The final room was nice, cozy and the bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom as very nice.
First room was non-smoking and obviously had a smoker in it. Second room had a shower head that wouldn't stay put because the plastic had rubbed off where it was held, so had to turn the whole holder to have it shower straight down. Second room's AC wasn't working as it said the room was unoccupied till sometime in the middle of the night. We also didn't get our wakeup call because the staff forgot to change the room number when we got our new room. Luckily we set our own alarm. When told about the issues the staff suggested we needed to call and they'd fix it and otherwise didn't care much.
The beds are small
right across from train station
perfecly silent in the room; no noise from the train station (really impressed by that)
the bed was very comfortable
the lobby felt up-scale
there was a tiny bit of mold/mildew in the grout in the shower (not a big deal)
the outlets and switches were not in convenient locations (not a big deal)
The room was a nice size, with a door opening onto a green area. Nice bathroom. Free wifi. Was told it was an upgrade from my original booking. That makes me worried about what the intended room was like, since this is what I had expected.
Breakfast not included because I booked the room through kayak. Staff was not very friendly or helpful (because I was a "second class" guest?).
The staff were impeccable, I was treated extremely well. The selection of eatery's on the premises was fantastic - I didn't need to leave the hotel at all!
Only the view, really, although the window was a bit pocky. The lady at the front desk was very helpful.
The gym/swimming pool area was very disorganized. The attendant was on the phone and was not giving us the right information so we had to keep coming in and out of the changing rooms because he forgot to give us the right keycard, then the towels ...
The location eight next to the train station
When we arrived after an overnight flight, feeling very tired, the hotel computer was down and we had to wait for a coup[e of hours in the lobby for it to be fixed.
The hotel should have made some sort of small gesture to compensate us for this.
Also the breakfast included thawed frozen fruit which had turned rancid one day. The next hotel in Bergen had FRESH fruit. like melon, cantaloupe and kiwi. was was cut up and delicious.
Staff was awesome.
The towel I used in the AM looked like someone had previosly used it for toilet paper. Grossed me out. Not something you'd expect at a higher $ hotel.
It had Sauna and Gym.
Price didn't include breakfast.
Nice rooms. Clean and fresh. We stayed in a familyroom
It was not possible to get any meal for the kids. The gourmetrestaurant offered just half size of their courses. We went out in the street and found a pastarestaurant
good location with walking access to center and Vesterbro,
nice view over Copenhagen
bathroom cramped, wifi spotty
hotel staff kind, quick, precise
bathroom, small, old, unpleasant
Not really
Location is close to the central station
The room was very spacious, with windows you could open, 2 big comfortable chairs, lots of head room, a desk, hot water to make instant coffee, a safe, TV and internet, and it was very quiet. Right next to the water, in the unusual setting of a fort, with lots of easy parking. Clean bathroom, all tiled, with a shower that was easy to use. No shower curtain, but it wasn't needed. The owner and others who were there to help us out, were very nice and friendly. Decent value for the money, in something that was a little different and only 15 minutes to Copenhagen, Dragor itself is an interesting community.
We arrived after 17:00, so needed to call to have someone come and show us to our room. Not a big issue, just something to note when you arrive at night, after a long day of driving. Someone was there within 5 minutes. At first it seemed so dark and not welcoming, but we soon settled in, and came to quite like it.
The owner was a nice chap.
The hotel was totally empty and we were the only guests, we checked in and checked out within 15 mins, The hotel is probably haunted (for Real).
Located in the "cheap hotel district" this is exactly what we were hoping for from our stay! Terrific location (next door to the main train station), clean hotel, nice staff with easy check-in/check-out process, and a breakfast buffet that gives you a little taste of what the food will be like! Enjoyed our stay!
Rooms are small which we knew. Also, buffet does get crowded as others have mentioned but would recommend for a fine spread of bread, meat, eggs, and some fruit! Would also recommend bringing your own soap/shampoo.
Great location. Close to central station. Great service from the front desk. Good breakfast.
Some rooms require to take few steps of stairs with no ramp. Not good with big luggage (or elderly).
Great location. Easy reach of town center, sights and transport.
Good facilities. Room was comfortable, warm and well appointed.
Reception staff and room staff were all fantastic.
Close to a small supermarket and across from a great little Italian restaurant - Tio Mario, as well as the adjoining hotel restaurant Ottos which did a good breakfast.
Both very minor niggles....Toiletries provided were slightly haphazard - shampoo and conditioner only one day, shower gel and shampoo the next!
Jacuzzi could have been a bit warmer .....
The studio apartment room had lovely interiors. We rented bikes from the hotel which was really great. However the lack of free internet in the rooms was definitely a downfall. The free internet in the lobby was a little spotty. The location was a little far removed, but at least it was close to a train station.
The breakfast menu needs improvement.
I liked the high standard of the design, which was not luxurious but of a very good taste. My bedroom was clean and had very good proportions, not too small for one person. The breakfast was excellent. And I loved the view from the room with the balcon at 6th floor.
Quiet but very central. Friendly reception staff.
No fridge in room. Beds aparting.
The window at bathroom could not be closed because of broken staff. the was no hot dish at breakfast except boiled eggs.

