Az ingatlan értékelései
We have pleasant holiday in sunny Roma at Celimontana House. All thinks were perfect.Good location, walking distance Colosseum, Forum Romanum. Close to big supermarket Simple. Andrea is very kind man, explain us everything.
very polite and helpful host, the flat is good equiped and verry quite, excellent for trips to the historic Roma
can be highly recommended without any restrictions
The apartment is very well located (very close to the colosseum) and in a very quiet street. Is is a very comfortable place to return to in the evening after you spent the day walking the city. The Host, Andrea, was very kind and showed us the important things (supermarket, where to get the bus tickets) in the area of the apartment when we arrived. We had a very nice stay.
Great apartment. Close to Colosseum and close to everything - we walked everywhere. On top of that, Andrea is really lovely and accommodating.
A plus is that we did the Eating Italy Cooking Class with Nonna and it was in the building!
Definitely stay here. (And take the cooking class - it was a lot of fun.)
Great stay in Andrea appartment. Andrea was very kind and gave us perfect information about everything. The appartment is really warm,clean and ready to enjoy Roma.
Thanks Andrea
The apartment is, reasonably priced, well-situated near the Coliseum, spacious, and comfortable. Andrea was a very helpful host, pointing out bus routes, the supermarket, nearby restaurants, and other helpful information. I recommend this apartment. We had a good experience.
The place is very nice and pleasant, very well located. Hosts are very helpful and kind, they will offer you any help you need. They were also available on phone during the stay. The appartment is very well equipped, tidy and spacious even too big for two and comfortable for 4. Actually if someone likes to walk there is no need for using the bus as any historical place you would like to visit in the city center is at walking distance. For those who want to take a bus, there is one nearby, though you should be warned that the bus schedule is the mystery of city of Rome, a mystery that we did not manage to solve till the end of the stay ;). Nevertheless we have managed to take this bus few times.
Not to make it too long I do recommend this appartment if you want to have a nice and cosy stay in Rome!
We enjoyed our stay at Andrea's apartment. Andrea was very kind. He welcomed us and showed us around the neighborhood. He gave us tips about where we can eat, grocery shop and take a bus. The apartment was cozy and had a great location. I would love to stay here again if I visit Rome again.
Great location and great host! Even before arriving Andrea and Carla contacted us with suggestions and tips. The appartment was perfect, in nice neighborhood and exactly as discribed. Room plenty for 4 persons. It takes 10 minutes to walk to Colosseum and nice restaurants and 15 minutes to Metro. Busstop around the corner. We will stay there again in future.
The cosy accomodation is perfect for relaxing, it is situated in a quiet street. The Colloseum can be reached within a ten minutes walk, you can also take a bus which brings you to the main places of interest in the historic town centre. Nearby the appartment there is a supermarket and some nice restaurants. Andrea is very kind and helpful and will provide you with useful information. We are looking forward to visit this accomodation again. Mille grazie!

Apple's Backing Puts Gay-Marriage Focus on Obama at CourtGreg Stohr
Gay-marriage advocates, aiming to show broad support as the U.S. Supreme Court takes up the issue for the first time, have enlisted Apple Inc., Morgan Stanley and dozens of Republicans who once held top government positions.
Now they're eyeing the White House.
President Barack Obama's administration has until tomorrow to say whether it will join about 60 companies and a largely Republican group that includes six former governors in urging the court to back gay marriage nationwide.
Obama "has not yet said there is a constitutional right to marry, but he has been very careful not to say there isn't," said Evan Wolfson, president of Freedom to Marry, a New York-based national gay rights group. "The time for him to say it is is now."
The justices will hear arguments March 26 on California's Proposition 8, the 2008 ballot initiative that halted gay marriage in the state after it was allowed for five months.
The corporate group, which also includes Facebook Inc. and Intel Corp., will argue in its brief that gay-marriage bans in 41 states harm workplace morale and undermine recruiting.
"No matter how welcoming the corporate culture, it cannot overcome the societal stigma institutionalized by Proposition 8 and similar laws," the companies will argue.
Former Governors
The Republican brief will include Jon Huntsman Jr., the former presidential candidate and ex-governor of Utah; Christine Todd Whitman, a onetime New Jersey governor who ran the Environmental Protection Agency under President George W. Bush; and three ex-governors of Massachusetts in William Weld, Paul Cellucci and Jane Swift. Gary Johnson, the former New Mexico governor who ran for president last year as a Libertarian, is also part of the group.
In backing gay marriage, they are challenging the predominant view among Republicans. The leading Republicans currently in office, including U.S. House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, oppose same-sex marriage virtually across the board.
"I don't think you're seeing a rift in the Republican Party," Alan Wilson, the attorney general of South Carolina, said at a Bloomberg Government breakfast in Washington yesterday. Wilson, whose state is one of 20 urging the high court to uphold Proposition 8, says he believes marriage must be between a man and a woman.
Another Republican, Theodore Olson, is leading the legal fight against Proposition 8. Olson served as Bush's top Supreme Court lawyer.
More Companies
The publicly traded companies backing gay marriage include Abercrombie & Fitch Co., Alcoa Inc., American International Group Inc., Becton Dickinson & Co., EBay Inc., Marsh & McLennan Cos., NCR Corp., Nike Inc., Oracle Corp., Office Depot Inc., Panasonic Corp., Qualcomm Inc., Sun Life Financial Inc., Xerox Corp., Zynga Inc., Barnes & Noble Inc. and Caesars Entertainment Corp.
A larger group of companies -- more than 200, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. -- is also poised to side with gay-rights advocates in a second Supreme Court case, involving a federal law that defines marriage as a heterosexual union. Under that law, known as the Defense of Marriage Act, legally married gay couples can't claim the federal tax breaks and other benefits available to opposite-sex spouses.
The companies in that case are part of a collection of more than 250 employers, including cities, counties and law firms.
Influential Briefs
Although the high court often ignores so-called friend-of-the-court briefs, at times they can shape the way some justices view a dispute. When the court upheld university affirmative action in 2003, the majority opinion relied on briefs filed by corporations and former military officers touting the benefits of racial diversity.
In a filing last week in the Defense of Marriage Act case, the Obama administration hinted that it may also call on the court to overturn Proposition 8. In arguing against the federal law, U.S. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli said gays have endured a history of discrimination and should be afforded special protection under the Constitution, much like racial minorities and women.
A call to make same-sex marriage a constitutional right would be a shift for Obama, an opponent when he ran for the White House in 2008. Even after announcing his support last year, he has said states should take the lead on the issue.
One possibility is that the administration takes an incremental approach, urging the court to reinstate same-sex marriage in California without affecting the 40 other states that prohibit the practice.
The cases are Hollingsworth v. Perry, 12-144, and United States v. Windsor, 12-307.

