- Customer ReviewsGreat
Really like this, the pot it comes in is super discreet. The masturbator looks so small but it stretches and is really good. The texture is amazing- definitely does the job. The quality feels much better than other small masturbators on the market and I think this will last me a long time and provide a lot of enjoyment. Good things come in small packages!Review by: DaveGood For On The Move
This masturbator is very similar to a Tenga egg but more cost effective. Just like the Tenga egg this masturbator is very inconspicuous and if anyone found it they wouldnt know what it was at first which makes it perfect for travel and taking it on holiday. This toy has abit of stretch so with some lube I got it on no problem but unlike the Tenga egg it does not have enough stretch to pull it down your shaft so this toy would be better suited to someone who enjoys stimulation on the head of their penis but who isnt looking to use this in a traditional up and down stroking movement that you do with a most masturbator. I prefer more conventional masturbators so sadly this item wasn't for me.Review by: John

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
All the staff were exceptionally polite and helpful, especially the staff at reception, and the restaurant was of a good standard.
We absolutely loved this hotel! It has lots of Provencial charm and our room was very pretty and spacious. It is the perfect place to stay in Provence if you don't want to be with all the crowds in Avignon center. It is about a 10 minute drive to Avignon and easy access to other areas of the Luberon region. There are no restaraunts nearby so you will need a car for sure. The hotel has wonderful food but is pricey. It has a great outdoor pool, indoor pool with spa, very lush landscaping and beautiful patios. Very attentive service and wonderful personel.
The friendliness of the staff and the food was fantastic Need a map to get there!!!
The staff were very attentive and polite. The layout and facilities in the hotel were lovely and there was a lot of attention to detail. Lovely scented rooms.
We knew this hotel from a previous stay 10 years ago, it was nice to find out that it still matched our expectations. The restaurant as good as ever.
Relaxing, clean and friendly Too expensive by far and poor location
The hotel doesn't look like much from the outside, but once through the doors a large, beautiful courtyard (very well maintained) appears. Nice pool area, and well appointed spa area. Fantastic meal at the restaurant. Very friendly staff. The location is a little "off the beaten path", and you need a car to get anywhere. Overall, a little pricey (both room rate and restaurant).
quiteness, close to town centre,spacious garden pool water was not heated and a bit too cold
Very nice and quiet! Excellent Dinner. Very friendly staff. Secure place and parking ground. Close to Avignon. Will come back...
Spa facilities, swimming pool area and the hotel grounds and decor were very nice. Staff were also very attentive. Free wifi in the bedrooms. My room was very small although I was advised of this when booking so can't complain, there are a couple like this, and based on other reviews, most rooms are larger (although this would cost extra to the 185€ we paid per night). My main issue was the cost of any extras in the hotel. Menu prices and drinks were extortionate even if it has a michelin star. Since it's a good 10 minute drive from Avignon, if you don't have a car, you have to go by Taxi, and for some reason that costed around 25€ each one way journey too, making it an expensive couple of days. Not sure if it's normal, but the taxi drivers seemed to start their meter when they were called by the hotel, so the starting tariff would range from 6.50€ to 8.50€ which isn't great.
Friendly staff, cleanliness, excellent value for the cost
close to restaurants and shopping mall. The front desk counter was friendly and helpful the parking compound was dusty.
Room was good and breakfast was excellent No swimming pool
perfect kitchen and stuff, nice pool and atmosphere
Standard of hotel A1 100% top notch, as too were the staff. Fantastic location, ditto premises and attention to detail. Totally perfect in every way, could not have been better. We will return.....
The staffs of hotel are very nice and friendly. Dinner was excellent and especially enjoyed to see wine list which had a lot of reasonable priced bordeaux grand vin of good vintage.
Great Service and Food, very rustic and very french Air conditioning did not work very well in the room because of poor design
A charming inn rich with history. The grounds are beautiful and one of the best bathrooms we have had in France. A lovely place if money is no object, although we did get three nights for the price of two on the booking.com site. The meals were over the top expensive. We were seated in the dining room and the owner came in and told my husband he should be wearing a jacket for dinner. This embarrassing situation could have been avoided if the website had indicated their policy or strong suggestion for dress attire. Because of this, we chose not to eat subsequent meals at the hotel and dined elsewhere.
The service was excellent, the food was out of this world (congratulations to the chef), overall the staff was very friendly and helped regarding all our requests. Relaxed atmosphere No, we were very happy. Clients should be aware that although the rooms are very reasonably priced (semi-luxurious, I would say), the restaurant is very expensive. But it was well worth it. The food was stupendous.
The hotel is beautiful with excellent grounds. First class restaurant. The air-conditioning in our room did not work which made for a very hot night. Staff were informed but took no action.
Accomodation is very complete, staff is professional. The ambiance is nice (manor and chapel). Swimming pool relatively big. The elevator in the chapel is very slow and the carpet in it has to be cleaned. But this is a minor issue.
We liked this typical atmosphere one gets in French Hotels et Chateaux, unique in the world. We also liked the central situation in the Provence, close to Avignon, very close to the highway. no complaints
overall building look, concept, garden, heritage (marquis de Sad mansion) the room (suite) was indeed very basic. although the furniture looked antique, room was spacious & overlooking beautiful Provence scenery, the overall room interior & facilities were very basic indeed (unpainted wood, old stone floor without carpets - I am now sure whether marquis would be using this floor in his bedroom :), very unconfortable bathtube - every time after the shower half of the water was in the bathroom and then in the room itseld
Peaceful, well appointed and helpful staff Nothing
Wonderful ambience and decor
Nice relax garden, good parking place, nice building, rooms where decorated in a nice way. Hotel is situated very central so that you can do a lot of day trips in the neighbourhood, with a bike or better with car. The restaurant serves very good food but you need to make a reservation in advance. The hotel is situated in the middle of a small village (you have to like that), a lot of noise in the rooms coming from outside during the night, waking you up, if we where there more nights we certainly went to another place. The staff could be more friendly. To expensive for what you get. Breakfast cost a extra 17 euro but is not worth it. When sitting on the terrace we had to wait extremely long for service. Hotel is ok but not fine-tuned enough and certainly not for that price.
Wonderful garden, friendly staff and the atmosphere of this historic place Wifi was very slow in the room
Beautiful house and light traditional decor. Breakfast was 17 euros, you need to eat a lot of food to get any value at this price. What do you do if you just want a coffee and a croissant? Some hotels now offer an express brakfast like this at 7 or 8 euros. For business people it is a perfect solution to this problem.
