Nice room, nice terrace, nice bathroom, love landlord!
Einfach perfekt!
Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen!
Schönes Zimmer, nette Terrasse, schönes Bad, liebe Vermieter!
I personally liked this room a lot. The connectivity was good from this place. It was near to VIC (15-20 minutes). Even you can walk to station kagran where you had best shopping mall of the vienna city. The Metro connectivity is also very good.
Apart from this, they are very very good Host. I loved their company. They provide all possible help.They where very very helpful to me.
Gans was quiet surroundings, so slept well, but the bed / mattress was bad. Very friendly owners who have ourselves met at the airport. Room was cozy and clean. We were pleased.
Gans ruhig war die Umgebung, Deshalb gut geschlafen, aber das Bett/Matratze war schlecht. Sehr freundliche Eigentümer, die haben uns selbst abgeholt vom Flughafen. Zimmer war gemütlich eingerichtet und sauber. Wir waren zufrieden.
The accommodation was as stated and hoped for, very quiet, with the public one is but fast in the city center. Extra tip for cabaret friends: The "Orpheum" is within easy walking distance!
The room is really big and "rooming green" also refers to the institution itself.
The "cons" (rather small guest bathroom, no TV) were already in the
Description given so that you can live.
Most importantly: The interaction with the hosts was reckless and trusting and completely straightforward, thank you !!
Die Unterkunft war, wie angegeben und erhofft, sehr ruhig gelegen, mit den Öffentlichen ist man aber schnell in der Innenstadt. Extratipp für Kleinkunstfreunde:Das "Orpheum" ist in bequemer Laufentfernung!
Das Zimmer ist wirklich sehr groß und "Rooming green" bezieht sich auch auf die Einrichtung selbst.
Die "Nachteile" (eher kleines Gästebad, kein Fernseher) waren ja bereits in der
Beschreibung angegeben, damit lässt es sich leben.
Das Wichtigste: Das Miteinander mit den Gastgebern war rücksichts- und vertrauensvoll und gänzlich unkompliziert, vielen Dank!!
First look at the location of the place and the description. When you take that into account, you should be very satisfied with the room. The room was spacious and clean, so was the common kitchen, the bathroom was small but otherwise comfortable. It is located in a new developement with interesting spatial layout and quiet. A Billa market is within walking distance.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
Let's keep it simple and real. He will coach as long as JR and ownership believe he has the goods to win a championship. At his age, where people can start to slip, that could be as little as one year or as many as a few. It is a year to year decision and while he can choose to leave, it is his bosses decision on whether he continues to have an offer to stay.

Winter Financial Aid Update
In this update:
Winter Quarter Disbursement of Aid & Refunds
Your DU tuition bill is due on December 27th. On that date, your financial aid for winter quarter will disburse to your student account and will pay toward your charges—as long as all financial aid requirements are satisfied.
In order to receive your financial aid, you must:
Expecting a refund? If your financial aid is more than the total of your charges, a refund will be generated by the Bursar's Office on Thursday, January 2nd. If you haven't done so already, we recommend setting up direct deposit to receive your refund sooner. If you have direct deposit, you can expect to see your refund on your bank account on January 3rd.
We frequently have students ask, "Can I get my refund sooner?" The short answer: no. We are prohibited by federal regulations to disburse financial aid funds any sooner than 10 days before the start of the quarter. Since winter quarter begins on January 6th, we can't disburse funds any sooner than December 27th.
Learn more about billing and disbursement >>
Applying for Aid for the 2014-15 Academic Year
It's already time to start thinking about applying for financial aid for next year! Remember: if you wish to receive any federal aid (including loans) you must reapply for financial aid every year you attend DU.
How to Apply:Complete the 2014-15 FAFSA (available January 1st).
When to Apply:The priority deadline for current students is March 15th.
What You'll Need:All of your 2013 tax information, including your completed tax return. If you are unable to file your return before completing the FAFSA, you may use estimates. However, if you use estimates, please go back to www.FAFSA.gov to correct your application using IRS Data Retrieval once your tax return has been accepted by the IRS.
We will begin sending 2014-15 financial aid award letters to those with completed applications in mid-to-late May.
Learn more about applying for financial aid or download the application checklist.
New Loan Origination Fees
Last spring, you may remember that the Department of Education announced across-the-board budget cuts known as the "sequester." This sequester has required a slight increase to origination fees on Federal Direct loans.
For Direct Unsubsidized loans, the origination fee has increased from 1.051% to 1.072%; for Graduate PLUS loans, the fee has increased from 4.204% to 4.288%. One important thing to note is this change only affects loans where the first disbursement is on or after December 1st.
So what does this mean for you? This loan origination fee increase will only affect students who request new loans starting with the 2014 winter and spring quarters. If you were enrolled in fall quarter and have already received a loan disbursement for the 2013-14 academic year, your origination fee will not increase for the winter and spring disbursements of that loan.
University Closed for Winter Break
As a reminder, the University of Denver is closed from Wednesday, December 25th through Wednesday, January 1st. Since our office is included in the closure, we highly encourage you to make sure all of your financial aid requirements for winter quarter are satisfied before the break. Doing this will help you avoid late fees, and will ensure you get your refund in a timely manner.
If you have any questions about the information in this update, please contact us! Happy holidays!

