Мы были в квартире с 26 10 2014 по 02 11 2014.
Были с маленькими детьми.
Месторасположение удобное, квартира тихая.
Квартира очень не уютная, квартира грязная.
Мало посуды, электро чайник течет
Было очень холодно.
Систему отопления хозяева не включили.
В письме написали что у них центральное отопление и его еще не включили. Экономят.
На самом деле в квартире, газовое автономное отопление (газовый блок над плитой, блок управления справа у входа под счетчиком там только надо поменять батарейки)
Excelente apartamento (mejor que en las fotos). Bien ubicado. La relación calidad/precio muy acorde. La atención de la anfitriona inmejorable. 100% recomendable.
El apartamento estaba fantástico y la propietaria era muy atenta.
El único pero, es que la escalera y el barrio no estan al mismo nivel que el apartamento.
Sharon es una gran anfitriona, amable y cordial. El apartamento está muy bien ubicado y ofrece todas las comodidades para pasar unas bonitas vacaciones.
Cool rustics place in the heart of Florence! Hosts were a huge help as well!
Lo mejor es la localización: es inmejorable. El apartamento es perfecto para una estancia corta, donde acudir a descansar tras la jornada turística. El personal de la agencia muy simpático y servicial. Todo correcto.
Great little appartment with two separate bedrooms in a great location in Firenze. Appartement is a stones-throw away from the central market and a short walk to the Duomo. Clean and as the concierge office is just next door, very easy checking in or getting some info about things to do.
Highly recommend this lovely old apartment, great location, 10 minutes walk from train station and 15 minutes walk to river! Great view of market stalls below and Sharon & Rosanna were very helpful in their office, 5 minute walk away. Would love to stay there again!
Apartment in on the first floor above a leather goods shop directly opposite the entrance to the central market and within easy walking distance of the main sites in Florence.
Good points
Staff at the lettings office very friendly and helpful, office about a 5 minute walk beyond the apartment coming form the station.
Apartment has living room with two sofas, TV, full kitchen with oven two bedrooms (one with no outside window) and a modern bathroom and good heating system. No outside noise if windows shut, no houses opposite (just the market) so privacy very good.
Excellent veg, fish and food just across the way if you are cooking at home
Excellent free wi fi
All clean and comfortable, area very safe
Just a couple of negatives
If you have oven on dont use the electric kettle as it will trip electric switch downstairs where the meters are, i managed to get it back on but most people will have to call the agent to sort it out, could be a problem if late at night
Noise from flat above, mostly chairs scraping on tiled floor etc. plus noise from bed in room above main bedroom can be a bit irksome if you are a light sleeper
In all would recommend this apartment, its a great area, lots of market staffs and nice places to eat, you will feel in the middle of things
As a family of 5, we were very happy to stay in Sharons apartement. Placed in the center with a short walk to everything, this cosy apartemen is perfect place to stay. ... and the best food marked in Florence is situated right across the street :-)

ST. LOUIS — The Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson attacked the bid by Rush Limbaugh to buy the St. Louis Rams, saying the conservative radio host's track record on race should exclude him from owning a team.
Sharpton sent a letter to commissioner Roger Goodell, arguing Limbaugh has been divisive and "anti-NFL" in some of his comments.
Jackson said Monday in a telephone interview that Limbaugh had made his wealth "appealing to the fears of whites" with an unending line of insults against black people and other minorities.
"The National Football League has set high standards for racial justice and inclusion," Jackson said. "He should not have the privilege of owning an NFL franchise — and it is a privilege."

Limbaugh, on his radio show, responded to Sharpton.
"Now, this saddens me as well this disappoints me," he said. "I know Rev. Sharpton. Sharpton is better than this. He knows better than this. You know, I didn't judge Al Sharpton's fitness to be in radio when he wanted to earn an honest living for once, given his well-documented past as the author of the Tawana Brawley hoax. I believe in freedom and I also don't discriminate."
Limbaugh said last week he is teaming with Dave Checketts, an owner of the NHL St. Louis Blues, in a bid to buy the Rams.
In 2003, Limbaugh worked briefly on ESPN's NFL pregame show. He resigned after saying Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was overrated because the media wanted to see a black quarterback succeed.
Transcripts posted on the radio host's Web site also say that on a January 2007 show, Limbaugh commented: "The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it."
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league is aware of the concerns voiced by Sharpton and Jackson.
The latest complaints came a day after the executive director of the NFL Players Association, DeMaurice Smith, urged players to speak out against Limbaugh's bid.
• Oakland coach Tom Cable, a former Snohomish High School player, said one of the keys to getting the Raiders (1-4) to improve is to eliminate distractions. Cable was talking about the how the Raiders respond to adversity early in games. The potentially bigger distraction of Cable's legal problems regarding his alleged training-camp assault on defensive assistant Randy Hanson is not an issue, Cable said.
"I don't believe it is," he said. "I would never believe that because, as I've said, I know the truth and I trust in the system, the process, and I just know that what's supposed to happen will happen. I've not let it become an issue."
Napa, Calif., police announced last week they have ended their investigation and forwarded the results to the district attorney's office. The DA office has not said how long it will take to decide whether to file charges. League officials are monitoring the case.
• Hanson, in an interview with Yahoo Sports, said Cable shouted profane death threats in his direction during a coaches meeting.
"And I have no reason to believe he wouldn't have killed me if they hadn't pulled him away," Hanson said.
• Defensive back Dre' Bly of the San Francisco 49ers apologized to teammates. Bly embarrassed himself and the 49ers during Sunday's 45-10 home loss to the Atlanta Falcons when he intercepted a pass by Matt Ryan in the third quarter and struck a Deion Sanders-like pose with his right hand to his helmet and the ball unprotected in his left hand. Roddy White knocked the ball loose and Atlanta, leading 35-10 at the time, recovered. The Falcons marched downfield and scored again.
Bly said he approached 49ers coach Mike Singletary to apologize for the display, which also included him saying after the game he had done nothing wrong because "Dre"s going to be Dre'. "
A day later, Bly said, "I want to publicly apologize for yesterday. My comments were totally inappropriate. I apologized to Coach. I'm not a selfish guy. I didn't mean to embarrass him if I did, embarrass my team, embarrass the ownership, embarrass the fans."
Singletary said he would not discipline Bly.
• Top return man Allen Rossum has been released by the 49ers, creating roster room for newly signed rookie receiver Michael Crabtree of Texas Tech. Rossum, 33, is second in league history with 14,987 return yards.
• A day after playing in his first game with an injured plantar fascia, quarterback Eli Manning of the New York Giants said the injury continues to improve.
"It feels good," Manning said. "I'm able to move around and I didn't have a setback by any means."
• Cleveland coach Eric Mangini said he is cooperating with the league in its investigation into rookie running back James Davis' mysterious season-ending shoulder injury.
ESPN.com reported Davis was injured during a recent post-practice period for extra work when he was hit by a Browns linebacker.
According to the report, witnesses said Davis was not wearing shoulder pads while the unidentified defender who hit him wore pads.

