Reviews for this host's other properties
Hello Margaride
The apartement was brilliant - rustic and cosy.. and situated in a nice area. We loved the coolness on the very hot days. The beds were good as well.
We could have wished a little more equipment in the kitchen - but we managed fine nevertheless.
Fine apartment for 3 persons.
Nice, clean and modern flat in between tiny roads not far away from Bairro Alto (when you know the right way, its less than 10 min to walk...). A Metro station as well as a supermarket are only a 10 minutes walk away. But sadly we couldn`t get any information about the location of the supermarket or any nearby helpful shops at the keyexchange from the responsible person.
Nevertheless the flat is equipped with many usefull things like hairdryer, hot iron, TV and free WIFI and it is located in a relatively quiet area of lisbon. The flat is in the second floor without elevator. The kitchen provides most of the needed cooking tools like pans, knives etc., but unfortunately we had to buy salt, oil vinegar and all the basic ingredients for cooking. There was no dish soap or cloth for cleaning the dishes or a regular soap in the bathroom. This was the only critics we have, thats why we give 4 out of 5 stars. Apart from that the flat is excellent.
Very friendly contact and easy communication in english with the contact person per email or message.
This is definitively a nice way to stay in Lisbon for a couple of days and a good chance to explore the city. thanks, alex and annette
Great place to stay. Closed to every important place and really confortable. The welcome and support from the guys was more than perfect. Will be back soon.
Wonderfully located some 800 metres north-east of Rossio over the roof-tops of historical Lisbon we enjoyed a magnificent sight over the City and Tejo. Some minor issues were the lack of toilet paper, a towel for the dishes and too few cups for the three of us. Things, that should be fixed, apart from this it has been a very good accomodation! So in total 4/5.
Very nice, friendly &helpful people.
Well equipped, very comfortable flat, situated in quiet neighborhood, but in the center -good localisation.
We are satisfied and really recommend this apartment.
Great Place in the middle of Barrio Alto.
- Clean place, fresh towels and bedsheats
- Even though located in a nightlife area it is in a quiet street
- Hand-over of keys in a very organized and professional way
- very confortable bed and cosy bedsheets
- well equipped kitchen
- The flat is far smaller than promised in the description. I would say max. 45 m².
- walls are like paper (you can hear every word and sound of your neighbours)
Overall a good 4 stars and I would definitely come again.
Best Regards
Very pleasant stay. Chiado is located near and close to restaurants for dining out. It is the center and this complicates the parking, but parking nearby.
Estancia muy agradable. Esta situado cerca de Chiado, y muy cerca de restaurantes para salir a cenar. Es el centro y esto complica el aparcamiento, pero hay parking cercano.
Very nice appartment on the fourth floor. Perfect location in Bairro Alto close to many bars and restaurants, but in a quiet street. Nice and friendly host.
Quite Lisbon as a panorama
What makes this weekend drying, is clearly the large windows overlooking the city and the Tagus including bridge. An incredibly beautiful view, as the apartment is located directly below the Castelos on a slope.
Cited in the description balcony is rather a larger outlet, perhaps 1 x 1 m tall. The apartment is otherwise ok, nothing is lacking. The agency worked very well. Very Accurate should accept that some things are a bit rickety and simply needed a screwdriver. Around the corner is a Supermercado, which is open every day, a few pubs and bars are also right next door. To recommend Definitely.
Ganz Lissabon als Panorama
Was diese Wochnung ausmacht, ist eindeutig das große Fenster mit Blick auf die Stadt und den Tejo inklusive Brücke. Ein unglaublich schöner Blick, da die Wohnung direkt unterhalb des Castelos am Hang liegt.
Der in der Beschreibung genannte Balkon ist doch eher ein größerer Austritt, vielleicht 1 x 1 m groß. Die Wohnung ansonsten ist ok, es mangelt an nichts. Die Vermittlung klappte sehr gut. Sehr Akkurate sollten sich damit abfinden, dass manches etwas klapprig ist und einfach mal einen Schraubendreher bräuchte. Um die Ecke ist ein Supermercado, der täglich geöffnet ist, ein paar Kneipen und Bars sind ebenfalls gleich nebenan. Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen.
Wonderful place to stay - great central location - supermarket around the corner - we love to come back
Wundervolle Unterkunft - super zentral gelegen - Supermarkt um die Ecke - wir kommen gerne wieder

WHAT ON FRIKKIN EARTH if there gonna go after a coach that hard it should've been Phil Jackosn
Larry, Knicks alone at last
July 20
New York Daily News: "Isiah Thomas' courtship of Larry Brown began last night, almost immediately after the coach and the Detroit Pistons reached a buy-out agreement that will allow Brown to coach the Knicks or any other team next season. The Knicks president is expected to meet with the Hall of Fame coach as soon as tomorrow and is prepared to offer Brown a five-year contract worth between $50 million and $60 million, which would make him the highest-paid coach in NBA history. "
i think isaih didnt have to spend THAT much on him......wth is he thinking
coaches salery is apart of the Cap right?
WHAT ON FRIKKIN EARTH if there gonna go after a coach that hard it should've been Phil Jackosn
we DID go after Phil that hard he just wanted no part of our roster. simple as that...and besides for the advantage in rings how is Phil better than Larry???
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
Yes, Phil wanted no part of us!
LB is a great teacher... that's what our young players need... mold them and shape them now... engrain some defense and team concepts... it'll go a longway for down the road
Listen we are screwed cap wise as far personnel goes. Larry is the best coach available... possibly the best coach in the nba, so i don't mind signing him for the price we are hearing. Its a way to get us better w/ out altering our cap. Look around the nba most teams would love to have this guy. Were handcuffed financially with the cap but this makes us better because coaches are not considered part of the cap.
We would of offered Phil that type of money and so would of alot of different teams, but he decided to stay put in LA.Originally Posted by Skyhi300
at least we can forget abou the coachs of the knicks for awhile because there is no one better then Brown
I'm not sure where you got your figures from but according to ESPN and NY Post, the knicks are prepaired to offer brown 60 million for 5 years. That's just over what Phil's making with the Lakers.
best option for a looking for a coach?
revive red holtzman from his grave
I'm not sure where you got your figures from but according to ESPN and NY Post, the knicks are prepaired to offer brown 60 million for 5 years
If u read wut i said i already had stated that.
and i got this from prosportsdaily.com then went to basektball rumors then to ny knicks
"the knicks are in salary cap hell. But w/ Larry Brown, the knicks will be in coaching heaven." -J.Heyman, Newsday
New York Basketball!!
so the coaches salery does not go in with the player saleries????
Remember what happend to Lenny Wilkens? Remember Stephon interupting a press confrence just to welcome Lenny to NY w/ a big hug and a handshake? Everybody made him sound like he was the great coach for NY. I had my hopes up then. I thoght since they had certain similarities, Lenny and Step would be able to work out. It didn't. And Don Nelson when he was in NY? I never liked Nelson, but he's respected. he eventually got chased out of NY. How long did Van Gundy stay in NY as HeadCoach/AssistantCoach? The point is they were all pretty good coaches, but the game play and execution just didn't happen. As time passed so has the NYK defense system that Riley/VGundy . We have great coaches, but we really need to rebuild our defense. If we had better/tighter defense, the outcome of those close games would benefit the knicks instead of adding marks to the loss column. I hope there is good CHEMISTRY between the coaches and the players(larry/herb). We have good coaches, but we have lazy, over paid, airheaded athletes. I hope Stephon doesn't chase Larry away. Hopefully things are really well between the two. Larry said he'd assign Herb as an assistant coach. Does this mean no more Paul Westphal and Aguire/Malone?
Larry Brown is the best coach in the NBA. He would be perfect for the job.