This adrenalized twist on the vampire genre that is worth sinking your teeth into.
Director: Jim Mickle Rating: R Studio: Dark Sky Films
If your position is that the last thing the world needs is more vampire fiction, few would argue. But before you drive a stake into the low-budget Stake Land, know first that this surprisingly good little shop of horrors shares more DNA with post-apocalyptic survivor stories like Zombieland, The Road and The Walking Dead than the sparkly young vampires in The Twilight Saga or the sexed-up Southern decadence on display in True Blood.
Stake Land depicts an America that has fallen into ruin after a vampiric plague has swept the nation. Pockets of human survivors remain, but they have mostly turned on each other in a desperate bid for survival. Among them is a young man named Martin (Connor Paolo) who travels with his hardened mentor, a vampire hunter known as Mister (Nick Damici). Mister gives Martin some staking tips and the two encounter a scourge of undead monsters while traveling to a purported safe haven in Canada known as New Eden. Along the way to what they think is the Promised Land, the duo picks up nun-on-the-run Sister (Kelly McGillis) and a young pregnant woman named Belle (Danielle Harris). As if the woods weren't already crawling with enough danger, the ragtag group must also contend with the Brotherhood—a fundamentalist Christian militia that believes the plague is part of the Lord's divine plan.
There isn't anything remarkably original in this gritty, gory post-catastrophe thriller, but director Jim Mickle still gives Stake Land an unmistakable visual style and proves that there is still some blood left to drain from the vamp genre—even if this entry plays more like a zombie picture. If you think about it, vampires are basically zombies—they are undead corpses that move about and try to bite people—and the ones on display here are the mindless monsters of nightmares, not Dracula.
Stake Land won the Midnight Madness Award at the Toronto International Film Festival and, although you surely missed it in theaters, is an adrenalized twist on the vampire genre that is worth sinking your teeth into on disc.
Best extras: Both the DVD and Blu-ray contain two cast and crew commentaries, "Going for the Throat: The Making of Stake Land," seven short-film character prequels, video diaries and a Q&A from the Toronto International Film Festival.

This decadent pie is loaded with juicy apples and adorned with a streusel-lover's crunchy topping. The pie is best served the day it's made. If you're short on time, look for a ready-made whole-wheat pie crust in the freezer section of the store.
Nutrition Profile:
High Fiber
Low Cholesterol
Low Sodium
Serves 10
Prep Time 60 min
Total Time 210 min.
Step 1
To prepare crust: Whisk 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Cut in 4 tablespoons butter and cream cheese using a pastry blender or a fork until the mixture is pebbly. Add oil; stir until evenly moistened. Sprinkle water over the mixture; toss with a fork to combine. Knead the dough in the bowl a few times. Gather into a ball, press into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days.
Step 2
Roll the dough into a 14-inch circle between 2 large pieces of parchment or wax paper. Peel off the top sheet and invert the dough into a 9-inch pie pan. Peel off the remaining paper. Press the dough firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Tuck the overhanging dough under, forming a double-thick edge. Crimp the edge with your fingers. Using a fork, prick the dough in several places. Refrigerate the crust for 15 minutes.
Step 3
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 375°F. Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 30 minutes.
Step 4
To prepare filling: Combine apples, 1/2 cup brown sugar, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour over the apples and toss again; mound the filling into the cooled crust. Coat the crust edges with cooking spray, return the pie to the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Meanwhile, prepare topping: Combine 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour, oats, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter with a pastry blender or a fork until evenly distributed. Stir in orange juice concentrate and nuts.
Step 6
After the pie has baked for 30 minutes, remove it from the oven and scatter the topping over the apples. Return it to the oven (covering the edges of the crust with foil if they're browning too quickly) and bake until the topping is golden and the juices are bubbling around the edges, 20 minutes more. Cool for at least 1 hour before serving.

The queens shipped on time and they assisted in helping with UPS when they had equipment failure and were delaying the shipment. Their queens are very healthy and were 100% accepted.

