When your Audi A5 was born, it was destined for a driver who prioritizes German engineering in their automobile. While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Audi vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to fix your automobile. Anyone who drives a Audi knows that when it comes to repairing their vehicle only the absolute best replacement parts will do. You purchased your A5 because its a reputation for performance and European styling struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to superior quality auto parts?
Reducing NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) is the responsibility of the bushings and mounts that dampen unpleasant shakes and shudders. Located under the engine block on your Audi A5 are two or more motor mounts. Your Audi A5 motor mounts are composed of a metal bracket or sleeve that will bolt to the subframe assembly, and a rubber or urethane bushing protects the chassis from excess vibration by absorbing or dampening it. Your engine mounts will probably not look like ones found on other vehicles, but their purpose is the same; no matter what.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Audi A5 part for your project or repair. Buying new Audi parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement A5 parts on the internet. When your Audi needs a new replacement Engine & Motor Mount, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Audi A5 Engine & Motor Mount for your 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 model.

This morning I have a note from Jodi Thomas, as well as a giveaway for her latest release, One True Heart. This is Book 8 in the Harmony series, and I'll have a review later this morning.
From Jodi Thomas:
Welcome to ONE TRUE HEART. Like waiting for fine chocolate, this book is one you will not want to miss. For me the story is always about the people and I loved writing this story. This one started at a real place I know well, the Amarillo airport where one night a man and a woman meet by accident. She's exhausted and on crutches. He offers her a ride to Harmony. She's a trained soldier and sees this professor type in glasses as no threat. Only, while she sleeps, he steals a kiss.Read more

"Our Nearest Neighbor" Source: NASA
Judging the prospects for human settlement beyond Earth requires assessment of elements such as; the rationale for, the technical, biological and social readiness for, the political will for, and the funding resources available, for doing so. I focus here primarily on the rationale for and technical and biological capabilities for human settlement. Even that is a large topic. Also, I fully acknowledge the advisability of using, as possible, advanced robotics with the "virtual presence" and remote manipulation they can provide to assist in all aspects of human settlement. It is envisioned that they will be the initial explorers and risk analysis agents that preceed humans. Subsequently, when teamed with humans, they can help create the infrastructure to support people and robots in a very challenging environment and greatly facilitate space commercialization opportunities and applications. However, robotics will have to be addressed later.
A common view within space advocacy groups and the human exploration elements of NASA is that "spacefaring" on a space platform traveling for months beyond Earth, a large asteroid or another planet like the Moon would logically occur in stages which can help us operationally define this vague term. The first would be "sortie" or short visits to demonstrate the feasibility of getting there, briefly living and working there, and coming back. We did that long ago during Apollo. The second would be to establish an "outpost" with imported facilities and supplies sufficient to stay longer and test the limits of people and systems to operate together safely and efficiently. Apollo did none of that except to provide a sporty "lunar buggy" that extended human travel distances for exploration. The third stage would be to establish a permanently occupied "settlement" of facilities, resources and people who would stay for fixed periods and then be replaced as we do now on the International Space Station (ISS). The fourth stage could be called "frontier" where people move to their new home assuming it will have sufficient resources, with ongoing related processing efforts, to provide mostly local "life support" for themselves, and perhaps in the future for a growing population that might start with plants and animals in artificial ecosystems.
This staging when applied to spacefaring on the Moon provides a useful view of the "precursor" phase that has recently begun (remote exploration with lunar orbiters, crash-landing "excavators", water "scouts", and lots of strategic analyses) and the R&D necessary to allow us to perhaps permanently inhabit the planet "next-door". Much work would be required, with significant involvement by the entrepreneurial space sector in partnership with the government, to make the Moon habitable for short periods gradually extending in length. Many argue that spacefaring development work must be done in part on the ISS and then the Moon to make the costs and risks even close to being acceptable. There is an emerging view that considering the significant climate, energy, resource and Near-Earth Object (NEO) threats to our planet, the future of the human race may mandate off-Earth settlements. These might function as an alternate artificial ecosystem for humans and hopefully, also as a resource "base" for Earth-focused research, energy production, rare mineral extraction, and more. Along with potential commercial profits from development, this is the basic rationale for spacefaring, and Stephen Hawing and many of the NewSpace entrepreneurs are strong advocates for this view.
While attending the recent NewSpace 2009 Conference sponsored by the Space Frontier Foundation, I experienced a real surprise during a presentation focused on our readiness for human spacefaring.. It was as if a fresh breeze blew away the chronic fog and exposed a hidden reality. The clearer view was represented by James S. Logan, MD, currently an Aerospace & Occupational Medical Officer, at NASA JSC. Reality emerged with his frank assessment of the accumulated biomedical evidence associated with the health risks of long-duration human exposure to spaceflight the space environment on other planets, but his focus was the Moon.
The evidence presented (link is to a very similar presentation by Logan) was not new to me since I've been involved in space life sciences research and reporting of mission results for many years. What was truly new for me however, was that this highly-experienced NASA flight surgeon, currently employed by NASA, and a strong advocate for the value of human spaceflight, told the story about what he called, "The Elephant in the Room". In this case the "elephant" was the infrequently discussed integrated biomedical evidence indicating that the combined dangers of microgravity (or perhaps 1/6th lunar gravity) and radiation exposure during long-duration habitation on a planet like the Moon or Mars, is so dangerous that it would be unethical to expose people to it with our current systems.
In talking with Logan after his presentation he reiterated that he was not speaking for NASA or the government, but only himself as a long-term specialist in this area (Board Certified in Aerospace Medicine, former Chief of Flight Medicine and Crew Surgeon at JSC for many Space Shuttle missions). His motivation is to put the evidence on the table so it can be better understood, discussed, and shared more openly in a constructive manner. He is clearly not trying to cause problems but does feel strongly that these major challenges need to be dealt with effectively. Indeed, for several years he has had a consulting company on the side, Space Medicine Associates, Inc. staffed by a team with human biomedical and healthcare backgrounds. Their current tagline is " Dedicated to the Health and Safety of the Personal Space Traveler", so apparently they are also focused on commercial human spaceflight safety.
The obvious question, of course, is why isn't this story being told by other NASA experts in this field too? After all, "spacefaring" leading to long-term human habitation on other worlds, is the implied, if not often-stated rationale for NASA's human spaceflight program - is it not?. I expect we can all appreciate that Logan's frank and open biomedical risk assessment and sharing of that story publically might be discouraged by some in NASA upper-level management. A few might even consider it "career limiting". It's my view that NASA can no longer avoid such discussions and expect to maintain its credibility with the space biomedical research community and the informed public. Whatever the astronaut opinions are on this issue they must be highly-constrained since they are in a classic conflict of interest situation. But they surely expect NASA to conttinue focusing on their long-term health and well-being. Logan is an excellent spokesperson and good "bridge-builder" advocating responsible human spacefaring combined with more focus on the research, technical development, and collaborative action that needs to be done.
Logan was asked what he thought was a great question by a listener, during a July 15, 2008 David Livingston interview on "The Space Show". The listener wanted to know about what enthusiasts for spacefaring could do that would be both responsible and helpful to their cause. Logan indicated that they should face the reality of the large body of biomedical evidence to date and encourage others to become informed too. He thinks that is the first step toward then encouraging NASA to develop appropriate space exploration and development strategies based on what we know. He suggested that it is essential to conduct ongoing biomedical research with animals, plants and humans to better understand countermeasures such as the use of artificial gravity and water and/or lunar regolith shielding from radiation hazards.
A recent article by Jeff Foust on The Space Review with the choice title, "Found Art" highlights the tendency of some spacefaring enthusiasts to blithely ignore these issues to the detriment of all. After the Mars Society recently testified to the Augustine Committee about the importance to the future of spacefaring of sending humans to Mars, one of several signs saying "Mars Direct: Cowards Return to the Moon" was found in a nearby restroom, presumably left behind by an advocate. An equally choice comment on this story was provided by one Malcolm Peterson…"Perhaps the advocates for human trips to Mars should afix an asterisk to their statements such as,...the Surgeon General has determined that human travelers to Mars should assume that they will not survive to return to Earth." Logan is not alone.
The prospects for true spacefaring do not look good right now, but fortunately we have several R&D paths opening up that may help improve them. A new capability to conduct microgravity and/or radiation-related research is emerging on suborbital space planes (4 min micro-g duration), low-cost microsats such as TubeSats, CubeSats, GeneSats are available (weeks in duration), a large free-flyer like the SpaceX Dragon Lab is being developed (controlled variable duration and return of payloads), and the ISS National Lab is receiving much-needed attention from White House and NASA review teams (weeks in duration with access to international research facilities and sufficient crew to do more research). Opportunities for helping humans to eventually live off-Earth are increasing and we need to use them wisely if we hope to truly become more spacefaring.

