University Center fountain sculpture, UTSA Main Campus
Water conservation, restriction plan begins
By Victoria O'Connor
Communications and Customer Relations Representative, Facilities Business Operations
(April 27, 2009)--In support of water conservation and stage one water restrictions, UTSA Office of Facilities Business Operations staff shut down Main Campus fountains April 20 at Sombrilla Plaza, the University Center and the Biosciences Building. Facilities staff will utilize down time to clean and repair the fountains. Cleaning is expected to be completed April 30.

Sigma Pi fraternity members volunteered to help clean the sculptural centerpiece of the University Center fountain in the courtyard adjacent to Starbucks; this is part of the group's Altruistic Campus Experience project. Sigma Pi members also held a luncheon for the maintenance workers. Sigma Pi recently was named most outstanding registered student organization at the University Life Awards.
All Main Campus fountains will remain turned off until the San Antonio Water System (SAWS) has lifted restrictions. According to SAWS, the agency that regulates water usage for the City of San Antonio, stage one water restrictions go into effect when the Edwards Aquifer goes below 660 feet above sea level.
In support of water conservation and environmental stewardship, UTSA implemented these measures:
- UTSA campuses (Main, Downtown and HemisFair Park) will be restricted to watering only on Mondays from noon to 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.-midnight.
- Athletics and sports fields are considered special-use areas and additional watering day variances are requested from SAWS.
- Aesthetic water fountains supplied only by potable water will be turned off. Depending on the water volume required, a fountain may be drained during the duration of the restriction or remain filled with recirculating water used to maintain fountain pumps and equipment.
- Facilities business operations staff members continually monitor automatic irrigation systems for proper operation and installs landscaping that supports water conservation and protects natural resources.
UTSA community members are encouraged to follow water conservation practices and monitor drought information at the SAWS Web site. Further restrictions may occur if the aquifer water level continues to fall.

Story highlights
- Millennials will soon account for half of all business flights
- To cater to this segment, hotel chains are building entirely new brands
- Instagram walls, social media concierges and iPhone keys are newest hotel amenities
- Some think Airbnb although a notable upstart in the market, doesn't threaten traditional hotel chains
Imagine you're a hotel company with a score of brands that seem, well, dated. All the flash amenities of yesteryear seem irrelevant today.
No one is using the minibar, room service is more trouble than it's worth, and all your young travelers gripe that there's no free wi-fi. What do you do? Answer: you build an entirely new product.
Currently, there is a gap in the market for hotel rooms that fill the needs of the globetrotting generation of millennials. That won't be the case for much longer, though, as many of the world's largest hotel chains are gearing up to roll out new hotels aimed exclusively at tomorrow's travelers.
Next year will see the arrival of Moxy (Marriott), Tommie (Commune Hotels) and Radisson Red, plus the expansion of already established hipster brands, like Aloft (Starwood), Andaz (Hyatt), CitizenM and Hotel Indigo (InterContinental Hotels).
"Every big company is looking at the same statistics we're seeing and saying, 'wow, we better do something for our millennial segment if we want to stay relevant,'" says Ramesh Jackson, the vice president and global brand manager for Moxy Hotels.
In order to appeal to a segment of traveler that is swiftly on the rise and soon expected to surpass Baby Boomers in their spending, hotels are having to majorly rethink their strategies and offerings.
Space: Redefined and redesigned
In previous generations, privacy and personal space were key concepts in the hotel industry. As the world gets more social, however, that is decreasingly the case. Today's traveler doesn't want to sit alone at their desk. Rather, what they crave is community spaces.
Radisson Red, for instance, has replaced many of the workplace staples found in more traditional rooms with more collaborative furnishings, like a sofa in place of a one-person armchair.
"Young people rarely sit at a desk and work. They like to work on their bed, or curl up on a chair, and we've had to design a room that facilitates that," says Gordon McKinnon, the chief brand officer for Carlson Rezidor -- the umbrella company for Radisson.
Moxy, meanwhile, has introduced a range of "zones" in their lobby, including a quiet zone -- a Starbucks-style area where groups of people can work independently, though together -- and a video wall where guests can share their photos.
"This segment doesn't want to be confined to one enclosed space, and that's an idea that's been adopted by many brands," explains Nikhil Bhalla, vice president of equity research in lodging at FBR Capital Markets.
Tech is king
When it comes to satisfying the insatiable techie hunger of today's traveler, new hotel brands know that wi-fi alone no longer cuts it.
"If you don't have high-speed, and if it's not free, you can forget about this target audience," says Jackson.
The standard menu of seemingly endless cable channels also doesn't hold the allure it once did.
"They want to bring their own device, watch their own movies, and listen to their own music," notes McKinnon. To address this, Radisson Red is looking at ditching in-room televisions in favor of projectors and quality surround sound.
The product counts
Even in the budget bracket, customers are expressing their desire for high-quality amenities, particularly when it comes to food, gym and bathroom offerings. As a result, the newer brands are rushing to form partnerships with respected brands, both on the global and local scale.
Though considered an economy brand, Moxy is planning on partnering with cosmetics company Rituals for the bathroom amenities, and Tails, an award-winning drinks company that makes pre-mixed cocktails.
"Even for a brand in the economy tier, guests expect products they can recognize, not a watered-down shampoo," explains Jackson.
The Airbnb effect
So what about that elephant in the room? You know, the king of the "sharing economy" -- Airbnb -- that has lured enough next-gen travelers to potentially put its valuation above Hyatt and the InterContinental? Will Millennials really give up their loyalty for Airbnb for the likes of Moxy and Tommie?
Industry experts seem unperturbed.
"Airbnb isn't really that cheap," notes Jackson. "And is someone who is using the Marriott hotel brand, and earning points towards their next stay, do they want to go to Airbnb? I really think they have a bigger effect on service apartments."

