Most of the staff are friendly. They will greet your arrival with fruit juice. Besides they are willing to assist with your query. The room is very comfortable. The only drawback is no lift access. We booked a premier deluxe room which is located at the highest floor (4th Floor). Anyway the room is spacious with a wonderful view. We felt that it is worth to climb the stairs. There is a big bathtub in the room. You can enjoy it while watching the television. Overall experience was great, I would recommend this hotel to my friends. Thanks front office manager, Thipyarat and resort manager, Phusit for paying attention to my request.

Accommodation and facilities:
The room is in the last building far from main road, so more calm than the frist one that is for the firts romm price. The room is nice but not so big than expected and not convienient to use. There is no door for restroom, just a little curtain and all light swith is on same area and no inscription to know witch one we have to use. The view from the 2 floor was good, coz you can see the moutain and the see. The curtains is double so no problem to be wake up by the sunlight early in the morning. The bad things is that the bathroom use separate tap for hot and cold water rather than mixer tap. So you always have to find the good temperature mixing the hote and cold water.

No problem booking as always and fast and clear explanation.

The only bad things is that this kind of room is in the first building on front of the main street and it s really noisy in the night coz just in front of a bar that make live concert every nights, so difficult to sleep well or you have to bring your earplugs. We where on the second floor and there is no view of the sea, only the montain but little coz you still have the roof of the lobby in front of you. But you can relax in the day on the balcony is not so noisy than in the night.

Wolves land O'Hara
Wolves have confirmed the signing of Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara on loan for the remainder of the season.
O'Hara was in the stands to watch Wolves' FA Cup tie against Stoke after undergoing a medical and the completion of his temporary switch to Molineux was announced shortly after the game.
The 24-year-old had a spell on loan at Portsmouth last season but has not featured at first-team level at White Hart Lane this season because of a back injury.
The former England Under-21 international has featured in two recent full-scale practice matches with Spurs and was eager to go out on loan again in order to regain full match-sharpness.
West Ham were also interested in signing O'Hara but Mick McCarthy has won the battle to secure his services.

Oregon mom won't return 'Bunny Suicide' book
One way or another, a Halsey woman promises to keep a popular cartoon book out of the Central Linn High School library.
Taffey Anderson says "The Book of Bunny Suicides" is not appropriate for anyone, but especially children. She inspected the book her 13-year-old son checked out of the library, and what she saw convinced her to never return it.
I plan on donating a copy of
I plan on donating a copy of this book to the Central Linn High School. It is ridiculous that this "Taffey" person can set herself up as a censor, especially at the high school level!
Taffey Anderson is, apparently, an idiot. But so are some of the people who commented on this story at The Oregonian's webpage: http://snipurl.com/4jr2a
More encouraging was this snippet posted by The Oregonian later today:
Graphic novels like "The Book of Bunny Suicides," which one mother is threatening to burn, have helped boost reading rates at Central Linn High School.
"Bunny Suicide"
Yes this is a pretty inane book, to put it mildly. In my opinion...it is even stupid, disgusting, and offensive...but I haven't pulled it from my library's shelves. It really doesn't have a large circulation and as it is in paperback format, I'm sure it will become shabby soon and be weeded from the collection.
If someone doesn't want their child to read it, well that is their prerogative, and I say good for you for supervising your child!
However (and you know there is one)....It's not Daffy Taffy's right to monitor what other children read! Daffy Taffy needs to butt out!
As for purposely taking library materials and refusing to return them...there is a state law concerning this, it comes under the heading of "THEFT"....and maybe she needs to be turned over to the law for purposely stealing library materials.
14 Checkouts
If care is not taken as to preservation, 14 checkouts is the average amount of wear to make a paperback not all that usable.

