Location & area
The apartment is at the main street Psg. De Colom; this is the side street at the end of La Rambla. Walking from Plaza de Catalunya all the way down to the Old Port of Barcelona, La Rambla is one of the world's most famous promenades. While descending it, you will encounter all the activities that make this promenade so special: good restaurants, bars, pubs, the most impressive artists, street theater and off course the little market boots selling flowers and birds.
A side the Rambla you will find the Gothic Quarter with The Picasso Museum, The Parc Ciutadella and the Big Cathedral. But before reaching those you have to find your way through all the little charming streets and squares of the gothic area. Each street with it's own specific character and awkward shops.
Of course there are also sufficient accommodations for those who rather spend there time eating in a typical Spanish restaurant or have a good laugh in one of the many bars. The neighbourhood Borne, famous for its nightlife is within very short distance.
The apartment is situated at 500 meters from the beach and very close to the Rambla. Situated besides the Old Harbour, you can walk alongside the boats until you reach Maremagnum: a high standard and modern shopping mall, created in the harbor of Barcelona. From there a bridge connects you with the world famous promenade La Rambla. The architectural pieces of the Catalan mastermind Gaudí is very well connected with the Barcelona metro-net. The nearest metro station is at 500 meters.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Boba has been redesigned, carrier and website and it is fabulous!
I have a great giveaway coming up at the end but let me tell you what's new with this fabulous brand.
What I like about boba 3G:
I love the comfort of the first boba so I was curious as to how this would stand up. I've carried him for a couple of hours a day when we are out about, by the end of the day I had only slight discomfort. We don't use the stroller as much as he likes to walk everywhere but when he gets tired I can unfold(as you can see below, you can wear neatly around your waist) and place him on my back and he can have a little snooze too.
boba truly is a uniquely designed carrier and I am even more honoured to be involved in the new launch of the boba 3G and that boba called me a babywearing aficionado!
The only con is I think the height of the panel could be higher/longer. I didn't find it to be as high as it boasts. Also I prefer their original Boba's waist belt. It's thicker/wider and not as narrow.
I'm a size 16 and wore it with ease. The shoulder straps aren't as padded as others that I've worn.
I do wish they made a toddler carrier as this is going to be a short lived carrier for us as my son is almost too big for it perhaps that is why it was not as comfy and I wish I had a picture but alas the camera is broken. He's 3 yrs old and I do toddlerwear.
Here are some of the new things with the boba 3G:
|Photo courtesy of boba
* I really like that I can fold the carrier up and not have the straps dangling down my legs.
* The removable sleeping hood is great and can be adjusted with elastic strap.
* Boba can be comfortably worn for parents who are 5'0"-6'3" and the waist strap fits generously as well from 25" to 58". The straps and body of the carrier are 20 inches(straps) and extend up to 40 inches long.
* There's lots of room(well more room) for breastfeeding as the new body of the carrier makes it easier to adjust.
* The patent pending foot straps which is to aid in better support for your kids so their feet are not dangling, this provides a great option to use as they are removable and the straps are wider than the 1st generation of boba carriers. I never really bothered with the foot straps personally.

inside the pocket) as necessary. Your baby's head should be resting on your chest and facing either left or right. Adjust so baby is in the frog legged position.
* There's even a shoulder strap holder for your purse! I've had my bag slip off because of the cushy shoulder straps of my various carries. Now I can snap the strap in and be truly hands free.
* Multiple pockets are great and convenient.
There's so much to say about this carrier all I can truly offer you is to visit their site, here and see for your self how great and unique boba really is. Boba also does wraps! How great is that?
One of my favorite Canadian retailers for Boba is Tiny Tree Hugger based in Manitoba.
Over all it's a nice carrier and provide good positioning for baby, always pay attention to the carrier fitting and the panel is wide for knee to knee comfort to get the "M" position. They have what customer service should be. Good and efficient.
|Put the stroller aside and enjoy the benefits of carrying your baby
The knee to knee here shown shows a proper fit.

Mississippi proposal bans abortion at heartbeat
Just when I thought Texas had the harshest and cruelest of anti abortion laws, Mississippi steps up to the plate to claim the title. The bill has passed in the Mississippi House and heads for the Senate to ban abortion after six weeks of pregnancy.
If passed the bill would require doctors to search for a fetal heartbeat before performing an abortion. If a fetal heartbeat is detected it would make performing an abortion illegal. Fetal heartbeats can be detected at five to six weeks of pregnancy. In some cases it is possible to detect the heartbeat earlier through a more invasive internal ultrasound.
The bill could ban ninety percent of abortions in the state. It would allow exemptions if the woman's life is at risk or no fetal heartbeat can be found. Exemptions would also be made for those women who could prove that their pregnancy is a result of rape or incest.
Clearly, the supporters of this bill have never been pregnant. To even test positive for pregnancy you have to have a high enough level of the pregnancy hormone HCG. It takes several weeks for that hormone to build and create a positive test. Most home pregnancy tests cannot detect the pregnancy hormone until you have missed a period. That would mean the earliest most women would be aware they are pregnant is roughly four weeks. That leaves a two week window for women in Mississippi who would be considering an abortion.
Its ludicrous to think that is enough time to make a life changing decision.
As for the provision in the bill to exempt women in cases of rape or incest, it is flawed as well. More often than not women dont report being raped. Most never go to the police or file a police report, out of fear or shame.
This bill wont reduce abortions. Like most of the other anti abortion legislation, it only makes abortion dangerous. Countless Mississippi women will choose unsafe and illegal abortions in desperation.
All this bill does is legally circumvent Roe vs. Wade. Its not okay for government to tell us what to do with our bodies, and it is not okay for them to use shady tactics to avoid breaking the law.
I hope for the sake of the women of Mississippi and the women of the United States, that this bill is thrown out. Something has to happen to protect the rights and health of women, and so far I am not satisfied that anything has been done.

