location of the office and the apartment is very close to the main station and the inner city and therefore easily to reach by foot. people in the office are friendly, proper english speaking and helpfull. the apartment itself gave a great impression, all clean, well-equipped and working (dish-washer and so on). the perfect base to explore the city and relaxe afterwards.
Everything was in order,but we had only four rusians chanels in TV .We are not Russian :)
The apartment of Alex and Anastasia was beautiful. It is better than shown in photos and description. We got detailed informations ahead for the procedure when we arrived and have to get the keys from their office, which is nearby the central station. The apartment was just 3 min by foot from there. Furthermore we get very useful informations of hotspots and must seen places in Prague. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay in the heart of Prague. We very recommend this apartment.
Nice appartment, in the center of the city, near to all the nice spots in Prague.
The pickup in the airport, was nice, arrangede by Alex and Anastasia. But the transfer from appartment to airport, was not a sycces, we waited for the transfer and nothing happend, i call the office, and they forgot to arrange the transfer, even i send an e-mail the day before, to confirm the transfer, but no respons.
For familyes with kids, have in mind, there are nightclubs in the same street.
But all in all a nice holliday.
Really nice, spacious and fully equipped (good blow dryer!) apartement, only 3 walking minutes to Charles Bridge and about 8-10 walking minutes to city centre, perfect for a city trip!
As we arrvived, Alex gave us many and really good information about Prague and about the apartement neighborhood (where to breakfast, what to visit etc.). So if you come unprepared, after the key and information handover you are well informed! If you have any question, Alex or Anastacia will answer within hours, so really great host service!
We were 10 people and visited Prague for a weekend trip. As we arrived late on Friday, we picked up the keys in a locker which was very comfortable. The flat is really good located and we could reach everything easily by feet. The flat was very clean and modern. All of us liked especially the shower ;)
We had a very nice stay in Prague and all 10 of us were really satisfied wih the flat. I can recommend it for bigger groups as there are 2 bathrooms and enough space for all.
Thank you!
Excellent and spaceous appartment. In city centre, 45 seconds walk from Wencesas Square, reasonably close to the subway station Mustek. Supermarkets and plenty restaurants in walking distance. mini market and nice coffee place, 20m outside the appartment.
I went there with my family of 6. All the kids had a double bed! I would go there again. Also excellent reception by Alex from Ruterra
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
It was a wonderfull stay in this great appartment. Very clean!
We only met Alex, not Anastasia. Alex was very nice and helpful - he gave us town maps and at any time we could either call or come by the office. He was VERY patient with all of us (we were a chaotic group of 6 and couldn't follow or schedule that well - we apologize for that again).
The sunflower apartment was in a very good condition - everything was clean and nice. For those who want to book the sunflower apartment in the future, just so you know: the three rooms are next to each other, so the people who sleep in the last room have to go through the other two rooms in order to go to the bathroom. But that was no problem.
There is a vietnamese restaurant right next to the apartment which we recommend. The apartment is very central - you could also walk into the city (approx. 10min)
All in all we were very satisfied with the apartment and there is much more space for more than 6 people.
Thanks again for the hospitality! See you next time!

Interview with Olcay Ünver, Coordinator of the World Water Assessment Programme
Making the World Water Development Report always more relevant
for decision makers and stakeholders
October 2012
Olcay Ünver is the coordinator of the World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP), UN-Water's programme responsible for the coordination of the United Nations World Water Development Report (WWDR). The fourth edition of the Report, "Managing Water under Uncertainty and Risks", was released in March 2012. For future editions of the report, UN-Water has opted for a new formula, with a thematic, annual WWDR in the order of 100 pages.
Olcay tells us about the WWDR4, the changes that will be implemented and their motivations, and gives us some hints about the WWDR5.
What are the main messages of the WWDR4 and how have these and the Report been received?
"The WWDR4 builds on the comprehensive approach taken in WWDR1 and 2, and the holistic view taken in WWDR3. It gives an account of the critical issues facing water resources at the global and regional level by incorporating a deeper analysis of the external forces, such as agriculture, climate change, demography, economy, ethics and culture, governance of institutions, infrastructure, politics and technology, linked to water. "
"The main messages of the WWDR4 revolve around the concept that water underpins all aspects of development, and it is the only medium that links sectors and through which major crises can be jointly addressed. For this reason, we need to have a coordinated approach to managing and allocating water across competing sectors to meet multiple goals and ensure that progress made in one sector is not offset by declines in others. This can be done only with the help of strong institutions and political will, which can facilitate discussion and decisions between sectors and help balance risks. Institutional arrangements and regulatory frameworks must also have the flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances affecting water management."
"The report is very well received by our readers. At this point I would like to emphasize that the decision-makers and politicians - who are both inside and outside the "water-box" - lie at the core of our target group. Consequently, the in-depth analysis of challenge areas, best practices as examples and recommendations of the report are specifically designed to better inform them regarding trends, uses and users of water and what is at stake linked to their potential decisions."
The WWDR4 underlines that water needs to be an intrinsic element in decision-making across the whole development spectrum and that coordinated approaches to managing and allocating water are therefore critical. How does the report reach out to all concerned stakeholders both in and out of the water domain?
"The WWDR4 emphasizes that water is not a sector by itself but a thread connecting all sectors. Consequently, the report encompasses them and gives meaningful messages to those who are both inside and outside the "water-box". We highlighted that water constraints are starting to limit future economic growth and development, and stressed the importance of investment in building human, institutional and technical capacity. The minimal use of technical jargon in WWDR4 allows that the report can be read and understood by a wide range of stakeholders, from water managers to leaders in government, to civil society and business, from local to global level."
The new formula is intended to make the WWDR increasingly more relevant for its readership. How will the new formula help reaching out to decision makers and stakeholders outside the water domain especially?
In late 2011/early 2012, UN-Water conducted an internal survey among the UN agencies and a Stakeholders global survey to generate input regarding UN-Water publications, with a special emphasis on how future World Water Development Reports (WWDR) should be designed. Results show that almost 60% of stakeholders prefer an annual report and that more than 80% would like a report with less than 200 pages. Based on these findings, UN-Water decided to have an annual thematic report, with a length around 100 pages and a synthesis report every 5 years.
The new series of shorter, annual, thematic WWDRs will require a more streamlined approach. So far, we have focused the attention on the interactions between water and the multiplicity of external forces, and on how decisions made outside the water box affect the resources and other users. In the new editions of the Report, we will zoom on a specific theme, thus the new challenge will be to take account of the water's cross-cutting nature and the interactions between external drivers and the theme. We plan to analyze recent developments related to the selected theme in terms of trends and events, of evolution of key drivers and externalities, and in the context of major global crises.
The limited size of the Report, about 100 pages, will help its readability and distribution, and the annual periodicity will allow updated, in-depth analysis on specific issues.
The WWDR5, the first edition under the new formula, is to be published in 2014 and will address "Water and Energy". Why this theme?
All aspects of social and economic development, which are often referred to as the food–energy–health–environment 'nexus', depend on water. These activities determine how water is allocated, managed and used, affecting the quantity and quality of water resources.
Energy and water are intricately connected. All sources of energy, including electricity, require water in their production processes: from the extraction of raw materials, to powering turbines or cultivate crops for biofuels. Energy is itself required to make water resources available for human use and consumption - including irrigation, through pumping, transportation, treatment, and desalination. At the same time, climate change is creating new uncertainties with regard to freshwater supplies and to the main water use sectors such as agriculture and energy, which will in turn exacerbate uncertainties regarding future demands for water.
The water–energy links assume then a relevant role, and we think that growing recognition and providing in-depth information can help to raise awareness among managers of the energy sector as well as those responsible for planning in different water/energy-dependent sectors, of the broader implications of their actions on water resources and on other users.
As the WWDR4 has recognized, we are living in conditions of increasing uncertainty and risk at global scale; thus, integrating water as critical priority in all key policy areas of governments - food and energy security, trade and the economy, financing, public health and security – is becoming crucial. So far, water and energy policies are generally made in different government departments or ministries. We hope that the findings of the next report, the WWDR5, could help policy-makers to promote more efficient and integrated water uses for energy and vice versa, and work in closer coordination.

