Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel El Ducado Lima
Excelente ubicación
Hotel sencillo, pero muy limpio y muy bien ubicado, muy cerca de Larcomar y pocos minutos andando del coraz�n de Miraflores.
Great value in Miraflores
My parents and I stayed at El Ducado in Miraflores after having previously roomed in downtown Lima. There is a huge benefit in staying in Miraflores in that you get to breathe the wonderful Pacific air, feel the coolness of the ocean breeze, and watch the lovely sunsets every evening. El Ducado is only a few blocks from the ocean cliffs and the popular shopping and dining center Larcomar. It is conveniently situated on block of Avenida Larco where you can shop and eat some tasty Peruvian dinners. You are also a few minutes away from Barranco which is a wonderful oceanside town.
El Ducado offers an excellent value for this prime location. For $65 a night we received a spotlessly clean room with comfortable beds. There is a tv and more importantly a small fridge to keep beverages. The price of the room includes a continental breakfast of juice, coffee and fresh rolls served next to a charming courtyard filled with native plants. There is also a computer available for internet use. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We greatly enjoyed our stay in El Ducado and in Miraflores.
Un hotel molto confortevole e pulito
Io e mio marito abbiamo soggiornato in una suite doppia. L'arredo era semplice ma per il prezzo non ci si pu� lamentare. Il personale era incredibilmente disponibile e cortese. Il servizio di trasferimento da e verso l'aeroporto � davvero una grande comodit�, perch� pu� essere difficoltoso arrivare in un paese straniero, non conoscendo la lingua e alle 5.30 di mattina. I taxi non usano il tassametro a Lima! Nel complesso siamo rimasti colpiti dall'El Ducador, per il suo comfort, la pulizia e il servizio di qualit�.
An very comfortable and clean hotel
My husband and I stayed in a double suite . The decor was simple however, for the price you cannot complain. The staff were exceptionally helpful and courteous. We also found that the provision of free transfer from the airport a real bonus a it can be quite disconcerting when one arrives in a strange country, not knowing the language and at 5.30am in the mornng. Taxis do not use meters in Lima!.Overall we were very impressed with El Ducador, for its comfort, cleanliness and quality service.
Shop around for better
We found the bedrooms and bathrooms somewhat small and musty. The furniture was basic and dated.
Service was generally polite and helpful. A continental breakfast was served in a pleasant dining area.
Beware of the 6% surcharge when using a credit card. Not all cards accepted.
You're paying for the Miraflores location. Shop around and you'll do better for the same or less money.
The surcharge on credit cards we only charge on discounted rates. Meaning, we can give a discount, but the room must be paid cash. Off course it is possible to pay with a credit card, but at a surcharge.
Our prices show to be very competitive, together with free pickup services, breakfast included, great location, etc. we offer value for your money.
Great for the price!
I was satayinf at the Best Western Embajadores in Miraflores Peru, I was getting charge about $90 dollars a night, when I arrived the service was great, but when I got to my room I was disappointed, I thought $90 dollars was too much for that I was getting. I was just leaving the Best western and Across the street I saw El Ducado Hotel, so I stopped by and talked to the recepcionist, I paid $40 dollars a night for a double, the room was just as nice as the Best Western, don't expect new carpet or beautiful linens but I think this hotel it's great for the price, and the location is safe, the continental breakfast was great, fresh papaya juice everyday, coffee and fresh bread.
The staff was great, always really friendly and I even got sometimes my continental breakfast brought to my room, what a treat, of course I give them a little extra tip, cause you supposed to have breakfast in the dinning room. They also offer a laundry service, you give then your clothes and the next day you get it nice and clean and it's inexpensive, they exchange dollars, they are very helpful.
Next time a go back to Peru, I for sure will stay here again. It's a great place !!
Great location, great value
The intimate El Ducado Hotel, located just three blocks from the stunning LarcoMar Shopping Complex and the elegant cliff top Cisneros Avenue, is reasonable hotel has an unbeatable location, close to everything that's going on in vibrant Miraflores. Rooms are moderately sized, excellent bathrooms, very comfortable beds and the rate of US$ 35.00 includes a continental breakfast. Some internal rooms have limited views, but all are quiet, even front rooms on Juan Fanning Street. Very hospitable staff.
Very nice for the price
Great service, lovely staff, breakfast included, clean sheets and room, concierge. we were on a tight budget and it was the nicest of all the 'less-expensive' hotels we stayed in. We were impressed enough to reserve it for our return to Lima several days later.

Welcome to SerpentsCurse.com!
The unofficial Broken Sword 5 fan-site by Leonard Challis
Ayup! This is my contribution to the numerous existing tributes to Revolution's incredible Broken Sword series. The first episode of the fifth game in the series now proudly sits on our devices, with The Serpent's Curse: episode 2 expected very soon.
I've put this site together to provide a single point of access to a few fun Serpent's Curse bits. I don't want to recreate the wheel here – there are, after all, so many talented people in the Broken Sword community, which I shall proudly link to.
Thanks mainly due to time constaints, there's currently just a few active pages. Namely, the Kickstarter comments search tool in the Kickstarter section and the Fellow Fans section mentioned previously.
I shall also be sending my model goat, Lobineau, off on holiday. I want him to travel the world, spending time with a different Broken Sword fan every week or two.
Have fun and feel free to get in touch if you want to share something, if you want to see something, don't want to see something or simply want to tell me to shut up.
Take care,

