Civil War Driving Tour-War Comes to Dalton
Dalton, GA 30720
Take a guided driving tour with the "War Comes To Dalton" Civil War driving tour. Whitfield County is home to a rich Civil War heritage. This area felt the war's impact almost from the beginning of the conflict, thanks largely to the presence of a main north-south rail line: the Western & Atlantic.
During the early years of the war, Whitfield County witnessed the famous Great Locomotive Chase along with more customary sights such as troop trains and supply shipments puffing along the tracks. The area later became a hospital zone for Confederate wounded, using hospitals, churches and private residences to provide these medical services and eventually creating the need for a military cemetery.
The driving tour highlights the opening action of Sherman's Campaign. For sale now in The Dalton Freight Depot Welcome Center in historic Downtown Dalton, and the Tunnel Hill Heritage Center in Tunnel Hill. For more information or to order your copy, call 706-270-9960.

The first time social media junkie Micah Daigle took a day off from his Facebook account, his friends joked that they needed him back.
"My news feed is empty," one said, laughing. "Where have you been?"
The second time was more profound. It was 2008, and Daigle was heading back to San Francisco from Burning Man. After a week with no access to technology, he turned on his iPhone to a flood of emails, Twitter updates, and Facebook notifications.
"It was really overwhelming," says Daigle, 28 and founder of the Collective Agency, a design and online branding company. "It was such a stark contrast to the sense of peace I had in the desert."
Craving more of that unplugged peace, Daigle started taking Ouija walks, his term for device-free strolls. "The world is my (Ouija) board," he says. "I leave my phone behind and let my intuition guide me. I know people who don't see the potential downsides of being connected all the time. But I know it's not good."
Hulu in bed. iPads at dinner. Twitter on the toilet. According to Pew research, the average American spends eight to 12 hours a day plugged in. Research shows this technology habit is having a negative impact on our health and relationships. Don't believe it? Internet Use Disorder may soon be included in the revised Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders, due out in May.
But, as the new year begins and we commit to making changes for the better, experts say learning to use social media with intention and spending more time off the grid can help us reclaim a balanced relationship with our digital devices.
Levi Felix started Digital Detox, a company in Oakland, as a way to help people disconnect from their gadgets in order to reconnect with themselves. A casualty of the tech industry, Felix had his own aha moment after 80-hour work weeks at a startup put him in the hospital with an esophageal tear and internal bleeding his doctors said were caused by stress and poor lifestyle.
He spent the next 2½ years traveling the world with his girlfriend, Brooke Dean, working on remote farms and in poor orphanages. They meditated, did yoga, and grew the food they ate. But they never touched a cellphone or laptop.
The experience was so transformative that Felix and Dean returned home to create digital-free retreats where anyone, from stay-at-home moms to Google (GOOG) executives, could disconnect from technology and recharge through hiking, journaling, art and massage.
"There's no seat belt or smoking section for the digital world," Felix explains. "It's not that all of these digital technologies are bad. But humans have never lived in a situation like this, and we need help to reconnect in a more meaningful way."
Felix and Dean apply the same concepts to their Device-Free Drinks events, where people trade in their cellphones for analog activities, like board games and playing on typewriters.
"Instead of staring at your phone or checking in online, you're meeting new people and having fun," Felix says. The bar events have drawn at least 200 people a night since launching last October. The next Device-Free Drinks will be held at Toast in Oakland later this month. On March 2, Digital Detox will co-host Unplug SF, a citywide, device-free day to inspire Bay Area residents to disconnect from technology and reconnect offline. Check http://thedigitaldetox.org for information on both events.
But you don't have to go to an event to unplug. Among his tips for a balanced digital diet, Felix suggests taking the time to "like" people or things offline with a simple "thank you" or other act of gratitude. Also, try waking up with an alarm clock instead of a cellphone.
"You'll sleep better, won't have the urge to check your messages or scan status updates from your sheets, and your REM won't be interrupted by random push-notifications," he says.
Another biggie: Don't take your digital device to the bathroom. "It was reported that over 75 percent of Americans use their (cell) phones on the toilet to text, play with apps, make calls and browse the web," says Felix, referring to a recent study by 11 Mark, a Virginia-based marketing firm specializing in technology and health care. "But some of our best ideas come when we are sitting on the throne. Use it as a break. It's a perfect time to reflect and take a moment for oneself."
For author Gemini Adams, it was actually too much "me time" that led her to become addicted to her Facebook account.
"Most of my social group had moved away, and I found myself filling the gap of grief by going online," says Adams, who splits her time between London and Los Angeles. Once, at a party, an acquaintance passed up the chance to chat with Adams, saying, "I don't need to talk to you. I see everything you're doing on Facebook."
That prompted Adams to write her latest book, "The Facebook Diet: 50 Funny Signs of Facebook Addiction and Ways to Unplug with a Tech-Detox" (2013; Live Consciously), a tongue-in-cheek look at social media excess through cartoons.
Adams pokes fun at online obsessions but also provides useful tips on how to unplug, like trying to write reports with pen and paper or installing software such as MacFreedom and RescueTime on your devices. They allow you to cap the amount of time you spend online. RescueTime shows a breakdown of how much time you spent on each site or program.
If all else fails, Adams says, you may have to lock your smartphone in the closet. "These days, we are not only bombarded with information by the media but by our friends and family," she says. "If you don't control your use of technology, it will control you."
As part of her New Year's resolution, Tanya Rosner deleted her Facebook page and plans to limit the time she spends texting and surfing her favorite mommy blogs to after her children have gone to bed. And even then, says the Concord mother of three, she'll give herself one hour.
"After that, I'm going to read a book or go to sleep," she says. "I don't want to fry my brain."
five digital detox tips
Seeking a more balanced relationship with technology in the new year? Follow these tips to unplug and revive, courtesy of Levi Felix, co-founder of Oakland's Digital Detox.
Wake up with an alarm clock instead of your cell phone. You'll sleep better, won't have the urge to check your messages or scan status updates from your sheets, and your REM won't be interrupted by random push notifications.
Don't use your devices in the bathroom. It was reported that over 75 percent of Americans use their phones on the toilet to text, play with apps, make calls, and browse the web. But some of our best ideas come when we are sitting on the "throne." Use it as a break from the chaos.
Treat your meals as a time to meditate and unplug. Eat with intention and mindfulness. Think about where the food came from and how it tastes. Enjoy clear conversation that is not interrupted by check-ins and Twitter updates.
Don't Instagram when you can draw. Next time you want to Instagram a sunset or take a photo of your lunch, try drawing a picture or writing about it instead. By taking the time to make the experience your own, you will create a deeper memory.
Like someone in person. Say "Thank you." Practice expressing gratitude and make appreciation your default status. Practicing gratitude increases happiness, improves sleep and stimulates anti-aging hormones in your brain.

