Decent hotel at a decent price. Free wifi was bad to useless. Great location.
There were a few bus tours and inconveniently, a bus blocked our departure one day.
Quick overnight stay for me and my son while we were visiting my girlfriend. Had a great time swimming in the indoor pool!
was a quick overnight for a family funeral in town; room had some issues - bathroom mainly-leaky off the seal toilet; little insulation between floors - room above sounded like there was a dance party going on...
Place was clean. Didnt appreciate needing to give a hundred dollar cash deposit cuz im local. Hotels.com should advise customers of this when booking. I only had $98 in cash & had to dig in car for change. I was told the pool worked. It was freezing,couldnt go in. Didnt bother telling mgr cuz it was 8pm & never would have heated before closing. Hot tub didnt look too clean so I passed. The place reeks of curry in every corridor.the rear entry was not locked overnight. The breakfast was free, no fruit all carbs.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

We skied 3 mountains in New Hampshire and Loon was definitely the best. Although we went to Cannon right after a snow storm, there was ice. 2 days later when we went to loon right after a rain storm, there was only a little bit of ice. The groomers do a great job and the high speed lifts keep lines smaller. The Thursday we went there there we seriously thought we were the only people there. the lift lines were non existent and we skied almost every trail because of it. You want to devote at least two days to Loon although it is not the largest mountain. There is terrain for everyone, except experts who will be a little disappointed. The North Peak area and the walking boss and flume runs are some of the best in the east (they have good pitch and aren't just cruisers). Not to mention the new South Peak area which is terrific. All three trails there are long, nice and have great views. It is the place to come when the main mountain is crowded. The new Ripsaw trail, which is good and has some decent pitch and a somewhat steep dropoff, is not as hard of a trail as they make it seem. The Kanc Quad area has a lot of good cruisers. The gondola is also a nice escape from the winter elements but the line can get long, especially on the weekends (use the 7 brothers lift during this time). Avoid weekends at Loon because the lines get long, parking goes fast (try and take a shuttle), and the trails get crowded. The only other problems i had with Loon, and i didn't have many, were that the lift tickets were expensive and the nightlife in the town is awful during the weeks. For the most part, the trail ratings were right about the ability level required to ski the the trail. I really liked Loon and recommend it to everyone.

I am programming a very simple text editor component for a personal project. It supports bold, italic, underline, righ, center, left and fill justification... so far so god. Using
TextControl.Buffer.ApplyTag( tag, start, end ), you press the button once, and the selected text portion becomes bold or whatever. If you press the button again, the bold format should disappear.
The problem is to detect tags and then remove them, so the format disappears. I know I can use
TextControl.Buffer.RemoveAllTags( start, end ); in order to remove all tags, and
this.TextControl.Buffer.RemoveTag( tag, start, end ); in order to remove a specific tag. But I am looking for a function such as:
TextTag[] GetTags(TextIter start, TextIter end);
... so I can detect which tags have been applied to a specific selection, but I am not finding that function in the documentation of Gtk.TextView nor anywhere else. Does anybody know about this?

Radio host Ron Jolly of WTCM recently wrote about right-to-work protections for employees in the Traverse City Business News, explaining that making Michigan a right-to-work state would lure more job creators to the state while allowing unions to continue operating and organizing.
"Labor unions point out that average wages are lower in those RTW states, but the Mackinac Center for Public Policy notes that when you factor in cost of living differences, wages are similar," Jolly wrote.
Paul Kersey, director of labor policy, recently addressed the issue of wages right-to-work states as compared to Michigan.

