Fortunately, the Jewish New Year does not have an emblematic ball-dropping ceremony (the single person's nightmare), after which we're supposed to kiss our significant other and, if we don't have one, suffer in silence.
Still, why do these holidays bring on a bout of the blues?
True, it's the most solemn time of the year – a time for inner personal transformation – but it's also a time when we wish we had someone to share that transformation, to realize the significance of these days. It's that simple. At one point or another, we've all felt this way. No matter how satisfied and successful we feel on a daily basis, during the holidays, it's natural for single folk to get a little distressed, and feel more out of place in the presence of so many couples and families.
'Are You Seeing Anyone?'
It's hard enough seeing someone your age married when you haven't even found your ideal mate, but returning to synagogue to see all those people you've known for years and having them ask you about your life becomes even more daunting.
The main question the gossip-mamas always want to ask is, "Are you seeing anyone special?" Not only do you have to answer "no," but you also have to listen to her rave about her own daughter, son or niece's betrothal.
Or worse, she suddenly seems to know "the perfect match" for you, and then wants to set it up.
I can only imagine that this conversation becomes even more overwhelming when said gossip-mama asks where your darling spouse is – and you have to explain to her that you're now separated, divorced or widowed.
Judaism focuses on family and community, and many people have trouble comprehending that you're okay being single, and that you're relishing your independence, be it old or newfound. For some of us, the scrutiny of family pressure to get married or remarried makes it even harder, and sometimes frustrating, to be single, especially this time of year, when everyone's bumping into one another in synagogue hallways and at High Holiday events.
But you need to be honest with yourself and comfortable with your situation, and not let anyone else make you feel isolated or embarrassed because you are alone. If you do become saddened (or even annoyed), allow yourself to feel that way. It's never a good idea to cut off your emotions, so if you need a good cry, do it.
However, make sure to set a time limit on the sulking. That means that if you haven't thrown your sorrows into the river along with the Tashlich breadcrumbs, you should do some serious re-evaluating before you become too overwhelmed.
It's not worth wasting an entire season being miserable because you have no one to bring to your mother or son's break-the-fast meal. You're probably doing your future date a favor anyway, by having them meet the mishpachah long after the holidays have ended and some of the pressure is gone. You can begin autumn – and 5766 – with some freedom and a clean slate, as long as that's coupled with the promise to get out more and enjoy the company of other people.
Holidays are a time of tradition. Whether your traditions lasted only a few years or as many as 50, there's always room to start new ones.
Don't just sit at home and mope by yourself. If you're used to building a sukkah or hosting a holiday dinner and this year don't want to do that alone, make arrangements to join someone else's party. Go to a religious or social event and participate. Attend services somewhere new or pitch in as a volunteer for something worthy. Make a difference by reaching out to the community directly around you.
It's a new year. Take a deep breath and dive right in.

Oh, mar, I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Do you take music with you when you walk? Would it help, or listen to NPR? Maybe if you do it semi regularly, it'll become a habit you look forward to.
Try to stay focused on how good you'll feel years from now if you do it now. And don't push yourself, walk whatever speed you want to, it's all useful.
Maybe you could use a couple of sessions with a therapist to dig deeper, or talk about menopause. Who knows what lurks in our minds! LOL

A dvent, a season of four Sundays, opens the church year. The season begins on the 4th Sunday before Christmas (the Sunday closest to St. Andrew's Day, November 30) and ends on Christmas Eve. The observance of Advent originated in France during the fourth century. The duration of the season varied from four to seven weeks until the Bishop of Rome in the sixth century set the season at four weeks. In ancient times Advent was strictly observed: every Christian was required to attend church service and fast daily.
The word, Advent, consists of two Latin words: ad — venire, "to come to." Advent's message is that God in Christ is coming to the world. The Message of Advent is to "prepare." The Lord is coming whether the world is ready or not. For those unprepared, his coming means judgment. For those ready for his coming, it means salvation.
How does Advent suggest that we prepare?
- Repentance — forsake the sins of the world for a godly way of life.
- Prayer – pray for the coming of Christ, for he shall save.
- Patience – his coming may be delayed. Watch and wait, for his coming may be sudden.
The Mood of Advent
- Expressed in color. The mood of Advent is expressed in the liturgical color, purple. It depicts a feeling of quiet dignity, royalty and repentance. Purple was the traditional color of a king's robe; the coming Christ is King of kings. Advent, like Lent, is a time for solemn and sober thought about one's sins, leading to repentance. It denotes a quiet time for watching, waiting and praying for Christ to come again, personally and universally. An alternate color for Advent is blue, the color of hope.
- Joy in hope. Advent stresses not so much fulfillment as anticipation of fulfillment: the Lord is coming! Christians have great expectations of Christ's coming again. As a family looks forward to a son returning from a war and as a bride anticipates her wedding day, so a Christian looks forward with joy to Christ's coming. In the quiet joy of anticipation and not the joy of celebration of a past event.
The Advent Wreath
The Advent Wreath is the widely recognized symbol of Advent. The wreath is made of a circle of evergreen branches laid flat to symbolize the endless nature of God's love for his people. Four candles stand in the circle which themselves symbolize the four centuries of waiting between the prophet Malachi and the birth of Christ.
Traditionally, three of the candles are purple and the fourth, the "Joy" candle is pink. Blue candles may also be used to emphasize our hope in God's promise fulfilled in the Nativity.
This draws attention to the anticipation of the coming of a Messiah that weaves its way like a golden thread through Old Testament history. The Israelites yearned for a return of God's dynamic presence in their midst. And so, God revealed to some of the prophets that indeed He would not leave His people without a true Shepherd.
First Sunday in Advent – Light the first purple candle which is the candle of hope and in some traditions prophecy because it reminds us that God foretold the coming of His Son and it represents the period of waiting.
Second Sunday in Advent – Light the first and the second purple candle which is the candle of peace and in some traditions it is called the Bethlehem Candle because it reminds of that even God prepared for the birth of His Son. The manger in Bethlehem became a cradle fit for a King.
Third Sunday in Advent – light the first two purple candles and the pink candle that is called the candle of Joy and in some traditions the Shepherds' candle. It reminds us of the poor shepherds who were the first people to see Jesus – that we all need a shepherd and that Jesus is our shepherd. God loves all people. Some are rich and famous, but others are poor and sometimes hungry. Each has very special place in the heart of God.
Fourth Sunday in Advent – light the 4th purple of love and the pink candles. This candle is also called the Angel's Candle. It reminds us that love came into the world when Jesus was born and represents rejoicing.
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
All the candles are lit and the white candle in the centre which is Christ's Candle – Happy Birthday dear Jesus!
Symbols of the Advent Wreath
- The Circle: God has no beginning and no end. His love is ever lasting and universal.
- Evergreens: Green is the color of hope. It is a sign of our hope and belief that the Saviour has come for us.
- Four Candles: The Chosen People of the Old Testament waited 4000 years for the coming of the Saviour. Our four weeks of Advent represent our preparation and longing for the coming of Jesus.
- Three Purple Candles: Purple is the color that symbolizes sorrow and repentance. It reminds us to return to the love and kindness of our Savior.
- One Rose or Pink Candle: Pink represents Joy. At the third Sunday of Advent we pause in the penance and rejoice in the fact that the celebration of the coming of our Saviour is almost here.
- Lighted Candle: Jesus is the Light who guides us. Each Sunday an additional candle is lit.
[St Matthews Anglican Church, B. C., Canada.]

