MRI prompts man to cough up nail
Published: Saturday, April 4, 2009 at 4:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 4, 2009 at 4:27 p.m.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) Prax Sanchez says he doesn't recall any serious hammer-and-nail mishaps in his past.
Yet doctors administering an MRI on the 72-year-old Colorado man last month abruptly stopped the exam to tell him there seemed to be something metallic in his face.
Right after the MRI, Sanchez coughed up an inch-long nail.
His doctor, Jamieson Kennedy, told television station KKTV in Colorado Springs that the nail might have been embedded there as long as 30 years. The MRI's magnetic force apparently dislodged the nail, causing Sanchez to cough it up.
Sanchez says he can't remember ever using a nail like it.
"I'll probably frame it," he said Friday.

Exploring Photoshop: Designing Repeat Patterns
Designing your own fabric patterns has never been easier with all the amazing tools that we have at our disposal these days. And making a repeat pattern design is one of the most common ways to create designs. Although there are special programs that make this task very easy indeed like Adobe Illustrator (which is also very expensive), you can make repeating designs quite easily using Photoshop Elements or Photoshop.
In Photoshop and Photoshop Elements you can of course make repeat patterns using several different methods. This one is my personal favorite.
So let's get started …
Note: This tutorial is for Photoshop Elements 6 but the steps will be similar in other versions.
1. Download the image
Right click and save to your desktop.
2. Open the image in Photoshop Elements
3. Create a half-drop repeat design
Duplicate the image by clicking on the flower image in the layers panel to select it.
Right click and select "Duplicate Layer".
Click on the top layer in the layers palette to select it.
From the main menu:
Filter > Other > Offset
The original image is 200px wide by 200px height so to create a half-drop repeat, you will need to offset the image using half of the width and height of the original image.
In the "Offset Dialog Box" change the settings:
Horizontal: 100
Vertical: 100
Undefined Areas: Wrap Around
Click OK to close the dialog box and you can now see that the image has become offset.
With the top layer in the layers palette still selected, now select the "Magic Eraser Tool" from the tools palette.
Click inside the center of the offset image to remove the white background which reveals the flower image underneath. This creates a dense pattern design.
4. Define a pattern
From the main menu:
Select > Edit > Define Pattern
The pattern dialog box will open and you can see that the design you just made is displayed. Click OK.
5. Make a new file and fill it with the pattern
From the main menu:
File > New > Blank File
Make the size 2000px wide by 2000px high by 72 ppi resolution.
Click ok.
Position the new blank file alongside the flower image.
From the main menu:
Select the "Paint Bucket Tool"
Check the "Pattern check box" at the top of the screen
Open the "Pattern Picker" drop down box
Click on the offset pattern you just made which you can see has been added to the default set of patterns
Click inside the new empty file and you will see that it fills with the pattern you just made.
And you can make all sorts of creative designs by using the same process but with different images.
Easy when you know how right?
Have a creative day!

What a great tutorial, Linda! One of these days I may have to sit down and actually go through and do it. Thanks for sharing it.
Katherine Sands
Thanks so much for this tutorial…I love learning something new and helpful.
Thanks ladies.
Thank you very much for this explanation. I don't have photoshop, but paint shop pro has very much to offer and is similar in this manner. When choosing offset, it worked better for me to choose wrap, and center. Once the first tiny square was made, I set the flood fill pattern to the still open, newly created pattern and just one click filled the entire canvas! Voila! I LOVED it; it saved so much time. I've saved this page for later use. Thanks again for the time spent showing how to do it!
Thank you so much. I've had PSE since version 5 and have not done anything with it. I'm determined to use it more in scrapbooking and this tutorial has helped tremendously. I'm using version 9.0 and will stay here until I can justify upgrading. I will keep a close eye on your site. Thank you for sharing your talent. I'm retiring in a couple of months and want to know how to use some of the stuff I've buying over the years. This will definitely help me create my own scrapbook papers.
i likr it much more,i don't know hw to use adob 4 textlie desiging,i feell it's very difficult but it is so easy becuase of you.thxxxxxxxxxx
Good Tutorial, useful
Thank you so much! Very helpfull!
This is probably one of the most concise and easily understandable patter repeat tutorials I have seen. So much so I did it! YAY. Great, Linda. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you! Very helpful and easy to follow. 🙂
This post has come just at the right time for me. Thank you very much, I really appreciate you taking the time to go through it.
You're welcome 🙂
Is there any way we can message back and fourth. I have a few questions in making a pattern with a few different images. I think I downloaded editor instead of the regular Elements… I don't know if that makes a difference. If you could please email or FB me, that would be great. Thanks!
I'm sorry but I don't offer individual coaching. However if you have a question about this tutorial, please post in the comments.
That was awesome. Very easy. This is way easier than Illustrator. Thanks.
Great Tutorial.
I can't believe how easy it is to create such a beautiful effect. not only for fabric patterns, also for cardmaking/backgrounds or anything else.
your tutorial is fantastic, thanks so much for sharing!!!
greets from germany
Thank you so much!
Super easy thanks to you!
Linda: I'm an artist and have been struggling with this for a long time, thank you EVER so much for sharing this, as it's finally worked for what I need!!!
Dear LindaM
thank u today ill lean something….
Thank you for posting this! Please make sure you warn people that making patterns can be addictive!! 😉 Also, how do you save the pattern when you go to another pattern group. Mine just disappear from the group they were appended to. Thank you for all the time and effort it takes to do this!
Saving patterns is done via the Edit > Preset Manager where you can select the patterns you want to save as a set. If you need more help you can check the photoshop help files for the exact steps.

