A stone's throw from Prague Castle, at the top of Nerudova Street or King's Road, Hotel Neruda - named after a 19th-century writer and philosopher - hides its light under a bushel. What a welcome change in this exuberant city of a hundred spires, sights and sounds. You would be forgiven for assuming that the genteel chocolate-box facade spells olde-worlde lodgings. Inside, however, contemporary design cool contrasts starkly with the quaint exterior.
A striking balance of old and new is maintained throughout: the occasional carriage clock or ornate mirror stand out against the clean white lines and dark woods that characterise Neruda. The millennium makeover complements the character of this 1348 building, and the new wing offers more availability. The owners pride themselves on the efforts made to blend this happening hotel into the yesteryear appeal of Mala Strana, while the unfailingly helpful staff are an added bonus.
All 42 rooms are bright and light, combining dark woods and natural fabrics to soothe and satisfy the design-aware. Each is of a slightly different design and layout, and this is why we love the place!
Small Standards, as the name suggests, are the smallest so we'd only recommend them for a night or two. The Standard rooms offer spacious bathrooms, with modern design and trimmings. The attic rooms are particularly fetching, with stylish egg-like tubs tucked amid the beams and eaves.
The Superior and Deluxe rooms are larger, with views of the cobbled street below. They have incredible soaking tubs, which are great after a day of sightseeing.
The buffet breakfast includes croissants, cereals, fruit salad, a variety of hams and cheese, various breads, toast and jams, eggs (fried - ask for scrambled if you prefer), frankfurter sausages, cakes and cereal bars. All washed down with a choice of fruit juices, and bottomless cups of coffee or tea (if you can make your mind up from the astonishing array of varieties).
Prague Chocolate Cafe & Bistro is the perfect spot for Kaffee und Kuchen, and the hot chocolates are some of the best in town. There's also a savoury menu featuring ham and cheese platters, salads, quiches and soups, and a waffle menu to satisfy both sweet and savoury taste buds. Save room for a handmade praline to top off your meal!
For a more substantial dinner, there are plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. Ask the hotel for recommendations.
Children are welcome, but the hotel isn't really set up for youngsters as extra beds are limited.
Extra beds or baby cots can be set up in Superior Rooms with view and Design Deluxe rooms.
Hotel Neruda is next to Prague's Castle along one of the city's prettiest streets in the centrally located Old City.
Vaclav Havel Airport Prague (14km) is nearest.
The airport is 30 minutes from the hotel by taxi. You may prefer to use public transport (combination of bus, metro and tram), which takes 45-50 minutes (depending on traffic). Note that the hotel is located on a hill, so if you have a heavy suitcases the hotel taxi is more convenient.
The rooms are quite small, but overall the hotel is nice and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The local area is very touristy.
We loved our stay at Hotel Neruda. It is located in a beautiful peaceful location just below the castle and a short walk from Charles bridge. Beautifully decorated and charming; excellent breakfasts; delightful staff and great value. We would highly recommend it and would certainly return.
Lovely hotel, and although we had a small room it was nicely presented and fun - lovely art work. More importantly the staff and attention to service was excellent. Great advice on local restaurants, attentive on all queries we had and arranged a wonderful Spa in the hotel. Also the hotel is a great location on the romantic side of Prague.
Great location, very friendly and efficient staff. Intriguing and largely successful integration of modern design within a very old and constrained building. Not sure the bathroom arrangements in the room worked quite well enough. The bath was difficult to get in and out of and the translucent glass of the toilet door and wall did not sit well with this Brit's sensitivities.
Ideal location for exploring Prague. Lovely attentive staff and the great weekend getaway.
Lovely little hotel, great position close to Prague castle, extremely helpful staff, nice breakfast, close to lots of superb little restaurants and bars which are much quieter and cheaper than the ones closer to Prague main square. Only thing that could be better is somewhere to hang clothes up in the room. Really great place to stay.
Amazing building and the rooms have been incorporated beautifully. We found the "spa" facilities a little disapointing.

Q: Pass a value from powershell to TFS Build Workflow I have a build which kicks off a PowerShell script. What it does is gather code coverage metrics and then stores that info in a database. I'd like to pass a value out of that script and back into the build workflow so I can pass or fail the build based on that value.
Any ideas on how I could accomplish that?

A: Easiest way is to have PowerShell throw an exception. That will also cause Powershell to return a non-0 exit code. In your InvokeProcess you can either handle the Error stream or have the Result parameter assigned to a variable on your build workflow, then follow that with an if block to pass or fail the build.
Or you can return the coverage outcome using the exit function, it will be assigned to the Result property of the InvokeProcess Activity.
exit 12345;

Some tribute artists look like their idol, some sound like their idol. Paul Bacon as Elton John does both! Close your eyes and you won't believe your ears, open your eyes and you won't believe them either! You simply won't find a closer tribute to Sir Elton John.
A lifelong Elton John fan, Paul first started singing and performing Elton's songs whilst studying Performing Arts at University in the early 1980's. With an extraordinarily similar singing voice to Sir Elton's, Paul is able to draw on an amazing back catalogue of hits to produce a truly wonderful celebration of Elton's music. Paul's performances often feature some of Elton's actual clothes, bought from his 'Out the Closet' sales.
Elton John's extraordinary repertoire means that Ultimate Elton can serenade an audience with some of the most beautiful ballads ever written, including Your Song, Candle in the Wind, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, Sacrifice and Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word. He can also change the pace and get people on the dance floor with classics like Crocodile Rock, I'm Still Standing, The Bitch is Back and Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting. Ultimate Elton's challenge is often not what to play, but what to leave out!

