mooie locatie, zéér vriendelijke gastheer, enig nadeel slecht werkende airco, en zwembad toegankelijkheid(van 10 uur tot 19h30) keuken zéér minimalistisch
Pretty convenient location. The apartment has everything it advertises and
functions adequately. The apartment is not large and furnished modestly.
It was easy enough to check in though there were a couple of fees.
Enjoied a cultivated and comfortable stay; for us it was essential to have silence rooms in he middle of City - perfect! Uta
It was a really nice appartment. Very neat and clean. Everything what you needed was there. Wifi was good.
Transmission of the keys went very smooth and easy.
Nice location near/in the city centre.
Arriving early and leaving at 17.00 was no problem.
Too many problems which seriously affected the vacation. Beware.
1. The Internet was not working properly. The owner told me it would be fixed but after 2 days said it was not her fault and nothing she could do about it. So I had to be running out of the apartment five or six times a day to to a café to be able to get my work done.
Owner refused to provide partial refund
I escalated the issue to wimdu and I'm waiting for a response from them
2. The listing indicates there is a parking spot. Misrepresentation as spot is down a very narrow ramp with three 90 degree turns only fit for SMART car or a mini .Very dangerous to take a midsize car so I had to spend a lot of extra money to park on the street or in a nearby lot. Again the owner took no responsibility for the misrepresented listing
We loved the apartment, very well located and the garage is a major bonus, the descent is narrow, but low normal drive rather carefully.
The only thing I did not like is that we put the crib, the mattress very bad and there was no way that the girl slept there .... otherwise everything great! Susana a charm! Thank You
El apartamento nos ha encantado, muy bien situado y la plaza de garaje es un extra muy importante, es estrecha la bajada,pero un coche normal baja bien con cuidado.
Lo único que no me ha gustado es la cuna que nos pusieron, el colchón muy malo y no hubo forma de que la niña durmiera allí....por lo demás todo muy bien! Susana un encanto! Gracias
The apartment is very well located, you can quickly Walk underground in different directions. Slightly lean kitchen equipment and exclusively defective chairs! But that could change quickly indeed. Otherwise, all good, especially the beds were good! Regards Ralf
Die Wohnung ist sehr gut gelegen, schnell kann man die U-Bahn in verschiedene Richtungen erlaufen. Etwas magere Küchenausstattung und ausschließlich defekte Stühle! Aber das könnte man ja schnell ändern. Ansonsten alles gut, besonders die Betten waren gut! Viele Grüße Ralf
We enjoyed ourselves very much. Really a nice comfortable apartment, in which we have felt very comfortable. Friendly landlady. No problems. Many Thanks!
We enjoyed our stay very much. A truely nice and comfortable flat, in Which We felt very well and relaxed. Friendly Landlady. No problems at all. Many thanks!
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Wirklich eine schöne angenehme Wohnung, in der wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Freundliche Vermieterin. Keinerlei Probleme. Vielen Dank!
We enjoyed our stay very much. A truely nice and comfortable flat, in which we felt very well and relaxed. Friendly landlady. No problems at all. Many thanks!
The apartment is beautifully renovated and very central. Clean and well furnished. A few steps from the Teatro Lope de Vega. We would repeat the experience.
They charged € 40 cleaning fee upon arrival.
El apartamento está muy bien, renovado y muy céntrico. Limpio y bien amueblado. A pocos pasos del teatro lope de vega. Repetiriamos la experiencia.
Se cobran 40€ en concepto de limpieza al llegar.
The truth is that we loved the apartment. Well it located, spacious and very comfortable. The beds as di potholes. The only but I would call it but did not affect us directly because we did not cook anything during our stay, is that if we wanted to use the oven was dirty from a previous guest thing that struck us to collect the cleaning part. However strongly we recommend this apartment! We loved it!
La verdad es que el apartamento nos ha encantado. Bien ubicado, amplio y muy cómodo. Las camas como di simas . El único pero que le pondríamos aunque no nos afectó directamente porque no cocinamos nada durante nuestra estancia, es que si hubiéramos querido utilizar el horno estaba sucio de un huésped anterior cosa que nos chocó al cobrar la limpieza a parte. No obstante recomendamos totalmente este apartamento! Nos encantó!

Article 3- The Alliance
Membership eligibility
The primary account holder of a season ticket package containing 50% (or more) of the Sounders' MLS league games is an Alliance member. If the account has more than one seat, the account holder may designate one additional person for Alliance membership for each additional seat on the account. This designation is irrevocable and lasts until the end of the season when it was made.
Membership in the Alliance may also be purchased; the price shall be $125 a season.
General Meeting
The Alliance shall hold an annual general meeting, open to all members. This meeting shall be scheduled and planned by the Council; it shall be held between November 25th and December 10th, with the preferred date to be the first Friday in December.
Article 4- The Council
The Council is an elected body which shall serve as the representative of the Alliance and has a responsibility to the community as a whole.
To serve on the Council a person must be (and remain) a member in good standing of the Alliance (by any method in Article 3), and must be at least 18 years of age at the start of the Council term. Procedures for being elected to the Council shall be established in the Bylaws.
Council members shall serve a two-year term. The actual dates of this term shall be specified in the Bylaws of the Alliance.

The first meeting of a term shall be scheduled in February; then business meetings shall be held monthly, with last meeting of the term to be in November. Notice of meetings shall be sent via email to all Council members at least two weeks in advance of a meeting and shall include the agenda for that meeting. The Council may set its own rules regarding visitors or observers to these meetings. Minutes of these meetings shall be kept and posted regularly.
Ownership meetings
The Council shall invite the Club ownership to attend, at minimum, the meetings in March, June, and November, and additional meetings as needed.

