- finger-sized piece fresh root ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
- 8 garlic clove, peeled
- 400g can cherry tomatoes
- 750g golden caster sugar
- 250ml red wine vinegar
Tip the peppers, chillies (with seeds), ginger and garlic into a food processor, then whizz until very finely chopped. Scrape into a heavy-bottomed pan with the tomatoes, sugar and vinegar, then bring everything to the boil. Skim off any scum that comes to the surface, then turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for about 50 mins, stirring occasionally.
Once the jam is becoming sticky, continue cooking for 10-15 mins more, stirring frequently so that it doesn't catch and burn. It should now look like thick, bubbling lava. Cool slightly, transfer to sterilised jars, then leave to cool completely. Keeps for 3 months in a cool, dark cupboard – refrigerate once opened.

Amazing recipe..I have been wowing friends & family with this for a few yrs after finding it on here, Its on the stove again and its already smells devine...50 mins cooking is rubbish I end up cooking for hours and I mean hours until it thickens but stay with it and you will be amazed by the results :)
I forgot to say, when I make the recipe as is I normally get 4 or 5 jam jars out of this, sometimes 6. When I triple it I get 10-12 jam jars. It all depends on how big the chillies are, how long you cook it for etc. For me, this is the perfect jam/chutney - sweet and with a kick but NOT blow your socks off hot!
Triple batch - in case anyone was wondering. I grow chillies and peppers and have gluts so make triple batches of this fabulous recipe - by far the best chilli jam recipe I've found - as per the following tweaks. I usually make 2 x triple batches, one for jam and one for chutney. Points: 1. It's the same recipe to make jam or chutney. For jam, when you're blitzing the ingredients in a processor blitz them finely then sieve the juice from them as this is bitter. For chutney, just blitz them a couple of seconds so they're still a bit chunky. 2. You can swap the red chillies and peppers for green ones and, instead of using tinned tomatoes, use green tomatoes (peeled and deseeded first) for a greener colour. 3. When this recipe says simmer for 50 mins (for the original amount) if you do simmer it will take a lot longer. I always keep at a slight boil ie a few blobs on the surface. Ingredients for triple batch: 800g (about 20) small peppers, 200g (about 35) small chillies, 3 finger lengths ginger, 15 cloves of garlic, 1kg sugar (I use ordinary white granulated), 750ml vinegar (red wine vinegar is expensive, any vinegar will do as long as it's above 5% acidity - though malt vinegar will give a darker and not as pretty a jam). 1.2kg tinned tomatoes (ie 3 x 400g tins). Blitz, bring to a boil, keep at a rolling boil for about 2 hours. It will be very runny to start with but will thicken up. Note that this is not a fruit jam and is not supposed to set firm like jam - you should be able to spoon it out of the jar. So, you do not need to see a line at the bottom of the pan as per making jam. If you use all red to make jam this will give you a dark red colour, if you've left it chunky for chutney it will be slightly browner with chunks of colour. If you have a mix of red and green even better - more colour. I never, ever, triple batch when making fruit jam as it never sets. This, however, doesn't need to and is fab. The only hard part is preparing the veg. Thanks for a fab recipe - in my little book forever! Hope this helps x
This isn't an actual jam and with the vinegar is technically more of a chutney. Therefore, don't expect it to set. Cook it gently as all you're doing is letting the vinegar evaporate. And don't forget that the sugar is there as a preservative so you can't reduce it too far. I cooked it in a wide, shallow non stick pan and it took well over an hour, but I kept an eye on it while doing other stuff.
I made this last year, largely following the recipe, and it was great stuff. This year, I've put in piles of chillies as had loads at once from the polytunnel - about 400g by weight, 3 big green/red peppers (home grown too) which I think must weighed in at about 700g (about the same as 5 normal sized ones I'd guess), about 40g of garlic and a big lump of ginger (probably about 70g). Then rather than tinned tomatoes I used three big beefsteak style toms from the garden which I blitzed first (about 400g as recommended). I was aiming to make the recipe as described but with more of a kick, and it did the trick - great consistency, fiery hot, and easy to make by blending everything first. Mine was done in about an hour, but I'm sure this is largely dependant on how fast you're boiling it etc.
Absolutely wonderful stuff. I doubled everything in the recipe but kept the sugar the same. I also used dried ginger and ordinary tinned tomatoes and it still turned out lovely. I had to cook it for a good hour and a half. Everyone loves it and as soon as my broken shoulder has healed I'll make some more.
Lovely recipe. I reduced the amount of sugar as suggested by other people. I think the disparity in the length of time the jam takes to thicken is caused by the sentence "then turn the heat down to a simmer" - jam needs to be cooking with a rolling boil - simmering will take ages as it's just not hot enough.
I don't normally comment on recipes, but I had to for this one. Have just made a batch as I thought it would go wonderfully with all the Christmas leftovers. My hubby has continued to eat this out of the pot so I am going to have to make some more. It is very sweet, but we have a sweet tooth so that is really not a problem. I would highly recommend, and it is so simple to make.
Well have just completed by first attempt at this recipe and it's looking and tasting good. Although a bit hotter than I expected (having said that my chillies were a bit on the big side). Cooking time was longer than stated on the recipe and having read previous reviews I did reduce the amount of sugar in the jam.
WoW - This tastes amazing straight away so after a few weeks it should be awesome!!
Don't be tempted to scrimp on the chillis folks - even I, who likes a bit of heat, thought 'TEN chillis?! Okaaay..' & whilst picking ten fiery li'l devils off my chilli plant, thought I'm the only one who's going to eat this....
As said, it has a kick but not head-blowing-off style - Really good simple recipe!
** I took the tip from a commenter to use 550g of sugar & it works fine ***
The first time I made this I thought it would never set so rather than be patient I sieved the jam and was left with 5 small pots of jam ( which went thick when cold) and 4 small pots of sweet chilli sauce to cook stir fries etc. I use 1 x scotch bonnet chilli and 5 birds eye ones as I like it with a real kick.

Press Release Detail
Lavigne Serves on Review Panel for National Initiative
Dr. Jill Lavigne, Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice and Administration in the Wegmans School of Pharmacy, served on a technical review panel for the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation's (CMMI) Bundled Payments Initiative at CMMI in Baltimore, Maryland on September 27 and 28.
Currently, Medicare makes separate payments to providers for the services they provide to patients, which leads to fragmented care with very little coordination across providers and health care settings. Research shows that bundled payments can align incentives for providers to work more closely across all specialties and settings that a patient may encounter. Additionally, the research shows that if providers collaborated more, the patient's experience would improve during a hospital stay in an acute care hospital, and during post-discharge recovery. The CMMI's Bundled Payment Initiative is working toward that solution.