About This Condition
Cirrhosis is a condition of severe damage to the liver that impairs its ability to function normally.
In the United States, the most common cause of liver cirrhosis is chronic alcoholism . Liver cirrhosis may also result from chronic viral infection of the liver ( hepatitis types B, C, and D) and a number of inherited diseases, such as cystic fibrosis , hemochromatosis, and Wilson's disease . If severe, liver cirrhosis may lead to liver failure and death. In the Western world, liver cirrhosis is the third leading cause of death in people from ages 45 to 65 (after cardiovascular disease and cancer).1 Liver cirrhosis may also cause a dangerous brain abnormality called portal-systemic encephalopathy (PSE), which may lead to coma. Another form of cirrhosis, primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), damages the bile ducts in the liver, and occurs primarily in women over 35 years of age. The cause of PBC is not known.
Many people with cirrhosis have no symptoms for years. Others may have weakness, loss of appetite, malaise, and weight loss. With blocked bile flow, it is common for people with cirrhosis to have jaundice, itching, and fatty yellow skin nodules. Later in the disease, there may be massive bleeding inside the throat, brain abnormalities due to accumulation of ammonia in the blood, liver failure, and death.
Healthy Lifestyle Tips
Alcoholism is the leading cause of liver cirrhosis in the Western world. Drinking too much alcohol also impairs the absorption and accelerates loss of several nutrients.2 , 3 , 4 Therefore, avoidance of alcohol is strongly recommended for people with liver cirrhosis. Alcohol is directly toxic to the liver. In people with alcohol-induced liver cirrhosis, even moderate alcohol consumption increases the risk of portal hypertension, a dangerous blood pressure abnormality in the liver's circulation.5
Eating Right
The right diet is the key to managing many diseases and to improving general quality of life. For this condition, scientific research has found benefit in the following healthy eating tips.
|Get enough protein, but not too much
Getting adequate protein is essential, but because of the danger of ammonia toxicity, a doctor should closely supervise any changes in protein intake.
Adequate protein intake is essential for people with alcoholic liver cirrhosis, because this condition often results in significant protein, as well as calorie, deficiency.6 However, people with liver cirrhosis may be unable to tolerate normal amounts of dietary protein because the cirrhotic liver is less able to detoxify ammonia, a major product of protein digestion. Ammonia toxicity contributes to PSE. The amount of protein that can be tolerated by people with cirrhosis varies considerably.7 In these people, there is only a small margin of safety when treating protein deficiency. Extreme caution must be exercised when changing their protein intake. A doctor familiar with this disease should closely supervise any changes in dietary protein intake by people with cirrhosis.
|Watch the copper
Some people with cirrhosis may have an excess of copper in the liver. If this is the case, avoid foods rich in copper, such as chocolate, shellfish, and liver.
Some people with cirrhosis and impaired bile flow (such as in Wilson's disease or PBC) may have an excess amount of copper accumulate in the liver.8 , 9 If laboratory tests confirm copper excess, most doctors would recommend avoiding foods rich in copper (such as chocolate, shellfish, and liver) along with medical treatment to reduce copper stores.10
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by some in the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
3 Stars Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
2 Stars Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
1 Star For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
3 Stars
1,200 mg daily
Taking SAMe may improve liver function, bile flow, and survival.
Large amounts of SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine) may improve survival and liver function in alcoholic liver cirrhosis. A double-blind trial found that 1,200 mg of SAMe per day for two years significantly decreased the overall death rate and the need for liver transplantation in people with alcoholic liver cirrhosis, particularly in those with less advanced liver disease.11 Preliminary trials suggest that lower amounts of SAMe (180 mg per day in one trial12 and 800 mg per day in another13) may improve liver function in people with liver cirrhosis. SAMe supplementation has been shown to reverse the depletion of glutathione , an important antioxidant required for liver function.14It has also been shown to aid in the resolution of blocked bile flow (cholestasis), a common complication of liver cirrhosis.15 , 16
2 Stars
2 grams twice a day for 3 months
A double-blind trial suggests that supplementing with acety-l-carnitine may improve mental and neurological function in people whose cirrhosis has impaired function.
In double-blind trials, supplementing with acety-L-carnitine (2 grams twice a day for three months) improved fatigue and various measures of mental and neurological function in people with impaired function (minimal hepatic encephalopathy) due to cirrhosis.17 , 18
2 Stars
Beta-Glucan, Inulin, Pectin, and Resistant Starch
10 grams total fermentable fiber daily
In a study of people with cirrhosis, supplementing with fermentable fiber (containing equal parts of beta-glucan, inulin, pectin, and resistant starch) improved liver and brain function.
In a study of people with cirrhosis, supplementing with 10 grams of fermentable fiber per day (containing equal parts of beta-glucan, inulin, pectin, and resistant starch) for 30 days resulted in an improvement in liver function.19 The impaired brain function that often accompanies cirrhosis of the liver (hepatic encephalopathy) also improved.
2 Stars
Branched-Chain Amino Acids
At least 5 grams daily, up to 0.24 grams per 2.2 lbs (1 kg) body weight per day
Under a doctor's supervision, supplementing with branched-chain amino acids may correct an imbalance of amino acids and improve cirrhosis symptoms.
In addition to protein deficiency, liver cirrhosis is characterized by low blood levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in relation to other amino acids .20 This imbalance may contribute to the development of PSE.21 BCAA supplementation could be a way to correct this problem, as well as to provide a source of needed protein, but its effectiveness is unclear.22 BCAAs (isoleucine, leucine, and valine) represent a good protein source for people with cirrhosis because they are less likely to induce PSE. A controlled study of protein-intolerant people with cirrhosis showed that BCAA supplementation corrected abnormal protein metabolism about as well as an equivalent amount of dietary protein without inducing PSE as frequently.23 In a small double-blind trial, people with liver cirrhosis taking 5 grams per day of BCAAs had significant improvement in their ability to process protein.24
However, treatment trials using BCAAs alone or in solutions containing other amino acids in people with cirrhosis and PSE have reported conflicting results.25 , 26 , 27 , 28 It may be that certain people with liver cirrhosis can benefit from supplementation with BCAAs while others cannot, for reasons that are unclear.29 In a double-blind trial, people with liver cirrhosis and PSE received 0.24 grams per 2.2 pounds body weight (approximately 16-17 grams per day) of BCAAs for 15 days, after which most experienced significant improvement in brain function, mental status, and protein metabolism. Those who continued taking BCAAs for three months also had mild improvement in liver function tests.30
Therapeutic effects of oral BCAAs have also been shown in children with liver failure31 and in adults with cirrhosis of the liver without PSE.32 Overall, it appears that BCAA supplementation does not always help in cirrhosis, but some people with and without PSE may benefit. A qualified doctor must closely supervise such BCAA supplementation.
2 Stars
18 grams daily of L-ornithine-L-aspartate
As both a supplement and injection, L-ornithine-L-aspartate has been shown to significantly improve liver function, mental status, and brain function.
L-ornithine-L-aspartate (OA) is a nutritional supplement that has been investigated as a treatment for cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy. In a double-blind trial, participants taking 18 grams of OA for 14 days had significant improvements in liver function, mental status, and brain function.33 Similar benefits have also been demonstrated using injections of OA.34 , 35