Honduras Elementary takes the spotlight
Published: Thursday, October 20, 2005 at 10:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 20, 2005 at 11:10 a.m.
HOUMA -- Two weeks ago, Sandra B. Hebert, a teacher at Honduras Elementary, in east Houma, went to collect her mail and was surprised at what she found.
There in her box was the fall edition of the Illinois Reading Council Journal, a professional journal for educators, which prominently featured an article Hebert wrote.
"Im excited and happy," said Hebert, a master teacher who serves as a mentor and adviser to other teachers at the school. "I worked really hard. People think you write an article and get published, but it doesnt work that way."
The Illinois Reading Council Journal is a statewide reading journal published by the Illinois Reading Association, of which Hebert is a member.
Heberts article focuses on Family Learning Night, workshops at Honduras Elementary that take place four times a year. The aim is to have students and parents work together to improve parental involvement in education.
Authors Frances Steward and Diana Goff also contributed to Heberts article, titled "Parent Involvement in Reading."
Steward, who went to graduate school at Louisiana State University with Hebert, is an associate professor at Western Illinois University in Macomb, Ill. Goff is a former elementary and reading teacher who is also an assistant professor at Western Illinois University.
The article details how Family Learning Night is organized and executed in an effort to bring children and their parents together through fun math and English activities.
Hebert said 40 students are allowed to participate in each session of Family Learning Night, and one parent or guardian is asked to attend with them. The students and parents move from station to station together, participating in a range of activities from reading poems, baking treats, writing or doing art and math problems.
The three-page article features Honduras Elementary throughout as an example of how Family Learning Night can be a success.
"Its not just me being published, but the school is published," Hebert said.
While Honduras is the sole school featured in the article, it is not the only elementary school in Terrebonne Parish that participates in a similar program.
"Its not a new concept, and I dont know how widely spread the concept is," said Pam Lemoine, supervisor of elementary-school education for the parish. "In Terrebonne Parish, it has grown. It helps families understand the learning process that their children go through on a daily basis."
Heberts co-workers are pleased with her, the article and the fact that Honduras is getting recognition in a state almost 900 miles away.
"It was nice," Principal Steven Redmond said. "I knew that she and this teacher were working on this together, and I thought it would be more of a partnership than a focus on Honduras. We are so proud of her."
Officials at the School Board Central Office are equally as impressed with Hebert and Honduras Elementary.
"We are inordinately proud that something we do can be shared with the rest of the United States," Lemoine said. "Dr. Hebert has gone to a lot of time and trouble to participate with the other writers, and it reflects well on Honduras and reflects extremely well for Terrebonne Parish."
Courier staff writer Mika Edwards can be reached at 857-2202 or email@example.com.

Product Description
From the Back Cover
Professional .NET 2.0 Generics
Generics represent one of the most compelling additions to the .NET platform, bringing a new dimension of type-safety, expressiveness, and performance to your data types. Professional .NET 2.0 Generics provides a detailed examination of all the facets of what you can achieve through applying generics. This includes both conceptual and syntactic explorations of generic classes, methods, interfaces, and delegates, as well as all the rules that govern their creation and consumption. The book provides comprehensive information on the new BCL generic types and the Power Collections library. It also looks at some of the broader generic topics, including generic guidelines, a comparison with C++ templates, and the underlying details of the .NET generics implementation.
What you will learn from this book
- Techniques for using generics to improve the type-safety of your code
- Steps on how to extend classes and introduce your own derivative generic types
- A point-by-point breakdown of the guidelines for applying generics
- Ways to achieve run-time efficiencies with generic types
- Tips on how to work with generics in both J# and C++
- How to extend and leverage BCL generic types
- Approaches to using generics with serialization and remoting
Who this book is for
This book is for Professional VB.NET and C# programmers and architects who may be new to generics but have strong Microsoft coding skills.

