"We've reached a point where there are no hard deadlines until the debt ceiling," says Bob Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition.
"That can be good or bad. Good in the sense that deadlines we faced over the past couple of years have not been helpful in reaching an agreement. Bad in the sense that when you take the pressure off, policymakers don't always use this quieter time productively. Our political system seems to respond to crises and hard deadlines," he adds.

Hives are a skin reaction that causes red or white itchy welts. The welts vary in size and appear and fade repeatedly as the reaction runs its course.
Chronic hives are a condition in which the welts last more than six weeks or recur over months or years. Chronic hives usually aren't life-threatening. But the condition can be very uncomfortable and interfere with sleep and daily activities.
Often, the cause of chronic hives is not clear. In some cases, chronic hives are a sign of an underlying health problem, such as thyroid disease or lupus.
You can try various treatments to relieve your symptoms. For many people, antihistamine and anti-itch medications provide relief from chronic hives.
Chronic hives are also called chronic urticaria (ur-tih-KAR-e-uh).
Chronic hives signs and symptoms include:
See your doctor if you have:
Seek emergency care if you:
The welts that come with hives arise when certain cells release histamine and other chemicals into your bloodstream.
Doctors often can't identify the reason for this skin reaction, or why it sometimes turns into a long-term problem (chronic hives). But the skin reaction may be triggered by:
Factors that increase your risk of developing chronic hives include:
Chronic hives complications include:
People with chronic hives may be at increased risk of developing these immune system disorders:
You'll probably first visit your primary care doctor. But he or she may then refer you to a doctor who specializes in skin diseases (dermatologist) or to an allergy specialist.
Preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time with your doctor. For chronic hives, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Your doctor is likely to ask you questions such as:
If you're experiencing mild hives, these tips may help relieve your symptoms:
Your doctor will do a physical exam and ask you a number of questions to try to understand what might be causing your symptoms. He or she may also ask you to keep a diary to keep track of:
It isn't always possible to determine the underlying cause of chronic hives. If the first-choice therapies haven't worked for you, your doctor may order one or more tests, including:
Your doctor will likely recommend you treat your symptoms with home remedies, such as over-the-counter antihistamines. If self-care steps don't help, talk with your doctor about finding the prescription medication or combination of drugs that works best for you.
Treat any underlying factors causing your symptoms. If your doctor can determine that your hives are caused by another condition, he or she will first try to treat that. For example, people with chronic hives and inflamed thyroid (thyroiditis) may best be helped by treating the thyroid problem.
Take nondrowsy forms of antihistamine pills. Taking antihistamines pills daily helps block the symptom-producing release of histamine. The newer forms of the drugs (second-generation antihistamines) have fewer side effects, such as drowsiness, than older antihistamines:
Take older forms of antihistamine pills. If the newer antihistamines don't help you, your doctor may recommend you take an older form of the drug, but only before bedtime, as it can make you drowsy. Examples include:
Check with your doctor before taking any of these medications if you are pregnant or breast-feeding, have a chronic medical condition, or are taking other medications.
Try other medications. If antihistamines alone don't relieve your symptoms, other drugs that may help include:
Anti-inflammation medications. Oral corticosteroids, such as prednisone, can help lessen swelling, redness and itching. These usually are used only for a short time to control severe hives or angioedema because they can cause serious side effects.
Corticosteroids creams applied to the skin usually aren't effective for chronic hives. Corticosteroids can weaken your immune system, making it easier for you to get an infection or worsening an infection you already have.
Ask about other options. Several medications may help people whose chronic hives resist treatment:
The following precautions may help prevent or soothe the recurring skin reactions of chronic hives:
More study is needed, but some evidence supports the following alternative medicine approaches for providing relief of symptoms:

Hi Lucy
I wrote to you some time ago about my teaching placement in a Tibetan monastery in India, teaching young monks aged 9 - 18.
I now have more information and would welcome some advice on how I can plan my lessons.
They are of mixed ability, highly educated in Buddhist studies but have very little knowledge of the ways of the west. They have differing English abilities.
The reason for learning English is to converse with western visitors, travel to teach in western centres and generally understand western ways and psychology.
They will have one hour lesson a day with an hour's homework.
It's a wonderful opportunity for me, and I really want to be able to give them my best.
So Lucy, any ideas would be really appreciated.
With kind regards

The 2012 European Championship is now in full swing and Arsenal.com will be keeping you regularly updated with the progress of the Gunners taking part in the tournament.
Lukas Podolski, Per Mertesacker
Germany 4-2 Greece
Friday, June 22
Germany eased into the Euro 2012 semi-finals with a comfortable 4-2 victory against Greece on Friday night - and possibly set up a showdown against England.
Neither Lukas Podolski nor Per Mertesacker featured for the tournament favourites in Gdansk, but that did not prevent them from brushing aside a limited Greece side intent on containment.
Joachim Low's side were frustrated for much of the first half as they wasted a host of clear-cut chances, but Philipp Lahm settled any nerves with a fine 39th-minute strike.
Germany's dominance continued after the half-time interval but Greece caused a momentary shock when Georgios Samaras bundled in an equaliser against the run of play in the 55th minute.
But Low's side maintained their composure and retook the lead within six minutes as Sami Khedira fired home from inside the box, before Miroslav Klose and Marco Reus added further strikes.
Dimitris Salpingidis converted a late penalty for Greece, but it was nothing more than a consolation as an imperious Germany marched on to take their place among the final four.

