...continued, (page 3 of 3)
1UP: Regarding MGS3: Snake Eater, all of your previous games have little easter eggs, cool things you can do that you might not think of, things that reveal an incredible attention to detail. Like shooting an ice bucket in MGS2, which causes the ice cubes inside to melt, or shooting an LCD monitor and having the monitor bleed to black. But while previous games had a few of these things, Snake Eater literally has dozens. Like twirling the analog directional stick around until Snake throws up. Where do you come up with all this stuff??
Then, like 60% of that half is discussed with the team members, saying "oh maybe this is a better idea" or maybe "let's put this in." This is all up to the staff while constructing the game. At the beginning stage of the planning of course the big details are written, because the top priority is the game, and not the gimmicks. So what happens is I go directly to each of the staff and say "well what about this gimmick?" Then they decide together. It's not in the basic design document or anything. If I was working with 100 staff members that means there'd be 100 gimmicks. Then I go to the designer, the programmer, or the scenario writer or script writer and say "what about that gimmick, or this gimmick?" So that they can do their main job and one gimmick on the side. Then you end up with 100 gimmicks. Even when the game is made most of the staff doesn't know what kind of gimmicks are in there, because it's just a kind of mutual agreement between myself and each staff member.
Another example is let's say in the programming section, there's 30 people, if I go to the director of the section and say "We have these 30 ideas, put this in," and what happens is only 15 make it in, I'll go directly to the 30 programmers to make the 30 things happen. This is how I make all these gimmicks happen. So during the bug checking within the staff members, even the staff really enjoy finding these gimmicks, and even enjoy the process of bug testing. And the one you said, of Snake vomiting, they didn't know this.
1UP: Which is your favorite gimmick in MGS3?
HK: I like the vomiting a lot, actually. [Laughs] First I had this idea and I mentioned it to [Metal Gear intro credits designer] Kyle Cooper in the States while we were chatting, and Kyle said "if you don't do it, you're going to spoil your trademark Kojima style. So you should do it." So it was highly recommended by Mr. Cooper.
1UP: [Laughs] The vomiting?
HK: Yes.
1UP: MGS3's revamped game mechanics took it out of the corridors of old and really took things to a new level. Just when games like Splinter Cell were thought to have caught up with you, you stepped on the gas and left everyone in the dust yet again. It almost makes the old Metal Gear Solid's feel primitive by comparison, like complex games of Pac-Man. How do you feel about MGS3 in hindsight as you prepare Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence?
HK: I'm pretty satisfied. Although this was the least time I had to create a Metal Gear Solid, compared to 1 and 2, I'm very satisfied by, first of all, the balance. Although I'm creating MGS4 now, at that time I wasn't planning to create 4, meaning that I wanted to put all the techniques and all the technology in MGS3, so overall I'm very satisfied by the outcome of MGS3.
There was regret, actually, about the camera. Because it was Metal Gear and also the fact I have 3D sickness as well, I didn't want the camera to be FPS-style or behind-the-back, I wanted to make it top-view, because that was "Metal Gear," so I insisted on it. However at the same time I was always experimenting with the camera, before bringing MGS3 out. There are many users, after the game came out, who requested that the camera should be changed. So that's one regret I have, actually, about MGS3.
Another point was online. The team was working on online experiments for two years, but we couldn't put it in MGS3: Snake Eater. So, moving on to Subsistence, these two [the camera and the online play] are implemented. For me, it is the complete edition of MGS3. Since the team were experimenting with both camera and online, I felt like I would like to put both of these in the game to see the feedback from the users, almost as a trial, since they were working on it for so long.
1UP: Did you ever consider releasing the online game as a standalone product? Like Metal Gear Online, as is?
HK: Well, yes, it's been on my mind for quite a while. But the reason we don't release it as a standalone product, is that as a business opportunity, the infrastructure isn't there. What we've put in Subsistence, which we call MGO [Metal Gear Online], is only about 20% of what we want to do. But even if it's only 20%, we want players to try it out and play it, and we really want to receive feedback, so we can implement it in future projects. So then the full 100% MGO, whether it's with MGS4 or as a standalone project still has to be decided in the near future. But first, it was important to bring out the first 20% to the users and let them try it, that was the first priority.