You'd think it would take a pretty big toolkit to prepare the Martian surface for human life. Not necessarily, at least at the level of a human habitat, according to Robert Richmond of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. In fact, the components may prove to be surprisingly, even microscopically, small in size. And although it is perhaps still too early for would-be planetary travelers to begin packing, the notion of terraforming Mars—altering its environment to allow for human habitation—is one that, for many scientists, has recently evolved from pure science fiction to theoretical possibility.
One significant reason for the surge in optimism is a series of discoveries suggesting that extremophilic organisms—those that thrive under extreme environmental conditions—may be uniquely equipped to serve as vectors of change on Mars's inhospitable surface. Among the most promising of those organisms is the bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans, which has been found in many types of soil and such unappealing spots as sewage systems and animal fecal material. Richmond, a radiation biologist at the Space Flight Center, along with Michael Daly of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and Rajagopalan Sridhar of Howard University Medical Center, has been testing the limits of D. radiodurans in the hopes of harnessing its unusual characteristics for just such a toolkit (Proceedings, International Society for Optical Engineering, v. 3755, pp. 210–222.)
It is widely accepted that current planetary conditions on the immediate surface of Mars eliminate the possibility of sustaining life as we know it: Low atmospheric pressure and surface temperature combined with relatively high levels of ultraviolet and ionizing radiation would appear effectively to prevent the long-term survival of organic life. In the 1970s, the Viking missions established that Martian soil contains high levels of certain metals and oxidizing species. To survive such a noxious environment, an organism must be highly resistant to oxidizing conditions.
Hence the excitement over D. radiodurans. Not only can this bug withstand extreme amounts of radiation (whence it receives its name), but it has proved quite resistant to the effects of peroxides and other oxidizers as well. And when subjected to desiccation, freeze-drying and exposure to solar-flux ultraviolet radiation, the organism fares extremely well. Its multiple resistances have led Richmond and his colleagues to term the bacterium a "polyextremophile." Although scientists have documented the existence of extremophiles living in isolated environments like deep-sea hot vents or hotsprings for decades, rarely, if ever, has an organism been found to withstand such a wide array of extreme conditions.
What makes the research so thrilling, says Richmond, is the "chance to actually uncover the utilities of the bacterium and not just isolate and classify it."
Those possible utilities have increased dramatically in number since the successful sequencing of the bacterium's genome in November 1999. Sequencing the DNA revealed that many copies of the genome are present in any given bacterial cell in register—all the bases making up the DNA sequence are lined up in the same way, and the sequence itself is full of repetitions. It has since been proposed by Daly and coworkers that D. radiodurans's durability is the product of an efficient and highly accurate repair system: If exposure to radiation damages one strand of DNA, another strand may serve as a template. This hypothesis provides an explanation for each of the microbe's resistances. Thanks to its efficient repair system, D. radiodurans can survive any number of extreme environments.
With a more thorough understanding of what causes D. radiodurans's multiple durabilities, scientists such as Daly are now working to genetically engineer the bacterium to perform work that people cannot. After all, Richmond says, "you must always think of the organism's utility in managing a habitat—you have to put the bug to work for you." Because it could successfully withstand the high levels of oxidants found on the Martian surface, D. radiodurans might be engineered to detoxify the soil. In Daly's lab, for example, he and his colleagues insert genes that code for an enzyme capable of oxidizing organic toluene, thereby rendering this toxic component of organic solvents harmless to humans. It may be possible to engineer a bug capable of reducing iron or manganese ions to their elemental forms, thus reducing the concentrations of noxious substances, and advancing one step closer to the creation of a habitable space.
In fact, NASA is considering launching probes to specific Martian sites. This allows consideration of the use of extremophile organisms such as D. radiodurans to begin microterraforming small surface areas. The bacteria could begin transforming the harsh and uninhabitable Martian terrain in such a future scenario into one capable of sustaining human life. At its most fantastic, terraforming involves the alteration of an entire planet's environment, but, realistically speaking, says Richmond, we can perhaps imagine modifying the oxygen and soil content of a small room, several cubic meters in area, in direct contact with the habitat.
When can we expect microterraforming to occur? Obviously, planetary biologists are still investigating the possibility that life might exist on Mars without human intervention, and they will want to be certain of its sterility before infecting it with engineered bacterial colonies. The notion of interplanetary contamination raises many difficult ethical questions, and although the NASA Planet Protection Committee has developed strict guidelines to prevent the contamination of other planets, it will most likely prove difficult to maintain such regulations if and when humans do land on Mars.
What D. radiodurans can provide is a microscopic (and therefore easily portable) factory—a kind of terraforming toolkit—from which any number of products potentially can be derived. Whether it is engineered to reduce metals, produce drugs for ailing astronauts or simply manufacture the polymers necessary for the production of thread, D. radiodurans, one of the world's oldest bacteria, may provide a means of expanding the limits of the human imagination beyond the written sci-fi page.—Rebecca Sloan Slotnick

The documentary moves past the headlines and takes an in-depth look at the hot-button issues of legal and illegal immigration. "Beyond Borders" explores the psychological forces driving the immigration controversy from both sides of the debate.
According to the Beyond Borders Web site, "in search of a middle ground, the film looks at the issue across the United States and beyond to give voices to those on the front line of the issue including candid interviews with Border Patrol agents, radio celebrities, demographers, the Minute Men, potential migrants and experts including Noam Chomsky, MIT professor emeritus of linguistics, philosopher, political activist, author and lecturer (featured in the film lecture, 'Distorted Morality') and Gustavo Arellano, author of the book, 'Ask A Mexican.'"
According to The Daily Aztec, San Diego State University independent student newspaper, "the documentary brings home the dilemmas facing immigrants from around the world and is a must-see for anyone sitting on the fence on the immigration issue, no matter which side of the fence they live on."
The film will be shown only at a few universities across the United States including Yale Law School, Emory University, University of Southern California and Georgetown University.

