I love the apartment very much. It is exactly as described. Darius and his wife were very responsive to our inquiry. Parking wasn't hard to find and we appreciate the heads up they gave about the parking situation. It's walking distance to the market and peets so it's very convenient. I would recommend this apartment.
This apartment was great. Clean and Ina great location. Exactly as described. The host sent instructions prior to our stay which were clear and detailed. There was never a need to contact them as everything was perfect.
We had a great time in this apartment. It's situated in a typical San Franciscan style building. The neighborhood is well located and there are many great bars and restaurants in the proximity. Although we didn't meet the host ourselves everything was perfectly arranged upon arrival.
Very nice place and loved the location! Everything with booking the place, finding it, having instructions was smooth. The house was stocked with all necessary supplies. Maria, Darius' wife, was prompt in her reply to any questions I might have had. It was very comfortable with many amazing restaurants in walking distance.
Great apartment in a great part of SF. Central to everything you need to get to or want to see. The apartment has a certain charm to it with all of the wood and amenities.
Would definitely stay there again.
This was a perfect place for us! The apartment was clean, as described and equipped with everything to make our stay comfortable. The location is great with lists of nearby places. The hosts went out of their way to help us with what we needed- can't wait to recommend this place to friends!

I can't honestly say I'm a fuzzy-fibers aficionado. Oh, I've learned to knit and I've attempted crochet, but for some reason, I haven't been able to wrap my heart around anything but a needle and thread. But you know what? I recently put my hands on a book called The Beaded Edge by Midori Nishida, and I think I need to get over this goofy block of mine. The designs in this book, which are primarily crocheted edges and trims, are so delicious that I found myself rummaging around for my size 5 crochet hook and some thick thread. These crocheted trims are beautifully beaded, reminding me of the opulence of an Indian wedding ensemble or the embellishment on an antique bag from Pakistan. They are truly gorgeous. The projects are clearly shown with step-by-step photographs, and just about every embellishment is shown on a "real" piece of clothing or is made up as a piece of jewelry.
So yes, this is a good book. So good, in fact, that I decided to get over myself, sit down, and once again attempt bead crochet. As I mentioned, I'm not an expert at this, just a rank beginner. But maybe you are, too? If so, maybe you'd like to try this little technique I found in The Beaded Edge? It's really just the beginning of a more elaborate design, but I thought making this little loop fringe might be a good start for me:
1) String a bunch of size 8° seed beads on size FF beading thread without cutting the thread from the spool. Be sure to string them in sets of 6 for this edging.
2) Create a slip knot at the end of your thread, then use a size 5 steel crochet hook to form a chain of 6 or so slip stitches to begin the chain. To do this simple chain, yarn over your hook then pull through the loop on your hook; repeat until you have the desired length. (It helped me to use the very easy illustrations in the book to learn how to make this chain; not the cleanest chain, but I'm learning!)
3) Slide 6 of the seed beads down to the crocheted chain.
4) Form another slip stitch, tightening the thread so the seed beads form a loop.
7) Form 6 more slip stitches to prepare for your next loop. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 to the desired length.
You could sew this edge to a piece of clothing or a purse or make a long chain for tying around your wrist or neck. So pretty!
So there. I did it! Not the cleanest, but I feel like I've conquered my fear, and I'm on my way to beautiful bead crochet. Want to be inspired like I was? Check out The Beaded Edge. You'll be glad you did.
Happy beading-
Midori Nishida is a professional craft artist. Deeply moved and inspired by the "Turkish Embroideries and Oya Exhibition", she endeavored to create her own line of crafts and introduced Boncuk oya to Japan, adapting it into a more accessible form for crafters. She has continued to study and perfect the art of "beaded edgings" with CRK design, and has built a massive base of loyal fans both in and outside of Japan.
CRK design is a design firm made up of six graphic designers. Their first craft magazine design project opened the door to their career in craft making and design. Today, they do everything from designing and production to book designing.
I have taken a bead crochet class and have a friend that is great at it. I think the hardest part is just the getting started. Once you get that first step done, it's just finding your rhythm and having enough string to last the project. This technique looks pretty cool and fun for edging or a layer within a multi strand necklace…
I've been crocheting as long as I can remember but I haven't tried bead crochet since the 60's. Stringing the beads was too tedious then, and now, 40 some years later, it still is. I think bead crochet is beautiful, but requires a LOT of patience. You did good for a first try.
thank you...this so much fun...i have beads that i need to create with ..this is a perfect project!
I also did a lot of bead crochet in the 60s and still have a few necklaces and bracelets that I haven't given away. However, I used small pearls then. I think I'll try some beads this time.
I'd like to know what kind of thread/cord people use for bead crochet. I have used C-lon thread, which comes in beautiful colors, but find it creates a very fine finished product. I've tried the C-Lon cord, but I think it is too thick and usually curls if the beads don't have enough weight to them.
I love to make bead crochet bracelets. I had a hard time until I took a class at my local bead shop. I've had a lot of luck using Jean Stitch thread. It's 100 % polyester which means your bracelets won't stretch out over time and it comes in lots of color. I use it with size 8 seed beads.

