The Space
• The rooms each come with Queen sized bed, dresser, mirror, etc, and the rest of the house has a nice relaxed vibe with light and airy rooms, beautiful arched ceilings and hardwood flooring throughout.
• If you're with a larger group I also have a queen-size Aerobed, in which case the house can sleep up to 6 people comfortably (though do keep in mind that there is one bathroom only!).
• The apartment is on the ground floor of a 4 unit building with several steps leading to the front door and has thus limited wheelchair accessibility. That said, the stairs are fairly wide so if you use a wheelchair and think this would not be a problem you would be very welcome and I would be happy to assist however I can.
* I do not use cable, but do have a TV-monitor with DVD player, as well as Netflix, which can be watched on the monitor in the living room via a Wii-player - I also have some Wii games and Guitar Hero... :D
In short::
• 2 bedroom/1 bath house.
• Sleeps up to 6
• $300 security deposit.
• Over 30'ers generally preferred, but will consider younger guests (parents with children are always welcome).
• Non smoking house.
• No shoe house (keeps the lovely wood floors lovely!)
• One off street parking space + free street parking.
• Hi-speed wireless internet.
• Free Netflix
• Washer and drying line.
• Safe neighborhood, nice neighbors.
• Will consider 1 or 2 dog/s with extra cleaning fee ($8 per day, per dog).
• No charge for children under 3 years old.
Living room; 700 sq.ft.
Kitchen; 60 sq.ft.
Bathroom; 40 sq.ft.
Bedroom 1; 110 sq.ft.
Bedroom 2; 120 sq.ft.
Regarding pets/pet allergies: Whereas there are no pets living here now, because I've had 1 or 2 guests staying here with a dog, I've aired on the side of caution and put 'Yes, cats/dog live here'. *** That said, the house has all hard floors, so If you're allergies are not too severe and you think that it would be enough to prevent discomfort, for an extra fee of $45 I would be happy to remove all area rugs and cover the sofa with a clean pet-free cover, and remove all sofa all cushions, and as well have my cleaner double vacuum & mop, etc for you. If you think that this would work for you, or if you have other suggestions that may help, please be sure to let me know and I will be glad to do what I can.
Guest Access
• Price includes use of all pots, pans, dishes, juicer, espresso machine, linens, towels, bedding, Hi-Speed Internet, Wii-player, Netflix, etc., as well as one off-street parking space.
* There's also a washing machine and an eco-friendly solar powered drying system!*
*...that's a good old-fashioned drying-line, which, in average California weather usually dries clothes in 20-40 minutes.
Interaction with Guests
I will always try to meet with you at the apartment when you arrive, whenever possible, but please also keep in mind that next to renting my place out, I also work full-time, and also must travel a lot for my work. It is for this reasons that I am able to rent out my home in the first place.
In the event that I cannot meet with you, I will have my cleaner put keys in an outside key-bow for you, so that you will be able to let yourself into the apartment. I will then also try to call you within a couple of hours of your arrival, to be sure that you were able to get in and find everything alright.
I am also almost always available to receive a call, if you have any questions of problems.
The Neighborhood
Wikipedia description: 'Victor Heights, nicknamed "Forgotten Edge" by long time residents, is an eclectic and hilly neighborhood in the city of Los Angeles making up the most eastern section of Echo Park, a neighborhood located just northwest of Downtown Los Angeles. It is situated north of Sunset Blvd., northeast of Angelino Heights and conveniently west of the 110 freeway by Chinatown. The neighborhood considers Elysian Park its backyard as it lies adjacent to and is literally a stones throw due south of the park. It is a mix of new and old housing styles as well as residents who span the socioeconomic and ethnic spectrum. Unknown to most Angelinos but a well kept secret by some, the hillside commands sweeping views of Los Angeles and the Downtown skyline. Some residents have southeast views all the way to Long Beach, a glimpse of the Pacific Ocean towards the west, or a span of the Hollywood Hills.
Getting Around
From here you can drive, bike, bus, tram or even walk to Downtown LA and Little Tokyo to the South, or to eclectic Echo Park & Silverlake to the West, while Chinatown is just a short walk to the East, and the gorgeously green Elysian Park(LA's second largest park) is just behind our place to the North. Super centrally located thus, we're just three blocks to the Metro Yellow line and a mile from Union Station(where you can get the 'Fly-Away' to/from LAX). If you're with car I'm also just a short drive to 4 major freeways [though none near enough to hear traffic! ;]
BY CAR: the rental includes one reserved parking space, and is easily accessible to several freeways (101, 5, 2 and 110)
BY FOOT: (easier than you may think),the apartment is about a 10 minute walk to Sunset Blvd, where there are several buses that will connect you to greater Los Angeles, including nearby Silverlake, Chinatown, Downtown, Little Tokyo and Hollywood, as well as to Union Station, LAX and all other points west.
****** That said, please note that the apartment is near to the top of a rather steep hill, so whereas this provides sweeping views of the city, this may not be walkable for all guests.******
Other Things to Note
* PLEASE BE SURE TO READ OVER MY PROFILE, LOCATION, AMENITIES AND HOUSE RULES SECTIONS...and *PLEASE*PLEASE*PLEASE do contact me *PRIOR* to making a reservation request! ...sorry for typing so loudly but many of these points seem to often be overlooked and I then get all sorts of questions that are already listed here :?
The apartment is just up from Sunset Blvd, so whereas it's at a *perfect* location to explore this great neighborhood from...even by foot, this also means that it may not always be the quietest neighborhood. So please do bare in mind that paired with the beautiful views of downtown LA…
• You may hear helicopters circling at times.
• You may hear sirens on Sunset Blvd
• Dodger Stadium visitors - driving around searching for free parking, and/or celebrating or cursing a game just seen.
• Peacocks & peahens! Yep…this is one of the only area in LA that boosts these beautiful ~ but sometimes very noisy ~ birds as it's neighbors!
The listed price can vary for different months to reflect high and low seasons, holidays, etc. So as well as checking the present rate, please check to see what the price would be for the period that you are looking, as this could be more or less than what is listed above. To do this, type in your dates in the 'Book it!' box on the first page of my listing(you will not have to book at this point).
Please note that I *ONLY ACCEPT RESERVATIONS FROM GUESTS WITH A *CLEAR* PROFILE PICTURE *OF THEMSELVES*. This means *OF YOU*...not your baby, not your dog, not a sunset taken on your last holiday....you.
Please understand that I would like to see a picture of the person that may be renting my place. I also strongly encourage you to look over my profile and pictures as well. :)
Please feel free to message me for any additional information.
• No shoes in apartment - to keep the lovely wood floors lovely!
• No smoking anywhere in apartment.*
*Smoking on the front is porch okay, as long as front screen door is kept closed, ashtray is emptied after use, and no smoke is being drawn into next door neighbor's apartment.
• I will consider 1 or 2 smallish dogs with an extra cleaning fee of $8 per day, per pet. This fee is used solely for the extra time that it takes to have floors double swept and mopped so that the apartment may still be rent-able to guests with allergies. That said, this does *not* cover any stains, chew or scratch damage, or excessive hair on sofas, rugs, beds, etc., which if left behind will be deducted from the security deposit. Sorry to have to be so strict about this...it's just that I've found that this often costs a lot of extra time and to get cleaned!
• $10 lost key fee, per key.
• It is not necessary to strip beds or wash linens before leaving, but guests *are* required to leave all dishes & other used kitchen wares, washed, dried and put away. Unwashed dishes will result in a $25 deduction to the security deposit.
• All trash must be removed and placed in the containers at the back of the building. Black containers are for regular trash, and blue containers are for recycle (glass; paper; aluminum; plastic). Please do not use the green containers, as these are reserved for garden waste only. and remove any/all trash. Any left trash with also result in a $25 deduction to the security deposit.
• Please note that Southern California is experiencing it's ***worst drought since 1200 years*** and that Los Angeles is expected to run out of it's water reserves by 2016!!! So *please* be careful with your water use, by;
• Limiting showers to 5 to 8 minutes
• Using dishwasher or dish pan(under sink) to hand wash and rinse, rather than leaving the tap open when washing dishes.
• Filling bathroom sink to shave, rather than running tap.
• Never run tap water to brush teeth, but just turn on to rinse as needed.
Thanks for your understanding :)