One superstar is out for the season. Another has a fractured rib.
The beef between the Diamondbacks and Pittsburgh Pirates hasn't gone away after pitcher Randall Delgado hit National League MVP Andrew McCutchen with the pitch on Saturday. Pittsburgh thinks the retaliation for Paul Goldschmidt's injury was unwarranted. Was it really, though?
If the Diamondbacks were simply acting in line with the "unwritten" rules that have been a part of baseball for generations, can they really be considered the game's "dirtiest" team?
We want to know what you think.
From Bob Young, columnist:
The question to me isn't whether the Diamondbacks needed to retaliate for Ernesto Frieri's pitch that broke Goldschmidt's hand.
The Diamondbacks had to respond to that, and the Pirates were expecting it to happen. It isn't dirty. It's policing the game, and players will often do it whether the manager is onboard or not.
Heck, Pirates outfielder McCutchen said he knew it was coming after Delgado drilled him in the back the next night.
"We understand that retaliation is going to happen in this game," he said. "But you know, there's a right way to do it."
That's where I question the Diamondbacks.
It appeared that Delgado tried to hit McCutchen and missed him with his first pitch. His next pitch was a slider away. At that point, McCutchen is likely thinking that this is going to be a normal at bat the rest of the way.
Instead, Delgado came back inside and hit him in the back.
Hey, nothing wrong with playing by the unwritten rules – just as long as you're going to observe all of them.
And while it's an unwritten rule that a team has to stand up and protect teammates, it also is understood that you don't set up a hitter to be plunked the way Delgado appeared to set up McCutchen.
From Jay Dieffenbach, pro sports editor:
"Old school" can be another phrase for "not evolved." This subject is a classic example of a sports issue crying out for leadership. Teams clearly can't police the game themselves. Today, fans can see virtually everything and are much more educated. There is no mystery when a team executes "payback." The solution must come from the commissioner's office, and the new guy (Selig is retiring) could make a strong statement during his first days in office. If leadership rules a pitcher intentionally hit a batter, make it hurt. Make the fines and suspensions mean something. And by the way, if a pitcher unintentionally hits a batter – with no prior animosity – and there is no retaliation, do the players really feel that the manager doesn't have their backs? If they feel that way, let's set rules in place to gradually remove that mindset. The game – and the players – will be healthier for it.
From the readers:
There's been some yammering about the Arizona Diamondbacks being a dirty team for hitting Pittsburgh Pirates player Andrew McCutchen with a pitch. McCutchen may be out of the Pittsburgh lineup for a month due to what may or may not be a related broken rib injury. What we need here is some fact-based reporting, as the Progressives like to call it. The Pirates pitching staff leads the major leagues in batters hit. They have a big lead over the second-place team and their pitching staff has hit twice as many batters this year as the Diamondbacks pitching staff (maybe the D-Backs need to start hitting more batters, since the Pirates are competitive and the D-Backs aren't). The Pirates have hit two D-Backs players in the last two years resulting in season-ending injuries for the D-Backs players: Aaron Hill and Paul Goldschmidt. A Pirates pitch hit Goldschmidt and broke his hand. Baseball karma.
--Jim McManus, Phoenix
I find it amusing all the hysteria about the D-Backs pitcher hitting outfielder McCutchen. If this had been anybody else on the team it wouldn't have been made into such a big deal. This is the same reason we have the "Posey" rule now regarding the catcher blocking the plate without the ball. If any run-of-the-mill catcher had had his leg broken in a collision at home plate we wouldn't have this stupid rule in place today, but since it was a "star" we must change the rules. By the way, of the 30 major league teams, the D-Backs are No. 23 on the list of hit-by-pitch this year. The leader, by a wide margin, the Pittsburgh Pirates. I personally feel that a lot of the vitriol directed at the D-Backs is regarding Arizona's reputation politically (thanks, AZ legislature) more so then its baseball team. Teammates expect their pitchers to have their backs, always been that way and hopefully doesn't change.
--Bruce J. Parkhouse, Phoenix
When the Pirates came up to bat the D-Backs hit them intentionally. When are the managers and players going to stop this juvenile behavior? It's a poor example to kids with adults displaying this kind of behavior and frankly, I think it's a poor management that allows this behavior. Please stop the madness.
--Paul Reilly, Phoenix
The Diamondbacks' disappointing season as well as some disturbing decisions by those in charge of this team, bubbled to the top with the plunking of McCutchen. Goldschmidt handled it with the utmost class. Too bad someone making decisions for our D-Backs couldn't do the same and restrain themselves from the barbaric "unwritten rules of baseball." The decision to place a human being who just happens to be the current MVP with what could be a life-threatening situation using 95-mph projectiles is cause for some action by Major League Baseball. This fan was sad for our team, organization and city.
--John Serpe, Peoria
Seems everybody's trying to pin the McCutchen injury on the D-Backs. Maybe, inadvertently, it looked to me he got so mad at being plunked that he was over-swinging trying to hit everything way out of the park, thereby messing up his back. On the other hand, Goldy was probably (?) not hit on purpose, but aren't the Pirates to blame for putting a pitcher – who should have been working out his serious command and control problems in the minor leagues – out there to jeopardize expensive talent? The Pirates have hit quite few batters this season which indicates an amount of intent in pitching philosophy. We lose a player for the rest of the year, they lose theirs for a couple of weeks. I'd trade with them, I don't feel a bit sorry for them.
--Bill Maugans, Mesa
By George, I'm mad. No, not just mad – furious! I'm furious at the implication by sports writers that the D-Backs are a dirty team because of the supposed retaliation against the Pirates and their star. Now, when I saw the replay, it looked like the ball hit McCutchen's upper arm, then glanced off and hit his back. The Pirates even said they didn't think the hit was responsible for McC's grimacing pain (it reminded me of the "flops" of the NBA). Then, Boivin calls the D-Backs thuggish, and seems to say that they only have the right to plunk the other team if they are winning – if they are losing, well, you just have to stand there and take it! My husband hates baseball, but will watch a game with me, occasionally, just so he can ridicule my team; he couldn't believe the ugly, ugly reporting. I'm not saying the D-Backs don't ever retaliate, I'm saying, paint the D-Backs with the same brush as the other teams, and one of the least likely to retaliate.
--June Ramsey, Casa Grande

