The motel was generally very good, clean, updated nicely, etc. The front desk staff was courteous and helpful.
The plumbing in the shower was rattling and hissing after turning the shower off. Unable to sleep we contacted the staff and they moved us at about 11:30 pm after I had gone to bed. Had to get up and dressed to move. But everything turned out okay as they gave us a discount for our trouble. This should not have happened had the cleaning people checked out all the plumbing in the unit on a daily basis to eliminate any problems.
Staff were nice and respectful
The room assigned had hair everywhere, mattress all stained forgot to take pictures I believe room 322 if not mistaken, noisy in the morning
I liked the fact it was close to a lot of the main attractions
Even after I paid through booking.com, the hotel continued to make three wrong charges on my credit card. I also had a very hard time speaking with the manage to settle the claims. The hotel either intentionally mischarges customers in the hope not to be discovered or has horrible accounting system that mischarages credit cards on file. Do not use credit card in this hotel again because they keep it on file and charge you when they feel like it.
I didn't stay at the Best Western. I'm not sure who used my name, but it wasn't me.
the staff
The wifi signal is strong
The lights are all white, they are not that confortable, and the corridor' s lights were broken
Centre of town and close to virtually all popular locations in Atlanta. Georgia Aquarium, CNN Headquarters, World of Coca-cola etc were walking distance from the hotel. The morning breakfast was also good. Two subways on either side of the hotel just two blocks away. The location was two minutes walk to The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus where I had my Sunday service. It is fun staying at this hotel.
The internet speed could be made faster.
Staff & location wereexcellent. Breakfast was very good.
Phone system was terrible--it would ring several times in the middle of the night.
The people are very nice. The location was fine. We felt safe staying there.
The bathroom is to small. the shower curtain is to short, water was all over the floor.
It was fine but I will not be staying at another best western.
I was vacationing and I was not aware of the policy to charge my card holding funds for a preauthorized fee. It was $472.12 total so I was broke on vacation. The clerk that checked me in lied and said my payment was declined. I paid a total of $862.12 for a weekend to stay at best western. I had to wait until Monday so my $472.12 could be refunded to my card!!!
Have to park my car in a public parking area.
The bed was very comfortable and I love the shower head!
The doors didn't always close good so we constantly checked them and the courtyard was way too stuffy. Needed some fans going or something to move the air
The breakfast was fantastic and the location superb
We got to the hotel about 6am and had to wait till 3pm to check into the room which I wasn't pleased because I had just gotten out of a 12hour flight from Africa and all we needed to do was to rest our heads but we couldn't till after 7hours. Please note that the hotel had been paid in full even 2weeks before arrival time
Staff was very nice and helpful with information about area. Room clean and comfortable. Close to everything.
I loved the location. It was good value for money still
It was really more motel like
the locatuion, very close to the MARTA stations and the quitness of the place
the staff can be kind or very unpolite ( like a young coloured men i met a eneving , who had with me a very bad behavior for my complains about the noise of my rooms I`ve heard previous night...) Ok, we`we in USA , we can`t expect politeness spreadly in the hotel, but often i`ve found very professional and polite people in my travels in usa...not here! finally...bad breakfast!
The rooms were too small especially the shower
Staff, breakfast, wifi, location to Georgia Tech and the aquarium
Parking garage door broke down. We had to park a block away. Wasn't good when I had packages to carry. They charged me for a no show on a reservation I had modified the dates on so either they didn't update their system our booking.com didn't notify them of the modification. Luckily I had confirmations of everything so they fixed it. Otherwise, I would have been charged twice for the same room. The price was reasonable for the area but my stay at the Hyatt Place in Scottsdale a few nights before was much much nicer and bigger with free parking for technically $55 less.
They changed my room for too much noise due to the AC machines right in front of my window. Nice choice for breakfast. Comfortable bed. Well located. Nice wifi reception.
Sometimes they charged 1$ for a bottle of water and sometimes 1.5$ Super noisy and old AC system, inside and outside the room. Not super helpful staff, they didn't agree between them members on the room change and there was missunderstandings on the billing when I was checking out.
near to the city - on a bus line
Can't think of one thing
Nothing, an old hotel
old building, no TV!!, an hotel from the 1980s...breakfast is awful, in fact don't call this breakfast please. Don't go here! The pictures are a lie! It doesn't look like this at all. For my room if went in a old lift to what on the outside looks like old flats, with a safety lock on the inside to keep people out. Enough said. Give me my money back please.
The location was great!
The service/staff was terrible. Our bags were misplaced & we were forgotten while waiting for our room to be ready. We asked for a wake up call, which we never received. We asked for a taxi & again the staff failed to deliver. The Wifi password was given to us however the Wifi did not work. We stayed in 3 different hotels in 3 nights in 3 different cities, this was the only one that we had an issue with. Not only did we have one issue, but multiple. We will not be staying there again!
I liked the closeness of the hotel to the civic centre station. Liked the breakfast.
The areas outside the rooms were not clean. Some staff members were unfriendly while others were quite warm.

All advice, crits, everything welcome! Please... crit it hard, I need to get better. One thing that bothers me about it at least that I might go back and change is the evenness between the folds- too regular. Also the cloth needs a better light source.
Been a long time since I've done something like this...
thx for looking!

