The light bricks really add a lot to this... not over shadows but just that little touch - I'm glad you went to the extra effort!
Also great selection of colours to go with the Dark Blue Galaxy patrols...
any thought of building more Vignettes?
I'd seek professional help - but I spent the money on LEGO. | flickr

I'm working on a fantasy build at the moment that is going to be a bit larger than a vignette I think. Part of me wants to expand on this build because I think it would be cool to add some more structures and maybe some sort of little drop ship.

Children's detection of pure-tone signals: Informational masking with contralateral maskers113(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1570443View Description Hide Description
When normal-hearing adults and children are required to detect a 1000-Hz tone in a random-frequency multitone masker, masking is often observed in excess of that predicted by traditional auditory filter models. The excess masking is called informational masking. Though individual differences in the effect are large, the amount of informational masking is typically much greater in young children than in adults [Oh et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 109, 2888–2895 (2001)]. One factor that reduces informational masking in adults is spatial separation of the target tone and masker. The present study was undertaken to determine whether or not a similar effect of spatial separation is observed in children. An extreme case of spatial separation was used in which the target tone was presented to one ear and the random multitone masker to the other ear. This condition resulted in nearly complete elimination of masking in adults. In young children, however, presenting the masker to the nontarget ear typically produced only a slight decrease in overall masking and no change in informational masking. The results for children are interpreted in terms of a model that gives equal weight to the auditory filter outputs from each ear.
Perceptual weights in auditory level discrimination113(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1570441View Description Hide Description
Perceptual weights in level discrimination (also called intensity discrimination) were determined for 3-, 7-, 15-, and 24-component tone complexes with flat spectral envelopes using a correlational paradigm. Each frequency component was randomly and independently perturbed in level on each presentation. For the target interval, frequency-component levels were additionally increased by the level increment to be detected, where p is pressure]. Weights were calculated from the across-trial correlation between the level perturbations for each frequency component and the interval chosen by the listener. Two conditions were investigated: (1) was equal across frequency components, and (2) increased progressively across frequency components. For both conditions, data for four listeners usually showed the greatest weight for the highest frequency component. The two-to-four highest frequency components generally were most important for level discrimination. The effect of increasing progressively with frequency was small and inconsistent. Additional measurements showed that flanking noise maskers designed to mask spread of excitation caused only small and generally unsystematic changes to the weights. Overall, these results indicate that listeners combine information across a wide range of auditory channels to arrive at a decision for level discrimination, but the weighting of channels appears to be suboptimal.
Pitch discrimination of diotic and dichotic tone complexes: Harmonic resolvability or harmonic number?113(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1572146View Description Hide Description
Three experiments investigated the relationship between harmonic number, harmonic resolvability, and the perception of harmonic complexes. Complexes with successive equal-amplitude sine- or random-phase harmonic components of a 100- or 200-Hz fundamental frequency were presented dichotically, with even and odd components to opposite ears, or diotically, with all harmonics presented to both ears. Experiment 1 measured performance in discriminating a 3.5%–5% frequency difference between a component of a harmonic complex and a pure tone in isolation. Listeners achieved at least 75% correct for approximately the first 10 and 20 individual harmonics in the diotic and dichotic conditions, respectively, verifying that only processes before the binaural combination of information limit frequency selectivity. Experiment 2 measured fundamental frequency difference limens as a function of the average lowest harmonic number. Similar results at both provide further evidence that harmonic number, not absolute frequency, underlies the order-of-magnitude increase observed in when only harmonics above about the 10th are presented. Similar results under diotic and dichotic conditions indicate that the auditory system, in performing discrimination, is unable to utilize the additional peripherally resolved harmonics in the dichotic case. In experiment 3, dichotic complexes containing harmonics below the 12th, or only above the 15th, elicited pitches of the and twice the respectively. Together, experiments 2 and 3 suggest that harmonic number, regardless of peripheral resolvability, governs the transition between two different pitch percepts, one based on the frequencies of individual resolved harmonics and the other based on the periodicity of the temporal envelope.
Enhancing interaural-delay-based extents of laterality at high frequencies by using "transposed stimuli"113(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1570431View Description Hide Description
An acoustic pointing task was used to determine whether interaural temporal disparities (ITDs) conveyed by high-frequency "transposed" stimuli would produce larger extents of laterality than ITDs conveyed by bands of high-frequency Gaussian noise. The envelopes of transposed stimuli are designed to provide high-frequency channels with information similar to that conveyed by the waveforms of low-frequency stimuli. Lateralization was measured for low-frequency Gaussian noises, the same noises transposed to 4 kHz, and high-frequency Gaussian bands of noise centered at 4 kHz. Extents of laterality obtained with the transposed stimuli were greater than those obtained with bands of Gaussian noise centered at 4 kHz and, in some cases, were equivalent to those obtained with low-frequency stimuli. In a second experiment, the general effects on lateral position produced by imposed combinations of bandwidth, ITD, and interaural phase disparities (IPDs) on low-frequency stimuli remained when those stimuli were transposed to 4 kHz. Overall, the data were fairly well accounted for by a model that computes the cross-correlation subsequent to known stages of peripheral auditory processing augmented by low-pass filtering of the envelopes within the high-frequency channels of each ear.
A comparison of psychophysical procedures for level-discrimination thresholds113(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1570445View Description Hide Description
Five different psychophysical procedures were used to measure level-discrimination (also called intensity discrimination) thresholds for 1-kHz tones at two levels (30 and 90 dB SPL) and two durations (10 and 500 ms). The procedures were the classic transformed up–down staircase method with a two-alternative forced-choice (2AFC) paradigm (UPD), 15- and 50-trial implementations of the method of maximum likelihood (MML) with a cued yes–no paradigm, and 18-trial implementations of ZEST using both cued yes–no and 2AFC paradigms. Results obtained from nine normal listeners show that estimates of level-discrimination thresholds for the four conditions are similar across all five procedures when different points of convergence are accounted for. The variance of threshold estimates within listener and condition was smallest for UPD, largest for the MML with 15 trials, and statistically indistinguishable among the others. The sweat factors ranged from 5.5 for MML with 50 trials to about 1.4 for UPD and ZEST. Simulations show that ideal performance of procedures may be far from real-life experience and that these deviations are likely to depend on complex interactions between listener behavior and parameter choices used for implementing the procedures. Therefore, empirical verification is important for judging the effectiveness of psychophysical procedures.