Palm Springs Real Estate Information
Palm Springs is a medium sized community found in the southern portion of the Golden State, California. Palm Springs has a population of approximately forty two thousand eight hundred residents, making it rather populous for its location in the Coachella Valley. Palm Springs is somewhat similar to the cities of Los Angeles and Las Vegas in the sense that they were both brought into existence from a desert landscape, leading to their designation as desert cities. Palm Springs real estate is spread out over a total area of just above ninety five square miles, including a meager four fifths of a square mile of surface water. Palm Springs has a population density of almost five hundred persons per square mile, and has a metropolitan area including more than four hundred and ten thousand residents.
Palm Springs has a rather low average median household and per capita income, although this does not necessarily reflect a state of widespread poverty. Rather, it is an indication of the large number of retirees that decide to purchase Palm Springs homes for sale. The original inhabitants of what is now considered Palm Springs were the Agua Caliente tribe of Cahuilla Indians, who now reside predominately in the Agua Caliente Reservation. Palm Springs' recent popularity is largely attributable to the year-round high temperatures, which resulted in a boost to the real estate and hospitality sectors of the economy. The name "Palm Springs" is most likely taken from a US government survey which listed the location of a spring near two palm groves.
The educational needs of Palm Springs are met predominately by the Palm Springs Unified School District, which includes a total of fourteen elementary schools, the middle schools of Desert Springs, James Workman, Nellie N. Coffman, and Raymond Cree, as well as four high schools and eight preschools. There are also a number of private schools available to residents of Palm Springs houses for rent, including Xavier College Preparatory High and Marywood-Palm Valley School. Points of interest in Palm Springs include the Moorten Botanical Garden and Cactarium, the San Jacinto Mountains, and the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies.

KISS' Paul Stanley Felt 'Screwed Over' by Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
KISS' Paul Stanley was apparently not happy with the band's experience at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
KISS' Paul Stanley was apparently not happy with the band's experience at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Slash has spoken out about his former rift with Kiss guitarist Paul Stanley, who called out the ex-GN'R guitarist in his book.
KISS frontman Paul Stanley has once again called out the work ethic of former members Peter Criss and Ace Frehley.
The original four members of KISS are now officially Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. Although the April 10 ceremony is in the past, Paul Stanley's criticism of the institution continues. This time, Stanley takes aim at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame co-founder and Rolling Stone editor Jann Wenner, whom Paul Stanley calls a "spineless weasel."
KISS have been in the spotlight nearly as much for their drama as they are for their Rock Hall induction lately, and vocalist Paul Stanley has addressed the band's prickly relationship with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in a new interview.
KISS' Paul Stanley has stirred up a hornets nest with his upcoming memoir, 'Face the Music: A Life Exposed.' One of the passages that has made headlines recently is where he makes accusations of anti-Semitic behavior by the band's former members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. Stanley and fellow Kiss member Gene Simmons are Jewish.
The turmoil between past and current members of KISS has hit a new peak once again. Just days before the extended KISS family will reportedly share a table at the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, guitarist / vocalist Paul Stanley has stated, among other things, that classic members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss "don't belong in the band. And they don't belong in a position to represent the band."
The KISS drama continues as Paul Stanley's long-awaited autobiography, 'Face the Music: A Life Exposed,' which hits shelves on April 8, reportedly contains some serious accusations towards former KISS members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. According to Stanley, he believes the two are anti-Semitic, drawing from "years and years of interactions" as proof.
Though KISS have cranked out their fair share of hard rocking anthems over the years, the band's 1976 ballad 'Beth' remains the highest charting song of their career. Drummer Peter Criss is often credited with the songwriting for the track, but he and Paul Stanley have different accounts as to how the track came about.
KISS have constantly been in the news lately, whether it be quarrels between current and former members regarding their 2014 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or lawsuits that may or may not have merit. However, this story came out of nowhere, as four vandals, wearing masks of KISS guitarist Paul Stanley's iconic 'Starchild' face paint, trashed more than 25 cars at a New Jersey auto body shop.
You'd think after over 40 years of making music, rock legends KISS would be over the moon about their upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. This may be the case for some members, but not Paul Stanley. In fact, the KISS legend goes as far to say, "Was it an honor to be nominated? No."
KISS guitarist / vocalist Paul Stanley has finally penned his official autobiography. 'Face the Music: A Life Exposed' will see an April 22 release, and along with plenty of triumphant stories of rock stardom, Stanley addresses his struggles with Grade 3 Microtia and deafness in his right ear.

Moodle Updates! Winter 2012
Dear Faculty and Staff,
On December 27th, Moodle will be updating from Moodle Core 2.2.3 to the Moodle Core 2.3.3 release.
Something you may really like is the new drag-and-drop feature. You can add files to your course individually or drag-and-drop them when creating a Folder. This works best when using the Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers.
The assignment module has been revised the most: it combines the previous four assignment types into a single assignment with editable settings. So rather than ask "What type of assignment do I want?" you can now add an assignment and select which options you need.
The current assignments in your course are hidden from students until you edit the assignment settings and choose the correct options you need. Attached is a handout explaining how to create, view, and grade an assignment in the new module.
For more information on Assignments and other Moodle updates, see What was updated in Moodle? (Winter 2012). We are available this Friday 9:00AM-12:00PM for walk-in support.
Please let us know how we can be of more assistance through this transition.

