Alaska has long held a romantic place in the American psyche. Man's battle against the state's rugged, untamed wilderness lies at the center of that fascination, dating back at least to 1903, when Jack London published The Call of the Wild. The book follows Buck, a domesticated ranch hound who is kidnapped and shipped to Alaska to work as a sled dog in the Yukon Territory. Buck must adapt to the ethos of the wild to become the leader of the pack. As Buck's primordial instincts take over and he transforms into his primitive self, London describes him as ". . . a killer, a thing that preyed, living on the things that lived, unaided, alone, by virtue of his own strength and prowess, surviving triumphantly in a hostile environment where only the strong survive."
Cross country is a way to answer that "call of the wild" today. When an aspiring champion finds himself on an isolated stretch of the course, trying to break the will of his competitor, he does not think of sunny training days or picturesque runs on the beach. He remembers the worst possible conditions he practiced in and how he suffered and survived that hostile environment, which made him strong. Davis isn't unique in believing in building toughness in runners, he just has a harsher environment than most to use as a tool toward that end–the original, untamed wild of literary lore.
At 6 a.m. the following day, members of the Grizzly track team walk into the Dome, Anchorage's new indoor sports facility that includes a 409m track, and begin to peel off their sweats. Today they're working out indoors, as they do on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the winter and early spring. Without a coach's prompt, the 35 boys and girls ease into their 1-mile warm-up around the outside lanes. Another 15 athletes from a local public school are also practicing this morning, so the oval quickly turns into a human version of pinball. The Grizzly runners break into small packs for a 20-minute threshold run followed by six 200m sprints. It's a minor miracle that the 50 athletes, in various stages of aerobic debt and recovery, somehow manage to avoid any season-ending collisions.
Running in the climate-controlled space might not fulfill the stereotypical image of a Stotan, but the team knows it's the more prudent training choice for intervals than the city streets. "During the winter, I always tell my athletes to go where they can get in the best speed work," says Jason Karp, author of the coaching manual 101 Developmental Concepts & Workouts for Cross Country Runners. "Going inside will make them fitter, and going outside will make the workout suffer." The success formula isn't all about misery; they also work speed and specific fitness.
Every Grizzly cross country athlete is not in attendance this morning for track practice, but that doesn't mean anyone is playing hooky. Davis, who doesn't coach track but has still shown up for the workout, encourages his athletes to participate in a range of sports throughout the year, whether that's Nordic skiing in the winter or soccer instead of track in the spring. "Doing other sports stresses different muscles while continuing to build our endurance," says John Thomas, the fourth runner on the team, who is also a member of the soccer team.
It's not uncommon for some athletes to view cross country as their second-best sport behind Nordic skiing. A handful of those sprinting intervals in the Dome, however, aspire to run in college, and several have successfully made the jump.
Anna Trujillo finished eighth at state cross country in 2012 and is now running at Carleton College in Minnesota. "Coach Davis helped me make a running resume, and at the bottom he put an asterisk for the Alaska Factor," Trujillo says. "It talked about how we had hilly courses, severe weather and a short season."
The team considers a 16:40 5K for a boy and a 20-minute 5K for a girl all-state-caliber times, considerably slower than top times in the lower 48, which dip into the low 15-minute and 17-minute ranges. Alum Jacob Kirk won the 2008 cross country state championships in 15:43, but even his time is slow relative to his track marks of 4:22 for the mile and 9:16 for the 2-mile, both school records, which he set the following spring. Kirk now competes for Montana State in Bozeman and earned 2012 Big Sky all-conference honors in cross.
"We thought that Jacob and the many others [from Alaska] who have found their way to Montana have not done specific running training year-round, but most of these kids Nordic ski in the winter months and therefore are doing some aerobic training," says Kirk's coach, Dale Kennedy. The athletes are often fitter than they appear and, given their seasonal breaks from running, ripe with potential. "We factor in the short season and the harsh climate as an upside," says Kennedy.
Ashley Mortensen competed for the Grace Christian team from 1998 to 2002 and famously finished second individually at state cross country four years in a row. Her senior year she wanted to see how she stacked up at Foot Locker but had difficulty peaking twice in two months. This was BTD, or Before the Dome, and she ran her mile repeats up and down flights of stairs at school. "You're just trying not to break your teeth," she says. Mortensen never placed high at the Foot Locker West Regional, but she still went on to compete at Division II Malone College in Ohio. "My first cross country meet in college was on a golf course at Penn State," recalls Mortensen, who was used to rutted trails. "I thought it was hysterical that they called it cross country–the course was on a manicured fairway." Illustrating the Alaska Factor, Mortensen improved from a 19:59 5K that placed her second at the 2001 Alaska state cross country meet to a 18:39 PR on the track in college.
This season, the Grace Christian boys return their top five runners and the girls five of their varsity seven from 2012. Both are perfectly positioned to make state history, with one exception. They will be competing without Coach Davis. After 17 years at Grace Christian, he has taken the principal's job at the public high school in Port Alsworth, a 160-person community on a lake where his family has a summer cabin. In his absence, Tara Edwards, the cross country assistant coach for the past 10 years, will take over. "I'm very excited and a little nervous," she says. "I do feel pressure, but not from parents or colleagues–just internal pressure to continue an excellent program."
Can Grace Christian make state history with its third coach in eight years? Yes, because the nucleus of the team is not anchored by any one individual but by its culture. Coach Davis has managed to turn Alaska's inclement weather into a positive and convince his athletes that September snowstorms and gale force winds are the best things that could happen to them. In turn, the team has developed a collective belief that whatever race day throws at them won't be any more difficult than what they've already experienced in practice.
As I prepared to leave Anchorage, I ventured out for a last run on a morning when the forecast said the temperature "feels like minus 6," and the wind violently whipped the hotel flags around. A curtain remained down on the skyline, blocking all views and reducing even the sun to a tiny orange glow no brighter than a nightlight struggling to break through the darkness.
I considered what I'd learned. Alaska might not be the most comfortable place to train, but that difficulty feeds the blue-collar mentality of the long-distance runner and builds the ironclad resolve necessary to excel in cross country. As in many other elements of life, the runner's perspective turns the conventional wisdom of "perfect conditions" on its head.
I turned back toward the Sheraton into a surge of frosty air that bit my cheeks, but I no longer felt the chill. Nothing about this morning–the hour, temperature or distance–was as bad as I had imagined. Back at the hotel I added on an extra minute. Run for joy. Depending on how one defines "perfect," this just might be.