Mark Albury: Adventures of AquamanJuly 15,2013
In February, I wrote a column about the questionable decision to sign up for a triathlon. As you may recall, at the time I described a triathlon as a four-event competition consisting of swimming, biking, running and dying. Well Im happy to report that last week I followed through and competed in the Tupper Lake Tinman Triathlon, in Tupper Lake, N.Y. The good news is that I did not participate in the last event of dying, and actually finished the race.
The bad news is that it was easier to keep track of my time with a calendar than a clock.
To ensure that no one confused me for a rational person, rather than signing up for my first triathlon with beginner distances, Tupper Lake was a Half Ironman competition. This event entailed swimming 110 miles, biking 56 miles, and running 14 miles. OK, Im exaggerating. The run was only 13.1 miles. And the swim only seemed like 110 miles. I was encouraged to sign up for the race by a 26-year-old co-worker who played to my ego. It would have behooved me, before agreeing to do it, to remember that this woman was born around the time George W. Bush was telling voters to read his lips. I, on the other hand, entered this world during the Eisenhower administration.
Once I made the commitment to compete in the race I decided a certain amount of training was in order. I was comfortable biking and running, but with swimming I was like a fish out of water. So I spent a lot of time at Vermont Technical Colleges indoor pool. One day, after two months of visiting the facility, I was interrogated by the lifeguard.
Sir, youve been coming here for a long time now. Dont you want to get in the water? he grilled me. You are welcome to go in the water and swim, if you would like.
Obviously my good friend with the red life preserver did not see merit in my plan to learn to swim by osmosis.
OK, Ill be back, I informed him.
The next day, I packed swim trunks and started training in earnest. Unfortunately, the pool was in Randolph, and so I lost even more training time. Before you could say Michael Phelps, the triathlon was a few short weeks away.
When asked by a friend about the pending competition I expressed my concern with the minor glitch of possibly drowning.
Youre going to wear a wetsuit, arent you? Everyone wears them, he said.
What do they cost?
$300, was his response.
There is nothing that you can say that will make me spend $300 for a wetsuit, I stated.
It will make you more buoyant and less likely to sink
Later that afternoon I was in a sports shop in Burlington forking over three Benjamins for a skintight neoprene outfit.
When race day came, I approached the water and saw a bunch of competitors at the lakes edge. I pointed to a buoy in the water. So we just have to swim around that buoy and back and thats it for the swim? I asked. These two athletes must have been nervous, because they starting laughing hysterically.
Thats where we start, one guy informed me.
You have to swim around that buoy way out there, the other competitor said, pointing to a distant dot on the horizon not quite as far away as San Francisco, but at least as far as Flagstaff, Ariz..
When the starting gun went off, it was complete mayhem. I was like a salmon swimming against the current trying to get back to my car while several hundred lemmings jumped into the water and starting flailing furiously.
I got turned around and ended up in the lake. And then a funny thing happened. Due in part to the wetsuit, I floated on the surface. In fact, I was, albeit very slowly, actually moving forward slightly. So for the next hour, I swam behind the others and got closer to my destination. When I finally climbed on shore, I felt like I had just scaled Everest. I was elated, relieved, and ready to go home.
The joy of the moment was immediately interrupted by the sound of a race official. Get on your bike, and follow the marked route, he said.
Three plus hours later I finished the ride, and started running, and eventually I crossed the finish line. It was a full day of activity, and all in all, a lot of fun. In fact, it was so enjoyable that I may decide to do it again one day.
But If I do, I think I will need to learn to swim the crawl. The doggy paddle just isnt cutting it.

Movie and television star James Garner has died, police told The Assoicated Press. He was 86.
Garner is best known as the star of the 1970s television show "The Rockford Files," although he acted in many movies, including "The Notebook."
According to TMZ.com, police say an ambulance was dispatched to the actor's home in Los Angeles around 8 p.m. Saturday and he was dead when they arrived. His cause of death wasn't immediately known.
Garner first came to fame in 1957 as the star of the TV western "Maverick," playing Bret Maverick. He left the show in 1960 and took roles in movies through the 1960s and early 70s. In 1974, he took the role of Jim Rockford on the TV detective show "The Rockford Files," winning an Emmy in 1977. He left the show in a dispute over distribution of profits and the show ended in 1980.
He appeared in several movies during the 1980s and 90s, including "Murphy's Romance" in 1985 for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. In 1993, Garner was lauded for his performance in the TV movie "Barbarians at the Gate." In 1994, he performed opposite Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster in the movie adaptation of "Maverick." He appeared in "Space Cowboys" in 2000 and "The Notebook" in 2004.
Garner is survived by his wife, Lois, to whom he was married since 1956; daughter Greta "Gigi" Garner; and an adopted daughter, Kimberly, from his wife's first marriage, according to Variety.

This is the chess set that reassigns courtroom adversaries to the jurisprudence of the chessboard. The prosecution and the defense are represented by the iconic characters of law: The king of the courtroom is a bewigged judge with his queen, blind Lady Justice. Their bishops are attorneys clutching their legal briefs, flanked by the dour-faced bailiff knights, who cross their arms at the slightest rustle in the gallery. The rooks are stacks of gavel-topped books, and the pawns are a partial jury of eight seated deliberators. The unique board mimics the raised bench and jury box of a courtroom with starting position rows rising in two steps above the chamber floor. Pieces are handcrafted from cold-cast bronze, and the board is constructed of cold-cast bronze and Italian travertine tile. 5" H x 19" W x 18" D. (25 lbs.)

Finishing Up
Patel, Reich, Agawu
I'm sitting here finishing up my paper on the role of music and language in the memories conveyed by Steve Reich's speech-melody tape works like It's Gonna Rain, and I realized that the primary theorist around whom I'm framing my argument is the father of one of my very close Haverfriends, Senyo Agawu '13. Senyo and I share relentless interest in music and psychology, so I should have figured that the Agawu (Kofi) that authored "The Challenge of Semiotics" about the interrelations between music and language was related to the Agawu that I know. It never crossed my mind.
Speaking of my mind, it is pretty one-track these days. Luckily, that track is music, so it is kind of hard to get sick of it. In my struggle to finish my Reich paper, I needed to find something relevant (obviously) and interesting (also obvious, but at this point, I needed something interesting to keep myself awake) to bolster my argument. What else but the neuroscience of music and language, and memory encoding? In my search for appropriate articles, I came across one by none other than Dr. Aniruddh Patel, for whom I will be working this summer, called "Language, Music, Syntax, and the Brain." So, here I am, sitting in a computer lab across from Senyo, listening to the birds chirp and wishing they'd stop, but getting through, still, with thoughts of my summer.
Side note: the linguistic study of syntax looks pretty wild, judging from my Google image search of syntax diagrams.
Wish i were.
Wish this could be true.