Home Calendar Regional and Urban Design: Sweeney Park
Regional and Urban Design: Sweeney Park
Join the RUD committee as they present the master plan for Jean Sweeney Park! We will also have Alice Sung, AIA, LEED AP, BD+C, ISSP-SA, host a "24 Hours of Reality Climate Presentation" to kick-off the RUD committee monthly meeting.
Alice will join former US Vice President Al Gore and The Climate Reality Project for 24 Hours of Reality: Truth in Action, in an abbreviated global conversation about the climate crisis and its solutions in communities around the world, with the hopes of inspiring future local action. Her presentation will focus on the local impacts and solutions of the climate crisis that architects, design professionals, builders and home or building owners can effect in the Bay Area, especially as they relate to radically reducing our carbon emissions in the face of the climate crisis, as evidenced by recent flooding and wildfire/Public Safety Power Shut-off events.
For one full day, over 1,000 Climate Reality Leaders will join Vice President Gore by presenting across the globe in community centers, places of worship, homes, schools, businesses, and even on social media. Climate Reality Leaders will put truth into action and bring the hopeful message about today's climate solutions directly to their colleagues, friends, family, and neighbors. Those who attend the presentations will have the option to have a tree planted on their behalf through a collaboration between The Climate Reality Project and One Tree Planted. For more information about this year's 24 Hours of Reality: Truth in Action, visit 24hoursofreality.org.
After Alice's presentation, we will have Kristoffer Köster, Vice President & Associate Principal at SB Architects in San Francisco, discuss master plans for a park in Alameda. Jean Sweeney Open Space Park is a 25-acre parcel in the City of Alameda which is being built in 3-phases over the Southern Pacific Railroad. Phase 1 was completed this past year and opened on December 15th, 2018. The park on the west side of the island opened with active uses such as a natural based playground, picnic pavilion, open lawn area, a gazebo (from one of the last Alameda Belt Line train waiting platforms), a plaza, small picnic areas, landscape with California native and drought-tolerant plants, and a segment of the Cross Alameda Trail which will connect bicyclists and pedestrians as part of the Bay Trail that runs through Alameda. Future phases will include a community garden, bike skills loop, demonstration gardens, outdoor classroom, and hiking trails through the center more "passive zone".
The park was created because of the tireless efforts of an Alamedean resident, Jean Sweeney, who used to hike through the abandoned property on weekends. Since the parcel had been decommissioned in the late 1990s by the railroad, developers had eyed the property for housing. Jean Sweeney fought them, and went to Sacramento to look through the city archives. The original contract which she found had stipulated that the city was entitled to purchase the land back at the original purchase price plus improvements. The land was valued over $20 million and the city thus was able under a ballot measure to purchase the land for under $1 million. The process to develop the land into a park exemplified the deep-rooted commitment for parks and open space in Alameda. Köster generously donated his time in order to provide the first master plan which was approved by City Council, the Planning Board and the Parks and Recreation Board to bring the first phase of the park to fruition.
This event is free and open to the public. Anyone who is interested and wants to learn more should come by! We hope to see you there!

Does history narrate only 'his-story'? One Joan of Arc in the west or Sultana Razia in the east...too insignificant in number they are in comparison to the millions of great male heroes since the heroic ages of Homer. Except the legendary mention of the 'Amazons' or 'warrior women', women's role has been confined to mere reproduction and household chores over the centuries.
Historically, Bangladeshi women, mostly Bengali in ethnic identity and Muslim in their faith, have possessed very little space in outer world. It is only after the partition in 1947 that a comparatively larger number of young Bengali Muslim women began getting enrolled into the universities for higher education. As we know the then East Pakistan had to undergo a series of political dissentions and struggles with the West Pakistan soon after its inception. The entire process commenced with the Dhaka University students' protests to Jinnah's declaration of Urdu as the sole state language of Pakistan in 1948. This conceptual protest ultimately led to death of four students on 21st February in 1952 claiming Bengali to be one of the state languages besides Urdu. Generally, all of us know the names of four great language martyrs namely Salam, Barkat, Rafiq and Zabbar. There are other 'language soldiers' like Bhasa Matin and others still living among us. But, how much we know about the active political involvement of women in the then East Pakistan to vehemently protest the unjust West Pakistani decision? Here are brief sketches of six women who took active participation in the 1952 language movement.
It was women who first defied the curfew under section 144, tore off the police barricade and assembled under the mango tree in the Dhaka University campus premises to join the movement. There were a number of women including Dr Halima Khatun, Dr Sufia Khatun, Rawshan Ara Bachchu, Sufia Ibrahim, Fazilatunnessa, Zulekha, Nuri, Sara Taifur and others among them. Most of the women were, however, schoolgirls. Police charged batons brutally and around eight schoolgirls such as Sufia Ibrahim, Rawshan Ara Bachchu and others got injured. A good number of female students, in addition, were arrested upon this day. This momentum has been well engraved in the acclaimed novel Aar Ek Phalgun (Another Spring) by reputed filmmaker and author Zahir Raihan. Noted intellectual and author Badruddin Umar, in his scholarly book Purba Banglar Bhasa Andolan o Tatkalin Rajniti (The Language Movement of East Pakistan and the Contemporary Politics) provides us with a succinct tale of women's participation in the movement.
It is further known from accounts of Badruddin Umar that people in Narayanganj severely protested the arrest of Mamtaj Begum. They created road barricades by cutting hundreds of trees over few miles to obstruct police from arresting and taking her away. Later the government proposed to this fiery female teacher to sign a bond in exchange of her freedom but she refused. On her refusal, her husband divorced her and even did not allow her daughter to live with her. Mamtaj Begum was also terminated from her school as the school was pro-government. Later she joined another school but could not survive colleague politics and conspiracy for long. She died all alone after many days of hardship, starvation, abandonment and social exclusion as a 'bad woman who had dared to go even to prison and been forsaken by her husband.' Shabnam Ferdousi, a young and talented documentary filmmaker, has interviewed the late female language soldier's daughter in her moving documentary Bhasa Joyeeta. The documentary tells the tales of women who participated in the language movement.
Women took part in demonstration in Narayanganj township whereupon the head mistress of Narayanganj Morgan Girls' School Mamtaj Begum was arrested.
Rawshan Ara Bachchu joined Gonotantrik Pragotishil Chhatra Front (Democratic Progressive Student Front) in 1950 to protest the stifling education policy of the then Pakistan government and a hike in student fees in the University. She was elected as member in both the Women Students Residence Hall and Salimullah Muslim Hall elections. She strongly argued in favour of women's participation in politics in a radio programme on April 1950. She took part in the meeting held in Amtola, Dhaka University on 30 January 1952 to protest Khaja Najimuddin's declaration to make Urdu the sole language of Pakistan on 27 January. After the Pakistan government's declaration on 20 February 1952 to hold any sort of strike, meeting or procession on the coming February 21 to be forbidden, the Dhaka University students assembled under Amtola of the DU Campus and decided to break Section 144 and defy the curfew. Rawshan Ara Bachchu took part in the first group to break the police cordon and she was injured in process.
Pratibha was a schoolgirl in early '50s. Being a student of the Mahamuni Anglo Pali Institution, Pratibha joined the Students' Federation at her school life. She was admitted into Chittagong College in 1951. She joined the demonstrations held in Chittagong city protesting the firing on students in Dhaka in 1952. She was admitted into Dhaka University after the election of Jukta (United) Front in 1954. Section 144 was enforced ont February 21 of 1955. Some female students of Mittford and Medical College were arrested on this day. Pratibha then organised a number of female students' from the then Women's Hall of DU (today's Rokeya hall) and assembled under Amtola of DU. Police charged batons and arrested them. First they were sent to Lalbagh thana and later to the Dhaka Central prison. After two weeks' long detention, Pratibha was released.
Born in Ghatail of Tangail in 1928, Sofia was admitted into Dhaka University as a student of Bengali literature in 1948. She joined Students' Federation and was involved in mobilising female students of Muslim Girls' School, Quamrunnessa School, Banglabazar Girls' School and Eden College in the Language movement. She is one of the survivors of police brutality on February 21, 1952 as she was one of those women to break police curfew in the Dhaka University campus.
Dr Halima Khatun was assigned with the responsibility to mobilise female students from Mulsim Girls' School and Bangla Bazar Girls' School and bring them in the DU Campus to break the section 144. She survived the tear gas and baton charge of police on this fateful day.
Born on December 31 in 1927 in Barisal, Rani Bhattacharya joined a girls' school namely Barisal Jagadish Saraswat School as an assistant teacher in 1951. She joined the Language movement in the same year. On February 21 of 1952, Rani Bhattacharya and her fellow colleague Manjushree Sen organised female students and other teachers of the school and took part in forefront of the demonstration held in Barisal. Later Rani completed a 42-years' career as a teacher and she has been on retirement since 1992. She has been awarded with a number of prestigious awards such as Ekushe Padak and Rokeya Padak and she has been acting President of Barisal Mohila Parisad since 1987.
Daughter of Justice Ibrahim Ahmed, Sufia Ahmed was inspired by her progressive father to love and respect the mother tongue and support the Language Movement. Sufia was a student of Barisal Brojamohan College in 1948 when Jinnah declared Urdu as the sole language of Pakistan. In 1950, Sufia came to Dhaka and got admitted into Dhaka University. She was one of those female forerunners to break section 144 and deny the curfew in DU Campus on February 21, 1952. She is one of the survivors of police brutality including baton charge and tear gas. On November 1952, Sufia travelled to Turkey as one of the 10-member cultural delegation. There she offered songs in Bengali ignoring the opposition of the West Pakistani members of the team to render songs or poetry in Bengali.


