By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger says the age of the specialist defensive midfielder is over.
The 'Makelele role' - named after the former France international, Claude - has become a staple of tactical talk and describes players who tend to eschew attacking play in favour of protecting their defence.
When Wenger sold Alex Song in the summer he was tipped by some to replace the Cameroon star with a traditional 'holding' player, but instead Mikel Arteta has excelled since dropping into a deeper role.
"There are no defensive midfield players at the moment," explained Wenger.
"We try to find the defensive balance collectively. We have fewer players who are purely defenders but some are physically strong in defending like Diaby, some are tactically strong like Arteta.
"At the moment we have the balance because everybody participates, but we have fewer specialists, purely defenders. We are more versatile going forward because everyone has the potential to go forward."
Wenger knows that his team's balance will have to be just right if Arsenal are to prevail against Chelsea on Saturday.
"If you have a defensive balance, yes, that is what is at stake against Chelsea," he said. "Will you be strong enough defensively, in midfield as well, to deal with them? That's where one of the tests will be."

Where I stayed
Tahitian Princess
Dec 20, Moorea: Greg, my roommate from Sacramento, and I rented an Avis car to drive ourselves around the one-road island for $74 after we tendered in from the boat to the northern village of Papetoai. We invited a lady, Pat, from York, England (we were seat mates on the flight from Los Angeles to Papeete), to join us, and she did. The language on these Tahitian
Islands are French and Tahitian, but many also speak English – especially in the tourist areas. Although the currency is French Pacific Francs, most business also accept US dollars. The island is shaped like an isosceles triangle with two mountain ranges. The one word that describes Moorea is "beautiful." It's lush green landscape with the turquoise water surrounding it is this side of paradise, and the clouds also added to the beauty.
As we left the port area in our rented car, we drove clock-wise around the island. Our first stop was Belvedere Mountain to get an excellent view of the harbor, then on the way back to the main road, we stopped at a location where the natives used to make human sacrifice. We
stopped at a location where we saw a bus tour, and do we also stopped and saw what they were looking at; a group of bungalows that sits on the water they rent out at $300 to $500 a night. In addition to the beautiful sites, we stopped at a beach front restaurant-bar for drinks where we sat with a young couple from New Zealand on their way to PA for the holidays to visit with the wife's family. We sat at a table under the shade of a tree to enjoy the expanse of turquoise water with a long stretch of white sand beach with mountains in the background. We also stopped at a Catholic church for some picture-taking. A bus tour group also stopped to visit. At $33 each for Greg and I for the car rental and fuel, it was a bargain, and a very good way to tour this beautiful island.

The most stunning road I've driven on is the one that runs between Laerdal and Aurland in the snappily titled Sogn og Fjordane region of Norway. The fjords are gorgeous of course, but what makes this particular road great is the 24.51km Laerdal Tunnel - the biggest road tunnel in the world.
Our writer Chris Reed found his stunning road in the red of the Queensland Outback. My Norwegian road stunned with its bold engineering (there are air purifiers, caves in which drivers can rest, elaborate safety measures and different lighting schemes to keep a driver's mind alert - in one instance by mimicking sunrise). Reed's stretch of dusty Queensland road was an altogether less developed affair. Willfully less developed. It seems that's how the locals like it. As Reed puts it in his excellent piece, the Queensland Outback locals "are laconic in a way that makes Speight's Southern Man look like Graham Norton".
Great Danes
Hoteliers, throw your arms open to the Danes.
One of those utterly unscientific, yet clearly banter-worthy polls, this time from Hotels.com, has found that Danish guests are the least likely to pilfer goodies from hotel rooms. A respectable 88 per cent of the Danes said they had never taken anything from a hotel room in their travels.
Kiwis come out in mid-table, with 27 per cent of us admitting to taking something extra from a hotel stay.
But rest your guilty conscience, my fellow shampoo-grabbers: this survey was only concerned with the big ticket items - plush robes or luxury bedding, that sort of thing.
Toiletries, the reasoning seems to be, are as good as yours.
Magazines and books were by far the most likely things to be lifted.
Globally, 65 per cent of guests said they'd never taken an item from a hotel room.

Does any one know What percent of Varroa is killed using the FGMO and the fogger per treatment? Or are the mites just dislodged and then can re attach from the bottom board?

Does any one know What percent of Varroa is killed using the FGMO and the fogger per treatment? Or are the mites just dislodged and then can re attach from the bottom board?
Tim Schuler
E-mail email@example.com
I have used FGMO now for 2 years and I find that I cannot answer your question completly. From my experience I have found that I have less problems with the mites using the cords and fogging weekly. All my hives have Screened Bottom Boards which let the mites drop thru to the ground and they can't crawl back on the bees.
Clinton Bemrose

