By Paul Sutherland | 12 August 2012
(Sen) - Skywatchers have been enjoying the peak of one of the year's best meteor showers this weekend as the Perseids rain down over the Earth providing a natural firework display.
Meteors burn up high in the atmosphere throughout the year as "shooting stars", and despite each being only the size of a grain of sand, together they deposit hundreds of tons of dust in the process.
Now, thanks to a space mission called AIM, scientists have discovered that this dust directly contributes to a mysterious phenomenon that until now has not been terribly well understood - noctilucent, or night-shining, clouds (NLC).
These electric-blue wisps, which produce spectacular rippling patterns at certain times of year, are quite unlike normal weather clouds because they form at a height of around 80km (50 miles) in a zone of the atmosphere call the mesosphere. From northern latitudes they are particularly visible during the sumer months.
The reason they shine is because at this height they still catch the light of the Sun even when it is the middle of the night. Similar displays have been seen from southern hemisphere countries during their summer in the early months of the year.
They have even been observed and photographed from above by astronauts on the International Space Station.
Noctilucent clouds - sometimes called space clouds - were first noticed in modern times in 1885 following the eruption of Indonesian volcano Krakatoa two years earlier. That eruption sent masses of dust and ash high into the atmosphere.
The connection between meteor dust and noctilucent clouds was revealed by NASA's Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere satellite mission (AIM) which was air-launched aboard a Pegasus XL rocket from California in April 2007.
In the following months, the satellite returned data that showed that the ice crystals forming the clouds contained meteoric dust. Mark Hervig, who led the discovery team, said: "Using AIM's Solar Occultation for Ice Experiment (SOFIE), we found that about 3 per cent of each ice crystal in a noctilucent cloud is meteoritic."

James Russell, of Hampton University, and principal investigator of NASA's AIM mission, added: "We've detected bits of 'meteor smoke' embedded in noctilucent clouds. This discovery supports the theory that meteor dust is the nucleating agent around which NLCs form."
This showed that the tiny particles in meteor dust attract molecules of water which assemble as ice crystals, a process called "nucleation". It is a common process in the lower atmosphere, using wind-blown dust to produce rain and snow but would hardly happen without the contribution from the vaporising meteors at the higher altitudes.
In recent years, noctilucent clouds have been seen more frequently and at latitudes further from the poles. It has been suggested that pollution, and in particular the greenhouse gas methane, might be contributing to their appearance as a side-effect of climate change.

Who would want it? It has been the most requested feature from the beginning. Softsled was a product, along with Bobsled and Xsled. It was developed, and was being tested. It was presented in slide shows as part of Microsoft's Digital Living Room and Media Center ecosystem. And, it just makes sense. Why not allow the 300 million+ computers out there licensed with your operating system to access TV content from your DVR software.
But, for some inexplicable reason, Microsoft didn't want it, they killed it, and denied the users of their Media Center product even a modicum of client type functionality, even though it was the most requested feature and would take very little effort if any to implement. Speculating about what the "profit" motive for Microsoft around copies of Softsled alone is nonsensical. They would have made whatever additional profit there was to be made by having a better Media Center product and a more complete offering to sell to their customers.
Part of the Softsled enhancement is now available with Remote Potato, If we could get the DRM issue settled so at least you could play within your own Home Group we would be close to the entire Softsled solution. See: www.missingremote.com/.../shared-guide-potato-updated-version-117
XPS9100, 24 Gig, 4eSata Tower Ceton (SA-800 M) TAs T-W W Valley (LA)--Win7 Pro, 1 XP-Pro, 3-Win7 Hom Prem, 1 Macintosh X (10.4.11), 4-HP 280N extender, Linksys DMA2100, 2-DMA2200 Promise Ns4300 Raid 5
@kingwr I think you missed the point of what I was saying. I was just pointing out that Softsled would have little effect on Windows sales because of the large cost difference between the PC and the extender. So wayner9's theory that Microsoft would see additional income from Windows sales if Softsled were an option is no good. I mean really, give somebody two options for an extender: A $500 PC extender and a $100 regular extender. Now which one do you think they are going to pick? Anybody that would pick the PC has another reason for wanting the PC and just wants Softsled as a bonus so they don't have to buy the extender. That's really the group of people that want Softsled...the people that already have another PC that already has Windows 7 on it and they would like to use that PC as an extender. It's the cheap way out.
And I agree that Softsled makes sense....for consumers. But just because it makes sense for consumers doesn't mean it makes sense for the business. In business, there's only one thing that matters: Making money. You always take the road that leads to the most money. And I can all but guarantee you, that road does not contain Softsled.
Didn't find what you were looking for here? Head over to http://www.thegreenbutton.tv/forums for even more helpful information.
I just wanted to claify that I dont believe there is or would be a need for a "softsled Product." I am hoping they just allow other PC's to be set up as extenders. All you need is the ability for a 2nd PC's media center to be able to share cable card tuners and guide databases. They can already share video's, pics, music, etc... It certainly is something they should be able to add.
Microsoft has already realized they failed in the marketing of media center. The majority of consumers have not hjumped on board. I think (and I am sure everyone on here) that it is just rediculous; however the average consumer is too scared to spend the money on something this compicated. Its too bad that Microsoft wasnt willing to spend the money on a dedicated support team to set up Media Center, they could have owned the media world.
It seems like the same old argument to me.
I wont debate the merits of Softsled or its viability but I find it interesting that a Windows 8 ARM tablet could easily be as secure as an Xbox 360 if done right. Therefore a Windows 8 ARM tablet has the potential to be a portable extender. I don't think Windows 8 ARM tablet will be sold for a loss either. In addition Windows 8 X86 / X64 has elements of Xbox Live as well as game potential possibly sharing the same ecosystem so the ARM version will likely be the same in this respect.
The problem I see with Windows 8 ARM tablets accessing recorded TV isn't necessarily an issue of DRM but rather the likelihood that they would access this recorded TV files wirelessly. In my experience, accessing H.264 based HD files wirelessly can get a little sketchy via 802.11G/N. I use a Hauppauge HD DVR and Hauppauge Colossus PCIe to record DRM free HD / SD and these files can be huge.

