I honestly don't know if this is genius or a whole world of trouble, or just one of those things that will never take off, but I've seen a little swell of buzz about this in the tech circles I keep and read up on: http://www.weusecoins.com/ Really interested to hear anyone's opinion on this, trying to get my head round it but economics and finance is a bit of a horror to me |

It uses your computer to crunch numbers, and act like a server and you earn coins. Sort of like WoW gold mining, with a bot.+1 / Like / Tweet this post
Aren't there huge implications like potential for money laundering though? I mentioned this to an accountant mate and he was of the opinion it'd swiftly be hurt by governments stamping on currency exchange stuff they mention apparently. -

Registered 13 years agoIt's an interesting idea. Bitcoins are easy to test for validity, but hard to make, thanks to them using public key cryptography. What I didn't understand at first was how they are transferred - anything on a computer is easy to copy. From their wiki's front page:
A coin contains the owner's public key. When a coin is transferred from user A to user B, A adds B�s public key to the coin, and the coin is signed using A's private key. B now owns the coin and can transfer it further. A is prevented from transferring the already spent coin to other users because a public list of all previous transactions is collectively maintained by the network. Before each transaction the coin�s validity will be checked.
I think this public list is likely to be the weak point in such a system.
Also, anything using public key cryptography is going to be wiped out if they ever get quantum computing to work. Despite some interesting noises on that front I don't think that's likely to happen any time soon - possibly not in my lifetime. But odds are it will happen, so if bitcoin does take off, it'll be an interesting day when someone programs a quantum computer to generate bitcoins, and wipes out everyone's bitcoin accounts.Cubby didn't know how to turn off sigs!

Of course you can turn money into coins. That's the function of money laundering. Use money to buy tat on ebay, then sell it back to other people, assuming ebay supports bitcoins in the future. Bingo, you've used money to get bitcoins.Cubby didn't know how to turn off sigs!

I guess it's a question of if it really explodes in popularity and makes an impact on 'real' currencies. At the moment it's small scale enough it's not a problem to banks and government. I can see how it could be though. -

Registered 13 years agoI don't quite understand how they're planning to stop the production of bitcoins in the future. Apparently there's an annual limit which halves each year, so if I understand what they're doing, it's not just a factor of the computing power you throw at it. Since the software is open source, you could modify it to ignore the limit, and I don't see how they can tell it's not playing nice.
Hmm, I suppose if it's using public key cryptography, they're probably signing it using something that needs to be got from the bitcoin network. Just a guess, but that might work.Cubby didn't know how to turn off sigs!
The only thing I can think of that stops it being easy to compromise yet still distributed rather than centralised is if it relies on some kind of comparison to the integrity of other instances of the software polled at random?
This is far from my field of expertise though so that's very much a semi-educated guess
Edit: I think that's perhaps just what you said in your last sentence mal, reading back -
The problem is more that governments have no idea how to tax these so if it becomes too popular then they'll look to shut it down, if they aren't looking already. -

Analytical Troubleshooting
in Aircraft Maintenance
by James Dors
Defines a process for troubleshooting of aircraft systems to benefit aircraft maintenance technicians and maintenance organizations.
Analytical and Strategic Troubleshooting System in Aviation Maintenance speaks to both the maintenance organization and maintenance technician with a comprehensive description of a troubleshooting process that is transferable to any aircraft type or system. The defined stepped process sets a foundation to ensure efficient and effective troubleshooting while identifying benefits both technically and commercially.
From the Preface:
In the volatile aviation industry, with generally low airfare pricing (freight or passenger) and high operating cost from fuel, labor and maintenance, operators as well as maintenance providers are seeking ways to reduce costs and increase reliability and utilization.
One of the costs associated with aircraft which can carry significant incurred cost along with its direct costs is
aircraft defect rectification.
To increase reliability as well as utilization while reducing or avoiding these costs, the industry understands the
need for a skilled pool of technicians to perform efficiently and effectively in rectifying the defects at hand.
The industry has also experienced a noticeable decline in the pool of skilled technicians as well as the quality of
these skilled technicians due to a number of contributing factors.
Technicians alike are looking for ways to improve their skills for career advancement and personal employment
marketability within the industry, as well as for personal fulfillment.
It is for these reasons that I developed and wrote the Analytical and Strategic Troubleshooting System In Aircraft
Maintenance for both the technician and the maintenance organization.
I hope that both the technicians and the maintenance organizations find the following chapters of great benefit
in improving skills and operating efficiencies.

This has the same elements as the game called Spewer.
Graphics are beautiful, but the concept is a little shaky... I got a lot of lag/slowdown in some areas. The team who created this are definitely talented and I look forward to more stuff from them.