Virginia School Division Amendment (2014)
|Not on Ballot
| This measure did not or
will not appear on a ballot
The Virginia School Division Amendment was not on the November 4, 2014 ballot in Virginia as a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment. The measure would have established a statewide school division to oversee charter schools if the request for a charter school is turned down by the local school board.[1]
The measure was sponsored by Delegate Greg Habeeb (R-8).
Path to the ballot
A majority vote is required in two successive sessions of the Virginia General Assembly for an amendment to be placed on the ballot. The proposed amendment was not voted on in two successive session and therefore was not placed on the 2014 ballot.

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama relented Thursday to pressure from the public and his own party and changed one of the bedrock requirements of the new health care law to fulfill his promise to allow people to keep their insurance plans if they want.
While the move was aimed at solving a problem that was threatening the president's credibility and public faith in the law, it raised a slew of new questions, including whether insurers would adjust, whether millions of customers would pay higher premiums and whether states would make it available.
The president made the change at a White House news conference that quickly turned from a specific policy announcement into a nearly hourlong deconstruction of broader flaws with the health care law and Obama's responsibility for its early failures.
The president was contrite and his admissions were many — he conceded that he was left in the dark about aspects of the chief legislative accomplishment of his presidency; he acknowledged that he and his advisers underestimated how hard it would be to sell insurance via a website; he could not guarantee that the website would work well for everyone by the end of the month; he allowed that federal government rules were an impediment; and he lamented the political problems he caused for members of his own party.
"There have been times where I thought we were … slapped around a little bit unjustly. This one's deserved, all right? It's on us," Obama said regarding the policy cancellation issue, which contradicted his repeated promises that people would be able to keep insurance plans they liked.
Obama said insurance companies could continue for another year to offer health plans sold to individuals and small businesses that do not meet requirements under the new law that set minimum standards for the benefits that policies must cover.
Hours after the president's announcement, California's insurance commissioner called on health insurance companies and the state insurance exchange to extend the deadline on individual policies through 2014.
Commissioner Dave Jones said he asked Covered California, the state health insurance exchange, to release insurers from contracts in which they agreed to terminate policies as of Dec. 31.
"It was a mistake to require that those policies be canceled," Jones said.
Lizelda Lopez, a spokeswoman for Covered California, said in an email that the agency is evaluating the new rules and the request from Jones.
"Covered California understands the urgent need for clarity around this segment of policy and is working closely with health plans, regulators, and policy makers to quickly determine how the president's new guidance will be fulfilled for Californians," she wrote.
The California Association of Health Plans said the state should stay on track with its current plan.
"Reversing course now could cause a significant disruption in the marketplace, given that rates and benefit plans for 2014 have already been set by Covered California," association President and CEO Patrick Johnson said in a written statement.
Individual policies have long been a problematic part of the insurance market, with higher prices than most group plans, lower benefits and a tendency to cut off people when they get sick. The federal health care law tried to address this problem by directing Americans who rely on individual policies to buy coverage through the new insurance marketplaces — and by defining the set of essential benefits.