Some would say Bill Nugent has the worst luck when it comes to planning a vacation. Bill Nugent, "Once we had a death in the family. I had to cancel a trip three days before, and the second time, I injured my leg and had to cancel it, maybe two to three weeks before." Fortunately, Bill had bought travel insurance for both trips. He got back most of the nearly 12-thousand dollars he had laid out. "Travel insurance is a two billion dollar a year industry, covering everything from natural disasters to personal medical emergencies." But do you need travel Insurance? Consumer Reports Money Adviser says - maybe, but buy wisely. For instance, don't buy insurance that covers small losses, like lost luggage. And if you're worried about dying in a plane crash, skip flight insurance. Instead, think about term life insurance. It covers you no matter what the cause of death. Greg Daugherty "Before you buy travel insurance, first check the insurance you already have. Medical emergencies may be covered by your health insurance, a fender bender by your credit card." If you're traveling overseas, which can require additional health insurance -- consider medical travel insurance. Greg Daugherty "And if you do decide you want travel insurance, it's better not to buy it from a travel agent who may be more swayed by high commissions than what the best policy is for you." Instead, go to an online broker like Insure-my-trip-dot-com, which sells coverage from 21 different carriers, including CSA Travel Protection, Med-Jet Assist, and Travelex. As Bill Nugent learned firsthand, a little insurance could go a long way --when things don't go according to plan. .."

Homeopathic Remedies Work Excellently
Great for Muscle Cramps
Posted by 5763314982486808071 on Mar 08, 2014
I have found these tablets are very good as a preventative and reactive response for muscle cramps. The tablets dissolve in the mouth and provide relief very quickly. They are more convenient to use than most forms of magnesium tablets. In recent years I have had a tendency to get hand cramps while driving and hamstring cramps at night. Tablets taken when the cramps occur seem to solve the problem or if I have had a long hot day on the bowling greens a recommended dose before retiring prevents being rudely awoken during the night with a hamstring seizure. I'm a committed user.

Used for menstrual cramping
Posted by Reviewer3059703 on Jul 16, 2011
I bought this to try because I get really bad menstrual cramps with my periods and it can be hard to find relief. It didn't do the trick for this even with multiple doses like the label suggested. However, I'm not saying it wouldn't work for muscle cramps or one of the other symptoms listed on the label since I didn't buy it for those.

Head of Fernande, 1906
Pablo PicassoSpanish, 1881-1973

Not on view
Fernande Olivier (1881–1966), Picasso's first mistress, was completely absorbed into the artist's practices, establishing the standard for how his lovers would pervade his portraiture over the course of his eight-decade career. Olivier's relationship with Picasso coincided with the artist's exploration of a proto-primitive style that would lead him to his first decisive steps toward Cubism. These two busts of Olivier were modeled during that shift, and the difference between the two exemplifies the artist's remarkable transition period. In the earlier work, Olivier's head is simplified, reduced. Her hair is fixed to her head and neck, almost an afterthought to the strong jaw, thick neck and solid features that Picasso had admired in the early medieval sculpture of his native northwest Spain and imposed here. Three years later, the artist was drawing from primitive art, both Iberian and African, and was beginning his dialogue with the spatial implications that informed early Cubism. In his Head of Fernande from 1909, he inflicted Olivier's visage with a series of planes, effectively dividing her head, face and neck into dozens of segments.

History of the Peace Corps in Madagascar
|History of the Peace Corps
|Since 1960, when then Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries, more than 182,000 Peace Corps Volunteers have served in 138 countries all over the globe.
See also:
Despite political and economic reform measures, Madagascar continues to face many development challenges. The education system is burdened by overcrowded classrooms, poorly trained teachers, and a severe shortage of teaching materials. Widespread poverty, a poorly educated population, food insecurity, unsafe water supplies, and inadequate health services have resulted in a high rate of infant mortality. Madagascar has one of the highest levels of biodiversity on Earth, but its natural resource base is severely threatened by deforestation, soil erosion, and the decline in overall land productivity. Peace Corps Volunteers in Madagascar teach English, train teachers, conduct health and HIV/AIDS education, and work on natural resources management and community development.
The first 10 Peace Corps Volunteers arrived in Madagascar in September 1993 to initiate the teacher training project, which eventually became the English education project. In August 1994, the environmental project kicked off with the arrival of 13 trainees. The health project began in September 1995. Since reopening in 2002, the Peace Corps has been providing approximately 75 new Volunteers per year in this country. Since the beginning, the program has had a close working relationship with the government of Madagascar.
History and Future of Peace Corps Programming in Madagascar
Peace Corps/Madagascar focuses on three main areas of vital need: health, education, and natural resources management. These projects have evolved over the years based on the needs of the government and the communities with which we work.
Volunteers in the community health project help communities address health issues through behavioral change methodologies and the effective dissemination of health messages. Volunteers work to promote prevention of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), prevention of childhood illnesses, family life skills, and reproductive health. Volunteers also work with community leaders and organizations to disseminate health messages that are critical to mother and child survival.
Volunteers in the English as a foreign language (EFL) project are posted to underserved rural communities and work with students, teachers, and the larger community to improve their capacity to speak English. In 2005, President Ravalomanana stated that he wanted English to become the second offical language of this country. In collaboration with central and regional curriculum professionals, Volunteers support the government's initiatives to raise the standards of teaching, develop teaching resources, and strengthen the links between schools and their communities. Using the community-content-based instructional approach as well as project design and management training, Peace Corps/ Madagascar Volunteers model the belief that teachers, by definition, are community development workers. As such, Peace Corps teachers and their counterparts use English as a vehicle to promote awareness of community issues, to encourage using schools as a base for community activities, and to develop the future community development workers of Madagascar—its young, school-age population.
Madagascar has several national parks and protected natural areas. Volunteers in the natural resources management project provide training for managers of protected areas, community members, and groups to improve conservation in these areas. Volunteers are engaged in environmental education, income-generation activities, trail construction, ecotourism, ecological monitoring, community development, construction of fuel-conserving stoves, forestry, and gardening. Their goals are to reduce the degradation of natural resources, to develop the capacity of local individuals and institutions, and to enhance the management capabilities of responsible governmental and nongovernmental organizations.

