text: Not sure if the age they started skating at had anything to do with them being (relatively) lacking in quads. Too many factors go into that. Anyway, opening poster was asking 'Olympic level' not whether they could medal nowadays. Johhny and Evan were Olympians, even if neither of them was at the technical forefront of their sport.

It turns out that four women were jaywalking, and the officer had them come over. Things escalated, and he was trying to handcuff the first woman (a 19-year-old) when the second one, a 17-year-old, came over. It is clear from the video that the 17-year-old pushed the officer (as pictured above). At that point, the officer punches the 17-year-old in the face.
In a situation where he is clearly outnumbered, it's difficult to fault the officer. At which point, one must ask, did the second woman feel it was OK to assault the officer, and why didn't the first one just cooperate?
Undoubtedly, there's going to be arguments over the incident, and also undoubtedly, there will be "race" brought into the picture. The Seattle police have responded to the incident, and issued this statement.
"You obviously have to take into context everything that occurred from the point that the officer did make contact with the individuals until the situation ended. As I said before, we have some concerns about the tactics the officer used and employed at the time. Again, we did feel what occurred did deserve a review by the Office of Professional Accountability."Watch the video, and decide for yourself.

Critical Congenital Heart Disease
Beginning January 1, 2014, all babies born in Missouri will be screened for critical congenital heart disease. Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) is the name given to specific congenital heart defects. These defects in the heart occur before birth, cause blood to flow in an abnormal pattern, and may lead to blockage of blood flow throughout the body. If left untreated, these defects can lead to death or can cause serious developmental delay.
Pulse oximetry screening is most likely to detect seven specific CCHDs. These include:
- Hypoplastic left heart syndrome
- Pulmonary atresia
- Tetralogy of fallot
- Total anomalous pulmonary venous return
- Transposition of the great arteries
- Tricuspid atresia
- Truncus arteriosus
Newborn Hearing Screening
Effective January 1, 2002, state law mandates screening the hearing of all infants born in Missouri. The purpose of the Newborn Hearing Program is to identify infants with hearing loss and ensure their linkage with services. Early identification and treatment of hearing loss are essential so that speech, language, and learning can develop as normally as possible.

*There is a lower probability of detection of this disorder during the immediate newborn period.
**Currently conducting statewide pilot/implementation testing.
The goal of the Newborn Blood Spot Screening Program is to identify infants at risk and in need of diagnostic testing for the above disorders. Infants with positive newborn screen results for a particular condition are followed up to ensure that confirmatory testing is done. Infants found to be positive are entered into a system of medical care. A normal screening result does NOT rule out the possibility of an underlying metabolic/genetic disease.

I'm new at this. I built a hive from scratch - complete with tongue-and-groove top and bottom (using some of the plans I found on this site). I painted it, put in the frames (with foundation), and feeder - everything but a Welcome mat. I caught a swarm 4 days ago (a cluster about the size of a football hanging on a branch), put them inside, brought them home, took out the wedge sealing the door (so they wouldn't escape on the trip home)and replaced it with the feeder and a short wedge to leave about 1 1/2" opening. Once they were set I peeked inside - thousands of bees were happily crawling around. For the next couple days I watched them buzz in and out. Then yesterday I didn't see much action, so I put my ear to the box. I didn't hear any humming, so I peeked inside again. To my surprise there were only about a dozen bees. They had drawn a little bit of comb, but the place looked like a ghost town.
Did I do something wrong? Is there something special that can be done to make them stay. Should I make them stay inside the hive for a few days (put screen over the opening or something)? I thought I did everything short of mints on their pillows.

As a couples mediator, I can state with certainty that marriage problems often show up in the bedroom first. For that reason, it's important for a woman to stay sexual. Women often complain that they "don't feel sexy" any more. Weight gain, normal aging and other body changes. If this sounds like you, here are eight steps to go from feeling like a fat cat to purring like a sex kitten.

MEET OUR STUDENTS: Hillary Costa: Leader of RIC's Student Body
Local politics was a frequent topic of discussion in Hillary Costa's working-class home. "I felt drawn to these discussions even as a child," she said. "I would sit at the table with the adults, pushing my frank and sometimes forceful opinions, and my parents would often have to tell me, 'Children are to be seen and not heard.'"
Today the senior is president of RIC's Student Community Government, Inc., double majoring in communication and political science. In only three years at the college, she has had her own political talk show on RIC's WXIN radio station; she's written for "The Anchor"; she's interned at the State House and assisted in political campaigns. In January 2012 she traveled with RIC's communication department to the New Hampshire Primaries as part of the NBC 10 Tweet Team. "There I was, only 19 years old, shaking hands and conversing with Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney," she said. "I thought high school was the best it was going to get for me, but at RIC I've been able to succeed above and beyond the expectations I set for myself."
She said her involvement in campus activities began in 2011, her sophomore year. That's when she was invited by Dan Paquet, former news talk-show host for RIC's WXIN radio, to go on air with him and give political commentary. By fall 2011 she had her own radio show called "Capitol Hill" and was writing for the campus newspaper. Soon members of student government were tapping her to run for office. In spring of 2012 she was elected Speaker of Parliament.
"Working for student government is when I saw the true power of students. I always tell people that student government is a microcosm of the real world." Costa went on to win the vice presidency and then the presidency in 2013.
Yet a career in politics is not in her plans for the future. Rather she would like to meld her interests in communication with her passion for sports. This summer she worked as social media coordinator for the Newport Gulls, an amateur baseball team. Costa is an avid athlete herself. When asked if she would be satisfied with a career managing press boxes and interviewing ballplayers over legislating at the State House? Hillary said, yes . . . and no. "Yes, I love sports media, and, no, I could never completely leave politics. Once it's in your blood, it stays there. But I'd never run for a big public office. I'd rather pursue a school committee position."
Until then, Costa is focused on serving RIC's constituency. She said she thrives on RIC's close-knit community. "I love that I can walk down the Quad and people know each other. It's almost as if RIC has become my second hometown and the Quad is Main Street where I can walk and wave and talk to fellow students." Spoken like a true politician, one might add.
For more on Costa, hear her commentary at First Year Convocation 2013 on RIC's Video Gallery.

