In need of parental teaching
I have a friend who asked my help. Her baby is 2 weeks now, but her baby still does not know how to suck his mouth to her mothers breast for breastfeeding. My friend asked me but I dont know what to tell her thats why I also seek your help so that when Im the one who encounters that problem I would be able to solve and know what to do. I hope you can give me advice with this. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Thank you for posting this question and helping to support your friend to breastfeed.
As your friend is probably already aware, breastfeeding gives great benefits to mum and baby including: reducing risk of suffering from childhood infections, reduced chance of childhood obesity, reduced risk of mum suffering from Ovarian Cancer and Breast Cancer, less colic, improved social and educational development for the child, and so the list goes on. However, although it is the most natural way of feeding your baby it often takes a while for mum and baby to get the hang of it. Being natural does not mean it is easy at first.
One of the most important factors to enable a mum to breastfeed successfully is getting the latch right. The latch is the way that the baby attaches, and is attached, to the breast. Your baby needs to get a good mouthful of breast to enable them to feed properly. If they are not latched on properly and are, for example, just sucking from the nipple then they will not be able to efficiently remove milk from the breast and it will also become very painful for the mum. Is your friend finding it painful to breastfeed? This is an indicator that the latch is not correct.
I would strongly advise your friend to seek the services of a Lactation Consultant. This specially trained individual can have a look at the latch and watch your friend breastfeeding and help her to get the latch just right. When the latch is right it is extremely likely that the baby will be able to feed successfully.
Here is a latching on checklist for your friend to check she is getting a good latch. This states that signs of a good latch are (and I quote):
- Short, chopping jaw motions to start the milk, then…
- Slow, deep, steady jaw motions, about 1 per second.
- Jaw hesitation or "hic" sound when baby swallows, usually with every 1-3 jaw strokes.
- Occasional rests or return to short strokes, followed by more deep, steady strokes
When I was getting started on my breastfeeding journey I found the videos by Dr. Jack Newman such as this excellent for helping me to learn how to help my baby to latch on properly.
These drawings by the International Breastfeeding Centre on getting a good latch are also excellent.
It is best to breastfeed your baby on demand day and night i.e. offer them the breast whenever they may want feeding. Some newborn babies feed every 2 hours and some cluster feed (i.e. take one feed followed by another) in the evenings. Breastmilk is produced on demand so if you feed your baby whenever they want milk then your body will produce all the milk that your baby needs. Less than 4% of women are not physically able to produce enough breastmilk for their baby if they feed on demand and have a good latch.
Can you give us some further details about your friend's difficulties with breastfeeding so that we can help her further?
I would also advise your friend to get in touch with her midwife/ health visitor straight away and they will also be able to help her with getting a good latch and position when breastfeeding. I would say to your friend; please, please, please do not suffer alone. There is so much help out there in the form of health professionals and support groups. I know it can be incredibly hard and upsetting when you are struggling to breastfeed your baby; lots of us need some more help and support to enable us to do this. La Leche League is a super place to start for additional support. My local breastfeeding peer support group has also been invaluable.
Dr. Seers also has some great breastfeeding resources on his attachment parenting website. Indeed, Dr. Seers writes:
'Breastfeeding does not come naturally to most breastfeeding pairs. Moms need to learn how to help their babies latch-on correctly and babies need to be taught how to suck correctly. This takes time and lots of commitment, like any worthwhile goal in life. Remember, it does get easier. Don't give up!'
Breastfeeding is wonderful for baby and mum but it takes time and, in lots of cases, extra help and support to start with. Please do let us know any extra specific information about the difficulties your friend is having. We would love to help support her further in her breastfeeding journey.
Warm wishes,

Glen Campbell documentary earns Nashville Film Festival Award
Listen to Glen Campbell on iHeartRadio
The new Glen Campbell documentary is getting recognition at the Nashville Film Festival.
Glen Campbell...I'll Be Me earned the Gibson Music City/Music Films Grand Jury Award at the event. The movie is being praised for its "intimate and honest portrayal of a music legend's battle with Alzheimer's," and the way it "captures a family's commitment to love and laugh through the adversity of a debilitating disease."
I'll Be Me had its world premiere at the Nashville Film Festival earlier this month.
The documentary features the music legend and his family as he went public with his Alzheimer's diagnosis and wrapped up his career with a final, farewell tour. Filmmakers also include footage of other stars reflecting on Campbell and his condition, as well as how Alzheimer's has affected their own families.

I do want to get out to the Air and Space Museum out near Dulles.
On August 31, 2001, Lowe was on American Airlines Flight 77 from D.C. out of Dulles International.
Dulles, Moses recalls, sat as silent as a sphinx, and the meeting ended inconclusively.
Dulles, who made Tibet policy as much as anyone did, had no idea where the place was.
Dulles, Bush, and Casey not only ran the CIA, they were in charge of the entire intelligence community.
In response to Mr. Dulles' question, would you give the conversation?
Mr. Dulles—is he now released from his oath to the Commission, subject to recall and being resworn?
I might further add, sir, that I am familiar with the statements made to the press by you, Mr. Dulles.
The situation made the "Brinksmanship" of former Secretary Dulles look as safe as loafing in an easy-chair.
I believe—pardon me, Mr. Dulles, does that answer your question?