RATIFIED By The Alliance Council On 11 June, 2011
Bylaw 1) Alliance Membership
The Council shall designate one (or more as needed) of its members to work with the Club to implement methods and procedures for identifying Alliance members via the Club's season ticket holder records and records of paid memberships.
Bylaw 2) Alliance-Wide Voting
There shall be at least two periods per year for Alliance-wide votes on binding resolutions or non-binding opinion statements by the Alliance. The first will be February 1 until the date of the Sounders first regular season MLS game; and the second will be October 15 through November 15th.
The Council may (with a two-thirds vote of all legal votes cast by a Council quorum) establish a special election period of at least two weeks (or longer if the Council deems necessary) at any time.
Bylaw 3) Methods Of Introducing Topics For A Binding Vote Or Non-Binding Opinion Statement
To initiate a vote on a binding resolution or opinion statement by the entire Alliance, the question must be approved for the ballot by a two-thirds vote (of all legal votes cast) of the Council forum.
Any Council member may bring such an issue forward, and if seconded, the Council shall hold a vote on the issue. Prior to voting to put an issue to the entire Alliance, the Council shall invite the Club to attend a meeting and discuss the issue fully.
Additionally, the Club may request the Council to vote on any issue that the Club sees fit; such a request does not require a sponsoring Council member or second. All requests from the Club shall receive consideration, discussion, and a vote by the Council, and the Club shall be entitled to send a Club representative to the Council meeting to speak on the issue during the discussion.
After a vote to place the item on the ballot and with at least 30 days' prior notice, the question shall be considered by the entire Alliance during the next upcoming Alliance-wide voting period established in Bylaw #2.
Bylaw 4) Election Rules For Council
To be elected and retain membership on the Council, a prospective member must be a member in good standing of the Alliance.
Election to the Council requires 25 votes in a single Annual Election Period. The Annual Election Period shall begin on February 1 and end on January 31st of the next year.
If a member achieves the required vote total prior to July 1st, their term starts immediately and runs through the end of that season and until January 31st of the following season.
If a member achieves vote total on or after July 1st, their term shall begin the following year on Feb 1 and runs two full years.
The Council executives shall be given, by the Club, full access to the raw, live voting totals. They may distribute these vote totals as they see fit.
The Council executives shall work with the Club to create a web page where declared candidates for election may publish biographical information to the Alliance membership for the purpose of facilitating their candidacy.
Members of the Council who were elected in 2009 shall remain on the Council until November 24, 2011. Members of the Council who were elected after July 1, 2010, shall remain on the Council until January 31, 2013.
Bylaw 5) Procedure For Creating And Amending Bylaws
Bylaws shall be proposed and amended by this procedure. A Council member may propose, in writing, a bylaw at any meeting of the Council; it shall be placed on the agenda for the next regularly scheduled business meeting of the Council. An issue shall require a second to receive discussion by the Council. If approved by at least a majority vote (of all legal votes cast) of a Council quorum, the bylaw (or amendment) shall take effect immediately or as designated in the language of the proposal.
Bylaw 6) Rules Of Order, Quorum Is Defined
The rules of order for the Alliance and Council shall be the latest edition of "The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure", by Alice Sturgis. These rules shall apply unless otherwise specified in the Alliance constitution or bylaws.
A Council quorum for any actions by the Council (other than approving minutes of previous meetings, discussing current or future meeting agendas, etc) shall require at least 50% of the elected Council members, plus 1.
Bylaw 7) Supporter Groups Recognition
Supporter groups are an integral part of the Sounders community and gameday experience. As such, the Alliance wants to encourage the growth of existing groups as well as the formation of new groups.
The relationship between supporter groups, the Alliance, and the Club, has a unique nature. As such, it benefits all of these parties to have a set of minimum standards for groups to attain, demonstrating their commitment.
Therefore, for formal recognition as a supporter group, groups must meet the following standards:
- At least 25 identified, paid members
- Identified group leadership who are responsible for coordination and can speak on behalf of the group
- Organized participation as a group in activities like songs, chants, tifo, etc.
- Established history of conducting supporter group activities for the Sounders
- Have registered articles of incorporation with their local state
Supporter groups may apply to the Council for recognition, and the Council will invite the leaders of the group to a meeting for discussion prior to a vote. A majority vote of all Council members present is required for recognition.
Supporter groups may annually request renewal of their recognition from the Council; renewal is automatic (assuming it is requested).
Recognition may be withdrawn by the Council with a two-thirds vote of all Council members present and voting at a meeting; such votes will always be taken with at least one month's notice to the supporter group in question.

Practical advice about raising children
by Elise Roth Edwards
family, toys, parenting, Elise Roth Edwards
How did Silver Surfer get trapped in a bag on our window sill? And why is he so desperate to escape?
It's a convoluted tale that began at the Northwest Denver Toy Library. We're fortunate that the toy library is in the basement of our closest Denver Public Library branch. We make it there a few times a month, and the kids each choose two or three toys to check out. Sam usually chooses something that complements his own toys, like the police station below. Isabel always chooses the noisiest toys, with our blessing, since we'll be able to return them in three weeks.
The concept of a toy library exemplifies the idea of playing well with others. Our toy library has been a free resource for Denver families since 1980, and it's always run and stocked by volunteers. We're usually there on Saturdays, and inevitably run into someone we know. Kids and parents end up playing, talking and building community.
Sam has recently decided to let go of a few of his toys, in order to make room for more Legos, Trashies and Nanospeeds. The toys that he's willing to donate are small, and generally plastic, but for him it's a great start in the process of letting go. You can see that SpongeBob isn't sold on the idea of leaving his happy home.
The problem is that SpongeBob can't move to the toy library. Donated toys that aren't brand-new, must include proof that they meet federal safety standards. SpongeBob and all of his friends don't have papers, so we've come up with another option. In the tradition of The Toy Society, we're going to start leaving the toys at playgrounds, parks and other spots where a toy might come in handy. We decided to wrap the toys in bags marked "Free Toys" so the finders won't hesitate to take possession. We've been making the bags from old t-shirts, and writing on them with permanent marker, in the hope that they'll survive all types of weather conditions. We're looking forward to hiding and sharing many toys during the next few weeks.
Do you have any creative locations, where Silver Surfer and SpongeBob might find appreciative new owners?
Elise Roth Edwards writes, paints, makes stuff, and asks a lot of questions in Denver, with the help of her two kids, her husband, and a growing crowd of friends and neighbors. You can read more about their experiments and adventures at her ever-evolving parenting blog, The Family Lab for Inquiry and Play.

