The Ryukyu Golden Kings boosted their championship hopes by signing Draelon Burns earlier this month, and the DePaul University product has made a seamless transition to the Western Conference powerhouse.
Coming off the bench, Burns scored 11 points and dished out eight assists on Saturday as Ryukyu cruised past host Hamamatsu Higashimikawa Phoenix 85-69.
The Golden Kings (11-2) are 3-0 since Burns, who played a major role in leading the Yokohama B-Corsairs to the bj-league title in May, joined the team and extended their winning streak to seven games. They have won nine of their last 10 games.
Anthony McHenry put his stamp on the game from the get-go and finished with 20 points, 13 rebounds, eight assists, three steals and two blocks. Ryuichi Kishimoto poured in 16 points and knocked down 3 of 4 3-point shots. Shigeyuki Kinjo added nine points and big men Jeff Newton and Kibwe Trim scored eight points apiece for coach Tsutomu Isa's club.
Ryukyu buried 9 of 14 3s in the win in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture.
Hamamatsu fell to 8-5.
Ray Nixon paced the Phoenix with 16 points, Cyrus Tate scored 13 and Deshawn Stephens had 10. Jermaine Dixon contributed eight points and 12 assists.
The Kings put the game out of reach in the fourth quarter with a 32-point output in the closing 10 minutes.
Northern Happinets 88, Albirex BB 76
In Joetsu, Niigata Prefecture, Richard Roby scored a game-high 27 points and Akita crashed the boards to rake in 27 offensive rebounds in a win over the hosts.
The Northern Happinets improved to a league-best 14-1. Ruben Bokyin, a Northern Arizona alum, scored 17 points and grabbed 14 rebounds (seven offensive). Yuki Togashi added 13 points and nine assists and Chas McFarland had 11 points, eight boards and two blocks. Yuto Otsuka pumped in nine points.
Roby had nine rebounds and four steals. Akita finished with just six turnovers.
For Niigata (10-5), Patrick Sullivan had team-high totals in points (25) and rebounds (11) and converted 12 of 17 shots from the field. Nile Murry added 20 points and Rodney Webb and Kimitake Sato each had 12.
Five Arrows 74, Evessa 69
In Takamatsu, a strong second quarter carried the hosts to their second victory in as many days over Osaka, which dropped its eighth straight game.
After the opening quarter, the score was tied 18-18. Then Five Arrows coach Kenzo Maeda's club outscored the Evessa 19-5 to take a 37-23 advantage into halftime.
Dexter Lyons, who had 35 points in an overtime triumph on Friday, led Takamatsu with 18 points in the rematch. Paul Williams had 16 points on 7-for-11 shooting and grabbed 14 rebounds. Masaaki Suzuki scored nine points and Tsubasa Yonezawa had eight for the Five Arrows (5-7), while Hiroyuki Kikuchi had a seven-point afternoon.
"Great wins," Lyons wrote on his Facebook page after the series finale. "These weekend games showed that with team defense and every player being aggressive on offense we can control our own destiny…"
The Evessa (6-8) held a 47-41 edge in rebounds, with Dillion Sneed, Zach Andrews and Kevin Galloway all grabbing eight boards.
Sneed scored a team-high 16 points, Yosuke Sugawara had 13 and Naoto Nakamura scored 12. Galloway shot 0-for-9 from the field in a four-point outing, and also dished out seven assists with seven turnovers.
Susanoo Magic 85, Bambitious 74
In Matsue, Shimane Prefecture, in a matchup of struggling teams, Jeral Davis scored 27 points and Edward Yamamoto had a season-best 20 on 7-for-10 shooting as the hosts beat Nara in the series opener.
Davis, who made 12 of 22 shots from the field, grabbed 12 rebounds and blocked three shots. Shawn Malloy added 12 points and 13 rebounds for Shimane (2-11). Tatsuhiro Yokoo poured in 10 points for coach Vlasios Vlaikidis' squad. Adrian Thomas had seven points and Koki Yabuuchi handed out five assists.
For the Bambitious (2-11), Adrian Moss finished with 25 points and 12 boards and Joe Chapman had 22 points. Anthony Brown contributed 12 points and 11 rebounds and Tatsuya Suzuki dished out five assists.
Shimane snapped a four-game losing streak and topped the 80-point plateau for only the third time this season.
Rizing 72, Crane Thunders 71
In Oizumi, Gunma Prefecture, Fukuoka's Reggie Warren and Julius Ashby both had double-doubles and guard Akitomo Takeno celebrated his 28th birthday with a victory.
Warren led the Rizing (6-7), playing their first game since Kimitoshi Sano was officially promoted to head coach, with 17 points and 15 rebounds and Ashby had 14 points, 12 boards and two blocks. Michael Dale had a 13-point performance and Cohey Aoki finished with eight points. Takeno added five points and four assists, which matched Dale's team-high total. Satoshi Ishitani chipped in with six points.
Kenya Tomori led Gunma (2-11) with 21 points and Marvell Waithe had 16 points and 12 rebounds.
"We gave this game to Fukuoka," Crane Thunders coach Ryan Blackwell told The Japan Times. "Give them credit for fighting until the end and making plays that they needed to. But we shouldn't lose when we are up 10 with less than 5 minutes to go.
"We are playing much better, though, overall but we need more of our players to step up and make plays during crucial times of the game."
Grouses 86, B-Corsairs 77

Yokohama missed 16 of 20 3-pointers.
Lakestars 68, Cinq Reves 65
In Yasu, Shiga Prefecture, Tokyo's fourth-quarter comeback fell short in a loss to the Lakestars.
Shiga held a 16-point cushion entering the final stanza before being outscored 22-9 the rest of the way.
Marshall Brown led the Lakestars (7-6) with 15 points along with 10 rebounds and three assists. Dionisio Gomez had 14 points, 10 boards and four steals and Brandon Fields scored nine points with five assists. Shelton Colwell added eight points and Yutaka Yokoe had seven for the hosts.
Ricky Woods supplied 20 points and 14 rebounds for Tokyo (4-9). Cinq Reves forward Edward Morris had 17 point and nine boards and Anthony Stover finished with 10 points, eight rebounds and three blocks. Yuji Ide scored eight points and chalked up eight assists.
HeatDevils 61, Hannaryz 57
In Oita, the HeatDevils overcame 1-for-14 shooting from beyond the 3-pont arc by converting 78.3 percent from the charity stripe and limiting their turnovers (eight) in a narrow win over Kyoto.
Oita sank 18 of 23 free throws; Kyoto made 12 of 23.

