Although Amsterdam might not be the area for the best cheap hotels, there are several affordable places to service the requirements of holiday vacationers and business travelers alike. Budget hotels in Amsterdam don't come off as too apparent and favorable, thinking about their bigger counterparts are abundantly covered with more luxurious establishments. The majority of populace also would rather receive acceptable holiday service hence their readiness to spend bigger financial allocation for that travel budget. In addition, budget hotels' rooms are less spacious with a few sporting steep stairs to challenge the less mobile.
One of many budget hotels in Amsterdam, Hotel plusieurs Arts is among the earliest townhouses. It's not outfitted with any lifts but have as many as 18 rooms with a few overlooking the town center. This hotel is managed with a family as well as their hospitality has offered to become pleasing to patrons of the establishment. Its location within the busy speck from the old center is just within ten minutes very close to the Central Station.
Then there's the Bicycle Hotel – a really amusing yet affordable hotel. The name explains its functionality, without further discomfort, combined with the bicycle rental service for customers' brief search for the downtown area. Getting only 16 rooms, a few of the cheaper rooms share shower and toilet facilities within the primary hall consistent with its under lower market rates. Despite as being a budget hotel, Bicycle Hotel maintains an affluent hospitality because of its clients rather than neglects balance appreciated few cleanliness and hygiene.
There are more bigger budget hotels in Amsterdam. The Eden Hotel, with as much as 218 rooms, is really a three star hotel situated in a proper location of Amstel River. Though and not the easiest hotel for travelers, vacationers are drawn to the costs in addition to worthy service value. It's a rather popular low-cost hotel that is fully air-conditioned having a recently renovated lobby of contemporary designs.
By integrating three houses, Bellevue Hotel plays location of 76 rooms. Its location is nearly facing the Central Station despite not situated exactly in the Sore Point District. Her most costly hotel fee among other budget hotels however the comfort and charm is certainly well worth the additional cost, specifically for customers targeting good comfort at average prices. Bellevue Hotel displays a fundamental interior with modern furniture, complemented with elegant architectural designs and ambient lighting.
In case, you were searching for the best budget hotel, you would be spoilt for choice. However, you should choose the one that would provide to your specific needs in the right manner. They should offer you comfort and style suitable to your needs.

The PYBC runs a variety of keelboat racing throughout the year and all races are open to members of any yacht club. PYBC has a stable fleet of keen racers that enjoy the competitive racing that the club offers.
Yacht Racing – Program
The Summer Season kicks off after the Labour Day weekend with our opening day race which is always a fantastic way to say goodbye to winter.
Over the summer months we run a weekly Twilight series every Thursday night which is a great for breaking up the work week with some very close quarters river racing. The club also includes harbour and destination races throughout the season for some open water competitive racing. When the summer series comes to a close and the days get shorter our winter series gets underway, this series rakes in great numbers as the close river races run every second Sunday afternoon making sure that the sailors keep an acceptable amount of salt in their veins through the winter months.

Tina Pitoors' sculptures and objects arise from her own perception and examine the utopia of a malleable world, a reflection on landscape as a metaphor for a condition humaine. The landscape is presented as a plane for the projection of desires and clichés. Its surface is frayed, cut up and glued back together again in a renewed scenery that blurs boundaries between inside and out. This condition implies a constant pushing along, a contortion of form and movement.
By combining recognizable, everyday forms and materials with my own constructions, a new and unique language of form is created. Sculptures and installations function like neologisms: they are grafted onto situations we know, but exist in and create a parallel sculptural reality.

17th Century Flea
From the great historical archives of the Chemical Heritage Foundation: antique editions of Robert Hooke's Micrographia (1665) and van Leeuwenhoek's Arcana naturae (1695), laid open to immaculately detailed illustrations of fleas.
Hooke's book is famous for being the place that the term "cell" was coined - Hooke, studying the cells of plants, was reminded of the prison-cell-like quarters that a Monk sleeps in.

There are people in the #choking victim tag complaining that Lana Del Rey hijacked the #born to die tag. I was in the #choking victim tag, as I often am, looking for "Suicide" but this makes as much sense as anything. It is, after all, my favorite Choking Victim song and uuuuuugh I hate my life so much.
Your hate is like jeweled flowers to me and it tastes like love. Also I would like Emily to take over the choking tag and post bad comic dude videos.

Nokia, the world's top cellphone maker, reported a 57 percent rise in earnings per share in the October-to-December quarter, with booming demand in emerging markets boosting its global market share to 40 percent.
Nokia's fourth-quarter earnings per share, minus one-off items, rose to 0.47 euros, helped by buoyant demand for cheap phones in emerging Asian markets, and beating the average forecast of 0.44 euros in a Reuters poll of 34 analysts.
Shares in Nokia ended 13.4 percent higher.
"These are fantastic numbers, I must say," said analyst Thomas Langer from WestLB. "I think we see a lot of green lights for Nokia."
Nokia sold 133.5 million phones in the quarter, more than its three closest rivals combined, and beating analysts' average forecast of 130.7 million phones in the poll.
The Finnish company has a strong lead in emerging markets including China and India, which it has been fiercely defending.
Nokia's multimedia unit, which sells advanced phones aimed at consumers in the developed world, more than doubled its operating profit from a year ago to 670 million euros, helped by Apple's foray into the cellphone business with its iPhone.
"iPhone raised consumer awareness of those kinds of devices, and Nokia benefited as a result," said analyst Geoff Blaber at CCS Insight.
Helped by Motorola Woes
Nokia and other large vendors increased their market share in the quarter at the expense of struggling Motorola , which said on Wednesday it would post an operating loss in the current quarter as recovery in its cell-phone business was taking longer than expected.
"Again we see a testament (that) whatever Motorola is losing, Nokia is gaining. And that trend was true throughout 2007, and the question is whether it will continue through 2008.
If it will, we need to upgrade numbers," said analyst David Hallden, CAI Cheuvreux.
Nokia said it expected its market share to stay at the 40 percent level in the first quarter, but it is targeting market share growth in 2008.
Nokia said the average price of phones sold rose by 1 euro from the previous quarter to 83 euros, beating analysts' average expectation of 82 euros.
Helped by its larger scale, Nokia boasts much stronger profit margins than its rivals; the operating profit margin from its three cellphone business units rose to 23.8 percent.
Its closest rivals in terms of profitability, Sony Ericsson and Samsung, reported profit margins of 13 percent and 11.4 percent, respectively.
Nokia Siemens Networks, a 50:50 network equipment venture between Nokia and Germany's Siemens, said its underlying operating profit rose to 4.3 percent of sales from 3 percent in the previous quarter.
Nokia repeated it expected the market for network equipment would grow only slightly in 2008.

