Hello all,
I own a 1991 alumicross. on the underside of the down tube there is a single braze-on, the catalogue describes it as a Air Bottom Basement. Does anybody have any idea what that is?

Hi Jake:
Sorry I do not know what is Air Bottom Basement, probably is Bottom Bracket(sometimes the translation from Japanese to English is not quite clear).
Hernan - October 10, 2008 at 8:56 AM
The air bottle basement is a single threaded mount on the underside of the down tube. It is the same size and threading as a water bottle braze-on.
It was designed to mount a bracket to hold a CO2 cartridge. Hence - air bottle basement.
I have a '92 - 916 and have been looking for the bracket to hold the CO2 cartridge.

Dear all
I am found a some web site css look like this
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" href="/css/styles.css?v=8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" href="/css/en.css?v=8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" type="text/css" href="/css/print.css?v=8" />
I am not very familiar in CSS advanced. Please share me which case use css for this setup.
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" href="/css/styles.css?v=8" />
The rel attribute provides metadata about the relationship of the link (stylesheet), media attribute tells us what the stylesheet is for (screen), the type attribute tells us it's "text/css", href tells us the Universal Reosucre Indicator (or Link) to the actual location of the stylesheet document (in this case located in a folder called css located in the root directory of the website). The "?v=8" in the URL string is a trick to make browsers grab the latest stylesheet from the server as opposed to from cache.
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" href="/css/en.css?v=8" />
This one looks like its an english-language specific stylesheet as far as I can guess - probably to ensure correct formatting (left to right, top to bottom) of content.
<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" type="text/css" href="/css/print.css?v=8" />
This stylesheet is used for printing - when the user prints the page to a printer, this stylesheet is used. Typically print stylesheets remove unnecessary graphics, navigation, or other stylistic effects that may negatively impact printing. So for instance a print stylesheet may remove background images, hide the navigation, and maybe even change the font color to optimize the page for best print results.
Hope this helps.
"styles.css?v=8" is simply the link to that site's particular stylesheet with a bit (?v=8) that forces the browser to grab the newest version of styles.css from the server (not generally necessary) in case the viewer has it cached in their browser.
Your website can use a .css stylesheet as well, if you like. CSS is very powerful for both design and layout of HTML pages and is definitely worth learning.
I personally use this site:
When I can't remember or need to find out how to make CSS do what I want. There are tons of CSS resources out there though, just look up "learn CSS" in google and you'll get links to good resources.

Warface trailer dramatically urges you to play both sides
You may recall Warface's recent, very interesting trailer on weapon modding. Do you know, some people didn't find that interesting? "Stop showing actual gameplay mechanics and showing us in-game footage," they complained. "Let us watch highly cinematic cutscenes instead." So that's what you'll find below the break. I hope you're happy.

Our owner and president, Bob Stallings, understands the hard work that goes into growing, maintaining and harvesting crops. Since the age of seven, Bob has spent time in the fields and has experienced the ups and downs of a grower's life.
Bob was raised on a family farm outside Nashville, Georgia. He worked alongside his father and uncle until the farm was sold when he was 26. Along with farming, his father, Ray, had been the Southeastern Regional field trainer for the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) since 1961. The family moved to Florida in 1973 when Ray became FCIC's director for the state of Florida. As FCIC director, Ray was instrumental in the development of many of the Multi-Peril Crop Insurance policies that are still in existence.
When Ray retired in 1988, he founded Stallings Crop Insurance Corporation. In 1990, Bob joined the family business. He always wanted to be involved with crop insurance so he talked it over with his father and decided to seize the chance to work alongside him.
Ray and Bob continue to farm today. They grow citrus on 160 acres in Alturas, Florida. Ray-Bob Groves grows Hamlin, Valencia Oranges and Red Grapefruit.

