I really hope sash doesnt make it to the final 3, and I definitely dont want him to win if he does make it that far. He is a racist and its rediculous that nothing is said about it. If it were a white person saying they wanted to bring as many white people as far as they could, then there would be a huge uproar. Why not the same for him? It is not okay that he wants to bring certain people as far as he can just because of their race. Disgusting. This country has gone to crap.

I am a black male and I was so disgusted by Sasha's behavior. It was embarrassing to watch and I agree with you Anonymous 100%. It just shows that racists come in all shapes and colors.
- September 24, 2010 at 9:53 AM
You both are overreacting. I got over Shannon's little homophobic rant. Get over Sash making that one comment. Idiots.
- October 9, 2010 at 3:00 AM
Li'l stupid fuckers these days....

I do hope Jud/Fabio makes it to the end. I don't think he will win, though, because he just appears to be bumbling along and not really playing the game. Chase won't win because he has flip-flopped already and will probably do so later in the game. That leaves Sash as the winner since he is actually playing the game and has stuck to one alliance, even though he is a racist.
- October 15, 2010 at 12:00 AM
I just signed up to your blogs rss feed. Will you post more on this subject?
- October 22, 2010 at 11:29 PM
I don't think Sash will win if he back stabs Brenda. She will be out for revenge. I hope Fabio wins. He at least as provided some amusement in this dismal season.
- November 3, 2010 at 5:44 PM
Sista Sash should know better than to segregate. It's funny how he associates only with his black roots, when he is far more oppressed as a gay man by both races?...This season was a let down anyway. As long as one of the Sea Hags(shotgun annie Jane & annoying applachia Holly: it's nice to see that 'Survivor' contestants are diverse and that mentally challenged persons can now play,right,HollY?) doesn't win
- November 4, 2010 at 10:15 AM
I hope this is wrong cause I really want Benry to get to the end. but if this is right I want Fabio to win cause he is really funny and crap. :) I named my cat after him :D
- November 10, 2010 at 5:39 PM
I am really sad that marty gets voted out early and also sad that naonka quits cause she deserves to be voted off but otherwise preety happy and i will love it if Fabio wins cause he is way smarter than most people give him credit for.
- November 10, 2010 at 9:19 PM
since not marti, its gotta be fabio!
- November 10, 2010 at 9:28 PM
it would be nice to see naonka get injured before she leaves.
- November 10, 2010 at 10:56 PM
i think sash is a terrorist
- November 10, 2010 at 10:57 PM
I hope that is right, the reason you don't know the winner, is that the winner is announced live. GOOOOOOOOO FABIO!!!!!!! he's the best, and he is studing to be a phycologist i think
- November 11, 2010 at 3:53 PM
if this is right then fabio better win because sash is a racist and chase is flip floping loser! if its not then i really hope benry wins
- November 11, 2010 at 5:26 PM
The winner is announced live thats a joke every season before this one the winner was already leaked to a site like this one.
- November 11, 2010 at 7:06 PM
I would switch Holly and Jane.
- November 13, 2010 at 6:25 PM
I also think that Fabio will win. I mean, based on this list, it is no doubt that he already got three votes from Marty, Benry, and Dan. and probably Brenda, due to the fact the other two betrayed her.
- November 14, 2010 at 4:03 AM
My teacher told the people who watched survivor to who thought they were gonna win.Everyone else's choices were eliminated except mine and know I not gona win a free lunch because Brenda is going home on Wednesday
- November 14, 2010 at 6:56 PM
Kudos to Dan for making it that far in the game
- November 14, 2010 at 6:57 PM
- Arik Wolk said...
Look, If they do make it to the end then Sash will not win .If he can survive that long with Brenda gone than he definitly not win, because he would have forced to play diviously. My prediction would be Fabio because of his laying low not hurting anybody stategy.
- November 14, 2010 at 9:27 PM
- mukhrizyahya said...
i love brenda..since brenda get voted out from this games..i hate to watch survivor..and ash is terrible...please someone..lrt me know why naonka and kelly quits from this games..pleaseeeeeeeeeeee
- November 22, 2010 at 11:39 AM
So do Naonka and Kelly quit because of the rain next week?
- November 25, 2010 at 11:18 AM
I don't like Sash either but I think his comment about wanting non-whites to get far in the game could be because people of color usually don't in Survivor. Let's face it, prejudice still exists, even in this game.
- November 26, 2010 at 10:04 AM
Go away!! Leave race out of it! I'ts a game! Just sit back and enjoy it. Go Fabio!! Super funny and super smart.
- November 27, 2010 at 4:46 AM
Sash is too cocky to win and chase is too dumb. I VOTE FABIO!
- November 28, 2010 at 6:13 PM
- November 28, 2010 at 10:47 PM
I think you are all nuts.
- December 1, 2010 at 7:42 PM
NaOnka is a beast and Jane is a pill.
- December 1, 2010 at 7:43 PM
- December 4, 2010 at 5:19 PM
woot for fabio!!!
- December 13, 2010 at 12:57 AM
they shouldnt let kelly and that horse tooth blue gum naonka be on the jury. goddamn jungle bunny.
- December 14, 2010 at 7:09 PM
I wish Dan would win :-(
- December 16, 2010 at 3:06 AM
I want to see Chase, Fabio and Benry in a threesome gay porn bathroom scene. That looks awesome. :D
I want FABIO to win. Chase is an indecisive man whose brain is in his dick. Sash is a stupid racist. I hate him since the beginning.
- December 17, 2010 at 12:44 AM
I want FABIO!!!! He seems like such a sweetie and has played a good game. Sash is a weasle and Chase is an idiot
- December 17, 2010 at 4:55 PM
- heapsa said...
Anyone know what it was that Sash did on the beach that Jane wouldn't tell? By the way I like Fabio to go all the way!
- December 19, 2010 at 12:49 AM
The story I read was that Jane claimed Sash promised to pay off her mortgage if she would vote for him to win the million dollars and try to influence the other jury members into doing so, as well. Sash denied it, but side deals like that are against the rules.
- December 19, 2010 at 3:32 PM
All you black people do is whine about how racist white people are. What about how racist your people are, where do you live in Antartica?