Cannot wait for Breaking Dawn two. Just a little miffed that Kristen Stewart felt the need to drop the f bomb again. She said it to Rob! I was so embarressed. For Rob. Stephenie Meyer seemed so unhappy to be at Comic Con. She never interacted with TWILIGHT cast this time. It seems she was there under orders. WE Loved Mackenzie Foy… The cast were awesome. It was nice to see some of the new Vampire cast. I am so excited for the movie in November. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR FUTURE INDEAVERS TWILIGHT CAST. YOU ARE AWESOME!

"Ditting" right here bro - hop on, support the guy because Brown's stupid move most likely knocked himself out of the game.
I've never seen so much hate for a long time solid running back for the Giants. It's like he plays for the Eagles or something.
Let's put the women and children to bed and go lookin' for dinner
Best thing the Giants can get is a healthy AB1 and AB2 - with all the options passing and 2 great backs possibly - we are an offensive force. More so than last year!
With this D looks like we'll need it!
Wondering if BP will let us out of the corner now considering the play from Bradshaw the last few drives?

Original post: It's been a whole week since Microsoft forced its rejected Kin handsets under the guillotine, but the company still hasn't uttered a word about just how poorly the phones sold. Early rumblings suggested that Redmond shipped a measly 500 units, and an anonymous source cited by John Gruber today lends credence to that figure.
"A well-placed little birdie" told Gruber over the weekend that Microsoft sold a grand total of 503 Kins before throwing in the towel. Putting that into perspective, one unnamed Microsoft worker said the phone's sales revenue probably couldn't even cover the launch party held on campus. "As an employee, I am embarrassed. As a shareholder, I am pissed," the person said.
As much as we'd love to buy into the drama, it's hard to believe the company only shipped 500 phones especially considering the project's advertising effort. Other estimates suggest Microsoft has sold between 1,000 and 10,000 units, and while still depressingly low, that's more conceivable.
Verizon is continuing to sell the Kin One and Kin Two at a discount. You can own a small piece of Microsoft's history for as low as $30 (with a two-year contract, naturally). If you're not willing to part with cash, you can show your support by visiting the Kin's online memorial.

Question for PAUSD High School Parents re Grammar Sentence Diagramming?
Original post made by Grammar?, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Sep 16, 2012
I am the parent of an elementary student and I can't see the evidence of a whole lot of grammar instruction from looking over my student's work, with the exception, perhaps, of learning the parts of speech. (Although, when I queried my child the other day, my child couldn't tell me what a preposition is.)
As I recall, the SAT has a fair number of grammatically related questions. How are kids preparing for SAT grammar in high school? Do PAUSD language arts and English classes prepare them well enough, or are high school parents having to play catch up with kids to get them ready for the SAT?

I have a Paly graduate and a junior. Neither have diagrammed sentences or received much grammar (or writing for that matter) instruction.
a resident of Adobe-Meadow
on Sep 16, 2012 at 10:22 am
Maybe they still do that some places, but I don't recall my kids ever doing it here (or back east). Didn't seem to hurt them on the SAT.
I found the writing instruction was a function of teachers. Particularly at the high school level some did good close review/editing of papers. The papers weren't long or complicated, but the students did learn to express thoughts and make arguments in coherent sentences and paragraphs. Prior to high school I didn't see much thoughtful written work, though they did do a few short papers with multiple drafts to teach them a writing process.
a resident of Palo Alto High School
on Sep 16, 2012 at 3:10 pm
I don't think my kids have learned much grammar. However, I don't think they have done very much reading of literature with well composed English.
Some of the reading material they study is written in some type of pidgin English, with poor sentence structure, poor grammar and poor spelling.
This tends to teach them that it doesn't matter how it is written if the work is original thought. Monkey says, monkey do, or in this case monkey read, monkey write.
The best way to improve English grammar, is to teach a foreign language starting at elementary level, particularly latin and latin based languages. I found that it was only when I was learning foreign grammar that I understood its importance in my own language.
Diagramming sentences is a useful exercise, but it doesn't teach the importance of grammar to the average student apart from its simplest form. The practice of reading good literature and prose, particularly reading out loud, really does help. When your student has finished an essay or paper, having them read it out loud as if they were on a stage, gets them to "hear" whether it makes good sense or not.

