Reviews of this property
Particularly tight apartment. Minimalist in design. This applies particularly to the kitchen. The apartment is OK if you do not cook yourself. TV not working. No information on Milan or the surrounding area. Finding a baker, butcher or supermarket is left to yourself, which at least an hour walking through the area kost.Verder kindest reception by Marcello. Get key is no problem. Thanks to the nearby Metro station Isola is no problem that you are outside the center.
Bijzonder strak appartement. Minimalistisch in inrichting. Dat geldt vooral voor de keuken. Het appartement voldoet als je niet zelf wil koken. TV werkt niet. Geen informatie over Milaan of de directe omgeving. Het vinden van een bakker, slager of een supermarkt wordt aan jezelf overgelaten, wat tenminste een uur wandelen door de omgeving kost.Verder allervriendelijkste ontvangst door Marcello. Sleutel ophalen is geen probleem. Dankzij het nabije Metro- station Isola is het geen probleem dat je buiten het centrum zit.
Fast processing time of booking! Smooth and quick keys! Apartment new, modern, clean and very well equipped! Central location in a beautiful part of Milan. Gladly again!
Schnell Bearbeitung der Buchung! Problemlose und schnelle Schlüsselübergabe! Appartment neu, modern, sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet! Zentrale Lage in einem schönen viertel von Mailand. Gerne wieder!
Reviews for this host's other properties
Me and my wife spend 4 days at Milan staying at the flat. The location of the flat is very convenience, close to central station from where you can take bus to Malpensa airport and main trains put of Milano like Venice, Como lake etc. Alos the shopping area is a short walk about 20 minutes which we didnt bother. Walking around the town is better rather than taking taxis and busses. You get to know the city better and see all shops. Near the flat is the big skycryper of Unicredit and a small financial center. Is the area where you can see all new skycrypers and new buildings. There is also a near supermarket at the near plaza which is very cheap. The decoration of the flat is very old which looks better from wimdu pictures. Its one bedroon flat with living room , kitchen and bathroom. Bedroom is a reasonable size with retro furniture. The wifi was not working and ask the landlor to fix it. Till the day we left nothing happened. Wonder if they have fixed it. Looking back to old reviews some others had the same problem and now i wonder if they ever had a workable wifi. We had one set of towel each with not replacement. The bedroom was very well climate with the central heating working all day. Hot water was 27/7 however we had a bit of problem is shower. Hot water could not stay all time same tempreture which was annoy. Also when another person was using other water tap the water was becaming very cold. Windows was very old single glase and difficult to open or close. TV had many channels including some english ones. Bed sheets was not clean so we asked for fresh ones who have provided. The landlord claimed that the sheets were cleaned but they offered fresh ones. Overall cleanless of the flat was not up my standard if i compare with a hotel i would say a 2 star bedroom. If you dont mind the flat contintion but you prefer a good location then go for it. You get what you pay.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We had a nice stay. The water was cold and we sent a sms and it tok them 20 min ti fix it. Close to metro and Close to the things you want to se. 3 min to supermarket. 2 min to metro. I can recoment this Place.
A pleasant place to stay in Milano. 10 min walk from Central Station, service was good and informations helpful.
For questions answer mail was always quick and kind so no stress of organizing the trip. Room was clean stylish comfortable for short stay of mine.
Perfect location for city holidays. Recommandable!
The apartment was nice and clean and had working AC. It was nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. A great thing was that the renters had put out different trashcans for easy recycling.
Another thing to mention was how sweet and caring the renters were! Really helpful, me and my friends were overall very pleased with this stay!
My daughter and her partner went to the appartment. Picking up the keys was easy and convenient. Location of the appartment couldn't be better, near the metro and supermarket. Inside it was really noisy, next to a heavy door that people banged shut. Two of the nights the neighbours upstairs moved furniture around for more than an hour around 2.30 in the morning it was terrible. When you are out all day walking you really need to sleep.
A nice little lamp would be cosy instead of the bright light.

country and var are string variables.
The dataset has 26500 rows and 43 columns (53 countries, 37 years, 500

I would need the dataset to be organized as follows

This dataset would have 502 columns (country, year and 500 variables),
and 1961 rows (53 countries times 37 years).
I tried the usual reshape commands but had no success. I am sure I am
missing something. Your help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Here's how I'd do it with two passes of -reshape-. There may be more elegant ways. The confusion may be because on reshaping to long, you end up with your data in a variable called _year_?
reshape long year, i( country var) j(y)
rename year n
rename y year
reshape wide n, i( country year) j( var) str
You end up with an 'n' prefix for the variables, but it should do the job?

Rush Soccer is pleased to announce their partnership with another club in the Caribbean. As of today, C Stars United of Curacao have become CSU Rush. This marks the fourth Rush branch in the Caribbean, joining the Bahamas and two clubs in Haiti.
Nestled just north of the South American coast, Curacao is a small, autonomous nation of around 150,000 people. Though they are still a member of the Dutch Kingdom, they have an independent government and commerce structure. The main city of Willemstad is home to one of the deepest natural harbors in the world, and the island serves as a main waypoint for shipping routes between South America and the United States and Europe. The native language is Papiamentu (a blend of Spanish, Portuguese and the west-african language of genie), though most people also speak English and Dutch. The island has many beautiful cove beaches even though it is only about 32 miles long and between 3 and 15 miles wide.
"This is a great step for us," remarked Caribbean Technical Director Brian Lux. "This is an area that has a wealth of athletic talent and a great soccer history. Being a former member of the Netherlands Antilles, there is a great European influence. Couple that with the indigenous culture and you have a great recipe to produce great players." CSU Rush President Henry Plaate is also very excited. "We have been searching for a partnership in the USA over the last few years and we have hit the "jackpot" with Rush Soccer!"
This season the CSU Rush U15 Boys finished as semifinalists of the national league, losing to the eventual champions. The team will work hard this offseason to be ready for next year's competition. Also, for the first CONCACAF U15 tournament in Grand Cayman, CSU Rush will have 4 players in the national selection.
Bon Bini (that's Welcome in Papiamentu) to CSU Rush!

