Celebrity deaths are a big deal in the media — but the stars are quickly forgotten once they're laid to rest! Their secrets aren't safe from The ENQUIRER, though. Now we dig up troubling truths and disturbing mysteries behind the tragic ends of some of the biggest names in comedy, television, music, films and sports!
JOHN RITTER: The beloved "Three's Company" star DIDN'T die from natural causes — but was MURDERED! That's the theory of a longtime friend who insists the star's death was covered up to make it appear the 54-year-old comic genius died of a supposed aortic dissection. "He died at 10:48 p.m., almost five hours after being brought to the hospital by paramedics," said the source, "but he had been sick on the set all day, with vomiting and sweats — classic symptoms for poisoning!" Top Hollywood private eye Paul Huebl says, "it's not too late to get answers. He's buried at Hollywood's Forest Lawn Memorial Park, and it would take only a few hours to quietly dig him up, perform an autopsy, look for needle marks, take toxicology samples and then rebury him!"
JOAN RIVERS: The true causes of the caustic comic's death will never be known — because the motor-mouth comic and star of "Fashion Police" wasn't given an autopsy! Joan, 81, went into cardiac arrest during a routine procedure to evaluate acid reflux at New York's Yorkville Endoscopy clinic on Aug. 28, 2014. She died on Sept. 4. Famed forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht called the failure to thoroughly investigate her death outrageous, even though Rivers' doctors have denied any wrongdoing. "When you have a death occurring like this during elective surgery, an autopsy has to be done," he insisted. But the Manhattan District Attorney's Office refused to comment on whether it was conducting a criminal probe.
JOHN LENNON: The murdered Beatle's autopsy report has never been released — leading to explosive claims the document may contain scandalous medical facts that his widow, Yoko Ono, wants to keep secret forever! On the night of Dec. 8, 1980, the 40-year-old superstar and Yoko were about to enter their historic New York City apartment building, The Dakota, when crazed stalker Mark David Chapman, 25, killed Lennon with four shots at close range from a revolver. An insider told The ENQUIRER: "While John clearly died from the horrific shooting, Yoko Ono would not allow the autopsy report to be released to the public. That means we'll never learn if alcohol or drugs — legal or illegal — were in his system when he died!"
ROBIN WILLIAMS: The comedian's death at his Tiburon, Calif., home on Aug. 11, 2014, was ruled a suicide – but an expert has claimed the investigation may have overlooked murder! According to the autopsy report, Williams, 63, who'd been prescribed a cocktail of potent medications for Parkinson's, "had enough drugs in his system to at least fall asleep," said private investgator Dan Hanks, a former technical advisor to the Marin County Sheriff. "So the scenario of drugging him first would make sense, because you can manipulate him very easily and place him in any position you want!" Hanks added there's little evidence the star died the violent death that's usually expected from a hanging. "The ligature marks are not especially demonstrative, and there was little or no hemorrhaging," he said. "That suggests he was asleep or incapacitated at the time his oxygen supply was cut off!"
MICKEY ROONEY: Eyes were raised after the Hollywood legend's passing on April 6, 2014, after a doctor signed the death certificate without an official autopsy — even though two of his daughters believe he was poisoned! Ed Winter, assistant chief medical examiner for L.A. County, admitted his office didn't conduct toxicology tests to detect any chemicals in his bloodstream, which Rooney's daughters, Kelly, 56, and Kerry, 54, suspect were present. They became suspicious after learning their dementia-stricken father signed a new will on March 11, 2014, that cut out his seven surviving biological children and basically left his entire estate to stepson Mark and his wife, Darlene. The sisters can't afford to exhume their father's body — but Rooney biographer William J. Birnes said that while their father was lying in state, Kelly "cut off a bunch of Mickey's hair. Now they have the evidence if something turns up in his hair follicles!"
CHRIS BENOIT: Shocking new autopsy evidence reveals pro wrestler Chris Benoit was suffering from fatal drug and steroid damage – and had less than a year to live when he murdered his wife and son before killing himself! After suffocating wife Nancy and their boy Daniel, 7, the wrestler hung himself at their Fayetteville, Ga., home in June 2007. Former sister-in-law Sandra Toffoloni claimed new evidence points reveals Benoit's long use of drugs and steroids damaged his heart and triggered a murderous paranoia. "The medical examiner told us Chris was on his way to death within 10 months," she said. "His heart was huge, about three times normal and ready to blow up. He had a serious drug problem. The paranoia was a direct result of abuse of steroids!"

Free Water for Fracking: B.C. Government Gives 20-Year Withdrawal Permit to Talisman
Carol Linnitt | July 30, 2011
By Carol Linnitt • Saturday, July 30, 2011 - 09:24
British Columbia is providing the gas industry with 78 million cubic meters of free water each year, according to a recent CBC article. That water, the equivalent to 31,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools, is used to hydraulically fracture, or frack, the Northeast portion of the province which is undergirded by a vast reservoir of unconventional gas.
The B.C. government has recently added another 3.65 million cubic meters of water per year to that total by issuing an additional permit to Talisman Energy. The permit grants Talisman permission to withdrawal water from the Williston Reservoir, B.C.'s largest freshwater body, for 20 years.
Historically, the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission (BCOGC) has granted short-term, temporary water withdrawal permits to the oil and gas industry, a process critics argued circumvented the environmental evaluation necessary for long-term permits. In this instance, Talisman has received one of the largest water withdrawal permits of its kind.

Home Inspectors Licensing Program
The Department of Business and Professional Regulation is responsible for licensing and regulating home inspectors. The Department's Bureau of Central Intake and Licensure processes applications for licensure and refers complex applications to the home inspectors licensing office for final review. The Division of Regulation is responsible for complaint analysis and investigations, and the Office of the General Counsel provides prosecutorial services for disciplinary cases. The Department engages in rulemaking to implement the provisions set forth in its statutes and conducts other general business, as necessary.
Important Information (Hot Topics)
There will be a FEE HOLIDAY for home inspectors who are renewing their license (active or inactive) in the 2014 renewal cycle. This means that home inspectors will only need to pay a $5.00 unlicensed activity fee in order to renew their license for the next two years. The fee must be paid before July 31, 2014 when the renewal period ends to avoid other fees. Licensees must complete the required continuing education. All licensees will be sent a renewal application which can be returned to the department with the $5.00 unlicensed activity fee or renew online through their individual account.
Please contact the department at 850.487.1395 if you have any questions, problems renewing or logging into your account.
Continuing Education Update
It is not necessary for Home Inspectors to take any continuing education credits (CE) to renew their licenses for the initial renewal cycle.
The Initial wind mitigation courses approved by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) are listed on the Department website at www.myfloridalicense.com/
dbpr/servop/testing/documents/hur_mit_ce_prov.pdf. This initial course can also be counted as general continuing education credits for home inspectors for the 2012 – 2014 renewal cycle if it is taken after August 1, 2012. The course may meet the home inspectors wind mitigation course credit if the provider of the course is an approved home inspector provider. Two (2) hour wind mitigation courses that meet CE requirements for home inspectors can be found at http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/servop/testing/
Regulating Body
The Department of Business and Professional Regulation is responsible for the oversight of home inspectors. There is no professional board.

