Aretha's Franklin's song "R-e-s-p-e-c-t" is awesome. Every time I hear this song, and I am home alone, I start doing my Aretha impersonation. I start moving my head from left to right and then, with a hand on my hip and the other hand in free motion, I start pointing a finger at an invisible "guest" in a nearby chair. I really get into it. I start singing "Hey baby (just a little bit), when you get home (just a little bit) mister (just a little bit)…"
Yeah, that's my way of doing serious soul singing. Further on in the song, Aretha sings "Find out what it means to me." I think that's a very good starting point. One has to really know "respect" for oneself before it can be extended to others and received from others.
Respect cannot be demanded, it has to be practiced and earned. At one time, there were some really wonderful customs by which people visibly showed esteem and consideration for one another. It appeared in language and behavior. These forms of expressions are slowly disappearing from our culture as it becomes more and more uniform.
The German language infuses the word "you" with more detailed meaning than the English language does. People I know intimately, like family and friends, I refer to in the informal "Du." The formal address of "Sie" (French equivalent of "Vous") in German refers to anybody outside my intimate circle. If people know each other for a while, they would most likely offer "Du" to each other. This is referred to in our language as "duzen." People sometimes make a really big deal about it, and celebrate this turn of event with beer and bratwurst (in my case, make that a Beck's Bier).
During the time my mother and father grew up, there was another version of "you" in use. In German it is "Ihr" (in English "Thou"). My mother addressed older people, including her grandparents, by the word "Ihr." My paternal grandmother told me that she had to address her own parents with the word "Ihr" rather than "Du." It would have been seen as very dishonorable and disrespectful to address them any other way.
I was really stunned when I learned this from my grandmother. People at the turn of the century were very concerned with such social mores. I think there was good reason for it. It shows an outward respect for elders as being those who have greater experience and wisdom. There was an audible distinction made between youth and maturity. The simple word of "you" clearly defines boundaries in the German language that cannot be overstepped. Although there is already a slight trend in the German culture to disregard these boundaries, they are still very much adhered to by most people, young and old.
When I lived in Germany, it was unthinkable for me to call my boss by his first name. The proper address was the use of "Herr" or "Frau" as the prefix for their last name. I still call my neighbors back home by "Frau Bauer" or "Herr Schmidt" and address them as "Sie." The word "Herr" is a word that also means "Lord." The title can extend to a landowner or nobleman in older times. In its highest form it is used in reference to Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The word "Frau" simply means "woman."
The English title of "Mister" stems from the word "Master" which in German stands for "Meister." A "Meister" is a craftsman who has learned a specific trade. He earned this title through hard work and studies. Every apprentice in Germany will still address his boss as "Meister." It doesn't matter if he is a baker, a butcher, or a carpenter. His title is a sign of esteem and honor for his specialty in his trade. His knowledge is gained through practicing the trade for years. Next time you are in Germany and you see a group of workers, chimney sweepers, or masons, ask them where their "Meister" is, and they know who you are talking about.
I used to watch a lot of old German movies. The way people spoke to each other was really an art form. Nowhere nowadays does anybody address a woman in Germany as "Gndige Frau" (Gracious Lady), unless it is a very formal occasion. Only in Vienna did I notice this old form of the German language still being used.
Once I received an e-mail from India, and the gentleman addressed the letter as "Dear Madame." I must admit, I was quite moved. All the changes that feminism has insisted upon here have sort of gone over my head. The German language eliminated the word "Frulein" (formal address for an unmarried woman), because it was seen as derogatory. I think "Gndiges Frulein" could sort of revive it again. It does sound nice.
Wouldn't it be wonderful for a woman to be called "My Lady" (English version) and have her hand kissed out of respect and chivalry? Of course, a woman has to first know to respect herself enough to desire that kind of treatment, and not push it away when it is offered. If one doesn't respect oneself, it cannot be returned.
Once in a while I encounter an older Southern gentleman who has the courage to actually do this. It happened recently at the secret hangout where I go on Friday nights. The gentleman I encountered is a retired marshal who sports a big white mustache, cowboy hat, and a very stylish Western suit. He is probably seventy-five years old. He actually got up from his chair one night, bowed, and kissed my hand good bye. I was in Heaven. Yes, occasionally I still run across a true gentleman. I swooned for days.
When my brother and I were growing up in the 60s, on Sundays my mother dressed us in our best clothes. When my parents introduced us to guests or friends, my brother bowed and I curtsied. If the town welcomed an official from another town, the girls brought flowers and curtsied. Sometimes poems were read or songs were sung. It was not anything extravagant, but it made the occasion special. I liked it, because it put a festive mood in the air. A little class and style can show that we respected the difference.
