Arturia's iSpark is a Link-connected iOS drum machine
We know an iPad can augment a music setup. But the question for many is, can it replace a computer? Arturia's iSpark isn't shy about what it accomplishes. It really looks a whole lot like the company's drum machine on desktop, only remade for iPad. And it even works with the dedicated SparkLE controller – meaning you now can go pad controller + iPad as you could controller + computer. It also comes with Ableton Link, for easy syncing and jamming with other apps, other iPads/iPhones, and Ableton Live (in any combination).
Here are all the gear videos from NAMM you should watch
The mighty NAMM show, a mind-bogglingly crowded gathering of basically anyone with anything to do with the sale of musical instruments, brought with it its usual slew of new music tech. Now, you could wade through all the videos from that show, until your brain is numbed by trying to make out rushed, rehearsed product spiels. And you'll find that some are … well, less important than others. We've instead separated the wheat from the chaff to bring you our favorite videos of our favorite new stuff. Grab the popcorn.
Link is out of beta; videos, what's new in Live 9.6
The funny thing about Ableton Link is that it doesn't require Ableton Live. It isn't even an app. It's a sync technology, one that allows software to jam together, wirelessly, without any one clock having to be the source or "master." But as of today, if you do use Ableton Live, that wireless magic is built-in – and requires almost no configuration.
The new Arturia MatrixBrute is 100% analog, 100% insane
Well, f*** minimalism, apparently. We've seen monophonic/duophonic synths. We've seen new analog keyboards. What we haven't seen is analog keyboards that seemed to be designed when an inventory of pads and knobs exploded – in your face. And that's what the new Arturia MatrixBrute is. It looks like a fake Photoshop mockup you'd see on a forum, perhaps. But it's real. All real. Close your eyes for a second and let your retinas recover, and let's sort out what is actually even happening here.
Arturia Keystep is a sequencer arpeggiator controller keyboard
There are plenty of hardware step sequencers out there. But now Arturia has a compact entry friendly to keyboardists. This isn't about dialing up melodies with knobs. It assumes you actually know how to find melodies on some keys. Clearly building on the success of the BeatStep Pro sequencer hardware, Arturia's Keystep is a keyboard with both step sequencer and arpeggiator modes. And Arturia has given CDM an exclusive first peek, to share with you.
Why the updated BeatStep Pro is the sequencer to beat
For a lot of us, hands-on sequencing control is a boon to playing, even alongside a computer. So then there's the question of which sequencer. The reason Arturia's BeatStep Pro got so interesting this year is that it's a right-down-the-middle option: not too expensive, not too complicated, and not too weird, but very capable of driving the essential stuff you'd want to sequence. Bassline, some drums, maybe a lead – in whatever genre you happen to use – it's covered. So, that was all good enough. But what's been impressive as the year has gone on is that Arturia haven't …
Mobile beat rig: MeeBlip, Elastic Drums, BeatStep Pro
Jamming: the idea is to make music by connecting directly to gestures so you make something spontaneous. And if music technology is jam session friendly, this finally means you can do it together – not just alone.
OS X El Capitan update breaks some music software
You know the drill. There's a new operating system from Apple. It breaks some music software. If you don't like things breaking, you should wait a bit. Then once you've verified the stuff you need is compatible, go for it – it's probably better than the last OS once the wrinkles are ironed out. This post occurs with each new OS, a bit like some sites do Holiday Shopping Guides, or April Fools' jokes. I could almost turn it into a Mad Libs post. But here are the specifics.
Skip the Computer: BeatStep, Programmed with iPad, SysEx Hack
Blessed be MIDI, again, for making us independent. Frankfurt am Main-based untergeekDE decided he didn't want to go to a Mac or Windows PC just to edit settings on his Arturia BeatStep. MIDI (System Exclusive messages)m to the rescue. Actually, even calling this a 'hack' isn't really fair: this is exactly how this is supposed to work. Edit the settings you want on the hardware using anything you like, in this case taking advantage of TB MIDI Stuff. That handy app is practically reason enough to get an iPad, even a compatible used one. In the process, untergeek even changed …
What if we used stereo minijack cables for MIDI?
"It was acceptable in the 80s…" The standard MIDI DIN cable – that's the big honkin' connector you use on most of your MIDI gear – has become the bane of music hardware makers. The problem is, as gear has gotten smaller, the standard DIN connector hasn't. And that's a big problem, literally. To add a MIDI port to a device, you need to not only have enough clearance for the connector itself, but the whole around the port and the physical assembly that contains it. Speaking as a hardware maker, that takes up space you can't even see from …

Video: Dave Cameron on Clubhouse Confidential
UPDATE: MLB.com has uploaded Cameron's appearance to their site, so that all the world can remember this world-changing moment.
An enterprising member of the World Wide Web appears to have captured and uploaded to YouTube footage from managing editor Dave Cameron's appearance yesterday (Monday) on MLB Network's Clubhouse Confidential (link).
Absent from this clip — and I don't know why, really — is the three-minute stretch during which Cameron made a series of horrible remarks about Brian Kenny's mother, a lot of it in what I'm pretty sure was Polish.

Will Gina Carano be fighting again?

