Crepe Truck To Debut This Week
It seems every week sees a newfangled food truck. This week is no exception. On Thursday, March 4th, Crepes Bonaparte, already a fixture at the Anaheim Farmers Market, will debut their own (wait for it) food truck named "Gaston". And it'll be cookin' up crepes with equally funny names like Spicy Apple Bottoms, PCH (Peanut Butter, Chocolate & Honey), and In Da Club (which unfortunately, despite the moniker, will cost a bit more than 50 Cent)
Wanna meet up with Gaston? It will be at the Downtown Anaheim Farmer's Market & Craft Fair on Thursday, March 4th, noon - 7 p.m.

Prepare to have a drone as your neighbor. A new Defense Department report dated April 2012 and published online late last week by the Federation of American Scientists indicates that 110 potential bases for drone operations are in the planning stage.
Military installations in 39 states, from Georgia to California, could support all kinds of drones, from the deadly, missile-capable Predators to the next-generation surveillance Global Hawks.
The Pentagon now has some 7,000 aerial drones, compared with fewer than 50 a decade ago, and asked Congress for nearly $5 billion for drones in the 2012 budget. The U.S. military plans to add another 2,076 by 2017 according to the report. Click here to read the chilling Defense Department report.
The following map depicts the approximate locations of current and planned Department of Defense unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) activities inside the U.S.
As reported by The New York Times…
A new federal law , signed by President Obama on Feb. 14, 2012, compels the Federal Aviation Administration to allow drones to be used for all sorts of commercial endeavors — from selling real estate and dusting crops, to monitoring oil spills and wildlife, even shooting Hollywood films. Local police and emergency services will also be freer to send up their own drones.
But while businesses, and drone manufacturers especially, are celebrating the opening of the skies to these unmanned aerial vehicles, the law raises new worries about how much detail the drones will capture about lives down below — and what will be done with that information. Safety concerns like midair collisions and property damage on the ground are also an issue.
American courts have generally permitted surveillance of private property from public airspace. But scholars of privacy law expect that the likely proliferation of drones will force Americans to re-examine how much surveillance they are comfortable with.
Under the new law, the F.A.A. must allow police and first responders to fly drones under 4.4 pounds, as long as they keep them under an altitude of 400 feet and meet other requirements. The agency must also allow for "the safe integration" of all kinds of drones into American airspace, including those for commercial uses, by Sept. 30, 2015. And it must come up with a plan for certifying operators and handling airspace safety issues, among other rules.
The new law, part of a broader financing bill for the F.A.A., came after intense lobbying by drone makers and potential customers. In February 2011, researchers unveiled a hummingbird drone, built by the firm Aero Vironment for the secretive Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which can fly at 11 miles per hour and perch on a windowsill. One of the smallest drones in use on the battlefield is the three-foot-long Raven, which troops in Afghanistan toss by hand like a model airplane to peer over the next hill.
Citizens Alarmed…
There's concern among the American people that government and private-sector drones will be used to gather information on them without their knowledge. They fear that by giving drones greater access to U.S. skies moves the nation closer to a surveillance society in which our every move is monitored, tracked, recorded and scrutinized by the authorities. That fear was echoed by the American Civil Liberties Unionin a report last December.
An ACLU lobbyist, Chris Calabrese, said that when he speaks to audiences about privacy issues, drones are what "everybody just perks up over. People are interested in the technology, they are interested in the implications and they worry about being under surveillance from the skies," he said.
In another report titled Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD) 14-1 Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (IRS) Planning, Resources, and Operations is this statement "Collected imagery may incidentally include US persons or private property without consent,". It goes on to say that the Air Force has "a period not to exceed 90 days" to get rid of any collected information while it determines "whether that information may be collected under the provisions" of a Pentagon directive that authorizes limited domestic spying.
One has to wonder if the current administration believes that everyday Americans are the enemy and to ask since the use of this technology is so invasive, why are our borders are still unsecured.

New Nokia Lumia 925 ad shows how the Remove Object feature can make your life better
0. phoneArena 02 Sep 2013, 18:26 posted on
Earlier on Monday, we showed you how Nokia used a mobile billboard to pop Samsung's bubble with a Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom ad; now, Nokia has a new television spot that shows off a feature called Remove Object. The aptly named feature allows users to remove unwanted objects from photographs after they are already taken...

Isnt this a feature Samsung already implemented with the S4? The commercial where the lady removes the jerk from the graduation picture?
5. Penny (Posts: 1665; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
Yeah, it's the same feature, and it's been available on Windows Phone too. This is just an ad for it.

It's a feature called Smart Shoot that's already available for the Lumia 920/820 months before the announcement of the Galaxy S4.

CHris Matthews
Chris Matthews says Phil Donohue hates America.
Chris Mathews squirms under questioning from Phil Donahue before the invasion of Iraq about whether reporters are too chummy with those they cover. Mathews kept his job on television. Donahue didn't. Is he a sycophantic hypocrite? How long did it take him to wash the stink of Bush's ass off his head? Is his career sucking up to the powerful good for our society or just for Chris Mathews? Comedian Jimmy Dore, political analyst Ben Mankiewicz (Host, Turner Classic Movies) and Dave Rubin (Rubin Report) break it all down on this installment of The Jimmy Dore Show.

This Week:
Chris Matthews is a focus this week because he went on a tirade at a media convention where he claimed that stuff like the Iraq war
wouldn't happen today because we have 24/7 cable news. Well, we actually did a little checking and it turns out that there was cable news during the run up to the Iraq war.
And get this, Chris Matthews actually had his own show on a cable news network during the run up to the Iraq war too! He says lots of other crazy stuff too, I mean CRAZY. After hearing this you will wonder where exactly this guy gets the balls to make fun of Michele Bachman.
Donald Trump: I used to refer to Donald Trump as Mike "The Situation" with money. But now Mike "The Situation" actually
does have money. So I guess the only thing that separates them now is ….abs. We also find out that Trump and Fredo have a lot in common.
Lizz Winstead was nice enough to talk with us. is the creator of "The Daily Show" and the author of the new book "Lizz Free or Die", " She writes of getting knocked up by her hockey player boyfriend in high school, spending a fortune on her dogs' waste problems, and saying goodbye to her dying father with understated insight and, of course, humor—reminding us of its value as an antidote to both political and personal hardship."
Plus Mike MacRae is on fire again this week with a great Mitt Romney Phone call written by Frank Coniff, and we talk with Ron Paul and Paula Dean!