Raw video: NZ soldiers' bodies arrive home
7:41 AM Friday Aug 10, 2012
Two grieving families watched from a dimly-lit runway as the bodies of Lance Corporals Pralli Durrer and Rory Malone arrived home to New Zealand. The pair, their caskets each covered in a New Zealand flag, flowers, their hat and a single framed photo, were carried off a United States Air Force C-17 in Christchurch late last night. It was the first time their families could be reunited with the men, who were killed in a gun battle in Afghanistan at the weekend.

LIFEGUARD JAMIE Russell of San Rafael was on alert when she noticed the little boy playing with a flotation device had slipped from sight at the shallow end of Fairfax's Meadow Club swimming pool.
She quickly spotted 4-year-old Parker King of Novato floating at the bottom, jumped in and brought him to the surface, then administered rescue breathing followed by a series of chest compressions last Sept. 12.
"It was scary," the 22-year-old said. "It seemed like forever, but when he started coughing and crying, I knew it was going to be OK."
Russell, who graduated last spring with a degree in environmental science from the University of California at Santa Cruz and is now studying to be a pharmacist, was hailed as a hero Tuesday as Sheriff Bob Doyle gave her a certificate of commendation, the department's highest honor for a civilian.
Russell was saluted at an awards ceremony at which three deputies also were commended for action "above and beyond" the call of duty.
Officials credited the chest compressions administered by Russell with saving Parker's life.
"Ms. Russell's prior training and immediate response to this situation resulted in saving the life of a 4-year-old boy who may otherwise well have died awaiting medical response that had to travel along a rural two-lane mountain roadway to arrive," the sheriff's commendation said.
The King family watched the proceedings intently near the front of a crowd in the Board of Supervisors' chambers, and Parker's dad, Bruce King, was near tears as he turned toward Russell to thank her in halting, emotional and heartfelt commentary.
"That day my life flashed before my eyes," KIng said. "The way you focused and did that training, it all worked out. It's a miracle," he said. "He's perfect."
While dad's comments were brief, Parker, now 5, was a little man of but one word. Asked how he was feeling about the festivities, he said, "Good."
Russell wasn't alone Tuesday in getting an honor for saving a life.
Deputy sheriff Laurie O'Toole received the department's life-saving award for saving an inmate at the county jail who tried to hang herself with a sheet last May 23. The inmate "would have likely died alone in her cell," if Deputy O'Toole had not investigated a noise, burst into the cell and lifted the inmate's body weight off the noose, the sheriff's commendation said.
And deputies Jerrod Kansanback and Robert Heilman received letters of commendation for actions last April 5 in which they confronted a juvenile probationer who had been expelled for bringing live ammunition onto a school campus. The combative youth repeatedly tried to reach inside his jacket and a "very violent physical altercation" ensued in which Heilman's hand was broken. A loaded revolver was found in the jacket.
The two deputies were honored for "alertness, effective deployment of sound defensive tactics" and, in Heilman's case, a 'willingness to fight through the pain of a fractured hand.'"
The honorees received rounds of applause from an enthusiastic audience of sheriff's deputies and others who filled the chambers.

Litzau released again in Pine River
Level 3 predatory sex offender Robert Arthur Litzau, 71, was scheduled to move again to Pine River on Thursday, Oct. 3.
Litzau intends to live on 24th Avenue Southwest in rural Pine River, according to the Cass County Sheriff's Office. This is the same address where he lived last January after serving time for a 2011 violation of predatory offender registration requirements and burglary of a dwelling.
Litzau's appearance and offender information has not changed since his last release so there was no community meeting for his release.
Litzau was rearrested Aug. 19 for violating the conditions of his release by failing to register as a predatory offender.
He has a history of related offenses starting in 1998 with fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct charges involving a 15-year-old male from Crow Wing County. He was sentenced to a minimum jail sentence of 12 months and one day. He was charged in 2008 for failure to register as a predatory offender, and in 2011 for driving an unregistered vehicle as well as various other charges.
Litzau is under restrictions from the Minnesota Department of Corrections. He will be under supervision until 2023 and will be required to register as a sex offender until 2033.
The sheriff's office has Litzau's release information and a public fact sheet available online at www.casssheriff.com and on its Facebook page. The sheriff's office also was to issue a Nixle instant notification release.
Travis Grimler can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Facebook.

Just a reminder for all of the new beekeepers.
If you live in a colder region of the country, you should have entrance reducers on. Mice will be starting to move into your hives, and they can do lot's of damage!
If you have an above average mice problem, I've found setting up an empty super with traps inside works great.