Cliff Lee: The Aftermath
As spoiled Yankee fans, many of us mistakenly anticipated the arrival of Cliff Lee was sure to happen since last offseason. In an unexpected turn of events, Lee surprised everyone and took less money and fewer years to be a part of the Phillies video game rotation (sounds like something that happened this summer). The question that I'm sure most Yankee fans are asking themselves now is: what happens next?
A Letter to Murray Chass
I have two main issues with your recent blog entry, "The Dark Side To Overtake Cy Young Award". But before I get to those, I implore you to reflect on one of the main points of your argument. You made reference to Steve Carlton and Murray Dickson, each of whom won an astounding number of games given the team that they pitched for. However, in all the years that this game has been played, it would seem as if it is much more difficult to come up with seasons similar to theirs (success in the win column while playing for awful teams), than it is to come up with seasons similar to Hernandez's 2010. My point is this: Carlton and Dickson are the exception, not the rule. Doesn't that point out a flaw in the win statistic to you? That pitchers who perform at a high level in the eyes of all the non-win statistics we have, metric or tradtional, can fail in the one statistic that you value the most. It doesn't make sense to me. Team wins are clearly the most important thing in baseball and there is certainly value in guys who just plain win ballgames. But when evaluating the performance of individual pitchers, I don't see how wins are even close to the most effective evaluation tool.
Now onto my issues with your piece. "The development, I believe, is directly related to the growing influence of the new-fangled statistics which readers of this site know I have no use for, a fact that sends stats-freak denizens of the blogosphere into a stats-freak frenzy." That, as you know, is a direct quote from your piece. How can you, as a journalist for the New York Times, one of the most reputable papers in the whole world, so blatantly disregard the newest advancements in your field? I can understand if you prefer an old-school mentality when talking about baseball. But you, sir, are a professional. Myself and thousands of others who aspire to have a job like yours look up to you. To me, your attitude towards new stats does not say that you have taken the time to understand them and simply prefer your methods. It says that you have not made an effort to understand anything and that you'd rather gain attention for writing to incite conflict. I hope I am wrong, and that you have made the sincere effort to at least educate yourself. Because to me, a baseball writer not at least considering these methods is analogous to a psychologist or biologist disregarding the newest discoveries in their field.
Next, it is extremely offensive and irresponsible to characterize all people that prefer the sabermetric school of thinking. "'Look out, he's at it again' the cry will go out, as if a carrier of the black plague were loose in the land. And a flood of e-mail messages will pour in to my inbox calling me vile names (they are only the best educated and articulate of responders) and telling me I don't know what I'm talking about." Again, I am quoting directly from your writing. Perhaps you'll read this email, perhaps you won't. Maybe you'll even recognize that I went out of my way to come across as respectful and intelligent rather than calling you names and insulting you, as you did to me. I understand that you could care less if you offend me, and that is your prerogative as someone in your shoes. But there are many, many intelligent, talented writers that think differently than you and you just disrespected all of them.
My only interest in writing this email is to preserve the relationship between writers like yourself and fans such as myself. You can think what you want, and I may question your rationale, but at the end of the day the only thing I ask is that you give these stats a chance. I'm not asking you to write about them or include them in forming your opinions. I'm asking you to set a good precedent for the next generation of journalists.
Logic — This Is How To Fail At It
At this point in the season, we all know that there's some conflicting thought over the Cy Young Award. To be honest, there's not a bad candidate — with Hernandez, Sabathia, Price, Lester, Liriano, and Lee all have excellent seasons. However, there are several wrong choices. And those wrong choices can be narrowed down to anyone not named Felix. But that is one of several opinions out there. The problem is not necessarily that people think CC or Price deserve the award, the problem is the reasoning.
"It would be one thing if Sabathia had 20 wins and a 5-plus ERA. By any standards, that's not a good ERA, and it would signal to you that that he's won games despite mediocre pitching. But that's not the case."
First, let me call your attention to the consecutive use of "that" in this passage. This is not a typo on my part, it is how the article reads. Noted? Okay, let's move one. Now to the point; essentially what Rob tells us here is that wins are the most important thing, but only if the pitcher has a good ERA. Read differently — it is useful to evaluate pitchers by their ERA. Yet the fact that Hernandez leads the league in ERA is meaningless. Convenient for him. Moving on:
"And let's not forget that Sabathia has pitched in games that matter. Hernandez hasn't pitching in a pressure-packed contest since maybe Opening Day."
Once again, I'd like to note the incorrect use of the word "pitching". That is how the article actually reads. Okay, we all saw that. Now we can assess the ridiculousness of this statement. Hernandez hasn't pitched in a game that matters since Opening Day. So his starts don't matter to him and his team? They don't want to win them? Felix isn't one of the most insane competitors in the game today? Has he ever seen Felix pitch? Maybe they don't mean as much in terms of the standings, but like his putrid offense, he has no control over that. He pitches to the best of his ability every night just like every other starter.
"And for all those geeks who believe Sabathia's success is based on run support by the mighty Yankees' lineup, they couldn't be more wrong. If that were the case, A.J. Burnett would have 20 wins, too. But he hasn't pitched well enough to win."
First of all, WHAT?! The sense this makes is so minimal it literally makes my brain hurt. For starters, he compares the league leader in ERA, strikeouts and innings pitched to a pitcher who has allowed six earned runs or more in a start nine times this year. Nine! By comparison, Hernandez has done this this article after Hernandez lost yesterday after giving up one run on two hits in an eight inning complete game versus Toronto. Take it away Aaron:
"Today marked the fifth time this season Hernandez has failed to get a 'win' while allowing zero or one run in seven-plus innings and the 14th time this season he's failed to get a 'win' while throwing a Quality Start. And he's still yet to get a 'win' when allowing more than two runs, because his teammates rarely score more than two runs. For comparison, CC Sabathia has seven wins while allowing more than two runs. In totally unrelated news, the Yankees' lineup leads the league in scoring."
So Rob, are you still going to contend that run support has nothing to do with it? Anybody looking to make this argument, can you come up with a counter-point? If you can I would thoroughly enjoy hearing it.
Why are pitchers getting hurt?
"The increase in the number of UCL reconstructions being done now can be attributed to many things: improved diagnostic techniques, heightened awareness, increased chance of positive outcome with current surgical techniques, but most importantly, the overuse of young throwing arms," said Dr. Cain. "In the past 10 years, year-round baseball leagues have proliferated. So the best young pitchers are throwing many more pitches and learning to throw more difficult pitches. It's great that the surgery is successful, but prevention of the injury should be the goal. Kids should be urged to rest and be careful about saving their arms, rather than leading to long-term problems at a young age."