Haven't seen you here for a while
Nice piece, definitely a cool feel to it.
Things that stick out to me; utter absence of hands, that could make it so much more interesting. Left shoulder seems to be out a bit too far. Laslty, folds on the fabric look a bit artificial, they are quite rigid and are in a repating pattern. Otherwise - great job.
Looks kewl to me. Sorry, I can't really critique tho, I'm still a noob.
Yutani: yeh i've been pretty blasted busy lately... =( sad...
Hmmm thx for the crit- tweaked the fabric a tiny bit but I don't think I'll do too much more- hopefully I can improve on fabric work by the next piece =P I agree on the hands... but I got lazy by that point- I wanted to colorrrr!!! =P
thx much
Sanby: well thanks for the comment/compliment anyways!
Ok here's the tweaked version:
Slight change only... not enough to save the whole thing =P

Center For reducing Health disparities
The diversity of the U.S. population is one of its fundamental strengths as a nation. Over the last several decades, scientific advances have contributed to improving the health and quality of life of many people in the United States.
However, low-income populations, underserved rural populations, and racial and ethnic minority populations have not adequately benefited from these advances and have a higher prevalence and incidence than the population as a whole of illness and death due to cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, infant mortality, and other diseases.
As a nation, we must develop strategies and interventions to reduce and ultimately eliminate health disparities among disadvantaged populations.

When I was a kid, I loved Isaac Bashevis Singer's stories. My favorite was a tale called "The Snow in Chelm." In the village of Chelm, it snows one night, and the snow-covered ground glitters like diamonds, silver, and pearls. The town elders, meeting during the snowfall, agree that the snow is a precious treasure that must be protected from the trampling feet of the townspeople.
Now, Chelm is a village populated entirely by fools, and the elders are the biggest fools of all. After much solemn discussion, they decide to send a boy around the village with a hammer, to tap on every window and tell the occupants of each house to stay inside, so that the snow will remain pristine and untrampled.