Skiing at Great Lake Taupo
- From: Escape
- May 27, 2012
THIS is a first for me.
During the past 20 years since I stepped into skis on the baby slope at Mt Hotham I have skied in six countries on both sides of the Equator, taken lessons when the instructor and I didn't share a common language, and even split a gondola ride up the side of Aspen Mountain with Kevin Costner.
But this is the first time I have skied down the side of an active volcano, and the fact is adding to the exhilaration that comes with being back on the white stuff in New Zealand.
I'm getting to know the Whakapapa ski area, on the northwestern side of Mt Ruapehu deep in the heart of the North Island, and as I glide over a small section of the 550ha of skiable terrain here I'm keeping an eye out for a puff of smoke or vent of steam that might signal an eruption.
But it's unlikely anything will happen today, or on any other day during the colder months when thousands of people flock here not only to ski and snowboard but hike and mountain bike in the Tongariro National Park.
Mt Ruapehu is one of three active volcanoes perched on the North Island's Central Plateau the neighbouring summits of Tongariro and Ngauruhoe make up this short string of potentially explosive mountains and history shows us it blasts to life every 50 years or so with the last major event in the 1990s.
This peak is the North Island's tallest mountain, rising 2797m above the windswept landscape surrounding Lake Taupo, and home to New Zealand's largest ski area with Whakapapa on this side and Turoa on the southern slopes combining to offer the largest amount of "lift-accessed terrain" in the land across the Tasman.
Turoa, with 500ha of skiable territory and a highest lifted point of 2322m, is past the town of Ohakune while Whakapapa the first two letters are pronounced as a soft f, and yes, it will take a while before you're confident to say that out loud is above Whakapapa Village and the remote hamlet of National Park.
This is a friendly place, a destination that feels more like a club hill than a major winter destination, but I'm here in the middle of the week and I doubt there's more than a couple of hundred skiers and boarders on this side of the mountain so that might have something to do with the convivial vibe.
There are no trees where I am, just clusters of black boulders dividing the slope into wide runs, and the lines made by each chain of lift towers and cables look like wonky rows of stitching across a piece of white fabric.
There are 30 intermediate trails for me to explore Whakapapa has something for everyone with 25 per cent of the hill suited to beginners, 50 per cent for intermediates, and 25 per cent ready for experts but today I'm sticking to a gaggle of blue runs out past a bowl called the Amphitheatre where I can just see the sparkling water of Lake Taupo.
Beyond the southern boundary is Black Magic Backcountry, an enclave served by a lift that offers more terrain to the specialist than just the 24 black runs, and below is Happy Valley which is billed as New Zealand's "premiere beginners area" where rookies can build confidence in a private bowl away from the mob.
There is some accommodation on the mountain, but only club lodges, so I'm staying at the historic Bayview Chateau Tongariro just below the snowline in Whakapapa Village a short drive from the ski area.
The stately hotel was built in 1929, commissioned by the government of the day in an effort to kick-start tourism, and while it's been extended and renovated over the decades the 106-room property has retained the elegant attitude of the era with grand public spaces and cosy guest suites.
"We have old photos around the place and when you look at them you see not a lot has changed here," manager Tony Abbott explains.
"The restaurant has always been in the same location, the billiard tables are original, the small chandeliers and sconces around the place are 80 years old the decor has changed but the tone has stayed the same.
"The Chateau was built as a guesthouse back in the 1920s, and there were shared facilities in those days, so one of the major renovations happened in the 1970s when the property was reduced to 69 rooms so every suite could have a private bathroom.
"The transport from the hotel up to the hill is fantastic with buses going every 30 minutes during the ski season which usually starts in June and runs until the beginning of November."
The writer was a guest of Great Lake Taupo.
Mt Ruapehu and the Whakapapa ski area are inside the Tongariro National Park a year-round destination for those who love adventure activities 97km from Taupo, 177km from Rotorua, and 345km from both Auckland and Wellington.
Air New Zealand (airnewzealand.co.nz) flies from Auckland and Wellington to Taupo several times a day, and there are direct flights from Sydney to Rotorua.