The precocious and pint-sized Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, 7-year-old beauty pageant pro and popular reality TV star of TLC's "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," may understand the art of attracting national attention, but it's doubtful she knows the ins and outs of high finance.
Not to worry: Honey Boo Boo can continue to focus on smiling for the judges and the cameras without having to learn about yield curves and capital gains taxes just yet. In a move that made headlines, her mother, June "Mama Bear" Shannon, announced she is placing most of the family's earnings in a trust that Honey Boo Boo and her four sisters won't be able to access until they reach the age of 21 -- except for medical emergencies or schooling.
Cautionary tales of young stars with profligate spending habits that landed them in the red are common enough. TV actress Tori Spelling, from the series "Beverly Hills, 90210" and recently her own reality show "Tori & Dean," reportedly inherited a mere $800,000 from her producer father's vast fortune. However, she still managed to rack up credit card debt to the extent that she said she considered bankruptcy in 2008.
Though Spelling eventually gained control over her fiscal life, there are sadder accounts of those who never recovered from financial ruin. Eighties heartthrob Corey Haim ended up losing his fortune to drug addiction. He died destitute. The late Gary Coleman from "Diff'rent Strokes" sued his adoptive parents in 1989 for mismanaging his $18 million fortune and declared bankruptcy a decade later.
By setting up a trust, parents can protect children from the overwhelming impact of too much money at an age when they are ill-prepared to handle it, according to Rosanne Duane, a Jupiter, Fla., estate planning attorney.
A minor child cannot legally inherit, nor can a minor create a trust. Technically, the money Honey Boo Boo earns on "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" belongs to her, not her parents. Since she can't set up the trust, the money would probably go into a court-supervised guardianship or conservatorship until she is 18 or 21, depending on the state, Duane says.
But parents can use their own money to create a trust for a child that provides support, such as education and medical care, until the child is legally able to receive the money. That's a wise move if parents plan to leave their children a significant amount of money, Duane says, because it circumvents the courts and puts control in the hands of the parents.
Aside from shielding a child from potentially disastrous financial mistakes at a young age, trusts for minors have several benefits that Honey Boo Boo and her family can benefit from.
Protection from liability
The trustee and money manager of a trust are held to a fiduciary obligation, Duane says, so relying on third parties removes parents from liability. No one wants to end up in court being sued for mismanagement, as in the extreme case of Gary Coleman.
Although a parent can be a trustee, and that arrangement often works out well with a professional money manager, Duane says, it pays to consider family harmony by appointing a trusted person to act as trustee. "It removes all the emotional issues. No matter what people say, they are always emotional about money."
One of the biggest benefits for parents is the ability to control when a child will gain access to the money. Honey Boo Boo can tap into her trust at 21, but Duane cautions that it might be too early. "Everyone at age 21 thinks they're capable of handling money," Duane says, "but unless the child is Alex P. Keaton (the preternaturally money-savvy teen from the TV series "Family Ties"), I don't know many 21-year-olds who can manage significant amounts of money."
Most kids just entering adulthood don't have a good grasp of investments, taxes or even income, she says.
She says parents who are setting up a trust for their children usually have in mind an age when they feel the children can handle fiscal responsibility. "For most people that's somewhere between 30 and 40."
Often, parents will request that payments from a trust be staggered so it's not all distributed at once. In those situations, Duane says, parents most typically choose to stagger two payments at age 35 and 40, or three payments at ages 25, 30 and 35.
Duane recommends to clients that they allow trustees the ability to withhold distributions as an additional safeguard against irresponsible or ill-prepared beneficiaries. "In this way, the trustee can act as a protector, but it should be an independent trustee to avoid family conflict," she says.
Fiscal education
Setting aside money in a trust that will pay out later -- sometimes many years later -- provides a great opportunity for parents to ensure a child is ready to handle the money. An older child can be named co-trustee to gain more experience with the money while there are still controls in place, Duane says. Another way to instill responsibility is to teach the child how to make a budget with the income from the trust.
"Mama Bear" knows the reality TV fame won't last forever, and Honey Boo Boo will eventually retire her beauty-pageant crown. She's made a smart move teaching the clan how to manage the money now and to not live above their means.

I have a question about accessing the site from a 3rd party site:
I have a plugin (Custom Login Lite) I use for access control on my WP site. I need users to access my site from a third party website where they will login to a members only area. Thereby when they click to go to my site, I need to have the UN and Password passed from that site to my WP site - thereby requiring no login at my WP site.
Is it as easy as simply sending a string along with the URL? If so, might you know how should the string be written?
Or is it more complex and something I don't (yet) understand?
Thanks for reading a for any help you can provide.

Topic: jaundice is coming back................
My mom has 2 stents in place, a drain on the outside of her body that is capped off because it appeared to drain inward instead of through the drain on the outside of her body.
We know that the cancer has spread and her intrahepatic CC is now on the outside of the bile ducts as well and there is another one on the wall of her abodmen that is growing. The Dr is willing to try one last form of chemo but her billiruben count must be lower. It was decreasing slowly (.5 per mo) but now this weekend mom's eyes are looking yellow and her tummy is yellow again.
Has anyone had this experience? I know that the stents need to be replaced once in awhile and they may need to "flush" the drain tube to ensure there are no blockages in the drain. I am wondering what might the next step for mom be?
Any thoughts and experiences are appreciated!!

Magazine Article - Europe'sWorld
Internet Service Providers are the Front Line of Cyber-defence
Special Section: Cyber-Security
Melissa E. Hathaway is former acting senior director of cyber-space, U.S. National Security Council. She is one of the contributors to Europe'sWorld's Spring 2012 Special Section: Cyber-Security.
Thieves, voyeurs, spies and other nations regularly invade the electronic borders which surround our homes, businesses and government institutions. But because the job of safeguarding these borders falls between the twin public duties of securing economic progress and protecting national security, governments around the world can't decide which ministry to put in charge of internet security. What they ought to recognise, however, is that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) — and more broadly the whole communications sector — are the front line of cyber-defence, and should therefore shoulder more of the responsibility this entails.
Major telecommunications providers and ISPs have unparalleled visibility into global networks. This enables them to detect cyber-intrusions as they form and head towards their targets. ISPs already adhere to common protocols and enable seamless, global connectivity, and collaborate to ensure uninterrupted service. They also limit the amount of spam reaching customers' in-boxes, notify users of botnet infections and partner with law enforcement agencies to block child pornography.
Why, then, don't governments expect ISPs to reduce the proliferation of malware and help eradicate infections on critical infrastructures?
What is needed is a holistic approach by governments around the world, with policies, laws and regulatory frameworks that support the communications sector and ISPs as they provide security to ensure the internet remains a public good.
Agreed international codes of conduct could, for example, require ISPs to inform customers whenever their computers become infected, assist in the eradication of infections or identify perpetrators. ISPs could also be required to report statistics to governments, educate their customers about cyber-threats and warn them about risks to internet transactions. In short, a collective global agreement could help make sure ISPs provide a reliable conduit of service, through which transactions can be maintained with integrity, confidentiality and privacy.
In this, cyber-space is just like any other essential sector where government regulation helps to maintain safety standards. In the food and water industries, for example, government inspectors help businesses keep bacteria and toxins within acceptable limits. In transport, parcel delivery companies and airlines have to check the goods they handle to prevent the transit of hazardous materials. There are plenty of other examples where governments regulate for the benefit of society at large. Cyber-security is no different.

