The Your Caribbean Heritage project team are researching and cataloguing Colonial Office records relating to the British Caribbean. The project is new and so far has focused on cataloguing records relating to Bermuda, Grenada, St. Lucia, and Jamaica. We have found a wealth of interesting and diverse documents, and wish to share our findings and explore some of the themes found within them through a workshop. With a maximum of 30 places, the workshop will be a discussion-lead work in progress of interest to anyone who wants to find out more about Caribbean history. No previous knowledge of the subject is required.
The first part of the workshop will provide an overview of The National Archive's holdings which relate to the British Caribbean. We will then take a closer look at some of the records from Bermuda, Jamaica, Grenada and St. Lucia. The discussion will focus on mental health issues raised in the records. During the last hour of the workshop we will simultaneously run three smaller sessions [of 10 people per session] which will be looking at: issues of 'race' in Bermuda, Indian migration and 'indentured labour' in Grenada and St. Lucia, and Maroon communities in Jamaica.
If you would like to attend this workshop, please telephone 0208 392 5330 ext. 5202 or complete the booking form online by going to www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/events

My first-grader great-grandson Noah is writing a book. The title is "Autumn," and the first page announces that "Autumn has vary old leaves." This sentiment is suitably illustrated, and makes me anxious to see what is to come whenever the mood for page 2 strikes him.
I think this is a wonderfully evocative statement, and the least I can do is to expand on the topic while I wait for more from Noah.
The leaves of autumn are certainly very old, and every day the drifts under the trees grow larger and the sunlight shines through bare branches and glitters on the yellow, orange, red and brown heaped on the ground.
Fun for children, a nuisance to street cleaners, work for homeowners, fodder for compost makers, collection material for Science 101, artifacts for the flower arranger, a delight to the discriminating eye, but what are they really?
My dictionary tells me a leaf is "a usually green, flattened structure of vascular plants, characteristically consisting of a bladelike expansion attached to a stem, and functioning as principal organ of transpiration and photosynthesis." Any botany reference book will go much further and include such terms as chlorophyll, stomata, chloroplast, petiole and lamina.
Most plants do have leaves, in unimaginable variety, but for now let's limit this to tree leaves, as that is what Noah has on his mind.
Fact Box
Janet Del Turco is a local gardener and a graduate of the Ohio State University Master Gardener program.
Contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Each leaf on a tree works to convert the energy of the sun, the carbon dioxide in the air and the minerals and water of the earth into carbohydrates, food for the plant. This process of photosynthesis happens as sunlight shines through the top surface of the leaf and is trapped in the chloroplasts below.
Here, the light energy is changed into chemical energy and is used to convert carbon dioxide from the air into sugar. Tubes in the tree then carry this sugar to the roots, branches and fruits.
Leaves have three main parts: the lamina or leaf blade, which is the wide part, a base at the point where it joins the stem, and a stalk or petiole that connects one to the other. The lamina is the most noticeable part, and this is one important feature for tree identification in most months of the year.
Leaves come in many shapes - simple, which has a single leaf shape, or compound, which has more than one blade. In both types there is a single leaf stem attached to a twig. They are arranged on the stem either alternately, where they are staggered, or opposite, where they are directly across from one another. The edge of the leaf may be entire, lobed or toothed.
While evergreen trees keep individual needles or leaf structures for two or three years, deciduous trees produce new leaves in the spring and hold onto them through the summer until the green coloration disappears, and the basic yellow or orange of the leaf is revealed.
The beautiful red color some species show is anthyocin, which adds so much beauty to the fall display.
As the days get shorter, the tree does not receive enough sunlight for photosynthesis and so it shuts down production and allows the leaves to die and drop.
So there we have it, Noah. Those beautiful autumn leaves have lived useful lives, and once they have completed their work, they fall and eventually decompose into the earth to nourish the ground and bring life to a new generation of leaves.

KSEB's Standardisation Plan Delays Metering
By Meera Manu - THIRUVANANTHAPURAM
Published: 04th January 2014 09:49 AM
Last Updated: 04th January 2014 09:49 AM
The capital city needs to wait longer for automatic streetlight control to materialise, with the metering system yet to be put in place. The Kerala State Electricity Board's (KSEB) decision to create a common platform across the state for metering is delaying the project.
During last year, KSEB had planned to complete the first phase by mid-November in five sections: Puthenchantha, Fort, Vellayambalam, Poojappura and Manacaud. Accordingly, 454 meters had to be installed. The initial announcement was that the entire works in Thiruvananthapuram would be over by December.
"The Electricity Board is introducing a common specification to be put in practice across the state for streetlight metering. Hence, based on those technical specifications, the contractors can manufacture the meters. Tentatively, by March this year, the work related to it would begin," said a senior KSEB official. Here, a Hyderabad-based firm, Intemo Systems, was given the order to manufacture the meters for phase one. This has been put on hold for now.
An amount of Rs 1.20 crore was deposited by the City Corporation with the KSEB for carrying out the metering in the area coming under it. Metering can bring down the power bill considerably as energy usage will be calculated on the consumption level, instead of on the burning hours that is in practice now. It is when the defunct lamps are also measured on burning hours that the loss happens.
Between 20 and 30 lamps can be brought under a single streetlight control mechanism. Other than the five KSEB sections mentioned above, 741 more locations come under the Thiruvananthapuram division. Earlier, the City Corporation had demanded that the streetlight metering should be done first, as it had already paid the money for that, and then start the repair works on the faulty lights. But when protest mounted from various corners the civic body had to budge and it has now given the task of streetlight maintenance to private contractors based on the KSEB sections, but some areas are yet to get takers.