Hello Mr. Bemrose.
I would like to know your personal e-mail. I left a message for you on this forum but I never received a reply.
I am in need of communicating with Mrs. Blanch Barber (regarding my presentation to the MI beekeepers association) but somehow I have lost her phone number.
Could you please help me with that. I would appreciate your assistancde very much.
Best regasrds.
Dr. Rodriguez
Dr R and others
my personal E-MAIL is firstname.lastname@example.com
if you need to contact me please drop me a message and I will send an answer ASAP but please relize that I am constantly on the move checking my yards and sometimes I never see the computer for a week.
I will see if I can find the info for you Dr R.
Clinton Bemrose
just South of Lansing Michigan
Hello folks.
To Clinton:
Thank you so much. Thanks to your information, I have already talked to the Barbers. Hope to meet you at my presentation on FGMO in your State on the 24-25 October.
To all others regarding number of mites killed by FGMO:
As I have written many times, mite's death is due to sofocation and loss of biologic fluids. It is a slow death! That is why it is so important to use regularity in your procedures, and if at all possible to utilize integrated beekeeping practices.
This year I am utilizing a number of procedures to compare efficacy and report to you. As of my latest inspection, I have MITE-FREE and SHB-FREE hives with very large bee populations in Virginia Beach and in Spain.
As I have stated previously, there is nothing secret about my work. I make known my trial results as soon as possible for the benefit of those who wish to use them on their own hives.
Incidentally, I have never said that individual beekeepers could not make their own trials. After all, they are your bees.
What I have tried to state clearly is, that
I use a regular, rigid protocol for treating my bees.
According to multiple testimonials, FGMO is working well for those who follow the procedures that I have described as being successful for me. I ask, please, do not blame FGMO failures if you for what ever reason you may have, depart from what has been established as successful procedures.
Have a wonderful summer and successful beekeeping.
Best regards.
Dr. Rodriguez
Where in Mich. in Oct.??
Mr. Bemrose, thank you for your response. The reason I am asking is that I run 250 colonies for pollination and my hives are not configured with screened bottom boards. I would like to know what percent of the Varroa are killed because that will determine if FGMO will work in my set up. There is considerable cost and effort to convert the whole operation to screened bottoms.
Hi tim
One can appreciate the problem of the expense .
Nevertheless could convert slowly . You will find it of benefit and convenience .
You could vonvert the present Bottom board by cutting the appropriate space and fit the screen This would be the major expense .
Below the screen add a catch tray which serves as adjusting ventilation feature . The "catchtray can be 1/4 outdoor plywood or whatever you see fit affordable .
A table saw would be of a tremendous asset . Nothing is set in stone here . Use whatever is available to you incl your imagination .
Just a few words on SBB.
Efficiency of SBB as a mean to reduce the varroas population is NOT well established.
Available studies on SBB (closed (CSBB) and opened (OSBB)) have showed great inconsistencies. Some have not been able to establish anything, some show, let's say, between 20% to 40% efficiency. The main element of the "thesis" being that varroas with a proper SBB (including 4cm spacing for CSBB) can not climb back on the bees when they fall. A good indicator being the number of alive varroas found on the floor of a CSBB.
All this is not surprising as this is with many other items in beekeeping (including FGMO) a not so clear question. This, even if many beekeepers are converting to SBB, is more a question of feeling, faith etc... than very well established, scientifically demonstrated matter.
The main advantage of SBB is as a monitoring device. SBB with closed screened bottom board (CSBB) is probably the best non invasive monitoring device for beekeepers. Open SBB (OSBB) are useless for that purpose and doubtfull, as I mentioned in another thread, because they are probably a positive factor in many instances faforing the reproduction of varroas.
This is why, until SBB efficiency in reducing varroas is better established, there is no urgency for a commercial beekeeper to convert 1,000 hives with all the associated costs. Those beekeepers should nevertheless proceed with a certain number of conversions that would permit them to "globaly" monitor their apiary on many aspects including varroas.
This should be a top priority for sure as no one should keep going blind when there is a possibility to run the "business" with open eyes!

The most up-to-date and official informaton on the Post 9/11 GI Bill is availabl on the VA's official website www.gibill.va.gov.
To transfer benefits the veteran must be eligible for Chapter 33 education benefits. Be advised being able to transfer the Post 9/11 benefit is a retention tool. If you do not fulfill your requirement, VA has the option to withdraw the transfer back to the first date of transfer, which can lead to overpayment. Additional information is available on the VA's GI Bill Website.
The veteran must also be a member of the Armed Forces (Active Duty, Selected Reserve or National Guard, officer or enlisted) on or after August 1, 2009, who is eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill, and:
Once a veteran makes the decision to transfer the benefits they will have to complete the following steps.
1. Go to http://milconnect.dmdc.mil
a. Fill out an application. If the veteran does not have a password they may request one through the same website.
2. Once DoD allows transferability the veteran will be able to go back to the website and print off verification of transferability. We are suggesting 7-10 duty days, could be more or less.
3. The dependent who is receiving the benefit must send a copy of the letter from DoD and completed VA Form 22-1990E, either hard copy or at the GI Bill website via VONAPP.
4. Once the dependent receives the Certificate of Eligibility (COE) they may go to the accredited school and turn in the COE to the Certifying Official (CO) who in turn will certify the student for that semester they are attending. (the student must contact the CO each semester they are enrolled in school to ensure payments are made)

Yeah, we took a small group of people to the fair after Chevy shut it down to the public, meaning no waiting lines for us ... and it was a blast. The 2014 Corvette Stingray is pretty amazing, 460 hp of power and quad exhaust dead center in the rear. Standard features of the car will include a 6.2-litre LT1 V-8 engine with displacement and pushrod architecture. Direct injection and optimized combustion hike the power while boosting the torque curves by 50 pound-feet between 2000 and 3500 rpm. GM estimates the engine will make 460 horsepower making it the most powerful standard Corvette to date. The interior of the car is built with real carbon fiber materials, advanced driver technology, aesthetic and aerodynamic exterior design, and Track-able Z51 Performance Package. The C7's tech arsenal includes an electronically controlled limited-slip differential, aerodynamic lessons learned from racing, manual-transmission rev matching, and a patented means of sensing tire temperature to fine-tune the chassis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfry4svu800

Introduction to the Report
The State ESEA1 Title I Participation Summary Report for 2003-04 summarizes the participation data for the Title I, Part A (Title I), Grants to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) program. This program provides federal funds to assist eligible school districts and schools in supporting opportunities for at-risk children 2 to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to meet challenging state content and achievement standards. Title I serves at-risk children from preschool through high school, including providing supplemental services to many special populations, including children with disabilities, students with limited English proficiency (LEP), and migrant children. This program also provides services to eligible children in nonpublic schools and in local institutions serving neglected or delinquent students and offers other support services, such as family literacy services.
This report provides Title I participation data for 2003-04, the second year the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) was implemented. The report also presents comparisons with 2002-03 and previous years that were covered by prior laws, including the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994 (IASA). Topics include districts, schools and students served, the range of instructional and support services provided, Title I staffing patterns, and schools' progress toward meeting performance standards, as reported by states on Parts I and II of the Consolidated State Performance Reports (CSPR). The tables shown in this report reflect data submitted by the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and Puerto Rico. State-by-state tables follow the text. This report supplements the information provided in the 2003-04 No Child Left Behind Annual Report to Congress, also prepared by the U.S. Department of Education (the Department).
The quality and timeliness of the state-submitted data continue to be an issue. States were required to submit Part I of the CSPR to the Department in January 2005 and Part II in April 2005; however, not all states met these deadlines. Wyoming did not submit complete 2003-04 Title I participation figures for Part II, so the state-level tables at the end of this report show blank cells for this state. In addition, the states often submitted reports that were incomplete or included apparent errors or inconsistencies. The states were contacted and asked to verify their data or provide revised data. Four states did not submit revised data and two states did not provide final verification of their CSPR data. State data that differed dramatically from previous years and could not be verified were omitted from the data analyses.
The problem of incomplete data is greatest when the CSPR data collection form changes from one year to the next. There are, however, some instances in which states did not provide required information for items in which the data collection form remained the same as in the previous year. In order to improve the submission process in the future, the Department is collaborating with states through tools such as the Education Data Exchange Network (EDEN) and the EDFacts reporting system.
During the data verification process, states could revise information submitted for 2003-04 as well as information submitted for earlier years. As a result of these revisions, some of the information shown in this report for years prior to 2003-04 differs from previously published figures. Additionally, a new table has been included in this report showing the number of districts identified for improvement. The 2003-04 achievement results will be reported separately in State Education Indicators With a Focus on Title I: 2003-04. Refer to the Department's Web site at http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/opepd/ppss/reports.html#title.
1. The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Improving America's Schools Act, Pub. L. No. 103-382, 108 Stat. 3518, et. seq. (1994). This act was further amended by the No Child Left Behind Act, Pub. L. No. 107-110, 20 U.S.C. § 6301 (2002) (enacted Jan. 8, 2002).
2. LEAs target the Title I funds they receive to schools with the highest percentages of children from low-income families. Schools in which poor children make up at least 40 percent of enrollment are eligible to use Title I funds for schoolwide programs that serve all children in the school. Unless a participating school is operating a schoolwide program, the school must focus Title I services on children who are failing, or most at-risk of failing, to meet state academic standards.