Oh dear lord can't we have a thread without all the Win8 drama? I look forward to this and would get one at release if I could afford it.
^^^^ I agree... now if you said "Personal opinion: Windows 8 METRO is crap, tablets or pc..." I would half agree with you... windows 8 is an amazing build of windows, already better than 7 IMHO and the ONLY thing that brings it down is METRO, but you can install "start8" by stardock and to be honest I never know metro is there on my desktop... for touchscreen devices though metro is actually pretty good. I never thought I would say the above but i have and i stick by it because win8 is VERY solid and offers a good upgrade from 7.
My girlfriend has wanted one. She said she wanted something "tablet sized" for portability, but "normal computer-able" so she could run the programs she needs for university. I warned her that battery life wouldn't be fantastic (her current early Atom-powered netbook is terribly slow and doesn't last long on a charge), but she said she's used to being tied down to a wall outlet and could manage. She plans on buying the type cover, but not a mouse (which I think I'll surprise her with). I've always asked her why she didn't think the Surface RT would be good. Sure you can't run x86 apps on it, but how often does she actually need that? I made the mistake of telling her that the Pro would run Zoo Tycoon 1 and 2 without issues. I don't wonder anymore. The price doesn't get along well with my penny-pincher nature, but that aside, I think the Surface Pro is actually quite good. The specs are quite good, the hardware should compliment the new OS (and vice versa).. I think it has a lot going for it. I think the role the Surface Pro has to perform is to show people that Windows 8 isn't bad when you have the right hardware. imo, for traditional keyboard/mouse PCs, Windows 8 needs a "Windows 7 Mode". Edge swipes and corner bumps just don't work well with a mouse. I've found everything except Metro to be absolutely fantastic. I've found Windows 8 to be snappy and responsive. It just seems to have a good.. feel. I don't quite understand Windows 8. I've been getting lost, which isn't something I'd like to admit. It's a bit love/hate.
This is going to be sweet! If anyone hasn't tried messing with a Surface they really should. My dad got his free one before Christmas, and ive been playing with it for a while.
Tried windows 8 tablets at Windows Store here in DC. It is slick and fluid but it is nothing that great for me to jump from my ipad2. I'm not an apple fan, just got an ipad2 for my birthday last year. The only reason I would sell my ipad would be for an SD slot to serve as my photo viewer since I've just bought a NEX 5R. Just bought a camera connection kit. If it doesn't work out then the Surface or Transformer prime may be my next tablet.
AnandTech and only a few other reviewers have hit the nail on the head. I think what people don't understand is that THIS ISN'T A TABLET. It should not be compared to a tablet. It won't always replace a tablet. Tablets are becoming slightly more PC-like, but at the end of the day, the Surface Pro is a keyboard-less ultrabook. By the same logic, we should be comparing graphing calculators to these too.
that is exactly what start8 by stardock does. it boots to desktop, disables hot corners and the start button on the keyboard brings up the start menu instead of metro screen. INSIDE the start menu there is a shortcut to go back to metro so it is still easily accessible but all the annoying "touch" gimmicks for non touch devices are removed with start8, if you haven't tried it give it a shot http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/
Remember Zune? I didn't think so. What we learned from all these years is that M$ cannot compete with Apple products. Especially with this silly price.
:shadedshu Anyone can compete with apple, just be sure you make your devices triangular, or Apple will get you with the patent troll hammer.
I enjoyed the Zune more than the iPod, Apple won that war because of their marketing and gullible buyers. The surface is the real deal, but the battle isn't fought at the quality of the product, it is fought at the marketing of the product.
That and they already had a very large music store (iTunes) in place. Oh how I miss my Zune Microsoft is marketing the shit out of Surface. YouTube ads, TV ads, Walking Dead/Talking Dead sponsored by Windows 8 and Surface, product placement in TV shows. Microsoft is finally starting to push back against Apple.
The way they are marketting though is pretty shitty. To much shit going on in the commercials, unlike Apples marketting where it is simple, and people can see the product and some features of it. No dubstep music and a ton of flashy stuff on the screen. That is one thing I will always credit Apple with. How good their marketting is.
Where I live there's no marketing, no availability, no nothing. Surface RT is non-existent and the Pro will likely be the same ghost. We're not part of the 14 markets. I live in a country which is part of the other hundred and so markets where Win8 was launched. On the other hand Apple is all over the place. But again, this is not about Apple. Surface RT is against Apple and all the Android devices. Surface Pro is in competition with OEMs who offer touch devices running Win 8. And it's not a tablet, it's a laptop in a totally different form factor. Let's call it LAPLET.
I've used a Surface, it works quite well. Don't be bashing on it due to not having used it on a tablet/touchscreen device. I do agree that on normal hardware (read non-touchscreen) we should be using Win7.
no! apple is crap! win8 is crap! linux is too hard and no games! windows 7 is perfect forever and ever!!
the ipad is around 800$ no? and its a pad . this is a pc in a pad's form ... not the same product.... different market , but i know 1 thing EVERYBODY want to have office suite on their freekin tablet ... you mean Windows XP forever and ever!! (yes my boss still use windows xp on a imac and he hates windows 7 ) lol i have tried a samsung atom tablet with windows 8, except the problem with drivers , once all is updated its really nice , finally a product tablet sized , where i can run all of my windows software on.... no need to buy other software , and sync it to pc and all this shit... this is going to replace a lot of low end pc at home. (and medium end)
I don't think even microsoft really understands what it is. Even with metro they were like: "What the hell is it, sir?" - "I don't friggin know, they wanted touch so there it is. It's different." "Won't they just use the Start menu like always?" - "Good point, Andersen. Better get rid of that menu altogether, and get rid of the option to disable that 'metro', whatever it is"
I like windows 8 the start menu what this start menu never really used it just like i dont use the start screen who needs ether and i have been wait for this to come out when do you think it will hit aus?
It's a touch interface, I don't really see the problem. And as a touch interface, it works pretty good. The main problem is that it has two UI's and you're being thrown between them. Classic Windows desktop mode doesn't really work for touch (it does work but not good enough), Metro doesn't work very well with multiple high-res monitors, but having two separete versions of Windows wouldn't work either because we want standard desktop programs to work with it. Given how much of a mess the situation is I think it's a pretty good attempt.
That is the problem right there! You said it yourself. I don't think any attempt where your average user can spend 15 minutes using it and come up with suggestions to make the product substantially better is 'good'. To me it reeks of schedule cutbacks... like they were designing this really good touch interface and ran out of time, and then basically had to slap it on to whatever they had to get it out the door. Ultimately that affects the surface, which I think MS fully intended to be a 'tablet', but as people have pointed out, it really isn't... It is a slate PC with windows 8, complete with a too-long-for-a-tablet aspect ratio, and an OS that will throw you to the classic desktop every time it runs into a non metro app.

