Really nice place to stay.The flat is very good located and clean as well.
Communication was absolutly super, no problems even our flight was delayed.
Many thanks to Eberhart&Aurelie
Unfortunately there were bedbugs in the flat but the problem was quickly taken care of and we were moved to another flat where we could enjoy our stay in Barcelona.
Tout c'est très bien passé que ce soit à l'accueil ou au départ. Appartement fonctionnel et très bien situé. Merci
Die Unterkunft ist sehr empfehlenswert. Die Lage ist super für Sightseeing in Barcelona. Viele Sights sind auf dem Fußweg erreichbar. Gute Metroanbindung. Netter Empfang.
Das Apartment war sauber und wohnlich. Einziges Manko ist, dass kaum Putzzeug (Spühlschwamm, Lappen) vorhanden waren.
Auch schade war es, dass uns von Wimdu ein paar Tage vor der Reise eine E-Mail mit den zusammenfassenden Informationen zugeschickt wurde. Hier war die falsche Hausnummer notiert und wir standen 1 Stunde wartend vor der falschen Unterkunft.
Loved the location, beautiful clean apartment with a large kitchen & terrace with great views. Pictures online are accurate. Elevator was decent size and fairly quick. Wifi worked well. The washer & dryer combo worked great. The master bedroom mattress sinks a little in the center but the smaller room had a nice firm mattress. The one bathroom was very large but the shower stall is tight and when turning around it is easy to hit the on/off lever handle causing the water temp to quickly change (once is enough to learn to be careful). Good quality large towels and nice bed linens were appreciated. We also changed our arrival time the day before our arrival and Eberhard responded quickly to let us know someone would be available to let us in. Easy apartment to find, right next to a Starbucks just off the plaza. Lots of good cafes & restaurants on this street.
The apartment's handover went fine and also the correspondence via email with the agency/landlord.
The location is great, very central and just 5 min walking distance to the metro or 15 min walking to the Ramblas. Several bars/restaurants are surrounding the apartment.
The apartment itself was clean but a typical Spanish standard. Poor soundproof especially from the staircases but due to the building's age. The bed was cosy but the shower curtain should be changed immediately!!! A fabric shower curtain would be more suitable and more hygienic.
Wifi worked well but the fuse blowed each time we used more than 2 stove plates.
All in all – a good choice and recommendable
Dear Eberhard and Aurelie,
many thanks for: clean and comfortable flat, support by arrival, offered service. We will recommend your flat to friends in Berlin.
Greetings from Steffen and his family
Very good apartment in super-central neighborhood. We felt safe in the building. Spacious and well equipped apartment. Cleaning OK. Beds also OK. WiFi worked well. Nice administrative person met us at check in and check out times (with keys, info). The terrace was super and sunny with nice wiew, but we really missed some better adjustable sun-chairs.
The small bathroom included in one of the bedrooms is almost useless. Smelly, and the shower started by itself at 05 in the morning one day... We did not use it. Big bathroom is very good, except from only 1 fixed big shower head (rainfall style) and not any adjustable in addition.. More lamps in the kitchen could also be arranged.
This apartment is a perfect and much more social alternative to hotel when you are more than 2 people and want some space and comfort.
Easy access to attractions, shopping and good restaurants just a few steps away.
Would like to come back and will sure recommend this apartment. :)

And then when that got old I let them go crazy with the junk drawer in the kitchen. Have at it! I said. They found all the batteries and Ivy played with a lint roller, like, all day and they discovered a stash of Culver's Scoopie coupons for free kids meals so we went there for lunch.
Right after we stopped at the library to stock up on DVDs.

A subconjunctival hemorrhage (sub-kun-JUNK-tih-vul HEM-uh-ruj) occurs when a tiny blood vessel breaks just underneath the clear surface of your eye (conjunctiva).
You may not realize you have a subconjunctival hemorrhage until you look in the mirror and find the white part of your eye is bright red.
The conjunctiva can't absorb the blood very quickly, so the blood is trapped under this transparent surface. A subconjunctival hemorrhage may worry you, but it's usually a harmless condition that disappears within one or two weeks.
Subconjunctival hemorrhage often occurs without any obvious harm to your eye, or it may be the result of a strong sneeze or cough that caused a blood vessel to break. You don't need any specific treatment for a subconjunctival hemorrhage.