How Private Prisons Profit From the Criminalization of Immigrants
Submitted by Persona non grata on Mon, 2012-12-17 01:00
The U.S. locks up the highest percentage of its population in the world—730 per 100,000, nearly two and a half million people. Although it has only 5% of the population, 25% of the world's prison population is behind bars in the U.S.

Great productI am very happy with this purchase. I was looking for an iron which would be heavy. This product is just perfect..Produces a lot of heat(need to be a little cautious with this aspect) and heavy enough to straighten out those stubborn wrinkles.

Awesome ProductI found this to be a very nice product. The heating is perfect and so is the auto-off . Very reasonably priced. Good purchase. Go for it since it also has steam ironing in such a low price range.Wire is also quite long, it is light weight. Read manual before you start to use it. That will help you gain the best of ironing.

Help United Way of Nevada County Help the Homeless
Published on Dec 5, 2012 - 11:54:57 AM
By: United Way of Nevada County
December 5, 2012 - United Way of Nevada County is holding a drive to collect warm socks and gloves for the homeless in our community. Donate new socks and gloves and help the homeless stay warm this winter. Who are the homeless? They are people challenged by illness or injury, or both; by traumas of childhood or war, or both; by their own imperfect choices or those of others, or both-or by all of these troubles. Too often they are children. So please donate new women's, men's and children's socks and gloves. Everything collected will stay in our community.
Drop off locations include Walker's Office Supplies, JC Penney, and B&C True Value Home Center and the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce.
Want to put out a collection box at your business? We have Sock Drive Kits, which include a box, and fliers. Please let us know if you are interested in participating in this holiday collection.
This year's United Way community impact areas are Education, Income and Health. In the impact area of Education, they are helping children and adults achieve their potential through education and mentoring programs. In the impact area of Income, they are helping families and seniors become financially stable and independent by supporting basic needs. Through the impact area of Health, they are improving people's health by increasing access to critical healthcare services, reducing substance abuse, child abuse, and domestic violence. United Way is creating opportunities by focusing on these three building blocks for a good life. Live United this holiday season, help us keep the homeless warm with socks and gloves.

Juan Silva.
Juan Duran- I think he is starting to come around and his rating has fallen far below the potential.
This is a tough one. I guess the first question I have to ask is, "under rated compared to what ratings?" My ratings? Baseball America? Baseball Prospectus? John Sickels? Jonathan Mayo? General Redszone feelings?
My initial thought, and it may sound crazy when I say it, is Robert Stephenson. When I see national rankings and see 5+ other pitchers ranked ahead of him, I just can't wrap my head around it. When Mayo ranked Billy Hamilton ahead of Stephenson, I couldn't figure it out.
To me, it matters more that a guy like Stephenson is underrated than if a guy in the 20's or 30's in his own system might need to be up 5 spots.
The interesting thing about under/over rated discussions is that there is no right or wrong formula for your opinion. "The Stark Truth" by Jason Stark is a book entirely about just that.
I also feel like Stephenson is underrated by some, but to add to the discussion, I will go with Jesse Winker. Some may feel like he has regressed because he isn't hitting .338 like last year. He is now rocking a .281 BA, but it is with a much more sustainable BABIP. His walk rate is still extraordinary and he has cut down his K rate by almost 3% this year while also hitting for more power. I think Winker will be an impact player in Cincinnati.
Kyle Waldrop
.344 .577 .920 over the second half of the season (215 AB's)
Had a rough rough start to the season, .274 .391 .665 (256 AB's)
3 months younger than Duran. Shows more power than Duran 55 XBH vs 31.
XBH every 12.16 for Duran / 8.53 for Waldrop.
LHB who crushes LHP (.333 .496 .829)
Achilles heel is doesn't walk a ton. That number is skewed by only 3 BB vs 115 AB's vs LHP. But with a .304 BAA I'd be swinging too...
26 BB in 356 AB vs RHP which is more acceptable.
With all the attention on Hamilton, Winker, Ervin, Yorman, Duran and even Arias this year I think his development is somewhat underappreciated and unnoticed.
Reds are deep in talent in the OF which could get him lost in the shuffle.
I'll go with Tucker Barnhardt. Seems like Ryan Hanigan 2.0 to me.
Waldrop, Barnhart, Silva all seem distinctly underrated to me.
Rick stole my pick!
Barnhardt is going to be a great platoon guy with Mez in 2015. I don't know about development, but I think he should drop his RH batting and just stick with his LH game. He's a great hitter from that side of the plate and could end up leaving the Reds with the option to replace Mez longterm, or move him to 3b or LF if he is an .800 OPS bat by then (which I think he will be). Barnhardt is a top 5 guy for me, I think.
I'll go with someone who has surprisingly not been mentioned yet: Seth Mejias-Brean.
Mejias-Brean hit .313/.389/.536 - .925 OPS with Billings last year after being drafted out of Arizona. He's described as being a very athletic guy who put on great HR displays in batting practice but the power never showed up in games. Well, he belted 8 HR in 179 atbats with Billings. He started this season off very poorly, but has rebounded to hit .307/.384/.450 - .834 OPS with Dayton, including something like a .340 BA and .900+ OPS since May 12th. He's also considered a great defensive 3B. He seems like a guy that could profile as an above average 3B at the major league level.
Here is my list of potential MLB regulars:
So far, these are the only offensive players that could deserve an underrated grade, if the goal is to play MLB ball everyday.
SMB, as a 22 year old in low A, still has a lot to prove. I can see him adding some defensive positions and getting more playing time that way, but he at least has given himself some consideration with his plate discipline. I just don't count him as one that should be rated that highly. If he's top ten for the Reds, that just means the Reds farm isn't that deep at the moment.