They do not diagram. They learn very little grammar. It actually hurts them not just in English, but subsequently also when learning foreign languages that require more grammar knowledge. I tutor Paly students in a foreign language and can tell you that they don't know what the different kinds of words / sentence elements are. Unfortunately. It would so much help their study of foreign languages if they did. Never mind their English.

Did Shakespeare diagram his sentences?
a resident of Palo Alto High School
on Sep 17, 2012 at 1:36 pm
Sentence diagramming is overrated and is not necessary for success on the SAT.
Back in the day, PAUSD had excellent English teachers in the 70s-80s, but those days are gone. All the Paly alums of my years have fantastic writing skills. However, due to the teachers actually teaching us how to write, assigned papers, and corrected and returned our papers back to us with corrections.
Teachers nowadays have students exchange papers for peer corrections. How can another student in the same grade level correct another's paper?
Other teachers return papers with very few corrections or NO CORRECTIONS at all.
Sure, there are some dedicated teachers who spend time correcting, but very few, and a lot less corrections are noted than back in my day.
Computers were invented and everyone is busier nowadays. However, I think it is an obligation for English teachers to spend time correcting papers because it is part of their job.
How can our children learn to write? We must help them or enroll them in extra classes.
We learned about gerunds, prepositions, etc. but does it really matter? Writing practice/teacher corrections will teach students to write properly.
If you really want to be shocked, look at some of the postings online from the rest of the nation. Scary.

QUOTE: "if you don't think your child is receiving this instruction, teach it at home. You know... be a parent."
I posted my question in order to help me determine if I need to do this. I am already tutoring my child after school to make up for the Everyday Math curriculum. Now, I guess that I will have to teach my child grammar and writing, as well.
For the record, I don't think that sentence diagramming is the be-all and end-all of grammar instruction. However, it does provide students with insight into the structure of sentences. I would like my child to learn how to write complex, interesting and grammatically correct sentences. Sentence diagramming is one too toward that end.

I remember vividly my '71 Cubberley English teacher railing over the decline of students' general knowledge and language skills in particular. Taking four years of German sure helped me understand the technical intricacies of grammar and sentence construction. In response to the original question, I've found that standardized tests are best approached as if they are a competitive sport. Focused coaching and practice practice practice can really improve a score, but only when the interest and desire are present.
a resident of Crescent Park

I used to have to diagram sentences when I was in school as a kid.
I think it is a real shame this is not taught in school, if it is indeed not taught in school.
Grammar is a very important subject, not just for English sentences, but in a mathematical and scientific sense. Understanding how to deconstruct meaning encoded in symbols, be they verbal, written or computer programs is a skill that everyone on the planet needs and learning sentence diagramming in that context can be helpful for that.
I imagine this might just be above the teaching ability or the learning ability of most California students these days. Schools do seem to be turning into day care centers.
I try to think of all the things that are just not even bothered with these days. I thought of Civics, i.e.. citizenship, when I heard some of the speeches at the recent DNC. We should be getting better in the amount and quality of skills we teach kids these days ... it seems like the opposite. Then we pile idiotic and useless subjects on them that do not help or prepare them for life. Why?

Well while I am at it I have to say this ain't so! ;-)
In fact a friend of mine with English being their "third" language was taking a history class a t the college level. She was taking an American history class for her degree. She was asking me for some help understanding her history textbook on the Civil War.
I read some of the text. To me it seemed intelligible, but when I started to realize how many American idioms this book had in it it seemed like a time bomb for any non-English speaker, or even an English speaker without an understanding of sayings and idioms. Putting myself in her position of trying to get through school that was so biased in the texts and methods used to teach student I realized just how instititions can be used to keep people out to discriminate against people just because they might no understand cultural or speech phraseology that in my opinion has no business being in a history book that non-expert English speakers might not understand.

@Grammar? Don't let "here's an idea's" rude, nasty post bother you. This board is full of trolls and a lot of people post just to be jerks, and others just come to rubberneck the car crash. Here's another idea: why don't we have mandatory registration on this board so that people have to reveal their identity to the moderator at least. That should cut down on mean, nasty, critical, flaming, trolls like "idea" who just wanted to make Grammar feel bad for no good reason. What is the point of "you know...be a parent" if it is not to embarrass, shame, humiliate, and bully the original poster and why why why does the Weekly which is otherwise a pretty good paper maintain this anonymous board which fosters this kind of incivility and meanness. What about that was necessary? Why is the comment still posted? You know...be a moderator.

In my experience the best way to learn to write well is to be taught by someone, usually a schoolteacher, who writes well. As an aside, I was taught how to diagram sentences somewhere in there-- fifth grade I think. A fad at the time, and, in my opinion, then and now, a waste of time. I agree with most everyone that having students correct each other's English papers is problematic.

I disagree. College texts, especially in the humanities, should be expected to be written at an advanced level. Every language is full of idioms. Do you think, for example, that French is easier? I don't fault your friend for trying, but, she clearly had some serious English gaps that she needed to fill.

What is a good program to supplement grammar and writing?
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Sep 20, 2012 at 2:43 pm
None of my children learned grammar in the Palo Alto school system.
The first time my daughters had any formal grammar training was at Castilleja. When my youngest child was at Duveneck I commented to the school principal about the lack of grammar instruction. "You can't teach grammar in a public school," was his response. I attended public schools in White Plains, NY in the 1950s-1960s and had language arts instruction starting in secound grade.
I believe that PAUSD does not value grammar instruction.
a resident of Adobe-Meadow
on Sep 20, 2012 at 3:05 pm
I agree, PAUSD generally doesn't value grammar instruction as far as I can see. I'm not sure I do either. I had some as a kid and later got some while learning Latin and French in high school. I have never seen the value, and most of the niceties I learned (pluperfect this and subjunctive that) don't do much for me.
Also, learning formal grammar has little or no relationship to learning to write or speak well, which is much more related to learning to think straight and express your thoughts clearly. I agree that practice, close editing, and feedback are key to that process.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Sep 21, 2012 at 12:14 am
My third grade child is learning sentence diagramming now and my other children learned it also. I agree that teacher feedback on writing is key to learning to write and sentence diagramming is not essential. As with all of academics, all learning depends on the teacher. Win some, lose some.