NYknicks15 you keep saying that we are going to get KG but I'll believe it when I see it. This season, like the seasons before added up to nothing. We have a spark in the rookies but they are being weighed down by the crappy players with big contracts. You said that the team is going to have a big summer, you have more hope than I do.
Whoever said that with this team the Knicks can't even win the NCAA tournement coming up next month is right.

- Abstract
- Silicate glass and glass-silicon nitride composite coatings were atmospheric plasma sprayed onto mild carbon steel substrates under varying process parameters such as torch power and H2/Ar ratios. The x-ray analysis revealed that Si3N4 in the composite coatings could be preserved under the harsh environmental conditions of the plasma spray process. The presence of Si3N4 as the reinforcement phase to the glass matrix conferred higher hardness properties to the coatings.

A Dream Come True…
They Did It
-Sigh- It's over. All of it. The championship, the season, the parade, it's all over now. And I couldn't be more proud. Sorry I waited so long to cover this amazing story. But I think now I might be able to think about it without crying.
The game itself was great. Andy Pettitte just did what he always did and pitched brilliantly. Joba Chamberlain came out of the bullpen with that fire that made him so dominant back in 2007. And what about Damaso Marte? He really was something else this posteason. In that game 6, he faced two batters: Utley and Howard, and struck them both out on three pitches.
After Marte got one out in the 8th, I knew what was coming. I heard that song, you know what song, and I started to get a little bit excited. When Mo comes in, you know it's over. 5 outs? No problem.
The Yankees scored 7 runs in this win and 6 of them were courtesy of Hideki Matsui. The other was from an RBI single by Tex. And doing off Pedro? Priceless.
Wow. This could have been Hideki's last game with the Yanks. I sure hope not. But if so, great job, Godzilla. You will always be remembered, Mr. World Series MVP.
I cried three different times during this game. The first time was when Mo entered the game, because I knew we were going to do it. The second time was when Victorino hit that pathetic grounder to Cano, who fired to Tex for the final out, which led to the celebration. The last time was during that video at the end of the postgame with that "Empire State of Mind" song by Jay-Z with the images of the Yankee postseason. It just reminded me of what they did to get here. And it reminded me that it is all over. The Yankees did it. They did it all. And no one can take that away from them, or from me.
Oh, Andy. Will we see you again next year? Please say yes :)
Just look at them! Like little boys….
Hi Cervelli!
Okay I was wrong. I can't think about it yet without crying. I don't think I ever will be able to. I mean, they did it. THE YANKEES WON THE WORLD SERIES. I don't have to worry about when I stole that pen anymore. The curse is over. No more worries about Alex Rodriguez or CC Sabathia in the postseason. Everything is perfect in the world of Yankee fans.
One thing is very sad. The parade was the last time that this great, magical team will be together. Some guys are going to go. It's sad. I love this team. More than I have ever loved anything. I've been with them for the whole ride. It is going to be very hard to say goodbye.
Yankees, I want to say thank you once again. But I think you know by now. I'll make this quick: I love you all so much. You gave me a great season, a season I will never forget. And I will never forget this special team. Thank you for making my dream come true.

=( I hate thinking about the fact that this group of guys isn't gonna be the same next season. I absolutely HATE it. Even though I wanna be in a good mood because they won it all, I can't help but be sad because this season is officially over. *sigh* That parade was amazing though. I really wish I could've gone. Ugh. 95 more days until we can get back into the groove of things. I just hope 2010 brings us more additions than subtractions to this team!
I think Cash is going to do the best he can to keep this team together. We have a solid core group of players and I think we can repeat if we keep them. I think we can even if we don't, but that's the optimist in me *right now*.
The game was amazing, the parade was awesome….it was the perfect capper to a fantastic season. I mean, the first year we sign CC, AJ and Mark….we win the World Series. That goes a long way to showing just how instrumental they were in getting us where we are now.
In Cash we trust. 😉
Your right, it's a dream come true. Exactly 8 years before the Yankees won this world series, the Yankees lost the 2001 world series in game 7, a night Buster Olney called "The Last Night of The Yankee Dynasty." 8 years later, we experience "The First Night of The Yankee Dynasty." Let's hope it's true!
It's been a great season and thanks for being so loyal to my blog. Should be a good off season and a lot of fun to blog about. There will be a lot of questions and opinions going around. Should be fun!
— NYColeman
It still confuses me why a guy with a FOX microphone has to be in on the celebrations…. but it's always a time when players you like leave and new ones emerge, you just hope that the new ones deliver and give you the excitement as those that were there before them…

I guess we will have to say goodbye to Damon or Matsui (or both). Who knows. I'll be sad to see them go for sure. I only hope whoever replaces them is as good – and fits into the chemistry of the team as well as they did. I love them all!

