After World War II, American soldiers returned home to settle down and raise families in communities across the nation. For many, the transition from military to civilian life was a welcome, if difficult, adjustment. In addition to taking advantage of the GI bill to attend college, people focused on their home and social lives. Television was still a novelty. Entertainment and amusements were largely homegrown activities.
One of the more popular parlor games at the time was 20 Questions. The goal of the game is to identify an object by asking 20 or fewer questions. One person secretly chooses an object. The others take turns asking "yes" or "no" questions. The key to winning is to ask good questions.
The same is true for you. Of course, when board members ask questions it is not a game, but rather a serious effort to provide oversight of district programs while safeguarding assets. Thoughtful questioning will yield the information necessary to determine whether your district is meeting its educational and financial goals.
Unlike the game of 20 Questions, though, your inquiries will require significantly more than "yes" or "no" answers. For example, some answers will determine the district's commitment to ensuring ethical behavior, and therefore will include a discussion about codes of conduct. Other questions will focus on evaluating business practices and internal controls. You will be reviewing financial reports as well as payroll and human resources functions. Preparing effective questions will assist your board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities.

: Getting Started
Automate with confidence. Follow these simple steps and use our tools to help you start an automatic 401(k) plan at your company.
Determine the goals of your company's 401(k) plan
Evaluate the elements of an automatic 401(k)
Consider a default contribution rate
Select a default investment fund
First, consider the goals of your plan. Do you want to increase participation, raise contribution rates, or get employees to recognize the value of your plan? Do you want to improve nondiscrimination testing results, or do away with testing altogether? Would it be easier if you allowed higher-paid employees to contribute more? Most importantly, do you want to help your employees save enough to secure a comfortable retirement? If so, adding automatic features to your 401(k) plan makes sense.
Next, evaluate the elements of an automatic 401(k). Automatic enrollment is the key element of this stage. You'll need to decide whether or not to enroll all employees, or just new hires. Experience shows that greater participation gains and positive responses from employees are more likely when both groups are included.
Then, you'll need to consider a default contribution rate. Many companies have used 3 percent as their default contribution rate but research shows that many employees would consider saving at a higher rate. A common practice is to set your deferral rate to align with employer matching contributions, if offered.
Once you've established a default contribution rate, you'll need to consider whether to increase this amount each year an employee stays with the company. This is referred to as automatic escalation and can be an important tool to help employees save enough for a secure retirement. You can automatically increase the deferral rate each year at any time you desire, such as at the end of the calendar or fiscal year.
Finally, you must select a default investment fund. Many participants remain in a default investment rather than make their own selection. Therefore, a common approach is to choose default investments, such as lifecycle or balanced funds, designed to outpace inflation over the long-term and optimize the relationship between risk and return. The Department of Labor has expressed the view that a default selection that is too conservative over the long-term, such as a money market fund, could keep employees from earning enough return on their investment to provide the retirement income they desire.

Budding scientists and engineers spend summer vacation in the lab
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Binghamton University will offer its third annual summer science program designed to excite students about science, math and engineering.
The Go Green Institute will bring together about 50 of the Southern Tier's brightest seventh-graders for an intensive 10-day, hands-on learning experience centered on the theme of a greener living environment.
Go Green will take place this year from July 12-23.
The University's Center of Excellence in Small Scale Systems Integration and Packaging (S3IP) co-sponsored the program with Broome-Tioga Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) and a grant from the STNY-13 Work Force New York Program.
Through Go Green, students will explore issues of science, math and engineering as they relate to creating a sustainable living environment. They will experiment in the lab and take field trips to the University Nature Preserve, working with Binghamton University faculty members and graduate students as well as teachers from local school districts and companies such as BAE Systems.
Go Green, led by Wayne Jones, professor of chemistry, involves a dedicated group of graduate students, middle school science teachers, and faculty working closely with the students.
"Middle school is often a time when students turn away from science because it's not perceived as 'cool' enough," Jones said. "We want to capture these talented students' interest early and give them an opportunity to see scientists and engineers as real people who engage in exciting projects and solve problems in everyday life."
The institute will culminate in a poster session and celebration on Friday, July 23 in the LH complex on the Binghamton University Campus. At this event students will show what they've learned through interactive displays of their solutions to self-selected environmental issues.

McNeese State's Ernest Celestie. (American Press Archives)
Last Modified: Friday, November 22, 2013 1:34 PM
By Alex Hickey / American Press
McNeese State senior receiver Ernest Celestie's health has been a touch-and-go matter all season, though last week marked the first time it forced him to miss a significant amount of game time. He did not play after the first quarter against Northwestern State.
Celestie has played the whole year on a fractured foot, but has been able to make it on the field after missing most of the week's practices.
But even when he plays, he doesn't necessarily play all that much. Cowboys head coach Matt Viator said Celestie averages between 20-25 snaps a game, which one wouldn't necessarily infer from a player who is second on the team in receiving yards and touchdowns.
That means a lot of snaps in the slot for backup David Bush, who flew under the radar until he grabbed three catches for 39 yards and a touchdown on McNeese's 2-minute drive to close the first half.
With Celestie questionable for the regular-season finale at Lamar, Bush will be called on again this week. The transfer from Texas Christian is ready.
"I love playing in this role," Bush said. "Ernest and Tiger (Diontae Spencer) have been like big brothers to me as I've learned the offense."
• OTHER INJURIES: Backup quarterback Tyler Bolfing missed the first two practices of the week but was back in uniform Thursday. He is expected to play, Viator said.
Viator said Will Briscoe would have taken Bolfing's place on the first drive of the second quarter if the sophomore was unable to go.
Buck safety Aaron Sam has practiced all week after being helped off the field late in the second half against Northwestern State.
• ODD COINCIDENCE: Running back Kelvin Bennett's top performances have come against teams that primarily run odd-man defensive fronts.
Bennett had 115 yards against Northwestern State last week,169 against Nicholls State and 122 against Weber State.
Is Bennett's quickness better suited to hit holes against the wider gaps created with three down linemen?
"I think it's a coincidence more than anything else," Viator said. "He certainly looked good the other night. I think when he's in there he gives us something extra to go along with Marcus (Wiltz) and Dylan (Long). He gives us a chance to hit the big home-run plays."
Lamar runs sets with both three and four down linemen.
Bennett hit the longest "home run" in McNeese history against the Cardinals last year with a 93-yard touchdown run.
• DORN FAN: One player who caught the eye of Lamar head coach Ray Woodard while breaking down tape of the Cowboys was defensive tackle Kevin Dorn.
It's easy to see why Dorn would stick out — last week he tracked down a running back 19 yards downfield to make a tackle.
"Having played that position, that's where I gravitate," Woodard said. "He has a tremendous motor. He can stop the run. He gets after the passer. He gets stronger as game goes on. He's the kind of guy I'd like to have on my team."
Dorn is the leading tackler among McNeese defensive linemen with 45.
• RECORDS WATCH: Cody Stroud is two touchdown passes shy of Kerry Joseph's single-season school mark of 27 set in 1995, and 20 completions behind Derrick Fourroux's career mark of 618. … The Cowboys are 11 points away from the record of 478 set in 2002. … Diontae Spencer needs eight catches to become the ninth Cowboys receiver with 100 career receptions. Jermaine Martin is the all-time leader with 160.

