recommend your best fitness / weight loss related podcasts
I'm trying to keep my momentum going regarding new year resolutions and eating better/moving more in an effort to lose a significant chunk of weight. Recommend me your favourite podcasts on the topic, please. [more inside]
Podcast recommendations, please!
I've started listening to podcasts on my daily one-hour-each-way commute. I'm enjoying StoryCorps, This American Life, and Pop Culture Happy Hour so far. What other podcasts might I enjoy? Bonus points for content relating to books/authors(But NOT podcasts of authors reading their work--I can listen to audiobooks for that!)--but I'm open to other topics. I'm not really into advice-type programs or comedy--funny is fine, but not comedy as the main draw. Thanks in advance--I know you'll steer me towards some great stuff!
Podcasts (and blogs) about contemporary classical music?
Are there podcasts about the contemporary classical / alt classical / new music / experimental music scene? Particularly interviews with composers and musicians, talk about the music, and so forth; as opposed to playlists of the music itself. WNYC's Soundcheck and other public radio podcasts sometimes touch on this kind of stuff, but I want more! And not just John Adams and John Luther Adams all the time. Blog recommendations also welcome, but podcasts seem like a perfect format for talking about music.
I miss podcasts. Any suggestions?
I miss podcasts. Any suggestions? it was very simple on my ipod, but I don't use it anymore. I now have a google nexus and have used stitcher but I can't find much on there.

iTunes bugs mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel
What's the best way to keep podcast subscriptions and listens on two Macs and an iPhone synced that supports downloading episodes (i.e., not web-only)? If the answer involves iTunes, I might need an explanation of how to fix it since each copy of iTunes seems to be doing its own thing. I'm not looking for live slinging/transfer of audio to another device since the Macs are in completely different locations and the phone isn't always around.

Language learning podcasts for kids: Italian and hebrew
Do you know of any podcasts available through iTunes that are for kids and either teach Italian or Hebrew or are just podcasts in those languages that are kid appropriate?
Recommend guided meditation podcasts, please.
I'm looking for podcasts that have interesting guided meditations. I've found a few meditation podcasts, but they don't seem to have updated in ages. I have an android phone and use Podkicker. I'd like sleep and relaxation themed meditations, preferably less than 50 minutes long.
Slöjd vloggers? Other Swedish vlogs and podcasts?

First words
It would make me so happy to wake up to podcasts in the morning. Do you do this? How? It seems easy enough, but I can't figure out how to configure my iPhone (iOS 7) alarm to play podcasts. The current options it gives me are ringtones or an iTunes song. Is this simply the matter of finding the right app? Thanks!!
In-language podcasts
I am looking for non-English language podcasts that do NOT focus on language learning. [more inside]
Converting podcasts to mp3 songs in Itunes 12
I subscribe to the KEXP song of the day. It's got great stuff. I used to be able to right click on the podcast and say "Convert to AAC" and then just change the type to music. Now...not so much. What's the trick to turning podcasts into songs these days?
I need a lot of "The Moth" without too much hassle
My partner is addicted to "The Moth Radio Hour", and I'd like to get her an MP3 player and load it up with older episodes. What is the simplest and cheapest way that I can get a pile of them all at once? I'm digging around, but not having any luck coming up with a good solution so far.
Nonfiction Podcast Series for Road Tripping

Can't seem to get the podcasts that I want onto my new iPhone. [more inside]
Is it possible to search for podcast episodes by topic?
One would think this exists somewhere, so maybe I just didn't do enough googling, but is there a way to search for podcasts or radio segments by topic? Say I want to find a podcast, talk radio segment or recorded lecture tagged with "Philae landing"...how would I go about doing that without googling a specific show like "Science Friday Philae landing"?
Sleeping with Podcasts
For the past couple years I have gone to sleep with podcasts on (usually sports or news podcasts) and find it really difficult to go to sleep without a podcast on. I have tried sound machines and they do not help. No matter how long I sleep, I generally wake up feeling fatigued, and can have brain fog or feel tired and am tired throughout the day. I have never been a particularly great sleeper, but I am at a place that I need to address the fatigue. I am going to go get checked by a sleep doctor in a couple months (switching insurance and travel schedule), but in the meantime I am assessing things I am doing that may cause the fatigue. Does anyone sleep with podcasts on? Could this be an issue? My thought is maybe my brain is semi-engaged because I am listening to the conversation. Total guess, but thought I would reach out and see if anyone else has dealt with this. Thanks!
American podcasts with Southern accents?
What podcasts feature speakers with Southern American accents? I love how these accents sound and want to listen to long stretches of people speaking with them. I'm from New England; the accents I'm thinking of are anything from the southeast US, West Virginia, Texas, and inbetween. [more inside]
How to un-hook podcasts between my iPad and my Mac?
I have an iPad mini (16GB, wi-fi only, running iOS 8.x) that I use mostly for reading the web--never for listening to podcasts--and want to get rid of the podcast files that are unwanted on the device and just taking up valuable space. [more inside]
Books for Serial fans
What are some books that superfans of the podcast Serial (the first season) will thoroughly enjoy?
Mom-Friendly Podcasts
I've gotten my 64 year old mother hooked on Serial, and now she's requesting more podcasts. The ones I listen to are silly comedy things that I don't think are quite her cup of tea. [more inside]
Looking for French Podcasts (Non-radio)
Hello, I'm looking for some good French podcasts that aren't simply radio broadcasts, but are more conversational/comedy/interview in style. I'm thinking of podcasts like: Judge John Hodgeman, WTF, Filmspotting, Comedy Bang Bang, Savage Lovecast, Lexicon Valley, My Brother my brother and me. Does such a thing even exist in France? I'd appreciate some help if you know of anything!
Seeking android music app which will sort podcasts
I want something that will separate podcast tracks into a separate playlist, and then sort that playlist by 'album'. Does this app exist? I am _not_ looking for a specific podcast app for downloading/subscribing, just something to sort & order existing items. [more inside]
Are there any good podcasts about mythology?
I want to hear podcasts that tell and analyze myths. Preferably not constrained to one culture/time period. Suggestions? [more inside]
No download option - how can I get this audio?
I have a "premium" subscription to Mark Maron's "WTF" podcast, but do not have a smartphone. The hoster, Libsyn, does not offer downloads for the premium episodes unless you are using their app. [more inside]
Podcast equivalent of "30 for 30"

