Courtious staff, clean and quiet hotel in a great location.
stayed for 2 nights hotel was clean and staff where friendly location close enough to the main streets but not too close would stay at the hotel again
central location, good breakfast, reliable WiFi
cramped room,
The breakfastroom was modern and there was a good selection for breakfast and it was tasty.
On arrival our room was not ready and very dirty and the interior was very old and could do with modernisation.
Warm welcome. Close to centre of Veurne. Luxury facilities. Good breakfast
Had a great and relaxing overnight stay.
Room space
noise of shower ventillation, no climatisation
pleasant atmosfere, nice personel, good breakfest
the bed was too small for our two, so we got a room with a greater bed
The management and staff were first rate and very hospitable. The breakfast was also very good.
The only negative comment was the wifi connection where we were on the 4th floor did not work for us.
Efficient and courteous receptionist. Good breakfast. Nice room.
View from bedroom onto courtside was not good but this was not the fault of the hotel. What could have been done to improve it was to remove cans and rubbish etc from the roof onto which the room overlloked.
Very comfortable and spacious room and beautifully tiled bathroom, all spotlessly clean. Very helpful owners in constant attendance in reception and serving breakfast which was excellent. Good central location. We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay and would highly recommend this hotel
No onsite parking, but that cannot be expected in most city centre hotels. The owners directed us to a free parking area only 12-15 minutes walk away which was perfectly acceptable, but paying parking was available much closer if desired
Nice, clean room. Comfy bed. Big bathroom. Friendly staff. OK breakfast. Parking nearby. Nice location. Simple, but worth the money.
The pool availability which is why we picked the hotel for our grandson having stayed there previously.
The lack of parking
I did not like fact that on the outside of the building it was advertised as the Oostende Hotel and there was no indication that it was the Royal Astor
A good tourist hotel with very pleasant and helpful staff.The meals were adequate and satisfactory.The room was very comfortable.
The weather!!!!
The location the friendly atmosphere breakfast was very good rooms warm and comfortable every facility easily accesible
The hotel bar closed early without any information
Really good bar with loads of ambience and friendly staff.
Room was a bit on the basic side, but for the price this was to be expected.
Stayed at the top of the hotel, bugger climbing those stairs, especially if you've had a few shandies. Couldn't really swing a cat in the room
good location friendly staff good sauna stones throw from beach and tram v good japanese restuarant opposite
A little pricey for a 3 star
Good location near the beaches; quiet.
Rooms are a bit small for 2 persons, beds are separate, mattresses a bit too soft.
The Customer Service, very friendly and helpful staff. The inclusive breakfast was great and kept me going to mid afternoon. The location is great. The price is very good and affordable.
Only saw one shower on the first floor, was expecting to see one on each floor, but didn't have to wait as no one else was using it, so can't complain.
The staff at this hotel are very friendly, the breakfast was continental and very nice.. wireless internet is by card and not too expensive.. I loved my stay - shops and local amenities are close by - leopald park is just around the corner.. lots to do see taste and in short fantastic value and would come here again :D
The toilet was small.. but nothing else was a problem, was a great hotel with great hotel staff

While American national security policy has grown more interventionist since the Cold War, Washington has also hoped to shape the world on the cheap. Misled by the stunning success against Iraq in 1991, administrations of both parties have pursued ambitious aims with limited force, committing the country's military frequently yet often hesitantly, with inconsistent justification. These ventures have produced strategic confusion, unplanned entanglements, and indecisive results. This collection of essays by Richard K. Betts, a leading international politics scholar, investigates the use of American force since the end of the Cold War, suggesting guidelines for making it more selective and successful.
Betts brings his extensive knowledge of twentieth century American diplomatic and military history to bear on the full range of theory and practice in national security, surveying the Cold War roots of recent initiatives and arguing that U.S. policy has always been more unilateral than liberal theorists claim. He exposes mistakes made by humanitarian interventions and peace operations; reviews the issues raised by terrorism and the use of modern nuclear, biological, and cyber weapons; evaluates the case for preventive war, which almost always proves wrong; weighs the lessons learned from campaigns in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam; assesses the rise of China and the resurgence of Russia; quells concerns about civil-military relations; exposes anomalies within recent defense budgets; and confronts the practical barriers to effective strategy. Betts ultimately argues for greater caution and restraint, while encouraging more decisive action when force is required, and he recommends a more dispassionate assessment of national security interests, even in the face of global instability and unfamiliar threats.

