HPCS Storage Lead John White will be giving at talk at the annual Lustre Users Group 2016 conference being held in Portland, Oregon this week.
John's presentation will provide an introduction to the experiences and challenges involved in providing parallel storage to a HPC focused condo-style infrastructure. High Performance Computing Services at Lawrence Berkeley Lab serves as a middle-ground at the institutional level, between grad-student managed computation and the national-allocation class computing such as those offered by NERSC and XSEDE. Given our revenue sources, our infrastructure style is characterized by frequent small-scale buy-ins as well as infrequent 'large' grant funding. That challenge has shaped a nimble infrastructure that maximizes our customers' dollar/GB and dollar/FLOP but has lead to unique requirements from Lustre including upgrade paths that break traditional parallel file system rules. We focus on ease of management and, above all, a deep desire for uniformity across numerous Lustre instances to reach the goal of a true building-block infrastructure.
We are pleased to announce the "Low Priority QoS (Quality of Service)" pilot program which allows users to run the Lawrencium Cluster resources at no charge when running at a lower priority.This program, tested by Lawrencium Condo users, is now available to all Lawrencium users. We hope by implementing such a solution, it would help users to increase their productivity by allowing them to make use of available computing resources.The new QoSs "lr_lowprio" and "mako_lowprio" have been added that will allow users to run jobs that request up to 64 nodes and 3 days of runtime. This includes all general purpose partitions such as lr2, lr3, lr4, mako, and special purpose partitions such as lr_amd, lr_bigmem, lr_manycore, mako_manycore. By using these new QoSs, you are NOT subject to the usage recharge that we are currently collecting through the "lr_normal" and "mako_normal" QoSs; however, these QoSs do not get a priority as high as all the general, debug, and condo QoSs and they are subject to preemption by jobs submitted at the normal priority.This has two implications to you:1. When the system is busy, any job that is submitted with a Low Priority QoS will yield to other jobs with higher priorities. If you are running debug, interactive, or other types of jobs that require quick turn-around of resource, or have important deadline to catch, you may still want to use the general QoSs.2. Further, when system is busy and there are higher priority jobs pending, scheduler will preempt jobs that are running with these lower priority QoSs automatically. The preempted jobs are chosen by the scheduler automatically and we have no way to set select criteria to control its behavior. Users can choose at submission time whether preempted jobs should simply be killed, or be automatically requeued after it is killed. Hence, we recommend that you have your application do periodic checkpoints so that it is able to restart from the last checkpoint. If you have a job that is not able to checkpoint/restart by itself, or non-interruptible during its runtime, you may want to use the general QoSs.To submit jobs to this QoS, you will need to provide all the normal parameters, e.g., --partition=lr3, --account=ac_projectname, etc., for the QoS please use "--qos=lr_lowprio" or "--qos=mako_lowprio", and make sure you request less than 64 nodes and 3 days of runtime for the job. If you would like the scheduler to requeue the job in its entirety in the case that the job is preempted, please add "–requeue" to your srun or sbatch command, otherwise the job will simply bekilled when preemption happens. An example of the job script should look like below:====#!/bin/bash#SBATCH --job-name=test#SBATCH --partition=lr3 ### other partition options:lr2,lr4,lr_bigmem,lr_manycore,lr_amd,mako,mako_manycore#SBATCH --account=ac_projectname#SBATCH --qos=lr_lowprio ### another QoS option: mako_lowprio###SBATCH --requeue ### only needed if automatically requeue is desired#SBATCH --ntasks=20#SBATCH --time=24:00:00mpirun a.out====For condo users who have been helping us to test these low priority QoSs on the lr2 and mako partitions, your current associations with your "lr_condo" account have not changed so you can continue to use them but they are limited to lr2 and mako partitions only. If you intend to use other partitions you will need to change the account from "lr_condo" to "ac_condo", e.g., "lr_nanotheory" -> "ac_nanotheory". And we will phase out associations connected to your "lr_condo" account in the next month without further notice, so please make the change now.For more information about this program and how to use the low priority QoSs properly please check our online user guide.https://sites.google.com/a/lbl.gov/high-performance-computing-services-group/lbnl-supercluster/lawrenciumThe pilot program will run for two month (Mar 22 - May 22) and we will decide how to proceed from there based on the usage and feedback.Please forward your requests, questions, and comments to firstname.lastname@example.com during this pilot period.