Man she is so hot its crazy!
Or is she going to be an actress now?
Why would she be acting?
Golden Boy 360
yeah shes going to be fighting..........fighting me off of her
Real King Kong
So the answer is no-one knows, but a lot of people want to have kids with her?
I've heard some new that she'll be in StrikeForce
Why would she be acting?
She done a movie with Michael Jai White and some others, and more than likely she'll get some more roles since shes hot and can kick some ass.
GINA CARANO SAYS CYBORG FIGHT WILL HAPPEN (http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=8427&zoneid=2)
Gina Carano has been enjoying her time away from the spotlight, even if it's been harder than ever to stay out of it.
"I've spent a little time by myself, just detoxing," said Carano. "I don't always have to be in the spotlight – maybe get some other girls out there. I've been taking some time with myself to keep my head straight."
Keeping a level head has been a big job in the world of celebrity.
"I do that," she said of her relative seclusion. "I disappear and I do my thing, and that way I can always be humble and have my head on.
MMAWeekly.com caught up with Carano at The Fight Expo in Del Mar, Calif., and saw a never-ending circle of well-wishers who followed the MMA star's every move. She answered every request for a photo or autograph, smiling as fans sidled up to her.
Lately, she's been more a fan of the sport than a practitioner. She doesn't miss the action.
"I'm good," she said. "It's nice to be a fan of the sport and watch and see what's going on, and step outside and see that there's a bigger world out there, and kind of appreciate it from a different angle. We have a really great sport here. This is a great thing to be a part of."
Her next career move is the big question on fans' minds. A lot is riding on her re-emergence. She's far and away the most bankable female mixed martial artist in the short history of the sport, and as proven by her time with EliteXC, the promotion that airs her fights will see a dramatic increase in viewers.
In February, her move to Strikeforce seemed a mere formality when the San Jose promotion purchased her fight contract from the ailing ProElite. But according to several sources MMAWeekly.com spoke to, she'll have to be paid accordingly for her drawing power, and there's no guarantee a new deal will be reached.
Carano maintains a solution will be reached that will put her back in action in the near future.
"I just had to weigh some options," she explained. "I'm making these decisions, so nobody else is going to make these decisions for me. I have to make them, and so we're going to get something figured out and I'll be fighting.
"I pray about it and see what would be a good move for my career, and I just know that no matter what, any fight from here is going to be a big fight, and a tough one. Maybe it's the calm before the storm."
The current storm on the horizon is Christian "Cyborg" Santos. The fearsome striker made her wish to fight Carano known again at Strikeforce's press conference announcing the upcoming "Shamrock vs. Diaz." Santos is scheduled for the April 11 card against submission specialist Hitomi Akano, and a win could position her for a summer showdown with Carano.
"It's gonna happen," said Carano of the much-anticipated fight. "Actually, the only person I can think about right now. My focus is on her, and I don't really want to fight anybody else but her. Let's do it.
"Both of us want to make it happen, and it's probably going to happen this year."
In the coming months, Carano will return to the gym to work on basics, slowly turning up her intensity for a possible fight.
She anticipates a bright year for women's MMA in 2009.
"I see it continually blowing up," she said. "There's a lot of talented girls that people haven't met yet. There's so many faces for these people to fall in love with. It's exciting, because I gotta be at the beginning when it started getting popular, and I'm just so blessed. I know so many girls out there that are good. So I'm just blessed to be a part of it."

Leslie Howard passed away on 1st Jun 1943 aged 50. His last relationship was when Leslie Howard and Violette Cunnington were dating for 4 years before Violette Cunnington died aged 32.
Leslie Howard was in relationships with Violette Cunnington (1938 - 1942), Merle Oberon (1934 - 1935), Conchita Montenegro (1931) and Ruth Martin (1916 - 1943).
He is rumoured to have hooked up with Marlene Dietrich (1936), Katharine Hepburn (1933), Mary Pickford (1933), Myrna Loy (1932), Marion Davies (1931 - present), Tallulah Bankhead (1927) and Helen Deutsch.
Leslie Howard had 2 children, Ronald and Leslie Ruth.
Leslie Howard is a 50 year old English Actor. Born Leslie Howard Steiner on 3rd April, 1893 in Forest Hill, London, England, United Kingdom and educated at Alleyn's School, Dulwich, London, England, UK, he is famous for The Green Hat in a career that spans 1917–1943. His zodiac sign is Aries.
Leslie Howard was in 8 on-screen matchups, notably with Ann Harding in The Animal Kingdom (1932), Bette Davis in The Petrified Forest (1936), Ingrid Bergman in Intermezzo: A Love Story (1939), Marion Davies in Five and Ten (1931) and Norma Shearer in Romeo and Juliet (1936).