Happy Chinese New Year!Friday, February 8th, 2013
The Year of the Snake slithers in this weekend but have no fear! Ancient Chinese wisdom says a snake in the house is actually a good omen because it means that your family will not starve. The sixth sign of the Chinese Zodiac, the snake represents wisdom, intelligence and self-control. The snake also represents the ability to strike at will, quickly and powerfully. The Year of Snake promises to be a time of steady progress and attention to detail. Focus and discipline will be necessary for all of us to achieve what we set out to create.
Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festival in the Chinese calendar and celebrations take place around the world . What better way to get into the spirit by reading some Chinese New Year children's books! Here are a few books we've blogged about that we would definitely recommend:
Tales from the Chinese Zodiac series by Oliver Chin,
The Great Race / The Story of the Chinese Zodiac by Dawn Casey, illustrated by Anne Wilson;
The Day the Dragon Danced by Kay Haugaard, illustrated by Carolyn Reed Barritt
Fang Fang's Chinese New Year by Sally Rippin
The Race for the Chinese Zodiac by Gabrielle Wang, illustrated by SallyRippin
Year of the Dog and Year of the Rat by one of my favorite authors Grace Lin. Be sure to visit Grace's blog t0 read about her plans for bringing in the New Year with her daughter Rain Dragon and to get some New Year crafts suggestions.
My Mom Is a Dragon and My Dad is a Boar and Hiss! Pop! Boom! by Tricia Morissey
Happy, Happy Chinese New Year! written and illustrated by Demi. Read our interview with Demi here and see our gallery of her stunning illustration work here.
And here's a special kidlit New Year celebration for those of you who live in San Jose, CA, USA. Children's author Oliver Chin will be reading from his new book The Year of the Snake: Tales from the Chinese Zodiac, on Feb. 19th at the Joyce Ellington Branch library. Details here.

When thinking of Italian wine, Amarone, Barolo and Chianti may be what most readily springs to mind, but Richard Baudains reveals a treasure trove of original yet overlooked wines just waiting to be discovered. See his pick of 10 wines from the most exciting Italian terroirs here...
Carema is a panda wine. Only two wineries make it, production is limited, properties fragmented (the 17 hectares managed by the admirable local co-op are shared between no fewer than 78 growers), and the demographical trends in the village of Carema are setting alarm bells ringing. Without a younger generation to take on the labour-intensive work in the spectacular terraced vineyards at the foot of the Alps, the risk of extinction is very real. Carema has the most extreme terroir of all the northern Nebbiolos and a fascinatingly subtle and complex character with its delicate red fruit, sweet floral aromas and tangy mineral intensity. If your model of Piedmont is mouthfilling modern Barolo, Carema imposes a change of register. Expect a lighter, drier, finer wine, with brisk acidity and more length than breadth – a dream wine for fans of racy, old-fashioned Nebbiolo.
Ferrando (white label) 2007
Sweet floral nose of redcurrants, bay and fern. Tangy intensity on the palate, fine tannins and huge length with the fruit and a salty mineral finish. 18.5pts/20

Unchartered Italy: Moscato d'Asti DOCG, Piedmont
2. Moscato d'Asti DOCG, Piedmont
Moscato d'Asti ought to be up there with the Italian classics. It is made from a great variety and it has history, sense of place and a style which is unique to Italy. It's also delicious. That it does not enjoy the prestige it deserves is perhaps attributable to two misconceptions. The first is confusion with cheap, watery, industrially made Asti Spumante. Moscato d'Asti is everything Asti Spumante is not. It is made from highly selected grapes by specialist growers at family-owned wineries; and in contrast to the gassy, bland Spumante, Moscato is all about fruit and aroma, not bubbles. The second issue is when to drink it. It is unequivocally sweet, but it does not really show its best with puddings. Moscato's light, grapey freshness and floral aromas are wasted on rich or creamy desserts. It's perfect next to green figs or strawberries and it goes wonderfully well with fresh goats' cheeses. Best of all, savour it by itself in a moment of pure mid-afternoon hedonism.
Cà d'Gal, Vigna Vecchia 2010
Restrained mousse. Complex, refined and personal nose with aromas of herb garden, apple and gooseberry, and an intriguing note of cedar. Rich, concentrated impact on the palate with great follow through, lovely creamy texture and long, grapey finish. 18.5pts/20

Unchartered Italy: Dolcetto di Dogliani DOCG, Piedmont
3. Dolcetto di Dogliani DOCG, Piedmont
Dolcetto generally ranks bottom in Langhe producers' hierarchy of grapes. Nebbiolo reigns supreme, the highly remunerative Barbera is second and Dolcetto brings up the rear as the mid-bodied, fruity wine the locals drink at home. But in Dogliani, Dolcetto rules, elevated to DOCG status and grown to the virtual exclusion of other varieties. Dolcetto di Dogliani (also labelled simply 'Dogliani') is dark, serious, low-yielding, latepicked, super-selected, concentrated, almost always barrel-aged stuff with a weight and structure foreign to other Dolcettos. Its dry austerity can often be mouth puckering. In these cases the only remedy is to add cellar time to the two or three years the wine is typically aged at the winery. The result is a satisfying, rich, chunky, vigorous wine that opens a new and unsuspected window on the Langhe.
Chionetti, Briccolero 2010
Nose of ripe plums and violets with a hint of sage. Big, warm entry, richly textured mid-palate with bags of energy and concentration, excellent grip in the finish, with a return of plummy fruit and a hint of almonds. 18.5pts/20