17 Winning Words From Past National Spelling Bees
On Thursday, Arvind Mahankali from New York spelled "knaidel" (a small mass of leavened dough) to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Here are 17 of the most interesting words from the Bee's 88-year history.
1. Gladiolus, 1925. The word (a type of flower) is notable not due to its complexity, but because it was the first-ever winning word.
2. Albumen, 1928. The white part of an egg.
3. Promiscuous, 1937. I just like the idea of an eight-year-old asking the judges to use it in a sentence.
4. Crustaceology, 1955. The study of crustaceans, of course. Doesn't it roll off of the tongue nicely?
5. Syllepsis, 1958. This is a complicated definition: "A figure of speech in which one word simultaneously modifies two or more other words such that the modification must be understood differently with respect to each modified word." Say what? How about an example from Dorothy Parker: "It's a small apartment. I've barely enough room to lay my hat and a few friends." There's also the Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Woman": "She blew my nose and then she blew my mind."
6. Smaragdine, 1961. Of or pertaining to emeralds, or having the color of emeralds. "What beautiful smaragdine eyes you have."
7. Esquamulose, 1962. Not covered in scales or scale-like objects. Can we bring this one back? "Hey, Jessie. You're looking especially esquamulose today."
8. Maculature, 1979. Paper waste and printed materials not intended for reading, AKA junk mail. You might consider those five Oriental Trading catalogs you never signed up for maculature.
9. Elucubrate, 1980. To produce by long and intensive effort, especially in reference to literary work.
10. Odontalgia, 1986. The next time you have a sore tooth, impress your dentist by telling him you're suffering from odontalgia. It's just a fancy word for toothache.
11. Antediluvian, 1994. Ancient, antiquated or supremely dated. Have a friend who's hitting a milestone birthday soon? Up the ante by referring to them as "antediluvian" instead of the totally overdone "over the hill."
12. Vivisepulture, 1996. The act of burying someone alive. Famous people terrified of being buried alive (also known as taphephobia, another great spelling word): Hans Christian Andersen, George Washington and Frederic Chopin.
13. Euonym, 1997. A name well suited to a person, place or thing.
14. Chiaroscurist, 1998. Chiaroscuro is a style of monochromatic shading used in art, but I like it because it makes me think of Trogdor.
15. Succedaneum, 2001. A substitute or replacement for something else, especially in reference to medicine.
16. Prospicience, 2002. Foresight.
17. Pococurante, 2003. Apathetic or indifferent. Even though you're not studying for the SATs anymore, maybe you should be a little less pococurante about expanding your vocabulary.

Since the introduction of the Soft Loc Quiver System it has only gained in popularity. The Alpine Archery Soft Loc 3 Arrow Quiver quickly became known as the quietest, mid-priced quiver available. When mounted on a bow, this quiver actually reduces felt vibrations therefore acting as a great and very practical vibration dampener. The many awards for quality and innovation have posted this system to be quoted as The best quiver system on the market! As with any good hunting dog, bloodline means everything. The patented Soft Loc Quiver is no different. The beauty of the system is the extreme versatility of the quiver itself due to the unique rubber mount and dual guide rails. Attach or detach the quiver quickly and quietly. Vertical adjustment, vibration dampening, and hip holster adapter are all features that a great quiver must have. All are present in the Soft Loc family.
If you are looking for a quiver that is unequalled in quality, innovation, dampening, and price, look no further than the Alpine Archery Soft Loc 3 Arrow Quiver!

text: Earlier this year I painted my wheels black which I think looks good but I am suffering a few scratches & will have a few days off soon so thinking about changing them up. Since my black doesn't really match the black of the truck nor look flat or matte, I was thinking about painting them with the graphite color wheel paint (Did this to my Mustang black to graphite & it covered & held up well with a slight change in color) The real suggestion I need is I don't want the wheel lip to be the same color I had left the stock silver on the Mustang & it looked good & helped when having a flat fixed, but I'm thinking about going with a red lip if I can find a high temp gloss red seems like everything is flat. Any suggestions on this matter? Thanks

Staying in a city hotel is exciting, but retreating to the bucolic vistas of a working farm breeds a certain state of bliss that few bed and breakfasts can cultivate. Escape the business of the big city and gather peace of mind at Bella Alpacas Farm and B&B in New Milford, Connecticut—a country hideaway in a storybook setting known for its award-winning alpacas.
Knotty log beds outfitted with hand-sewn quilts lend themselves to a distinctively rustic feel, and daily breakfasts made with farm-fresh eggs and yoga classes at the Bhakti Yoga Center down the road in Harmony are a distinctive and shear delight.
Spend the afternoon wandering the working farm to pet the pigs, watch the sheep graze, and admire the exotic alpacas before browsing through splendidly soft alpaca products. Wrap yourself in felt shawls, colorful capes, warm socks, and handsome sweaters before traveling the wine trail to stop and sip at local wineries along the way or to admire the beautiful cascades at Kent Falls. Three nearby ski mountains make finding winter fun a cinch.
Before retiring to your authentic farmhouse room for a glass of wine and a well-earned evening of sleep, be sure to stop by Ristorante Lucia for fine Italian dining. One TripAdvisor raves, "I think [it's] the best Italian food I've eaten outside of NYC, and every bit as good. Everything was fresh. The combinations of food and spices were superb."
Go ahead and bet it all on the farm—breed a state of calm, collected cool with this cozy country retreat to Bella Alpacas Farm and B&B.
"What a beautiful, peaceful place. The alpacas are wonderful and so much fun to be around. The rooms were lovely with log beds with a comfy mattress. [We] took a fabulous yoga class and got an aromatherapy treatment. We were in heaven."-- BedandBreakfast.com

UTSA Spotlight: Vice Provost Jesse Zapata says hosting talented individuals and community programs is one of his most enjoyable duties
By James Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(Feb. 29, 2008)--Jesse T. Zapata has witnessed two milestones in the history of UTSA -- the celebration of the first decade of the Downtown Campus and 13 years of UTSA's presence downtown. A member of the faculty since 1976, Zapata is vice provost of the Downtown Campus and dean of the College of Public Policy. In addition to being a professor and administrator, he is an advocate for UTSA's presence in the city center and a visionary for the urban campus' future.
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
As the Downtown Campus' top administrator, Zapata's main responsibilities include overseeing day-to-day operations and delivery of the curriculum. That means having the space to hold classes, the professors to teach them and the services to support them. To that end, he oversees the Downtown Campus Council, a team of advisers representing various aspects of the university including student affairs, business affairs, academic affairs, and services ranging from parking to food services, to library resources.
Concurrent with his administrative duties is Zapata's mission to promote the Downtown Campus and its programs to the community. His perception of the campus is that it is a concrete symbol of access to higher education. From his point of view, things were not easier or more difficult a decade ago, but things have changed.
"Ten years ago, there was more effort in selling the idea of a downtown campus to UTSA and the community," he says. "Today, it's about prioritizing what we can do here. We have several programs that want to come downtown or expand their presence here -- we just need the space to do it."
With the campus firmly established in the community, the focus is on academic achievement, intellectual growth and contributions to both academia and the community. An example Zapata cites is the Great Cities Dialogue, the College of Public Policy's distinguished speakers series.
Recent presentations have engaged academic and community representatives alike and helped define the Downtown Campus as a crossroads of principle and practice. Zapata believes that the establishment of the campus earned the university a seat at the table in envisioning San Antonio's growth and innovation.
Watching the campus achieve benchmarks of 3,000 and 6,000 students enrolled has been a great source of pride for Zapata. The university's decision to base programs at the Downtown Campus, including the College of Public Policy, the College of Architecture and the counseling program in the College of Education and Human Development validated his confidence in a campus in the city's urban core.
Hosting talented individuals and community programs that open dialogue for learning remains among Zapata's most enjoyable duties as a UTSA administrator.