Mark was the son of Pastor Paul and Edwina Lobb who has pastored Unionville Baptist Church and Prairie Flower Baptist Church in Washington. Notes and condolences can be sent to Paul and Edwina at
Mark P. Lobb, 55, of North Liberty, Iowa, died Monday, January 7, 2013, at Mercy Hospital in Iowa City.
Funeral services will be held 10 a.m., Saturday, January 12, 2013, at The River Community Church (3001 Muscatine Ave) in Iowa City. Visitation will be from 4-8 P.M. Friday at the church. Family committal services will be held at Ridgewood Cemetery in North Liberty. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Mark Lobb Memorial Fund. Online condolences can be sent to his family through the web @www.gayandciha.com.
Mark Paul Lobb was born October 10, 1957, in Virginia, MN; son of Paul and Edwina (Kunnary) Lobb. His family includes his parents; wife of 32 years, Sharon; sons, Joshua (Sarah), Lucas (Megan) and Zachary; daughter, Jennifer Ross (Nicholas "Learning"); siblings, Marlaine Matthiesen (John) of IN, Timothy Lobb of NJ and Terri Zabrocki (Dean) of MN as well as numerous nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles.
Mark was a selfless provider; always giving and never demanding. He led a life of intentional servitude, modeled after Jesus, his savior, friend and redeemer. He was earnestly devoted to becoming more like Jesus, even when it pushed him out of his comfort zone. He was a pillar for his family and church.
He was a man's man. He almost single-handedly built his family's first home, taught his sons how to hunt, rebuilt a car after it was totaled, convinced his family to camp in the Boundary Waters two years in a row, piloted small planes, slalom water skied like a boss, and rode his Harley. He was a dad and husband who could accomplish almost anything, but always deferred recognition or praise. He was quick to tell everyone how blessed and lucky he was. Always humble, always loving.

Newbie Lab setup!
- I configured 2 routers
- connected routers to a switch (Configured)
connected laptop and PC to get a small working LAN.
-setup wireshark on a PC
-telnetted from pc to router and viewed the Plaintext data captured using wireshark.
-also used wireshark to collect plaintext between 2 machines on the lan using MSN messenger.
Although all this was rather basic, i was quite impressed with what i had done/learned. and the small problems i discovered along the way provided good real-life hands on education:
-Didnt set exec password but set telnet, therefore locking me out router -Having to break into a 2950 switch which someone previously set up with a username/password)
the problem is now im running out of ideas, any ideas of any other data i could try sniffing or any other labs i can perform with this kind of setup?
I was thinking of experimenting with NMAP and other software which could allow me to exploit vunrubilities found within the NMAP scan but this will be another milestone

PORT WASHINGTON — Despite a plethora of constantly changing products, the consumer technology industry saw its sales decline 2% in 2012, according to The NPD Group. This is on top of the less than 1% drop in 2011. Since 2010, consumer technology sales have declined by $4 billion.
"While sales fell in consumer technology for the second consecutive year, there was an uptick in Q4 which is cause for optimism," said Stephen Baker, VP industry analysis at NPD. "After struggles with declining categories, and increasingly saturated markets over the last few years, fourth quarter's results may be the first sign that even as a mature industry consumer technology can grow again, albeit with a very different dynamic than in previous growth spurts."
The top five categories; notebooks, flat-panel TVs, smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers accounted for 53% of sales in 2012, up from 49% in 2011. Tablets and smartphones were the only two of the top five categories to post growth, and accounted for all the increase in revenue share among the top categories. The rate of revenue decline for PC products accelerated year- over-year as tablet sales started to erode the computer marketplace. TVs remained mired in a cycle of declining prices and weak volume as the strong momentum from the very large screen market was unable to offset stagnant demand.
"While CE remains a dynamic industry the fact is that the stellar growth of the past few years has made growth today more difficult," said Baker. "Most market segments have high penetration rates and the demand for additional devices is slowing, or declining. Tablets and smartphones have been able to stimulate demand for additional devices, but unfortunately it hasn't been enough, yet, to sustain positive growth trends."
Best Buy, Walmart, Apple, Amazon, and Staples were the top retailers, again, in 2012. Apple, Samsung, HP, Sony, and Dell made up the top five brands for the year and accounted for 45 percent of sales up from 42% in 2011. Apple and Samsung accounted for $6.5 billion in increased sales in 2012, while the remainder of the consumer technology industry declined by almost $9.5 billion.