6x6 post is off center of concrete footer
To begin with, thanks in advance to all who respond as I do appreciate your advice.
I have poured 4 footings each being 24" in diameter and 12" thick with rebar. These are to support a second floor storage area rated a 60 psf in a 40'x60' pole barn. The footings are as needed by a structural plan drawn and approved by an architect. My problem is two of the four are off center so when I set my posts they will be as much as five to six inches off center. My concern is that the footing will possibly want to tilt as the weight from the structure is not resting exactly in the center of the footing. The earth below the footings is virgin and there is roughly three inches of #2 stone under each footing. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks,Walt
Your best bet is to ask the architect that drew the plan.
It's his licence and stamp on the line.
Thats why you make them 24x24, gives you room to wiggle. If your all the way to 1 edge id be concerned
But i agree a phone call to arch is easy.
I'd like to know how you could even get them that far off.
I have left several messages for this guy with no response. Once he got my money it has been very little communication since. Interesting part is I paid his price as soon as the drawings were ready and he said he would give me one hour of questions at no charge. I've even offered to pay him to answer a couple of questions since with no response. Only made one change in his drawings so it's not like I bothered him. Last time I spoke with him he was buried in a big project. I want to set my posts tomorrow and am tired of waiting on him, hence my question here on DIY.
Yes his stamp is on the line and while I had to go to an appointment the last two were poured without my supervision and you know the end result.
Oh ya been there done that.
I've made them tear it out and redo it for free, don't like it leave.
Installed all the sheathing on a roof with the H clips on the ends so they were sitting on top of the trusses, not between them. (done by a so called "Pro roofer")
Set deck post so shallow I could tip them over with one hand.
Painter shows up to spray paint a house and ends up getting paint all over the gutters, (which he was told to remove and he agreed) my generator and a car in the yard. Painted a metal door that gets direct sun with Hunter green paint instead of the white I had told him to paint it. Dark colors on any exposted door will distroy the door, wish it did.
So ya I know how poop happens.
Yep, you turn your back and look what happens. I don't think mine are so far off they need replaced but I want some reassurance before i set the posts. Actually I probably can set them so at least 2" of the 6x6 is centered in the pad. Thanks
If they are so far off that you have to "fudge" to get a 6x6 on 2" on the pad, it is bad. If the 2" referred to the center of the post being within 2" of the center of the pad it is hard to tell what is considered the "center of the pad".
If you cannot get an answer from the calls, send him a letter informing of the problem and give him a chance to reply and say you will contact another engineer.
Since he already gave you some free consulting on something else, he may charge for an opinion since it is out of the range of what he was hired to do. You would have to pay another person for a professional opinion and time involved to see and understand what the situation actually is since verbal discussions are not always accurate to both parties.
The description you gave is difficult to really understand since a 24" diameter footing being 12" thick is somewhat confusing since round footings are unusual unless they a Sonotube cylinder that goes deeper. It does not sound like a big problem, but you are concerned on your end.
Maybe I didn't explain the 2" properly. My worst case scenario is the center of my 6x6 (actually 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 ) post will be as much as 4" from the center of the 24" diameter slab. So roughly 1/3 of my post will be within the 5 1/2" square in the center of the slab. Regarding the architect, my one change I made was included in my final cost so he actually owes me some consulting time at no charge. There is no reason why he should not answer my calls. The 24" diameter was originally a 24" square pad but since the holes are 4' deep is was obviously easier to do them 24" round. The architect did his calculations and the 24" round slab was well within his limits. The more I think about this the more I think it will be ok. Thanks
The change was made before he finished and it was minor so I don't think he actually charged me any extra. Actually he didn't as my final cost was what he originally quoted. Thanks
Actually structural changes can be made as he simply makes them, stamps them and I give the update to the building dept. Getting back to my original question. Do you have the knowledge to give a fair opinion? Thanks
code for footings in my area used to be 4 inch of footing sticking out past the edge of the foundation, piers, etc... Now they have changed it to only needing 2" of footing sticking past the edge. that does not really help your situation but gives some reference to accepted codes for my area in North Carolina.
If you are down 4' with your footing depth and the earth down around the footing at the 4' depth is undisturbed you have that in your favor for lateral footing strength, plus the size of the pole has a lot to do with it as a large diameter pole would distribute more of its weight across the top surface of the footing as apposed to a smaller diameter pole pressing down on one edge of the footing, see what I mean? Where the pole comes closest to the footings edge,how far from the edge is it going to be? Thanks

To do this, I wrote a cython mathlink function that calls h5py, a
python wrapper of the hdf5 libraries. With h5py, it's trivial to read
slices of hdf5 dataset matrices.
data = HDF5ReadRows[filename, dataset, start, end];
The corresponding code snippet in my mathlink function is:
h5 = h5py.File(filename, 'r')
data = h5[dataset][start:end][:]
in case anyone else has to do this.

