Particularly liked the note about not disposing of needles down the toilet!
Basic but friendly
Clean room very friendly staff room was a bit tired but what do you expect for £45 a night, good access for transport into Cardiff, the one thing that would be nice is the option of a cooked breakfast instead of just cereal toast and yoghurt.
Would use this hotel again if going to Cardiff for another rugby match.

Crawford triumphed over a stomach bug she had earlier in the
week to set a women's course record of 9hrs 24mins 31 secs,
bettering her previous record by about four minutes, while
McNeice had a breakthrough victory in his first long distance
triathlon, after 10 years racing as a professional over the
Olympic distance, finishing in 8hrs 51mins 18secs.
Jamie Whyte of Auckland (8hrs 55mins 43secs) and Chris
McCormack of Australia (8hrs 58mins 05secs) were second and
third men respectively, McCormack clawing his way into
contention for the podium after a windy bike ride.
Candice Hammond of Cambridge (9hrs 44mins 22secs) ran down
Joanna Lawn of Auckland (9hrs 44mins 30secs) in the final 2km
to finish second in the women's race, Lawn collapsing with
exhaustion on the finish line in third.
Race director Victoria Murray-Orr was delighted with the
event, which attracted up to 1500 athletes competing in the
full iron-distance race and the Lake Wanaka Half (1.9km swim,
90km swim, 21.1km run).
"A course record broken, record crowds, a career-changing
victory for Dylan - what can I say? And it is always a
privilege to watch someone of the Macca's calibre race,'' Mrs
Murray-Orr said.

On the thread about giving the stepdaughter a bath, several posters have taken the OP to task for not referring to her as "Our daughter' and differentiating between their kids and his kid, etc.
On other threads about stepparents, I've read posts to the effect of not recognizing the step parent as an acutal parent - they don't want their kid left alone with the step parent - they sure as hell don't want that person seeing their kid naked, or having any authority over her, etc.
So, is there a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" attitude toward step parents? Do you catch grief if you don't view the child as your very own and then catch hell for "trying to take my place?"

My computer was working fine yesterday but I booted up this morning and everything was incredibly slow. I have done nothing special for the past few days so I assumed it could be a disk error.
I set it to do a CHKDSK on next reboot and rebooted.
It reports "File record segment 3680 is unreadable" and then blue screens and reboots itself. It goes back into CHKDSK and does the same thing again.
I have now booted into my Ubuntu partition which is working fine. What can I do?

Mr. Backwards strikes again!
I don't think it's yelling about the future, I think it's yelling about the 90's... which really isn't worth yelling about at all.
So I guess I'm saying I agree.
Is it me, or does it look a bit like a pair of electric clippers with a #2 guard on? I think a giant could neatly trim his sideburns with that building.
Charles, if you want to find the "good" in Tacoma, you have dive in, head first. I thought you were a man of the Proletariat? So ignore the buildings, and get with the PEOPLE. Go see Jerry Miller perform miracles on guitar at Coles Tavern (if it's recovered from the fire), Catch a game of pool with the one armed man at bob's Java Jive, or just saddle up to the bar at any of Tacoma's plethora of first-rate dives. If you by chance get to meet Melvin the Mailman, you are in for a treat.
I love Tacoma, but the leveling of Roselli's on 6th ave was a big big loss.
There are two things to laugh at here: One, the ridiculous design; two, the very idea that futuristic architecture can correct the backwardness of the area (clearly the architect's intention). And Tacoma is backwards. Nothing about it is in the future.
Architecture, what are you thinking? Futuristic glass and steel shapes sheltering men in clothes suited for saw-mills and bowling alleys? We cant help ourselves: we must hold our bellies and laugh the big, big laugh.
I could have sworn you gave rave feedback on the Douglas-truth library barly a year ago.
I could have sworn you gave rave feedback on the Douglas-truth library barly a year ago.
I'll say something good about Tacoma: they built out a city owned fiber optic network years ago, something Seattle is still in the "process" stage with.
Basic cable for $27, and 8Mbps internet for $60! Who's backward now, bitches?
Tacoma is not plagued by the turgid compositions of Mr. Mudede.
Tacoma may be trying too hard but it's better than not trying at all. I was there for a weekend a month or so ago and stayed at the hotel right above this very building. It does stand out as "New and Not Like We Used To Be! :)" Charles is right.
Tacoma is the rare city whose center really does need some form of gentrification -- obviously not the Tacoma Mall kind. And while many may have aesthetic differences with the results, no one's complaining about it happening.
Tacoma does have the best West Coast Mexican food north of Southern California, though. (Sorry SF, but your mission burritos are bland.)
Now to make the city actually open on Sunday.. you know, one small step to entice people to actually come down and visit. Lots of things are popping up, and it's still a ghost town out there. Maybe there'll be a huge Grand Re-Opening sign over the entire city one day?
Charles, you've clearly never been to the toilet there. That's the best part of the whole damn place.
That building looks (awfully) alot like the new Bob's Burger and Brew up here in Bellingham, only on a larger scale. I wonder if it's the same person?
Either way, I didn't see this building on that one episode of Cops in Pierce County, Washington -- you know, THAT one -- so this building obviously doesn't exist.
Hey isn't that down the block from university of Washington Tacoma Campus. theres a kick ass Bar with live music there Sweeney or something.
It looks like the museum or concert hall.
Oh and just what in the hell is up in those 1920s buildings anyways down here. College classrooms, or secret hidden office for the Stranger.
Tacoma come on you can do it!
Tacoma's downtown IS getting gentrified. And it's mostly a good thing (whatever you think of the convention center) as long as it retains some of its distinct, old Northwest vibe -- something Seattle has, for better or worse, lost. It's nice that somewhere still has it.
Yes, Tacoma is not a pristine city like Seattle is. Any moron that has the ability of sight can drive up or down I-5, take just about any exit to Tacoma or Seattle and notice huge a difference in quality of life, living conditions, ect.
The economy and average income in seattle and tacoma are very different. For example we have the military bases and you have nice places such as Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing and others. Tacoma is a blue-collar/army town. These types of things make cities different.
Not everyone has the income to live in a money sucking place like Seattle, there are always people who can not afford it.
Seattle is not the center of the world, Seattle is the jewel of the northwest, lucky for you Tacoma is a great point of reference so you can reinforce what a grand city Seattle is. But why keep bringing it up? it makes you look insecure. There are plenty of other "crappy" towns in this state but you always insult Tacoma just because Tacoma is in close proximity of Seattle and its the third largest city in Washington you always pick on Tacoma to prove that you are better? in doing so repetitively you make yourselves look like a city full of idiotic, condescending bastards.
Forget about Tacoma, Lets look at things with a broader perspective. On the world stage Seattle is a rather small and unimpressive city. Yes its true, whether you realize it or not.
Seattle is a place for people with higher incomes, Tacoma is not. Not every person in this world has a high income, most people do not. Dont you know anything about the world you live in?
Tacoma is a crappy town but someone has to live there. There are many shitty towns and people with lower income jobs in this country so just realize that, except it, suck on your lattes and shut the hell up!