Anyone in Vegas want to help change a clutch?
My throwout bearing has been going bad for several months now and today I was driving by Red Rock and my 5th gear started making a ridiculously loud and bad sound. Performance didn't change, and gears 1 - 4 work fine and dandy so rather than drive in 4th gear for the rest of the clutch's life, I suppose it's just time to change it.
I've never changed a clutch but I have a Hayne's manual and I'll probably be doing the work at the auto hobby place on Nellis Air Force Base (unless you have a better place?). They have lifts and supposedly all the tools I will need.
Anyone feel like lending a hand? I don't have much to offer. But I can throw a case of beer and some food at you for sure. I'm off this Tuesday, and if that doesn't work then I'm off on Friday as well. Also, I don't think we can drink beer while working on base... military and safety blah blah.

Both NASA and the National Science Foundation (NSF) won bigger 2002 budgets from Congress last week than the Bush Administration had requested back in April. But only one agency is really happy with the outcome.
NSF was granted a 7.7% increase for its $3.6 billion research account, which, to the agency's delight, more than wipes out a 0.5% cut proposed by the president. Added to Congress's 11% increase for NSF's education programs, the result is a $4.8 billion budget for the fiscal year that began on 1 October. NSF's cross-disciplinary initiatives fared well in its new budget, with information technology and nanotechnology each getting $25 million more than the request, to $297 million and $198 million, respectively. The spending bill also overrode the Administration's desire to block any major new research facilities. Annual stipends for three graduate research and teaching fellowship programs will rise from $18,000 to $21,500 as part of the foundation's campaign to make them more competitive.
"I'm really, really pleased with our numbers for 2002," said a visibly relieved NSF Director Rita Colwell, whose campaign to double the agency's budget in 5 years took a sharp hit when the incoming Bush Administration proposed cutting it instead. One reason for Colwell's pleasure is that in NSF's case, Congress largely avoided the earmarks--pet projects of individual legislators--that are taking a record bite out of NASA's budget.
In NASA's case, a 3.8% increase, to $14.8 billion, does include money to kick off a long-awaited mission to Pluto and boost support for a nascent effort to study the sun. A $30 million payment for a 2006 Pluto mission, though, comes with two caveats: There's no commitment beyond 2002, and the power sources needed for the journey are already spoken for by a later mission to Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. Congress also imposed a $1 billion cap on the cost of that payload.
More troubling to NASA officials is the $532 million allotted to 136 projects tailored to benefit the districts of specific lawmakers. That smorgasbord of pork leaves NASA with a paltry increase of $8 million to spend as it wishes, and little flexibility to cope with a $75 million cut in funding for the international space station. Although this year's science programs won't be affected directly, agency managers say that overseeing the 2002 budget could be a fiscal nightmare for the successor to NASA Administrator Dan Goldin, who steps down this week.

Boston: Tech in the City
Harmonix Music Systems
Headuarters: Cambridge, MA
About: If you've jammed with Guitar Hero or Rock Band, you're familiar with Harmonix. Founders Alex Rigopulos and Eran Egozy met as students while researching music gaming at MIT's Media Lab. After developing several computer and video games, RedOctane approached Harmonix and Guitar Hero was born. In September 2006, the company was purchased by MTV Networks (a media conglomerate of Viacom) for $175 million and, after meeting final contractual obligations with the release of Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks of the 80s, developed and released Rock Band under MTV. (Guitar Hero continued development under Activision, but eventually shuttered.) Rock Band expanded on the gameplay of Guitar Hero, adding drums and a microphone. In 2009, The Boston Globe ranked Harmonix the third overall best place to work in Massachusetts (top among midsize companies), based on its direction, management, and annual company singing competitions. At the end of 2010, Viacom sold Harmonix for an estimated $200 million, and the company essentially became independent. With a humble patent portfolio, Hamonix continues to rock on in Cambridge.

About: The computer game developer and pioneer of massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), Turbine (a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment) claims to be "Powered By Our Fans." PricewaterhouseCoopers forecasts that by 2014, global video game industry sales will reach $84 billion, and with games like Asheron's Call, Dungeons & Dragons Online, and The Lord of the Rings Online in its repertoire, Turbine is poised to pocket some of that cash. The company employs more than 400 storytellers, animators, programmers, composers, engineers, and quality assurance testers in its Needham office.

About: Sometimes the subway or city bus just doesn't cut it. On the days that college kids and city-dwellers need extra capacity or flexibility, Zipcar comes to the rescue. Billable by the hour or the day, the car-sharing program borrowed its model from existing European countries. In June 2000, the first Zipcars hit the roads in Boston and now, with membership topping 650,000, the environmentally friendly company serves more than 20 cities worldwide and hundreds of college campuses. Last April, Zipcar went public after raising $174 million in its IPO, about $100 million more than initially expected. The company turned a profit for the first time in the third quarter of 2011 ($700,000 on 24 percent revenue growth), and is now looking to make headway in the moving industry.
E Ink
Headquarters: Cambridge, MA
About: E Ink is to e-readers as Route 128 is to Boston; without the former, the latter would be inoperative. The company, founded in 1997 as a spin-off from the MIT Media Lab, is the world's leading developer and supplier of electronic paper displays. You can do more than read E Ink, though. You can wear it, ride it, and pay with it. In June 2009, E Ink was purchased by a primary business partner, Taiwan-based Prime View International (PVI), for $215 million, but the headquarters stayed put. A year later, MIT's Technology Review named PVI one of the top 50 most innovative companies in the world. This past November, it boasted $1 billion in revenue for 2011.
Headquarters: Bedford, MA
About: Robots are often the villains in sci-fi flicks, but the machines made by iRobot hope to save the world. The revolutionary robotics company sprung out of MIT's Artificial Intelligence Lab in 1990, and in 1998 it won a contract with DARPA, which led to the development of the PackBot, a series of military robots capable of surveying hazardous situations. Since then, its ground and maritime bots have been on site at Ground Zero in New York City, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan. More than 2,000 are currently deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. But iRobot is also a household name; the company has sold more than 6 million home robots worldwide, some of which clean floors, like the Scooba 230, and others which vacuum, like the Roomba 770. iRobot is also exploring how bots can be used in hospitals to perform procedures.

Chocolate City Beer, one of the few craft breweries in Washington, DC released its oak-aged Imperial Stout Saturday at its facility located at 2801 8th St. NE.. The beer "Mister Mayor" was made with Marionberries. Clever, clever.
900 available 300 left, and two cases of it have already been commandeered by Schneider's on Capitol Hill.
Mister Mayor was aged for seven months in whiskey barrels from Copper Fox Distillery, located in Sperryville, VA. At 11.5% alcohol by volume (ABV), this medium bodied and roasted stout packs a tart, fruity taste. The barrel aging has also infused the beer with coconut and vanilla flavors for a round, mellow taste.
Last Monday volunteers and staff hunkered down for a bottling session at the DC brewery. The team assisted with the labeling, cleaning, and packaging of this limited release brew. The beer will be sold in 22 ounce bottles at $12 a pop. The price sounds steep for a bottle of beer, but this isn't Natty Bo. Think of it like a bottle of wine you'd share with a friend, take it slow. And don't forget—everyone is doing it.
Founded in 2009, Chocolate City Beer is located in the Brookland neighborhood in Northeast, Washington, DC. Along with its flagship Cornerstone Copper Ale, Chocolate City Beer also produces Cerveza Nacional de la Capital Dark Vienna Lager, 1814 ESB, First Coast Bohemian Pilsner, and a number of other seasonal and limited releases.
Don't worry if you can't make it this weekend, the brewery is open every Saturday to the public for free tours and tastings, as well as 64 ounce growler and other merchandise sales.