Germans are known for shaking hands, which somehow got lost in the English tradition. When I think of American's saying "Hi," I also see a hand waving at me. It is often awkward not knowing if I need to shake someone's hand now or not. In my culture I was taught to shake hands with anybody I meet. Here I am never sure, because it happened quite often where my hand was stretched out, and someone else just sort of stared back at me with a blank look. I know it is cultural differences, and it takes some adjusting to understand the gestures of other countries.
My parents taught us that a proper greeting is to say "Gr Gott" (Bavarian greeting meaning "Greet God") or "Guten Tag" (greeting in all other German states) and shake hands. When I do shake hands with another person, I still consider it a great honor. Touching someone's hands is a very nice gesture. It goes back to many traditions in the old world that showed honor and respect for each other after making a deal or signing a contract.
The custom of shaking hands as a greeting can be a sign of accepting each other's presence. How many people feel left out, because nobody acknowledges them properly? Yes, such an acknowledgement is definitely a respectful sign that one exists, even in a crowd.
I also like the Asian way of greeting by bowing. There is something very moving and touching about this respectful gesture. It is very humble and yet very endearing to see a greeting exchanged between two people of these cultures.
My religious background is Roman Catholic. Most Protestants know about our custom of kneeling and rising and kneeling again. I curtsy before entering my pew (the correct term is "genuflect") in honor of God's Presence in the Blessed Sacrament reserved in the Sanctuary. I really never thought it to be strange. It is part of my culture to honor visiting officials with a bow or curtsy. I was born and raised in a former kingdom, and know about traditions and customs practiced for centuries. People bowed when the king came through the country and waved. Besides its religious significance, practicing this custom as a part of my faith is a way of learning to serve a King.
Kneeling in front of someone bigger than myself, especially when that Person is not visible to the outer senses, is a way of recognizing my own smallness and acknowledging the great strength that comes from being in the presence of someone greater. I am glad that I can kneel still, even if it hurts my knees at times and can get very uncomfortable. Who says that life is supposed to always be comfortable? There are growing pains in every aspect of life. One has to go through pain or discomfort to get to the other side. Yet this gesture is slowly disappearing and its true meaning dwindling into a fog.
The only tradition in our modern culture that still reflects such humility and respect may be when a man proposes marriage to a woman. This man is a true gentleman. Even if the proposal was not made on literal bended knee, there must come an inward kneeling to surrender in commitment. Both women and men must submit to that desire for a lifetime bond. Practicing the outward respect of kneeling helps recognize the inward drive to surrender.
Aretha's song is R&B. It's sung from her soul. She wants so much to receive acknowledgement and time from her lover. Her soul is surely telling her that she has to find that sense of respect with the help of someone bigger than herself. Without knowing that respect for oneself and others she can never experience it. She is giving her own answer in almost every verse. It will turn tragic if the words are directed to the world. "Give it to me….just a little bit….respect, just a little bit…" The world will most likely "sock it to her" because the world doesn't really care one way or another, unless one starts caring about one's own well being first.
One can even apply this rule of thought to a free society. As long as people do not respect the foundation that permits them to be free, they will lose it. Respect comes from within and is passed on through example. A society that is not disciplined by this simple rule will attract hardship just like a person. There is nobody to blame but the one who neglects this rule.
Language and customs are valuable tools in returning us to the understanding of what respect really means. As long as we keep looking to the world to validate us through behaviors and words that don't reflect our true desire to respect love, individuals will forever fall into a slumber of no return. Respects starts with oneself. There is a sacred part inside every human being to be discovered. If one cannot find it and respect it within his own heart, how can another person be expected to return it? A person disregarding this fundamental necessity, attracts nothing but misery and chaos into their lives. The world cannot fill what the heart desires.
A soul song, like Aretha Franklin's is a good place to start waking up if one is in the Sleeping Beauty slumber. It takes a little bit of guts and zest to earn that respect from oneself before it carries on to others. Think of it as nurturing a seed that needs constant care so it can grow. Eventually one owns the plant.
When respect is practiced long enough (like my dancing), one earns a Master Degree and it becomes like second nature. Life can run a little smoother that way, a bit more fun and definitely more graceful. The world is powerless against it. It falters in the presence of a soul singer.