Lindsey Graham: Illegals Come Here to 'Drop a Child'
If you thought the recent right wing push to repeal part of the US Constitution's 14th amendment and take away automatic birthright citizenship was just a wacky idea from the Rand Paul fringe, think again. Lindsey Graham eyes 'birthright citizenship'.
And in his statement on Fox News (where else?), Graham resorted to some of the crudest dehumanizing language I've seen from any politician.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) announced Wednesday night that he is considering introducing a constitutional amendment that would change existing law to no longer grant citizenship to the children of immigrants born in the United States. …
"People come here to have babies," he said. "They come here to drop a child. It's called "drop and leave." To have a child in America, they cross the border, they go to the emergency room, have a child, and that child's automatically an American citizen. That shouldn't be the case. That attracts people here for all the wrong reasons."

Victoria Square
Victoria Square stands at the junction of three streets; New Street, Paradise Street and Colmore Row. After the Council House was built in the 1870s it was known as Council House Square. It became Victoria Square after the arrival of the statue of Queen Victoria in 1901.
Between August 1992 and June 1993, Victoria Square was completely redesigned at a cost of £0.2 million. Only the statue of Queen Victoria remains in its original location. The square was re-opened by Diana, the Princess of Wales on 6 May 1993.
The square is also the site of Birmingham's Town Hall, and several public works of art, including the Iron Man and the 'Floozie in the Jacuzzi'.

Strong half-court defense and some transition offense added up to another nice win for the Washougal boys basketball team on Tuesday.
Isaac Bischoff and David Crowley each scored 12 points as Washougal had four players score in double figures to improve its record to 8-0 on the season with a 64-44 win over rival Camas.
Michael McElroy and Aaron Deister each scored 11 points for the Panthers, who will face another challenge Wednesday with a non-league game against Mountain View.
The Panthers held a two-point edge at halftime and pushed the margin to eight after three quarters.
Washougal coach Malcolm Estes said his team picked up its intensity on defense in the second half, and made it difficult for Camas to get the ball into the post. That intensity translated into some transition offense.
"Defensively, we just played really well," Estes said. "We limited them to one shot most of the time."
The Papermakers went to a full-court trap in an effort to get back into the game in the fourth quarter. But Washougal was able to break the press, find open players who converted several lay-ups, increasing the Panthers lead to 20 points in about four minutes.
Austin Dubay led Camas with 18 points. Crowley had nine rebounds, five assists and four steals for Washougal.
WASHOUGAL (8-0) — Isaac Bischoff 12, Aaron Deister 11, Michael McElroy 11, Mustapha Bah 6, David Crowley 12, Austin Tran 2, Joey Rubino 1, Nate Adams 4, Jaden Jantzer 5. Totals 27 (3) 7-13 64.
CAMAS (2-6) — Trent Johnson 8, Zach Eagle 0, TAnthony Fallin 7, Tyler Macrae-Smith 2, Brandon Nguyen 0, Austin Dubay 18, Tyler Verbout 0, Austin Vaughan 0, Kyle Friend 8, Jordan Lenard 1. Totals 13 (4) 14-26 44.
Washougal 12 15 14 23—64