I just got a water report back it reports pH 6.6 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Est, ppm 97 Electrical Conductivity, mmho/cm 0.16 Cations / Anions, me/L 1.5 / 1.6 ppm Sodium, Na 3 Potassium, K < 1 Calcium, Ca 18 Magnesium, Mg 6 Total Hardness, CaCO3 70 Nitrate, NO3-N 0.7 (SAFE) Sulfate, SO4-S 1 Chloride, Cl 3 Carbonate, CO3 < 1 Bicarbonate, HCO3 85 Total Alkalinity, CaCO3 70 Fluoride, F 0.03 Total Iron, Fe 0.06 "<" - Not Detected / Below Detection EZ water basically says I have some hard water and will need acidulated malt or lactic acid. Does that sound right?
No, it's not very hard and hardness is not necessarily a bad thing. There are those who will tell you that you must have 50 mg/L calcium (125 calcium hardness). What is a bad thing in most cases (there are exceptions) is alkalinity. Even with 0 alkalinity acid is needed for most beers. Most people breathe a sigh of relief if their water comes back with alkalinity at 50 or less. Yours is a bit over that but not seriously so. There are lots of beers you could brew with this water and, of course, it can be treated in various ways to allow you to tailor it in detail to particular needs for particular brews if you want to do that. For most beers all you need to do is cut it 1:1 with RO water, add a tsp of calcium chloride and/or gypsum and use some sauermalz. See the Primer. You don't even really need to do that but it's a very simple way to consistently guarantee a good beer though improvement is often possible by additional adjustments or refining of the ones given in the Primer.
It does look like I can do most browns and porters/stouts with little change to my water due the acidity of the crystal and roasted malts. I don't want to dilute what I have as that is more $ than using a little lactic acid. From what I can tell 2-3ml of 88% la ti coordinate acid would cut the alkalinity enough to make this water work for about the lightest of grain bills. Does that seem like a reasonable solution if not diluting with RO or distilled water?
Well, tried using Palmer's water chart to suggest beer color/style. Chart doesn't work with your numbers, Mg & Ca low. Anyone use this chart?
Palmer's chart doesn't work with most peoples numbers. AFAIK few people use it as it is now understood that color really has little to do with the chemistry of the water from which the beer was brewed. Put another way, in 'designing' an ion profile for a particular beer its color doesn't even come into consideration for most people. What does is setting mash pH correctly and having the desired flavor effects.
That is an excellent tap water! The alkalinity is a bit high for some styles, but is easily neutralized with a minor acid addition. There is absolutely no need or desire to dilute this water with RO or distilled water. If a brewer wants to calculate what an acid addition should be for this water and their grist, I suggest looking into Bru'n Water. It has the calculators to assist the brewer in getting it right.
Martin B Carmel, IN BJCP National Foam Blowers of Indiana (FBI) Brewing Water Information at:https://sites.google.com/site/brunwater/ Like Bru'n Water on Facebook for occasional discussions on brewing water and Bru'n Water
I'm going to jump back in because I think 'absolutely no need' is a bit strong. There are cases where you would want to dilute with RO. Your alkalinity will have to be dealt with and there are several ways to do this. The obvious one is to remove it. RO more or less completely removes it. Dilution with RO is a means of partially 'removing it'. The other approach is to use acid to neutralize the alkalinity. The acid can come from dark malts (in which case the approach is simply 'brew a dark beer'). The acid can come from acidulated malt or sauergut or it can come from a bottle of either mineral (hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric) or organic (lactic) acid. Which method you use depends on the style of beer you are trying to brew and what your personal tastes are. I personally like the delicate continental lagers. They benefit from very soft water and so I (with alkalinity very similar to OP's) use RO water for almost everything. Conversely, for a brewer who likes the punch of hops, sulfuric acid would be an obvious choice (though additional sulfate supplementation would be required in many cases). For someone who wants the full, round, sweet mellowness that comes from chloride hydrochloric is the clear choice (though again additional chloride would probably be wanted). And so on. Using deionized (literally DI or approaching DI as RO does) has one tremendous advantage over all the other schemes: it is always the same and you always know what's in it (or more precisely, what isn't in it). This enables you to set the ion content to exactly what you want (within the limits of physical realizability) each time you brew.
What kind of flavor changes would you expect to see with a dilution of Phosphoric acid? Would 2-3ml of lactic acid at 88% be detectable in flavor or how would that affect the taste of the end result?
Thank-you Martin, and AJ. I always enjoy reading what you guys have to say about brewing water. It was good to have met both of you at the AHA conference in Seattle this past June. The 'Water Panel' seminar you guys did with John Palmer, and Colin Kaminski was great. Thanks for all the help and info you share with the brewing community. Colin is giving our homebrew club (Sonoma Beerocrats) a presentation tomorrow on water chemistry. Thanks again