Pocho (feminine: pocha) is a term used by Mexicans (frequently pejoratively) to describe Chicanos and those who have left Mexico. Typically, pochos speak English and lack fluency in Spanish. Among some pochos, the term has been embraced to express pride in having both a Mexican and an American heritage[1] asserting their place in the diverse American culture. The word derives from the Spanish word, pocho, used to describe fruit that has become rotten or discolored.
Pochos are usually identified by their use of poorly-spoken Spanish. Code switching and the use of loanwords is common as is the use of phrases popular in American culture translated to Spanish, sometimes literally. Code switching often involves inserting English preposition or objective nouns, such as, "Voy a ir shopping ahora en el supermarket" (I am going shopping now at the supermarket). Modified loanwords are referred to as "pochismos." Examples include mopear for trapear (to mop), parquear for estacionar (to park), or chequear for mirar or verificar (to check, to inspect or to verify). A clear example of a popular American phrase that has been adopted by people familiar with both cultures would be Clint Eastwood's famous quote "Make my day", which has been increasingly used in Spanish as "Hacer mi día."
By contrast, in Ciudad Juárez, the moniker is very much a term of abuse, referring in particular to (what residents of Cd. Juárez see as) "uncultured" Mexican-Americans living across the border in El Paso, but it is certainly not universal.
However, a modern definition of "pocho/a" defines anyone with Mexican blood (especially Mexican-born) proud of being Mexican but indulging and often preferring American culture. After 9/11, a pocho is a Mexican with American taste. One can be born and raised in Mexico but be a pocho because preferring American culture over Mexican culture. Mexico born American residents, for example, watch football rather than fútbol. Sometimes, they listen to American or British music rather than their Spanish counterparts.
In general, the word "pocho" can sometimes have these different meanings:
- A Mexican person who uses Spanish and English in the same sentence.
- A person of Mexican heritage who is assimilated and acts "American."
- A Mexican-American who can speak little or no Spanish.
- An American who speaks Spanish and acts "Mexican."
- A person who frequently crosses the US-Mexican border and feels at home on both sides of the border.
- A nickname in Argentina (Pocho or Pocha). For example, the popular president Juan Domingo Perón was called "El Pocho" as well as the Argentinian football players Ezequiel Iván Lavezzi and Federico Insua.
- A 1959 Chicano novel by José Antonio Villarreal.

Pringle of Scotland: Understated, Modern
With delicate lace and chunky knit layers, Pringle of Scotland's Spring 2010 collection was as understated and modern as the Saatchi Gallery rooms where it was shown Monday night in London's Chelsea neighborhood.
Clare Waight Keller's latest designs came in layers of mostly neutral tones. But just as she updated the British luxury brand's iconic knitwear by both shrinking and enlarging it (some of the knits reminded Heard on the Runway of a more prudish, delicate Rodarte), Ms. Waight Keller added and took away from the earthy tones with a bright yellow and shimmering metallics.
Skirts, while short, cascaded in tiers of fabric, meant to replicate a kilt. Shirts and jackets included unexpected details — lace shoulders, cut outs along shoulder blades.
The collection showed a certain ease with the outdoors the British are known for, with belts resembling horse bridles, bits of yarn standing out from the rest of the sweater like reins, and a cape-like short- sleeved version of the hunting jacket.

While Zenchent has been 100% effective for me for the last 5 years, I have experienced frequent headaches a week before menstruation and light periods (which my doctor said was related more to body fat than birth control).

Roma Stand Against Prejudice in Hungarian University
Two people of Roma origin and an activist who fought a two-year battle to ban course material they found racially offensive at one of Hungary's most respected universities have finally won an apology and the promise of a scholarship for a Roma student.
A Macedonian former student at Hungary's Corvinus University and another Roma student from Moldova and the Hungarian activist joined forces to complain about anti-Roma comments one of them discovered in a university course book at Corvinus.
Initial complaints in 2011 from Macedonian Nadir Redzepi fell on deaf ears at the university, which said the book's author no longer worked there and that it wasn't used. A later complaint to Hungary's equal treatment authority was also rejected.
Mr. Redzepi then joined with Cristina Marian, a Moldovan law student at the Central European University, and her teacher Peter Molnar, who is also Mr. Redzepi's legal representative and an activist. Together they sought an apology from the author but only got one from the university's vice president earlier this month.
"This is just the first step in our efforts to increase the number of Rome people teaching and studying at universities, to put an end to discrimination and to widen the representation of the diverse Roma culture," Mr. Molnar said.
The Roma make up Europe's largest minority with a population of 12 million. Prejudice and anti-Roma attitudes are widespread in central and eastern Europe, which have included attempted segregation in schools.
Vice President Zoltan Szanto said the university will offer a new scholarship to a Roma student starting in September for a Master of Arts degree in sociology. It will also include Roma mentorship on its curriculum to raise awareness and fight prejudice.
"People aren't used to challenging things like that. I'd like to set an example: let's show that it can be done, so that others can do it next time," Mr. Redzepi said.
Mr. Redzepi, now a project manager at the Open Society Institute, was pleased with the university's action but has pledged with Ms. Marian and Mr. Molnar to continue their fight. An appeal against the equal treatment authority's rejection of the complaint was made and the team ready to go to the European Court of Human Rights.
"We want to give courage to all Roma students and teachers to stand up for their rights in similar cases," Ms. Marian said.
This article was corrected later Friday to involve the European Court of Human Rights as the place of appeal, and corrected the type of education Ms. Marian takes part in.