This is Part 1 of the "Klinische Lehrkurse" of the Münchener medizinische Wochenschrift, which appeared in that journal in 1922. The object is to present to the general worker in a simple form the methods for his daily work and to discuss the diseases in which findings of special value may be obtained from such examination. Theoretical considerations are avoided as much as possible, attention being especially directed to the diagnosis that may be made by these simple examinations. In his discussion of the technic, the author states that the examination of the fresh specimen, the study of the stained slide, and the estimation of the hemoglobin are all that the busy practitioner needs, the cell counts being usually superfluous for his daily work. There are eleven chapters, one of which details the simple methods necessary, the others outlining the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of various blood diseases. The book

We stayed here over Memorial Day weekend. We booked through Hotels.com instead of the mackinaw hotels site because I didn't want to be moved to another hotel. For two nights, it was less than $200 total.
The water park is very big. It is a great add on for a family vacation. Especially if the weather is iffy and you may need some indoor activities. My children loved it. My concern, having been to many waterparks, and having been a lifeguard, was that there was only one lifeguard in the whole park. The lifeguard was stationed at the bottom of the slides to make sure that only two people went up at a time. I'm sure that this is fine when the park is not busy, or when everyone is supervising their own children. I will say, on Saturday evening, there were approximately 200 people in the waterpark and I was only comfortable when I was directly with my children, it would not have been safe to send them off to play. I don't think this would discourage me from booking again, but it was something that I hadn't thought of.
The WiFi never worked during the length of our stay. From my understanding, this was a problem in the past. The staff was very pleasant and said that they had called someone about it, but it never worked.
The staff did a nice job of putting out logs and starting a fire in the beach area both evenings. I thought this was a nice touch.
One thing that I would recommend is that body lotion be added to the bathrooms, if you have ever been to a waterpark, the chlorine/chemicals really dry out skin.
The rooms looked as if they had been recently refurbished, the beds were firm and comfortable.
Surprisingly, we were able to sleep until 9 both mornings, which is pretty amazing as we were on the first floor of a waterpark hotel.
The "Breakfast Buffet" has eggs, sausage, and gravy and make your own waffles in addition to the breads and cereals. I would have liked to see bananas and yogurt, but free is free.
Overall, the kids really enjoyed the hotel. It was a good rate and clean. Just watch your children in the waterpark.