The hotel - un chateau - was super beautiful, the room was also exquisite, the swimming pool area was very good and the reception was perfect: the lady spoke very well English and gave us all the necessary information. The dinner was excellent.
hotel design and rooms are somewhat interesting, the room we had a small garden and direct access to the swimming pool.
Charming hotel/garden
The knowledge and helpfulness of the staff about food, wine and the area were outstanding. The setting and the garden and terrace were beautiful. The mattress was too hard.
Very helpful staff. Rather plain rooms for the price.
Location, concept...
The terrace was magnificent. Hotel employees were very nice and helpful. uncomfortable pillows
location and staff
Lovely, relaxing hotel. Clean and comfortable. Breakfast is expensive but it is a great breakfast. Treat it as a brunch and it is good value.
Absolutely lovely setting.
The location is beautiful although some rooms look at the car park, which is a pity. The bed are confortable and the staff is helpful as long as you don't ask him something he is not used to as it does not receive many business people.
It was perfectly clean and beautifully decorated. Also, the property was lovely and well kept. Every staff member with which I had contact was polite, kind, and helpful. The location is very nice and close to many visitor destinations. I simply liked everything, and I plan to take a group back next summer. The breakfasts were a bit expensive. That said, the selection was huge, and so the price was quite understandable. As a solo traveler, I just made it my big meal of the day. It would be better if the selection was just a little smaller and the price was a bit less. Other than that, I have zero issues. the hotel was wonderful.
The garden and breakfast by the stream; quiet and interesting; close to the town
setting, garden, hot tub breakfast was quite expensive, so why charge extra for an omelette? seemed a bit mean. pool did not look particularly inviting
Nice hospitality. Dificulty in finding the location.
Quiet atmosphere with no noise Concentrates on Gourmet food, wider selection of normal dishes in the menu required
helpful staff, fine dining I pictured the hotel as being more secluded than it actually was and with a view
I enjoyed the silence and the style of the building. The location is good for exploring the surrounding villages and nature. We would have preferred to have single beds nxt to ach other as opposed to one 1,5 person bed.
Swimmingpool and tennis was good, they would not speak englisk, so it was a little bit difficult to speak with them.
Nothing The reception area was a shambles, there was construction going on, the owners children and dog played in the hallways, there was no Wifi in the rooms as advertised. The place was a mess,
Hotel was in a nice quite location within walking distance of the centre of St Didier. It was an excellent stopping of point on our journey and i would have enjoyed staying longer. we had a large terrace overlooking the pool. The chef obviously cares and we thought the hotel was a very good 3 star standard and very good value for money. Do not agree with the reviewer who complained about the price of wine
Nice and clean hotel, and the rooms are fine. Pool is nice, and the area is quiet. No internet in the rooms, no aircondition, no minibar/refrigiator in the room, and poor service at the pool area during the afternoon.
A nice hotel in a small village.
Bar not open until 1800
Since this is the only hotel outside of Rousillon but close to it we had no option. But anyway the place is pretty nice, big room, clean bed, tv and everything you need for a one-night stay. Price is a bit higher than I`ve expected for such a location.
Everything!! We had eaten at this hotel two years ago, and decided to spend a very special anniversary for one night en route to St Tropez. The room was very comfortable overlooking the beautiful gardens and swimming pool. Food was wonderful, tasty and well presented. A place to return to!
We found the hotel to be very relaxing and peaceful. The staff were helpful and the food very good. The only slightly disappointing item was the Breakfast Buffet. Rather limited and unexciting.
Staff very helpful especially reception.Food was very good aswell. Expensive for the quality of the rooms-the hotel definitely needs to be refurbished and updated.There were no lounges/sitting areas and the restaurant/swimming pool area felt very cramped.Overall very expensive.For some reason my booking (I cancelled and then rebooked at a cheaper rate) didn't reach the hotel-luckily the hotel had a room.We moved after two nights.
Silence, gardens and staffs Due to very weak signal reception, WIFI internet access is not available as described
Staff was very kind. Make you feel the most important guest in the hotel. The room was clean and nice, exacty as I expected. Breakfast is too expensive.
Away from the centre of the old city, which was packed because of the Avignon Festival. Peace and quiet with rest and relaxation by the swimming pool could be followed by a short drive into the centre and some sight seeing.
convenience too many little things were annoying at this hotel 1) canvas chair on my terrace broke as I sat in it, should have been noticed as defective. 2) no light in closet, and closet door hard to open as bed side table in the way 3) toilet room no where near sink, hard to wash hands, 3) restaurant rather grim and food only ordinary (unusual for France) 4) poolside noisy and crowded 5) No newspapers in the morning as at all other good hotels 5) my bath tub and sink dribbled the water in and out...took 35 minutes to fill tub 6) did not clean room until 2:00PM
A real "Hotel de Charme et de Silence" at 12km from Isle Sur La Sorgue - beautiful superior room fresh and clean (even if there is no air conditioning) - very good breakfast with fruit juice, fresh croissant and bread, home made marmalade, milk, coffee at a right price (5€) - we also had a dinner in the restaurant and it was very good
superb hotel, superb owners,superb food
The location was wonderful. Ideal if you want to literally get away from it all. We were in a ground floor room and could hear the people above us very clearly - especially at 5 o'clock in the morning when their baby needed feeding.
We really liked the peace and quiet. It was very restful. And we liked the food!
The family suite was new and beautifully done-tile floors, high ceilings, very nice bathroom. Quiet and very Mediterranian. Relaxing Didn't know there was an in-house restaurant so we ate dinner before arrival.
Quiet location in rural setting.Great location for visiting Fontain,Gordes,Les Beaux,Roussilon etc.Weeven drove to Carmargand Avignon for day trips.Good restaurants nearby Domeniquesin Fontain and Jardin in St Didier Main coutyard needs to be paved as gravel really too noisy for guests coming and going.Swimming pool needs a heater.Main man in charge, Thomas, has just a touch of Basil about him.
Everything, excellent hotel. No.
The calmest place I have ever stayed in my life... Nothing
The location is very nice. Close to nature, ideal place to relax. Not far from the typical romantic little villages. Very friendly and helpful staff (they happily give you ideas what to see in the surroundigs), perfect services.
The gardens were lovely; we enjoyed stting under the trees in the evening sampling a glass of the local wine. Nothing we did not like.
very good michelin starred restaurant, quiet location in a garden the room was charged at 170 euros whereas the booking was made at 165 euros. This was only noticed later.
This is a beautiful countryside hotel. The room, the facilities and the view were beautiful. the air conditioning was broken and while it was fixed, the overall cooling at the hotel was not working very well during all our stay. Restaurant and breakfast are very expensive