Reviews for this host's other properties
Nice comfortable and extravagant apartment. Great location easy to walk to many metro stations, local bars & restaurants. This area is good value for your money as well & there is telephone for local calls in the room included which makes making arrangements easy. Miguel helped us check in & was very helpful , polite & we loved our entire stay. Only issue was the washer is a bit confusing on how to operate but we managed to get it done eventually. The local bars have the best topas only 2 blocks away & there are 2 supermarkets very close as well.
Thank you for everything. The appartment was very close to centre. We found everything clean and comfortable and a crib was set up for our baby. Check in was smooth and very informative.
The nights were a bit noisy but not disturbing. Maybe we would suggest that hot water on taps should have higher quantities as for a family of three to shower after each othet was not sufficient. However, everything else eas excellent and will surely recommend it.
We would return for sure. Thanks again
Was an absolute excellent stay in all respects.
Perfect location, nice appartment with top features like nice bathroom etc.
Will come again.
Very nice apartment with great amenities.
Good Composition of the house.
The central location we were able to reach most attractions on foot.
Every time we would like to come again.
Sehr schönes Appartement mit toller Ausstattung.
Gute Aufteilung der Wohnung.
Durch die zentrale Lage konnten wir die meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß erreichen.
Wir würden jeder Zeit gerne wieder kommen.
The apartment is well equipped, slight signs of wear, but clean. The only thing is that the two windows show in the small courtyard. She is very centrally located, everything is within walking distance. We were greeted at the apartment by the person responsible and informed also great about the city with lots of tips. Everything went smoothly and straightforward. The apartment can definitely recommend further!
Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet, leichte Gebrauchsspuren, aber sauber. Das einzige ist, dass die beiden Fenster in den kleinen Innenhof zeigen. Sie liegt sehr zentral, alles ist fußläufig erreichbar. Wir wurden an der Wohnung vom Verantwortlichen empfangen und auch super über die Stadt mit vielen Tipps informiert. Alles hat reibungslos und unkompliziert geklappt. Die Wohnung kann man auf jedenfall weiter empfehlen!
Excellent deal, but not the person who was supposed to contact. Without any problem, the person who was in charge behaved very correctly.
Excelente trato, aunque no por la persona que se suponia que iba a contactar. Sin problema ninguno, la persona que se encargo se porto muy correctamente.
With everything furnished, clean, bright, very centrally located.
The managers are very nice and super helpful.
Would we book :-))
Mit allem ausgestattet, sauber, hell, sehr zentral gelegen.
Die Verwalter sind sehr nett und super hilfsbereit.
Würden wir wieder buchen :-))

Tower of London-Power behind the throne - Thursday, 10 February 2011
A fabulous "bejewelled" dragon – standing 3m high and specially commissioned by the Royal Armouries – will create a guaranteed "wow factor" at a compelling new exhibition opening at the Tower of London this Spring.
Discover the stories and personalities behind the major organisations of state, who took care of Royal business from within the mighty Tower of London's walls from 1100 to the present day.
Power House – the new permanent exhibition opening on the White Tower's top floor on April 2 in partnership with Historic Royal Palaces – showcases the roles of the major organisations that provided the bedrock of England's power throughout the centuries.
Great institutions include the Ordnance Office, Ordnance Survey, the Royal Mint, Record Office, the Jewel House, Menagerie and Royal Observatory. The exhibition will also put the spotlight on other Tower of London functions, ranging from royal residence to state prison.
Royal Armouries' Head of Creative Programmes Karen Whitting said, "The Tower has been home to many important national institutions for over 900 years and was viewed as a fortress and symbol of England's might.
"Close to the seat of Royal power at Westminster, the Tower became England's ultimate Power House – and the functions it housed were vital to whether successive monarchs kept or lost control of the kingdom.
"There are some fascinating stories to be told – including the tale of William Foxley, potmaker for the Royal Mint, who fell asleep for 14 days and 15 nights. The poor soul was was viewed as a curiosity and was prodded, poked and even burned in an effort to rouse him. Even King Henry VIII visited the Tower, to witness the 'spectacle' for himself."
To create a stunning welcome to visitors, the Royal Armouries is creating a mighty dragon, a modern trophy, made up of components from of each of the great institutions of State. The design is still being finalised but the majestic beast could include:
- Ordnance Office – armour, swords, firearms and cannon to create the back legs and body
- Menagerie – a cage for the ribcage
- Prison – chains to create the tail
- The Royal Mint – coins to represent the dragon's fire
- The Observatory – telescopes for front legs
- The Records Office and Ordnance Survey – parchments and maps for wings
- The Jewel House – fake diamonds and rubies for the dragon's eyes
Power House will also include interactive opportunities from the Royal Armouries' popular Hands on History experience.

Notes to editors
- Power House is being organised in partnership with Historic Royal Palaces, the independent charity that looks after the Tower of London
- This exhibition would not have happened without the generous support of Energy Invest, HISTORY™ and Ordnance Survey
- The Royal Armouries is home to the national collection of arms and armour, plus historic cannon and artillery. It has sites in Leeds, HM Tower of London, Fort Nelson and Louisville, Kentucky. It is the first British national museum to open a permanent presence in another country
- To support the work of the Royal Armouries; make a donation at www.justgiving.com/armouries/donate
- The Royal Armouries Museum should not be confused with Royal Armouries International plc, the private sector corporate hospitality business based on the same site in Leeds.

U.S. debt amounts to $534,000 per household.
Original post made by Solutions?, Foothill Farms, on Jan 27, 2012
U.S. owes Sixty Two Trillion, which amounts to Five hundred and Thirty Two Thousand per U.S. household.
This is more than five times what Americans have borrowed for everything else in mortgages, car loans, and other debt.
The Federal debt only tells us what the government owes to the public. It doesn't take into account what's owed to seniors, veterans, and retired eployee's.
The government has promised pension and health benefits woth more than $700,000 PER retired CIVIL servant. The pension fund's key asset;fereral I.O.Us.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

Unfortunately, this debt accumulation is not going to stop until the world stops lending us money and/or the Fed stops printing money. Only then will the necessary adustments be made. And these adjustments will be more painful the longer we wait.
One can watch the European debt train wreck currently underway and the one that is about to start for Japan for hints of what is in store for us.
In the meantime, both political parties will continue to shine us on. Neither one is serious about solving this problem because they know they can get away with it and we won't hold them accountable.
Remember all that noise last summer about raising our debt ceiling to $15.2 Trillion? There was barely a peep this week when it was raised to $16.4 Trillion. It took us only 6 months to blow through $1 Trillion. I wonder how long it will take for the next
$1,000,000,000,000 ........................
We deserve what is coming to us.