Schecter Stealth C-7
The Schecter Stealth C-7 is an affordable 7-string guitar from their new Korean-made Stealth 2014 series.
Related Feature:
7 String Guitar Creativity
As the name implies, the Stealth series are designed to be discrete in terms of sound, playability and look. Common to all guitars is the use of Schecter's SuperRock II humbucker pickups.
To give the Stealth C-7 its "stealth" look, Schecter designed the arched double cutaway body to be slimmer and lighter. The set neck complements the thinner body with its "Ultra Access" joint, allowing players to reach the higher frets with ease. Its lightweight body and easy access neck joint allows the guitar to be true to its name - letting you play and carry it around with little effort.
At the core of this guitar is a mahogany body carved into a slim double cutaway shape with arched top contour. The body is joined to a "thin C" profile mahogany neck with a 24-fret rosewood fretboard. It has a scale length of 26.5", and 16" fretboard radius, while the Graphtech XL nut comes with a width of 1.889".
Two Schecter Diamond SuperRock-II pickups are used on both the neck and bridge position. The pickups are wired to a three-way selector with a tone knob and a push-pull volume knob for coil tapping.
The Stealth C-7 comes with a Hipshot Hardtail with string through body design custom made for 7 strings. Other features include a 2-way adjustable truss rod, metal knurled knobs, black 1-ply binding on the body and pearloid offset/reverse dot inlays.
Aside from the Stealth C-7, the other two new 6-string models are the Stealth C-1FR (Floyd Rose) and Stealth C-1 (Hardtail bridge). They also come in various finishes - Satin Black (SBK), Satin Red (SRED), Satin White (SWHT), and Satin Silver (SSV) finishes.
The new Scecter Stealth C-7 has a list price of $799, but you can now pre-order the guitar for only $549! Quite affordable for a good looking 7-string if I may say. You can visit Schecter Guitars for more information.

Doug Fleener is The Business Contrarian
Fresh perspective. Real world solutions. Proven results.
The best learning experiences happen when someone's current thinking and approach is challenged.

People improve and benefit from discovering how much better they can be, and then doing it.
That's why audiences love, and meeting planners choose, Doug Fleener.
Fleener, the former director for retail for Bose Corporation, is a business contrarian and consultant known for bringing fresh thinking and powerful ideas to his consulting clients, and in his engaging and entertaining keynotes, breakouts, and workshops.