Biodiesel from engineered sugarcane more economical than from soybean
March 18, 2016
A techno-economic analysis by a team from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University has determined that biodiesel produced from oil from genetically modified lipid-producing sugarcane (lipid-cane) is much more economical than biodiesel produced from soybean oil.
In their open-access paper, published in the journal Biofuels, Bioproducts & Biorefining, the researchers reported results showing that the biodiesel production cost from lipid-cane decreased from $0.89/L to $0.59 /L as the lipid content in the cane increased from 2 to 20%; this cost was lower than that obtained for soybeans ($1.08/L).
EPA nudges up volume of renewable fuel in final requirements for 2014-2016 under RFS
November 30, 2015
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the final volume requirements under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program today for the years 2014, 2015 and 2016, and final volume requirements for biomass-based diesel for 2014 to 2017.
This rule finalizes higher volumes of renewable fuel than the levels EPA proposed in June (earlier post), but still represents a reduction compared to the original statutory requirements.
EPA: jatropha-based biofuels could qualify as biomass-based diesel or advanced biodiesel under RFS
October 19, 2015
Based on its analysis of the production and transport components of the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of biofuel made from jatropha oil, the US EPA anticipates that biofuels produced from jatropha oil could qualify as biomass-based diesel or advanced biofuel under the Renewable Fuel Standard program if typical fuel production process technologies or process technologies with the same or lower GHG emissions are used. EPA has published its analysis in the Federal Register and is inviting comment.
Background. The RFS regulations lists three critical components of an approved fuel pathway: (1) Fuel type; (2) feedstock; and (3) production process. EPA uses lifecycle analysis to assess the overall greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts of a fuel throughout each stage of its production and use.
DLR-led NEMESIS 2+ project develops compact direct steam reformer for diesel/biodiesel to H2
September 02, 2015
The European NEMESIS 2+ consortium has and successfully tested a pre-commercial on-site system for the production of hydrogen from diesel and biodiesel. The prototype system—the size of a shipping container—can be integrated into existing infrastructure with relative ease.
The prototype, built by the Dutch project partner HyGear, produces 4.4 kilograms of hydrogen from 20 liters of biodiesel per hour—this roughly corresponds to the fuel tank of a B-Class F-cell vehicle. The efficiency of the process, from start to finish, is approximately 70%. (Original project goals were 50 Nm3/h, or 4.5 kg/h with an efficiency >80%.) The EU NEMESIS 2+ project, which ran until June 2015, was coordinated by the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
Lux: Despite softness in utilization, global biofuels capacity to grow to 61.4 BGY in 2018; driven by novel fuels and feedstocks
August 31, 2015
The global biofuels industry averaged 68% in utilization rate from 2005 to 2014, reached a high of 80.9% in 2007, dropped to a low of 56.9% in 2012, and climbed slightly back to 60.4% in 2014. Despite the still apparent softness in capacity utilization, and the on-going softness in fossil fuel prices, global biofuels capacity will continue to grow from 55.1 billion gallons per year (BGY) to 61.4 BGY in 2018, according to a forecast by Lux Research. However, Lux predicts, growth between now and 2018 will not be a continuation of current course.
While ethanol and biodiesel will continue to dominate in absolute terms, these will grow at only a 1.5% CAGR through 2018. Novel fuels and feedstocks will drive the biofuels industry forward at a much more rapid 17% and 22% CAGRs through 2018, respectively.
BIO: RFS' biofuel requirements saved 589.3M tons of carbon emissions over past decade
August 24, 2015
Over its 10-year lifespan, the Renewable Fuel Standard's (RFS') requirement to substitute biofuels for fossil fuels has displaced nearly 1.9 billion barrels of foreign oil and reduced US transportation-related carbon emissions by 589.33 million metric tons, according to a new analysis released by the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO).
To develop its estimates, BIO utilized the GREET1.2013 model to compare carbon emissions from the mixture of US transportation fuels (both petroleum and biofuel) under two scenarios. The first scenario applied the annual required RFS Renewable Volume Obligation (RVO) percentages, as established by EPA rulemakings, to the volumes of fossil-based, non-renewable gasoline and diesel used in the United States. To establish a second scenario, BIO assumed that corn ethanol and soy biodiesel would have continued to meet just over 3% of the total reported transportation fuel use over the decade and that petroleum gasoline and diesel would have been used instead.
PNNL study of metabolic processes paves way to optimize lipids production in yeast Y. lipolytica
August 20, 2015
Lipid-derived biofuels have been proposed as a promising substitute for fossil fuels. The oleaginous ascomycete (sac fungus) yeast Yarrowia lipolytica accumulates large amounts of lipids and has potential as a biofuel producing organism; however, little is known about the key biological processes involved. To address this gap in knowledge, a recent study by a team from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) identified and characterized major pathways involved in lipid accumulation from glucose in Y. lipolytica.
This study builds a platform for efforts to engineer the yeast to optimize lipid accumulation and maximize the yield of carbon-based products. Because lipids from Y. lipolytica have chemical properties similar to those of diesel fuel, they can be readily used as biodiesel using current vehicles and existing infrastructure at gas stations. Thus, harnessing lipids from Y. lipolytica could represent a practical approach for transitioning more quickly to a biofuel-based energy system.
DENSO building large test facility for production of biofuel from P. ellipsoidea microalgae
August 19, 2015
Japan-based global automotive supplier DENSO Corporation will build a large 20,000 square meter test facility for the culture of Pseudochoricystis ellipsoidea, an oil-producing microalga patented by DENSO. The new facility located in Amakusa, Kumamoto, Japan will be used to perform verification tests needed to establish large-scale microalga cultivation technologies required to improve biofuel production efficiency. The facility will start operations in April, 2016.
DENSO has been working in collaboration with Keio University's Institute for Advanced Biosciences since April 2008 to produce biofuel extracted from P. ellipsoidea—a fast-growing, vigorous, and easy-to-cultivate microalga, on which DENSO holds patents. Hydrocarbons and triglycerides can be produced photoautotrophically to up to 30% of the dried biomass (Satoh et al.). The hydrocarbon fraction is more than 10 times higher in nitrogen depleted cells.
Researchers modify camelina to produce highest levels yet in transgenic plant oil of novel lipid acetyl-TAG; biofuel and industrial use
August 18, 2015
Researchers at Kansas State University led by Professor Timothy Durrett and their colleagues at Michigan State University and the University of Nebraska, Lincoln have engineered Camelina sativa—a non-food oilseed crop—to produce high levels (up to 85 mol%) of acetyl-triacylglycerols (acetyl-TAGs, or ac-TAGs)—a novel plant oil lipid with possible biofuel or industrial uses.
As reported in a paper in Plant Biotechnology Journal, this successful metabolic engineering and subsequent field production of the modified camelina crop marked the highest accumulation of the unusual oil achieved so far in transgenic plants. (Earlier work by Durrett and colleagues at the DOE Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center had resulted in approximately a 60 mol% accumulation of ac-TAGs.)
EPA proposes volume requirements for Renewable Fuel Standard for 2014-2016
May 29, 2015
Adhering to a schedule in a proposed consent decree (earlier post), the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced its long-awaited proposed volume requirements (renewable volume obligations, RVO) (earlier post) under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program for the years 2014, 2015 and 2016, and also proposed volume requirements for biomass-based diesel for 2017. The period for public input and comment on the proposal will be open until 27 July. EPA says it will finalize the volume standards in this rule by 30 November.
EPA is proposing to establish the 2014 standards at levels that reflect the actual amount of domestic biofuel used in that year; the standards for 2015 and 2016 (and 2017 for biodiesel) increase steadily over time, with the most aggressive growth projected for the problematic area of cellulosic biofuels: from 33 million gallons in 2014 to 206 million gallons in 2016.
Lund researchers develop optimized two-phase enzymatic process for production of biodiesel
April 06, 2015
Researchers at Lund University (Sweden) have developed an optimized two-phase enzymatic (lipase) system for the conversion of plant oils to biodiesel. Applied to the solvent-free ethanolysis of rapeseed oil, the system delivered a yield of 96% under mild conditions. Under the mild conditions used, chemical catalysts were inefficient. An open access paper on their work is published in the journal Biotechnology for Biofuels.
The current predominant method for the transesterification of triglycerides (plant and animal oils and fats) to biodiesel (a mixture of esters) uses chemical catalysts (sodium or potassium hydroxides or alkoxides). Despite its predominance, there are several drawbacks with this approach, including the need to remove inorganic salt in the downstream process; the high temperature required; and undesirable side reactions. Further, these systems are inefficient when a high free fatty acid (FFA) content is present in the starting material, thus restricting the use of conventional chemical pathways to a highly pure feedstock. An alternative approach is the use of immobilized lipase-catalyzed transesterification in the presence of an organic solvent.