Religion Youth Pastor Watch
posted by March 17 at 11:56 AMon
An Episcopal priest found guilty Thursday of soliciting sex from undercover Waynesville police officers is the last of seven men to make guilty pleas after being charged in a sting operation last summer in park restrooms…. Penland resigned from his position as a youth minister at St. Gregory's Episcopal Church in Boca Raton, Fla., in September, following his arrest, according to church meeting records.
A 39-year-old Greensburg man pleaded not guilty Friday in U.S. District Court to using a computer to entice a 14-year-old Madison County girl to engage in sexual activity. [The] victim met Richerson on one of his MySpace pages where he represented himself as a 16-year-old male.
Richerson, a former youth minister at Freedom Baptist Church in Campbellsville, allegedly communicated with the victim via computer and telephone during the summer of 2007, and in September, he traveled to the victims residence in Madison County.
A former Winslow youth minister is behind bars for allegedly fondling a 14-year-old girl multiple times in public parking lots. Keith Daniel Kiger, 31, faces a felony charge of first-degree sexual assault.
According to a preliminary arrest report, Kiger admitted to engaging in sexual contact with the victim as many as six times. Most of the contact occurred in the back of his van…. Kiger told police that his relationship with the girl began as part of his ministry.
Ex-youth minister gets plea deal
Peter Kim, 40, pleaded guilty to violating bail bond conditions, sexual exploitation of a child and attempted sexual assault of a child by a person in a position of trust. In exchange, prosecutors dropped two other bond-violation charges….
The disposition concludes a case with many twists and turns, including multiple suspected bond violations, the involvement of a Christian music star and a defense attorney who quit the case citing a personal conflict of interest.
Hey, does anyone know if Mars Hill has youth pastors?

When you first began your event design plans hopefully you were thoughtful about who you hoped would attend your program. Now that you have your budget worked out and your reservations and contracts prepared, you have to make sure your audience knows about the event.
Making a Publicity Plan
Be sure you have a clear and effective name and "look" for the material that will announce your event. Before reproducing and distributing any materials, give it the test…an extra set of eyes/ears. Look at the promotional materials as if you were someone who knew absolutely nothing about the upcoming event or have a friend or advisor who have not been directly involved in your event planning to look over your materials. Does the image/wording/audio track of the advertising get its message across to you clearly?
Have you remembered to include the WHAT / WHERE / WHEN / WHO and the Contact and Sponsor info for your event? If you have a website with more info, have you included the address on all of your materials?
Who do you most want to invite?
Different audiences require different publicity strategies. There is no such thing as an event that is of interest to everyone. Give thought to the language/ images you choose for your publicity materials. Do they exclude/offend individuals or groups of people that you want to reach? Is there a language or slang barrier that you can minimize?
It takes knowledge and creativity to attract the attention of your desired audience. Some examples of specific audiences include: sophomores, staff (day shift/ night shift), faculty, South Hadley residents, five college peers, families, athletes, physics majors, Nepali students, community service workers, 21-25 yr. olds, people of color, opera fans, LGBT contittuencies, Spanish speakers, etc... What promotional messages will speak best to each audience?
See the "Making your event more inclusive" for related topics.
Designing Smart Materials
Smart publicity conveys confidence, quality and all of the important event facts in an easy to grasp fashion. You should prepare as many of the following as time and resources will allow.
- Word Of Mouth – Don't forget the easiest. Be sure all members of your own group are well informed and charged up about the upcoming event so that they can talk it up!
- E-mail announcements – prepare a short announcement that will promote your event accurately and enthusiastically through email. It is worth remembering that e-mail reads a bit differently to people than a poster or flyer might; again put your ad to the test before hitting "send". Use "target" lists to address the people most likely to be interested – do not randomly "spam" it irritates people and works against you.
- Facebook, and other online ads – use announcements similar to email to post to newsgroups, again proof material before hitting SEND! Remember that once you are posting on the internet you have a potentially GLOBAL audience that will need to know that you are in South Hadley, Mass. and who you really intend to invite.
- Press Release – prepare a short, to the point memo announcing the event. These are used sometimes exactly as they are written for inclusion in newspapers, on web sites or in newsletters. They are also used to inform journalists who may wish to report further on your upcoming event.
- Flyers –Flyer in approved and high traffic places. A reasonable number of attractive and well-placed posters can have positive impact selling your event. Plastering a few places with a lot of posters only guarantees that they will get removed or covered up. You'll need to poster a few times - because posters often get buried. Varying the look of your flyers each week can help too - people will see it in a new way.
- Table Tents & Handbills – mini flyer formats can help you spread the word person-to-person, or table-to-table.
- Larger/ Color Posters – these can range from hand lettered poster board to full color designs printed professionally; obviously the scope of your event will help you determine this expense – as will the available locations for hanging large posters.
- "Camera-Ready" Ads – for use in local newspapers, newsletters, these "place ads" as they are called are generally expensive but excellent for large productions.
- Campus Center Displays – there are some reservable bulletin boards, info tables, and display areas in the Blanchard Campus Center.
- Banners – a tradition at MHC. Event Banners (typically painted on an inexpensive sheet) can be hung in several reservable banner locations on campus.
- Radio Ads – taped announcements advertising your event. You plan out what the ad will say/sound like and work with radio station representative to record it. Prices vary by length of ad, frequency of airplay, quality of time slots and the various radio stations.
- Radio Interviews & PSA's – a typically no-cost alternative to radio ads is to arrange an interview between a station DJ and a member of your event team or your hired performer. WMHC also offers PSA's (Public Service Announcements - brief mentions) free of charge to registered student groups.
- Cable TV – Live interviews or promotional video supplied to local cable programs.
- Web site info – even if no one in your organization knows how to create/edit a website, if you are prepared to design the information for the web page and can draw up a list of appropriate sites to which you would link your event information, you will likely find a fellow student who could put the page up for you, or you can receive instruction at LITS.
- Direct Mail – If you think your event has a specific target audience you might consider doing a direct mailing of postcards or the like to that group.
- Increase ticket-buying opportunities, if applicable, with consistent times and convenient locations.
Publicity Distribution Plan
Ask at the Student Program's Event Coordinator for five college area press and media contacts, and advice. Plan ahead - the most successful area coverage requires several weeks lead time to meet deadlines. When designing your advertising be creative and inventive but don't forget to include all necessary information. Follow posting guidelines. Care should be taken to avoid any offensive language or illustrations, and to remember that events that are held on campus reflect upon the reputation of Mount Holyoke College. Discretion and good common sense are required.
MHC Master Calendar
You can have your event included on these calendars by indicating so on your Event Registration Form (ERF). Information can also be submitted via Event Services, as late as 3 business days prior to the event. Obviously, however, you will be better served by earlier submission and longer exposure.
More Publicity!!
The final week is crucial. The week of the event you should make it a point to flyer again. Update postings. Make reminder announcements at related events. Consider free promotional giveaways and attention getting gimmicks. Chalk sidewalks. Talk it up with friends. Even those who had planned to attend will forget the date if they don't get reminders as the event approaches.