This review is from: Intel Xeon E3-1225V3 Haswell 3.2 GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1150 95W BX80646E31225V3 Server Processor
Pros: Same specs as Haswell i7, but also supports ECC memory and costs almost $100 less. An old version of CPU-Z even identified it as an i7!
Cons: None that I can see. Even the much maligned stock fan keeps it around 30C at idle.
Other Thoughts: Got a combo deal with the excellent Supermicro X10SAE for $60 off. Supports DVI, VGA, HDMI, and DP all onboard!READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: HP Compaq Desktop PC 6200 Pro (D3H98UT#ABA) Intel Core i3 2120 (3.30 GHz) 4 GB DDR3 500 GB HDD NVIDIA NVS 295 Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit
Pros: Core i3, compact, good specs overall. Excellent heatsink and cooling system. PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports (these are getting hard to find). Windows 7 instead of the much maligned Windows 8. Rare 3 year warranty.
Cons: Sandy Bridge not Ivy Bridge means more power usage, but performance is about the same. Only USB 2.0, not USB 3.0. Although it has a dedicated graphics card, don't expect to game on it. With a paltry 8 shaders and 64-bit memory, the integrated Intel HD 2000 is actually more powerful.
Other Thoughts: Unless you need dual displayport, ditch the nvidia graphics card. Then pop the black plastic cap from the VGA port and use the built-in Intel HD 2000 graphics adapter. You will have to install the drivers from Intel's website.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Zalman MZ240ED Black 24" 5ms Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 30,000:1 (1000:1)
Pros: Big bright picture
Nice looking case
Decent stand
Dual inputs (DVI & VGA) with button to switch between them
Cons: Worst ghosting I've ever seen on any monitor! It's apparent even when scrolling a webpage. Forget about gaming, Doom 3 was ugly and unplayable. No way this is a 5ms panel, my Dell S2440L with a 6ms A-MVA panel is smooth as butter compared to this (but shouldn't be).
Other Thoughts: OK for office use I guess. Most non-tech people just want a large screen and don't care about things like response time. Still, I was surprised that a TFT panel with this kind of delay is still manufactured in 2012!READ FULL REVIEW

He doesn't read my blog anymore, I don't think, mostly out of laziness. And, again, these are things I talk to him about outside of the interwebz. I definitely feel that the problems with relationships and social media are rooted in communication issues in the relationship, not in the form of communication.

It added several business partners and tweaked its name - to Fajitas Grill Centro. It expanded its menu of namesake fajitas, and it now serves breakfast in addition to lunch and dinner. »Read Full Article(5)

The global birth rate still hasn't bounced back after the massive recession of 2008. Now there are new fears that those lagging births will deal a new blow to the economy down the road.
Economists say one-third of economic growth comes from more people joining the workforce than leaving it each year. The result is more producing, earning, and spending.
"For the first time since World War II, we're no longer getting a tailwind," said Russ Koesterich, chief investment strategist with Blackrock, the world's largest money manager. "You're going to create fewer jobs."
After the downturn in 2008, birth rates tumbled as fears grew. And births are still falling, especially in the world's five biggest developed economies: the United States, Japan, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom.
There were 350,000 fewer babies born in 2012 than in 2008, a nearly 5 percent drop in the birth rate.