HOBART, Australia - Mona Barthel had the biggest victory of her career in terms of ranking on Wednesday, knocking second-seeded and 27th-ranked Anabel Medina Garrigues out of the Moorilla Hobart International.
Barthel, who had to win three qualifying matches here to make the main draw, raced out to a 5-0 first set lead and a 5-2 second set lead in her convincing 61 64 triumph. Her foe in Thursday's quarterfinals will be Jarmila Gajdosova.
The defending champion and No.5 seed Gajdosova outlasted fellow Australian Anastasia Rodionova, 63 16 64, losing a set for the first time in seven career main draw matches here. The thriller featured a rollercoaster third set in which Gajdosova went up 4-1, dropped three straight games and then held and broke Rodionova to seal the match.
"Felt like I played pretty good tennis today but was a bit unlucky at the end," Rodionova tweeted. "Looking forward to the Australian Open! But I still have doubles here."
Also Wednesday, sixth-seeded Shahar Peer was tested but prevailed in a rain-interrupted clash with qualifier Sacha Jones, 76(7) 64. The Israeli survived four set points in the first set and rallied from 4-2 down in the second set.
"What a day! Warmed up four times. Came off the court three times," tweeted Peer, who next plays Anna Chakvetadze. "From the start to the end it took eight hours to play."

SNOWBIRD, Utah
From the chairlift, the mountain looks like a snow-covered playground. And I approach it like a video game character.
I spot an untouched run to the right, strewn with craggy cliffs and daring steeps. Just a look starts my heart racing, adrenaline pumping like a tidal surge on a river.
The beauty of this world-class ski resort, in the heart of Utah's Little Cottonwood Canyon, can often mask its perils.
This I know. On my last run down the mountain, I miscued a jump and ended smeared in snow, ego bruised and gear scattered about like yard sale debris.
But I didn't give up. A traverse and short hike into the backcountry puts me at the top of another line, which — as always — appears more daunting than envisioned in my indestructible video game mind.
It's not too hard. A few fellow thrill-seekers left tracks that snake nicely through the knee-deep snow. But placid figure-eight turns are so 1990.
Clipping into my skis and tightening my backpack straps, I plot my run. It begins with a lip of snow that drops straight to the hill, then I'll make a handful of turns around a rock cliff and then a clear sail to the bottom.
Summoning courage and forgetting my last fall, I start along the ridge with speed and launch off the wind lip with a 360-degree spin, grabbing my ski in front of my left boot before landing solidly 15 feet down the hill in a splash of powder.
Arc left, arc right, repeat and then straight off the small cliff, turning 180 degrees and landing switch — backward — not gracefully, but upright.
A silent fist pump to the sky. A sigh of relief.
X-Games flavor
This is freeskiing, a genre of skiing fueled with equal parts of big thrills and creative style that pushes riders to new heights and infuses a freedom of expression into an often-stodgy sport.
And this is Utah, an easily accessible yet premier destination for those who want to forgo crowded groomed runs to stretch what's possible on two planks and snow.
Jumping cliffs and skiing steeps is nothing new. Once the domain of ski mountaineers and extreme skiers, a new generation is infusing an X-Games, terrain-park flavor into the backcountry.
And its legitimacy is growing as national competitive circuits form, staging events at places like Snowbird and awarding prize money into six figures.
"New school" skiing started in the late 1990s. It formed as a rebuttal to the rigid, Olympic-defined freestyle skiing and blossomed with the advent of twin-tipped skis, which curve up in the front and back like a snowboard to allow multidirectional riding.
Borrowing from snowboarding style, freeskiing caught fire in terrain parks where obstacles like half-pipes, wedge-shaped jumps and urban handrails rewarded creativity and going big.
Real big. This spring, X Games gold medalist Simon Dumont set a new world record by soaring 35 feet above a 38-foot quarterpipe ramp, pulling a cork 900, or off-axis spin of 2 1/2 rotations. At the top of his flight he was 73 feet off the ground.
"My main reason for skiing is just to see how far I can push it," he told a Poor Boyz Productions film crew documenting his feat.
This new realm appeals to the younger generation but also older skiers looking for a challenge. And it continues to evolve.
Now riders are taking the tricks honed in the park — two and three rotations, single and double flips, taking off and landing backward, all with stylistic grabs at ski tips or tails — into the backcountry, finding natural features such as cliffs and building huge jumps known as kickers.
"The thing I love about skiing would be just the freedom involved with it, especially in the backcountry," says John Spriggs, in the newly released ski movie Reasons, a highlight reel showcasing the best of the freeskiing, including Dumont. "It's everything your mind can see. It's just whatever you want to do."
The sport's never-ending drive to push boundaries does lead to dangers, whether sometimes-fatal avalanches in uncontrolled areas or career-ending injuries.
In December 2006, pro freeskier C.R. Johnson suffered a severe head injury and spent six months in a coma after a skiing accident in the Utah backcountry. He was wearing a helmet.
New horizons
Even still, and possibly because of this danger, setting new boundaries and progression in freeskiing continues.
Snowbird, topping out at 11,000 feet, offers an ideal base for exploring these new horizons or learning freeskiing techniques. Its 2,500 acres is some of the gnarliest terrain in North America. The 500 inches of average snowfall that falls in dry heaps of powder is renowned, too.
The slopes inside the controlled areas offer a week's worth of exploration, and the majestic scenery leaves visitors inspired.
To navigate a big mountain like this, buy an advanced lesson. I found mine was more guiding than teaching, and I learned many of the secret spots and the best places to ski at particular times of the day.
Skiers often queue at the top of runs waiting for the ski patrol to render them safe. It takes only minutes for the crowd at the entrance to Road to Provo to put its signature on an untouched powder run.
But it's not hard to find solitude or a line to yourself. It's here that you can experiment with skiing style; try riding switch, launching cliffs and generally expanding your comfort zone.
And don't forget the fist pump.