Eating My Words......For Now
What he's done with all of these injuries so far this year is nothing short of amazing. Right now, I think he's the runaway winner of the Jack Adams award and it's really not even close. Now, if we go into April healthy and still don't make it out of the first round of the playoffs, then some things may have to be discussed again.
I don't particularly like the way Trotz's gameplan and style is used some of the time, but hey he's obviously doing something right. I think he's getting the best out of the players he has. A lot of that has to do with Suter and Weber stepping up like they have the past few weeks.
So, for now, I will eat my words willingly and submit my full support for Barry Trotz and give him credit where credit is due. Now, don't even get me started about Jeff Fisher.

so how's the crow taste these days? lolReplyDelete
kidding aside i am glad that you decided to post this,and thank you for it. That bandwagon got really scary earlier this season. Maybe this post could help others to decided to take a step back from their emotions and observe logically instead.
Like you I have also decided before that a 1 round loss would be unacceptable this season barring horrible circumstances. if that happens i'll see you again in april
Appreciate it buddyReplyDelete
Trotz is a great regular season coach...but he refuses to change his team's style of play for the postseason. Assuming this trend continues, and assuming we make it in, we will be One and Done again. Although, I still blame Erat for last year.ReplyDelete

Skillet Slams Into 2010 With #4 Mainstream Radio Hit, Shinedown Tour, More WWE And Massive Sales
Skillet has slammed into 2010 following an incredibly successful 2009.
Already over 300k in scans in just 20 weeks (more than double that of the gold-selling Comatose), Awake was a critic and fan fave last year, Amazon.com's best selling Christian CD of 2009, and now boasts the No. 4 mainstream Active Rock single in the country with "Monster," which was also AOL Music's No. 4 mainstream rock song of last year.
"Monster" has proven to be just that for Skillet, with fans purchasing so many digital copies over the holiday, their sales increased almost 300%. In addition to all the success "Monster" is having, their No. 1 Christian rock and CHR track, "Hero," has been creating a great buzz as well.
"Hero" will be used in the upcoming trailers and promos for the new 20th Century Fox film, "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief," which stars Pierce Brosnan and Uma Thurman and is based on the best-selling book by Rick Riordan. "Hero" has also been used all season long by the NFL in their Sunday Night Football and NFL Weekend Kickoff promos.
The WWE will use the song once again as the official theme song for WWE's Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View on January 31st. "Hero" was also a featured as part of the soundtrack to the WWE's Tribute To The Troops TV Special, which aired just before Christmas on NBC. Skillet was promoted alongside other contributing artists including Bob Dylan, Bon Jovi, and Nickelback. WWE programming reaches nearly 16 million people per week in the U.S., and WWE.com currently averages 14 million unique visitors worldwide monthly, providing more than 28 million video streams.
In follow up to their fall AWAKE & ALIVE tour, which, due to numerous sell out shows made Pollstar's Concert Pulse's Top 50 tours for the fall, Skillet will hit the road with mainstream rockers Shinedown and Puddle of Mudd for the Sound of Madness 2010 tour beginning January 21st in Providence, RI.
In March and April Skillet will co-headline the AWAKE TONIGHT tour with TobyMac for one of the most anticipated tours of the spring for the Christian concert arena. Tour dates will be announced soon.

UPDATE: Missing dog found after accident in Washington County, Virginia
ABINGDON, Va. - UPDATE: We're told the missing dog was turned in to the Washington County, Virginia animal shelter. Lexi will be sent to her new home on Tuesday.
An accident Saturday morning on Interstate 81 damaged a transport vehicle carrying 70 rescue dogs. Now those dogs are staying in Abingdon, Va. until the vehicle can be fixed.
A woman is working to help care for these dogs until they can continue their journey from Arkansas to their new homes in the Northeast.
Big dogs, small dogs, she takes care of them all, said Anita Campbell, an independent rescuer in Bristol, Va. and Bristol Tn.
"It gets to be a little much," she told us. "A lot of newspaper, a lot of paper towels, a lot of Lysol but it's all for them so it's not bad."
Campbell picked up the dogs from the C.C. Porter Animal Shelter in Abingdon, Va. where they were taken right after the accident.
"I was thinking, what am I doing? This is crazy!," Campbell said.
The Washington County Sheriff's Department told us they worked with first responders and volunteers to get the dogs to the shelter.
"We got them here in a couple of trips," said Sgt. Jason Alexander, Animal Control Division. "It didn't take too long. We didn't want to stress the animals out and of course wanted to get them moved away from the highway as quickly as possible."
The Washington County Sheriff's Department worked with the Meadowview Fire Department, Virginia State Police and volunteers to get the animals to safety after the accident, Alexander said.
"It wasn't too difficult," he said. "We had a lot of help. I think everybody on the scene must've been an animal lover and so everybody was really careful with the animals."
Campbell moved the dogs from the shelter to a local gym so they'd be inside until the transport vehicle can be repaired or another can get there
The Got Orphans transportation company told us it could be a few days before the vehicle is fixed.
The windshield was destroyed in the accident and is being replaced, they said.
70 of the 71 dogs on the transportation vehicle are in Campbell's facility, she said.
One is still missing.
It was picked up by a man shortly after the crash, Campbell said.
"The family does know the dog is missing and they are heart broken," she said. "They were so excited. The little girl knows and she is heart broken."
Campbell told us the dog was going to a seven-year-old girl.
The man picked up the dog near the Washington County Solid Waste facility after it's crate broke in the accident, she said.
"I think the gentleman just saw it and thought it would be a great little gift for his granddaughter," Campbell said. "We don't think there was any maliciousness."
The missing dog's name is Lexi, Campbell told us.
There is a $1,000 reward for anyone who can find Lexi.
Campbell is asking anyone with information on Lexi's whereabouts to contact her directly at (423)-534-2442.
The Got Orphans transportation company has been transporting animals for seven years, they told us, and this is the first time they've lost a dog.