A CubeSat is a type of miniaturized satellite for space research that usually has a volume of exactly one liter (10 cm cube), has a mass of no more than 1.33 kilograms,[1] and typically uses commercial off-the-shelf components for its electronics.
Beginning in 1999, California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) and Stanford University developed the CubeSat specifications to help universities worldwide to perform space science and exploration.
While the bulk of development and launches comes from academia, several companies build CubeSats, most notably Clyde Space and Pumpkin, Inc., as well as large-satellite-maker Boeing, and CubeSat projects have even been the subject of Kickstarter campaigns.[2] The CubeSat format is also popular with amateur radio satellite builders.
The CubeSat specification accomplishes several high-level goals. Simplification of the satellite's infrastructure makes it possible to design and produce a workable satellite at low cost. Encapsulation of the launcher-payload interface takes away the prohibitive amount of managerial work that would previously be required for mating a piggyback satellite with its launcher. Unification among payloads and launchers enables quick exchanges of payloads and utilization of launch opportunities on short notice.
The term "CubeSat" was coined to denote nano-satellites that adhere to the standards described in the CubeSat design specification. Cal Poly published the standard in an effort led by aerospace engineering professor Jordi Puig-Suari.[3] Bob Twiggs, of the Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics at Stanford University, and currently a member of the space science faculty at Morehead State University in Kentucky, has contributed to the CubeSat community.[4] His efforts have focused on CubeSats from educational institutions.[5] The specification does not apply to other cube-like nano-satellites such as the NASA "MEPSI" nano-satellite, which is slightly larger than a CubeSat.
In 2004, with their relatively small size, CubeSats could each be made and launched for an estimated $65,000–$80,000.[3] This price tag, far lower than most satellite launches, has made CubeSat a viable option for schools and universities across the world. Because of this, a large number of universities and some companies and government organizations around the world are developing CubeSats — between 40 and 50 universities in 2004, Cal Poly reported.[3]
The standard 10×10×10 cm basic CubeSat is often called a "1U" CubeSat meaning one unit. CubeSats are scalable along only one axis, by 1U increments. CubeSats such as a "2U" CubeSat (20×10×10 cm) and a "3U" CubeSat (30×10×10 cm) have been both built and launched.
Since CubeSats are all 10x10 cm (regardless of length) they can all be launched and deployed using a common deployment system. CubeSats are typically launched and deployed from a mechanism called a Poly-PicoSatellite Orbital Deployer (P-POD), also developed and built by Cal Poly.[6] P-PODs are mounted to a launch vehicle and carry CubeSats into orbit and deploy them once the proper signal is received from the launch vehicle. P-PODs have deployed over 90% of all CubeSats launched to date (including un-successful launches), and 100% of all CubeSats launched since 2006. The P-POD Mk III has capacity for three 1U CubeSats, or other 1U, 2U, or 3U CubeSats combination up to a maximum volume of 3U.[7]
CubeSat forms a cost-effective independent means of getting a payload into orbit.[3] Most CubeSats carry one or two scientific instruments as their primary mission payload. Several companies and research institutes offer regular launch opportunities in clusters of several cubes. ISC Kosmotras and Eurokot are two companies that offer such services.[8]
The CubeSat reference design was proposed[when?] by professors Jordi Puig-Suari of California Polytechnic State University and Bob Twiggs of Stanford University. The goal was to enable graduate students to be able to design, build, test and operate in space a spacecraft with capabilities similar to that of the first spacecraft, Sputnik. The CubeSat as initially proposed did not set out to become a standard; rather, it became a standard over time by a process of emergence. The first CubeSats were launched in June 2003 on a Russian Eurockot, and approximately 75 CubeSats have been placed into orbit as of August 2012[update].[9]
One of the earliest launches of CubeSats was 30 June 2003 from Plesetsk, Russia, with Eurockot Launch Services's Multiple Orbit Mission. CubeSats were put into a sun-synchronous orbit and included the Danish AAU CubeSat and DTUSat, the Japanese CubeSat XI-IV and CUTE-1, the Canadian Can X-1, and the US triple-CubeSat Quakesat.[10]
On 27 October 2005, a Kosmos-3M launch vehicle launched from Plesetsk carried three CubeSats into orbit on the European Space Agency's Student Space Exploration & Technology Initiative (SSETI) mission. The SSETI Express Satellite student-built satellite was not a CubeSat as it weighed 62 kg and was the size of a washing machine.[11] The CubeSats that did make orbit on this launch were the Ncube satellite project from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and the University of Tokyo's CubeSat XI-V.[11]
On 26 July 2006, 14 CubeSats from 11 universities and a private company were launched aboard a Dnepr rocket, the largest planned deployment of CubeSats to date.[5] The rocket failed and was destroyed during launch, obliterating the CubeSats and four other satellites aboard.[13] The launch was lost after the first stage engine shut down prematurely.[14] All satellite parts are believed destroyed. The committee investigating the failed launch concluded that the failure was caused by a malfunctioning hydraulic drive unit on the rocket's first stage.[15] The malfunction brought about control disturbances which led to roll instability and excessive excursions of yaw and pitch angles. Thrust termination occurred at 74 seconds after lift off. The launch had been postponed numerous times because the primary payload, EgyptSat 1, was not ready. Due to ITAR concerns,[citation needed] the CubeSats were moved to a different launch site, with the primary payload being BelKA, which was to be the first satellite from Belarus. The launch carried Rincon 1 and SACRED, both from the University of Arizona and UniSat-4 from the University of Rome (GAUSS team). Other projects came from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Hankuk Aviation University, Seoul, Korea and Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy. The Aerospace Corporation, from the United States, also had its own commercial project on board.
Seven CubeSats were launched 17 April 2007 as secondary payloads on a Dnepr rocket.[16] They included a Colombian project from the students at the Universidad Sergio Arboleda. Their satellite, called Libertad 1, was Colombia's first. The Aerospace Corporation had their AeroCube 2,[17] CP-3 & CP-4 were on board from California Polytechnic State University,[18] and CAPE-1 from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
In a launch coordinated by the Nanosatellite Launch System, a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle launched CubeSats on April 28, 2008. One was a 3-unit CubeSat (10x10x30 centimeters) named Delfi-C3 from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.[19]
On 3 August 2008, a SpaceX Falcon 1 launched from the Kwajalein Atoll launch facility (US) with two NASA CubeSats. They were the PREsat from NASA's Ames Research Center, and the NanoSail-D from both NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and Ames Research Center.[20] These CubeSats were lost due to a launch vehicle failure when the rocket's first stage inadvertently made contact with the second stage after separation. The ground spare for NanoSail, the NanoSail-D2 cubesat, was successfully launched in November 2010 and deployed from the FASTSAT satellite on a Minotaur IV launch.
On December 8, 2010, several CubeSats were reported to have deployed successfully from a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, the same one that launched their first Dragon spacecraft on COTS Demo Flight 1.
On March 4, 2011, the Glory mission was lost when the fairing of the Taurus XL failed to separate from the launch vehicle. The rocket also carried three CubeSat satellites. These university satellites include the Space Science and Engineering Laboratory's Explorer-1 PRIME (E1P) developed by students at Montana State University, Kentucky Space's KySat-1 which was developed by multiple Kentucky universities plus several organizations and companies,[21] and the University of Colorado-Boulder's HERMES. This was the first of NASA's Educational Launch of Nanosatellite, or ELaNa, missions.
On October 28, 2011, three PPODs containing six cubesats were placed into orbit along with the NPOESS Preparatory Project satellite aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. This was the second of NASA's Educational Launch of Nanosatellite (ELaNa) missions launched.[22]
On September 13, 2012, eleven CubeSats were launched from eight P-Pods, as part of the "OutSat" secondary payload aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.[23] This is the largest number of CubeSats (and largest volume of 24U) successfully placed to orbit on a single launch, this was made possible by use of the new NPS CubeSat Launcher system (NPSCuL) developed at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS). The following CubeSats were placed on orbit: SMDC-ONE 2.2 (Baker), SMDC-ONE 2.1 (Able), AeroCube 4.0(x3), Aeneas, CSSWE, CP5, CXBN, CINEMA, and Re (STARE).[24]
Five CubeSats (Raiko, Niwaka, We-Wish, TechEdSat, F-1) were placed into orbit from International Space Station on October 4, 2012, as a technology demonstration of small satellite deployment from ISS. They were launched and delivered to ISS as a cargo of Kounotori 3, and the ISS astronaut prepared the deployment mechanism attached to Japanese Experiment Module's robotic arm.[25][26][27]
Four CubeSats were deployed from the Cygnus Mass Simulator, which was launched April 21, 2013 on the maiden flight of Orbital Sciences' Antares rocket.[28] Three of them are 1U PhoneSats built by NASA's Ames Research Center to demonstrate the use of smart phones as avionics in Cube Sats. The fourth is a 3U spacecraft, called Dove-1, built by Cosmogia Inc.[29]
Four CubeSats were launched for transfer to the International Space Station, on August 4, 2013 : ArduSat-1, ArduSat-X, PicoDragon, TechEdSat 3. They were carried abord the Kounotori 4 spacecraft (H-IIB Launch Vehicle No. 4) launched from Y2 in Japan at 19:48:46 UTC.[30] On August 9, 2013, The H-IIB Transfer Vehicle (HTV-4) has been captured by the ISS' Kybo robotic arm at 11:22 UTC and installed on its berthing port at 18:38 UTC.[31]
On December 5, 2013, twelve CubeSats as part of the "GemSat" secondary payload aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.[32] This is the second flight of NPSCuL, so the total volume was again 24U from eight Cal Poly P-PODs. The following CubeSats were placed on orbit: AeroCube 5 (Aerospace Corp.), ALICE (Air Force Institute of Technology), SNaP, TacSat 6 & two SMDC-ONE (U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command), CUNYSAT 1 (Medgar Evans College), IPEX (NASA's Jet Propulsion Labaratory at Cal Poly), MCubed 2 (University of Michigan), FIREBIRD 1A & 1B (Montana State University).
Future development[edit]
An example of one of the ELaNa satellites is the University of New Mexico's Space Plug-and-play Architecture (SPA) proof of concept flight for the Trailblazer mission. Trailblazer is a 1U Cubesat to be launched in 2012 under the ELaNa four mission.[33] KickSat is scheduled for launch in early 2014.[34]
The goal of the QB50 project is to use an international network of 50 CubeSats for multi-point, in-situ measurements in the lower thermosphere (90–350 km) and re-entry research. QB50 is an initiative of the Von Karman Institute and is funded by the European Union. Double-unit ("2-U") CubeSats (10x10x20 cm) are foreseen, with one unit (the 'functional' unit) providing the usual satellite functions and the other unit (the 'science' unit) accommodating a set of standardised sensors for lower thermosphere and re-entry research. 35 CubeSats are envisaged to be provided by universities in 19 European countries, 10 by universities in the US, 2 by universities in Canada and 3 by Japanese universities. 10 double or triple CubeSats are foreseen to serve for in-orbit technology demonstration of new space technologies. All 50 CubeSats will be launched together on a single launch vehicle. The launch is planned for mid-2015.[35] The Request for Proposals (RFP) for the QB50 CubeSat was released on February 15, 2012.

