Check i grundlæggende men effektiv og rettidig måde.
Lejlighed helt dejligt. Den eneste fejl den tredje soveværelse lejlighed arrangeret over toppen (avancerede mobile og foldning). Til rengøring, kan du gøre bedre, men under alle omstændigheder tilstrækkeligt.
Organisationen af Wimdu fremragende.
Check in essenziale ma efficace e puntuale.
Appartamento complessivamente bello. Unica pecca la terza stanza da letto esageratamente arrangiata (mobili avanzati e una brandina). Per la pulizia si poteva fare meglio; in ogni caso sufficiente.
Organizzazione di WIMDU ottima.
Fremragende Jeremy, Fit, dens faciliteter, midt i Latinerkvarteret, overfor Metro, tilbragte 5 overnatninger i den store.
Excelente Jeremy, el apto, sus comodidades, en pleno barrio latino, frente al metro, pasamos 5 noches geniales en el.
Lovely little apartment in a fantastic location. Very quiet side street which was good, and it wasn't too hot despite the fact that Paris was sweltering. High enough up to be able to leave the windows open overnight. Some of the instructions - e.g. How to get rid of the rubbish - were out of date and there was a bit of confusion about picking the key up but it worked out in the end and otherwise was an absolutely super place for anyone spending time in the Latin Quarter. I'd stay there again.
Was very good!
Beautiful apartment in a great central location! It has everything you need and is the perfect size. The bed is very comfortable and I love the apartment's quirky and clean decor. My only critique is that the shower drain was quite blocked and so the water would fill up quickly at the bottom, and the water would sometimes change temperature... But this was not a big deal to us. :) <3
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
A good apartment, in a very good location. The apartment is quite small but was perfect for what we wanted. The interior is a good standard with a fridge, microwave and hob and a modern bathroom. It also has an iron and hairdryer which isn't mentioned on the site.
The area has plenty of good bars and restaurants and the ones we visited were very good quality and reasonably priced especially compared to the more touristy areas.
The main Metro / RER station Chaletlet - Les Halles is less than a five minute walk away and the Metro stops on the Rue de Rivoli are also close by.
Overall very pleased and would definitely recommend a stay.
A very good location with the metro station right on the corner. Very practical when being in Paris.
Appartment was very nice and cosy and the view just as nice (fourth level/ no lift though).
Too bad you can't park in front of the building. You can only station for a little while (to leave luggage for example). Therefore, check your preference for parking (if you are with the car) beforehand.
Regards, Oana and Hans Schippers (the Netherlands)
Apart from aggravation upon arrival when I was kept waiting 45 minutes in spite of having clearly made an appointment with the host, all was fine.
We actually stayed in a different studio since there was a mix-up of reservations. However, the hosts were very nice and the new Studio was even bigger and nicer.

Bachelor Poll: Vote for Your Favorite Guy from 17 Seasons

They were always there "for all the right reasons." And even now, after 25 combined seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, fans still haven't gotten tired of the drama, cat fights, and hot tub hijinks that make for an amazing season.
Who should win as the best Bachelor of all: Jake Pavelka, who chose bad-girl Vienna only to break up with her in a vicious televised special? Sean Lowe, who vowed to hold off on sex with his pick, Catherine Giudici, until their summer 2013 wedding night? Or Jason Mesnick, who popped the question to Melissa Rycroft, then pulled a switcheroo at the reunion? (He just had a baby with his final choice, Molly Malaney.) And remember Season 2 star Aaron Buerge? He ranks as the highest rated Bachelor of all time, with 26 millions viewers tuning in as he popped the question to Helene Eksterowicz in 2002.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
The Peptide Therapeutics Foundation recently reported that 131 peptide drug candidates were in development and 54 additional ones had been approved for marketing. The foundation went on to note that over the past 30 years, peptides have been widely investigated as potential therapies for a number of diseases. Indeed, from 2000 through 2008, most of the peptides being studied were being looked at as possible treatments for cancer and metabolic disorders.
This month's GEN 30th Anniversary Flashback features one of the early investments in the therapeutic protein and peptide field made by a pharmaceutical company in collaboration with a major academic center. Bristol-Myers was searching for new anticancer and anti-infective drugs and paid over $2 million to Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons to support research by a specialist in gene structure and expression. The company was betting on the ability of Dr. Argiris Efstratiadis to use genetic engineering technology to produce promising peptides in quantity.
The article also provides details on one of the first industry/academic partnerships, which, as a group, went on to become one of the cornerstones of the global biotechnology business.
—John Sterling, Editor in Chief
Bristol-Myers in $2.3 Million Funding of Columbia Research
Bristol-Myers Co., the New York based pharmaceutical firm, has concluded an agreement with Colombia University under which the firm has pledged $2.3 million in funds to support research by Dr. Argiris Efstratiadis of Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. Dr. Efstratiadis is a professor of human genetics and development, and a specialist in studies of gene structure and expression.
His primary contributions to research have been in establishing the use of recombinant DNA techniques in examining the structure, function and evolution of mammalian genes, especially those which encode production of globin and insulin. Bristol-Myers has a commercial interest in a variety of therapeutic peptides and proteins which might be produced in large quantities via recombinant fermentations. The company is interested particularly in anti-cancer and anti-infective drugs.
Under the agreement, Bristol-Myers will have first rights to license any products or developments arising out of the sponsored research. All patents will be retained by Columbia, and all inventions and other intellectual property also will remain the property of the university. The university also will receive royalties from the sale of any products developed through the research, and the agreement does not limit Columbia's right to publish information about work conducted at the laboratory.
"Modern developments in biochemistry emphasize the central importance of peptides and proteins in cell regulation," said Dr. Maxwell Gordon, senior vice president of Bristol-Myers Science & Technology Division. "Recombinant DNA techniques, in which Dr. Efstratiadis is a pioneer, are necessary to produce peptides in quantity. We feel, therefore, that this cooperation will be ultimately useful in all of our therapeutic areas of research."
The agreement was approved unanimously by Columbia's Science and Technology Policy Committee, composed of members of the university's administration and faculty. The committee reviews all proposed agreements between the University and the private sector.
"This agreement demonstrates that private industry will fund basic laboratory research in which commercially valuable developments are expected only after extended periods of investigation," said Dr. Robert Goldberger, provost of Columbia.
Dr. Efstratiadis, who joined Columbia's faculty in June of 1982, was the first to synthesize and clone complementary DNA copies of specific types of messenger RNA. This work permitted the development of techniques important in the identification and isolation of genes in the chromosomes.
He also co-authored a study of gene evolution based on DNA sequence information, and was a member of the team that constructed for the first time a bacterium synthesizing rat insulin.
"The interest of my laboratory," Dr Efstratiadis said, "focuses exclusively on basic research. We are currently trying to understand the physical structure of DNA regions controlling the expression of globin and insulin genes.
"We are also studying the mechanism by which one of the two insulin genes in the rat jumped during evolution from its initial position to a new location on the chromosome. Another project involves experiments toward the understanding of the maturation process of the initial RNS copies produced from split genes," he said.
"Finally, we have plans to continue preliminary work on the genetic aspect of juvenile diabetes at the molecular level," he said.
"Our projects are supported by federal grants, but we need a wider financial basis to expand our experimentation, which is extremely expensive," he added.
Dr. Efstratiadis received an M.D. in 1966 and a Dr. Med. Sci. in 1971, both from the University of Athens, and a Ph.D. in biology in 1976 from Harvard University. He had been on the Harvard faculty from 1976 until he joined Columbia last year. In 1980, Dr. Efstratiadis received a three-year Career Development Award from the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. He is a member of the editorial board of DNA—A Journal of Molecular Biology.

