Postgame Quotes
Stanford 35, UCLA 17
November 24, 2012
UCLA head coach Jim Mora
opening statement
"Congratulations to Stanford. They played a heck of a game, and they're a heck of a football team. We have some things that we have to do to get better by Friday night. We will get right back to work."
on not playing as hard as they could have
"We are competitors and those guys in there don't spend all that time preparing for a game, with the sacrifices they make, to not try their best every opportunity they get. They tried their best to win. It didn't matter. We wanted to win this game today. We came up short. To insinuate that our players didn't give their best effort - I've never, nor did I ever do that."
on difference in preparation from the week prior to the UCLA-USC game
"We're pretty consistent in our approach this week. I didn't see a whole lot of difference in our preparation and in our approach before the game. We did not play as well as we can."
on Stanford's strengths
"They're very physical. They're big. They have the same offense and same defense and they have been doing this for a long time. They have not had a lot of turnovers in their coaches. Yes, they lost Coach Harbaugh, but they kept Coach Shaw. They get off blocks well, they block well, and they are a very physical football team."
on making improvements toward next Friday's game
"Once I look at the film, I can better answer that question for you. There is a lot to learn. I'm not going to get into too many specifics. But I don't want to give away what we need to do in order to improve."
on holding back, with regard to playcalling
"No. If we were holding something back, we wouldn't have had our starters in there at the end. I wouldn't have used timeouts with 6:30 left in the game. We are trying to create a culture about winning. The only way to win is you go for it every time that you step on the field. If you didn't do that, then you cheat everybody - you cheat your alumni, your fans, your students who come watch you each Saturday, and everybody who is supporting you."
on having ever played the same team twice in six days during his career
"I don't know that I make that assumption. I've been coaching over 600 games, but there might be something in there somewhere."
on facing Oregon or Stanford to advance to the Rose Bowl
"Is that a question or a statement? I haven't thought about it. What I've thought about was playing and beating Stanford. The universe dropped off after the Stanford game. That's all we wanted to do."
on UCLA's penalties
"Too many penalties. Some were aggressive, some were a lack of focus, some were not being technically sound. It was not anything specific. Yes, it's disappointing but we have got to get over it quickly because we have a game on Friday night."
on quarterback Brett Hundley
"Brett was under a lot of pressure tonight, so we have to do a better job of finding a way to protect Brett. I think that it's a combination - pressuring with four and then they brought five and six. And sometimes we did not get open. Sometimes he didn't find the open guy. Sometimes they beat us. I think it was a combination of all those things."
on decisions to punt the football
"When Brett [Hundley] punted it, it was a little too far to go for it. The second one, we did not want to give them great field position. We had played better at that point on defense. Jeff has been better at pinning them down there."
on playing without Damien Thigpen
"It's tough when you have a turnover on special teams. There is a high correlation to winning or losing, when you have a turnover for a touchdown. We have to do a better job on our returns and of securing the football."
on penalties, dropped passes and other mistakes
"You hate to have that happen in a big game like this. I can't exactly tell you why right now. We've got to look at the film and think about how we approach this thing. Was there something that was off a little bit? We've got to get it corrected."
on playing another physical game next Friday
"I think it's important that since we are a day short in preparation, when you say get over it quick - that implies forgetting about it. We want to learn from it. We want to get over the disappointment of a loss quickly. We need to get over the disappointment of a loss."
Stanford head coach David Shaw
on next week's Pac-12 Championship game
"I expect them [UCLA] to give us everything. I expect this to be a tough, physical game. It's going to be hard. It's going to be 10 times harder than this game was. We're going to get their best shot. We have to approach this thing like a completely different game. I love our senior leadership, and it's going to be huge this week because we have to fight complacency. These guys are not going to lie down. They're going to come to Stanford and give us their best shot, and we've got to be ready for it."
on running back Stepfan Taylor
"Some other guys in other places get more publicity, and it's a shame honestly that he's not on the Doak Walker list. I think that's kind of ridiculous. He's as good as anybody in the country. He may not be as flashy as other people, but you hand him the ball and he's special with the ball. He reads blocks, he's quick, he's explosive and he can finish runs like he did twice today. He's special and I think more and more people are trying to recognize it."
on quarterback Brett Hundley
"He's so athletic and gets out of trouble because he's so slippery. He got that big run that really hurt and then there were a couple of times that we had him sacked and he got out of it. They have some dangerous weapons and if you give him too much time he's going to find them. He found a few tonight and we've got to make sure we try and bottle him up again in six days."
on Stanford's offense
"I think we're doing well. We are who we are, and we need to make sure that we're diverse enough and doing enough things. I go all the way back to spring football. This is the way we were going to play this year - physical defense, tough defense to run on, hopefully an opportunistic secondary, big, physical offensive line, a great fullback, great tight ends, a great running back and grooming another quarterback. That can't change until we're ready to change that. We're going to play our style of football and we'll take enough calculated risks and calculated shots down the field as we do in every game. But for the most part we're going to run the ball, use our athletic quarterback and play great defense."

|New research carried out by Irene Zempi at the University of Leicester, suggests that the banning of the face veil in France has led to increased hostility towards veiled Muslim women.
The findings supplement previous research by Zempi into the victimisation of veiled Muslim women and hate crimes committed against them.
From the University of Leicester's Press Office:
"Evidence shows that there is a link between the banning of the veil in France and increased levels of anti-Muslim hostility towards veiled Muslim women in the UK, according to researchers at the University of Leicester.
"Research from the Department of Criminology at the University of Leicester suggests that the veil ban stigmatises veiled Muslim women as 'criminals' and fosters Muslim 'otherness'."
Irene Zempi, from whose research the conclusions are drawn said: "In light of my interviews with veiled Muslim women, I am confident that the French veil ban is a 'trigger' event which has led to increased levels of anti-Muslim hostility towards women who wear the face veil – the most visual symbol of Islam in the West.
""The veil ban policy is a clear manifestation of Islamophobia. The veil ban is not a 'religious-blind' piece of legislation; rather it attacks 'Islam' through the religious code of dress for Muslim women."
Zempi's research draws on qualitative analysis from "individual and focus group interviews with veiled Muslim women. This research also includes interviews with French Muslim women who moved to Leicester from France after the French ban was imposed."
Zempi "argues that the veil ban policy – including support for state veil bans – is fertile ground for anti-Muslim hate crime/incidents in the public sphere.
"She continues: "The veil ban not only overshadows the fundamental issue of religious freedom as a human right, it also undercuts individual agency, privacy, and self-expression. This law oppresses women who want to wear the veil by depriving them from having control over their bodies and the way they dress."
The senior lecturer in criminology at the University, Jon Garland stated that Zempi is "uncovering alarming amounts of prejudice suffered by veiled Muslim women, but her work will hopefully help to increase understanding of this problem and thereby challenge these prejudices."
Recently published research by academics at Queen Mary, university of London, looking into the 'anti-burqa movement in western Europe' argued that legislation prohibiting the garment seems to have spread like "political swine flu". Shah and Grillo argue in the report that "Legislators have sought to impose a particular narrative of the face-veil, and it is unfortunate that they have taken it upon themselves to declare a position strongly against face veiling based on a number of narrow grounds, thus stifling or impeding what might otherwise be a 'natural' conversational and dialogical development among Muslims, and with non-Muslims, about the significance of the face-veil."
In France itself, testimony illustrates that the ban on face veils has had a significant impact on the freedom of movement and quality of life of women who choose to veil. Moreover, a report published by Amnesty International last month argued that prohibitions on the face veil have often been introduced "without consulting women affected by such prohibition", concluding that "Such legislation and policies are detrimental to women's equality and autonomy".

