Seriously, for you out-of-towners, if going for burgers, go In-And-Out Burgers. Heck try both Jack-in the Crack and In-And-Out. But me being a resident, In-And-Out Burgers are best hands down. Ken confirms too.
Due to several complaints, I will stop using the terms "Babe" and "Baby" in reference to our female counterpart. They will now be replaced with "B*tch."

I've actually never heard of this apparently highly acclaimed "Jack in the Box". Where is this exactly? Weird. Anyway, I'll vote for, uh, my own food. Oops, misinterpreted "fast food" for "fat food". I mean, I'll vote for Jack in the Box, not that I know what it is. Sounds like an interesting place.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. -Albert Einstein
i know "in & out" was mostly a california thing, but i didn't know jack was also a western thing...
in & out probably has the best burger...that is if you eat beef burgers. if you want chicken, fish, salad, or non burgers, you'll be out of luck. i suppose maybe that's why their burgers taste so good. it's basicially the only thing they make.

Well, even if the only thing they make is burgers, it might not necessarily mean that they're good. I found a shred of cloth in my soup once from this restaurant who only made soup.
Yes, you're right, I live on the eastern side. I've only heard of McDonalds and Burger King. All these names are new to me.

Hate majority of fast food restaurants, including fish and chips. But, I have to say I like Mc. Donald's Chicken salad.
Sometimes it's hard to love someone because you're so afraid of losing them.
Chick-fil-A all the way, baby!!!!!
Jack in the Box is so-so. I'd prefer In-and-Out Burger more.
I just saw this commercial.
Teriyaki bowls at Jack in the Box???
Watch out! Dihydrogen Monoxide will kill us all!
Oh gosh! After much of trial and error*, here comes the conventional teriyaki bowl.
*trial: enter from the mouth
error: storm in the tummy
What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!
I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?
i've heard of these fast food places bc i watch tv, but up north here, we don't have as many fast food restaurants. just the staples like mickey d's and bk.
we just started getting more though. just these last few years, i've seen a taco bell, a kfc, and popeyes open up in nearby towns.
nytimes: Every hr you have 10 minutes where youre not doing anything productive at work, & you cant look at porn. So you make a comment & fulfill this desire to show yourself off as a smarty-pants.
i had in and out and it was overrated. i guess i love jack in the box's side menu so much that i'd had to lock myself just so i can resist them.
my fishie year in college, i had jitb as mid-night snack and i gained so much weight. i hate my roomie for introducing it to me!
Hatred is a curve blade. The harm we do to others, we also do to ourselves.
i tell you, some ppl argue for the sake of arguing.
When you come to California, look for In-N-Out Burger. You will have the freshest and juiciest burgers. Their fries are not great, but they are 100% potato. You can see those kids put whole potatoes into the machine. I love In-N-Out's simple menu. I don't have to think. Walk in or drive-thru, give me double-double or triple-triple and animal fries.
Has anybody tried those Carl Jr's $6 burgers? Tell us if they are good or not.
When will Mos Burgers come to USA? They probably need to super size their burgers before they can begin selling in the America.
Yea, IN and OUT burgers is the best fast food restaurant that I have been to. They have the best burgers at the best price. Their fries are pretty good and taste different because they are fresh, not frozen.
I have been to Jack in the Box a couple of times. They are ok and are getting creative with all of those breakfast bowls and stuff. I like how they serve breakfast all day unlike other places. It is ok to eat once in awhile but not on a regular basis since it will be bad for your health.
Respect other people's opinions and views. If we learn how to do that than all of these fights and arguments will not occur.
Anyone who drops by Calgary (aka clown town..dont come unless u have 2) should check out Peter's drive in...awesome burgers fries and shakes...WTF pwns any and every fast food chain i've eaten at...
Oh, and can't wait to try MOS burger's...going to be hitting up asia and going to hunt for them. I have been dying to try them since some one posted about it on here a couple of months ago..

