Scientists Find Apes Are Food Critics. Yelp! Braces for Flood of Banana Reviews
We've always heard that humans share about 96% of their genetic make up with apes, but now we can add one more similarity: food criticism.
Researchers in the UK discovered that bonobos communicate details about food quality with one another.
Without the aid of Twitter, Foursquare, or even Foodspotting (imagine!), the chimps grunt to convey prime foraging spots for the best eats, much like the Foodist.
When a kiwi — a favorite amongst these apes — is discovered, they utter high pitched barks and peeps. When they come across a not-as-desirable apple, they emit low pitch yelps.
It's not only a remarkable exhibit of primates' ability to communicate, but it's interesting to know that feces-tossing chimps have always expressed their dietary displeasure using yelp.

Neutral Milk HotelThe Jefferson TheaterApril 14, 2015 8:00 PM
110 East Main Street
Charlottesville, VA 22902
Amongst indie folk and psychedelic rock musicians of the modern era, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more frequent common inspiration than Neutral Milk Hotel. Though far from a household name in its heyday of the mid to late-1990s, the Ruston, Louisiana-originated group left an impressively influential legacy behind in its wake. The band's most identifiable and effective weapon could be found in the freewheeling, elastic quaver of front man Jeff Mangum's voice, which has inspired a generation of knockoffs. Not to be dismissed, however, the rest of the group was up to task as well, warping poppy indie folk with occasional bursts of fuzzy distortion, punk rock, horn arrangements, singing saw and accordion. Neutral Milk Hotel reached its high-water mark in 1998 with the release of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, a brilliantly arranged album that captured the group's affinity for sparse beauty and cacophonous racket in equal doses. Living in Athens, Georgia by this time, the band became affiliated with the Elephant 6 collective of musicians, often collaborating with psychedelic throwback groups such as Elf Power, Olivia Tremor Control and others. Neutral Milk Hotel disbanded in 1999, sending Mangum into a long reclusive period of inactivity, much to the frustration of his fans. As of 2011 however, he'd started to play shows again, often performing Neutral Milk Hotel songs alongside his repertoire of solo material.View More >

103 South 1st Street
Charlottesville, VA 22902
James McMurtry is an Austin, Texas-based musician who is known for his purist approach to some decidedly American genres such as alt-country and Americana. Whether performing alone with his acoustic guitar or backed by his band, The Heartless Bastards, McMurtry writes in the classic singer/songwriter mold, favoring vivid imagery and storytelling over personal confessionals or cryptic, metaphorical lyrics. Though there's nothing particularly special about his voice and guitar playing, it's the simplistic but intense conviction of the overall package that has won McMurtry comparisons to legends such as John Prine and Jackson Browne. He's also been known to occasionally use his songwriting as a means of political discourse, penning songs in protest against Wal-Mart and the Iraq war.View More >