We experienced an unscheduled outage of all authentication services including login.lbl.gov, ldap, OTP/pledge and other directory services on Christmas morning. Network engineers resolved the outage.
Networking and Telecom will take numerous short (1-2 hour) outages December 29-30 and one longer outage. The longest of these will take place December 29th which will impact AT&T mobile phone access, and traditional telephones at offsite buildings and the guest house, as well as VPN. The outage window for this outage is based on the expected time to complete electrical upgrades by Facilities and may be extended if the work proves more challenging than anticipated.
In addition, there will be numerous after hours outages on Friday December 18th to facilitate the work on Dec 29-30.
Current scheduled work in the Infrastructure Services area for the Dec-2015 winter break includes:
Tue, 29-Dec (tentative), times TBA -- Shutdown of 50A-1156 e-power to install branch circuit metering. We expect an outage of up to 2 hours for UPS-backed power and 1 hour for circuits that are just generator-backed during this installation. Most IT systems in 50A-1156 should be on dual power feeds before this time, so we expect the outage to impact:
All AT&T mobile phone and wired circuits (including the Guest House and offsite buildings)
WiFi service to the Lab
Remote access VPN service
Some building networking, including Blackberry Gate, Bldg's 4, 48, 75, 75a, 75b, 85, and Keck Obeservatory
Some limited CPP equipment
Tue, 29-Dec, times TBA -- maintenance to primary border router er1-n1 and ALS Science DMZ router sr1-als. We will have shifted traffic to the backup border router before this work, so the only outage impact should be for Science DMZ DTN's (managed by HPCS and ALS)
Tue, 29-Dec, times TBA -- maintenance to DNS anycast service. This may cause short (< 1 minute) interruptions to DNS resolution using the 188.8.131.52 anycast address.
Tue, 29-Dec 0800 - 2200, and Wed, 30-Dec 0800 - 2200 -- maintenance to non-data center switches at LBL. This will usually mean a ~ 5 minute outage per switch as it reboots into the new operating system, although some switches can take up to 30 minutes to upgrade their firmware and return to normal operation.
Tue, 29-Dec, times TBA -- maintennace to ir1-n1 and ir3-n2 routers and new larger power supplies for ir1-n1. This will mean a 10-30 minute outage for all routing for all LBL networks other than those at the ALS, at JGI, or in Zone 3 (buildings 31, 62, 66, 67, 72, 74, 77, 83, 84, 85, 86, and Strawberry Canyon gate house).
Tue, 29-Dec or Wed, 30-Dec, times TBA -- maintenance to LBLnet services switch. This may cause short (usually < 5 minutes) outages for network services such as ntp, dns, onestop, iprequest, etc.
Tue, 29-Dec or Wed, 30-Dec, times TBA -- uplink migration from end-of-life equipment for Buildings 1, 4, 14, 31, 55, 56W, 64, 77, and 86. Expected 5-10 minutes outages for these buildings as their uplinks move from old end-of-life equipment to current equipment.
Tue, 29-Dec or Wed, 30-Dec, times TBA -- maintenance to Bldg 84 switch. Expected 10-30 minute outage while this equipment is replaced.
Tue, 29-Dec 0800 - 2200 -- replace primary Bldg 978 network switch. Expected impact is several hours of downtime for most building network connections.
Wed, 30-Dec 0800 - 2200 -- replace primary Bldg 977 network switch. Expected impact is several hours of downtime for most building network connections.
Wed, 30-Dec 1200 - 2200 -- replace primary JGI Bldg 100 non-sequencer network switch. Expected impact is 2-3 hours of downtime for impacted 126.96.36.199 subnet.
The scheduled power work of December 18, 2015 will impact authentication to Lab services, email delivery and access to eRoom and Sympa lists starting at 5:30 PM. Authentication to Lab services and email delivery will be impacted for approximately 15 to 30 minutes; access to eRoom and Sympa lists will be impacted for approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
After testing ZOOM (a product chosen by ESNet last year) and comparing functionality and cost to our prior offering, we have decided to make a change. In December we will start deployment and training which allows a one month overlap with the current tool while we make the transition. (We will continue to offer and recommend Google Hangouts when appropriate - easily accessed via Gmail or Google Calendar)
Our documention is being updated (go.lbl.gov/vc) and we are preparing to offer training (including one-on-one sessions with Help Desk staff members). ZOOM is also on all the Video conferencing carts.