Manufacturer: Hilason
Model: Treeless Western Barrel Racing Saddle
Category: Barrel Saddles
Purchase: Bought on ebay and paid $444
Likes: It looked like a nice saddle, flashy leather and fit my horse really well since it was treeless.
Dislikes: The pommel was so wide it pressed into my legs on each side. I have never sat in a saddle that had this problem. I am a petite woman and found the saddle to be ok otherwise.
Quality: I think the leather is not the best quality and Hilason is a company that is mainly known for making leather goods, not saddles. The saddle parts were not construction in a sturdy fashion. It looked like it would not last very long.
Summary: All in all, it cost me $55 in shipping to get it, $26 to return it, and a $39 restocking fee just to try out a saddle that didn't work out. I won't buy another one of these.

Also, a wide variety of potential geometries exists for crossover tiles. There have been experiments with a so-called 4 × 4 tile, where the sticky ends extend at right angles.
DNA also has the property that its length scale can bridge the gap between molecular systems and microelectronics components. If the issues of surface attachment chemistry, secondary structure, and self-assembly can be worked out, hybrid DNA-silicon nanostructures may be feasible, and a DNA-controlled field effect transistor is one possible choice for a first structure to fabricate. Some other specific near-term objectives for research in DNA self-assembly include the creation of highly regular DNA nanoparticles and the creation of programmable DNA self-assembling systems. For the cell regulatory systems and enzymatic pathways, some specific near-term objectives include the creation of sets of coupled protein-DNA interactions or genes, the simulation and emulation of kinase phosphor-relay systems, and the creation of networks of interconnecting nanostructures with unique enzyme communication paths.
To be adopted successfully as an industrial technology, however, DNA self-assembly faces challenges similar to solution-based exhaustive search DNA computing: a high error rate, the need to run new laboratory procedures for each computation, and the increasing capability of non-DNA technologies to operate at nanoscales. For example, while it is likely true that current lithography technology has limits, various improvements already demonstrated in laboratories such as extreme ultraviolet lithography, halo implants, and laser-assisted direct imprint techniques can achieve feature sizes of 10 nm, comparable to a single DNA tile. Some other targets might be the ability to fabricate biopolymers such as oligonucleotides and polypeptides as long as 10,000 bases for the creation of molecular control systems and the creation of biochemical and hybrid biomolecular-inorganic systems that can be self-assembled into larger nanoscale objects in a programmable fashion.
A hybrid system is one that is assembled from both biological and nonbiological parts. Hybrid systems have many applications, including biosensors, measurement devices, mechanisms, and prosthetic devices.
Biological sensors, or biosensors, probe the environment for specific molecules or targets through chemical, biochemical, or biological assays. Such devices consist of a biological detection element attuned to the target and a transduction mechanism to translate a detection event into a quantifiable electronic or optical signal for analysis. For example, antennae from a living silkworm moth have been used as an olfactory sensor connected to a robot.144 Such antennae are much more sensitive than artificial gas sensors, in this case to moth pheromones. A mobile robot, so equipped, has been shown to be able to follow a pheromone plume much as a male silkworm moth does. When a silkworm moth's antennae are stimulated by the presence of pheromones, the moth's nervous system activities alternate between active and inactive states in a pattern consistent with the activity pattern of neck motor neurons that guide the moth's direction of motion. In the robot, the silkworm moth's antennae are connected to an electrical interface, and a signal generated by the right (left) antenna results in a "turn right" ("turn left") command. This suggests that such signals may play an important role in controlling the pheromone-oriented zigzag walking of a silkworm moth.

Good water solution when traveling
posted 6 years ago
This was a life saver when we traveled with our cat abroad. Whenever we landed in an airport, we could just fill the cup up with water without having to locate a make-shift dish.
Pros: Easy to clean, can clip at different heights
Cons: Water will splash out when moving the cage

Worked great
posted 7 years ago
We drove down south to the beach and on the way I kept getting water from the gas stations to give to the dogs and it was kind of a pain so when we got to the beach we found a pet store and bought one of these. It made it so much better on the way back. Don't fill it too much with water or it may spill over going up or down a steep hill. It fit very securely on the crate. Glad we bought it and we will be using it again this summer. Was not expensive either.
Pros: worked great
Cons: none

Most Costly In History

Thu November 21, 2013
Oregon's Fire Season Expensive
Oregon's last fire season was the most costly in history, according to the Oregon Department of Forestry.
Department official Dan Postrel says the department spent $122 Million fighting fires that scorched more than 100,000 acres-more than 156 square miles. That is the most in 60 years.
The Oregonian reports state forester Doug Decker will report today to the Ways and Means Natural Resources Subcommittee. He will ask for $2 million in special funds, $40 million from the general fund, and authorization to obtain $134 million in federal reimbursement money.
The agency battled 1,140 fires. The 10-year average is 920.

