Reviews for this host's other properties
everything very well. Very central apartment, very clean and tidy. the person who received us (daniela) very nice. They have been an unforgettable holiday in Rome. the apartment recommended 100%
The appartment more than fulfilled our expectations.
It's spatious, clean and well equipped with a.o. a washing machine.
It's situated at short distance (300m) from the Vatican, in a quiet neighbourhood.
Of course one hears some little sounds from neighbours, but in our perception acceptable.
The host took her time to explain everything in and around the appartment.
Before arrival they made contact to explain how to travel in the city.
In short: we can recommand this appartment. It's worth the money you pay for it.
We were absolutely delighted by the experience we had in Roma.
Manuela welcomed us at the flat, and very nicely explained us all we had to know about the accommodation, but also some tricks and warnings about the city.
The flat is very well located that allowed us to go to the Villa Borghese, the coliseum, and also the Vatican all by walk.
Thank you
everything as expected! quite small but great location! Enough for a short vacation!
This apartment really does have a nice terrace. That is where we ate most of our meals when we ate in the apartment. The apartment is spacious and stylish. It has a well-equipped kitchen and the laundry facilities are very useful. We used the apartment in August during extreme heat and humidity. The apartment does not have air conditioning, but it was comfortable enough using the fan and the dehumidifier. The apartment is on the side of a hill, so that one face looks out above ground with the wonderful terrace. The rest of the apartment is in the hillside and the only other windows are small windows high up on the walls that are at ground level on the other, uphill, side of the building. Because of this, the apartment had very high humidity during the heat of August. If you can't tolerate some dampness, this is not the place for you.
The location is excellent. The entrance to the apartment is off the street some distance, so it is quiet and private. If you look at the area on Google streetview you will see Via di Sant Onofrio is partly stairs. The entrance to the courtyard is half way up those stairs. This is very charming and private, but it also means that are steep stairs involved beyond those you can see on streetview. We did not have any problems moving ourselves and our luggage in and out, but if you are elderly or have mobility problems, you may not be happy with this apartment.
Just at the end of the street there is a tabacchi where you can buy transit tickets, etc. Key bus stops are about a 5 minute walk away (we did not have any problems taking our luggage there and riding the bus to the Terminale train station). There are several convenience stores for buying food and drink. There is a good but full-price restaurant on the corner, but you are about a 5-10 minute walk from the enormous selection of restaurants in Trastevere. We walked to the Vatican, Pantheon, etc from the apartment, and took the bus to the Coliseum. We also enjoyed the night-life set up on the banks of the TIber. Great place to spend an evening!
We stayed three nights and everything right except the wifi that werent enough. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen and bathroom with everything necessary.
Good location near termini, bus and metro lines.
Hemos estado tres noches y todo correcto salvo la conexión wifi que se interrumpía bastante. Las camas eran cómodas, la cocina y cuarto de baño con lo necesario.
Buena ubicación cerca de termini, líneas de autobuses y metro.
Beautiful luxurious apartment in Trastevere. Very close to the center, tram takes you to plaza Venezia in under 10 minutes. Consider this apartment if you are staying in Rome. In my opinion it beats any Hotel!
very nice studio, very well located, very clean, everything worked smoothly, excellent communication in advance.
But, really only suitable for two people.
sehr schönes Studio, sehr gut gelegen, sehr sauber, hat Alles reibungslos funktioniert, hervorragende Kommunikation im Vorfeld.
Aber, wirklich nur für zwei Personen geeignet.
Very good apartment. Q hurts no one to greet us, appeared after 40 min. We were already looking for a hotel. And he did not come at the agreed time to check out. Hs agreed last mail q command would not come ..... wait almost missed train. Arrival and departure stressful !!!! Mo would go through this situation again.
El depto muy bueno . Lastima q no hubo nadie para recibirnos , aparecio despues de 40 min. Ya estabamos por buscar un hotel . Y no vino a la hora acordada para check out . Pasado la hs acordada mando mail q no vendria .....casi perdemos tren por esperarla . Llegada y salida muy estresante !!!! Mo pasaria por esta situacion otra vez .
It is a beautiful authentic and charming apartment. The apartment is situated fantastic and all the 'highlights' of Rome are easily reached by public transport. The reception and the further communication with the city manager Nicola went excellently. The transport from and to the airport went smoothly. The apartment has certainly contributed to a great week in a beautiful city.
Het is een prachtig authentiek en zeer sfeervol appartement. Het appartement is fantastisch gesitueerd en alle 'highlights' van Rome zijn makkelijk per openbaar vervoer bereikbaar. De ontvangst en de verdere communicatie met de citymanager Nicola verliep voortreffelijk. Ook het vervoer van- en naar de luchthaven verliep op rolletjes. Het appartement heeft zeker bijgedragen aan een geweldige week in een prachtige stad.

text: My hive is about 3 weeks old, it's a 10 frame hive that came from a 5 frame nuc. When do I switch my entrance reducer from the smallest entrance to the largest? I worry about robbing, but at times it seems like a very high traffic area. It looks like an interstate backup going into the hive. This is not all the time, but when they are doing orientating flights, or like today when a thunderstorm was coming in. The girls almost got caught out in the storm. It was fun to watch all the foragers coming back to the hive just before the rains came in.