Following the Warre system, a beekeeper harvests the top boxes full of honey in the fall and leaves the bottom 2-3 for the bees to over-winter.
But my bees (a swarm caught from bee tree in mid May) have built comb in the top 4 boxes already and will soon start on the bottom (5th) box. I don't want to add a sixth box should they fill up the 5th box. What to do? If they fill up the fifth (bottom) box, would it be okay to harvest the top box in July or early August and add another 5th box below? I really don't want to have a six box hive, it just seems too tall/unstable. I also don't want to lift 5 boxes to put a sixth one underneath. I don't have a lift.
Has anyone else harvested honey from a Warre mid-summer? How did it work out? Any informed suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
Judith in Denver, CO
ps: I've never actually harvested honey from a Warre. Last year and the year before my bees never got past two boxes in this drought-stricken semi-arid environment. This year there isn't a super abundance of forage but we had a really slow and late swarm season - half the number of swarms were caught state-wide as normal so I think that although there isn't super-abundant forage, there aren't too many other hives to contend with for it.

Design and Production is responsible for conceptualizing, designing, producing, and aiding in the distribution of Barnard's promotional communications. Whether you're creating a poster or newsletter, a research report or a brochure, the print and production team will work with you from the inception of a project to create a publication that not only best reaches your target audience but also reflects the refreshed visual identity of the College.
Steps for requesting printed materials:
1. Complete the Production Request Form
Please submit the Design and Production Form to production director Lisa Buonaiuto. If you have any questions, email: email@example.com or call 212.854.7522.
If your project is new (as opposed to a redesign), Lisa may, at this time, ask you to fill out a Communications Brief, which contains several key questions that will help us improve the effectiveness of your publication.
If your project is a reprint—that is, if it requires information to be updated but does not require a redesign—you may include the updated text (as a Word document) with your Production Request Form. Please also, when possible, provide a sample of the previously printed material; this is helpful in determining paper stock, type of printing, etc.
What information do you need before filling out a Production Request Form?
• QUANTITY As a rule of thumb, we suggest that you order 10% more than you think you'll need, especially if you'll be mailing the piece.
• BUDGET In order to ensure that the project falls within your budget, the costs associated with design, printing, and mailing must be estimated before a piece is put into production. An approved quote will initiate the process of obtaining a purchase order; please note that Barnard Purchasing requires you secure a P.O. before work can be released to the printer/vendor.
2. Reviewing the design proofs
The Print & Production Department will provide you with up to three design proofs, free of charge.
• Review the first proof.
Depending on the size of your project, it could take anywhere from two days to two weeks for you to receive the first design proof. This is your opportunity for large-scale changes. Now is the time to make necessary revisions to the design, artwork, layout, and text.
• Review the second proof.
Usually with 2-3 days of receiving your first round of edits, we will send you a second design proof. Changes to this proof should be smaller in scale. Elements of the design, including artwork and layout, should be finalized here. You should also review the text for any additional edits that need to be made.
• Review the third and final proof.
This is your opportunity to cross every 't' and dot every 'i'. Here, you'll want to review the text one last time to make sure everything is perfect. You will usually have one more opportunity to make corrections (with the printer's proof; see below), but changes at that stage are often made for a fee (assessed by the printer). Please note: we do not provide proofreading services, so catching mistakes before the publication is sent to print is your responsibility.
What if we've gone through three rounds of edits & my project is still not done?
If additional revisions are required beyond the third design proof, we will turn the project over to one of our freelance designers. The designer will work with you directly to finalize the project, but you/your department will be billed for this service. (Freelance designers typically charge between $50-$75/hour.)
3. Review the printer's proof
If your project is being printed by an off-campus printer, you'll receive a printer's proof for review. This is your opportunity to see exactly how your publication will look once it's been printed, and your absolute last chance to change anything (again, usually, at this stage, for a fee). If your project is being printed on-campus by Document Services, production director Lisa Buonaiuto will review and sign-off on the printer's proof.

"Spygate" is alive and well.
"Spygate" is alive and well.
I can't blame. The way Goodell handled that whole situation was shady and unfair. He basically just swept it under the rug with no kind investigation. And if I am correct, he destoyed the evidence brought before him so even if he or another commissioner wanted to investigate, they couldn't. Really bad!
Until that situation gets properly investigated there will always be a cloud over the Patriots dynasty and that Super Bowl.

LSU defensive ends Lavar Edwards, No. 89, and Barkevious Mingo watch the video screen on the scoreboard during the final moments against Florida Saturday in Gainesville, Fla. Florida won 14-6.(Associated Press)
Last Modified: Saturday, October 06, 2012 11:05 PM
By Scooter Hobbs / American Press
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — LSU can put the accusations of being overrated to rest now.
The biggest question as the previously fourth-ranked Tigers trudged out of The Swamp at dusk Saturday was whether they'll be rated at all.
But welcome back, anyway, Florida, after ending the nation's longest regular-season winning streak at 18 games.
The unbeaten Gators (5-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) dominated the second half against a hapless LSU offense and a tiring Tigers defense for a 14-6 victory.
"We've got to get a lot better," said LSU linebacker Kevin Minter, who certainly did his part with 20 tackles (one shy of the school record) including two sacks, another for a loss, and a forced fumble.
There was only one of him, however.
"I think our football team is sick — sick with the knowledge that they could have played better," LSU coach Les Miles said.
They didn't look well, for sure, and it was only partly because of a second-half epidemic of cramps that kept the training staff busy carting off Tigers left and right.
But that was about the only way the Tigers' defense could get off the field after a dominating first half in which they managed a 6-0 lead.
"Sadly, our stamina did not hold up," said defensive end Sam Montgomery.
The Gators, who've trailed at the half of three of their four SEC victories, controlled the ball for just over 20 minutes of the second half and outrushed LSU 160-12 after halftime while getting a pair of 12-yard scoring runs from Mike Gillislee.
"We just gave up too many yards and couldn't get off (the field)," defensive end Barkevious "KeKe" Mingo said.
Neither team moved it much in the first half, although the Tigers opened the game with their best of drive of the day to get one field goal and got another just before halftime.
Then it was all Gators, who sandwiched two long scoring drives around the pivotal LSU mistake of the game to take complete control.
The Gators drove 85 yards midway into the third quarter, mostly on the ground, for Gillislee's first score and had LSU backed up after the ensuing kickoff.
But Zach Mettenberger escaped the ever-present Gator pressure to connect on a 56-yard pass to Odell Beckham to apparently get LSU back in the game after he was ruled down near the Gators' 25-yard line.
But only for a moment. A replay review showed Beckham was stripped of the ball by Matt Elam with Gators teammate De'Ante Saunders recovering.
End of rally.
Florida put together another ground-oriented 77-yard drive for Gillislee's second touchdown.
"The opportunities we had, if we had kept possession on the (Beckham) reception in the second half, certainly could have made a difference in the game," Miles said.
"Potentially, yeah," said Mettenberger. "But at that point we should have already had more points on the board."
So maybe not.
The Tigers, who managed eight first downs and were 1-for-13 converting third downs, would still have had to get into the end zone.
LSU hasn't scored a touchdown in its last seven quarters against SEC teams and has one in the last 12 dating to the last year's Bowl Championship Series fiasco with Alabama.
LSU was plagued with poor field position most of Saturday's game, but didn't do much with a golden opportunity just before halftime.
The Tigers' fifth sack of Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel jarred loose the ball and Mingo tracked it down at the Florida 7-yard line.
But LSU settled only for Drew Alleman's second field goal and a 6-0 lead after a gain of 3 yards, an incompletion and a trick play that was blown up from the start.
Backup running back Terrence Magee was apparently going to recreate the jump pass that former Gators Tim Tebow made famous here against LSU six years ago. But tight end Nic Jacobs couldn't get off the line and Magee was smothered.
"There's no excuses," said Mettenberger, who under heavy duress completed 11 of 25 passes for 158 yards. "We've got to execute better offensively."
Florida had 16 yards rushing at the half, but Gators head coach Will Muschamp, noting that it was skewered by losses on sacks, made the decision to stay on the ground in the second half.
"The vertical passing game wasn't there because they are really good," Muschamp said. "We needed to run the ball first and then (if needed) we'll move on to other things.
"We never really had to get to that."