If Podcasts Were Hot Dogs, I'd Be Kobayashi
I spend 10+ hours per week commuting, 40+ hours wearing headphones at work (open-plan office: boo!), and ANOTHER 5+ hours wearing headphones at the gym. As such, I plow through an absolutely obscene volume of podcasts. I'd like some recommendations for more (lest I be forced to spend even a single second alone with my thoughts). To help you get an idea of my preferences, here are a few lists: [more inside]
Inspiration to maintain an exercise habit
I am going through yet another slump in my regular pattern of exercising, not exercising, exercising, rinse and repeat. I'm looking for some inspiration in the form of books, podcasts, twitter accounts to follow, facebook groups, etc. [more inside]
How do we appropriately ask for t-shirt design ideas on our podcasts?
I run a podcast network, and we're revamping our merchandise. We have no designers on staff, but we have lots of designers in our audiences who love our shows and have great ideas, and we'd like to tap their expertise. I'd like to ask for design idea submissions from designer-listeners on-air without asking for spec work (or seeming to). How, specifically, do we make that call to action - what language should we use? (The work, incidentally, is paid.)
World Cup 2014 podcasts?
What with work and family life, I'm not getting to see that much of the World Cup. I do, however, have some time each day to listen to podcasts while riding the bus to and from work. I'd like to listen to discussions and analyses of the various World Cup games while on the bus. Can you suggest some good podcasts?
Candid conversations about black-white relations in the US
As a white foreigner who spends much of his time on a college campus where black people are few and far between, I feel like there's a lot I don't understand about black-white relations in the US. I know my history and understand the social and political issues involved reasonably well, but what I'm missing is a sense of how these things play out in the everyday lives of ordinary people. I'd like to hear conversations and stories, in podcast form or the like, that touch on this stuff. The more candid, informal, personal, and no-holds-barred, the better. [more inside]
Podcasts exploring how a topic interesects other areas
One of my favourite Youtube series is Extra Credits. This series is centered around games, but it explores any number of related topics from games in education, the business of making games, careers in the game industry, religion, psychology, social issues.... Are there any other podcasts or video series where the creator has strong expertise in a particular topic, but relates in to a broad range of other areas?
Audio/Video Podcast playlist help
Is there a tool or service that allows you to arbitrarily add podcasts episodes to a custom feed you can subscribe to or share ? [more inside]
How can I be a well-informed UK voter?
I'm a new UK citizen, and I'd like to stay informed so that I can vote wisely (not just this week but in all elections to come.) Unfortunately, a lot of political coverage seems to focus on "Will talking about this policy help the party win?" while I'm more interested in "Will implementing this policy be good for the country?" So, what podcasts, Twitter feeds, or other resources tend to offer thoughtful, in-depth analysis of different party's positions on various issues? (I'm a big fan of the BBC's "Analysis" podcast, to give an idea of what I'm looking for.") [more inside]
Whaddaya mean "no new episodes"?
I'd like some more podcasts to listen to. Stuff I already like after the fold. [more inside]
Demokratie Jetzt!
I'm a US transplant to Germany. I listen to a lot of lefty podcasts from the US: Democracy Now!, The Young Turks, Majority Report, Best of the Left, Citizen Radio, etc. My German is getting pretty good after two years, and I'd like to listen to similar issues discussed auf Deutsch. Suggestions? Vielen Dank!
What other podcasts should I listen to?
I listen to podcasts while driving and while cleaning. I currently have 3 on rotation: Welcome to Night Vale, Spilled Milk, and the Metafilter podcast. The latter two I like because I like listening to 2-3 people who get along well chatting conversationally about things I might be interested in, joking, etc. Night Vale I like because it's short enough to listen to in one go and it's a fun set of stories set in a consistent world that I enjoy. Please recommend me some more podcasts I can get on iTunes. Not interested in celebrity gossip, history, dry science, or story podcasts longer than 30 minutes per episode. Especially interested in cooking, parenting, self-improvement, and shows with big archives.
More podcasts like "Rationally Speaking"
I enjoy the Rationally Speaking podcast. Are there any similar podcasts, not necessarily featuring "special guests," which feature discussions on philosophy, science, and ethics?
Best episodes of the Home Work podcast?
The 5x5 Home Work podcast about working from home looks interesting, but there are 95 episodes. Anyone listen to this and have some favorites I can start with?
Can you suggest dull and informative podcasts to help me fall asleep?
Sometimes I have trouble falling asleep because I can't stop worrying over issues of the day. I've found that listening to a slightly boring podcast really helps in those situations. So far, I've been listening to history podcasts but I think the technique would work with other subject areas and I'd like to find more such podcasts. I'm looking for intelligent and serious podcasts (little to no humorous banter) on important and/or academic topics. Ideally, the presenters would have monotonous voices and would spend a bit too much time on the dull minutiae, but the subject matter would be sufficiently interesting to help me stop thinking about other issues. I don't want to hear a group of friends or colleagues bantering. I don't want to hear comics interviewing each other. Pseudo-science or woo won't help because I may respond emotionally.
Conversational podcasts?
Looking for podcasts that could best be described as "really smart people shooting the breeze." Favorite examples would the various Slate podcasts that feature three writers discussing a range of topics, as well as NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour. The subject matter can be about anything, though looking for something a bit more conversational and wide-ranging than, say, a panel of experts discussing their fields. Any suggestions?
Is there a decent weekly news-in-review podcast?
I've been looking for a good weekly news-in-review podcast, but I can't find one. Surely one must exist - right? [more inside]
Looking for globetrotting (non-news) podcasts
I'd like to expand my podcast listening horizons a bit--as in geographically and culturally. Are there any podcasts that regularly go globetrotting for their non-news stories? Makes regular attempts to be less WEIRD? Radio Netherlands Worldwide for example had the environmentally themed Earth Beat and a TALish The State We're In. They were both amazing, but canceled due to budget cuts. I'm also on a crime and mysteries kick, so something like Interpol's greatest hits podcast (they don't AFAIK) would be awesome.
iTunes is pissing me off.
iTunes now streams podcasts from the cloud, and as far as I can tell no longer provides the capacity to download the mp3 podcast files onto my iMac. [more inside]
Audio editing software to easily and efficiently export brief MP3 clips?
Which OSX application will allow me to most efficiently set up the beginning and endpoints of MP3 files in order to extract brief audio clips? [more inside]
Not Loving Podcasts in iOS 7
Actually, I'm kind of not loving anything in iOS 7. Perhaps it is the shock of the new. Or just realy ugly design. Anyway, that is not my problem. My specific issue is that iTunes is now apparently arranging my podcast feed at random, rather than alphabetically or any other sensible system. Looking at online forums, there doesn't seem to be a way to fix this. Is there? Or, failing that, is there another podcast app that would work better for me?