The following is NOT correct.
"One hundred and six consecutive miles of no towns. Or exits for that matter. Once you start there's no legal way to turn around."
Correct no towns. But there ARE several exits and entrances between Salina and Green River.
Example 1. Milepost 91 for state highway 10 to Emery and Castle Dale.
Example 2. Milepost 149 for state highway 24 to Hanksville.
There are others that are perhaps labeled "Ranch Exit". Yes you have to go a long ways to legally turn around.
On non-interstate highway 6 in Nevada it is about 169 miles between gas stations. Do not leave Ely or Tonopah, Nevada without buying gasoline first.

Are there no services in Emery? I know it may be a business boon to this Salina service station, but with the amount of troubled travelers, couldn't some rest stop be installed to help those who get stranded? Additionally, couldn't Green River or the state do more to better sign the east portion of that stretch? Great, thanks for the PSA, but what about some solutions to help our guests?

While it is 106 miles between gas stations on I-70, it's not like you're totally committed once you leave town. Between Salina and Green River there are numerous exits, almost all of which allow you to get back on going the other direction.
And, also, you can get off at U-10, and drive up to Emery, about 15 miles north of the freeway. It's out of your way, but sure beats driving back to Salina or Green River.

I seem to recall that there were no services for quite a way (not 106 miles though) from somewhere in Idaho and until you got to Snowville. I gassed up at some "last chance" station called "The Middle of Nowhere" where they charged a dollar more per gallon than the station at the previous exit was charging. I abhor such profiteering. I bought a minimal amount of gas, managed to be polite and vowed I would never be caught out like that again.

There is a dearth of rest stops in Utah. Having traveled I-80 and I-70 across the plains states like Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, etc., it's comforting to know that every 40 to 60 miles there are rest stops. Even though they don't all have full service, at least they are places you can safely pull off to call and wait for assistance for whatever the emergency might be.

I have never been on the Dempster Hwy that starts 25 miles east of Dawson City,
YT. Did drive the Alaska Hwy in 1963. Pavement ended 80 miles out of Dawson
Creek, BC. It was about 1,100 miles of gravel to the Alaska border. Only
pavement was in the YT capitol, Whitehorse. Also did the Klondike Hwy in 1963.
Back in 1963 the longest stretch without a gasoline station was about 75 miles.
The "outrageous" price was about 75 cents Canadian per imperial
Did it again in 1992 for the 50th Anniversary of the WW2 celebration of it's building. All paved by then and perhaps 150 miles shorter to Fairbanks. A lot of "straightening" done along with paving. Hope to do it one more time.
Met a guy riding a motorcycle carrying a spare tire around his torso near Watson Lake. He was returning to Vancouver after going up the Dempster Hwy. My family and I nicknamed him "spare tire John".