Raising fish hooks Weare kids on learning
By NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent | April 02. 2014 10:47PM
Ali Burkhamer, 12, tests the temperature of the water where 230 trout eggs are getting ready to hatch in the tank at Weare Middle School. (NANCY BEAN FOSTER/Union Leader Correspondent)
Each day, students are responsible for measuring and charting the temperature of the water to ensure things are going well for the eggs, which look like little more than little transparent orbs with two black spots — the fish's eyes.
"Every year, I get a baby catfish from the river and raise it," she said.
In the short time since they've had the fish, one of the tiny creatures has hatched.
The tiny fish are currently feeding from yolk sacs in the eggs. As they outgrow those sacs the students will be feeding them freeze-dried black flies, but feeding will stop just before the fish are released so that they'll seek natural sources of nourishment."I think it will be cool to release them," said Burkhamer. "It will be interesting if they stay together or all go their separate ways."

The Winslow Boy. American Airlines Theatre (see Broadway). By Terence Rattigan. Directed by Lindsay Posner. With Roger Rees, Charlotte Parry. Running time: 2hrs 35mins. One intermission.
The Winslow Boy: in brief
A national institution in England, Terence Rattigan is the poet laureate of 20th-century British repression and longing. His 1946 drama follows an Edwardian father's attempt to clear his expelled-student son's tarnished reputation. The cast of this Roundabout Theatre Company revival includes Roger Rees, Michael Cumpsty and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. Lindsay Posner directs.
The Winslow Boy: theater review by Adam Feldman
The perfectly chosen floral green wallpaper of Peter McKintosh's set for The Winslow Boy is emblematic of the marvelous attention to detail that distinguishes Lindsay Posner's handsome revival. Terence Rattigan's crisp 1946 drama, inspired by a real incident that polarized Edwardian London, concerns the struggle of middle-class father Arthur Winslow to clear the name of his teenage son, Ronnie (Spencer David Milford)—and stand up for English fairness—after the lad is expelled from a naval academy for stealing a five-shilling postal order.
Roger Rees, in a superb performance, endows the gouty paterfamilias with palpable decency and warmth as he stakes his family's fortune on what seems a quixotic quest. The offstage legal drama is balanced against the shifting romantic prospects of Ronnie's suffragette sister, Catherine (a charming, self-assured Charlotte Parry), whose possible matches include a dogged family friend (Michael Cumpsty, endearingly cloddish) and the arrogant lawyer (a dashing Alessandro Nivola) who takes up Ronnie's case. And Rattigan's witty examination of the price of honor is subtly framed by a tragic irony: The looming "scrap" abroad that the play's young men are so eager to join will turn out, of course, to be World War I. Innocent the lamb may be, but slaughter yet awaits.—Theater review by Adam Feldman
THE BOTTOM LINE Drawing-room drama is rarely this inviting.

What do siblings with a thriving software company, Bridgway Software, have in common with Houston's urban organic farming and refugees from Africa's troubled Congo? They are elements of a radical idea turned non-profit company called Plant It Forward Farms, driven by alumni Teresa O'Donnell '77 and her brother Pat '76 to help economically disadvantaged refugees generate a living wage.
Pat, with degrees in math and theology, and Teresa who is an alumna from UST's nursing program, were scouting for a way to give back to the community when a Houston Chronicle article about the struggles of unemployed refugees caught Teresa's eye.
She contacted the Catholic Charities refugee resettlement program and learned that finding meaningful work for uneducated refugees from was difficult. She did learn that those who do find work are in low paying, night shift, factory work with a rotating door.
"I asked myself what it would be like if I had to flee my country, stay in some interim place, then make it to America where I don't speak the language, have no marketable skills and am completely out of my comfort zone," Teresa said.
A subsequent article noticed by the siblings claimed that a farmer with only an acre of land could generate a decent living.
Teresa started to connect the dots. "There is a huge market for local produce now," she said. "There is vacant land everywhere. And there are these refugees who need work."
Pat said, "We started doing our homework. With Houston's 12-month growing cycle, we figured that someone with an acre of land could become self-sufficient, conceivably earning anywhere from $20,000 to $60,000 annually."
In May 2012, the two went to work securing the first three acres from a church. They signed up 14 African refugees, all with some previous farming experience, for a year of training on the first acre.
"By October of that year, the first produce was harvested and being sold at farmers markets and to local chefs," Pat said. "A single acre consistently generated a remarkable $1,000 in sales per week. That suggested to us that perhaps an acre is more than is needed. Half an acre is probably enough and would be easier to find in the city," he said.
Their first half-acre lot was secured recently at University of St. Thomas where a small community garden had been located and operated by the Environmental Science and Studies program.
UST's ESS program is unique among environmental programs in the United States. While many universities offer programs that study the environment from the perspective of ecology or economics, UST is able to go a step further to explore environmental issues from a moral perspective in light of the Catholic intellectual tradition.
Sister Damien Marie Savino, FSE, chair of environmental science and studies, said the Plant It Forward Farms garden should be able to help at least one family, if not more, get their feet on the ground in this country.
"In the future, our Environmental Science and Studies department hopes to coordinate some collaborative educational ventures with the Plant It Forward Farms."
At University of St. Thomas, giving students the opportunity to learn first-hand and exposing them to community service is part of the students' opportunity to live the St. Thomas mission: goodness, discipline and knowledge. For Teresa, St thomas was more than taking the required math, science and English subjects.
"I was also exposed to reasoning, compassion, tolerance and an understanding that things are not always as they seem. While these ideas did not fully mature in me at the time, they have proven to be the basis of my decision making now, as an older and hopefully wiser woman. I am very grateful for the foundation I received at UST."
Rewarding days are ahead. So is a lot more work by the new non-profit group. Contracts are being sought with restaurants to join eateries such as Underbelly and Roots Bistro as purchasers of the produce. And Plant It Forward Farms is in pursuit of many more vacant half-acre lots. A philanthropic dream is being realized.
"This is our second farm in Houston," Teresa said. "My vision is a farm in every neighborhood."