Simple interface for weather
I like this app and have had very few minor issues with it. Nothing that didn't seem to fix itself anyways.
There's one request I have though. I once had an app way back, that's no longer available, but I liked it because it would alert me with a jingle that it was either going to rain, or snow today. It was pretty accurate, then one day it was just gone. But I liked it because it would alert me as I was waking up. Depending on the jingle, I would know whether it was going to rain or snow that day, and so I would know the weather before even getting out of bed or looking at my app what the weather was like that day. For now, I use rain alert for that, but its not the same. It just tells me if there is precipitation. But for me, it would be nice to know if I need to get up now to prepare myself for icey weather and stuff. Just a recommendation to add to the push notifications. I think a lot of people would like that option.
Very nice app
I like how clean & simple the interface is, but se of the controls are not intuitive. For instance, you want to set your home location right; well there is not place to reset that after the initial setup or to set your current location as your home. I like that you can set multiple locations, but why limit to one initially & then add only three more if you purchase premium. Other apps & the built-in weather allows so many I haven't found the limit yet.
What I would like to see added is an alert system that will alert me if the area I'm at or my home location is about to get rain or a wind storm, or heaven forbid a severe weather event (like a hurricane or tornado). I would like to be alerted as soon as the weather forecast shows it. That could save lives too. The alerts would need to be adjustable so that the user is not alerted too often or too little & be able to choose how I want to be alerted.
All in all, it's a good app & almost an amazing app except for the few short comings I've written about above.
Nearly perfect
It's file size is small and gives me all the data I want. I love being able to default to a view; mine is week, because I get hi lo temps, an info graphic of the condition (sunny, cloudy, rain), and best of all I get both % chance to rain and amount of rain. So everything for the next few days is on one screen. I also like the temp badge on the icon in home screen.
I only have two minor gripes. I would like the option to have wind speed just under rain, making the hi lo bars a little shorter. Most of all, I'd do away with the HD wallpaper for something that reflects current conditions, maybe just color (gray for clouds, yellow for sun) or a wallpaper that reflects them like in other apps.
Right now this is in a race with weather+, which needs icon temp badge but has wind and conditional wallpaper. But I like the simplicity of this apps presentation, so I hope this one gives me wind and wallpaper.

First, But Not Last: On Finding, Navigating, and Losing First Loves
I'm 25: shouldn't I have been ready for sex?
I am 25. I am a virgin. I went on this date with this guy. We were trying to have sex. He didn't put his penis inside of me. I was in pain. I panicked. I told him , I am not ready. I don't know him very well. I did not want to sleep with him. I was freaked out. He told me, you are 25. You should be ready. My friend told me to purchase a vibrator that will help me be more comfortable with sex. Do you think I need more foreplay? Is there something wrong with me? Is there a way I can make the experience better for me?
My best friend really wants to have sex with me, but I'm afraid it'll ruin our friendship.
I'm a female and my best friend is a male. We're both virgins, he's 17 and I'm 16. He keeps telling me that he wants to have sex, and he's been touching my body more and more. We've kissed and made out recently, but he wants to go all the way. He tells me things like "I want to be your first, and I want to be your first." He says that he thinks sex will "strengthen" our best friend relationship but I'm afraid it might ruin it. What should I do?
When the Time Comes
When the Time Comes
Lions and Tigers and Orgasms, Oh My! When Orgasm Seems Scary.
I'm a girl and I've been with my boyfriend for 8 months. I'm 18 and he's my first boyfriend. We've never had sex (he has had it before) but we've done other things. I have a problem though, I'm really scared to orgasm. Like we'll be doing something that feels so good and I know that if we just continued a bit longer I would get there (I feel the muscles contracting, the heart pumping, the intensity building and all that) but then I chicken out and make him stop. He's fine with it and very supportive and respects that I'm so scared, but it bothers me. Why can't I just let myself get there? It's the same deal if I um, "pleasure myself." Is there any way I can or he can help myself get over this fear of the unknown?
Three on Going With the Flow
I am going on a graduation-required 28 day backpacking trip. It is likely that this will happen to fall around my period. What is the best way to work with your period when backpacking? Pads are out of the question, as they are not so great for letting your pelvic area "breathe" during exercise. Tampons...meh. I don't really want to have to carry the new ones in with me (extra weight), or the used ones out with me, like you have to do with all garbage. I thought a menstrual cup would be good, as it can be worn for a long time and there is no garbage involved--however, cleaning the cup might be complicated because polluting is a no-no out in the elements. Maybe I could use wipes of some sort? Are there wipes that don't have body-upsetting chemicals? It would be nice to not have to deal with this for just one month--are there any sorts of short term forms of menstrual suppressors that I could use just one time without huge side effects?
The people in charge of the whole thing don't seem very educated about other options, and simply reassure all of the girls that they can use tampons and carry around all the garbage.
Love, Growth, Fear & Other Kinds of Big-Scary-Wonderful
Can you explain to me what love is please? How does one feel? Can you describe the effects for me? or, is it the kind of thing you just have to know? Does it go away? Or is it something permanent? I think that I am falling in love with my boyfriend.
He is a senior, and I am a junior. Next year he is going off to college, most likely a really prestigious one far away. We have been going out for only about 4 months, but we have known each other for a few years, and in the last 4 months we have spent so much time together (pretty much every minute) it feels like it has been much longer.
We recently had sex for the first time (first time for me, not for him), and several times since the first time. I have to say, I'm not crazy about it yet, but what I am crazy about is the connection it makes me feel between the two of us. He is extremely considerate of how I feel during sex, and he wants me to figure out what I like. He is so caring and sensitive to how I feel, and we have talked about sex and our relationship a lot, and how sex will affect our relationship and emotions. I like having sex, and I love the time we spend together. We have talked about love, and how we don't really understand what it is, but agree that we definitely have a deep connection. But I'm afraid that my feelings for him are going to become too intense, and I am going to fall in love with him, and then he is going to go off to college and my heart will break (I know, that sounds cliche).
We have talked about love, and I think we both said we feel like were falling slowly, even if we don't completely understand it, like, what it really means. He says "lets fall, but not fall too hard," and I agree, I don't know if I can handle the raw emotion of love. After we have sex, I feel elated, but later, when he leaves, I feel depressed because I know that he is going to leave the city after high school, and then our relationship will be over and I wont feel this connection any more. Am I just overthinking this whole thing?
I don't feel safe with him: how can I change my feelings?
I'm in my late teens and have been dating my first boyfriend for one and a half years. Early on in the relationship he broke my trust and later on has done a few things that have made me really uncomfortable: touching me where I've told him not to before, being very rough, and the worst, making a negative comment about my body. I've talked to him about all of this and it hasn't happened since but it's destroyed my trust in him, and my libido has disappeared. I now dread having sex with him because I'm always thinking about how he must hate my body and not respect me. Is there anything I can do to get me to believe he actually likes my body (like he claims to) or to learn to trust him again (and to be okay with him treating me rougher than I like?). I really love him but I can't stand the thought of him touching me at the moment because I just feel used.
I'm Not Sure What Either of Us Wants
My boyfriend and I have been talking about having sex. We are both still virgins. Every time we talk the sex subject usually comes up and he wants to talk about what I want him to do to me ... but I'm not really sure exactly what I want. He's a year older than me and knows a little bit more about sex than I do. He told me he wants to go down on me hard and do me real good. How do I find out what he wants without having to ask or having to wait until the time that we have sex?