The first chapter is your standard first chapter and lays the groundwork for the rest of the book. It moves forward into the subject of Generics and new .NET 2.0 Framework featurews , briefly discusses the difference between templates and generics and them moves full steam into generics. To of the last chapters discuss J# and C++ in particular, as opposed more specific generics topics but they are definitely appropriate and don't come at the expense of anything else.
The main thing that this book does is explain why you want to use generics and shows how to use them. The author knows the subject matter well and does a very good job of explaining each objective. by the time you move into the middle of the book, you'll thoroughly understand how to create and manage generic types and you'll learn quite a bit about the performance implications and benefits. Chapters 4-8 walk you through just about every aspect of using generics (as opposed to the previous 1.x way of doing things).
Chapter 8 moves onto the BCL implementations and ties together everything before it. By the time you complete chapter 8, you'll be comfortable in your ability to handle just about anything you'd ever want to accomplish with generics.
Chapter 9 discusses Serialization, Reflection and Remoting. This chapter was ostensibly my favorite but is also the one I have the biggest complaint with. Don't get me wrong, it's excellent. However I really wish the discussion on remoting was a little longer. NOt because it's not in depth enough, nothing after all was left out or short changed. However the Remoting section has a really cool example and explanation, but it's so cool that I could have read 5 more chapters on generics and remoting without getting bored. I'm not really criticizing it though, my only point is that I liked it so much I wish there was more of it because I couldn't get enough.
After chapter 9, Generics guidelines are covered and then generics "under the hood" are discussed. The things that make chatper 11 really good are quite technical in nature and I couldn't possibly go into it in a book review but suffice to say that it's very well done.
C++ and J# are discussed next which are well done but nothing to get excited about compared to the rest of the material. Then th ebook wraps up with "Power collections" which is a perfect finally.
I've never read anything from Mr Golding before but I got his other 2.0 Framework book today too and I really look forward to reading it. Generics are an important subject and definitely warrant having an entire book dedicated to them, and Mr Golding does a great job expalining the ins and outs of them.
Concise and easy to understand, I totally understand why the book has the ratings it does - it's definitely a 5 star book.
The book begins on page 1 with a section labeled 'Why Generics.' After three introductory paragraphs he starts off with a couple of sample programs. The two programs do the same thing, but one is written in VB and the other in C#. After a few pages he modifies these two programs to show the benefit to the coding that using Generics provides. As I said earlier, this is by no means a beginners book, it's one professional programmer writing for another.
I don't knwo for sure, but his book probably has more space showing programs than text. This doesn't make for the easiest book to read, but when you get through it, you see exactly what Generics provide. You see the strengths, you see the limitations. You see exactly how to use them in your code.
Finally in the last chapter, which is 77 pages long, deals with the Power Collections generic libraries and how to use them. One thing he does not give is a web address for the collections. Here are some that may be of help:
Power Collections -- [...]
NCollection -- ncollection.tigris.org/
NGenLib -- ngenlib.sourceforge.net/
Anyhow, Golding focuses on explaining the use of Generics within .NET. The latter encompasses several Microsoft languages that now have this facility - VB, C# and J#. The book makes a practice of giving code examples in pairs; written in VB and C#. To broaden its appeal to practitioners in both.
He shows how Generics can be succinctly thought of as parametric polymorphism. It takes the elementary idea of polymorphism that every object oriented language has, and extends it to parameterising the input types to a class's methods or constructors.
The book gives a pretty thorough rundown on Generics. Including explaining the differences with C++ templates. The biggest being crucially that .NET Generics are instantiated at runtime, while the latter are at compile time. [Golding devotes an entire chapter to the consequences of this.]
You can get an appreciation for the extra type safety and generalisations possible in your code.
As a long-time C++ programmer, my favorite chapter was Chapter 3, which presented very cogent arguments as to why generics are not the same as templates. Another favorite is Chapter 10, which presents 23 very specific guidelines for all generics programmers to be mindful of. The book benefits greatly from always showing each example in both VB and then in C#.
I'm sure you could pick up a more general "Programming in .Net" book and read its one chapter on generics. However, since generics are probably the most significant addition to .Net, you will miss out on learning many of the powerful new ways to take advantage of generics that Golding presents in this book.