on March 21, 2013 - 1:03 AM
Minutes after the Sabres' worst loss of the season, Steve Ott took a leading role in the Buffalo dressing room. He's followed that by commanding attention on the ice.
The Sabres welcome Toronto to First Niagara Center tonight with one of the NHL's prime agitators excelling in several areas. Ott has nine points in the last 10 games, is winning faceoffs at a league-leading rate and continues to infuriate opponents. It's what folks expected when the Sabres acquired Ott from Dallas for Derek Roy last summer, but it took a little while.
Ott's season turned in mid-February. After the 2-1 loss to Winnipeg on Feb. 19, a no-show debacle that cost Lindy Ruff his coaching job the next day, Ott noticed a pack of television cameras heading toward captain Jason Pominville in the neighboring stall. The forward stood up and said Pominville had spoken enough about the team's struggles. Ott said plenty of other players were responsible for the early season slide and urged those with microphones to find someone else to question.
"It was probably 15 consecutive days that the poor guy was getting hounded," Ott said Wednesday. "There's 20 guys that have accountability in this dressing room, and every single guy deserves an interview. You don't always have to go to your top leader on your team, your captain, for the simple fact we all lead in our own ways. We're all in this together."
Pominville appreciated the gesture.
"For him on that night to take my spot, it was nice of him to do that, for sure," Pominville said. "I expect I'll get asked a lot of questions. I'm not complaining about it. For me what's frustrating is when other guys aren't in the room."
Ott's been conspicuous since that day. His approach turned the spotlight on him, and it hasn't turned off. His game under interim coach Ron Rolston has a lot to do with it.
Rolston, who took over against the Maple Leafs on Feb. 21, has used Ott an average of 19:51 per night. That's a three-minute bump from the 16:49 of ice time Ott got under Ruff.
"He's earned that because he's played consistently well and done the same things, so you know what you're getting every night," Rolston said.
Ott has done more in the minutes, too. He has nine points in Rolston's 13 games after recording seven points in the opening 17 outings. Moved to the first line with Pominville and Cody Hodgson against Montreal on Tuesday, Ott responded with two goals, including the winner in overtime.
"It's a treat because those guys are so highly skilled," Ott said. "When you get those opportunities, you try to make the best of them."
Rolston has also given the left winger more responsibilities in the faceoff circle. Ott took 8.1 draws per game under Ruff and won 53.6 percent. Ott is taking 11.3 faceoffs per night under Rolston and is winning 62.7 percent.
Boston's Patrice Bergeron leads the NHL at 61.9, and Ott is tied for seventh at 58.4.
"It's just more or less of earning your keep and earning your ice time," Ott said. "We all want to go out there and perform and get the opportunities to do your certain role and excel at it."
Though Ott says he was comfortable upon his arrival in Buffalo after nine seasons in Dallas, his play and attitude suggest he's really grown into his new jersey lately.
"It's putting the sweat and tears into that thing and the battles," he said. "Until you get a mark on your jersey, you can say you haven't really earned the respect from your teammates in this dressing room or earned it from your community and your fans."
Despite their 13th place standing, Ott is not giving up on the Sabres.
"Our last game of the year, that will be the judge," Ott said. "If we're a playoff team, that's my expectations of this team. That hasn't changed. We've got some work cut out ahead of us, but by all means it's in our grasp.
"Since the changes have occurred, I think we've continued to get better. … By the end of all this stuff, if we continue to grow and continue to get better, I like the success of this team."

What is in this article?:
- Gourmet cottonseed oil market beckons for cotton industry
- Cotton a food crop
- Information on Web
- Efforts to produce flavor-infused, gourmet oils made from cottonseed may be a profit maker for cotton growers.
- Cottonseed oil was America's original vegetable oil.
More About:
Cotton acreage was down last year and will likely go down more in 2013, mostly because of a lack of profitability compared to grain crops.
Finding more profit in cotton for growers is an ongoing challenge for Tom Wedegaertner's team at Cotton Incorporated, and cooperative efforts to produce flavor-infused, gourmet oils made from cottonseed may just be the ticket.
Amid the hoopla surrounding reduced cotton acreage, global pricing instability and other such dire forecasts for cotton, a group of cotton industry leaders set out last year to demonstrate to the public a fact long known by the cotton industry — cotton is a fiber, oil and food crop.
Quirky as it may seem, the public's interest in sustainable, renewable, local and "green" products provides a timely public relations opportunity for cotton and potentially more profit for cotton growers.
To that end, a collaboration between Cotton Incorporated and Botham Brands, of Barneveld, Wisc., netted the introduction of Acala Farms Flavor-infused Cottonseed Oils.
These oils are heart-healthy, boast a high smoke/flash point, are rich in antioxidants and present intense flavor profiles.
Available in five flavors, plus Pure Cottonseed Oil, the product was launched in late August and has seen strong early success via both its online storefront at www.acala-farms.com and in a growing number of Midwest retail outlets.
A collection of these oils was taste-tested at a number of agricultural and non-ag events this past summer. The lines of people at the recent North Carolina Cotton Expo waiting to sample these new cottonseed oil products is a good indication of the acceptance of these products by consumers, says Monty Bain, Southeast Communications Manager for the Cotton Board.
Bain, along with Tom Wedegaertner, director of cottonseed marketing for Cotton Incorporated and others from the company have taste-sampled the new products at a number of events around the Southeast and the response has been uniformly good.
"The concept of making flavored cottonseed oil started with Cotton Incorporated's New York public relations department, which was looking for a way to counter criticisms that cotton uses land and water that could be dedicated to food crops," Wedegaertner says.