Class Notes Profiles
Secret millionaire exposed
The secret is out about Marcus Lemonis, Arts '95.
Lemonis made his fortune selling the RV lifestyle. But last summer, he spent a week living in a roach-infested, double-wide trailer in Miami when he went undercover as a star of ABC's Secret Millionaire. His episode aired in August.
"I've had a very blessed life and to go back to my hometown of Miami was not only humbling but extremely emotional," says Lemonis, who lives in the Chicago area and is chair and CEO of Camping World and Good Sam.
Under the pretense of filming a documentary about nonprofits, Lemonis left his cell phone and credit cards behind and spent a week driving a rusted-out van, looking for organizations in need of help.
"People kind of scratch their head about reality TV and ask, 'Is it real or is it staged,'" says Lemonis, who appeared twice on NBC's Celebrity Apprentice. "I will tell you, everything is very authentic."
In Miami, he worked at a home for women who have transitioned out of foster care, a nonprofit that provides school clothes for kids, and an anti-bullying organization. The experiences hit home with Lemonis, who has had his share of challenges: He was abandoned as a baby in Beirut before being adopted by an American family, and was tormented by bullies and bulimia as an overweight youth.
"I ended up breaking down more than I thought I would," he admits about the show. "You do a lot of thinking and soul searching, and you leave eternally changed."
Once Lemonis' identity was revealed, he gave the organizations nearly $250,000 and continues to support them financially.

Crews at Asarco Site Ready for Demolition
Only a few weeks before stacks fall
EL PASO, Texas - Shortly after sunrise on April 13, El Paso's Asarco smoke stacks are planned to fall to the ground, almost simultaneously, in an explosive demolition lasting less than thirty seconds.
"I have never seen more consideration and involvement from the community go into a demolition project as I have this one," Environmental Resources Management manager Michael Casbon said. "Every safety measure has been taken -- over and above."
That may have something to do with the placement of the stacks. The 612 and 828-foot stacks are situation within closer proximity to a foreign country, an international waterway, a major U.S. freeway and a small neighborhood.
Casbon says years worth of work have gone into the plan, initially a smaller demolition and site-rehab project.
When El Paso activists were unable to come up with the money to save the smoke stacks from destruction, demolition plans were finalized.
"Gravity's actually going to do the work, when you take those legs out, it's kind of going to sit down and it'll then go over on the hinge points," Casbon said. "They'll fall over like a tree."
Casbon says a protective layer of carbon bedding and soil will capture the stacks' debris, from the broken concrete. He says around 20 snow-machine-like misters will catch the dust particles, causing them to fall to the bedding instead of drifting into the air.
Though the debate has ended, the controversy has not. A last-minute march is planned in downtown Wednesday, protesting the demolition of the stacks.

1-15-1924 -- 9-23-2013
It comes with great sorrow that our beloved mother and grandmother Ellan Furber Fitzgerald has left us for heaven.
She leaves behind her son William Warner Rieck (Kathy) and daughter, Diana Kirk; grandson Benjamin Fauquenot and son #2 Jeffery Kirk; a sister, Judith Jones (Robert); nieces Jennifer and Janette Jordan and grand-nephews Robert, Rory, Seth Jones, all from Arizona; and of course the grandpuppies, Lola and Chesai. She was preceded in death by her parents, Louis E. Spiedel and Lucy E. Furber.
She had two great loves of her life, Warner Emil Rieck, our father, and Richard Frances Fitzgerald. After too many Michigan winters she moved her children south, eventually landing in Key West in 1968. She found employment as an office manager for Floridian Pest Control for 30 years. Richard moved to Key West and took a position at Florida Key Community College as a teacher and they began a life of great love and devotion to each other, family and friends. On Dec. 13, 1986, they married at St. Mary's Star of the Sea Catholic Church.
A friend of Bill W.'s for 46 years, she helped establish the first clubroom on the corner of Day and Simonton streets, painting the 12 Steps on the wall. She worked her program and sponsored other ladies seeking the same. In her later years, she established meetings at Samuel's House and the Monroe County Jail.
She was one of the founding members of Zonta Key West, holding the office of treasurer for several years. She volunteered several days a week, answering the phone for Helpline in service to others.
Our mother was an artist, photographer, model and flamboyant; we will miss her very much.
We would like to thank Dr. Olson and his staff for the years of care devoted to our mother. A special thank you to Jill Wallace, who was our mother's caregiver, companion and friend.
Please join us to celebrate her life at 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 5, at Dean Lopez, 214 Simonton St., Key West, Fla.