text: AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BorgWarner BERU Systems has delivered more than three million pressure sensor glow plugs (PSGs) to diesel automakers around the world. By optimizing the combustion process, BorgWarner's PSGs help improve engine performance and reduce emissions where they start – in the combustion chamber. The first and only manufacturer to produce a PSG in series production, BorgWarner supplies numerous automakers including Audi, Isuzu, Opel and VW. PSG technology debuted in 2008 on the VW Jetta in the United States and has been launched on several other diesel engine platforms since then. BorgWarner expects demand to increase substantially over the coming years and plans to produce its ten millionth pressure sensor glow plug by 2016. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130122/DE45778 ) "BorgWarner's award-winning pressure sensor glow plug technology demonstrates how optimizing the combustion process can not only improve performance but reduce emissions," said Brady Ericson, President and General Manager, BorgWarner BERU Systems. "With stringent new emissions standards on the horizon, we expect demand to grow significantly among global original equipment automakers." BorgWarner's PSG combines a highly efficient glow plug to improve diesel engine cold starts with an integrated pressure sensor to improve engine efficiency. The sensor measures the rapidly changing in-cylinder pressure in the combustion chamber and continuously reports it to the engine control unit. By establishing closed-loop control of engine pressure, the PSG allows the engine controller to constantly regulate fuel injection quantity and timing in order to optimize the combustion process. Built with a robust steel heating rod and a piezo-resistive sensor, BorgWarner's PSG helps enhance engine efficiency for maximum performance, reliable starts in cold temperatures, improved fuel economy, lower NO x emissions and optimum torque control. BorgWarner's PSG technology has received several awards, including a 2009 Automotive News PACE Award, the 2008 Eureka Lillehammer Award and the 2006 Automechanika Innovation Award.