One of
the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen
these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our
founding fathers used in the great struggle for independence.
A. Beard
Many people
say if you do not like your country then you should leave. If, after
many years of living here with family, friends, and other ties,
I may find my country to be something other than one I can wave
a flag for, do I still have to leave? Why is the State my master?
If I move to another country that I like better, I will still be
a slave to that State. This is like one slave wanting to leave his
master and serve another more generous master. The slave is still
a slave.
If I was completely
free, I could declare my independence and form my own State, like
the Catholic Church has its own State, Vatican City, which is only
108.7 land-locked acres. Its citizens, around 1000, have dual citizenship
with Italy, much like some citizens of Israel and Canada have dual
citizenship with the U. S. They trade and interact with other countries
and citizens voluntarily. I would certainly offer dual citizenship
to many people if I had my own country.
Each country
could decide their form of government: monarchy, republic, democracy,
etc. If a citizen who joined a country became disillusioned with
the government, he could always declare his independence, and leave
and join another country.
Monaco is a
small country in southwestern Europe. It has a strong relationship
with France. Monaco lies on the Mediterranean Sea at the foot of
the Maritime Alps, forming an enclave in southeastern France. After
Vatican City, Monaco is the smallest nation in the world, with a
land area of just 1.95 sq km (0.75 sq mi). Monaco's estimated population
in 2005 was 32,409. Monaco's population density, at 16,205 persons
per sq km (41,969 per sq mi), is higher than any other nation. There
are no income taxes in Monaco or Vatican City on their citizens.
If you are a citizen of a small State, you may be better off than
as a citizen of a large State. The large States can evoke envy,
which make them a target of others. A small State is almost anonymous.
Why did Thomas
Jefferson use the pronoun "we" in the Declaration of Independence?
He could have used the pronoun "I" to declare his independence from
the King of England and live happily in his country called Monticello.
The reason Jefferson used "We" is because he needed help from his
friends because King George would not allow people to be free. Jefferson
and his friends had to use force to be free. This holds true today.
No one is free unless he can declare his independence from the country,
state, county, and city governments that control his life.
If everyone
is free, each person would be able to declare his independence and
form alliances, or dissolve alliances, and trade with other independents,
all voluntarily, for mutual benefits and protection. Jefferson's
declaration that people have the right to declare their independence
from their masters would have applied to his slaves. Some who declared
their independence would voluntarily decide to stay in Monticello
because it was in their best interest and some would form alliances
with others.
A person in
America in the year 2006 is not free to buy a few acres of land
and declare his independence. A homeowners' association or town
is not free to declare its independence. Too many people who are
dependent on the produce of others, will use force to prevent a
producer from freeing himself from the non-producers. Can you imagine
the hue and cry from the rest of the country if a large state declared
independence? Could California declare its independence with all
its "national" parks and military bases? Would the rest of the country
give up two great harbors, San Diego and San Francisco?
who join together voluntarily to form a state should also have the
right to voluntarily declare their independence from that State.
Compelling one to join a group is immoral. The state will be healthy
if members can voluntarily join or leave. Does one wave the flag
for the freedoms we have? How can one say we are free when there
are thousands of rules and regulations telling us what we must do
and what we cannot do? How can we be free and have the highest prison
incarceration rate of any country in the world? The constitution
does not guarantee liberty. The right to be independent does.
The Magna Carta
was written in 1215. After it, many philosophers wrote about individual
liberty and natural rights. It took more than 500 years, until 1776,
for a group to advance the Magna Carta so that groups were independent
and free from Kings, Popes, and Caliphs. During the interval from
the Magna Carta to the Declaration of Independence, the printing
press was invented. Since the Declaration of Independence, the internet
has arrived. Individuals must not wait another 500 years to declare
themselves free and independent to choose whom they will form alliances

