Good Evening,
A follow-up to Reid's comment above: I have on occasion, put film in my Chromega drum but not processed it immediately. Even after a several-day interval, light leakage has never been a problem at all. I would not, however, deliberately leave a loaded drum in a sunny location for any extended period of time. I wonder if the Beseler drum light leakage could occur simply because the pouring spout is left facing upward toward any room light source(s); perhaps facing it downward would alleviate any problem.

Tel Aviv
Tel Aviv Travel Guide
As one of Israel's most lively cities, there really is no shortage of things to do in Tel Aviv and for this reason, the city has earned a reputation as being open 24 hours a day (except for the Sabbath, of course).
Start your trip off with a day spent in the charming city of Jaffa, which is the "old city" section of Tel Aviv and served as a major port of the ancient world. Admire centuries-old stonework, dip into a hookah bar for an afternoon smoke and wander along the cobblestone streets that run along the Jaffa port.
Back in Tel Aviv proper, be sure to visit the ever-bustling Carmel Market where tourists can get everything from cheesy souvenirs to rare spices and authentic foodstuffs. From there, head to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, founded in 1932 by the city's first mayor, and see the work of local and international artists or go on a free morning tour of the city's extensive Bauhaus architecture, which is admired worldwide.
And before you go, leave your mark on the city in the Florentine neighborhood, often described as Israel's version of Williamsburg or Portland. Browse art galleries, throw back an Israeli beer and feel free to purchase a few cans of spray-paint and leave your own tag: Graffiti is legal in the neighborhood. And finally, be sure to rent a bike through the Tel Aviv's Tel-o-Fun bike share if you're wondering what to do in Tel Aviv. The breezy ride along the boardwalk is one you won't soon forget.
Israeli restaurants and wineries set up booths in Hayarkan Park to showcase delicacies in the annual Taste of Tel Aviv festival.
Vintage hunters will swoon over this spacious boutique filled with restored furniture by Midcentury masters, including Eames, Nelson, and Aalto. Don't miss the 1950's-era Israeli items—from Hebrew-language globes to kibbutz-style chairs.
Where a medieval-looking portal leads to an invitingly gloomy space.
At Israeli artist Ayala Serfaty's 2010-opened shop, you'll find a selection of ottomans and chairs covered in velvet or Lycra and in organic shapes—bubbles; poufs.
The latest addition to the Tel Aviv art scene.
Where the celebrated Inbal and Batsheva dance companies are based.
Talents Design showcases works by such up-and-coming Israeli designers as Dor Carmon. Best finds: orchid-shaped couches and earthy stone tables.
A chic retail and gallery space.
Alternately plays host to classical quartets and hip-hop parties.
Housed in a former train station, Made in TLV stocks a sleek range of design books, tabletop pieces, candles, and photographs.
Run by siblings Nimrod Zaltsman and hilla Wenkert, six-month-old olive oil boutique, Olia, stocks regionally sourced products such as olive tapenade infused with Parmesan cheese.

If you want authentic Mexican this is the place. Tony will bring it out the way you want it. The margarita is worth the price. Don't let the building fool you it's clean and the best on the coast. For lunch or dinner a must stop on your list.
With many ho-hum Mexican places popping up around the coast, it's so nice to have an authentic Mexican restaurant close by.
The guacamole is REAL avacados, not the mix some other places use. The margartas are the best on the coast.
Yes, the salsa is HOT - but that's why I love it. The enchaladas suizas are so amazing. Have...
Neighborhood dive that consistently offers strong margaritas, hot and well prepared Mexican dishes and spot on friendly service
I have been a patron for over 30 plus years. Love that the salsa is hot and not something you can get at every other Mexican place. The chili is my favorite. In a bowl or on their great enchiladas. Tony knows what we want and starts the cheese dip as soon as we walk through the door. A must...
Been dining here for years. When you've had a particularly tough day and in need of a mood change and are unable to fly to Colorado, Tony's top shelf margarita may just be the answer. The offerings from the kitchen also consistently measure up - enchilada verdes, especially. Dishes always served hot and service friendly.
We visited on a Sat evening. No problem sitting, there weren't many people there. Nice character inside, nice decor. The food was good, the margaritas were good. I thought it a little expensive. Staff and waiter were extremely friendly.
The dip is way too hot. The food is average to poor. The owner charged us for more Margaritas than we drank on TWO occasions!! Never again!!
I enjoyed a margarita and dinner here. The margarita was tasty, not overly sweet. The dinner consisted of a variety of traditional items, each hot and tasty. Our server was on top of everything, busy but still friendly. Overall a nice experience.
LOVE this place, go at least once a week! Best margaritas and shredded beef burrito. I like Tex Mex, but this place puts out the best margarita and burrito ever. You will be hooked. Very casual atmosphere, not fancy, but that is part of the charm.
To many Mexican restaurants fit that cookie cutter mold, but this place doesn't. When you first find it, don't turn away because of the exterior. The building may be a little worn outside, but inside is friendly and comfortable. This place is a treasure. Food: Spectacular! Everything seemed to have that made-from-scratch taste, from the salsa to the beans to...