Ann Demeulemeester Spring 2012
Three cities down, the last only started, but really, the point would have been driven home at the very beginning of New York, oh so long ago. (Three weeks ago, to be precise. The temporal measure of a fashion week is like a dog year; it packs so much into a short period of time that somehow it feels the aging process has taken on a hideous Benjamin Button–type scenario, but in reverse.) Anyway, the point is this: There are two types of fashion shows. There is the show that rigorously presents ideas and narratives that take fashion into new and exciting territory, even if many of the audience don't necessarily readily identify with the idea of that woman (yet). Then there is the show that affirms the identity of a designer and, in doing so, affirms the identity of many women sitting at the show, transporting them to a place that's familiar, but no less magical for that. (There is actually a third show, but it only leads to a dead end, and we don't want to go there—literally.) The emerging strain of fifties chic could be said to reside in category one, while Ann Demeulemeester, the Belgian designer with Rimbaud in her soul, firmly belongs in category two. She is brilliant at evoking a mood, a yearning, a sense of romantic, urban beauty with which many, many women feel a deep and intimate connection. (But let's not put that down to gender. Rick Owens, who showed the same day, has a similar gift, but that's another story—and another review.)
Demeulemeester's idea of spring is located on a mythic dune somewhere between North Africa and the arid stretches of America, a notion echoed by having sand strewn across the runway. She built her look up through layers of burnooses; fluid, floor-trailing sheer pants; intricate and intricately cut jackets; flowing dresses in ombré chiffon that darkens from sand through gray to black; and a brilliant sun-shielding wide-brimmed hat that's part Sergio Leone, part Paul Bowles. Of course, trying to specify what makes this Demeulemeester collection so poetic and beautiful is a bit like trying to catch those grains of sand in your fingers; it's tangible, yet is slippery to grasp.
Ostensibly, it was a meditation on what goes into her idea of the perfect jacket, and this show was full of them: loose and vaguely Victorian in cut (men's, that is), with the button cuffs trimmed with tassels, battalion style, in wool edged with bands of satin and swishing with silk fringe, and wrapped and draped as if they were a scarf, a feat of the designer's tailoring skills. What results is the idea of a very cool basic that's anything but generic and works with everything, yet simultaneously transforms all that it's worn with; each and every piece is a pertinent reminder of why Demeulemeester firmly belongs to that second type of show, making physical what plenty of women are dreaming about.

Randy Travis Looking 'Healthy,' 'Driven' In His Recovery
Listen to Randy Travis Radio on iHeartRadio
Randy Travis continues to make progress in his stroke recovery.
The country star's partner in his Tioga, Texas restaurant says the singer is "looking pretty healthy." Clark's Outpost BBQ co-owner James Hilliard tells Dallas-Fort Worth's NBC 5 Travis made a stop at the restaurant earlier this month, and was "up and mobile" and "walking pretty much on his own." Hilliard admits that Randy "still has a little trouble with some of his words," but he's "leaps and bounds" from where he was six months ago. He adds that Travis is "driven," and if anybody can make a comeback from such a health setback, "it's somebody" like Randy.
Travis recently released the video to the song "Don't Worry 'Bout Me," from his upcoming album Influences Vol. 2: The Man I Am. The disc, featuring covers of songs originally done by stars who inspired him, will be available on August 19th.

I can set everything up according to the tutorial, encode the payload, name the port etc.
When I do that though I get this error:

Exit whatever is listening and restart SET.
I can't make that error stop. I have tried to rebooting and shutting down my firefox to no avail. Any thoughts?

Blog Notes: Asian American Edition
This week my focus is on Asian American blogs. After all, May is Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month. Asian Americans influence and cultural contributions are as vast and diverse as, well, the continent of Asia. Whether it's entertainment, medicine, arts, sports, business or food, American culture would look pretty unfamiliar without Asian Americans. Not surprisingly, there are a great many blogs out there, telling the tale of Asian Americans. However, it does feel a little bit strange calling them, "great Asian American blogs." Because, really these are just great blogs. They just so happen to be written by Asian Americans. So with that in mind, let's take a brief tour of these great blogs.
The name 8 Asians is a bit misleading. Sure, it's a blog about the Asian American (and Asian Canadian) experience. But, really, there are more than eight contributors these days. Still, changing domain names each time the masthead grows would be prohibitively expensive. So, we'll give them a pass on that one. If I were to pitch this blog, I'd look for anything to do with Asian American culture, specifically entertainment. Check out the full review here.
Angry Asian Man isn't always angry. At times, he's even funny. But, he has very little patience for the misrepresentation of Asians in the media. (We're looking at you, Ashton Kutcher!) The blog also points out positive examples of Asian American cultural contributions, however. If I were to pitch this blog, I'd look for anything to do with Asian Americans and music or film. Anything at all to do with Jeremy Lin might also work. Check out the full review here.
Nikkeiview is written from the perspective of a Japanese American man. He's a third-generation American, yet he was born in Japan. And that straddling between two cultures informs the tone and perspective of this blog. If I were to pitch this blog, I'd look for anything to do with Japanese American culture. I probably wouldn't pitch this blog stories having only to do with Japan or Japanese culture. There's a difference. Check out the full review here.
Kimchi Mamas is a blog written by and for Korean mothers living in the United States in Canada. It covers the gamut of everything from pop music to relationship issues and just about everything in between. If I were to pitch this blog, I'd look for anything to do with Asian Americans and women. Parenting stories and general entertainment might also work here, too. Check out the full review here.
Absolutely Fobulous isn't a misspelling. Rather, it's a blog embracing the cultures that sit between two far away places. These bloggers may identify themselves as "fresh off the boat", but the blog hardly seems naive or inexperienced. At times, it's a lighthearted. But, they're also quick to point out injustices or misrepresentations. If I were to pitch this blog, I'd look for stories that deal with Asian American's contributions to entertainment or food. Check out the full review here.
That's all for now. In the meantime, if there's a blog I should be reviewing, drop me a line or a note in the comments, and I'll take a look. Until next time…
Author Tom Hynes is PR Newswire's manager of blogger relations. And as you may have guessed, he has a twitter account.