Schott, high-profile owner of the Cincinnati Reds baseball team, provoked an explosion of anger from America's Jewish community when she said in a television interview broadcast at the weekend that Hitler "was good at the beginning but he just went too far".
Under pressure from Major League Baseball, the sport's controlling body, she issued an apology later in which she said, "I will continue to try to be more sensitive to all people."
She has not been trying very hard so far. It turns out that in 1992 she made exactly the same remark about Hitler in an interview with the New York Times. Then in 1993 she was fined $25,000 (pounds 16,500) and suspended from baseball for eight months after delivering herself of a series of spectacularly abusive remarks. Her players were "million-dollar niggers"; Martin Luther King Day was "nigger day"; Jews were "money-grubbing".
Schott is more than just insensitive, it appears. She delights in her awfulness. During an office party last year, the Washington Post reported, her St Bernard dog set about a bowl of mayonnaise with his giant, drooling tongue. "Marge," said the wife of of one of her staff, "Scotzzie's gotten into the food." "That's terrible," Schott replied. "That's expensive mayonnaise." So she picked up a knife, stirred the bowl until the evidence of the animal's slobbering had disappeared and cried out, "Come on, everybody. Eat up!"
Someone who as a matter of principle would never feed her guests dog slaver is Julie Andrews. In her latest principled stand, the star has turned her back on the 1996 Tony Awards, rejecting a nomination that still could win her a prize for her performance in the musical Victor/Victoria. The reason, apparently, is solidarity with her husband, Blake Edwards, who directed and produced the show, as well as co-stars, Tony Roberts, Michael Nouri and Rachel York. Andrews also egregiously extended the vocabulary range we have come to associate with the stars. "I have searched my conscience and my heart and find that I cannot accept this nomination - and prefer to stand instead with the egregiously overlooked," she said in an emotion- packed speech after curtain calls at the Wednesday matinee performance.
If Julie Andrews were to set off in an aeroplane for the North Pole, and turn back 150 miles short of her target, there is no question but that she would come clean when she got home. She would not, as Richard Byrd did 70 years ago, allow herself to be paraded in New York and receive medals from President Coolidge. Researchers of Byrd's recently discovered flight diary say he and his pilot were concerned about an engine leak and turned around about 150 miles from the top of the world. "It's quite clear to me he exaggerated and knew it," said navigation scholar Dennis Rawlins.
Apparently engine noise made communication difficult during the flight on 9 May 1929, and Byrd and Floyd Bennett exchanged questions and answers in the diary. At one point there is a blank in the diary where something has been erased. Rawlins determined that the erased line was a question by Byrd to Bennett. "How long were we gone before we turned around?" The reply is, "8 1/2 (hours).
"This is not the sort of question one expects from a navigator who has been keeping close track of times and distances," Rawlins said in his report. "It also sounds like the turnaround was pretty sudden. And it doesn't feel like the words of someone who has just reached a great goal."
Rawlins said Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and his crew should be recognised as having made the first flight over the North Pole, three days after Byrd's.

Washington, Dec 03 (ANI): A new Columbia University study has found that that people diagnosed with alcoholism are more than 60 percent less likely to seek treatment if they believe they would be stigmatized once their status is known.
Despite the existence of effective programs for treating alcohol dependencies and disorders, less than a quarter of people who are diagnosed actually seek treatment.
The researchers found that individuals with an alcohol use disorder who perceived negative stigma were 0.37 times less likely to seek treatment for their disorder compared to individuals with similarly serious alcohol disorders who did not perceive stigma.
In the general population, younger individuals perceived less stigma, and also were less likely to seek treatment for an alcohol disorder. Men perceived more stigmas compared to women.
However, the data also suggested that individuals with more severe alcohol disorders had a greater likelihood to seek treatment.
"People with alcohol disorders who perceive high levels of alcohol stigma may avoid entering treatment because it confirms their membership in a stigmatized group," said Katherine Keyes, of the Mailman School of Public Health Department Epidemiology.
"Greater attention to reducing the stigma of having an alcohol disorder is urgently needed so that more individuals access the effective systems of care available to treat these disabling conditions," added Keyes.
The study was published in the American Journal of Epidemiology. (ANI)