Bishop Carroll T. Dozier was remembered yesterday as a "prophet of peace" while the Catholic Diocese of Memphis prepared to mark the death of its first bishop with four days of special services. "His contributions to racial harmony, the rights of the oppressed and his opposition to violence are legendary, and they will grow brightly in our hearts and minds for years to come. He has completed his long and inspiring journey to God," said Bishop J. Francis Stafford, who took over as head of the Memphis Diocese in 1983 after Bishop Dozier retired. Bishop Dozier, 74, died at 3:15 a.m. yesterday at St. Francis Hospital. He had been in critical condition since Thursday, when he suffered a stroke in his Midtown apartment.

Mayor Henry Loeb is expected to recommend this morning a 1961 city tax rate of $1.56 per $100 assessed evaluation to the City Commission. That would be the lowest city tax rate in this century. Mayor Loeb hinted the tax decrease would equal the county tax increase in October which was a boost of 69 cents from $1.15 to $1.84. While refusing to reveal specific figures, the Mayor implied the proposed 1961 city operating budget had been pared to meet estimated 1961 income.

Hey SeriousMalz!
Glad to see you're working hard! I too am on a journey to be a better artist! Have you ever tried reading the book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain?" I am working through it right now and it's doing wonders for me! I think it's a great first step, as it can help you to get more out of doing figures, anatomy, or other more in-depth studies. The book is all about how to get into the right mindset to draw and ways of perceiving the world as an artist. I just thought based on your work that it could be good for where you are! Keep practicing, and don't forget to do some longer timed drawings too! Cheers!

Hi Hendecagoner!
Thank you for the suggestion Hendecagoner. Your seem to be also working quite hard. I actually stumbled on the book "drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" and others while looking for good art books for beginners on Amazon. I wasn´t sure if I should buy it at that time. Maybe I will buy it now, while wachting you getting better!
Back to drawing: I´ll update my SB in the next four days. I will probably post some sketches then, and explain what I will draw and where I will start
At the moment, I mostly draw on paper. I am also looking at online tutorials and thinking about what I want to draw and where to start, to make positive changes. I want to be able to draw vehicles, enviroments as well as characters in the future!

I will upload some anatomy sketches tomorrow!
February 14th, 2013 #9
Hello, everyone! Here is my contribution for today! I think I will keep on doing humans, enviroments and sometimes animals/creatures regulary.
I have to say, that I learned quite a lot about PS, for example that blending with the smush tool is not a good idea...

you are so kind thanks. check out Ctrlpaint.com so many resources, also do and read about blind contour drawings it will certainly help you get more confident lines.
February 17th, 2013 #12
Thanks for stopping bye my SB. My advice is the same as the guy above me. Check out Ctrlpaint.com .. Instead of using lots of strokes for one line, try giving one confident stroke, it is more pleasant too look at. Keep doing them studies!
I'm a peacock, you gotta let me fly!
February 17th, 2013 #13
Hi all I checked the website out and there are really good tutorials, I will do some of them.
I will also work on my line qualitiy, thanks for the advice.

lovely mate good start, the important thing at this period of your artistic journey is to keep up and keep up breaking through the bad phases that will inevitably occur. Next time that you will feel un-motivated just take a LITTLE break and push again. Ah and be sure that as long as you keep up you will becoming better and better, just at the beginning everything seems a little more difficult. Let me say it again , never give up unless there is a grave reason [at least if thats what you love].
Now lets see, definitely keep up the anatomy studies [doing anatomy helps you improve in several parts of the skill-tree silmutaneously]
Keep up the studies you are doing but dont worry that much about color. I would say focus on greyscale studies, you have to master values. Color without good value foundations cant stand that much. Keep improving on the fundamentals.
lets both keep up!!!
March 11th, 2013 #22
Thank you kingkostas,
you really motivated me
I will keep the anatomy studies up and do more in grayscale to pratice values.
I agree, we all have un-motivated periods or periods where things don't go as planned,but it's important that we dont give up.
I´m back
I was gone a few days, but I´m still drawing regulary, just not uploading regulary even when I want to
What I did...