Former Tokyo Apache assistant coach Casey Hill picked up his first win as an NBA Development League head coach on Friday, guiding the Santa Cruz Warriors to a season-opening, 121-102 home win over the Austin Toros.
Santa Cruz's Seth Curry electrified the sell-out crowd with a game-best 36 points.
"He's a special player. … He does everything for us," Hill said of Curry, according to the Santa Cruz Sentinel. "He does a great job, so all we have to do is keep him on that high.
"If we can keep him on that high, we should be all right."

I'm referring to > paragraph 2 of the description. Read the last paragraph of that section: It is important to realize that a rule is really a query transformation mechanism, or query macro. The entire query is processed to convert it into a series of queries that include the rule actions. This occurs before evaluation of the query starts. So, conditional rules are handled by adding the rule condition to the WHERE clause of the action(s) derived from the rule. The above description of a rule as an operation that executes for each row is thus somewhat misleading. If you actually want an operation that fires independently for each physical row, you probably want to use a trigger not a rule. Rules are most useful for situations that call for transforming entire queries independently of the specific data being handled. Not that the description is obvious, but it's there. Perhaps you know of a better way (place) to state this? -- Rod Taylor

SARASOTA, Fla. - We're learning more about what caused the fight at the Cheetah Lounge that left one man dead this weekend.
The incident happened just after midnight Saturday night at the Cheetah Lounge strip club on North Washington Avenue.
According to a report from the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, the victim, 35-year-old Donald Canary of Zolfo Springs, and two of his friends confronted lounge employee Brad Stanford over what they felt were disrespectful comments Stanford made towards a waitress.
A physical altercation broke out between the patrons and employees, during which Stanford grabbed Canary in a choke hold. As Canary resisted the hold, another employee held his legs.
Stanford then reportedly told other employees, and the victim's wife and friends, that he would not release the hold until law enforcement arrived.
When deputies arrived, Stanford released the choke hold, but Canary had stopped breathing by that point. Attempts at CPR were unsuccessful and Canary was pronounced dead at the scene.
Stanford was arrested and charged with Manslaughter. He is being held on no bond at the Sarasota County Jail.

A criminal appeal is a formal request to rehear a case that has already been decided -- a request that a new court reconsider the decision of the first court. When one or both sides of a case that has already been decided think there was a mistake made at trial, they can file an appeal. An appeal is entirely different than a jury trial. There is no testimony taken. The court of appeals decides the case entirely upon the written briefs filed by your attorney and the offie of the Attorney General who represents the prosecution and asks that the conviction be upheld.

Mike Stewart was having one of those days where everything went wrong.
"I started thinking, 'I think there are a lot of people out there in our industry who could relate or experience the same things we do day in and day out – the good times, the bad times," says Stewart, president of Stewcare in Delaware, Ohio.
So in summer 2010, Stewart decided to start filming the everyday stuff with his cousin, a computer programming major in college who was helping Stewcare launch its new website. Stewart created a YouTube channel called Mowing Pains, and he started with a basic introduction to the company: an interview with his father and a tour of the shop.
Then Stewart started carrying his camera along on job sites to document the crews at work. The result is a series of YouTube videos that share a true day-in-a-life experience with fellow landscapers and customers who are interested in knowing more about what goes on behind the scenes at Stewcare.
"Our target audience is other industry professionals and the average homeowner who, on the weekend, loves to get out in the yard," Stewart says. "I feel we can offer something of value to them because of our experience."
So far, the feedback on Stewcare's YouTube channel has been positive. "I got a comment from a 13-year-old who said he loves our videos and our company is inspiring him to go out and do this work," Stewart says.
Also, the exposure Stewcare gains from posting videos online is helpful for driving traffic to the company's website. YouTube is one more tool for getting the word out about the services the company offers.
"We can tell potential customers if they want to see what we can do, go to our YouTube channel or our Facebook page," Stewart says. "The social media outlet (including YouTube) has been a huge company builder for us."
This is one of three stories that appeared in Lawn & Landscape's A Cut Above e-newsletter. To continue reading about stewcare:

Tori Spelling's most recent pregnancy announcement came just five short months after the birth of her third child, Hattie (in October) and no one was more shocked by the news than Tori's mom, Candy.
"[Tori] scared me to death. She said, 'Oh my God – I have to tell you mom, I'm having – what do you call them — Irish twins,'" Candy told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Thursday's Access Hollywood Live. "I said, 'You're having twins?' And she said, 'No, no, no. That's what it's called when you have a second baby within twelve months!'"
Though the pregnancy was very unexpected and will bring Tori and husband Dean McDermott's tot tally to four, Candy said Tori isn't sure the soon-to-arrive baby will be her last.
"She didn't say she's finished," Candy explained. "This was just a surprise. She kept saying, 'I'm nursing – I can't get pregnant!'"
Beyond her growing grandmother duties, Candy has become a force to be reckoned with on The Great White Way, producing numerous Broadway plays including her latest gig, "Nice Work If You Can Get It" – which was nominated for multiple Tony Awards this week.
"I'm very hands-on. As a producer you can be as involved or as uninvolved as you want," Candy said, adding that she tries to be as active in the production of her shows as possible. "I don't live in New York, but I really go back there a lot."