Engine and Powertrain Efficiency Projects Get $8.4 Million DOE Boost
DOE announced on September 27 it will award $8.4 million over three to four years for suppliers and vehicle manufacturers to develop and demonstrate technologies that increase the efficiency of engines and powertrain systems. Four projects in Massachusetts, Michigan, and Wisconsin will focus on innovations that achieve breakthrough thermal efficiencies while meeting federal emission standards. The technologies will include passenger vehicles—cars and light trucks—as well as commercial vehicles, including long-haul tractor-trailers. These technologies will help automakers and truck engine manufacturers achieve higher efficiencies than ever before, while meeting or exceeding the recently announced vehicle fuel economy standards intended to help reduce U.S. demand for oil imports and save consumers money at the pump.
The projects will focus on developing and testing new technologies that could reduce cost and address technical barriers currently inhibiting the wider use of advanced engine technologies in the mass market. Projects will also validate technologies developed at the engine or system level to help ensure that these innovations can advance into broad commercial use at the scale needed to reduce vehicle fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions nationally.
Filter Sensing Technologies, Inc. of Cambridge, Massachusetts, will develop and demonstrate low-cost sensors and controls that can reduce the overall cost and complexity of engine and emission control systems. General Motors of Pontiac, Michigan, will focus on a novel technology that enables the use of high dilution in the combustion chamber, significantly improving the fuel economy. Eaton Corporation of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, will work on an advanced component technology for diesel engine heat recovery systems that are capable of improving the fuel economy of heavy-duty vehicles. And, MAHLE Powertrain of Novi, Michigan, will develop a next-generation combined ignition/turbo-charging concept that will enable the implementation of ultra lean-burn technology to engines. See the DOE press release.

WOODBRIDGE - A routine patrol stop led to a big drug bust Thursday when San Joaquin County sheriff's deputies found crystal methamphetamine in a vehicle, authorities said.
Deputies were patrolling the Woodbridge area shortly before 1:30 a.m. when they conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle, the Sheriff's Office said. When the vehicle stopped, the driver got out of the car and attempted to walk away, authorities said. Deputies caught up to the driver, but he attempted to flee on foot again while deputies were patting him down, authorities said.
Deputies took the man into custody after using a stun gun to subdue him, the Sheriff's Office said. Inside the man's vehicle, deputies located 75.9 grams of crystal methamphetamine, officials said. Gino Giorgi, 27, was arrested on suspicion of possession of methamphetamine for sales, resisting arrest, driving with a suspended license and driving at night with no headlights, authorities said.

Firemen follow custom of lighting park tree: Members of the Brentwood Volunteer Fire Department are going to see to it that the city has some Christmas decoration this year.
Following a long-established custom, they are planning to decorate the big evergreen in the park at the corner of Oak and Second streets. For several years, the department has decked the tree with colored lights, the only exception being the year when the ground was so softened by rain they could not reach the tree, and they used the lights on the fire house.
At a recent meeting, the firemen set Saturday as the date for the tree trimming, and a committee consisting of Chief E.J. Spiering, Joe Craig and Herman Hartwig will assemble the equipment and supervise the job.

Oakley man teaching triathlon classes: In December, Ken Dobberpuhl turns 39. "I can't wait until I turn 40," he said.
He's serious. In an age where people will do anything to apply the brakes to the biological clock, why would a guy want to accelerate the hands of time?
Is has to do with triathlons. Forty will put Dobberpuhl at the bottom of the 40-49 division, and make life in the tri lane a little easier. When he began participating in triathlons five years ago, he had to start smack-dab in the middle of one of the most competitive divisions, 30-39.
Regardless, Dobberpuhl has had success, and on a national level. He is coming off what he says is his best year. He and his wife, Dexter, have both qualified for the United States Triathlon Series Championships at Hilton Head, S.C.
Now, Dobberpuhl wants to share the knowledge he has accumulated. During the spring semester at Los Medanos College, Dobberpuhl will teach an introductory triathlon course, the first of its kind at the college.
"We want to emphasize that this in an introductory class," he says. "A lot of people have seen and heard about triathlons and are not quite sure how to get started, or even know if they want to try something like this.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, April 26, 2013
LINCOLNTON, Ga. (WRDW) -- Earthquakes in the CSRA aren't too common, but after one hit Lincolnton, Ga., geologists are studying how we could be affected in the future.
"People are stimulated to learn geology, the morning after an earthquake," said Allen Dennis, a geologist at USC Aiken.
It's the day after the Lincolnton earthquake and he's already explaining the ins and outs of what's been going on.
"In the past 40 years, there have been probably 50 small quakes, 30 of those occurred over a six-month period," Dennis said.
And that's a little too much activity for some folks in the area to stomach, even this geologist.
"You felt a big wave travel through the house, almost like a train drove outside by our house," he told News 12.
These tremors relieve stress built up in the earth's crust.
But a slight shake is nothing compared to some of the most infamous quakes in the Southeast, including one that happened not even 200 miles away.
"When people think about earthquakes in South Carolina, the first thing they think about is the Charleston earthquake," he said.
The 7.3-magnitude quake happened in 1886.
"It was felt west of Columbus, Ga.," he said.
It even knocked trains from their tracks in Aiken County.
And the possibility of history repeating itself is something Dennis doesn't like to think about.
"If a quake like the Charleston quake occurred anywhere in the Southeast today, it would be a major catastrophe," Dennis said.
But his research suggests the chances are low.
"I think the risk is not great, but I think you need to be prepared when trouble comes," he said.
And for those who felt the shaking early Friday morning, they can breathe a sigh of relief.