Hip-Hop in Syracuse Schools
By Skye Rohde
Syracuse, NY – More than 2,700 students attended the Syracuse Hip-Hop Summit at the Carrier Dome Wednesday morning. The summit was the culmination of a flurry of hip-hop related school lessons. It also caused controversy over whether hip-hop music belongs in the classroom in the first place. WRVO's Skye Rohde has this report.

Movie Review | Friends with Kids: Parents just pals, but not for long
Friends With Kids.
Photographed by William Rexer.
MPAA rating: R (for sexual content, language)
Running time: 1:47
Now showing at the Drexel, Easton 30, Lennox 24 and Polaris 18 theaters

Good chemistry between the lead actors and nice supporting performances help Friends With Kid survive a formulaic story and just-OK filmmaking.
You knew someone would make a movie with this premise: Young Manhattanites Julie (Jennifer Westfeldt) and Jason (Adam Scott), friends but not lovers, decide to have a child but want to avoid the fate of couples they know who've started families and become frazzled and boring. They will take the kid on alternate days, remain just pals and keep their separate apartments in the same building.
The plan works for a while, in part because Jason is such a dutiful and exemplary dad that it almost strains credibility. Julie and Jason strike up new romantic relationships (cue Edward Burns and Megan Fox), and we continue to see the wearing effects of traditional parenthood on their old friends.
En route to an ending that is no surprise, there must be complications. Emotions will evolve, souls will be searched and life lessons will be learned.
Westfeldt (who also co-wrote and starred in the 2001 film Kissing Jessica Stein) and Scott are believable as sorts who might roll the dice on an unconventional parenting mode.
The smartly chosen supporting cast is mainly borrowed from Bridesmaids: Maya Rudolph, Kristen Wiig, Jon Hamm (Westfeldt's real-life partner) and Chris O'Dowd.

You should go to 300 Ideas and look up the algorithms on the Blind Mapmaker Project page. I think you could find some meaty ideas there (such as a method to create a "quest chain" where you gotta do A first to get the B item that you should give to C to be able to do D and so on until you kill the final boss)The program creates a conflict scenario for the player to complete which may or may not be tied to other characters or enviroments. Hard to describe ot any further but everything IS tied together though I understand how I could've mislead u

Posted 07 March 2012 - 12:20 PM
For action adventure shooting, you could solve it by having say 10-20 different projectiles, each one can destroy blocks or open gates of a special kind, and then you just spread them out so that the player gotta find them in a specific order to explore the entire game world.
Check out 300's 4th idea for how to do this algorithmwise: http://www.squidi.ne.../entry.php?id=4

but I'm not aiming for an RPG, aiming more for an RPG action adventure shooter mix.
I'm working on the same thing and came to a few forks in the road as far as how to proceed.
For me I'm taking influence from the rogue-like genre, but only to an extent. Rogue-like's are turn based, but I'm doing action shooter rpg. Rogue-like's use completely procedurally generated maps, it's never the same layout twice. Rogue-likes usually have perma death, I may offer a mode for that but otherwise only take away inventory items on death. Rogue-like's are known for the gameplay, they have many options and elaborate gameplay for being text based.
The easiest way I found once you've loaded a map, was to create spawnpoints, which are randomly placed around the map, you can also define an area they should randomly spawn around to give you control of the orientation. You can then completely randomly spawn a monster at each spawn point, or give a range of monsters to randomly choose from, or set a constant spawn if you want the same monster to spawn each at certain spawn points.
The second part has to do with map generation. Easiest and most inefficient way is to load a single image and then spawn everything over it. A harder and more efficient way is to make a tile engine to generate the layout based off an array. You can pre-define rooms in small arrays and randomly put them together based on some rules, randomly generate the arrays completely, you could also split up your large image into chunks and only draw chunks being viewed.
If you watch a gameplay video of "dungeon of dredmore" it's inspired by rogue-like's and is similar to what I'm doing but I'm doing an open world with several dungeons, where it takes place entirely in a single dungeon.
@Yal thanks for that link, looks right up my alley.

Plus de 1000 tonnes d'acier, un million de briques, cinq millions de carreaux de céramique et cinq millions de mètres de câblage ont été utilisés pour la reconstruction de la gare. Plus de 5000 personnes ont travaillé sur le projet.