15 Music Artists to Watch in 2013
Because this holiday classic — written by the same guy that penned the perhaps-a-little-too-playful date-rape anthem "Baby It's Cold Outside" — is 65 years old, yet flexible enough to sound thoroughly modern in 2012. Bonus: By opting for the duet configuration, it doubles as an excellent showcase for The Head and the Hearts's underutilized all-too-secret weapon: singer and violinist Charity Rose Thielen.
Because his excitement for New Year's seems inspired by having plowed through a lousy Christmas. We've all been there.

Write a review to be in with a chance of winning a $130 voucher to spend on ProBikeKit
Just purchased and mounted this new saddle. I have wider than usual ischial tuberosities (sit bones) so finding a saddle that is not only wide enough, but also has a flatter profile across the back is important. I must say I have been please so far with this saddle after about 450 km. The large perineal cutout does relieve discomfort in that area. I do find that with some bib shorts, however, depending on the shape and style of the chamois, that there can be some pressure points at the edge of the cutout, but this is generally not an issue. Quality of manufacture is the usual high grade expected for Selle Italia. I have owned and raced on several SI saddles over the years (Max Gel Flow, Trans Am, etc.) and this one is not only light, but pretty comfortable. Hopefully it will prove to be as durable as my previous saddles. The leather cover is very supple and I imagine it may not take much abuse (e.g. abrasion) but that is definitely not a reason to avoid this saddle. I should add that it is also one of the lightest saddles I have used. Another plus.

Diego Maradona has denied reports he is set to quit as Argentina coach, insisting his comments have been misinterpreted. There had been speculation the 48-year-old would resign, following his announcement that he would meet with Argentina Football Association president Julio Grondona and would only continue if certain terms are met.
However, Maradona, who only took over a year ago, claims his words have been twisted by the press. "I'm not giving up nor am I going. I never said I could resign," Maradona told a press conference.
I'm not giving up nor am I going. I never said I could resign. The day I have to leave I will say.
"I'm asking the press for a bit of respect. I only said that after the qualifiers I had to meet with Julio Grondona to talk about what happened during the whole of this year.
"It was you who said about resigning. I had to organise a meeting with the players to tell them that this wasn't true, because a journalist told (Martin) Demichelis and he asked me afterwards.
"The day I have to leave I will say. I could at this moment have been smoking a cigar rather than talking to you. I did it because I respect your work and because it's my work."
One of his chief gripes is thought to be with technical director Carlos Bilardo. The pair reportedly barely speak to each other, with Maradona unhappy at the former Argentina coach's interference in team affairs.
Argentina go into Saturday's 2010 FIFA World Cup South AfricaTM qualifier against Peru on a run of four defeats in their last five games, and currently lie in the play-off position in the South American Zone.