Staff were friendly and helpful and spoke flawless English, without exception. Hotel decor in corridors was a bit gloomy - all grey walls.
Breakfast buffet was excellent, location ideal for city visit with kids. Very courteous staff. Hotel restaurant was also very accommodating to our little ones at dinnertime. Our bed was comprised of two singles put together. Oddly, the beds had wheels and there was no way to attach them together or stop the wheels from rolling. Consequently, with a small child between us, it was difficult to keep him from slipping between the two without keeping on one mattress or the other, largely defeating the purpose of the "larger" bed!
Staff were attentive, friendly and professional.
Comfort of room very good
hotel is excellent located to visit Gent. -shower needs badly a thermostatic regulated valve. -touristic info on Gent available at the hotel is poor
mooi hotel, goede locatie midden in het centrum!! Mooie schone kamers en vriendelijk personeel.
The rooms are quiet and spacious The Reception staff where always dour, never cheerfull and no houmour
Location excellent, beds good, smart lobby. This place was dissapointing, huge spacious wide corridors led to average sized rooms, why? Rooms were designed in rather cold unwelcoming style, showers poor, really bad and really expensive cocktails, overpriced breakfast. My advice? Go stay at the Marriot, its cheaper and much nicer overall!
as good as always has beengood location, good rooms, good staff
large rooms big soft bed easy to find 5minutes on tram 1 from railway station
Our reservation was confirmed and when we arrived at 10 p.m. the hotel manager informed us that the hotel is full and refused to accomodate us referring to a problem with computer program. Hard to believe it could be at Marriot Hotel!!! We had to spend the night looking for another hotel.
The central location for wonderful walks exploring this extremely pretty city.
quality service
Just about everything -- the Poppi bar, the room, the hotel's architecture, the location, the staff, the food. And what a Mojito! The only thing that we disliked is the elevator that takes you to the Parking Garage. You need to press 2 buttons to get to the correct level, and I often had to try this 3 times to get it right. A 2 star elevator in a 5 star hotel. But, otherwise, the hotel was fantastic.
very pleassant open entrance of the parking
Hotel stuff is very good. Location & design of hotel are outstanding.
Location of the hotel. Limited capacity of breakfast facilities on a busy weekend.
Nice and clean rooms. excellent location in the historical centre of Gent. The price for the room is extra ordinary and an extra pay of 23,-€ per person per night for an ordinary breakfast buffet is to high. There was nothing what excuses the price in comparision to other hotels.
Great hotel and the staff are very helpfull and a lovely comfortable hotel
Having stayed here before what I can stay is I feel very, very comfortble when I stay here. The rooms are excellent and the staff are all extremely friendly. The hotel is close to the centre and very good restaurants are to be found within a five minute radius. All in all a fine place to stay.
Toprooms have superb view
Spacious room with luxury bathroom. Hotel situated on canal side in historic centre, but quiet. Generous choice at breakfast. Staff aimed to helpful, but did not know about current diversion of nearest tram service due to road works.
The room was large with very modern styling. It had plenty of storage space and the enormous bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast was beautifully presented with a wide range of choice from the buffet. All staff were very friendly. No complaints whatsoever.
Insufficient lighting
Very comfortable and modern room
If you want to visit the center of Gent the location of this hotel is perfect. The children can even have a swim on one of the rooftops when it's nice weather. The way to our room wasn't very nice; through the lobby and a hallway, then outside at the back, down an outside stairs, across the entrance of the parking garage, up in an elevator.
Very friendly and accommodating staff, small quiet hotel. Perfect location, beautiful clean and luxurious rooms.
Very nice hotel. Great big room with canal view. The staff was was very friendly.
Cool rustic room in a hotel with more modern rooms too. Good sized bathroom. Nearby all the things I wanted to see but not on a main road so it was quiet. My room as pretty cool but a bit dark.
i love the location the most. the hotel is really nice located by the canel which is nice. everything is great, but the toilet i can smell pee pee which ruin everthing.
The situation of the rooms with view on the water. To expensive for the quality of the room.
Fantastic Breakfast in a pleasant room. room was a bit cramped
Nice location, comfortable, clean room and facilities. Good and generous breakfast although we missed it a couple days due to poor communication at the front desk. We arrived in Ghent very late 11 PM. Reception desk was confused and sent us to the wrong room. It was occupied by naked people who were busy on the bed when we walked in. Amusing for us but very embarrassing for the hotel clerk. He compensated with free beer and apologies. In the excitement he forgot to tell us the breakfast area was located on the 3rd floor. We missed breakfast the first 2 mornings. Another minor irritation was the same dirty coffee cup was left in the room for 3 days, while the bed and everything else was cleaned up. Despite the small gaffes the staff were mostly friendly and helpful and the hotel was nice. We would stay here again.
It's a new and supernice hotel located very centrally. The staff is extremely helpfull.
Handy to town centre and good quality hotel
The location is excelent. The room we stayd in was in touch with the room of the cleaness (it even had a door conecting booth rooms). So, early in the moorning we couldn´t sleep with the noise of the hotel staff!! Not pleasant, this room should not be rented to anyone!!
Good position close to the centre. Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable spacious room and excellent breakfast.
I liked the location, the modern style and the breakfast room on the roof. Staying for only one night I felt the room was a bit dark and dismal looking onto some parked cars and not one of the better rooms.Because the weather was very miserable I would have liked the ability/ choice to have had more lights on if I wanted them would have been useful. I would have liked to have been able to check in before 4pm.
Excellent location, very modern. Sound proofing between rooms not good. Room 2.20 is to be avoided as the breadfast room outside portion is right above it, and from 7.30 am people scrape chairs around and one can hear people talking as if they are in the room...! Probably any other room is excellent!
Comfortable hotel close proximity to the centre, modern facilities ideal for the business trip. Staff very helpful when problems were reported. Lack of attention to detail, the wifi system gave problems as did the door entry system. The lift failed but no messages on each floor to advise guests.
Good hotel in excellent location. Ghent is gorgeous and will be even better when it's finished. Easy stroll to all the main tourist sights and brilliant bars.
The location was excellent, it was in the old part of the town & was in a beautiful location with the Christmas market just at the side of it. the tourist infomation is 100m (away) and the main tram stop is 200m (approx) away. the breakfast was first class with a selection of a continental or more fimiliar english style breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausages) this hotel is in a perfect location for seeing all the attractions of the city.it was clean and comfortable. they also offer free use of a sauna and steamroom.
Central location. Bog-standard, somewhat dirty hotel with unhelpful staff. Impossible to get to by car!!! Don't even try... I parked 100m from the hotel but it took me 1/2 hour to get to the parking, by which time the receptionist had let the car park fill up- despite knowing I was on my way.
Good location and comfortable. Difficult to find due to road closures, parking under the hotel not easy.
The location is great. The hotel is right in the center of the city and almost everything you will want to see is within walking distance. The hotel is clean and well kept. It's an international chain and lacks charm.
the location was perfect the atmosphere in the hotel was not so cosy
Central location The bathroom floor and shower base needed a real scrub with bleach, they were dirty and moldy. The breakfast cost 18 euros each which we didnt want to spend so went to the nearby Pain Quotidien for a delicious fresh and much cheaper breakfast. Parking was also impossible as the streets are blocked with roadworks and pedestrian zones, so our GPS took a long time to help us locate the hotel. I think the hotel owners/website should include a map of how to best navigate the city. Too expensive for an ordinary and basic room.
the bed was really big and room too.
Really helpful and friendly staff. Clean and comfortable. Will definatly be staying at this hotel again. Quite difficult to find hotel parking due to one way systems and pedestrian streets but hotel staff were brilliant with directions.
The hotel is convenient for the centre and is in easy walking distance of the main sites of Ghent Check in time is advertised as being 14.00 however, we arrived at 15.45 and our room was not ready,