2010 Pitching Staff
Going into to 2010, there are quite a few questions that need to be addressed in terms of the Yankee pitching staff. While they will still have a legit ace at the top of the rotation in CC Sabathia and the best closer ever in Mariano Rivera, there are holes to fill in between. There is the question of what roles Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain will fill, who will be the fourth and fifth starters, and once again, how they will get the ball to Rivera at the end of games.
Waiting for the Stove to Heat Up
Now that we've all had a few weeks to linger in the glory of World Championship number 27, I think all of our minds are starting to wander towards what offseason moves Cashman and company are going to make in preparation for the title defense of 2010. Let's take a look at some of the rumors we've heard already.
nbsp;so far this offseason, it's time for me to put on the GM hat. First, let's deal with the Yankee free agents: Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui, Andy Pettitte, Jerry Hairston Jr., Jose Molina, Eric Hinske and Xavier Nady. If I could bring both Damon and Matsui back on affordable 1+1 deals (1-year with team option for 2011), I would do it in a heartbeat. I think this group could win it all again next year and there's no reason not to have them both back if they can do it reasonably. Next, bringing back Pettitte is a no-brainer, a 1-year deal about $10 million sounds okay to me. If Hairston can be had for at least one more year at a reasonable price, I say he comes back as well. As for Hinske and Molina, in my mind they can both walk. Francisco Cervelli becomes the back-up catcher while Juan Miranda takes Hinske's place as the left-handed bat off the bench. Finally, we come to Nady. Personally, I'd like to see him back on a 1-year, incentive type deal. However, I don't see this happening, as he's too much of a risk at this point and I predict he'll end up somewhere in the NL.
2009 WORLD CHAMPS! The trophy is back where it belongs
We Yankee fans won't get much sympathy from the folks in Chicago or Cleveland, but it sure has been a long wait for the Yankee faithful. It has been nine long, sometimes painful, years since the Yankees last hoisted the trophy. Back then I was only ten years old, and I thought the Yankees won the World Series every year. I was incredibly spoiled as a young fan, as I unknowingly watched one of the most special teams in the history of baseball win four World Series in five years. My father always told me that someday I'll realize how special that group really was, and I'll realize how much I took it for granted as a young kid.
If they could do it over again…
The decision to start AJ Burnett on three days rest in Game 5 was scrutinized every which way. Some were fervently in favor of the move, citing Burnett's history on three days rest (4-0, 2.33 ERA in his career) as well as the alternative, starting Chad Gaudin, as justification. Others clamored for Gaudin simply because it was silly to waste Burnett against Lee (who gave up five earned last night…by the way) and because it was set up AJ and Andy on full rest for the final two games.
Pettitte as a Hall of Famer?
I was doing my usual browsing of baseball related articles and blogs this morning. Usually this consists of River Avenue Blues, Lo Hud, ESPN.com, MLB.com, and Pinstripe Alley. However, this morning, I was wondering how the blogfather, Peter Abraham, was doing over at the Boston Globe. (For those of you who don't know who Peter is, he is the original author of the Lo Hud Yankees Blog; he moved to the Boston Globe this fall). In the sports section of the Globe, I found an interesting article by Nick Cafardo on the Hall of Fame candidacy of one Andrew Eugene Pettitte.
Pettitte is perfect example of a "borderline" Hall of Famer. He has been remarkably consistent during his career. He spent most of his career in what many say is the toughest division in baseball, and was very successful. He has also been, for the most part, an incredible clutch performer on baseball's biggest stage. He has a Major League record 17 postseason wins and could add to that total if the Phillies push the series to a sixth game.
But on the other side of all of the overwhelming positives of his career are the negatives. He has only 229 career wins. He is an admitted HGH user. Also, his 3.91 career ERA is a bit higher than the typical inductee.
Cafardo does an excellent job in his article of clearly showing both sides of the argument. He goes on to quote various baseball writers and baseball people, who are split on the issue. Some say his remarkable consistency and postseason track record are enough. Others argue that he is not a dominant pitcher, and while he has been consistent, he does not belong in the conversations with baseball's elite.
I tend to agree that Pettitte's consistency (especially in the midst of baseball's steroid age) and success in the postseason are enough to reserve a spot in Cooperstown. However, I believe Buck Martinez (from Cafardo's article) sums up the issue appropriately: "Yes, he should get in, but not before Bert Blyleven and Jack Morris". I could not agree more with this. Dandy Andy, in my mind, has been more than good enough over the years, but if Blyleven can't get in, how do you justify allowing Pettitte in?
All of this said, Andy can make this much more of a sure thing by pitching two or three more successful years. Here's hoping he's ready to make one more great postseason start if the Yankees need him in Game 6.
MLB Umps
The umpires, as a whole, have been the brunt of a LOT of criticism this post season. From Joe Mauer's ball down the line, to the Youka being "off" the bag against the Angels, to the ball that hit Chase Utley in the box, the division series was pretty brutal from an officiating stand point. I've heard it all in terms of the solution to the problem; from robots to complete instant replay. But then, on Saturday night in the midst of an extra-inning classic, we saw something else.

Mayor Gray Announces Legislation Banning Coal Burning
Mayor Gray Announces Legislation Banning Coal Burning
(Washington, DC) – Mayor Vincent C. Gray today announced new legislation that would protect residents' health and safety by banning coal-burning power facilities in the District of Columbia. The move comes in conjunction with permits issued by the District Department of the Environment (DDOE) to the Architect of the Capitol to construct a new cogeneration facility that will allow the Capitol Power Plant (CPP) to stop using coal to produce power for facilities on Capitol Hill.
"In conjunction with the permits DDOE issued today, this legislation will help District residents breathe more easily for years to come," said Mayor Gray. "My Sustainable DC initiative aims to make the District the nation's greenest, healthiest, most sustainable city in the country in the next two decades – and eliminating coal emissions from the Capitol Power Plant is a key victory in achieving that goal."
The Ban on Combustion of Coal Act of 2013 would:
- Ban coal burning in the District, beginning 18 months after the commercial operation date of the Capitol Power Plant's (CPP) cogeneration project (except in instances of force majeure and for testing and tuning). The commercial operation date is the date upon which construction of the new cogeneration equipment has been completed, adequately tested, and authorized as able to deliver electricity to the distribution system.
- Strictly limit facilities to burning coal for no more than 72 hours per emissions unit, per year, and only for the purposes of tuning and testing. Testing and tuning are required by the federal Clean Air Act and District regulations.
This language mirrors the language in the soon-to-be issued permits for the CPP. The facility's ability to restrict coal usage (with the exception of the 16,666 ton limit above) is entirely dependent upon completion of the cogeneration project and achievement of the commercial operation date.