Vilanova confident of strong showing
Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova says his team will be competitive against Benfica on Wednesday despite missing several senior players.
Vilanova has chosen to rest the likes of Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas for matchday six, but he claimed Barca will still be trying to win and deny their Portuguese opponents a chance of reaching the knockout stages.
Barca are already through to the last 16, with Benfica and Celtic vying for second spot.
"We will present a competitive team. It's an important game because we are still representing the club," he said.
"It's the Champions League and there are teams that are still playing for qualification.
"It's a Champions League match and we will try to make the best of it. A Champions League match is always important."
The match could see Lionel Messi surpass Gerd Muller's record for goal-scoring in a calendar year, after he took his tally to 84 strikes for club and country in 2012 in the 5-1 win against Athletic Bilbao.
And Vilanova said the Argentina captain is raring to go as he chases yet another landmark moment in his remarkable career.
"Leo rested last week against Alaves in the cup but he always wants to play and where better than in this environment," he said.
"I'm excited for him to play and for us it is always better."
David Villa completed his return from injury with his first full 90 minutes for the first team against Alaves on Wednesday, but Vilanova refused to say if the striker would get another full match under his belt against Jorge Jesus' side.
"He looks good," Vilanova said.
"He only played a full match once and he is still not quite fully fit. During the minutes that he has played he has done well and has scored goals.
"During the year there many matches and he is a very important player for us."

Residential Development
Heritage Parc by McCloy Group
The winner of this year's Residential Development category was Heritage Parc by McCloy Group.
Heritage Parc is a 450 lot residential development located within the Local Government Area of Maitland. Stage One comprises 51 home-sites (ranging from 536m2 to 1,153m2), a display village, three parks including a children's playground; netball and basketball courts; a soccer pitch, cycleway and an outdoor art gallery.
This project has been designed in a way that not only accommodates the constraints of the site but also promotes the attributes of the site. Constraints include the adjacent industrial premises to the north and west and the Great Northern Railway to the south.
Extensive buffers have been established to mitigate the impact of these constraints together with landscape sound mounds and acoustic walls that have all been established up front prior to the release of the first block of land.
Given the prior use of the site as a golf course, the natural topography of the land and its extensive waterways are important assets considered as key design components of the estate.
These assets are highlighted as you enter the estate with the expanse of water visible along the entry road and also as you travel around the main collector road.
Internally the site is also well connected via a main road and a series of off-road cycleways.
On top of this, the estate boasts 11 parks that have been positioned throughout the estate to provide for a variety of activities for future residents.
More about Heritage Parc.
The judges awarded a Commendation to Bunya by UrbanGrowth NSW.
With views to the Blue Mountains, this sustainable new residential community is located in the epicentre of Western Sydney. Its proximity to Doonside Railway Station and Doonside Public School means the development can support higher residential densities in comparison to surrounding suburbs. UrbanGrowth NSW responded by providing a mix of detached and semi-detached Torrens title properties.
Bunya's urban form encourages strong visual connections to the adjacent parklands, providing green corridors and east-west riparian corridors as public open space.
Lot sales began in February 2011, and 754 lots have been delivered to date. The project's success can be attributed to a focus on commercial, environmental and social considerations including a pricing strategy that caters to first home buyers and young families.
Water sensitive urban design principles and best-practice environmental planning and design were employed throughout the project, adding another crucial dimension to this development. When complete, Bunya will accommodate 820 new homes and 3000 residents.

It seems Vashu Bhagnani considers Arshad Warsi as his lucky mascot. After roping in the actor for "F.A.L.T.U", the producer asked him to play a cameo in his new film "Ajab Gazabb Love".
"F.A.L.T.U" featured Bhagnani's son Jackky, and the movie's songs became quite popular.
Vashu believes Arshad's presence in the film was lucky for them. So he didn't think twice about getting Arshad on board for "Ajab Gazabb Love", a romantic comedy, even if for a small part.
Arshad, who shares a very good rapport with the producer, his team and Jackky, made it a point to visit the sets of the film from time to time, even after his bit of the film was shot.

Before the first European settlers arrived, the Comanche as well as several other Native American tribes lived in Cibolo. The name Cibolo means "buffalo" in[which?]Native American language and in the Old Spanish used in North America.