Pet herbals
Stinky Pet spray
This can be sprayed on your animal or it's bedding to freshen between washes.
2 oz. spray bottle
10 drops lavender e.o.
10 drops geranium e.o.
6 drops lemon e.o.
Fill the bottle with water leaving enough room for the eo's. Shake the bottle well to disperse the eo's. Spray directly onto your dog, avoiding the eyes and head.. Keep the bottle about 10 inches from the dog. Shake well before each use.
Here are some herbal remedies for common problems:
A strong tea of eyebright, used as a wash, is perfect for irritated eyes on all pets. Also administer orally to boost the internal mechanisms to fight infection from the inside. Alternatively, you can make a saline solution. Dissolve 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt in 1/2 cup boiling water. Add 1 drop of goldenseal extract to 1 tablespoon of the saline solution, once cooled, when you are going to use it....it shrinks swollen tissues and disinfects.
The common cause of itching is due to fleas and flea bites - some animals are actually allergic to the flea bites, compounding the problem. Brewer's yeast is often recommended, 1 teaspoon or tablet per day, as a deterrent. A word of caution here - some animals are allergic to the brewer's yeast, or react to it with dry patches of skin that itch just as bad as the fleas do. If you use brewer's yeast, keep an eye out for these sorts of skin problems to develop, and discontinue the brewer's yeast if necessary as soon as one of these symptoms appear. A good remedy for those dry itchy skin patches is tea tree oil, rubbed over the patch. The bitter taste will discourage the animal from digging at his skin, and the oil works well to heal the dryness. Do not use it near the eyes or genitals, however. Aloe is also good for those dry patches. Another method is to put a slice of raw cucumber over the "hot" spot, holding it there for a few minutes, and then rub aloe or tea tree oil over the area.
The shampoo you use, or the flea collar you use, may actually be causing the itching. Bathe the animal in an all natural shampoo, preferably something that has aloe in it, and find an alternative to that flea collar!! Would you wear chemicals around your neck? Neither should they!
You can make an herbal dip for your pet as follows: 2 cups packed fresh peppermint, pennyroyal, or rosemary; 1 quart boiling water; 4 quarts warm water - - Prepare an infusion by pouring the boiling water over the herbs and allow it to steep for 30 minutes. Strain the liquid and dilute it with the warm water. Saturate the animal's coat thoroughly with the solution, allowing it to air dry. Use at the first sign of flea activity. This remedy will need to be repeated ever three to four days, but it is totally safe.
If the itching persists, and fleas or poor diet are not the culprit, use a mixture of Licorice Root, Dandelion Root, and Cat's Claw in equal drops of each tincture for two weeks. The licorice is a natural cortisone, and will help to jumpstart the immune system.
To get rid of fleas in your carpet, after removing pets from the room, sprinkle Borax over the carpet and rub it in. Wait a while, then vacuum as usual. This is a safe, non-chemical method of flea control. Reapply the Borax once a week until the problem is gone.
Fresh aloe is an excellent application for those strange cuts and scrapes we can never figure out how our pet got. It is a natural antiseptic, and will keep the area moist until the cut can heal. Alternatively, you can clean the wound with a wash of goldenseal, and apply aloe or other herbal treatments that are your favorites.
First you must lance the abscess. I mix a benadine solution with water until it looks like tea, and then fill an eyedropper with the solution and squirt it into the hole. Do this several times per day, at least three. The important thing is to clip the fur away from the abscess and don't cover it with any bandage, or it can't drain properly. It has to heal from the inside out. If it is extremely deep, you may need a vet to put a drain in it. I also begin to administer antibiotic herbs orally, to help fight any infection that may occur. Another course of action is to use chamomile in the wound to prevent infection. I have had a lot of success with these methods, which my vet recommends. However, I also know that if it doesn't begin to clear up within a week, I need professional help to combat the infection.
Does your pet get carsick when you take him for trips? Try giving a few drops of ginger root extract prior to the trip to settle his tummy. If it is a long trip, you may want to administer the ginger again halfway through the trip.
Give a tincture of equal drops of Echinacea and goldenseal. If the illness persists after two weeks, try a combination of different herbal antibiotics after careful diagnosis by your vet. If the animal recovers quickly, continue giving the herbs for a few days after, to aid in healing completely.
I generally give a capsule of garlic oil in the food once per week. It helps keep the biting insect critters away, and helps keep the immune system healthy.
When a pet is dehydrated, due to illness or injury, you can give them Pedialite, available in the baby food section of any grocery store. Alternatively, you can substitute Gatorade. However, the sugar content in Gatorade is rather high, which is not good for long term use with our pets. If using it, cut it in half with plain water. There are also powdered electrolyte solutions available in most feed stores that work just as well, and are less expensive. Electrolyte solutions given in place of water for the first 24 hours will also help new pets that were shipped to deal with the stress of shipping. This is especially important with reptiles, amphibians, and birds of all types.
If your pet is suffering from ulcers, give him two drops each of Calendula, Comfrey, Knotgrass, and Nettle twice per day. Couple this with a bland, easy to digest diet until the ulcer has healed.
Anxiety, Stress:
When your pet suffers from stress or anxiety, try a combination of the extracts of Oats, Valerian, and Chamomile. Rub a little lavender oil near the animal's muzzle, or place some on a cotton pad in the pet's bed or in his sleeping area. And remember that if you are stressed, the animal will be too, so sniff a little of that calming lavender for yourself as well.
To raise an orphan, first find some goat milk - the fresher the better - to use as the replacement for mother's milk. Goat milk is high in butterfat content, and is infinitely better to use than those powdered replacements found in stores, and miles ahead of cow's milk. This applies for human babies, as well. Many a colicky baby has had their stomach soothed with goat milk.....and goat milk is usually easily used by those considered lactose-intolerant. Goat milk can be found in your health food store, and often in your grocery store, but the very best source is of course directly from the goat. Find a dairy goat farmer in your area. The prices will be better, too! We have raised everything from puppies and kittens to colts and calves on goat's milk, and have observed or experienced none of the weight-gain problems or vitamin deficiency or immune deficiencies that occur often when using substitutes. Remember to feed the milk warmed. For puppies and kittens, it is often helpful to rub the face and anal area with a warm swab, to stimulate their system, much as the mother does after the baby feeds from her. Once per day, add a little spirulina (powdered) to the milk. It boosts the immune system, so needed in orphaned babies, and provides many necessary vitamins and nutrients.
Raspberry leaf administered daily throughout a pet's pregnancy (mammals) will help tone the uterus and aid in the healing of the uterus after birth, as well as help to stimulate milk production in the mammaries.
Diarrhea, vomiting:
Powdered slippery elm bark is useful for treating diarrhea, vomiting, and sensitive stomachs for pets.
Shiny Coats:
One teaspoon (less for very small animals, such as ferrets) of cod liver oil dribbled over the pet's food once or twice per week will give a thick, shiny coat, as well as provide many nutrients needed by your pet's body.
Bee Pollen:
1/4 teaspoon for every 15 pounds of animal, given two to three times weekly, helps to slow the aging process. It will also restore hormone balances, regulate the digestive tract, and calm the symptoms of common allergies. Give bee pollen daily during times of stress, illness, or disease to give a boost to the body.
Vitamin C:
Giving 1000 mg to 2000 mg per day for three months to puppies from large breeds can help prevent hip dysphasia. Give 500 mg to 1000 mg daily to ease arthritis in dogs and cats. 500 mg each day can prevent urinary tract symptoms and problems for cats.
Do not give white willow to cats or kittens. Many felines are allergic to salycin, the active ingredient in both white willow and the drug that is derived from it, aspirin. Substitute meadowsweet as a pain reliever instead.