Letters: foreign policy, adoptions, openness and more
Debate about Hagel cues other concerns
Lee Galloway (Letters, Jan. 2; in response to "Against Hagel," Opinion, Dec. 29) is completely wrong when he claims that Israeli "settlements … are forever" and thus " … the most anti-peace action taken by any side." Galloway ignores the fact that Israel used massive police and military forces to uproot all Israeli settlements in Gaza and was repaid for this pro-peace effort with 10,000 mortar rounds and rockets aimed at civilian targets. Most people would call 10,000 high-explosive attempts to kill civilians a rather significant statement against a negotiated peace. – David G. Epstein, Rancho Bernardo

Rob Cohen's letter (Jan. 1) on Chuck Hagel's opinion on world affairs is biased against anyone but his liberal, Democrat attitude. His is toward the present huge problems facing our nation and the world.
One does not have to be a Republican to seriously take care of the politics so prevalent by our elected milquetoast leaders. Showing "toughness" would be much better in politics of the world, and America. Giving away the store and satisfying everyone just because we should has led us down the path we are creating for ourselves. We need our society back, not "new world disorder." Take care of our young people, give them an education our country deserves. Bring back our jobs and corporations. – Jack Dawes, Mira Mesa
Adoptions and issues
Mr. Fred Hahn (Letters, Jan. 2) is missing the point regarding the adoption of Russian babies. There are plenty of American orphans that desperately need families and the majority happen to be from races other than Caucasian, which seems to be in higher demand. The folks I know that have spent tens of thousands of dollars and multiple trips to Russia to be vetted as worthy parents were specifically looking for babies that most closely matched their ethnicity (Caucasian). – Ginger Robyn, Solana Beach
Fred E. Hahn states "much of this foreign adoption craze stems from bragging rights; the 'I got my kid from Ethiopia'" – in inane statement if I ever heard one! I have friends who have adopted from Korea, China, Russia, Romania AND the U.S. since 1980 (craze?).
My granddaughter was adopted from Ethiopia ('07) because, No. 1, while the process took over a year, adoption in the U.S. takes several years; No. 2, most of our "millions of out-of-wedlock births" are not up for adoption at any price; and No. 3, the future of every child in an Ethiopian orphanage is bleak!
My heart goes out to the 50+ people who will now not be able to complete the adoptions they were expecting. – Rae Ellen Holman, Borrego Springs
Still in the dark
In response to "Filner slow to identify new staff and salaries" (Local reports, Dec. 29): You expect waste and cronyism and blatant rewards for union hacks within the Proud Party of Poverty, the DNC – even now, when, due to incompetence from a liberal Legislature, the state is on the brink of bankruptcy. But Filner's appointment of Frye to the inane position of "director of governmental openness" is akin to the Scots in "Braveheart" lifting their kilts and showing their backsides to the opposition.
There is no shortage of those in government, assuredly, but in the atmosphere of openness, taxpayers must know the duties (if any) and salary of this new position so they can make more intelligent choices in elections to come. – Steve Bennett, Julian
Regarding your Saturday (Dec. 29) article by Craig Gustafson about Mayor Filner being slow to disclose staff and salaries. Given his promise of a transparent government if, by Jan. 2 or 3, the U-T does not have this requested information then this article should be featured prominently on the front page. Give his office a heads-up as an incentive.
This is no way to start off his new administration. – Sherman Blench, Escondido
Questions of integrity
In response to "Hanson-Cox donation returns weighed" (Local, Dec. 31): Whichever chairman of the selection committee [East County Chamber of Commerce] CEO Scott Alevy is referring to is nuts. "He stated very simply the answer is no." What bad judgment on the chamber's part to leave Hanson-Cox in with a distinguished alumni of honorees. She won in the year she used the most of her stolen money to polish her image. A direct link.
C'mon, chamber. Do the right thing and revoke her award. Hey, why not reissue it to the company's owners? After all, it was their money. – Steve Hinton, El Cajon
The optimist would say it is reassuring that there are three ethical citizens in San Diego County. The pessimist would say that they must not be from here.
Greg Brown of East County Posse and Mark Klaus of Home of Guiding Hands demonstrate an understanding of ethics. SDSU professor Bill Sannwald gets an "A" for teaching the difference between right and wrong ("Hanson-Cox donation returns weighed," Local, Dec. 31).
Jillian Hanson-Cox stole a massive sum of money from a family business, Century Design of Kearny Mesa. This was not a one-time, impetuous decision. It was a ruthless, calculated and, to the business owners, devastating crime. This was not an act of a modern-day Robin Hood. At the bottom of Hanson-Cox' criminal activity is pure greed.
According to U-T reports, "Her giving won her numerous admirers throughout the county." Philanthropists who anonymously donate their own money to charity deserve our admiration. Those who donate in part to feed their egos deserve appropriate credit as well. Those who donate stolen money to feed massive ego needs deserve to go to jail.
Hanson-Cox gave some of the stolen money to "innocent" nonprofit organizations. Some may return the money, some may not. Greg, Mark and Bill get it. They believe that the money should be returned.
For the recipients of the stolen money, this is not an issue of their guilt or innocence, as Jill Fleming suggests. It is an issue of their character, honesty and ethical business practices. They received stolen money. What are they going to do with it? It's as simple as that.
Hanson-Cox received an award from the East County Chamber of Commerce in 2007. The chairman of the selection committee appears to be in no mood to revoke the award. Let's be honest, an award from the ECCC is no Nobel Prize. It may not be worth the cost of the parchment, which I suspect Hanson-Cox paid for, that it's printed on.
Let Hanson-Cox keep the award. And may her glamour photo hang in the hallowed halls of the ECCC for eternity. – Roy Winter, Escondido
Coming to terms
After trying to sort out the terminology used in the state's history of immigration debates as outlined in the article "A bold move by UC" (Opinion, Dec. 30). I came to appreciate the special scholarship fund established by UC for illegal, unauthorized or undocumented residents. The question is why poor documented foreign students outside the designated 20 countries are not eligible? – Ki Cheung, La Jolla
Let the learning flow
Congratulations to Mr. Noah Thoron ("Teen Coastkeeper volunteer working up water wizardry," Local, Jan. 1). Best article in the paper today. May it be a harbinger of things to come in this New Year. We can all hope, can't we? – Dennis Schnelzer, La Mesa
Thank you so much for printing this story about Noah Thoron! Noah is leading us to a promising future. – Robert Burns, Ocean Beach
Guerrilla gardening risky
The article about guerrilla gardening by Marty Ross in Saturday's U-T ("Exerting flower power," Home & Garden, Dec. 29) was interesting, but I fear it may have unintended consequences.
Ross makes tossing seeds into a "bare or neglected public or quasi-public space" sound like a harmless and even beneficial amusement, which may be annoying only to "an unimaginative landscape maintenance crew." There surely are places where guerrilla gardening might be harmless. But in San Diego, we would do better to discourage planting anything other than native plants in our canyons and other natural areas. Many alien invasives are attractive plants, but are worthless to wildlife and may overwhelm habitats of native plants. Alien invasive grasses can even increase fire danger. The California Native Plant Society and other groups have been working hard to reduce invasives, especially in our canyons.
I myself have watched a person take a piece of a pretty plant in her garden and toss it over the fence into a canyon so that it would grow there. It was red valerian, one of the worst offenders. Please be aware that tossing a seed bomb helter-skelter can be a very bad idea. This kind of bomb can be very destructive indeed. – Betsy Cory, Chula Vista
Ba-Da Bing Dept.
So the 86-year-old Hugh Hefner is married once again, this time to a 26-year-old former "Playmate of the Month." ("Hefner finally weds former San Diegan," People, Jan. 2.) Where do they plan to honeymoon – at Viagra Falls? – Whit Whitlock, El Cajon