A Great Tool
I can't say enough about this little remote. I purchased it with my E-410 and have been glad about it ever since! Probably the best thing is that this remote works with all the E-series cameras I have used, including the E-410, E-3 and E-1. While the infrared is sometimes a little finicky, I have been able to use it standing far enough away that I could fire my camera while not disturbing birds coming to a feeder. Because of the small size it's very easy to hide in your hand when you're in a group photo. While I do have the RM-CB1 for my E-3, this little device is so much more convenient that I almost always use it unless I am doing portraits where I have to stand behind or to the side of the camera. It also allows hands off operations when using BULB via the W and T buttons. If you are using an E-series camera, this is a great tool to have in your camera bag.Read More

Community Consolidated Schools District 168 held the Public Hearing for Qualified School Construction Bonds (QSCB) on Monday, April 18, 2016. The QSCB is part of a Federal Program to assist school districts with capital projects needed to update and maintain buildings and grounds. Close to 200 School districts across the state applied for the QSCB and only 29 were selected for the opportunity. The intent of the Federal program is to allow districts to issues bonds that the federal government will cover the interest cost – thus allowing school districts to be responsible for the principal and not the full interest costs. District 168 qualified to receive $9 million in QSCB for capital improvement and repairs. Having already established a partnership with Energy Systems Group in 2015, the district was ready with identified needs for the buildings. The District shared with the public the needed capital projects that would be considered. The current five priorities to be addressed are:
1. Remodeling Rickover Junior High – Remodeling the existing North East wing and a new Learning Resources Center.
2. New playgrounds at Wagoner and Strassburg
3. Flooring Replacement at all three schools
4. Replace the outdoor track at Rickover
5. Address the entry point of water at each of the buildings. Currently, the district has major expenditures for equipment impacted by the water. By addressing this issue now, it will save the district in the years to come added expense for pipes, boilers, HVAC systems, bathroom equipment, etc.
This opportunity allows the district to make needed repairs now while still being able to maintain a fund balance for other needed future expenditures. Without a budget from the State, the fund balance allows the district to still operate at full capacity at the opening of the 2016-17 school year. The QSCB allows the buildings to be in better quality for our children at the same time. The district has additional priorities, however the five above have been identified as a start point. Board members have also discussed the possibility for a hot kitchen at one of the buildings in the future. Please visit the District Website to view the PowerPoint from the March 21st Board meeting to see additional, more specific information.
As part of the transformation of District 168, the Board of Education is addressing the needs of our students in a holistic way which includes providing the best learning spaces possible. It is the district's goal to use this project in attracting families to Sauk Village to take advantage of the updated buildings and new curricular initiatives supporting our children.

Vision 20/20's policy platform reflects educators from across the state and is representative of opinions from the southern tip of Illinois through the northern Chicago suburbs. Although the City of Chicago operates under a separate school code, they face many similar challenges. This vision is the result of input from over 3,000 key stakeholders, discussions with field experts, and a review of current literature on best practices.
Conscious that no single legislative attempt at school improvement can be developed, implemented, or find success without the support, devotion, and hard work of all stakeholders, Vision 20/20 asks not just for state action, but also for local action and the support of educators across the state to fulfill the promise of public education. On behalf of the over two million schoolchildren in Illinois, we challenge the State Legislature, the Governor, and all stakeholders to take action.
Our organizations contributed their time, insight, and advocacy to the Vision 20/20 process. Together, we are committed to supporting and promoting the priorities of this vision.

Did you know that research has found that very positive things can happen (improved coping skills, better relationships and grades) when parents and caregivers spend at least 15 minutes of undivided time per day talking with and listening to their children? Additional research also reports that children really do look to their parents and caregivers for advice and help about difficult choices and decisions in their lives.
The Administration & Staff of Community Consolidated School District 168 would like to thank each and every school board member for their dedicated service and commitment in ensuring every student receives the best education possible. We thank you for your vision and leadership.

