UNITED sTATEs PATENT oEErcE.
ANTrsNoRING DEVICE.
Application led January 11, 1908.
To all whom t may concern:
Beit known that I, LOUIS F. LIEBHARDT, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city and county of Denver and State of Oolorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Antisnoring Devices; and I do declare the 'following to be a full, clear',
and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this speciiication. I
My invention relates to improvements in devices whose object is to prevent sleeping persons from lying upon their backs, its function therefore being to prevent snoring, dreaming and so called nightmare, being the disagreeable sensations to which sleepers are subjected while lying upon the back.
Briefly speaking my invention consists of a hollow, compressible, imperforate body of `suitable size, adapted to be centrally secured to the back of the sleeper and protruding suf ficiently therefrom, to make it practically impossible for the wearer to lie upon his back for any length of time, since as soon as he assumes this position, the prominence of the device will make the position so uncomfortable that he will immediately awake.
More specifically considered, the construction shown in the drawing and herein described, consists of a hollow compressible imperforate ball preferably composed of rubber, the same being secured to a strap or band adapted to be passed around the body of the patient, the device being preferably so applied that the ball is in the middle of the back just below the shoulders, the securing strap passing around the chest. be applied on the outside of the night garment of whatever character the patient may choose to use.
Having briefly outlined my improved construction, I will proceed to describe the same in detail reference being made to the accompanying drawing in which is illustrated an embodiment thereof.
In this drawing, Figure 1 is a view of the device shown in detail and looking down* wardly thereon when in position for use. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken through the device, the parts being shown on a larger scale and partly broken away. Fig. 3 shows Specification of Letters Patent.
This `device may Patented Sept. 8, 1908.
Serial No. 410,381.
the device as viewed lfrom the rear when in position for use upon the body, the form of the body of the wearer being outlined.
The same reference characters indicate the same parts in all the views.
Let the numeral 5 designate a hollow ball or spherical body composed of compressible material preferably rubber, the ball being free from openings whereby its internal resistance to compression from without is that of one atmosphere. This ball is attached to a securing strap 6 in any suitable manner. In the construction shown in the drawing, I have applied to the ball exteriorly, three leather straps 7, 8 and 9, the same being passed around the ball and intersecting each other at right angles at six points. These straps at the various intersecting points are connected preferably by rivets 10. In order that this harness may be applied to the ball, two of the straps are provided with buckles as shown at 12, the straps being separable Where the buckles are located and one extremity of each having openings to receive the buckle tongue, whereby the length of the strap is ad'- justable. After the straps composing the reinforcing harness for the ball, are riveted together, the ball is placed therein and the straps 7 and 8 buckled together. The strap 9 intersects each of the straps 7 and 8 at two opposite points andis connected at these intersecting points with the other straps by the rivets 10. At one point of intersection of the straps 7 and 8, the said straps are connected with the securing strap 6 and a circular leather pad or disk 13 by means of a rivet 14 passing through the straps 7 and 8, the securing strap 6 and the said pad or disk which is sufficiently iiexible to give comfort to the wearer, and at the same time has sucient thickness and stability to prevent it from becoming wrinkled or creased. This pad together with the reinforcing straps 7, 8 and 9, provide means for securely attaching the ball to the strap 6.
It will be understood that the manner of attaching a rubber ball securely to a leather strap is of considerable importance especially where the ball is hollow and must not be punctured owing to the, fact that atmospheric pressure within the ball must be maintained. If the air were allowed to escape by reason of a puncture, the ball would not have sufficient resistance to properly erform its function. I-Iowever, constructec as it is, it possesses suliicient resistance for the purpose desired and at the same time has comparatively little weight and is therefore practically no encumbrance to the wearer.
The securing strap 6 has its extremities connected by means of a buckle 15 which is `attached to one extremity of the strap, the
the middle of the back just below the shoulders. By attaching the stra with reasonable tightness, the device wil maintain its position without difficulty and the strap will not readily slip to allow the ball to change its position. If desired, however, the securing strap may be attached to the night garment thus compelling the ball always to maintain the same relative position on the garment, and a corresponding position upon the body of the atient.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
1. An anti-snoring device comprising a hollow compressible ball having an imperforate wall, and suitable means for maintaining the same in position upon the back of the wearer, the ball projecting exteriorly from the securing means.
2. A device of the class described, comprising a hollow compressible ball having an imperforate wall, and a securing strap to which the ball is exteriorly applied whereby it projects outwardly from the body of the wearer when in use, the said strap being adapted to pass around the body of the patient and equipped with suitable adjusting means.
3. A device of the class described, comrising a hollow compressible ball having an im erforate wall, means for reinforcing the ba exteriorly, and means for securing the same to the body of the wearer, the ball 4being attached exteriorly to the securing means whereby it projects outwardly from the body of the wearer when in use, substantially as described.
4. A device of the class described, comprising a hollow compressible ball, reinforcing straps passed around the ball and secured together to maintain them in position thereon, and means for securing the ball upon the body of the wearer, substantially as described.
5. A hollow compressible ball, reinforcing straps passed around the ball exteriorly and intersecting each other, the straps being connected at their points of intersection, and means connected with the reinforcing straps for maintaining the ball upon the body of the wearer, substantially as described.
6. An anti-snoring device, comprising .an elastic ball having an imperforate wall, and' means for maintaining the ball in position on the back of the wearer, the ball projecting exteriorly from the said means, substantially as described.
7. A n elastic ball provided with intersectingreinforcing straps applied to the ball exteriorly, and a securing strap attached to the reinforcing straps, the securing strap being adapted to pass around the body of the patient, substantially as described.
8. A device of the class described comprising a hollow, compressible body having an imperforate wall, and means for securing the same upon the back of the wearer, the said body projecting exteriorly from the securing means.
9. A device of the class described, comprising a hollow compressible body having its wall intact and free from opening or puncture, reinforcing straps applied to the said body exteriorly, a flexible pad attached to the reinforcing straps, and a securing strap passed between the pad and the reinforcing straps and secured to both the said compressible body projecting exteriorly from the securing strap, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

