Hallo Everybody!
First of all, we were surprised to find out, that the keys needed to be picked up in another place. We asked to meet at the apartment as we want to be sure everything is clean and work properly. Host did not accept our proposal. Now we know the reason.
The apartment is a nightmare!. It is DIRTY!!!! Hair and spots all over the place (no wonder, they do not have a vacuum cleaner, only an old and dirty broom). There are 2 ½ bathroom, each of them were in terrible conditions, you will find black spots in the showers (fungus). Doors cannot be looked up as the door knobs are broken.
We (ten people) spend money buying cleaning stuff, and several hours cleaning the apartment. It was not possible to contact the office, as they went home by then.
Next day, we called the office and explained the situation. A lady was sent to clean, but without the most necessary tools to do it professionally, as written in the homepage. There were not enough bed clothes, dishes and pans.
Besides all the dirt, following appliances were not working properly: Washing machine, internet, and AIR CONDITIONING. We would like to mention, that the outside temperature in New York was around 36 and 40 °C.
Dealing with the people of "Casanova Condos" was very unpleasant. They are very rough. We were insulted. Our host "Raphael" never showed up. The manager offered us $400.00 for the cleaning, and all other costs we had (taxis to the office and several calls to Spain and Germany looking for support with WINDU). We never received the money. The explanation was that we broke 4 beds. We were not allowed to go back into the apartment to proof this was not the true.
If you care about cleanliness and good maintenance of the place you want to stay, this is not the place for YOU. We checked at the Consumer Office of New York City and found out "Casanova Condo" is not recommended as a serious business partner
Great location for exploring Manhattan. We are a family of 7 persons. It was very easy to get around either by walking og by subway. We really enjoyed Central Park which was just next door. It was a very quiet street with no noise at night. We also walked down to the Hudson River and saw the 4th of July firework.
We really liked the apartment. The 4 bedrooms gave plenty of room for our big family. 2 bathroom and 1 toilet was perfect. We were eating out the most of the time, so the limited kitchen supply was not a problem. The WIFI speed was very slow if there was many users at the same time.
We had a great week in New York
Great location.
Only chairs and table for four persons to eat - not eight.
Cutlery for five to six people.
Don't count on the washingmachine and dryer.
Heating/aircon of very doubtful quality.
We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. Location is very good just as described (near central park and natural history museum, Amsterdam is full of little restaurants etc). Apartment size amazing for Manhattan. Our only point for improvement is the following: there was no tea towel for drying dishes, and the kitchen could have a few more basic dishes such as wine glasses, extra plates and utensils.
Lovely apartment, fantastic location. Wasnt sure why they felt they had to charge me an extra 150 dollars for the loan of a cot but i would definitely stay there again.
We were a party of 4 attending a conference and needed a three bedroom apartment which is not an easy find for our budget. The day before we were due to fly we were notified by Casanova Condos that our apartment had suffered rain damage and would not be available however they offered another apartment in the same location that actually had a second bathroom for the same price. The condo was great and had everything we needed. We walked everywhere and I was expecting a lot of traffic noise but it was surprisingly quiet. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
This is a really lovely apartment. Everything was as we expected and everything is in good working condition. It is in a really good area around lots of bars and restaurants and very short walking distance to Broadway and Times Square. The only negative is that it can get quite noisy at night with the traffic.
The apartment is a good size and perfectly located in mid-town close to some great bars and restaurants.
Aunque nos cambiaron de apartamento (notificándonoslo antes) por motivos de problemas con el agua, y nos llevaron a un apartamento mucho menos céntrico, el comportamiento del anfitrión fue en todo momento correctísimo. El apartamento que nos dieron no era espectacular, pero si que estaba limpio y correcto.
Fikk aldri tilbakemelding på mail fra Mo!!
Fikk plutselig annen part og forholde meg til de svarte heller ikke på spørsmål jeg sendte. Nøkkelutlevering ved leiligheten gikk bra.

McNeese State football coach Matt Viator. (American Press Archives)
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 5:22 PM
By Alex Hickey / American Press
McNeese State football coach Matt Viator filled a pair of coaching openings on the offensive side of the ball on Wednesday.
Broderick Fobbs will coach the tight ends this season, while Art Asselta will work with the quarterbacks. Fobbs replaces Eman Neghavi, who accepted a coaching position at Texas. Asselta is taking over for David Trahan, who went back into the private sector after serving on the coaching staff last season.
Fobbs is the second former McNeese assistant coach to become a current McNeese assistant coach this summer. The team brought back Lance Guidry as defensive coordinator in June.
"I guess I'm not that bad a guy," Viator joked before turning serious. "It's always good to know that somebody's been on your staff, left, and is willing to come back. I think they enjoyed their time here."
Fobbs was McNeese's wide receivers coach from 2007-11, overseeing such talents as Carlese Franklin, Quinten Lawrence and Steven Whitehead. He coached at Southern Miss last season, but was let go along with most of first-year coach Ellis Johnson's staff after a surprising 0-12 season.
"We're extremely excited to get Broderick back," Viator said. "He's a great coach, a first-class person and when he was available we definitely jumped at that."
Asselta gives McNeese a coach who has experienced coaching and recruiting in Louisiana and elsewhere.
He worked as Southeastern Louisiana's quarterbacks coach in 2010 and '11 before serving as New Hampshire's wide receivers coach last season. The Wildcats didn't lack for offense last year, as evidenced by a 64-61 regulation loss to Old Dominion.
"I've always have had a lot of respect for him," Viator said. "Other coaches, you see them on the road, how they carry themselves recruiting. He comes highly recommended."
Asselta has worked at Sacred Heart and Louisiana-Monroe and graduated from Hofstra in 1999 after playing quarterback for the Flying Dutchmen.

text: Whew! That's a tough question that has been asked and answered 20 gazillion times, I'm sure, but to tell the truth, there is no real answer, only advice and suggestions. Determine a price range and then research places like Gallery of Guns and Budsgunshop.com and get some weapon ideas in your price range. My personal advice is to consider a 9mm first. With today's +P loads, the 9mm is a deadly capable round, and is a controllable round when fired in distress from a handgun. Start with perhaps a Glock, S&W MP9, or the Beretta 92. You may want to begin with a revolver, such as a Ruger LCR in .357. The advantage of a revolver is it is more forgiving to someone new to firearms in a stressful situation. I could write forever on this, but I think you catch my drift ... I hope this has been helpful. Give me your budget and handgun experience & I lay out some good weapons for you to research.