Original Sweet Pineapple BBQ Sauce
From Anonymous of Durham, North Carolina on 6/20/2019.
I simply love this BBQ sauce. It goes good with everything. I first purchased at the local Kroger Store; however, Kroger pulled all of its' stores out of North Carolina. I am going to order some online, but is there any way to get in any of the local stores? Harris Teeter stores are owned by the Kroger parent company, but they do not carry the same brands. It is grilling time in the sunny South and I sure would love to be able to pick up some locally.

My wife and I host a Luau each summer. She decided to try making baked beans using the Original Sweet Pineapple BBQ Sauce. We decided to try out her idea before the luau and the dish was a great success. The on-line ordering was easy and the shipment time was very quick. Great product and great service
Sweet and Delicious
From Karen Feldberg of Skokie, Illinois on 6/19/2018.
This product was a perfect compliment to our grilled chicken breasts. The sauce is delicious, without being too sweet, and without being spicy. I cannot digest spicy anything.A very nice addition to our pantry.
Pineapple Smoking Good
From ROBERT WILLIAMS of Sedona, Arizona on 6/19/2018.

Its got just the right kick of spice and the sweet from pineapple its to dies for!! The perfect sweet mild spice bbq sauce .Perfection!!
Always Keep "On Hand"
From Joe Gutierrez of Hendersonville, North Carolina on 3/26/2018.
Simply outstanding. Always use "Kings Hawaiian" breads and now these BBQ sauces are a "must have". Unfortunately, Walmart stopped carrying these sauces and I resorted to ordering it direct from King's Hawaiian. At least, we know where we can continue getting our supply. OUTSTANDING.
Excellent on everything!

Hands down the best BBQ sauce we've ever tasted. Nothing compares and we are hooked!

This sauce is good on ribs, chicken, pork chops you name it. Will definitely be buying it again
Very 'ono
From Libby of Springfield, Virginia on 12/25/2017.
This BBQ sauce is very tasty. Not too sweet, with a nice tang from the pineapple. I would give it 5 stars if I could get it at a store near me instead of having to order online. As always, you can't go wrong with King's Hawaiian!
Love it!
From Anonymous of Big Bear Lake, California on 12/24/2017.
I love the BBQ sauce. I was hoping that they would carry it in the stores.
Barbeque Made Delicious!
From Linda Cunningham of Hixson, Tennessee on 12/21/2017.
If you like really great barbeque sauces, all of the King's Hawaiian are beyond wonderful. The sweet pineapple makes plain chicken taste like a gourmet chef just stepped into your kitchen! So if you want to have sauces for all meats like pork or beef, you need to try the King's Hawaiian one with bacon, too. It's a family favorite. Cook simple, taste like it's hours of prep, just because you used King's Hawaiian!

I had my diet modified due to health issues. In this new diet I can not have high fructose syrup or wheat. I got this BBQ sauce because it does not have either. I fell in love with the GREAT taste. It has a sweet taste that jumps out at you, with the perfect level of tang also.

This is great on salmon. The salmon has a taste that this BBQ sauce loves to tame and rebuild. It makes a plain piece of salmon a mouth watering meal!