JENNINGS — A new pregnancy outreach program is available to expectant mothers in Jeff Davis Parish.
Known as the Gabriel Project, the program is a ministry offered by Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Jennings.
"The Gabriel Project seeks to save babies and assist women in their needs, both spiritually and with material needs," the Rev. Anthony Fontenot said.
"Just as the angel Gabriel was sent with a message of great hope, this is what we will strive to do."
The program provides a 24-hour hotline staffed by volunteers as well as spiritual and emotional support for unwed mothers and those facing difficult pregnancies. The program also provides baby items the mother might need.
"This is a great thing to have in the parish," Johnny Armentor of Knights of Columbus Council 9110 said. "One of the goals of the Knights of Columbus is to choose life. Any baby we can save will be worth it."
A sign in front of the church for the Gabriel Project reads: "We, the members of this church community, see in the birth of each baby a fresh expression of God's unfailing love. For the love of God and each and every one of his children, we offer immediate and practical help to any woman faced with what might seem to be a crisis pregnancy. The only condition is that the child be allowed to live."
"This is something we have needed in the parish, and it is a good program to help those in need," Harold Matthews said.
The Gabriel Project phone number is 337-439-7400, ext. 317. The calls are directed to the Diocese of Lake Charles, which assesses the women's needs and refers them to the Gabriel Project.
Fontenot hopes to see the program expanded to include other churches in the area.
"It would be really good if we could all get together and pool our resources," he said.
Immaculate Conception Catholic Church will serve as the distribution site for baby items donated by the community. Items including baby clothes, diapers, strollers, cribs, car seats, formula and baby food can be donated to the church.
Volunteers are also needed to help respond to the calls and mentor the mothers-to-be.
To donate baby items or volunteer for the program contact the church at 824-1893.

Hey everyone, this is my first mock draft.
Round 1 pick 26: Jared Crick DT Nebraska: the most fearsome d-line with or without osi next year. He reminds me a lot like Jared Allen, same first name, motor, would be top 15 pick had he not torn his pec. I think it showed when bernard made that sack, that we need another fred robbins in the middle who can get in the qb's face. Alternative Picks: Alfonso Dennard(good cover corner but not so hot in run rupport, Cliff Harris CB Oregon(can return punts, and good against deep ball, don't wanna see amukamara torched deep next season)
Round 2: Tyler Eiffert TE Notre Dame: Athletic pass catching tight end who blocks well on screens. Ballard and Eiffert. Double Trouble. Please draft him unless Dwayne Allen falls to us. Alternative Picks; DJ Fluker OT Bama'/ Robert Lester Safety(i know we're developing sash but lester has 10 int's and can be that gamechanging playmaking safety the giants need, kenny phillips is a good deep safety but too many balls caught in front of him and miscommunications with webster.
Round 3: Nate Potter OT Boise State: Also wouldn't mind kellen moore in the 6th or7th competition for carr. I think we'll plug in Brewer at RT for McKenzie and Potter/Beatty depending on his eye health. Alternative Picks: Coby Fleener, Lamichael James( we need a back in case Jacobs doesn't return .

Susan Damour Named Regional Administrator of GSA Rocky Mountain Region
October 23, 2009
Contact: Chris Hoagland, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON — The U.S. General Services Administration today announced the appointment of Susan Damour to serve as the Regional Administrator for GSA's Rocky Mountain Region, effective October 26, 2009.
As the Rocky Mountain Regional Administrator, Damour will oversee all of GSA's activities in Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming; including management of federal real estate and information technology. She will be responsible for an inventory of 615 government-owned buildings which house nearly 50,000 federal employees.
Damour's experience in sustainability policy makes her uniquely qualified to lead the Rocky Mountain Region as GSA carries out green building projects across the country through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Damour served as Regional Administrator from 1998 to 2001, at which time she helped coordinate the then-largest ever wind energy purchase by federal agencies to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Earth Day. Before coming back to GSA, she most recently served as the Director of Outreach for the Rocky Mountain Climate Organization.
Damour previously served as Senior Vice President of Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood, Vice President of the Bell Policy Center in Denver, and District Director for Congressman David Skaggs in Westminster, CO.
Damour received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Arts from Colorado Woman's College and her Master of Business Administration from the Keller Management School of Business in Chicago, IL.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 213,000 vehicles.
GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 480 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.

No Doubt's Video: Just Another Hollywood Stereotype

Recently, the web has been buzzing over the portrayal of Native Americans in the popular band, No Doubt's latest video. While personally, this video doesn't really offend me, what I'm noticing is that it's primarily native people who were offended by it, leading to the band's decision to pull the video entirely. What the non-natives may not understand is the extreme sense of pride of native culture, by its people. Hollywood has inaccurately portrayed us since the early days of film, and this video is just an extension of that.