If you are looking for luxury hotel, this is not the one, however most of St Pete area is pretty old, so this hotel is considered one of the top in the... area. The beach is amazingly white and clean, the slide is a vary good additional fun specially with the family and kids. The peddling boat in the resort is nice. I would really recommend it for the families, and couples who are looking for beaches away from the college party beaches. As we went on Thanksgiving break, we couldn't swim that much in the sea because of the cold winds, so its better to go in spring or summer. the have pizza hut express in the lobby area with 3 times the prices, so to avoid that, there is couple of italian and local pizza restaurants away better than pizza hut and cheeper.

Recipe by CKINCAID1
"My dear Grammie was making gingerbread one morning and my brother and I arrived, starving! She altered the recipe slightly, put it on the grill and the result is this delicious recipe. The smell of it cooking always takes me back to that morning -- mmmmmm!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground dried ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup molasses
1 1/2 cups water
I read through the reviews very carefully before making this, which I think was my first mistake. I usually don't do that and fly by the seat of my shorts. I doubled the recipe so I could freeze some for busy mornings, added more baking powder for a fluffier pancake, doubled the spices and added nutmeg and allspice and I cut the water down to two cups, as a lot of people mentioned that the batter was way too wet. My pancakes were pretty thick and fluffy but they were a pain to cook. The spices I doubled and added were perfect, it's just that maybe cutting back the liquid to two cups was too much? Next time, I'll cut it back only a half cup and I think it might be perfect. It really does need the extra baking powder for a fluffier pancake. That being said, tasty pancake. Even with my flub-up's, this recipe made 15 large pancakes when doubled. Out of the 15, I had three leftover. My boys loved them. I had a small bite of one and thought it was mighty tasty. My son actually remarked that "these are the best pancakes EVER, Mom".
I really liked the idea of these. We LOVE gingerbread at our house. I read the reviews and used heaping measuring spoons of the spices. I also reduced the water by 1/4 cup and added more baking powder. They tasted good, but were really thin. I will try them again usin gonly 1 cup of water and see if that helps.