I've been an Apple fan-girl for more than a decade, so no one is more surprised than I am at how much I've enjoyed playing with Samsung's phones at their last two launches. However, while I had a very positive initial reaction to last summer's Samsung Galaxy S III, I wasn't completely persuaded to leave the Apple culture behind at that point — I've become very comfortable with my Apple devices, there's been considerable financial investment in peripherals, and moving from IO6 to Jelly Bean required a small learning curve I wasn't yet prepared to undertake.
The Samsung Galaxy Note II has won me over, though. I think I'm ready to make the jump!

On Deadline, Part the Third: Now for the Top Three of my Top 10 stories
Original post made by Jay Thorwaldson, editor emeritus, on Mar 14, 2011
My Number 3 top news story: In mid-1966 I was reassigned from the Mountain View bureau of the Times to one of the main "beats" -- Palo Alto, then deeply divided over growth issues (then as now?).
After my first meeting, Editor Al Bodi advised me that it was important not just to list what happened at a meeting but how it happened. So I paid special attention to "how."
Then on Halloween 1966 a fist-fight nearly broke out between two feisty council members, hefty Bob Debs and compact Bob Cooley, on opposite sides of the growth-no growth debate in town. It was a full-blown "how" story. City Manager George Morgan physically kept them from going into the garden area to duke it out, as I stood scribbling notes a few feet away and wondering who would win. But they were pulled apart, shaking fists.
Bodi in an editorial called for putting all members of the council up for election at the next vote in May 1967, and a pro-growth "establishment" group took him up on it.
The bitter, name-calling election resulted in four of the six slow-growth "residentialists" getting voted off -- including Byron Sher, who made a comeback five years later and later became a respected state Assemblyman and Senator. Only council members Enid Pearson and Kirke Comstock survived the election on the residentialist side.
Number 2 top story is closely related to Number 3: In the aftermath of 1967, moderate residentialists regrouped and by the mid-1970s a truce was declared, ending the local "two-party system," involving former council members Larry Klein (now back on the council) and Mike Cobb.
But a second concern had arisen: the future of Skyline Ridge and foothills, being eyed hungrily by developers. A survey by Fadlo and Barbara Mousalem, which I reported in the Times, surprisingly showed strong support for increasing taxes to prevent that.
City planning officials started exploring ways to slow down growth, using zoning and regulations limiting houses on steeper slopes and requiring shallow slopes below housing pads, but they wouldn't acknowledge those as growth-control measures. A local piano teacher started badgering me about covering the five-hour meetings more thoroughly. I finally replied in self defense that the ideas were disingenuous and were weak anyway because a pro-growth future council could rescind them in 30 days.
One day Bodi called me into his office and (having talked to a foothills landowner or developer) took off angrily after the slope-related proposals. I agreed. I told him that I'd told this emotional woman that if they truly wanted to preserve the hills they should do what people did in the East Bay in 1933: Vote to create a park district and buy the land at fair market value. I noted that my dad had been a stock broker and said the magic words: "That's the American Way."
A slow smile spread across Bodi's face, and he said something like, "Yeah. Draft me an editorial." So on Feb. 16, 1970, the Times came out with a modest attack on the regulation-approach and suggested creating a district that would collect taxes and buy and preserve land in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. San Mateo rejected the plan, but Santa Clara decided to move ahead, and southern San Mateo County was later annexed by petition.
The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District has now amassed nearly 60,000 acres and created hundreds of miles of hiking, biking and equestrian trails -- replacing the barbed-wire-lined Skyline Boulevard of my youth. The power of the press.
At the district's 20th anniversary dinner I told the story of my early conversations with its principal founder, Nonette Hanko, and I introduced conservative Bodi (to his glee) as the true father of the district -- it was HIS editorial; I was just a reporter drafting it.
Finally, my NUMBER ONE top story of the past half century:
The antiwar and counterculture tensions of the late 1960s spilled over into a series of bombings and window-breaking attacks on the Peace Center in Palo Alto, Kepler's Bookstore in Menlo Park (founder Roy Kepler was a longtime Quaker pacifist), the storefront office of the counterculture Midpeninsula Free University, and liberal Palo Alto Councilman Comstock, after he proposed a local gun-control law.
A pall of fear clouded the community, or parts of it. Then in early 1969 I was contacted by an individual involved in the counterculture, an illegal alien from Canada -- which struck me as odd -- who became a multi-millionaire after founding a high-tech business. He slipped me a remarkable document.
I was sworn to secrecy, as he said the Palo Alto police already were investigating the highly detailed information in the multi-page letter, written by someone named Joe Dobiss. The Mercury's Ron Miller had also been slipped a copy. The letter listed nine individuals. It had driver's license numbers, gun serial numbers for a collection of guns and personality profiles.
Nothing happened for about two weeks. Then, pushing a bit, I joined a regular morning coffee session of Palo Alto detectives in the back room of a downtown restaurant. Walking out with Lt. Phil Ray I innocently asked if he'd ever heard of a Joe Dobiss. Oh yeah, he replied, adding that Dobiss had written a letter listing people but it was discounted after Dobiss was interviewed and was determined to be 50-50 (unstable). Embargo broken.
Dubious, I called Menlo Park Police Chief Victor Cyzanckis and asked what he thought of the Dobiss letter, as numerous articles had quoted comments about how closely the departments were collaborating.
"What letter?" Cizanckas asked. I told him. "I want it," he said. I said he could have a copy if he included me inside the investigation, and 10 minutes later I gave a copy to a Menlo Park officer in front of the Times building on Lytton Avenue.
Cizanckas called back within 20 minutes, saying one of his officers knew one of the persons listed, an attendant at a local service station. He created a fake letter of reprimand for young Officer Armand Lareau.
Lareau showed the letter to the attendant and griped bitterly about his "damned liberal chief." Thus he was drawn into the secret group -- the only case of which I'm aware where a uniformed police officer was able to infiltrate a secret terrorist group.
I met with Cizanckas every morning at 7 a.m. to go over what Lareau had found out, an incredible two-week top-secret time. Only I, the city editor and the editor knew what was going on.
From a City Hall source, I learned that Comstock was going to raise the issue at a Monday-night council meeting, demanding action -- and very likely scaring the group into silence and inactivity. On my own I stopped by Comstock's house (closely watched by the FBI, I knew -- I could see the hood of the FBI car sticking out from behind a hedge just down the street, like a billboard). I told Comstock that if he raised the matter in public he would likely scare the group into laying low, so he backed off.
On Valentine's Day night in 1969 police agencies staged a multi-community raid and rounded everyone up. Palo Alto cops were horrified that I, a reporter, was in the back row of the pre-raid briefing.
The following day the Times had a "NAZI TERROR NET" banner headline, and sold 1,800 more copies than usual with the multi-page story. I went to bed after a 36-hour stint of covering and writing the raids, and coordinating photos.
It was surely the best "scoop" of my career.
I followed up with an interview with Roy Kepler, and visited one of the group, John Mirto, in jail. He initially wanted $500, which I laughed off. But he told me his side anyway. He resided in College Terrace, and police said he had enough kegs of black powder in his house to blow up part of his block, at least.
I became kind-of friends with a godfather to the group, Jos Cooney, who didn't know about the bombings. He used to sit behind me at meetings and at an award ceremony, which freaked out my wife. He had a wonderful Irish brogue, and once said, "If there's iver anythin' I can do for ya, gi' me a call."
"Thanks, Jos. I'll call you.