By Staff Sgt. Scott TynesAugust 20, 2013
KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan - Army doctrine mandates that equipment is inventoried and properly maintained daily, weekly or monthly, in accordance with the preventative maintenance checks and services checklist in the equipment's technical manual.
Our Soldiers also need preventive maintenance, according to Chaplain (Capt.) Samuel Rico of Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 4th Infantry Division.
"Our Soldier is the most valuable resource we have," he said. "Why don't we spend the same amount of time and effort PMCSing people that we do for equipment?"
Rico, Lt. Col. Brad Wambeke and Command Sgt. Maj. Corey W. Gill, HHBN commander and command sergeant major, respectively, have taken a unique approach in the 4th Inf. Div. to raise awareness and reemphasize the core leadership value of knowing the Soldiers under a leader's command.
Although the concept of leaders getting to know their Soldiers is not new, Rico coined a name to help make the approach more memorable - Preventative Maintenance for the Comprehensive Soldier.
Rico said he hopes that by tying the leader-soldier relationship to an already-existing moniker known to all troops will help address a problem they see in today's Army.
"The hope with this program is that people realize that this is something I need to be doing on some kind of regular frequency to get to know my Soldiers so that I can identify when they are going through a challenge in life and I can potentially help them through that," Wambeke said.
He said sensing studies have indicated that only about 50 percent of leaders really know their Soldiers. Leaders, at a minimum, should know personal surface details such as the Soldier's marriage status, number of children, hobbies and interests.
"Every Soldier knows that he must check his equipment daily, weekly or monthly," Rico said. "Building relationships is no different. But, there is the human dimension we need to tap into. It's not like something we can just pour oil into.
"I think if Soldiers know that their leaders care, they're going to want to work hard for those leaders," he said. "Obviously, in the Army we can command respect through rank and you can order it ... Leaders who stand out are those who garner and earn the respect of their subordinates. Those Soldiers will work that much harder for them."
Gill said it's not always easy because people have different levels of tolerance for allowing others into their personal lives, but it's important to discover those limits.
"PMCS works perfect because it is inherent upon leadership to know their soldiers," he said. "And it's not going to be a cookie-cutter approach. Every soldier is going to be different. That leader is going to have to know each individual soldier to find out why things aren't working the way that they're supposed to be working."
This will require personal conversations on a regular basis, much like vehicles require regular upkeep to keep them operational at peak efficiency, Gill said.
Wambeke agreed.
"Unless we know our soldiers and what's going on in their lives, it's hard for us to find the opportunities to help them," he said. "Our commanding general talks about challenges - that everyone has rocks in their rucksack - and I can't take somebody's rock out unless I know what that rock is."

Fact of the matter is, there is no hip world, there is no straight world. There's a world, you see, which has people in it who believe in a variety of different things. Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, use that something to support their own existence.

BARTOW, Fla. (AP) - A Lakeland man has pleaded guilty to killing
two stepbrothers.
According to the State Attorney's Office in Bartow, John Odom pleaded guilty Tuesday to two counts of first degree murder and one count of armed robbery.
He was sentenced to life without parole.
As part of a plea agreement, Odom agreed to testify against co-defendant Susan Wallen.
Her murder trial is scheduled to begin next month.
Odom and Wallen were arrested in 2008 while hiding out in Tuskegee National Forest in Alabama.
Prosecutors said the couple worked together to rob the stepbrothers.
The couple is accused of killing 30-year-old Henry Bruder and 42-year-old Dion White.

I have been liking eShop but one issue that I have encountered so far is the 'From Email' from auto generated emails (upon purchase). Please correct me if I'm wrong, is this where I am supposed to place the 'From Email' address that would show in my customers' emails? (Please refer to image)
If this is where it's supposed to, I've placed an email address there but when we tested an order, the 'From Email Address' showed @box303.host something.
How can this be corrected?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!

When I make changes in my WordPress control panel and preview my site, it doesn't always reflect the changes I made, until I log out of my control panel. I'm talking about any kind of changes; pages, posts, texts, images. Whether I save the page as draft or publish, or clear the cache on my browser doesn't seem to make any difference, it seems to happen rather randomly.
This wasn't always the case but it started happening a little while ago. I wonder if this has anything to do with WP Super Cache I installed. Any ideas?