Mathematically Challenged
If I were a Tiger fan (ahem, Allen Krause) I would go the airport, buy a ticket to the most remote war-torn nation, find a spot of uninhabited land, dig a hole, get in it, and light myself on fire. Okay, maybe I wouldn't take the time to dig a hole, but I would certainly light myself on fire. At the very least I would kick down Dave Dombrowski's door and demand he give me a refund for my hard-earned money, hopes, dreams. Because as much as the Tigers stole the headlines away from the evils of New York, Boston and L.A. during this past offseason, they sure are reneging on every dime invested. Yeah, yeah, I know. There are still 155 games remaining in the season but their lackluster performance and the sheer absence of urgency in their play proves to me that their season is pretty much in the can. I suppose they'll get hot at some point and make a little noise but by then it will be too little too late. In essence, the 2008 Tigers are the baseball equivalent of the Clinton campaign — great resume, great talent, would probably do a decent job, but so far behind there is no possible way they can win it all. So do us all a favor and get out of the race so we can concentrate on the important stuff, like the teams that are winning.
What surprises me is Leyland doesn't seem to be too upset. Where's the screaming and yelling? Where's the blow-up at the press conference? Where are the cigarette burns on Jason Grilli's rubber arm?
Bench Magglio. Sit Cabrera. Weld Granderson's hand back together. I know it's not the popular thing to do. I know you didn't spend 140 million dollars to sit your franchise players — but you sure didn't spend 140 million to be the only team in the Majors without a win thus far. Tick people off. Light some fires under some tooshies. Get 'em motivated for crying out loud.
The Royals are motivated. They beat the Evil Empire today to go to 5-2 on the young season, even with the White Sox, who (ahem), destroyed the Tigers on national television Sunday night. Heck, even Baltimore's fired up. At 6-1 they probably feel like they're cheating their fans by actually being worth the price of admission. Allen could've been one of those fans, but he said he would eschew the whole Oriole scene because they were "terrible".
Terrible is what the Tigers will be thought of when this season is over. After Boston they have to come to the Southside. Then they face the Twins, Indians and Blue Jays next week before they get somewhat of a breather with the Rangers (though I'm pretty sure they'll find a way to lose that series too). But then it's on to play the Angels and Yankees and by the beginning of May they could possibly be worse than the 1988 Baltimore Orioles who forever live in infamy for losing their first 21 games of the season. Don't feel bad, at least you and all your Hockeytown brethren have four months of NHL playoffs to look forward to, eh?
But who really cares about the Tigers anyway? Why am I spending so much time talking about these overpaid losers? How 'bout a proven winner, how 'bout those Cardinals! The old adage you're only as good as your pitching still rings true (just ask the Yankees) and the Cards have been getting brilliant outing after brilliant outing to start the year. With Carp and Mulder on the DL and Matt Clement still rehabbing, it has been a pleasant surprise to see Kyle Lohse (who didn't even have a job in the Big Leagues at the beginning of March) come through and pitch the hell out of the number two spot. Wainwright has been stellar. Wellemeyer, Thompson and Looper have all added to that super-impressive team ERA. In their win tonight, Anthony Reyes (a bonafide Tiger killer, see '06 WS, Game 1) gave them three scoreless innings in relief, which gave Glaus enough time to drive in two big runs.
I've been watching these guys every day and I've noticed something you'll never see in any box score: they really believe in themselves. Even if no one else does, they do. They just do. And they don't care what anyone else says or thinks in regards to their less-than-stellar-on-paper rotation. They have spark, they have guts, and they're having a ton of fun.
And isn't that what it's all about?
I feel alive again. Al, you better check to see if you still have a pulse.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Jeff, I agree. It does look like the Redbirds are out there having fun. I think the addition of new players, officially ending the TLR/Rolen fued in the clubhouse and transitioning to a younger group of players has gotten the Cardinals focusing on playing the game and having fun. I honestly think that Ankiel has really motivated the clubhouse and brought that love back to the game.
I think Detroit really needs Granderson back patrolling Centerfield. He is also a player that plays the game how it should be played and can really help them out in the lead off spot.
We'll see. However, I am enjoying this start to the MLB season.
Leyland's from the Vince Lombardi school of not flipping out on his team when everyone else is dumping on them. Piling on and benching his stars won't help. If the Tigers are going to win, they're going to need their hitters to hit, and that's the problem right now. Dombrowski had to do the Cabrera/Willis deal, but as I said a couple of days ago, they would likely have held onto Jair Jurrjens and not gotten Renteria if they'd known that the Marlins deal would fall to them, and they had to gut the system to get it done. They're going to start hitting sooner rather than later; their hitters are veterans with proven track records too good to continue playing like this.
Tim — I agree on the Ankiel tip. HGH or not, the guy is a great story and I see the organization and the fans (us) riding on the emotion of it all.
Paul — When is it too late? I don't expect the Royals and Sox to keep up their torrid pace; however, I didn't expect them to start this way either, so what do I know? The Tigers are getting in too deep IMHO. How do you motivate great hitters (Cabrera, Ordonez) to hit when they're simply not? The biggest problem (for me) is that in watching them play, I haven't seen any sense of urgency. Still smiling and cracking jokes in the dugout, this sends the wrong message to fans (especially my poor Tiger fan friend, Allen).
Thanks for leaving the comment with the excerpt, Jeff – forwarded to our Bullpen (producers) for consideration. Have fun,

- Abstract
- This work reports on the structural and microstructural characterization of a new class of α-hopeite microparticles, which has recently been discovered as ideal seeding agents for the formation and functionalization of metal organic framework (MOF-5) crystals. The particles have been named desert rose microparticles (DRMs), as their morphology closely resembles that of the famous gypsum and Barite mineral. The DRMs form directly inside the MOF-5 precursor solution when a block copolymer surfactant, Pluronic F-127, is added in specific amounts. The particles formation is remarkably fast, and particles are observed to form within the first minute of reaction. The DRMs formation and growth has been monitored along a 3 h synthesis, until the first nuclei of MOF-5 start to appear on their surface. Electron microscopy, energy dispersive analysis, electron diffraction, FTIR, FT-Raman, and BET give an all-around description of the chemical and morphological features that give the DRMs their remarkable MOF-seeding capacity.