"Can o' Worms"
No doubt that it's been in use for a very long time (early 60's till now). A lot of service guys are familar with it.
It's easy to assemble (put one together). Easy access to ammunition, or to reload for.
Inter-changeable parts and the list goes on and on.
Yes, I like the AK (and I have quite a few) but with the AR, I don't have to worry about if it's made in Poland, Hungary, Romainia or where ever.
And, there is the always SHTF deal, parts will be available if you know what I mean.
Just a few of my opinions, and I'm sure that others will have theirs.

I have tried quite a few options over the years with varying success. We (Osprey Packs) did some reservoir testing with Tailwind which is another SW Colorado company. Can honestly say it has worked the best for keeping my energy levels high without the bloated stomach feeling I get from drinking too much of the other drinks. A quick clean out of the reservoir with one of the cleaning tablets kept things from getting funky.

It's a simple fact of life that many would-be blockbusters bypass cinemas in New Zealand and are released straight on to DVD and Bluray. This doesn't always necessarily mean the films in question are bad, but it's no guarantee of quality either.
In this blog entry I am going to look at five relatively high-profile recent films that received a theatrical release in the US, but for one reason or another went straight to DVD in this country. Did they deserve a shot in New Zealand theatres?
Premium Rush has all the hallmarks of a nice shiny new mainstream studio movie - an emerging star in the form of lead Joseph Gordon-Levitt; a marketable high concept (Speed on a bicycle) and solid talent behind the camera in the form of David Koepp, a highly prolific and successful screenwriter (Jurassic Park; Panic Room; Spider-Man; War of the Worlds) who, as in this case, occasionally directs his own screenplays (The Trigger Effect; Secret Window; Ghost Town).
But despite all these elements being in place, the film failed to achieve breakout success at the box office and local distributors chose not to invest in a theatrical release.
Gordon-Levitt plays Wilee, a New York bike messenger who graduated law school but never took the bar exam because when he sees someone his age in a suit it makes his balls shrivel up inside his abdomen. You see, he likes to ride. Those are both quotes from the movie.
After picking up an envelope with the titular designation, Wilee finds himself pursued through the streets of Manhattan by a corrupt cop played by Zod himself, Michael Shannon, whose character first introduces himself to Wilee as "Forrest J. Ackerman". If Wilee was more of a nerd, he would've known then it was a fake name.
For the most part, Premium Rush executes its potentially silly concept with endearing confidence. It's a lean-but-in-no-way-mean action thriller that never really lagged for me.
Gordon-Levitt makes for a good beleagured action lead, and elements of the film favourably recall the 1988 action masterpiece Midnight Run.
The Google Earth-ish zooms in and out are better executed here than in most films and they help establish a clear geography. Street level action is an increasingly obscure artform these days, but Premium Rush displays a consistently agile physicality that I really enjoyed. Even if it was all bicycle-centric.
Plus there's some nifty visual stuff with how Wilee plans his route while zooming along that recalls the fight scene 'precognition' in the Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes movies.
As fun a watch as it was though, Premium Rush did cause me to have a long hard think about whether or not flash mobs have any business being in an action movie.
Did Premium Rush deserve a theatrical release in NZ? I would've paid money to see this in a theatre, but don't think anybody suffered too greatly from it not having a run in cinemas.
French director Luc Besson achieved great success when he produced and co-wrote 2008's action hit Taken, a slick re-mounting of many familiar tropes from American movies. He applies the same model to the sci-fi action genre with his latest film as writer/producer, Lockout, starring Guy Pearce as a framed-for-murder future law man tasked with rescuing the American President's daughter (Taken's Maggie Grace) from a maximum secuirty prison located on the freaking moon.
The spectre of John Carpenter (and especially his 1981 cult classic Escape From New York) hangs all over Lockout - it takes innumerable tonal and situational cues from Carpenter's film, especially in its wise-cracking and world-weary lead character Snow, a clear riff on Kurt Russell's Snake Plissken from Guy Pearce.
I enjoyed Lockout quite a bit. There's some ropey CGI and the film rarely makes sense, but it was always fun and evoked the spirit of '80s sci-fi action with flair.
At a glance this film looks like classic direct-to-video dreck, but it's better than that. The European and American theatrical releases clearly didn't go to plan however, as it wasn't enough of a hit to warrant a theatrical run in New Zealand.
Did Lockout deserve a theatrical release in NZ? Heck yes! It would've been great fun to see this in a theatre with a crowd of old school action movie lovers.
The Apparition got some attention during production due to it starring breakout supporting players from the Twilight and Harry Potter franchises.
Tom Felton (HP's Draco Malfoy) plays a student who unleashes a malevolent spirit while conducting a university experiment that involves trying to contact the dead. Ashley Greene (Twilight's Alice) plays a young woman with no apparent connection to the experiment whose home life with her boyfriend (Captain America's Sebastian Stan) comes under attack from the spirit.
The Apparition was apparently a burden on its distributor Warner Bros., who gave it a limited theatrical release in America before shunting it out on DVD globally. It's a fate befitting the movie's mediocre ambitions - there is very little here we haven't seen a hundred times before, and the cast isn't good enough to make it interesting.
The one ostensible 'surprise' in the film is glaringly obvious from the get-go, and aside from that we are witness to the usual collection of ominous shadows and J-Horror-derived imagery. Very average studio horror.
Did The Apparition deserve a theatrical release in NZ? No. It's pretty cruddy.
Although it bears an even more generic title than The Apparition, The Possession, another new studio horror, is the slightly better film of the two.
However, it nevertheless didn't live up to the slightly elevated expectations I developed due to the presence of horror maestro Sam Raimi as a producer.
Watchmen and Magic City star Jeffrey Dean Morgan stars as a divorced basketball coach whose younger daughter starts acting all weird after she acquires an old box from a garage sale. The item is eventually revealed to be a dybbuk box, which in Jewish folklore is said to contain an evil spirit.
It's put together with a little more grit and menace than The Apparition, but aside from the mildly diverting orthodox Jewish angle, The Posession fails to distinguish itself.
Aswell as taking far too much inspiration from The Exorcist (like we don't have enough films already ripping off that classic), we are also yet again subjected to a string of ghoulish set-pieces that recall classic J-Horror tropes. Both The Possession AND The Apparition feature key The Grudge-esque scenes in which a filthy ghostly hand emerges from a main character. And both instances are on each movie's poster. Yeesh.
Although, if you've always wanted to see Hasidic pop sensation Matisyahu perform an exorcism, then don't miss The Possession. It also happens to be the most vehemently anti-garage sale film this side of Second Hand Honeymoon.
Did The Possession deserve a theatrical release in NZ? Nah. It might've played better in a theatre, but it wasn't interesting enough to make me really wonder.
A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas was released during the 2011 Christmas season in Europe and the States. As best I can tell (the IMDb states otherwise), it skipped a New Zealand theatrical run and was then released on DVD here a whole year later during the 2012 Christmas season.
The very premise of Christmas movies is off-putting, but I absolutely loved A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas, the third film in the franchise about two stoner pals and their surreal, Neil Patrick Harris-laden escapades.
The plot of the new film is a little more grounded than the previous entry - Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay - which was nonetheless also pretty great. When we check in on the boys this time around, they've been estranged for years and each have new best friends. But fate (in the form of an oversized joint) brings them back together and before long they're off on another fun-filled flight of fancy.
All three films in this series are hugely likable, and this entry schools awful recent party movies like 21 & Over and Project X in the art of cinematic excess. I really should've included Harold and Kumar in my recent blog about the best party movies ever.
Every running gag gets a call-back, and the requisite Neil Patrick Harris cameo scales new heights of awesomeness. Plus it's a genuine treat seeing John Cho play against Danny Trejo. Those two should do a buddy movie.
Did A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas deserve a theatrical release in NZ? I say yes. This is a comedy that speaks directly to its fans - it would've been awesome to see it with a crowd. Amazingly, most of the endless 3D gags actually work. It would've been nice to behold them in a theatre, projected in their intended dimension.
Would you have preferred to have seen any of these in a theatre? Do you get angry when studio-mounted films go straight to DVD in this country? Flash mobs in action movies? Yes? No? I'm leaning toward the latter. Comment below!