Stanley Cup Diary: Penguins 2, Red Wings 1
The Journal provides minute-by-minute analysis of tonight's decisive Game 7 of the National Hockey League's Stanley Cup Final as the Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the defending champion Detroit Red Wings 2-1 to win their first league title since 1992 and third overall. Journal staffer Reed Albergotti offers commentary on the game and the NBC telecast.
The Pittsburgh Penguins finish strong and shock the Motor City with a Game 7 that will go down in NHL history as one of the most exciting playoff finales ever. The Red Wings played their game–puck control and swarming, hard-checking defense–but a few Penguins came up big. Marc-Andre Fleury came into his own tonight and played his best game of the playoffs, and the Penguins' third line beat out Detroit's deep bench. Maxime Talbot put two goals in the net. His final one turned out to be the game winner.
The final minutes of the game were nervous, heart-stopping moments. The final shot of the game, coming in the last two seconds, looked like it was almost surely going to go into the net and send the game into overtime. Fleury made an amazing save, and immediately jumped in the air, knowing he had just spectacularly won his team a Stanley Cup.
The most important lesson gleaned from this game is that we should all place a bet on the Pittsburgh Pirates, who will almost definitely win the World Series this season.
10:45: If you still want to make a bet on hockey, how about the most likely player to have his name mispelled on the Stanley Cup. I'm going with either Rusian Fedotenko or Alex Goligoski.
10:45: Sidney Crosby is officially–at 21–the youngest captain to win a Stanley Cup championship, according to Gary Bettman.
10:43: Evgeni Malkin wins the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP and somebody should have made him take his skates off when he accepted it from Gary Bettman, who looked about three feet tall next to the Russian winger.
10:40: I think everyone wanted to see the city of Detroit get the gift of a championship in a tough, tough year. But this franchise will be back, and so will the city. Hang in there, Detroit.
10:39: Marian Hossa took a pay cut and moved to Detroit from Pittsburgh because he said he'd have a better chance at winning the Cup with the Red Wings. He came up a few great Marc-Andre Fleury saves short of a championship. It's got to feel weird to lose like this.
10:38: The Penguins won without Sid the Kid, which is both a testament to their unsung talent, and to Dan Bylsma, the coach who came out of nowhere to turn this flailing team around mid-season and help it win the Stanley Cup.
10:37: FINAL. Fleury makes an amazing save and Pittsburgh holds on for the 2-1` win. The NHL got its wish and Sid the Kid gets his name on the Cup. What an epic seven-game battle between these two teams. And the crazy thing is, I could see them meeting in the championship for years to come. Amazing game to watch.
10:34: Less than 20 seconds left and Pittsburgh may be headed toward another ticker-tape parade.
10:33: Osgood is off the ice. Six skaters on the ice for Detroit. 37 seconds left.
10:32: What is it about Pittsburgh teams in championship games that they have to be exciting right down to the wire? There are so many shots, and scoring chances in the final minutes that I can barely type. All you can do is sit back and watch this.
10:24: Red Wings goalie Osgood just saw his worst nightmare: Malkin point-blank with a blistering slap shot, but he made the save and the game continues 2-1. Detroit fans are going nuts. You don't have to be there to hear them.
10:23: One-timer from the left point by Jonathan Ericsson and he beats Fleury–finally–with little more than six minutes left and the game is all of a sudden tight! 2-1 Pittsburgh.
10:20: Not to jinx the Penguins here, but is another city going to get two major sports championships in one year? As somebody who mostly roots for teams from San Diego or Minnesota, I just don't think this is fair. But can either of those cities be next, please?
10:17: Crosby just came on the ice for the first time in the period, but promptly went off, looking like he's seriously hurt. I don't think hockey is the kind of sport where you can put someone out as a decoy, like in football; otherwise, they'd certainly play Crosby. We might have seen the last of him in this game.
10:15: We are halfway through the third period and the Penguins are still up by two goals. Can they hang on for 10 more minutes?
10:14: The Wings have been putting together some beautiful offense, but man, Fleury is just on tonight. Maybe he figured out the bounces on those mysterious Detroit boards.
10:11: I'm not a hockey coach, but the Penguins seem to be playing slightly defensively–like the hockey equivalent of the prevent defense. They may not have changed the game plan, but it seems that way, and you would think it wise to stick with the style that got them two goals up in the first two periods.
10:10: Fifteen minutes left in the third period and still not a single shot for the Penguins. They're hangin' on, but the Red Wings look very much alive.
10:07: Fleury gave Tomas Holmstrom a little love tap with his stick and sent the winger falling, which allowed Fleury to snag the puck and save a Red Wings' power-play goal. The Penguins kill the rest of the penalty by clearing the puck.
10:05: Penguins defenseman Mark Eaton just called for a penalty and the Penguins find themselves shorthanded for two minutes at the beginning of the third period.
10:03: Sidney Crosby just skated out onto the freshly cleaned ice and took a lap with a grimace on his face. My question: Will the Red Wings go with the same matchups, putting stars like Zetterberg on him at all times?
10:02: With the third period about to begin, it might be time for Detroit mayor Dave Bing to alert the riot police that the Red Wings are down two goals to none in Game Seven for the Cup, and most people in Detroit think the Pittsburgh Penguins have gotten favorable calls from the officials. In reality, Pittsburgh has somehow put together an insanely good game, most of it without its star, Sidney Crosby. Third-line right winger Maxime Talbot has scored two goals, instantly becoming the James Harrison of the Penguins.
The Red Wings have dominated face-offs and have taken the Penguins into the boards with hard hits all night. But Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury is having the game of his life, with incredible stops that he wasn't making the last three times he played in Joe Louis Arena. But the game is far from over. Coach Mike Babcock is no doubt in the Detroit locker room right now crafting a way to save the game against all odds, and deliver another Cup to the Red Wings.
9:42: And the second period ends with a barrage of great scoring opportunities. But the Penguins hold on and get out of the period safely and with the momentum.
Back in time for the third period…
9:40: Marc-Andre Fleury is really having the game of his life right now. He just made an amazing save while Dan Cleary was falling into his face.
9:38: Oh. My. Goodness. They just showed the hit that sent Crosby in to the locker room with a rippling ab injury. He was elevated into the glass with the ridge in the boards driving into his back, and the hip of a Red Wing player smashing his stomach like a pancake. Ouch.
9:35: The NBC "Sounds of the Game" thing with Kris Letang was kind of lame. They only got him during the warmups. How about what he sounded like while getting slammed into the boards by a Swedish goon?
9:33: The Pittsburgh Penguins just haven't shown up to play tonight. It's some other team that actually has the ability to win in Joe Louis Arena. We hope the actual Pittsburgh Penguins are safe and have not been harmed.
9:31: Just a shout out to our man in the standing-room-only section, Bryan Gruley. We hope you're hanging in there. The game is long from over, buddy.