CW Network's new hit superhero show, Arrow, has a lot of flaws: so-so acting, huge plot holes, and lack of chemistry between some of the leads.
And yet I'm totally hooked.
This is primarily because the show features the best version of Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow since 2004, when bestselling novelist Brad Meltzer finished a story arc on the comic book.
Oliver Queen in Arrow isn't quite like the comics, though they share the same basic origin: rich, feckless scion is shipwrecked and marooned on a desert island for five years and has to learn to survive on his own. When he returns, comic Oliver decides to put his wealth and new skills with a bow and arrow to good use.
The television show takes the deserted on an island part of the origin and twists it so this Oliver (Stephen Amell) isn't alone on the island at all. Instead, he seems to have landed in the company of some very bad people. What drives Oliver to survive is his father's sacrifice to save his life and the obsession to right his father's wrongs, plus whatever horrible things happened on the island.
It all works in the show, to a large extent because Oliver's obsession about righting his father's wrong is seen as just that: a possible unhealthy obsession which has caused Oliver to kill when needed. Oliver says he's not a hero and he means it. He sees himself as basically an arrow pointed by his father. But as his obsession cracks here and there, we begin to see Oliver realize his single-mindedness may be too much.

After a hive is started and gets strong can you collect honey more than one time per year? Do the hives live through the winter in our rather temperate climate or do you start over every year?

Emergency crews preparing for possible severe weather
COLUMBIA, Mo. - With the possibility of severe weather in Mid-Missouri this week, emergency crews are making sure they are prepared and urging residents to do the same.
The National Weather Service held a weather safety class in Columbia Tuesday evening and focused on how everyone can keep ahead of the storms.
After seeing the devastation from previous storms like Joplin in 2011 and Branson last year, people in Mid-Missouri are not taking any risks.
"I want to be around for a while longer and don't want to get caught in the storm," said Cindy Finney of Jefferson City.
"Might as well be prepared because it's going to happen," added Mark Baker.
While no one plans to be caught in a storm, emergency crews have been working to prepare for the worst.
"We pretty well stay ready all the time and try to plan for anything," said Bill Farr of the Cole County Emergency Management Agency.
Cole County recently added new emergency siren systems that are now taller and have louder speakers.
Boone County has been pushing education to its residents and has been making sure all equipment is up-to-date.
"We have been testing sirens regularly so that's all in place and working," said Martina Pounds of the Boone County Emergency
However, in order for their efforts to work, crews say they need everyone to take notice.
"When the sirens go off, they need to seek shelter immediately," said Pounds.
"Always have that plan," added Farr. "That's the main thing, is try to teach yourself to be prepared."
Emergency officials say if you are at home, keep a NOAA weather radio on hand and head to the basement.
"Try to get into the building if you can at all possible," advised Farr. "If you can't, try to get to a low-lying ditch."
If you happen to be stuck outside with absolutely nowhere else to go, it's only at that point that emergency crews say the safest place becomes the inside of your car.
Emergency managers advise it is important to keep safety kits with food and water in both your home and car. Those supplies should last for around three days. They also say you should keep your cell phone charged so you can can call for help if needed.
Crews will be watching for low-lying flood areas for the possibility of high water. They will also have water rescue teams on hand in case of emergency.

The big tank...
Hi guys!! I've been so busy with school, homework, foster dogs, etc. lately that I haven't been able to do anything on my tanks. :( However, I'm finally all caught up on school work, so I'm back in the game now. Long story short, I want to tear down my 3 small tanks and go with one big one. However in one of my smaller tanks, I have 8 Angels that I really don't want to get rid of...At least, not all of them. We originally got them to see if we could get a pair to form, but it hasn't happened quite yet.
Do you guys think they could be kept in my 100?
My 100 gallon currently has:
6 Eartheaters (5 G. Altifrons & 1 S. Jurupari)
2 Delhezi Bichirs(will be sold if they cause problems with other fish when they get bigger. So far so good.)
A small school of Odessa Barbs
A few livebearers
A Chocolate Pleco(will most likely be sold once he's bigger)
1 German Blue Ram
1 Red Tail Black Shark
I do 50% water changes every week, and the filtration is a beastly fx5 with 6 boxes of Biomax in it. :proud:
The Eartheaters, even though they're big, don't hurt anyone. When I added the Ram, she chased them around the tank, just to make sure they knew who was boss...I added some feeders once, the size of week old Molly fry, and the Eartheaters went and hid. They are THAT wimpy.
Do you guys think the Angels could be kept in that tank? Would they pair up, and if they did pair, would I need to remove the other 6 after a pair forms?
I could just use some advice on this :) Thanks guys!
Jurupari are for the most part a docile cichlid, so no issue with them. I am not familiar with the social behavior of Delhezi Bichirs. I think the only fish that could potentially cause issue is the Red tailed shark. They can become agressive and nippy. He may stress the angels. I'm sure they have been kept together since both species are very popular aquarium fish, so maybe someone with first hand experience can chime in.
The tank is large enough that you should be able to keep a couple of pairs of angles without too much issue. Maybe all 8 can coexist without issue. Time will tell. :icon_wink
The Delhezi's mostly just hang out in the plants during the day, and do all their exploring at night. The large one did eat 1 Platy, but has never touched any other fish...Not sure why he decided to eat just the one...Anyways, Angels are way bigger than Platys!
I won't comment on compatibility issues since I do not have experience with most of your fish, but I will say something about bioload. Your water changes and filtration are top notch, but it seems to me that you will have too many big fish in 100g sooner or later. I know people get away with this on a regular basis, but if disease starts (and I think crowding can be a facilitator), it can be very difficult to control in this kind of situation. I once had this problem and vowed to never tempt those gods again.