Magnesium and green technology go hand-in-hand. As the world grows more aware of the need to sustain and nourish the planet, the demand for magnesium grows, too.
In emerging markets especially, there is demand for more cars even as emission standards get tighter. This is triggering a race to build lighter, more energy-efficient, and recyclable vehicles. Auto industry analysts are on board, saying magnesium may be the right material for the job. It's light. It's adaptable. And it's easy to recycle.
Magnesium's green credentials still need to be confirmed. To tip the verdict, there is a need to reduce its greenhouse-gas footprint in primary production. At the same time, work the process-technology-and-automation options to reduce the cost of getting it to the marketplace.
Working with clients and partners all over the world, we've grown our experience and expertise in the extraction and beneficiation of carbonates, chlorides, and oxide ores of magnesium.
Front-end processing is often the most complex and critical aspect of primary magnesium production. It's here that raw materials are converted into feedstock for the reduction process. Front-end processes are often unique to the specific raw material being mined, and the way they're managed sets the stage for meeting quality requirements further downstream. For example, at the front end, an electrolytic plant may begin with a carbonate but ultimately deliver a chloride.
These encompass high-temperature treatments for oxides that use a reductant such as silicon or aluminum, as well as electrolytic processes that typically process chlorides. We have substantial experience in both routes and the wide range of technologies that exist within each.
We have extensive and recent experience with all casting technologies, and have developed our own in the area of direct chill casting. We customize solutions to suit our clients' unique operations, adding value by combining process, technology, and operations knowledge with proven expertise in project delivery.
The downstream-processing options we offer our clients include strip production via ingot metallurgy or roll casting, forging, punch press forming, and both HPDC and LPDC processes.
Off-gas management is always important. But it becomes critical in electrolytic magnesium plants because of its toxicity and its value as a byproduct. We are experienced in the design of chlorine off-gas handling systems as well as those for other more conventional gases.