"The State of Emergency has become a synonym for the government doing as it pleases."
One the first and most important statements of the French government after the Friday attacks concerned a measure that has received scant or inadequate attention—the declaration of a State of Emergency. What is a State of Emergency? What impact does it have? Is it the right response?
At the beginning of the year we published another twelve titles in our seventh edition of The Radical Thinkers series including works by Alain Badiou, Willhelm Reich, Max Horkheimer, Simon Critchley and Ludwig Feuerbach. A fortnightly series of events introducing this latest set was held at the ICA in London, with the help of Peter Hallward, Stella Sandford, Esther Leslie, Federico Campagna and Nina Power. Through passionate discussions which took theory to a public forum outside of the academy, the events aimed to make clear why these writers should be read today. Verso believe that the writers in this series are just as accessible as most of those who are presented to us as 'public intellectuals' or 'popular philosophers' - yet they are far more pertinent and thought provoking.
To launch Set 7 in our Radical Thinkers series, we ran a competition last week to win a copy of every available book published in the series so far.
After a week of frenzied-question posting and a website crash in the face of Radical Thinkers popularity, I'm delighted to announce the winners and runners-up!

Leaving the place he "dreamed of working" to be an entrepreneur
Chris Kemp is leaving his post as NASA's CTO for IT to be an entrepreneur.
Citing "mixed feelings" about leaving NASA after five years -- calling NASA "the place I dreamed of working as a kid" -- Kemp made the announcement in the NASA blog on March 14. Kemp indicated in an e-mail message to FCW that the resignation is effective on March 18.
"Deciding to leave NASA has not been easy, and is something I've been struggling with for the past few months," Kemp wrote. One of the things he struggled with, he added, is the difficulty in being an entrepreneur at NASA.

Open source is NASA's next frontier
"I realized that most of my accomplishments at NASA were not at Headquarters, but out in the field where I could roll up my sleeves and work on projects and get stuff done," Kemp wrote. "Whereas, I thought I had the best of both worlds…I actually had the worst of both worlds... no influence when I can't be in all of those meetings at NASA [headquarters] with no mandate to manage projects at [the] Ames [Research Center]. As budgets kept getting cut and continuing resolutions from Congress continued to make funding unavailable, I saw my vision for the future slowly slip further from my grasp."
In his new role, Kemp added, he hopes "to find a garage in Palo Alto to do what I love."
Kemp previously served as CIO at Ames, where he created the NASA Nebula cloud computing platform that allowed researchers to set up computing storage and virtual machines in an accessible and pay-as-you-go environment.
Kemp also supported open-source technologies and developed partnerships with Microsoft Research to develop the WorldWide Telescope, and with Google to customize applications such as Google Earth.
Kemp indicated in an e-mail message that the resignation is effective on March 18.
He was a Federal 100 awardee in 2010.

A really great stay. The apartment is fantastically sited, very comfortable and well equipped, and the service in the block is also friendly and good. All Bill's local guidance was spot on, and he kindly left extras like two Subway token/cards, things in the fridge &c. There were a couple of small issues while we were there to which Bill responded immediately, resolving one instantly (wifi password) and getting the maintenance team to do the other (heating) within just a few hours. The outdoor terrace (a 36th floor view over mid-town) is even more spectacular than it looks in the pics, and with all the blinds raised daylight pours into the flat, with a great view out over Manhattan by night. Times Square is close enough that you're aware of its lights, but 36 floors up there is surprisingly little city/traffic noise. A great week - next time I need a Manhattan mid-town base I'll not look anywhere else!AnthonyJanuary 2016
Bill was very accommodating and check in during our stay to ensure everything was OK. Fantastic location close Time Square. I would stay there again!JessicaOctober 2015
Bill's apartment was a perfect location for exploring NY and seeing shows and the building felt very secure. The bed was very high (might not suit someone with limited mobility) but very comfortable. Loved the balcony and would sit out there in the mornings with our coffee plotting our adventures! Great shower - fantastic water pressure which we often don't get when travelling. Bill was a great host and easy to contact and the apartment was comfortable and very user friendly with lots of natural light. Great place to stay when visiting NY!AdrienneSeptember 2015
Check-in was easy; showed my ID to the doorman and they let me into the room. The room was exactly as described, large, clean, and with an amazing deck / view. Host left me two towels and the wifi password. He also texted me as I was checking in to make sure everything went well. This was a great experience; and place was wonderful. Bill was very responsive and I'd definitely look to stay here again.LutaoMay 2015
Fantastic apartment! Right next to Times Square. Bill and his mother gave us a very warm welcome. The large private roof terrace was incredible and the photos don't quite do it justice. We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to New York.AlastairDecember 2015
Bill met us and escorted us to his listing. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and a great host to us. He answered all our questions, was open to feedback and treated us very well. The listing was in good shape, the bed was comfy and the view will speak for itself. Even when it was raining, we found joy in being in the clouds and sleeping with the clouds.BradenOctober 2015