I have upgraded several client sites to WP 3.3.1. On both sites the Subscribe to Comments Reloaded no longer sends emails. Any help would be appreciated.
I have upgraded several client sites to WP 3.3.1. On both sites the Subscribe to Comments Reloaded no longer sends emails. Any help would be appreciated.
It could be related to a bug in the plugin that causes PHP Mailer to discard those emails thinking they are spam. I already have that on my todo list.
Any news on this? I think I'm having the same problem.
I stand corrected! It does work, forgot to check the junk mail folder!
I am having the same Problem
Boris, as you can see, it works for other users, so it must be something related to your specific environment. Maybe a conflict with another plugin?
Same Problem. I am, using 3.3.2 version of WP. My junk/spam mail is empty, checked several times.
Can't find any subscribe to comments plugin that will work for me
but this plugin is the best among subscribe plugins wish could use it
but it DOES work if email is sending to user who subscribed WITHOUT commenting.
I found a solution empirically. Searched in the internet for this problem it's not very common: most problems with sending emails are solved by reseting spam filters or solving hosting problems but not mine.
Besides, it works well (sending email) if user subscribes without commenting, that's strange too, so i thought problem is not with plugin itself.
So i thought of the conflict with wordpress comment management system.
when you recieve comment and the system asks you to apрrove it. DON'T use APPROVE&ANSWER button (don't know how this button is called exaсtly in English - have russian version of WP, but i think you understand what i mean)
It worked well for me using WP 3.3.2

Du Plessis made a name for himself earlier this week when he
batted for seven-and-a-half hours to help South Africa
achieve an epic draw in the second test against Australia in
Sri Lanka, who started the day at 47 for four, still have
some way to go to replicate that but moved through to 107-5
at lunch on the final day.
The Black Caps made one significant breakthrough in their
search for a rare test win after five consecutive defeats,
when Thilan Samaraweera was needlessly run out for seven.
Samaraweera, who boasts an average of close to 51, prodded a
Doug Bracewell delivery wide of Jeetan Patel at cover and set
off for what would have been a comfortable single, only for
Angelo Mathews to stand his ground and leave Samaraweera well
short of his crease.
It was a crucial wicket, meaning New Zealand were closer to
getting into Sri Lanka's tail. But they were frustrated
throughout the remainder of the session as Mathews (27 not
out) and Prasanna Jayawardene (23 not out) tackled their work
with a mixture of belligerence and occasional aggression on
the docile pitch.
It was largely slow-going, with Sri Lanka batting at a
run-rate of just 1.8 for the session, but run rate is far
from their minds as they battle for survival.

Clarify the use of AbstractBaseUser.REQUIRED_FIELDS

In settings.py
AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'core.User'
When manage.py syncdb is called, the Superuser creation wizard properly asks for first name, last name and email, in addition to username and password.
However, when creating a User in the admin interface, the fields first name, last name and email address can be left blank. Should this be the case, or is it a bug?