After my first app strollCharlton, I published an app called KittyCat Image Generator, and as you might guess, it was all about kitties and cats. Miaow!
I wanted to continue working with API data and found Kitten Placeholder on Mashape, then used the two end points as buttons in my app to download images.
In addition, I integrated the Twitter (Fabric) and Facebook SDKs so users could share the images with a tweet or a post.
Lastly, I added a save button that calls the notification bar, allowing you to set the image as your wallpaper or share the image with compatible apps.
To learn more, please download or view on YouTube.
The husband and I visited America for five weeks in September 2015, and before our trip I began studying Java, and started working through programming tutorials using IntelliJ IDEA.
On our return I moved onto app development for the Android platform and started learning the ins and outs of the application Android Studio.
My goal was to develop a suitably polished app that I could publish on the Google Play Store before applying for developer internship positions in central London. I have now done this (ta da!), and the app is called strollCharlton.
The idea of a local area guide for Charlton (where we now live) came from a three year old plan to do a London wide tourist guide app that wasn't just full of marketing guff, but that actually contained useful and interesting information.
We got as far as deciding on a name related to walking that hadn't been overly used, and I started writing a bit of content for some places in Greenwich (where we lived then), but that was it… cut to three years later and I did it at last. Hooray for me!
The app itself combines a number of my pre-Android interests – I've been writing blogs, essays, work instructions and client facing emails for many years, and I've always had an eye for design (plus a GCSE in Graphics and an A2-Level in Design Studies – those things are always integral to life!), so it was quite fun to develop, and it has obvious potential for repurposing to another location.
strollCharlton is free to download and I would appreciate any feedback and/or reviews.
Thanks to my husband's mini programming library, plus the power of Google, I have a good number of 'go to' Java and Android resources. See below for my recommendations.