I personally detest this book, since I have had two close relatives commit suicide. But I wouldn't necessarily want it removed from the library. Ok, I want to, but I wouldn't for ethical reasons.
Does this mean I can steal all the copies of "The Virgin Suicides" and feel good about it?
Please voice your complaints
Please voice your complaints to American library association at [email protected] to have them get involved.
An oregon based radio show titled the Rick Emerson Show called the librarian on 10/20/08 and the school was not hip to the story and were unsure what associated press was.
This situation has infuriated many people,cause in essence you could do the same to any book, EX. Bible,Mark Twain, or fahrenheit 451.
Why can't the family just not rent the book and leave it alone.
Please Stop This
Tell the ALA
Is there some sort of ALA SIG that goes out and 'tunes up' these people.
Do they whack people too? I'd join the ALA again if I could be one one of those teams. Fly out and beat people up.
This story is sadly another one that makes us non-Americans think that the biggest nuts are from the U.S..
book/ record burnings, strange lawsuits and evolution vs creation in the schools are some of the stories that we hear and as stated makes us think you are weird. I do know that there is no more nutcases over there than in Europe pr average, but it is sadly stories like these we hear.
I've looked up the book, and even though it's not something that I consider as kneeslapping fun, it is humour and we have a lot of comics with a lot darker or twisted sense of humor. Some of the weirdest even got their own tv-show here in Denmark (wullfmorgenthaler).
The only time we had a debate on what to have in our libraries was when there was published a selfhelp book about how to commit suicide, but even then the libraries took it with a sense of humor and said that the only concern they had about lending it to people was if wouldn't be returned. Sorry If that offends anyone...
I do know that there are sane and rational people over there, sorry to once again hear a story that puts you in a bad light.
Do you have any other ways in which Denmark is superior to the United States? Ooo, let me get a pen.
Didn't you all have rioting and violence in the streets over newspaper cartoons? I'm sure that's different, though, right?
Probably shouldn't respond but...
I guess you just want an argument.
First of I'm not saying that we are superior. Denmark superior to another western country? Not likely...
What I am saying If you would bother to read is that it is that kind of story that we hear and judge by.
And since you ask if our incidents over cartoons is different. Yes it is.
We didn't have rioting and violence in the streets. It was all in the middleeastern countries. Here we see more violence after a football match...
You might have heard that it was here, and you create an image of what kind of people the Danes are based on that. The Danish People where not upset by the cartoons we where more wondering what all the fuss was about. Most of us had not seen the pictures and hadn't the reaction been so overwhelming (in other countries) no one except the cartoonists would remember the picture.
The Danes have a very laid back attitude towards these things, which I tried to illustrate. But you choose to misunderstand.
I have this Image of John Lennon saying they where bigger than Jesus, which started the destruction of Beatles records.
Had he said it in Denmark it would have been considered a joke and have been shrugged of, like I guess most americans actually did. I doubt the reaction was so overwhelming as the media wants us to believe.
Again It is a question of who makes the noise and get noticed, not the sane ones who shrugs it off but those who as a minority judge was the majority should want and behave like.
If she takes the book with
If she takes the book with no plans of returning it isn't that stealing?
those poor bunnies
If she is planning to save all bunnies from this sort of suffering, perhaps she should go about blocking this website from those poor innocent 13 year olds. Such bunny cruelty knows no bounds :) http://www.keypad.org/bunnies/
Making fun of suicide
I feel that every person is entitled to free speech and this book fits that. However I feel that this book should not be in schools. Children have enough problems as it is. Making fun of suicide makes it seem as if it's no big deal to commit suicide. I read the cartoons and do admit that it is humorous. However I was 13 and 14 when I attempted suicide and I know that I was very fragile and impressionable at that age. This book is not appropriate for any school. I am not opposed to it being in a public library. Yes children could find it there but how often do kids go to a public library since they have a library in the school?
I understand the mothers' feelings but there are much better ways she could handle this situation. She could gather like minded mothers to gather and have a parent and school district meeting to talk about their concerns. She is only making things worse for herself and her son this is going to put unwanted attention on her son, and she is going to be forced to pay for the book for not returning it.
How controversial.
Well, this is on the topic of suicide which, I think is the worst thing a human can do, especially to theirselves. Elementary kids are too young for this book, especially if they're illformed and curious, and of course, all kids are curious. The book isn't informative either. Kids can't learn anything except how to take a life. But kids should have fun and start having an idea of the world and it's gruesomeness. So, sure. Let the elementaries have this book, but keep it on a high shelf and watch it very carefully. Maybe have a teacher read it, or have a guardian with the kid who would want to read this. Make sure the kids don't read it by themselves, and that they know suicide is permanent. Let the elementary schools have it, but take really, really close precaution and strong restrictions. And like, also, let the parents know about it, too, just so it won't be a complete shock. Maybe even have parental permission just to check the book out. You know. Just be safe. Kids are curious and stuff. Don't take their curiosity away from them, but just make sure they're always safe.
I'm fifteen and I say it's cute.
It's not disturbing or unethical or whatever. It's quite simply sardonic.
And adorable. It's actually really funny, and it's really really cute. It makes you want to give the poor things a hug.
Not everybody imitates everything they see, after all. Most of us have more creativity than that.
I'm sick of all the so called "adults" freaking out over the tiniest of things. It's a book, not an instruction manual.
Bluntly, it's retarded. If you think a little book like that is dark, then you must not get out much.
The idea isn't being introduced, it's just been elaborated.
Suicide will always be there, and any kind of taboo that exists in this shameful world we live in just makes things worse.
If you ban this book it just proves all the more that ignorance is running rampant.
So, Miss Perfect Mother,
why don't you try accepting charming-- Yes, charming-- children's books and stay out of the scandals, Mmk?
Ok, I think this is a funny
Ok, I think this is a funny book. I understand that suicide is aproblem, but the book is trying to look at a brighter side of it. And plus, it's just a joke. Jeeze, seriously.
What, exactly, is the
What, exactly, is the "bright side" of suicide?
Both sides are wrong
I think I should point out that kids looking at pictures are not contributing to "reading" rates.
As much as I love the Bunny Suicide books, I agree with this woman that schools shouldn't provide them to kids. Schools shouldn't take any part in something that may desensitize kids toward suicide, death and violence. We have plenty of cultural forces doing that as is.
Yes, students can easily obtain the books in public libraries, book stores and on the internet, but if that's a good reason to make them available in schools, we might as well stock the shelves with porn or books that make fun of a particular race, gender or religion. A case can be made for keeping violent, sexual, potentially offensive or otherwise 'mature' materials in a school library if these have some kind of educational validity; "Bunny Suicides," though funny and entertaining to those mature enough to handle it, doesn't have any educational benefits. The fact that the reasons these books should NOT be in schools outnumber the reasons they SHOULD be in schools should make the answer clear.
That said, if this woman wants to show her concerns are reasonable, stealing and threatening to set fire to the book is the wrong way to go. I have trouble taking people's concerns about exposing children to violence seriously when, on the same breath, they advocate burning stuff out of anger. She should have contacted the school CALMLY and RATIONALLY, without disrespecting its rules and property, and laid out intelligent reasons why she finds the book inappropriate for school.
Seriously? She started a big
Seriously? She started a big uproar to protect the kiddies from this horrific book?
I, like many others, had never heard of this book before she decided she was going to advertise the book with her little stunt.
Teenagers flipping through this book are not just all of a sudden going to decide to kill themselves because there's pictures of bunnies doing it.
When I was 13 and suicidal this book wouldn't have given me any further ideas than what I could already find on the internet or that I'd already seen in movies and on TV shows.
I'm inclined to believe she is of the same opinion and that she is purely doing this for her own publicity. She has clearly stumbled across something which she felt would give her the 15 minutes of fame she has long been waiting for.
Congratulations Taffey and my condolences that you were unsuccessful when applying to appear on Jerry Springer.