AstraZeneca will team up with Russia's N.N. Petrov Institute of Oncology to identify genetic mutations in cancer patients, in one of the first-ever collaborations between a global pharma giant and a Russian research institution, the partners said today.
The collaboration joins Petrov Institute's research infrastructure and scientific expertise in St. Petersburg, Russia, with AZ's global R&D effort in oncology. Investigators from Petrov Institute and AstraZeneca's Oncology Innovative Medicines group will work at centers worldwide to learn the roles genetic mutations play in the growth and spread of undisclosed types of cancer.
The partners said they hope their research will lead to development of better therapies, improvements in disease management and new approaches to personalized healthcare—identified both by AZ as a core R&D capability and by the Russian government as a priority within its Healthcare Development 2020 program.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
Oncology is one of eight core disease categories identified by AZ as areas of interest for partnerships: "Our small and large molecule research focuses on cancer of the breast, prostate, gastrointestinal tract, lung, as well as haematological malignancies, 'niche' cancers, novel technologies, and biomarkers," the company states on its website.
The Petrov Institute, which includes a 405-bed hospital, says its activities center on:
AZ has emphasized its interest in collaborating with Russian academic institutions. In November, the company announced a research collaboration with Russian partners that included establishing Russia's first biobank, with a core laboratory facility and a large national network of participating organizations committed to ethical collection and characterization of biological samples.
Russia is among nations AZ defines as emerging markets, which collectively finished the fourth quarter of last year with a 6% rise in revenue over Q4 2011, to $1.488 billion.
"The R&D eco-systems of Russia and other emerging economies such as China, Brazil, and India are becoming increasingly important sources of innovation in medical science. We believe that partnering and collaborating with biotech companies and best-in-class academic institutions like the Petrov Institute is a central element of our R&D strategy to make a significant contribution to the delivery of innovative medicines for patients, both in Russia and across the globe," Ajay Gautam, AZ's executive director, Asia and Emerging Markets R&D, said in a statement.
The research collaboration with the Petrov Institute is AZ's first to be announced since the pharma giant restructured its R&D effort last month. AZ CEO Pascal Soriot eliminated the positions of R&D president and evp, global commercial—and with them, the jobs of the men holding those positions—as part of his effort to revive AZ's R&D by using his previous experience as CEO of Roche's pharmaceutical division in integrating a biotech company and making deals.
AZ has struggled in recent years to recover from several late-stage setbacks with experimental medicines the company had counted on to make up for sales revenues set to be lost through 2014 due to the "patent cliff" expiration of several brand-name drugs.

Meg is a 1996 graduate of the Hope College Athletic Training Program. She was a member of the first class to graduate under the athletic training major. After graduating from Hope, Meg went on to earn a master's degree in athletic training at Indiana University, where she worked with the volleyball program. She completed her graduate degree and was hired as an assistant athletic trainer at Slippery Rock University. Meg joined the athletic training faculty for the first time as a Visiting Lecturer and Athletic Trainer in August, 1998. After a two-year stint at Hope she was hired as an assistant professor in the athletic training program at the University of New England. In July, 2002 Meg returned to Hope as Assistant Professor of Kinesiology and Assistant Athletic Trainer. Meg teaches courses within the athletic training major, supervises the clinical experiences of athletic training students and co-teaches a Senior Seminar with Eva Dean Folkert. She is active at the state level serving as Co-Chair of the MATS Professional Education Committee, a member of the GLATA Education Committee and an Exam Developer for the Board of Certification in Athletic Training. Meg resides with her husband, Rick, her son, Sam, and daughters Nora and Paige in Holland, MI.
A message from Meg:
"Hope College has been a part of my life now more than it's been out of it. I feel I grew as a person at Hope as a student and now as a professional in the role of assistant professor. Hope has given me some of my best friends, mentors and colleagues. I truly enjoy the profession of athletic training and cannot see myself doing much else. I enjoy working with people and my hands. Athletic training allows me to do this in unique and individual ways based on the injury or situation the athlete is presenting to me. I enjoy helping others and finding ways to help them be their best physically. Others come before you in many situations and I enjoy living my life for my students and athletes. But most importantly, Hope allows me to keep my family in focus at all times. The students and faculty are large parts of the life I live here in Holland with my husband Rick, and with my kids, Sam and Nora. Rick was a football player here and has also been impacted by the coaching staff, football team and education department in very positive ways during his time at Hope. Hope gave both of us a great education and life experiences we will never forget. We are proud of and love to talk to prospective students about coming to Hope. Let me know if I can ever answer any questions for you about the Hope experience."

A message from Dr. Brumels:
"The field of athletic training has been a great career choice for me and one that has provided me with many personal and professional benefits. I have really enjoyed the opportunities that this profession has afforded me from working as an athletic trainer at a Friday night high school football game to working on a Sunday afternoon in January of 1996 on the sidelines of Super Bowl XXXI. One of the things that I get pleasure from is that this profession allows me to perform many different responsibilities throughout my day such as providing emergency injury care, initiating treatment to facilitate the recovery, advising a patient in exercises as part of extensive injury rehabilitation, and educating patients and students to name just a few. I have been excited about this profession from the time I first came to understand its role in the allied health care community and that excitement continues to this day. I thoroughly enjoy the responsibilities of this field of study and practice as they have given me the opportunity to meet many individuals and humbly serve them with a little bit of my knowledge and skill. I absolutely love the academic material that athletic training demands from its practitioners and combining that with the psychomotor skills needed to provide health care to individuals pursuing an active lifestyle has been very gratifying.
I love Hope College. I loved it from my first day on campus as a freshman in the mid 80's to the day I graduated in 1988. I kept in touch with many individuals and the college as a whole while I was working in Boston, and was very excited about the opportunity to return to Hope College as a faculty member in 2001. My wife Stephanie and I are very happy at Hope College and love raising our children, Hunter and Rebecca in Holland, Michigan. It is an absolute pleasure to be a faculty member at Hope College and work with other colleagues to enhance the educational, social, and spiritual development of students. It makes me very happy to work in a place where I can live out my faith, have the wonderful opportunity to provide clinical care to the student-athletes at Hope College, and teach within the athletic training program and Department of Kinesiology. If you are a prospective student, I hope that we get the chance to sit together during a campus visit so that I can share my passion about Hope College and athletic training with you."