Measure BackWhat does it mean to say we are at war? What is the mass media's role and function in response to war, and what is ours? Can we, as "non-combatants", change the course of war? Created by Christopher McElroen and T. Ryder Smith, the visceral and thought-provoking theatrical work Measure Back seeks a path between the citizen-as-spectator and the citizen-as-participant. Set in an immersive theatrical environment to examine scenes of conflict ranging from Homer's The Iliad to today's headlines, Measure Back uses audience participation and black humor to probe how war is constructed and performed – from conception through consensus to action.10/22/2013 - 10/26/2013Time: 8:00 pm10/22 - 8:00 pm10/23 - 8:00 pm10/24 - 8:00 pm10/25 - 8:00 pm10/26 - 8:00 pmLocation: Baum Building, 818 Liberty Ave, Pittsburgh, PAwebsite

We've talked about the Prius
Plug-in Hybrid and the Prius
v on a number of occasions here on DailyTech.
Now, we have official
pricing for both of the new hybrids.
The Prius v will start at $27,140 when it launches in the
U.S. this fall. The Prius v uses the same hybrid powertrain as the standard
Prius, but has a larger cargo area behind the rear seats (34.3 cu ft versus
21.6 cu ft). The Prius v weighs 200 pounds more than the standard Prius, so
fuel economy suffers. Combined fuel economy for the Prius v is 40mpg instead of
the loftier 50mpg for the regular Prius.
The Prius Plug-in Hybrid will be priced from $32,760. The
new lithium-ion battery pack in the plug-in variant allows the vehicle to
travel up to 15 miles on battery power alone (at speeds up to 62mph). After the
15 miles is exhausted, Prius Plug-in Hybrid will operate exactly like any other
Prius hybrid.
Toyota says that the Prius Plug-in Hybrid can be charged in
1.5 hours using a 240V outlet or 2 to 3 hours using a 120V outlet.
The Prius Plug-in Hybrid also qualifies for a $2,500 federal
tax credit.