After nearly a year of debate and intrigue, hockey fans finally got the answer that they were looking for on Friday as the Edmonton Oilers selected Taylor Hall first overall at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft from Los Angeles.
"I'm still shaking right now," Hall told TSN's James Duthie. "I'm just so honoured to be included in this draft class. To go number one is such a credit to everyone involved. I'm just so happy to be here."
The Windsor Spitfires' sniper was the top ranked prospect in TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie's final draft rankings as well topping the International Scouting Services and the Hockey News' rankings.
It is the fourth straight year that a player from the Ontario Hockey League was taken first overall following in the footsteps of John Tavares, Steven Stamkos and Patrick Kane.
The 18-year old enjoyed a spectacular year, scoring 40 goals and adding 66 assists in 57 regular season games with the Spitfires. He was also a key component of Windsor's back-to-back Memorial Cup titles as he was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive year. He also found time in his busy schedule to help Canada capture the silver medal at the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship.
The drafting of Hall signifies that the rebuild is well underway in the 'City of Champions' as the Oilers expect Hall to team with top ranked prospects Jordan Eberle, Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson and Linus Omark as the nucleus of a future contender.
To his credit, Hall believes that he can make an immediate impact with the Oilers.
"Hopefully I can make that team next year," said Hall. "That's my first step. We can really recreate some of the magic they had there. I think when you have a young team, that's something I'm really looking forward to joining."
Oilers' general manager Steve Tambellini discussed the reasons for choosing Taylor over Tyler with James Duthie.
"We felt like with Taylor, if you look at his resume of playing with the best team and being the best player," Tambellini told Duthie. "Back to back Memorial Cup MVP's, prominent in the World Junior tournament, prominent on his own team for his entire junior career. I haven't met a more competitive player than this young man."
The Boston Bruins received a pretty solid consolation prize as they were able to select Tyler Seguin second overall after receiving the pick as part of a package from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for forward Phil Kessel.
"It's a dream come true to go in the first round," Seguin told Duthie. "To go to a team like Boston, it's just fantastic."
He too believes that he can immediately step into the Bruins lineup.
"I'm very confident in my skills, and after talking to the Bruins I think I can come in and hopefully earn a spot."
Seguin stated that there was no shame coming second to Hall.
"I wasn't surprised or disappointed," said Seguin. "I think I just came in here really with an open mind. I didn't have any expectations. I think everyone has their own opinion. We've seen it all year with whatever scouting service there may be. You know, Edmonton decided to select Hall first overall, and good for him. He deserves it. And I'm happy to be a Bruin."
The Plymouth Whalers' playmaker was selected as the CHL prospect of the year and finished atop the NHL's Central Scouting rankings. He has been compared favourably to a young Joe Sakic or Steve Yzerman.
"He's got a tremendous shot, vision and creativity. He's got a lot of things going for him," said Bruins' general manager Peter Chiarelli. "He's a good kid, he comes from a good family and we are happy to have him."
Seguin finished his OHL campaign with 28 goals and 106 points in 63 games. There are plenty of scouts who believe he will be the better player in the long run.
After consumating a trade earlier in the night with the Vancouver Canucks that saw the Florida Panthers shift Keith Ballard to the West Coast, new Panthers' GM Dale Tallon remained busy as he announced the selection of Kingston Frontenacs defenceman Erik Gudbranson with the third overall pick.
A behemoth on the blueline, Gudbranson is a stay at home defenceman who should be able to inject some size and strength into the Cats' defence corps.
Many expected the fourth pick overall to be in play as there had been plenty of speculation that the Columbus Blue Jackets were shopping the pick. Instead, general manager Scott Howson announced the selection of Portland Winter Hawks forward Ryan Johansen.
No player helped their draft stock more this past year than Johansen who rocketed up the draft rankings from 150th prior to the season to a high lottery pick.
With the fifth pick in the draft, the New York Islanders selected Johansen's teammate in Portland, forward Nino Niederreiter.
Niederreiter is another player who has seen his draft status elevated in the past 12 months after starring for the Swiss at the World Junior Hockey championship. He becomes the highest player ever drafted from Switzerland.
In his first ever draft as a general manager, the newly anointed saviour of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Steve Yzerman announced that the Bolts selected Prince George's forward Brett Connolly sixth overall.
The pick is a bit of a risk as Connolly was limited to only 16 games this past season due to a hip injury.
With the seventh overall pick, the Carolina Hurricanes selected Kitchener Rangers' marksman Brian Skinner.
No prospect was able to find the back of the net more often than the former figure skater this past season and the 'Canes undoubtedly have visions of he and Eric Staal combining to lead the team into the future.
The Atlanta Thrashers strayed from the formula a bit by selecting the first Russian born player in the draft in the Barrie Colt's Alex Burmistrov.
The speedster is a tad on the small side, listed at only 159 pounds, but what he lacks in size, he makes up for in skill and intensity.
The Minnesota Wild continued the European trend by picking Finnish forward Mikael Granlund with the ninth overall pick. Most scouts use Saku Koivu as a reference point when discussing the career potential of Granlund. He will remain in the Finnish league for at least one more season.
The New York Rangers took a big step towards toughening up their team as the picked rugged Moose Jaw Warrior's blueliner Dylan McIlraith. No other prospect had anywhere near the 19 fighting majors McIlraith accumulated last season.
With the 11th pick, the Dallas Stars selected the first American born player and the first goaltender chosen in the form of Jack Campbell.
Campbell broke plenty of Canadian hearts by backstopping the United States to the gold medal at the IIHF World Junior Hockey championship.
After a lengthy wait, defenceman Cam Fowler had to be relieved when his name was finally called by the Anaheim Ducks with the 12th pick.
Ranked third overall for the majority of the year, Fowler is a top notch puck moving defenceman who should slide into a spot vacated on the Ducks blueline thanks to the retirement of Scott Niedermayer. He looked ecstatic to be joining the Ducks despite the boos from the pro-Kings crowd at the Staples Center.
Fowler admitted that it was nerve wracking waiting for his name to be called.
"When you have high expectations for yourself and people are saying certain things and it doesn't end up working out, it's tough," said Fowler. "But I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. I think I came to a great organization who was excited to have me. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters. You want somebody that's confident in you and somebody that's happy to have you aboard."
With Fowler out of the way, Moncton's Brandon Gormley became the man on the hot seat as he was projected to be drafted inside the top five but forced to wait. Fortunately for Gormley he did not have to squirm uncomfortably very long as the Phoenix Coyotes called his name with the 13th overall pick.
The St. Louis Blues would select the Tri-City Storm's Jaden Schwartz with the 14th pick overall giving him a very special birthday present.
With a lack of action on the trade front, the Staples Center suddenly got excited as the Los Angeles Kings acquired the 15th pick from the Florida Panthers for the 19th and 59th pick of the draft. The Kings used their newly acquired pick to select defenceman Derek Forbort from the US National development team.
The dealing of picks continued as the Ottawa Senators sent the 16th overall pick to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for defenceman David Runblad who went 17th overall in last year's NHL Entry Draft.
The Blues used the pick to choose Russian prospect Vladimir Tarasenko, who is described as having Top 10 skills, however the possibility exists that he could remain in the KHL for at least a season.
The Colorado Avalanche made perhaps the biggest stretch of the first round, picking Owen Sound Attack centre Joey Hishon with the 17th pick. Hishon was not expected to be selected until half-way through the second round.
The Nashville Predators would follow at 18 with Peterborough Petes' forward Austin Watson, the highest rated prospect remaining. Watson increased his draft stock after being traded to the Petes late in the season from the Windsor Spitfires.
With their second choice in the first round, the Panthers' picked Nick Bjugstad from Blaine High School in Minnesota where he was named 'Mr. Hockey.' A 17-year old who graduated a year early, he will join the Minnesota Golden Gophers of the NCAA next season.
The Pittsburgh Penguins gave the California fans a reason to cheer as they selected Gardena native Beau Bennett with the 19th overall pick. He tore up the BCJHL offensively last season and becomes the highest ever player drafted who was born and trained in California.
With only their second top-25 pick in the past 11 years, the Detroit Red Wings chose Notre Dame's Riley Sheahan 21st overall.
Instead of making their second selection of the first round, the Phoenix Coyotes traded the 22nd pick and the 113th pick to the Montreal Canadiens for 27th and 57th picks. The Habs used their newly acquired selection to pick another American prospect, Jarred Tinordi, the son of former Minnesota North Stars stalwart Mark. A hulking defensive prospect, he should eventually fill the role vacated by the departure of Mike Komisarek last season.
The Buffalo Sabres added to their defence corps with the 23rd pick by choosing the Edmonton Oil Kings Mark Pysyk who is a safe, steady, stay-at-home defenceman. That was followed by the Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks choosing Kevin Hayes in a draft pick acquired in the deal that sent Dustin Byfuglien to the Atlanta Thrashers. Hayes will be heading to Boston College next season to play college hockey.
After acquiring their third pick of the first round from the Vancouver Canucks as part of the Ballard deal, the Panthers selected Moose Jaw Warriors' winger Quinton Howard.
Already with a stable full of Russian thoroughbreds, the Washington Capitals added yet another by choosing Evgeny Kuznetsov with the 26th overall pick. Although he has two years remaining on his KHL contract, he plans on playing in the NHL once that deal expires.
In a pick acquired from the Montreal Canadiens, the Phoenix Coyotes went off the board a bit, selecting goaltender Mark Visentin of the Niagara Ice Dogs. Most mock drafts had Visentin going sometime in the late second round, behind goalie Calvin Pickard of the Seattle Thunderbirds.
The San Jose Sharks took Charlie Coyle from South Shore of the EJHL with 28th pick while the Ducks chose Long Beach, California native Emerson Etem with the 29th pick sending the crowd into a frenzy.
Etem, who was the 17th rated prospect according to most mock drafts, is considered one of the fastest skaters available in the draft.
The Chicago Blackhawks rounded out the proceedings by trading the final pick of the first round to the New York Islanders for picks 35 and 58 in the draft. With the pick the Islanders chose Minnesota high school prospect Brock Nelson. He was the 10th American-born player selected in the first round, tying a NHL record.
Several players who expected to hear their names called in the first round will be forced to comeback on Saturday to realize the beginning of their NHL dreams. Those passed over include Sudbury's John McFarland, Red Deer defenceman Alex Petrovic and Seattle Thunderbirds' netminder Calvin Pickard.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police say a burglar was no match for Louisville firefighters.Early Saturday morning, police say they were called to the fire station at the corner E. Jefferson St. and S. Brook St. on a report of a burglary.
When officers arrived, they say several firefighters had captured 27-year-old Nicholas Gonzales.
Gonzales allegedly shattered a window, and was found committing a sex act in a storage room near fire fighting equipment.
There was over $1,000 worth of damage to the fire house, police say.
Gonzales is charged with burglary, alcohol intoxication in a public place and criminal mischief.

