Wonderful appartment in Buda. Big, clean and with everything you need. Beds were good and comfortable. Host was very helpful. Perfect location. One street from the Danube (front of Parliament) and the tram. Beautiful view from the sleeping room (Castle). Hungarian restaurant on the corner is very good and not expensive. Few streets away from a big supermarket. Wifi worked perfect. Thanks Péter and Gergo, it is definitely a place to go back and is highly recommended.
very nice apartment and great kitchen

Clean and spacious apartment very close to the Castle, Chain Bridge and Parliament. great location, within walking distance of much achievable. Nice touch with helpful tips. I can only recommend.
Saubere und geräumige Wohnung sehr nahe zur Burg, Kettenbrücke und Parlament. super gelegen, vieles in Gehweite erreichbar. Netter Kontakt mit vielen hilfreichen Tipps. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.
The house is very pretty! It is close to a lovely cafe and is well connected by public transport with the underground is 5 minutes. Nearby there SPAR and a small convenience store is open every day throughout the day. Even if Peter could not be put us in touch with a friend who gave us all the information to enjoy our trip! My traveling companions are amazed by the excellent location of the house and its efficiency! Thanks Peter!
La casa è molto carina! Si trova vicino a un delizioso Cafè ed è ben collegata con il trasporto pubblico grazie alla metropolitana che si trova a 5 minuti. Nelle vicinanze c'è SPAR e un piccolo minimarket aperto tutti i giorni per tutto il giorno. Anche se Peter non è potuto esserci ci ha messo in contatto con un amico che ci ha dato tutte le indicazioni per goderci il nostro viaggio! I miei compagni di viaggio sono sbalorditi dall'ottima posizione della casa e della sua efficienza! Grazie Peter!!!
apartment clean and spacious, ideal for 4 5 people, but also are comfortable. The apartment is located in a strategic position, ahead of the church of St. Matthias and the Fishermen's Bastion, near the royal palace, in front of the Danube, from which you can admire the parliament, but especially at 2 steps from the bridge of the chains, the metro and the spar supermarket. What can I say, you can not ask for anything better to visit the city. The host, very kind and willing to give all the information you need.
appartamento pulito e spazioso, ideale per 4 persone ma anche 5 stanno comode. L'appartamento si trova in una posizione veramente strategica, d'avanti la chiesa di san Mattia e il bastione dei pescatori, vicino il palazzo reale, di fronte al Danubio, da cui si può ammirare il parlamento, ma soprattutto a 2 passi dal ponte delle catene, la metro e il supermercato spar. Che dire, non si può chiedere di meglio per visitare la città. Il padrone di casa, gentilissimo e disponibile a dare tutte le informazioni che servono.
Everything was perfect. Peter - nice and helpful, provided us with a lot of useful information about the city. The apartment looked even better than in the description, clean and very suitably situated. We even had a free parking space just in front of the entrance to the apartment block, which is not common in Budapest. Good price for good quality. Really enjoyable experience!
Large apartment with everything you need and good location. Peter made us feel welcome and was very friendly (even provided us with information and data on the city). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Departamento amplio con todo lo necesario y buena ubicación. Peter nos hizo sentir bienvenidos y fue muy amable (inclusive nos proporciono informacion e indicaciones sobre la ciudad). MUY RECOMENDABLE.
The accommodation is very well placed for a stay in Budapest, at the foot of the castle hill. We find all the services and supplies nearby, even on Sundays.
Le logement est très bien placé pour un séjour à Budapest, au pied de la colline du château. On trouve tous les services et le ravitaillement à proximité, même le dimanche.
Very good stay in the lovely peter's apartment. Very easy communication, our guest sent us a lots of useful informations before coming.
And the flat is just perfectly situates to enjoy Budapest. We recommend it ! And don't forget the price which is really low !

The act of lubing and slipping a 9-volt battery (perferably of the Energizer brand because they keep going and going) into one's own anus or the anus of an unsuspecting other while performing fellatio.
Ian was busting a move on The Palace dance floor all night. Once he got a few drinks in him he even pulled out his patented move- the electric slide, but I don't mean the dance move.
I was going down on Ian. He wasn't feeling it, so I gave him the ol' electric slide. He promptly blew his load all over my face.

When a dog (or any animal or even an unruly spouse) has an itchy anus and proceeds to drag it on the ground to soothe the burning anal itch. Typically a dog will sit down, pull the hind legs up in the air and use the frong legs to propel across the floor.
Damn, Frank had the minister and his wife over at their house, and while they were having tea in the living room, Zippy sat right in front of them and did the electric slide. How embarassing!

Method of sex wherein two are loving in a bathtub while employing a glow-in-the-dark rubber. Depending on where you call home - i.e. marshy locale - you may want to poop in the tub after eating something especially disagreeable to your intestines. For best results, stir the enchanting buttpourri into the your bath evenly. Before insertion, the man will want to gyrate his hips and buttocks so as to mimic the fluid serpentine motion of an electric eel in a freshwater rivulet. This will startle the woman who will then step on the frightened "eel" mercilessly. Ironically, this makes it easier for the man to slide his flattened illuminated penis into his significant other's pruned vagina without friction.