In April I went up to Liverpool to see friends, and as well sampling the delights of Mowgli, and taking a ferry cross the Mersey, we also visited Parkgate on the Wirral.
It was a gloriously sunny day and we crossed the river for a beautiful and scenic drive south towards this small village on the west side of the peninsula, facing Wales and the River Dee.
Parkgate's importance in the area grew and shrank from the gradual silting of the Dee over time. It grew when a new port was needed further downstream from Chester, and then shrank as the continued silting of the river eventually moved shipping away from the Dee to the Mersey.
Towards the end of the 18th century the village was also popular as a bathing destination, but the silting of the river became so severe that marshland covered the riverbed next to the town. Nowadays, only seasonal high tides bring the river to Parkgate.
A thirty minute drive from Liverpool, Parkgate is now a commuter village full of beautiful houses and fantastic views across to Wales. The prices aren't bad if you are a Londoner but even this might be a bit much for anyone!
After a drink or two at The Boat House we meandered down to the village itself for a super duper ice cream from Nicholls ice cream parlour. Then it was general silliness and photos. 😀
Definitely worth a visit if you are in the Chester or Liverpool area. 🙂
As well as 451, I also volunteered for The Secret Princess of Severndroog at the beginning of July – another show that was part of the Greenwich and Docklands Festival.
The show is for small children (and big hearted adults), and the volunteers were tasked with escorting the four groups of children through the woods around Severndroog Castle, just off Shooters Hill.
Fairies Bramble, Dandelion, Bluebell and Ivy led the groups and told the assembled audience about all the magical creatures in the woods who had been trapped by the evil wizard, and how to battle him to free the princess. 🙂
In the photo below, Dandelion and Bramble tell the children about the wishing tree, and invite them to write a message to the princess to cheer her up.
Each group then takes a slightly different route round the castle to meet different forest creatures – on my second shift I was lucky enough to go on the alternate route where we meet the princess' mother. Here the children are meeting the vain and selfish prince and have to encourage him to not rescue the princess.
Next stop is a grumpy but good magician who was turned in a frog by the evil wizard. He has managed to turn himself partly back but still "ribbits" a lot! He helps the children with a spell and a defence word to scare the wizard away.
This forest creature swung her way down to the group on a harness and then taught us all two defence techniques to fight the wizard. If my memory is correct, we learnt a laughing pointing heckle, and a bum wiggling mooning motion!
Here in the rose garden we met a dancer and a singer both trapped in the wood, but the singer can't speak anymore and can only communicate with her accordion. We learnt a line from a song to frighten the wizard.
After meeting the four forest dwellers, the group circles back to the castle itself to meet up with the other groups, and all the woodland creatures to rescue the princess. We meet the evil wizard as shown below, and recite our defence word and actions to scare him away. We succeed and everyone is released from the wood! Hurrah!
But we then have to persuade the princess to leave the castle as she is scared of leaving after so many years of being trapped. She is a bit of a whiny thing but we eventually succeed with our cheerful song (I didn't manage to get any photos of the princess as Instagram doesn't work so well from a distance of 63 feet).
The princess then comes down to thank us and we all sing our song again to finish the show.
Thank you to Look Left Look Right for a lovely show!
P.S. You can get married at the castle 🙂
On the 21st of June I finally got muddy in Deptford Creek with the Creekside Education Trust. The trust regularly runs walks for the general public, and for schools in the local area.
Each walk is organised for low tide as at high tide you would be swimming! You are armed with waders and a trusty stick to keep you upright, and after a briefing in the beautiful surrounds of the flower garden, you are then led down to the creek.
It is a bit smelly, but the pure joy of tramping about in mud soon wafts the aroma of the creek away.
The trust's base of operations is situated next to the London Bridge to Greenwich Railway Viaduct between Greenwich and Deptford, and the access path to the creek leads you to exact spot where the railway line crosses Deptford Creek.
The bridge itself was modified in 1954 to include a lifting mechanism that allowed boats with tall masts to pass up the creek. The mechanism is now defunct but luckily for us it is safe from removal, and can still be viewed at close proximity from the Ha'Penny Hatch footbridge.
We headed upstream away from the mouth of the Thames, towards the first DLR bridge over the creek. This bit of the DLR crosses the creek three times between Deptford Bridge and Greenwich.
View upstream towards The Art in Perpetuity Trust and Creekside Artists.
Third DLR bridge over the creek with a view towards the boats permanently moored and lived on in the creek.
My beautiful waders protecting me from the sludge and mud.
A little further upstream we cross the creek at a small weir, and we were carefully aided by the volunteers on the slippy bit!
Now renovated flats, the S. P. & C. Mumford Grain Silo was built in 1897 by architect Sir Aston Webb.
A dead crab shell found by our guide, a brief discussion on the creek's biodiversity followed, plus a bad joke from me…
Guide: How do you check if a crab is male or female?
Me: Check if it has a willy
Cue many laughs and childish giggles. 😀
Just after the dead crab, we reached the weir at the top of the creek, the weir pushes the water underground as it crosses the A2. Once it resurfaces on the other side it is known as River Ravensbourne, and at Lewisham it joins with another tributary – the River Quaggy.
We then made our way back to the start of the walk to catch some river creatures. You grind the river dirt under your feet to move it about, then see what appears in your net.
View towards the trust's wild flower garden.
We also walked under the rail bridge and headed towards Trinity Laban's dance centre.
View south towards Deptford and Lewisham.
Thank you for an excellent Sunday in the bright sunshine!
Formed in 1999, the trust's mission is to "work with the local and wider community to sustain and promote the regeneration of Deptford Creek through education, conservation and the forging of partnerships. The trust also aims to act as a voice for nature conservation and biodiversity in the area."
The centre itself mainly runs on a volunteer basis and more help is always welcomed, if you would like to get involved with this wonderful organisation please click here.