Comfortbale studio with a beatiful garden inside the family house. The host was very kind and polite.

Everything was clean and there was no matter during my stay.

Black Forest murder victims identified
Kenneth Lankford, 46, arrested
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. - The El Paso County Sheriffs Office identified the three people shot in Black Forest Saturday.
Terry Lankford, 51, and Carol Fowler, 51, were killed. Fowler's husband Thomas was also shot. He was in stable condition Sunday night.
The Fowlers were shot at their home in the 11,000 block of Timberlane Court according to the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.
Lankford was killed at her home on Burrows Road.
Deputies arrested Kenneth Lankford, 46, after trying to pull him over early this morning and then chasing him down.
According to a relative of Lankford, Terry and Kenneth were married for several years.
Lankford is charged with two counts of first degree murder, one count of attempted murder and one count of first degree assault. He's being held without bond.
Residents in the Black Forest area were informed of the arrest around 7:30 this morning.
Lankford was spotted around 2 a.m. by a sheriff's deputy. He crashed his car following a pursuit then hid for about 5 hours before being spotted by deputies.
Deputies had blocked off Highway 83 east to Rex Road and County Line Road South to Hodgen Road and told people to stay in their homes while they searched for Lankford.

BMW let loose the details on its ActiveHybrid 5 two months ago and little's been mentioned of it since. If you had seen the liquid blue sedan tucked anonymously into the BMW stand at the Tokyo Motor Show, you might wonder if it's ever going to engage in a public display of affection. The hybridized 535i gets BMW's much-loved turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six and a 55-horsepower electric motor, for a total of 335 hp and a 5.7-second run to 60 miles per hour.It's coming to the United States early next year, so details like exact fuel economy and pricing – which is to say, how much more you'll have to spend to get more fuel economy than a 535i – should be on the way very soon.Read More
_______________Your choices are white and of course black___________________
At this price range, it isn't about saving fuel. It's about bragging to your golf buddies that you have a hybrid. For BMW, it's about showing that they're "green" and good PR.
Meh, I'm less than impressed.

He asked that we set aside at least one evening or one day a week to talk about black history and to keep it alive. We plan to honor his request with a gallery every week this month to celebrate significant events, timelines, births and to remember those who have passed away.

Better Know An Athlete: Men's Beach Volleyball
The first of our Better Know An (Olympic) Athlete series kicks off with two of the best: Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser.
We're 12 weeks away from the summer Olympics in London and it's about time you got to know some of the athletes poised to bring home gold. Over the next three months, our Better Know An Athlete series will be profiling some of America's best and we start this week with the kings of the beach court: Todd "the Professor" Rogers and Phil "the Thin Beast" Dalhausser.
Name: Todd Rogers/Phil Dalhausser
Age: 38/32
Height: 6'2"/6'9"
First Year Pro: 1995/2003
Todd Rogers: AVP Most Valuable Player (2006), AVP Defensive Player of the Year (2004-2008), FIVB Defensive Player of the Year (2006-2008), FIVB Best Setter (2005).
Phil Dalhausser: Led the AVP in blocks (2005-2010), FIVB Best Hitter (2007-2010), FIVB Best Attacker (2008-2010).
Team: One Olympic gold (Beijing 2008), one World Championship gold (2007), one World Championship bronze (2009), four World Tour golds, three World Tour silvers, four World Tour bronzes.
Streaks: From July 2006 to May 2009, Rogers and Dalhausser were in the semifinals of 39 consecutive AVP team events they competed in.
From 2008 to 2010, Rogers and Dalhausser never finished lower than fifth in the 13 FIVB Grand Slam events they participated in, winning nine, finishing second in two, and rounding out the stretch with a third- and a fifth-place finish.
Worth Noting: Dalhausser is one of the few players to complete the trifecta, the triple crown of volleyball: In 2009 he led the AVP tour with aces per game (1.06), blocks per game (2.11) and hitting percentage (.498).
A Match Made in Heaven: By the time Dalhausser hit the pro tour, Rogers was coming up on a decade at the top. In 2005, he noticed "the Thin Beast" and thought he could be the best in the world. Rogers took Dalhausser under his wing as his partner and coach and their dominance since has been undisputed.
Todd Rogers on his Success: "[We've] been pretty consistent…We've been in the top five, won twice this year; we've always been in the mix and we've rarely done poorly."
Olympic Scouting Report: Rogers and Dalhausser have lived with a target on their backs since they took the volleyball world by storm in 2006, but their stretch of dominance is coming to a close. They are still ranked number one in the world, with most pundits predicting more Olympic gold, but it won't be a cakewalk in 2012; two teams from Brazil have given them a run for their money in recent years, and the German team has already handed them a handful of defeats on the FIVB tour. Bet Rogers and Dalhausser to place and show confidently, just don't bank on a win.

Governor officially legalizes marijuana in Colorado
Approval is last step in Amemdment 64 process
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Marijuana for recreational use is now effectively legal in Colorado.
Gov. John Hickenlooper declared a voter-approved marijuana legalization amendment part of the state constitution on Monday. It was the last procedural step needed for Amendment 64, passed by voters last month, to take effect.
The drug became legal in Washington state last week.
Hickenlooper said that voters were "loud and clear" when they voted to make pot legal without a doctor's recommendation. Adults 21 and older may now possess up to an ounce of marijuana, or six plants.
It remains illegal under state law to buy or sell marijuana in any quantity and to consume marijuana in public or in a way that endangers others.
Still, there are many unresolved issues. The Colorado Springs City Council discussed the law with its city attorney on Monday.
"Our police officers need to be trained on how to enforce, or not enforce, possession of marijuana," Councilman Bernie Herpin said. "The city may have to decide whether to change ordinances, ban retail marijuana sales, or decide how the drug will be sold. We still don't know how the feds will look at it. Will people have to prove they acquired their marijuana legally?"
It's unclear how the current medical marijuana system may be involved with recreational marijuana. However, Herpin said medical dispensaries must choose whether to be involved with one or the other, and not both.
Herpin said a separate distribution system for recreational marijuana won't happen at least until next fall when the state begins offering retail licenses to sell the drug. Cities may begin determining their own sales rules next summer, Herpin said, if the state hasn't done so by then.
Sgt. Joe Roybal of the El Paso County Sheriff's Office said there's some concern among law enforcement that more people will use marijuana, leading to more citations, and criminals could step in to be illegal suppliers until a new distribution system arises. But he said he's not overly concerned.
"We didn't have that many increases (in citations) with medical marijuana," said Roybal. "People seemed to be responsible with it. We're hoping they'll do the same with recreational marijuana."
Herpin said cities have three options to repeal the law -- by approving an ordinance, through a petition drive, and by a public vote. However, Herpin said none of those can be proposed until 2014 in accordance with state law.
To help inform the upcoming legislative process, Hickenlooper also signed an executive order to create a task force on the implementation of Amendment 64.
The task force will consider and resolve a number of policy, legal and procedural issues, involving various interests and stakeholders, to implement the new constitutional amendment. Dan Zook, El Paso County's chief deputy district attorney, is a member of the task force.
Colorado and Washington officials both have asked the U.S. Department of Justice for guidance on the laws, which conflict with federal drug law. Neither state will allow commercial sales for a year or more.