I always admire Brian when he makes statements like this.
I always admire Brian when he makes statements like this.
And here is the link to Hersh's story, which includes a few sentences of his own + Boitano's statement as above:
Boitano now 3rd openly gay athlete on official U.S. Sochi delegation
By Philip Hersh, Tribune reporter
12:20 p.m. CST, December 19, 2013
The lede:
Two days after being named a member of the White House delegation to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, figure skating champion Brian Boitano announced he is gay.
So many reasons to be proud of Brian Boitano. He is a role model in countless ways. That he has chosen this opportunity to publicly announce that he is gay simply adds to the already impressive reasons why he is admired. The US delegation to Sochi will most definitely be strengthened foremost by his presence, foremost in my opinion, for the human being that he is.
I just hope/wish that folks would follow his lead. As he stated he wants to be known/remembered for his accomplishments in his public/professional life and not his private life.
I'm confused too. I thought this was known. It's sad that people have to be official about it. I loved his cooking show and Brian has always been one of my favorites. Anyhoo I think Brian was definitely marketable but the men in general don't seem to be on the level as the women. I mean Kwan and Cohen didn't even need the gold medal to be marketable than the actual winners...especially Michelle.
It will be interesting to see if Cohen will still be as marketable when she's 50+
It's true that women in figure skating appear to be more marketable than men. The men have to contend with this huge "is skating too gay" debate, when people like Scott Hamilton or Elvis Stokyo (sp?) try to butch it up, but then people like Rudy Galindo or Johnny Weir also become successful. Men's skating never seems to be allowed to be a big tent for everyone.
Orser, AFAIR, didn't so much come out, as he was outed due to a palimony suit by his ex partner.
Ah, Mr Boitano, I'm so proud of you.
Of course no one should be outed against his will (and I never said he should be) But--and I speak from personal experience very very few of you could know (being straight)--coming out is the single most important thing any LGBT person can do. Why? Because it takes us from an unknown quantity to a known one. It's easy to discriminate against an abstract label. It's much harder to do so when it is your family member or friend or work mate. It's no coincidence that the gay rights movement made its most impressive strides not through violent confrontation but through the act of people coming out in record numbers. And that is why Russia's idiotic propaganda law is so evil, because it attempts to make an entire subgroup unknown and vilified.
Well done Brian!
In honor of Boitano's selection for the official U.S. delegation to the Sochi Olympic games, I think a big Brian love-in is in order. I'll start the ball rolling
you just wanted to post a video of Michelle
This program is one of my favorites of his - http://youtu.be/9QoS4vYZp10
Loved this patriotic program for the 1961 Tribute show in October of 2001, which became a Sept 11 tribute show - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qrn7LYRKbE
And don't forget his skating on an Alaskan "Glacier" (looks to me more like a glacier fed lake) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MleTnhI-lOw
"The Olympics are great for notoriety right off the bat, but your body of work is what people remember you for." - Brian Boitano
I felt it was time that Brian had his own Fan Fest thread!
Still performing at 50
And his 1988 programs are some of my fondest skating memories, too.
Yay, Brian! Class, eloquence and a darn terrific skater! He will be a superb rep for the U.S. in Sochi!
Thank you all for your support. It means so much to me. And thank you, .@BarackObama for your shout out during today's press conference!
5:05 PM - 20 Dec 13
On the Disson holiday show today on ABC, Brian will be skating a tribute to his late parents -- using "Silent Night" as his music.
Brian said a few words about it in a little teaser interview on the show a few minutes ago.
Update: Brian's skate started about 53 minutes into the first hour of the show. He skated to Josh Groban's rendition (on tape) of Silent Night. Lovely. (I always love Brian's skating .)
BTW #1: The show open had a cool moment with Brian doing a spread eagle around Meryl/Charlie as they did a spin.
BTW #2: Later within the open, lucky Meryl also got to be in the middle of a Brian/Charlie sandwich , as in this photo, for example. Or maybe the guys are the lucky ones .

Happy 2012! As everyone knows this is a popular time of year to get fit and drop pounds. In fact, 85 percent of all the people who join a gym these days do so not for vanity but to improve their health and lose weight.
Have you made your New Year's health and fitness resolutions? Even more importantly, do you have a plan in place to get the results you want?
For the past several years we have run a popular Wellness and Weight Loss Challenge for our members at the South Yuba Club. Last year's challenge was won by Andy Fietz, who weighed 300 pounds a year ago December. Andy lost 80 pounds in six months.
To hear Andy's story in his own words go to the online version of this article on The Union website (www.theunion.com) and watch Andy's video.
This year, we are making our annual Wellness and Weight loss Challenge available for free to everyone in Nevada Country via our website. On the site you can download our Six-Week Exercise and Nutrition Journal. The 31-page journal is your road map to proper exercise, nutrition and weight loss - covering everything you need to do to be successful whether you workout at a gym or exercise at home.
So here's the challenge: Get started on the right foot this year and take action when it comes to your health and well-being. If your New Year's resolution includes gaining strength, losing weight, improving your health then follow the plan below and make 2012 your best year ever.
• Six-Week Exercise and Nutrition Journal. Download the program journal at www.southyubaclub.com.
• "Getting started" meeting. Attend the "getting started" meeting. The meeting includes the 30-minute presentation "The ABC's of Fat Loss" and covers everything you need to know to be successful including how to use the Six-Week Journal.
South Yuba Club will offer meeting dates at both of our clubs for your convenience: 6:30-7:30 p.m. Jan. 21 at 555 Searls Ave., Nevada City (call 470-9100 for information); or 6:30-7:30 p.m. Feb. 1 at at 722 Freeman Lane/Raley's Pine Creek Center, Grass Valley (272-7676).

Locals to attend march on D.C.
August 27, 2013
CHARLES TOWN — Wednesday marks the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington, a highlight of the civil rights movement when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr....
I hate to break it to you, but the roles have been reversed and there was no rioting. The Zimmerman case became a big deal, not because of the crime, but because there were no arrest. You try so hard to make it more, but it simply isn't. All the case you try and throw up, are just "crimes." They happen everyday...sadly. But the cases that get attention are those that seem like someone is getting away with something. That is was causes protests. Even looking at the hoaxes you see that. Brawley/Duke Lacrosse - both cases were about white males getting away with rape. That makes people remember our country's dark past and get angry. But when there is a crime and someone gets punished, there is no outrage. Because it happens all the time. CHEERS!