From smartwatches to mobiles, the first 24-hours of this year's IFA electronics fair seemed devoted towards smaller screens.
But on the second day it's been the turn of the bigger displays, with new TVs from expected (and unexpected) sources hogging the limelight. Doing most of the hogging was a new set from Samsung,officially the world's largest Ultra HD TV, clocking in at a eye-blasting 110 inches (above).
However, if you can tear your gaze away from that marvel, here's a couple of our favourites from the show so far:
Samsung's curved 55-inch OLED screen lets you watch the same thing twice.
Samsung's S9C features a 55-inch curved OLED screen that the makers promise offers a cinema experience for your living room. However, it's the S9C's MultiView feature that really stands out: a feature that uses special glasses to let two different shows be watched on the same screen.
"It is like having two televisions in one," says Michael Zoeller, senior director of European sales and marketing. "Two people can watch two different programmes at the same time in full screen in full HD and even in 3D with Samsung MultiView glasses."
This isn't the first curved OLED TV (LG got there first) but it is the cheapest. The S9C goes on sale exclusively at John Lewis for £6,999, but you could split that price in two if you're planning on viewing everything in double-vision.
Ambilight from Philips promises new levels of immersion, but isn't a little off-putting?
Plenty of TV manufacturers have been busily showing off sets that offer 4K – the resolution standard the next 'step up' from HD, but that actually offers four times the pixels – but Philips had undercut them all in price.
Its 9000 series includes two models at 65- and 84-inches for €4,999 (£4,229) and €14,999 respectively. As there's not much 4K TV about at the moment the sets also feature Ultra Pixel HD Engine upscaling to adapt normal HD.
As well as offering 4K on the cheap (a relative term here), these TVs will also feature Philips' Ambilight: four strips of multi-coloured lights that detect that match the shades currently on your TV. It sounds like a gimmick but used correctly can really create an immersive experience.
And another curveball from the so-called 'Apple of the East' (but still no TV from Apple...)
It's not the most innovative new TV on the scene (and in fact it's not from IFA either) but its origins should raise a few eye-brows. Fast-growing smartphone makers Xiaomi have launched their own 47-inch 3D Smart TV, confirming that the ambitious company is not content with the mobile market.
This from the company that recently poached top Google talent in the form of Android exec Hugo Barra, after making a phone that sold 100,000 units in just 90 seconds.
The new device has an LCD screen (rather than the latest OLED tech) but is extremely thin: 4.8cm at its thickest and just 2cm at its slimmest. It also supports dual-band Wi-Fi frequencies to allow streaming shows direct to the TV and supports Bluetooth accessories.

GCC Developers Publish Bugfix Release
The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) developers have now released version 4.2.3, which fixes a number of bugs.
The latest release appeared after three months of work by the developer team. Joseph Myers does not reveal the bugs the release fixes in his announcement – he simply refers generically to regressions. This said, the fixes seem to be fairly major, drawing conclusions from the 31MB footprint of the patch for the previous version. No new functions were added.
The GNU Compiler Collection includes compilers for the C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java and Ada programming languages. Both the patch and the complete GCC 4.2.3 archive are available for downloading from various mirror servers.

(GitHub: jeromeetienne /
by Jerome Etienne is a port of 960 grid to jQuery Mobile. By combining
960.gs with jQuery Mobile the author aims to offer more flexible layout options, which makes
supporting tablets easier:
jQuery mobile layout is currently rather raw. They only split the width in even parts, providing little controls to the designer. It uses an custom API with names ending with a, b, c or d, ui-block-a for example. Not the classic grid-4 or span-3, so it feel awkward. [...] 960 grids are flexible and well known. So i used ported 960 grids to see if it helps.
Easy WebSocket (GitHub: jeromeetienne /
EasyWebsocket, MIT
License) also by Jerome Etienne is an effort to remove servers from the
WebSocket equation. It appears to use iframes and a small Python App
Engine script to make accessing resources as easy as this:
var socket = new EasyWebSocket('ws://example.com/resource');
socket.onopen = function() {
socket.send('hello world.')
socket.onmessage = function(event) {
alert('received: ' + event.data);
So technically it still depends on a server, but it could make the lives
of front-end developers simpler who aren't used to messing around with
server-side code.
(GitHub: pixelmatrix / mapkey,
MIT License) by Josh Pyles is a jQuery keyboard shortcut plugin that has
aliases for a lot of keys. Rather than working out the key codes for
arrow keys,
left and
up can be used instead:
$.mapKey('down', function() {
// Keyboard shortcut event support goes here
I always try to add keyboard shortcuts to my apps, so rather than my
hokey homebrew keyboard code I might give this a try. One thing to
remember when supporting hotkeys is to be specific -- if a letter key is
pressed should this still trigger when the shift or metakeys are held

Now Viewing:
The Yukon NVMT 2x24 is a superior optic, and will satisfy all of your night vision needs. It boasts a maximum range of detection of 400 m, and features a built in IR illuminator with Pulse technology. Additionally, there are optional objective lenses, that allow for greater magnification. This unit features cutting edge technology & practicality. Ergonomically designed, and compact, the NVMT stows away easily and is comfortable to hold and use.
PLEASE NOTE: There are many variables which influence the distance one sees with night vision devices-amongst them the object's size, the level of detail being sought and the observation conditions. Night vision devices detect much further under a full moon and clear skies than they will under a new moon and cloudy skies. Many different formulas are used to determine the statistic of maximum viewing range and this varies by manufacturer, so ultimately the generation of the intensifier tube is much more relevant than any quoted statistic when determining the maximum viewing range.
All night vision devices sold by B&H have mechanisms in place to protect the intensifier tube from a sudden burst of bright light, but this does not mean that bright light doesn't damage the device. Bright light in any form is not good for the longevity and performance of image intensifier tubes.