Let's take a look beyond the stereotypes…
I'm sure you've all heard about Romania – The Land of Dracula. But it's more to this country than some legends with vampires written by English authors.
The capital of Romania, Bucharest, has been named one of the coolest cities in Europe by a French website. It might sound surprising to you, as Romania has escaped communism only 22 years ago, but "Little Paris" can be one of the best places to party till dawn, take long walks across the river Dambovita, meet beautiful women or wander the streets in the Old Centre.
To find great holiday packages, travel deals and local information on Bucharest, visit http://yabbedoo.com/visit-bucharest
The French website Slate stated that Bucharest is the second coolest city in Europe, after Vienna. They reached this conclusion based on the night life, beer prices and the number of students located there.
The legends say that the city has been named after a shepherd called Dambovita Bucur, which literarily means joy. And let's face it – that's a good explanation for the Romanians' good spirit and love for life.
What to visit
In 1900, Bucharest earned the nickname of "Little Paris" because of its glorious Belle Époque buildings, tree-lined boulevards and the high life. At that time, Bucharest was a beautiful place to be in – the streets were packed with elegant people, artists, musicians, painters and writers.
Nowadays the city is a bustling metropolis, very urban and modern, although you can still see the scars left by the communist era and its leader – Nicolae Ceausescu.
But if you ever get the chance to visit this contradictory city bursting with history and diversity, don't miss:
– House of the Free Press – The building was completed in 1956, one year after the strikingly similar Palace of Science and Culture in Warsaw, Poland.
– The Arch of Triumph – This objective was initially built of wood, in 1922, to honour the bravery of Romanian soldiers who fought in World War I. Only in 1936 the granite Arch de Triumph was finished. An interior staircase allows visitors to climb to the top for a panoramic view of the city.
– Victory Avenue – The oldest and most charming street in Bucharest was built in 1692 to link the Old Princely Court to Mogosoaia Palace. After the Romanian War of Independence victory, it became known as Calea Victoriei.
At this time, it was one of the most fashionable streets in the city and if you strolled along, you could discover some of the most stunning buildings in the city – the Cantacuzino Palace, the historical Revolution Square, the Military Club, the CEC Headquarters and the National History Museum.
– Revolution Square – This is the place were communism in Romania came to an end. The square became known around the globe when TV stations broadcasted Nicolae Ceausescu final moments, on December 21, 1989.
However, you should know that the square's importance goes back long before the dramatic events of the 1989 Revolution.
On the light side of the square stands the former Royal Palace, now home to the National Art Museum, the stunning Romanian Athenaeum and the historic Athenee Palace Hotel. At the south end of the square, you can visit the small, but beautiful, Kretzulescu Church.
Moreover, like you all imagined, Bucharest has an important communist legacy – Parliament House and Civic Center.
– Formerly known as the People's Palace, the Parliament Palace is the second largest administrative building in the world after the Pentagon.
The building boasts 12 stories, 1100 rooms, a 328-ft-long lobby and four underground levels, including an enormous nuclear bunker.
A guided tour takes visitors through dazzling rooms, huge halls and they get to see the work of the country's best Artisans.
Today, the building serves as an International Conference Centre and it houses Romania's Parliament.
Some interesting facts about this magnificent construction are that the Crystal Chandelier in the Human Rights Hall weights 2.5 tons and some of the other chandeliers have 7000 bulbs.
Loving nature
If you are not into historical buildings, Bucharest has some wonderful parks and gardens where you can walk, relax and enjoy the nature.
For example, Cismigiu Garden, oldest park in Bucharest, was opened to the public in 1860, after it was designed in 1845 by the German landscape architect Carl Meyer.
Here you will have the opportunity to see more than 30,000 trees and plants, which were brought from the Romanian mountains, while exotic plants were imported from the botanical gardens in Vienna.
Another great attraction is the Botanical Garden, opened in 1891. This amazing place features over 5,000 varieties of plants from Romania and around the world.
Also people from Bucharest can be proud of another wonderful place – Herastrau Park. Spread over 400 acres, the park hosts numerous attractions, including a boat rental complex, tennis courts and a variety of restaurants on the lake.
Where to have fun
As I said in the beginning, Bucharest was voted one of the coolest cities in Europe. And that's because people here know how to have fun and they don't need much money to do so.
Beer is very cheap, less than £1, and the food is amazing. Romanians are known worldwide for their great and tasty food and if you visit Bucharest you should definitely try some traditional courses. We recommend you the Beer Cart Restaurant, opened since 1879.
If you want to party you should definitely go to Lipscani District. In this area you will discover the city's unique charm – pubs, restaurants, clubs and a diversity of young people. This part of the city is always alive, both nights and days.
Back in the day, Lipscani was a residential area and a place where you could find all kinds of artists and writers. Today, the old city center is very modern, but if you look carefully, you can still find Antiques shops and a mix of cultures in the architectural styles, from baroque and neoclassical to art nouveau.
In Bucharest you can experience amazing parties and clubs – from Drum&Bass to rock, disco or commercial. If you want to start your journey to party land, you should begin at University Square – one of the most popular meeting places in Bucharest.
This is also known as the Ground Zero, the place where you'll find a monument built in the honour of those who lost their lives in December '89.
The tube and the buses should take you anywhere you want and if you ever find yourself lost, don't be shy to ask for directions, people in Bucharest are pretty sociable and nice.
If you want to learn more about Romania and Bucharest, there is a large variety of museums you can visit: Art Collections Museum, Bucharest History & Art Museum, Cotroceni Palace & Museum, George Enescu Museum, Gregory Antipa Natural History Museum, Museum of the Romanian Peasant, National Art Museum National, Geological Museum, National Museum of Contemporary or the Art Village Museum.
The downsides
Like any other city in the world, Bucharest is not only milk and honey. First of all, you should be careful with taxi drivers, who can easily fool you, especially if you don't know the city.
Then, there are a lot of stray dogs on the streets – most of them are innocent, but this doesn't mean you shouldn't look out for yourself. And keep your eyes wide open for one of the most insane car traffic in Europe.
Bucharest is indeed very cool and colourful, but it lacks the tidiness and the discipline of the Western German cities, as people still choose to remain indifferent to the bins on the streets, the beggars on every corner or the antique buildings on the edge of collapse.
In this city you will find a mixture of good and bad, colour and noir, old and new, high class and poverty, that will amaze you, especially when you see all of these extremes combing so awkwardly well.
There's a say that Bucharest has grown into a city of contrasts, that is probably why you only have two choices when it comes to it – love it or not.