Aliotti, also known as Padre Palermino, worked in Palermo and like his teacher Giovanni Battista Fasolo belonged to the Franciscan Order. In 1671 he moved to Padua and then in 1674 to Ferrara as organist of the lay confraternity Confraternita della Morte. Four of his eleven oratorios survive.[1]

A Barack Obama collectible pen set.
Makes a great gift for collectors and avid supporters of President Barack Obama.
From the man who is the epitome of progressive taste, style and sophistication.
Posted in: America, Barrrys bushisms, Blue State Values, Politics.
The amount of tacky Obama memorabilia that is out there is horrifying. I saw a line of dog accessories like bowls etc. which, given the current shenanigans about his dog-eating past, have occasioned no small amount of mirth. Obama's not really cool, anyway, unless by cool you mean aloof, bordering on autistic.
Use the Barack Obama pen to sign more of your freedoms away to the government.
The so called leader of the free world has been reduced to a cheap brand just like any other 'sleb or thuggish sports "star". Don't that make you feel safer sleeping at night…
Free speech is about the state dictating what is or is not acceptable, it is not about free people freely expressing contempt for contemptible behaviour.
Refusal to finance a platform for thugs to spew their venomous bile does not constitute censorship.
Financing a platform constitutes support.
paraphrased from Lord Vetinari
"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."
You have the right to analyse, criticise, judge, satirise, mock, lampoon and ridicule any belief and opinion to any extent you see fit, without let or hindrance. 'Islamophobia' is a fatuous and intellectually junk term whose combined purposes are to smear the target, deceive listeners and protect Islam from this critical analysis, placing it above all other belief systems in this society – a position to which it has no entitlement.
The sole legitimate role the state has in this matter is to ensure both your freedom to do this, and your security following.
As an aside, this is possibly the best piece of writing I've read in a while. Poignant, moving, and funny as fuck:

Art, Naturally
They've congregated along the banks of Riverbend Park, transferring trees' waterfront reflections to canvas. They've met at the Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge, capturing glimmers of the early-morning sun in person. And now after ten "paint-outs," a local artist group is ready to exhibit (and sell) their works at "Art Outside the Walls: En Plein Air" at the Cultural Council of Palm Beach. En plein air -- French for "in the open air" -- is a style of painting or drawing done outdoors. As in Monet's "Water Lillies" series, working outdoors allows an artist to capture the quality of natural light firsthand. Unlike Monet's works, the pieces for sale will be in your price range. On Thursday, members of the Plein Air Palm Beach artist group will kick off the exhibit with a preview party at 5:30 p.m. The artwork will be displayed in the great indoors of the cultural council's Robert M. Montgomery Jr. Building, located at 601 Lake Ave. in Lake Worth. Admission is $10 for nonmembers and free to Cultural Council of Palm Beach members. Visit palmbeachculture.com, or 561-472-3341.

How to Make Timelapse Videos for Instagram| September 7, 2013
Since Instagram introduced video importing from the camera roll, I've been enjoying sharing condensed timelapses of my lettering process. It's also given me a great excuse to include some of my piano compositions as mini-soundtracks. Though many on Instagram cry "What app?

Thank you for sharing these Knysna* scenes Hazel (I have only one and you could start guessing which one lol) Best wishes, Peter and of course a Y* for this one, Peter
Thank you Peter. This old boat is just asking to be turned into a watercolour painting! I have taken pictures of it from every angle! Thank you for the Y* - so kind of you. Warm wishes, Hazel, Cape Town
Hazel yes it's so picturesque this controlled decay.. all the best to you, Peter
Steve - another visitor and I were taking it in turns to capture this old boat. She is also planning to paint her version of it. It was just asking to be photographed in all its weatherbeaten glory!!
Greetings Hazel ;>)
What is it it about old boats that holds our fascination? but they do for sure!! Like old cars, steam engines, vintage aircraft, old tractors, sepia photos!! the list is endless! Perhaps it is the romantic notion that things were somehow better..Nostalgia plays a big part!!
So maybe for all those reasons I find myself here admiring this relic from the past ;>)
Ironically, the hull is now in far greater danger than it would have been just left in the water!! The drying atmosphere will shrink the timbers, dry out the floors and frames, loosen the nails and eventually it will simply fall apart. It will, however, remain a good subject for the camera lens!!
Lovely image Hazel ;>)
You have a fine gallery here!
Kind regards ;>)
Hi there Jim - thanks a lot for your visit - nice to meet you!! And I had to chuckle when I read your very interesting comments: you are so right about vintage and I think it probably is nostalgia that strikes a cord in us.
Quite by chance, there were two of us pottering around this old hulk with our cameras - both interested in the artistic effects that time and weather had wrought on the wooden hull, while two patient husbands hovered in the background. I am wondering now if my "companion" was also a Panoramio-fan...? Maybe there's another similar boat somewhere in Pano's VAST collection...?
Thank you for your great comments, I do appreciate both your visit and your compliments.
Warm greetings, Hazel-in-a-glow
Hi Hazel Coetzee marvellous!! Thanks a lot for checking out my gallery and leaving such kind words in your comments!! Many thanks for your votes as well:)))) Best wishes from Bangkok sent your way Cheers pivatana
Cool Capture
Great perspective here Hazel. Boats make good subjects, don't you think?
Very beautiful and good picture LIKE Hazel. Greetings from Holland John.

We enjoyed our 4 night stay at this country retreat home very much. We had 7 adults and 8 children in our group. The home met all of our needs in terms of peaceful setting, more than adequate sleeping spaces for meeting each family's needs, space within the home to not feel too crowded , cleanliness, supplies for bathing & for preparing meals, etc. The children especially enjoyed the horses and kittens at the property, and the front yard play set was a nice addition for them as well. We would definitely recommend and/or rent this home again should we be in the area with a large group.
I will provide a few minor maintenance issues that you may want to look into before your next guests arrive:
* Master BR bath on main level - overhead light & exhaust fan is not working
* Back deck light is out
* No batteries in the downstairs remotes (we provided our own)
* Upstairs bathroom door has no way to be easily unlock--yes, one of the kids locked the door and then it got shut! 😳Took us forever to get it undone. Thankfully we had an engineer in our group who found a solution.
* Water pressure in upstairs shower is very low
* W/b nice to have a DVD player in the main level LR over the fireplace since the big screen tv is there.
Thanks for the lovely experience...
We loved the quiet peaceful setting and hospitality provided by the owner. She was always responsive to our needs. We had 10 adults and 12 children. Always felt safe with the kids playing in the yard. The front porch where we all gathered each morning provided great conversation and views of horses, a pond and rolling hills. The house was well stocked with the amenities that we need to make it a comfortable and relaxed vacation.
We booked this rental home for our family to stay together. Our son was getting married and we had to accommodate family members from Florida, New Jersey, California, and Indiana. We had a beautiful week that went beyond our expectations. The house was perfect for all of us. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep and cook together. The house is well stocked and maintained really well. Phyllis was a gem to work with. I highly recommend it for gatherings. We made some great memories and will definitely be back.

Great place for a family gathering!!! This home away from home has everything you could possibly want.. The house was very tidy and clean, the basement had all kinds of things to do like a pool table and fose ball, air hockey. I really enjoyed it.
This was our first time renting a home for a family get together and what a marvelous home we chose; very clean and well-maintained. We stayed the weekend of February 19th and there were 13 of us. The bedrooms were spacious and plenty of closet space for our clothes and more than enough beds for all and then some. Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were. There are 3 1/2 bathrooms and everyone was able to shower without creating a waiting line.
The owner, Phyllis, was terrific! She always responded the same day to our questions. She told us we needed to bring just our food and clothes and she was absolutely right. Everything we needed was provided. The kitchen supplies (pots, pans, utensils, crockpot, griddle, 2 coffee pots, etc) were abundant and so were the towels and bedding, soap, paper products! The dishwasher was certainly a plus along with the washer/dryer. We all enjoyed the pool table and shuffle board. We had enough space for gathering in the living and dining areas and for playing games at the table.
This home is in a picturesque location and the deck off the dining area was great and so relaxing. There was enough seating for everyone. And the beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the front porch were breathtaking.
Our grandchildren had plenty of space to play outside and they loved the horses. The weather was gorgeous this weekend, in the 70's (we are from Michigan, Indiana and Texas). We enjoyed sitting around the firepit at night with our family (there was plenty of firewood). We would certainly recommend this home to our family and friends; you won't be disappointed.

German lawmakers accuse Deutsche Bank co-chief of seeking to influence probe
Senior German lawmakers on Monday accused Deutsche Bank co-chief executive Jürgen Fitschen, already the subject of a local tax-fraud probe, of trying to influence the investigation by calling a senior local politician last Thursday to protest a surprise police raid on the bank's headquarters a day earlier.
A spokesman for Volker Bouffier, governor of the state of Hesse, where Deutsche Bank is based, said that Bouffier declined to intervene in the inquiry after Fitschen contacted him to complain about the prosecutor's action.
Reacting to the revelation, Michael Meister, a senior official in German chancellor Angela Merkel's centre-right party, emphasised the need to "support" the probe and said that the call has left the impression that Deutsche Bank thinks it is "above the law". Social Democratic and Left party leaders, meanwhile, called for a parliamentary investigation and tougher regulation of the bank.

