I have a lot of high-resolution photos that I would like to create galleries from. Is there any limit to how large the photos I upload can be (assuming my server/website can handle it)?
And follow-up to that question, even if the photos are really large I would like them to display as "normal" size when user view them in the galleries. Is it possible to have the photos uploaded (and saved) in high resolution but shown as standard size (like 1024*768)?

Great! Used a white cake mix. 10 year old grand daughter made them and had a wonderful time. I'm not in a baking mood this year and this certainly fit the bill. Thanks for sharing a very good recipe. I like the cake mix for the crust much better than just flour recipe version. Gives it a little more cookie so you can actually pick up the cookie to eat it. Thanks a lot for posting.
This recipe couldn't be any easier. I melted the butter, which made it easier for the kids to spread into the pan. the first time we made it, we used leftover Christmas baking staples. It was so rich and delicious, I decided to use the basic recipe for a cookie exchange party. I will vamp it up with cranberries, pistachio, and white and dark chocolate instead of the milk chocolate and the butterscotch chips. ooh, or maybe dried apricot and walnut. yum.
5 stars! It's easy. It has very few ingredients, and it is delicious. Perfect for a Girls' Night get together or holiday party.
Excellent and easy. Only thing I added were some additional chocolate chips sprinkled on top right after it came out of the oven. This was for presentation purposes only. (The top is the same color as a bowl of oatmeal, ...so the chips added some color and a hint of what was inside) I passed the recipe along to 3 people who attended the party! A Keeper!
AWESOME recipe!! Easy to make, have given it away several times and each recipient LOVES these cookies...

|Reviews for The rain keeps comeing
| 8Silent Dreams8 chapter 1 . 6/3/2011
So a couple of things, and just to let you know before hand I'm not just going to mindlessly say its a great story, it wasn't. There are so many grammatical and spelling error's in here, unneeded parts, and the story went by to quick. That is not to say that the idea of the story isn't good, after all if it had been horrible I wouldn't have even stuck around to finish it at all and leave a review.
I would suggest, if or when you decide to write future things, you get someone to beta for you. Either someone you know personally or someone online.
Also another thing, if the story is not complete then please remove the complete tag, it is misleading.
But all of these aside, your actual plot idea is really good, as well as a new spin on Quatre. Just don't rush it for something like this, if a character changes so significantly ease your way into it. Or explain in further detail how these changes occurred.
Sorry for this long review. I think you have a lot of potential as a writer. Please keep it up.

| Faye Coon chapter 1 . 1/6/2006
I thought this was writen in a cute juvenile boy manner, one whom was really trying, so being a shota fan I apreciate that. But Alot was unclear or unspecific, or just silly plot lines. Everyone but Duo was completely out of cvharacter. Evn given its been a few years since anyone last spoke to Quatre, adult men usually don't change like That much. And what's with the boyfriend, it doesnt fit with anything, it dosnt work! And there was hardly enough romance to satisfy my yaoi hunger! I'd like you to read something of my own and tell me what you think! I could truly give you some pointers on subtlety. BTW arre you a boy? or a mentally handicapped female...its alright if you are...whos judging?

Please please please don't make this a one-shot. It deserves to be more than that. There was no romance in this one at all! Me want MORE! Please do more! Adios.

This is pretty good, but you really should find a beta. Please update;)
| Kaiser no yume chapter 1 . 4/9/2005
This was a good story. Though the mistakes made it kind of hard to read. Maybe you should have a beta look over it, and then repost it? Or use a word processor with spelling and grammar checking.
| Kat chapter 1 . 3/24/2005
I love this story, it is well writen. Please update soon!
| hama5 chapter 1 . 3/23/2005
Oh wow this is so good, I love the pairing of Quatre and Heero, and how Heero protect Quatre, I cant wait to read your next chapter. Wonderful work, really
| SkittleGoddess chapter 1 . 3/21/2005
I hope you continue this fic and i see some good yaoi action.
| Snowshoe koneko chapter 1 . 3/21/2005
Good story over all... I kinda wish we had more time to see the relationship break apart between both pilots and Tom. Also, I noticed you had a lot of spelling errors adn they made it difficult at times for me to read... I'm not trying to anger you... but I just noticed... I'm guessing you don't have a spell check? I don't either... Good Job though! _ *gives a cookie*

