There are many ways to lose weight. Some are more destructive than others while some are perfectly healthy such as regular exercise and eating healthy. Aside from this, food and dietary supplements are becoming more widespread. One of these is forskolin, an herbal extract taken from the roots of the Indian Coleus. First researched back in 1974 by the Central Drug Institute of India, this supplement was found to have a ton of health benefits barring some side – effects one might experience. This article will discuss how this extract benefits the body and why you should consider looking it up to determine if you need it.
Forskolin This extract primarily facilitates the production of certain hormones in the body. It also helps in the production of cyclic AMP or CAMP. It has been used in ancient times in India, Burma and some parts of Thailand. Now, modern research indicates that there is a scientific basis as to why it was so popular in the ancient world. Checking out Youtube forskolin videos will enlighten you to this fact. So what if it raises the levels of CAMP and certain hormones in the body. Well, these have a huge impact on metabolism. This increases the body's metabolism which has a lot of health benefits. When it comes to weight loss, it is pretty effective because fatty tissues are broken down faster thanks to this supplement. Aside from weight loss, it also has applications in keeping a healthy heart. Research suggests that this compound helps in the dilation of blood vessels which lessens the risk of cardiac arrest. More dilated blood vessels and decongestion of fat deposits in those blood vessels spells for a healthier heart. It even has applications on mood enhancing as a study done when this was administered to those suffering from depression turned out positive.

Cane Creek dove field to open in Jocassee Gorges on Sept. 16
A new dove field will be open on Wednesday afternoons of the mourning dove season in the Jocassee Gorges in northern Pickens County beginning Sept. 16.
Visitors who travel this fall along Cane Creek Road in Jocassee Gorges in northern Pickens County will encounter some changes. The new highlight along the route is a 16-acre clearing that will provide some dove hunting in Jocassee Gorges. "It is the largest open area on the entire property," said Mark Hall, Jocassee Gorges project manager with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
The decision to create the new dove field on Jocassee resulted from the fact that wildlife technicians could work on lands owned by the state. Resources and funds for managing non-DNR lands have dwindled in recent years due to budget and personnel reductions. Thus, managing a dove field on Jocassee made good logistical and economic sense.
Finding a level place within the rugged Jocassee Gorges landscape was a fairly tough thing to do, according to Hall. Fortunately, DNR uses some good tools for spatial analysis of the landscape. Digital topographic maps and a geographical information system (GIS) were key factors in the search for flat ground. The area along Cane Creek road that was identified is about the largest flat area within Jocassee. "Large" in this case means more than 10 acres, since most productive dove fields are more than 10 acres in size. The field has some small hills, but it is moderately flat in comparison to the balance of the land, where slopes of more than 30 percent are common.
DNR developed a careful plan to avoid archeological sites, as well as potential harm to any uncommon flora, fauna or water resources. The area was clear-cut in 2006, when planted pines were removed during the harvest. The white pine plantation that was removed was on a site that was not suitable for the tree species. The tree stumps were left to deteriorate for more than two years, and then the area was cleared by a contractor. DNR was able to hire Appalachian Grading of Sunset to stump, grub, disk, grade and lime the 16 acres for a little over $1,000 per acre. DNR staff finished the job with seeding of browntop millet. Recent rains have allowed the crop to establish a good root system, stabilize the soils and create an attractive sea of green amongst the solid forest.
The browntop millet will produce and shed seed in early September. Doves will be attracted, and dove hunting will be limited to Wednesday afternoons after Sept. 15, when the interior Jocassee Gorges roads will open to the public. In the future, the field will planted to ensure the soil is protected.
Permanent strips of switchgrass will be used along with annual plantings of wheat, dove proso and browntop millets. The large field is the only substantial opening on Jocassee, and it is sure to receive attention from many other wildlife species, such as songbirds and black bear.
DNR will monitor dove utilization and hunter success, and then make decisions as to how to best manage the field for both the resources and the public.
Waterfalls, green salamanders, black bear, uncommon plants such as Oconee bells and many long-range vistas are just a few of the natural wonders that may be found in the 33,000-acre Jim Timmerman Natural Resources Area at Jocassee Gorges in Pickens and Oconee counties. More information on the Jocassee Gorges may be obtained by calling the Clemson DNR office at (864) 654-1671, extension 22.

Corinthians set to move for striker Angel Romero's twin Oscar
Corinthians have started to make moves to bring in the twin brother of recent signing Angel Romero, the Paraguayan who joined the club from Cerro Porteno last month.
Forward Angel, who has one cap for his country, was transferred to Brazilian football in June and has played three league games for Corinthians so far, without yet bagging his first goal.
And now the Sao Paulo side want to sign his sibling Oscar, who is seen as more of a wide player, from the same Paraguayan club. According to lancenet.com, the fee would be in the region of £4 million and Oscar would not join until the end of the calendar year.
Angel told the media last week that "it would be wonderful to see it here. It would be ideal for me and my family to have my brother here."
Oscar has actually represented Paraguay six times already and has scored one international goal.

Today, you're working to coordinate lessons, manage the household and see that your children are properly fed, taught and nurtured. You've got a lot going on!
Before everyone starts school, you decide to have the kids do chores. And that requires the need to communicate.
What happens when you ask your little one to fold towels? What's the response when you ask your teenager to take out the trash?
May I suggest that we take a cue from aircraft controllers and pilots? Their normal protocol includes making a request -- then receiving confirmation that the request was heard and will be carried out.
Flight Controller: "Cessna 577 Juliet, turn to 270 degrees. Maintain altitude of 3,500 feet."
Pilot: "577 Juliet turning 270 degrees, maintaining altitude of 3,500 feet."
So, when you ask your child to do something, suggest that they give you some kind of response whether it's "No problem, Mom." -- or "Okay, I'll take care of the trash."
As the daughter of a pilot, I spent my fair share of girlhood days around airplanes, airports and garages that smelled like gasoline and grease. My dad was an Aircraft Maintenance Specialist with NavAir. A consummate master of mechanics and engines, he flew (on his own, not commercially) for fifty years.
The five of us kids took turns flying with dad on Saturdays. The best part was when I got to sit up front in the right seat, put my hands on the controls and pretend to be Amelia Earhart. I pictured wearing the white scarf and having her curly hair.
I looked left to see my dad's huge, rugged, weather-beaten hands on the controls. Before taxiing the Stinson (N97316), he commanded "CLEAR PROP!"
It was exhilarating to gain speed and clear the trees. Davis Airport (or Field) in Laytonsville, MD had no tower, controller or decent runway, but I always loved flying out of that little air field. I was with Dad, and I was flying! Soaring!
During our eleven years of homeschooling, I required the guys to do a lot of chores around the house. And I always insisted that they communicate with me as I made requests. It worked well after lots of training.
Request from Two Oaks Tower: "Cessna Romeo, expedite your turnoff at the next available taxi-way."
The response? "Right away, Mom."
Have a great day. God bless you! Remember, your role as a mom is so important.