- Era: WWII
- Number of Pages: 528
- Subject: History
- Date Available: December 2010
Breaking the Bismarcks Barrier, 22 July 1942 – 1 May 1944, Volume 6 in the series, examines the drive up from Guadalcanal and New Guinea to the taking of Rabaul and the colossal American victory at the Battle of the Bismarck Sea during the Papuan campaign. This volume also covers the Central Solomons, the Huon Gulf offensive, the invasion of New Georgia, and the Battles of Kula Gulf and Kolombagnara.
"There is little doubt that when it comes to an overall view of United States naval operations during the campaign to break the Bismarcks Barrier and in many cases a micro-view as well, Morison remains unsurpassed. The immediacy of his work, his ability to describe operations he has himself witnessed—that Ironbottom Sound is as blue as the Gulf of Maine—in prose few can match, gives Morison's histories a unique value. Its my honor to recommend this book and to warn the reader, especially those new to Morison, that this is an addictive read as well as solid history."
—Vincent P. O'Hara in his Introduction to Volume 6, author of Struggle for the Middle Sea: The Great Navies at War in the Mediterranean Theater, 1940-1945 andco-author of On Seas Contested: The Seven Great Navies of the Second World War
Samuel Eliot Morison taught history at Harvard from 1915 to 1955, except for active duty service in the Navy on board eleven different ships in all theaters of the war. In addition to this series, Rear Admiral Morison wrote many other popular and award-winning books on maritime history, including Two Ocean War. Morison, who died in 1976, was the recipient of two Pulitzer Prizes, two Bancroft Prizes, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom

Solitaire gets a twist
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 7:00:00 AM in A. Jaffe (34)
We have seen numerous trends on diamond rings for engagement and weddings. Recently, the halo has gained traction as the preferred setting style. A few years back, vintage diamond rings were the toast of jewelers and jewelry lovers. Despite these trends, the solitaire diamond ring, the original setting, has never gone out of style. It is classic and timeless that transcends cultures and generations. Still, there's room to reinvent this style. The A. Jaffe solitaire diamond rings create new elegant versions. In white or rose gold and platinum, these solitaires have graceful twisting bands that embrace the stone delicately, an excellent symbolism for undying love and commitment. The twisting bands also suggest the harmony between two souls, as marriages and engagements should be. The classic setting style is maintained with a little twisting on the side.
A. Jaffe is available at Shreve & Co. in Portland, Oregon, and our Post Street location in San Francisco.

Nebraska lawmakers are exploring ways to fold agriculture into K-12 classroom lessons, amid concerns that students aren't learning enough about the state's largest industry.
The Legislature's Education and Agriculture Committees heard testimony Friday from farm and ranch advocates who say a growing number of students know virtually nothing about the business.
Deanna Karmazin, the state coordinator of the Nebraska Agriculture in the Classroom program, told lawmakers that she visited students this week who believed that eggs came from cows. She says the material used in many classrooms today is often outdated, fragmented and condescending.
Cedar Rapids Sen. Kate Sullivan introduced a proposal last year to create an Agriculture Literacy Task Force, but the bill died in committee.

These are terrific for mixed media work - they are large enough to be seen after incorporating into work and light enough not to be a problem with adhesion.
They also blend very well with gears and sprockets by Tim Holtz - as well as "real" watch gears and parts.
It should also be noted they are very reasonably priced.
These are a great alternative to found gears. They are uniform in size; making them great for jewelry. They are great quality, and come with a variety of sizes and metals. They are just really fun to use!
This is the second order of these because I like them so much.
These are adorable the detail is great!