RIP John
Didn't know if anyone has heard or not, John Noveske has died in a car crash. Here is the report from the Oregon State Police:
Fatal Traffic Crash - Highway 260 west of Grants Pass - 01/05/13
Oregon State Police (OSP) is continuing the investigation into Friday night's single vehicle fatal traffic crash along Highway 260 (Lower River Road) west of Grants Pass that resulted in the death of a Grants Pass man.
According to Sergeant Tyler Lee, on January 4, 2013 at approximately 9:13 p.m., a 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser driven by JOHN NOVESKE, age 36, from Grants Pass, was westbound on Highway 260 near El Camino Way. As the vehicle negotiated a right curve, it traveled across the oncoming lane onto the dirt highway shoulder until it struck two large boulders. The vehicle rolled and NOVESKE was ejected.
NOVESKE, who is the owner of a local rifle manufacturing company, was not using safety restraints and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
OSP troopers from the Grants Pass and Central Point offices are continuing the investigation. Trooper Ryan Neuenschwander is the lead investigator.
OSP was assisted at the scene by Rural Metro Fire Department, ODOT and AMR ambulance. No photographs for release
Noveske Rifleworks has issued the following statement:
"Noveske Rifleworks would ask you to remember the passing of our founder, John Noveske, who died Friday, January 4th 2013 in an automobile accident."
"John planned for all eventualities, and wanted to ensure any changes would be as seamless as possible for our customers, dealers, suppliers, employees and friends. While this will be a trying time, we do not expect a change in the day to day operations of Noveske Rifleworks. We would like to thank you for your support as we deal with our loss, and would ask that instead of flowers, you consider a donation to a cause we will announce at later date."
"John was more than just the founder of Noveske Rifleworks, he was a loving husband and father, and caring friend."
RIP John

text: Wow... Finally someone who agrees with me. He's so overrated. Here's the question I'll ask for the millionth time... Why can't OU copy Alabama or even a Notre Dame or K-State and just play some good old fashioned power football? I think throwing the ball every down and these super-hurry-up offenses should be only for undermanned gimmick teams and maybe teams who happen to have the rare mega great QB who can handle it. Landry Jones would not fit that for me. You can recruit some of the best kids in Texas and the midwest... Get better in the trenches and use that power. And BTW, since you're an OU fan... What do you think of Switzer saying recently that they just don't have the top talent on defense, the Selmons or even the Tommie Harrises up front? He's right, of course. But I don't see why they don't, especially since Texas has been down for a couple of years.

White House Announces Nearly 300,000 Summer Jobs
The Obama administration has announced commitments from 95 companies and non-profits; the cities of Philadelphia, Chicago, and San Francisco; two federal agencies; and the White House to provide 90,000 new paid summer jobs and over 200,000 other employment opportunities for low-income and disconnected youth this year as part of the Summer Jobs+ initiative. The administration will also launch the Summer Jobs+ Bank, an online search tool providing a single-stop resource for young job seekers to connect with jobs, internships, and other employment opportunities both this summer and year round. The Summer Jobs + initiative was first reported in OVAE Connection on March 15, 2012.
Career and Technical Education Collaboration
This is the third column in a series on the Blueprint for Transforming Career and Technical Education. The second core principle detailed in the blueprint is collaboration, particularly among secondary and postsecondary institutions, employers, and industry partners, designed to improve the quality of CTE programs. These partnerships are essential for creating the high-quality CTE programs necessary to prepare students for in-demand occupations in high-growth industry sectors that will dominate the 21st century global economy.
As the Blueprint notes, "Strong collaborations between secondary and postsecondary education institutions, employers, industry, and other partners are essential to creating high-quality CTE programs, and they result in numerous benefits. Academic, career, and technical content can be made more relevant, rigorous, and better aligned with the skills demanded by the labor market. Students can obtain college credit for course work completed in high school, apprenticeships, or industry-based training. Students also can obtain a clearer understanding of the requirements for entry into college programs, positioning them for seamless transitions into postsecondary education. Strong collaborations also enable resources, such as equipment and facility space, to be purchased and used more efficiently."
The blueprint encourages collaboration in two important ways: (1) it permits only consortia of local education agencies and postsecondary institutions and their partners to apply to states for Perkins funding, and (2) it requires states to meet a matching requirement using private-sector resources in order to receive Perkins funding.
An eligible consortium could be based on geography, an occupational or industrial sector, or other considerations. At a minimum, an eligible consortium must include local education agencies with at least one of them serving a high concentration of students from low-income families, and postsecondary institutions that offer two-year degrees. Other partners in a consortium could be research universities that play a critical role in economic development as well as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and other minority-serving institutions.
In current practice, employers, industry, and labor partners—who have the best understanding of immediate, near-term, and future labor market needs—do not have adequate opportunities to participate in designing and implementing CTE programs. The blueprint addresses this issue by establishing a matching requirement that states must meet to receive Perkins funds. That requirement could be met with cash or in-kind resources, such as equipment, training facilities, entrepreneurial start-up capital, or technical assessments, to encourage collaboration between stakeholders within a consortium.
The next issue of OVAE Connection will discuss examples of successful collaborations.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Its a fantastic Finca in the countryside of Mallorca but still very close to Santa Margalida. It has a beautiful, large and clean pool. The sourrounding yard is decorated with beautiful flowers. The house is decorated in an "old-fashion/classical" style and very cosy. The furniture in- and outside is very comfortable and solid - no plastic chairs or similar. The interior gives you everything you need: A huge fridge including 3 big ice buckets, a washing mashine, a barbeque on the terrace and a nice outside-couchplace. The kitchen provides any tool you´d need. Well, I could write a novel about the beauty of this place...
Last but not least we had very nice expirience with the daughter of the owner who visited us the second day in order to ask if everything is okay and to give some info about garbage and electronics.
To make a long story short: We had a fantastic stay and we will come back to this beautiful place a s soon as possible.

