Historical Traveler Reviews Ramada Fort Lauderdale Airport/Cruise Port
Good for pre or post cruise!
This property seems to get a huge range of reviews. We liked it fine for a one-night stay before our cruise. Shuttle from the airport was efficient and prompt. Check-in was reasonably quick and friendly and we were lucky to have a room that was ready. Our room was clean and well appointed - room safe, iron/board, hair dryer, nice TV. Beds were fairly comfortable and oh yeah, the A/C worked great!!!
The hotel restaurant had tasty food (lunch) and we ordered delivery for dinner from the sub/pizza shop which was fine. Free breakfast was OK, not great but we didn't expect gourmet.
Shuttle to the port was a little hectic but there were two ships to organize and one shuttle bus broke down, not the hotel's fault! We got to the port in plenty of time.
The hotel is right off the highway and rather isolated from other properties. We felt safe and it was very quiet at night. If you need to do some shopping or want to go out to dinner, this is not the place for you. But for one or two nights, we thought it was acceptable.
Stay away young Luke!
Ok. I am going to make this simple for you. There are two words that will give you a warning that you could benefit from: 1. DUMP 2. GHETTO.
You can thank me later. Spend the extra money and book a decent, clean room elsewhere.
This place should be more accurately called the Ramada Ashtray/Crapper! Now that the invectives are used up...I am taking the time to write this to warn people planning trips out of a sincere wish to prevent the mistake we made! This is NOT a nice place!!! It is located under an off-ramp and that is the most appealing view this shack offers. The place is set up like a motel, in that the room doors are located on the outside of the building. When we walked to our room we noticed that the room number was on printer paper and taped to the door(no joke). The room itself smelled like an ashtray and was wholly sub-par. The pool and bar etc. looked more like a miniature golf course than a relaxing get-away...was dirty and overrun. We checked out after an hour of searching for another place to stay. More than the dirtiness the place gave an unsettling feeling of being unsafe, unkept and most certainly unrelaxing! Please heed the words of this warning...you get what you pay for...and its worth paying more!!!
Great vacation!
The drive was so long from our home and we were completely exhausted. We were there early and the front desk gentleman was verry polite and helped us check in earlier so we could relax. We were very impressed how everything was so conveinent for our cruising vacation. We were able to have drinks and lunch out by the pool and we were able to leave our car here instead of paying $12 a day at the port (crazy!!!). The hotel even picked us up after our cruies was over so we could drive back home. The cruise was amazing and the hotel stay made everything run smoothly before our vacation in the sun. My husband and I were very pleased with the service and complimentary shuttle and breakfast.
Tired property but a good price
The staff at this hotel were very friendly and the rooms were certainly clean. There were some problems with the "free shuttle" but at least it was free. In each of the four rooms at the hotel we saw, there was something wrong. One showerhead did not have full water pressure. The safe did not work in another room. The water did not drain properly after a shower in another. There was extensive rust showing in one of the "fully rennovated rooms". It looked like they had really cut corners in making the rennovation.
I would tell anyone happy to stay at a two-star that if you would like to pay their two star rates it is great value.
I thought their breakfast was quite good and we ate early before any hefty Americans could show up.
Also, someone remarked there was nothing nearby but a short walk behind this motel there is a great little club/restaurant right on the marina with good live bands. I strongly recommend their food for dinners.
The Good and The Bad:
My husband and I stayed for two nights at this hotel recently pre and post cruise because they offered a shuttle to the cruiseport and the airport. We used a free night stay through the triprewards loyalty program for one night, which helped my sour feelings about this hotel.
First, the good:
The rooms were obviously recently renovated, both of which had new furniture, new carpet (although the installation of the carpet was sub-par in one of the rooms), and a new paint job. The rooms were also nice and clean, which is a priority for me. Some exteriors of the hotel showed wear, but for an older property in a hot, humid climate like Ft. Lauderdale, this is acceptable. The tiki bar was nice enough, it was cute how they placed it in the middle of the courtyard and you had to wind you way along the paths through various palm trees to get to it. The pool was nice, and the water was very warm. The food we got at the tiki bar was not bad, but then again, we only had hamburgers and chicken fingers there. The free hot breakfast was a plus, however, stick to the waffles and cereals unless you are ready for an adventure (who knew sausage gravy was made with cut up brown 'n' serve links?).
The hotel let us check-in early, which was a plus as we had arrived from an airport for our first night and a cruise terminal for our second. The front desk clerks were friendly, and very welcoming. The rooms themselves were large enough for two people (one night we had a king, the other a room with 2 doubles) and both were very comfortable, especially compared to the cozy quarters on a cruise ship. The shuttle offered was very prompt for leaving from the hotel. We made it to our 6:20 am flight out of FLL with no problem (and plenty of time to spare).
Second, the bad:
This hotel definitely showed some signs of being past its heyday. The entire second building of the hotel is apparently under renovation, or abandoned (the property map in the rooms shows the hotel with a second building, but the map given to us at the front desk shows only one building). Regardless, if you do decide to overnight before your cruise at this hotel, don't bother walking to the second building to see the other pool, it is not worth your time.
The shuttle is rather relaxed in terms of pick up to take you to the hotel. Expect to wait a good bit more than a while. We waited an hour for a pick up from the cruise terminal (about a 10 min drive from t he hotel), to find they had sent a van with the in-house travel agency logo on it rather than the Ramada logo (which they had told us would be sent). I also found the signs in the hotel shuttles reminding passengers that gratuities are "greatly appreciated" somewhat offensive. Perhaps I am the only one who tips drivers without question, but this seemed to be a sign indicating that they not paid, were only driving based on tips received.
The food in the on-site restaurant is horrible. I never knew that a caesar salad could be screwed up so horribly. If it had been dressing out of a jar, I would have been fine...but this salad consisted of the dregs of a head of romaine, a couple shavings of cheese, some watery, flavorless dressing type stuff, and a shake of ground pepper. The french onion soup was equally bad. This was foodservice condensed soup, without the water added to uncondense it (having worked in foodservice--with the same supplier as this resaurant-- I know this soup is quite tasty if properly diluted with water). It was unbelievably salty, such that I drank every glass of water on the table (which was never refilled). I didn't bother with the meats or seafood entrees, thankfully. If you are in this hotel for its convenience to the ports, I reccomend ordering from the chinese restaurant (I think the name was Ruby Chens, although I might be wrong) advertised in the hotel book. The chinese place delivered very flavorful food promptly (about 15 min).
The area of the hotel was dismal. There were no places to walk to, seeing as how the hotel was at the intersection of two major (I-95 and a major state road) highways. No conveneince stores remotely nearby to pick up anything you forgot to bring along (if you are going to a cruise with the first stop of key west, you can easily pick up anything you need there). Expect to get to this hotel and stay put or hire a taxi.
All in all, this hotel is okay, provided you arrive late in the day, order your food from a nearby place, and leave early. Oh, and be sure to lower your expectations pre or post cruise.
Okay for a pre cruise stay
I actaually rate this hotel between okay and average. There was a lengthy wait for the airport shuttle so that when we all arrived at the hotel there was then a lengthy wait to check in. Not nice after a long flight.
While it is evident that this hotel has a had major renos, the shear size of its layout and the humidity in the air must call for constant vigilance in upgrading and upkeep.
The rooms were small and well used but clean. They did have that musty smell that comes from a closed up room with lots of humidity.
The pool area was nice with a great garden area to have a drink or just sit and relax.
The restaurant is very pricey for very average food. They are the only place around however unless you take a cab.
Checkout was painless and we made it on to the shuttle for our trip to the cruise terminal which was very convenient.
Dont remember the planes overhead. This is an okay place for a stop over.
Close to airport...as its noise
After reading the reviews I chose this hotel for a 1-night stay. We took a bus up from Key West and stayed here for its proximity to the airport and its free shuttle service for an early flight home. One thing I should have realized is if you stay near an airport you will be subjected to its noise. Instead of counting sheep to fall asleep you can count the planes screaming by, only you won't be falling asleep, unless you spent enough time on an aircraft carrier then you might feel right at home. The hotel itself is nice and has a nice pool area. But I can't imagine it being a very relaxing place with all the airport traffic taking off overhead. We ate at the hotel's restaurant, Toucans, for dinner. I don't know what other people had but the seafood is lousy and the vegetables have no taste - they are steamed into oblivion. Didn't see any other places to eat nearby either. Do yourself a favor and find another place for your last night in beautiful Fort Lauderdale.
Outstanding experience
Check in was easy, they picked us up at the airport and dropped us off at the cruiseship without any delay for free. The room was nice with a big TV and free HBO channels. Very clean, no bugs at all. Though the hotel is not new, it seems to be recently refurbished. The free breakfast and lunch and dinner were great. And the bartender, Manny and the front desk girl, Leda, were very friendly and helpful. For the price, it couldn't have been much better. I don't understand some of the negative reviews I read about this place. Maybe people are confusing this hotel with another. We enjoyed the Ramada SR 84.
Hidden charm
What a nice surprise! So close to everything, but like an island in itself...the free breakfast buffet was a treat, the rooms comfortable and pleasant, and the courtyard a mini paradise! The free shuttle to the port made our cruise a snap. Would definitely go back.