2 Stars
Milk Thistle
420 mg of silymarin daily
Supplementing with milk thistle may protect liver cells and improve function.
An extract of milk thistle (Silybum marianum) that is high in a flavonoid compound known as silymarin may improve liver function and increase survival in people with cirrhosis. Clinical trials have shown that silymarin (420-600 mg per day) improves liver function tests and protects liver cells against oxidative damage in people with alcohol-related liver disease.36 , 37 , 38 , 39 However, evidence is conflicting regarding the ability of silymarin to prolong survival of people with liver cirrhosis. In one double-blind trial, a significant increase in survival was found in people with cirrhosis who were given 140 mg of silymarin three times a day for approximately two years.40 Positive results were also found in a 12-month controlled study of adults with diabetes and alcoholic liver cirrhosis taking the same daily amount of silymarin.41 However, another double-blind trial found that 150 mg of silymarin three times a day for two years had no significant effect on survival among alcoholics with liver cirrhosis.42
For people with chronic liver disease, milk thistle extract may be taken long-term. Milk thistle extracts containing 80% silymarin are commercially available and may be taken in amounts that deliver 420 mg of silymarin per day.
2 Stars
Under medical supervision: take the Chinese herbal formula shakuyaku-kanzo-to
One trial showed that the Chinese formula shakuyaku-kanzo-to (containing white peony and licorice roots) relieved muscle cramps due to liver cirrhosis.
One double-blind trial showed that the Chinese formula shakuyaku-kanzo-to (containing white peony and licorice roots) effectively relieved muscle cramps due to cirrhosis of the liver.43 This formula is approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare for cirrhosis-induced muscle cramps.
2 Stars
Phosphatidyl Choline
900 mg phosphatidyl choline per day
Phosphatidylcholine breaks down scar tissue in the liver and may be able to reverse tissue changes that cause cirrhosis.
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) breaks down scar tissue in the liver and may be able to reverse tissue changes that cause cirrhosis.44 In animal studies, PC has been repeatedly shown to prevent or reverse the progression of alcohol-induced cirrhosis,45 , 46 , 47 but this has not yet been demonstrated in humans. In a controlled trial, Czech researchers found that PC supplementation (900 mg per day for four months) improved liver function in people with cirrhosis.48
2 Stars
Refer to label instructions
A probiotic preparation called VSL#3, which contains 8 different strains of beneficial bacteria, has been shown to improve the impaired mental and neurological function that is commonly seen in people with cirrhosis.
A probiotic preparation called VSL#3, which contains 8 different strains of beneficial bacteria, has been shown to improve the impaired mental and neurological function (minimal hepatic encephalopathy) that is commonly seen in people with cirrhosis.49. It is not known whether other probiotic products would also be effective. Because people with severe illnesses such as cirrhosis could theoretically be harmed by supplementing with live bacteria, people with cirrhosis should only take probiotics under medical supervision.
2 Stars
Sea Buckthorn
15 grams three times daily of sea buckthorn extract
Preliminary research suggests that sea buckthorn may improve indicators of liver damage.
Sea buckthorn has been shown to protect the liver from damage in animal studies,50 and to reduce blood indicators of liver damage in preliminary human studies.51. In a controlled trial,52 80% of people with cirrhosis who took 15 grams three times daily of sea buckthorn extract (potency or standardization not stated) had blood indicators of liver damage return to normal within six months, compared to 56% of a group taking a B-complex vitamin.
2 Stars
Sho-Saiko-To (Bupleurum, Peony, Pinellia, Cassia, Ginger, Jujube, Asian Ginseng, Asian Scullcap, and Licorice)
2.5 grams of the Chinese herbal formula sho-saiko-to three times daily
The Chinese herb bupleurum is a component of the formula sho-saiko-to, which was shown in one preliminary trial to liver cancer risk in people with liver cirrhosis.
The Chinese herb bupleurum is an important component of the formula known as sho-saiko-to. Sho-saiko-to was shown in one preliminary trial to reduce the risk of liver cancer in people with liver cirrhosis.53 The amount of this formula used was 2.5 grams three times daily.
2 Stars
Take under medical supervision: 135 to 215 mg daily
Supplementing with zinc may correct the deficiency common in alcoholic liver cirrhosis and may correct the impaired taste function that people with cirrhosis often experience.
Alcoholic liver cirrhosis is associated with zinc deficiency.54 , 55 In a double-blind trial, zinc acetate supplementation (200 mg three times daily, providing a total of 215 mg of elemental zinc per day), given to cirrhosis patients for seven days, significantly improved portal-systemic encephalopathy (PSE).56 A second trial achieved similar results after three months of treatment 57 and a third trial found a beneficial effect from 6 months of treatment with 51 mg per day of zinc in the form of zinc L-carnosine complex.58 People with cirrhosis sometimes have impaired taste function, and it has been suggested that zinc deficiency may be the cause of this abnormality. Although one study demonstrated that taste problems in cirrhosis are due to the disease process itself and not to zinc deficiency,59 a double-blind trial showed that 200 mg three times per day of zinc sulfate (providing 135 mg of elemental zinc per day) for six weeks significantly improved taste function in people with alcoholic liver cirrhosis.60 A doctor should supervise long-term supplementation of zinc in these amounts.
1 Star
Bile Acids (Primary Biliary Cirrhosis)
Refer to label instructions
People with cirrhosis have decreased secretion of bile acids. Supplementing with bile acids may improve bile composition and delay disease progression in primary biliary cirrhosis.
People with cirrhosis have decreased secretion of bile acids.61 Supplementation with bile acids (such as ursodeoxycholic acid and tauroursodeoxycholic acid) may improve the composition of bile and delay disease progression in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). In one trial, people with PBC were followed for five to nine years. Those who took 13-15 mg per 2.2 pounds body weight of ursodeoxycholic acid (about 900-1200 mg) per day had improved liver function tests and significantly delayed progression to cirrhosis.62 Several other trials have confirmed that bile acids improve liver function in people with PBC.63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 Commercial supplements of bile acids are available as ox bile concentrates. However, these ox bile preparations contain other types of bile acids than those used in PBC research. The effectiveness and appropriate amount of ox bile concentrates in the treatment of PBC is unknown.
1 Star
Refer to label instructions
L-carnitine injections have been used to improve circulation to the liver in people with cirrhosis.
L-carnitine injections have been used to improve circulation to the liver in people with cirrhosis,68 but trials of the oral supplement are lacking.
1 Star
Refer to label instructions
People with liver cirrhosis often have low selenium levels and a greater need for antioxidants. In one study, selenium improved liver function in people with alcoholic cirrhosis.
Selenium levels have been found to be low in people with liver cirrhosis69 and the need for antioxidants has been found to be increased.70 A small, preliminary trial suggested that 100 mcg per day of selenium may improve liver function in people with alcoholic cirrhosis.71 Larger, double-blind trials of selenium in people with liver cirrhosis are needed.
1 Star
Vitamin E
Refer to label instructions
Vitamin E has been shown to decrease damage in cirrhotic livers and may reduce immune abnormalities that contribute to the development of the disease.
Vitamin E has been shown to decrease damage in cirrhotic livers and may reduce immune abnormalities that contribute to the development of the disease.72 However, a study reported that supplementation of 500 IU per day of vitamin E for one year failed to influence laboratory tests, liver function, survival or hospitalization rates in people with alcoholic cirrhosis.73 Further clinical trials are needed to determine if any benefits may be expected from vitamin E supplementation in people with liver cirrhosis.