"Hope College is a great place to be! I was first drawn to the Hope College Athletic Training Program as a prospective student. I was interested in becoming actively involved in the care of high level collegiate athletes at an early stage. During my time as an athletic training student I was able to learn through a variety of hands on experiences throughout the four years.I was drawn back to Hope College's Athletic Training Program as a Certified Athletic Trainer because of those same reasons. I still enjoy being actively involved in the care of high level collegiate athletes. I now enjoy encouraging our athletic training students to learn through their many hands on experiences. I hope that each of them will grow into a successful Certified Athletic Trainer one day and say "Hope College was a great choice for me!"

You better not get caught smoking weed or drinking a beer underage here or the Scottsdale cops will have your nuts in quite a bind. A routine traffic stop in Scottsdale will usually draw the attention of 3-4 cop cars. Synonymous with douchebags and or pussies. Warning: they feel threatened easily and may shoot with the slightest of movements

At long last, Lori "Naughty" Sullivan falls in love in Always On My Mind, the new book in Bella Andre's New York Times and USA Today best-selling series about the Sullivan family.
After a tragic loss three years ago, Grayson Tyler left his life in New York City behind and started over in the rolling hills of the California coast. He's convinced himself that all he'll ever need again is the blue sky, a thousand acres of pasture, and the crashing waves of the ocean. Until one day, Lori Sullivan barges into his life and promptly blows his emotionless and solitary world to shreds, driving him crazy as only a woman nicknamed "Naughty" can. But will Lori be able to convince him that it's safe to love her...and that forever isn't actually out of reach?

I'm proud to be a bookaholic...addicted, obsessed, passionate!!! My favorite way to relax & escape reality....
"Sweet Love Story"
This is one of the better Sullivan stories. This was naughty's story and it was very delightful. Such a wonderful happily ever after!
I listen to audiobooks 8 - 12 hours every day. Since 2009 I have more than 2,100 books in my library. Romance, fantasy, nonfiction.
"Don't usually listen to contemporary romances BUT"
I listen to an audiobook every day for at least eight hours. I have a strong preference for historical romance and have enjoyed some paranormal writers but don't care much for contemporary romances or "chick-lit". Then I found the Sullivans! These stories are wonderful. Bella Andre managed to write love stories for eight siblings, each unique and entertaining. The characters are well-developed and the stories are narrated well. If you usually don't like novels written in current times I highly recommend trying this series for something different!
I have to say Bella Andre can do ROMANCE book 1 thru book 8 are GREAT a different type of romance for each brother and sister well done. Eva Kaminsky is becoming one of the best narrators. I want more please!!!!!!
Mama Liz
"love Love LOVE those Sullivans!!!"
Bella never fails to engage, captivate, and involve us in her stories. I love the Sullivan men the most but "naughty" did good for herself and true love to boot. Can't wait to see what Bella has in store for the Mother. Great story...wonderful narration. A must for your collection

"A wonderful read"
Title: Always On My Mind
Author: Bella Andre
Published: Amazon Digital Services Inc.
Reviewed By: Arlena Dean
Series: The Sullivans #8
Rating: 5
"Always On My Mind" by Bella Andre was this author's eighth in 'The Sullivan's' series. This novel was of Lori (naughty) and Grayson love story. This novel will take you through many emotional feelings where you will find yourself laughing, crying and sighing n this hot steamy read. You will definitely be kept mesmerized by all of these fascinating characters of this wonderful Sullivan family.
This author really works her magic with bringing together Lori's dancing world and Grayson the New Yorker who was now a farmer. In the end will they be the perfect couple for each other? This is where I say you must pick up "Always On My Mind" to see for yourself. Would I recommend this series? YES! This was another good Sullivan series!
"My favorite of the Sullivan Family Series"
Lori and Grayson were perfect for each other HOT HOT. Grab a blanket a glass of wine and enjoy. Bella Andre has successfully wrote a best seller again. This was my favorite Sullivan Family book, Love is always better the second time around. This Sullivan Family is pure fantasy but it inspires you to be your best whatever that maybe it's ok to step out of your comfort zone. We can all try to be the family matriarch that Mary Sullivan is. I can't wait for her Love story. Eva Kaminsky does a wonderful job narrating.
"Did I get the same book as everyone else?"
This was the worst in the series and the worst in general. I waited thinking it would be the best but I was wrong. Too predictable! Unrealistic! No imagination at all. Seriously???
"It was worth waiting for..."
I'm sure I will listen to it again at some point. When I need a soft and whimsical love story, I always turn to one of the Sullivan books.
All the moments with Mo/Sweetpea were poignant...and I love the barn dance.
I like the cadence of her reading. She is very easy to listen to.
I was waiting for "Naughty's" story...so much was hinted at in the last book and I knew that she had to have been in a bad relationship. I think the author found the perfect man for her!
"Another Great Book of the Sullivan Series!"
This was another great book written by Bella Andre. I loved the story line, I just wish it wouldn't have taken so long for Lori and Grayson to hook up together. I hope there is another book to continue on with the Sullivan series. These books are one if the first books that I started listening to and it is hard to top the Sullivan series.
easy listening...great summer read!!!
"I've Read them all or I have listened to them"
It's a beach listen...The whole series is and I enjoyed them
Any feel good story
Eva is great!
It makes you feel good all the way through
I like romance and I like happy endings....