Many older Americans lead healthy, interesting, and productive lives well into their later years. But that's not what we usually hear about.
In addition to regulating the menstrual cycle, estrogen affects the reproductive tract, the urinary tract, the heart and blood vessels, bones, breasts, skin, hair, mucous membranes, pelvic muscles, and the brain.
If you use or are considering using hormone therapy, discuss the possible benefits and risks with your health care provider.
When a woman permanently stops having menstrual periods, she has reached the stage of life called menopause. This stage signals the end of a woman's ability to have children.
Whatever the nature of your loss, active grieving can help you get through the following months and years.
Staying healthy mentally and physically isn't simply a matter of good genes. It's a proactive project that lasts your entire life.
Perimenopause is the period of time before menstruation stops. This time is marked by changes in the menstrual cycle, along with other physical and emotional symptoms.
Good nutrition and regular exercise can help you stay healthy and youthful at this stage of life.
Tai chi is called a mind-body type of exercise because it combines meditation, focused breathing, and physical movement. Because it's also a low-impact exercise, it may be particularly well suited for older adults, but it's a beneficial exercise for people of all ages.
When tragedy strikes with the death of a loved one, a serious illness or a job loss, some people fall apart, while others adapt to such life-changing events more easily. Being resilient is what makes the difference.

Radio and billboards: UTSA on and in the air
By Cindy Brockwell
Special Projects Writer
(Feb. 19, 2009)--Over the last two months, UTSA has been getting some airtime -- both in the sky and in the car. Digital billboards, a new advertising medium in the Alamo City, have been lighting up the sky and promoting UTSA accomplishments, while partnerships with 10 local radio stations have made UTSA spots part of your daily commute.
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
Keep an eye out for UTSA billboard announcements as they change between eight sites around town. You'll have to look fast -- messages rotate every eight seconds.
Beginning Feb. 9, you can spot UTSA announcements rotating at these locations for four weeks:
- I-35 at Weidner
- McAllister Freeway at Pearl
- 1604 at Shaenfield Road
- 410 at Bandera Road
And, keep an ear out for UTSA on the airwaves. UTSA is advertising on San Antonio area commercial radio stations Mix 96.1, KZEP 104.5, Q101.9, KISS 99.5, KSMG Magic 105.1, KPWT Power 106.7, Y100, KJXK Jack-FM 102.7 and BEAT 98.5.
Additionally, UTSA is a sponsor of Texas Public Radio KSTX 89.1 FM during morning and evening drive times.
Like the billboards, radio ads get UTSA's name out to the public while promoting academic programs and UTSA events.

Project leaders: Wei Jiang, Jiyoung Hong, Stuart Orkin
Sickle cell disease (SCD) and the β-thalassemias are genetically heterogeneous chronic diseases with considerable morbidity and mortality. Multiple lines of genetic, biochemical, and clinical evidence have identified hemoglobin (HbF) as a modifier of severity of the globin disorders. Results support a model in which BCL11A coordinates the hemoglobin switch by participating in a multi-protein complex.
Broad Institute scientists have developed a comprehensive strategy to identify small molecule regulators of BCL11A. The first molecular concept is to identify small molecules that directly bind BCL11A, inhibiting its function. Broad researchers will use multiple biophysical assays to screen diverse chemical libraries. The second molecular concept will utilize cell-based assays that measure HbF induction. The team will utilize multiple approaches to identify the small molecule target and determine the mechanism of action.
Discovery biology efforts will complement the hit identification studies. In collaboration with the Proteomics Platform, the team will take a quantitative approach to identify less abundant but more cell-type specific and functionally relevant BCL11A protein partners. The goals of this approach are: to identify the protein complex required for HbF silencing, determine if it requires BCL11A recruitment, establish if it is directly involved in γ-globin transcription, and discover ways to disrupt it. In addition, a genome-wide shRNA screen for HbF induction identified a number of novel repressors of HbF, as well as known genes such as BCL11A. Validation that these repressors functionally regulate HbF will provide context as to whether targeting BCL11A is the best approach to raise HbF, or if other genes regulating BCL11A are more amenable for drug discovery.

Higbee women hailed as local hero
Dora Redifer helped after train vs. car collision and woman set on fire
HIGBEE, Mo. - The Higbee community is commending one resident's actions after she helped twice during times of tragedy.
The small, normally quiet community has been hit with three tragedies in just one week and now the town wants to thank one local woman who went above and beyond to help.
"It's heartbreaking with the train, the fire, and fatal crash," said resident Denny Price. "The community is really in shock."
Residents say Dora Redifer is being hailed as a local hero for helping at two of three recent tragedies in Higbee. They say her actions in those incidents may have saved the lives of two women.
Redifer was able to help Teresa Beal when she was injured in a train versus car crash, and Connie Hunt, who was burned after he husband reportedly set her and her home on fire.
Redifer held Beal's head and kept her conscious after she was ejected from her car when it hit a train.
She also wrapped Hunt in cold, wet towels after the flames on Hunt's body were extinguished.
However, she was known around town far before helping at the incidents.
"She's always there when you need her, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, she'll help anybody," said Price.
Redifer volunteers at the local VFW and is a secretary of the Higbee Community Betterment Association (HCBA).
Neighbors told ABC 17 News she is known to take anyone in if they need a place to stay and would give the clothes off her back if needed.
Redifer declined to be on camera, saying she did not need any recognition and that she was just happy she was there to help.
Price, who is the president of the HCBA, says the entire community will try to help.
"Higbee's a tight community, they always come together," Price said. "I know there are several people taking care of the house and they're also working on a benefit for [Redifer]."
Both of the women Redifer helped are improving each day, but have a long road to recovery. Donations for Beal and Hunt are being collected at the VFW hall in Higbee.