This is a much better scan! Thank you!As before, I'm pleased to see you going much darker in the second row of boxes, but (I'm referring to the 4B and 2B in particular) you could go darker still. Your shading is pleasingly solid, but it lacks the strength required to make the most of maximum contrast in a drawing.The 4B and 2B in particular need to be as black as you can make them, because the greater the difference between your darkest tone and lightest (the white of your paper), the greater will be the range of tones available to you in your drawing. And good solid blacks will add impact to your drawings and help with three-dimensional rendering. I always download and adjust scans before critiquing, so below is what I was looking at.

Accommodation summary
|Mulberry Street, 10013 New York, 美国
除此之外,我们希望您能尽情享受! :-)
|Weekly rate for up to 2 guests
|Check-in before
Very clean apartment at a great location real close to Downtown Manhattan, We stayed in Room nr 2 for a week as family with 1 kid. During the week the other 3 rooms in apartment were almost all occupied, which makes it a bit busy for the shower. But due to the fact we had nice people around us, it was all fine.
Rooms are not that big but good enough. Couple of tips for John/Lucy: Mirrors in the rooms, makes it easier to clear the bathroom quicker. And the bathroom can use some new equipment, as the others are oxidated.
I fyou're looking for a shabby room in a noisy area , with a shared bathroom with eleven other people (good luck cleaning your teeth in the morning after a stranger has just been in the bathroom!), andif your lucky, no windows in your bedroom, then this is the place for you. The air conditioning is really noisy, so keepsyou awake, and if its not that, then it will be the loud music from next door. If thats what you're looking for, you.ll love this place. The lift ourside has a unique odor to it too, so really welcoming. And don't be confused, the white clean bedsheets on the website, may not be there to make the rooms look bigger, but i promise, it's the same room you booked. If you're not hapy with it make sure you use the wholeof your first day trying to resolve the situation, because if you don't, the proprietor, or Wimbdu, wont helpyou. You may have to move location completely. Happy holiday!
The apartment is pefectly located in the heart of little Italy. The room is very spacious and clean. We had a great stay! Thank you John!
The apartment is comfortable and cozy, even when all the rooms are full there's no any problem with the use of the bathroom and kitchen. Apartment was cleaned everyday, all the peoples in the apartments follow the rules, that's make easier and convenient the stay. The location is awesome, there is a bunch of great restaurants nearby and there are 3 different train routes available just 3 blocks of distances. there's also a bunch of places nearby to buy NY city souvenirs, ATM's in every corner and the neighborhood is very safe. John is very kind and always try to help you with your stay. Definitely I would stay again for the next visits to NY, 100% recommended.
John is a very accommodating host. It is difficult toilet him, understandably, as he is like other New Yorkers, a very busy man.
However, he has a system in place that works. I stayed in this flat for 10 days while looking for jobs, and had many neighbours coming and going without any problems.
The location is a 10/10. Cleanliness 9/10 decor 8/10.. Overall a great bargain for your money.
3 problems I had:
1- Never send mail, wish I knew, but it's really difficult to retrieve mail.
2- Too many people using the shower in the morning. Wake up early. (4-8 ppl)
3-Maintanance needed to be done on the bathroom, but john changed the date for that till after check out.
Overall, I'd stay there again, it was a good experience.
It was wa bit difficult to arrive inside the apartment, maybe they should change the method... but once inside everithing was good, the apartmend and our room were clean! all rooms were occupied, but it was no problem with the bathroom.
The location in Little Italy is perfect, there are a few subway stations within walking distance.
I thought to meet john but the only contact was by mail or phone. :-)
We did not get a warm welcome! We called upon arrival, voicemail no calling back. After trying again we were given instructions to got to building and enter the appartment with a code. All communication with Lucy was by mail or text message. All other guest we met, got the same 'warm welcome'. We found that rather unpolite.
The room was nice and clean. We had to share kitchen, living room and bathroom with 3 other rooms. That was a bit of a ajustment but it was all well cleanend every other day by a nice lady. The location in Little Italy was perfect! Nice restaurants, shops and near great sights.
We would recommend the appartment but suggest to Lucy and John to be more hospitable.
Nice place, clean and located in the Little Italy, we have been there for 5 days with any problem at all. Lucy was so pleased with us. I recommend it!
Appartement très bien situé dans Manhattan, Entre Little Italy et Chinatown. Du fait de sa localisation, le quartier est animé donc bruyant.
Nous avions pris la chambre pour 4 à deux, du coup espace et fenêtres. Apparemment, nos " roomies" qui avaient des chambres pour 2 étaient déçus car aucune fenêtre. Si vous passez du temps dans l'appartement, vous vous sentirez à l'étroit sinon l'appartement vous conviendra.
Le seul bémol pour nous a été la salle de bain et les toilettes partagés. Il faut savoir patienter même quand vous avez une urgence !
Die Unterkunft ist sehr gut gelegen und sauber. Wir hatten das Zimmer mit den zwei Betten und den Fenstern zur Straße. Das Apartment ist in little Italy gelegen und somit ist auf der Straße bis ca 23Uhr betrieb. Den Lärm hört man deutlich. Hat uns nicht gestört, weil wir eh nicht vor elf schlafen waren. Ich kann die Wohnung jedem ans Herz legen der in Manhattan eine günstige und gut gelegene Unterkunft sucht und aber auch bereit ist ein zwei Kompromisse ein zu gehen.