Very nice
From Amy Finney of Houston, Texas on 7/19/2016.
This is a very nice, basic, sweet bbq sauce. I plan to combine it with the lava sauce or bacon bbq sauce to give it more interest.
Fantastic Original Sauce
From Greg of Pasadena, Maryland on 7/12/2016.
The sauce is fantastic and the company is even better! We tried this sauce at the DC barbecue a couple weeks ago and my 16 year old daughter ate a BRAT !!!%^$^#!!! What? :-) She doesn't always try new foods but the Brat on Kings Hawaiian rolls with this sauce was spectacular! The nice card that came with the order was a personal touch that is lost in our country lately - HIGHLY Recommend!

great flavor
From Anonymous of Newport Beach, California on 7/4/2016.
I bought this in hopes that it was slightly sweet since my favorite bread is their Hawaiian Rolls (which are quite tasty with just a hint of sweetness). I love it! It's slightly smoky, the pineapple is there but it doesn't overwhelm the sauce. I was looking for a BBQ sauce I could use for a lot of different foods and this is it!
Must purchase more of these!!!
From Jim Novak of Massapequa , New York on 6/30/2016.
I purchased 2 bottles of EACH...Original BBQ.....Kona Coffee BBQ ....Smoked Bacon BBQ; BUT only opened this Original Sweet Pineapple one tonight! Absolutely delicious; even poured some on the green beans with almonds!! I gotta believe the other 2 flavors are going to be a huge hit also!!

It looks set to be one of the most open championships for many years, with none of the recent World Champions attending. European Champions Andy SMITH and James MELDRUM and GBR National Champions Kevin HOPE & Rob GARDNER head a strong British team. Representing Ireland will be the Irish National Champion and GBR Open Champion Shane MCCARTHY.
From the Czech Republic there will be Tomas MUSIL, who is currently doing a 470 Olympic campaign. France have a very strong team this year with Franc JUIN who finished fifth in the 2003 Worlds and the always popular pairing of Frederic MOUCHES and Jean-Francois NOUEL (a.k.a. Cantona). The brothers of Eric and Ruedi MOSER will be heading up the Swiss challenge along with Kurt VENHODA and Sonja ZAUGG who finished seventh in the 2003 World Championship. There are also entries from Germany, Canada and Japan.
The big unknown are the Australians. Having not been at the last couple of World Championships the question is who's going fast from down under? Rumours have been heard that Brett YOUNG and Alan BLENKLE are aiming to win on home territory and then there's the challenge from the ever-consistent Chris and Heather PAYNE. Ben SCHULZ and his Australian crew, Adam PARKER are aiming for a place in the top ten and Robin INNS and Philip BOWEY are setting their sights on the top five. They've got some real unknowns too, fast crews from other fleets who've joined the Fireballs for a crack at the title - Gregg ALLISON and his crew from Australian Sharpies and juniors, Shane and Andrew HUGHES from the 470 Development Squad.
So, it sounds like there could be a real battle on for the title, but they couldn't have a better location to fight it out! The club is located on the seafront at the recently developed boat harbour at West Beach, only 3 miles from Adelaide Airport and 6 miles from the city of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. Adelaide is situated on the shores of Gulf St Vincent, which is renowned for its long sandy beaches, safe waters and ideal sailing conditions.
The pre worlds incorporating the Australian Championships will be held from the 29th to the 31st December 2003. The 2004 International Fireball World Championships will be run from the Sat 3rd January to Friday 9th January 2004. The lay day on the 6th January is reserved for sightseeing, winery visits or just relaxing.

If one were, (theoretically) trying to put together a very basic PC which would be able to stream videos and blog, would any of the following be adequate: NVIDIA's JetsonNANO, the ODROID, Raspberry Pi4 or Bananna Pi ?
Which would be better? The NVIDIA machine is twice the cost and has better stats, but I gather it doesn't have the hobbyist support...which is important for someone who's been using the black box sorcery of Apple products for years.

I've never gotten fullscreen video to work on a Pi-grade system, so I wouldn't recommend it for streaming.

If you're not afraid to DIY and you can afford to do it, a Ryzen 2200G system on a B350 or even A320 motherboard, would be a great system for that. Especially if you've got (say) a Micro Center nearby, because you could get a huge combo discount, and they have these dirt-cheap Inland-branded SSDs that are still much better than a hard drive.
Posted by: Rick C at Wednesday, July 10 2019 10:18 AM (Iwkd4)
A budget PC build would be faster, but I'm not sure if you could even come close to the price of the Pi 4. Maybe a sale on an Atom-based notebook. (If you go down that route, get 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. 2GB and 32GB both quickly become unusable because of Windows.)

I picked up an almost complete (no monitor) 3.6 GHz 4th Gen i5 computer for less than $120 last December, though I have upgraded it to be my gaming PC with a graphics card, SSD, and more memory.

Also, the crummy PSU coupled with goofy current limits probably set in the BIOS but unchangeable means that if you do anything really CPU-intensive like transcode video, the CPU speed drops drastically. Like, slightly below the base clock.
Meanwhile, you can get an Asrock Deskmini A300W for $150, then drop in a Ryzen 2200G with integrated video that blows Intel's iGPU out of the water for $100 ($80 if you have a Micro Center nearby), and then a 512GB Inland M.2 SSD for $50 and 8GB of laptop RAM for $40, totaling about $350 if you run Linux. (You could do the Intel version of the same box (the A310W) and a 6-core i5-9400 for about $70 more, if you prefer Team Blue.)
Neither one of those would be great for gaming, but for Office/web browsing/blogging/watching YouTube? Oh yeah.