- Easy pickings set
- Needs documentation unset
- Needs tests unset
- Patch needs improvement unset
- Summary changed from Overriding User::REQUIRED_FIELDS works for creating su, but not in admin site to Clarify the use of AbstractBaseUser.REQUIRED_FIELDS
- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
- Type changed from Bug to Cleanup/optimization
I think this is not a bug but rather a documentation issue.
Putting a field in REQUIRED_FIELDS only makes it so that createsuperuser prompts for a value. Empty values may still be accepted, depending on the value of the field's blank attribute.
With your example, this means that you can still create a user with an empty first name when using createsuperuser.
Also note that, as the documentation mentions [1], REQUIRED_FIELDS is only used for the createsuperuser management command and has no effect on other parts of Django (like the admin).
[1] https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/customizing/#django.contrib.auth.models.CustomUser.REQUIRED_FIELDS
comment:2 Changed 3 years ago by wim@…
Hi Baptiste,
What do you think? When you define REQUIRED_FIELDS and are indeed required to supply them when using createsuperuser, will it not be a common case to require them as well when creating a user in another way?
If not, I find REQUIRED_FIELDS inappropriately named. Maybe we should rename it to SUPERUSER_REQUIRED_FIELDS?
What are your thoughts?
comment:3 Changed 3 years ago by russellm
I completely disagree that renaming the setting is worthwhile. For one thing, the code is out in the wild, so there's a backwards incompatibility issue; secondly, changing the name is a bike shed - whatever the name is, *someone* is going to be confused by it.
If we were going to do anything about REQUIRED_FIELDS, it would be to remove it entirely; see #19901 and #19402. However, these tickets both indicate the difficulty involved.

Ethics questions arise over local board appointees
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2008 at 11:26 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2008 at 12:44 p.m.
HOUMA -- Some appointed board members may be serving in violation of state ethics law, Terrebonne Parish officials admit, but its a possibility not all want to investigate.
For several years, the parish has incorrectly outlined state law on the application for prospective members of the 40 or so local boards and commissions that oversee services like fire protection, recreation, the Houma airports operations or commercial and residential development.
The application has allowed appointees or immediate family members to have up to a 25 percent interest in companies that could economically benefit from actions of the appointees board or agency.
But state ethics law does not clearly define how much ownership or interest is allowed for appointed board and commission members. It more broadly says that an appointee or immediate family members cannot have a substantial economic interest in a company that could be involved in transactions with the appointees board.
To fix the mistake, the Terrebonne Parish Council voted 8-0 Monday to align the local policy with state law and correct its applications. Councilman Peter Rhodes did not attend the meeting because of a previously scheduled family event.
The application was drafted during former Parish President Bobby Bergerons term, from 2000 to 2004, said Council Clerk Paul Labat.
Unlike the parishs application, state ethics law says an appointed board member cannot have a "substantial economic interest" in a legal entity that is involved in transactions under the supervision or jurisdiction of the persons board.
What is considered substantial economic interest is unclear, however.
State law defines it as having a greater benefit to the person than to a general class or group of people, said Kathleen Allen, the Ethics Boards acting director.
"Thats a general definition," Allen said. "Its fact specific. You have to look at an individual situation to know if theres a substantial economic interest."
The Louisiana Board of Ethics makes that call, giving advisory opinions to public officials seeking advice.
One advisory opinion, given in 2006, addresses concerns about a Harahan Planning and Zoning Commission member who was also a stockholder of a golf and country club. The man was one of 137 stockholders in the club. The Ethics Board decided that he could not serve on the commission, however, if the club was involved in matters that came before the public board, such as subdivisions or land-use actions.
All public officials should seek the Ethics Boards advice before taking office if they have an interest in a company, Allen said.
If a current official is already violating the law, the Ethics Board goes through a more rigorous process.
First, someone must file a complaint. Then ethics officials investigate to determine if a violation occurred. If one is found, civil charges can be pressed, fines can be charged or a public hearing on civil charges can commence.
Parish officials decided to review the parishs policy after local developer Ronnie Shaw pointed out the discrepancy between state and local rules for appointed boards and commissions.
Shaw publicly accused Parish Manager Barry Blackwell of acting unethically in connection with property Blackwell owns. Shaw said he made the discovery via a public-records request for information on Blackwells business partner, Houma businessman Henry Richard. Richard recently stepped down as board president of the Terrebonne Economic Development Authority. The Parish Council appointed him to that panel.
Neither Shaw, Blackwell nor Richard were at Mondays council meeting.
Ethics violations may have occurred for some local appointments because of the application mistake, some Parish Council members admitted. But not all officials said they believe board members should be reviewed.
Councilwoman Arlanda Williams, chairwoman of the councils Policy, Procedure and Legal Committee, said it would be worthwhile to look over current boards and commissions memberships.
"If it was brought to the attention (of the council), theres always the possibility that there may be some that are in violation of that particular rule," Williams said. "Since we have amended the rule to make it comparable to the state, it would be something our legal department should look into just to make sure."
However, Williams said, she doesnt believe there are any violations.
Council Chairman Alvin Tillman agreed that he doesnt believe anyone is in violation, but he also said people need to adhere to the parishs corrected policy.
Asked if he believes the parish should look into whether current members are in violation, Tillman said "Ill hold my comment on that."
The parish government doesnt plan to review business interests for current board and commission members, said Parish Attorney Courtney Alcock. If anyone has a conflict, theyre expected to report it.
Local appointees go through training to learn state ethics law, she added.
"All the boards are aware they have to comply with the ethics code," Alcock said. "We dont really monitor the boards; theyre self monitored."
Currently, when someone seeks appointment to a board or commission, he or she must fill out an application with the parish government and submit a resume.
No other checks are conducted to see if a person complies with the state ethics code. Neither appointed nor local elected officials currently have to file financial-disclosure forms.
Last year, the state Legislature nearly passed a law that would have required local elected officials to disclose their incomes with the state, but legislators could not reach a compromise on the bill before the session ended.
State Sen. Reggie Dupre, D-Bourg, said he supports requiring such disclosures for local elected officials first and would later hold appointed officials to the same standards.
So many people serve on appointed boards throughout the state, trying to oversee the thousands of people would be nearly unmanageable, Dupre said.
The state ethics law currently has different requirements for different types of public officials. Elected officials and public employees cannot have a controlling interest, or more than 25 percent, in a company.
The idea is that appointees are volunteers who can easily step down from their seats, unlike elected officials or public employees, who would be resigning a job, said Parish Attorney Courtney Alcock.
In a phone interview, Shaw disagreed with the rule allowing elected officials and public employees to own up to 25 percent interest in businesses that could be affected by their public service.
"If they do this, shouldnt it apply to public servants?" Shaw asked, referring to all types of public servants relinquishing economic ties while in office.