The Fisher Price Little People Disney Princess Songs Palace is an awesome concept as it combines two of the things that in my experience little girls really like. A lot. Disney Princess and Little People toys. I wasn't wrong, from the minute Fifi (3 ) and her little two year old friends saw the castle they were jumping for joy.
Unfortunately it proved to be one of the hardest toys I have ever had the misfortune to construct. In fact, its still not completely rigid and I have a spare screw which I couldn't get to stay screwed in. The instructions didn't help in that they jumped all over the place rather than going in numerical order. With two children hanging off my elbow to play with it I could have screamed. Not in joy.
However, construction aside, the Little People Disney Princess Songs Palace has proved itself to be the most popular item of Little People toys we own, and we own a lot (even the garage). Its got loads of functionality and is brilliant for role playing, I'd say it was better than a dolls house for this age. The downside is that it is rather big so does take up a bit of space.
You get Cinderella and Snow White with the castle but its possible to buy loads of the other princesses in Little People style so I think that makes it quite a good Christmas present as you can have a main present and then other people can buy additional bits to go with it.
I can genuinely say we love the Little People range in our house, we have tons of it and its one of the most used toys, not least because I think its so safe for babies as there are no tiny parts, so I always have it out ready to play. You can't really go wrong and I think this is one of the 'must have' toys for any little Disney Princess obsessed girls. Just construct it before they see it!
Disclaimer: We were kindly sent a Fisher Price Little People Disney Princess Castle for this review

Optimize for Local Search on Mobile
Mobile is predicted to overtake PCs for local search by 2015. More people are relying on smartphones and tablets for purchasing decisions. How can you be sure your business appears in their local search results? Here are three essential components of local mobile optimization:
1) Local SEO best practices
Users won't sift through pages of search results on mobile devices, so you need to be on page one. SEO campaigns highlight your specific location to help boost your business in the top results for geographic searches.
Consider optimizing your website with location-specific keywords. Also complete your Google+ Local and Bing Local listings, as both Google and Bing place local listings at the top of their local search results.
2) Mobile-friendly website
Mobile users are on the go and looking at smaller screens. Make sure the mobile version of your website clearly communicates important information – phone number, location, office hours – to prevent customers from moving on to the next search result. Make your text large enough to read on mobile devices and your font simple enough to read on a small screen.
3) Social media integration
- Yelp!: Encourage customers to leave positive reviews. Check your business's profile regularly so that negative reviews can be remedied and won't appear first when new customers search for you.
- Foursquare: Recent updates to Foursquare let users find businesses in their current location and see what customers have to say. Be on the lookout for any negative reviews and consider offering "check-in" specials to engage customers and encourage referrals.
- Facebook Nearby: With the introduction of Graph Search, users can look to the social network's "nearby" feature for local ratings, reviews and recommendations from their networks. Now more than ever, make sure your business's page is complete with address, phone number, hours and other key details.
The trend toward mobile local search isn't going to reverse anytime soon, so act now to avoid getting left behind. If you need a more engaging Facebook page, Vocus Facebook apps can help: click here to find out more.
Need more publicity for your business? Unlock the secret to media coverage and massive buzz with Todd Defren, CEO of Shift Communications at our Earn Success! webinar on May 8th. Register here!
Want success? Demand Success, the 2013 Vocus Conference, will help you integrate publicity, search, social and email campaigns for maximum demand generation and business success. Register now.

On Wednesday, House Republicans suffered an embarrassing 230-195 defeat, as 48 Republicans voted against the bill, angry that it would permit spending at the same rate approved in last month's debt deal between Speaker of the House John Boehner (left) and President Obama.
Fox News notes that the bill's defeat on Wednesday is indicative of the "tenuous grip that Boehner has on the chamber."
The bill that passed in the House on Friday looks virtually identical to the one that failed on Wednesday, as it still includes $3.7 billion in disaster aid, and now funds the federal government past next Friday. Republicans managed to convince the tea party conservatives that the only other alternative would be to give Democrats a better deal by adding more money for disaster relief, or cutting less of the $1.5 billion proposed in spending cuts.
GOP leadership in the House changed the bill only slightly in order to persuade disenchanted Tea Party Republicans to change their vote, rather than reaching out to Democrats during the revision process. House leaders added $100 million in savings from a program that financed a federal loan to the solar panel maker Solyndra, Inc. Fox News reports that the $100 million came from a loan guarantee program for renewable energy projects under the 2009 stimulus: "Congress set aside $2.4 billion in case some of the loans went bad, such as a $500 million-plus loan to now-bankrupt Solyndra Inc., a California-based solar panel maker effusively praised by Obama."
GOP leaders in the House viewed Friday's vote as a victory, but admitted they had to make concessions.
"What we voted on yesterday was the best deal Republicans could get and it can only go downhill from here," said Republican Representative Peter King from New York. "So we should try to re-vote again on the same bill we had yesterday, vote on it again, pass it this time, or if not we'll have to make concessions that would help the Democrats."
However, the narrow victory was short-lived, as the Senate voted down the measure. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid indicated that the bill would not make it through the Senate, even before it was passed in the House. Fox News reports:
Even before the House vote, however, the leader of the Senate promised that majority Democrats will scuttle the measure as soon as it reaches the chamber on Friday. Democrats there want a much larger infusion of disaster aid and they're angry over cuts totaling $1.6 trillion from clean energy programs -— and the strong-arm tactics being tried by the House.
According to Reid, the House-passed bill "is not an honest effort at compromise." Therefore, he vowed "It will be rejected by the Senate." And rejected it was.
It was the hope of the GOP that Senate Democrats would be forced into accepting the cuts to their favored programs. That did not happen.
"We're fed up with this," said Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, Democratic Whip. "They know what it takes for us to extend (stopgap funding) and keep the government in business. And this brinksmanship…we're sick of it."
He went on, "The Senate is ready to stay in Washington next week to do the work the American people expect us to do. And I hope the House Republican leadership will do the same."
With the Senate rejecting the bill, the Federal Emergency Management Agency may be out of funds as early as next week.
Recognizing this impending reality, Boehner's spokesman, Michael Steel, attempted to convince the Senate to forge ahead. "The Senate should pass this bill immediately, and the president should sign it, because any political games will delay FEMA money that suffering American families desperately need."
FEMA's funds sit at approximately $212 million, but the House passed bill would add $3.7 billion to it. The Senate proposed a separate measure that would provide $6.9 billion to FEMA's disaster relief fund.
Meanwhile, the House stopgap spending bill would have kept the federal government running through November 18. The legislation includes a 1.5 percent cut on domestic and defense agencies in order to meet the target of $1.043 trillion for 2012.
The failure of the House bill to pass the Senate is the start of the next showdown between House Republicans and Senate Democrats. Prior to the bill's failure in the Senate, House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy declared that the bill is a "great opportunity to move forward," but Democratic Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts said the GOP was "kneecapping" alternative energy initiatives and Rep. John Dingell accused Republicans of "busily burning our seed corn."
Dingell went on, "The end result of this is we're going to see advanced technology programs going to China instead of being made here."
Senator Reid did attempt a compromise, however. Yahoo News reports:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., offered a compromise Friday that would accept the House's lower level of disaster spending but lacked the loan program cuts. Republicans refused to let the chamber approve it, but the Senate will consider it Monday, when Republicans seem likely to prevent Democrats from getting the 60 votes they would need to prevail.
Last week, the Senate passed a spending bill that would provide $6.9 billion in disaster aid, without a single cut to pay for it. The bill had the support of 10 Republican Senators.
Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell contends that the American people do not want to see any more money added to the deficit, even if it is for the touted purpose of "emergency spending."
"If there's any lesson we can draw from the debates we've been having here over the last six months, it's that the American people won't accept that excuse anymore," McConnell said. "The whole, 'that's the way we've always done it' argument is the reason we've got a $14 trillion dollar debt right now."
Likewise, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers said, "The American people are sick and tired of political games. Shutting down the government and cutting off essential programs that our people rely on is bad enough, but leaving disaster-stricken families and communities in the lurch in their hour of greatest need is simply reprehensible."
What this means for government funding is unknown. The House and Senate had planned to take next week off, but that seems unlikely at this point.