After a few years of hit-or-miss quality films, Disney's animation studio has been on a roll lately with flicks like "Wreck-It Ralph" and "Frozen." It's looking to keep the magic alive with its newest film, "Big Hero 6," the first to feature characters from the Marvel universe.
Disney announced the voice cast behind the titular gang this week, and it's full of faces both familiar and fresh. The "6" are:
– Ryan Potter (of Nickelodeon martial arts comedy "Supah Ninjas" fame), who's playing main character Hiro Hamada, a 14-year-old genius who builds battle-bots.
– Scott Adsit (who played sad-sack producer Pete on "30 Rock"), who will voice Baymax, a plus-size robot built by Hiro who becomes the boy's best friend.
– T.J. Miller ("Silicon Valley," "Transformers: Age of Extinction"), who's voicing Fred, a laidback fanboy with a fire-breathing alter ego.
– Jamie Chung ("The Hangover" series, "Once Upon a Time"), who will play Go Go Tamago, a fast, saracastic daredevil.
– Damon Wayans Jr. ("New Girl"), who's playing Wasabi, a neurotic martial artist.
– Genesis Rodriguez ("Identity Thief," "The Last Stand"), who's voicing Honey Lemon. No description was released for her character.
Those leads are joined by Maya Rudolph, James Cromwell, Alan Tudyk, and Daniel Henney in supporting roles.
"Big Hero 6" hits theaters on November 6.