How to Use a Vernier Caliper
A vernier caliper is used to take measurements that are accurate to within .001 of an inch or .02 of a millimeter, depending whether the vernier is imperial or metric. This set of instructions will focus on imperial, but the same methods can be applied to a metric vernier caliper.
1Make sure that whatever you are measuring is clean and has no burrs on the edges.Ad
2Open the jaws of the caliper and position them on both sides of the piece you are measuring.
3Push the jaws firmly against the workpiece.
4Lock the clamp screw so that the jaws don't move.
5On the vernier scale is a small number 0. Look at how many inch divisions it is past on the bar scale.
6See how many smaller (numbered) divisions the small 0 has gone past. This represents how many tenths of an inch the workpiece is measuring in addition to the number of whole inches.
7How many smaller divisions has the small 0 gone past the last numbered division, this number multiplied by 25 is how many hundredths of an inch.
8Determine which division line on the vernier scale best lines up with a division on the bar scale. This is how many thousandths of an inch.
9By adding the inch measurement, the tenths of an inch, the hundredths, and the thousandths, you will have a measurement to a 3 decimal place accuracy.Ad

You may be familiar with Richard Sharpe from his many books or from the television series. But Cornwell is a prolific writer, he has written on the American Civil War, the Arthurian period, the Druids and even Regency romantic adventure. Now he tackles the Vikings and Alfred the Great. Through a fictional observer, Uhtred, we manage to follow all the major events during a twenty year period. Ingeniously, as the lad is tossed from one side to the other, the contrast of the lifestyles and conflicting beliefs of the two sides are beautifully drawn. A very fine book indeed. Highly recommended.Comparisons: Conn Iggulden, Wilbur Smith, Valerio Massimo Manfredi.Similar this month: Harry Bingham, Simon Scarrow.
Uhtred is an English boy, born into the aristocracy of ninth-century Northumbria. Orphaned at ten, he is captured and adopted by a Dane and taught the Viking ways. Yet Uhtred's fate is indissolubly bound up with Alfred, King of Wessex, who rules over the only English kingdom to survive the Danish assault.
The struggle between the English and the Danes and the strife between christianity and paganism is the background to Uhtred's growing up. He is left uncertain of his loyalties but a slaughter in a winter dawn propels him to the English side and he will become a man just as the Danes launch their fiercest attack yet on Alfred's kingdom. Marriage ties him further still to the West Saxon cause but when his wife and child vanish in the chaos of the Danish invasion, Uhtred is driven to face the greatest of the Viking chieftains in a battle beside the sea. There, in the horror of the shield-wall, he discovers his true allegiance.
The Last Kingdom, like most of Bernard Cornwell's books, is firmly based on true history. It is the first novel of a series that will tell the tale of Alfred the Great and his descendants and of the enemies they faced, Viking warriors like Ivar the Boneless and his feared brother, Ubba. Against their lives Bernard Cornwell has woven a story of divided loyalties, reluctant love and desperate heroism. In Uhtred, he has created one of his most interesting and heroic characters and in The Last Kingdom one of his most powerful and passionate novels.
'This has all the bloodiness, bretrayal, bravery and honour that we've come to expect from Cornwell.' Sunday Express
'It is stirring stuff, and few writers are better qualified than Cornwell to do justice to the excitement of the times…Ninth-century Britain and a master of straightforward storytelling - it is a marriage made in heaven.' Sunday Telegraph
Born in Essex in 1944 Bernard Cornwell was adopted at the age of six weeks by two members of a strict fundamentalist sect called the Peculiar People. He grew up in a household that forbade alcohol, cigarettes, dances, television, conventional medicine and toy guns. Not surprisingly, he developed a fascination for military adventure. As a teenager he devoured CS Forester's Hornblower novels and tried to enlist three times. Poor eyesight put paid to his dream, instead he went to university to read theology. On graduating, he became a teacher, then joined BBC's Nationwide, working his way up the ladder to become head of current affairs at BBC Northern Ireland, then editor of Thames News. In 1979, his life changed when he fell in love with an American.
"Judy couldn't live here, so I gave up my job and moved to the US. I couldn't get a green card, and for 18 months the only thing I could do was write novels." The result was his first book about 19th century hero, Richard Sharpe, Sharpe's Eagle.
In addition to the hugely successful Sharpe novels, Bernard Cornwell is the author of theStarbuck Chronicles, the Warlord trilogy, the Grail Quest series, the Alfred series and standalone battle books Azincourt and The Fort.
Bernard Cornwell owns houses in Cape Cod and Florida and two boats. Every year he takes two months off from his writing and spends most of his time on his 24 foot Cornish crabber, Royalist.

text: Okuni of Izumo, the founder of kabuki theatrical art, is believed to have been a miko at Izumo Grand Shrine. A miko is a shrine maiden who plays an assisting role to a shinto priest, but in ancient times, she was more like a shaman or prophet. When I visited the shrine, the mist veiled the mountains in the background. Suddenly I felt the time moving very slowly and my mind was drifted away to the ancient times. On June 30, the last day of waterless month, oharae (a purification ritual) will be performed at this shrine. This is an age-old Shinto custom to purge oneself of everyday sins. It is also to pray for good health throughout long hot summer months. Izumo, Japan III Click here for a larger image of "Izumo, Japan III" painting.

Here we are again, right before a big beach event weekend and the news comes out that bacteria levels are elevated on some Galveston beaches.
The bacteria warning is pretty standard. Some island beaches that were tested on Wednesday had higher than normal levels of bacteria. As normal, the Galveston County Health District says the elevated levels were not unusual and probably due to rain that hit the island earlier this week.

Joseph Two Hearts, Dale Jerome Bear and Anthony Aaron Mazawasicuna Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Great Falls, on August 29, 2011, before U.S. District Judge Sam E. Haddon, JOSEPH TWO HEARTS, age 20, DALE JEROME BEAR, age 26, and ANTHONY AARON MAZAWASICUNA, age 20, residents of Poplar, appeared for sentencing. They were each sentenced to a term of:
Prison: 4 months
Special Assessment: $100
Restitution: $2,583.50
Community Service: 100 hours
Supervised Release: 3 years
They were sentenced in connection with their guilty pleas to theft from an Indian tribal organization.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica A. Betley, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
During the early morning hours of April 15, 2010, TWO HEARTS, BEAR and MAZAWASICUNA were drinking alcohol and driving around Poplar. All three ended up at the basketball courts near the Fort Peck Community College Bookstore. TWO HEARTS climbed over the fence into the yard by the bookstore. BEAR and MAZAWASICUNA parked the car a few blocks away and walked to the bookstore.
TWO HEARTS broke into the bookstore after he climbed over the fence. He brought out merchandise which included blankets, sweatshirts, leather beaded items, knives and the cash register. He handed all of these items over the fence to BEAR and MAZAWASICUNA. TWO HEARTS then climbed back over the fence and helped load the merchandise into the car. All three males went home after approximately $6,800 in merchandise had been stolen from the Fort Peck Community College Bookstore.
An employee of the bookstore reported seeing BEAR wearing a sweatshirt that had been stolen from the store. BEAR was interviewed and stated that TWO HEARTS was already over the fence when he arrived in the bookstore area. The plan was to take as much merchandise from the bookstore as they could and then re-sell the items. BEAR took a sweatshirt, watch, and beaded items home with him. These items were recovered from BEAR and identified as stolen from the bookstore.
MAZAWASICUNA was also interviewed and the stolen merchandise was recovered from his car. He explained his car had not been working the night they stole the merchandise so he had been driving his grandmother's car instead and when he got home, he moved the stolen merchandise from his grandmother's car into his own car.
MAZAWASICUNA admitted to his participation in the theft. He stated that after it was over, he and the other two took the stolen cash register to a remote area and broke it open. However, they only found coins inside the register. They subsequently threw the cash register into the Poplar River.
When interviewed, TWO HEARTS admitted he had taken a knife and sheath which were recovered by law enforcement at his house.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that they will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, they do have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was conducted by the Fort Peck Tribes Criminal Investigation Division.