Have a good day girls.
Weekly Chat 12/30-1/6
Tammy + Dusty = Imoen (Class of 2028) and Lucy (Class of 2029)
Save $$ w/ Coupon Newbies
My diaper shopping is done. Well it was done at noon today, but I am just finally sitting down. Chased my niece around today, she had a ball at the kids museum. I however am on the decline of my hormones or something because I wanted nothing more than to sleep. And she was getting on my last nerve today. Did more aveeno, I think I should have enough aveeno to last a few years at this point. My sis bought me some cellophane and ribbon to do some last minute gifts, and I am sooooo looking forward to a new year with new resolutions to break.
Tammy--- super cute family you have there, love the vacation pics.
Alyssa- Monsters Inc 2 is coming out in the summer. Pixar tried to move up production to 1.5 movies a year but rumor has it, the "mothership" (aka Disney) shut them down. So they had layoffs this year, and now are back down to 1 movie a year. 1 of my friends interned for them over the summer.
Moe- Whatever sleep method you did, I need that! Not just for my future kid, but for me. I have been a horrible sleeper my entire life. I have the exhaust myself to sleep. Surprisingly I slept more after SO and I got together than before. Hmm... LOL. But its true what they say about your parents preparing you for life. My parents failed to sleep train me, so now I sleep random hours LOL. j/k, I am just a bad sleeper. At least I know who to go to for sleep training advice. However, isn't psychologically smart to have your child attached to something? I feel like that becomes a really bad crutch. Thats my mom's reasoning for not letting us use pacifiers or have toys in bed as a kid.
Steph, it takes time and a lot of focus I feel like, you will get there. What size diapers does your LO wear at night?
Video games seem to become an addiction really quickly with some of my friends husbands. One of them actually had to go to therapy and they don't allow games in the house for that reason, he would play for days without stopping and it became a huge problem. Thank goodness my SO doesn't do games. I am too much of a social butterfly to be with a shut in video game addict.
Lobster... I love. Sushi, I love even more. I have never gotten sick from either one of those. I am a professed foodie, I even belong to a foodie group that meets once a month to eat fabulous foods. 2 of my girlfriends are big foodies too, so we try to get together once a week to eat. It's awesome. I can't eat the same thing twice in a row though. I get sick of it now that I have been exposed to the finer things in life.
New years resolution: try and not break the 10 resolutions I have.
Merry New Years to all you fabulous ladies. I know some of you are already getting ready for the count down. Alyssa is probably asleep. I am looking forward to a new year of fun, amazing deals and hopefully some new couponing board babies!
Mallory wear pull ups at night.. She in 3t in pull ups to 4t here soon. She is potty trained during the day.
She is tube feed at night so she wear pull ups for protection at night.
It midnight yet.. I am about go to bed myself.. I am organizing my coupons which i need to cut them out for tomorrow. I got get my grocery shopping done tomorrow. If I have money left over I thinking of doing the cvs deal on the pg savers to get more ecbs. But want can I do.I only got 5 pgs savers..
Trent 14 year old Alex 12 year old Mallory 7 year old. All three with special needs and medical issues.

JACKSON, MI – The enormous potholes wreaking havoc on Jackson roads has the Jackson Area Transportation Authority cutting off certain routes and taking detours to reach stops that are navigable.
Effective immediately, there is no service to The Oaks Apartment complex, 1300 W. Tanbark Lane, and Washington Way Recovery Center, 2424 W. Washington Ave.
Residents living in the Commons Apartment complex might be able to catch a ride if they can hail down a JATA bus on Main Street. There is not a sign here for drivers to stop, so residents must signal the driver to stop.
"One of our vehicles actually bottomed out," said Dave Vassal from the JATA of driving the route. "The potholes are terrible."
He does not know when the route will return to its regular path but said it depends on the status of the roads. The Jackson County Department of Transportation was not immediately available for comment.
The Blackman/Summit route detour:
Starting at Laurence Avenue, the bus will turn right onto W. Michigan Avenue instead of turning left. The route will then turn left on Oak Grove, right on Main Street and left on Robinson Road to complete the route.