Alicia is a very gracious host. Her home is located very close to Echo Park and Silver Lake desirable areas. The home is also close to downtown LA and other attractions. The bedrooms are comfortable and great for our family of 2 adult couples. The bathroom facilities is ok for basic necessities. Whenever we had a question or request Alicia responded promptly with a solution.
When we arrived at Alicia's Airbnb apartment for the first time we came in through back door and as I walked through the apartment I was quite surprised by how spacious and roomy it was (and also spotless). Each room was on the large side and there was lots of natural light. The rooms were decorated with unique collectables which I appreciated. Then to get a quick sense of the neighborhood I walked out the front door, past a small, but comfortable front porch, and down the block. At either end of the block there was a spectacular view of city as I looked down the side streets. Alicia was a perfect host. She was friendly, very willing to share her knowledge of her neighborhood and of LA, and easily available if any issues arose. When illness caused us a problem with checkout time Alicia bent over backwards to help us work it out. We would definitely chose this place to stay again.
Alicia was a great host and the apartment very spacious! We greatly enjoyed our time in LA and will recommend this apartment to friends.
The apartment was lovely and hosts very accomodating!! Thank you for a nice experience
Very nice girl, very nice accomodation.
On top of Figueroa Street, Figueroa Terrace is a nice place to stay because you havve Los Angeles in front of you, just the stadium down on the back, you on top of everything.
Nice, clean and spacious apartment.
The private car park is a plus.
The apartment is nice and as it appears in the pictures. The neighborhood is relatively quiet, but be aware that it is a bit of a walk to get out of the residential area. I did walk to downtown everyday with no problem (if you do this, just be ready for the hill). Overall, it was a good place to stay.
Alicia was great! We booked her place very last minute and she was super fast to respond! The house is conveniently located and we loved that there was a designated parking place. It had everything we needed!
Thanks Alicia!