Airsoft G-1000 Power Green Gas (QTY: 12 cans)
19 Customer Reviews
by Justin M. on 03/09/2016
"Great gas for the price.I did not buy it from evike but it's still the same product.There is a lot of gas for the size of the can, and one can would last about 50 pistol mags (in my kwa atp).It is inexpensive and effective.I would say this is the best buy if you don't want to use propane.10/10 will buy again.
by Preston E. on 01/15/2016
"I bought it.. Quality gas.. Worst part is explaining to friends why you have a closet of green gas... 10/10 Would buy again.
by Matt R. on 10/19/2010
"Great Gas. I use them half of the time and propane adapters half the time to keep my guns lubricated.

by sam p. on 08/30/2008
"I've forgotten the last time i had to get a new can of green gas 'cuz this thing has more than enough gas!However, it's best if you put the green gas in a grenade-shaped gas holder so you don't have to lug around the entire thing around
by Ethan P. on 07/28/2008
"This gahas woorked great in my pistol. It comes in a portable container that also is gret because you don't waste any gas in a game if youdrop it on its top. The lid stays securly over the tip. Very ice product!
by Mathew D. on 06/06/2008
"Best Green Gas you can buy. Smells good and lubes your gun. Propane smells bad and doesn't lube it while in use. Also the adapter in the cap make it a lot easier to fill the mag.
by Trevor p. on 05/23/2008
"This is by far the best gas for any gas gun. It lasts long time and is in a very portable canister. It is better than propane because it doesn't have that nasty smell and is better for your gun because it lubes it.
by Matthew W. on 05/19/2008
"The new can is thick and sturdy. I feel safe knowing it won't blow a whole in my car on a hot day. The new minty smell is great too! Otherwise, this stuff is identical to the same old green gas we're all used to.
by Gene D. on 01/27/2011
"Used this gas before great gas, gives your gun awesome power and smells 10000x better than propane but evike needs to sell smaller amounts of it so i don't have to pay 100 dollars for more gas than i want/need which is why i give it a 4 not a 5
by Jonathan R. on 11/14/2008

"This gas is good. better than propane because 1. it smells better 2. is safer 3. easier to carry around. when my 5 cans run out im goin to buy more of this stuff. it works great.

"This is good gas for the price, but I find the valve finicky. On one can I lost the o-ring that goes on the inside of the valve due to it having a really loose fit. I have had some problems with other cans leaking while filling a mag as well. Overall, this is pretty good gas. If one is careful with it while loading, there typically aren't any problems.

You're welcome.
You pay for a technology, and you expect to get your money's worth, without any negative impacts.
We all know the dust issue needs to be fixed.
However, after reading the Goulson review, I can't believe that there is a soil type where clothianidin has a 1/2 life of over 15 years!
No farmer alive signed on for that kind of a surprise.
like thats a bad thing?? hmm seed coating needed only every 10 years or so?? wish roundup worked that long!!!!!!!!
(just kidding)

Well, soil type, and conditioners used, might explain alot of the discrepancies we're hearing about with regards to colony losses.
If you have the right soil type, the product has a low 1/2 life. The bees are fine.
If you have fuquay sandy loam, you're going to get residue build up. That could be a big part of the whole 30% winter loss issue.
Uploaded with ImageShack.com
WOW thts intersting... The soils with the worst traits are located around where over 1/2 the package bees come from.........worst 1/2 life... best bee production.... from that I could conclude there a good thing!
GA package producers have pretty much 0 wither losses!
Good job on the CRP native grasses. But. I was largely referring to the cost of treating trees, etc., w/ insecticides.
I think that the only way to answer the soil type vs colony losses question would be for someone to take available data and create a GIS map with overlays for colony losses and soil type.
Ian Steppler >> Canadian Beekeeper's Blog
Could be wrong, but it does look that way.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
also from that article, wrt dosing:Winter came, and they saw nothing. The hives seemed fine. "We were starting to get discouraged," Warchol says. "Dick and I were talking, saying, 'Wow, there's really nothing going on.' " Lu had the same reaction. "At that time," he says, "I thought my hypothesis was wrong."
which also makes zero sense. if they anted to make sure they didnt kill the bees outright, when they upped the dosage, they would not have made the "new lowest dose" twice what the "old higher dose" was.....not to mention that bees don't encounter imidacloprid in HFCS in the "real world".On July 1, 2010, they started the pesticide regimen, beginning with very low doses, to make sure they didn't kill the bees right away. They upped the amounts after four weeks to levels that Lu says were on the conservative end of what bees encounter in the real world — through syrup made from corn treated with neonicotinoids or nectar and pollen collected from contaminated flowers and crops.
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
I've been told that Lu doesn't care about bees at all and know nothing about them. the end game for him is to show that neonics affect the human brain in a similar manner.
Cam Bishop
Well that should be easy to prove, using the same methods. Make the test people drink neonicitiniods at a level just low enough to not kill them outright. Later, double the dose. You will have proof that neonicitiniods are damaging to human brains, and maybe even fatal to the human.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
I probably consume more neonics than those bees did.
First of all, I would have chosen clothianidin.
Secondly, I wouldn't have used the CCD term in my hypothesis. Just plain 'impact on Honeybee health'.
Thirdly, if I wanted to test HFCS for contaminants, I would have done so directly, although there is no evidence for neonics in HFCS.
Let's face it, Lu got lucky.
It was a tounge in cheek comment about testing effects on humans........intended as a bit of wit... albiet small...
If neonics are the problem I shouldnt have any bees. 9 different yards, everyone you can throw a stone to hit a corn/bean field.
Before all this vast acreage of fields get planted, solid purple with hensbit, purple deadnettle and chickweed. That's what my beed are building up on. Mid to late July bees are putting up supers of honey from soybeans..
So what is really the problem??? O yes sugar free and treatment free hives....