Jack Pierson lives in a glamorous world. There are no gossip columns or paparazzi photos to prove this, but somehow viewers of his art are led to believe so. His diverse body of works—drawings, photographs, found-object sculptures, and installations—is autobiographical only in oblique ways, gently beckoning viewers to construct their own fantasies around them. Call it the glamour of the ordinary and prosaic, of anonymous scruffy young men, random landscapes infused with heart-achingly lurid colors, and textual scraps of unfinished sentences full of melancholy echoes. Though not entirely correct, there is a certain logic in the frequently drawn comparison between Pierson's art and the hustler's wanderlust in the writings of Jack Kerouac.
Silver Jackie with Pink Spot (1991), one of Pierson's early installation works, occupies a corner in the gallery. A simple combination of a black plywood platform and strips of silver Mylar, it conjures up a makeshift performance stage, no bigger than four-by-four and barely large enough to bust a move on. Christmas lights hiding behind the curtains emit little pings of reflection on the silver, and a pink spotlight adds a sense of titillation. Two cigarette butts have been casually left on the stage, jogging viewers' curiosity about the absent body: has she or he left for the night, or walked through the curtains never to look back? Although Pierson claims a post-Minimalist relevance for the work, calling it "a descendant of [Robert] Smithson or [Richard] Serra," it is difficult not to think of it as a Warholian creature. For the name "Jackie," in most people's minds, is automatically associated with that most recognizable cultural icon, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, whose sophisticated, revered public persona Andy Warhol immortalized in numerous silkscreen paintings. But "jackie" is another culturally specific reference: an older, derogatory street term for a gay man. Pierson remembered a scene in John Schlesinger's 1969 film Midnight Cowboy in which Ratso (Dustin Hoffman) says to Joe Buck (Jon Voight), "In that cowboy getup you look like every jackie out on 42nd Street."1 When Pierson created the piece, his studio happened to be located on 42nd Street in Manhattan.
Photography, a medium he has employed regularly, creates equally rich associations, but in these works, the stories turn out to be even less revealing. Rather, they are fleeting moments of light, shadow, and hues that burn melancholy impressions on the negatives. Frankie & Johnny (1996), an enlarged photograph printed on canvas in acrylic lacquer, is a grainy, blurred image of a chain-link fence and ethereal foliage. The title is borrowed from an old folk song revived and reinterpreted over the years by singers such as Johnny Cash, Sam Cooke, and Van Morrison.
It is knowing muteness and insouciant detachment that are the source of Pierson's lyricism and that also make his work "insidious," as it manages to "get under your skin while pretending not to have any agenda." Another work in the Walker Art Center collection, Beauty (1995), is a sculpture made out of old marquee letters he scavenged in junk shops. Mismatched and scuffed, they literally spell the word without embodying any conventional vision of it. Pierson, claiming to be "inundated by the media," perhaps sees his polymorphous body of works as a tangent to, or an integral part of, the large mediated visual world in which we live, breathe, and fantasize.2 What his art seeks to do, then, is to find dimensions of beauty that are utterly of the moment—casual, wispy, and unexpectedly enduring.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Sugar, Oct 7, 2012.
My earlier post was made in hopes that you would restrain yourself.
I was surprised by the cautious, somewhat concerned comments coming from Patrick's camp in interviews right before Nice. Perhaps things were not ideal and that is why he made the change. I can only imagine the tensions that go on behind the scenes at that elite a level and the pressure everyone is under, no one more then Patrick. He has proven himself to be resilient many times before and I believe he knows what he needs. I am so amazed at the sacrifices that these young people make and wish him the best. He has indicated he is doing all he can to grow in the areas he has been criticized. I don't think you can be happy in your skating if you are not happy in your life.
Is Trevor a new screen name for ESTA? . . . Is Trevor the Chinese ESTA? Is ESTA the Russian Trevor?
Well, it shows Patrick does have personality. He will be ok.
The scary horror show plot thickens ... trevor is the writer producer director, and he also stars as Freddy; Chan and his significant other are the victims hunted down relentlessly inside the bowels of a skating rink; Kathy Johnson is the maligned technique-challenged non-credentialed primary coach who tries to save them both.
Or maybe even there's enough material in this thread for jettasian to write two or three whole episodes of CSI - Sochi ... cue up the scary music.
That is an insult to the great ESTA to even insinuate the somehow Trevor the Troll and ESTA would be one and same.
TrTTr takes themselves way too seriously.
^ Ooo ... Was not trying to offend ESTA.
Maybe Trevor is someone's ex bf or gf. lol
^^ Or, God forbid, a skating world competitor up to mischief. Or, maybe even the infamous Freddy Krueger himself.
Nah. This screen would've come up before trevor's first post appeared. (Note, as James Rolfe did in his beloved (by nerds under 35) review of Nightmare on Elm Street for the NES, that the trademark marco appears next to Freddy's name.)
Unwittingly, falling_dance, your "Othello" quote (a kind of pop culture neologasmic adaptation) makes me think of Chan as Othello, and Sam Brown's Hamlet as jettasian or god forbid, trevor, leading the charge against Chan critics, Nice booers, and sundry other innocent bystanders...
Yes, I think Chan will be fine, even without a full-time technical coach. If he thinks he needs to bring one on board before the end of the season, no problema. It's true that coaches provide athletes with invaluable support in many ways, especially during training sessions, but in the long run, it's up to the competitor to persevere alone on the field of battle.
Maybe Frank Carroll could have provided Kwan with a few soothing words or sharp commands before she went out to skate her fp at 2002 Olympics, but in the long run she was still the one who ultimately needed to calm her nerves and steady herself.
Well, at least neither man is John Wilkes Booth in your scenario.
trevor, does this mean Patrick Chan likes tacos for sure?
Well of course. I never said he won, but this seems to be just another early season Chan performance. Nothing to worry about, but I hope that beyond his insane skills (they were clearly obvious five years ago, and I applauded them, so I'm not a hater). I just don't understand why placing last when he clearly was off, whether it was his typical performance, jet lag, emotional issues, whatever is a big deal. He'll clean up enough to fall only a couple of times and win his GPs.
And for people to call me an idiot is uncalled for. I am not. I am most assuredly not. Keep it klassy, kc.
I remember when great skaters didn't fall. Certainly not like Chan does.
Which great skaters do you refer to? And what exactly is your point in making this statement?
I also miss the days when falls did not occur. When were falls introduced into skating again? Was it the '06-'07 season, or '08-'09??
Peter I believe quite correctly you are on the spot. The World champions in 1906/07 did not fall. You are quite the history maven. Kudos.
Yeah, it must of been '07. Certainly, no great champion has ever fallen before then. For example, the 1992 Olympics in the Ladies competition, did anyone even two foot a jump?
I first read this to mean 1906/7/8/9 and found that
Can you remember Plushenko or Yags falling 3 or 4 times in competition in as many events as Chan does? NO. For someone with his skills he should not be falling as much as he does.
No, I certainly can't. And they both had the same very difficult transitions into the jumps as Chan does.
If Chan has difficulty executing his elements because the rest of the program is too difficult, perhaps he should consider fewer/easier transitions as well. It's not as though the only options for a skater are either to have a program with non-stop transitions or to skate something completely empty and void of any meaningful choreography. I'd even argue that sometimes it's better to pay a bit less attention to the TR in order to better express the music.
I definitely agree that so much falling should be untenable. But Chan fans and apologists will cite his above average SS and CoP as the reason he has prevailed with falls. I say pish posh kibosh! Part of it is the SS, part of it is the skating politics, part of it is the wacky judging system, and part of it is once you are anointed by the judges, you are given lots of leeway to prove and re-prove their faith in you.
It may ultimately be different for Chan this season in how the judges will view him if he continues to fall. However, once again, his tendency the last several seasons has been to make mistakes early and clean up his act by Canadian Nationals. Of course last season, he didn't skate cleanly at Worlds and still prevailed. That was poor judgment on the judges part. But of course, these days its pretty much a crap shoot, and the men's field in general is crazy deep. All the skaters can and should do is skate their absolute best and make it as difficult for the judges as they possibly can. The problem for the sport, IMO, has been the ISU not putting their foot down re the over-scoring of Chan early in the season (the last couple of seasons) when he faltered. I think the resulting fallout has been detrimental to the sport as well as unhelpful for Chan in the long run.
You could be right, Zemgirl. However, I would be disappointed if he chose to do fewer/easier transitions because even if you take the jumps away from Chan's programs, there's still a lot of interesting stuff left to see and admire. But I am well aware that perceptions differ as to what makes a figure skating program really great.
aftershocks, somehow I knew you would react to my post. Love Chan or hate Chan, you just can't ignore him.
Personally, I would much rather see skaters attempting more difficult content and falling on occasion, especially early in the season when the programs are new, than watered down programs. These are athletic competitions after all, and it's far more exciting when the skaters are pushing themselves to the limit. Maybe playing it safe could lead to cleaner, albeit more boring programs (though the "cleaner" part is not guaranteed...), but the risk of attempting a complex, more difficult program is well worth it in exchange for those rare skates when the difficulty and execution manage to work together. If you want beautiful, clean skating on a regular basis, limit yourself to ice shows (though even there clean skates aren't guaranteed to occur... )
It wouldn't be unprecedented - he's certainly tinkered with some jump entrances over the years. Like I wrote, I'm not advocating that he skate empty programs, but there's plenty of interesting choreo that a skater can do even without packing a program with transitions. Also, I'd rather see a jump performed well than a difficult transition into a badly performed jump (same goes for other elements, but obviously this is more of an issue with jumps).
Sometimes I feel like transitions are over-emphasized; there are situations where I'd rather see a skater just hold a position or an edge, or do something that might not be difficult but that would fit the music well. The skaters are so busy packing in the content and at times it feels like it's at the expense of the artistic aspects of the performance. Skating is a sport, but it is also an art, and I don't want to see one at the expense of the other.
Wow. You people are OLD!!
I think I read one post here at FSU that Chan might have better artistry than Plushenko. I will search for that one post and if I find it, I will post a link to it.
Transitions can express the music too.
Heh, heh, actually I was responding to Jammers' posts, and hadn't even seen yours yet when I posted, VarBar.
As far as iggin' PC, no way to do that when TPTB enjoy diggin' him so much, not to mention the scary adoration of jettasian, trevor and the entire Chan gang, plus the devotion and admiration of various and sundry more sane Chan fans and innocent bystanders. As well, how can anyone ig PC SS -- just too uber fab in and of themselves, eh?
Chan's a good guy and he can skate (understatement). He's so undeserving of all this "CSI treatment." Maybe he can have a post skating career tho' in the horror movie genre ... after all the "scary" experiences his career in skating will have given him.