R&B singer/songwriter Frank Ocean seems to be bucking long-held assumptions that you can't come out in hip-hop.
Two weeks after Ocean acknowledged having unrequited feelings for another man in an open letter on his Tumblr account, he's finding both critical and commercial success with his major-label debut album, Channel Orange.
The album soared to No. 1 on iTunes when it was made available digitally seven days ahead of today's official release date and is projected to open as high as No. 2 on Billboard's album chart, selling 120,000 copies. That figure would more than double pre-release expectations.
Ocean hasn't said he's gay or bisexual, but his revelation has drawn praise from Russell Simmons, Beyoncé, Busta Rhymes and Adele. Reviewers have focused on the high quality of the music, which makes it clear on several songs that his love interest is a man.
"It's important to look at Frank Ocean's very honest letter about love as an extension of some monumental shift in the black community," says GLAAD spokesman Daryl Hannah. "You have President Obama's support of (same-sex) marriage. You have the NAACP's support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender members. You have celebrities' support of the gay community."
Ocean, 24, who has written songs for Justin Bieber, Brandy and John Legend, was featured prominently on Jay-Z and Kanye West's 2011 Watch the Throne collaboration. The New Orleans native is part of the rap collective Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, which has been criticized for its homophobic lyrics. (Odd Future leader Tyler, The Creator tweeted support for his friend.)
Though Ocean's step is revolutionary, Vibe editor Jermaine Hall doesn't anticipate a wave of artists suddenly coming out. He says even heterosexual rappers face accusations of being soft. "I can point to Drake as an example. He's a straight guy who expresses his emotions and he's perceived as being weak."
Kevin Ross of RadioFacts.com says it remains to be seen whether Ocean can gain traction with traditionally conservative urban radio programmers. "Things are certainly better than they were, say, 15 years ago, but they don't want anything that may upset advertisers," Ross says.
The album already has had a positive effect on a segment of hip-hop fans, Hannah says.
"Never before have the countless (gay) youth who consume this type of music had someone who understands what they're going through."

So we have to edit the kernel line EVERY time on start-up?
same as xNeroX, changed to i915.modeset=1 blind login and then everythings find. minor annoyance but for BT5 it seems worth it. Im on an ASUS ul80jt with i3 and NVIDIA Optimus, so seems to be a good workaround. Thanks snipes420 for posting the thread and all other for conformation.
So we have to edit the kernel line EVERY time on start-up?

After that I've tried to change vga=791 by vga=792 and nomodeset to i915.modeset=1 but nothing as changed...
Please could you help me to fix this issue.
you don't need to edit Grub every time you boot your PC
do these steps
in your terminal but this
gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
Find this line in that file
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text splash nomodeset=1 vga=791"
change that line to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.modeset=1 vga=791"
Save and close this file.
Regenerate your grub.cfg for the changes to take effect by but this code in terminal
sudo update-grub
test it with reboot
it works with me
thanks to snipes420
Thanks for your advise but after I have changed my grub.cfg when I have restart my computer I have this message "fb: conflicting fb hw usage nouveaufb vs VESA VGA - removing generic driver" and nothing going on

Discussing the Strehler-Mildvan model of mortality

Background: Half a century ago Strehler and Mildvan (1960) have published the seminal paper that, based on some assumptions (postulates), theoretically 'justified' the Gompertz law of mortality.
Objective: We wish to discuss assumptions and limitations of the original Strehler-Mildvan model (as well as of the Strehler-Mildvan correlation) and consider some modifications and departures from this model.
Methods: We use the framework of stochastic point processes for analyzing the original Strehler-Mildvan model. We also suggest the 'lifesaving approach' for describing the departure from rectangularization to shifts in survival curves for human mortality that has been observed in the second half of the previous century.
Results: We show that the Strehler-Mildvan model can be justified only under the additional assumption that the process of shocks (demands for energy) follows the Poisson pattern. We also suggest a modification that accounts for the oldest-old mortality plateau.