AZ - Sticks and Stones Riding up Bull Road (Trail 202)

Awesome RR and pics/video Yardstick!!!
The last time I rode up 202, I had just gotten back into riding after a long hiatus and was on a much heavier bike. It was a tough trail, but nothing like what we encountered Sat. The wash was severely eroded and had all these spears of branches that ripped and tore anything they caught. One ripped my bite piece off my hydration pack. A small stick worked as a stopper. Yardstick caught several. One of which came too close to his carotid artery for my comfort zone. At the sight of that I checked to make sure my SPOT was working!!
After fighting through the wash for hrs we finally started to climb the trail out. We were both pretty beat at this point and time and water started to become an issue. When we reached the road at the top we had covered 17 miles in 5.5 hrs. About three of that was on smooth road getting to the 202. I think that is a new low record for our exploration rides!
I'll add some my pics tonight.

US group gives helping 'paw' to displaced pets
More News from Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — After a fire broke out at Dorothy Phillips' apartment in Philadelphia, the Red Cross gave her a temporary place to stay. Unfortunately, the shelter would not accept her beloved dog, Max.
Who would care for him while she looked for a new home?
"As far as I'm concerned, he's one of my grandbabies," Phillips said.
Max is now being boarded in a kennel in a Philadelphia suburb thanks to Red Paw, an animal rescue group that has a unique partnership with the southeastern Pennsylvania chapter of the American Red Cross.
While Red Cross workers tend to human victims of residential disasters like fires, floods or building collapses, Red Paw takes care of their animals.
The nearly 2-year-old Philadelphia-area agency uses a network of volunteers, foster homes and other animal welfare groups to care for pets whose owners are struggling to rebuild their lives. Help includes veterinary care, pet supplies and temporary boarding — all free of charge.
"We don't want to see anyone lose their pet because of something completely out of their control," Red Paw founder Jen Leary said.
Leary started the nonprofit after seeing the heartbreak and confusion of too many pet owners during her work as a city firefighter and Red Cross volunteer. Red Paw then teamed up with the local Red Cross about 18 months ago.
Before Red Paw, the Red Cross had no uniform approach to handling displaced animals — each case depended on the location of the disaster and the available responders, Red Cross spokesman Dave Schrader said.
Red Paw is now the go-to group whenever Red Cross clients need help with their animals. It's a model that Leary hopes to replicate in other states.
Schrader called Red Paw "invaluable" in helping victims cope with catastrophes.
"Knowing that their pets will be cared for certainly reduces the trauma," he said.
According to Leary, Red Paw responded to 164 disasters last year in Philadelphia and four surrounding counties, helping nearly 300 animals — including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, ferrets and a snake. The group relies entirely on donations.
Red Paw volunteer Kat Nania recalled going out one snowy night in January after a fire had destroyed a house in southwest Philadelphia. A cat was missing, and its owner said the feline had just birthed a litter of kittens.
Nania feared the worst when she entered the ruins of the house — its ceiling fallen in, broken glass everywhere, the interior staircase more like a hill than steps. But there, hiding behind a mirror, was a still-pregnant Tabitha.
"She was just so frightened, she let me scoop her up and put her in the carrier," Nania said. "When I felt her pregnant belly, I was just like, 'Yes!'"
Tabitha gave birth within a day of the rescue. But she and her kittens need a permanent home now; their owner could no longer care for them and surrendered the animals to Red Paw to put up for adoption.
"The goal is always to reunite people with their pets," Leary said. "But sometimes after losing everything they had, it's hard to do that."
Red Paw aims for reunification within a month, but Leary conceded it can take much longer. The agency was able to reunite 86 families with their pets last year; an additional three dozen animals were surrendered and re-adopted.
Max, the German shepherd-pit bull mix owned by Phillips, remains in the group's care while Phillips looks for a new home. She isn't sure when she'll have one, but she calls constantly to check on her dog.
In Philadelphia, the city's animal control organization will also respond to animals left homeless by disasters, executive director Susan Cosby said. But Red Paw's capacity for crisis response is valuable because it eases the burden on her agency, which deals with more than 32,000 stray and surrendered animals per year.
"They're able to work in a far more specialized way with the animals and families that they're helping," Cosby said, later adding: "We can't do it alone. There's just too much work to be done."

Barack Obama's momentous step into the White House on Tuesday reverberated at workplaces across the Denver metro area, as employees set aside their daily chores, if only for a few moments, to witness history.
Happiness and excitement swept through Martin Wingo, who gathered with about 150 co-workers in the cafeteria at Level 3 Communications' Broomfield headquarters to watch the nation's first African-American president take the oath of office.
"It means a lot to me," said Wingo, a support technician. "I'm 40 years old, and I never thought it would happen."
Level 3, a key financial supporter of last year's Democratic National Convention in Denver, broadcast inauguration festivities on a giant projection screen in the lunchroom.