text: Two independent films are seeing a limited theatrical release this weekend. The first is a comedy from Oscar-winning director Taylor Hackford (An Officer and a Gentlemen, Ray) titled The Comedian. Robert De Niro stars as an aging insult comic who must learn to adapt his art for the modern world of technology, YouTube, and social media. De Niro is backed by an outstanding supporting cast including Leslie Mann (Knocked Up, The 40-Year-Old Virgin), Danny DeVito (Hoffa, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia), Billy Crystal (When Harry Met Sally, Analyze This), Harvey Keitel (Mean Streets, Reservoir Dogs), Edie Falco (The Sopranos, Nurse Jackie), and Patti Lupone (Witness, City by the Sea). Despite having an impressive cast and director, the film has received incredibly harsh reviews from critics, who complain the potential of the cast and director are overshadowed by asinine, old-school comedy. Judging from the trailer, however, it looks like an entirely crowd-pleasing, worthy-of-the-times comedy, so don't leave it off of your list just because of a few critics with no sense of humor! The Comedian is expected to see an expanded release in early February, so look for it in theaters for a good Valentines date! Continue reading

NM Tech Student Recognized by STC
by Ellen Cline
Albuquerque, N.M., April 24, 2007 — New Mexico Tech senior JW McFarland was presented with a certificate and a scholarship check for $250 at a ceremony held April 21 at the University of New Mexico. Jonathan Price, Society for Technical Communication (STC) Kachina Chapter President, made the presentation to McFarland, as well as to top technical communication students from UNM and NMSU, Students were selected for their outstanding academic work in the technical communications programs and their contribution to the school's programs.
A major in Technical Communication with a minor in Electrical Engineering, McFarland is President of the New Mexico Tech chapter of the Society for Technical Communication, and participates in student government. He is a member of Sigma Tau Chi, the STC's National Student Honor Society.
Rick Mott, associate professor of technical communication at New Mexico Tech, says, "JW McFarland has been a tremendous asset to the Technical Communication program at New Mexico Tech because of his contributions in the classroom, on the campus, and in his home community."
JW has served as the Public Information Officer for the NMT Student Senate; as the advertising manager for the university's newspaper, Paydirt; as a longtime (7 years) production editor for a small, community newspaper in Alamogordo, N.M., and as a technical writer for a Socorro-area business named iniCom.
Following the ceremony, a group of students asked questions of a panel of professional technical communicators about careers, resumes, and portfolios. Responding to student questions were panelists from the Kachina Chapter: Bob Johnson, Ktech; Sheina North, SAIC; MaryJane Long, BIA; and Ellen Cline, freelance writer. Representing UNM was Scott Sanders.
About STC: STC is an individual membership organization dedicated to advancing the art and science of technical communication. It is the largest organization of its type in the world. Its 18,000 members include technical writers and editors, content developers, documentation specialists, technical illustrators, instructional designers, academics, information architects, usability and human factors professionals, visual designers, Web designers and developers, and translators — anyone whose work makes technical information available to those who need it.

All over the world today Scots of all kinds are celebrating the poet Robbie Burns's 250th birthday.
Robert Burns: 25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796
Above is a photo of Alloway Kirk in South Ayrshire, Scotland, the supposed setting for one of Burns' famous poems, 'Tam O' Shanter', and the resting place of Burns' father, William.
Although William Burns' Alloway headstone mentions Agnes Brown (or Broun), Burn's mother, she was not buried here. Her grave at Bolton in East Lothian, Scotland is being restored by the Grants Braes Burns Club.
Burns himself was buried in St. Michael's churchyard at Dumfries, Scotland on the 25th July, 1796. Some years after his death, a mausoleum was built and, in 1815, his remains were interred there.