She likes the outdoors — a taste acquired when she was born on a day in late September in a homesteader's dugout in eastern New Mexico — 102 years ago.
Delma doesn't recall many of the details about her early life. She remembers the tin roof, that her parents got a land grant of 640 acres and that, later, her father expanded his land to 5,000 acres. "I have to think too far back," she says and laughs.
A few years later, according the family legend, her father lost the farm in a poker game but gained a bar.
He moved his family to Purves, a small town in Erath County, Texas.
Two memories are non-erasable.
The first: When she was "around 12," walking in a field where she used to pick cotton, a copperhead snake bit her on the hand. She still has the scar.
The second: on her first day of high school in Dublin, a young man named Doyle Hair sat behind her in class. "He touched me on the shoulder and said 'when we grow up, I'm going to marry you.'"
They did, and he did.
She was graduated from Dublin High School in 1928 as captain of the girls basketball team — which won the state championship.
Today, she is the only surviving member of the team. A few years ago, she had the winning trophy refurbished and donated it to the high school.
Delma was married on Christmas Eve of 1928.
"That was the date, wasn't it?" she asks her son, Doug. "I don't know; I wasn't there," he replies, and everyone laughs.
Doyle was in the oil business, working when and where the industry demanded. In short order, the couple lived in Humble, Andrews, Miranda City and Welder. Delma remembers one instance when they were in a new residence for only hours before Doyle came home and announced, "We have to move. In the early 1930s, at the eight of the Great Depression, the couple settled in Pawnee.
Her son, Doug, was born in Kenedy; Doylene was born in San Antonio.
"Tell him about the old truck," Matilda Isaacks suggests to Delma. "It didn't have a clutch. You used to use an old broomstick stuck through the floorboard to shift."
"Oh yeah," Delma smiles.
As his children grew older, Doyle decided enough was enough. Remembering when his job forced him to move five time in one year, after 18 years with the Magnolia Petroleum Company, he quit, bought 80 acres and farmed.
"He said all that moving was no way to raise children," Delma remembers.
On a morning in early October, in handy reach of a bowl full of Butterfingers and other candy, she is stretched out on a recliner in her living room, dressed up to the nines to be photographed and then interviewed by Matilda — local historian, the Bee-Picayune's Pawnee correspondent for more than 60 years and one of Delma's dearest friends.
Their lifelong friendship began when Matilda was in the first grade, where she met Doylene, Matilda's daughter.
"The other kids called us sisters," Matilda remembers.
If, during the conversation, Delma couldn't remember exact details, Isaacks filled in. For her, compiling Delma's history is both vocation and advocation.
At one point, Matilda and Doug began a long clarification about places and dates. Delma, left out of the conversation, interrupted.
"I'm still here!"
"Delma," Isaacks asks, "How long have I known you?"
"About my whole life," she answers.
"Delma used to do needlework. I can remember when she used to sew a blouse every week, hem stitching, no less. I used to share blouses with Doylene when we were in the sixth grade."
Delma and Doyle lived in a number of places in Pawnee until, in 1976, they built the house on the top of the hill south of town.
Two years later, the home was the focal point of the community for the couple's 50th wedding anniversary.
For years, both Delma and Matilda were active in church: Matilda as pianist at the First United Methodist; at the First Baptist Church, Delma as mission leader, Bible study leader, Vacation Bible School principal for 16 years and leader of the girls auxiliary. "She ran the church; she fed the minister. She was always running," Isaacks says. "You had to hold her down."
Her church family was there for support when Doyle died in 1981.
That was the year her children gave her a gift to take her mind off her loss. In a whirlwind tour, she visited London, Paris, Switzerland and Italy ...and insisted on wearing high-heel shoes on cobblestone streets.
In 2003, during Hurricane Claudette, Delma was afraid the fiberglass roof of her back-door patio would be blown off. She decided to weight it down with bricks. She fell, breaking the bones in a shin.
While recuperating, she refused the use of a wheelchair. "That's for old people," she said. She was 93.
"At 95, she was still waiting on people at the church," Isaacks says.
Four years ago, Delma fell and broke her hip — often a death sentence for someone 98.
Not Delma.
"She's stubborn," Doug says. "She doesn't like to take medicine, and she doesn't like to see doctors."
But as the years lengthened, both Delma and Matilda began to slow down. Delma uses the despised wheelchair; Matilda relies on a walker. Both depend on home health assistance.
The last time Delma attended church was last Mother's Day.
Matilda, who is 80, does what she can to bring the church to her. She searches the various bookshelves in the living room for a Baptist hymnal.
"You know I can't carry a tune," Delma protests.
"That's all right; sing along with me."
The lifelong friends begin singing hymn 260, "When We Walk With the Lord." Isaacks conducts the impromptu concert, keeping time with her hand.
Their voices echo through the living room that is liberally decorated with photos — an aerial view of the home — a proclamation from Gov. Perry celebrating Delma's 100th birthday, the purple-and-white basketball jacket she won when her team won state.
Tucked away among the collection is a fading copy of a poem by Helen Steiner Rice, known as the poet laureate of inspirational verse.
There is no night
without dawning
and I know that my
morning is near.
Delma leafs through a weary family Bible resting on an end table. Between the cracked and worn covers are notes and newspaper clippings of memories fading and faded.
"I love you so much," Matilda says, her eyes growing moist.
"I know you do," Delma replies. "You are the daughter that I needed."

Tag: 54 percent of rich Floridians are 65 or older
How Floridians become multimillionaires

I've a number of friends who figure that their road to riches will come via the Florida Lottery or Powerball. Odds aren't so hot for either get-rich strategy although each does keep people dreaming.
Then there are the folks who hope their riches will come thanks to marrying well. This hope I've heard from men as well as women. Of the ones I know who have successfully pulled that one off, the one piece of advice they share is that you pay for every cent you've married into.

1980: The Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope network in New Mexico is dedicated. The VLA is arranged in a "Y" pattern, with nine antennas on each of the three arms. Each of the 27 antennae is a fully-steerable 82-foot diameter, parabolic dish, weighing about 230 tons. Information from all of its antennas is combined mathematically to produce resolving power equal to that of a single antenna as much as 22 miles in diameter. The VLA has made key observations of black holes and protoplanetary disks around young stars, discovered magnetic filaments and traced complex gas motions at the Milky Way's center.

Waukesha - A proposed amendment to an agreement for Oak Creek to sell Lake Michigan water to the City of Waukesha will put the plan back on track after a one-month delay, Waukesha Water Utility General Manager Dan Duchniak said Friday.
The revision clarifies how Waukesha's future rate payments to Oak Creek will be determined, Duchniak said. The amendment is intended to reassure Oak Creek that it will be paid rates that reimburse it for full costs of the service.
The Oak Creek Water & Sewer Commission will review the proposal Tuesday.
Both the Oak Creek and Waukesha common councils are scheduled to adopt the amended agreement at separate meetings on Nov. 20. The Waukesha council discussed the amendment Thursday night in a closed-door session.
Rate payments unexpectedly became an obstacle to sealing the deal in early October when the Wisconsin Public Service Commission ruled Oak Creek could not bill Franklin for providing adequate volume and pressure for fighting fires as part of its wholesale charges to the community.
Oak Creek water officials subsequently declined to sign Waukesha's agreement out of concern that Oak Creek could no longer recover full costs of providing water service to its wholesale municipal customers.
Waukesha will become Oak Creek's largest customer if the eight Great Lakes states approve Waukesha's request to switch to a lake wa ter supply.
Waukesha is asking Wisconsin and the other seven states for approval to divert up to an average of 10.9 million gallons of lake water a day by 2050 across the subcontinental divide separating the Lake Michigan and Mississippi River watersheds. In 2010, the city's average daily demand from its wells was nearly 6.7 million gallons of water a day.
Nearly all of the lake water sold to Waukesha must be returned to the lake as treated wastewater, under terms of a Great Lakes protection compact.
Waukesha would stop using deep wells drawing radium-contaminated water from sandstone if the Great Lakes request is approved unanimously by the states.
Waukesha would spend an estimated $183 million to build pipelines and pumping stations to bring water inland from Oak Creek and return treated wastewater to the lake.
Oak Creek agrees to supply Waukesha an average of 7 million gallons per day beginning later in this decade, under terms of a letter of intent. Wholesale rates offered to Waukesha are estimated at $1.90 per 1,000 gallons of water.
To pay the costs of establishing a lake water supply, average monthly residential water bills in Waukesha would climb to $58.26 by 2022, up $32.26 a month from this year, according to a Waukesha Water Utility analysis.
All other water options, including drilling more wells, would be more expensive and less sustainable than a lake supply, Duchniak said.