Mediterranean climate, more than 320 days of sun per year, the sea, small charming towns and a lot more... The Costa del Sol cast a spell over you and it has logically converted itself into a key international tourist destination since the middle of the last Century. The Costa del Sol offers luxury and glamour, taking advantage of the frequent presence of film stars since the seventies. Today between 25 and 30% of the large luxury hotels in Spain are found in Marbella and its surroundings, not to mention the first class golf courses. A luxurious and international character which contrasts the typical small Andalusia villages such as Ronda and Mijas, with narrow streets and white-washed houses adorned with flowers.
The Costa del Sol is located in the province of Malaga, in the south of the Mediterranean coast, between the provinces of Granada and Cadiz, and bordering the provinces of Cordoba and Seville in the north.
The changeful history of the Costa del Sol has taken place between the mountains and the sea. Due to its climate and spectacular landscape a number of different races, such as the Phoenicians, Romans, Goths and the moors settled down at the Costa del Sol. Especially the moors characterized a number of Andalusia cities, such as Malaga with their architecture.
In the second half of the 20th century, Costa del Sol became more and more popular as tourist destination for tourists from all over the world choose the coast to relax on its sun-drenched beaches, discover its rich architectural heritage or explore the wild beauty of its mountain geography.
As the name already says, Costa del Sol guarantees a lot of sun throughout the year. Come and enjoy Costa del Sol to the full.
At the heart of the Costa del Sol on Mijas Costa, only a short distance from Marbella and Fuengirola, you will love the charm of this old fishing pueblo. Unspoiled by mass tourism with golden sandy beaches and every sporting activity you can bring to mind. We are just a 5 minute stroll away.
And even nearer (2 minutes walk) we have a bank, some restaurants and a large bi-weekly local market that the locals attend from miles around.
A car is by no means essential.

Legislative notebook: New gun bill would do less than earlier bills
ST. PAUL -- The author of a new gun bill says she wrote it as a compromise, but those who already have related bills are not buying it.
Rep. Debra Hilstrom, DFL-Brooklyn Center, on Wednesday announced a bill that falls short of what the Legislature's judiciary chairmen plan to discuss in committees next week. Hilstrom said she has no promise that her bill will be discussed in a committee.

'Asphalt Overdrive' now available on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone
Gameloft has released its newest game in the Asphalt series, called the Asphalt Overdrive. Overdrive is a spinoff of the successful Asphalt series. This isn't exactly Asphalt 9 that you may have been waiting for and features a different gameplay mechanic.
Asphalt Overdrive is essentially like an endless runner game but with cars. You drive a car (which runs automatically) and dodge obstacles in your path by swiping left or right. You jump off ramps and pull stunts in the air. You ram traffic on the side and when you earn enough nitro boost by doing all this you use it to evade the cops. Read more »

I shoot manily bullseye muzzleloading pistols. Been shooting at the Nationals for 17 years. Just wondering if there are anymore out there like me? Here are some of the pistols I use.
Here is a example of what accurate black powder pistols can do . Good shooting can be had. This is 10 shots at 25 yds.
Very nice shooting. Very nice pistols. Too bad only one flintlock. My daddy taught me not to play with anything that had only one nipple.
My old friend Ray Morgan fired more than a few rounds down range with a BP pistol. He passed away a few years ago and is still missed at the Friendship matches.
Hello Frizzen! I try to shoot bullseyes but can't always achive it. I'm better at missing bullseyes. Now snuffing candles??? See you over at ALR.
I noticed that this post is a couple of months old but yes I am one of those that shoot BP pistols and revolvers. I have only been at the nationals for two years, but enjoying ever minute of it.
BP at CASS at least twice a year. its hard to get 3 others to share the fun never thought of bullseye. i guess cause we can't do BP inside i notice you are consistent with your choice of grips. herrrett's, yes?
Nice looking pistols. Just curious as to what calibers they are. I have a back order in for a .32 barrel which I would use for my own inline pistol if they become available. I currently have a 12" 1858 Remmy and a .50 Plains pistol. Stew
Interesting guns! What is the thinking behind the reversed lock on the flintlock? And why is it on the left instead of the right. I would think you would want the pan flash be directed away from your face. (Or is it for a left handed shooter?)
Just curious if there is a barrel length restriction on this class of competition at the nationals. Was thinking of building one with a "12 barrel. Stew
No restriction on barrel length, unless it can touch the target from where you shoot. Here is the link for NMLRA rules, see sections 6000-6410. http://www.nmlra.org/press.asp?Media=News&NewsID=93
Slower, much, much slower. I read somewhere that a well trained British Company of the Napoleonic Wars could get off 3 or4 volleys a minute, so maybe rapid fire stage could be something like 5 shots in 2 minutes?