Moran part of bipartisan effort to pay military if government shuts down
In case of a federal government shutdown, U.S. Sens. Jerry Moran, R-Kansas, and Mark Udall, D-Colo., have filed legislation that would ensure the military and National Guard units assisting in disaster recovery will not have their paychecks delayed.
"The financial well-being and readiness of those serving our country must not suffer due to gridlock on Capitol Hill," Moran said.
"Colorado's flood victims and military families shouldn't suffer if Washington gridlock and partisan stalemates lead to a government shutdown," Udall said.
Congress must pass a budget measure to avoid a government shutdown after midnight Monday.
The Republican-controlled House has approved a stopgap funding measure that also de-funds the Affordable Care Act. The Democratic-controlled Senate has vowed to keep funding the ACA and President Barack Obama has said he would veto any legislation that seeks to dismantle the ACA.
Kansas representatives illustrate divide over farm bill
The chasm over the farm bill in Congress is no more evident than in Kansas where six conservative Republicans from an agriculture state are divided on the issue.
On Thursday, the farm bill failed in the U.S. House, splitting the Kansas delegation.
U.S. Reps. Lynn Jenkins, of Topeka, whose district includes Lawrence, and Kevin Yoder, of Overland Park, voted for it, while Mike Pompeo, of Wichita, and Tim Huelskamp, of Hutchinson, were among the 62 Republicans who voted against it. The bill failed in the House, 195-234.
Jenkins blamed the failure in the House on the inability to find common ground.
" … still too many Democrats and Republicans allowed politics to trump progress, and chose to defeat this bipartisan effort. I am truly disappointed by today's vote to accept a badly broken status quo," she said.
The Senate has approved a farm bill, but Kansas' senators were on opposite sides. Jerry Moran voted for it and Roberts opposed it.
In the House, Republicans voting against the bill argued it was too expensive. Most Democrats opposed the measure because it included cuts to food stamps that would have removed as many as 2 million recipients from getting assistance.
The Senate version decreased food stamps by about one-fifth of the House bill. The White House had said it supported the Senate bill and would have vetoed the House bill.
Huelskamp assesses debt ceiling, Boehner
U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Fowler, who has recently made national headlines in his political battles with U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, was in the Statehouse on Monday where he used to serve as a state legislator.
Huelskamp, who represents the Big First, which goes from the western Kansas border all the way to Manhattan and Emporia, took questions about getting removed from the House Agriculture Committee and upcoming battles over raising the debt ceiling.
Asked if there could be a government shutdown if Congress and President Barack Obama fail to agree on a plan to raise the federal government's borrowing limit, Huelskamp said, "There certainly could be if folks aren't serious about the problem."
Huelskamp said Congress needs to adopt something similar to the so-called "cap, cut and balance" plan that he and other tea party-backed Republicans put together in 2011. The plan included large spending cuts and adoption by Congress of a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced federal budget. Obama had said he would veto that plan if it ever landed on his desk.
Huelskamp said House Republicans will meet for a private retreat Wednesday through Friday to come up with strategies and proposals in tax and budget fights.
He said conservatives are upset about the direction of the House and that Speaker Boehner needs to come up with a plan. "The onus is on him to produce good Republican legislation," Huelskamp said.
Last month, the Republican Steering Committee, chaired by Boehner, removed several Republicans, who occasionally bucked leaders, from their committees, including Huelskamp from the Ag Committee.
Huelskamp said he was removed because of his staunchly conservative views. Boehner's office has denied this. Politico reported that one conservative close to party leaders said Huelskamp and the others were removed because they didn't work well with other members.
Huelskamp, whose district is dominated by agriculture, said that while he would prefer to keep his place on the committee, he can work on ag issues in other ways, including his membership on the House Small Business Committee.
Huelskamp was among 12 House Republicans who either abstained or voted against re-electing Boehner as speaker. During the House vote, a photograph published by Politico showed Huelskamp working on an iPad with a document on the screen that had the names of representatives that he hoped would oppose Boehner.
Asked if his run-ins with Boehner could hurt Kansas, Huelskamp said, "If the speaker would like to be petty and vindictive, I mean he might try to do that, but media like yourself are watching very closely, looking for those kinds of things, and we'll be reporting if we think he's punishing Kansas because he doesn't like what people say."
First phase of Hurricane Sandy assistance approved in U.S. House; all four Kansas representatives vote no
The U.S. House just approved the first installment of emergency disaster assistance for victims of Hurricane Sandy.
The measure passed with bipartisan support, 161 Republicans and 193 Democrats, for a total of 354 votes for the bill, and 67 votes, all Republican, against it. All four Kansas representatives — Lynn Jenkins, Kevin Yoder, Tim Huelskamp and Mike Pompeo — voted against the bill.
Here is a link to a story on the passage: http://bloom.bg/S9wHdK
Huelskamp and his iPad in middle of revolt against Boehner
U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Fowler, and his iPad were in the middle of a revolt against House Speaker John Boehner that almost threw the election for speaker to a second ballot. Here is a link to POLITICO's story: http://politi.co/ULaXTJ
Bill averting fiscal cliff includes one-year extension of wind energy tax credit
Supporters of wind energy cheered final passage in Congress of the bill to avert the "fiscal cliff."
The bill included a one-year extension of the wind energy Production Tax Credit for projects that start construction this year.
This statement came from the American Wind Energy Association: "America's 75,000 workers in wind energy are celebrating tonight over the continuation of policies expected to save up to 37,000 jobs and create far more over time, and to revive business at nearly 500 manufacturing facilities across the country."
Gov. Sam Brownback has touted Kansas' growth in wind energy and supported extension of the credit. But he has also called for phasing it out over several years.
Huelskamp's uncompromising positions well-known in Kansas
Recently, U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Fowler, has received a lot of national media attention for his uncompromising positions on the budget and gun control.
But those familiar with Kansas politics have long known about Huelskamp's refusal to budge.
Let's review Huelskamp's December.
Just one month after running unopposed to a second term in Congress, Huelskamp was in the middle of a political firestorm when House Speaker John Boehner kicked him off two crucial committees. Huelskamp lost his position on the House Agriculture Committee, a key assignment for someone representing the ag-dominated Big First district, and the House Budget Committee.
Huelskamp called the move "petty, vindictive politics."
Washington observers said Boehner was exerting discipline against Huelskamp and several other tea party Republicans who had voted against U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan's GOP budget blueprint that passed the House in March and against the 2011 deal between Republican leaders and President Barack Obama for extending the debt ceiling.
As Boehner and Obama negotiate a deficit-reduction plan, Huelskamp has said he will not vote for any deal that includes a tax increase. Huelskamp cheered last week at the failure of Boehner's "Plan B," which would have prevented tax increases for all Americans but million-dollar earners.
Then last week, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough got angry with Huelskamp during an interview when they talked about the mass slayings at the Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Conn. Huelskamp said some were using the shootings to politicize calls for gun control. Scarborough resented that implication.
Nothing new here.
During his 14 years in the Kansas Legislature, Huelskamp was known for getting cross-ways with leaders, even those in his own party.
In 2003, GOP leaders kicked him off the Senate Ways and Means Committee. Then-Senate President Dave Kerr said at the time, "Sen. Huelskamp has been unwilling to apply constructive criticism and positive solutions to the myriad of budget problems of the state. We have no time to deal with anyone who is unwilling to be part of the solution."
But while he was angering Senate Republican leaders, Huelskamp found favor on the national stage.
In 2005, anti-tax leader Grover Norquist named Huelskamp "Hero of the Taxpayer" for fighting against taxes and trying to reduce the authority of the Kansas Supreme Court after the court declared the school finance system unconstitutional and ordered lawmakers to increase school funding.
Norquist even came to Topeka for a news conference to honor Huelskamp. At that press conference, Norquist illustrated the no-tax, no-way philosophy, saying, "Republicans who vote for tax increases are rat heads in a Coke bottle. They damage the brand. They don't just hurt themselves."
Huelskamp was often critical of Gov. Bill Graves, a Republican, and then in 2008 went after Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' son John for creating a prison-themed board game called Don't Drop the Soap.
Last year, some Republican leaders in Kansas voiced concern for putting the city of Manhattan in the 1st Congressional District during redistricting negotiations because they said Huelskamp would have trouble protecting congressional appropriations for the National Bio and Agro-Defense facility. Huelskamp has said he supports funding for NBAF, but his philosophical desire for smaller government has some worried.
In addition to NBAF, the 1st District depends on Medicare reimbursements for rural hospitals and farm subsidies. And while the potential for more wind farms is great in the 1st District, Huelskamp opposes extension of the Production Tax Credit for wind farms.
In June, several people at a town hall meeting in Hutchinson told Huelskamp that he should support the wind tax credit, but Huelskamp replied, "there is no money tree in Washington, D.C."