-- Hunters can purchase their fall turkey permits now through the end of the year, according to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. The fall season is Sept. 15 through Dec. 31.
A fall turkey permit allows a hunter to shoot a gobbler with either a shotgun or archery equipment, including a crossbow. The bag limit is two turkeys of either sex, and each hunter may have up to two permits. A permit is valid statewide and allows the take of turkeys from 30 minutes before sunrise to sunset.
Turkey permits costs $24 for residents, $91 for nonresidents and $6 for resident or nonresident youth age 15 and younger. There is no minimum age requirement for youth.
Those hunting turkeys during the November firearm deer season must wear at least 400 square inches of hunter orange on their head, chest and back.

Eh. It was like drinking cantaloupe instead of eating it. I'll return to this when i can't chew my food anymore. It definitely needed more acid (lime juice?). Maybe my cantaloupe was too ripe...is that possible?
Hubby doesn't like cantaloupe, and he called this "Fantastic!" Thanks ShowyChef2, light rum is terrific in this.
Awesome drink recipe! I added rum! momskitchenrecipes.com has tons of drink recipes to choose from, try it out :)
I crushed my ice beforehand, but the color didn't come out so orange, more like a sorbet. The vodka tip was good. And in the end I added more orange juice for a better flavor.
I used 2-3x as much orange juice and was surprised at the bright, fresh flavor. I also tried adding egg white protein powder and soy protein and it was still great.