SFEIS PLAN for Shelby Farms Pkwy
Petition to Refrain from Approving SFEIS plan and Consider other Plans
for Shelby Farms Parkway (aka Kirby Parkway)
for Shelby Farms Parkway (aka Kirby Parkway)
The City of Memphis, Shelby County, and the State of Tennessee have developed a plan, called the Supplemental Final Environmental Impact Statement (SFEIS), to build Shelby Farms Parkway (aka Kirby Parkway) through our irreplaceable Shelby Farms Park. The current plan would cause great danger to our environment. It would threaten damage to the Memphis aquifer (the source of our great drinking water). It affects the floodplain (increasing the odds of flooding). The roadway costs too much, provides limited (and uncalculated benefits, allows tractor-trailers to cross the park, and is in conflict with Federal Law and a Supreme Court ruling which severely restricts building roadways across public parks.
The study that produced the plan was mismanaged. Vital information was withheld. The public was not adequately informed. Less impactful, less costly, alternatives were not considered. We are seeking a new study -- a more objective, more thorough, less manipulated, and more transparent study; to produce a plan which is much less impactful, less expensive, and completely justified with cost-benefit analysis.
Action Petitioned For:
We the undersigned are concerned citizens who strongly urge the political leaders of Memphis and Shelby County to review alternative transportation plans to meet projected needs while taking into account environmental impacts prior to approving any plans (SFEIS or other) for Shelby Farms Parkway (aka Kirby Parkway)