I don't know where you're getting your numbers. The total US debt is actually closer to $15 trillion, not $62 trillion. And the debt per taxpayer is about $50,000 , which doesn't seem to agree with your $532,000 per household figure.
No doubt about it: The national debt is a big problem. But you could have made the point just as well without fudging the numbers.
a resident of Foothill Farms

The extra zero that Sam points out must be a "fo paux," right GX? You're the "fo paux" expert.
a resident of Amberwood/Wood Meadows
on Jan 27, 2012 at 2:32 pm
15E12 / 3.3E8 = ~ 50,000 per person.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Jan 27, 2012 at 4:02 pm
The $62 Trillion is total debt including the present value future entitlement commitments (Social Security, Medicare, etc.). It is sort of like the unfunded pension liability for the entire country.
The $15 Trillion is current outstanding public debt. It has been shown through historical examples that once a country's debt/GDP ratio increases higher than 90%, it begins to negatively impact the economic growth potential of that country (Reinhard and Rogoff). We are currently above 100%.
And Phil - I'd much rather be guilty of misspelling faux pas than be guilty of your continue crime of ignorance demonstrated by mindlessly quoting irrelevant surveys and never having the intelligence nor courage to comprehend and debate actual facts.
Maybe you'll win more people over to your "informed" perspectives if you increase the amplitude of your vitriolic juevenile antics. You continue to prove that informed thought is not required to have a loud and obnoxious voice.
a resident of Foothill Farms
on Jan 27, 2012 at 6:59 pm
So says the Fo Paux-er GX: "And Phil - I'd much rather be guilty of misspelling faux pas than be guilty of your continue crime of ignorance demonstrated by mindlessly quoting irrelevant surveys and never having the intelligence nor courage to comprehend and debate actual facts."
Well, speaking of irrelevant surveys....
Fact is, GX, hasn't offered "actual facts." He's mindlessly projected a zany number that has been formulated without taking into account improving economy, expanded tax base, and, inevitably, tax hikes on the uberwealthy. Fact is, GX's inability to spell reveals a lack of reading skill, and both deficits -- spelling and reading -- contribute to his pathetic inability to reason. A high school freshman taking math can interpret stats better than he can. I once thought he was an incorrigible liar; I've since come to realize he's simply an undereducated hack. He needs to go back to school. It's never to late.
a resident of Foothill Farms
on Jan 27, 2012 at 7:37 pm
Moreover, it's never _too_ late, either.
On GX's 'reasoning', I'm currently running a $100 debt because next year I intend to drive from Pleasanton to Portland and back. All his hand-waving for attention, his slavish attitude toward any stat he gets from the right-wing blogs, and the poor pup can barely add 2 + 2 and get 4.

Given Genius already knows this, let me use his/her example of spending $100 on a roadtrip to further the economic discussion for everyone else.
Spending is not spending as many Keynesians would have you believe. One needs to consider the spending from two perspectives: what the money will be spent on and where the money came from.
First, there is a big difference between money spent on an investment vs. consumption. Money spent on an investment will create future wealth (that can be used for future investments or consumption). Money spent on consumption is spent and then gone. So if Genius' road trip is to create a new company then he/she is essentially making an investment that may/may not lead to future wealth. If it is a party roadtrip, that's just consumption in the form of entertainment (which is OK as long as it is coming from savings).
Which leads to the second point of where the money came from - savings vs. debt. If Genius' $100 came from his/her savings account, that is fine. But it is a different situation if they had to borrow that money due to the interest they will need to come up with and the future consumption they will need to forgoe to pay it back.
It is common sense to recognize the difference between these two potential scenarios:
- borrowing $100 to do a party road trip to Portland
- spending $100 from savings to travel to Portland to help start a business
One leads to future debt while the other leads to future wealth. Unfortunately many of our leaders (on both sides of the isle) and many of our citizens have forgotten this basic economic lesson.
If our $15 Trillion deficit had been invested wisely to create economic/business enhancing infrastructure, that would be one thing but it wasn't. It was and is being spent on current consumption to allow us to live beyond our current means. We are not making investments to enhance our future wealth.
So this means that our future standard of living will necessarily be decreased so that we can pay back that $15 Trillion plus interest. Just like is happening in Europe (especially Greece) and just like what is starting to happen in Japan.
This is the "gift" we are giving our kids. We are not leaving this world/country in better condition than we received it.

Once again GX's reasoning (and commentary) is infantile. First, what happened to the 62 Trillion dollar debt he was hawking not too long ago? Back to 15 trillion now are we?
Second, GX calls anything the fed does consumption and by fiat then is unable to calculate products created by govt spending -- such as world-saving inventions by innercity kids or children of undoc immigrants who are given an assist in college. Or transportation systems (highspeed rail). Or alternative energy systems. Or public workers who pave roads, build bridges, fight our wars, teach our children, etc. Well, I've got news for him: his mythologized private sector is no more productive than is govt.
Fact is, GX, as per usual, demonstrates serious confusion, not only mathematical but conceptual. He is, for example, unable to understand my most basic analogy. I'll make the point here more directly for GX and other softheads: One cannot calculate future debt without holding a slew of variables constant (or by manipulating those variables to suit your own bias). If you try to do that, you end up with the goofy 62 trillion debt number that GX and the other softheads are peddling, erroneously. In the real world, the future holds too many intangibles -- wars, inventions, economic booms (and busts), fluctuating tax rates and tax bases. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence should be able to grasp this. GX, the fo-paux-er, shows he is barely literate, unable to grasp an argument, and is mired in mathematical and conceptual confusion. He needs to go back to what he does best: cutting and pasting material from rightwing blogosphere and predicting small-minded tsunami gloom and doom.

Um...GX appears to be correct:Web Link
Explain it away all you want, but the reality is businesses could not use the same accounting practices as the government with regards to future liability.
Another reason why government (both parties and the bureaucrats) need to be cleaned up.

The article is misleading, as once one calculates fluidity of economy in future, the numbers are virtually meaningless. Any child should be able to recognize this.
Dan wasn't able to understand my above argument (12 minutes ago), but he sure does a good cut-and-paste. Very impressive.
I guess anyone who knows how to reason comes across as GENIUS to him. It must be arduous having such an inferiority complex.