If you've got cable TV and are even a casual fan of soul/R&B music, chances are you've watched the show "Unsung."
The program, which airs on the TV One network, is sort of like "Behind the Music" — except it focuses mainly on African-American singers, musicians and music industry personalities … especially those who weren't necessarily crossover acts. We're talking about artists like Shalamar, Klymaxx, Zapp, Rose Royce, Minnie Riperton, Donny Hathaway and many more.
With a new season of "Unsung" starting this week (featuring, in the first episode, the life story the late singer Vesta Williams), we thought now would be a good time to share a "behind-the-scenes" conversation with one of the show's original co-executive producers, Mark Rowland. Check it out …
Creative Loafing: Let me start out by saying, in a very fan-boyish way, that "Unsung" is one of the best black-oriented television shows of all time. Seriously.
Mark Rowland: Thanks. I think [the quality of the show] just naturally flows from the subject matter. Because it puts the songs and the music in a larger context, and a personal context [and] also in a kind of musical history context … it touches on social, cultural, and sometimes even political history.
Totally. So, what was the original concept behind the show and how did it land on TV One?
All props to TV One there. It was all their idea. The series began in 2008 with sort of a mini series for four episodes. And they came to us. We [A. Smith Productions] are a production company, and as is the case with most television, especially on cable, [networks] generally look for production companies to do the work. So I guess some people there that had the idea and knew our star track record. I ran the "American Gangster" series; you know, coming from a different angle. So [TV One] sort of knew about that. And before that, there was a biography series called "Beyond the Glory," which was a sports series that ran for several years on FOX Sports network. I'm sure [TV One] probably went to other production companies too, but maybe because of those two series, they liked what they saw … and they decided to give us the shot. I loved the idea. Myself, I feel really lucky to be involved.
Who picks the artists to be showcased for each episode?
Ultimately, TV One chooses, but we definitely have sort of endless back and forth conversation with them about it. I put a list together and the producers come in with their suggestions; and I'll talk to my counterpart at TV One, and he usually has a whole list — and I would say about 80 percent of our names tend to be the same names. But then sometimes they'll say: "Well, we really want this artist." And if they say that then we go after them — because it is TV One's show. On a couple of occasions, I think I kept pushing a particular artist towards them to the point where they've seen enough. So it's collaborative, but ultimately TV One does make the final decision. But I have to say, this is about the most pleasurable experience I've ever had of working with a network. I feel we are really simpatico in terms of our feelings about what we would like the show to be and who we would like the artists to be that are on it.
Did you ever find it difficult to convince artists to talk to you when there is bad blood between them and, say, former bandmates or record labels?
(Laughs) Yeah, and sometimes I have not been able to convince them to do it. I am kind of hesitant to say any particular band that we haven't been able to get because I am always hopeful they'll change their mind. But, you've hit a tough subject. I mean, a lot of these bands in some ways [are] "unsung" in part because they fell apart due to internal strife; so, the grudges have ended up having a longer shelf life then the careers. And sometimes even years have gone by and there's two different bands now touring with the same name, you know. So yeah, there's that.
And then there's the fact that a lot of these bands have no real experience with television, so they kind of view the whole thing with suspicions. It's almost like: "Why are you coming? Why are you knocking on my door after 35 years? No one else has knocked on my door with this." [The band] Klymaxx was one example where they were clearly still not very happy with each other. Rose Royce was one where it wasn't a devastating split, fortunately, but there was definitely a split that went on there between some of the … band members and that was detailed in the show. And, like I say, there's a few that I just keep doing a tug of war with, you know, hoping that we can convince them — but we may never be able to because it gets kind of gnarly. It's too much, you know. I have to respect that.
And then you get a case that's a little different, like Zapp. There you've got this tragic family — crime, tragedy — that's at the center of the story and something that they've never talked about to anybody before. Lester Troutman, who we talked to literally for two months regularly on the phone, just trying to establish a kind of rapport. I think in that case, at some level, he kind of wanted to do it from the start to be a cathartic experience, to really finally tell the story from [the family's] view. But at the same time, he really worried about the way it would be handled. He kind of said he had been approached in the past by people [and] he could feel that they really just wanted a quick, kind of shallow, sensationalist angle to play off. So it took a long time.
Shalamar, I guess, was another one where they were not really as pleased with each other. [Jody Watley] is still complaining. I've seen her say some stuff on the Internet and trying to amp it that we held something back from what she said. Why would we do that? We threw everything out there, you know. I think she was just upset that we gave the other two members as much time on screen as we gave her, you know — and they were just more gracious. (Laughs) so what can you do?
Are there any rules when it comes to putting together a show? Does anyone, for example, ever say: "OK, we will never do this type of artist"?
That's a good question; I have never thought of it that way. No, there is no rule. We've never written down rules, like we're not going to do this particular kind of artist. I mean, we are looking for artists whose music, as well as their story, is relevant with the audience. But if there were artists that something about their personal lives just made them really kind of repulsive. It's not a tabloidy kind of program … I don't want to slam anybody, you know. But I think it would be harder to do somebody who just had like a raw reputation in some way … The whole point of the show too is to show multifaceted sides of people … [it's] celebration of their artistry and of themselves.