Amazon.com Review
A slightly forbidding introduction to a book, but indicative of its author's disgust at the homogenized McWorld in which we live, and an enticing challenge to read on. As the title The Twilight of American Culture suggests, Morris Berman's outlook is somewhat bleak. Analogizing the contemporary United States to the late Roman Empire, Berman sees a nation fat on useless consumption, saturated with corporate ideology, and politically, psychically, and culturally dulled. But he believes that this behemoth--what Thomas Frank called the "multinational entertainment oligopoly"--must buckle under its own weight. His hope for a brighter tomorrow lies in a modern monastic movement, in which keepers of the enlightenment flame resist the constant barrage of "spin and hype." Ironically, despite his disdain for "the fashionable patois of postmodernism," he approvingly quotes poststructuralist theorist Jean-François Lyotard's maxim "elitism for everybody" in describing this cadre of idiosyncratic, literate devotees, these new monks.
Berman is plainspoken and occasionally caustic. The Twilight of American Culture is an informed and thought-provoking book, a wake-up call to a nation whose powerful minority has become increasingly self-satisfied as their stock options ripen, while an underclass that vastly outnumbers the e-generation withers on the vine and cannot locate itself on any map. It is a quick and savage read that aims to get your eyes off this computer, your nose out of that self-help book, and send you back to thought and action. --J.R. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Yes, you can have that experience in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (JED). The new airport is still under construction and most of the old airport uses stairs to board until now!

As far as I'm aware, at time of writing the only airlines that currently operate both the 787 and the A380 are British Airways and China Southern Airlines, although Etihad will be joining this rather exclusive club by the end of the year, and Korean Air, Singapore Airlines and Virgin Atlantic have all placed firm orders for both. That said, the obvious ...
This is going to vary strongly from carrier to carrier because as far as I can tell what really matters is how long it's been since the interiors were refurbished (a process airlines do one plane model at a time) and whether the route is considered important by the airline.

Personally, I wouldn't base my decision based on A330 vs 777 but on the Carrier's service and reputation, and their in-flight entertainment offering.

MEXICO CITY -- A spokesman for the Mexican bishops' conference confirmed details of Pope Benedict XVI's upcoming visit to Mexico originally published by the newspaper Reforma, which reported the papal visit would occur March 23-26.
The spokesman, Father Manuel Corral, stressed that details of the visit "are not official," although he said the pope would only visit the state of Guanajuato and its environs in west-central Mexico. Father Corral said specific details of the visit would likely be made public before the end of the year.
Reforma, citing comments from the president of the bishops' conference, Archbishop Carlos Aguiar Retes of Tlalnepantla, reported that Pope Benedict would celebrate Mass March 25 at the Parque Guanajuato Bicentenario in Silao, near the city of Leon and 220 miles northwest of Mexico City.
Attention, college seniors and recent grads! NCR's Bertelsen Editorial Internship program is now accepting applications. The deadline to apply is Sept. 2. Learn more.
Pope Benedict also is expected to visit Cuba during his trip, the first to both countries since he was elected in 2005.

I have 5 methods
Move(), TurnRight(), TurnLeft(), Accelerate(), Decelerate()
I have 5 buttons on my windows form called:
Move, Turn Right, Turn Left, Accelerate, Decelerate
How do take values entered from texboxes and store them, so that when a user clicks one of those buttons it calls the method to perform calculations, and then display the information.
I just don't know how or what to code inside the event that I activated from the form. Can anyone show me a sample of how they would do it?
Here is my move method
public void move() { double radians = direction * Math.PI / 180;
//change the x location by the x vector of the speed
X_Coordinate += (int)(speed * Math.Cos(radians));
//change the y location by the y vectior of the speed
Y_Coordinate -= (int)(speed * Math.Sin(radians));
I created a button on my form and named it btnMove
What should I code inside the event for my move button to call the move method and the display that for an outcome?