More than ever, the world needs open and easy access to the data that will give all of us options for treatments for serious diseases. We need an easy-to-use platform to collect health data and biological samples. To solve for this need, we've created Registries for All Diseases, understanding that people need a trusted environment to feel secure in the fact that their information is protected and is only used to spur innovations in disease treatments.
Registries for All Diseases is the result of collaboration between more than a thousand disease advocacy organizations (sometimes called support groups). Genetic Alliance, CFIDS Association of America, National Psoriasis Foundation and the Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation, have come together in representation of those organizations, to create a platform for individuals to store and share their medical data and biological samples.
Basic and translational research is accelerating rapidly, however essential elements like data and samples from individuals are not easily accessible by scientists and others trying to discover therapies to alleviate suffering. The Director of the National Institutes of Health has called for a patient-centered research network [1], and clinical data and samples are a critical part of such a network. Once there are easy and safe ways to offer their information to these scientific endeavors, every man, woman and child will be empowered to engage in their health, and the health of future generations, in a meaningful way [2].
In a nutshell, our team seeks to create a cross-disease, systems biology-based, crowdsourced, long tail, aggregated resource critical to advancing translational research on more than 1,000 diseases. In 2003, as a prototype to Registries for All Diseases, Genetic Alliance and several partner organizations developed the Genetic Alliance Registry and BioBank (GARB). GARB's common infrastructure contains over 30,000 samples and clinical records on over 10,000 individuals affected by a dozen diseases. GARB's success in recruiting participants and attracting disease researchers, lays a strong foundation for the creation of a more ambitious registry. Genetic Alliance has a great deal of experience increasing the capacity of disease advocacy organizations, and Registries for All Diseases will create a practical, flexible, tool to accelerate the quest for treatments.
We are focused on empowering people both individually and through disease advocacy organizations, because they are uniquely positioned to recruit and retain individuals into registries and biobanks [3]. More than any other entity in the biomedical research system, they understand their members and the diseases that affect them. They know what these individuals need to stay engaged, share information longitudinally and participate in clinical trials. As an honest broker, these organizations offer an excellent stewardship governance model that allows meaningful citizen engagement in science. Disease advocacy organizations are committed to what matters most to their members.
Registries for All Diseases rests on the principle that individuals are interested in becoming active in improving their health. It will have three levels of engagement.
- A gamified survey to engage people in a gentle and easy way in entering clinical information, entering through Disease InfoSearch (diseaseinfosearch.org).
- A virtual research network, asking individuals to respond to a couple of hundred clinical questions to characterize them for potential research.
- A detailed questionnaire created by a disease advocacy organization, and the opportunity to bank biological samples.
What's special about this project? It empowers individuals to participate in their health, and gives disease advocacy organizations a valuable tool in the quest for therapies. It focuses on what matters most to individuals living with diseases – finding a solution to their health questions; the clinical questions posed by disease advocacy organizations and their members will dominate the activity in the Registries for All Diseases. It empowers individuals to reclaim their health in the form of contributing data and samples.
Registries for All Diseases accelerates translational research by linking clinical information and samples in a dynamic registry that allows recontact in a trusted environment. Because Registries for All Diseases breaks down the silos between diseases, it allows for advanced research into comorbidities stretching across seemingly unrelated diseases. Finally and most importantly, sharing data broadly will transform the competitive paradigm. This will provide an opportunity for any interested party to apply his or her skills to the problems at hand – think about a math and engineering high school student, or retired database analyst – sunshine on the data will cause an explosion in new discoveries.