Filipino Wedding Gowns
Are you planning your wedding in Philippine? Or maybe your spouse to be is Filipino, or many you are very interested about this country. If you dream to have your wedding in Philippine, then you will want to know what wedding traditions they have, what type of wedding gowns they were, what is in fashion, you will want to know more about their culture. Are you planning for a traditional Filipino wedding or a classical, modern wedding?
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
The country has a rich history and that reflect in their culture and tradition. What better why then showing some elements of their culture than a wedding, the most important event in someone's life? Modern designers get inspiration from traditional wedding attire, to create new beautiful wedding gowns. In Filipine it is very fashionable to have piña that means graceful butterfly sleeves, such style remains to be traditional and classical favorite.
Two of the top Filipino designers are Rajo Laurel and Joel Bautista that creates Filipino themed wedding gowns. There are different styles in the three major islands of the country. There are different inspirations, colonial, Muslims, and ethnic. The ethnic gown will have ethnic motif, an interpretation of ikat, and other tribal elements, another trend is traditional material cut, into modern silhouettes. The most familiar style it will be a three piece ensemble (blouse, skirt and pañuelo) with the optional, alampay and patadyong, and the terno. Most brides prefer a two piece style, over the "Imelda terno". The materials they use reflect the diversity of the Filipino culture like silk organza, organdy, jusi, piña, silk and pure silk, and abaca. The Filipino bride's attire is typically made of a custom made, white wedding grown, this is from American influence. The Filipino groom wears, Barong Tagalog, a formal, traditional, transparent, and embroidered and button up shirt, made from jusi fabric, made from pineapple fibers. This formal Filipino groom attire, is worn tucked and with a white T-Shirt beneath, and over a black pants.
Traditionally a Filipino bride will wear her best dress on her wedding day, especially poor brides that didn't afford to buy a dress only for this event, and if they did the wedding dress will be worn on different occasions after the wedding. Orange blossoms, used for wedding bouquets and church decorations are still very famous. A Filipino theme wedding gown can be a good option for any bride.11

Birmingham theater stages Stephen Sondheim musical
Originally printed 5/28/2009 (Issue 1722 - Between The Lines News)
The Birmingham-based Village Players will present "Sunday in the Park with George," which opens May 29. This Stephen Sondheim musical, one of the most acclaimed productions of our time, is not often seen on local stages.
This moving study of the enigmatic painter Georges Seurat won a Pulitzer Prize for this sometimes funny, sometimes moody, always insightful examination of life through art and the artist.
Seurat is the pointillist French painter whose masterpiece is the huge painting entitled "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte." The 1884 painting is one of the most arresting pieces of the art collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. Any visitor to the Art Institute cannot ignore it, and the musical's first act ends with a recreation of the painting on stage.
Undertaking the challenge of staging this musical is director Holly Hellsten Conroy. The Royal Oak resident is also costume and set designer for the show. Helping to keep all the balls in the air is producer Bryan Conroy, Holly's husband.
The Conroys, who met at Village Players, have become a successful director/producer team. They worked together on two Village Players productions, "Man of La Mancha" and "Jesus Christ Superstar."
"This show about art and artists is truly challenging for our own scenic artists," Conroy said in a press release. "It took George Seurat two years to complete his painting, 'A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte,' but our talented team must recreate the masterpiece onstage in one month. Headed by local artist Mark Barrera, the team is doing a remarkable job - the show will be beautiful!"
Playing both the Victorian and the modern George is West Bloomfield resident Gary LaKind. LaKind did a star turn as "Herod" in last year's production of "Jesus Christ Superstar," but he says that was his first on-stage experience since he was 13 years old.
In the past, LaKind did not have much time for performing in theater. He's a medical doctor who works in occupational medicine. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan and his M.D. from Des Moines University.
Playing the women in both Georges' lives is Michelle Rott Rosenblum. After 15 years of living and performing in New York City, Michelle settled down in West Bloomfield, along with her husband Ira, to raise their two children.
She holds a theater degree from Eastern Michigan University and has master's in both English and in Counseling & Psychology.
Besides her long theater experience, Michelle notes that she is one of the singers of the National Anthem at Detroit Pistons basketball games.
The play is even making its contribution to the environment.
"In an effort to be green, I've been collecting used foam-core boards from my employer, Campbell-Ewald Advertising, for almost a year and a half," Conroy said. "We've re-used the foam-core for a variety of scenic elements in this show; it's light-weight and easy to shape in all sorts of applications - and it was free. A non-profit community theater always finds it necessary to be as economical as possible."