I lost focus again. The problem is that whenever I try to draw anatomy or from some more detailed reference it takes really long and doesn't look how I wanted it..that frustrates a lot : |.
Instead of continuing, I stop.
I will never get good when I keep it like this. From now on I wont quit and really really study anatomy as well as draw a lot! I will make a lot of boring anatomy studys even when they dont look so good or when I want to do something different!
From now I will try to upload something every day..

Update for today!
Wow, I learned quite a lot today, especially in perspective.
I also practised values with the grayscale painting and from real life today. I think its quite funny that the fish looks like a pokemon or something like that, because of the horns, but these fishes really exists, it was from reference lol.

Didn't have so much time today but still did something!
The digital painting is really unfinished, just the ruff idea of a road above a deep jungle or something like that, without reference btw.
Some cool perspective studies will come soon and some character sketches which I wanna draw with my wacom !

PERUVIAN WRITER MARIO VARGAS LLOSA will be in Houston November 11, as a guest for the Margarett Root Brown Reading Series. The novelist, literary critic, playwright, and essayist is considered to be one of the greatest Spanish American writers of our century. His works include the novels The Green House, Conversation in the Cathedral, Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter, In Praise of the Stepmother, and The Feast of the Goat. The author talks to us about his upcoming visit, his latest novel, and his passion for literature.
texasmonthly.com: In November you will be coming to Houston for the Margarett Root Brown Reading Series.
Mario Vargas Llosa: That's right—to do some readings, chat with students, and to talk, well, mostly about my books, about what I do, about literature.
texasmonthly.com: Will you be reading from anything specifically?
MVLL: Well, I had thought to read from my last novel published in the United States, The Feast of the Goat. And also talk about the novel that I have just finished, El paraíso en la otra esquina (Paradise on the Other Corner).
texasmonthly.com: Would you tell us a little of what this new novel is about?
MVLL: It is a novel about utopia—social and artistic utopia—which was an important idea in nineteenth century Europe. It still is in some ways, in certain circles, but in the nineteenth century there were many utopian movements…for reform, of society, and for world reconstruction. One of the novel's main characters is Flora Tristán, who lived in the first half of the nineteenth century and who was connected to the utopian movements of the period—Saint-Simon, Fourier—but what was original about her is that she fought for women's rights and tried to incorporate the fight against discrimination into the political agendas of these utopian movements. In a way, she could be considered one of the great pioneers of what would later become feminism. And she was also the grandmother of Paul Gauguin.
texasmonthly.com: The other main character.
MVLL: Yes. Paul Gauguin is very interesting because, in his own way, he was a utopian too. Not a social utopian, but rather a utopian in the artistic sphere. He believed in a society of beauty, in which art would be not just the expression of a small group of creators and critics and collectors, but rather everyone's activity, of society together…something which he believed existed in more primitive societies. That is why he spent his last days in Tahiti, in Polynesia, where he went to find that earthly paradise which he thought primitive societies represented, from an art and beauty standpoint. The novel is not a book of history, but it does use two historical figures and describes the world of utopia—the positive and negative parts.
texasmonthly.com: So how did the idea for this novel come about?
MVLL: The idea came about for a simple reason: Flora Tristán was the daughter of a Peruvian. She was French and lived most of her life in France, but she did, however, spend a year in Peru, in 1833. She left a fascinating book about the country, titled Peregrinations of a Pariah, describing what life was like in a South American republic that had just come out of colonialism and was still impregnated with colonial life. It was an interesting experience for her, because it was after that trip that she became a great social agitator. Gauguin too. He spent his first seven years of life in Peru, with his maternal family. He saw many prehispanic objects and fabrics there, and something from those images appears later in his work. It is interesting how figures from the fabrics, from the huacos, from the Incas and pre-Incas, imprinted themselves so deeply in his imagination. When he went to Tahiti to look for traces of a Maori civilization and couldn't find any, he had to invent them, and he invented them based on the memories he had of Peruvian motifs. All that made me extremely curious; I was intrigued by these characters. That's how the idea for this novel came about.
texasmonthly.com: When does it come out?
MVLL: This next year, probably between January and February.
texasmonthly.com: So what, would you say, is the recipe for a good novel?
MVLL: Well, I think there are no recipes. A good novel is a conjunction of many factors, the main of which is without a doubt, hard work. There are many things behind a good novel, but in particular there is a lot of work—a lot of patience, a lot of stubbornness, and a critical spirit. It has been said that the secret to a masterpiece is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration.
texasmonthly.com: In the past you have quoted Flaubert, saying that literature is a way of life.
MVLL: Ah, I completely believe that—literature for me is a way of life. That's probably true of all writers or all artists. I think in the end this kind of activity absorbs one in such a way that it becomes one's way of life. I couldn't imagine any other way of living, outside of books, outside my work. Which doesn't mean I am not interested in other things, of course—I am interested in many things. But the center, the crux, is always literature.
texasmonthly.com: Well, changing topic slightly. You also write columns for the Spanish newspaper El País. How did that come about?
MVLL: Well, the reason is that even though what I enjoy most is literature, I would not want to live only in a world of fiction, cut off from the rest of life. No—I want to always have a foot in the street, to be inmersed in the activities of my contemporaries, in the times, in the place where I live. That is what journalism represents. Journalism is a way of voicing opinion, of participating in the political, social, or cultural debate. And that is what I do—these articles are a bridge with the rest of society, and it is a way for me to maintain contact with daily life, with history in the making.