Narrow your options to reduce stress

"The magic of the electronic village is transforming health information. The mouse and keyboard have extended the stethoscope to the 500 million people now online." — Dr. Edward Creagan
The power of the medium inspires Dr. Edward Creagan as he searches for ways to share Mayo Clinic's vast resources with the general public.
Dr. Creagan, a Newark, N.J., native, is board certified in internal medicine, medical oncology, and hospice medicine and palliative care. He has been with Mayo Clinic since 1973 and in 1999 was president of the staff of Mayo Clinic.
Dr. Creagan, a professor of medical oncology at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, was honored in 1995 with the John and Roma Rouse Professor of Humanism in Medicine Award and in 1992 with the Distinguished Mayo Clinician Award, Mayo's highest recognition. He has been recognized with the American Cancer Society Professorship of Clinical Oncology.
He describes his areas of special interest as "wellness as a bio-psycho-social-spiritual-financial model" and fitness, mind-body connection, aging and burnout.
Dr. Creagan has been an associate medical editor with Mayo Clinic's health information websites and has edited publications and CD-ROMs and reviewed articles.
"We the team of (the website) provide reliable, easy-to-understand health and wellness information so that each of us can have productive, meaningful lives," he says.

Narrow your options to reduce stress
By Edward T. Creagan, M.D.
3 comments posted
An opportunity arose for me to participate at a recent medical meeting. I had a full plate and was not overjoyed, but nevertheless agreed to participate. I'm glad that I did. Let me share what I heard. Two leaders in the medical community spoke. They offered this practical advice:
Need more help? |
If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
- Eliminate low-priority commitments. When invited to participate in an event or group, wait 24 hours before agreeing. Think about whether you can afford to commit your time and energy. Is this obligation important to you or is it just something that would be nice to do?
- Eliminate distractions. A distraction is anything that does not get you closer to your goal. Your goal might be financial or professional. Or it might relate to your health or a concern for others.
It's too easy to get off track, especially when you're bombarded with options and alternatives each day. Just go to the toothpaste section in your local store — the array of choices will give you a headache.
Learning to focus on what's important and filtering out the rest is an essential skill for reducing stress and achieving success.

Collaboration and communication are essential when dealing with law enforcement officers
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Most people are responsible, law-abiding drivers that follow the rules of the road. But sometimes, even the best drivers can make a mistake that could get them pulled over.
Because people aren't sure what to do if they get stopped by an officer, it could make them nervous and confused if it does happen. The following recommendations should help drivers react properly if they get pulled over:
1. Pull the car to a safe place. As soon as you hear sirens or see patrol lights flashing, carefully pull your car over to the right side of the road. Stop when you find a spot that's safe for you and other drivers. If you get stopped at night, put on your hazard lights.
2. Remain calm. Don't get nervous, and if you have passengers with you, ask them to keep quiet so you can have clear communication with the officer.
3. Stay inside your vehicle. Roll the window down and wait for further instructions from the police. If it's dark, turn on the interior lights so that the officer can see what's inside your car.
4. Keep your hands visible. Place your hands on the steering wheel where the officer can see them; avoid any sudden or suspicious movement.
5. Hand over the documents you're asked to present. When the police asks for your license, registration and insurance, tell them where those items are located before reaching for them. It's a good idea to keep all your paperwork where it can be easily accessed.
6. Communicate. Police officers are obligated to explain why they've pulled you over. If you don't agree, it's OK to express it. If you get a ticket, you can defend yourself at your given court date.
If the police officer did not act professionally, ask for his or her name, badge number and license plate. You can report complaints and suspicious activity to the officer's supervisor or police headquarters.

General Admission: Adults $20 - Seniors/Students $15
Stogie Kenyatta's acclaimed solo show about African-American artist/activist Paul Robeson is a powerful and poignant, entertaining and educational, heartfelt and humorous evening of theatre.