Where I stayed
I sat down for 2 minutes at the next subway, then an empty train came, and got a seat. Finally, 40 minutes later I was at my hostel.
I stayed in the area of Villa Madelena, an artsy area, safer than the city centre and recommended by lonely planet. Got my bunk and I met Jim from Uganda. Sadly, where I worked in the banking industry for over 6 years, after 5 minutes of talking to him, my first thoughts were a money launderer, and what was he going to try to get me involved in? But, my first impressions were very wrong. He was over aggressive with the ladies, talked about business forever, but a pretty decent guy.
I was exhausted, so showered, and this is where I see the left over remains of my back and shoulders from Rio, skin is peeling everywhere and a shower has made it dry and incredibly itchy. I'm walking around my dorm, trying to itch my back on anything I can find. Man, it was agony! Typically, the worst area I couldn't reach with my hands! Man!!
Anyway, that soon died down, I had a few hours sleep to catch up with myself.
After, I explored the area I was in, grabbed a pizza for lunch, a size of pizza that in the UK I could eat in one sitting, but here, it would last over three meals, very unlike me!
After hanging out with Jim for a while, I popped off to some bars to find the Utd Marseille game, I ended up watching Inter - Bayern and during that time, booked myself two flights and sorted out my next week of travelling, Amazing what you can do with a simple itouch and wifi!! Sadly, I am not going to Salvador. My friend Stuart in Lima had a friend there he was going to hook me up with but to continue onto Belem, flights were $700, Rio to Belem, $200, so no choice really.
That evening, still tired out from an airport sleep and all the activities in Rio, I called it a night.
Temperature 30C
Miles walked 1,65
Day 52 February 24th - Had a great night sleep, it was hot but I was exhausted. Some people came in late but it didn't really make much difference.
At breakfast, I had cake. In Brazil you have cake for breakfast. I love this concept. In Rio, cake for 7 days. Sao Paulo, cake. Sorry cereal and toast, from now on it's cake!! This was white cake, very soft and spongy. Everyday in Brazil is a cake day.
I sat with Jim at breakfast and an awesome girl from the UK, Laura. Turns out, just before I sat down, Jim grabbed Laura's butt and said she reminded him of an African lady, so she was very grateful when I sat down and sort of took over the conversation. Laura has been travelling with a friend (Lucy) for months now and only had two weeks left. Both have very patient boyfriends left at home, I'm sure they are now counting down the days. They are to finish their trip with carnival in Rio, then back to Blighty.
My plan today, was to head into the city, grab my bus ticket and explore this dense city.
Two subway connections later, I've bought my bus ticket and am wandering around the streets of Sao Paulo. It is hot, sticky and a busy day. I got loads of interested looks on the subway, I guess they assume gringos are too afraid to ride the subway, but the subway is quick, efficient and very clean compared to the New York subway. I got out at the Luz stop and spent 3 hours walking around the parks, the CBD, Centro, Av de Republica and got a good feel for the city and it is not as dangerous as you would expect. Well, during the day at least.
At one point it absolutely tips it down so I grab shelter and wait for the 5 minute thunder storm to pass on.
I like Sao Paulo, I haven't undertaken a tour, cash is tight and I'm only in the mood for randomly wandering, not an organised tour where I have to concentrate.
I am also not feeling so great, probably dehydrated, so I am taking my time.
My city wandering session ends at Edificio Italia. A building that has a restaurant on the 41st floor with a panoramic view of Sao Paulo. Between 3pm and 4pm it's free to ride up to the top and suck in the view. Just like London, to the naked eye, Sao Paulo has no end.
I head back to the hostel, where I find the same people that were sat in the communal area watching DVDs on their laptop, were still there 6 hours later. I guess they had been there too long!
For the evening, I had two slices of leftover pizza before I bumped into the two British girls (Laura and Lucy) in my dorm, the place was booked up so they had to enter a male dorm. They were about to head out for sushi and asked me to join them, perfect.
On the walk to the Sushi place, Laura asked me, so what's it like being ginger in South America? A great question, I had to ask in what context, but they went on to discuss that they have a ginger friend in Argentina who says he's had a life promotion since leaving the UK. Very funny, maybe similar to how I felt living in the States.
Sushi was awesome, company was even better. These two had great stories, very funny to talk to and a welcome break from the quiet boring people in the hostel watching DVDs.
We finished Sushi and went in search of some beers, when we heard some fireworks and drums. Instantly Lucy went on her way to investigate. We found a community centre, full to the brim of people playing the drums, samba dancers shaking their stuff and everyone drinking cans of beers. These women were stunning but had a huge sweat on, then the whole place emptied and continued on the street. The beat was awesome, the atmosphere electric and all you could do was stand and watch, and shake your butt a little, not like some who could wiggle in the Olympics!!
Every now and then, a whistle would blow, everyone lifted their instrument above their head and cheered. What a start to the year, in the UK, we are miserable, and have little happening in the early part of the year, well, pancake day, but apart from that, nothing. This Catholic continent, have carnival, they practice and they dance and the feeling is like nothing else I've seen. Everyone is happy, everyone is moving and I start to think, I should be seeing a carnival.
But not yet.
We head off and down a few more beers, I loved the company of Laura and Lucy, awesome people and we enjoyed good banter and laughter. Laura has a �Gavin and Stacey� situation going on, she's in Windsor, he's in Cardiff, but she'll be in Cardiff soon. Not sure where Smithy is....!
Get back to the room, luckily Jim is asleep, so the girls can get to sleep without any hassle!
Miles walked 5,23
Temp 30C
Day 53 February 25th - Had breakfast with the girls. I had a lunchtime bus to a beach town called Paraty. I'll be spending three days their as I'm not going to Salvador.
Bags packed, it was two connections to go to the bus stop. Sad to say goodbye to the girls, it's always great meeting people on your wavelength.
It's not long before I'm on my bus feeling sick as we're driving around some mountains again, great.
Hey Ant, my peeling is also driving me insane! mmmm cake!
...what's was the point of taking all that suncream if you don't use it! Ah-man! I could eat cake for breakfast all daylong!

LINE Commission releases report on future of nuclear energy in Idaho
BOISE, Idaho - The Idaho Leadership in Nuclear Energy Commission released its draft report Monday.
The panel was created by Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter to study Idaho's future position in national nuclear research.
Among the commission's recommendations is a "high burn-up" fuel storage demonstration that would involve 15.5 metric tons of used nuclear fuel and initial state funding for start-up of a "national reactor test bed" for hot testing of nuclear reactor components.
The report also outlines a big role for the Center for Advanced Energy Studies in Idaho Falls to include studies of water quality, education and training.

Washington doesn't like to talk about its use of military drones very much. No wonder: they just might be illegal under U.S. and international law...to say nothing of the Administration's so-called "targeted killing" program and its insistence that even U.S. citizens are legitimate targets of warfare from afar.
So-called experts who have examined drone technology tend to have a common thought about it: Drones, whether military or just for surveillance, are here to stay and we should get used to the idea of having them. From both a military/security and civil liberties standpoint, some folks will beg to differ.
To address the matter of drone warfare, on Monday May 13 Paul George, Director of the Peninsula Peace and Justice Center, will be the guest of Peace Action of San Mateo County with a talk entitled "Joystick Warfare - On the Legality and Morality of Combat Drones."
We are honored to have Paul reprise the presentation he gave in Cupertino April 16. In this forum, we will take a look at the U.S. drone program: Where and how often are drones being used to launch missiles? Who are the targets? And who is actually being killed by the drones? Most importantly, he'll raise the question: Should our country be using combat drones in its citizens' names?
Paul George has been an activist and grassroots organizer for peace and human rights for over 45 years, and has also been PPJC's director since the mid-1990's. He is a highly regarded and frequent public speaker (including at various PASMC events over the years) on a range of topics. In the course of his career, Paul has traveled to war zones to witness firsthand the profound effects of U.S. foreign policy on ordinary people. On May 13 we will be honored to have his expertise and his commitment to peace.
The UUSM is wheelchair accessible.