AMES, Iowa — Nearly 700 Iowa 4-H youth, families and friends cheered on the Iowa State University Women's Basketball team during 4-H Day at Hilton Coliseum.
"The Cyclones lost the Jan. 14 game to Texas A&M, but our 4-H'ers still had a great time cheering for the Cyclone women and visiting the Iowa State campus," said Shelly Greving, Iowa 4-H Foundation marketing director. "4-H Day at Hilton is always a 4-H club and family friendly event. This year we even had three generations of the Christensen family from Audubon County participating."
The fourth annual event attracted 4-H'ers from throughout the state, Greving said. The fun included a pregame tailgate dinner sponsored by the Iowa Pork Producers Association and a tour of the College of Human Sciences (CHS).
"CHS students led the walking tour on campus and 230 4-H'ers learned how their 4-H experiences can lead to careers in various areas of human sciences," Greving said.
"Iowa State University Collegiate 4-H'ers also volunteered their time — checking in participants, handing out t-shirts and helping ensure that the event ran smoothly," Greving added.
Collegiate 4-H'er Kayla Greiner took photos of the event, available from the Iowa 4-H flickr site.
4-H is the youth program of America's Cooperative Extension Service and is the nation's largest youth development organization, serving more than 6 million young people across the United States with programs in leadership, citizenship, communication and life skills.
One in five Iowa school-age youth participates in Iowa State University Extension 4-H Youth Development programs, headquartered at the Iowa State University campus in Ames and available through ISU Extension and Outreach offices in all Iowa counties. 4-H is supported by federal, state and county funding, private grants and donations, and fees. For more information about joining 4-H, contact your ISU Extension and Outreach county office or visit www.extension.iastate.edu/4H.
The Iowa 4-H Foundation, www.iowa4hfoundation.org, provides the financial resources to develop and deliver quality 4-H youth programs throughout the state of Iowa. The opportunities provided by the Foundation help young people enhance their ability to use critical thinking, leadership, communication and social skills – tools that will give them a competitive edge in their future endeavors. The Iowa 4-H Foundation is a charitable 501 (c) 3 organization with a governing board of 29 trustees.
Photos of the event are available from the Iowa 4-H flickr site.

|2nd time's a charm
Date Climbed: Sep 7, 2007
|This was my 2nd time at Shav/Tab. The first time was Oct 2006 when the winds turned terrible above treeline and my partner and I were forced to turn back.
So, met up with a guy from 14ers.com on the trail. I started at 7AM, but he didn't start until 7:30. Though it'd been sunny all day, we hit treeline and the clouds rolled in. A little depressed, we pressed on to the saddle where we met 2 other couples who were waiting out the fog. We pressed on, and immediately, the clouds cleared.
Anyway, summitted Shav, didn't eat much, then went over to Tab. Hit the saddle, and was floored by a wave of nausea. Sat down and thought about turning back. After a bit, decided to force myself up to the summit of Tab. Met my partner up there as well as another guy, who all thought I had altitude sickness, which was weird since I hadn't had altitude sickness in any of my 12 other 14er summits! So, I started eating an apple and felt great right away. PHEW! Guess I just was hypoglycemic.
Felt great the rest of the day and hiked down by 4PM.

There is always truth in the idea that "we are what we repeatedly do." This means that the habits that a person has imbibed in his/her lifetime generally determine the way of life and even the future predicament of that person. Similarly, it is safe to say that "we are what we repeatedly eat." In the realm of health and epidemiology of diseases, the kind of food that a person usually eats generally determines the health and well-being of that person. This is because the diet that a person usually follows is a veritable pattern of eating and a habitual way of consuming food. Hence, the way a person eats is also considered a habit, and it is a fact that one's eating habit generally determines the health and well-being of one's body.
More often, many diseases could have been easily prevented had a person been assiduous enough in altering his/her eating habit. Yet, the eating habit, just like any form of habit, is often difficult to change. Once you, for example, have been used to a certain pattern of eating, you would surely find it hard to get out of that eating pattern. It would take you a certain amount of willpower or an adverse condition such as the onset of a disease to make you alter your usual habit of eating. Yet, it would be a pity if you would only change your habit when it is already too late, or when you are already beset with a disease caused by your eating habits. Say for instance, if you always eat sugary food, you are slowly putting yourself in a position of developing the disease of Type II diabetes. Moreover, if you are not fond of eating food rich in Vitamin C, for example, there is a strong likelihood that you may develop the disease of scurvy. Hence, if you want to maintain a healthy body, you should ensure that your body gets the right nutrients necessary for your well-being.
There are various dietary programs which were devised to guide people on how to achieve their ideal body weight without compromising their health and well-being. The most popular among these guidelines are the gm diet guidelines which are designed to ensure that you get proper nutrients while you lose weight.
Body Mass Index
One of the best indicators of a healthy body is the body mass index (BMI). Your body weight and your height are the two factors necessary to calculate your BMI. The BMI helps you find the ideal weight that you should gain in relation to your height. If you exceed your ideal BMI, you would be prone to diseases associated with being overweight. Hence, ideally, you should maintain the right weight to insure that you are in a healthy condition. Yet, with all the good food and menus around, it is quite difficult to maintain the right and ideal weight for your height. In fact, nowadays, one of the greatest health problems encountered by some first world countries is the health problem concerning obesity. Dietary programs, therefore, like the GM diet guideline, can play a critical role in helping people cope with the problem of obesity.