Cash-strapped Aironi kicked into touch
Enrico Borra
April 6, 2012

Aironi have been jettisoned from next season's RaboDirect PRO12 and Heineken Cup due to ongoing financial struggles.
Following the withdrawal of their main sponsor, Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, it has been increasingly difficult for club officials to maintain a footing among Europe's elite and the Italian Rugby Federation (FIR) have today issued a press release announcing that they have revoked the team's license to participate in the PRO12 due to "financial pressure".
A subsequent statement from the PRO12 said: "Aironi will honour all fixtures until the end of the current season and the FIR have started a procedure to form a new franchise to participate in next year's competition.
"RaboDirect Pro12 will issue more information as it becomes available."
Aironi were introduced to the former Celtic league two seasons ago, along with Benetton Treviso, but on-field results have been disappointing in comparison with their Italian rivals.
The club currently sits bottom of the PRO12, eight points adrift of Edinburgh, and suffered an early exit from this season's Heineken Cup, where they were hammered 82-0 by Clermont Auvergne.
The FIR must now decide the best course of action in terms of replacing Aironi, with a deadline for submissions of interest set for April 25. Whether or not any interest can be raised remains to be seen, with Italy currently battling economic hardship due to the Eurozone crisis.
The PRO12 entry criteria will also pose problems to any prospective bidders, with Treviso understood to be the only club aside from Aironi currently able to fulfil the economic obligations.
Rumours suggest that the FIR could be pressed into forming a centralised, union-funded second region as a back-up plan, with the club tentatively named Azzurri and based in Parma or Calvisano.

Taking a BMW M series car out on the track is an occasion for daydreaming that you're Michael Schumacher at the wheel of a Formula 1 racer. Unfortunately, the average BMW doesn't come with a US$50,000 F1 steering wheel, making the illusion that bit harder to maintain. To help rectify this, BMW is offering a steering wheel with a touch of the racetrack as part of its M Performance accessories catalog. Read More
European Space Agency working on using rocket fuel in cars
At first glance, hydrogen seems like a brilliant alternative fuel for motor cars. It burns so clean that all it produces is water, it's the most abundant element in the universe and it doesn't need all those rare earth elements and heavy metals that electric vehicles depend on. The only trouble is, it's very difficult to handle. In an effort to make hydrogen cars practical, the European Space Agency (ESA) and Austrian automotive manufacturer MagnaSteyr are adapting technology developed for the Ariane rockets so that it can be used in cars, as part of ESA's Technology Transfer Programme.

John Cooper Works unveils its take on the 4x4 MINI Countryman
When MINI Cooper came out with its Mini Countryman in 2010, it looked like what it was – a 4x4 crossover for people who like MINIs, but occasionally need to drive through a field or live on steep, icy hills. This year, MINI's John Cooper Works sub-brand comes out with its version of the Countryman that takes the bucolic MINI and gives it a heavy dose of racetrack style and technology. Read More

It's really just a thought . . .