Press Review Excerpt: Led Zeppelin Flies High, Heavy, Loud
So now, the history-making Led Zeppelin concert series has thundered through Dallas-Fort Worth, breaking gate records here as has been the case of previous stops of the English group's current and chaotic U.S. tour, which surely will bring more attendance marks before the March 27 conclusion in Los Angeles.
At three straight sold-out performances in Fort Worth (Monday night) and in Dallas (Tuesday and Wednesday nights) the world renowned 4-man rock band attracted 34,000 fans, which according to show promoters Concerts West, is an all-time gate record for an indoor rock show in this area.
But still, even as some of that history continues to ring in the ears, the critic's task remains the same, despite the record shattering crowds, or the extended applause for contrived encores of even the overwhelming satisfaction among throngs of loyal Zeppelin fans.
ANYONE assuming such apparent signs of success would sway the critic need only refer to an interview with Zeppelin's famed guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant published in the March 13 issue of Rolling Stone.
The text points out that although the group five albums have each sold in excess of one million units and their current U.S. tour (the first in 18 months) is expected to be the largest grossing undertaking in rock history, "the band has been continually kicked, shoved, pummeled and kneed in the groin by critics of all stripes."
To be sure, audience excitement and anticipation was greater than usual just before the group's concert debut in Dallas on Tuesday night.
Zeppelin opened strong and immediately established the well-expected pattern of Page sharing the fronting role with Plant's shrill, penetrating vocals. On "Lady," (Over the Hills and Far Away) Plant joined Page's non-stop guitar runs in a crisp duo that was well executed, although the group's musical emphasis often seems to lack a relation to the legitimate, impulsive expression of feeling.
Page's style appears uncontrolled, very aggressive and almost always at a high level of unvarying intensity. His guitar and Plant's scorching vocal tones embody the Zeppelin sound. When back-grounded by John Paul Jones' bottom- heavy bass and drummer John (Bonzo) Bonham's booming licks, that group sound is thunderous, jagged, over bearing.
And, of course, the crowd loved it. With a continually superb light snow and stage presentation, Zeppelin raged hours through the evening only rarely straying from the high-stress attack, whether on older tunes ("Black Dog," "No Quarter," "Dazed and Confused") or on cuts from their latest album.
"Physical Graffiti," Kashmir," "In My Dying." Finally, their finest work of all, "Stairway To Heaven," brought out the very best from Zeppelin and proved to some extent the group can exert musical expression with subtle finesse, rather than the usual total assault approach. (by C.BATES - Dallas Morning News, March 1975)

Concert description
This is a pretty good show but not tops although this is one of the best if not the best recording board as for the sound. It reaches the same peak level as the official releases! Robert's voice is in pretty bad shape, but the instrumental machine is playing fine. Jones and Bonham in particular are wonderful, with Bonham reaching a peak of playing in Sick Again and In My Time Of Dying that is staggering. Well presented mellotron has been introduced tonight: "John Paul Jones played mellotron, a very cheap form of orchestration ... and he doesn't cost that much to rent either!" No Quarter could be a fine version but is cut. Trampled Underfoot is outstanding and vocal lyrics near the end are awesome. Also the audience was rather dull so Plant was trying to inject the life to the crowd: "Why don't you wake up, c'mon!"

The Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan pipeline proposals plan to significantly increase heavy oil tankers to Asia and both governments have promised "world-class" oil spill response on land and in the water. British Columbians are skeptical about this commitment. Stories like the sinking tug near Squamish are regularly in and out of the media reminding folks that nothing has been done. There is nothing "world-class" about the provincial-federal response to marine-based environmental concerns in the past.

Your first day of high school may be months away, but you can start preparing for it now with these ideas.
Orient yourself
Before orientation day, you might even want to sit down and write up a list of questions to ask while you're there.
If your high school doesn't offer a special orientation day, or somehow you miss the one that was scheduled, talk to an adult about arranging a time to visit the campus before the official start of freshman year.
See who's been there, done that
If you have an older brother or sister who's already in high school, then you've probably already heard and seen a lot through his or her experiences. Still, it's worth sitting down with your sib to ask some specific questions and clear up any misconceptions you may have. If you don't have an older sibling, seek out the sibs of friends and neighbors to get the inside scoop. Some questions you may want to ask include:
Identify your support system
Your high school already has people and programs in place that will help you make the leap, such as:
You can also go right to some of your future teachers. For example, if you play clarinet, talk to your music teacher about helping you arrange to meet the high school band leader ahead of time.
Get a taste of high school life
A great way to feel more familiar with your future school is to:
Get your parent involved
The more you look at this as a team project between you and your parents, the easier it will be. The adults in your family can:

wood pellet grill
I am out looking at BGE and Primo ceramic grills today. At the Primo dealer, I was looking at the oval and the round and asking questions. The salesperson asked if I had seen a Traeger wood pellet grill. I had not so we took a look. I have to say that I was impressed. It is not a flashy BBQ but the design is elegant and simple. I like that the wood pellets can be purchased in different types of woods such as oak , cherry, mesquitec. (found in one of the articles on wood pellets resource). Starting up the Traeger seems to be almost as easy as a gas grill. Turn it on and an auger starts moving pellets into the burn cup and lights them, after a few minutes it is ready to go. The cooking is all indirect/IR/convection. They claim it can get up to 450 degrees for grilling a steak or burgers. The price is comparable to a ceramic grill. Maintenence and cleanup seem to be a little less than a ceramic grill. I imagine the cost of pellets could run about the same as running a gas grill at ~$18 per bag. The ceramic grill is probably more economical on its use of lump charcoal. MFG's Link:Traeger website
I searched the forum hoping to find info and maybe personal experience here about the Traeger but very little popped up. Is it not a good option for BBQ or is not not very well known, or better suited as a smoker? They have supossedly been around for 15-20 years and I have not heard of them until today. Anyone else used/considered a wood pellet grill?

Re: wood pellet grill
If you search all over the UK it's very unlikely that you'll find anyone using wood pellets for cooking.
Wood Pellets are very much new to the UK as a method for heating and hot water (let alone cooking with them) - soon to replace oil and gas boilers as they are financially incentivised by the UK Government under the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI).
If you need to buy wood pellets or learn more about getting a wood pellet heating system installed for FREE under the RHI then look up WoodPellets2U - they appear to be market leaders in this field.
It won't be too long though before us brits have wood pellet inserts for cookers and barbeques!