Reviews of this property
Absolutely, lovely, quite apartment in a Mediterranean courtey yard * unfortunately the pictures are too dark, so it looks better in real life * Stepanka, the host, is a gently person, who helps you in any way * is close to the city centre, in walking distance to some secrets sights of the town *****
I had a great time in Prague, thanks to Stepanka and the apartment she offers. The welcoming was very nice, and I appreciate Stepanka's helpfulness.
The rooms were fairly large, in a quite byroad, off the overcrowded touristic spots of Prague, although very central to visit all those touristic and non-touristic (still Czech) places. Thanks for hosting me!
The accommodation of Stepanka I can really recommend it. The price-performance ratio was great: Stepanka has a garage in the courtyard where we could park our car safely. Sheets and towels were included. The hosts were very friendly and flexible: check-out at 15.00 was not a problem. You can walk into the city center on foot without any problems, the tram stop is also only about 3 min. away. The apartment was clean and to cook everything was there. I would not hesitate to recommend.
Die Unterkunft von Stepanka kann ich wirklich nur empfehlen. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis war super: Stepanka hat eine Garage im Innenhof, wo wir unser Auto sicher parken konnten. Bettwäsche und Handtücher waren inklusive. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und flexibel: check-out um 15.00 war kein Problem. Man kann zu Fuß ohne Probleme in die Innenstadt laufen, die Trambahnhaltestelle ist auch nur ca 3 min. entfernt. Das Apartment war sauber und zum Kochen war auch alles da. Würde ich jederzeit weiterempfehlen.
The apartment was very nice and comfortable. It is very near by the center and the main train station. We had a very nice stay!
Stepanka is a wonderful humain lady who does her work with a lot of serious. I liked her personality : sensitive, discreet, attentive ... perfect. The studio is very very very ver
y clean ... so perfect and I recommend this address. No noise, confortable ...... Don't hesitate to go to their apartments. My note is "10/10. I keep a very nice "souvenir".
Made a last minute (same day) reservation at the Vlkova apartments and were very satisfied with the experience. We arrived with our 9 mo. old daughter and a crib was in the room upon our arrival. The apartments are located about 30 minutes walk from the Altstadt, near the Riegrovy sady, a large park overlooking the city. Offstreet parking is available (a big plus), and the rooms were plain but comfortable. Good, affordable place to stay, especially if you want to explore Prague by foot.
Really nice appartment, very clean and comfortable for two persons. We enjoyed our stay there!
What's more is, the neighbourhood is nice, it's not too noisy but central (you can walk to the city center without any problems). There is a little supermarket next to the house where you can buy food, sanitary products and so on, a restaurant just across the street and a nice bar a few metres down the road called Sedmvlků where you can enjoy cocktails and beer.
Oh, and Stepanka is really friendly :)
Stepanka ist sehr hilfsbereit und nett. Informationsbroschüren waren bereits vorbereitet auch hatte sie gute und hilfreiche Vorschläge. So besuchte ich einen wunderschönen Markt der ca. 10 min entfernt war. Sehr empfehlenswert.
Die Wohnung ist sauer und die Küche ist mit allem notwendigen Sachen ausgestattet.
Die Wohnung ist ca. 20 min zu Fuß von der Altstadt entfernt. Wer nicht gerne zu Fuß unterwegs ist kann in die Straßenbahn einsteigen die in unmittelbar Nähe ist.
Ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt.
Gerne wieder

Brunswick County, located in the Coastal Plain region of southeastern North Carolina, was formed in 1764 from New Hanover and Bladen Counties. The county was named after King George I, who was also the duke of Brunswick and Lunenburg. Early inhabitants of Brunswick County included the Cape Fear Indians, followed by English and French Huguenot settlers. The county seat is now (since 1975) Southport, but for most of the county's history, Bolivia (incorporated in 1911) served in that role. Situated along the Atlantic Coast, Brunswick County has some of North Carolina's most accessible and popular ocean communities, including Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, Holden Beach, and Bald Head Island. Cape Fear lies at the southern tip of Bald Head Island, and the Cape Fear River runs along the county's eastern border. The Intracoastal Waterway passes through the county as well.
Brunswick County is home to a number of historic sites, including Orton Plantation and Gardens, dating to ca. 1730; Bald Head Island Lighthouse, fondly known as "Old Baldy"; and the Brunswick Inn, built in 1859. Fort Johnston, completed in 1764, served as a refuge for royal governor Josiah Martin in 1775. Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson State Historic Site interprets the colonial and Civil War history of the region. Other cultural institutions include the Southport Maritime Museum, the Brunswick County Historical Society, and the Bald Head Island Conservatory. Well-attended annual events in Brunswick County include the North Carolina Fourth of July Festival, the Christmas-by-the-Sea Festival, the North Carolina Festival-by-the-Sea, and the North Carolina Oyster Festival.
Brunswick County agricultural products include tobacco, vegetables, berries, corn, oats, sweet potatoes, swine, beef cattle, and poultry; and manufactured products include polyester fibers, children's clothes, lumber, and citric acid. In addition to the beaches that draw millions of vacationers, the county's numerous golf courses are a popular attraction for visitors (as well as a growing number of retirees). Charter boat fishing on the Intracoastal Waterway is another important recreational activity in the region. Brunswick County's population was estimated to be 85,000 in 2004.