Great idea. I'm going to try it.
Thank you. Hope you are having a great day!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Great idea. I'm going to try it.
Thank you. Hope you are having a great day!
We all have our methods, huh? I love your idea! Great to keep it orderly and well spaced! I like the poster who mentioned cactus - I do cactus and mud puddles (mud puddles for the upside down meandering). With the guide line it'll be so much more relaxing. I'm going to try this soon! Thanks for the tip!
Thanks so much for this Tutorial. I may not be so intimidated now to go for it. I also get stuck in spots. I cross lines also.
Asking a seamstress to mend is like asking Picasso to paint your garage.
Great tip, thanks. I'll give it a try ... I can't stipple either :-(
Thanks for the tute. This makes it simple enough for me to even attempt it. I've only done sitd. This might be even easier. Wow!
thank-you for your information
Have a great day and happy sewing !
You have changed my world. I just FMQ's a lap quilt - a smallish one - in a bit over an hour. I divided into quadrants, drew snakes in each quadrant, and off I went. Found that I was keeping too close to the snake so expanded a bit. If I ended up with too much quilt under the machine I cut and restarted with the smaller side on the right - as I meandered around the snake it would turn the quilt, of course. It's not perfect, but as a first attempt that's not SITD or cross hatch - I'm THRILLED. Thank you for sharing your brainstorms with the rest of us!
So many quilts, so little time.
Oh wow, can't wait to try that! TY

New interagency task force will streamline process to provide supplies quickly
en Español
November 1, 2005
Contacts: Chad Colby, Elaine Quesinberry
(202) 401-1576
U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings today announced a new federal initiative, the Furniture For Schools Task Force, to streamline the process for getting furniture and other supplies to schools affected by the recent hurricanes. On behalf of Secretary Spellings, Assistant Secretary Henry Johnson joined the Secretary's Regional Representative Kristine Cohn for a visit to the Second Street Elementary School in Bay St. Louis, Miss., today to discuss the new task force formed by the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency, the General Services Administration and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Numerous schools in the Gulf Coast region were heavily damaged or destroyed by the recent hurricanes and many schools are serving displaced students. This new task force allows federal agencies to combine their resources and expertise to quickly provide surplus desks, computers, printers, filing cabinets, bookshelves and room dividers to schools in these devastated areas. Already, the task force has arranged for nearly 1,100 desks to go to school districts in the hardest hit areas of Mississippi and Louisiana.
"Across the country, we are seeing families, communities and schools open their hearts and doors to children displaced by the hurricanes," Secretary Spellings said. "We are committed to doing everything we can to help local communities provide educational opportunities for these children. The Furniture For Schools Task Force will ensure that surplus federal government property is made available to schools in the most devastated areas. Every day we are also matching schools' needs with private donations through the Hurricane Help for Schools Web site. Americans have given generously to help these schools and to restore a sense of structure and normalcy to the lives of displaced students."
"GSA is proud to be a part of this coordinated effort to help the children impacted by the recent hurricanes, by serving as the facilitator and operational manager for determining priorities and helping to identify the property available," said GSA Acting Administrator David L. Bibb. "The Task Force members are already hard at work to match schools with much-needed furniture and supplies, such as desks, bookshelves and computers."
The Department of Education maintains the Hurricane Help for Schools website, www.ed.gov/Katrina, as a clearinghouse, which matches schools seeking assistance and the items that they need with donations available from companies, organizations and individuals to meet those needs. Schools may post their contact information and the private donors may contact them directly, or donors may list supplies and resources that they are able to provide. Currently, over 420 matches have been made between schools and private donors. The Department is also working continuously to stay in contact with the chief state school officers, state departments of education, and school districts to identify schools' needsespecially those without electricity or Internet access.
In addition to the new task force and the Web page, Secretary Spellings is leading a number of other efforts to help the students affected by the hurricane. Recently, in Jackson, Miss., she announced a new brochure and a series of roundtable meetings of education officials, mental-health experts, teachers and school officials to gather information about the hurricanes' impact on displaced children and the schools that have welcomed these students. The roundtables will be held over the next few months in hurricane-impacted areas. The Bush Administration has proposed a $2.6 billion education package to assist displaced students and the schools that are serving them.

Doctors warn of summer heat
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The heat's not going anywhere as we officially start up the first week of summer.
On Saturday pools and the lake are popular.
Doctors are warning about the dangers of spending too much time in the sun, especially after a cool, wet couple of months.
Spending too much time outside enjoying the day could land anyone in the emergency room.
"it's definitely hot now and the other thing is were very humid. So the bodies natural cooling system is not going to work as well cuz the whole purpose is when you sweat it evaporates and it cools your body down," said Dr. Scott Schultz with Providence Urgent care.
We spoke with people in columbia during today's peak heat to see what they were doing to stay safe while out and about on Saturday.
Two women walking down towards Reactor Field said they were surprised how hot it was outside.
"When we walked outside we were like 'like oh my god this heat is terrible,'" the girls said.
One way families are staying cool is by hitting the pool.
One father we spoke with has six kids and makes sure they are staying safe while being in the sun for so long.
"We got our sunscreen on which is most important, we make sure we do that. We kind of monitor him, keeping him out of the sun and stay away in the shade and bring him out and get him wet and put him back under and keep it under wraps and keep him safe," Brian Johnson said.
Doctors warn the signs of trouble may come to late too treat.
"If you start experiencing head aches, nausea, spinning make sure you get inside and take a break," Dr. Schutlz said.
Earlier today University Hospital had zero reports of people coming into the emergency room due to heat related illness.
Earlier this week we told you urgent cares in the area have started to see heat related illnsesses.
They also haven't treated anyone yet this weekend.

