Gang makes Escondido family want to flee
But Habitat for Humanity rules make leaving complicated
ESCONDIDO The Gillies were chasing the dream of homeownership and looked forward to peace and harmony when they moved into a Habitat for Humanity subdivision in east Escondido seven years ago.
Instead, the family says they've watched a SWAT team sweep into the neighborhood, been intimidated by gang members, found guns in their yard and seen stolen cars repeatedly show up on their cul-de-sac.
"We shouldn't have to deal with auto theft, drug dealing and constant intimidation of the school children," Gina Gillie said this week from her home on Milane Lane, near Ash Street and Lincoln Avenue. "I don't feel safe here at all."
Unlike most families facing similar neighborhood problems, the Gillies and their two children can't move away easily because the federal government and Habitat subsidized their home purchase.
Another complication is that the Gillies are upside down on the unusual mortgage they received from Habitat, a nonprofit that builds homes for low-income families nationwide. The Gillies bought one of the seven homes in the subdivision in 2006 before property values plummeted in the real estate crash.
The Gillies say an alternative would be ridding the neighborhood of a documented gang member they blame for most of the problems.
Habitat officials say they've struggled to use the behavior of Eduardo Arguelles, 22, to foreclose on him and his family.
Arguelles is scheduled to stand trial in June for an armed robbery of a 7-Eleven in east Escondido last December, Deputy District Attorney Cal Logan said this week. Arguelles has been a documented gang member since shortly after that crime, Logan said.
Lori Holt Pfeiler, executive director of Habitat's San Diego chapter, said the 7-Eleven robbery hasn't helped the foreclosure effort as much as Habitat thought because it didn't take place within the subdivision.
She said Habitat began legal proceedings in January to foreclose on the Arguelles family because of the suspected criminal activity. Pfeiler said she was optimistic, but unsure how long the process would take.
"You never solve problems like this as fast as you'd like," she said.
The Gillies contend Habitat officials haven't prioritized the subdivision's problems. And they say Habitat didn't do enough vetting before selling the homes.
"In every meeting before we moved in, Habitat made it very clear there would be zero tolerance for any kind of criminal behavior," Gina Gillie said.
Pfeiler said Habitat hasn't been negligent.
"We vetted them the same as every other family," she said. "In 25 years building homes, we've only had one family out of 187 turn out like this."
William Wolfe, the attorney for Arguelles, didn't return a phone call Friday.
The Gillies also complained that the city and Habitat have been slow and mostly uncooperative in helping them buy another home elsewhere.
"They're making it really hard on us," said Jim Gillie, Gina's husband.
Similar sentiments were offered by a neighbor, who asked that her name be withheld because she fears the gang presence in the subdivision.
"Basically, we don't have any options," she said. "My preference would be to get out, but Habitat has been unwilling to relocate us."
Pfeiler said the residents are underestimating how complicated the process is.
"In some ways they have the same constraints any of us would have because they are upside-down," Pfeiler said.
Another hurdle is that Habitat promises something called "sweat equity" to families because they spend hundreds of hours helping to build their homes. But that's hard to calculate when Habitat has no equity to divide up because the house has lost value.
"How do we reconcile that?" Pfeiler said.
Other problems include the federal government's "silent second" mortgage on the house, and a requirement that the Gillies sell to another low-income family.

"Kinvarra" Kinvarra by pfsmalo
Kinvarra Travel Guide: 9 reviews and 20 photos
Although a pretty little village, situated halfway between Ballyvaughan and the eastern tip og Galway Bay, the only real thing of note in Kinvarra is the Dunguaire castle. Sitting on a spit of land the castle was built in 1520 by the O'Hynes clan from Galway. Taken over by the Martyn family in the 1600's, Richard Martyn lived here when he was Mayor of Galway, the castle stayed in the family hands for over 350 years.
Acquired by surgeon and poet Oliver St. John Gogarty in 1924, he established a meeting place here for other poets such as Yeats and Bernard Shaw, after much renovation. The castle once again changed hands in 1954, Lady Ampthill completing the renovation work.
Much later it was acquired by the Shannon Heritage Developement group who have since opened the castle and grounds to the public. The gates actually swung shut just as we arrived at 17.00, as preparations for the medieval banquet take priority.