ASUS Z87 Maximus VI Formula Review
CatZilla and Unigine Valley
Published: 4th November 2013 | Source: ASUS | Price: £227 |
Moving on to the 3D tests we know that the margins are always tiny. In general we're looking more for a potential pitfall than a sudden boost, so it's good to see that the Maximus VI Formula is second only to the MSI Gaming when it comes to CatZilla in the low resolution test, and top of the heap in the stern 1440P benchmark.
Unigine Valley
Again a mere glance down the graph would indicate that all the motherboards, even between stock and overclocked, are similar enough to not be worth worrying about. So they are, but the Formula has, by 2 tenths of a frame, got a new highscore.
Most Recent Comments
Does the Asus Maximus Formula have what it takes to tempt our purse strings?
Continue ReadingQuote
This board really looks promising. Question: What material is the integrated water block made of? Some boards with water blocks built in use aluminum, which to me is just horrendous. Can we hope that if it's not copper or nickel that it's at least brass?
It's aluminium. Asus claims the coating will pervent any corrosion but who knows.
I've been waiting to see a 'premium' board, with good PCI-E layout for SLI GPU's meaning : once PCI space to the CPU so large CPU air cooler and GPU dont almost touch, and then at least 3 units between first PCI-E slot to the next, so the a dual slot GPU can breathe, AND quality on-board sound.
I simply cannot believe how rare such a board is - nor how common it is for boards to try to accommodate 3 or 4 GPU although hardly any uses such a setup = waste.
It almost makes me sad, that I cannot justify a upgrade at this point as this would go VERY nicely with my Asus GTx780 OC DCUII, but my x58 board with a i7-950 @ 4.0 Ghz is actually still a very capable setup.Quote
Yeah it will work fine, this is just n000bs worrying about nothing tbh
I wasn't aware they "coated" it. This is an interesting take on it. I like this board, a lot.
Time to buy and delid a Haswell...Quote
Seems like a nice performer though and... less overpriced than ROG boards used to be? Quote
May i suggest a topic/focus area in the reviews on something that just hit a mate of mine really hard:
He got this mobo, + 2 Asus gtx780 Posidon's AND a ASUS RAIDR "SSD" PCIe card. Now, I'd say he has done his homework, but it turned out he missed one critical detail:
When installing two Nvidia GPU's, the last PCIe slot becomes useless. There are no more PCI lanes, as the two previous slots are using 8 each, and there is only 16 to begin with. There is nothing left, for the bottom slot. This is where the RAIDR card, his boot / OS drive, was supposed to go!
Now, this may be apperent to some of you - but unless you really educate yourself in the deepests details of PCI lanes, I have to say it's VERY easy to get this wrong.
It's "ROG" mobo - with 3 PCIe slots. It's SLI certified. What, exactly, is it - that should alert you yo the fact, that the 3 slot cannot be used if you run SLI?
It's not mentioned ANYWHERE and I do not think it's fair to say that it should be obvious to anyone.
It's not like a PSU and QUAD SLI where you can run out of power. The watt needed are clearly mentioned on cards, and the PSU's output is usually printed in big fat numbers.
Now, PCI lane count is just as important as power or physical room inside your case - but nowhere do you seem to get warned or (clearly) informed about this. It is a 'hidden' detail and with no physical manifestations.
In the review here, yes, it does get said that you will get x8, x4, x4 if using all slots. However, it does NOT say (in any clear way) that it means your 3rd physical PCIe slot is now useless if you use SLI.
With (hopefully) more SSD's taking the form of a PCIe card (and thus doing away with the stupidity of using a controller though out for mechanical/rotating discs to access NAND/flash based storage) information on this subject could be useful for many.
Or so I think :-)Quote