During the month of February, the children at the Lincoln Hills Development Corp. Perry County Head Start Home Base enjoyed activities centered science.
An activity from the socialization included a sinks or floats science experiment and children were able to use scientific inquiry to predict whether items would sink or float. Ben Eberle, left, Kenzie Litherland, center, and Madisyn Kellems, right, test items to see if they will sink or float in a science experiment. For information about Perry County Head Start, contact Kelly Vogt or Shanna Hays at 547-9457.
Families at William Tell Elementary enjoyed the family health and book fairs held April 3. Many booths and vendors were set up and those attending got to explore an Air Evac helicopter and ask the pilots questions.
Pictured below is pilot Mike Armstrong and his daughters Emma, a third grader, and Anna, a kindergartner, at William Tell. Also pictured is fifth grader Jonathan Seger was the lucky winner of a color Nook given away as part of the fairs.
Students of South Perry Head Start invited their special male role models to visit Hoosier Southern Railroad with them in March.
The children learned about being safe near railroad tracks and were able to climb into the locomotive. They were amazed at the size of the train. The students were also excited to spend the afternoon with some of the special people in their lives, teachers said. For more information about South Perry Head Start, contact Beth Cassidy at 547-9464.
Ginger Conrad stands in her newly dedicated library named Conrad's Corner, which was shown to her as one of her retirement gifts.
Tots Lots Preschool visited Dr. Schoene's Animal Clinic in Cannelton. Schoene gave a tour of his veterinary clinic and showed the children the tools that he uses to take care of animals.
The Captain's Club honored Perry Central students who raised at least one grade during the third-grading period compared to the second-grading period without letting any other grades fall, as well as the students who received straight A's, with a pizza party for lunch last week.
Angela Berg's second-grade class at William Tell Elementary class show off phone books the class has been collecting for Perry-Spencer Communications. The class has collected more than 100 phone books, which will all be recycled.
The students of South Perry Head Start took a field trip to the Nancy Ress Horse Farm in March to learn more about farms. Children learned about the different items used to take care of horses and how they are used on the animals. They were also shown equipment used for horse riding. Pictured above are Savannah Cronin, Josh Temple and Alexander Sanderfur with Nancy Ress brushing one of her horses. For more information on South Perry Head Start, call Yvonna Holmes at 547-8463.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Bottom line, good mouse.I got two of these for my 2 laptops. One laptop runs 32bit Vista Home premium, and the other runs on 32 bit XP Home edition. In summary, both worked flawlessly after a month of usage.I saw the mouse went on sale at Staples for $15 in the Black friday sales ad. I couldn't help it but bought two.Installation was simple. Plug the USB dongle in, and both XP, Vista install the generic mouse driver and you are ready to go. Note, there's no CD included in my package, so I have to download the proprietary drivers from Logitech. The driver was easily located on Logitech website and installed quickly. A minor annoyance here is that Logitech driver installation would take up about 10 meg of RAM. While that's not much, but on a XP Home with 512 Meg, that's not very efficient. You don't need the Logitech driver if you don't plan to play games with it, as the driver gives you more control of the mouse and customization (ie, battery health bar in the mouse, customization of the buttons).After a month of constant usage, I haven't changed the batteries. So I can conclude Logitech has made the mouse more energy efficient. Mouse is like keyboard, you don't appreciate it until it breaks. So far, both mice have not had any problems. I've unplug the USB dongle and then plug it back in, and the mice always function as expected. The mouse is designed for both righties and lefties, so it's not as ergonomic, but good enough for common use. Mouse itself is great, precise for any tasks. However, given that it's designed for both hands, you might not want to use it for extended time period. It works well on smooth, polish surface. My old infrared microsoft mouse needed a mouse pad. The other minor things I hope Logitech could improve are :- the size of the dongle- reduce the packaging size - you can probably stuff 10 mice into the original packaging...Ok, so I am nitpicking. :)Bottom line, for $15 on a wireless laser mouse that work as expected and designed for both hands, you can't go wrong here.