Road to victory...Best Warrior Competition

by Sgt. 1st Class Jose A. Gonzalez, Jr.
77th Sustainment Brigade, public affairs
3/30/2010 -
-- The road to victory is not an easy route, but for the soldiers and non-commissioned officers who took the challenge of the Best Warrior Competition, that's the route they must take. The 316th Expeditionary Sustainment Command Best Warrior Competition was held at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst March 12 - 14 hosted by the 77th Sustainment Brigade. This is the second step toward the ultimate goal of representing the United States Army Reserve Command at the U.S. Army Best Warrior Competition being held this October at Fort Lee, Va.
The competition consisted of 12 candidates, six junior enlisted and six NCO's from various commands under the 316th ESC. Each candidate was sponsored by an individual from his or her unit. The sponsor was responsible for making sure the candidates were prepared and ready for the grueling and stressful events of this competition.
"Sponsors, I appreciate you being here for the soldiers, encourage them through the process", said Command Sgt. Maj. Najee Lunde, 77th Sustainment Brigade. "It's not easy ... you and I can look from the sidelines but they are the ones that have to get up in the morning and gut this thing out."
The first event was the written exam. This tested the basic knowledge of the warriors in various military categories. The Army physical fitness test was conducted the next morning at 5 a.m. The warriors grunted out every push-up and sit-up before a two-mile run in the pouring rain.
The warriors barely had enough time to shower and eat before departing for the range to zero and qualify in their M16 rifle. Due to the high winds, the event was cancelled for safety reasons.
The contestant's next stop was the land navigation course. Each warrior had to locate four out of four points within two hours to pass. This might sound easy but the pouring rain flooded some of the points. This did not waver any of the warriors as they marched through the harsh conditions toward their objectives.
The next event consisted of several stations to challenge them on their Army warrior skills. Map reading, evaluate a casualty and vehicle search are a few of the task they had to pass. Machinegun fire and explosives simulators were added to make the scenarios more realistic and stressful for the contestants.
Day three was just as hard as day two. The competitors had an even earlier wake-up call at 4 a.m. This included day light saving time as they lost an hour of sleep. The six mile road march was next and the competitors had to make sure their rucksacks were packed according to the packing list. This is attention to detail. If one item was missing from their 60 pound rucksacks, points would be deducted from their overall time.
Next, all the warriors had to sit in front of a board consisting of the sergeant majors. This also will scale their knowledge on basic military subjects. They were also judged on their appearance wearing the Army class A's or the new Army service uniform.
After the board concluded, points were totaled up and winners for NCO and Soldier best warrior were chosen.
During the ceremony, Brig. Gen. Peter Lennon and Command Sgt. Maj. Stacey Davis, 316th Sustainment Command recognized the soldiers and NCO's that planned and executed the Best Warrior Competition. They presented each one with the Sergeant Major's Coin for excellence.
The winners of the competition were Staff Sgt. Jestin Llewellyn from Fort Belvoir, Va. won the NCO Best Warrior and Specialist Allen Fary from Fort Belvoir, Va. won the Soldier Best Warrior. Both winners, from the 55th Sustainment Brigade, were awarded an Army Commendation Medal and a plaque.
The runner-ups were Sgt. John Graniello from Sparta, N.J. for the NCO Best Warrior and Specialist Paul Bauducco from Philadelphia, Pa. for the Soldier Best Warrior. Both soldiers, from the 77th Sustainment Brigade, received a certificated of achievement for their accomplishment.
The road to victory was not an easy one. For the soldiers and NCO's of the 316th Sustainment Brigade Best Warrior Competition, the journey was sweet.

HTC One X and One V to start shipping on April 2
It looks like Taiwan and China are the first markets where the new HTC One X and HTC One V will be released.
China Times has it that the One X and One V will start shipping there on April 2 – four days before the handsets are expected to arrive in the UK. Reportedly, the One X will cost 20,900 Taiwan dollars (about $706), while the One V should obviously be cheaper: 10,900 Taiwan dollars (about $368).
The One X is HTC's latest flagship smartphone, featuring Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Sense UI 4.0, a 4.7 inch HD display, Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8MP camera, and 32GB of internal memory. A dual-core LTE version of it, called HTC One XL, will be released in the US by AT&T (Sprint may also launch this version as the HTC Jet).
The One V also comes with Android 4.0 ICS and Sense 4.0, but its specs are on the lower-end side, including a 3.7 inch WVGA display, 5MP camera, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of internal memory.