Cox is highly unlikely to get tendered, given his position. It's likely he will just be given a contract around the league minimum, which he would almost certainly accept.
Reed and Harewood are the ones that are a little hard to predict at this point. Harewood has value from a depth standpoint, but he really has done precious little to warrant any type of tender in his first 3 years. He was put on IR and didn't play a regular season snap in his first two seasons, and after bombing badly in a starting role to start the season, was inactive for most of the 2nd half of the year. It's a tricky situation, because giving a tender to a guy who is going to be inactive again in 2013 makes no sense. If he does end up playing a role and playing decently, someone else is going to badly overpay for him, making him basically a one-year rental. He's 50/50 at this point as to whether he even gets a tender.
Same with David Reed, who is darn good as a special teams gunner, but offers no value from scrimmage. A $1.33 tender for a gunner is a totally justifiable if that guy has a role from scrimmage (#5 cornerback or #4 wide receiver). Reed is the #6 or 7 or maybe even #8 wide receiver on the roster right now, so he is not even guaranteed to make the team. Tendering him for $1.33 million takes away some available cap space (about $800k) to use towards another player, so it's hard to see them using that money on him.
I think the wisest course of action is to offer Harewood and Reed a contract that is the veteran minimum for a player with 3 years of NFL service. If they take it, great. If not, then it's time to part ways with them. Keep in mind that the $1.6 million extra towards our cap that they would cost us in 2013 would be the equivalent of the cap # assigned to Corey Graham last year. You can get a decent free agent for a first year cap # of 1.6 million. The odds of Harewood and Reed at this point ever having a lasting value to the Raven organization is minimal, so I think the contractual commitment to them should be minimal as well.
Cox isn't worth $1.33 million, but you don't want to risk losing him either. Why not just offer the guy $3.6 million over the next 4 years with three years of guaranteed money and a small signing bonus? He'd be a fool to turn that down. From the Raven standpoint, it would be a way of securing a reliable player for the next four years. Yes, he'd cost a bit more than the $450k or so you'd pay an undrafted rookie to come and snap for you, but you wouldn't have any worries about that position for the next four years.
They could also do like they did with his predeceasor (Matt Katula) and give him say a 5-year deal with basically minimum salaries and a $600K bonus. That would mean he'd make close ($600K + $630K base = $1.23M) to the RFA tender amount, but would make his 2013 cap number $750K, so there'd still be a decent amount of Cap savings from the $1.3M RFA tender.
Also, understanding that his replacement, even if a rookie (and untested), would be making at least $405K.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
the decore was good. It was to cold and the heating in the rooms could not be turnred up even though i asked on three separate days, it was not finished and the advertized gym was not yet open.
Very different to standard chains, huge rooms, very artistic designs throughout hitel
My room was a good size, comfortable and quite stylish with a nice bathroom, good shower, coffee machine and free in-room wi-fi.
the art all around, nevertheless the hotel is not at 100 % ready ;)
Room was amazing, and so was all the staff. definately come back none
New hotel set in good location within walking distance of the train station rooms are large clean and comfortable the Breakfast is expensive, but there are plenty of bakeries close by.
Difficult to say, Hotel just opened for a couple of weeks, the inside organization has still to find their way. But is ok to stay in a further visit to Eindhoven at the same hotel. Found kondom under the CR when enterred, got as an offer to change the room and a bottle of wine. Missing hotel infos at the room such as tel directories, city map etc., Clothes have to hang openly in the room and very hight-suitable for tall dutch people
The hotel is vary new and has potential to become quite nice with its unique designer rooms Hotel was too new, still many 'teething problems', e.g., no iron board, no chair at desk, not enough light in bathroom, design of room was not very nice, no way to reach reception from the room, no room service, minibar not filled, still a lot of construction / decoration going on inside, etc.
Good location in the centre of town. Very helpful and friendly staff when we arrived. Large room with good bathroom. Despite its central location only slight road noise gets through to the room so we had a good noght's sleep. Large and comfortable chairs in the room. Its a 'design' hotel which seems to mean that stuff looks good but is not always very practical: no shelf in the shower for soap, bedside lamps did not provide enough light to read by, 'open plan' wardrobe rather impractical, coffee machine difficult to operate (under the somewhat gloomy lighting). If you don't mind these kind of minor irritations then this hotel is fine
The room looked really cool, very spatious, the bed was heavenly and the bathroom was also very luxurious.
Room designe Water down in shawer
people coming in the room early in the morning to check the minibar
stay at the room, restaurant, bar and breakfast no.
Clean, comfortable king-size bed
The staff were friendly, hotel comfortable and was in a great location to see and do anything (shopping, nightlife etc.) would recomend to anyone to see the city City Tax. - Although small in value I Wasn't made aware before my visit that this would be applied to my bill.
Location is very convenient, room is large
It's a good hotel in general Very friendly staff The fitness center opening hours are weird
Closeness to city. the bed was superior. 1. Couldn't get into restaurant for dinner Saturday night. 2. Jacuzzi seat in pool did not work. 3. Heating element did not work in room.4. Had a junior suite. Was next to public parking lot. From 1am till 4:30 am while bars let out loud Houligan behavior in parking lot. I complained to front desk, they could do nothing. very very disappointing
city center
The Lovely feeling of welcome and rhe claeanliness flowers etc .
The tasty food in delivered straight to the room was excellent! None smoking rooms throughout the hotel
The king sized bed was very comfortable. The free breakfast buffet was delicious. We were on the side by the main road on a Saturday night. It was unbelievably noisy when the bars let out at around 4 am.
The minibar was reasonably priced. The room service food was excellent and delivered very quickly. The windows do not open in the room. The minibar, although reasonably priced, did not have much of a selection.
Free wi-fi available in rooms at the first floor. If you live higher, you have to go with your notebook to the lobby. Room quite small, but very modern. Nice bathroom.
They had a good breakfast
the staff were friendly and accommodating The room did not have any of the standard 4 star treatments, of conditioner, shampoo etc
Very central & close to the station, shops & entertainment Air conditioning did not work & public rooms smelled of smoke
the breakfast was escellent, one of the best i have had i booked a double superior room, on check in thwy changed me to a superior single room with a single bed. this was very small and the mattress was very uncomfortable. also the walls were thin and you could hear guests arriving in the early hours
Staff was helpful with issues, location is great, breakfast was tasty and sufficient. Part of the hotel is not yet renovated, and those rooms are quite 'overused'. Do not expect to have a big spacious room when booking 'superior' room.
Design of the room (arrived at 23:00 and left at 7:00, so the trip was very short) Internet fees is too high, it should be included on the room rate
clean room far from the station
Free use of the Gym and swimming pool Room lighting could be a bit better
nice rooms, good breakfast included far from the cetnre, shuttle service to the airport only from 8.30, breakfast from 6.30 (if you need to go to the airport in the morning, quite problematic)
It was conveniently located for my purposes.
Restaurant was good and serivce was very good No tea coffee making facilities in room
There was a big improvement on the evening meal in the dining room in relation to the last 5 years. My wife and I were woken at 1 am from noise in front of the reception door during the Saturday night and again after that.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Hotel staff were very friendly and the breakfast was lovely hotel is €40.00 in a taxi from the airport, you need to get the bus to eindhoven station from the airport and then number 171 or 172 or 7 bus from eindhoven station and go to motel eindhoven stop it's much cheaper that way. Also no tea/coffee facilities in the room
L great pool and bar
hotel location room was very basic and area of room location felt like a hospital not a hotel.
convenient location standard room was 'tired', in need of renovation. bed was soft, sagging. superior room used on previous visit was excellent.
Convenient for where I had to go The fact that breakfast was not include in the price
Excellent place, and good relaxed atmosphere.. Internet facility, which is a very common feature was charged heavily.. secondly inconvenient for people not by their car..
Nothing very bad hotel Very bad hotel . The rooms are very far away from the reception at least 200 m .Your are lots in the corridor . You have to pay for a limited wifi . The breakfast is open only at 7 am . Don't go there!
Gym/pool did not open till 7.00am which is too late for 9.00am meeting starts.
Excellent location for local towns, villages, e3 Strand, a short ride by local buses or bike; short ride from Eindhoven - 3 bus routes available, all have a bus stop outside the hotel; beautiful hotel grounds and woodland can be explored on foot or bike hire from the hotel; great facilities: sauna, swimming pool, gym, sports amenities; bar and restaurant offer a rich range of food and drinks; rich continental breakfast is served every morning; room service on request; snack/drink vending machines can also be found along the corridors; staff are applaudingly multilingual, very helpful and informative; room and bathroom are clean and spacious; free boradband in hotel lounge; 24-hour reception; room check-out time can be changed to 5pm. No bad points; the location is not a disadvantage - the hotel is efficiently connected to Eindhoven by buses, the peaceful surroundings and nature are yours to enjoy; this is a business conference centre so you naturally have to expect business travellers and on occasions international sports teams - all is well organised, sports teams train in areas away from the hotel premises; remember that this is a 4-star hotel after all so if you're not happy with something don't wait to post a bad comment online - talk to the hotel staff and managers and they will sort out your worries professionally and efficiently.
Really beautiful hotel. Triple room is too small for three people. No minibar.
Staff extremely kind & understanding, a place to relax and no one would bother you, unless you required help.A beautiful relaxing place. Did not realise that we needed to book the restaurant for the evening meal, and had to eat later than we would have like, although again not a problem.