User:Kirstin Grace Harriger/Notebook/Physics 307L/Poisson Statistics
From OpenWetWare
Steve Koch 03:48, 21 December 2010 (EST):Very good notebook and nice data.
Lab 04: Poisson Statistics
- Poisson Distribution: The Poisson Distribution is a discrete probability distribution. It expresses the probability of a number of discrete events occurring within a time frame if the timing of each event is independent of the timing of the previous event and there is a know average rate of events. It is assumed that no two events are simultaneous. If the expected number of occurrences in this interval is λ then the probability that there are exactly k occurrences is equal to
In the Poisson Distribution, λ is the mean number of occurrences, and is the standard deviation.
Safety Concerns
- Be aware of shock hazards
- UCS 30 software on the computer
- combined PMT scintillator inside 4 short walls of lead bricks
- Spectech Universal Computer Spectrometer power supply
Set Up
- Turn on the computer and log-in if necessary,
- Turn on the Spechtech, it has to be turned on first before the software,
- Double click on the icon for the software on the desktop of the computer,
Data Collection
- Under mode select "PHA (Amp In)"
- Under Settings Select "High Voltage On", and set it to an appropriate value, we used 1200 V. This value is used to adjust the sensitivity of the detector, and a higher voltage will decrease the sensitivity to only the most energetic radiation
- Under mode, select "MCS (Internal)"
- Under Settings, select MCS, and then pick your appropriate dwell time, which is how large each bin is for the number of events counted.
- To collect data, hit the green "Go button" and let it run its course
- When it stops, save it to a file or USB drive, but save it as a "comma separated variable (*.csv)"
- Import it into Google docs
The values for our dwells times were: 10, 20, 40, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800 ms and 1 s.
This is the Spectech Universal Computer Spectrometer power supply
This is the combined PMT scintillator inside 4 short walls of lead bricks
Sheet 1 in each spreadsheet contains the data from the program and Sheet 2 contains the following: Min and Max count of events for a dwell time, the average of the counts per dwell time, the theoretical (root of the average) and the calculated standard deviation for the average as well as a percent error between the two, the prediction for a one second dwell time, and the number of dwell times (windows) with a given number of events.

Each graph shows a given number of events for a dwell time on the x-axis, and the number of time periods in which a given number of events was recorded on the y-axis. If there were 4 dwell times in which 3 events occurred, then 3 is the x-coordinate and 4 is the y-coordinate. Each graph shows the results from a different dwell time. The dwell times from left to right are 10, 20, 40, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800 ms and 1 s. As the dwell time increases, the curve becomes more symmetric and the peak moves to the right. This is unique of the Poisson Distribution, and a good qualitative test.
To be sure our data represents a Poisson Distribution we compared the standard deviation calculated directly from the data to the root of the mean of the data. The root of the mean of the data is the standard deviation for the Poisson Distribution by definition, so the two numbers should be very close to each other. This is a good quantitative test.

The percent differences are all very small, with the largest being 5.13% and the smallest being 0.18%. This shows that our data does represent a Poisson Distribution.

Cop Does The Sweetest Thing For A Pit Bull Being Brutally Beaten By Owner
Harvard is a Pit Bull. While some have promulgated stories about this breed of dog being vicious the tales are not true. Vicious or not, no animal deserves to be beaten with a brick. Harvard is really a puppy and is still small in relation to the size Pit Bulls grow to.
Harvard's former "owner" was seen beating the dog in the middle of the street with a brick. Someone called the police and the Cleveland Police Department dispatched Officer Brandon Melbar to the scene of the crime. Melbar not only rescued Harvard from a probable death but adopted the dog because he knew the animals have a reputation for being difficult to adopt for animal shelters.
Harvard took a severe beating. He suffered contusions to his head and body and had one of his front legs broken. Melbar paid for the medial bills that Harvard's recovery required and took him home to live with the other dog's that the policeman has rescued from abuse.
The photo of the beaten dog in the policeman's car just says it all. The animal instinctively knows that it is now in the company of a person that will treat it kindly and love it. The dog's eyes just tell you that. There is no mention of what punishment the person that beat the dog received.
Taking care of sick, abused, and homeless animal appears to have become a tradition for several other policemen in Cleveland as Officer John Lyons and his family have proven by adopting a homeless female and her puppies.
Yes, these men are policemen. They are people that care about animals and love dogs as well. Being capable of caring is one of the prerequisites for being a police officer even though many people would not believe it until they read it in the training manuals.
This short little photo study deserves to be shared with as many people as a person possibly can. There are two distinct messages in the set of photos that people need to hear more than they normally do.
The few photos and short report put a new and different aspect on the work that policemen do every day that they work. The vast majority of cops attempt to settle any problem with understanding and common sense. That message needs to be heard in the troubling times we live in.
You need to share this little photo group to remind people that abusing animals is just wrong. It is wrong morally and it is a crime. Animals can be disciplined in a number of ways that do not harm the animal and like all of us humans the animals do need some discipline once in a while.