OK, we're beginning a new game show!
You can play, too.
If this were TV, I'd have some bells and whistles going off, and maybe a spinning roulette wheel turned on its side with flashing lights.
Please put that image in your head as I announce in a deep voice, "Let's play … There Are Way Too Many …"!
The rules are pretty simple. Have you grown tired of certain people or sports or political positions? If so, they could make the list. You need only to tell the host why — and you could be a winner!
Of course, everyone has their own list. And, truth is, I suspect I myself — the host of this brand new game show — might make a few lists.
Well, let's get started. Who has a nomination?
Hey, how about my ultra-conservative buddy Don Benton? He's running for re-election for the state Senate. So why is he being considered for the list?
Well, it's not because he declined to meet with The Columbian's editorial board. During political season, we invite candidates from many races to have some tough questions thrown at them.
Almost all candidates agree to come because they know we fairly throw tough questions at both liberal and conservative candidates. It's a bit like a debate — but much better — because they're not just getting milquetoast questions, and when they don't answer, we push back.
Guess Benton isn't crazy about that format.
So if it wasn't his skirting us, how'd he make the list?
Well, apparently Benton thought his opponent — state Rep. Tim Probst — was being mean.
In this case, however, most of the stuff Probst is saying has been reported in the past.
Take Benton's penchant to miss Senate votes. Lots of them. Benton has never really denied it. In fact, he has said he'd rather meet with his constituents — you know, like school classes that come up to Olympia to visit — than vote on some silly ol' bill.
Of course, other state senators have school classes coming to visit, as well. But according to one group that counted, Benton misses more votes than 95 percent of the other senators.
Then there was that little incident several years back when Benton was chairman of the state Republican Party. The executive board moved to dump him because of a little money-spending Benton did that they didn't appreciate.
Stories were done on both of these issues.
So what does Benton do in response?
Well, rather than just calling Probst a meanie, Benton went and got himself an attorney and threatened to sue.
Apparently Benton has forgotten how political races work. You sling, he slings, they all sling a little letame di mucca.
Getting an attorney and threatening to sue? Come on, man!
o o o
So who's next on my list of "There Are Way Too Many …"?
You guessed it. Attorneys.
I should admit up front, I have a deep love for attorneys. Every single dang one of them.
But what should an attorney do when someone like Benton says, "I want to sue da bum?"
Well, they should tell him to watch "Sleepless in Seattle" and then take a nap.
I realize there ain't no law compelling attorneys to not do stupid stuff. But there should be.Lou Brancaccio is The Columbian's editor. Reach him at 360-735-4505, firstname.lastname@example.com or Twitter: http://twitter.com/lounews.

'Work of Art,' Season 1, Episode 3, 'Judging a Book by Its Cover': TV Recap
Previously on "Work of Art," our fearless artistes tried to make sculptures out of junk. Miles won for the second time in a row with his kind of brilliant, kind of ridiculous "Big Pillow Surrounded By Concrete A–holes," while Trong was sent home for simultaneously being an elitist and being a hack.
At the top of the episode, contestants are complaining about Miles's winning streak. John wonders what he has to do to emerge victorious in a challenge: "Sleep in the gallery, or make an asshole out of concrete?" No, we are not yet tired of writing the phrase "concrete a–hole."
The cast gathers in the gallery, where China is waiting for them. Behind her hang a group of posterboards, each emblazoned with a question mark. Before they can find out what the question marks are hiding, each artist is asked to pick a paint tube from a box. Paint is to artists as knives are to chefs, we guess. The tubes have words like "monster," "love," and "time travel" printed on them—and each word has been printed at least twice.
China then leads them behind the question marks to reveal that on the back of each poster board, there's the cover of some well-known 19th-century novel: "Dracula," "Alice in Wonderland," "The Time Machine," and three others. The words printed on the paint tubes each correspond to one of the novels. The challenge? Each artist must design his own cover for one of these classics. Since there are twelve artists and six books, they'll each be working with the same book as one of their competitors.
Then a special guest arrives: Kathryn Court, the president and publisher of Penguin Books. She tells the artists that the winning design will actually appear on the cover of a Penguin book. Whoa—high schoolers around the country will be forced to purchase something created on a reality show!
The artists shop for supplies. Jaclyn says that though she hasn't read her book, "Pride and Prejudice," she has seen the movie—so she knows that it's "a love story" and "a little tragic." She decides to do a partially nude photo shoot for her cover, because when one thinks of the prim and mannered world of Jane Austen, one automatically also thinks of naked chicks.
Mark, who's got "Dracula," has decided to make something "menacing." He also wants to "represent 'Dracula' in a more young, modern way." Oh no—does anyone else smell "Twilight" ripoff?
Miles has "Frankenstein," but he feels guilty about designing a cover for a book he's never read. So he decides to take four hours and skim through Mary Shelley's classic, which we can't fault him for because "Frankenstein" really is a wonderful book.
John is evidently pretty self-centered—his work all has to do with his own "reality"—so he wants to design a time machine "that I would want to ride in." That means making something abstract, graphic, and brightly colored.
Jaclyn, who is "actually kind of a shy person," is doing her naked photo shoot in the bathroom. Just as Elizabeth Bennet herself would have done, had she been a hot lady artist on a Bravo series.
Hours later, Miles emerges from the closet, "shocked at how good" "Frankenstein" is. Told you so! Now he's really inspired.
Simon enters, excited to see how they're tackling the challenge. He tells John that his "time machine" is graphically striking, but possibly too abstract. He's also not quite sure what to make of Peregrine's complicated design.
Oh God—Jaclyn's naked Jane Austen cover is just horrendous. Simon tentatively asks her if she's thought about lettering, and Jaclyn is stumped—"It's… going to be, like… more modern? But modern-classic—not like, I don't know… modern," she finally spits out. Jaclyn wants her cover to depict "the love story between Elizabeth and Darby." For crying out loud, has this woman not even seen "Bridget Jones's Diary"?
Judith, who's also working with "Pride and Prejudice,"has decided for some reason to finger paint her cover. Simon asks her how it relates to the contents of the book, and her answer is predictably nonsensical. Friends of Jane everywhere are yelling at their TV screens right now, wondering why they ever put down "Persuasion" in favor of watching the idiot box.
You know that Judith's design is truly awful when Jaclyn turns to the camera and says that her competitor "no idea what she is doing. She's like, finger painting!" At least Judith also recognizes that what she's making isn't turning out the way she thought it would. Nicole is sympathetic because Judith has been in the art world for a long time, and she must feel uncomfortable being told what to do. Then why did you try out for the reality show, Judy?
Uh-oh—time's up, and Abdi has "absolutely nothing done" because he hates his cover.The next day, he'll only have 59 minutes to put together a finished book cover. Judith, too, decides to completely redo her piece as she talks wildly to herself. She thinks that writing the name of the book backwards in huge bubble letters is a good idea.
It's gallery show time. Their guest judge for this episode will be Jonathan Santloffer, an artist-slash-author. Jaime looks at her "Dracula" cover and think it looks "really good." Nao is also really pleased with the way people are responding to her work, a self-portrait (of course) meant to evoke "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."Judith's also smiling, even though her bizarre graphic treatment is so odd that all China can do when she sees it is mutter, "Oh, Judith, Judith, Judith."
John, Judith, Peregrine, Mark, and Jaclyn are all asked to stick around so the judges can ask them questions. Jerry likes how John's "Time Machine" looks sort of like a futuristic human head.
Then—gulp—it's Judith's turn. The first thing China asks is "what language" her cover is in. "It's "Edirp e Cidujerp," Judith helpfully explains—"Pride and Prejudice" in reverse. Jaclyn just barely stops herself from laughing out loud. "It's really not a good thing to make your public and your reader feel stupid," guest judge Jonathan tells Judith. "And I felt a little stupid, like, how come I don't know what language this is?" Judith protests by saying that she's a "fine artist" who "doesn't work on assignment." Again—then why in God's name would you audition for and accept a spot on a reality show?
Mark's "Dracula" cover, which has blood trickling at the top and a sexy male figure on the bottom, gets props for being the most commercial of the bunch. After all, that's what this challenge was getting at, Judith. Jonathan does think it's a little pulpy, though.
Next up is Jaclyn. She explains that getting "Pride and Prejudice" was serendipitous, because she's been looking for a chance to take naked pictures of herself on TV. Oh, sorry—because "it's about very morally ambiguous characters, and that's something I'm concerned with in my own work."Seriously? Somehow, the judges are actually telling her that this—a wan watercolor of the back of a naked woman holding a top hat—would have been better if she had used her original picture instead of painting something. Also, she spelled Jane Austen's name wrong in the piece.
Peregrine's cover, a collection of sketchy shapes all clustered around the words "The Time Machine," is an interesting-looking object that has nothing to do with "The Time Machine," says Jerry. Jeanne wonders why there isn't anything in the image that screams "sci-fi." Jonathan really gives it the kiss of death when he compares it to wallpaper, which reminds us of the critiques they gave Amanda's losing piece back in episode 1.
Deliberations. Everyone loves Mark's, which actually looks like a book cover. John's piece looks like "a head from the planet pineapple," says Jerry, which is apparently a good thing. Jeanne thinks that Jaclyn's looks like something she made in middle school. Bill is all for breaking rules, but thinks "if you're going to break them, show up with something that's more interesting." Judith didn't do that. Jeanne is mad that Peregrine's makes "The Time Machine" look like a fairy tale.
Oh look, John, it looks like you didn't have to make a concrete a–hole to win after all! His "Time Machine" cover is picked over Mark's to be printed on Penguin books and sold nationwide. After a brief celebration, the bottom three are brought back in. Weirdly, their outfits seem to be color-coordinated. Finally, Judith is put out of her misery and asked to leave. So long, crazy lady—or should we say "Gnol os"?
Next week, the artists must create something shocking. It looks like Jaclyn's going to get naked again. Art imitates life imitates art!