The United States and Climate Change: from Process to Action
Chapter from America and a Changed World: A Question of Leadership
This chapter, from the book America and a Changed World: A Question of Leadership, assesses America's engagement with the world on climate change.
The chapter looks at the record to date of US engagement with international efforts to control global warming and considers recent changes in the domestic political landscape. The chapter goes on to focus on the need for a fresh look at US-China relations in the context of global energy and climate security.
The chapter concludes with a summary of key recommendations for the new administration towards a new strategy of engagement with the world on climate change.

U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has decided to lift a ban on women serving in combat, a senior defense official said Wednesday.
Panetta and General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, "are expected to announce the lifting of the direct combat exclusion rule for women in the military," the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told reporters.
"This policy change will initiate a process whereby the services will develop plans to implement this decision, which was made by the Secretary of Defense upon the recommendation of the Joint Chiefs of Staff," the official said in an email.
In February last year, Panetta opened up about 14,000 combat-related jobs to female troops for the first time in an incremental move.
PHOTOS: D-Day Anniversary
Calls to lift the blanket prohibition have mounted after a decade of war in which women fought and died in counter-insurgency campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan with no clear front lines.
Some senior officers have privately voiced concerns that infantry and special forces units require major upper body strength and that difficult physical tests should not be relaxed for female recruits.
But some female veterans and activists say they are only demanding an equal chance to apply for combat jobs -- and not any special treatment.
US commanders began taking a second look at the ban in 2010 to reflect the reality on the battlefield, as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had thrust women into combat in any case.
The Air Force and Navy have already lifted most prohibitions on women in combat.

Sydney, June 23 (ANI): Russian tennis ace Maria Sharapova has reportedly slammed on-court rival Serena Williams for dating a married men with children, in response to critical comments directed by Williams to an unnamed player, supposedly Sharapova, in a recent Rolling Stone article.
Williams has been linked to her married coach Patrick Mouratoglou, although neither has confirmed that their relationship extends beyond the court, the New York Post reports.
Criticising Williams for having an alleged relationship with a married man with children, Sharapova said that although she has a great respect for Williams for her on-court accomplishments, she felt that the American should be taking more about them instead of making comments to attract controversy and attention.
The World No. 3 further said that if Williams wanted to talk about something personal, then she should clarify her relationship with her married boyfriend, hinting that the man may be getting divorced because of his relationship with the World No.1.
According to the Rolling Stone article, the 16-time Grand Slam winner had spoken disparagingly about what has been described as a 'top-five player who is now in love', saying that the unnamed player is boring and begins every interview with "I'm so happy. I'm so lucky'.
Williams had further stated that the player will never be invited to the 'cool' parties, adding that she wished her luck for dating the 'guy with a black heart', with the report adding that Williams' comments were followed by words, hinting that she may have been talking about Sharapova, who is now dating Grigor Dimitrov, one of her rumored former boyfriends.
Meanwhile, Sharapova has also slammed Williams for her controversial comments about a teenage US rape victim, saying that she was saddened by the entire case.
Although the Russian beat Williams in the 2004 Wimbledon final, but Williams has won their past 13 matches in a row, including in the French Open final two weeks ago, the report added. (ANI)

|If you have a 60M rope and do a short, (about 60 Ft) first pitch, you end up with comfortable belays with good anchors at the end of each pitch. Go up and a little left after the summit overhang (where El Wampo, etc. join) for a better finish.

|This route was excellent. Very sustained climbing, i would not hesitate to say its sandbagged at 5.6. The topo has a 5.7 section drawn on it in the latest book, which i guess you can skirt to the left. Not sure what you are supposed to do near the top, we followed the corner straight up, which was good, but didnt seem very traveled. We tried this idea of a 60' P1, belayed atop the dihedral wall just before the climbing gets really interesting. THis allowed tree belays for the rest of the route, although they were still not spacious. I was so surprised by wht this route offered, probably the best 5.6 Ive done at Tahquitz (i am pretty new here, so maybe there are better ones) - and while not as stunning as El Whampo, I found it better and more challenging overall due to the sustained quality moves. I thought a #3 camalot was nice to have along. My experience may have been heightened due to the dense blanket of pine needles that cover the crack in many places!! Exciting!

|I enjoyed this quite a bit, more than el Whampo in fact, and was surprised by the variety and challenge present on this 5.6. I will second the Gray Tradster's recco for a very short 1st pitch -- I had pretty comfortable belays on pitches 2, 4, and 6 using a 60m rope.