I have 4 dishes pointing 97w, 95w, 87w, 83w and connected to 3 receivers, using two 4x4 multiswitch (Zinwell and Digiwave), three 2x1 Diseqc. Two of my receivers having cable length more than 75ft and having signal issues with some satellites. I'm not sure any non-power switches out there can help my long cable length issue, so I'm looking for power switches design specially for FTA, any recommendations?
Reliable switch control is often caused by coax or connections. 75 - 100 foot runs are not very long if using the right kind of cable. What type of coax (RG6, RG59, RG11, Etc) ? Are all coax runs using the same cable? What type of connections (crimp, compression, screw-on)? Are the LNBFs standard or universal type? Zinwell switches are some of the best. They are much more reliable if using an external power supply. Digiwave switches can be hit and miss on the quality. The 8x1 DiSEqC are great, but not sure about the 2x1. I would recommend trying a different DiSEqC switch such as the Chieta HD.
More questions What kind of receivers? All of them. Have you swapped between receivers? Which satellites/transponders/channels causing troubles? All S2? edit: horizontal or vertical transponders? What kind of LNBFs? All dual output? What do you mean by "signal issues"? .
To add to Anole's post. Often in multi-STB systems there can be compatibility and interaction issues between the receivers resulting in missing transponders and switching errors. Have you tried connecting one STB at a time to determine if the problem exists for one unit or if only problematic when specific STBs are connected? Warming: Multi-STB systems often have voltage interaction between the receivers that can cause damage. Measure for voltage potentials between the coax shield and STB chassis and/or ground. I have been bitten and blown-up a STB in a customer's home because of improper electrical wiring.
Thanks for tips... What type of connections (crimp, compression, screw-on)? Cripm, all RG6 Signal issues - Zero signal all transponders. Are the LNBFs standard or universal type? Standard LNBFs, all dual output Receivers : 2x Micro HD, 1xOpenBox S9 97W - 36" dish (Focus brand LNB) 95W - 31" dish (Focus brand LNB) 87W - 36" dish (Focus brand LNB) 83W - 36" dish (Digiwave brand LNB) Reception signal good for 97w, 95w,87w like above 75Q, 83W is about 65Q, consistant for three receivers (test them individually) when connected without switches. Before I add 83W, I have 4x4 Zinwell, 3x4 Zinwell, no signal issue on all three receivers. Then I added 83W, couldn't get a second 4x4 Zinwell locally, so I decided to try a Digiwave 4x4 switch and Digiwave LNB. Testing on MicroHD - the one has the shortest cable length has no signal issues (got all channels) on all 4 satellites. MicroHD on another room (>75') has issues like - 3 satellites (95w, 87w, 83w) totally no signals, only 95W came in good. I even swap the MicroHDs, still same issue whenever on cable length over 75'. I have tried to play with swapping satellites on switches, port, connection etc, still no help on room that has cable length exceed 75'. One thing is sure if I keep cable length short like less than 25', everything seems to work like a charm. My openbox S9 has the same issue too... I think my Digiwave hardward (switch and LNBs) is questionable. I have ordered new 4x4 Zinwell switch and will test it out. I may even try a reputable brand 4x1 Diseqc, any good suggestions beside Chieta HD. My local stores mostly carry Digiwave stuff, I'll stay away from those. A power switch could be my plan B if things don't work out with new 4x4 Zinwell switch.
4x1 Diseqc most are not well made keep a variety of them about due to this. some Pansats find best the past few years. and find the Chieta's are not what they were a few years back. the best ones are Span sar 411 but like $50>
Somewhere to start If I were going to start somewhere, I think the weakest link is the 2x1 diseqc switch. Some are easily blown up, if changing cables while powered. Power to the 4x4 multiswitches goes through the diseqc, as well as 22khz. There might be three different failure modes in the diseqc switch, any one or more of which could shut you down. Need to see if you are getting proper voltages to BOTH LNBFs on the selected multiswitch. The receiver is powering the diseq, one multiswitch, and two dual output LNBFs, at any given time. Voltage drop in the diseqc could kill you. Edit: continuing on, I see the new 4x4 wasn't compatable. Since you are changing it, that will remove another variable. And while I don't think it's your problem, I'd like to recommend compression connectors, exclusively. There are cheap tools to put them on, and they'll be a lot more secure. .
I always take precaution when handling the switches and Diseqc, power off all my receivers (including unhooked the power cord), follow some good advice from this board. So could be my 2x1 Diseqc not able to handle the load when using that many LNBs. Compression connectors - I have the tools, so can give it a try. If I can find a good 4x1 Diseqc, will give it a try too. I'm thinking the 'EMP-Centauri FTA Switches' like 17x8 or 9x8 given that I have 4 dishes and potential 4 receivers. Anyone has experienced with EMP-Centauri FTA switches or something equivalent?
Several years ago, Pendragon authored a couple of threads on multiswitch mods. While you do not need his mods for your application, his review of the switches was excellent. Think they were 4x8, and 5x8. One was powered (?), and the other could (?) be. Dont have the info in front of me. Think one was a Zinwell, sold for use in DrecTV systems. So, you could occasionally find them in the wild, for free. The one I liked, came with a power supply. Bunch of us modded them for use on ortho feeds. SWA-48? Someone will give brand and links to Pendragon's reviews.
EMP-Centauri are $$ and are not as good as Span $$ imo for your setup would put 4 non powered 3x4 on each dish/lnbf and add 4x1 Diseqc to each Receiver that would work with 4 Receivers good luck ps "Standard LNBFs, all dual output" you would need rg6 from both outputs of all the lnbf's to the 3x4
Pendragon mod/review threads I like this multi-switch better of the two: http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads...x8-Switch-with-All-18V-outputs?highlight=Mods This is the Zinwell story: http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads...x8-Switch-with-Power-Insertion?highlight=Mods choice is yours .
Got my 2nd 4x4 Zinwell multiswitch yesterday, that resolve my signal issue on all my receivers. Stay with Zinwell hardware!