thanks for responding.
How would that be different if it were to be deployed to a standalone WebLogic Server?
How is our jar be moved into the deployed WebLogic Server once we add it as an ADF jar/library ?
It's not been clear in the section there.

Tiger Woods spent his second day at Royal Liverpool re-acquainting himself with the Hoylake links where he produced an emotional victory in 2006, two months after the death of his father.
Apart from his ball cannoning off the back of one spectator when he pulled his approach to the 16th, the three-time Open champion had a relatively uneventful practice round as he prepared for only his second event since undergoing surgery on his back in March.
In keeping with the tactic which propelled him to victory on this course eight years ago – when he hit one driver in 72 holes – the American kept the big stick in his bag throughout.
Even on the par-five eighth into the wind Woods hit a three wood and still sent it out as far as playing partner Matt Kuchar hit his driver.
Many tee shots were also made with irons as Woods, who has not won a major since the 2008 US Open, stuck to his game plan of avoiding the dangers posed by Hoylake's bunkers.
It is a ploy which will not suit everyone, but fits Woods, often wayward with his drivers, perfectly.
"We play a different game off the tee. My driver is as strong as his three wood," said Kuchar. "It's interesting to see his perspective and you can see him plotting the golf course to ensure you avoid the pot bunkers."Reuse content

Obama's Exploding Transportation Budget
"Funding for most programs would increase temporarily under this plan, falling back to more typical levels by FY 2013. The Administration is hoping to use this year's transportation budget as a sort of second stimulus, and the $50 billion in new funding would include some measures that replicate what was seen in the first stimulus."
See the graph of the transportation agencies that shows the increased sums for 2012 that are dramatically reduced the following year. The largest increase, $30 billion goes to the Federal Highway Administration. Federal Transit Administration budget increases by $10 billion.
Also see the chart showing New Starts funding, the largest being the LIRR East Side Access at $215 million followed by Second Ave. subway at $197 million (see Planetizen: New York City Rail Projects Win Huge Federal Funding Awards).
Transportation budget total is $128.6 billion. For entire budget proposal (OMB), see Highlights of Obama's $3.73 trillion budget (AP).
Thanks to The Transport Politic

Plato's Republic
- United States
- Literary Criticism , Philosophy
- English
More informationPlato is perhaps the most significant philosopher who has ever lived, and The Republic, composed in Athens in about 375 BC, is widely regarded as his most famous dialogue. Its discussion of the perfect city-and the perfect mind-laid the foundations for Western culture and, for over two thousand years, has been the cornerstone of Western philosophy. As Simon Blackburn writes, "It has probably sustained more commentary, and been subject to more radical and impassioned disagreement, than almost any other of the great founding texts of the modern world."
In Plato's Republic, Simon Blackburn explains the judicial, moral, and political ideas in The Republic. Blackburn also examines The Republic's remarkable influence and unquestioned staying power, and shows why, from Saint Augustine to twentieth-century philosophers such as Ludwig Wittgenstein and Henri Bergson, Western thought is still conditioned by this most important of books.

In a few days we'll cut the ribbon and officially open the expanded Kessel Student Center. Since we are rebuilding approximately half the campus, there will be more ribbon cutting ceremonies in the months ahead. Slowly but surely, student life and bustle—rather than construction—is becoming the most visible activity on campus.
I've recently toured the campus and it's very exciting to see the construction sites shrink and our renewed campus take shape. The expanded Kessel Center has more room for student activities and meetings, as well as dining, and is once again teeming with student life. We still need to do some landscaping and, when the weather gets better, we will plant grass, shrubs and trees. By summer Kessel will look like a Pace postcard.
I'm also very excited that work on the Environmental Center is just about finished. Students are using the new classroom and we completed many of the site improvements last fall. All that's left is to finish the new farmhouse, and we hope to have that completed soon.
Construction on Alumni Hall continues. The first of two new residence halls under construction, Alumni Hall will open for business in time for the fall semester. Work on the new athletic facilities is also progressing. The baseball field is ready for its new surface. Once the weather improves, we will put down a new artificial turf field for football and other sports. We are also putting the finishing touches on a new lecture hall in Willcox Hall. Students will begin using the new space next semester.
Other new facilities are already open. Students in our media arts and communications program started working on a new sound stage in Willcox last fall. We also replaced the old sculpture studio in Paton House with a new one in the Art Barn and added an additional classroom in Paton House. These new spaces also opened last semester.
The renewal of our Pleasantville campus has many advantages. Once construction of Alumni Hall is complete, we will relocate many students from Briarcliff to Pleasantville and all students will benefit from enhanced academic and social programs. We're creating more green space for students to enjoy, and our new living learning communities in the residence halls will help us inject academics deeper into student life.
Most of all, however, our physical renewal in Pleasantville will lead to greater interest in, and growth of, our academic programs. We've seen it before. When we renovated the science labs in Pleasantville, enrollment in our science programs went up. When we created a new state-of-the-art home at 140 William Street in New York City for our performing arts program, enrollment jumped and our ability to recruit and retain high-quality faculty members also improved. We expect the same result in Pleasantville from this major project.
Former UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said, "We shape our buildings, thereafter they shape us." No doubt our new and improved facilities in Pleasantville will help shape students for many years to come.