NASA is not doing a good job managing its mobile devices, according to a new report authored by NASA Inspector General Paul Martin.
The space agency's mismanagement of its 16,900 agency-issued tablets, smartphones, cell phones and AirCards came with a hefty price tag for taxpayers in 2013. About 2,300, or 14 percent of all agency-issued devices, went unused for seven months while costing taxpayers $679,000, according to the report.
The report attributes the waste to "weaknesses in NASA's mobile device management practices," primarily its lack of a "complete and accurate inventory of agency-issued mobile devices." The IG explains that the information system NASA uses to order mobile devices from its primary IT contractor, HP Enterprise Services, "Is not fully functional or integrated with the database the agency uses to track IT assets."
This is the second time in as many months that significant IT issues have surfaced between NASA and HP Enterprise Services.
In January, the NASA IG released a report outlining "significant problems" in its $2.5 billion Agency Consolidated End-User Services (ACES) contract with HP Enterprise Services, which is expected to provide NASA with desktops, laptops, mobile devices, computer equipment and end-user services. The report came midway through the contract's four-year base period, and NASA officials said it was still evaluating whether to exercise the contract's option. When reached by FCW, a NASA official said the agency had no further comment on whether it would exercise the option.
With regards to the poor mobile-device management, the IG puts the blame on both parties.
"Neither NASA nor HP has an accurate inventory of Agency-issued mobile devices. NASA officials admitted they had no authoritative database of these devices and were not confident that HP could accurately account for the full inventory of mobile devices it provides to the Agency," the new report states. "The lack of a complete inventory adversely affects NASA's ability to verify the accuracy and completeness of ACES invoices and leaves the Agency susceptible to paying erroneous or excessive charges."
In its latest report, the IG also found that NASA has significant information security risks to address. The agency improved the secure means by which its mobile devices connected to NASA email systems in 2013, but with locations around the country, NASA still has vulnerabilities across its multitude of networks, including the wireless local networks at its centers.
Not surprisingly, the IG recommended NASA improve its methods for tracking agency-issued mobile devices and that the agency implement a centralized mobile device management capability. NASA CIO Larry Sweet, in the process of trying to centralize his authority over NASA's IT spending, signed off on both recommendations.

Yeshiva University Housing
Your Yeshiva University housing options are as far-flung as the Yeshiva campus itself. Yeshiva University is the country's oldest and, perhaps, most prestigious institution that emphasizes both traditional Jewish scholarship with contemporary undergraduate and graduate studies in the fields as the liberal arts, medicine, law, psychology, the sciences, social work and business.
As Yeshiva University has grown over the last century, the campus has spread throughout three boroughs (and, by the way, to Israel), and so the availability and whereabouts of your Yeshiva housing depends almost entirely on which of the university's schools you are attending.
Yeshiva on-campus housing is most abundant on the Wilf Campus in the Washington Heights neighborhood in Manhattan, home to the undergraduate schools for men as well as the rabbinical seminary and the graduate schools for social work, Jewish music, Jewish education and administration, among others, and considered to be the university's main campus. There are four Yeshiva dormitories on the Wilf Campus, serving the various schools and level of study.
Yeshiva housing is also available at the university's two other Manhattan campuses. The Beren Campus in the Murray Hill neighborhood also has four Yeshiva dormitories, located within seven or so blocks of each other, constructed and maintained to serve students of the undergraduate schools for women.
The Brookdale Center in Greenwich Village, right near Union Square, also has Yeshiva housing for law students at the renowned Benjamin Cardozo School of Law. Finally, the Resnick Campus, in the Morris Park community of the Bronx, offers housing for students of the Albert Einstein School of Medicine and the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology.
Yeshiva Off Campus Housing
Yeshiva off-campus housing can be found with the help of the university's Student Affairs office, as well as through real restate websites such as Urban Edge, where we only post listings of NYC no-fee rental apartments that are offered directly by the owner. By not going through a real estate broker to find your Yeshiva off-campus housing, you can save literally thousands of dollars in brokers' fees.
As far as location goes for your Yeshiva off-campus housing, your ideal neighborhood will be determined in large measure by the school, and campus, you attend. For those sat the Wilf campus, anywhere from the Upper West Side, through Manhattan Valley and Hamilton Heights, and on past Washington Heights and into Inwood will make for a simple commute to school. The Beren Campus is actually located within one the most reasonably-priced neighborhoods in Manhattan (by Manhattan standards, that is), Murray Hill, but anywhere on the 4, 5, or 6 subway line is worth exploring.