dashboard or needed to update an existing one had to engage a technical team to do the required coding. User friendly it was not, and accessing analytics was a time-consuming process that created a lag in getting insight. Version 15.0 is meant to make it easier to connect the shop floor and business operations. Through the Self-Service Composition Environment functionality in the Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence system, business users have the ability to create dashboards for real-time manufacturing analytics. In turn they can gain meaningful insight into the production's key performance indicators, or KPIs, and can more quickly make decisions about process improvements.
MII's Self-Service Composition Environment uses a next-generation user-interface platform known as SAPUI5 that gives business users drag-and-drop functionality to create dashboards. Not only can users access real-time streaming data from multiple data sources for analytics, but they also have the flexibility to manipulate data. Users can upload images of plant machinery and process flows that enable them to view streaming real-time data. They can then tag specific input or output points for detailed data monitoring and evaluation. Users can also access and refer to data from the core SAP ERP system that can then be used for analyses. Apart from analytic capabilities, MII enables planners to set up user-defined alerts whenever any KPI exceeds the predefined limits.
As with other dashboards, SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence offers data visualization in the form of charts and graphs. Not only can business users create dashboards using their standard desktop or laptop browser, they can also create them on mobile browsers using their tablet or mobile phone.
On a related note, production and maintenance planners may want to research Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) Management, a product meant to enable continuous improvement. OEE Management, which is installed on the local MII plant system, enables planners to evaluate equipment performance by measuring the quality of goods produced with the equipment's historical or current downtime details.
Companies will need to ensure that their Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence system is upgraded to at least MII 15.0 to take advantage of real-time analytics capabilities that Self-Service Composition Environment provides.

Okay I don't know know why someone would spend their wedding night here but for our purposes, relaxing after a day of casino, it was heaven. The staff were courteous, spacious clean room and bath, and the hot tub under the moon was sweet, nice low level yacht rock music piped in to set the mood. Imagine "It's the Right time of the Night For Making Love..." You know the song.
This is not a hip mod place, nor is it expensive. It's quiet and they give you a decent selection of teas at the very simple continental breakfast.

Tropico 4 Announced for PC and Possibly Consoles
Experience volcanoes, tornadoes, and droughts as you return to the island of Tropico in Q2 2011.
After the release of one expansion pack, Kalypso Media and Haemimont Games are ready to move on from Tropico 3 to a wholly new Tropico game: Tropico 4. You'll again take up the role of dictator El Presidente as you rule over the island of Tropico.
The newest game in the strategy/simulation series will, like Tropico 3 and its expansion, be developed by Bulgarian developer Haemimont. Kalypso promises a new campaign with 20 missions on 10 new maps; 20 new buildings such as the stock exchange, shopping mall, and aqua park; and six new disasters like volcanoes, tornadoes, and droughts. You'll also be able to appoint citizens to the Council of Ministers who can then help to pass any controversial decisions you make. Facebook and Twitter integration will be included as well, allowing you to tweet from within the game and set up automated notifications for when you unlock Achievements or finish missions.
Only a PC version has been announced at this time, along with a release date of Q2 2011. The press release does note, however, that "news on a possible console version of Tropico 4 will be made available soon." Tropico 3 was released on Xbox 360 as well as PC (albeit about four months later on 360), so look for at least a 360 version to be revealed at some point "soon."

I hear it was an okay game.Posted: Aug 13, 2010 12:00AM PST by steelerzfan101
This one I guess sounds pretty good. The PC version is the superior version.

How To Equalize The Acoustic Guitar In Audio Mixing
Equalizing the acoustic guitar
The acoustic guitar has an entirely different sound from electric guitar, so it has to be approached differently. Plus each acoustic guitar has its own sound depending upon the body size and the wood that it's made from. Here is how to equalize that acoustic guitar to make it fit a lot better in the mix. First thing we have to remember is, that the bigger the guitar body, like a dreadnought or a jumbo sized, the more bottom in it will have. That doesn't necessarily mean it will record better though because it might actually sound too big for the mix. The other thing is that a small body or a cut away acoustic guitar will have a lot less bass but that may make it sit better in the mix as a result.
The same goes for the wood that it's made from. Certain woods will sound better because it will be brighter and other woods will sound a little darker, and that will make it even fit better in the mix or stick out or actually fallback little in the mix. It depends on the song. It depends...
Equalizing the acoustic guitar provides you with in-depth training on Audio + Music. Taught by Bobby Owsinski as part of the Audio Mixing Bootcamp