Kai McDonough loved the snow. He found solitude in walking through freshly fallen drifts and wonderment in watching the flakes drifting silently to earth, catching one on his tongue. When it snowed, all sound was muted and the air was crisp and clear and pristine. The cold didn't bother him. He reveled in it. His heart soared at the sight of branches laden with white crystals that turned the tree into a fairyland wonder. It was in the winter that he felt the most alive.
Picking his way carefully along the ridge, he glanced down at the immaculate beauty that spread out below him. The warm-brown tint of his sunglasses gave sharp detail and depth as the polarized poly lens killed the glare. He needed that, for as far as the eye could see the ground was covered in a lush, fluffy blanket of snow. The sky overheard was a vibrant, vivid blue and the air carried on it an ozone scent that was sharp to the nostrils. Tall pines, spruce and aspen, were draped with a mantle of snowy white and the lake about a hundred yards east of his property was frozen solid, Canadian geese skating playfully across its mirrored surface.
Muffled in a thick Spanish merino shearling parka with a substantial wool scarf wrapped around his neck, dark hair protected beneath a black watch cap nestled within the ample hood of the parka, his hands encased in cashmere lined lambskin gloves and his feet protected by fur-lined mukluk boats, he was toasty warm as he climbed the gentle slopes that formed the northern boundary of his Black Hills ranch.
He rolled his shoulders, for he had not adequately adjusted the load he was carrying in his backpack. The shoulder straps and hip belt were pinching and for the amount of money he'd paid for the hauler, he was not a happy camper--no pun intended. Inside the main compartment he carried a sleeping bag, spare clothes, food, and various other items that would allow him to spend a night or two in one of the caves to which he was trekking. One of the items was a personal cooking system that weighed a bit more than he would have liked. It added to the discomfort he was experiencing at that moment but just knowing he had an Isobutane canister to prepare his meals had seemed worth it when he bought it.
As he stood there with the cold wind blowing over his chilled face, he could imagine himself to be a hardy pioneer seeing this terrain for the first time. He fancied no human foot had ever stepped upon this virgin ledge and mentally he was claiming it for his own. Had it not been for the communications gear in his backpack--the personal locator beacon with an internal GPS receiver, the Smartphone with its graphics-driven video games, and the laptop computer with two fully charged spare batteries--he might have been able to believe he truly was conquering the wilderness.
Continuing on up the slope, he spied white tail deer scampering down in the meadow amidst a dozen or so wild turkeys. A lone raccoon waddled from beneath a pine to disappear over a small rise. Since he wasn't a hunter and didn't allow poachers on his property, the animals seemed to know he was no threat to him. For the most part, they ignored him. Deer came right up to his back porch, enjoyed the salt block he provided, and there were always turkey tracks and bobcat prints around his woodshed out back. One set of tracks he was fairly sure belonged to a black bear and that was one of the reasons he carried a stun gun as well as a large knife in his gear when he went hiking.
Getting a bit of a headache, hearing his stomach rumbling, he was relieved to spy the cave entrance that he wanted to investigate. It was a few hundred yards farther up the slope and examining the untouched snow on the path between him and the cave, he hoped he wouldn't be running into a hibernating ursine with a taste for horror writers.
"Especially not ones with a severe case of writer's block," he mumbled to himself.
That was partially why he had decided to pull out his backpack, load it up, and strike out for a bit of solitude away from the almost daily phone calls from his agent who was beginning to hound him unmercifully for the next book in his Demon Sired series. That and the not-so-friendly breakup with his girlfriend of five years who had--with a viciousness that stunned him--given him an ultimatum of either fishing or cutting bait where their relationship was concerned, had piled depression on nerves already raw with frustration over not being able to concentrate enough to put word to screen.
So he had struck out that morning for the wilds of the slopes beyond his elaborate log cabin and the solitude he was in such desperate need to find.
Once at the entrance to the cave, he shrugged off the backpack and laid it in the snow, bending down to retrieve the flashlight. Flicking it on, he ducked under the low overhang and ventured inside.
As he knew it would be, the cave was pitch black with only the small shallow arc of daylight flooding into its entrance. As he played the flashlight beam over the walls, Kai realized the chamber was much larger than he would have guessed and that the walls were smooth and not craggy as he would have expected. Frowning, he went over to the nearest surface and ran his gloved hand over it. The face was as slick as a pane of glass and just as reflective as a mirror.
"Weird," he pronounced, moving around the circular room. It almost felt as though the chamber had been bored out with some huge drill turning at super high speed in a one hundred and eighty degree arc. There was a long tunnel off the main chamber that seemed to go on forever, the beam from the flashlight disappearing into inky darkness.
Underfoot, the ground was covered with sandstone clay and silt and chip breakdown consisting of irregular limestone fragments. But walking back toward the tunnel, Kai realized the ground appeared almost to have been raked, for it was much smoother than any cave floor he'd ever seen.
"Really weird," he said with emphasis.
Yet there were no footprints in the soil areas. The sediment under foot did not look as though it had been disturbed for a very long time and Kai breathed a little easier, hoping the cave was not home to something with jagged teeth and a voracious appetite.
In the distance he could hear the plink-plink-plink of water dripping and echoing back through the tunnel. The skirl of bats reverberated back to him also, which seemed odd, as well. Going back for his backpack, he decided there had to be a fair-sized grotto somewhere off the tunnel and he would cautiously seek it out. Holding the flashlight between his knees, hating to strap the backpack on again for his left shoulder felt raw from the rubbing of the strap, he sighed and swung it up, settled it a bit more comfortably on his back this time. When he had it the way he wanted it, he reached down for the flashlight and headed for the tunnel.
Attentive ears pricked at the muffled sound of approach. Keen eyes peered unblinkingly into the darkness. Sensitive nostrils flared at the intoxicating scent hovering just beneath the surface.
"One comes!"
The silent energy thought flew from one eager mind to another until all were aware and they began to gather.
A sniff of the air. A turn of an inquisitive head. Scrutiny.
"Male." That one word flowed like warm honey--sweet and achingly tasteful--among them.
The tunnel seemed to go on forever and with every step he took, Kai became even more intrigued. Above him and to both sides the tunnel was as slick and smooth as the cavern had been and as straight as an arrow. He couldn't shake the feeling that something massive and sharp had cut a swath through the hill. The walls were too uniform in their smoothness, the ground under foot too free of obstruction to believe nature had carved such perfection.
Stopping again to adjust the backpack, he thought he heard furtive movement ahead and stilled, cocking his ear toward the sound but after several moments of intense listening, all he detected was the steady dripping of water. Around him, the flashlight beam sent arcs of illumination on the polished rock and reflected them back at him in a dizzying array of colors.
Continuing on, he realized the air around him was getting warmer. He knew the median temperature range within the cave systems of the Black Hills was 53 degrees but it seemed much warmer than that. The air touching his face was almost humid.
When he'd checked the weather before leaving that morning, it had been 37 degrees in Hot Springs with snow on the way to add to the four inches already on the ground. He shot his arm out to check the time and was surprised to see he'd been gone from his home for nearly two hours.
"How can that be?" he asked aloud and began walking a bit faster.
"Vigorous!" It was perceived with glee.
"Healthy!" Satisfaction came.
"Alone..." The word hung suspended then drifted away on a long sigh.
The energy thoughts wafted on the swirling eddies of the heated air. As one, they moved--touching mind to mind and limb to limb, gathering power.
He felt the slight shifting beneath his feet and looked down, pointing the beam of the flashlight at the cave floor. When the shifting came again, he took a cautious step back.
"What the hell...?"
Those were the last words out of his mouth before the ground opened up and he dropped like a rock through the floor, the loose chip breakdown closing over the opening almost as quickly as it had occurred. A ripple shifted back along the tunnel floor and when it stopped, there was no evidence that Kai McDonough had ever trailed the path.