Leslie Howard (3 April 1893 – 1 June 1943) was an English stage and film actor, director, and producer. Probably best remembered for playing Ashley Wilkes in Gone with the Wind (1939), he also appeared in Berkeley Square (1933), Of Human Bondage (1934), The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934), The Petrified Forest (1936), Pygmalion (1938), Intermezzo (1939), "Pimpernel" Smith (1941) and The First of the Few (1942).
I simply love him since I was ten years old
The epitome of the true British gentleman and a wonderful actor - I absolutely love Leslie Howard!
Que los angeles iluminen tus sueos en el cielo y en el fondo del mar las caracolas te susurren mi cancion,hasta que nos volvamos a encontrar.Buenas noches dulce principe.
Saludos a todos desde Espaa.Soy una admiradora incondicional de Leslie Howard,uno de los actores mas guapos y elegantes del cine.Me tiene completamente fascinada y hechizada.Dios te bendiga Leslie.
Leslie did insist that Bogey play the part of Mantee, if not, then he would not play Alan. Great movie!
I love Leslie Howard. He was a nice looking man, and a very good actor.
I agree witn the GingerOnMars comment. Leslie wanted Bogie fot that part and that`s why Bogie called his daughter Leslie
Perhaps sombody can help me clear up a mystery. Several years after the death of Leslie Howard, probably in 1951, my grandmother and my mother made a strange encounter on the beach of Alassio on the Italian Riviera. They met a gentleman in every respect equal to actor Leslie Howard. This gentleman spoke a little Italian and had a brief conversation with the two ladies. My mother and my grandmother did not see him anymore and were never able to know who that mysterious man could be. That was especially exciting for my grandmother who had been a big fan of the died actor. Does anybody know if Leslie Howard had a double? Thanks for the help you can give me.
I`m not allowed to edit the biography section of this page, but I`d like to say to anyone interested: It wasn`t Bogie who helped Leslie get the part in The Petrified Forest; It was Leslie who insisted Bogie be case, stating `No Bogart, No Howard`. Leslie was a lot more famous than Bogie at that time (1936).
Help keep Leslie Howard profile up to date.
Connect any celebrity with Leslie Howard to see how closely they are linked... romantically!

Richard Rahn is an economist and the current chairman [2] of the Institute for Economic Growth (IGEG). He sits on the advisory boards of numerous think-tanks and advocacy groups. Rahn is also the founder of Novecon companies, and currently sits as the chair of Novecon Financial Ltd. [2]
According to his profile at the IGEG [3], Rahn served for two terms (2002-2008) as the first non-Caymanian member of the Board of Directors of the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority. In the 1980s he was the Vice President and Chief Economist of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, Executive Vice President and Board member of the National Chamber Foundation, and the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Economic Growth.
In 1990, Dr. Rahn founded the Novecon companies including Sterling Semiconductor (now owned by Dow Corning) and he still serves on the boards of private companies. [3]
He was the Executive Director of the American Council for Capital Formation. In 1990-1991, he served as the U.S. co-chairman of the Bulgarian Economic Growth and Transition Project. In 1982, President Reagan appointed Dr. Rahn as a member of the Quadrennial Social Security Advisory Council. During the 1988 Presidential campaign, he served as an economic advisor to President G.H.W. Bush.
The American Council for Capital Formation [4] (ACCP) is a DC-based free market think tank that has received over $1.6 million from oil-giant ExxonMobil [5]. [5]

Stance on Climate Change
"Despite the prediction of all the major climate models, the Earth has been getting cooler since 1998." [4]
Key Quotes
"There is almost no agreement about the rate of [global] warming. There is also considerable disagreement about how much of the warming is man-made – by increasing CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels – and dispute about how much of the additional CO2 will be absorbed by faster vegetation growth and the ocean…
The big question, at least for me as an economist, is whether moderate global warming will be good or bad for mankind. Most evidence strongly suggests modest global warming will be beneficial." [5]
Key Deeds
March, 2008
Rahn was a speaker [8] at the Heartland [9] Institute's First International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC1) [10]. [6]

First Ever Images Of Giant Squid Captured In Natural Habitat
Category: Technology
/ Jan 08, 2013 9:54AM EDT
Still photos taken from the world's first moving images of the mysterious giant squid in its natural habitat have been released by documentary filmmakers in conjunction with Japanese broadcaster NHK and the Discovery Channel. The video was shot last July, south of Tokyo, and shows a three-meter-long cephalopod. The Zoologist at Japan's National Museum of Nature and Science, Tsunemi Kubodera, who led the 40-day expedition, says capturing the creature on video was no small achievement. "Many people have tried to capture an image of a giant squid alive in its natural habitat, whether that's researchers or film crews. But they all failed. These are the first ever images of a real live giant squid," Kubodera told Reuters in an interview on Monday (January 7). Kubodera succeeded in taking the first still photographs of a living giant squid in 2005, and landed another on a baited line in 2006. "I've seen a lot of giant squid specimens in my time, but mainly those hauled out of the ocean. This was the first time for me to see with my own eyes a giant squid swimming in its deep sea habitat. It was stunning, I couldn't have dreamt that it would be so beautiful. It was such a wonderful creature," Kubodera said. The secret to their success, was a small submersible vessel kitted out with lights invisible to both human and cephalopod eyes. A three man team -- Kubodera, a cameraman and the submersible pilot -- drifted silently down to 630 meters and released the bait. They then started to film, and followed the squid further into the deep to around 900 meters. NHK will air its video footage on January 13, followed by the Discovery Channel on January 27.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Gotta Geta Gato
The good news about Gato is that it sounds as good as it looks (IMHO, of course). Sounding great on Reference Recordings' much-heralded disc of Copland's Symphony 3, with fabulous bass, the Danish company's new DIA-250 ($4500250Wpc into 8 ohms) and DIA-400 ($600045Wpc into 8 ohms) class-D integrated amplifiers produced fabulous bass, with 0.33 dB adjustments. Included are Burr-Brown PCM1794 dual chipsets that automatically upsample to 24/192, an asynchronous USB input, and a home-theater pass through.