"Perfect location"
Wonderful service. Very clean and comfortable room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Our stay was very nice. We visited Salem and our hotel stay was very nice.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
quickest check in and check out of any hotel I have ever stayed in. Front desk staff were all extremely helpful and pleasant. Only complaint is minor. I couldn't get a bottle of soda that wasn't Pepsi. I understand that Pepsi is their vendor but no choices were available either in the store or the machine. It was Pepsi or water, no root beer or orange […] soda. A little strange. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Hotel was great.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The hotel staff was nice, clean hotelGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice alternative to staying in Salem"
The hotel was very nice and only about a 10 minute drive to Salem. Our only complaint was that we called ahead about checking in and were told we would be able to check in by 3 instead of 4. When we arrived, only one of our rooms was ready and our room wasn't ready until almost 4:30. Also, we were not told at check in about the additional hold on our […] debit card for incidentals. It wasn't so much an issue, but we should have been told and explained the process, other than that, we were very happy with our room, the service and the convenience. If you can't find accommodations IN Salem, this is a great choice! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"super friendly staff an very helpful"
Every hotel in Salem was booked so we booked this marriot because it was about 3 miles from Salem. The staff was very friendly the hotel was very clean and the buffet breakfast was very nice. Overall wish we could have stayed another day.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very Pleased!"
Staff was extremely courteous and helpful. The room was clean and neat, and the bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept on in a hotel. Very reasonable rates.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
I feel some sort of breakfast should be included for the price paid. The beds and linens were wonderful! Room was very clean and I slept very well!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"close to salem"
nice, comfortable hotel. About a 10 minure drive to downtown Salem. Good buffet for brekfast, just alittle pricey.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great experience"
Checking in was a breeze, the room and public spaces were clean and well staffed. The reception after-party continued beyond the hotel lounge closing and we were shown to a courtyard which was completely sound proof and open to the night sky where we could all continue to enjoy each others company without disturbing any other guests. Unexpected and […] great! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"great hotel for a great price"
we had a very great labor day weekend at the marriot of peabody. staff was very helpful with directions to salem and fenway park. if your looking for a great hotel with a great restaurant/lounge outside of the city this is the place.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice Hotel near Salem"
This hotel was a little further from downtown Salem than I originally thought. It's about a ten to fifteen minute drive away but the hotel is very nice and the room was spacious and clean. Would have liked a fridge but there was a coffee maker which was good since coffee was not free in lobby. All and all nice hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review
"convenient location"
the hotel lobby was very nice. The room was clean, but it was the very small! The bathroom was lovely and spacious. They should have sacrificed some of the bathroom space to add to the main room. Bottom line it was a clean place to sleep.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Visiting the north shore"
Very nice hotel. Comfortable bed. Close to everything on the north shore. It's not on the ocean or in the center of a tourist area. Can't really walk to anything. Restaurant has great food and staff.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Mariott Peabody, MA"
We can count on quality service and cleanliness in this hotel. Easy on and off the highway.Genuine Expedia guest review
great location great room great wkndGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good Enough"
Spent one night here. It was good enough. It's not extravagant. Slightly worn. Air Conditioner was loud and couldn't keep the room at an average temperature and would turn off and on a lot in the middle of the night. We also had some plumbing issues.Title says it all. It was good enough for the price we paid.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
A well maintained facility, with a proficient and professional staff. It made the stay most enjoyable.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean, Quite and Good Breakfast"
We booked two rooms for our overnight stay for a family wedding in Marblehead, MA. I was pleased with the hotel from the outside appearance to the lobby, and room. The room was clean and quite, my only complaint was the air was blowing on our heads all night and there was no way to adjust the vents on the air conditioner to blow in a different direction. […] The bed had been placed with the headboard against the inside bathroom wall which I guess makes it quieter but puts you right in line with the air. My son-in-law put pillows in front of their air conditioner to divert the air. If it wasn't for this I would have rated our stay a 5. The breakfast in the restaurant the following morning was excellent. I would recommend this hotel and would stay there again if we are in the area again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Chain hotel but done well"
Yes it's a chain hotel but the service and surprisingly the food make the stay better than you might expect. Room was very clean and well equipped but no in-room safe. Altogether, perfectly OK and well located for Boston Logan airport and Salem area.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great spot for a weekend wedding"
Other than a 10am fire alarm, nothing bad. Room clean and comfortable.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel, centrally located"
This Marriott has nice facilities, quiet rooms, and comfortable beds!!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Just another hotel"
Just another hotel, nothing special. It was clean, the staff were pleasant, and the location very convenient. Food in the restaurant overprice snit many decent options within a few miles. The included wifi was weak and cut out constantly; I assume the expensive one was better!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"nice place"
easy drive to attractions,nice clean rooms,friendly staffGenuine Expedia guest review
"Accommodates business and family trips"
Hotel staff very friendly and made hotel experience very enjoyable. Hotel rooms very quiet and bed very comfortable. Will come Back in near future. No complaints.Genuine Expedia guest review