(BGF) – At a joint interview with Nihon Keizai Shinbun and The Financial Times, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, underscored his belief that the G7 nations should lead the destabilizing world on a path to peace.
Prime Minister Abe added that cooperation with Russia is indispensable when it comes to combating extremists such as the Islamic State (ISIS) and in dealing with Middle Eastern instability. He has expressed strong interest in visiting Russia before the next G7 convention (Ise Shima Summit) that convenes in May.
He told journalists that the international situation is becoming increasingly unstable due to the rise of ISIS and confusion in Middle East. As the U.S. is becoming more passive in dealing with international affairs, there have been more incidences of international law violations such as Russia's annexation of Crimea and China's expansion in the South China Sea.
The Prime Minister suggested that the G7 Isa Shima Summit cover the uncertain world economy, terrorism, North Korea, problems in the Middle East, radicalism, climate change and the world's poverty stricken population. He urged G7 countries to act in unity to show the world a course of positive action.
He emphasized that the G7 Summit is the place where the champions of freedom, fundamental human rights, and governance by law, and universal rights meet. He acknowledged, however, that it is becoming more difficult for the G7 to solve the problems of terrorism and instability in the Middle East as well as to call for self-restraint by China and Russia. With this in mind, the Prime Minister considers it essential for G7 countries, that share the common values, to unite under the leadership of the United States.
To deal with tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia, as well as the war between Syria and ISIS, it is important, not only to have G7 involvement, but to have constructive involvement by Russia as well. With this in mind Prime Minister Abe suggested he visits Russia or that Russia's President Vladimir Putin visits Japan to further this objective.
He also questioned China's land reclamation in the South China Sea and the one- sided development of natural resources in the East China Sea. The threats China poses to world order are unforgivable, he said adding, that Japan will join in a united front with its allies on this issue.
On the Chinese economy, Prime Minister Abe noted that although fluctuations of RMB and share price in China are wide, the economy is steady and looks forward to steady economic growth.
With regard to North Korea's nuclear test, he said Japan would deliver a resolution in the U.N. calling for effective measures to dissuade North Korea from such actions. Japan will also establish stricter sanctions of its own in response to the nuclear tests. He also said the stage for a meeting with Kim is not yet set and denied any plans to meet Kim Jung Un.
Reducing deflation, which has been a major goal since the start of Abe's second term in office, is expected to occur over time, he said.
Regarding the need for further monetary easing by the Bank of Japan (BoJ), he said that the BoJ and the Government will try their best but the bases are still the policies set out in the three "arrows" of Abenomics.
He considers it is important to increase the productivity through reforms to achieve the three major targets, one of which is 600 trillion yen GDP.
Mr. Katuyoshi Kondoh of Nihon Keizai and Mr. Lionel Barbar of FT conducted the interview, which have since become the same media group.


The American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) bestowed the National Gold Award for Excellence in Concrete Pavement for Urban Divided Highways to Texas Department of Transportation's (TxDOT) Dallas/Fort Worth Connector (DFWC) at the ACPA 26th Annual Banquet, hosted in Bonita Springs, Florida on Dec. 4, 2015.
An independent panel of judges voted for the DFWC over 70 other projects in recognition of high quality workmanship and outstanding project success. Completed ahead of schedule, the project combined physical road improvements, environmental benefits and cost efficiency.
The eight-mile stretch of SH 114/121 had been experiencing traffic congestion due to increasing population and shared right-of-way along several sections of the highway. With total construction time under four years, the DFWC team tackled these issues with the addition of toll, frontage and general purpose lanes, as well as upgrades to portions of four highways, two interchanges and five bridges. Ultimately, in the widest section of the project, the improvements expanded highway capacity from 12 to 24 lanes.
The design-build team faced a set of unique challenges on the DFWC project. For example, the team constructed temporary pavements and detours in such a way to keep all traffic lanes open during peak travel times without adding to congestion. Right-of-way restrictions in the dense urban area created additional complexity, requiring frequent changes to the paving footprint. To avoid delays, the team invested in a specialized Guntert & Zimmerman paver which significantly reduced time spent changing the paving width.
Regarding the pavement design, engineers at The Transtec Group tackled a number of tasks including pavement thickness designs for all elements, advanced CRCP design for toll gantry block-outs, terminal joint designs, pavement transitions and jointing details. "It was challenging accounting for geometry, materials, and climate conditions during placement among other factors, but Transtec was able to provide very innovative solutions," said Transtec's Director of Engineering Mauricio Ruiz.
Innovative technologies included stringless paving, intelligent compaction, mix and materials optimization, ProVAL pavement profile analysis, and COMMAND Center temperature monitoring for mass concrete placement. These strategies ensured long-lasting pavements, cost savings and reduced the project schedule.
Completed more than a year ahead of schedule at a cost of $1.02 billion, the DFWC now provides efficient transportation, with improved air quality thanks to increased capacity and reduced congestion.
The DFWC team was led by developer NorthGate Constructors, a joint venture of Fort Worth-based Kiewit Texas Construction L.P. and San Antonio-based Zachry Construction Corporation. The subconsultant responsible for pavement design was The Transtec Group.