ESPN football analyst and former Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi talked on Wednesday about the Patriots-Jets rivalry and why opponents seem to be picking on the New England secondary this season.
Opponents have attempted 36 passes of more than 21 yards downfield against the Patriots, the most of any team in the league. The Pats, to their credit, have intercepted four of those throws, tied for most in the NFL.
"That's reputation, a reputation that the Patriots have now," Bruschi said on SportsCenter (video above). "They're seeing this secondary, they're seeing where the weaknesses are, why should we pound it into a brick wall, which is Vince Wilfork, which is Brandon Spikes and Jerod Mayo? Let's just go deep and test these guys because you're either going to get a pass interference call or the defensive backs aren't going to play the ball well in the air or you're going to get a completion.
"The chances are high that you'll have success testing them down the field. The Seattle Seahawks knew this and the rest of the league knows it too. If you want to get big chunks you can do it against the New England secondary.
As a veteran of 26 games between the Patriots and Jets (during which the Patriots were 17-9), Bruschi says New England keeps things even tighter than usual when the Jets are the opponent.
"This is just the week when coach Belichick addresses the team on how to address the media," Bruschi says. "He will rarely do that but he knows the emotions of the players can sometimes come out with a microphone in your face. So i'm sure he's saying this week, Welker you keep your mouth shut, Brady let's keep it under the vest in front of the press and all you rookies, you don't speak at all.
"He wants to keep it close to the vest here, but believe me, they're emotional. the Patriots and Jets, they hate each other."

This review is from: SilenX EFX-09-15 92mm Effizio Quiet Case Fan
Pros: Quiet
Two different connectors
Rubber mounts.
Cons: None yet.
Other Thoughts: Got this to replace the stock fan in my APEX TX-381-C Case that was so loud I couldn't think clearly.
This fan is WAY WAY quieter. I'm cheap so when I say it's worth the 10 bucks or whatever it was, believe it. (it took me 5 years to upgrade though!) The rubber mounts worked fine with that case. And yes, in the description for that specific case it says it came with a 90mm fan but this 92mm fan fits perfectly... typo or insignificant technical difference, whatever, it works and it's quiet. If you're not Over-clocking and want a simple quiet case fan, this is it.

21 March 2012
British No.1 Andy Murray has spoken ┬Āto those interested in tennis tickets about the need for compulsory heart tests for tennis players following Bolton footballer Fabrice Muamba collapsing at White Hart Lane on Saturday.
The 23-year-old fell to the floor during an FA Cup quarter-final tie against Tottenham and he is now showing positive signs of recovery, although it is unknown what long-term damage there will be.
Part of the reason Muamba survived was the quick medical attention he received at the ground and Murray is convinced Tennis players should have their health assessed more regularly.
The Scotsman said: ŌĆ£I was actually watching the game when it happened and I was head in hands. You just canŌĆÖt believe it. ItŌĆÖs an amazing fight from him and hopefully heŌĆÖs going to make a safe recovery.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£I think itŌĆÖs time in almost all sports everybody should have screenings before they can compete. This has happened too many times. Here in the States itŌĆÖs happened in high school and college basketball games and, of course, itŌĆÖs happened a few times in football.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£With all the pressure and stress of modern sport you have no idea how much you are pushing yourself on the pitch or court, I think itŌĆÖs something thatŌĆÖs just got to be done.ŌĆØ
Murray┬Āthen spoke about the own tests he undertakes, saying that his medical team always keep a close eye on things and he hopes this is the same across the sport before long.
He continued: ŌĆ£I do my tests independently. IŌĆÖve been doing my tests for three years now so I have heart scans, heart monitors and other tests. I started when these things seemed to be happening more often.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£But itŌĆÖs not something thatŌĆÖs done within tennis. But I just think it should be. Everyone should have a medical or a check-up before youŌĆÖre allowed to compete because itŌĆÖs such a horrible thing for people to witness.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£The reality is if something doesnŌĆÖt happen about it, itŌĆÖs likely to happen again at some stage, and itŌĆÖs just so, so horrible. You donŌĆÖt wish something like that to happen to anybody.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs clear to me that all the teams should be checked. IŌĆÖm not sure if they do, but I know in tennis we donŌĆÖt.ŌĆØ
It will be interesting to see how things develop in this field. Hopefully Muamba will make a full recovery and it can have a positive effect on sport across the world.

As long as you dont copy what its based on it wont automatically suck.
Just like when they make a movie then make the game exactly like the movie.
But if you create a whole new game that is influenced by whatever it is, instead of just copy and pasting then you can make a good game. Same goes for when making games into movies.
Btw, its not a fighting game, its a Action/Samurai game. Samuel L. Jackson and Phil Lamarr doing voices ^_^. I think RZA might be making some soundtracks for the game, you know... since Wu-Tang is really into Martial Arts movies and the whole culture.
I think if I get the game I might be like that zilla guy and overrate it simply because im liking everything I hear. But to each his own, and it will be my own

but i would actually like to see a spin-off of the conduit series on the 3DS. I mean it can handle all the graphical capabilities and the multiplayer (MPH was pretty good). And it wouldnt have to be part of the main story, but rather as a backdrop. like maybe it could follow characters only mentioned in the conduit 1. what do you think?
hmm i see what u mean. oh well, just thought it woulda been cool to take TCon on the go.