Assassin's Creed references
- During the "Prologue - Barricade" mission, where you must destroy a gate by using a ballista, drop down the wall to a series of scaffolding then reach the ground. Fight several soldiers from the rebellion group and make your way to the guarded ballista. Kill the enemies and clear the square, then go further back from the ballista and look to your right, beside a house. You will find a dead man dressed in a white robe with a red belt laying face down on top of a broken hay wagon (a reference to Altair Ibnu La Ahad). Look up to see a wooden ledge with a bird, which is where an assassin would usually survey the surroundings (synchronize) and perform the leap of faith. Geralt will say "I guess they never learn".
- You can also get a hidden ability named "Assassin" that gives a damage bonus on the attack that lands on enemy's back, This is a reference to the back stab assassination in Assassin's Creed.
Easy "Eagle Eye" achievement or trophy
Save the game. While shooting under Count Etcheverry, if you fail, reload the saved game and shoot again.
Easy "Friend of Trolls" achievement or trophy
There are four trolls at the following locations. You must complete their side quests. Note: If you side with Roche, you will encounter the pair of trolls towards the end of the chapter while travelling with Roche to the Battle of Vergen. Note: That is Geralt's second trip to Vergen during the chapter. You may not encounter the always hostile troll if you side with Iorveth in Chapter 2.
- One under the bridge in Chapter 1. You must help him get on the wagon by killing Dmitri. Recovering his mate's head is optional.
- A male and female pair in the ravines on the Iorveth side of the mist in Chapter 2. You must reunite them.
- A rogue on the Roche side of the mist in Chapter 2 that is always hostile. It does not affect earning "Friends of Trolls".
Easy "Man of the Shadows" achievement or trophy
During the "Indecent Proposal" quest, you will go to Loredo's compound. After handling the ballista, Roche will send you around the back to look around. While planning with Roche, a man will interject that the Kayran trap part is also back there. You have to go into the back and not be seen by any of the five guards. This may be easier to accomplish if you knock the guards out. There are two guards on the side of the building, and three others in the backyard. When you reach the second guard by the gate, wait a few seconds and he will begin to urinate and be an easy knock out target. The other four guards follow a simple pattern. The Kayran trap part can be found in a walled section towards the front of the compound.
Easy "Miser" achievement or trophy
- This can be done by the middle of Chapter 2 under the easier difficulty settings. Do not purchase anything except for quest requirements. Wait until you find swords and armor instead of buying them. Search all containers, loot all corpses, and hoard everything using storage chests to keep items. After settling in during the first two chapters, loot all of the residents in Flotsam and Vergen/Henselt's Camp. You can do this, even when the residents are home. Complete all arm wrestling and fist fighting side quests. Dice poker may be more difficult because it is random, however you can save and reload if you lose.
- During the Roche storyline, you will get a quest to go to Visionary house. Once there, you can quickly kill Harpies to earn Orens. They will respawn every time you enter then exit the house, or go up the path used to arrive then return. Four Harpies will spawn. Consider using the Silver Sword and Quen to quickly kill them under the normal difficulty setting. For about 100 inventory item weight from the rewards that drop, you can get over 2,000 worth in Orens after selling to a Merchant. The closest one is found at the bottom of tower near the brothel. Note: This can also be done during the Iorveth storyline at the Quarry, before you destroy their nests.
Easy "Pest Control" achievement or trophy
This can be completed without doing the Harpy contract. You do not have to complete the "60 feathers" quest.
Easy "Ricochet" achievement or trophy
Gain the ability to reflect arrows on the training path and leveling it to 2/2. Take Roche's side in Chapter 1. When searching for Cedric by following his blood trail during the "Where is Triss Merigold" quest, you will be attacked by five Scoia'tael in the forest near Flotsam. Note: Save the game before entering the forest. Two of them will remain slightly back and shoot arrows while the others attack with swords. Do not get to close to bow users, or they will switch to swords. Kill two or three of the sword wielders then block. The survivors will shoot arrows at you. After you deflect two or three of them at one enemy, they will die under the normal difficulty setting. If you failed, reload the saved game and try again.
Easy "Trollslayer" achievement or trophy
There are four trolls at the following locations. You must kill them instead of completing their side quests. Note: If you side with Roche, you will encounter the pair of trolls towards the end of the chapter while travelling with Roche to the Battle of Vergen. Note: That is Geralt's second trip to Vergen during the chapter. You may not encounter the always hostile troll if you side with Iorveth in Chapter 2.
- One under the bridge in Chapter 1.
- A male and female pair in the ravines on the Iorveth side of the mist in Chapter 2.
- A rogue on the Roche side of the mist in Chapter 2 that is always hostile.
Easy "Winter Solstice" achievement or trophy
The Winter Shrine is an area on the ground which can be activated using your medallion while standing on it. Afterwards, you will permanent get the ability to have a 20% chance to completely freeze an opponent when using the Aard sign. The shrine is located in Act III in either storyline path.
- If you sided with Iorveth, you will pass it while first gaining access to Loc Muinne. When walking next to the ruined aqueduct, instead of following Iorveth over the gap in the walls into the city, follow the path up the hill to your right. The shrine can be found at the top.
- If you sided with Roache, when you first approach the city with him, choose the option to remain behind and explore the area outside the city. Search the area behind you to find an underground cavern. It eventually leads to the same path found during the Iorveth's alliance. You can enter the city through the ruins after fighting some gargoyles, or you can backtrack through the caves and pass through the main entrance.
If you missed the Winter Shrine the first time, the area will still be accessible from the main city. Walking the route through the ruins in reverse. If you completed the Gargoyle contract side-quest, one of the encounters is directly next to this entrance. It is found to the left of the main entrance, in a courtyard with a well in the center.