I posted examples of crimes against different races to show that these crimes happen everyday and don't get national media attention. Yet some of you still want to drive division. With cloaked ramblings of racial-superiority. This is America. A nation of immigrants that is currently in it's own way. I'm so sick and tired of the hate-filled remarks and the "It's not us, it's them." BS rhetoric. I tend to agree with Ronald. As I know 100%, that an education can change your life. Simply being able to earn a good wage is life-changing. And in many cases (at least down in the city), kids don't even know what opportunities they have. I know because I was one of them. We think....Plan A - Play pro ball, Plan B - Become an entertainer, Plan C - Sell drugs. Those are the only ways of obtaining wealth that they know of.
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Ronald's response may have been rambling a little bit, but at least it wasn't dripping with ignorance and racism like so many of them; and it was a good message to boot. Hard work, education, and discipline (including self) are what create success, not skin color; and the opposite is just as true. Backward mentalities such as those we see here are the reason why folks like George Rutherford are correct when he says the civil rights movement isn't finished. Harping about certain crimes is only fun for some callers when it is minority on white; white on white crime slides by under the radar with nary a word on these boards. Why can't we just focus on stopping/solving crimes? Because it doesn't fit into the narrative of radicals on either end of the spectrum.

Plenty of young people have goals, you just don't hear about them. Enough of your incoherent rambling about being called a nerd for getting an education.
The answer to societal problems is always family and education. Simple. Keep your family together and educate yourself and watch what joys life brings you.

I give all of you about 2.5 cents for this stuff to put on my garden. The biggest issue against all races in this country is the fact that our Youth have no real goals. Blame it where you want. but you can't drop out of school with two or three years to go and make a living. You can set on you @$$ and cry about how life is treating you all you want but unless you yourself do the work you going to live with a substandard wage all of your life. The world is not easy but rock, rap or country cow kicking music blasting in your ears is not going to make you wealthy or even middle class. It took a couple of years in the military for me to see that even a High School diploma was not going to get me the things out of life that I wanted. So I went to college, day classes, night classes, summer classes you name it, but I finally got there. It was worth it. Yeah I know you kids think I am stupid or a geek or a nerd, but I'll take it, as it has taken me places I never thought I would go.

The younger generation as a whole needs work. A lot of people tend to forget that single parent homes are up across the board. They are highest in the black community, but that are up across the board. There is a complete lack of morality that is covering our nation right now. And it's getting worse, especially in the low income areas. Visit there sometime and talk to these people before you lob your MSNBC/FoxNews influenced opinion out there.

I'm not sure why you all expect Obama to speak out about the murder in Oklahoma. I know some of you want it to be a hate crime, but it wasn't. Our president already got sucked in by the blown up headline in Sanford, FL. Let's not make it worse. Maybe you only look for headlines, but there are many black on white and white on black killings everyday that never even get reported on. Google John Henry Spooner or Jason Fordell. There are crimes like this everyday. EVERYDAY! So don't let the drive-by media draw you into an online race war. If you play into it, you're just as bad as they are.

As long as the black community thinks the "nation" has a long way to go in improving minorities lives,it isn't going to happen. It isn't the whole nations problem,it is yours. You have to go out and work hard and make a life not have one given to you. Although I don't see much hope it that for most who will be attending this march. They have excepted the grape drink hook line and sinker.

Phoenix, That's not likely to happen. At least not anytime soon. It is contrary to his racial agenda against whites. As far as race-baiting agitator, Al Sharpton, I understand he will be issuing a formal statement as soon as he's done writing his apology to the Duke University lacrosse team.

Emily DeMotto, a senior at Elkins High School, wanted to help the Randolph County Humane Society for her senior project.
DeMotto made more than 1,000 peanut butter dog biscuits and sold them to raise money for the shelter. By social networking and with the help of friends and family, she was able to sell these in no time. She also had a yard sale and sold a lot of her own things. She wrote letters to area businesses asking for either monetary donations or food for the shelter.
The businesses donating were Citizens Bank of WV, DeMotto Honda, K&K Collision, K-Mart, Kroger, Lohr & Barb Funeral Home, Dr Mike Pritt, Reckart Logistics and Tractor Supply. Designs by Kathy and T-Mart offered to let her sit up donation jars in their place of business. The support of the community was overwhelming in helping DeMotto with her project, she said. DeMotto has always had a love for animals and was very happy to be able to help the shelter.
Article Photos
With all her hard work and the support from all, she was able to present Kelly Scheidegger of the RCHS a check in the amount of $2,103.57 along with more than 100 pounds of dog and cat food. She made approximately 100 extra peanut butter bones to give to the animals at the shelter. DeMotto also gave them bags of blankets and towels which are badly needed at the shelter.
DeMotto would like to thank everyone who helped and supported her with this project.

A comment I left at Heather's the other day,
... I don't know how to word my spiritual journey and seeking on my blog. I try and it doesn't come out the right way but I am thirsting. I am parched. I need renewal and restoration. I hate that I equate my inabilities and physical & emotional exhaustion to my children, when it is me and my neglected soul.