Life as I know it has become manifested in the dim, blinking brake lights in the distance, having left me behind.
Its this technology thing I still dont get.
Every time an IT geek tries to explain a procedure to me to post something online, or how to engage in the trolling of Twitter, I have this look on my face that goes beyond looking like a monkey doing a math problem. My eyes glaze over.
My jaw goes slack.
I think even the corner of my mouth draws up the cheek a little bit.
People look at me like Ive just had a stroke.
I dont get technology. Not even remotely. Im the guy that hasnt just fallen off the learning curve, Ive been left behind.
Im the guy that put a wash cloth over the blinking clock display light on the VCR because I didnt know how to set the time. The fact that Im using a movie playing/recording device in a technology example that hasnt been used by anyone under the age of 70 for the last 10 years should give you a good clue as to how lost I am.
I first displayed this lost expression back during my teenage years in high school when the Algebra teacher wrote an equation down on the blackboard - a blackboard is a prehistoric Tablet or iPad.
He wrote; A + B = C.
Then he turned to me and said, Find the value of C.
I looked at him and said, Mr. Clarke. I have a hard enough time spelling with these things, now you want me to add them?
Its been downhill from there ever since.
Im one of those comfortable with thinking inside the box.
Lately its been all about Twitter.
The explanation of Twitter when I asked, What is Twitter? was pretty simple.
You post on Twitter is what they call a Tweet, People then follow you and you follow them and you highlight your tweets with a hashtag (#).
And there I was thinking A + B = C again.
Im not a bird, Im a human being.
People follow you and you follow them. Im trying to imagine getting behind someone that doesnt want to be in front. Wed be walking around in circles trying to get at each others backs.
Its a lot like dancing but nobodys going anywhere.
Then I looked at what theyre calling a hashtag (#).
When I was a kid I used to play tic-tac-toe on those things. Seeing this hashtag makes me want to draw up some Xs and Os.
They even had a TV show with this thing. The hashtag was famous with Hollywood Squares long before it dominated Twitter.
The problem I see with Twitter is the manifestation of a common core problem with America today.
Everybody talks yet nobody listens.
Everybody posts on Twitter but nobody replies.
Its like politics, talk shows and even conversations on the street.
They look at you with this faraway glaze on their face. Theyre counting down, waiting for you to pause because they know you have to stop and take a breath eventually.
And as soon as you do, they pounce on your conversation thread like a Ninja warrior and go off on their own thought tangent.
No one listens.
Theyre just waiting on their turn to speak.
Pretty soon well all be sitting alone in our living rooms, staring into our communications devices and talking to no one and everyone, waiting for the reply that never comes.
I dont even watch TV anymore.
I watch my laptop.
Hey, I wonder whats on You Tube tonight?

Wednesday Random
Round 2 of A Round of Word in 80 Days starts April 2nd and I already have goals in mind. If you're interested in signing up for ROW80 the linky list can be found here.
Today I'm featured on Nutschell Windsor's blog for her Wednesday Writer's Workspace series. You can come say hi here.
Yesterday I purchased The Complete Harry Potter Collection. I read the first two books long ago. I plan on rereading them before I read the other five. It's been a good reading year for me so far and it's just gotten better.
I've had a Pinterest account for a few months and I'm finally using it. It can be addictive, but I'm being good and not going on it every single day. I'm already following a few bloggers. If you want to find me click on the link in this post or in my sidebar.
That's all for today. Who else is doing A to Z and/or ROW80?

Right to bear arms is not without limits
You often hear: "The Constitution says I have the right to own guns." Yes, it does, but having rights requires responsibility, and for some reason many gun advocates believe the right to bear arms is the only constitutional right that is virtually without limits or responsibility for the consequences of uncontrolled gun ownership.
You have the right to practice your religion, but not if it involves human sacrifice. You also have the right of freedom of speech. But you can still be prosecuted for incitement of riot or conspiracy. And you can be sued for libel. Everyone is subject to limitations when his rights become threatening to others.
The Supreme Court has affirmed that there is the individual right to gun ownership, but that the government can put reasonable restrictions on that right. Many gun owners lose their credibility when they use such terms as "looney," "idjits," "stupid," "your brain doesn't function," "you must lead a worthless, miserable life" and many others unfit to print, when they are describing those who dare to question their advocacy of their right to ownership of military weapons of the type that I was exposed to in my six years of military service.

5 Ways You Didn't Realize the English Language Is Defective
English has become the unofficial world language, which is a pity because so many things about it don't make sense. I used to be an English teacher until I served four years in Guantanamo Bay for using "there's" with a plural noun. But before that stint of "career correction," I discovered a lot of stuff that we English-speakers can learn from our other-languaged brethren -- or as my warden called them: "enemies." For example, other languages can teach us how to handle problems like ...
#5. We Have No Standard Way of Answering Negative Questions
Jupiterimages/Creatas/Getty Images
You're sitting in English-land, watching your English-speaking friend take a timid bite of a pie you baked for her because you're really proud of her English skills. "Don't you like pie?" you ask, noting that her eyes have never left your curled fist. "No," she replies. You start to sweat, because the pie is poison. But also because you're not sure you understand her response. Does your friend mean "No, I don't like your pie," or "No, I object to your assumption that I hate pie"? You have no idea if your plans to reward her with the sweet mortal release of murder pie will succeed, unless your friend chooses to elaborate. This is because negative questions in English are a black labyrinth of uncertainty, even for native speakers.
So how can this misunderstanding be fixed? Well, some languages just set down firm rules about the way to respond. In Japanese and Chinese, a negative question is always answered according to whether you're agreeing with the person who asked it. So if you hate kittens and someone asks, "Don't you want any more kittens?" your answer should be, "Yes, I don't want any more. Please stop throwing them at me." Other languages, like German and French, avoid confusion by actually inventing new answer-words that are used only to respond to negative questions. If someone asks, "Don't you want this stolen horse?" you answer with the normal word for "no" (which always means that you don't want the horse) or a special, unique word for "yes," which means that you do want it.

"Yeah, he's ripe. I'll take him. He'll make a wonderful horse salad."
How Other Languages Solve It:
In the past, English had a system similar to French and German. The word "yes" was mostly used to give a positive answer to negative questions, while "yea" was used for positive questions. But it's hard to say "yea" without feeling like you should be dressed in burlap and covered in pig shit, so clearly the solution is to invent a new word that answers a negative question positively. And since this is the Internet, I propose "crotchdick."