Israel stepped up military action in Lebanon after a Katyusha rocket hit an apartment bloc in northern Israel shortly after dawn Tuesday, killing a sleeping 14-year-old boy and wounding his father, sister and infant nephew.
Israeli planes hit terrorist targets several hours after the attack on the Galilee panhandle town of Kiryat Shmona, in which two other persons sustained slight injuries.
Israeli aircraft flying over Lebanon scored accurate hits against bases of the Islamic fundamentalist Hezbollah and other terrorist groups north of the Israeli-controlled buffer zone, the Israeli army spokesman said.
The air sorties followed a day of intensive Israeli air, artillery and naval bombardment of Hezbollah and other terror bases across a broad front, from the coast in the west to the Har Dov region in the east.
Those attacks were in retaliation for the bombing of an Israeli army convoy by Hezbollah forces in southern Lebanon on Sunday that left five soldiers dead and another five wounded.
There were also reports Tuesday of Israeli tanks and other military equipment streaming north toward the border, raising the possibility of a ground attack. But foreign news agencies quoted Israeli military sources as saying there were no imminent plans to mount such an assault.
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin made clear he was determined to "restore quiet" to the area. But he also said Israel would remain engaged in the peace talks in Washington rather than play into the hands of Moslem fundamentalist groups by walking out.
Similar sentiments were expressed in New York by the new Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, Gad Ya'acobi. In his maiden address to the U.N. General Assembly, Ya'acobi said provocation would not divert Israel from the peace track, though the country would defend its citizens with its "full force and authority."
The rocket attack on Kiryat Shmona was the latest round in a cycle of violence that began last weekend with the killing of five soldiers in southern Lebanon and the shooting death of a soldier in the West Bank town of Hebron.
In Kiryat Shmona, Vadim Shuchman was killed when a rocket slammed into the wall of a second-floor enclosed balcony in which he was sleeping. His sister received treatment for light injuries but stayed at the hospital to help care for her seriously wounded 9-month-old son. The father, too, was seriously hurt.
The family arrived in Israel two years ago from the former Soviet Union.
Continued violence also was reported Tuesday in the administered territories.
In the West Bank town of Jenin, a 40-year-old member of Moshav Ganim, Motti Biton, suffered serious chest and head injuries when he was shot at close range. His wife returned fire with a pistol and sustained slight wounds.
In the Gaza Strip, a member of Moshav Netzer Hazani was struck with an ax in an attack by three Palestinians. He was hospitalized in Beersheba.
Those incidents and other recent terrorist attacks against Jewish civilians in the territories prompted hundreds of angry settlers to stage a rowdy demonstration in Jerusalem on Tuesday evening.
The demonstration, outside the prime minister's official residence, turned violent, with protesters battling police and eventually being driven back by water cannon. Some two dozen arrests were made.
The government's handling of the security situation also came under criticism in the Knesset. Knesset member Moshe Peled of the right-wing Tsomet party urged the government to call the peace negotiators home from Washington.
But other opposition politicians were less direct. Likud leader Yitzhak Shamir said suspension of the peace talks was something the government "might consider doing," but he did not specifically recommend it.
Both coalition and opposition members questioned the efficacy of the heavy shelling attacks that began Monday against targets in southern Lebanon.
Eliahu Ben-Elissar of Likud and Yossi Sarid of the left-wing Meretz bloc, which is a partner in Rabin's coalition, argued that the shelling achieved scant military effect while provoking terrorists to respond with Katyusha rockets.
Rabin, for his part, said Israel's military actions were intended to "send signals" to the Syrians, in addition to directly punishing terrorist groups involved in the recent attacks on Israeli targets.
Rabin also explained his policy in southern Lebanon to the U.S. charge d'affaires, who came to see him on the instructions of acting Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger, reportedly to urge restraint.
In New York, the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations sent a message to the White House on Tuesday asserting that Iran bears major responsibility along with Syria and the Palestine Liberation Organization for the upsurge of anti-Israel violence.
"As the party that convened and is hosting the Middle East peace talks, the United States has an obligation to insist that Syria end its support of Iranian and Palestinian terrorist gangs, and that the PLO order a halt to the latest round of violence by Palestinian groups that claim PLO membership," the message said.
It was signed by Shoshana Cardin, the umbrella group's chairman, and by Malcolm Hoenlein, its executive director.
One bright spot in the otherwise gloomy situation is that it may help resolve a domestic political crisis that threatened to unravel Rabin's governing coalition.
Political observers believe the security situation will make it easier for the prime minister's two feuding coalition partners, Shas and Meretz, to back away from their confrontation over recent controversial statements made by Education Minister Shulamit Aloni. The two parties are holding informal discussions and the hope is that they can resolve the crisis peaceably before a no-confidence vote in the Knesset next Monday.
Meanwhile, the two parties' leaders, Arye Deri of the fervently Orthodox Shas and the avowedly secularist Aloni of Meretz, are participating together in the ongoing Cabinet consultations with Rabin over the unfolding situation in the north.

If Knowshon Moreno's groin hurt that bad, it didn't show.
The Denver Broncos rookie running back, who was a late addition on the injury report Friday, said he was never worried about missing the game, even though he was listed as questionable. And for the second straight game, Moreno got more carries than starter Correll Buckhalter. Moreno got 90 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries. Buckhalter picked up 108 yards on 14 carries.
"It's a long season and we're trying to stay healthy," Moreno said of the rotation.
The Broncos are having good success rotating their backs, and will continue doing that.
"We try to keep a fresh back in the game most of the time," Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said. "We don't have a planned formula, we don't set it up for certain carries."
Marshall's breakout
Receiver Brandon Marshall played his best game of the season. With the Broncos attacking the middle of Oakland's defense instead of testing the cornerbacks on the perimeter, Marshall caught five passes for 67 yards and a touchdown.
"Brandon had a great week of practice, which translated into a great game," quarterback Kyle Orton said.
Head's up play
When Raiders running back Darren McFadden fumbled in the third quarter, safety Brian Dawkins was out of bounds. Dawkins smartly jumped in bounds, reestablished himself in the field of play and then recovered the fumble.
"I've watched the game long enough and played long enough to know that like a receiver, you need to have your two feet in bounds and establish yourself back on the field of play before you recover the ball," Dawkins said.
Odds and ends
Cornerback Alphonso Smith left the game in the first half with an ankle injury. He was replaced at nickel cornerback by Jack Williams. … Although he missed two practices this week and was listed as questionable, receiver Brandon Stokley was active. He didn't play much, however, and didn't catch a pass.

Tim Tebow can draw a crowd. On Saturday, the former Florida Gators quarterback who now plies his trade with Denver Broncos packed the TPC Sawgrass golf course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., with celebrities for a charity event.
The Tim Tebow Foundation Celebrity Golf Classic raises money to benefit underprivileged children, according to the Florida Times-Union. It also serves as a kickoff event for the PGA's Players Championship next week at Sawgrass, outside Jacksonville.
Fans flocked to Saturday's event, with estimates of 1,000 on hand. "They're here to see the left-handed quarterback," Urban Meyer, who was Tebow's coach at Florida, told the Times-Union.
Tebow's event included a Friday gala and golf on Saturday.
Former UF players were plentiful at the event, the Times-Union reports. Meyer and his successor, Will Muschamp, were on hand as well.
On the list for the event, according to the report, were former Gators players Danny Wuerffel, Fred Taylor, Brandon Spikes, Maurkice Pouncey and Mike Pouncey; plus other NFL players and pro athletes including David Garrard, Leon Washington, Christian Ponder, Adrian Peterson, Elvis Dumervil, Artis Gilmore and John Lynch.
Peterson flew in from Los Angeles, settling a bet between him and Tebow from a previous event in Las Vegas. The wager came, according to the Orlando Sentinel, on a game of H-O-R-S-E.
"Originally, when I made the bet, accepted the bet, I wasn't thinking that he was left-handed, so it was all these trick shots with his left hand," Peterson said. "He pretty much didn't miss anything, and I can barely shoot with my right hand."
Ponder, Peterson's soon-to-be teammate with the Minnesota Vikings, might have felt in hostile territory at the event -- he, after all, played for Florida State. On the contrary, he told the Sentinel he was an invited guest.
"Me and Timmy share the same agent, so he got in contact with my agent and asked if I could come," Ponder told the Sentinel. "Obviously, it's for a good cause, so you kind of forget about the whole Florida State-Florida deal and try to help the kids."
"It's amazing," Tebow said. "I'm definitely happy and thankful to come back to my hometown (Jacksonville) and see this much support."
There was no immediate information on how much the weekend events raised for Tebow's charity.

Here we tested the ballista by attempting to launch a shovel handle. The result: We could probably throw the shovel handle farther, but at least the concept works!
Attempting to launch a much lighter projectile. Unfortunately, the launch mechanism failed.
We wind the ballista to full power. The projectile clears the yard.
Our first test firing of the ballista. Probably not a good idea to be testing this indoors!
While we didn't get the spectacular results we were hoping for, we were nonetheless satisfied with our first attempt at building a medieval war machine.