A popular Persian-language drama on Iranian state-run television dealing with the Holocaust contains anti-Semitic and anti-Israel themes, Los Angeles Iranian Jewish activists have revealed.
News publications, including The Wall Street Journal, have hailed the new show, "Zero Degree Turn," as sympathetic to the plight of Jews during the Shoah, but Jewish experts fluent in Persian have analyzed the program more closely and have come to a different conclusion.
"This TV program lists in its credits a man named Abdollah Shabazi, who was an ideological strategist for the Iranian government, and he gave this idea to make this propaganda film to show that Iranians are 'good with the Jews,'" said Bijan Khalili, a Los Angeles-based Iranian Jewish activist and Persian-language book publisher. "But in reality, this man is the author of many anti-Semitic and anti-Bahai [Persian-language] books."
The show focuses on an Iranian Palestinian Muslim man who, over the course of 22 episodes, helps his French Jewish lover and her family escape Nazi-occupied France by providing them with forged passports. Khalili and other L.A.-area Iranian Jews say the program is laced with blatant historical inaccuracies and messages of hate for Jews and Zionists.
"One of the objectives of this program is to show that Jews are corrupt, because they are shown as both giving bribes and accepting bribes," Khalili said. The story includes a character called Homayoun Talab, an Iranian diplomat, who accepts bribes in order to provide false papers to Jews.
Talab, Khalili said, is loosely based on Abdol Hossein Sardari, Iranian ambassador to German-controlled France during World War II, who forestalled the deportation of 200 Iranian Jews living in Paris at the time.
Fariborz Mokhtari, a professor of Eastern studies at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C., recently completed a book on Sardari's life. He said "Zero Degree Turn" egregiously misrepresents Sardari, who never accepted money for giving Jews in France Iranian passports.
"Sardari was duty-bound to look after the interests of Iranians. Whether they were Zoroastrian, Christian, Jewish or Muslim was not very important to him," said Mokhtari, who is Muslim and has been researching Sardari since 2002. "As he was quoted having told his inquiring nephew, 'It was his duty to his country and to God.'"
In April 2004, Los Angeles Jewish organizations, including the Wiesenthal Center and Nessah Synagogue in Beverly Hills, posthumously honored Sardari for saving several hundred Iranian Jews and European Jews who were living in Paris during World War II. The late Ibrahim Moradi, an Iranian Jewish survivor aided by Sardari, attended the 2004 ceremony at Nessah and told of how Sardari had helped him and the other Jews escape the Nazis without requesting any money.
Western media outlets first learned of "Zero Degree Turn" several months ago, when English-subtitled episodes appeared on YouTube. In those shows, the existence of the Holocaust was not questioned. For this reason, the series has generated substantial attention, in part as a contrast to the repeated Holocaust-denial statements by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Frank Nikbkaht, an Iranian Jew and director of the L.A.-based Committee for Minority Rights in Iran, called "Zero Degree Turn," with its elaborate sets, expensive foreign location shoots and actresses appearing without the state-mandated Islamic dress code, part of a larger public relations campaign by the Iranian government.
"Powerful forces within Iran have decided to erase or whitewash Ahmadinejad's Holocaust statements out of fear of losing even more in the propaganda war aimed at European and American audiences," Nikbkaht said. "They're probably thinking that if Ahmadinejad won't correct himself, or if he cannot retreat, then 'we will do it for him.'"
At the same time, other Iran experts dispute allegations that "Zero Degree Turn" is a publicity stunt, because the program is both fictional and was produced a few years before Ahmadinejad began making his Holocaust-denial statements.
"Criticizing a fictional story for inaccuracy may not be entirely justified, unless the inaccuracies are flagrant," Mokhtari said. "I would refrain from passing judgment on the program until I see more of it."
Yet according to online English translations of the series' second episode, prepared by the Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute, Zionist Jews in the program go so far as to kill an Iranian rabbi in Paris and collaborated with the Gestapo in order to compel Jews to immigrate to Palestine.
One character in the show, an anti-Zionist rabbi named Menuhin, is asked whether fanatic Jews killed an Iranian rabbi. His response is, "It is more likely the work of the Jewish Agency. They don't mind presenting life here as scary and unsafe in order to convince as many Jews as possible to emigrate to Palestine."
Khalili also said that other episodes of "Zero Degree Turn" make repeated references to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which are historically out of place, because the issue was not prevalent in the 1940s. Likewise the Jewish characters in the series are shown in a poor light, because they speak an improper form of the Persian language, as compared to the Muslim characters, Khalili said.
"We have a responsibility as Iranian Jews living outside of Iran to reveal to the rest of the world how anti-Israel and anti-Semitic the Iranian government is through this program and others like it," Khalili said.
While the show's writer-director Hassan Fatthi, who is based in Iran, did not return calls from The Jewish Journal for comment, he told The Wall Street Journal last month that his intention is to make a political statement about the Middle East, more than to create an entertainment piece based on some historical facts.
"Iranians have always differentiated between ordinary Jews and a minority of Zionists," Fatthi said in the interview. "The murder of innocent Jews during World War II is just as despicable, sad and shocking as the killing of innocent Palestinian women and children by racist Zionist soldiers."
According to reports from within Iran, "Zero Degree Turn" has become one of the country's most popular and watched television series since it began airing earlier this year.

HAYWARD -- Children from all over the world walk into Cristina Igoa's classroom at Tyrrell School, where they find a safe, accepting place -- and a teacher who believes in them and their ability to learn to read in English.
Igoa will share how she brings students up to English language third-grade level at a Commission on the Status of Women symposium Wednesday at the United Nations in New York City. With her will be two of her former students, Rosario Campos, 12, and Zarmina Kochi, 29, whose travel expenses are being covered by the Hayward Education Foundation.
Both Rosario and Kochi, with Igoa's help, went from being shy girls barely able to read English to confident honor students.
Igoa, who has taught at Tyrrell since 1991 and has a doctorate in multicultural education, said it is crucial that children be able to read at grade level by the end of the third grade.
"Third grade is pivotal," she said. Until then, students learn to read. "But in fourth grade and up, you read to learn."
The students in Igoa's elementary school classes are close in age, but their grasp of English varies widely. Igoa gives those who are furthest behind first-grade-level books that they must read -- and understand -- before they go on to second-grade books and finally to third-grade ones. She applies the same method for math in her accelerated learning program, which requires nightly homework to help the students make up lost ground.
Rosario was 8 when she became Igoa's student. Four years later, she is an honor roll student at Cesar Chavez Middle School in Hayward.
"I like to read. I make my mom buy books for me to read, even in the summer," she said.
It wasn't always that way for the bubbly girl with a ready smile. Rosario, born in Mexico, did not speak any English when she came to the United States at age 6.
"I would cry; it was so difficult," she said. "It was overwhelming."
Besides working on the girl's reading, Igoa started teaching her phonics to improve her English pronunciation
"I would be in the car and start saying 'thu,' 'sh,' 'the,' and my mom would be like, 'What are you doing?' But she caught on and started doing phonics with me," Rosario said. And by the end of the third grade, she was reading at an advanced level.
Kochi was just months old when her family escaped to Pakistan from Afghanistan during the Soviet war in that country.
"Thankfully, my dad was open-minded and wanted his daughters educated. Afghanistan is not a place for a woman. Even in Pakistan, my older sisters had rocks thrown at them as they would go to school," Kochi said.
After the family spent five years in Pakistan, her parents jumped at the chance to come to the United States when a Nebraska church offered to sponsor them. The family later moved to California and connected with an Afghan community.
"Boy, was that a mistake," Kochi said. "When you're outside of your culture, you have no choice; you have to learn the language."
She became a student at Tyrrell when Igoa was a sixth-grade teacher. When Kochi began in that class, "I was pretty far behind," she said.
Kochi had to go back and start with first-grade books, progressing until she was an advanced reader by the end of that school year. She later graduated from high school with honors and earned a bachelor's degree in physics. She now works for a tech company.
"I count my blessings for having parents that took the incredible opportunity to lead the family here and to be able to get educated against all odds because" of Igoa's program, she said.
Igoa has written a book about her experience and teaching methods called "The Inner World of the Immigrant Child." She has been invited to talk about her program and her book at symposiums in the United States and abroad, including Hong Kong, England, Spain, Canada and New Zealand.
She was an immigrant child herself. Born in the Philippines, she moved with her family to Colombia and later to the United States, and she can relate to the culture shock that many of her students experience.
On the walls of her classroom, she posts the work of all her students, not just the top ones.
"I'm trying to get everyone to be winners. When you have multicultures and multilanguages, it requires ingenuity," she said.
As her classroom size has increased to more than 30 students, her work has become more challenging, she admitted. This year, she has five reading groups, all at different levels, but the students are making progress.
"I made my classroom into a one-room school," she said. "Nobody believes you can close the gap in one year, but you can."