Nauticus Smart Tabs SX
Sale price: Clearance price: Starting at: Sale starting at: Clearance starting at: Reg. price:
From small boats to large craft, the Smart Tabs™ SX automatic trim and stabilizer system provides unequaled performance with smoother and faster acceleration. The durable, maintenance-free Smart Tabs SX system improves fuel efficiency by up to 11%, while also improving handling by automatically adjusting to water pressure. At slow speeds, the Smart Tabs SX deploy downward to increase stern lift and keep the boat level, allowing the boat to plane easier and faster. At cruising speeds, Smart Tabs SX are pushed to a horizontal position but remain under load, creating ride control like shock absorbers. Molded from rust- and corrosion-free composite materials, the easy-to-install Smart Tabs SX system uses a nitrogen gas actuator to hold the plates down during acceleration and provide lift to the stern. Plate size and pressure are determined by the boat size and horsepower at the time of installation. After installation, Smart Tabs SX can be tuned to your preference.
- Smoother and faster acceleration (great for skiing)
- 40% less bow rise and 35% lower on plane speed (great for tubing)
- More top speed and no porpoising or chine walking
- Improves handling and smoother ride in any water
- Improved fuel economy (11%+)
- Molded composite material is rust-and corrosion-free
- Free demonstration and installation DVD included

Will it slow down a 21.5 reinell?
good luck
Do these decrease top end speed?
How effective are these with "listing" due to uneven weight distribution? How effective in a following sea? thx
A hydrofoil is an additional planing device as are Trim Tabs of any type. It is never a good idea to add two planing devices, especially those which can not or are not adjustable. Because the Hydrofoil is a fixed device it will lift the stern at an increasing rate as the speed increases. This in combination with trim tabs will drive the bow into the water creating handling problems such as listing to the left, laying over hard in turns, and bow steering (wandering).
Trim tabs are more effective since they start in a deployed position (angled down to get more lift sooner) and can be adjusted to the needs of the individual boat.
In short - do not use both.
Hope this helps.

text: I have a Russian Hybrid queen coming from Kelley's on Saturday. I, unfortunately lost a pure Russian hive. When it swarmed, I decided to let them create a new queen. They did, but she disappeared and I guess the remaining bees are just dying of old age. So I ordered the new queen and thought I'd put her in a nuc with some Italian brood frames and nurse bees. When I pull these frames, I guess workers will be on the frames with the nurses/brood. Will the workers drift or stay? Are there any problems associated with this method?

MAKERS Spotlights Stewardess, Coal Miner
Aug 8, 2012
This week MAKERS.com hears from a groundbreaking stewardess who talks about her fight against the discrimination of female flight attendants and from one of the country's first female coal miners, whose case against sexual harassment in the workplace reached the Supreme Court, making major strides in the women's movement.
Barbara "Dusty" Roads is a former stewardess and union leader who led a landmark sex discrimination case in the airline industry. Growing up loving aviation, Roads started flying as a stewardess with American Airlines once she realized women could not be hired as pilots. Although she enjoyed her career, she came to question industry policies that forced stewardesses to remain unmarried and retire at the age of 32. By 1965, Roads was a lobbyist for the National Flight Attendants Union, later the ALSSA, and began to fight back. In 1968, after years of determination and hard work, the Equal Opportunities Employment Commission issued a ruling prohibiting age ceilings or marriage bans in the airline industry.
Barbara Burns was one of the first female coal miners in the country and an 'everywoman' champion against sexual harassment in the workplace. By 1975, she was a mother of two with a husband in poor health. She was eager to earn more money for her family and became one of the first female coal miners in the country. She worked her way up through the ranks to foreman before being recruited by Smoot Coal Company, Inc. as a lab technician. At Smoot, Burns found herself the target of aggressive sexual advances and stalking by her boss, the company president. Unable to take it any longer, Burns eventually sought out attorney Betty Jean Hall and filed a complaint. The case lasted until 2000, when the West Virginia Supreme Court finally ruled in her favor.

st: GLLAMM help please: random coef 3-level model with level 2 * level 3 cross level interaction
Sun, 25 Nov 2012 20:18:27 +0000
Dear Statalist,
I have a question regarding the use of gllamm for multi-level modelling of ordinal variables.
A brief description of my data and aim.
I have individuals nested in schools nested in cities i.e. 3-levels. My dependent variable is 4-options from 1 to 4 on levels of satisfaction i.e. it is ordinal. My key independent variables are: individual (level-1) disadvantage; level of school (level-2) disadvantage; and level of city (level-3) disadvantage.
My main aim is to test whether the effect of school disadvantage on individual's satisfaction is dependent on/moderated by the level of disadvantage in a city in which the school is "nested" i.e. whether there is an interaction effect between school (level-2) disadvantage AND city (level-3) disadvantage, after controlling for individual-level (level 1) disadvantage. So I want to include a level-2 * level-3 interaction in the model.
Crucially, my outcome is ordinal so, as far as I have been able to tell from reading, I have to use gllamm along with the link(ologit) function.
So, I believe I need to use a random-coefficient model where the effect of "school disadvantage" (at level 2) is allowed to have different coefficients at (level 3).
So, here is the syntax I was thinking of using, where school(lvl2)disad*city(lvl3)disad is the level2 * level3 interaction term.
generate cons = 1
eq inter: cons
eq slope: school_disad(lvl2)
gllamm satis(lvl1) individual_disad(lvl1) school_disad(lvl2) city_disad(lvl3) school(lvl2)disad*city(lvl3)disad, i(school_ID city_ID) adapt link(ologit) nip(10) nrf(1 2) eqs(inter inter slope)
Does this look right? In particular:
- I've had trouble working out the nrf() values. I used nrf(1 2) as I am specifying one random-effect at level-2 (i.e. a random-intercept for school_lvl2) AND two random-effects at level-2 (i.e. a random-intercept and -coefficient for city_lvl3)
- Is the eqs() option specified correctly. I used eqs(inter inter slope) because of random-intercept at level-2 and random-intercept and random-coefficient at level-3
All advice would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance,
Jamie Lorenz

Cramped in that funnelled hole, they watched the dawn
Open a jagged rim around; a yawn

Stuck in the bottom of his throat of phlegm.
They were in one of many mouths of Hell
Not seen of seers in visions, only felt
As teeth of traps; when bones and the dead are smelt
Under the mud where long ago they fell
Mixed with the sour sharp odour of the shell.