Does anybody from Oklahoma use this board? im in central OK se of OKC. What and when is the honey flows around here? is there any associations or clubs here? any info about this region would be great.
Does anybody from Oklahoma use this board? im in central OK se of OKC. What and when is the honey flows around here? is there any associations or clubs here? any info about this region would be great.
Welcome aboard! I live in Sapulpa (just West of Tulsa). I have been keeping bee for about two years, so I may not have as much wisdom to offer. This board is a great place to ask question even newbie questions. I'm also a member of NEOBA North Eastern OK Beekeepers Association. They meet in Tulsa. I have not heard of any clubs out your way. Here is the link to NEoBA's website our president would probably be able to tell you more about your part of the state. I'm sure your flows are going to be different than mine.(yes to you outside of OK things are greatly different from one side of the state to the other) Your local County Extension office will be able to tell you the bloom times of your flora. Have you been getting all of this rain?
I used to live in OKC and Guthrie. Two of my sons were born there. My dad grew up in Fairview and my Grandpa lived there until he died. My uncle and two of my cousins still live in Midwest city. My Beekeeping mentor from Oklahoma was in his eighties back in the 1970's. I doubt that he's still around. I'm afraind I didn't know anyone else who kept bees there and I didn't know enough to amount to anything when I was there. The differnece between the climate in the western panhandle and the southeastern corner is pretty dramatic. Good luck.
I don't live in Ok, but was born there and still have most of my relatives there. It's a beautiful state. I'm linking a website that I think is one I found about a year ago. If you have any trouble going to the site, let me know. I may have linked it incorrectly http://pearl.agcomm.okstate.edu/insects/crop/f-7155.pdf
I live about 30 miles south of the OK/TX line in the far west .

[Article]-Frosty the Snow Crash - Answers & Winners
Congrats to the winners!!
Permanent link: [Article]-Frosty the Snow Crash - Answers & Winners
Permanent link: [Article]-Frosty the Snow Crash - Answers & Winners
We Have Winners!!
At long last, I've scoured through the amazing entries you guys sent for the Frosty the Snow Crash challenge... just in time for your snowmen to melt on a fine Spring day. I apologize for the delay, but I had to finish writing my new 6-day SANS course and work with Matt Carpenter to write the new "It Happened One Friday" challenge, which has consumed me for 80+ hours per week over the past several months. But, now it's time to announce our winners for the Frosty the Snow Crash challenge. The competition was fierce, as many of you submitted brilliant work. I was dazzled with your technical prowess and delighted with your creativity.
Please remember that judging was very difficult. I spent between ten and ninety minutes reading each response and carefully divining the best of the best. Besides the actual winning entries, those that received honorable mention are quite brilliant, and deserve kudos. Don't be disappointed if you got an honorable mention but didn't win. An honorable mention in a contest like this is a major accomplishment, given the really high quality of the many entries we received.
Remember Challenge Fans, as always, we'll award three prizes: One for the best technical answer, one for the most creative answer that is technically correct, and one awarded to a winner chosen randomly. This month's prize is my book, Malware: Fighting Malicious Code, which I authored with Lenny Zeltser.--Ed Skoudis, Intelguardians