The apartment was exactly like the pictures in a nice neighborhood and convenient to the metro and buses. It equipped with everything you may need during a short holiday. The spacious layout and everything working perfectly. I would have preferred an open balcony but overall very good! The owner was quick and available in every response is his collaborator very kind and thorough.
L'appartamento era esattamente come nelle foto in un quartiere carino e comodo alla metro e ai bus. Dotato di tutto quello che può servire durante una piccola vacanza . Gli spazi ben organizzati e tutto perfettamente funzionante. Avrei forse preferito un balcone aperto ma nel complesso ottimo! Il proprietario è stato veloce e disponibile in ogni sua risposta è la sua collaboratrice molto gentile ed esaustiva.
Me and my friends we spent 5 nights in this apartment. We agreed via email check in with Fernando, anticipating it at 11. Once you arrive we would have to call Cynthia, what we have done. He has informed us that one of his colleagues would have waited to 11 the house. The apartment has no lift, is located on the third floor and the stairs are quite narrow. If you have large suitcases could be a problem. Fortunately we were traveling with only hand luggage. Once you enter the house we realized that had not been cleaned but on our return in the evening was in perfect condition, just like the pictures.
The apartment is located in a quiet, silent but will face a rather strenuous climb to reach the building. There are several supermarkets run by Pakistanis that stay open until midnight, very useful to buy anything you may need. The apartment is quite well served by the metro: in fact there are two stops close enough.
The house itself is well maintained. For three to four people it is ideal. The kitchen is well equipped, the rooms are quite spacious, the living room is great. The only downside is the bathroom is a bit 'small and hot missing the curtain so be careful not to flood everywhere while you shower.
In general, however, I and my friends we are satisfied with our stay.
Io e le mie amiche abbiamo passato 5 notti in questo appartamento. Abbiamo concordato via mail il check in con Fernando, anticipandolo alle 11. Una volta arrivate avremmo dovuto chiamare Cynthia, cosa che abbiamo fatto. Ci ha comunicato che un suo collega ci avrebbe aspettato alle 11 sotto casa. L'appartamento non ha l'ascensore, si trova al terzo piano e le scale sono parecchio strette. Se avete valigie grandi potrebbe essere un problema. Fortunatamente noi viaggiavamo solo con il bagaglio a mano. Una volta entrate in casa ci siamo rese conto che non era stata ancora pulita ma al nostro rientro a fine giornata era in perfette condizioni, proprio come appare nelle foto.
L'appartamento si trova in una zona tranquilla, silenziosa ma dovrete affrontare una salita piuttosto faticosa per raggiungere l'edificio. Ci sono diversi supermercati gestiti da pakistani che rimangono aperti fino a mezzanotte, molto utili per acquistare qualsiasi cosa di cui abbiate bisogno. L'appartamento è servito abbastanza bene dalla metro: infatti ci sono due fermate abbastanza vicine.
La casa in sé è ben tenuta. Per tre-quattro persone è ideale. La cucina è ben attrezzata, le camere sono abbastanza spaziose, il salotto è grande. L'unica pecca è il bagno: è un po' piccolo e nella vasca manca la tenda quindi attenzione a non allagare ovunque mentre fate la doccia.
In generale, comunque, io e le mie amiche siamo soddisfatte del nostro soggiorno.
So on the whole, the hotel has really liked me. The apartment had everything your heart desires, and was described in a quiet location.
The communication with Cynthia was very straightforward and minor problems were quickly eliminated to our satisfaction. The only small problem was that we had the first 4 days of the holiday no Wi-Fi. After that, however Cynthia informed rushed, the problem was quickly eliminated.
All in all I would book this apartment again and am very satisfied.
Many thanks for everything !! And Barcelona is simply a great city !!!!
Also im großen und ganzen hat mir die Unterkunft sehr gut gefallen. Die Wohnung hatte alles was das Herz begehrt und war wie beschrieben in ruhiger Lage.
Auch die Kommunikation mit Cynthia war sehr unkompliziert und kleinere Probleme wurden zügig zu unserer Zufriedenheit beseitigt. Das einzige kleine Problem war dass wir die ersten 4 Tage des Urlaubs kein W-Lan hatten. Nachdem wir dass aber Cynthia mitteilten, war das Problem schnell beseitigt.
Alles in allem würde ich diese Wohnung nochmal buchen und bin sehr zufrieden.
Vielen Dank für Alles!! Und Barcelona ist einfach eine tolle Stadt!!!!
Apartment very nice and cozy. Perfect for couples or 3 people max. It is a very spacious and equipped flat. Very quiet and 5 minutes from metro, very accessible to downtown. The wifi works perfectly.
Piso muy bonito y acogedor. Perfecto para parejas o max 3 personas. Es un piso muy amplio y equipado. Zona muy tranquila y a 5 min del metro, muy accesible al centro. El wifi funciona perfectamente.
Estivimos 3 friends staying in this hippest. Good apartment, with metro station a few meters, quiet and owner Fernando a good person. I recommend it.
Estivimos 3 amigos hospedados en este apartamente. Buen apartamento, con boca de metro a pocos metros, zona tranquila y su propietario Fernando una buena persona. Os lo recomiendo.
Good transport links (5 minutes to the Metro and 20 minutes to the centre- Rambla).
Apartment clean and everything was just as the pictures.
Gladly again.
Gute Verkehrsanbindung( 5 Minuten zur Metro und 20 Minuten bis zum Zentrum- Rambla).
Wohnung sauber und alles war so wie auf den Bilder.
Gerne wieder.
Nice and clean apartment in a quiet area with almost no traffic during the nights. From the apartment it is less than 5 min to walk to get to the metro and 10min with the metro to the historic districts of BCN.
The apartment is a bit off the city center but easily accessible by subway.
Unfortunately, the towels are not in the best condition in the apartment.
Die Wohnung liegt etwas Abseits vom Stadtzentrum ist aber gut mit der U-Bahn zu erreichen.
Leider sind die Handtücher in der Wohnung nicht im besten Zustand .
We are happy we chose this apartment! Cynthia was a very friendly and very competent problem solver. In the beginning the internet, the DVD player and the coffee machine did not work - so she sent Mathias to buy new appliances! And he even repaired the TV set (the wire for cable TV was broken). Plus he gave us very valuable tips for restaurants and for sightseeing – we tried almost all of them and had some pleasurable experiences.
The apartment is in a neighborhood that is rather quiet between 10 pm and 7 am. Behind the house there is a community center with a large terrace and a great view. If you are looking for a big supermarket, go to Plaça Maragall and follow the Carrer d'Olesa, then you see it on the right (within walking distance, about 10 minutes).
The apartment description probably has been changed now: The roof terrace that was mentioned there is not accessible for guests any more.
One little tip: There are no hooks or bars on the walls, neither in the kitchen nor in the bathroom, so if you want to hang anything on the walls, bring suction hooks.