Everything about our stay at De Waterzooi was perfect. From the minute we were greeted to the moment we left, waving to Kay the owner, we totally enjoyed our stay. The views are spectacular (3 towers from the back balcony and Gravensteen castle while sitting in the living room), the Phara suite really big and filled with everything you would ever need. The best part though is breakfast... on both mornings it was fantastic, easily the best breakfast I've ever eaten. We really hated to leave, and hope to return for more than 2 days next time!
Best class in all aspects, very welcoming, beautiful, style, views, management, confort, renovation, and last but not least the Bed and the Breakfast. Special thanks to the owners, the managers and the operators (Kay and Christian) who will make you feel better than at home.
The location near where I was having meetings
The location was excellent. Right in the heart of the City. The room was warm and comfortable and had a nice view of the Cathedral. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was a gd size with an excellent shower. B/fast choice was excellent. Luckily we had a small car that fitted into the underground garage with little fuss. It cost E15 for a night but compared with prices outside was reasonable and we could keep the car safe after check-out the following day. B/fast was E14 pp but again reasonable compared with prices outside. A Receptionist had a bit of attitude whan we wanted to pay by cash because the Hotel had already debited our Credit Card. She quoted "we should of the read the small print". I was not amused!
The location is excellent. Staff was welcomng and helpful. Housekeeping was good. Doors banging early in the morning could be heard too easily.
The location was excellent and the room was clean. It was very central to the city.
The staff, specifically the front desk staff, was extremely helpful!
location; breakfast
As will all Ibis hotels, they play awful american pop music on their loudpeakers. It is especially annoying at breakfast.
The room was very comfortable and well-furnished. The view from the room overlooking the square was spectacular.
it is ideally placed to explore the historic town centre your breakfast is over priced- it would have been better value going to a local cafe for coffee & croissants!
put us on the 4th floor in the new building and room was larger than expected. Close to everything you want in Ghent. breakfast was great
Location - breakfast Absence of reasonably sized public rooms
friendly personnel, nice building, very good location none
location, breakfast, freindly service.
The appearance of the entrance was very grand and impressive, however the newer part out the back and the rooms weren't as nice I was concerned the reception staff didn't have heating that was effective enough to keep them warm. The area may need to be enclosed for them.
The location That it is not a chain hotel but a unique one Room was very small and minimalist
The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect for visiting Gent, right around the corner from Gravensteen.The staff is among the friendliest and most helpfull I have encountered. The breakfast was a feast well up to my swedish high breakfast standards. I had everything i needed and more at Hotel Gravensteen, I do hope I will get a chance to come back!
Room was very small, WIFI should be free of charge
location half finished carpeting in hall.
The room, especially the bathroom and the breakfast facilties
Nothing, the only one positive side is that is in the city centre. The room was very old fashoned and not clean. TV din't work, one window was broken. Even if we didn't need it there is no air conditioning.Breakfast was very poor. I would stay far from this hotel in future.
Excellent location! Nice room and breakfast for a good price. The towels could be better.
Access to the town centre external and reception hall appearance very disappointing limited breakfast facilities and small eating area
The location in the hart of the city is great Low level of comfort; old matrass and small pillows; a bit shabby for its price
The staff; receptiondesk, breakfast
Very central location for the historic district. The hotel was an authentic old building. The bathroom in our hotel room was very small and probably not usable by someone of larger than average size. The dining room was very crowded at breakfast and a lot of people had to share tables.
First of all the location of hotel in perfect. It is near Ghent's old cc so you don't have to walk for a long distance to reach the post office historical building or the clock tower. Easy access to the shopping area and restaurants. Hotel staff are very helpful and polite.the room was nice and bath room was somehow large. On top of that opposite to the hotel there was a music school which was amazing for me because all day I woke up on the sound of music. Elevator was so small but I guess it is ok based on the EU standards
cetre location no bar
Helpful staff
in the middle of the centre. Close to everything A lot of street-noise entered the room
helpful staff, excellent buffet breakfast, BBC channels on TV nothing
The room is everything you expect from a small continential hotel, large beautiful ceilings, great furniture, huge bathroom. Really liked the hotel and the room. Great spot too for shopping, culture and nightlife.
rather do it yourself decoration . not what I expected. Monica Roberti under standard expected
Very clean, quiet and private, and excellent value for money. Very attentive staff.
Personal service, staff couldn't do enough for us very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The hotelier's English was very good and she gave us lots of information of where to visit, pubs, restaurants etc. The breakfast was lovely and we liked the buffet style. I also liked the fact that our car was locked up safe in the hotels garage. A very pleasant stay and we hope to come back. Would like tea and coffe facilities in the room
Good location, big room, friendly staff and good breakfast. Easy to find and a couple of nightshops in the street. Good value for money. Nothing
The car parking was good. No lift and broken banister on top flight of stairs. No drink making facilities. Broken toilet and lack of information about the hotel
The friendliness and assistance of the staff, the excellent location in centre of Ghent and garage parking facility.
relaxing atmosphere nothing
The hotel is in a very good position for the centre of Gent.Parking was not to much of a problem either. Hotel staff were helpful and friendly and the food was excellent, with a very good choice at breakfast No lift which is a problem for disabled persons. Tends to suffer from traffic and late night revellers noise in the room that we had.
Staff were really nice and frinedly and helpful, and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent. Might have gone for an en-suite room.
The kindness of the staff and the view from my room.
I dealt with the Receptionist and she arranged the keys to be kept in a key safe allowing me a late check in. She gave directions where to park and the route from the car park to the Hotel. Breakfast was good and buffet was constantly being added to as it was used. The staff were pleasant and polite and the general cleanliness was of a high standard. The rooms could do with a makeover and the modernisation of the whole hotel will help. In room facilities like coffee and tea would be a great advantage especially for the late arrivals and having a snack/drinks vending machine on site will be a great success and profitable as well. The Key safe was difficut to operate as the key for the room that I had were a little too large for the Key safe.
It is a lovely hotel. Perfect for visiting Ghent. Our room was cheerful and pleasant, the view spectacular, the staff friendly and helpful Lovely breakfast in a charming breakfast room. Quiet. We were delighted. Thanks. No complaints at all (except is there a way to avoid rain in November?). Our thanks. We would recommend this hotel and hope to stay again (with better weather).
The breakfast was very good. The location was awesome. You are in the heart of the historical center.
Everything! Nothing.
The city centre close to the hotel. The breakfast was not very rich.
Breakfast The room was very poorly decorated and furnished and was next to the hotel.
Location. Quiet. Heating is low in the bedrooms. Very old furniture. Some cracks on the walls
The staff were really friendly and helpful. The bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. The location simply could not be better - right by St Bavo's Cathedral and the Belfry, and just a short walk to the nearest canal and restaurants. Breakfast was better than I've had in hotels with three or four stars, with really strong coffee. The reception area is quirky and appealing with a selection of books in a selection of languages, two sofas on which to sit and read them, and a life-size puppet of an old lady sitting reading (see what I mean when I said quirky). We thought the hotel was excellent value for money. Some people might find the room a bit small (the bed was lovely and large, which made the room look a bit small, in my view). The decor was perhaps a bit old. However, these are really minor "complaints"; the friendliness of the staff, the comfort of the beds, the excellent breakfast and ideal location far, far outweigh these.