The Florida Panthers had money to spend in free agency, and loaded up, bringing in four forwards, one defenceman and a goaltender on the first day of free agency.
Numbers Game looks at the Panthers' big first day of free agency.
The Panthers Get: LW Jussi Jokinen, C Dave Bolland, C, Derek MacKenzie, RW Shawn Thornton, D Willie Mitchell, G Al Montoya.
The Florida Panthers headed into the offseason giving general manager Dale Tallon more financial freedom than they've had in recent seasons, and he wasted no time spending that money, with mixed results.
Jokinen, 31, had a strong season playing on Evgeni Malkin's wing in Pittsburgh, scoring 57 points in 81 games, the second-best point total of his career. That situation is not a luxury that Jokinen can count on in Florida where, despite their young talent, they have no one in Malkin's class, but Jokinen has shown that he can be a productive contributor with solid possession numbers when playing with skilled players.
Slot him alongside young Finn Aleksander Barkov and that has the makings of a solid two-way line and maybe Jokinen isn't likely to be scoring 50-plus points in Florida, where no one scored even 40 points last season, but Jokinen can be a useful player for at least three of the four years for which he signed, at a total cost of $16-million.
Then, things got silly.
Coming into free agency, there was a natural connection to make between Dave Bolland and Panthers GM Dale Tallon, given their time together in Chicago, but Bolland is a third-line centre so it's really hard to justify the kind of money and term that was given. Bolland signed a five-year, $27.5-million contract, and it's just flat-out outrageous.
Bolland played well with the Maple Leafs last season, at least he did when he was healthy, but he's missed 142 games over the past five seasons and is coming off a season in which he missed 59 games due to a sliced ankle tendon.
At his best, Bolland has been productive, scoring more than 35 points three times, and handled a lot of tough assignments in terms of zone starts and quality of competition, but assuming that he's up to that level now, after his latest injury, seems a tad optimistic and paying money and term that is more typical of a top-six forward is just really difficult to digest. For a checking centre, he also hasn't been very good at limiting shots against while killing penalties.
Sure, the Panthers are nowhere near the cap now, and maybe they never will be, but it's hard to take a team from being also-rans to contenders simply by paying a checking centre a boatload of money. By contrast, Paul Stastny and Thomas Vanek were the only two free agent forwards to come at a higher cap hit and neither one signed for five years. They didn't get as much term as Dave Bolland.
MacKenzie, a 33-year-old checking centre, has been a reliable fourth-liner for the Blue Jackets. He had a career-high 237 hits last season and in four seasons with the Blue Jackets, he's won 54.9% of his draws.
Signed for three years and $3.9-million, MacKenzie gives the Panthers good depth down the middle and it looks like Bolland and MacKenzie are going to bump prospects like Brandon Pirri and Vince Trocheck down the depth chart, presumably right out of the Top 12 unless they can fit on the wing.
Shawn Thornton is a tough guy whose game has been declining in recent seasons. He's fought 90 times over the past six seasons, but that's about what the 36-year-old (who turns 37 later this month) can do at this point. Whether that's worth more than a million dollars per season or multiple years probably has different answers for teams that aren't trying to reach the salary floor.
After missing the entire 2012-2013 season, Willie Mitchell had a nice comeback season, playing more than 20 minutes a night, a crucial part of the Kings' second Stanley Cup win in the past three seasons. He's 37, so not the fleetest afoot, but Mitchell has size, strength and adds a shot of reliability to the Panthers' defence.
In Mitchell and Brian Campbell (at least for now), the Panthers have a couple veterans that could show the way for first overall draft pick Aaron Ekblad and Mitchell, while a decent addition gets a nice payday -- two years, $8.5-million -- to eat some minutes on the Panthers' blueline.
Backup goaltender Al Montoya is a 29-year-old who posted a .920 save percentage in 28 games with the Jets last season. Trouble is, in the prevous two seasons, his save percentage was .894, so it's not really reasonable to expect more than Montoya's career average which is .910. Adding Montoya would figure to mark the end of Dan Ellis' time in Florida, though it may be difficult to find a taker for a 34-year-old coming off the worst season of his career.
The Florida Panthers spent big money in the summer of 2011, overpaying a bunch of veterans in order to reach the salary floor, and this year has a similar feel to it. The issue for the Panthers is that they are a franchise that has reached the postseason once in the past 13 years; they don't need to overpay free agents as much as they need to build a stable base of talent. With all the money the Panthers spent on July 1, there's not much reason to believe any of those players are going to be long-term answers.