Has anybody put any real effort into finding a sponsor for KDEnlive?
The most obvious and likely sources of sponsorship would be Novell, Canonical, Red Hat, Mandriva or IBM. I've got a feeling that Novell would be the most likely out of those as they're more of a KDE distro than Ubuntu or Fedora/RHEL which are primarily GNOME. It might also be worth trying some of the big electronics/video companies like Sony, Samsung, Panansonic, Canon and JVC etc.
Ardour is sponsored by SAE (School of Audio Engineering) and k3b is sponsored by Mandriva and Lacie - KDEnlive is every bit as important to the world of FOSS multimedia as those two apps whilst not being as feature complete. Mandriva should also be VERY interested in seeing an improved, 1.0 worthy KDEnlive as they also seem to prefer KDE over GNOME.
I really want to see KDEnlive's development accelerate and get a real good, stable video editor released in time for the next Ubuntu. Why? Because I'm totally sick of these "Is this the year of the Linux Desktop" articles where you can guarantee people always end up saying two things:
1) Linux multimedia is poor (total lie or plain ignorance, normally because they tried a distro that didn't include the necessary codecs/libs by default)
2) There's no good video editors for Linux and I don't like/ can't understand Cinelerra's interface
If 0.6 didn't get released in time for the next Ubuntu then people would have to compile their own KDEnlive and the chances of decent desktop linux adoption will be delayed another 6 months or so.
Yes, I know there are other, arguably better distro's than Ubuntu but it is by far the most popular and thus is the first thing people new to Linux will try and so if KDEnlive doesn't work out-of-the-box its is a fail- Linux newbies don't compile, they re-install XP.
Sun, 12/16/2007 - 09:52
I think some TVs or producers would be interested in sponsoring Kdenlive.
It depends what you mean by "sponsoring" and how much money is involved.
If JB creates some kind of legal organisation in Switzerland,
I am ready to tour the French broadcasters, TV producers
to collect some kind of money.
Then we could propose real bounties with real money.
Thu, 12/20/2007 - 14:24
Before looking for sponsorship, you should ask BEFORE if core leaders are interested.

Pension funds face huge bill from UK indexing change, analysts warn
If the UK government goes ahead with plans to use consumer price index (CPI) inflation in pension fund regulation, rather than the currently used retail price index (RPI), it could mean billions in unexpected costs for the pension industry. The UK minister for state pensions, Steve Webb, announced last week that public-sector pensions would be indexed to CPI rather than RPI. CPI, which excludes mortgage payments, tends to be much lower than RPI (3.2% compared with 5% in June, and typically a difference...

CCC City
Everyday stories and adventures from CCC: The city of opportunities.
The world of Bitey and company is full of magic and wonder!
Based on everyday conversations between two friends.
I know there's a lot, infact, too many "Random" cartoons here on Newgrounds, but this one was unique. I liked it. Sure it was very, very, very short but hey. You're Wonchop. Lol, nice work 5/5.
You're the greatest! And you've inspired me to make more flash! :D
(Haha, please respond to this :P)
....wow....i think that flash lowered my IQ....but thats was still funny as all get up ^^
That was the best random flash I've ever seen!
It's not like all the other random flashes with Colon Mockery everywhere and a foreign song. Not that there's anything wrong with Colon Mockery, he's great! Keep up the good work!
An old blue scot called Dill
Randomness Reigns
A very random flash, but it actually did go to the music a bit, funny in parts, but overall uninteresting.
not another collab..
that's not ''cool'' at least carlito doesn't think it's cool. Your trying to make another collab but as far as i can see lately all the collabs i've een make bad quality movies. I guess when a bunch of people combine their crappy works together, they make one surviving movie.
a)This was all my work. Twas going to be part of a collab, but it didn't happen.
b)Who the crap is Carlito?

Is The Lexus RC F Better On The Road Than The Track?
The Lexus RC F is yet another sports coupe aiming to make BMW worry that the M3/M4 has past its prime and needs to be put out to pasture. What Lexus did create is a heavy car that can't match the BMWs on track, but what about cross country on the roads?
Is The Lexus RC F The Best M3 Fighter You Can Buy Right Now?
You know, my co-worker Travis said something recently that really stuck with me. (Not when he said "Stop selling cigarettes to minors," because he's just jealous my side business is so successful.) It was in his 2015 BMW M3 review, where he basically said you can either have the M3 or the M3 fighter.
The Lexus RC-F: Faster Than A Shelby Cobra, Maybe, I Dunno
Is the Lexus RC-F more powerful than the new BMW M4 coupe? Yes. Well, maybe. Probably. Is it lighter than the M4 coupe? Lexus didn't say. Is it at least as quick as a classic 427 Shelby Cobra? Lexus didn't say, but they did imply.
Lexus RC-F: This Could Be It
The 2014 Detroit Auto Show might just be the show of the high performance import coupe. We're going to see the BMW M4 for the first time in the flesh, and that will be followed by the Lexus RC-F. And this sure looks like it.