Released: Jul 01st, 2004
Running Time: 90
Director: Nicholas Steele
Company: Ultimate Pictures
Distribution Companies: Adam & Eve Pictures
Cast: Natalie Wood, Amber Rain (I), Joey Ray, Lauren Phoenix, Dani Woodward, Brooke (I), Cheyne Collins, Domenica Leoni, Billy Glide, Steven St. Croix, Lee Stone
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Couples-friendly sex with excellent production values should move this one off shelves.
Code Blue is the uncomplicated tale of a day at the fire station, with crew and paramedics dealing with emergencies and their own sometimes-battered love lives - like, for instance, Steven St. Croix's, whose girlfriend of seven years (Natalie Wood, looking much like the mainstream star of the same name) was recently killed, and even though nurse Lauren Phoenix wants to help soothe the hurt, he isn't yet ready to commit.
Brooke and Lee Stone don't have that problem, however, and they're ready to snatch horsie and reverse cowgirl action on the firehouse floor whenever nobody else is around.
Cheyne Collins is the new guy, but that doesn't stop Domenica Leoni, whose life he saved, from paying him back with some anal mish. But frankly, this feature has saved the best for last, with fire chief Joey Ray getting shown kindness by wife Dani Woodward with two long cowgirl positions.
This is an exceptionally well-made production that simply doesn't strike sparks.

Lamp prototype B by diana-irimieWatch

One of my university projects for the first semester of the second year.
Fully functional lamp prototype almost entirely made of paper.
Fully functional lamp prototype almost entirely made of paper.
I want to buy this
I'm glad you like it! Unfortunately it is not for sale, it was a project for university that I made 4 years ago, so this was just basically a prototype.
This makes me think of the Marker from the Dead Space games, good job!
searched it, i can see the resemblance! it's quite cool. heard of the game but didn't really know details.
Yeah, all 3 games are really awesome. I usually dont like to compare things to video game stuff, but I couldnt help it considering it was SO close to it . Also my Husband finished beating the 3rd one just a few weeks ago.
haha, well i think i also know from my boyfriend, he does play quite a few games and i sometimes do seek inspiration in them, but this lamp just did not have any, only the idea of something inspired by leafs, reptiles and maybe alien structures.

"Home of the Fremantle Doctor" Fremantle by Alex-Perth
Fremantle Travel Guide: 556 reviews and 1,249 photos
No trip to Peth is complete without a visit to the bustling port city of Femantle. But there is more to do in Fremantle than hang out in the famous Cappuccino Strip or The Fishing Boat Harbour.
My favourite hang out on the Cappuccino Strip is Gino's for breakfast or coffee, you have to grab a table quick because they get snapped up.
While you sit under one of the bright coloured umbrellas be entertained by people watching as well as the assortment of motor vehicles and motorbikes that seems to add to the fascination of the strip.
Then make sure you visit a microbrewery. The Little Creatures Brewery which overlooks Fishing Boat Harbour is a great way to being with a cleansing ale or three. (We had a VT meet here for dswede)
Also along the strip you will find almost anything you like to eat, ranging from pizzas to hamburgers, fish & Chips, Gelati...
Fremantle has great shopping and the shops are open seven days a week. The Fremantle Markets are open Friday to Sunday and sell everything from Fresh Fruit & Vegetables, lollies, food, clothing, knick knaks and Antiques.
There is always a street performer near the main entrance between the markets and Sail & Anchor Hotel.
If you're interested in motor vehicles you can't go past the Motor Museum. located near the Maritime Museum, you can be fascinated with an assortment of historic racers, James Bond Aston Martins, motorbikes and a jeep from the Vietnam War.
At the Maritime Museum, some call it the upside down boat... You can marvel at the winged keel from the famous America's Cup winner Australia II, there is even a submarine you can go and check out.
If you are interested in more maritime history make your way to the Shipwreck Galleries on Cliff Street. The foremost maritime archaeology museum in the entire Southern Hemispher. Here you can read the story of Shipwrecks such as the Dutch ship Batavia, wrecked in 1629.
If you want to uncover Western Australia's convict past, head on down to Fremantle Prison on The Terrace. Open to the public 7 days a week from 10.00am until 5.00pm Fremantle Prison is one of Australia's most important convict sites. Still intact today, it was built by convicts, for convicts and continuously used as a prison until 1991.
The Prison has become a significant attraction since opening to the public in 1992. Visitors can choose to sample the Prison?s vivid cultural history with the interactive visitor centre.
Take a guided tour of the Prison during the day or for a different perspective a candlelight tour. Candlelight tours are available on Wednesday and Friday evenings and have a few surprises along the way to add to the atmosphere. So if you scare easily make sure you have someone you can hold on to!!!
The Prison is also popular with corporate and community groups that stage a wide range of events, from cocktail parties, fully catered dinners and jailhouse rock to exhibitions and conferences.
I even did my Art Class Diploma here on Tuesday nights.
For more convict history, visit the Round House at Arthur Head - an old stone building with eight cells and a jailers residence.
- Pros:Maritime History, Markets, Beer Drinking and Cafes
- Cons:Can be noisy with the procession of vehicles