The newest animated flick to hit theaters this weekend is 'Freebirds.' Nothing to do with the Skynyrd song of the same name. This one comes to us from Relativity Media and Real FX Animation (The award winner's first full length computer animated flick)
This one is very good and a lot of fun for the whole family. The story of two turkeys who travel in back in time to the first Thanksgiving to get the Thanksgiving turkey off the menu for good. (wait 'til you see what they replace it with-you'll get no spoilers here). The script was great and what I like about it was it was not predictable. Usually in a time travel movie you go back in time and if you fail in your quest, no problem, you just go back again to a few moments before your failure and fix it. That's what I expected and that's what didn't happen. Although one turkey did go back in time but to the moment he left after the failure and continued on. So they solve the issue of getting the turkey off the menu creatively.
3D is solid and the voice acting of Owen Wilson (he's getting real good at this), Woody Harrelson and Amy Poehler is at the top of the game. A co-starring appearance is put in by George Takei of Star Trek fame as the computer S.T.E.V.E. (like H.A.L. in '2001')
The kids I brought said it was both sad and inspiring at the same time. My daughter gave it a 5 and her friend Rose said the sad parts she didn't like and said a 4).
There's a couple of small things I would have added to the story so:
3 stars and with the kid's input.

The fourth World of Warcraft expansion set, Mists of Pandaria, has been unveiled! Shrouded in fog since the world was sundered more than ten thousand years ago, the ancient realm of Pandaria has remained unspoiled by war. Its lush forests and cloud-ringed mountains are home to a complex ecosystem of indigenous races and exotic creatures — including the noble and enigmatic pandaren. Will the mists of Pandaria part to reveal the world's salvation… or will the battle to control this new land push the Horde and the Alliance over the brink of war and into total annihilation?
In Mists of Pandaria, players will be able to explore an all-new continent while reaching new heights of power on their way to an increased level cap of 90. In addition, adventurers can choose whether to side with the Horde or the Alliance as World of Warcraft's first neutral race — the pandaren — and master the ways of Pandaria's ancient martial arts as the all-new monk class.
For more information, check out the official press release, and visit the new World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria website for screenshots, information about the new features, concept art, the announcement trailer, and more.

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
The day after the night before
I fell asleep early last night, exhausted from work and saturated with elaborate election speculation by talking heads on TV. But around 11 the ping of my cellphone woke me as my son texted one word: OBAMA.
Back to sleep, feeling somewhat relieved. But not elated. There's hard work to be done by everyone. That doesn't change, no matter who's in office. What changes is the willingness and ability to do it. I'm hoping for less opposition, more cooperation, and working toward the important goals that matter.
You can always dream.
Meanwhile, I'd like to suggest that "our guy" is seldom as good as we hope, and "their guy" is seldom as bad as we fear. Time to crank down the hysteria, while cranking up our insistence on truth and stellar judgment that will promote the general welfare of people in this good nation.
And now, treadmill. Coffee. Work. Eat. Right foot, left foot. Right foot, left foot.
Look up and around at the beautiful world. Laugh. Give thanks. Be kind. Sleep.
That's my plan, and I'm sticking to it.

Bexxar Consolidation CLL or SLL (PSOC 2301)
A Study of 131-Tositumomab (Bexxar) Consolidation In Patients With B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma In First Remission
Trial Status
Trial Phase
Phase II
Study Number
Local Study ID
Trial Location
Olympic Medical Center, Sequim WA
This study is evaluating the use of radioimmunotherapy (Bexxar®) in patients who have achieved a first remission following chemotherapy (ex. Fludarabine and Rituximab, Fludarabine,Cyclophosphamide,Rituximab, etc...) to try and eliminate any remaining disease and to lower the chance of the CLL from returning. Radioimmunotherapy uses an antibody that is designed to target specific cancer cells such as the CLL cells, and deliver a small targeted dose of radiation to them. In this study we will gather more information about the safety and effectiveness of using a radiolabeled antibody therapy, 131 I-tositumomab, also called Bexxar® after standard therapy.

Roald Hoffmann
Chemistry is A + B → C + D, substances and their transformations. Change, symbolized by the arrow in the equation, was always of real value to people, whether it was in the protochemistries of food preparation, gunpowder, dyes or metallurgy. The hold was psychological as well as economic; it was fascinating, frightening, thrilling—all of these—to see color changes, healing and explosions. As chemistry became a molecular science, the magic of transformation did not abate. And the value of adding value to the natural by human transformation never left us, it only changed scale; aside from airplanes and computers, the chemical industry is pretty much the major positive contributor to the U.S. trade balance.
But all along it has been too easy to focus on the before and after, on the reactants and products, on the noun and not the verb. Nor did much change as we learned of the molecules within macroscopic matter—to capture change itself, to visualize it and harness its special features was never easy. The blinking of an eye is glacially slow compared with what happens in the first few of dozens of reactions in photosynthesis, or in the controlled explosions in your car engine.
There is a change in chemistry today, for the arrow is now well on its way to being understood. (See "Reaction Dynamics in Organic Chemistry," March–April 1997.) We have femtosecond spectroscopies that allow us to freeze the arrow's motion in neo-Zeno ways, as in the remarkable work of Ahmed Zewail of Caltech. The pictures we obtain of molecular motion, albeit indirect, are truly as startling, and as decisive of argument, as the photographs that Eadweard Muybridge obtained of galloping horses in the late 19th century (a point made to me by my Stanford colleague John Brauman).
And, in the true test of understanding, we can bend the arrow, direct the reaction elsewhere. Why should we wish to do so? Because we desire that which is not easily given unto us. Or we may profit from this capability. But mainly we wish to gain confidence in our understanding of how transformation takes place by affecting the transformation, by ringing the changes on change itself. In the first installment of Marginalia on the new kinetic art, I tell here two contemporary stories of reaction dynamics.