Quality route, sustained, and sandbagged at 5.6. I'm surprised this route doesn't get more stars in the guidebook, as I think it is as good as any 5.7 at Tahquitz.
There really aren't any belay ledges big enough to stand on comfortably, so be prepared to hang in your harness a bit. We had trouble route-finding after the 4th pitch or so, at the headwall, and had a bit of an adventure figuring the way up. The Vogel/Gaines book isn't really clear which way to go and we found ourselves on some loose/dirty stuff that was certainly off route (we also found more than one piece of "bail" gear, so we weren't the first to go this way.) Eventually we managed to get to the easier terrain near the end of Northeast Farce, but never did figure out where the route actually went.

|I've done this route a couple of times, once with a two man team and once with three people. We found all the belay spots to be quite spacious, enough for three people to hangout comfortably. We typically ventured 15-20 to the right of the diehedral to set-up belays but they were always great. I think 3 of them were near/under trees using the crack system.

|Really enjoyed this climb - worth doing, but know it's not a 5.6. Definitely sandbagged. The quality of the route though is great - pitch 3 was my favorite. I agree that there are good tree belays if you keep the first pitch short. Small gear (sometimes not very well protected), but I could have used a 3 up there. Finished in 6 pitches. The 5th pitch was interesting and we realized at that point that the route had become harder than 5.6. We had climbed Sahara Terror the day before and this was the harder climb for sure. Sustained but fun if you know what you're getting yourself into.

|We were supposed to go to Joshua tree yesterday but due to the govt shutdown, we headed to tahquitz instead. I'd like to be the first one to thank the govt because if they had been working, we never would have gotten on this route. Great route, very underrated, not sure why this doesn't get any stars in the guidebook. As a complete cIimb I enjoyed it more than the west lark and el whampo. We got a bit off route beginning on pitch 5, but it only made things more interesting and fun. Climbed in the shade all day, didn't see one person on the rock, fantastic day.

If you're asking yourself, "should we climb this route?" here's a few things to consider.
You should not.
Vogel's ratings are gospel, and he doesn't give it any stars because it's just not very good. Also, it's a total sandbag. The second pitch alone is 200 feet of sustained 5.7 climbing with infrequent rests. If this was FA'd today, it'd be an .8. There. I said it. I'm not proud. Chuck and Ellen Wilts put this up in like, 1950, wearing galoshes and lederhosen. It was 5.6 back then, when men were men and the women were badasses. That was then. You are neither a man, nor a badass, so expect 5.8.
So you've read the comments above, and you're thinking you might want to climb this route. Here's the real lowdown:
P1: As suggested, climb about 60 feet up to a spot where you get a nice belay seat on top of the beginning of the big corner. You'll know where to stop because the right face of the corner steepens and becomes pretty much blank, and you'll see that there's nowhere to belay above that spot. Now, maybe you placed some gear on this pitch "just in case," but if you actually felt you needed it, just rap down from here, cause you're gonna be petrified on the rest of the route. This pitch is short, boring, and tedious.
P2: Climb the corner for a full 60m, following a fixed pin on the face out to the right near the top of the pitch that will lead you along some face climbing to a big belay ledge at a large mossy tree. Now, some people will tell you that this is stellar climbing on fantastic rock. Sustained 5.7 liebacking with copious small cam placements, infrequent rests, and "just enough holds" right when you need them to keep it spicy at the grade. They may tell you that the exposure is exhilarating, and that aside from the last ten feet below the ledge, the climbing is awesome from the first move to the last. All lies. If they tell you that the rock is that nice clean Tahquitz granite that's grippy without being grainy and that the cracks flare except where you really need them to be parallel, call bullshit. It's not true. Bring you liebacking A-game if you're foolish enough to find yourself leading this lackluster pitch.
P3: Looking up from the belay, all you can really see is that you either need to climb through a bunch of bushes into a chossy-looking roof, or cut out left under a teetering death-flake. Pick your poison. If someone tells you that as soon as you get above the roof, you enter a spectacular, sustained 5.6/.7 corner on an expanse of that glassy-smooth whitish granite that's just so nice, and that you'll jam, stem, and smear this corner, using a beautiful splitter crack in it's base that eats gear from fingers to wide hands, all the way up to a little shrubby belay, don't believe it. Expect to find bail gear at the shrub, as we did, from parties who were either petrified at the steepening vision of doom above, or had just tired of plodding their way up this mediocre route.
P4: Head to the obvious gully up and right. Climb an awkward short steep section to increasingly poor climbing above. If you heard that this pitch was yet another pitch of quality, sustained 5.7 climbing with lots of variety, crack and face, that the routefinding is straightforward and the moves thoughtful, delightful, and well-protected, tell them for me that they're a liar. Near the end of this pitch, you'll find yourself at the base of an improbably steep, nay, overhanging wall of broken rock. Belay here.
P5: If you've been unfortunate enough to get this far up without finding some way to get onto a neighboring route, well, you have my sympathy. I heard that this pitch is challenging and fun, climbing steep broken rock pretty much straight up and then a little right into a gully that becomes a third-class scramble up and left to the descent gully. Turns out the third class part was true, but that part is littered with loose rocks and gravel that you'll inevitably rain down on your belayer, or that parties above will trundle down on you while you climb below. Yet ANOTHER reason to leave this route to the chumps.
Lastly, if people tell you that this route is overall uncharacteristically clean, steep, sustained, varied, and fun for this face, with solid well-protected 5.7 climbing, they are only trying to sucker you into climbing this route, so you won't be ahead of them on the nearby Larks, which are much better climbs.
There's only one reason I can think of to climb this route; the profusion of old, rusty, beat-up fixed pins sprouting from it. They're everywhere. If you love to clip 'em, this one's a must.
That is all.

After the fourth belay at the mossy tree go left to meet up with Northeast Face East route. An easy traverse across fourth class slab. Then go over a small ceiling then up and right. It's in the guide book everyone the two routes meet up. Don't go right. Easy climbing on the fifth pitch I only used 2 peices of gear.
It sounds like Chris D. Got off route and had a bad day. This was a fun route and yes it's a 5.7 back in the 50's and sixties the ratings were different.

|Good route. I liked Chris D's writeup and that helped convince me to do this route, as well as seeing that beautiful corner on the first pitch. Most of the belay stances were decent. A couple of semi-hanging belays, but that was about it.

The latest worm to infect IM (instant-messaging) networks is aptly named Heartworm.
The worm, actually called W32.heartworm.a, affects users of Microsoft's Windows Live Messenger service (formerly MSN Messenger), presenting users with a link to a website that tells them a virtual greeting card is waiting for them, according to FaceTime Security. That link brings unsuspecting users to an image of a heart with a poem written in Portuguese, which secretly installs files on the user's PC that record personal and financial information.
According to FaceTime researchers, who wrote about Heartworm in a 22 September blog posting, the heart-shaped message appears to be hosted on a site dedicated to exposing online hoaxes, perhaps in an attempt to encourage visitors to click through.
Heartworm follows quickly on the heels of another worm called Pipeline, which secretly delivers an executable file disguised as a Jpeg that then installs rootkits and Trojans on systems running AIM (AOL Instant Messenger).
These and other IM worms that have emerged of late show that spammers and malware writers are looking beyond email for ways to get their messages across and spread their exploits. According to the Radicati Group, there are currently 995 million IM accounts in use worldwide, and that number is expected to grow to more than 1.6 billion by 2010.