The Texans think they solved their problems at the No. 2 wide receiver spot with the drafting of DeAndre Hopkins this year. The reports so far have been very positive on that front.
Now, what will the Texans do with their No. 1 wide receiver spot? Yes, the one that has been locked down by Andre Johnson for the past decade. He is coming off one of the most productive seasons of his career, but according to Len Pasquarelli of National Football Post, "some opponents suggest that Johnson has perhaps lost a half-step and isn't as explosive."
Pasquarelli adds that the Texans "privately allowed there is a need to start developing one of the other young wide receivers as well."
Fantasy Analysis:
He's talking about you, Devier Posey, Lestar Jean and/or Keshawn Martin .
I don't doubt that Johnson has lost a bit of pop. He turns 32 years old in a few days, so that only makes sense. But as he showed last year, Johnson can still play at an elite level in this league. I have been more than happy to take him in the third round of mock drafts.

While I started my previous blog post with the observation that KACST was not a "city," Caroline Spicer, Strategy and Market Development Leader for IBM Global Business Services, made the point later in the day that there is not "a city" but many models of cities depending on future vision. There are a couple of points to draw out here. There is not one model of a smart city. Cities can focus on particular initiatives based on their leaders' (and their constituents') priorities and vision for the future of the city. As Caroline pointed out these might be:

Very smart, I say.
Here I sit finally getting a chance to reflect on my 30 hours in Saudi Arabia. Yes, just a little more than one day. But one day was enough to change any preconception that I might have had, and spark my interest to learn more. My "day" started with the VIP treatment through passport control – which I must say was much appreciated. The airport in Riyadh is certainly not Dubai International – far from it. But if there were any disappointment at the inauspicious first impression, it stopped there. Although to set the stage, I was invited to Saudi Arabia by IBM to participate in an analyst event showcasing "Smarter Cities" initiatives in the Kingdom. So admittedly, I was only presented the "smart" side of Riyadh. I am eager to see more.

Oil Problem
I am having an oil loss problem that I have researched and attempted to repair but am struggling to find the right solution.
I have a 2002 325i M52 that is losing about 1 qt of oil every 500 miles.
I have approx 150k miles on the car and use Mobil 0w-40 oil. I have done a fair amount of research on the issue.
I have never had oil leakage on the ground or on the plastic cover on the underside of the engine. To date I have replaced the valve cover gasket, the oil filter housing gasket, and the ccv with all new hoses. When I did the ccv about 45 days ago there was considerable yellow sludge in the ccv and the hose that goes to the dipstick. The inlet at the dipstick was backed up with gunk as well. To clean the dipstick tube I used compressed air to blow it out (without removing the tube itself). I have now gone around another 1000 miles and have lost about 2 qts of oil. This weekend I took the hose off of the dipstick tube and there was more yellow sludge backed up in the tube and hose. This time I removed the dipstick tube and thoroughly cleaned it, as well as, the hose that leads into the dipstick tube. There was thick yellow sludge about the consistency of mustard there.
I have had this oil problem for quite awhile and am frustrated with it. I would like to hear if anyone has a solution.
Thanks in advance.

Did you check your old oil after the last change? any coolant mix? check your ET for mixed oil with the coolant.
If all is well, check your compression. See if your burning oil when high rpms. If the exhaust is blue, that's your lost oil.

I may be incorrect, but I was under the impression that the yellow substance in the oil is caused from moisture condensation within the oil. I will post a quote from fellow member JFOJ. Very helpful post plus he has many other very helpful posts if you search for them.
JFOJ's typing below.
Crankcase water vapor build up and/or CCV Freeze Up is typically caused when excess water vapor or an oil/water mixture (we will call mayonnaise) cannot be "cooked" or boiled out to the crankcase due to short drives, usually less than 20 minutes, in close to or below freezing ambient air temperatures.
The best approach to dealing with the "mayo" problem is management. When ambient overnight temperatures are near or below 40F, you should really check your oil and oil fill cap at least once per week, usually later in the week before the weekend hits so if you are having a "mayo" problem, you can plan an extended weekend trip that includes highway speeds and will last approximately 30-40 minutes or more. Also verify the engine thermostat is also working properly and bring then engine up to full operating temperature. Once you start checking your oil and the underside of your oil fill cap once a week, you can adjust your driving habits as needed to get the "mayo" issue under control. Just so everyone is aware, this is not just a BMW problem, this is a problem that plagues many manufactures and models and even if you own other cars or trucks you should them for moisture build up in the crankcase.
This moisture can and will freeze and block the CCV's ability to drain oil and equalize pressures if not properly managed during very cold, sub freezing temperatures. Of the CCV is filled with "mayo", the oil/water mixture can freeze, possibly split the CCV housing, allow excessive crankcase pressures to build up to the point that the valve cover gasket and/or valve cover can become damaged and/or split. Then the oil in the crankcase can be siphoned or sucked directly into the intake depending on how bad the freeze up is and cause very heavy exhaust smoke or in more severe cases causing the oil to be sucked into the engine very quickly causing the engine to stall because of hydro lock and possibly cause serious, catastrophic and expensive engine damage. CCV freeze up is not a directly a result of a bad thermostat, however, a weak or bad thermostat along with short driving trips of less than 25 minutes in the Winter at ambient temps close to or below freezing can be a big contributor to water vapor build up in the crankcase. You have to constantly monitor and manage the water vapor build up in the crankcase during the colder months or you will have a big problem on your hand when the CCV freezes and likely cracks.
The CCV freeze up can also cause valve cover gasket failure and/cracked valve cover due to unexpected crankcase pressure differences. This mayonnaise is a yellow puffy looking sludge that will also form on the underside of the oil fill cap. Mayonnaise is usually in indicator of low coolant temps, short drives in cold weather and a CCV system that is not working correctly.
Since we have AGAIN seen a lot of issues with CCV freeze ups and yellow/brown mayo or goo on the underside of the oil fill cap in the sub freezing weather again this season, I thought I would add a number of links regarding CCV freeze ups and issues about the CCV oil drain system. One item that commonly gets overlooks during CCV replacement is the dipstick tube. The original dipstick tube is a double walled tube that can clog easily. You can remove and clean the base of the dipstick tube or replaced it at a big expense with a updated single wall dipstick tube.