Tyabb Structure Plan
Household type
This topic has been updated with 2016 Census data for the LGA or other primary area only. What's this?
In Tyabb Structure Plan, 31% of households were made up of couples with children in 2011, compared with 28% in Mornington Peninsula Shire.
Tyabb Structure Plan's household and family structure is one of the most important demographic indicators. It reveals the area's residential role and function, era of settlement and provides key insights into the level of demand for services and facilities as most are related to age and household types.
To continue building the story, Tyabb Structure Plan's Household Summary should be viewed in conjunction with Households with Children, Households without Children, Household Size, Age Structure and Dwelling Type.
Derived from the Census question:
'What is the person's relationship (to each other person in the household)?'
Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, Census of Population and Housing (opens a new window) 2006 and 2011. Compiled and presented by .id (opens a new window), the population experts.
(Enumerated data)
Compiled and presented in profile.id by .id, the population experts.
Compiled and presented in profile.id by .id, the population experts.
Dominant groups
Analysis of the household/family types in Tyabb Structure Plan in 2011 compared to Mornington Peninsula Shire shows that there was a higher proportion of couple families with child(ren) as well as a higher proportion of one-parent families. Overall, 30.8% of total families were couple families with child(ren), and 15.8% were one-parent families, compared with 28.3% and 10.5% respectively for Mornington Peninsula Shire.
There were a lower proportion of lone person households and a lower proportion of couples without children. Overall, the proportion of lone person households was 21.2% compared to 25.1% in Mornington Peninsula Shire while the proportion of couples without children was 25.5% compared to 29.0% in Mornington Peninsula Shire.
Emerging groups
The number of households in Tyabb Structure Plan increased by 238 between 2006 and 2011.
The largest changes in family/household types in Tyabb Structure Plan between 2006 and 2011 were:
- Couples with children (+68 households)
- Lone person (+49 households)