Guitar Mash-Up
Our new record is almost ready, we did some remixing on Friday and are all pretty happy about the way the songs sound. of course CBATFOW were always a guitar band, so just to prove …Read more →
THE WORLD2HOT MUSIC PROJECT - Cliff Barnes and the Fear of Winning, have a long history. Back in the eighties and the nineties, they were stars. On tour and on record they used their own brand of alternative country to question the politics of the world. Reagan was the target for the legendary "Fucking in the White House" Era, when he deployed the Pershing missiles in West Germany. Later the band played in East Germany a few days before the Wall came tumbling down. Some say the band had nothing to do with it, while others…… Between these political highlights there were a lot of love songs. The band toured extensively in Europe and in the USA. The band imploded in the late nineties only to return in 2003 with a new album, mixed in Malta called Godsatwork. The band has been quiet for many years now. The two main protagonists, Bob and Henry, worked on a side project called the Artland Country Club. They developed a pedal power system with friends in the USA, using four bikes to power a very efficient PA system. This makes concerts in remote areas possible. The guys have done shows for the World Wildlife Fund and various charities, but mostly to promote the idea of a better world with bicycles. The title the new album, WORLD2HOT was a logical result. Getting together again with Marcus, they recorded a record with a very low carbon footprint. Using photovoltaic, pedal power and even a water mill to produce electricity. WORLD2HOT is a cry of hope and a sign that to change things we need to find our voice again. Politicians have been replaced by bankers and multinational companies as the villains that control the way we use resources and our greed life philosophy. Tough words, but the band is older and has no reason to not tell the truth. Tell it like it is, is the message. Stand up and be counted. The time is ripe for a consensus for change, for tolerance and for love. In a world of suffering and bad political leaders we deserve more, for ourselves and for our children. Enjoy, think and help. WORLD2HOT is a cry of the helpless, the frustrated and the weak. We have to make a difference. Almost all photos by Manfred Pollert, except those not by Manfred Pollert. Band photo in the Lagerhalle Osnabrück from Angela von Brill.