Re: wood pellet grill
I realise the original question is a bit old, but thought I would chip in, after the previous reply.
While not common in the UK, there are certainly a number of people using pellet grills, including myself.
I have the Traeger Lil' Tex, which is one of the smaller grills, and I have had it about 3-4 months. It is very easy to use, and I have had some excellent results from it; which seeing I was a smoking novice when I got it, is saying something!
A few things worth noting.
The Traeger (and other pellet grills) are best suited to slow and low cooking - smoking a brisket or pork shoulder for 8-10 hours. It can pretty much be left to its own devices, particularly if you also invest in a decent remote meat thermometer. You fill the hopper up with pellets and set it going, and it feeds the pellets into the burner as required. Because of this mechanism, and the electronics, it does need electricity to run, although all the heat for the cooker comes from the pellets themselves.
It does also have a high setting, which can be used for burgers and sausages and such. But the heat isn't as high as you would get on a charcoal grill - it cooks lovely juicy burgers, but you won't get a sear mark (correction: see note below). For this reason, I tend to use the Traeger for smoking and slow cooking, and use a Weber charcoal kettle for grilling sausages.
On the highter setting, the Traeger does make incredibly nice pizza - if you think about it, it is the equivalent of a wood-fired oven.
Regarding the wood pellets - you shouldn't use wood pellets sold for heating systems, as they may have impurities and binders in them that are not good (or safe) for food. So you should ony use pellets sold for use with a pellet grill. There are not as many sources of food grade pellets in the UK as there are in the US, but there are a couple of companies out there.
Don't be put off by the bags of BBQ wood pellets you see in garden centres, which cost a fiver or more a pound. These are intended to be used with Charcoal grills, and are pure flavourwood (apple, cherry etc). Pellet grill pellets tend to be about 30% flavourwood, 70% alder or oak; and sold in 20lb bags from specialist outlets (I buy mine online), and cost approximately one pound per lb. I use between half and a pound of pellets per hour, so it is fairly economical.
Hope that answers some questions.
[Edit: I spoke too soon. I have since found that by giving the grill long enough to get up to full heat, I can get excellent sear marks]

Re: wood pellet grill
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the detailed info on Trager grills, they sound right up my street. I've been looking for a UK outlet for Traeger and smoke pellets but haven't had much luck so far. Any info you can give me would be much appreciated.

Re: wood pellet grill
I bought my Traeger from the American BBQ Company and can recommend them. They are a UK company, now based in Hertfordshire.
This forum does not allow links, but a web search will find them.
Suggest you give them a ring, as they have a number of new products, and are very helpful.

Re: wood pellet grill
Thought I would update this here with a bit more information about Pellet Grills, for anyone interested - I thought it made sense to post this to the original topic.
The Pellet Grill market in the UK is still small, but it is growing, which has got to be good for any existing users, and anyone interested in smoking with pure wood, but with the ease of a gas BBQ.
For a while now, there has been a second brand available, other than the Traeger. Louisiana Grills have the usual range of small and larger pellet smoker/grills, and these are available from a number of outlets. They seem to have been marketed more thoroughly than Traeger, in that I have even seen them in Garden Centres. I haven't cooked on one, but understand that they are excellent grills, albeit more expensive than the Traeger.
There is soon to be a new brand on the market - Green Mountain Grills (GMG). This is another US manufacturer, who are about to launch in the UK. Again, their grills come well recommended in the US (again, I have no personal experience of them), and from what I hear, they should be more affordable. The American BBQ Company, who I mentioned earlier, is to be the UK dealer.
It seems that the American BBQ Company has ceased its relationship with Traeger, but I have heard rumours that Traeger are planning a relaunch here in 2012.
In general, for a small Pellet Grill, you are talking about somewhere between 600 and 800 pounds. This sounds a lot, next to a top end kettle BBQ at 150-200 quid max, but I think that is not a fair comparison. Pellet Grills are in the same market as the higher-end gas grills, to my mind. A small grill can cook easily for 6-8 people - with some preparation, and an added shelf, I have catered for over a dozen guests, with no problems.
On the fuel front (the little wood pellets these run on), there has been some changes as well. although most wood pellets are still around �18-20 per 20lb bag, Liverpool Wood Pellets (who specialise in *heating* pellets, are now importing food grade wood pellets and selling them for half that price. Looks like they have spotted a new market that they are exploring. As a rough guide, a small pellet grill uses 0.5lb of pellets per hour when smoking, and up to 1.5lb of pellets per hour when grilling on high. So it now compares well with both charcoal and gas for fuel costs.
Please note that I am just a Pellet Grill user, and have no association with any of the companies I have mentioned.
If anyone has any further questions, feel free to ask.

Man accused of killing Randolph County child appears in court
HUNTSVILLE, Mo. - A murder trial is set for a man accused of killing a child in Randolph County.
Joseph Laswell, 23, of Clark appeared in court Wednesday, charged with second-degree murder in the death of 18-month-old Jayden Bradds in November.
Laswell is accused of abusing his girlfriend's child, which led to Jayden Bradds' death.
Jayden's family were very emotional while watching Laswell's court appearance and said they want to get justice for Jayden.
"I think the hardest part sitting in court watching him, he shows no remorse, no emotions for what the had done to an innocent child," said Jayden's aunt, Ashley Redelfs.
In court documents, Laswell admitted to getting angry with Jayden after the child picked up a call on his cell phone. Laswell then allegedly pushed the child, causing Jayden to hit his head.
"We still don't know all the answers," said Jayden's aunt, Dianna McGee. "But he's admitted just to hitting him and various things. In my mind he's responsible, he's responsible for it."
Laswell is facing second-degree murder, child abuse and assault charges.
"Hopefully at the trial, they'll see that he is guilty and we get the justice [Jayden] deserves," said Redelfs.
The judge set a trial date for October.

HealthWatch: Saving Soldiers from Suicide
LOS ANGELES (Ivanhoe Newswire) - We often hear about soldiers killed in combat, but what about those who take their own lives? One survey conducted by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America found 30 percent of service members have considered suicide. It's a complex problem that's on the rise.
Corporal Michael Jernigan is proud of his service in Iraq, but it came at a price.
"I'm the first U.S. serviceman to lose both eyes in the global war on terror," he told Ivanhoe.
His Humvee drove into a roadside bomb. He lost of his eyes, two fingers, damaged his hand and knee, and crushed his skull. He had 30 surgeries in one year.
"There were times that I laid in the hospital bed, and I wished that I would have died on the street in Iraq," Jernigan explained.
He was able to bounce back, but many aren't. Every day, 22 veterans kill themselves. That's a suicide every 65 minutes.
UCLA doctor, Patrick Link, said suicide rates went up for both deployed and non-deployed service members since 2004.
"A surprisingly large number of soldiers are coming into the army with psychiatric problems," Patrick Link, MD, Psychiatrist, UCLA Dept. of Psychiatry, told Ivanhoe.
About one-in-four soldiers suffers from at least one psychiatric problem, and about one-third of attempted suicides are associated with mental disorders before joining the army. Other risk factors include being male, being white, a low rank, and a low education level. Dr. Link said better screening and support for managing stress are needed.
"Ideally, you would like to have people be so resilient to stress that it actually improves their lives instead of makes them worse," he explained.
Jernigan co-founded a program called Paws for Patriots to help place service dogs with veterans. Now he helps the 22-kill initiative raise awareness about veteran suicide.
"We try to support them and empower them," said Jernigan.
Even though he's had his share of hard times, he said he wouldn't change it.
"The whole thing, I'd do it all over again," Jernigan said. "I really would."
Suicide rates among those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan were roughly 30 per 100,000. Rates for civilian suicide in the same age and demographics were about 19 per 100,000. The study also found women have lower suicide rates than men in the army except during deployments.