First PolyMet hearing tonight in Duluth, but do comments matter?
Elizabeth Dunbar
Four years ago, the Department of Natural Resources organized a similar process for an earlier environmental study. That comment period generated 3,800 postcards, e-mails, letters and statements that yielded about 10,000 different claims regarding water quality, mining economics and myriad other topics that the DNR is still working to respond to as part of its legal obligation.
The comments gathered in the next couple of months could easily eclipse those numbers — already the DNR has heard from more people than it did four years ago. DNR officials have said in recent days that they prefer substantive, technical comments on the environmental study rather than statements of support or opposition.
That view raises questions about just how important public comments are in PolyMet's quest to build a mine and processing facility near Hoyt Lakes.
The comments do matter, said Steve Colvin, deputy director of the DNR's Division of Ecological and Water Resources. He said both PolyMet's proposal and some of the ways experts have analyzed its impact on the environment have changed from four years ago, in part because of public comments.
"We're looking forward to a good, robust presentation of people's thoughts," said Colvin, who has been overseeing PolyMet's environmental review. "Every comment is read and every comment is considered."
DNR officials have noted the 2,200-page environmental impact statement isn't a decision-making document, so messages like "bring on the jobs" or "protect our lakes and keep mining out" don't hold much water.
Some environmental groups have taken issue with those instructions.
"The regulating agencies will say all they consider is the science, but they know the day after comments close the question is what's the count," said Bob Tammen, a retired electrician who opposes copper-nickel mining and plans to attend the Duluth public meeting.
"Not only do our agencies look at the science, they look at how much people care," said Tammen, who once worked for the iron mining industry. "I think it's important that all of us who care comment on this EIS. It doesn't have to be complicated.
"It's our values," Tammen said. "Do we value clean water in Minnesota? Have mining companies historically degraded clean water in a copper mining industry? They always have."
At the last public meetings, held during the height of the recession, mining supporters' calls for more jobs on the Iron Range dominated the oral comments delivered to a stenographer.
An MPR News analysis of the 3,800 pieces of correspondence the DNR collected during that first public comment period shows three-quarters of those who showed up to speak supported PolyMet. But two-thirds of those who submitted written comments expressed concerns about the project, and many outright opposed it.
How those comments will stack up this time remains to be seen.
Those who have observed the public comment process for controversial environmental studies say public comments almost always result in modifications to a proposal.
"Certainly if the public raises concerns about environmental impacts that weren't properly addressed in the environmental review document, the agency is going to have to address those comments," said Alexandra Klass, a University of Minnesota law professor who has expertise in environmental review.
Klass said although the environmental review isn't a final decision, it becomes the basis for permitting decisions.
"If enough pressure is put on an agency or the governor who is in charge of the agency, maybe a permit isn't granted," she said.
But Klass agrees with University of Pennsylvania law professor Cary Coglianese that the facts that come out as part of an environmental review are what have legal bearing.
"If the agency puts out for public comment a particular federal action and gets thousands upon thousands of letters or emails or faxes that oppose the action under consideration, it can still go forward with it," Coglianese said. "As a legal matter, the fact that there were thousands of people opposed to the action doesn't make any difference. It's not an election."
That may be true, but it is an election year for Gov. Mark Dayton, U.S. Sen. Al Franken, members of Congress and members of the Minnesota House. Dayton, for one, has said he will remain neutral on the PolyMet question until he reviews the environmental study and the public's response to it.
Mark Resch, an electrician who grew up on the Iron Range but now lives on Coon Rapids, is among those who plan to again express support for PolyMet. If mining expands in northern Minnesota, Resch thinks he and his wife LaDonna, a bank manager, could find jobs there and raise their 4-year-old son Matthew, who loves snowmobiling and waterskiing.
"Every time we go up it's like ahhh. It's nice to be able to go out and see the stars and night and just have that quiet," Resch said. "The more people from up north that you can get working there, they're going to feel more accountable and make sure things are being done the way they're supposed to."

found two mags
Whoo found two 5.45x39 30 round magazines online for 13 bucks a piece!! And they're not backordered!!
Where did you find them I have been looking for two weeks.
Send me a PM on your source if you would please?
I live in Ohio, and I occasionally shop at the Dunham's chain. About two weeks ago I found two mags there. One was a plastic mag, and one was a 40 rd steel mag. I bought both of them. I've bought mags there before, and it's just out of the way enough that a lot of people never think to look there.

Manchester City may develop players at MLS franchise New York City FC
Manchester City will consider sending young players to its MLS team, New York City FC, to develop, according to BBC Sport.
City owns the MLS club in partnership with the New York Yankees. Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano described the plan to use New York City FC as a way to give young players more experience.
"We have some bright players. We might ask them to come to New York before they play at Manchester," City chief executive Ferran Soriano told ESPN.
"This is a team that's going to play beautiful soccer in New York."
New York City FC will play its first season in the MLS beginning in March 2015. The team signed England and Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard to a two-year contract last week. New York also added goalkeeper Josh Saunders last month.
Manchester City will open its defense of the Premier League title on Aug. 17 against Newcastle.

Fire damaged a home in the 8800 block of Dixie Blanchard Rd. in Caddo Parish Friday night.
No one was home at the time of the fire. A passerby saw flames coming out of one end of the trailer home.
Firefighters had to break in to fight the fire, which they believe started around an electrical outlet in the back bedroom. There was heavy damage to that bedroom, and moderate damage to the rest of the trailer.
Firefighters from Fire District 1 initially responded to the call, with help from Fire District 7. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

text: Hur Herald faces hard times By Rusty Marks October 5, 2012 Story Share Kenny Kemp Bob Weaver runs the Hur Herald online newspaper out of his Calhoun County home with his wife, Dianne. The couple has managed to keep the paper going almost 17 years. Kenny Kemp Bob and Dianne Weaver fear a bad economy will force the Hur Herald to shut down. HUR, W.Va. -- Bob Weaver is worried."We don't have a good business plan," concedes Weaver, 72, who comprises exactly one half of the writing, editing, publishing, marketing and advertising staff for the Hur Herald online newspaper."If we had a business plan we'd probably quit tomorrow."Yet, for almost 17 years, Bob Weaver and wife Dianne have kept the self-proclaimed "questionable publication from West Virginia" running. Over the years, the Hur Herald has become popular - even notorious - both locally and abroad for its homey mix of news, colorful local history columns, sometimes bellicose coverage of the Calhoun County crime beat and occasionally flowery prose espousing everything from growing up in "Sunny Cal" to old-timers' advice on how to grind up walnut shells and mix them with butter as a substitute for meat."It hit me so hard it jarred the berries off my grandma's hat," informs one column written by Dianne on local sayings she's picked up over the years."We started doing the Hur Herald just as a joke," Bob says.After moving back to his childhood homeplace in the mid-1990s, Bob and Dianne started hanging out with their neighbors in the small community of Hur, not far as the crow flies from Grantsville. "We had fanciful elections electing the mayor of Hur," Bob explains. "I started the Hur Herald to cover our community."Initially, the Hur Herald was printed on 8 1/2-by-11-inch sheets of paper stapled together. In 1999, Bob and Dianne started publishing the paper online, where for some reason it became noticed by people in Calhoun and neighboring counties. Soon, people all over the country were following the Herald."It started out as a nice country home page, and we had a lot of historic pictures," says Dianne, Bob's wife of 38 years. Later, they started covering real news to make up for a lack of zeal on the part of the local weekly newspaper.Bob says the Hur Herald is seen by 2.2 million people a year. "I don't know why," he says. When pressed, however, it becomes apparent that maybe he really does know.On Sept. 11, 2001, Bob says he got an email photograph of the Twin Towers falling down, sent by a man who photographed the scene from his office in New Jersey. "I wondered why he would send this to me," Bob recalls."He said, 'I read the Hur Herald every morning,'" Bob remembers. "He said, 'I read it because it makes me feel good. It signifies a simpler time.'"There remains a down-home, tongue-in-cheek flavor to the publication, but Bob and Dianne's love of journalism and dedication to the craft are genuine."I came from a family of readers," says Dianne. "I remember in Spencer High School, I couldn't wait to get into the library." There, she would devour the newspapers hanging on wooden rods. Dianne was disappointed when the weekend came, because she couldn't get into the library to look at the papers.In 1969, fresh out of school, she heard about an opening at the local newspaper. With absolutely no experience or training, and armed with nothing but a love of newspapers, Dianne badgered the editors until they let her try her hand at journalism.Starting in the paste-up room, she quickly mastered any task they gave her. "I must have had a talent for it, because I caught on real quick," she remembers.Dianne got an offer for a full-time journalism job, but it would have meant leaving Spencer. So she went to work at O.J. Morrison's department store instead."In high school I got enthralled with the school newspaper," Bob remembers. He worked for Grantsville's weekly newspaper in high school in the late 1950s, went to Marietta, Ohio, to work in radio and came back to Spencer in the early 1960s to help start what is now radio station WVRC.Bob soon discovered the job didn't pay enough to afford both a car and a sleeping room. He gave up the sleeping room and started sleeping in his car. "I went to work at a funeral home because I'd starve to death doing newspapers and radio," he says.The next few decades were spent at funeral homes in Spencer and Weston, then a stint running alcohol abuse programs in West Virginia and Ohio.Bob's return to Calhoun County coincided with the creation of the Hur Herald and his election to the Calhoun County Commission. He is now in his third term.Bob concedes that reporting on government while being part of the government can be a challenge."I suppose it can be a conflict of interest at times," he says. Having to file a Freedom of Information Act request against the county clerk was a little awkward, he admits.Bob says the future of the Hur Herald is in doubt. Recent issues include increasingly passionate appeals for donations to help keep the online paper running."We run it on a shoestring," he says, adding that it costs about $20,000 a year to run the publication. "It's always a struggle."Bob says easy access to the Internet has led people to expect information for free. "I think it's a dilemma that goes on everywhere in the USA," he says. Bob wonders if there will still be newspapers in a few years."As someone who loves newspapers, magazines and print publications, I'm really concerned about their future," he says.Reach Rusty Marks at email@example.com or 304-348-1215.