Permanent Link: [Article]-Nmap from an Ethical Hacker`s View Part 1
Article by Kirby Tucker
Editor's Note: Kirby is a long time contributor and supporter of EH-Net. So when he came to me with the idea to do a more approachable tutorial series on Nmap, it was a no brainer. Be sure to share your thoughts on this article and Nmap in general in the forum discussion.
What, another Nmap tutorial? Yes that's true, but I am hoping to approach it a little differently than what I have seen available. I want to describe Nmap from the viewpoint of a hacker and at the same time give a clear, step-by-step method of attaining a good level of proficiency. After completing this 2 Part Series and having practiced the techniques described, one should not only be able to sit at a "roundtable" discussion with advanced security professionals and "hold their own" in a discussion concerning Nmap, but also utilize this great tool in their own network.
Be sure to share your thoughts and make suggestions,

At one point the ATF said you could weld the barrel shut, weld the carrier and bolt shut and it would no longer be a machine gun. IIRC this was a method to DEWAT. (Deactivate War Trophies.) But there was attendant parperwork to keep with the weapon. (IIRC)
Anything with a third hole in an AK w/o paperwork the atf has said over and over is a machine gun. Weld them shut, its still a machine gun. use JB weld still a machine gun. The atf has stated once a machine gun always a machine gun. It sucks but they make the rules. If teh local agent says youre ok GET IT IN WRITING FROM THAT AGENT WITH ALL HIS INFO ON IT. Personally I'd torch cut that gun NOW and photograph it! Then reweld it.

Keegan Couture
• Brief history about yourself, interests, hobbies: I live in Pequot Lakes with my family. Hobbies include hockey, golf and baseball.
• Future plans: Go to college and play hockey.
• Family: Mom, Cindy Couture-Noyes, and father, Dave Couture.
• How many years have you had art? In my earlier years in high school I was never into art much. When I was in 11th grade I had to take an elective art class and really found out that I enjoyed it. I decided my senior year to take art again. I worked as Mr. Guenther's aid plus took Art II.
• What type of medium do you like to work with most? In Art II I have concentrated on fish decoy carving. My first decoys were nothing special, but I had to start somewhere. I wasn't good at it but with a lot of practice I am very happy with the quality of my fish decoys I am producing now and am having success with them. I really enjoy art, but enjoy carving the most.