Fixing Heart Defects in Children
Fifty million Americans suffer from arthritis. That number is expected to grow to 67 million in the next 15 years. The pain is becoming so excruciating that record numbers are opting for hip, shoulder, and knee replacements. However, now you don't have to go under the knife to find relief.
Former State Representative John Lunsford gave speeches, shook hands, and pounded the pavement for eleven years in Georgia. It all took a toll on his body.
"I was taking about 16 ibuprofen a day and sometimes I'd take two naproxen in the morning and two at night," John Lunsford told Ivanhoe.
Lunsford was suffering from osteoarthritis. Doctors said his only solution was surgery.
"The first one told me I would need a total hip replacement. So, I went to get a second opinion, and he told me I needed a total hip replacement," John said.
Then, he found the next evolution in regenerative medicine, using stem cells to target inflammatory and pain pathways.
"They change the pain pathway so it's no longer as painful. They change the inflammatory pathways in that you don't have as much inflammation being produced and in turn not as much pain," R. Amadeus Mason, MD, Assistant Professor of Orthopaedics at Emory Sports Medicine Center, told Ivanhoe.
Emory Orthopedic Specialists take the stem cells from a patient's own bone marrow, process them, and inject them back into the patients' joint, causing the pain to go away.
"We have also seen regeneration of cartilage," Dr. Mason said.
Patients are able to walk or drive immediately after the procedure and should experience significant overall improvement within six weeks.
"The implant was a little intense for a few seconds, nothing you couldn't deal with. It was a whole lot less painful than a root canal," Lunsford said.
Out of 50 patients, only one needed surgery.
"We basically turbo charged that site to heal itself and so far so good," Lunsford said.
Stem cell injections are being used mainly in the larger joints: knees, hips, and shoulders. However, because this treatment is so new, doctors don't know how long it will last. After three to four years patients will need to have another injection, or the replacement surgery, and because of that most health insurance plans will not cover it.
BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. It affects an estimated 27 million Americans. Most people over the age of 60 have it to some degree, but its severity varies. However, people in their 20s and 30s can get osteoarthritis. In people over 50, more women than men have osteoarthritis. It is associated with the breakdown of cartilage in joints and can occur in almost any joint in the body. It occurs more often in the weight bearing joints of the hips, knees, and spine. It can also affect the thumb, fingers, neck, and large toe. Osteoarthritis causes the cartilage in a joint to become stiff and lose its elasticity, making it more susceptible to damage. (Source: www.webmd.com)
SYMPTOMS/RISK FACTORS: Symptoms of osteoarthritis most often develops gradually and includes:
Pain after overuse or after long periods of inactivity
Stiffness after periods of rest
Bony enlargements in the middle and end joints of the fingers
Joint aching and soreness, especially with movement
Joint swelling
There are several factors that increase a person's chances of having osteoarthritis. They include heredity, obesity, injury, other diseases, and joint overuse. (Source: www.webmd.com)
TREATMENT: The condition is usually treated with a number of treatments including weight loss, medications, physical therapy with muscle strengthening exercises, hot and cold compresses to the painful joint, removal of joint fluid, exercise, injection of medications to the joint, and use of supportive devices like canes or crutches. Surgery is also helpful to relieve pain when other treatment options have not been effective. The type of treatment depends on several different circumstances, like age, activities, overall health, occupation, medical history, location of disease, and severity of osteoarthritis. (Source: www.webmd.com)
NEW TECHNOLOGY: Researchers at Emory Sports Medicine Center are using stem cells to relieve joint pain. The two places in the body with an abundance of stem cells are the bone marrow (BMAC) and the adipose tissue (fat cells). These are the two places the doctor may choose to harvest to help treat joint pain or chronic tendon pain. Stem cells harness the healing power of a patient's own blood and works to actually repair the damaged tissue. They are isolated from a small sample of a patient's own bone marrow or fat cells and inject them directly into the damaged area. Emory physicians also use Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), which assists in the repair process. Each patient's treatment plan varies, but the typical patient requires one stem cell injection and a follow-up injection of PRP four to six weeks after the first injection. Since the cells come from the patient, there is not a chance of their body rejecting it. At the injection site, there is a very small risk of infection and a chance that some bruising will occur.