another 2010 ski doo tundra 550 down
Posted 19 January 2010 - 09:23 PM
1. Oil pump failure
2. large cracks in the carb boots.
We've had some discussion here before about the apparently excessive cracking in carb boots on the 550s. Could be that, I suppose. My money is on an oil pump maladjusment/ failure, though.
Sorry for your pain.
Posted 20 January 2010 - 01:10 AM
All happened at slow speeds/partial throttle. My hunch is still mid-range lean condition, pointing right at carb needle jet/needle/pilot jet.
I've seen it many times, on all manufactured sleds. The light bulb going off is it's a brand new sled configuration....same basic motor, but some carb jetting changes appeared to have been implemented.
Some guys are claiming there is a factory service bulletin pertaining to needle adjustments, others claim not so, both stating information from their dealers. There's discrepency right there, so its hard to comment on what BRP is doing.
I might hope someone versed in a Ski-Doo dealership (mechanic), will come on here and lay down the particulars pertaining to the new Tundra. Either that or someone here who's real good friend meets the above criteria will get scoop. Some sleds are going down, others are running fine. That tells me they are jetted on a fine edge, and the difference between go and blow boils down to temperature/altitude/where they are located along with where the throttle lever is at the time.
Course, I'm just taking educated guesses, and until BRP comes up with something that makes sense, we all are.
Posted 20 January 2010 - 01:53 PM
Posted 20 January 2010 - 03:15 PM
Posted 20 January 2010 - 06:31 PM
Once again what is the major difference that ski doo has done to bring so much bad press to this bullet proof motor?
Smaller carbs, different jetting, different pipe, different air box, and attempting to run it as lean as possible to get the best EPA rating they can. Other than those things, it's exactly the same as before.
Posted 23 January 2010 - 03:06 PM
just called my dealer to see if my sled is ready and guess what he told me ? the cylinder is on back order, i wonder why, what a f@#^ing joke. i think the dealer should have to supply me with a sled to use until mine is fixed what do you think?? ski doo has to know there is something wrong this there 550 motor and you would think they would have the b@lls to let it out and the fix the problem
Hi all with 2010 Tundra 550LT
maybe we should compare serial numbers of our machines and see if
we can see a connection on them with error ?
I got a new machine so i cant provide with my old serial number.
but as i posted , my fan went broken and then it got overheated, it didnt damage engine .
but i got a new machine because it was just some days old.
i have my doubts about fuel tank, and i dont think it can fit 40litres/10 gallon.
any one with good ideas about that ?
regards to all new Tundra owners from a snowy Sweden :=)
Posted 27 January 2010 - 01:37 AM
I have been in contact with a dealer who could give me the service bulletin info. based on VIN number. What would be good is to have an early VIN # (one where the motor failed) and a late VIN # (where the motor has not failed).
Posted 07 February 2010 - 03:02 PM
just burned down my 2010 ski doo tundra sport 550 with just 41 miles on it, not happy i sure hope ski doo it looking into this, there looks like alot of 550 motors are burning down with very low miles
Posted 09 February 2010 - 05:40 PM
Posted 09 February 2010 - 06:02 PM
just talked to the dealer and they are going to put different size main jets in the carbs the pto side has a 190 in it and they are going up to a 220 and only 1 size up on the other side
If they haven't done the needle change and verified the oil pump is set correctly and actually working, then CHANGE DEALERS !
Posted 10 February 2010 - 02:21 AM
If that's all they do, and you drive it as you did, $10 says you're back here in a week....unhappy.
Posted 10 February 2010 - 08:00 AM
3rd time: It isn't burning down due to too small of main jets.
If that's all they do, and you drive it as you did, $10 says you're back here in a week....unhappy.
Posted 10 February 2010 - 08:51 AM
Posted 10 February 2010 - 01:30 PM
Further, a good enough relationship that they would be willing to come on here and post their comments?
I don't believe any competent,concerned dealer is sworn to any secrecy with BRP, and posting their own beliefs and concerns is simply their own.
Its so very confusing to me that some know nothing of any bulletin; they simply are repairing burned down motors with no adjustments, so some are coming back with the same issue again. Other dealers are stating the existence of a bulletin and are making adjustments.
As a mechanic myself, there is no way in hell I would ever send a sled back out into the field by just changing components after a serious failure without going after the CAUSE.
For those that had to bring it back after 40 miles with the same issue, shouldn't a light bulb go off in their head?

Please Help! 6 weeks left!
Hi all,
I am in a bind and could really use your advice.
I teach repair and networking not far from my house. I got A+/N+/CCNA.
I have experience with Windows machines, end stations and Server 08'.
My boss said he wants me to teach CEH in as little as 6 weeks from now.
I have no background in security. Also, my students like hands-on, and I hear CEH is more theoretical.
I looked at OSWP - looks SO cool and SO hands-on, but I know zero linux :-(
What do I do? I work almost constantly and have just some study time...
Please guys, this is my job and family...I need some way to know some aspect(s) of security well, and in a way I can offer student's hands-on. (Class is Monday-Thursday from 5pm to 9pm).
Thank you very much for all your help
PS. My dream was CCIE R&S. By Divine providence, my boss got into Windows 7 and Sever 2008, so, so did I. If I can get through these (plus "security"), I'd like to return to CCNP switching.

on Tuesday, December 15, 2009
Experiencing boredom while exercising may be a sign that your current workout program is need of a facelift. To combat boredom, the first thing to do is evaluate what exactly it is about your program (e.g. running on a treadmill) that you find to be boring. Once you've pinpointed exactly what it is that is a bit lackluster, try adding some variety to the activity at hand.