Parasite-Predator-Symbiot Plot Twists
Using Organic Archetypes
Dateline Boulder
When last I posted, I was just beginning to research relationship strategies with one's environment (nature, in this case.)
I found three classic views of how any life (anywhere it is known to exist.) relates to its environment. All three are seen in light of there feeding strategies. Hey, we all got to eat!
The three classic social relationships are:
- Predator/Prey (Feeding upon the dead carcases.)
- Parasite/Host (From the Greek, "Living Beside")
- Symbiot/Partner (Cooperating with another species for mutual gain.)
Here is one of my over-arching story plots using these relationships. Please note that it is way too early to tell this story with connections to our lives – this is a real symbiotic relationship told with plot twists (to keep the audience interested.):
A Tree Grows, by James Maxwell
There is a parasite feeding on the energy of a tree. (Parasite/Host)
In defense, the tree experiments with creating and releasing new chemicals in hopes of weakening the parasite.
However, instead of repulsing the parasite, the tree has attracted a second, more dangerous parasite.
Meanwhile, the original parasite discovers a taste for the new arrival and begins finding means of attacking it in addition to feeding upon the tree (Predator/Prey).
Eventually, the original parasite eats more of the new parasite and sucks less of the tree's energy. The tree grows healthy again and now encourages the original parasite. (Symbiot/Partner).
In gratitude for a better source of energy, the original parasite begins to farm the second parasite (it was the tree's idea), keeping just enough alive to ensure next season's feast. (Predator/Prey between parasites and Symbiot/Partner with tree.)
I like this plot because the agents of their story change their strategies as their environment changes. They do not remain locked into even their nature, but "adapt" and evolve as their world changes – sometimes very rapidly.
James Maxwell
Enter a Speculative Fiction
Symbiosis leads to Metamorphosis
Dateline Boulder:
I've been doing research on parasites as represented in fiction – with the original idea of turning this concept to represent the oligarchs who feed on the labor of others – as opposed to the current common sense of parasite – he that feeds on those who work.
My ironic idea was that the true parasite is the oppressor who feeds on all other humans.
However, as I began my research I came upon a definition of the classical forms of life and their relationship to the natural world.
The three forms that can be found everywhere life is to be found are:
- Parasitism – those that do no work today, but feed harmlessly on others.
- Predation – those that attack others and feed directly on their dead carcasses.
- Symbiosis – those that create relationships with others and survive via mutual support.
It is interesting to note that wherever the predators have gained dominance, the adaptors (symbiosis) must become invisible in order to survive. In Jungian psychology, they might be considered to be archetypes of the collective unconscious, or perhaps (due to the symbiosis) better be described as an aggregate of shadows.
It should also be noted that whenever the predators have gained dominance, they leave enough of the parasites around so that they have a constant source of food. The goal of the parasite, meanwhile, is to replace the oppressor with themselves – thus becoming an oppressor themselves, continuing the cycle – a pure didactic relationship
My goal now, however is to create a story world (a speculative fiction story world) in which the life represented within the fiction, contains all three classes of life, two of which are in constant battle (the oppressor and the oppressed), while the third (symbiosis) continues their metamorphosis (natural selection and adaptation) created through constantly seeking – and finding – new symbiotic relationships with other life forms. Once the relationship is established, evolution occurs!
I still like the idea of traveling through time via one's DNA, but it has now expanded to contain predator influences, parasitical influences and symbiotic influences – all in the form of attached genetic structure (just as science tells us it happens now with inherited diseases.)
I think it important to include all three because what I see outside myself must also exist within me (What is without is also within – as though a mirror of oneself.)
My "witticism:" I love to let my mind have its way with me, is the recognition that I have all three types of life force within me and they are more powerful in shaping how I think than what I've learned from today's metaphorical "climate" (which changes constantly).
James Maxwell
PS: in order to explore this fully i am once again detaching myself from other worldly concerns. Events in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle-East and here at home must take a leave of absence from my consideration (I don't have much of value to contribute, anyway.) so that I can exercise ironic detachment in order to let my collective unconscious assist me unfettered by those archetypical aggregates of shadows that seek to keep me preoccupied with didactic concerns. When that which is in constant warfare within becomes quiet, that which seeks symbiosis will rise to the surface. My metamorphosis is at stake here, after all – that's why I write.

Working on Volume One of Dialogue Jokes
Dialogue Jokes intended for the writers of scenes.
Dateline Boulder:
Here's what I like about dialogue jokes:
- Each dialogue joke is a complete story
- Each story contains a plot imitating the action of the agents of the story
- The agents of the story tell the entire story without the assistance of a narrator
Here's what I don't like about dialogue jokes:
- All jokes teach people it's better to be the oppressor
- All jokes are painful or cruel on some level
- Jokes are embedded onto the agents of the story making it sometimes difficult to "see" the original character – try to remove the joke and the character disappears too.
I write only about compassion, so I chose jokes to have something to work against.
Here's a sample from my Penny-a-Joke cartoon:
- I'd like a Boulder 420 Breakfast, please.
- What's that?
- A bowl packed with your finest cannabis, a Rib Eye Steak, and a bulldog.
- What's the bulldog for?
- Somebody's got to eat that steak.