text: New Implementation of a Log-structured File System (NILFS) The NILFS file system was created by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) at the Research and Development department of CyberSpace Laboratories. NTT was established in 1952 as a Japanese telecommunications company owned by the government. NILFS was released under the General Public License (GPL). NILFS was introduced in the Linux kernel 2.6.30. The current version of NILFS is version 2, often referred to as NILFS2. It is a loadable kernel module that does not require the kernel to be recompiled. The inode addresses are 64-bit in size and can manage volume and file sizes up to 8 EB. File and inode management are maintained in B-Tree indexes. The B-Tree indexes allow for faster file and inode searches. NILFS uses a continuous checkpoint (snapshot) system which occurs after so many writes or a certain period of time has elapsed. These checkpoints can be mounted as Snapshots. Files can usually be recovered which have been deleted moments before. Whether the file has been deleted, modified or corrupted, file recovery is easy. The number of snapshots is limitless in the number created, until the volume becomes too full. The log file used to store the checkpoints is not circular. That is, as the file reaches a certain size, the older entries are deleted and overwritten. So metadata and data are written sequentially into the log. With NILFS, the Journal is appended, or added to as the checkpoints are processed. When a system crash occurs, the file system can perform a very quick recovery. The recovery time is quick, yet the size of the storage unit does not change the recovery time. You can execute the command lscp to get a listing of the checkpoints and snapshots. A list is generated of the Checkpoint Number (CNO), the date and time the checkpoint was created, a Mode ('cp' for checkpoint and 'ss' for snapshot). Checkpoints (cp) can be made into snapshots (ss) by using the mkcp –s command. Use the chcp command to convert a checkpoint to a snapshot or vice versa. To create an immediate checkpoint, use the mkcp command. Snapshots can be deleted by using the rmcp command. Because of the Snapshots, backups are easy to manage without unmounting the volume and suffering a loss of performance. Since the checkpoint (snapshot) ability is built-in to the file system, there is no need to suspend drive activity while a snapshot is being performed. A background Garbage Collection system is used to clear deleted data from the log. Without the Garbage Collection, the log would eventually fill the disk. Files can be retrieved until the checkpoint has been deleted during Garbage Collection. Checkpoints will eventually be deleted unless the checkpoint has been made into a Snapshot. Data written to the log is also protected with CRC32 values on the metadata and data values. This can assure the metadata and data being recovered, especially after a crash, is valid. For redundancy, the Super Blocks are copied to provide extra copies. If one Super Block should become corrupted, then another can be used to replace the corrupted one. When a volume becomes full, it is possible to perform Online Resizing to allow the volume size to be increased. The increase can be up to the 8 EB limit. Where other file systems have issues with storing large dates, the NILFS stores the dates as 64-bits. By using 64-bits, the problem with storing dates past the year 2038 is not a problem. Timestamps are calculated as the number of seconds since 00:00:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on January 1, 1970 (a Thursday) until present. A 32-bit timestamp allows for the maximum date to be January 29, 2038 at 3:14:08 UTC. Using a 64-bit digit to store the date and time would allow for a maximum date and time of 15:30:08 UTC on December 4, 292,277,026,596 (Sunday). NOTE: Scientists claim that the sun should become a Red Giant by this date and destroy the Earth in a fiery blaze - . NILFS is optimized for performance. An older benchmark test from 2008 shows it compared to other comparable file systems. These results were from an e-mail server. With small files, NILFS was compared to BTRFS, and performed 25-38% faster. For larger files, NILFS was compared to REISERFS/EXT4, with a performance increase of 15-25%. NOTE: The performance boost is based on Solid-State Disk (SSD) hard disk for which NILFS is optimized. SSD's have no moving parts in them, such as a drive head or spinning disk. SSD's are electronic hard disks. NILFS has many capabilities, and some future enhancements include: Online Defragmentation Better garbage Collection Snapshots which can be written to (clones) Quota support Extent support B-Tree directory management There are many other enhancements being considered

Good 3.2 /5 from 97 reviews
Worst hotel I've ever stayed at! Place is falling apart. Ants crawling on the floors. Floors were filthy. Never vacuumed under the beds. 2nd story balcony is sloping and hand rails are rotting. I will never stay at this hotel. It should be condemned.
I don't usually write negative reviews for hotels. This was after all a 2-star hotel. But the room was not clean. There was a dirty towel hanging in the bathroom when we arrived, the base of the bed was dirty and stained with no cover, and the corners of the room looked like they'd not seen a vacuum in a long while. I felt ripped off paying $80 for this room.
One night passing through Ashland, great location but no food neatby.
We stayed at the Econolodge while attending plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. It is close enough to be convenient and it is a great value.
A good budget choice. Nothing fancy