|It is becoming clear that modern middleware platforms must provide both deploy-time configuration and run-time reconfiguration to accommodate rapid changing requirements and also to be able to operate in dynamic environments. J2EE is a key example of a middleware architecture that supports enterprise applications via its Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) component model. EJB provides limited configurability in terms of a fixed set of non-functional middleware services at deployment-time (via a declarative deployment descriptor). However, EJB along with other related enterprise architectures generally do not provide enough support for re-configuration or evolution. At best, there is limited support in some platforms for replacing or updating particular services. This paper discusses the design of configurable and re-configurable middleware architecture and also the key role of separation of concerns for such platforms. The paper also describes the Arctic Beans component model which uses the Composition Filters model to capture such concerns and also support their safe composition.The paper also explains how this model can be used to construct an Arctic Beans container, in the style of EJB. The main contribution of the paper is to demonstrate that adaptable middleware platform can be developed using separation of concern technologies, specifically the composition filters model.
|There is widespread use of the Internet to promote anorexia as a lifestyle choice. Pro-anorexia content can be harmful for people affected or at risk of having anorexia. That movement is actively engaged in sharing photos on social networks such as Flickr. Objective: To study the characteristics of the online communities engaged in disseminating content that encourages eating disorders (known as "pro-anorexia") and to investigate if the posting of such content is discouraged by the posting of recovery-oriented content. The extraction of pro-anorexia and pro-recovery photographs from the photo sharing site Flickr pertaining to 242,710 photos from 491 users and analyzing four separate social networks therein. Pro-anorexia and pro-recovery communities interact to a much higher degree among themselves than what is expected from the distribution of contacts (only 59-72% of contacts but 74-83% of comments are made to members inside the community). Pro-recovery users employ similar words to those used by pro-anorexia users to describe their photographs, possibly in order to ensure that their content appears when pro-anorexia users search for images. Pro-anorexia users who are exposed to comments from the opposite camp are less likely to cease posting pro-anorexia photographs than those who do not receive such comments (46% versus 61%), and if they cease, they do so approximately three months later. Our observations show two highly active communities, where most interaction is within each community. However, the pro-recovery community takes steps to ensure that their content is visible to the pro-anorexia community, both by using textual descriptions of their photographs that are similar to those used by the pro-anorexia group and by commenting to pro-anorexia content. The latter activity is, however, counterproductive, as it entrenches pro-anorexia users in their stance. Our results highlight the nature of pro-anorexia and pro-recovery photo sharing and accentuate the need for clinicians to be aware of such content and its effect on their patients. Our findings suggest that some currently used interventions are not useful in helping pro-anorexia users recover. Thus, future work should focus on new intervention methods, possibly tailored to individual characteristics.
|This article describes an architecture that allows a replicated service to survive crashes without breaking its TCP connections. Our approach does not require modifications to the TCP protocol, to the operating system on the server, or to any of the software running on the clients. Furthermore, it runs on commodity hardware. We compare two implementations of this architecture – one based on primary/backup replication and another based on message logging – focusing on scalability, failover time, and application transparency. We evaluate three types of services: a file server, a web server, and a multimedia streaming server. Our experiments suggest that the approach incurs low overhead on throughput, scales well as the number of clients increases, and allows recovery of the service in near-optimal time.
|The main purpose of this paper is to illuminate two types of unwanted traffic in a publish/subscribe system -- malicious (spam, DoS attacks) and vain (unused events) -- and suggest a general mechanism for minimizing their effects. We do this by augmenting the classic publish/subscribe interface with volume-limiting parameters -- a combination of attributes assigned to events by publishers and thresholds specified by subscribers -- and consider the implications of this interface on the unwanted traffic and on the routing infrastructure. Notably, we observe that this mechanism can minimize unwanted traffic without total access control if the routing substrate supports two properties: flow control and routing integrity.
|Events injected by publishers into a publish/subscribe system may reach users through a variety of devices: a stationary desktop, a laptop, a mobile phone, etc. We argue that the "last hop" -- from the network to the output device -- has unique properties, owing to the mobile nature of these devices, and as such demands special consideration. In particular, user's preferences and location may limit what should be forwarded to a device. Furthermore, technological constraints, such as network bandwidth availability and battery power, suggest that the decision when to forward messages is also important for optimizing user's experience. We describe a new publish/subscribe system with volume-limiting mechanisms and explain how user preferences, context, and device constraints can be accommodated in such a system. Notably, based on results of simulations, we propose a simple algorithm for low-cost "prefetching" of notifications to mobile devices in cases when network bandwidth is insufficient.

Sacramento, CA's A Lot Like Birds is now premiering their third full-length album, No Place, on Diffuser.fm. The dynamic ten track album, which is out today on Equal Vision Records, takes listeners on an eerie roller coaster of beautiful chaos, with arching cinematic interludes laced between destructive gut-wrenching, chill-inducing masterpieces.
The complex construction of No Place sets one into a mesmerizing world of darkness and dread led by urgency, intensity and fear. Thematically the album revolves around a single concept, exploring the emotions behind rooms in a home.
This week, Rock Sound has deemed A Lot Like Birds their 'Band of The Week'. An intricate track-by-track feature written by the band can be found on RockSound.tv giving further insight into the writing and recording process for No Place.
The sextet also debuted their music video for "Next To Ungodliness" on Friday via Youtube, garnering over 12k views in just 24 hours. The intense video can be found HERE. The video was filmed in Sacramento, CA with director Michael Elinn.
Co-vocalist Cory Lockwood says of the writing process for the song, "The bathroom was a song idea that I had wanted to flesh out since the beginning but as each song was written, the bathroom never fully came together - until we got to Portland. While we were up there we decided to add it. Mikey spent a day in a house alone with direction from the rest of us (we wanted something aggressive, short and loud) and came back with this song. It worked perfectly. Bathrooms are where people do everything they would never want the rest of the world to see. And even though you would never want anybody else to see you there, it's one of the only rooms where you get a chance to look at yourself. It's so private and odd; it's where a person can either be vain or self-deprecating; fantasize about their incredible future or scrutinize themselves to the point that they want everything to end."
A Lot Like Birds features duel vocalists, Cory Lockwood and Kurt Travis, who seamlessly intertwine, layer and harmonize while interchanging singing, screaming and spoken word duties, guitarists Michael Franzino and Ben Wiacek, bassist Michael "Butter" Littlefield and drummer Joe Arrington.
The band will kick off their full US headline tour today, October 29, in Atlanta, GA with support from HRVRD, Night Verses and My Iron Lung and will wrap up the run on November 25 in their hometown of Sacramento, CA. All upcoming tour dates can be found below.
No Place is available now through digital retailers such as iTunes and AmazonMP3; And physically through FYE, MerchNOW, and at various regional chains and independent stores around the country including Newbury Comics, Bull Moose, Zia Records, and Dimple Records.