This is by far the mest multivitamin supplement i have tried. The only concern i had is of the very high vitamin B12 levels. I would prefer it to bit a tad lover. about 5000% of the daily value, istead of 8350%. Or something like that. But other than that, if you look up all the ingredients on google, and research.. Man it got all you need, and then some! I feel great after taking 3 tablets. My mood goes up, my energy goes up. And i bet my recovery in training also goes up, same with libido. Greetings from Norway.. We love Iherb!! Please get more of theese, they havent been in stock for aages. I know many friends that want to buy it aswell.

These vitamins don't give me the awful nauseous, painful feeling I would get with my old drugstore brand vitamins if I took them on an empty or near empty stomach. This makes remembering to take my vitamins so much easier! They do make my pee a kind of neon color, which is a little weird. I don't know if my body is absorbing all the nutrients or what quality they are, but I would recommend them if only because they don't give me stomach aches!

I must have tried about a dozen different multi-vitamins brands – but I always come back to this one, because it's beautifully balanced and it works. Throw in some vitamin K2 from one of the Life Extension formulas... some extra Vitamin D3... some extra vitamin C with Bioflavonoids... some extra CoQ10... some Now Kelp Powder for Iodine and trace minerals(and Kelp also has beautiful detoxification properties)... some Pure Essence Super D-K Calcium Plus – for Calcium & Magnesium... a high-quality bottle of liquid Norwegian Cod Liver Oil – by Twinlab, Carlson or Nature's Answer... some high-quality Evening Primrose Oil – by Carlson, Source Naturals or Barlean's... and you've got the beginnings of a beautiful foundation. Update: Source Naturals has developed a new multivitamin formula called "Source Naturals, Life Force, Healthy Aging" - which is now the better formula, with superior anti-oxidant capacity, with 3X more Lutein, 4X more Astaxanthin, 66% more Lycopene, and now with added Zeaxanthin... not to mention more N-Acetyl Cysteine, added N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine, more Resveratrol, added L-Carnosine, 2.2 X more alpha-Lipoic Acid & R-Lipoic Acid, added Glucosamine, more Silymarins for detoxification, 20% more Choline for methylation, 66% more MSM, 150% more Coenzyme Q10, 33% more DMAE, added Vinpocetine and 100% more Ginkgo for enhanced cognitive function, and a host of other tweaks.

text: So, I was told that I was going to be getting a McGaughy's Brand 3/5 drop when i got it done. Originally the owner of the shop that did it told me that it would take a 2" spindle and a 1" spring in the front to get the 3" and a flip kit w/hanger in the back. But when i got my truck back it didnt look as low as it should in the front and upon further inspection i noticed that my spring hadn't been changed at all and there were no clean spots where there should have been from them touching them and road grime coming off. The guy that did the actual install told me that they did a 3" drop spindle.. but i find it shady that they told me one thing and i got a different... Also, is there a need to change the shocks front/back. The ride isnt terrible.. its obviously rough as hell in the back, but the front feels exactly the same. Thanks, BJ


text: Two weeks ago, the Washington Post declared the recall elections of two powerful state senators in Colorado a national "referendum on guns." Indeed, the defeat of state senate president John Morse and fellow state senator Angela Giron will cause some Democrats to rethink their push on gun control.But of course, many Democrats have reacted by shrugging off the results. Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz has dismissed the losses as the result of "voter suppression, pure and simple" (orchestrated by the National Rifle Association and the Koch brothers, of course). Mark Glaze, executive director of Michael Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns, predicted that the victory by gun owners would be short lived at best and that gun control legislators would take comfort in knowing that his group "will have their back."In reality, it is hard not to appreciate what was accomplished. The difficulties facing the recall were overwhelming:

There is talk of civil war in the mountains of Khost, the fields of the Helmand River Valley, and on the streets of Kabul. With 2014 looming, Afghans, journalists, diplomats, and military officers alike are wondering what the future holds for this troubled country straddling the Hindu Kush.

55 gallon freshwater aquascape
I purchased a 55 gallon fish tank, 60 pounds of Seachem Flourite (50% Black and 50% Red), and 2 pieces of Mopani driftwood. As far as equipment goes, I am just about set. I have a Fluval 305 filter set up under the stand with the default filter media (bio-tubes and activated carbon). I bought an Aquatic Life T5 HO light fixture with 1 6000K spectrum light and 1 650nm spectrum light (almost 2W/G). I have a 300W Jager heater coming in this Friday (2/17) along with an Aqueon aquarium water changer. I also should have a 10lb CO2 system being delivered in the next two weeks or so.
I soaked the Flourite in 10 gallon tubs using a hose to remove the extra dust. Once the water in the tubs appeared clear, I spread out the gravel on a tarp and let it dry for the entire day.
The mopani driftwood is already dense enough that I don't have to water-log it however I was still concerned about excessive tannin leaching. I left the wood in a 10 gallon tub for 2 weeks, changing the water twice a day as time allowed. I also got a big turkey fryer and boiled water with the wood in it for 2 hours.
When it comes to the plants that I am putting in to the tank, I am a little uncertain as I've never kept any before. I'm trying to emulate a Dutch-style aquascape. My tap water's pH currently sits at 7.0 but I know that will change once it is added to the tank with the wood and CO2. Here is the rough flora plan that I put together:
Rotala nanjenshan
Anubias congensis
Hygrophila corumbosa
Anuvias nana
Ludwigia repens
Bacopa monnieri
Lobelia cardinalis
Sagittaria subulata
Hemianthus callitrichoides
Imgur album with a (grainy) picture of the aquarium hardscape, the Flourite drying on a tarp, and my aquascaping plan (layout):
How does the layout look? Are there any suggestions about my plant placement or grouping? As you can see from the picture, the gravel is higher in the back than it is in the front. I think this helps to give an illusion of depth. I really like the difference in leaf shapes between the two Anubias plants and the Lobelia cardinalis. From an aesthetic point of view, the Sag and the Anubias nana could be switched although I think that the Anubias would flourish better than the Sag if the Hygrophila begins to provide more shade.
Regarding fauna, I anticipate having 2 Otos and either a shoal of 10 Tiger barbs or a group of 10 Harlequin Rasbora and 10 Bleeding Heart tetra.
Great news! Both the plants and CO2 will be arriving on Friday! The heater arrived today and the Aqueon water changer comes in tomorrow.
Hopefully I can get some better quality photos for you all.
looks like it will be a promising build. I am about to get my co2 up and running myself. Good luck with the build
Thanks! I'm looking forward to developing my green thumb.
Good luck to your build as well.
Sorry for the delay -- the weekend started to take over! :)
Let me start by giving kudos to the store that shipped my plants. I didn't (but wish now that I had) take any pictures of how the plants arrived but I was very impressed. The stemmed plants and potted plants were bundled together. Each bundle had wet newspaper surrounding the plants, inside a clear plastic bag (NOT the kind that you get at a grocery store or superstore). Both bundles were then wrapped together with packing paper.
For the most part, the plants looked great! Some of the java fern leaves have holes or black spots in them. I hope they go away once the plant starts growing.
I spent quite a bit of time trying to get the Ludwigia renens planted (and stay planted) in my substrate. The flow from my Fluval 305 appears to knock some of the plants out of the substrate. Now going on the second full day of operation, I haven't had to spend as much time re-planting plants that started floating.
I have three Anubias barteri var. 'Nan' in the tank. One can be seen tucked between the Mopani wood and the java fern in the first picture. The other two I have attached to the wood using dental floss.
The CO2 system was delivered on Friday, the same day as the plants, but I only had time to put the plants in the tank. All of the CO2 system components were excellently packed and shipped. I got the 10lb CO2 tank filled up at a homebrew store for $30. For the drop-checker fluid, I went to Walgreens and picked up a 10oz bottle of mineral oil (intestinal lubricant).
I currently have the CO2 at about 2 bps, 30 psi and operating while the lights are on. The CO2 system came with a pH controller but I am going to wait until the plants have "taken off" and I have fish in the tank before I set that up. The diffuser is Green Leaf Aquariums' Atomic CO2 Diffuser which boasts a 100% dissolution rate. It is currently sitting behind the ludwigia and spitting out tiny bubbles.
I want to close with a full tank shot from yesterday afternoon.

