Multiplier-less reconfigurable architectures for spiking neural networks
PDF version | Permalink
Recent advances in the area of reconfigurable hardware (such as field-programmable gate arrays, FPGAs) have made it possible to implement complex systems in comparatively little time. One of the drawbacks of implementing neural systems on reconfigurable platforms is that the neurons take up much more device area than custom hardware. Thus, the number of spiking neurons that can operate on a single device is restricted. To mitigate this, we propose area-efficient multiplier-less reconfigurable architectures for the large-scale implementation of integrate-and-fire and leaky-integrate-and-fire neurons. The rationale behind this investigation is to develop a compact reconfigurable cell in the context of so-called Liquid State Machines1 to model several distributed columns2 and solve problems such as speech recognition.3
Biological neurons process their information through short pulses called spikes. Here, each spike contributes into the membrane potential by building up synaptic strengths. The most biologically plausible models, such as the Hodgkin-Huxley, are not well suited to hardware implementation as they are expensive in terms of the computational resources required. Therefore, other simplified models, such as integrate and fire (IF) or leaky integrate and fire (LIF),4,5 are generally used instead.
In an IF neuron model, stimuli are integrated over time and a spike is generated if it surpasses a certain threshold. Mathematically, this model can be expressed as:
Multiplication is one of the most common and critical operations in many computational systems and is one of the bottlenecks in implementing large-scale spiking neural networks. Low-cost FPGA devices don't have dedicated multiplier units on chip, while high-end FPGA devices have limited numbers of dedicated multipliers: significantly fewer than the number of neurons that can be implemented. Since the total numbers of embedded multipliers available on a particular device are limited, the maximum number of synapses will be restricted to the maximum number of embedded multipliers. In case of large networks, therefore, available logic has to be exploited to implement multipliers, seriously restricting the maximum number of synapses and neurons that can be implemented on a target device.
Figure 1.
The proposed approach to the implementation of spiking neurons uses a scheme where multipliers are replaced with spike counters. The weight vector for each synaptic connection can be modified: in this case, where learning is done off-line, they can be considered constant. An accumulator is used in order to accumulate incoming synaptic values for membrane potential. As shown in Figure 1, spikes are produced by the spike generator and the total strength of the synapse is determined by the synaptic weight: once the desired synaptic strength is achieved, an excitatory output pulse is generated (for an excitatory synapse). This is very flexible in that both single and multiple spikes can be calculated. The neuron's membrane is modeled using a simple accumulator and a comparator. An output spike is generated if the potential exceeds a threshold value and the spike is then transmitted to other neurons in the network. This makes it feasible to implement large numbers of relatively simple spiking neurons.6 The proposed model is composed of two sub-units: the synapse and soma membrane. The synapse model is shown at the top of Figure 1 and the soma (neuron) at the bottom. The hardware simulations are shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2.
Perfect integrator neuron models such as integrate-and-fire are less biologically plausible than others because they do not include a leakage current that makes the neuron return to its resting potential in the absence of a stimulus. The leakage property is important for learning which exhibits a phenomenon of short-term memory.4,7 In LIF neurons, the membrane potential increases with the excitatory incoming synapses and—in the absence of pre-synaptic spikes—the membrane potential decays and the model becomes a simple homogenous first-order differential equation. The solution to this equation can be expressed as:4. The reconfigurable architectures to emulate the behavior of IF and LIF neuron models are shown in figure 3.
Figure 3.
Figure 4.
The design was synthesised with the Xilinx ISE design suite, implemented on Virtex II Pro device (xc2vp50), and its resource requirements were calculated. In a linear comparison, almost 2×103 synapses and 1.2×103 neurons can be implemented with the proposed architecture. By using state-of-the-art device such as Virtex-5, which has 331,775 logic cells and 51,840 slices, can fit almost 4.3×103 synapses and 2.5×103 fully parallel neurons. The proposed design has successfully been used for a speech recognition application in the context of Liquid State Machines and the next step is to model multiple cortical columns for multiple input classifications (sensory fusion).

About MeI'm a freelance photographer based out of Las Cruces, NM. I routinely travel around the southwestern US for both work and pleasure, so I'm always looking to make bookings anywhere nearby. I'm routinely complimented on my ability to make others feel at home in front of the camera, so don't hesitate to let me know if you need a shoot done. I cover events, take on projects in model promotions and more family friendly pictures, as well as glamour, swimwear, implied nudes, and fine art photography.
At a young age, encouraged by my father, I began to develop an appreciation for photography. Over the years since then, I've only honed my appreciation for suspended moments. My favorite shoots are ones that involve people (I'm definitely a 'people person'). With that being said, I take a camera with me everywhere I go, just in case a fantastic shot comes along.
I see photography as a way to display my imagination, a truly free form of artistic expression. Not only is it a way to capture specific moments, my photography is a tool to help others gain self-esteem and publicity, without the pressure and charge of going to a professional photographer.
The bottom line is that I want to let my passion go from more than just a pastime, to make it a lifestyle while learning all I can and having fun the whole time.
Schedule a shoot TODAY! :)