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
I did not like any thing I did not like any thing about the hotel I had my kids with me and the website says you a have witch you do but it was not open and I had some very upset kids and that is one reason why I picked the hotel I will never stay at the hotel and that is very sad because I will be coming to Harleysville on a regular bases.
Amazing, friendly service. Spotless. Great value for the price. Great breakfast buffet. nothing
Room was clean but not immaculate & had a nice bar with good music. Front desk person was helpful. Room was starting to look a touch warn
We came duriing renovations to the lobby so lots of crowded conditions down there. Also, rooms recently renovated are great-- all suites. BUT-- toilet was broken and never fixed. Front desk calls weren't answered. Chalking it up to the renovation...
The staff in restaraunt were great. Also Jeff front desk man was very customer friendly Everyday if not twice a day told them the toilet leaked also the water in toilet was very dingy as well as toilet seat needed changed
The restaurant staff and the bar staff were Excellent We had a lot of people rotating through the dining room .
It is a hotel Poor internet
Fruit water, nice front staff Renovations.
The staff in the restaurant was friendly, attentive and all-around great; room seemed freshly renovated. Room wasn't fully cleaned during our stay (coffee maker was left as I used it); not enough toilet paper; I canceled wakeup call but got one anyway; no non-slip in slippery bathtub; too few towels; dozens of little boys running around and yelling in public areas (lacrosse tournament, I think).
Nice staff, quiet rooms, good parking area. Our room was clean and had recently been updated. I was concerned by all of the reviews talking about construction noise, but we did not hear or notice any construction underway during our stay on October 29 - 30, 2015. I live in the area and we were just staying there as a treat. In the future, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the hotel to out-of-town visitors.
The hotel was nice and the rooms were some what clean The service was awful. The told me the could drive me to a work event and then told me that they dont have a shuttle service on the weekend when I called weeks ahead of time to make sure of this so I didn't have to drive drunk. There was only I e person working the front desk which was Prob why she had an awful additude. And they didn't give me my cookie lol that part I didn't care much about but still thought it was funny. Don't get there breakfast it is soooo awful, powdered egg mix!? Who does that lol the only place Iv even stayed where they could actually mess up breakfast lol crack an egg you last SOB's
No elevator to second floor
Great location right across from King of Prussia mall. Decent breakfast included Wifi was surprisingly reliable
- Clean/Well kept/ new or updated facility - Everything in good repair - Friendly Staff - Very good hot breakfast included - Nice pool and workout room - wonderfully landscaped inner courtyard - close to restaurants/convenience stores/ gas stations - Reasonably priced compared to other local hotels Highly Recommend to those who want a quality place to stay. But must keep budget in mind.
How Mickey the rooms were later out Nothing
Beautiful, clean rooms. Beds were very comfortable. Bathroom was roomy and clean. Location had a few shops. Only about 20-30mins from downtown Philly. Free breakfast had average selection. Nothing to write home about.
The beds are awesome. I can't recall ever staying in a hotel and the bed being more comfortable than my own bed at home. The location is also great because it is right across the street from the KOP mall. If you don't mind crossing huge intersections, you could easily walk to the mall from there. The breakfast was also really nice, but it was a VERY long walk from the room and difficult to find. We would have been better off getting in the car and driving to the breakfast area considering the amount of time it took and the twists and turns it took to get there. I know this is an older hotel, but seriously - how is there no elevator?? It's clear renovations have been done, but one of those should have been adding an elevator to the older end of the hotel. As we were leaving, we noticed one on the newer end, but in the amount of time it takes to load everything on a cart and drag it to that elevator, we were better off carrying it up and down the stairs ourselves. Lugging all of that up the stairs was a huge disappointment and would definitely cause me to find another hotel if we stayed in that area again.
One of the better complimentary breakfasts in this price range. Great access to KOP mall. Room was clean and checking in staff were excellent. Just a bit more soundproofing needed to completely block hallway and upstairs toilet flush noises, still able to get a great nights
Breakfast was wonderful, times were great, comfortable room, price was reasonable. nothing
The hotel was well kept, the staff was friendly. Great place to stay, excellent value
Needed a late check in time and the staff was most accommodating Room and Hotel were clean. Breakfast was good, we got down about 30 minutes before closing and the food was still fresh and hot.
Clean room. Comfortable bed Thin walls. A bit noisy
Rooms are a bit dated. Pillows were terrible.
My deal was for a King bed and I ended up with 2 queens. There was no change.
The location Room condition: chair had a large stain and the stuffing was coming out; bedskirt was covered with lint "balls": needed to ask for glasses two days: bedspread was pulled back but bed was never "made", fitted bottom sheet was never totally covering the mattress: clean towels were there but at the same time the soiled towels were left on the floor: Would not stay there again.
The location of the hotel and the fine breakfast the next morning made our stay a pleasure.
The room #310 smelled like cigarette smoke. And the people next door to me were drunk and talking loudly, screaming, singing for three hours in the evening. Very obnoxious. Not your fault.
The room and hotel were very clean! The curtains on each side of the window were only there for decoration. They didn't actually close. This was a problem because the light from the parking lot was directly in front of the window, which made it hard to sleep.
The walls are very thin. Heard doors open and closing all night long.
The hotel was very nice and the people were very friendly. I was there for the Devon horse show so we did not get to spend much time at the hotel.
We used the room as a base camp for the seminar and award banquet on Friday night. We intended to stay over but with ask the snow we decided to return home after the banquet. It served its purpose well. I hate sliding doors, no privacy, very embarrassing and uncomfortable
I like the location and the hotel was nice enough. Nice bathroom. Elevators seemed to make noise and seems old. no indoor pool even thought the pics that I scrolled through showed a beautiful indoor pool and was hoping to enjoy that with my two daughters. I also booked two queen beds and when I checked in they said they saw that I made a "request" for two queens but could only give me a king with a pull out sofa. That was NOT a request that is what I booked. I would not have chosen this hotel if only a king was available. I was visiting my daughter that is attending Bryn Mawr College. The attendant at the desk was nice and gave us complimentary breakfast coupons. I did use them but wasn't planning on having breakfast at the hotel because my daughter is also vegan. The only thing she can really eat there is fruit and there was some soy milk out so she was going to have a bowl of cereal. When she went to pour the soy milk it was frozen!! The server was able to come up with more from the back. This was really NOT the experience I expected but made the best of it. I plan on traveling to this area several times a year. Not sure I will give this hotel another chance. There are many choices.
Location is great. Generally clean room. For the price, it was good, but have stayed in other area hotels for similar price and had better accommodations and amenities in room and at the property. Bed was very uncomfortable.
Modern large comfortable rooms.
Rooms not available at checkin. Casino way too smoky
The room was very nice. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was romantic. Loved gambling. Lost card and would very much love to get it back or a duplicate sent to my home 110 Clear Creek Drive Bear, DE 19701 This would be Greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Please have a great day. Sincerely, Delores McNeill The travel to the nearest restaurant. No smoking in Bedrooms.
Convenient for the sports show we were going to and that's about all. Restaurant was fairly good. No window in room, skimpy toiletries, lumpy uncomfortable bed, very noisy room near the elevator. Also, could hear through the walls.
Good sized room. Everything worked as it should. Lots of noise- there must have been a dog show in the area and even though I didn't see any dogs inside the hotel, they were outside and barking all night long. Many of the guests appeared to be part of the dog show. Probably not an issue other times. Also the plumbing made strange sounds. The bedding in my non-smoking room smelled like smoke and I had to spray everything down with Febreze.
The location was convenient for us. The hotel smelled of cigarettes as soon as we walked into the lobby but the room did not. The room was fine other than the pillows were kinda banged up as old. The room needed more outlets to charge devices
NoThing Very noisy skit of truckers. Very dirty, used a towel to wipe my face and it smelled like throw up. Offer maker broke but still in the room. Soap messed up my skin. Horrible experience and will never go back. The towel smelling like throw up is enough to say that with co idence