I remember those frightening days well. You have so much inside information that the general public had few or no references for. I remember that at one point there were threats or rumored threats to the Palo Alto Unitarian Church.
A book detailing your observations of and reflections on the spooks targeting Peninsula liberals would be of real service.

Jay, thanks for your stories. They bring back a lot of memories. I don't think people today realize how contentious things were in Palo Alto politics during those years. The election of 1967 was a classic. The "Establishment" was sure to loose, but cleverly put up a ballot measure to recall the entire Council. 21 people ran for 11 seats and the "Establishment" came out on top of the "Residentialists". Here's a link that even quotes you about the fight between Debs and Cooley: Web Link

closure of the yacht harbor.

Thanks, Dawn, for the correction on Roy. I knew he was an agnostic but thought he'd come from a Quaker background.
Ronald L.'s stories are important, but I was just going into high school when the mid-1950s flood occurred. The Oregon Expressway vote in 1963 was a bitter fight, but I was working for other newspapers at the time. I did cover the closure of the Palo Alto Yacht Harbor, which I always felt was more of a political grudge match left over from the 1960s as an environmental issue -- although there were some important environmental (and cost-of-dredging) concerns as well.
But the harbor was a real challenge to use, with a narrow channel and mostly mud during low tides. One night I spent six or eight hours aboard a sailboat awaiting the incoming tide.

Cracker Barrel: Eye-opener
For most of us, most of the time, things go along without mishap. Once in a while we might bump into something and come away with a bruise or slip with a knife and slice a finger, but normally we expect our days to unfold without incident.
Until, abruptly, they don't.
For me, breaking an ankle was one of those times. Since it happened, I've learned all sorts of interesting things, including a whole new respect for the challenges faced by the handicapped.
You wouldn't think there's much of a connection between the ankle and the eyeball, but breaking the one has definitely opened the other.
Until your foot or hand or some other body part doesn't behave like it should, you can't feel a whole lot of sympathy for those who struggle with such setbacks. But once things go haywire, you begin to understand some of the realities others confront.
The height, for instance, of a step or a curb or a threshold. Once you've come to rely on crutches or a walker to move around, grade changes like these become serious obstacles.
And as my sister, Beth, a veteran social worker warned, "They taught us years ago that the biggest
danger with crutches are throw rugs. Beware!"
In a pinch, you could probably make your way on hands and knees, but now that you're past the toddler stage, you have your dignity to consider.
Ramps, too, take on a new appearance. Since the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act and the subsequent construction of countless thousands of ramps, you'd probably consider the issue long settled. But in my newly gimped-up state, I've grown gun-shy of angled surfaces. When you're at the mercy of a walker or wheelchair, it doesn't take much of a downward tilt to make you feel like you're in a NASCAR race.
Another fact about ramps is that some of them snake around like mountain roads with hairpin turns. And as silly as it might sound, going up a ramp can actually prove more bowel clenching than going down one, given the fact that gravity is indifferent to whether you're facing forward or backward. There's nothing quite like the start of a rearward roll to get the weary old heart a-hammerin'.
Nor are the struggles of the handicapped confined to ambulation. There are the simple acts of rising and sitting, the unplanned lunge for a ringing phone, the irksome difficulty of getting dressed and undressed, and a whole panoply of bathroom issues.
Suffice it to say that tasks you long ago stopped giving conscious thought to now rise up to vex the spirit and turn segments of each day into recurrent irritations. It's only when you stop to consider how much worse things could be that you regain a proper perspective.
Broken bones will heal. Sprained joints will regain flexibility. Stitched tissues will grow back together. Cuts and bruises are soon forgotten.
For those whose infirmities are permanent and unrelieved, I have a newly deepened empathy and respect, and can only hope that somehow, someday, your burdens will be lightened.