So in 30 years are like alot of people not even going to get Pluto is not a planet jokes because Pluto stopped being a planet before they were even born?
New Mexico has a high number of wooters for this - no surprise given that Clyde Tombaugh (who originally found Pluto) is highly regarded there (and taught at my alma mater, New Mexico State University, from '55 to '77).
I believe the New Mexico legislature also formally recognized Pluto as a planet after it was demoted to "dwarf planet" status.
The legs of the tripod look like one those constellations that I never can seem to recognize.
chrisprender wrote:I think every family has its Pluto. And if you can't pinpoint the Pluto in your own family, well... it might be you.
Pretty positive it is me and I'M PROUD!!! Pluto should be proud too. He's a non-conformist.
It has seriously been ages since something made me laugh out loud hard. This shirt broke that streak. Once I blew it up and saw I just about ran out of breath.
Pluto will always be a planet in my eyes.
Sometimes I feel like Pluto ._.
LurkingGrue wrote:How long will it take for the "poor Pluto" idea to run its course? It's still a dwarf planet along with several others.
With luck it will go on until something gets done about it! Underplaying the importance of Trans-Neptunian objects serves no purpose but to sweep modern discoveries under the rug. Simplifying the solar system to 8 planets and a slew of meaningless debris does a great disservice to our children. How are they supposed to be captivated by their surroundings if we don't teach them the true nature of space with all it's discovered complexities?
Pluto has three moons, and shares an interesting orbit with the largest Charon. Not only does the barycenter of the Pluto Charon system lie ABOVE the surface of Pluto but Pluto and Charon are tidally locked! They're celestial dance partners for crying out loud. Pluto is too cool to be ignored or shrugged off as a dwarf planet. Especially since dwarf planets are not classified as planets at all, unlike dwarf stars which still maintain their stellar status.
When did shirts go up in price?
emehew wrote:It would be impossible to use relative sizes. The small planets would be pinpoints and the large ones wouldn't fit! Get real, suspend disbelief.
that's one thing... but as someone else mentioned above, Venus is bigger than Earth, and some of the others look kinda strange being as large or small as they are. It could have been done with a little more care to make sure that all 9 planets were recognizable. (That's right Pluto I included you too!)
When I saw it said "Family Portrait", I expected there to be weird faces and someone giving bunny ears. The photographer trying in vain to get everyone to look in the same direction at the same time and smile. And Little Johnny looking like he needs a bathroom break.
My family pictures never look like this!
Going random is an expensive way to (probably not) get a specific shirt.

hey Bassanimation, I just wanna say that everytime i wear my halloween mouse shirt i get a ton of compliments. Love it!
Anyways in for one
haha woot stories are always what ends up selling me on the shirt :P
Ohh, remember when Pluto was first formed and he was the runt of the litter, and the sun had to rub his giant hands over Pluto until the life got pulled back into him, and the whole family was so happy once again? Anybody think he'll ever be forgiven for hanging out with those miscreants in the Kuiper area of town, and allowed to come back home again?
Must be pretty convenient for the Sun to be the photographer. Solar flares would make an excellent flash-bulb replacement.
I have to say it. As a New Mexican, I love Pluto.
Old joke is old. Also, I'm pretty sure this is a rip-off of something I've seen before.
tinsoldiergt wrote:The legs of the tripod look like one those constellations that I never can seem to recognize.
Looks like the most-recognizable portion of Taurus.
Nice design but it would be really cool with a bunch of little moons and asteroids and stuff making silly faces in the front row. Or does that kind of thing only happen in my family?
lete wrote:Dear Pluto,
You'll always be a planet to me.
Actually, Illinois effed up. The law the Illinois government passed says something along the lines that "as Pluto crosses through the sky above Illinois, it will be considered a planet."
The problem is that Pluto never passes above Illinois.
Sorry, Pluto. Not a single state still officially loves you.
shouldn't Uranus be rotated 90 degrees?
Still in for one

Yes the law's poetic wording does put its meaning up for debate, and our politicians have always been all flash and no substance, nevertheless, Illinois' love for Pluto is evident in the gesture alone.
I don't know why anyone takes the IAU's decision seriously anyway, they're French.
So happy to see this placed first in the derby!
And then, so sad that I don't have $12 right now with which I can buy it.
But enough about me... congrats, wirdou!
Never mind Pluto; is that a Muppets reference I see?
"Tune in next week to miss last weeks episode of Piiiigs iiiin SPAAAAAACE!"
What?! Pluto's not a planet?! Noooooooo!!!!
Seriously, should they even call it a "dwarf planet?" Wouldn't "little planet" be more PC?
If the size of the planets were to scale, we would only see the photographer------the sun. I for one am glad to see them this size, quit whining and buy the cute shirt.
I don't think the planets are going to line up until September 8, 2040, and that a Geocentric alignment, which includes Pluto.
In the end it doesn't matter, because all hell is going to brake loose when it happens, right?
I don't have a problem with the sizes, because it would look outta whack if you tried to keep the ratio. What I do have an issue with is the colors. Mercury looks sorta like the moon, no stripes there, and I would've given Jupiter the stripes, and made Saturn a solid color because it's already got the rings.
Anywho, I love this design overall, and Congratulations on getting it printed. =]
If I wasn't completely broke, I would def buy one.
BelyndaG wrote:What?! Pluto's not a planet?! Noooooooo!!!!

"Dwarf" or "little planet" is fine. The offensive term would be "midget," because a midget thing is almost--but not quite--that thing.
But that's really what happened to Pluto, isn't it?
At that distance from the sun why does the earth still have water?
Pah! This is so unrealistic... I can't buy this. As if they could all get so close without gravity causing them to collide at high speeds!
They would be much better waiting until the planets were all in line and ask a friendly comet to take the photo.
I need Scissors!!!
Just look Neil deGrasse Tyson, look at what you did to that lovely family.
Maybe he should get a free shirt for making this shirt funnier.
Awww...poor Pluto!
I could never wear this shirt. It's way too depressing.
This is SO adorable. I must resist though... t-shirts are just not practical for my lifestyle, unfortunately.

Crookers (featuring Roisin Murphy) - Royal T (Foamo Remix)
Rather quietly, innit, that Crookers released the single, Royal T, from their debut album, Tons of Friends. And rather radly still, we continue to hit play on the Roisin Murphy vocaled song, because it's dirty dancey fun and now with it's proper offering, the remixes hti just as hard and just as huge.
Now, let's not make it as if we're behind the times, because a number of official mixes of the song have already made a play for our ears in recent months. But with a drop 2 days ago via Ministry of Sound via Germany via their biggest package for the single as of yet, it's due time we feature the brills-ness of this badass song.
Official fixes come from: Riva Starr, Foamo, House Moguls (House of House), Panton, Kashii and Danton Eeprom. Spanning genres from dubstep to electro house and progressive, this package is one that will pelase all ears.
You can dig into 3 of the remixes in the player below, then after that, freshen up your music library with the Foamo fix. My favorite might be that House of House slice of sinfully spectacularity. Buy the single/EP here.

Corslet. Italian (II.21)
Corslet. Italian (II.21)
Object number: II.21
|Object Provenance:
|Italian, about 1560
|Object Number:
The cuirass of this half armour is of semi-anime construction, the lower section of the back and breastplate formed of three articulated lames, the upper part solid but embossed with simulated lames, and embossed with foliage and a Maltese cross.
There is a separate gorget of four plates front and rear, associated with the cuirass. There is a fauld of two lames attached to the flange of the breastplate, and associated tassets each of four lames attached by straps and buckles. The arm defences have full pauldrons, and couters attached to the upper and lower cannons by articulating lames.
This form of anime cuirass was popular for a very short time in western Europe, between about 1550 and 1570. They were probably intended to reflect the form of the ancient Roman lorica segmentata, as this was a period when the art of Classical antiquity was very popular in Europe.
This armour was displayed on a wooden cross between two of the mounted figures in the 19th century Line of Kings.
From the armoury of the Knights of St John, Malta, purchased 1826

Compare Appeals attorneys near you. Read reviews, see Avvo Ratings, and contact them directly.
If you file a lawsuit and lose the case, you can appeal the decision to the next highest court, which is called the appellate court. Appellate lawyers often specialize in arguing appeals; that is, they specialize in arguing why the decision of the lower court was wrong (or why it was right, for the party that won). Appellate attorneys specialize in appeals because they understand the specific and detailed rules that must be followed. It is possible to lose an appeal on technicalities, even when the law is on your side. If you want to appeal the outcome of the trial court, or if you need to argue against another person's appeal, you should work with an appellate attorney.