Volume Four Completes Up the Alley
What began as a writing exercise is now a published four-volume epic novel written entirely in flash fiction.
Dateline Boulder: June 18, 2014
It's done, it's done, it's done!
Here' s my Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L3L1EW8
And here is my book's fan page: https://www.facebook.com/UptheAlley (likes are always appreciated on the fan page)
Although the story is about a seedy coffee shop catering to the homeless, it experiments with an over-arching non-didactic structure that I believe creates community.

A Fable Deconstructed
Turgenev provides the structure
Dateline: Boulder
I seem to be creating a new methodology. I am sequentially writing stories based on the fables I find in Laura Gibbs translation titled, Aesop's Fables.
Aristotle said when you change the structure of a story, you change its purpose, implying the purpose of any story is defined by its structure.
So, what does this have to do with the new "purpose" of the story?
I haven't a clue – which means it's probably staring me right in the face.
At any rate, since I approach all my writing as the next era in my learning to write by writing exercise book (created as i go), I'm finding immense satisfaction with the source material in the fables.
For example, each is tightly constructed to maximize meaning within a well-structured format. Nothing is wasted and typically each sentence has multiple meanings. The paragraphs, when deconstructed, take on additional significance at each turn.
Also, since I'm learning to write in the super intimate first-person eye-witness account style, my thought process is also beginning to change to match that voice and that way of observation.
This voice has one incredible rule (it probably has many, but only one that always requires observation: the story must be told by a survivor – if a character dies in the story, he can't be telling the story.
Stories are told by survivors in an eye-witness perspective – in a historical account shared intimately with a single reader.
Here is the first draft of the rewrite of Fable 6 (Gibbs, Pg. 6): The Donkey, the Priests, and the Tambourines:
Begging for Alms

Learning about the power of literary influence
I'm writing these days to Learn how to Read
Dateline Boulder:
I thought I was learning how to write by writing and then criticizing what I wrote and trying to write better the next time.
What I was actually doing, though, was learning how to read again – this time by analyzing what I was reading. I wrote hundreds of stories without much other influence – Up the Alley is based on my own source material – I was influenced by what I'd already written.
Now, I'm trying a few new things:
Instead of third-person, I now write in the first person – and in an attempt to provide an eye-witness account of an incident or a series of events and always told out loud to a single reader.
I'm also including a description of the environment surrounding my characters (believing that a person and his environment are inseparable) and after today's experience, trying to tell the environment's story as well.
I'm also "translating" Aesop's Fables into a narrative-fiction, eyewitness-account of the incidents of the fable.
Prior to the translation, I'm also trying to learn how to deconstruct, so I'm deconstructing each of the fables prior to analyzing it (to determine whose story it is for focaliization purposes). The deconstruction is most critical thinking, but always leads to unexpected imaginative solutions.
So, here is the latest fable rewritten as a short story. In this case, flash fiction:
The Donkey the Onager and the Lion
James Maxwell
The Accidental Story
You start to write one story but it turns into something else . . . What's that called?
Dateline Boulder:
I'm reading Turgenev while learning to write in a first person eyewitness "account" style.
Yesterday I noticed one of his stories in a Sportsman's Sketches contained some very nice storm imagery and like any great writer, I set about to steal it.
What I discovered is that Turgenev was telling an entire second story just in the weather.
As it turned out, the imagery wasn't needed for the story I was writing, so I set it aside. Then, almost by chance, I reread it and discovered the second story Turgenev was telling.
He was telling the story of an environment that forever changes and how it influences the people who live within it – and how those people (by extension) must be affecting it.
Here is the story (now fictionalized) I found within Turgenev's tale:
The Donkey
I'll post the story I ended up writing later today.
James Maxwell
Continuing to Learn Deconstruction Techniques
Creativity Explodes Following the Destruction of Deconstruction
Dateline Boulder:
They say the Phoenix rises from its own ashes.
So do fables.
I seem to be developing a new writing "process."
Before I actually sit down to rewrite the fable, I destroy it by analyzing each sentence and word within the sentence.
Then, when I have a new "structure" created, I start writing from a first-person, eyewitness position. My analysis tells me which character to focalize – whose story is being told.
Here is the link to the story I wrote over the last couple of days.
It's no longer flash fiction – it's a short story"
The Onager