9:29: Bylsma said in an interview with NBC's Pierre McGuire that Sidney Crosby has a midsection injury and should return. We can only imagine that his rippling six-pack abs have malfunctioned in some way.
9:27: Maxime Talbot, who is, so far, the overwhelming star of this game, was drafted 234th in the 2002 NHL draft. We knew it would take some no-name players to win this game, and Talbot is filling that role.
9:24: Sidney Crosby has gone to the locker room and we're not sure why. But the Penguins are on fire. Great saves by Fleury and the Pens are red hot!
9:23: Maxime Talbot scores again to put the Penguins up by two 10:13 into the period! He finished a two-on-one by going top shelf, glove side–a thing of beauty. And he's got a great playoff beard, to boot. This guy just upped his paycheck a lot!
9:20: With about 30 seconds to go in the penalty, the ref gives a little help to the Penguins by getting the puck stuck in his skates. More fuel for the conspiracy theorists who think the NHL wants the Penguins to win.
9:16: In case you missed it earlier in the telecast, Muhammad Ali is in the house and rooting for the Wings. Seems kind of rude that they haven't gotten into a single fight!
9:15: Just when Pittsburgh looked like it was gaining momentum, it gets called for a penalty. Ouch. I get this feeling that the Penguins really need to kill this one, or Detroit might get into a rhythm.
9:14: Great save by Fleury! Detroit should have scored there and the rebound almost ended in a Penguins' breakaway goal.
9:12: Who knew that a bunch of Swedes could hit this much? The new, toughened up Red Wings look like the Hanson Brothers compared to the old Detroit, who used to shy away from the physical game.
9:11: My roommate's Puggle Lupe has decided to join me for the game. She's protesting the fact that Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have yet to score eight goals by staring off into space and pretending not to be interested.
9:09: Holmstrom and Staal are both called for penalties, and we go to four-on-four. This should be some fun, wide-open hockey with Crosby on the ice because fewer skaters means more open ice to showcase some blazing speed.
9:07: Talbot scores 1:13 into the period, putting the puck beneath Osgood's right leg pad! Pittsburgh pulls ahead 1-0. This guy has really stepped it up in the playoffs with seven goals and I've been told by hockey experts that he's a future star. I think they were right.
9:06: We just heard on the broadcast that Mario Lemieux has just become some sort of knight of Quebec? I don't think Canada (or Quebec) has ever needed actual knights.
8:47: The first period is over and there is still no score. Here's my expert assesment: Boooooring. I didn't give up my Friday night to wait more than one period to see someone go top-shelf on one of these goalies. Fleury looks good, and to be honest, so do the Penguins. They are playing much better than in the previous games in Detroit.
Back in a bit…
8:44: The Red Wings have a bunch of Scandinavians on their team, but why does right wing Dan Cleary look the most like a viking? I mean, he should donate the hair when he shaves that beard off. It's crazy.
8:43: Great save by Fleury on Filppula! Fleury robbed him big time. Maybe the Pens goalie has finally gotten over his Joe Louis jitters.
8:41: The new rules in the NHL are great, but they need to make some new ones that cripple defenseman more. I really want to see Crosby and Malkin just rack up points in a shootout that goes to overtime. I mean, isn't that what everyone tuned in to see?
8:39: There's just over four minutes to go in the first period.
8:38: Another flurry of shots on Osgood, and he coolly brushes them off. This guy is good.
8:37: Detroit kills the penalty anyway, however, with a couple of ice-clearing plays. Back to regular strength. The Penguins won't get a huge number of those opportunities.
8:34: Detroit gets called for a penalty. The Penguins are setting it up pretty well. They look much better on this power-play than they have in other games during this series. Still no score.
8:33: Huge hit on Pittsburgh's Maxime Talbot at center ice! He seemed to see it coming out of the corner of his eye and avoid the brunt of the damage.
8:32: I still can't get over the fact that Pittsburgh fired its coach in February and brought up Dan Bylsma, who was coaching their minor-league team in Scranton, of "The Office" fame. I keep picturing the Penguins' locker room being run like Dunder Mifflin.
8:28: Chris Osgood just earned more points toward an MVP tonight. He put the kibosh on a flurry of scoring chances, which started by a near-goal by third stringer Tyler Kennedy, who has stepped up big in this series. Still no score with 9:30 left in the game.
8:25: Only two teams have played in the Stanley Cup finals in the past two seasons. Marian Hossa, who was traded from the Penguins to the Red Wings earlier in the season, could actually lose for both of them. That must be some kind of a record.
8:22: I'd love to have a camera just focused on Crosby and Zetterberg. They are just constantly battling each other.
8:18: Well, still no score and we've seen Crosby and Malkin already and, as usual, the Red Wings have made the two most talented players in hockey look rather ordinary. This one is going to come down to whose third-line backups can do the best.
8:15: And the game begins with a near scoring-chance for Zetterberg. The Red Wings look like they came out firing on all cylinders. Too early to tell, though.
8:12: It just occurred to me that this game is completely unfair. It should be played on neutral ice. It's Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. It's the Super Bowl of hockey. It's one game for the championship. You might wonder why it's so important to play at home in hockey, but there actually are big advantages. For instance, the boards in Joe Louis Arena are robotically controlled by the Red Wings from a booth at center ice, so you'll notice all pucks will bounce directly to Red Wings players tonight.
8:05: According to NBC announcer Mike Emrick, the Stanley Cup has not yet arrived in Joe Louis Arena. We're not sure if that's normal, or if the most storied trophy in all of North American sports has gone missing. I'm sure Mike Bolt, one of the "keepers of the cup," has everything under control.
8:00: Welcome to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final and The Wall Street Journal's live blog of the action. I'm here in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, watching the game from my apartment. I'm much more comfy than our man, Chicago Bureau Chief Bryan Gruley, who is in the standing-room-only section of Joe Louis Arena right now. We're expecting Blackberry messages from Bryan throughout the game. He is a hockey fan and adult-league goaltender.
4:20 p.m. ET: The Stanley Cup Playoffs began in mid-April and finally end tonight, when either the Pittsburgh Penguins or the Detroit Red Wings will hoist above their heads North American professional sports' most storied trophy.
The Red Wings are overwhelming favorites, and can further their dynasty tonight by winning a fifth National Hockey League championship in 13 years. The Pittsburgh Penguins are hoping tonight starts a run of titles, built on the backs of two young superstars, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, who have come of age during this year's playoffs, scoring a combined 29 goals.
The game will come down to some key factors. Detroit's depth has given the Red Wings the ability to swarm Malkin and Crosby, so Pittsburgh's third line–including center Jordan Staal–will need to pick up and score goals if the Penguins are going to win. Pittsburgh goalie Marc Andre Fleury, for some mysterious reason, has struggled in Detroit, but played well on his home ice. If he can manage to play his best game tonight, Pittsburgh has a good shot at an upset.