He shares the positive actions people can take to differentiate their business, improve themselves and their teams, and deliver more engaging and productive customer service experience.
Five things to know about Doug Fleener
1. As a professional speaker, Fleener has spoken over 100 times a year for more than a decade.
2. Over 85% of Doug's engagements are referrals or repeat clients.
3. His expertise has been cited in 300+ publications including The New York Times, Fast Company, Forbes, and Entrepreneur.
4. Fleener is the author of the book The Profitable Retailer, and the soon to be published Extraordinary Ordinary Leadership
5. Noted areas of expertise include customer experience, daily leadership and coaching, business simplicity, sales leadership, specialty retail, and revenue growth.
Fleener doesn't just talk about differentiating a business. He delivers it. As one meeting planner said about Doug, "His approach was refreshing, entertaining, and most important, was relevant and something my attendees could immediately apply."

AP News Begins Charging Web News Providers
Slashdot and the Sun-Sentenial are reporting that the AP is going to be charging for re-purposing it's news on the internet. That may reduce the number of sites that are posting AP news, and may lead to other restrictions on how you get your news. One of the question marks is the effect on news aggregators like Google News, Yahoo News, Ananova, etc. It's not clear what the consequences will be long-term, but for now it certainly is a test case that will help to determine the paradigms for the future.
Note that AP is still providing news, and you seem to still be able to get the RSS feeds free at http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/fronts/...B&SECTION=HOME. Plus, the sites that do pay the licensing costs (already about 300 customers) will continue to be providing the news. |

I think this change only applies to AP partners and clients who publish AP stories for commercial use. For instance, the NYT which is available both in print and online, was paying AP only for publishing their stories in the print medium. Now they are required to also pay for publishing AP stories online.
Nothing changes for us when we are linking to AP stories or discussing them or even quoting parts of them. How it will affect Google News and the like, I don't know I am sure Google shareholders shouldn't be too happy about this development. |

The African Presence in Santo Domingo
Publication Year: 2012
Throughout its long and often tumultuous history, "La Hispanola" has taken on various cultural identities to meet the expectations — and especially the demands — of those who governed it. The island shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti saw its first great shift with the arrival of Spanish colonists, who eliminated the indigenous population and established a pattern of indifference or hostility to diversity there. This enlightening book explores the Dominican Republic through the lens of its African descendants, beginning with the rise of the black slave trade in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century West Africa, and continuing on to slavery as it existed on the island. An engaging history that vividly details black life in the Dominican Republic, the book investigates the slave rebellions and evaluates the numerous contributions of black slaves to Dominican culture.

Manufacturer: Likit
Model: Mini Likit
Category: Horse Treats
Likes: They are simple licks, which smell lovely! My horses absolutely adored the sweetest ones which were the cherry and banana flavours! I didnt they they'd like these 2 as they're quite odd things for horses (unlike the usual garlic, apple etc. others). I've found these MOST useful for stressy times, for example the other day I simply held a cherry likit in my hand and my baby horse licked it for ages until the farrier had finished (usually he misbehaves)! All mine LOVED the taste.
Dislikes: They didn't work that well in the tongue twister they were in as in the end the likits broke up and fell out..... Not good as I didnt want my horses eating big chunks of the licks.
It depends on your horse but 2 of mine loved them so much, they wouldnt stop licking until they were gone! Then they had weird coloured (yellow or pink etc.) gunky lips! Whereas my other horses got bored with them but I think this is only because they got frustrated with the Tongue Twister they were in!
Quality: They're well made and must taste delicious. They smell really strongly of their flavour too. However, they can crack up into pieces so Id watch your horses with them in case this happens as Id hate mine to try to eat big chunks of very hard stuff!
Summary: Very useful for stressful situations where you want your horse to be calm and amused (such as with the farrier, vet etc.). They're very cheap and horses love them!

Maybe your child doesn't love eating salad at home, but he does if you're at a restaurant where he gets to pick the fixin's at a salad bar. Use that same concept for school lunches. Ask him about his favorite kind of lettuce and what he likes to add to make a salad tasty. Maybe it's grilled chicken, dried cranberries, mandarin oranges, and croutons (which you can make by slicing up stale bread and baking it in the oven). Put those items in little containers that he can mix in with his salad greens on his own. Taking part in food preparation can make meals more enticing for kids. Just be sure to use a low-fat salad dressing.