-The picture is the drawing of the mural (it's the school's mascot)
What if you were born with a marking on the side of your face and it would determine who you are soul mates with? Everyone's is different. You don't get a list saying who it's going to be, you have to meet them when the time comes. Most people find out when they are fifteen, but I am eighteen already and I still haven't found mine. Not that I believe in that mumbo-jumbo. All my friends have already found theirs and you can't separate them. But who cares about having a soul mate, right now all I have time to think about is school. I am a senior in high school. I attend Mone High School. I got up out of bed, and went and took a shower. As soon as I poured out the shampoo on my hand, my bathroom smelled of mint and rosemary. When I finished showering, I got dressed in a pair of jeans, red and black longsleeve since it is winter, and put on a pair of sneakers, completing the look with my red and black hair pulled into a slopy ponytail.
* * * At school
''Hey Sumeria.'' said Matt. Matt was one of my only friends and he had already found his soul mate, Carol.
''Hey Matt. Carol.'' I said acknowledging them both. I began to stick my books inside my locker, and grabbed my Art stuff. ''What are you guys up to?"
''We were just heading to class. I really don't want to have Mr. Weinstein.'' Mr. Weinstein was one of the science teachers and he spoke like a robot. I rolled my eyes at her comment. We continued walking with each other and then we parted when we went in different directions. I sat down at the back of the classroom where I usually sit, and I was the first person to get there. The classroom started to fill in with people, and then when the bell rang, Mrs. Perri began her lecture for the day. In the middle of her lecture, a guy with black side swept hair, hazel eyes, and was wearing all black walked into the room. ''Class this is the new student Jace.'' said Ms. Perri. She told him to take a seat and of all the empty seats in the room, he sat next to me. She finished her lecture and then told us that we had to work in a group with the person sitting next to you and create a mural on one of the school walls that she is going to assign us. I wish we could work alone but that isn't going to happen. ''What's your name?" someone asked me and I was snapped out of my thoughts.
''I'm sorry, what did you say?" I asked. Turning to face the new kid.
''What is your name?" he said slowly as if he were talking to an airhead.
''Sumeria Moonsray, and yours?"
''Jace Howell, I'm guessing your my partner?"
''I guess so.'' Mrs. Perri walked around to each group and told them which wall in the school they could paint. When she reached us, she said, ''You guys are going to get to paint the front wall on the outside of the school.'' she said with a smile.
''Thank you.'' With that she sent us on our way with a pass and some supplies to go start. I picked up my books, and bag and left the classroom with Jace. I headed to my locker and Jace followed. ''Do you already know where your locker is?" I asked slowing my pace so he could catch up.
''Um... No actually.''
''What locker is it?"
"Thirty- four B.''
''Oh ok, it's right next to mine.'' We walked in silence and when we arrived by our lockers, I showed him which one was his. I stuffed all my books back in the locker, and then grabbed my P.E. clothes and stuffed them in my bag. ''Who do you have next?"
''Me too, it's P.E., so you will have to grab your clothes. Did you bring any spare clothes?"
"Yeah, you ready?" I nodded. We headed outside, and began drawing on the wall. When we finished drawing, we headed inside because the bell rung. My hands were numb and were turning purple since they were so cold.
''So, if you don't mind me asking, I know everyone asks this but, how do you like the school?"
''It's okay, what do you think of the school?"
''It's school.'' I said. ''Where did you used to live?"
''Cool, I hear it's really nice there.''
''It is, if you like people and the beach and stuff.'' We weaved our way in between the crowd. We made it outside to the P.E. area.
''Boy's locker room is right there.'' I said pointing him towards them.
''Thanks.'' He went in there and I went into the girl's locker room and changed into my P.E. clothes which was yoga pants, a tank top, and sneakers. I had to wear a tank top no matter how cold it was for P.E. because it was the uniform, the same thing goes with the yoga pants. I stepped out of the humid locker room, and into the cold air. I was freezing because I didn't have on a sweater. I had forgotten to bring it today. Of all days to forget it I forgot it on a snowy day and we were outside. I stood near the coach as we all waited for everyone to finish changing. ''Okay, we have a new student, his name is Jace. Today you guys will be running laps. Get to work.'' he said and at the end he clapped his hands. We got in our usual positions, and when he yelled go, we took off running. I was the first one to cross the finish line, at the end of the two mile run, I ran it in less than five minutes. I went and took my seat and watched as the others passed the line. Every breath I took felt like I was breathing in needles it was so cold. Someone came without me realizing, and they knocked me off the bleacher. My rib was rammed into the edge of it and I winced it pain. I looked up and saw that it was Jace.
''You just got here and you're already trying to kill me?" I said with fake hurt.
He grinned sheepishly. ''Sorry, some loser pushed me.'' He said standing up and extending his hand.
''Thanks.'' I said as he pulled me up. Everyone made their way back from running, and Coach gave them five minutes. Then he made us girls and guys race against each other. ''Go!'' he yelled and we all took off running. Yet again, I was the first one to cross the line and Jace was second. ''Ha ha, in your face I beat you.'' He rolled his eyes.