Allinson Easy Bake Yeast is a combination of dried yeast with the bread improver Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C). Ascorbic Acid guarantees the fast action of the yeast, allowing a quick rise and eliminating the need to 'knock back' the dough. The dough will only require one kneading and one period of proving. The yeast can be added with the flour straight from the pack and will become activated as soon as it comes into contact with the liquid. Allinson Easy Bake Yeast is perfect for use in bread makers as well as in hand baking.
Yeast is an essential ingredient in bread making as it causes the bread to rise. It is a living organism and requires food, moisture and warmth to survive. When dehydrated, it will remain dormant until it becomes activated during the process of fermentation. Yeast causes the carbohydrates (initially sugars) present to ferment and produce carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2 becomes trapped in the dough by the network of gluten strands, causing the dough to rise.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 6 nights
This spacious, 3-story, architect-designed and stylishly-furnished house is my private home when I'm not traveling. It sits high on the north slope of Potrero Hill, one of San Francisco's most appealing neighborhoods and a restaurant mecca. Just minutes from downtown San Francisco, it is the perfect short-term residence for vacationers or traveling professionals and executives.
My Potrero Hill House offers sweeping views of downtown San Francisco and the San Francisco Bay from the living room, kitchen, both bedrooms, and from the balconies off the living room & master bedroom (I was standing on the master bedroom balcony when I took the photo of the view of downtown). The large, open living room has a soaring cathedral ceiling with sunlight streaming through the two double French doors, and a huge skylight. The living room features a Steinway grand piano, a dramatic marble fireplace, an award-winning staircase, antique Japanese furniture, original art and sculpture, a high-end stereo sound system, a 46-inch HDTV, and BluRay DVD player.
The master bedroom suite, a private sanctuary that occupies the entire third floor, has a 'wall of windows' framing a magnificent view of downtown San Francisco and the Bay Bridge (see photo), a sitting area with its own fireplace, a 54-inch HDTV, antique Japanese tansu chests, a balcony, separate dressing room, Japanese-inspired bathroom, and a private redwood deck that floats among the bamboo and Japanese maples in the rear garden.
The second bedroom is smaller but equally stylish with a queen bed, a 42-inch HDTV, and its own large bathroom. There is also a leather couch in the living room which opens into a comfortable queen-size sofa bed.
All three TVs have Xfinity (Comcast) HD cable service with hundreds of channels and many free, on-demand movies. In addition, the TV in the master bedroom provides free access to Netflix. A guest computer with high-speed broadband Internet access is provided, and there is free high speed broadband WiFi throughout the house.
As you have probably already gathered, I am rather fond of my home, but my opinion is shared by others. Previous guests have said 'it is like staying in a miniature museum', 'an architectural gem!', 'one of the most beautiful houses I have ever seen', 'incredibly peaceful, a wonderful place to relax'. A real estate professional who stayed for two weeks said, in his review on one web site, 'I have rented many houses in various locations throughout the years. Bill's house was the best ever.' If you need more convincing, just read some of the more than 50 5-star reviews my house has received.
Of course I appreciate all the compliments, but the point is that my Potrero Hill House is more than just a place to store your suitcase and sleep while you are visiting San Francisco. It will be an intimate part of your experience. If you or a member of your family plays the piano, there is a Steinway grand in the living room. If you are a history buff or armchair explorer, you will find one of California's largest private collections of books on Alaska and Russian America. If you are more into literature, there is an extensive collection of books by and about Mark Twain. If you appreciate art, the walls are covered with original works by contemporary artists, none of whom are particularly famous -- yet -- but all of whom are extremely talented and, I am fortunate to say, personal friends of mine. Scattered throughout the house you will discover Eskimo and Native American art and artifacts, sculpture, antique Japanese tansu chests, Persian carpets, and many other treats.
Located high on the coveted north slope of Potrero Hill, my house offers incredible views of San Francisco's famous skyline and is just minutes from the financial district, Moscone Center, Union Square and the SF Giants' ballpark. You can reach any other part of the City (Fisherman's Wharf, Golden Gate Park, the Golden Gate Bridge, etc.) in 20 minutes or less. San Francisco Airport is 15 minutes away, Oakland and Berkeley are 30 minutes away, Stanford University and Silicon Valley are 30-45 minutes away, Sausalito, Tiburon, and Mill Valley are 30 minutes away. Napa Valley and the wine country are just an hour away, Carmel and Monterey are 2 hours away, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park are 4 hours away.
Potrero Hill is justly famous for having the sunniest and warmest weather in San Francisco. Fortunately, the hills to the west usually protect us from the chilly evening fog that typically covers most of the rest of San Francisco. This safe, quiet, upscale neighborhood is a true delight. Several of San Francisco's best restaurants are within walking distance, including French, Italian, Chinese, Thai, Middle Eastern, and the much-loved Goat Hill Pizza, one of the best pizzeria's in town (all-you-can-eat on Mondays!). Farley's, whose motto is 'friends don't let friends drink Starbucks', is a classic 1950s coffee shop that draws customers from all over the city. If you like beer, the Anchor Steam Brewery tasting room is four blocks down the hill. And then there is Dogpatch, located on the east side of Potrero Hill and just a few blocks away. Home to working-class families for more than a century, Dogpatch, now the 'Dogpatch Historic District', has been discovered by young techies, artists, restauranteurs, and winemakers and is being transformed into one of San Francisco's trendiest new neighborhoods.
Finally, one of the best features of my neighborhood is that it is one of the very few places in San Francisco where there is never have a parking problem for you or your guests! Parking spaces abound and no permit is required. But if you prefer to use public transportation, there is a bus stop one block away.
To make certain that your stay is trouble-free, my house manager lives in a small cottage at the rear of the garden and is ready to assist you as necessary.
In my humble opinion, you will be hard pressed to find any other rental property in San Francisco as unique and wonderful as my Potrero Hill House -- and my low rental rates make it one of the best values in town! So, why stay in a pricey San Francisco hotel or sterile corporate apartment when my house offers twice as much for half the price? Why deal with an agent or property manager when you can deal directly with the owner? My Potrero Hill House is truly one of the best accommodation values in San Francisco!
My rates include all taxes, so when you compare my rates with a hotel, don't forget to add to the rate quoted by the hotel both the 14% San Francisco hotel tax and the 8.5% sales tax. Many San Francisco visitors are shocked when their final hotel bill turns out to be 25% higher than they had anticipated.
PLEASE NOTE: Maximum occupancy is six persons. Minimum stay is three nights. Minimum age is eight years old. Please check my availability calendar before making an inquiry. Because I travel so much, email is my preferred method of contact.
I am an entrepreneur, venture capitalist and consultant who has spent more than 25 years in Silicon Valley. I have started several companies of my own and worked with dozens of other embryonic technology ventures providing concept validation, strategic analysis and planning, interim management, mentoring, and investment capital. In a moment of whimsy or insanity (the jury is still out), two friends and I recently put together a group of investors to buy a ruined 17th mill on the Tiber River about an hour and a half from Rome, Italy. We hope to begin restoration soon: www.mulinosultevere.com.
***** Excellent!
Bill: It was a good stay over at your place. It was a comfortable, great priced accommodation where you can really relax, and there was ample room to move around and enjoy. We loved the fireplace and all the windows and use of wood. The kitchen was great. All your books and art give the house a unique, personal feel. You had everything an out-of-town tourist needs!
The infinite variety of activities available in and around San Francisco defies description. If you can imagine it you can probably do it in our great city.