We were visiting for 3 days and this hotel had everything. great accommodation, good location and fabulous restaurant. I would recommend to anyone for any occasion. The staff were wonderful and housekeeping did a fabulous job. Top quality, great staff, great priceGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great location"
This is an older property, but well maintained. Clean, neat, and has all the amenities you would require whether on business or pleasure Courteous staff.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great Hotel! Would stay again!"
Very friendly, helpful and accommodating staff. Clean, comfy room. At first we felt that the prices for the restaurant were a bit high. But once we got our food, it was wonderful and clearly well worth it. It reminded us that you get what you pay for. Delicious and, again, great and friendly service. We have stayed in Beverly, MA many times in the past, […] and love our little motor inn there. But this was a delightful, reasonably priced treat. Would stay again, anytime. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Everything was good except our room had a bad odor. It smelled like body odor. We were able to air it out for awhile which helped some but we weren't in the room for all that long. Staff at desk were congenial and helpful with restaurants in the area.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Perfect if you are visiting Boston only 15 min"
It is a great hotel! Very friendly staff!!!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Unfortunate Culmination of Events"
I arrived late and had to call into the back in order to find someone to help me check in. That evening a high school marching band was staying at the hotel, and despite having an off duty police officer on the premises there were still high school students stomping about the hallway, expertly avoiding the loan authority. For the next evening I asked […] if my room would be moved as it was located right outside all of the HVAC units on that side of the hotel. The noise was unbearable and constant. Because there was a wedding/reception no other rooms were available. The following evening the reception was in full swing and several (very loud) inebriated guests carried the party into their room next-door. The following day, housekeeping decided to take the do not disturb off of my door and enter my room despite the fact that I chose not to have them in the room. My closed laptop was open, and my iPad had been turned on. Because of the high tech work I do, I use a surveillance program that turns my camera on and records if the laptop lid is opened unexpectedly. I was able to observe the housekeeping staff rifling through my things. Upon checkout, I mentioned all of these things to the on-duty manager who tried (rather lamely) to offer me a comp to buy me breakfast; at that point I just wanted to leave… My suggestion is, before you book a room at this location, call ahead to inquire about construction, events, or high school marching bands… Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just what we needed."
My only minor complaint was that I thought the breakfast buffet was just a little over priced but the food was great. Other than that it was clean and peaceful and the staff was friendly. We had a relaxing stay. Would definitely stay here again in the future.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Close to relatives"
Very comfortable stay. Bed was comfortable. Room was warm and cozy.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The hotel staff was very couteous and helpful and the restaurant was much better than you would expect in a hotel chain our in the middle of nowhere.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Hotel is a little run down, but staff were great.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Marriott of Peabody"
This was our third hotel in the past 10 days and the quality was very good and it was also the most expensive but not by much. Bedding and mattress were the best of the three and it was very quiet. I felt the prices at their restaurant were a little high but that is the case with many hotel restaurants. Their breakfast buffet was good. I would use them […] again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Very nice hotel, I was highly impressed. Very clean and modern. Stayed one night, wish we could have stayed longer. Would certainly return.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Mediocre at best"
The room furnishings were either cheap or in one case (the floor lamp) rusty and old. The bathroom soap dispenser and tissue holder were very cheap plastic. The restaurant food was mediocre, as was the service. The bed, however, was very comfortable and the bedding attractive. For the price I was disappointed, for I had stayed in a really lovely and […] outstanding hotel two days previous for the same price. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"nice hotel"
Clean and comfortable beds. A little hard with tem regulating, found ourselves pulling blanket on and off often.Genuine Expedia guest review
the hotel was very comfortable. although theres no fridge in the room or microwave so your inticed to go to the resturuant downstairs to eat but it's not worth the price for food. and theres not many places to eat close to the hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"It was not what I expected of a Marriott"
The 1st night in the hotel was a miserable experience. There were holes in the wall, the hotel did not provide me a double bed room as requested, so my sister had to sleep on a roll away bed. We had a late check-in, so when we arrived to find the sheets on the bed were dirty, the staff brought up new sheets and said that I had to change them myself […] because housekeeping was not on staff at that time. At 1am, this is NOT what you want to be doing. I came to the hotel to sleep, and I didn't get much of it that night. The reminder of the stay was nice, they moved us to the a double bed room that was properly cleaned and gave us free breakfast to make up for the 1st night. So overall, just ok. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel for everyone"
I love this hotel. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The hotel was sold out the weekend we went but there was no noise what so ever.Genuine Expedia guest review
I stayed in room 141. There was unpleasent smell in the room like wet rag, urine kind. Very noisy at night on both nights (weddings I guess). Guests should have a reminder in their rooms to stay quiet on the hallways at night. I couldn't sleep due to the noise. The restaurant and the srvice desk was v.good.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The front desk was nice and the room was pretty clean and a good size. We didn't have control of the AC unit in our room which was a little unorthodox and it was a little warmer than we would have liked it to be. Luckily the windows opened up. The fact that check out isn't until 11 and a maid entered my room while my girlfriend and I were sleeping (not […] fully dressed) at 8:30am was just absurd. We had gotten in late because we were at a wedding that night, and to have someone enter your room so early was uncomfortable for everyone involved. So our sleep was a little less than comfortable after that. Overall not bad but maids entering at 8:30am on a Sunday!?!?! come on now Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Review of our stay"
Our stay was great except for the fact that you could hear the folks in the neighboring rooms peeing in the toilet. The noise of the staff parking outside the hotel coming in to work with loud radio and loud talk early in the morning was annoying. The bush at the entrance needs to be trimmed as it is very difficult to see the traffic when in a car. […] Other than that, the staff and hotel was wonderful. Food and drink was overpriced though. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"The Hotel"
Hotel is excellent but room too small for price we had to pay.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Just far enough out of the big city"
Nice clean, comfortable place to stay. Will stay their again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"amazing historical sights, within a few miles."
friendly and helpful service . Really made our stay an enjoyable. Clean rooms, and wonderful bathroom amenites.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good rating, despite numerous problems."
Phone didn't work. I reported that to the front desk and was assured that a tech person would fix promptly. Next day, the phone still did not work. Never was able to retrieve a phone message because phone did not work. Did not receive a statement in my room. Had to get it at front desk upon checkout. Weak toilet waterflow. Toilet clogged. May have […] been too much toilet paper. Don't really know. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Whether you have never surfed before or if you just want to improve your skills, we have the coaching that will enable you to reach your goals. Our instructors will work with you in small groups (4-1 student to instructor ratio), which provide students with more individual attention and a safer environment in which to learn how to surf. So what does it mean to go to a Billabong Surf Camp? Just what you'd expect from the leader in Surfing - free giveaways like t-shirts & dvd's, visits from Billabong pro surfers, and of course, the best surf camp around!
Participants will be broken up into small groups based on their level of experience. The basics will be taught (or quickly reviewed for more advanced students) - we will begin with land lessons that will focus on you learning about the waves and different types of breaks, surfer etiquette and water safety, and the different types of boards and fins. Lastly, before we head out into the water, we will coach you on the proper positioning, balance and pop up techniques on land and then into the surf we go! As the camp progresses, we will get into more intermediate skills, catching waves and controlling your board while learning how to turn and maintain balance on the board. We will also teach you how to further your balance on board while standing on the face as well as how to efficiently and effectively paddle out through the breaking waves. You will learn the differences between riding in the white water and the face. You will also be taught to maneuver the board, turn, and begin to walk up and down the board.
Our instructors are all CPR, First-Aid, lifeguard certified, and ready to teach you the basics of surfing. Each participant will learn about ocean awareness, wave breaks, ocean conditions, safety in and out of the water, wave etiquette, paddling, push up and pop up techniques as well as and balancing.
-This class takes place at Linda Mar Beach (also known as Pacifica State Beach) in Pacifica, CA.-We will meet at the south end of the main beach parking lot, adjacent to the Taco Bell.-Directions from San Francisco: From Interstate 280 South, take the Hwy 1 exit to Pacifica. Continue another 6 miles. After the stoplight at Crespi Drive, look for the entrance to the beach parking area on your right. CLICK HERE FOR A MAP AND DIRECTIONS.
If you need accommodations, Adventure Out recommends the Best Western Lighthouse or the Pacifica Beach Resort in Pacifica. Both are a short walk from the beach. If you would like other reccomendations for different lodging types, please call or email us and we'd be happy to help.
Our instructors are all C.P.R. and First-Aid certified - senior instructors are lifeguard certified. All Adventure Out instructors have a minimum 10 years of experience and are ready to teach you the basics of surfing. Maximum student to instructor ratio is 4:1, average classes are 3:1.
Your clinic will be reserved and paid for ahead of time - there is no need to remit payment at the beach. However, our guides work very hard to show you a good time and do accept gratuities - it is an excellent way to show thanks for a good class.
All equipment needed for surfing is provided by Adventure Out (wetsuit, surfboard, and booties). Come prepared with normal beach items:-Towel-Bathing Suit-Sunscreen-Snacks & Water