First, I want to thank others who have replied stating that they also needed the Dispenser Door Latch Grommet. I did, too.Door Gasket-I used needle nosed pliers to grab the old gasket and pulled it right out. I took notice of the direction of the inside of the gasket to ensure I replaced the new in the same direction. I used a warm and wet wash cloth to clean around the gasket home and then gently pressed the new one in. Done! Just like that. Dispenser Door Latch Grommet-1. Unscrewed the 7 torx screws2. Lifted the inside door3. Unplugged the electrical connectors. Make careful note as to which goes where. They require moderate pressure to remore and reinstall (R&R).4. I saw that the grommet did indeed need replacing and cleaned the old soap from inside the door.5. Used a nut driver to unscrew the two screws holding the latch assembly. Needle nosed pliers will also work.6. R&R the old and new grommet.7. Reinserted the latch assembly and tightened the screws.8. Replaced the inside of the door and fastened with the 7 torx screws.9. No leaks. :-)

Ensuring that your organisation has effective controls is key to creating and protecting value and preventing financial and reputational loss. Effective controls mean more than just regulatory compliance - they provide the platform for revenue growth, protect margin and ensure assets are appropriately secured.
Too often cost pressures, headcount reductions and process changes, as well as the increasing sophistication and complexity of information systems, mean that the critical business processes - whether operational or financial - are not well controlled.
Whether your organisation is a large multinational or a fast growing SME, we can work with you at all points of controls evolution. For example, we ensure that the right controls are incorporated when change is occurring. We can also rapidly diagnose a control problem and design and implement the most effective controls solution to realise efficiencies and prevent further financial loss.