Student loan firm fails sending email
Mass emails students' details
UK GOVERNMENT QUANGO Student Finance England has mistakenly broadcast thousands of its customers' email addresses.
The company, which makes loans to students, emailed some of its customers yesterday but managed to put all of their email addresses in the main 'To' field of the email. The emails were sent to students due to start taking courses this year and gave them rather a bad start to their academic careers.
The fact that their personal email addresses were shown means that were exposed to other users, leaving the company embarrassed and 8,000 students wondering whether they will end up on spam and cybercrime target lists.
Student Finance England, part of the larger Student Loans Company, has apologised and the group confessed to sending the emails on its web site.
"We are sorry that a number of student email addresses have been included in an email which has been sent to other customers. The information was sent in error and only included email addresses, no other personal student data was shared," it said.
"We have contacted all customers affected to let them know about this issue. The integrity and security of student accounts and the protection of personal information is vital to us and we apologise to all of the students involved." µ

Next month San Francisco Performances (SFP) will present the last of the Special Events concerts it has planned for the 2013–14 season. This will be a return visit by the virtuoso mandolinist Chris Thile. During his last appearance, his debut as a solo recitalist for SFP, in April of 2012, Thile assembled an engaging program of eclectic tastes, that covered traditional music, popular songs, and even some of his own work; and he arranged all of these selections around the "spinal cord" of his interpretation of the four movements of Johann Sebastian Bach's BWV 1001 unaccompanied violin sonata in G minor, each of the movements serving as a "milestone" for the "journey" through the entire journey. Then, in August of 2013, Nonesuch release the first CD in a two-CD series of Thile performing the complete set of Bach's solo violin sonatas and partitas.
As was the case during his last visit, Thile will announce his program from the stage. However, Bach will again figure significantly among the diversity of selections he will be preparing for the concert. It is also likely that Thile will again respond to requests from the audience, given the breadth and flexibility of his repertoire.
Thile's solo recital will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, February 14, at the SFJAZZ Center (201 Franklin Street, on the northwest corner of Fell Street). Tickets are on sale for $80, $65, and $40. Further information may be obtained from SFP at 415-398-6449. Tickets may also be purchased through the Web page for this event.
The following morning Thile will return to the SFJAZZ Center to give the third concert in the SFP Family Matinee Series. This will follow the usual format that combines performance with explanation. Time is allotted for questions from the audience, regardless of age. The entire program is only one hour in duration and is recommended for children aged from 2 to 10.
This program will begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday, February 15, at the SFJAZZ Center. Like all presentations in this Series, admission is $10 for children and $15 for adults. Tickets may again be purchased in advance through an event page.

Take Shape, SJH is a new weight loss program supervised by the St. Joseph's Hospital Wellness Program. The Take Shape for Life program features Medifast products. These products have a proven record of success have been used by physicians and other health professionals for more than 25 years. Take Shape, SJH integrates these proven products in a way that helps you to lose weight while feeling energized and satisfied. Our program enables you to develop relationships with the staff of the hospital's Wellness Program, who will act as your health coach as you "take shape."
Under the program, you can expect to lose an average of 2 to 5 pounds a week. Many participants also reduce their dependence on medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, and other medical problems. Take Shape, SJH is a good fit for someone who wants to lose a pesky 10 pounds before a special event, and it also a good fit for someone who needs to lose as much as 100 pounds or more. Most importantly, Take Shape, SJH will not only help you to lose weight, but it will also help you to keep it off.
Under the program, you can plan to lose an average of two to five pounds per week. The program involves eating five Medifast/Take Shape for Life meals each day and a homemade "lean and green" meal consisting of a lean protein and vegetables. Medifast meals include shakes, bars, puddings, soups, oatmeals, scrambled eggs and snacks. The meals are prepackaged to make staying on plan as easy as possible. Because you make your "lean and green" meal yourself, you are still able to shop and prepare fresh food, and you can even go out to eat as long as you stick with healthy food choices.
Unlike some diets or weight loss plans that can be harmful or unhealthy, Take Shape for Life was developed by a physician and has the backing of thousands of physicians nationwide. Health systems such as Johns Hopkins have been using Medifast products for years to help patients lose weight and achieve better health.
Because you will be part of Take Shape, SJH, you'll have access to the Wellness Program's health coaches, who will act as mentors and provide advice and assistance throughout your weight loss journey. Each St. Joseph's health coach is a health care professional who can draw from years of experience to help participants achieve drastically improved health.
By participating in Take Shape, SJH, you can achieve the following:

Health Coach, Take Shape, SJH
I am a master's-prepared, board-certified family nurse practitioner. At 4'11" tall, I have struggled with weight issues since age 42, following the birth of my third child. I developed gestational diabetes during that pregnancy, although I hadn't gained excessive weight.
We all deal with patients who do not exercise and eat mindlessly and often excessively, but I was not one of those patients. Since my mother died from morbid obesity and complications of diabetes, and three of my siblings are insulin-using diabetics (one sibling is 340 pounds and another has had gastric bypass surgery), I referred myself to an endocrinologist to seek help. I have been with the endocrinologist for more than eight years now. Initially prescribed Metformin, I took that for a couple of years but became unable to tolerate the drug. Actose caused massive headaches, so I stopped taking that medication. I joined a local gym (now Cicero Family Sports Center) where I enrolled in a weight training program, which I continue to attend twice weekly. I also exercised at least three times a week using the cross trainer and Precor machines. Despite those measures, I had been unable to get my BMI below a 28 or 29.
Diet? I tried Barry Searle's Zone Diet, Mediterannean Diet, and I also tried living on Slimfast bars and shakes, then Special K bars and shakes. Prior to using the Take Shape Medifast products, I was eating 1,200-1,500 calories a day and taking Phentermine which had been prescribed by my endocrinologist. After taking phentermine for about three years, I began to notice vasoconstriction in my feet and mild elevation of blood pressure, which I had not had before. The phentermine dose was decreased, but that did not resolve the vasoconstriction issues. In October 2008, I began Zumba classes at our gym several times a week in conjunction with my weight training program. My inches decreased but my weight did not budge, and I was constantly hungry. I discontinued the Phentermine in November 2009 due to the vasoconstriction, and then my weight began to creep up.
I began the Medifast program on Feb. 22, 2010. Although the program guidelines state that hunger resolves after three to five days, mine did not. On day eight, I considered stopping the program, since I was hungry and felt weak and faint. On day nine, I awoke to a "new world." My hunger was gone and my energy level escalated. The scale began to move. As of April 30, 2010, I am down 20.5 pounds. I am not particularly hungry and feel great. My BMI is currently 25. At age 58 and post-menopausal for 10 years, I am thinner than I was in my mid-30s. I have recruited two siblings to start the program. I plan to lose another 9.5 pounds and maintain that weight, which will bring my BMI to 23.5. I am enjoying Zumba more than ever, since the "hip-hop" moves are easier on my knees.
Although my total weight loss will be only 30 pounds, on a 4'11" frame that is quite significant. I believe the combination of adequate protein and lower carbohydrate intake has been the key. Although it appeared to me that I consumed adequate protein, evidently that was not the case. I saw a friend this week who I had net seen in about six months. She told me I looked 10 years younger and asked me what I was doing!
"Eating six times a day on the Take Shape, SJH program is really working for me. I am rarely hungry in between meals and I am not thinking about food all the time like I used to."
--Julie, Take Shape, SJH Participant
"Take Shape, SJH has given me my life back! I have more energy than I have had in years. I am not walking around hungry all the time, nor am I worried about what my next meal will be. This program is great!"
--Christine, Nurse and Take Shape, SJH Participant
"I love the Take Shape, SJH program! There is such a variety of food choices that it is truly impossible not to find food to your liking. After I take just a few bites, my stomach begins to feel satisfied and I am good for two to three more hours. The food prep is simple and fits right into my busy schedule. My biggest challenge is remembering to eat six times a day! I am losing weight at a fairly good pace and after just two weeks I feel energized and happier. I am a very health conscious registered nurse and I am sold on the Take Shape, SJH program."
--Maryjo, Nurse and Take Shape, SJH Participant

Friday link love
Good morning everyone! Seeing as I haven't taken a single photo this week I am replacing "week in instagrams" with some warm fuzzy link love. These are posts that I have discovered throughout the week that I thought you might enjoy. Spring has finally arrived in Bergen so I have a feeling there will be a whole lot more photos taken from now on, but for now, kick back and relax with a cup of tea and some fabulous blog posts :)

FRESNO, Calif. - The speed of Haley Gilleland, power of Courtney Moore, arm of Michelle Moses and a host of spectacular defensive efforts helped Fresno State eliminate defending Western Athletic Conference champion Hawai'i 2-1 on Thursday night at Bulldog Diamond.
"We knew we had our backs against the wall," head coach Margie Wright said. "Everyone was relaxed and focused. We started off great with Haley's triple and went from there. They are good ball players and knew what they had to do. They have a lot of guts and they showed that."
Gilleland smacked a game-opening triple to the right field alley and scored moments later when Andrea Ortega lifted a sacrifice fly to quickly push the Dogs - who were the designated visiting team - in front for an early 1-0 lead.
Moore extended Fresno State's lead to 2-0 with a sixth-inning rainbow solo shot over the right field chain-linked fence.
Junior pitcher Michelle Moses contained a potent Hawai'i offense and allowed only a run in the sixth as the Dogs cruised to the 2-1 victory.
"There was no pressure going into today," said the four-year starting shortstop Gilleland. "You just go in and do well. Moore's home run won the ball game for us."
"Every at bat I want to do the best I can," said Moore. "We knew what to do today and Haley started us off strong."
While Moore's homer proved to be the difference, the Bulldogs' defensive brilliance were just as key - especially two incredible catches by Ortega and a pair of sixth-inning web gems that halted a late Hawai'i comeback bid.
Second-team All-WAC second baseman Brooke Ortiz made a diving catch and quickly flipped to Gilleland for a double play and Caitlin Stiglich pulled in a foul ball near the first base dugout to end the frame.
"Our effort was better," said Wright. "Dre (Ortega) made great plays in left field and her catch was major league. Caitlin Stiglich catching that pop up after the collision was key. She gutted it out and did a great job."
No. 3 Fresno State will face No. 6 Louisiana Tech at 4:30 p.m. in an elimination game and a rematch of Wednesday's tournament opener that the Lady Techsters won 2-0 behind a strong pitching performance by senior Meghan Krieg.
"We are taking it one game at a time and are prepared for everyone," said Wright.
"We Are You Team!" - Fresno State is hosting the 2011 Western Athletic Conference Tournament until May 14. Tickets are available by calling 278-DOGS or visiting the 2011 WAC Tournament Central. You can always stay connected with Fresno State Athletics on Facebook and Twitter (@FSAthletics).