Great location. Very comfortable. A/C was not very cold. Small breakfast.
Great price and location Carpet is dirty, staff was nice but answered the phone while I was checking in, free breakfast was horrible.
The only thing I liked was the fitness room. There were a few good pieces of equipment. The whole place smells bad. There were two bums in the downstairs I noticed when I first came in. One of them was there the next morning eating at the "breakfast". If you're going to let them in, I don't see anything wrong with it... but either put them in a room or somewhere where the guests aren't walking around. The location sucks. There's a disgusting German-American restaurant within walking distance. There's a McDonald's behind that. If you want to run across the highway, you can risk it for some what looked to be average American style food. The breakfast was offensive. The oatmeal bin was full of some disgusting concoction. I put the ladle in and pulled out lumpy, bulky, hard... something. The "oatmeal" was like a rock. There's no way you can eat that. There was some loose bread. There was frosted flakes and raisin bran cereal. The coffee was horrific. All along that bum was walking around. The room was very dark and depressing. This place is nasty, go somewhere else.
Clean convenient and comfortable at a reasonable price Breakfast area was a bit congested on the Sunday morning that we were there....could use a few more tables.
Clean bed My staying hotel included breakfast but when I checked in hotel they never mention it. Which I paid for it. Also this hotel did not provide bath tub.
Clean, friendly staff, excellent service
The comfortable room, and helpful staff Bathroom needs updating
It was great clean and quiet
pool and hot tub food too expensive
location, property, rooms, breakfast buffet (monday - saturday) staff ignored us. card key broken, told to wait for manager. never show. eventually got keys, told manager would call, never did, empty liquor bottle under bed in room, old coffee cups left in room.
Breakfast that was included was very good. Staff very friendly.
Manager was pleasant. No help with luggage at checkin, have a bad back and was in a visible back brace. Room was prepaid. Was asked for credit card at checkin and my personal checking account was charged for 2 days. Was out during the day, could only speak with evening staff. The 1st person said she would call me back about it and never did. Next night, I was told that only the manager could fix it and was not able to do this until check out. The charge was for $265. Lucky that it did not cause me to go into overdraft. It was not removed until the day after I returned home. No refrigerator or microwave in the room. Food in their restaurant was very overpriced. Staff at check in were snobby and indifferent. Room was over priced, wet carpet and night table beside the bed. Sheets were changed only once in 5 days. Bathroom had a mildew smell. Air conditioning unit was very loud. Room was at the end of a very long hall. Not great for someone with a bad back.
They claim the booking should not have happened. I had to drive 20 miles to find a hotel at midnight. I expect a credit James ashton
Great breakfast!
Had stayed here previously and don't remember the A/C problem and chose to go back again. I'd probably go return. Air conditioner noisy and cycled all night waking me up. It blew across the bed...when it was running, too cool, so had to cover up. After it stopped, it was too hot, had to kick off covers. Finally at 2am I got up and turned it off! It was not a good night's sleep! Minor problem, only one of the two elevators was running making wait time very long. Heard many complaints from fellow riders about how long they had to wait and how crowded it was once the elevator stopped.
Ac was loud, the door handle was not working properly
Decent hotel. Clean decent rooms. Staff was pleasant. Youth hockey convention....kids running through halls yelling and screaming. Had to complain twice once when we got there and another time overnight.
Cleanliness, comfortable beds, library
The lobby staff was very professional and attentive.
Nice gym/pool/hot tub to relax. My friends and I stayed in 3 rooms. I was charged for parking and internet when the other rooms were not. Very unfair and tricky staff at the front desk.
No major problems with anything. Room, facilities, food were all fine for my purpose (business) for a 1-day stay. I was surprised that there were no snacks and a very limited selection of drinks in the Concierge Lounge during the day.
This hotel has full suites, so each room has a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and full bathroom. They are very spacious and would be perfect for a family. Everything was very clean and fairly new. They have a free full breakfast every morning. The quality of the hotel is still that of a 3.5 star hotel - it isn't a luxury hotel. - but the rate was absolutely incredible for what is offered and the service is excellent.
Incredible value for the money. Would be a great place to use by a family for a Philly vacation (if you have a car) or a long-term business traveler. Bed was very comfortable, loved the kitchenette, bathroom was nice and big. The breakfast was way above standard, and staff were friendly. I would definitely stay there again. Nothing.
Loved the room and the bed was so soft! I think they sold us on what new bed we want! Didn't like the pull out handle to turn the water on. Strange.
engineers are responsive people!thank you for the way you do,the stuff on the front desk and shuttle drivers are doin' great.tnx for your attitude troubles with hot water availability air conditioner sounds like a jet plane) do not use the taxi services they call on the front desk(strange and rude behaviour(
Room service had good food The walk to the casino was very long the restaurant s on site were very poor.
Everything!!! I didn't stay longer
This hotel was very clean and comfy. Location was great. Perfect for a weekend getaway. Our only complaint is the shower door, or lack of. Looks nice but since it was very cold outside, we couldn't get the heat to stay in the room, it made for a cold shower. We put towel at the door so the cold air would quit coming in from the hallway and by the time we went to sleep it had warmed up.
Clean, close to mall
Nice hotel, with very comfortable rooms WiFi was not free
Bed was comfortable No signs stating when the pool and jacuzzi closed. Front desk was rude when asked about the shuttle services. Lack of courtesy, dog down the hall in a room barked all night
The price and cleaniness of the room! The staff was awesome! The breakfast could have been better. The only good thing was the Belgian waffles!!!
The hotel was well maintained, clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and the complimentary breakfast was very good. Only negative was the noise from the local interstate not far outside our hotel room window.
continental breakfast
Everything Nothing
I just enjoyed my time spent here with family. The pool was fun. We went about 4 times that weekend we were there. Not many people in there. Breakfast was delicious and hot. We had a problem with the bathtub and called many times. The building guy came once but no one word from anyone else all weekend.
Bargain for the cost, especially considering we stayed on a holiday weekend. Location is only 15-20 minutes from the Philadelphia Zoo, which we appreciated. Breakfast was tasty and main food items changed daily in our 3-day stay.
Clean and comfortable. The staff give misinformation which reflect the lack of training received from managers. When issues arise due to the incorrect information provided by staff, the customer is liable for paying in full. They should be honest and take responsibility for their errors, but they dont. The hotel is not accessible as stated.
This is very close to where I was working for the week. The complimentary omelettes are a nice touch. Aside from breakfast, the food is mediocre.
Nice staff. Good breakfast. Room was much smaller than anticipated, thought there was going to be a pull out bed and there wasn't even a couch.
Nice place and the best hotel breakfast that I have ever seen. We asked for a crib and did not have one.
I enjoy my stay here the room was nice and roomy love the decor The room I was in had ants in hotel staff came and dealt with it but still ants
Choices of food at breakfast . Late hours for pool .
Decent hotel if the staff cared. When we were trying to sleep there was a party on the floor. Called security and they did nothing. Then we called the police and they did nothing as well.
We have stayed here before and they have remodeled since. Very tasteful decor. The rooms are large and the beds are awesome. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. We love that they had coffee, snacks and wine available throughout the day. The cookies were delicious.
I did not like any of this hotel. I didn't like the double booked wedding, I didn't like the loud annoying drunk crazy atmosphere at 12:30, I didn't like the clueless and non helpful desk attendants. I did not like it here. The front desk was useless and had no idea how to handle themselves.
Best hotel I've ever stayed at. Best staff, best amentities. Amazing breakfast. absolutely nothing.
warm cookies in lobby The breakfast was not complimentary. The chef and omelets to order is a nice touch, but should be an option.
Clean, fairly quiet, excellent staff. Good breakfast. Clock radio in room did not have the correct time, and there was no way to fix it manually.
Quiet location and quiet rooms, very comfortable.
I love the convenience, great staff and happy atmosphere. The rain.
It was clean. And we enjoyed the breakfast When we got there the pool was closed. My children were looking forward to swimming and only were able to swim 1 of the days
Clean room and friendly staff Really noisy near the elevator