Hi everyone! I'm back, after an unexpected break from blogging, to share one of my last summery outfits with you. My routine has been quite hectic lately and I've really missed blogging regularly, so it's lovely to get back to it, now I have some images to share with you. Slowly but surely, I'm seeing signs of autumn around me, but for now I'm choosing to ignore them, as I'm not prepared to embrace colder weather just yet. So please just humour me, as I intend to delude myself for as long as I can.
For this outfit, I'm wearing a bird print peplum top, which I wore after quite a long time, with dark blue jeans and my copper-toned ballet pumps, as an alternative to my beloved trainers. I love the dark background of the top with the summery bird print, as I think the colour scheme makes the top more wearable and versatile, for a stylish everyday look. I wore my Alecta sunglasses with leopard print round frames, which are from Foster Grant kids collection would you believe?! (They were a bargain at the time, and incredibly, they now cost just £1.75 on the Foster Grant website if you're after a pair). I couldn't find a style of sunglasses I liked this much elsewhere, as I find that larger frames don't really suit my face, so I was glad to find these ones purely by chance in a supermarket, and surprisingly they fitted me despite being from the kids collection.
I wanted to capture some images of these red flowers while they were still in bloom, and make the most of late September before the days get shorter. What do you think of this look? Are you a fan of peplum tops? I like them a lot, as the fit and flare shape is really flattering and not too clingy.
Midway through my photo session, I was upstaged by this squirrel.

Dior Homme has positioned itself solidly as my signature scent.
I have the reformulated version, which to some is a tragedy. However, I have smelled both and I prefer this version over the original. Just my personal preference. I think the reformulated Dior Homme line, though missing certain aspects that some people raved about, is now a solid and consistent lineup with not much to really complain about.
Anyway, when I first sprayed this I got a huge blast of iris and leather. It turned me off since I'm not used to this kind of fragrance. Something kept pulling me in, and once the iris and cacao combo set in, I was hooked. I get something new every time I wear it, which is something i deeply appreciate about any form of art (writing, film, music). Sometimes, I get bright florals and earthy, rooty vetiver...other times I've gotten almost a tea-like note (I may be the only one who's gotten that, haha), but always that smooth, buttery iris and cacao drydown.
This is definitely not a scent for a guy who wants something cartoonishly masculine. This has depth and sensitivity, it's softer and subdued, smart and innovative.
On my skin, I get 6-8 hours. It projects just fine with 3 sprays, and in my opinion just isn't meant to be a loud scent that trumpets your arrival. It's meant to be discreet and toned down, yet attractive and inviting. Trust me, for what it is, it works just fine.
It's gonna take a heavy, heavy hitter to knock this from it's spot in my collection.
Pros: Well blended, great combination of notes, good performance.
Cons: Some may find the opening to be a turn-off."
When I first sprayed this, I instantly thought of a private library, cozy, with a fireplace happily burning away in the corner. I was sitting in the middle, wearing a suit, on a plush armchair, about to start reading a book. It was one of the classiest scents I've ever smelled, and up there for one of the best. However, after I went on basenotes, and I saw the lipstick vibe comments, I couldn't get it out of my mind. The lipstick was obviously there, although I didn't pick it up the first time. To be honest, I just rock the lipstick vibe, and go with it. Aint no shame in my game.
Pros: Invigorating, pleasent, classy
Cons: Slightly feminine"

Promise Pegasus R6 & Mac Thunderbolt Reviewby Anand Lal Shimpi on July 8, 2011 2:01 AM EST
The Thunderbolt Cable
Despite the $999 - $1999 price tag of the Promise Pegasus, it does not ship with a Thunderbolt cable. Apple currently offers a 2 meter long Thunderbolt cable for $49. As iFixit discovered this is an active cable with a Genum GN2033 transceiver in each connector:
Gennum GN2033 Transceiver in Apple's Thunderbolt cable - Image Courtesy iFixit
Thanks to all of the added components in the cable each connector is approximately 50.8mm long, much longer than the end of a standard DisplayPort cable.
The Genum transceiver and auxiliary components do generate heat under load. Using an IR thermometer I measured a connector surface temperature of 27.6C at the end plugged into my test MacBook Pro. The end plugged into the Pegasus R6 was warmer (presumably because of its close proximity to the drive cage) at 32.9C. Neither is too hot to handle but both are warmer than you typically expect from a cable plugged into the side (or back) of your computer.