Andrews, Max. "Howard Hodgkin." In Bits & Pieces Put Together to Present a Semblance of a Whole: Walker Art Center Collections, edited by Joan Rothfuss and Elizabeth Carpenter. Minneapolis, MN: Walker Art Center, 2005.
© 2005 Walker Art Center
When it opened in Minneapolis in 1965, the Walker Art Center's London: The New Scene was the most significant exhibition of young British art to have been staged in America since the end of World War II. The favored metaphor was one of fog lifting over London to reveal a newly "swinging" art scene. The show was a hit, heralded by local headlines such as "Museum Can Be Rollicking Place to Enjoy," while over the pond the London press tagged its artists the "Minneapolis 13."1
Howard Hodgkin, thirty-two years old at the time, was selected to exhibit alongside other rising stars—including a twenty-seven-year-old David Hockney, a thirty-three-year-old Bridget Riley, and a thirty-two-year-old Peter Blake—in a show of remarkably prescient leaps of curatorial faith.2 The exhibition received a great deal of press coverage, though Hodgkin's paintings were given scant attention. They could not be easily lumped with the suburban Pop sensibility that many of the artists exemplified (though some commentators tried), or with the geometric abstractions of other painters. Such a lack of press suited the artist just fine; in fact, he professed a hatred of being treated as "news."3 Despite this critical reticence, his stature steadily grew. By the 1980s he was widely celebrated, representing his country at the 1984 Venice Biennale and receiving the second Turner Prize the following year.
Hodgkin's paintings are concerned with direct interpersonal communication and a self-consciously old-fashioned necessity to conjure emotional states in paint. They are typified by often riotously saturated, almost fauvist colors with paint distributed from impasto blobs to wide fluid veils. Gestures often spill out onto the frames as if their exuberance couldn't be contained. Though less explicit in the 1964 Walker-owned work Large Portrait (featured in London: The New Scene), the titles of his works frequently allude to the people or exotic places that triggered them. Going for a Walk with Andrew (1995–1998) is more typical of this trait, as the painting attempts to take on the condition of memory. As the artist describes, "The subjects of most of my work are the relationships between various nameable individual human beings in their surroundings… . I have got to find a two-dimensional equivalent to my three-dimensional experience."4 The Andrew of the title is most likely British art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon, the presenter of the BBC television series Renaissance, whose monograph on Hodgkin was published in 1994.5
See, for example, Martin Friedman, "Young London: The Fog Lifts on a New Scene," New York Times, December 20, 1964. Also, "Museum Can Be Rollicking Place to Enjoy," Minneapolis Star, February 12, 1965, and "Newsight," Daily Mail (London), February 26, 1965. ↩
The exhibition, curated by Martin Friedman, included Blake, Bernard Cohen, Harold Cohen, Robyn Denny, Hockney, Hodgkin, Allen Jones, Phillip King, Jeremy Moon, Riley, Richard Smith, Joe Tilson, and William Tucker. London: The New Scene opened at the Walker before touring to Washington, D.C., Boston, Seattle, Vancouver, and Toronto. Thirty years later, the 1995 Walker-organized show "Brilliant!" New Art from London, curated by Richard Flood, pulled off a similar feat by introducing another generation of young British artists to American audiences. ↩

st: re: ivreg2: No validity tests if just-identified?
Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:38:28 -0400
Jennifer said
I worked quite carefully through the various options in ivreg2 and
ivregress for testing (a) instrument validity (orthogonality etc) and
(b) instrument strength (correlatedness with endogenous regressors).
After doing so, I seem to be arriving at the conclusion that there is
no way to test (a) if the model is just-identified, i.e. if I have the
same number of excluded instruments as I have endogenous regressors).
For example, the Sargan overid statistic, the C-statistic, the LR IV
redundancy test statistic, etc. all don't get produced unless the
model is overidentified. Is that true?! If yes, I would need to rely
on persuasion using economic intuition to make my case that the
instruments are valid, and there are no statistical tools to use?

I can't help but see how strikingly similar Joe Flacco and Eli Manning are. Of course Eli has the 2 rings but both are wildly inconsistent but come crunch time, including playoff time, these 2 always show up. I would love to one day see these 2 go at it in a Superbowl.
Both even have similar nicknames- Joe Cool and Easy E.

Rihanna and Maroon 5 will pull off a Saturday Night Live fourpeat this month when both return to the show as musical guests for the fourth time. Following this weekend's show with comedian Louis CK and fun., the November 10 show will feature Rihanna along with host Anne Hathaway, and the November 17 show will be hosted by actor Jeremy Renner with Maroon 5. In other Rihanna news, the singer will embark on her 777 Tour next month, on which she will perform seven shows in seven days in seven countries. An elite group of fans from her "Rihanna Navy" fan club and more than 150 journalists will board a Boeing 777 twinjet and travel to each of the seven shows. The 777 Tour will kick off on November 14 and close towards November 19, just in time for the release of her new album, Unapologetic. Lastly, Rihanna has been nominated for Best Worldwide Act at the MTV EMAs, happening on November 11 in Frankfurt, Germany. The 2012 MTV EMA will feature performances by Taylor Swift, Muse, No Doubt, Carly Rae Jepsen, fun., Rita Ora, Alicia Keys, Pitbull, The Killers and PSY.
The Smashing Pumpkins were due to spend Halloween performing at Brooklyn's new Barclay's Arena, but due to the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the show is being rescheduled. Details of the new date will be announced soon. Hurricane Sandy has also forced the band to reschedule other east coast shows. Their concert in Camden, NJ will now take place on December 8 and Fairfax, VA will be on December 9. The Pumpkins' show in Uncasville, CT is also being rescheduled with the date to be announced soon. All tickets from the original shows will be honored at the new dates.
Katy Perry will join President Barack Obama at a rally in Milwaukee this Saturday. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports the Pop singer will appear at the event, slated for the Delta Center. Perry performed at an Obama campaign event last week in Las Vegas, wearing a form-fitting dress designed to look like a ballot.In an interview with USA Today, Axl Rose said that fans will not have to wait as long for a new Guns N' Roses album as they did for Chinese Democracy. "I had to deal with so many other things that don't have to do with music but have to do with the industry," Rose said of why Chinese Democracy took so long to come out. "There's such a loss of time. It was more about survival. There wasn't anyone to work with or trust. Someone would come in to help produce and the reality was they just wanted to mix it and get it out the door. They had a different agenda. (The next album) will come out sooner." The singer also explained that everyone is the band is writing music, and "we recorded a lot of songs over the years. We'll figure out what we feel best about. Chinese was done in piecemeal with one person here and one there at different times. Appetite for Destruction was the only thing written with lyrics and melody fitting the guitar parts at the same time. After that, I got a barrage of guitar songs that I was supposed to put words to, and I don't know if that was the best thing for Guns. I do want to lean more toward lyrics and melody."The masked men of Hollywood Undead return with their new single, "We Are," from their forthcoming album Notes From The Underground, which will be released in January. "We Are" reunites the band with producer Danny Lohner [Nine Inch Nails, Puscifer]. Vocalist Johnny 3 Tears explains, "The song is about collective resistance. It's the silent majority, but we're using Los Angeles as the backdrop. Every time we work with Danny, he takes our music to the next level. He's willing to go as far outside the box as we are. As a whole, it's a good introduction to Notes From The Underground because it encompasses the band idealistically. Think of it as an ode to our misled youth."Singer/composer Bill Dees, best known for his songwriting collaboration with Roy Orbison on the hit "Oh, Pretty Woman," died last week at age 73 in Mountain Home, Arkansas, where he had lived since 1989, according to an announcement posted on the website of the Kirby & Family Funeral Home. Dees, a Texas native, is credited with writing scores of songs for artists such as Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn and Glen Campbell. But his work with Orbison proved quite fruitful, as the pair penned other Orbison singles like "It's Over," "Born on the Wind," "Crawling Back," "Communication Breakdown," "Walk On," "Windsurfer" and "So This Is Love." A memorial service for Dees is scheduled for Saturday, November 3.