Unchartered Italy: Lagrein DOC, Alto Adige
4. Lagrein DOC, Alto Adige
The red wines of the Alto Adige do not have a high profile abroad, partly because the region is better known for its whites and partly because most of its production is absorbed locally by the tourist trade. Among the treats we are missing out on is Lagrein. One of the lesser-known facts about this bilingual alpine region that borders Austria is that July temperatures around the provincial capital of Bolzano often top those of Palermo in Sicily. It's this climate that, on the stony, glacial-alluvial soils of the valley bottom, gives Lagrein its near-Mediterranean traits; impenetrable, inky dark shades, ripe fruit and dense tannins. The varietal character is toned down in the younger annata wines, but oak-aged riservas deliver the full-on profile. The top crus are at Gries, where, sadly, the ancient walled vineyards are under threat from encroaching suburban development. Production is limited, but quality – as it is across the region as a whole – is absolutely impeccable.
Ignaz Niedrist, Berger Gei, Gries 2009
Intense cassis and wild berry aroma, with hints of ink and pencil lead. Broad palate of refined tannins and a long, juicy finish of liquorice and tar. 18.5pts/20

Unchartered Italy: Timorasso DOC, Piedmont
5. Timorasso DOC, Piedmont
Timorasso is a grape that ought to have a wider audience. It has everything going for it: opulent aromas, full body and great acidity. It can do oaked and unoaked styles with equal aplomb and it is capable of developing impressive complexity with age. Two things possibly holding it back are scarcity and unfamiliarity. On the subject of the latter, its cause is not helped by a degree of confusion over the name. Timorasso may be bottled under the Colli Tortonesi DOC, with or without an indication of the grape. Derthona, the name of a proposed new DOC for Timorasso which hopefully will come into force next year, is also used by some producers, either alongside the existing DOC or in one case for a table wine. However it is labelled, Timorasso, which was virtually wiped out by phylloxera at the start of the last century and only retrieved from obscurity in the past 15 years, is by far the most characterful of Piedmont's native white varieties, knocking spots off the lean and one dimensional Cortese and the soft and simple Arneis.
Claudio Mariotto, Pitasso, Derthona, Colli Tortonesi 2009
Peach, pineapple and lime aromas, with a light, toasty oak background. Intense palate, beautifully bone dry, concentrated and juicy with citrus and minerals in the long, mouthwatering finish. 18pts/20

Unchartered Italy: Lambrusco DOC, Emilia-Romagna
6. Lambrusco DOC, Emilia-Romagna
Forget the dishonest, double-litre screwcap stuff with the cheap paper labels – this is real wine. The revival is in full swing in Emilia and among its key players are small-scale grower-producers whose passion and commitment is revolutionising the perception of Lambrusco (in Italy at least). In some cases the reaction against industrial winemaking has led to challenging non-interventionist extremes, but within the new mainstream, quality vineyard management and handcrafted winemaking are rapidly restoring dignity to a unique local wine. (To appreciate the change, check out the refinement of the wines made by the traditional ancestrale method of bottle refermentation.) Glossing over distinctions between sub-varieties and production zones, Lambrusco can be divided into two broad categories: pale coral-hued, nervy and intense, made from Sorbara; and dark, fragrant, fruity wines from the top-quality Grasparossa grape. Both offer some of Italy's best-value drinking.
Tenuta Pederzana, Grasparossa NV
Light mousse. Amazingly rich and complex nose with violets, dark chocolate, plums and black cherry and then autumn leaves, wallflowers, cinnamon and graphite. Fresh and full on the palate with a gentle fizz, and long juicy finish. 19pts/20

Unchartered Italy: Sangiovese di Romagna DOC, Emilia-Romagna
7. Sangiovese di Romagna DOC, Emilia-Romagna
Sangiovese di Romagna suffers from its image as the poor relation of Chianti Classico, with which it shares the grape variety but none of the glamour. Also, the wines from the Adriatic side of the Apennines are frustratingly inconsistent, and this weighs negatively on their reputation as a whole. On the plus side, Romagna producers have been much less seduced by international blending varieties than their Chianti counterparts, which means the region offers a pure, direct expression of Sangiovese – including the rough edges. Acidity can be strident, tannins tough, and when producers cut back on the yields, alcohol levels can be decidedly generous. But there is the dark fruit, the classic iris aromas, the grip and the underlying earthiness of the real deal; intense and juicy when young, mellow and spicycomplex in the riserva styles.
La Berta 2010
Super nose of cherry, iris and white pepper. Fresh, zippy, nervy palate with texture, lovely expression, and long fruit and almond finish. Superior in its class. 17.5pts/20

Unchartered Italy: Salice Salentino Rosato / Salento Rosato, Puglia
8. Salice Salentino Rosato/ Salento Rosato, Puglia
Puglia produces enormous quantities of pink wine in an extremely heterogeneous range of styles, with a bewildering number of names and, at times, an undeniable quality deficit. So it's not surprising that it tends to get dismissed as a category. This is a shame because there are wines which deserve better attention. The area with the longest traditions is Salento. Rosato may no longer be the focus wine it once was here, but it is still taken very seriously by producers who, eschewing the quick fix of modern soft pressing and cold fermentation, maintain an much weightier, more complex style. The reference points are the Salento IGT or the slightly more strictly regulated Salice Salentino DOC. The wines use the same grapes as the traditional reds of the area: Negroamaro with the addition, in the case of Salice Salentino, of Malvasia Nera to add a touch of softness and aroma. Expect the unexpected; mature shades and dry, even slightly austere wines with a very satisfying tangy intensity.
Azienda Monaci, Girofle, Salento 2009
Evolved, honeyed but still fresh nose, with precise plum balance between sweet fruit and bitter herbs. Great length and concentration on the finish, with notes of white pepper and cinnamon. 18pts/20