" Address: Bugsby Way / Greenwich / London / SE10 0GD / Tel: +44 (0) 208 269 5000 "
As me and my partner were off to see a show at the London Indigo o2 Arena we were looking for hotels near the venue. We came across one which is only a 10 minute walk from our designated tube station and the closet one we found to the venue.
Holiday Inn London - Bugsby Way:
_"The Holiday Inn Express London Greenwich hotel is contemporary and was extensively refurbished in 2008. Our facilities include air conditioning, licensed bar and coffee lounge, free WiFi in our Great Room lounge, car parking (£5 per night) and we serve evening meals."_
- www.expressgreenwich.co.uk
My Findings:
After getting off that horrid London Underground tube I couldn't wait to get into the hotel. It was absolutely freezing outside and the wind felt like knives hitting your face. So for quickness I put the address into my phone and it directed us there. From the tube it took around 15 minutes to walk to the hotel.
You can see the hotel from the tube station and we just couldn't wait to get there, the hotel reception is located on the first floor so you either need to take the lift for walk up one flight of stairs. The main entrance was on the messy side with leafs all over the floor. But with people coming in and out of the hotel being very windy I guess this couldn't be helped.
We arrived at the hotel around 14:30 however check in wasn't until 15:00. Since it was really cold though I thought I'd ask if an early check in was available, since that most hotels tend to allow it if the room is ready. I asked them but they told us that their system was being updated and no one would be able to check in until 15:00, which is odd as that's a very specific time to be able to predict when the update would be finished. Any updates in our hotel is always done during early hours of the morning so it has minimal impact on guests checking in or out.
So we sat at the bar and enjoyed a few drinks while we were waiting, 15:00 came we went back to the reception desk so we could check in however again we were told that the system was still updating and they would call us when the update was finished. Personally this rather aggravated me as from working in a hotel if that was the case they should have a back up printed list of 'guest arrivals' in order to book guests into their room on time.
Finally at 15:45 were able to be checked into our rooms there was no apology for our wait, but when we were going to our room the cleaners were just leaving that section of the corridor so in my opinion I doubt if there was any issues with the system what so ever they were just running behind with their cleaning, hence our wait.
The Room - (215):
Like with a lot of hotels nowadays instead of keys you have a key card which opens the room doors, we opened the door and were just grateful to be inside! Now I am rather picky when it comes to the room standard, as when I'm at work I check 71 rooms so I know exactly where to look!
When looking at the bed yes it looked pleasing on the eye and very comfortable, however when pulling the duvet back there were some black hairs on the bed sheet. Which personally made me question if they changed the bed sheet after the previous occupant? The rest of the sheet was clean and did smell fresh so I removed the hairs myself. One thing I did like is that we were given 2 soft pillows and 2 firm pillows which were very nice and comfortable.
Now as for the rest of the room - there were coffee stains on the ceiling, the carpet was badly stained, top of the kettle lid was dusty, chewing gum stuck to the bedside board, crisps under the sofa bed and the air conditioning unit in the room didn't work. The jack lock on the window didn't look all that secure but the window was clean and we have a good view over London.
In the room you have a place where you can hang your clothes; it's an open style wardrobe with some fixed hangers. There was also a dry cleaning bag, if you required that service.
The facilities:
For a hotel in London I was thinking it would be very modern but the hair dryer and kettle were extremely dated. The kettle was rather loud when in use and there were only enough condiments to make one cup of tea or coffee each. Hair dryer I found a little awkward to use as you had to hold the button in all the time when using it. The one thing that was up to date in the room was the television, a nice good size flat screen in which each channel was clear with good sound quality.
The bathroom:
Again this was a little on the dated side of things, but on the whole it was an okay size for a double room. It wouldn't have been any good for a family room though. The bathroom has one door which doubled for the toilet door also which I'm guessing had to be done for space reasons. When you used it at a toilet door though there was a gap in which you could see into the room and you could see in from the room itself. Now if you were staying with a colleague or a friend I would personally find this rather embarrassing.
Due to saving nowadays days a lot of hotels do not leave free toiletries in the room anymore, but you are supplied with a fixed hand wash and a fixed shower and hair gel in the shower. This is okay for some, however there was a sign stating you can get toiletries from reception if needed.
The breakfast:
I guess as breakfast was free with the room it was pretty much okay, although quite generic. For the meat eaters it was no full English hot food wise, it was only scrambled eggs and sausages available. There were also hot croissants, mini muffins, fruits, yogurt, cereal and a selection of hot and cold drinks. You could also eat as much as you wanted, so Joe went up several times! He did say that the sausages tasted like the microwavable ones and the eggs were quite bland though.
I had one round of brown toast with beans and scrambled egg, and in my opinion the egg was pretty much tasteless. Even my orange juice tasted watered down, but after all it was free.
The breakfast area I was very pleased when it came to the cleanliness, everything was in sections, nicely presented and easily accessible.
The Bar:
The bar was very expensive a j2o costing £2.70 where most places it is only 99p! But the prices were heighted pretty much everywhere we went around London. The service area was a little messy not so much unclean just a lot of items left out which staff could have put away, making the area look more welcoming on the guest eye.
The bar area was mixed into the lounge and waiting quarters, there were a mix of chairs and sofa so you have a good choice on where you wanted to sit. We sat on the lounge seats which were padded and comfortable. On the hold was presentable and nice to relax.
Price and Availability:
As with hotels the price is always subject to change due to the numbers and time of each. We paid £89 for our room which included a free buffet breakfast for both of us. So for where the hotel was located in a prime location the price was actually pretty decent.
I personally would stay here again only as it is so close to the o2 arena. However the hotel staff seemed to be fed up and really looked like they didn't want to be there. The room was on the unclean side; the breakfast was ok but didn't really cater for special dietary needs. I would recommend this hotel for the ease of getting to venues but would say to them to check there rooms first.
Check out was 12pm which all we needed to do was hand the key card back to reception then off we went.
I'm really in the middle when it comes to this hotel so I would give it two and half stars out of five.
Thanks for reading
Additional Information:
As we arrived on foot we didn't have any need for using the car pack provided but if you did need this service there was a per day charge.