text: Many lives have changed greatly since that fateful day. We watched the September 11 special on the History Channel last night, "102 minutes that changed America." It was moving, to say the least. The special featured video from several citizen-journalist vantage points. One came from a NYU student with a straight-on view about a mile away. Another one was just blocks away, and "accidentally" filmed the second plane crashing into the South Tower (2 WTC). A third camera came from a family several blocks from ground zero. They were told to evacuate as the dust cloud spread down the street. When they made it to the lobby, they only saw the black cloud outside and firemen, covered in soot, entering their lobby to take cover. These tragic events live in infamy. We admire the work of the many heroes that day and sympathize with those that lost so much. Dairies are affected, too Obvious impacts from 9.11 include searches, seizures, and delays in all forms of major transportation. For those of us who regularly fly on commercial airlines, the necessary security requires more time, patience, and, thus, taxpayer money. Back on the farm, it may seem like little has changed. We are probably all more vigilant, especially over the last week. But, we have no additional security as the hay enters the rack, the milk enters the tank, or the high-cows find a way to open the gate and enter the low-cow group. But, for those dairies along the border, some things have changed. In northern Washington, Larry DeHaan's neighbors a few hundred yards away are now across a checkpoint. A Seattle newspaper told Larry's story on Saturday. One of his neighbors even spent two months in jail for shining a large flashlight at a helicopter. On the other side of the country, in northern Vermont, Rainville Farm fought to keep its acreage as the Department of Homeland Security (formed in November 2002) tried to improve its border presence. Their main argument is that, while the border office should remain open, it doesn't need to be so elaborate for 2.5 cars per hour. The farm would lose acreage, which would mean less cows are supported, which would threaten the viability of the farm. You can read more about this string of events reported by an independent Vermont newspaper and Boston news station. As far as we know, the farm remains intact, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection is still evaluating the situation. Consumers see September 11 through milk At least two consumers were impacted by the simple September 11 stamp on milk cartons. One blogger's father was so disturbed by the September 11 stamp that he walked away without buying one http://trumbull.patch.com/articles/911-and-milk. Another was moved by it http://www.parenting.com/blogs/pop-culture/shawn-parenting/how-9-11-ended-my-refrigerator. Biosecurity on your farm Have you changed biosecurity practices on your farm? Is there anything you do differently than you did pre-September 11? If you'd like some information on biosecurity techniques that can be specified for your farm, tell your veterinarian or extension professional to access the Center for Food Security and Public Health's Infection Control site. There are links for producers, but you can work with your vet or extension agent for a more specified plan.

Pages from the past for July 4, 2013
75 years ago, July 7, 1938
From the Pine River Journal
An excited tourist from Cedar Falls, IA., Frank Hammer, rushed to Deputy Sheriff Townsend about 11:30 Wednesday morning to report the theft of his car, which had been parked in front of the Pine River State Bank. Mr. Hammer had removed the ignition and had them safely in his pocket so it was concluded that the thieves were old hands at the game.
FLASH! Through the sleuthing efforts and eagle eyes of Vane Jones of Pine River, the stolen car was recovered only a few hours after it disappeared and the owner is again happy. The car was found parked in front of the lumber yard.
50 years ago, July 5, 1963
From the Pine River Journal
The new Marlow Drive-In will open this weekend Friday, July 5th, one mile south of Pine River on Hwy 371, as announced by John Rohr. The first movie to be shown is "Girls, Girls, Girls", starring Elvis Presley.
The Pine River Village Council, which for the past year has been working with the State Highway Department in an effort to secure a suitable for a highway maintenance headquarters in Pine River, received word from the department stating that they have, for the time being at least, given up their plans for the proposed Pine River project.
25 years ago, July 7, 1988
From the Pine River Journal
Two doubles tenis courts are slated to be constructed at the Backus School in late July. The courts will be located at the east side of the property on land being purchased form Betty Zaffke.
Under current law, roadside ditches can be mowed after July 31. Because of the extreme drought conditions, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) anticipates that many of these roadside ditches will be mowed for hay and has, therefore, placed a moratorium on further spraying of all roadside ditches.