Crescent Island Things to Do
By far the nicest way to reach Crescent Island is by boat, which also allows you to appreciate Lake Naivasha's charms. The boats are safe and well constructed, and wearing a life vest is mandatory.
It's only a short boat trip as the crow flies, but the trip is 'fleshed out' to include some waterborne game viewing - particularly of hippos - as well as excellent bird watching. Be sure to mention to the guide if you're interested in birds, as the variety of waterbirds is spectacular - we had spotted goliath heron, spoonbills and giant kingfishers in a matter for minutes - see the travelogue on my Lake Naivasha page for more detail.
Be assured that your guide will also 'offer' you the chance to see a fish eagle swooping for a fish and will be duly horrified should you turn this opportunity down!
Wildlife purists would probably condemn this trip to 'Tourist Traps' or 'Warnings and Dangers', so if you are of that persuasion, you should probably move onto the next tip ...
If you take a boat trip on Lake Naivasha to Crescent Island, it is almost certain that your tour guide will ask you whether you want to see a fish eagle catch a fish ... a little symbiotic party trick that both parties have developed to ensure local eagles with a steady supply of low-effort food, and the guides with equally steady stream of tips!
It's really very simple. The guide tosses a dead fish in the water and whistles for the eagle. The eagle swoops down from his treetop roost, retrieves the fish with its talons and then returns to its perch to eat in comfort. It is utterly orchestrated and unspontaneous, but it does give you a ringside seat from which to watch these majestic birds retrieving prey, and if you only have a couple of days in the bush, the chances are that you won't be lucky enough to witness this spectacle elsewhere.
The downside is, of course, that the eagles develop a dependency on this easy food source, and our guide admitted that he doubted that the eagles involved bothered to hunt at all for other food. I don't think that this is a huge problem, as there probably only a couple of dozen birds involved, and this food source doesn't show any signs of abating, but it definitely is a 'learned' behaviour that compromises the birds' independence.
From a practicality point of view, there is only so much fish a fish eagle can eat, so if you want to withness this, try and go early in the morning whilst the birds are still hungry: by midday, they were studiously ignoring the fish being tossed out and the guides were resorting to ever more frantic whistling to try and encourage them into activity!
Lastly a note for the photographers. We took a new camera with us on this trip (as our old one died just before we departed), and hadn't had a chance to 'play' with it in advance, which is never a good idea. Having learned more about our camera since then, we should have used the 'sports mode' to take a swift succession of action photos as the fish eagle swooped ... but it's easy to be wise in hindsight!
The degree to which the 'wild' animals are habituated to humans on Crescent Island needs to be seen to be believed. I have certainly never before have had the pleasure of having groups of usually skittish waterbuck pose calmly for me ... so the truth is out ... I'm actually not as good a photographer as the picture might suggest!
Waterbuck are one of my very favourite species of antelope (although at some point or other, I suspect that I've probably said that about virtually all of them!) and I am particularly susceptible to their shaggy 'teddy bear' charms - especially the calves, who - unlike wildebeest - have raised 'cute and cuddly' to an artform (see photo)! As with many species of buck, the males tend to get kicked out to form batchelor herds (see photo) once they reach maturity, leaving the dominant male to preside over his harem and their young.
If you're a beginner to this gamespotting lark, it can initially be confusing to distinguish between species and you're left agonising over whether it's a Thomson's or a Grant's gazelle. However, take heart, because identifying waterbuck is a doddle. If you're not close enough to identify their shaggy coats, then look for the distinctive white horseshoe around their tails, which makes them look like they've accidentally sat down on a freshly painted toilet seat ... a failsafe method of identification which my kids never cease to be amused by!

My wife and I currently reside in canada about 30 minutes from Niagara Falls we are in the restaurant business and our goal is to make your stay as comfortable as possible
JOHN MACDONALD purchased this townhome in 2014
So close to the heart of Orlando , close to Disney theme parks, Daytonna beach is within driving distance or just relax and enjoy Regal Palms ammenties such as lazy river, pools, hot tub, beach volleyball, etc
We feel the benefits from staying at our place will be that we also have travelled and sometimes you just want that relaxed feeling that everything has been taken care of for you as well as some down home Canadian hospitality with what we think is the best property manager in Orlando Debbie B who will make your stay just that much better and handle all your requests in a professional and timely manner
The townhouse was easy to find and overall clean. The pool was fun and our children enjoyed the water slide and lazy river, even in February. We enjoyed Legoland, Disney, and Sea World while staying in this fairly central location. The townhouse had plenty of room for our family of 4. The carpets could use a good cleaning on the main floor, we would even go so far as to suggest a tile or hardwood remodel.
everything we were expecting and more thank you house was clean and welcoming
We just returned from a Disney vacation and rented this house. It is great!! It is so clean and modern! The resort is wonderful. My kids LOVED the pool because it had a slide, they loved the lazy river and the heated pool as well. It was so convenient having the restaurant on site and it is also located directly behind Publix. It didn't take us long at all to get to Disney. 10-15 minutes and that was in heavy traffic. I would recommend this house to anyone. TONS of room, very clean, plenty of extra towels/bath cloths.... everything you need is there! You don't even have to bring beach towels. They give them to you at the pool! Debbie, property manager, was wonderful as well. She was quick to answer any questions we had and was very nice! We didn't want to leave and will definitely be back!!!
Nous sommes resté à cette maison pour 2 semaines en février 2013. La maison étais propre et elle est à 12 minutes de marche de la piscine. Nous avons passé du bon temps. La maison était comme dans l'annonce de VRBO. Nous étions pour deux semaines comme des résidents de la Floride!
We stayed at this home for two weeks in February 2013. The house was clean and it is 12 minutes walk from the pool. We had a great time. The house was like the announcement of VRBO. We were for two weeks as Florida residents!
First off I would like to thank Debbie for contacting me and answering all my questions and making it easy to set up all that was required.
The home is very clean and shows better then the photos that are on the web page. We travailed with a family of 6 and the home has all that you will need in a vacation home. The bedrooms have plenty of space, flat screen TV's in all the bedrooms and in the main living area, WIFI was a great for the kids, they brought their laptops and PS3 and were able to surf and play which we all know is a big deal to them now of days. Shopping was close by and 10 / 15 minute drive to the heart of Disney. The pool was great, the kids loved it you can drive to the pool or walk like we did it was a 6 to 8 minutes to walk to the pool entrance.
I recommend this home to any family and I'm sure we will return here on a future vacation.
Gino & Family
From: Hamilton, Ontario Canada
I recently had our annual vacation and we stayed for 10 days at this beautiful home. We were traveling with 7 people, and there was more than enough room for everyone. Debbie was so helpful in renting this place and even helped me extend our stay...we liked this place that much.
There were 3 bedrooms. The Master bedroom had a Jacuzzi tub (my favorite!) They do not provide any toiletries, so you have to purchase your own soap and shampoo, toilet paper, and trash bags. We tried to leave as many supplies for the next family as we could. It had a full kitchen if you want to cook, and a washer/dryer in the house which for a family of 7 is VERY CONVENIENT. Buying an innertube at Walmart would be a smart idea if you are planning on spending time in the pool. WALMART also had the cheapest Disney souveniers if anyone is interested.
My kids LOVED the pool area. It is a little far from the room, so we drove to the pool. The waterslide was fun, and the lazy river was cool. There are 2 pools. One major pool with the zero gravity entrance, waterslide, and lazy river, and then a separate swimming pool, and hot tub. It had a SPRING BREAK vibe. With lots of people and tons of energy. There was an area for the kids to get Facepainting, Hair Wraps, and Temporary Tattoos. I loved that there was a DJ spinning tunes by the pool. I even got my CHA CHA slide on right there by the pool. He was very entertaining had a lot of games and prizes for the kids. I even won a prize for being the first to bring him something with Mickey Mouse on it. On Friday nights they had Karaoke by the pool which was SO MUCH FUN!
We did the Theme Parks for 7 days. The drive is not far at all. It took us maybe 10-15 minutes from the house to get to the DisneyWorld gates. It was also very nice to be away from all the noise of the International Strip. We did Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Islands Of Adventure, Universal Studios and Downtown Disney.
I was very sad to leave our little home away from home. It exceeded our exceptions, and we will definetly be returning to this place next time we come to Florida.