The Space
This one-bedroom space comes with a large bedroom with a queen-size bed, a living room with a sofa bed that sleeps two, and a full bath with a tub/shower off the bedroom. The fully-equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, gas range/oven, microwave, refrigerator and a dining table for four. Laundry is available in our home upon request (free). The apartment 879 square feet so you will not feel cramped!
We live in a great neighborhood, centrally located with great public transportation. The apartment is on the bottom floor/basement of a Victorian House off of Fillmore Street, one of the chic San Francisco neighborhoods close to parks, restaurants, wine bars and coffee shops, boutiques, markets, and many bus lines (1, 2, 3, 22, and 38) and downtown San Francisco. We are also close to San Francisco's live music district, including the Fillmore Auditorium and many jazz clubs. Entry is through our garage. We have a dog who lives upstairs in our home above the apartment. The apartment is pet free.
There is no cleaning fee for 3-day stays and longer. We charge an additional $25 for guest stays of 2 nights, payable upon arrival (cash or paypal)
There is free neighborhood parking, which is generally easy except during weekend evenings or if there is an event on Fillmore St. However, please be aware of the 2-hour parking limit Monday to Friday from 9AM to 6PM, as well as street sweeping per the posted signs. Also, when you park in our neighborhood (and San Francisco in general) you should curb your wheels to avoid a ticket, which you are subject to when parking on any grade 3% or more. Curbing your wheels means turning your wheels in such a way that if your car were to lose its brakes, it would roll into the curb. There is a public parking garage at Japan Center two blocks away that charges approximately $22/day.
Finally, please contact me before you request a reservation. There is a pending house renovation project next door and the city allows this work from 7:30AM to 5:00PM. I want to ensure you are comfortable and have a pleasant stay with us, so I need to know a bit about your party. It is also helpful to me if you create a personal profile on the Airbnb site.
Apartment is separate with a private entrance through our garage. You have your own key and are free to come and go as you please. We live upstairs. Guests have access to our laundry facilities upstairs.
We personally greet all guests, leave SF guidebooks for them, and are happy to answer questions about San Francisco.
Lots of bus lines service our neighborhood, making it easy to get to Fisherman's Wharf, downtown, The Mission, and just about anywhere else in town. No car necessary! It's also safe and quiet at night.
No smoking is permitted. Rest assured we don't hear you if you are up in the middle of the night as we sleep two floors above the apartment. We have a terrier dog who lives upstairs, but not in the apartment.