The only thing that they should consider is some sort of glass barrier between front doors & sitting/ breakfast area because very cold every time the door opens which is often. Not very cozy that way otherwise would be great.
Close to everything
Blanket was too warm.
Walking distance to downtown area. Helpful staff. Great restaurants close by. Perfect for a group, something for everyone!
Close to the waterfront restaurants and walking distance from the breweries. One brewery is in the same building.
Breakfast was Ok but we really disliked eating in disposable utensils and plates.
convenient ,clean,
Very spacious room with new facilities and an extensive breakfast provided in the morning (both hot and cold food).
A little far from the centre of town but not a long walk.
Room was not ready when we arrived at 3:00pm. We're told they would call us when it was ready and no one ever called. We traveled all day and it would have been nice to get into our room to rest and freshen up.
location friendly, helpful staff
Location great. 5th floor, waterfront view marvelous. Breakfast, lots of delicious choices. Staff, friendly, good. Room, spacious and clean. Bed, comfortable.
Appreciated the free breakfast, comfortable bed and the shuttle service. It was nice to be able to walk to many places and feel safe while doing so.
Paying about $50-100 more than what is warranted. It would have been nice to have better services for travelers not really knowing the area, such as ourselves.
There was nothing that wasn't wonderful. The breakfast is a full spread. The rooms are very comfortable. The beds/pillows are superb. The whole feel was very high class. The staff was outstanding and went our of their way to be helpful.
not a thing.
Really nice big room. Nice to have a frig and microwave. Great location.
Staff were very helpful. Bed and room very comfortable
Internet connection variable. Reasonably expensive compared to other hotels we have stayed in. This was our first hotel booked online from NZ
Very close to all the restaurants and bars!
I thought this hotel match all our requirements for our trip.
location and comfort
Great location, very accessible Staff were very helpful and friendly Right beside a restaurant- Sebago, which has very good food! Great variety for breakfast Overall excellent stay
location, clean and friendly staff
Very friendly and helpful staff including the valets and the staff that assisted with the breakfast. Clean rooms, attractive hotel, great location.
Peace of mind: valet parking, conveniences, (pool for me), view (for entertainment), proximity to harbor eateries (though we wound up eating within the hotel connected restaurant. Break fast was excellent. Our usual hotel choices are more one-off, non-chain etc. but this was safe, clean, easily accessible.
The entrance-reception is architecturally a little tight. We arrived before the 4pm rush, thank goodness. We required a rolling luggage rack which was certainly available and convenient but a little goofy to maneuver down that hallway to the elevators. But...I am an architect's wife, so forgive me.
Courteous helpful staff. Hotel well placed for walking around town and on coast trail. Lovely big comfortable bedroom.
The hotel is NOT on the waterfront but one block back with car parks and a few buildings in front. If you get a room on top two floors you will get great views of water and cruise ships. Not keen on eating off plastic/card plates at breakfast.
Location. That's it!
Staff were not knowledgeable at all in reference to simple questions like where to buy a good blueberry pie. One staff member told me to go to WholeFoods which was a disgrace to the local bakery stores in the area. Valet parking is a must. Portland is hard to park around.
Clean and comfortable

DEFINITION of 'Opportunity Cost'
1. The cost of an alternative that must be forgone in order to pursue a certain action. Put another way, the benefits you could have received by taking an alternative action.
2. The difference in return between a chosen investment and one that is necessarily passed up. Say you invest in a stock and it returns a paltry 2% over the year. In placing your money in the stock, you gave up the opportunity of another investment - say, a risk-free government bond yielding 6%. In this situation, your opportunity costs are 4% (6% - 2%).
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Opportunity Cost'
1. The opportunity cost of going to college is the money you would have earned if you worked instead. On the one hand, you lose four years of salary while getting your degree; on the other hand, you hope to earn more during your career, thanks to your education, to offset the lost wages.
Here's another example: if a gardener decides to grow carrots, his or her opportunity cost is the alternative crop that might have been grown instead (potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkins, etc.).
In both cases, a choice between two options must be made. It would be an easy decision if you knew the end outcome; however, the risk that you could achieve greater "benefits" (be they monetary or otherwise) with another option is the opportunity cost.