Two types of renal tumors (juxtaglomerular cell1-7 and Wilm8,9) have been reported as curable forms of hypertension associated with overproduction of renin by the tumor. Patients with this disorder have had a syndrome of severe hypertension, hypokalemia, increased peripheral vein renin activity, and secondary aldosteronism, all of which disappear following removal of the tumor.
To our knowledge, this report describes the first case of hypertension associated with renin production by a clear cell carcinoma of the kidney that was cured after nephrectomy. Furthermore, the characteristic findings in previously reported renin-secreting tumors of severe hypertension, hypokalemia, elevated plasma renin activity (PRA), and secondary aldosteronism were not present.
A 29-year-old woman was referred to Vanderbilt University Hospital with the provisional diagnosis of Cushing syndrome, because of a two-year history of hypertension, obesity, and hirsutism. Her menses were regular from age 12 years until one year prior to admission

No Guarantees: Lessons from the Property Rights Gained and Lost by Married Women in Two American Colonies
Yvette Joy Liebesman
Saint Louis University - School of Law
27 Women's Rts. L. Rep. 181 (2006)
While our own history demonstrates long-term forward progress and expansion of women's rights, it is also marked with periods of back-treading, and there is no absolute assurance that the rights women in the United States enjoy today will be present in the future. Rights of property, suffrage, and liberty are not guaranteed to last forever, and not just in places such as Iran and Afghanistan. Indeed, we are only a few generations removed from circumstances in which our own freedom was sharply curtailed, and they are under a continuing threat.

One of the great things about working in the Expert edit mode is that it's so easy to change your mind about the edits that you're applying to a photo. The most direct way to change your mind is to use the Undo and Redo features, which are located down here in the taskbar. Right now neither Undo or Redo is available, because I haven't done anything to this image. So let me go ahead and do something. I'm going to try to desaturate the intense red color in the parrot's eye. I select the Sponge Tool here in the toolbar. Down in the tool options bar you can see that by default this tool is set to Desaturate.
I'll move my cursor over the image, and I'm just going to click-and-drag over the eye to take a little bit of the intense color out of the eye. Now let's say I really don't like that; I want to undo what I've done with the Sponge tool. I'll come to the taskbar and now the Undo button is available. So I'll click Undo, and I get this little label telling me that I'm undoing the Sponge Tool, and I'm back to where I started. Well, I have the prerogative to change my mind again. I'd like to redo that action. I'd like to bring the Sponge tool back.
So I'll go down to the taskbar and I see that Redo is available. So I will click Redo, and this label tells me that I'm redoing the Sponge tool. So Undo and Redo can be very useful when you just want to step back or forward a few steps. But when you've done a lot of things to an image, I think it is helpful to be able to see a record of all of the actions that you've taken as you move backward and forward in your edits; and to do that I'm going to open the History panel. I'll go up to the Window menu at the top of the screen and I'll choose History.
That opens this floating group of panels with the History panel at the forefront. I can move the floating group wherever I want it. I'll put it up high so that I can lengthen it by clicking on the bottom of the panel and dragging down. The reason I'm lengthening the panel is that I'm going to do some more things to this image. And with each action I take, the History panel is going to record what I'm doing as a bar or a state in the History panel. By default, the History panel will record up to 50 different states; so let's go ahead and do some more things to this image.
In the options for the Sponge tool I see that there are two related tools--the Dodge tool and the Burn tool. These tools also use to lighten and darken small areas of the photo respectively. I'll start with the Dodge tool, and I'm going to come into the image and try to lighten some of the feathers here. Then I'll go to the Burn tool, and with that tool I'm going to try to darken this area at the bottom right where there is a little bit too much white. Each time I release my mouse and drag with this tool, I'm creating another state over here in the History panel.
The beauty of the History panel is that I can now come into the History panel and click on any of these bars to return the image to that previous state. So if I back up just one step, I'm removing just a little bit of the Burn tool. But I could back up all the way to this step and I'd be back where I was just after I'd applied the Sponge tool. I can go back in the other direction, redoing the actions that I've applied to this image. So you can see that the History panel can be very useful, but do keep in mind that it has two limitations.
For one thing, let's say I back up to just after I applied the Dodge tool and I do something else to the image. Maybe I'll take the Sponge tool again and try to desaturate the beak a bit. Now when I come back to the History panel, I've lost the burn states that came after the Dodge tool. And this is because the History panel can only keep track of one line of history. You can't back up and then go off in another direction and expect the History panel to keep track of both branches of your history. Another limitation of the History panel is that if I close this image, or even if I save and then close the image, the history will no longer be there if I reopen the image.
The history is only good during this particular editing session. It's not saved with the image. Now let's say that I do save the image at this point, I'll go up to the File menu, and I'll choose Save. I'm not interested in including the image in the Elements Organizer. I'll just click Save here and click OK. Then I'll click OK again. And I'm going to do some more things to the image. I'm going to get the Dodge tool and I'm going to try to brighten the eye a little bit, and maybe I'll brighten the nose here as well.
I'll brighten the beak while I'm at it. So now I've added a few more states with the Dodge tool. Let's say that I want to go back to the way that the image was originally. To do that I can go up to the top of the History panel and click on this snapshot of the image here, and that takes me all the way back to the beginning, as the image was when I opened it. And I still have the freedom to come back into the History panel and click on any one of these items to return the image to the corresponding state. Now one more thing. If I want to return the image to the way it was when I last saved it--not the way it was when I started out--then I can go to the Edit menu and choose Revert, and that takes me back to that particular state of my image editing.
So those are several different ways that you can go forward and backward, changing your mind as you edit an image in the Expert edit workspace.
- Arranging the panels and interface
- Cropping and resizing photos
- Creating new layers
- Refining selections
- Hiding content with a layer mask
- Using adjustment layers
- Correcting color, lighting, and contrast
- Converting a color photo to black and white
- Creating a panorama from multiple photos
- Retouching blemishes and wrinkles
- Making adjustments in Camera Raw