Most of us have probably never thought much about where Peter Pan came from. After all, the more mystery surrounding magical beings, the better their reputations. Now along comes the lighthearted prequel Peter and the Starcatcher, and enough of the mystery of the boy who refused to grow up remains intact.
The winner of five Tony Awards will be at the Providence Performing Arts Center through March 2. The play was adapted by Rick Elice from the 2006 children's novel by Dave Barry (yes, the humor columnist) and Ridley Pearson and is directed by Roger Rees and Alex Timbers.
Unfortunately, it has a first act that's more silly than humorous, with an underdeveloped Peter we're not seduced into caring much about. And since this isn't a musical, there are no songs to entertain us. The second act gets more interesting and gives us a surprisingly hilarious three- or four-minute litany of anguished "Oh my god!" by the future Captain Hook (John Sanders) when he slams a trunk and loses a hand.
We witness the origins of Captain Hook and Tinker Bell as well as Peter's penchant for all things piratical. Instead of Wendy we have the intrepid Molly Aster (Megan Stern), a 13-year-old like Peter (Joey deBettencourt), who is a precocious apprentice Starcatcher and the real hero of this tale. The Starcatchers are a secret society, appointed by the Queen, whose mission is to protect "starstuff," a magical ingredient that can make a person (or a cat, as we first see) fly.
Since the power of imagination is a theme here, the play is appropriately theatrical — that flying cat is a puppet. Our imaginations are expressly recruited at the outset, when the ensemble welcomes us to the world of adventure that they have in store for us. Yet characters continue to turn to us and explain what they're doing or what's on their mind — not the best technique for absorbing us into the action.
At the outset we meet Molly and her father, Lord Leonard Aster (Nathan Hosner), on a dock. Confiding his mission to her, they speak in Dodo, the language of not-yet-extinct Dodo birds, and he places an amulet around her neck, identical to one he wears, which will reveal if the other is in danger.
Lord Aster has been assigned to guard a trunk filled with something precious belonging to the Queen. However, we see an identical trunk, filled with sand, being marked as the royal cargo by a sneaky looking captain, Bill Slank (Jimonn Cole), and the real treasure is loaded onto his ship, the Wasp. The box of sand and Molly, left in the care of Slank, go onto the Neverland with Molly's nanny, Mrs. Bumbrake (Benjamin Schrader). They supposedly are taking a less dangerous route, while Lord Aster boards the Wasp. Before the two ships set sail, three orphan boys are sold to Slank. One of them is the future Peter, at this point known simply as Boy.

There was a guy on a local talk radio program, he said he goes to Colorado every year for a hunting trip and spends $5-6k just out there. He's not going this year, he's going to one of the neighboring states instead.
Hunters begin boycott over Colorado gun laws
Associated Press – 2 hours 12 minutes ago
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Hunters across the country say they are boycotting Colorado because of recent legislation meant to curtail gun violence.
Colorado last week became the first Western state to ratchet back gun rights in response to mass shootings at a suburban Denver movie theater and an elementary school in Connecticut. Opponents warned the gun controls would hurt hunters, especially an expansion of background-check requirements to apply to personal and online gun sales.
Republican opponents of the new background-check law said it would make criminals of hunters lending each other weapons for weekend hunting trips. In response, Democrats changed the bill to give people a 72-hour grace period to share guns without triggering background-check requirements. Republicans then complained the bill would imperil weeklong hunting trips.
Gun-rights advocates who said hunters would boycott Colorado in protest say they are following through on their threats.
Michael Bane, a freelance producer for The Outdoor Channel, announced he will no longer film his four shows in Colorado. And hunting outfitters say people began canceling trips after the legislation passed, The (Colorado Springs) Gazette newspaper reported (Colorado hunting faces backlash over gun control laws - OutThereColorado.com ).
Northwest Colorado hunting guide Chris Jurney expects more state defections in a major tourism industry. Out-of-state hunters accounted for 15 percent of hunting licenses last year, 86,000, compared with 489,000 for residents.
"There's a united front of sportsmen that are tired of having their freedoms and liberties and fundamental rights taken away from them," said Jurney, vice president of the Colorado Outfitters Association. "That kind of unity among sportsmen is going to be big, and unfortunately for those of us who live here, we're going to suffer the consequences of this misguided legislation."
Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesman Randy Hampton said his agency has asked the state attorney general's office for advice on impacts to hunters. While legal possession of high-capacity magazines is grandfathered in, officials want to make sure they are still legal to use.
"We believe there's the potential for impact. That's out of our control," he said. "Hunting is a tool to manage wildlife populations, and we do not believe the impacts will affect that part of our mission."
Jurney said he expects the actual impact of gun regulations on Colorado hunters will be small. Varmint hunters tend to use high-capacity magazines, so they might be limited.
The Colorado Tourism Office, which tracks travel spending in Colorado, did not immediately return a call seeking details about whether a hunting boycott was being felt.
Hunters begin boycott over Colorado gun laws - Yahoo! TV
Black Blade: No surprise here. I read of several folk cancelling guided group elk hunts this fall in Colorado. Gun owners and firearms business people have a strong history of boycotting places where they are not welcome. Organizers of a Pennsylvania outdoors gun show cancelled the event after a backlash over a ban on assault rifles. Seems those who bought space at the event were not happy and they cancelled - in fact over a third of exhibitors cancelled causing the Brit owned Reed Exhibitions to cancelled the event altogether. Seems the Brits underestimated the American gun owner (again like they did in 1776). Now the leftists in charge of Colorado are learning the lesson as well.