NAVARRE — It's a difficult time to find work, but hundreds of local job-seekers got some face time Friday with potential employers at the Northwest Florida Veterans & Military Hiring Fair.
This was the sixth year that the Workforce Development Board of Okaloosa and Walton Counties partnered with Workforce Escarosa to host the job fair. Although designed specifically to help veterans, military members transitioning out of the service and their spouses, the fair was open to everyone.
About 400 job-seekers showed up at the Navarre Conference Center.
"(The hiring fair is) going great. It seems like the attendance is a little lower than normal," said Jerry McDaniel, the local veterans employment representative for JobsPlus. "We have done this for six years. In the past, we've drawn 400 to 600. That's been our window.
"We try to educate people who come," McDaniel added. "The chances are small that you're actually going to get a job at a job fair, but the real benefit is being able to talk to the employers."
Among the 40 businesses on hand were BAE Systems, Andrews Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Center and Lockheed Martin.
Although McDaniel would have liked more visitors, the business representatives were very happy with the turnout.
"It's been the best job fair I've been to in a long, long time," said Anna Garland, director of human resources for Fort Walton Beach Medical Center. "We've had a lot of job-seekers that meet the qualifications for the positions we have open, so it's been very exciting for us. I think we'll get some good potential employees."
Gregory Young, a recruiter for Gulf Power, said his firm had talked to about 150 people by late Friday morning. He said representatives encouraged them to go to www.southerncompany.com and create a profile on the site to let the company know the type of position they would be interested in.
Gregory said Gulf Power has hired more than 20 veterans since 2011.
"We're getting some great folks today, some veterans that have the kinds of skills and backgrounds that we need at Gulf Power," Young said. "The way we feel about it, if you've ran a power plant on an aircraft carrier, you can run a power plant on dry land. If you've strung lines in Afghanistan or Iraq, you can sure string lines in Fort Walton or Navarre."
U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller, whose office helped sponsor the job fair, attended the event for about an hour and talked to the job-seekers and company representatives.

During the Tyson Griffin vs. Nick Lentz fight at UFC 123, Joe Rogan referred to a kick thrown in that fight as a "question mark kick."
This reference seemed to get under the skin of Fighters Only writer Tomas Rios who fired a missive on twitter that read, "Joe Rogan calling a Brazilian kick the "question mark kick" during Griffin/Lentz is pantheon level cluelessness."
Rogan fired back, posting on the "Underground" MMA forum, "He's a dumb c**t. That's exactly what it's called. Before it was ever the Brazilian kick it was also called a "fake front kick roundhouse kick."
K-1 announcer Michael Schiavello then added, "It got called 'The Brazilian Kick' because Francisco Filho would throw it to great effect and then other Brazilians like Feitosa would use it similarly... so the Japanese mostly dubbed it the Brazilian Kick as a catchy gimmick because the Brazilians (started with Filho) made it their kickboxing specialty. Before that it was called, commonly, a question mark kick because the foot paints an invisible question mark in the air as it travels."
Rogan did not seem content to let things rest and this is where things could get interesting. His next post read, "Rios no longer writes for Fighters Only magazine. I got him fired. First time I've ever done this to a so called mma journalist, but I've had more than enough of these f**king zeros clogging up the sport with their incompetent bullsh*t. You wanted my attention, f**got? You got it."
While I understand that Rogan has the freedom to say what he wants, his employer, in this case the UFC, also has the freedom to discipline him for his words if they have a negative effect on them or their product. The first amendment does not protect you from repercussions from your employer, only from the government.
With the comment Rogan may have stepped in "it." Rios, as much as Rogan and many others may dislike him, is still a journalist and as such he can give this story a lot of press that makes Rogan out to be the bad guy.
It appears that this has already begun, as Rios wrote, "My comments were aimed exclusively at Rogan's commentary. He has responded with homophobic language which I consider unfortunate at best. There are many LGBTQ fans of MMA who are forced to deal with this sort of language in their daily lives. If I regret anything about what I said, it's that it made him feel the need to use the language that he did."
For his part, Rogan did apologize, but when he ended his apology with the following, well, I don't know how sincere it was, "As for my use of the offensive word "f**got" please accept my apologies and replace it with "c**k-sucker."
Will this be the first round of a long battle between Rios and Rogan or will Rogan lose the fight by knockout early on?
In these politically correct times people have been let go for saying far less.

Estimated grade. BARBER AMAZONIAN LIBERTY HEAD LEFT. Unique.
David Akers (1975/88): Description: Obverse. Identical to J-1224. Reverse. Similar to J-1224 except for the denomination which reads THREE DOL. The star to the right of DOL. is also much closer to the second A in AMERICA than on the other five patterns in the set. There are also fourteen stripes on the reverse shield.
Comments: In addition to being part of the only complete set of uniformly designed U.S. gold patterns, this piece is extremely significant in that it is the only gold pattern of this denomination. (The other three dollar gold piece that is generally listed as a pattern, J-440, is in reality a restrike and was struck sometime after 1872 rather than in 1865.)
The only known specimen of this pattern is owned by Paramount International Coin Corporation who purchased it from Dr. Wilkison in 1973. Prior to being acquired by Dr. Wilkison in 1954 for 220 pounds or approximately $631.40, this pattern was owned by King Farouk and, previously, by William H. Woodin of New York City who owned the entire 1872 pattern gold set.