This image from video provided by the FBI, shows Aaron Alexis in the hallway of Building No. 197 at the Washington Navy Yard on Sept. 16, carrying a Remington 870 shotgun. Alexis, a 34-year-old former Navy reservist and IT contractor, shot and killed 12 people inside a Navy Yard building before being killed in a shootout with police.
There seemed to be a strange sense of business as usual after a gunman went on a rampage Sept. 16, killing 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard.
President Barack Obama weighed in with some perfunctory remarks before transitioning to a condemnation of congressional Republicans. And there were predictable calls for more gun laws. But, with the exception of cries of the victims' grieving families and friends, the nation's response to the latest mass murders was oddly lacking in passion.
Maybe the explanation for this phenomenon lies in the frequency of these mass killings. The Navy Yard bloodbath was just one in a series. After a nation has witnessed mass murders on military bases, a movie theater, even school classrooms, maybe we have become numb to the very idea of random killing of innocent men, women and children in this country.
Another possible explanation is a growing national sense of helplessness. The human instinct in response to such tragedies is to plead for something to be done to stop them from happening again. But the list of possible solutions is a short one.
A call for gun control is the logical response. But even if that were the answer, which is not obvious, it should be clear by now that is not going to happen. And it's not just that the NRA can be counted on to strangle gun-control legislation.
There is a reason why the NRA is so effective: The fact is, Americans by and large support defending their constitutional right to bear arms, especially those Americans who vote and write checks to political candidates.
Another logical response is to call for tighter security, either to keep killers out of public places or to arm those who could shoot the shooter. Taken to its logical conclusion, however, that would have this country looking like a war zone with armed guards at schools, shopping malls and workplaces and bullets flying in every direction at the first hint of a shooting.
Lately there has been more talk of focusing on a mental health solution, since mass murderers typically exhibit signs of mental illness long before they go over the edge. There is much to be learned about what motivates someone to commit suicide while blazing away until the bullets run out. And early intervention by mental health professionals might prevent a troubled individual from becoming a deranged killer. But it's not clear exactly how that would work, at whose expense and by what authority.
These are sorts of conversations prompted by mass shootings. While the answers are not obvious and the pushback from opponents may be paralyzing, these conversations and the search for solutions are essential. They are not just part of a national grieving process. They are a necessary pursuit of change that, we can only hope, might bring an end to the senseless violence in our society.

Inside Out Carrot Cake Muffins
These Inside Out Carrot Cake Muffins are the perfect treat for breakfast, snack time or even dessert! The cream cheese filling bursts out of the top of the muffin, making them just as pretty as they are tasty!
Muffins are pretty under-rated in my house.
The lack of frosting piled on top is a deal breaker…sometimes a streusel will solve this issue, sometimes a glaze…but generally no one ever requests muffins.
But I think I have solved the issue with these Inside Out Carrot Cake Muffins. Because Cake.
And also because there is frosting baked inside.
It's like a hidden treasure….except the fact that the frosting begs to be seen and not heard. It peeks out of the top of the muffins while they are baking like, "Hey y'all I'm hereeeeee!
Whatever. My frosting doesn't like to be kept on the DL…
So yeah, it's basically carrot cake for brekkie. Done.
Also, here's my work space. Remote Control and all.
Grate up some carrots. Dare I say there is a health factor to these?
And assemble…
Bake them up and they are gorgeous little breakfast cakes.
Can't beat that.
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2¼ cup flour
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ¾ cup water
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup grated carrots
- Preheat oven to 400°
- Line muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl until creamy, about 1 minute. Set aside.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and brown sugar together in bowl, set aside.
- In another medium sized bowl whisk eggs, oil and water together until foamy.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet and fold in the carrots.
- Place 2 Tablespoons of muffin batter into the bottom of each muffin tin. Top with i Tablespoon of cream cheese mixture and finally drop another tablespoon of muffin batter on top of that, covering the cream cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes until the muffins are set.
- Serve warm or room temperature

I love the functionality of this idea. Too many times I've stuffed my face with a cupcake (and/or muffin) only to smash frosting onto my nose, eyes, and sometimes hair. It's possible that I'm just devouring them too carelessly, but I'd like to think the cupcake structure is at fault. Kudos! #FrostingOnTheInside

June 4, 2014 at 8:47 am

This paper develops a software service for dynamic performance optimization and control in performance-sensitive systems. The next generation of performance-sensitive systems is expected to be more distributed and dynamic. They will have multiple "knobs" that affect performance and resource allocation. However, relying on the conglomeration of independent knob controls can become increasingly suboptimal. The problem lies in performance composability or lack thereof; a challenge that arises because individual optimizations in performance-sensitive systems generally do not compose well when combined. Performance adaptation in such systems needs to be carefully designed and implemented by holistically considering performance composability in order to achieve desired system performance. A flexible supporting software layer is therefore needed to easily apply different holistic performance management techniques. In this paper, we develop a software service, called OptiTuner, that monitors the current performance and the resource availability in performance-sensitive systems and allows easy implementation of different performance management schemes based on theoretical concepts of constrained optimization and feedback control. In order to show the efficacy of OptiTuner, we apply it to implement three holistic energy minimization techniques in a real-time web server farm comprising 18 machines. Using an industry standard e-Business benchmark, TPC-W, we demonstrate that the three approaches save up to 40 percent of total energy cost compared to the baseline approaches that do not holistically optimize the cost.
Performance composability, software service, energy minimization, data center, server farm.