They're already one step ahead of me.
#4. Our Language Is Full of Confusing Science Words
Chad Baker/Jason Reed/Ryan McVay/Photodisc/Getty
What's the word for "something that relates to horses"? In a just and fair world, you'd expect it to be something like "horse-esque" or "horsetastic." But in our iniquitous English-speaking world, the word is "equine." This tendency pops up all over the place: Something that relates to whales is "cetacean"; something that relates to trees is "arboreal." It's like a magical secret wizard language, except without all the awesome ensuing fireballs.
This linguistic chaos came about because for much of our language's history, people thought that Germanic languages like English were for peasants. And they were kind of right: After the Norman invasion of England in the 11th century, the upper classes tended to speak French or Latin, while the people shoveling their poop spoke English. When the Enlightenment happened and people needed to invent new words to describe this new "science" thing, the English-haters chose to borrow from respectable classical languages like Latin and Greek, rather than working with the poop-shoveling language that they already had. The Germanic word "horse" was OK in everyday speech, but if you wanted to describe a horse in the science book you were writing in your poop-free office, you used a word derived from the Latin word for horse, "equus."

"Please send help. I've been stolen. Yes, I talk -- just go get help!"
Today, English-speaking sick people must lie in hospital beds figuring out what their doctors mean when they say "coronary angioplasty," and "phalloplasty," and it's all because random dudes in the past were too fancy to let us call it "heart-artery widening" and "penis embiggening."
How Other Languages Solve It:
English-speakers might accept this scientific wizardry-language as being completely normal, but a lot of languages around the world have chosen the revolutionary tactic of using their own language for science words. In Mandarin Chinese, "horse" is "ma" and "equine" is still "ma." If you want to say "equine" in German, you usually just stick the word for "horses" (Pferde) in front of the noun you're talking about. Which is why you find that word in so many German porn titles.
So why hasn't anyone tried to fix this historical form of anti-English-language racism? Well, they have: It's known as the Anglish movement, and since the 19th century it has tried to build a form of English that can discuss science or technology without relying on Latin or Greek roots. The result has been a flowering of fake science texts that sound like they were written by Vikings:

Never so much has physics made us want to raid the northern coast of Ireland.
#3. We Have No Singular Gender-Neutral Pronoun
BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images
English lacks a gender-neutral word that refers to a single person, and this causes no end of problems for writers and college students everywhere. If you say "every person should hunt and kill his own food" you're being sexist, because you're implying that female people don't exist, or that they're incapable of killing animals like normal human beings.
People sometimes get around this by using "they," as in "every person should hunt and kill their own food," but some grammar professionals consider this unacceptable, because "they" is technically a plural word and people who refer to themselves as "grammar professionals" are typically assholes.
Creatas/Creatas/Getty Images
Please save all slapping for after the review.
How Other Languages Solve It:
Not every language is so mired in a choice between sexism and awkward wording. Some languages, like Indonesian and Persian, don't distinguish between "he" and "she" at all, and others (like Chinese) began to use gender-specific versions only after they started translating a lot of European writing. The Swedish simply invented their own word that meant "he or she" and ran with it. People have tried this trick with English as well, inventing gender-neutral pronouns like "xe" and "zie," but none of them ever really caught on, probably because most English-speakers don't like sounding like they're in a cyberpunk novel from 1988.
The irony is that this was actually solved as far back as the 14th century by using our now-incorrect "they" to mean "he or she." Chaucer and Shakespeare both used it, and it was only in the 18th century that a grammarian named Anne "Fuck Shakespeare" Fisher kicked off the anti-they trend and declared it improper.

Cheer on the Edgewood College Eagles!
Edgewood College sponsors 15 NCAA Division III men's and women's sports.
Students who live on campus are more likely to be involved on campus and graduate in four years. Living on campus means: Being within a 5 minute walk to class; taking more classes and getting better grades; having an instant community of friends!
One of the things I enjoy most about being an admissions counselor at Edgewood College is that I get to share all of the amazing experiences I had when I was a student here with prospective students. One particularly impactful experience I had was getting to play on the soccer team. Having the opportunity continue playing the sport I love at a competitive level was incredible. Beyond being an absolute blast and getting to say I was an NCAA athlete, it was a great way to stay in shape, hone in on some invaluable life-skills, and make lifelong friends I still keep in touch with today.
I was a Biology major, so I definitely found a lot of value in my participation at "Edgewood Engaged," an annual research and creative inquiry symposium where students can showcase the research and/or creative projects they've been working on. With the guidance of my professors, I conducted research on two different projects related to medical science in my time as an undergrad, starting the summer before my sophomore year. I was fortunate enough to get to present my work both locally and nationally. This gave me the first-hand experience to connect my learning, beliefs, and actions, offering a perspective that has really helped me in life after college.
Between the many outdoor recreational activities like biking and sailing, a widespread appreciation for music and art, the abundance of amazing cuisine, and the eclectic culture of the city as a whole, I feel like I can always find something to do. My favorite thing to do though would be checking out the live music scene. I'm a big fan of pretty much all kinds of music, and Madison always delivers with some great shows. We frequently have famous musicians perform at one of the many awesome venues downtown, and there's actually some great local talent to check out at a coffee shop or the Capitol Square as well.
I never thought I would say this growing up, but I love to travel. I think this change of heart all stemmed from my experience studying abroad at Edgewood, where I was lucky enough to spend about two weeks in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. It was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I don't think would have been possible without the careful and ambitious planning of my professors, who accompanied me and my classmates on the trip. During this trip we snorkeled with penguins, sea turtles, and tropical fish on a daily basis, hiked through rainforests and up a dormant volcano, and had plenty of time to explore Quito, Ecuador's capital city. Ever since that trip to the Galapagos, I've really caught the travel bug. In the past couple of years, I've traveled to London, Paris, New York City, Yellowstone, and New Orleans, and I have plans to make trips to Boston, California, and China in the near future.
My most memorable experience at Edgewood was my freshman year when I traveled with the volleyball team to St. Louis for our very first NCAA tournament appearance in school history. Being involved with athletics during my time at Edgewood gave me a sense of community outside the classroom. I made friends that will last a lifetime, and memories that will last even longer!
My favorite building on campus is The Stream. There are huge windows that overlook the lake and let in so much natural light, it makes it the perfect spot to study or eat lunch! My favorite event here on campus is definitely Admitted Student Day. Students are actually able to come and attend classes for a day. It's a great way for students to see what a "day in the life" of an Edgewood College student is like.
My favorite activity here in Madison is to run, bike, or walk through Picnic Point on Lake Mendota. It's a trail that leads through the woods and has small fire pit areas for people to enjoy. Enjoying the trail during the winter season is my favorite, you're able to walk directly out onto the frozen lake.
My sister, mother, and two of my Aunts attended Edgewood College as well. You could say it's a family thing!