Luis is the type of host that's willing to compromise his own time and energy just to make sure guests get what they need. ( He rode a bike to a remote part of Brooklyn just to give me my keys) His apartment is nice and cozy and he s constantly trying to improve its look. The location is amazing since its right next to the subways which takes you to the city within 20 minutes. Decent amount of restaurants, bars and groceries right around the corner. Would 100 % come back again, grab a beer with Luis and talk about soccer.TonyJune 2016
Luis is the most welcoming and hospitable guy you'll ever meet! He's always available when you call or text him. Very accurate description of the apartment. Neighborhood is nice and quiet. Would definitely stay here again if I ever move somewhere else and want to come back to New York for a visit :)Mohamed BashirJune 2016

Rebecca's place was clean and beautiful, exactly as pictured. The studio is about an 8-minute walk away from the nearest subway stop. Her neighbors were extremely friendly. There's wifi, snacks, tea, cooking supplies, and everything you would need for a comfortable escape!!MannhiJuly 2016
Rebecca definitely made me feel welcome - she was there to greet my partner and I when we arrived at the location to show us around and made sure we had everything we needed. The listing was just like the photos. Although it's a studio, it doesn't feel like one since it's so spacious. It has a unique set up that separates the kitchen area from the bedroom area. It also has new amenities (the bathroom and kitchen appliances) so it was a perfect blend of a historic home with a modern twist. it was absolutely perfect for our short stay.ClaraJune 2016
Nice apartment in Brookline, very clean, not expensive and with 1 hour proximity to city centreAlexeyJune 2016
Rebecca's place looked exactly as it appears in the pictures: neat, tidy and cutely decorated. The apartment is located in a very picturesque neighborhood, just the kind of place the word "Brooklyn" evokes in your mind; all brownstones, tree-lined streets and corner stores. Pretty close to the train too! Rebecca could not have been more easy to reach and responsive to my questions. A great experience!DannonJune 2016
The apartment was super close to the C metro stop, which was really convenient to get to Manhattan. It was really clean and super nice. It was a bit hard to get into the front door – you had to jiggle the key and the door and sometimes it took quite a while before we figured it out. We also couldn't find the air conditioner. Overall though, a great stay!MiraJune 2016
The place was great. Decent location (very easy to get to via subway from bus station), not as convenient from the airport (better off taking a cab). Quick Uber ride to Brooklyn hang out spots.MatthewJune 2016
Pictures don't really do this beautiful little brownstone apartment justice - very cozy and equipped with everything you might need for a short stay. Excellent food options around the neighbourhood as well, with a lot of fun little restaurants sprinkled throughout. Calm and quiet area in the evenings, but a few minutes' walk from the C train taking you directly to Manhattan. Rebecca was very friendly and quick to respond to any inquiry, and our stay was overall an absolute pleasure.HanaJune 2016
We had a great stay - Rebecca was super communicative and helpful! When we arrived, the A/C was broken, which was a bit of a bummer, but Rebecca's boyfriend met us there with a bunch of bottles of water and a large industrial fan to help keep the place cool. This was all super thoughtful and helpful. The location was great, and I would definitely recommend staying here - Rebecca was a wonderful host.JessamynJune 2016

To pay a little less than $400, for 6 days and 6 nights stay in a clean room, access to a fair kitchen and private parking, in a friendly house of a wonderful and in fact the kindest landlord we could not ask for any more. We had a great time and are grateful to airbnb for making life easier for travelers.ManouchehrJune 2016
A pleasant place, the city is residential, quiet and clean, the house is nice and equipped well, host is hyper kind and welcoming. In brief; everything is good and my stay was very pleasant. Yes I advise this place to my friends and certainly I shall be back there. Thank you Blb, you are the best!NajetJuly 2016
The host was very kind, respectful, and professional. In fact, she called me right after the booking was confirmed to introduce herself and assist me with getting to her place. When Intold her I needed early check-in, she was very understanding and accommodating. While running late, she kept in touch to make sure I was ok. I'll recommend her to any, and everyone. The world needs more kind people like the host.EdwardJune 2016
I never met Dlb. In fact, I don't know if Dlb is a man or woman. It was a very awkward check in as we just walked to the front door, called the number on the listing and someone told use to walk around the side of the house, not the door we were at, almost as if someone were watching us, but not coming out to actually help us check in. We didn't know which room was ours, either. There are apparently many rooms being rented out in this house. We never got to use the bathroom attached to our room because the renters in the room on the other side kept locking it. The house was noisy throughout the night and looks nothing like the listing photo.HannahApril 2016
I never met Dlb, so no comments on the host. Photos can be deceptive sometimes, the room shown in the description is not even close to the actual room, my room was very small, ceiling fan didn't work, no Air Con, rooms are very noisy, there was no one to talk to or contact to get things sorted. I had to share the bathroom with some strangers. All in all a bad experience.SuhailJune 2016