Weis in Lititz closer to selling beer
Borough Council approves liquor license transfer
Published 8:56 AM EST Feb 27, 2013
The Weis market in Lititz is a step closer to being allowed to sell beer.
Borough council gave the OK Tuesday night for the transfer of a liquor license.
The grocery store must now satisfy state Liquor Control Board guidelines, including creating a separate area for the beer sales.
Weis officials said most of the required renovations are already complete so beer could be sold in the store before the end of the year.

Very nice apartment, fully equipped with kitchen, dish washer, washing machine, 2 bedrooms,...
Perfect location - very close the cathedral San Se.
On the ground floor is a small bar, very good for a final beer or something to eat.
Very good, reliable service from the team.
Thank you very much!!!
The flat is very well located, new and comfortable. It has wonderful views and it is very well equipped.
By the other hand we had some issues inside. There was an unpleasant smell of drains all the time and a leak occurer in a bedroom due to rain. The water soaked two beds :(
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Nice house close to city centre. Need more warmers at wintertime
What a fantastic apartment! Wonderful location, incredibly friendly & helpful introduction to Lisbon upon arrival, very clean and well equipped, and beautiful views across the river and city! Everything is within easy walking distance, and Lisbon is super authentic. The small bar on the ground floor is a gem...we can't wait to come back!! Thank you very much to our hosts!
Apartment very well placed to visit Lisbon.
Great neighborhood.
The terrace is actually a large balcony which is still well appreciated.
Some stemware (5 to 8 people) and a second sofa for everyone to sit would be really good.
Appartement très bien placé pour visiter Lisbonne.
Quartier génial.
La terrasse est en fait un grand balcon qui est quand même bien appréciable.
Quelques verres à pied en plus (5 pour 8 pers ) et un 2ème canapé permettant à tout le monde de s'assoir seraient vraiment bien.
The apartment is quite spacious, comfortable, well equipped and modern decor.
It has a great location next to Los Jeronimos, and opposite the park. Well connected.
Marta greeted us very friendly and lots of information about Lisbon.
It's great to have access in the apartment.
It is above the restaurants, making it among smell of food in the apartment.
They should review the master bathroom cistern that loses water and is noisy and the door of one of the bedrooms that do not close properly.
Sheets on one of the beds, washed but with unsightly stains, the rest of the apartment was clean.
It is a third party without elevator.
We were comfortable, but there are small details that can improve.
El apartamento es bastante amplio, cómodo, bien equipado y con moderna decoración.
Tiene una excelente ubicación junto a Los Jerónimos, y frente al parque. Bien comunicado.
Nos recibió Marta, muy amable y con muchísima información sobre Lisboa.
Es estupendo disponer de Wifi en el apartamento.
Está encima de los restaurantes, lo que hace que entre olor a comida en el apartamento.
Deberían de revisar la cisterna del baño principal que pierde agua y hace mucho ruido, así como la puerta de uno de los dormitorios que no cierra bien.
Sábanas de una de las camas, lavadas pero con manchas desagradables, el resto del apartamento estaba limpio.
Es un tercero sin ascensor.
Estuvimos a gusto, pero hay pequeños detalles que hay que se pueden mejorar.
The house in the old center of Lisbon was very individual and schön.allerdings we had 10 people for a coffee for two and 7 tassen.alle cutter stumpf.in kitchen and upper bedroom were living ants (in bed) .Unfortunately was the shower curtain in the basement verschimmelt.ansonsten everything was fine and the location of the house is great.
Das haus im alten kern von lissabon war sehr individuell und schön.allerdings hatten wir für 10 leute eine Kaffeemaschine für zwei personen und 7 tassen.alle schneidemesser waren stumpf.in küche und oberem schlafraum lebten ameisen (auch im Bett).leider war der duschvorhang im untergeschoss verschimmelt.ansonsten war alles prima und die lage des hauses ist grossartig.
very good location and cool appart, very good welcome by the owner's friend.
could be a bit noisy if the neighbors are not friendly, the wall seems very thin between the apparts...we were lucky to have no neighbors and then a group of comprehensive people.