Cyberpunk 2077 inspirations explained
Mark O'Beirne
18 January, 2013
Insights from the writer.
A new
Cyberpunk 2077
related video features role playing game writer, Mike Pondsmith, explaining his inspirations for creating a dystopian metropolis of Night City. He explains the concept of the game, and the basis for a videogame adaptation. Pondsmith and his team have been looking to turn the game into a videogame for some time, but saw CD Projekt RED as the right developers to take care of it because they are fans of the game.
"Cyberpunk isn't about saving humanity; it's about saving yourself," according to Pondsmith; deep!
The original Cyberpunk 2077 teaser trailer has been seen over 6 million times in a week, and now you can get more of an insight into what it means and what the game is all about. The trailer looked absolutely bonkers, and obviously captured the imagination of those who watched it. CD Projeckt RED also launched the
game's forum
, allowing fans to express their thoughts on the setting, genre, trailer, and so on.
CD Projeckt RED may have other tricks up its sleeve. In the teaser trailer, fans noticed that one frame of the trailer contained a message. Head of CD Projekt RED studio, Adam Badowski, said, "As you may know, Cyberpunk 2077 isn't the only title we are working on. Those of you who watched the teaser trailer carefully know that something big is coming on the 5th of February. Everything will be clearer on that day. Right now I can only say that, for the first time in the history of our studio, it will be a fully open-world game (just like Cyberpunk will be). We also remember our games' trademark engrossing and non-linear storytelling. In the studio, the strong bond of these two elements - an open world and a captivating tale - is what everyone is trying to achieve. Both Cyberpunk 2077 and the second game draw upon these two pillars to bring our vision of a perfect RPG to life." All will be revealed on February 5th.

Skip to comments.He said what?? (Chuck Schumer)
Posted on 01/25/2014 4:14:20 PM PST by digdem
(CNSNews.com) - Although the tea party's influence is "undeniable," it is not inevitable -- and it must be crushed for the good of the nation, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) argued in a long political speech on Thursday.
"They've won elections, stymied Democratic priorities and taken a sledgehammer to programs that are important to tens of millions of Americans," he complained.
Among other recommendations, Schumer suggested an IRS crackdown on funding for tea party groups. "We have to look at electoral reform," he said.
"Our very electoral structure has been rigged to favor tea party candidates in Republican primaries, even when the district or the state may not be that red."
Schumer said "the tea party machine" has a particularly strong influence on Republican primaries, partly because the far right turns out to vote; and partly because of gerrymandering -- "where Republicans have learned to capture state legislatures and then use innovative technology to draw districts where a Democrat could never be elected. -

Imagine the tea party actually having the nerve
to elect representatives, people who don't vote
democrat! Oh the horror.
Schumer should be locked away for this.
I thought the TEA Party was a flash-in-the-pan, irrelevant, dead.
The Facist wing of the DIM Party is clearly worried, so everything has to be changed.
Shummer is an evil little man who confirms this every time he opens his mouth.
Traitor are hanged. Just sayin'...
What Schumer is saying is exactly the same kind of crap that came out of Cuomo's mouth, how dare Conservatives live in America..what Commies want are all Conservatives gone or dead so they can have their progressive utopia
Well, yes. It is good Washinton has so many lamp posts.
That would be something. Go after conservatives for wanting to exercise Article V, and then try to overturn Article II Section 1?
Chuck likes to old useless Republican's so he wants to help them to remove the evil Tea Party ,LOL
DeBlasio, Cuomo, & Schumer have a common denominator : NYC. Let it burn.
And Chinless McConnell agrees.
(Schwuler = Fag in German)
"Just the beginning of going after the electoral college."
When the Electoral College is eliminated and all voting power then resides in the major metropolitan areas (Chicago, Detroit, Miami, etc.), this will tear this country apart. We fought a war over "no taxation w/out representation", and it will happen again...