Demetrius' loft in Long Island City was fantastic. The apt was just as listed, so clean and comfy. And I cannot say enough good things about his rooftop. What a marvelous space to sit and relax. And the location is so convenient to Manhattan and to Brooklyn. I will definitely stay here again.CoreyJune 2016
Great location and very nice and clean space. Demetrius was a perfect host, he even went out of his way to meet me very late, as my flight was close to midtnight. He even bought some coffee and breakfast, so very considered and lovely energy. It was one of my best Airbnb-experiences in New York City. Only thing is that the trash-truck makes a lot of noise at 5 in there morning. But really- that is the only thing that is not close to perfect.leaApril 2016
We stayed here for a week and had a great time. Demetrius was an excellent host - his relaxed, friendly manner really put us at ease and he was extremely helpful when we needed it. The apartment and location was just as described. It was clean, comfortable and provided everything that we would have liked. We would definitely stay with Demetrius again.EileanApril 2016
The home was clean and well furnished. It is close to the subway which is convenient. He also provides plenty of pamphlets and books on New York and a map of the subway system. We enjoyed our stay.estrellaMay 2016
Demetrius was very accommodating. When I needed an iron/ironing board, he made sure to have them waiting for me upon arrival! He maintains a clean and eclectic space. It was a nice place to chill out during our bit of down time from a busy wedding weekend.StephanieJune 2015
My husband and I loved Demetrius' apartment! It was spacious and clean with an eclectic style. It was also only one stop from Manhattan with the subway only minutes away. The rooftop area was also available to us and we spent some time up there. Would definitely recommend this place for others and will stay here in the future! Thanks Demetrius!munezehOctober 2014
The loft was exactly as described and shown in the photos. It was absolutely perfect and made our trip to NYC amazing. The roof top patio was gorgeous and had a great view, it was March so it was a little too chilly to spent much time up there, but would have been amazing in the summer. Demetrius was incredibly nice and understanding. A friend was able to check in early and demetrius was very responsive to messages both before and during the trip. The loft had everything we needed such as shampoo, body wash, plates, cups and all the other kitchen stuff. He was a great host and even provided us with fresh fruit and a stocked fridge with snacks and breakfast. It is a very short walk to the subway station and it is easy to get to manhattan as well as brooklyn. I would highly recommend staying at this loft, and I will definitely try and stay here again next time I visit the city!SageMarch 2016
Demetrius met us and showed us around. Everything was as pictured. Cool, funky apartment and a fantastic rooftop with a great view of the Queensboro Bridge. Neighborhood has plenty of great restaurants a short walk away as well as grocery store and subway stop. East River ferry is a 15 minute slow walk. $4.00 and 3 minutes later, you are in Manhattan!MicheleJune 2016

The apartment was indeed in a prime location in Hell's Kitchen. Quiet, yet you walk out the door and you're in the middle of a bustling neighborhood. Super comfortable bed and adequately stocked apartment. Konstantin would not reveal exact apartment location until I met him (and I believe that the listing location he has on airbnb is not correct), which was a bit disconcerting, but Konstantin communicated well and was prompt in meeting me. Minor cleanliness issues were responded to quickly by the host.MichaelJune 2016
Konstantin was most accommodating and helpful. Could not have been more friendly and courteous. Went out of his way to assure a good stay. And, a good stay it was. The apartment was clean. Neighborhood was wonderful with easy access to midtown and theater areas. While this was a one night business trip, will bring my wife with me soon for a New York weekend!DonaldMay 2016
Konstantin was amazing! The place is great, centrally located and we would stay here again and again. Highly recommend.ShawnMay 2016
Konstantin's place was incredible. Not only is it a beautiful and spacious apartment, but its location is unbeatable. It is in Hell's Kitchen, right outside of the insanity of Times Square but still close enough to access the top tourist spots and subways. Konstantin is easy to contact, flexible, and professional. My daughter and I had an excellent experience and would definitely book again. Thank you for your hospitality!MarthaJuly 2016
Konstantin's place was beautiful! Exactly as pictured. It was clean, the bed was super comfortable, and the building was secure and quiet. I especially loved the spotless bathroom, it looked brand new! We didn't get to meet him in person but he was quick to reply whenever we needed anything. The neighborhood was perfect. It's located on a quiet residential street but there are restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and shopping literally just around the corner. Plus Times Square is a quick 10 minute walk away. Perfect location, space, and neighborhood! Could not have asked for a better stay for my first time in New York.AprilJune 2016
Konstantin was punctual and accommodating. He helped us with bags and fully explained the apartment. The apartment itself was extremely clean and more spacious than we expected. Great location within walking distance of Broadway and lots of great Hell's Kitchen restaurants.ZacharyMay 2016