"Masters of the kill"
Film Synopsis:
Explore one of nature's most beautiful and mysterious creatures. From the desert horned viper to the tiny thread snake, these reptiles have never been showcased in such detail for their vibrant colors and sleek movements. Visit a number of unusual species throughout the globe as this special brings these exotic snakes to light. Despite their fearsome reputation, these fascinating specimens will prove that they are more than deadly, dangerous predators. The Beauty Of Snakes will take you into the wild to celebrate the most intriguing snakes around the world.
My Take:
The Beauty of snakes is an interesting documentary on these fascinating and largely misunderstood reptiles. I recall seeing this when it aired on DiscoveryHD Theater on cable TV. I remember stumbling upon it while surfing channels and then not being unable to turn it off. It gives a general overview of their mating, birthing, anatomy, and physiology although there are some variances among the differing species. There are approximately 3,000 species that live in nearly every corner of the world. They come in a variety of colors, genus types, and can be as small as 6 inches or as large as 30 feet. No matter their size or classification all snakes are masters of the kill. Though largely feared by humans snakes will almost always avoid human contact but some can be extremely dangerous if provoked (or not provoked!). One such example is the African Black Mamba. Nicknamed the Shadow of death by locals the Black Mamba is short tempered, extremely fast, and a highly venomous snake. Its venom can be fatal within 20 minutes of a bite. It is also capable of short bursts of speed that can average up to 12 mph. If you take nothing away from this documentary remember to avoid these particularly nasty snakes that have been known to get pissed off and pursue those who have come across their paths. This is a wonderfully shot feature that provides incredible footage of mating rituals (the garter snake was pretty interesting), birthing, feeding, shedding skin, camera mounted viewpoint (from a snakes point of view) and more. These amazing animals are descended from early reptiles. They live in trees, on land or in the water and have adapted to existing in a multitude of environments. While we tend to look at them in a negative light, snakes are extremely important in keeping the rodent population under control. If you like documentary's and appreciate photographic excellence this is well worth checking out.

The beauty of snakes comes to Blu-ray Disc from Genius Products featuring 1080i AVC encoded video that has an average bitrate of 20 mbps and lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 channel audio that has a constant bitrate of 448 kbps.
This high definition video presentation looked good on HD cable but looks stunning on Blu-ray Disc. Colors are bold, deep and delineated. The plethora of bright hues, lush greens and earth tones look succulent. Textures are deep and detail is vivid as the various landscapes, small animals and environments captured by the camera have superb depth and lucid resolution. Blacks are deep and contrast is strong which gives images plenty of dynamic pop. There was some intermittent digital noise that was primarily visible against light backgrounds but it wasn't detrimental. The 5.1 channel Dolby sound quality was open, clear, and easily conveyed the dialogue rich elements of this documentary. The presentation remained front focused with Barnaby Taylor's music and Aoife McMahon's narration taking center stage. Dialogue was firmly entrenched in the center channel with the music flanking it through the mains with mild atmospheric ambience spread to the surrounds. This isn't a particularly engaging surround mix but I never felt it was lacking in any way.
Bonus Features:
There are no bonus features.
Final Thoughts:
The beauty of snakes is a documentary that offers an intriguing and visually arresting look at one of the most diverse, potentially dangerous and oldest species of reptile on the planet. This Blu-ray Disc presentation beautifully captures the essence of the high definition recording and looks incredible. If you are looking for a great way to show off your high definition display this documentary makes for a great conversation piece. Enjoy.

It certainly sounds like a great disc for showing off picture quality.
Besides, I have a friend coming to visit and this disc should scare the hell out of him!
Seriously though, might have to check this out.
About 15 years ago, there police all over the San Francisco Bay Area were searching for a Black Mamba, that was supposedly imported into the country and was reported lost by the owner. I remember being on a golf course and looking up into every tree before walking under them, because these snakes were known to attack from above!!! Happily, it turned out to be a prank, but it showed how much I loved golf...I would risk my life to squeeze in a round!
Great review Ralph...this one is going into the Netflix queue...although i don't like their damn price increase!!!!!

text: who has caught your attention so far? surprised or dissapointed? of course I'll start things off with Levi Brown. he's started everydown so far & showed improvement already from week one. in the Cardinals win Leinart was not sacked & Edgerrin rushed for over 5 yards a carry, 128 yards. how about Adrian Peterson? Averaging 84.5 yds rushing & 22.4 yds receiving thats a healthy 106.9 per game. don't forget defense & Patrick Willis of the 49ers. 14 solo, 5 assisted & one fumble. compared to last years droy DeMeco Ryans 15 solo, 1 assisted & one fumble. pretty much draft board favorites from last year all proving worthy of the lofty expectations assigned them ps. did not include Amobi because we cover him on the Texans thread, but I must say he has been very impressive so far & is coming along nicely too

Who doesn't love a batch of their favorite flavor of ice cream? In honor of Ice Cream Day, we wanted to find an easy way for you to make your own! Remember Melanie's post about ice cream making in May? http://bit.ly/LHUqyA Well, I've found a couple methods that don't require a big fancy machine (if you don't have one), and you can do it in your apartment while saving a lot of money!
What you'll need:
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (if you want it to be extra sweet,use 2 teaspoon)
- Alternate flavor: if you want chocolate ice cream, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
- 4-6 tablespoons of salt
- 2 trays of ice
With a Freezer Bag:Take roughly two quarts of ice, preferably crushed, and put it in a gallon-sized bag with the rock salt. The gallon bag should be about half full of the ice and salt mixture.
Put the ice cream ingredients into a quart bag and seal it tightly. (You may have to double bag.) Then place the sealed ice cream bag into the gallon bag. Make sure the bags stay sealed. You do not want the contents of the bags to mix at all.. Seal with extra duct tape if necessary.
Gently shake the bags for about fifteen to twenty minutes. The content of the quart bag should start to turn into solid ice cream. Youwant to make sure you're mixing what's in the quart bag but not so vigorously you cause a leak. Double-bagging should prevent this.
Remove the finished ice cream from the sandwich bag and serve, yum!
With a Coffee Can:
This is very similar to the bag method, except instead of using two bags, you use two coffee cans, one bigger than the other.
Put the ice cream mixture in the smaller coffee can. Seal tightly.
Put the smaller coffee can in the big coffee can along with ice and rock salt. Seal the large can tightly.
Shake the large can vigorously for about 10 minutes. Make sure the cans are sealed well and do it outside, just in case. Check the small to see if the mixture has turned into ice cream yet. If you see ice crystals forming, stir or whisk.
Continue shaking, rolling, or throwing until ice cream is formed.