|Woo hoo!! And the first 27% is in!! Thank you all very much!!
Cuomo, deBlasio, Schumer and a host of other MarxoFasicsts are taking off the masks and the gloves, and we are seeing what they really intend to do to us be revealed.
They see us as enemies of the state.
And as history teaches, they ARE going to act on it.
Gulags and genocide are in our not-too-distant future.
Pray & Prep
Mitch has done lots to stymie Dems, so on balance he's done well. Stopping Dems is about all you can achieve without the numbers in the Senate, and Obie in the Hut.....unless of course the House wanted to close the checkbook and refuse to open it.
I need a bigger Gadsden flag...
There you go again. How 'bout saying something that energizes the troops and raises morale for a change?
I wanted to post a Gadsden Flag so I did an image search on Ixquick and under 'image' nothing came up. I then used the search engine Devilfinder and got the same result. I didn't want to use an image from a flag company because they'll probably break the link. If no flag shows above that's what happened. I even searched on 'gadsden flag, free republic' and found several threads but no pics of the flag as it is above remained linked in them.
Is the Gadsden Flag being purged from the net? I don't do Google or Bing so maybe someone who does can see if they can get an image there. I also used the search 'don't tread on me' and got the same non-result.
What the Democrats are very good at is "laying the rhetorical groundwork" for a future circumstance. They clearly expect to be crushed in the midterm elections. They will then run to the courts for relief.
I see you have the Gadsden but it looks like you have it on your own photobucket account. See my post #21.
Yep, it's gone from post #21 now. That's what happens when you hotlink to a commercial webpage.
This Thursday speech of his just keeps on giving. I'd go find the whole speech and read it but I'm too pleased reading different excerpts from it everyday.
He's broadcasting the RATS death this Nov without even realizing it. Dumb, insulated NYer.
I remember when Mayor Koch called him a "Putz".
Before that, I had no idea what it meant but knowing what kind of thing Schumer is, it became clear.
Schumer said "the tea party machine" has a particularly strong influence on Republican primaries, partly because the far right turns out to vote; and partly because of gerrymandering -- "where Republicans have learned to capture state legislatures and then use innovative technology to draw districts where a Democrat could never be elected.
"Hence, the Republican House member only has to look over his right shoulder and moves much further to the right than the average voter in his or her district would want."
The same thing can happen in Democratic primaries, Schumer admitted -- "but at the moment, it is far more exaggerated on the Republican side."
Oh yes, the commies do it but it is very very bad when the republicans do it...
It is what they are, mentally disordered.
Not right in the head.
There is no cure.
Many times I have posted this.
So, as it is said, one more time...
They are beyond help, they do not have the capacity to be educated out of communism disguised as "liberalism and progressiveness." They can not or refuse to see the destructive nature of communism disguised as "liberalism and progressiveness" they promote.
What the supporters of communist "liberalism and progressiveness" will destroy is the very nation that gave them their freedom. They will complain, demonize, belittle and protest when opposed for nothing other that preserving this Republic in it's original context "by the consent of the governed."
They will not stop destroying this nation of their own accord.
The only way to preserve freedom for American Citizens in this Republic is suppression of the communist supporters by some overwhelming means.
"Taking the high road" is rapidly becoming something to be put on the shelf for a while. It is now time to step up, get in their face and refuse any narrative other than they are worthless communist agenda bastards undeserving of a place in this Republic.
I think the liberals actually like the electoral college system...been playing on it's weakness for years...
They pretty much have 210 voted sewed up every national election...
That leaves them lots of money and resources to get the 60 more votes to win...
Soros funded an organization geared to winning as many elected Secretary of State seats as possible (Secretary of State Project)a critical position in certifying the electoral college vote in states...
I think libtards fear state legislations changing the laws so each state congressional district the candidate wins gets that electoral vote.....
That would vastly change the face of running a campaign and dilute the dems locked states...
Methinks not.
Despicable cesspool dwellers
I don't live in a world of wishful thinking.
I recall people in 2008 telling me that my pessimism about Obama was 'not helpful to America'.
History is a clear teacher. Unicorns and skittles are not going to do away with where history says we are going.
I quit using Google a long time ago, and went to Bing search. That's where I found the gif of the Gadsden flag you're asking about.
Seems to me, if the image were being systematically purged from the web, Google and Bing would be the last places you'd find it, but they both have tons of them.
Thanks for checking. Ixquick searches Google and other engines itself and usually comes up with tons of images no matter what the search. To get the 'no documents of that description' message for both 'gadsden flag' and 'don't tread on me, flag' (and variations thereof) just amazes me. Not even the commercial postings of it, which obviously exist, come up.
Gadsen Flag .svg
that should be good enough quality to create the master.
Who's talking unicorns and skittles? I'm talking about raising group morale, which has to be done, if we're to have any hope of winning this emerging fight. You can't do that by constantly telling people that they're powerless before the gargantuan, almighty state.
There isn't a military on the face of the earth that can defeat a home grown, armed insurgency, tens of millions strong, as long as that insurgency has the willingness to stand and fight.
The enemies of freedom know this, which is why they do everything in their power to defeat the patriotic right on the only battlefield on which they can win --- the mind.
Please do not render them aid and comfort in that endeavor.
We should make a small contribution to the tea party every time one of these tyrants attacks the Tea Party.
He looks like he was switched at birth with Lemony Snicketts
Thanks, I clicked on 'image search' from that and sure enough there were tons of them. Maybe Ixquick has a glitch today. It usually produces excellent results no matter what the subject matter. I appreciate the feedback.
You bet, Tiger. Glad I could be of help.
I have to believe that even some libs are aghast at the statements Schumer is making. Change the names, and this could be coming straight from the mouth of Goebbels in 1939.
You're not helping my paranoia, your link doesn't work for me! lol
Until this people do II Chronicles 7:14 we have already lost the fight.
We cannot win against tyranny by our own strength or patriotism or whatever other physical/material thing men and flesh rely on.
Our culture has refused to take a stand against wickedness and evil being institutionalized. What makes you believe this same culture will take a stand against tyranny? Tyranny is the bastard son of a sinful culture and people gone astray from God to follow their own lusts.
Most have surrendered our national morality via apathy or indifference to agendas that gave birth to this tyranny.
There isn't a military on the face of the earth that can defeat a home grown, armed insurgency, tens of millions strong, as long as that insurgency has the willingness to stand and fight.
The only willingness I see out there is the one that complies with "laws" and "orders".
Unless and until the churches and this people turn to God first - any hope we have in being victorious over this domestic enemy is a hope built on a foundation of sand.
Before the War of Independence, the Colonists recognized they suffered a tyrant because of their sins and the work was on for national revival and repentance.
But there are no Jonathan Mayhews, Jonathan Edwards or George Whitefields now. Today we have Rick Warrens, Benny Hinns and Joel Osteens who preach the prosperity gospel, 'tolerance' and how not to judge wickedness instead of the message of national repentance.
God does not often save His People from the consequences of their sins.
We haven't begun to even acknowledge them yet. But despite all this - the rhetoric coming from the MarxoFascists is one that will lead to Gulags and Genocide unless and until this people turn en masse in repentance.
History is pretty clear about the direction we are going, and I do not see a deviation from that path we seem to be steamrolling down.
If this people need smooth and easy words to assuage the hard truth of where we now find ourselves - then they will in no wise be able to resist this enemy now ruling us for they will refuse to hear the truth that could save them.
The white flag you wave, is yours alone. You don't speak for the rest of patriotic America, who can and will take back their country, as long as they stay resolute in their minds.
It's a lot tougher to do, with harbingers of doom like yourself, incessantly bleating out messages of hopelessness to their brethren.
If this people need smooth and easy words to assuage the hard truth of where we now find ourselves - then they will in no wise be able to resist this enemy now ruling us...
There you go again, putting words in my mouth. I told you the first time, I'm not talking about preaching skittles and rainbows. I'm talking about words that rally our people to find their courage. Words that inspire them to stand for all that this nation was founded upon, and to resist the burgeoning tyranny in front of us.
But you first have to believe in yourself and in the people. If you've already given up on yourself, then it's no wonder that you've lost hope that any other man retains his courage. You believe others cannot stand, because you yourself cannot.
Well, it's just not true. I don't care how eloquently you expound on your dismal conclusions of doom and gloom - they're in your eyes only.