Today is the last Tuesday of the month so you know what that means – time for book club!
I posted my post here so anyone who wants to chip in their two cents is welcome to.
We're starting out small, but I'm excited to just get back in the swing of reading more regularly and talking about books.
If you missed this time, I'll put up a poll later in the day so people can vote on what they want to read next time – possibly with a bit of a time extension on it since I didn't really take into account the people ordering books online (Sorry Julie!)
Cheers and happy reading!

4 - 3 Final - OT
Allen's OT goal lifts Panthers over HurricanesJan 4, 2011 - 5:52 AM
Cory Stillman had a goal and an assist while Dennis Wideman and Chris Higgins each lit the lamp for the Panthers, who have taken their past two and have points in five straight games.
Scott Clemmensen stopped 34 shots to help Florida even the season series with Carolina at two games apiece.
Zach Boychuk, Zac Dalpe and Jay Harrison each had a goal for the Hurricanes, who had a three-game winning streak stopped. Cam Ward was tagged with all four goals on 28 shots in the loss.
Carolina had rallied from a two-goal edge in the third period, but it was Florida that took home the two points with Allen's marker in OT.
With Florida cycling the puck at the left side of the Carolina zone, Shawn Matthias left a drop pass at the top of the left circle for Allen, who blasted the puck past Ward for the win.
"It came off the boards and I was just trying to get a shot on net," said Allen about the goal. "You know, I was hoping for a rebound or to generate some action. I wasn't expecting it to go in."
Carolina got on board at the 15:47 mark of the first thanks to a misplay by Clemmensen. The goaltender attempted to play a dump in behind his net, but Troy Bodie got there and stole the puck. Bodie then sent it out front where Dalpe jammed it home.
However, Florida tied the game with just 33 seconds left in the first on Wideman's third goal of the year.
The Panthers took the lead at the 11:57 mark of the second as Dmitry Kulikov ripped a shot from the right point that was stopped with Higgins in front to clean up the garbage for his seventh goal of the season.
Stillman's goal at the 5:11 mark of the third extended Florida's lead to 3-1, but Carolina answered with the next two to tie the game.
Boychuk's goal came just 54 seconds after the Stillman goal when he grabbed the puck behind the net, came around the right side and wristed it home from in front.
The tying goal came near the midway mark of the frame as Erik Cole skated into the Florida end, pulled up at the right circle and sent a pass to the slot where Harrison wristed it home for his first goal of the season.
"I liked the way we fought back at the end of the game," said Carolina head coach Paul Maurice. "We've always had tight games with Florida so none of these games come easy. We had the chances in the third to finish it, but it didn't happen that way tonight."
Game Notes
Florida had dropped four straight in Raleigh...Florida plays in Atlanta on Wednesday...Carolina hits the road for two games with the next contest in New York against the Rangers. The Hurricanes will then head to Florida for a rematch on Friday...Neither team scored on the power play with Florida having one chance and Carolina three.

Description: In Silicon Snake Oil, Clifford Stoll, the best-selling author of The Cuckoo's Egg and one of the pioneers of the Internet, turns his attention to the much-heralded information highway, revealing that it is not all it's cracked up to be. Yes, the Internet provides access to plenty of services, but useful information is virtually impossible to find and difficult to access. Is being on-line truly useful? "Few aspects of daily life require computers...They're irrelevant to cooking, driving, visiting, negotiating, eating, hiking, dancing, speaking, and gossiping. You don't need a computer to...recite a poem or say a prayer." Computers can't, Stoll claims, provide a richer or better life. A cautionary tale about today's media darling, Silicon Snake Oil has sparked intense debate across the country about the merits--and foibles--of what's been touted as the entranceway to our future.

I am a master when it comes to cooking main dishes in my slow cooker, but I am just learning all the amazing side dishes that my slow cooker is capable of! This is actually a recipe that I made on Christmas Day . . . I didn't want to spend all day cooking in the kitchen, so I had three slow cookers going – one for the ham, one of the potatoes, and this one with the green beans. It made cooking (and clean up!) a breeze. I really think that I could cook with my slow cooker every day of the week!
Serves: 8
The easiest way to cook fresh green beans- in the slow cooker!!!