Today at a press event in San Francisco, travel startup Airbnb announced Airbnb Neighborhoods, a guide to help travelers decide which neighborhood best matches their interests and vacation style. Deemed "the definitive guide to experiencing neighborhoods" by Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, users can click on different tags relating to the cities to help better acquaint them with local neighborhoods; in London, for example, you can click on "museums" and it will pull up the neighborhoods and rentals closest to museums.
"[Travelers] are overwhelmed with choices and these choices are vastly different," said Mr. Chesky. "We've polled our users and they've told us that location is the most important criteria for them when booking. So we have a problem: location is the most important criteria for travelers. When they come to a city, they have thousands of choices in all different neighborhoods and they're overwhelmed."
Airbnb Neighborhoods is available for 300 neighborhoods across 7 cities. Each neighborhood page will have its own map–charted by an Airbnb cartographer–as well as searchable tags appended by locals that will help you better discover hidden gems. Neighborhoods also have a beautiful layout with photos of the neighborhood and the people who live there. The new feature is built on user research about what kind of things matter to people as they're deciding on a location, including shopping, dining, nightlife and transportation.
The company also announced Airbnb Local Lounge, designated spots that are vetted by Airbnb and can serve as a beacon for Airbnb travelers. Each location will have a free crowdsourced neighborhood guide, and serve as a "warm, inviting" place for travelers looking for a local connection.
These new features help establish Airbnb as a travel suggestion company, not just a place for rental bookings. Plus, having Local Lounges interspersed around a city that provide helpful guidance to users could help encourage those who haven't yet tried Airbnb to finally make the leap.
"Neighborhoods are the original communities. They are the keys to unlocking local culture and one-of-a-kind experiences," Mr. Chesky said in a release. "By going deeper and tapping into local knowledge, we are introducing our community to a neighborhood's personality so they can match it with their own."
Is this airbnb neighborhood policy such a great thing?
For London, many of the neighborhoods are strange choices eg Somerstown. Has some intern in San Francisco made these arbitrary choices?
In another perspective, the choices of rich areas like Kensington and Mayfair sound like trying to get people to go to expensive but bland districts where airbnb can make the most commission.
Is this just a cynical attempt to shepherd visitors away from the best kept secret good value spots into the more affluent and therefore more remunerative parts of the metropolis?
Never mind the networking, airbnb are following the money just like the hoteliers.
Check out airbnb's Facebook. Many hosts are very unhappy w/ the new feature and have seen their inquiries and bookings plummet since it's launch as have I. I live in Southwest DC which is a wonderful neighborhood which fits into many of the categories they allow users to search yet they don't even have Southwest listed. In fact, Southwest is the closest neighborhood to the National Mall AND most museums are located in the neighborhood so one would think they would definitely cover that area…. Essentially they are taking business away from me rather than promoting my property. I've contacted them on this but they just say they'll "eventually" list my neighborhood meanwhile I'm losing guests. Not cool.
This is surely the beginning of the end for airbnb as it opts for the safe wealthy neighborhoods dumping thousands of hosts who no longer even appear on the maps. All the diversity and interest of the Real places, the genuine traveler's destinations abandoned as airbnb chase high commissions in rich areas prior to their launch on the stock market.
All those ordinary people who made airbnb a success and welcomed people into their homes are now tossed aside in the search for the safe dollar. Watch now as airbnb goes from innovatory social networking meets accommodation to anonymous virtual hotel.
This need not be the end though for real travelers who still want to get away from the boring tourist destinations to seek out the secret beating heart of the cities they visit. All those hosts and guests setting up a massive transnational network of friends can now switch to the myriad of alternatives (Wimdu, BedyCasa, Roomarama, Geronimo and the rest) who will pick up where airbnb have dropped the ball and missed the opportunity.
Update: I just received word from airbnb that they listed my neighborhood! I truly hope other hosts who have had the same concerns have similar luck. Cheers!
This cynical selective neighborhood initiative will destroy the whole ethos of the airbnb community as they pursue the tourist dollar. Even for those hosts lucky enough to be among the chosen ones, they will find the guests treating their homes like hotels and themselves as servants. Gone will be all those interesting conversations between new found friends to be replaced by mindless demands and critical reviews. Do we really want our homes to be treated like hotels? Surely we have teenagers to do that already!
Airbnb was a chance to find like minds, people like us. Now having built the network, they are happy to throw it away in a return to the same old same old – to get a better price on the market.

MINNEAPOLIS -- - Yoenis Céspedes' top competition as he traveled through the new Home Run Derby format was, as it turned out, his A's teammate.
Céspedes downed Josh Donaldson in a "swing-off" after the first round, beating him 2-1 on Monday at Target Field. No one else came close to Céspedes the rest of the way as he defended his Home Run Derby title with ease, beating Todd Frazier of the Reds in the final with nine homers to Frazier's one.
"He got stronger every round," A's reliever Sean Doolittle said. "You could almost feel his experience from last year coming into play. When he won the swing-off, that was the momentum he needed, and that was pretty much it."
Céspedes is the second back-to-back winner of the event (other: Ken Griffey Jr., 1998-99). "I am very happy and proud to be the only other person," Céspedes said, with ESPN's Pedro Gomez interpreting. "I wish there was another word that would describe it even better than that to win it in consecutive years."
Céspedes, who hit 32 homers, total, in winning the 2013 Derby at Citi Field in New York, hit 30 homers Monday. He said that rain before and during the event affected all the participants, who got ready early only to have to wait through an hour delay.
With Derby favorite Giancarlo Stanton of the Marlins shockingly knocked out by shutout in the third round of the National League competition, Céspedes' path to the crown was significantly less dramatic.
Stanton had wowed the crowd with several third-deck homers in the first round for the NL, and he hit one into the seats over the batters' eye, too.
"Stanton was on another level," Doolittle said. "He lived up to expectations. He hit some tape-measure shots."
Then he got a bye into the NL's final round and had to wait to hit for more than an hour, and by then, he'd clearly cooled.
"The change in the format definitely affected some players," Céspedes said. "It was difficult for people like (Jose) Bautista and Stanton because they had to wait so long in between."
Céspedes didn't get to take a long break, though, after barely squeaking through the first round, so he stayed in a rhythm. He blazed through the second round, with nine homers to top Adam Jones. He hit seven in the third round to eliminate Bautista, the AL captain.
Asked about sharing the Derby experience with his teammate earlier in the day, Donaldson said, "Céspedes won the Home Run Derby last year. And I picked his brain about it. And I told him earlier he may be the defending champ, but I am the people's champ and I'm going to take it back."
Donaldson then had the perfect opportunity to surpass Céspedes: a head-to-head matchup in a "swing-off" after they finished tied in the first round, hitting three apiece.
"I knew Josh wasn't going to win because his mentality was to take the ball out of the stadium," Céspedes said. "I told him that is not the way you win this competition."
In the swing-off, however, Céspedes crushed two balls into the second deck in left. Donaldson managed only one into the second deck.
"I knew I had to hit three - and I might have tied him," said Donaldson, who'd love to be in the Derby again. "Once he gets in one of these events, he thrives. He's tough to beat when he gets rolling, but that was neat."