takumsawsherman - Saturday, July 09, 2011 - linkYou mean like booting from a CD or USB flash drive and copying files to a very small, hideable storage container?
Perfectly possible, and in fact I find myself doing this frequently (though copying the data in the other direction typically) when disinfecting PCs. I do this multiple times per week, removing data stealing trojans and rootkits.
Compare with Thunderbolt, where you will "sneak in with only a laptop and a cable and reboot and press T, and ZOMG yor datas are hax0red! Ha HA ha stupid Apple!!!111oneonewonwon"
Leaves obvious traces? Exactly what traces did the Boot CD leave? Reply
Penti - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - linkAs you can password protect (which can be bypassed with physical access any way) the firmware it doesn't matter if it is Firewire/Thunderbolt-target or USB-stick/HDD that access and or copies the files or simply a CD that changes your password so you can just log in an access everything without any effort at all. If you don't have limits on the firmware/bios any way you can just set up whatever, and access anything without any effort, less so then using slow target disk mode, even through network boot is possible which might be on in a corporate/university environment any way.
Just disable the good damn features you don't like, it don't make your computer safe but I'm sure it will quit you whining for nothing.
You will just access everything by running the system rescue tools on the install CD for OS X any how. Windows computers are essentially unprotected any way. So I really don't see how it's any worse then plugging in a USB stick to access everything or change the password (SAM) to blank/whateveryoulike. Screaming about a ten year old feature is just dumb. Just set up a firmware password and it stops people from simply booting a CD, USB-drive, HDD-drive, using target disk mode and network boot any way. It's simply not more vulnerable then PCs any way. It's quite easy to restore the firmware-password thus bypassing it on say an iMac any way, I could easily do it on older macs without taking the entire computer apart. And on a PC of course resetting CMOS password is often troubleless and manufacturers often has master passwords you get by calling the support any way. Later macs has got better protection from resetting the firmware password though. So just set the damn password. Reply
Penti - Friday, July 08, 2011 - linkThey are not driving the screen with a separate control-board. That's why target display is so awkward. You can expect third party stuff (and older macs) will work when Atlona has designed and released an Thunderbolt-compatible adapter/switch/converter/scaler though. It a integrated solution not a screen and a computer separate. The screen is when used normally connected directly to the ATi/AMD 6000M GPU. That's why you can't adjust the screen in Bootcamp/Windows without their software tool too. Reply
HW_mee - Friday, July 08, 2011 - linkThat makes sense, not much you can do to separate the two things if the screen is "merged" with the computer. I expected the computer part and screen part was seperate and the display input could be used in the same way as with most multiple input screens.
If that was the case, a simple power circuit could control the screen and computer separately. Reply

Kimbie - Friday, July 08, 2011 - linkYou made mention about connecting up a monitor to the last port on the chain, by plugging in a thunderbolt cable into the imac and used it as a second screen.
Does this still work if you use a mini-display port to DVI adaptor and into a bog standard DVI monitor?

Focher - Saturday, July 09, 2011 - linkJust to clarify, the last connection in the chain to a mini DisplayPort monitor does not require a Thunderbolt cable. You would just use a mini DP cable. Reply
André - Friday, July 08, 2011 - linkDoes it support JBOD?
Would be really great for us using ZFS+ arrays, although I would have preferred at least 8 bays. Reply
Exodite - Friday, July 08, 2011 - linkThe performance is impressive, though nothing like what you'd get transfering a large number of smaller files obviously.
That said, for 2000 USD why wouldn't I simply build a high-end desktop /with/ 12TB of storage?
It'd still be cheaper and I could put the remainder towards a gilded sticker for the case saying 'cheap-ass NAS'. Reply
André - Friday, July 08, 2011 - linkIt would appear that is the solution for you, building your own NAS.
This enclosure is, however, not a NAS.
It enable users that need high disk performance to get easy access to precisely that in a mobile package you can take on the road with you and edit in the field.
Think large Final Cut Pro (or any other NLE), Logic Studio and Photoshop projects. Reply

Egy éjszaka alapján írom a hozzászólást. Három felnőtt egy 3 ágyas szobában kényelmesen elfértünk. A szoba minden igényt kielégítő tiszta, rendezett volt, kényelmes ágyakkal és jó wifi-vel. A reggeli teljesen rendben volt, mindenki megtalálhatja a saját ízvilágát. A hotel elhelyezkedése is jó, minden nagyon közel van, beleértve a városközpontot is. Külön kiemelném a recepciós Hölgy segítségét, kedvességét, Őt is öröm volt megismerni! Csak így tovább.!
"3C's: Clean, Central, Cheap" It coulnd't be better for this price. Close to restaurants and train station with wi-fi and breakfast included in the price. Parking comes at extra cost but you could park at the station (10' walk) for free. Very nice and friendly staff.
The hotel is in a good location. Close to town (about 5 mins on the bus) and to the train station (about a 10 min walk) without being too much in the middle of anything noisy. The staff were very helpful. Checking timings of buses and trains and giving suggestions of places to eat etc.
Quarto limpo,bom café da manhã e próximo à estação central.Funcionarios prestativos
Bra , lugnt hotell med god tillgång till kommunikationer och restauranger
Very nice stay, the room is clean and the staff were very helpful. Location is quite good since its close to both the station and the old town. Luxembourg is a very comfortable city to visit.
After staying a night in Zurich at a hotel that was too expensive and too small, this hotel was a nice change. The triple room was big enough with some breathing room for three guys. Breakfast was free and pretty good too. The price was much more reasonable than we could find elsewhere.
A nice hotel for one night as I traveled trough Europe. A nice breakfast as well with a good staff. Nothing really bad stood out for me.
Prima bed met fijn beddengoed. Koelkastje was een pre. Goede kamergrootte. Badkamer aan de kleine kant, maar was ok. Hotel ligt op een kwartiertje lopen van het oude centrum in Luxemburg.
We spent two nights here during a brief visit to Luxembourg City. We loved it! It is a really small hotel located in the financial district of Luxembourg and within a reasonable distance of the city centre and the old city. Our room was nicely appointed and well presented with everything we needed, and as it was getting cold outside we enjoyed the warmth and comfort of the room. Check in was easy and the receptionist went to a lot of trouble to ensure we had everything we needed. He took time to give us local maps and explain some of the sightseeing options. We had a car and the garage that was available, although a little distance from the hotel, was easy to find with the very well thought out instructions about how to find it. We had a very nice continental breakfast each morning, and found that just like the rest of the hotel, that the presentation was immaculate and the staff were helpful and very willing to go out of their way to ensure we got everything we needed. We will certainly choose to stay there again if we revisit Luxembourg City.
L'albergo si trova a 5 minuti a piedi dalla stazione e 15 a piedi dal centro, 10 se passate dal Viaduc. Nella vicina piazza si trovano ristoranti e un supermercato oltre a diverse fermate d'autobus tra cui quello per l'aeroporto. L'arredamento è semplice ma le stanze sono pulite e lo staff cortese. Wifi discreto e colazione giusta.
We stayed for two nights in this small friendly hotel. The hotel is 15 minutes walk from the old town and buses from the airport stop a few yards from the door. The main railway station is 500 metres away. Our room and the public areas of the hotel were very clean. The inclusive breakfast was adequate and good quality. The staff we met were polite and efficient and a request for an extra pillow was dealt with promptly.
Localização excelente, acesso fácil ao transporte público e muito próximo da estação, próximo também do centro.Quarto confortável, silencioso e limpo. Uma ducha excelente. O café da manhã bem diversificado e com itens de qualidade, tudo muito saboroso. Funcionários solícitos e bom atendimento na recepção também. Estivemos lá em 2013 e quando eu voltar, ficarei lá novamente.
We only stayed one (Sunday) night, but found the hotel clean and quiet, with helpful staff on reception. The room was a good price for what we got, with a lovely continental breakfast included. It's an easy walk to the city centre, with a road bridge across the gorge so not as steep a walk as it looks on the map! We would definitely stay here again.
We arrived before check in and they were quite full-they did let us check in early once they had available rooms. The rooms were clean and bed comfortable-shower had plenty of hot water. The breakfast was very good. The staff was helpful and provided help with parking to avoid a ticket and paying for overnight parking. The location was about a 20 minute walk to the city center. We arrived on Sunday so most of the places in the area were closed. We would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an economical, clean friendly hotel.
Hotel is nice, clean and silent. It is placed well in Luxembourg-Gare and not far away from station itself. Many shops and restaurants Re close. The Hotel rooms have a good size and beds are very comfortable. Breakfast is reasonable good.
Nous cherchions, pour un court séjour à Luxembourg, une chambre pour 3 personnes et proche de la gare. L'hôtel Christophe Colomb a rempli ces 2 critères efficacement : bien situé par rapport à la gare, et avec une chambre au très bon rapport qualité-prix (peu chère pour un week-end, assez vaste et disposant de 3 lits simples). L'hôtel dispose d'un tout petit lobby, mais d'une salle à manger sympa, qui sert un petit-déjeuner faisant l'affaire. L'hôtel Christophe Colomb a parfaitement rempli sa mission pour ma part et nous a donné ce que nous cherchions, à des tarifs défiant toute concurrence. Par contre, vous n'allez pas y vivre une expérience de luxe ultime ! Je le recommande si vous souhaitez un bon pied-à-terre, efficace, à Luxembourg.
We stayed three nights at the Christophe Columb and were very happy there. Our room was large compared to a typical European hotel room and had a mini-fridge, desk, small table and two chairs, and a large TV with 99 channels, in addition to the beds. The bathroom was spotless as was the entire room. The shower was small but excellent. Prices for beer, wine, water, or soda in the mini-fridge were very reasonable and there was a small empty shelf where we could put our own supplies. There is a lift, making it easy to get to the top floor. The staff at the hotel are very friendly and very helpful. Breakfast is included and while not extravagant, it was still very good with fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries, breads and rolls, butter, jam, juice, hard boiled eggs, ham, cheese, and more. The location couldn't be better. There are small shops, grocery stores and many restaurants within a few blocks, including an Italian place next door to the hotel and an Asian restaurant across the street. The train station is three blocks away and it is a short 15 minute walk into the center of Luxembourg City. We were very pleased with this hotel and got a very good price, especially considering the great location, good breakfast, and large, very clean room. I did extensive research before booking here and our experience showed we picked the best hotel in this price range.
Останавливались в отеле на 2 дня, все очень чисто, уютно, расположение очень удачное для прогулок по городу. Рядом находится вокзал, с которого мы продолжили колесить по Бенилюксу. В номере есть минибар. Завтраки очень вкусные, есть выбор в выпечке, фрукты свежие. Единственная проблема - списали деньги по приезду с карты у товарища, и после этого возврат средств на счет осуществлялся достаточно долго.
Clean hotel with lovely staff and good breakfast. Hotel staff speak French, German and English. Breakfast was served for a good amount of time and included in the price which many of the other hotels we looked at in Luxembourg city didn't. Short walk into the centre.
Nous avions réservé une nuit dans cet hôtel et c'était très bien . Nous avions une chambre triple, côté cour . Les chambres sont spacieuse et très très propre : le seul bémol (mais c'est vraiment pour dire:-), ce serait les serviettes de toilette trop petites (oui, c'est vraiment pour dire) Le petit déj était bien fourni et très bon...
I was on a short business trip in Luxembourg and basically choose the hotel based on location (near the bus routes I needed) and price per night (breakfast included). I knew the location from the earlier trips and was expecting a small ans a bit shabby place. Well, the hotel is small, but in a spotless condition. The room was a single room, but still good space and all the services I needed, including a large safe for my laptop. WiFi worked very well. Breakfast was continental style buffet with enough choices and fast service. i was indeed positively surprised by the hotel.
This hotel was really comfortable for our stay. Triple room is enough spacious for a family and clean. Good location from the city center. Breakfast was really great with many products proposed. Really friendly staff. Parking really practical for our small car. We will come back as soon as possible :-)
Un séjour très agréable, personnel chaleureux et acceuillant. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.
Sehr nettes, zentral gelegenes Hotel mit tollem und immer hilfsbereitem Personal. Egal ob Geschäftsreise oder privater Urlaub, ich kann es empfehlen.