Where Mobility Needs Meet Technology
There are approximately 43
million Americans who
experience some form of disability. Many are
able to function without adaptive or assistive
devices. For those who experience mobility
issues, technological advances may be a key to
helping them achieve a level of independence not
previously available. Approximately 6.8 million
Americans use assistive devices to help them
with mobility issues (Source: Kaye, H. S., Kang,
T. and LaPlante, M.P. (2000). Mobility Device
Use in the United States. Disability Statistics
Report, (14). Washington, D.C.: U.S. Department
of Education, National Institute on Disability
and Rehabilitation Research).
The type of technology can
be an advance in computer-assisted technology or
it can be as simple as a cane or crutches. The
most common form of mobility is the wheelchair.
In many cases, individuals use manual
wheelchairs, with the rest made up of motorized
wheelchairs or scooters. Researchers in the
study quoted previously noted that the majority
of individuals who use mobility devices are
There are many other types
of technology that can be useful to someone who
may be having mobility challenges. Some of these
include global positioning systems (GPS) devices
that can be worn by the blind or visually
impaired, adaptations to automobiles or vans for
accessibility, and even home or building
Where to Begin?
When making assessments of
the technology that is available, it is most
important to step back and take inventory of the
specific mobility challenges that someone may
have. This step is one where many different
people may be able to offer insight. The
patient's physician and nursing staff can make
suggestions of the types of range of motion or
physical limitations that are most likely to be
involved. In addition, rehabilitation staff may
have useful insight since their focus is keeping
the individual as mobile as possible to maintain
independence. Finally, caregivers – both paid
and family members – also have information on a
day-to-day basis of the patient's progress,
limitations, and even areas that can be easily
overlooked by professionals who do not have
moment-to-moment contact with the patient.
Some issues that should be
considered include:
Adding Technology to the Care Plan:
After the family has a
clear idea of the types of mobility challenges
that they may be facing, it is then appropriate
to begin adding technological aspects into the
care plan. Some individuals may easily adapt to
assistive technology while others may not be
able to adjust without caregiver assistance. For
example, several manufacturers are marketing
wearable devices for the blind or low vision
community to use GPS navigation. While the
concept is an excellent one to consider, it may
also be difficult for the person to adjust.
Teaching the caregiver(s) to use the device also
is useful in the event that there are problems
that need to be addressed that the individual
cannot solve.
Research is the key to
adding technology. Some assistive technology has
been in the development stage for many years,
making products more reliable and with more
research available on their use. Other products,
however, are still in the development stages.
With these devices, the patient and caregiver
team need to make careful choices. Some of the
issues that may be considered when researching
The last issue on the list
is one of quality of life more than of hard
dollars and cents, yet it may be the one that is
the most important. Technology can do many
wonderful things to enhance the quality of life
for someone, yet the underlying issue may not
need a sophisticated solution. Families need to
make not only the financial decisions but the
quality of life decisions when deciding if a
product is needed to help with mobility.
Work or Play:
Where Technology Can Help the Most?
Often times technology is
thought of when trying to help an individual
move back into the work place or to make the
workplace more accessible. There are also social
reasons to look at technology as a way to
increase someone's mobility. Social skills and
interaction is where many people are able to
have a creative outlet and increase their
personal network. It may be that mobility is a
primary concern when getting someone to and from
work – or even at the workplace. It may also be
a serious factor in determining how someone is
going to receive medical care.
Families should include
social outings, sporting events, and other
opportunities for entertainment when fashioning
technology to meet the mobility issues of the
individual. A product that provides both work
and health benefits, yet is not responsive to
the social needs of an individual, may not
provide the full solution.
Home Modifications and Technology:
Technology may be able to
play a beneficial role when modifying or
renovating the patient's home due to
accessibility or mobility issues. For example,
some door companies can provide products that
are activated by push panels or remote control
to reduce or eliminate the amount of pressure
needed to open a door. Remote control venetian
blinds can add natural lighting to a room with
little effort. Ramps constructed to either the
outside or inside of the home can make it easier
to move from one room of the house or another
and even to make entering and leaving less
These areas are only a beginning to the ways that
technology can enhance someone's mobility. There
are many other areas to be considered, and with
the rate of technology advances, more products
are in development each day. Even if a solution
is not immediately found, continued research on
the issue can yield answers or avenues of
exploration as advances continue.

You could just not worry about the queen. Break the hive into nucs, cell all of them. On your first inspection the nuc with the queen will be obviously stronger. Besides, there is a fair chance you will spot her without even trying.
Since '09-75H-T-Z6b
If you sprinkle some bee-go on your smoker fuel ....then smoke the bees they will move through the excluder.....even during cooler weather.
Leer Family Honey Farm-Shannon Leer
Now that I went to eight frame mediums, I split them by the box and don't look for anything other than four 8 frame medium boxes full of bees. The queen is wherever she is and the part that is queenless will raise one. I can split a yard in an hour or two, depending on the size of the yard. If I'm wanting to introduce queens, I do it as cells, in all of them. The queenlesss ones will usually accept the queen, and the queen right ones usually get superseded.
But assuming you don't want the queen in it, (so you can introduce queens) I think shaking them all off (or blowing them all off) and putting the frames above an excluder is your best bet.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
I like to crack the hive and check for brood in top and bottom box without pulling any frames. If both boxes have brood top box goes on a new pallet put lids on and move on to the next. Next day or two I'll add cells to all of them add a box with drawn comb and foundation and give them light syrup. 10-15 days later I'll check for eggs and add mated queens if the hive is queenless. This has worked out good for my little operation. I prefer to do my splits day after I get them home from almond, that way all my new splits can stay in the same yard.
I am a hobbyist bee keeper and I come from Malta (I know you're going to say where the hack is Malta but it's a small island beneath Sicily in the middle of the Mediterranean).
My question is, I have a hive and I know that the queen is old I know that she's in there but not laying much. I was thinking to replace her but couldn't find her. If I insert a queen cage with a virgin queen cell inside instead of buying a new queen and I leave it for 4 days with the cage facing down would the old queen be on the cage netting trying to kill the new queen which is yet to emerge (or already emerged in the incubator). I was thinking on hatching a queen cell in an incubator since I never managed to find the queen and to use it as bait to find the old queen.
would it be possible to tell me the correct procedure please or some information please. from inserting the queen cell in the incubator till installation please.
thanks and regard