Very good attention towards our daughter ( 7 years old ) .Meals were very good.
Friendly staff and convenient location Having the resturant open later would have been good, we were late back after busy day and although the bar food was OK a little more pampering may ahve ease the furrowed brow.
Very late arrival, but you would have thought it was mid afternoon, excellent reception staff.
Polite efficient staff and very well positioned from airport. No
Hotel was clean and well presented, staff were very nice. No - Hotel was excellent.
Perfect location, close to motorway and airport. Superior room is fairly spacy, with movable desk, sofa and set-up great for business traveller. Own restaurant and bar. Choice between room with bath or shower. Wire and wireless internet in room. Although decent meal is served in hotel restaurant there can be great improvements (vegetables overcooked, French frites too long in fluids). A modern business hotel should not charge for WiFi in the room (although 5 euro is not too bad). Minibar prices too high (EUR 3 for small beer or soda, EUR 3,50 for nuts).
in all honesty: the bed. the room was really nice. my meal (dinner) did not live up to the expectation
Quiet country-like location with easy access to major highways. Very convenient free auto parking. Very slow dining service.
Very practical near Eindhoven Airport.
It was very easy to find ( I used the Airport as a landmark ).
great parking, temperature management per room, calm, just big enough room, storage could be a little bigger
Location was great. Breakfast was excellent. Nice heated pool. Internet charges--- way overpriced!!!
Room size. View from my room. Air conditioners definitely need replacement or repair; they are way too noisy.
central for the city
uitgebreid ontbijt dichtbij universiteit en centrum To use the wireless internet, you had to pay a lot.
The room was comfortable and clean. The towels and pillows were fluffy and comfortable. The reception was friendly and welcoming.
It's 3 minutes away from Central Station. Breakfast was OK - however scrumbled eggs made of egg powder it's not something to be proud of. I stayed there for 3 nights, then I checked out. My flight was cancelled and I tried to come back to HI. Unfortunately, they treated me as regular customer and offered the same price as for all other new customers, not to mention that I am member of HI Priority Reward Club... Very dissapointing!
Great relaxing bar and welcoming friendly staff Nothing
The location just behind the central station and the fact that is great value for money
Greatlocation, very spacious rooms and good way to work with two people in the room, also very central in eindhoven No sauna but its ok ill live
The quality of the food and the service was excellent.
Good location in the city center, easy parking, quiet. Bars and restaurants nearby.
Excellent location, clean room
Very Central, good atmosphere, friendly staff
Good hotel with an excellent location and within the budget
I love their location! right in the Market area, and so close to shopping, nightlife and train station. Parking in the mall that's connected to the restaurant is super convenient, too. I love the restaurant! So beautiful and great food too! I love the buffet! great selection! I love my room! great size for the $$$. I woke up on Sunday (day before Queen's Day) at around 9am with a guy stringing up orange balloons right outside my 2nd floor window. Kind of startling.
Staff was extremely friendly. Also, free Internet connections were available from the rooms.
The room was a good size and staff were helpful and friendly. There isn't good noise insulation between rooms on the same floor, so the first two nights were fine, the last night not. And the lighting in the rooms is very dim. Even after swapping lamps round, it was difficult to read comfortably..
Great Location (center of Eindhoven), very helpful staff. No minibar in the room. Everthing else was in order.
free internet noisy environment, old furniture, problems with tv reception, no minibar,small breakfast choice
Everything was ok- modern, comfortable, excellent location
Staff very friendly and helpful. Room very good value for money No
Bathroom was nice; beds comfortable. Not too far from city centre. Smoking preference wasn't available.
Nice room, good size, good location - very central, Great breakfast.Friendly staff in reception and breakfast restaurant, easy check in, baby crib provided free of charge. Tea, coffee and kettle provided in room free of charge. Great Indian Restaurant accross the road. Room could have been a bit cleaner, a little dusty and no soap in the bath room (this was replaced the next day by house keeping.) No opening window in the room, There was a mini bar fridge but it was not stocked, there is an Albert Heijns supermarket close to the station so you can stock up on drinks and snacks. Limited room service menu.
the staff were helpful and freindly - spoke really good English. Also, the facilities were what we needed - pool and sauna espcially was useful for our group.
Good location
it was a disgrace that it was not made clear that we could not book into our room until 9pm
Friendliess of staff,location to city centre. Rooms need updating,Stench in lift
Breakfast, friendly staff, clean hotel, swimming pool
The staff were extremely helpful (also with an off-question concerning a place where I could get classical music CDs in town), and I was impressed with the room decor. If back in Eindhoven, I will definitely stay at the PPM. The elevator is rather dingy, and does match the overall favourable hotel image.
Clean, spacious room, friendly and helpful staff; what I expected of this group of hotels
In the city centre
Location No
perfect location for going out at night the rooms in the back are pretty noisy, thin walls
excellent , close to bus and train station and in centre of eindhoven.
Friendliness of personnel and location The hotel is not very good (seems like a bit old and in need of some rennovation)
Restaurant staff humorous and attentive. Staff all spoke very good English making it a very comfortable environment for myself and my colleague who speak no Dutch.
The hotel is convenient for the city and only a short walk from the rail and bus stations. Staff were very pleasant and efficient. My room, 113, was a bit noisy (extractor fan?) and did not have a window to the outside, only onto the atrium.
excellent value.perfect location.
Location - in a square in the center of Eidhoven.
Excellent central location, right in the main square.
Parking at the weekends should be organized by staff and must be more clear from the start
Clean, good location, high quality fixtures None
Everything is excellent. Forget 4* & 5* hotels and choose this one. You won't regret Nothing
The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was clean. The decor in the room was very modern and good. The bed was lovely! No
Small hotel, comfortable room, great bed and, hurray, no carpet on the floor. Breakfast is offered a bakery next door. Fresh juices, rolls and pastry (the all you can eat concept does make unpleasant people out of some guests) but dining area is very small which can be a nuisance.
A very nice, new and original hotel. Compliments to the hotel staff who were very helpfull and service-oriented. Good, clean rooms with everything you might need. And the breakfast arrangement with the bakery next door works out good as well.
I was very surprised at the quality/price ratio. It's really a top class hotel in terms of comfort, design, location, ... . Ideal for shopping/citytrip, businesstrip, ... It has one of the best beds I ever slept in. There is no food/drink availability in the hotel, no minibar even. Only vending machines. So that could for some be a negative point. Although in the neighbourhood there is everything you need.
Friendly staff, clean rooms, good service,bikes available Maybe 2 more bikes will be perfect as we could use them for the whole family
the hotel is located in the centre of Eindhoven when you walk out the door you are directly in the shoppingarea. It has rooms that are not too big but very clean and very well equiped. Especially fo a businesstrip you can really take this place as a basis. Breakfast is good and surpisingly at a fresh bakery next door for a good price.
the location. right in the centre of the city It's a non-smoking hotel. Not very comfortable for the price
The best of this hotel is an easy access to the airport the checking must be before 11pm,
restaurant room cooridor on outside of hotel
Friendly staff.
cozy space. ok for the value. that was extremely cold....
near the airport
there were free rooms it's far from the city and not cheap
Close to city center, friendly personnel Small room, bit oldfashioned, small shower
closeness to the airport
very friendly staff. good bar facility easy access to centrum and eindhoven airport. breakfast was very cold and is not worth 11 euros
Close to the airport. No for long stay
The room was clean, spacious and had everything I wanted in the room. The tv remote needed new batteries, but this was not a major issue at all.
good breakfast coffee and tea facilities should be provided in the room
Hotel Pierre was an exceptional hotel to stay at... The rooms were huge and always clean and the breakfast buffet had a variety of selections. The free shuttle was very useful in taking us to and from the airport. The hotel is ideal for business people, not so much for the traveling student because it is above the average pricerange for students and about a half hour out of central Amsterdam.
the beds are comfortable all is a bit dated and the storage was hopeless
more information on the public transport would be welcome. It's a long walk from the main train station and the information on the public transport is scarce.
Location, peace and quiet, food No
good staff, room clean
The hotel staff is very very helpful and accomodative. Infact, they went extra length helping beyond what we asked for. Great customer service.
Freindly Staff and ease of booking in and out The Restaurant was closed when we arrived.
The staff Far from city, it is a 4 star hotel but the hotel is actually more like 1 or 2 star hotel, dull room, boring view, the facilities are old
Ratio quality/price The heating is off at night and it becomes quite cold.
Location. Smoking room even if I'd prefer non smoking.
The hotel was quite OK. Nice and comfortable room with TV. Lack of shower is the biggest minus of the room where I've stayed. Easy access to the city centre and NS station. Good availability and fair prices of WI-FI. lack of shower
Close to town city.
It is a nice hotel, quiet, clean, confortable hotel. The staff are excelent!!
I love this Hotel, Amazing Value. Tidy Rooms, Great Staff and Superb Location.
We were not in the same building and we had to go out and freeze for breakfast.
independant entrance and flexible with picking up and droping of the keys. Reasonably good breakfast. Room looks liek inprisonment cell. They still could stay "budget"'but at least remove 30 year old table and useless old TV. It smells with smoke even though it is non-smoker. Overall feeling of poverty and shabbiness.
walking distance from train station.single room was spacy enough for one person. they dont have lifts,so not recommended who doesnt wanna walk up with ur luggage.walls r kinda thin so that u can sometimes hear ur neighbors.
The size was good, It would be a good place for backpackers, had a shared bath, but it was convenient. Never met any staff, but the room was ready for us when we showed up late. It was across the street from a bar, and it was a little noisy for the first part of our stay.