Specialty Ovenware
Having the basic essentials in any kitchen is a must, from cooking the smallest dinners for you and your family to entertaining a large crowd. Every kitchen is typically stocked with cookware such as frying pans, Dutch ovens and roasters. However, adding specialty cookware to your kitchen set opens up a new world of cooking, allowing you to create different and interesting items that your friends and family will love. Everything from a mussel pot to a fish poacher allows you to take your cooking to the next level.
Make delicious paella with a nonstick pan made specifically for paella. Designed by Staub, this pan has a shallow, unique shape for the fast evaporation of liquid and for making perfect paella. After you've cooked the meal, the pan also doubles as a serving platter, allowing you to go from stove to table in seconds. Those who prefer recipes with large filets or like to cook a whole fish must have a fish plate designed for the oven. Opt for a rust-resistant cast-iron fish plate that provides the best in heat conductivity. Aesthetically pleasing and durable, this fish plate can go from stove to table easily, doubling as a serving plate for guests. For an alternative to baking fish, decide on a copper fish poacher with a rack and included lid. A healthy, interesting way to cook fish, you can poach easily in this deep pan constructed of 2-mm copper. A tin-lined interior makes this pan easy to clean. Stainless-steel fish poachers are also available from Williams-Sonoma, should you prefer stainless-steel rather than copper. Add to your seafood feast with a mussel pot. Just like mussel appetizers you've ordered in restaurants through the years, add your own delectable wine sauce to this cast-iron mussel pot for an exceptional meal at home.
When you are serving a large party, such as for the holidays, a chafing dish is a must to help keep foods warm. Let guests serve themselves buffet-style while foods are kept hot for hours. A durable stainless-steel construction adds to durability while a "stay-cool" handle provides safety to your guests.
Make specialty corn bread with a cast-iron cornstick pan. This unique pan allows you to make cornbread in the shape of ears of corn, and it is a perfect fall or autumn treat. Its smooth finish guards against rust and makes this pan easy to clean. This cornstick pan is ideal for both oven and grill use and is compatible with any cooktop, including induction cooking.

Anyone want to visit the zoo today?
Missing Cobra
Where's someone who speaks parseltongue when you need them?
Yeah, those creatures can be a pain in the asp.
Just when you need an heir of Slytherin, there are none to be had. Typical Slytherin.
I'm cancelling my trip to the Bronx...
Eeek! Lucky it's cold outside, if it did get out it wouldn't get far...
I guess this puts the Bronx up there with the Everglades for snake phobia. I understand south Florida has a rash of boas or pythons-like hundreds of thousands. Makes an alligator look like a pet.
People are funny:
This is awesome!
I have visions of the cobra finding refuge up under the hood of a car near the engine, very much like cats like to do. Sauteed snake anyone? And in the great tradition of flight of ideas, would Tony Bourdain eat it? (Anyone see that episode of A Cook's Tour where he had the 5 course cobra meal?)
Too funny!
My best friend's husband actually works at the Bronx Zoo. He's an accountant and his building is nowhere near the reptile house. However, he is terrified of snakes. He has been wearing rubber boots to work ever since the cobra escaped.
125,000+ are now following "the cobra's" escapades. I'm sure that at some point, the person who thought to do this will reveal themselves. If they are unemployed or are looking for a new line of work, this should help them immensely!
that they present the locked door as a way to calm people. I know if I were a snake escaping the first place I'd go is through the front door.
More funny people:
No. There was a short TV series on this last year. The survey, or whatever you want to call it, that was the feature of this show states that the population of these snakes, and the area that they have spread over, is overestimated by a huge amount. There may be a couple thousand pythons roaming the glades. Or not. The number that escaped from the warehouse that was destroyed during Hurricane Andrew are in the hundreds. They, and their progeny, are causing most of the problems. Many, especially the largest ones, died from the cold in the frigid winter we had last year.
This is not to say they are not there. They are. Mostly in the southernmost part of the state. As are some "pet" snakes that idiots have released because they can't take care of them. But the threat is much less than thought at first.
The end. Allegedly.
So glad thissssssssss has come to an end. I've been positively rattled by all this venomous snake talk....
I'm bummed. I was loving the tweets.
I'm sure your friend will be happy to take his boots off!!!
Yea!! Snakey is home!!!
Going to miss the tweets too but I'm glad the snake is home safe.
Rex, are you behind the cobra tweets?
Nah, I'm too busy using other peoples' towels .
Maybe the snake can continue to tweet from her solitary confinement. Although, it's really good she was found. NYC is not a good habitat for a reptile that doesn't have a hibernation den. If she'd managed to get out of the reptile house, she'd have died next winter.
I have to admit I've always despised snakes and been utterly terrified of them, but this snake (tweets or no tweets) has really hit a soft spot with me. Ironic because she would kill me in the blink of an eye, but it's the first time I've ever felt anything other than revulsion and terror for a snake. Hope she's okay.
The tweets are back!

I bought this for my brother for a present, he loves it and it looks really clean and high quality. The only thing to keep in mind- it fits very very snug, he has a 13 inch macbook pro (4 years old) and the case is definitely for the newer, thinner computers. I actually ended up getting him the 15 inch case so his computer would fit more easily. Overall great product&great quality5

Cocoa Touches Our Hearts
Last month we traveled to Ghana, the second largest cocoa producer in the world. Starbucks is a member of the World Cocoa Foundation, an organization that promotes a sustainable cocoa economy by providing cocoa farmers with the tools they need to grow more and better cocoa, market it successfully, and earn greater profits.
On the first day of our trip, we visited a cocoa community located about four hours east of Accra, the country's capital. This community has benefited from training and technical assistance provided by the Cocoa Livelihoods Program, a joint effort between the cocoa industry (including Starbucks) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to support about 200,000 farmers in five West and Central African countries.
The farmers in this community share essential resources like water wells, education, cocoa drying tables and a warehouse to store the beans before delivery. Gathering crops from many farmers allows the community to reach scale and gain efficiencies.
We were introduced to the chief, elders and other community members during a ceremony in which we expressed our gratitude for welcoming us and for showing us the community's cocoa farming practices. They were very eager to share and learn and to become better farmers.
Women play a prominent role in this community. Not only do they participate in all cocoa farming activities, but they are also teachers, farm owners, mothers, cooks, and administrators. Under a matriarchal system, the land is owned by women and is passed down to women in future generations.
In too many of our own communities, despite abundant resources and education, we find it difficult and complex to collaborate. For this community in Ghana, collaboration is spontaneous and natural. Everyone approaches tasks with contagious smiles, and everything is accomplished in ways that are highly efficient, simple and coordinated. This is a lesson that we all should learn. We hope cocoa warms your heart this holiday season, like it touches ours all year round. As you sip your favorite mocha beverage or enjoy our Holiday Cocoa Trio, take a moment to reflect upon the people behind the cocoa.