Never too late: Declaration of Independence signers being honored
Jim Cole, Associated Press
CONCORD, N.H. — It's William Whipple's turn to be recognized.
The New Hampshire merchant is one of the lesser-known signers of the Declaration of Independence. This year, there are plans for Whipple and 11 others to be honored for their place in history with a small bronze plaque at their gravesites or homes, thanks to a group of descendants of the Founding Fathers.
Whipple, one of three men from New Hampshire who signed the famous document — the others were Josiah Bartlett and Matthew Thornton — had no direct descendants. His only child, a boy, died as an infant and is buried near him at the Old North Cemetery in Portsmouth. Whipple, who also commanded troops during the Revolutionary War and served as a state judge and legislator, died in 1785 at age 55.
It's about time he was honored, said Blaine Whipple in Portland, Ore., a distant relative who has researched and published several volumes on 15 generations of the Whipple family in America.
"He was one of the workhorses of the Continental Congress," Whipple said. "He's never been given the credits that he earned." Whipple was chairman of the marine, foreign relations and quartermaster committees and served on another committee that gathered intelligence on the British, he said.
Whipple's gravesite mentions he was a member of the Continental Congress when America declared its freedom from Great Britain, but doesn't spell out his famous moment in time. The 104-year-old Society of the Descendants of the Declaration of Independence wants to change that for Whipple and the other signers, "to honor their memory and their great deed."
"We try to do as many as we can, but it's a long process," said Grace Staller of West Chester, Pa., who heads the project for the nonprofit group. She's a ninth-generation descendant of signer John Hart from New Jersey, whose plaque is at the Old Baptist Meeting House in Hopewell.
The Portsmouth City Council recently approved the request. The city owns the cemetery.
Other plaque recipients — some better known than others — this year are John Adams, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and Robert Treat Paine, Massachusetts; Charles Carroll, Maryland; Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Nelson, Virginia; Thomas Lynch and Arthur Middleton, South Carolina; James Smith, Pennsylvania; and Richard Stockton, New Jersey.
Some of the 56 signers, like Whipple, have no direct descendants. For others, it's not clear where they're buried. Some cemeteries don't allow the plaques. In addition to the 45 who will end up with plaques, there are 11 signers who won't be getting them; they will be honored at the historic Congressional Cemetery in Washington.
The bronze plaque quotes from the last sentence of the 1776 document, saying for the support of the declaration, "we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor."
"I've always been proud to be related to a signer of the Declaration of Independence. It's almost like a royal family," said Jeffrey Saurman of Portsmouth, a direct descendant of Thornton, whose memorial in Merrimack received one of the plaques last August. He said he was happy to share the moment with his children.
His son Josh, he said, recently completed a report on Thornton, a doctor, state representative and judge, for his sixth-grade class. The youngster took a photo of himself in period clothes next to a portrait of Thornton. "You could see some resemblance," his father said.
Saurman, who works at a family plumbing and heating business, said he was shocked and surprised that the plaques hadn't been made years earlier. "You would think something like that would've already been done."

Delicicous! I loved all the veggies! I had it on toast. I quartered the recipe, and it was great. Thanks!
The title says it all! Best Damn Guac Ever! I was hesitant at first about putting in the diced apple, but it came out oh so yummy! Very flavorful and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. I had many requests for this recipe by the end of the night! Well worth the extra time put into making it.

I recently saw someone refer to Michele Bachmann as Michele Botchman [emphasis added] and was wondering what the term for such a parody name would be? Obviously it was intended as pejorative, so I'm not sure if "parody name" is specific enough.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The term dysphemism seems appropriate:
Politicians brand themselves to generate pleasant feelings among voters, but these monikers are floated to defame them with a sense of contempt, as the specific meanings of the prefix and root imply:
I can also recommend the portmanteau neologism slurbriquet.
Combining slur:
and sobriquet:
Michelle Bachmann's opponents have adopted a convenient slurbriquet: Botchmann to emphasize her bungling attempts to articulate unpopular positions.
No special name that I know of, no. However, this is the sort of concept that would normally be expressed by a noun compound, and Pejorative Parody Name is a good descriptive choice. If you're thinking about using it, though, you'll still have to give examples to people who've never heard or thought of it before.
Pejorative Parody Name also has the benefit, with increasing familiarity and use, of being recursively shortenable all the way to the TLA PPN (being a TLA is the true mark of acceptance by Norma Loquendi, who also likes OCS a lot), with interesting stop along the abbreviation route for creation of terms like PP Name (which has an interesting sound to it). Etc.
It might well catch on. On the other hand, so might Michelle Bachmann. It's happened before.
The phrase that I see commonly is "deliberate misnaming".¹ It seems to cover intentional slurs by misspelling, such as "M$" for "Microsoft" or "Democrat Party" for "Democratic Party".
This is a type of malapropism:
It Bachmann's case, it stemmed from an incident where she mispronounced chutzpah as choot-spah, leading some to observe:
Derogatory nickname (two words) or epithet might work, but they are not necessarily variations of the original name being made fun of, and epithets are not necessarily abusive.
Name squib might be an appropriate term. Among definitions of squib are "petty lampoon", "political joke, printed and circulated at election times against a candidate, with intent of bringing him into ridicule, and influencing votes", and "small satirical or political temporary jeu d'esprit, which, like the firework of that denomination, sparkles, bounces, stinks, and vanishes".
Also note that while caricature typically means "A pictorial representation of someone in which distinguishing features are exaggerated for comic effect" it also has the meaning "A grotesque misrepresentation", so one could refer to name caricatures.