KaplanAppropiate for daily rides
Prof MacKayThis seems like a good quality, hard-wearing tyre. At 110 psi they were a bit hard on the bottom, but they rolled with little resistance and had a very good grip on damp roads last week when I rode them for the first time. They are a delight to put on the rim I'd been caught a year ago with a puncture in the middle of nowhere, and couldn't get a Zaffiro off the rim, let alone replace it. The Yaws popped on with my fingers, so will be easy to detach and remount with any reliable tyre lever if the weather is cold.
Mr WellingsGood value product. Quality better than some tyres at twice the price.

The recent eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland has no doubt thrown a wrench in the plans of thousands of travelers. None more so than Troops stationed around the world who are deploying or returning home. It's times like these that the USO faces the challenge of serving huge numbers of stranded Troops and we're proud to say we're rising to the occasion.
UPDATE: From WUSA 9, "Volcanic ash has delayed many troops heading overseas out of BWI-Thurgood Marshall Airport…Some troops are getting hotel rooms, some are staying with friends, and others are taking advantage of the USO lounge." Watch the video below!

He was photograph at the USO, at Philadelphia International Airport on Tuesday afternoon, April 20, 2010. (Photo by ALEJANDRO A. ALVAREZ / PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS)"][/caption]
At the USO Liberty Center - located in Terminal A at Philadelphia International Airport - Army Lt. Richard Cobb found himself with plenty of time on his hands as he waiting to continue on to another flight during leave. As reported by Ronnie Polaneczky of the Philadelphia Daily News, Cobb and others saw one connecting flight to Europe after another canceled, with no immediate information on when they'd be re-booked. The stranded Troops who found their way to the USO, however, were weathering the delays just fine:
"I could talk about these [USO volunteers] for days," said Cobb, 26, who's assigned to the 95th Military Police Battalion, stationed in Mannheim, Germany. "Their hospitality has been unbelievable. The beds and showers are great. They're constantly asking me if I want something to eat, if I need a wake-up call, if there's anything they can do…these guys really deserve the publicity. They do a phenomenal job."
This support comes at a cost, though, as USO Centers are straining their resources to serve thousands whose flights are delayed. As numerous sources - including WAVY in Norfolk, VA - are reporting, USO Centers like the one at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta are serving up to 1000 soldiers in a 24-hour period, well over the daily average.
Donations of items like bottled water and packaged snacks are especially appreciated in times like this. Click here to find your local USO and learn how you can help!