Urraro show reflects students' teacher
The "As We See It" exhibit at Urraro Gallery is not a Joyce Perowicz show, but her spirit and influence are evident throughout.
The 23 featured artists are Perowicz students at Mercy Hilltop Center, which offers a variety of classes, activities and other support services for local seniors. The show may have no unifying theme other than the teacher, but it's obvious that the way these students "see it" has been guided by an expert hand.
"I see a lot of Joyce's influence in many of the pieces, which I think is why it holds together so well without having a theme," gallery co-owner Laurie Urraro said.
There is an abundance of pastoral works -- land and seascapes, floral studies and the like -- which are also favorite subjects for Perowicz. Like their teacher, the students are exploring more than one medium, so the display includes watercolors, acrylics, oils and even a few mixed media pieces. Some of the artists are familiar names who have already found success in their own right.
The first impression one gets is of the size of the exhibit. There are more than 60 pieces in the gallery. The students were asked to bring two to four works. Some brought only one; others submitted the limit. While some cuts had to be made due to space considerations, every student is represented.
Then there's the matter of gender. Not that it mattered one way or the other, but I originally thought it was a women's show, until coming across pieces by Bob Englert. It's just a matter of fact that the majority of class participants are women. For what it's worth, Englert's works don't stand out from the crowd for any reason, pro or con.
It's largely a serene, soothing collection. There are representations of every season, of many of our beloved local landmarks and scenic areas, of sailboats and waterfalls, and even actual people here and there.
Several artists may be preparing for the upcoming Campbell Pottery Store Lily Festival Show; there are lilies of many different varieties in the mix by Anita Bernstein, Ellen McNerney, Debra Savelli, Judith Pelkowski and Maria Kuklinski.
I was also particularly taken by Judith Buchman's watercolor landscapes that reminded me of Canadian vacations, Mary Pat Haven's symbolic assemblages and Eileen Druzak's contemplative acrylics.
Congratulations also to Sister Mary Andrew, Pat Carr, Linda Feikles, Elaine Gaczkowski, Marilyn Garwig, Kathy Hoffman, Jeanne Maras, Nancy Lynch, M. JoAnn Nagle, Karen Narusewicz, Barbara Proctor, Ruth Swaney, Deborah Vicos-Kraus and Stephanie Wood.
Your efforts have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. Keep up the good work.

Erie Jews awaiting High Holy Days
Whether short and sharp or long and flowing, the notes of the shofar will sound tonight in Erie's Jewish community.
The ram's horn is a symbol of the High Holy Days, which begin today at sundown with Rosh Hashana. The start of the new Jewish spiritual year of 5774 is part of the Days of Awe, a time of repentance ending with Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, that will begin Sept. 13 at sundown.
"This is a very serious time of year for the Jewish people," said Rabbi Leonard Lifshen, spiritual leader of Congregation Brith Sholom, Erie's Conservative Jewish congregation.
Temple Anshe Hesed, the city's Reform Jewish congregation, also will celebrate the holy days with special services and events. Anshe Hesed's Tashlich Service will take place Thursday at 3 p.m. at Frontier Park, where temple members will throw breadcrumbs into Cascade Creek as a symbolic tossing away of sins.
Other holiday traditions include the Kol Nidre or Nidrei service, which takes its name from a prayer and is held on the eve of Yom Kippur, and the eating of honey, which Lifshen said represents the sweet year that Jews wish one another.
Lifshen said the High Holy Days are a time for focusing on God and charity, for prayer and change, and for emphasizing morality, self-examination, spirituality and holiness.

Living with the HTC One M8: climbing up the ladder
0. phoneArena 06 Jun 2014, 16:40 posted on
Let's get straight to the point here folks! Amongst the flagship smartphones announced in the first half of 2014, the HTC One M8 is the indisputable king when it comes to design. Very few phone manufacturers, past and present, opt to use high quality materials for their smartphones. On one hand, it's not really all that surprising to know that the HTC One M8 climbs straight to the leaderboard when it comes to...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

If only HTC had increased the screen size further. It could had stand well with late comers like LG.
4. express77 (unregistered)
They should have put the capacitive buttons in that black bar instead of stupid HTC logo. And camera ofcourse ruined this great phone.
7. 0xFFFF (Posts: 3806; Member since: 16 Apr 2014)
Completey agree. HTC could have had a larger effective screen size by just putting capacative buttons in the black bar, similar to the M7.
I'm sure historians will look back at the One M8 with its 4MP camera as one of HTC's key failures.
24. adwienc (Posts: 136; Member since: 26 Mar 2014)
Yep, that HTC logo kills this phone for me, G3 has 0.5 inch bigger screen and is same size it's pathetic. And I will always choose capacitive buttons over software, so I thought about M7 but it's battery life and lack of SD slot is something I can't go without.
25. b1acktiger (Posts: 223; Member since: 19 May 2012)
They put a bunch of sensors behind that black bar.
12. akki20892 (Posts: 3901; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
Living with HTC M8, I feel like M8 top of the tallest mountain.
33. Diezparda (Posts: 871; Member since: 23 Oct 2013)
yes larger screen size, 5.5 will be perfect and it won't be hurt to have extra RAM instead 2.

5. billgates (banned) (Posts: 555; Member since: 29 May 2014)
Nah... for me vinella android is far to generic for me but I do like sense 6. If they had upped the mp count we would have had a winner. I choose the s5 but the other 3 could have easily got my sale.
Z2- no where to be found so Sony didn't get me.. Sony how about you release the damn phone on some carriers next time k?
M8- I was ready to jump but the mp thing killed it for me
G3- I may look on Craigslist and trade my S5 for one in the future.
S5- HATE the design of the front... why SS won't you stop the same ugly front design you use on everything??? BUT I got pulled in on it being water resistant and the possibilities "shower selfie anyone"?