This was a great learning experience! The class was very, very helpful. Just the thumb to finish and then on to mitten #2. thank you Sunne for a terrific class
You did a great job! Thanks for sharing your progress photo.
Pair complete! This project was a lot of " firsts"! First pair of mitts, first stranded work and first magic loop. All in all I'm pleased with the result. My tension is a bit tight but I'm sure that takes practice. I had a heck of a time, with magic loop, getting the thumb stitches on the needles in the right order, any tips for next time? Thank you for the great class, I don't think I would have ever attempted these mitts without your inspiration.
If it helps at all, when I use magic loop, I also use DPNs for the thumb. ML is so tricky for the thumbs!


text: Fluoridation of drinking water has long been a controversial issue in the United States. One of the first communities to add fluoride to their water was Newburgh, New York. In March 1944, a plan was announced to begin to add fluoride to the Newburgh water supply on April 1 of that year. During the month of April, citizens of Newburgh complained of digestive problems, which were attributed to the fluoridation of the water. However, there had been a delay in the installation of the fluoridation equipment so that fluoridation did not begin until May 2. Explain how the placebo effect/nocebo effect is related to this example.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Tissue-specific drug delivery remains one of modern medicine's toughest challenges. Recent research has pointed to nanotechnology as one solution, but nanoparticles made of synthetic lipids can be toxic.
To improve nanotech-based drug delivery, researchers today suggest looking no further than the breakfast table—grapefruit-derived nanovectors (GNV), they say, can effectively transport various therapeutic agents, and are associated with fewer adverse effects than their synthetic counterparts.
University of Louisville's Huang-Ge Zhang, D.V.M., and his colleagues show in Nature Communications that these nanoparticles made of grapefruit-derived lipids can deliver chemotherapeutic agents, short interfering RNA, DNA expression vectors, and proteins to various cell types.
The researchers demonstrated the in vivo targeting specificity of GNVs by co-delivering therapeutics with folic acid. "Our GNVs can be modified to target specific cells—we can use them like missiles to carry a variety of therapeutic agents for the purpose of destroying diseased cells," Dr. Zhang said. "Furthermore, we can do this at an affordable price."
While the scientists also analyzed nanoparticles from tomatoes and grapes, they ultimately chose grapefruits because they offer larger quantities of lipids.
The team also demonstrated the therapeutic potential of GDVs in a Phase I clinical investigation involving colon cancer patients. To date, no toxicity has been observed among patients who orally took the anti-inflammatory agent curcumin encapsulated in grapefruit nanoparticles, the researchers report.
The study, "Delivery of therapeutic agents by nanoparticles made of grapefruit-derived lipids," was published online in Nature Communications May 21.

Milwaukee designer Bree Rose puts blankets to good use
It's that time of the year when we're running for cover, huddling beneath the bright geometric shapes that have been knitted or crocheted by our matriarchs (and the occasional patriarch) and tucked into trunks and closets.
How great would it be if the blankets that keep us cozy on cold days could go with us out in to the world? Is there such a thing as comfy, cuddly couture? »Read Full Article

Historical Traveler Reviews Residence Belehradska Prague
Excellent stay at B35
At B35 we had a wonderful stay. We were a group of six friends so we booked A1 apartment that has three bedrooms.
The apartment was extremely clean, with central heating and hot water all day long. It has a kitchen too.
B35 is located exactly 5 minutes from the center of Prague by tram (No 6 or No11). The public transportation is excellent. We never waited over a minute at the tram station.
But the best thing of B35 is its reception. Petra and Vladimir were very polite and gave us accurate information about where to exchange, to eat e.t.c.
We suggest B35 to everyone who wants a relevant cheap stay, near the center of Prague, at a very clean and comfortable apartment.
Habe f�r meine 4-k�pfige Familie in Prag Residence Belehradska 35 ein App. gebucht, A4, super sauber, toller Service, Zentrumsnah, Familienfreundlich, sehr empfehlenswert Preis Leistungsverh�ltnis sehr zufriedenstellend, super Aussicht von der Terasse. Genial.
Einfach BOMBE
Sehr gute Lage - Zentrum 5 Min.mit Tram.
Grosse , vollummin�se Reumlichkeiten - mein Geheimtip A7.
Ist zwar nicht im Web , aber daf�r mit dem Garten und Kamin�ffen. Am Empfang ist die Petra und der Wladi,die beide sind einfach super und sehr hilfsbereit.( Taxibestellung , Restaurantempfehlung , Ausfl�ge....etc.).
Sonst ALLES sehr sauber und als Bonus gibt es Internetanschluss im Apartament - GRATIS. Wir haben eie wundersch�ne Woche in Prag erlebt und ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen.
Stay Away!
We had a terrible experience at this hotel. When we arrived to the residence we realized that the hotel was not located in a very nice area of Prague. We were told we couldn't park our car on the street or the windows would be smashed, but the hotel didn't provide parking. We also quickly realized that we were located much further away from the area we were here to see (40 minutes) due to traffic. We stayed our first night and told them we would be leaving early. They made us pay for two additional nights in cash, even though the cancellation policy (which we had in writing) said you would only be charged for one nights stay on your credit card. They refused to acknowledge this, even though we had the paperwork. Rather than argue the point we just paid and left. I strongly suggest that you do NOT stay there!
Wonderful accomodation
I really enjoyed my stay in the single apartment. The rooms were clean and the kitchen had everything from a cutting board to a coffee maker. The location is great too. Just a few tram stops from the main areas. The only inconvience was the absence of a phone, but they had free internet. The staff was very helpful too.
Great Value For Money
I stayed in one of the single rooms (S-5) and paid EUR44/CZK1000 per night in October, which is still just in high season. It would be even cheaper if I had waited until November.
I spent a lot of time searching for something cheaper and found very little.
The apartment is very spacious, even though it is one of the smallest that the residence does, with a decent sized kitchen. If I was really being picky, then I would say that I was a little disappointed that there were 2 single beds in the room rather than a double and the quality of the furniture was a little cheap. But this is a minor problem. Most important was the fact that the place was spotlessly clean.
A huge bonus was the fact that each apartment has wi-fi coverage and a broadband socket, with no charges for being online. As I need to spend a minimum of 2 hours a day online to keep my business going, this is a major plus point in a budget apartment like this.
As others have said, the apartment is not right in the center, but there is a tram stop right outside the door and the number 6 tram takes you to within a few minutes walk of most of the sites.
All in all, highly recommended.
Fantastic Apartments
**A5 apartment**. A fantastic apartment. Extremeley clean, Very spacious. Very well furnished with everything bar the food. We wanted for nothing. The staff are very friendley and helpful. It is a 15/20 minute walk or a three minute walk to the tram and a 5 minute ride from the center. It is in a great position. I would highly recommend this accomdation. A totally enjoyable stay ( 14/09/06 - 17/09/06 ). We also used the taxi service by the Hotel, proved cheaper.