About Epizyme, Inc.Epizyme, Inc. is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company creating personalized therapeutics for patients with genetically defined cancers. Epizyme has built a proprietary product platform that the company uses to create small molecule inhibitors of a 96-member class of enzymes known as histone methyltransferases, or HMTs. HMTs are part of the system of gene regulation, referred to as epigenetics, that controls gene expression. Genetic alterations can result in changes to the activity of HMTs, making them oncogenic (cancer-causing).

PINNACLE Announces 2013 Business Service Management Innovator Award Winners
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 17, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At its annual Users Training Conference in Washington DC, PINNACLE, a Windstream company, announced the winners of the 2013 PINNACLE Business Service Management (BSM) Innovator Awards.
The honor, which recognizes the most impactful improvements derived from using PINNACLE and professional services to manage the lifecycle of telecommunications service support and service delivery operations, was given to five organizations across five categories. This year's winners are: the City of Seattle, Citi, University of British Columbia, United States Postal Service and Oregon Health & Science University.
"These organizations, like many others, are challenged to operate more efficiently and to reduce costs by creatively applying their PINNACLE solutions to achieve innovative ways of addressing these issues," said Larry Foster, PINNACLE's vice president and general manager. "The PINNACLE application provides a centralized management repository of operational and financial data to help organizations gain visibility, efficiency and control. This year's winners have capitalized on these capabilities along with our managed services to make their organizations more effective, reduce errors, improve processes and create sustainable returns on their investment."
PINNACLE recognized winners in five categories:- Compliance Management – City of Seattle: Challenged with providing 24 x 7 support and disaster preparedness, and optimizing recovery time, the City of Seattle employs PINNACLE's centralized database and management features to ensure it meets compliance guidelines through properly identifying critical services, report information and speed recovery with automated PBX programming.
- Self Service and Automation – Citi: To reduce delivery time, manage its global service inventory, enable access for users and ensure operational consistency, Citi leverages PINNACLE to automate lifecycles of provisioning and invoice processing, reporting and integration with other applications to optimize processes and oversee 700,000 services and transactions for 300,000 employees worldwide.
- Green IT Management – University of British Columbia: By focusing on "customer access" and "control" through PINNACLE, the university was able to reduce the consumption of key resources around order processing and billing, resulting in savings of roughly $1 million to date and significant reductions in paper waste.
- Business Intelligence – United States Postal Service (USPS): To effectively manage communications services across 40,000 locations spanning multiple carriers, the USPS uses PINNACLE's invoice management, service desk and system integration features to create universal, centralized data that enables it to analyze rates, gain insight into their locations' usage and reduce their overall telecom expenses.
- Resource Management – Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU): During its transition to a VoIP environment, OHSU leveraged PINNACLE's service, inventory and infrastructure management capabilities to transition data, create a sustainable network inventory and automate processes to prioritize and resolve issues.

Murphy said: "We had him scoped earlier today and the results have just come back.
"It's not good news unfortunately, he's just not quite right. There's nothing we can do about it but you can't run them if they're not right."
The news means that the Jo Hughes-trained Soll, who was 42nd on the list, is now guaranteed a run.

Excellent rooftop restaurant. Recommend including breakfast in your reservation. Near the subway for a 15 minute commute to the Duomo, La Scala, Sforza Castle, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and other downtown sites. Walking distance to 'A Tarantella for great pizza!