Running Fedora on a Kirkwood Device
This page will give a user detailed instructions for running Fedora 17 GA on a Kirkwood based device. The F17 GA image provides a user with a minimal text based installation to a serial console. At the moment there is no GUI image available. F17 GA image has been tested to run on GuruPlug Server Plus using microSD card.
Downloading the image
The first step is to download the Fedora 17 image. The prebuilt images include kernels and can be written directly to an microSD Card and requires additional steps (uboot configurations) to boot. The serial console image requires a minimum of 2GB card.
Writing the Image
Please be aware that writing the image to any drive (SD/microSD/USB/Hard Drive) will erase any existing data in that drive. Please make sure that the card is not write protected.
Linux Users
The image can be written to a microSD card as long as it meets the minimum size requirements noted above (2GB for the serial image)
- Connect the microSD card to a computer and make a note of the drive.
- To write the image to a microSD card run the following command (Please change the drive to the location of the microSD card)
xzcat Fedora-17-arm-kirkwood-mmcblk0.img.xz > /dev/<location-of-your-microSD-card>
- Once completed run the command below to ensure the entire image is written to the card
Windows Users
- 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 microSD card 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. You will have to use a third party app 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 your current drives.
ls /dev/disk?
- Connect the microSD 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
- 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-arm-kirkwood-mmcblk0.img.xz > /dev/<location-of-your-microSD-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-arm-kirkwood-mmcblk0.img of=/dev/<location-of-your-microSD-card>
- Click and eject the microSD card
Booting the Image
Connect the newly created media to your Guruplug and power on. Depending on the model/version of the plug/uboot, you may need to add additional uboot parameters or edit the existing ones. Here is an example that has been tested to work with the GuruPlug Server Plus
printenv set bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sdb2 rootwait' set loadInitrd 'fatload usb 1:1 0x7400000 uInitrd-kirkwood' set loadImage 'fatload usb 1:1 0x6400000 uImage-kirkwood' set bootcmd 'usb start; ${loadImage}; ${loadInitrd} ; bootm 0x6400000 0x7400000' boot
If the above command is successful and the plug boots, then during next boot adding saveenv before boot will save the changes.
Using Fedora on the Kirkwood Device
At this point no further steps should require and your system should boot to a text based log in prompt (serial image). The default root password is "fedoraarm". This should be changed immediately.
Known Issues
- Some images have ntpdate failed during boot, but expected running inside firewall. The following command can be applied to address the issue
service ntpd stop ntpdate <LocalNTPServer>
- 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 2GB (console) or 4GB (xfce) SD cards. 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
Additional Support
There are Fedora ARM users all around the globe - if you need assistance, would like to provide feedback or contribute to Fedora ARM please visit us on the IRC - we can be found in #fedora-arm on Freenode. You can also contact us on the mailing list - firstname.lastname@example.com

That was in 2009. What followed in 2010 was a broader business and IT transformation initiative, and the team driving that also required a collaboration environment to work with. This prompted a more formal "bake-off" analysis of the major players in enterprise social networking, including IBM, Jive Software and others. "When it comes down to technology, they all had about the same thing," Waryas said.
However, State Street had become a "SharePoint shop" ever since adopting SharePoint 2007. Although there was a need to consolidate sites and institute better governance, SharePoint was so established as a standard for document sharing and other forms of collaboration that "we realized we weren't going to be able to fight the SharePoint beast," Waryas said. The recommendation to the executive team was "we're not going to fight this, and we're not going to stand up two separate platforms," she said.
Although SharePoint itself wasn't a complete social solution at that time, Microsoft made an introduction to NewsGator, which has made a business of filling in the gaps in SharePoint as a social platform. Even with the enhancements in SharePoint 2013, NewsGator continues to leapfrog SharePoint while aiming to steer its own course.
The collaboration team Waryas established also recognized that it had been a mistake to deliver SharePoint as an IT initiative divorced from a broader corporate strategy on information management. By establishing many pockets of collaboration activity, State Street had denied itself the possibilities of global collaboration across the organization. So part of the project became chasing down the many separate SharePoint sites that had been established and folding them into one social collaboration network. Since SharePoint can be used for things other than straight collaboration -- for example, as a platform for application development -- there are still SharePoint instances that will escape this dragnet. As a rule, however, the firm has ruled that teams should collaborate in groups within the enterprise social network, rather than on separate SharePoint sites.
To rationalize the SharePoint network, her team has been checking the activity logs for each site to see if it is being used and checking that there is a site administrator actively managing it. If not, they shut it down. They are applying the same sort of discipline to community management on the social platform, sunsetting communities that aren't being used. "I'm ... watching over what communities get stood up and facilitate weekly calls" with community managers, Waryas said.
To make social collaboration fit the security concerns of a regulated industry, State Street applied an existing information-classification policy to communities, with tightest restrictions on those who work with highly confidential or sensitive information.
As she did with the customer platform, Waryas established a champions program to promote the use of the social intranet, which has about 1,000 people signed up and 400 actively engaged. They also serve as an advisory body to discuss concerns about governance and community management.
The next phase of the project is to pull all intranet content into the social network. At the same time that the social collaboration project was moving forward, a marketing-led brand alignment initiative had been aggressively consolidating Web portals, including those used for internal communication. Unfortunately, they had been doing it on a different technical foundation, IBM WebSphere. Now that content needed to be migrated once more, to SharePoint.
"We decided we needed to rationalize what we had, in terms of content management, for the sake of making things readily accessible," Waryas said. To be effective at boosting productivity, the network needed to make content easier to find in a search.
Longer term, she "absolutely" sees potential for integrating business applications with the social network. For example, as part of its transformation program, State Street is creating operational dashboards to help fund accountants track trades, and there ought to be ways of integrating those dashboards into the social network or adding social functionality to the dashboards, she said. "If your fund has an alert on it, we'd like you to be able to click on it and see what's going on with that fund -- and then have a person picker, where you could have a subject matter expert pop up as a contact." However, such enhancements won't get past the strategic planning stage this year -- what's funded for now is getting the basics of social communication and collaboration right, she said.
The social intranet is also focused on boosting adoption. State Street Collaborate will be welcoming users who had been excluded in the past, such as investment advisers who initially couldn't be supported on the platform for lack of a way to archive their social communications, as required under financial industry regulations. Including those people should make a big difference because many of their coworkers were reluctant to invest time in an employee social network if it didn't include everyone.