Accommodation summary
Apartment is on the 4th floor in the building with elevator.
Embrace the character and color of Shoreditch, a creative haven for artists and designers.
In Shoreditch, empty walls are future murals. The neighborhood's industrial warehouses and dingy side streets offer plenty of potential space waiting to be reimagined. Old brick warehouses have transformed into interactive art galleries, and countless buildings have served as Banksy's canvases. Shoreditch's appeal as a creative playground stems (at least, in part) from an urban, gritty underbelly, but clean-cut treasures aren't in short supply—Shoreditch's design sensibilities also influence its trendy pubs and cafes.

Apartment and location were pretty good. Wifi is horrible, there are couple of stairs and specially getting the keys is very complicated. Is not that easy for someone who arrives the first time to get them in a place far from the apartment. Plus flat wasnt B21, was B12 so its kind of confusing.
The apartment was perfect! It was clean, big and very closed to the city centre and to the San Venceslao square. We were in 7 adults and there was enough space for all of us. Nothing negative to say. I will return in this apartment during my next trip in Prague.

I will return in this apartment during my next trip in Prague.
It was a lovely apartment with plenty of space. It was also situated in a very quiet area close to old town square. It couldn't be better.
Perfect location! We where 6 adult staying for 3 nights. The flat is big (I'd guess bigger than stated 130 Square) with good planning. Nice old flat that could have benefited from a tad better shape but still really good.
Nice and charmning apartment that had all the needed equipment. The location could not be better! It was a pleasure to walk outside the door and be in the middle of Prague! Nice service from Katarina and the whole team around Old Town Apartments.
We were very good . The apartment is very spacious , in zone 1 , very equipped and clean although I do not like the carpet . I recommend it to everybody.
very nice apartment, definitely worth the price. The elevator was a little bit of agame, not always working, but that´s all. Likely to rent again. (stayed with 10 people)
What a beautiful welcome to Prague. Two large bedrooms, one with a view looking out over the red-tiled roofs of the city towards the town square. Could not be better located. Friendly pivovars, Charles Bridge and abundant restaurants are all within a 15-minute or less walk.
The apartment was spacious and had loads of character and charm. It is in a wonderful location: close to shops and restaurants and only a short walk to the city centre. We only had two minor frustrations with the apartment: 1) the washing machine did not work too well, 2) the beds were a little hard. Apart from these two minor points we loved the apartment and found the staff professional and very helpful.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Mr Cowboy, Nov 24, 2012.
what does it take for Olgetree to be cut.....
not this season unless jerry jones quit's:laugh2:
His point was that our front office has no idea what it is doing. For those who don't turn a blind eye it is obvious.
That was the only reason he was around in the first place. He had that twinkle in Jerry's eye firing on all cylinders.
Considering he was signed as a G, our starting C is still hurt and our backup is as well, we're pretty lucky he's playing fairly well.
He's a UFA and won't be back.
my thoughts exactly.
Jerry + Jerry = Idiot That's the reason for our problems. Now we know.
Supposedly Garrett and Romo thought a lot of him, too. That's usually where Jerry gets his reports from.
One too many UDFA projects.
Its no different than the times of having 3 or 4 kickers on the roster. This is like letting a special needs kid run an NFL football team. Its horrid, no excuse.
I agree. Probably Lemon?
Yeah jerry had him in the hall of fame before the season ever started.
I never personally heard anyone other than loudmouth say he was the second coming of Robinson.
What does that prove? And more importantly, why does it matter?
I could see people being upset if he had been guaranteed the #3 job, but he didn't play. He's just a cheap, failed, project.
Would you rather they had grossly overpaid for Robinson? He's had one good season and has never managed to stay healthy. They filled the spot with several unproven players, and then cut one of them who wasn't producing.
That's what we thought last year too.
The "poor" roster move is striclty on Garrett and Robinson. Garrett & Robinson should have realized much sooner that Holmes did not have the Talent to play in the NFL. We kept him on the roster during the off season and 12 weeks of the regular season. Do not blame Jerry for being optimistic of a young player. He was an undrafted FA who has no Salary Cap Implications so if Garrett and Robinson wanted to cut him in preseason, I am sure jerry/stephen would not have gone crazy. Stop blaming the GM for the Regular Season. The GM's job is basically over when the regular season starts and the Head Coach is fully responsible for the players and the games by September 1. Injury replacement players and Practice Squad/Waiver pick ups will have some GM involvement though. Based on the board, Garrett got credit for cutting the overpaid/lazy veterans YET Jerry will not allow him to cut a "pet project" who is on a minimum contract.
I don't know if Jerry held up cuting him or not, but its hard to deny that Jerry was talking this guy up as if he were the second coming of Randy Moss. Did he get that info from Garrett? Well, if so, that's one more strike against the red headed step child.