This place is awesome, clean and comfortable. It's just like a hotel.
We enjoyed our one-week stay here and recommend it. Check-in was super easy: Cinzia was very responsive via txt and Airbnb msgs on the day of check-in. Even though the entrance to the unit is through the garage door, we could not hear the garage door opening/closing while we were in the unit when the host family got their cars in or out.
The unit is as nice as the pictures! It was furnished well, unlike some rentals that only have unwanted furniture. The bed was comfortable and bathroom new and clean and cute. It is really spacious for a couple. The kitchen had basics like oil, spatulas, utensils, dishes, glasses, which was great for getting groceries and making small meals and snacks. The overhead lighting is good if you need to read or work. The WiFi was reliable. My spouse had to work from 'home' a few days, and it is a very pleasant space. It's a dream space for SF: spacious and cozily decorated.
Although I thought it was a basement unit, it's actually a ground floor unit so it has a window to let in some outside light. (Keep in mind this is SF, so on gray days, there isn't much light anywhere in the city.) The host happily provided an additional blanket upon request. (The week we stayed was even colder than usual for a SF summer.)
The neighborhood is so so convenient. Fillmore and surroundings had everything we needed and wanted. Restaurants, shops, cafes, groceries. I followed Cinzia's rec and took everything out of the car and found street parking easily with no problems. (She cautioned me that leaving things in the car and street parking can lead to broken windows. I appreciated that insight.) Also, there is convenient paid parking in Japantown.
Since I didn't want to bother the host and ask about laundry, I found a public laundromat on Yelp not too far away next to the Safeway. It has a parking lot, and it was convenient since we stayed for a week and needed fresh clothes. I bought some groceries while waiting for my load to finish.
Tip: although there is no city noise from the street nor garage noise when the cars goes in and out, since this unit is below a house, you can hear the sounds of the upstairs unit, i.e., footfalls of pet paws and shoes on hardwood floor going up and down stairs, voices, chairs being pulled in and out. My spouse would just roll over and go back to sleep. If you are a light sleeper, just pick up a pair of earplugs at the corner pharmacy so that the upper house sounds don't wake you in the morning. (Note: this wasn't a problem, but just a tip for some travelers.)
I highly recommend Cinzia and her place and hope to stay here again in the future.
My husband and I visited San Francisco for the first time in May 2015 and stayed at Cinzia and Steve's apartment. It was a wonderful experience in every regard. The apartment is lovely- high-end furnishings, decorations, and appliances are in all 3 rooms. It was spotlessly clean. The location is ideal and convenient- a very short walk from restaurants of every cuisine, and boutiques of clothing, jewelry, gifts, and art abound. Located in Pacific Heights, it is a perfect location to view the many Victorian homes in the area, not just, but certainly including, the Painted Ladies.
Most importantly, it was our pleasure to become acquainted with our hosts, Cinzia and Steve. They welcomed us with a bottle of wine, were immediately available for any questions we had, and even offered to do our laundry. We hope to return to northern California again, and hope also to be able to stay at this lovely apartment. 5 stars!
Departamento muy prolijo y bien ubicado. Líneas de buses a 100 mts. Muy recomendable.
I would like to thank Cinzia and Steve for being perfect hosts. The location of there place is great for everyone, tourist or non-tourist. There apartment has everything you need and more.
My Girlfriend and I arrived late on Saturday and could not have been happier with the communication and professionalization of Steve and Cinzia. Upon arrival the living space was clean and tidy and even though we were new to San Francisco, they were grateful to providing local eateries and friendly advice. The space is quiet and accessible, with lots of room (living room, full kitchen, bedroom, and full bathroom). If you want to cook and save money on meals the space is perfect.We both really enjoyed our stay and recommend these hosts to anyone in the future. It made an already good vacation great.
I was in town for work and was primarily in the office and only met Cinzia and Steve briefly. Upon arrival they were very gracious and accommodating. The apartment is a generous size, clean and the bed is very comfortable! The location is perfect for dining, exploring and walking. This is a great apartment for ease, safety, location and hospitality.