"It was a historic moment that I did not want to miss seeing it live," said Jennifer Cmil, a Level 3 human-resources vice president. "It was definitely emotional for me."
Level 3 workers highlighted improving the economy and ending the war in Iraq as the top issues they hope Obama will address early.
Across town, even though it's a busy time of year for accountants, the seven employees of Greenwood Village-based Schmidt & Associates crowded around their 14-inch TV to watch Obama's swearing-in.
"We have a little TV in our office to watch the NCAA basketball tournament every March," said accountant Dan Rice.
It came in handy Tuesday.
"We watched Obama and ate pretzel sticks," Rice said.
Western Union and TIAA-CREF provided television coverage in conference and break rooms for their employees in Denver. In Westminster, Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association's workers watched the event in a conference room.
"Just as we do for major sporting events, we typically make a conference room available to Tri-State employees to view these once-in-a-lifetime happenings," said Tri-State spokeswoman Karli Nelson.
Workers in high-rise offices in downtown Denver swarmed the main floors to watch TVs in the lobby. Some of those who didn't leave their desks watched on their computers.
Staff writers Steve Raabe, Miles Moffeit, Aldo Svaldi and David
Migoya contributed to this report.

Megan Fox Takes Victoria Beckham's Place as Underwear and Jeans Model for Armani
Megan Fox — Armani Underwear and Jeans Muse
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
Right after it was revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo is taking over David Beckham's Emporio Armani underwear modeling contract, we get more exciting news: 23-year-old hottie Megan Fox — here, sitting front row at Giorgio Armani's Couture show — is set to be the new face, er body, for Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans. She's taking over from Victoria Beckham. But unlike David and Victoria, Cristiano and Megan won't be appearing together. Darn! Starting January, you can see Megan's billboards and print ads, which were shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott in LA. Thoughts?

1. Without Pena he'll most likely move up in the order.
2. With Dunn back in LF, he'll most likely play more games at 3b as I have a hunch Aurilia will see some time at 1b. (I believe Rich's offense is better than Hatteberg's and his liability on D will be less at 1b).
In a strange way, Ed E's terrific spring may have made this trade viable. Anyone else see this?

Hello, I'm thinking about buying a laptop for college but I also want to be able to play games like Gw2, etc on the laptop as well. My budget is $1000.00 US. However, a friend of mine told me it is better to buy a laptop solely for college and spend the rest on the desktop for gaming. But I'm not sure if that will over my budget or not. As it will cost about 400-500 to get a laptop and that means I only have 500 for the desktop?
Any help is appreicated. Thank you,

You can go a couple of ways here.
1. laptop and desktop. - lesser on both ends
2. Desktop only - Good quality, best bang for the buck if you do it yourself.
3. Laptop only - A growing option for many people these days but a bit more pricey.
I would say to spend your money where it matters most, graphics card (and memory if possible), processor, and memory (don't need to overdo it here). There are certainly other things that are important but I think if these are the things that will make the most difference for a gaming computer. If you get a laptop make sure you get a dedicated graphics card, it goes without saying for a desktop too.
Personally I would put all the 1000 into a laptop. You hsould be able to get a decent gaming laptop for that price.
look around but this one is good and right around your pricerange
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152349 or this one not as good but even closer to the price you are looking http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152339
the new 600M series should have no issues playing GW2 at high settings

If you definately need a system that you can be mobile with then just get a decent gaming laptop. if you don't really need the mobility stick with a desktop and forget the laptop, you get much more bang for your buck with a desktop. With a $1000 budget, getting both would be a bad idea, you'll just end up with two average system instead of one above average system.
Simply put, for gaming, a $1000 laptop will be better than a $500 desktop. A $1000 desktop will be better than a $1000 laptop.

Laptops are very very expensive for gaming performance in comparison to desktops. On top of that, many laptops designed to play games have abysmal battery life and aren't exactly light and easy to carry from class to class.
Your best bet is to list what you need/want.
If you go for laptop only, what do you need the laptop for?
Can you do desktop only?
If you go with a combination, what do you need the laptop capable of? If all you need is a laptop to take notes in class, you can go cheaper than 400.
Also, what kind of graphic settings are you looking to acheive? Do you want it playable and don't care about much else?
The best option is to have a laptop for school and desktop for gaming if you want to crank the most out of your budget. This will allow for some upgrades when the budget expands. With a laptop, you're pretty much stuck with what you buy until you replace it.

Thank you all for the replies. I use my laptop for basic college work such as microsoft office, video/web surfing, listening to music. I'm planning to play Gw 2 at a optimal setting (medium?) on my computer when it comes out.