Boxing has a long Olympic history. The rough-and-tumble combat sport debuted at the Ancient Games nearly 3,000 years ago. Its road to the modern Olympics proved a bit rockier. When the Games were revived in Athens in 1896, the organizing committee deemed boxing too dangerous to include in the program. Boxing was reinstated at the 1904 Summer Games, only to be knocked out again in 1912. The sport finally stepped back into the Olympic ring to stay in 1920. A women's competition will make its debut at the 2012 London Games.
Rules of the Game
Boxers battle each other according to weight class. For men, the divisions range from light flyweight (for fighters weighing up to 108 pounds) to super heavyweight (for fighters heavier than 201 pounds). All challengers must officially weigh in on each day they compete.
Boxers are paired off at random. There is a single-elimination tournament for each of the 10 men's weight classes and three women's weight classes. Men's matches are made up of three rounds, each lasting three minutes. Women's are held over four rounds of two minutes each. Competitors get a one-minute rest period between rounds. There are several ways to win, including knocking out your opponent, but the most common victory is earned by points. Whoever scores the most points at the end of the contest becomes king of the ring.
Unlike other Olympic sports, the two boxers who lose in the semifinals do not fight each other. Instead, they both receive a Bronze medal.

Reviews of this property
Apartment just in the middle of everything. A big terrace on the roof that we used every dag. Do note that the stairs up to the roof are narrow. Everything to our full satisfaction except for 1st floor where higth is for kids only. We were 6 adults and the 4 of us, sleeping upstairs had to move around backs bending forward not to crash our head against the ceiling. That we did not know.
A perfect situated flat in two levels.It is really in the center and in a very quiet area.
There are however some buts.
At the second level, there are only app. between 140 - 170 cm which means it is only usable for children
There are only two doors in the flat (those are to the two bathrooms). That means that all the " rooms " are connected as if it was one big room.
For two adult persons the flat is more than perfect.
Very Nice appartement in the center of Rome (Campo di fiori). However, ceiling on the second floor is quite low, especially for tall Dutch people :)
Very nice area to stay! Close to the busses and Campo di Fiori. We really had a great time in Rome. The apartment is located in a nice alley (somewhat noisy in the morning) and looks very authentic. With 6 persons we however thought it was too small. Especially since the bed downstairs is too small for two persons, and the second level is really low (strongly not recommended for large people).
It was clean but dusty, we sneezed a lot.
The roof terrace can be reached via some stairs outside the apartment (not child friendly).
The cab driver Paolo, friend of Virginia, is the ideal men for bringing and picking you up from the Airport!
Ciao bella Roma!
The headline should be "Apartment near Campo Fiori".
Apartment location is super. The hosts are nice and welcoming. Luxury Apartment is under no circumstances. Lack of headroom in the "upstairs", no adskildninger between "sleeping quarters" and poor furnishing of the apartment.
Overskriften burde være "Lejlighed nær Campo Fiori".
Lejlighedens placering er super. Værterne er søde og imødekommende. Luksuslejlighed er den under ingen omstændigheder. Manglende loftshøjde i "overetagen", ingen adskildninger mellem "soverummene" og dårlig møblering af lejligheden.
Magnificent apartment for 4 people, very central location.
Pragtfuld lejlighed til 4 personer , meget central beliggenhed .
We were 6 people (2x 70+, 45+ and 2 x 15 & 11j) and enjoyed the apartment. In the old town, 2 minutes walk from Campo Fiori, and so all the monuments within walking distance.
And the apartment is fantastic. Completely and tastefully decorated. It is a very old house and very high ceilings. The additional space is created by an intermediate floor. Therefore, the space above (4 sleeping shower and toilet) very low. We had no problem with it (even> 1.95 m not).
For us, an absolute must.
Wij waren met 6 personen (2x 70+; 2x 45+ en 15&11j) en hebben genoten van het appartement. In het oude centrum, 2 minuten lopen van Campo Fiori, en dus alle monumenten op loopafstand.
En het appartement is fantastisch. Compleet en smaakvol ingericht. Het is een heel oud huis en heel hoge kamers. De extra ruimte is gecreëerd door een tussenvloer. Daardoor is de ruimte boven (4 slaapplaatsen + douche en toilet) erg laag. Wij hadden daar geen enkel probleem mee ( ook >1,95 m niet).
Voor ons een absolute aanrader.
What a great apartment with a perfect location. We spent 4 excellent days during the month of January with a temperature of 15 degrees during some sunny days. Everything went smoothly; the host provided us with an easy solution to transport (which by the way was on time each way), upon arrival another nice friend of the host showed us the flat and all its features. Yes, off course it may not be easy if you are at my height (almost 180 cm) and need to use the upper level of the flat (the sealing is about 160 cm), but we managed, and yes, of course you may also have comments about the lack of perfect china the kitchen – but you can expect a perfection location to everything and an easy access to a large variety of restaurants. And the flat is filled with charm
The flat is very near to everything.
Ínside the first floor is only for people with a high lower than 160. Under this you have a big toilet, room for sleeping, kitchen and a livingroom.
At the roof you have a fantastic place to relax and take a drink.
The flat itn´t for people with diabled people.
Kind regards