Henrys studio was perfect for our 5 nites. Henry took good care of us and provided us with fresh towels and sheets. We also could leave our bags at his office after our check out. The studio might be alil small for 4 people if you dont like small places. But we stayed with our 2 kids and we didnt care much about it. The area is perfect to see all tourist places and not too far from the times square. There is the manhatten mall in 3 min walking distance and penn station is like 2 blocks away. I would recomand this place and would stay there again. Thanks for everything.JuliaJune 2016
The apartment has a very good location for tourists. Very very nice service from the host, everytime he was taking care of us. The apartment was clean and ready to use when i got there. I ultra recommend this option for every couple, single guy or group of friends that want to have a few days living in new york city.SERGIOJune 2016
My sister and I loved the apartment! The location was perfect for sightseeing and shopping, and the room was exactly as pictured and very clean. Henry was a great host who provided lots of helpful information and made us feel welcome in the city!RebeccaJuly 2016
Henry was very attentive when I arrived. He made sure I had everything I needed in the room. The room was absolutely perfect for a quick trip to city. Within walking distance to everything you could ask for - I walked to Times Square, Broadway, and Chelsea easily. Room is spacious enough to move around - bathroom is a decent size for NY. Henry even has shampoo and bath soap provided. He also has a blow dryer, so that is one less item you can pack when you stay here. Would definitely stay here again.LAURENJune 2016
This listing did not have any reviews, but I booked it anyway based on the location. This was the host's (there were two, Henry and Jinu) first Air BnB hosting experience. I checked in at about 4 pm. Pros: - Location is great- close to Times Square and Herald Square - There is a doorman staffed for the apartment at all times - New furniture including a comfortable bed - Host came in the evening to assist with shower knobs Cons - The photos online do not match the appearance of the room I stayed at (apartment 436) - The listing did not say the apartment was not fully complete for use (it wasn't until almost 7:45/8 pm that a toilet seat was provided) - The listing did not say the apartment was undergoing renovation (smelled like fresh paint and needed to wear flip flops at all times because floor wasn't mopped) - Missing/unfunctioning amenities- TV, hairdryer, no floor mats, only one towel was provided at check-in however paper towels and additional towels were provided after requested I've stayed at Air BnB's in Chicago and Philadelphia that have provided great accommodations. I would NOT book this location again or recommend to others based on the host's inexperience with providing hospitable accommodations and impolite follow-up when a refund was requested for the inconveniences.TasminaJune 2016
Listing description was pretty accurate, except it wasn't clear this is part of some sort of a 2-star hotel (according to (URL HIDDEN) Great location near Penn station, and many subways lines, walking distance to Times Square. Hosts were nice. Could not check in early before 3pm, however we were able to leave luggage in the office. Room is small, basic, clean, and looks like it was recently partially renovated and was a good value. However hallways and elevators are a little old and sketchy, and do not feel as nice as the room.GennadyJuly 2016
Really nice room, extremely helpful owner and unreal location!BenJuly 2016
It is a great little ny apartment: kitchen, huge bathroom, comfy bed (the only small thing was if you are 5'11 or taller, your feet be hanging off the edge...!) GREAT LOCATION! The only down side would be that it is hard to access the building after hours , since you have to be let in the building by a security guard and that one night we were there I think he might have been taking a quick snooze...!EvelyneJune 2016

Perfect place to stay a night in the city. It was exactly as advertised. Located right by Penn Station, I was able to take a train to to the city and explore before staying the night and catching a flight the next morning. Obsorn was a perfect host and made me feel comfortable settling in. I highly recommend it it, especially regarding price and location!ErynOctober 2015
The accommodation was pleasant for me and a guest since we had one futon and one mattress. I would recommend staying for up to 2 nights due to the lack of a shower. There is an opportunity to use a free shower in a local gym, but it's cold so we didn't use it. The best thing about the space is that it's quiet and is in a good location. It's easy to get to many of the major sights nearby. Also Osborn is pretty nice and accommodating. For the price I would recommend it.PatrickAugust 2015
Osborn was a good host, and the room was as described. Very small and no frills, but clean and a good location for our needs. It was a bed to sleep in for the night, which was what my daughter and I needed.NinaMay 2016

This place was perfect for what we needed, which was a quick, no frills, overnight stay on our way to Europe. Mr. Osborn was an excellent host and accommodated us when I asked if it was possible to check-in/drop off our luggage before the 9 pm check in time. He was also flexible with our check out time since our flight didn't leave until late afternoon.RachelApril 2016

However, three girlfriends was perfect! My only suggestions would wifi!!! The hotspot's data was already used up from a previous visitor and we couldn't access the network. If you are trying to plan your day or answer a few emails while on your vacation (i.e almost everyone), wifi is absolutely essential! Other than that, a few more cups and utensils would be useful and maybe some new pillows (they're starting to get pretty thin and sad). Overall great stay!AllisonFebruary 2016
The loft was well located and Leo was very helpful coordinating our arrival. There was no internet during our stay, but other than that the apartment was fine.ChristinaDecember 2015
The best part of this apartment? Location. The subway entrance is just one block away, the area seems safe and there are plenty of coffee shops nearby. We stayed here in January when it was really cold outside. Thanks to 4 heaters, the apartment was still very warm! The apartment is perfect for 3 singles or 3 couples (=six persons). Since we stayed in New York for 7 nights, it was perfect to have an own (double sized!) bed to all of us 3 girls. I'm looking forward to staying at this apartment the next time I'll visit New York again!PauliinaJanuary 2015
We spent 6 nights as 5 people. Jonathan and Leo were really nice, it was our first time on Airbnb. My parents who do not speak English very well did the Checkin, it worked perfectly. The appartement is cosy and clean, suitable for 5, it also has the aircond. However the bathroom is tiny. We had a great time in NY.ArnaudMay 2015
Comfortable flat, exactly as described. Great location near Times Sq. Communication with host was easy- added data to the WiFi when requested.LariApril 2016
Great location and just what we expected from the listing. Jonathan & Leo were quick to communicate and offered great insights for the neighborhood. The apartment is close to Times Square and theater with public transportation right outside the door. Great dining just a few stops down the subway and 99cent pizza and coffee just steps away. We would definitely stay here again.JohnOctober 2015
The place was exactly as described and the photos are very accurate. The staircase is a bit tight with luggage but that makes the surprise about the nice apartment even bigger! Jonathan and Leo both were super friendly and always at our service, when the heavy snow made the lights go off one day everything was fixed within the hour. The location is incredibly great and the metro station as well as several coffee shops are just around the corner. We were only 4 but the place can easily take in 6 people. We couldn't have wanted more, we definitely enjoyed our stay and we will stay with Jonathan again the next time we're in NY.Isabel ZoeMarch 2015
Space was perfect for 3 people. Enough room to comfortably sleep and keep luggage. Pictures represent the apartment very well. Location is very central. One real inconvenience was the apartment wiring. we could not run the kitchenette appliances and the space heaters (it was 16'F outside) at the same time. Anytime we used the coffee pot, blow drier or microwave (and not more than one at a time) we had to shut off the space heaters. When we accidentally left one on, the circuit breaker tripped leaving us in the dark. The host were very responsive and quickly told us how to reset breakers but it was a hassle. Other minor thing is on check-out day, the cleaning crew came in at 10:30am and we weren't ready to leave since check-out time is 11:00am. Considering check-out time is STRICT ($25/hour one leaves late), I would expect them to hold to the 11:am time frame due to us. Entrance is not very nice but then again, we weren't hanging out in the hallway.Lizbeth January 2016