By now just about everybody agrees that the European bailout of Greece has failed: The debt will have to be restructured. As has been evident for well over a year, it is not possible to think of a plausible combination of Greek budget balance, sovereign risk premium, and economic growth rates that imply anything other than an explosive path for the future ratio of debt to GDP.
There is plenty of blame to go around. But three big mistakes can be attributed to the European leadership. This includes the European Central Bank - surprisingly, in that the ECB has otherwise been the most competent and successful of Europe-wide institutions.
Mistake number 1 was the decision in 2000 to admit Greece in the first place. The country was an outlier, geographically and economically. It did not come close to meeting the Maastricht Criteria, particularly the 3 % ceiling on the budget deficit as a share of GDP. No doubt most Greeks would agree with the judgment that they would be much better off today if they were outside the euro, free to devalue and restore their lost competitiveness.
The second mistake was to allow the interest rate spreads on sovereign bonds issued by Greece (and other periphery countries) to fall almost to zero during the period 2002-2007. Despite budget deficits and debt levels that far exceeded the limits of the Stability and Growth Pact, Greece was able to borrow almost as easily as Germany. Part of the blame belongs to international investors who grossly underestimated risk on all sorts of assets during this period. And part of the blame belongs to the rating agencies who, as usual, have been lagging indicators of European debt troubles, rather than leading indicators. But in this case, both groups might justify their attitudes by pointing out that the ECB accepted Greek debt as collateral, on a par with German debt.

Most girls would throw a fit if their parents tried to set up an arranged marriage for them. It's so outrageously old-fashioned—even for a Tiguri family, members of a fierce race of shapeshifting weretigers. But Saskia isn't getting her claws out just yet. She'll go through with this marriage to help unite two powerful families—and because her husband-to-be Nicolas Preda is the sexiest, hunkiest, and only man she's ever wanted…
Of course, marrying an alpha male like Nic comes with its share of danger. As leader of his Streak and head of a global corporation, Nic and his new fiancée must take their places in the jungles of Manhattan—and the local Others seem to have a strict "no pets" policy. In fact, the Council seems to think the Tiguri are at the root of all their problems, including an attempt on the life of its leader. If Nic hopes to protect his name and his mate, it's hunt or be hunted—and he can't do it alone. But if anyone can bring out the beast in him, it's the sexy, savage tigress he's sworn to love…
Get a sneak peak of Christine Warren's On the Prowl (available April 24, 2012).
Chapter 1
Her feet hurt, but not half as much as her face.
Saskia Arcos stood in front of the elegant marble fireplace, flanked by three imposing male figures, and wished desperately that this quote-unquote happiest moment of her life had included a couple of aspirin. Or maybe a morphine drip.

About TheDastard
TheDastard replied to TheDastard's topic in General and Gameplay Programming[quote name='colinhect' timestamp='1328205161' post='4908791'] The separation of tasks that you describe doesn't sound like a good candidate for multithreading to me. In general, separating persistent things like UI logic, game logic, rendering, etc ends up not gaining much from multithreading and makes coding/debugging it much more difficult. Threads are more useful (and manageable) for things like asynchronous resource loading or short term parallel computation (updating unrelated entity components simultaneously or a parallel algorithm for frustum culling, etc). In my opinion the concept of tasks is a bit redundant since you will naturally separate things like entity logic, inventory management, and interface logic into separate modules anyway. To formalize them into tasks would not give you anything you didn't already have. [/quote] Fair points. I think the decision to break down states to tasks may have been more motivated by our reluctance to classify menus and inventories as states, and end up with a huge laundry list of them. We intend to have several menus and interfaces that overlay the game world that can be opened and closed, so the ideal of concurrent objects seemed initially appealing but I suppose unnecessary. So if we wanted to have these interfaces, as well as maintain and render the states beneath them I imagine a state "stack" would be the ideal solution, with the top most states determining if the state beneath it should handle events, update, or render. Would the ideal of breaking large states (menu & game for instance) into a small subset of internal states that manage their own smaller stacks reduce clutter or just be more hassle than its worth? We're trying to get most of the large design decisions made before we start working on things to prevent having to re-code large portions just to add features X and Y.
TheDastard posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingHey guys, a long time reader, first time poster. Currently I plan on starting up a fairly large scale project with a few friends and we're looking for a bit of feedback on the gamestate system we plan on implementing. The game is being written in C++, SDL, and OpenGL. So I've read through old posts like [url="http://www.gamedev.net/topic/337919-using-a-stack-for-the-gamestate/"]http://www.gamedev.n...-the-gamestate/[/url], and we've developed a bit of a hybrid system between several systems mentioned there. The application would have both a StateManager and a TaskManager, as we plan on eventually multithreading the program. The StateManager would call handleEvent(), update(), and render() on the current active state, as well as be able to set the new active state when the current state dictates. States would be broken up into things like an introState, MenuState, GameState, etc (fairly common). Now within each state things will be broken up intro several tasks. For example the menuState will have a 3D scene being rendered in the background as one task while the menus are another. The gameState will have the "game" being one task (or a series of tasks in itself), and any inventory, in game menu, etc will be separate tasks. I've seen people talk about making these separate states, and even talk about using a stack so you can layer them on top of one another, making overlapping renders easy, but conceptually an entire state for a 3D game and then a state just for each small menu seems wrong. The taskManager would manage the tasks within each state, maintaining a priority list. As I mentioned before this will allow us to eventually implement multithreading much easier as individual tasks can do their work separately, causing minimal conflicts (obviously there are still a few concurrency concerns but we all have decent experience with multithreaded programs, I'm sure we can handle it [img]http://public.gamedev.net//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/img]) So my question is what do you think? Are we missing anything? Does this seem like a workable framework for a large scale game project? As an aside, I've seen many sources talk about using singletons for managers and/or states and tasks since you'll never have two gameStates running, or your inventory open twice, but singletons make us nervous. I personally have always been taught to use them when they are the ONLY alternative (like a logging system). Also, with our currently described framework, will the overlaying of tasks (menus overlapping with a rendered game scene) be difficult without a stack?