Apple has released iPod Software 1.2.6, a new version of its iPod system software that provides improved battery management which solves a problem that may appear to shorten your iPod's battery life. "Some customers have reported that over time their iPod's battery life has declined," Apple says. This update enables the iPod to more accurately monitor its battery charge, thus using the entire battery capacity and regaining long battery life. The result is longer playback time and extended standby time. After updating the iPod, customers can expect at least 10 days of standby battery life on a full charge.

MacNN reader Will Dean reports on a security hole in Mac OS X 10.2.4, which exposes a user's .Mac password as plain text. (Earlier this week, Apple notified customers of Samba Security Bug in OS X and promised an update.)
"This bug has been confirmed in Mac OS X 10.2.4 and also occurs in a recently leaked build of 10.2.5 (6L11) and may affect older versions as well. There is a major security hole in the Keychain Access application."When you open up the Keychain application, you will see a list of stored passwords for the various services, such as your e-mail, Airport and iChat. When a user opens the Keychain application and selects the iTools password keychain and then clicks on the "show passphrase" option (on bottom of page), the user's .Mac password will be exposed [in plain text] without authentication.
"The only way to protect the password is to lock all keychains; by default Apple sets all keychains to unlock. Whenever you unlock a keychain all of them unlock. Note: This bug only affects a user's .Mac password, not other passwords in the Keychain. [Other Keychain password entries require authentication before the display of the password. Users can also change the 'Access Control' of the password to protect the display of this password.]" [updated]
Apple has confirmed that it is discontinuing the original iMac, coinciding with the disappearance of the CRT iMac yesterday morning from the Apple Store.

The Long Island Mac Users Group notes that an retail Apple Store will open at the Walt Whitman Mall in New York: "Construction has been started on a new Apple Store in the Walt Whitman Mall in Huntington Station. It's where the FYE record shop used to be. It's in section 'G' not far from Bloomingdales. Expect the store to open around the middle of May... I wonder how this new store will affect the nearby Apple dealer B.C. Computers on Depot Road. Curious how The Apple Retail Stores seem to pop up next to The Sharper Image stores. The new store has not yet been announced at [Apple's retail Website]."

Llandudno man charged with attempted murder
Live updates
World's fastest blind biker to raise funds for veterans
A daredevil Army veteran living in Llandudno holds the world record for being the fastest blind motorcyclist.
And Billy Baxter is calling on bikers from across the country to rev up and support vision-impaired military veterans.
Billy set himself the challenge of getting back into motorcycling after going blind. With the help of outriders who communicate with him over radio, Billy has become the world's first blind motorcycle stunt driver.
At Donington Park, in front of 35,000 people, he also set the new blind land-speed record of 164.87mph.
Now, Billy is calling on bikers to sign up to Ride for Life Beyond Sight Loss, a 340-mile rally to raise money for Blind Veterans UK, the charity which helped him regain his independence after he lost his sight.
A former Royal Artillery Staff Sergeant, Billy lost his sight in 1997 after a rare virus destroyed his optic nerves
"A lifelong biker, Billy says, "Biking has always been a huge part of my life – from learning to ride on a cut-down scooter in a field as a teenager to running reconnaissance missions of gun positions on a military bike when I was in the Army.
"Bikers have big hearts and the biking community has no idea how important they were to me when I was coming to terms with sight loss. The whole biking ethos – community, achievement, doing what you love, no matter what – was an integral part of my healing process."
Places for Ride for Life Beyond Sight Loss are currently available for a registration fee of £15 per rider. The event kicks off in Llandudno on Saturday 26th July.
Llandudno named in top 10 UK destinations
Llandudno has been named in the top 10 UK destinations, according to the travel website TripAdvisor.
The list of popular destinations is based on ratings from travellers.
London was placed in the top spot, with Edinburgh and Torquay in second and third place.
Llandudno is in 8th place, above Leeds and Birmingham.
Llandudno dog owners 'penalised' by Conwy Council

