By Jim Corbett, USA TODAY
CINCINNATI Head coach Marvin Lewis knows the 2008 Cincinnati Bengals go as far as their supposedly improved defense allows.
To that end, the biggest offseason upgrade doesn't just figure to be linebacker Keith Rivers, the ninth overall pick in the April draft. Cincinnati's most impactful defensive acquisition could prove to be fiery former Dallas Cowboys and Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer.
"It was like getting another No. 1 draft pick," Lewis says of Zimmer's positive influence. "I feel real comfortable with Mike.
VOTE: Who wins AFC North?
"He brings a great approach from front to back. He sees all 11 guys. That's what I think as a defensive coordinator your responsibility is."
Is the intense Bill Parcells disciple just what the doctor ordered to energize a previously stagnant unit that has ranked in the league's bottom third during Lewis' five-season tenure?
Is this the season the Bengals finally have a defense to back a potent offense led by quarterback Carson Palmer? Zimmer brings in-your-face accountability, an emphasis on fundamentals and a respected teaching style.
"Mike's very no-nonsense and they've responded well to that," Lewis says. "It's a hard-playing group. It's just that they haven't been consistent.
"We need just to be more consistent."
Zimmer, 52, is a hands-on communicator who saw talent mixed with wounded pride on a unit that finished 27th in yards allowed last season after ranking 30th in 2006.
"The real positive I found when I first got here is all these guys are good guys who want to win," Zimmer says. "They're tired of hearing how bad they are."
The Bengals remind Zimmer of the 2001 Dallas Cowboys unit he transformed from 19th-ranked to fourth-ranked force with an assist from an old college coaching acquaintance — Lewis.
This is Zimmer's chance to pay forward that dramatic reversal thanks to a three-day weekend spent breaking down film of the 2000 Baltimore Ravens defense with their then-coordinator, Lewis. That Super Bowl XXXV-winning defense surrendered 970 rushing yards, the fewest in a 16-game NFL season.
"Marvin re-enforced some things, swarm to the ball, pad level, footwork," Zimmer says. "We talk the same language."
After firing Chuck Bresnahan, Lewis turned to Zimmer after former Falcons head coach Bobby Petrino left his staff and team hanging by resigning late last season to coach Arkansas.
The backbone of Zimmer's defense begins with more press coverage by cornerbacks Leon Hall and Johnathan Joseph, both former first-round picks.
"Mike cut his teeth as a secondary coach, so technically in the back end, we've improved tremendously," Lewis says. "We already had some talented guys. Now you see it happening on the practice field.
It helps that the Bengals appear to have savvy and stability in the middle with Dhani Jones, a ninth-year journeyman who emerged after signing two weeks into the season.
"It's definitely a more aggressive style," Jones says. "We're not bend-don't-break. We're more in your face, more man-zone blitz."
Aggressive and unpredictable appears an upgrade over bent and broken.
Palmer threw for a career-best 4,131 yards with 26 touchdowns to no avail considering a trap-door defense. He suggested after a 7-9 finish that coaching changes were needed. Bresnahan was fired and Zimmer hired.
"They're so disciplined and sound," Palmer says, "you just have confidence that they're going to make people have to go 80-90 yards and not give up 60-yard chunks."
Rivers upgrades the run defense. Former Tennessee Titans defensive end Antwan Odom, who had eight sacks last season, should ease double-team pressure on Robert Geathers, who had 10½ sacks in 2006 but slipped to 3½ last season.
"When we're healthy, we have as much talent as anybody needs to get to the Super Bowl," Palmer says. "Nobody expects much out of us and that's a good thing. It's just the opposite of Cleveland, where everybody expects them to be good.
"Guys expect to win here. We're in a good spot."

Mods can easily maintain this list by clicking on the post count and seeing if anyone has more than 1 post count (I'll have 2 ) and deleting the others. Hopefully we won't have to do this.
This new format should keep things nice and tidy around here. It will make finding your wants much easier, which is the purpose of a thread like this anyway, right?
One last note - all Haves and Wants are restricted to the topic at hand. For example, don't list a few 3DS games as a Want then list off a bunch of Atari games in your Haves. 'CML' and 'Paypal' are exceptions to this rule.

Calls this what you may, but I would say that Blacks actually benefited from the slavery. Comparing the current lives of many African Americans to Africans, one can see that the former live in much better conditions with greater freedoms and opportunities.

Pre-Ordered And Paid For Brand New Flame Red 3DS (via exchange of unopened Cosmo Black unit)
Cosmo Black 3DS (preferably NEW) eligible for the Ambassador Program/bought before price drop.
Note: Trade would not take place until Flame Red 3DS was picked up on the 9th, unless trader is comfortable otherwise. Just trying to lock in a deal before then since it'll be tempting as to tear into the 3DS when I pick it up.
Note 2: If console is new, need proof of its pre-price drop date purchase (a receipt seems like the best way to determine this) and the receipt MUST be shipped.
What a doozy for a first time marketplace transaction.

iirc, the only way to get ambassador status was too connect to the e-shop before the 12th. so it's impossible to get a brand new one. may get a unit that was just bought, opened, and then connected to the e-sop. but i doubt that is possible.
Oh ye of little faith: http://www.gizmodo.c...ation-extended/
I realize that this is just for Australia currently, but I have a feeling the program will be extended to those in other areas by September 30th.
However, that kind of unit would be nice, yes.