Romney's Daunting Challenges
The GOP candidate is swimming upstream against an incumbent who presses his advantages to the fullest.
September 22, 2012 - 12:01 am
The swing state polls are discouraging. The news is bleak. The press is filled with articles about what's wrong with the Romney campaign.
And some of those doing the carping hail from the right. Others on the right are busy cheerleading and saying it's all a ploy to demoralize us, and that the polls are rigged. And although there is little doubt that some of the negativity is an attempt to dishearten the right, and that some polls are rigged and others just poorly designed, some of the problems with the Romney campaign are very real.
But every campaign has its inevitable problems — its disagreements and dissension and errors and missed opportunities. Keep on blaming Mitt Romney and you'll miss what's going on. It's not really about Romney at all; he's just the present focus.
Let's take a look back. During the 2008 campaign, it didn't take long to see that Obama would do whatever it took to win, and that he was very good at finding out what that "whatever" might happen to be. In fact, one might say that the politics of destruction, subtle or direct, coupled with the simultaneous ability to present himself as a really nice guy, has been the greatest skill he's demonstrated so far. He certainly isn't good at governing.
Go back to Obama's Chicago days and you'll see it clearly (see this and this if you need a refresher course), and remember what happened to Hillary Clinton in 2008. Despite the fact that she was no political neophyte, Obama mowed her over and she hardly knew what hit her. Flailing around to find an effective way to counter-attack Obama, she came up empty.
Initially, when Obama first became president, it made sense to conclude that his chances for a second term would depend on how well he performed in his first. But in retrospect, it seems clear that Obama's popularity and electability have never rested on his record of accomplishment, and it was an error to think that his becoming president would change that.
And after all, who among his previous supporters is going to turn on him and vote for Romney instead? Not the left, or most liberals. Not white voters who are inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt on his record because they feel so good about themselves when they vote for the black candidate. Still others who probably won't leave Obama are those low-information voters who might theoretically be swayed but who don't like to dig too deeply into things and are pleased with Obama so far because he's "likeable" (whatever that might mean), and who are susceptible to sound bites and headlines in an MSM with a mission to help re-elect Obama by presenting everything Romney does as bad and ignoring or minimizing Obama's errors.

Setting the right scene is crucial to feel at ease and relaxed at home.
Lighting is an unobtrusive, yet very practical way to enhance the atmosphere in your home. Philips provides the latest developments in dimmable LED lighting to help create that perfect atmosphere.
Philips has a wide range of dimmable LED products, making it easy to adjust the light intensity. Our LED dimming technologies are the ideal replacement for incandescent and halogen solutions, in terms of performance, compatibility and light output.
Look for the warm glow dimmable light icon on packaging for Philips LED bulbs that dim from 2700K to 2200K. This creates the same deep, warm tones as a dimmed incandescent.
When a dimmable icon is featured on the packaging, the product can be dimmed with a variety of dimmers. The dimming can go as low as 5% of the maximum initial light output.
|When a non-dimmable icon is featured on the packaging, the product is not compatible with dimmers.
Philips has tested the most popular dimmers in our market to check their compatibility with its fixtures. The dimmers are listed in the dimmer compatibility list.
|View the dimmer compatibility list
for Philips LED fixtures (PDF) >
Pulses are sent by the power company on fixed moments of the day to switch between day and night setting. Also, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, HVAC units, can, at fixed moments, create disturbances on the net when started.
It is possible that interference occurs if power-wires are combined with speaker wires. This can be prevented by creating a larger distance between the 2 input wires of the lamp and the audio installation.
Philips offers a wide selection of dimmable bulbs - including flood and spot lights - and have tested their compatibility with the most popular dimmers in our market.

No, this will give undesirable effects like flickering.
Inside dimmers electronic components are present to prevent flickering and radio disturbances. These components are needed, but can buzz due to their material and physical restrictions. This is a normal behavior. The products are tested on noise level during development and released well below the accepted noise limits standards.