Row breaks out in Llandudno over 'disappearing sand'
A campaign has been launched in Llandudno to restore the resort's famous beach to its original glory.
Tonnes of stone and rock is being brought in to strengthen sea defences there as Conwy Council says its aim is to protect the area and its real estate.
But locals say the sea defence work has cost them their once beautiful beach - and they want their sand back.
Man jailed after taxi driver loses eye in attack
A North Wales taxi driver had his left eye removed after he was attacked by a wild passenger Mold Crown Court has heard.
The victim Richard Brennan Mattison was maimed for life and now faces an uncertain future – with the possibility that he may lose the sight in his other eye.
His attacker Russell Owen Thomas, 26, of of Bodhyfryd Road in Llandudno, was jailed for three years after he admitted wounding and damaging Mr Mattison's Fiat taxi vehicle.
Mold Crown Court heard how Thomas – who has a previous conviction for robbery – head-butted the Perspex screen protecting the driver and a jaggered piece severed his left eye.
Thomas then callously left him alone in the dark – badly injured and bleeding profusely.
Thomas had thrown £20 for the fare through the gap and £45 for the damage.
A police officer realised the enormity of the injury and called an ambulance and he was rushed to Glan Clwyd Hospital at Bodelwyddan where he remained for a week.
Judge Peter Heywood said, "You caused a catastrophic injury to this taxi driver which have blighted his life. In my view, taxi drivers working in the early hours of the morning to ensure that people get home safely are vulnerable."
Victim Richard Brennan Mattison said he's been subjected to "gangster style intimidation" and said he had been threatened with death if he gave his attacker's name to the police.
"It's personal" say hoteliers on world's best list
A seaside hotel in Llandudno has been named the world's thirst best bargain hotel, moving three positions up from its ranking in sixth place last year.
The Lauriston Court Hotel was also named the number one bargain hotel in the UK.
Carol-Lynn and Ian Robbins, owners of Lauriston Court, said, "We take pride in the knowledge that our guests appreciate everything we are doing and we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has stayed with us over the past year for helping us to win this award.
"Winning this award is a tremendous achievement for us and the rest of the team at Lauriston Court."
The results of the TripAdvisor 2014 travellers awards also listed another Llandudno hotel, The Wellington, which features in the list of best bargain hotels in Europe, ranking in ninth place.
"We get to know our guests really really well and that's because we've only got 11 bedrooms. Any more and I think we would really struggle because we like to make it personal".
Llandudno hotel named world's third best bargain hotel
A seaside hotel in Llandudno has been named the world's thirst best bargain hotel, moving three positions up from its ranking in sixth place last year, according to the TripAdvisor 2014 Travellers' Choice awards.
The Lauriston Court Hotel was also named the number one bargain hotel in the UK to go alongside top three placings in Europe and the World.
The results of the awards also revealed that Llandudno can celebrate not one but two success stories, with the Wellington Hotel also featuring in the list of best bargain hotels in Europe, ranking in ninth place.

Blind veterans bid to break world records
It takes a lot of courage try one world record. Today, at the base for Blind Veterans UK in Llandudno, a combination of blind ex-servicemen and others tried to break four. So how did they do? We sent Rob Shelley to find out.

I was told not even to consider staying anywhere else in Berlin so took my friends word and booked here. I could not recommend this hostel highly enough. All of the staff were really helpful and friendly. Happy hour has 1 Euro beers, along with a common room fully equipped kitchen. We were blown away by our stay here and would definitely stay again. I would recommend the half day walking tour as well! An awesome way to learn about Berlins history.

- homely feeling
I had a wonderful stay at the EastSeven Berlin Hostel. The staff was very friendly and the place was super clean, especially the washrooms. The lockers provided were also big enough to accommodate large bags/backpacks and they even rented out a padlock to me since I didn't have one. The public lounge, kitchen and garden areas have a homely feeling to them. Overall, I would strongly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a cheap and comfortable place to stay in Berlin.
<Sagun> 09.2012 Eastseven Hostel Berlin
- wonderful stay!
The staff and atmosphere at the East Seven are both helpful and inviting. The rooms were clean, a community kitchen is stocked for cooking, and a friendly multilingual staff are well versed with suggestions for everything from dining out to site seeing to shopping. Rooms were clean and nicely designed. It was nice to not stay in a white box all week like most hostels. Located near the U that takes you where you want to go....the list goes on. This place is a wonderful place to stay while in Berlin!
<Lea> 09.2012 Eastseven Hostel Berlin