Yeah, very effective. Let's hope the album delivers after such a promising trailer. It seems set to be a really dark album.

Tastemaker: Turning a house into a home
A conversation with interior designer Sharon Carroll by Jane Bollinger
Sharon Carroll is an interior designer.
She helps create personal living spaces that reflect the kinds of lives her clients want to enjoy in their homes. The job involves more than constructing functional spaces that meet the homeowners' needs; Carroll also wants her clients fulfill their personal desires for finding fun activities and pleasurable pastimes to enjoy in their homes. Fun, enjoyment and pleasure are important words in Carroll's working vocabulary.
In the life of any homeowner, a construction or remodeling project, or a makeover (whether large or small), is a big decision, and throughout the process, Carroll not only is the project planner and coordinator, the one who oversees a team of subcontractors, she's also a listener and a hand-holder to her clients.
An interior designer is not the same as an interior decorator, who helps find and choose furniture and window treatments, make decisions about fabrics, colors and accessories. As Carroll explains the difference, "Designing is a systematic approach to a creative process. The end result interprets the occupants' taste in an attractive, functional space."
Many of Carroll's clients are what we locals call "second homers," but much of the advice she has to offer and the philosophy she advocates also offer a good foundation for "first homers," who are taking on similar projects.
Recently we asked Carroll to share some of her philosophy about designing a living space.
Q: What do you see as the goal when you take on a project for a client?
A: Obviously the primary goal is to get the project done right, and as close to on-time and on-budget as possible. But besides that, each person has a time of the year, or a season, or a couple of weeks or weekends when they can get away, when their work life or personal life is slower, less hectic. Quite often it ends up that part of my job is assisting that person to make plans for how to have fun, unwind, kick back and enjoy their personal time more fully in their home. Especially while the process is going on, I want them to let me worry about moving their project forward.

What we were looking for... by VW from Illinois
The roller shade we bought was as we expected. The color was good on our MLB shade (the red was red, etc.) We did run into a snag because the chain loop that operates the shad was too long for the window, preventing the tensioner from working properly. They sent us a new clutch/bead assembly (it's all one unit) with no instructions on how to repair, and because I was now unsure of their customer service, I was afraid of breaking our expensive shade irreparably. Two phone calls and two YouTube videos later, I was able to swap out the clutches. The customer service was initially poor, but they recovered well. Other, less handy customers would give this a lower overall rating.

I love these blinds by jerry mawhinney from Sunrise Florida
My experience with select blinds was very pleasant. I was not what you would call very knowledgable about what I needed and everyone, and I mean everyone I talked to was extremely patient. If I could have given them a 6 star rating, I would have.

Struck by thieves for a third time in just months. A nonprofit that oversees Kumuola Farm in Manoa says the organization is hurting.
Click here to watch Nana Ohkawa's story.
Pauline Navales takes care of 5.5 acres of land deep in the valley. The nonprofit she started, Kumuola Foundation, is dedicated to cultivating native plants and preserving Hawaiian culture. However, her crucial farming tools continue to get stolen. In April, September, and now once again.
"People coming up and stealing from a nonprofit like us, it hurts us because we don't have much moneys or grant moneys to have many of these tools available," said Navales.
A cutter, chainsaw and weed whacker were all kept in a Matson container. Another nonprofit had just donated the three tools to Kumuola when they were stolen last time. The damage adds up to more than one $1,000 each time.
"What we had was a lock on this latch here. People came and with our digging stick, they broke the lock. The second time they actually cut through this lock, removing the now durable lock," described Navales.
She said after this container was broken into for a second time, she installed a heavy-duty lock but that didn't stop the thief or thieves from getting to the equipment again.
This recent time, they climbed up the container then down the vent. The front gate was found still locked, so Navales said whoever stole the tools would have to walk almost half a mile to get back out. She said the theft is hurting the organization's community outreach that teaches kids and adults about native plants for cultural practices, art and food.
"We just planted this Kalo here. A lot of times it's weeding and mulching to keep the invasive away," said Navales.
She plans to hold a fundraiser to purchase security cameras and bars for the container's vent.

Bill aims to fight high gas prices
MARTINSBURG – Local legislators are on a crusade to do something about the unusually high price of gasoline in the Eastern Panhandle compared to the rest of the state and the region, and state Sen. Herb Snyder, D-Jefferson, is leading the bipartisan charge.
Contacted by phone Thursday, Snyder said he and state Sen. Craig Blair, R-Berkeley, spent the entire summer and fall trying to find the cause for Berkeley and Jefferson counties' gas prices being 30 cents higher than the rest of the state.
"I am convinced in my mind that it's caused by a 1939 law that requires wholesalers to mark up their products by 4 percent and retailers to mark up their products by 7 percent," he said. "It may have been well intended then, but that was a different time. Franklin D. Roosevelt was president, Hitler was getting ready to invade Poland, we were at the 10-year end of the Great Depression and it was eight years before Robert C. Byrd began his political career."
Snyder continued that the average cost of gasoline was 10 cents, hamburger was 14 cents a pound, a loaf of bread was 7 cents, the average price of a new car was $700 and the average price of a new home was $3,800.
"It's an archaic law that needs to be repealed," he said.
The law Snyder referred to is the Unfair Trade Practices, Chapter 47, Article 11A of the state code. West Virginia originally enacted the law, as did many states and the federal government, to combat large corporations from undercutting mom-and-pop shops to the point that the local, community businesses were driven out of business, allowing the corporations to monopolize the markets and set prices without competitive pressure.
Snyder said that when a Pennsylvania-based convenience store chain began opening in the Eastern Panhandle about 25 years ago, and began selling gasoline at a lower price than local gasoline retailers, a lawsuit was filed in circuit court by a local company to force the new company to raise its gas prices. The suit cited the Unfair Trade Practices as the basis for the suit, Snyder said.
"We tried to find the suit, but it is under seal," he said, meaning that the court closed the file to the public.
"Retailers and wholesalers do not want the public to know about this -they don't want the people to know how they price gas," Snyder continued. "The case is under seal because it's their dirty little secret that they don't want people to know."
He said the court case is the root cause of why gasoline prices are higher in the Eastern Panhandle.
On Thursday, Snyder introduced Senate Bill 368 that repeals Sections 1-14 of Chapter 47, Article 11A, which are the sections that detail the Unfair Trade Practices of state code.
Blair, R-Berkeley, also has been working on the extraordinary discrepancies in gasoline prices between the Eastern Panhandle and the rest of the state. He is co-sponsoring SB368.
"There has been an outcry for years from the public about gas prices and it seems to be getting worse," Blair said Thursday during a telephone interview. "If this bill passes, I predict we will see a stabilization in prices as the market system comes into play. This will affect the entire state. It will benefit every West Virginian – every business, every family, even government – once we have a competitive environment."
In addition to Snyder and Blair, the bill's sponsors include Senate President Jeff Kessler, D-Marshall; Senate Majority Leader John Unger, D-Berkeley; and state Sen. Donald H. Cookman, D-Hampshire.
"This is good bipartisanship," Blair said. "We're working for the folks. Let's get the job done. I'm excited."