Victorious Victoria Boman
- 11-5-2012
Good fortune pursues Stillman College Admissions Director Victoria Boman. Opportunity seems to always be nipping at her heels. Although pundits say that luck follows the well prepared, even when Boman was very young and occasionally unprepared, blessings seemed to track her down.
In her senior year of high school, when a friend asked, "Will you enter the Miss Midfield High School pageant with me," Boman went along just for the fun of it. Near the end of the pageant, after all of the contestants had performed, she recalls that she was sitting in a chair swinging her feet when she was pronounced the winner.
"I was so shocked that I came onto the stage from the side of the curtain –not where I was supposed to enter. I didn't expect to win because the title had always gone to a head cheerleader or a majorette. I was the first African American to be named Miss Midfield High School," says Boman, who, from that point on, was seldom without a crown.
After high school, she attended Stillman. And true to her name, which means victory, she continued to win titles in college. But while winning her first pageant may have been a fluke, she was considerably more prepared for subsequent competitions. In 1997, she joined Sophistication Unlimited. As a member of this dynamic modeling troupe, she developed poise and confidence and began to manifest the Stillman Persona. She was named Miss Sophomore, Miss Sophistication Unlimited and, eventually, Miss Stillman 2000-2001.
Sophistication Unlimited advisor Dr. Sharon Whittaker-Davis, who was her "mom away from home," helped Boman to develop a regal attitude worthy of the crown. "She taught us the importance of realizing who you are and being true to yourself. She taught us not to try to be anyone else, and to have confidence but not arrogance."
"Some people think that the Stillman Persona, or being a Stillman Woman, is about the way you dress. Yes, you are expected to be appropriate, but it is not all about clothing. Being a Stillman Woman is about respect—not only for self, but for others. It's about being accountable to one another and making sure you lead by example," Boman states. "It is not out of place to let a fellow students know 'You can do this.' When I was a student here, I know that some people went to tutoring because I was going to tutoring. Students influence each other. So you're not loud talking. You're not cursing. You're not out in your house shoes and a headscarf. It's also about personality. You're not nasty. You need to be beautiful on the inside and outside, and lead by example."
Conducting herself with dignity and class has definitely worked for Boman. Everywhere she sets her foot, she seems to reap blessings. In her senior year at Stillman, her first professional job found her. "I wasn't even looking for a job. Miss (Jaqueline) Currie arranged a big career fair, and I went because Regions Bank was there offering a special deal. They would deposit twenty dollars in your account if you signed up to bank with them. I was standing in line and a woman from the Board of Education, who was at a table next to the bank's table, asked me to see her when I was done. I initially planned to go to law school, but when I went to her table, she interviewed me on the spot." A second interview with the Board of Education was promptly arranged, and Boman was offered a teaching position.
Boman is not sure why she was singled out. "I had on a suit. That was my nature. Miss Stillman couldn't wear jeans back then," she says. While her professional attire may have made her stand out, her poise, confidence, and joyful smile, which was captured so beautifully in Ebony Magazine's April 2001 Campus Queen's issue, probably didn't hurt.
Her second professional job came to her in an equally fortuitous manner. "A friend who wanted to work in college recruiting invited me to come along for a group interview for prospective college admissions recruiters. We both went and, afterwards, they called and offered me the position," said Boman, who accepted the offer.
She loved being a college recruiter. However, despite her amazing knack for being perpetually in the right place at the right time, at recruiting fairs she kept feeling as though she were standing at the wrong table. Boman would find herself gravitating toward the Stillman booth, and urging prospective students to visit her beloved alma mater. She knew that she needed to return to Stillman. She wanted to "give back" by helping the College to meet its goals. Naturally, a position for an Admissions Director opened and she was hired in 2010.
"I love seeing all the 'babies' coming down the hall. I love having the opportunity to share my story with them, and give them the type of support that I received when I was a student. I know they have busy social lives, but I remind them they are able to do it all and still excel academically. We used to stand in line for a computer when I was a student. We didn't even have a football team; that was just starting the year I graduated. We didn't have half of what we have today. The campus stopped at the Wynn Fine Arts Center. Yet it felt big to us. We knew what student life was about. We went out and we did things on our own. If we wanted a new organization, we would write the constitution and make it happen."
"I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Stilllman. I grew, matured and developed life-long relationships with both my peers and my instructors, and I was extremely well-prepared for graduate school," says Boman, whose office in the Hay College Center is covered with family photos and Stillman memorabilia, including a news clip with President McNealey at her Miss Stillman coronation.
Although she acknowledges that her good fortune is uncanny, Boman believes that preparation trumps luck. "It's about being prepared," she says. "Students today have everything at their fingertips. There is no excuse not to be prepared."