Last month my husband celebrated his birthday and to his great delight (or perhaps mine), I procured tickets to the X-factor live show in the O2 arena in London. I have not been there before but as I did not want to either drive home or even worse utilise public transport afterwards, a hotel within walking distance was required. My research revealed just the one, The Holiday Inn Express.
I booked the hotel months in advance and the rate obtained was £150, or so I thought. As the day approached, I read the booking documents again and despite this being a confirmed booking that needed to be cancelled with notice, I realised that the rate was subject to change on the day! Perhaps this is normal for Holiday Inn Express establishments but I have never stayed in one before and I found this a highly unusual arrangement. Indeed I was quite alarmed as I thought that plenty of people attending the concert would have the same idea as me and hence push the price up. I realised I did not have much of a choice by this time though so we went along as planned.
We drove down from Hertfordshire on Saturday afternoon, it was a rather unpleasant drive once we arrived in London but the hotel was not difficult to find and had plenty of parking spaces available. Hotel guests pay £5 a day for parking.
Stepping inside and first impressions were favourable. The lobby area was bright, new-looking and the décor modern in shades of coffee, truffle and cream. There was a large seating and bar area which looked very comfortable, although I did not see anybody making use of it during our stay and neither did we.
There was nobody else waiting to check in when we arrived and after completing the formalities at reception desk we headed up to our allocated room. The public areas we passed through seemed to be well maintained and in good condition and I was so far impressed. As we walked down our corridor on the seventh floor, the spacing between doors indicated to me that the room was not going to be of palatial proportions and indeed it was not.
I must admit it was the smell and not the size of the room that first struck me upon opening the door though. Not a musty smell, more like poor drains. Not overpowering and we decided that opening the windows for a little while would deal with the issue. We had a good look around wondering if the smell was indicative of more serious maintenance and cleaning issues, but we found no evidence and so decided it was not worth making any kind of fuss about.
The room was pretty small and the furnishings extremely basic. The bed was low, too soft and not very large. The desk was made out of cheap wood and the TV an old fashioned 14 inch portable. The seating was a sofa bed, so for the budget conscious I assume it is ok for more than two people to occupy the room. The walls were quite thin and before we went out we did hear noise which was a little intrusive but thankfully when we retired for the evening my neighbours were quiet.
We managed to kill an hour or so, before walking down to the O2 arena, which was perhaps 20 minutes walking, although I didn't make a point of timing this accurately. After the show we wandered back and went straight up to the room.
I had quite an uncomfortable night, the bed was soft and I kept rolling into the middle as well. The duvet was flimsy and the pillows overstuffed with no discernable difference between the labelled hard and soft pillows. I was quite cold most of the night as the heating / air conditioning unit did not work too well on heat.
In the morning, I decided against breakfast and just had some coffee from the in-room supplies (don't think there were any biscuits), my husband decided to go down for something to eat. He came back unimpressed; the hot breakfast buffet only offered scrambled eggs and sausages, the cold buffet some cereal and yoghurts. At least it was included in the room rate.
This was not a hotel I wanted to spend any more time in than absolutely necessary, so there was no leisurely lie in for us. We were on our way by 8am. The hotel was clean, functional and certainly very handy for the O2 arena. The staff were pleasant, polite and friendly. But at £180, which was the amount I ended up being billed, it was ridiculously over-priced.

We guarantee that the pictured item is an original Blancpain watch.
265 years ago, an innovative family from the little city Villerset (western Switzerland) gave the watch brand Blancpain its name. Over 200 years and 7 generations the company management, history and talent was given from father to son. The era of the family ended 1932 with the last male Blancpain. Nevertheless, this old-established name shines now more than ever. In 1933 two close employees of the last Blancpain took the company under the name 'Rayville S.A., succ. de Blancpain' over. From 1952 on professional diver watchs were produced, which wrote history under the name 'Fifty Fathoms'. Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his team, too, used and tested these reliable timing devices. In 1971, when the quartz revolution took its toll on the whole swiss clock production, sales of Blancpain watches were unaffected. The goal of becoming an exclusive top-brand moved closer. At the beginning of the eighties, coincidence and entrepreneurial creativity led to an amazing revival. Conventional watchmaking skills dictated the visionary program of the modern spirit. With his demand to "never make a quartz clock", Jean-Claude Biver became protagonist of the mechanical watch renaissance. With great attention to detail, originate complex mechanical marvels in Swiss Blancpain factories. Excellent clockmakers work for days, weeks or even months on a single exemplar. Nicolaus G. Hayek, chairman of the Swatch Group, said to the magazine CRONOS: "Blancpain is one of the most wonderful labels in the world."
The watch offered here is a masterpiece by Blancpain. Here, the clockmakers have tried to realize artistic aesthetics. The watches are produced with greatest accuracy and inspection. Enthusiasts of beauty, art and culture will be fascinated. It is a typical dream watch, captivating with its simple elegance. Refinement meets simplicity to accentuate the essential of time.

Well I finally made it back last night after about 30 hours of travel and dealing with some real "class acts" at the US customs in Toronto. Did get the birds back and wanted to share some pics of the red grouse and red legged partridge hunt.
After arriving in Dufftown in Scotland I took in the scenery of my new environment.
The next morning it was time to meet up at a local French restaurant to head off towards the hunting ground.
The city was small but a beautiful place
As we got to the top we were now in Red grouse country! The moors are just full of heather (what the grouse feed on)
Great views to start a mornings hunt
Here is the Heather plant. That place was such an interesting type of habitat. Very sponge like and just overall a crappy kind of place to live in it were me.
These hunts are done by rough shooting or walking them up for US terminology. Each hunter is separated by an guide and all walk in as straight of a line as possible. In this pic you can see the stand for hunters doing driven grouse shoots that cost amounts of money that insane. 200 GBP per 2 birds (a brace). Imagine the bill after shooting 100 grouse!
Walking along waiting for the famous grouse to make an appearance
Here is the first red grouse for the trip, guy made a great shot and I was excited to finally see my first red grouse
Couple of action sequences for the dog picking him up
For the first drive the one hunter bagged three nice red grouse and I got the mountain hare.
On the next drive I was able to knock down two great ones right before lunch. Probably my favorite picture!
Closeup of one the grouse, really cool reddish hue those birds have. Not to hard to understand why they call them that.
Here's me holding a grouse and just enjoying the moment to hold something with so much history with it.
Nice closeup of their rump area,
Here we are in front of the days bag, 10 red grouse and some mountain hares.
Here are my three from the trip, great start to the Scotland trip for sure.
Hope you enjoy, many more editions to come

Hello, everyone.
Several years ago I purchased, actually, a Star Trek item from "Star Fortress Productions" for $465, and needless to say, I didn't get it. Through some detective work and research I present to you, and for anyone else ripped off, the phone number of one of the people associated with this website:
+63 909 868 9734
I understand it's probably not the most ethical route, but too many people have been ripped off of their money, and I'm sick of hearing about it. This number is in the Philippines, so what I did was purchase some credits on Google's phone calling system, and you can call to your heart's content, even if he doesn't answer! I read on one of the similar threads that a member might have some legal friends to help with this, as Paypal did not care at all.
Thanks, and I appreciate any help.