Very good
The hotel seems to be quite new. Rooms are modern and nicely designed. Very clean. They give you free bottles of water every day, which is really nice. Also, they leave you chocolates in the evening. In the morning, you can find your country newspaper hanging on the door of your room, which I thought it was quite amazing. They also have shoe cleaning machines on every floor, next to the elevator. I had never seen that before, and found it to be very useful. The breakfast is nice and with many choices. Thanks to all the Nu team, I had a great time!
Breakfast juices were not fresh, and they tasted a bit strange. I would definitely suggest improving on that. Also, the joint between the bath tube and the wall was a bit dark (room 306) and needed some high-temperature cleaning with a steam cleaner machine. I always look at these type of details, sorry :) Basically, the only downside of this hotel is the location, but metro is literally 3 mins away walking, so you can reach the city centre in about 20 mins. If you need to spend more than 2 days in Milan, buy a 48h public transport pass at the metro machines and you won't have any problem. I think this hotel is a great deal. Almost new, cheap and close to the centre. As we say in Spanish.... bueno, bonito y barato!!
The dataff was pretty kind specially Manuela the girl at the front desk
Very nice hotel, very comfortable, hotel staff very helpfull and very friendly, breakfast was delicous!
free WiFi worked great nice breakfast great shower, good bed
rooms are rather small
Staff were incredibly rude and extremely unhelpful. Booked the hotel because it offered free parking - there was no parking available at all. In the morning our car would not start, we went to the staff to ask for any assistance / jump leads / a mechanic nearby - their response 'I don't drive, can't help you'. Checking in we were told we had to pay £70 extra for a reason I'm still yet to understand. All in all, service was diabolical. Avoid this place
Location, cleanliness, comfort, no noise, modern ambience
A little pricey
Nu Hotel is situated a bit outside the center of Milan, but still, very close to a metro station and getting to the center by metro is no problem (you have to change lines once, though - but altogether it shouldn't take more than 15-20 minutes to get to the center). On the way from the hotel to the metro station, some nice restaurants and bars are located. Also, the hotel was very comfortable to reach from the highway. The rooms themselves and the hotel in general are very clean, comfortable and quiet and the furnishings were of high quality. Also, the design was very modern and the staff very friendly and anything you asked them for, they provided you with (e.g. extra blanket for the double room, higher temperature, information on the city...). For breakfast, they also used quality products and offered a good variation (sweet, sushi, fish, ham, salami, cheese, eggs, bacon, cereals, yoghurt...) and the breakfast room (which serves as a restaurant during the day/at night) is located on the top floor, which I can imagine being exceptionally lovely in spring and summer. Since we arrived by car, we looked for hotels with parking spaces and Nu Hotel offers free parking, which is great. Overall, the price was adequate to the service the hotel offers and provides.
Probably the most inconvenient fact was that no room has individual control over the A/C. The temperature was pleasant, but some might prefer a higher temperature. When we called the front desk and asked them to raise the temperature for one room, they did so at once, so this was great service, again. However, the A/C was turned on all night and generally, you could not turn it off, which was quite uncomfortable. Though, in order to turn it off, you could remove your key card and in turn would turn off all the power in the whole room. Another inconvenience is the size of the beds, which are quite small (approx. 160cm for a double and 90cm for a single). However, for the duration of two nights, it was okay and the beds were comfortable. While the breakfast was delicious and the variation as such was plenty, the individual portions were sometimes a bit small and not filled up immediately after a previous guest took the last piece. Furthermore, all cooked dishes were rather cold. The last inconvenience is a minor one, and concerns our arrival by car. The hotel provides free parking spaces but those spaces are in a side street behind the hotel and not, for example, in a garage, which would be inaccessible to the public. You have to get a key at the front desk to unlock the barrier in order to park and we got the last parking space when we arrived. However, at night, several parking spaces were free again, which made us assume that not only hotel guests park there. And if you have a rather new or maybe quite valuable car, you feel a bit uncomfortable to leave it there (especially looking at all the other cars driving around Milan). But again, this is only a very personal inconvenience to our otherwise great stay. Overall, the positives certainly outweigh the negatives and I would stay at Nu Hotel again.
Immaculate Clean. Modern rooms and hotel communal areas. Complete Breakfast with Sushi and Dumplings as well! Great location and very good communicated to the main city attractions as tube is just 200mts away and also to the main roads to Bergamo, Lake Como or Switzerland. Free Parking Friendly staff
Room temperature ( air con) cannot be regulated or switched off from the room and sometimes got really hot at night and a bit noisy because of the air con but luckily windows could be opened which was a relive! Breakfast hours are from 6.30am to 10am, including weekends and bank holidays. It was really hard to get up at 9am on the 1st Jan after a late New Year's Eve out in Milano! I would suggest to extend the Bfast time for at least one hour on weekends and bank Holidays...