Today's milestone handover of Airbus' 1,000th A330 Family aircraft underscores the continuing popularity and success of this widebody jetliner based on its demonstrated reliability, efficiency, and versatility, as well as continuous improvements to the product line.
Cathay Pacific Airways accepted the landmark aircraft – with a special "We are flying the 1,000th A330" message on its fuselage – which joins the Hong Kong-based carrier's already substantial fleet of A330 jetliners.
The A330 Family – the most cost-efficient twin-engine widebody aircraft in operation today – has compiled more than 25 million flight hours on 5.5 million flights with carriers worldwide, demonstrating an operational reliability of over 99 per cent while covering diverse routes ranging from 30 minutes to 14 hours.
Since the A330's service entry, Airbus has continued to upgrade the aircraft, investing one euro over the last 10 years in improvements for every euro originally spent developing the jetliner. This modern product line now encompasses five members: A330-200 and A330-300 passenger versions; A330-200F mid-sized freighter; A330 MRTT multi-role military tanker transport; and ACJ330 VIP jetliner.
Enhancements introduced on the A330 over the years are many, from cabin upgrades using full LED lighting and fourth-generation inflight entertainment to improved operating efficiency with reduced fuel consumption.
One of Airbus' latest major improvements is to be ready in 2015, increasing the aircraft's maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) to 242 tonnes. This will extend the A330-300's range to 6,100 nautical miles, while increasing the range of the A330-200 to 7,250 nautical miles. With these upgrades, Airbus will have added about 50 per cent more range since its service entry, while reducing maintenance costs by 20 per cent.
The A330's continued high popularity is reflected in its production cadence: annual rate rises of 10 per cent have brought the output to a record 10 aircraft per month.

Margaret Bencomo
UTSA Profile: Margaret Bencomo, assistant director of UTSA counseling services
By Hector Benavides
Student Writer, UTSA College of Public Policy
(July 1, 2005)--Margaret Bencomo is assistant director of the UTSA Office of Counseling Services.
Counseling Services provides a variety of programs to help students cope with student and social life.
Bencomo came to UTSA in September 2002 after finishing her post doctoral training in substance abuse dual diagnosis treatment at the Houston Veterans Administration Center.
She earned a bachelor's degree in psychology at St. Mary's University, and master's and doctoral degrees in psychology at Indiana State University.
Bencomo started as a staff clinician at UTSA and was promoted nine months later to her current position.
For more information, visit the UTSA Office of Counseling Services Web site or call (210) 458-4140 at the 1604 Campus or (210) 458-2930 at the Downtown Campus.

HB: What are your duties as the assistant director of counseling services?
MB: I manage the clinic and the training and in-services of the staff. I also supervise the faculty and represent the department outside of the school when Dr. Elizabeth Stanczek is not able to do it. Dr. Stanczek is the official director of the department but she is also the executive director of health services, the women's resource center and the recovery center. She sometimes is too busy to fulfill all of her duties in the counseling department and it is my job to take over for her.
HB: What would you say to a student who is unsure about seeking help at counseling services?
MB: The first thing I would tell them is that they are not crazy if they need to have a talk with someone. Counseling is like any other assistance you would get. Also, what they discuss here is confidential and does not become part of their student record and no one can access the information without written consent from the student -- not even their parents.
HB: What are the goals that the department has for the near future?
MB: We are trying to firm up the serious incident prevention team for students that could harm themselves. We also want to find out what types of workshops the students would like to have here at UTSA. Also, we want students to be more familiar with our current programs. The programs that we now have are the anxiety group, the shy guy group and the women's resource center.
HB: Why did you decide to come to UTSA?
MB: It was a mixture of wanting to come back to San Antonio and being a part of a growing university. I also wanted to be able to work with an age group that could provide a challenge but that also has so much potential.
HB: What do you do to keep your mind off your work?
MB: This is very important to me because I believe that it is important to take care of yourself so that you can help others better. I try to keep my sense of humor and I like to spend time with my friends and go dancing and play volleyball. I also try to leave work at work so that it will not overwhelm me. I also like to talk about anything that might bother me, so that it will not stress me out.

I'm making an Aurra Sing costume for 501st approval (yes, Boba is on hold for a while), and I need help figuring out how to make the hands! I'm hoping to be able to make some sort of prostetic glove, because I'm not too fond of having makeup all over my pretty guns.
The hands are like normal hands, except the fingers are very long. Some Aurra's have prostetic fingers only, while some just paint their hands and ignore the length the fingers should have. That is of course an option, but I think her hands are so cool! It is one of the few things that illustrates that she's not completely human.
Anyone have an idea of how to best make these beauties?

Trustee companies will need to delve much deeper into the running and management of KiwiSaver schemes to meet their obligations under new licensing rules, says a major market player.
From October 1, all trustees who oversee money on behalf of retail investors will need a full licence from the Financial Markets Authority. Trustees of KiwiSaver schemes must also be independent.
Bryan Connor, general manager at Guardian Trust, which oversees half the $12 billion invested into KiwiSaver, said the onus was now on trustees to undertake a proactive supervisory role.
"We have to be the gate at the top of the cliff," he said.
Connor said in the past trustees could accept the word of directors who signed quarterly certificates to say they were in compliance with the trust deed.
"Trustees will now have to look under the stones. In the past we could rely on the certificates from managers."
Connor said he believed the new responsibility would result in trustees regularly visiting the offices of fund managers to assess investment processes, the corporate governance of the company and whether the people managing the money were fit and proper.
"There will need to be lots of regular communication and meetings."
Trustees would also need to pay closer attention to complaints as they were often an indication of a problem, he said.
"In the past we haven't gone that deeply into the businesses."
Connor said the changes were designed to solve problems before they became systemic issues, but warned that they did not guarantee the investments were risk-free.
He doubted the changes would prevent situations such as the Huljich Wealth Management debacle, when the company's then chief executive Peter Huljich used his own money to top up investments, making the performance of its scheme appear better than it was.
"I don't think you could totally prevent anything. But we hope we would pick it up a lot quicker."
Trustees also came under fire during the collapse of the finance company sector for failing to protect the interests of investors. Guardian Trust was the trustee for Hanover Finance.
One investor group said it had yet to decide if it would pursue legal action against Guardian Trust. Fellow trustee company Perpetual Trust is facing legal action from the receivers of failed finance company Capital + Merchant.