If it matters, parents attend with the kids, so both kid and adult-pleasing suggestions are great. Thanks!

Ode, Taggart Transcontinental, The Ritz, Marva King, The Joynt, and more!
It's Monday morning in the Chi and I didn't get any rest at all this week/weekend! I'm loving all of the work; however, I think I'm ready for about a week or so of down time. Not even to do anything special. Just to take a nap! There is lots of great stuff going on though, so let's get right in to it.
My work with the band Ode continues to be a great time. They just finished the new EP and are setting up all of the details regarding the release. There's a number of shows coming up including a live video shoot that will be happening at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago on Saturday, May 19th. We'll be doing a live video to one of the new songs entitled "Used to Be a Gypsy". We need a big active audience too because they will have a big part in the video and may even get to sing some. So get your tickets now. You can get them here: http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=4589025&pl=bk&REFID=bkcal
Also on the Ode front, thank you to everyone that came out to the first Nomadic "Saturday" at Morseland. Sorry for those people that didn't hear about the change from every first Friday to every first Saturday. The next one will be Saturday, June 2, once again at Morseland. If you've never seen Ode perform live, this will give you a good idea:
More Ode stuff coming soon.
Taggart Transcontinental
Just wanted to take a quick second to thank Jordan Taggart and the guys of Taggart Transcontinental for the great late night set at the Underground Wonder Bar on Saturday night! Always enjoy playing with Daniel, Damian, Elliot, Jesse and Jordan. Stay tuned for a new collaboration that is in process right now between myself and Jordan. New tune coming very soon with Jordan that is a mix of R&B, Hip Hop, Jazz and Spoken Word. It's gonna be good. You can check them out at the Underground Wonder Bar at 710 N Clark in Chicago. Here's a taste of the group.
The Ritz-Carlton Chicago
The gig at the Ritz-Carlton in Chicago continues to go well. This past weekend was the famous Ritz Carlton Mother's Day celebration. Fancy clothes, big hats, and I even saw some white gloves.
I'll be back at the Ritz this weekend, so feel free to come out and hang. I always play on the 12th floor in the Deca Restaurant and Bar. The hotel is right behind Water Tower Place at 160 E Pearson in Chicago.
Marva King & The Joynt
Also had a lot of fun this weekend at The Joynt (650 N Dearborn in Chicago). Great thing about this club is that you never know who is gonna be there. I've had the opportunity to perform with many different great personalities here. This past weekend I got the opportunity to perform with Marva King. Marva starred in Tyler Perry's "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" among many other credits. Let me tell you something. This woman sang her ass off. We did a little blues, a little jazz, a little dance and everyone had a great time. Really enjoyed getting to meet Marva and look forward to next time. Wonder who is coming in to the Joynt next? Live music 7 nights a week at 650 N Dearborn in Chicago, so stop by and check it out for yourself.
That's all for now. Have a good week.