During the height of its power, in the 16th and 17thcenturies, this relatively small Iberian country controlled a vast empire that stretched throughout the Americas, Africa and Asia. One legacy is the millions of native Spanish speakers around the globe; the language of Castile (Spanish or castellano) is now the world's second most common first language. In recent times, 30 plus years of democracy have allowed the country to modernize its infrastructure, beautify its cities and become the fourth largest economy in the euro-zone. Today Spain is both a modern, industrial nation and a beckoning tourist destination with sparkling beaches, exceptional food and wine, and more UNESCO world heritage sites (40) than any country in the world except Italy. ELI offers internships in Madrid, the elegant and sophisticated capital, and in Barcelona, the bohemian, art-filled city on the Mediterranean coast. Programs start with four weeks of intensive Spanish so that participants can brush up on their language skills and gain confidence. During the month of language lessons, interns will also work closely with the staff in Spain to identify potential internship locations, learn about Spanish business culture, and do mock interviews. Please click on the other tabs to learn more about this two part experience. Language Classes Part I: Language Course The Spain program in Barcelona or Madrid begins with four weeks of intensive Spanish classes. These classes are mandatory as companies in Spain have high expectations for their foreign interns and advanced skills are necessary for a successful placement. Classes are small (maximum 10 students) to ensure individualized attention during the 20 hours of weekly instruction. Students will improve upon their language skills and learn about Spanish business culture while also preparing for the practicum portion of the experience through mock interviews and resume writing workshops. During these first four weeks, students will also work closely with the local coordinators to identify potential internship placements in the student's field of choice as well as schedule in-person interviews. Internships Part II: Practicum (Internship) Once a company has extended an offer, students will complete the eight weeks of internship/work experience.· Through the internship, participants will gain hands-on work experience with a major Spanish company in their field of choice while at the same time putting their language skills into practice.· There is no better way to gain fluency than living and working in the language on a daily basis! Areas of focus: Business Marketing Tourism Hospitality Communications/Media Graphic Arts Publishing Computers and IT NGOs Cinema and Entertainment Sports Fashion Shipping and Logistics Companies we have worked with in the past include: Ifema Madrid Life Magazine· Avanzia Virtual Group Rafael Hotels Catenon Human Resources Details Program Includes: *Pre-Departure Materials *Airport Pickup (optional $120) *Orientation Session *Intensive Spanish Lessons *Internship placement *In-country support *US based staff support Program Does Not Include: *Round trip airfare *Required travel and medical insurance Accommodations Options for housing in Madrid and Barcelona include shared apartment, student residence or host family.

The repair is to replace the outer tub and inner basket. You can clean the shaft up and lubricate it, but this is a temporary repair and will last 6 months at most.
The suspicion is that this issue is usually found on units where the customer is NOT using HE detergent. This causes the scum buildup which eventually messes up the shaft.

Every time the problem was water infiltration into the flotation chamber at
the bottom of the inner tub.
If you can get the inner tub out , hold it by the top & try to gently swirl the water in the balance ring.
If it has water in the bottom chamber you can not even hold on to it!
This may sound crazy but I could not believe it either.
As Strathy & Samurai said it is caused by non HE detergent use.

The floatation chamber is the empty spaces under the plastic base of the basket. Air is captured there when the tub fills, causing the basket to float upwards to disengage from the drive cog so the wash plate can oscillate separately. The automatic water level sensing function is also related to the basket floating. If the basket base is damaged such that the floatation chamber can't hold air, then the basket won't float, the machine can't sense the required fill level and can't agitate.
There are BALANCE RINGS integral to the top and bottom of the basket that are approximately half-filled with water. The water is *supposed* to be there. It didn't "infiltrate" into the chambers, they are factory-sealed with the water already filled. DO NOT drill holes to drain them, the machine WILL NOT spin properly if the balance rings leak or are purposely drilled/drained. The water serves as a gyroscopic balance effect during spin.
Fisher & Paykel washers that use the same basket and drive design state in the service docs that the basket must be within a specific weight range per the water in the balance rings ... weighing the basket is one way to determine if the ballast water has leaked out ... the basket must be replaced if it has leaked. I've not seen a stated basket weight for Cabrio/Oasis/Bravos units, but the same concept surely applies.

Ratchet wasn't so bad himself.
Arcee's "small intestine" line was great.
The fight was fun enough.
The drones' response to Starscream's speech was kinda funny. Reminded me of the Battle Droids from the Clone Wars cartoon, which can only be a good thing.
Skyquake was cool. No way is he gone for good, I don't care how much talk there is about the stakes being real.
I wonder how the next sleeper agent with no vehicle mode will look. Car grill for a chest, tires on his shoulders? Maybe a big ol' Mercedes emblem on the crest of his helmet?

Fowler has got to be a robot. He has mad piloting skills for a big guy, and doesn't need any equipment!
I think scanning makes it way too easy to change vehicle modes. I like to think he was put in stasis in some kind of default mode that would make it easy to lock in an appropriate form when he woke up. Once he locks one in, it is a bigger deal to change it again.
But I doubt the writers put that much thought into it.