Oh, Vera Farmiga is way too hot to play Norma Bates. And so was Olivia Hussey for that matter (I had wet dreams after watching that Romeo & Juliet movie in high school, lol).
I don't think Robert Bloch intended Norma Bates to be a MILF.
BALLISTIC CITY Sci-Fi Series in the Works at AMC from Joseph Kosinski and Travis Beacham | Collider
and now AMC is making moves on a sci-fi series with a pedigreed team behind the scenes: Oblivion director Joseph Kosinski and Pacific Rim screenwriter Travis Beacham. Hit the jump for much more.
Per THR, AMC is developing a futuristic cop drama pilot called Ballistic City with Joseph Kosinski attached to direct and executive produce and Travis Beacham writing the script. The potential series is described as a mix between Chinatown and Blade Runner and centers on "a former cop who is thrust into the criminal underworld of a city housed in a generational spaceship destined for an unknown world." Beacham is onboard to write the pilot and executive produce alongside Kosinski, who has agreed to helm the pilot should AMC take a liking to the script.
Hey Bobnot...about 7 episodes into Copper. I am digging it, but not as much as Ripper Street. The characters are a little less, and they ALL lie. The little girl thing is kinda icky too. And I felt bad for ol'Jasper. But yeah, all of the characters except for Corky are differing degrees of unlikeable. Did like the Dentist poisoning himself, and the conversation in the bar after. That was pretty clever/funny.
MSN and Xbox May Revive Heroes - IGN
Here is part of the article...
Oh hell yesssssssssssssssssssssssss.Could Heroes be making a comeback? It's an odd and interesting time for TV fandom, as the return of Arrested Development on Netflix and the revival of Veronica Mars (via a Kickstarted movie) is causing a lot more "Hey, maybe this could come back too!" discussion about all sorts of shows.
TVLine is reporting that a Heroes revival is indeed as possibility though, with MSN – in the midst of planning a bigger push of original programming via Xbox – in talks to launch a new version of the superhero series that originally aired an on NBC from 2006-2010.

Coral Reefs volleyball team had yet to truly be challenged so far this season.
On Wednesday night, visiting Palmetto gave the Barracudas all they could handle even taking a set something the Barracudas had only yielded in one other match.
But showing the resolve and experience of a team trying to reach the state finals for the second consecutive season, host Coral Reef rallied to beat Palmetto 20-25, 25-23, 25-20, 25-19, improving its record to a perfect 9-0.
Palmetto is always going to be a team that will challenge us, Coral Reef coach Yasmin Ortiz said. Once we got some good passing and got some momentum back, it made it a lot easier for us.
The Barracudas picked up their second district victory against Palmetto (7-4) this season, overcoming their slow start behind 11 kills, 22 assists and six digs from junior setter Kristine Rios.
Senior middle hitter Andrea Alespeiti finished with 10 kills and seven blocks. Senior outside hitter Adara Anselmo had 15 digs and eight kills, and sophomore outside hitter Lexi Mesa finished with seven kills and eight digs, committing only one hitting error in 23 attempts.
Our defense keeps us in games and just us communicating with each other on the court, Rios said. I was expecting a bigger fight from Palmetto and it took us a while to click, but I knew wed pull through.
Palmetto opened the match on a 22-9 surge thanks to solid play from sophomore Lauren Phillips, junior Natalia Ucros and senior Taylor David.
But the Barracudas answered with a strong defensive effort up front and good back row play that allowed them to finish out the next three closely-contested sets.
One thing as a coach that Im trying to let them do is how to make adjustments on the court on their own, Ortiz said. Thats an experience they need to have not just on this level, but if they want to play college volleyball.
Coral Reef lost four seniors and three starters overall all of whom are playing college volleyball from last years team, which became the first in the schools history to reach state.
Coral Reef, however, wasnt able to make much of a dent, losing in the Class 8A state semifinals to powerhouse Winter Park in three sets. The Barracudas goal this season is not just to go back to Kissimmee, but to be able to compete with the states best.
The Barracudas will get a chance to see what they are made of this weekend when they compete in a tournament in Orlando that features Edgewater and Dr. Phillips.
After returning to face more district foes such as Killian next week, Coral Reef will also compete in the Smoothie King Invitational in mid-October, a tournament that will include Miami-Dade stalwarts Westminster Christian and Ransom Everglades.
I hope we come together and play as a team and not fall apart when we face tough competition, Rios said. Our mentality is to just get better with each match.

Traditional, NoSQL and NewSQL Are All Broken. All Data in Memory
Stancey Schneider for VMware:
Over the past few years, memory has gotten cheap and is easily commoditized in the cloud. So moving your data strategy to put it all in-memory just plain makes sense. It eliminates an extra hop to read and write data from disk, making it inherently faster and the performance more consistent. It also manages to simplify the internal optimization algorithms and reduce the number of instructions to the CPU making better use of the hardware.
This is the "conclusion" after "establishing" in the post that:
- traditional databases are already broken because of the fixed schemas and data being persisted on disk
- NoSQL databases are also broken because even if they have flexible schemas, data is still persisted on disk and "replication takes time to do all the read and writes"
- NewSQL are also broken because "the way the databases handles the data distribution makes it so there NewSQL databases do not scale linearly"
All this FUD just to promote GemFire and SQLFire? I really thought VMware is a serious company.

One Database to Rule Them All?
Curt Monash took upon himself the task of writing about why a data store independent of consistency models, upfront data modeling and access algorithms is almost impossible:
To date, nobody has ever discovered a data layout that is efficient for all usage patterns.
He's reached a similar conclusion to what I wrote in my link post. Here's mine:
[…] a database feature an ubiquitous interface independent of consistency models, upfront data modeling, and access algorithms is never going to be efficient. Actually, I'm not even sure it would make sense being built
Here's Curt Monash's:
So what would happen if somebody tried to bundle all conceivable functionality into a single DBMS, with a plan to optimize the layout of any particular part of the database as appropriate? I think the outcome would be tears — for the development effort would be huge, while the benefits would be scanty. The most optimistic cost estimates could run in the 100s of millions of dollars, with more realistic ones adding a further order of magnitude. But no matter what the investment, the architects would be on the horns of nasty dilemma
Definitely more impactful.