Updated June 4: Congratulations to director Olivia Riley Day and her crew from Savannah College of Art and Design for winning the Sprite Films Fan Favorite Award for the short film "See Your Dreams." America voted on "See Your Dreams" and five other student films that were finalists in the 2014 Sprite Films competition at sprite.com/films this spring. In return for racking up the most votes by the public, Olivia and the film's co-producer Akmyrat Tuyliyev will receive a trip to the American Film Institute's (AFI) film festival in November and a $5,000 donation to SCAD's film department.
Posted on April 3: Breaking into film requires more than talent. It requires access and visibility. Olivia Riley Day (B.F.A., film and television, senior) from Savannah College of Art and Design found a direct line to both. She's one of six finalists participating in the Sprite Films program for student filmmakers and vying for a chance to win a contract to produce a Sprite branded project.
With her short film "See Your Dreams" up for the world to vote on now through May 15 at sprite.com/films, we delved into what makes director Olivia tick. She and Akmyrat Tuyliyev (B.F.A., film and television, senior), one of the film's producers, just returned from CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Nev., where "See Your Dreams" was screened for industry leaders.Olivia and Akmyrat, with the 2014 Sprite Films finalists, meet producer-director Ivan Reitman whose film "Draft Day" will be released on April 11. Photo credit: Michael Buckner/Getty Images.
Thread: Name one "pinch me" moment from CinemaCon?
O: The most unforgettable moment of CinemaCon, and probably my life, was at the awards ceremony. The announcer called my name and I stood while big-name stars actually clapped for me. It was kind of insane, and I still can't believe it happened.
T: What inspired the concept for "See Your Dreams"?
O: Everyone in life has had to overcome challenges, and some people face challenges that they believe are too great to overcome. This story is about believing in yourself and always staying true to your dreams, and if you don't give up, your dreams will one day become a reality.
Olivia and Akmyrat at work on the McDonough, Ga. set of "See Your Dreams."
T: How did you develop your passion for film?
O: I always loved the escape that going to the movies gave me, however I did not realize my passion for film until I went to three and a half years of business school and knew that I needed to express my creative side to be happy. I am a natural born leader/director so it was only fitting to control the creative side of the one thing in life that I love more than anything, the movies.
T: What are some trends, techniques or technologies that you're watching?
O: I don't worry about the latest trends or technology past what is going to get my story across the best. If a new technology comes out that strikes my interest and benefits my story I will utilize it, but as of right now I stick to digital. One day I would love to work with the robots Bot & Dolly, they are a very expensive and unique technology that only extremely successful filmmakers get the opportunity to work with.
T: What's your advice to aspiring student filmmakers?
O: I recommend looking out for opportunities like Sprite Films. The program has allowed me to compete at a higher level, thus gain recognition at a higher level, and has helped me get one step closer to seeing my dreams become a reality. If you are in film school, I recommend that you attend all the film festivals you can because that's where you can meet industry professionals and establish connections that could lead to greater opportunities once out of college.
T: How has the Savannah Film Festival molded you as a filmmaker?
O: The Savannah Film Festival has allowed me to establish connections with industry professionals I otherwise would not have been able to meet and given me wonderful insight from famous directors that I will carry with me forever.
T: Anything else that you want Thread to know?
O: Never stop 'seeing your dreams,' and if you don't know what they are, do not stop searching until you find them.

Zynga Revenue is up, but Overall loss is $85 Million
Facebook game developer Zynga has posted its Q1 earnings report, stating that earnings are up to an impressive $321 million, though overall the company suffered a loss just shy of 85.35 million.
Other information released by the report revealed that the number of daily active users was up to 65 million. This represents a 3 million jump over this quarter last year. Monthly active users almost reached a third of a billion, sitting pretty at 292 million people.
When quizzed about the firm's financial loss – despite revenue increase – CEO of Zynga Mark Pincus said that it was due to a larger investment expenditure.
"We're pleased with the progress that Zynga has made in the first quarter growing our audience reach 25% year over year and nearly 20% quarter over quarter. Our team did a great job launching 5 new games across mobile and web including new hits like Hidden Chronicles, Slingo and Scramble with Friends," he said.
While Zynga has continued steady growth, some of its newer titles, sequels to popular originals, like Mafia Wars 2, haven't been anywhere near as well received as their earlier counterparts. It's thought that the company plans to expand into mobile phones outside of Facebook.
Considering the popularity of titles like Farmville, it makes sense that the company would want to expand its potential audience.

For the first time in more than 10 years, Kiwi chef Peter Gordon has swapped his grill for a barbecue and is spending his summer in Australia and New Zealand.
Last year, he spent his January holiday in England, at his home in London, in the Cotswolds and in Turkey.
But this year, he has swapped the rain, clouds and cold for the sun and clear blue skies.
Gordon said he chose Australasia for "warmth, sun and my partner, but not necessarily in that order".
His holiday started when he and partner Alastair flew from London to spend a few days in Auckland.
From there, they headed to Australia. Gordon said their Aussie experience started in Eumundi, a small town in Queensland, before continuing to Melbourne.
The two spent their time there sampling Melbourne's cuisine - the Greek cafes, espresso coffee and fresh seafood - all "research", said Gordon.
They finished up with a trip to Gippsland to see Gordon's mother.
"All you need for a great summer is warm, balmy weather, swimming, plenty of seafood and a barbecue."
Gordon said he and Al were also visiting New Zealand for work and a quick stop with to his father in Wanganui. "I'll be back in wintry London towards the end of January, unfortunately."
He said it had been a while since he had had a truly great summer.
His favourite was a family holiday in the late 1970s at Stony Bay and Fletcher Bay at the top of the Coromandel Peninsula.

Very Nice apartment very well Appointed.
Very comfortable for Anne and I and our adult daughter
Easy access to downtown,enjoyed our stay
Thanks Jacqui and David
We enjoyed our vacation in New York in your awesome apartment very much!
It was a really nice feeling to relax after a full day of sightseeing. We immediately felt great! Everything was clean and fresh and the kitchen was cool! Its very easy to reach manhatten by subway, the next subwaystation is just around the corner. Thank you for the warm welcome and the informations about the local area and events.
We spent 5 days-4 nights in this apartment. We enjoyed it from the start. The kitchen is spacious with a very nice square table to drink coffee on, spread maps and plan the day. The bedroom is OK for two, more people will easily fit in the large living room. The apartment also has a nice backyard with plenty of space. The apartment is well equipped with a toaster, coffee machine, dish washer, laundry automat and dryer. The bathroom and shower are basic and clean.
The neighborhood is friendly and safe. There are lots of grocery stores, deli's, restaurants, bakeries, etc within walking distance, e.g. on Fulton St and Nostrand Ave. The Subway is a few minutes walking from the apartment, with direct access to JFK and Manhattan. We happily walked and biked around after sunset, without any feeling of unsafety.
We did not have the opportunity to meet the owners, because they were away at the time, but communication via email was immediate, to the point and very friendly.
We rented bikes from RollingOrangeBikes.com on Baltic St in Brooklyn and we used them to traverse Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan. We got a bike map of NY and found that there are lots of bike lanes in the city. We found biking a lot of fun, as well as a pretty efficient way of getting around. New York car drivers are friendly to bikes, compared to most European countries. We did not feel unsafe at any time.
This apartment was fantastic. The kitchen was well equipped with a table seating 8 which served as our living room. We turned the lounge into a comfortable sleeping space for the children and even got to enjoy the back garden despite being here in early November. The hosts son was on hand to deal with any issues.
The Nostrand Avenue subway takes you straight to Manhattan on the A line and is nearby. At first sight the area near the subway looks rough but if you look more closely there are gems such as Breukelen wines Ma's chip shop and other quirky small businesses. We loved the experience and our 4 children enjoyed every minute of our stay.
Owen Edwards
Our stay in Brooklyn was short but enough to appreciate the beauty of the city in a climate fortunately perfect and especially in a cozy and delicious that made us enjoy our rest. Thanks to David for the invaluable advice about local restaurants (Excellent breakfast from Ms.Dahlia 's café). The apartment is equipped with every comfort and lacks nothing including the joviality and kindness of the hosts.
Il nostro soggiorno a Brooklyn è stato breve ma sufficiente per apprezzare la bellezza della città in un clima fortunatamente perfetto e soprattutto in una casa accogliente e deliziosa che ha reso piacevole il nostro riposo. Grazie a David per i consigli preziosi sui ristoranti della zona (Ottime le colazioni da Ms.Dahlia's café). L'appartamento è fornito di ogni confort e non manca di nulla compresa la giovialità e cortesia dei padroni di casa.
Jacqui and David
are very welcoming and friendly the breakfast,the apartment is very spacious and comfortable, bedding ect very clean and everything else.it is very well located 5 minutes from the metro, traders are not far away and locals are very friendly brooklynn.nothing to say we are very happy if we were back there that's where we would go back.
merci pour tout
Thank you sooooo much Jacqui and David super hosts, that we were allowded to stay in your beautiful apartment, we had such a great time.We visited NY with the whole familiy, our kids(16,13,10,1) loved the city and after the exiting impressions,they enjoyed the comfortable, quiet apartment with great outfit (washing machine and dryer, super kitchen very good for families with smaller kids). Nice neighborhood, with many shops great cafe (Ms Dahlias) and perfekt supermarket.When you visit NY, then stay at Jacqui and David you woun´t regret it!!!!! You´re just in 15 min. in downtown Manhattan by Metro (Station just around the corner) Thank you again we´ll come back!!!!! Love Sabine from Germany
The first experiences were more negative: Until hours before departure no way to reach the owner by phone or email. Only on appeal at Wimdu it turns out that in my files the first digit (1) on telephone number was missing, and that the specified e-mail address was that of the son, who apparently also rented. After our arrival, however, great satisfaction was spreading: Pretty location of the old building row house, original and altogether comfortable facilities of the large rooms on this floor apartment, a "kitchen", which certainly invites self-catering, lovely and generous landlord couple, relatively light accessibility of Manhattan (weeks card about $ 30). Overall, definitely recommended, which is to be expected that the shower undergoing modernization in the bathroom in the foreseeable future.
Die ersten Erfahrungen waren eher negativ: Bis Stunden vor der Abreise keine Möglichkeit, den Vermieter per Telephon oder E-Mail zu erreichen. Erst auf Beschwerde bei Wimdu stellt es sich heraus, dass in meinen Unterlagen die erste Ziffer (1) der Tel.Nr. fehlte, und dass die angegebene Mail-Adresse diejenige des Sohnes war, der offenbar ebenfalls vermietet.
Nach unserer Ankunft machte sich jedoch große Zufriedenheit breit: Hübsche Lage des Altbau-Reihenhauses, originelle und insgesamt komfortable Ausstattung der großen Räume dieser Erdgeschoss-Wohnung, eine "Wohnküche", die durchaus zur Selbstverpflegung einlädt, reizendes und großzügiges Vermieter-Ehepaar, verhältnismäßig leichte Erreichbarkeit von Manhatten (Wochen-Karte ca. 30 $).
Insgesamt eindeutig empfehlenswert, wobei damit zu rechnen ist, dass die Dusche im Badezimmer in absehbarer Zeit eine Modernisierung erfährt.
Total immersion in the life of New York. The apartment is David Jacqui is quite like we thought, everything is designed for passenger comfort. The apartment is located in a quiet location which allows to recover from a long day of visit. Time does not allow us to enjoy the garden but we enjoyed seeing the squirrels run over the fence. The situation of the apartment you can reach the center of Manhattan 1/2h. Advice Jacqui and David are wise, they are very friendly and helpful.
Immersion totale dans la vie new-yorkaise.
L'appartement de Jacqui est David est tout à fait comme nous l'avions pensé; tout est prévu pour le confort du voyageur. L'appartement est situé dans un endroit calme ce qui permet de se remettre de longues journées de visite. Le temps ne nous a pas permis de profiter du jardin mais nous avons apprécié de voir les écureuils courir sur la clôture.
La situation de l'appartement permet de rejoindre le centre de Manhattan en 1/2h.
Les conseils de Jacqui et David sont judicieux, ils sont très chaleureux et disponibles.
The photos do not lie: this apartment in the heart of Brooklyn is a dream. Everything is designed to make your stay goes well: the kitchen is so inviting that you will soon want to take at least breakfast and for that, many nearby shops are open until late in the evening for you to do shopping in the back of your visits ... Ah, also for sightseeing, the subway is 3 blocks and drops you in the center of Manhattan in no time. Jacqui and David "stuck" on the fridge many good places in the area and they are always ready to comment on them if necessary. The garden must be very pleasant in summer (we were there in December!) And barbecue awaits you for a lazy day. Your hosts are also available (they live two floors above) as discrete and decorating places like their leaves: as cheerful and friendly as they are ... We highly recommend this place for your vacation: you will not disappoint ! - We were 5 adults
Les photos ne mentent pas : cet appartement au cœur de Brooklyn est un rêve. Tout est prévu pour que votre séjour se passe au mieux : la cuisine est tellement accueillante que vous aurez bien vite envie d'y prendre au moins le petit déjeuner et pour cela, nombre de commerces à proximité, ouverts jusqu'à tard dans la soirée pour que vous fassiez les courses au retour de vos visites… Ah, d'ailleurs pour les visites, le métro est à 3 blocs et vous dépose au centre de Manhattan en un rien de temps. Jacqui et David ont « collé » sur le frigidaire un bon nombre de bonnes adresses dans le coin et ils sont toujours prêts à vous les commenter si besoin. Le petit jardin doit être fort agréable en été (nous y étions en décembre !!!) et le barbecue vous tend les bras pour une journée de farniente. Vos hôtes sont aussi disponibles (ils habitent 2 étages au dessus) que discrets et la décoration des lieux laisse leur ressemble : aussi gaie et chaleureuse qu'ils le sont… Nous vous recommandons vivement ce lieu pour vos vacances : vous ne serez vraiment pas déçus !!! - Nous étions 5 adultes