CHARGERS: Bolts need to tackle 'D' woes
Starting unit struggled early vs. Dallas, Seattle
SAN DIEGO -- August has not been a time for good initial defensive series at Qualcomm Stadium. Two preseason home games, two rough first drives for the Chargers' starting defense.
In Monday's preseason game against Seattle, the Seahawks rolled to an early touchdown in even more impressive fashion than Dallas had 16 days earlier.
The Seahawks needed just three plays to march 80 yards for a score, finding the end zone on a 68-yard pass play during which free safety Eric Weddle missed a tackle on Seattle's Nate Burleson inside the Chargers' 40.
In the Cowboys game, Dallas drove 54 yards on eight plays for a touchdown in quarterback Tony Romo's only series of the night.
Of course, some observers say it's only preseason and there's no cause for concern. But it was an eye-popping statistic when the Seahawks produced 146 yards in the first quarter behind third-string quarterback Charlie Frye.
Repeat: This was Seattle's third-string quarterback rolling up the yardage, not three-time Pro Bowl selection Matt Hasselbeck, who missed Monday's game because of a back injury.
So what's the reason for the slow defensive starts? One key Charger pointed to a lack of intensity at the start of Monday's game.
"It's just being a little bit more emotional and having a little bit more of an attitude when we step out on that field," defensive end Luis Castillo said, "and coming out with a little more fire and we'll be fine."
Chargers coach Norv Turner would like to see a better showing from his first-team defense, but he's more disappointed by the unit's tackling. And not just on the play when Weddle didn't bring down Burleson.
"When we were at our best and we played at the level we want to play at, we did not give up big plays," Turner said Tuesday. "If you give up big plays, you're going to give up so many points. That's what concerned me.
"… We played good offenses. Dallas is an outstanding offensive football team. Seattle is an outstanding offensive football team. You get a better evaluation of where you are and what you need to do."
The Chargers played the Seahawks without two Pro Bowl players in defensive tackle Jamal Williams (knees) and outside linebacker Shawne Merriman (knee). Seattle rushed for 162 yards without Williams clogging the middle of the line, and the Chargers recorded just one sack without Merriman, whose 39 1/2 sacks in the last three seasons are more than any NFL player.
But nobody wants to hear excuses. And no Chargers were ready to accept any, either.
"My assessment is that we did not play as good as we need to play," linebacker Shaun Phillips said after Monday's game. "I think we need to go back to the drawing board, work on our tackling and finish some plays."
The Chargers have one more preseason game -- Friday at San Francisco -- to work out the kinks. The starting players will see less action than they did against the Seahawks, as Turner doesn't want to risk losing any key players to injury with the regular-season opener against Carolina looming on Sept. 7.
Turner said tight end Antonio Gates (toe) and offensive tackle Marcus McNeill (neck) won't play against the 49ers. Neither Gates nor McNeill has played during the preseason.
"There are certain guys that we need to protect and there's certain guys we need to get ready to play in the opener," Turner said.
OLB Shawne Merriman was expected to return to San Diego on Tuesday night after seeing a specialist in Miami to get another opinion on his injured left knee. Merriman could decide as soon as Wednesday whether to undergo surgery to repair two torn knee ligaments or try to play through the injury. "I would expect to have some information for you tomorrow," Chargers coach Norv Turner said Tuesday. … The injury to OLB Jyles Tucker (ankle) is considered minor enough that Turner said Tucker could have returned to the game if it had been a regular-season contest. … The Chargers cut five players to reach the required 75-player limit: QB Casey Bramlet, WRs Billy Pittman and Marco Thomas, TE John Tereshinski and P/K Billy Vinnedge. The final cut to 53 players will be Saturday.

While transactional memory (TM) research on shared-memory chip multiprocessors has been flourishing over the last years,limited research has been conducted in the cluster domain. In this paper,we introduce a research platform for exploiting software TMon clusters. The distributed software transactional memory (DiSTM) system has been designed for easy prototyping of TM coherence protocols and it does not rely on a software or hardware implementation of distributed shared memory. Three TM coherence protocols have been implemented and evaluated with established TM benchmarks. The decentralized transactional coherence and consistency protocol has been compared against two centralized protocols that utilize leases. Results indicate that depending on network congestion and amount of contention different protocols perform better.