Entrance to the castle and grounds is 6€ for an adult with some good reductions for seniors/students and... more travel advice

Hi Don, People I spoke to afterwards told me that, yes the entertainment is pretty good, but the food is average. As I certainly wasn't going to pay over 50€ to find out, I'll leave it to your goodself to read between the many lines.
Too bad the gates swung shut just as you arrived at 17.00. I've just had a look at their website (thanks for the link!) and discovered that they promise "food guaranteed to please the palate and entertainment to lift the soul at Dunguaire Castle."

Modern Humans Take a Spin Back in Time
Bower, B., Science News
Modern humans take a spin back in time
Scientists using a recently developed dating technique say anatomically modern humans apparently inhabited an Israeli cave known as Skhul about 100,000 years ago. Their conclusion, described in the April 27 NATURE, is consistent with reports that early modern humans were living at the nearby Qafzeh cave more than 90,000 years ago (SN: 2/27/88, p.138).
Nonetheless, the accumulating evidence for an early human presence in the Near East, more than twice as long ago as had been previously assumed, does not quell an ongoing dispute over the evolution of modern Homo sapiens. Some investigators say anatomically modern humans originated in Africa and spread throughout the world, replacing groups such as the Neanderthals, while others contend there was at least some interbreeding between early modern humans and Neanderthals.
Researchers had roughly dated Skhul at about 40,000 years old by comparing stone tools and the remains of animals and humans at the site with those from nearby caves.
The new age for Skhul was obtained by Christopher B. Stringer of the British Museum in London and his colleagues. They analyzed two teeth from an ancestral form of the cow or ox excavated more than 50 years ago and housed in a British Museum collection. The teeth came from sediment containing the remains of at least 10 early modern humans. Stringer's group calculated the age estimate through electron spin resonance (ESR) dating, a technique used with several archaeological samples over the last decade.
ESR measures the density of trapped electrons that gather in bone and other organic material as a result of environmental radiation after the material is buried. …

Don't lecture me - Donald Clark ALT-C 2010 keynoteLearning 5811 views
If you get a chance and work in formal education, watch this challenging talk from Donald Clark.
It stimulated a lot of dialogue (exactly what a lecture should do), during the talk on Twitter, and afterwards, both on Donald's blog post and elsewhere (eg. Doug Belshaw's.
Donald's been debating the merits of lectures for years, it's probably a good idea to look at these posts to get some background:
Some key points to take away from the discussion:
- The lecture is the default - so we need to abolish the job description: "lecturer".
- Maslow's hierarchy of needs (and lots of other models in current use) only survive because they are easy to put on a Powerpoint.
- If you're going to stand and broadcast - then do it proprly - make them good, and at scale.
- "We don't need lectures, we need performers who turn learning into a live and enjoyable experience".
- The lecture is not a good method for promoting critical thought.
- A lecture should be as long as it needs to be. Why is an hour the default?
- Mazur's work at Harvard with undergraduate physics is a good model to look at for a new way of approaching "instruction".
- Using lectures as a basis for learning makes no reference to current research in how people learn. eg. learning by doing, spaced practice, collaborative.
- Why do we go to conferences, when we can get what we need online?
1 comment
Love this. I can still enjoy a lecture, it has to be said, but Donald raises so many valid arguments. Most lecturers who follow the model that he describes in the beginning are not even remotely interested in the welfare or the progress of their students… and for that, they should be ashamed of themselves.
When I engaged with Donald on FB about it, he assured me that I was definitely on the 'dark side', i.e. rebellious against the status quo. I took that as high praise indeed!