Would love to see a speaker to speaker screen on this model. A friend at work owns one of these and loves it, it does feel like a solid phone.
6. Bioload25 (Posts: 213; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
Its camera is indeed usable,but to a consumer planning an upgrade,its quality can be the reason not to buy this phone. As for the secondary camera,its pretty cool and can impress some curious people,but its not exactly 'useful',its just fun...
8. DevilWithin (Posts: 2; Member since: 12 May 2014)
this is indeed very helpful i chose S4 over One last year just like you did but i regret every bit of that decision by now and i just hate this phone in every single aspect of this phone !
overall i like the sound quality and premium feel that htc is feeling and i felt solid software unlike s4 on m7 last year im sure that its got even better on m8 ! and about the camera part i like every single picture that's been taken by this phone people should stop being arrogant and just see or even google some of them there are some extraordinary pictures on flickers taken by this beauty and that doesn't look like a low performer camera at all!
i already chose this phone to purchase in summer despite great performances by Z2 and newcomer G3 and this article gave me that perfect confidence to do it so! i really hope they make the harman kardon version available worldwide that a music junkies phone!!
9. Bjray (Posts: 177; Member since: 29 May 2014)
"around MY lifestyle." See posts like these are perfect simply because this is a reviewers personal option on the said device after owning it for a fair amount of time.
However almost all reviewers put their "personal lifestyle / requirements" on official reviews. I don't care about your style... Just tell me if the device good or not simple as that.
34. azers07 (Posts: 27; Member since: 17 Aug 2013)
there're bunch of little things, that makes this phone awesome. For example, when i take my m8 out of my pocket people are staring at it =)) you can read from their look - "dude, you're awesome"..
about the camera. everywhere except sunny day, it is awesome. under direct sunlight ultrapixel camera blows it too much. but photo effects which it provides is super amazing. Me and all my friends like it. when we hang out together, we take selfies and group photos with my phone, coz of the effects and low light performance ( and they have G2, S4 , 5S at their disposal)
HTC sense is super fluid and fast)) it is so gorgeous, i enjoy every second of it )) and boom sound is really good.
10. edditnyc (Posts: 4; Member since: 19 Apr 2014)
Seriously, I'm tired of the whole "if there's something I truly want to capture and preserve, I would whip out my point & shoot/dSRL/mirrorless camera to shoot it" response from tech bloggers like everyone has a P&S, DSLR or Mirrorless camera on them or can afford one. I have a DSLR which I love but the best camera to have is the one you have on you. Why tote around a point and shoot when we're talking about candid shots? Not everyone does that but the joy of having a smartphone is having the option to take a great shot at any moments notice. Not just a concert or a graduation or special event like that.
Also since the camera is inherently a wide angle shot, you are essentially stuck with a fixed lens camera. Why would you give up the ability to crop an image if you're on a fixed lens? It's ridiculous. The ultra pixel benefit is negligible, even in low light, because the sensor is a fraction of what you'd find on any other point and shoot, much less DSLR or mirrorless. So again, why skimp on resolution? Seems to me HTC is simply saving money they're spending on the unibody design. It's a cheap solution and uninformed tech bloggers eat it up.

Quad HD Snapdragon 805 devices are just a few months away, there's absolutely no reason to get this phone and besides the only thing that is going on with this is the boomsound.
Hold on to your current devices and it'll be worth it in the end
HTC blows
16. 0xFFFF (Posts: 3806; Member since: 16 Apr 2014)
Good advice. HTC isn't a terrible company. Rather, they have too many mediocre managers, so they make profoundly stupid mistakes.
While their corporate slogan used to be "quietly brilliant", it really should have been "almost brilliant".
17. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
You could use that logic anytime of the year. Once Snapdragon 805 devices come out, we'll be waiting on Snapdragon 810 devices that will be out just a few months away. You can't keep waiting for the next big thing, you have to be content with the technology today or else you'll be holding onto your device forever, in fear of being "obsolete" as soon as you buy a new phone.
Your opinion is yours, but I think HTC makes great products.
21. GreekGeek (Posts: 1276; Member since: 22 Mar 2014)
They make great phones ayt, too bad they don't listen to their loyal user base.......
The SD card inclusion? Yep they did that when their sales plummetted to the mud, yeah it is anecessity after all
Ultrapixel? They might ditch it in their next flagship iteration but took them forever to do it.....
Huge bezels? God knows when
Again, i must reiterate, there is no point buying this phone right now, HTC is a clumsy company run by idiots who doesn't know how to market a phone
27. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
The most popular smartphone series in the world currently doesn't have a MicroSD card. So it's not a necessity.
The Ultrapixel camera in the One is much better than the 13 MP camera in the One Mini 2 or the HTC E8. The only thing it's not good at is cropping photos; otherwise, it's pretty good.
The One M8 still has smaller bezels than Sony and Apple's flagships, and they improved it over the M7. The massive speakers make it seem more than it actually is.
Why wouldn't someone buy this phone? Great design, great screen, awesome speakers, a good camera (especially in low light), Sense 6 looks nice and has useful features, and HTC has been amazing with software support for their One devices recently. Unless they had really small hands and/or didn't like Sense 6, I'd recommend this phone to anyone.
31. gaara6775 (Posts: 738; Member since: 20 May 2014)
I'm with you bro. Those who think m8 has worst camera they will have worst low light photos in their phones.
22. techloverNYC (Posts: 601; Member since: 20 Nov 2012)
HTC's great product haven't lead to great sale number.
14. Lboogey6 (Posts: 281; Member since: 31 Jan 2012)
its a cute phone but its boring android is about a vision of capabilities i feel like the one just gives you an iphone.its a big phone with a regular screen size the speakers aren't impressive and the camera is subpar. but you say that water proof is a fad when most phones generally have water damage if they aren't cracked why? well because people have their phones on them 24/7 right before the shower right after in the middle. with kids dropping in cups in the rain washing accidental pool hops.... youre an idiot oh btw you have to warranty the phone for 6 months because the beautiful design flaw could easily slip out of your hand.