BEVERLEY Kelso struggled to hold back tears during her performance of the Wailers classic, It Hurts to be Alone, during the Tribute to the Greats show at Curphey Place, St Andrew on July 28.
It was more than tears of joy.
Beverley Kelso receives a certificate from Culture Minister Lisa Hanna, while looking on is promoter of Tribute to the Greats Kingsley Goodison.
She provided harmony on the original which was done by the Wailers in 1964 with Junior Braithwaite on lead vocals.
The Studio One classic also features Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer.
Kelso says she is preparing to write a book about her time in one of reggae's great groups.
It is likely to be called It Hurts to be Alone.
"It really hurts because I am alone. From I left the Wailers, I haven't kept any connection with members of the group, Kelso told the Jamaica Observer.
"Not only Bob, but Peter, Bunny, Junior, and myself were very close. They took good care of me. They were loving, and kind. They were everything to me and I did love all of them," she added.
Now 67, the west Kingston-born Kelso lives in New York City. She was one of two females in the original Wailers.
The other, Cherry Green, died in Florida in 2008. Kelso says she was particularly close to Marley, who she knew as Lester when the group lived in the Kingston ghetto of Trench Town.
"Any decision that Bob wanted to make he would come to me and say things. Is like he have a confidence in me," she recalled.
Kelso had long given up the music business in 1979 when she migrated to the United States. She had also lost contact with Marley, Tosh and Wailer who had become big stars.
Braithwaite had moved permanently to the US in the early 1960s. Marley died in 1981, Tosh in 1987, and Braithwaite in 1999.
Kelso was honoured for her contribution to Jamaican music.

Morgan Lucy scored 17 points and Grace Newman and Lexi Fisher 12 points each for Glenwood in a 68-21 victory over Red Oak on Friday in Hawkeye 10 Conference play.
The Stanton girls forced 22 turnovers and held Fremont-Mills to 26.6 percent shooting in a 74-29 victory in the Corner Conference semifinals last Wednesday.
The Knights had trouble navigating the Viqueens' full court pressure and stopping Kadie Subbert. Subbert scored 21 points, blocked two shots and grabbed two steals. Shelby Wagg added 13 and Rachel Sorensen 12 for Stanton.
Lynde Madison led Fremont-Mills with 12 points.
Fremont-Mills 59,
Essex 40
The East Mills boys continued its stifling defensive play in the Corner Conference tournament with a 50-32 victory over Villisca in last Thursday's semifinals.
The Wolverines advance to play Clarinda Academy in the conference title game. The championship game, postponed from Saturday due to inclement weather, will be played Saturday, Jan. 29 at Fremont-Mills High School at 7:30 p.m.
It may not have been a wake up call exactly that the Glenwood basketball team needed after down early 12-5 to Red Oak but something woke his team up following the Tigers' third straight three-pointer, said Coach Curt Schulte.
Interest in next week's public meeting of the group working to establish an archeological interpretive center here has been heightened with the announcement of a $602,478 state planning grant.
Plans call for the center to be constructed on a five-acre tract on the south side of Highway 34 at its intersection with Levi Road. It is at the edge of the 900-plus acre state archeological preserve established in 2009. The proposed building site is known locally as the trailhead for Foothills Park walking trail.
The Glenwood Community School District has wrapped up the purchase of a parcel of land that will serve as the future home of the district's bus barn and maintenance facility.
The district completed the $300,000 purchase of the former Evans Equipment property located at 601 Railroad Avenue on Dec. 1. The district plans to transition the current bus and maintenance facility, dubbed the "bus barn" and located adjacent to Northeast Elementary School, to the new site over the next three months.
The city of Glenwood's search for a full-time city administrator / financial manager could take several weeks.
Until a full-time replacement is found for Mary Smith, who retired as city administrator earlier this month, former Emerson city clerk Michelle Faxon will serve as Glenwood's interim financial manager on a part-time basis. Faxon will be paid $15 per hour and work three days a week for the city. Her hiring, retroactive to a Jan. 6 start date, was approved at last Tuesday's regular meeting of the Glenwood City Council.
The third time did indeed turn out to be the charm for the Glenwood Community School District Instructional Support Levy (ISL).
The special levy, which will help fund the district's curriculum needs, passed by a narrow 51-49 percent margin last Tuesday. The levy received 868 "Yes" votes and 839 "No" votes.
A 20-year-old Glenwood man accused of robbing a Pizza Hut employee in the restaurant parking lot earlier this year has been sentenced to serve 15 years in prison.
COUNCIL BLUFFS - Cold shooting on the big stage of the Mid-America Center was the difference for the Glenwood boys basketball team in a 64-51 loss to Council Bluffs Lewis Central on Friday at the Jennie Ed Sports Med Shoot Out in Council Bluffs.

So I waited until my gas gauge was on E and my Low Fuel light came on. I went home and did a few things "took about an hour" then went to the gas station. When I got to the station I put some GumOut fuel octane booster and Carb/Fuel Injector cleaner and put it into my gas tank before I filled up my truck. I looked how big my gas tank was and it says it is a 31 gallon gas tank but I couldn't even pump 21 gallons and my fuel gauge didn't go all the way to F it was just shy of it tho.