|Mon, 11 Apr 2011 15:01:33 GMT
I would like to save statistics on 10,000,000 (ten millions) pairs of particles, how they relate to one another in any given space in time. So suppose that within a total experiment time of T1..T1000 (assume that T1 is when the experiment starts, and T1000 is the time when the experiment ends) I would like, per each pair of particles, to measure the relationship between every Tn -- T(n+1) interval: T1..T2 (this is the first interval) T2..T3 T3..T4 ...... ...... T9,999,999..T10,000,000 (this is the last interval) For each such a particle pair (there are 10,000,000 pairs) I would like to save some figures (such as distance, angel etc) on each interval of [ Tn..T(n+1) ] Once saved, the query I will be using to retrieve this data is as follows: "give me all particle pairs on time interval [ Tn..T(n+1) ] where the distance between the two particles is smaller than X and the angle between the two particles is greater than Y". Meaning, the query will always take place for all particle pairs on a certain interval of time. How would you model this in Cassandra, so that the writes/reads are optimized? given the database size involved, can you recommend on a suitable solution? (I have been recommended to both MongoDB / Cassandra). I should mention that the data does change often -- we run many such experiments (different particle sets / thousands of experiments) and would need a very decent performance of reads/writes. Is Cassandra suitable for this time of work? -- View this message in context: http://cassandra-user-incubator-apache-org.3065146.n2.nabble.com/Cassandra-Database-Modeling-tp6261778p6261778.html Sent from the email@example.com mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Arthritis & Rheumatism, Volume 62,
November 2010 Abstract Supplement
Abstracts of the American College of
Rheumatology/Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals
Annual Scientific Meeting
Atlanta, Georgia November 6-11, 2010.
Correlation between Bone Mineral Density and Urine Carboxyl Terminal of Collagen Type (CTX) in Premenopausal Fibromyalgia Patients.
Alsalawy3, Alaa, Kamel2, Mohammed M., Eweis1, Ibrahim
AlAzhar University, Cairo, Egypt
ALAzhar University, Alkhobar, Saudi Arabia
Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt
The aim of the study was to compare Bone mineral Density (BMD), Serum Osteocalcin (OC), and Urine Carboxyl terminal of collagen type I(CTX) of premenopausal patients suffering from fibromyalgia(FMS), to that of healthy premenopausal females. Then to determine the relationship between (BMD), urine( CTX), and the development of rapid bone loss and early osteoporosis among premenopausal fibromyalgic patients.
Subjects and Method:
Thirty-one premenopausal patients with fibromyalgia and thirty age matched healthy females subjects as a control group were included in this study. Serum osteocalcin and urine CTX were measured using ELISA technique (Enzyme Linked Immune Sorbent assay) in all cases, BMD was measured in femoral neck and lumber spine by using X- ray absorptiometry. Statistical analysis were done using SPSS virgin 15. Student's unpaired (t)test and pearson's correlation analysis were performed to assess the correlation between BMD and urine CTX.
BMD of lumber and femoral neck were significantly lower in fibromyalgic patients compared to the healthy females (p<0.001). Serum Osteocalcin were lower in fibromyalgic patients with no significant difference compared to healthy females. There were a significant negative correlation between urine CTX and BMD of lumber spine and femoral neck in fibromyalgic patients.
The results of this study indicate that the fibromyalgic premenopausal patients are highly susceptible to develop osteopenia and early osteoporosis comapred to normal healthy subjects. We recommend to measure BMD of all fibromyalgia patients especially those with high level of urine CTX.

Scene Info
John Magnum, the team's star pitcher, blames rookie catcher Kyle Quinn for losing today's game. Kyle explains he doesn't really know the ins-and-outs of the position so John decides to show him. He orders Kyle to get on his knees and suck his big dick. John fucks Kyle's face then they switch places and John swallows Kyle's huge piece like an all-star. The true training begins when John bends over and pitches his monster-cock into Kyle's tight hole. Kyle struggles at first but eventually catches it like a pro!

[quote:Anonymous Coward 825027:MV8yMDUyODM1XzM0NTEwNzM3XzdBQjUyNzQ=] To me, it's pretty accurate. The soon could be as soon as the sun gets around to be in the sun sign of Aquarius, from Earth's point of view. The brown dwarf is opposite in the sky, and has been in the sun sign of Leo for quite some time, now, it seems. The manner of passing into the new dimension, "instantly", coincides with the "soon", because there is an electrical stream which flows between the brown dwarf and the sun. It is this electrical stream which caused Comet Holmes to outburst in October 2007. If, when, we get into this electrical stream, then Earth will begin her expansion, from 7000 to 10000 kilometers in diameter - the earth's core is 7000 kilometers in diameter. Those who do not die, will see their bodies transition also.. Instantly. We have to prepare ourselves for this transition, by purifying our lives, and our bodies, now, making them lighter and more buoyant, able to receive this energy, without failure. We have to approach the new energy as much as we can, now, so that the gap, when the time comes, is not so great, and our bodies will be able to assimilate the shock, for that's what it will be, and integrate the energy, instead of falling into disintegration, both emotionally and physically. The word Anne uses in her French talk is "vaporize", because our bodies and the earth, to this present dimension, will become more vaporous, of a less dense nature. It's something to look forward to, but we have to be prepared for it also. [/quote]

Part One
My dearly beloved daughter, it is always important to remember that when you suffer it is not your pain only, which you feel. It is My pain you endure. The pain I speak of, is not that which I endured during My Crucifixion, but that which I face today as I watch and feel the pain of humanity.
People are suffering in the world because of their darkness of soul. Even those who live simple lives and who try to follow My Teachings are suffering. They can feel wretched as they struggle to love each other. They also suffer because of the doubts, which they experience in their faith.
So many do not understand the meaning of eternal life or the fact that life does not end when a person dies on this earth. This is why so many do not prepare themselves for the next life.
Many people in the past did not prepare adequately and are either in
This generation is being given a Gift, which no other generation has benefited from. Many will simply make the transition from this life instantly without having to experience death, as you know it.
My Second Coming will bring with it this extraordinary Gift. So do not fear. Rejoice, for I come to you to bring you a prosperous future.
Think of it like this. While you will endure some difficulties, and you will have to witness the way in which My Existence will be denounced, it will not last long.
I realise many of you worry but I solemnly promise you that the transition will be swift. Then, when you witness the New Jerusalem as it descends upon the New Earth, the New Paradise, you will be filled with ecstasy.
No words can describe this beautiful Creation. My Heart bursts with Love when I think of how you and your loved ones will react with wonder. That will be when the mystery of the final covenant will become clear to you.
The clarity of My Promise to come again will be truly understood at last.
The world will become one holy family and will live an existence in accordance with, and
in union with, the Divine Will of My Father
This is going to be a time of re-union, as
the first resurrection for the dead
will take place. Those who have been cleansed on this earth, through the purification, will join those who have also been purified in Purgatory to live in the New Paradise.
Much will change but all those who follow Me and join Me in My New Era of Peace, over which
I will reign through My spiritual direction
, will find peace of soul.
At last the suffering experienced, under the reign of Satan on this earth, will be no more.
Every pain, every suffering, every prayer, every effort endured by you to gather the souls who languish behind and who kick and struggle all the way, will be worth it.
The New Paradise is ready. All you need to do is to prepare your souls and walk towards the gates. Those of you, who redeem yourselves, in My Eyes, will be given the keys to open the gates.
Persevere during this coming tribulation for it is something, which must happen as it has been foretold in My Father's Book.
Your prayers
will mitigate much of it and My Father will intervene at every possible stage to prevent evil deeds from being inflicted on His precious children.
Your Jesus

RE: How to change thickness of curves drawn by ParametricPlot3D?
Use the 4th argument of the parametrization to give style directives.
ParametricPlot3D[{Cos[t], Sin[t], 1, AbsoluteThickness[2]}, {t, 0, 2Pi}]

It must be easy but how do I add line/curve thickness in
ParametricPlot3D as in
ParametericPlot3D[{Cos[t], Sin[t], 1}, {t,0, 2Pi}];
Can AbsoluteThickness[2] be added to the above line somehow,

Quoting Quiverfull: The Selfish Use Birth Control?
by SierraThe following is an installment of the Religious Fundamentalism and Sexuality Project. Read the previous installment here. You are also invited to join the project.Young Lindsay Lohan making a face. Sex Education and the Body Q. 2: How did your parents and/or church respond to your questions (if any)? How did they (and you) understand and react to puberty? Calulu My parents could not be approached for any questions involving sex I learned around the time I turned eight. One day I innocently asked what a certain 'dirty' word meant only to be told by my mother to ask my father. Once my father came home I asked him and was told that a) he didn't know and b) if I EVER sai … [Read more...]
Can you TELL? or, Lies I Believed About Women's Reproduction
by SierraContrary to the popular Shakira song, hips totally do lie.Ever since Todd Akin's remarks about women's bodies' magical powers to repel the sperm of rapists sent echoes of shock reverberating through the mainstream media, pieces of similar doctrines have bubbled back up into my memory. Akin's views did not surprise me, as they did not surprise other bloggers who study the Religious Right. Instead, his assertions reminded me just how much liberty fundamentalist Christians take with scientific and medical matters, and how willingly some of them abuse their authority as pastors to spread misinformation about the natural world.In a 1962 sermon called Oneness, William Branham p … [Read more...]
Divorce as Salvation
By SierraGrowing up fundamentalist, I heard endless tirades about the importance of having a set of heterosexual parents. My mother was to be my example of submission, selflessness and homemaking. My father was to be my protector, modeling the role of my future husband. I'll say more about some of the problems with this model in a future post.I was taught that children needed both a feminine and a masculine parental figure, that the traits of each would "balance" us somehow (even though I was expected to grow up 100% feminine). The worst possible sin against one's children was to entertain the thought of divorcing one's spouse.When I was 13, my parents divorced. It was awesome. … [Read more...]
Contradictions: Who's the Visual-est of Them All?
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj3dYHwx2mMby SierraFundamentalists argue that women should dress conservatively because men are visual. This is supposedly something women can't possibly understand, because women are emotional, not visual. Women become attracted to men through flirtation and flattery; indeed, male visuality is like a foreign language to them. Men are not obliged to cover up for women for this reason.However, Libby Anne has brought up the following argument that a fundamentalist father made against women's right to vote: The first impact of women voters was really felt after the televised Nixon / Kennedy debates. Nixon, the superior statesman without question, l … [Read more...]
How the Modesty Doctrine Hurts Men, Too
by SierraI've written a few times about how the modesty doctrine hurts women. Now it's time to switch lenses. The modesty doctrine also wreaks havoc on the minds of young men in the Christian patriarchy movement. Here's how:It teaches men to be afraid of women because their sexual power is too great to be resisted. It teaches men to despise women and hampers their relationships. It teaches men to be afraid of their own bodies. It teaches men to control and criticize women in order to protect themselves. It teaches men to be paranoid about their sexual orientation. It teaches gay men that they don't exist.(There are probably more consequences of which I'm not aware, so m … [Read more...]
Daughter of the Patriarchy: Daybreak
by Sierra By the time I turned in my final remedial math exam, my family had settled into a tiny rental house in Pennsylvania. I was now eligible to start community college, getting prerequisites out of the way while finishing up my high school diploma. For my first semester, I was registered for Basic Problems of Philosophy (my mother, snickering, said, "There are a lot of problems with Philosophy," implying that it was a godless discipline), and Earth Science.Community college was a dazzling experience. Not only could I drive myself there three nights a week and not have to worry about tiptoeing around my father's ever-simmering rage, I could talk to normal people face-to-face.

Today Nadia and I discussed some things about my kinesin and microtubules page. It was very informative and I have a lot of work to do with it in order to make it usable.
We also attempted to clean some microscope slides and slips in the steel racks we got a while ago. We started with a 1% solution of Alconox and sonicated them for 480s. This caused a lot of soap to stick to the slides. I purchased a different rack that will fit in the sonicator and hopefully it will help me since we will be able to put the lid on the thing. We decided that some more investigation is needed on cleaning slides with soap and a sonicator. Perhaps we aren't using the right soap, or too much of it.
Finally, figured out a way to have several cameras looking at the tobacco seeds in different types of water. Larry finished the time lapsed camera setup and I purchased 5 USB cameras for $2 a pop. When they arrive, we should be able to have this experiment completely automated so we can set it and forget it.

Lothian and Borders Fire Brigade said the electrical fault theory was based on the evidence currently available.
However, it stressed that its team had not been able to carry out a full investigation.
The blaze, which broke out on 7 December, was the most serious in the Scottish capital for many years.
It destroyed more than a dozen properties in linked premises up to seven storeys high, including the Gilded Balloon comedy club.
Fire investigators have been hindered by the ferocity of the fire, which left most of the buildings too unsafe to examine thoroughly.
However, they believe it started in a converted lift shaft between the Living Room and Club Loca pubs.
A spokeswoman for Lothian and Borders Fire Brigade said it would be several weeks before a report would be ready to be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.
'Fully satisfied'
"The most likely cause of the fire may have been electrical in origin," she said.
"But we cannot exclude at this time other possibilities unless further evidence is presented to the fire investigation team.
"We are fully satisfied with the conclusions of the fire investigation team given the evidence available at this time."

Quiet place. On Sunday no staff there, but very well indicated where we had to get the keys from. On Monday morning the staff took really nice care of us. Great breakfast! //Tranquilidad y a pesar de llegar un domingo y no haber nadie en recepción, estava muy bien indicado dónde teníamos que recojer la llave. Lunes por la mañana la gente que nos atendió nos dió un muy buen servicio. Un desayuno fabuloso! We only missed air conditioning...and maybe a little pool around, as we got there with 34ºC // Le faltaria aire acondicionado en la habitación (justamente estuvimos cuando las temperaturas en esa zona eran de 34ºC)
the room was really nice and clean.the whole hotel had a nice feel to it. the hotel was let down by the restuarant and bar being closed. Apart from the town Solothurn there was not much to see in the area.
Very nice location, very nice rooms, internet free, good breakfast.
The place is beautiful and very relaxing. The hotel is located outside of the city but not too far away, so it is easy to go anywhere (by car). Our room was extremely clean and spacious. It is one of the hotels where I'm delighted to return.
Ramada is well located, moderate in price, very clean and comfortable. I recommend it mostly for buusiness people or those who want to visit the town and the local area. The architecture is unique.It is ultra modern among the more traditional type of architecture
Air conditioning and WiFi worked well. Free parking in front. Great location and pleasant view across the river. Good food. A well designed modern building. Breakfast was expensive.
I have stayed there a number of times. Staff are always very friendly and helpful. The rooms are small-ish but very comfortable and clean Public computer in entrance hall never seems to work.
Helpful reception, proximity to centre. The room though smallish was very comfortable, and we slept well. Good view of the river. How do you describe something you don't like, without it being a form of complaint ? We found the current roadworks in Solothurn called for some initiative on finding how to arrive. On question (below) about guest reviews, can't remember what they said, but we expected Ramada to be ok. We stayed in Solothurn as being in easy reach of Basel for a one day visit.
It was clean efficient, pleasant staff. Ice was not readily available
Clean, high quality design. Very nice room. Quiet. Food & drinks + service match room quality. No,
I give this hotel a 2 star because of its great location, stunning views, and parking situation. At first sight the hotel is stunning, and parking was always available nearby. But that is as it good as it gets. Our room was small and Still had wet floors in the bathroom from the cleaning service. Also, do yourself a favor and skip breakfast, for 25 Fr you get a limited choice of breads and a boiled egg. On both occassion's we asked for scrambled eggs and after an hour they never came out. I spoke to the front desk and her response was 'sorry, I will let the manager know'. Needless to say they didn't do anything about it on the second day. Furthermore, my friend paid for the hotel suite, and when he asked to get another room due to the Air conditioning being broken. They responded by putting him in a room the size of a closet and simply said 'sorry'. While my other friends suite was unavailable at checkin since they 'overbooked' the hotel. So out of our large group that stayed here, over 80% were dissatisfied
location of hotel was excellent
the well being floor was a great benefit.
Clean and quite room, good working wifi, friendly people at the reception and in the restaurant. The breakfast, although of good quality and with an extensive choice, is too expensive : 50 chf (= 36€). I do not think that this price was mentioned somewhere in advance.
very nice SPA
Good clean room but small. Very nice staff. Perfect location in town.
Nice atmosphere Standard room is very small
Location, restaurant, frendly staff. Noisy street in early morning, very basic breakfast. Parking outside old town, but not so far from hotel.
The character of the building and the town
noise early Saturday morning
Nice restaurant, good continental breakfast, clean room, free wireless internet, friendly staff.
Excellent evening meal, very welcoming and helpful staff.
Beautiful traditional Swiss hotel, right in the centre of the old town. Well modernised facilities without disturbing the character of the building. Right by the square with markets, fountains and cafes. Clock tower and bells are close and charming, but might disturb some. Food is excellent and the staff were very helpful and charming, spoke very good english and were happy to tolerate our feeble attempts at German. Parking is inconvenient and expensive as cars are not allowed in the old town
Small hotel, very nice personnel. Restaurant downstairs that offers good food. Nice location in the middle of the old town of Solothurn. The hotel is an old historic building but newly renovated inside. No air conditioning in the room.
safety box with as automatic reception for key narrow stairs - not presented elevator
Free bar
Nice view, friendly stuff, very good breakfast, free internet access. It could be a bit cheaper
Very interesting, historical building with a modern contemperary interior. Only to cross the bridge on foot to reach the Altstadt. Underground parking at a stone's throw and access to the motorway in 2 minutes. Noise of trains driving by regularly. But in Switzerland trains are never far away...
drinks and internet free, excellent location, historic building, nicely renovated, river view lobby doesn't open until 2pm, staff came late but was very apologetic
Good room overlooking the Aare. Receptionist helpful and restaurant excellent.Breakfast OK but not a wide choice.
Beautiful location next to the river.
Location is good. Special ambiance. Drinks/Fruit/Coffee available for guest. There was no staff present. You needed to call a number to get a code to access your room key in a deposit box. This was't a problem, just a bit unusual.
When I checked in the lady was lovely, rooms were fresh and clean and bathroom was spotless When I did check out, I had a completely diffiernet experience with the receptionist, I found her to be very rude, I am not sure if she as too young, but there was no, How was your stay, Enjoy Switzerland or anything. In comparrison to when I checked in in turn the receptionst was spot on, attentive and polite with allot of ease.
Very clean nice size rooms, restaraunt had good choice on menu with very nice food, Staff very friendly and helpful None
A hotel with a high standard but not inpersonal like a lot of large business type hotels. noted that passersby stopped for a drink/ coffee etc. Good breakfast.
Light, bright, comfortable room. Very good breakfasts. Amazing 400 plus tv/radio stations. Very clean. No complaints and even happy with 9 minute walk into town from hotel
Good hygiene. You can use the washing machine for free, too. Free WIFI. Breakfast acceptable. The women from the staff are supportive, but they often go out to smoke. If your room faces the courtyard (which is more expensive), if your window is open you can easily get the smoke of the people who have to go out to smoke. The windows are very low on the pavement.
The hotel is very clean and functional. The beds are very comfortable. It is in a quiet area 5-10 minutes work from Solothurn centre. On arrival at the hotel there was nobody at reception and I could not enter the hotel. Luckily my friend who spoke Swiss/German was able to read a sign and make a phone call to punch in a keypad number and retrieve a key ( although it was different to the room I booked). The keys are then extremely difficult to use with the door locks, and many times I gave up and didn't bother to lock the door.Breakfast is very basic by European standards and I have encountered far better on recent travels.
Friendly, helpful staff. Free WiFi. Very close to train station. Short walk to old town. Only 4 free parking spaces
Free parking. Nearby the main station.
Excellent location being 2 minutes from the old town and 1 minute from the main train station. Very helpful and friendly staff. DVD player in each room with no charge for DVDs (and you don't see that very often). WIFI access in-room usually plays a significant role in my decision for a hotel for business trips. This time it wasn't necessary but could be a factor in the future.
Clean and renewed hotel. Very easy to find it. The Hotel is really very good hotel but with 3 stars. Arguments: no pay TV, no mini bar, very small restaurant without professional chief cook
We stayed 5 nights in July 2010 during the opera fesitival. We were very pleased and would recommend it highly recognizing the following: The hotel staff spoke good English, was very accomodating and pleasant. The location is excellent w/ just a 3-5 min walk across river to the town center.. The hotel is small and can be likened best to an upscale Bed & Breakfast. They provide a continental breakfast and a limited but small menu that they will prepare anytime during day or evening. They have a small patio in the back where we took most of our meals, a parking area behind the hotel and internet access. If you want value, clean accomodations and a friendly accomodating staff this would be an excellent choice. We encountered no problems during our stay
Location: 200 metres from Solothurn old town, and 100 from the station shd you come by train. Very quiet and nice street, good parking in the hotel's courtyard, very friendly staff. A Swiss garni as it shd be, in probably the most beautiful and surely the most elegant Swiss town.
The staffs are friendly. and helpful The WIFI system is no good. Sometimes the WIFI fail.
Quite hotel. Internet free. Parking place (limited) Nothing
Its proximity to the town centre and to the customer I was visiting the next day.
very near to solothurn station, good service, ready to help anytime, fantastic Nothing
Professionalism and friendlyness of the staff. I was leaving at 5 am and they with no prompting from myself offered and prepared a take away morning breakfast meal No bad points
Excellent welcome from the owner. No
most amazingly comfortable bed. Nice room. would have liked free wifi and a small fridge in the room.
Good quality hotel in a central location. Had a bit of difficulty finding the hotel - walked past it twice - before realising what "Hotel de la Tour Rouge" was in German! Very helpful and pleasant staff. Excellent breakfast.
The ambience, room quality and cleanliness; food
Very friendly and helpful staff. Good central location for visiting Solothurn. Good sized room with period elements
The location was very good, the food and service good.The rooms were clan and comfortable Sleeping was a problem because of the clock striking every 15 minutes. Double glazing would improve sound proofing
The service was outstanding.
Centrally located in the now pedestrianised old walled city of Solothurn, a great place to stay with plenty of restaurants and shops in easy walking distance.
The excellent and helpful staff, location in the old town, the hotel's sidewalk cafe the street noise was a bit much, but then it was a national holiday
Very good and very new, family run hotel with great restaurant (always busy with locals). Contemporary furniture and design nicely housed in refurbished village inn. Very clean.
ottimo staff - no problems with english - excellent room no phone in the room
I would not stay at this hotel ever again, nor would i recommend it to any of my business colleagues. I was forced to pay for my room before even checking out, even though they had a copy of my passport and credit card info. The hotel manager called the police and they knocked on my door waking me up at 1am!! they took my passport from me and said i can collect it when i paid my bill the following day, i was made to look like a criminal !!! not a good expirence! totally disgusted with the service i was given, This hotel manager is not fit to run a business. The staff manager is not fit to run a hotel if he cannot trust his guests.
Staff was extremely nice and helpful. We got in the hotel restaurant the best "rösti" potatoes we ever had. I recommend them!

originally i wanted to just restore my touch 4g, but ive tried redsn0w sn0wbreeze and tiny umbrella to get my shsh blobs and even though redsnow gets them and submits to cydia, i cant retrieve them.
i am running ios 5.1 and cant upgrade to 5.1.1 or downgrade to 5.0.1 because i dont have the shsh blobs for it.
snowbreeze rejects the 5.1 ipsw and its not on the list of downloadable ones.
ive uninstalled just about every cydia tweak, all the apps, and for the life of me i cant get this thing running smoothly.
when i ran redsnow fetch shsh blobs (think that was command) it said it retrieved 16 blogs and submitted them but i cant get them back with ishshit from cydia, tiny umbrella, or snowbreeze. i would like to upgrade or downgrade with a reset.
if no one can help with that i would like a trick to find all this extra data 3.4 gig or so, even though ive stripped the music videos and apps off.
any help please!

I don't speak Swedish so I have no idea what the guy in this video is saying. It doesn't matter, though, because his actions speak louder than words.
In the video, he runs a Panasonic drill/driver (EY7441) and recip saw (EY451A) underwater – presumably to demonstrate how resistant they are to moisture. Both tools are IP56 rated, meaning they have passed tests in which they're subjected to specified amounts of moisture and dust, though not even the manufacturer claims it's okay to submerse them in water. There is, however, a photo on the company's Japanese website of the saw lying out in the rain.
The drill/driver in the video is a 14.4-volt tool and has been sold in the U.S. for several years. The recip saw is new. It's currently available in Europe, Asia, and Oceania, and will be released for sale in the U.S. in 2013. I saw one last month at the STAFDA show. Aside from the saw's evident resistance to moisture, the most interesting thing about it is that it's part of Panasonic's new dual-voltage line, which can be run on 14.4- or 18-volt batteries.
Unless you speak Swedish, you may want to skip ahead to the 28-second mark because that's when a tool first goes into the water.
Archived Comments
As I understand it, many tools will operate under water and after bringing them up. HOWEVER, what will happen in a couple days when they dry out and CORRODE ?!?
Yeah, that's kind of impressive. However, we just had a super storm here on Long Island, NY - a major disaster area now. I wonder how long it'll last with SALT WATER soaked wood, debris, etc.
This was a very stoup thing
Yeah, I'd really like to see this test done, and then revisited, a week or so later, with various product lines. I really doubt any of them will be serviceable afterwards or if they are I'd bet all the points of contact inside and any windings are damaged enough to initiate severe premature failure.
Guys, I think the point is that you CAN use these tools under water, at least occasionally. I can see many situations where this could be handy, especially rebuilding and repairing docks and such destroyed by Sandy. As to salt water, I wonder if flushing with fresh immediately after using in salt would help.
I'm not sure what - if anything - this video proves. I posted it because I hadn't seen anything like it before. Those of you who have commented make good points. Will the tools still work a day, two days, or a week later? Would it make any difference if it was saltwater? i don't know the answer to that. It's my understanding from talking to a product manager at Panasonic that the weak link is the electronics - and that they apply a rubber-like coating to theirs. Other companies may do this too. I'll look into it. I may even try what you guys are talking about - dunking a bunch of tools and seeing if they work later on. If I do, I'll write about it in my blog. Thanks for you comments. David Frane Editor, Tools of the Trade
Almost all Cordless tools will run under water. I did this a couple of years ago with my Cordless Cutsaw from DEWALT. The problem came a few weeks later when the tool basically seized up inside. There is a reason they make tools that are designed to work under water. Cordless tools are not.

Fern Shaffer and Othello Anderson
The collaborative performance duo of Fern Shaffer and Othello Anderson have been developing a 9 year ritual dedicated to calling attention to the importance of protecting the environment. Enacted in various settings to highlight the importance of water, soil, the forests and different geographies, the artists capture the spirit of these events through stunning and mysterious photographs which reveal a primal connection to the earth.
"The earth is our home, it nourishes us physically, sustains us aesthetically and spiritually. We are part of the earth and the earth is part of us. Self-preservation is the first law of nature. As we love and protect ourselves so shall we love and protect the earth. Our rituals are created to focus attention on the importance of protecting the earth and it's environment."

Here are 4 Mineral makeup reviews of top brands that were first to introduce us to this over the counter wonder product.
Over the last 30 years, mineral makeup has made its entrance into the large world of beauty and cosmetic lines.
Although it was not widely known then as it is today, mineral makeup has slowly become increasingly more popular due to its positive benefits it has on the skin.
The natural organic minerals that it is made from as opposed to man-made cosmetics that women around the world use today is one of the attractive features that many people have found help benefit the skin instead of just covering imperfections with manufactured chemically balance makeup.
There are 4 major brands of mineral makeup that the public has sought out over the years in hopes to find the perfect blend for their personal uses. If you have never tried mineral makeup or are relatively new to the mineral makeup line, then you will want to research and do some mineral makeup comparisons of a few of the major product lines to find which is best for you and your skin.
There is not going to be one main type of manufactured makeup for everyone out there, just as not all types of mineral makeup will accent the beauty of your skin the way that you desire.
Founded by Diane Richardson Ranger, this line of micronized mineral makeup comes from our earth's natural minerals. With the attitude that 'looking good is now good for your skin', Colorescience uses the natural pigments of the minerals to reflect light in order to soften features while giving your skin a youthful glow.
While this product line of cosmetics is formulated for all skin types, it has a positive effect on the condition of your skin while you use it.
The Colorescience line of products has a positive benefit for the skin since each product is uniquely formed with extensive research in order to authenticate the use of nanotechnology for development.
By using organically grown minerals, they are essentially anti-inflammatory and act as an antiseptic; you will find not only a soothing feeling but also help by keeping the skin clean and not clogging your pores.
Originating in 1994, Jane Iredale came from the film, theater and television industry to provide beauty industry with a line of mineral makeup that is beneficial for the skin.
While working together with dermatologists and plastic surgeons around the world in order to develop a product line that is natural, she has managed to provide a line of mineral makeup that not only provides color enhancement, but also the many benefits for the skin.
With the Iredale line of cosmetics that effectively cover conditions such as acne, rosacea, and redness due to laser treatments or chemical peels.
Containing no talc or parabens to clog the pores of your skin, is composed of inert minerals that cannot support bacteria in order to help keep your skin clean and clear of imperfections.
Blended minerals and pigments that have been micro-pulverized form microscopic flat crystals for this unique skin product line.
With the ability of these crystals to overlap one another and protect the skin from outside pollutants while protecting from the sun's damaging UV rays, your skin is still able to breathe and function during the day without needing continuous reapplication.
This very popular brand of cosmetic line has been in the market for many years with a devote group of customers. They have branched out from the traditional makeup line and joined the ranks of mineral makeup providers.
There is some speculation in the cosmetic market around this brand of mineral makeup since it is not completely natural and does contain some preservatives as well as additives such as aloe, vitamins E and B5 along with a small amount of necessary fillers.
For some people looking for mineral-based makeup, L Oreal may be the cosmetic line for you. Just as other types of makeup have varying affects on different people, this line of products is not for everyone.
You will have to sample it for yourself in order to see if it is right for you and your skin, just as you would any other product line you are considering purchasing.
After a lifetime of searching for answers to her own personal skin issues, Kirsten Corcoran began the Larenim product line to help those who have experienced the trials with skin imperfections as she once had.
With the success of her own products, Kirsten has made the Larenim product line available for others to experience the benefits that only mineral makeup can bring to your skin.
Being extremely versatile and easy to apply, the entire product line of Larenim is made from 100% minerals that are non-drying, irritating or toxic to the skin.
You will not find talc, dyes, oils or chemicals that are widely used in manufactured makeup today.
By sealing in the skin's natural moisture while diffusing oil, these minerals will not harbor bacteria and are naturally soothing on the skin
The search for mineral makeup can be an extensive one for a consumer that is not familiar with the market and the brands available.
With some background information, you are sure to choose a product line that is not only pure in what it claims to be for advantages and benefits for your skin, but also honest and helps maintain the natural beauty that you hold within yourself without feeling covered up or made-up as you do with manufactured chemically enhanced beauty products.
While there are a number of expensive beauty products in the market today under the niche of mineral makeup.
You can often find a variety of cheap mineral makeup brands that use all natural ingredients in order to obtain the same results as high-priced products on the shelf right beside them.
In the end, it is your choice to which brand is right for you regardless of price or product line.
With well-known companies such as Avon and Neutrogena along with many others, you can be confident to find a variety of colors and types of mineral makeup for daily uses for any number of skin types.
You will want to be very choosy when deciding on a pure mineral makeup product line or one that is just `mineral based` with additives or preservatives.

Aha. Good to hear that you figured it out. I'm still curious on the
"duplicate" issue though--do you actually see duplicate URLs?

No need to hack the source. Try something like this:
start_url: http://localhost/docs/foo/
limit_urls_to: /docs/foo/ /docs/bar/ [etc]
>i.e. if page /a/b/c/d is indexed, then if it contains any hrefs:

Sure. You just want to set the limit_urls_to and exclude_urls as
appropriate. Both accept multiple strings. If a URL matches any
pattern in limit_urls_to and DOESN'T match a pattern in exclude_urls,
it will be added to the "TODO" list.
See <http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#limit_urls_to> and
Absolute and relative URLs are resolved before they are compared with
the limits. So a URL of '/' would become http://localhost/ and would
be ignored. Similarly, a URL of '../' would become
http://localhost/docs/ and would be ignored. Neither one has a
pattern that matches in limit_urls_to.
If you wanted to restrict indexing to the /docs/ directory but wanted
to exclude a specific directory (like Java), you could do:
start_url: http://localhost/docs/
limit_urls_to: /docs/
exclude_urls: /docs/java/
>The way things are now, if one would index a page on geocities, f.ex., one
>would index the whole geocities, since each geocities page contains a
No, this isn't true. See above. Actually the default for
limit_urls_to is: limit_urls_to: ${start_url}
So if you only wanted to index everything in the htdig.org mailing
list archives, you'd just set:
start_url: http://www.htdig.org/mail/
Every URL that doesn't match this prefix will be ignored.
Effectively, you've limited the indexing to only that directory and
its subdirectories (i.e. each year and month).
My guess is that your limit_urls_to is a bit liberal. As I asked
earlier, what does your config file look like?

Port Adelaide's best start to an AFL season won't mean a campaign without pain, caretaker coach Alan Richardson has warned.
Taking the reins while head coach Ken Hinkley recuperates from a virus that prevented him flying to Hobart for Saturday's clash with North Melbourne, Richardson says a 5-0 start has changed nothing about Port's rebuilding program.
"We're building a team, we're a really young footy team, there's new coaching (staff)," Richardson told reporters at Bellerive on Friday.
"We think we're heading in the right direction, absolutely.
"There's going to be some ups and there's going to be some downs.
"Basically we're really pleased with where they're going at the minute."
The Power finished 14th in 2012 with just five wins amidst concerns about the club's financial viability.
They sacked coach Matthew Primus mid-season before bringing Hinkley and long-time AFL assistant coach Richardson on board.
Now Port have emerged as early-season surprise packets in 2013, although three of their wins have come against strugglers Melbourne, GWS and Gold Coast.
Richardson said the club's early season form had lifted the playing group's self-belief.
"The guys are certainly getting some confidence, there's no doubt about that," he said.
"Probably our two best results have been against Adelaide and West Coast, teams that certainly coming into the season were highly regarded."
The Power face an early-season litmus test of their credentials as possible finalists against North Melbourne at Bellerive on Saturday.
Already punters are queuing up to back them hitting their first hurdle, installing them rank outsiders against a Kangaroos side that is 1-4.
Richardson said finals football had not been part of the thinking as he and Hinkley set about resurrecting the club, and that had not changed.
"We understand where we're at in terms of our age demographic," he said.
"We need to continue to play really good sustainable footy and then, depending on when it is that mathematically we're a real chance, that's when we'll potentially start talking about it.
"Right now it's about attack on the ball, attack on the man, using the footy well, team defence."
The Former Collingwood defender faces his own test when he steps into the top job at Bellerive after previous stints as assistant at Carlton, Essendon, the Magpies and the Western Bulldogs.
His last head coaching job was at VFL club Coburg in 2002 but he expects his boss to let him get on with the job on Saturday.
"He's going to be sitting down as a senior coach watching it on telly," Richardson said.
"I can't imagine how hard that would be.
"I'm sure if he felt strongly enough to give us some input he would send through some sort of message."

The title says it all. This blog is written by a person who knows his politics and has just recently vowed to be more balanced in his opinions by making sure he educates himself about the issues before he passes judgment. A very good resolution because because love of country plus love of truth always makes for a better patriot.
Visual Aesthetics – 8
Nothing much too see. Very very plain looking blog that makes use of white text on a black background. The profile photo gives some relief to the seriousness of it all. The plainness is however preferable to the mismatching clutter that a lot of other blogs have. This one screams simplicity and boasts it's content over it's look. It wouldn't hurt to add more images though.
User Friendliness – 8
Average user friendliness with out the perks that more features bring but also without the confusion that too many features also bring. The only missing feature that I would really like to see is the use Categories.
Reading Enjoyment – 9
Very substantial and thought provoking posts. The blog has been outdated for quite sometime with the author making a return just this month after a year of silence. His latest posts are very good not just in terms of writing but also in the content itself. Be prepared for some heavy thinking since this is far from a light witty blog.
User Info – 9
Good analysis of current events and issues. Not much raw information but a lot of opinions that readers, especially his American readers, can chew on.
Overall Experience – 9
I found this to be a very good blog. The author just needs to be able to get back to blogging and post more often and his readership will surely grow.

Microsoft has sold 40 million Windows 8 licences in the month since the launch, according to one of the new co-heads of the Windows unit, setting a faster pace than Windows 7 three years ago.
The sales number represents a solid but unspectacular start for the touch-friendly operating system designed to combat Apple's and Google's domination of mobile computing, which has shunted aside PCs in favour of iPads and smartphones.
Tami Reller, finance and marketing head of the Windows business, did not give a precise comparison, but sales of 40 million licences for Windows 8, launched on Oct. 26, appear to be ahead of Windows 7, which sold just over 60 million units in the first 10 weeks on sale at the end of 2009.
Reller did not break down the Windows 8 licence sales between relatively cheap upgrades and purchases of new machines running the new software, but suggested much of the growth was coming from upgrades.
"Windows 8 upgrade momentum is outpacing that of Windows 7," said Reller, speaking at an investor conference held by Credit Suisse. Upgrading to Windows 8 costs $40, compared to $US70 for the full software package or hundreds of dollars for a new PC.
The latest figure does not mean that 40 million users have adopted Windows 8. Many of the sales are to PC manufacturers, who in turn sell a large number of machines to companies, very few of which are using Windows 8 yet.
According to tech research firm StatCounter, about 1 per cent of the world's 1.5 billion or so personal computers - making a total of around 15 million - are actually runni ng Windows 8.
Reller did not disclose sales of Microsoft's new Surface tablet, its first-ever own-brand PC, designed to challenge the iPad head on.
The first Surface, based on a chip designed by ARM, does not run old versions of Microsoft programs. A slightly bigger version based on an Intel chip that will run the full Windows 8 Pro operating system and be fully compatible with the Office suite of applications will be available in January, Reller said.
The investor conference was the first public appearance for Reller since she was named as one of two executives to run the Windows unit after president Steven Sinofsky unexpectedly left two weeks ago. Julie Larson-Green heads the engineering side of Windows..
Reller said the Windows unit had survived Sinofsky's surprise departure.
"The team holistically is in great, great shape. And the product is in great shape," she said, responding to a question from a Credit Suisse analyst. "I think transitions are always somewhat of a challenge, but I think that timing-wise it is a reasonable time, and the team is busy."
Earlier in the day,
That is down from 960,000 sales in the same week a year ago, in line with reduced computer game spending across the board this year, as gamers hold off on purchases in the tight economy and move toward free online games.

Four down, one to go!
November 13, 2013
By Mallory Plummer (University of Vermont)
We have successfully crushed four out of five conservancies after spending the past week in Ehirovipuka Conservancy! For those of you scratching your heads wondering what in the world "crushed" means, it's a term used by our hilarious leader Vehi when we have successfully completed a task. Our Saturday morning was spent participating in a monthly foot patrol conducted by the game guards, Saky and Once of Ehirovipuka Conservancy. Saky and Once are very talented game guards and their wealth of knowledge as well as ability to spot wildlife was outstanding. The previous afternoon we had invited students from the local school to join us to see what scientists are doing in their conservancy. We had the pleasure of five students from grades 9-11 joining us for the three hour journey. We walked for nine kilometers through the conservancy. We were surrounded by animal tracks, plants, and scat that have become very familiar to us over the past two months. Although we only observed one steenbok on the foot patrol it was a great opportunity to talk with local students about themselves and their knowledge about the area. Soon after the foot patrol we moved camp from the conservancy office near the village to a hunting camp located further south on a dry river bed.
The hunting camp provided us with hot showers and a chance to view bird species that we had not yet seen in Namibia. The heat in Ehirovipuka was scorching and we spent afternoons hiding in the shade of a tent. While at the hunting camp we conducted game drives and even a new point count! Jess and I had the chance to help find a new point count location and by the end of the morning we had climbed two hills instead of just one and shared the torture of the Mopane flies as well as many laughs.
After two nights at the hunting camp we again moved farther south to a bush camp in Palmfontein. We formed our tents in a circle underneath tall makalani palms along the banks of a small stream. On arrival at our new campsite we were told that elephants were frequent visitors to this location and their tracks could clearly be seen throughout. It is still hard to believe that we are camping in areas shared by such magnificent wildlife. We finished wildlife monitoring on our second day in Palmfontein and in the afternoon a dust storm engulfed our campsite filling our tents with large amounts of fine sand. Shortly after the dust storm cleared, a small sprinkle of rain briefly graced us with its presence cooling our hot, dry skin. The stream bed and surrounding areas were littered with carcasses of Hartmann's Mountain Zebra, a result of the ongoing two year drought. The drought has had large visible impacts on every aspect of life in Namibia. Plants have become hard to recognize with no leaves, there are starving cattle and wildlife and most people are struggling to sustain their livelihoods.
On Wednesday we departed from Palmfontein and returned to Wereldsend to prepare for community surveys in Torra Conservancy. It always feels strange to come home from the bush to our temporary home in Wereldsend with running water, solar power and sharing a tent with someone else. Wednesday afternoon was spent scrubbing sand out of our clothes and showering before enjoying a pizza for dinner! The pizza was delicious with red peppers, onions, zucchini, tomatoes, garlic and cheese over a red sauce with a crust made from pap (the local cornmeal staple). It was very filling!
That evening each of us was to bring an object to the fire that represented the person we had drawn out of Bekah's hand the previous day. We were not allowed to bring an object that belonged to that person and many of us got very creative! A few of us were food items while others were a deflated soccer ball, a patch of deeply rooted grass, a shiny rock, a walking stick, Party Sue (one of our trucks) and even a turtle from a local folk tale. It was a great way to be reminded of how extraordinary each of us is and how we contribute to the group in many different ways.
On Thursday, Jess and Wyatt prepared us for community surveys in Torra Conservancy that will be used to examine the benefit distribution plan and conservancy member's opinions regarding the plan. These surveys will be used by the conservancy to revise their current plan to better fit the needs of its members. Surveys could begin as early as tomorrow morning and will be conducted in all five blocks of the conservancy.
It is incredibly hard to believe how fast time is passing by us and that in six short weeks many of us will be seated in a crowded airplane destined for the United States. For the rest of us we will begin our next journey in Africa whether it is exploring more of Namibia with our dad, volunteering in Zimbabwe, studying abroad in South Africa or traveling with no concrete plan with our sister. Whatever the next leg of our journey, over the past week we have begun to realize what a crucial support system each of us has become for each other. In six short weeks we will be away from the six people who we have shared indescribable experiences with; experiences that will be difficult to convey to others.
It's difficult to put into words the ever changing beauty of a sunset in Wereldsend, the comforting smell of Mopane wood burning, waking up in the middle of the night to lions roaring in the distance, and seeing the true depth of the night sky for the first time without the invasion of city lights. It is difficult to think of these six individuals just as my friends because truly, we have become more like a family. We have learned each other's strengths, weaknesses and most importantly what makes each of us incredibly special and unique. Round River has blessed us with the opportunity to spend a semester with amazing people that we most likely would never have had the chance to meet. I have no doubt that I will leave Namibia with six new lifelong friends.
"The truth is- as human beings, we are probably much more alike than we are different, and in the areas in which we differ, we can learn a lot from each other." -Unknown