June 9 review of MVHS Solar Carport
Original post made by [removed], Alamo, on May 30, 2011
Alamo region neighborhoods are preparing for discussion of the solar power generation facility to be built in Alamo at Monte Vista High School. On June 9, 2011, the Alamo Improvement Association (AIA) board meeting at Creekside Church should have the current AIA board and AIA board candidates in attendance to invite visual review and discussion of such massive solar power generation stations that are marketed as "solar carports" Web Link.
Monte Vista's parking lot in Alamo sits in basin below the surrounding neighborhoods. Neighbors will be looking down on SRVUSD's Solar Power Generation facility and such a view may be reviewed as "solar project photo examples" at Web Link. AS your readers review the examples it should be realized that SRVUSD and Sunpower Corporation have not disclosed a final design or the height of the structure that requires clearance for safety vehicles (fire engines).
The purpose of the AIA meeting is to have disclosure of the MVHS solar power generation facility plans as actual drawings, renderings, and site plans so neighbors of MVHS can have full knowledge of the visual impact prior to start of construction. SRVUSD board has been requested to present their plans at the AIA board meeting with a copy of that request to Assembly Member Joan Buchanan. It is the expressed desire of Alamo region neighborhoods to have the SRVUSD board present the full visual impact of the solar power generation facility. Further, neighborhoods will rely on Assembly Member Buchanan to represent MVHS neighbors to the assembly committee that oversees SRVUSD facilities development.
For those who have not seen a solar carport with emergence vehicle access height, please visit the 1700 block of Oak Park Blvd, Pleasant Hill CA.

Looks great! The best document is the booard presentation from Oct 2010, Web Link which has renderings of the different locations. You will need a recent Powerpoint or OpenOffice with the powerpoint 2007 XML filter to view. (It would have been nice if someone had saved it as a PDF, hint, hint.)
The arrays look like oversized white trellises or reasonable proportion as compared to acres of monolithic panel. The visual breakup is enabled by the use of trackers.

Sun to Energy is a total waste...Now, Waste Conversion to Energy is the future.
Constructing a solar power generation facility at MVHS is a grave mistake.
And jrm, why are you jumping on Hal?
Take a look at the wed link regarding solar carports...it's all marketing to the masses that don't have a clue.
A total waste of taxpayers money...but nothing new. I'm sure Buchanan will put on her GREEN dress and screw the taxpayers.
Thanks for listening, Julia from Alamo

Dear Editor,
The practical uses of solar photovoltaic generation are proven in Europe, Asia and are only emerging in North America. It is understandable that local residents would question older technologies using crystalline glass panels that require exceptional superstructure to carry the weight and trackers to focus the face of such panels to the sun. It is old technology not aesthetically suitable to installations in neighborhoods.
New technologies as multi-layer thin film and even more recent commercialization provide lightweight, plug-n-play panels that can lie on a roof with little weight. Elemental lens technology allows such light-weight panels to gather sunlight at extreme angles eliminating the need for tracking superstructures. The overall appearance is that of a dark colored composite roof and would suit the main Danville campus of MVHS without offending the view of Alamo neighbors.
Next month, Intersolar North America trade exposition will be in San Francisco for those that want first-hand review of new, very vital solar power generation technology.

The AIA a private dues paying homeowner's association that, like any other citizen in an unincorporated area like Alamo, can make their thoughts known to the County. Those thoughts may be accepted or rejected. They are not government. They are not decision makers. SRVUSD doesn't need to present to them nor do any others on planning decisions.
a resident of Alamo
on Jun 4, 2011 at 7:34 pm
Dear Editor,
The Alamo Improvement Association ("AIA") is representative of a majority of residents in Alamo through direct membership and membership of representatives of neighborhood, business district and community groups. The AIA board advises county departments, commissions, committees and councils on the will and interests of Alamo region residents. Since the AIA is an independent voice for the majority of Alamo region residents, the impact at the highest level of the county, and onward to state and federal levels if necessary, is acknowledged as representative of the Alamo region.
SRVUSD answers to a state assembly committee with Assembly Member Buchanan as a member. AIA addressed the issue of a massive solar power generation station in Alamo at MVHS to Assembly Member Buchanan as a request for state review of the height and visual appearance of the proposed power station. No other representative or any council has addressed this exceptional potential impact on Alamo neighborhoods or does any county supervisor, their staff and volunteers have any more potential influence with SRVUSD or the state assembly committee that determines such impact on Alamo neighborhoods.
The AIA review represents the full wealth, resources and counsel of Alamo region neighborhoods and provides challenge to SRVUSD and state committees to consider the overall options the Alamo region could employ in defense of neighborhoods.