Weed-FS is a simple and highly scalable distributed file system. There are two objectives: to store billions of files, and to serve the files fast! Instead of supporting full POSIX file system semantics, it implements only a key-file mapping. Instead of managing all file metadata in a central master, it manages file volumes in the central master and lets volume servers manage files and the metadata. This relieves concurrency pressure from the central master and spreads file metadata into volume servers' memories, allowing faster file access with just one disk read operation. It is modelled on Facebook's Haystack design paper. Only 40 bytes of disk storage are required for each file's metadata, and disk reads are O(1).

Heart Health
Heart disease affects people from all walks of life. It's the leading cause of death in the U.S. The difference between life and death can depend on how quickly a person is treated.
What is heart disease?
Heart disease is also known as coronary artery disease. It occurs when the heart muscle does not get enough oxygen-rich blood flowing freely to your heart, brain, legs and every part of your body. Fatty deposits (cholesterol) build up in the arteries over time. The deposits block the arteries. The arteries can become more narrow and rough. When this happens, blood can't flow through easily. This buildup causes angina and can weaken the heart.
When the heart muscle does not get enough blood and oxygen, symptoms such as pain in the chest, arm or neck area may occur. If an artery becomes completely blocked, part of the heart muscle begins to die from lack of oxygen. This is a heart attack.

Are Tougher Regulations Needed for Money Market Funds?

Former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins on whether money market funds need further regulations.