Battle of Karbalāʾ, (October 10, 680 [10th of Muharram, ah 61]), brief military engagement in which a small party led by al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad and son of ʿAlī, the fourth caliph, was defeated and massacred by an army sent by the Umayyad caliph Yazīd I. The battle helped secure the position of the Umayyad dynasty, but among Shīʿite Muslims (followers of al-Ḥusayn) the 10th of Muharram (or ʿĀshūrāʾ) became an annual holy day of public mourning.
When Yazīd I succeeded his father, Muʿāwiyah I, to the caliphate in the spring of 680, the many partisans of Muhammad's late cousin and son-in-law ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib—who collectively felt that leadership of the Muslim community rightly belonged to the descendants of ʿAlī—rose in the city of Al-Kūfah, in what is now Iraq, and invited al-Ḥusayn to take refuge with them, promising to have him proclaimed caliph there. Meanwhile, Yazīd, having learned of the rebellious attitude of the Shīʿites in Al-Kūfah, sent ʿUbayd Allāh, governor of Al-Baṣrah, to restore order. The latter did so, summoning the chiefs of the tribes, making them responsible for the conduct of their people, and threatening reprisal. Al-Ḥusayn nevertheless set out from Mecca with all his family and retainers, expecting to be received with enthusiasm by the citizens of Al-Kūfah. However, on his arrival at Karbalāʾ, west of the Euphrates River, on October 10, he was confronted by a large army of perhaps 4,000 men sent by ʿUbayd Allāh and under the command of ʿUmar ibn Saʿd, son of the founder of Al-Kūfah. Al-Ḥusayn, whose retinue mustered only 72 fighting men, gave battle, vainly relying on the promised aid from Al-Kūfah, and fell with almost all his family and followers. The bodies of the dead, including that of al-Ḥusayn, were then mutilated, only adding to the consternation of later generations of Shīʿites.
Though it was a rash expedition, it did involve the grandson of the Prophet and thus many members of the Prophet's family. Al-Ḥusayn's devout partisans at Al-Kūfah, who by their overtures had been the principal cause of the disaster, regarded it as a tragedy, and the facts gradually acquired a romantic and spiritual colouring. ʿUmar, ʿUbayd Allāh, and even Yazīd came to be regarded by ʿAlī's supporters as murderers, and their names have ever since been held accursed by Shīʿite Muslims. Shīʿites observe the 10th of Muharram as a day of public mourning; and, among Iranians especially, as well as in Karbalāʾ, passion plays (Arabic taʿziyyah) are enacted, representing the misfortunes of the family of ʿAlī. The tomb of the decapitated martyr al-Ḥusayn at Karbalāʾ is their most holy place.

The real estate market of Downtown Brickell has experienced consistently high growth figures, for the past several years, these growth figures have consistently hovered around double digit figures. This has also led to an unprecedented boom, in the construction of condominiums in this region. The good news for Brickell Avenue real estate investors is that the condominiums continue to sell at the same unprecedented rates, at which they are being constructed. In fact there are frequent instances of condominiums selling out completely within a few days.
The rate at which urban redevelopment and transformation is undergoing currently at Downtown Miami, is going to turn it into an entirely different and maybe unrecognizable city in a few years. Real estate pundits have predicted that over the next ten years, the Greater Miami real estate market would witness the introduction of about 90 new, high-end, Miami condo buildings.
They will come up chiefly in areas such as Downtown Miami, Brickell, the Miami Design District, Brickell Keys, Wynwood, Edgewater, and Coral Gables. Apart from that, there are projects that involve the construction of promenades, shopping centers, offices and condos which are contributing heavily to giving an entirely new look to the Miami Brickell Avenue real estate market.
Brickell Condos, a Great Place to Live
If you would like to invest in condominiums in Downtown Miami area, then irrespective of the fact, whether you are new in the market or you are an experienced investor, you should consult professionals who have the expertise and background, as well as extensive resources that would help you achieve your real estate goals. However, finding a real estate agent who has the experience and skills, required to help you achieve your goals, can turn out to be as challenging a process, as the buying of your home. You should look for a real estate agent who can offer you a full range of real estate and other associated services, which can be customized to meet varying requirements of individual clients.
A well established real estate agent in Brickell Avenue can also help you in selling your property, as they would have a well connected international network of eligible buyers, and they would be able to market your Miami condo to this huge network of willing buyers.
Downtown Miami Condos, Where Some of the Best Miami Real Estate Deals Are
Brickell is synonymous with elegant living and convenient location. It is the heart of the city where all the mayor banks and some corporate headquarters have established themselves. It is also the place where fine dining and business people gathering come together. But Brickell is also the place that many call home due to its great location close to all that the beautiful city of Miami offers. Very close to Brickell is the remarkable American Airlines Arena where concerts and mayor sports events take place almost every week. The spectacular Beaches of South Beach are just a short five minutes drive away.
It is in this part of this great city where some of the most astonishing luxury residential Miami condos can be found. Surprising high-rise condominiums like the Santa Maria, the Plaza, the Icon Brickell, the Jade, the Ivy and the Bristol Tower are located in this unique setting. Some of the best views in the city can be appreciated from the impressive Brickell condos. The Performing Arts Center is just a short distance away. Brickell is where people can have it all walking distance in a city sometimes accustomed to the excessive use of car.
Other distinctive and wonderful new condos like the Icon Brickell have raised the bar and offer their residents a self contained mini city experience in the heart of the city. Icon Brickell is one of the most unique and best Brickell condos ever built, it has no comparison. The structure is so big that it contains a hotel component, five restaurants, the largest residential swimming pool in Florida, a night club, a world class spa, a state of the art gym, and of course incredible waterfront residences with amazing views of the city and Biscayne Bay. Brickell condos are definitively a great place to call home.