|Acceptance rate
|Response time
|A few hours
|Calendar updated
This is a modern and cozy apartment, full of character and light, set on the first floor (Drto) of an ancient typical Lisbon building in the trendy and vibrant Bairro Alto, known as one of the most attractive and picturesque areas of the Lisbon's city center. This apartment is part of a group of 7 apartments that we have in this building.
The apartment has one bedroom with a double bed, and a double sofa bed in the living room, a nice bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, ready to cook home made meals. Towels and linens at your disposal are included in the price and satelite Tv and wireless internet as well.
To set forth on a discovery of Lisbon, there is no better place to begin: the tram a few steps away, international brand shops at Chiado and the more daring fashions in Bairro Alto, where you also have the trendiest restaurants of Lisbon. Bica neighbourhood, close by, is becoming a night haven for artists and intellectuals. But this does not destroy the calm and charm of Rua das Chagas. For theatre and opera lovers there are three theatre houses at a five minute distance, S. Carlos, S. Luiz and Trindade Theatres.
Chiado is where Lisbon's history and urbanity meet. This tourist area of the capital begins at the Brasileira café, on Rua Garrett. Opened in 1905. It´s one of Lisbon's postcards. On the side walk café you will find the different urban tribes and a statue of poet Fernando Pessoa, who offers his lap for tourist photos.
Next to it, two churches remind the vanished towers of Santa Catarina Gate. The Church of Loreto, built in 1528 by Italians living in Lisbon, was partially destroyed by the 1755 earthquake, but later rebuilt and one of the places to visit on Chiado. The Church of Encarnação, inaugurated in 1708, was also hit in 1755 and rebuilt later. But Chiado has more than just two churches to see.
Luís de Camões square, which any Lisboner will call Largo Camões, is not just a passing place. Sit on the steps of the poet's monument and enjoy the bustle that Chiado has.
But do not leave Chiado without inquiring about the theatres. São Luiz Municipal Theatre was one of Lisbon's first cinemas. Today it is a municipal theatre with a rich and varied programming. Also glimpse the Teatro Trindade and the S. Carlos Opera House.
This is one of the city´s best shopping areas. You will find international brand shops (Hermès and Hugo Boss, for example) and great Portuguese designers like José António Tenente (Tv. Carmo, 8) StoryTailors (Cç. Do Ferragial, 8) or Atelier Alves/Gonçalves (Tv. Guilherme Cossul, 16).
It is not difficult to come across public figures, mainly artists. There are several art schools in the area, like the Fine Arts Faculty. Even if you are not an expert, venture into the Chiado Museum - National Museum of Contemporary Art (Rua Serpa Pinto, 4) besides well-cared exhibitions, it has a pleasant patio to have lunch or simply sip a coffee. There is also a big offer for meals: Café Royale, New Wok and Kaffee Hause are excellent choices.
Walk the streets with care, the movement on the sidewalks is always heavy and the trams are constantly passing.
You are in Lisbon. And Lisbon never stops

이 호스트의 또 다른 숙소후기
It was a pleasure to stay at Margaridas apartment. The apartment is fully equipped with everything I needed for my stay. The area the apartment is located at is one of my favorites. It's close to the jardim do principe real, to bairo alto as well as to the avenida liberdade. You can reach everything walking.
It was really easy and uncomplicated to arrange the check in and I was warmly welcomed by Filipe. He explained me the apartment and gave me a lot of recommendations to fully enjoy my stay. I couldn't have wished a better first meeting with a local. Thank you Filipe and Margarida!
The Appartement lies very central in barrio alto. Nice to Start going around in Lisboa. The service was good. Quick we got help with our technical problems.
The beds are comfortable.
One negativ suggestion is the bad smell in the Appartement.
The location of the apartment in Alfama, close to the Se cathedral and city center is perfect. All Lisbon regions (Alfama,Baixa, Bairro alto and Chiado) are at walking distance. In case you want to go there by public transportation you'll find tram (28E and others) and bus stop just around the corner and the metro station Terreira do Paco is at a 5 minutes walk. There's a supermarket "Pingo Doce" at approx. 10 minutes walking distance.
The sober decorated apartment has a kitchen, 2 small bedrooms, a very small living room and a bathroom.
We had to clean part of the kitchen and do the dishes before use.The kitchen gear is very basic and partly incomplete. When we arrived we found only 3 glasses (this was resolved after a call to the host). There's no electric coffee machine. Besides a dustpan with a short broom, there are no other (floor) cleaning tools like a vacuum cleaner, normal sized broom etc. So it's hard to keep it clean when you're there for more than 2 days.
The double bed in one of the bedrooms measures only 184 x 128, which is not a normal double sized bed and doesn't fit taller people. This should be mentioned on the website.
The absence of a shelf with bed light at one side of the bed in both rooms, which were there in the past according to the holes in the wall (and pictures on the website) indicate a lack of maintenance as did the broken dustbin, not functioning lock on the bathroom door, no light in the refrigerator etc.
I would not recommend this apartment for more than 4 persons.
Overall, we did enjoyed our stay and the host was very friendly, but based on the reviews, I got a slightly different impression of the apartment. With this review I want to compensate for that. I think it's quite easy to make it a more attractive apartment with only minor investments. Please do.
We got to Lisbon after staying in Porto for a few days.
We had a great time despite the terrible weather but we won't be back soon.
Filipe met us at the apartment and showed us around. He told us where we could find a super market and a few grocery stores, then he recommended a nice bar to hang out in the evening, which we enjoyed alot and won't give away it's name online. It's an amazing bar and until now free of drooling drunk tourists unlike so many other places.. lol
He didn't want to go through "the map" and give tons of recommendations and instead offered to be "available" around the clock for us to write/call him if we were interested in a place and wouldn't know if and how we should go there.
We were fine with that and he answered on our first request pretty quickly, not so much when we contacted him on the second day (for a restaurant-recommendation) and didn't receive any answer for the rest of our stay in Lisbon.. In that case, we'd prefer a map with some marks of recommendations instead of empty words.
The apartment's location is absolutely perfect, few minutes of walking to Bairro Alto (bars and restaurants, nightlife-hotspot) and still pretty calm at night. The apartment looks great at first glance, lots of space and great ambiance.
We only gave 4 stars, because it was dirty!
We had to clean some of the kitchen before we found it save to use any of it and also had to do the dishes before using them - however, we didn't clean out the cupboards which would've taken forever and definitely needs to be done asap.
The floor was sticky so that we couldn't bare walking around in socks (only bringing in more dirt I guess) and the bedsheets had some ugly stains on them.
The bathroom was okay, but the toilet paper sits on the floor and the toilet brush is standing in a deep puddle of god-knows-how-old toilet water (I didn't dare to clean that one!).
The shower head is leaky and spills water all around and it's holder sits loosely on the wall..
this might not be much reason to criticize for many as I know lots of people who live in such "conditions" and seem perfectly fine with that.
For me it's just unacceptable to not get a place cleaned up before offering it to someone.
Absolutely perfect! The stay in this appt. was as great as expected. Our host Tiago was very helpful and the appt. was very nice and clean. We had a great vacation in Lisboa!
Our hosts were very welcoming and caring! The flat itself offered an amazing view of the city!
We really enjoyed our time in Lisbon. The studio was great and in a central location. Everything looked exactly like the pictures; you will not be disappointed.
We were nicely welcomed by Tiago who gave us tips and a map of the city which was a great help.
The tram is literally 10s away from the front door and it takes you to the best places in Lisbon.
I would recommend this place to anyone and would happily book it again.
It's a bit small for 3 people but just perfect for 2 people.
It's a bit noisy in the morning but you should not waste your time sleeping in Lisbon there is so much to discover!
This flat is a really nice flat near to the tram 28 station and near to a mini super market. The people who where responsible fir the flat where really friendly and helped in every matter. The only thing which annoyed us were the noise around the flat. The flights from outside, the dog from above and always the door to the street. It doesn't matters if you have a tight sleep but if not you should bring somethibg for your ears with you. Nevertheless the stay was great and we would come again!!!
We had a very pleasant stay in Lisbon. The host was very nice and helpful. The appartment was spacious and clean. The beds were good and the kitchen was fully equipped. The only downsides were the ants inside in the appartment (so put out the garbage immediately) and that we had to get up 187 steps to get to the appartment because it is located quite high in the city. Nevertheless this was a good excercise and we didn't really mind it. We would definitely recommend the appartment!
We had a lovely stay in this appartment, is has a top location, very pleasant neigborhood where ordinary people live their lives, quiet, and yet in the middle of vibrant Lisbon, with tramway 28 at 1 min, nice restaurants all around. Don't forget to have a bite at the restaurant of the Belgium lady, when you walk up the street, it is opposit the big white public building. Very comfy bed, cool and charming, the communication with our host was easy and pleasant, thanks Margarida for our lovely stay in Lisbon? We would certainly recommend your appartment!