How possible national debt default could impact Montanans
BOZEMAN, Mont. - The government shutdown is not the only thing looming in Washington D.C. as the deadline for dealing with the debt ceiling inches closer. If federal lawmakers do not raise the debt ceiling, the U.S. will default on its debt for the first time in history.
The United States is reaching its breaking point in terms of how much money we can borrow from any source as we near our limit of 16.7 trillion dollars.
President Obama says the consequences of not raising our nation's debt could be huge.
"If Congress refuses to raise what is called the debt ceiling, America would not be able to meet all of our financial obligations for the first time in 225 years," said Obama.
But republicans say they think there's a better solution.
"On the debt limit we're going to introduce a plan that ties important spending cuts and pro-growth reforms to a debt limit increase," said Boehner.
The debt ceiling is a limit set by congress. It is the maximum amount of money our country can borrow from any source. Similar to a person reaching the maximum spending limit on a credit card, then asking the credit card company to raise the borrowing limit.
To figure out how this deadline could impact people here in Montana, we spoke to Vince Smith, professor of economics at MSU. He tells us if congress defaults, interest rates could rise.
"If you get to borrow, you will likely be charged a higher interest rate because you are viewed as a more risky borrower," said Smith.
This means it could be harder for you to make any purchases through loans or credit.
"To reduce the ability of the average Montana family to buy a home, to buy a new car, or to use credit to acquire goods and services," said Smith.
There is also the possibility the government will makes cut spending on certain programs like social security, food stamps and student aid.
"If the government has less dollars to spend, they are going to spend less in every state including ours," said Smith.
With our nation in the middle of a government shutdown,and the clock ticking on a deadline for the debt ceiling decision, Smith tells us what he thinks this says about the state of our economy.
"It says much less about the productive capacity of the United States, it says a lot about the political failure in Washington D.C.," said Smith.
According to the U.S. Department of Treasury's website, since 1960, Congress has acted 78 times to raise, extend, or revise the definition of the debt limit. Officials from both sides of the political aisle are expected to meet on Thursday to discuss possible solutions. The deadline they are facing is October 17th. Some experts say a short term extension is possible.

Our cheer mats are resilient, offering anti-fatigue technologies to keep you (or your little one) safe through hours of high impact practice. Our cheerleading mats are portable and stylish, allowing you to place your mat just about anywhere with ease and charm. We offer the fastest lead times on cheer floor mats with free shipping on every mat. That means you will receive your new mat quickly and with no additional costs.
Give me a C! Ohhhh, you got your C, you got your C. Give me an H! Ohhhh, you've got your H, you've got your H. Give me an E, E, R! What does that spell?! Okay, so it's probably a good thing that you're the cheerleader because, clearly, we are not very good at it. That's okay, because you know what we are excellent at? Cheer Mats! We have perfected the flooring so that you can perfect the cheering. But how can you perfect your cheers when you only have practice one day per week? I'm pretty sure you mom and dad don't want you jumping around on the hard tile. An at home cheerleading mat can give you the surface you need to become the star of the next Bring It On movie. Practice your cheers, tumbling and tricks on an at home cheer mat and you will be head cheerleader in no time!
Cheer mats are not the type of thing people traditionally purchase, so most people have more than a few questions when it comes to purchasing their cheer mat. How much do cheer mats cost? Where do I even go to buy cheer mats? Where can I find a good cheer mat sale? Don't worry, you've got questions, but we've got answers! First of all, you buy your cheerleading mats right here. Obviously. Our cheer mats typically range from anywhere from $50-$600, depending on which mat you purchase. Let's have a little chat about what your options are, shall we?
Portable, soft, safe, fun - those are all words you want to hear when you are choosing a tumbling mat or cheer mat. We offer traditional folding mats, junior folding mats for the wee ones and eco folding mats for anyone who loves a great deal. Our traditional folding mats come in 4 solid color options plus RAINBOW! Yes, rainbow. That one is super fun and exciting. Our folding mats are a great, portable and cost-effective solution for an at home cheer mat and, if you're like, "I want to buy my cheer mat cheap", but you don't want it to suck, check out our Eco Folding Mats for an even better deal with the same durability you'd expect from the rockstars at RubberFlooringInc.
One of our most popular products, our carpet-topped foam at home cheer mats are ultra durable and safe enough to be used as cheer mats for tumbling, gymnastics and, of course, cheering. If you're looking for the best cheer mats for home practicing, these babies are it! Lightweight, portable and easy to use, these at home cheer mats are the perfect solution to your cheer flooring needs.
Okay so there is a difference between practicing some basic cheers and doing forward and backwards rolls. Sometimes you get a cheer mat of all trades that can do all of it, but if tumbling if your focus, it's important to choose a cheer mat for tumbling; a mat that has been specifically designed for rolling, headstands, handstands and plenty of falls. Check out our Tumbling Mats for a mat that is certainly up to the challenge. In addition to typical cheer mats for tumbling, we also offer Incline Mats which are perfect for little ones just learning tumbling and gymnastic. They also make great slides down from the bed!
Cheer mats are supposed to be FUN! Of course we offer a simple black cheer mat, but we think you should be able to choose from various different colors to get exactly what you want. With 6 solid color options and a few multi colored, or as I like to call them, RAINBOW options, you're sure to find a cheer mat you love that can fit in with your home decor.
Our cheer mats come in a wide range of thickness options. Thicker cheer mats are, typically, more durable and safe for falls. Be sure to check the thickness of your desired cheer mat to make sure it is appropriate for your usage. Available thickness options are:
Guess what! All of our cheer mats come with free shipping! Most cheerleading mat orders are shipped through FedEx Ground. Some extremely heavy orders (like if you order ALL OF THE MATS) may ship via freight delivery. For more information on freight delivery, please contact one of our sales representatives to get the low down, as it varies on a case by case basis. Don't worry though you will not be asked to take your new tiles off the truck, we cover the cost of lift-gate and curbside. You are only responsible for getting the kids play mats inside your home and enjoying them!
Love your cheer mat? Snap a photo and send it over to firstname.lastname@example.com to be entered for a chance to win a $50 AmEx Gift Card! OR share on Facebook or Instagram and tag @RubberFlooringInc with hashtag #RubberFlooringInc, then send your shared URL to firstname.lastname@example.com. Want to win? Check out these tips!
1. Clean it up. Put away the stray objects, and get that room looking ready to impress to get the cleanest, most attractive shot of your floor.
2. Lighting, lighting, lighting! Is everything! Dark, evening shots will not get you the winning photo. Open the blinds and let that natural light shine in! If you really want to get fancy, take a look at where your light is coming from. Shooting directly into the light can come out harsh and blown out - try experimenting with different angles.
3. Action. We love photos of people enjoying our products and voters do too. We'd love to see the flooring in action.