Why not go to Wyoming instead? I'm sure you can bag just about anything there that you could in Colorado. That is where I would head to.
I'd go to Wyoming,Nevada,New Mexico,Arizona even Utah before i would ever go to Colorado to hunt.
hell even skiing trip I'll go Utah
buying up all the guns and ammo i can just to PISS OFF the douche bag liberals
I'm doing my own little boycott of NY,, at least in some small ways.
#1, This year for the first time in eons,, I didn't get a NY hunting / fishing Lic. = 0 $$$$
#2 Did not rejoin a NY based 4 wheeler club in which I'd been a member of for a long time,,=0$
#3 Got 9 other people/families in this area,,(and it didn't take much convincing ), to pull there campers out of campgrounds, cancel hunting lease's (mine included), cancel snowmobile/4 wheeler trips, not purchase license's, relocate family camping trips, ect to other local "friendly states". = SERIOUS!! 0 $$$$$
So far that's all I've been able to do, but I informed Como about this fact on his web site, along with my opinions about NY firearms laws. Quoting some of the sportsman unfriendly laws being the #1 reason for my,, no longer supporting the state with my dollars. Seems all the 9 other folks I referred to that are involved in this "mini protest" have written too,,,,,YES!!! That may catch there attention some. The more the merrier!!
Hit them in the pocket book,,,, that,,, will get there attention pretty fast I'd think. Especially if lots of sportsmen speak up and do this. Lots of sportsmen in this area are already doing the same thing,,,, even though there's some SMOKER DEER in the Adirondacks and it,,, Will Hurt,,,, not hunting them for a couple years if need be,,,, just to make a point. Lots of us are doing it anyways.
I guess when the gubberment push's ya around,,, there's legal ways to push back if you're smart about it!!! And those ways can Really put a real "CRIMP " in a states budget outlook.
Give Um Hell !! Just My little contribution!!

Third round robin clinches regional berth for PR-B Knowledge Bowl team
The Pine River-Backus Knowledge Bowl team competed in the third and final round robin event Monday, Feb. 25, against Aitkin, Staples-Motley, Crosby-Ironton, Royalton and Menahga at Staples-Motley High School.
Meghan Wheeler, Meg Stevenson, Trent Crimmins, Erin Fisker and Isabel Lawrence took third place as team Nous Lavons Avec L'Herissons. Jake Shetka, Troy Fetter and Ashley Johnson, as team Jeg Vet Ikke, took 19th.
Overall 26 teams competed in the meet.
No written round scores exceeded 40 so L'Herissons' 36 put the team in a three-way tie for third, but the tie-breaker placed the team in fourth facing Royalton's We Cheated and Aitkin's Mao's Disciples for oral round one.
The 13 points scored by L'Herissons allowed them to easily win the room to Mao's 10 and Cheated's 7. This moved L'Herissons into third place, only two points out of first.
Crosby-Ironton's Mr. Roger's Neighbors (second) and Aitkin's Objects in Space (first) fought fiercely in oral round two. L'Herissons' 10 tied Rogers and exceeded Objects, but a wonderful round by fourth-place Populi Intelligorum from Staples-Motley saw all three teams drop one place, returning L'Herissons to fourth.
Facing Cheated and Crosby-Ironton's Little Dinosaurs, L'Herissons had another good round of 14 points, returning again to third place. The final oral round had S-M's Populi in first, Aitkin's Objects in second and L'Herissons in third, with only three points between first and third.
This time L'Herissons were able to tie Objects with 8 and defeat Populi, who only gained 6. This placed L'Herissons still in third as Strength of Schedule Scoring provided an extra point for Objects and Populi had a three-point lead going into the final round.
However, the 86 points earned by L'Herissons easily qualified the team for Regions in 10th place over the entire region.
Jeg was able to earn 26 points in the written round, giving the team its highest ranking for the meet at 18th. They faced Royalton's The Heros and Zeros and Aitkin's Fighting Unicorns in oral round one. It was a difficult round with the Heros scoring 8 and Jeg tying the Unicorns with 6.
Although this dropped Jeg to 19th it was hoped moving from the bottom of one room to the top of the next would lead to a higher score and an increase in confidence.
Round three ended in a three-way tie of 7 points a team for Menahga's Team B and Royalton's Tinge of Ginge. This provided stability rather than advancement for Jeg.
Other room scores led to new competition for oral round three. Staples-Motley Juan Direction handed Jeg its first real defeat of the day, winning 11 to 5. Menahga's Como Re Le was able to earn only 3 in the round.
Falling to the bottom of the room, Jeg faced Aitkin's The Imbecils and Menahga's Ain't Nobody Got Time. Although the day had been tiring, Jeg continued to battle and added another 7 points to its total. This was enough to move the team back to 19th place for the meet and into 52nd for the overall region.
L'Herisson will join teams from Brainerd (six), Aitkin, Little Falls (three), Pierz, Wadena-Deer Creek (two), Pequot Lakes (three), Staples-Motley, Long Prairie-Grey Eagle, Henning and Crosby-Ironton on March 21 at Staples-Motley High School for Regional competition.
The top five teams will advance to state competition April 11-12 at Cragun's Resort.

If I needed the gun and had the time, I'd probably cock my A/S. But to be honest - once ya break the trigger in (its rough until after 200-400 rounds), the DA is still very nice.
When I have done the contest shooting in the Internet Matches we previously shot here on the site, I've done it with the SA pull. But, the DA pull is still much lighter than the DA pull on say - a Beretta 92 or some other DA/SA gun. Its very smooth, and not that heavy.
I wouldn't be able to shoot the un quite as well if I had the QA version, because ya don't have that nice SA pull on the QA.

Fact Sheet Series 2004 - Adult Basic and Literacy Education
The OVAE Fact Sheet Series highlights efforts currently underway at the Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) to support the principles of the President's No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The principle(s) supported by this effort are:
- Increase Accountability and Academic Achievement
- Focus on What Works
While various efforts are underway across the country to improve adult literacy, there is little research or consensus on which practices are the most effective in teaching adults to read. The main goal of Effective Practices in Reading is to identify which practices work best.
Effective Practices in Reading in Adult Education and Family Literacy utilizes rigorous methodology to test various approaches for increasing reading comprehension in adult education and family literacy programs. The project consists of six research grants, which are jointly sponsored by the Department of Education, the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development, and the National Institute for Literacy. All six projects will take place over the next five years and employ experimental or quasi-experimental designs. These projects should contribute greatly to the major gaps in areas of adult literacy research. The topics to be investigated are:
- Reading instruction for low literate adults, Georgia State University
- Testing the impact of health literacy instruction in adult literacy using integrated family approach programs, University of Illinois
- Improving literacy instruction for adults, University of Kansas - Lawrence
- Relative effectiveness of reading programs for adults, Educational Testing Services
- Young adult literacy problems: prevalence and treatment, Wake Forest University
- Building a knowledge base for teaching adult decoding, University of Delaware
Outcomes and Products
- New adult literacy interventions for adults
- Effective methods to teach reading to adults with literacy difficulties
- More effective means for identifying, recruiting and serving those in need of literacy instruction
FY 2002 to FY 2007