text: I started 2 lang. hives in early spring. One of them has 2 deeps now and is doing very well. The other was started a few weeks later and abscounded on me a few days after the queen came out of cage. It had a screen bottom board with no tray under it. The other had a tray. Both were packages of italians but the last was a russian queen. Well I had a +$100 show and contributed to the feral bee pop. I read up during the winter but keep learning more and especially since I found this site. I find trying to get bees free exciting. I did a cutout on a small hive with a novice trying to get back into beekeeping. (He just lost both of his hives afterwards to a flash flood a month ago)! Found out afterwards someone sprayed wasp spray before we got there and it was a loss. Started reading more here on the swarms section. Learned a lot. Anyway getting back to trapouts. I have a hogan trap. 4 homemade nucs out as traps(lemon grass oil only-no access to old drawn comb yet). One moderately strong hive. Relatives told me about 2 trees with honey bees. I was wanting to go into winter with 2 strong hives but at least have one now. Was going to split this hive next spring to get start on 2nd hive. Both trees have cavities knee to waist high and seem very populated and still bringing back pollen. I read where Mr Hogan replied to some posts and said to wait till spring and I see why. Cash cows too. I'm trying to hold back and wait. New hive and limited resources for drawn comb and open brood(eggs). I use Hive Tracks and inspect every 2 weeks. One tree is about 1 1/2 foot dia and other maybe 3 feet dia. These bees have been here a few yrs each I've been told. I don't want to eliminate whole hives but maybe get starts and requeen or if not too late let them raise own. My queen in my hive is VSH hygenic italian doing a great job. I'm the kind of person that just has to do things now and can't wait! I will though. Don't want to weaken my good hive either and keep it strong for winter. Maybe I'll have enough drawn comb etc. next spring and go from there? Was going to split anyway but instead use resources from this hive to do trapouts Hogan style? Do swarms happen in late summer and get lucky and catch one? I'll feed all I have to if I get a small one or nuc size. @ nucs are in area of the hives in trees and also near a pollinator with a trailer of bees. That trailer is a 1/2 mile from large tree with bees. I believe I just have to be patient. At least I know where I can get some if they make it thru winter. I enjoy reading the replies from all the experienced beeks here. I wish I read these forums before I got started in beekeeping. There is a bee club about 60 miles from me and meet once/month. Haven't made it yet due to work and kids baseball tournies lately. I'm 55yrs old and an ex-merchant mariner engineer. Came on land in 96 and got hitched and started a family out here in the country side of upper nw Tn. Got gardens and enjoy purple martin landlording too on 3 acres.Work in a powerhouse now. As soon as I get home I sit and watch the bees now. My wife likes Pintrist and I told her about all the rewards of beekeeping. She didn't like the part about using up her sugar when I got started! Hopefully I'll have some honey next year for her! Maybe I should of posted this in beekeeping 101? See you all later.

What are we raising?
Original post made by Concerned about our kids, Harvest Park Middle School, on Oct 27, 2011
Am I the only one that believes this is excessive? Are we not spoiling our children by allowing them to be so extreme? What is going to happen to them when they go out in the real world and realize that they are not rewarded by this type of behavior?
My daughter and I had a long conversation about how some teenagers were being allowed to act as adults and that this type of behavior is not appropriate for 16 year olds. But it bothers me that parents are allowing their children to act in this way.

what truly bothers me is the excessive use of alcohol and drugs by teens...that is truly frightening...especially if they are also driving while intoxicated or high...
good question...have fun with your kids...you're lucky they have time to grow and learn about this coo-coo world...

There are killjoys everywhere.
My kids (boys and a girl) all did this stuff and had a lot of fun with it. They are all now in their 20s, college grads, all working good jobs (grateful for that!) and one is married....they had fun being creative in asking and being asked to dances. As parents, we always knew what the "plan" was and we helped out and were there when the surprise took place. It was just plain fun.

a resident of California Reflections
on Oct 27, 2011 at 9:52 pm
What's inappropriate behavior at age 16? Teach your kids to be prudent and, if the urge is so strong, to protect themselves. It is possible to be a responsible 16 year-old.

I just asked one of my 20-somethings about the rose petals being called "sex petals" and he's never heard of that. It may just be this one particular group of kids using that expression which is not so good, I agree. But that doesn't mean that other teenagers can't have fun with learning to be respectfully romantic. Teenagers learn about life and I agree with Petey - they will fall in love in the next few years - and kindness, respect, consideration and romantic tokens like flowers are good things.

It is Pleasanton! Everything is a little over the top! With all the media influence it's no wonder that our children are trying to "out do" each other. I personally think it's too much. Like everything else, the pendulum will swing back and more modest declarations of "teen love" will be back in style.

Back in the olden days people got married at 16 and had to work and raise a family. Now a days our 18 year old sons and daughters are sent off to fight a war that isn't even ours. So if some teens and their parents want to go overboard let them, why does it bother you, you aren't paying for it. If you think it is a bad influence on your child, then talk to your child and try to teach them right from wrong, not that I am saying the others are wrong it is just their choice, which last time I heard this is a free country and as long as they aren't breaking the law them leave people be.

This post is ridiculous.
I was a Pleasanton teen! Now i attend college and am one year away from becoming a teacher. I did all of the things above and it has not in anyway made me "unprepared" for the real world. Pleasanton is a great place to grow up and as teenagers we are very lucky to be growing up there. Leave the age group alone! They are going to be more prepared for the real world than you think, and also just build trust with your kids. My parents trusted me and so I knew not to do things that would break that trust.
Leave the teens alone! They are lucky to be getting the great education Pleasanton gives, and the social life for teens it gives.

It is pretty ridiculous, and yes, Pleasanton folks have helped create this culture of excess. My son asked his date the old fashioned way, with flowers at school and a simple question. Nothing over the top, just simple and respectful; appropriate behavior for his 14 years. Reading these posts just further reenforces the reputation that Ptown and other communities like it have - self-absorbed,parents making excuses for excessive behavior, justifying their children's actions, whatever goes. I just hope that regular people stick to their beliefs and encourage their kids to act like kids, and teach them to live within their means and not try to be something they are not; adults.

Students used to decorate lockers to ask each other to dances. No more lockers so they decorate cars or rooms. My kids are also Amador, now college grads, one of them covered his girlfriends room with roses to ask her to prom 10 years ago. My boyfriend covered my apartment with roses when I was in college 30 years ago.

If you weren't YOUR child's parent, rather an unsuspecting person having coffee at Tully's on any given Friday after school.....
You would hear 12-13 year olds talking openly about haveing sex, XTC and often smoking!
NOT "loosers" or contiuation high schoolers... Athetes, cheer leaders, the "popular" crowd!
Funny to see the educated and "proper" mommys pull right up and stop traffic in massive Escalades and such, talking on their cell phones etc. Totally, clueless!~
Pleasanton is infested with a major drug problem, that why there are all the discussion groups with Pleasanton Police there.
Sex is what it is, sex! Hit and miss, no matter how good, how educated or wealthy parents are, it's a numbers game.
Open communication with your kid's, education on protection as far as sex and god only knows the answer to the perscription drug epidemic.