Yes Genius, I envy you. Go with that one.
Do you...uh...have a solution? Or is name-calling the best ya' got?
a resident of Foothill Farms
on Jan 28, 2012 at 1:25 pm
Do I have a solution? I'd begin with GX and Dan getting some additional education that might help them to recognize a badly written and badly argued right-wing fluff piece when they see one.
On another thread, Sam has provided a link that shows high correlation between low IQ and support of socially conservative institutions. That same link might be appropriate here as well.
Also, to further educate Dan and GX, I'll try to extend my analogy. The $100 I anticipate spending next year on a trip to Portland is not a debt until it becomes a debt. It MAY simply be an expense; and it MAY be a relatively insignificant expense, especially if the economy improves over the next year and I get my well-deserved raise. To calculate that $100 future projected expense as a debt is simply dishonest. In GX's and Dan's respective cases, it isn't so much dishonesty as stupidity. How anyone could read that USA Today baloney and not laugh is beyond me.
a resident of Amberwood/Wood Meadows

Stacey is a registered user.
Phil's right. Anticipating to spend $100 next year is not debt. Legally obligating yourself to pay $100 next year is a liability. If you borrowed $100 to pay now for the trip to Portland and promise the lender to pay them back next year, you have debt. Debt is also a liability. You have to ensure you have the liquid assets in a year to pay it.
a resident of Foothill Farms
on Jan 28, 2012 at 2:07 pm
Which is why the debt stands at approx. 15 trillion, not 62 trillion. The economy is improving, and the extent to which it continues to improve will impact whether future liabilities are significant or not -- e.g., whether they are readily paid off with tax revenue or must be borrowed against. We won't know until we see fully how the economy continues to grow. See, for example, Clinton era surpluses.
P.S. Clinton was a Democrat.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

I'm sorry Phil, but when I read this from you("I'm currently running a $100 debt because next year I intend to drive from Pleasanton to Portland and back") I assume your word "debt" means "debt".
Regardless, you'll see from my comments that the $100 become debt at the moment you spend it. My point isn't that debt is bad but that debt for investment/wealth creation is much better for the individual and society that debt for consumption.
I do hope your re-reading of these posts will help you distinquish the differences between the $15T and $62T numbers. Both numbers are valid. One is more comprehensive than the other.
Given how smart you are, I'm sure you understand the concept of Net Present Value (NPV) and how this concept has been used for decades if not centuries to estimate the value of future obligations and/or payments.
I'm sure you are also aware that the SEC is in the process of implementing a new rule to force government agencies to publish the NPV of their future pension obligations so they can no longer hide this unfunded debt from the public.

Phil - can you help me understand why Federal debt increased by nearly $1.5 Trillion if in fact he was running surpluses as you suggest?
Here is the URL you can use to check your numbers. And before you go there and disparage this as a right-winged, biased resource, please do note that the information comes from www.whitehouse.gov (table 7.1).

While you are at it, can you help me understand why Obama supporters continue to claim that he is not as bad as Bush given Obama has wrung up more debt ($5.5T vs. $4.4T) and over only three years?
From my perspective, both are pretty bad when it comes to fiscal responsibility.

GX again fails the reading test. He claims that I state: "I'm currently running a $100 debt because next year I intend to drive from Pleasanton to Portland and back." And then he says, I assume your word "debt" means "debt".
I tried to give the guy the benefit of the doubt by arguing he isn't so much a dishonest sleeze as an ill-educated buffoon. But I have to go back to my original view: he's ill-educated and a sleeze as well.
He's a sleeze because he intentionally misquoted me. My actual quote was, "ON GX's REASONING [my emphasis], I'm currently running a $100 debt because next year I intend to drive from Pleasanton to Portland and back." Yet he claims this is MY reasoning. You know what this shows? Dishonesty. What follows of his 'argument' is nothing but sheer stupidity.
GX shows he's incapable of seeing how a taxpayer financed bridge or transportation system or educational system is in fact a PRODUCTIVE investment. He raises the distinction between production and consumption, but is woefully unable to appreciate the distinction. ON HIS REASONING, taxpayer money going toward public education = consumption, and private money going toward manufacture and sale of toilet paper = productive. What a sillypuss.
This may help to underscore what separates a rational human being from the right-wing dolts who populate these sites like GX and Dan and the rest of the clown club. They'd rather have a society producing toilet paper than one producing knowledge. The first is a tangible commodity, I guess, and being the commodity fetishists they are, only IT must count as 'productive' commodity. The second, education, is beyond their grasp at any level -- can't place a dollar sign on it -- and so they call it consumption. Thankfully, we live in an increasingly rational society and the likes of GX and Dan only slither out from their rocks to attend Palin/Santorum/Paul/Romney/Gingrich rallies. Must suck to be them.

While you are at it genius, can you help me understand the following?
Why is that government transfer payments have grown from 7% of total personal income in 1959 to 20% today and we will have all these entitled people crying out for more? You'd think that all these decades of free money and plenty of free/cheap educational resources, more people would have taken advantage of this to improve their lot in life.
Why is it that total government spending per GDP has grown from the 15-20% range during the FDR halcyon days to the 37-40% range today and yet people like you are still not happy with the level of entitlement spending?
Think about that, 37-40% our GDP is eaten up by a grossly inefficient, wealth transfering government. We are nearly half way there to your socialistic/communist nirvana.
a resident of Foothill Farms
on Jan 28, 2012 at 5:01 pm
Thoroughly thrashed, exposed as dishonest and dimwitted, GX now turns to petulant self righteousness and a new bevy of numbers that are beyond his cognitive ability to grasp.
Percent of govt spending relative to GDP: 1942 -21.7%; 1945 -41.54%; 1953 - 20.75%; today - est. 25%.
What's the big whoop? Things haven't changed in last 50 years? Clearly we've moved closer to a social welfare democratic state. More cars on the road, more trade to regulate, an expanded population, more elderly living longer, an increased societal push toward social justice, inter alia. Somehow, GX wants to move from 20% (his first paragraph) to 37-40% after he sucks on more fantasy fumes, and then make a big deal about this. The tsunami is coming, and blah, blah, blah.
Gotta love the way the boob disparages entitlement spending. I wonder if he's referring to his kids' public education, or his wife's unemployment compensation, or his parents' medicare help, or his brother's social security, or his own govt-regulated senility drugs? Nooooo, I don't think so. I think we all know who he's referring to. (Hint: they're likely not white.) Perhaps someone else wants to take this creep seriously? I've about had it. I simply do not suffer idiocy very well, at all.