- Slow down. Simply driving slower can conserve fuel and significantly increase your car's efficiency. That means avoid driving fast on the highway, jackrabbit starts and quick stops. In fact, aggressive driving can lower your gas mileage by 33% at highway speeds according to the Department of Energy.
- Lighten your load. The more weight you carry in your vehicle, the more energy you consume. For example, don't carry golf clubs in your car's trunk everyday if you aren't planning to hit the links.
- Get a tune-up. Be sure to get regular maintenance checks and oil changes, which will help your car use less fuel and cut down on emissions. Check tire pressure, hoses, filters and spark plugs on a regular basis. Cars with well-maintained engines and properly inflated tires could save up to $0.26/per gallon of gas.
- Avoid driving when possible. Of course, avoiding driving altogether is the greenest way to approach transportation. Whenever possible, consider walking or biking to your destination. Take public transportation regularly, or participate in a car sharing program.
- Stay home. Get creative to find ways to keep your car off the road. For instance, plan your dinner menus a week or two in advance and do all your grocery shopping in one trip for one or two weeks. Rather than going out for a movie, make popcorn and watch one at home.

Drink, meet dish, Part 2: A smart Cocktail Week menu at c.1880
I rarely have room in my schedule to attend special pairing dinners, those multicourse events that match dishes with wine, beer or cocktails. But I love 'em; it's such a pleasure to see chefs unleash their creativity and to hear what went into the making of a dish and the spirit, and taste how the food and drink relate.
For the inaugural Milwaukee Cocktail Week, c.1880 in Walker's Point is serving a five-course menu on Monday with drinks made with Great Lakes Distillery spirits. It opens with a riff on a Bloody Mary, in food and drink: »Read Full Blog Post

Skylight takes Beethoven to Bollywood with ferocious 'Fidelio'
The Skylight Music Theatre doesn't have an official mascot, but it might think about borrowing the giant tiger Raghava KK designed for its "Fidelio." The feline could serve as a fitting avatar for the ferocious vitality new artistic director Viswa Subbaraman is bringing to the Skylight.
Subbaraman and his creative team infused this production of Beethoven's only opera with a set design, costumes, movements and gestures drawn from Indian culture and Bollywood. They brought color and movement to an opera that could easily be static on stage, and a liveliness of spirit to a show that could come across as a bit preachy, with its brotherhood-of-man lyrics, while sacrificing nothing musically. »Read Full Article(2)

Oyster Hotel Review
Contemporary boutique hotel with modern Italian accents
The Hotel Indigo Rome is a boutique hotel built inside a classic Roman mansion, complete with blue window shutters, exposed stone, and white columns. Inside, the lobby looks much more modern. The dark wood reception desk is accented with display cases that showcase tiny Italian scooters. There's an adjacent living room space set with a contemporary sofa, chairs, and white ottoman around a fireplace lined with bookshelves. Plants, candelabras, and books fill the shelves. Matching purple velvet armchairs provide a quiet spot to rest near the entrance. Though kids are welcome here, most visitors are couples and business travelers.
A block from the Tiber River, within walking distance of the Piazza Navona, Campo dei Fiori, and numerous restaurants and bars
Hotel Indigo Rome - St. George is in the neighborhood surrounding the Campo dei Fiori, one of the best places to stay in Rome; it's a central spot, it's pedestrian-friendly, and there are a ton of restaurants. An abundance of narrow, winding, cobblestone streets can be found in this area.
Campo dei Fiori is a small charming square that hosts a popular farmers market in the mornings, and turns into a rowdy party scene at night (it's home to several touristy bars). To the north, Piazza Navona, a big, lovely square circled by restaurants, featuring the elaborate Fountain of the Four Rivers with an Egyptian obelisk. The Indigo Rome is less than a 10-minute walk from both squares, as well as several historic churches. The Pantheon is about a 15-minute walk from the hotel, and the Vatican City is over the river. However, Piazza Navona does not have many metro stations and the closest is about 15-minutes away from St. George. Note that parking isn't available at the hotel, but there is a public lot nearby.
Nearby Hotels
Spacious and vibrant with Italian art
Each of the rooms and suites at Hotel Indigo Rome - St. George were redecorated in 2014. They're just as spacious and comfortable as always, but the once understated, neutral decor has been replaced with vibrant colors and art inspired by Italian icons such as Fiat and Caravaggio. The Standard Room has a leather window seat, lightwood laminate floors, and pops of burgundy on the bed and walls. All rooms come with iPod docks, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and stocked minibars. Bathrooms are a nice size (Suites have bathtubs) but there isn't much counter space in the Standard Rooms. ETRO toiletry kits and hairdryers are provided. Lower-level rooms facing the street get occasional noise complaints but have picturesque street views. Those in the back are quieter, and face a courtyard.
Rooms and Rates
Indoor hot tub, Italian restaurant, and free Wi-Fi
Features at Hotel Indigo Rome - St. George are convenient and luxurious. The highlight of the property is free access to the huge hot tub (it's bigger than a lot of plunge pools), sauna, and steam room. A tiny fitness center holds three cardio machines. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, and there are desktop computers for guests to use. An American-style hot and cold breakfast buffet can be purchased as part of a room package, and I Sofa Restaurant serves authentic Roman cuisine for lunch and dinner. The Wine Bar, located under an atrium, is a truly beautiful spot to enjoy Chianti. Room service is also available. In the summer months, the hotel has an outdoor restaurant and bar.