CHUCKWALLA LAND: The Riddle of California's Desert. David Rains Wallace. xxii + 255 pp. University of California Press, 2011. $27.50.
Chuckwalla Land, by David Rains Wallace, is an intriguing account of California's deserts and the people who have explored, studied and theorized about them over the past two centuries. Those who want to learn more about these beautiful open spaces, their geologic and evolutionary history, and their plant and animal inhabitants will find this well-written book a useful guide.
Wallace eloquently describes stark landscapes, extreme environments and startlingly modified organisms. His prose conveys well the captivating beauty of the desert, the sense of isolation it can create, his initial impressions of its emptiness and his elation at soon discovering "the presence of so much interesting life in an apparently dead place." In the course of a series of trips to the desert, he tells us, he realized that "although there have been many ideas on the subject—nobody really knows how the bushes and lizards got into the desert or how the desert itself got into California" and that nobody knows the exact age of the California desert. The book is about those enigmas, presenting a history of the various hypotheses scientists have come up with over the decades to explain when and how the desert originated and its inhabitants evolved.
Much of Chuckwalla Land consists of a vivid and detailed account of the ideas and arguments of paleobotanist Daniel Axelrod, botanist and geneticist G. Ledyard Stebbins, and other scientists, who spar verbally with one another in the course of the narrative. In the 1930s and 1940s Axelrod began to challenge the then-prevailing view that desert climates and floras were "earth old." He thought that most desert species had evolved during the past three to five million years, and that these plants were not ancient invaders from the south, as some had theorized; rather, they were descended from the plants that had lived in the woodlands and savannas that had preceded the area that is now desert. In the early 1950s, Stebbins argued that aridity encouraged rapid selection, making the desert an evolutionary frontier that provided unusual opportunities for the expression of genetic variability. He believed that the rise of the California mountains, which formed desert by creating rain shadows, resulted in an environmental shift that caused evolution to accelerate. However, he thought that modern desert plants were descended from ancient xeric or semi-xeric ancestors that were present in the Middle Miocene and later times. By 1974 Stebbins had come to regard desert not as an evolutionary frontier, but as an evolutionary museum; he concluded that the constancy of the desert environment had slowed evolution there, allowing species to accumulate. This suggested that the desert was much older than Axelrod had proposed. Since the late 1990s, Axelrod's basic premise has been called into question by papers estimating that California's major mountains might have arisen more than 70 million years ago and may have been much higher than they are now.
That the origins of California's desert have been controversial is understandable. Those origins are only vaguely visible through the depths of time. Recently derived lineages, evidence of rapid speciation, and unique morphological and physiological modifications have been interpreted by some as evidence of a recent origin. Current geologic evidence suggesting that California's mountains, and the rain shadows they cast, may be much older than was previously thought has led others to conclude that the deserts are ancient. The relatively few fossils of distinct desert organisms, and the greater representation of shrubland and woodland species from which desert history must be inferred, have further confounded the issue. As more fossil evidence has been uncovered and geologic histories have been refined, it has become plausible to maintain that no desert—in the sense of the extensive, angiosperm-dominated ecosystems of the present—is ancient, and that deserts originated through the coalescence of the dry elements that were favored in the extremely arid areas that developed in the Middle Miocene and later times. Newly evolved species are now intermixed with the relatively few surviving plants and animals that were present in the Cretaceous and Paleogene. This mixture, in a geologic context still unsettled in its detail, is what has presented such a conundrum to those who have attempted to understand the mysteries of these arid regions.
Current thinking holds that the areas of California that are now desert were once occupied for the most part by shrublands or woodlands, and that the unique plants and animals that inhabit the desert today are derived from ancestors that were present in the woodlands and closed-canopy vegetation found in the area before the Middle Miocene Period some 15 million years ago. On a global scale, California's deserts would be considered dry scrub: Annual precipitation in them is much higher than in, say, the Sahara, the Atacama or the Namib, and their cover of vegetation is much denser and more durable seasonally. The total biomass and species diversity is also much higher than in those much drier areas. California's deserts are, as Wallace emphasizes, intermixed with woodland and scrub in border areas that receive higher levels of precipitation on certain slopes and exposures.
In a sense, the plants of the California deserts are an extreme expression of the vegetation that has survived increasing drought and seasonality over the past 15 million years. During that time climates became more diverse and drier, and a Mediterranean climate (dry in summer) eventually developed. Continental glaciations that spread from the north resulted in the appearance of cool currents that formed powerful gyres down the West Coast of North America. Westerly winds blowing over this cool water were depleted of moisture and arrived on land as desiccating air. Few species survived from earlier, moister periods, and those animals and plants that could do so underwent rapid evolution. The numerous closely related species found in the region today are the result of that evolution.
The plants and animals that survived were those with adaptations that particularly suited them to life in a dry and seasonal climate—and those that lived in places where there was in fact abundant water, even in a dry land. Water running down grooves in cliffs in desert regions all over the world provides locally wet habitats in dry regions, and unique plants and animals can often be found in them.
Reading the book, we were both reminded of the story of Senator Carl Hayden, the first senator from Arizona, who remarked in his maiden speech in the Senate, "Arizona would be paradise if only it had water"—only to hear a senator in the back of the room call out, "So would Hell, Senator, so would Hell." The relentless "mining" of aquifers in the West is now limiting prospects that present levels of intensive human occupation in these regions will be possible in the future. Explorer John Wesley Powell's predictions about the limited capacities of the western deserts are now coming back to haunt the inhabitants of the sprawling cities that have developed over the years in these regions.
Wallace has interwoven historical, biological, and environmental threads to produce a fascinating account of the interesting theories that have been propounded about the California desert. Readers will come away with a better understanding of the desert's unique nature and of its geological and evolutionary past.