With labs around the globe, Microsoft Research is ideally positioned to partner with leading academic and research institutes worldwide. One of the latest examples of this international cooperation is the Madrid Joint Research Center, a collaborative venture between Microsoft Research and the IMDEA Software Institute. Now we are pleased to announce the center's inaugural activity: a software workshop that takes place April 2 to 4, 2014, at IMDEA Software Institute's campus in Madrid.
The Microsoft Research and IMDEA Software Institute Collaboration Workshop will bring together researchers from both partners and will focus on advances in verification, programming languages, and security. Thirty-six researchers and 20 students are involved in the collaboration, and, to date, some 20 papers have resulted from their joint work, with more in preparation.At a workshop that emphasizes collaboration, it is heartening to hear about joint work that has been completed, as well as proposals for new initiatives. A prime example of the first kind is will be described in the keynote by Alexy Gotsman from IMDEA. He will talk about a new framework and set of proofs that tighten up the semantics of modern databases underlying large-scale Internet services that guarantee immediate availability—a joint project from Microsoft Research, INRIA, and the University of Oxford. Said Manuel Hermenegildo, director of the institute, "Following the workshop, the center will broaden its reach to work with Microsoft in the following categories: cloud storage systems and mobile platforms; cloud/web security/malware detection; cryptography and privacy; concurrency, parallelism, and memory models; and programming languages and verification." This will, we hope, be the first of many such workshops at the center, providing researchers and students a forum to discuss their collaborative work on hot topics in software. I am pleased to organize this joint research center with Georges Gonthier from Microsoft Research and Manuel Hermenegildo and Gilles Barthe from IMDEA Software Institute.

As I prepare for the upcoming eScience in the Cloud workshop, I keeping coming back to what might sound like an obvious statement—even in these times when we're trying to tackle hugely complex issues, like understanding climate change, and we are coping with heterogeneous data in volumes not previously encountered: as with life, science always finds a way. Okay, I'm paraphrasing from Jurassic Park, but you take my meaning.
Facing these complex issues will involve working together—multiple research disciplines collaborating across multiple institutions, across multiple sectors of business, nonprofit, and government. A tall order? Certainly—but, with cooperation and communication, one that is tractable (notice I did not say easy). I hope to see that conversation continue at this workshop.
Yes, we are coping with massive data sets and have the means to collect and share them. Processing big data takes massive compute power; fortunately, compute power grows and becomes increasingly accessible every day. Visualizing data for exploration is critical—and never have I seen more tools to visualize and explore data than of late.
The reason I call this blog "Getting back to first principles" is that many of the topics we will discuss at the eScience in the Cloud 2014 workshop were topics also discussed at Microsoft SciData 2004, our original eScience event, held some 10 years ago.
Sure, the stakes and the availability of tools and compute resources seem higher (don't they always?), yet the topics and goals are much the same: how we can use technology (in this case, the cloud) to expedite scientific discoveries. This is why, when my co-chair and colleague, Dennis Gannon (formerly an academic attendee) pulled the event together, he and I reviewed feedback from previous eScience events and focused on answering these fundamental questions: how is Microsoft going to help? and what resources can we make available?
Like SciData 2004, the upcoming event will feature not only academics discussing their solutions to compute problems in science, but also Microsoft researchers from a variety of disciplines talking about how you can use their tools to reach your objectives. Even the product teams are becoming involved. They will demonstrate how some of their new offerings—many freely available—can help researchers achieve their goals.
I hope you will join us April 29–30, at the Microsoft Research Lab in Redmond, Washington, to find out how to further your research in the cloud-computing age. Learn more about the event and register.
If you can arrive a day earlier, we're holding a one-day training event that teaches how to use Windows Azure, Microsoft's cloud-computing platform, for research. This April 28 event is part of the Windows Azure for Research program.

With the announcement of the 2014 winners of the Microsoft Research Awards for the Software Engineering Innovations Foundation (SEIF), I can't help but reflect on the depth and breadth of research supported by Microsoft Research. Over the past few years, SEIF has not only sponsored research into core software engineering challenges but has also funded investigations into software engineering's applications in mobile and cloud computing and natural user interface (NUI). This year was no exception to the this emphasis on depth and breadth: for 2014, SEIF invited proposals addressing core software engineering challenges as well as those that delving into the application of software engineering to the Internet of Things and large-scale cloud infrastructure. These latter two areas were explored as a partnership between Lab of Things and Global Foundation Services, respectively.
Before I reveal the 2014 winners, let me say a bit about the diversity and quality of the proposals. We received 129 proposals, coming from nearly 30 countries and every continent (okay, except Antarctica). SEIF has truly become an internationally recognized program! Some 70 reviewers from across Microsoft conducted an internal review of the proposals, all of which were of exceedingly high quality. It was extremely difficult to choose the 12 winning projects, each of which will receive funding of US$40,000.
Here, then, are the 2014 recipients of this Microsoft Research Award:
Congratulations to the 2014 winners of this Microsoft Research Award! See the winners on the SEIF page.

Sometimes the good news is bread.
"Sometimes the good news is a story about Jesus. Other times, the good news is bread."
A classmate of mine, Muchengetwa, told me that after a preaching class during my junior year of undergraduate studies in bible college. It has served as a good reminder to me in all the years since. I was reminded of that lesson again recently when I was at the Revolution site one evening.