It seems Australian consumers are losing patience with targeted, yet unwanted, marketing and advertising, both online and off.
A new government report has found that 1 in 2 consumers received an uninvited telemarketing call in the past six months, and a further 9 in 10 consumers said these telemarketing calls were a problem.
Similarly, The Mind & Mood report, conducted earlier this year by Ipsos Australia, found that almost half of Australians didn't want targeted advertising on social media, saying they find the process "creepy" and "insulting".
Particularly frustrated at the targeted advertising online were women over the age of 40 who said that receiving '53 year old mum looks 37' advertisements, accompanied by 'dating for seniors' advertisements, was incredibly offensive.
One respondent said: "I've got single on my status and now they advertise all these dating sites on the side. It's rude".
Laura Demasi, research director for the Mind & Mood report, told B&T that you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who would say something positive about the practice, yet she isn't against social media marketing as a whole.
Instead, she believes consumers just need to be given the option of participating.
You have the polar opposite with opt-in forms of digital advertising like following Facebook brand pages.
Giving people a choice to engage with you is incredibly powerful. They have some sense of ownership, they feel like they're getting something out of it, and they like you for it.
Findings in the report backed this, with many of the respondents indicating they were happy with the organic marketing efforts of brands.
They just wanted to have the choice to opt-in to see posts and tweets from brands they like, something Econsultancy has long reported.

Freshmen advised to take online alcohol-safety course
(Aug. 16, 2006)--UTSA Health Services is asking all faculty and staff to remind incoming freshman and transfer students to participate in the online safety course AlcoholEdu for College. This two-part course is designed to inform students of the inherent dangers of alcohol and alcohol abuse.
All UTSA freshmen, or transfer students with less than 30 credit hours, are required to complete the first phase of this course no later than Friday, Aug. 18. Failure to complete the course will result in the placement of a hold on the student's records and may prevent registration for Spring 2007 classes.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
The course, which may be completed over several days, is two and one-half hours in length. Phase two, which must be completed no later than Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2006, is 20 minutes in length.
Creating an account with their UTSA email address, students login to http://college.alcoholedu.com/login.asp to begin the online course. Students can login from any computer with internet access.
The AlcoholEdu for College program was developed to motivate behavior change, link choices about drinking to academic and personal success and help students practice healthier and safer decision-making. Data from students who completed the program in summer and fall 2004 showed that AlcoholEdu for College:
- Increases practical knowledge: 71% said they now know more about blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and 44% of men know more about how alcohol affects consent for sex.
- Motivates students to change behavior: The percentage of heavy-episodic drinkers who did not see a need to change their behavior dropped by almost 30% after AlcoholEdu and the percentages of students who were trying to change doubled.
- Decreases negative consequences: For the entire academic year 2003/2004, students who took the program had significantly fewer negative personal, health, and academic consequences.
For more information, faculty and students can contact Kathleen Ceresoli in Student Health Services at 458-6428 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

My recommendation would be 9mm given both it's wide range of power choices, depending on loading, as well as manageable platforms from which to launch it. 380 isn't bad by my standards but it can be a bit snappy given the blow back design most 380 pistols are build on and the typical light weight and small size of those weapons. That smaller size may also make manipulating controls and slide racking more difficult for someone with hand strength and flexibility issues. A good example of a manageable 380 would be the Beretta Cheetah given it has a little more weight and heft to it.
The 9mm offers a lot of flexibility in countless platforms and I would think a decent none +p hollow point out of a handgun size and type she can hold comfortably would be about ideal. If still too much then powder puff 115 gr FMJ's could be used. Not ideal but in bunches placed in the right spot on the target will still get the job done. As a second choice out of a wheel gun a none +p 38 special in a large to medium frame gun could work as well. Again staying away from the ultra light weight and smaller examples would be best. Good luck and hope this helps.