Hemenway Landing is just north of Fort Hill, off Rt 6 in Eastham. We will paddle north through Salt Pond Bay and the vast marsh. There is new vegetation where we used to land, so we will probably not find a non-muddy place to get out of our boats for a break.
High tide on the outer beaches of Nauset Marsh is about 9:14 AM, so we will launch at 10:00 and there will be enough water to get over to the Coast Guard Station. Water depths were lower last summer than the previous year.
Hemenway Landing requires a sticker for parking in the parking lot. After unloading your kayak on the beach, you can legally park along the side of the road immediately above the parking lot.
LEAVE ENOUGH TIME FOR TRAVEL, UNLOADING AND PARKING. WE'LL BE LEAVING THE BEACH AT 10:00. If you are late and want to try to catch up with us, paddle to the left, stay along the shore on the left and paddle towards the left.
I will email you 2 days before and the evening before if I think weather may force a cancellation. This is not a good place for paddling in high winds.
All paddles are for experienced and energetic paddlers. This is not a place to "get experience on the water"...you need that experience before paddling with this group.
DIRECTIONS: From the Orleans Rotary, take Rt 6 north / east, go 2.1 miles (pass Fort Hill and Govenor Prence Rd on your right) and turn right on Hemenway Rd. This is NOT an obvious turn. Drive 0.3 mile, cross the parking lot and drive onto the beach where you unload your gear.
From the outer Cape, on Rt.6 driving south / west, pass the National Seashore Visitor Center (Salt Pond) on your left at the stop light..continue on Rt 6 for 1.2 mile. Watch for these 3 roads on your left: Christian Creek, Rabbit Run and Aeries, then turn left on Hemenway Rd.
The turn onto Hemenway Rd from either direction is not very obvious and the traffic on Rt 6 is difficult in that area. If you miss the turn, please go to the next traffic light to turn around...it's dangerous to stop in the left lane of 6A, hoping to cross the road and make the U turn.

Selena Gomez inspired fans everywhere with her tearful and heartfelt speech about bullying and forgiveness at Vancouver's WeDay event yesterday (Oct...
Whoa! Selena Gomez's rep has confirmed that the singer and actress quietly spent two weeks in a rehab facility earlier this year.
Justin Bieber has been laying a bit low, post-arrest. But there's lots of news surrounding him, including more Drake Bell nonsense and concerns regarding Selena Gomez and her overall role as catalyst for his issues.
Selena Gomez is fresh-faced and positive on her new Seventeen cover, which ranked her No. 1 on its first-ever Power List of young women in Hollywood. Sel has a super, duper squeaky clean image -- but that may be tarnished because a photo of the singer and actress has us wondering if she has picked up a nasty habit.
If they are not back together, at least they are on good enough terms to go riding scooters together! A civilian snapped a photo of Justin Bieber and his ex Selena Gomez, who broke up a year ago, riding Segways together in Los Angeles on Thursday, Jan. 2.
Justin Bieber made two big reveals during a chat with radio station Power 106, regarding his ex Selena Gomez. Neither shocked us, since they seem obvious, but it was still an affirmation from The Biebs himself.
Justin Bieber isn't the only one cavorting in bed with someone else! His ex, Selena Gomez, stars as Violet in 'Searching,' an artsy,'Memento'-like, black-and-white short film that's a companion to her Flaunt magazine cover.
When all else fails, stop trying to have spontaneous conversations with girls around Bozeman, read them lyrics of top pop stars! But which lines work best - Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Backstreet Boys or NSYNC?
It was another edition of Mean Tweets on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' last night (Oct. 9). In honor of Kanye West's monumental visit, after his Twitter battle with Kimmel, the show launched the music edition of the Mean Tweets skit, which found plenty of pop stars -- Kesha, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and more -- reading mean tweets about themselves, dished out by regular ol' Twitter users.
Singer Prince Royce has made no real secret that he has a crush on Selena Gomez, and now the pair are together! On audio, at least. Gomez and Royce recorded a duet for his new album, 'Sigo Siendo El Mismo' ('I'm Still the Same'), called 'Already Missing You.'
Like her BFF Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez opted for a mature, navy gown at the 2013 MTV VMAs. The pop star showed off her décolletage with a plunging, wide neckline.
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez celebrated her 21st birthday together, despite her claiming in interview after interview that she's single. You know what that means, right?