When are bicyclists ever going to get it?
Original post made by Renee Batti, associate editor of The Almanac, on Apr 12, 2007
When on the road, car drivers and bikers are under the same rules.
On a recent Wednesday as we were heading to dinner at an Alpine Road restaurant, we came across a gaggle (30-40-50?) of our gaily-garbed cyclists pedaling furiously in and outside the bike lane. When they got to the stop sign at Portola Road, guess what? They flew through the stop sign. I am furious. This has to be stopped.

There is no bike lane on Alpine at that location. There is a shoulder stripe, and bicyclists are not required to ride on the shoulder. Why do you think this has to be stopped? Because it infuriates you, or because it is dangerous? I see many cars rolling through that stop sign also, but I have not seen any serious safety problems resulting from cars or bicyclists turning right without stopping. Perhaps the stop sign should be removed. We have so few peace officers in Portola Valley, I think they should be paying attention to things that are genuinely dangerous, not merely technical violations. There have been two fatal car crashes on Portola Road in the last year, the result of excessive speed and alcohol. That infuriates ME!

I totally agree. Driving a bike like a serious vehicle means:
1. Have a bell
2. Don't wear headphones when you bike
3. Bike single file - particularly on Alpine Road and don't talk when you bike
4. Have a mirror
5. Have lights both back and front (more than the law requires)
6. Stop at all stop signs
7. Drive on the right hand side of the road
8. Don't exceed bike speed limits (easy to do on the trail next to the Stanford golf course)
9. Give other cyclists a wide berth when passing
10. Use hand signals to signal
When I was at college in the UK the police regularly caught cyclists for biking on the sidewalk, not having lights, cycling when drunk and other offences. Offenders were fined or required to appear before a local magistrate (who might embarrassingly be a favorite professor).
There is absolutely no reason that the police cannot stop cyclists and give them a ticket as they do for drivers. Not having ID or a license is no excuse. Anyone can truthfully give their correct name and address to an officer - to lie would be deceitful and I hope none of our local bikers would trick a law enforcement officer by giving false information when apprehended.
Its not a question of giving police more money - they are often already around. Its just a case of going beyond the call of usual duty to make the place safer and catch scofflaws.

And the same thing happened last night (Wed, 25 April, around 6:30) and there were even more bicyclists. I dunnoÑ50-60??
When the got to the stop sign at Alpine & Portola, they flew right through it. Then, because of their numbers, they took over the entire car lane of Portola Road! This is insanity!!

Mob behavior is objectionable in any form, even among bicyclists. Critical Mass in SF and the misbehaving Peninsula mob bicyclists do not speak for me. But motorists also comprise a mob, a giant and dangerous one in every city and town on this continent.
So my question for Ted Bache is, when are you drivers going to get it?
Every car trip is slowly poisoning us all, whether from exhaust emissions, tire and brake shavings, oil and fluid drips, battery disposal, or the gallons of water permanently polluted by each automobile during manufacture. Even you hybrid drivers are kidding yourselves.
Ultimate ecological morality is on the side of individual pedestrians and bicyclists, not the mobs of motorists who infect our living spaces. Yes, I drive a car and don't pretend to be better than anyone else when so doing. But every trip I take by bicycle is better than that same trip by car.
a resident of Menlo Park: Stanford Hills

There is nothing illegal, or even unsafe, about a group of 60 bicyclists taking the whole lane on Portola Road. Why does this upset you?
Ted, imagine that a group of 60 bicyclists riding single file approached the stop sign and each and every one of them stopped at the line and looked around before proceeding, taking about 5 seconds each. It would be illegal for you to pass them and turn right across in front of them, so you would have to wait behind them. Would you be happy? I doubt it, because you would have to wait 5 minutes for the group to clear the intersection!