Very good hard woker good job I will use him if do any more work
If you are looking for honest, hard-working, reliable tradesmen, these are your guys. Floor preparation was unparalleled - after 4 previous floor disasters, I've got a good understanding of how this all works. To ensure a level floor, they ground down high bits and used a self-leveller to bring up the low bits. They worked late when necessary to get it finished in time - and I mean late - 10 or 11pm. They cleaned up after themselves and we had a team here every day until the job was complete. Excellent job!
I now have an outdoor space I not only can use, but love.Ken gave me excellent advice on what would work and I am more than thrilled with the results. Rose

It's my birthday today! Yay.
We're going to the Aquarium in Plymouth, which will be fun. I'm not allowed to open my presents until tonight though! Mum says I can open one present this morning, because I already know that my parents bought me a new mobile. But the others are on the table, and some of them are HUGE!
I'm such a child when it comes to birthdays XD
So, as from today, I am no longer a teenager.

It's officially summer and one of the quintessential activities that many families look forward to during this time of year is camping!
Now, I must admit that trudging out to a secluded spot in the middle of the woods where the air conditioning is forgotten and the insects love to swarm is not this city girl's idea of a great time. However, my husband grew up loving to spend time in woods with his family and wants to carry on the tradition with our own children. It seems that the kids are eager to try this new adventure out, so I'm officially outvoted. Pack up the sleeping bags!
For this month's Story Corner theme, "Summer," I chose a book that focused on this aspect of the season. When You are Camping by Anne Lee is a fun and cute tale of two very different sisters and their take on what camping is really like for their family. I love that one of the girls has just immersed herself in all that the experience has to offer while the other one takes some time to find enjoyment in the trip. This sums me up perfectly in these types of situations. I may be uncomfortable at first, but after I get the chance to settle in, absorb what's happening around me, and watch my family have a great time, I begin to find the things that make the activity more pleasurable for me.
After we read the book, my children began to chat and expound on all the things that they would see and do when our family makes its own camping trip in the near future. They were positively giddy at all the fun they were certain to have when they experienced sleeping in a tent outdoors, roasting hot dogs and s'mores on a campfire, and exploring nature. Their chatter made me think that it would be fun for them to have a little notebook or journal to help capture some of the ideas they had and to expand on them and turn an ordinary camping trip into a learning opportunity.
This brief 10 page pack contains a few simple activities and tidbits for your preschool or early elementary aged child to do while you are enjoying the relaxation that settles in when you are surrounded by quiet and nature!

SARASOTA, Fla -- At first, it may sound like some sort of prank; the city offering one-way bus tickets to the homeless. But Sarasota City Manager Tom Barwin says offering one-way bus tickets to the homeless has worked in Jacksonville, so it's time we offer it to the homeless in Sarasota.
"Where the local homeless outreach team has funding to return people to their home communities and their families when there is a recipient on the other end willing to meet them," he explained.
Barwin says the local homeless outreach team will screen applicants very closely before buying them the one-way tickets.
"Over time they (homeless outreach team members) will hone in on who is interested in the program and who is just using it as a quick pass to get out of town for a couple of days," Barwin said.
Private resident Art Levin thinks this plan is so terrific, he approached the City Manager after the meeting to donate.
He thinks it's a great idea. "You just don't give them money, it does take counseling, not just an arbitrary hand 'em a buck," Levin said.
The new program is especially popular with those who live and work around the Rosemary District--who, one by one today, told their respective stories to City Commissioners about losing business and patience to vagrants, many of whom have shifted from Main Street to the 4th and Lemon area.
So how would the homeless react to one-way bus tickets? We asked Calvin Collins, the licensed mental health counselor who interacts with dozens of them every day on behalf of the Sarasota Police.
"The ones we've talked to are excited. They want to go home," Collins said.
The City chipped in a thousand dollars in an effort to spark private donations.