Tyler Seguin Feels 'Incredible,' Admits 'Words Can't Describe' Feeling of Playing With Teammates Again (Video)
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 1/7/13
Tyler Seguin was always planning on his return to Boston around this time. He only hoped that he would be playing hockey with the Bruins then. Luckily, the forward's timing was spot-on, with the B's holding an informal practice on Monday after a tentative agreement between the players and owners to end the lockout. While speaking with reporters after the practice, Seguin stressed the importance of having a solid training camp as the Bruins prepare for the upcoming season, noting how the shorter nature of the year will make a slow start difficult to overcome. To see what else Seguin had to say after practice, check out the video below.

What's New
The Nova Scotia Health Research Foundation was recently named as one of the Best Places to Work in Atlantic Canada. This ninth annual program was created by Progress magazine and Best Companies Group. This survey and awards program was designed to identify, recognize and honor the best employers in Atlantic Canada, benefiting the region's economy, workforce and businesses. The list is made up of 31 companies.
"The reason we are on this list is our team, there is none better." - Krista Connell, NSHRF CEO
To be considered for participation, companies had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:
- Be a for-profit, not-for-profit business or government entity;
- Be a publicly or privately held business;
- Have a facility in the Atlantic Canada region;
- Have a minimum of 15 employees in the Atlantic Canada region;
- Be in business a minimum of 1 year.
Companies from across the region entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Places to Work in Atlantic Canada. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Atlantic Canada, analyzed the data and determined the final rankings.
NSHRF will be recognized and honored at the Best Places to Work in Atlantic Canada awards ceremony coordinated by Progress magazine on June 5 and will be profiled in a special publication by Progress magazine in Vol.22 No.04 (distribution in June).

Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker kept his foot to the floor on outsourcing as a solution to the county's financial woes, in his annual "state of the county" speech Tuesday.
Walker called for privatizing courthouse security, airport operations and park maintenance - all ideas that he's broached before but that were rejected by the County Board. With the lingering recession and more pressing fiscal problems, Walker said he hoped the privatization plans get a better reception this year.
"We will continue to streamline county government by contracting out for services, consolidating departments and enhancing the use of technology," he said.
Walker also said he would propose a property tax levy reduction for 2011.
"Simply freezing taxes at current levels will not be enough to turn our economy around," Walker said at TAPCO, a Brown Deer firm.
Walker's eight budgets have each proposed tax levies at the same level approved the prior year. He has described that as a freeze, while critics note he regularly has embraced increases approved by the County Board for his budgets for the following years.
In the fall Walker proposed a $257.6 million levy for 2010, up $38 million from his first budget in 2003.
Walker did not say how much he'll propose cutting the levy in his next budget, which comes out in September. That puts it in the midst of the 2010 race for governor. Walker is a Republican candidate for that office.
His support for additional privatizations follows a long-term effort in that area, with mixed success. The county executive called for outsourcing courthouse security in his 2010 budget, but that was rejected by the County Board. Walker succeeded in winning privatization of county janitorial services this year, a move Walker said would save $2.6 million.
Airport proposal revisited
In the speech, Walker said outsourcing makes economic sense, particularly in tough times. While short on detail, Walker said privatizing airport operations could enable the county to "actually turn a profit and use the revenue to pay down debt." He also said the money from an airport privatization could be used to help pay for the county's bus system without increasing the property tax.
Walker is opposed to a half-cent increase in the county sales tax for transit, a route favored by a majority of the County Board.
He sought but failed to win County Board support for a study on airport privatization for 2009, and he didn't address the issue in his 2010 budget. He has said the county could collect $500 million or more for issuing a long-term lease for airport operations to a private firm.
In an interview, Walker said he would propose hiring a consultant this year to advise the county on privatizing the airport.
Three county supervisors attending Walker's speech said they remained opposed. Supervisors Johnny Thomas, Christopher Larson and Theo Lipscomb said it would be unwise for the county to entrust one of its prime assets to private firms. They warned that fees for a variety of services at the airport would likely be increased.
Supervisor Joe Sanfelippo backs airport outsourcing. He said winning board assent would be difficult, but the tough economic times might help sway some skeptics.
Walker claimed credit for sparking a debate about reorganizing county government. Change is necessary and no cost-saving idea should be rejected out of hand, he said.
His previous comments on blowing up county government have been more pointed. But Walker said he'd still prefer to see all the services now provided by the county turned over to the state and municipalities. He also has backed creation of new special districts, perhaps for parks and transit, if overall taxes don't rise.
Much of Walker's speech focused on accomplishments of his tenure as county executive, a job he first won in a 2002 special election after the county pension scandal. He listed as successes a 20% reduction in the county workforce; issuance of pension bonds; placement of the House of Correction under Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr.; and a national award for park management.
Concessions cut deficit
Walker gave one specific nod to the County Board, saying he's pleased it partly went along with his demand for wage and benefit concessions for county employees. The 2010 budget freezes pay, imposes unpaid furlough days, limits overtime and shifts some benefit costs to employees. While those changes are in force for the 15% of the county's workers who are nonunion, the concessions still must be bargained with the eight county unions.
Walker claimed credit for cutting the county's structural deficit by $50 million this year. That figure assumes the concessions will be adopted for all union workers.
The county executive spoke in front of a blowup of a check to county taxpayers for $200 million - representing four years' worth of savings from concessions.
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, who attended Walker's speech, said he would have liked Walker to say more about job creation, which Barrett said he'll emphasize in his Democratic campaign for governor. Barrett is expected to schedule his "state of the city" address for sometime in February.
Lee Bergquist of the Journal Sentinel staff contributed to this report.

Curiosity killed the cat, but evolved the human.
I'm originally from Portugal, but was born in England, and lived in Canada, Brasil, and Saudi Arabia. Came to Pasadena, CA to do my PhD 19 years ago, and it's too sunny to leave (even compared to Portugal!). For fun, I am currently taking piano lessons at PCC (absolutely fantastic way to learn!!! 3rd semester and still going strong!). I like to go surfing on the weekends, as well as walks along the Arroyo. I also enjoy painting (after 5 classes from Intro Drawing to Head Drawing and Head Painting at the ArtCenter), but haven't done it in a while. I do love to go to art galleries and exhibits. I also practice Tai Chi and Qi Gong meditation. I love science, in particular neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and quantum physics. My PhD was in Computational Neuroscience, and I am currently having a lot of fun developing a sensory substitution device that enables someone who is blind to "see with sound". I also like to keep up with current affairs, and try to maintain an understanding of what's happening throughout the world. I believe the world is an amazing place with a million things to do and discover, and I want to find someone that I can love and share that world with. I'm looking for someone who is similarly curious about everything under the sun, enjoys the outdoors, and believes that cuddling is a key ingredient to happiness. --/-- I just rejoined June 30 2012!!! It's summer, the days are long! Let's go for a walk in the Arroyo, the Huntington Gardens, or a concert at the Levitt Pavilion!

A trade group representing Detroit automakers and Toyota Motor Corp. plans to pledge support for requiring brake override systems and vehicle "black boxes" on all new vehicles as Congress develops new safety improvements following Toyota's large recalls.
Toyota's recall of more than 8 million vehicles around the globe to fix faulty accelerator pedals and brake problems with Prius hybrids has prompted the first major changes to auto safety requirements since the Bridgestone/Firestone Inc. tire recalls in 2000.
Congress is pushing the auto industry to meet new safety standards and impose tougher penalties on car companies that fail to quickly report safety defects to the government. The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which represents General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota and others, said in a preview of its testimony that it would support vehicle brake override standards.