We all know hobbits love their breakfast. And their second breakfast. And elevenses. And lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper. Shire grub seems largely inspired by traditional British items like scones and jam, sausages, mushrooms, whipped cream and berries, seed cakes, bread, cheese, fruits, and of course ale — food that Tolkien himself loved to eat.
Then there's more esoteric fare from other corners of Tolkien's world, like lembas, an elvish "waybread" much like cowboy hardtack. A few nibbles of lembas and an elf, dwarf or Númenórean could be sustained for days on the tough road to his or her next quest.
But how, exactly, might you make all that Middle-earth food here on regular-earth?
A fellow in Arlington, Massachusetts, is eager to find out. He has launched a Kickstarter campaign to answer such questions as: What ingredients went into Bilbo's pork pies? What did Sam's coney stew contain? (Hint: Rabbits.) And, and I quote from the Kickstarter website, "If Balrogs had wings, what would they taste like?"

Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)
Commercialization Assistance
The Department of Energy (DOE) is dedicated to the successful commercialization of SBIR/STTR funded technologies and provides comprehensive commercialization services to its awardees. The DOE is able to fund discretionary commercialization assistance to all DOE SBIR and STTR Phase I awardees. Award recipients have two options for receiving commercialization assistance: (1) utilize services provided by a DOE vendor or (2) identify their own commercialization assistance provider.
If you wish to receive commercialization assistance from the DOE vendor (Dawnbreaker, Inc.), you do not need to include this in your budget. If you are awarded a Phase I grant, you will receive notification from DOE and follow-up contact from Dawnbreaker, the DOE commercialization vendor, on what services are available to you and how to obtain these services at no cost to your small business.
If you wish to utilize your own commercialization assistance provider, you are required to include this as a subcontract or consultant in your budget and to provide a detailed budget justification. You may include up to $5,000 for assistance in Phase I and up to $5,000 per year in Phase II. Please note that this commercialization assistance does not count toward the maximum award size in either Phase I or Phase II. For example, a Phase I applicant seeking commercialization assistance from an external provider could result in an increase of $5,000 over the maximum award limit. That is, for a topic with a maximum award limit of $150,000, the actual award may increase to $155,000. Reimbursement is limited to services received that comply with 15 U.S.C. § 638(q).
To learn more about the commercialization services available to you via Dawnbreaker, please preview the following presentation (1.7MB).
Please note that all DOE SBIR/STTR awardees that choose to work with Dawnbreaker are required to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with Dawnbreaker. Please click here (15KB) to see a copy of the NDA. The DOE General Counsel has reviewed this agreement; but ultimately, it is up to the DOE awardee to determine if this NDA is acceptable. Please keep in mind; it is a requirement that each grantee sign this agreement to be eligible for DOE commercialization assistance as provided by Dawnbreaker.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Following Toms advice to get more surface agitation and water movement... took off the lids from my tank and moved spray bar up to ripple water slightly so fish get more O2. They are looking happier already! Thanks for everyone's input and ideas!
|Tom you have a thread or something where you post your tanks pictures? I only saw it in examples. BTW nice tanks.
There not are fixed levels for nitrates and phosphates so the standar range is 10-20 ppm Nitrates and 0.5-2 ppm Phosphates. Dont worry rising NO3 to 10 or 20 ppm fast, Its not is toxic at that levels.
Shrimps in 55G is kind difficult, if you are talking about cherry shrimps or similar size you need a lot to see them. Still almost all fishes eats them so I dont know about your fish but I saw people with tetras and no problems and other people with tetras that eats shrimps fast, so I think it is more a behavior thing, than specie. I have guppies with shrimps they dont eats adults but I think that baby shrimps are easy food. The tanks with only shrimps have a lot more than tank with shrimps and guppies.
Hi Tom,
Figure I should post the questions I asked you in e-mail in here so others can benefit:
From the post you just made...I thought people say to reduce current and surface agitation so Co2 isn't gassed off especially on non Co2 tank. Just want to make sure I'm understanding..... So I should have an additional filter and more circulation? Right now I don't have water agitation and very little water moving only what the one eheim makes and I have the spray bar 3in bellow the water surface so the top is still.
Questions I emailed....I have a couple questions. What is the ideal level ppm I want my Nitrates and Phosphates at? I have been adding a little under 1/2t KNO3 once a week for two weeks and my level is still at 0. I add 1 cap full flourish once a week.
So after my phosphates are back in normal range should I continue with 1 cap full flourish small pinch of PO4 and 1/4t KNO3. Also is a KH2- GH4 good do I need to change anything here? I just put in some water spike last weekend after reading some post suggesting it. It covers half the tank. I have like 20 fish Rasboras, tetras and 2 African glass catfish, Chinese algae eater and Cory Cat. One more quick question no one at the fish store can answer will African glass catfish or my Chinese algae eater eat/bother shrimp. I want to get some but not sure if these fish will eat them.
Thanks for the info!! Such a big help.

Good current etc.
Here's my non CO2:
I use a Rena 3(350 gph) and a rio powerhead for current.
Safety backup if anything clogs etc.
Plenty of O2 and adds new CO2(even if limiting and low).
This is better for fish no matter how you slice it.
When we add all this structure and plant biomass, this reduces the circulation a GREAT deal.
Plants are doing good, so that is plus.
But........fish always come first, we can fix plant probleme without losing them or the fish.....but cannot bring fish back from the dead.
So always error of the fish side of things.
Without CO2, there's no good reason not to have good current.
Even with CO2........
Fish like it.
Yes, clean the filter maybe once every 2-3 months, I use a sponge prefilter slipped over the intake,this reduces muck and I clean that weekly.

GH booster adds obviously GH(Ca and Mg) and some K+
Just to clarify.