All the while, a low-flying helicopter filmed the movements for "Top Gear," a cable television show known for interesting automobiles and adrenaline-charged stunts.
The filming for the U.S. version of the show, which airs on the History Channel, required the Skyway to be shut down in both directions between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., as dozens of people gathered below on Fuhrmann Boulevard to catch a view of the action.
"This is the first time I remember the Skyway being closed for something positive, instead of a car wreck or snowstorm," said Tim Clark, who heads the Buffalo Niagara Film Commission. "There are local crew hired, and that's good for the Buffalo economy, along with the use of hotels, caterers and all the ancillary services that go with these kinds of productions. They are leaving a ton of money in this town."
Clark said the BBC Worldwide Productions show scouted Buffalo in mid-June and seized upon filming along a stretch of the Skyway between the General Mills and Great Northern grain elevators. The show paid a standard application fee for use of the public Skyway, which Clark said was a chance to show off the city skyline while reaping the economic benefits.
State Sen. Tim Kennedy, who is on the Senate Transportation Committee, asked the state Department of Transportation to expedite the film commission's request to close the highway.
"It's a chance to show off Buffalo and encourage even more people to check out all our region has to offer. Filmmakers and television producers are quickly learning that Buffalo is the place to be to shoot exciting scenes in unique and diverse settings," he said.
The show is an Americanized version of the more widely known and long-running British program named in the 2013 Guinness Book of World Records as the "Most Watched Factual TV program," with airings in 212 territories from Ghana and Guatemala to Moldova and Myanmar. The Buffalo episode will air in the fall.
"Top Gear" hosts comedian Adam Ferrara, champion rally and drift racer Tanner Foust and racing analyst Rutledge Wood were on hand for the shoot, which included spinouts and individual speed trials.
"I enjoy the show a lot. It's about cars and stuff, and the actors are good, and everything about it is great," said Sean Leary, 19, of Amherst, who watched with his mother and sister.
Bob Brennan, of Amherst, said he watches both the British and American versions, and appreciates both. "They each have a different idea. The American one does a lot of stunts we can relate to. The English ones do all sorts of crazy stunts that wouldn't be allowed here," Brennan said.
Josh Parr, who operates nyspeed.com, a statewide discussion board for car enthusiasts, said he was glad to see Buffalo get the attention. "Usually they go to exotic locations and places that are pretty noteworthy, and it's nice to see us getting the recognition on a show like this," Parr said
Film sites over the past two days also included Elmwood Avenue, Niagara Street, Chapin Parkway and the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park. Driving stunts were filmed on Mississippi Street in the Cobblestone District, and the modified vehicles were shown driving in and out of the water at Erie Basin Marina.

I'm guessing both the people in this thread have 'Van' versions of these vehicles.
But for those of us who only venture into London occaiasionally, we dont know what the Low Emission zone restrictions are.
Most of it is explained here: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/lez/default.aspx
Basically the zone extends to the suburbs, and it is £200 a day if you enter the zone with a vehicle that doesn't comply to their emission specs.
The legislation is really aimed at trucks and busses. You have just been caught up in it - You will have had plenty of notice that this was coming too.
And yes - the intention is to get smelly polluting old diesels off the road.
Hi Landroverman
As a fellow Land rover (1991) owner living inside the LEZ this has been a problem for me also. I've resorted to housing the land rover in suffolk with a friend, but this is far from ideal. What's more, on a daily basis I see land rovers of a similar age driving around inside the LEZ (usually a 200Tdi or 110) which according to TFL the individual vehicles are 'not subject to the LEZ'.
I'm curious as to how I might be able to apply to be exempt from the LEZ, has anyone had any experience/success with this?
Thanks a lot
I think the DVLA have a pamphlet that gives out all that kind of information. The rule of thumb seems to be, the lower the tax is on the vehicle, the lower its omissions.
Some new vehicles have No tax at all, whereas the 2002 car I've just bought is £148 a year, yet it still passed its MOT omission check?
I just wonder how this LEZ affects boats going up and down the Thames? I know my daughter went on an all-night cruise around Xmas, and she said the smoke from the exhaust on the boat was quite noticeable.
I have had a couple of friends who had to get rid of their Land Rovers because of LEZ. Theirs were both commercial types, as opposed to Discos, and DVLA said that putting later engines in wouldn't cut it. I live just inside it, and I know I will have to get rid of my car eventually as I am sure they will go down that road soon enough.

A team whose history is full of pretty boys (Carson Palmer), heroin addicts (Todd Marinovich), steroid abusers (pretty much all of them), and murderers (OJ). Occasionally they crank out a good player, but these can be hard to find among all the failures (see Bush, Reggie; Leinart, Matt; Williams, Mike). They think they have won a bunch of national titles, but don't realize that Div 1-A football doesn't actually have a champion. Thus, their trophies are roughly as valuable as awards for tiddlywinks competitions.

HARPERS FERRY - A single-family home was declared a total loss Saturday morning after it succumbed to a fire.
Chief Donnie Lanham of Independent Fire Company in Charles Town said a call to report the fire was dispatched at 8:19 a.m. Loudon County was the first crew on the scene. Independent arrived second to issue support.
Lanham said the crews fought to extinguish the fire from inside the house until conditions deteriorated.

Responders work to put out a house fire which occurred early Saturday morning and rendered the home a total loss.
"(We started fighting it) outside, trying to hit it from the exterior of the building," Lanham said.
No one was in the home at the time of the fire. Lanham said a neighbor told him the homeowners are out of the country.
The fire was under control by 10:15 a.m., Lanham said. Eight companies responded to the scene.
A cause has not yet been determined, and the incident remains under investigation.