The Charlotte Moss collection of fabrics and trims for Fabricut includes over 100 new items, including prints, wovens, and trimmings. "Charlotte Moss is highly regarded in the industry as a powerful marketer and informed designer," says David Finer, CEO of Fabricut. Charlotte's inspiration for the collection is drawn from antiques and vintage documents from her personal collection. Other inspirations include architectural themes and, of course, her garden. Collaborating with the designers at Fabricut, direction and inspiration for the collection was found within her immense anthology of textile documents, items acquired during her travels and images she's captured behind her camera. Adding to her vision and attention to detail for this collection, each pattern name has its own story. Fabrics are named in honor of her muses – women travelers and explorers who pushed boundaries in many ways. Charlotte explains, "you knew what these women stood for, they had a mission, and as a result, left us legacies that inspire. They are like guiding lights."
Charlotte's second collection of fabrics and trims debuting in the 2015 features luscious wovens, fresh prints and stunning trimmings in three color stories - Canvas, Deep Coral and Watercolor.
"Bits of inspiration find you along your path or you find them. However the story goes, there was an attraction, an emotional reaction that caused the two of you to go home together. A tile, a turtle shell, a vintage scarf; a few of the things that inspired this collection..." -Charlotte Moss
Based on the three tiered balustraded vase in Nancy Lancaster's writing room at Ditchley Park. A limited number are now available for purchase.
16″w x 10″d x 18″h. Includes the vase, glass tubes and two spare tubes.
Since opening her business in 1985, Charlotte has designed private residences and executive suites all over the United States and the Caribbean. In addition to designing interiors, Charlotte Moss' career has included retail stores, celebrated for Charlotte's unique blend of American, European and Classical influences.
Having launched her career on Wall Street, Charlotte has a keen sense for the shifting sands of change, amid all her decorating prowess. Widening her reach in recent years, Charlotte Moss, LLC now brings her signature Flair for Living to consumers worldwide with collections available under license. She has designed fabric and trim for Fabricut, carpeting, sisals and soon-to-be scenic mural wallpapers for Stark Carpet, and china for Pickard. Most recently, Charlotte has used her experience culled from twenty-five years of decorating couture homes to design a collection of furniture and upholstery with Century Furniture. Charlotte's collection of framed decorative art for Soicher-Marin, which launched at the High Point Market, is based in-part on her own photography.
Charlotte is a sought-after speaker, lecturing widely on all the arts of living. Recent lecture titles include:
She has written nine books to date. Her most recent title, Garden Inspirations was published by Rizzoli in April of 2015. In addition to writing books, she frequently contributes to The Wall Street Journal.
Charlotte's work has been published in shelter magazines worldwide and she has received numerous awards, including The Timeless Design Award, given by the Royal Oak Foundation, Elle Décor's VISION AWARD and Traditional Home magazine's list of the worlds' Top 20 interior designers. Last May, Charlotte was honored with the Circle of Excellence Award from the International Furnishings & Design Association (IFDA) for the field of interior design.
Charlotte considers her most important work to be her community service and philanthropy. She serves on the Boards of The Thomas Jefferson Foundation at Monticello, The Bone Marrow Foundation, The Elsie de Wolfe Foundation and the Advisory Board of The New York School of Interior Design, where she received an Honorary Doctorate Degree. Charlotte sits on the Acquisitions Committee at The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

The November 2013 House Beautiful Issue
In the fall of 2013, Charlotte guest edited the House Beautiful November issue. In working with Newell Turner and House Beautiful Executive Editor Shax Riegler, she developed content ranging from product coverage to design features. The theme of the November entertaining issue was "The Arts of Living," which included special sections on home fragrance, books, music, wine and more.
"Everyone loves the special, curated and one-of-a-kind feeling of a pop-up boutique and this series will have a similar effect—it is a fun, new way to collaborate with great talent, each with a unique personality and point of view, to give our readers something special and unexpected," Riegler said.
Editor in Chief, Newell Turner noted that, "these issues will truly be collector's editions, with the great American design that is House Beautiful's hallmark and the distinctive imprint of the guest editor. We have some extraordinary projects in the works and we can't wait to share them."
"When Newell and Shax proposed this idea, I immediately and instinctively seized the theme of volupté—sensuality—for the home," Moss said. "As designers, we go far beyond how rooms look and feel: we create atmosphere and that means creating beauty that affects all of our senses. I'm focusing on the arts of living, being surrounded by beauty, enveloped in fragrance, listening to good music, reading good books, enjoying good food and wine with friends. Basically, what we DO at home, how we LIVE."
Additional "pop-up" guest editors will be announced in the coming months.
The 2013 Bone Marrow Foundation Be a Lifeline Gala
The 2013 gala was hosted by Sam Champion and Josh Elliott of ABC's Good Morning America. They honored three very special individuals who have made a tremendous difference in the lives of children and adults with cancer, Seun Adebiyi, Dr. Sergio Giralt and Charlotte. In addition to helping so many others going through the transplant process, Charlotte has been incredible in building and broadening the Foundation's community and will be receiving the Brandon Tartikoff Award. The monies raised directly support the Foundation's patient programs. The Bone Marrow Foundation is dedicated to improving the quality of life for bone marrow, stem cell and cord blood transplant patients and their families by providing vital financial assistance, educational information, and emotional support programs.

This is too weird. This morning I logged into my blog just fine. Made a post, did my thing, and logged out.
The entire blog is there and every place can be navigated to...
My problem is the system still thinks I'm logged in - and when I "logout" (for the millionth time) it still thinks I'm logged in.
I can get to the blog.com/wp-login.php page fine but it's acting oddly. Has for some reason the username already filled in, flashes what would be the password, and then that disappears.
I retype the password and get to blog.com/wp-admin/ but it's just a blank page.
At one point I was able to request to reset the password, but that didn't work either. Again the wp-admin/ white screen of death.
I'd really like to avoid reinstalling (just changed hosting), and besides it was working like a charm this morning...????