His life's work celebrates our common humanity as he fought globally for social justice. "Armed with nothing more than the strength of his convictions and his vision of a world where men live as brothers. His message was his life," says Kenyatta. "He shows us that in spite of our differences; we still have more in common than we do in conflict."

text: In gaming, free-to-play can pay Business 30 June 11 by Mark Brown Tweet NimbleBit Game developers and app creators of all stripes and all sizes are cottoning on to the idea that free can pay.You only have to browse the gaming news headlines to see how many industry titans, MMO behemoths, obscure Korean game makers and dozens upon dozens of mobile start-ups are releasing their games as "free-to-play", or ditching old price tags and subscriptions.Valve just added a handful of free games to Steam before eradicating the price on its own Team Fortress 2. Blizzard sorta jumped on the bandwagon with a half-hearted stab at making World of Warcraft free. Microsoft is reportedly looking into it on Xbox 360 and every week we see new free-to-play apps hit iTunes and the Android market.The idea works like this. You give gamers a full game, or at least a hefty portion of it, for nothing and let them play the game without upfront payment or subscription fees. Then, once they are suitably addicted and craving more, you spring the trap and tempt them to cough up real-world cash in exchange for virtual items and in-game advancements.If you're a player, maybe you could get a new hat or gun or car for a few pounds, or access premium areas and exclusive hang-outs that only paying customers get to see. In a slow and tedious simulation like FarmVille you could pay a few quid to suddenly make your tomatoes ripe and ready for picking. You can grab pointless aesthetic trinkets, or useful items to get ahead.The idea originated in areas like Korea, China, Russia and Brazil where piracy was so prevalent that selling packaged goods with an upfront fee just became pointless and futile. Instead, companies pivoted on the traditional business model and tried a new approach. They gave away MMOs and multiplayer kart racers for nothing, and then offered up small and optional "microtransactions" on the side.It absolutely exploded. Suddenly, gamers who used to knock-off full priced games were spending ten times that amount of virtual doodads, expediting upgrades and premium features. It hit big, it hit fast and it soon made its way to the west. By the mid 00s we saw games imported from Korea, and by the end of the decade we saw native releases like EA's free-to-play shooter Battlefield Heroes, and Zynga's free-to-play Facebook phenomenon FarmVille. The business model has since ripped through the games industry like a particularly nasty pox. Today, more than eight leading MMOs (from EverQuest II to City of Heroes) have free-to-play elements either implemented today or planned for down the line. On the iPhone App Store, eight out of ten "top grossing" games are currently free-to-play apps. Zynga's CityVille courts 80 million architects a month, EA has 17 million users on free-to-play games.