Launch Pad: Ford EcoSport
Today's launch is for the Ford EcoSport – which, to the amusement of just about everybody in the press conference last night, is apparently pronounced EchoSport.
However you want to say it, the EcoSport is a small, Fiesta-based lifestyle SUV, very much in the mould of Nissan Juke. If somewhat less ugly.
We get the keys in about three-quarters of an hour (as I write this), but there are a number of observations already to be made.
The first point of interest is that although the EcoSport is now being sold as a 'One Ford' global car, it was never designed that way. This is a Brazilian-market follow-up to a first-generation EcoSport, and like that car the new one was designed and built in Brazil. One Ford has, however, allowed it to be 'quickly' (it's taken two years) adopted by other markets, and it is now also built in China and India – the latter being where the UK and European cars will come from.
Second. It is not, by any means, a premium product. Although we're only getting it in a single, highfalutin Titanium (with optional X Pack) specification initially, this reflects a low volume of supply for 2014. The UK will receive just 4,000 units next year, and since the vast majority don't start arriving until May, you may want to get your order in quickly.
Before you do that, though, you should consider that this is a 'modern' Ford that has only received a four-star Euro NCAP rating. Hmmm.
We've also already been told the cars we're driving today have very much pre-production fixtures and fittings. But even the static car in the hotel lobby (pictured), which is supposedly closer to showroom in terms of its interior finishing, leaves a lot to be desired. It's roomy, but the boot lid is a side-opening affair that's quickly going to become a major PITA in car parks, is hinged on the wrong side to be safely opened by the roadside in the UK, and has a sharply-angled inside top edge that looks like it might decapitate you if the wind gets up a bit.
As for the boot-mounted spare wheel – when was the last time you saw anything like that on a new car? Ford's spinning it as a strong SUV styling cue. Which is true, but only if you're living in the 1990s.
Why the wheel isn't under the boot floor, I haven't asked yet. But the alarmingly exposed-looking fuel tank filler pipe appears to be in the way. And in countries such as Brazil, India, China where the road network can be cutting edge at one moment and barely there the next (I've been to two out of the three recently; I'm not just saying that), I guess having easy-access to a replacement wheel and tyre is no bad thing. And at least Which? / Daily Wail readers will have no reason to complain about the lack of a full-sized spare.
Further indications of this car's budget origins include the rear drum brakes and that the only six-speed gearbox on offer is Ford's Powershift automatic; it's five-speed manual units otherwise. The engine of choice will almost certainly be the 125hp 1.0-litre EcoBoost triple; the alternatives are a less-powerful 1.5-litre non-turbo petrol and 1.5-litre turbodiesel – both downsized derivatives of existing 1.6-litre Ford engines (1.5-litres is a vital cut-off point for taxation in many countries globally).
Cleverly Ford is offering two no-cost colours, a white and a Bright Yellow – so the EcoSport should be easy to spot when it begins to appear on the roads in the UK. The first cars – arriving in April – will all be black, however; a limited edition of 120 sold via Facebook earlier in 2013. No, seriously. It really was.
As this suggests, Ford is aiming for a youthful, tech-orientated buyer profile, and the EcoSport is the first European Ford to feature Ford Sync with Applink, giving you full control of Spotify and other useful smartphone capabilities via the car's voice control system. Sadly, although we were given a demo in the press conference, Applink isn't yet up and running for us to try in the cars. Still, Ford's got nearly another half year to get it working before the market launch.
I know, I know – it sounds like I'm being a total downer on a car I haven't even driven yet. But the signs are there. Including the choice of a very flash hotel in Barcelona, hosting a large, mixed group of 40 journalists. Distracting us from the car, chaps? I really do hope not.
25 minutes now, and I'll be finding out.

Minneapolis-based rock group the Fontanelles is no stranger to the vibrant Duluth music scene. In addition to frequent Twin Ports appearances, singer/songwriter Dave Mehling hails from the city on the hill and continues to join other local artists at a variety of venues. He describes the band's show as "high energy … with songs in a wide variety of rock stylings."

The term COM object is frequently thrown around, but people really access interfaces off of objects. The objects themselves are hidden. Managed is quite a bit different since interfaces are part of the system, but people can also access objects directly. When COM objects are accessed from managed, they are wrapped by a managed object called a runtime callable wrapper (RCW). The type of this runtime callable wrapper is either System.__ComObject or a strongly typed derived type as discussed here.
Instead of dealing with objects at an interface level, the CLR attempts to map back to the actual COM object being wrapped. We rely on a fundamental principle of COM that if you are given two interface pointers and QueryInterface() each of them explicitly for IID_IUnknown, they are required to give back an identical value if they in fact refer to the same object. This is basically the canonical IUnknown for a COM object and creates the basis of identity in COM.
In managed, we have a per app domain (please see any CLR reference for a definition of app domain) cache mapping canonical IUnknowns back to RCWs. When an IUnknown enters the system (through a marshal call, through activation, as a return parameter from a method call, etc.), we check the cache to see if an RCW already exists for the COM object. If a mapping exists, a reference to the existing RCW is returned. Otherwise a new RCW is created and a cache mapping is added.
Many people don't understand that RCWs are shared and that anything that is done to the interface pointers wrapped by the RCW or RCW wide operations like System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject() affect all users of the RCW. If people explicitly want a new RCW to be created even if a mapping already exists in the cache, they should call System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetUniqueObjectForIUnknown(). However, they need to understand that RCWs are expensive so there is a good reason why we do this sharing.
Once an RCW is created, it can be cast to any interface that can be reached through QueryInterface() on the underlying COM object. Under the covers, we keep a small stash of interface pointers for each interface that has been accessed up to the size of the cache. Once the cache is full, any additional calls on new interfaces will result in a QueryInterface() on each method call. This is pretty important because some operations (like CoSetProxyBlanket) have affects on a given interface pointer and will not work with RCWs since we might generate a new interface pointer on the fly per call.
It is also important to remember that interface pointers have COM apartment / COM+ activity affinity and need the help of the Global Interface Table or CoMarshalInterThreadInterfaceInStream() to cross boundaries. RCWs shield users from this by doing all of the gymnastics to make this work behind the scenes for the user. This is both a good and bad thing. RCWs are most efficient when accessed from the apartment from which they were created; however, it is important to remember that the RCW might be getting pulled from the app domain wide cache (and the use case that caused the RCW to be created could be in a different apartment and cause unexpected performance sapping apartment transitions).
Unfortunately, even though RCWs are managed objects, most of the functionality for them is buried in the native implementation of the CLR virtual machine so there isn't a lot of end user transparency into how they operate. If you have any questions about additional RCW or other Interop issues that you would like to see addressed, please don't hesitate to email me.