I would not do that, these two estimators just measure different
things, the fixed effects estimator controls for every
characteristic that remains constant, while your model with
clustered standard errors does not. I don't see how you can
compare the results of these two models. The point of presenting
two models side by side is that (it implies that) you can
compare models. If you can't compare those models, than
presenting the models side by side will just result in confusion.
The problem with a large proportion of dropped observations is
that you may need to think again about to what population you
are trying to generalize. For that reason I would look at
wether those that drop out of your analysis analysis are in
some sense different from those that are in the analysis in
terms of your observed variables. If you are lucky there isn't
much difference, and you can, with some arm waving, argue that
it doesn't matter. If there are considerable differences, than
I would just mention that, and at the very end of your paper
discuss some hypotheses of how this may influence your estimates.
Remember that you are trying to do something that is by
definition impossible: get an empricial estimate of an effect
while controlling for stuff that you haven't seen. So do not
expect to get the right answer. What you should aim at is to
look at your data as containing some information on the effect
that you are interested in; it is not enough, but it is not
zero either. There are now a variety of strategies you can
follow to extract that information. Pick one, and do that
one right. There are two reasons for that. First, using these
strategies right is hard (not surprising as they try to solve
an unsolvable problem...), so it really pays to focuss on one
strategy. Second, it is much easier this way to write your
paper in a way that it helps the reader to follow what data you
have used and what information it contains that help you get
an idea of what the effect of interest is (and what "information"
comes from the (untestable) assumptions underlying your strategy).
Others (or you in a different paper) can later use other
strategies. After a sufficient body of literature has been
assembled on this question, someone can try to summarize the
different finding.
Hope this helps,

Revision as of 22:04, 19 February 2013
The Trimslice is one of the most powerful ARM devices available and features a variety of connectivity options. At this time there is no support for a display and the Trimslice boots to a serial console.
Technical Specifications
- 1 GHz NVIDA Tegra 2 (dual-core ARM Cortex A9)
- HDMI 1.3 max resolution 1920 x 1080
- Gigabit Ethernet (Realtek RTL8111DL)
- 802.11 b/g/n WiFi
For more information on the Trimslice visit their website.
Running Fedora on a Trimslice
This page will give you detailed instructions for running Fedora 17 GA on your Trimslice. There are two images to choose from on the Trimslice please choose the appropriate image for your target media - SD card or SATA/USB drive.
Download the image
The first step is to download the Fedora 17 image. The prebuilt images include kernels and can be written directly to SD Card, USB, or SATA drive and booted without any additional steps or configuration. Both images require a minimum of 2GB and boots to a serial console.
Writing the Image
Linux Users
You can write the image to media of your choosing but it does have to meet the minimum size requirement of 2GB. Connect the media to your computer and make note of the drive. To write the image to your media run the following command, changing the drive to the location of your media.
For the SD Image:
xzcat Fedora-17-armhfp-trimslice-mmcblk0.img.xz> /dev/<location-of-your-SD-card>
For the SATA/USB Image:
xzcat Fedora-17-armhfp-trimslice-sda.img.xz > /dev/<location-of-your-SATA/USB>
Once completed run the below command to ensure the entire image is written to the device:
Windows Users
- You will need to download Win32 Image Writer as well as a tool to extract the image such as 7-Zip.
- Once downloaded and installed right click on the disk image and select "7-Zip->Extract files here"
- Launch Win 32 Disk Imager and select the extracted disk image and the device you would like to write the files to. Click "Write". Be very careful during this step - all data on the selected drive will be lost!
Mac Users
- Please note that the Default Archive Utility.app will not extract the .xz file. A third party app will have to be used to decompress it. There are multiple options for that
- There is a Free App available in the App Store called Unarchiver.
- If mac homebrew or macport is already installed, then the xz utility can be downloaded and installed using one of those.
- The xz utils .pkg for mac can be downloaded and installed directly from xz utils
- Once the xz utility is installed, open a terminal and make a note of the current drives.
ls /dev/disk?
- Connect the SD card to the mac and make a note of the drive.
- Open Disk Utility and make sure that the card and all the partitions in the card (if any) is unmounted
- In the terminal change to the directory where the .xz file is located
- If xz was installed from the .pkg or macport or homebrew then run the following command
xzcat Fedora-17-armhfp-trimslice-mmcblk0.img.xz > /dev/<location-of-the-SD-card>
- If the Unarchiver app from App Store was used then just click and decompress the .xz file and then run the following (may require sudo)
dd if=Fedora-17-armhfp-trimslice-mmcblk0.img.xz of=/dev/<location-of-the-SD-card>
- Click and eject the SD card
Using Fedora on the Trimslice
Connect the newly created media to your Trimslice and power on. No further steps are required and your system should boot to a serial console log in prompt. If you do not have a serial cable to connect your Trimslice, you can watch your DHCP server for the newly connected device. After a few minutes you should be able to see the host "fedora-arm'. Use SSH to connect to the root account.
ssh root@fedora-arm (or IP)
The default root password is "fedoraarm". This should be changed immediately.
Known Issues
- Yum requires the system time be correct for HTTPS to function. If yum updates are not working check your clock.
- The tar.xz rootfs archives do not preserve SELinux information or file capabilities. If you use these to create your own filesystem image it is recommended that you switch SELinux to use warnings instead of enforcing for first boot, then relabel and reinstall packages that rely upon filesystem capabilities such as glibc-common and ping.
- Images are designed to be written to a minimum of 2GB SD cards, SATA Disks, and SSD drives. On first boot the partition will be resized to the maximum allowable amount. On the second boot the filesystem will be resized to fill the expanded partition. This works for SD cards, SATA Disks, and SSD drives.
- Known release issues
Upgrading to the 3.7 Kernel
In order to upgrade to the 3.7 kernel is Fedora 17 you will need to first make some manual changes to your configuration.
- Change the load address for the initramfs (uInitrd) to accommodate larger kernels.
- Boot up the Trimslice and install the 3.7 kernel from updates. Do not reboot the system until you make the following changes.
yum update kernel-tegra
- Change to the boot directory and use your favorite editor to edit '/boot/armhfp-trimslice-sda-<mmc/usb>-boot.cmd.(Note you will need to choose the appropriate file depending on your boot device, mmc or usb).
setenv bootargs console=${console} root=LABEL=rootfs ro rootwait ext2load usb 0:1 4880000 uInitrd-tegra ext2load usb 0:1 4080000 uImage-tegra ext2load usb 0:1 5880000 dtbs/tegra20-trimslice.dtb bootm 4080000 4880000 5880000
- Regenerate the boot script by running the following command:
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -d armhfp-trimslice-sda-usb-boot.cmd armhfp-trimslice-sda-usb-boot.scr
- Copy the boot script to be used on the next boot:
cp armhfp-trimslice-sda-usb-boot.scr boot.scr
- A Trimslice Device Tree Binary (.dtb) available here tegra20-trimslice.dtb.
mkdir -p /boot/dtbs cd /boot/dtbs wget http://ausil.us/dtb/3.7/tegra20-trimslice.dtb
- Shutdown the system.
- Upgrade to a new version of U-Boot (U-Boot 2012.04.01-1.01). Follow the instructions on the Trimslice Wiki.
- Once completed, your system will now boot to the 3.7 kernel.