You wouldn't believe the things people make out of old technology. Sometimes they even make art, as you can see from these recycled technology images.
CARS: Optimus Prime
Kreatworks of Bangkok made this nine-foot-tall, 1,100 lb. replica of the Autobot leader entirely out of recycled car and other machine parts. It can be yours via Etsy for a cool $10,500. [Image credit.]
CIRCUIT BOARDS: Geography
Artist Grace Grothous created this piece, titled "Uncharted Terrain," out of old circuit boards. The tiny "buildings" dotting the landscape are actual transistors and circuits that are still attached. [Image credit.]
DRILL BITS: Cityscape
Japanese artist Chu Enoki crafted the incredibly complex cityscape "RPM-1200," as he calls it, out of old drill bits, machine parts, and even some recycled CDs. It's almost entirely silver, which the black backgrounds really sets off. Check the following link for more images that show different perspectives of it. [Image credit.]
LAPTOP: Clock
Another you can buy on Etsy, this one for $69. It's a clock made from a recycled MacBook. My favorite part is how the artist included the mouse! [Image credit.]
RECORDS: Sculpture
Jean Shin melted and sculpted old vinyl records to create "Sound Wave," which the artist says is meant to "speak to the inevitable waves of technology that render each successive generation of recordable media obsolete." Whatever. I just think it looks cool. [Image credit.]
REFRIGERATORS: Igloo
322 fridges went into building this igloo, which the artist, Berlin's Ralf Schmerberg, named "Wastefulness is the biggest source of energy." [Image credit.]
TELEVISIONS: Robot
A graffiti artist named "Mr. Brainwash" held an art show in 2008 in Hollywood, with this towering robot made of old TVs as one of his centerpieces. [Image credit.]
TOASTER: Model Car
Graham Schodda created this, the "Toaster Roadster" for a Seattle art show featuring recycled materials. [Image credit.]
TYPEWRITER: Bust
I wouldn't want to cross this angry typewriter man, would you? Artist Jeremy Mayer makes artistic sculptures using old typewriters as his exclusive medium. This one is actually fairly simplistic in appearance compared to a lot of his other work, which includes a number of full-sized, human figures. [Image credit.]
VCRs: Motorcycle
Dating way back to 1997, artist Alex Andromeda built this "Champion" motorcycle out of old VCR parts (along with some computer bits). He gets major props for including a DC motor for an engine, which allows the motorcycle to actually work. [Image credit.]

Eccleshill United banked a hard-earned point after a goalless draw at Knaresborough Town in Division One of the Northern Counties East League.
The Eagles were high on confidence after booking their place in the West Riding County Cup final following their semi-final win over Guiseley in midweek and they took the game to their hosts.
Despite being the dominant side they had to settle for a point and it cost them two places as they slipped down to seventh.

One goal for the future of electronics is the ability to print large, flexible circuits using machines similar to printing presses. While great strides have been made in developing bendable and lightweight organic materials to use in this type of circuitry, methods to deposit those materials over large areas have not been as successful. Recently, a research group developed a circuit-printing technique that addresses some of the problems that have plagued other attempts.
One such problem, perhaps the biggest, is the inability of the other methods to produce high-resolution features – those down to the micron, or millionth-of-a-meter, scale.
Another issue is the rather low conductivity of the polymer materials used as electrodes in the circuits, which suggests a need for inorganic (metallic) electric contacts. An additional problem is the slight mixing of ink that occurs when ink is layered, which occurs during most types of printing. In conventional graphic-arts printing the end product isn't affected, but, in the case of "electronic inks," mixing would compromise the electrical characteristics of the circuit.
"We envision that a new generation of high-resolution printing plates in combination with nano-based inks will provide the platform for manufacturing electronic devices very similarly to what you see in commercial printing houses today," corresponding author Graciela Blanchet of DuPont told PhysOrg.com.
The researchers inked the plate with a solution of silver nanoparticles, which, after the solvent evaporated, left it coated with a dry film of silver (thereby avoiding any mixing issues). The group next pressed the plate onto a Mylar substrate, transferring the nanoparticles from the raised portions of the plate onto the Mylar without degrading the pattern's high-resolution features. At this point, the printed silver pattern can be sintered (a process in which heat is used to increase the conductivity of the film).