Check Point is best plug and play Firewall
This review is from: Check Point Safe@Office 1000N Firewall Appliance
Pros: The device starts protecting your network from known attacks as soon as you plug it in. Unlike some open source firewalls you have to close all these doors which can take forever. This already has the most common doors closed and if you want to open them you can.
Cons: Before support and getting additional licenses was a pain they simplified it by going to a one page check out and just purchasing it with ur MAC address.
Other Thoughts: I would recommend their products to anyone who wants a simple plug and play firewall. I have been attacked by D DOS Attacks and it didn't bring my internal network down one bit, and automatically blocked that intrusion.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?
No service from Checkpoint and only 5 licenses out of the box.
This review is from: Check Point Safe@Office 1000N Firewall Appliance
Pros: Easy to setup. Very Fast Processor.
Cons: Oh where to start. First of all it does not tell you on this listing that it only has 5 licenses. So when you install it any devices over the 5 device limit will have no internet connection. In contacting Checkpoint they refused to even talk to me because I did not buy it from them. BE AWARE !! Checkpoint will not stand behind service, support or warranty if you purchase it from Newegg or any other Online clearing house. Only from Checkpoint direct
Other Thoughts: If during the first year you could add just the licensing you wanted without adding service from checkpoint or the attitude that Checkpoint sales had I would have given this 5 eggs. Also keep in mind this is a discontinued item that has been replaced with the 620 series (Sporting 10 licenses out of the box)
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you?
Totally Firewalled
This review is from: Check Point Safe@Office 1000N Firewall Appliance
Pros: Fantastically effective unit with wonderful tech support from Check Point (Needed them for some setup assistance) Netgear Routers work with this unit.
Cons: I purchased this for a business that was exposed to hacking. Due to some incompatibility issues with a Linksys E2000 wireless router not wanting to talk to the firewall, the Dumb customer insisted on it being removed thereby exposing themselves again to hacking. They chose another support service but they are still exposed..

I've been a web developer for the past 8 years (although I'd only consider the second half of that time as real experience)
In the past year I've done a couple of Zend Framework based business applications and I've been able to get comfortable with it.
Now I have been offered a position for leading a start-up on the technical side, I'm pretty excited as I am given freedom to make crucial decisions and am encourage to use new technologies to make our product 'cutting edge'.
So my question to you more experienced guys are: Is it worth picking up ZF2? Will the transition of learning the new ways be easy? How much does the coding style change? Can one start with the current available version and rely that the future releases will be compatible? Are the benefits of ZF2 vs 1 great enough to justify investing my time into adopting when faced with a job such as mine? Are there more important questions I should be asking?
Thanks, all advice greatly appreciated :)

The 32-year-old centre back, who went out on loan to Russia's Anzhi Makhachkala in February, had agreed a two-year contract, Leverkusen said on their website - but no fee was mentioned although the deal is believed to be in the region of 3 million.
"Emir Spahic is skillful and strong in challenges," Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voeller said.
"He also has outstanding technical ability and is very good in the air," added the former German international.
"He'll help us to achieve our targets in the Bundesliga, the German Cup and, of course, the Champions League."

I used to just use all the ones that are considered strong, like Dragonite, Garchomp, Metagross, and others. Now I just use the ones I like, and haven't really thought of using on a team. If it looks cool to me, I'll try using it. I don't care for stats much anymore. For example, I'm using a Seviper for the first time on my Black 2, which isn't exactly considered powerful.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
One of the best tent stakes around!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are incredible in soft ground. In places that a stake will normally pull right out of, these grip like crazy! Plus, they're crazy light!
Shelter Accessories - Secure
The new MSR Shelter Accessories program provides outdoor adventurers with a complete set of solutions to secure any tent.
Good for all types of ground, hard mud, sandy, or soggy. No problems with tent stakes popping out. Yes they cost more, but it's worth not having to re-stake part of your tent.
What does the cyclone really do. Does it...
What does the cyclone really do. Does it act like a drill or is it for sonething else?
It is just a different type of stake to supplement your tent/shelter with.
Alright yea, I just didn't know if it was a gimmick or not. Thanks alot Laura!