On Monday, we chatted about Gabbert and a few more Missouri prospects.
BTS: I know you're not sold on Gabbert being one of the best players in this draft. What's your take two days from the draft?
Bunting: I think he goes in the top 10 and I think he can go as high as 3 to Buffalo. Arizona�s a possible landing spot. I think Tennessee is. I don�t think San Francisco would be, but I still think he goes in the top 10. I don�t have convictions on him, and you know where I stand. Overall, I think he�s overrated because of the poor quarterback class, but he can still be a solid starter in the NFL if you give this guy some time to mature.
The Bengals are a place I think would be a great fit. They�ve got a young offensive coordinator in Jay Gruden. He�s energetic. He�s worked with quarterbacks throughout his time in the UFL and the Arena League. That�s the kind of guy that could really mesh with a personality like Blaine Gabbert.
BTS: If a team is deciding between Gabbert and Cam Newton, why do you believe Newton's the choice?
Bunting: If they both hit their ceiling, meaning their upside, I think Newton is a little more physically gifted and that�s why you take him. They�re both developmental guys. Obviously, Gabbert is way further ahead of Newton, but at the same time, they�ve both got a lot of developing to do. When you have those kind of questions and you have someone as talented as Newton, you just go with the guy who, if they both hit their potential, gives you the better football player, which I think Newton does.
BTS: A few months ago you told me it would be a big mistake for a team to make Gabbert their starter immediately? Do you still think that's a dangerous risk?
Bunting: Absolutely. This kid, they say he takes snaps under center in practice, but if there�s live bullets flying at you it�s a whole lot different. I just think he doesn�t have a ton of experience and not even a ton of production. When you consider the Missouri offense and look at what Chase Daniel was able to do, he was a better college quarterback than Blaine Gabbert. Now, obviously, Gabbert is much more physically talented. But just bring this guy along slow. And there�s nothing wrong with that. And if you do bring him along slow and you keep his confidence up, I think he can end up being a pretty good player in the NFL. But if you throw this kid to the wolves � he�s gun shy to begin with � I just think it would be really the worst thing for him.
BTS: Besides Cincinnati, where's another place where Gabbert could ideally watch and learn his rookie year?
Bunting: I like Buffalo, too. With Ryan Fitzpatrick there, this is a guy who�s a Harvard grad. He�s smart, he�s savvy, he�s physically gifted enough. I thought, honestly, at the end of the year he was playing good football and he�s a guy you can win games with. I think that would be an ideal situation, a stopgap. You play Fitzpatrick this whole year, maybe even two years. Ideally, you play Fitzpatrick this whole year and you give Gabbert every chance to pick this guy�s brain. He�s a savvy vet. He knows Buffalo. And get Gabbert comfortable with Chan Gailey�s offense and then you let him hit the ground running that following year. That would be an even better situation than putting him to the wolves in Week 8 or 9 behind that Buffalo offensive line and with those receivers. I mean, he�s going to get beat up pretty quickly.
BTS: As for Aldon Smith, do more teams like him as a 4-3 defensive end or a 3-4 outside linebacker? The jury seemed split a month or two ago.
Bunting: It just depends who you talk to. In my opinion, he�s a 4-3 guy. I think that frame can take 280 pounds without losing any athleticism. You play him inside on nickel or on the outside on first, second and third down as well. some teams really like him standing up. They liked him during his pro day workout standing up. So, me personally, I think he�s a little too leggy. I think you�re taking him away � from his ideal skill set. But, hey, there�s a lot of 3-4 defenses out there, and 10 years ago you�d be able to get a Von Miller in the fifth, sixth round because there was no real position for him. Now these guys are top-five picks. These ideal 4-3 guys, which I think Aldon Smith is, are like round pegs trying to fit into a square hole at times. It�s just funny how the NFL changes. Aldon Smith has the versatility to play both, but in an ideal situation, he�s a 4-3 guy.
BTS: What's a mid-round team that could take Smith where he'd be a good fit?
Bunting: Detroit would be awesome for him. They�ve got Kyle Vanden Bosch and Cliff Avril right now. Vanden Bosch is 32 and isn�t going to play forever. But with Aldon Smith, he gives you a potential elite pass rusher on the outside. With (Ndamukong) Suh on the inside, Smith could kick inside for some 3-technique with the nickel, and you've got Cliff Avril who can fly off the edge. So, 13 lading in Detroit with that fast turf, I think he would be a phenomenal fit there.
BTS: There seems to be a glut of 4-3 ends in this draft. What makes Smith a better choice than most others?
Bunting: His natural frame, his long arms. He might not be the most fluid of guys, but he�s got natural change of direction and balance. He�s got a great first step for a big guy, too. He can flatten out off the edge some. I compare pass-rushers to pitchers in baseball, where you need more than just a fastball. You need a changeup, you need a slider, to keep the tackles off balanced. And he has the ability to do that. And he gives you that versatility to play the 3-technique,too. Add all that up and I think he gives you pretty good pass-rusher in the NFL.
BTS: Tim Barnes hasn't gotten much buzz, but you've liked him all along? Still like him?
Bunting: Oh, I do. I have him as the third-rated center in the class and I have him in my top 100 prospects in the draft. He�s later, I think in the 70s or 80s. (He's at No. 84). But I think he can be a good third-, fourth-round value.

Home - General Information - From LIUNA: Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, Proud LIUNA Member, Chosen as Secretary of Labor
From LIUNA: Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, Proud LIUNA Member, Chosen as Secretary of Labor
By nwlett | General Information
President Joe Biden isn't wasting any time in making good on his promise to be the "strongest labor president you've ever had." He's selected Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, a 30-year member of LIUNA Local 223, as the next Secretary of Labor. If confirmed, Mayor Walsh would be the first union member to hold the nation's top labor job in almost 50 years.
LIUNA General
Terry O'Sullivan
Walsh was elected mayor of Boston in 2014 and previously served as both president of Local 223 and the Boston Metropolitan District Building Trades Council. He brings decades of experience with the construction industry and a deep knowledge of the hazards these workers face on the job on a daily basis.
"LIUNA is thrilled that President Biden chose a dues-paying, card-carrying, second-generation Laborer to be the next U.S. Secretary of Labor," says LIUNA General President Terry O'Sullivan. "His dedication and devotion to the labor movement are unquestioned. I'm confident he will be a powerful guardian for the health and safety of working men and women in every corner of this country."
The LHSFNA also congratulates Mayor Walsh on his nomination and is proud that the most visible advocate for safety, health and workers' rights on the job will be one of our own LIUNA members. This is an incredibly important time for workers across the U.S., as the COVID-19 pandemic has put millions of people out of work and caused widespread financial hardship. Millions more workers have continued to put their health at risk on a daily basis in essential and frontline jobs.
If his time as the mayor of Boston is any indication, Walsh is well-suited to handle these challenges. As the COVID-19 pandemic hit Boston, Walsh oversaw the release of sector-specific instructions to guide employers on limiting the spread of the virus and protecting workers. These steps included wearing facial coverings, physical distancing, building healthcare capacity, staggering work shifts and improving ventilation. He's also supported frontline workers by funding emergency child care and other resources essential workers needed during the pandemic.
Prior to the pandemic, Walsh fought for the $15 minimum wage in Boston, helped secure paid family leave for workers and has been a vocal advocate for investing in good-paying union jobs in the clean energy sector. In 2016, when two construction workers were killed in a trench that hadn't been properly protected, Walsh moved quickly to pass an ordinance allowing the city to deny permits based on a company's safety history. Last summer, after the death of George Floyd, Walsh launched several initiatives to increase equity and fight racial injustice in Boston. During his time in office, Mayor Walsh has made it clear that keeping workers safe and respecting workers rights is a requirement for doing business in Boston.
"Working people, labor unions and those fighting every day for their shot at the middle class are the backbone of our economy and of this country," said Walsh after his nomination. "As Secretary of Labor, I'll work just as hard for you as you do for your families and livelihoods. You have my word."
One of Walsh's first tasks as Secretary of Labor will likely be directing OSHA to make a decision about whether to develop and issue an emergency temporary standard for COVID-19. We covered the ongoing push for such a standard throughout 2020, including how federal OSHA's approach to non-binding guidance put worker health at risk and put employers in a difficult position. With President Biden vowing to double the number of OSHA inspectors and ramp up enforcement of existing standards, it's likely that Walsh will have more resources to work with to accomplish the agency's goals.
Marty Walsh has never shied away from his union roots. He is proud of his union background and is dedicated to improving the lives of all working people. His track record in Boston makes that clear. We look forward to seeing what he can accomplish as our next U.S. Secretary of Labor.