Plastic, that perfect polymerisation. Endlessly flowing, growing and changing. A material with manifold applications and usage, I am captivated with its currency as a commodity in mass consumer culture. It is the ideal material to employ as I navigate the conceptual domain of popular culture.
In these works the Pop imagery of my formative years is made abstract and amorphous. The shiny, high-gloss surface still signals desire with its origin on the shopping mall shelf, but it is as if the work has caught a virus, the previous iconic characters undone. The skin of my Pop principles has been peeled back to reveal a glistening, yet raw and swirling toxic tissue beneath, perhaps a symptom of excessive consumerism. The satisfaction of desire in the shopping mall is always temporary before it is replaced with desire for something else. This observation, for me, requires abstract representation. Dolly and Built for comfort are recognition of this epidemic.
'Like a projection into the future where one witnesses one's death, the sight of the dimensional depth just the other side of "skin-deep" can debilitate beyond comprehension' (Philip Brophy, 2003).
The deformed and bloated limbs are testimony to the swoon of social modification. This mapping is therefore as much cartography of mental space as of physical space.

My phone ran hot with crowing texts and calls after the Blues' victory over the Crusaders. I guess I deserved it as, when I was put on the spot on the radio, I had to go with the Crusaders.
Well, I do have to live in Christchurch. I did qualify it by saying I wouldn't bet the mortgage on it; wouldn't even bet a box of beer on it; but I might risk a lazy fiver because ... well, just because ...
But those who read this column last week will know that, in spite of my radio forecast, I kind of predicted this result. Not by five tries to none - don't think anyone could have picked that. But I said the 'same old, same old' just hasn't been doing it for the Crusaders and so it proved on Friday night.
You couldn't fault them for desire or urgency and we all knew they wouldn't throw caution to the winds and try an ultra-expansive game against the Blues. That would just have been playing into their hands.
In fact, the Crusaders got a bit out-Crusadered by the Blues. That defence, presumably courtesy of one Sir G. Henry, was solid as and they took the high ball, ran and passed accurately. Their set pieces were a bit shaky and Piri Weepu's goaklkicking could have let the Crusaders back in the game but they were on top in the collision phases and held their nerve, discipline and patience.
This is all about mindset. I have been criticised for commenting on aspects of Canterbury rugby - and that's part of the problem. You can't criticise what they do because what they do is right, don't you know?
You look at this Crusaders team - all of them have come into a championship side, built from the ground up by the likes of Wayne Smith after they finished dead last. They've never had to come at things from the perspective of needing to do something different; from being under pressure.
They need to change the recipe and fast ... they now play away to the Canes and the Bulls.
Yet when you say something along those lines, some in Canterbury rugby chastise you because you've had the temerity to criticise ... That's what I mean about mindset. It's not about the players' ability or desire. It's about a state of mind and approach.
The Crusaders had it when Smith built them up from scratch and in the big issues - like Robbie Deans' decision to take the captaincy from Reuben Thorne and give it to Richie McCaw. It's not siege mentality, exactly, but a focus and a clear vision to change things - not just repeating what's happened in the past.
It's also a matter of doing the basics well, of knowing how to get into good positions; knowing when you are hard on attack you have to be patient, accurate and disciplined and work the appropriate players into position to carry the ball over the line. The Blues did that on Friday.
The Crusaders seem stuck in a groove. Dave Rennie and Smith are building what the Crusaders used to have at the Chiefs. So is John Kirwan, with the Blues.
The best example came with Israel Dagg's disallowed try. I thought it was a try and that double movement stuff was bullshit. I am not saying it would have turned the game - but it could have, as the Crusaders weren't that far behind thanks to Dan Carter's and Weepu's goalkicking.
But the Crusaders dropped their bundle. The replays had hardly stopped when the Blues ran out of trouble and that dinky little kick exposed the Crusaders, ending in that clinching try to George Moala.
The Blues have something to build on - Ali Williams playing better in the last two games than at any point in the last two years; Chris Noakes being very tidy and accurate at first five; Rene Ranger playing well. Nothing flash - but they did the business.
The Crusaders didn't.