Mets Going With Six-Man Rotation; Harvey Will Have Innings Limit
The Mets will try out a modified six-man rotation this week, Terry Collins told reporters this afternoon.
The Mets will go with R.A. Dickey, Johan Santana, Jonathon Niese, Matt Harvey, Chris Young, and Jeremy Hefner. This will not be a classic six-man rotation, however. R.A. Dickey will continue to pitch every fifth day when possible.
This move does a number of things. First, it will keep everyone healthy and rested. Johan Santana is going to be paid almost $25 million next season. His left arm is an asset that the Mets desperately want to protect. On top of that, they will be reducing the injury risk for Chris Young, who has constantly been hurt over the past few seasons. Him and Santana are both coming back from anterior capsule surgeries, with Santana missing all of last season and Young making only four starts. Avoiding the immediate jump to 190 to 200 innings could keep them healthy for next season.
Along with that, this will protect Matt Harvey, who will be limited to around 170 innings. Here are the innings Met starters have pitched so far this season, including minor league and rehab numbers.

This application claims priority to a provisional application entitled "Web Server Power Quality and Revenue Meter" filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office on May 11, 2001 and assigned Application No. 60/290,511, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The present disclosure relates to socket-type electrical meters, and, more particularly, to a system which provides power quality and revenue metering information to remote locations.
2. Description of the Related Art
Electric utility companies ("utilities") track electric usage by customers by using power meters. These meters track the amount of power consumed at a particular location. These locations range from power substations, to commercial businesses, to residential homes. The electric utility companies use the power meter to charge its customers for their power consumption, i.e. revenue metering.
A popular type of power meter is the socket-type power meter. As its name implies, the meter itself plugs into a socket for easy installation, removal and replacement. Other meter installations include panel mounted, switchboard mounted, and circuit breaker mounted. Typically the power meter connects between utility power lines supplying electricity and a usage point, namely a residence or commercial place of business. Though not typical, a power meter may also be placed at a point within the utility's power grid to monitor power flowing through that point for distribution, power loss, or capacity monitoring. Also, power meters can be used to monitor internal customer usage, that handle submetering functions.
Traditionally, power meters used mechanical means to track the amount of consumed power. The inductive spinning disk power meter is still commonly used. The spinning disk drives mechanical counters that track the power consumption information.
Newer to the market are electronic power meters. Electronic meters have replaced the older mechanical meters, and utilize digital sampling of the voltage and current waveforms to generate power consumption information. In addition to monitoring power consumption, electronic meters can also monitor and calculate power quality, that is, voltage, current, real power, reactive power, and apparent power, among others. These power quality measurements and calculations are displayed on an output display device on the meter.
In more recent developments, limited power consumption information can be transmitted from the power meter to the utility through the use of telephone communications circuitry contained either within or external to the meter. These developments are advantageous to the utility company in that it reduces the need for employees being dispatched to the remote locations to collect the power consumption information. A standard modem receives raw power consumption information from the power meter and transmits the information to the utility company via telephone lines. While this represents an improvement over past techniques, this information then must be interpreted and further processed to calculate the amount of power consumption, a secondary process that results in further processing apparatus and software, and further resulting in increases to the costs and complexities of the overall system.
There is therefore a need for an electronic power meter that can process raw power consumption information. There is a further need for an electronic power meter that can make available processed power consumption information to multiple end users. And a still further need exists for an electronic power meter that provides processed power information to multiple users in a format that is easily viewed and interpreted by an end user.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an electronic power meter that processes raw power consumption information.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an electronic power meter that makes available processed power consumption information to multiple end users.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an electronic power meter that makes available processed power consumption information to multiple end users in a format that is easily viewed and interpreted by an end user.
The present invention is an electric power meter providing real time revenue calculations as well as power quality metering. The power meter actively updates a number of users over the Internet in real time. A user can be utility personnel or customers. The power meter is also capable of communicating through several ports using several different communication protocols simultaneously. The interfaces, including web pages, are user definable and configurable. The meter is installable as a socket type meter, a panel mounted meter, a switchboard mounted meter, or a circuit breaker meter.
In one embodiment of the present application, a web server provides real time data through an Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) or Extensible Markup Language (XML) interface. Additionally, the web server allows viewing of stored historical and power quality data and provides users with an interface for retrieval of historical data via industry standard protocols including Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
In another embodiment of the present invention, the web server operates as a Modbus Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Gateway for the power meter and existing serial based devices that connect through a network serial port to allow data be monitored or transferred via a network infrastructure.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, a socket-type electric power meter provides concurrent operation of a web server, Modbus TCP and additional protocols which are supported by the power meter, thus allowing the power meter to be easily incorporated into existing power control systems as well as providing access to real-time web information, such as the revenue calculations, metering data and power quality data, using a standard web browser.
The advantages and features of the presently disclosed web server power quality and revenue meter will become more readily apparent and may be understood by referring to the following detailed description of illustrative embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a power quality and revenue meter according to an embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the processor functions of a power quality and revenue meter system shown in FIG. 