Why we want it: If there's one type of shoe we couldn't make it through Fall without, it'd be the dependable, goes-with-everything bootie. And this Marc by Marc Jacobs style, casual but chic, could be one of the mightiest options we've seen in awhile. Smart enough to go with black tights and a dress but low-key enough to be paired with your favorite beat-up skinny jeans, these babies might not have a day off until next May rolls around.

The Eurodisney tourist – a real danger !
As I use this term quite often in my writings about Venezia, I will explain it here. Remember the statistics of Venezia's tourism. Nearly 80% of us are day visitors, coming in the morning and leaving in the evening and don't come back. When I was wandering through Venezia, looking here and there and also taking the vaporettos, I did see so many of very strange behaving foreigners, so I decided to call them Eurodisney visitors. So who are they ? They are tourists who believe that Venezia is a museum. A gigantic museum on water, made to please their eyes. What they neglect is that this city has been erected ages before even anyone thought of their existence and was not at all built to be seen as a tourist trap or a museum city. Venezia just was lucky that it was not much bombed during the world wars (that's what I read) and that the Venezianos love their home city very much, thus take care that it won't be destroyed by the ravages of time, and by us tourists.
Eurodisney visitors will block almost everything, as (as described above), they cannot believe that other people actually have to go from A to B and not marvel at Eurodisney Venezia like themselves. Several times I also did observe that they must have fall from the sky onto the vaporettos, as they seem not to realise that – once a vaporetto approaches a yellow vaporetto stop (= like one where they themselves sould have boarded the vaporetto), it will stop there, let passengers get off and on the boat. They were hanging over the rail (= the one, the assistant would have to open to let others get off and on), and looked at this poor assistant as if he would be an alien. I am sure, they never got the point why he wanted them move away from the rail……
Yes, I am fully aware that I am very very much sarcastic here. I had to get it off my chest and maybe it helps the non-VTers which come from Google's search engines, to realise that they should watch their behaviour towards the others when visiting what they believe is Eurodisney museum city Venezia.Related to:

Watch your step ! Or you fall in the canales
Apart from being squeezed to death (or almost death) at the neuralgic spots in the city, this is the most important danger I really felt in Venezia. But it has nothing to do with subjects, but with our own. So often, when I was wandering around to take photos, and made some steps to my left or right, I realised that I got quite close to the water. I was constantly talking to myself "don't fall into the canale"… haha, must have been a weird sight or sound to the passing by passengers. But be aware, it is very much easy to fall in the canale, as most of the canales are not protected by a wall or balustrade. One wrong step, and it would simply make plop – and off you are…
Another "danger" might wait for you at the end of a ramo, which is a dead end, but often ends at the water itself. It is meant for boats to stop here for dropping off people who live there, so it mostly has some steps leading into the water. But again, the high oxygen content of the lagoon's water increases the growth of algae, so they are also growing on these stone steps. It can get hellish slippery, not only after rain – and again, one wrong step – and off you are in the water. It is a very good idea to bring good footwear (anyhow, as you will walk and walk), but make sure, the profile of your soles is of a good grip.Related to:

No backpacks allowed in Basilica San Marco
This is also meant as a be aware (and neither warning nor danger) before you are disappointed or even angry when it happens. As already mentioned in my pack list, bring a handbag (ladies) or one of these pouches that go around the waist, when you want to visit Basilica San Marco or its Loggia. There are big signs all over at the main entrance of Basilica San Marco (see photo), which clearly say in picture language that big bags, suitcases, trolleys and backpacks are not allowed inside the church. I was still amazed to see so many people lining up with trolleys and backpacks and watched them when they were approaching the guard. Of course he rejected to let them in, he pointed to the big sign and they had to go to leave their bags at the room in Calle S. Basso. Of course they had to queue again and were not given a shortcut entering.
The room to drop the bags is (as said) in Calle S. Basso. It is the first door at the right in this small street; unfortunately no sign at the entrance. But the door is open and you can see guards with shelves and backpacks behind them. BTW, this drop-off station opens 30 minutes before the guards let us into the basilica, so time enough before starting to queue.Related to:

Danger for Venezia, and your pocket
I didn't find out yet how many of these huge cruise ships are sailing through Venezia's lagoon per week (I am still searching). What I have read though is that the emission(s) of one single big cruise ship equals the ones of 14.000 cars if driving for 24 hours. 15% of dust pollution in the city is caused by them. Now do the huge ships not only cause pollution in the air, but also pollution of the water. Moreover, they are partly responsible for causing the increased floods that beset Venezia more and more. And yes, of course, the floods themselves are a "natural" phenomenon – but they occur with higher frequency since the deep channels have been digged into the lagoon to allow ships with a deeper draught to navigate around. And yes, originally these channels have been digged for the oil tankers to navigate to Porto Maghera and the dubious production sites that poison(ed) the water with their waste. So yes, it sounds logical to take advantage and also have cruise ships navigating to the port in eastern Venezia. But by now, it is something like the sorcerer's sigh "The spirits I have called" – the massive huge ship traffic destroys the equilibrium of the lagoon. It all is like a vicious circle, and the increasing amount of taxi boats, shipping the increasing amount of tourists around, add to it. As a result of this increasing water traffic (no matter how big the boats are), the oxygen level in the water increases tremendously, thus algae, etc, as I already explained in the trap section.
The taxi boats are also a danger to your pocket – they cost a fortune, as each and everything is charged for (luggage, waiting time, etc).
I cannot prevent anyone from boarding one of these deadly cruise ships or using a taxi boat. I only want to explain how much negative impact they give and make room for own thoughts.

Game with Matchboxes (V)
I was stunned to see people playing game with matchboxes on the Accademia Bridge. It is very simple way of robbing people. The aim is to find little ball under one of three matchboxes. If one guess well – he/she will earn some money. But the most of the "winners" are in deal with game leader, just showing to the others how "easy" is to grab money. I took some poor photo of that, but such "players" are easy to recognize, and my advice is to avoid them.Related to:

Safety and security in Venezia – excellent !
I thought, I'd better place this here and clearly state that I never ever perceived Venezia as dangerous, not even at night. I felt extremely safe, wherever and whenever I went strolling around in the city. Even at night, where I would be much aware of pickpocketers or whatever in my own town or anywhere I was before (except Uzbekistan and Tajikistan) – but not so here ! Even at night, no matter at which time, me as single female traveller did not felt at any risk. Well, I don't hang jewels around on my whole body, don't wear miniskirts (haha, in my age and with my size, it wouldn't be appropriate anyhow) and never left my handbag (which I don't own) dangling over my shoulder.
Just use your common sense, as anywhere on the world.
But I am pretty sure that we all have to be thankful to Venezia's police, who try to keep the city "clean" from rubbish elements. Plus, we have to be extra grateful to them, as they most probably do it in order to make us tourists feel safe, and less to protect the locals. Venezia just cannot dare to get into the headlines for being unsafe.
Nevertheless, subesquent, I will write some "warnings"; most of which are meant as "be aware" about things which are most probably different from your homecountry or have to do with Venezia's position in the middle of water. Some are also meant as warnings, that have an impact on the beauty of the city herself.Related to:

You can get squeezed to death in Venezia
Yes, and this is also serious, as it might easily happen during high peak seasons. Even in May 2007, when I was there, Ponte Rialto, Ponte Accademia and around the bridge in front of Ponte Sospiri were crammed with us tourists; well, 80% of them mostly Eurodisney visitors (I will explain the meaning of this term in the next tip).
The average Eurodisney visitor is not aware that locals actually live in Venezia and that they have to move from A to B to get to work or to do their business. Eurodisney visitors just stand and block ways, calles and bridges. Their completely blindness to the others (be it us other tourists or the locals) makes it very much dangerous to move along. Very often, they were standing there, piled up along the fondamentas, not even making room for the people that wanted to pass. I was nearly wiped away into the canales twice, when they were talking to each other with wide spreading arms, but … well, finally I deliberately bumped into them to make them aware of the existence of other persons… I am amazed that not more people end up falling into the canales, just because the Eurodisney visitors don't realise that not everyone in Venezia mixes the city up with Eurodisney.
My suggestion ? If you can, avoid the neuralgic spots of Ponte Rialto, Ponte Accademia and the bridge in front of Ponte Sospiri during the peak times of the day, which seems to be between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you can't avoid these times or if you meet them at spots where they might wipe you into the canales with their heavily moving arms, just push yourself right through the middle, and if it still seems to be difficult, use your ellbows. People like these can only learn by being pushed with the ellbows.Related to:

No photos in (most of) the churches !
This is meant as a be aware (and neither warning nor danger) – be aware of this before you go to Venice and get disappointed: it is forbidden to take photos inside most of the churches. There are clear signs (= pictographs) about this at any entrance, so no one can pretend not to have seen them (not even the inhabitants of certain countries that refuse to speak any other language than their own or English). Though I don't know what would happen if you take photos and get "caught in the act". They might want you to delete them (and watch you while you are doing so), well that is for digital cameras.
Still, I very much misbehaved myself. I took one photo in Tintoretto's church Madonna dell'Orto, another one in San Pietro, but this was in the little apse chapels, no one was in there, no one was looking and I didn't use flash. And we took photos of San Marco Basilica, but from the loggia (into the church's inside) 20 minutes prior to the closing = 5 p.m.. But situations like these are not likely to happen inside of the big churches where priests or employees are present everywhere.
If you try to take a photo in a non-watched moment, make sure you will not use flash, though.
There are churches, however, where it is allowed to take photos (such as SS Giovanni e Paolo in western Castello), but then the pictograms at the entrance definitely say "without flash" (the word flash is used globally).
If you are in doubt, ask at the cash desk.Related to:

You can easily get lost
Believe me you set off from the door of your hotel (no not the water door) and turn into the narrow walkway...you go over a bridge and turn again and you come to a little square where there is a shop selling coffee....after you have enjoyed a rest in the 'back streets' you look at the walkways leading off the square...which way ?you wonder.
The buildings have numbers...so you know your address but here is another turn....what number now? There are many hotels....the locals cannot understand you...the rest are tourists looking for their way back.
So next time we took a map with us...it was some help....But the best way is to take a pen and paper and write down your own markers....be very exact and turn around a make the marker easy to see as you are going back.
Oh and have the name and number of your hotel with you and a map showing the location of the hotel...but it is quite a feat to have worked it out yourself
Ok you are mod...you have a GPS thing...great
Changed vaporetto schedules after football
Italians love their football, just like any other football crazy nation does. And it seems that any other life can come to a standstill when football matches are going on.
On my last Sunday I went to look for chiesa S Nicolo dei Mendìcoli in the very far east of Dorsoduro. After having visited the church, I wanted to hop on the vaporetto at Santa Maria. Now this is at Canale Somenzera, which runs "north" to meet with Canal Grande at Piazzale Roma. Santa Maria is served by vaporetto 42 and 52, which would have brought me directly home to Fondamenta Nuove (or 62, which would make a stop at Piazzale Roma where I could switch into my 42/52). When I approached the station, I already saw a huge crowd of policemen and, as a true German native, had a guilty conscience (haha, this is off topic but somehow I feel that we Germans all look deep inside and search for our sins when we see policemen). Ok, so they were piling around the station and when I got closer I saw a huge kind of ferry boat where almost millions of football fans got off and got into some of the busses waiting for them. I thought, ok, the boat will eventually leave and then I can get my vaporetto. Not so – first, more of these ferry boats with football fans arrived (it must have been 6 or 7 in total), but also in between, when the vaporetto stop was empty, none of the vaporettos stopped here to let us board. And it was not only me, but over the time more than 20 other people arrived at the stop, all being locals. But as they took it with patience, I also did so, and finally, after having waited for nearly 2 hours, a No.42 vaporetto was nice enough to collect us :-)
So: better be prepared and don't look for a boat that collects you in football game Sunday afternoons after 5 p.m. at Santa Maria. Better walk directly to Piazzale Roma or back to Zattere.Related to:

Free Water Taxi Trip to Murano Not so Free!!
The friendly staff at our hotel had informed us that we could get a free water taxi ride to the island of Murano with a visit to a glass factory. The prospect of a free ride plus the possibility of seeing the island momentarily blinded me to the fact that all this would come at price!
The water taxi ride was wonderful ---- boarding the excellent boat just near our hotel, we passed under the Calatrava Bridge, and the Ponte della Liberta, before turning towards the island of Murano. The 20 to 30 minute boat ride on this stunningly beautiful day, along with being upon the water reminded me of my youth growing up on the Chesapeake Bay.
Arriving on the island of Murano, we were warmly greeted by an employee of the Signoretti Glass Factory and escorted into the factory area where one of the artists gave us a demonstration of glass blowing. Though interesting, I have seen many glass-blowing demonstrations before and the piece the gentleman at Signoretti was working on was not a complicated one. We were then led into the multi-level store showcasing some of Signoretti's most expensive works such as chandeliers and objets d'art. Though there were many beautiful pieces, prices for some pieces were in the tens of thousands of Euros -- not in our league at all!!
When the gentleman realized we would not be purchasing any of these expensive pieces, his demeanor changed immediately for the worse and we were finally shown a room with beautiful, though much less expensive pieces. His obvious false hospitality was very disappointing and upsetting, but nonetheless, I still felt pressured to purchase something because of the free boat ride. In the end we decided to purchase a beautiful vase, though it was still what I would call expensive, afterwhich I was glad to leave. This pressure to purchase something moreorless ruined the experience for me, on top of which we never were able to see other parts of the island. This being said, anyone who accepts the free ride to Murano from a glass factory knowing this should enjoy this visit for what it is, and if you happen to buy a beautiful piece of artwork, so much the better! I certainly did enjoy the boat rides!
We were also promised a return ride to Fondamente Nuova. We were required to wait another 45 minutes (until there were enough other customers to fill the boat) before leaving the island, and then instead of being let off at the Fundamente Nuova, the boat dropped us off at San Marco--this lead us to the unfortunate vaporetto ride back to Ferrovia.
Lesson learned! In a situation such as this, nothing is really free!
Calle San Cipriano 48 - 30141 Murano (Venice) ITALY
Be prepared for quite some queueing if you want to visit the main attractions around Piazza San Marco. Try to arrive first thing in the morning, half an hour before the Basilica is opened. (it opens around 9h30) Avoid the afternoon during summer, when it's awfully hot! Since it's free entrance, the queue disappears actually rather quickly.
Don't sit down in San Marco Piazza!!
After wandering into San Marco Piazza, I'd sat down to rest my feet and was looking for something in my bag, when I was approached by a young woman with a large canvas bag who said something to me in Italian.
I explained I was English and didn't understand. She then told me (in English) that I wasn't allowed to sit there. I jumped up! I then wondered why I wasn't allowed - as there were lots of others also doing the same thing. She had moved onto the next person and was repeating her warning.
I noticed one of her colleagues, so decided to find out more.
Apparently the Mayor of Venice is troubled by the huge numbers of tourists sitting around the square and surrounding area, so he's employed this team to go around telling people that they're not allowed to sit there!! Apparently for those who refuse, there is a quick phone call to the police!
I asked why there weren't notices saying that You weren't allowed to sit in the Piazza. She said that it was against the law for notices to be put up in the Piazza!
Apparently You are only allowed to sit and eat in the public gardens.
I now remember reading a small newspaper article in one of the UK travel supplements, stating that the Mayor had employed a team to 'clean up' the Piazza especially targeting men without shirts or anyone eating or drinking.
This doesn't apply to the Piazzas cafes, where You pay dearly for your refreshments.
Perhaps he should have sorted out the pigeons who eat and s*it all over the Piazza first!
I don't know how much these policing the Piazza are paid, but it wouldn't be my idea of a holiday job - the girl I spoke to admitted that it was very stressful, with lots of annoyed people to deal with.
Presumably they're qualified first aiders too - as I'm sure there will be a few tourists keeling over in the summer heat from lack of food and drink and no where to rest!Related to:

How to find a place in Venice
So, you have the address you need, but... How, strange... There is no street/square indication!
Well, streets (actually mostly called "calli") or squares ("campi" unless you are in St. Mark) actually DO HAVE a name (but often not unique in Venice) and sometimes they are indicated in the address, but that is not mandatory.
A Venice address is made of Sestiere / Number (sestiere is one of the six quarters of Venice... actually SIXtiers!).
So, Castello 2557 may be all you have to find the place.
Oh, oh! This may be a problem. It's easier to win a lottery than to find your target address.
At this point (but only if you prepare your trip in advance) my tip is to visit the site www.ombra.net.
They have the best and more accurate on line maps of Venice, called veniceexplorer
from the link in the "website" section below, you just can choose the Sestiere and fill in the number. You will get a link with the name, and by clicking it a very accurate position of your address. Print it and pack it in your bag.
In the picture, an example of ombra.net maps.
There is a downloadable flash version of the entire map system, too
Narrow streets - beware and keep right
Again this is meant as be aware (and neither warning or danger) – some of the streets are so narrow that almost only one person does "fit" through it. It can get very much difficult to pass when oncoming foot traffic is approaching from the other side. Venezia is full with these small streets, and even when you don't expect small streets according to the map – they are there and make getting ahead difficult. That is also one of the reasons why I recommended in the packlist to travel with a backpack (as opposed to suitcase). I did see so many poor tourists struggling with their suitcases in these narrow lanes and then traffic jams happened. Of course, the occasional Eurodisney visitor gets trapped in the small streets as well, and, according to his/her belief, can't imagine that there are actually locals that need to use these streets to move from A to B – so it gets even more congested.Related to:

I bought this rug in ivory to place in front of a new faux fireplace we got for our basement. It's beautiful, and the perfect size to go between a loveseat and a fireplace. The ivory rug has just enough colors of green and burgundy to give it some interest, but still is pretty neutral. I just love this rug!
I bought two of these rugs for my master bath. I replaced older rugs for these. I put them in front of the two sink areas to bring some pop to the bathroom. They look amazing. Highly recommend.
Nice rug, the black looks very stately in my vintage art deco bathroom.

Aspirin can lower a person's risk of death from any cause, even in men and women who are so inactive that their inactivity increases their risk of death. A daily low dose of aspirin (81 mg) can cut the risk of death in people known or thought to have heart disease by as much as 30-40%, by preventing platelet aggregation.
A review of nearly 300 studies into the benefits of aspirin has confirmed that low-doses of the drug can dramatically reduce the risk of death from heart attack or stroke. People treated with aspirin or other anti-platelet drugs were 33% less likely to have a heart attack, 25% less likely to suffer a non-fatal stroke and nearly 17% less likely to die from cardiovascular-related causes...

Made the girl first, she was lonely and wanted a companion...so she got one.
Oh MT - these are soooooooo darlin'. Glad to see you back - have missed you a LOT. There's an artist who makes similar pot ladies on Flickr. Her pots are turned the other way so she can plant inside them. Yours are sooooo cute. I tried one like hers, and the face isn't very noticeable. I've been meaning to try another one. There's a world of things we could use on these. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the crown on the second one. Is that an old light fixture? Can't quite make out the top on the orange one.
Sorry Slow I haven't been on here...I've also been caught up in fb groups...have been painting too rather than mosaics. The head on potgirl is a pile of thinset with shell necklaces and sea spines poked in. And, yes the crown is from a stained glass lamp that I took apart for the glass. I thought of you Slow when I did that...I've kept it for a few years knowing that someday it will come in handy...and it did. Potguy's ears are brass pipe fittings. They will keep watch over my greenhouse. ..There's a gal in I think Brazil who makes a lot of faces, she teaches classes.

The lip syncing might seem a bit off here, but it's my understanding that it's because this is a low quality version of a higher quality one that will be released relatively soon, so it's not going to be an issue in the end.
Seeing the more whimsical nature of Professor Layton games combined with the more realistic Ace Attorney characters is a bit odd. Still looking forward to this and hopefully it'll be released in North America.