Almost Everything
The fact that the first day of the year the hotel's restaurant was closed and it wasn't that easy that day to find something decent to eat in Milan.
Love the location - close to Udine metro, grocery store,bank and restaurants. The room is very clean and well appointed. Friendly staff. Good breakfast spread.
No English instructions on how to use the phone and TV (subtitles).
nice breakfast with a view on top floor is a real plus
no direct access to room floors by elevator ; poor choice of TV channels ; curtains not opening so no day ligth
Nu Hotel was very clean, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The rooms were modern and interesting. It is near to a convenient metro station.
Poor cancellation policies: be aware of this before you book! Through no fault of our own, our flight was delayed by 24-hours. We were alerted of this 6 days in advance, so I contacted both Booking.com and the hotel to see if we could change our arrival date by one day and cancel one of our two booked days. Nu Hotel refused, and eventually said that they would make this change for a fee that was DOUBLE the cost of 2 nights at the hotel. So, to change our reservation to one night they wanted to charge us for four nights total. Completely insane. Of course we decided to just leave the reservation as it was and pay for the day we weren't able to be there - but then the front desk said that we may be charged a no-show fee equivalent to 1 additional night for not checking in on the day we originally said we would arrive. They eventually said they wouldn't do this and we could show up on our second booked day at no additional cost. The whole ordeal was extremely frustrating and I will not stay here again. I stay at a lot of hotels and I have never encountered one so inflexible, especially when the change is due to a problem with a flight. So - be aware, if there is any change to your arrival day you could be in for significant extra charges. No temperature control in rooms: our room was stifling hot but there was no air conditioning. We had to leave the window open, which meant loud street noise all night and mosquitos getting in the room. Bad wifi connection: their wifi connection kicks you off every 20 minutes or so, and then you have to re-log in by entering a lot of hard to remember account info. Very annoying. No room service and a restaurant with extremely limited hours/seating availability.
Location when travelling with the car
I woul prefer less "design" things, but more of comfort, more clean bathroom facilities and internet without need to re-connect.
Cute room, comfortable bed Nice shower Location near metro Breakfast was pretty good, they served mini pancakes (yay!) and fruit, yoghurt, eggs/bacon (plus: fresh orange juice at a small extra cost)
In Milan for a quick business trip, the hotel is not in the centre of Milan which can be reached in 15 minutes on the Metro, but as a result offers great value for money. We were served quickly on arrival, the deluxe room was large, comfortable and the spacious bathroom was stocked with toiletries. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The dining room on the top floor was light and airy - we only used it for breakfast which was excellent with a wide choice and excellent food. We would like to go back to visit Milan for a weekend break and we will definitely use this hotel again.
One lift needs to have a room key swiped to operate but this was not mentioned by the staff - but once learned was not a problem. The room book did not make it clear how to access the Sky TV, but a call to reception quickly sorted this
High quality services (like internet on TV) & top floor breakfast.
Small room
pretty much everything was fine... people are very nice and helpful
Room is not so big, but ok. My friend had a room with noisy air conditioning that staff couldn't solve.
Very well organized modern hotel, near the public transport sysyem and excellent breakfast, rooms well set up, new and clean.
The building was easy to spot, the staff spoke English well and always did their best to try accommodate any requests even if it required a quick google translate search. The room was good, bathroom clean and everything placed neatly. Breakfast was very good, wide selection, fresh, and in enjoyable setting. All the staff I encountered were friendly and helpful.
When checking in there was some information that was missing; wifi code, the fact that breakfast was on level 6, the staff member forgot to do the registration form. Simple things to rectify though.
The room was rather small, but more than adequate, well arranged and appointed. The staff were eager to help locate car rental, restaurant, etc. The breakfast was especially good served on the roof-top terrace.
Nothing. It was all good from start to finish.
Professional and friendly staff, great breakfast, good WI-FI connection, close to subway station
Bed is relatively small, bathroom did not have any ventilator (at least I have not seen one), no parking

Your spoiler image died :c
Ender's Game is about a genius kid (he starts out at age six but he's incredibly mature) who gets sent to a "Battle School" in space, where they're basically trying to train generals and soldiers to fight the "Buggers", an insectoid alien species that could very well wipe out mankind. I quite enjoyed it, and I read "Ender's Shadow" too (a spinoff that's also good), and now I'm reading "Speaker for the Dead", the sequel to Ender's Game.

Sounds terrible. I'll look into it if I get the chance.