In the late 90s, pretty much any teen movie that was released featured girls in midriff-baring crop tops – think "She's All That" and "10 Things I Hate About You." Well girls, guess what? The trend is back! The Runway has featured many different designers with many different versions of this look so no matter if you're fearless or modest, you can wear this trend.
There are four different variations of this style so read on to figure out which style is better suited for you and so you know what to look for in stores.
For a more elegant look, dresses are now featuring slits along the waistline making it look like a two-piece ensemble.
For a more fearless and chic look, designers have created tops that bare the entire midriff. This is a good look for going out but if played up properly, you might be able to get away with it even during the day.
Go sheer. You can get a really cute crop top and layer a sheer top over it for an edgy look since sheer is a continuing trend this season.
Cutaways are very in right now. Many dresses are cutting out simple details in dresses exposing the midriff. This look is very in right now.
Whatever your choice of style may be, you can surely rock this style your own way as so many designers are creating varieties of this look. FYI, for all of you that are just too shy to go along with this style … here's a little tip: layer a crop top over a tank top! There's absolutely no reason you can't wear this style. So get up and go shopping! You can fins this style in practically any store right now so go out and have some fun!
What do you think of the crop top? Email me at email@example.com. TTYL! XOXO!

Sunday the 20th was this month's Supreme Pro Wrestling's show held within the confines of the S.P.W. Arena. Today's card featured all three titles being defended along with two number one contender's spots being decided for the Extreme and Tag Team titles. The S.P.W. Heavyweight title drama continues with J.D. Bishop continuing to possess said title whilst Dexter St. Jock still being the champion. Another big question is who will Josh "Scoot" Robertson come to the Arena dresses as this month?
The results for the card are as followed:
First bout featured the debut of "Stone Cold" Scoot Robertson who cut an in ring promo before being defeated by Hippity Hop Harry by pin fall.
Second bout: Reno Scum member Paul Isadora defeat T'Lo the Insano by pinfall
Third bout: Number one contender's match for the SPW Tag Team titles featured Reno Scum. Legacy of Brutality and The Honor Society. The Reno Scum win by pin fall.

Trying to watch what you eat? Start dining with your most diet-conscious gal pals.
MyHealthNewsDaily reports that a new Dutch study looked at female strangers who were made to eat together and found they ate at pretty much the same pace.
"If we want to be liked, we imitate more, without being aware of it," Roel Hermans, study author from the Netherlands' Radboud University Nijmegen, tells the news service. "In our study, two previously unknown women were interacting with each other, and it is possible that their motive to get along with each other, or their motivation to be liked, might have increased their likelihood of mimicry."
Don't you just love it? Women becoming friends over pasta and potatoes, one delicious bite at a time.

Hop Notes and Better World Books giving away books about beer
Visit Better World Books during Goshen's First Friday for a chance to win a book and a Bell's Brewery mug
During Goshen's First Friday on March 7, I am teaming up with Better World Books to celebrate March - Beer Book Month. We have several books to give away including another one that just arrived from the publisher. The Great Northeast Brewery Tour by Ben Keene will introduce the reader to sixty two of the most incredible breweries in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and Washington, D.C.
New England and the Mid-Atlantic are home to some of America's most interesting craft breweries including Dogfish Head of Delaware, Allagash Brewing of Maine, Smuttynose Brewing of New Hampshire, Brewery Ommegang of New York, Troegs Brewing of Pennsylvania, and Hill Farmstead Brewing of Vermont.
Brewery profiles include interesting facts about each brewery and its history, along with useful information like directions, nearby accommodations, and local dining options that highlight craft beer. Full-color photography accompanies each profile, and sidebars throughout the text provide supplementary information on tasting methods, beer styles, and more.
To read more about the other books that will be available in the free drawing, click here.
Starting around 6:00, I will be on hand at Better World Books to chat about the books that are available through the drawing, as well as many more beer books in stock at the book store. To read a review about my favorite beer book, Locally Brewed, click here.
The Constant Spring will have a Bell's Tap Takeover on Friday, March 14, so I will have plenty of Bell's stickers on hand for you as well. And as an added bonus, I am throwing in one of the mugs that I make for Bell's Brewery in addition to a book to the first name drawn. We will start drawing names around 8:30, and I believe that we have about 5 books total to give away. Come out to enjoy First Friday, put your name in the drawing at Better World Books, head next door to the Spring to enjoy a beer, and then come back to see if your name was drawn for a prize. Sounds like an excellent Friday night to me.

Many people have speculated that Obama is a direct operator for the C.I.A., which explains the complete cronyism and deception in his every act as President. This wouldn't surprise me. Others speculate that he is just an empty-suit political hack who was informed about "how things work" by the shadow government after he was sworn in. This wouldn't surprise me either. More importantly, what we can all agree on now is that it is certainly one or the other. Retired C.I.A. analyst Ray McGovern has come out and given his opinion in a recent interview. His best line, and one that sums it up perfectly is:
I think he's just afraid and he shouldn't have run for president if he was going to be this much of a wuss.
More from Mondoweiss:
Obama has abandoned progressive principles, such as stopping drone attacks and shutting down Guantanamo, because he is afraid of being assassinated, telling friends, "Don't you remember what happened to Martin Luther King Jr.?" retired CIA analyst Ray McGovern said today.
McGovern spoke on WBAI's show Law and Disorder this morning. He was talking about his recent article calling Obama "a wuss" and speculated that Obama had also placed John Brennan as head of the CIA out of fear that the CIA might turn on him, as it had on John Kennedy.
During his CIA career, Ray McGovern prepared daily briefings for the president and chaired the National Intelligence Estimates. He is now a leading antiwar activist.
Ratner then said, "I represent Guantanamo people. I thought the biggest lie in the speech was—'I have tried to close Guantanamo.'" There are half a dozen ways in which Obama "has actually sabotaged the closing of Guantanamo. Straight lie."
McGovern goes on to state:
So you need to read this book, and then you need to reflect on Obama. If he is sort of a wuss or a wimp or a person who just has no real principles but is rather a politician through and through– and he's got two small kids and he doesn't want to get killed. I have to say I never thought I would hear myself saying this, but it is the only logical explanation for why he is so afraid, unless you say the man is a through and through charlatan, that he actually is acting on behalf of these forces of darkness. I don't believe the latter. I think he's just afraid and he shouldn't have run for president if he was going to be this much of a wuss.

Just before the weekend kicked off, HBO teased a trailer for its upcoming comedy series, Silicon Valley, from creator Mike Judge. You might have watched some of Judge's previous content, such as Beavis & Butthead, Office Space, and King of the Hill.
The new HBO comedy comes from Judge's experience as a Silicon Valley engineer back in the late 80s. The show will follow introverted, social misfits living in a "Hacker Hostel," a "startup incubator" owned by millionaires in Silicon Valley. The show will see an 8-episode run starting on April 6. The trailer is pretty NSFW thanks to its content, but I'm incredibly excited to see what Judge can deliver.