Not much choice since the show hasn't shown us the world aside from the desert and about 5 humans. Not much to say about a silo and a few rocky canyons.
I'm not saying that Prime lacks an interesting environment, but yeah, it totally lacks an interesting environment. Animated at least gave us a crazy future Detroit.
Not sure what is meant by spammy posts. There's plenty of discussion going on, but also some images and videos being tossed around. Not our fault if people aren't widespread taking screenshots and having fun with Prime. I only saw one post here with some avatars posted.
To be fair there are seperate topics for actual Prime toys(what little has been shown) and such, while FIM is all crammed in one place.
Frankly I find the tiny amount of Prime discussion disheartening and am not here to slam it. There's just not much to say.

Anyways liked the show. I'm sorry but i dont take it seriously. Its a kids show, and the day i start taking a kids show THAT seriously i'm quitting the hobby. Anything else is just pathetic in my eyes.
I dont care The human wasnt wearing a flight suit. I dont care If quake had plane parts( they have been doing it for 25 years in toons, im not complaining about it NOW), toons get to cheat a little.
When i saw Skyquake, i thought instantly, Oh he would make a good Overlord repaint.

And about those two girls in front of the school, no, they were not the same girls Jack was speaking to in the first episode.
Posted 12 February 2011 - 11:41 PM
Otherwise, not a bad episode. Animation's looks a lot better this time. It looks finished. Like that this show finally has a real intro. Did not like that the first 5 episodes only had a logo (I assume it was either not done yet or they meant for the first 5 to act as a movie).
I do hate they already killed off Skyquake. Mostly because I'm sure he'll be back as a zombie later and I slaggging hate zombies (my biggest problem with this series as a whole so far). I am glad Skyquake wasn't a Hulk rip off, you know, the "Skyquake smash!" type.
Also, the lip sync was off in some scenes. Mostly Starscream. It's possible that it's just the version I watched.
Ratchet was the single best part of this episode. He's crazy for SCIENCE!
I enjoyed the EradiTerrorVehiCon questioning Starscream.
Didn't care for him at first, but I'm enjoying Soundwave more every time I see him. I would like to see how he fights (umm, bot that is). His head makes me want to kitbash a Cyberjet.
Thank Primus they brought Megs back now. Couple of more episodes of Starscream yelling "I'm the leader" like a whiny fanboy would've gotten super annoying. That, and everybody pretty much knew Megs wasn't really dead except Starscream (well, he probably knew too and ignored it).
I really hope they turn Fowler's somewhat random appearance and use of expensive military vehicles into a run-on-gag. Hopfully upping the ante every time.

Bumblebee needs a voice. The beeping is getting annoying and isn't endearing. The Puppy Dog eyes don't help.
Peter's easing back into the role of Prime. Still coming off as stiff, but there are moments where he loosens up a bit. I'm optimistic by the end of the season he'll be back to the "Good Ol' Prime" voice. Can't very well expect the man to hit the gate running after twenty five years away from the character.
Combs as Ratchet is a joy. I'm loving him.
Skyquake was...boring. I get why he was part of the episode, but I found his bits tedious interludes to Starscream and Soundwave's shenanigans. But again, I understood why he was there - to give the kids to boom blam action! I will admit I liked it when he scanned Fowler's jet. "Air Superiority Acquired!" was a good line, I thought.
It was a decent episode overall. I'm eager to see where they go with Megatron, Starscream, and Soundwave. Does Megatron remember Starscream's words?
Oh, and before I forget the animation is really nice and expressive when they want it to be. Starscream's expressions throughout the episode, but especially Megatron's reaction to having the Dark Energon pulled out of his chest. Props to the Animators for that one.

In comic book physics, fists are better than plasma.
Agreed. He's the high point of the series thus far - I want to cuddle his existence almost as frequently as I want to kick Fowler's.
I guess I just can't bring myself to be "alarmed" by a less than perfect cartoon. It's not Animated, but it's certainly not Energon. (I don't think the problem is the voice acting, because I think the lines would seem "rigid" in script form, too.)
Honestly, I'm surprised that hasn't come up. It doesn't resemble the "real" Earth, and there's been surprisingly little worldbuilding, so I'm really pretty curious.
And, of course, Prime is only six episodes in. (Yes, six, as in the number of twenty-two minute segments that have actually been broadcast.)
Or create a smiley that means "Mute Bumblebee sucks"
This do?
Posted 13 February 2011 - 03:25 AM
It kinda is like Energon so far except with a competent staff. It's not trying anything new. It's very rote and by the numbers.
I remain hopeful it will improve but it hasn't "hooked me" so far. Something both MLP and Renegades had managed to do by this point in their respective runs.

Prime has competent scripting/voice acting/animation (so it's clearly superior on that basis alone) but it's very "standard" and plodding so far which was a problem (among many others) that Energon suffered from. It is very AEC in that aspect so if you have a particular problem with equating it to Energon simply substitute A or C instead.