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail herein below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well known functions or constructions have not been described so as not to obscure the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a web server power quality and revenue meter according to an embodiment of the present invention. Shown in FIG. 1 are power quality and revenue meter (meter) 10. The meter is connected to monitor electric distribution power lines (not shown), to monitor voltage and current at the point of connection. Included therein is digital sampler 20 for digitally sampling the voltage and current of the power being supplied to a customer or monitored at the point of the series connection in the power grid. Digital sampler 20 digitally samples the voltage and current. The digital samples are then forwarded to processor 30 for processing. Also connected to processor 30 is external device interface 40 for providing an interface for external devices 50 to connect to meter 10. These external devices might include other power meters, sub-station control circuitry, on/off switches, etc. Processor 30 receives data packets from digital sampler 20 and external devices 50, and processes the data packets according to user defined or predefined requirements. A memory 60 is connected to processor 30 for storing data packets and program algorithms, and to assist in processing functions of processor 30. These processing functions include the power quality data and revenue calculations, as well as formatting data into different protocols which will be described later in detail. Processor 30 provides processed data to network 80 through network interface 70. Network 80 can be the Internet, the World Wide Web (WWW), an intranet, a wide area network (WAN), or local area network (LAN), among others. In the preferred embodiment, the network interface converts the data to an Ethernet TCP/IP format. The use of the Ethernet TCP/IP format allows multiple users to access the power meter simultaneously. In a like fashion, network interface 70 might be comprised of a modem, cable connection, or other devices that provide formatting functions. Computers 90-92 are shown connected to network 80.
A web server program (web server) is contained in memory 60, and accessed through network interface 70. The web server provides real time data through any known web server interface format. For example, popular web server interface formats consist of HTML and XML formats. The actual format of the programming language used is not essential to the present invention, in that any web server format can be incorporated herein. The web server provides a user friendly interface for the user to interact with the meter 10. The user can have various access levels to enter limits for e-mail alarms. Additionally, the user can be provided the data in a multiple of formats including raw data, bar graph, charts, etc. The currently used HTML or XML programming languages provide for easy programming and user friendly user interfaces.
The operation of the device of FIG. 1 will now be described. Digital sampler 20 samples the voltage and current at and flowing through the point of connection, or sampling point. The voltage and current readings, in the form of data packets, are forwarded to processor 30 where they undergo various power calculations. Processor 30 calculates, for example, instantaneous voltage and current, real power, reactive power, and apparent power. The processing algorithms can be preprogrammed into memory 60, uploaded by an end user, or performed at the end-user's location. The calculations performed by processor 30 are not meant to be all inclusive, as the processor can be programmed to provide any number of preprogrammed or user defined calculations. In addition to performing the calculations, processor 30 sends the packet data to memory 60 to be stored for future access. As digital sampler 20 is sampling the voltage and current at the sampling point, external device 50 can be feeding parallel information to processor 30 through external device interface 40. This external device packet data would be processed and stored in a similar manner as the digital sampler packet data. Processor 30 then formats the processed data into various network protocols and formats. The protocols and formats can, for example, consist of the web server HTML or XML formats, Modbus TCP, RS-485, FTP or e-mail. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can also be used to assign IP addresses. The network formatted data is now available to users at computers 90-92 through network 80, that connects to meter 10 at the network interface 70.
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, network interface 70 is an Ethernet interface that supports, for example, 100 base-T or 10 base-T communications. This type of network interface can send and receive data packets between WAN connections and/or LAN connections and the meter 10. This type of network interface allows for situations, for example, where the web server may be accessed by one user while another user is communicating via the Modbus TCP, and a third user may be downloading a stored data file via FTP. The ability to provide access to the meter by multiple users, simultaneously, is a great advantage over the prior art. This can allow for a utility company's customer service personnel, a customer and maintenance personnel to simultaneously and interactively monitor and diagnose possible problems with the power service.
FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of processor 30 of the web server power quality and revenue meter system according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 illustrates the functional processing structure of processor 30. Processor 30 is shown containing four main processing functions. Processing 120 can be realized in various memory configurations, and are not limited to any one configuration. The functions shown are illustrative and not meant to be inclusive of all possible functions performed by processor 30. Power Quality and Revenue Metering functions (metering functions) 110 consists of a complete set of functions which are needed for power quality and revenue metering. Packet data collected by digital sampler 20 is transmitted to processor 30. Processor 30 calculates, for example, power reactive power, apparent power, and power factor. The metering function 110 responds to commands via the network or other interfaces supported by the meter. External Device Routing Functions 130 handle the interfacing between the external device 50 and meter 10. Raw data from external device 50 is fed into meter 10. The external device 50 is assigned a particular address. If more than one external device is connected to meter 10, each device will be assigned a unique particular address.
Referring again to FIG. 1, network interface 70 can support, for example, either 100 base-T or 10 base-T communications, and receives and sends data packet between a wide area network (WAN) connection and/or local area network (LAN) connection and the meter. The Network Protocol Functions of meter 10 are executed by processor 30 which executes multiple networking tasks that are running concurrently. As shown in FIG. 2, these include, but are not limited to, the following network tasks included in network protocol functions 150: e-mail 160, web server 170, Modbus TCP 180, FTP 190, and DHCP 200. The e-mail 160 network protocol function can be utilized to send e-mail messages via the network 80 to a user to, for example, notify the user of an emergency situation or if the power consumption reaches a user-set or pre-set high level threshold.
As the processor receives packets of data it identifies the network processing necessary for the packet by the port number associated with the packet. The processor allocates the packet to a task as a function of the port number. Since each task is running independently the meter 10 can accept different types of requests concurrently and process them transparently from each other. For example, the web server may be accessed by one user while another user is communicating via Modbus TCP and at the same time a third user may download a log file via FTP.
The Network to Meter Protocol Conversion Function 140 is used to format and protocol convert the different network protocol messages to a common format understood by the other functional sections of meter 10. After the basic network processing of the packet of data, any "commands" or data which are to be passed to other functional sections of meter 10 are formatted and protocol converted to a common format for processing by the Network to Meter Protocol Conversion Function 140. Similarly, commands or data coming from the meter for transfer over the network are pre-processed by this function into the proper format before being sent to the appropriate network task for transmission over the network. In addition this function first protocol converts and then routes data and commands between the meter and external devices.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention. Accordingly, modifications, such as those suggested above, but not limited thereto are to be considered within the scope of the presently disclosed web server power quality and revenue meter.