text: So, here we go, a thread for anyone who rides in the Northeast Ohio area. NEOhio Tag stats sheet-> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...SbotD5ho_nFZco7zKtjz0QJMc/edit#gid=1618001686 NEOhio Tag Map--> https://drive.google.com/open?id=1llorVeqKKRv-kPYTqBmEP37uMkM&usp=sharing Lets start out with a game of Photo Tag. Here are the rules. Edit>No Whining! I should have followed Dragoon's lead and put this in years ago. Silly me, I thought it wouldn't be needed. <Edit To claim a tag you must post a photo of your bike (or some portion thereof) within a full view of the tag that was placed. No file photo allowed for claiming. You must ride there. Please include location of the tag. If you are the first person to claim that tag you can post a picture of your bike in a new place! Please be ready to post a new tag right away. In this case file photos are allowed for placement. Multiple tags are okay within the spirit of the game but please keep it reasonable. Tag must be accessible from a publicly recognized road. Dirt & gravel is okay as long as you warn ahead of time. Obviously the point is not to get someone into a sticky situation. If you have figured out the location of the tag and are not the tag placer please refrain from giving obvious clues to the rest of us slackers. Again, for the benefit of the slackers, if you claim the tag, please let us know where you found it. Okay, here are the borders... To the North, Lake Erie... Duh! To the East, PA state line, double Duh! To the South, Ohio Rte 39. South side of the road is out of bounds. To the West, Ohio Rte 60. West side of the road is out of bounds. Okay, let's have fun and play some TAG! Quote: <Originally Posted by bumknee Hey Chip and any other east side Cleve, You think there is enough following up here in NEO to get any locals tags. Can't slab down to Central OH to play. Thinking area around 91 West - 44 East - 90 North - 422 South? Central Guys, didn't mean to jump in. If there is any interest we could break it into a new thread. PS - And your all welcome to hit the slab and come North anytime. But Ill probably be heading east towards PA .> BumKnee, I don't know that you will find enough ADV members within that limited area to get a good game of tag going. Perhaps the entire NEO quarter of the state, and even then I think you would have to do a good bit of recruiting in the various sub forums here. For whatever reason not many NEO members show up in this thread? I too would encourage you to head south (of route 30) to find the good stuff in Ohio. Your bike certainly has the legs for it! Well anyway I will toss this one out here in case anyone or yourself is interested.I think this shot may have even appeared in another thread somewhere. This shot is from the cemetery across the street. The three digits of the state route this is on add up to 14.