This ice-crafted armor is a gift from the three-aspected Goddess of Water to her chosen.
A stone construct that is ideal as a magical guardian, either of property or of information
An evershifting blade of ice, this is the weapon gifted to the chosen of the three-aspected goddess of water.
Deep in Throck forest there is a small valley filled with boulders. It is an uneasy place, full of invisible eyes. In the damp behind one of these boulders is a wooden door, virtually impossible to find, which leads down into the Kingdom of the Gnomes.
What do you do if your employer begins to go mad? Particularly if you've managed to build up a long tradition of working for him.
A beautiful warrior woman, with a sword and soul of ice.
A little prank that has found its uses. Shaving razor.
The bronze half plate of the Flame Knight, this armor serves to protect the wearer with the blessing of the Lord of Fire.
The silver and gold longsword of a knight of flame.
A graceful servant of the God of Fire, Destruction, and Rebirth, this fanatic warrior is devoted to the 'cleansing' of the world with flame.
In the darkness in the south transept of the Cathedral of Isielles stands the resplendent Clock of Shadows. It tells more than just the time of day…
Even the most useless of items can become something more if a legendary mage carries it around for a couple of centuries.
The home of the reclusive Monk-Smiths of Moldan, unparalleled practitioners of the art of smithing.
A set of polished silver and gold tea cups and saucers, and accompanying silver serving plate, that will serve on its own.
It looks like an ordinary parchment map, until it speaks to you. It says, "I know where you need to go to find what you are looking for." From there, the adventure begins.
The dwarfs of Thodar created a weapon of might and power - but how much is the wielder prepared to sacrifice to gain prowess in battle?
A brightly colored ink that hardens the skin.
A broken shard of mystical powers.
Once an adventurer, this now disembodied mage is seeking a reason to continue, or a way to die.
Game Cliche 3.
Every country in the world will have exactly one town in it, except for the main country, which will have three.

New compact advise
I have an SLR digital camera, but I am looking for a compact P&S for small events to fit in the pocket kind of camera.
I have narrowed it down to Sony DSC-W55. I want to stay in the 200 or less price range. Nice big LCD, 7.2MP is great, and excellent battery life.
Any comments, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Skip to comments.AP: Toomey Wins PA Senator
Posted on 11/02/2010 8:55:23 PM PDT by TonyInOhio
Breaking: Toomey wins PA Governor's Race
My state did a great job tonight!!!! Yeah!
gee, and he was running for senate...
I think you mean PA Senate race.
"gee, and he was running for senate..."
Now that is a MANDATE!!!
that's amazing, considering he's running for SENATE!
It's a Festivus Miracle!!!!!
Congratulations SENATOR elect Toomey!!!!!
"Governor's" race? Are you the idiot or is it the AP? He was running for U.S. Senate, y'know.
Very funny.... I didn't know he was running for Governor.
I thought he was running for the Senate? That's what the Commonwealth of PA website lists.
Sestak should have taken the job offered him by the Navy.
Great! Except Toomey wasn't running for governor, but for senator...
That was funny!
Oh jeese, hopefully they aren't just now announcing the governor's race and have not announced senate race. AP is just plain dumb....of course I was quick to type my last post without clearly reading the title.
But wait a minute. I thought Toomey was too far to the right and we need to vote for Specter? < /2004 Bush/Rove BS >
This has to be the most amazing upset of the evening, considering that Toomey ran for Senate and ended up winning for Governor.
I can see why there would be confusion in all the excitement, but Toomey is the GOP candidate for U.S. Senator. LOL.
10 point spread in the Governor's race for GOP Tom Corbett.
In senate race:
Election results were last updated 11/2/2010 11:40 PM.
United States Senator
Candidate Votes Percent
1,885,113 49.2%
1,944,236 50.8%
"gee, and he was running for senate..."
Very big win, I had given up on Penn.!
Oh crap - my mom wasted her vote,; she voted him for Senate ...
Toomey also won 3 house seats in Ohio and 2 in Indiana.
Finally I have a reason to be proud of the state of my birth. Way to go PA! Way too late, but finally there is a glimmer of hope for you.
HAHAHA exactly
Okay, I'm back, whew! (had to do a happy dance!)
Just like MD-1.
1. Defeat the rino
2. Defeat the dem
1. Defeat(chase out)the rino
2. Defeat the dem
1. Defeat the rino
2. ???
I am not from PA but was watching this one closely on the state of PA web site. I was worried that rats would steal this one. Nice wins by Marino and Barletta in the House too. I am a big fan of Lou.
PA had other good wins in the House. Nice.
I wondered how he did that. I was amazed!
And the Nobel Peace Prize!
A sigh of relief.
Barletta, Toomey, and Corbett. It's been an interesting day here in PA.
Kirk in Illinois came from about 150,000 down to being ahead by 75,000 with 94% of the vote in. Since it's Illinois, Kirk will probably lose by about 50,000 LOL!
WOO HOO! I am thrilled.
Great! I was in the car for 30 minutes and during the drive they started out saying Stestak was ahead by 4% and by the time I turned onto my street they said it was 50-50 with Toomey ahead by 17,000 votes.
Maybe there is hope for California yet.
The link doesn't go to Associated Press. Sure you're not punking us?
I'm with you there. Lived in Pa. until I was 10. Dad moved us to Georgia. Smart man, my Dad.
Yeah!!! Long time coming for Toomey! I remember back in the day here at FR...
The link to AP doesn't work, Toomey isn't running for Governor, but I think the date and time are ok on the post.
Now THAT'S a tsunami: run for the Senate, and win BOTH the Senate and the Governorship. Yay!
In my district Mike Fitzpatrick beat Patrick Murphy, and I will sleep like a baby with a smile on my face.