A Wooded Retreat in Central Oregon
Crescent Lake Resort • Crescent Lake, OR
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two, Sundays to Thursdays ($149) or Fridays and Saturdays ($169), in a Studio or One-Bedroom Cabin
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Up to Four Guests, Sundays to Thursdays ($179) or Fridays and Saturdays ($199), in a Two-Bedroom Cabin

The Destination
Situated on the banks of glacially carved Crescent Lake in the Deschutes National Forest, Crescent Lake Resort offers guests a world of recreation, no matter the season. Winter finds this rustic retreat humming with snowmobilers, crosscountry skiers, and snowshoers, while just 15 minutes away, Willamette Pass Resort affords downhill skiers 555 acres of terrain. In the spring, opportunities abound for hiking, biking, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking.
The Digs
Choose from any of five studio cabins, like the South Twin honeymoon cabin, replete with a Jacuzzi tub and queen bed. Or, pick from two one-bedroom abodes (Gold and Waldo), both of which come with full kitchens. If you're looking to spread out and put your feet up, spring for one of six two-bedroom cabins, all with full kitchens, and all but one with two queen beds.
Nestled among stands of fir trees, the charming outposts also feature cozy furnishings, crisp linens, and satellite TV. One- and two-bedroom cabins can also accommodate additional people—and well-behaved pets—for $10 per night, per person (or pet).
The Diversions
March may be peak season for mackinaw trout, but it's never the wrong time to fish—especially since you'll be hooked up with a $60 boat rental credit on these renowned wintertime waters, the only spot in the area that's open year-round. Just be sure to pick up a fishing license at nearby Odell Sportsman Center.
Or, keep the boat at bay and use the value of your $60 boat rental toward snowmobile rentals. A $300 deposit is required and the buddy system is enforced, but those are small details when you consider the powdery adrenaline rush that comes with it.
When it's time to dock for the day, relish the scenery from the breezy patio of The Pines Bar & Grill, while dining on your fresh catch, burgers, salads, and sandwiches. The restaurant serves three meals a day and offers a fully stocked bar.

[quote user="JPizzack"]
[quote user="lttaylor56"]It's insane. I loved B's post. I feel like I'm a pressure cooker these past two weeks-having so much trouble concentrating on anything other than the game. I have never been so freaked about a game. It all has to do with the fact that it's the Pat's and what happened in 2007 for me.[/quote]

yea i hear ya. different expectations this time around, am i right? like in 07, we were just so amped to get to where we did!! The Patriots WERE the better team back then. We pulled off THEE greatest underdog win in history(ok thats the homer in me saying that, but it's definitely one of the biggest since Jets/Colts).
This year, we are running on all cylinders and playing awesome football! So yea....I personally have expectations. So it is very nervewrecking.
[/quote]Precisely, there's an entire history/drama surrounding this game. In 2007 it was a true David vs. Goliath thing. We had a team that came together at the end of the season, a defense with heart like a lion and a QB who haplessly made the #1 play in Superbowl history. In 2011 our team features a QB with the most 4th qtr td's in the league, a wr salsa dancer who broke a franchise receiving record in his first year, a 2nd year phenom defensive end with 16.5 sacks. It's a totally different story now. The drama is still there saying that NYG took a season 1 game away from complete perfection away from Brady and Bellicheck. Man!!!!!!! This could really not get any better.

Marion residents worried after string of vehicle vandalisms
MARION, Va. - People living in Marion Virginia tells us that they are angry and scared after discovering that their vehicles were vandalized while they were sleeping.
One resident is taking matters into his own hands to make sure his property isn't damaged again. "I'm very, very angry. I would like to find out who it is and have them prosecuted," said Samuel Lewis, a victim of the vandalism.
Lewis tells News 5 he woke up around 7:30 Saturday morning to find that his SUV had been vandalized. "I went out to get in my car and I got ready to go to West Virginia, turned around and felt something was wrong. I got out and saw that my tires were flat," said Lewis
Lewis said he was heading out of town to see his son, but instead he ended up at Thompson Tire. They told him that the two tires on the driver's side had been slashed, costing him more than $300 in repairs.
He told News 5 that his vehicle isn't the only one that has been hit by vandals; he said that he's heard of several other similar incidents this week in his Severt Hills Apartment Complex.
The Marion Police Department told News 5 that there have been six reported cases on vandalism in the city over the past month and out of those four involved vehicles.
Lewis told News 5 he has filed a police report and he plans to speak with his landlord Monday as he begins to take precautions so this won't happen to him again. "I'm going to try to talk to her about letting me put my video camera up or keep an eye out for the next week or so, and during the nighttime just to see if I can catch anybody," said Lewis.
The Marion Police department tells News 5 that if your property has been vandalized, leave it alone and contact the police so they can conduct an investigation.

California, I'm Leaving! The Facts on California's Imminent Bankruptcy
Original post made by Kevin Rutherford, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Jan 31, 2013
California contributed more than 15 percent of the nation's new jobs between October 2011 and October 2012 - adding more jobs in 12 months than Texas and the rest of the other top-10 fastest-growing states combined - while home building is bouncing back and demand for houses is increasing.
The end-of-2012 results were even more impressive.
Of the 171,000 new jobs the entire U.S. added in October, 27 percent were in California. And since the beginning of the year, California has added nearly 300,000 jobs, outperforming Texas by a decent margin and outpacing New York by more than 2 to 1.
San Francisco is overrun with cranes, as the new digital economy (Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter) continue to be HQ'd in the Bay Area. Heck, add Samsung to the pile.
Conservatives have made hay of reports of California companies leaving the state. And it's true! Some have—254 in 2011, to be exact. Conservative media had a field day with that little stat. On the other hand, 132,000 new businesses were created that same year—second highest per capita in the nation, tied with Texas, and behind only Arizona. And that was California's down year.
And California's Democratic takeover has now given us a healthy budget surplus this year, something Ahnold couldn't manage without gimmickry.
I'm not sure why conservatives are so obsessed with California's failure. I don't root for Alabama or Oklahoma or Utah to suck. But if your entire worldview is predicated on the fiction that gay people, Hollywood, Latinos, Nancy Pelosi, and taxes kill society, then I guess California's fate is critical for validating that nonsense.
Too bad it ain't California going down. In fact, all those things they hate about California is what makes it so fabulous. Phil Mikkelson? You can go away any time now. We don't need you.

For the record, I never said California would go bankrupt. I said a tsunami was coming. Just you wait and see. The above facts mean nothing when compared to my very reliable prognostications. California simply can't sustain the current job gains and tens of thousands of new businesses. Do you know why? California teachers' salaries and pensions, that's why. It's basic salary/pension science.

Kevin, post some links to where you got your set of 'facts' and then you may be on the road to credibility. I'm not sure why you think being over taxed and over regulated is a good long term solution for prosperity, unless that's not what you really want.
And who is this 'we' you refer to when you say 'we don't need you'? Is it your posse of like minded insulated leftists living off the taxpayer handouts us working people are funding? You people don't represent or run my state....you're just more occupiers seeking to bleed my state dry.