I have an index view of a model which I would like to filter by some combination of the model's attributes.
For example, I have a Bill model (not the kind on ducks, the kind you have to pay) that I might filter on payee and/or status.
The model has a scope for each individual attribute, e.g.
scope :bill_status, lambda {|status| where("status = ?", status}
scope :bill_payee, lambda {|payee| where("payee_id = ?", payee.id}
The view allows the user to select zero or more options -- if an option is not selected, it means "don't filter by this".
In the controller, I can do something yucky like this:
def index
status = params[:bill][:status]
payee = params[:bill][:payee]
if status.present? and payee.present?
# chain scopes
@bills = Bill.bill_status(status).bill_payee(payee)
elsif status.present?
@bills = Bill.bill_status(status)
elsif payee.present?
@bills = Bill.bill_payee(payee)
@bills = Bill.all
# rest of controller action
But while this works, it's neither pretty nor easily extensible -- adding a third filter means I now have many more possibilities. I seek beauty and purity.
On the assumption that my scopes are all chainable, it seems like I should be able to do something like
def index
@bills = Bill.all
@bills = @bills.bill_status(params[:bill][:status]) if params[:bill][:status].present?
@bills = @bills.bill_payee(params[:bill][:payee]) if params[:bill][:payee].present?
# rest of controller code
'cept it doesn't work because
Bill.all is an array. Plus, that's no fun because
Bill.all executes the query, which I only want to run once thanks to AREL magic. Should I just define a scope like
all_bills (with no conditions?) -- that would be an
ActiveRecord::Relation I guess...
Is there a pattern that solves this problem more elegantly? Whenever I have code to do one thing that relies on Model, View and Controller I feel as though I might be doing something wrong. Or as though someone smarter and harder working than I has already solved it :-)
Bonus question: I want this all to work with my paginator of choice, the most excellent Kaminari gem.
All thoughts and ideas welcomed.

Mount Upton, NY Land Info
New York is the country's 36th biggest agricultural state. In 2014, the agricultural sector contributed $3.49 billion to the state's economy, or less than one percent of overall state GDP (placing it 25th among all U.S. states for the size of its farm economy). Some 58 percent of New York's annual farm income is from livestock products (including poultry, beef and dairy cattle, sheep or hogs and pigs). The other 42 percent comes from crops. New York's chief agricultural commodity is dairy products. The state also accounts for eight percent of the country's apple harvest. According to 2012 U.S. Census data, there were 35,537 farms recorded in the state, covering a total of 7.2 million acres (or the equivalent of 21 percent of the entire state land area).Read More +

CRT chairman Don McFarlane says the company has received a
strong mandate to proceed with the proposed Farmlands merger,
following the first shareholder vote yesterday.
The first of two votes required to approve the merger was
completed at a CRT shareholder meeting in Christchurch
yesterday, with 85.5% in favour, which exceeded the 75%
threshold required.
Subject to a confirmatory vote by shareholders on February
27, a merger would proceed on March 1, Mr McFarlane said.
He was ''very pleased'' with the outcome, saying the boards
and management of both societies had put considerable effort
into the formulation and evaluation of the proposal before it
was put to shareholders.
''We thought it made sense; our independent advisers agreed
and now the plans have been endorsed by the shareholders of
both organisations,'' he said.
The result meant less than 3% of the total shareholder base
had voted against the proposal, which amounted to a strong
mandate to proceed, he said.
It is understood Farmlands shareholders yesterday also voted
in favour of the merger.
The merged entity would have 54,000 members throughout New
Zealand, more than 1000 staff, 47 farm supplies stores in the
North Island and 31 in the South Island with combined
historic sales of more than $2 billion a year.
A business plan for the merger identified potential net
synergy benefits amounting to $18 million from the third year

FSF Settles with Cisco over Licensing
In December 2008, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) filed a lawsuit against network giant Cisco, claiming that its subsidiary Linksys had multiple violations of the GPL. The two parties have now reached an agreement.
As part of the agreement, Cisco is appointing a Free Software Director for Linksys who will oversee Linksys' compliance with free software licenses, primarily the GNU General Public License. The director is to report periodically to the FSF about its compliance efforts.
Cisco also agreed to publish a licensing notice on the Linksys website and in a separate publication, notify Linksys customers of their licensing rights under FSF guidelines, and provide free source code downloads of the parts of Linksys products affected by the licenses. Cisco is also to contribute monetarily to the FSF to promote their efforts.