The Texans have wrapped up deals with rookie safety D.J. Swearinger and offensive tackle Brennan Williams, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reported Monday.
The Texans now have their entire nine-player draft class under contract.
A second-round pick from South Carolina, Swearinger will compete for playing time at a position where the Texans must replace the capable Glover Quin (now with Detroit) and are waiting for Ed Reed to return from hip surgery.
Williams, a third-round selection from North Carolina, is among Houston's options at right tackle. He missed time in the offseason with a knee injury.

Star Wars Darth Vader Lightsaber BBQ Fork
Don't burn the hotdogs!
- BBQ like Darth Vader
- The handle looks just like Vader's lightsaber hilt
- A ThinkGeek creation and exclusive!
Darth Vader loves nothing more than a grilled weenie, and the brand he likes best is Coruscant National (hey, they answer to a higher power: the Emperor). When Vader grills, he insists on using his favorite BBQ fork. You know, the one that looks like his lightsaber hilt? The one that we're calling the Star Wars Darth Vader Lightsaber BBQ Fork.
The Star Wars Darth Vader Lightsaber BBQ Fork is a perfect blend of summer tools and Star Wars. The hilt looks just like Vader's saber hilt, but it's scaled down a little bit to better fit in your hand. And, we've added a secondary hanging ring, so it can hang fork down (for safety). Kinda funny, if you think about it, that Darth Vader would like BBQing, since that's sort of why he needs the full body suit. Mmmm... Mustafar BBQ... drooool.
Product Specifications
- Perfect for the Jedi griller in your life
- Luke's dad likes BBQing, too. Whoops, spoilers
- A ThinkGeek creation and exclusive!
- Officially-licensed Star Wars BBQ paraphernalia
- Secondary hanging handle (so the fork hangs downward)
- Materials: Stainless steel
- Care Instructions: Hand wash only
- Dimensions: 1.5" diameter (at it's widest point) x 20" long
- Shipping restriction: We cannot ship this item outside the US and Canada

Maybe it's because it's election season, or maybe it's just because disagreement is part of the academic experience, but we've found that our cutting-edge journalism has led to great debate amongst the students. For that reason, we are launching our new feature, Point/Counterpoint, where we get students to offer their opinions on controversial campus topics. This issue, we pit two opposing perspectives on the library against each other with New Renovations and Services at the Cofrin Library Make it a Great Place to Study vs. Where is the Library?
New Renovations and Services at the Cofrin Library Make it a Great Place to Study.
I have long been a fan of the Cofrin Library, having used it as a nice spot to study for the past three years. It's a quiet and comfortable location for reading, setting up my laptop (or even checking out one of theirs) to get some writing done, or even getting help on a paper from one of the librarians. However, some of the new services and renovations at the Cofrin Library have made it even better! It seems like every year, the search databases get easier to use and make it possible to find whatever resources I'm looking for. Plus, the new Miller Reading Room makes for a relaxed, quiet place to get through some of those extra tough readings.
Where is the Library?
I have heard of this place called "the library" but have never actually seen it. In fact, until recently, I was under the impression that the library was just a website where I could search for articles when my professors refused to let me use Wikipedia. Now, I'm being told it's actually a physical structure on campus, much like the Union (but where food and drinks are not allowed and people whisper). Apparently, some students go there to study, and others go there to pick up books and articles that cannot be found on-line. Anyway, if someone could just point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

Flagella, allowing bacteria to move in a fluid environment, attached to the membrane covering the bacteria's cell surface, and their whiplike movement allows the bacteria to swim quickly from place to place.
Bacteria acquire immunity in a very short time by passing their resistant genes on to one another.
These flagella have long been known about, but only in the last 10 years has their structure been observed carefully, to the surprise of the scientific world. Contrary to what had been supposed, the undulation of the flagellum is not the result of a simple mechanism, but of a very complex organic motor.
The bacterium's flagellum is mechanically similar to electric motors. There are two main movements: a moving rotor and a non-moving stator.
This organic motor is different from other systems that cause organic movement. The cell does not use the energy stored in it in the form of ATP molecules; it uses energy from acids in its membrane. The inner structure of the motor is highly complex: About 240 different proteins make up the flagellum, and these have been put in place with a perfect mechanical design. Scientists have determined that these proteins send signals that start and stop the flagellum, that their articulations allow movement at the atomic level or set in motion the proteins that attach the flagellum to the cell membrane. Models constructed to make it simpler to understand the motor's functioning have not been sufficient to explain its complexity.
The flagellum possesses a structure that cannot be simply explained, and its complex structure of bacterium's flagellum is enough to show the invalidity of the theory of evolution. If there were any deficiency in the number or quality of any of the molecular particles in its makeup, the flagellum could not function and would be useless to the bacterium. The flagellum must have functioned perfectly from the moment it came into existence.
This proves once again that the evolutionist claims of stage-by-stage development in untenable. And so far, no evolutionist biologist has tried to explain the origins of these flagella, which also show the important fact that bacteria, thought by evolutionists to be the "most primitive of life forms", have an extraordinarily complex structure.2009-08-12 17:45:48