We talk with Robert Allshouse, Business Development manager of Intel's NAND group. He talks about Intel's SSDs which are now hitting mass production. The products are guaranteed to work from 0c-70c. They use less power and take far more of a beating than their disk counterparts. Just get ready to unload your wallet.
Rob Wray: Hi, my name�s Rob from MP3 Car. We�re here at CES 2009 at Intel�s booth, and Rob from Intel is here with us giving us a quick demo of some of their memory that�s been in the press recently. So you�ve got three different modules of memory here which are all very interesting.
So this guy here, he�s an eighty gigabyte module that sells for what? About $500 on New Egg? This guy�s about, is $1,000, and how ��
Intel�s Robert Allshouse: That�s 160 gigabyte. And this little one down here is another eighty gigabyte. It�s the same drive in a slightly smaller form factor for your more small form factor net tops and other smaller applications.
Rob Wray: Okay.
Intel�s Robert Allshouse: Using a micro static connector instead of the standard static.
Rob Wray: So how long do these last?
Intel�s Robert Allshouse: The typical life for the consumer level drives is they�re expected a five-year useful life, and that useful life is at a ten-gigabyte write per day.
Rob Wray: Right.
Intel�s Robert Allshouse: So since the technology has finite write cycles. You can read as much as you want, so it�s a read-intensive application. By continually reading maps from there, you�re not affecting the life.
Rob Wray: Right. So you were telling me a little bit before about multilevel drives. So the multilevel drives, you can write two bits of data per transistor, and the single level drives you can write one bit of data per transistor. So it sounded to me like most of our readers are really going to be interested in the multilevel, because you get the same read performance off the multilevel versus the single level, and just your write performance is degraded, and it sounds like with five years writing ten gigs a day, the MLC is going to capture everybody unless you�re trying to run a database server or something with tons of writes.
Intel�s Robert Allshouse: That�s right. The SLC drives, our thirty-two and sixty-four gigabyte drives, at near the same price points, are really focused on those sequel server guys with high write intensive applications. The five-year useful life for these drives is for most consumers plenty, and it�s actually more than enough. The difference in the writes as you were saying, it�s about seventy megabytes per second write on the MLC drive. And it�s 150 megabytes per second write on the SLC drive.
Rob Wray: Right.
Intel�s Robert Allshouse: The reads are about the same. They both flood the SATA bus at about 250 megabytes per second in reading. So you�re read performance between the consumer level and the enterprise level drive are the same.
Rob Wray: We were also talking about boot times. So boot times you said was one of the least impressive benefits out of flash, but a lot of people that we work with decide to resume from hibernate, and since that�s just a read application we should get a pretty good boost and resume from hibernate, but not boost � booting.
Intel�s Robert Allshouse: Yeah, you definitely � I mean, you see definite improvements in your boost. You know, five, ten seconds. But a lot of what�s happening, if you go look at a boot demo side by side, you�ll see the IO light is not flashing as much because it�s going so much faster, but you�re still waiting. And there are a lot of other things that happen during boot besides just IO.
I�m less impressed by that as much as something like hibernate, or really application load performance. Because application load where you�re random IO performance shows the huge difference, and you�ll see a demo on that where you can see you know, files transferring and applications loading immediately in real time.
Rob Wray: Well, let�s get into that demo.
Intel�s Robert Allshouse: Alright. So the primary purpose of this demo is to show how while file transfers are happening in large applications, you don�t slow down the rest of your system. So right now we�re copying a 680-meg set of files, at the same time we�re going to open up Picasso, look at six large pictures, create a collage, and then choose another IO-intensive application like opening up iTunes, which then looks in your folders, sees if there are new songs to look for, all while that�s happening. And this takes about thirty seconds before the collage is done, and playing.
Rob Wray: So the CES show floor is loaded with tons of vendors, probably hundreds of vendors, trying to sell you memory for your laptop. What�s the difference between stuff that would go in an inexpensive laptop or it�s floating all around the halls versus what we see here?
Intel�s Robert Allshouse: So there definitely is a big difference, and they�re all based on the same NAN technology with the exception of MLC and SLC, but really underlying it is NAN. But what you do for say additional camera where you�re writing maybe a couple hundred times maximum in the life of the drive, and you�re writing at the speed of moving a five-megapixel image or maybe even high def video at thirty megabytes per second, it�s different than what you�re trying to do on a laptop. And so you do have different rates.
The most simple grade would be a USB or an SD card, and those are designed around consumers who are just moving small amounts of data rarely. You�re not using it all day, every day. And then you move to your net top, net book type design, where it�s still small density and it�s off-the-shelf components building a small density low cost SSD. And at the high end, you have some drives like this one that have architecture design and route very high performance. Ten channels and parallel operating versus maybe two or four in the lower end drives for net book type applications.
Rob Wray: Right. So the other thing you guys have done, you were telling me before is you�ve written some � in your controllers, you�ve written things to optimize the write processes so it�s faster. You have more DRAM and things like that that you wouldn�t see in consumer grade.
Intel�s Robert Allshouse: Absolutely. A problem inherent in technology behind these is you can�t write a single bit, and so what you may run into is depending on how a vendor writes their algorithms, they may have to do two, four, ten times the amount of writes to change the amount of data they want to change. We�ve optimized that to get down to about 1.1 times. The term�s called write amplification. So it says that if you�re at two times versus one time, you�re getting half useful life. We�re only doing about 10% extra writes and we�re best in class in the industry.
Rob Wray: That�s great. Well, thanks for taking the time to give us such a thorough interview.
Intel�s Robert Allshouse: My pleasure. Thank you, Rob.