These photos reveal the artist's true spirit animal, from Salvador Dalí's ocelot to Georgia O'Keeffe's Siamese.
Since the ancient Egyptians dedicated a religious sect to the cat goddess Bastet and made elaborate temples in her honor, artists around the world have paid worshipful homage to the feline form. Artists and Their Cats, just out from Chronicle Books, compiles photographs of the 21st century's greatest creative minds and their feline muses. The photos shine a spotlight on more than 50 of these deep artist-cat bonds, including shots of the dozens of cats living in Chinese artist Ai Weiwei's studio; muppet master Jim Henson's Siamese kitty George Washington; and Salvador Dalí's pet ocelot, Babou.

It's official: Samsung Galaxy S III to be released by 5 US carriers this month
After weeks upon weeks of speculation, today we have the official confirmation, straight from Samsung: not only is the Galaxy S III going to be launched by no less than five US carriers, but those launches are all going to happen later this month.
Aside from the 'big four' (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint), US Cellular will be releasing Samsung's newest flagship Android smartphone, just like we heard it would.
Samsung is letting each carrier announce its respective release date on its own, so we'll have to wait for some more press releases in order to get all those details. Yet we already know when Sprint will be unveiling its version of the popular smartphone: on June 12. The carrier has put out an invite for the event already, spotted by AndroidSPIN.
As for pricing, Samsung only mentions it will start at $199. So at least one carrier will offer the Galaxy S III at that price (probably after a mail-in rebate though) with a new two-year contract.
Interestingly, unlike what they did with their Galaxy S variants, it seems that carriers won't customize the Galaxy S III's hardware. Or at least not beyond adding their logos to it. Samsung is pretty proud to say that it will deliver "the same iconic smartphone design and premium content sharing experience with customized AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and U.S. Cellular services". Of course, this wording is vague enough that it could turn out to mean anything, but we're hoping we'll see more similar hardware from the different carriers than in past years.

I don't really drink wine, but there's this one kind of Riesling I really like. Laugh if you must, but I bought it because the bottle was pretty -- it was frosted glass, and if you looked through the bottle, a Christmas scene (house with snow, decorated fir trees) was visible from the back of the bottle.
I have no idea what country it was from, but I'm guessing USA because it was pretty cheap -- about $15 a bottle or so. And there's no way I can look up a wine by what the bottle looks like (Google Images was no help). I haven't seen it recently in any of the places where I usually see wine, and I'm wondering if it's only seasonal, hence the Christmasy look.
If things rings a bell with anyone, I'd greatly appreciate it. :-)

Parker Applauds Judge For Denying Leniency In Louima Torture Case
State Senator Kevin S. Parker (D-Brooklyn) today commended Judge Reena Raggi for her decision to deny leniency to former police officer Charles Schwarz, accused of participating in a brutal attack on suspect Abner Louima and convicted of perjury.
A federal jury could not reach a verdict as to whether Schwarz took part in the assault by restraining Louima as he was brutalized and tortured by officer Justin Volpe. However, Schwarz was convicted of perjury, committed in an attempt to cover up the attack. Volpe is serving a 30-year sentence, and Schwarz recently requested a reduction of his 5-year sentence, which was denied by Judge Reena Raggi.
"Judge Raggi's decision sends a clear message—we still have a policy of zero tolerance for police brutality," said Senator Parker. "Charles Schwarz violated the law, the civil rights of Abner Louima, and the public trust placed in the esteemed men and women who serve and protect our city. Judge Raggi absolutely made the right decision in reaffirming the justice system's response to this very serious and cruel attack."
Senator Parker had sent a letter to the Judge recommending denial of the leniency request, and urged her to maintain her "tough stance" on the case.

Sound — 9
Well, the first time I popped this CD in, I had no idea what I was in for. It's the first time I've ever heard electronica and metalcore ever fused together. This whole CD was written and recorded by two guys in someones room, but the production quality is so good you would think that they were a full band in a real studio. So for a first CD, this is pretty impressive. Back to the actual sound. Sky Eats Airplane has a pretty unique sound, they can be heavy and aggressive, and at other times they are lighthearted and fun. Each track has its own special sound. You could listen to Patterns and then She is just a Glitch and not even think they were the same band. But really, the most interesting point is that they blend electronica (or techno, I don't really know the difference) into their music. In the first song Patterns the beginning sounds like an intro to some kind of scifi movie, the screams kick in, and then just as you get used to it, everything switches to something you might have heard on Sonic the Hedgehog. This record has a little bit of videogame influence, you can hear it on Giants in the Ocean. It's actually really fun to listen to. I don't think I've ever enjoyed listening to keyboards this much (other than in some symphonic/power metal bands). But not everything is all heavy. My favorite track on the disc is She is just a Glitch. it's a soft acoustic track. The singer still screams a bit in this, so it's kind of awkward at points, but for the most parts this song has clean vocals. Points for innovation to these guys. Their style is all over the place.
Lyrics — 7
Most of the time the lyrics are unintelligible due to the screams, but that's what happens in most core based music. But when the lyrics can be understood, they're not too bad. The singer has an alright scream, and his clean vocals are pretty good too. Sometimes however, the vocals seem a little too forced, like he's trying too hard. Sometimes he even sounds like he's whining. These guys make the vocals work though. Even when the music is changing styles underneath and the vocal style stays the same, it works. It all fits together pretty well.
Overall Impression — 8
I don't think there's any other artist in this genre to compare them to. Forgive me if I'm wrong though. I'm new to the whole hardcore/electronica fusion. There's not much to complain about on this album. There's a lot of variety in the sound, and there's something for everybody here. To get a good feel of this band, listen to these songs: Patterns, Honest Hitchhikers, Giants In The Ocean, and She Is Just A Glitch. While some of these tracks can wear thin, there are a few songs on this CD that are just gold.