CHICAGO – The national acting treasure Julianne Moore never shies away from a performance challenge. From her memorable exposure in Robert Altman's "Short Cuts" to her willingness to go all the way in Paul Thomas Anderson's "Boogie Nights," Moore has proven that true vulnerability in a role requires the ability to bare – and bear with – all.

spring sighs
and brings itself alive,
beyond reason it shines
in tune and in place,
it thrives.
half cocked i shared the blackbirds eye
as i passed,
conscious of the temperature drop
as the sun rises.
the road thick with ice
as time moved by,
i am finally awake,
and in my own mind.
spring is rich
it spreads itself
far and wide,
but different distribution methods
seperate you and i.

Its not a hardware world anymore: Service Revenues for the IoT will reach $500 Billion by 2018, dwarfing the $33 Billion in revenue expected form devices in 2018
Harbor Research releases its new Smart Systems Global Forecast 2013-2018, staying ahead of the latest changes in the IoT space
Harbor Research is pleased to announce the publication of their 2013 Smart Systems Global Forecast Report. Harbor comprehensively analyzes the evolving Smart Systems and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) market size, growth rates and the current state of adoption of intelligent device networking technologies and managed services. The study also analyzes the diverse challenges that the market faces going forward.
Glen Allmendinger, Harbor Research Founder and President notes, "Technology adopters are vigorously debating the evolving nature of business and profit models driven by pervasive connectivity and open, collaborative systems. Everyone agrees that after the shift from closed and proprietary to open and connected, competitive advantage and profitability will lie in creative use of shared, non-owned commodities and the real-time customer contact and services they make possible. Differentiation, value addition, and brand-identity will now occur at a higher level, not at just the core product. Obviously, companies will continue to prosper in open, connected landscapes, but they will do so in different ways—some of them variations on old models, some entirely new."