Game Recap: Patriots 41, Ravens 7
ReplayPatriots Replay
Wed., Aug. 24, 2016 4:00 PM to 11:59 PM EDT
Needing a victory to remain in the hunt for the AFC North title, the defending Super Bowl champions came up with a dud of a performance and fell to the Patriots 41-7 Sunday.
Baltimore committed four turnovers, yielded four sacks, fell behind 17-0 in the second quarter and gave up three touchdowns in the final 125 seconds.
The rematch of last season's AFC title game was quite the mismatch.
"You know, we're used to going out there and playing well when we need to when the playoffs are on the line," said Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco, who threw two interceptions. "We come out today hungry and ready to go get ourselves into the playoffs or make that next step toward it, and we just didn't do it."
The loss eliminated the Ravens (8-7) from contention in the AFC North and dropped them into a tie with Miami and San Diego for the final AFC wild-card slot. Baltimore closes the regular season at Cincinnati, which displaced the Ravens as division champs.
"We lost the game, putting it behind us and moving on," coach John Harbaugh said. "We have a lot at stake next week. That's what we'll be looking forward to prepare for."
Logan Ryan had two interceptions and LeGarrette Blount scored twice for the playoff-bound Patriots, who ended the Ravens' four-game winning streak.
The previous time these two teams met, the AFC title hung in the balance and Baltimore used a strong second half to pull out a 28-13 victory. In this one, New England took control early and never let up.
The Patriots (11-4) were assured their fifth straight AFC East title before the game started when Miami lost at Buffalo. It's the 11th division crown for New England coach Bill Belichick, tied with Don Shula for most since the 1970 merger.
"Happy to win the AFC East," Belichick said. "Hopefully, we can build off this game."
Tom Brady completed 14 of 26 passes for 172 yards and a touchdown. He has led his team to 11 division titles, two more than any other starting quarterback in NFL history.
"They're all special. It's hard to come by, and this team's really fought hard all year," Brady said. "We've earned it. Eleven wins in the NFL's not easy, and to win a division title's not easy."
It was the Ravens' most lopsided loss since a 37-0 defeat at Pittsburgh in 1997. Things went so bad for Baltimore that Justin Tucker's run of 33 straight field goals ended when he went wide left on a 37-yarder with 14:19 remaining.
Flacco went 22 for 38 for 260 yards. Wearing a brace on his left knee after being injured last week in Detroit, Flacco had difficulty escaping the unyielding pressure applied by New England's defensive front.
"I don't think he played well," Harbaugh said.
Refusing to use the brace as an excuse, Flacco said, "I would have liked to play better. The brace had nothing to do with anything."
Baltimore trailed 20-0 late in the third quarter when Ray Rice was stuffed for no gain on a fourth-and-1 at the New England 4. That effectively ended any chance of a comeback.
The Ravens scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak by Flacco with 9:21 left, enabling Baltimore to avoid its first shutout loss since 2002, against Tampa Bay.
It was of very little consolation to the defending champs.
"It's a tough pill to swallow," safety James Ihedigbo said. "Definitely a frustrating loss."
New England scored on a 7-yard run by Blount with 2:05 to go to make it 27-7, then added another touchdown when an errant snap eluded Ravens backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor and Chandler Jones recovered the ball in the end zone.
Tavon Wilson capped the scoring with a 74-yard interception return with 40 seconds remaining.
Baltimore's previous three games were decided by three points or fewer, but it became evident early that this one would not be close.
New England went up 7-0 on its second possession. A 34-yard pass interference penalty against Jimmy Smith put the ball at the Baltimore 1 before Blount bulled into the end zone.
Three plays later, Flacco threw into double coverage and was intercepted by Ryan at the New England 47. After completing a 34-yard pass to Danny Amendola, Brady connected with Shane Vereen for a 4-yard score.
The Patriots quickly got the ball back, and Stephen Gostkowski kicked a 45-yard field goal on the first play of the second quarter to make it 17-0.
NOTES: New England DB Devin McCourty left with a head injury, and Vereen left with a groin injury. ... Tucker's miss was his first since Week 2. ... Baltimore finished with more yardage, 358-300.

Does Big Data threaten to play a Big Brother-like role in American electoral politics? Or are concerns about the micro-targeting of voters that arose during the 2012 campaign make a mountain out of a molehill - albeit a very busy and well-financed one?
That was the stark range of opinion voiced Friday at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School for Communication, where more than 30 data experts, scholars, and political operatives gathered to discuss the largely invisible ways Big Data tools are altering politics.
During last year's presidential campaign, conference organizer Joseph Turow, an Annenberg professor, found that 86 percent of Americans did not want to see "political advertising tailored to your interests" - a common description of "behaviorally targeted" ads that have stirred controversy not for their content, but because of how they find their way to your computer or smartphone screen.

Jebel Ali, in the astonishing (and continuously under construction) Palm Islands project, is a fabulous destination if you don't mind paying a premium for virtually anything you might need, from lodging to activities to food and drink and everything in between. If you've got money to spend, the pristine beauty of Jebel Ali's system of beaches and lagoons is a fantastic place to pursue some fun in the sun. Al-Mamzar Beach Park is a good place for travelers with children in tow, and the Jumeirah Beach area has the best white sand beaches in the region.
"The World" (or World Islands) is an artificial archipelago of manmade islands designed and constructed in the shape of a world map. Located a few miles off the coast of Dubai, the islands are mainly composed of sand dredged from the country's shallow coastal waters. The Royal Island Beach Club opened for business on Lebanon Island in July 2012, and while there are rumors that it, along with much of the rest of the project, is literally sinking back into the sea, it is nonetheless an architectural marvel. Whatever its eventual fate, this strange undertaking conceived by Dubai's ruler (Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum) is a sight to see. Due to major financial difficulties linked to the recent global economic downturn, development of the project has intermittently been halted and/or hindered. Construction is ongoing, but there is plenty for travelers to check out and more is likely to be unveiled as time goes on.

Toronto Police have made an arrest in the case of a man who allegedly exposed himself, in the children's section of a bookstore in Midtown Toronto. 47 year old William Shorten was arrested in Toronto on Tuesday, and charged with indecent act and fail to comply with probation. It's not the first time he's been arrested for something like this. As a matter of fact, Shorten has been convicted 12 times of crimes involving children aged 5 to 14, at bookstores and libraries in Toronto. In those cases, Shorten would go to the children's section of a bookstore, before exposing himself. Constable Victor Kwong with Toronto Police say they are worried there could be more victims out there. "If anyone does recall seeing someone who looks like the photo we've put out, and has been a victim of some sort of sexual assault or indecent act, to give us a call."

Corporate Advocacy Program™
On Monday (10/10/2011) one of the Straight Talk representatives forwarded my number to another customer's cellular phone without my consent or my acknowledgment. My cell phone is used for multiple purposes and one of those purposes is business. I have talked to several different representatives and wasted countless hours on the line with no results.
They all are telling me different things as if they are making of these things as they talk to me. They also refused to allow me to talk to the manager by placing me on hold countless times and returning to the line saying he's on break or he's on another call. The rep informed me that they were located offshore and that the corporate office was located in Miami. I was informed by straight talk that it was a male that called in to have my number transferred which was an unauthorized transfer; I assume the representatives did not ask for my security questions. I was told that my phone would be on and working in two hours yesterday, I called back and was told phone would be would be working in 8 hours as they had reactivated my sim card. I was also told that they sold my number to AT & T wireless; I was told that a sim card would be shipped overnight; I was told that it would take two-three days before I receive my sim card. As you can see, I
I was told a lot of untrue things. Straight talk representative transferred my number to another phone without my permission and violated my privacy.