The EPA disclosed a full list of ingredients in Corexit 9500 and 9527, the dispersants used in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Sen. Gillibrand (D-NY) commented, "In order to hold BP accountable and to protect our citizens, we must provide all the information to the public and independent researchers so that they can verify the unfolding situation and long-term impact."
The Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission approved a regulation requiring energy companies to reveal the chemicals they use in hydraulic fracturing. Energy companies were concerned that disclosing the chemicals in fracking fluid would hurt their competitiveness.
The two "dispersants" now being dumped onto the Gulf oil spill are banned in the UK; and more effective and less toxic alternatives exist. Information on the toxicitiy, ingredients, and health impacts of the dispersants is either unkown or being kept secret.
"Perfumes commonly list 'fragrance' as an ingredient, rather than naming the specific chemicals involved, withholding information that could cause allergic reactions and other health effects, a report released Wednesday asserts."
BP refuses to disclose the identities of the chemical "dispersants" it is dumping onto its oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The chemical identities are considered trade secrets. Without knowing the chemical identities, we may never know what additional insults BP has left us to clean up for years to come.
"The oil and natural gas lobby is working hard to prevent the EPA from establishing safeguards to protect the public from chemicals used to produce shale gas through hydraulic fracturing, also called 'fracking.'" The industry is hoping to add language to a Senate climate bill exempting the dangerous practice from regulation and hide chemical risks.
The EPA is beginning a study of the dangers posed by the natural gas drilling process known as hydraulic fracturing, which has been linked to the contamination of surface and drinking water nationwide.
The EPA has announced it is taking another small step increasing transparency by providing free access to a key database that lists every chemical in commerce. Well…almost every chemical.
States are demanding greater disclosure of alleged trade secrets related to chemicals regulated by EPA. According to one state official, "We're talking about a very basic right to know, which is needed by consumers, regulators, workers. ... If [a chemical] is in products we're going to use, we feel like people ought to have access to robust information."
In response to industry requests, the EPA has extended the public comment period on its proposal to require disclosure of pesticide ingredients, including so-called inert ingredients, until April 23, 2010. "Inert" ingredients can be extremely dangerous but are usually not dislosed on pesticide labels. Submit your comments here.

Medium color, off nose but good taste. I'm not really a huge Sterling fan but the reserve is worth a try. I found it a little off from a typical Cabernet in that it was more of a earthy and Bordeaux style. The nose was subdued with vegetable and cedar. The palate hit the cedar strong. The balance was a little off in that the heat and flavors were somewhat of a departure from each other. This was a little boring for a reserve. Palate was cedar, blackberry, chocolate and green pepper. Given all that, the taste was unique and is worth a try because it may be your style.

Country singer and The Voice coach Blake Shelton stopped his relentless aw-shucksing long enough Saturday night to wonder if he was in the same league as Garth Brooks – a question that made sense, at least on the surface.
Both Brooks and Shelton have a knack for turning country music into mainstream pop, and they're both affable good ol' boys from Oklahoma with a particularly strong fan base in Dallas. Shelton easily sold-out Gexa Energy Pavilion Saturday, just as the mighty Garth sold out Reunion Arena and Texas Stadium in the early '90s.
The fact that Brooks turned those Dallas shows into highly-rated NBC TV specials got Shelton thinking: "We shoulda televised this!," he declared, to the roar of about 20,000 mostly-female fans.
Maybe. Maybe not. Unlike Brooks, who had the energy and charisma to light up a stadium, Shelton pretty much stood there and sang, which would have been fine if his songs were more memorable.
Shelton admitted in another aw-shucks moment that he lacks the kind of sure-fire singalong hits Brooks has, and the crowd greeted his very next song, "Home," with a chorus of voices and a sea of smart-phone flashlights. His compliment-fishing ploy had worked – though it was about as subtle as using hand grenades in a trout pound.
Shelton peppered the show with lots crowd-pandering about how nervous he was, or how he was a just a backwoods outlaw fighting the corporate Nashville machine. At one point, he said with a straight face "They've got me doing The Voice," -- as if he'd been shipped off to Hollywood as an indentured servant.
During another bit, he railed long and hard against his management for advising him to talk less about drinking, and he went on to applaud fans for being "a crowd full of redneck Texas drunk country music freaks!" The crowd ate it up and cheered on every booze-related song with raised cups of beer -- even "The More I Drink," a tune about the dark reality of alcoholism.
When he wasn't speaking in a voice that bore an uncanny resemblance to Hank Hill's, Shelton sang in a pleasant but forgettable tenor whose edges were all sanded down. Most of his material was equally bland – even uptempo songs like "Hillbilly Bone" and the new "Sure Be Cool If You Did" sounded like country-rock-by-numbers.
But every now and then, he'd crank out a winner, like the bluesy rocker "Honey Bee." And he also had a card up his sleeve in the form of his wife, Texas singer Miranda Lambert, who made a surprise appearance to sing her own hit "Baggage Claim" and then serenade "Mr. Lambert," as she jokingly called him, with a soulful version of "Happy Birthday" to mark his turning 38 last week.
Shelton topped a bill featuring newcomers Dan + Shay, veteran country singer Neil McCoy, and The Band Perry, the Mississippi trio with the awful name and the sterling harmonies. It was nearly impossible to hear those sibling harmonies during more bombastic numbers like "If I Die Young." But whenever their backing band quieted down, the Perrys' vocal magic shone through.

Several groups are meeting in Harlan to talk about how they can capitalize on something we're seeing more and more.
ATV's are drawing tourists and the money they bring with them to eastern Kentucky.
Some are saying the push for ATV and adventure tourism also comes at a cost.
ATV riders are coming into eastern Kentucky from all over, but many say locally we're not
getting back what we could.
"They come in here use our roads and the county's not getting a return," Preston McLain said.
Several Harlan County groups are coming together to discuss how the county can capitalize on the ATV boom.
Others aren't so enthusiastic about ATVs.
"That park has been a burden to my family since they began it," Mike Brewer said.
Mike Brewer says at least 2 times someone's rammed into a family car with an ATV.
"A man was trying to catch up with his group and slammed right into the side of her enough to total it," Brewer said.
"You'll always have the one percent that will try to ruin this for the rest of the people that come in or live here," McLain said.
ATV groups are discussing a countywide tourism tax and even pushing alcohol sales to accommodate visitors.
"Harlan County needs the money, but it needs to be safe and fair to the people that live here at the same time," Brewer said.
Local police say they're closely monitoring ATV riders in an effort to keep things safe.