Prep Time 40 min
Total Time 300 min.
Step 1
Position a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 325°F. Lay a double thickness of paper towels in a baking pan large enough to comfortably hold eight 4- to 6-ounce heatproof custard cups or ramekins. Set the cups in the pan (the paper towels will keep them in place).
Step 2
Heat cream, cardamom, cloves and ginger in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until the mixture just comes to a full boil. Remove from the heat and let stand for 15 minutes. Place chocolate in a 4-cup glass measure. Return the cream to medium-high heat and reheat to boiling. Immediately pour through a very fine sieve set over the chocolate, pressing down on the spices to extract as much flavor as possible; don't stir the chocolate. Let stand for 3 minutes, then gently stir until the chocolate completely melts and the mixture is well blended and smooth. (If the chocolate is not completely melted, microwave it for 20 to 30 seconds on High, then stir.)
Step 3
Wipe out the saucepan, add milk and sugar, and heat just to boiling, stirring until the sugar dissolves. In a slow, thin stream, gradually stir about two-thirds of the boiling milk into the chocolate. If the mixture looks separated at any point, stop adding milk and stir the chocolate until it is smooth again before continuing.
Step 4
Whisk egg, egg yolks and vanilla in a small bowl until well blended. While constantly whisking the egg mixture, add the remaining milk in a slow, thin stream. Strain the egg-milk mixture through a fine sieve into the chocolate mixture; stir well to combine. Evenly divide among the custard cups, about 1/4 cup each.
Step 5
Place the pan on the low oven rack. Add enough very hot tap water to come 3/4 inch up the sides of the cups. Bake until the tops appear barely set when the cups are jiggled, 16 to 20 minutes; don't tap the tops as this will mar the surface.
Step 6
Transfer the cups to a wire rack. Let cool thoroughly, about 1 hour. Cover with plastic and refrigerate until chilled, at least 3 hours and up to 3 days. Let warm up just slightly before serving. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a small piece of crystallized ginger (if desired).

Trinidad residents await decision on marijuana sales
TRINIDAD, Colo. - Many people in Trinidad are pushing City Council to legalize recreational and medical marijuana, arguing it's the economic boost the struggling city needs.
Ruben Romero has lived in Trinidad all his life. But there's one thing he wants to buy in his hometown but can't: medical marijuana.
"We're the last town in Colorado leaving and we're the first town coming in from New Mexico. I mean if there was any prime location to have it, it would be here," Romero said.
According to the Colorado Education Association, over the last two years more than 200 students have left the Trinidad School District and almost all of the coaches have been fired. Some parents say revenue from marijuana sales is just what the district needs.
"Tax it. Get a lot of teachers back. Get a lot of coaches back," said parent Francisco Quesada.
But Trinidad's mayor has made it clear where she stands on marijuana.
"I still say not only no, but hell no," Baca-Gonzalez said.
"Once it was passed, the time for debate is over. It's done and now your job is to support what the people want," Romero said.
Last year, 52 percent of voters in Las Animas County passed Amendment 64. Many say legalizing marijuana would do away with many of the vacant store fronts that line downtown Trinidad.
"It's like riding down in a ghost town," Quesada said.
For now, Romero plans to continue driving up to Colorado Springs to get his marijuana.
Romero said, "There has to be at least one experimental town and why not Trinidad."
City Council will be voting on what agency should be responsible for regulating marijuana on Sept. 3.

Nice work David!! Congrats to the new owners, I'm sure they will be very anxious and pleased to hear their new boards are on their way.
Man that hard maple board is a beast.
"God sends meat and the devil sends cooks." - Thomas Deloney
Do you pack that maple one like a tv? That thing is a beast. I'm a little jealous though. beautiful job Dave.
45 pounds and 80 pounds respectively?
I'm guessing these are not getting put away after each use!
Beautiful wall art! Warmer then having a brick-covered wall in the den.
David (WildBoar's Kitchen)
Very nice! Love the 80lb board.
Seeing that board just gives me clamp envy.

The difference is Spikes actually could play in coverage, had the instincts for it, and probably has a bit better flexibility and change of direction. So he wasent used as a blizter almost every play.
The difference is Spikes actually could play in coverage, had the instincts for it, and probably has a bit better flexibility and change of direction. So he wasent used as a blizter almost every play.
Go look at Maryland VS UNC and u will see Red**** drop into coverege a handful of times, and made the brilliant play on the ball at one point, albeit, he didn't pick it, and he took the back outta the backfield once or twice as well.. I've never said hes awesome in coverege, as i don't think he is, but i think hes so good vs the run, and not overly dreadful against the pass, that it makes up for it... I did see him play DE in 2plays in that tape though, i will say that.
I also look at alot of prospects and think there good even if they are just gonna be a helpful part to the team, even as a reserve.. Its hard enough to do that, so it means something to be a decent reserve , and a guy who can stick on a team and help more then hurt them... Red**** is not a late rd pick either, and isn't it funny that this guys getting solid reviews at the Sr bowl this wk so far??? hmmmm?
This coming from a guy who wanted us to draft Brian Robiske, and was all about Taylor Mays, amongst many others.. Red**** will go in the top 3-4 rds, which is not a late rd pick, by the way..
Isn't that the point? You are admitting he is quite bad against the pass.
Yes he does a good job of coming up and taking on blockers.
Combine those two things and what do you get? A 3-4 ILB thumper.
A guy who has minimal coverage responsibility, often comes off the field on passing downs, and a guy whose primary job is to come up and occupy and shed a blocker.
His skill set does not fit AT ALL with what you want with a 3 down MLB. Especially one who plays in a Tampa 2 where his range and coverage ability is critical.
And getting solid reviews? He did well in the blitz drills against HBs and struggled a ton in coverage drills vs HBs and TEs. Exactly how he should look.
Prospects all have weaknesses, oh except Arthur Brown of course(j/k..lol), and especially late 3rd/4th rd prospects, but with that said, Red****s package is exciting for that late of a pick, and he has the makings to be a pretty solid NFL LB in any system...

What kinda Contract u think Derek Cox CB Jags is gonna get? I've always liked em as a player, but he is injury prone, at a positon we always have injuries.. That said, hes very talented, and the injury history will make him a bit cheaper, and when healthy, hes a heck of a CB.. Obviously were gonna have to do a couple things in FA'cy, weather minor moves or whatever, becasue draft isn't fixing everything.. Getting a guy like cox, and then drafting a CB in the mid rds isn't a bad idea, i think?
EJ Biggers is another CB i'd be interested in bringing in via FA'cy..
Walts Weekly 4rd mock came out today.. I love what hes got us doing this wk! All 4players, are guys i really like, which rarley happens..
1). Ez Ansah DE BYU
2). Sharrif Floyd DT Florida
3). Khaseem Greene LB Rutgers(maybe some dumb teams let him fall this far becasue ht's only 6ft and a tad light)
4). Leon McFadden CB San Diego St(what a 4th rd steal this would be)
Theres a ton of oline guys out there that were UDF's or drafted in rds 5-7, that i think we can still get something.. A guy like TJ Johnson C/G S.carolina comes to mind, or Terron Armstead of Ark Pine Bluff, or Earl Watford G James Madison..etc Just 2 name a few...
If our draft ended first 4rds like that, i'd be ok with not drafting a Olineman.. Now dosen't mean that any 4some of defenders in first 4rds would make me happy, but that 4some happens to bolster interior and exterior of Dline, as well as giving us legit CB and playmaking LB.. Floyd is a stud against the run as well. I would like a bit more pass rush from our DT's though, but Floyd and Joseph could really clog up the middle for us, and Joseph gets decent pressure for a DT, and i think Floyd could get us 3-6 sacks a yr as well..