Unchartered Italy: Ciro DOC, Calabria
9. Cirò DOC, Calabria
Cirò is an anonymous little town with a down-atheel look, located exactly at the point of the spur on the boot of the Italian peninsula. There is nothing about it which might intimate the very high standard of winemaking of the leading wineries there, or the cutting-edge vineyard research done in the vast empty spaces inland. In fact, the message of the quality of the wines from this corner of Calabria has been slow to filter through to the outside world. The indigenous variety is Gaglioppo, a grape by all accounts introduced by the Greeks – and possibly the source of the wine presented to the winner of the ancient marathon. Tending to be low on acidity and colour, and with potentially coarse tannins, it is not an easy grape to vinify but when the producer gets its right, young Cirò wines have cheerful red cherry and floral aromas and a wonderfully soft, round, gulpable character. They also have an ability to marry with oak, which makes the toothsome Cirò riservas one of the top bargains from the south of Italy in their category.
Santa Venere, Classico 2009
Sweet red cherry fruit on the nose with a touch of white chocolate and typical hints of saltiness at the back. Generous, dry and herby on the palate with lovely ripe, chewy, whole food tannins and a warm, round finish. 18.5pts/20

Unchartered Italy: Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, Sicily
10. Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, Sicily
The 'G' in DOCG guarantees a whole raft of quality factors in a wine, but not, as the case of Cerasuolo di Vittoria demonstrates, increased visibility. Sicily's first and to date only DOCG has somehow been overlooked. Cerasuolo does not have the jammy fruit and chewy textures of the international-style reds invented in the 1990s, nor does it have the headline-grabbing attention of Etna wines, with their celebrity owners and old bush vines. Yet the wines from this less-fashionable southeast corner of the island have a unity and authenticity that make them a true reflection of their terroir – one which, perhaps surprisingly given the baking hot climate, expresses aroma and an exhilarating dry intensity rather than weight and power. Nero d'Avola gives the tannins and the earthiness and Frappato adds the floral aromas and juiciness. Look for a palish shade, medium bodied drinkability, huge scope for spot-the-aroma discussions (some tasters even pick out a suggestion of anchovies) and a distinctly salty character in the finish.
Cos, Classico 2009
Big, fragrant nose ranging from red fruits through floral-spicy to wild herbs and tobacco leaf with a note of peatiness at the back. Dry, firm and irresistibly more-ish on the palate with a return of the spicy floral character and a long savoury finish. 18.5pts/20

Apple's online store has been updated to include the recently announced 128GB capacity fourth-generation iPad with Retina display. Both the Wi-Fi ($799) and Wi-Fi + Cellular ($929) versions are available now in black or white.
The Wi-Fi iPad is available to ship in one to three business days, while the Wi-Fi + Cellular iPad availability differs based on the network carrier — AT&T is currently showing a shipping time of one to three business days for the black 128GB iPad and three to five days for the white version, while Sprint and Verizon are both showing shipping times of three to five business days for both models.
Report: iOS bugs, policies hurting users, developers?
A new report details a number of software-related issues that are impacting Apple users and developers, as Adam C. Engst of TidBITS provides anonymized summaries of "some concerning problems that haven't gotten as much press" as recent hardware manufacturing delays. Engst notes that iOS 6 has seen "more (and more-troubling) bugs in iOS 6 than any previous version of iOS in particular," noting that users were hit with problems such as excessive cellular data usage and battery drain, issues that Apple took four months to address with iOS 6.1. Second-hand reports shared by Engst suggest that Apple engineers have left "because they felt their software was being shipped before it was ready," and that he has also "heard story after story of Apple's App Store policies and behaviors causing significant headaches." While developers wouldn't go on the record with their individual issues, they described iTunes Connect problems regarding app approval, company changes, and customer management that were creating unnecessary problems for users, such as confusing update and upgrade paths for important new releases. Engst suggests that Apple's success has "effectively blinded" it to the software and developer problems, which he deems "the emperor's wardrobe malfunction," issues that "aren't likely to affect the stock price in the short term, but could have long term consequences."
Court backs Apple in online credit card privacy case
Apple and other online retailers did not break the law by requiring consumers to provide their addresses and phone numberes to make credit card payments, the California Supreme Court ruled on Monday, noting that state privacy protections for credit cards don't apply to downloaded online purchases. Consumer David Krescent had sued Apple after making purchases from iTunes, which sells content exclusively online. Notably, the same court ruled in 2011 that the privacy protections apply to brick-and-mortar retailers, which would not be allowed to request a ZIP code during a credit card transaction. In this case, four California Supreme Court justices backed Apple, while three said that the ruling was "a major loss for consumers." [via Reuters]
Report: Apple supplier working on mini Retina display
Apple supplier AU Optronics is guiding the production of a Retina display for the second-generation iPad mini, according to a new report. In an item translated from a Chinese tech website, the new iPad mini is reported to have the widely-expected iPad-matching resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels, which translates at 7.9" to a pixel density of 324 ppi. The report is further confirmation of everything we've been hearing, with all signs pointing to the next iPad mini iteration containing a Retina display. [via Brightwire]

Third-party developers can now use Apple-provided Appstore.com links to make shortened URL links to their apps, as was demonstrated this weekend. An Appstore.com short link appeared briefly at the end of the commercial for the upcoming film "Star Trek Into Darkness," which read, "For details and ticket information go to AppStore.com/StarTrekApp." The Appstore.com domain name, which was given to Steve Jobs as a personal gift by Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, has been used as the official website for the App Store Twitter account since its launch in January 2011.
FTC report makes mobile privacy recommendations
A new Federal Trade Commission report offers suggestions to "the major participants in the mobile ecosystem" on providing privacy information and transparency to customers. Titled "Mobile Privacy Disclosures: Building Trust Through Transparency," the report makes a number of recommendations to developers of apps and operating system providers. The suggestions for system providers, such as Apple, include "developing icons to depict the transmission of user data," making a "Do Not Track" mechanism available that allows consumers to stop third-party tracking, and providing "just-in-time disclosures" to consumers before apps can "access sensitive contact like geolocation," among other recommendations. App developers are urged to provide similar disclosures while making privacy policies easily accessible within app stores. The FTC recently amended its rules for the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Open for Business events are organised in conjunction with the Knowledge Transfer Network for Industrial Mathematics (KTN) and whenever appropriate with the Centre for Science and Policy. They are supported by the Higher Education Innovation Fund of the University of Cambridge.
Open for Business events provide opportunities, at senior level, for cross-fertilisation between the business-facing activities of the KTN and the research focus of the Institute. Events are structured to enable the formation of new relationships on the business-academic interface and to assist in identifying the common challenges that have greatest potential for research, knowledge transfer, public policy and commercial impact.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Turnout for the historic Wisconsin recall election will be more than 55 percent.
About 2.5 million people cast ballots Tuesday, which would be about 58 percent of eligible voters statewide. Republican Gov. Scott Walker defeated Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett in a race that was watched throughout the country.
The Government Accountability Board had predicted that up to 65 percent of eligible voters would go to the polls.