Here are the rules of this dogster game of "tag" in case you've never gotten a chance to play. When you are tagged, you post 7 random facts about yourself, compose a "new DIARY entry" along with the rules and put them in your own DIARY. Then you pick 7 furs (kitties or doggies) to tag but make sure you tell them... a simple p-mail will do fine, or a rosette to tell them, but you must let them know that they have been tagged. Post their names also in your DIARY.
All about me, myself, and I:
1. I am one wild woman! I'm starting my 5th training class on Monday!!! I don't really like new people or dogs, but I am slowly learning to tolerate them.
2. I HATE diets!! I had to go on a strict diet because of my bad knees and boy I let my mom know how much I hated it!!! The good part is I get peanut butter with my medicine!!!
3. I actually LOVE to wear clothes!! Anytime I see my clothes I get VERY excited and start running around in circles!! I growl and act mean when someone tries to take my clothes off though!
4. I get to go to work with mommy 2 days a week now so that the Doctor can check my legs & see how I'm doing. I sure am beginning to like the doctor though which mom says is a VERY good thing considering I don't usually warm up to people quickly.
5. My middle name is Danielle. If mommy says "Athena Danielle" I come running cause I know I'm in BIG trouble if I don't come BOL The Danielle came because my mom's human sisters middle name is Danielle & mom says we're both spoiled rotten!
6. I'm really a Daddy's girl. Mom doesn't like to admit it because she wants me to be a mommy's girl...but if I have to pick a lap to sit in it's always Daddy's!!!
7. Snuggling under blankets is my FAVORITE thing to do!!! Any blanket, anywhere, with any family member!! BOL and I growl very mean when someone wakes me up!!
Guess who I tagged:
1. Rocky, #320513...my boyfriend!! He's wild like me!
2. Weeman, #494299...because he's a snuggler too!!
3. Fritz, #224882...because he's a rescue like my brother Hypnos!
4. Simba, #456794...because he's a pawsome blogger & I miss him since he's not around as much!!
5. Oscar, #498715...because he makes a cute Captain Jack Sparrow...and he's just one handsome pup!!! BOL
6. Oreo, #507792...because she's so adorable and I just love her!! And I'm hoping she's safe from the fires!!
7. Max, #371962..because he's one handsome rescue!!
Here it is- the newest craze going around Dogster! It's called "You are loved!" Here's how it goes: Pick 3 dogsters who you think are just fantastic and tell a little about why you feel that they are so pawsome! Be sure to tell them how much they are loved with a p-mail or a rosette! Isn't it hard to pick only 3?
I was tagged by Cashew!! I don't get to see Cashew in real life, but I love her on here!! She encourages me (and hopefully steals a few treats for me) while I'm on my crazy diet!!
Here goes for me just picking 3...but remember I love you ALL!!!
1. Rocky- I chose him because he is my crazy boyfriend! He sends me pawsome gifts BOL and we are a lot alike (I know our moms are thrilled BOL). We are both little devils in min pin bodies!
2. Abie-I chose her because she is SUPER adorable & she's new to the group & she needs a BIG welcome. I wish you luck with your new sister Maggie!!! If you need anything around here let me know & I'll try to help BOL
3. Ava Isabella-because she is SOOO pretty and I just love her & her sister Grayce! Isabella is an adopted dog just like my brother Hypnos & I think adopted dogs are just pawsome!!! :)
I wish I could list all of my bestest pup pals, but I can only choose 3 :(
Hey! My pals Raven & Cashew tagged me and now I'm it. I get to choose 7 of my pals to tag.
Here are the rules:
Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged, need to post in their Diary the rules & their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose 7 dogs to tag and list their names. Don't forget to bark them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your Diary, or, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged!
Here are 7 fun facts about me - Athena:
1. I only had one sibling at birth.

The Application of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in the Detection of Lower Limb Compartment Syndrome
- Full Text View
- Tabular View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study aims to determine how infrared spectroscopy compares to continuous compartment pressure monitoring in the detection of compartment syndrome.
Individuals meeting the study eligibility criteria will be identified at time of admission by the receiving Trauma and Orthopaedics Registrar who will be trained in the study design and protocols.
Eligible individuals will be approached about participating in the study either at time of admission or shortly afterwards, either by the chief investigator or another doctor trained in the research protocol. Where the individual is unconscious or otherwise incapacitated, which is likely in many major trauma victims, inclusion in the study will be discussed with the patient's legal representative and/or family.
The consent process for the study will consist of having the study protocol explained by either the chief investigator, or another doctor trained in the study design. Patients will be allowed to read a participant information sheet, and permitted as much time as they require to decide if they wish to participate in the study. Verbal and written consent will be taken using a study specific consent form.
In the case of incapacitated patients, the study design will be explained to their relatives' legal representatives as appropriate and advice sought from them as to whether they know of any reason why the patient might object to participate in the study. Upon regain capacity consent will be sought from the patient for storage and analysis of their study data.
Once consented, the patient will undergo monitoring with both continuous compartment pressures, and NIRS measurements.
Recordings for both techniques will be taken each hour, as part of the patients normal observations, from the point of consent until 24 hours after their first operation. Where patients do not have an operation the total duration of monitoring will be 24 hours. The measurements will be taken by nursing staff who have received training in both techniques. The procedure for each technique is described below:
Continuous compartment pressures will be recorded in the broken leg, in case of tibial fractures, in all other patients fitting the inclusion criteria measurements will be taken from both legs (as both legs are at risk of compartment syndrome).
Compartment pressures will be recorded using a slit catheter technique. Insertion of the slit catheter will be performed by either the chief investigator or Orthopaedic Registrar who will have been trained in the technique. The slit catheter is inserted using a sterile technique - the skin over the front outer part of the leg is cleaned and a catheter inserted into the anterior muscle compartment at this point. The catheter should be sited at the approximate midpoint of the leg, although this can be adjusted up or down if this would lead to insertion into a fracture site. The catheter is secured with a sterile dressing and connected to a monitor from which recordings can be taken, the catheter can be left in place for the duration of the study with no need to re-site it unless it stops recording accurately. At the same time as compartment pressure measurements are taken the patient's blood pressure will be monitored and the 'Perfusion Pressure' for the leg calculated, where:
Perfusion pressure = diastolic blood pressure - leg compartment pressure
- NIRS measurements will be taken with an the INVOS system, produced by Somentics. These measurements will be taken from both legs, the affected leg and other other leg used as a control for comparison. Where both legs are at risk measurements will be taken from both legs and the midpoint of the forearm used as a control.
The INVOS probe is a small adhesive patch that is stuck to the skin. The probe is sterile and will be attached using the same sterile technique as the compartment pressure catheter. Where the overlying skin is hairy the hair overlying the area for the probe should be clipped before attaching the probe, to ensure adequate adhesion and accurate readings. The probe is to be sited just below the compartment pressure catheter, although if there is an underlying haematoma (blood clot), then the probe should be positioned so at to avoid this but still remaining over the front outer part of the leg. This technique conforms with the manufacturers recommended use of the equipment and is similar protocol to previous studies.
At the end of the monitoring period both measuring devices are removed. If the patient has developed compartment syndrome during this period and required an operation, the NIRS probe and compartment pressure catheter will be replaced for a further 12 hours of monitoring to monitor the changes post-operatively and ensure compartment pressures stay low.