Sponsored Tingles: Venus Best Legs – Beyonce
It'd be easy to name someone like Charlize Theron. Her legs are ridiculously beautiful. It's a genetic blessing. Beautiful is one thing. But relatable is another. And for a short sometimes stumpy Asia girl like me, who will never be an amazon, it's about relatability – illusory or not.
Beyonce's legs are tight. Sometimes tighter than other times. When B's on vacation, when she's not touring, when she's relaxing on the yacht in the French Riviera with Jay-Z, B softens up a little. It's soft and still sweet, but it's not crazy rock hard the way they are now while she's pounding out several litres of sweat every night on stage.
And this is the point.
We all let go once in a while. And then we turn it back up for an occasion. I will always giv'er before the Oscars, and the Junos, and I usually try to detox and train hard the entire month of August before TIFF. After TIFF, around my birthday, please, it's burgers and beers every night.
I would like to believe B is the same. This is why her legs are the best. Because they seem real.
Like you don't need to squint too hard to try to believe yours can be the same. Or almost the same. I mean, you already know she doubles on Spanx. And given the time, with the right exercises, with the proper motivation, with patience, and reasonable goals, it's not entirely impossible. It's not Charlize Theron.
Love Beyonce's. She's my Leg Icon.
On the style front however…
No thank you Tina Knowles.
PS. While writing this I've had Crazy In Love on repeat. Still the hypest Beyonce song ever. How can you stay seated when you hear it? Did I mention I do a great Beyonce imitation? Maybe at the Smut Soiree.
That wraps it up! Monica Cruz retained the lead in your votes since week 3. Will B take over? Click here to see the look and vote.
Big thanks to Gillette for their support. If you missed any of the previous weeks flip back in the pages of the Venus Embrace Look Book to take it all in.

Throat swab, rapid strep test, rapid antigen test
The rapid strep screen is used to test for bacteria called group A streptococcus. Group A streptococcus bacteria cause illnesses such as strep throat and scarlet fever – a rash that may occur after a case of strep throat. Strep throat and scarlet fever can cause a number of symptoms, particularly a fever and a sore throat. These illnesses are quite contagious and require antibiotics to treat.
Doctors have two ways to test for group A streptococcus. For the rapid strep screen, your doctor or a nurse takes a sample of cells from your tonsils and back of the throat and tests it right in the doctor's office. You can get your results in as little as five minutes. If the rapid strep screen is positive, you have strep throat and no further tests may be needed.
You may need this test if your doctor suspects that you have strep throat. Symptoms of strep throat can include:
Sore throat
Painful or difficult swallowing
Swelling or tenderness of the glands in the neck
Nausea or vomiting
Skin rashStomach ache
HeadacheLack of appetite
Tonsils that are swollen and red
Patches of white on the tongue or throat
You may need this test to confirm you have a bacterial infection instead of a viral infection before a doctor will prescribe antibiotics. You may also need this test if the results of a throat culture, which can provide a more accurate diagnosis, are unavailable for a few days.
If the rapid strep screen is negative, your doctor may do another test called throat culture to make sure that strep is not the cause of your sore throat and other symptoms. This test also requires taking a swab of cells from your tonsils or back of the throat. The sample is sent to a laboratory, where it is grown, or cultured, and tested for strep bacteria. The results are available in about two days. Your results will reveal whether you have group A streptococcus.
Your doctor may also order:
Influenza (flu) test
Mononucleosis (mono spot) test
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
Your test results will show whether you have group A streptococcus bacteria in the cells or mucus of your throat. A normal (negative) result will not show any group A streptococcus bacteria. If the test is positive, that means bacteria have been found and you likely have strep throat.
The rapid strep screen requires taking a swab of mucus or cells from the back of your throat. The doctor, nurse, or laboratory technician will gently swipe the back of your throat with a long cotton swab. A second sample may be taken at the same time to be used in a throat culture if the rapid strep screen is negative.
This test poses no known risks.
Nothing is likely to affect the results of your test, as only the presence of group A streptococcus bacteria should give you a positive result.
You don't need to prepare for this test.

Skillz Oct 07 Winning Entry - Technical
Dan Roberts
Congrats from all of us at EH-Net,
"Worst. Ethical. Hacker. Challenge. Ever."
Hacker Challenge Submission
Response by: Dan Roberts
Stolen customer records
At 19:03:58, the host 220.127.116.11 began harvesting customer information by calling the userreport.pl program with Lynx for each customer record specified by the uid parameter in the HTTP GET parameters. 71 requests were issued, 53 returned information (return code 200) and the remainder failed due to an internal server error (return code 500).
The uid's are derived from pi (3.141592653589...), which I suppose one could call "less rational" since it is the best known irrational number. The first uid is 141592, next is 653589, and so on.. the attacker simply had to try these numbers in sequence until he ran out of valid uid's. The internal server errors were caused by the invalid uid's. The hacker may have guessed Comic Book Guy's numbering scheme, since he all but gave it away in his response to Troy McClure's comment about the broken random number generator.
(There was also another clue to this, CBG had a "one million digits of PI" Firefox tab open while viewing Lisa's winning score - Kevin)
Impossible scores
Where does one begin? First, the game trusts user input.. a cardinal sin. In addition, the correct choice is coded into the webpage's JavaScript, so the user has only to look at the source for the answer. What's worse is that the timer is coded on the client-side as well. The attacker could either create his own HTML to submit with the correct answer and a zero value for TimeTaken. Alternatively, he could use a proxy to intercept and alter the values in flight.
Bill Gates a mutant
The attacker utilized script injection on the comment page to replace the mutant image of UrukHai with a Bill Gates image. The following script can be found under a posting by "Anonymous Coward" at 3:07:52 pm. <script language="JavaScript"> document.MutantImage.src="http://www.lapooh.com/Mutant/gates2.gif";</script>
According to the log, the attacker came from 188.8.131.52.
How to fix it
1. Find a better way to produce uid's.. these should not be predictable, else this challenge demonstrates what can happen.
2. Implement game logic on the server side instead of placing it in the hands of the client.. and never ever trust user input.
3. Validate user input to avoid mischief such as the DOM-based XSS attack seen in the challenge.
Hidden message
Using the pass phrase "Frisky Dingo" with STOOLS (both clues left in the game comments), I was able to reveal the secret message inside gates2.gif:
Dear Comic Book Guy -
Your amateur coding skills, demonstrated by your buggy, non-secure web application, do not demonstrate the level of intellect we would expect from a member of the Springfield MENSA chapter. We met and voted to give you one last chance to remain in the club.
By finding this message, you have demonstrated some skills, and may remain a member. But remember, Our Kung Fu is the Best.
Principal Skinner, Dr. Hibbert, Lisa Simpson, Professor Frink, Lindsey Naegle.
Congrats from all of us at EH-Net,