My dog Toby passed away last week at the age of 15 years and 5 months.
He became violently ill at 5:30 a.m., awakening us. That was followed by an hour of taking care of him and then a 30-mile drive to the only emergency clinic open to see if anything could be done.
I knew in my heart there could not be but one doesn't love an animal for 15 years and then not do what they can to save them.
He had surgery to remove skin growths two days before but had been fine since then.
The vet on call was not sure what was going on but mentioned internal bleeding and talked about cancer or a stroke. He laid out his recommended treatment options and left the room for us to decide.
His options left a tiny little window of hope to me that I desperately wanted to grab but looking into my husband's eyes with tears streaming down my face, I knew there really was no hope.
We had spent the past three hours listening to and comforting a dog in severe pain.
But Toby is my heart. I have told him that often over the years.
He was "my dog" and I was "his mom," and anyone who has ever had the honor of having a dog choose them as their human, the one they will love unconditionally and follow anywhere, knows it is a special relationship.
Toby stayed in Aiken when I moved here. At his age, I was afraid the move would be detrimental to his health. But we still had our weekends together.
Toby was a rescue like our other dogs.
We convinced someone to sell him to us because we couldn't stand to see a little puppy chained in the backyard in all weather conditions.
He was the only dog we ever had that was a pure breed. They often have a lot of health problems bred in and he was no exception. He was deaf, and almost blind. He had epilepsy since birth, and a thyroid condition developed in old age.
But he was a fighter. He was the smallest of our four dogs but he made it clear to the others that he was the dominant one.
He truly would scrap to the death rather than let one of them win. Luckily, they just bowed and let him take his place at the head of the pack.
Toby had taken up swimming in the pool this year for the first time in his 15 years. I think he fell in enough that he decided he liked it and he took to swimming occasionally when it was hot.
But most of all we had Toby time. He followed me from room to room and when I would sit he would come to me and I would look into his eyes and pet him and talk to him.
I'm not sure if he could hear me but he heard the message.
He was special and his mom loved him more than anything.
If he took a nap and woke and I had left the room, he frantically ran from room to room looking for me, until I was found and in his sight once more.
Standing in the emergency clinic in the early morning hours of Saturday, the tears flowed as I contemplated life without Toby.
Anyone who has lost a pet knows that it is heartbreaking. Time will heal that pain, but it will be a while before that happens.
But Toby did the only thing he could do to ease my burden that day. As we stood there, I looked into his eyes and cried and talked to him as we tried to decide what to do, and then he took a deep breath and simply passed away.
He took the decision out of our hands and made it for us. It was his final loving gesture to a family who had loved him as part of them for so long.
And in the end, what more can any of us hope for but to have been loved unconditionally, and to pass peacefully from this life to the next surrounded and comforted by those who loved us most?

Replacement of aged water mains, potholes a challenge
May 23, 2013
When city firefighters had to tap into a fire hydrant with more powerful force a block and a half away from a recent intentionally-set house fire on Newberry Street, it heightened awareness of the......
You also have to keep in mind that the water mains were designed, originally, to carry water to households for household use. You didn't have 1000, 1500 or 2500 gallon per minute pumps on fire engines when they were designed. If you were lucky the engines of the day could pump one inch and a half line. Do you really want them replacing 280 miles of water mains at $1.3 million per mile? Can you really afford $100/glass of water?

Mike, I hear you, I do. But that doesn't excuse the conditions we're having to worry about for our water supply that we do live in. Honestly, I have a Fire Hydrant VERY close to my house so I'm fortunate...sort of.
I live right across the street from two homes that burned down because of the water pressure problem here in Newberry a while back.
But your point isn't invalid mike, those of you outside of town are in a more serious situation no doubt.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
wwhickok, I live 3 miles from the nearest fire hydrant and that's probably close to the nearest usable place to draw water to fight fire and would have to be tankered in at that. You have good hydrants at most a few blocks from what it sounds. It may not be ideal, but you're a lot better off than the majority of us who live outside of a town water system.

First of all I commend Mr. Heinbach and the Fire Dept for the job they were able to do in protecting the family that lived on Newberry St and putting a stop to the fire. They did their job to the best of their ability and no one was hurt.
As for the Water Company, 2015??? Are you kidding me???! With all the money you got flowing in from skyrocketing sewage prices, and who knows what you're doing at the sewage plant, you mean to tell me we have to live in fear for the next two years of whether the Fire Dept can efficiently do their job because of severely outdated mains and hydrants? That's inexcusable!!

The greatest band in existance.
Porfirio Diaz, Honest to a Fault, Catacombs, Ticklish
by Bishop May 12, 2004
A band from El Paso, TX. They were highly successful in the mid-90s underground scene until the single "One Armed Scissor" was released and played quite frequently on MTV in the late 90s. But even during their popularity on MTV, they still stuck to their roots, playing with the same energy as they did when they were still underground and not conforming to the stereotypical MTV egocentric band. They eventually broke up in 2001, but the reason why is still in debate. Some say it's because they didn't want to become mainstream, some say it was artistic differences, and some say it's a mix of the two. Either way, their break up formed two different bands: Sparta, which is similar to At the Drive-In, but not as energetic in my opinion, and The Mars Volta, which is quite different from At the Drive-In and the main reason to support the "artistic differences" reason for the break up.
Damn, I wish I'd seen At the Drive-In live when I had the chance.

A band that hails from El Paso, Texas and stays true to its routes no matter what the circumstances. All around the wickest band in its class. Energetic, fast paced, intelligent rock that's bound to reach your soul. Napoleon Solo is a wicked song.
If you don't know who At The Drive-In are, you're listening to too much hip-hop and heavy metal on MTV. Therefore you suck.