j/j hastain is a poet, priestess, and pundit of the subconscious, surreal and sensationally sensate. Also a bit of a poltergeist of gender transmission and translocation, j/j is pleth *. I call pleth "j forward slash j" since pleth's name is less nomenclature than address. A pointer toward a place, yet one that is virtual and not entirely dependent upon actual and specific earthly addresses although always informed by the senses. Continue reading

the skies are streaked by little hands
there are ornaments displayed
and then, destroyed
a punctuation mark
slips the skin of a
slender girl
who enjoys
in each instance of joy
the tomb was broken down into
sybilant vowels
bowls and howls
a band of emerging children
fire on the heads and at

Flowers and donate if you can
Another April flower! If you enjoy these poems, do donate please at the donate button. I'm in the midst of a lengthy and difficult transition and re-entry back into the Bay Area from Denver, and — I could use it and I do appreciate each and every dollar! In order to continue receiving these visions, from the Poetry Monster above and below, I apparently need a job, though I have stated again and again, that the visions feel like job enough! Even so… I am searching. So — don't forget your local poet people, who is local to the globe, this earth and planet now. And, thank you!!!
I also want to thank everyone who has donated this month! I have never actively asked before, so it wasn't easy to do so, but everyone who did send a bit of money, I really thank you from the bottom of my heart! You are all super!

Winding down here on NaPoWriMo, I've been doing many poetry related things, which I will report on in time. Here, my ongoing poem – Flowers, one poem for every shot of T I have taken so far. That means I have over 570 flowers to write!

so we must stop dreaming with our eyes open and cast our lot with

CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) - An FBI informant says five men accused of
plotting to kill soldiers at Fort Dix, New Jersey, shopped for guns
and practiced firing them during a trip to Pennsylvania they
intended as training for a holy war.
Besnik Bakalli testified that he had hoped the week in February 2007 would be merely a relaxing vacation. Instead, he said it turned out to be "training for jihad."
He said the men talked constantly about Islam, war between the
Muslim world and America and their respect for Osama bin Laden.
They also shopped for guns, went to firing ranges and played
No attack at the Army base in New Jersey ever took place.
Defense lawyers deny the defendants were seriously planning anything.

In the spring, we offer multiple sections of LTRE 190, as well as a few trailer sections of LTRE 100. We also offer several sections of LTRE 190 for the general NIU population each spring semester. Our courses are designed to improve reading and learning skills, thus helping students to have a more successful and meaningful experience here at NIU.
The College Learning Enhancement Program also provides individual tutoring and workshops on test preparation for College of Education students preparing to take the BST and APT exams.

can come out before the earnings and revise up the number and move the stock up 40%. But they don't have to come out before the earnings to say they are lowering the F13 earnings?
they didn't LOWER guidance - they SET guidance...big difference !! ie. they SET guidance, so they can beat it...analysts know this, that is why they have higher numbers themselves.
So now that they have set guidance, do you think the company will announce before next earnings if they can meet it? I highly doubt it. But we will find out soon.

Dolphins preseason capsule
OPEN CAMP: July 21
LAST YEAR: Dolphins had new coach (again) and new quarterback (again), and may have finally found some stability with both jobs. Joe Philbin won favorable reviews from players in first year as NFL coach, and rookie QB Ryan Tannehill played well and showed progress. Lack of playmakers was biggest problem. No WR scored more than one touchdown for offense that ranked 27th, and defense tied for fourth worst in takeaways. Miami endured fourth consecutive losing season, franchise's worst such stretch since pre-Don Shula 1960s.
IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: WR Mike Wallace, rookie DE Dion Jordan, CB Brent Grimes, LB Dannell Ellerbe, LB Philip Wheeler, TE Dustin Keller, WR Brandon Gibson, T Tyson Clabo, rookie CB Jamar Taylor, rookie CB Will Davis, G Lance Louis, DT Vaughn Martin, rookie PK Caleb Sturgis.
IMPORTANT LOSSES: T Jake Long, RB Reggie Bush, LB Karlos Dansby, LB Kevin Burnett, CB Sean Smith, WR Davone Bess, TE Anthony Fasano.
CAMP NEEDS: Getting Tannehill comfortable with new supporting cast following changes at RB, WR, TE and both tackles. Wallace provides much-needed deep threat, and Dolphins believe second-year pro Lamar Miller has big-play ability to rival departed Bush. Second-year T Jonathan Martin moves to left side to replace Long, with Clabo taking over on right side. Quickly incorporating top draft pick Jordan into pass rush. Ellerbe and Wheeler are expected to provide more big plays than Dansby and Burnett. Rookies Taylor and Davis will battle for CB job left vacant with Smith's departure.
EXPECTATIONS: It's 13 years since Dolphins won playoff game, 21 years since reaching AFC championship game, 29 years since making Super Bowl, and 40 years since most recent NFL title. Attendance has declined, and Miami Heat now rival Dolphins in popularity in South Florida. But Dolphins' offseason was widely judged a success, and they believe they're ready to win -- perhaps even in postseason.

text: I posted my site here for reviews after a major redesign about a month ago, and I've just added some new features that I think make a big difference. I created 7 new header images and added the Random Image Selector plugin to rotate them. I also added more custom sidebar features that appear to work pretty well with a variety of browsers. I'm sure they probably look like crap if someone sets their browser to display larger type sizes. I've still got a handful of validation issues that I'm trying to track down, but that will be a job for tomorrow. Believe it or not, the whole thing is based on this theme.