By Lisa Smith, Special to the PNT
AUSTIN, Texas —Former Portales and Clovis resident Hermon Elliott remembers his years in the Civilian Conservation Corps as some of the best years of his life. He said he attended dances, swam in Colorado's warm artesian wells and even saved up enough money to buy his first car.
Elliott, 86, was among CCC alumni who gave accounts of their experiences in developing and building Texas parks last weekend at Bastrop State Park to celebrate the 75th anniversary of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's signing the work initiative into legislation in 1933.


text: My little man is almost two, and sometimes he falls asleep while latched on at bedtime. That's fine. Problem is that he has teeth. Sharp ones. When he's awake he remembers not to bite, but as he falls asleep all bets are off. When I try to stick my finger in to protect myself and break the suction, he has sharp teeth in the back too. Ouch! (used to be just gums back there) So... how do you defend yourself from the chompers without waking the sleeping toddler??

Ever since James Bond first strolled onto the silver screen as viewed through an assassin's gun barrel at the beginning of "Dr. No," music has been a vital part of the 007 experience. Join us for a look back at the music of James Bond and the stars who've sung his anthems.
The first two James Bond movies didn't have traditional "theme songs" like we associate with the movie franchise today. But the first Bond movie, 1967's "Dr. No," did feature the "James Bond Theme" as written by Monty Norman and performed by John Barry and his orchestra, a song that has been featured in all 23 films to this point. The opening credits to "Dr. No" also featured two other pieces of music: an untitled bongo interlude and a Calypso-flavored rendition of "Three Blind Mice," titled "Kingston Calypso."
The second James Bond movie, 1963's "From Russia with Love," featured a new instrumental version of the main theme over the opening credits and a vocal version by English singer Matt Monro at the end of the film.
One of the most memorable parts of 1964's "Goldfinger" was the theme song of the same name sung by Welsh singer Shirley Bassey. It was the start of a tradition of having a standalone theme song for each film. The song also provide to be hugely popular, becoming a top 10 hit in the United States.
In 1965, Tom Jones provided the theme song for "Thunderball." The song, composed by John Barry and Don Black, would reach No. 35 on the U.K. charts and No. 25 on the U.S. charts.
Nancy Sinatra was called upon for the theme song to 1967's "You Only Live Twice."
"On Her Majesty's Secret Service" in 1969 featured a popular orchestral theme of the same name composed, once again, by John Barry, who was also responsible for composing 11 Bond soundtracks. The movie, George Lazenby's first and only time out as James Bond, also featured a secondary theme, Louis Armstrong's "We Have All the Time in the World."
With Sean Connery returning for one final Bond film, Bassey also returned for a second time in 1971 for "Diamonds Are Forever," singing the theme song of the same title. The song proved to not be as popular as "Goldfinger," peaking only at No. 38 on the U.K. charts and No. 57 on the U.S. charts.
The James Bond franchise may have lost its star in Sean Connery with 1973's "Live and Let Die," with Roger Moore taking over the role, but it gained more star power in turning to Paul McCartney and Wings for the movie's theme song. The song would become the first Bond theme song to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song and reached No. 2 as a U.S. single and No. 7 on the U.K. charts.United Artists
Scottish singer Lulu, mostly known for the song "To Sir, with Love" from the film of the same name, took over theme song duties for 1974's "The Man with the Golden Gun."
Carly Simon's performance of Marvin Hamlisch's (music) and Carole Bayer Sager's (lyrics) "Nobody Does It Better" from 1977's "The Spy Who Loved Me" received an Academy Award nomination for Best Song. The song not only matched McCartney's Oscar nomination, but also the peak chart positions of his theme song, topping out at No. 2 as a U.S. single and No. 7 on the U.K. charts.
Bassey returned for a third and final time for the theme song to 1979's "Moonraker."
Sheena Easton's performance of Bill Conti's "For Your Eyes Only" from the 1981 movie of the same name, was the third and last James Bond theme song, as of 2012, to earn an Academy Award nomination. The song also proved popular with music fans, reaching No. 8 as a U.K. single and climbing to No. 4 in the United States.
In 1983, Rita Coolidge took a turn providing a Bond theme song, singing "All Time High" for "Octopussy," Moore's last turn as the famous spy.
Duran Duran and John Barry's "A View To A Kill" from the 1985 movie of the same name topped the singles charts in the United States, becoming the only Bond theme to hit No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song nearly made it to the top in the United Kingdom as well, peaking at No. 2.
Two years after their 1985 debut with the No. 1 hit song "Take on Me," Norwegian pop band A-ha sung the theme song for the 1987 James Bond movie "The Living Daylights." While the song wasn't released as a single in the U.S., it did make it to No. 5 in the United Kingdom.
While producers had favored contemporary pop stars throughout the 1980s, they turned to Gladys Knight for the theme song to 1989's "Licence to Kill," the last appearance of Timothy Dalton as James Bond.
When Pierce Brosnan took over for Dalton with 1995's "GoldenEye," Tina Turner, then seeing a career resurgence thanks to the biopic "What's Love Got to Do with It," tackled the movie's theme song of the same name. The song, written by U2's Bono and The Edge, would reach No. 10 on the U.K. charts.
In 1997, Sheryl Crow provided the theme song to "Tomorrow Never Dies." While the song as not released as a single in the United States, it would reach No. 12 in the U.K.
Alternative rock band Garbage provided the theme song for 1999's "The World Is Not Enough."
In 2002, none other than pop star Madonna stepped up to sing the theme song to "Die Another Day." The song, which she co-wrote with Paris-based record producer and songwriter Mirwais Ahmadzaï, was a smashing success, reaching No. 3 in the United Kingdom while topping out at No. 8 in the United States.
With Daniel Craig stepping into the role of James Bond in 2006's "Casino Royale," Chris Cornell, lead singer for hard rock bands Soundgarden and Audioslave, provided the movie's theme song, "You Know My Name." The song failed to impress in the United States, reaching only No. 79 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, but peaked at No. 7 in the United Kingdom.
Jack White of the White Stripes and Alicia Keys teamed up for 2008's "Another Way to Die," the theme song to "Quantum of Solace." The song, which was written and produced by White, was the first duet among the Bond theme songs.
British singing sensation Adele provided the theme song to the 2012 James Bond film, "Skyfall." The song, written by Adele and producer Paul Epworth, was released on Oct. 5, 2012, at 0:07 British Summer Time as part of "Global James Bond Day," celebrating the 50th anniversary of the release of "Dr. No." The song entered the U.K. singles chart at No. 4 and rose to No. 2 in its second week, selling a total of 176,000 copies. It also entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart at No. 8, Adele's first song to debut in the Top 10, selling 261,000 copies in the United States in its first three days.