"Wonderful Relaxed Vacation Stay"
Our family with 4 children (17, 13, 11 & 11) had a great 6 night stay at Maria's Apartment. The accommodations were the perfect size for our family and everyone had their own place to sleep. The condominium complex is very safe and all the neighbours/security staff were cery friendly and welcoming. The apartment is centrally located in Cancun and is a short walk to grocery/pharmacy/shopping/bus routes/taxis. Huge thanks go out to Maria and Victor for graciously driving us to a delicious local restaurant on the first night night after our flight was late arriving and to the grocery store the following day to stock up on supplies. They also supplied us with valuable travel tips for the Cancun city and the surrounding area. Their kindness is something that you can't put a price on, but it was most greatly appreciated. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend this for anyone who wants a more personal and human touch not found in hotel chain.

"Un lugar 100% recomendable y seguro!!"
Estuve en Cancún del 14 al 22 de abril del 2014. El departamento es realmente cómodo y funcional, con todos los servicios necesarios, es como estar en casa. Todo el conjunto residencial es muy seguro con vigilancia las 24 hrs y el personal fue muy amable en todo momento.
Cuenta con áreas verdes bien cuidadas y tiene una alberca muy bonita. Esta tiene palapas, áreas infantiles y chapoteadero para pasar un día perfecto con la familia, incluso tiene sanitarios y un refrigerador que pueden ser usados.
El residencial está muy bien ubicado, la avenida te permite si vas en carro incorporarte muy fácilmente a la carretera a Mérida o a Tulum. Si usas el transporte público afuera del residencial pasan varias rutas, una de ellas te lleva a la Zona Hotelera a bajo costo.
Al salir del residencial encuentras un Oxxo y una gasolinera, y a 10 minutos caminando algunos restaurantes y varios supermercados.
La señora María es muy atenta y amable, siempre al pendiente de lo que pudiéramos necesitar, resolviendo cualquier duda que sobre el lugar, incluso nos ayudó a conseguir un segundo departamento en el mismo residencial, debido a que eramos una familia numerosa.
Cercano a la zona hotelera y buena relación en calidad/precio es un lugar muy recomendable si vas en pareja, amigos o familia!

"Comfortable, convenient, great price, gracious hostess!"
This was the best decision we could have made for our trip to Cancun. Our family includes kids 9 and 12 y.o., and we were primarily interested in sun, relaxation, and experiencing local culture. The apartment was perfect in size, privacy, and with everything we needed. Maria was so friendly and helpful, and we came to rely upon her for inside information on where to visit, eat, and how to get around. We loved that the apartment complex was gated with a 24-hour guard, and the whole premises was peaceful, with beautiful gardens and convenient pool. The resident iguanas were lots of fun to observe. We found the location ideal for accessing local beaches and restaurants, as well as for day trips to Isla Mujeres, Puerto Morelos, Tulum, and Coba. We will absolutely plan to stay at Maria's again!