I usually build my own computers but my nephew who lives in another state asked me for help. I could build him one fairly cheap and ship it to him but then if anything goes wrong I would feel obligated to fix it for him. My solution was bestbuy of all places. Bestbuy was the only place they lived close to with a fairly decent set of computers. I looked and the best one for the money I could find was this. I know three are better ones out there, but if you want something fairly inexpensive this might be what you are looking for.
edit: well I didn't read your full post I guess! I read desktop and that stuck in my head! :(
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

You can get a little netbook for cheap that should do fine for college purposes...But that'd still leave you with a kinda subpar Desktop. Just get the uber Laptop, and maybe an extra battery for it! GW2 promises to make you forget about your battery life and send you to a black screen :D

$1000 is really the wrong budget for a laptop right now. For the latest generation parts, the high end ($1600+) is already out, and enough of the low end (under $700) is out that you at least have some decent options. But the handful of options in between tend to cost a lot more than I think is justified by the hardware. I think a laptop with an A8-4500M and a Radeon HD 7870M would be perfect for you, and probably fit your budget, too. And it's probably coming, but isn't out yet.
The simplest question is whether you actually need a laptop at all. If you're going to use it in your dorm room but not going to take it with you various places, then get a desktop and skip the laptop. Some people seem to have ideas about taking notes on a laptop in class, but most professors will assume (usually correctly) that if you have a laptop out, it means you're not paying attention.
If you already have peripherals from an old desktop that you could reuse (monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, surge protector), then the laptop+desktop combination makes some sense. You can start with a cheap laptop:
And then that leaves $650 for a desktop, which is plenty enough to get you something that will dramatically outperform any laptop you could hope to find under $1000. Or at least, it is if you can assemble the desktop yourself rather than having to basically use up ~$100 of that budget to pay someone else to plug things in for you.

I would suggest Quiz's advice but with a twist. Check craigslist (or another site if you prefer) for a CHEAP laptop. The fact is "throw away" laptops are available in droves on craigslist because every year new students start/graduate college. Typically the laptop only needs to run very basic programming which means finding a used laptop for a few hundred bucks or less is easy.
Every dollar you save on something you only need for notes/videos/music helps you to increase the power of your desktop. Just be sure to wipe the drives and do a "clean" install of the OS just in case (don't wipe it before you have a proper boot/install disk made).

Harry Summers - After winning the IBO World Featherweight title last Friday night with a vicious 8th round knockout of Mexican Heriberto Ruiz, Action Jackson Asiku wants to fight the Cuban cyclone Yuriorkis Gamboa.
I have finally got my belt, I knew it would come but I will not stop there, I want more belts I want the WBA belt and I think Gamboa and myself will produce one of the greatest bouts you would ever see. Someone would go down in an explosive brutal contest, the fans would love it and I will have two belts." - Asiku
Asiku was full of confidence; he also said he would defend his title in Uganda until he can get a unification bout, with Gamboa being his first choice.
When asked about WBA Featherweight Super Champion Chris John he said he could not fight him because they have the same trainer and manager but it would be good if I got two belts and Chris John had two. Chris John helped me to be the champion that I am today and if we keep on helping each other we will never be beaten.
I agree with Asiku on one thing Asiku v Gamboa would be a great fight but I think the Cuban would be the last man standing. Asku plans on visiting Uganda and defending his title in February in Uganda.
Espinoza comments about Vazquez-Marquez rumors
Much has been written lately regarding Israel Vazquezs future as rumors swirl around the internet and on print papers in Mexico. Vazquezs manager Frank Espinoza sat down and answered a few questions regarding his fighter in order to set the record straight:
Q. What was your opinion of Israels last performance against Angel Priollo?
A. It was a tough fight against a tough fighter who walked into the ring in the best shape of his life. Priollo had his moments but Israel pulled out the win in exciting fashion. All his fights are exciting. He doesnt know how to be in a boring fight.
Q. How did Israels eye hold up?
A. I took Israel to the doctor to make sure there were no complications to the operation he underwent to fix a detached retina. His check up revealed that hes doing fine and hes now back in the gym.
Q. Israel is involved in a lot of exciting but very physically demanding fights. Is it difficult to see him go through so much in the ring?
A. Israels a personal friend of mine so yes it can be hard to watch him fight but thats just the way he fights. Hes an old school, blood and guts warrior like Jake Lamotta. He gives you everything hes got inside the ring and those are the type of fighters that people love to watch.
Q. Who will Israel fight next?
A. We were looking to fight Rafael Marquez but he has some promotional issues to deal with so were looking at several other people and having a few meetings and hopefully theyll be productive.
Q. Who are some of the opponents youre considering?
A. Well theres Juan Manuel Lopez and theres a real possibility that well take on Elio Rojas for the WBC featherweight title. Its always been Israels dream to win three world titles and that fight would put him on the road towards that goal.
Q. There was a statement made that Showtime offered up a multi million offer that was rejected by both Israel and Rafael Marquez? Is that true?
A. Ive heard that claim. I understand that offer took place in 2008 and I wasnt at that meeting. Whether there was an offer or not, its a moot point since Israel had a detached retina and wasnt in medical condition to fight. He was injured. Why would Israel get in the ring against a puncher like Marquez with a detached retina?
Q. Is Sycuan Ringside Promotions still involved with Israel Vazquez?
A. No. Sycuan Ringside is no longer involved with Israels career. We fulfilled our promotional contract with them and theyre no longer in the mix.
Q. When will we know for sure what Israels next move will be?
A. Well know in a few weeks. We have a couple of meetings and we have several people to talk to. The final word will come from Israel and myself. Anything else are rumors.
Thank you for your time.
F.E. Thank you.