|Caveat: this is our first summer with a pool, so we're on the newbie side of things.
Before I get to my cover v dome question, have a 'dumb' question for the community:
Energy cost aside, is there a reason (or reasons) why we have to close a pool for the winter? I'd think that the equipment running and circulating the water would prevent any freezing. While we have a 400K BTU heater, I know it would be ridiculously expensive to run. We're in S-East PA and would love to swim year-round, if possible.
Leads to the question: had a Loop Loc dealer suggest an inflatable dome in lieu of a safety cover as a way of using our pool during the winter, etc.
Has anyone done this, or know anyone that has? Not sure what a Loop Loc cover will cost us, but the dealer gave a rough estimate for the dome of $8K.
Follow-Up Postings:
|If you want to use it year round, the dome will help lock in the heat, so you won't have to spend so much energy reheating each time. Also, it absorbs the sun's energy to help heat a bit as well. A regular cover just protects the surface of the pool so no one falls in, etc. It can protect a bit of the heat from escaping, but not as well as a dome would.
- Posted by sdemjsully (My Page) on Mon, Aug 26, 13 at 16:40
|Do you, or anyone you know of have a dome? I'm not sure what the Loop Loc cover will cost, but curious about the cost comparison.
Our pool is an irregular shape (see attached image), so I'm not sure how the dome would be anchored where we don't have concrete.
|I'm curious as to how you would attach the loop loc (if you went that route). We are in the design phase and were told we needed a 3' concrete peremeter around our pool in order to use one. We have a very sloped backyard (also in PA) and to out a 3' edge on the far side requires a very large and expensive retaining wall that we are trying to avoid. We are also in PA.
- Posted by sdemjsully (My Page) on Wed, Aug 28, 13 at 9:44
|We've been told by a couple of servicing companies (dealers) that they will install (at an angle) a series of long anchors in the ground, and cover the area around the waterfall with a material that covers the gap.
Attached a pic below (not our pool) that shows the way gaps are handled (according to this servicing company anyway).
Got one estimate, for a Loop Loc mesh cover measuring approx. 27.5' x 43' (total of 1204 sq ft). Estimate is $4,540.
Dome estimate (33' x 47') is $10,600.
Any opinion on the Loop Loc estimate? Not sure if this is high or fair.
|Interesting. Maybe I need to talk to actual loop loc dealers instead of the pool company. That's seems about right on price. It's a custom shape. I think our quote was $3700 for an 18x32 freeform. My neighbor was in the $4k range for her custom pool.
|Here's an idea of what we plan to do. It's an above ground pool going in the ground as much as possible (retaining wall to do a true inground broke the bank). This particular pool (Radiant metric freeform) is 18x32 with a concrete patio on flat side and them the exposed pool wall will be covered by a purely decorative (no footers) landscape block wall. We don't want to have to use the standard cover that goes with this particular pool but no one can give us anywhere options at this point.
- Posted by sdemjsully (My Page) on Sat, Aug 31, 13 at 0:08
|The Loop Loc dealers we've spoken with have said that they need some concrete to install the cover, since the anchors are drilled into the concrete. For our grass area, they will use long tubes into which the anchors will be placed.
Not sure how they do it with above/partially in-ground pools.
|I don't know of anyone with pool covers as I live in Southern California. I hope the dealer is able to help you.
- Posted by Ingardenguy57 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 17, 13 at 13:43
|Bce2still, See you have a Radiant Pool, We are thinking of going with a Radiant pool here. Could you tell me if you installed it yourself, or had a contractor do the install? How long have you had it, etc.
We are thinking of going with a 16 x 24 semi in ground. Any input would be great. Thanks
- Posted by julieswimtown (My Page) on Fri, Sep 20, 13 at 16:11
Not sure if you've made a decision or not but....
You can see by the instructions I attached for Arctic Armor covers the lawn tube anchors are used for pavers, lawns etc. where concrete is not available or covered by decorative pavers (which standard anchors cannot be used). The cable/padding system is standard procedure for raised walls, such as a waterfall feature. The loop loc estimate seems high - unless you are not installing this yourself?
Here is a link that might be useful: Arctic Armor Safety Cover Installation Instructions

Technological developments in testing are providing the modern cosmetics company with better data with which to substantiate the claims it makes about its products, and also helping to reduce costs and the speed up testing. This increases both the product's value in the marketplace and will help give rise to the next generation of products.
The ever-changing world of Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing has seen some interesting developments over the last week, particularly in the US. Whatever goes on between the players in this space, the technological advances are exciting and have the potential to offer real benefits for patients.
Sagentia's Business Intelligence Analyst, Sarah Hinton, considers the impact of free sources for news and whether paying for premium news aggregators can be justified when there are free news and sector-specific sources available.
We've created the following infographic to outline how Medical Mobile Apps are poised to revolutionize healthcare. For many medical device companies, moving a device closer to the patient presents some new challenges that can be addressed through the adoption of new technologies or development practices.
An article in EMDT (European Medical Device Technology) suggests that 'traditional medtech companies are increasingly turning to more integrated business models that focus on delivering services and solutions across the continuum of care.' This is a great summary of an emerging trend we are seeing across the industry.
We summarise the main recommendations from the recent FDASIA Health IT Report and comment on the key implications for medical IT developments.
We are on the cusp of a robotics revolution but if robots are to augment our existence, then there is a fundamental level of information that we need to exchange in order to allow us to interpret their actions and respond appropriately.
With a new era of intelligent surgical devices tissue sensing and imaging could soon be a reality and yield real cost savings for healthcare. We examine some of the new technologies in this area.
We're looking forward to attending this year's mHealth summit in Washington, an important event in the field of connected health - networking and learning about the latest innovations, research and trends in the mHealth space.
Sagentia consultants will be attending this Cambridge Network SIG discussing the opportunities in the ag-tech market for sensoring and monitoring technologies.
Sagentia announces that it is working with Chrono Therapeutics on the development of SmartStop™, the world's first programmable and wearable nicotine delivery device to help people quit smoking.
Sagentia is speaking today on human augmentation in robotics at RoboBusiness 2014 in Boston. Dr Nick Collier, Sagentia's Chief Technology Officer, will be presenting to leaders from across the global robotics industry on the opportunity for robotics to augment humans and enable them to do more, better and different.
Published in partnership with MIT Technology Review Sagentia looks at how the demand for remote patient monitoring is creating an exciting opportunity for the emerging area of connected health, and how MMAs may offer particularly apt solutions to the challenges of monitoring patients remotely.
GenomeWeb interviews Sagentia's SVP Medical, Paul Wilkins, and Premaitha's CEO Stephen Little on the recent announcement that Premaitha has selected Sagentia to develop a custom bioinformatics solution for Premaitha's NGS-based NIPT product.