Anti-Piracy "Mafia" in Finland Raid House, Confiscate Winnie the Pooh Laptop
Jason Mick
November 23, 2012 9:16 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: South Park Studios)
The piracy police made one 9-year-old a very unhappy camper
Word to the kids: don't pirate files or your folks may have their houses raided and your toys seized.
A 9-year-old Finnish girl,
according to
, happened to be very into a particular local pop star named Chisu. So innocently, the 9-year-old went onto Google Inc. (GOOG) ubiquitous search engine. Lo-and-behold, the first result to pop up was
The Pirate Bay
, the world's biggest torrent and magnet-link site, which also happens to have been
launched in neighboring Sweden
The girl tried to install a program to read the torrent files she downloaded, but the downloads all mysteriously failed. Upset, she complained to her father, who took her to the store to purchase the Chisu album -- legally.
But it turns out that the downloads didn't fail. Instead they were malicious trackers, which flagged her home internet protocol (IP) address as an infringer. Working with her ISP, the local
Copyright Information AND Anti-Piracy Centre
(a sister organization to the
Recording Industry Association of America
) sent her father a suspicious letter, demanding a payment of 600€ and to sign a legally binding letter promising not to tell anyone about the payment or the threat.
[Chisu on YouTube]
Her father, confused, did not respond.
That's when local police raided the house in order to "assist" in the investigation. The father in the case recalls thinking that he'd wound up on the bad side of Mafioso or something, commenting, "I got the feeling that there had been people from the Mafia demanding money at the door. We have not done anything wrong with my daughter. If adults do not always know how to use a computer and the web, how can you assume that children or the elderly – or a 9-year-old girl – knows what they are doing at any given time online? This is the pinnacle of absurdity. I can see artists are in a position, but this requires education and information, not resource-consuming lawsuits."
The little pirate paid dearly for her "crime against humanity"; the armed police raiding her house seized her Winnie the Pooh laptop as "evidence" to be used in the case against her father.
There is a silver lining: Chisu, whose music the nine-year-old so-loved that she put her father in legal jeopardy, reached out to the family after hearing the story. She points them to her Spotify, where people can listen to her music for free, commenting, "I hope that the matter will be resolved soon and sorry to my 9-year-old girls."
Finnish police seized a certain little pirate's Winnie the Pooh laptop.
[Image Source: IBTimes]
Joonas Mäkinen of Finland's Pirate Party was outraged at the story. He praises Chisu's response, but complains the big media industry is holding artists hotage, leaving them with few real options to help abused fans. He comments:
It is sad to see how even the big artists have no idea what CIAPC / TTVK is doing in their name. And the worst part is that even after learning about this, like Chisu did just now and took part in the discussion on Facebook, they can't stop it since all copyright protection and monitoring is centralized.
I hope all musicians realize that the fan hunt that involves confiscating laptops and signing deals that require you to be silent about the payments are severely hurting the image of copyright and creators. Authors of works should actively rise up to say NO to what CIAPC/TTVK is doing if they wish to keep their fans.
The Pirate Party has
gained its first seats
in the European Union's Parliament, following public outrage at the Orwellian anti-piracy tactics that have been sweeping the continent.
The CIAPC confirmed, according to
, that the girl was among the pirates targeted by its anti-piracy sting operations.
"Google fired a shot heard 'round the world, and now a second American company has answered the call to defend the rights of the Chinese people." -- Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.)

The same evening that the Newtown, Connecticut shootings took place, killing 20 children and 6 adults, my older son had friends over to decorate our Christmas tree. He put on a playlist of Christmas music he'd created to set the mood in the living room, and when Josh Groban's "Believe" started to soar over our speakers, I burst into choking tears in the kitchen. When he was six, the age of most of the victims, my son would go starry-eyed whenever he heard that song. Remembering six, imagining losing one of my children… I didn't know any of the affected families in Newtown personally, but I still cried.
I followed the Newtown story in the news over the next week and was mostly able to read the developments with a clinical eye, though sometimes a detail would slice through me: the fact that the school's psychologist was killed as she ran toward Adam Lanza, ostensibly to reason with him, ripped at me, as did the story of the retired psychologist who found six children from Victoria Soto's classroom at the bottom of his driveway after the shooting. Blindsided, I would suddenly find myself crying over my keyboard.
Too, I was horrified, just days after I had written about my older son's diagnosis for GeekMom, to see Adam Lanza referred to in the media as a young man with Asperger's Syndrome — as if mass-murder were a logical outcome of a developmental disorder. As we talked about the Newtown tragedy at home, I refrained from sharing this one detail with my older son. He, in turn, did not tell me that he'd lost his temper with a classmate in science class and had been sent to the Dean's office that first day back at school. That would not come out until we received a letter from his school three days later.

Damn that looks good Mole.
Here is what I've been working on this past winter with a lot of imput with several members over at weaponsguild. An ar15 based off of a 357 maximum rimless loaded to 223 pressures. I started with a home made chamber reamer (because standard 357max reamers won't work) and a 357 test barrel and once I got the bugs worked out I sectioned the test barrel and bought a Green Mountain blank to turn down. I haven't run it over a chronograph yet, but I was able to go above what Quickload shows for a 158gr bullet @ 2250fps without any signs of high pressure. I'm currently working up loads for 180gr bullets. Here's a few pics.

Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
Thanks 2nd! It was a fun build. Hopefully I'll get a chance to try it out on a deer this year. I also plan on turning the left over barrel blank into a pistol upper chambered for it as well once I finish a 80% lower so I have a pistol lower. I still should be able to get near 2000fps with 158gr bullets and a 9.5" barrel.
I was looking around for info on this build 6-8 months ago before i went 300 black out. Is there a reference web site on ar 357's??
I found info on 357 maximum loaded to 223 pressures in strong actions with longer barrels which gave me hope of a real deer thumper which I think I've obtained. I haven't started playing around with powders and have been using 2400 and should be able to increase the velocity a bit switching to 296 or H110. I'm still working on 180gr loads, but the Hornady 180gr SP SSP Interlock looks to be very good. I was able to get blunt 158gr SJHP bullets to feed well and also 200gr rn bullets, but the pointy 180gr hornadys feed smoother. The 357 Maximum is a hot round, but the pressure is limited because not all of the firearms chambered for it (like revolvers) are strong enough to handle the increased pressure. The AR15 is meant for higher chamber pressures and since it has a larger bore diameter the pressure drops off faster than a 223. Modifying 223 cases was an issue at first, but I've figured out how to bump the cases up to straight wall with acceptable case losses which is bound to happen with that dramatic of a change in diameter.
158gr @ 2200 fps?
you know that would have some super-duper smack down!
those 180s should have some wicked penetration--
damn it moleman-- you just keep churning out new stuff for me to build! LOL!
j427x, this is basically a hot 357 max even though the cases are formed from a 223 case the case capacity is within 1/10th of a grain of water between a modified remington 223 case and a remington 357 max case which is less than some cases will vary between brands. 357 max dies and reloading data can be used, and you can work up loads hotter than what the max stops at in the reloading books although some tc data is close. Look through the reloading data and velocities on this site and the links to load work-ups if you have time 357 Remington Maximum Loading Data
Check out the velocitys listed, but keep in mind it is with a 24" barrel. I don't know how much of an advantage the extra length gives him since the majority of the velocity is acheived in the first 10" at which point the velocity arc isn't as great. Here's a quickload graph Zebdeming made for my test barrel which was 17". I ran out of 158 gr bullets and moved on to .358" 180gr bullets which I started getting signs of increased pressure at 20.5gr- 21.0gr, so I backed down to 20.0gr in the test barrel which was a generic 9mm/38 bore diameter. My new barrel is a .358" blank with a 1-14" twist since I plan on mostly shooting bullets 158gr and heavier.
wow--2400ft-lbs from a 180gr@ 2,400!
looks to be an impressive 200-300m round-- if you want to shoot big game with an AR this could be the ticket.
i had thought about going with a 35 rem bullets for such a project once. i keep getting side tracked.
right now i am building another 1911--LOL i got to check to see in the 223 brass will fit--!-LOL!
Interesting huh? I don't plan on ever putting a 24" barrel on an ar, but even taking a couple hundred fps off for a shorter barrel is still nothing to sneeze at. The pressure graph above is for Alliant 2400 which is a good powder, but isn't the best choice for this round if you're wanting more velocity. I picked up some 158gr XTP so I will try them out as well.
INTERESTING looks like you put a lot of work into developing it. it should do well on deer.
a littel off topic but I have turned a barrel tuned for a 358 win AK47. wanted the same thing heavier bullet with good speed. if I was confined to a ar length magwell id be really interested in you round. I have a 223 ak that the barrel is not the best and that would be a cool barrel swap only round for it. HMMMMMMM
your round would likely be good loaded subsonic as well. the round is kind of like the 9mmx39 just a little smaller.

New pot dispensary law prompts C.O. debate
Growers can charge for the drug -- state will tax for schools
BEND, Ore. - New legislation is changing the way Oregon views and deals with medical marijuana, allowing growers and dispensaries to charge for the drug -- and the state to collect taxes. But other impacts have some concerned.
Just eight months after voters defeated a bill legalizing pot, lawmakers last week passed a bill that no longer regards marijuana as a controlled substance. Instead, it's now treated more like alcohol.
The bill passed by the Legislature regulates marijuana dispensaries. While many details remain to be worked out, the new system will allow growers to be reimbursed for pot by dispensaries, which will then charge patients.
Supporters of the new law say the market will set the appropriate prices for growers' labor and other costs. But critics fear it will lead to widespread abuse of the medical-marijuana system.
"My concern about this is that it's yet one more step in our community putting more marijuana out there," Barb Stoefen, president of the Meth Action Coalition, said Monday.
Advocates say the system will work by legitimizing state medical marijuana dispensaries currently operating in a legal gray area.
Central Oregon dispensaries say it won't change what they've been doing, other than to allow growers to recoup their costs.
Another bill, which died in committee when lawmakers adjourned, would have taxed the legally sold marijuana at $35 per ounce, with a sizable portion of the revenues going to the state Common School Fund.
Though taxation is off the table there are still many unanswered details about implementation of the new law.
But advocates say the law that passed was a needed step forward.
"I think it's a great thing, because hopefully people can come and get clean medicine, instead of getting it off the street," said Sunday Tomlinson of Bend's Best Bud.
Still, opponents believe it's children that are hurt when marijuana is legitimized.
Stoefen says greater availability means more young people will use it.
She says kids don't see pot as a bad thing - which contributes to the increased use among young people.
Supporters say the law won't change the way kids view marijuana and likely won't change anyone's perception of the drug.
Sunday Tomlinson says she's just here to help people.
"We help people in wheelchairs," she said. "We help the guy who's legs got crushed from a fallen tree and he can't walk any more."
Stoefan says her concern is children. She says she doesn't want to demonize marijuana and recognizes it may have its place medicinally for some people.

In 2010, music has been over-run by pop synth-vibes and autotuned vocals. While this is the trend today, there are still music fans who appreciate raw, sultry vocals, true instrumentation and innate spirituality in their music. In keeping with his mission to share real soul music, Urban Mystic is ready to touch the masses with Love Intervention, his fourth official album on SoBe Entertainment. Urban Mystic's powerful new ballad "In The Morning" features MDMA, also known as the multi-talented writer/producer Pooh Bear.
Urban Mystic and Pooh Bear have teamed successfully in the past, and have several tracks together on the upcoming Love Interventionalbum. "In The Morning" is indicative of the style 25-year-old Urban Mystic plans to bring to fans this time around – more stellar slow jams with life-inspired lyrics. As the track hits radio officially in February, the SoBe team is setting up for the Love Intervention release in Spring 2010.
As a Fort Lauderdale-born Minister's son, Urban Mystic, or Urb as his friends call him, takes a progressive approach to creating music that is well-received across genres and generations. He galvanizes R&B, Hip Hop and Classic Soul beautifully and effortlessly, without losing his gospel roots.
Urban Mystic hit the national scene in 2004 with his KayGee-produced hit single "Where Were You?" which quickly resonated at urban radio. The video for the song enjoyed rotation at BET, MTV Jams, and hundreds of video outlets. The popularity of "Where Were You" from his debut album Ghetto Revelations established Urban Mystic as a vocalist to be reckoned with.
His selection as the 2004 Miami Music Award's "Best New Artist" was early proof of Urban Mystic's bright future. He followed with the 2005 single "It's You" featuring Paul Wall, and released Ghetto Revelations II in 2006, garnering even more attention for his stellar vocals.
The third installment of the Ghetto Revelations saga, GRIII: Old School 2 Nu Skool, released in April 2009, offered longtime fans tunes like "Obama: A Change Has Come," "Can't Stop, Won't Stop," "Spread Your Wings," "2 Good 2 B True" and "Best Part of the Day." He also brought in new fans with radio-friendly tracks like "Main Squeeze" with Yung Joc and "I'm So Fly" featuring Reggae giants Ce'Cile and Beenie Man.
With Love Intervention, Urban Mystic is taking the stance "if it ain't broke don't fix it." And this time around, Urb is taking on more of the producing and writing. "The industry and everybody will get a chance to see what's on my heart and mind," he beams.
The first single "In The Morning" is already impacting radio, and Urban Mystic is taking on shows around the country while they prepare the video, to be directed by Malcolm Jones and Yannique Barker, and official album release date.
Much more than just a singer, Urban Mystic's multidimensional talents reach beyond his raspy, Southern-style vocals. He writes, plays piano and utilizes his distinctive rap/sing delivery to his full advantage. Those who have witnessed Urban Mystic's live show can attest to his charismatic, soulful flow, especially when accompanied by his eight-piece band.
In the past year, Urb has performed tracks from his first three albums to a variety of audiences across the country, and is assured that his movement will continue strongly with Love Intervention.
"I want people to know that years later I'm still me," Urban Mystic professes. "If you don't know me by now, I want you to know that I'm going to keep that soul music coming. I get questioned a lot about whether I'll do anymore up-tempo club records, and I will eventually. I'm preparing a mixtape called To The Street Level, to share some of my club vibes. I'm a chameleon with my work, and I want to give the people what they want. The sky is not the limit with Urban Mystic!"