Follow the red flag, follow the blue flag. Don't stop to ask yourself why.I've got a gun - Bob T
It's the end of the world as we know it - and i feel fineMichael Stipe - REM
WHAT IS THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND WORLD2HOT? The idea is simple. We live in a society that has been built on growth as opposed to need. We buy things because we are conditioned to buy things. We are taught to generate revenue because that keeps our economic house of cards from collapsing. The loser is the beautiful and very unique planet on which we live. We have been working with a bikes for a while now and more bike riding means less car use. The equation is simple, we are trying to make people understand that the only good product is a product being USED (or in use) and not the tons of stuff we buy and don't use. We are against wasting time, energy, money and resources and we support happiness, change and responsibility. It may sound like a hippie mantra, but that seems to be what we need right now. Read the various aspects of this philosophy below:
People fear art. It's dangerous, because you can't control it, you can't say "turn right here!" or "gimme more blue!". It either has blue or it turned right a long time ago.
Nothing can stop art, not an army, a religion or a dogma. Not even a tidal wave, because art is in your head and not on a canvas in a museum somewhere, art is where you take the things you see and touch and love and turn them into something else.
The job of the artist is to extend the boundaries of his own art; to fight injustice and to preserve the beauty of the world.
The studio is using 100% photovoltaic electricity, plus the pedal power system when we need it. We are using LED lighting and trying to make the recording with the least amount of electricity possible. The heating of the studio is using 100% recycled pellets made from wood dust. The idea is to have the lowest carbon footprint on this recording.
We are mixing in a bigger studio which gets its power from a watermill that turns like it has done since the middle ages. Now instead of turning the mill to grind the wheat, it powers a modern turbine to make electricity.
The difference between recording now and then is very interesting. Back then we used a lot of tube amps and microphone preamps. Now you use a digital algorithmus that reproduces those tube valve sounds. This gave us a chance to use the sounds that we love, but without consuming an amazing amount of electricity.
We see this project as environmental music. We have reduced the amount of energy needed to make this kind of music. And we used the modern technology which allows others to play on the recordings, without flying across the world.
Why are we doing this? Most of us are old enough to be getting our rocking chair out on the veranda to watch the world go by. But we are people that have always had an opinion. We fought for what we believe is right. And an artist should always have something to say.
We were also working on a pedal power system to make electricity using bicycles. This is our way of showing what is possible in a world where we have forgotten about the resources we waste, forgotten about how important it is to preserve nature and the beauty of the world. Art can be a force that can change the way we look at the world.
The studio at Planet USED is using 100% photovoltaic electricity, plus the pedal power system when needed. We are using LED lighting and trying to make the recording with the least amount of electricity possible. The heating of the studio is with 100% recycled pellets made from wood dust. The carbon footprint on this recording is minimal.
We are also working at the Mühle der Freundschaft Studio which gets its power from a watermill that turns like it has done since the middle ages. Now instead of turning the mill to grind the wheat, it powers a modern turbine to make electricity.
During our long history in the music business we have seen up and downs. We have had contracts with record companies, we even had our own DIY record label in the days of punk. Now the whole business has gone around and come back again.
And so we use the tools of the day and a lot more do it yourself. Crowdsourcing and some sponsors are enough to make a project that is more than just music. We are mixing art with an awareness for the world in which we live in. We used Pedal Power concerts to finance this album. But then just when you are not looking, along comes a record company that might just be the one…
BERLIN COUNTRY CLUB - Was it 1983 or later? Anyway Reagan was President and the only way to stop the fall of the American Empire was a masterplan "Made in Heaven". No one knows if it was the CIA or the FBI, in those days it could have been the KGB as well. But the answer to this was 5 musicians - handpicked for a dangerous mission, in the face of the enemy. And the enemy was very clearly out in force at the Berlin Country Club. Lorry drivers and bank managers in lumberjack shirts with girlfriends in petticoats and lace panties dreaming of Johnny Cash before Rick Rubin. And then live on stage the battle begins. The band jabs with a quick "Fucking in the White House" and parried a return punch with a short, sharp "Crazy about Kinski" and going into the last round the fight is even on points. But a draw is not a win and only the brave know how to swing with the champions. The band lets loose with a well timed "No one has an asshole like a Cowboy" and the game is won. Now get out of there fast and don't look back. The band left for East Berlin and with a suitcase full of Ost-Marks they did what Pink Floyd only talked about and really brought down the wall. The mission was accomplished. Now 25 years later, like a Hollywood blockbuster the band is being asked to save the world again. This time the codename is "World2Hot".