The Kelowna AquaJets Swim Club has been structured around four basic phases of athlete development in age group swimming. At each level of the program, we continually try to evaluate and adapt to the multitude of factors, both scientific and physiological, that might impact the growth and development of our young athletes.
Competitive Program
Bronze Program
Swimmers will now move into the first phase of competitive swimming in the age group program. Swimmers who move into this program must be able to swim all four strokes and maintain good technique in low intensity interval work. The emphasis will remain primarily teaching with an equal balance of technique work and skills development.
Family Registration Fee (once per family) $45
SwimBC Insurance Fee $82 (8 & under), $102 (9 - 10), $148 (11 - 14)
Monthly Training Fee $109 (Bronze 1), $124 (Bronze)
Click here to sign up!
This phase of training is higher level of age group program and the beginning phase of the senior program. The quantity and intensity of the training program increases in this phase of training. For the first time, the program structure calls for more time devoted to physiological conditioning than to teaching fundamentals.
SwimBC Insurance Fee $102 (9 - 10), $148 (11 - 14), $190 (15 - over)
Monthly Training Fee $157 (Silver), $175 (Gold)
Click Here to sign up!
Swimmers with the appropriate dedication, desire, and talent move to the advanced training level. This training program is very demanding with a very heavy emphasis on distance based physiological training.
SwimBC Insurance Fee $148 (11 - 14), $190 (15 - over)
Monthly Training Fee $195
Non-Competitive Program
Junior Jets
Junior Jets is a technique-based program. KAJ coaches and trained staff work with your swimmer on all four competitive strokes and gaining endurance through drills and kicking.
Your swimmer will also be introduced to racing skills such as dives, turns, and streamline. Swimmers leave class feeling like they got a good workout and are part of a team.
Many swimmers use junior jets as a "stepping stone" to the competitive KAJ team. Other swimmers use it to get in shape.
Overview of Junior Jets:
- For ages 6-12
- Taught by trained KAJ coaches
- Classes held twice per week for 45 minutes
- Choose from Monday/Wednesday option or Tuesday/Thursday option
-- Fosters teamwork and sportsmanship
SwimBC Insurance Fee $40
Monthly Training Fee $78
If interested in this program please contact Head Coach, Emil Dimitrov
Monthly Training Fee $92

Pretty good plugin, great for custom sites, not as powerful as for example WooCommerce but on the other hand it doesn't force you to do anything, and there are no overcomplications.
IMO it is just missing a
1) product options filter (you can add custom options to products and change the price accordingly which is great, but don't have a filter for that)
2) a price range filter (from and to, or a range slider, or even better, both).
3) 2checkout integration would be good, since it is a pretty popular gateway.
The first 2 things I stated I believe are a must for any serious ecommerce plugin, the third one here and there.
All in all pretty good, hopefully it will evolve a bit more in time.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.47 lbs (0.21 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

In the beginning you get sick, because of dying of the candida. This is normal! But if you start at a low dose and slowely take more, you will feel less sick. It's a real perfect medicine against candida. The candida will never get resistant to this. So I keep on using it for a long time!
I was taking Capricin for a month, and it completely got rid of my recurrent Yeast Infections. Then I decided to switch to Now Foods brand because it was cheaper. I guess you get what you pay for. With Probiologic Capricin actually smell and taste a little like coconut. The Now Food Caprylic Acid on the other had was odorless, tasteless oil. I don't know what it was supposed to do, but it didn't work against candida, and I ended up with another yeast infection while on this. I switched back to the Capricin and the infection was gone in one day.
great product!!

I have leaky gut and candida issues, I was taking a range of herb provided by my herbalist but did my own research to find this product. It took me only a week to start to transform my stomach and finally heal my gastritis. I am absolutely certain this product is what made all the difference. I highly recommend. my sister tried the other NOW brand Candida support and she said that really helped her, it gave me an allergy type reaction as my stomach was sensitive to one of the ingredients.

I usually bite the pill and suck out the contents which is quite pleasant and subtle tasting. I found my gut feeling more settled and less gluggy in the throat.