A Data Store Independent of Consistency Models, Upfront Data Modeling and Access Algorithms
Tina Groves1 in "Where Does Hadoop Fit in a Business Intelligence Data Strategy?":
For example, the decision to move and transform operational data to an operational data store (ODS), to an enterprise data warehouses (EDW) or to some variation of OLAP is often made to improve performance or enhance broad consumability by business people, particularly for interactive analysis. Business rules are needed to interpret data and to enable BI capabilities such as drill up/drill down. The more business rules built into the data stores, the less modelling effort needed between the curated data and the BI deliverable.
That's why Chirag Mehta's ideal database featuring "an ubiquitous interface independent of consistency models, upfront data modeling, and access algorithms" is never going to be efficient. Actually, I'm not even sure it would make sense being built.

NoSQL or NewSQL: The Ideal Database
Talking about ideal database solutions, Chirag Mehta writes in "A Journey From SQL to NoSQL to NewSQL":
"Design a data store that has ubiquitous interface for the application developers and is independent of consistency models, upfront data modeling (schema), and access algorithms. As a developer you start storing, accessing, and manipulating the information treating everything underneath as a service. As a data store provider you would gather upstream application and content metadata to configure, optimize, and localize your data store to provide ubiquitous experience to the developers. As an ecosystem partner you would plug-in your hot-swappable modules into the data stores that are designed to meet the specific data access and optimization needs of the applications."

VoltDB Hits Proverbial Version 3.0
Andrew Brust for ZDNet:
In the software world, many people believe that products reach true maturity and value in their third version. A first release is about bringing an idea to market, and second releases act to stabilize the first. But it's "v3" that really incorporates refinements that reflect user feedback and market lessons learned. It seems to me that "NewSQL" database player VoltDB is following that pattern with its own 3.0 release.
There're no such things as a proverbial version 3.0, nor a pattern about the meaning of version 3. Anyways, congrats to the VoltDB guys!
If you want to know what's in VoltDB 3.0, ignore the linked post and go read Introducing VoltDB 3.0 on VoltDB blog. Short version: more performance, improved SQL support, support for JSON-encoded data and defining indexes for JSON columns.

VoltDB 3.0 Will Include a New Transaction Coordination Architecture
From the VoltDB 3.0 preview notes:
VoltDB v3.0 includes a new transaction coordination architecture that reduces latency and improves transaction throughput.
In VoltDB versions 1.x and 2.x, transactions were globally ordered and ordered according to time. Each node on the cluster communicated with every other node to agree upon transaction ordering. Maintaining a global agreement based on time caused VoltDB to incur additional latency - intra-node communication agreement involving all nodes. This architecture required users to synchronize cluster node clocks using NTP, because any time drift between nodes would introduce artificial, unneeded latency to the system. This overhead, and the strict need to maintain clock synchronization has been eliminated from the VoltDB v3.0 code base.
So how does the new solution work?

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Through a Polyglot Persistence Glass
Adrian Giordani:
Relational databases are the Yellow Brick Road of managing large structured data globally. […] In the 1939 film of The Wizard of Oz, a red brick road is intertwined with the yellow one. Similarly, a new type of database might soon offer a different path: NoSQL, or Not-Only-SQL, first coined in 2008, is promising a faster and more scalable database architecture, at least for some cases.
But who's the Tin Woodman?

Michael Stonebraker Says in Defense of NewSQL
The reason that this is becoming a hot-button issue is because IT organizations have invested billions of dollars in investments in SQL. Adding new data management frameworks such as Hadoop will add considerable expense in terms of finding people with the skills needed to manage these platforms. Stonebraker isn't necessarily against Hadoop; he's just pointing out that there is no one SQL database engine that fits all requirements and that before IT organizations adopt a NoSQL approach, they should consider other SQL-compatible approaches to solving the same problem.
Translated: What do these NoSQL kids know? My products are always the best. So instead of paying them, why not continue paying me.

Traditional SQL DaaS vs NewSQL
Mike Hogan (CEO ScaleDB) provides some very valid issues with traditional relational databases operating as Databases-as-a-Service:
When moving from a self-managed database—either in the cloud or on premise—to a DaaS, the "DBA-in-the-cloud" doesn't have that visibility into the business requirements, performance requirements, development schedule, and more. This lack of visibility turns the already challenging task of hand-tuning the database into a near impossibility using traditional databases.
And these are just the most visible ones.
On the other hand, I totally agree with Markus 'maol' Perdrizat pointing out that NewSQL is not the only solution to these problems:
I agree with the problem positioning, but feel strongly that NewSQL is not a requirement to address the problem here, you can equally work a little services layer and put all the control into the hands of the user, essentially replacing (a lot of) the DBA tasks with automation and APIs.
What NewSQL gives you though, and we see that with Xeround and supposedly also ScaleDB, is the elasticity and transparent sharding that's difficult to achieve with the more traditional Oracle, Sybase or SQL Server databases that are still often required in the enterprise space.