Great place to stay
My boyfriend and myself stayed in apartment N1 at B-35 place. It was really great. The rooms are big, very-very well equipped and clean. You will not miss anything, there is even wi-fi internet all over the place. The staff is very nice and will do everything to help you. It is not located right in the middle of all the turistic places which makes it even better since it could be very crowed in those areas and much more expensive. You just need to take the tramway # 6 or # 11 that stops right in front of the flats and you will be in all the action in 5 minutes. Or you can walk and get there in 15 minutes.
I really recommend for everyone looking for a nice place to stay and avoid being ripped off in some better located hotels. To me, these apartments are just great. And don't miss out having dinner in the restaurant 100 meter down the road of B-35, just in the old train station. You can eat there really great local food for 20 dollars. I promise you it is a lot better than what you find downtown. Have fun !
Apartment Convenience in Prague
B-35 exceeded our expectations, giving us not just a specious room but our own Kitchen and bathroom, both private and roomy. The reception hallway is also impressive and modern. Guests get electronic key card security and access to a free internet terminal which is troublefree. Their website contains accurate photos which don't exagerate the space.
The fully equipped kitchen is a real find. The supermarket up the street sells very cheap food which you can prepare in your room, saving you loads of money. The only problem is you need to wash the dishes you use. It would be especially good for long stays in Prague. The rooms S1-S6 could also sleep upto 4 people for even greater budgeting.
Not right in the tourist centre but it's a convenient spot. From subway I P Pavlova, walk or catch tram 6 or 11 to Nuselske Schody. Some people walked everywhere in Prague from B-35 and didn't use public transport.
Belehradska Apartments great place to stay.
Stayed at the Residence Belehradska 35 Apartments. Great value at �40 per night for the apartment, for four people.
Good location only three tram stops from town, two stops I.P. Pavlova for metro C. Close enough to easily get into town, yet far enough out, to avoid being ripped off, or pickpocketed. Tram numbers 11, 6,56.
The apartments are newly renovated and furnished to a high standard, and are perfectly secure. The staff are very helpful and friendly.
There is a good selection of restaurants within a five minute walk, with main courses from 125kc.
Local bars are very pleasant and friendly with a selection of beers at around 27 kc. .5L
Try the Woodstock right across the street. 50s 60s music, and the CDs which you cannot get in England, are for sale.
Would definately stay here again.

When he talks of his son " of the staff sergeant, the paratrooper, the firefighter " Greg Bauer breaks down.
He has to stop, take a breath and try to relax. Try to find his voice again. Greg Bauer's son, Justin Bauer, 24, was killed Saturday in Iraq.
"He was a good man ... a good soldier," his father said. And then the father stopped to try to breathe again.
Greg Bauer lives in La Salle, and his son was a 2002 graduate of Berthoud High School. It was Justin's second combat tour of Iraq, and he'd already won the Bronze Star and had a Purple Heart along with numerous other medals. He joined the Army in 2004, and he was due for discharge this May.
Greg Bauer said his son had only been married three months, to his high school sweetheart, now Kari Bauer, living at Fort Bragg, N.C. Justin's mother is Connie
Haddock of Loveland.
Greg said his son was killed during a "massive attack" on the platoon Justin was leading. It was an explosion " probably from an IED, or improvised explosive device " that took his life.
"What was ironic about Justin was that his granddad was in Korea," Greg Bauer said, "and a member of the 82nd Airborne, the same outfit Justin was in."
Justin Bauer already had spent 16 months in Iraq when he came home in November. He returned to Iraq just before Thanksgiving.
"I couldn't be a more fortunate father," Greg Bauer said, tears flowing. "He was such a good son and a good mentor to his two younger brothers."
His father said Justin was a football player and wrestler in high school, became a firefighter for the Berthoud Fire Department, and even worked as a firefighter in Antarctica for a scientific research company.
When he left the Army, Justin Bauer planned to return to firefighting as a career.
His unit already had a memorial service in Iraq, and Justin's body will be flown back to Colorado for burial. The family hasn't made plans for the service at this time.
To date, 4,226 U.S. soldiers have died in Iraq, including 59 from Colorado, according to the independent Web site iCasualties.org.