Yesterday I opened up my short series of steampunk book reviews with five fictional offerings. Today, I'm going to share with you a collection of non-fiction books. (Can non-fiction steampunk books really be called non-fiction given the subject? Hmmm….)
One of the things I find most interesting about the steampunk genre right now is how the number of reference steampunk books is keeping pace with the fictional releases. Magazines, fashion, and even collections of essays devoted to a subject could certainly be an argument that the subject matter has reached sufficient popularity to label it as thriving. Well, examine this list of non-fiction books and ponder whether steampunk is still a fad… or if there's enough evidence to consider it here to stay.

I use this as a easy, fructose free alternative to honey, maple syrup etc and have had no problems whatsoever. However,I wouldn't use it raw eg on toast etc- but then I wouldn't do that with honey either (I only like it as a sweetener, but for the flavour)
This stuff is yummy!

I put it on oatmeal and pancakes. It is thick, shiny, and has a subtle sweetness and taste. Since it is not overly sweet, much less so than honey, it probably would not be the sweetener of choice for things like tea or baked goods. Sometimes it is fun to eat a spoonful right out of the jar. :)

I'm not a fan of sugary foods, so when I learned of this syrup, I was thrilled. I use it mainly for baking. It isn't overly sweet, and it doesn't spike your blood sugar levels.

What would it be like to take a stroll on the surface of Mars? If you could design the tallest building in the world, what would it look like? Do you dream of being the next J.K. Rowling? This summer, you can experience all of these things, and more. How? All you need is an Internet connection and your imagination.
A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day. Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play games or check e-mail. But the next time you get on the Web, try exploring the world instead. That's what Web search expert Dan Russell, of Google, encourages his students to do. "With the Internet, you can go back 11,000 years in time, or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet," Russell told TFK. "The whole scope of history and the world is open to you."
There is a wealth of information to be found online. But it doesn't have to be overwhelming, says Russell. The trick is to search smartly. For example, if your family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car. "What's the background of the place; what's the history?" says Russell. "I like to tell my kids, 'Whenever you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out.'"
Ready to launch a virtual journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get you thinking and to help you on your way. You can invite your parents along for the ride, too. Always ask for permission before downloading programs and software onto your computer. And, check with a parent or adult before visiting any new Web site.
To the Moon!
Navigate the world in 3-D with Google Earth. Begin in outer space and zoom into the streets of any city, from Hong Kong to San Francisco. Or, visit ancient monuments (including Stonehenge in England, below), watch the changing rainforests over time, and dive underwater to explore tropical reefs or shipwrecks. The opportunities for exploration are endless.
With the Moon in Google Earth tool, you can walk in Neil Armstrong's famous footsteps. Take a guided tour of the moon's surface with Armstrong's fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Aldrin. You'll be able to see exactly what they saw on their 1969 Apollo moon mission.
When you're done exploring that part of the solar system, hop on over to the Red Planet with Google Mars. There, you can zip around the surface and see images from the Mars Rovers. To get started, visit earth.google.com/moon and google.com/mars.
Visit a Galaxy Far, Far Away
Mars isn't the limit to how far in space you can go, though. See what lies outside of our solar system and even beyond the Milky Way galaxy at hubblesite.org. Over the past 20 years, the Hubble Telescope has taken some far-out images of worlds light years away. Visit the gallery to see the universe through Hubble's eye.
Build a Skyscraper

Do you want to be the next J.K. Rowling or Jeff Kinney? You don't need to print out drafts to share them with a coauthor or editor (Mom and Dad). Save a tree, and use Google Docs instead. Teachers use this in schools to help kids peer-edit, but there's no reason you can't use it with your friends for a fun side project. Start brainstorming ideas for your dream novel today at docs.google.com.
Go On a Worldwide Treasure Hunt
Geocaching (geo-cashing) is high-tech treasure hunting game played by families around the world. To play, your family will need a GPS, or global tracking device. The GPS will help you locate where other players have hidden trinkets, notes and other secret items across the globe. If you find the treasure, you must replace it with a treasure of your own. Visit geocaching.com with a parent or guardian to find some locations and begin the hunt.
Track Your T

By Christina Gonzales, Dean of Students and Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
We have chosen a beautiful place to live and go to school. While we are close to hiking and biking trails and numerous ski resorts, camping areas and other recreation spots, we need to respect these places.
So when you are out recreating in and around Boulder and in the nearby foothills and mountains, please keep your personal safety in mind.
- As the bear visit to campus last week reminds us, Boulder is home to a large number of wildlife species, including mountain lions, bears and coyotes. To lessen the chance of conflicts, store pet food indoors, make sure trash is not left outdoors and supervise pets when the are outside. All wildlife should be left alone.
- Boulder Creek presents a high risk of flash flooding. If you are outdoors in a flash flood, climb to higher ground immediately. Never walk or drive into water because there is no way of knowing how deep it is.
- Major winter storms are a frequent occurrence in Boulder. For information on campus closures, check the university homepage.
- Before hiking into any of the numerous wilderness areas near Boulder, let somebody know where you are going and when you plan to return. And always bring a friend with you.
- Colorado ranks third in the United States for the number of lightning deaths. Take this risk seriously and get indoors if possible during a lightning storm.