Site Score Comparison
I just signed up here at MyFICO and saw that my EQ score was 651. Was actually surprised because I went through a few years of bad decisions and bad luck. Not whining...just the way it is. Anyway then went to a different site and ordered my 3 scores. When they came back I saw that my EQ score was 589. That's a big difference between the two. Going to order my TU score from MyFICO and compare those now.
Can anyone tell me why such a spread between the to sites even though they are both suppose to be from EQ?
Thanks.....this forum is the most informative place I have been regarding credit.

A wide variety of uncertainty propagation methods exist in literature; however, there is a lack of good understanding of their relative merits. In this paper, a comparative study on the performances of several representative uncertainty propagation methods, including a few newly developed methods that have received growing attention, is performed. The full factorial numerical integration, the univariate dimension reduction method, and the polynomial chaos expansion method are implemented and applied to several test problems. They are tested under different settings of the performance nonlinearity, distribution types of input random variables, and the magnitude of input uncertainty. The performances of those methods are compared in moment estimation, tail probability calculation, and the probability density function construction, corresponding to a wide variety of scenarios of design under uncertainty, such as robust design, and reliability-based design optimization. The insights gained are expected to direct designers for choosing the most applicable uncertainty propagation technique in design under uncertainty.

Karen you can also post this on the main forum but be careful ,you will want to watch and see how long some of the folks have been here and make sure they do commit to the exchange. Barbara
Thank you Barbara for the information. If you know someone that will not please give me some insight.
Karen Hollis
Texas Girl
Karen I think I would like to try this one. I watched the video and it seems pretty easy. If we have until the end of July then I should have time to make them. I will try the two sets. Can you still find Christmas material now? I have some in my stash but don't think there is enough to do 2 pillow cases.
Karen did you get my PM about joining the 1 Christmas set swap?
Piece, Love, Quilt
So...I made a set of these last night. I was supposed to finish up a table runner for the Scout auction tomorrow night, but with my migraine, I couldn't see well enough to finish up the binding. So, I grabbed some fabric and decided to give these a shot. I have to say, they were REALLY easy and stitched up very quickly.
The only thing, though, is that I made them too long. They will now fit a king-size pillow. The instructions really ddin't say how much fabric you need for the big part of the case. But they are very nice when they are finished.
I decided to make my accent strip small--I cut it at 2" so that it was more like a thick piping. I'm glad I did. I'm not sure I would have liked it wider for the fabrics I chose.
I am in for the 2 sets, right, Karen?
Chicagoland, Illinois
Susie:The only thing, though, is that I made them too long. They will now fit a king-size pillow. The instructions really ddin't say how much fabric you need for the big part of the case
Susie. In the video she gives these dimensions. I had to watch it twice as I missed it the first time.
Sleeve - WOF x 9"
Body - WOF x 27"
Piping - WOf x 2-1/2" I agree with you, I like a narrower piping. I've cut mine anywhere from 2: to 1-3/4"..
I'm not going to take part in this exchange but will enjoy seeing what everyone else does. I hope folks post pictures of the pillow cases.
In the beautiful Pacific Northwest!
Another bit of information for y'all about sizes. When I make these, I use the 9" band and the 27" body with piping as Judy does a 1.75"-2" strip or a jelly roll if I have a coordinating fabric. I buy one yard of two fabrics for Mother so she can have a bit of color on both pillows, ie 9"= 27"+ = one yard. by the time you do the French seam your case should fit a standard pillow even a very fluffy one. For Kings I use 34" for the base they fit our pillows well. If you have large pillows measure the length of the pillow around, divide it in half, add 2" for the base, and fill space. This is for self-use; in the exchange, we are using the above measurements. For customizing or gifts if you know the party uses Kings then you can use the larger base, the band stays consistent. I have made dozens of these using this method they always turn out beautiful and we love having extra cases. I have 5 pillows I use on my bed as one is for knees and two stacked for my hands (arthritis and fibromyalgia pains are devastating when you are trying to sleep). Using this formula you can even make some body pillow cases and save a few bucks.. lol Gift your grand with a nice flannel set for cold nights, once you start making these cases you can get addicted and what a stash burner. This is a new queen pillow extra fluff for (DH) back sleepers it needs a 29-31" base.
Yes, I did get it Erin. I am sorry I should have let you known. I am so glad you are in. This is going to be so much fun.
Yes, you are in for two. The demo actually does tell you what size each piece is to be. It is at the very front of the video. The body piece is 3/4 yd. I know they are pretty. I am glad you liked doing them. They make awesome gifts for teachers, secret pals, weddings, you can name all kinds of goodies. Life is good!
Thank you Judy for the post above. Yes, it is very easy to miss. Thank you for posting it. I posted below in yds if that helps also.
So, here is the measurements for the pillowcase in case anyone else misses it. It is :
1/4 yd for the Sleeve
3/4 yd for the body of the pillow
1/8 yd for the accent piece.
NOW, the accent piece is up to all of you. Make it like you want, but the body of the pillow needs to be 3/4 yd. I hope this helps, because like I said, I missed that part of the information the first time I watched it. Let me know if you have any questions.
Hi Karen, I sent you a PM with my address info.
I received it Joyce. Thank you for joining us. This is going to be a really fun swap. I am glad you are joining us. When you watch the video make sure you hear the instructions on how much material you will need for one pillow case.