Regals Fall Short Against Warriors
Westmont (6-3) 3 17 13 20 53
Cal Lutheran (5-2) 12 8 13 17 50
Pts: TSUNEISHI, Lauren - 17
Ast: RANGER,Maud - 3
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — The California Lutheran University women's basketball team lost to the Westmont College Warriors in a physical non-conference game, 53-50, Saturday afternoon in Gilbert Arena. Both teams fought point for point in the final three quarters of play resulting in a close finish.
The Regals (5-2) took an early lead scoring on their first two possessions and getting three defensive stops in a row. Natalie Ruhl got a defensive rebound and drove end to end for an uncontested layup giving the Regals a 7-2 lead.
Grace Derksen did a little bit of everything for the Violet and Gold. She drew a charge on the defensive end and then nailed a jumper on the offensive side. She added a steal a few possessions later.
The Regals held Westmont to three points in the first quarter and lead 12-3. Kayla Watterson led CLU in points with four during the first quarter, but quickly added two more with an early layup in the second quarter.
The Warriors started to find their rhythm after draining a couple of three-point shots, which narrowed the score gap to five points. The Warriors continued a late push with help from another three-point shot by Lauren Tsuneishi and a layup from Lauren McCoy to bring the game within two points. Cassidy Tiegs tied the score at 20 apiece in the final 20 seconds of the second quarter.
Kiana Gray and Watterson led the Regals with six points each. Watterson added 10 rebounds and a steal in the first half.
Westmont took their first lead of the game on the first possession of the second half. However, the back and forth battle continued when Derksen took another charge resulting in a made three-point shot from Rylie Wada.
Kailee Yan added a big five points at crucial moments in the third quarter, but it was a three-pointer from Ruhl that tied it back up at 33 going into the final quarter.
The fourth quarter was a point for point battle. Danielle Roumbos drained a three-point shot from the corner to take the lead, but the Warriors answered back immediately. Tsuneishi then added her third three-point shot of the night to take a 43-42 lead with four minutes left.
A technical on Watterson gave the Warriors a chance to extend their lead to four, but another three-pointer by Roumbos brought it back to a one-point game. Two made free throws from Tsuneishi gave Westmont a three-point lead with a minute left in the game.
Gray got fouled on a made layup, and completed the three-point play at the line. A foul on Yan put Tsuneishi at the line for two made free throws, but Derksen answered back with two free throws of her own. With seven seconds remaining and the Regals down by three, a missed free throw by the Warriors gave CLU a chance. The last second shot did not fall for the Regals, which handed them their second loss of the season.
The Warriors won 53-50 with the help of Tsuneishi scoring 17 points. She was 6-8 at the free throw line and landed three three-point shots. McCoy scored 15 points with six rebounds.
Gray and Watterson led the Regals offensively with 11 and 10 points, respectively. Watterson added 16 rebounds on the day as she recorded a double-double. Roumbos was 3-3 on three-pointers.
Up next for the Regals is Wartburg College. CLU takes on the Knights in Santa Cruz, Calif., on Wednesday, December 20 at 4 p.m.

You're paying my social security. Thanks. Been retired 11 years now. I think my M3W is perfect as delivered by Morgan. So, I just spent $2,500 on my BMW R9T.
Guys, my SPAX shocks came without any instructions. The link provided in this thread is dead.
Would you please share the instructions in case you have it? Just want to make sure I adjust the preload correctly.
My front Spax are set up with 95mm between the centre of the bolt hole and the upper surface of the spring seat. This gives me a ride height around 5mm lower than stock. Obviously, when fitted they can be tweaked if necessary so that you end up with an even ride height side to side. Another approach is to adjust so that the steering arms are horizontal.
Regarding firmness: Start off with 10 clicks from softest and go from there.
Can't help you with the rears because I don't have them fitted!
Try going to Spax Downloads Page and then to the Krypton Dampers owners manual link. That should get the instructions, such as they are.
The black art bit for road use usually consists of setting the preload to give what looks like the right ride height then driving it and adjusting the damping till it feels about right. What feels right on the road is right: it's different for competition use and involves stopwatches! Also, for road use there is a fairly wide window of damper settings that work well or to put it another way, a one click change might make a particular bumpy corner slightly more controlled and comfortable but the next corner might not be quite as good as it was before! Once you have it working well then consider adjusting the preload, again for road use the damping might not need changed for a small preload change but it is worth going up and down a couple of clicks to see what happens to the feel on the road.
Don't be daunted by how vague it all sounds, the chances are that the damping is set at a fairly decent setting out of the box but do check what the setting is - you need to know where you are starting from.
Have fun and remember that a lot of the benefit of replacement shocks is that the uncontrolled free play before the damping kicks in is much reduced compared to the originals, they also tend to have much better bumpstops so the end of travel movement is better controlled and they are much less inclined to overheat too.
Timely thread. Just installed my front Ohlins and am waiting excessive motivation to tackle the rears. Not to mention the arrival of Spring for these 'seat of the pants' black art tweaks.
Thanks, guys! Installed all 4 shocks. Changed the rear tire as well, since it all was taken apart. Had to grind down 3 bushings, as they were wider than the frame mount. Waiting for a dry day to test it out!