Longest Snake - Help?
Anyone know if this achieve is glitched or is there a mode where it's only available in? I just attempted it on Time trial (had like 54) and busted the monster but nothing unlicked!
Me and most of my friends that have this game complete did it in task mode. I don't see how it wouldn't work in time attack mode but try it in task. Also they have to all be the same color not a combo over 50.
If you are having problems the easiest way to get 50 of the same color is start a task game of 3 color single. You have to fill up the right 3 collums to the top with nothing but 1 color. use the 2 left collums as a place to discard everything that is not 1 solid color. The 4th collum from the right is the same color as the rest of the right ones and you need need to leave the top 2 space open for the pieces that drop otherwise its game over. The third collum is just a buffer. You fill it up at the end to make 50. Also when filling the right side never push the x button as that will clear the screen.

I'm running Suffusion Theme (latest release 4.2.5) in WP 3.4.1 and tried installing Code Snippets - sounds ideal for what I'm doing!
First result after activating my first snippet: Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at [redacted] domains/gardenlass.com/html/wp/wp-content/plugins/code-snippets/code-snippets.php(380) : eval()'d code:31) in [redacted]/domains/gardenlass.com/html/wp/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 881
The snippet was not yet included in a post and already it showed in the header space of both site and admin area.
When I tried to change preferences on another plugin, WP Jump, the blog became inaccessible. I was able to back up to the previous screen and uninstall the plugin, regaining control of my blog.
This plugin says it'll do exactly what I need, which is to embed php code inside posts and pages. The concept of managing snippets like posts is brilliant. Now if it'll just work..?

"Placerville Page" Placerville by TheUpsetter
Placerville Travel Guide: 17 reviews and 24 photos
Here's what I know. Placerville was founded on the California Gold rush, but actually became a city in 1854. Two years after that the town was devastated by fire not once, but three times. Somehow, the town survived.
Placerville is called "Old Hangtown", due to the fact that many hangings took place near the center of town in the early days. We went there looking for the oak tree which provided the venue for many of these hangings, you know, get a photo standing next to a tree where so many people met there fate. Well, to our dismay the tree was taken down sometime in the 1940's, so we were a bit on the late side. Apparently the tree had become a "hazard", however it seemed to be a hazard for many long before it got big, old and ugly!
At this point I can say that the old main street is worth a walk up and down. If'n you're into antiques, there's loadsa' large shops up and down the street.
That's all I know.

When it comes to space or time in graphics, old habits die hard. When we have spatial data, the default is to put it on a map. When we have a time series, the default is to plot time along the horizontal axis. Sometimes, these defaults work; other times, breaking up the map or straight-time-line works better.Thanks to a reader, I noticed that Google put up a "Flu Trends" website to help us track the flu season. They use two main charts to plot the data, as shown below. On the right side is the time series, showing the severity of flu cases from month to month. There are many great things about this chart and one serious flaw. I love the fact that they did not plot time on the horizontal axis; they realize the seasonality and they create overlapping lines. They make good use of foreground and background; it's easy for us to compare year to year differences.
The serious flaw: no vertical scale. This was a problem with Google Trends from day one (see my post here). They still haven't fixed it. Because of this, we don't know if the peak shown was 5 cases or 5000 cases. While for Google key word searches, one can excuse them for trying to protect commercial secrets. I would imagine that this public health data is, well, public. Since the apparent purpose of this chart is to allow citizens to declare a flu epidemic (say, when they see the current trend depart from the historical norm), not having the scale is a huge problem.
I also disagree with shifting the months around for the Northern Hemisphere so that the peaks of the graphs are aligned towards the middle. It is better for the peaks to appear on the left and let the order of the months conform to our expectation. (The "peak" would be split on the sides and the chart would look like a valley, which presumably is why they did it this way.)
The charts on the left side plot the spatial data, not surprisingly on maps. Sadly, the standard exhibited on the time-series charts is nowhere found on these maps.
First, the legend is seriously deficient.
Second, the gradation of the colors is not fine enough, or put differently, the aggregation to the state/province level is much too coarse for any interesting pattern to be seen.
This poorly aggregated map becomes a farce when applied to the U.S. There is not much left to be said, is there?