Malin is a gracious host and her apartment is clean, organized and functional. Located within a block to Central Park and the subway, makes for a perfect well positioned apartment easy to get to anywhere you wish to go within minutes.LouMarch 2016
Malin was super friendly and very accommodating as a host. She was quick to communicate and flexible with check in arrangements for me. The apartment is only one block from Central Park (great if you like to run) and a quick walk to the subway which is convenient for getting around. With high, wood-paneled ceilings and an old fireplace the place definitely has a cool look, kitchen is nice and I used Malin's room for my stay. Bathroom is small (as are most in NY apts) but definitely adequate and clean. I would definitely book with Malin again.MikeFebruary 2016
Malin was very personable and helpful and she communicated perfectly throughout our visit.MaxwellJuly 2016

Malin is very sweet and easy to work with. Besides being a generally bright and delightful person, she was accommodating and helpful.RachelApril 2016
She texted us with instructions about where the key would be. We were in communications for the whole trip.JerryMay 2016
Our review is very differrenziert. The location and facilities are superb. However, the property was to be desired. The number of beds was not true. There were only three sleeping possibilities and not as promised and paid for four. The cleanliness was poor. If it does not attach great importance, the accommodation for two people is well recommended. She is quiet and you can recover well from the city noise. It is surrounded by many restaurants or shopping.JoergJuly 2016
Malin's apartment is in a great location and very convenient to the subway. Communication was easy and Malin was very flexible on the check in time. Malin is also the resident of her apartment and her belongings are in the apartment. The futon only sleeps one person, unless you have two small children. The lighting was poor as there were many light bulbs out. The apartment wasn't as clean as I expected for an Airbnb property.ChuckMay 2016

I got a Monarch pass this year that gave me three days each at seven different resorts. Here it is, the end of March, and I've now hit all of them. The amazing part of the pass is that most of the places where you get the free days seemingly blow Monarch out of the water when you compare the acreage, vertical drop, number of trails, and number/speed of lifts. However, each time I went somewhere else, I would return to Monarch the following weekend thinking that I would be in for a comparitavely tame experience, and each time I was proven wrong by two things: First of all, the snow quality ALWAYS surpased any other resort's snow, and that feeling is hard to beat. Second, although the lifts are old and relatively slow, they are short enough that I've calculated that you can get from the top of any Monarch lift and back in fifteen minutes. That means you can get around 25 runs in a day if you keep at it. If you like to travel and you love good snow, then a Monarch season pass is the way to go!

A football game has no special meaning?? Really Dennis? Hence the downhill

Proud of the way the guys keep fighting. Considering how close the UCLA and
Oregon State games were, and coupled with the fact we are the only team to beat
a top 10 powerhouse Stanford, this season has still given me a ton of hope for
the future, WITH Whittingham
He knows how to have undefeated top 5 seasons. He's proven he can do it. Anyone who thinks he should be fired is clueless. I highly doubt any other school transitioning from a nobody conference to the second best conference in the nation would have done better the first 3 seasons.
If all we cared about was padding our record, we'd just go independent and schedule byu and usu 6 times each.

Things are not looking good for the Utes this weekend...they did surprise many with the win against Stanford, but since then though they've last two games badly. So my hopes aren't too high for the W this week; if Wilson truly has recovered (big IF) they may keep it close, but I wouldn't count on it.

Crissy, Crissy, Crissy,
Whit has an undefeated season playing cupcakes so you might want to stop the chest beating. that is ancient history. let's look at what he has done in the past three years. Exactly how many conference wins has he had since joining the pac11+u? I think I can count them on one hand.
It is sad that DE thinks that this can has no extra meaning. As down under said, every game should have some meaning. It is time for him to go somewhere where winning has no meaning.

For what it's worth, Dennis Erickson is an excellent coach but one of his
deficiencies is flexing his muscles a bit as a coach. He didn't do that
enough at Arizona State which is what caused a lot of issues. Otherwise, he was
a good coach. As for this week's game, I understand wanting your team to
win & such but ASU is hot right now and Utah just doesn't have the guns
to stop them. Not this year anyway. I'm glad Utah is in the PAC now. I
just wish they had brought in BYU instead of Colorado. Colorado? Who in the
world thought up that idea. It's my understanding that Stanford balked at
bringing in a religious school into the conference which is why they passed on
BYU. That was a really dumb move.