BEREA, Ohio — One of the story lines for the Battle of Ohio this week would be if Colt McCoy returns as the quarterback.
Other than that, from the Browns standpoint, there's not a lot to look for in this game between the 2-11 Bengals and the 5-8 Browns.
Eric Mangini said that McCoy looked good in practiced last Friday, his first day back, and in pregame warm-ups against Buffalo. McCoy was the third quarterback in the Bills game.
Mangini said McCoy will get most of the work with the first team on Wednesday and barring setbacks, should be ready for Sunday.
"Colt will get more work this week and we'll see where he is (Wednesday)," Mangini said. "He practiced a day last week. I thought he did really well last Friday. I don't expect any limitations on him, but we'll have to see."
Mangini, again, wouldn't commit to McCoy, but deferred until Thursday.
"(McCoy) doesn't have the limitations, but it will be how he looks and how he feels Thursday."
McCoy came into the locker room during the media time dressed in camouflaged bib overalls, looking as though he came right out of a deer blind. He was walking without a limp.
"I wish I was (in a blind)," he said laughing.
McCoy is scheduled to speak to reporters Thursday.
The playbook continually expanded in McCoy's five games as the starter and Mangini said he expects him to pick up where he left off. McCoy was 81-for-127 passing for 975 yards (63.8 completion percentage) with three touchdowns and three interceptions. He had a quarterback rating of 85.3, compared to Jake Delhomme with a 63.4, who has two touchdowns and seven interceptions.
"What I've seen is (McCoy's) able to put a lot of things in the bank and build on it," Mangini said. "He's very diligent in his preparation and routine and the work he has done with Jake (Delhomme), Brian (Daboll) and Carl (Smith) have done with him has been very solid for a first year guy."
Being out of the playoff picture, Mangini said he doesn't believe in playing someone just for the future.
"Every time we have an opportunity to practice, it's building for the future," Mangini said. "With the injuries we've had, some of our young guys have had opportunities and it's up to them to seize that."
Ryan Fitzpatrick's scrambling hurt the Browns last week and McCoy or Seneca Wallace bring that element to the Browns that Delhomme hasn't been able to.
"There are problems that are presented by (scrambling)," Mangini said. "That's a good thing."
Mangini defended Delhomme's play against the Bills last week, despite putting up a 49.2 rating.
"Last week, I thought Jake got us into some good checks," he said. "Everybody has a big role in the offense, whether it's protection, the receivers getting open. All of those things working together generates overall successful play."
Delhomme said the quarterback position usually ends up with the responsibility.
"I think you have to as the quarterback," he said. "If you don't, you're being naive. If you don't score points and win, you're not getting the job done. I didn't do enough to get our team in the end zone and win."
Delhomme said he's not sure what Mangini will decide.
"I'm not sure what will happen," he said. "I'll go with the flow, sure I want to start. If you don't want to start, there's something wrong."
Delhomme reiterated what he said a few weeks ago, that if McCoy is the starter he won't cause problems.
"I know Colt is battling to get back healthy," Delhomme said. "I can only control what I can and whatever happens from that point on you don't rock the boat. That is how I was brought up and that's how I was raised and that's how it is in the NFL."
McCoy's play has caught the eye of Bengals' coach Marvin Lewis.
"I don't know of too many rookie quarterbacks who make their first start against the Steelers," Lewis said. "He makes quick decisions and is well coached and when (players from Texas) come (to the NFL), they're ready to play."
Mangini was asked who would be the number three quarterback if McCoy starts.
"We'll worry about number one and then there are a number of things you'd get from the two spot," he said. "We'll talk about it with Brian (Daboll)and Carl (Smith) and go from there."
Fumblemania: On the Ground: Despite Peyton Hillis going over 1,000 yards, it was overshadowed by the fact he fumbled three times against Buffalo, despite losing just one.
Hillis said he will correct what he can and move on.
"That's sometimes how the game goes," he said. "You can't play hesitant. It goes for every part of the team. You have good days and bad days.
"It's out of mind the next day," he said. "You can't worry about it or it will affect you the next game."
Hillis is among the NFL leaders in fumbles this season.
Mangini defended Hillis' style of play.
"That's not a statistic we want to lead in," Mangini said. "Most of his fumbles come when he's fighting for extra yards.
"He pushes the pile and that's when the ball is most exposed. You love the way he plays that way. You want that same effort without the exposure. You have to have the balance."
Hillis lost one of the balls when he was using his hurdle move over a defender.
"I have to be a little bit smarter about (hurdling)."
Ocho Down: Wide receiver Chad Ochocinco sounded unusually subdued on the conference call with the Cleveland media Wednesday.
"It's been tough," Ochocinco said. "I'm just trying to keep myself motivated and try to be the solution and not the problem."
Ochocinco was asked if he wants to stay with the Bengals.
"It wears on you after 10 years," he said. "I have no idea. I'm not the owner, so I don't know who leaves and who stays. I just want to make sure I'm on top of my game."
Lewis was asked why Ochocinco sounded down.
"I did a good job talking to him before you guys talked with him," Lewis laughed.
Injury Update: Scott Fujita (knee), Evan Moore (hip),David Bowens (head) and Shaun Rogers (hip, ankle) will not practice Wednesday. Mangini did not mention Sheldon Brown (shoulder) and Titus Brown (head).
Mangini still sounds as though Fujita won't play this week.
"He's a lot closer and has really come along," he said. "He has an outside chance, but don't know if we'd do that."
Cribbs All-Fundamentals Team: Joshua Cribbs was named to the 2010 USA Football/NFLPA All-Fundamental Team as a kick/punt returner.
The award is based on an ability to consistently execute the fundamentals of their positions and for making a positive impact in their communities
Francies Promoted: The Browns added Coye Francies to the active roster and waived Eric King. They also signed linebacker Eric Bakhtiari to the practice squad.
Francies was on the practice squad the last two weeks after being drafted by the Browns in the sixth-round of the 2009 NFL Draft. Also, offensive lineman Paul Fanaika was signed off of the Browns' practice squad to the Seahawks' active roster.

OSHA News Release – Region 3
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 3 News Release: III-03-07-9-107-PHL
Wed., Jul. 9, 2003
Contact: Leni Uddyback-Fortson
Office: (215) 861-5102
Philadelphia Produce Company More Than $183,000
PHILADELPHIA -- Numerous safety and health violations that could cause serious injury or death to employees, including an insufficient process safety management program and the lack of personal protective equipment, have led the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to cite Procacci Brothers Sales (PBS) Corporation, and issue $183,600 in penalties. PBS, a wholesaler and produce distributor located in South Philadelphia, employs approximately 700 workers.
OSHA initiated an inspection on Jan. 6, 2003 as part of its Site Specific Targeting Plan for industries with high injury and illness rates.
"OSHA's job is to help prevent workplace accidents and protect workers," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao. "We are particularly vigilant when workplaces have experienced high rates of injuries and illnesses, and we will not hesitate to enforce the law."
According to Phyllis Kyner, area director of the Philadelphia OSHA office, the company was cited for 65 serious violations with a total penalty $183,600 and 11 other-than-serious violations which carry no penalty.
"The company had not developed what is required for the very large anhydrous ammonia refrigeration system operating at their facility. This type of system requires specific hazard analysis, training, maintenance, management and emergency planning and response," said Kyner.
Other serious violations at the facility involved emergency exits, machine guarding, electrical shock hazards, lack of fire protection, and unsafe material handling and storage.
"All of the cited hazards increase the likelihood of a workplace accident. OSHA is seeking prompt abatement of hazards to protect the company's employees," Kyner said.
Serious citations are defined as those where there is a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result and the employer or should have known of the hazard
Procacci Brothers Sales has 15 working days to contest OSHA's citations and proposed penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The company may also agree to pay the fines and comply with the safety standards or request a meeting with OSHA's Philadelphia area office director.
OSHA is dedicated to savings lives, preventing injuries and illnesses and protecting America's workers. Safety and health add value to business, the workplace and life. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.