Erie school foundation awards arts mini-grants
Some of Jon Nolan's band students at Erie's Wilson School can't afford lunch, let alone a reed for their musical instruments.
That's about to change.
Wilson is one of six recipients of arts mini-grants from the Partnerships for Erie's Public Schools. The nonprofit that supports the Erie School District awarded a total of more than $7,000 for arts-related projects Thursday, including Nolan's project to start a "reed bank" at Wilson.
Nolan said many of his students might like to choose woodwinds, like a saxophone or clarinet, but don't because they can't afford the reeds. Instead, they choose trombones or trumpets.
The result? Students who don't play the instrument they're truly interested in and an unbalanced band.
The reed bank would make one reed per month available to each student, and make them responsible for taking care of the reed.
"This takes money out of the equation," said Nolan, who received $1,415 for the project.
The other projects funded were: The purchase of digital tablets for Roosevelt Middle School students to create "I Am" posters depicting their cultures, hobbies and personalities, $1,500; a project allowing Grover Cleveland Elementary School students to participate in drum circles, $1,400; maintaining and improving the Erie All City Marching Band, $1,500; steppingstone mosaics outside JoAnna Connell Elementary School, $530; and student attendance at a live theater performance of "Charlotte's Web," $882.
Money awarded comes from individual donations, a donation from the Sunflower Club, and money raised through the Erie Gives campaign. The foundation asked that all grants touch on the theme of diversity.
"We think diversity is a strength of our schools," said Daria Devlin, director of the Partnership for Erie's Public Schools. "We think it's something really to be proud of and highlighted."
Erie schools Superintendent Jay Badams thanked all of the teachers who applied.
"These are teachers going above and beyond to provide additional opportunities for kids," he said.

Emmy nominees with Wisconsin ties
The number of Emmy nominees with ties to Wisconsin are slim but not quite none, depending on your definition of "state ties."
Mine is rather elastic, and includes anyone who drove through the state on their way to somewhere else.
This includes: University of Wisconsin-Madison alum Steve Levitan, whose show "Modern Family" received 15 nominations, including for Levitan for best director; Shawano native Mark Samels, who is nominated as executive producer of "The Amish" on the PBS series "American Experience"; and Richard Dahm, a Waukesha native and former writer for The Onion, who is one of multiple writing nominees for "The Colbert Report." »Read Full Blog Post

Will New Hollywood Movie Come Here?
Another star-studded Hollywood film could film here this summer, said Dave Fantle, vice president of public relations for Visit Milwaukee and board president of Film Wisconsin.

But since Wisconsin has curtailed the tax advantages that brought the film starring Johnny Depp to the state in 2008 the majority of shooting "will be in neighboring states that have incentives," said Fantle. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Public Enemies Thanks Wisconsin
If audiences watching Michael Mann's John Dillinger film "Public Enemies," with Johnny Depp, don't know the scenes they are seeing were filmed in Wisconsin, they can stay for the credits, in which the various state locales are listed and thanked by name. According to the production notes they are:
- State of Wisconsin
- Wisconsin State Capital - Lt Gov. Barbara Lawton
- Film Wisconsin, Inc.
- The City and people of Columbus, WI - Mayor Nancy Osterhaus
- The Cithy and people of Oskosh, WI
- Oshkosh Police and Fire Departments
- Experimental Aircraft Association
- Winnebego County, Wi.
- LaFayette county courthouse, Wi.
- Little Bohemia Lodge - Maitowish Waters, Wi - Dan Johns, Jr.
- Iron County, Wi.
- Mirror Lake State Park, Wi.
- The City and people of Beaver Dam, Wi.
- The City and people of Darlington, Wi.
- The City and people of MIlwaukee, Wi.
- Milwaukee County Historical Society.
Yes, I know. They spelled Winnebago, wrong. At least in the notes.

Well England is part of the Island Britain, and the English language originated from England, so therefore logic dictates that English did in fact originate from Britain.