Spinning forward
Julie Coin won't soon forget the first week of the U.S. Open. The unknown from France pulled off one of the biggest upsets in history by knocking off a subpar world No. 1, at least for now: Ana Ivanovic.
No such drama on the men's side, where behemoth Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, now the chaser, didn't drop a set. Here are a few things to keep an eye on in Week 2, besides a possible duel between the big two.
American men: The last time an American man reached the semifinals of a Grand Slam, Federer was still playing like, well, Federer. Andy Roddick was the fella, and Federer pummeled him at the 2007 Australian Open in a match that was supposed to be tight, since the Nebraska native dispatched the Swiss at an exhibition a week earlier.
Roddick still figures to be the top U.S. threat. Abolishing a tricky draw, which included gunslinging Latvian Ernests Gulbis in the second round, the newly turned 26-year-old is on his way to the quarterfinals if he can overcome the many weapons of Chilean Fernando Gonzalez. So far, so good under temporary coach Patrick McEnroe, he of the many hats.
Mardy Fish downed good pal James Blake in front of a raucous J-Block crowd Saturday night and is a victory away from making his second Grand Slam quarterfinal. Fish, who like Roddick is armed with a big serve, says he's more content after becoming engaged to Stacey Gardner -- the two are due to be married in late September. (Why wouldn't he be? Gardner is a model with brains.)
Up next for Fish is the unpredictable, excitable, colorful ... Gael Monfils.
Sam Querrey, 20, reached the fourth round of a major for the first time. He should enjoy it. Some guy named Nadal follows.
Williams vs. Williams: Let's face it: With the women's draw in disarray -- two of the top three seeds, including Ivanovic, exited in the first week, and drawing card Maria Sharapova wasn't at Flushing Meadows altogether -- the expected quarterfinal battle of the Williams sisters is the real finale.
If it wasn't for Nadal's memorable win over Federer in the Wimbledon men's final in July, Venus' triumph over Serena in the women's championship a day earlier would garner a little more appreciation. Unlike most of their other meetings, it was high-quality stuff, as Venus rallied from a first-set hole to prevail and claim a fifth crown. Serena was none too pleased, casting aside notions that their head-to-heads had preplanned outcomes.
Both have since dealt with knee injuries, perhaps the reason for quarterfinal singles losses at the Olympics.
Serena has more riding on the second week. The most in-form player on the circuit in the spring, the younger of the siblings has essentially nothing to show for it. She last won the U.S. Open in 2002, not even advancing to the semis thereafter. A year earlier was Venus' last U.S. Open title, also her last Grand Slam title of any kind away from the All England Club.
Double J: A drama queen Jelena Jankovic is, but that's why she's so compelling.
Always dealing with some kind of injury (a calf strain was her latest ailment), the bubbly Serb was accused of gamesmanship in a second-round struggle with Swede Sofia Arvidsson. Jankovic uncorked a serve as Arvidsson asked her to wait and almost took a nap on court, lying on the pavement for 30 seconds, face down, after chasing a drop shot.
In her third-round win (7-5, 7-5 over dogged Chinese baseliner Zheng Jie), Jankovic fought through 11 deuces in the final game. The world No. 2 was then forced to rally from a set down against Danish teen Caroline Wozniacki, who's destined for the top 10, on Sunday.
Jankovic has a smooth path to the semis, where Olympic gold medalist Elena Dementieva will probably be waiting.
For all her charisma, Jankovic has yet to reach a Grand Slam final, getting closest when she blew a set and break lead to Justine Henin in the Open semifinals two years ago.
"I'm trying to do my best to bring my game to the next level," Jankovic said. "We'll see how everything goes. The most important thing is I believe in myself, and I really want to do it."

It hasn't been a seamless ride, but Andy Murray has made his way into the fourth round of the U.S. Open.
Popeye: No, Robin Williams isn't strolling the grounds. The next best thing, Andy Murray, is.
Murray, once scrawny and prone to faltering physically, can't stop flexing his ever-growing biceps. He did it upon completing a rally from two sets down against Richard Gasquet in the fourth round at Wimbledon, then again when he came back Saturday against Austrian lefty Jurgen Melzer.
Spinach or no spinach in tow, the gesture, Murray claims, is meant to show his team all the hard fitness work is paying off. Skeptics argue it's aimed at detractors who still question his stamina.
Whatever the reason, the ultra-talented Scot, ranked sixth and rising fast, could be flexing his muscle a little more.
Murray, behind Nadal and sizzling Argentine Juan Martin Del Potro, enjoyed the most productive summer among the men. He won his first Masters title in Cincinnati in August and has beaten every player in the top five except Nadal, a possible semifinal foe.
Murray is single-handedly trying to become the U.K.'s first Grand Slam men's singles winner since Fred Perry in the 1930s, now that Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski are long retired.
"That's my goal for the tournament, to try to win it," he said. "I don't think that if you set yourself a target of third round and you reach it, you can kind of feel like you've achieved what you came here to do."
The men's pups in the top half: At 26, Mardy Fish must feel like a dinosaur. He's by far the oldest player remaining in the top section of the draw, trimmed to eight. Nadal, Murray, Querrey and Monfils are among six 22 or under.
Juan Martin Del Potro is also in the posse.
The imposing Argentine, three weeks shy of his 20th birthday, has won 22 consecutive matches and four straight tournaments. Some achievement, yet one that might have been overlooked by a few given his last two titles, in Los Angeles and Washington, came during the Olympics.
Del Potro, who prefers playing on hard courts, continued his magic Saturday when he downed French wall Gilles Simon in five sets.
"I feel happy because I win, but I cannot move anymore," Del Potro said.
His artillery includes a big serve and explosive forehand, though his two-handed backhand is steadier.
Del Potro's next challenge comes from Japan's speedster Kei Nishikori, the youngest of the bunch at 18. Nishikori, tipped for the top five by none other than Nadal in June, won his own five-set tussle Saturday against the slumping fourth seed, David Ferrer.
Monfils, one of the most athletic players prowling the circuit, is on a roll, too. He reached the quarterfinals at the Olympics under the no-nonsense Roger Rasheed, his latest coach.