Westminster City Council has announced the creation of a framework to deliver ICT to three London boroughs, inviting suppliers to tender for the delivery of service desk IT systems.
Westminster is leading a group of council authorities, also including Hammersmith and Fulham and Kensington and Chelsea authorities, seeking suppliers through a procurement contract published by Westminster this week.
Succersful suppliers will be required to provide an integrated service desk solution, end user computing, as well as data centre services to provide infrastructure as service (IaaS) to the three councils. Additional services may be included for successful suppliers at a later date.
The services will need to be put in place by November 2014 for Westminster, October 2016 for Hammersmith and Fulham, with a date set for Kensington and Chelsea determined "by business case". Invitation documents are now available from Westminster council.
The procurement process is expected to begin in April, with the framework divided into three lots. A contract cost for the framework has not yet been announced.
Westminster announced earlier this week that it would be pairing with the two other boroughs for the delivery of HR and finance services. The deal is expected to save Westminster £30 million by moving to a new supplier, with BT being awarded a contract for migration to new systems and ongoing managed services.
The three councils joined together in 2011 in an attempt to reduce IT contract costs by jointly procuring and sharing services. The councils previously announced that the merger is intended to deliver significant savings through a number of measures such as "rationalisation" of IT staff across respective workforces, consolidation of data centres, and a move towards increased use of cloud computing.

YORK, PA – The York College wrestling program is set to host the 2014 NCAA Division III Mideast Regional at the M&T Bank Field House at the Grumbacher Sport & Fitness Center in York, PA on Sunday, March 2.
The Spartans welcome 16 other teams to York to compete in the one day, double-elimination tournament. The top three winners in each weight class will advance to the national championship tournament on March 14 & 15 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Elizabethtown returns as the defending regional champion but are unranked coming into the regional. Messiah is the top ranked squad at the regional as they are currently third in the country. SUNY Brockport is ranked 18th while the University of Mount Union is right behind them at 19. Heidelberg checks in at 23rd while Waynesburg is 27th. Thiel is the sixth ranked squad in the tournament as they are 29th in the country.
The tournament features 17 nationally ranked wrestlers. The 125-pound class is loaded with a trio of ranked grapplers. Messiah's Lucas Malmberg is fourth with Brockport's Matthias Ellis is sixth and Baldwin Wallace's Jesse Gunter is seventh.
There are two ranked wrestlers in 141, 157, 165, 174, and 197 pound weight classes.
The tournament features seven returning champions from the 2013 Regional tournament at Ohio Northern. Brockport's Ellis is 22-5 and the defending champion at 125 pounds. York's Joey Giaccio (Cranford, N.J/Cranford) is the defending champ at 133 as he enters the tournament with a mark of 21-7. Elizabethtown's Jesse Meaney has been limited this year with a mark of 7-2 but he is the returning champion at 141 pounds. John Carroll's Terner Gott is the returning champ at 157 and he has been very good in 2014 with a mark of 21-4. Waynesburg's Sam Guidi won the 165-pound class last year despite being the eighth seed in the weight class in Ada. Guidi has followed up last year's performance with a mark of 25-8 in 2014. Messiah's Josh Thompson has been a beast this year at 184 after winning last year's regional title. Thompson is a stellar 37-4 heading into Sunday's action. Brockport's John Wilkinson is the returning heavyweight champion as he has accumulated a mark of 27-4 this year.
The three weight classes without a defending champion are 149, 174, and 197.
Here is a preview of each team in the order that they finished at last year's regional (finish and point total in parenthesis).
ELIZABETHTOWN (1st – 101 points)
Elizabethtown, which qualified five individuals for the NCAA Division III Championships in 2013, has had a much tougher go of it in 2013-14. Injuries have forced the Blue Jays to alter their lineup on a match-to-match and tournament-to-tournament basis, with the team never really being able to wrestle at its peak. The Blue Jays are led by senior and returning All-American Julian Meaney (184 lbs.), who placed fourth at nationals a year ago. Meaney is sure to be one of the most dangerous wrestlers in the bracket, capable of knocking off anyone, but health has been an issue. He's only wrestled two matches all season.
Sophomore Chad Lammer (11-6), a returning national qualifier at 133, is back in that bracket for the Mideast Regional after splitting time at 133 and 141 during the regular season. 165-pounder Zeke Zimmer (18-11) was fourth at 174 at last year's regional tournament, barely missing out on a trip to nationals. Senior Kyle McNulty (125 lbs.) is the most seasoned of E-town's entries, having wrestled 96 times with a 54-42 career record. He is 18-9 in 2013-14.
MOUNT UNION (2nd – 93 points)
The 19th ranked Mount Union Purple Raiders finished second at the Mideast Regional a year ago and again look to contend in 2014. Jon Garrison, the Raiders lone returning national qualifier from a year ago, enters this week with 30 wins and is ranked No. 7 nationally at 157 pounds. Jeremy Border has 23 wins and is ranked No. 5 in the nation at 133 pounds while Nick Rajcsak at 197 pounds also has 23 wins and went undefeated in Ohio Athletic Conference matches as Mount Union's other top wrestlers.
SUNY BROCKPORT (3rd – 83.5 points)
The College at Brockport Wrestling team enters the 2014 Mideast Regional with four returning national qualifiers including returning All-American Matthias Ellis. The Golden Eagles also return with 2013 national qualifier Jordan Dyer who qualified at 141 pounds as a freshman and now wrestles at 149 as a sophomore. Heavyweight John Wilkinson qualified last year and returns after missing the first semester of the season. Senior 197-pounder Paul Glover was a national qualifier in 2012 before sitting out all of 2013. Brockport also sports a solid list of contenders at other weights with freshman Roy Daniels as the #8 ranked wrestler in the country at 165 pounds and senior James McCabe who has won 18 matches at 133 pounds this season for the Golden Eagles. Brockport has won five National Championships and has had over 130 All-American wrestlers under head coach Don Murray in his 45th season at the helm.
HEIDELBERG (4th – 75.5 points)
Third year head coach Ned Shuck brings five nationally ranked Student Princes to the Mideast Regional to represent Heidelberg University wrestling and the Ohio Athletic Conference. D3wrestle.com ranks Heidelberg sophomores Nino Majoy and Colin McDermitt at ninth and tenth at 285 and 133-pounds respectively. 125-pounder Delian Schneider, 165-pounder Jeremy Stepp and 197-pounder Jason Russell have all been in d3wrestle.com's rankings throughout the course of the 2013-14 season. Shuck will look to the experience of Schneider and 184-pounder Richard Dowdley in York, as the duo are the only two returning NCAA qualifiers. This season, the Heidelberg University wrestling team conquered the OAC and secured their second consecutive conference title under Shuck. After finishing 5-0 in conference dual action and 13-10 overall, the Berg grapplers laid claim to the seventh OAC regular season championship in program history.
MESSIAH (Tied for 5th – 73.0 points)