Skip to comments.What a teacher said to my son today....
Posted on 10/22/2009 5:53:16 PM PDT by Lets Be Frank
So my son was slouching at his desk in his reading class. The teacher comes up and says " If Obama walked in this class right no, what do you think he'd think about you?".
My son answered..."That I'm slouching?"
Teacher.."But what do you think he'd think ABOUT you?"
Son.." That I'm being lazy?"
Teacher.." and don't you want to make Pres. Obama proud? Don't you want to please him?"
I was stunned..I bust out laughing because it sounds so silly! I told my son I'm glad he didn't smart off about Obama because she is grading him, but that didn't seem appropriate (aside from sounding stupid) and to let me know if she does this kind of thing again. My son..know to be a bit of a drama king, kept exclaiming that she is trying to indocrinate him. I told him he's too smart for it to work..:)
Sure sounds silly ... what age is your son?
Your son should have replied: "Do I look like Larry Sinclair to you?"
R U freakin' serious?
What grade is your son in?
My grandaughter would have been suspended for her response to this stupid teacher. She is not an Obozo supporter.
" If Obama walked in this class right now,
what do you think he'd think about you?".
That I'm a typical white kid?
Son: That I need a better Teacher who focuses on teaching
My son is 12...in the 7th grade.
It is not for us to have to please Obama, he works for us. He has to please us and he's doing a lousy job.
Maybe his teacher should get in her thick head that not ALL adore BHO.....we adore the only one, the truth, the light and the way...our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
I'm tired of this over-rated child and his swooning goons! Put down your bong, teacher and STFU!
My son is not a supporter. He said he came close to smarting off, but he is really trying to bring his grades up so he can earn a cell phone.
Well said. My first thought was "Obama groupie".
I told my son that to make Obama proud he'd have to do pretty underhanded and unconstitutional things. And then I wouldn't be proud.
When my 27 yr old son was in grade school, a black priest told my son he clapped liked a white boy. He looked at him funny and said, " I am a white boy." No response from the priest.
Your son in a school where at least one of the teachers is a lunatic.
Imagine if the teacher had asked him what Jesus might think about him...
So my son says: "That I want to grow up to be President?
It would be worth the detention.
Afterward he told me: You are right but just don't tell him that.
That's fine. But the question is: "what is your 27 year old son doing in grade school?"
what state are u in
My son had to endure a week of being muslim in the 7th grade last year.
Jesus is banned from the room but those low life's are taught.
Great reply. Parents should be teaching their kids about real life at home so that they can cope with this type of teacher without being a robot....But since he knew when to stop, your doing a great job....:O)
LOL - that would be my dad too.
You want to know the biggest fraud of all...My son attended the local YMCA for kindergarten..as you walk into the lobby of the YMCA, you see a lovely picture of Jesus Christ and the YMCA posts the Christian values on signs throughout the YMCA, yet no celebration of Christmas! but all the other fake and phony religions were celebrated...I held my tongue. BUT, I'm sure knowing myself as righteous as I am from my head to my toes...I will probably appear before some school board about some issue, I am not going to be assimilated with...professing my beliefs before my son graduates from High School!
IMO, your answer was best!
7th grade was wonderful for me. I remember coming to class in the morning and before fist hour began, the morning announcements would bellow over the speaker system. In the 7th grade, I knew I was a conservative. One morning I cheered when the principal announced that Ronald Reagan was the new President of the United States of America.
How sad this young man must be hearing a teacher ask him what Obama would think of him because he was being a kid and slouching in his chair. Too bad this young man did not have the opportunity to witness the magic which was Reagan and to see how a real leader reacts under pressure. What a shame for a teacher to use a communist pig as a positive role model for a young man.
[... That Im a typical white kid? ...]
Is he white?
Thanks, it's really something we have to bring home to all politicians!
We did the indian guides deal with the Y. You go to the camps and look at the signs through the years and about the mid 1960's they all stop thanking God or Jesus and just have generic sayings.
Been hitting the sauce tonight??
sounds like my wonderful Dad! He personally kicked his 7 sons asses and many a schoolmate in the matters of the world! He was a wee Scotsman in stature but I don't know of any man that I have ever met in my life that was pure masculine man in every aspect of himself. I profess he was the most wonderful person I have ever met in my life! Jordy (George/Dad) you rocked! We miss you! Sorry for sounding off but when it comes to matters of protecting your children...there are Dad's that do rock! and mine was one.
As am I, keep up the good fight, it's nice to know I'm not alone :-)
YOur son is just fine.. there is no problem here. He is a leader NOT a follower. He beats to his own drum and I bet you'll tell me his is one smart kid!
Kudos to him! Keep it up son!
I think you should go down to the school and make it very clear to the teacher that her job is to teach and not conduct political indoctrination.
And make no mistake at all, that is exactly what it was.
No, how is it?
LOL. awesome.
You are definately not alone. I lead my own life full of the best values handed down to me. The biggest values I try to uphold and pass on to my son are empathy, humor and get the facts RIGHT!
When I was in 7th grade the election was between Nixon and McGovern - given what was happening then, and the fact my parents were Democrats, I ignorantly believed McGovern was the best candidate. Thankfully he lost. My first presidential election after turning 18 (1977) was Reagan v Carter - no contest on who to vote for there. I became a Conservative upon turning 18 and have voted that way since.
Wow, so the lefties are using Obama like Santa Claus now. He's keeping his list, and checking it twice...
My son told his reading teacher that Obama was a socialist who was leading our country to destruction. She has since stopped talking about Obama in his class. He also has a copy of the constitution in his wallet and has won more than 1 argument with her with that little tool. Not bad for an 8th grader. He still got an A in her class.
If I may interject...i don't think Mr. Lucky read the post clearly, that's all, no harm intended. Right, Mr. Lucky?!
Wow! Still received an "A" from a liberal teacher. Perhaps there is hope after all.
You shoulda been a diplomat.
It's funny how so many people missed the beginning of the sentence - "WHEN my 27 y/o son WAS in grade school...".
Super fantastic!
i don't know what he would say to me... nor would i care... but i do know what i would say to him.