From your selected pen kit, remove the brass tube(s) so you know how long to cut your pen blank. Lay the brass tube (or tubes for a two-barreled pen) against the blank and measure 1/16" to 1/4" longer than the tube to allow a little extra "working" material while you drill and barrel trim.
Cut the blank(s) where you marked your designated length. With a pencil or marker, draw an "X" corner-to-corner on one end of your blank to indicate the center point of the blank's end.
Use a medium drill speed to drill the blank(s). Raise the bit from the blank every 1/4" to 1/2" to allow the chips to clear from the flutes of the drill bit. Don't force the drill bit; use an even pressure and let the bit do the work. Slow up your drilling pressure as you near the bottom of your blank so you don't "blow out" the bottom of the blank.
After drilling your blank(s), use a small piece of 80-grit sandpaper and prep your brass tube(s) by sanding the tube's exterior to roughen its surface. Sanding the tube will give your glue a better grip on the inside of your blank as the brass is generally manufactured with an oily, smooth surface. Apply medium CA glue to your brass tube before inserting the tube into the drilled blank.
Barrel trimming is an important last step in preparing your pen blank as it "squares up" your pen blank at the ends and readies it for the lathe. Trim until you see the shiny top edge of the tube and that your blank material is completely flush with your tube's end. If even the slightest edge of blank material remains around the top rim of the tube, your pen will not fit together properly when pressed together. Repeat this trimming process for each end of the blank.

We are preparing to restore our vinyl shutters and have discovered Shutter ReNu, along with a few other brands, such as Shutter Saver. There is a good difference in price. Can anyone help with the "best" DIY product for this purpose? Thanks!

- ReNu vs. Other restoration
Generally you get what you pay for. We used shutter renu over 8 years ago on our faded gray shutters and they still look like the day we treated them. We also bought their siding product for our faded siding and restored our siding a year later and it still looks good. Good luck.
We have never tried shutter saver. We used vinyl renu which is made by the same people that make shutter renu (we also looked at Vistalone who makes a similar product but didnt choose them). We had allot of shutters and it was cheaper buying larger units of vinyl renew than the shutter renu packaged kit. Vinyl Renu was more money than shutter saver but they have great reviews and a contractor friend told us about it and said he uses it in his business. We figured for all the work of climbing on ladders and cleaning we didnt want to have to do it again in 3-4 years so we used vinyl renu which seems to be the longest lasting product (or lease the product with the longest claims).

Hello All…Hope you are all enjoying your summer!
Today I want to share my new Photo Wall with you…I am loving it…it makes me happy!
I have been changing some things in my house and I am loving neutral creams and whites with pops of color (blue and yellow)…but who isn't right now. I've decided that these lighter happier colors…really do make me happy.
I found this 16 in. B at Poppy Seed Projects. They have the best wooden letters…they look like Pottery Barn.
I used a chevron vinyl stencil from Poppy Seed Projects to paint the Yellow Chevron stripes on the B. I just used a sponge brush and acrylic paints from Deco Art.
I forgot to take photos along the way…darn. But to figure out the layout was not so fun. I first made a paper template of each frame and used painters tape to attach them to the wall. I moved them around several times…and over a few hours…about ready to give up a few times:) until I found a configuration that I loved. It was easy to hang them when I found the right spot. PS…these frames are from IKEA
Last fall we took these Family Photos and luckily we got some good ones. I used Crafting Chick Kirsten's Yellow Chair…love it! I agree when they say you should wear outfits in your family photos that tie in nicely with your home decor and colors.
My LOVE affair with yellow began with these two lamps from Target! I love passing by my family room photo wall and seeing my little ones…photos make me happy!:)

I L-O-V-E this!!!!!!! I have a wall in my dining area that is naked and I have been waiting for the perfect thing for it…..I found it!!!! I looked on Ikea's site and I do not see these frames…do you remember the style name? Also, did the mats come with the frames?