He will be joined by senior team captain Anthony Bonaventura, who boasts a 31-3 mark, all at 174 pounds, and junior Sam Guidi, who won the 165-pound championship at last year's Mideast Regional tournament.

Other individuals to watch for the Orange and Black include senior 157-pounder Sam Lombardo (15-9), senior 184-pounder Cameron Fine (28-8) and sophomore heavyweight Greg Kumer (23-14), who are all mentioned in the D3wrestle.com rankings.

Giaccio went 21-7 during the regular season as he looks for a return trip to the national championship tournament.

York does not have a senior in their starting lineup heading into this year's regional tournament.

He enters the regional with a 26-2 record and was an All-American last year as the 157-pound sixth-place finisher. Sophomore 125-pounder Jacob Spearman is hoping to qualify for the national championships for a second-straight year and is just the 25th Presidents' wrestler to win at least two PAC titles.

Playing for a couple of days now. Got the first four "beat dungeon X with class Y" challenges beat, now stuck in the next ones.
A few insights and suggestions:
[*] Add XP awarded at current level to monster popups.
[*] Have some way to mouse over enemy abilities so I can see exactly what they do.
[*] Some sort of option that disables moves that will knowingly end in death (disconsidering dodge rate), every other time I die is due to misclicking on an enemy.
[*] It seems most dungeons have less monsters and a poorer selection than in the original, so it's much harder to level up.
[*] The bosses are nearly impossible to beat. Pretty much every time I get to the end boss, I can't do anything but stare at it. Things like having 900 HP when I'd be able to deal at most 400 damage with all that I have.
[*] If you're going to drain my gold for me to have minimal bonuses at the dungeon, then admit some grinding is required and include a dungeon full of gold for me to grind away.
[*] The gods all seem unpleasable jackasses that don't return nearly as much as they take, except for Taurog (blessed be).
[*] In general, it seems every upgrade and addition I get makes the game -harder- for me. While I understand the logic, it means I'm reduced to playing every new dungeon with Human Fighter because that's the build that will get anywhere close to defeating a boss.
[*] If the "level up midway through a battle" technique is so fundamental, add a tutorial on it.