1.QB Eli= Mike Vick (Mike Vick is the better runner but is that what a QB is all about no) Eli more clutch better passing read defenses better the edge goes to Eli
2.WR= Maclin ,Jackson, Avant,=Cruz ,Nicks, Randle ( he will be the starter and 3rd wr) IMHO the Giants have the better receivers they are more physical are willing to go across the middle and Cruz and Nicks are just as homerun threats as maclin and jackson also better blockers
3.RB= you have the egde but the postion is not as valued as it once was and with Jacobs leaving your losing leadership but you get an speedy athletic pass catching RB with Wilson and the combination of Bradshaw's power I don't know if it is really an advantage for your team anymore.
4.TE= Brent Celic is good not great and Martellus Bennet has a lot to prove this year he is also a big target for a better passing QB in the redzone something Eli desperately needed you know how many more TD'S were left by the giants cause they didn't have a big tall strong fast TE and Randle at 6'3 also gives him that.
5.Secondary yours is consider better but with the loss of samuels I think it got worse and our secondary has T2 back so we'll have to see
6. O-line yours is better
7.D-line ours is definitely better and anyone who say's different is dead wrong we got more depth with Osi and that with Tuck,JPP, Canty. I'll take that line overs anyone's.
8.LB= When Boley went down our defense was all over now with him healthy and JW coming on and kiwi I think that is a formidable LB core so where is the clear cut advantage that your E-girls have I don't see one. I'm personally more worried about the Cow****s more then your E-girls cause Mike Vick I think is very overrated and will be exposed again this year
WR... a rookie is'nt going to help you mush in the beginning and Nicks had a broken Foot... NOT easy to come back from... after that you've got Cruz... He Better step it up because with Nicks recovering and a rookie... HE is gonna be #1 for a bit and I don't think he can handle that YET.
RB... well all i can say is you've got that right... but wilson is known to have fumblitis... which MAY or may NOT be a problem this year
TE... Celek put up darn good numbers for a guy with a bad hip and a sports hernia all last year... he's healthy now... BIG edge to us.
Secondary... Samuel was a liability in press coverage, DRC and Nnamdi are FAR better than he was... and since they are gonna use more Press Man this year... It was a good trade.
O line.... you're right.
D Line.... I think you're underestimating our D Line... 46 sacks last year and all but 5 from the front 4... we also have depth... I think that is about even.
LB... Ryans makes a difference, Rolle is in His second Year, Cheney Becomes a backup, Matthews is a spot guy who will get better, Kendricks LOOKS like a beast... but he's still a rookie so I don't really count on him... all In all... We have an advantage at RB,WR, Secondary, and TE... THAT's Significant.
Mean people suck... Nice People swallow.

Restarting my OSCP journey
Now I am back and I want my OSCP. But before I sign up for the labs again there is one "little" topic which I need to cover. Priv escalation! There are tons of resources abt exploitation but I can't for the life of me, find tutorial or books for priv esc. I would really appreciate some pointers regarding that. Hopefully that should minimize the pain in the labs this time around.

A great place to learn about Australia's Royal Flying Doctor Service operations and history is at the RFDS Alice Springs Visitor Centre, Jennifer Ennion says.
Peter Woolford thought he had a bout of food poisoning when he suffered a stroke one May afternoon in 2010.
He was 60 years old, fit and healthy.
The sheep grazier and owner of Flinders Island, off South Australia, had been going about business as usual.
It was a beautiful day on the island, he'd just finished lunch and was trying to get mobile phone reception.
While rolling up wire, a routine task on the property, he started feeling short of breath and dizzy.
"This massive headache came on and I was vomiting,'' he says from his mainland property at Port Lincoln.
With no reception, he drove 3km to his house. When he arrived, the pressure in his brain started affecting movement in his legs and arms.
He fell to the floor and, paralysed, couldn't reach the house phone to call for help.
Even though he still believed food poisoning was to blame, he thought he was about to die.
Realising he hadn't been in touch as usual, Peter's wife, Pam, began calling.
"The phone just kept on ringing and ringing; it was frustrating,'' Peter recalls.
Almost 18 hours later, Peter was found by his sons on the kitchen floor.
They called the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS), which promptly dispatched a plane from Port Augusta.
"The doctor just seemed to be there in no time, it was just bizarre really,'' says Peter.
The service flew Peter to Royal Adelaide Hospital, where he underwent surgery.
"It was a matter of life and death with the bleed in my head,'' he says.
The stroke had caused Peter's brain to bleed, which in turn led to a blood clot on the right temporal lobe.
He knew how fortunate he had been to receive RFDS help and now, more than two years on, he's recovered well.
Full of praise for the RFDS, Peter says the service isn't only available to accident victims in the Outback.
"They do a lot of transfers and cases like me, which are just totally unexpected,'' he says.
Peter is just one of the tens of thousands of Australians the RFDS has helped since its inception in 1928.
Every year, it provides care to more than 275,000 Aussies.
The RFDS is dedicated to delivering health care services to rural and remote communities, and primarily relies on community donations.
A great place to learn about its operations and history is at the RFDS Alice Springs Visitor Centre, which opened its doors in the late 1970s.
There you can climb inside the nose of a plane, and browse the museum displays, which include a 1926 radio transceiver and a medical cabinet from 1958.
It's fascinating to learn just how far the Flying Doctors have come and just how important their work is.
Qantas flies directly to and from Alice Springs from Darwin, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Cairns.
Fly there with Air New Zealand Book now
There is limited accommodation in Alice Springs. Useful websites include travelnt.com and tourismtopend.com.au.
The RFDS Visitor Centre in Alice Springs includes a museum, cafe and souvenir shop, and tours are also held every half an hour from 9am-4pm.
The centre is open 9am-5pm Monday-Saturday and 1pm-5pm on Sundays and public holidays. It is closed on Christmas and New Years days.