Skipping Sleep May Lead to Weight-Gain
Stop yawning! It's a bad sign. Discussed at the American Thoracic Society's International Conference, a new study suggests body mass index and sleep share a strong relationship. Scientists analyzed sleep, activity levels and energy expenditure of 14 nurses enrolled in a heart-health program, which included stress management and sleep improvement. Data revealed numerous conclusions, but most notably that insufficient sleep causes or worsens stress, leading to stress eating and weight-gain; via EurekAlert!
Sleep is very important. According to Dr. Fuhrman, sleep allows your body to clean up brain waste, which helps keep your nervous and endocrine systems functioning normally. Your immune system too! Not getting enough sleep makes you more likely to get the sniffles.
And just last week, a report conveyed the grim news that lack of sleep in areas with extended seasons of daylight, like Greenland, increases the number of suicides. Eek!

Kaiser Richmond
re: Kaiser in Richmond
We go to Kaiser Richmond and I have to say we've been very satisfied there.
They have a great pediatric dept. Our regular ped. is Dr. Berman but we've seen other Drs. there on various occasions and have been happy with all of them. OB-GYN, same thing... They also have a Women's Health Care dept which is separate (I think) from OB-GYN, and a women's breast clinic. A lot of really nice, caring Drs. Nurses, Aids are in Richmond.
I'm not as familiar with everyone in the medical dept, but I see a nurse practitioner, Marianna Phillipek who is more wholistic minded than many other Drs. and nurses there.
The few times we've had emergencies we've been taken care of immediately and with care that made me feel confident. I'm the type of patient who asks a lot of questions and I do a lot of my own research if I have a specific issue. I've almost always been treated with patience and respect (have seen a few drs. over the years that were a bit too arrogant for my taste, but that's the exception, not the rule). I like Richmond also because it's small, so usually my appointments are on time. Can't say anything about therapists there, haven't had experience with them, but Medical, OB and Pediatrics I think are great. Good luck. anon

Gentlemen prefer blondes : the illuminating diary of a professional lady (original 1925; edition 1992)
by Anita Loos
Work details
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes by Anita Loos (1925)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I ended up liking this more than I thought I would, it is startling to realize that it was written more than 90 years ago. There were several moments that I laughed out loud. I need to re-watch one of the movies.
I found this book to be very entertaining and extremely silly. Although i its short I had to read it in chunks because it started to grate on me after too much time, so it took a while. That said, the voice of the protagonist was endearing and funny and it was a great fun read.
While at times it was entertaining and hilarious, I was mostly bored as I read the book. Lorelei is extraordinarily brainless and the best parts are where she is being insulted and takes it as a compliment. Loos does a brilliant job of capturing Lorelei's character in the words and how she uses them on the page (intentionally rife with misspellings and repeated words (very 90s Valley Girl esque only "so" and "and" and "really" instead of "like" and "totally").
A very very very light but amusing book. In fact it was so light, I was surprised it did not float to the ceiling when I put it down! Easily read in an hour or two, and perfect for a time when you are slightly down and feel that your mood needs to be lightened.
Stanford's "Another Look" Book Club got me to read Anita Loos comic masterpiece "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" in Kindle format since I was too embarrassed to put the actual book on my shelf. The Marilyn Monroe film version is wonderful in a very different way, placed in a 1950s context, while the book is pure 1920s flapper jazz age. The 1925 book is told in the voice of a young female con artist-grifter whose blythe spirit, sexy looks, and commercial cunning raise her out of a background of rape and violence into moneyed luxury and even marriage to a millionaire. But she is no ordinary gold-digger, she is writing this diary (with inspired malapropisms) as she travels to the Central of Europe and encounters Munchen with its High Brow Kunst and Half Brow beer. She encounters Dr. Froyde in Vienna, and he tells her she needs a few more inhibitions, and to get some sleep. While she writes she starts to script her life and writes herself a highly improbably happy ending worthy of Disney Hollywood: she marries a boring millionaire but links up with another low life to write movie "scenarios." Her Presbyterian husband underwrites the films and works as the censor to edit out the steamy scenes, something he enjoys doing. As Lorelei says it's all devine. It would seem like total fantasy except that at the same time Anita Loos was writing it, Clare Boothe (the other loose woman) lived the story in real life as a showgirl turned writer and married her first millionaire at age 20...

The delirious 1925 Jazz-Age classic that no less an authority than Edith Wharton called "the great American novel."If any American fictional character of the twentieth century seems likely to be immortal, it is Lorelei Lee of Little Rock, Arkansas, the not-so-dumb blonde who knew that diamonds are a girl's best friend. Outrageous, charming, and unforgettable, she's been portrayed on stage and screen by Carol Channing and Marilyn Monroe and has become the archetype of the footloose, good-hearted gold digger, with an insatiable appetite for orchids, champagne, and precious stones. Here are her "diaries," created by Anita Loos in the Roaring Twenties, as Lorelei and her friend Dorothy barrel across Europe meeting everyone from the Prince of Wales to "Doctor Froyd"-and then back home again to marry a Main Line millionaire and become a movie star. In this delightfully droll and witty book, Lorelei Lee's wild antics, unique outlook, and imaginative way with language shine.

MODERN & CONTEMPORARY FICTION (POST C 1945). This delirious 1925 Jazz Age classic introduced readers to Lorelei Lee, the small-town girl from Little Rock, who has become one of the most timeless characters in American fiction. Outrageous and charming, this not-so-dumb blonde has been portrayed on stage and screen by Carol Channing and Marilyn Monroe and has become the archetype of the footloose, good-hearted gold digger (not that she sees herself that way). Masquerading as her diaries, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes follows Lorelei as she entertains suitors across Europe before returning home to marry a millionaire. In this delightfully droll and witty book, Lorelei's glamorous pragmatism shines, as does Anita Loos's mastery of irony and dialect. A craze in its day and with ageless appeal, this new Liveright edition puts Lorelei back where she belongs: front and center.… (more)