Cooking with Primary School Kids
I regularly cook with my children's (10 yr & 11 yr olds) classes at school. I feel a little like, dare I say it the 'Anti-Jamie Oliver'. Let me explain.... I tend to go in to do special cooking with them that usually involves lots of sugar, fat, colourings & flavourings.
At Easter I do chocolate/marshmallow eggs & marshmallow bunnies. At Christmas we make rocky road Christmas trees and decorate them with royal icing and edible glitter or gingerbread houses decorated with the traditional avalance of sweets and coloured royal icing.
Other than these specific occasions, I go in and make various biscuits, small cakes & muffins because they can be accomplished quickly and are easily distributed to the class.
I am keen to expand my repetoire to incorporate some healthier items that can still be considered fun and worth the effort because they will still capture the kids' imagination. So many of these kids just don't cook, I am feeling a little guilty that I always do unhealthy food at school.
I would appreciate any recipes or suggestions you may have. (Items need to have reasonable lasting qualities as they often have to last up to 2-3 weeks.)

How about making fruit kebabs - have fruit pieces already cut up and getting the kids to thread them on to skewers.
I found a few links to recipe websites using google:

Thanks for the suggestion White Rabbit fruit kebabs is a lovely idea for a snack at school but wouldn't have lasting properties.

Re: Cooking with Primary School Kids
Ah, I hadn't read that last line but why would they need to last? Sugar is a good preserving ingredient as is salt so I don't know if a "healthier" item would last that long. All the cooking I ever did at school was eaten at the time. Do cakes and muffins last that long? I thought 2-3 days was the limit for baked goods.

Re: Cooking with Primary School Kids
White Rabbit, Easter cooking only has to last about a week. Christmas stuff, gingerbread houses and rocky road last about 2 weeks easily which is about the time that there is between school breaking up and Christmas. So the products we make are fine over these time periods. What I help the kids make is sent home beautifully packaged with a calligraphied nametags that provides the kids a gift they can present to their families for sharing. It is not just for cooking and scoffing, it is more like edible art!
As you pointed out salt is a good preserving ingredient but what could I make that would provide a family with a gift? This is the question.
I did cooking at school and I loved taking the result of my labour to share with my family (sometimes to their advantage, sometimes not!). I guess that is also some of the appeal of making these opportunities for the kids.

Preserved lemons are produced with salt and are stored in jars (easier to handle).

Re: Cooking with Primary School Kids
Hi White Rabbit,
Preserved Lemons are a great Idea for adults to enjoy but I can't see them being generally acceptable to fairly anglo-saxon 10/11 yr olds .
You have given me an idea however, perhaps we should preserve some other fruit. Still sugar, probably but better.
I must sound incredibly fussy but there is no point if it is not going to be enjoyed by the kids doing the work. I am still keen to seek your ideas for other possibilities.
I do lots of savoury cooking at home. My background is Chinese/Italian so my children have an extremely varied diet. The kids at school think its really exotic if my kids take sushi in for lunch.

Re: Cooking with Primary School Kids
Hi Shari! Good on you to try out new things, my niece and nephew love when we let them help with the cooking and they are only 4 + 7.
Both of them really like olives and we marrinated them with different oils and spices and even along with some feta cheese cubes. When they are ready to eat they like putting them on cheese cubes with funcy coloured toothpics.
Not sure if other kids like that?
Or how about savoury cookies with cheese and spices sprinkled on top before baking? My mum made them when I was little and I enjoyed helping.

Re: Cooking with Primary School Kids
Hi LadyRed, savoury cookies is a great idea! I have a variety of cutters that could be used to reflect the occassion being celebrated. Cheese is great for the not so adventurous and spices will be good for those ready to try something more interesting.
I am Eurasian so my kids are used to exposure to a varied diet and one of the things they love most as a treat is pickled octopus.. not an option for most of their friends however. Most of their mates have fairly bland palates. No doubt they would enjoy greater exposure to different tastes if it was introduced gradually.
Any chance of your savoury biscuit recipe?

Re: Cooking with Primary School Kids
What about doing some flapjack (oats, golden syrup, brown sugar) you can add raisins,dried apricots or other dried fruit too. It lasts quite a while - well in my house it doesn't cos it gets eaten but it would last in a bag or wrapping.

Reviews for this host's other properties
We had a very nice stay at the apartment. We got the keys when we arrived, and Irene and her colleague were very sweet.
A nice flat near shoping street . The overground is near and you can find everything around .
Location is excelent , the flat is clean and nice . I recomend this property for holiday in London !
The Appartment was as shown on the photos, nice and clean. It's easy to find and surrounded by several good shops, pubs, etc.
Check in and out were easy and without any problems.
The bathroom was pretty small, but there were many towels. The Bed is comfortable, the Sofa is ok for a few days.
Good: The location is great, minutes from two tube stations, Hyde Park, and shops and restaurants for anything you need and is quiet by London standards. The flat is equipped with washer, stove, microwave, and a good kettle and a small television. We also felt secure there and there was lots of hot water. We were met by staff -very friendly and got us some extra pillows and a quilt. What was there was a little skimpy.
Tricky: It is a basement flat and the stairs down are a bit steep. The overall appearance is a little tired but this is mostly cosmetic. It is a basement flat in an older building and it can be a little dank especially in the bathroom (probably similar with every other basement on the block). There is a window the opens to a back courtyard which clears that up fairly quick. The electric top up was tricky as we were told to take the dongle to the post office, Spar store, or news agent to add money. Well none of those worked and we were directed several blocks away to a shop we didn't find. Fortunately we didn't use much electricity so it wasn't a problem.
Do Different: Owners should take a few minutes to do a sheet explaining things for visitors such as exactly where to top up the power, light switches in the entrance hall, and basic instructions for the washer dryer. Add small night light and some clothes hooks in the hall, and bathroom and a few more hangers. Beaching the tiled bathroom and adding a can of air freshener would also go a long way.
We would probably stay again. Next time we will ask for a spare key.
The flat (nr 6) was perfect for a short break in London.We were three People and had enough space as it was bigger than we expected.Underground stations on your doorstep therefore easy to get around the City.In the flat was everything you Need so for London Prices ok.Good restaurants and Pubs also nearby.You must pay extra for the electric(why ???) but i supose thats how it is.
Would i stay here again when visiting London.......YES
The room is exactly as shown in the pictures. Not so big but perfect for three people who just want to visit London.
At our arrival, even if We have called Irene a little bit late, we have found the flat immediately (very close to the Wilsden Green's tube station) and the housekeeper who was nearby gave us the keys, few minutes later Irene sent me a message with the wifi password. Even if we didn't met her in person She was available via text message for any inconvenience (which there weren't any).
If your looking for an easy thing this is it! Very close to the city (about 20 minute from Westminster), clean, the flat has every thing you need for a short stay (except for detergent to clean the dishes, salt, oil, vinegar.. but you can easily find them at sainsbury nearby).
I truly recommend this nice flat for your journey in the beautiful London.
Our host was very nice, and explain everything we need. The studio was clean and we enjoyed our trip in London. I recommand it !