Channa Royal
Name: Channa Royal
Channa Royal wasn't expecting more than a tour of Westminster College. She was already accepted into her college of choice and had decided on a course of study. However, her dad insisted she consider the college anyway.
When a friend gave her a tour of the campus, she fell in love. "The campus really caught my attention," she says. After applying, she met with an admissions counselor and was blown away by Westminster's scholarship offer. "That was a huge deal for me, that I could come to such a great school with such an amazing opportunity," she says.
Channa, a nursing major, is studying in a program known for its excellence. The professors, technology and training in the School of Nursing and Health Sciences provide students with an experience incomparable to large institutions. Channa is pleased with every aspect of the program, and is especially impressed with the professors. "I couldn't have picked or asked for a better faculty," she says.
Westminster's nursing program is housed in the Health, Wellness and Athletic Center —built in 2005.The nursing program contains standard nursing school facilities, two technology-rich labs and human simulation dummies—SimMan™ and SimBaby™—that have the ability to react to any medical situation. They vomit, go into a coma, die and even threaten to sue if they don't like what is being done to them. "They're like real people," Channa says.
Working in the nursing program's high-tech labs sounds like a lot fun, but it actually requires a lot of hard work and dedication. Blood transfers, shots and insulin were only a few of the things Channa was learning during the first few weeks of the program. By mid-semester, she was gaining hands-on experience with real patients. The job is demanding and fast-paced, but Channa has enjoyed each and every challenge and, "I couldn't have asked for a better experience," she says.
Channa is currently focused on medical surgical nursing and gaining experience in a clinical—spending time in the operating room, radiology and endoscopy procedures. After completing her required two years of work experience, she plans on returning to Westminster for graduate school, either for a Master of Science in Nursing: Family Nurse Practitioner or the Master of Public Health .
Needless to say, the nursing program is keeping Channa busy. However, that doesn't keep her from being involved on campus. Channa stays informed about activities, participates in clubs and organizations, and makes an effort to meet students outside her major. She is a member of Student Nurses of Westminster (SNOW), Common Ground Theme Committee, a nursing academic advisor in the START Center and a Student Ambassador (SA).
SAs are a group of students who help orient freshman into college life—setting up activities, facilitating friendships and answering questions. As an out-of-state student, Channa experienced being a college freshman who didn't know anyone. And though she made friends quickly on her own, she was happy to have an SA help with the transition. Now a junior, Channa has familiarized herself with campus and wanted to share her experience with incoming students.
Channa has accomplished a great deal since attending Westminster. The education and experience she has received has been beyond her expectations. Westminster provides students with a well-rounded diverse education and encourages students to be individuals. "They give us all these opportunities to really explore and take hold of the person we would like to be," she says. "Not only educationally, but on a holistic level,"

PITTSBURGH - For the first time in his six-year head coaching career, Mike Tomlin will go into a game with his team already eliminated from playoff contention.
Tomlin insists he isn't going to treat the week of preparation any differently.
A day after his Pittsburgh Steelers were knocked out of the postseason race with a loss to Cincinnati, Tomlin vowed that injuries would be the only factor dictating lineup changes for the regular-season finale Sunday.
Don't look for an abundance of younger players auditioning for 2013 jobs.
"This is an opportunity to play and play to win, to get this sour taste out of our mouth," Tomlin said. "I am not going to approach it with that (look-ahead to 2013) mentality."
Among those who won't play for the Steelers (7-8) against the Cleveland Browns (5-10) is tight end Heath Miller, who sustained multiple torn ligaments in his right knee during the loss to the Bengals. Miller, a prime candidate for the Pro Bowl and team MVP, has torn anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments as well as a possible tear in his posterior cruciate ligament.
Typical recovery time would extend well into next season's training camp. Just this past year, Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall, offensive tackle Max Starks and nose tackle Casey Hampton began camp on the physically unable to perform list after sustaining torn ACLs over the first eight days of January.
"I think we need to let the dust settle to know exactly what it is we're dealing with before we start framing his recovery or his rate of recovery," Tomlin said.
"He's been rock-solid for us, and we really appreciate his efforts."
Miller, of course, faces surgery. Reserve running back Baron Batch had surgery to repair a broken forearm on Monday morning. Tomlin said roster moves will be made to replace those two so that the Steelers are not carrying any "dead weight" for Sunday's game.
Starting cornerback Ike Taylor (ankle fracture) is getting closer to being cleared to play after missing the past three games. But Tomlin indicated there isn't any reason to rush him back.
Receiver Mike Wallace (hip strain), rookie guard David DeCastro (left hamstring) and cornerback Curtis Brown (left ankle) also were injured during the Bengals game and will be evaluated throughout the week. Cornerback Keenan Lewis also was noticeably hobbled Sunday.
Tomlin acknowledged that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is "less than 100 percent," but refused to attribute his struggles over the past three games to the effects of a shoulder and rib injury that sidelined him in the previous three contests.
Roethlisberger had 17 touchdowns and four interceptions in nine games before being knocked out against Kansas City Nov. 12. He has had four interceptions in the three games - all losses - since coming back.
Roethlisberger's 58.6 passer rating Sunday was his third worst for a game since Nov. 3, 2008, when he was knocked out of a win at Washington with a shoulder injury.
"You can attribute it to whatever you want to," Tomlin said. "Obviously, the play is what it is. It hasn't been consistently good enough for us to win."
The same can be said for the Steelers as a whole. Impressive wins at the New York Giants and Baltimore this season were overshadowed by head-scratching losses at Tennessee and Oakland, each on a last-second field goal after Pittsburgh blew a fourth-quarter lead, then failed to win it with a scoring drive later.
"We've been in a lot of close football games and we just consistently haven't made the necessary plays to win those games," Tomlin said.
Weeden questionable
BEREA, Ohio - Though two of his star players got hurt, Browns coach Pat Shurmur defended playing his regulars late in a blowout loss in Denver.
Shurmur said he was just trying to win when prized rookies Trent Richardson and Brandon Weeden were injured in the second half of the 34-12 loss.
"What do we do, just stop playing?" Shurmur said Monday. "So you just run the ball and get out of there, warm up the buses? Is that what? We're trying to do what we can to move the football. At that time it was a three-score game. Typically that means throw it."
Facing a defense that knew he had to pass, backup Colt McCoy was sacked four times during his brief relief appearance for Weeden.
"I was just trying to not get knocked out," said McCoy, whose 2011 season ended when he sustained a concussion in Pittsburgh. He hadn't thrown a pass since then in a regular-season game until a wobbly Weeden went out Sunday.
"We were pretty far behind at that point when I got in, so I assumed we would start throwing," McCoy said. "It took a couple series getting used to the pocket - hadn't had any reps, hadn't sat back there in a while - so getting a feel for how those guys were playing, I maybe missed a couple throws early.
"A couple times I just threw the ball in the dirt to let those guys [teammates] rest. We were throwing the ball down the field and those guys were tired."
Shurmur said he was unaware of McCoy's comments. He did know about kick returner Josh Cribbs' profane postgame tweet to fans and did not approve.
"That's not acceptable," Shurmur said. "I don't like that and he shouldn't do that. I think he's remorseful. But he shouldn't be reading tweets after a game. Emotions are raw when you don't win. It is important we use good judgment."