All rides on the heritage buses on route 22 are free, except for those on the extra special RT1 (pictured) which is running in public service for the first time since 1945. Rides on the RT1 are £10, check the timetable here.
While you're in Hackney, check out the display of RTs at Ash Grove bus garage in Hackney.
On Sunday, London Bus Museum holds its annual Spring Gathering with stalls, a collectors' market and activities for children at its Brooklands site. Buses old and new will be ferrying people from Weybridge station to the Museum (free, timetable) and in the afternoon there will be a parade of RTs, including another opportunity to ride the RT1. You may even get to ride their Horse Bus if conditions are right.

Diary of a Mad Law Professor
By the Dawn's Early Light
I write from shipboard, on the Nation cruise. The boat has just pulled away from port and chugs toward the horizon, leaving land behind. We are fourth in a line of cruise ships departing the harbor at sunset, all glittering in a blaze of orange and pink and turquoise. I look back at the shore and think: America. What a beautiful, rich, blessed land we live in. What more than the land itself could Coronado and Ponce de León have been seeking? Why gold? Why youth? Why even piña coladas? The pure pleasure of this place ought to have been enough.
And yet... it is a mixed sensation, for I am also relieved to see the land receding just now, suspended as we are in the tense limbo of this, the first week of December 2000. It is good to leave behind Rush Limbaugh's meanspirited radio transmissions, the foaming attacks on Jesse Jackson, the use of insulting stereotypes of black people to attack Al Gore and Bill Clinton. It is a relief to take a break from the contemptuous public disrespect for the function of courts, the role of lawyers, the intentions of voters, the requirements of process. As Florida slips beneath the horizon, and CNN's signal crackles and grows fuzzy, I feel like a black-single-mother version of Henry David Thoreau, only standing at the brink of a much bigger and much deeper pond: "To me, away there in my bean-field at the other end of the town, the big guns sounded as if a puffball had burst; and when there was a military turnout...I have sometimes had a vague sense all the day of some sort of itching and disease in the horizon."
What a time we live in. On November 7, I stayed up late like everyone else, listening to National Public Radio on my Walkman. I fell asleep with the headphones on sometime in the wee hours of November 8, exhausted by the flummoxed newscasters' frantic flips and flops. Gore was winning when I lost consciousness. When I awoke hours later, the tinny sound in my ears had changed: A sneering, gleeful voice was making fun of Florida's elderly and "NEEE-gro" voters. I lay frozen. What I didn't know was that NPR is only a hair's bandwidth away from The Howard Stern Show and that in my sleep I had apparently flipped and flopped as much as the results, enough to move the dial a fraction. So it was that my first waking thought was: "Dear God, George Bush won, and they've taken over NPR. The revolution has begun."
It's been all downhill from there. Over the days and weeks since, we have witnessed an eerily exact re-enactment of the tie that led up to the Hayes-Tilden compromise of 1876, as a result of which the federal government pulled troops out of the post-Civil War South. This in turn led directly to the collapse of Reconstruction and the vengeful reassertion of that brand of separatist white supremacy so vividly depicted in D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation.
In the weeks since, we have heard George Bush say that it's the executive's job to interpret the law, an idea that Augusto Pinochet surely would endorse. We have watched another Ryder truck (remember Timothy McVeigh?) make its way into the annals of American history. We have shared yet one more "O.J. moment," as Floridians lined the streets to watch the truck speed by, cheering, hooting and taking photos. And given that America's most precious natural resource turns out not to have been gold but rather the entertainment industry, we have been graced with enough material from which to spin conspiracy plots for years and years to come. I see blockbusters like Elián's Revenge, Jeb Jimmies the Lockbox, and of course, The South Shall Rise Again.
In the weeks since November 8, my cruel British friends have had a field day. So soon after the last fiasco, so soon after the spectacle of the Inquisition-style moralists who tried to impeach Bill Clinton, I find myself explaining American peculiarities yet again to the exceedingly upbeat English. They twitter on in the most condescending way about former colonies that simply aren't ready to govern themselves. I try to be serious and explain the Electoral College. They say they are quite informed about American history, thank you very much, and could I please explain why only three-fifths of Florida's electorate was counted while at the same time three-fifths of the people who have declared George Bush a winner are related to him? Is it fuzzy math or fuzzy brain that keeps Americans from noticing that Bush's margin of victory is about the same as the number of people he has executed in Texas?
"You lot got your knickers in quite a knot this time, eh?" gloat the Cruel British Friends.
"A real atomic wedgie," I concede.
In the postelection weeks, my sleep has been troubled by strange visions. I dream that Al Gore and George Bush are standing in the ring at Madison Square Garden, Gore bouncing up and down in his Harvard boxing shorts and nice new leather gloves, Bush trying to look presidential while wearing a Hell's Angels vest, swinging a chain and hiding a switchblade.
Another night I dream that Bush is President, and, first thing, the neural pathways for Croatians and Koreans get crossed in his brain. He ends up thinking they're all "Corians" and while his advisers are out finding floor samples, he drops bombs on the nearest thing he can find on a map--which would be those poor doomed Grecians. World War III breaks out, world markets plunge and the sublimina-limina-lominable hordes sweep down from the north, south, east and west.
Other times I dream I am arguing before the Supreme Court, and Bush appointee Kenneth Starr is our new Chief Justice. The United States Constitution is a jewel, I say, whose multifaceted brilliance takes time, polishing and the infinite honing of years of courtroom argumentation by the finest minds dressed in Brooks Brothers suits, blah, blah, blah. The dream always ends with just that: blah, blah, blah.
Anyway, back onboard the Nation cruise, I turn my attention to preparing my remarks for the first morning's panel, titled--I restrain myself from comment--"The Nation At Sea: Where Are We Headed?" I furrow my brow and chew my pencil. I stare at the blank white paper. "Paris," I write at last.

Is there anyone who has been to this place? It is in between Tuan Giao and Sapa. It's not on the main tourist highway, but I'm want to try it as an alternative. I've been googling endlessly, but only find descriptions of tourist agents in the style of 'Day X we will stay in a guesthouse in Than Uyen...." Any recommendation or story about Than Uyen is welcome, also what kind of minorities one can see there? Also, how's the road between Tuan Giao and Than Uyen?
Many thanks,

I know this was 6 years ago but I had this same question, and surely others will in the future, so I'd like to answer it. I stayed at Hotel Phuong Nhung. Receptionist quoted me 200000 VND, I paid 150000. Decent room, had to switch rooms though as the water didn't work after a few hours. It appears there are two Hotel Phuong Nhung though, as there is another directly across the street on the right side if you're heading through town from Tuan Giao (the one on the right side was closed). The road was decent, paved and good condition for 80% of the way, the other 20% dirt/gravel/potholes. It was under construction though for a small stretch near the dam though. Hope someone out there finds this useful!

Thanks, that's useful, but can you tell me a bit more about what's actually in the Than Uyen? I guess it's a good stop when travelling in that area, but is it worth a visit for its own sake or is it just another rural town?

Well, I spent all of about 15 hours in the town. It's worth a visit if you've got the time to spare, there was some sort of concert/festival going on at the stadium which created a pretty lively atmosphere. I'd say after one night the average traveller might start getting itchy feet to move on.