I booked very early and had a lot of questions. They always answered it as fast as possible and polite. It was very helpful. Thanks.What i liked very much is the kitchen. It helps a lot if you like to make low budjet holiday.And the free tour we did wos great. A lot of information compared with funny stories in short time. Great!
<Carmen> 09.2012 Eastseven Hostel Berlin
- EastSeven is great
I loved EastSeven hostel. The best thing about the place for me is the staff. They are so nice and friendly. On the morning I was leaving I had to get up early. When I got to reception the woman at the desk gave me not one, but two cups of coffee! it was a really nice gesture and it was much appreciated. I also got to meet some really cool people there and all the guests seemed really nice. EastSeven is great.
<Sam> 08.2012 Eastseven Hostel Berlin
- East Seven Rocks!
I don't normally write reviews of hostels, but I feel the need to write one here - because East Seven hostel is fantastic!!! Firstly, the staff… what can I say… the staff at East Seven are amazing! They're all super knowledgeable, patient and efficient and just generally awesome. From suggestions on where to find things in the city to offerings of extra blankets, they have been incredibly friendly and helpful. I always felt super welcome and that nothing was ever a problem. And the hostel itself is great! During my (extended) stay I found everything consistently and impeccably clean and tidy - props to the hard-working and friendly cleaning team!The bathrooms are modern and clean with consistently issue-free hot water (yay!), the kitchen is fantastic and fully spec'ed (with dishwasher!) and the lounge is comfy and great for meeting and chatting with people. Outside there are leafy areas for sitting and either eating the value-for-money 2 euro breakfast, pondering over postcards or burying yourself in a book. The free wifi reaches outside to satisfy any facebook faffing needs/wants too!Overall, staying at East Seven has been a super enjoyable experience. It's a hostel that has been a great home-away-from-home and a place which I have had already, and will continue to have, no hesitation in recommending to anyone. You rock East Seven!
<Amy> 08.2012 Eastseven Hostel Berlin
- one of the best hostels!
Have stayed in loads of hostels all over the world..(never bothered to write a review tho!)... and have to say this place is brilliant, couldnt fault them on anythiing really, dorms are clean, bathrooms clean, staff are super helpful. Garden area is cool to chill out in and read a book. As a solo traveller I found this place easy to meet and get chatting to other people. Breakfast is pretty basic but for 2euro its fine. Beers for sale at reception is very handy! Probably one of the best hostel
<Cathal> 08.2012 Eastseven Hostel Berlin
- Perfect!
We had a wonderful time at EastSeven, very sad to leave yesterday morning. Staff were excellent, friendly, really knowledgeable and so very helpful. Hostel is a great size, not big but no means small, we had a private room that was lovely, all communal areas are immaculately clean with a fantastic vibe running through out. I found all guest had respect for each other, there belongings and the hostel its self. Free wifi and a great location were also an added bonus!Will be telling every one about EastSeven and plan to visit again!
<Lucy and Lemmi> 08.2012 Eastseven Hostel Berlin
- Best staff!!
The staff here were the best we'v ever encountered. Ann and Carol (I think) were particularly helpful and always said hello when you entered, regardless of what they were doing. The breakfast was cheap at €2 and well worth it for the coffe alone. Laundy was cheap and fast. The area was seconds from a great restauraant strip and metro station. Roms were on the small side but comfortable. Bathrooms had disinfectant spray pumps for use on the toilet, which helps amazingly with the sense of cleanliness!
<Nicholas> 07.2012 Eastseven Hostel Berlin
- Loved everything about it!!
I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone who wishes to have the most brilliant stay in Berlin. Really good Pub crawls and Free walking tours leave from here. Its located at a short walking distance from everything. Their little lawn at the back adds to the splendor of the property and they also have a kitchen. I met the nicest people here and would totally stay here again if i go back to Berlin. The rooms were quite big for a hostel and therefore allowed a lot of space for repacking bags. I loved everything about it
<Scherbano> 07.2012 Eastseven Hostel Berlin
- One of the best hostels!!
One of the best hostels I've stayed at in Europe, definitely the best in Berlin. Super clean with great facilities, including a nice garden and really good kitchen. Staff was super helpful, especially Caro. Will be returning here!
<Charlotte> 07.2012 Eastseven Hostel Berlin
- good info on Berlin
I definitely recommend this hostel for everybody. They re doing good job. Staff is friendly and helpful. We found out many new places to visit. If you want to visit not the touristic part of Berlin. You should talk with the staff about ur plans in Berlin.
<Mustafa> 07.2012 Eastseven Hostel Berlin
I've sayed ay EastSeven last May and I have to say it is the best hostel i've ever been. Extremely clean, the staff is very friendly (specially Steffy!), great ambiance and happy hour and great garden to chill during the day. The only thing that can be changed is not to close the garden at night (i know it is difficult but...). Thank you guys!
<Santiago> 06.2012 Eastseven Hostel Berlin
- EastSeven rocks!
Super clean, modern design, comfortable beds, good location, feels safe, and goes on... fantastic stuff, they can tell you a LOT about the events, city, everything. they deserve every single piece of their Best Stuff Award - Caroline rocks!
<Sonat> 06.2012 Eastseven Hostel Berlin
- Sehr empfehlenswert
Als Jungfamilie mit Baby haben wir uns im EastSeven willkommen und sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Ein Babybett wurde zur Verfügung gestellt. Es hat saubere Räume, Küche und Badezimmer, ist ruhig in der Nacht und trotzdem sehr zentral gelegen.Sehr empfehlenswert!