I was reminded just how contagious laughter can be last weekend while I was driving along listening to the radio. The show was funny, but the guffaws and giggles were just as good. I laughed right along, alone in my car.
This got me thinking about people and their laughing styles. I could line up all my relatives and label them by their laughs. There's the one with the explosive laugh that rattles windows. There's the one whose much quieter laughs make her stomach jiggle. Then there's the one who, when she really cracks up, stamps her foot up and down.
The latter is the girl who, at the hysterical age of 5, said, "Laughing is like having your feelings tickled."
We all know people with distinctive laughs. We have a friend now living in Florida we rarely see anymore. But I know I would recognize his loud, uplifting laugh anywhere – even in a busy airport.
There are people whose laughs we may find annoying and others that are simply unique. High-pitched. Boisterous. Cackling. Chortling. Broken up by snorts. Or, as Mary Poppins pointed out, some people laugh through their noses, some people laugh through their teeth.
And let's not overlook the giggle-laugh, the silent laugh and the unstoppable laugh.
Years ago, I had a housemate who, while reading Dave Barry's column in the newspaper on a Sunday morning, would be laughing so hard in the other room I'd have to go check on her. This would make her laugh even more. Then I would start laughing. We acted like 12-year-olds.
This housemate is also a cousin, and early on I pegged her as having a laughing problem. We all know that a good laugh is good for us, but it also can land us in a heap of trouble. As kids, this cousin of mine would burst into uncontrollable laughter at the dinner table and attempt to remedy the situation by drinking her milk. This, of course, ended in a big mess.
I also learned not to sit near her at events at which we were supposed to use our "quiet voices." A solemn church service, for example.
Years later, as young adults, I remember her laughing so hard in a quiet, darkened movie theater that she rocked our entire row of seats. She covered her face with her coat but still couldn't compose herself until after the movie had started.
I'm one to talk. Recently, after realizing I had placed my coffee order into the garbage can instead of the drive-thru speaker near it, I lost it. I could barely speak, in part because I knew I had made the same mistake before.
To a parent, kids' laughs are the best, of course – at any age. Whenever our daughter really gets on a roll, the dog comes galloping in to check out the performance. Nudging her with his wet nose only gets her laughing more.
And, yes, that is a big smile on his face.

A school in the middle of nowhere, but it's still pretty kick-ass. It has basically the best marching band anywhere, it's kind of a big deal, & it makes up for the shitty football. Not really a big party school, but definitely a big sit-in-your-room-on-a-weeknight-drinking-with-your-lame-ass-friends school. It rains practically everyday and it's way too cold. But you can't help but love it!

College in bumfuck nowhere of western north carolina. Easy as fuck to get into and cheap. Activities for first year freshmen includes drug overdoseing, alcohol poisoning, and general getting busted. The first year away from home means they go crazy with the new freedom and next thing you know their stomach is geting pumped. This is why the EMS trucks and cop cars are outside the freshmen dorms 5 nights a week minimum.
Typical Night at Western Carolina University:
Upperclassman Catamount: "There goes EMS."

Because silk is such a fine fabric,it is generally measured by "momme weight" instead of thread count.Momme(pronounced "mummy")is a unit of weight used to measure and describe silk fabrics, usually expressed in momme weight (mm). The higher the momme, the heavier the fabric.GSM refers to grams per square meter of fabric.It is the major computation unit for fabric texture. 1mm=4.3g. Silk under 19 MM (10mm~16mm) is considered light weight, 19 MM is considered medium weight and anything above(22mm~40mm) that is considered heavy weight, You can calculate that if a 16 mm silk charmeuse sells for $30.00 it would stand to reason that a 30mm would be more expensive and so on. The higher the weight in mommes, the more durable the weave, and the more suitable it is for heavy-duty use.