Texas economist Ray Perryman will discuss the impact of arts on the economy to city, county and business leaders on Monday.
The invitation-only speech is co-sponsored by the Texas Cultural Trust and the board of directors for a proposed performing arts center in Amarillo.
Organizers hope the speech will inspire support for the center, a $26 million facility still in the planning stages. A group of private Amarillo citizens is heading up fund-raising for the building, which would be deeded to the city following construction.
"I think that this will be an eye-opening talk," said Sandra Gilliland, one of the board members. "The arts have a lot more to do than just entertaining people."
Perryman will speak on an economic study he prepared for TCT in January that said the cultural arts contribute $190.2 billion to annual spending in Texas. His speech also will contain information specific to Amarillo.
The proposed facility, which would be located across Buchanan Street from the Amarillo Civic Center, would seat 1,280 people. It would house symphony concerts, opera productions, ballets and other performances, officials have said.
For information, call Gilliland at 374-8652.

Tom Degan: Republican governors all across this diseased land have been trying to undo the job growth of the last 25 months for no other purpose than to make the president look bad for the November Election
It's All Over Now, Rickie Blue
Tom Degan: If Mr. Rick had been born with dark skin he'd today be organizing birthday parties for preschoolers at a Chuck E. Cheese somewhere in central Pennsylvania.
The Truth Behind the Chamber's So-Called 'Job Killer' List
Caitlin Vega: While corporations sit on record profits, we have lost the dream of home ownership for a generation. We have made higher education unaffordable and cut k-12 education to the bone.
Walmart Trying to Open First LA Grocery Store, Major Fight Looms
LAANE: Small business leaders have expressed serious concerns about Walmart's impact on existing businesses, while opponents have long maintained that Walmart's entry into the grocery industry would create a race to the bottom
Apple's Labor Pool: Job Market or Slave Auction?
Steven Mikulan: Everything about Apple (from the mocking irony of Jobs' name to the outsourcing of its employees' livelihoods to factories in a totalitarian police state) epitomizes big business's attitude of contempt – not only for American workers but for America itself.
Wall Street's Global Race to the Bottom
Robert Reich: So the race to the bottom is now official. Wall Street will set up its casino wherever financial gambling is least regulated.
Netroots Focus on Better Democrats
Paul Hogarth: Four years after the first netroots convention, the bloggers are back in Vegas – with an eye on the November 2010 elections. Voters still want change like they did in 2006 and 2008, but now that Democrats control both Congress and the White House there's a real fear that Republicans could benefit.
Student Anti-Sweatshop Activists Win Historic Breakthrough
Randy Shaw: Numerous experts argue that the global "race to the bottom" is inevitable and beyond the power of activists to change. Fortunately, student anti-sweatshop activists ignored these claims, and have now defied the conventional wisdom.

The Texas Veterans Commission will host a "Beating the VA Backlog" event April 27 in Amarillo to provide one-on-one guidance to Texas veterans, family members and survivors with pending disability claims from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
The event takes place at the Holiday Inn West Amarillo Medical Center, 8231 W. Amarillo Blvd., from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The agency hosts the events to serve veterans and help reduce the number of backlogged claims, which state officials say have more than doubled since 2010.
The state already has helped more than 14,000 veterans with backlogged claims and sent more than 4,000 to the VA for action, the agency said.
The event is open to all veterans, their families and survivors. All services are free.
Preregistering is encouraged so staff can research claims prior to the event and set an appointment time. Walk-ins are allowed on a first-come, first-served basis as time allows.
For details regarding this event, contact information and registration, please visit: http://www.tvc.state.tx.us/Beating-the-VA-Backlog.aspx.

Nietzsche acknowledged himself expressly that Zur Genealogie der Moral [On the Genealogy of Morals, 1887] was a sequel to Jenseits von Gut und Böse [Beyond Good and Evil, 1886], and he does refer the reader to many passages from his earlier works, which implies that one ought to read those first before embarking on a possible misunderstanding of Zur Genealogie der Moral, which is often read erroneously in isolation. Kaufmann makes the general observation that Nietzsche "presupposed not only a passing acquaintance with his earlier books but actually a rather close study of them" and recommends that the reader ought to read s260 of Jenseits von Gut und Böse and s45 of Menschliches, …

Guilty plea in sexting caseJanuary 12,2013
BURLINGTON A Vermont man has pleaded guilty to persuading a 12-year-old girl to take nude photos of herself and send the images to his cellphone.
The U.S. Attorneys office says 26-year-old Richard Fletcher of Sheffield pleaded guilty to producing, receiving and possessing child pornography in federal court Wednesday.
Fletcher admitted that in 2011 he persuaded the girl in Utah to take the photos and send him the images.
Fletcher and the girl never met face-to-face. Prosecutors said he met her on a social media website, obtained her cellphone number, and began calling and texting her. They said he pressed for the photos after persuading the girl that he loved her and wanted her to be his girlfriend.

To be successful in the NHL, savvy general managers must lock up outstanding talent while not brutally overpaying. The squads that typically win the Stanley Cup aren't littered with bad contracts.
Occasionally there will be one or two, but the best team in the NHL is almost never overpaying members of its team.
GMs do a decent job in locking up their homegrown talent for the most part. Some folks lose their minds during free agency, only to see their team sink to the bottom of the standings the following year. This leads to an obvious division between bad contracts and good ones.
Then there are the deals that are outright steals—top performers who aren't due to make ridiculous amounts of money. One needn't look any farther than Martin St. Louis in Tampa Bay with the Lightning for a prime example.
He was the league's leading scorer in 2013, yet only hauled in $5.5 million. Not too shabby, but he's not alone in outperforming his contract.

We've dabbled a bit in using fresh herbs in our cocktails, but we've always felt it's an area we haven't spent enough time on. One reason is we don't want to waste good herbs - or good liquor - if our tequila and mint experiments don't work. We've found a nice guide to using herbs in cocktails over at About.com, which has inspired us to try again.