Seth followed up his post about graphics with a specific post about pie charts versus bar charts. He prefers pie charts. We happen to agree with his unhappiness of grouped bar charts. Unfortunately he compared an univariate pie chart (depicting point-in-time data) with a multivariate bar chart (iluustrating time-series data).
Here we present a different example, derived from a NYT article on diabetes in America. The original chart is a series of pie charts, one for each age group, and one for the aggregate data.
The junkart version uses a bar chart. Readers can get a more precise comparison of the prevalence rates across age groups because it is easier to judge lengths than areas. This has been scientifically proven by the likes of Cleveland.
Dirty trick, you might say because the original chart actually prints the data in each pie.
So now there is no mistaking the data. This raises a philosophical question: why bother graphing the data if the reader needs to read the data in order to understand the chart? We call this the self-sufficiency test. The graphical elements of a pie chart can't stand on their own.

Christopher P submitted this chart, which is great for our light entertainment series.Apparently it came from the Netherlands and showed how privileged their citizens are compared to the rest of the world. It would appear that they need to reverse the color scheme (and font size?) to highlight the privileged. Comments welcome.

At first, this looks like a decent chart despite the donut construct, which I cannot stand (but the Economist loves).
The accompanying text proclaimed: "Rock stars are famous for excess, and some pay the price". The rest of the paragraph points out drug- and alcohol-related deaths, plus deaths due to "unhealthy lifestyles", which apparently include cancer and cardiovascular disease.
There is a gaping hole between what's on the chart and what's in the text. They just talk past each other.
Charting is much more than just aesthetics. Some basic statistical common sense goes a long way. This was observed long ago by Huff.Source: "Rock stars: live fast, die young", Economist, Sept 4 2007.

David Leonhardt wrote in the NYT of a shocking incident of statistical abuse committed by Lou Dobbs and the CNN crew.
On several recent occasions, while commenting on the red-hot immigration issue, Lou and company remarked that "there had been 7,000 cases of leprosy in this country over the previous three years, far more than in the past". (Leprosy is a flesh-eating disease prevalent among immigrants, particularly of Asian or Latin American origin.)
When asked about fact-checking, Lou reportedly said: "If we reported it, it's a fact." A quick visit to the government's leprosy program web-site immediately reveals the time-series chart, shown on the left. With annual rates at about 150 in the last 5 years or so, one is hard impressed to find the 7,000 alleged cases!
Furthermore, because this chart lacks comparability, we fail to see that 150 cases out of a population of 300 million represent a minuscule risk.
A slight downward trend is evident in the last 20 years or so; this record is even more impressive when we realize the population grew during this period. These points can be made clearer in multivariate plots.

This graphic appeared on the front page of the British paper, the Independent. I find it to be effective, although defiantly not efficient a la Tufte: the data-to-ink ratio is abysmal. Two data points on the entire page, with both data labels drawn in extra large font!It can be improved if the 24 guys are given a different color so we can see the amount of improvement between 1971 and "NOW".
Some may complain that the use of percentages obscured population growth during this period. Perhaps there should be fewer men on the left than on the right. Unfortunately, that would in turn obscure the comparison of percentages.
A bit of research into the data (at Cancer Research UK) reveals that the average survival rate hides a very wide range of rates (by type of cancer, by gender, by gender and type, etc.). One might argue that the average is quite meaningless for most users.An alternative construct is a time series chart showing the increase in survival rate over time. It would plot more data and depict a trend (or lack thereof). I'd have to agree with the editor that such a chart would look unattractive on the newstand.Source: "Cancer: the good news", The Independent, May 16, 2007