Erin volunteered to be a Maternity model for me today. We were up at the crack of dawn, quite literally to get the golden hour lighting. It was so worth it! Both of us were talking about knowing about 5 a.m. because it's on the clock, and partying till then from time to time. Ehem. Anyways, Erin just looks incredible. I'm grateful for the chance to shoot these. I'm thinking I should specialize in these...

Don't Wait Until It's Too Late, Find Health Care Now!
Many believe that only wealthy people can afford it or that only the elderly should have it. But one cannot avoid health issues or accidents simply by not planning to have them. Good health insurance coverage is vital to everyone, as this article will clearly demonstrate.
You are going to need to know the full scope of your health coverage. If you have health insurance which covers incidents like these, it can make a difference in paying for the down time you need to incur.
When considering a health care insurance plan from your employer, take into account your own personal health and the health of your family. If you have no current medical issues and are in good physical shape, a cheaper premium and higher deductible may be the right choice for you. Saving money is good up front, but if you don't have enough coverage, problems can get expensive quickly.
Open Enrollment
Figure out what your needs are before open enrollment is offered. You may need more or less coverage than the previous year and changes may need to be made in your coverage. Wait until open enrollment time to make these changes, as well as changes to your vision or dental coverage.
Usually, individual policies cost more than group coverage that employers provide, so beware. It is possible you might have to be satisfied with a higher deductible and/or less coverage. Compare the premiums, deductibles and coverages of multiple providers.
If you or your family has vision problems, you will want to consider coverage for this. This type of insurance pays for a portion of the cost of eye exams and check-ups as well as corrective lenses like glasses or contacts. Vision insurance isn't mandatory and therefore may not be worth the cost for some individuals.
A cheaper alternative to comprehensive insurance is catastrophic coverage. Comprehensive may cover physician visits and medications, catastrophic covers emergency room and hospital visits.
Health Insurance
Having health insurance can lead to tax deductions! Although many people aren't aware of the fact, health insurance premiums are tax deductible. Any money you spend to cover your deductible, your prescriptions, or any visits that your insurance doesn't cover can also be deducted from your taxable income. State and federal taxes differ, so you will need to check the guidelines.
Each state regulates private insurance on their own, which means you are not allowed to purchase from another state. This would violate interstate commerce laws. If you end up in a hospital outside your state, you might not be covered. Health insurers are very precise on what they will cover, so make sure to understand all the finer details of your policy so you know what is covered.
Watch your bills. Even when having a plan related to health insurance, you could be in for a shock with some bills you weren't expecting, such as the high cost of some medications. Doctors often prescribe brand-name medication with no thought to offering you the generic version. Be sure to shop around. The price of generic medication may vary between different pharmacies.
Whenever you are looking into catastrophic health insurance as a coverage option, you must be sure to do your homework. Make sure that it will cover all of the events that you think it will. Once you have decided, get a Health Savings Account and start making deposits to cover your deductible if the worst should happen.
Be sure to do your homework researching potential health insurance coverage, especially if you are dealing with a pre-existing medical condition. Some insurance companies will not insure those with pre-existing conditions, and some charge very expensive premiums for them. You'll get better rates if you shop around and educate yourself.
The health insurance market is flooded with thousands of different policies for you to choose from. Before signing an insurance policy, do enough research so that you're sure you are getting the right plan at the best value. Make sure that you understand exactly what everything means before making your selection.
When you are going to be switching to a different insurance policy, be sure to have all of the facts about your new plan. Review and remember what your total yearly payments are as well as what is covered. Also be aware of how much the coverage costs. Hang onto all this for your records, along with the information from your current policy to use, when searching for another policy.
Health Insurance
If going solo in your search for a health insurance policy is a frightening prospect to you, then consider using an insurance broker. A good insurance broker can help you select the right health insurance for you and your budget. They are also aware of your state regulations. Compare the prices of insurance brokers prior to choosing one.
With any luck, this article has given you some great reasons to cover yourself with health insurance. Appropriate health insurance can literally be the difference between life and death, but sometimes you realize this fact too late. Plan ahead so you can meet your health care needs. As expensive as health insurance seems to be, can you afford not to be able to take care of your health?

Hawley: 'Soft on crime bills put our community at risk'
Press release from Assemblyman Steve Hawley:
"I am deeply concerned that the package of criminal justice bills that were brought to the floor the past two days by New York City special interests are soft on crime and endanger our families across the state.
"By raising the age of criminal responsibility from 16 to 18 we are allowing violent felony offenders to be tried in our family court system and allowing them more lenient sentences. Individuals should be responsible for their own actions and we should never put the rights of criminals above the safety of law-abiding citizens."

To date, the module has passed through five stages of beta upgrades and is currently on its sixth rendition. Two beta testers have completed the module from Beta 1 and one beta tester has completed from Beta 2. One tester completed the module on Beta 5 on a second play through and other testers are currently on a second play through, with the latest just starting Beta 6.
BETA 1 and 2: Had 73 patches.
BETA 3: Had 55 patches.
BETA 4: Had 6 patches.
BETA 5: Had 17 patches.
BETA 6 should, theoretically, only require typo fixes and minimal overall patching. This current beta version has also had a couple of module updates, including:-
1) Extra information about Crafting Recipe usage in GUI.
2) Extra feedback on Combination Locks if you have the Expert Decoder feat.
3) Fast Travel road markers for one area.
The following statistics have been ascertained:-
1) Total Play Time: Around 25 - 40 hours, subject to path and quests taken.
2) Party end level: Around 7-10th (after starting at 1st level).
Due to both testing and personal circumstances, the final version is likely to be delayed until the new year 2016. At that time, the module should be very stable and I will be in a better position to give support if it is required.