Chen is very condescending and distant. She never calls the parent by name, refers to the adults as mom or dad. In fact, the entire office practices this very unprofessional habit. She isn't patient, and doesn't handle when the parents area as educated as she is. It takes months to schedule an appointment if your child is well. She never folows up. Spare yourself the agony and find another office for your children.
I feel Dr. Chen treats me (Dad) differently than my wife (mom). I feel that I am not taken as serious as mom and feel like she talks down to me, like I'm beneath her. She miss diagnosed my son when I took him in without the wife. The issue worsened and wasn't diagnosed correctly until we went back almost a week later. Dr. Chen said I had not told her the correct symptoms. I asked to see the chart from last visit and she couldn't or wouldn't show it to us. I can tell you I explained the situation just as my wife had, We love CHKD, but we will no longer be seeing Dr. Chen.
One thing we love about Dr. Chen is the fact that she has a very calming personality. She is very respectful of the feelings of both the parents and her patients. My kids have been seeing her for over 13 years and we would not change pediatricians for the world.
Amazing anything like this could even happen now a days. Dr. Chen engaged in a secret medical trial behind the back of a father that had legal medical rights to make decisions in a child's health care. She made a diagnosis with out having all the facts in the case. This went on for 7 months with mom. As you may tell we are divorced and she took the side of mom over any thoughts of dad. And continue a treatment that benefits mom and not benefiting the child
Great bedside manner. My child is comfortable with her. She is patient, listens to all of your concerns and address them in a way you can understand.

Sailing alone??
In my quest to become a sailor, I've stumbled onto a strange paradox. I have battled with myself (and spouse) in trying to find the right sized boat. I now realize that this idea of sailing has become a personal ambition not equally shared. While she has agreed that this will be fun, I understand what she is saying is that she will come along but don't expect her to be the crew. To be fair, I do know she does enjoy the ride and will be there, just not as a crew. That brings me back as a beginning sailor to a BIG dilemma of just how big (or small) a boat should I get. Can a beginner handle a 22'r by himself? Will a 15' dinghy be too small? My question is this: how many of you sail alone... that is, without a crew? I don't mean alone as in there is no one else aboard, just that they are along for the ride.

The Hotel Luzern
Sempacherstrasse 14, Luzern, Switzerland
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
"The Hotel" may seem a bit audacious as a name; but in Lucerne, there's really nothing else like it. This is a design-oriented boutique, through and through, designed by the French architect Jean Nouvel around a simple organizing concept: each room's ceiling is decorated with an enlargement of a film still, as if projected from above. Subject matter leans toward the slightly racy—selections include Last Tango in Paris and The Pillow Book, among other European art-house classics.
The Hotel's studios and suites (no mere singles or doubles here) are stylish, if rather dark and masculine, in a palette of rich, earthy colors, with attractive custom-designed wood and steel furnishings. Teakwood floors and theatrical lighting add to the chic look, and whimsical touches like the Bamboo Suite's outdoor jungle patio add a helping of humor.
Traditionalists may be skeptical of the low-lit boudoir look, as well as the Bam Bou Asian-fusion restaurant, but there are plenty of places in Lucerne for the chocolate-dipped Swiss chalet experience. Interior design fanatics, however, will feel right at home—The Hotel may well be their entry point to a city they might otherwise have neglected.

In Tampa, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has Gwazi, the ultimate in wooden roller coasters. Gwazi has two separate tracks on its massive wooden frame, making it the largest dueling coaster in the Southeast. The ominous click, click, click sound of the car passing over the wooden planks as it crawls 90 feet to the first drop will make you clutch my lap bar before you careen downward at over 50 mph. The lack of shoulder restraints (because there is a lap bar) make you feel that if you lose your balance and leaned forward, you would tumble out.
Busch Gardens also has the Montu, an inverted coaster that whips around a 60-foot-vertical loop and pulls nearly 4 Gs. Unlike in most coasters, the best seat is in the back. Because of the way the car takes turns, if you sit in the left corner of the last row this coaster seems to snap your spine into alignment.
On SheiKra, you'll feel like you're falling from the sky. This floorless dive coaster climbs 200 feet to the edge of a pure 90-degree drop, where you'll wait peering over the edge as the coaster stops, just before the fall. You won't have to wait long, though, to dive straight down at speeds of up to 70 mph, then go barreling through breathtaking features including an Immelmann loop, a second dive into an underground tunnel and a splashdown finale that drenches SheiKra fans waiting to catch their own piece of the fun.
A more recent addition is the groundbreaking Cheetah Hunt. It takes riders through breathtaking plunges and a trio of launches at speeds pushing 60 mph.