I have to tell you I agree with this nonsense about kids today. I heard a kid say drinking beer was cool. My neighbors daughter talks on her iPhone all day. I know I didn't move to Pleasanton to have my kids exposed to nonsense. My kids have been raised properly and don't have the bad habits like other kids. I mean, one kid that came to our house said his parents allowed him to watch South Park. I'm astounded.
Please, let's keep Pleasanton safe for our kids. I know I do. If you think your kids are watching TV programs that have bad words, or talk about things that don't belong in mixed public, please tell their parents. Also you can join our Church Support Group that straightens out wayward kids on their way to the dark side. We can do something if we all do our share.

A couple of phrases in this post caught most of my attention...
"I've been bothered by some stories I've heard around town ..." and "I had a long conversation about how some teenagers were being allowed to act as adults ..."
Of all the stories out there that we hear everyday, this poster is bothered by "some stories". Clearly there is some moral standard behind this botheredness, which may not be shared by all.
Next I was astounded to learn the poster clearly feels that parents "allow" or disallow teenagers to act as adults.... When did this level of control over teenagers come into existence? Over the many decades I have lived I missed the point in time this occurred. Amazing how things change (or not!).
(Furthermore, don't we WANT them to act like adults?)

That is the most rediculous thing I've ever heard. You should be more worried about the drugs under the bridge downtown, kids hanging out in parks late at night, or the crazy amount of under-age drinking. Not the fun, innocent tradition of asking a girl to homecoming.
I asked all my friends(I'm in college)and kids I know who are still in high school..not one of them know what "sex petals" are. Who in the world did you talk too? Obviously the kids you know are the ones we should be worried about. Not everyone else. Dont be so up-tight and worry about the bigger matters.
Homecoming is a fun harmless tradition. Boys spend weeks coming up with posters, rhymes, scavenger hunts and costumes to make the girl they are asking feel SUPER special.
I really think thats the least of our worries.
But every party needs a pooper..