Very good recipe. I didn't have molasses, so I substituted it with 3 Tbsp firmly packed brown sugar. My husband loved it!
Delicious gingerbread taste. Smelled and tasted amazing. The only reason that this is not a 5 star recipe is because they came out a little flat. I like my pancakes a little fluffier. I'll keep the spices, vanilla and molasses and try to alter the recipe for a fluffier result next time. Will definitely keep working on this recipe though, because it was a hit with my ginger-living husband!
everyone loved them!!!! These were fantastic, I followed the recipe exactly
not bad, i added 2 TBSP of brown sugar and another 1/2 tsp of baking powder. made the house smell like christmas morning.
Doubled recipe, reduced water by 1/2 cup overall and added a pinch more spices. These were great!
Mmm, delicious! Thanks CKincaid1! The flavor was exactly what we'd hoped for. We reduced the water to 1 c. and I wish we hadn't. They were a little too thick. Excellent with whipped cream, maple syrup, bananas and strawberries. Or by themselves!

Sushi is very well presented and flavorful. A tremendous selection is available. Large dining room (unusual for a sushi place) for privacy while dining. The pricing is very good (at least compared to the MD/DC/VA area).

We've eaten here twice and both time we had very fresh and tasty sushi. The owner is very hands on and very active with customers. The servers are attentive and quick with water, refills, and other requests. The sushi was priced very fairly. We'll be back and recommend this restaurant to all sushi fans!

The Sixth Sense
Screenplay : M. Night Shyamalan
MPAA Rating : PG-13
Year of Release : 1999
Stars : Bruce Willis (Malcolm Crowe), Haley Joel Osment (Cole), Toni Collette (Lynn Sear), Olivia Williams (Anna Crowe), Donnie Wahlberg (Vincent Gray), Mischa Barton (Kyra Collins), Trevor Morgan (Tommy Tommisimo)
M. Night Shyamalan's "The Sixth Sense" is about a little boy named Cole who has been bestowed with a terrible gift: the ability the see dead people. He sees them walking around everywhere, and most of them are unaware that they are dead. Many of them are angry, such as an abused housewife who eventually slit her wrists; some of them are sad, such as a little girl who spent the last two years of her life wasting away in sickness, or a teenage boy who accidentally shot himself with his father's gun.
But, one of the virtue's of writer/director Shyamalan's film, which is something of a romantic horror story, is that these ghosts are not seen for the first hour of the film. And, when we do get to see them, they are presented with frightening simplicity. All one needs to do is compare the consistent effectiveness of "The Sixth Sense" with the wobbly, off-and-on effectiveness of the big-budget FX extravaganza, "The Haunting." Shyamalan's ghosts, when they do appear, are both ghastly and pathetic, and you can see why a 10-year-old boy would be so terrified of them.
Before diving headlong into the visual horrors of the story, Shyamalan develops the relationship between Cole (Haley Joel Osment) and a child psychiatrist, Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis), who is dealing with his own problems. At the beginning of the film, one of Dr. Crowe's former child patients (Donnie Wahlberg) breaks into Dr. Crowe's house and shoots him before committing suicide, claiming that Dr. Crowe let him down as a child. After this tragic event, Dr. Crowe is no longer the same, and the relationship with his wife (Olivia Williams) deteriorates to the point that they are almost strangers.
When Dr. Crowe meets Cole, he begins to sense similarities between the young boy and the distressed man who shot him. Could they both have been afflicted with the same ability? Dr. Crowe, being a rational doctor, tries to explain Cole's paranoia and visions of the paranormal with medical reasoning, but it doesn't work. It isn't until he believes in Cole that he can help the boy.
"The Sixth Sense" is the third feature from India-born writer/director M. Night Shyamalan. I have not seen his previous work, but the strength of this film speaks a great deal about his talent and future potential. His screenplay and direction slowly build the suspense and horror; he isn't in a rush to get there, and when he pulls the final rug out from under you in the last five minutes, it has been worth the deliberate set-up and ominous pacing.
"The Sixth Sense" is a unique, frightening movie that is never gratuitous or obvious. It uses the same kind of terror in everyday surroundings created the chills in "Rosemary's Baby" (1968) and "The Exorcist" (1973). The film takes place in Philadelphia, and a scene in Cole's school establishes the fact that it is an old city with a great deal of history; in other words, there are ample opportunities to find lost souls still wandering the streets, ranging from people who died only moments ago in a car wreck to accused witches who were hung back in the 16th century.
In the starring role, Bruce Willis works well as Dr. Crowe. For me, he may not have been the best choice for the role, perhaps because I still have lingering memories of his awful turn as another psychiatrist in the atrocious "Color of Night" (1994). Still, he plays the part with dignity and a sympathetic ear, and he is never distracting. Toni Collette is also quite good as Cole's mother, a recently divorced woman who is torn because her child is suffering (both mentally and physically--apparently the angry ghosts can hurt Cole), and she doesn't know how to help him.
However, the actor who is most memorable here is 11-year-old Haley Joel Osment, who has already starred in 14 movies and TV shows. There are so many pitfalls for child actors in lead roles, and Osment manages to side-step all of them. He is completely and utterly convincing as Cole, a little boy who has spent his entire life terrified by what he can see that others cannot. He makes us believe in both his ability to see ghosts, and in his relationship with Dr. Crowe, both of which are essential to the movie's success.
Osment turns Cole into a warm and tangible character; he delivers many of his lines in a tired, hushed voice that speaks to his weariness in life, and he never falls into cutesiness to get sympathy. Had Osment not been so good as Cole, "The Sixth Sense" could have easy buckled and fallen apart. But, with his strong central performance and Shyamalan's careful direction, the movie emerges as smart, entertaining, and frightening.