What is MRT?
MRT stands for Mass Rapid Transit, which literally means a mode of transportation that can carry large numbers passengers quickly. Several types of MRT: |
What benefits MRT Jakarta would bring?
The direct impact of MRT system is increasing people's mobility, which will instantly propel the economic growth in the city and improve the quality of citizen's life. The establishment of MRT Jakarta is also expected to bring along some other positive impacts to Jakarta and its citizens, such as: •Cutting off travel time: while it took 1-2 hours to reach Bundaran HI from Lebak Bulus at rush hour, MRT is expected to reduce it to only approximately 30 minutes. Similarly, Lebak Bulus-Kampung Bandan route is expected to be completed in approximately 51 minutes •Environmental impact: MRT will reduce up to 0.7% of the total CO2 emission per year of about 93,663 tons (Data Revised Implementation Program for Jakarta MRT System 2005) •Transit Oriented Development (TOD)-based construction, where MRT system serves as the driving factor of city planning restoration. The integration of transit-urban is targeted to drive economy growth in the area surrounding MRT stations, which in turn will increase the number of MRT Jakarta passengers. |
What's the different between MRT Jakarta and Jakarta Monorail Project?
Unlike the monorail project undertaken by the private sector (business to business), MRT Jakarta is a project funded by the government mainly through Japanese foreign loans from Japan International Cooperation Agency/JICA (Government to Government). The Indonesian Government and DKI Jakarta Provincial Government guarantee the funds' availability and this MRT system operational sustainability. In addition, MRT Jakarta also has different route and qualifications than the monorail. |
What kind of departure schedule would be applied to MRT Jakarta?
MRT Jakarta is projected to operate from 5.00 to 24.00 WIB. During the first year of its operational, headway time would be 5 minutes, and we target to reduce it to 3 or 4 minutes in the upcoming year. |
What other infrastructures are needed to support MRT Jakarta system?
MRT is not the only solution for Jakarta traffic problem; it is a part of a big scheme to solve the problem, as well as other instruments as follow: •Integration to law products and policies: increasing traffic discipline, limiting vehicle volume through ERP (electronic road pricing) as well as other traffic engineering such as intelligent traffic system, traffic management improvement, and physical infrastructure such as fly over and underpass. Another option is to set MRT Jakarta ticket price at the most affordable rate. Various policies can be made either using financial instrument, such as increasing tax for personal vehicle and pricing policies (road pricing, fuel pricing, parking pricing), or without financial instrument, such as the odd-even policy and "3 in 1" policy. •Integration to other transportation mode: to allow MRT Jakarta passengers reach MRT stations conveniently as well as to drive passengers number, MRT Jakarta system can be integrated to other mass transportation mode such as city bus, Trans Jakarta, or Jabodetabek railway system. As well as establishing a new network for MRT system, DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is working with the Central Government to develop an optimization for the existing loopline as part of the Jabodetabek urban railway system. As is illustrated in the DKI Jakarta area planning, the loopline system will be integrated with the MRT network. DKI Jakarta Administration targets to complete the optimization before the Phase 1 of MRT Jakarta operate. •Supportive facilities such as park and ride system, adequate pedestrian and park. People who reside or do their activities around MRT Jakarta railway line will get the direct benefit of MRT Jakarta, while those who live far away can feel safe to leave their personal vehicle to access MRT with feeder. Such system will encourage people to use MRT instead of personal vehicle. MRT Jakarta stations will also be connected to public activity centers, such as office buildings as well as commercial and non-commercial buildings. The convenient and strategic connection between MRT stations and these public activity centers will be a competitive factor for the premise itself, as more people will visit commercial center and more companies will occupy office buildings. |