Mass Should Be More of a Celebration
Indulgences for the Year of St. Paul
Why No Incense at Mass?
Why a Translation Into Armenian?
Q: Your first answer in the August issue
("Why Acknowledge Our Sinfulness
When Mass Begins?") concerns me.
My wife and I have 11 grandchildren, seven
of whom do not attend Mass any longer.
Most of them go to large, very popular
community churches near them. One has
14,000 people every Sunday, filling two
auditoriums. There are probably many
Catholics there.
When I visited this church, I observed the
people singing loudly with the band; it's
their kind of music. After Scripture readings
proclaimed by several members of the
congregation and a song, the pastor delivers
a homily that has a message they can
take with them. After a benediction and
song, the people leave the auditorium,
talking happily to each other—and then
go to different rooms for discussion. They
have a celebration that they talk about
after they leave!
Contrast that with how our Mass begins.
After we open with a song written hundreds
of years ago and played on an organ, the
priest says, "As we prepare to celebrate the
sacred mysteries, let us call to mind our
Wow! Talk about a downer! That really
grabs your interest if you are a young person—or any person, for that matter! If you
were in your teens, 20s or 30s, where
would you go the next Sunday?
And that's just the beginning. Our Mass
needs to be more of a celebration! Of
course, we have the Eucharist and that
makes a huge difference—to you and to
me—but not to some of the young people.
My wife and I are members of a small
faith community at our parish. The 12
members, including five couples, meet
every two weeks at someone's home, read
the Scripture for the following Sunday and
discuss its application to our lives.
Each of these couples laments the fact
that many of their children and grandchildren
go to megachurches or have
stopped going to Mass. They love their
new church. Wow!
Can't we adopt some of the methods
that make these megachurches extremely
popular? Can't we do that and still feature
the Eucharist? I am confident that we
A: You are clearly concerned for
how we as the Church are doing
in sharing and living out our faith. Our
cover story last month described how
one high school senior experienced
World Youth Day in Australia; she
found its Masses to be genuine celebrations.
Those who attended Masses
celebrated by Pope Benedict XVI during
his visit last April to the United States
found them to be very moving celebrations.
Cardinal Ratzinger's celebration
of the funeral Mass for Pope John
Paul II probably had the largest TV
audience for any act of worship.
Admittedly, Sunday Mass at your
local parish is quite different in many
respects—yet identical in others.
Whom do we celebrate at Mass? What
are we encouraged to take away? The
more we emphasize the differences
between papal Masses and the ones
that we normally experience, the more
we are in danger of missing what is
identical in all of them.
Every Mass celebrates Jesus Christ as
the Word-made-flesh and as the fullest
revelation of God the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. Each Mass is part of our
growing individually and together as
disciples of Jesus Christ. Every Mass
sends us out to share the Good News of
Jesus Christ that we have heard and
seen. For all of that, we need continuous
conversion to the Lord's ways.
Songs and silence, discussion and
action will always be part of that conversion.
Could the Catholic Church overall
do a better job in its Mass celebrations?
Yes, and I don't know a celebrant, lector,
song leader, musician, usher or
liturgy planner who would deny that.
All of them would welcome more active participation at Sunday and weekday
Masses. Many people in the pews
would probably agree.
Worship in any church can become
superficial if it celebrates more the people
who pray instead of the God who
makes their prayer possible. At its worst,
worship can become an inoculation
against conversion rather than a stimulus
toward it. That's what prophets
like Amos, Isaiah and Jeremiah complained
Are our celebrations challenging the
Pharisee praying at the front of the
Temple, who needs deeper conversion
(Luke 18:10-12)? Are they encouraging
the tax collector praying at the
back, who needs to be reminded that
God's mercy calls for even deeper conversion
and more generous actions
(Luke 18:13-14)?
All Christians need to ask these
questions. Are megachurches stronger
on "feel-good" religion and weak on
challenge and conversion, which is
emphasized throughout the Catholic
I share your deep concern for young
Catholics who are not joining in Sunday
Mass regularly. We can and should
make Mass inviting to participants, but
I wonder if some people are asking the
Mass to be what it was never intended
to be: an exaltation of self rather than
a celebration of God's challenging love
for a community of disciples.
Q: I read a news item a couple months
ago that Pope Benedict XVI is granting
a plenary indulgence for people who
participate in various events connected to
the Year of St. Paul (celebrated from June
28, 2008, until June 29, 2009, for the
2,000th anniversary of his birth). Which
events? Under what conditions? What is a
plenary indulgence?
A: A plenary indulgence is a full
remission of the temporal punishment
for sins that have already been
forgiven. Some bad effects of sin remain
even after a sin has been forgiven in
The usual conditions for an indulgence
are prayers for the intention of
the pope, confession of one's sins and
reception of Holy Communion—usually within two weeks before or after
the event.
Last May's decree covers three types
of actions: 1) visits to and prayers at the
Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls in
Rome (where St. Paul is buried), 2) participating
in a liturgy or other public
event in any local church on the opening
or closing day of the jubilee year—or on other days in places designated by
the local bishop, or 3) for Catholics
impeded by sickness or other serious
causes, joining spiritually in a jubilee
celebration honoring St. Paul and offering
their prayers and sufferings for
Christian unity.
Q: In recent years, it seems that the use
of incense at Mass has become
increasingly rare. Why? It's a custom that
many people I've talked to would like to see
A: The use of incense draws on the
Jewish roots of Christianity.
Psalm 141 proclaims, "Let my prayer be
incense before you; my uplifted hands
an evening sacrifice" (verse 2). Many
non-Christian religions use incense, a
custom that the Church accepts.
At funeral Masses, the casket is usually
incensed as a final sign of respect
for the body of the deceased person.
Incense is used at the Easter Vigil
and often at Masses for special occasions,
such as weddings, ordinations,
religious professions or anniversary
Some people with respiratory problems,
however, are very glad that
incense is not used more often than it
is. What supports one person's prayer
may hinder someone else's!
Q: On the feast of St. Irenaeus last June 28, I was reading your company's
book Saint of the Day and noticed that the writings of this
saint (130?-220) were translated into Latin and Armenian. I understand
the Latin, but why Armenian? Was it a widespread language
A: St. Irenaeus was martyred in Lyons, France, where he was
bishop. He wrote in Greek to oppose gnostic Christians, who
claimed to have secret information about Jesus, information not intended
for all Jesus' followers. Gnostics had developed a parallel church; their
honored teachers were not in communion with the local bishop.
Because the gnostic heresy eventually spread throughout the Roman
Empire, the writings of Irenaeus were translated into Latin. Armenian was
not a widespread language in the Empire, but Armenia became the first
country to become entirely Christian after King Chosroes III was baptized
in 303 A.D. When St. Gregory the Illuminator preached the Good News
there, the gnostics were still very active. Today there is an Armenian Apostolic
Church (www.armenianchurch.org) and an Armenian Catholic
Church (www.armeniancatholic.org). See also Michael La Civita's article
in the September 2006 issue of ONE (www.cnewa.org).