I just spent five extremely busy and exciting days in Los Angeles. And I'm gonna tell you all about that in a minute. First I wanna show you this…
The new issue of MAD Magazine is now out there in the wild, waiting for you to buy it! Issue #510! And I've got a comic in there! My first time in MAD! A few of my cartoonist pals are in there too, right along with legends like Sergio Aragonés and Al Jaffee. It's a gosh dang honor and I still can't quite believe it!
Okay! Moving on: Los Angeles! What a place! I went up last Friday afternoon and was there until Tuesday afternoon. I stayed in Burbank with Natasha Allegri, one of my very best cartoonist friends. I've known Natasha for a long time now, literally since we were both teenagers. We both used to post little journal comics on livejournal. Now she draws comics and works on the show Adventure Time at Cartoon Network and I'm drawing comics and illustrations full-time.
When I got up there on Friday, Natasha met me at the train station. I went with her to Cartoon Network studios. I goofed around and watched cartoons and doodled while she finished up some work.
That night I tagged along to celebrate the birthdays of several people that work on various Cartoon Network shows, one of those people being Natasha. It was an absolute pleasure getting to meet and hang out with so many delightful (and talented) people! I'd attempt to list and link to all the wonderful people I met and talked to but I'd surely forget someone and would feel terrible about it later. I will say thanks to Adventure Time production assistant Patrick Seery (it was his birthday too!) and his brother Chris for driving Natasha and I to and from the festivities and thanks to the incredible John Pham for his wisdom.
On Saturday Natasha and I met up with Pendleton Ward (creator of Adventure Time) and David C. Smith (Adventure Time storyboard revisionist) at Pen's house.
Pen made me play video games with him. I'm not sure what game we were playing (I'm extremely out of the loop when it comes to video games) but we were working together to kill zombies. I wasn't that great at it but it was awesome and fun regardless.
We then went to Griffith Park and had lunch at the Griffith Observatory, which was really cool!
A million thanks to David for playing tour guide and showing me around! Afterwards Natasha and I spent the rest of the day hanging out with Pen. We went to The Dresden (one of the bars featured in the movie Swingers) and doodled for a while. Here's a picture of me, drawn by Pen…
After that we somehow we ended up going to see Re-Animator: The Musical, which was GREAT.
On Sunday I spent the day hanging out with my friends Zach Marcus, Becky Dreistadt and Frank Gibson. We hung out and laughed at terrible old tv shows. They also turned me on to A Town Called Panic. We watched the first 20 minutes or so of the movie and it was amazing. It's been on my mind a lot since then. I'll definitely be watching the rest very soon. Becky, Frank and Zach also took me on a walk around their neighborhood to Secret Headquarters and Vlad The Retailer. Both places were awesome. I picked up a few things at Secret Headquarters to read on the train back to San Diego. That evening we went to a BBQ at our friend Jamie Dee Galey's house. I hadn't seen Jamie in years! Thanks to Jamie and his lady Katie for a super pleasant evening and to Becky, Frank and Zach for hanging out and showing me around their 'hood!
Monday was an extremely busy day for me! This whole trip wasn't simply for fun. The main reason for the trip was top secret meetings. I had not one, not two, but THREE different meetings with different people to go to on Monday and then another one on Tuesday. I don't want to reveal anything about any of the meetings quite yet but I will say that both Monday and Tuesday were very thrilling and surreal.
Monday wasn't just meetings though! That night Natasha and I went down to Hollywood with Thaddeus Couldron (who worked on some my favorite scenes in the Spongebob Squarepants movie and is now working on an upcoming Cartoon Network show). We drank beers and talked about comics and cartoons. After my meeting on Tuesday I spent a little more time goofing off with Natasha in the Adventure Time studios before heading back down to San Diego. Here's Natasha working on Adventure Time stuff…
One of the highlights of Tuesday was realizing that the new issue of MAD Magazine was out and then dashing out of Cartoon Network and running to a magazine shop in Burbank to see it. I bought two copies even though I knew there would be a few copies waiting for me in the mail at home.
Thanks again to Pen, David, Thaddeus, Patrick, Becky, Frank, Zach, Jamie, and Katie for either hanging out, showing me around town, feeding me, or all of the above. Extra special thanks to the delightful people that took time out of their busy schedules to meet with me (you know who you are)! And most of all a super mega double fancy THANK YOU to Natasha and her roommate Amanda Thomas (who works on Cartoon Network's Regular Show!) for letting me sleep on their couch and stink up their apartment for five days.
Woo! This post is longer than I intended it to be. Time to go back into my drawing cave to work on MY BOOK! I really like saying that. MY BOOK.

It was nearly 1 p.m. on Monday before Jill Walker, co-owner of Maccini Construction Co., made it to her office at 2919 United Founders Tower Blvd.
Oklahoma construction company exec gives back to her community
Since Nov. 10 — and until two days after Christmas — Walker is maintaining a second, volunteer job at the Salvation Army command post downtown on NW 5.
She's overseeing the multitude of volunteers who every morning count the loose change dropped this holiday season into the Army's 58 red kettles across Oklahoma County.
"This is my third year to volunteer as counting chair, and I feel responsible," Walker said. "That's the way I am: If I say yes to something, I'm all in."
Though her two sons and daughter are grown, Walker also serves as treasurer of the concession stand at Casady School, from which all three graduated.
Both nonprofit efforts provide her a way to get out in the community and see people, Walker said. "When you own your own small company, work is all you do," she said.
Maccini Construction employs eight, and has some $9 million in annual revenues, she said.
Walker, 59, sat down with The Oklahoman to talk about her personal and professional life. This is an edited transcript:
Q: Can you tell us about your childhood?
A: I grew up in Peoria, Ill., which had a population of a couple hundred thousand; there was 660 in my senior class. My father, a sales manager for 7 Up Bottling Co., died of a heart attack when I was 13. It was the day after Christmas, and he'd only recently passed a clearance physical for a promotion at work.
After his death, my mother went to work for Dillard's, where she managed the hosiery department until six or nine most nights. I became a homemaker to my younger sister and older brother. That didn't leave much time for school activities. But I was a good student, a national merit scholar.
Q: Did your mom remarry?
A: Yes, four years later to my dad's boss and good friend, after a sudden heart attack claimed his wife. There were seven of us kids, ages 16 to 21, and even after our parents' deaths, we remain very close. I have a brother in Alaska, a sister in North Carolina, and the rest still are in Illinois. We all make an effort to get together every few years.
Q: And college?
A: I went to Illinois State University, where I majored in special education and minored in accounting. In high school, I'd volunteered at a blind school, and my plan was to teach blind students. I was touched when I realized many could see more without their sight than we sighted people could. But after I decided I didn't want to teach, and was told I'd have to live in a big metropolitan area to work in the diagnostics end of the field, I just quit college. I was 20 and thought I knew everything. I tried dental hygiene school, while working as a purchasing agent for the State of Illinois. But I didn't like that either.
Q: What brought you to Oklahoma?