Community Youth Courts
Community Youth Courts
Community Youth Courts (CYC) offers a juvenile justice alternative that is operated for and by youth.
CYC works with middle and high school teens who are first time offenders of misdemeanor or lesser crimes in the Southern Contra Costa and Alameda Counties. We offer the offending youth a second chance via restorative justice, positive peer interaction and personal growth opportunities. Emphasis is placed on maintaining respectful treatment of offenders and victims. Participating youth learn about making responsible choices and accepting the consequences for their actions. Recidivism rates are very low, so there is less crime and less money lost in having to process the youth offenders through the juvenile court system.

So they changed banks for a reason, They changed their name to hide form all of us sticking it to them. Well they can not hide any longer; the word is out.
Also I hear of a few more managers getting fired. Some one had it right. If you do not kiss you know what and you do not make the company a whole lot of money. You're gone. The bad thing is if you are a 1099 you can not collect unemployment.
What's funny is you get fired and 3-4 days later some recruiter is calling you trying to hire you to work for the company. Yea right. They will do anything for a hire.
It pays to still have friends in the company. Stay tuned

I never stayed at this location and i booked by accident. when i tried to get a refund they were uncooperative and somewhat greedy after a valid explanation. it make me wonder but karma always takes care of things, so no worries.
was taken to correct stay correct
pour le pris c'était correcte
sejour correcte
The neighborhood may seem a disadvantage, but we felt safe. Only 25 minutes from Manhattan with the subway, which is close to the apartment (5 minutes walk). Quiet room overlooking a backyard. Bright room and without flap, thus possibly predict sleep masks. Place shortly socket and sparsely decorated but clean properly. Kitchen with a large fridge, but too narrow to eat more than 2. Raphaela is very nice. Do not hesitate to ask for her number, because it is often not there.
Le quartier peut sembler défavorisé, mais nous nous sommes sentis en sécurité. A 25 mn du sud de Manhattan avec le métro, qui est proche de l'appartement (5mn à pied). Chambre au calme donnant sur une arrière-cour. Pièce lumineuse et sans volet, donc éventuellement prévoir les masques pour dormir. Lieu peu douillé et peu décoré, mais propreté correcte. Cuisine équipée d'un grand frigo, mais trop étroite pour manger à plus de 2. Raphaela est très gentille. Il ne faut pas hésiter à lui demander son numéro, car elle n'est pas souvent sur place.
Recommended for those with a mind of her own. Pretty rugged area and frugal comfort. The price is hard to beat and it's easy to get around in Brooklyn and into Manhattan.
Rekommenderas för de med skinn på näsan. Ganska ruffigt område och sparsam komfort. Priset är dock svårt att slå och det är lätt att ta sig runt i Brooklyn eller in till Manhattan.
Perfect if you're looking for an affordable bedroom for a short stay in a condo near manhattan with parking, a/c, fridge, cable tv, and wi-fi. I had an awesome time.
We had a nice time staying with Rafaela. The room was clean, but much smaller than it looked on the pictures. The problem was the air conditioning. The was only a window unit in our room, nothing in the kitchen or the bathroom. Taking a shower felt like being in a sauna. Also the shower cabin leaked and there was always water on the floor when you got out of it so you stepped into a big paddle- very unsafe for children, easy to slip and get hurt. Overall not a bad place for the money though.
my stay was wonderful my sister and i and the kids love the room it was spacious with a/c and a full kitchen we loved
not very good neighborhood, all spanish speaking, we stayed for 6 nights, room was not cleaned during our stay, no towels, no air conditioning, kitchen was not clean, but quiet in the house
niet al te beste buurt, allemaal spaans sprekend, wij verbleven 6 nachten, kamer is niet schoongemaakt tijdens ons verblijf, geen handdoeken, geen airco, keuken was niet schoon, wel rustig in huis
"Wonderful accommodation" is not really the right word but it's everything you need to sleep and cook occasionally. 5 min from metro, decent location and the owner is friendly. So good plan to visit NYC for a week cheap.
"magnifique logement" n'est pas vraiment le terme approprié mais c'est tout ce qu'il faut pour dormir et cuisiner ponctuellement. A 5 min du métro, quartier correct et la propriétaire est chaleureuse. Donc bon plan pour visiter NYC pendant une semaine à pas cher.
I can not recommend this place. During my stay the Wi-Fi did not work. Unable to contact Rafaela (it did not satisfy phones and SMS) She does not live in maison.Je've never met. There is another woman who lived there called Rosa, she is nice but she speaks only Spanish and did not help much. No towels, sheets .. questionable cleanliness. I had to insist on a blanket (it was cold). No furniture or chair in the bathroom, no mirror. A little difficult to use the bathroom, three common rooms. The place is quiet, not far from two metro stations (line J and M), there are several stores in the area. Monika, France
Je ne peux pas conseiller cet endroit. Pendant mon séjour le Wi-Fi ne marchait pas . Impossible de contacter Rafaela ( elle ne repondait pas aux téléphones et SMS); Elle n'habite pas à la maison.Je ne l'ai jamais rencontré. Il y a une autre femme qui y habite qui s'appelle Rosa , elle est sympa mais elle parle seulement espagnol et n'aide pas beaucoup. Pas de serviettes, les draps .. propreté douteuse. J'ai du insister pour avoir une couverture ( il faisait froid). Pas de meuble ou chaise dans la salle de bain , pas de miroir. Un peu difficile pour utiliser la salle de bain, commune pour 3 chambres. L'endroit est calme, pas loin de 2 stations de métro(ligne J et M) , il y a plusieurs magasins dans le coin. Monika , France