Attorney General will appeal Duke Energy rate hike
Approval granted late yesterday for another rate hike for Duke Energy customers fails to adequately consider the impact on consumers and will be appealed, Attorney General Roy Cooper said Wednesday.
"The order approving this rate hike talks a lot about consumers but doesn't really consider their interests," Cooper said. "Just paying lip service to the challenges North Carolinians face in tough economic times is not enough."
On Tuesday, the North Carolina Utilities Commission approved the latest rate increase requested by Duke Energy Carolinas, which could raise consumers' rates by 4.5 percent for the first two years and then 5.1 percent after that. That increase would allow the utility to make a 10.2 percent shareholder profit and a capital structure of 53 percent equity in a challenging economic climate.
In an April 12 ruling, the North Carolina Supreme Court agreed with Cooper's assessment that state law (NCGS § 62-133) requires the Utilities Commission to determine the impact on consumers before setting an allowable profit margin and agreeing to raise rates.
"The law requires the Commission to set rates as low as possible, and they haven't done that here," Cooper said. "The top court in the state agreed with us that consumers must be taken into account when deciding the utility's profit margin."
The higher rates approved by the Commission yesterday comes on top of a 7.2 percent rate hike for Duke Energy customers put in place earlier this year, which Cooper fought all the way to the North Carolina Supreme Court, winning the ruling that set a new precedent for utility rate cases.
He is continuing to push the Commission to reduce the 7.2 percent rate increase, and is also fighting a 7.5 percent rate increase for Duke Energy Progress, formerly Progress Energy, that was approved by the Commission earlier this year.
According to an analysis by Moody's, North Carolinians currently pay a higher percentage of their household disposable income for electricity than all but six other states in the nation.

Arsenal's Carling Cup victory over Wigan was graced by great goals, fine football - and arguably the finest save ever seen at Emirates Stadium.
Was Lukasz Fabianski's late reflex stop the best Arsenal save you've ever seen? Take a look at these great moments featuring Gunners goalkeepers and tell us what you think.
Lukasz Fabianski
Arsenal 3-0 Wigan Athletic, Carling Cup 4th Round. November 11, 2008.
Fabianski, captaining Arsène Wenger's young side, produced a stunning double-stop in the closing minutes to secure a second successive clean sheet in the competition. The Polish goalkeeper pushed aside a shot from Daniel de Ridder and then showed incredible reflexes and agility to spring up and tip Amr Zaki's close-range effort onto the underside of the crossbar.
Fabianski v Wigan Athletic
Jens Lehmann
Arsenal 0-0 Real Madrid, UEFA Champions League, First Knockout Round. March 8, 2006.
Arsenal secured a 1-0 aggregate win thanks to Jens' brilliant second-half stop. Raul hit the inside of the post from 25 yards, leaving Lehmann grounded. The ball rebounded to the Spanish striker and his second effort seemed to be creeping inside the far corner, but the German keeper got up and somehow managed to paw the ball aside.
Lehmann v Real Madrid
David Seaman
Arsenal 1-0 Sheffield United, FA Cup Semi-Final. April 13, 2004.
Seaman, approaching his 40th birthday, responded to those who felt his best days were behind him with probably the save of his life. Seaman was out of position when Paul Peschisolido nodded goalwards from close-range but, with an equaliser seemingly inevitable, the keeper threw himself across goal and reached back to somehow claw the ball away from under the crossbar.
Seaman v Sheffield United
David Seaman
Sampdoria 3-2 Arsenal, UEFA Cup Winners Cup Semi-Final 2nd Leg. April 20, 1995.
Arsenal had dug deep to take a thrilling tie to penalties and now it was up to Seaman. The keeper saved two of Sampdoria's spot-kicks and then bettered them both with a stunning full-length stop to deny Attilio Lombardo. The Italian struck his penalty firmly but Seaman reached up high to keep the ball out and take Arsenal into the Final.
Seaman v Sampdoria
Bob Wilson
Arsenal 4-0 Manchester United, Division One. August 22, 1970.
George Best rarely missed when one-on-one with the keeper, but on this occasion Wilson stopped the Irishman in style. Best had gone clean through, leaving the Arsenal back four in his wake, and the great man attempted to jink past Wilson. The goalkeeper dived bravely at Best's feet and plucked the ball off his toe. "It was a trademark Wilson save, my speciality," said the man himself.

Reviews of this property
The location was excellent for me. Everything was within walking distance - if you like to run longer. So I could even do without the tram.
All around the streets buzzing life. Because of the many local people and the noise level is high until late evening. Before that, the sound proofing protects pleasant. Also there are many shops, etc., so that a self-catering is easy.
The property itself is clean and functional. It's all in the description. I did not miss anything and I would take the roost again. The shuttle from the airport is very pleasant.
Die Lage war für mich ausgezeichnet. Alles war zu Fuss zu erreichen - wenn man gerne länger läuft. So konnte ich sogar auf die Straßenbahn verzichten.
Ringsherum in den Straßen brummt das Leben. Wegen der vielen Lokale und Leute ist der Geräuschpegel bis spät abends hoch. Davor schützt die Lärmschutzverglasung angenehm. Auch gibt es viele Läden usw., so dass eine Selbstversorgung einfach ist.
Die Unterkunft selber ist sauber und funktional ausgestattet. Es ist alles wie in der Beschreibung. Mir hat es an nichts gefehlt und ich würde das Quartier auch wieder nehmen. Der Transferservice vom Flughafen ist sehr angenehm.
The apartment is very nice, especially the location. Had just been repaired the clogged sink.
Die Wohnung ist ganz nett, vor allem die Lage. Wäre bloß das verstopfte Waschbecken repariert worden.
small apartment but well done and pleasant room, nickel bath, there were problems in wifi but the owner responded quickly. Very serious and professional people.
appartement petit mais bien fait et agréable, salle de bain nickel, il y a eu in problème de wifi mais le propriétaire est intervenu rapidement. Personnes très sérieuses et professionnelles.
Loved my stay here. Located in the Kazimierz district and close to everything! The apartment was so clean and super bright and cheerful. Had a very nice bathroom and shower. Having a small refrigerator was wonderful for breakfast things. Highly recommend the apartment. Greatly appreciated the transfer from the airport as well.
Reviews for this host's other properties
It was a good quality apartment.
The only thing was that the guy was suspicious about me having a new bank card with me, although I payed the money to wimdu weeks before. In the end he wanted to have 200 zloty (around 50 euro) in the case it wouldn't work with paying. If my friend wouldn't have payed it I would have left in that moment. Well, can be, but doesn't have to be.