Cherry, now 44 and president of the Grand Haven Eagles Women's Auxiliary, wasn't in pain and didn't need to be braced for her scoliosis. She hopes more area families will learn about this sneaky spinal condition now that a new nonprofit organization in Grand Haven is dedicated to scoliosis research and awareness.
The Scoliosis Association of Ottawa County will hold its first meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday in the upstairs portion of the Grand Haven Eagles, 20 N. Second St. The meeting is open to the public to gain information and knowledge about scoliosis.
Subsequent meetings will follow at 7 p.m. on the fourth Thursday of every month.
Kerrie Bassow, the local scoliosis chapter's president and founder, said Thursday's event will be an introductory meeting for people to get acquainted, and offer them materials and resources.
"If one person comes in and I only see that one person, I can't ask for anything more than that," she said. "I just want to be a resource."
Bassow, of Grand Haven Township, began arming herself with information about scoliosis immediately after her then-12-year-old daughter, Libby, was diagnosed with a severe case of scoliosis two-and-a-half years ago.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
aufs (short for advanced multi layered unification filesystem) implements a union mount for Linux file systems.
Developed by Junjiro Okajima in 2006,[1] aufs is a complete rewrite of the earlier UnionFS. It aimed to improve reliability and performance, but also introduced some new concepts, like writable branch balancing,[2] and other improvements – some of which are now implemented in the UnionFS 2.x branch.
The name is acronym which originally stood for AnotherUnionFS, but since version 2 it stands for "advanced multi layered unification filesystem".
Several Linux distributions have chosen aufs as a replacement for UnionFS, including:
- Knoppix live CD Linux distribution – since the end of 2006, "for better stability and performance"[3]
- NimbleX since version 2008. Switched simultaneously with Linux-Live
- Porteus LiveCD, run fully in RAM
- Slax (and Linux-Live scripts in general) since version 6[4]
- Xandros Linux distribution, available in the ASUS Eee PC model 901
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Live CD
- Debian 6.0 Live media
- Gentoo Linux LiveDVD 11.0[5]
- Gentoo Linux LiveDVD 11.2[6]
- Gentoo Linux LiveDVD 12.0[7]
- Salix Live via Linux-Live scripts until version 13.1.1 and via SaLT from version 13.37
- Puppy Linux Versions can run fully in RAM with changes saved to disk on shutdown. For example Slacko 5.3.3 running as a LiveCD.
Known problems[edit]
aufs seems to have problems with some underlying file systems, notably Btrfs.[8]

|The Game Story:
|NORTON, MA- The Wheaton College men's lacrosse team saw a 5-2 lead wiped out during visiting Roger Williams University's seven-goal second period, and the Lyons could not recover while falling, 14-11 on Wednesday in Mirrione Stadium. Wheaton is now 2-7, while the Hawks reached .500 at 5-5.
The visitors scored the first goal of the game after two minutes had expired, but the Lyons produced four of the final five in the period and nabbed a 5-2 lead 51 seconds into the second stanza. Senior Richie Rasamny (Redding, CT/Joel Barlow) had two goals by then, while sophomore Tim Horan (Cheshire, CT/Cheshire) contributed three assists. Roger Williams responded with seven straight markers during a 12:08 span, beginning with junior Packy Markham's (Cutchogue, NY/Saint Sebastian's School) tally 19 seconds after Wheaton's fifth marker. Classmate Dave Hurley (Hanover, MA/Hanover) had a hat trick and an assist during the run.
With his team trailing 9-5, Rasamny scored with 11.3 seconds remaining before halftime, and sophomore Drew Schaffer (New Haven, CT/Loomis Chaffee School) tallied 39 ticks after the intermission on a man-up opportunity to cut Wheaton's deficit to 9-7, the first of three instances where the hosts rallied to within two.
The Lyons' quick 2-0 run was met by two straight goals from the Hawks that made it 11-7 before the teams again traded two-goal runs. Markham's fifth marker made it 13-9 with 8:14 remaining in the game, but junior defender Marco Barbone (Newton, MA/Newton North) countered 16 seconds later, and freshman Ben Cederberg (Duxbury, MA/Duxbury) scored off a Horan helper with Wheaton a man down and 5:06 left to make the score 13-11. However, Markham scored again at 3:58, and the Hawks salted away the victory when the Lyons received a two-minute penalty with less than two minutes remaining.
Rasamny led Wheaton with four goals on the day, while Barbone had his first two of the season from his spot in the backfield. Horan finished with five assists, the most by a Lyon since May 2006, while freshman Chris Landers (Manchester, MA/Proctor Academy) added a goal and an assist. Sophomore Schuyler Horn (New Hartford, CT/Kingswood-Oxford School) made nine saves.
Markham paced the Hawk offense with six goals and one assist despite not scoring in the first quarter, while Hurley had four markers and two helpers. Senior Slade Patterson (Needham, MA/Proctor Academy) added a pair of tallies, while junior Beaver Barone (Weymouth, MA/Weymouth) scored once and contributed two assists. Senior Bobby Hensley (Simsbury, CT/Simsbury) turned aside 11 shots.
The Lyons remain at home on Saturday, hosting Clark University in a Pilgrim League contest at 1:00 p.m.
SCORING: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Final