When to pull garlic
From everything I've read, garlic shouldn't be ready to pull up for another month or two, but mine seems to be exhibiting signs or readiness. I planted a clove last fall and it sprouted pretty early this season. I was planning on waiting until late July or August to pull it up, but the bottom leaf has already turned brown along with the tips of the upper leaves. It's a softneck variety and is standing about six inches high.
Should I pull it or let it ride? I know deciding when to take it out of the ground is a tricky business and I've already dedicated so much time to it, I'd hate to make a mistake now.
You might try posting this in the Alliums forum. There's actually a fairly recent thread going on right now that would be of use to you.
I don't have much experience with garlic, but I have a 12 inch high 4x8 bed filled with it this year. Can't wait to get some of those experience points! lol
I'm no expert on these, but here's my 2â: I have a lot of garlic that grew from just a few cloves from 30 years ago. Here in NE US, I leave my bulbs alone until fall, when they've usually produced bulbils too. I removed a large bunch of them that were in the way and laid them out in the garage. I was very surprised to see that when the leaves had dried, the bulbs seemed to have grown noticeably by absorbing the water from the leaves. So, when you do pull them, tie the leaves loosely together and let them hang until cured.
As a side note, I picked up this handy trick: when you are ready to peel the 'paper' off the cloves, place the separated cloves in a medium bowl, place another bowl inverted over the first, and holding the edges together, shake it as hard as you can for 30 seconds. the cloves should be stripped, and no garlick-y fingers. It works for me!
Good luck!

Armie Hammer is on the up and up…. but no, doesn't look like he'll end up playing Superman as many had hoped.
According to EW, the star of "The Social Network" has instead donated the next few months of his life to Clint Eastwood. He's playing Clyde Tolson, Edgar J. Hoover's number two guy at the FBI and also his secret lover, in the Leonardo Di Caprio starring biopic, simply titled "J.Edgar".
Hammer is fantastic – loved him in "Social Network", so not surprised he's taking off. And not a bad gig either – an Eastwood directed, Di Caprio starring film. A couple of years ago, you'll recall, Hammer was attached to play Batman in George Miller's "Justice League" movie. The film was canned shortly before filming was to begin. In recent weeks there's been scuttlebutt that Warners might be chasing Hammer for "Man of Steel", in which he'd play another caped wonder, Superman. Considering "J.Edgar" and "Man of Steel" will likely film around the same time, I'd say it's safe to count Hammer out of the running.
Also in talks for the film, according to Vulture, is the lovely Charlize Theron (now free as bird since "Mad Max Fury Road" has been
canceled postponed) who has been singled out to play Helen Gandy, who was a lowly file clerk at the Justice Department before she was picked to be J. Edgar Hoover's secretary.
The Dustin Lance Black ("Milk") written "J.Edgar" gets underway early next year.

Grounded vessel has been turned 40 degrees towards sea
Merchant tanker Pavit, the unmanned, adrift vessel which had grounded at the city's Juhu-Versova beach in July-end, will soon be salvaged and set to sail in the sea. Satish Agnihotri, Director General of Shipping, told The Hindu on Sunday that the salvers had successfully turned the grounded ship by 40 degrees towards the sea.
"If everything goes well, they will try to tow the ship away during high tide on Monday," he said.
The salvage company on Sunday removed the sand around the grounded vessel. "The salvage company, having mobilised the salvage equipments and expert personnel, carried out the removal of sand from around the grounded vessel and made an attempt to turn the vessel towards the sea," said a press release issued by the DG Shipping.
The tugs, which successfully turned the ship by 40 degrees towards the sea, would further resume the turning operation on Monday, provided there were favourable sea and weather conditions, authorities said. The operation may be hampered if the tide does not rise to the expected level.
The ship had sounded alarm bells concerning the coastal security of the city, which has been under the scanner since the 26/11 terror attack over two years ago. Inquiry has already been ordered into how the ship missed the security radar and landed on the city's coast without being detected by any of the security forces.
Rough weather
Meanwhile, another carrier merchant vessel Rak, which sank nearly 20 nautical miles away from the Mumbai coast a few days ago, is still a cause of concern because of oil spillage and the ensuing environmental damage. The authorities have not been able to plug the source of the spill due to rough weather.
Since the past few days, expert divers and diving support vessels of the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) have been stationed near the spot where the ship sank. Shipping officials said that there were adverse sea and swell conditions. "There was also very poor visibility at the sub-sea level," an official said.
"The operation therefore was called off. The vessel and the expert divers would make another attempt when a favourable weather window is available," a press release issued by the DG Shipping said.