This article is about the numerous myth surrounding the creation of the entire world, for the creation of origin story of a specific place, go to the article about the place itself.
Creation as according to people of Akar (Akre and Akri and Tennah) which then adopted by people of Matahari
There was a god named Deotio who created the world and the sky but there is no sea. He also created the first tree called Asimudi. The flowers of Asimudi fly all over the world and sprang into many different plants. Then he created two beings to control the world, Yi and Ya. At last he created Nede, a place for himself and stays there. But Yi and Ya always fight against one another because both of them are thirsty as there is no water. So Deotio put his entire mind into a tree and all of his breath into another tree in the middle of Nede and created guardian of the place. He came back to the world he created and sacrifice himself, his flesh become the continent and his blood become the sea and many little spirit spring out from his flesh and blood but his spirits reside in Nede. Yi and Ya, thirsty no more, have many children. Their first children are the magical beast, and then the animal, wild and tame, the last one was a twin of man and woman. That is why priest and priestess do not kill animal because they are out elder brothers. Yi and Ya love the human because they are smallest and weakest, so they granted the human a mind and language. Yi taught them how to find clean water, how to know which fruit to eat and how to plant them, Ya taught them how to create fire, how to create weapon to protect themself, how to find fertile soil to plant. But Yi and Ya do not want to spoil their children, so they ascend to the sky to look them from far away and become moon and sun.

How I see it, the components should be configured out of the sitemap, but cocoon.xconf is not the best solution for this.

sc: 'Parking fee for Bluffers Park irks resident,' News, Aug. 6
Rudy Leck is not the only Scarborough resident who is disgusted by the parking fee at Bluffers Park. The other day I took a visiting relative to Bluffers to check out the park, and was shocked to see the weekday parking fee.
Needless to say, we drove through the parking lot and out, and later spent a lovely half-hour in Rosetta McLain Park, just a bit further west, where we did not have to pay.
I remember the "old days" when it was really hard for us to get to the Scarborough Bluffs, but we managed to go anyway; and I remember watching the dump trucks carrying landfill to make the park, when my father told me how happy he was that the area would be accessible to all of us. And when it opened, Bluffers Park was accessible to all of us who had really strong legs, or a decent car, at least.
Then there was a parking fee for weekends, which I could understand, as the park was a very popular place for families to visit on a summer Saturday or Sunday.
But it was surprising to see that there is a parking fee on weekdays. I was not very happy, and I guess that a lot of other people were not happy, as there were very few cars in the two parking lots.

So my three year old has been fully potty trained two months before she turned two. Now she has gone in her dipper at night for the past few months should I stop buying them and see what happens what would you all do?
Hi Jennifer, I would purchase some to have as backup until the night time going stops.
Maybey buy a small pack of diapers forf back up
We too use what we call a pee pad! LOL! I have provided the link to one like I bought below (I only paid like 12.00 each though)... I bought two so in case there was an accident I could change them out quickly in the middle of the night . Instead of putting it saddle style like in the picture I put it the length of the bed to protect everything. These have worked very well for us (of course we have a waterproof matress pad underneath the sheets to for added protection.
I really like this type of pad because it travels well too!

Hit movies don't just fade to black
By Scott Bowles, USA TODAY
When he was shooting Men in Black in 1997, Barry
Sonnenfeld wasn't considering a sequel, let alone a franchise. "I just wanted
to make my film," the director says. "I didn't think that far ahead. I like
to shoot my movies and let the studios worry about the rest." Days after the
film's jaw-dropping $84 million debut, Columbia Pictures executives launched
plans to further the adventures of secret government agents Will Smith and Tommy
Lee Jones. Problem was, Smith had reached superstar status with Independence
Day before MIB was released. Jones had moved on to U.S.
Marshals and Double Jeopardy. There was nothing lined up for another
film no script, no stars, no contracts. Instead of the typical one-to-two-year
turnaround for a sequel, five years passed before MIB II, which hits
screens Wednesday, was completed.
The film is not only expected to be
one of the summer's blockbusters, it also has become a cautionary tale for franchise-happy
Hollywood, where familiarity reigns, especially in the summer months.
Franchising is nothing new to Hollywood. Studios have been
cranking out sequels and serials since the '30s, when such heroes as The Masked
Marvel and Spy Smasher hit matinee screens Saturdays with gun battles and hairbreadth
escapes. Star Wars and Indiana Jones were inspired by the series
and helped keep their spirit alive. In the past few years, franchising has been
made into a science.