Can Pollard be serious.....
posted at 5/7/2012 12:33 PM EDTOr is he simply stupid?
The end of football is coming? Really?? What a knucklehead.
This post has been removed.
Re: Can Pollard be serious.....
posted at 5/7/2012 1:13 PM EDTFirst, yes he's a huge idiot. His comments actually made me less intelligent reading them
Second, he could be right about football not being around in 20-30 years, but not for the reasons he believes and actually his thought process would cause the demise.
The first nail might come when the insurance companies stop insuring the different programs. Insurance companies are looking long and hard at the fact that more and more kids are getting concussions and the parents are suing more often. At one point or another insurance companies might no longer insure high school or even pee-wee football programs. Without that insurance no program will assume the risk themselves
The second nail will come when parents no longer want their kids to have their brains smashed in. Now lower income families who dream their kids to become millions in the league will still exist but what about the vast majority of parents in the middle class? Football is the most dangerous sport for concussions, three times higher then the next most dangerous (girls soccer). The more these reports come out and players continue dying because of brain trauma related issues the less likely middle class parents will want their kids in such a dangerous sport without proper protection
The third nail will come when less competitive colleges in the most costly to insure states (CA being one) decide the benefit of having a football team isn't worth the risk of a multi-action lawsuit by former players as more findings about concussions comes out.
Eventually if something isn't done the talent level in the NFL will diminish and the fans who are use to the current level of competition will become less interested and profits will begin to diminish. Then the profits will diminish to the point where the players are making more the owners (like the NBA) a major lockout/strike will happen. With a weakening fanbase the NFL could face what the NHL saw where it took years for them to recover.
It might not sound likely but it's a very real possibility of happening as everything is in place for it to happen. I believe Goodell already saw this coming down the pipe and has plans in place to counter this from happening
Re: Can Pollard be serious.....
posted at 5/7/2012 3:16 PM EDTI tend to agree with him. Although the ratings clearly don't back me up, I feel like the NFL is going downhill. Between inconsistent penalty calls on big hits and the fact that I used to know what constituted a catch but now you might as well just flip a coin, my overall enjoyment of the game has gone down. I can't stand the fact that you pretty much can't hit recievers over the middle anymore. The "defenseless" reciever is a joke. You know how you defend yourself? Don't jump two feet in the air with your arms extended over your head to catch the ball. These rules put the defensive players in a no win situation. If you hit the guy it's a 15 yard penalty and if you lay up it's a catch. It used to be that that reciever got destroyed and came back to the huddle and told the QB not to do that to him again. I can understand a player like Pollard's frustration.Although it is tragic what is happening to these players when their careers are over (highlighted by Seau and Duerson), when it comes right down to it I (and I don't believe I'm alone) want to see big hits and physical football. If they start taking this out of the game and making it arena football (which is the direction the league is going), then they will eventually lose viewership. If you don't think this could happen, look at professional boxing and the UFC. Pro boxing, heavyweight in particular used to be a big draw. As their product started to slip people tuned in less and less. Now people want to see the more violent ultimate fighting so that is more popular now. In the offseason we sit here and talk about concussions and player safety, but come the regular season we will want to see real hitting and get angry when that personal foul flag gets thrown on a violent textbook hit that knocks a guy out of the game with a concussion.
Re: Can Pollard be serious.....
posted at 5/7/2012 4:19 PM EDT
One other consequence of the high profile that the NFL enjoys is that nitwits like Pollard are asked questions by the media and then have an opportunity to confirm what most suspected for quite awhile: that he really is a nitwit. One other thing I gathered from the interview: although not confirmed, he sure likes to convey the impression that he enjoys injuring other players. Sterling fellow.

Re: Can Pollard be serious.....
posted at 5/8/2012 3:52 AM EDTI have been wat!ching the NFL since 1968-it's by far been my favorite sport. That being said the game has and is changing and for the worse. I see the writing on the wall and will be officially retiring as a viewer once Tom Brady retires,(3 years ?),---the game will be destroyed in 3-5 years and turn into a rough version of two hand touch football-and defenses will be straight jacketed so all these passing records are going to need aterics next to them. Sad but true-best sport destroyed---what a shame, because tennis,golf,baseball and that dreaded modern day basketball are not worth the time---I'd rather paint my house than watch em.
Re: Can Pollard be serious.....
posted at 5/8/2012 9:44 AM EDTMoney talks. As long as there is money to be made, the game will be the game. And, Pollard will still be a low IQ inbred.
Re: Can Pollard be serious.....
posted at 5/8/2012 5:43 PM EDTSo let me get this straight ... according to Bernard ... as long as we pay for it with our own money ... he would be OK if a few of us put a contract out for someone to hurt him ... say for each ACL / knee (one for Tom, one for Wes) and an ankle (for Gronk).I thought that would be against the law .. but I guess not if you are a punk.

On Sunday, the official site of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) went offline. On a couple of the website's subdomains, Anonymous hackers published a message in memory of Aaron Swartz, the Reddit co-founder and activist who recently committed suicide.
"Whether or not the government contributed to his suicide, the government's prosecution of Swartz was a grotesque miscarriage of justice, a distorted and perverse shadow of the justice that Aaron died fighting for […]," the hacktivists wrote on the defaced pages.
"Moreover, the situation Aaron found himself in highlights the injustice of U.S. computer crime laws, particularly their punishment regimes, and the highly-questionable justice of pre-trial bargaining. Aaron's act was undoubtedly political activism; it had tragic consequences," they added.
The hackers ask the government to "reform" computer crime and copyright and intellectual property laws.
"We call for this tragedy to be a basis for greater recognition of the oppression and injustices heaped daily by certain persons and institutions of authority upon anyone who dares to stand up and be counted for their beliefs, and for greater solidarity and mutual aid in response," they wrote.
"We call for this tragedy to be a basis for a renewed and unwavering commitment to a free and unfettered internet, spared from censorship with equality of access and franchise for all."
They concluded their statement by apologizing to MIT administrators for temporarily taking over the website.
MIT has ordered an internal investigation into the case of Swartz. Furthermore, JSTOR – the digital library that accused him of illegally downloading content – has released its own statement regarding Swartz's death.
At the time of writing, the main MIT site appeared to be working properly. The subdomains that hosted the hacktivists' message have been taken offline.
In the meantime, a petition to remove United States District Attorney Carmen Ortiz from office for overreach in the case of Aaron Swartz has been created. The petition appears to be supported by both Anonymous and the controversial Kim Dotcom.

PEORIA, ARIZ. — Mat Latos appreciated the advice Reds manager Dusty Baker had for him early in camp.
From a person that was on the forefront of a major trade myself, Ive had some advice for him, Baker said. Be yourself, dont put any pressure on yourself. He doesnt have to prove anything. Just pitch. And hopefully hell get better through progression of experience and time.
Latos was the Reds biggest acquisition of the offseason. They gave up last years Opening Day starter, Edinson Volquez, plus No. 1 draft picks Yonder Alonso, Yasmani Grandal and Brad Boxberger to get Latos from the San Diego Padres.
For the first month, I thought about it, Latos said. Holy crap, they gave up four guys for me. Ive got to come out and prove this, prove that. Looking back on it, if I do something that is great, if I throw a no-hitter, Ill forget about it and go to work the next day.
I try not to think about it as much as possible. I just worry about what I can control. I worry about my own business day in and day out.
Latos finally got to show what he can do. He made his Reds spring debut Tuesday. He went two scoreless innings. He allowed a couple of hits and walked a batter in the first. But he followed it with a 1-2-3 inning.
It was exciting to get in there and have live hitters up there swinging, Latos said.
The start came in Peoria against the Seattle Mariners, who share the stadium with the Padres.
The only thing that was weird about it is I didnt know where to find the visitors clubhouse, he said. I tried to park on the Padres lot. But they werent having it.
Latos, a 24-year-old right-hander, has enormous potential. He went 14-10 with a 2.92 ERA in 2010 and set a major league record by allowing two or fewer runs in 15 straight starts from June 10 to Sept. 9.
His numbers werent as good last year 9-14, 3.47 ERA but he still ranked ninth among National League pitchers in opponents batting average (.233) and ninth in strikeout ratio (8.57 per nine innings).
With the Reds offense, a similar ERA should translate to more wins. The Reds were second in the NL in runs scored last season; the Padres were second to last.
Latos didnt wow anyone early in camp.
Hes looked OK, like a lot of the other guys, not Opening Day-ready, but working his way in that direction, pitching coach Bryan Price said. The tools are obvious the arm strength, the breaking ball, the change-up, the athleticism.
Because of that potential, the Reds have Latos slated to pitch Game 2 April 7 against Florida.
Im thankful for the opportunity I was given, Latos said. Im just trying to make the best of it.