Bumblehead, you've made a great point. Although the objective data is widely disseminated across the internet and available to anyone with even a tad of curiosity, it feels much better to spout Republican talking points. We just can't sustain all the unsustainable liabilities imposed on us by leftist elites who are bleeding us dry. And global warming is a hoax. And there was no way Mitt Romney could lose the 2012 election. Ohio? I refuse to believe it! See californiatsuminami.com

Great post Kevin. It shows there isn't much truth behind the anti-California hysteria of conservatives. All the right-wing hyperbole about California is rooted in a hatred of progressive, forward-thinking values. It has nothing to do with crime (crime is at record lows) or the economy (the state's economy is recovering).Notice that most of the people that left this state were old, bigoted, republicans who couldn't handle the growing diversity. They moved to places like Idaho and Arizona so they could be around their white nationalist ilk. These are precisely the same people that are leaving Pleasanton.

The rant claiming Calif. is absolutely not circling the toilet has no data to back it up. This is yet another attempt by local union thugs to avoid cuts to their pensions by trying to doctor up a rosy picture. Without factual data from any reputable source, this is all mental master action by the originator of this blog.

You're so right, Bumblehead -- er, I mean Sally. The facts are widely circulated across the web, but most of us are too lazy to look. And besides, the facts don't fit MY world view. And whenever there's a discrepancy between facts and MY world view, I opt for ME. Sounds like that's what you're doing too. Good for you, Doll! Join me in exposing the acursed union thugs who obviously paid big time to have several govt agencies provide this favorable "data". And, besides, as a Republican, who wants to hear GOOD news about California? Because what's good for California is BAD for Republicans. Fight the union scourge!!!

Went too a huge gun shop here in central Florida yesterday..
Other than a lack of AKs and ARs, their was everything one could need.
Cases of AK mags $14 each.
AR mags, all kinds, $16.
Powder $29 for one pound. Now a bit high, but if your only buying one pound at a time. Fair price I guess, when you include hazmat and shipping..
Loads of pistols at MSRP..
Racks of rifles at more than fair prices..
Truck was pulling in loaded with cases of ammo.. Did not stick around to check prices, but they refused to gouge.
Cleaning supplies, holsters, etc.. All at very reasonable prices..
Primers, out of site on prices, they are getting gouged from their wholesaler.
They said calm down out there, manufactures and importers are catching up.
Thanked them for not gouging. Hell people were not even looking at prices, just buying what they needed..

Fischli & Weiss: The Way Things Go
17 Feb 2014 - 25 Aug 2014
Gallery B106
The NGC presents The Way Things Go (1987). Drawing crowds wherever it has been exhibited, the highly acclaimed 30-minute recording of a spectacular chain reaction of household and industrial objects was created by the Swiss artists Peter Fischli and the late David Weiss. Presented as part of How Things Go (1985–87), a video installation acquired by the Gallery in 2009, The Way Things Go is featured with two lesser-known films by the artists. These recount the often outlandish and improbable sequences of mechanical, chemical and material reactions Fischli & Weiss presented in their classic 1987 production.

I used to have a terrible cough and needed a lot of prenoxdiazine (which is expensive). This tincture solved that problem in a couple of days. And now I can sleep without doxylamine. I also wanted to get rid of migraines, but this product is probably too weak for that purpose. Although it is much better than water extracts.

A dream
There is a dream that natural flows of solar and wind energy can replace and transition from fossil fuels — transition to an equivalent lifestyle. A dream so strong, it is as a religion for some — a dream that hits the wall of reality.
If a source of energy costs as much energy to produce as we get from it, it is a dead end. This is called "energy return on energy invested" (ERoEI). ERoEI is one important measure. Solar hot air, photovoltaics and ethanol are all marginal or even negative. They hardly replace the energy they take to manufacture, transport and maintain the equipment. Wind is a better option using this measure.
A second piece of the hard wall of reality is that all the devices needed to capture the wind or sun are extensions of the fossil fuel supply system. It takes an industrial infrastructure to mine, refine, process, manufacture, transport, install, maintain and replace the devices needed to capture the sun or wind.
These devices do not make enough energy to reproduce themselves. In essence these devices are not renewable. Even if they could squeak out enough energy to reproduce themselves, they couldn't go on to reproduce the goods needed by society.
The hard wall of truth is that the fossil fuel/industrial infrastructure is simply not green, so considering this approach, green is an illusion. The whole system, from the mining to the various toxic chemicals to transportation, is simply "business as usual."
And it is critical that the process be considered as a system and not the isolated component on the wall or roof.
Unfortunately, this is a 20th century dream in the hard financial and environmental reality of the 21st century.

Derrick Gaines killed by SSF Police Officer
Original post made by Michael G Stogner, another community, on Jun 8, 2012
My condolences to his family and friends, We San Mateo County must put a stop to this if at all possible. The article said the police did not say what kind of gun he allegedly pulled out of his waistband which caused the unnamed officer to "fear for his life" which is the standard answer in these shootings.I think it would be helpful for the transparency factor if they identified the gun and was it real, loaded, kind of ammo etc. It also said "A lengthy investigation will be conducted by the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office." I am asking District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe to ref. this investigation to the Attorney General of the State of California based on my personal knowledge of favorable treatment towards law enforcement in the past by his office.
We must pull together and find a way for our citizens and Police Officers to be safe. If a gun was involved and pulled from the waistband kids and adults need to understand that would be a good reason to shoot period.

let's not second guess. You weren't there. You can bet if I was and someone pulled a gun I wouldn't wait to find out if it was real, loaded or unloaded. You pull a gun on me and I'm armed, you're going to get shot. Period. It's a terrible thing, but if this person really did pull a gun on a police officer, he did a very stupid thing.
a resident of another community
on Jun 8, 2012 at 11:16 am
Michael is not second guessing. He said in his post that if a gun actually was pulled, that might justify this officer's actions. He also correctly recognizes that the San Mateo D.A. will not hold law enforcement accountable when they are wrong. This justifies the referral to the Attorney General of the State of California. This police department has not been forthcoming with whether a gun actually was pulled (versus "appeared" to be pulled) and that doesn't make sense.

Wagstaffe would say that the Mehserle shooting at Oakland Bart was totally justified also. This youth was shot in his back and there is no justification for this. I believe Steve Wagstaffe needs to be prosecuted for civil rights violations at the federal level. He has already been censured on this in terms of sanctionable conduct during a criminal trial.

Lets see, the kid runs from the cops, gets knocked down, a gun falls out of his clothes and he reaches for it in front of the armed officer that is in front of him. The officer fires on him because he's in fear of his life. Frankly, I don't see a problem here. You don't reach for a gun after you run from the police unless you're an idiot. I feel badly for the family's loss, but this officer didn't do anything wrong, the kid did.
The way you stop this is to not let your kid run wild in the streets using drugs and carrying a gun.

Menlo Voter,
I agree with you 100% and we must make sure that everybody understands if you carry a gun this is most likely going to be the outcome.
What I was asking for was an outside investigation to remove any questions that's all. We know that our District Attorney is a racist according to 3 judges, and we know he does Police Officer's criminal favors Atherton several times.
I'm not saying he's wrong on this one, it just would have been cleaner going outside.
a resident of Menlo Park: other
on Aug 30, 2012 at 4:53 pm
"...it just would have been cleaner going outside."
Mr. Stogner, we both know that isn't going to happen. And if every DA in every jurisdiction "went outside" on every police shooting, the California Attorney Generals office would have nothing but those cases to handle. It's the system we have. Unless you can prove malfeasance in this case on the part of the D's office, there's no reason to suspect an incorrect outcome.

It's that time of year again – Back to School. Vacations are over, and it's once more time to pick up the serious work of learning. For students, (and teachers), it's often a difficult moment – after the long summer vacation, the back to school blues set in; those long, lazy summer days are finally over.
But what we need to remember in all of this is that education is something that often tends to be taken for granted. What we sometimes forget is that around the world, for millions of children, education is something that happens to someone else. For many, education remains a privilege, not a right.
We all know about the Millennium Development Goals - or we should. The second Millennium Development Goal: "Achieve Universal Primary Education" is in second position, just after "Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger", for a reason; without universal education, the chances of effecting real and lasting change, of empowering people to take charge of their lives, are slim.
Take the example of Fatuma, a 15 year old Somali girl who grew up in the Dadaab refugee camp in North Eastern Kenya. Fatuma could have stayed in one-roomed shack in the refugee camp where she grew up, helping her mother collect water and firewood in the daily effort to survive. She could have missed out on a secondary education and got married at 15, as so many girls do. Instead, Fatuma won a scholarship to the Kenya Girls High School in Nairobi.
What sets Fatuma apart in her school is not just the fact that she wears her veil to school, it is her ready smile and fierce determination to succeed. In an environment and culture where opportunities for girls, especially regarding education, are few and far between, Fatuma, thanks in part to her innate intelligence, and also to the determination of her mother, Fosio Jama Salat, is set to succeed. As Fatuma's mother says:
"It was me that was taking care that she should not marry. I want her to learn something. To help herself and us… If she studies something, she can first help herself and then help her mother. Because ignorance means darkness."
WFP also provides meals to the children in the camp schools, and Fatuma remembers just how important that daily meal was throughout her education in the camp school:
"We used to drink porridge in class, and it helped us. You find yourself hungry, and you are in class, and you have lessons to revise and do all that stuff, so it was a refreshment. In Dadaab you depend on that food."
So what can be done to make a difference, and help to achieve the second Millennium Development Goal by 2015? Well, we can ensure that we don't take education for granted; we can take action to raise awareness about the issues in our communities and teach about global issues in our schools; and above all, we can remember that education represents a future for the young people like Fatuma all around the world who are trying to make a better life for themselves and their families.
It costs just 25 US cents, or 19 Euro cents per day to give a nourishing meal to a child like Fatuma – a small investment with amazing returns. Find out more, and see what you can do to help here.
Fatuma's story gives us confidence, an assurance that there is an alternative. Let's make sure we do our part.

Reviews of this property
1) The room is included bathroom, unfortunately it is not in the sleeping room as we expected. It is really unconvenient.
2) The breakfast is very poor, just a few snacks, it is not real breakfast. We stay there 3 days, actually they put only one time some snacks.
3) The room is close to the road, it is very noise and laud.
4) The landlord is quite arrogant
We were really disappointed with the stay
Beyond the fact the room and the bathroom are clean, we have been disapointed about the service. The description about the breakfast is not realistic, missing things and bad quality of the products. This does not correspond to a bed and breakfast for us.
While our bathroom was out of order for a day, we had to wait for two hours to have a shower in a shared bathroom. The mate took our bathroom key and it was impossible for us to attend our meeting on time. Despite all those troubles, no discount have been proposed.
La habitación es amplia y muy cómoda, tal cual las fotos, también tiene un frigo pequeño. Jessica es muy amable y también nos guardó las maletas unas horas el día de vuelta. El baño es privado, está en el pasillo, se cierra con llave. Hay toallas limpias. Al otro lado del pasillo está la zona de desayuno, habían zumos, leche, máquina de café, paquetitos de tostadas, queso, embutidos, fruta, bollería..no estaba nada mal, la mesa no es muy grande pero como no coincidimos con nadie estábamos bien. La situación bien, está cerca de Re di Roma (no llega a 10 min), que hay metro y bus, y en la calles de alrededor también hay paradas de autobús. Sin duda repetiría y lo recomiendo! Ciaoo Ciaoo!! :D
Reviews for this host's other properties
Our room was fine for our purpose of our stay. We did a 3 night city trip and the B&B provided all the facilities that we needed. One day when it became a little colder there were already extra blankets placed in the afternoon. Also the last day after checking out we could still leave our luggage for a few hours in another room before we picked it up and we went to the airport. Great service!
Breakfast is simple, but enough for us. (good coffee!)
I would recommend this place to friends and family.
We had a wonderful time here. The appartment room was very clean and spacious. Jessica made our arrival easy and was very reliable. The next metro station is just a 5 min. walk away and then your quickly off to explore the city. Around the metro station (Re di Roma) you will also find restaurants, pizzerias, etc. Also a very convenient plus is the supermarket just around the corner of the appartment. A small but good breakfast is provided and fruits and coffee are always available. Definetely recommandable!
Over all we had a good time in Rome. The room was pleasant, and the receptionist was kind. However, the idea of B&B was rather an exaggeration. Becase there was just a tiny table in the hall way with two chairs and food was placed on it in the morning with no plates and utensils to eat with. It was really awkward. Three of us were there and ended up having breakfast only once, standing using our fingers(just one roll out of courtesy) in the apartment and never again for the four days we stayed. Besides, sweet rolls and pies in the morning were way too much.
The bathroom was to be shared if there were other visitors. As there were not many other people, we could use the bathroom without experiencing crowdedness. But the water pressure in the shower was horrible.
We were hoping to walk around the city as was recommended by other tourists, but B&B is located off the center, and is not within the walking distance to the touristic places. So using Metro is a must if anyone wants to stay at this place.
Like I mentioned, we had a good time in Rome as a whole simply because there was just so much to see, but the B&B wasn´t an addition to this experience.
We were enjoying our stay at Rome 4 Rooms in September 2014. The host is very friendly and was waiting for us when we arrived, she is open to any circumstances. We had a nice apartement which was quite near the center. The bathroom is modern and clean.
We would stay there again.
Thank you.

Excerpt: "We're taking a little closer look at each draft pick and what the Giants' brass is saying about the newcomers.
Seventh-round pick: G Eric Herman, Ohio
Here's our Rapid Reaction on Herman and what the Giants are saying about him:
Jerry Reese: "A big, tough, nasty guard. We really liked him. Wed been looking at him on the board for a while there and we were hoping that if he could get to the seventh row hed be a nice pick for us at that spot. Hell create some competition at the guard position - tough, hard-nosed, big football player."
Marc Ross: "Eric Herman is just a tough, nasty brawler as a guard. I mean this guy is just physical. He likes contact. He plays hard. Not the most gifted athlete, but hes just a tough guy and hes big. A big, smart, tough guy and we think hell bring a physical presence to the line."
Tom Coughlin: "A tough guy, another offensive lineman. He is a guy that will slug it out and battle with you. So a great spot for him right there." Read more...

Reviews of this property
Nice apartment, with all the necessary facilities.very quiet surrounding.
Made us feel like coming home after an long day at manhattan.
The apartment was spacious and by Brooklyn standards is possibly quite good but it is old and well used. We found it poorly lit and with a noisy timber floor and other users in the building coming and going at all hours it was too noisy for our liking. The bed was comfortable and the cooking facilities adequate.
The area might be rather confronting and uncomfortable to some but we had no problems. Subway is close and local buses are good. Shops and eating options are plentiful.
David was very helpful and welcoming.
Hi David and Jacqui
Thank you for a wonderful stay in your apartment. We had a great time. New york is a marvellous as you know and we discovered. It was good to see Brooklyn and the attractions it has. We wanted to thank you for the passes to Moma and the Whitney which were both excellent and you saved us money and time as we didn't have to queue to get in. That was a tremendous bonus so thank you from us both. We found the apartment really relaxing and a good base from which to explore. It was easy to get around to everything we wanted to see. We just didn't have enough time. It was a shame that we did not get to say goodbye to you both and thank you in person for your hospitality, help and advice and recommendations. Thank you both. We have recommended you already to family and friends should they come to New York.
Jacqui and David are the perfect hosts. The appartment is sunny and clean. Towels, hairdryer, coffee, thee...everything you need is available. David gave a lot off information about the neighborhood, restaurants, shops...Friendly neighbours and very close tot the subway station, very easy tot get there from the airport and to get to Manhattan. Tanks for the fine week in Brooklyn in your lovely home.
Perfect place to stay in New York apartment. !!!!!!
Apartamento perfecto para alojarse en New York. !!!!!!

Returning to New York with our kids in a few years and will be staying with David and Jacqui.
As we promised 2 years ago, we came back to this beautiful apartment, this time with our son (10 month). And it was as charming as we had remembered it. Jaqui and David are the greatest hosts you can imagine. Big hearted and friendly.
We would love to come a third time.
Lovely apartment. Well equipped (good mattresses, elegant but cosey living and dining area, dishwasher, washer/dreyer available, microwave, toaster, coffeemaker, plenty of towels, etc.). Very friendly and obliging landlords.
Thank you Jacqui and David for the pleasant stay!
Jacqui and David, thank you for your appartment share with us, we love it! I am going to write in English to people who talks this language.
The department is divine, very warm-a very important winter-cleaning was spotless, and loved finding, cleaning and pantry look.
We stayed as a group of 6 people and space is sufficient. The decor of the apartment is very pretty and original. In the kitchen you can find all the necessary items for cooking.
Thank you very much for the hospitality, David was always attentive, very comfortable living on the second floor.
Would definitely go back!

El departamento es divino, sumamente calientito -un aspecto muy importante en invierno- la limpieza fue impecable, y nos encantó encontrar artículos de limpieza y despensa.
Nos alojamos un grupo de 6 personas y el espacio es suficiente. La decoración del departamento es lindísima y original. En la cocina puedes encontrar todos los enseres necesarios para cocinar.
Muchas gracias por las atenciones, David siempre estaba al pendiente, es muy cómodo que vivan en el segundo piso.
¡¡¡Definitivamente regresaríamos!!!
We stayed in this Brooklyn apartment in October. The hosts are excellent, always willing to help. We were worried upon arrival in the area as it is not as nice as other parts of Brooklyn, in fact, at times we felt a bit unsafe. The apartment and kitchen are well furnished, it has only one bed and the other two are sofa beds, not terribly comfortable. No washer and drier as stated in the Wimdu site, which was a deal maker for me, so I was disappointed as I was expecting to wash clothes a couple of times. (Jaqui took care of it) Excellent cable TV and fast wireless internet. We were not fond of the noise coming from upstairs at almost all times.
It takes about 20-25 min by metro to reach the city, take the A train as the C train stops more often.
Our stay at Jacqui and David in the beautifully decorated, cozy apartment was just awesome. We felt immediately at home. We were greeted affectionately, could always ask if something was unclear. David gave us a map with restaurants and shopping nearby. We have tried Saranghinas and Alice's Arbor, both are highly recommended. Great atmosphere and good food. The subway station was very close. We have done much, experienced many memorable moments and we will as soon as it is possible for us to rent this apartment again the next New York visit. Of us there are definitely 5 star :-)
Unser Aufenthalt bei Jacqui und David in der wunderschön eingerichteten und gemütlichen Wohnung war einfach nur genial. Wir fühlten uns sofort wie zu Hause. Wir wurden liebevoll empfangen, konnten immer fragen, wenn was unklar war. David gab uns einen Plan mit Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der näheren Umgebung. Ausprobiert haben wir Saranghinas und Alice's Arbor, beide sind unbedingt zu empfehlen. Tolles Ambiente und gutes Essen. Die Subway-Station war ganz in der Nähe. Wir haben sehr viel unternommen, viele unvergessliche Momente erlebt und wir werden sobald es uns möglich ist beim nächsten New York Besuch mit Sicherheit wieder diese Wohnung mieten. Von uns gibt es auf jeden Fall 5 Sterne :-)