It is the job of art to fight the ugliness of the world. We use love and the fascination of beauty to do this. Beauty can be a kiss, a statement, a helping hand, a smile to uplift, a pat on the back, the knowledge that someone is with you in your quest. The world is a sad place when we thrive to make more and end up seeing less. But let it be said, in the end we are not experts, we have no surefire solution, we're just a bunch of idiots searching for the holy grail, like ships lost in a sea of indecision, we go where the wind blows. We eat and drink with thieves and kings, with punks and priests. We think and we progress, sometimes moving a step back, but never a step that was not necessary, never a step that could not have been a leap, because then we leap. We find ourselves singing about love a lot. What gives us the right to do this? Is it the words we find or the words we search for in desperation? Is love the question or the answer? The journey or the destination? The hope or the hopelessness? The answer of course is that loves moves the world, unrequited and sublime. And we are the storytellers that touch your soul, the missionaries that spread the word, love is great, love is good, love is omnipotent and also the bricks we use to build our songs.
I think i am the boss
Vocals – Born in London. Has been writing songs with Henry since the eighties. They played together in Surplus Stock, Cliff Barnes and the Fear of Winning and the Illegal Artists, before the Artland Country Club. Bob plays simple guitar and sings. His lyrics spin a web of intrigue down the highways of Americana. Loves bikes.
i let him think he is the boss
Playing lead guitar and more. Originally from the Eifel area of Germany, where a lot of Americans were stationed, he's been living in and around Artland for years now. Works as a journalist for a guitar magazine. Played bass guitar on most of the songs as well. As a songwriter he puts the soundtrack behind Bobs lyrics.
More than a musician
Guitarist – played with Bob and Henry in CBATFOW and now runs the Mühle der Freundschaft a studio close to Osnabrück. Marcus engineered this to the sound of the stream outside. Marcus is also a renowned producer and works with Tito and Tarantula as their producer and guitarist. Marcus is mixing this album.
Someone has to keep the beat
The only thing the band can't do is play drums. And the right drummer is harder to find than you may think. Lars plays a tea chest and his unorthodox style gave the songs a kick that can only be described as sensational. We are hoping we can persuade Lars to come on tour with us. Now who will carry that tea chest?
A women's touch
We played with Susan at South by Southwest years ago. Now she is back to spread some love with her violin. She lives in Chicago these days and still plays with Poi Dog Pondering. We sent her some files and she made some magic. Susan also runs a violin school and practices Thai Yoga. Beautiful….!
Banging stuff
The man on percussion and vibraphone. Felix played with the Artland Country Club. He has the best collection of broken cymbals we know about. Now the lead singer and bass player in the band King Caramel. They have a cd out now. Felix hit some stuff on "I've got a gun", "Cold Outside", "The Crossing" "Cardboard Moon" and "Mr. Rodriguez".
The Wah-Wah is alive and well
There could never be a CBATFOW record without this man. The Doc is a recognised producer, performer and engineer, as well as playing on stage with pop star Christian Steiffen. Martin played organ, synthesiser (mini-moog!) and piano, as well as helping us with the string arrangements. Now if he'd just come on tour…
Blowing their horn!
Tommy Schneller and his band play their own brand of blues and jazz. The guys are at home on the best stages in Europe. They came by on a Thursday morning and blew their way through three songs. We were thrilled and they took the songs in a new direction. Thanks Tommy (Sax), Gary (Trumpet) and Dieter (Trombone)!
The man who made us change
I could write about this guy for ages. Mike is a renowned producer and sound guy. He has worked with the stars and also with us. He is at home in a big studio and in a dark basement room. He never gets the money he should when working with us, but he is the secret behind this album. He told us to do something extreme and we did.
Singing from the soul...
Camille Bloom is from Seattle. She tours regularly through Europe with her guitar in the back of a small rental car and we have met up many times. One gig at the Kantine in Artland we got her to sing some harmonies for us. And that's what you can here on songs like "I let her down" and "Blue Skies".
Making everything look better
Very talented photographer and video filmer. Has been working with the guys for a while now. He is responsible for the live optics and all photos and videos. Manfred will visualize the Plant USED concept in photos and film and be a full live member of the band. This time the revolution will be televised.
He's just there..
Cliff Barnes and the Fear of Winning on stage would not be the same without Frank. He came with us around the world and to Schwindkirchen in his sandals! Sold merchandise, printed t-shirts and designed all the tour posters. And drank Mata Hari's with a Flock of Seagulls at SXSW – good times!

Before you want to make a decision on what centerpiece you would like to purchase or gift to others, you need to ask yourself this question: How long will you need your centerpiece for? Will you be hosting more then one dinner on Thanksgiving week? If you need a centerpiece just for the Thanksgiving day, selecting a centerpiece that is arranged low to the base (like the Family Gathering Centerpiece) with out a vase would work. It is usually set on a low dish and arranged into the oasis. It will probably last you up to 3 days if you check the oasis moisture regularly but will not work if you are hosting another dinner later on. Nowadays, some families host multiple dinners in a week to ensure everyone is participating. If that is your case, I suggest selecting something that is in a vase or in a solid container with a good water supply. The Country Pumpkin Bouquet that we carry comes in a ceramic container that will hold water and should be able to last you longer. The other tip is, select a bouquet that contains longer lasting flowers such as alstroemeria, poms of any variety and carnations. Happy Holidays!