Aiming high sometimes means moving on. Old North State, the local acoustic rock and bluegrass band that has at times been a duo, a trio and a quartet, is pulling up stakes for higher hopes.
No matter the musical configuration, the band has at its heart been led by brothers Dillon and Jantzen Wray. The band stripped down to being just a sibling duo since August, and the tireless marketing, writing and recording, filming, Internet outreach and long stretches of touring has led to a tough decision: it�s time to leave Durango.
It�s not like they�ve been chained up on a local street corner or confined themselves to La Plata County. The brothers have played 118 shows around the country this year and are looking ahead to playing more than 200 in 2013. Their final Durango show, for now, will be a nostalgic one Wednesday night at 8th Ave. Tavern.
�We wanted to throw the show at a place where we started at. We went back to the venue we booked with in the beginning,� Dillon Wray said last week at the KDUR studios. �If you saw Old North State back when we started, it was a carefree show. It was fun. I feel like we�ve been tamed down. We wanted to create the atmosphere again.�
The motivation to relocate is simple: They want to jump on what could be an opportunity to build fan bases in the Mid-Atlantic, North and Southeast regions of the U.S. Driving the need to move is a relationship they�ve built with Ace Enders from the band Early November, who produced their next recording project.
�We�ve never hit those important places like New York, Baltimore, Boston and Philadelphia,� Wray said. �We now have a base. We have a hub in Durango, We have a hub in Asheville (N.C.) because our parents are there, and we�ve added New Jersey to the list. We�re going to put in some hard work up there this year.�
This opportunity came up a year ago, and the offer to move was initially turned down. One thing about the Wray brothers is they have made their career moves after calculated thought. They want to be prepared.
�This year I feel like we�re more ready to go into a city and start making a name for ourselves, and holding our own against acts that are much better than we are,� he said.
The brothers are in for the long haul. Making music isn�t something they plan to do until a desk job comes along. During their time here, they have put out a handful of records, toured endlessly between Durango and the East Coast, and most recently won the �Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands,� a contest in which the winner landed a spot on the Vans Warped Tour in Denver. Their answer to the �where will I be five years from now?� question involves a whole lot more of what they�ve already got: travel and music.
�Hopefully, we�ll be on a tour,� Wray said. �When I was a child, I looked at certain things in a music career, and I would think if that happens to me, I�ve made it. I�ve already done five or six of those things, and I don�t feel any different. There�s so much more to do now. I hope we have the ability to keep on struggling through what we�d like to do.�

text: I guess I am looking for a place to go when things get too bad. I don't know if this is that place, but.... I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, 15% of a liver (need a transplant, and because of the Methadone, I have little if any chance of getting on a list.), Hepatitis C, and am on 100mgs. of Methadone. I was an addict for 40 years. But have not used any illicit drug for 35 of those 40 years. I also suffer from severe depression that so far has not been successfully treated with medication. I guess now a lot of you have already judged me, and think that I got what I deserved. I guess that is why I am writing this. To see if I can receive some help or, as when I go to a doctor, just be judged for my past. I hope that is not the case because I am told that I do not have a lot of time left on this earth. I am a good man who has always taken good care of his parents and wife and kids. But, I know that means little to anyone because it seems doctors only see the addiction that I had a long time ago. Yes, I know I am still addicted to Methadone, but when no doctor will give me anything for for the pain that is caused by the RA, I take my relief where I can get it. If anyone out there is suffering, no matter why, maybe we can talk. To the rest of you that are judges, kiss my a! JohnD.

Doing a dance resembling the Harlem Shake while hiking. A term invented by the hiking community that got bored and decided to dance while they hike. The term is used to scare people and cause people to infer that people are jumping off of rocks into pools of water.
"We totally were cliff diving, and my dance moves are legendary!"