Help us compile dairy producers' thoughts by taking our short sustainability survey. See the link at the bottom of this article.
by Jim Paulson. The author is a dairy extension educator, University of Minnesota.
With the world population recently passing the 7 billion mark, many questions have been asked concerning the ability of our planet to feed this growing population. It is predicted that, in the next 40 years, 2 billion more people will be eating on Earth. Can the U.S. and global agriculture produce enough food to feed the people of the world? Will we count on technology to achieve this? Will we have to sacrifice the environment? Or can we?
Sustainability comes from the Latin word sustinere (tenere, to hold; sus, up). Sustainability tends to value diversity in order to spread risk of failure and add chances of success. That is why we had diversified farms in the past. Survivability depended on it. On individual farms, this may have been crucial to survivability and, thus, sustainability. Economic sustainability is the most critical aspect of any business. But to a food supply it is the bigger picture that is most important; no matter where in the world it comes from. The picture of larger farms that are more labor and equipment efficient clashes with ideas of what a farm should look like.
What should a family farm look like?
Does it matter? This brings up the social leg of the sustainability stool. The shrinking rural population has forever changed towns, schools and churches. Rural sociologists ask if this is good for your country. Does it matter if we can feed the world?
Is feeding the world the highest priority of agriculture and rural America? Is there an allowable environmental cost? Is there an allowable social cost? These questions and many more are being debated in many circles. Whose role is it to decide the answers?
The following questions are created to help you formulate a thought process on the issue of sustainability and your farm operation.

This early work by Jerome K. Jerome was originally published in 1898 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow' is a collection of humorous essays with a philosophical tone about the value of things and the decisions we make. Jerome Klapka Jerome was born in Walsall, England in 1859. Both his parents died while he was in his early teens, and he was forced to quit school to support himself. In 1889, Jerome published his most successful and best-remembered work, 'Three Men in a Boat'. Featuring himself and two of his friends encountering humorous situations while floating down the Thames in a small boat, the book was an instant success, and has never been out of print. In fact, its popularity was such that the number of registered Thames boats went up fifty percent in the year following its publication.

Doing Napa Like a Native
Chablis Inn • Napa, CA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Standard Room, Sundays through Thursdays ($89) or Fridays or Saturdays ($104)
- Wine Tasting for Two at Silenus Vintners
- One Bottle of Wine from Solovino
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Two Nights
Experience Wine Country like a local with this week's Escape to the Chablis Inn, set in the thick of Napa Valley just minutes from downtown Napa, St. Helena, and Yountville.
Leave the tour buses behind, and drop into this 34-room property for one night in a Standard Room, Sundays through Thursdays ($89) or Fridays or Saturdays ($104). Rooms are equipped with a king- or queen-size bed, complimentary Wi-Fi, a wet bar, and premium cable TV.
Guests on TripAdvisor relish the Inn's sweet simplicity, calling it the "perfect little place to spend your time in Napa Valley." The staff elicits a lot of love too, with guests commending their "wealth of knowledge," saying "the best part of our stay was the service provided by the Inn's concierge."
Locals don't pay—and they certainly don't wait—to taste wine in the Valley. Make like a Napan with a wine tasting at Silenus Vintners, which includes a flight of three wines for each guest. And because this tasting room stocks bottles from several different wineries, you'll be able to sample a variety of boutique Napa vintages. Ask the staff at Chablis to coordinate an appointment.
Feeling fancy? Treat yourselves to dinner at the highly acclaimed French Laundry (though be warned: It might be the off-season, but acquiring reservations here is still a feat of perseverance and should be done at least two months in advance).
Otherwise, Yountville and St. Helena are gastronomical havens unto themselves. Allow Chablis to set you up with prime reservations at one of the Valley's many celebrated restaurants. Our suggestion? Celebrity Chef Michael Chiarello's Bottega, in Yountville, serves classic Italian dishes with a fresh, local twist.
Or, in St. Helena, reserve a table at Farmstead, where Chef Stephen Barber marries his Southern roots with the farm-to-table approach that's become a staple of Wine Country restaurants.
And lest you think your epicurean Escape was but a dream, you'll leave with a bottle of wine from Solovino. And when friends back home ask where you got it, just tell them you know a little place in Napa.
"[Napa and Sonoma's] vine-covered hillsides—lush green in spring and summer, golden in fall—are reminiscent of Tuscany, and home to nearly 400 wineries (producing mostly Chardonnay, Pinot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot varietals)."-- Travel + Leisure

Search for missing girl with ties to Pine River ends tragically
The body of Kathlynn Shepard, 15, who had been abducted in Iowa, was found in the Des Moines River by a fisherman on Friday, June 7. Dr. Julia Goodin, Iowa chief state medical examiner, confirmed that
the body was that of Shepard. Shepard and a 12-year-old friend were allegedly abducted by convicted sex offender Michael Klunder, who committed suicide following the other girl's escape.
Shepard's parents, Mike and Denise Shepard, were graduates of Pine River High School. They currently live in Dayton, Iowa. They still have family in the area.
Since the abduction, family and friends have been campaigning to raise awareness of sex offender laws that they say are not strict enough. They plan to continue with an effort to make prison sentences mandatory for sex offenders.
Klunder was sentenced to up to 41 years in prison for kidnapping and assault charges in 1992, but was released in early 2011, only 19 years into his sentence. Klunder would not have been capable of abducting the two girls if he had completed his prison sentence.
Klunder is also being investigated in the kidnapping and murder of Lyric Cook, 10, and Elizabeth Collins, 8, less than 90 miles from Dayton.
To support Shepard's family, search "Kathlynn's Hope" on Facebook or visit youcaring.com/shepard.