Walter Parkes, who produced the MIB films, says
that today's competition for viewer attention makes franchising necessary. "There
are so many entertainment options video games, cable, satellite, live
events. It all adds up to an enormous amount of noise. It's hard to get your
message through."
Few "event" pictures are made today without sequels in
mind or already in the works, and many lower-profile films wind up exploring
sequels after even limited success. (Think Desperado, which grossed barely
$25 million.) No fewer than 21 sequels will hit screens this year, the most
in a decade. And more than 10 newcomers, including Scooby-Doo and The
Bourne Identity, are positioned to have at least one more installment.
The trend has changed the way studios do business, from
plot twists to which stars get plum roles to when audiences get to see the finished
First the story, then the push
Studios pounce on new releases that do well, but they
also are on the lookout for tales in any genre with the potential
to expand story lines. Nickelodeon is tapping the popular kids book series Lemony
Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events (which Sonnenfeld will direct),
while Artisan has bought the rights to Marvel comic books The Punisher
and Iron Fist in search of the next great franchise.
Many look to their own catalogues: MGM is reviving the
Pink Panther series, while Columbia dusts off I Dream of Jeannie
and DreamWorks works on a new Billy Jack. Universal continues to unwrap
The Mummy, which began as a 1932 Universal movie of the same name; the
studio is discussing Scorpion King 2, which would be a sequel to the
prequel of a sequel of a remake. Artisan is working on a remake of Dirty
Dancing, while Miramax, once known for its art-house gems, is hoping remakes
of Seven Samurai and The Green Hornet have franchise potential.
Studios are weighing more factors than ever before backing
big films, such as product placement and marketing possibilities. Warner Bros.
launched Scooby-Doo, for example, when its consumer-products division
determined that the movie would bring in an additional $30 million in profits
from coloring books and stuffed animals.
Executives concede the approach has eliminated much of
the risk-taking in moviemaking.
"We're being more conservative," says Artisan CEO Amir
Malin. "It costs $50 million to market a major film, so there's pressure on
all CEOs to place safer bets. I believe all good films can rise to the top,
but unfortunately, there's less room in the marketplace for unique, original
One hit could signal another
There's also less room in the marketplace for patience.
It's no longer unusual for studios to move on to the sequel before the first
film even opens. Some get the franchise treatment from the script stage; others
get the go-ahead further along in the process.
"More and more sequels are coming out within a year of
each other," says Paul Callahan, author of The Hard Hollywood Sell, which
examines the industry's marketing techniques. "Studios are afraid of letting
something hot go cold."
Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings opened
last year with future installments already on the calendar, Nov. 15 and Dec.
18, respectively. Third installments are expected in the same month as their
predecessors, Rings in 2003 and Potter in 2004. Spider-Man
has its sequel date set, too: May 7, 2004.
XXX, the story of an extreme-sports athlete turned
government agent, starring Vin Diesel, comes out Aug. 9. Script work on XXX2
began last month after the Hollywood media deemed Diesel the action hero of
his generation.
Studios also go for package deals to keep the films flowing.
Key talent is typically contractually obligated to more installments, with ever-bigger
payoffs as the franchises mature. Tobey Maguire couldn't don the Spider-Man
suit until he agreed to web-sling for two sequels. He received $4 million for
the first film but will make a reported $26 million for the next two installments.
And, to keep costs down, studios are filming several installments
together. Matrix sequels are being filmed simultaneously and will be
released next year. Rings director Peter Jackson filmed the trilogy in
one fell swoop.
"It keeps the actors together and in character," he says.
"It helps the flow." It also means Jackson didn't have to pay the production
costs of three separate films or renegotiate contracts after Rings' $311
million domestic performance.
The five-year gap between MIB films is almost unheard
of today, although Bad Boys 2 will have an eight-year lag by the time
it's out next year. Callahan says, "Since sequels now typically do better than
the originals, anything more than a two-year wait is unacceptable."
But Sonnenfeld says MIB II hasn't suffered because
of the delay.
In fact, "I think it helped build up an interest and desire
for the next movie," he says. "If we do another Men in Black, I wouldn't
mind waiting another five years."
Dangling plot points helpful
That thinking violates a tenet of franchising: Give the
audiences something they know, and give it to them often.
Another is to leave a few plotlines unresolved, opening
the door to new episodes. Peter Parker's best friend vows vengeance on the superhero
at the conclusion of Spider-Man. Frodo Baggins is just beginning his
perilous trek in Lord of the Rings. Harry Potter has hardly mastered
his mystical potential.
Studios are loath to put their heroes through life-altering
events nowadays. "If we had known we were doing a sequel, I don't think we would
have erased Tommy's memory" in MIB, Sonnenfeld says. "Studios don't like
to take that big of a plot risk in a franchise."
Another franchise hook is to give smaller characters from
previous films meatier roles in the sequels.
He got two minutes in Attack of the Clones, but
Jimmy Smits will emerge as a prominent player in the next Star Wars.
Betty Brant (played by Elizabeth Banks), a secretary at the Daily Bugle,
got only a small role in Spider-Man but, if the movie follows the comic-book
plot, she could get a sizable part in the sequel. In MIB II, the popular
alien pug Frank gets a starring turn.
Enlarging bit characters helps continue a story arc, but
it also can help the home entertainment market, says video industry analyst
Tom Keating. "People will buy the original movie just to spot the characters
for the next episode," he says. "It's one way to spot the stars of the future."
Who makes the cut
And franchise stars are becoming ever younger. Harrison
Ford was 35 when he played Han Solo in Star Wars. Today, that's ancient.
"Studios want someone who is somewhat established, but
young enough to take a smaller paycheck at first and stick with the franchise
for a few installments," says Robert Bucksbaum, president of box office tracker
Reel Source Inc.
Witness Ben Affleck, 29, as Jack Ryan in The Sum of
All Fears; Matt Damon, 31, as Jason Bourne in The Bourne Identity;
and Eric Bana, 33, as Bruce Banner in The Hulk.
Such strategies don't always work out.
The death count in last year's The Fast and the Furious
was intentionally kept low in the hopes of bringing back its major stars, particularly
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. But following the $145 million success of Furious,
Diesel left for vacation and told his agent not to reach him for another film
until a studio was willing to pay $10 million. Negotiations with Universal fell
through, and hopes for the sequel now ride on Walker's shoulders.
The industry's fixation with franchising perplexes some
critics. "One of the biggest hits of last year was Shrek," says film
critic and historian Leonard Maltin. "It wasn't a remake or an imitation, and
people loved it." (Of course, Shrek 2 is on the way.)
Hollywood isn't trying to please critics; it's trying to
be a hit with Wall Street. In an era of conglomerates, the franchise is big
because it can mean big money, from toys to fast food tie-ins to home video
and DVD releases.
"Studios are a lot less interested in innovative filmmakers
because it's harder to turn their movies into consumer-friendly products," says
author Callahan. "Directors are afraid to use the word 'drama' because it usually
gets the door slammed in their faces."
Some argue the tenor of filmmaking is hardly that bleak.
"A movie isn't bad because it's part of a franchise," says
Arthur Sarkissian, producer of the Rush Hour films. "A movie is bad if
it didn't create memorable characters. If you've created characters that people
have fallen in love with, you should bring them back."
Laurie MacDonald, another MIB producer, acknowledges
that franchise fever could burn itself out.
"This is a going to be an ugly next couple of years, I
fear," MacDonald says. "There are going to be far too many sequels. The audience
is going to get mad, and they'll stop doing it. There are ideas that are ripe
and very valid for sequels, and there are those that aren't."
Sonnenfeld strongly agrees.
"If you're telling the same story in a new location or
with a few new wrinkles, then you shouldn't be making the sequel," he says.
"You shouldn't be following the same old formula or you'll wear your welcome
Sonnenfeld hints that there could be a third installment
of MIB, but he issues a warning to viewers, even if he directs the next
one: "If Men in Black III is about the Earth being threatened by aliens,
you shouldn't go see the movie."

"We are repping a lot of the kids that are redshirt guys that were on the scout team, so they get a chance to run some reps running our stuff and that's a good thing," defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel said.
"We try to let some of the older guys heal up a little bit and get some young guys some reps. You get 14 or 15 practices or whatever it is and then we get back in March and get them again."
The practices benefit those younger players because it gives them a closer look at what they will consistently see next season.
"A lot of the younger kids, it is the first time they have heard our terminology and they are still not in some of the meetings, but they are doing a good job getting reps and running around and trying to make some plays," Casteel said.
Arizona's defense was better this season, but it still is not at the point that Casteel would like to see it reach.
"We made some improvement, but we are still working and in progress," he said. "We are a little bit better than what we were last year, but we have to continue to improve. Our effort has to improve and at times we're just not consistent enough.
"We have to become a much more consistent defense. We have to continue to rep them where they are comfortable playing full speed. We still have some depth issues, so some of the older guys may get run down and it makes it tough on them, but we are making some strides."
There is one more challenge for the defense this season, as it will face a Boston College team that has one of the best running backs in the country.
"They are very similar to Stanford in the way that they attack people," Casteel said. "Multiple tight ends, linemen, 230-pound back running the gap scheme stuff. They are very good at attacking both sides of the line of scrimmage and they have a good play action game.
"I think they found their stride the last four, five, six weeks of the season by getting into those big sets and pounding people and putting people in conflict with the play action game. It is going to be a challenge and we have not seen that type of offense this year because we didn't play Stanford.
"I don't know if we've seen anybody like him (Williams). He is a big, strong kid with good speed and he squares his shoulders and puts out punishment on guys, especially when he gets down through the line of scrimmage. If you don't get to him and slow him down, he is a bull coming through there."

Det låg väldigt avsides. Långt till stranden och affärer. Hotellet kändes otryggt, man kunde gå in utan att gå genom receptionen. Stökigt på hotellet polisen där flera gånger under tiden vi var där. Möblerna var smutsiga och slitna.
Läget Oengagerad personal
Rummet var stort och städat. Personalen hjälpsam att beställa hämtamat till rummet och tog hand om min handväska jag glömde vid frukosten. Lokalbusshållplats nära. Ser ofta vakt och sheriffen som behöver ingripa mot stökiga personer på hotellet. Otäckt att gå själv till rummet på kvällen när trappan blockeras av personer som röker hasch. Hotellets läget fodrar egen bil eller att man beställer taxi för att ta sig till stranden,affärer och få i sig ett mål mat, borde ha stått i hotellinformationen eftersom det inte fanns annat än hämtmat att få på hotellet att äta. Tåget som tutar var störande.
Bredvid järnvägsövergång, tågen tutar 3 ggr. vid varje passering. Dåligt fungerande airconditioner, fuktiga rum , mögliga heltäckningsmattor. Jag rekomenderar inte detta hotell till någon.
personalen var trevlig, rummet var okej, det var fint vid poolen det var stökigt på hotellet, polis och väktare var där nästan varje kväll, det kändes som ett osäkert område. Det var längre till stranden än förväntat
Good access to/from highway. I don't want you to waste your time for reading my review (what I did not like), I'll make it short: SIMPLY DO NOT GO THERE. I definitely will not do it again and will not recommend to others.
Friendly staff Cockroaches in the rooms
Was mediocre Was dirty and smell very bad
Convenient for our pre-cruise stay with complimentary airport pick up and port drop off (we just missed the changed in port drop off fee by one day). Got the room in the back so there was no problem with noises. Staff is very friendly.
The price was VERY cheap via Kayak.com Although the shuttle driver for the airport PREACHED that he was ALWAYS on time and NEVER ran late and would leave hotel guests at the hotel if they weren't on time to board, he himself was late in picking us back up from the airport upon our return. We waited for 1 hour for him to show up after we called the hotel and they initially said that he was already on his way; which, apparently, he was not since the drive was only 13 minutes long. We were just about to hire a taxi when he finally showed up with a woman in the passenger seat that was NOT an employee! Our opinion is that he was occupied doing something else with this woman when he should have been working.
Poor customer service. They were rude. Had to wait over an hour for the bus. No breakfast. Terrible service all round. The towels were like rock. This is the worst days Inn I've been to. You'll letting other days Inn look bad. I've been to a lot of days inn. This is the worst.
pretty much everything no complaint at this time
Location; next to expressway. Roaches and bathroom; not close to airport; right next to train tracks.
The shuttle driver that took us to the airport. The room smelled like cigarettes and smoke and it was muggy. We turned on the A/C and it made the smell worse. The bathroom was small and had tiles missing which looked like a bug or small rodent could crawl through the hole at any time. There were no food options close so we had to order out.The vending machine on the 1st level was not working properly, and the sound of the train got to be annoying.
Bed was made in a timely manner, as well with fresh towels and other house keeping everyday, even if I was just fine 3 hrs. Bed was comfy and A/C was ice cold. Great hot water pressure. Good cable Channel selection. Free WiFi. Clean pool area. Tiff also recommended some nightlife since I'm from Cali and it's my 1st time. GREAT VALUE. 7miles from the beach. Less than 1/4 mile to dennys There is a train track right next to it. It didnt bother me, but some people complain. It's appx every 6 hrs and they only ring the alarm once passing the tracks, it's not bad. I think the sink leaked, bcuz the floor was wet each day, I'm not sure if it was the humidity though since I tried to keep my room so cold. House keeping didn't replace regular coffee too often, only decaf. Ice machine spit out about 10 ice cubes on 4th floor, didn't try other floors.
It is one of those alum place where you can get a room for 4hours just to have sex.
Filthy bed sheets upon arrival, replacement bed sheets were bloody and stained gross, filthy stained carpets, cockroaches everywhere, staff and housekeeping inattentive, didn't care. curtains stained and gross, door and furnishings worn, stained, hadn't been cleaned in ages if ever! Illicit activity (drugs/prostitution) in far end parking lot friday night of stay, not enough parking friday night of stay with criminal activity in far end parking lot. Presented problems and photos of experience to management at checkout, oh well, I guess this is how this Days Inn Dump is run, Shockingly BAD! I have stayed at Days Inn all over USA, ALWAYS GREAT, NOT this place!
The cleanliness was amazing! Everything smelled fresh and clean everywhere we went... The breakfast was also great, as it included hot foods as well as the continental breakfast. Totally satisfied! The shower could have better water pressure, but everything was great!
There was not a close by CVS or Walgreens

I stayed there June 2th to 4th.Hotel Employee was very profecional. When I got to my room it was very clean. MY FAVORITE THINGS WAS BREAKFAST FOR ME AND I DID NOT HAVE TO TRAVEL TO GO LOOK FOR FOOD. PLEASE KEEP ON DOING EXCELENT WORK. I WILL COME BACK AGA I love everything about this hotel, outstanding WORK. I AM TRYING TO FIND THE SAME HOTEL IN SARASOTA CLOSE TO BEACH FOR NEXT WEEK. HOPEFULLY, I WILL FIND THE SAME HOLIDAY INN WITH BREAKFAST TO STAY FOR 3 DAYS.
Spaciou Unclean, poor bathroom setup
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The room was nice and clean. The first day we had no hot water. For showering. Very unpleasant considering I had to wash in cold water . I asked the front desk for a refund for the inconvenience but no response.
Everything was a nice smooth process. It was more expensive than it should have been. Bathroom was a bit out dated.
The hotel had cookies until Thursday. The hotel had laundry facilities for the guests. We almost got scolded in the shower...we asked that something be done about it, but nothing was done to fix the problem. The pool is located along a very busy, noisy road. The room was not done until very late afternoon twice...need more cleaning staff.
the breakfast is very good. hard to find the entrance to the hotel at night. you have to go to a side street to get into the drive way. . .poorly lighted entrance too.
The wonderful lavish breakfast.the courteous staff.All the amenities promised on booking were provided. Above all ver hi fi locality location. Love to go again n again. Everything was good ! There was nothing to dislike !
The staff was very friendly, food was terrific, and the beds were comfortable. The hotel was really nice with a friendly staff. Breakfast was amazing and very filling. We only had two problems, first one out of two rooms had to move 3 tines because their were roaches in the room. Second, they overcharged us and didn't understand what we were saying and it is taking a long time to reimburse me.
Room was nice clean, halls smelled good, breakfast in the morning was good simple but good over all I recommend this place to anybody make sure you register all cars with the front desk saw tow truck in the lot twice!!

Here are some suggestions to help you cope:
* Use a pillow between your legs when sleeping; body pillows work great
* Keep your legs and hips as parallel as possible when moving or turning in bed
* Swimming helps to relieve pressure
* Keep your legs close together and move symmetrically when sitting/standing
* When standing, keep your weight evenly distributed through both legs
* Sit down to get dressed, especially when putting on underwear or pants
* Avoid 'straddle' movements
* Swing your legs together as a unit when getting in and out of cars
* If sex is uncomfortable for you, use lots of pillows under your knees, or try other positions
* If bending over to pick up objects is difficult, there are devices available that can help with this
* Listen to your body, if it hurts, you need to STOP

TOP model Alexandra Agoston has arrived home in Sydney for a quick visit before her controversial debut on the Myer catwalk tomorrow night.
The store's decision to cast Agoston in its autumn/winter parade is a victory in the tit-for-tat game with rival David Jones.
Miranda draws Sydney's social set for DJ's launch
Until November, Agoston was an exclusive talent for David Jones's runway shows, having modelled in about 10 parades since 2010.
Myer spokesman Steve Carey says it's not about payback. "It wasn't part of the decision process for us, she is the right look for our campaign, and is wonderful to work with," he said.
She replaces gap-toothed model Jessica Hart to walk with ambassadors Jennifer Hawkins and Kris Smith. Both Myer and David Jones tried to play down the model's sudden move.
Myer dropped an injunction to stop fashion label Ellery, which was formerly exclusive to Myer, showing at the DJs collection launch this month.
Before heading to Sydney, Agoston wrapped up jobs in New York with V magazine and Italian Vogue. Madison magazine was first to snap the glamazon back home yesterday for its ovarian cancer shoot with Witchery. "Myer came to me and asked me to join the parade. It's nice to work with local brands," she said.
David Jones group executive marketing and financial services Sacha Laing says there are no hard feelings: "We have worked with Alexandra in the past but she has not been, nor has she ever been, an ambassador."
Myer will erect a traditional catwalk this season with fewer front-row seats available for media, designers and celebrities.
"It's going to be a challenge," Carey said.

Hi, If is a very difficult decision to quit a good job and pursue higher studies. Analyse your present position and see if you are getting stagnated in your job. Ask yourself if you still have the fire to pursue Higher Studies. Ask your friends who have gone abroad about the scope for someone like you.
But I meet every day several students and 8 out of 10 have good jobs but have a dying desire to pursue higher studies or they are fed up with their present job. Some of them are doing jobs not related to their education and wanted to pursue Higher studies in their core areas.
Some have bigger ambitions of making to the Top management and break jobs to seek MBA's abroad.
My advice will be to seek a Country which is quite easy on foreign students and still gives jobs visas like US, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Netherlands, Singapore, etc where there are ample jobs and PR opportunities for Indian students. Seek the right program and the right University which matches your profile and then take a call. A good and Experienced Education Advisor will be of great help to you in advising you about options abroad.
All the best.

Ecolab and Nalco Again Named Among Best Companies to Sell For
Ecolab and Nalco, which merged on December 1, have both been named to Selling Power magazine's annual list of "The 50 Best Companies to Sell For." Nalco was fourth on the list while Ecolab was eighth. It was Ecolab's eighth consecutive year and Nalco's fourth consecutive year on the "Best Companies to Sell For" list.
"We are pleased that both companies' sales organizations were honored," said Douglas M. Baker, Jr., Ecolab chairman and chief executive officer. "Our sales and service teams are the key to our success as they continually work to build strong customer relationships and deliver exceptional value and sustainable solutions for our customers."
The merger of Ecolab and Nalco joined Ecolab's more than 7,300 U.S. sales and service employees—the seventh-largest sales force of the manufacturing companies Selling Power rated—with Nalco's more than 5,500 sales and service employees in the U.S., the ninth-largest sales force of the manufacturing companies Selling Power rated. The combined company now has a global sales and service team of 22,000 representatives.
Baker concluded, saying, "Uniting these outstanding sales and service teams has enabled us to continue to provide our customers with superior service and solutions, and provides a more powerful growth engine for our business. Our nearly identical sales and service approaches reinforce our core strengths and competitive advantages, and we will make investments to further strengthen and enhance our sales and service capacities."
Companies that made Selling Power magazine's "Best Companies to Sell For" list ranked highest based on compensation, training and career mobility in two general industry classifications: manufacturing and service. The complete list and information on the ranking process is available in the November/December 2011 issue of Selling Power or at www.sellingpower.com.

- "Greetings, friend. There's been a bounty posted on you, and I'm here to collect. Thankfully, it's a live-capture only, so we can still be friends about it..."
- ―Trak Nar taking bounties; no muss, no fuss
Trak Nar was a not-quite-whole Rodian male who was one of the best bounty hunters of his species due to the simple expedient of not getting himself killed on his first few jobs. This made him the envy of certain other Rodians, most notably Greedo's surviving family. After the end of the Galactic Civil War, he began conducting hunting work across the galaxy, including within the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant, only accepting live-capture bounties due to his aversion to killing (something else which set him apart from other Rodians). Trak Nar stayed as far away as he could from anything having to do with the Sith, and most especially their more serious antics.
Early lifeEdit
- "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty!"
- ―Trak calls his cats
His mom and dad met in the usual way. The song was love, and love became the egg—whoops, wrong movie. Trak Nar was born, like most of his kind, on Rodia, where he spent an idyllic, Disney-esque childhood playing with the family cats, while learning the finer points of Rodian bounty-hunting culture and art. His grades were, however, mediocre, as he did not display the bloodthirstiness that was expected of hunters. Because of this, he was
LOL DENIED forbidden to leave the planet to make his fortune among the stars.
Travels abroadEdit
- Smuggler: "I'm not having those fuzzy things on my ship, mister!"
- Trak Nar: "But you let your Wookiee co-pilot aboard..."
Smuggler: "Good point..."
- — Trak Nar escapes his homeworld
Despondent over being stuck on this jungle-covered dirtball full of green-skinned psychotics, Trak Nar resorted to extreme measures to escape to some semblance of civilization. His first attempt nearly killed him; attempting to pull a Han Solo maneuver, he had stowed away aboard a robotic freighter bound for Coruscant. Just after realizing that the auto-
botship had no life support, the pilot-droid noticed him, kicking him off somewhat roughly. Eventually, he was able to accumulate enough credits to bribe a smuggler to take him and his three cats, Greedo, Zuckuss, and Han, to Tatooine. Once there, he was able to make a modest living by finding lost pets and droids, though his minor success in the latter caused some friction between him and the local Jawa clan. Just before a squad of them were able to corner Trak Nar in order to beat the shit out of him, the Rodian accidentally saved a stormtrooper officer's life by causing an insane Ithorian, who was gunning for the Imperial, to trip and lose his blaster.
The officer took pity on poor Trak Nar, frightening off the squeaky, robed hit squad and taking him back to the Galactic Empire, which by then was now at peace with the New Republic. His first commissions, which involved yet more hunts for lost pets and droids, took Trak Nar across the galaxy and occasionally into the Unknown Regions, making an abrupt—and very short—contact with the Chiss, who were not impressed by the Rodian's antics. On his way back to Imperial space, Trak Nar's ship was ambushed by pirates; though he managed to escape, he had been grievously wounded in the skirmish, so that by the time he reached Yaga Minor, Trak Nar needed reconstructive surgery. The Empire being the Empire, they didn't go for the straight same-species patch job as they would have for a Human, so the hapless Rodian was given specially-tailored organic replacement organs as well as cybernetic enhancements. Though the idea looked good on paper, what resulted was a Frankenstien's monster of a screw-up, which I don't have the stomach to fully articulate. More depressed than ever over what had been done to him, Trak Nar left the Empire, setting up shop, finally, on Coruscant. Unfortunately, his quarters were too small, and he had to give away two of his precious cats, Greedo and Zuckuss.
Return of the cats and further adventuresEdit
- "♫ Iiiiiiiiiiii'm so sad and loooooooooon-ley, sad and lonely, sad and lonely, sad and lonely... ♫"
- ―Trak Nar's lament
The cats' new owners, however (a Jedi Padawan and a starfighter pilot), realized that they couldn't keep their new pets, so they were foisted back on the luckless Trak Nar. It was at that point that he began popping anti-depressants like candy, going into a downward spiral of depression. This was not helped by the erstwhile friendship of Darth Panda who, upon learning that the hunter had an aptitude for holo-art, begged him to churn out copious amounts of Twi'lek pornography. Eventually, after managing to ditch the giant sloth, Trak Nar happened to meet Mara Jade. If you can't guess what happened next, the joke's on you...
So yeah, Trak Nar now has a new job and new opportunities. As head of the "Lost and Found" department of the Jedi Temple, he is responsible for making sure that all the nice little Padawans, Knights, and Masters are able to keep track of their possessions, even if "attachment" is supposed to be forbidden—oh, wait, that was the old Jedi Order. He also serves as a living teaching aid for young students on how not to judge outward appearances. Oh yeah, and he's able to keep all three of his furry friends.
Personality and traitsEdit
- "Why is everybody always pickin' on me?"
- ―Trak Nar
Though a hunter by nature, like the rest of his species, Trak Nar was more amiable toward whatever it was that he was looking for, be it a lost doggie, a wayward starship, or even non-violent criminals, which he always befriended before bringing them in. This was merely a facade, however; due to his placid nature, Trak Nar was ostracized by his fellow Rodians, who called him mean names and made snide insinuations and disingenuous assertions about his parentage. This left him miserable for most of his life, despite the fact that he still managed to live longer than most of his kind. His mutilation at the erstwhile helping hand of the Empire only made this worse, and it wasn't until Trak Nar had his first intimate encounter with the Jedi that his cloud finally got a sliver lining.
Trak Nar also required somewhat more sophistication in his entertainments. A piece of tape would, sadly, be insufficient to fulfill his needs.