The bat-crocodile war. This is real and nature is amazing!
Strange Wing
While scientists have long known that modern day birds are dinosaurs (a fact that is self-evident if you ever look at a cassowary), it now appears that birds were not the dinosaurs' only attempt at flight. It may have had feathers, but the recently discovered Yi qi ("Strange Wing") had wings like a bat.

Hospitals For Bats, Hedgehogs, And More
Australia's Tolga Bat Hospital (slogan: "Batting For Australia"!) has many adorable patients . Meanwhile, one of England's shelters, Tiggywinkles, is home to "sick and injured hedgehogs, badgers, wild birds, foxes, even reptiles and amphibians."
Or, a vision in a dream. A Fragment.
"Death #1: Devoured by bats. Death #2: Sailed too close to the Elder Continent; my ship, bones gained sentience." People have been discussing Sunless Sea, the nouveau-Roguelike game just released by FailBetter Games. What else are they saying? Rock, Paper, Shotgun: "...the most delicious collection of words in all of gaming." Eurogamer: "This is the video game at its most mystical and revealing." There is, of course, a trailer.

"There is hope!"
As the West African Ebola epidemic stretches into its 10th month: researchers have identified the likely cause of the initial outbreak: a young boy playing with bats in a village in Guinea. The NY Times considers how the opportunity to contain the epidemic was missed and the effects of Ebola on West African economies. Vanity Fair takes a look at the failure to contain the disease within Guinea, Frontline goes to "Ground Zero" in Guinea, and searches for a missing Ebola patient. Meanwhile, West Africans welcomed Christmas (previously) and the New Year. Africa Stop Ebola!
The psychology of bat-making
The judgement of these clefts is the bat-maker's primary skill. They lie in their thousands in the drying shed, awaiting a grade that will decide their fate. Gray-Nicolls makes 60,000 cricket bats per year. Most of those are shaped in India, where bat-makers are more plentiful and demand can be met. The bulk of the clefts will be judged good enough to produce the bats that club cricketers buy (or at least the bats that they should buy), and they will be packed and shipped to the subcontinent and Australia, where Gray-Nicolls has a parallel operation. Some will come back once they are finished, others will journey onwards around the world to wherever the game is played. These few English fields and farms must support them all. [more inside]

Deciphering the Tools of Nature's Zombies
Deciphering the Tools of Nature's Zombies: The ability of parasites to alter the behaviour of their hosts fascinates both scientists and non-scientists alike. One reason that this topic resonates with so many is that it touches on core philosophical issues such as the existence of free will. If the mind is merely a machine, then it can be controlled by any entity that understands the code and has access to the machinery. This special issue of The Journal of Experimental Biology highlights some of the best-understood examples of parasite-induced changes in host brain and behaviour, encompassing both invertebrate and vertebrate hosts and micro- and macro-parasites.

12 Amazing Things About Bats
The ultimate buzzkill
Bats eavesdrop on the sound of copulating flies (includes grainy sextape). Another summary with additional comments.

Spooky Woodchester Mansion
Woodchester Mansion is in many ways the perfect setting for a Haunted Mansion (flickr photos). A favorite of ghost-hunters, its not hard to see why. It is a neo-Gothic mansion whose construction was suddenly abandoned in the 1870's and it remains virtually untouched since then -- scattered Victorian tools, fireplaces hanging in mid-air, stone gargoyles.
It also sits by itself in a secluded valley, now owned by the National Trust, where cars are not allowed. Oh, also, did I mention the bats? As of July 2011, 181 adult bats and 91 babies were recorded living in the mansion's belfry. There's a bat-cam.

Bats! Not actually in her belfry
Fantasy writer Robin McKinley has a bat colony in her attic! (If you don't already love her try Sunshine or The Blue Sword.) It's the largest Pipistrelle nursery in Hampshire, and it's illegal to disturb them. Here's one on her chandelier! (Despite her claims to the contrary, the bats are not actually in her belfry: McKinley is, in fact, a bellringer, but pursues this activity offsite.) McKinley's bat-ventures have an antipodean analogue: the Botanic Garden in Sydney is still agonizing over what to do with its own adorable hell-fiend horde. (Previously on the blue.) Bats!

Beats and Pieces, Collected in Loving Memory of 900 Bats
Back on August 15, 2010, Aesop Rock kicked off a sprawling collaboration effort, with input by 28 artists, with an eclectic collection of videos spanning from music videos to odd clips and a Kimya Dawson recording studio dance party, works by photographer Chrissy Piper, and lots of music, from unreleased tracks, remixes, and mixtapes. There's even a post about being manhandled by a nude model, written by the Dwarvs front-man Blag Dahlia. Going back to the beginning of the site, the second post was a collection of facts about bats, and the only obvious connection back to the tragic impetus for the title of this ongoing collaboration (900 bats) -- over 900 bats were torched to prevent disruption of work on the ongoing renovations of the historic Bala Quila (also spelled Bala Qila) fort in Alwar, Rajasthan, in north-eastern India.

The flying mammals were placed in a closed obstacle course on the forest floor. "It's like walking a straight line," Fenton quipped, referring to a common test given to suspected drunk drivers by police —except to succeed, the bats had to maneuver around hanging plastic chains without crashing. Bats can fly drunk.

Bats Flying in Slow Motion
How To Be A Bat [Life in Motion] Carl Zimmer has a lengthy post about Bats over at Discover magazine's website. Several slow motion videos of bat flight including a cool matlabish model of a bat flight vortex. As with all flying takoffs are optional and landings are mandatory so they also have slow motion video of two point and four point landings as well as well as some more pedestrian videos.