Note from the Marfa Team:
There is something to be said for people moving to big NYC to make art. They don't fear competition. Eneas Capalbo left Argentina and eventually opened The National Exemplar Gallery in Manhattan. British artist Adam McEwen also lives and works in NYC. Their mutual friend, my dear Rachel Chandler invited them both around for a chat. Everyone likes to talk about art, right? Photos taken at Eneas' home by Rachel Chandler.
Eneas, where are you from?
Eneas: Switzerland.
Eneas, please be serious.
Eneas Capalbo: Okay. I am from Argentina.
Where in Argentina?
Eneas Capalbo: Buenos Aires.
You have an art gallery in NYC, on top of being an artist yourself—but were you interested in art when you were younger?
Eneas Capalbo: Yes, I was.
What's the first artwork you remember being aware of?
Eneas Capalbo: Oh, do we really have to do this? (moans)
Yes, this is what we are doing tonight.
Adam McEwen: I've been speaking to Eneas about this in the past, and I remember him saying that he always had art books at home when growing up. Whose books were they, Eneas?
Eneas Capalbo: My mom's.
Adam McEwen: What kind of art?
Eneas Capalbo: Everyone. From old masters to current artists.
What about Pop Art?
Eneas Capalbo: Yes.
Abstract expressionism?
Eneas Capalbo: Yeah. All of it.
What about Rothko?
Eneas Capalbo: Yeah, and Lucy Lippard.
Adam McEwen: Really? She had books by Lucy Lippard? So she was well-read, your mother?
Eneas Capalbo: I guess, yes—and she painted too.
Adam McEwen: What kind of paintings?
Eneas Capalbo: Depressive shit.
So there was quite an artistic ambiance in your household. Were you aware of the art scene around that time? Things happening in other parts of the world. Say, Keith Haring.
Eneas Capalbo: Well, I was still little in the eighties. I was born in 1976. I knew about Warhol—but he was dead then, no? I also knew of Jeff Koons.
Adam McEwen: Did Koons ever do any shows in Argentina?
Eneas Capalbo: No, but there was a guy in Argentina who had a little space where he had some of Koons' works. Clem was his name. He was a collector, or something along those lines. I just hung out there after school. I wanted to be friends with Clem, or maybe I wanted him to show my work. He did occasionally exhibit Argentinian artists like Marta Minujin.
Adam McEwen: So did you ever show your work to him?
Eneas Capalbo: I probably showed him something very bad. I did a lot of Warhol copies then, like the Coca-Cola ones, and a lot of random stuff too. I even did a portrait of Clem to get his attention. He was hard to approach, but I kept visiting the space and insisting that he start talking to me. I took a photo of him and did a silk screen print like Warhol. Clem was very camp.
What was your agenda behind all this? To be noticed?
Eneas Capalbo: To be noticed and to be able to get out. I always knew I wanted to leave, or at least meet anyone from anywhere else.
"I always knew I wanted to leave, or at least meet anyone from anywhere else."
Adam McEwen: Didn't you make friends with Evan Dando when he was touring in Argentina?
Eneas Capalbo: Yes. We somehow ended up hanging out in a hotel. He even recorded some songs on tape for me. Mostly his own and some Dinosaur Jr. We spoke on the phone for a while after he left—that's how I practiced English.
How old were you then?
Eneas Capalbo: Sixteen.
Was Evan your inspiration to leave Argentina?
Eneas Capalbo: I always knew I wanted to leave anyway. Evan told me to go to NYC.
What did you imagine you would do in NYC?
Eneas Capalbo: I just really wanted to be an artist, I guess.
You must have seen a lot of good shows when you arrived.
Eneas Capalbo: I remember they were showing Richard Prince at Anton Kern Gallery. Steven Shearer. George Condo at Pace in SoHo—I was really into Jazz Paintings. Castelli Gallery was still open on West Broadway too. I don't remember what I saw there, but I went a lot. It was my favourite gallery. Thank god I got to see it, or rather thank Barbara Castelli.
Did you imagine that you would start a gallery yourself one day?
Eneas Capalbo: No. It just happened. I just liked art so much, and I kept meeting the artists themselves—not by necessarily seeing shows but by staying up late.
Adam McEwen: I remember you ran like a little bar at one point.
Eneas Capalbo: Yes, in my apartment on Waverly. I bought a table and some chairs from a speakeasy called Wyanoka that was closing.
Didn't Damien Hirst have something to do with it?
Eneas Capalbo: Stefania [Bortolami] was working at Gagosian, and one day she brought Damien over because I had been making copies of his paintings. I don't know if Stefania was just being nice, but Damien ended up really liking them. He hung around a lot. We invited other people too. I met a lot of artists then. I like these people as friends, but that doesn't mean I show their art now.
Adam McEwen: You show my art.
Eneas Capalbo: Yes, you were my first show when I started The National Exemplar. You and Todd [Eberle].
"I kept meeting the artists themselves—not by necessarily seeing shows but by staying up late."
Do you think there is a common thread uniting all the artists that you've shown?
Eneas Capalbo: What I show is quite conservative—older guys like Richard Artschwager, Terry Winters and Keith Sonnier. I have learned that when I put a young artist on it's normally a fucking disaster. I don't show a lot of trendy art. I mean people who make art to buy a Range Rover and have a house on the beach.
Adam McEwen: Don't you think the mixture of young and old artists can be good?
Eneas Capalbo: If they are good, yes—but there are very few good artists who are young. I don't even have to like what they make, but they have to take what they do seriously.
What makes the older artists better?
Eneas Capalbo: I am not even talking about age when I say old. I just mean artists whose work has a meaningful and serious intent.
Adam McEwen: I wonder what it is about the older ones that makes you want to show them. Obviously you feel like something is not being taken care of.
Eneas Capalbo: Maybe they think there is something not being done for them and that is why they show with me. Obviously they like the gallery. Or they like the people who go to the gallery. I can't afford this art myself, so at least this way I get to live with it for a couple of months.
It's quite an eccentric mix of people that visit the gallery.
Eneas Capalbo: They are all good at something. No hangers-on. If there are any, I kick them out. Rachel, you taught me how to 86 someone.
I did.
Eneas Capalbo: I do it a lot—especially to the bad artists. I don't want them there.
Is there a philosophy behind all this?
Eneas Capalbo: Like its name suggests, The National Exemplar is very dictatorial. I believe that people need to be taught how to do things right by force—and if not, then they can drop dead.
Adam McEwen: I am not going to ask who you mean by they.
Eneas Capalbo: Good.

More edit options needed Tried to edit my start stats to no avail. Had to reset all my info just for that simple thing, would give it 5 stars if that could be edited.

Export feature Good meal export feature. Better to export to a folder and name days 01, 02,...10 for better sort order.
Julia Chacon
Like it but... Every time that I start a new round have to pay for it?
Angelica Mayen
GreAt for container tracking and workouts Font is extremely small very hard to read anything w glasses and w/o. Will look for a different one.
Glad I gave it another chance First it didn't save then I re-tried & it worked!! Does exactly what I need , I do wish you could select a certain amount not just full or 1/2 size. Sometimes I use 1/4 off container size
terri michl
Great start I loved it if it would only work consistently. Locks up a lot and the boxes won't drag all the time
Sandy Skinner
Good idea, but doesn't save info Good concept and simple to use for 21 day fix, but I planned my whole day and it erased it! Very frustrating! Please let me know if there is a save button somewhere.
Andrea Laclair
Keeps turning black wont load right off and in thu day not dependable :( but when it works its great!
Barbara Rodriguez
21 day log Love this app. Very easy to use. Thank you for making the font bigger.
Amanda Schrantz
It works well I do wish it was easier to see other measurements put in, and my weight down I dropped a category and it did not readjust my containers, that would make things easier because on week 2 I had to stop using it.

Jessica Williams
Horrible The print was super small. Not worth it at all.
Lina Q
No happy at ALL I purchased this hoping app to keep track of which containers I used with what food I ate. However, it didn't do anything for me. In addition, I wanted to readjust the calories count to reduce the containers and then didn't do anything. I was really looking forward on using this app however there are bugs on it.
Jenn And Mark Cartwright
My favorite program.. But two negatives While I love this program, I can't figure out if there is a way to change the amount of containers seen daily. I have dropped down a level and don't want 4 fruit options when I only have 3. Please tell me how this can be updated.. Also when you go into stats by accident, you can't get out without saving something.. Annoying.
Reanne Armacost
It works calorie is confusing doesn't have all food options like cucumbers and I don't see the work out section. Does what you need but that's it
Debbie Mullins
Help Where are the options