Studebaker was on the ropes when its president, Sherwood Egbert, placed a call in 1961 to the famed industrial designer, Raymond Loewy, and asked him to create a sports car. The car was created by Loewy's team in his hometown of Palm Springs, California. Only when they had a solidified look did Loewy travel to South Bend, Indiana, to present the package to Egbert and his executives.
That car, of course, became the Avanti. The one said to have been Loewy's personal car, ordered by the designer with custom touches, will go up for sale on December 11 at the Los Angeles Modern Auctions sale with a pre-auction estimate of $60,000 to $80,000. The Avanti has the R2 supercharged 289-cu.in. V-8 and fender badges indicating its former ownership by Loewy. According to the auction house, the car was previously sold at the McCormick auction in Palm Springs in 1986, following Loewy's death. A preview begins Thursday at the auction house's showroom, located at 16145 Hart Street in Van Nuys. For more information, call 323-904-1950 or visit LAModern.com.
As a kid living just 30 Miles from South Bend and 60 miles from Auburn Indiana, I followed Studebaker and Auburn Cord and Duesenberg events and read everything I could find about both companies. In 1947 I had my first tour of the Studerbaker plant and fell in love with the automobile business, although I had difficulity with the very victorian Studebaker main office building, it just did not fit the image of their vehicles.
Skip ahead to 1955, and I'm working for Alex Tremilus at Ford Styling along with a group of trainees from Art Center in that group was Tom Kellog who was a very good designer. Tom returned to California and I lost track of him until he resurfacerd as one of the design team designing the Avanti. I see traces of Tom's design influence in the Avanti, and I still enjoy seeing Avantis at shows and on the road, the design has aged well. Howard Payne retired Ford Design Manager email@example.com
Mr. Payne: Great story! Thanks for telling it to us! I agree the Avanti is one of the most timeless designs that has aged well. I wonder what else may be special features of this car due to it's Raymond Loewy ownership.
Avanti owners could compare trim differences at http://lamodern.auctionserver.net/view-auctions/catalog/id/7/lot/2598/from/find-lots/
I will second the comment that the Avanti has aged well. It is still very stylish. Additionally, it is not so complicated that a person would be afraid to work on either the engine or chassis.
It's stunning but the Loewy I really want is the 1953 Srudebaker Starlight or any of the Coupes, which are gorgeous. And if memory serves I read somewhere inHemmings that he was not the orginator of that design.
Stay tuned. Working on a post on that now…
That's correct, the 53 Coupes (Starlite & Starliner) were designed by Robert Bourke (exterior) and Holden Koto (interior).
As owner of a '64 Avanti R-2, the "timeless" comments really resonate. While the design often elicits a love it or hate it comment, those that appreciate the car are truly fascinated by the design. Ours is a "survivor" with original paint and fixes as needed, at 69,000 original miles. Most interesting comment came from a 25 year old soccer mom type at a gas station who said she became enamoured with the Avanti as a little girl when a neighbor weekly exercised his Avanti past her home. I bought my car on e-bay….realizing a 40-year dream from my high school days….
I still regret selling my 63 R1 with factory-installed R3 heads and 3.54 gears. Not the fastest car, but it exuded style. Overhead console; roll bar; burst-proof MB locks; front discs; padded dash and ergonomic cockpit- it was technically advanced for its day too. Thanks to Mr. Loewy for leaving an automotive icon.
Its a tie between the Avanti and the 1960 Plymouths for the
ugliest cars ever.
So said the blind man. Granted the angle pictured here (straight on side view, no angle) is the most UN-flattering angle possible… looks a little 'beak-ish'… but ANY other angle is pure art.
Cliff, you are off by a few years. Nothing was ever as hideous as The Edsel…pick a year. GROSS!
"Remember that Beauty Is In The Eye of the Beholder".
As a 15 year old teenager I saw my first Avanti up close. I was walking home from High School one early afternoon in Baltimore and while crossing the Old Memorial Stadium parking lot I saw my first Black R2 Avanti. To me as a teenager it hottest thing I had ever seen. Later that week I found out that the car belonged to a new hot rookie pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles. His name was Wiley Bunker. Today many years later I still own a lot of old collectible cars. Shelby's, XKE Jag's and C1 & C2 Corvettes. But the one car that has stuck in my mind the most over these past years was that Black R2 Avanti with California plates sitting on that lot.
You sure you don't mean the '61 Plymouth, Cliff? Homely as all get-out but I love him just the same – Edsels too!
I think the only problem with the 61 plymouth is the grille. The rest of the car is nice to my eyes, and certainly not freaky awful.
You had that pitcher's name wrong, it was Wally Bunker. He won 19 games for the O's in '64 & won a World Series game for them in '66:
You are correct.I should have checked the spelling. Especially being a long time Orioles fan.
I know the feeling, we too left many nose prints on the showroom window of Wolf Studebaker in Tonawanda Ny on the way home from school!
To Cliff,,,, Count me in the group who think you are wrong on that count. But if you were to include that '48 Nash shown on these pages a few days ago, I might agree
The front tire looks almost flat…
The tie for the ugliest cars ever could be just about anything on the road. I think the Avanti is a very stylish car, I also liked the 60 Plymouth. Nothing could be uglier than a current Audi, Hyundai, or 99% of whatever new car is being made today.
Sweet car. Loewy also owned a number of later Avanti II's done by Altman and Newman. One as I remember was ordered with a tweed interior. The Avanti is timeless and a milestone car. Of course folks forget that it was the second modern American coupe followed by the Mustang, Camero and others. The first American coupe ten years before the design of the Avanti is the Muntz Jet! Also the Avanti is one of a few cars exhibited at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France for design excellence.
As Jim says – the Avanti is a love it or hate it styling exercise. I personally love it! 20-years ago I saw a beautiful black 64 in Long Beach that was for sale. I was short about $5000 to buy it. I really wish I could have scraped up that money! However, after the bills are paid…..
Beautiful car!
I think they are beautiful! A friend has one, it has a 455 Olds engine and a hydramatic, but I have never seen nor heard of him blasting off with it- – – If I had it I wouldn't be able to resist it!
I seem to recall that Virgil Exner designed the 1953 car, at least the apparently accurate story was that the Studebaker design department gave Exner the correct dimensions and Loewy incorrect ones, in any event Loewy fired Exner who went to work for Studebaker for a time before moving to Chrysler.
Daniel can check with his new columnist Bob Palma to make sure I have the story correct if he wishes.
John, you have the Exner/Loewy story correct, except that it was the 1947 model. AFAIK, Exner didn't work for Stude after that. The 1953 model was based on a Loewy Associates show car that was rationalized to the Starlight/Starliner coupes, and the sedan line was styled to match.
Principal credit for the 1953 Stude should go to Robert Bourke, working for Loewy Associates. Loewy fired Exner in 1947 for going behind his back with a counter-proposal for the new Stude, which Studebaker chose over the Loewy design, and hired Ex right away as company stylist.
As a teenager, almost old enough to drive, I still remember walking into the local Studebaker dealership and seeing the Avanti when it was introduced. It was a riveting moment. I eventually bought one in the 1970s and still have it. To truly appreciate the lines of the car, one needs to wash it by hand.
Raymond Loewy deserves plenty of credit for bringing together all of the team's designs, talents and efforts. No doubt he tweaked and influenced the styling and ultimately approved the Avanti. Some of his personal customs were over the top, including a '40s Continental Mark I that truly gilded the lily. Fortunately, it looks like he didn't tamper much with his personal Avanti. The outstanding Avanti owes it's existence to Loewy, as well as his team. Loewy & Associates' styling of the "53 Studebaker coupes remains exceptionally beautiful today, nearly 60 years later. Due to his influence, many brilliant industrial designs were created, not just for automobiles, but for many other products as well.
Nobody mentioned the later 'modern' Avanti's. As far as looks, it's like deciding if you like the early or late Corvair, and as far as 'so ugly it's gross', look at the fender sweeps of the Dodge, and the trim. As a whole thing it doesn't work, but somebody sweated over those sweeping curves, as weird as they may be!
This is the Avanti with the hideous "V" crest on the front. Loewy was infamous for ruining a clean design. Kellogg's Avanti and Bourke's Starliner were no exception. According to both designers, it took much cajoling to get the old man to resist adding his tacky add-on's. The production Avanti faired better than the Starliner, which Bourke thought carried too many Loewy "trinkets".
I enjoyed seeing this car AGAIN ! I was the Second owner of THIS car. I purchased in the late 1960's (I think 1968). This is when Lowey bought a new Avanti II from Avanti Motor Corp. I was in the LA Studebaker Dealership of Frost and French talking to the older gentleman behind the counter asking if he knew where I could buy an Avanti. I was young and he replied "Son, you have a tough chore ahead for you".
Then he went back to opening his mail. I started looking at a couple of Studebakers that were on the showroom floor (older Lark and Hawk). Several minutes later He said loudly "come back over here son". I walked over and he handed me a letter he had just opened. It was from Avanti Motor Corp and was signed by Nat Altman. It stated that Lowey had bought an Avanti II and wanted to trade in his Avanti and wanted to know IF Frost and French would place it on consignment.
Lowey drove it up from Palm Springs the next Thursday. I went there aftre work and was told they were selling "as is" except they would change headliner. I brought in the requested $1,500 the following Monday and drove it home.
The Car was the same color as shown in your pic – gold, white, and silver in the depressed area above the doors. The Gold V was on the nose as shown. The metal placards with Lowey's name above the "Supercharged" placards were NOT there and were added some time much later. I took off the Gold V as I did not like it. It was in placed the trunk of the car.
I sold the car to a high school buddy about 1973. He stored it at it his house until 1992. (Could NOT have been in P.S Action in 1986). I believe it was Sold to John Myers in 1992.
That was the last I knew of it until the early 2000's. I was at the LA Auto show (2001, 02 or 03) and they had a newly styled Avanti
There. I was there with the same high school buddy that bought the car from me. We talked with a younger kid and told him we had both owned Loewy's Avanti. A few minutes later an older gentleman came up to us and ask IF we were to ones that claimed to have owned Loewy's Avanti. When we said yes
he ask us to go back to the booth and look at some pics. The pics had parts taken off as if restoration was in progress. When he first opened the book to just any page, he ask if there was anything we could identify. I quickly, seeing the dash said yes – this is the dash from Lowey's car. He ask how I knew it was from
LOWEY'S CAR. I pointed out the speedometer was in KPH not MPH. When he ask what else I saw, I ask him IF there was a pic of the brass placard on the driver's side of the dash, it was in French but easily readable. It said to the effect – April 1962 Riverside Raceway California 277 KPH.
This made him a believer that we had owned the car. He took our names and the fact that Lowey had traded this in on his Avanti II and Frost & French had sold it.
I would love to know who has the car now, I could add some info
on the cars history for him.
I have never owned an Avanti, but have much admired them
since i first saw pictures in the spring of '63. I would be
most interested in more info regarding the 277 kph run at
Riverside Raceway.
In my business, I get to work on many Studes and an
occasional Avanti. They have indeed aged well and
are still enjoyable and often thrilling cars to drive. Thanks
to the developers of modern radial tires!
Several years ago I owned a '58 "Packard" 4 dr.sedan.
That was ugly. The Avanti's lines are very very good
except for the too vertical windshield.
Who bought Raymond Loewy's 1963 Avanti in 2011?
Do you know where it is now?