Mellotron M4000D
Behold, the mighty Mellotron. Like its predecessor the Chamberlin, it used racks of tape containing recordings of real instrument sounds, and can fairly be thought of as the original "sampler." It became part of the pop music landscape in the 1960s and part of the progressive rock movement in the 1970s. It faded into legend as more portable and reliable technology such as digital samplers came to the fore, but there's something about it that has kept us coming back. While its iconic sounds have found their way into modern synth workstations and software, the M4000D represents the ultimate expression of the classic Mellotron playing experience using digital technology.
Wood and Metal
From a birds-eye view, the M4000D resembles the classic M400 and current Mk. VI (a modern tape-based Mellotron): Its white wooden case (other finishes can be ordered) houses a 37-note keyboard, controls to the right of the keys, and flat top that can support an additional small keyboard or other gear. Unlike its elders, the M4000D is only 5.25 inches tall and weighs 33 pounds. The lid opens to reveal the same wooden key action as in the Mk VI. The keyboard is a joy to play, and is lighter and faster than the old 400's more resistant action. It's refreshing to see a modern digital instrument that employs wood and metal the way the M4000D does—there's no denying its high-end stage presence.
The M4000D comes with 100 sounds drawn from various Mellotrons and Chamberlins. It's bi-timbral, and there are always two active sound slots, A and B, with sounds loaded and ready to play. By turning Select A or Select B you immediately get access to any internal sounds or the 100 sounds on an inserted expansion card. In spite of their high quality (which suggests large sample sizes), sounds have no load lag. Each slot has its own screen, displaying a graphic of the particular instrument from whose library the sound originated (click image at right to enlarge). The Mix knob blends the two slots.
Press the Select B knob for a convenient list view of the presets, and press it again to enter a custom playlist mode to assign and access user-definable favorites. The presets include Melltron classics like strings, woodwinds, lesser-used standouts like vibraphone (a personal favorite of mine), brass, mandolin, and other keyboards and percussion. You won't find the rhythm and accompaniment tracks that were in some of the original Mellotrons, but they, along with lead sounds, will be part of the first available sound expansion, a custom Compact Flash card.
The sounds are impeccably reproduced from the original tapes at 24-bit resolution, with one sample per key and, like the original, have a duration of about eight seconds with no loops. The M4000D's sounds remain sustained if you change presets while holding keys, which is great for live performance. You can opt for some velocity sensitivity to volume, and also bring in more volume via polyphonic aftertouch. A high-low toggle in the middle of the panel drops the sound an octave. Another nifty feature is that you can choose subtle EQ characters for the instrument globally: a cleaner, clearer output with "Chamberlin M1" or a slightly muted vintage character with "Worn Tapes" (Mellotron M400). The sounds by default had a bit of a longer decay, but I was able to quickly change that setting to the more 'Tron-like (and organ-like) instant stoppage of sound once I released a key. You can also define the "tape rewind time," which will make 'Tron fans happy. Don't go looking for reverb or multi-effects here, though. It's not that kind of instrument.
Audio and MIDI
Audio is handled by the same analog volume and tone control pots found in a Mellotron Mk. VI if you use the master output. These controls are bypassed when using the A and B direct outs (click image at left to enlarge). There's no stereo unless you pan the A and B outs using an external mixer, but tape-based Mellotrons are monaural as well. The volume pedal jack is meant for an audio volume pedal such as an Ernie Ball Jr.—plug the TRS end of a send-and-return Y cable into it, then the forks of the Y into the pedal's input and output.
The sustain pedal input can be assigned to "Release Time" (the 4000D's version of sustain), or to step incrementally through "playlists," which are pairs of sounds you can choose for quick access. Then there are are two "Expr" (expression) pedal inputs. Expr 1 can control the A/B tone mix using a standard MIDI expression pedal. Both can also accept switch pedals to increment or decrement through playlist entries, if you modify the pedal by rewiring it to a TRS plug. This is both cool and uncool; it's nice to unlock more functionality in the instrument, but who's got time to solder? Sustain pedals from other manufacturers that support half-dampering (and therefore have TRS connectors) won't work in this application, so Mellotron may make properly modified pedals available for sale in the future.
The keyboard transmits polyphonic aftertouch as well as the more common "channel" aftertouch (you can choose which, or choose not to send aftertouch) and you can assign the Expr inputs to control parameters such as volume sensitivity to velocity and aftertouch. I did experience some stuck notes when using a sustain pedal and coarse resolution when using expression pedals. Consulting with M4000D creator Markus Resch, we troubleshot this to a specific MIDI malfunction on my review unit and verified that units in his possession were working properly.
At a time when instruments constantly leapfrog one another in terms of features for the buck, it's easy to overlook the courage it takes to produce a keyboard like the M4000D. I once lived with a vintage Mellotron M400, and as joyous as it was to play, there were plenty of times where inspiration took a hike before I finished changing tape racks. The M4000D captures much of the joy with nearly none of the maintenance, and it practically makes a game out of blending its character-rich sounds. Every time I've played it, it inspired composition.
For some, the price will surely be an issue. It's not cheap, but it's as fairly priced as you can expect any high-end, limited quantity, handmade-by-a-guy-in-Sweden instrument to be, and it's a downright bargain when compared to what a new (or well maintained vintage) tape-based Mellotron would cost. You can save a few hundred bucks by opting for the Mini model, which employs a semi-weighted Fatar action without aftertouch, has 1/4" outputs only (not XLR), and is built in a slimmer case. The M4000D is an inspiring realization of a beloved classic that adds modern conveniences while retaining the old-school magic.
PROS: Handmade boutique quality. Real wooden Mellotron key action. Gorgeous 24-bit samples of classic sounds. Polyphonic aftertouch. Expandable. Instant layering of any two sounds.
CONS: Handmade boutique price. Modified foot controllers required for some control features.
Bottom Line: To get the authentic Mellotron experience with minimal hassle, the M4000D is the definitive realization of the dream.
M4000D: $2,800 | M4000D Mini: $2,000 | Sound expansion: $500


text: Hey folks my mum currently has a Fiesta Zetec-s and is due for a change. She is looking at other nearly new Fiesta's but i think she should get a Clio trophy but she says they are too expensive so thats ruled out. So my next choices are A2 1.6FSI either SE or sport or a VW Lupo GTI. But both seem very hard to come by!! Have had a look on the Audi used search but there are next to none. Cheers.