A good phone for me is when you look at it, it feels unique and sexy! But I'm a miser and don't want to spend money on phones when my s2 with cm11 can meet all my needs! It's like a wife! A wife who looks good, u can live with her for many years provided she cooks good food as well and u can manage her eccentricities!

HTC One (M8) is rated IPx3 for water "splash". This is still not an IP certificate but its better than nothing. Also the new E8 and Butterfly S is rated at IPx5.
29. droidmanX (Posts: 42; Member since: 25 Jan 2014)
HTC ONE M8 (boom speakers & Sense 6.0) + S5 ( Download boaster using both mobile data + wifi ) + LG G3 ( screen size of 5.5 and its design) + Sony Xperia Z2 camera, 3GB RAM =my dream phone. HTC ONE M8 screen size is small especially after using note 2 with 5.5 inch .. LG G3 yet to be released, still waiting. All the companies got it right in one or two departments. S5, HTC ONE M8, Xperia Z2 are very similar in battery backup. Just couldn't decide. This year competition is heating up like never before. Last few months have been extremely confusing but I think we will have a winner soon hopefully. LG G3 looks very promising hopefully it will emerge as winner.
( 5.5 inch screen + 3500 mah battery + Good UI like Sense + Good build quality + Good speakers like boom speakers + 805 snapdragon processor + 3 GB RAM + 13 MP camera, 2/5 MP + 32 GB inbuilt memory + Micro SD slot (upto 128GB + LED notification ) all this fitted in a phone like LG G3. And instead of QHD , replace it with 450 ppi Full HD. All this for 600$- 650$ unlocked. How nice it would be? Which ever company releases this type of phone SOON can be sure to get record breaking sales. Hope my wish comes true.

I've owned my AT&T M8 for about a month now. Had the T-Mobile S5 before this, and like the HTC much better. Camera isn't quite as good, but the sound, design, build , more than makes up for it.
32. sonisoe (Posts: 411; Member since: 06 May 2009)
i've an htc one m7, the camera was just ok, and after kitkat upgrade it's pretty bad... me personally, the best overall even considering g3 is z2 :
- beautiful design (may not be as beautiful as my m7 or arguably m8, but it still is)
- solid build quality
- great camera incl. camera features and digital image stabilisation that works like ois (am still surprised that sony's stabilisation doesnt get mentioned enough or even put to the test against other flagships)
- fantastic screen
- water resistance
- beautiful skin & not heavy as samsung/lgs
- of course snappy performance
- oh yeah, greaaaat battery life, better than the rest
so, there you go...
35. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
After just getting an m8 a few days ago, I can say that it's perfect. The camera isn't that bad and I don't consider the ultrapixel as a deal breaker
36. Vildi (Posts: 1; Member since: 10 Jun 2014)
I gave up on M8 because of two reasons:
1. Blown skies - I really think that most of times, 4 MP Ultrapixel makes a great photos. Many of my friens commented that M8 took very good pics for social media purposes and so on.. And that kind of camera would be good enought for me, but then there's problems with burned skies. I seriously think that in flagship with this kind of price ( in Finland about 600 €) I really should get better photos in broad daylight. It is unacceptable with this kind of prices that camera is SO weak in bright conditions.
Oh, and that HDR mode really sucks.
2. Scratches in camera coverlens - And the second thing that is unacceptable, I cannot possibly understand why lens scratches so easily. I used M7 in same conditions for 5 months and it didn't got any scratches to lenscover whatsoever. Some serious drop in durability. And that was the real dealbreaker for me. In HTC they said that because they cannot know that from where the scratches came from, warranty shouldn't be option. And I'm not going to pay 100-150 € for lenscover issues.
Otherwise I really loved and love M8, but I'm waiting for Prime or next year One to come, and see if there is some better options.
So I moved down to Galaxy S5. Atleast I can now put my phone to the table without the fear of scratches in lenscover :)

VILDI, you're absolutely right on the lens glass for camera mine scratched with in the 2week trial period. I returned it to At&t before return policy expired. I been using my nexus 5 naked and I still haven't got a scratch on the lens cover . I really think they used a crystal lens instead of sapphire. Like others tend to use.

4MP CAMERA in 2014!!!!! My iPhone 4 has 5MP camera in 2010... That is my only complaint about M8 ...