text: It's a move that had been planned for years. Penobscot County District and Superior Courts have relocated across town into a new, 36-million dollar building.While the new courthouse in Bangor looks different than its predecessors, folks there say it's better equipped for what people need today.This building will handle everything from family matters to serious criminal cases. They've combined two courts, three buildings, and all the personnel that comes with them."You're always going to have a kink or two, but on the whole, things have gone pretty smoothly," says Maine Supreme Judicial Court Justice Warren Silver.He says a key feature at the new spot– security. The Penobscot Judicial Center has three separate sets of hallways to keep distinct groups apart."One for the public that comes in through entry screening, one for the staff at the back of the house, and a third for prisoners," Silver says."And the safety of the public is paramount for the court system right now," says Chief Justice, Leigh Saufley. "We're actually seeing a lot more tension and a lot more physical altercations in courthouses.""No more meeting prisoners in hallways and having them sit on benches in public areas. That way, victims are protected," Silver says.There are also more conference rooms for more privacy. In family courtrooms, there's more seating, to allow for situations involving many people.Also central to the new building is technology."We have a major televideo capability here," Silver says. "We're about to start arraignments over televideo, so prisoners don't need to be transported from the county jail over here."Saufley says Silver and his team identified these needs for the building through years of research."This courthouse represents the best of all the designs they saw," she says. "And at the same time, incorporates the energy efficiency and safety and technology that the public is going to need over the next 200 years."

What Steve Jobs Said About Streaming Music Subscriptions
C Frank0 stashed this in AAPL
Source: http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/ne...
Jobs was notoriously skeptical of the streaming music business. When asked how he viewed the music subscription model in a 2004 interview with Billboardon the one year anniversary of iTunes, Jobs said:
"We have more discussions with the content owners than anyone else. This is something we've pursued right from day one. If for $10 a month you could put 10,000 songs on your iPod, we'd like to know about it. But you can't, because there's no business model that makes sense for the labels, or the subscription fees you would have to pay are ridiculous. It doesn't matter what kind of technology we develop (…) just because you build it doesn't mean they will come."
Jobs echoed these thoughts in an interview with Rolling Stone in 2003, "The subscription model of buying music is bankrupt." he said. "I think you could make available the Second Coming in a subscription model, and it might not be successful."
Continuing, "The first record company to really understand this stuff was Warner. Next was Universal. Then we started making headway. And the reason we did, I think, is because we made predictions. And we were right. We told them the music subscription services they were pushing were going to fail. MusicNet was gonna fail. Pressplay was gonna fail. Here's why: People don't want to buy their music as a subscription. They bought 45s, then they bought LPs, they bought cassettes, they bought 8-tracks, then they bought CDs. They're going to want to buy downloads."
And to his point, so far streaming music has had a difficult time gaining a mainstream audience in the U.S. Even with a super-bowl ad and an AT&T partnership, Label sources estimate to Billboard that the Beats Music subscriber count is in the "low six figures," others reporting around 200,000 subscribers. Spotify last reported 2 million paying subscribers in the U.S. and has yet to turn a profit. In contrast, Apple still has 800 million iTunes account holders, but digital track sales are down a staggering 12.5% in Q1 of this year.
In 2011, Hirchhorn described a meeting with Steve Jobs to Cnet, "I give him my views on the future of music, and I was always big on subscription services. He listened and then he said, "Jason, you seem like a nice guy, but your ideas are all wrong."
Iovine explained a similar experience to Inc. magazine, "I've been meeting with Apple about subscriptions since 2004. Every two months. I think they're an incredible company, and I wanted them to do subscriptions."
Stashed in: Steve Jobs, Music, Monetization, Rolling Stone!, Apple, @drdre
I can appreciate how tough it is for the music industry.
Streaming services appear to be cannibalizing some digital track sales.
But streaming services have not demonstrated they can be profitable.
The exception is YouTube, which does video streaming instead of audio streaming.
Perhaps that has insight into the future of music and how to make money.
Yes but not really comparable: It's not playlist based like Spotify and Beats by Dre.