Record match
It was not an artistic or aesthetic success, but Sunday's fourth-round match between Sybille Bammer and Marion Bartoli made history.
The match began at 1:57 p.m. ET and when Bammer had prevailed 7-6 (7), 0-6, 6-4, the clock read 5:02. It added up to a 3-hour, 5-minute marathon -- the longest women's match in the long history of the U.S. Open, and the second-longest, period.
The first set alone ran 80 minutes -- only 16 minutes shorter than Federer's entire third-round victory over Radek Stepanek.
The previous record was 3:03, set in 2003, when Justine Henin-Hardenne defeated Jennifer Capriati in the semifinals 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 (4) on her way to the title.
On paper, it might seem odd that a match with a 6-0 set took so long, but Bartoli was terribly ill. The 2007 Wimbledon finalist (she lost to Venus Williams) vomited twice on court. And doctors who attended to her during the match found her blood pressure abnormally low.
"The only thing I've eaten or drunk in the last 24 hours is orange juice," Bartoli said later. "I tried with everything I had and gave my maximum. It's a miracle I lasted three hours with nothing in my stomach."
Bartoli repeatedly took extra time between points, particularly on her serve. Believe it or not, Bartoli won 99 points in the match, four more than Bammer.
The longest women's match on record? In the 1984 Virginia Slims tournament in Richmond, Va., Vicki Nelson Dunbar outlasted Jean Hepner 6-4, 7-6 (11) in a match that consumed an amazing 6 hours, 31 minutes. The tiebreaker -- this was the era of the moon ball -- alone took 1 hour, 47 minutes.

With technology scaling down, leakage power plays an increasingly important role in low power logic design and becomes more susceptible to process and temperature fluctuations. In this paper, a novel adaptive body bias technique is proposed to minimize leakage power and compensate process and temperature variations of nanoscale CMOS VLSI circuits in standby mode. Taking sub-threshold current, gate leakage and band-to-band current into consideration, the optimal value of body bias is determined by comparing the drain leakage currents of two off-state replica clusters applying two slight different body bias voltages. The proposed circuit was implemented using 90nm CMOS technology and applied on ISCAS85 benchmark circuits to validate its efficiency in different process corners (slow, typical and fast process) and operating temperatures (ranging from -40°C to 85°C). Simulation results indicate that the maximum standby leakage power reduction percentage is 93.94%. The proposed circuit can adaptively adjust the body bias to its optimal value during the whole standby period, which results in considerable reduction of leakage power and effective compensation of process and temperature variations.