I'm not sure when it started or when I first noticed it but CNN now has an Extreme Weather Desk as a regular feature in the course of their daily 24/7 news broadcasts. In my day... and I'm not kidding even though I'm only 54, in my day we didn't need an extreme weather desk! Of course occasionally the weather got crazy somewhere around the globe but that was exceptional and it was reported on then as it is today, breathlessly and with a sense of awe but you know, just not every damned day of the week!
Joe Romm's blog -- an absolute essential if you want links to the peer reviewed science that unequivocally makes the case for a human footprint on global warming -- he catalogues the long year in extreme and unprecedented weather events that occurred worldwide this year. From the 1 in a 1,000 year flood in Tennessee and the "weatherbomb" that hit the mid-west in October, to extreme drought in Russia and devastating floods in Pakistan, it was a year that mimicked the climate models that the deniers love to disparage.
One of the more obvious and least discussed signs of global warming are the success of the pine beetle across North America where warmer climates have sparked an outbreak of a voracious mountain pine beetle that is having devastating consequences for whitebarks and the wildlife that depend on them both in the US as discussed in this report over at NPR, and this one from Canada's CBC, where it's reported that the beetles are expected to wipe out 80% of British Columbia's pine forests by 2013.
Now of course with snow falling in the northeast and all over Europe the deniers are pretending that these are proofs that AGW is not happening. In fact it is the opposite, this is exactly what global warming looks like during the winter months: Analysis of the ice-free regions of the Arctic Ocean has found that the higher temperatures there caused by global warming, which have melted the sea ice in the summer months, have paradoxically increased the chances of colder winters in Britain and the rest of northern Europe. More storms and more extreme weather like the recent flooding in California and Canada's maritimes.
It's not the fact that these types of storms happen that's proof of anything, it's the frequency with which they are happening. It's the same for the changes being seen around the globe. They've happened before during the history of the planet but not in such a compressed period of time -- it is that which points to the human footprint in all of this. Those greenhouse gasses that are being spewed out by humankind at historically unprecedented rates and causing rapid climate changes all over the planet. There have been rapid sea level rises before and the causes are still argued about, but the amounts of CO2 that were in the atmosphere when those changes occurred are considerably less than what we are on course for.

By Kevin McPherson
The National Institutes of Health announced last month that it would invest up to $51.4 million over five years to speed up research in metabolomics, a field that focuses on the molecules that are produced or consumed during the chemical reactions of metabolism. Members of the American Society for Biochemistry of Molecular Biology will lead two of three newly funded research cores and a newly funded data center.Metabolism is an important process for the maintenance of life. The collection and analysis of metabolites, known collectively as a metabolome, provides useful information to researchers and clinicians on the state of the health of a cell or body. Metabolomics technologies that will be housed in the three regional cores will help researchers potentially measure hundreds of metabolites and quickly analyze the causes and effects of many diseases.Under the grants awarded by the NIH Common Fund, researchers will be able to take part in new initiatives for data sharing, training, standards synthesis and technology development in this emerging field. The fund will invest $14.3 million in the cores this year, with a possible $51.4 million funding line over the next five years, according to the statement.The University of Michigan, the University of California, Davis, and the Research Triangle Park Institute in North Carolina were the first three Regional Comprehensive Research Cores to be named this funding cycle, and two or three more cores could be named later. ASBMB members Charles Burant and Oliver Fiehn will head up the efforts in Michigan and California, respectively.In addition to the three cores, the University of California, San Diego, will house a Data Repository and Coordination Center. The center will function as a hub for all the other cores to organize and maintain data to present to the broader biomedical research community, according to the NIH's statement. This will allow metabolomics researchers to work collaboratively. The center, which will be led by ASBMB member Shankar Subramaniam, will receive $2 million this year and up to $6 million over the next five years.For more information, see the NIH announcement here: www.nih.gov/news/health/sep2012/od-19.htm.

NEW: Cholesterol Test Strips for Mission 3-in-1 Cholesterolmeter
With this unique cholesterol test strips for Mission 3-in-1 Cholesterol Meter, you can get a complete analysis of your cholesterol levels.
With just one strip you will know your total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides and Cholesterol Ratio! Our new package now includes everything you need for 5 tests. You don't need to buy the lancets separately anymore.
This pack contains:
- 5 Teststrips
- 5 Capillary blood transfer tubes (see instructions for use below)
- 5 Lancets
- Code chip
- Manual (English)
With these test strips you can easily measure at home in a reliable ** way all of your cholesterol levels. This 3-in-1 test strip measures your total cholesterol, HDL and triglyceride value (fat cells in the blood). The meter then determines LDL and your cholesterol ratio, the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL.
With only measurement you will have an overview of all available fats (lipids) in your blood. Besides the normal meter readings, a Cardiac Heart Disease Risk Assessment is also possible to evaluate the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart disease. By creating a profile, entering gender, age, (non)smoker / (non) diabetic and blood pressure, you can see if you have an increased risk of cardiac and / or vascular disease.
We always recommend that you contact your doctor or physicianin case of(too) high values and / or high-risk or to discuss the overal results. High cholesterol levels can in the lomg term lead to serious complaints and disorders. With a healthy (re) lifestyle you influence your own cholesterol levels. Moderate your alcohol intake, stop smoking, eat healthy and get plenty of exercise.
How to use the cholesterol meter
It might take a little while to get comfortable with the meter and how to prick a drop of blood. On the cholesterol home testing page you will find Instructions for use with a detailed explanation and also a video.
Important: It is essential that you fill the capillary with blood up to the black fill line.To puncture properly always use the Mission safety lancets (see bottom of this screen)
Caution: Do not press the capillary tube, as it fills by itself. If you do not get enough blood into the capillary the first time. Then start again. Put the partly filled capillary down. Create a new drop of blood. Then hold the capillary slightly tilted down and with the opening upwards and touch the droplet until you have collected enough blood.
Please note: These cholesterol test strips can only be used with the de Mission 3-in-1 Cholesterolmeter, also available on this site
Important: We guarantee that our test strips have an expiration date of at least 6 months from purchase.