Review: Proto CT on Japanese snow
I ordered this some time back and it finally arrived yesterday:thumbsup:. Couldn't wait to try it so I took it out of the box and headed straight to the local hill (no detune or wax). I will be taking it for a proper 3 day trip to Nagano next week and the snow is looking good.
2012 157 Never Summer Proto CT with 2011 cartel bindings.
Rider: 6ft 170~175lbs.Size 11 boots. I would say my level is advanced.
I ride mostly powder and love tree runs through steeps. I also love to hit natural features getting 1s 3s and a variety of grabs. I ride across groomed runs to get to the goods and enjoy short and long carves as well as presses and butters along the way.
I ride mostly excellent conditions in Nozawa onsen Nagano about 30 days a year (will go for 50 next year).
On this occasion I took the board to a local hill which is not that great, but just wanted to try out the board.
Conditions: Was pretty icy with a little dusting of snow on top. In some windblown areas it was solid ice.
Weight: Very light.
Edge hold/carving: This board is my first NS board and I was super impressed with the edge hold. Very solid and confidence inspiring.
I was carving down steep icy runs and as long as its nice and high up on edge it carves like a champ. Short turns and long drawn out carves are very good. Not as good as a set back semi directional freeride board, but for a playful twin board I would say its excellent.
Flex/pop. The pop is superb, as many have said, this is one of the stand out features of this board. The flex is maybe a 5.5 or 6 out of 10 for me. I am used to stiffer free ride boards so it was super easy to press and twist around.
This along with the rocker, also makes turn initiation very easy.
The flex is playful, but when you get it up on edge the camber zones kick in and it feels solid and more stiff through the carve. A really good balance IMO.
Damping: I sold my 2011 ride highlife to buy this board. I enjoyed the highlife a lot, but it was very damp and since I ride mostly good conditions I wanted a little more feedback from the snow. The proto has the damping just right for me.
Its damp enough to absorb chatter that you don't want, but feels lively and gives plenty of feedback from the snow.
Conclusion: The proto is a super playful board that can also lay down a good carve when you want to. Its a really good balance. I don't really do park, I wanted an all mountain twin that can help me progress my freestyle while being good at carving and in powder. I also wanted to ride more switch.
The proto is ticking all my boxes so far.
I will check the powder performance in Nagano and add to this review next week.
Awesome, glad you finally got the board looks like it was the right pick. I was going to get the proto but went with the blacklist and could not be happier. Hope you get a good dump so you know how much it can handle.
that board looks so nice with those cartels....
I like the way the cartels match up with the board both looks and performance wise. Always a bonus because I never had this board in mind when I bought the cartels.
We look set to get a decent dump for next week and I will check the performance in the powder:D. No doubt it should be good in anything up to 30cm though.
I bet you will get a lot of nice looks over there being NS is not around much.
Looking good, this board will slay Nozawa trees very well. Enjoy
powder review
Just got back from a trip to Nozawa in Nagano. Spent 3 days on the proto in proper snow so I wanted to add to the review.
Just to give you the idea of the kind of snow here are a few pics.
Day one was 30cm of fluffy white and it stayed cold all day. Day 2 was clear blue skies and the powder from the previous day was still good in the woods, but started to firm up and get heavy towards the end of the day. Was pretty heavy icy chop on the lower part of the mountain.
Day 3 brought 40cm of fresh fluffy powder:D. It was very low visibility though.
Basically I took the proto though a wide range of conditions most of which were good quality powder.
For this board I have settled on a 23" stance centered with +15-15 duck stance.
I am used to riding semi directional boards with a setback in powder, this board just floated through with absolutely minimal effort even in 40cm.
Really happy with this because I ride a lot of powder and with a set back its quite hard to 180 and land switch or even do switch turns because you have to work pretty hard to keep the shorter nose from diving.
Being able to stay centered on the board means you can play around a lot more and ride switch for long sections which I love to do.
Now I have 4 days on the board and a range of conditions I am hugely impressed.
It carves superbly well for a twin. Short or long turns you can set the edge and with a good fore aft movement really lay into a carve.
Popping off jumps is taking some adjusting because it pops of the lip much higher than I am used to. Its really lively in a very good way.
I rode some pretty choppy conditions and it is pretty good. Yes, you will feel quite a bit of chatter but its not bad at all. The plus side of this damping comes in powder.
In the powder the float was great as I said, but you also get great feel from the snow so you can really enjoy each powder turn and each slash. The flex and the rocker also make it very easy to initiate a turn even in quite deep heavyish powder. So much fun in the powder and way more playful than a setback semi directional board.
Powder, butters, jumps, switch, carving this can do it all very very well for such an all round board.
I will be riding it for some time to come on anything other than 40cm plus.
Just wanted to add a note about speed. When absolutely blasting down a groomed run with fairly heavy powder (20cm) you can feel the softish flex and you definitely need to stay focused and with a good solid low stance.
Compared to my stiffer freeride oriented decks this does have a lower speed limit. You can still go very fast, as fast as I would need to, but you can feel its not that stable beyond a certain speed. Of course thats to be expected for this type of board and it also depends on weight. If I were on a 160 I'm sure it would be much more stable at very high speeds.
Don't get me wrong this board can go very very fast, but its not going to be quite as stable as say my old ride highlife was at speed.
Still overall I think this board has a huge range of things it does well and is very versatile and fun.
That board looks great! Happy boarding!

My top bar hive has gotten pretty crowded and this weekend the workers were kicking out drones left and right. Is that normal for this time of the year in North Carolina?
Also, the drones all just crawled around on the ground and eventually died. They appeared to be healthy but none of them could fly. Is it possible that they were just old? If there was some kind of disease or mites I wouldn't think it would be limited to just drones.
Thanks for your input.