Historical Traveler Reviews Four Points Hotel And Suites Kingston
We Like This Hotel - Why All The Bad Reviews?
I'm perplexed by all these bad reviews for the Four Points Sheraton Kingston, so I'm compelled to add a review. We have stayed several times while visiting family in the Kingston area, and have always enjoyed our stay. Our most recent was Dec 29-31, 2004. We had a junior suite (queen + dbl sofa) overlooking old Kingston, and we paid $119 CAD. It was just my wife and I and our 6 year old. Our other two kids stayed with family elsewhere, but we did all come back and enjoy the pool a couple times.
The things I like about the hotel (which seem opposite from other recent reviews):
* The hotel is relatively new. You're not dealing with dingy old rooms and fixtures and things - we have always found it to be clean and tidy.
* The underground parking. How can anyone complain about secure parking out of the cold, rain, snow, etc.? Yes, it's tight as you are leaving the lot, but come on! Learn how to drive. We had no problem with our 8 passenger SUV in there.
* The pool. There is a hot tub (kids love it), a pool (kids love it, and contrary to other reviews it is NOT a lap pool), and a sauna (which is so-so since it doesn't get hot enough for my taste). There is a fitness center in a separate room off the pool area with some treadmills and bikes but we never used it. The pool is not olympic sized with a couple of high dive platforms that other reviewers seem to be expecting, but is a pretty typical hotel pool.
* The restaurant is fine, with friendly staff. I can't comment on lunch or dinner, but we had breakfast there twice. They came around with a basket of toys both mornings for our daughter to pick something out for herself to keep, which was nice. To be honest, I wouldn't recommend it for dinner because there are good restaurants nearby, so why would you eat in a hotel restaurant? But I don't say that because of any issue with the restaurant.
* The location. Short walk to the waterfront and/or downtown. What's with these reviews saying how far it is to the water? Walk out of the hotel, twist yourself southeast, and walk for three minutes and by then you will have stepped off a dock into Lake Ontario. Unless you're a REALLY slow walker. If you don't believe me, I urge you to look at a map of Kingston and look for the southeast corner of King and Clarence, where the hotel is. You will see that it is about 400 feet to the water's edge. Anyway, back to the good location. There are great restaurants a short walk away. We ate at Chez Piggy one night - highly recommended. Their bakery is a short walk away on Princess Street. Speaking of Princess Street, you can walk along there for quite a ways and enjoy the shopping.
* The staff were always friendly to us.
The Four Points has become our default hotel when we are in the Kingston area.
Four Points why this hotel is unsatisfactory
I stayed here in January for the first, and last time! Here is why!
The rooms are small! I could hardly spread my arms out without hitting a piece of furniture or the wall!
The "pool" is a lap pool, small and not really great for kids. Plus, their gym facilities are small, even by hotel standards!
The parking is horrendous. A small, ill planned garage beneath the hotel! If you were lucky enough not to hit anything on the way down, don't count on others doing the same!
Staff are unfriendly, cold, and should be more hospitable given the prices. For a room that can cost over $200 (in their high season, albeit this wasn't my January rate) the staff are rude!
For the four reasons listed above (and I am sure many others) I would avoid this place.
Felt unwelcome
There isn't much to say about this hotel other than the staff are unfriendly and not welcoming. I've visited many times and they are cold and not hospitable. Its a shame since the facility is nice, rooms somewhat small. I'll continue to stay elsewhere and advise others do the same.
Don't be fooled
I visit Kingston often for business, and when this hotel opened, as it is relatively new... I was interested to try out a new hotel.
Well, I visited near opening, and also most recently and I must say nothing has changed! The hotel looks great from the outside, but its certainly deceiving!
I've had shoeboxes bigger than my room, and the service stinks. The Front Desk has such attitude, checking in and out is just annoying.
Kingston has many other good hotels to chose from, skip this place and go somewhere else.
Never again
My husband and I stayed at the Four Points in August and were thoroughly disapointed. While I know that Four Points is the cheaper version of Sheraton, I think this hotel goes to far.
What I Didn't Like:
- The rooms were too small! Some of the smallest I've seen!
- The staff were rude and had a stuck-up attitude, didn't make you feel
- The hotel advertises some rooms overlooking the water... but this
was a stretch. The hotel is a FAR block up from the water's edge.
- The room was extremely expensive.
- The garbage cans had refuse in them when we arrived to our room
- The hotel promises a great deal, and delivers very little.
What I Did Like:
- Checking out.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kingston. The city is beautiful and there appears to be many other hotel options other than the Four Points. I suggest anyone visiting use them.
Easter weekend
We stayed here Easter 04. Were overcharged and had a terrible stay as my wife is a professional CMA ,and were not allowed a discount. We were 4 hours from Kingston and forced to pay the exorbadent price, could have went to Mexico for a week for the price charged, will never recommened this place.
Gordy Desjarlais, Innisfil Ontario.
Would not go back
I stayed here a couple years ago and really enjoyed my stay. Everything was clean, and the staff really seemed to be making a lot of effort. When I visited Kingston again I picked the Four Points.
We checked into the junior suite, which has a very awkward layout, but that's no big deal. Stepped onto the balcony and saw that the balcony (tiny - really not much bigger than a Juliette balcony) was covered in spiders and spider webs, dead bugs, and just generally dirty. Oh well, we didn't really plan to spend much time on the balcony, and closed it.
That night I decided to heat up some water in the coffee maker to make tea, but found white flakes in the pot. I poured out the water, thinking perhaps I should've checked the water first. I looked at the cold water this time - everything fine. Ran it through the machine again and got the same result - white flakes in the hot water. So I called down to the front desk and asked if I could have a replacement machine. They said they had no new machines, but would get me one from another room. A man came up with the coffee maker and just handed it to me and left. It took quite a bit of effort to unplug the old one (outlet behind the mini fridge, and threaded up through a hole in the shelving unit above the counter area). Hooked up the new one, ran it and got the same flakey water. Okay, I gave up for the night.
Climbed into bed. My husband noticed a spider on the ceiling. We both turned our eyes up to the ceiling and noticed that there in fact, many spiders on the ceiling and there were bug carcasses in spider webs in the crevices between the wall and ceiling near the balcony. We killed several spiders and then gave up and retreated to the living room. More spiders on that ceiling. So, another call to front desk. Despite feeling embarrassed about a second call in so short a time, I just couldn't stay in that room. The front desk staff quickly found us another room without a balcony (to have fewer opportunities for bugs/spiders to get in) and we went to sleep. They even arranged for us to have our morning coffee brought down to us by the restaurant, which was good because when I tried to make tea in the new room, that coffee maker also deposited white flakes in the water.
Despite some of the staff's good intentions, we really needed a new venue for the remainder of our stay. We moved to the Radisson and had an excellent 2 nights there.
When I got back home, I sent a complaint to the Four Points, saying they really needed to put more effort into cleaning the spiders and spiderwebs and this # of spiders and webs and dead bug carcasses couldn't possibly have accumulated in e.g. 1-2 days since the previous cleaning, but that I commended the front desk staff's efforts in helping us. They replied by sending me a gift certificate for 1 night's stay in a room at the hotel, valid only for a few months and only between Mondays-Thursdays, and subject to availability. Not that I expected anything from them, but this rather flippant "gift" with its multiple conditions gives me the impression that they're really not taking my comments about the bugs seriously. I have to say that despite my first good stay, I would not recommend this hotel anymore.
Nice Clean Hotel, excellent location, bit pricey for what you get
Stayed one night in August 2004. The Four Points is well located for tourists - very close to the harbourfront near all the major sites. The hotel seems very new and the reception service was very good. There seemed to be no bellboy presence - not that it mattered to me. The room was very clean and functional - nothing fancy (though free high speed internet), all the basics were there - except minibar (available in some rooms) and pay movies (not a big deal). The king-size bed was very comfortable and there was a view of the lake. Some of the rooms had balconies - mine did not. Bathroom was very clean and simple. Bath towels are a bit small. I did not eat in the hotel but did call room service for a corkscrew and some wine glasses - promptly delivered. Overall, a very pleasant stay. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Three drawbacks - 1) when contacting the hotel directly, they could not apply the corporate rate (I called Starwood reservations and managed to get the rate). 2) Price was a bit high for basically a competent hotel - Kingston's hotels seem to be quite pricey for what you get - I would not have felt that this was a good value if I'd paid the full rate. 3) Room Noise - We had a connecting door to another room and the noise was quite loud. Admittedly, it seemed to be an older couple who were in the room who liked to argue, had guests over to the room and would fiddle with their barfridge for about 10 minutes at a time. Make sure you request that there is no connecting door!
Nice Stay, overall.
Quiet with location
Decided to change from the Holiday Inn because during the winter months the noise of kids running the halls at night who were staying for hockey tournaments became unbearable. The Sheridan was peaceful and very quiet. Other pluses were its excellent location to restaurants and the farmers market, during the warmer months. The pool,sauna, and whirlpool were very clean and seemed unused. The excercise room had one problem- too hot. We stayed on the ninth floor and never had to wait for an elevator, going up or down. The breakfast and Friday night buffets were both excellent. The hotel is an excellent deal from January through March and then becomes more expensive. You can open a window in your room.
Nice, But....
The property was nice but not for that price. There was no continental breakfast, an elevator from the parking garage to the lobby, then a separate elevator to your floor. The pool was nice and clean, The room was nice with a good balcony view. Search for deals and it would be a good buy.