2003 Honda Odyssey Minivan EX-L 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Bought it new as a family van and now has 178,000 miles. In early years, we used it for long trips to Florida, New York, & Canada. Got power and accelerates well. Comfort is fine for local driving but on very long road trips, I wished I had more seat adjustments. The design ambiance is awesome and that's why it's still in our driveway. Had two repaint jobs, one major maintenance overhaul, and transmission was rebuilt once. For many years, this minivan has performed better than I expected. Now that it's 12 years old, our air conditioner acts weird about every 6 months until my mechanic tinkers around with it. We are tough and assertive urban city drivers.
Leather seats are still perfect with no tears nor faded. My wife drove the Odyssey in flooded streets several times and water flowed up to the hood while cars behind her stalled. Still a good looking van with clean lines and aerodynamics. A very durable engine and it probably will last much longer.
For 2003, I only wished the interior a/c vents, 3rd row seat storage compartment door, and back seat handles were stronger because our kids broke them and later ripped it apart. For 2015, it's nice to have a vehicle with several USBs, phone & laptop plugs, navigator, rear view camera, and better sound system. More reliability on the paint and transmission would help, too.
2003 Honda Odyssey Minivan EX-L 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
We were gifted our 2003 Odyssey 3 years ago from a friend when it had 184,000 miles. Now is has 315,000. It's our family workhorse and it's been a dandy. I'd buy another Odyssey for certain. Original engine and auto trans. We stay up on our maintenance and it's been very good. Excellent value. We've got our sights on 500K miles!
Excellent overall quality. Comfortable leather seats that have held up well. Rock solid J35 engine. Very durable.
We had trouble with the ignition key cylinder. Fixed it once then had to replace. Inconvenient and expensive. We've been aware of some transmission issues out there, so we drive it sensibly and stay up on the fluid changes. Also added an inline aux trans filter. So far, so good!
2003 Honda Odyssey Minivan EX-L 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
We own a 2004 Honda Odyssey EX-L van & encouraged our son, with a baby on the way, to purchase a 2003 (147,000 miles) van 5 days ago. We felt it was a great investment for a new family with limited cash. Less than a week & the transmission is slipping between 30-40 mph. These kids don't have the money to fix the issue because the Honda dealer told me a new tranny is thousands of $'s. The private party, who admits to selling cars as his business, will not stand behind the vehicle. Of course Honda is not standing behind these tranny problems. How many times will Honda have to be sued, due to transmission lock-ups causing crashes, before they will take responsibility for the tranny issue?
Our 2004 has treated us well, but after reading reviews on the 2003, we are extremely disappointed in the Honda transmission issues. We are also disappointed in Honda for not standing behind this common issues with their transmissions. We do like the inside size of the van for transporting and moving. It is more spacious, overall, than my dad's dodge grand caravan. There is also definitely more head room. Heated leather seats are awesome and we did add an after market auto start which was well worth the money. It is wonderful to get into a warm van, with heated seats, on a cold Minnesota winter day!
As Honda takes responsibility for their defective airbags, it would be great if they would also take responsibility for their defective transmissions. Also...I am only 5'3" and I find the leg room, in our 2004, to be inadequate. Both my husband (6'2") and I prefer to drive because the leg room, in the passenger area, is too confining and uncomfortable. We are both normal weight. It appears the van was built for very short people. The illumination, for the clock, is also a common and expensive issue to fix. I keep a small light, near the clock, so I can check the time at night.
2003 Honda Odyssey Minivan EX-L 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Purchased 2003 Odyssey new from the dealer (had to preorder because they were in such demand?) NHTSA tranny recall @ dealer 8/2004 w/39,000 miles.
Last week, with 164,000 highway miles (never TOWED) slipping btween 2nd & 3rd gears & lock up 2x on busy highway.
Extremely scary could have been hit and killed. Dealer diagnosed "internal transmission failure". American Honda is useless & tried blaming us.
Dealer agreed to discount AFTER we asked, they never offered.
Inherent well-documented serious tranny problem.
Shame on Honda.
Just traded our '93 Ford Aerostar w/just 157K miles & never had tranny problem.
Wonder why Hyundai is America's #1 Car Dealer....No more Hondas for us!!!
2003 Honda Odyssey Minivan EX-L 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
The 2003 Odyssey EX-L we purchased new about 8 years ago has been a very good, reliable and enjoyable car. I read on the post about all transmission and door problems, etc. but we have not experienced those problems. We drive about 12k miles/year. I'm not saying we're lucky... I think we take care of our car with maintenance, with not driving it hard, etc. This was our first Honda and we don't have anything bad to say about it. It's plenty spacious for the family and all the trips and things we take with us. My 2 cents. it's a great car , but if you get a lemon, you'll have a sour taste in your mouth - (we must have got the cherry)!
Lots of them
No improvements that I can think of

Gigabit Comes to Rural Western North Carolina
At the foot of Mount Mitchell, highest peak east of the Mississippi River, sits the quiet town of Burnsville, North Carolina. People come and go from the textile factory, hikers visit to climb the mountain, and a colorful art scene adds flavor to the community. But in 2009 in the wake of the stock market crash, unemployment in the county rose to 11.9 percent. Burnsville's problems were compounded by the lack of broadband Internet outside of the town-center, which limited its potential growth.
When USDA announced broadband funding as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Burnsville-based Country Cablevision saw an opportunity to expand and upgrade their existing Internet service in Mitchell and Yancey Counties. Read more »