The series premiere of FX's newest drama, THE AMERICANS, has been set for Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 10pm ET/PT.
The Americans is a period drama about the complex marriage of two KGB spies posing as Americans in suburban Washington D.C. Shortly after Ronald Reagan is elected President. The arranged marriage of Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell), who have two children - 13-year-old Paige (Holly Taylor) and 10-year-old Henry (Keidrich Sellati), who know nothing about their parents' true identity - grows more passionate and genuine by the day, but is constantly tested by the escalation of the Cold War and the intimate, dangerous and darkly funny relationships they must maintain with a network of spies and informants under their control. Complicating their relationship further is Philip's growing sense of affinity for America's values and way of life. Tensions also heighten upon the arrival of a new neighbor, Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich), an FBI agent. Stan and his partner, Agent Chris Amador (Maximiliano Hernández), are members of a new division of Counterintelligence tasked with fighting against foreign agents on U.S. soil, including KGB Directorate S illegals, Russian spies posing as Americans.
Created and executive produced by Joe Weisberg (Falling Skies), a former CIA agent who went on to become an accomplished author, The Americans is produced by Fox Television Studios and FX Productions. Joel Fields and Graham Yost are also executive producers, along with Amblin Television heads Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank.

Tackling water problems
Thursday, July 02, 2009
Oregon's Legislature sought to solve problems incurred by inadequate water planning and control. It's a debate with many facets.
The state's economy and welfare "have been seriously impaired and are in danger of further impairment" because of inadequate water planning and control, the bill says. The legislation concluded improving supplies and forecasts is "a matter of greatest concern and highest priority."
The legislation "indicates that Oregon means business when it comes to water," said Todd Jarvis, an Oregon State University professor and water expert.

Performance as worship
WHAT: Audience of One presents "Lights Up!," a series of short skits and theatrical and musical performances
WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday
WHERE: Salvation Army Community Center, 2901 N. Clinton St.
COST: Free, but a freewill offering will be accepted to benefit the Salvation Army and the local all for One Productions faith-based theater group.
INFORMATION: 241-3378, email@example.com or www.audienceofoneftw.com.
NOTE: Audience of One 2014-2015 season includes "Mill Girls," "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" and "Don Quixote"Jan. 30-31, 2014, and "A Walk in the Woods", "The Tales of Snow White," and "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court", April 17-18, 2015. All performances will be held at the Salvation Army Community Center, 2901 N. Clinton St.
For some, the word "theater" conjures up visions of a grand structure — Fort Wayne's Arts United Center, Chicago's Oriental Theatre, or New York City's Carnegie Hall.
For others, "theater" is a verb — dancing, singing, acting.
For Lisa Ellis, theater is education.
Ellis is administrative and creative director for Audience of One, a theater troupe of homeschoolers who will present "Lights Up!" Friday evening at the Salvation Army Community Center. The two-hour production showcases group talent while raising funds for the Salvation Army and for all for One Productions (afO), an affiliated theater group which mentors the young thespians.
"This event will feature singers, musicians, dancers, bands and actors," Ellis says, "... a great opportunity for folks to enjoy local talent and reach out to the community."
Ellis and husband Terry have home-schooled their five daughters for nearly a decade.
"We loved the lifestyle," she says. "We bought an RV, and the kids have seen 46 states!"
An actor since stepping on stage in middle school, Ellis saw her children continue learning while accompanying her to rehearsals for afO productions.
"My kids have always loved to go to rehearsal with me," she says. "They learn storylines, vocabulary and interpretation of classic literature. It's like English class, and they don't even know it!"
Ellis' friend, Miriam Kroeker, suggested the two form a theater/dance group. Kroeker would teach dance, and Ellis would direct theater. In 2010, 35 students responded.
"It was exciting seeing the enthusiasm of the kids," Ellis recalls. "They really inspired me. I loved how they came up with ideas and ignited creativity in each other."
Although Kroeker was unable to continue, Ellis wanted to sustain the momentum, especially since the students were begging her to do so.
"We have a goal to perform God-honoring theater," she explains, "and by doing that, we train kids to be communicators, to be servants and to empathize with others."
Audience of One was chosen for the group's name.
"The name is a testimony," Ellis explains. "Perform like God is the only being watching. He's really the only one that matters. Tell the story. Be the story. And give it your best — every rehearsal, every line, every time."
"It's a form of worship," she adds. "Most of our kids take the philosophy to heart, so our rehearsals are very productive."
Audience of One membership doubled as they expanded to include students from Leo, Ossian, New Haven and Monroeville. Along with students who want to perform, the program also draws home-schoolers who want to learn lights, sound, set design and construction, costuming, and stage management skills.
Jeff Salisbury and Evan Fritz came onboard to assist with script selection, share lighting and sound expertise, and help Ellis with general direction and production. Other parents and community volunteers provide practical help with costuming, set dressing, acting instruction, and "sage advice,, says Ellis.
Last spring, the group partnered with the Salvation Army to stage three of their six annual one-act shows on the expansive stage in the sprawling northside complex. This summer, the Salvation Army Center became the home stage for Audience of One.
"I'm so excited the Salvation Army has opened its doors to us," says Ellis, who is anticipating the two uniting to serve the community. "Last year, we visited nursing homes at Christmas with SA volunteers. ... This year, since we are training kids on their light and sound system, we can offer them skilled help during special events and fundraisers."
This Friday's showcase features 17 acts ranging from singers and dancers to monologues and skits.
Eleven year-old Tori Cwanek performs "Sorcerer," an original composition. The piece begins with a deceptively simple chordal progression before exploding into a colorful and complex musical statement of syncopated rhythms and melodic lines that send her fingers flying over the piano keys.
Jamaica Ellis and Addison Agen, members of a youth band at C2G Ministries, sing the popular worship song, "Oceans," accompanying themselves on guitar and bongo.
Sisters Hannah and Maddie Gerig sing "What is This Feeling?" from the hit musical "Wicked," their staging drawing a hearty guffaw from Salisbury during a recent rehearsal.
Newcomer Cooper Beer entertains with a Shakespearean version of "The Three Little Pigs," playing all four parts of the popular children's story.
Interspersed among pianists, singers, dancers and a violinist are several skits. "MOTB" chronicles the mishaps of a wedding; "Stuff in the Sink" describes " lethal junk," "toxic waste," and how mom "reaches in there with her bare hands!" Both skits elicit more belly laughs from Salisbury.
It will be a fun-filled evening, says Ellis.
"As we work together on something," says Ellis, "all of us — actors, directors, the whole team — become a community with one goal: to do all of our work as worship."