Food Habits
Termites ingest wood. They cannot, however, digest wood fibers. Instead, "Termites rely on single-celled animals -- protozoa -- that live in their gut to digest the hard components of wood, freeing up the cellulose that nourishes them." (Grady, 1996) They live off of the by-products of this process.
Plant Foods: roots and tubers; wood, bark, or stems
Primary Diet: herbivore (Lignivore)

#1 UPDATE Employee
Information about Pre-Screening Pursuant to the FCRA and the Services Offered by Farragut Financial Corporation
AUTHOR: Jonathan C. Poss - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, December 17, 2007POSTED: Monday, December 17, 2007
In order to identify consumers who are able to benefit from our services, we offer firm offers of credit pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) using the prescreening process. The FCRA allows financial institutions to obtain and use consumer reports on any consumer in connection with any credit or insurance transaction that is not initiated by the consumer, in order to make firm offers of credit or insurance. This process, known as prescreening, occurs when a financial institution obtains a list from a consumer reporting agency of consumers who meet certain pre-determined creditworthiness criteria and who have not elected to be excluded from such lists. Firm offers of credit may be conditioned on one or more of the following pursuant to the FCRA:
(1) The consumer being determined, based on information in the consumer's application for the credit, to meet specific criteria bearing on creditworthiness (not contained in the consumer report not contained in the consumer report such as employment and income), as applicable, that are:
(A) established before selection of the consumer for the offer; and
(B) established for the purpose of determining whether to extend credit pursuant to the offer.
(2) Verification:
(A) that the consumer continues to meet the specific criteria used to select the consumer for the offer, by using information in a consumer report on the consumer, information in the consumer's application for the credit, or other information bearing on the creditworthiness of the consumer; or
(B) of the information in the consumer's application for the credit, to determine that the consumer meets the specific criteria bearing on creditworthiness or insurability.
(3) The consumer furnishing any collateral that is a requirement for the extension of the credit or insurance that was:
(A) established before selection of the consumer for the offer of credit; and
(B) disclosed to the consumer in the offer of credit.
Unfortunately, many consumers who satisfy the pre-determined creditworthiness criteria (i.e., the prescreening criteria) do not also satisfy the criteria listed in Items 1 and 3 above. For example, a consumer's debt-to-income ratio may exceed the pre-established credit policy guidelines. Calculating an applicant's debt-to-income ratio requires income information that cannot be ascertained through the FCRA pre-screening process. That is because the debt-to-income ratio compares debt load to income and is a key indicator of a consumer's financial picture that is relied upon by creditors. Generally, the debt-to-income ratio is calculated by dividing monthly minimum debt payments by monthly gross income. Farragut Financial Corporation will not know a consumer's income until the consumer contacts us in response to a "firm offer of credit."
Also, it is important to understand that prescreening does not have a negative impact on a consumer's credit score. Below please find information from the Federal Trade Commission located at ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/credit/prescreen.shtm:
"Can prescreening hurt my credit report or credit score?
No. There will be inquiries on your credit report showing which companies obtained your information for prescreening, but those inquiries will not have a negative effect on your credit report or credit score."
If you have questions about the services offered by Farragut Financial Corporation, then please do not hesitate to contact us. Our information is available at www.ezautoloan.com.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

- - Four more fights added to the already incredible UFC on FOX 5 card (http://www.mmaforum.com/ufc/104730-four-more-fights-added-already-incredible-ufc-fox-5-card.html)
Four more fights added to the already incredible UFC on FOX 5 card
So far we have:
Benson Henderson (c) vs. Nate Diaz
Mauricio Rua vs. Alexander Gustafsson
B.J. Penn vs. Rory MacDonald
Ramsey Nijem vs. Joe Proctor
As well as the fights in the tidbit above - this card is incredible! Of course the first three fights on this list are on the main card, but which fight will be the last? (UFC on FOX events usually have four main card fights)
I'll go with some heavyweight action to start the night out, but you never know - they could go with Swick again, very popular with the faithful fans :)
I assume (Anything else would be dumb) that these three fights are on the main card:
Bendo vs. Diaz
Shogun vs. Gustafsson
BJ vs. Rory
There's still one spot open, and one of the fights have to fill that spot :) It hasn't been announced yet
That's quite the card for a Free TV one. Ill be watching for sure.
Glad to see Swick wasting no time and jumping right back in there after a very impressive win.
Also totally stoked to see Nate bring the fight to Bendo and become the new Lightweight champ. Should be a hell of a night for fights.
Nice, this is my most looked forward to card now, Swick vs Brown, holy hell that is gonna be awesome. I think they should stack all cards with twice as many big fights as they intend on showing just so it won't be such a downer when only half the fights make it to the event with both fighters still healthy.
I doubt Nijim/Proctor is main card.
But man, I'm kinda worried for Schaub if Lavar gets a hold of him he might die.