Reviews of this property
Unfortunately we didn't meet Jolanta in person, but we think she is ok. Jolanta arranged for us to be picked from Modlin airport by her friend Blazej.
Blazej was a very nice gentilman, friendly,polite and very helpful. He spoke good English. Picked us from the airport drove us (in his car) to Warsaw city center where the apartment is about 50km. He refused to take any money, for that special thanks to Blazej. At the apartment another gentalnan called Rafeal met us. Rafeal was very friendly and polit. He didn't speak English. Rafeal helped us to the apartment and explained every thing with the help of signe Language.
Both Blazej and Rafeal were very good.
The apartment was nice and clean. It's location very good, buses,Trams and Metro are less than 2 minutes away.
Old town is about 10Minutes walk or less.
Taxi driver let us off in back yard, adresswas house 2 not 4 but we walked through arcade and found a place.
Jolanta and her friend welcomed and showed us around in aparment. It is spacious, sunny and has a view. Short walk to old town and metro, buss and tram are at square. Water, tea & coffee are provided by host. There were leflets on city as well.
A nice georgian cafe Lezginka at backyard is a great place for lunch. Its between florist and
Supermarket. Foodmarket Ptasia is 2 streets away, fresh berries and vegetables, and a bigger supermarket.
The only minus for us was a slight traffic noise in bedrooms, but its a city pulse.
Found no English channels on tv, internet quality is fine.
We had a great time in this central-located flat . Nothing was a problem for the owner , so Jolanta allowed us to make a late check-out. It was very comfortable , warm , clean and shinny flat. The sorroundings with all combinations of public transports , bars , restaurants and shops where you can buy whatever you need. We will defenitively come back to this place and we do recommend for anyone who wants to visit Warsaw.
Nice clean apartment. There is everything one can need. Very good location, with Metro, buses and trams just a few steps from the apartment. If we are going to visit Warzawa once more, we will rent this apartment again, and then we will hope that the double bed is not so hard for our backs.
Sørensen, Denmark
A very nice flat that was well planned and well situated near the Old Town. Helpful and nice host as well. It couldn't be better
The appartment was perfect. We had a very good time here and we can really recommend this appartment. Location near the old city, nice view on the town hall, metro tram and bus right in front of the building. You can hear the traffic, a little bit, but at the backside of the appartment you can open windows for clean air without the sounds of the street. The appartment has enough space, is very clean, the beds are good and everything is there: sheets, towels, toiletpaper, cleaning material, and a well equipped kitchen. Also the bathroom looked new, with a good bath and shower. Television and WIFI are also there. In short it was perfect, when we come back we surely will stay here again if it is available. Els and Mieke (Netherlands and Belgium)
Cosy and very comfortable position as front .. there are taxis, buses and trams .. walking distance to metro station. Some moles are represented by the lack of dishes and the fixtures really bad quality that make you practically have the wind in their home for the rest ... okay .. I would recommended to not more than four people ..
Appartamento accogliente e molto comodo come posizione..di fronte si trovano taxi,bus e tram..a poca distanza la fermata della metro. Alcuni nei sono rappresentati dalla carenza di stoviglie da cucina e gli infissi veramente di pessima qualità che fanno si di avere praticamente il vento in casa...per il resto tutto bene..direi consigliato per non più di quattro persone..
We really loved the apartment was clean and comfortable
our expectations and the location 'convenient for transportation and proximity to downtown. thanks to Mrs. jolanta helpful and polite
ci siamo trovati veramente bene l'appartamento era comodo pulito e nelle
nostre aspettative la posizione e' comoda per i mezzi e per la vicinanza al centro storico. un grazie alla signora jolanta disponibile e gentile

Los anfitriones encantadores.el apartamento muy bien localizado, en una calle céntrica y a 5 min de la parte vieja de Varsovia. Se lo recomiendo a todo el que quiera una agradable estancia y con una relación calidad/precio buenísima

The first thing we notice at the entrance to Weird and Wonderful is a fish tank with a starfish inside, looking like it's trying to eat a large mussel shell, beneath a huge solar system display.
Next to the fish tank is a container filled with sawdust and mealworms wriggling around. It's disturbingly void of a lid to stop little fingers poking around
Andrew, a helpful museum worker, heads over to ask if we want to play with the rats, which have been moved around the different halls since I discovered the Museum is the ideal rainy day spot for kids, about seven years ago.
"Carry me now," says my 4-year-old daughter, Georgie, climbing up my legs. She seems to be finding the experience more weird than wonderful so far.
I take her over to a wooden cabinet covered in bilingual phrases related to the displays. We open the doors and inside is a video of dolphins frolicking in the sea.
This calms her nerves.
Weird and Wonderful has always been one of the top three attractions at the museum and has recently re-opened. Its themes range from a science lab to the South Pacific, then land, a birds' nest and lastly, under the Earth.
We sit down at the new iPad learning section and Andrew shows us a puzzle game that features layers of a bug's life cycle. Georgie is a puzzle wizard, so she is happy with this while Andrew explains how on the first day of the display's re-opening a little girl cracked the password to the iPads and went around taking pictures.
"Have you changed the code from OOOO now?" asks a passer-by.
Andrew tells me the puzzles are great because the kids can't lose the pieces. There are science apps loaded for all ages and they are a great addition to the room.
I finally drag Georgie away and we stop at the locusts, black field crickets and cockroaches scrambling over plastic bottles and plates.
"This is what happens when you don't clean your room," I tell her as she looks in horror at the bugs, agreeing never again to make a mess.
After the creepy-crawlies, we head up to the new display area: the nest.
Tucked away up high, overlooking the "under the ground" section, is a tiny room with beanbags and books about birds such as Sirocco the kakapo, kiwi and Georgie's favourite, the pukeko.
The "nest" is made of black wire and gives the hut a nice dark mood. We sit back in the beanbags as I read about the red eyes and bill shield of the pukeko. Soft music plays in the background as people rush around below us. It's so cosy, I wouldn't mind a quick nap.
On the way out of the nest, I show Georgie beautifully illustrated birds' nests covering the walls. Until recently, I thought all birds' nests were the same; however, different species use different building materials and have different shapes and sizes - reflected nicely in the illustrations.
The last section of Weird and Wonderful is about everything under the ground and features a sandpit with glowing bugs squirming around.
Kids can try to make them move in their hands and even though my brain is telling me it's just an illusion, I still squirm a bit when I touch the glow-in-the-dark wrigglers.
As a parent, I love the new gallery with its educational and interactive displays. I'm not sure what Georgie thinks though, as she begs me to take her home.
Later though, we stop at the library and she chooses a picture book about the life cycle of an ant, quite different to her usual Angelina Ballerina, and as she heads to sleep at night, she asks if we can go back to see the bugs tomorrow.
Made in the museum
• Take part in craft sessions at Weird and Wonderful at the Auckland Museum on weekends and throughout the holidays from 10.30am-noon and again from 1.30pm-3pm.
• Skip the Museum cafe and head across to Wintergarden Pavillion Cafe afterwards for an icecream. Go on to feed the ducks and visit the Wintergarden's glasshouses full of weird and wonderful plant life.