Angry Obama on tax cuts: GOP are "hostage takers," liberals are "sanctimonious"; Update: Pelosi didn't know deal would be announced?
posted at 4:14 pm on December 7, 2010 by Allahpundit
Ace's co-blogger DrewM had the best take on this afternoon's presser turned mini-meltdown: "Man, if Obama is Spock, he's in the middle of the Pon Farr." Two clips for you, the first of him snottily reprising Bob Menendez's terrorist analogy by comparing Republicans to "hostage-takers" on taxes — and then using that to justify his decision to negotiate with them(!). Note to The One: Probably not a good idea for America's top law enforcement officer and military commander-in-chief to broadcast the fact that he'll come to the table only if you play rough enough with him.
The second clip's the one to watch, though. He put his presidency on the line to grant the left its eternal wish of universal health care, and they've rewarded him ever since by … shrieking endlessly about the public option. His bitter annoyance at their perceived ingratitude is palpable, and with good reason: As Philip Klein notes, tax hikes come and tax hikes go but new welfare state entitlements are forever.
Liberals are enraged at Obama for caving into Republicans on the tax rates, but as a conservative, if I had to choose either one, I would have much preferred letting the tax rates expire to creating the massive new health care entitlement. Over the decades, tax rates have gone up and down, but politicians — not even Ronald Reagan — have made a dent in entitlement spending. National health care has long been a dream of liberals, and while they didn't get all the way with this one piece of legislation, it does put us on the road to becoming a European-style welfare state. Its existence also makes it impossible to reform entitlements on market-friendly terms, given that health care is the key factor that's driving up the cost of government.
People have spoke of Obama as the liberal Reagan. Well, if Reagan pursued a strategy of "starving the beast" to force spending cuts down the road, maybe Obama's strategy is "feeding the beast," knowing that if lawmakers don't curb the growth in entitlements, then tax rates will go back up anyway.
I hope The One savored every second of finally getting to unload on them here because he did himself no favors in quelling the revolt among his base. The phone lines are reportedly melting down at the White House from liberals calling in to complain about the deal and even such stalwart allies as top union crony Richard Trumka are issuing angry statements vowing to oppose it. More than a dozen House Democrats have already signed a letter stating that they'll vote no, in fact, raising the question of whether the votes are there to push the deal through. Presumably they are in the House: Paul Ryan says he's happy enough with it and Blue Dogs (especially ones who were swept away last month) should enjoy flipping Pelosi and progressives the bird by voting yes. Are there 18 Democrats willing to vote for cloture in the Senate, though? Manchin, Nelson, Lieberman, Feingold, and Webb voted with the GOP on the show votes this past weekend, so presumably they're in; McCaskill, Tester, Lincoln, Pryor, and Mark Warner are all probably easy pick-ups too. We need eight more Democrats on top of that to make it happen. Maybe lame ducks Dodd and Dorgan? Conrad and Durbin too?
Silver lining here for The One: By alienating both righties and lefties, he's finally fulfilled the promise of post-partisanship from Campaign 2008. Great work, champ! Exit question: Aren't you glad this deal wasn't struck before Election Day? Can you imagine how amazingly the left would have demagogued it as an all-purpose explanation for the GOP landslide in the House? What a comforting lie that would have been, in lieu of the unpleasant truth. Click the images to watch.
Update: An ominous note: Harry Reid says the deal needs more work.
Update: I wonder if this is true or just
Madam Speaker's Minority Leader Pelosi's way of distancing herself from the deal as the left freaks out:
"We have some unease," Pelosi says of Obama plan & admits to being in the dark: "we didn't realize…agreement was going to be announced."
Why would The One push it out there before giving Nancy a heads up?

Hey all,
So deer are heavy and I'd love to get into grouse . Nah, still big game hunting but new to shotgunning. And I'm guessing that I'll need to put a lot of shells through it before I get comfortable and natural. SO, I'll mostly be shooting by myself (well really all by myself, friends keep having babies), and I'm torn between a couple different throwers.
One gets good reviews, especially for one-person use:
Trius one-step
You just step on a paddle to cock and then release. Sounds odd but there are some YouTube vids that make more sense of it once you watch.
Another is a little more heavy-duty and flexible (different throws, with an extra doodad):
Do-all outdoors 3/4 trap
The Do-all would need a creative rigging to allow single-person use, but I enjoy a little tool play if it's not too technical, and can envisage a step- pulley like a bass drum foot pedal.
So anyone use either one of these? Have any thoughts for a shotgunning newbie looking to smash some clays solo?