<WagnersBerlinTrip > 06.2012 Eastseven Hostel Berlin
- Great experience!
Great experience. Quiet place in a quiet neighborhood. Bathrooms were very clean. Wi-fi was free and did work. Private room was amazing. Staff was very helpful. Location is 2 stations away from Alexanderplatz. The only thing I did miss was a TV in the lounge area. This is definitely not a party hostel.
<Moritz> 06.2012 Eastseven Hostel Berlin
- Ideales Hostels
Waren zwei Tage hier - und sind rundherum zufrieden! Sehr gute Lage (2 min zur U-Bahn, zwei Stationen zum Alexanderplatz) in guter Nachbarschaft (Prenzlauer Berg), originelle und geschmackvolle Einrichtung, Top gepflegt und absolut sauber, freundliche und sehr organisierte Mitarbeiter. Es war nachts vollkommen ruhig. Die vielen nützlichen Keinigkeiten sind angenehm (Leselampe und Steckdose am Bett, ausreichend Ablage- und Hängemögichkeiten in Bad und Zimmer etc.). Guter Kaffee. Das Frühstücksbufett (2€) haben wir nicht probiert, da es in der Nähe viele urige Cafés mit Frühstücksangebot gibt (an der Kastanienallee und auch am Weinbergpark).
<Peter> 05.2012 Eastseven Hostel Berlin
- Definitely one of my favorites!
EastSeven is a fantastic hostel!! It is very clean, has a great kitchen and common room, the rooms are fantastic with lots of space. They have taken care of little things like having a towel rack, bedside storage boxes, a snack bar, a BBQ grill, toilet disinfectants, etc. Definitely one of my favorite hostels in Europe of the 5 that I stayed at.

Nanoscale geometric electric field enhancement in organic photovoltaics
Pegg, Lara-Jane and Hatton, Ross A.. (2012) Nanoscale geometric electric field enhancement in organic photovoltaics. ACS Nano, Vol.6 (No.6). pp. 4722-4730. ISSN 1936-0851
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/nn3007042
Generic design rules for electrode–organic semiconductor contacts that transcend specific materials are urgently required to guide the development of new electrodes and provide a framework for engineering this important class of interface. Herein a novel nanostructured window electrode is utilized in conjunction with three-dimensional electrostatic modeling to elucidate the importance of geometric electric field enhancement effects at the electrode interfaces in organic photovoltaics. The results of this study show that nanoscale protrusions at the electrode surfaces in organic photovoltaics dramatically improve the efficiency of photogenerated charge carrier extraction to the external circuit and that the origin of this improvement is the local amplification of the electrostatic field in the vicinity of said protrusions. This wholly geometric approach to engineering electrodes at the nanoscale is materials generic and can be employed to enhance the efficiency of charge carrier injection or extraction in a wide range of organic electronic devices.

We're closing tomorrow on our house with a VA loan. We got the HUD form from our loan officer that had all the numbers and what not, it said we'd be getting almost $300 back at closing. A few hours later we got it from our realtor and the attorney saying we'd be getting $31 back at closing.. I've been trying to figure out where that difference of over $200 changed but a lot of the wording is different and there's a ton of numbers/sections my heads just spinning lol. I'm mostly just curious how that difference happened, I noticed one thing that was different but it was only like $15-20 difference and it was because one say daily rates for 4 days and the other for 5 days. Anyone else have that? Is there an easier way to figure it out?
Well the loan officer said we'd be getting it back and their page said almost $300.... the one from the attorney said $31 or something. I think it'd be coming from the earnest and due diligance we paid out in the beginning...
Quoting abecee:Exactly what happened to us. We were told we would get $315.00 back at closing; didn't happen. When I asked about it I was told that on a va loan they don't refund they put it toward credits or something that is explained (?) on another page of the closing documents.