Uh oh.
One of the world's biggest Apple fanboys sounds like he might be deserting the company for another.
There are lots of Apple-lovers on the Internet, but few of them are as ardent as MG Siegler, the former TechCrunch staffer who is now a full time VC and part-time columnist.
Siegler once wrote a post for TechCrunch titled: "You're Damn Right I'm A Fanboy."
In the post, Siegler said that he was, at the moment, an Apple fanboy.
But he said that could change.
I've been an Apple fanboy, a Google fanboy, a Twitter fanboy, a Facebook fanboy, a Foursquare fanboy, a Gowalla fanboy, and yes, even a Microsoft fanboy…As always, my only requirement for being a fanboy of a product is that it has to (in my mind) be the best. Right now, in some cases those are Apple products.
But that's the funny thing about being a fanboy — you can be a fanboy of anything. You can switch your alliances at a moments notice. There is nothing tying you to the love of a certain product. As I've written numerous times before, in the 1990s I would have been called a Microsoft fanboy — I loved Microsoft products and hated Apple ones. Today, I'm called an Apple fanboy. Times change. And they'll change again.
Well, late last night (not so late on the West Coast, where MG is based), Siegler began to make noises on Twitter that indicate he might be about to change his allegiances.
His new love might be Google.
His inspiration: Google's new touchscreen laptop, The Pixel, which launched yesterday.
The Pixel, which runs Google's Chrome OS, is a rival to Apple's MacBook Air.
It costs ~$1300 and has the best, brightest screen of any laptop in the world. It doesn't run any Mac or PC apps, though. Just Web stuff. ( See big beautiful pictures of it here.)
Here is what Siegler had to say about it in a series of tweets:
Yeah, this thing is a winner. No real qualifiers needed. People will balk at the price but the screen is amazing. A couple body quibbles. — MG Siegler (@parislemon) February 22, 2013
Siegler even responded to a challenging question from another gadget writer, Wirecutter's Brian Lam, who wrote:
@parislemon are you sure you're not thinking theoretical/future vs right now? — brian lam (@blam) February 22, 2013
@blam I mean I'm 30 mins in but yeah, it's just a really solid laptop. fast as fuck for the web. great screen. touch fun but we'll see. — MG Siegler (@parislemon) February 22, 2013
Siegler is very vocal about still loving all of his Apple products. He tweets about his iPad, iPhone, and Macbooks all the time.
But he's clearly impressed with Google right now.
You have to wonder if he's a canary in the coal mine for Apple.
Google is one step away from becoming the world's most innovative, exciting company. It's working on Google Glass, self-driving cars, and now getting into hardware.
The next step is wide consumer adoption of those technologies.
It's a big step. One that Apple has taken, obviously.
One of the Internet's other big Apple bloggers echoed this thought in his reaction to the Pixel.
John Gruber said: "$1299 for a laptop that only runs Chrome, with janky touchscreen scrolling. Great idea. I bet it outsells the Nexus Q."
The Nexus Q was Google's most recent attempt at selling a set-top box for TV. It was revealed with much fanfare last summer - but it was quickly discontinued after very few sales.

2013 nissan sentra Model Overview
The 2013 Nissan Sentra isn't a vehicle worth getting excited over, but for the average compact car buyer who wants a car that will get them from point A to point B, the Sentra may prove to be the right fit. While the Sentra's performance numbers aren't going to draw buyers in, its value, fuel economy, and reliability are the strongest selling points of the new-for-2013 Sentra, which also features an updated exterior and interior.
For starters, the 2013 Sentra has a new engine and transmission, a version of Nissan's 1.8-liter inline-four cylinder engine mated to an updated version of its continuously variable transmission (a six-speed manual continues to remain available for the base Sentra). At 130 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque, it is just behind the Corolla as the least-powerful car in its class. It also barely beats the Corolla with a 0-60 mph time of 9.6 seconds, meaning it's the second-slowest car in its class. It's no surprise it was also one of the slowest in its class around our figure-eight course, pulling one of the lowest average g numbers in the process. In a recent comparison test involving five compact sedans, the CVT-equipped Sentra finished last behind the Honda Civic, Dodge Dart, Mazda3, and Kia Forte. The Sentra performed poorly in the handling department, receiving constant complaints over understeer, body roll, and lifeless steering.
It wasn't all bad, though. Testers said the 2013 Sentra felt roomier than a compact should, with a massive rear seat that's unusual for a compact sedan. They also noted its "top-notch" interior materials and oversized trunk. The optional NissanConnect navigation system is also intuitive and easy to use, thanks to the simplified functions that makes pairing a phone and inputting an address child's play. The Sentra is EPA-rated at 30/39 mpg on the city/highway, at the top end of the class for city fuel economy and right on par with the competition for highway efficiency. There's a "higher performance" SR sport model, however the only performance upgrade it gets are rear disc brakes, which are otherwise available only with the leather seat option.
New for 2013
The 2013 Nissan Sentra is all-new for 2013. It's bigger, with a new exterior and interior. Nissan also reduced the new 2013 Sentra's weight, and adopted the familiar trapezoidal front grille with a chrome surround and horizontal bars. Its headlights also come with standard LED running lights.
You'll Like
- Not needing to visit the pump as much
- Midsize-like interior space
- Lower price point
You Won't Like
- Noisy engine
- Elastic-y CVT
- Numb steering

We've seen some great projection mappings from NuFormer before. Here is a demo video of their latest technology which shows new interactive techniques combined with 3D video mapping. This latest addition of technology adds to the experience of the spectators by letting them interact with the projection. All types of branded content, logos or product placement can be incorporated in these interactive projection applications.
During this interactive projection test the spectators became the controller and interacted realtime with the building by using gesture based tracking (Kinect). Users could influence the content by using an iPad, iPhone or webbased application on both mobile phone and computers. For this test Facebook interactivity was used but any type of social media can be incorporated into the projection.
This is an exciting development for projection mapping and we're looking forward to seeing this featured in some great camapigns.