Robyn: Remixed, Reworked, Reflipped
If you watch Robyn's iheartvideo performance here, you'll notice at the end, she says (as all artists who partake in the web series do) a bit about what she "hearts". Her quip goes, "My name is Robyn. I heart repetition, Rosie Perez and I heart radio." How cute! So in taking a cue from the singer, this post title definitely goes the repetitive route, alliteration, if you will. Also...mega radness. More "r" words...right on!
Keeping in tune with what's new, not only in her killa world, but also in the lives and ears of kids who dig her stuff so much that they want to put their own spin on songs and sayings, we dug for some new hits to get acclimated with.
First up, Far East Movement, the singer's All Hearts Tour-mates, took her song, Don't Fucking Tell Me What to Do from Body Talk Pt 1 and did their signature re-flip stylings on it. The new jam is called Don't Fucking Tell Me What to Drink, and the "I like celery" part is about adorable as you can imagine.
mp3: Far East Movement - Dont Fucking Tell Me What To Drink (Robyn Re-flip)
Next up, I'll let DJ MAJR do the talking. "I love this track in its original form, but I wanted it to be more danceable. I picked up the tempo, laced in a backtrack from an old L.A. Riots remix of Scanners, and then manipulated the track's lows, highs, and mids until my ears were content with it. I beefed up the bass, made the backtrack more bubbly, edited the shit out of it, and then cut up the track until I felt like I and gave it more of a rise and fall than the laced-in base track of Avicii."
mp3: Robyn x Avicii x LA Riots - Hang With Me (DJ MAJR Remix)
Lastly, a 10-minute beaut of a mix from Drop Out. His orchestral fix is smooth and sensual, and keep it locked through the whole play, because it just gets better and better.

Cleansing your skin
Proper cleansing can help skin look its best, but you don't need to go overboard. For most people, washing the face twice a day with mild soap and water is sufficient. Those with oily or dry skin may want to choose a bar soap or liquid cleanser that's formulated for their skin type. Wet your face and work the cleanser into a lather. You can wash with your hands or a soft washcloth, whichever you prefer. Don't rub too hard or use hot water; this can irritate the skin and if you have acne, it can make the condition worse. Rinse your face well with lukewarm water and gently pat dry. When you don't have access to soap and water, consider a pre-moistened cleansing pad as a substitute. Such pads can also be used as toners after a regular wash by those with oily skin. You may need to vary your routine in the winter, when both the air and your skin tend to be drier. Consider switching to a creamy cleanser or moisturizing bar soap, skipping toner, or using a moisturizer. Even if your skin is normally oily, you may need to apply an oil- free lotion during cold weather.

In Merida Rush Soccer Club, we are very proud of each and every one of our players, but this time we feel a special appreciation for the achievements that some of them are getting through Soccer.
This is the case of our Goalkeeper, Yamil Montenegro, of the BU15 who in recent weeks was selected along with other players in the State of Yucatan to participate in a tryout with the Club de Futbol Rayados de Monterrey. We believe in the natural ability of Yamil, but we believe that the passion and love he has for the sport of soccer will make this, a fruitful experience, for his soccer and personal development. We believe that this opportunity is one of many that he will have in life. His dedication and desire will take him far and we are looking forward to seeing him play at a professional level in Mexico very soon.
In Mexico, especially in Merida–Yucatan, there is a lot of young talent. In Merida Rush, we will continue working hard day in and day out to help our kids to achieve their dreams.

A Sweet Retreat in Historic Port Hope
Plantation House Bed & Breakfast • Port Hope, Canada
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Luxury King or Queen Guest Room
- Three-Course Gourmet Breakfast for Two
- Free Parking and Wi-Fi
- Evening Dessert with Coffee and Tea for two
- Early 2 p.m. Check-In
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Two Nights
The Destination
Drive less than an hour from Toronto, up the shores of Lake Ontario and into the town of Port Hope, and you'll encounter a place that time forgot. Recently voted Best Destination in Canada by Reader's Digest, the city is now home to about 16,000 residents. But its particularly slow growth in the late 19th and early 20th centuries resulted in downtown Port Hope retaining its roots. Today, 300-plus structures bear historical significance, more than anywhere else in the country, while the town's location at the confluence of the Ganaraska River and Lake Ontario give outdoor enthusiasts as much to look forward to as their culture-vulture counterparts.
The Digs
Built in 1840, the Plantation House Bed & Breakfast is one of these beautifully preserved structures, featuring a brick facade, original hardwood flooring, and mint-condition period furnishings to match. It's just steps from the downtown historical district, though much of the property has been renovated to provide guests with modern amenities and conveniences—a cozy sun room, for example, and a totally remodeled kitchen.
Guest rooms also retain the rich history of decades past, with armoires and other antique furnishings adorning the space. And in the subway-tile bathroom, you'll find a Jacuzzi tub and Crabtree & Evelyn bath amenities. Breakfast each morning, served in the sun room or on the porch overlooking the gardens, is a three-course gourmet delight, much of it made from local and seasonal ingredients sourced at the farmers' market.
The Diversions
• The Capitol Theatre
• Mercury Chocolates
• Fishing in Port Hope
• 4th Line Theatre in Millbrook
• All-Canadian Jazz Festival
"Port Hope is a great place to get away and its greatest asset is its people. If you're suspicious of the locals' easy smiles, well, don't be. It's just that they really are a happy bunch and truly pleased to meet you."-- Reader's Digest