We haven't had a post of this for awhile, so if you're new to PW or just want to share your ring again, post away!
as you all know, i'm still patiently waiting for that ring...so give me some inspiration!
jonnie yours is amazing, i love the diamonds on the sides :)
I always want to show my ring lol!
thank you ginabee. i love it :D
missie yours is gorgeous too!
I don't have a picture of my actual ring.
I love showing off pictures of my ring it's not the best quality because I took it on my phone but the camera isn't working right now so it's the best I got.

I'm another PW'er waiting on her ring. FI said "The wheels are turning" But i'm getting impatient!! hahah So for now I get to oogle over your rings! They're all so beautiful!!
getting red. thank you girls. it is the most beautiful ring I ever had.
I just threw antique rings into goggle and found fay cullen. first i was afraid,but when the ring came it was even more beautiful in person. it has personality if one can say so. in the eve it's as if it looks at me to say. well let me sit in my box while you do the homework.... I am too noble for that. laugh. I am talking with my e-ring. I even called it a name. Albert.
don't laugh. :o) I am a little nuts.
I just love this ring. it is made in the 40s-50s with a touch of overworked art deco style but not as flat as the rings were at that time and it is an old sapphire, the colours had more power and vivid light in older times. this is a ceylon sapphire and it changes colour between pervincleblue and lilac.
I dont want to sound vain, I just really love it
:-) thanks girls
i was looking at fay cullen rings too, amazing stuff
Mine is a simple round solitaire diamond in yellow gold. :) My camera doesn't have a macro option so the pics are blurry:

2 carats of flawless sparkle. :) Center stone is a 1.05ct IF (internally flawless) ideal cut, H color. DH designed it based on a Simon G style with the jewellers at Hardy Brothers. I'm still in love! I've never seen a ring sparkle like that before.

Bad photos, but here's mine.
E-ring on top, wedding band underneath :)
I love my ring because it's still a diamond, but it's been tinted blue (my fave colour) so it's really original and stands out, I think. FI had a little help from me but mostly picked it on his own.

The sweet and tangy lime-honey marinade is simmered on the stovetop and then used as a sauce to baste and glaze the chicken. Don't let the chicken marinate any longer than 2 hours; overmarinating in soy sauce and lime juice can make the texture of the meat spongy.
Nutrition Profile:

Low Sodium
Serves 8
Prep Time 30 min
Total Time 210 min.
Step 1
Mix honey, soy sauce, lime zest, lime juice and crushed red pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken pieces; stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
About 20 minutes before you are ready to grill, preheat a gas grill (with all burners lit)
to 400°F or build a fire in a charcoal grill and let it burn down to medium heat (about 400°F).
Step 3
If using a gas grill, turn off one burner (leaving 1 to 2 burners lit, depending on your grill). If using a charcoal grill, move the coals to one side. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade (reserve marinade) and place bone-side down (with the thick part of the meat facing up) on the unheated side of the grill rack. Close the lid and roast undisturbed for 25 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, place the marinade in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and boil until reduced by about half and thickened to a glaze, 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 5
Rotate the chicken to other spots on the unheated portion of the grill to ensure even cooking and lightly brush with some of the glaze. Cover and continue roasting, basting once more about halfway through cooking, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat without touching bone registers 165°F, 10 to 20 minutes more.

She had a bad case of the saber-toothed crotch crickets.

Little did she know as we drove through Kemmerer that the saber-tooth crotch crickets I gave her had their origin in the cathouse up on the hill.

AKA adult pubic lice or crabs, saber-toothed crotch crickets are parasites. These insects are generally found in the crotchal area and they may cause itching.
Little Billy gave the town hooker $25 and all he had to show for it were some saber-toothed crotch crickets.

Yes, I believe we've talked about it ib the Beretta section - I think it is a very good buy for the money.
I had one of the first Beretta Cougars in the 1990s - it had a blue steel slide. I ended up selling it because w/ the grip, it was essentially a fullsize gun, but it has less than a 4" barrel. I generally don't shoot as well w/ a sub 4" barrel.
But the gun itself worked fine.
For the money, I'd buy one of these if I was on a big budget.

When a goal is scored on any FIFA game, whereby one of two or more attacking players are through on goal and where one would usually take the shot at goal, he instead deliberately presses the 'x' button, thereby passing it across the goal, taking the keeper out of play and creating an extremely easy scoring opportunity for the other forward. This has come to be known as the JEW goal as it is common amongst Zionists. No Jews were harmed in the making of this article.
Oh my God, did you see the Fifa JEW goal that luncaster just scored?
Yeah man, what a laanface for life.

I have been smelling sour smell for 4 weeks now and as a 2nd year BK am worried it is AFB. I'm in a close, residential spot, so I smell the hive daily. Goldenrod has been in bloom for 4-6 weeks (IL), so maybe the hive is o.k. and this smell is "normal". (the attached comments were from another thread, but it makes me hopeful.)
If you have AFB you should smell something on the order of dirty, sour, wet, socks along with your visual inspection.
No, if you smell that you are just smelling the bees ripening goldenrod nectar. AFB smells like rotting meat.

Elliott Dunn Talkin': Asylum Seeker Secrecy
24 September 2013 , 8:38 AM by Elliott Dunn
The new federal government will not be releasing details of every asylum seeker vessel that makes its way into Australian waters.
Instead, Immigration Minister Scott Morrison has vowed to give periodic media briefings - on a weekly basis, at this stage.
Is this a sensible attempt to deny people smugglers a government-run shipping news service, as Mr Morrison argues? Or is it an attempt at secrecy that shirks accountability?
Elliott Dunn Talkin' about it on the streets of Canberra this morning. Have a listen to what the people had to say:
