Reviews of this property
We had a lovely stay with our 3&5-years old daughters (play ground is just around the corner). The apartament is nice and cosy, with comfortable livingroom. It is very close to the metro station and walking distance from Sagrada Familia and Park Guell. Owner was very helpful.
The apartment was exactly like the pictures in a nice neighborhood and convenient to the metro and buses. It equipped with everything you may need during a short holiday. The spacious layout and everything working perfectly. I would have preferred an open balcony but overall very good! The owner was quick and available in every response is his collaborator very kind and thorough.
L'appartamento era esattamente come nelle foto in un quartiere carino e comodo alla metro e ai bus. Dotato di tutto quello che può servire durante una piccola vacanza . Gli spazi ben organizzati e tutto perfettamente funzionante. Avrei forse preferito un balcone aperto ma nel complesso ottimo! Il proprietario è stato veloce e disponibile in ogni sua risposta è la sua collaboratrice molto gentile ed esaustiva.
Me and my friends we spent 5 nights in this apartment. We agreed via email check in with Fernando, anticipating it at 11. Once you arrive we would have to call Cynthia, what we have done. He has informed us that one of his colleagues would have waited to 11 the house. The apartment has no lift, is located on the third floor and the stairs are quite narrow. If you have large suitcases could be a problem. Fortunately we were traveling with only hand luggage. Once you enter the house we realized that had not been cleaned but on our return in the evening was in perfect condition, just like the pictures.
The apartment is located in a quiet, silent but will face a rather strenuous climb to reach the building. There are several supermarkets run by Pakistanis that stay open until midnight, very useful to buy anything you may need. The apartment is quite well served by the metro: in fact there are two stops close enough.
The house itself is well maintained. For three to four people it is ideal. The kitchen is well equipped, the rooms are quite spacious, the living room is great. The only downside is the bathroom is a bit 'small and hot missing the curtain so be careful not to flood everywhere while you shower.
In general, however, I and my friends we are satisfied with our stay.
Io e le mie amiche abbiamo passato 5 notti in questo appartamento. Abbiamo concordato via mail il check in con Fernando, anticipandolo alle 11. Una volta arrivate avremmo dovuto chiamare Cynthia, cosa che abbiamo fatto. Ci ha comunicato che un suo collega ci avrebbe aspettato alle 11 sotto casa. L'appartamento non ha l'ascensore, si trova al terzo piano e le scale sono parecchio strette. Se avete valigie grandi potrebbe essere un problema. Fortunatamente noi viaggiavamo solo con il bagaglio a mano. Una volta entrate in casa ci siamo rese conto che non era stata ancora pulita ma al nostro rientro a fine giornata era in perfette condizioni, proprio come appare nelle foto.
L'appartamento si trova in una zona tranquilla, silenziosa ma dovrete affrontare una salita piuttosto faticosa per raggiungere l'edificio. Ci sono diversi supermercati gestiti da pakistani che rimangono aperti fino a mezzanotte, molto utili per acquistare qualsiasi cosa di cui abbiate bisogno. L'appartamento è servito abbastanza bene dalla metro: infatti ci sono due fermate abbastanza vicine.
La casa in sé è ben tenuta. Per tre-quattro persone è ideale. La cucina è ben attrezzata, le camere sono abbastanza spaziose, il salotto è grande. L'unica pecca è il bagno: è un po' piccolo e nella vasca manca la tenda quindi attenzione a non allagare ovunque mentre fate la doccia.
In generale, comunque, io e le mie amiche siamo soddisfatte del nostro soggiorno.
So on the whole, the hotel has really liked me. The apartment had everything your heart desires, and was described in a quiet location.
The communication with Cynthia was very straightforward and minor problems were quickly eliminated to our satisfaction. The only small problem was that we had the first 4 days of the holiday no Wi-Fi. After that, however Cynthia informed rushed, the problem was quickly eliminated.
All in all I would book this apartment again and am very satisfied.
Many thanks for everything !! And Barcelona is simply a great city !!!!
Also im großen und ganzen hat mir die Unterkunft sehr gut gefallen. Die Wohnung hatte alles was das Herz begehrt und war wie beschrieben in ruhiger Lage.
Auch die Kommunikation mit Cynthia war sehr unkompliziert und kleinere Probleme wurden zügig zu unserer Zufriedenheit beseitigt. Das einzige kleine Problem war dass wir die ersten 4 Tage des Urlaubs kein W-Lan hatten. Nachdem wir dass aber Cynthia mitteilten, war das Problem schnell beseitigt.
Alles in allem würde ich diese Wohnung nochmal buchen und bin sehr zufrieden.
Vielen Dank für Alles!! Und Barcelona ist einfach eine tolle Stadt!!!!
Apartment very nice and cozy. Perfect for couples or 3 people max. It is a very spacious and equipped flat. Very quiet and 5 minutes from metro, very accessible to downtown. The wifi works perfectly.

The apartment is a bit off the city center but easily accessible by subway.
Unfortunately, the towels are not in the best condition in the apartment.

Firefighters, police patrol for fireworks in Colorado Springs
Holiday effort enforces ban on personal use
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The effort by Colorado Springs authorities to prevent fires by enforcing the city's ban on personal fireworks use apparently was successful Thursday.
Authorities reported few problems Independence Day evening while firefighters patrolled areas of the city west of Interstate 25 where the fire danger is highest.
Five brush trucks, each with two fire firefighters, patrolled between 5 p.m. and midnight. Their job was to be ready to put out any fire started by fireworks, and to watch for anyone violating the city's ban.
Firefighter Brad Starling said crews were authorized to seize the fireworks of anyone violating the ban, although such action is rarely necessary.
"All we ask is that they hand over their fireworks so that we don't have to worry about additional fires getting started in these dry conditions," said Starling.
A KRDO NewsChannel 13 crew rode with Starling's crew. The crew investigated several reports of illegal fireworks. Most were uneventful.
Police officers patrolled the rest of the city, ready to issue a court summons to people caught violating the ban. The minimum penalty for violations is a $500 fine and 90 days in jail.
"If a fire is started (by fireworks), that will be considered an act of arson," said Brett Lacey, the city's fire marshal. "Whatever penalties are deemed appropriate (from) that will be imposed as well."
Lacey said the number of fires started by fireworks has declined in recent years because of increased preparation by authorities and a greater public awareness of fire danger in light of the Waldo Canyon and Black Forest wildfires.
The city also had fire inspectors at each of the four public fireworks shows Thursday. Fire resources were available at each location in case they were needed.
The Garden of the Gods Club in the Kissing Camels subdivision took the extra precautions of moving its annual show to a safer area and soaking the area with water. Yet some residents remained upset that the show wasn't cancelled.
"A few people said we were a little insensitive," said Erik Pedersen, a club spokesman. "They said they couldn't enjoy the Fourth of July because they had to worry about another fire, or their house. Maybe they don't know about the precautions we take. Most people do."
Police received 133 fireworks complaints between 8 p.m. and midnight Thursday. The number of citations issued was unavailable as of Friday morning. The fire department has yet to release figures from its patrols.
In a related matter, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office (which also has a fireworks ban) responded to 58 fireworks complaints between 3 p.m. and midnight Thursday. The number of citations issued was unavailable as of Friday morning.
The fireworks patrols will continue Friday and Saturday. To report an illegal use of fireworks in Colorado Springs, call (719) 444-7000. In El Paso County, call (719) 390-5555.

An even more oddball generational cross is the fact that I recently found out that my almost-72-year-old dad has a 16 year old 1st cousin. Yep, this kid's father was born in 1920, and was my paternal grandmother's youngest sibling. If you go by family tree, he's in my dad's generation, but by the generation definitions, he's a Generation Y.

The principle that describes that the design of a logo must be fully comprehensible, in the same manner, when translated from black & white to color. The principle was developed in the 21st century by Brooke Kocian, an avid designer and artist.
That logo doesn't follow the Kocian Principle, because there are two different messages presented I see the black & white versus the color version.

Rush Limbaugh, pink cheeked and increasingly porcine, has emerged as the de-facto head of the Republican Party.
Just over eight years ago, the GOP made history by capturing the White House with less votes than the Democrats. That the party is now being helmed by Limbaugh, a multi-millionaire radio entertainer elected by nobody, seems directionally correct: authority without legitimacy superseded by influence without responsibility.
The Republicans — or, at least, their National Committee — have an official chief: Michael Steele, who seems a likeable guy. He combines the charisma of Bobby Jindal, Louisiana's Republican governor, with the polish of Roland Burris, Illinois's newest Democratic senator. Yet while he has both legitimacy and responsibility, he has no sway, no swagger, no star quality.
In a political landscape defined by President Barack Obama, political leaders need wattage, reach, and frequency. Limbaugh has all three — to the tune of an estimated 14 million listeners.
With more than 69 million votes, Obama's audience trumps Limbaugh's. And with opinion polls showing that Obama enjoys widespread respect and support even among those who are skeptical of his policies, there is no doubt that the president is the man of the political moment.
But Limbaugh's legions — his "Ditto Heads" — love him for who he is not.
As the anti-Obama, Limbaugh is straight out of Central Casting. He aims to harness Darth Vader's dark side of the force, to channel Voldemort's dark arts, to rescue the powerful but morally compromising ring that Frodo vowed to destroy.
Like Satan in the more high-brow Paradise Lost, who would rather reign in Hell than serve in Heaven, Limbaugh has said he would elect to see Obama fail, and by extension watch as the world falls into complete economic chaos. The depth of Limbaugh's negativity is awe inspiring, the breadth of his arrogance almost frightening.
The saving grace is that Limbaugh is essentially a hot-air artist. But even in the 21st century, hot air can propel.
Just as Republican policies have impoverished the nation, so have Republican ideas perverted political debate. Limbaugh works hard to maintain an orthodoxy so strict it would be the envy of any monarch or dictator. Flying under the banner of free speech, he seeks to kill the free exchange of ideas. Go figure. Nobody ever said that democracy was a tidy proposition.
What's wild about all of this is that the empty suits like Mitt Romney, the focus-less strivers like Sarah Palin, the Bible thumpers like Mike Huckabee — in other words, the best and brightest of Republican presidential politics — need Limbaugh and his spawn (Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter) more than the talk masters need them. The quintet of Republican radio is, in the end, all about audience and ratings. The politicians need that audience to jump-start their presidential campaigns.
Some thoughtful conservatives have recently begun to worry about the pernicious effect that right-wing entertainment has had on this generation of viable conservative ideas. A prime example is the cover story in the latest issue of the American Conservative, a small but intellectually freewheeling magazine. In it, John Derbyshire, a conservative's conservative if ever their was one, explains in detail "How Radio Wrecks the Right."

text: My wife snagged this book at Half-Price books and I have greatly enjoyed it. I got it too late to put out nest blocks, but given that I have a strict "No killing the mason bees" rule and that I have hundreds in the siding of my house, I'll probably be ok to catch some more next year. The author, while obviously a fan of Mason bees, is quite clear on where Mason bees excel and where Honeybees win on sheer numbers. While he does sell nesting blocks & such the book is repleat with simple statements that there's no need to buy - you can build something they'll use just as well. Covers a number of relatives of the mason bee as well. Next year I'm going to hang out a bee block and acquire some masons.

Jim Foreman
Director of Circulation and Analytics
Boosting profits, loyalty through better marketing
Staples uses marketing automation to execute more targeted campaigns
With $27 billion in sales, Staples serves businesses of all sizes and consumers in 27 countries throughout North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. Staples invented the office superstore concept in 1986 to make shopping for office supplies easier for consumers.
Over the years, Staples discovered that the best way to grow and build loyalty is to target customers with offers that interest them. To do that, Staples relies on SAS® Analytics for predictive modeling and insights, and SAS® Marketing Automation for fine-tuned marketing campaigns.
"Customers are interested in faster and more efficient ways of ordering from us – they want the information at their fingertips to inform their buying decisions," says Jim Foreman, Director of Circulation and Analytics at Staples. "There's a substantial part of the retail customer base that engages us online and uses the website not as their primary means of shopping, but to research a product. They might use it to find the closest store or quickly see what's currently on sale. That's all relevant to the retail side of the house. My team is involved in the analysis of online and offline customer behavior, building linkages between the two to give us a complete picture of the customer."
"It was evident that as we got more advanced with analytics, we needed to better translate the insight into profit-generating campaigns," says Foreman. "One of the biggest things that SAS Marketing Automation did for us was to help bridge the great work we were doing on the analytics side with the campaign generation and execution side. We can now go to market very quickly and easily, based on insight, and realize significant benefits."
Staples executes nearly 1,500 multichannel campaigns annually based on 25 million customer records. "We did a financial analysis of the implementation, and we found that we were getting an internal rate of return of 137 percent," explains Foreman. "That's about as much of a slam dunk as you're going to see."

Jim Foreman
Another area in which the SAS® solution provides value is reducing customer attrition. Staples can quickly identify when spending for regular customers drops and send personalized offers to bring them back. Before choosing SAS, the company's marketing tool didn't have the level of sophistication that Staples needed to do this.
"We have several models that attempt to predict customer attrition," says Foreman. "These models allow us to look at an individual customer's purchase history and model that customer's buying pattern. We score customer models frequently enough to know that if a certain amount of time goes by between a customer's purchases, a flag is raised identifying the risk of attrition. There may be a hundred reasons why, but if there is an issue, our insight allows us to take action proactively before that customer switches to another provider and builds loyalty elsewhere.
"Our data is one of the most valuable assets we have. Given the company's investment in data acquisition and storage, you want to be able to mine it effectively and discover nuggets that can generate incremental sales and profit. It's a shame when you do all the work and you can't produce actionable results because your existing tools can't facilitate the transition from an analysis to a campaign. SAS Marketing Automation does that for us."
Fewer Contractors, More Savings
SAS has improved efficiency, Foreman says. And he relies on fewer contractors to execute campaigns. "Without doing any new campaigns, or generating any additional revenue, the cost savings from optimizing our execution process alone would have paid for the cost of the solution within two years. We couldn't be happier with it.
"Associates both on my team, as well as elsewhere in the company, have been using analytics from SAS for a long time," continues Foreman. "As well as their skills, we can leverage their code and bring it seamlessly into the campaign solution. Reuse of completed work provides real efficiency gains.
"SAS Marketing Automation was the right choice for Staples because of the integration capabilities. It was very important for us to score models within the campaign tool itself. We don't want to have additional processes to score models externally, which would necessitate the need to import and translate scores back into the campaigns. The SAS solution lets us bring models, as well as other non-modeled segments, directly into our campaign diagram, and it just executes as part of the campaign. There's no data back and forth. The efficiency is really unparalleled."

An epidural abscess is a collection of pus (infected material) between the outer covering of the brain and spinal cord and the bones of the skull or spine. The abscess causes swelling in the area.
Abscess - epidural; Spinal abscess
Epidural abscess is a rare disorder caused by infection in the area between the bones of the skull or spine, and the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord (meninges). This infection is called an intracranial epidural abscess if it is inside the skull area, or a spinal epidural abscess if it is found in the spine area. Most are located in the spine.
The spinal infection is usually caused by bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus is most common), but may be caused by fungus. It can be due to other infections in the body (especially a urinary tract infection), or germs that spread through the blood. However, in some patients, no other source of infection is found.
An intracranial epidural abscess (within the skull). Risk factors include:
A spinal epidural abscess may be seen in patients with:
People who inject drugs are also at increased risk.
Spinal epidural abscess:
Intracranial epidural abscess:
Neurological symptoms depend on the location of the abscess and may include:
The health care provider will perform an exam to look for a loss of functions such as movement or sensation.
Tests may include:
The goal of treatment is to cure the infection and reduce the risk of permanent damage. Treatment usually includes antibiotics and surgery. In rare cases, antibiotics alone are used.
Antibiotics are usually given through a vein (IV) for at least 4 - 6 weeks. However, some people may need to take them for a longer time, depending on the type of bacteria and severity of the disease.
Surgery is usually needed to drain or remove the abscess. In addition, surgery is often needed to reduce pressure on the spinal cord or brain, to prevent further loss of function.
Early diagnosis and treatment greatly improve the chance of a good outcome. Once weakness, paralysis, or sensation changes occur, the chances of recovering lost function are reduced. Permanent nervous system damage or death may occur.
Call your health care provider if you have:
An epidural abscess is a medical emergency.
Treatment of certain infections, such as ear infections, sinusitis, and bloodstream infections, may decrease the risk of an epidural abscess. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications.

Thousands arrive for free care at RAM
WISE, Va. - Thousands of people are enduring scorching heat and long lines in hopes of receiving free medical care. The annual Wise, Virginia Remote Area Medical event is set up and offering free care throughout the weekend.
This is the moment some people in this line have camped out and waited all year for -- when the gates to the annual Remote Area Medical event in Wise.
Now in its fifteenth year, RAM will attract more than 3,000 people from several states.
Founder Stan Brock told us more about the event. "I'm afraid its the same 3,000 or so folks that come here every year. In other words, the RAM event there at the fairgrounds has become their single source of healthcare for the year," he said.
For two and a half days the fairgrounds turns into a mobile and all-encompassing medical center staffed by volunteer doctors, dentists, nurses, and technicians offering free care.
William Mays is one of the attendees receiving care. "This is huge for me, because healthcare, vision and dental is somewhat unaffordable," he said.
Organizers say the number of people desperate to receive healthcare is growing after major layoffs in the coal industry.
Doctors like Ross Isaacs say they see several of the same diseases, including "asthma, lung disease, black lung disease, a lot of back pain, a lot of people who were bent over in a mine and bent over in a shop."
But the health screenings are also certain to identify several life-threatening diseases. Officials say doctors will diagnose several forms of cancer.
The care does not stop with this event. Follow-up for many of these patients comes through the local group Health Wagon. "This is a 'band-aid clinic'. There is an organiztion here, the Health Wagon, they are the ones that stitch the band-aids together," Dr. Isaacs said. "They are the safety net."
But the need expands beyond our corner of the world according to Stan Brock. "This is not just a problem for this region," he said. "We could stick a pin in the map and we are going have large crowds anywhere we go."
The RAM clinic runs through Sunday morning and patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis.
Organizers with the Health Wagon say one of their biggest challenges is finding enough practitioners licensed in the state of Virginia to agree to work the event, especially those with more specialized medical training.

Why This Book?
The goal of the One Book, One Campus program is to encourage critical thought and discussion among members of the IU South Bend Community. With this goal in mind, the committee solicited suggestions from the campus, and narrowed the list down to five titles. Criteria for the final five were--the book be one which would challenge and inspire, be in print and reasonably priced, and have a wide crossover appeal, something which could be discussed in a variety of classes. A campus vote was held, and On the Origin of Species was the winner.
For related books of interest, please see the other works of interest page.
If anyone is interested in leading book discussions on this year's title, please contact Julie Elliott at 520-4410 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Preseason riders take advantage of fresh snow
BOZEMAN, Mont. - The lifts haven't moved in months and Bridger Bowl Ski Area's not set to open for several more weeks, but that's not keeping a number of preseason go-getters from tackling the slopes.
Bozeman local Caleb McDonald wasn't expecting to be here today.
"I went to sleep at probably 10:30 last night and saw it wasn't snowing so, I wasn't too hopeful," says McDonald.
This morning was a welcomed surprise. McDonald called his friends Julian Holland and Will Hensleigh to hit the slopes.
"This is going to be day four for me so, any turns you can get this early are pretty precious," says Holland.
Yet, they say preseason conditions can be tough.
"Sometimes you find the grass or the rocks underneath the snow, skiing on the ground but as long as you don't open it up and take nice, easy slow turns, you'll be alright," says McDonald.
They say they're playing it safe and not taking any chances.
"You're not going to be charging it too hard. It's not a day to be a hero out there," says Holland.
Will Hensleigh agrees.
"Wear your safety gear. I got my transceiver. Always bring a transceiver and a shovel," says Hensleigh.
We caught up with some folks on their way down to find out about conditions towards the top. One rider we talked to skiied Pierre's Knob.
"It was pretty good. It's like a little rocky in spots but, for the most part, not bad. There's a lot of people up here, though. I like to see that," says Bozeman skiier Cooper Raasch.
Go-getters like these hope it's a sign of what's to come.
Folks with Bridger Bowl say if there's a ton of snow towards the end of the month, it's possible they'll open up on weekends only.
Otherwise, they're set to open Friday, December 7th.

I know some people aren't excited about ladies, but I just got chills reading all the speculating in this thread. Granted it will take a miracle for an Olympic podium finish..the closeness of the level makes it very exciting for me.
There are 3 that I really want to go to the Olympics, even though there are only 2 spots, so I'm torn. I've been a fan of Sasha's for years so I'm hoping she is close to where she was before BUT you never know. She should kick out a great SP, so I'm hoping she keeps it together for the long.
I'm also a huge fan of Mirai. She has soo much talent & I hope she has faith in herself. I'm also hoping the URs don't get her. I miss seeing her at the rink since I moved to Vegas. She is a great skater & such a sweet person, I wish nothing but the best for her.
I'm a fan of Alissa as well, but you never know what you are going to get. I've been heartbroken for her soo many times. Knowing that this is probably her last shot at the Olympics, I'd really like for her to get the experience & who knows she may have a "Paul Wylie moment" while she's there.
I've been a fan of Caroline's for awhile, but this year she has been steadily sliding. I hope she can regroup & work on her problems so she can come back strong next year. As I think she really won't have a chance fir this year. But there's always Sochi.
I wish Bebe had lived up to her potential that she had shown soo many years ago. I really like her and hope for mistake free programs for her.
Although I'm not a fan of her skating, Rachel is really consistant & probably has one of the best chances to make the Olympic team. I just wish she was as exciting as she is consistant & smart.
Ashley is another that has a good chance to go if she doesn't get dinged for her URs. I think going to the GPF is giving her momentum heading into Nationals.
Ooh I have to run, my plane is here

Belk Library and Information Commons - 2nd floor rotunda
Free and open to the public
Art Department Faculty member IlaSahai Prouty is determined to expand the dialog about race and stereotypes on campus. Her new installation, Paper Bag Test - Boone is designed to present race as a social construct and to engage students, faculty, staff and the community about how we use words to describe, imply and evaluate race.
The paper bag test is said to have been used to evaluate who might be admitted into certain African-American clubs, organizations and parties. People darker than a paper bag were welcome while those lighter were directed to others.
"I remember thinking, 'Which paper bag did they use?' when I first heard about the test," recalls Prouty. "I wanted to belong, but I knew that, regardless of which bag was used, there would always be a certain mismatch, and plenty of labels, names and false categories to go around."
As a bi-racial woman, Prouty lives with the question of how race is constructed in our culture. Her recent work is driven by the themes of identity, power, repetition and dreaming. Paper Bag Test - Boone, on display through March in the Belk Library and Information Commons second floor rotunda, consists of 22 paper bags coated in various colors and stamped with a label. Visitors are invited to add comments to the bags and post selfies on Instagram under #paperbagtest.
Prouty writes, "My goals with this piece are to engage people in thinking about how we use words to describe, imply and evaluate race, to ask them to reflect on how they see their own skin tone and the skin tones of others, and to present race as a social, as opposed to scientific, construction.
"This piece attempts to develop a complex dialog about skin tone and stereotypes in contrast with what is often a shallow and reductive conversation in our culture. Hopefully, it also offers the possibility of reclaiming and redefining the language we use to construct the categories of race."
At the close of the exhibit, the story and photo gallery will live on diversity.appstate.edu. A version of the piece will go to the Artfields festival April 22-30 in Lake City, South Carolina, and at the Visual Art Exchange this September in Raleigh. The piece has already been hosted at Greensboro College, High Point University, ETSU, and The Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. In the future, Prouty will create a book using the comments and selfies provided by participants from many locations.
And you thought the 4th floor was a climb...
Did you know you can climb Mt. Everest in approximately 8 hours? The newest exhibit in Special Collections features hand-drawn maps, printed guides, and newspaper clippings relating to mountain climbing. Many of the items being showcased are part of the Ralph Fickel Papers and the Ralph Fickel Memorial Collection. Fickel was a rock and ice climber who attended Appalachian State University and later became a guide to climbers whose abilities ranged from novice to more advanced.
The exhibit, installed by sophomore Exercise Science major Ashton Schoen, is located inside Special Collections and is on display through the end of the semester during the department's open hours. Special thanks to Special Collections' Reading Room Manager Dean Williams for his help with the exhibit.
Feel free to research the Special Collections' materials related to rock climbing and mountaineering by contacting or visiting the Dougherty Reading Room, which is located next to the exhibit case.
Questions? Please contact the Dougherty Reading Room by phone 828-262-7974 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
How are we doing? The Library would like to gauge your general impression of our services and resources. We'd love to hear your opinions and perspectives on our strengths and areas of opportunity.

No roads lead to Barrow, Alaska. To reach America's northernmost city (pop. 4,500), you must fly or, sea ice permitting, take a ship. Barrow's residents use cars or four-wheel-drive ATVs in town and have been known to hunt caribou on snowmobiles, even in summer. The treads leave dark trails in the tundra, the blanket of spongy brown and green vegetation that stretches south for hundreds of miles. I was coming in on a U.S. Coast Guard C-130 transport plane. Looking down through a small window I saw a triangular-shaped town hugging the edge of the continent at the junction of the Chukchi and Beaufort seas. It was August, and the ocean looked as black as anthracite.
From This Story
Related Content
The city's small wooden homes were built on pilings to keep them from melting the permafrost, which would cause them to sink. I saw jumbles of vehicles, fish-drying racks and small boats in front yards. The roads looked muddy. I saw a large supermarket and a new hospital going up near some office buildings. To the north, along a coast road, I spotted Quonset huts marking my destination—a repurposed World War II-era U.S. Navy base. Concerns about climate change have turned a drizzle of visiting scientists into a flood; I've visited Barrow when scientists filled every bed on the former base, bunked ten to a room in a dilapidated house in town and slept in cots laid out in rows in the community center.
I had come to Barrow to learn about ice and climate change from Eskimo elders and hunters and from scientists. For two weeks I'd been visiting northern Alaska coastal villages as a guest of the Coast Guard, and what I'd heard was disturbing. Each year the sea ice was getting thinner and arriving later. Coastal storms have become so dangerous that some villages—lacking the shore ice that used to protect them—will have to be moved miles inland. In one village I watched the Army Corps of Engineers build rock walls to shield against fierce waves. Fish species from warmer waters were showing up in fishing nets. Insects that no one recalled seeing before—such as spruce bark beetles, which kill trees—were falling from the sky. There was a proliferation of flies that make caribou sick.
Inland, elders told me, tundra lakes were disappearing, and with them drinking water and nesting grounds for millions of migrating birds. River banks—without enough ice to shore them up—were eroding, filling the waterways with silt. When hunters went out after moose, their boats increasingly ran aground in flats.
"It's harder to find food," I heard again and again.
After the C-130 landed, Donald "Nok" Acker of the Barrow Arctic Science Consortium (BASC), a nonprofit research support organization founded by Inupiat Eskimos, picked me up in his mud-spattered Ford truck. I stowed my gear in a dormitory for scientists, and Acker drove me to see Edward Itta, the mayor of North Slope Borough, the largest county (the size of Wyoming) in the United States. Itta is an Inupiat whaling captain as well as a politician who deals with members of Congress, White House officials and military authorities who travel to Barrow for much the same reason I did. His office is in a modern, airy two-story building with new computers and a natural gas heating system, paid for, he told me, by tax revenues from oil fields at Prudhoe Bay. Oil companies there contribute some $250 million a year to the North Slope Borough.
"Barrow is ground zero for climate-change science," Itta said. "We worry that climate change is shrinking the sea ice and we don't know how that will affect the animals that depend on it. At this time there is no effective plan if a catastrophe such as a ship collision or oil spill occurs. The Coast Guard hasn't decided what its presence will be in the Arctic. Someone needs to monitor new traffic as the ice recedes and when tourist ships come through the Northwest Passage, which is already happening."
The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, according to a 2004 Arctic Climate Impact Assessment report, the most recent available. Summer sea ice in the region shrank by nearly 40 percent between 1978 and 2007. Winter temperatures have been several degrees Fahrenheit warmer than they were a few decades ago. Trees have spread into the tundra. In 2008, a wildfire broke out in an area north of the Brooks Range, where the local dialect had no word for forest fire.
Even officials who question the source of the warming are concerned. "I'm agnostic as to the causes," Coast Guard Commandant Thad Allen told me. "All I know is there is water where there was once ice." And where there is water, "we are responsible for it."
One major consequence is that a new Arctic shipping route around the top of Alaska is expected to open in the next few years, or decades, cutting thousands of miles off trips between Asia and Europe and Asia and the Eastern United States. The fabled Northwest Passage, from Baffin Bay in Eastern Canada to the Pacific Ocean, was frozen for centuries, and attempts to navigate it cost hundreds of European explorers their lives.

As far as a quick detailer, Lucas Slickmist Fast & Easy Speedwax is the best that I have ever tried.
As far as a quick detailer, Lucas Slickmist Fast & Easy Speedwax is the best that I have ever tried.
I think that's whats on the label.
Here are the results. SOrry not on the Caddy as I really haven't taken spot on pictures like this with it. But it's on my show quality GTO, that I also have had my body shop do the 3,000 grit wetsanding process to remove most of the factory "orange peel" in the clearcoat. At the end of the day though, there is NO magical, topical solution that will fix what was laid from the factory. Doesn't matter what Sal Zaino tells you, Mother's tells you, Meguiars, or 3M. It's only as good as to how it's laid in the factory's assembyline priming, paint, and clearcoating process! Zaino NOR 3M will fix issues like that! The best results with ANY of the aformentioned brands come with hard work using that product, not some mystical smelling compound in a bottle itself.
There are as many "detail" products on the market as there are engine snake oils, but CMNTMXR57 is exactly correct in stating that the finish on the car is the starting point.
Get into www.autogeek.net, read and watch some of their videos, and spend the $6 for their detailing CD.
I have been with them for 6 years and have never been disappointed with their line - they carry about every brand on earth - and their shipping is quick.
This is after wash, clay bar, wash, fine swirl orbital polish and Pinnacle Souveran carnauba wax/microfiber towels. My poor back.
Just used the surf city garage liquid clay, nano glaze and barrier reef Caranuba.....Great stuff and at my wally world its all on clearance. My 04 cts with redline paint looks awesome
Been using Zaino for 20 years and selling it for 15 years, before that we were the largest end user of Meguiar's products at our 36 shops, Meguiar's makes good products, but nothing lasts longer than Zaino on cars and boats, ask Viking Yachts. There are many good products that will make your car/truck look good, but when you own Escalade's you don't want to have to "wax" every month or two.
Yeah i'll double that, there are PLENTY of products that last longer than Zaino.
Again, Zaino makes top notch products, but the internet has made WAAAAAAY too much out of the brand. It is possible to do better, sometimes cheaper too.

Familiar turf: Bend back in clutches of growth debate
Critics want focus on better growth - not just more
BEND, Ore. - Bend city planners are once again debating what type of growth will be best for Bend. One thing both sides agree on is because of the amenities Bend has to offer, people will continue to move here.
By 2028, Bend's population could have 115,000 people, and with a new four-year university on the horizon, city Senior Planner Damian Syrnyk envisions a much different community in the near future.
"I see a much larger city, but a more metropolitan city," Syrnyk said, "One that offers more diverse options and opportunities for folks."
How will the city accommodate the growth? As the amount of buildable land within the city's current urban growth boundary shrinks, city councilors are debating the need to grow "up" downtown -- whether taller buildings near the river should be allowed.
"Because you can only go out so far, you're automatically constraining land, which is driving it up," said Andy High of the Central Oregon's Builders Association.
There are roughly 3,000 buildable lots in Bend, while 80 percent of the land in Deschutes County is publicly owned.
One of the problems for Bend: how to expand with a law forbidding building structures taller than 70 feet?
High said for Bend to prosper, it must grow within the limited space of the UGB.
"We have to continue to grow and continue to focus on bringing diversity to our economy," High said.
Central Oregon LandWatch Executive Director Paul Dewey said he doesn't want the city to focus too much on the future and forget about the wallets of those here now, because growth costs everyone money. Take the $31 million water treatment project starting next month, which will push rates up.
"We need to consider what the people of bend can afford to pay," Dewey said. "Not overextend our infrastructure so much that it really impacts the people who live here now."
Right now, the city is again evaluating the current UGB to accommodate the inevitable population increase -- a requirement of state land-use law, to provide for a 20-year supply of residential, commercial and industrial land.
And so, the city is examining "our need for land over the next 20 years, making sure it provides for our needs for housing, employment, schools and parks," Syrnyk said.
Dewey, though, still believes we need to be patient and focus on quality, not quantity.
"People are thinking like they were two years ago of 'more more more,' instead of 'better better better,'" Dewey said.
High recognizes the city's amenities attract people who want to get away from cluttered skylines.
"They want to walk out into their backyard and sit down and have a glass of wine or beer, and not have to go out on a balcony with 15 other people up or below you," High said.
High also said it's up to the city to capitalize on the growth, and make sure the demand doesn't outweigh the supply, which would make Bend less affordable.
"Where else can you ski in the morning, golf in the afternoon and ride your bike in the evening?" High said. "There's not a lot of places you can do that, and so we're going to continue to attract (newcomers)."

Reviews of this property
I have really enjoyed the days i spent in lisbon and one of the reasons is the place i rented... from the flat you can go walking to a lot of places and you have everything you need there... i didnt met richard but he answeed all my questions very fast using this web... if i ever travel back to lisbon and im sure i will i would try to stay in the same place... so thank you richard for being a part of my trip and thank you for beong so nice with me
We spend 4 comfortable nights at Richards appartment. Although we never met him, communication was fast and easy.
+ great flat for a couple of 2 people (more would be too many in my eyes)
+ very central (within walking distance to cais do sodre)
+ good price/value
+ well-equipped kitchen (no oven though)
+ 2 electric heaters help during cold season
+ cosy and warm athmosphere
+ wifi works well
+ great view from kitchen window, sunlight shining through the living room window
- tall people may bump their heads on low ceiling
- some installations might need repairing (toilet seat lose, shower hose sprays, bed squeaks, bedroom window blind doesn't open anymore)
- many stairs to climb
All in all a good temporary home away from home!
The apartment was super nice, just like the picture. Richard was a great host and let us leave the luggage in the apartment before the official check in. The city was really beatiful and the apartment location is perfect for an unforgettable Lisbon experience.
Great apartment in a great area, full of Lisbon life! Lovely park close with a great view, Barro Alto just a small walk away. The apartment had everything you need and even though it was top floor still had plenty of space. No problems at all and Richard was very communicative and welcoming too.
Nice appartement in the center of the city. Welcoming and helpfull host. We had a wonderful stay in Lisbon.
very friendly, giving advice on the city. But pity that we had not stayed in the apartment that we had booked and was closer to the center, which would have avoided taking the tram and we have made it easier for a night out.
très sympathique, prodigue des conseils sur la ville. Mais dommage que l'on n'ait pas logé dans l'appartement que l'on avait réservé et qui était plus proche du centre, ce qui nous aurait évité de prendre le tram et nous aurait permis de sortir plus facilement le soir.
very friendly and exerted host. apartement was very nice and comfortable. could be a little bit more clean, but it was ok. had a really great time in lisbon. think we'll come back!
We really enjoyed our stay in Richards apartment. It is relly close to the city center and the main attractions.
The flat was very clean and nice. We can only recommend it.
thanks richard, for your help.
your flat was perfect and very confortable.
we spent lovely days.
We spent 4 nights in the apartment of Richard very quiet. To be honest, has good and bad points. Among the good, the price, the apartment is very cozy and has everything you need, from the bad, specifically general cleaning bathroom (missing until the toilet paper) and the bedding left a little to be desired, also has poor access and you go crazy until you find it (recommend taking the map from home to the location of the apartment).
Hemos estado 4 noches en el apartamento de Richard muy tranquilos. Siendo honestos, tiene cosas buenas y cosas malas. Entre las buenas, el precio, el apartamento es muy acogedor y tiene todo lo necesario;entre las malas, limpieza general y concretamente baño (faltaba hasta el papel higiénico) y la ropa de cama dejaba un poco que desear, ademas tiene mal acceso y te vuelves loco hasta que lo encuentras (recomendamos llevar el mapa desde casa con la ubicación del apartamento).

"The simplest most important thing you can do for your family may be the simplest of all: develop a strong family narrative."
Author Bruce Feliler attributes family stories as the secret sauce that holds families together.
Owen County is replete with family and community narratives that have been shared with others. These stories of home life and community events serve to strengthen our ties both with our immediate family and with those with whom we share those stories.
"The last time I saw the school its windows were boarded up and the porch was completely gone, but there are many memories of so many people who went through that old school door. I am one of them."
Cody and Courtney Beckham are excited to announce the birth of their first child, a daughter, Lockett Christine Beckham. She was born Dec. 17, 2013, at St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Edgewood at 8:31 a.m. She weighed 9 lbs. 4 oz. and 20 1/4 inches long. Her maternal grandparents are Dennis and Chris Davis. Paternal grandparents are Mike and Lee Ann Waldrop, and Leroy and Tammy Beckham. Her maternal great-grandmother is Betty Davis.
NaTasha Paul and Brandon Brumley of Owenton announce the birth of their son Brennen Isaiah Dale Paul. He was born Jan. 13, 2014, at 5:27 p.m. at Frankfort Regional Medical Center. Brennen weighed 7 pounds 10 ounces and was 216 inches long. Grandparent is Sarah Hammond.
Jeffrey and Carrie Elliston would like to announce the birth of their son, William Paul Elliston, born Dec. 19, 2013, at Frankfort Regional Medical Center at 7:50 a.m. He weighed 8 lbs. and 4.5 ounces and was 20 inches long.

I am not a happy camper this morning.
The Kentucky Wildcats lost, again. It snowed, again and it hasn't been a good week for me all around.
I awoke Tuesday morning with a wet bed. No, it wasn't Dobbs' fault, my waterbed had sprung a leak.
This has been the Winter of Water.
We decided to cancel church on Saturday.
The Branch had as much as eight inches of snow on the ground and it was in the low teens. Snow was piled up on each side of the road and there were icy patches all along the middle.
John took advantage of the 20-degree weather to bring me a load of wood from the wood lot so I would have enough to last this week.
We were ready for another week in the house. I was content. I had wood, a movie, books, a golf game and the University of Kentucky game on TV.
This has been a hectic but productive week.
Teri came on Monday to wash down the walls with vinegar. Then she and John decided that the lower part of the drywall needed to be cut away because it was still wet. She finished about 3 p.m.
John helped me load three large trash bags into the car and I followed her to Owenton to the dump.
She helped me unload and we went our separate ways. That was the last time I was out of the house all week.
They produce love and laughter, heartache and tears and build a tapestry of personalities that connect and bond together to create families. Each family member reflects the past, present, and future; and family stories etch themselves into memories and nourish souls.
Preserving family stories presents challenges to modern man.

Hundreds of beehives are being stolen from Northland farms every year - and producers are being stung by the cost, an industry insider says.
A manuka honey farmer discovered this week that a dozen of his hives had been stolen in recent weeks, the latest in a string of similar offences.
Two farmers offered a total of $8000 in rewards for information about their total of more than 100 stolen and poisoned hives.
Hamilton-based producer Chris Cable today said that he discovered his hives in Northland had also been hit by thieves.
Whangarei Bee Club president Kevin Wallace said the hives, which produce high-quality and valuable manuka honey, were often stolen because they were not monitored 24 hours a day and it was not easy to police.
It costs farmers tens of thousands of dollars in replacing hives each year, Mr Wallace said.
Last month Justin Howes, 22, was convicted in Whangarei District Court for the theft of 87 hives worth $27,000 last year.
Howes was sentenced to 400 hours' community work and ordered to pay reparation of $7500 at $40 a week.
Mr Wallace said it was a rare conviction and often the investigation was too costly for police to invest time in.
Mr Cable, who discovered his hives were missing on Tuesday, said he worried potential thieves were encouraged by the suggestion they could cash in on manuka honey.
He said media reports that the honey was worth more than $400 per kilogram were over-inflated.
"It sends a message to the wrong sort of people that we can make a bit of money from having a few hives," Mr Cable said.
"It just sends the wrong messages and I really worry about our industry that it's going to attract the wrong sort of people who are going to get the wrong message."
Mr Cable said fly-by-nighters would create problems, including increasing the risk of disease, if they didn't manage hives properly.
Northland beekeepers John Whitehead, of Kerikeri, and Lindsay Guest, of Kohukohu, are offering $8000 in rewards for information.
Mr Whitehead wants information about the poisoning of about 80 hives on four sites near Broadwood while Mr Guest is pursuing the people who stole 17 hives and tipped over seven others at Skyline Hill.
Mr Whitehead said earlier this month that the poisoning of nearly four million bees in his hives was an inhumane act. "The bees were slaughtered and left as a stinking, rotting mess," he said.
Senior Constable Gavin Benney of Hikurangi police said black-market beekeeping was a lucrative business.
"There's massive money in it for the big-time beekeepers.
"Starting from scratch would take a while whereas if you were stealing beekeepers gear ready to go, you're skipping the initial start-up period."
More resources need to be put into investigating hive thefts and damages, Mr Benney said.

In Euro Watch, we take a weekly check on the progress of Arsenal's European opponents in their domestic leagues.
Olympiacos 2-1 Platanias

Djamel Abdoun gave the hosts the lead from the penalty spot after six minutes, and Vassilis Torosidis extended the advantage soon after.

Olympique Lyon 1-0 Montpellier

Bafetembi Gomis' first-half strike was enough to condemn Montpellier to their first defeat in six. The forward opened the scoring after 26 minutes. Rene Girard's side are 13th in the Ligue 1 table following the loss.
Schalke 1-1 Borussia Monchengladbach
Saturday, December 1
Julian Draxler's late equaliser gave Schalke a point against Monchengladbach at Veltins-Arena. Igor De Camargo gave the visitors the lead just after the hour, before Draxler struck five minutes from time. Schalke have slipped to fourth in the Bundesliga table.