Just six weeks to go till pitchers and catchers report for Spring Training. Most, but definitely not all of the big trades have been made and free agents signed. Still there are some fairly impressive free agents available, including right hander Kyle Lohse, lefty Joe Saunders and righty Roy Oswalt -- if he decides to play -- and Shaun Marcum. There are some closers of note as well including Rafael Soriano, Jose Valverde and Brian Wilson as well as outfielder Michael Bourn. Alex Anthopoulos actually pulled off a trade on New Year's day a year ago, re-acquiring reliever Jason Frasor (currently a free agent) from the White Sox for a couple of pitching prospects, Daniel Webb and Myles Jaye. The Jays also signed lefty reliever Darren Oliver January 9th and Omar Vizquel on January 24th. Two of the biggest and in some ways most controversial free agent signings also happened last January. Texas won the posting bid on Japanese star pitcher Yu Darvish and signed him on the 18th. Ironically, the same day, Colorado signed the "Grand old Man," Jamie Moyer who actually signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays later in the summer before being cut loose. The busiest day in January was the 26th. Boston signing outfielder Cody Ross, The A's coming to terms with veteran outfielder DH Johnny Gomes, the Yankees landing right hander Hiroki Kuroda and last but certainly not least, Detroit signing up Prince Fielder to a nine year mammoth $214 million dollar deal. At the time much was made of Fielder's body type, 5-foot-11 and 275 pounds and whether he had any hope of making it through to the end of the contract as major contributor with the Tigers. Well the Tigers certainly aren't complaining through year one. Prince slugged 30 homers, drove in 108 runs and hit .313. He provided the Tigers with a devastating one-two punch with Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera, and helped lead Detroit to the World Series where they ultimately lost to the Giants. Out of curiosity, I took a look at his dad, Cecil Fielder "Big Daddy" and how his number diminished as he moved into his 30's. Cecil's last really big year was 1996, at age 32, which he split between Detroit and the Yankees. He hit 39 homers, knocked in 117 runs and batted .252. Cecil played his final game, at Cleveland as member of the Indians on September 13th of 1998. He went 1 for 2 off lefty Jim Parque of the White Sox. His final hit a single up the middle, before David Justice pinch hit for him next time through the order. The following spring Fielder went to camp with the Blue Jays for a second go round with the club he cut his teeth with in mid-80's. Cecil had a good spring in '99, but new skipper Jim Fregosi opted to cut him and go with the more versatile David Hollins, who had played for him in his days managing the Phillies. So Cecil's career was done at 35. Prince will be 29 on May 9th. Barring injury or a catastrophic drop-off, should far surpass those of his father's, just as Barry Bonds dwarfed those of his father Bobby. Prince has already hit 260 homeruns and has a career batting average of .287. Cecil hit 319 homeruns for his career and batted .255. Tigers owner Mike Ilitch approved the signing of Prince Fielder for one reason: He wanted to win the World Series. They came close in 2012, and are still arguably one of the top two or three teams in the American League. Some would say the best. Detroit has added outfielder Torii Hunter, Victor Martinez is returning from knee surgery to add another impressive bat and they resigned Anibal Sanchez to complete a standout rotation. The Tigers still may need an upgrade at shortstop and it remains to be seen if youngster Bruce Rondon is actually going to be their closer. Prince Fielder's contract runs for eight more years till he hits 36. I believe he is a better player than his father and has the additional motivation of playing for a top notch contender. It's possible he may fade over the final two or three years of his contract and have to become a full time designated hitter, but the Tigers winning one, maybe two World Series is definitely within the realm of possibility. For that reason, the Prince Fielder signing was worth it.

Duncan Ferguson
- Born: 27/12/1971
- Birthplace: Stirling
- Nationality: Scottish
- Apps/ Goals: 191 (82) / 72
- Debut: 1994 (v Coventry City at Goodison)
Duncan first joined the Blues in 1994 after spells at Dundee United and Glasgow Rangers and he quickly became an idol of the faithful after scoring his first goal in a Merseyside derby at Goodison.
He regularly terrorised Premiership defences and won an FA Cup winners medal in 1995 before moving to Newcastle United in a shock transfer deal in 1998.
However, after a somewhat disappointing time in the North-East, then Deputy Chairman Bill Kenwright plotted to bring the hero of the Gwladys Street back to what he termed his 'rightful home'.
After protracted negotiations Duncan made his Merseyside return on August 17, 2000 and, in typical story-book fashion, scored two goals on his 'second' home debut against Charlton Athletic.
When he first arrived David Moyes made Ferguson his captain.
His marauding performances, mainly as a substitute, during the 2004/05 led to Ferguson agreeing a new one year deal at Goodison in the summer of 2005.
He was mainly utilised as a substitute during the 2005/06 campaign. His final appearance for the Blues came on the last day of the season, leading the side as skipper and netting the last-minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw with West Bromwich Albion.
The striker was not offered a new deal, prompting the end of his long association with the Blues as a tough, no-nonsense centre-forward.

As long as you never call me Nickleback again, sure thing.
Maybe it is, and maybe it isn't.
Why? Which brother? What happened?
Getting engaged to Camilla was just one of the many things in my life I had no control over. I have control over this,...
Good, then we agree you'll stay away from Camilla?

Congratulations Novak Djokovic for winning your 27th title, being the first person since Pete Sampras in 1993 to win his first tournament after being named World No. 1, and being the first man ever to win five ATP Masters 1000 titles in a ROW and in a given season.
Just because you don't want Monte Carlo to count doesn't mean it doesn't! It is still a masters 1000!!
(Source: Novak Djokovic for winning your http, via tennisetviola)
My bubble....: PEOPLE NEED TO STOP THEIR FUCKERY
I don't hate Djokovic but he needs to stop with the arrogance and the cockiness.
I do dislike his recent behavior. I have watched Djokovic's way before most of Novak lovers have watched him.
He used to be very funny, but now he has this attitude that does not…
People still argue Nadal is not the GOAT despite winning the clay slam and 2 other majors last year, completing the Golden Career Slam. Djokovic may be having the best season of all time but he is not the GOAT
New Twitter
I have made a new twitter to try and meet more of you awesome tennis people.