Nectivorous!!! Those that eat nectar: hummingbirds, honeyeaters, miners, honeycreepers, spinebills, wattlebirds, friarbirds, lorikeets, warblers, some parrots, and of course some bats!!! Many plants are adapted to such creatures!
Please check only one option: __ Brains __ Balls
Monogamists have bigger brains. More precisely, female monogamy in bats makes their male partner's brains bigger and their balls smaller, while female promiscuity in another bat species caused males to have huge balls and teeny brains. Can trusting your partner not to cheat lead to greater intellectual greatness? Via.
ultraviolet bats
But who are we to know such things? What if what first appeared as a solid yellow flower was in fact a series of radiating stripes? Another prominent one here. This is the world of ultraviolet as photographed by Bjørn Rørslett, the world as it is seen by insects and... bats and other mammals?

The results of the second annual Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge are out and include some dazzling imagery of a feeding tick, a volcano, and movies of a bat in action, an overview of the 2002 European floods, and a presentation on RNA interference.

An endangered bat returns to the Isle of Wright after disappearing for the century. And in other animal news, declassified CIA documents reveal that cats were used as experimental platforms for easdropping devices.

Q: After raising six kids, my mother divorced my father, went back to school and became a therapist. She never learned to manage money and eventually declared bankruptcy. The one debt that remained was a student loan.
Now 75 and suffering from Alzheimer's, she is in an assisted-living facility paid for by Medicaid. None of us kids have more than a modest income. Are we obliged to pay her remaining debt? - Robin Dellabough, Irvington, N.Y.
A: This debt is your mother's; neither you nor your siblings need repay it. When your mother took out her student loans she was presumably an honorable and responsible adult who had every intention of repaying them. That she might be unable to do so - or worse, that she was not so well-intentioned - was a risk freely borne by the lender.
Borrower and lender signed a contract that specified their mutual obligations. Had the lender expected the debt to be passed down from generation to generation, you would have been asked to cosign the loan. (The federal government certainly does not expect adult children to shoulder their parents' debts; that's why Medicaid is picking up the tab for your mother's nursing home.)
It is when commitments are not made explicit that the narrowly legal must yield to the ethical. Had your mother instead borrowed money from an old friend in a more casual arrangement, things would be different.
In such a situation, promises are implicit and ambiguous. She and her friend would be bound not by the articulated terms of the loan but by their entire shared history. Thus you and your siblings might well feel obliged to repay the loan so as not to leave an old friend in the lurch.
Before making a decision about this debt, you should confirm with an attorney that your mother, having declared bankruptcy, still has this obligation - and find out where you fit in. Loan agreements can be complicated and can be ferociously enforced with disconcerting consequences, as nearly everyone in "The Merchant of Venice" discovered.
Q: In a cover letter for a job application, I claimed to know a computer program that I don't know now but that I'm confident I will know by the time I interview for the job. (It's free to download for a trial period, and I've got nothing but time.)
Is that technically "lying," or benignly extrapolating to give my future self the best chances of getting the job? - P.M.C., Brooklyn, N.Y.
A: You're contemplating what employment agencies call "telling a big fat lie." By your reasoning, I'd be free to describe myself as a handsome millionaire, because I intend to be both someday. Really soon. Any second now. The conventional - and ethical - sequence is to first learn the skill, then describe yourself as possessed of it, not the other way around.
The trouble with making your claim is, of course, this: There's no guarantee you'll learn the program. We make promises to ourselves all the time - particularly around the New Year, and by February we are blushing remorsefully while smoking a cigarette after enjoying a second piece of cake, which we had extra time to eat since we skipped the gym.
Times change. In the sixth century at Hrothgar's mead hall, Beowulf was not only permitted but also expected to declare what he intended to do to Grendel. This wasn't resume padding - it was proper heroic behavior. Then again, he didn't say he had slain Grendel; he said he would. And he was profoundly obligated to fulfill his bold declarations.
Today such talk is discouraged, so be careful what you say when applying for a job around the mead hall.

I would tell anyone that was considering going to him..... DON'T GO. He missed diagnosed two people and it was not good out comes. I would not recommend this doctor.
Been my doc for years
The only grievance I have with them is that sometimes it is very hard to get thru the switchboard to talk with someone. If you call for an appointment and they are busy, you get voicemail telling you to leave a message. They never all you back from those messages. You just have to keep calling till you get someone. The staff have wonderful helpful personalities. They are so sweet and caring. Dr. Stowers is polite and knowlegable. My family has been seeing him for several years now and wouldn't consider switching for anything.
Ones of the best doctors I have ever had. he is young but very, very knowledgeable.
I called for an appointment because of being in a car accident the lady immediately went into how they do not accept 3rd party insurance and I would h ...
He has been my family's doctor for at least 3 yrs now & everytime we have had to see him, he has always made our visit wonderful. He has been a blessing to my familys' health & wellbeing.