The waves were small today, 2-3ft but on my last wave of the day, I fell off backwards and some how the board turned to the side and the fin slid down my left inner arm, completely slashing open the wetsuit!
The fin barely grazed my arm and I saw blood. Thankfully, it was a 3 inch long - deep scratch that was bleeding, no stitches needed.
1. How can I make sure this never happens again?
2. Can I get some softer fins or should I get a foam board?
3. How can I repair my wetsuit.
At least it was the wetsuit and not my arm was split open.
(By the way, it took me forever to find a lifeguard to get a bandage, maybe a good idea to keep that in the car.)

The hotel was as described with unique decorations but almost gothic/alice and wonderland like and very dark rooms. It was located near an underground station and convenient it you were going to stay in that neighborhood, though the neighborhood was mostly middle eastern culture and food. I felt safe and fine being there, just didnt read about the types of restaurants in any other reviews. It was not the type of food and neighborhood I was looking for. The shower water temperature was either freezing or scalding. The continental breakfast was fine: croissant, muffin, cereal, and juice. The beds felt like they were from my grandma's time and squeaked every time you moved an inch, could use replacing. I would not return based on the neighborhood, room size, price, and location combination.

Nearly fell over when entering this place on the 1st day. The front step is very dangerous and needs repair badly. Sometimes covered with an equally dangerous loose plank! Or a dirty towel! The rooms here are lovely, it is quirky and colourful, a lovely looking boutique hotel. Close to the tube and handy for central London and the sights. The reception area (where the staff hang out) is so cosy and hot. However, the rest of the building is Siberian, including the attitude of the reception staff. The Pavilion's website is out of date because this place is clearly no longer the fun it once was! It is NOT A HOTEL, it is just an over-priced bed and breakfast. There is no bar, no dining or sitting room. The most miserable, nasty, so-called continental breakfast I have ever been offered, left on a tray on the floor outside my room. And they are very mean here with the coffee, tea, milk, etc. in the room, which I was expected to drink from a tiny, dolly's tea cup! And all you get is 1 tiny piece of soap in the bathroom which is not replaced each day! My room was incredibly cold at night (November) and when I asked for the radiator to be switched on, they said 'OK' but nothing happened. I was so cold at night that I slept in my day clothes! (And I live by the sea on the chilly and blustery East Coast) It is a lovely quiet location, it could be so wonderful here - and obviously once was! Spoiled now by clueless, greedy, mean-spirited owners, and totally selfish, lazy reception staff. Why bother guys? Give up!

The staff was very nice. The rooms were clean. The hotel was quiet. It is an older hotel so it does show it age in spots but overall a very nice reasonable stay.Expedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

"Simple yet nice at a good price"
We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was comfortable and nice at an affordable price. The breakfast they provided was a bit more simple and sparse than the typical 'continental breakfast,' but it was still something. The refrigerator and microwave in the room were very helpful. Although it was nice to have the laundry machines available (although […] still coin-operated), there were only two sets of washers and dryers, so it was sometimes difficult to find a time when they were not running. Staff was courteous and helpful, so it was a good fit for my husband and I as we house-hunted for a few days before moving in to our new home. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ
Management was very nice in accomodating date change and early check in. Parking lot could have been shoveled better & snowy entry to rooms. Room was spacious with valted ceiling.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Good cheap hotel"
Not the fanciest place but the room was clean and spacious. WIFI is inadequate for a business traveler. I was dropped a couple times. The complimentary breakfast was sparse. If you are looking for a cheap place to lay your head then this is place is ok. If you are looking for luxury then this is not the place. The service was friendly and informative. […] There are three very good restaurant/pubs within walking distance. That was a bonus because there was a snowstorm during my stay and not having to drive in it was a relief. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

Front Desk folks very pleasant & helpful. They are always willing to please. Back rooms seem better than front since they are quieter; however, noise was not an issue.