I've been reading my friend's anti-smoking tome, and traced this "infographic" back to its source (World Health Organization).
I was very intrigued by the "lines of death" which seemed to make the point that the risk of death had a spatial correlation: specifically, that the death risk for male smokers was higher in northern hemisphere (above the line), primarily developed countries, as compared to the southern hemisphere, mostly developing nations.
I find that somewhat counter-intuitive but in a fascinating book like this, that brings together both scientific, psychological and societal commentary, I was expecting to learn new things.
Looking at the legend, the red areas were regions in which deaths from tobacco use accounted for over 25% of "total deaths among men and women over 35". This explained some, as perhaps there were more reasons to die (warfare, other diseases, mine accidents, etc.) in developing nations than in developed nations, or that they had larger populations (so more deaths even at lower rates).
However, the description of the "lines of death" raised my eyebrows. It is now claimed that more than 25% of middle-aged people (35-69 years old) die from tobacco use in the red regions.
Did they mean 25% of the dead middle-aged people die from smoking? Or 25% of all middle-aged folks die from smoking? A gigantic difference!
Percentages are very tricky things to use. Every time I see a percentage, the first thing I ask is what is the base population. Here, the baseline appeared to have gotten lost in translation.
This set of maps also shows the peril of focusing too much on entertainment value, and losing the plot.
For those concerned about the effect of smoking on our society and our children, I highly recommend Dr. Rabinoff's highly readable new book, "Ending the tobacco holocaust". It contains lots of interesting tidbits and really brings together every cogent argument that exists, including the common ones you've heard and others you haven't.

We can look at this problem as Bernoulli trials with probability of success.
This is simply plugging into the combinatory equation for the event of successes out of trials:
Let be the event that 2 of out 26 nodes fail. Using our equation we get:
So the chances that 2 out of 26 nodes fail is roughly .
This event, let's call it , occurs if either 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 nodes fail. So it is similar to part (a), but we will need a summation.
So the probability that no more than 5 nodes fail is about .
Similar to the last part, we will need a summation of probabilities. Let this event be called .
So, the chances of this event occurring are apparently very low, they are .

This is probably basic but for the life of me I can't figure out how I've done it on my other blogs.
I have 4 categories that I post to on my blog. I only want categories for my default blog posts to get posted to the main page of my blog. Right now posts in all of my categories are coming up on the main page though.
How can I adjust it so that only posts for my default category come up on the main page of the blog?

To help you lose weight, your doctor might have said things like, "Get more exercise," "Cut back on calories," or "Eat less junk." It's all good advice -- but what exactly does it mean? How much exercise should you do? How many calories do you need to stop eating in order to shed pounds?
Learn how to turn your doctor's well-meaning, yet sometimes vague, strategies into real steps you can start taking today.
The Advice: 'Get Down to a Healthy Weight'
What It Means: For you, gauging a healthy weight might be about how your clothes fit (like whether you can still squeeze into your favorite pair of jeans). For your doctor, getting to a healthy weight has more to do with lowering your odds of getting conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Keeping an eye on your weight is important. Although some studies have found you can be both overweight and healthy, other researchers say that if the numbers on the scale are high, your health is at risk.
Yet stepping on your bathroom scale alone won't tell you if you're at a healthy weight, since it doesn't take your height into account. At 150 pounds, you're overweight if you measure 5 feet 2 inches tall, but just right if you're 6 feet 2 inches.
A more accurate measure is your body mass index (BMI), which calculates your weight in relation to your height. A BMI of between 18.5 and 24.9 is healthy.
BMI isn't perfect. It doesn't consider how muscular you are, or where your fat is located. So also check your waist circumference. A woman's waist should measure 35 inches or less, and a man's should be 40 inches or less around. Together, your waist size and BMI can give you a good guide to how much you need to trim.
The Advice: 'Lose 1 to 2 Pounds a Week'
What It Means: Not sure how to get to those numbers? Well, think of it this way: One pound of fat is equal to 3,500 calories. To lose a pound, you need to shave off about 500 calories a day for 7 days.

Man charged in scissor assaultStaff Report | January 01,2013Police say a Tinmouth man stabbed a woman in front of their daughter and then coached the girl to lie about it.
Kevin Frederick, 29, of McCoy Road, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland Criminal Court to charges of domestic assault and interference with access to emergency services. He was released on the conditions including that he stay away from the woman and their children. If convicted, he could face a maximum of two and a half years in prison and $10,000 in fines.
Police said they arrived at the family home Friday afternoon in response to a family fight complaint and found the woman "crying profusely, and physically trembling." She said a dispute escalated to Frederick stabbing her in the forearm with a pair of scissors, according to affidavits, and unplugging the phone to keep her from calling for help before hitting himself in the head with a metal space heater.
Police said the woman's arm had several fresh puncture wounds.
Frederick's account of events, according to police, was that the woman hit him in the face and then stabbed herself with the scissors.
Police said three small children were in the room for the fight, and that the oldest, an eight-year-old, initially backed Frederick's story.
However, police said that after a discussion of the difference between truth and lies, the girl told them Frederick had stabbed her
mother and then told her to tell the police her mother had stabbed himself.
The affidavit noted that state law allows a court to consider the presence of small children during a crime when it determines sentences.