The fact that everyone is being secretive about Nicks' injury is what bothers me. He hasn't played since 9/16 against the Buccaneers, so by now the coaching staff must know what the full diagnosis is. They seem to just be playing wait-and-see mind games with our opponent because he's an impact player you'd want to prepare for.
Knee injuries are scary too. What if he ends up reaggravating whatever's wrong with his knee next week if he were to play against the Niners? Is there a world record for torn ACL's by one team? Because I think we might have a record. If this is any kind of serious injury give him the time he needs.

Per Rotoworld:
NFL Network's Mike Mayock says he is "scared to death" of Georgia LB Alec Ogletree as a first-round pick due both to off- and on-field concerns.
Ogletree is a candidate to slide out of the first round because his character is a nightmare. "Im scared to death about Ogletree, both for on- and off-the-field issues," Mayock said. "When you put the tape on, he has no clue what hes doing. He looks like a safety that somebody plugged inside at inside linebacker. He just runs around." Mayock also called Ogletree's work ethic and passion for the game "question marks right now."

Outpour of concern continues over state's diminishing water supply
POCATELLO, Idaho - Wednesday's heavy rains still will not be nearly enough to combat the state's tough drought conditions this year, which has been causing a rising problem with the diminishing water level in the Snake River aquifer.
This upcoming legislative session, two issues will be presented in front of the state legislature, both aimed at bringing the water levels in the Snake River aquifer back up to save Idaho's water supply.
Idaho Water Resource Board chairman Roger Chase said the first issue is stabilizing the aquifer by recharging it.
"The best way to do that is to take water in the spring when you have excess water and put it in the aquifer and recharge it that way," Chase said.
He mentioned the Lake Erie-sized aquifer loses between 300,000 and 600,000 acre feet each year. This is problematic since we only put in an average of 100,000 acre feet each year, which is well-below what is needed.
"Finding new sources of water is tough so putting excess flows from the springtime is the most viable solution," Chase said.
He said every time water is put into the aquifer, it can stay there for 10 to 15 years - ideally.
"Realistically," Chase said, "it's actually between two to five years."
The second issue that will go before the state legislature is extending the moratorium across the entire aquifer.
This means, people cannot break new land to tap into this water source unless legally allowed to do so.
"There is no more water, so if you open up new land, you're going to mine the aquifer more and take somebody else's water," Chase said.
These issues have prompted the state's Surface Water Coalition to file two petitions with the Idaho Department of Water Resources on August 15 which will better-monitor development in the non-trust water area of the Snake River and would re-establish management controls on ground water development in certain areas.
The coalition is made-up of seven irrigation organizations that help dole-out water to more than 630,000 acres of farmland.
Coalition spokesman and attorney representing a number of these irrigation organizations John Simpson said the hydraulic conditions of the aquifer has not improved over the years and continues to worsen.
He said these petitions are not aimed at halting development along the Snake River, but instead to review the hydraulic conditions to see if they are consistent with why the moratorium was put in place almost 20 years ago, and to see that if someone files a new application for water rights, that they need to provide mitigation as well.
Simpson noted the state and the Department of Water Resources both recognized that the effects of the drought and and upswing in development, there is now a situation of declining water supply that is almost dwarfed by the existing demand.
He also said the Coalition feels the moratorium would help give managers of water resources the right tools to help manage the water supply.
Both Simpson and Chase said nobody is in danger of having their water supply cut-off at the moment, however more efforts need to be taken to stabilize the aquifer so that situation will not arise in the future.

Product Details
Passenger Side Power Towing Mirror (CH1321228) by Replace®. Foldaway. Heated. Without Turn Signal. Without Automatic Dimming. Textured Black. 2 Row Plug. With Curved Arm Cover Seam. Damaged or broken mirror housings make your car unsightly, but driving with cracked or missing mirror glass can be dangerous, not to mention illegal. Don't risk your safety or run afoul of the law because of the high cost of an original equipment (OE) mirror! Replace side door mirrors are direct replacements for factory originals but cost much less. You get OE quality without the OE price.
- Same quality as OE for less money
- Designed with the latest software and manufactured with modern tooling
- Direct replacement
- Installs the same as factory unit
- Same dimensions as OE part
- Same gauge material as OE
- No vehicle modifications required for installation
- Backed by a limited lifetime warranty
In the past your options for replacing a damaged body component were finding a good used one, buying a cheap replacement, or paying big bucks for an OE body component. Because damage to these parts is so prevalent, searching for a useable piece from a scrap yard is a waste of time. And many cheap replacement body components don't fit properly and aren't even made of the proper gauge material.
Today you can fix your car or truck properly and have money left in your pocket with a new quality replacement body component from Replace. Replace offers OE quality body parts at less than original equipment prices. You get the same quality part that you'd get at the dealer without the high dealer price. A Replace body component will look and fit just like a body component from the dealer, so your car or truck will look new again. Replace body components are designed using the latest software so they exactly replicate the OE units, then they're manufactured using the most modern tooling, so the end product looks and fits exactly as designed. A Replace body component is made to the same dimensions as OE with the same gauge material.
Body repair is expensive enough without paying more than necessary for quality parts. A Replace body component is the sensible alternative to the high dealer price markup. A Replace body component will get you back on the road in a car or truck that looks brand new, without breaking the bank. Replace is so confident in the quality of its body components that they're backed by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns the vehicle on which the part is installed. This includes perforation (metal rust-through) due to corrosion in normal use.
Drive around any urban area and you'll see them: Cars and trucks with damaged, broken or even missing mirrors. Driving down narrow streets in close proximity to parked cars makes mirror-to-mirror contact almost inevitable. Mirrors have become so large (and so expensive!) that many newer cars feature power folding mechanisms to bring the mirrors close to the body and out of harm's way.
Not only does a broken or missing side mirror disfigure an otherwise nice car, it can make driving dangerous. Driving without being able to see behind or to the side of your vehicle can easily result in a collision with a vehicle you weren't able to see. And law enforcement officers will ticket, and maybe even impound, vehicles they judge to be unsafe. But going to the dealership to buy a replacement side mirror can be so expensive!
Forget about the dealer; get a Replace OE quality replacement side door mirror. For much less cash than the factory unit, you get a replacement mirror that is identical to OE in every way; same quality, same method of installation. A Replace side door mirror isn't some cheap universal fit part that will require extensive modifications to your vehicle for fitment. The Replace mirror will look, mount and function exactly the same as the original. Power and heated mirrors have the same electrical connectors, for plug and play installation.
Replace side door mirrors are so reasonably priced that there's no reason to live with a disfigured vehicle or endanger anyone by driving an unsafe car or truck. Get a Replace mirror and enjoy peace of mind and cash in your wallet! Replace is so confident in the quality of its mirrors that they're backed by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns the vehicle on which the part is installed.
When selecting the Replace® component that is right for your model from the Product Options list, you may be offered a choice of Good, Better or Best. Good may be a part manufactured by a different company than the one that made the original part, but because it's based on the same design, it will look and function identically to the OE part. Better may be a part made by a brand name manufacturer and Best may be a part made by the same manufacturer that made the original part. Some parts labeled Best bear the seal of the Certified Automotive Parts Association (CAPA), an independent, non-profit organization that oversees a testing program to guarantee the quality of automotive parts. CAPA certified replacement parts meet the industry's toughest standards. But regardless of how the part is labeled, have confidence that whichever one you choose, it will appear and function to your satisfaction.