Really nice people and the flat is absolutley beautiful! :D
Two of us stayed here for ten days and were very happy with the apartment. The place is very spacious and bright. Good bed & sofa bed, nice bathroom, good facilities and on a lovely square with a handy location to central Brighton. Dealing with Gavin was extremely easy and no fuss. Would happily stay here again.
Great place to stay. We were two adults and a child and the flat is perfect for families, very confortable and spacious. I strongly recommend it.
very disappointing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent quality / price. London is not characterized by prices of affordable accommodation, and this apartment really surprised us for good.
Gavin was very friendly, fast and efficient contact, when we landed we send a text message and to reach the apartment and was waiting. We gave a few pointers to supermarkets, restaurants etc in the area, all very correct.
The apartment, as seen in the photographs, is very spacious with towels, hair dryer ..., the rooms are large, yes, if it bothers the morning light in the room that faces the Street got a problem, because as in England no blinds, curtains in the room that I comment, not totally keep out light. The apartment is on a piece of street that is pedestrian, so no noise at night traffic, a point very supportive.
The journey to the city center: in 20 minutes you get to the London Eye, the bus 53 or 453, or in those 20 minutes to 21, in London Brigde, although there are many more options. From these 2 points and it is a matter of walking or take another bus or subway.
In short we were 4, we were very comfortable, and very comfortable and certainly would repeat.
Relación calidad/precio excelente. Londres no se caracteriza por precios de alojamientos económicos, y la verdad que este apartamento nos sorprendió para bien.
Gavin fue muy amable, el contacto rápido y eficiente, cuando aterrizamos le mandamos un mensaje de texto y al llegar al apartamento ya nos estaba esperando. Nos dio unas cuantas indicaciones de supermercados, restaurantes etc de la zona, todo muy correcto.
El apartamento, tal y como se ve en las fotografías, es muy espacioso, con toallas, secador de pelo..., las habitaciones son grandes, eso sí, si te molesta la luz por la mañana, en la habitación que da a la calle tienes un problema, porque como en toda Inglaterra no hay persianas, y las cortinas de la habitación que os comento, no terminan de impedir que entre la luz. El apartamento esta en un trozo de calle que es peatonal, así que no hay ruido por las noches de tráfico, un punto muy a favor.
El recorrido hasta el centro de la ciudad: en 20 minutos llegas al London Eye, con el bus 53 o 453, o en esos mismos 20 minutos con el 21, en London Brigde, aunque hay muchas más opciones. A partir de esos 2 puntos ya es cuestión de andar o coger otro bus o metro.
En definitiva eramos 4, estuvimos muy cómodos, y muy a gusto y seguramente repetiríamos.
Gavin was super helpful when our last place cancelled on us with a days notice. He was away travelling but still arranged for us to get in.
House is basic but a good size for London! and while not the flashest part of town it's a great location near the buses and we found getting everywhere super simple.
A bit of confusion meant we thought we were staying for one more night and were out in town that day when Gavin let us know we were supposed to vacate. He was remarkably calm when we were racing around throwing gear into our suitcases and had even found another place nearby that we might try for the night.
So, the week was eventful for us but Gavin was fabulous!!.
Good location well served by bus, supermarkets and cafes for quick snacks. Quite close to the center; main tourist destinations within easy reach. Great playground nearby for those traveling with children. Easy key delivery. Apartment corresponding to the photos published with sheets and towels clean and of average quality. Well-equipped kitchen. The apartment is comfortable and spacious for a family of four components but needs maintenance work to exploit its potential. The lock on the bathroom door did not work and cleaning services rather left to be desired. Although we reported these incidents to our arrival we had no response from the owner. Neighbors a bit 'noisy. Overall, however, our stay in the house and in London and 'was pleasant and the quality / price ratio good for London standards. With some small measure, the house would be perfect!
Buona location ben servita da bus, supermercati e localini per spuntini veloci. Piuttosto vicina al centro; principali mete turistiche facilmente raggiungibili. Ottimo il parco giochi nelle immediate vicinanze per chi viaggia con bambini. Facile consegna chiavi. Appartamento corrispondente alle foto pubblicate con lenzuola e asciugamani pulite e di media qualità. Ben accessoriata la cucina. L'appartamento è comodo e spazioso per una famiglia di quattro componenti ma necessita di lavori di manutenzione per sfruttarne le buone potenzialità. La serratura della porta del bagno non funzionava e la pulizia dei servizi lasciava piuttosto a desiderare. Nonostante abbiamo segnalato tali inconvenienti al nostro arrivo non abbiamo avuto risposta dal proprietario. I vicini un po' rumorosi. Nel complesso, comunque, il nostro soggiorno nella casa e a Londra e' stato piacevole e il rapporto qualità/prezzo buono per gli standard londinesi. Con qualche piccolo accorgimento la casa sarebbe perfetta!
Convenient location, many buses directly fitted into the center, the apartment is spacious and reasonable. The sofa bed is in need of renovation, the beds were good. Transfer was uncomplicated.
Verkehrsgünstige Lage, viele Busse direkt ins Zentrum, die Wohnung ist geräumig und vernünftig ausgestattet. Das Schlafsofa ist erneuerungsbedürftig, die Betten waren gut. Übergabe war unkompliziert.
Finding the right apartment, was very easy with Wimdu! Fast Booking, easy payment and communication with the owner of the apartment was first class! We were 6 people and holiday in London was much appreciated. The apartment was for the few days one A. With great pleasure again!
Das richtige Appartment zu finden, war mit Wimdu sehr einfach! Schnelle Buchung, einfache Bezahlung und die Kommunikation mit dem Eigentümer der Wohnung war auch erste Klasse! Wir waren 6 Personen und der Urlaub in London hat uns sehr gefallen. Die Wohnung war für die paar Tage eins A. Sehr gerne wieder!