text: My LO is 1 1/2 weeks old. He wakes every 3-4 hours at night to nurse but only nurses on one side before he is out like a light again. My breasts do not get engorged or full feeling during the 6-7 hour stretch of not nursing on each particular side. He nurses a lot during the day but does fall asleep quickly after nursing. During the day I will wake him every 2 hours to nurse. He has about 5-6 wet diapers and 3-6 small quarter sized stools everyday. Should I be trying to make him nurse on both sides at night?

I'm transfering about 60 million rows in a SSIS-Dataflow-Task from a MS SQL 2008 R2 Database to a PostgreSQL 9.1 Database with the PGNP.1 Desktop Edition under Windows 7 64 Bit.
There are only 2 columns in the table (INT and INT) and it's really slow. Only about 10.000 rows per second.
Is there a hint for a better performance?

Big, big game. With Good Pedro, please. Oh pretty please.
When Tatis gets to the ball park today, he'll find this note in his locker:
I was at my folks' house yesterday in Brooklyn, watching the game with my mom, and there we were (again!!) with a relatively comfortable 2-run lead in the 9th, one tiny strike away from victory. I was feeling so good about it! I started composing my blog entry in my head. It was going something like this:
Our Mets have given us two strong wins in a row. During arguably their most important series so far this season. Well, we need three. It's down to the final game vs. the Phils. Do we still have a .500 team? Or are they starting to battle past that roadblock? This series could be a microcosm for the season. Never before has 2 out of 4 seemed so many light years away from 3 out of 4. If we can only…
Oh. Holy. Crap.
And yes, that part–in my head–would be when I watched Jayson Werth make contact with Billy Wagner's ball and send it flying into the stands at Citizens Bank Park.
You can imagine how my thoughts changed at that moment. But thank goodness the team stayed in the game, didn't give up, and fought for that 12th inning victory. Kudos to Fernando Tatis for coming through in the clutch, and to Joe Smith for going longer than he's used to and giving us one helluva job.
But, well, we're back at the importance of tonight's game now. We just plain need to win it. Not only that, but we need to see many, many more positives than negatives in Pedro's performance.
Keep fighting, boys. Take this series past .500.
And ya know, if given the chance Wags, feel free to make it much less interesting.
2 Comments
I literally went nuts when that ball left the park… I was throwing things and screaming (I think Ryan was scared. Though maybe not… he's been through this with me before). So when Tatis did his thing, I was screaming again, but in a much better way.
And I was actually ok with the rain delay — it gave me a chance to run some errands and then come home and have dinner while watching the game!
Big game tonight for Pedro… HUGE! I have a good feeling about it… fingers crossed.
(Love your Billy note!)
Who would've thought Billy would get into this game tonight? I don't know whether to be mad at them for the stress they continue to put us through, or happy that they're finally above .500.

