Blake Baskin - Army; Cpl
Cpl Baskin was born May 12, 1989 from that day forward he always worked hard to achieve what he was working towards. He crawled at a very early age walked at a even earlier age ran before I know what was happening and began school with the attitude one day he would be something amazing and do something special. He has always loved helping people. Once we were driving down a major road and there was a McDonalds and he asked if he could have two cheeseburgers. Even with us running late for our meeting I pulled into the drive-thru and got him his burgers. As we pulled out into the street we were caught by the red light I looked over before I knew it he had jumped out of the car and gave one of his cheese burgers to a homeless man standing in the median holding a sign asking for help he was a vet and injured unable to work. He was only 7 at the time. Tears filled my eyes with such PRIDE that my son was so loving and caring for the unfortunate. Jumping ahead to High School he hated it, was always a struggle to get him up out of bed and to school - a fight every day until he turned 17. His brother had just graduated from High School and joined the United States Army as he was the Grandson of a Retired Lieutenant Commander who served 25 yrs and traveled many places so the military was in his blood. On or around his 17th birthday he came to me and in such an adult voice asked Mama I really would like to quit school obtain my GED and join the United States Army. Knowing how much I too hated school yet fought my way through to the end know it was not something that Cpl Baskin was going to do therefore I hesitantly agreed and signed away. One important part of this story is that Cpl Baskin grew up fast due to the many abusive relationships his mother had endured over the years and knew how NOT to treat the ones that you love. So with tears flowing down my face and a tight grip around his neck I gave him one last baby hug he was going to be coming home a MAN not just a MAN but a Soldier that wants to put his life on the line for his country and what he believes in. He helps his mother out every month and worries about her as much as he does keeping himself safe at war. You see, Cpl Baskins mother suffers from Severe Bipolar, Anorexia, Bulemia, PTSD from years and years of abuse mental physical and emotional. He has won a few awards and is currently deployed in Afghanistan on his second tour. He is planning a trip to Miami Florida during his tour break in August and is in fact paying the way for several of his fellow soldiers aka friends allowing them to be able to join in as they to have become a part of his family and Cpl Baskin will tell you FAMILY COMES BEFORE ANYTHING. So Cpl Baskin, Blake Andrew I want to say thank you for being the person you have become the MAN you are growing to be and the dedication to all you care about most importantly your family and close friends. So I Dawn Kimberly Smith Zajicek am PROUD to say I am the Mother of not one but two heros that served and still serving for our great country and what we believe in. Hooah.

Im at a loss! She is fed, she is changed she even falls limp asleep after a feeding but as soon as i lay her in her crib, SCREAMMMMMMMmm and she wont stop! She loves the swing and i let her stay in it one night outta exhaustion but i do not want to do that. Co sleeping is not an option cause i wont sleep well with her in our Queen bed, and the side lining postion doesnt work well with us, my boobs are saggy and i have to hold the skin up so she can breath and stop squrming.
Some nights it takes up 2 hours to get her down with multiple feedings in between trying to get her down. Im a new mom to nursing, my son didnt latch well so i always wanted a nursing baby and i have one BUT I hate feeling frustrated, Hubby bothers me . he has a sore back and sleeps or naps while im up still with miss fussy pants . Im a SAHM and have her all day and every feeding he even puts earplugs in his ears at night!! Im trying hard to not thrown in the towel. I tried formula. YIKES YES she doesnt like it at all. I pump to have some BM on hand for hubby to give one bottle around dinner so i can have a break but the last few days i get excuses as to why he cant feed her so i dont bother and I feed her. SO between the fussiness with her, the lack of sleep and feeling like a single parent WHAT TO DO???? Sorry this is LONG!! I just dont want to quit after a month now and yet i dont like feeling like im the only one taking care of her...( I have a 5 yr old son who i also feel like is neglected cause of Kaelas fussiness and feedings )

By Kevin Wilson: CNJ staff writer
A bill to revamp the Eastern New Mexico Rural Water Authority got to Gov. Bill Richardson's desk without springing any leaks.
House Bill 15 passed the House and Senate on unanimous votes, and will move the authority from a joint powers agreement to a utility authority in June.
Gov. Bill Richardson has 20 days from Thursday to either sign the bill, veto it or issue a pocket veto by taking no action.
Gilbert Gallegos, a spokesman for Richardson, said it is policy not to comment on any pending legislation.
Clovis Mayor Gayla Brumfield, who chairs the authority, said she has no doubt Richardson will sign the bill into law.
"We feel very comfortable he will sign it," Brumfield said. "He knows this is critical for the eastern side of the state."
The authority is responsible for the creation and management of the Ute Water Project.
The project calls for a a pipeline moving water from the Ute Reservoir in Quay County to eight authority members — Clovis, Portales, Texico, Elida, Grady, Melrose and Curry and Roosevelt counties.
Utility authority status would allow the ENMRWA to sue and be sued, issue revenue bonds and use eminent domain for right-of-way issues, among other provisions.
Officials are now securing funding for the project, and hope to break ground by 2011.
Being an authority, Brumfield said, should help command more influence when seeking appropriations than the previous joint powers agreement structure.
"It didn't really have a lot of teeth in it," Brumfield said. "It wasn't a structured entity to be the vehicle to move this project forward."
Brumfield said it was a positive sign that the bill, introduced by Rep. Anna Crook, R-Clovis, went through the House, the Senate, the House Taxation and Revenue Committee, the House Judicial Committee, the Senate Conservation Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee and received unanimous votes in each.

|Camillo Duin
Forsooth, my lad! I only have eyes for our exotic bar-owner. You'll notice that I took the manacles, but only after your fair lass had been removed. If, however, you wish to have them back, I will ask no questions...
I will make no claim on the shield ring, then, unless nobody wants it, but I can get benefit from it and be loathe to toss it aside.
|Rullis Stillman
I would just skim over the shopping and such...
If we divide the ever-burning candles up, that's 4 a piece.
I have no problem with Cam having the force ring. But if no one is going to take it, I'll take it. :)
Speaking of PbP time, I'm running a Legacy of Fire PbP where I started when my wife was pregnant with our first child. The PCs are now 8th level and my son is 3.5 years old. Hopefully we'll be able to finish before he's old enough to want to join the game.
|Camillo Duin
|DM Devon
I remember vaguely that a couple of you folks may be closer to the Eastern seaboard. If that is the case, good luck and stay safe!
So here is what I am reading...
Contract with Alderan Foxglove (signed) --> Stay in party treasury. (Who carries?
+1 Studded Leather --> Rullis
+1 dogslicer (short sword) --> Sell
+1 Bastard Sword --> Sell
+1 Vicious Longsword --> Stay in party treasury. (Who carries?)
MW Scimitar --> Sell
6 alchemist orbs (purpose unknown, 2 red, 2 green, 2 black) Stay in party treasury. (Cam has one each color, who has rest?)
2 potions Tree Shape --> ?
2 potions Speak with Animals -->?
1 potion of Barkskin +2 --> ?
3 vials drow poison --> ?
Unidentified magic necklace --> Vidar will identify.
Everburning Torch --> Stay in party treasury. (Who carries?)
24 everburning candles --> Each person gets 4?
4 everburning skull candles --> Sell
1 Ring of Force Shield --> Cam or Rullis
1 Box of Sand (Magic Shielding?) --> Vidar
Vidar identifies the amulet as an amulet of protection +1 w/ the added ability to cast "False Life" once per day as a free action (1d10+10). Note that the amulet is in the shape of the Thassilonian star that has featured so prominently elsewhere.
|Camillo Duin
Yes, if you are hunkering down back east, all the best to you and yours!
Rullis gets the shield ring as far as I am concerned. How long is the False Life effect? The +10 implies 10 hours if I recall the spell correctly. I suggest the barbarian consider using it. I think Kithian has the vicious sword. Camillo will carry all the alchemists' orbs if no one wants them, but I think it would be an option for a ranged/back row type.
|DM Devon
1.Actually its both +10 HP and 10 hour duration. This was enchanted at max level.
2.Kithian was carrying the vicious sword but Cam was at some other point just to carry it. I wasn't sure if someone planned on using it or caddying it for the party.
3 You have back of the party types? You need to look over your combat logs some time. ;p Vidar getting knocked out doesn't count :p
|Camillo Duin
Actually, I was thinking of Rullis, Kerrec, and Vidar. Just because you successfully pull us all into the scrum doesn't belie the fact that those three generally try to stay back and use ranged attacks (or magic). Camillo might consider using the vicious sword if Kithian does not want it, but I think his hp might not be up to the task.
|DM Devon
|Rullis Stillman
Rullis will take the other three orbs. I'll have to look up what they do again. And adding Ring of Force Shield to my list. Unless someone else wants it, I'll take 1 potion of Tree Shape and 1 potion of Speak with Animals. The other two to Vidar? One of the melee types should take the potion of Barkskin.
Kerrec should carry the Foxglove contract, he's good with those document thingies. Rullis can carry the everburning torch as well, but he is not touching the vicious sword or the poison.
|Camillo Duin
|Kerrec Valorian
Man, Sandy was quite a storm. I live about 400 miles northeast from where it made landfall and we still lost all sorts of trees. We haven't had power since 6:30 last night.
Kerrec would provide counsel regarding the poison but others would have to make their own decision about whether they would want to use such a base form substance. ;-)
There's nothing on the list Kerrec would want other than some Everburning candles. He's hoping the party split of gold and Foxglove's next payment will help him improve his armor.
|Kithian Darlok
Yeah, if I am moving back to the main front line meat shield with the loss of our samurai friend I will need better armor to keep me alive. Also, I don't need the sword, sell it for profit.
|Camillo Duin
|Vidar Ekstrand
|DM Devon
|Camillo Duin
I believe I have two tasks - creating an epic for Kerrec to record for our patron and spending all available time with Ameiko. If I can pursue those goals at the same time, it would definitely be a win for Camillo. ;-)
|Kerrec Valorian
Kerrec will report his findings to the church, including writing off a report to send to The First Bank in Kaer Maga, and to the sheriff. He will also be studying tomes related to demons and the planes that are kept at the cathedral. If he has the funds he'll try to upgrade his armor. Finally, he will be waiting patiently for Camillo's truly masterful story that he will transcribe for Foxglove.
|Vidar Ekstrand
|Kithian Darlok
Kithian will show Reggie off to the black smith, proceed to get stinking drunk and chase any woman in reach, then pass out on the floor. Get up in the afternoon, eat and drink until evening, then proceed to get stinking drunk, chase any woman in reach then pass out on the floor and always hope that the next leap is the leap home.
Or into some womans bed, he is good either way.
|Kithian Darlok
Oh I do need a better weapon and armor if we can find them, maybe a magical Falchion and Hide Shirt? I think that is the same as Chain Shirt but cheaper. Maybe something with natural armor also.
|Vidar Ekstrand
"He fought a prodigious battle against the dreaded foe of sobriety, decency and common sense. In the end, with valiant and almost leonine strenght he triumphed and spend the rest of the evening face down in a pool of his own vomit."
I MAY have to file a little on that to make it sound a bit more...heroic.
|Kithian Darlok
|Rullis Stillman
Rullis will spend time at the cathedral, learning and practicing writing scrolls for two days (as stated in my previous post) whenever he is not accompanying the others for visiting officials and merry-making. He'll spend 500 gp of his share of the loot on the scrolls, assuming his share of the loot is high enough.
|Vidar Ekstrand
|Kithian Darlok
|Vidar Ekstrand
|Camillo Duin
|Kithian Darlok
|DM Devon
All told you pull a cool $1000 gold pieces of mixed coins per person with an additional $1500 in credit for use throughout Sandpoint. Ameiko agrees in principle to help you sell all your stuff (which is where you see some greater profit) and this total includes the sale of all items you noted above plus the rewards from the Goblinsquash Stables for the goblin ears.
The next two days pass quickly, with business flowing smoothly and each of you having plenty of time to see people or engage in activities that replenish your hearts/minds/lust for life. The Sheriff is due back on the third day and the Mayor has requested you all meet to finalize comparing notes.
Cam and Ameiko spend time going over the bard's epic while Ameiko finalizes her fathers funeral arrangements. (Set for Day 14) The time is close but not quite intimate in the fullest sense with Toshio lurking at the edges and the stress of funeral planning hanging in the air. Toshio announces that he plans to head East to a remote Tian outpost to send word to the family of all that transpires, and notes that he will return once that task is complete.
Kithian is afforded every opportunity to celebrate and find himself "face down" in a number of interesting scenarios. Das Korvut and the half orc spend much of those two days talking loudly and drinking heavily. By the night of Day 12 Korvut has mentioned to Kithian that he has work for the group if they need something to do after the Sherrif returns and that you all should visit him after your meetings.
Vidar has ample time and resources to scribe spells, make purchases and further his studies as well as celebrate. He does note that the book of Thasillonian knowledge is starting to itch at his brain a little begging for use, but nothing overwhelming at the moment.
Rullis scribes then scribes some more but is easily able to find any one if not all of his companions at any time he emerges from the writing desks of the cathedral.
Kerrec drafts his multiple reports, for the cathedral, the First Vault and for the Sheriff, careful to make not of individual details that might be relevant to each group. Cam sits down and dictates the story and Kerrec is able to capture it perfectly. The cathedral lost many of its tomes on the planes in the fires of a few years ago but some remain and others have come to replace them. Kerrec is able to while away his remaining time easily lost in those pages. (Kno:Planes? What are you trying to figure out?
Let me know how you want to spend your money. Between all the smiths in Sandpoint you can acquire magic arms and armor up to a +2 enchantment modifier at market - 15%. Everything else is a case by case. Any standard item is available from the town at market -20%. Let me know what you all buy. The meeting with Hemlock and the mayor is around 10am so you have a few hours on Day 13 to convene and make you way as a group. Let me know if you want to just jump to that meeting.
|Camillo Duin
|DM Devon
|Vidar Ekstrand
|Kithian Darlok
|DM Devon
|Rullis Stillman
Given the availability of magically enhanced weapons in town, and the trouble that they have recently faced fighting beasts that mundane weapons just did not hurt, Rullis will trade in his fishing spear for a new one that is magically enhanced.
Sell LongSpear - Gain 2.5 gp
Purchase +1 LongSpear: 2305gp x 0.85 = 1960 gp
Purchase Scroll Case: 1gp x 0.80 = 8 sp
Scribe 6 Level-2 scrolls: 75 x 6 = 450 gp x 0.80 = 360 gp (swapping one of the Lesser Restorations for a Silence)
Scribe 2 Level-1 scrolls: 12.5 x 2 = 25 gp x 0.80 = 20 gp
1960 + 0.8 + 360 + 20 - 2.5 = 2323.3 gp spent
That's about all of his funds. Leaves him 176 gp and 7 sp left from his share of the loot. Needs to start saving for a new Cure Light Wand.
Character sheet updated with new spell selections.
|Camillo Duin
|Kithian Darlok
|Kerrec Valorian
Would Toshio be willing to repay the loan Kerrec gave him before he leaves for parts unknown? I believe it was 575 gold. That would make it so Kerrec wouldn't have to purchase his a new armor on a portion credit. He's looking to upgrade to +1 Scale Mail.
He'a also looking to have a holy symbol of Abadar carved into his crossbow with the name "Swift Judgment". Not sure what the cost for that would be.
|DM Devon
One way or another (Be it Toshio or his sister) Kerrec gets his funds back. As to the carving...artisan work is usually charged in silvers per hour but the nature of the tools to modify a magical weapon would be problematic...lets say...25gp
Haversack 1 in 3 (3): 1d3 ⇒ 3
Cam is in luck a Haversack is available.
|Camillo Duin
|Kerrec Valorian
So I will purchase +1 Scale Mail for 1200GP, 100 Crossbow bolts for 5GP and 25GP for artisan work on crossbow for a total of 1230GP in purchases.
Oh and regarding the study of demons its more of a role-playing thing to justify putting points in knowledge areas when he levels up.
|Vidar Ekstrand
|DM Devon
|DM Devon
|Camillo Duin
Other than a bit more shopping, Camillo plans to be at the 'Dragon hanging out with Ameiko and performing.
Perform (sing): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Perform (sing): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Perform (sing): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Perform (sing): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
|Vidar Ekstrand
Floating disc 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Obscuring mist 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
sleep 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Locate object 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
See invisibility 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Spider climb 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
Hmmm, succes on one 1st lv spell and two 2nd lv spells, that's 90 gold so far.
|Vidar Ekstrand
Masterwork Backpack
10 Iron vials
Pocket watch
2 scroll cases
2 Shaving kit
5 bars of soap
10 Stove can
Cooking kit
50 cups of tea
That's a little under 360 gp, I'll deduct 400, never hurts to grease the wheels a little.
Spells from the goblins spellbook
Fear: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Chill Touch: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Interrogation: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Unseen Servant:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Expeditious Retreat:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Feather Fall:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Enlarge Person:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Blindness:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Deafness:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Scare: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Wow, that was not very good, only got two.
|Camillo Duin
Dumb questions, but I can't find it in my search - did we ever search Tsuto's body? I can't remember if we found thieves' tools on him - I know a character of mine did in another game, but can't even find that we checked him over this time with the fight being in the street and all. Question #2 - what type of manacle was Shalelu being held with? Standard or Masterwork?
#3 - I'm assuming that the extra equipment that Camillo has all got sold - MW Ranseur, heavy steel shield, etc.
I'm looking at Camillo picking up some alchemical items, maybe, but not a lot. Every time I get far enough into the list to find what I need, I run out of time, sorry.
|DM Devon
1.You didn't really, you ended up taking it to Ameiko pretty much straight away (you got distracted by Orik too).
2. Standard. Goblins w/ MW Manacles who we kidding? :p
3. I did not assume the sale of Cam's other things in the final totals like the Ranseur and what not so let me know what you want to do
4. Feel free to hand wave and grab whatever. As we move into the the meeting with he mayor its not like you can't figure it out and say "oh yeah I bought some of those." I promise Hemlock won't attack you for at least a couple of real world days so you have time to figure it out.
@Vidar: Ouch on the goblin's book. But good job on the other. You are practically a walking library now.
I am ready to start the meeting w/ the Sheriff whenever you guys are. Sorry I have been a little spotty on the posting the last week plus, things have been sorta crazy.
|Vidar Ekstrand
I'm good to go on.
I figure there are a few days between what we have been doing and the meeting, so if I need a day or two to do something I can take it retroactively.
And yeah, bad on spells, but they were mostly Necromancy anyway. And Vidar HAS to be a walking library if he is to become a Loremaster (which is still the way I'm leaning for now).

Erin Corrigan used to spend lots of time traveling abroad. She may have visited four continents, but her adopted home has piqued her interest just as much.
"One day I was walking through Columbus and I went to some art shows and I went to a concert afterward, and I realized that I was having just as good a time in Columbus, Ohio as I could have in Switzerland or Japan or anywhere," Corrigan said. "That was a really huge moment for me, because I was like, 'Oh my God, there's all this stuff going on here.'"
Corrigan has helped plan popular DIY festival Independents' Day since its inception five years ago, but this year she has taken the reins. Like the experience of traveling, she believes Independents' Day should expose people to new things.
"There's something there that people have never seen before, that they didn't even know existed," she said. "That's one of the things that I'm really passionate about is bringing to light some things that maybe nobody knew was going on."
Independents' Day — this year on Sept. 15 — is just one of many events that Corrigan helps to organize in the city. She's been volunteering and planning events for Capitol Square Rotary for more than five years now, and she runs the group's early-spring fundraiser, Music in the Round.
For Music in the Round, which Corrigan says will return to Via Vecchia winery Feb. 16, prominent local singer-songwriters perform in an intimate setting to raise money for a new music school at an orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya. Naturally, the event's world-traveling coordinator helped put on a concert at the orphanage earlier this year.
So what's the key to organizing successful events?
"You've got to have passion more than anything," she said. "You've just got to be excited about things — really excited, like you can't sleep at night kind of excited about it."

I work in a large college, and I'll be using the nursery there. Luckily, in Britain, we're pretty much entitled to take breastfeeding breaks, so although I won't be able to make every session, I should be able to nurse her at least twice a day.
We did have the argument I predicted last night, and he's tried quite a bit harder today. That, however, might have been due to the fact that Lilly woke up in the night twice for the first time in weeks!
Thank you so much for your advice and for listening to me, I really appreciate it more than you know, and I think I'm going to try the direct request route! We'll see how far it gets me. Usually it's a cycle as pp have said, i explode, he gets better, I leave off he gets worse. I don't want to be reminding him all the time, but if that's how it's got to be for now... I guess I adapt quicker than him too
to all you lovely lovely ladies

Why are we losing congregations? There are many factors. If
I'm painting with a broad brush, I'd say that it is because we are largely rural, white and older. What can we do to ensure a vital future? Focus on urban

God is concerned with the health of women. God cares about teenagers who end up in a lifetime of poverty. Jesus healed the bleeding woman 2,000 years ago, and I think if he walked the streets today, he just might hand her a packet of pink pills.

Complete strangers came together on Thursday to celebrate the gift of life.
Click here to watch Justin Fujioka's report.
Aresio Domingo has been waiting for this day for almost seven years.
"I'm so surprised that I'm going to meet them and I'm glad to meet them," he said. "I'm so happy. I'm so excited."
In a rare opportunity, Domingo, a local carpenter, got a chance to thank the family of the liver donor who gave him a second chance at life.
Emilio Martinez, 25, died in a construction accident on Maui in 2007 and his parents decided to donate his organs. His mother Elsa Ponce and sister came all the way from Argentina to meet Domingo.
"When you're faced with a tragedy such as this, that's all there is to it," Ponce said. "Giving life, it is giving life. It's very simple. It's not complicated. That's what should be done."
Martinez's liver saved Domingo from terminal liver cancer.
"So far, in that time, I feel great," said Domingo. "Never changed."
"For me, I always want to know everything, and it's very important for me to get to know everything I can know about Emilio's recipients," Ponce said. "It's very important for me to see the quality of life that they have because of him. Because this is what it is, it's donating life."
Domingo said, "I say very, very thank you, very much. It's very important to save lives. Just like mine."
Legacy of Life Hawaii organized the meeting. It said it's always looking for new organ donors, especially since every organ is not suitable for donation.

We stayed for 19 days and got an upgrade for a different apartment in the same house (which had an excellent view on the Pudong skyline in the 30th floor).
The apartment itself is located slightly out of the city centre, 2 stops away from the People Square and Shanghai Circus World; the surrounding area is very nice, with many restaurants, food markets and some smaller malls to get all the necessary things to have a good stay.
Olivia is an excellent host and took care of the most important parts for us on the first days. We definitely will come again.
We stayed there for 18 days and i really enjoyed it. The view from bedroom is AMAZING! U can see the bund from the window when there is no fog. Got some little problems at first and it was fixed straight the day after. Its just 2 stops from People Square and like 20-22 yuan to the bund on night time! The area is nice too, many chinese cafes, shops and KFC right in front of. Also its like a few stops away by bus to Shanghai Circus=)
Olivia took great care of me. Whenever there were any questions or tasks to be done (such as registering with the police, which is a normal procedure in China) or little things around the flat, She was very helpful and accomodating. She was very flexible and helpful to any of my requests. It is definetely a repeat for me. The flat has got all need stuff, as broadband, kitchen utensils, washing machine, etc.
Extremely nice and helpful host,very nice to deal with.The room is nice and clean,location is just 1 min by the highway,so every place is relatively close by to reach by taxi,also the subway station is a nice 7 min walk.7/11 downstairs open 24h....excellent experience overall.
Some things are moved around in the picture, but pretty accurate, as advertised. Clean, comfortable bed, good light, good shower, serviceable kitchen. Hosts were very helpful, with good information on getting there, things in the neighborhood (there's also a gym nearby) and apartment upkeep. 10 min walk to subway, train station is even a short walk.
My first stay w Wimdu and was a bit nervous, but very satisfied.
Just so you won't be surprised, host does require a deposit, and utilities are charged at the end, but no problems with settling up.
Das Apartment ist ungepflegt und schmutzig. Innerhalb sieben Tagen Aufenthalt wurde nicht einmal geputzt. Selbst Reinigungsmaterial habe ich selbst gekauft. Das Apartment ist nicht zu empfehlen. Die Lage ist zudem sehr laut und kein Kontakt zur Gastgeberin.

The UTEPCollege of Business Administration offers the only AACSB
Accredited business programs in the El Paso border region.
September 24, 2012
The College of Business Administration and the UTEP Alumni Association are proud to present the 2012 Gold Nugget Recipients. These two outstanding alumni have distinguished themselves in their profession and life, given back to their communities and alma mater, and serve as inspiration for future generations of Miners.
Cintron has been CEO of Del Sol Medical Center since 2007 and was instrumental in establishing the hospital as a leading medical center on a national scale.
He is rightfully pleased about its quality accolades, including being designated a top performer in key quality measures by the Joint Commission, a national accreditation organization, and being in the top 5 percent in the nation in maternity services, general surgery and gastrointestinal surgery.
"We now lead in so many areas, and we're proud of that," he said. "Our focus is to continue to maintain great quality care and provide a great patient experience."
Escudero is president and chief executive officer of Sierra Finance, a company that provides capital alternatives to small and mid-size companies. He is also executive vice president and chief financial officer of C&R Distributing, a major distributor of fuel and industrial lubricants, and owner of numerous convenience stores in the region.
One of Escudero's greatest professional achievements came in 2007, when he served as chief financial officer of Petro Stopping Centers L.P. and was instrumental in organizing the sale of the company for more than $700 million. Escudero is also the chair of the El Paso Water Utility Public Service Board and serves on the boards of directors for the El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and Community en Acción, among others.

NBC News has fired the producer it says was responsible for creating the deceptive audio recording of George Zimmerman communicating with a 9-1-1 operator, according to the New York Times. The network is still refusing to release the name of the producer, although according to Times reporter Brian Stelter, the producer is based in Miami and has worked there for a number of years. According to Stelter's network sources, NBC is still insisting the deceptive edit was not done deliberatiely. The network has refused to say how exactly someone could accidentally have edited the tape to make Zimmerman appear to be racially motivated:
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
When the Zimmerman family rightfully sues, the collective Left will implode.
I hope the family gets millions from those lying racists at NBC.
And from the two primary lying racists as well.Sharpton and Jackson.http://electstevedawes.com
And just one guy? I'm not buying it. News stories are put together by teams of people, right?
Notice how they don't name the guy, I doubt that anyone was fired.
Funny how the MSM is so insistent on protecting this liar, but has no problem splattering Zimmerman's name all over the place.
Let's see...1) defamation of character2) inciting a riot3) conspiracy implicit in the two above4) concealing evidence5) altering evidence 6) willful violation of Zimmerman's civil rightsJust for starters.
If that isn't a lawsuit, I don't know what is.
That is true but by the time it get's to editing a lot of the folks Involved in the story are already out of the picture.
Not going to release his name? What's the matter NBC? Afraid his name is going to be drug through the mud like you're doing to Zimmerman, you hypocritical ****s?

Have you ever heard about access keys? Well, I did. And I loved them. Your productivity can be so improved when surfing a web page by avoiding to use the mouse and by using shortcuts, instead.
The bad thing about access keys is that they're often hidden, by default, in the web pages. This doesn't make sense to me.
Take the Twitter home page. How many of you knew that, during a search, you could press CTRL+ALT+n to display the "N new tweets since you started searching" or that you could press CTRL+ALT+s to visit your "settings" page? As a different example, let's consider Wikipedia. Did you know that CTRL+ALT+e lead you to the "edit" mode? Probably not.
Resuming, "accesskey" shortcuts can be very useful. So why they are not displayed by default on the web pages? How should we know about them? And how could we ever remember all of them?
Long time ago, I found this post on how to display the "accesskey" keyboard shortcuts in Firefox and I used it for a while. But I've recently fallen in love with Google Chrome and I was wondering if the same feature was already available.
At first, I googled for a quick solution and I couldn't find anything really useful. Then, I asked on Superuser if what I wanted was somehow possible. After a couple of hours, someone answered my question, claiming he created a new Chrome extension just for that. I must admit I was more impressed by the rapidity of the answer than by the answer itself. If this guy could read my specification and implement a solution in such a short time, there was only one possible consequence: "Creating extension for Google Chrome is easy".
So, I tried by myself.
First of all, I had a look to the "Getting Started" section of the Chrome extensions documentation. As expected, everything was extremely simple. To implement the "accesskey" shortcuts, it took me no more than five minutes. Literally. And now my Twitter page looks like:
Can you see the pink characters close to the links? They are all available "accesskey" shortcuts, a piece of information that was already embedded in the web page but that has just been hidden. Let's see how can we make it visible again via a brand new Google Chrome Extension.
First of all, create a new folder somewhere in your hard drive and call it "shortcuts".
Every Chrome extension is characterized by a "manifest" file, written in json, reporting the "properties" of the extension itself. Inside the "shortcuts" folder, create a new file, named "manifest.json":
"name": "Shortcuts",
"version": "1.0",
"description": "Display the accesskey shortcuts.",
"content_scripts": [{
"matches": ["http://*/*", "https://*/*"],
"css": ["style.css"]
Apart from the name, the version number and the description of the extension, you can notice a "content_scripts" property. This is used to "inject" some code automatically every time a web page is displayed. In our case, we simply want to apply some specific CSS properties to the pages. The "matches" section tells Chrome to apply the transformation to every page using the http or the https protocol.
Now, we just need to create a style.css file (inside the same "shortcuts" folder) containing the needed stylistic information:
textarea[accesskey]:after {
margin-left: 0.3em;
color: Plum;
content: "[" attr(accesskey) "]";
That's all folks. We're done. We can just install our brand new Google Chrome Extensions by visiting the URL:chrome://extension
and clicking on the "Load Unpacked Extension" button.
Using the same strategy, it is obviously possible to apply different CSS transformations. Imagine for a second that you would like to hide all the images from a web page. A CSS like the following would do the job:
img {
display: none;
Hope this help.

Well if you missed church you're either a heathen, didn't read my column first thing or just forgot to spring forward.
I'm actually looking forward to getting another hour of light on the end of the day. Normally, I've been in the other camp on this whole Daylight Saving thing — not happy about getting up in the dark. But my work schedule is such now I just might see the benefit of a little time to do yard work, maybe walk the dogs in the evening.
Something about the time change tends to start drawing people outdoors right away. Apricot trees are starting to bloom and if you can make it to the lake on a day when the wind's not too bad the crappie might even be biting.
Granted, usually my lawn is showing more signs of green by now but I guess I was a little stingy with the water last fall. Who knew the only snow we would get all winter would be so wind-whipped that it wouldn't contain a thimbleful of precipitation.
Even without any moisture all winter this pending spring holds promise. I can't wait to start working on a garden. You would think after last summer's crop failure at the Terry household I would be thinking of playing golf or buying a fishing boat, but no, when I smelled the moist earth after the sprinkler ran the other night the urge to dig came over me. I learned some things in the garden last year and I think the same mistakes won't happen again. Maybe Mother Nature will even cooperate.
My wife is even getting into the spring spirit. Nearly every day this week she's been out on the patio when I came home for lunch. She also jumped the gun on me by buying some seedling kits and planting them at the end of the dining room table.
The seedlings are up now, so she must be watering them regularly but if she doesn't start thinning the crop soon I fear she'll be in trouble. It's early, though, and I think I've got time to replant if she doesn't get a good stand.
On second thought, with the wife taking charge of the early gardening and an extra hour of daylight, maybe I'll just go find an apricot tree to sit under, or maybe head to the lake with a bucket of minnows.
Ahhh, spring fever is going to be hard to cure this year.

Phlox divaricata are mildly fragrant, carefree natives for part shade. Foliage forms a creeping mat of loosely entwined stems with semi-evergreen oblong leaves. Excellent when combined with late spring flowering bulbs or as an underplanting. Prefers a moist soil.
Trim back after flowering to the low green foliage for lush new growth. Do not prune in fall, clean-up winter damage in spring. Can be divided every 3 to 5 years in spring right after flowering or early fall.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

Kayak paddle choice
I am thinking about buying a Malibu Mini-X kayak, 9'3" long, 33" beam. Is there a specific paddle shape and/or length that would be the best fit for this kayaks? I would be using it to fish rivers and small lakes - no super long trips and no hurry. Also, are seats made for specific brands of kayaks, or are they universal? Thanks.
To Miss Nancy - she hated fishing, but loved a fisherman.
you can spend a lot of money on a paddle but I have been using the bending branches whisper paddle ($60) and it has been fine for floating rivers and paddling around on lake coves. I like an oval grip area and adjustable feathering You will probably want a 220 or 230 but its best to try a couple different lengths to see what your most comfortable with.
NRS has a basic paddle with a little wider blade I'm thinking about getting for a little more powerful strokes when on the rivers.
maybe duckypaddler will give you some more info.
I prefer a whitewater style paddle for river fishing. I tend to drift, then make a couple of quick strokes then get back to the business of fishing. I am currently using a werner desperado that is 207 cm long in a 28" wide Manta Ray 14. I previously used a 200 cm whitewater paddle but it was a tad short.
If your cruising on the lake or slowly strolling down river (rather than rapidly moving to avoid something), then Troutman recommendation of 220 cm (plus or minus 5 cm) is a good starting point.
A shorter paddle is a lighter paddle, and you will notice a poor paddle long before you notice a poor boat design, IMO. The whitewater style blades are wider so that you get more bite, which helps with turning (along with the more vertical stroke). The touring blades tend to be longer and you use a wide sweeping stroke (with a slower cadence).
Get to a good paddleshop and test out some paddles while sitting in a kayak. Even better get to a demo day and test on the water. Lots of variables between grip width, torso height, seat height and posture, and just personal preference.
As far as seats go, most work with all boats. You might have to change around the attachment points though.

Like so many other areas of our lives, technology has changed our relationship with education. It has altered everything from the way we take notes and learn to the way we interact with one another.
Twenty years ago, for instance, most people still prepared their school reports on a typewriter. Fifteen years ago, the Internet became an important tool in education. Now, social media is having an impact on school.
We can argue whether or not there is legitimate value to social media as it relates to school, but the fact is that it exists (maybe your class or club has a Facebook page -- certainly your friends have individual pages.)
But the fact of the matter is that you need to know how to use it properly, safely, and effectively.
Let's start with the basics ...
No. 5: Learn how to use social media
While a lot of social media tools are fairly simple to use, there are so many people who use them incorrectly, and we've seen it. The gaffes can be simple typos or epic posts that leave the author in a cloud of his own embarrassment.
The best are the ones where the Facebook user goes online to complain about his job and how horrid his boss is, but forgets his boss is his Facebook friend. Or a guy calls in sick to work, but then posts pictures of himself at a baseball game -- only later to get busted by the boss.
If you know how your social media tool works, you're not likely to commit some gaffe that will come back to bite you.
Learn what happens when you use a social media tool -- and how you can use it without causing damage.
Now, that you know how it works, be sure to use it responsibly ...
No. 4: Respect other people's privacy
One of the biggest problems for average Joes and social media is something that schools and the media have had to deal with for years: getting permission to post someone's picture on your Flickr, My Space or Facebook page.
While you were having a great time at the pep rally, snapping away pictures to commemorate your delightful time, that person in the photo with you that you identified by name may not want their picture posted online.
And it's not because they may have been doing something inappropriate -- they may just not want their picture posted.
True, you can use the argument that it is a public event and they are fair game. While that is certainly legal, it may affect your friendships and relationships.
Do the smart thing and make sure the people who are in your pictures are OK with you posting them.
But if you think you're ready to hit the "return" key, hold up a sec ...
No. 3: Think twice before hitting return
There is a problem with commenting back and forth online: We don't have the subtle facial and verbal cues that we subconsciously rely on when we communicate in person.
That's why those emoticons -- stupid as they are -- are actually useful, when used properly. There's a difference between: "Those pants make your butt look big" and "Those pants make your butt look big. :)"
And when those interpersonal cues are missing, people can misunderstand a comment and a conversation can take a turn for the worse. Once people start letting their emotions off the leash, things get heated. Unfortunately, once you hit "Return," you no longer have control of the statement and it's forever committed to the ether.
Once something is on the Internet, it's out of your hands. As the saying goes, once you've squeezed it, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.