Home-Care Services
Posted By alz03 On August 3, 2010 @ 2:18 am In Treatment Care | No Comments
Home-care services are generally divided into one of the following types of care: Skilled care and Non-skilled care (often referred to as companion or home-maker services).
Skilled care must be performed by licensed professionals, such as nurses, therapists or social workers. Registered nurses provide services such as the initial consultation, monitoring of medications, wound care, infusion therapy and catheter care, in addition to wellness education for diabetes and other diseases. Licensed therapists and social workers perform physical, speech, respiratory, occupational and social therapies.
Non-skilled care is for those who need help with custodial tasks such as bathing, toileting and dressing. In this scenario, a home health aide, personal care aide or "companion" would be assigned, usually under the guidance of the nurse or physical therapist.
NOTE: There are some agencies that specialize in Alzheimer's care or can provide nurses and aides who are specially trained to deal with the challenges of caring for someone with the disease. When contacting these organizations, ask if they provide this expertise.
How do I pay for it?
For more information on paying for long term care go to Legal and Financial Planning [1].

When it comes to garage doors, there hasn't really been a whole lot of innovation in the past 40 years. The best garage door is the one that opens, closes, and doesn't give you any guff in between. Sound Door Service?a Seattle-based, locally owned and operated company?understands this, and that's why a good number of their doors come with life-time warranties. But that's just the beginning. They stock a massive selection of doors that range from classic steel doors that get the job done to Heritage Classic carriage style doors, hand-crafted by retired race horses.
Of course, sometimes things go wrong, so Sound Door Service keeps a team of techs on hand. They can fix up damaged sections, install an entirely new unit, or swap out rusty springs for new ones. Techs can also correct door torsion and repair extension springs, and lend assistance and expertise to owners shopping for a new door.
Pande Cameron traces its origins back to 1924, when Colonel Guner Pande and his business partner, Ernest Cameron, began importing and selling fine oriental rugs with the help of their enterprising young assistant, Mihran Paul Andonian. Twenty-five years later, Mihran inherited the business, eventually passing it to the father-and-son team of Charles and Brad Andonian, who mind the shop to this very day. The flooring experts display a dazzling display of carpets in their South Lake Union and Bellevue storefronts, and also perform restoration of precious underfoot adornments, from purifying sullied wool and silk area rugs to dispatching ferocious reanimated bearskin rugs. Antique rugs cloak floorboards in dark-wine reds and ornamental paisley teardrops, and contemporary carpeting covers tile and hardwood with striking seas of color and creative designs. In addition to keeping toes basking in the soft fibers of new, restored, or rental carpets, Pande Cameron maintains a vital connection to its community through charitable partnerships with organizations such as Seattle Children's Hospital and the South Lake Union Park.
A lot of carpet-cleaning businesses offer some sort of guarantee, but Complete Carpet Care offers no fewer than five. Beyond the basic 100% guarantee for service, the company stands behind its eight-step organic carpet-cleaning process and vows to refund the customer's money if it fails to live up to the hype. When it comes to spots, any marks or traffic lanes removed by the techs are guaranteed to stay gone, and those who opt to add Complete Carpet Care's Teflon protector can rest assured that the protector is guaranteed to repel new permanent stains for a year. And, once carpets have been thoroughly degunked, they're protected from accidental spills for seven days postcleaning––within a week of service, the techs will return to retouch their work free of charge and with no questions asked, no matter how many red-wine-soaked piñatas happen to be lying around.
In a truck-mounted steam cleaning system, Complete Carpet Care uses all organic solutions, made from ingredients such as lime and grapefruit seed extract, natural enzymes, and cider vinegar, in contrast to traditional cleaners, which use harsh chemicals such as silicones, linear alcohol, and borine. The crew uses a similar technique when cleaning upholstery and area rugs, ensuring all surfaces are cleaned without leaving behind harmful residue.
Continental Carpet Care's technicians go beyond the call of cleanliness in order to meet their commitment to customers' health. For every residential and commercial carpet services, the cleaners use biodegradable, nontoxic products to safely eradicate bacteria, eliminate allergens, and remove pet odors and stains. Technicians inspect carpets before each service and create a customized cleaning plan based on manufacturer's recommendations and messages from a highly experienced magic eight ball. In addition to scrubbing carpets, Continental Carpet Care cleans upholstery, mattresses, and tile and natural stone, and offers emergency water restoration to treat flood damage.
Vickie Town sees nothing but potential when she looks at a home. New furniture. Updated flooring. An entirely new, coordinated color scheme. She works with clients' vision to come up with compelling design schemes, creating kitchens that are reminiscent of Italian villas, backyard swimming areas that transport homeowners to the Mediterranean, or holodecks that just look like normal decks.
From the south end of Lake Union, kayakers and paddle boarders can head north toward Gas Works Park to see the century-old former Seattle Gas Light Company plant. From there, they can head east and wind through Portage Bay on the way through Montlake, then cut over to the Washington Park Arboretum and Lake Washington. If they turn west instead, they can cut through a canyon of city buildings until reaching Ballard Locks and Puget Sound, where they may arrive in time to see the sun hang just above the Olympic Mountains.
Moss Bay Rowing, Kayaking, Sailing and Paddle Board Center's team facilitates adventures like these by renting man-powered water vessels by the hour, day, or week. Rentals afford paddlers and sailors the chance to explore Seattle's sheltered waterways, which are held to a 7-knot speed limit. Moss Bay's staff also leads small-group and private lessons in rowing, kayaking, and sailing, and coordinates guided tours including excursions designed for kids and adults.