Ok, thats good. make a Reset (w/c) to down these phosphates levels then adds micros, you know I think you need to adds KNO3 to mantain Nitrates 10-20 ppm. you can make a solution of KH2PO4 to dose it lightly.
One more question, what filter you use?
|The store used the standard drop test kits. I have a test kit for Nitrite, Nitrate, Ammonia, Ph, KH/GH, I will definitely pick up one for Phosphates. I think I'll stop adding dry fert. for a while and let the tank get back to normal... then may be try very small amounts and test often. My algae is getting out of hand I think this may have to do with high Phosphates. Also I want to get my fish back to good health. They are still light colored and have cloudy eyes. I've done 2 water changes last week so hopefully that and getting the Phosphates lower will help. On the good side the plants are growing great!
wow, fish gasping for air and you have cero ammonia and nitrite. humm. What you use or the store use to test the parameters? You can dose ferts, still, low light and no CO2, there maybe not need to dose macros, maybe veryyy low quantities not are bad. Macros and micros are the food for the plants, if the plants not eats them fast enought mainly the macros will go up overtime. Do you make w/c?
I have a 55G el natural (NO CO2, Sun light, still good canister), with lots of plants (swords, valls, egerias, anubias), few fish, substrate, and I dont dose anything, only KNO3 to kill cyano algae. So you see it not needed to fert a lot.
When you use CO2 the plants grows 3-5 times faster (providing good light) so they eats 3X - 5X nutrients.
If you dont have test kit, really buy one (liquid not strip) if you will continue to dose dry ferts. I always have my test kit at hand, check Nitrates and Phosphates when something go wrong.
Thanks everyone for responding.... I am new to this to I really appreciate everyone's help. I don't have co2. I was following the guild lines I found http://www.sudeepmandal.com/hobbies/...ed-tank-guide/ for non co2 lower light tank.
Yesterday I lost two more fish so I brought my water into the aquarium store and they tested for phosphates after I told them I was adding KNO3 and KH2PO4. They said my phosphates were at the highest their test could read 10. So I added a Phosphate lowering product to my filter to try to lower my levels. I'm not sure what went wrong with my dosing. I dosed once a week and only added a little less than 1/8t KH2PO4 and 1/2t KNO3 following the recommendations on the website. Do you have any ideas why they would have gotten so high? I did see some fish gasping at the top of the water and other fish are light colored. In the past 3 days I've lost a total of 6 fish. 4 0ttos and 2 Rasboras. Every thing else in the tank reads 0.
Nitrate reads close to 0,
ammonia 0
nitrite 0
What are your recommendations for me moving forward? Should I not dose fertilizers since I'm not adding CO2? If I should how much should I add and how often to my 55gallon no co2? I am new to planted tanks and really excited about hopefully getting it right in the near future....
Thank you so much for the advice.
|Barrs GH Booster ups kH? Because Ca, Mg and Potasium only ups GH for KH only a few teaspoons of baking soda and you have a good up of kH and pH. Still if you like the low kH and GH (for soft water plants) you have the perfect water. Is more difficult to mantain as you see but for me its a privilege, in my house pH dont down from 7.6 - 8.0!!!
As pH drops under 6.5, biofilter bacteria may start shutting down or dying. That may result in a sudden increase in ammonia production. If there wasn't sufficient plant growth to keep up with it, this could be responsible for the death of your oto's.
I suggest increasing your kH with "Barrs GH Booster" from the same website where you got your dry ferts.
Or you can do it old-school with baking soda and epsom salts.
Test the KH. This will help know where you are at.
But in general, EI is applied only to CO2 tanks, modifications for CO2 are divided about 10-15 x.
So you'd only dose maybe once every 1-2 weeks and then not much.
the ferts should not do any harm to ottos, I have a bunch, they have lived for 3-5 years. Which might be a long time or a short time depending. When you first get them, they die like flies, but one or two seem to never die.
Likely they get enough diatoms, while the others do not as much.
Still, the pH should not move around that much and the pH should rise during the day, and fall at night and be the lowest at pre dawn. Highest at the end of the light cycle, this can be 2 full units if the KH is low.
But fish are fine in natural systems under these conditions, so do not place too much faith in the pH are some meaningful parameter when plants and CO2 are involved.
Folks add CO2 gas to supply the plants, but even in non CO2 tanks, the plants will use up all the CO2, and that drives the pH up, but this is not the case in CO2 enriched tanks, since folks add more CO2 than the plants require, the pH drops some, but does not rise while it is being added.
|I rallydont know but I think that EI dosing with that low KH not is a good idea dosing it at full strengh once.I think you can dose the fertilizers parcially, dose it every day, just divide the dosing by 7. small doses dont alter things a lot. by the end of the week you will have lower pH but because it downs slowly your fish can aclimate. Still your pH maybe dont change a lot because your plants sucking nutrients will affect pH so it can neutralize the Phos effect. Another thing you can do is mantain the pH low with the ferts. Just when do w/c mix the ferts (Macros) with the new water in a bucket so the pH will be the same as the pH of the aquarium, so mantaining lower pH with Macros.

After selling cocaine to undercover cops at least 19 times over the last two years, a Papa John's delivery guy from Brooklyn was finally arrested this week for trying to unload $27,500 worth of the drug along with a large pizza and a box of Papa's Chicken Poppers.
Prosecutors say 45-year-old Ramon Rodriguez had been using his gig at the Fifth Avenue Papa John's in Sunset Park as a cover for his cocaine dealings, often hiding the stuff in pizza boxes and engaging in handoffs while in uniform.
Undercover officers had apparently been buying drugs from Rodriguez since the fall of 2011, but only arrested him this past Wednesday.
He was booked on charges of of criminal sale of a controlled substance (multiple counts) and criminal possession of a controlled substance (one count).
Another man, Jonathan Martinez, was also arrested for allegedly selling $1,200 of cocaine to an undercover cop in a meeting arranged by Rodriguez.
I think this is a pretty common way to deal drugs
quote:I'm assuming they were trying to build a case on this guy and see who is other associates were.
Why did the cops buy so much drugs from him and just arrest him?
I can take you to a Wendy's in west Jackson right now and you can get some dope with your #3
This could explain why their stock price has tripled over the last few years.
I'd be willing to bet that the majority of pizza places have some small time pot dealer as a delivery driver.

Very tiny swarm, probably an after swarm. About the size of a tennis ball, but I did get a new queen out of it. Added a couple of frames of bees to them and started a nuc. We will see how it does. Very easy swam to get. They were on a fence post about 4 feet off the ground.