On September 27th 2014, the act of the Purge begins.
The Purge is simple.
Consisting of purely deleting nearly all of my devations and starting anew.
For far too long have I loathed and neglected my account and thus causing it to be more of a shame to myself, my art, and rather pointless-so I wish to change that.
It has been three years in the making of this mess so now that I have separated myself from the problem I find this is a good time to start over, everywhere. From my Facebook to here to wherever else I have made myself really known.
I have made previous remarks of how I would make a 'comeback' and they each fell through because of the living situation I was within.
As much as that annoyed me vigorously it did give me time to straighten out my ideas of what to do and progress a bit further in art-skill wise so…I am not complaining too much. Sorry for anyone who did enjoy my work for neglecting you all so long and had so many frequent vanishing acts-but this time I am serious-I want to get this done.
Once upon a time there was a little girl, this little girl who wanted to see the world; however once upon a day-this girl went astray-and this little girl found herself lost in a disturbing place. Broken, abandon, and damned...this little girl thought she'd met her end. On a fateful night, it was then she met a light, in a form of a dark winged angel-one that wasn't quite a stranger...she had to make the choice-to walk further into oblivion or leave what she knew and survive with him. Both choices ended in death...but only one would she reawaken.
-Holiday fun is on the horizon -Commissions will be opening
-Kiribian will be approaching -Requests/Art Trades will be available (friends only or special occasions)
*** For when I do begin reposting art and all of that, I always say this, if I can't send a thank you message or 'acknowledge you' for you faving my art-I really do notice and it means a lot to me so thank you thank you thaaaank you in advance~ you are awesome and I love ya~***
~Welcome-Welcome to my DA Page~
Like most on this site I am different than the average person you see every day; I don't mind a simple chat now and again on here if people want to speak to me or have a question. I won't bite…too hard, haha~

Fresh off the wave of reader acclaim he garnered for Full Clip, a Booth-premiered freestyle dedicated to late Northeastern hip-hop icon Guru, DMV up-and-comer Marky draws inspiration from a somewhat more surprising musical idol on the latest leak off his forthcoming, Kevin Nottingham/DJBooth.net-cosponsored street album. Run On finds producer The Madman serving up a synth-fortified sample from country legend Johnny Cash's classic track God Will Cut You Down as Marky matches the Man in Black's stone-cold badassitude with fittingly formidable lyricism. Is this rap hopeful destined to become "Bigger than the Northeast, bigger than Maryland, bigger than D.C.?" With the drive and ambition he showcases here, it seems likely. For more from the rising star, check out Journey to Markyland, USA: Rest Stop 2 when it reaches its destination – that is, our front page – on May 12.

For his follow-up to his darkly brilliant debut, PI, director Darren Aronofsky chose to adapt a tough and meaty piece of work: Hubert Selby's 1968 novel REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, a dark spiral into the abyss of barren fantasies doomed to extinction. However, in Aronofsky's frenetic, visionary, unique, and disturbing style lies the perfect setting for this story of four people whose intertwined lives are filled with eternally hopeful despair. This is a different sort of horror film. Harry Goldfarb (Jared Leto) and Marion Silver (Jennifer Connelly) are lovers in Brooklyn with dreams of setting up a small business and spending the rest of their lives in love--their version of the American dream. The two are also desperate heroin addicts, a compulsion that darkens their lives and leads Harry to repeatedly pawn his mother's television. His mother, Sara Goldfarb (Ellen Burstyn), is addicted to television, which is why she keeps replacing the stolen set. One day she receives a call from her favorite show, the surreal TAP

REQUIEM FOR A DREAM: Darren Aronofsky follows up his acclaimed debut Pi with this gritty emotionally charged film set amidst the abandoned beaches and faded glory of Coney Island, Brooklyn. Based upon the novel by celebrated author Hubert Selby Jr., the story intricately links the lives of a lonely widowed mother (Academy Award Winner Ellen Burstyn), her son Harry (Jared Leto), his beautiful girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connelly) and his best friend Tyrone (Marlon Wayans). Requiem For a Dream is a hypnotic tale of four human beings each pursuing their vision of happiness. Even as everything begins to fall apart, they refuse to let go, plummeting with their dreams into a nightmarish, gut-wrenching freefall. PI: A brilliant mathematician teeters on the brink of insanity as he searches for an elusive numerical code in this critically acclaimed, sci-fi thriller!

With its massive orchestral requirements (16 timpani, four brass choirs, tenor soloist, and full chorus), Hector Berlioz' REQUIEM is one of the French composer's most daunting--and therefore underperformed--choral works. Legendary conductor Maurice Abravanel leads the Utah Symphony Orchestra and University Civic Chorale in an ambitious undertaking of the epic masterpiece that is considered to be one of classical music's most sublime recordings.