Please be safe and well!

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto
While still in the Yellow Magic Orchestra, Sakamoto also issued his first solo effort, 1978's Thousand Knives Of; two years later he returned with B-2 Unit, and the vast differences between the two discs gave a clear indication of the mercurial eclecticism that would define the remainder of his work. After the YMO's 1983 breakup, Sakamoto pursued his solo career full-time, achieving his artistic and commercial breakthrough that same year with his acclaimed score to the film Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (in which he also acted). The soundtrack also marked one of several collaborations between Sakamoto and David Sylvian, just one of his many intriguing musical unions; other performers with whom he worked included Thomas Dolby (on 1986's Illustrated Musical Encyclopedia), Iggy Pop, Bootsy Collins, Tony Williams (on 1988's Neo Geo), and David Byrne, with whom he co-wrote the Academy Award-winning score to the 1987 film The Last Emperor.
Other works of note include the score to Pedro Almodovar's High Heels and 1990's Beauty, Sakamoto's English-language debut, which featured cameos from Brian Wilson and Robbie Robertson. In 1993, he joined a reunited Yellow Magic Orchestra to record the LP Technodon, and in 1998 returned with Discord, his first work of classical music. Pre Life in Progress followed a year later, as did The Complete Index of Gut. In 1999, he released the album Intimate and premiered his ambitious multimedia opera LIFE.
Since 2000, Sakamoto has kept busy recording and releasing myriad albums, including his reworking of Antonio Carlos Jobim's music with cellist/arranger Jacques Morelenbaum and his wife, singer Paula Morelenbaum, on 2001's Morelenbaum 2/Sakamoto: Casa. His collaborations continued next with electronic musician Alva Noto on 2002's Vrioon and 2005's Insen. Also in 2005, Sakamoto released the experimental electronic-based album Chasm. In 2009, he released the solo acoustic album Playing the Piano, as well as the more experimental effort Out of Noise. That same year, Sakamoto was named as an Officier du Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters) at the French Embassy in Tokyo. In 2010, Playing the Piano and Out of Noise were re-released as a two-disc edition. His collaborative output across 2011 and 2012 included Summvs (with Noto), Flumina (with Fennesz), and Ancient Future (with Christopher Willits). An denuclearization advocate, Sakamoto organized the NO NUKES 2012 festival which was held in Japan in July of that year. A reunited Yellow Magic Orchestra performed at the festival as did German synth-pop pioneers Kraftwerk. The year ended with the release of Three, an album featuring new arrangements of Ryuichi's works for trios. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Thank you so much!
We loved your appartment and we had a wonderful stay!
Nice and clean and I recommend it.
Wow a very nice app! What a nice view! Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed our trip there. Metro, busses and trains very near. Friendly host! And Everything you need is in the app.
Dear hosts!
We really enjoyed staying in your apartment.
The conctact was fast, reliable and friendly. If there were any questions, Sara answerd them clearly.
The apartment is close to the metro station, supermarkets and a nice parc. In generel the neighbourhood is very authentic, open-minded and there are many things to explore, so was often not necessary to drive to the city centre.
The apartment is eqquiped with almost everything you need, we didnt miss a thing!
The apartment is clean, sunny and comfortable. We would really recommend it!
Mit der deutschen Sprache kommt man in der Umgebung um das Apartment etwas schwer voran, auch englisch ist eher selten angetroffen worden. Aber das hat es für uns fast noch authentischer gemacht!
Lovely apartment, very spacious and clean. Close to the Metro. Sara gave a good orientation.
We have rented about half a dozen holiday apartments in Italy and Lisbon in recent years and this is the best one so far. As this is a modern apartment the layout and the equipment is both nice and functional. The view is great and the view also means that a lot of light comes in when the sun is up.
Just one little snag that I hope is temporary. During our stay the water pressure was very low. I think that can be fixed.
A beautiful place. Nice view in a lively but non touristic part of lisboa. The owners are Nice and provide good service.
I stayed at the apartment with my mom for about a month. Our hosts were always in touch with us in case any help was needed and they were helpful and friendly. The apartment was really nice. It had a wonderful view of the park nearby and it was also close to two subway stations, one of which we found very useful for reaching the more central parts of Lisbon. The apartment also had everything we needed for a stay of one month. Bathroom and kitchen were all fully-equipped. Cleaning lady came every week, which was great for us. Even though it was a cold winter in Lisbon, the apartment got a lot of sun. We highly recommend this apartment for a nice stay in Lisbon.
Apartamento muy acogedor, Barrio tranquilo, muy bien comunicado. Sara encantadora. Muy recomendable.
Nos atendió Sara (que por cierto se maneja muy bien con el español) y fue muy amable con todo.
El piso estaba muy bien, fui con mi pareja y nos resultó de lo más acogedor, perfecto para dos. Aunque no esté en el centro como tal, está al lado del metro de Alameda y está muy bien comunicado. Si volviésemos a Lisboa, repetiríamos sin duda.

Movie Review: The Guard
Don Cheadle and Breandan Gleeson star in this Irish comedy thriller.
Director: John Michael McDonagh Rating: R Studio: Reprisal Films
The Guard is a brand new fish-out-of-water buddy cop comedy thriller. What is this, the 1980s? But don't stop reading and do check out the movie—because it's snappy, dry, smart and eccentrically funny.
A debut feature written and directed with smarts and deadpan panache by John Michael McDonagh (his playwright-screenwriter brother brilliantly wrote In Bruges), the film mismatches a surly career cop from a sleepy Irish seaside village (Brendan Gleeson) and a dapper, well-educated FBI agent (Don Cheadle) led by the murder of Gleeson's rookie cop partner to a trio of international cocaine runners. No one's going to accuse The Guard of reinventing the genre. But it's so funny, crammed with quirky, off-kilter characters, locations and details, let's just say that no American director should get anywhere within a mile of doing a remake.
Beautifully shot by Larry Smith, the film provides a field day for Gleeson, who is, as usual, brilliant, this time playing an idiot savant who unapologetically spouts racist bile, parties with hot young escorts, takes drugs and barely bothers to do his job. The character could come off as despicable but Gleeson keeps throwing the audience with curveball glimpses of pathos, especially when he's sparring with Cheadle or dealing unsentimentally with his ailing mother (a just-right Fionnula Flanagan). As the script has Cheadle observe of Gleeson, "I can't tell if you're really motherfucking dumb or really motherfucking dumb." Exactly. Good stuff, well played.