The Chevrolet Camaro served as the official Indianapolis 500 pace car four times between 1967 and 1993. Perhaps the most famous and iconic of all Indy pace cars, regardless of make or model, is the '69 Camaro, which paced the 53rd running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 30, 1969.
Pete Estes, Chevrolet general manager, and Speedway President Tony Hulman made the announcement on January 28, 1969, that the Camaro would again pace the race, the second time in just three years. Noting that the RS/SS Camaro pace car would be white with Hugger Orange stripes, it would also have a new interior in orange and a "ducted hood."
Chevrolet agreed to provide 133 '69 Camaros decked out as festival pace cars. Of this total, 43 cars went to the Indy Committee and received a special gold Festival decal, 75 were used for the VIP fleet, five for USAC officials, and seven were for official Speedway use. Two specially prepared cars were used for the actual pacing duties, and one equipped with 396 engine, power top, and air conditioning was set aside for the eventual winner, Mario Andretti. Along with the fleet of Camaros, Chevrolet agreed to supply 16 Impala station wagons, 18 pickups, two Suburbans, and one van.
The 43 pace car replicas used for Festival activities were all equipped with 350ci engines and Turbo 350 automatic transmissions. Car No. 34 (VIN 9N609349), along with a matched set of luggage, was presented to the Festival Queen, Janet Lee Faires Kendall. Most of the remaining 85 replicas were built with 350ci engines and automatics, however a handful were equipped with 396ci big-blocks and four-speeds.
The two cars designated for actual pace duties were identical with the exception of the tires (one was equipped with Firestones, the other with Goodyears). One paced the actual start, while the other handled yellow flag pace chores. Driving duties were handled capably by former Indy 500 winner and Chevrolet dealer Jim Rathmann.
The pace cars were built at the Norwood, Ohio, assembly plant. They were specified with the L78 iron head, 375hp/396ci engine, M40 Turbo Hydra Matic transmission, power steering, sport steering wheel, AM radio, console, and gauge package.
From Norwood, the two RS/SS Camaros went to Chevrolet Engineering at the GM Tech Center in Warren, Michigan. The engines were torn down, brought up to specs, and rebuilt. To ensure trouble-free, high-rpm operation, a 63-amp alternator, pre-stretched drive belts, and self-locking, ratchet-type hose clamps were used. A heavy-duty, six-bolt COPO torque converter was installed to handle the additional high-speed torque loads. For high speed operation, the driveshaft was balanced, and a set of 3.31:1 rear gears was installed with heavy-service rear axles. High-speed braking in the pits requires strong binders, so the RPO JL8 four-wheel brake package was installed. The 14-inch rims were replaced with 15-inch Rally wheels.
External changes amounted to brackets fitted to the rear bumpers to serve as flag holders. Since the cars would be driven at speeds in excess of 120 mph, hood pins were installed and special fasteners prevented the convertible boot from flying off. A grab handle for the passenger and a two-way radio for communications with the tower were also add-on necessities.

Double Take
AMY AND ETHAN D'ABLEMONT BURNES HAVE a giant peace sign drawn on their dining room wall. It carries signatures, doodles, and well wishes from everyone who has visited the house in the past two years. The sign was created by an artist with the local nonprofit Artists for Humanity for a wine-and-peace-themed dinner party hosted by Amy, who sits on the board of advisers, and Ethan. The event was the first to be held in the couple's newly stitched-together South End row houses.
Ethan, a native Bostonian, and Amy, who grew up in New York and Delaware, met while they were both working at the Boston Renaissance Charter School. The two are deeply immersed in the city's educational system — he's a principal at the Manning School in J.P.; she does pro bono programming and community-partnership development at the South End's Joseph J. Hurley School. She also supports several arts-education groups, including AileyCamp Boston, a dance-focused day camp for middle schoolers.
Amy and Ethan share the home with their two children, Orly and Jasper, and are in the process of adopting a third, Ruth, from Ethiopia. So the dwelling must accommodate the many community events, school meetings, and kids' parties they host, as well as offer a comfortable, uncluttered place for hanging out on weekends.
When architect David Stern and interior designer Diane McCafferty, principals of Boston's Stern McCafferty, started the renovation, their instructions from the homeowners were to make it feel "open and simple yet bright and joyful."
The house, originally built in 1888, had already been through one major remodel; 11 years ago architect Andrew Guidry (who has since left Boston) opened up walls and added floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the garden. But due to a construction problem, the back wall of the top two floors eventually cracked and collapsed, forcing the d'Ablemont Burneses to relocate for two years while the work was redone by the contractor Pomeroy & Co.
Despite the drama, the homeowners got precisely the aesthetic they wanted: open and modern. So when the townhouse next door became available, they called on Stern McCafferty, which had done similar work in the neighborhood, to combine the two homes.
Stern gutted the second house and rebuilt it to match the original, adding a craft room to the garden level, a living and dining room to the first floor, an extra bedroom and a family room to the second, and a master suite to the top. "They were coming in on the heels of someone who had just created something beautiful, and they took it even further," Amy says of the new design team.

"What sweeter book to me belongs / Than Dr. Watts' book of songs?" These lines, taken from an 1836 song book (A Course of Lessons 51), refer to Isaac Watts' Divine Songs Attempted in Easy Language for the Use of Children, first published in 1715 (the amended title, Divine and Moral Songs, did not appear until 1794 (Pafford 44)). One of the most popular children's texts ever written, Divine Songs went through twenty editions in Watts' lifetime, with over six hundred known British and American editions published between 1715 and 1901 and an estimated eight million copies sold (Pafford 1-2). The first American edition was published in 1719, and elements of the text were …