BETHANY — The No. 6 ranked Oklahoma Baptist women's basketball team led wire-to-wire for a 64-56 victory against Southwestern Christian Saturday afternoon at the Pickens-Springer Gymnasium in Bethany, Okla. OBU scored the first seven points to start the game and had built a 13-point lead early in the first half. SCU cut the deficit to three points on two separate occasions before halftime, but were unable to get any closer. The Lady Bison took a 31-26 lead into intermission after shooting 50 percent from the field. The second half was much like the first. OBU scored the first four points of the period to extend the lead to nine, and once again the Lady Eagles were able to turn a Lady Bison lead into a one possession game. After trailing by just one point on three separate occasions in the second half, SCU was unable to take the lead from OBU. A 13-4 run from the Lady Bison that lasted until the five-minute mark in the second half sealed the win for OBU. Senior Jalissa Council led the Lady Bison with 18 points, five rebounds, and two blocks on a 7-11 shooting performance. Janell Beacham registered her fourth double-double of the season, scoring 10 points while pulling down 11 rebounds. She also added a team-high three steals. Guards Charity Fowler and Marida Lewis each had four assists, while center Zbeyda Aremi recorded four blocks in the winning effort. Vanessa Bledsoe led SCU with 20 points and four rebounds. OBU will travel down the road in Shawnee to take on Saint Gregory's Thursday at 6 p.m. Note: Report provided by Casady Fletcher, OBU sports information department.

Great Tablet
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 09/06/2012
I have the 8GB version so the specs should be same. This is a great level entry tablet, great for reading emails, playing games/music/videos. Has it own version of Google market, which is fine but if you need more apps then you can install Google market (took me 5 minutes in install) Top Tip: Move all your apps to the SD card (internal) or external) and get a cache cleaner (free). I would have no problem in buying another one.

Another Habitat home is going up in Chillicothe, and the local Habitat affiliate is seeking volunteers to help with the final touches. "Whatever level of skill you possess, we can find a job for you," said Habitat spokeswoman Chasity Anderson. Volunteers are needed each weekend from now through the end of May. The Laura and Ubaldo Navarrete family, which includes two children, will be receiving this specific Habitat home upon its scheduled completion in June 2013. The Habitat for Humanity Selection Committee chooses homeowners based upon level of need, willingness to become partners in the program, and ability to repay the no-interest loans within 20 years. Recipients must put in at least 125 hours of sweat equity labor toward the building of the home. The Chillicothe Area Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit, Christian-based organization that builds houses with lower income families. The houses are funded by local donors and are built by volunteers and partner families from the community, and sold at no profit – no interest to partner families in need. The mortgage payments made by homeowners are used to build more houses. To learn how you can volunteer with Habitat, call Connie Epperson at 660-752-6789.

More than 175 members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints joined with church members from around California for the fifth annual Mormon Helping Hands. The local project was the cleanup of James Monroe Middle School.
"We had six different activities going on," local organizer Arlene Decker said.
She said the activities included washing windows, removing gum, weeding and gardening, removing trash, painting the basketball poles, cleaning the mats in the gym, and cleaning the restrooms and the stage.
"We also had three people on power washers, and they power-washed the bleachers and the outsides of the stucco buildings so they look nice," she said.
Decker said the local church chose Monroe because it wanted a common area that was contained where families could participate and children would be safe.
"We talked about going out into the community and doing areas that may be a little more visible, but because we had young children, we wanted to make sure they would be in a safe situation," she said.
She said Antelope Valley District Public Affairs Director Mike Larsen visited the local project.
Decker said she hopes to have 200 volunteers next year.