Brazilian teenager Wellington has joined Segunda Division side SD Ponferradina on loan for the 2012/13 season.
The move will see the 19-year-old forward return to Spain for a third loan spell. He has already played for La Liga club Levante and, in the second half of the 2011/12 season, for second division club Alcoyano where he made 16 appearances and scored three times.
Wellington (full name Wellington Alves Da Silva) joined Arsenal in January 2011 from Brazilian club Fluminense.
Although he went out on loan upon signing for the Club, the Brazil youth international featured in a Gunners shirt as a trialist in Arsenal XI pre-season friendlies against AFC Wimbledon and Boreham Wood in summer 2010.
Everyone at Arsenal wishes Wellington the best of luck for the coming season at the Estadio El Toralin.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Art and life are undeniably intertwined, and never more so than in the decade that was the 1970s. While contemplation of the 1960s may conjure up images of turbulent social change, it was during the next decade that American society began to feel the impact of civil rights legislation, the women's liberation movement, the sexual revolution, and so much more. These societal changes are reflected in the works of art celebrated in Aspects of American Painting from the 1970s.
"For artists, the 1970s was a rather pluralistic decade, with a lot of individualism afoot," says Director Peter Blume. "Artists were searching for a personal language and trying out new things."
Some of those new things can be found in the work of the Chicago Imagists, a group of artists who relied on popular cartoons and cheap advertising to inform their work.
"The Chicago Imagists really loved their lowbrow inspirations, and you can see the warmth and passion they were putting into their imagery," says Blume. "They were making the obscene seen, giving the things we tend to ignore or avoid a stage and an audience."
Two of the original Chicago Imagists, Ed Paschke and Barbara Rossi, are featured in the exhibition.
Women were front and center in the 70s, with important female artists like Katherine Porter using art to make political statements (Chalatenango, 1980). Joan Snyder (To Grow, 1973), whom Blume calls "the darling of the 70s," would continue to produce art for more than four decades and go on to be named a MacArthur Fellow in 2007.
Blume feels the time has come to take another look at the paintings from this decade.
"It's been thirty years, and upon reflection we can see it was a very interesting time," he says. "There was minimalism, which was a very dogmatic way of looking at what art could be, but at the same time there were other more experimental and expansive things going on at the same time."
Exhibition Date: May 20, 2011 - August 28, 2011

GHC/Using rules
From HaskellWiki
1 Using Rules in GHC
GHC's rewrite rules (invoked by the RULES pragma) offer a powerful way to optimise your program. This page is a place for people who use rewrite rules to collect thoughts about how to use them.
If you aren't already familiar with RULES, read this stuff first:
- The relevant section of the GHC user manual
- Playing by the rules: rewriting as a practical optimisation technique in GHC. This paper, from the 2001 Haskell workshop, describes the idea of rewrite rules.
1.1 Advice about using rewrite rules
- Remember to use the flag -fglasgow-exts and the optimisation flag -O
- Use the flag -ddump-simpl-stats to see how many rules actually fired.
- For even more detail use -ddump-simpl-stats -ddump-simpl-iterations to see the core code at each iteration of the simplifer. Note that this produces lots of output so you'll want to direct the output to a file or pipe it to less. Looking at the output of this can help you figure out why rules are not firing when you expect them to do so.
- Another tip for discovering why rules do not fire, is to use the flag -dverbose-core2core, which (amongst other things) produces the AST after every rule is fired. This can help you to examine whether one rule is creating an expression that thereby prevents another rule from firing, for example.
- You need to be careful that your identifiers aren't inlined before your RULES have a chance to fire. To control this we add an INLINE [1] pragma to identifiers we want to match in rules, to ensure they haven't disappeared by the time the rule matching comes around.
1.2 Example: map
(This example code is taken from GHC's base/GHC/Base.lhs module.)
map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b] map _ [] = [] map f (x:xs) = f x : map f xs
mapFB :: (elt -> lst -> lst) -> (a -> elt) -> a -> lst -> lst {-# INLINE [0] mapFB #-} mapFB c f x ys = c (f x) ys
The rules for map work like this.
Up to (but not including) phase 1, we use the "map" rule to rewrite all saturated applications of map with its build/fold form, hoping for fusion to happen. In phase 1 and 0, we switch off that rule, inline build, and switch on the "mapList" rule, which rewrites the foldr/mapFB thing back into plain map.
It's important that these two rules aren't both active at once (along with build's unfolding) else we'd get an infinite loop in the rules. Hence the activation control below.
The "mapFB" rule optimises compositions of map.
This same pattern is followed by many other functions: e.g. append, filter, iterate, repeat, etc.
{-# RULES "map" [~1] forall f xs. map f xs = build (\c n -> foldr (mapFB c f) n xs) "mapList" [1] forall f. foldr (mapFB (:) f) [] = map f "mapFB" forall c f g. mapFB (mapFB c f) g = mapFB c (f.g) #-}
2 Questions
2.1 Order of rule-matching
For example, let's say we have two rules
"f->g" forall x y . f x (h y) = g x y "h->g" forall x . h x = g 0 x
and a fragment of the AST corresponding to
f a (h b)
Which rule will fire? "f->g" or "h->g"? (Each rule disables the other.)
Answer: rules are matched against the AST for expressions basically bottom-up rather than top-down. In this example, "h->g" is the rule that fires. But due to the nature of inlining and so on, there are absolutely no guarantees about this kind of behaviour. If you really need to control the order of matching, phase control is the only reliable mechanism.