MIAMI, FL (WHBL) - The Milwaukee Brewers are back to within three games of .500, after beating the Marlins in Miami Tuesday night 8-4. The Crew was trailing by a run in the seventh when Norichika Aoki tied the game with a double that scored pinch-hitter Nyjer Morgan from first. Rickie Weeks then singled, and Ryan Braun drove home the game-winner with an infield hit, a dribbler down the third base line. Jeff Bianchi gave Milwaukee its margin of victory in the eighth, when he belted a three-run homer to deep left – his second blast in three games. Aoki hit a two-run homer and drove in three on the night. Marlins' right fielder Giancarlo Stanton opened the fourth inning with his 86th career homer, tying Jimmie Fox for the eighth-most homers by a player younger than 23. Shaun Marcum gave up four runs in five and two-thirds innings. Kameron Loe got the win in relief. He's now 6-4. Marlins' reliever Mike Dunn took the loss. The Brewers ended a three-game losing streak to the Marlins, and the Crew has now won 12 of its last 15. They remain seven and a half games back in the National League Wild Card race. Milwaukee and Miami will face each other again tonight in South Florida. Right-hander Wily Peralta will make his first big league start for the Brewers against right-hander Nathan Eovaldi. Coverage on WHBL begins at 5:35.

Wendy's is caught in a fast-food pickle
Consumers say its offerings taste better than the competition's, but its stock isn't so desirable, especially compared with McDonald's.
As The Wall Street Journal recently noted, Wendy's is in a race with McDonald's for the so-called value customers, with the former ramping up promotions of its value menu dubbed "Right Price, Right Size." But beating the home of the Golden Arches at its own game will be tough.
And so far, the results have been mixed.
Net income at Dublin, Ohio-based Wendy's fell to $2.13 million, or one cent a share, down from $12.4 million, or three cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding one-time items, profit was 3 cents per share. Revenue increased 1.8% to $ 603.7 million. Wendy's was expected to earn 3 cents per share on revenue of $614 million.
Wendy's CEO Emil Brolick has admitted the chain is struggling with value customers even as sales grew in April. These patrons are important given their frequent patronage of fast-food restaurants. McDonald's and Burger King are also courting them.
To be fair, McDonald's is struggling, too. Last month, its same-store sales rose 0.7% in North America. Wendy's did better on that metric, posting a 1% same-store gain in its home market.
However, if investors are going to bet on the fast-food market, McDonald's is the way to go. It has a market value topping $100 billion, giving it the financial heft to attract cash-strapped consumers without crushing its profit margins.
McDonald's stock is also far more reasonably valued, with a price-to-earnings multiple of 18.53. Wendy's, by contrast, carries a P/E of near 1,500. The 52-week price target on McDonald's is $106.67, about 7% higher than where it trades now.
Wendy's food may be delicious, but its stock is more likely to leave a bad taste in investors' mouths.
Jonathan Berr owns shares of McDonald's. Follow him on Twitter @jdberr.
When my son (now 10 years old) was about 1-1/2 to 2 years old he used to sing "Ba Da Ba Ba Ba" in the car. I didn't put it together right away but then I noticed it was always as we were passing by a McDonalds. It is (or was) there theme song at the time followed by "I'm lovin' it" And even at that young age he related those golden arches with their commercial. There advertising is aimed at children and it works.
I can remember when all 3 of the big chains were desirable destinations in their own right. Over time though, they have become more conscious of shoving food out the window in the shortest minute rather than maintaining the quality of the product. I can't recall opening a wrapper to find a well constructed and hot sandwich. I'm referring to a "freshly" made (still warm) sandwich that wasn't slobbered with condiments to the point that you couldn't keep the bun in tact. McDonalds fares better due to the lack of tomatoes on their popular sandwiches, although the McRib destroys this advantage due to more sauce than bread. All things considered though, Wendy's does have the edge on taste if prepared the way intended when they began operations, but none of them really deserve their level of revenues until they clean up the drive thru quality. Unfortunately, they probably won't address the issue as most customers won't take the time to complain because the frequency of complaints would be staggering!
It's remarkable how this article is attempting to relay financial information, and the posts are largely about "oh I like their food" or "this one is cheaper".
Folks, this is about the economical status of a chain, not about "Do you like the food".
For the rest of those who do have a clue, and are financialy literate. (No wonder there's so many begging for entitlement handouts, most don't understand money.) I digress, the comparisson between both chains and the R.O.I. is largely vast. Income from Sales differ in the billions, Wendy's income growth is a terrifying - 69%, net profit margin is at -0.18%, it's Debt Ratio 0.74, EPS -0.01 Compare that to MCD income growth -.70, Net Profit 19.79%, Debt Ratio N/A .EPS 5.39. No way would I ever touch Wendy's stock with those numbers.

He looks like. . .
By now I know you've seen some of the look-alike comparisons of famous people to other famous people, or people to animals or objects. Some of them are dead on. Some are really frightening.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, one site is totallylookslike.com. One famous comparison puts Bono against Robin Williams. Here are some other good examples I found:
example 1 example 2 example 3 example 4 example 5
You get the idea.
I have one of my own. You've seen pictures of David K. Rehr, the president of the NAB. Who does he remind you of?

Ebooks and Apps
Books and reading have come a long way, and changes are happening more and more quickly. What we find really exciting is not the technology itself but the way it opens up the pleasure of reading to many children who would previously have been deterred. The Reverend Awdry might have been surprised to see Thomas the Tank Engine as an iBook – but we think he'd have been fascinated too.