BERGEN-BELSEN 1945: A Medical Student's Journal. Michael John Hargrave. xxii + 92 pp. Imperial College Press, 2013. $42.00 cloth; $17.00 paper.
Imagine your government has called on you to aid civilian war victims. Most of your friends have been off fighting in this war for years while you necessarily remained home. But now is your chance—you jump at the opportunity to help.
Reaching your destination, you learn the stakes of this endeavor. Every day 500 people die in your new workplace. You lack basic medical equipment and sanitary facilities. Typhus and typhoid fever are running rampant through your patient population; the only drugs available to treat them are opium and aspirin. Even those are in scant supply. Your assistants are Hungarian soldiers with whom you share no common language. Your patients have no blankets, hospital gowns, or pillows. In fact, they have no beds. Most are unimaginably malnourished, but they cannot hold down the food you give them. Those healthy enough to react to your presence either recoil from you or plead in a tongue you don't understand. You haven't finished your training as a doctor, and this is your first assignment. You are twenty-one years old.
In the above scenario you are Michael John Hargrave, a senior med student at London's Westminster Hospital Medical School near the end of World War II. Bergen-Belsen 1945 is the diary Hargrave kept while volunteering as one of 96 medics sent to assist with the liberation of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp near Celle, Germany.
Bergen-Belsen was unusual in the Nazi camp system. It served various functions until it was designated a concentration camp late in the war. Even then it also functioned for a time as a holding camp: Many internees were prominent Jews who might be exchanged for German prisoners or traded for ransom. Although it was not an extermination camp, Bergen-Belsen became notorious for horrendous conditions that resulted in staggering loss of life, and it remains infamous as Anne and Margot Frank's place of death.
Through a special truce that took effect on April 15, 1945, Bergen-Belsen and the surrounding area were handed off to the British as fighting continued nearby. Hargrave and his fellow medical students arrived on May 2. For the next month, the London medics provided critical early care for the internees. Each medic was assigned a prison unit—or hut, as they were called—housing anywhere from 200 to 1,000 patients. In many of the huts, including Hargrave's, the patients lay on the floor, the living and the dead side by side, the two at times nearly indistinguishable.
Despite the dire circumstances and dearth of supplies, Bergen-Belsen 1945 shows Hargrave and his colleagues moving forward with surprising confidence and pragmatism. They separate the living from the dead, they identify the most urgent cases, they locate patients who are comparatively healthy and can speak some English. Then they get down to the bulk of the work. Hargrave proves a deft problem solver who, amid the chores of scouring his hut and judiciously dispensing the paltry pharmaceutical supply, assembles a group of internees and gives them basic nursing training. One is eager to learn English, and he teaches her enough to perform basic translation. This ad hoc nursing team proves invaluable, especially when Hargrave must convert his hut overnight into a functional hospital for 70 gravely ill patients.
Diligent and focused as he may be, Hargrave's youthful spirits are evident too in this fascinating journal—one he kept, incidentally, to share with his mother. He delights in "liberating" items like wine glasses and decorative tiles from former German officers' quarters. Meeting girls at a dance hosted for the medics presents a welcome diversion; however, as women are plainly scarce, he looks forward all the more to the rum and gin. Later, while awaiting transport home, he rows around on a raft constructed from beer barrels and competes with his friends in a version of darts that involves throwing bayonets at trees.
At the same time, Hargrave is frank in depicting the grim relief work at Bergen-Belsen, where nothing is straightforward. Lacking supplies of British antibacterial sulfonamides and penicillin (then a new wonder drug), medical teams at Belsen had to discern how to properly administer unfamiliar German sulfa drugs. Treating malnutrition presented an even bigger problem. Ben Shephard, whose lucid, indispensable After Daybreak: The Liberation of Bergen-Belsen, 1945 illuminates the difficulties that plagued the camp's liberation, notes, "In the 1940s there was no established clinical approach to dealing with very thin and starving people."
Despite the medics' inexperience, evidence suggests their fresh perspective presented some advantages, causing them to reject certain treatments that clearly weren't working—and with an alacrity absent among their more experienced superiors. When an experimental gruel developed for famine victims proves sickening to patients, the medical students demand swift alterations to the recipe. They are equally vigilant when plasma transfusions became available for patients with malnutritional swelling. Hargrave intervenes on the first day of treatment: "The transfusion people were going to give them each a third bottle but [I] persuaded them not to… I was frightened that 3 pints would overload the heart." Those administering the transfusions were accustomed to treating well-nourished patients on the battlefield—not internees with hearts reduced to nearly half their normal size because of starvation.
Hargrave's wry wit crackles here and there throughout his harrowing narrative, and he proves both an alert chronicler and a talented writer. The flight home, he notes, carries him over a war-scarred landscape until there is "nothing else to see…except the Autobahns pointing like long white fingers to the heart of Germany." The genuineness of Hargrave's voice, along with the publisher's decision to produce the diary in facsimile form, allows readers a profound sense of immersion in the material. Handwritten corrections pepper the typescript, and the young medic's meticulously labeled sketches capture everything from the layouts of the huts to the nature of his patients' lesions. The format fosters such an intimacy that it's easy for readers to imagine they're leafing through Hargrave's diary pages hot off the typewriter.
Bergen-Belsen 1945 is a remarkable, unforgettable book. Hargrave's narrative of his efforts to keep his patients alive is as troubling as it is riveting. Powerful too are his moments of discovery, which at times enable readers to encounter the shock of the Nazis' "Final Solution" anew. Even a country drive is revealing. After an excursion on the eve of his return home, Hargrave notes that "all the German women and children were fair haired and…a dark head was the exception." Of Bergen-Belsen he adds, "I do not remember seeing a blonde the whole time I was there."

Pequot Lakes Eagles 4-H skit a judges' favorite at State Fair
The Pequot Lakes Eagles 4-H club was awarded one of two "judges' favorite" recognitions at the Minnesota State Fair for the Share the Fun skit "4-GRT News."
This club was established in 2005, and since then has presented a Share the Fun skit at the Minnesota State Fair seven times, being selected judges' favorite six times.
The majority of club members are in the Performing Arts project, but they also have interests in other projects such as Robotics, Food and Nutrition, Child and Family Development, Crafts and Fine Arts, Clothing and Textiles, Geology, Shooting Sports and Wildlife, Photography and Youth Leadership.
The Eagles 4-H club is involved with the community by volunteering at the Senior Class assisted living facility in Pequot Lakes, running games for the AmericInn Haunted Hallway, volunteering to run games during the Chokecherry Festival, donating to the local food shelf, Tiny Sprouts day care and the Pequot Lakes Library.
Donating Christmas baskets to Whispering Pines Long Term Care Facility in Pine River for their silent auction has been a yearly event the kids look forward to doing.