John Brennan, President Barack Obama's nominee for CIA director, faced the Senate Intelligence Committee Thursday for his confirmation hearing. As expected, questioning of Brennan was very heavily focused on both the CIA's history of torture and the Obama administration's drone policy. At one point an interruption by anti-war protesters from Code Pink led Committee Chairwoman Sen. Dianne Feinstein to clear out the room. She called the hearing back into session after the room had been emptied, and questioning continued.
Drones specifically have come out front and center this week, following the release by NBC News of an unclassified white paper detailing the Obama administration's rationale for using drones to target and kill American citizens thought to be involved with al Qaeda. Congress has objected to the secrecy surrounding such operations and expressed hesitation at allowing the president to have such sole control over the use of such a controversial policy. Brennan, President Barack Obama's chief counterterrorism adviser, appeared to be calm and collected as he responded to questions from the committee. He seemed to be better prepared for his hearing than former senator and secretary of defense nominee Chuck Hagel, who too appeared before the Senate Intelligence Committee last week for tough questioning on defense and national security matters.
[See a collection of political cartoons on President Obama's drone policy.]
Here's a roundup of reactions to Brennan's hearing from around the blogosphere:
Swampland's Michael Crowley noted that due to the nature of the sensitive intelligence topics relevant to a hearing for the CIA director, Brennan didn't reveal much about drones, torture, or the War on Terror. And he said the questions posed show Congress might not be content being kept in the dark on such matters for much longer:
As interesting as Brennan's cautious, though generally effective, responses were the questions from his interrogators. Congress has generally played a hands-off role on counter-terrorism policy under Barack Obama. But several members of the Intelligence Committee seemed frustrated with various aspects of the ongoing campaign against al Qaeda. Democrats Diane Feinstein and Ron Wyden complained that the Obama administration had been too secretive about the drone program's very existence, and Wyden pressed his case that the White House should more clearly explain to the public its legal rationale for killing a U.S. citizen believed to be aligned with al Qaeda.
The Brennan hearing may have shed little light on Obama's likely next CIA director. But it might have been a sign that, when it comes to our long counter-terror campaign, a long-acquiescent Congress is finally getting restless.
[See a collection of political cartoons on defense spending.]
Repeatedly pressed for more details on the amount of drone-related information Brennan would make the Senate privy to should he be confirmed as CIA director,Washington Post's Dana Milbank said the nominee will have an alarming amount of power to "play God" on counterterrorism. He also said there's a clear need for more congressional oversight, due in part to Brennan's vague answers to questions like one from Feinstein on the administration's lack of transparency on targeted killing by drones:
Brennan's response: Trust me. He assured the committee that, although administration lawyers have granted him and his colleagues enormous latitude to kill, "we only use these authorities and these capabilities as a last resort."
Some of the lawmakers' reticence to press Brennan had to do with the classified nature of the program. But politics played a role. Republicans didn't pry because they favor the targeted-killing program, and Democrats didn't raise civil-liberties objections because Brennan is the nominee of a Democratic president.
That's a dangerous mind-set. The Iraq war was initially popular—before it took a disastrous turn. And though a large majority of Americans support the drone-warfare program, they are far more skeptical of killings that target U.S. citizens.
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Is John Brennan a Good Nominee for CIA Director?]
Anonymous blogger Allahpundit of conservative site Hot Air said President Obama's drone policy must indeed be subject to oversight, but that Congress might not be the body to do so.
I agree that there needs to be some sort of check on the president in exercising this power; I'm just not sure that it should be Congress, which was so squeamish about having to take a vote on intervening in Libya that they all but endorsed Obama's flouting of the War Powers Act. Politicians will almost always err on the side of authorizing a drone strike because the political consequences of attacking and screwing up by killing innocent foreigners are less severe than the consequences of not attacking and then having to explain yourself if/when the would-be target launches an attack that kills innocent Americans. That's a brutal calculus, but that's how it is.
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Has Obama Gone Too Far With His Drone Policies?]
Allahpundit goes on to suggest perhaps the courts are a more appropriate venue, because judges are insulated from political pressure and could objectively decide what merit a targeted kill has.

Studio schools offer academic and vocational qualifications, but teach them in a practical and project-based way. Study is combined with work placements at local and national employers who are involved in the school.
Learning in this way encourages students to develop skills like punctuality, good communication, reliability and team-working, whilst gaining a strong grounding in English, maths and science.
These new schools, which are set up with the backing of local businesses and employers, are part of the government's drive to ensure the education system responds to demands from employers for the skills they need to grow and prosper. Employers say that ensuring our young people have these important skills should be a top education priority for the government.
Sixteen studio schools are now open across the country.
On 10 April 2013, the Department for Education approved 13 new studio schools through to the pre-opening phase to open in September 2014 or beyond. You can download a list of the open studio schools and those approved to the pre-opening stage from this page. You can also see the press notice.
There is also a full list of all the studio schools applications received in this round.

Microsoft Surface tablet, iPad spec check
Microsoft did not skimp on specs for its new tablets.
More than any single feature, the 3mm-thick Touch Cover (see photos below) stands out. Using pressure-sensitive technology, Touch Cover senses keystrokes as gestures, allowing faster touch typing than is possible with on-screen keyboards, Microsoft claims.
The Touch Cover attaches to the tablet with a built-in magnetic connector, "forming a natural spine like you find on a book, and works as a protective cover," Microsoft said.
There is also an option for a slightly thicker 5 mm Type Cover that adds moving keys for a more traditional typing experience. … Read more

Hotel Nikko Tokyo Guest Reviews (4)
Had to book a whole heaps of things and run many errands - concierge was efficient and friendly in their service. Buffet breakfast and room could not fault. I've stayed in other Nikko chain hotels before so as expected, this one was just as exceptional.