When your Mercury Caliente was born, it was destined for a driver who wants long-lasting quality in their automobile. It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Water Pump to fix your automobile. Obviously, you bought your Caliente because you understood you would be getting strength and a dash of luxury both impeccably combined into one automobile. While it's not hard to find replacement parts for Mercury vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to repair your automobile.
Your Mercury Caliente uses liquid coolant to maintain a constant temperature in the engine, and if there were a heart in that motor it would be the water pump. It turns along with the crankshaft via a belt that connects pulleys on each part. Along with the radiator, thermostat, and a system of hoses and cooling pipes, your Mercury Caliente water pump reliably injects and spreads the water and ethylene glycol mixture throughout hoses and passages in the engine block and cylinder head; keeping operating temperatures down below the boiling point. If it fails, then the coolant temperature will soar and your engine block or cylinder head will crack.
When your Mercury needs a top quality replacement Water Pump, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Ordering new Mercury parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement Caliente parts on the internet. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents available with enough expertise to help you select the correct Mercury Caliente part for your project or repair. All the Mercury Caliente Water Pump parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1967, 1966, 1965, 1964. Choose your year below to refine your search.

London (AFP) April 02, 2014
The vast earthquake in Chile sent copper prices jumping to a three-week peak on Wednesday, as traders worried about possible supply problems in the top global producer.
At 1230 GMT, copper rallied to $6,734 per tonne, striking the highest point since March 10.
"Copper has hit a three-week high as an enormous earthquake off the coast of Chile as sparked fears of a tsunami," said IG analyst David Madden.
"Traders are concerned that copper supplies will suffer following the natural disaster."
Chile is the biggest copper producer in the world and accounts for almost one-third of global supplies.
Analysts noted however that no earthquake damage to copper facilities had been reported.
"The copper price climbed temporarily to a three-week high of over $6,700 per tonne after a severe earthquake occurred off the coast of Chile overnight, giving rise to concerns about supply outages," noted Commerzbank analyst Carsten Fritsch.
"So far, however, there have been no reports of any damage, and some mining companies have already sounded the all-clear."
Copper has experienced volatile trading so far this year, diving last month on demand worries in top global consumer China.
The market had plunged in March to the lowest level for three and a half years on fears about the impact of that China's economic slowdown.
The base metal had dived on March 19 to $6,321 per tonne, which was the lowest point since July 2010.
Meanwhile on Wednesday, the London-based International Copper Study Group (ICSG) forecast that global copper supply would exceed demand in both 2014 and 2015, after three years of deficits.
"World production of refined copper is expected to exceed demand for refined copper by about 400,000 tonnes, as demand will lag behind the growth in production," the ICSG forum said in a report issued after its spring meeting in Lisbon.
"For 2015, although growth in usage is anticipated to continue, another surplus could occur owing to an increase in refined output that exceeds the expected growth in usage."

Hillary Rodham Clinton, in her first public appearance after the Monica Lewinsky scandal hit the news-stands, referred to what she described as a "vast right-wing conspiracy" against herself and President Clinton. Many believe that she was referring not only to Kenneth Starr's agenda, but also that of Pittsburgh billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife.
Scaiffe has funneled as much as $600,000 a year to a secretive project known as the "Arkansas Project." An article in this week's New York Observer claims that money from the project was used to pay former F.B.I. agents and private detectives to unearth negative material on the Clinton's and their associates.