While the rooms were basic, the staff brought them over the top with their courtesy, friendliness, and efforts to please. When we arrived after midnight, and very hungry from a long trip, all the restaurants in town were closed and they made sure we found a pizza place that delivered to the hotel. There is the most outrageously delicious Italian bakery […] within five minutes, as well as other local markets. As we left, they came up to our car to make sure everything was as we needed and then even chased after our car to let us know that a jacket had been left behind in the room.

"Classic Suites"
We were happy, overall, with the hotel. The common areas are to undergo some renovations but we were impressed that they had been maintained as well given the legacy carpeting, etc. Staff seemed to take pride in their job which is an unusual characteristic today. The adjoining restaurant was a VERY good choice for two consecutive dinners (unexpected.)

If we are in that area again we will definitely consider staying there. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Non-Smoking Room - Not"
Requested a non-smoking room. Was told I was in a non-smoking room. The Lobby reeked of smoke as though smoking in the lobby must be common. The continental breakfast was to be served in the lobby. The hotel room smelled strongly of a cleaner when we entered the room and within a few minutes the unmistakable odor of old cigarette smoke completely overtook […] us. It was so difficult to relax and sleep in the room with the horrible smell. If it weren't so late we would have left to find somewhere else but we needed to sleep before our morning conference in the area. We declined the free breakfast as we could not eat in the smoke filled space. We were so disappointed in this hotel. We did not say anything to them because we saw no point. If they believe they can present such a room as non-smoking, nothing I was going to say would make any difference. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"25 year old pictures-also how long since repair"
Start with the pictures on the internet are from 25 years ago. The approach to the office is full of pot holes and no grass, the boards on the overhang at the office were hanging down and missing, but I pressed on thinking it cant be all bad, HA. The room had two corners of the carpeting shredded like a dog dug up 14" of it, the wall paper was hanging […] off the wall over the dresser, black skuff marks on the wall over the TV, mold in the un-scrubbed floor in the bathroom(un-scrubbed for many years, with a build up of black/grey crud), garbage was not emptied daily, BUT, to say something good, they did make the bed everyday. If I didn't pay in advance (and no refund) I would have left ASAP. The sheets were also clean, but, if you put lipstick on a pig, its still a pig!!

Nice wildcard playoff game by the New York Giants today. New York's defense twice stopped the Falcons on fourth-and-short and got 173 yards rushing from its league-worst running game to notch its third straight victory and first home playoff win since 2000.
Eli Manning threw three touchdown passes - including a pair to Hakeem Nicks - and his defense did the rest as the New York Giants churned out a workmanlike 24-2 victory over the visiting Atlanta Falcons in an NFC wild card game Sunday.
Atlanta (10-7), with Matt Ryan, Michael Turner and Roddy White all healthy, went one-and-out of the playoffs for the second straight season,

Integrated Treatment Services LLC relocates
Substance abuse can be a touchy subject, but for the Sallis family they deal with it every day. When the opportunity arose for them to purchase their own building it was an easy choice. Terry Sallis is the executive director for Integrated Treatment Services LLC and has been proudly helping Newton for a number of years.
"We have been in the Center for Arts & Artist building since 2004, and we had several therapist there, but they were in different sections," Sallis said. "We wanted everyone in the same section, and we wanted to own our own building."
He is excited about the new location, because the building is not shared by anyone. Before Integrated Treatment Services shared their building with about eight businesses.

When video came out a couple of weeks ago in which he called Jews "apes and pigs" (which the Qur'an calls them in three places, 2:63-65, 5:59-60, and 7:166), Morsi said he was quoted "out of context." Now it looks as if he is going to have more contextual issues.
"Egypt's Morsi in 2010: Obama Insincere; We Must Nurse Our Children and Grandchildren on Hatred of Jews," from MEMRI, January 16 (thanks to Voice of the Copts):
Following are excerpts from an address delivered by Mohamed Morsi, which was posted on the Internet on January 10, 2010.Mohamed Morsi: One American president after another – and most recently, that Obama – talks about American guarantees for the safety of the Zionists in Palestine. [Obama] was very clear when he uttered his empty words on the land of Egypt. He uttered many lies, of which he couldn't have fulfilled a single word, even if he were sincere – which he is not.
Dear brothers, we must not forget to nurse our children and grandchildren on hatred towards those Zionists and Jews, and all those who support them. They must be nursed on hatred. The hatred must continue.