Apr 17, 2012 - By Christina George, Staff WriterA felon who had been at large since after mistakenly being released from the Wyoming State Penitentiary was arrested Monday at a Riverton residence.
Riverton Police Department Capt. Eric Murphy said his agency arrested Arthur Penrod, 28, of Rawlins, on a Wyoming Department of Corrections warrant at about 12:20 p.m. Monday.
Murphy said an officer in an unmarked car spotted Penrod taking out garbage at his girlfriend's house at 2401 Garnet Ave.
According to the Department of Corrections, Penrod was put on at-large status April 10 shortly after it was determined he had been wrongfully released from the penitentiary in Rawlins.
Penrod had finished a prison sentence for burglary and was scheduled to complete a consecutive sentence for aiding in an aggravated assault when he was released last week, the department said in a news release.
Murphy said a Casper law enforcement team was monitoring text messages and believed Penrod's girlfriend, Tonia Abeyta-Noriega, 24, lived in Riverton.
After learning the woman's address, Murphy said an investigator stood by at the home. Within 10 minutes, Murphy said the investigator got a possible ID on Penrod.
"(Penrod) walked outside and took the trash out," Murphy said.
Murphy said when officers knocked on the door and asked if Abeyta-Noriega was alone at the residence, she replied "yes."
"But (the investigator) saw him walk inside. So when somebody lies, they are interfering with our investigation," he said.
Abeyta-Noriega was arrested for interference and taken to the Fremont County Detention Center in Lander. She was expected to appear at Riverton Circuit Court on Tuesday.
Murphy said Penrod was arrested without incident.
"Our uniform guys arrived and arrested him," Murphy said. "They said he came out willingly and had his hands up and didn't give them any problems."
Penrod was taken to the police department.
"As soon as we got him back here we contacted the Department of Corrections in Rawlins, and they immediately sent a transportation team," Murphy said. "They picked him up at around 3 p.m. and went back to Rawlins."
The Department of Corrections is conducting an internal investigation concerning Penrod's wrongful release.

Complete 2011 Men's Tennis All-Ivy Release
Photos courtesy of Brown Sports Information and Princeton Athletic Communications
PRINCETON, N.J. -- To be voted Player of the Year in any sport is a great recognition. To receive that distinction as a unanimous selection is truly an honor.
That's what the Ivy League men's tennis coaches bestowed on Princeton sophomore Matija Pecotic (Sliema, Malta) as their unananimous choice as the League's 2010-11 Player of the Year and a unananimous first-team All-Ivy selection in singles.
Pecotic became the fourth Princeton men's tennis player to be named Player of the Year, following Reed Cordish in 1996, Judson Williams in 2002 and Peter Capkovic in 2008.
Pecotic put together an impressive sophomore campaign for the Tigers with a 23-4 overall singles record, including a perfect 7-0 against Ivy foes at No. 1 in the spring. He won 12 of his last 14 singles dual matches to finish the spring season at 15-4. Pecotic began the year with solid play throughout the fall tournament slate, reaching the final of the USTA/ITA Division I Northeast Regional Championships. In doubles play, he teamed with fellow sophomore Matt Siow for 15 overall wins, 10 of which came in spring dual matches.
Brown freshman Brandon Burke (Kingston, Jamaica) also had a superlative season for the Bears. His efforts were also rewarded by the League's coaches with the 2010-11 Rookie of the Year honor. Burke played at the top three singles spots for the Bears in the spring, compiling an 11-8 record, highlighted by an impressive 5-2 mark in Ivy play, which earned him second-team honors. Burke also received second-team recognition in doubles, partnering with fellow rookie Soufiane Azargui (Burlington, Ontario, Canada), who was also named to the second team in doubles.
Burke was just the second men's tennis player in Brown history to be named Rookie of the Year. Jamie Cerretani was Brown's first Rookie winner in 2001.
As impressive as Pecotic's and Burke's seasons were individually so was Cornell's as a team. Led by four seniors, the Big Red won its first-ever Ivy League men's tennis title and the League's automatic bid to the 2011 NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Championships.
All four seniors -- Evan Bernstein, Jeremy Feldman, Andy Gauthier and Jonathan Jaklitsch -- were named All-Ivy, marking the first time in school history Cornell had four players named All-Ivy in the same season.
Gauthier (Ann Arbor, Mich.) and Jaklitsch (Islip, N.Y.) become the first pair of Big Red teammates to earn first-team All-Ivy honors for singles play in the same season.
Gauthier earned first-team All-Ivy in singles for the second-straight year, becoming the first Cornell player to be named first-team in singles play in consecutive seasons since Dave Merrit was selected three year in a row in 1983, 1984 and 1985. Gauthier played predominantly at the No. 1 and No. 2 singles spot, posting a 5-2 record in Ivy play and going 13-10 during the spring dual match season. Gauthier also earned second-team All-Ivy in doubles, as did Feldman (Armonk, N.Y.), his primary partner at the top two positions during the spring.
After earning second-team honors in each of the past two seasons, Jaklitsch was awarded his first-ever first-team selection in singles. He went 4-3 against Ivy opponents playing predominately at the No. 1 and No. 2 spots, while going 16-7 overall in the spring. Jaklitsch also picked up his first All-Ivy honor in doubles, while his partner Bernstein (Boca Raton, Fla.) earned his first-ever All-Ivy accolade. The tandem was named first-team after going a perfect 7-0 in League matches at No. 1 doubles. The pair posted a 16-7 mark overall during the spring season playing at both the No. 1 and No. 2 spots.
Penn senior Hicham Laalej (Via Mekles, Morocco) joined Pecotic as the only other unanamous first-team All-Ivy pick in singles while Yale sophomore Marc Powers (Stamford, Conn.) was named to the first team in singles for the second-straight year and was the only unanamious first-team choice in doubles this season.
Laalej got a first-team nod for the second time in his career with the first coming two seasons ago as a sophomore. This year, Laalej was strong at No. 1 singles for the Quakers posting a 15-2 record, including wins in five of his seven League matches.
Powers, the 2009-10 Ivy League Player and Rookie of the Year, followed up his stellar rookie season with 20 overall singles wins, four of those coming in Ivy play at the No. 1 and 2 positions during the spring. He also excelled for Yale in doubles with a 5-2 mark at No. 1, primarily teaming Daniel Hoffman (Atherton, Calif.), who also received first-team honors in doubles.
Rounding out the doubles' first-team selections were the Dartmouth duo of sophomore Xander Centenari (Towson, Md.) and junior Michael Laser (Glencoe, Ill.). Centenari and Laser partnered together throughout the spring season at the No. 1 and 2 spots, tallying a 15-3 record including a 6-1 mark in League matches.
The doubles selections for All-Ivy were slightly altered for the first time in League history. The season the coaches voted on the doubles nominees for first and second teams as individuals, not as doubles teams, as had been the format in previous years.