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive, neurodegenerative disorder with no cure. Therapies that delay or halt disease progression are urgently needed, but finding such therapies has been difficult. In this article, we review historical and recent clinical trial work in the field of neuroprotection. Several issues have arisen during the search for disease-modifying therapies, including challenges in selecting appropriate therapeutic targets, assessing potential therapies, and selecting the proper patient population to study. Advances in the understanding of PD pathogenesis are presented as they relate to selecting potential therapeutic targets, and issues with preclinical testing are described. We review recent innovations in clinical trial design, including futility studies and delayed-start designs that promise to make clinical testing more efficient. It is hoped that ongoing work in this field will lead to treatments that delay the progression of PD.

DARPA Seeking Automated Decision Aids for Pilots and Battle Managers in Contested Environments
February 21, 2014
Advanced algorithms, software and human-machine interfaces are needed to help operators manage the scale and complexity of operations in near-peer contested environments
As commercial technologies become more advanced and widely available, adversaries are rapidly developing capabilities that put our forces at risk. To counter these threats, the U.S. military is developing systems-of-systems concepts in which networks of manned and unmanned platforms, weapons, sensors, and electronic warfare systems interact over robust satellite and tactical communications links. These approaches offer flexible and powerful options to the warfighter, but the complexity introduced by the increase in the number of employment alternatives creates a battle management challenge. Current battle management systems often lack the benefit of automated aids to help comprehend and adapt to dynamic situations. Further complicating matters, in future conflicts U.S. forces may face degradation or denial of critical communications capabilities essential for coordination and shared situation understanding. With both the complexity of coordinating innovative systems of systems, and the sophistication of adversary capabilities expected to grow, automated decision aids become vital.
DARPA's Distributed Battle Management (DBM) program aims to address these challenges. The program aims to develop control algorithms and demonstrate robust decision-aid software for battle management at the tactical edge.
"We're looking for innovative algorithms from the planning and control theory communities that go beyond current algorithms, many of which assume assured communications in the tactical environment," said Craig Lawrence, DARPA program manager. "Advanced human-machine interaction technologies for cockpits and battle manager stations are also an area where we're looking for novel approaches to enable greater comprehension and quick decision making in an increasingly contested and complex battlespace."
The program envisions two phases. Phase 1 focuses on technology development—planning, control, and situation understanding algorithms, and design of appropriate human-machine interfaces—and system engineering. Phase 2 plans for a team to build an integrated DBM capability to manage air-to-air and air-to-ground combat in a contested environment and to demonstrate that capability in large-scale simulation and live fly events.
DARPA has issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) solicitation for the first phase of the program: http://go.usa.gov/BHDP. Interested proposers may register for a Proposers' Day scheduled for Feb. 28, 2014. For details see: http://go.usa.gov/B7ze.

I decided to stay at the Eurhotel in Florence as it provides free parking and I know it has a direct bus route into the city centre of Florence. The staff at reception couldn't be more helpful and no matter who was on at the time, this was uniform. In fact, they were pro-active in providing us with information and assistance.
When travelling, I need good internet reception as I still check my work regularly. Unfortunately, the wifi here was hopelessly inadequate, regularly dropping out and very poor response times. The shower facilities were something out of the third-world! Small and squeezed in next to the toilet, it had virtually no base. Turning on the water was a choice between the shower flooding the toilet or closing the screen and standing under cold water. Inevitably, the floor was flooded after every use.
Breakfast was very basic although there was plenty of it. Only two different kinds of meat and small, stale rolls to accompany it. It was the worst breakfast in two months of travelling in Europe. It doesn't take much to supply fresh rolls!
I will not stay here again until I see some evidence of improvement in reviews.