So true :shadedshu That's why I never get the cheapest product that will do, I always get something a bit higher up
Remember what happend the last time my rig stopped? I'm running -bigadv on the other one with the good RAM and I'm not going to lose two in 24 hours.
Aha, I thought that was BSOD-induced. But I guess it can't hurt to be too cautious :shadedshu Best of luck...maybe OCed too far?
It means you run a leet system lul... idk though mine says 1:07? My 275 says 0:53 maybe it has to do with productivity on the project?
You got part one of your questions taken care of by of vice Capitano. Yes - 0:37 is good. My 460 is at 0:50 and my 450 is at 1:16 (same project as you are running, don't listen to the 260/275 guys they are running a different project)
Mine is at 36sec. Have you reached your final clocks? The more I read up on other people OCing the more I want to attempt 800/1600.
Once again it pays off having a good relationship with the Man upstairs. Sent my 260 in for RMA a while ago after I eventually found out it was faulty not my mb. They phoned today to say they can't fix it so swopping it out for a new 460. Free upgrade!!
I haven't been able to check anything yet. When I boot it up, I put everything under load. It's fine so far, all I did was load defaults, the only thing I can think of is that I had it at stock/undervolted and it was too low as far as volts, but i don't remember if I had it undervolted or not. It's a default voltage now, so far so good.
XFX. But that could just be the local agents who are so on the ball. Saying which, when I sent my EVGA mb in as I originally thought that was faulty, the agents actually asked me to send in my processor and memory so they could check it themselves. They could have quite easily just sent it back as it wasn't faulty.
ive been to 850/1700/1700 on my top card,im not sure if the 470 i got from bog can do it so i havent tried. It took me 1.1v to hit the above clocks and it was on water so heat wasnt an issue..I miss water especially when folding 24/7
Hi everyone. Just sold my 9800gx2 and my gtx 260. I needed the money, and anyway wanted to refresh my folding rig. So after a 18000 ppd cut (one damn big ouch!), managed to get my hand on a gt 430 for 45$. Just can't pass on that right? So i checked a bit and found that i can get around 6-7 thousands ppd for this card, and it could clock in the 800mhz range. So is anybody here who's folding with a Zotac gt 430?
Wow, that's amazing!!! Best of luck, I hope it remains stable Well, I'm sorry to see the cards go :/ I've seen the GT430 get as little as 5k PPD on the 611pt WUs, but up to 10k on the 9XXpt ones If you can get one or more 450s at some point in the future, that would be cool
Wow. From 5000 to 10000, that's quite a range. Looks like the client could use some optimization. Yes it's sad to say goodbye to a card that had folded over 4000 WUs (9800GX2). I don't like the price of the gts 450. I could not find one for less than 130$ new and used they are still pretty rare. But i'm now leaning more toward a gtx 470 or 460. In maybe 10 days, i'll have 200$ to spend on a new folding card. Hope i'll be able to get my hands on a used gtx 470 at that price. Otherwise i'll go the 460 road.
Wow just saw an Asus gtx 465 for less than 200$ (by a hair at 197, but still!). Is the ppd gain going to outweight the high temps (?) over a gtx 460? Wish i could get my hands on a gtx 275 co-op... 13000-14000 stable ppd...