Very well located at south Manhattan.
Super close to Metro line 6 Green.
A lot of space in side.
The shower was hard to find out the best way to use, but in the and worked well.
A good place to stay with friends.
I stayed with my two children and we had a really nice time. Mike was very helpful and kind. The room was clean, we had everything we needed even though it was quite small, but we were expecting that and it wasn't a problem. We used the room as a base to sight-see and the location was brilliant - so close to the subway and we all really enjoyed being in Chinatown, with great restaurants nearby. The only thing worth mentioning is that there are a lot of steep steps up to the apartment so it wouldn't be good for anyone who has an issue with climbing stairs as there is no lift. For us, it was no problem.
We really enjoyed our stay, even though the room was very small. It was crowded for two people.However, the apartment was clean, the price was good, and Mike was a great host - we can certainly recommend this accommodation to those who just need somewhere to sleep.
Room (clean idem for the bathroom) ok for one week holiday apart from the noise of the air conditionning machine of the neighbour. Practical kitchen for preparing the breakfast. Nice area close to Chinatown.
Henry Street lies in the middle of China Town. You get an authentic insight inton the life of the derscendants of the chinese emigrants.
China Town lies not far from the financial destrict, so you can reach it by walking easily. But it is also very easy to use the public traffic system from here.
You can reach every point of NYC from Henry Street within minutes. Our host was friendly and it was possible to reach him every time by telefon which helped us a lot by arriving from JFK airport to Henry Street. Prize was OK. If you do not more than sleeping and taking a shower next morning you are right here- NYC do not sleep so what about expensive luxury. In summary I give 4 of 5 points. I will come back...Peter and Chris
Mike our host met us on our arrival and provided us with the essentials for getting into the city.
His apartment was in the best location for talking a walk by the Hudson or hopping on the subway Uptown
if you want a bed just somewhere to crash after long days threading through the city - Mike's place is it :-)
This room is perfect for 2 people in a nice clean aprtment on the Lower East side. Mike was a nice host who helped out if you had any questions. Would recommend it to everyone.
Mike who lives There was really nice and friendly. The apartment has a good location!
We enjoyed our stay in this shared appartement: kind host, located in a calm safe neighbourhood (in/nearby chinatown), 1min walk from subway station. All in all a good price/quality ratio!
We've stayed at the Henry Street (Manhattan) apartment for 16 days. It's located in a safe neighborhood next to Chinatown. Large supermarket (open till 1 pm) is nearby as well as many (cheap) places to eat. The nearest metrostation is East broadway which is only a thirty seconds walk away.
We (a couple) stayed in the smallest room which is in fact really small. However, it's mainly just for sleeping and storing your stuff and for that it is enough. The bed is of great quality. We've had some problems with air circulation (there is none, because of the close next door building) but the installation of an airco solved this. Bathroom is small as well, but functions great. There's a fridge, tv, microwave-oven etc to be used. Overall great and clean apartment with a very friendly host. Expect the real thing, it's NY and a real NY apartment. Just as advertised. We will recommend this place, especially over all the expensive hotels and gross hostels.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Beautiful furnished apartment in a central location, very comfortable beds! Is above a pub but you have not affected.
Mooi ingericht appartement op een centrale locatie, heel comfortabele bedden! Is boven een café maar daar heb je geen hinder van.
Very nice and clean appartment in the area very close by the center of Krakow. Really enjoyed my stay there. The television receiver broke down and whas replaced immdiately, and we didn't even watch the television :D
the room was very agreable, clean and comfortable. the host was also very welcoming
The flat was very nice and conveniently located.
The only negative remark we can make is that there is no air-conditioning. It was very hot and because the windows give out to the main square and above a pub it was very noisy in the evening and night if you want to leave the windows open.
A beautifully decorated room. The landlord was very friendly and helpful. It was a little noisy because of the many tourist pubs in the place, but if you do not go to bed before 11:30, it's not as annoying. I can only recommend the hotel.
Ein sehr schön eingerichtetes Zimmer. Der Vermieter war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es war zwar etwas laut wegen der vielen Touristenkneipen an dem Platz, aber wenn man nicht vor halb 12 schlafen geht, ist es nicht so störend. Ich kann die Unterkunft nur empfehlen.
Great location, comfortable room. Would recommend to anyone
The wifi didn't work, we were given no instructions how to get there, the towels smelled so bad and the people who stayed in the same flat were not respectful to our belongings. I also asked for help with the wifi password and received no answer. It's also terribly loud. This place is great for the price and being close to the Jewish area (great night life) but you could get a hostel for even cheaper because that's pretty much what it is.
The apartment was the best!, Clean and nice in every way. It is situated in a very pleasant area with promemadavstånd from the old town / market place. Anyone who is sensitive to some loud music might be disturbed there. But I thought it was great. Everything worked fine. Greetings Eva Svedman
Lägenheten var toppenbra, rent och fint på alla sätt. Den ligger i ett mycket trivsamt område med promemadavstånd fr gamla stan/marknadsplatsen. Den som är känslig för lite musik med hög volym kanske kan bli störd där. Men jag tyckte det var toppen. Allt funkade bra. Hälsningar Eva Svedman
Beautiful apartment, well appointed and very convenient and interesting locations, we stayed in two different spaces, both were outstanding and a pleasure to stay in. Great kitchen facilities.
Very nice private space in a fantastic area. Modern, comfortable, clean and professional. Great kitchen. Would book again.

Working a super detailed badge art for BlizzCon. Here's the shoulder with base shading:
And here it is after about half an hour of painting.
Some IRL stuff bummed me out pretty bad so I'm too tired to keep going tonight. I'll post more updates tomorrow.

Assuming this is the more appropriate section to put this... Happy Halloween.
Based a picture of a dwarf I saw in a game. Made in illustrator so it is all vector art Currently rigging him with flash to animate him.
(I am aware left ear is missing. Accidentally hid the layer it was on when I exported the file XD)
Another piece of animation by yours truly, though it's really just an unfinished project. I felt it's worth showing anyway.
nice artwork to watch. Liked the fan work

Across Oregon, private hospitals and coordinated care organizations (CCOs) are working on a local level to transform the health care delivery system to bring better health, better care and lower costs to Oregonians. To provide status updates on the state's progress towards these goals, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is publishing semi-annual reports showing quality and access data, financial data, and progress toward reaching benchmarks.
The state is tracking 17 CCO incentive metrics and 16 additional state performance metrics.