'SAVED' Musikka.
Thirty-five years ago, a doctor took Elvy Musikka aside and told her that she'd go blind from her glaucoma if she didn't start smoking. Marijuana, that is. At first, the mother of two balked; then she lit up a joint in her kitchen. She's been celebrating ever since.
Today, thanks to the 12 medically-approved marijuana cigarettes she smokes or ingests every day — legally now — she can see. "Really, I'd be the last person you'd expect with a joint," said Musikka, now 70 and a grandmother, who keeps her stash in her pocketbook. "Marijuana saved me. It is God's most wonderful gift to my life."
Sighted, Musikka had little trouble reading Big Book of Buds, Reefer Madness, and other pot publications circulating at the recent National Clinical Conference on Cannabis Therapeutics in Warwick.
The event, held over two days at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, drew about 300 people from throughout the country, including doctors, academics, nurses, licensed growers, and, in large numbers, patients like Musikka, who flew all the way from her home in Eugene, Oregon, to praise the plant.
Doctors in wingtips sat side-by side with pony-tailed and pig-tailed growers (or "caregivers") in the hotel's Grand Ballroom, as academics from as far away as Brazil gave highly scientific presentations about how marijuana helps people with severe, chronic, and debilitating illnesses, such as HIV, cancer, and Multiple Sclerosis. Participants seemed hopeful that the public is finally beginning to recognize marijuana's therapeutic value.
"People need to get it in their head that this is a real drug, a real medicine," said Dr. David Bearman, of Santa Barbara, who sold copies of his book, Demons, Discrimination, and Dollars: A Brief History of the Origins of American Drug Policy. "People need to get out of their minds 95 years of propaganda."
In many ways, Rhode Island was a fitting location for the seminar, sponsored by Patients Out of Time, a national marijuana advocacy group, and the University of California-San Francisco Medical School. In Rhode Island, medical marijuana has been legal since 2006, and this summer three state-licensed "compassion centers" might open to make it easier for the state's 1562 medically-approved marijuana patients to get the plant.
Also, the General Assembly is weighing a measure — already adopted by 13 states — to decriminalize possession of an ounce or less of marijuana. State Senator Joshua Miller, a Cranston Democrat who is spearheading the initiative, estimates that the state could save up to $11.1 million per year in court costs.
Jim Fowler, 44, of Palmyra, Maine — patient, grower, contributor to Far Out magazine, author of a medical marijuana handbook, and hawker of $80 bongs and an organic spray that protects pot leaves from grow-light burns — said the country should go one step further.
"Out and out legalization,'' said Fowler, who prefers to smoke marijuana, rather than pop Percocets, to relieve his back pain. "What we're talking about here is [more] benign than drinking a beer."
Like any advocacy group, the cannabis crowd is passionate about its beliefs — and knowledgeable about the product. More often than not, a simple query — "Where are you from?" — prompted a friendly lecture about, say, the "neuropsychobiological evidence for the expression of cannabinoid CB2 receptors in the brain" or the Federal Drug Administration's dimwitted failure to acknowledge the plant's medical efficacy.

more Bobby Brown highlights.. foot work looks great
Last edited by Carter.525; 07-18-2013 at 08:56 PM.
i just watched an amare documentary "in the moment" on netflix. man i love this dude so much. he works so hard and is such a professional and does everything he can to help the the team but his body keeps betraying him...
i still believe in him. he's gonna stay healthy this year and beast. watching the documentary i think he works too hard in the offseason. the knicks and him both feel the same way now and are having him take it easy this offseason. keeping him on a minutes limit this seasin i think he'll stay healthy but still be very effective in the role he plays.
people love to hate on melo and amare, but these guys are winners. they've been on winning teams their entire lives. i may sound like a crazy optimist but i still think they can work together and win new york a championship.
hopefully if we bring back kmart, i think the rotations can maximize the strengths of the key guys. bargs starting at the 4 can space the floor on offense, and on defense you can stick him on the less mobile of the 2 bigs and have chandler guard the other.
then with amare coming off the bench with kmart (hopefully we can get him back) that could work very well.
i just hope woody doesn't stick with small ball and then pkay bargs and stat together off the bench.
Leslie to me is a tweeter.. not big enough to play PF and doesn't have the skills to be a SF
would be great to send him to the D league for a season or two
Dont take it from me though if u disagree watch his Full Games on Youtube you will see it. Rarely do the negatives on Scouting reports show up so easily like they do with him.
I still love the signing and think it was a great move. U dont get players with this type of moldable ability as a FA very often. Knicks must of done a great job being able to beat out the other teams who im sure were wiling to risk nothing to have him
Look at this from an AAU Basketball board
Leslie is a cancer and will wreck your program. He has already changed AAU teams 4x's this year and was supposed to be going to Word of God. I watched him play this past year during the Holly Springs season and at the Carolina Challenge. He is a good talent, but extremely lazy. He is a bad seed and just the type of player Sidney would want hanging out with his son. Good luck!
CJ and his family are all about the money!!! That's why they keep changing AAU teams. Cj has a long way to go and has no desire to improve his game; lazy is just the tip of the problem for CJ. To bad his parents are looking for a free ride. CJ and fam just got D-One... Who will The "Leslie's" get next?????? Watch out
NBADraft.net Most of his problems stem from a lack of focus and motivation on the court … Questionable motor on both ends of the floor … Scouts have major reservations about his basketball IQ / attitude / negative body language ..
He might be better off in the D league then on the Knicks roster.. That kid needs to have his dream put in jeopardy maybe he will work harder.
Felton 34 mpg 68 GP 68 Starts 2313 minutes
Pablo 16 mpg 78 GP 18 Starts 1263 minutes
Kidd 27 mpg 76 GP 48 Starts 2043 minutes
Point guard minutes available 3936 82 games X 48 min
Knicks PG minutes played 5619 134 Starts
What bothers me looking at this is u would think with 2 PG's on the floor u would get a lot more ball movement, however even with logging all those 2 point guard alignments the Knicks were dead last in assists per game.Will the ball movement get worse? I would say Yes. If u replace a PG Kidd with a player like Bargs who doesnt pass the assists should drop more, Will it hurt the overall offense maybe ,maybe not, The Knicks still could field 3 of the most individually skilled players in the NBA getting their own shot off. I suspect the offense to be more stagnant but not any less effective.
Part of me wants the Knicks to go after Nate Robinson. I think some of the things he does is exactly what the Knicks could use.A small quick guard who can play match ups against quicker guards. Can provide a back up 6th man option to a streaky JR Smith and also insurance if he isnt healthy. Im not sure Nate would like a role like that.I think he ideally wants to be a 6th man, if thats not possible a straight guaranteed back up job is next.I wouldnt want to use him like that. I would like to split the back up PG duties.
I also believe 100% we can get a pick plus a small trade exemption for him later in the season if JR is healthy.
The other part of me shudders at the thought of him being on the court with JR,Melo, and Bargs.Trying to get Bargs Melo and JR to work will I think is already a huge challenge. There arent enough balls in shoot around for those 4 let alone playing them together. Woodson would have to juggle minutes to make it work, not sure if it can
i think a lot of the low assist numbers were due to the slow pace the knicks played at combined with the iso heavy offense. felton isn't really a great distributing pg... he has tunnel vision on the pick n roll, either he shoots it or lobs to tyson. teams took away the lob as the year went along which led to felton chucking or pulling out of the play and deferring to melo. i hope the ball movement is better this season. it's really amazing when you consider how efficient and effective the knicks offense was, despite not getting many easy buckets (other than the occasional lob to tyson)
tyler is a beast. sign this dude before someone else does.
leslie looks very good today too

i think the knicks might sign murray from the summer league team for the 3rd pg spot. he's a solid defender with great size for the position. i'd prefer a defender like him over a guy like bobby brown that is strictly a scorer.