Washington-state tanners strut down immaculate hallways dotted with framed original paintings and contemporary artwork before settling into private rooms where they may acquire their desired shade while enjoying the sounds of their own music or prerecorded subliminal messages piped in through the iPod dock perched near each bed. The Smart Tan?certified staff guides clients in selecting which of the five levels of UV bed best fits their tanning needs and whether they desire a short tan time, prefer to stand up or lie down, or wish to bask beneath high-pressure face lamps. Shop shelves offer home tanners quality products from Australian Gold and Swedish Beauty, whereas spray-tanning options from VersaSpa and SunFX both impart a natural-looking faux glow that takes mere minutes to apply and lasts for days.20804 Bothell Everett HwyBothell, WA US
Amai Day SpaRead MoreAmai Day Spa's staff specializes in a dizzying variety of aesthetic services, allowing clients to slip into a fuzzy robe and pad from technologically enhanced facial treatments to ancient reflexology sessions to precise henna-tattoo applications in a matter of minutes.

AMG signs agreement with Norbain for its series of ethernet switches
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 28 February 2014 Release date- 27022014 - AMG, the British manufacturer of CCTV transmission solutions and sophisticated 5 Megapixel cameras, has entered an agreement with Norbain SD Ltd.
The agreement will see AMG's Wonderbox - a series of ruggedised Ethernet switches launched in 2013, integrated into Norbain's product range and marketed to all major Systems Integrators in the UK.
Andrew Pigram, Technical Director of Norbain, says, 'We have a long standing relationship, over many years, with AMG Systems. Their technology has been - and still is - very innovative. They aim to facilitate better usage of the infrastructure and, although AMG's world could be considered very specialist, they have expert knowhow within the sectors they work with and they're extremely good at supporting large complex systems. Their products are very easy to install and work with. A key point is that their training is very good, as is their pre-sales support, which is very valuable when we embark on new projects. With the 'Wonderbox' AMG has delivered a solution which allows complex installations to move into the IP world, whilst retaining their existing infrastructure. We welcome the product into our portfolio and I am convinced that our customers will appreciate the value they can get from implementing it. As a result, I expect that Norbain will have an increased sale of AMG products in 2014-2015.' Sara Bullock, Sales & Marketing Director of AMG Group, says, 'We are delighted with Norbain's decision to incorporate the Wonderbox range into their existing product portfolio. The Wonderbox is AMG's combination of Analogue and IP systems, supporting easy integration of low-speed serial data channels and alarm contacts, alongside analogue and IP video, onto an Ethernet backbone. AMG's ability to develop products in close response to both customer and market needs has underpinned the company's success over 20+ years, and this is reflected in the Wonderbox. Its introduction into Norbain's product range will ensure that AMG's foothold here in the UK, the epicentre of the industry, will be strengthened. With Norbain's wide reach into the Systems Integrator community we are expecting to see an increase in demand for this revolutionary product series.' (c) 2014 Electronic News Publishing -

Just an update. I emailed the ICP. (I hate typing that. Reminds me of a certain musical group...) I'll keep everyone here posted when they return my mail.
I suggested first of all that they start another printing. Failing that, an electronic version offered by them. Failing that, allowing me to offer (For Free! Again, I have no desire to take anyone's money for this) an electronic version.
I'll let you guys know what they say when/if they contact me. If they don't email me, I'll call and/or write by snail mail.

Five years after Led Zeppelin's historic reunion in London, the concert film and album "Celebration Day" lands in stores today. I had the privelege to speak with the film's director Dick Carruthers, a fascinating gentleman, who's enthusiasm for the project is obvious. And why not?, he's directed what very well could be one of the greatest concert films of all time. Check it out!

There's more to cards than just fun. If you have played UNO, you will soon realise that it is not the same as any other card game. If you pick up the nuances and tricks it will sure help you win.
Those familiar with the card game UNO will know that it is not just fun but requires you to think as well. But did you know that the game has also spawned a championship with nine Asian countries participating?
Luck and skill
P. Raghav Reddy, a Std VIII student at Narayana E-Techno School, Hyderabad, will represent India in the finals of the UNO Asia Championship to be held in Japan. He will compete with finalists from six participating countries. Begun in 2006, the tournament is usually held among Japanese elementary and junior high school children. This year it has been scaled up by Mattel, the makers of UNO, to include six Asian countries.
"This is my first trip abroad," says an excited Raghav who will be travelling with his parents to Japan. At the National round held in Mumbai, he played against 10 players from all over the country and across age groups — 7 to 15 years to be precise. The players had been shortlisted from the thousands who participated in the respective regional rounds. "It was tough as there were experts from many states. One of the people I met in the final rounds was a Std IV student."
Raghav has been playing the game since he was seven years old. According to him, the game involves 40 per cent luck and 60 per cent skill. "In preparation for the championship I have been playing with my sister for about 45 minutes every day. By playing often, I was able to come up with some interesting tricks that I use in my game," says Raghav.
Besides obviously wanting to win the Asian Championship, the avid UNO player is also looking forward to doing some sight-seeing and buying souvenirs.
Uno (from Italian and Spanish for 'one') is an American card game which is played with a specially printed deck.