Anchorage – Seward Highway & Alaska Wildlife Center (USA)
7. September 2019 Categories: Travel reports, North America, USA, Alaska
After checking out in the early morning on our cruise ship – the Royal Princess – we took the transfer bus from Princess Cruises from Whittier to Anchorage. The transfer took about 90 minutes, so we were at Anchorage airport around 10 a.m. Here we got off and were able to store our luggage for free at the airport in a room that was open especially for cruise guests. This service is offered until 5 p.m., then you have to pick up your luggage. Since our flight to New York didn't start until 8:30 p.m., this was perfect for us, because we didn't have to take the suitcases on our day's trip along the Seward Highway and to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center 🙂

As always, we have purchased our rental car for today through billiger-mietwagen.de incl. "All-round carefree package". This means that all important insurances & services (full insurance and theft protection without excess, liability, glass/tyre protection, all kilometers free and can be cancelled free of charge) are already included in the rental price. We have always had very good experiences with this and can only recommend this. For our midsize SUV we paid the landlord Hertz 87 EUR and in the end even got a full-size SUV with the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Our car rental from Hertz for Anchorage
On the following Google Maps map we have mapped all the major sights that are located in Anchorage and along the Seward Highway:
The Seward Highway is a highway in the U.S. state of Alaska that stretches for 200 kilometers from Anchorage to Seward. It was completed in 1951 and passes through the picturesque Kenai Peninsula, the Chugach National Forest, the Turnagain Arm and the Kenai Mountains.
The section of the Seward Highway between Anchorage and Girdwood is part of Chugach State Park and is listed as the National Scenic Byway and designated as the All-American Road.
Founded in 1970, Chugach State Park is located east of Anchorage and is now one of the largest state parks in the United States. The park is named after the "Chugach", a group of Pacific Eskimos who lived in Prince William Sound. Chugach State Park is a popular destination with 28 marked hiking trails, three campsites, extensive sea coasts, abundant lakes, massive glaciers and ice fields. The westernmost border of the park lies in the foothills of the Chugach mountain range. The park is further defined by the Knik Arm to the north, the Turnagain Arm to the south, and the Upper and Lower Lake George and Chugach National Forest to the east.
Der Chugach State Park in Alaska
Our first stop was the Potter Marsh Boardwalk, a vantage point immediately after the exit of Anchorage.
The 564-hectare freshwater bog stretches nearly two miles between the New Seward Highway and the base of the Chugach Mountains and creates a wetland where you can find up to 130 species of migratory birds and nesting birds. This rich habitat also attracts grazing moose, beavers and muskrats, bald eagles and spawning salmon. Potter Marsh concentrates so much wildlife because it offers a number of different habitats in relatively small space. At least three flowing streams feed a network of shallow ponds and form a moist bog. An old forest of poplar wood, birch and spruce rises along the surrounding area.
On this rainy morning we could not see any animals along the way except for a few ducks.

The Turnagain Arm is a bay at the end of the Cook Inlet in the Gulf of Alaska and covers a length of up to 72 kilometers. The bay has its name from British explorer James Cook, who was forced to "turn around" when he was unable to cross the waterway during his voyage in 1778. The Turnagain arm is characterized by remarkably large tides of up to 12 meters, which are among the largest tides in North America. At low tide, the arm becomes a wide area of sludge, which is cut by the flow channels. When the tide comes in the form of a tidal wave, it reaches a speed of 30 km/h and even attracts a few adventurous local surfers.
One of the first viewpoints is Beluga Point, a rock formation with a dark sandy beach. Here it was really extremely stormy and we couldn't see any belugas.

Along the Seward Highway, there are other viewpoints and hiking trails every few miles, such as the McHugh Trailhead, rainbow Trailhead, Falls Creek Trail, Bird Ridge Trailhead. Our highlight along the Seward Highway, however, was a small parking lot, about 500 meters after the Bird Point Trailhead. Here we were lucky enough to see 2 white whales – or better known as belugas. They have repeatedly appeared in the water in front of us. Unfortunately, it was extremely difficult to photograph. But the main thing we were allowed to experience these beautiful animals in the wild 🙂

Our last stop today was a visit to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, which is located directly on the Seward Highway at the eastern end of the Turnagain Arm.
The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting, training, and researching Alaska's wildlife. The park is located on an area of 280 hectares, about 75 kilometers (1 hour) from Anchorage and 25 minutes from Whittier. The special thing is that you can drive your own vehicle across the terrain to the individual enclosures. But of course you can also park your car in the large parking lot and walk.
The park is open year-round, with a few exceptions, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year's Day, and costs USD 16 per adult.

You can explore the park yourself like a zoo or take part in a guided tour. We participated in a 90-minute Walk on the Wild Side Tour, where we were guided by a guide through the Wildlife Conservation Center, learned a lot about the history of the nonprofit organization and also had the chance to get to know and feed a porcupine and deer up close and personal 🙂

Highlights of the park include the giant brown bears, which are located on a large area in the middle of the park. A viewing platform offers a good view of the bears. Our tip: In the summer months, the feeding of the bears takes place at 3.30 p.m. Then you have the best chance to see them up close.

On the grounds of the Wildlife Center there are of course many other animals, such as wolves, black bears, foxes, moose, bald eagles, musk oxen and reindeer.

From the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, it took us just over an hour back to Anchorage. We quickly went to a Walmart, bought some things for the flight and then left our rental car at the airport. Just in time at 8.30 p.m. we took off from Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport with Alaska Airlines to New York (Newark). The flight takes a total of 7 hours and we even had the great opportunity to see some northern lights 🙂

Our cruise on the Royal Princess took us for a week along the coast from Vancouver north to Whittier (Anchorage). On this great cruise adventure around the northernmost state of the USA we visited the cities of Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway. We also took a scenic cruise in Glacier Bay National Park and College Fjord with breathtaking views of Alaska's glaciers.

Olearia viscidula, commonly known as the viscid daisy bush or wallaby weed, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and is endemic to eastern New South Wales. It is a shrub with scattered narrow elliptic or egg-shaped leaves that are paler on the lower surface, and panicles of white flowers arranged in leaf axils.

Description
Olearia viscidula is a woody shrub reaching  high and  wide. The oval leaves are alternately arranged along the stems and are up to  long and  wide with entire margins. The upper leaf surfaces are shiny green, while the leaf undersides are covered with pale grey fur. The stems and new growth are sometimes covered in resin. Flowering takes place from July to November, and can be profuse. The disc is cream or yellow and rays are white, the daisy-like flower heads  in diameter.