Dennis Jacob: Hall of Fame basketball coach's impact still felt in Martin County
Don Wallen's legendary run as Martin County High School's boys basketball coach began, interestingly enough, with a lot of failure.
Ten losses in 13 games to begin the 1966-67 season, to be exact.
Enough for the future Hall of Famer to wonder if trading the bluegrass mountains of Kentucky for the Atlantic seashore was the right move.
"He came home one night and said, 'Betty, I don't know if we can stay here'," his widow, Betty, recalled Wednesday.
Everything turned out just fine.
That first team rebounded to finish .500 and the consolidation of all-black Murray High School into Martin County a year later kick-started a dizzying rise to prominence.
Wallen spent 23 years on the Tigers' bench, retiring in 1989 after 541 wins, six Final Fours and three state championships — still the most by a single Treasure Coast program. He had 760 career wins, a Florida standard that stood for 24 years.
In 1987, Wallen became the first high school basketball coach inducted into the Florida Sports Hall of Fame.
On the 25th anniversary of his enshrinement, 23 years after he coached his final game, he's still the only one.
It's a shame he isn't around to enjoy his golden years.
Wallen, who would be 76 now, died of a heart attack in 1999 at age 63, only months after retiring as Stuart Middle School principal.
It was a loss for basketball and education, of course, but there was a lot more to Wallen than his emphasis on team play, the dozens of championships his teams won or the scores of awards he earned as a coach.
"Don was really always a very, very nice person," said Betty Wallen, now 75. "He was very unpretentious. If he did something for somebody, he didn't want them to know about it. In his own little way, he liked helping other people without the whole world knowing.
"He was just a kind soul, a good person all the way around."
Wallen also had a green thumb to go with his golden touch, spending many hours fine-tuning the landscape of the brick, four-bedroom home in Stuart that's been in the family since 1968 and where Betty still lives. The oak and palm trees he planted decades ago tower above the yard.
He was an avid golfer and loved playfully rolling around with the family's beloved dachshunds.
Most of all, he was a family man who cherished time spent with Betty, sons Chris and Mike and, later, his grandchildren.
His coaching was a hit, too.
"When we were first here, everyone went to the games on Fridays," Betty Wallen said "We just had a great time. I don't think he ever would have left Stuart."
The future couple grew up in Wheelwright, a tiny mining town in southeastern Kentucky. They were classmates at Wheelwright High.
Don, the son of a coal miner and a year older than Betty, played on the basketball team. Betty played snare drums in the band. Both worked at the city swimming pool.
Their on-again, off-again relationship got serious after college. They married in November 1962.
"I think it was always meant to be," Betty says, smiling.
By then, Wallen had made a name for himself as Wheelwright's coach, including a Final Four trip in 1961.
Not that Betty was surprised.
"I knew it was his love," she said.
Who knows how long they might have stayed had the loss of steel-related jobs not forced families to relocate.
After 219 wins in nine years, Wallen moved 860 miles south to inherit a Martin County program with only one district title in 41 previous seasons.
The makeover was marvelous. The Tigers reached their first Final Four in 1970, their first state final in 1971 and won back-to-back state titles in 1972 and 1973. They added a third state title in 1979 and a sixth Final Four in 1987.
Basketball was a family affair. Betty missed only a handful of Wallen's 696 games at Martin County.
Chris and Mike played for their dad in the 1980s and led the Tigers in free-throw accuracy three times apiece, a source of pride for a coach who preached the fundamentals. The former gym rats are now husbands, fathers and uncles, though Betty says they still lace up the shoes and hit the court for occasional pickup games.
The antiquated gym in which Wallen made history is now an auditorium. The 2,400-seat Don Wallen Athletic Complex was built in 1994. A Christmas tournament was named in his honor in December.At the Wallen home, den walls are covered with framed pictures of the coach and his assistants, plates of newspaper pages chronicling milestone wins and the state titles, and plaques of his many coaching awards.
Former players still call now and then to catch up with Betty or to just say hello.
"I think they really loved Don and the feeling was mutual," she said.
Betty, who attended one Martin County home game this season and still roots for the Tigers, worked 44 years as a nurse anesthetist at Martin Health System.
These days, she does volunteer work, plays cards with friends, swims twice a week at the Stuart YMCA and occasionally works in the yard. She became a grandmother for the fifth time on Tuesday.
The love of her life remains on her mind.
"All the time," she said, her eyes moistening.
"People say it gets easier, but I don't know. I don't think it will ever get easy."

This doctor gave me all the wrong information about my condition, and then sent me to a neurosurgeon. When the neurosurgeon heard what Dr Snook said to me, none of it was correct. He sends me back to Dr Snook, who takes back everything he told me. He also told me I had low blood pressure, and put me on medication for it. I don't have low blood pressure; with all my other doctors my blood pressure has never been low. He just didn't know how to help me, so he grasped at straws. Another doctor eventually helped me.

Dr. Snook is extremely intelligent and he has a fantastic personality. He gives you his full attention, and seems to have unlimited time for you. He is very charismatic and comes across as genuinely concerned about you and your well being. He does run late, but I suspect that is because of the amount of time he spends with his other patients.