In this paper we show how the dynamics of the Schrödinger, Pauli and Dirac particles can be described in a hierarchy of Clifford algebras, \({\mathcal{C}}_{1,3}, {\mathcal{C}}_{3,0}\), and \({\mathcal{C}}_{0,1}\). Information normally carried by the wave function is encoded in elements of a minimal left ideal, so that all the physical information appears within the algebra itself. The state of the quantum process can be completely characterised by algebraic invariants of the first and second kind. The latter enables us to show that the Bohm energy and momentum emerge from the energy-momentum tensor of standard quantum field theory. Our approach provides a new mathematical setting for quantum mechanics that enables us to obtain a complete relativistic version of the Bohm model for the Dirac particle, deriving expressions for the Bohm energy-momentum, the quantum potential and the relativistic time evolution of its spin for the first time.

Hi !
Here is my problem. I had a WordPress Network with a lot of issues... I backed up it and create a new one. The old WordPress network was prefixed "wp_" and the new one is prefixed "ox_" . Now what I need to do is to restore the third old subsite (with prefix "wp_3_") into my new network. I also have the ftp backup.
What do I need to do to have everything working fine ? Create a new subsite in my new network, see the new subsite id and replace any instance of "wp_3_" by "ox_[id]_" ? What about the upload file folder ? Hopefully, the domain/subdomain is the same.
Thanks you very much.

← Programs / Arts / Political Science
Program Details
Where better to study politics than the nation's capital? Our location in Ottawa provides you with numerous chances to see politics not only nationally but internationally. You will examine such topics of study as international relations, transitions to democracy, parties and elections, globalization and social movements, and the culture and ideas of politics.
You can focus on one of seven areas of study: Canadian Politics; Comparative Politics and Area Studies (Global North) or Comparative Politics and Area Studies (Global South); Gender and Politics; International Relations; North American Politics; Political Theory; and Public Affairs and Policy Analysis.
International exchanges are an exciting possibility during your third year. In fourth year, a Canadian/British Parliamentary internship or an internship with the Washington Center are options for consideration.
Honours, Combined Honours and General programs are offered. A co-op option, a minor and a Mention : Français are also available.
What students are saying about Political Science
Being able to live and learn in the Canadian political hub of Ottawa was a great experience. Not only was I able to learn in the classroom from some of the best professors in the country, but I was able to gain practical experience working in the political field, through a number of different opportunities available on Parliament Hill. Carleton also helped ensure that completion of my degree became a reality, through its generous scholarship and bursary program. Carleton was everything I hoped it would be, and more.Dustin Hutton-Alcorn, fourth-year student in Political Science and Human Rights

The First W Sound Suite at the W Retreat Bali
June 22, 2016
By: Five Star Alliance
The very first W Sound Suite from W Hotels is available at the W Retreat & Spa Bali, in the vibrant Seminyak neighborhood. W Hotels plans to unveil additional sound studios in the W Hollywood, W Barcelona, and W Seattle, but for now, check out what the W Bali can exclusively offer:
Designed by New York-based Josh Held Design, the W Sound Suite is a private, soudproof recording studio and writing room available to both professional musicians and hotel guests. A private vocal booth overlooks the hotel's tropical garden.
W Sound Suite is the idea of Chicago-based producer DJ White Shadow, W's North American music director. The DJ affixed the large soundproof studio with sound equipment and helped determine its layout. The studio has locally sourced wooden furniture, hand-carved wooden blocks and handwoven rugs. Other touches include an oversized print of a 1980s boombox by artist Lyle Owerko and a photography print spanning the entire room.
Coca-Cola also contributed to the development of the studio, which has subtle touches of red, a chandelier made from melted Coke bottles and oversized wall text featuring lyrics from the 1970s "I'd like to teach the world to sing..." advertisement.