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.
This is the problem with liberalism. It introduces ambiguity into even the most fundamental of concepts which even children come out of the womb understanding. Thanks to the "lgbt" movement there are now 38 genders, or so I'm told.
It is in our nature to be modest, it's one of our better qualities, inasmuch as Aquinas defines virtue as the ordering of human beings to the service of our nature. Vice, the opposite of virtue, is a corruption of that nature. In other words, the highest is good is for man to live as God intended we should live.
Your argument seems to suggest that persons who adorn themselves immodestly with the intention of drawing undue attention to their body parts are not morally culpable for their actions, but only the people who predictably leer at them as a result. If you twist St. Paul's dictum to such a degree as to negate all forms of immodesty (because our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit) then what exactly is not permitted? Why is it people shouldn't (perish the thought) attend Mass without clothes?
We are temples of the Holy Spirit if and only if we tidy our bodies and prepare to receive it. The Holy Spirit isn't a squatter.
First of all speedos are beyond disgusting. Put the most gorgeous man in a speedo and he would look disgusting and ridiculous. I am not saying that a man wearing really short shorts, tight pants/jeans, or a tight shirt would cause a scandal - he would just look ridiculous. I think that you are right maybe that men are much more visual. For me I know that I notice a lot more about a man than how he physically looks. I think that men notice more also about women. You said it though "men are much more visual." I hope some of this made sense.
People have pointed out there are cultural considerations in defining what is modest. Well, the example used most that I have seen is people in Africa that wear very little even when they go to Mass because that's what they wear, is not immodest there but would be very immodest to us in the developed world. Besides that, I don't know of other places where the normal fashion would be immodest to us.
People also point out environment circumstances, too. Obviously, beach/pool vs. not beach/pool. The summer when it is hot outside.
One reason why it is important to dress modestly is to not cause scandal and tempt another to sin through objectifying you or imagining you as only something to use.
I think it is easy to agree on some clothing that is always immodest: Yoga pants/leggings all exposed, bikini, speedo for men, extremely short shorts for women (men don't wear them as far as I know), skintight shirts/tops, and cleavage revealing shirts/dresses.
Now for questions for the community to answer, and if you have reasons, I hope you include WHY you draw the lines where you do.
1. Where do you draw the line to say that women's shorts or dress/skirt length are modest and not immodest?
2. If a swimsuit is considered modest, does clothing covering an equal amount of skin in a different environment than the beach/pool also deserve to be called modest, even if it's exposing a lot of legs and shoulders?
3. Assuming we agree revealing cleavage is immodest, how much, if any, of a woman's shoulders/neck may be exposed and still be called modest? Does it make a difference if it is a fancy dress or a tank top or spaghetti strap top?
4. Jeans: they cover the legs entirely. There are definitely super tight jeans that would be immodest like yoga pants. Yet most jeans for women are not super tight, but still are form-fitting without any bagginess. Do you think the normal jeans and other form-fitting, not-baggy pants that women wear are appropriate?
I look forward to hearing what you fellow Catholics think! As of now, I myself answer my own questions as follows. Still, others might be able to persuade me to shift my views.
1. I am actually undecided about shorts. Too short is too short, but I also have the thought, "What's so bad about exposing a little more leg, something both men and women have and know how it looks?" The middle thigh is just like the lower thigh, just higher. On the other hand, I think skirts should at least drop down to the top of the knees.
2. No, an equal amount of clothing is not modest in a different environment because environment does matter.
3. I am undecided. My friend that I think cares about modesty wore a dress that exposed half of her shoulders but was not revealing, and open in back to a little below her shoulder blades, and I thought it was modest enough and she looked elegant.
4. I think they are okay if they are not super skintight because they have become so common. They don't stand out like tighter pants do.
If when the girl sits or bends over, her panties could be visible then the skirt is too short. If when walking the backside is hanging out the shorts are too short. If when they sit or are standing above someone (remember I am an archaeologist) and all the goodies in the kitchen are visible they are too short.
2. If a swimsuit is considered modest, does clothing covering an equal amount of skin in a different environment than the beach/pool also deserve to be called modest, even if it's exposing a lot of legs and shoulders?
I think there is some leeway here with bathing suits, however, I think bikinis are basically not modest ever, although the newer tankini versions are better. I generally have a swimdress, but I'd gladly wear the stuff from the early 1900's lol. . . that having been said, the last year I was allowed to wear a bikini was when I was twelve and even then my dad made my mom add two inch wide eyelet to the top and bottom of the top and to the top of the bottoms. And, I had to wear a coverup to the water front and put it back on as soon as i got out of the water. After that I had to wear a one piece. But, not all one piece suits are modest and can be as skimpy as bikinis. My little sister never wore anything but a bikini.
3. Assuming we agree revealing cleavage is immodest, how much, if any, of a woman's shoulders/neck may be exposed and still be called modest? Does it make a difference if it is a fancy dress or a tank top or spaghetti strap top?
I don't have a problem with a woman's neck and shoulders being exposed, nor the back even. However, something that plunges to the belly button in the front or to the curve of the back is too suggestive. I am also not shook up about a little bit of cleavage and am well aware that sometimes there isn't a lot one can do about cleavage unless they wear turtlenecks all the time. I don't have a problem with tank tops or spaghetti straps, especially if the bust area is well covered.
4. Jeans: they cover the legs entirely. There are definitely super tight jeans that would be immodest like yoga pants. Yet most jeans for women are not super tight, but still are form-fitting without any bagginess. Do you think the normal jeans and other form-fitting, not-baggy pants that women wear are appropriate?
Yoga pants and leggings have a place and I don't think they are immodest if worn appropriately. One of my friends is always cracking me up -- as we are on a college campus we see a lot of immodest clothing -- and she is always saying --- leggings are not pants honey, wear a tunic with them. . . lol and she's right. Worn appropriately there is nothing wrong with leggings and worn in yoga class, yoga pants are no more immodest than tights and a leotard in dance class.
As for jeans -- jeans that are painted on are inappropriate. Jeans that are so low one's backside and frontside are exposed are definitely not appropriate.
Otherwise jeans are okay.
Something you don't hear mentioned very often, but drives me crazy is not wearing a slip beneath something sheer enough to see through. . . wear a slip!!!!
Here we were discussing the context of modesty and for the most part agreeing that the beach provides a unique one. Personally, I do not wish to see people squeezed into nylon and spandex. And otherwise, I agree that modesty is a function of living our faith, both interiorly and exterioryly.
This discussion reminds me a bit of a Christopher West talk I heard, on the topic of theology of the body. And what West said now has kicked up some dirt, I mean controversy. Take a look at his words:
"The following story illustrates what mature Christian purity looks like. Two bishops walked out of a cathedral just as a scantily clad prostitute passed by. One bishop immediately turned away. The other bishop looked at her intently. The bishop who turned away exclaimed, Brother bishop, what are you doing? Turn your eyes! When the bishop turned around, he lamented with tears streaming down his face, How tragic that such beauty is being sold to the lusts of men. Which one of those bishops was vivified with the ethos of redemption? Which one had passed over from merely meeting the demands of the law to a superabounding fulfillment of the law?
West explains that the bishop who looked away was continent, but the bishop who saw rightly was virtuous.
Citing examples from Wests writings, Eden explains that, By risking, he means specifically that men who struggle with lust should practice looking at beautiful women so that they might learn to raise their thoughts and feelings from lust, to joy at encountering the image of God in female beauty.
And here's the debate:

DEVOTES-EuroMarine Summer School "Marine Ecosystem Services, Management and Governance: Linking Social and Ecological Research", Aquarium of Donostia, 6 - 9 June 2016, San Sebastián, Spain
The topic for this summer school relates to marine ecosystem services and the links between their assessment, mapping and the need for a socio-ecological framework to address the important management issues related to the governance of the oceans. Governing the oceans and keeping them in a healthy state requires activities at sea to be sustainable, so that the ecosystem services provided by the oceans and the functionality of the ecosystems can be maintained.

And I wanted to make a game with that car. Later I found the comic book by Stephen King and Joe Hill I mentioned above and thought: Yeah that could be cool getting chased by such a nasty truck!
As I got further with the project a friend of mine drew a concept for the wasteland car which was heavily armored and which suited the gameplay better, because the player is constantly scratching the obstacles and crashing through them with the nitro power-up.

By Joe Gorman
For the second day in a row, the mother of one of the 12 men accused of being members of a West Side street gang said there is no gang.
Priscilla Sheppard, mother of 21-year-old Laytton Sheppard, who is accused of being a member of the E Block Gang, said her son and the others indicted with him have been friends since childhood and they are not part of a gang.
"My son is not in a gang," she said Friday. "There is no E Block Gang."
On Thursday, another mother of one of the suspects said after nine of the alleged members were arraigned in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court that there was no gang and her son and her friends had known one another since childhood. The gang suspects were secretly indicted by a grand jury May 15 on charges ranging from participating in a criminal gang, trafficking in counterfeit controlled substances, aggravated riot, felonious assault, trafficking in cocaine and trafficking in heroin.
They were issued superseding indictments Thursday just before they were arraigned. All nine who were arraigned Thursday entered pleas of not guilty. The other three will be arraigned at later dates.
Priscilla Sheppard said her son was in trouble in 2012 but has been on probation since then and has never broken his probation.
"My son has not been doing anything," she said.
She said even though there are some houses or buildings across the city "tagged," or spray-painted with the words E Block Gang, said that is not her son or his friends.
"It's not these boys spray- painting houses," Patricia Sheppard said. "What they're saying isn't there."
The indictment specifically charges her son with felonious assault in the beating of two men Sept. 11, 2013; an aggravated robbery that occurred during the same incident; for trying to make or sell fake drugs in November of 2011; and for being part of a criminal gang.
When told of the specific charges, Priscilla Sheppard said she had no knowledge of any of them. She said she knows what her son does because he stays around home a lot because he has epilepsy and that he also has been looking for a job.
"I'm pretty much up on what my son is doing," she said.
As for the people her son associates with, she said they have all grown up together and are not part of a gang.
"He's known them since he was 6 years old," Priscilla Sheppard said. "That doesn't mean they're a gang. They [police] know nothing about these kids."
She said police have harassed her son continually for a long time and stop him for no reason and search him and have never found anything.
These women need to shut their traps. Their little angels were part of plans that included GRENADE LAUNCHERS> Sounds like a gang to me.
Well then,the cops made one hell of a mistake.
Well of course, there is no E Block Gang. It is another gang and there is only peace & harmony on the West Side.
He such a goot boy.
Mom of gang suspect: 'There is no E Block Gang'

She wasn't aware of her son's previous charges? I still say sterilization is the best route. Complete your 8th grade education then go straight to the clinic. Do us all a favor. Reproduce somewhere else.
Yes, they have parents and are someone's children, but they ARE NOT KIDS. They are adults who are legally responsible for their own actions. It's not like their mothers can take their place and serve their punishment for them. Maybe if the moms had faced the consequences of her children's behavior when they were minors they would have taught them responsibility for their actions instead of teaching them how to get out it.
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
Nice job raising that fine boy of your Priscilla, any girls?
Ole Layton is an alter boy on the weekends! What do you mean he has a rap,sheet? He doesn't have a job,,but has money? Huh? Well
Pricella open your eyes before you boy gets shot! And we wonder why people are lining up in droves to get carry conceal now that useless Wellington the old sheriff finally retired! Good Freakin riddiins! Double,dip on your retirement and go away!
A mother's love is truly blind, I guess.
Unfortunately the evidence will show otherwise, and they have a lot of it.


text: After another hiatus that lasted years i am back posting on this forum. I moved to Berlin. Sold all my Dutch folders, bikes and Raleigh 20. No regrets! I got an amazing Merida MTB and Fahrradmanufaktur tourbike here already, very cheap. Now i am planning to add a folder to the roster. Does anybody have any idea about a really good (old) folder worth picking up in Germany? No doubt there must have been at least one good design coming out of DDR or Germany? Thanks! Hope you are all well.