Clift Hotel
495 Geary Street, San Francisco, CA, USA
Neighborhood: Union Square
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Once San Francisco's grandest old-fashioned luxury hotel, the century-old Clift underwent a thorough re-imagining at the hands of Philippe Starck, who has transformed its faded Victorian elegance into its nearest modern equivalent — all black, ivory and steely grey, with rich textures in hardwood, velvet and leather, it's the last word in hyper-modern boutique decadence.
Hints of the hotel's Art Deco heritage remain, from the choice of furnishings in the surrealist-inspired lobby to the noir-ish lighting effects throughout. The famous Redwood Room was the focus of the original Clift, and it's still here in all its wood-paneled splendor, decked out in some of Starck's most serious lounge furniture. And the adjacent Velvet Room restaurant is hardly less dramatic, draped with, yes, massive red velvet curtains and lit with hand-blown Murano glass lamps.
Guest rooms are stylish, but not precious — they're sedate, almost monochrome, with accents in soft lavenders and greys, amplifying the effects of the natural light. Bathrooms are smallish, but clever, and the living spaces are spacious, many with astonishing views; the Clift is a high enough building to make for some spectacular sightlines.
It's a bit of a scene, as any Morgans Hotel Group production is intended to be — that's a large part of the appeal for the people who make up the Clift's clientele. This is Starck at his most elegant, and his eye for a well-placed surprise only deepens this place's mystique. It would seem there's some mileage yet left to be wrung from this partnership.

What I liked:
It remains a cool place to be and there is a great buzz about the place. The staff are always excellent and helpful. The room upgrade was much appreciated. Really pleased to see that wifi is now free.
What the hotel could do better:
Compared to my first few visits, the bar seemed to be uneven in the male to female ratio (heavily weighted towards the former). Also, the deafening live DJ and drummer one evening made any form of communication impossible. I'm all for having music that is more than background music, but it was far too loud. It's a great bar - it doesn't need a lot to make it easy to spend time (and money) in there. Lastly, the bathrooms do need a cosmetic sprucing up.

Yabby U (dub/reggae artist & producer Vivian Jackson, aka 'Yabby You')
~ Person
Many of the early recordings had fairly vague credits. There are instances of Yabby U, Yabby You and Vivian Jackson being the artist for tracks on the same album (although he mostly used Vivian Jackson when in collaboration with backing groups such as The Prophets), or for the same tracks but changing depending which compilation it's on.
Yabby U is the most reliable name, and the one used most consistently.
Legal name: Vivian Jackson (Jamaican reggae/dub artist, aka 'Yabby U'/'Yabby You')

It is somewhat interesting, itThis is one of those games that reminds me of the old Steve Jackson novels where you choose your own adventure. It is somewhat interesting, it does provide a random sequence, so the games play a little differently, but its still canned and bound to repeat. If you like those reading adventures and that Harry Potter atmosphere, this is a game for you. you will even feel like Harry Potter in his first film, feeling utterly clueless and overwhelmed, wondering if your classes are actually providing you with the correct skills you need to pass your grades. You will likely end up repeating the game to correct your mistakes. The school sequence is short of the full term, it looks like you will either need to buy an addon or wait for updates to finish the game... its actually unclear which. The multi-adventures are casually interesting, keep in mind there is no action, this is all reading material with an accounting program to keep track of all your gains through your schooling. I think if they added pictures/artwork to enhance the reading, it would be a bit more polished and hold more interest to a wider audience. I also think the game should be purchased at a lower price. If you like reading and Harry Potter, get this when it goes on sale. I give it 6, as first its incomplete as it stands, they could have enhanced it with more visuals, and they could have put some kind of tutorial together to provide an understanding of the requirements of the students by the end of each semester.… Full Review »

When faced with this news, we has to ask if they'd swapped any tips of dealing with women, to which the Girls hit maker replied pretty diplomatically:
"Louis is much further in his career than me but he did say make sure you enjoy it at all times if you're not enjoying then you've got to change something. I was like 'Alright, I will for you Louis.'"
But talking about girls isn't the only things the boys do together…Conor Maynard also revealed that he and Louis Tomlinson crashed an Aston Martin.

He told us: "Louis and I randomly went to an Aston Martin day and I was lucky enough to go and drive one.
"We had this little race at the end of the day and we almost crashed. Yes, we almost wrecked an Aston Martin."
Forget the girl advice, looks like these two need some driving tips and fast!

I hear what you are saying. American's don't want to see their heros to seek asylum from Russia. I think the last I read, 50 percent of those polled said that they thought Snowden had done the right thing, and 34 percent said he had done the wrong thing. But, most importantly, 55 percent polled felt collecting and analyzing phone records is not justified or necessary in fighting terrorism.