"A brilliant place to stay"
My friends and I stayed at this apartment on 2 occasions, the last time was for 2 months.
We loved staying here, it is a perfect location for downtown Cancun as it is next to a really big supermarket (about 7 minute walk) and about a 2 minute walk from a launderette. There is also a petrol station at the entrance way and here you can also stop taxi's and buses very easily.
The apartment itself it lovely. It is in a gated accommodation block which is guarded so feels safer than other places. There is a communal swimming pool which is beautiful, surrounded by palm trees and is very well maintained. (The photos don't do it justice)
The owner Maria is very very kind and helpful, she always was ready to help us with anything we needed. She was very hospitable and it was reassuring knowing she was nearby if we needed anything.
Really enjoyed staying here!

"A very good choice to stay"
Everything on our stay on Maria´s apartment was perfect. After looking for some other options, we decided to stay here and it was a very good choice. We really enjoyed the pool and the playground for our kids whenever we decided to stay to rest and It was very quiet and Maria was very helpful with tips and places to go and to eat. The kitchen is well stocked with a stove, microwave oven, toaster oven, coffee pot, refrigerator, and everything that is needed to prepare and serve our food. It was $30 more a night than the cheapest hotel room we could find, and we felt like it was definitely worth every penny. In fact, we probably saved that extra $30 by being able to cook some for ourselves. Definitely we will return back soon

We spent our days visiting Riviera Maya, going to places like akumal, Tulum, Playa del carmen, Ekbalam ruins and some cenotes, also we went to beautiful public beaches in cancun near from the apartment, Maria and her husband Victor gave us very good tips, they were very friendly and helpful, and the days we stayed at the apartment, my kids enjoyed the pool and the playground area playing with other kids while my husband and I could rest sunbathing, neighbors are nice and the apartment is very clean and comfortably furnished, we had what we needed in the kitchen, rooms are big enough, there´s a tv with dvd, Maria lent us some movies for the kids and also internet works fast !
We were very happy with our stay and gladly recommend Maria´s apartment to anyone who wants to have a great vacation exploring the south of Mexico.

"Great Rental"
A great rental.
My family and I went to Cancun for 3 weeks and opted to stay at a rental vs a hotel. Maria was fantastic.. She was ready and helpful from the moment we arrived. My kids loved the pool and the small park inside the complex as well as the very friendly kids that live there. The complex is only 3 blocks from the grocery store, and if you rent a car you are close to the markets and beach (5- 10 min max). Very clean, and comfortable. Glad we stayed here.

"Wonderful stay!"
We had a wonderful stay in cancun. Maria was very helpful and informative. My son has a lot of dietary restrictions, so having the full kitchen was great! Plus, there is a grocery store a block away. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone wanting to stay just out of the hotel zone. It`s close to everything and very family friendly.

Myself and some friends recently spent 2 weeks at the apartment at Condominios Kabah and we had an excellent time.
The apartment was a good location for buses and taxis and a few minutes away form a large supermarket.
The residential block was beautiful and it felt safe to stay there.
Maria and her husband were so kind and helpful, we were really happy to meet them.
The swimming pool area looks even better in real life than in the photos.
We had an excellent stay and can't wait to come back.
Thank you!!

"Great accommadation"
I stayed in this apartment for 6 nights with 5 other guys all 21-31 from the UK and had a great time in Cancun. Firstly, the location of the apartment was great. It is in the middle of downtown off a main road, but situated far enough to remain peaceful through out the day. There is also a laundrette and supermarket located very close by which was very convenient. Most thigns in Cancun were either walking distance or a short taxi drive (which is very cheap in Cancun). Throwing out trash was also very easy and convenient. The 3 bedrooms were very spacious as was the rest of the apartment. A big bonus was the complex also has a very nice pool we used a couple of times and also 24 hour security guarding the complex so we always felt safe. Other highlights includes the fact the fridge/freezer was quite large and we also hired a car for our time there and you get your own private parking spot. The only thing that went wrong is the boiler going out on us, but since Maria lives just next door, she came over as soon as we called to sort things out so it wasn't a problem at all really.
I would definitely recommend staying here for anyone else that decided to visit Cancun and would say that it is suitable for anyone. If I do come back to Cancun, I would very likely choosing here to stay again.