This is my first post on this board. I've lurked for months, not knowing if my baby would survive. My water broke and 19 weeks, I never accumulated any amniotic fluid, and so gratefully, my baby boy was born last week at 32 weeks.
He's done remarkably well, considering. He has mild pulmonary hypoplasia, a PDA and pnuemothorax (which have appeared to resolve themselves), pumonary hypertension (treated with Nitric Oxide) and possiblly, some kidney issues.
After 4 days on the high-frequency vent, he was weaned to CPAP. Spent a day on CPAP and weaned to nasal cannula. Yesterday, they took the cannula off, but by last night...they'd put it back on due to desats (his first), some nasal congestion he has, some retracting, and a borderline-high respiratory rate.
Two questions: 1) Did your baby go on and off the cannula? Our little guy is only 9 days old and we're very pleased with his progressed but concerned about backslides.
2) I woke up with a little wheeze and a cough. It's subtle, but there. The NICU nurses said to stay away for now, and of course ... that's best. BUT IT'S AGONIZING when I want to get in there for Kangaroo Care. And my husband is coughing too. HOW DID YOU DEAL WITH YOUR OWN LITTLE COLDS? DId you stay away from the NICU with even the hint of a sneeze?
I'm such a rookie here, and need to let me head guide me here when my heart just wants to be there.
I'm so grateful our baby survived and I actually get to be part of this group. It was a long haul getting him here...
Any advice, words of experience MUCH appreciated, mamas.
Sniffle, sniffle,

Short Story Roundup
By John Freeman
It's a small misnomer to label this new book by MacArthur "Genius" fellow Lydia Davis a collection of stories. Many of the pieces are a paragraph long, some less. And Davis doesn't often follow a story from one place to the next. There are certainly no cliff-hanger endings.
Culture Shock
By Steven Robert Allen
Cornstalk—The Alibi's editorial staff voted the Cornstalk Institute the "best nonprofit you've never heard of." The South Valley organization provides experiential education and prevention programs to local middle and high school kids. We're talking everything from ropes course training to outdoor adventuring to organic gardening. A fundraising event for Cornstalk is going on this Saturday, June 16, from 11 a.m. to midnight. Tickets are $30 (two for $50) and include live entertainment by Burqueños such as Daddy Long Loin and Damien Flores as well as out-of-towners like New York's Emory Joseph and Tucson's Greyhound Soul. There'll also be a silent auction for a Fender Stratocaster signed by both Robert Cray and Eric Clapton. The institute is located at 3011 Barcelona SW. Tix are available at Bookworks and Natural Sound. For details, e-mail email@example.com.

Folk on the Rocks
Albuquerque Folk Festival comes to Expo New Mexico
By Steven Robert Allen
I have to admit that the term "folk music" gets under my skin, but it's still the best broadly recognizable label for noncommercial music created in a communal environment. The word "folk" might be annoying, but it signifies a crucial aspect of cultural experience for ordinary people. Participation and sharing becomes more important than competition and wanky virtuosity. Tradition and social conscience get higher marks than mass market fame and fortune.
Book Review
One Little Indian Boy
Review by Lisa Lenard-Cook
In the early '90s, when I was teaching writing at Fort Lewis College in Durango, I discovered a slim book of short stories in Maria's Bookshop with the marvelous title The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven. Not only did the collection live up to its flamboyant name, it made me an instant and unrepentant Sherman Alexie fan. The man not only stood myths—Native American and otherwise—on their heads, but managed to show the humor and pathos in both reservation life and our country's sorry mistreatment of its first occupants, all in the same breathtaking stroke.

Burt happy to switch back to the wing
- From: AAP
- July 15, 2011
PARRAMATTA veteran Luke Burt believes he's playing the best football of his NRL career and insists he's more than happy to remain on the wing, despite a successful switch to fullback last week.
Eels coach Stephen Kearney moved Jarryd Hayne to five-eighth for the 22-6 win over Wests Tigers with Burt moving to the custodian role where he produced a stellar display as the Eels ended a three-game losing streak.
However, with halfback Jeff Robson fit again following a hamstring problem, Hayne has been restored to fullback for the clash with Penrith on Saturday with Burt reverting to the wing.
"I really enjoyed it at fullback and always have done," Burt told AAP.
"However, with Haynesy there my chances of playing there are few and far between as he is one of the best in the world in that position, but I enjoyed roaming around and getting involved, but with Robbo back this week I am back on the wing and that suits me fine."
The Eels have yet to win successive games this season but Burt insists defeat is not an option against the Panthers, not only because the team's finals hopes are realistically over should they lose, but also because the game marks the 300th appearance for skipper Nathan Hindmarsh.
"Hindy is one of my best mates and I desperately want to win for him, he is not only one of the greatest players to play for this club, but also one of the best to ever play in the NRL," he said.
"He has given so much for the club over the years and all the boys here want to make his 300th game one to remember. Everyone knows what a great competitor he is, but he is also a very bad loser so there is plenty of motivation for us against Penrith."
The 30-year-old is off-contract at the end of next season and hopeful of securing a new deal that will take him into at least the 2013 campaign.
"I am not sure why, but I am feeling really good this season, it was quite well documented what a tough pre-season we had, but it really worked for me," said the Eels' record points scorer.
"I have just turned 30, the deal I have takes me up until I'm 31, but I am confident I can play until I am 32-33 and I would love to stay here and finish my career at Parra.
"I love the club and feel very at home here."
Have your say

We keep talking about our visit to the Croff House...and that was in August. My husband and I both work in the hospitality business and we were both delighted and impressed by the attention to detail and the dedication to excellence that the proprietors put into this B&B. And they were both so charming, warm and professional that we felt completely at home. We have already booked a return visit and Croff House is on our short list of favorite places to stay. Thanks Duncan and Russ!

We were in town from NYC for a wedding and stayed here with some friends. It was a wonderful experience. It is a pretty short walk from the train and be prepared to walk as Uber doesn't seem to be around and the cab companies aren't really there either (this would be a problem for any and every B&B in Hudson). The House is very well done and Duncan and Russ are quite welcoming and put a lot of thought into the comfort of the place. It is on a little side street in a nice part of the small town. The breakfasts were fantastic - be prepared for a 3 course meal! Overall, this was one of the nicest B&B's I've ever been too. I'd say it reminds me a lot of Newburyport, MA, but with a better breakfast. Enjoy!
Respuesta del propietario
Thanks a million for the awesome review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. Wedding weekends are chock full of events, so guests don't usually have a lot of time to enjoy the inn and Hudson, but we're so glad this was not the case with your stay. We hope you will visit us once again, and look forward to seeing you. Thanks again!