I have found that the miracle whip makes a big difference for our family to like it. Oh...a secret ingredient I add is a teaspoon or 2 of sugar. Don't tell on me. You can't taste the sugar it just gives it a different twist.

Reviews of this property
The hotel was really beautiful, the hosts incredibly friendly and helpful. Super is also the proximity to the metro. We will definitely go again
Die Unterkunft war wirklich wunderschön, die Gastgeber unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Super ist auch die Nähe zur Metro. Wir kommen sicher wieder
Room comfortable, clean, very good location - close to the metro station, which facilitated visiting the city. The owner helpful, contact. The only thing about which I have reservations, the noise from the street - mind at night.
Pokój wygodny, czysty, lokalizacja bardzo dobra - blisko stacji metra, co ułatwiało zwiedzanie miasta. Właścicielka pomocna, kontaktowa. Jedyna rzecz, co do której mam zastrzeżenia, to hałas od ulicy - przeszkadza w nocy.
One word Super!
A great home, they took us to the metro stop and explanations of key and apartment. We were advising places to visit. super friendly hosts, listening, like a family.
The room complies with pictures. Top
Un seul mot Super!
Un accueil génial, on nous a pris à l'arrêt de métro puis les explications des clés et de l'appart. On nous a conseiller des endroits à visiter. des hôtes supers sympas, à l'écoute, comme dans une famille.
La chambre conforme aux photos. Top
our vacation in Rome was great thanks to Mariana. The apartment was as described and we also had "neighbors". This was no problem for us, we have shared many experiences.
mariana deserves praise! she has transportation to app. and back to the airport for us and so there was little time left for Rome.
Her friend George thanks too!
The wine and cantuccini as extra attention and the coffee and the interest in each other made it for us. Fine verblijf.Groeten of Zeeland twins.
onze vakantie in Rome was geweldig mede door Mariana . Het appartement is zoals beschreven en ook hadden we "buren". dit was voor ons geen probleem, we hebben veel ervaringen uitgewisseld.
mariana verdient een pluim! zij heeft het vervoer naar app. en terug naar het vliegveld geregeld voor ons en zodoende bleef er veel tijd over voor Rome.
Haar vriend George ook bedankt!
De wijn en cantuccini als extra attentie en de koffie en de interesse in elkaar maakte het voor ons af. Prima verblijf.Groeten van de zeeuwse tweeling.
Good accommodation near the metro. Clean, with a kitchen and a bathroom shared with a host and owner (a little sticky but not unpleasant).
Rome is great, but that we suspected.
P. and AV
Bon logement près du métro. Propre, avec une cuisine et une salle de bain partagées avec une hôte et la propriétaire (un peu collante mais pas désagréable).
Rome est grandiose, mais ça, on s'en doutait.
P. et AV
Very nice hosts, friendly and helpful!
Clean room as decribed, fast internet.
Easy to reach with Metro Line B within 15-20 Min from downtown Roma.
Bathroom and kitchen to be shared with other guests (if any) and Natalia.
We had a wonderful holiday in this place. Just 3-5 minutes walk to the Metro Station and then the ride into town. Also a way to meet people and get a feel of Rome.
We loved the hospitality and willingness to help wherever possible.
Only downside for me was the traffic on the road nearby, Rome almost never stills and coming from a quiet area that was a bit difficult.
Everything else just fine!
In itself, the stay was good. Everything was clean. We did not expect that with the lady of the house had to share the kitchen and bathroom (thought the other guests only). Proximity to Metro is very nice.
However, when we were forced to go through, in the apartment fell against 1.5 days (my wife broke her ankle). Then you have little more than a bed to sit on, no claim (the owner speaks Italian only).
Welcome was good because Natalia spoke good English. The promised bottle of wine we have not seen.
Be nice that transport could be under these circumstances. Arranged to the airport from the apartment
In itself so good stay, if you only need to sleep.
Op zich was het verblijf goed. Alles was schoon. We verwachtten niet dat we de keuken en badkamer met de vrouw des huizes moesten delen (dachten alleen de andere gasten). Nabijheid van metro is heel prettig.
Echter: toen we noodgedwongen 1,5 dag in het appartement moesten doornemen, viel dat tegen (mijn vrouw brak haar enkel). Dan heb je weinig meer dan een bed om op te zitten, geen aanspraak (de eigenaresse spreekt alleen Italiaans).
Welkom was goed doordat Natalia goed Engels sprak. De beloofde fles wijn hebben we niet gezien.
Wel prettig dat vervoer vanuit het appartement naar het vliegveld geregeld kon worden onder deze omstandigheden.
Op zich dus goed verblijf, mits je er alleen hoeft te slapen.
The apartment itself was comfortable, although as mentioned by other reviewers the bathroom needs refurbishing, but it was adequate. Natalia was very friendly and helpful and I was able to practice my Italian with her. The apartment was well placed for the metro and the supermarkets within very easy walking distance. As I arrived late to the apartment I was surprised there was nothing available to eat. I think having a few basics, like bread, milk and perhaps some cold meats or cheese should be standard. As it was dark and I didn't know the area I was reluctant to venture out to find somewhere to eat, even the supermarkets were closed. As I was in my own, again I was reluctant to go out in the evening. It is easy to use the metro to go into the centre of Rome, but personally I found it a bit tedious every day, almost like commuting to work. I think my next visit to Rome would be somewhere nearer the centre. All in all it was an experience, because It is the first time I have spent more than one day in Rome on my own.
Everything was great! Clean nice apartment and a nice host! The subway was right near ;)
Alles super! Saubere schöne Wohnung und ein netter Gastgeber! Die U-Bahn war auch gleich in der nähe ;)