"Lovely, Comfortable, Friendly and Relaxing Place to Stay!"
I came to Cancun for the UN Climate Talks in 2010 with a group of 12 volunteers from the UK aged 21-29. This place was perfect for us to travel around Cancun in public transport/taxi, relax at the end of a long day, enjoy the pool and cook meals together, whilst providing safety and good recycling facilities.
The landlady was very accommodating and ensured that all of our needs were met - including the needs of a member of our group who is disabled with cerebral palsy. We had a lot of questions and requests, and she was able to help us out happily.
Highly recommended place to stay in downtown Cancun!

"A wonderful welcome to Mexico"
I was travelling to Cancun with a group of 12 young people from the UK for the Cop16 climate talks. As a group, we had a number of special needs to be met, mainly because one of our group has cerebal palsy and uses a wheelchair. Maria, the landlady, was unfazed by the extra requests that we made and went out of her way to ensure that we had everything we needed. When one of our group fell ill, she even ensured that we received the right medicine from the doctor. The apartments were perfect for our requirements and it was great to stay somewhere that felt safe and friendly. We also enjoyed using the pool to relax after a long day.

Mr and Mrs Herrera
I spent 10 wonderful days in Cancun with my wife and two kids. This was
our second time in Cancun and this time we wanted to stay and visit the
"real" Cancun, so we decided to rent a place in downtown Cancun. The
apartment was located inside a enjoyable and quiet apartment complex. It
was very clean and the furniture was practically brand new. The owner, a
lady called Mar?a and her husband live in the same apartment complex and
they were very helpful whenever we needed advice. One night we were very
tired and Maria prepared a delicious cebiche for us at a very affordable
price. We went to some beaches in Cancun and incredible places around
the Mayan Riviera such as Xcaret, Xelha, Akumal, etc. We went snorkeling
to an amazing coral reef at Puerto Morelos and also went to a couple of
real mexican markets.
I highly recommend this apartment for your next
stay in Cancun, it?s clean, comfortable, affordable and practically
brand new.

"It was great !!!"
I´ve been in Cancun several times for business and I´d usually stayed
at the same hotel. On February, it was a special occasion because I took
my family there with me and we decided to rent an apartment. An old
friend recommended us this vacation home and I think this was the best
choice according to our plans and budget, cause we wanted to go around
to the beautiful places near to the city and we didn´t want to expend a
lot of money in our lodging. We rented a car and we went every where
around, one day we went to Playa del Carmen that is 45 min aprox, next
day we went to Tulum, next day we went to Playa Delfines, an amazing
beach at the Hotel Zone in Cancun. The next day we stayed at the
apartment just relaxing in the pool with my nephews swimmming and
playing there. People there were very kind and polite. The zone was very
secure. The owner, Maria, was very kind and gave us a lot of helpful
tips, she even took care of my nephews while we went out to dinner one