The nation's governors and education commissioners, through their representative organizations the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) led the development of the Common Core State Standards and continue to lead the initiative. Teachers, parents, school administrators and experts from across the country, together with state leaders, provided input into the development of the standards.
No, standards are different from curriculum; standards represent the goal for what students should learn and curriculum is a road map for how to meet those goals or standards. Districts, schools, and teachers determine the curriculum, through textbooks and plans and materials created by teachers and districts. Curriculum and instruction will continue to be local decisions, as those closest to students are best positioned to know how to support their learning.
The costs of preparing students to meet the standards are similar to the costs currently allocated for the education of children. The Tennessee Department of Education and local schools and districts have always paid for assessment, professional development of teachers, and materials and resources. These costs will continue, but the transition to the standards should involve similar costs as administration of the current Tennessee Diploma Project standards.
Federal law protects the privacy of student information and educational records through the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Personally identifiable information cannot be legally sold or even released to anyone without parental consent, and Tennessee will not release personally identifiable student information that would be in conflict with federal law. The state of Tennessee has collected student information through the TCAP assessment in accordance with state and federal law, and will continue these practices under new assessments.
The Tennessee Department of Education and Tennessee school districts are deeply committed to open communication with schools, teachers, and parents throughout the implementation of Tennessee's state ELA and math standards.