Trip purpose:Disneyland with 2 small children. This hotel was excellent for that and also has a large local shopping area Located at the Daiba station of the Yurikamome line (Yamamote line-Shimbashi station, across road to Yurikamome line), Hotel Nikko was one of the nicest luxury hotels we have stayed at, exceeding standards of service compared to most Australian 5* hotels. Staff spoke good English, were extremely attentive. They accepted our baggage a early from takkyubin, organised our JAL baggage service to Haneda. Our premiere room with bkfst and internet were spacious and modern (they accomodated our request for 2 beds), buffet breakfasts were excellent and Good neighbour Disney hotel bus was a bonus but timings were a bit infrequent (for young children). Disney fireworks last 5 mins and are distantly seen from disneysea. Tokyo view was lovely esp with balcony. Recommended for a Disney stay. If you were focused on central tokyo the train change might make it a bit far.
John Dooley wrote on December 31, 2010
This is a beautiful hotel with a great view over Tokyo Harbour. Our room was gorgeous with great facilities. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. Although not in the centre of Tokyo it was only a ten minute train ride away with the staion right opposite the hotel. It is worth noting that if you buy a Japan Rail Pass it does not cover the line the hotel is on. My only negative experience was paying almost $15.00 for one small cup of mediocre coffee in the hotel bar area! I did not make that mistake again and we ate away from the hotel.
Lorraine Hutchinson wrote on October 18, 2010
A great hotel at a great location. The help and kindness we received with our small problems was well beyond expectation. The food was great but it was very expensive.

Kids Play Together to Hone Math, Reading, Science & Language Skills; Boosts 21st Century Readiness Skills, Collaboration, Communication and Critical Thinking
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Fingerprint, a mobile entertainment network for kids, is teaming up with TigerFace Games, an award-winning app developer, to deliver seven new collaborative learning apps that allow kids and families to play and learn together. This multi-title release on the Fingerprint Play network is inspired by the power of collaborative learning. Ideal for home or school, these new apps allow kids in groups of two to four players to team up or go head-to-head to hone their math, science and language skills using a single tablet.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130212/MM58568-a)
"These types of collaborative learning apps are using technology to drive the most engaged, social learning by bringing kids together around a single device – much like the successful dynamics of a board game," said Nancy MacIntyre, CEO and co-founder of Fingerprint. "For families, TigerFace Game's award-winning apps on Fingerprint's entertainment network are no doubt the future of a shared, mobile-learning experience at home and at school that is both purposeful and fun."
Collaborative play and learning – where kids work together to solve problems– is becoming increasingly important. Research has found that collaborative learning helps improve retention, enhance interpersonal skills and even improve time on tasks1. At its core, collaborative learning is about a shared experience and ultimately, about relationships. Technology, and specifically games, can be an ideal tool to get students actively engaged with one another and also with the subject matter.
"TigerFace has introduced collaborative learning apps across schools in the UK, and we're thrilled to bring our best learning apps to the Fingerprint network for families everywhere," said Kate Ho, Managing Director of TigerFace Games. "Whether brushing up on math facts or enjoying a quick word battle, it's this kind of social game play that translates into learning moments shared between kids."
These new apps by TigerFace bolster Fingerprint's library to 40 apps that appeal to kids from ages 3-13 and range in flavor from reading and music to math and manners. The new range of collaborative learning apps, available exclusively on the Fingerprint network, includes:
Additionally, Fingerprint and TigerFace today unveiled a single-reader, science-based interactive story.
Collaborative apps are best played on a tablet and are currently available at the App Store for the iPad.
About Fingerprint Digital, Inc.

This workshop will be divided into two parts, a tutorial and a conference. The first two days are intended to introduce probabilists to important biological problems that can engage probability theorists.
These lectures will be delivered by well-known biologists. The last three days will focus on new mathematical questions in probability and statistics that have been stimulated by recent biological research.
An important goal of MBI is to communicate these questions to the mathematics community. Therefore it is intended that the talks will be accessible to probabilists who have not previously worked on questions arising in biology. The lectures will begin by giving the necessary biological background. Topics will include stochastic spatial models and other aspects of ecology and epidemiology; adaptive dynamics; population genetics and evolution including coalescent theory; cancer modeling; stochastic models in neuroscience; and systems/synthetic biology.