Awards as the outstanding senior athletes among Hope College graduates in the class of 2006 were presented to two students during the college's Honors Convocation on Thursday (April 27).
Kurtis Blohm of Wilmington, Ohio (Wilmington HS) was presented the Otto van der Velde All-Campus Award while Bria Ebels of Holland (Holland HS) received the John Schouten award.
The van der Velde award is presented to a senior man for outstanding contribution to the college in athletics, scholarship and participation in student activities. The award, presented annually since 1932, is named in memory of Dr. Otto van der Velde, a 1915 Hope College graduate who lettered in four sports and was later the college's team physician for more than 40 years.
The Schouten award is given to a senior women who, in addition to excelling in athletics, possess other strong character traits and leadership abilities. The award is named in memory of John "Jack" Schouten who was a long-time physical educator and coach at Hope, in addition to serving as the college's first director of athletics.
A special education teaching major, Ebels was a four-year letterwinner in basketball. This season she was a member of Hope's national championship team and was named the outstanding player of the final four. She is the daughter of Doug and Pam Ebels of Holland, Mich.
A chemical engineering major, Blohm was an NCAA All-American swimmer and two-time most valuable swimmer in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association. He is the son of Ed and Jan Blohm of Wilmington, Ohio.

Reviews of this property
Quiet Location, room as described, very clean and modern, Andrea + Carla are very friendly and helpful, but room is in the basement (souterrain), bathroom was on the floor and finding sleep was not easy because the floor was loud (the door handles,...) and our door had glass elements so we woke up everytime somebody switched on the floor lights
We had a lovely stay in Roma. 10 minutes walking from Colosseum, in a nice and quiet neighbourhood. Andrea gave clear information about busses, shop and restaurants. He's a good host! Breakfast was at a nice bar nearby with friendly people, open at 6 AM!
The apartment from Carla & Andrea is nice and very clean. Before we started our trip, she gave us some tips, how to get to the apartment. She gave us also great tips where we can find good restaurants in the area. The location is perfect because it is very near to the Colosseum - by foot it will take 10 minutes. A bus station is also very near to the apartment.
The apartment from Andrea & Carla is nice and very clean. Andrea came every day by checking if everything is ok. He gave us also great tips where we can find good restaurants in the area. The location is great because it is very near to the Colosseum - by foot it will take approx. 10-15 minutes. A bus station is also very near to the apartment.
We had a great time and we can highly recommend this apartment.
Rome is a very nice & antic city!
We had a very pleasant stay at the B&B. The location is perfect, in walking distance from the Colliseum. The rooms are clean and spacious. All in all, it is very good value for money.
We had a great weekend with friends at Carla and Andrea. They are VERY friendly, they speak very good French and have good advice on Rome. The room is clean, in a quiet and pleasant. this is a very good value for money. We hope to return to Rome soon and in this B & B.
Nous avons passé un très bon week end en amoureux chez Carla et Andréa. Ils sont TRES accueillant, ils parlent un très bon français et ont des bons conseils sur Rome. La chambre est propre, dans un quartier calme et agréable. c'est un très bon rapport qualité prix. Nous espérons revenir à Rome bientôt et dans ce B&B.
I enjoyed my stay at Andrea and Carla´s. The bed was comfortable and the rooms where very clean. The brekfast is simple, but they have a lot of good food at the café where you get your breakfast served.
Andrea and Carla were very helpful in communicating with me prior to my stay in Rome. They provided excellent direction as to how to get to their bed & breakfast. They were also kind enough to advise purchasing tickets to certain tourist sites in advance. The b&b was very clean and well kept. For a building without air conditioning it was pretty cool. The bedrooms were very comfortable but the walls are a bit thin. Everything was quite accessible from where we were. They were both very accommodating to allow us to leave our bags in the b&b throughout the day on the day of our checkout since we had an evening flight. They were both very helpful and I would highly recommend staying here.
Andrea Carla and good people, very helpful and friendly and above all ready to lend a hand with information about the city '. The room and the bathroom beautiful, very clean and arranged. We found ourselves very well and certainly when we return to Rome we will stay here again. Deserves!
Andrea e Carla ottime persone, molto disponibili e gentili e soprattutto pronti a dare una mano con le informazioni sulla citta'. La camera e il bagno belli, molto puliti e sistemati. Noi ci siamo trovate molto bene e quando ritorniamo a Roma sicuramente ci fermeremo di nuovo qua. Merita!
Andrea and Carla are two lovely people and very friendly, great hospitality. The apartment is located in a strategic point of the city, you can access very quickly walk to the Coliseum and the metro. Certainly recommended!
Andrea e Carla sono due persone deliziose e molto gentili, di grande ospitalità.
L'alloggio è situato in un punto strategico della città, è possibile accedere molto rapidamente a piedi il colosseo e la metro.
Sicuramente da consigliare!
- Quality assured accommodation

Fed Opens Possibility Of Increased Bond Purchases
The Federal Reserve is out with its latest policy statement, which keeps with the recent pattern of not changing a great deal from the previous statement. But here's the one key new sentence this time around:
The Committee is prepared to increase or reduce the pace of its purchases to maintain appropriate policy accommodation as the outlook for the labor market or inflation changes.
Here the Fed is essentially giving itself explicit permission to take a flexible approach toward its $85 billion monthly bond purchase program, notably to increase those purchases if it sees fit. Previously the Fed had only suggested that it would gradually wind down the program without reserving the right to increase those purchases.
The Treasury market took the statement in stride, with ten-year yields rising modestly from 1.615% right before the statement's release to 1.636% most recently, according to Tradeweb data, but still lower than the 1.672% yield at the start of the day.
Our colleagues at the Wall Street Journal's Real Time Economics blog illustrate exactly how little has changed since the Fed's last statement here.

text: Hi everyone. I'm Hugo from Portugal. I'm 33 yo, been into mountain biking for 17 years, and write for a mountain bike magazine. Recently I started looking into alternative/ homebuilt bicycles and -gasp- recumbents (does that make me weird? :wink: ) and decided to build a chopper (I'll post details and photos on "other bikes"). I had sooo much fun I knew I was hooked. Started looking for another project on the net, came across this site, double hooked! For the past few days I've been reading old posts incessantly and have been blown away, not just by the coolness and quality of your bikes, but also by how friendly and clean this forum is. Way to go! I already have a project in mind, but I need a straight bar frame wich does not exist in my neck of the woods. I´ll build one from scratch if I have to, they're beautiful! Other interests include old Vespas and Lambrettas, and general fabrication/ DIY. I worked for a few years as a CNC technician, another couple of years as a bike mechanic/ bike shop guy, looking for a career change right now (lots of free time). I'm so looking forward to building bikes with you guys! Hugo