Comments about BILLABONG TIDAL SWELL CAMI:
I usually always wear Mediums--not super skinny, but not large either. I bought this top in a Medium and it's HUGE. It literally looks like a mumu...and not the flattering kind. I love flowy fit tanks, but this was just too much. I'm not sure if a small would look much better, as it seems like that was just the fit of the top. I'm returning, and wish that it was a little more form-fitting because the material/design is SO cute.

|University of Missouri--Columbia
|The task of this study was to develop a multifunctional ice cream which can deliver multiple functional ingredients to consumers. A descriptive sensory analysis was carried out to investigate the effect of adding varying levels of dietary fiber (0%, 5%, 10% and 15%) to a multifunctional ice cream that contained fixed levels of antioxidants (12% of aҫai), prebiotics (4%) and probiotics (108 cfu/ mL) on sensory properties. The results showed that an increase in dietary fiber contents significantly increased the perceptions of gooeyness, gumminess, creaminess, mouth coating, sweetness, sweetness aftertaste, and wood flavor aftertaste, but decreased the perceptions of hardness and iciness. Based on a texture analysis, dietary fiber increased the overrun and viscosity, but decreased the melting rate of ice creams. The antioxidant capacities and flavor profiles of aҫai puree and multifunctional ice creams were also determined. Moreover, consumers' degree of liking for multifunctional ice creams was measured by a hedonic sensory study. The results indicated that consumers preferred 0% and 5% dietary fiber containing multifunctional ice creams. Even though ice cream containing 5% dietary fiber showed some differences to the control ice cream in the descriptive and instrumental analyses, there was no significant difference in consumers' preference. Therefore, an ice cream containing 5% of dietary fiber, 4% of prebiotic, 108 cfu/ mL of probiotic and 12% of aҫai can be considered an ideal formulation for a multifunctional ice cream.

Amphora Research are please to announce that Maastricht based forensics lab DNalysis have successfully rolled out PatentSafe, protecting their forensic results and allowing their scientists to collate all their data efficently in one secure electronic repository.
Bracknell, UK (PRWEB) Feburary 10, 2010 -- Amphora Research Systems is pleased to announce that DNalysis have implemented PatentSafe to safeguard their forensic results. DNalysis Maastricht is an independent laboratory in the Netherlands that provides comparative DNA analysis for kinship testing and forensic investigation. Being part of The Maastricht Forensic Institute, DNalysis Maastricht interacts with chemists and physicists at DSM, as well as with scientists at the Maastricht University, thereby providing a multidisciplinary approach for evaluation of forensic evidence.
Setting up this first of a kind service they knew that efficient recording, tracking and reporting the findings of their investigations would play an important role in the business. It was also key that what ever system was implemented should be flexible and easy to use.
DNalysis COO Paul van Bilsen said "Starting up an independent company we wanted to get things set up properly from the start. Our analyses can often form part of a legal proceeding, so it was important to us that we could sign the results of the investigations electronically as we go." Van Bilsen added, "With a large number of samples from different cases passing through our labs it is a real help to be able to search the notebook and pull up everything on a particular sample or case number".
Jo Worthington, Director of Customer Relations at Amphora said, "Forensic science is another example of a field that can gain clear benefits from electronic working and yet cannot be forced into the rigid structure of electronic notebooks with a chemistry pedig

A Year to Cheer
There's not a parent in the world who hasn't been struck with awe by how quickly developmental milestones occur during a child's second year -- and who hasn't occasionally wished that they'd slow down just a little. "Within this amazing year, the baby who was dependent on you for everything evolves into an independent little person," says Craig Ramey, Ph.D., coauthor of Right From Birth: Building Your Child's Foundation for Life (Goddard Press, 1999).
Yet even as we marvel at our child's accomplishments, we're also constantly checking out other babies. Indeed, there's often a terrified part of us that fears our own child is lagging behind. "Parents are often puzzled, and concerned, by the huge developmental differences among children of the same age," says Dr. Ramey. At 15 months, whereas one child could be tearing around the playground, another could be taking her first wobbly steps. The good news is that both scenarios are perfectly normal.
"Much of this variability is physiological," says Dr. Ramey. "Before you can walk, for instance, your coordination, leg muscles, and sense of balance all have to develop. For each child, these body parts -- including the brain -- grow at their own unique rate."
The majority of parents, then, need not fret. "Fifty to 75 percent of children hit their milestones between 1 and 2," Dr. Ramey notes, "so don't worry if your child isn't precisely on time." Here are the basic breakthroughs you can expect -- and celebrate -- during this developmental boom year.