Godshearer versus the Smog Monsters
Come on Boro! I want to see the fat, shirtless Geordies blubbering like babies (yet again!). Will " I think I am hard because I watch boxing" boy shed his tears if Shearer (no coaching badges) and his shite team lose?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Yeah, I forgot about that! Just shows their fans are not mawkish either! Good on them,but you are right, they ain't the type to over-indulge in grief-fests. The more the merrier, I say. Less tears and more joyful celebrations of players' careers, and less black armbands for non-football related deaths. I find a lot of it quite ghoulish, to be honest.
I was at west ham for the minutes applause for bestie. It really did bring a tear to my eye. Much more than a minutes silence ever does. Most of the time they're ruined by some moron shouting something and another hundred morons shouting fuck off back
Well, according to that wikipedia entry the Newcastle-Gateshead metropolitan area has a population of 799,000, and they would be classed as local, so that is a fair amount of people in your catchment area who are likely to support NUFC. But do you really expect Manchester United to get much support from places in Greater Manchester like Bolton, who have their own Prem club?
You misrepresent the foundation of FC United. Many local fans were opposed to the idea of the club falling into private hands; something which every other club (including your own - at least initially, until like the scousers you found your owner wasn't as rich as Roman A) has welcomed. Sure, that might not resonate with your view of club ownership but the consistency of such an approach is self-evident, and beyond criticism unless you welcome billionaire football ownership as many do.
Anyway, Stoke have the loudest fans not Newcastle:
As for the problems at OT with standing up or singing,they are well-known:
Do you have to put up with stewards like United have at OT? Your owners know they can only make money from so-called Toon Army at NUFC, so they need you there to buy their shirts and generate revenue. If they could attract wealthier supporters they would, but the demographics are against it. Your loyalty is the blind loyalty of the Tommy going over the top. You yourself welcomed Ashley I recall: we resisted Murdoch and came close to defeating the Glazers.

Never made a note of the article URL but a few months ago I saw an interesting piece where it was suggested that Transfers and player wages should be directly linked to a clubs taxable income, hard to say what the result of this would be on the current Premier League members or their standings in the table.
I have a feeling that the EPL is under pressure from Andy Burnham, and rightly so. The unfortunate thing after the positive noises made by the Football Task Force, nothing was done to stop Scudamore letting any dodgy git get hold of a football club. I do think things will start to change. Burnham made some interesting points:
That is another myth: Manchester and Liverpool were hit just as hard, and if it was simply down to unemployment in Newcastle, how come their support suddenly reappeared with Keegan? Did he bring a magic wand with him that suddenly cured unemployment in Newcastle and more than doubled their crowds? The myth needs dispelling. And if it was just down to unemployment, why did Rangers and Celtic in Glasgow (which was harder hit in the Tory era than Newcastle) retain their support?
London Exiles London Exiles May 12, 2009 17:49 Flag
Not as easy as that Levy, when Newcastle were relegated there was tremendous unemployment in the North East. it was the hardest hit region in England for jobless at the time. Must have had a knock on effect with attendances at St James.
They were talking about Boro' a few weeks ago on Sky and the fact that their average home gate this season has been at only 75% capacity, this was after the FA Cup match against West Ham when the ground was only 40% full even though they gave away 1500 tickets to local schools to boost the gate.
Boro' just seem to me to be a club that would possibly go into administration if they were to be relegated.

If it's a choice between Hull and Newcastle I would far rather see Hull drop down, Phil Brown and Hull could take a leaf out of Tony Pulis and Stoke's book who have spent their first year in the top tier keeping their heads down and their mouths shut.
Hull remind me too much of Wimbledon and the Crazy Gang, ok when it's going well but moaning and whinging when things don't go their way.
Phil Brown must have been reading the Dave Bassett and Neil Warnock book of excuses.
I can't decide whether he is Ant or Dec!!!
OK so we have now established that neither of us are plastics. Fair enough, we have both supported our respective teams through dark days.
Let's just go back to ridiculing each others teams rather than calling each other plastics.
I did (still do) want to see Newcastle go down,but it looks like that you have escaped this season, mainly due to the idiocy of Phil Brown with his on-pitch humiliation of his team at Wastelands which sent Hull's season into freefall.
You are also lucky that Owen got injured, so Shearer was forced to bring on Martens. It wasn't inspired, just unavoidable!