I spent Memorial Day weekend with a group of friends at The Croff House. I wish I could think of some constructive criticism, but I can't - the house is perfect and the hosts are great. I would change nothing. Start with the house. It is beautiful. Actually, our collective jaws dropped when we entered it. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The bathrooms are a treat. The location is great - walking distance from the town center and from the Hudson for fantastic views. There's also a lovely porch that is great for idling, enjoying the flowers, and chatting and imbibing. The hosts are very attentive without being in your face. Just really nice people who know their town and care about their guests' well-being. They cook a mean breakfast too and even accommodated the two vegans in our group without a grumble. This really is a great place to stay of you are looking for a getaway from New York and want to enjoy Hudson town. Very highly recommended.

Patrick: Thanks for the sensational comments and praise, we really appreciate it! What a fun weekend it was for you all celebrating Jenny's graduation, and we're so happy you chose The Croff House to host your festivities. Based on your comments everything seems to have exceeded your needs and expectations, which is so fulfilling for us. We hope that you and the others will come back to Hudson for another visit soon. Until then thanks a million and be well!

We couldn't have had a more perfect place to stay. From the minute we arrived, Russ was at our car, helping us with our bags. Once inside, he happily recommended several restaurants in which to try while helping us get settled into our beautiful room. We truly felt at home in the Croff House, a magnificently restored Victorian home. Russ and Duncan provide the most personal touches everywhere, including making and setting the automatic timer on the coffee pot in the kitchen for my husband and me to help ourselves at our leisure. Both Duncan and Russ made two delicious, three course breakfasts each morning of our stay. I am already planning to say again for a mother/daughter weekend this summer and again in the fall with my husband.

Amy & Greg: Thanks so much for the exceptional review. We're so happy you enjoyed your stay with us so highly and appreciate all your wonderful praise including our breakfasts, service and amenities.

We went to the Croff House in the middle of November. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and the house was very nicely decorated. The highlight was the breakfasts and the excellent selection of teas. The location was also great, as it is only a 5 minute walk from Warren St. Looking forward to coming back in the future.

Hey thanks so much for the excellent review! We're so happy you enjoyed your stay with us and that you appreciate all we do to make our guests' stay memorable. In addition thanks for mentioning how our convenient location within walking distance of Hudson's main street, Warren Street, makes everything close and convenient. We thank you again for the great review and with you all the best this holiday season and in the year ahead!

For a weekend away from the city, I made reservations at The Croff House, a wonderful bed and breakfast owned by proprietors Duncan and Russ. The five bedroom B&B is located on a quiet cul-de-sac that is conveniently located to the main street in town with restaurants and shops (Warren Street). Russ kindly picked us up at the train station (it would have been a short walk but I brought way too much luggage) and brought us to the B&B. We asked for some advice on restaurant options that cater to vegetarians (Aish!) and things to do (Farm to Glass Tour...more below!). The breakfast featured at the B&B was delicious! Each day we got: coffee (refills were constantly offered!), fresh orange juice, and chilled water. Additionally, Duncan baked fresh muffins (one day they were sweet with raspberries and the next day they were savory with sundried tomatoes), yogurt parfaits and an entree (quiche on Saturday and French Toast Sunday). I advised them that Aish is a vegetarian and they baked a meatless quiche for her and offered meatless bacon/sausage (to me, the fact that this exists saddens me). I highly recommend staying here if you find yourself in Hudson :) If you're looking for a quick trip away from Manhattan, I highly recommend coming here! You can take the Amtrak from Penn Station and get off directly at the Hudson stop. You can enjoy a weekend away without a car rental.

Amazing review! Thanks so much - we really appreciate it! You guys totally took advantage of all that The Croff House and Hudson has to offer. You're right - our convenient location within walking distance to everything means you don't need a car. So happy you enjoyed our three=course breakfasts, too (LOL about the vegetarian meat alternatives). We hope that the next time you need an "Escape from New York" we will once again have the pleasure of your company with us at The Croff House. Until then enjoy the holidays and thanks a million!

I proposed to my fiancé in front of their doorsteps. I selected this bed and breakfast because of the great reviews. Duncan and Russ are great hosts.mthe rooms are cozy and romantic. The breakfasts were delicious. We loved everything about our stay. I'd recommend this place to any couple seeking a relaxing getaway.

Thanks for the super review! We're always happy when couples choose The Croff House to "pop the question", although we get kind of antsy waiting to hear what the answer is (we haven't had a "no" yet!). We're equally happy that your special weekend was wonderful in all other aspects as well. Wishing all the best this holiday season, we thank you for the great review and offer our sincerest congratulations!

We recently had a "Big Chill" style weekend with 4 couples converging on the Croff House B&B. Two of the couples had stayed here before and we were back for more! This is a great B&B. The hosts, Russ and Duncan, are delightful and make you feel right at home. They live next door, so the house is for guests only. The rooms are beautifully appointed and not twee (we hate twee!). The bathrooms might be the highlights of each room - some with tubs, others with great showers, often with a stained glass window in the shower stall (non-transparent, obviously!). The breakfasts are truly gourmet - reason alone to come here! We will be back. Again...

LOL - what a spectacular (and entertaining) review! We're so happy you all had such a fun weekend with us at The Croff House. It can sometimes be a challenge with a close knit group as an innkeeper - knowing when you're needed and when you're not. Clearly we were able to offer just the right balance. We look forward to seeing any and all of you back again soon. Thanks again and all the best this holiday season!