Just a thought; Maybe you should post the fabric requirement in the rules/instruction post. Seems a lot of first time case makers are joining and If so many people are missing that part of the video there may be some odd sized pillowcases!
Yes, Erin, but it is a good thought. I will go and edit the original post. I just hate anyone to mess up and have to re-do anything. Thank you for the suggestion. Just didn't think about it.
Wheere is this video? I have searched all the notes and don't find the video.

Soon after the research was published, the Powers That Be in the dairy industry realized chocolate milk, the beverage most commonly associated with childhood school lunches, naturally conformed to this ratio and hence started to promote it as a recovery beverage. As an added bonus, chocolate milk is widely available, inexpensive, and just the right amount of indulgent. Plus, additional research has solidified chocolate milk as an optimal recovery beverage.
But the marketing of chocolate milk left some runners wondering: Is this all there is? The other day, Meghan wrote in to say, "I am a huge fan of java. I often treat myself to a fancy coffee drink after a long run. If it contains milk and sugar (like a latte) could this replace the all-coveted recovery miracle cure—chocolate milk?"
She's not the only one wondering whether eating or drinking something else can provide the same recovery benefits. In short, yes. There are plenty of food and drink options available for runners looking to adapt to their training and effectively prevent muscle breakdown while stimulating muscle protein synthesis.
As we discussed in previous Fuel School sessions, when planning recovery meals and snacks, you want to meet one of the two following criteria: 0.5 grams of carbs per pound of body weight plus a sampling of protein OR simply a snack or meal providing 15 to 25 grams of protein, regardless of the amount of carbs.
You may be wondering, "What happened to the 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein that was once so widely touted?" Well, as research continues, it looks like if enough protein is consumed, the ratio is not as critical and can be relaxed slightly. For optimal recovery, aim for a ratio somewhere between 2:1 and 4:1 if you're into counting grams of carbs and protein.
If you're not into calculating ratios and doing math, consider recovering from your next hard workout with one of these easy-to-digest, easy-to-make (or purchase when you're on the go) items listed below.

We here at MCS love a good competition. We also like to stretch our minds and challenge ourselves to be creative. So, when we heard about the awesome Remake Project on BOOOOOOOM!, it didn't take us long to decide we needed to hold our own version of the contest.
The mission was simple: Take any classic painting, sculpture, or other piece of artwork, recreate the scene, and capture it in a photograph. Oh, and we weren't allowed to alter the photo after
it was taken. Everything had to be arranged before the photo was taken.
Each person could submit one official entry for the competition, but we encouraged multiple submissions. After a generous submission period and two deadline extensions, we pulled together 12 great submissions.
The stakes were high. The vote was winner-take-all. And somehow, James managed to cheat the system and walk away with the win, some fun swag, and a ton of bragging rights (that's him, wearing the OSU Snuggie).
Overall, it was a fun little competition for the team and gave us all a chance to get the creative juices flowing. If you want to see what sparked the whole contest, head over to the BOOOOOOOM! Remake page.