About John Prine
An acclaimed singer/songwriter whose literate work flirted with everything from acoustic folk to rockabilly to straight-ahead country, John Prine was born October 10, 1946, in Maywood, IL. Raised by parents firmly rooted in their rural Kentucky background, at age 14 Prine began learning to play the guitar from his older brother while taking inspiration from his grandfather, who had played with Merle Travis. After a two-year tenure in the U.S. Army, Prine became a fixture on the Chicago folk music scene in the late '60s, befriending another young performer named Steve Goodman.
Prine's compositions caught the ear of Kris Kristofferson, who was instrumental in helping him win a recording contract. In 1971, he went to Memphis to record his eponymously titled debut album; though not a commercial success, songs like "Sam Stone," the harsh tale of a drug-addled Vietnam veteran, won critical approval. Neither 1972's Diamonds in the Rough nor 1973's Sweet Revenge fared any better on the charts, but Prine's work won great renown among his fellow performers; the Everly Brothers covered his song "Paradise," while both Bette Midler and Joan Baez offered renditions of "Hello in There."
For 1975's Common Sense, Prine turned to producer Steve Cropper, the highly influential house guitarist for the Stax label; while the album's sound shocked the folk community with its reliance on husky vocals and booming drums, it served notice that Prine was not an artist whose work could be pigeonholed, and was his only LP to reach the U.S. Top 100. Steve Goodman took over the reins for 1978's folky Bruised Orange, but on 1979's Pink Cadillac, Prine took another left turn and recorded an electric rockabilly workout produced at Sun Studios by the label's legendary founder, Sam Phillips, and his son Knox.
Following 1980's Storm Windows, Prine was dropped by Asylum Records, and he responded by forming his own label, Oh Boy Records, with the help of longtime manager Al Bunetta. The label's first release was 1984's Aimless Love, and under his own imprint Prine's music thrived, as 1986's country-flavored German Afternoons earned a Grammy nomination in the Contemporary Folk category. After 1988's John Prine Live, he released 1991's Grammy-winning The Missing Years; co-produced by Howie Epstein of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, the album featured guest appearances from Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, and Tom Petty and proved to be Prine's biggest commercial success to date, selling nearly 250,000 copies. After making his film debut in 1992's John Mellencamp-directed Falling from Grace, Prine returned in 1995 with Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings, also produced by Epstein, which earned him another Grammy nomination.
In 1998, while Prine was working on an album of male/female country duets, he was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, with the cancer forming on the right side of his neck. Prine underwent surgery and radiation treatment for the cancer, and in 1999 was well enough to complete the album, which was released as In Spite of Ourselves and featured contributions from Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Trisha Yearwood, Patty Loveless, Connie Smith, and more. In 2000, Prine re-recorded 15 of his best-known songs (partly to give his voice a workout following his treatment, but primarily so Oh Boy would own recordings of his earlier hits) for an album called Souvenirs, originally issued in Germany but later released in the United States. In 2005, he released Fair & Square, a collection of new songs, followed by a concert tour. Two years later, alongside singer and guitarist Mac Wiseman, Prine issued Standard Songs for Average People, a collection of the two musicians' interpretations of 14 folk and country classics. In Person & on Stage, a collection of performances from various concert tours, appeared in 2010. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

The Supreme Court faces a discomfiting decision. If it chooses, as it should, to hear a case concerning racial preferences in admissions at the University of Texas, the court will confront evidence of its complicity in harming the supposed beneficiaries of preferences the court has enabled and encouraged.
In the 1978 Bakke case concerning preferences in a medical school's admissions, Justice Lewis Powell, the swing vote on a fractured court, wrote that institutions of higher education have a First Amendment right -- academic freedom -- to use race as one "plus" factor when shaping student bodies to achieve viewpoint diversity. Thus began the "educational benefits" exception to the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection of the laws.
But benefits to whom?
Liberals would never stoop to stereotyping, but they say minorities necessarily make distinctive -- stereotypical? -- contributions to viewpoint diversity, conferring benefits on campus culture forever. And minorities admitted to elite universities and professional schools supposedly serve the compelling goal of enlarging the minority component of the middle class and professions.
But what if many of the minorities used in this process are injured by it? Abundant research says they are, as two amicus curiae briefs demonstrate in urging the court to take the Texas case.
A brief submitted by UCLA law professor Richard Sander and legal analyst Stuart Taylor argues that voluminous research refutes the legal premise for such racial classifications: They benefit relatively powerless minorities.
"Academic mismatch" causes many students who are admitted under a substantial preference based on race, but who possess weaker academic skills, to fall behind. The consequences include especially high attrition rates from the sciences, and self-segregation in less-demanding classes, thereby reducing classroom diversity. Blacks are significantly more integrated across the University of California system than they were before the state eliminated racial preferences in 1996, thereby discouraging enrollment of underprepared minorities in the more elite institutions.
A second brief, submitted by three members of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (Gail Heriot, Peter Kirsanow and Todd Gaziano), argues that racial preferences in law school admissions mean fewer black lawyers than there would be without preferences that bring law students into elite academic settings where their credentials put them in the bottom of their classes. A similar dynamic is reducing the number of minority scientists and engineers than there would be under race-neutral admissions policies.
There are fewer minorities entering high-prestige careers than there would be if preferences were not placing many talented minority students in inappropriate, and discouraging, academic situations: "Many would be honor students elsewhere. But they are subtly being made to feel as if they are less talented than they really are."
The court should use the Texas case to acknowledge the intersection of constitutional law and social science regarding racial preferences, and to revisit the crumbling legal rationale for them.
Until it does, diversity bureaucracies on campuses will continue to use minority students as mere means to other people's ends, injuring minorities by treating them as ingredients that supposedly enrich the academic experience of others.
In six devastating words, the Heriot-Kirsanow-Gaziano brief distills the case against the "diversity" rationale for racial preferences: "Minority students are not public utilities."

So I'm working on a theme that started out as Benevolence and ended up being Borderline Chaos.