In eight years under head coach Sherry McKinnon, the Ellison Lady Eagles have never swept Temple.
Ellison also has never won consecutive district titles under McKinnon.
But heading into Friday, the Lady Eagles were confident 2014 was going to be the first time for both and even told McKinnon before hosting the Tem-Cats.
"We wanted to stay undefeated," junior Jordanna Porter said of her teammates' bold proclamation. "We don't want to let our coach down, so we felt like we needed to go out there and do all we could to get that win."
Temple didn't make it easy, but Ellison lived up to its word Friday, scoring the final 11 points of the contest to defeat Temple 50-38 at Ellison gymnasium.
The win not only kept Ellison (22-7, 11-0) perfect in league play but clinched the outright District 8-5A title, the Lady Eagles' second in a row.
"I'm just really blessed to be surrounded with great coaches that help me out in every area," McKinnon said, "and an administration that hires some good coaches, people that we need in order to continue to be successful.
"My middle school coaches are doing a great job, so they're feeding us good kids, kids who know a little bit about basketball, so that makes my job a lot easier."
Madison Hattix-Covington, a player who was in middle school this time last year, and Porter, who also began her varsity career as a freshman, were key in helping the Lady Eagles pull away late in the game.
With Temple clinging to a 32-29 lead in the final two minutes of the third, Ellison snapped a 6-0 run with back-to-back baskets, the second of which came after Hattix-Covington stole a pass and went coast to coast, finishing on a runner for a 33-32 lead with 51 seconds remaining in the period.
Hattix-Covington finished with just six points, but McKinnon was happy that the freshman was able to find other ways to affect the game.
"I loved it because there's times when the offense is not there and you're not going to score," McKinnon said. "But the fact that she was in getting offensive rebounds, she got a key steal there, and moving and keeping playing shows that she's getting comfortable in her own skin and playing at this level."
Then in the fourth, Porter sparked an 11-0 run to end the game by canning a corner 3-pointer that put Ellison up 42-38 with 4:20 to play. The 3-pointer was the Lady Eagles' only of the game and their first field goal outside the paint.
Yet Ellison, which shot 38 percent from the field overall, never seemed fazed by its cold shooting.
"You just have to keep shooting and driving and trying to draw a foul until our shots start going in," Hattix-Covington said.
Porter, who played just 3:57 in the first half after picking up two early fouls, came alive just in time for Ellison, scoring 10 of her team-high 15 points in the fourth quarter. Fellow junior Bri'anna Gray also added 11 points while senior Francesca Patrick had 10.
Jazzmen Ortiz scored 19 points to lead all scorers for Temple, but it wasn't enough as the Tem-Cats were shut out in the final 5:31 of the game.
And after making good on its latest promise to McKinnon, Ellison was already looking forward to its next lofty goal for this regular season.
"Undefeated (in district play)," Hattix-Covington said.

Dear Desktop Engineering Reader:
Yesterday, Creaform introduced the UNIscan, the latest edition in its Handyscan 3D series of handheld 3D laser scanners. Now, Creaform calls the UNIscan an entry-level model, but, looking at its specs, you might not think of it as entry level. What is entry level about the UNIscan is its price—very reasonable for this sort of high technology and the options it offers your business. The UNIscan's price is what could make you people in small and mid-sized outfits who know that you should be leveraging laser scanning get off the couch and make the investment .
Let me flop this fish on the table right now: The UNIscan is $28,900. Not exactly the kind of change you'd find in that couch. But not a heck of a lot when you consider that the UNIscan will open up entirely new revenue streams while simultaneously eliminating those money-wasting, time-eating processes that have had you snooping around laser scanning for years now.
What does that mean? UNIscan gives you options. Without the UNIscan, reverse engineering means you either send a part off to a third party and wait (and pay) or you try your hand at drawing an approximation in, say, Inventor, and fiddling and fussing with the model and prototypes until you've a fairly acceptable re-creation of the part. UNIscan, on the other hand, acquires up to 18,000 measures per second of that part and is accurate down to 80 micrometers.
New revenue streams? With UNIscan, you can offer your clients the reverse engineering, inspection, and other services that you once farmed out. Or you can get into new areas like archiving, multimedia, styling, and so forth. Or you can finally really streamline your development cycle, compress time to market, and eliminate extra expenses—all at the same time.
As I said, options. And that's what UNIscan signifies. UNIscan makes 3D laser scanning an affordable, viable option for companies that just couldn't afford the technology and justify the wait for ROI even when they knew laser scanning was something that they could put to good use.
The UNIscan packs a lot of performance into its 2.1 pounds. You can read more about it in today's Pick of the Week write-up. We've provided a couple of links to registration-free and very brief videos that are worth looking into.
Thanks, pal. — Lockwood

I noticed that the system is really pretty shaky about how it chooses the datatype-specific operators to implement sorting and grouping. In the GROUP BY case, for example, the parser looks up an operator named '<' for the column datatype, and then sometime later the executor looks up an operator named '=' for that datatype, and we blithely assume that these operators play together and have the expected semantics. This seems dangerous in a world of user-definable operators. (I think it's already broken by the standard datatype "tinterval", in fact, because tinterval's "=" operator doesn't have the semantics of full equality.) What I'm thinking of doing instead is always looking up the "=" operator by name, and accepting this as actually being equality if it is marked mergejoinable or hashjoinable or has eqsel() as its restriction selectivity estimator (oprrest). If we are looking for a "<" operator to implement sorting/grouping, then we require "=" to be mergejoinable, and we use its lsortop operator (regardless of name). The only standard datatypes for which this would change the behavior are tinterval, path, lseg, and line --- none of which could be sorted/grouped correctly with the available operators, anyhow. User-defined datatypes would stop working as sort/group columns unless the author were careful to mark the equality operator as mergejoinable, but that's a simple addition to the operator definition. Comments, objections? regards, tom lane

It was a mostly clean and nice hostel, with no 'team spirit' whatsoever. I would recommend it for travelers looking for peace and a cheap play to sleep at. Not the place to meet new people! The rooms could have been cleaner too.. Staff was supernice, with a few exceptions :)

An okay hostel with good facilities and location. The rooms were very cold, there was no chance to hang out in the room because it was freezing.. I catched a cold right away. The ladies-only showers and toilets were great, but the showers had major holes on the floor which was awful! Also the noise was loud every single night so I was glad to have a room in the most quiet area of the building. I recommend the girls' deluce rooms but there is a lot of improving to do, really..