Taxonomy and naming
Viscid daisy bush was first formally described in 1858 by Ferdinand von Mueller and given the name Eurybia viscidula Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae from material collected by Charles Moore near Goulburn. In 1867, George Bentham changed the name to Olearia viscidula in his book Flora Australiensis. The species name is Latin "slightly sticky".

Distribution and habitat
Olearia viscidula occurs in eastern New South Wales, where it is found south of the Nandewar Rangesand where it grows in tall eucalypt forest and rainforest as well as dry sclerophyll forest and woodland, on medium- or high-nutrient soils.

Ecology
This daisy bush resprouts from a lignotuber after bushfire.

Use in horticulture
Seldom seen in cultivation, O. viscidula grows in soil with good drainage in a part-shaded location. Regular pruning prevents the plant from becoming leggy. The species is frost-hardy. It can be propagated by seed or cutting.

Remined Records
Vinyl0 Comments 0
For close to 10 years now, Colemine Records has built a rather impressive discography of some of the finest slices of Funk and Soul from a host of talented new artists making their way through the industry while stacking a strong foundation of fans across the globe. In 2017 the guys from Colemine Records take a leap into a label of a different kind to show whats old is often times new again with their Remined Records imprint focusing on reissuing some very heavy and sought after tunes. For their debut, they've chosen a pair of gems which shows just how serious they are with the new label and I highly approve.
The Diplomats – "Cards on The Table" b/w "Don't Ever Go" (previously unreleased)
The Diplomats, a group that would later give rise to one of the most sampled breakbeats in history, "It's A New Day" by Skull Snaps, are in their prime here. "Cards On The Table" is a staple in the Northern scene, but clean copies don't come cheap! And "Don't Ever Go" is a previously unreleased track from the group that has never been on vinyl before! Snag 'em now, cause they won't last!
O.C. Tolbert – "(Marriage Is Only) A State of Mind" b/w Marriage Is Only A State of Vibes
Two cuts that have never been on a 45 before coming out of Detroit. Dave Hamilton's production style defines Detroit deep soul. O.C. Tolbert's version of "(Marriage Is Only) A State Of Mind" has never been released in ANY format before, so we are proud to present this lost treasure for the first time along with the killer instrumental version by Dave Hamilton on the B-side. Not to be missed!

These Ambush style attacks are being carried out by a variety of shitheads armed with a variety of long guns that the current "standard issued" concealable armored vest IIIA is just not capable of stopping the rounds.

These plates are most commonly used by tactical units world wide for their unsurpassed protection level against all 7.62 and 5.56 armor piercing rounds. The platform is a Rapid Throw and Go Carrier that is designed for Patrol Officers, Field Agents and U/C Detectives in mind, that need a rapid deployment armor system for Active Shooter Response or doing jumpouts and buy busts. The avegarge officer can deploy and secure this rig in under 7-16 seconds and it can be adjusted instantly with one hand. It is secured by two side straps attached with adjustable 2 inch side snap buckles and has a enhanded comfort due to its high density foam shoulder padding and tabs to secure comms wiring or hydration tubes.

At last! Australia's most perplexing sporting secret is out. We now know why Shane Gould, possibly the greatest swimmer this country has ever produced, retired at the peak of her career.
A tumble turn is the radical manoeuvre a swimmer uses at the end of the pool, to completely change direction. Shane's book tells of many such alterations of course, from her happy childhood in New South Wales, Fiji and Queensland to the triumphs of the Munich Olympics, the challenges of being "public property number one" as a 16 year old, her marriage to Neil Innes and their sustainable lifestyle on a small farm near Margaret River, to her present day "re-emergence" into the commercial world and the world of swimming.
Tumble Turns - Review by Roger McMillan, writer and fellow swimmer.
This is not an aseptic and superficial coverage of an athlete's career, as told to some faceless sporting journalist. It is open heart surgery on Shane Gould's entire life, as told by Shane Gould in Shane Gould's own words.
It is delightfully written, in an open and ingenuous style, allowing the readers to draw their own conclusions and judge as they see fit. Shane makes no apologies and apportions no blame for the sometimes traumatic periods of her life. What emerges is a complex character who, from an early age, was subjected to stresses and experiences that would leave many of us in a straight jacket. We discover a responsible and studious girl who trained hard and did as she was told, but who couldn't resist the urges to indulge in harmless pranks.
Whether it was playing hide-and-seek with a young American swimmer in the darkened tunnels of the Olympic Village or getting lost while day-dreaming on horseback in the Bramley Forest, life's simple pleasures were never going to pass her by.
Shane's life has been dominated by three very strong-willed men. Her father, her coach, Forbes Carlile, and her husband, Neil Innes, all loved her deeply and all fervently believed they were doing what was right for her. But this is one Goldfisch (as the German press christened her at Munich) who cannot be confined to a small bowl and who cannot be told in which direction to swim.
The book goes into detail (for some, perhaps uncomfortable detail) of Shane's marriage breakdown. While the picture she paints of her husband is not always complimentary, a clear image emerges of a man who was forever constant in his attitudes and actions. Neil Innes had "saved" Shane from the impersonal commercial exploitation of her swimming success. He was therefore hurt by her occasional public appearances as "Shane Gould the swimmer" which he felt were incompatible with her role as "Shane Innes the wife and mother".
Unfortunately for Neil, and fortunately for the rest of us, Shane Gould the swimmer is too strong a personality to subdue. Having made so many tumble turns in her life, she is now swimming strongly down a broad lane of opportunity where she finds time to inspire and motivate those around her while using her public persona to campaign for drug-free sport, a corruption-free Olympic movement and the provision of "life skills" to young athletes.
"Tumble Turns" is a book which will appeal to a broad readership. Sports enthusiasts will devour the insights into the Games village and the pressures to perform. Women will find inspiration in the struggle against normal and abnormal pressures. Margaret River residents will recognise many people and places, and will either cringe or chuckle at descriptions of the Innes family running riot in Darnell's Store.
Whoever you are, your life will be enriched by this fascinating autobiography of a great Australian.