Positive Atheism's Big List of
George Bernard Shaw
No-Frames Quotes Index
Load This File With Frames Index
Home to Positive Atheism
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)
The fact that a believer is happier than a sceptic is no more to the point than the fact that
a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.
In your Salvation shelter I saw poverty, misery, cold and hunger. You gave them bread and treacle and dreams of heaven. I give from thirty shillings a week to twelve thousand a year. They find their
own dreams; but I look after the drainage.
All the sweetness of religion is conveyed to the world by the hands of storytellers and image-makers. Without their fictions the truths of religion would for the multitude be neither intelligible nor
even apprehensible; and the prophets would prophesy and the teachers teach in vain.
Whoever admits that anything living is evil must either believe that God is malignantly capable of creating evil, or else believe that God has made many mistakes.
At present there is not a single
credible established religion in the world.
We know now that the soul is the body, and the body the soul. They tell us they are different because they want to persuade us that we can keep our souls if we let them make slaves of our bodies.
What is wrong with priests and popes is that instead of being apostles and saints, they are nothing but empirics who say "I know" instead of "I am learning," and pray for credulity
and inertia as wise men pray for scepticism and activity.
Common people do not pray; they only beg.
All great truths begin as blasphemies.
I'm not a teacher: only a fellow-traveller of whom you asked the way. I pointed ahead -- ahead of myself as well as you.
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.
Science becomes dangerous only when it imagines that it has reached its goal.
Education: A succession of eye-openers each involving the repudiation of some previously held belief.
You are all fundamentalists with a top dressing of science. That is why you are the stupidest of conservatives
and reactionists in politics and the most bigoted of obstructionists in science itself. When it comes to getting a move on you are all of the same opinion: stop it, flog it, hang it, dynamite it, stamp it out.
All censorships exist to prevent anyone from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing
institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorship.
Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.
When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty.
He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
The early Christian rules of life were not made to last, because the early Christians did not believe that the world itself was going to last.
A miracle is an event which creates faith. Frauds deceive. An event which creates faith does not deceive; therefore it is not a fraud, but a miracle.
The Jews generally give value. They make you pay; but they deliver the goods. In my experience
the men who want something for nothing are invariably Christians.
What is laisser-faire but an orthodoxy? The most tyrannous and disastrous of all the orthodoxies, since it forbids you even to learn.
Self-denial is not a virtue: it is only the effect of prudence on rascality.
Why should we take advice on sex from the pope? If he knows anything about it, he shouldn't!
What a man believes may be ascertained, not from his creed, but from the assumptions on which habitually acts.
I believe in Michael Angelo, Velasquez, and Rembrandt; in the might of design, the
mystery of color, the redemption of all things by Beauty everlasting, and the message of Art that has made these hands blessed. Amen. Amen.
The national anthem belongs to the eighteenth century. In it you find us ordering God about to do our political dirty work.
My way of joking is to tell the truth. It's the funniest joke in the world.
Every step of progress means a duty repudiated and a Scripture torn up.
The Christian doctrine of the uselessness of punishment and the wickedness of revenge has not, in spite of its simple common sense, found a single convert among the nations.
The fires of Smithfield and the Inquisition were lighted by earnestly pious people who were kind and good as as kindness and goodness go.
Beware of the man whose god is in the skies.
What bereaved people need is a little comic relief, and this is why funerals are so farcical.
Don't order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple.... Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don't know; and they
think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.

|Check-in before
Despues de todos los problemas que tuvimos, al final no ha estado mal. De todas formas he de decir que el apartamento no es nada del otro mundo. La situacion, perfecta, pero por dentro, dejaba mucho que desear. Una de las camas era el sofa-cama, y este no abria, dos personas tuvieron que dormir en el suelo, sobre un colchon de 5 centimetros de grosor. Exceptuando una habitacion, las otras dos eran pequeñas. Falto de utensilios de cocina, no hay mesa en el salon, etc...En definitiva, muy muy muy regular.
Fantastische locatie midden het oude Lissabon - top voor diegenen die sfeer willen proeven. Veel traditioneel Portugese restaurantjes en cafés in de buurt. Uitstekend uitgerust appartement inclusief vaatwasser en wasmachine. TV konden we niet goed aan de praat krijgen maar ja.. wie gaat er nou naar Lissabon om TV te kijken!
We had a very nice stay in an amazing apartment in an amazing city. Very good contact with the host before and during the travel.
10/10 would book again.
Although it has been some time, I remember very well that it was a great experience to stay at this appartment for some days. We even stayed longer than intended and that was no problem at all. Beautiful view when sitting on the rooftop at night or day. The slanted walls throughout the whole appartment give it a funky feeling, but is a bit inconvenient for very tall people. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting a Lisboa city experience, as it is very central and close to most sights.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The apartment corresponds to the Wimdu description.
Few remarks : as required we called 30 minutes prior our arrival, and we had to wait the key holder 20min. in front of the building, as their office is stayed 10min. far from the building. Very unpleasant. During the stay, we had to manage the drying of some sheets and towels from one previous occupiers. Handles of some pans were nearly broken, very dangerous with boiling water.
The 3-level stairs are significantly steep. Coul be added in the description.
However, the stay was pleasant and conveniently situated.
Upsides - Absolutely amazing location. Beautiful apartment. Friendly staff. Bottle of wine on arrival. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay.
Downsides - hot water service would heat up once, then shutdown and had to be reset 2 hours prior to every shower. Pillows were really flat and little. Tried to charge extra 30 euros/night when I requested a 3rd bed to be made up. Left waiting for an hour after arranging the arrival time by email and had to make an extra phone call. No hand towels in bathrooms. Had to buy more toilet paper. A partial roll in each bathroom is not sufficient for a 4 days stay for 3 people!
We had a wonderful stay in Lisbon. The location is terrific if you wish to be a part of the famous Fado neighborhood. Great restaurants directly across from the Fado Museum. The climb to the apartment is around 100 steps, but once you get there the view from both sides is well worth it. The apartment is very comfortable and very clean. It would comfortably sleep 4

Amazing apartment, amazing location, amazing host.

Bark, leaves and driftwood that she's collected from the Cleveland Metroparks and Lake Erie shores are glued in frames on the walls, used as centerpieces on tables and included in ceiling fixtures.
"Nature is so integral in so many aspects of how you live," she says.
The 40-year-old organic fine artist started her career in 1997 by using century-old slate roofing tiles to create high-end mosaic furniture and home accessories. When she discovered that the dust from her materials was poisoning her bloodstream, she switched to a more holistic medium.
"It just hit me that to heal from some of the stuff I'm going through, I've got to reconnect and get grounded," she says.
Frazier is well-known in Cleveland for creating destinations. She co-founded Sparx in the City, the organization behind Ohio's largest art-walk event, Gallery Hop, and was contracted to redesign the Gordon Square Arts District's streetscape in 2007.
Her new space is part gallery, part boutique. It encompasses her fine art, high-end furniture, and products from her retail, lifestyle brand Earthminded Art that she started in 2002. Using organic materials, she creates pieces such as a ring made out of driftwood ($35) and place mats with her photographs of grasses and volcanic rock sealed onto masonite ($40).
"[Being able to] go and hide in the Metroparks or go wander the beaches, we're so lucky to be here, truly," she says.
Frazier's ultimate dream is to see 78th Street Studios built up where hundreds of local artists can show and sell their goods.
"I don't know how it's going to happen," she says, "but [78th Street Studios] is a perfect model of what could be done even bigger."