I would highly recommend Dr. Snook. He makes me feel very comfortable and doesn't make me feel stupid at all. Time never seems to be an issue, taking as long as I need. Dr. Snook seems to be actively researching and brainstorming with collegues to find the answers to my problems. He is not afraid to say that he doesn't know something. On top of it all, he has a good sense of humor, which makes the drive from Fort Wayne worth it!

Von Neumann architecture
Von Neumann architecture or the von Neumann model is an early computer design description. It was written by mathematician and physicist John von Neumann and others in the First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC.[1]
It describes a design an electronic digital computer with subsections of a processing unit including an arithmetic logic unit, processor registers, a control unit that has the instruction register and program counter, memory to store both data and instructions, and input and output devices.
This means a stored-program computer where the "instruction fetch", the step getting the instruction from memory, and a data operation, the instruction actually happening, cannot be done at the same time because of they use the same bus. This limit is called the von Neumann bottleneck.
Early von Neumann computers[change | change source]
These are some examples of von Neumann model computers.
- Manchester Mark 1
- IAS machine
Evolution[change | change source]
Through the 1960's and 1970's computers became smaller and faster, leading to improvements in the design. The is sometimes called "streamlining" the design.
Von Neumann bottleneck[change | change source]
The common bus used by the program memory and data memory creates what is called the von Neumann bottleneck, which is the limit of the data transfer rate between the CPU and memory. Because the program and data cannot be accessed at the same time, the data transfer rate is smaller than the rate the CPU can work, limiting the effective processing speed of the CPU. It is made to wait for the data it needs to be moved to or from memory.

Cornplanter (John O'Bail, ca. 1735–1836) was a major Seneca leader during the late eighteenth century who figured prominently in the shifting alliances that accompanied the American Revolution. He became a personal friend of George Washington through the Tammany Society, a fraternal order that adopted some Native costumes and rituals and which observed the fusion of European and Native American cultures in America.
Cornplanter's father was a white trader, John O'Bail (sometimes Abeel). Some sources contend he was Irish; others say he was Dutch. All agree, however, that he was one of the biggest sellers of liquor to the Senecas. O'Bail had been heard to boast that his trade had a profit margin of 1,000 percent. While some Englishmen detested O'Bail, they relied on his intelligence about the French, gathered from Indians with whom he did business.
Cornplanter was raised by his Seneca mother; he knew his father only slightly, having met him a few times as a child. In 1780, Cornplanter led a raiding party in the Schoharie Valley that took a large number of prisoners, his father included. Cornplanter released his father, who still made his living by bartering guns, rum, and other goods for furs. Corn-planter invited O'Bail to join his Seneca family in his old age, but the elder O'Bail chose to return to his European-American family at Fort Plain, New York.
As an ally of the French in the French and Indian War (1754–1763), Cornplanter's warriors raided several British settlements. He may have been part of the French force that defeated British General Edward Braddock and his aide George Washington at Fort Duquesne (now Pittsburgh).
During the American Revolution, the Iroquois Grand Council could not reach consensus on alliance. Cornplanter generally favored neutrality. Joseph Brant spoke eloquently about the necessity of going to war in alliance with the British, stating that neutrality would lead to disaster and that the Americans or the British might turn on the Confederacy with a vengeance. Red Jacket and Cornplanter argued against Brant. They insisted that this quarrel was among the whites; interfering in something they did not fully understand was a mistake. As the meeting broke up in a furor, Brant called Cornplanter a coward. The people gathered at Irondequoit divided into two camps and discussed the issue of going to war. In general, the Senecas were disposed to neutrality. However, the words of Brant stung the ears of the Senecas, who could not bear to be called cowards. Finally, after lengthy discussion, the Senecas were swayed along with other wavering groups to take up the British cause.
After the Revolution, Cornplanter secured for his people a tract of land along the Allegheny River. He brought in Quaker teachers and helped sustain a prosperous agricultural community that included large herds of cattle. Cornplanter signed several treaties on behalf of the Senecas, including those concluded at Fort Stanwix in 1784 and others at various locations in 1789, 1797, and 1802. Through his many associations with Euro-Americans (including a trip to England), Cornplanter sometimes wore English clothing and displayed English mannerisms. On one occasion, fellow Senecas tore off Corn-planter's English clothes, greased his body, and dressed him in traditional attire.
In April 1786, the Tammany Society welcomed Cornplanter and five other Senecas to Philadelphia. In a remarkable ceremony, the Tammany sachems escorted the Senecas from their lodgings at the Indian Queen Tavern to Tammany's wigwam on the banks of the Schuylkill River for a conference. Within a few days, Cornplanter and the Senecas proceeded to New York City to address Congress.
In Philadelphia on May 1, 1786, St. Tammany's Day was marked with the usual celebrations and feasts, after which a portrait of Cornplanter was presented. More than a dozen toasts were given, including: "The Great Council Fire of the United States—May the 13 fires glow in one blended blaze and illumine the Eagle in his flight to the stars," "Our great grand sachem George Washington, Esq.," "Our Brother Iontonkque or the Corn Plant—May we ever remember that he visited our wigwam and spoke a good talk from our great-grandfathers," and "The Friendly Indian Nations—our warriors and young men who fought, bled and gave good council for our nation."
Later in his life, Cornplanter lost some of his prestige among the Senecas because of his easy agreement to land cessions. He retained enough influence, however, to bring the Senecas to the American side in the War of 1812. Shortly before he died in 1836, Cornplanter had a dream that indicated his friendship with all Euro-Americans had been mistaken. After the dream, he destroyed all the presents that had been given him by non-Indians.
Cornplanter's people occupied the 1,300-acre piece of land along the Allegheny River that had been given them by George Washington until the midtwentieth century, when the Army Corps of Engineers decided that the land better suited the public convenience under water. The scope of the Army's engineering projects had grown grandiosely since Washington himself helped survey the mountains that now comprise West Virginia, long before the pursuit of electricity became a legally valid reason for the state to seize land. In 1964, the bones of Corn-planter's people were moved from their land to make way for rising waters behind the Kinzua Dam. In the valleys at the Western Door, Senecas still ask sardonically if George Washington had ever asked Corn-planter if he knew how to swim.