Only if that asterisk is referencing a footnote that points out this was the greatest win by a team from Utah in the history of college football. That game was played in the heart of the SEC, and no one gave Utah a chance. It also culminated what was, by far, the best season a team from Utah has ever put together. Utah knocked off three other end-of-season ranked teams on their way to seal-clubbing Saban's Tide.
Nothing BYU did in '84 compares. They never played any good teams. They didn't even play in a major bowl.

The New England
By Anthony Quinn
Published: April 30, 2000
By Zadie Smith
448 pp. New York:
Random House. $24.95
Zadie Smith's debut novel is, like the London it portrays, a restless hybrid of voices, tones and textures. Hopscotching through several continents and 150 years of history, ''White Teeth'' encompasses a teeming family saga, a sly inquiry into race and identity and a tender-hearted satire on religious antagonism and cultural bemusement. One might be inclined to assume that Smith, who began writing the book when still a Cambridge undergraduate, has bitten off more than she can chew; one might even feel a little huffy that one so young (she is 24) has aimed so high. Is it open season on Henry James's baggy monster? Yet aside from a rather wobbly final quarter, Smith holds it all together with a raucous energy and confidence that couldn't be a fluke.
''White Teeth'' begins as the story of an Englishman, Archie Jones, and his accidental friendship with Samad Iqbal, a Bengali Muslim from Bangladesh. The two men met in 1945 when they were part of a tank crew inching through Europe in the final days of World War II. They missed out on the action, and over the next three decades have continued to do much the same. Archie is something of a sad sack, a dull but decent fellow who tied for 13th in a bicycle race in the 1948 Olympic Games; he has failed at many things, including marriage (he got the Hoover in the divorce settlement) and a suicide attempt that begins the novel. Samad, in spite of looking like Omar Sharif, is now a downtrodden waiter in a West End curry house, and is obsessed by the history of his great-grandfather, Mangal Pande, who allegedly fired the first shot of the Indian Mutiny in 1857 (and missed).
By the mid-1970's Archie has married again, this time to a six-foot Jamaican teenager named Clara, a beauty in spite of lacking her top row of teeth; they have a daughter, Irie, who will become the steady center of the narrative. Samad has opted for an arranged marriage with a Bengali, the fiery Alsana, though whatever grief he's endured from his helpmeet is nothing compared with the trials of raising his two sons, Magid and Millat. Both families, the Joneses and the Iqbals, make their home in the tatty but vibrant suburb of Willesden in northwest London, a melting pot of race and color that is maintained by and large at an amiable simmer. Archie's prosaic bloke-in-the-pub outlook could be seen as representative: ''He kind of felt people should just live together, you know, in peace and harmony or something.'' Samad, on the other hand, values difference and craves debate. At a school governors' meeting, for example, he questions the Christian relevance of the Harvest Festival: ''Where in the Bible does it say, 'For thou must steal foodstuffs from thy parents' cupboards and bring them into school assembly, and thou shalt force thy mother to bake a loaf of bread in the shape of a fish?' These are pagan ideals! Tell me where does it say, 'Thou shalt take a box of frozen fish fingers to an aged crone who lives in Wembley?' ''
This conflation of the high and the low -- biblical morality juxtaposed with the mundane details of domesticity -- is key to Smith's frisky and irreverent comic attack. At one point Samad is doubtful about disclosing a secret to his friend Zinat, who protests her trustworthiness: ''Samad! My mouth is like the grave! Whatever is told to me dies with me.'' But the passage goes on to point out: ''Whatever was told to Zinat invariably lit up the telephone network, rebounded off aerials, radio waves and satellites along the way, picked up finally by advanced alien civilizations as it bounced through the atmosphere of planets far removed from this one.'' Here it's the ancient solemnity of an oath bumping up against modern technology that strikes off comic sparks.
This juxtaposition is related to the larger way in which the novel plays with the gap between expectation and reality, most vigorously dramatized in Samad's offspring, the ''first descendants of the great ocean-crossing experiment.'' Samad demands too much of his twin sons, Magid and Millat, and pays a calamitous price. He packs Magid back home to be educated, but the son returns eight years later with a pukka English accent and a serene atheism. As for Millat, he begins as a superstud and troublemaker, graduates to mobster machismo -- his touchstones are ''The Godfather'' and ''Goodfellas'' -- before pledging himself to the militant fundamentalist Keepers of the Eternal and Victorious Islamic Nation, or KEVIN (they're aware they have ''an acronym problem''), and demonstrating against Salman Rushdie in 1989.
The last reference is partly ironic. The dust jacket of ''White Teeth'' boasts a blurb (an ''astonishingly assured debut'') from none other than Rushdie himself, and reviews in the British press were quick to identify Smith's rollicking verbal pyrotechnics as a not too distant relative of Rushdie's own. One of the book's historical set pieces, recounting the simultaneous occurrence of Clara's grandmother giving birth and the Jamaican earthquake of 1907, has a whiff of Rushdiesque playfulness about it. But the younger writer has no reason to linger in her elder's shadow. While there are consonances between the two, Smith's style is lighter and less fantastical; what's more, there is a quality, a spirit, in her novel that is not to be found in Rushdie's work, and it might be called humility. There is something provisional and undogmatic about the way ''White Teeth'' confronts large themes -- migration, cultural identity -- and knows to stop short of haranguing the reader.