I Wish all flats would be like this one
and every owner would be like Salvatore.:)
Charming apartment, great design, you feel like being home.
Everything you can imagine is there, all the facilities.
The location is great, you have old town with all
Beautiful streets and restaurants all over,
You have a flower market and fruits just in front of the house,
Beach is 5 minute walk.
The best flat I have ever had.
Salvatore is so polite and helpful, answers all the questions
Within minutes.
The only bad thing you have to leave for home.
Thank you so much, Salvatore
Great apartment with the best view of the ocean and a friendly staff welcoming their guests. The only downside was that they don't have a system to take care of guests luggage after checkout time at 10am. If your flight is later but still want to have a relaxed day before the flight, you must find lockers for a fee in the city or the airport (14 euros per bag in Terminal 2 or 1 euro per hour in the city). It should be included for the money spent. Other than that, great place.
Thrilled with these past three days in Nice: we appreciated the quality of this apartment, bright, quiet, immaculate sharpness, and offers free Wi-Fi and air conditioning; the sea and the bus stop nearby, and many shops at the foot of the building, and parking in a congested city where parking is complicated, it is appreciated!
Enchantés de ces 3 jours passés à Nice : nous avons apprécié la qualité de cet appartement, clair, calme, d'une netteté impeccable, et doté de la Wi-Fi et air conditionné ; la mer et l'arrêt de bus à deux pas, et de nombreux commerces au pied de l'immeuble, ainsi qu'un parking dans une ville engorgée où le stationnement est compliqué, c'est appréciable !
The location was perfect, the apartment was clean, modern and excellently located. There are many restaurants in the area and the beach is just 2 minutes away from the apartment.
Unfortunately the apartment wasn't prepared (even though he asked me how many people I would travel with) - the bedding had to be done by us, which was quite annoying because that way we couldn't lay down, we were too exhausted from our trip to Nice. There is NO Air Condition, even though it was listed in the facilities-list. It tends to get really hot during the day, but at night it's quite okay if you leave the windows open and the fans running all the night.
Nice place for a family witht 4 people
Everything worked out perfectly. Salvatore was immediately after we arrived to show us as the really great apartment and hand over the keys. It was rundrum a perfect holiday.
Es hat alles perfekt geklappt. Salvatore war sofort da nach dem wir eingetroffen sind um uns die wirklich tolle Wohnung zu zeigen und den Schlüssel zu überreichen. Es war rundrum ein perfekter Urlaub.
The keys of the apartment worked fine. It was all very clean and spacious terrace is an ideal place to linger. The location was ideal for us. (Train station, supermarket, sea, beach and bus station all in the immediate vicinity). We would definitely come back, in a possible next Nice stay.
Die Schlüsselübergabe der Wohnung hat bestens geklappt. Es war alles sehr sauber und die grosszügige Terrasse ist ein idealer Ort um zu verweilen. Die Lage war für uns ideal. (Bahnhof, Supermarkt, Meer, Strand und Bushaltestelle alles in unmittelbarer Nähe). Wir kommen gerne wieder, bei einem allfälligen nächsten Nizza-Aufenthalt.

FLORIDA KEYS -- The mangrove cuckoo may not be as bad off as scientists once thought. The foot-long bird is distinct from other cuckoos by its white tail spots and dark brown top. The bird isn't seen very often because it favors areas unreachable by humans, such as tangled mangrove forests.
During last week's Upper Keys Christmas Bird Count, Audubon of Florida scientist Peter Frezza spotted the mangrove cuckoo while boating near central Florida Bay.
It was the first time in 32 years that the species had been recorded during the annual count.
"It is a very rare find," Frezza said. "I've only seen a dozen or so in my entire life."
The count, known to birders as the CBC, is a nationwide event sponsored by the National Audubon Society to help monitor species that might need better protection. It runs from Dec. 14 through Jan. 5 in different locations across the country.
At Audubon of Florida's Tavernier Science Center, about 30 birders met up at 6:30 a.m. last Friday to hash out a final plan for the day-long Upper Keys count. Frezza, who organized the local count, called the attendance amazing.
"I am really shocked with the amount of response we've gotten," he said.
For one day a year, Audubon biologist Michelle Robinson puts away her fish experiments, pulls out the clip board, grabs the binoculars and scours the sky for flying creatures. Each bird identified is recorded.
A member of the Plantation Key-based research center, Robinson started last Friday's trek with a walk around Founders Park. From there, her group searched a piece of state-owned land behind the weigh station. Other stops included many neighborhoods along the ocean and bay. Along the way were songbirds and birds of prey. Near Founders Park, a hawk flying overhead scared many birds into hiding.
The group recorded many different species of warblers. Also making the list were cardinals, woodpeckers, pelicans, magnficent frigate bids, white-crowned pigeons and turkey vultures, to name a few.
While shore-based groups covered areas from Snake Creek to Key Largo, three boats on Florida Bay, including Frezza's, braved howling winds out of the northwest so counters could visit different islands searching for seabirds.
Given the unusually seasonal conditions, this year's count was down a bit compared to last year. The final tally for this year's Upper Keys CBC was 6,552 birds, down from 8,733 a year ago. But species counts were about the same with birders spotting 104 types, up just two from last year. Overall, the most common bird recorded was the brown pelican, coming in at 708.
But success is not measured in total numbers. Rather, the annual effort is about providing researchers with useful information.
"Zero birds is still data," said Michelle Davis, a birder from Homestead who frequents as many bird counts as she can.
Another birder, Tina Odenbaugh, also takes her counting seriously. She adds that it opens up whole new worlds for birders. Just recently her husband participated in a bird count in California's Sequoia National Park.
"Isn't it amazing that birding takes you places you normally don't get to see," she said inside a hardwood hammock on Plantation Key.
Geoff LeBaron, director of the nationwide CBC, said the counts show researchers which birds could be in trouble in the next two to three decades so proactive measures can be taken.
"We need to protect areas we think the birds will be in 20 or 50 years," LeBaron said.
For example, through the nationwide bird count, birders helped inform researchers that bald eagle numbers are climbing to safer levels. Locally, Audubon researchers are interested in following roseate spoonbill numbers, as the birds serve as an indicator species for a healthy Everglades.
This year's Christmas Bird Count was Audubon's 114th. Counts have been conducted in the Upper Keys since 1956.