Tanners prepare for Ryman Premier opposition after taming the Terrors in the FA Cup
11:03am Monday 2nd September 2013 in Sport By Rod Ellis
Leatherhead booked themselves a home FA Cup tie against Carshalton Athletic after a hard-earned 1-0 preliminary round win against Tooting & Mitcham United.
Paul Semakula broke the deadlock for the hosts with a stunning first half strike, lobbing Terrors keeper Paul Smith from the edge of the box.
The visitors' had the best chances in the first half but they came up against a resolute Tanners defence who have yet to concede a goal at Fetcham Grove this season.
Tooting's Ryan Palmer made a telling run down the right after three minutes, finding Craig Watkins with a well-directed pass.
But the young striker's shot was saved by Leatherhead keeper Deren Ibrahim, diving low to his right.
Watkins was the Terrors' danger man again after 17 minutes, getting beyond Jerry Nnamani before the young Leatherhead centre back recovered possession to make a well timed interception.
Tanners took the lead after 26 minutes with a breakaway from the half way line. Tom Bradbrook fed the ball down the middle and Semakula cleverly drew Smith off his line before coolly looping a shot over the keeper's head to find the top corner.
Leatherhead created several opportunities to build on their lead in the second half. Kev Terry turned a ball back from the by-line for Bradbrook, who forced Smith to turn the ball behind for a corner.
Darren Smith found himself through on goal after 49 minutes but his low effort was well blocked by the Tooting keeper.
The visitor's best chance came on the hour mark as a long range effort from TJ Nkoma took a deflection before being gathered by Ibrahim.
Leatherhead continued searching for a decisive second goal. A Matt Smart free kick was met in the box by Jamie Coyle, but the centre back's powerful header went straight to Smith.
Jake Hobbs injected some additional pace for Tanners following his second half introduction. Hobbs drilled in a cross from the right which Kev Terry sent narrowly wide.
Terry then picked out Smart after 76 minutes, but the Leatherhead midfielder smashed his low shot wide of the post.
Tussle: Tanners Liam Pestle and Terrors Elliot Simpson
Tumble: Sol Pinnock could not find a way past the Tanners defence
Hold off: Nathan Gordon holds off the attentions of Jerry Nnamami
Blank: TJ Nkoma scored a hat-trick last weekend, but nothing this time round
Save: Tooting's Paul Smith pulls off a save from the advancing Leatherhead attack
Up and at them: Striker and keeper up for the ball
Safe hands: Tooting's Paul Smith
Concentration: Tom Parkinson moves possession forward for the Tanners
Out of the cup: Despite Jordan Williams' best efforts, Tooting's FA Cup dream is over
Heads up: Leatherhead's Tom Bradbrook
Tackled: Matt Smart stops Sol Pinnock in his tracks
None shall pass: Nathan Gordon cannot get past Adam Burchell
Odd: Tanners keeper Deren Ibrahim has his shorts tugged down by a 'fan'....
...picks up a yellow card for this troubles
Get in: Leatherhead celebrate a win in the FA Cup

Seagate has been one of the popular brands as far as computer peripherals and accessories are concerned. Recently the company announced their Momentus XT Solid State Hybrid Drives in capacities of 250GB, 320GB, 500GB and 750GB. With SSDs and HDDs in the market, these Solid State Hybrid Drives (SSHDs) aim to get the best of both worlds. Let's have a look at how the Momentux XT 750GB performs. The Momentus XT Design and Features The Momentus XT looks like any other laptop drive. It doesn't have much to boast of, and anyway, internal drives are more about performance, than design. From the 750GB of memory, 698GB is available to the user and the disk runs at 7200 rpm with 32 MB of cache memory. This hybrid drive aims to give you the speeds comparable to SSDs with capacities closer to HDDs. Let's have a look at the real world performance in the next section Best of both worlds? Performance We put the XT through its paces in our synthetic and real world tests. In SiSoft Sandra, the drive got a drive index of 93 MB/s at a random access time of 14.67ms. The write performance was 82 MB/s with 10.57ms as the random access time. CrystalDiskMark 3.0 gave a sequential read and write score of 115 MB/s. Random 512KB read gave a speed of 57.39 MB/s, while a Random 4K QD32 write got a speed of 2.199 MB/s. In HDTach, we got an average read speed of 97.7 MB/s and a burst speed of 456.6 MB/s In our real world test, the Momentus got a pretty good sequential read speed of 105 MB/s, while transferring 4GB of data. Random write speeds got a score of 95 MB/s. Interpartition speeds had a respectable score, too. The complete results are given below. The real world scores Verdict The Seagate Momentus XT is priced at 10,000 + taxes (MOP). It's a neat performer, as there's a good balance between capacity and speed. Currently 500GB HDDs for laptops are retailing at a price tag of approximately 6,000 and keeping that in mind, the XT may be just a couple of grands above the bar. For that price though, you're getting a much better performance than your average HDD. If you're on the lookout for a 750GB high perfomance drive, then the Momentus XT is definitely worth a look. |

How We Test
The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There's a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they're buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.
Build Quality
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn't fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.
Value for money comes from the fact that a cheap product is able to provide most of the performance of a higher priced product. Once again, value for money is judged by comparing pricing and performance of products in a particular price range or category.
There are many other aspects of the product that are looked at such as the bundled software and accessories. All of these scores are aggregated together to form the final score.
What do the ratings mean?
Ratings are simple - higher the score, the better the product. A brief listing of the features and what they mean are given below.
1 - 3
The product is bad in almost every aspect. We strongly advise against purchasing this product.
4 - 6
An average product that isn't the best you can buy, but isn't the worst either.

NEW YORK (AP) - Allegations of possible mortgage fraud against major financial institutions are forcing government officials to weigh options, including a possible freeze on foreclosures.
Housing analysts have watched as the once-staid world of back-office bank procedures has spawned a scandal that threatens to further unhinge the housing market.
Senior White House adviser David Axelrod acknowledges it's a "serious problem" but questions the need for a blanket halt to all foreclosures but the idea has gained traction in some quarters.
There are allegations many foreclosures have been accompanied by forged documents, phantom titles, disappearing paper trails and faked Social Security numbers.
The list of banks suspending at least some foreclosures is growing. This week, the attorneys general of up to 40 states are expected to announce a joint investigation.