Renovations Continue at the Adare Manor Hotel
May 23, 2016
By: Five Star Alliance
Adare Manor Hotel & Golf Resort is set on a magnificent 840 acre estate in the heart of the picturesque village of Adare, Co. Limerick featuring sweeping parklands, formal French gardens, magnificent mature trees and the River Maigue, one of Ireland's finest trout rivers. As of January 2016, the hotel closed their doors for approximately 18 months to undergo an extensive refurbishment and development project. As you can see from these photos posted today on Twitter by Adare Manor, the Manor House is slowly being encapsulated in a white wrap as the exterior conservation work continues.
Adare Manor offered the following details about the planned renovation:
This major refurbishment will enhance all areas of the resort including upgrading and restoring internal finishes, furniture and woodwork, and repairing the external stonework and windows. New designs by acclaimed architects Reardon Smith and interior designers Richmond will enhance all guest bedrooms and public areas. These renovations will honour the building's architectural heritage as a Neo-Gothic masterpiece and embody the hotel's signature style, whilst incorporating the latest in contemporary luxury and technological innovations.
Subject to planning permission, the construction of an additional bedroom wing will add extra bedrooms bringing the total room count to 104 bedrooms, while the addition of a splendid new ballroom will have the capacity of 350 people catering for events and international conferences; both will be clad in limestone, complimenting the architectural detail of the original Manor House. The enhancements in the Manor House will also include a new state of the art spa, pool and relaxation area, boardroom and cinema.
Plans are also in place for a complete transformation of the golf clubhouse with local architects, Michael Healy and Partners. While on the golf course, world-renowned golf course architect Tom Fazio will assist with improvements to make the course one of the finest Parkland courses in Europe.
The 800 acres of Adare Manor's beautiful parkland, walled gardens and walking trails will be enhanced and improved. It is planned to provide an activity centre which will add an extensive range of pursuits available to guests during their stay, including falconry, archery and a children's activity zone.

Happy Birthday to us! The Luxury Hotel Insider turns 10 today. In Internet years, that's about 1,000. To put it into perspective, on October 7, 2005, Twitter was 17 months away from being invented, Pinterest had another 5 years to go before it started us all pinning, and Facebook was still called Thefacebook. George W. Bush had just started his second term in office, and the top TV shows were American Idol, CSI, and Survivor.
Here's to another 10 years of bringing you exclusive luxury hotel deals, features, and special rates from Five Star Alliance!

Anantara Joins the Elephant Parade
September 21, 2015
By: Five Star Alliance
Get ready for the stampede! Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas is partnering with Elephant Parade® and to bring the world's largest open air art exhibition, Elephant Parade, to Bangkok.
The exhibit's herd of almost one hundred 1.5 meter elephants will be exhibited as a herd in key locations throughout Bangkok, starting on 1st December 2015 and ending on January 29th 2016.
The first major Elephant Parade was held in Rotterdam in the Netherlands in 2007 and has since been exhibited in cities across the world including London, Singapore, Amsterdam, Milan, and Hong Kong. Elephant Parade Bangkok will be a first for Thailand.
Founder Marc Spits and his son Mike came up with the unique event after a visit to the Friends of the Asian Elephant hospital in Lampang, Thailand, which treats sick and injured elephants. During that visit, they fell for Mosha, a baby elephant who lost her leg after stepping on a landmine when only seven months old and was the first elephant to receive a prosthetic limb. Mosha gets a new leg every year, and each time must learn to walk all over again. Mosha features in each Elephant Parade exhibition and will have a specially Thai themed painted prosthetic leg for the Bangkok Parade.
Artists from all walks of life have designed elephants in support of elephant care and conservation. Famous supporters of Elephant Parade Bangkok include: Hangover 2 star Nirut Sirichanya; Furious 7 star Tony Jaa, designer Paul Smith, Top DJ Hardwell, and Thailand World beauty queen Sirinya Bishop.
In February 2016 a selection of elephants from the parade will be auctioned off at a charity gala dinner at Anantara Siam Bangkok. Proceeds from the dinner will benefit the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation. The foundation will find fund a range of sustainable programs that benefit the elephants of Thailand, including Wildlife Alliance, Freeland, WildAid, Think Elephants, and Thai Elephant Therapy Project.

My server is often almost DOS'ed by crawlers. I have not yet managed to figure out what exactly is responsible for the high load. CPU, memory and disk IO are not at the limit (could be network traffic). My question is, if anyone has an idea how to reserve capacity in the system to run a shell session (bash over ssh). Can this be done using cgroups? Right now load values easily go up to 60 and that make it hard to enter any command.
Something more basic: start
IF the problem is due to DOS throttling the network, then you have to use network-shaping rules outside the box (ie, on the switch).