Location: Oak Point Park, 2801 E. Spring Creek Parkway, Plano, TX Map It!!
If I could sum it up in one sentence: The Plano Balloon Festival is a must-see family event in the Dallas area, the sight of these balloons is just amazing!
And here's the sKoop. . .
Before I give my skoop, here are a few details from the actual website "This year mark's 32 years of Ballooning in Plano, Texas. Join in the Celebration at the InTouch Credit Union Plano Balloon Festival, a spectacular three-day event beginning at 4:00pm Friday, September 16th at Oak Point Park, 2801 E. Spring Creek Parkway, Plano, TX 75074. This weekend event offers something for everyone; entertainment on the FOX 4 community stage and KLUV main stage, Saturday evening spectacular fireworks show, special kids activities, sky divers, an enormous variety of food to tempt your taste buds, merchandise and handmade products showcased, and of course the incredible hot air balloons. The balloons will launch Friday at 6:00pm, Saturday at 7:00am and 6:00pm, and Sunday at 7:00am and 6:00pm (weather permitting)."
We have attended this 4 times now out of the 5 years we've lived here. That's how much we love this! The only time we missed was last year(and thats because I had just given birth!) This years, as mentioned above is September 16, 17 & 18th, so its just around the corner! The site of the balloons is truly magnificent! If you haven't been, you need to go and check it out. We usually go on the Saturday evening around 5pm so that we can catch the parachute team(don't want to miss that) before the actual Balloon Launch at 6pm. And then you HAVE to stay for the balloon glow. They bring all of the balloons back after their flight and light em up as its getting dark outside. If the weather isn't windy, you may even be lucky enough to get to walk around on the actual field with the balloons. Two years ago we were able to and it was so awesome to be up close to them like that while the flames were going. I'll never forget that night! And if our kids are still happy, we even stay for the fireworks at 9pm.
Tickets for admission are $5(if you go between the hours of 9am and 3pm, they are discounted at $4.) Kids under 3 ft tall are FREE (but honestly, they've never charge us for a kid under like the age of 5 ever, so you might get lucky even if your kid is taller:) Have as many kids sit in strollers as possible...is that dishonest? lol. Bring chairs, blankets & a stroller if you need one.
A note about parking: You can park offsite for $5 or onsite for $10. PAY THE EXTRA FIVE BUCKS AND PARK PRIME! Or you will seriously be walking miles. I mean, if you love to walk in the heat of the Dallas summer toting your kids and your gear while you want to die, then by all means do it. Cheap out. But for us, it is sooo worth paying the extra money to be up close. Even with prime parking, you still gotta good walk! Also note to give yourself extra time to arrive and actually get there and seated. The traffic in the area is crazy when the festival is going on. Bumper to bumper sometimes just to get parked. So allow an extra half hour when you go to be on the safe side(you don't want to miss something!) and plan accordingly, that includes the traffic, parking & walking.
There are kids activities, shows, music & food but honestly the area where that is all going on is pretty crowded so we don't hang out over there too long. Its kinda madness. We do enjoy watching the Elvis impersonator dude though. He is just plain awesome:)
mysKoop TIPS: Bring the BEST camera you own for some spectacular photos! My husband has gotten some beautiful shots. Bring snacks and drinks(water is a must!). Pack a dinner if you want to save some money-there are lots of vendors with food like corn dogs, bbq sandwiches, overpriced carnival-style food but we usually either eat dinner before we go or pack lots of food. But we do at least buy a couple of funnel cakes because, well, we just loooove funnel cakes :) And like I said above, the prime parking is worth the extra five dollars. I promise. Do it. And thank me later.
kidsKoop: Aubrey, age 9,"I love it when we go and see the balloons. That one time we were able to run around in the middle of them was awesome!"
hubsKoop: "Awesome photo ops. The balloon festival is something we definitely look forward to every year."
And finally here are pics from a few of our visits. I couldn't narrow them down to only 3 or 4! I've included balloon launch, parachuting, balloon glow(a little blurry but you can see we were right there on the field with them!) & the Elvis dude. He just cracks us up. Enjoy...

Give him credit for this: Maryland's top lawyer knows how to articulate the crucial question. Asked by The Baltimore Sun's Erin Cox and Michael Dresser about a photo showing him standing in the middle of a wild high school party in a rented Delaware house this summer, he said, "Assume for the purposes of discussion that there was widespread drinking at the party. How is that relevant to me? ... The question is, do I have any moral authority over other people's children at beach week in another state?"
He answers no, and doubtless many parents of teenagers might agree with him. Other parents might come to the opposite conclusion. Inadvertently, Mr. Gansler's campaign for governor is now forced to grapple with a part of Maryland culture that we tend to avoid discussing: Just what do we think is going on when we send thousands of newly minted high school graduates to the beach every summer, and how do we square that with our responsibility as parents? Because of his role, Mr. Gansler may be displaying a particularly obvious and inconvenient form of hypocrisy, but it is a hypocrisy that is shared by thousands of Maryland parents every year.

Living in the trees may be the secret to longevity – in the evolutionary long run, at least. Tree-dwelling mammals live nearly twice as long as their ground-bound cousins.
Evolutionary biologists have long predicted that natural selection should favour extending the lifespan of animals that live relatively safe lifestyles. And in fact, birds and bats, whose ability to fly helps them escape from predators, do have particularly long lives.
Like fliers, tree-dwelling mammals can easily escape many predators. To see if this might also help them live longer, biological anthropologists Milena Shattuck and Scott Williams at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign gathered data on the lifespans of 776 species representing all the major groups of mammals. They discovered that the maximum lifespans of tree-dwellers were almost twice those of terrestrial species of similar sizes.
It is well established that larger mammals tend to live longer than smaller ones. The kinkajou (pictured), however, is clearly not aware of this: it is a tree-living relative of the racoon and it lives longer than the tiger, even though it is just 1/40th the size.
The team is now setting its sights on burrowing mammals, to see if life underground also reduces risk and so ultimately extends the lifespans of those species.

A Girls Touch: Crafting a Chic Living Space in Just 43 sqm
It is amazing how some people can take a seemingly cramped space and turn it into a perfectly good and even astoundingly beautiful living space. This fine home in Gothenburg uses the limited space on offer to the hilt and yet never looks crowded or overdone at any point. The feminine-looking home uses subtly demarcated areas by fitting a bed in a hidden corner of the living room, a cool kitchen with integrated dining space and a sink. The use of three different colors of wallpapers with lovely prints not only accentuates the beauty of the home further, but clearly defines each given space. With modern and ergonomic furniture use and with creative decorating, the 43 square meters on offer look amply sufficient. Isn't it? – via

I LOVE the pops of color on the walls–the pink especially, for bringing life into the rooms!

great for single or college students.
absolutely stunning.
very well designed, perfect for the current times of recession…
no need for a large place or fancy furniture!
one thought….where is the bathroom? would like to see that!
Well done. You have created a cozy bedroom alcove out of your
public space. It's almost private.
Merri you can see the bathroom in the original post here: http://www.delikatissen.com/2009/03/06/femenino-y-delicado-en-43-m²/
Amazing how beautiful a small space can be. Would love to see a plan of this apartment.