-- held belief that money market funds are safe way for individual investors to stash their cash.
But on Capitol Hill today SEC -- Mary Schapiro testifying before the senate banking committee.
Expressing reasons for concern.
Money market funds may not be.
As safe as you think joining me now former SEC commissioner Paul Atkins founder and CEO of -- -- global partners.
Welcome back to the show it's always great to have you here Paul.
-- before we get into this hearing.
With the SEC commissioner I I want to ask you about what's going on today with Moody's downgrading fifteen banks and one of the issues that's come up this afternoon is.
Might this impact money market finds in any way.
Should individual investors be paying attention to this.
Well I don't think it's gonna affect many markets and mutual funds I mean some of them could be holding paper these banks but.
The paper's very short term and you -- it's not like these banks are declared insolvent or anything so.
The impact of that movie on the backs there as borrowers because often pay perhaps a bit more money to a -- their money.
Our eight wells that that's that's it that makes me feel a little bit better anyway -- -- how does it it's not to have.
Rooms that are well -- from your lips to God's -- I -- talk a bit about Mary Schapiro and her testimony today she seems to be indicating an.
I you know I think this is critical for individual investors because we all have money market funds.
She says as many as 300 different funds have had to backstop those funds they face may be breaking the buck.
You put -- dollar into money market fund is supposed to get a dollar back they had to support those funds.
Over several decades here's what she had to say -- -- get you to respond.
Two years ago we -- the SEC passed a series of measures to increase the resiliency of money market funds.
By instituting liquidity standards reducing maturities and improving credit quality but while these steps have been widely hailed.
I said -- is still believe that more needs to be done.
That's because -- incentive to Iran clearly remains.
So Paul what do you say is there a threat of Iran on these funds.
No I don't think so and I guess my response to chairman is where's the beef.
She is citing this internal SEC study but we haven't seen it and so she talks about.
300 funds over the last forty years that with a sponsor has had to step in.
To some extent we don't know what that means.
And that can be a lot of things that doesn't necessarily mean they were.
Are ready to break the buck -- can be all sorts of things -- the sponsors substituting paper or before one talk for another because of liquidity reasons are.
Where there -- whole bunch away.
Those companies went out of business I mean that was the issue for some of those banks.
And her testimony which had a chance to read this afternoon some of the banks -- -- yeah.
Only one.
There was only well there was only one money market mutual fund that did break the dollar but investors got 99 -- -- I'm back.
And then her measure is whether they had trouble are not not whether they went out of business obviously but I.
But then I think she needs to show us what her back -- -- what she has not done yet at all.
-- so she's saying that we need more regulation I -- you think now.
Brought -- -- but she went through and in 2010.
She basically.
The commission.
Put in much more strict standards and respect money market funds.
And those of a lot of the last two years.
Seem to have held up very well through some pretty turbulent times in the marketplace.
Paul Paul as a practical matter.
You -- you look at this market place -- an individual investors is also a lot of companies that that park money in and money market funds to but individual investors think these things.
It's like putting money in the bank in a mattress they think that.
There's no way they'll ever lose any money and I think maybe.
The promises made be too big do you agree.
No well in -- I don't because if you look at the disclosure.
All of these prospectuses it's very clear this is an investment you could lose money it's a mutual fund and and people are going there because.
It's safe it's managed there's a good history of not that these things not to going belly up if -- chairman -- really thinks is a problem that investors don't understand that.
And that is a disclosure issue which the SEC.
Has four priority.
To go and change.
-- well you know -- it's always great to have you on the show thanks for helping us out tonight.

Down East 2013 ©
By Nancy Heiser
Photograph Courtesy Ski Museum of Maine
If you've ever skied at Sugarloaf, you've seen the badges: Sugarloafer since fill in the blank. Most of the staff wears them. Some guests do, too. The practice denotes loyalty, inspires conversation, and creates a community among the folks who live or visit in the valley of the cold mountain.
My badge, if I had one, would read "Sugarloafer since 1972." But it was a random visit to the resort in 1973 that changed my life.
That January was "colder than a witch's tit," as some Colby guys I knew used to say when the weather got particularly rough in Waterville. It was also Jan Plan, the month between semesters when you took one course, or signed on for an internship, or traveled for four weeks and kept a journal — for college credit. Jan Plan was also a good opportunity to fit in some downhill skiing.
Midway through the month, I exited campus for a day trip to Sugarloaf, hitching a ride with a group from my dorm. After a few glorious runs that morning, the guys were so excited by the skiing that they intended to stay the night, crashing on some floor somewhere, not a toothbrush or change of clothes among them. But first, they'd knock back a few frosty ones at the Red Stallion.
Where did that leave responsible and studious me — a pitiful sophomore with no cash, no sleeping bag, no interest in an evening of debauchery, and a class to get to the next day? Looking for a ride home.
I headed to the lodge for lunch. A tall, skinny guy with flyaway hair down to his shoulders carried a tray to an empty spot by the window. "Hi, um, you look familiar. Do you go to Colby?" I asked, thinking, "please say yes."
Smile. Affirmative. Yes, he was going back that day, and yes, he had room in his car. He had come to the mountain by himself. I could travel back to campus with him. Relief.
We spent the afternoon riding the gondola (back in the day when there was a gondola, and it went all the way to the top), carving turns, and trying to impress. Then we drove back. We had a nice talk, he dropped me off at my dorm. End of story. Almost.
Did he want some gas money for the trip, I asked? Yes, he would. Oops. Miscalculation. I had no cash with me. The next day I put two dollars in an envelope and left it in his mailbox. He made a point to visit my dorm to thank me. Long story short, we started seeing each other, and we've been married Sugarloafers since 1979.
It's quite possible that if we'd met in Professor Mizner's "The Literature of Existentialism," say, we'd be nothing more than Miller Library acquaintances.
Fast forward to March 1990. He and I have two children, whose badges, if they had them, would say "Sugarloafer since 1987." My younger sister, newly moved to Maine from Atlanta, is with us for a weekend of skiing. We are sharing a condo with my parents, seventy-somethings visiting the mountain for the first time. It is a three-generation vacation.
That Saturday night my sister stays out late — too late. She slips in at 2 a.m., trying to be quiet, but I am alert enough to notice her pass through the living room. I've been worried about her. She's a grown-up, it's none of my business, but jeesh — you gotta be careful.
"I met a guy," she says. At the Widowmaker Lounge. A local. An impish smile crosses her face.
A month later, she gets her wisdom teeth pulled. And her Sugarloafer since time immemorial arrives in Portland to take care of her. I like this man. He's a keeper. Three years later they get married.
Now they have their own little guy — a Sugarloafer since 1998.
Is there a moral to these slopeside stories? I'm not sure. Perhaps this old chestnut: You never know where or when you'll meet your spouse. Or perhaps this: A day on a cold mountain, more than many other situations, may encourage you to find someone to snuggle up with. For life.

Official attendance numbers for AirVenture 2012 show the number of people through the turnstiles topped 500,000 ... but just barely. EAA president and CEO Rod Hightower said that 508,000 people attended the show adding, "That is a tremendous total considering the intensely hot weather, storms, and struggles in the overall economy."