The plight is extremely massive, a mist of dust and smoke covers the entire city of Mogadishu, the indiscriminate Shelling of the Ethiopian army is still unremitting, but the covered concealed tragedy is finally transpired and turned to a visible heartbreaking catastrophe.
Since the Ethiopian troops invaded Somalia, the Situation of war devastated Somalia was getting worse and tainted to a point where thousands were killed, others were banned to bury the bodies of their beloved ones, much more wounded and couldn't be transported to the overloaded poorly facilitated hospitals, millions flee from their homes and the humanitarian aid was rebuffed to reach them.
Mogadishu, the capital city is totally demolished, crowded city markets, hospitals and other public places are the targets of the Ethiopian tanks and mortar shells. The sidewalks of the major streets are nastily destructed, dug then hollowed out and today like the border line between the two neighboring countries are the trenches of the Ethiopian troops.
After the city markets were devastated and isolated, that magnified the scarcity of food supplies, the Ethiopian troops cordoned many residential areas, constraining poor civilians including infants and unfit ailing elders to stay in their homes for several days with no food or water, and a bullet was simply fed for those that came out for foodstuffs. That was really a death sentence that silently killed hundreds of innocent civilians that luckily survived from their merciless indiscriminate shelling.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
To exterminate the weak remainders after the heavy bombardments, it is common for the Ethiopian troops to invade the attacked neighborhood, where cottages totally disappeared, buildings are flaming, others are Smoldering, and they contemptibly slaughter the shocked and wounded leftovers with their bayonets on their napes. Reporters are always killed, local radio stations are already suffocated, they are not allowed to tell the truth, and human rights groups are under a constant and everlasting attack.
Assuming the temporal talisman that covered the terrible war crimes they commit in Somalia as a timeless one, the tyrant Ethiopian regime is now trying to tackle the accusations of their tremendous inhumane activities, and shamefully condemning the united Nations aiming to silence the international organizations in a similar way as the local radio stations and Mogadishu human rights organizations that they already muted.
Almost everything is taped, facts and proof of evidences are available at all times, Mogadishu massacre and genocide made by the Ethiopian troops was always an absolute truism, but its transpiration to the outside world will certainly be the beginning of a new chapter that can simply content the victims of that horrific inhuman influx of assaults, and incriminate the responsible tail coated cruel tarantulas that must be taken to the world tribunal of war crimes.

Free Plan: Humidorcomments (29) March 6th, 2009 in blogs
If you're anything like me in the shop you know you have to start making gifts way in advance of when you need them. That's why I decided to get a six-month head start on a humidor for a cigar-smoking relative. What I also realized very quickly was that I didn't know the first thing about making a humidor correctly. To remedy that I went to Fine Woodworking, of course.
In issue # 127 Rick Allyn wrote an easy to follow, comprehensive article on everything you need to know to successfully build a humidor. Not only does an exploded drawing give the dimensions and basic construction but Allyn demystifies how a humidor functions, what type of wood you need to use, where to get the humidifier and hygrometer (the instrument that lets you monitor the humidity level), and how to finish the box. The article is packed with a ton of useful techniques that simplify the construction. But the best part is the accompanying gallery of humidors, ranging from funky to period with a Newport shell and all.
The design possibilies are limitless. Here are just a couple of the humidors you'll see in the article:
|Forbidden. Made by Wendell Castle, this jelutong, lacewood, and Spanish cedar humidor defies the typical idea of what a humidor looks like. Photo: David Mohney
|Newporter. John Goff combined Cuban mahogany and Spanish cedar to make this Newport shell humidor. Photo: Kevin Halle
Here are two more inspirational cigar boxes from the Readers Gallery archives. The first made by Richard M. Kerrell and the second by Steve Noffsinger.
Armed with all the information in this article I'm ready to start designing and building my own version of a humidor. The relative in question is also a fly fisherman. Anybody out there have free plans for a trout-shaped humidor?

Skills or Culture? An Analysis of the Decision to Work by Immigrant Women in Italy
Antonio Accetturo
Bank of Italy
Luigi Infante
Bank of Italy
July 12, 2011
Bank of Italy Temi di Discussione (Working Paper) No. 815
Activity and employment rates for immigrant women in many industrialized countries display a great variability across national groups. The aim of this paper is to assess whether this well-known fact is due to a voluntary decision (i.e. large reservation wages by the immigrants) or to an involuntary process in that the labor market evaluation of their skills is low. This is done by estimating the reservation wages for each individual in the dataset. Our results show that low activity and employment rates for certain national groups are not associated with high reservation wages. This implies that low participation should not be interpreted as a voluntary decision.
Number of Pages in PDF File: 44
Keywords: reservation wages, female labour supply, cross-national differences

You may have tuned in to With Good Reason's episode in November, featuring Sarah McConnell's interview with Henry Wiencek, former VFH Fellow and author of Master of the Mountain, a new book exploring the darker side of Thomas Jefferson's thoughts about slavery.
In the interview that aired, Wiencek weaves a provocative tale of Jefferson's changing attitudes toward slavery and his willingness to abandon his ideals—and the nation's ideals—when it came to his own profits and the treatment of his slaves. You can listen to the show here.
Wiencek related several interesting anecdotes that, for issues of time, were left on the cutting-room floor.
For example, Wiencek told the story of Isaac Granger Jefferson, a blacksmith previously owned by Thomas Jefferson and then possibly by Jefferson's son-in-law, Thomas Mann Randolph. Isaac Jefferson was interviewed in 1847, while living as a free man in Petersburg. In his recollections, he describes both Jefferson and Randolph as having been "good masters," but Wiencek argues that he may not have been telling the whole story, especially in light of new evidence.
Interestingly, Randolph wrestled with his own concerns about slavery. After learning that a man enslaved at a neighboring plantation had hanged himself, Randolph investigated the reasoning behind this man's suicide. Wiencek explores how what Randolph learned changed the way in which he treated his own slaves.

When Joe Wozny, CEO of Canada-based digital strategy firm Concentric and author of The Digital Dollar (FairWinds Press) began working with companies and government agencies more than 15 years ago, mobile phones were many years away from being "smart," the iPod was yet to be released, and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg was in middle school.