"The Best Kiss I Ever Had"
You know that hating on your ex feels really good (um, the guy pretty much wore dad jeans, am I right?), and now science—not just your girlfriends—has your back. Researchers from the University of Utah found that people who expressed negative feelings about an ex were less likely to feel depressed immediately after a breakup, and they were more likely to have moved on one month later.
Normally we're all for cutting off contact, but if you're still kinda-sorta pining for a dude, going cold turkey can make you feel worse, suggests a University of Arizona study. Interestingly, study participants felt better if they maintained some sort of friendship with the guy. If you fall into this category, at least limit the "friendship to occasional emails or an annual "happy bday!" post on his Facebook wall. If you control the communication and keep it minimal, you're less likely to get into a weird (and hurtful) gray zone.

I was raised in this quaint northwest Ohio town and it is such a nice place to visit (but you know how the rest of that saying goes, don't you?) The town was founded by seven young men who traveled from its namesake, Glandorf, Germany back in 1833. German Catholics populated the town and the surrounding area and until just a few years ago, there were nuns teaching in the public school. It was the norm for me back then and didn't seem unusual until later in life when I realized that my parents put nine children through what was essentially a parochial school without having to pay tuition. Imagine. Different era, eh?
Anyway, the reason for the salad you ask? It makes a great potluck salad and if you're scrambling for something to take to a Labor Day get together, this goes over well every time I bring it.
The salad you see pictured was made as an individual serving for purposes of photography, but this salad works best if layered in a large bowl and stirred together just before serving.
One large head of lettuce, torn into bite size pieces
1 small sweet onion, diced
1 medium head of cauliflower, prepped into bite size pieces
a handful of fresh parsley, chopped
1 pound of center cut bacon, cooked crisp, then crumbled (I do mine in the oven, 375 degrees for 30 mins)
Layer the above in a large bowl.
3 cups reduced-fat mayo
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup sugar (can use Splenda)
pepper, to taste
Mix dressing ingredients and spread smoothly over top of salad ingredients. Wait to toss until just before serving.
* Something interesting about bacon. Did you know that the difference in fat/calorie content between center cut bacon and turkey bacon is negligible? Why not use the real thing when it's such an important ingredient in this recipe.
Have a great holiday weekend everyone. Be safe.

Creative cultural contributions are the Dercum Center's specialty, and this weekend the group presents two nights of culturally enriching experiences. Tonight, as part of a first-time collaboration with Colorado Mountain College, National Gallery of Art music director Stephen Ackert will present on American art, accompanied by live music. Then on Sunday, Carpe Diem String Quartet will perform a chamber music concert at Dillon Community Church.
Tonight's presentation, entitled "American Journey," features a slideshow of paintings and portraits by American artists from the National Gallery's collection, narrated by Ackert. Accompanying him is Carpe Diem String Quartet, which will perform live music from American composers joined by Jayme Stone on banjo.Dercum Center artistic director Charles Wetherbee and Ackert came up with the idea after Carpe Diem performed a special piece - written by composer and violist Korine Fujiwara - at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. as part of the Cherry Blossom Festival. "Mr. Ackert will bring exclusive photos of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and Carpe Diem, together with Jayme Stone, have prepared music that directly relates to the history, context and the scenes and individuals depicted within these paintings," Wetherbee said."Examining how both art and music changed through American history is fascinating," Dercum Center manager Karina Wetherbee said, promising "an engaging journey through the history of America." The presentation will take place at the Finkel Auditorium at CMC Breck tonight as part of the college's Peak to Pique speaker series.
On Sunday, Carpe Diem String Quartet will perform a chamber music concert, "Four Seasons in Two Hemispheres," at Dillon Community Church, followed by a short reception.The program includes select movements from Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" and Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla's "Four Seasons of Buenos Aires," woven together to give listeners the experience of two cultures on a related topic. "This work is almost never heard in this chamber version," Chas Wetherbee said of the Vivaldi piece. "I hope that the audience will be charged up by this intimate and transparent version of a familiar work, rendered with such detail and clarity in Carpe Diem's special presentation." He described the Piazzolla as "sizzling tangos that redefine what we think of musically with the seasons.""The two sets of four seasons are often performed as eight seasons, with orchestra," Karina Wetherbee said. "This will be sort of a sampler, with all four seasons of the year represented, but shared between the two composers." Beethoven rounds out Sunday's program at Dillon Community Church.

December 20, 2005
The countdown to Christmas has many rushing home for the holidays. And at Augusta Regional Airport, today is one of the busiest travel days of the year. News 12 is on your side with a look at some changes that could affect your travel.
Today is busy over at Augusta Regional. But Friday will be packed, too, as Christmas falls on Sunday this season.
Five large trucks carrying tons of luggage for several buses of soldiers. Three-hundred arrive from Fort Gordon just before noon for outbound flights home. Another four-hundred are heading home later in the day.
"Today is our busiest travel day of the season because we have Fort Gordon exodus so we start earlier today than we do at any other time," Diane Johnston, Augusta Regional Airport.
And starting Thursday, you'll need to plan for new security measures at airports across America. The Transportation Security Administration will now allow small tools and scissors aboard, but will conduct more random searches.
"TSA found that they were spending so much time screening for that type of thing, costing them a lot of time when they could be screening for actual terrorist-type items," Johnston said.
The troops came prepared with ID's ready to go through security and head home. And for hundreds of other fliers, getting used to the new security procedures might take some time.
"We're a smaller airport so you won't see the crowds, the hundreds of thousands of people at Atlanta-Hartsfield, so it's a lot less stress here," Johnston said.
Augusta Regional Airport still recommends getting there at least an hour before your flight.