Toyota Settles Infringement Case Over Hybrid Patent
Toyota Motor Corp., the world's biggest automaker, settled a patent-infringement dispute that had threatened U.S. imports of its newest hybrid vehicles, including the Prius.
The agreement with Paice LLC, ending six years of litigation, was announced today as a hearing was to begin on a claim against Toyota before the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington. Terms weren't disclosed and lawsuits pending in Texas and at a U.S. appeals court will be dismissed.
Paice founder Alex Severinsky, a Soviet emigrant who began his career developing antitank-warfare instrumentation, had said his 1994 patented system for a high-voltage method to power gas- electric hybrid cars was used by Toyota without permission. Severinsky, 65, has sought royalties from the automaker.
"Finally people understand the merits of what I invented and give it the proper value," Severinsky said today in an interview. "Toyota is the leading technology company and finally appreciates the value of the invention."
Ford Motor Co., maker of the Fusion hybrid car, agreed to license Paice's technology, the companies said on July 16 without revealing terms.
The Paice patent covers a way to supply torque to a car's wheels from both an electric motor and internal combustion engine using a combination of high voltage and low current.
Toyota, which was found to have infringed the patent in an earlier case, had said its hybrid vehicles are the result of its own research and asked the trade commission to deny Severinsky's latest claims.
Paice Patent 'Equivalent'
"The parties agree that, although certain Toyota vehicles have been found to be equivalent to a Paice patent, Toyota invented, designed and developed the Prius and Toyota's hybrid technology independent of any inventions of Dr. Severinsky and Paice as part of Toyota's long history of innovation," both companies said in separate statements.
Toyota's American depositary receipts, each representing two ordinary shares, rose 47 cents to $71.22 at 4:02 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading.
The ITC is an independent agency set up to protect U.S. markets from unfair trade practices. When a violation is found, it has the power to block imports of products and typically sides with patent owners unless there are health or public-policy issues.
The issue in the trial that was to begin today hinged on what is more important: Severinsky's right to protect the millions of dollars invested in his invention or the potential economic harm of banning Toyota's hybrid-vehicle imports.
Public Interest
ITC Judge Theodore R. Essex had said Toyota couldn't try to reargue the validity of the patent or whether it's infringed, leaving open the question of whether Paice has a domestic market to protect, and if it was in the public interest to issue a ban.
Citing potential job losses, lawmakers wrote the ITC to side with Toyota. Among them were Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who has a Toyota plant in his state that makes hybrid vehicles, and Democratic Representative Travis Childers of Mississippi, where Toyota is building a factory.
Toyota is the biggest seller of hybrid vehicles in the U.S. In June, the company sold 14,639 hybrids in the U.S., including 1,933 Lexus hybrids, about 10 percent of its total sales. The ITC's case related to the company's current, third-generation Prius as well as the Camry hybrid, Lexus HS250h and Lexus RX450h.
2005 Trial
Toyota was found in a 2005 trial to have infringed Severinsky's patent on torque technology used in earlier versions of the Prius, Lexus RX400h and hybrid Toyota Highlanders. A federal jury awarded $4.27 million to the company Severinsky founded, Bonita Springs, Florida-based Paice.
The judge declined to halt sales of the hybrids, and instead told the automaker to pay Paice $25 for every car. He later raised the amount to about $98 after an appeals court ordered a recalculation. Toyota appealed that decision.
If the $98 rate were applied to all of Toyota's hybrids now on sale in the U.S., the company would have to pay $1.43 million in royalties for June alone. The company reported fourth-quarter net income of 112 billion yen ($1.27 billion) on May 11.
Paice Chairman Frances M. Keenan, vice president of finance at Baltimore's Abell Foundation that has invested $20 million in Paice since 1998, declined to say if the company is talking to additional automakers about licensing the Paice patent.
The ITC case is In the Matter of Hybrid Electric Vehicles, 337-688, U.S. International Trade Commission (Washington). The civil cases are Paice LLC v. Toyota Motor Corp., 04-cv-211; 07cv180 and 08-cv-261, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas (Marshall).

Very powerful and moving remarks by President Obama, especially the story he told at the end about one friend saving another. I am so proud to have this brilliant President representing the United States of America.

Addressing the country afterwards is probably obligatory. I would just find it in bad taste to turn the event into a photo-op. Too much marketing went on in the wake of 9/11. This is too small of an event to mobilize the church groups but too large to be written off.
I guess there's a very curious question as to why a med student would go off his gourd that way. Just another one of those things that probably won't get an answer because there's ugly money and status in medicine and education nowadays. Don't bother claiming that "normal" people are the victims of stressed out nerds or something. The opposite is far closer to the truth.

I thought Obama was putting the campaigning on hold so as not to use this tragic event for a stage. He did not go there to see those family's, he went there to try to make an impression because Colorado is a swing state this year.

It's surprising Obama isn't high-tailing it over to where those Mexicans were killed in that overloaded pick up truck accident.
Great photo op for Obama's Latino voting base, proclaiming America's open arms to the tired and poor. And sadness that some lose their lives trying to get here.
<but not mentioning the tired and poor that are already IN America>

Sergio Perez has been reprimanded for impeding by the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix race stewards, but will not receive a penalty.
The Sauber driver was investigated for blocking Bruno Senna's Williams through Yas Marina's Turn 5/6 chicane in Q1.
The officials, who this weekend include Derek Warwick as driver representative, deemed that Perez's actions were worthy of a reprimand, but his 12th place on the grid is not affected.
Senna went on to qualify 15th.
Perez had previously received a grid penalty for blocking in German GP qualifying, but did not have any reprimands hanging over him before his Abu Dhabi incident.

Is there a way to get the slideshow to go in a random order or at least start with a different image on different visits. I'm using it to play a slideshow of sponsors and I'd like to find a way to highlight different sponsors, not start on the same one every time.
Thank you.