I have had my NC for 3 weeks. No sound issues at all.
Re: sound issues44sunski Dec 12, 2010 7:15 PM (in response to Sofia_NW)
I'm on Nook Color #3 in just as many days with the same sound problem - no sound after device going to sleep, must shut down to restore sound. This last one is working fine. Third times a charm. Exchange it.
Re: sound issuesKenster Dec 14, 2010 10:24 AM (in response to Sofia_NW)
Had mine for 3 weeks now. No sound issues so far.
Re: sound issuesBugeyed Dec 15, 2010 7:35 PM (in response to Kenster)
Yes, I am seeing the same problem. I just got this one in exchange for a 1 day old unit that had touchscreen issues. Now I guess I need to exchange this one. I was hoping for a firmware fix, but B&N isn't acknowledging an issue, so I have to treat it as faulty hdwr. I will have a checklist for this exchange & check out the replacement before I leave the store! It's a 60 mile round trip drive & I have been there 4 times in 2 days. On line customer support was a total joke, so I don't really want to go through them.
Re: sound issuesemesem Dec 20, 2010 10:48 AM (in response to Bugeyed)
Just got one Friday and got the sound issue. Customer Service tech suggested factor reset which did not fix. Will exchange tomorrrow.
B&N please address this issue! Recall the defective batch!
Re: sound issueswestytx Dec 23, 2010 11:02 AM (in response to Sofia_NW)
Less than 24 hrs after opening my Nook, I had the same sound issues. At first the tutorial video audio was very faint, even with sound bar cranked to high. Then no sound at all. Read the reviews in here and tried the HARD RESET option. That worked. Even the ear phones now work. My question: Will B&N alert owners of a HARDWARE or SOFTWARE FIX for this problem? If so, how? Do we continue to use the HARD RESET ever time we power up a NOOK just to get sound?
Thanks for the discussion board.....
Re: sound issuesdnadeitz Dec 30, 2010 11:59 AM (in response to westytx)
How do you hard reset? I can't hear mine either.
Re: sound issuestarrant Dec 30, 2010 5:21 PM (in response to Sofia_NW)
I bought two NCs the other day one of them had the lost audio problem the other did not. Exchanged the bad one today and thought I was good but it ended up haveing the same prolem. Looking at the serial numbers the two bad ones had 2005 as the first four digits and the good unit starts with 2004. Could those with and without problems check your serials? Just curious if that is coincidental or if it can be used to pick a good unit.
Re: sound issuesriffrafff Dec 30, 2010 5:25 PM (in response to tarrant)
No audio problems as of yet.
s/n 2004760159732xxx
Re: sound issuesMinpinrose Jan 2, 2011 8:12 AM (in response to riffrafff)
No audio problems I am aware of. S/N begins with 2004. However, I have noticed that when the NC goes to sleep music continues to play even with black screen; I suspect that this may be intentional because music continues even when you move to another app like it can continue when you are reading as well.
Re: sound issuesphoneboy Dec 30, 2010 5:55 PM (in response to tarrant)I have a 2004 with the sound problem. I don't use sound much. Still going to chk with B&N CS about a fix. Hope an update takes care of it. Not looking fwd tosetting up a new one. Downloading/sideloading all my books n files would suck outloud
Re: sound issuesLu-La-Bell Dec 30, 2010 10:15 PM (in response to tarrant)
I'm having the same sound issues and my serial number starts with 2004.....
Re: sound issuesMelMH Jan 2, 2011 1:44 PM (in response to tarrant)
I've had 2 so far and both had/have sound problems. The first one started with a 2004 and the one I have now starts with a 2005. Interesting thought.
Re: sound issuesfurg Jan 8, 2011 5:13 AM (in response to tarrant)
I have had my Nook Color a little over 4 weeks and have had no problems with my sound or anything else. My serial number starts with 2004.
Re: sound issuesT-TW Jan 9, 2011 6:25 PM (in response to furg)Took my NookColor back today for an exchange. The sales person said that they had heard about the sound issue and it was a bad batch. After confirming that I didn't have any sound, by trying to listen to a book, he gave me a new one, deactivated the old one, helped me register the new one, and checked the sound. So far so good, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Ialso bought the anti-glare protective sheets while I was there. They are well worth the money. Now I'm just waiting on my cover to arrive in the mail.
Re: sound issuestarrant Dec 30, 2010 8:25 PM (in response to Sofia_NW)yeah serial number was definitely a straw grasp. As far as when it loses audio, both of mine basically never had sound after waking up. No testing to see if anything else triggered the issue. I will exchange one more time, if new one has the same issue I'll try the factory rest. The current unit has a couple dead pixels as well so.... This is why I hardly every buy anything in the first months of release.
Re: sound issuesScottSVL Dec 30, 2010 10:39 PM (in response to Sofia_NW)
I've had my replacement NC for almost a week now and no sound problems so far. The SN of the new unit begins with 2005. I recommend replacing any unit with sound problems until you get one that works ALL the time. Don't take any gobbledy-goob from BN about future fixes - just get a new one.
Re: sound issuestarrant Jan 2, 2011 7:57 AM (in response to Sofia_NW)Looks like the third unit was a charm for me. Had it a couples days now with no issues, so, yay.
Re: sound issuesDAED1 Jan 2, 2011 11:03 AM (in response to Sofia_NW)
I am having sound issues as well. Just bought mine Two weeks ago. It worked for the video, stopped after that. I also bought ear phones to try to see if they would work. No. I also can't seem to load Pandora. The loading circle just keeps spinning...spinning.
Re: sound issuessasso1214 Jan 4, 2011 4:05 PM (in response to Sofia_NW)
I just got off the phone with Barnes and Noble customer service after a long, 1hr and 45 minute wait. The customer support woman told me - and she checked with a senior engineer there - that ALL nook colors have this sound issue and that if I return my unit I will have the same exact issue. So I am not sure what to do. She said that a future software update is in the works that MAY fix it.
If that is the case - that they all have this issue like the rep said, aren't they treading on class action lawsuit territory or something? Shouldn't they make SOME kind of announcement?
On another note, this is my SIXTH NookColor. The first one had a dead pixel, the second one had the sound issue, the third and fourth ones had screen flicker issue, the fifth in store one had the screen flicker issue (look that one up - dim brightness will have some screens flickering when there is a grey background - especially noticable on the quick menu screen) - and now my 6th one has the sound issue again.
What do you think I should do? I am afraid if I go back to the store I will get one with a screen flickering problem, which is far worse than the sound issue - I am willing to wait for a software fix for this, but I would like if SOMEONE from B&N would respond to confirm if this is the case or not??
Definitely widespread. Re: sound issuesGoochPuppy Jan 6, 2011 11:16 AM (in response to Sofia_NW)
Considering the number of comments here and on various Android-Nook forums, the sleep-to-sound failure problem is very common and consistent.
It has not been fixed with the 1.0.1 software patch.
My serial ends with 200A.
I wish that B&N would admit the problem and issue a recall; but perhaps they don't even know which batches are affected, or are still determining if a software patch can fix it.
Meanwhile, they would save a lot of customer frustration and their own time if they had an online or email exchange initiation process. Many of us are a long way from a B&N store ... 'cuz they have been closing quite a few of them!
Re: sound issuesMama_Mayhem Jan 16, 2011 12:24 PM (in response to Sofia_NW)
Count me in as having the sound glitch. I'm a little frustrated, I'm on my 5th Nook color!
The tally for me so far:
#1 had bubbles under the screen that were pretty big
#2 the bezel was separated on the bottom and you could see the LCD screen through it, I also had flickering, and weird yellow banding on the display.
#3 Bezel was separating on the left and there was dust under the glass
#4 Had a brown finger print under the glass (you could see the swirls and everything)
#5 The sound vanishes when it goes to sleep and it flickers
I tried calling tech support and all they would tell me is that they are working on a fix and to just do a soft or hard reset. I've had this nook less then a day! So far Barnes and Noble brick and mortar has been fantastic but they are a hour drive round trip and I've done it 3 times so far.
Re: sound issuesMama_Mayhem Jan 16, 2011 12:25 PM (in response to Mama_Mayhem)
Oh and for the record my serial starts with #2010
Re: sound issuesbnbcar Jan 16, 2011 8:35 PM (in response to Mama_Mayhem)
I still think the issue boils down to a rare race condition in the software on certain devices. It seems that this condition is out of the end user's hands, though, since nothing you try to do to reset it doesn't work.
My first device was a 200490* and my second device is a 200490*. The first was no sound, the second seems fine with no sound problems or flickering issues that I can see.
What I expect to see from B&N, though, is a public admittance of a problem "We have identified a problem that happens in rae cases where the sound will not work after the device goes to sleep" and either admittance that the problem has not been narrowed down, or a solution "We have not yet identified the problem but are looking into it" or "The solution for this problem is to update your firmware/replace our hardware/etc".
The fact that B&N hasn't even commented on this issue is just sad. We don't even know if they have recognized a problem exists or that they are looking into fxing it in any way. And who is to say my new device doesn't hit this race condition sometime and now I don't have sound again?
PLEASE B&N, let us know you hear us. Don't make me regret buying what is an otherwise incredible device.
On a side note, I'd love to see someone who is havintg this problem who is feeling a bit more adventurous than me root their device and see if the problem persists. There is even a custom 2.2 firmware for the Nook Color that would be interesting to see if it fixes the problem.
Re: sound issuesUltimoose Jan 19, 2011 6:54 AM (in response to bnbcar)
Just to chime in as I too had the sound issue. For the person who asked about rooting, the problem persists under Android 2.1 and Android Froyo 2.2 so it's not an OS issue per se.
I was able to exchange mine last night without any problem at the store but I had my receipt and it had only been a week since I'd purchased the device. I did test the new in the store using Pandora to make sure it was working at the time. I rooted it with 2.1 and it still works and I used 2.2 booted off a SD card and it still works.
I don't think it's strictly a hardware issue although it has to be at least in part since the Nooks all have identical firmware and OS's. Since a hard boot will 'wake up' the sound circuitry it's possible that something could be modified to force it to wake up properly on an unlock.
My store was a little cagey about admitting if there were any problems, fairly evasive on if they'd seen any such problems before. But they were happy to let me swap it out and then test the new one in front of them. YMMV.
Re: sound issuesMama_Mayhem Jan 21, 2011 6:32 AM (in response to Ultimoose)
The one I exchanged previously was 3 days old and they still refused to exchange just based on the sound issue.