Two police officers suffered minor injuries, and a suspected burglar was shot and wounded outside a 99 Cents Only store in North Hollywood, police said Sunday.
The officers were injured when they were attacked with a "wooden object" by a burglary suspect, who was subsequently shot by one of the officers, said Los Angeles police officer Cleon Joseph of the Los Angeles Police Department's Media Relations Section.
The officers were treated at the scene and released. Paramedics rushed the burglary suspect to an area hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, Joseph said.
The officers had been sent to a report of two burglars inside the store at Victory Boulevard and Vineland Avenue at about 10:30 p.m., said Officer Bob Collier at the LAPD North Hollywood Station.
One of the burglars attempted to run away from the scene and was chased down by two police officers. During the chase the suspect picked up a "wooden object" and tried to attack the officers, Joseph said.
"There was a confrontation with one suspect and an officer-involved shooting occurred," Collier said.
It was not immediately known if there actually was a second burglary suspect, Joseph said.

MAMMOTH CAVE, Ky. (AP) — Two trails are being connected in south-central Kentucky allowing bicyclists and hikers to travel the route of the old Mammoth Cave Railroad from Park City to the Mammoth Cave visitor center.
The connection is being celebrated at a public event at 10:30 a.m. CDT Nov. 17 at the Mentz Hotel in Park City.
Mammoth Cave National Park says the Kentucky Transportation Department linked the trails by including a lane for bicycles and hikers in its reconstruction of the Interstate 65 underpass at Exit 48.
The connection links the nine-mile Mammoth Cave Railroad Bike and Hike Trail and the one-mile Park City Bicycle and Walking Path.
Wayside exhibits along the trail describe daily life of families and communities that were at Mammoth Cave before it became a national park in 1941.

Bang Bro
Morph hands down, beautiful style, looks alot like Vegaone, seriously killer
UKCSire was next closest, dope fill
Half of these images should have been cropped. Learn to resize your images people, no one is going to vote for a piece if they need to scroll to see it all.
And i dont know why you put a No One Wins option there Gesus, thats what the null vote option is for... You should know this better than anyone.
its actully a good idea to have that as an option rather then kind of force yourself to vote for something you dont like or not vote at all..
No one wins, shits nasty.
i like bang bros style, especially the 's' so ill vote for him.
you guys are crazy
even if you have to vote between two horrible pieces then you are still forced to examine them and determine which one is better. Thats the whole point as far as im concerned.
and in this case there is an obvious winner anyways so why add that box? Im just ranting, it makes no sense to me though
geesus were u in this?