Attachment 270902Attachment 270903
Going to the HPVFest next week in Ayer MA and I'm sure to find some odd bikes there.
That's some nice work. I'm thinking about making the mounts to put another rear shock on the front instead of the little spring on a stick that I salvaged from the original springer. It would probably smooth the whole thing out a lot. I welded an old wheel hub into the fork for it's pivot point when I put it all together, which helped a lot.
Attachment 271967
what wheels did you use?
The wheels on the '36 Seminole are Electra wheels I believe. Or Nirve? I can't remember what the guy told me when I bought them. All I know is they are awesome.
24x3 rear, 26x2.3 front
Thanks. It's so hard trying to find 24" wheels w/o buying something new. I might have to though.
made a swing bike today. i still need to adjust the back half a little and fix a few of my welds.
Love to swing. I made several for me and for my two daughters.
^mine doesn't swing that good, but it's still a blast to ride. any tips? been thinking of doing another one.
yet another ratty pub cruiser. 1946-1/2 Monark Super Deluxe:
My second is my personal Vista.
My last one was for my other daughter is a better way to build it. Got the idea from Wobley John (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...P0xJAX-o0l1RSw). He has his build on the web. Check his out.
RB1-luvr.......... nice Monark. It has a lot of custom details all rolled into one. Love the church key on the fender.
This is my (pardon the expression) 'Ratbstrd Cruiser'
Attachment 281077Attachment 281078Attachment 281079Attachment 281080Attachment 281081
First picture is of the bike as I bought it. The rest is of the progress so far. I am trying to find some nice brown grips and a 50s style light set for it. After that who knows
I also have something going that's not nearly as done as yours....... I started with a way to tall Schwinn 10-speed and laced a Bendix Coaster Brake hub onto the rear rim and removed all the cables and crap that came on it...... and I bent and added things to it. Rides nice.
http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/t...otos/FL-02.jpg http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/t...otos/FL-04.jpg http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/t...otos/FL-09.jpg
I have nearly compleated front and rear fenders that are a few inches off the street on the trailing edge and will add one more top bar with a small tank in between.
Now those are some sexy hand grips. I was thinking about cutting a 1 inch strip of brown leather and wrapping the bars half way up from the ends like you would a road bike. That way you still get to see the chrome in the centre.
...but I also like those grips in the link you sent..... choices
I havn't been here for a while, just thought I'd pop in and post a pic of my custom made (by me) 24 inch muscle bike. AKA "The Beast!"
I posted of few of these pics in a SSFG forum thread, needless to say they don't seem to appreciate going a bit outside the norm! This forum looks a bit more accepting of such things!
Anyway, not as involved a change as some of you talented folks have done, but this is pretty much how my 1987 Schwinn Cimarron looked the day i picked it up back then,.....my only brand spankin new bike! In this pic the rear fender was off,....about the only change from original. This is the 18" frame,...perfect for mountain bikeing but a bit low for city commuting. The Dimension quill to threadless rising converter solved that problem, and gets me upright and comfy.
When i finally got around to making some changes this summer, i decided the dealers suggested kick stand had to go! It had chewed up some paint, and i spent a few hours sanding, priming, and touch up painting. Had to keep any rust at bay,.....as it's survived about 26 years without any to speak of.
Here's how she looks today, replaced the 26x2.00 tires with 26x1.50 Serfas Drifters, a Thudbuster suspension seatpost, and the outer wings give a super comfortable crusing position as long as you don't need to brake for a second or two:
The outer bar end grips were covered with an decent match to the Ergo grips,....once i picked up a $6 Walmart rubber grip set and bent them around the curve. A strange sensation eminates when i ride this. The semi-enclosed cockpit hints at a airplane cockpit, and looking down while riding always puts a smile on my face. Almost "wing-like"
I positioned the outer grips such that while riding on the main grips on the mountain bars, the wing grips clear my forarms and you don't feel them at all. It's the more "aero" position, and of course the brakes are accessable there.
The outer bar end grips allow for a stretched out upright riding cruising position, and i find i use those more than the "main" grips! :-)
I keep the Brooks seat rain cover in the small leather handcuff case on the seatpost. Always there if you need it.
This seat post combined with medium pressurized 26x1.50 tires makes for a super comfy ride,.....cadillac-like.
I have a black Brooks B17 Imperial leather seat on it now (not what's shown in this pic), but this does show the beefing up i did of the Thudbuster seatpost, fitting stainless bolts with nylon bushing covers to eliminate they slight play that has been known to develope on these:
I ran the front like this for awhile (Albatros bars),....but much prefer the 2 separate hand positions of the current setup. Funny how the bar end grips like i have them places your hands close to the same position as these, except i get an extra hand position with the wing setup.
here's my latest
built as part of a for fun halloween build off on freakbike
i have a hard time making myself get around to paint, but since i have another bike apart to paint (for way too long), i'm leaving this one together as a spare to my main stretch. mechanicly it's compleat and rides pretty good so i can work out any bugs and play with a few more ideas before i get to paint anyway.
its a banana seat with sissy bars, pretty basic set up taken from 60s era muscle bikes.
I wanted to make comments on individual bikes but this page's are all gloriously sick! Nice work everybody!

Wonder if he is feeling the pressure of starting a shitstorm based on faulty information? Heard on the radio that he will step down today. Guess he was feeling some heat for his comments.

Unlike other financial institutions, there is not a freeze on lending at ACFCU. Whatever your needs may be, give the folks at ACFCU a call; I feel certain they can and will help you in any way possible.