Is there another B&N store near you? If so, I'd take the refund and re-purchase the NC at the other store.
I don't understand their logic, though...they'll give you a refund before they will do an exchange? How does that make sense?
Re: sound issuesRobert_Stark_ Jan 31, 2011 9:43 PM (in response to Sofia_NW)
The recently release firmware upgrade v1.1 has fixed my sound issue.
Re: sound issuesjheengr Feb 2, 2011 6:04 PM (in response to Sofia_NW)
What bothers me is B&N continues to sell the device with the known audio problem. That is irresponsible! I'm still waiting for THE audio fix after 5 weeks of calling CS. Certainly they've known about it longer, so it must be a pretty lame technical team working it to not have a fix by now.
Re: sound issuesAtomant Feb 2, 2011 6:46 PM (in response to jheengr)

Did you get the newest update 1.1.0 ?
Re: sound issuesdvdcatalyst Feb 2, 2011 10:10 PM (in response to Sofia_NW)
About 3 weeks, did a lot of things with it that are not explained in the manual, but no sound issues whatsoever. Got about 20+ hours of video playback done on it, maybe 10 hours of pandora, and no problems whatsoever.

- Abstract
- Background: During 2008, Singapore experienced its largest ever outbreak of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), resulting in 29 686 cases, including four cases of encephalitis and one fatality. Methods: A total of 51 clinical specimens from 43 patients with suspected HFMD at the National University Hospital, Singapore were collected for virus isolation and identification by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and sequencing. Results: Enteroviruses were identified in 34 samples (66.7%), with 11 samples (21.6%) being positive for enterovirus 71 (EV71). Other non-EV71 enteroviruses (including coxsackievirus A4, A6, A10, and A16) were identified in 23 samples (45.1%). The most prevalent virus serotypes were CA6, CA10, and EV71. CA6 and CA10 accounted for 35.3% of all HFMD cases, which may explain the high transmissibility and low fatality that characterized this unprecedented epidemic associated with relatively mild disease. Phylogenetic analyses of 10 circulating EV71 strains indicated that they belonged to two subgenogroups, i.e., B5 (80%) and C2 (20%). The VP1 sequences of the 2008 EV71 strains also exhibited continuous mutations during the outbreak, reflecting the relatively high mutation rate of the EV71 capsid protein, which may have implications for future vaccine development. Conclusions: A safe and effective vaccine against EV71 is certainly warranted in view of its potential neurovirulence and its role in HFMD epidemics of recurring frequency with resultant fatalities in Asia, as well as other parts of the world.

Dear all,
My baby was born at 29 weeks 1240g, and he spent almost 3 months at the hospital. During that time I kept my milk supply and he was bottle fed (my milk) until 2-3 weeks before his due date. Then, I was allowed to breastfeed him at the hospital 4 meals during the day, while during the night he received bottle with my milk. I think that breastfeeding saved him as he stopped turning blue while being fed .. He ate between 30 and 80-90 grams, meals varying in size, but was quite happy on the breast.
After a month at home, he gained 760g, but our doctor said it was not enough and I should give him formula supplement and shorten the feeding. Our feeding could last for an hour not recommended 10min/breast. From day one I had a lot of milk, so quantity was not an issue (200g per pumping session), but he though that baby was not strong enough to nurse effectively enough. So, I started adding bottle with my milk, after nursing, and my baby was nursing less and less per each meal. Now, he has 3700g and nurses only 30-50g per meal, and he needs more than 100g/meal.
Recently he started fussing, crying even when I start lowering him to the breast...
Yesterday, I tried to breastfeed him without the bottle and he seemed inconsolable. He ate 40g every hour for 4 hours and then he fell asleep.... With breast+bottle he usually sleeps 2h, because the feedings last more than an hour with him falling asleep and crying...
With him screaming so much and eating less, nursing less, I am becoming desperate, especially that my milk supply is losing this battle as well !
I am afraid that I am torturing him with nursing and depriving him of food and sleep and yet he used to nurse 100g in 10min... Some say I should stick to the breast only and survive couple of days of crying... but I am afraid that it would hurt him. What if he does not have strength to nurse effectively? Why would that change when he was better at it when he was smaller?
Sorry if my post was too long... I am totally desperate for advice!!
Thanks in advance!!!

Couple donates $8 million to Marquette
Money will establish journalism fellowship

A Minneapolis couple has donated about $8 million to Marquette University in Milwaukee to establish a journalism fellowship.
Peter and Patricia Frechette made the donation in honor of Patricia's parents, Perry and Alicia O'Brien, who graduated from Marquette in the 1930s. Perry O'Brien was a longtime reporter with the Janesville Gazette and WCLO radio.
The partnership with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is aimed at bringing journalists from all different types of media to Marquette for an academic year to work with students on in-depth public service journalism projects.
The fellowship begins this fall.