Some of you bicycle zealots miss the point.
When dozens of you go out riding together, you are participating in recreation. You have no right to hog the road or flout the safety laws. Your sanctimonious rants about your non-polluting bikes miss the point: you're out there solely for your own amusement. When you get your bikes back home, you hang them in a garage, then hop into your Hummers to go to the grocery or to work.
Bicyclists who use their bikes to go to work or school, and who therefore truly are helping our environment, don't ride in packs; they also tend to obey traffic laws. Reread Angela's post about using a bike as a serious vehicle rather than as a plaything.
a resident of Menlo Park: Fair Oaks
on Apr 29, 2007 at 11:48 am
My sanctimonious rant about my non-polluting bike stems precisely from not being out there solely for my own amusement. (There is always an amusement and health component to bike riding, even for errands, but I guess BMW owners feel the same way about driving.)
I ride a bike mainly to avoid driving a car, and for exercise benefits. I do real errands by bicycle, as much as 20 miles a day in good weather.
I don't own an SUV or any late model car, to my significant financial benefit. I do use my car when necessary, because our foolish society decades ago chose automobiles as its primary and heavily subsidized transportation system.
Americans are blind to the dangers and negative consequences of molding society around automobiles. I wish I could say that the rest of the world laughs at us, but in fact the rest of the world is racing to emulate our motoring folly.

Wow! "One who gets it" has shown us some good old-fashioned, unvarnished bigotry: sweeping generalizations, outrageous exaggerations and fabricated falsehoods. All this is used to justify an attack on civil rights, claiming that the group in question has no right to use public facilities. Does this pattern sound familiar? Thank you, "One", for making your prejudice so clear.
a resident of Menlo Park: Belle Haven
on Apr 29, 2007 at 8:02 pm
Whoa, Frank, that's quite a leap. Where's the attack on your civil rights? Of course cyclists can use public streets...as long as they obey the same rules of the road as drivers do.
You sound like the kind of cyclist who likes to throw water bottles at pedestrians "but I was trying to hit a car!" The road out of town is thataway...
a resident of Menlo Park: Stanford Hills

Learn to read,
Wrong. Bicyclists who break the law are ticketed and fined, not prohibited from using public roads. Drivers can lose their driving privileges, but pedestrians, skaters, skateboarders, scooter riders and bicyclists have a right to access public roads regardless of whether it is for transportation or recreation.
a resident of Woodside: Mountain Home Road

I think we should stop using any vehicles at all. We should just walk everywhere. Bicycles are polluting our air and roads and our lungs because of all of their rubber tires and polymer brake pads being shed into the air.
And running should be illegal too because running shoes are subsidized by offshore poor workers.
Okay..everyone wake up. and just follow the legislated laws of the road that you are on. No matter what vehicle you are in/on ...including your sneakers.
a resident of Menlo Park: University Heights
on May 2, 2007 at 7:29 pm
Bikes, cars (walkers and runners too) share the road if all simply follow the law and common sense. Habits such as stopping at stop signs and red lights or keeping within the bike lane are inconsistent practices across all Bay Area cyclists, which is unfortunate for those individuals who do follow the lights and signs. However, this does not warrant "corrective" behavior by motorists. While I feel that allowing slower cyclists in automobile left-turn lanes is a senseless allowance, no "group" has any rights to obey or disregard laws by their own choosing.

Comments from "hard-core" bicyclists like Donald remind me of the best summary description I've read regarding Critical Mass which appeared in a letter to the editor to the SF Chronicle:
"Critical Mass is bicyclists monthly "temper tantrum" at the world."
And when it comes to temper tantrums, experts say that it is usually best to just ignore them if at all possible.
a resident of Woodside: Mountain Home Road
on May 3, 2007 at 1:02 am
Observer and James - i totally agree with you.
Lets all be more respectful of each other.
And yes, these emotional temper tantrums are the same that propel mobs at soccer games in Europe. Basically, group empowerment of individual frustration in a dangerous way.

spend just 5 mins on a Sat/Sun on Sand Hill and you'll see 10, 20, 30 bikes running the red lights. Anyone who thinks there are this many cars running/rolling through red lights is denying reality.
These guys pretty much ensure the "oh noes, evil crazy drivers!!!11!!" cries get ignored or laughed at...

BENICIA -- The concept was there: Save imbibing patrons from themselves while bringing business to Benicia merchants.
While Tony Schmit hoped to offer a solution to DUIs -- driving under the influence -- she ended up with her own version of DUI -- "don't understand it."
Oh, there was a time when Amore Limousine's free service to drinkers was ably supported by downtown taverns, but apparent customer abuse and limited tavern involvement has forced Schmit to shut down the program next Friday.
"It's a cool program, but people are exploiting it," she said.
The only merchants left -- Jan Lucca at Lucca's on First Street and Bruce Adams at Bottom of the Fifth at Fifth and Military streets -- are the only paying proprietors.
So, according to the arrangement, customers get picked up at their homes and get dropped and, if needed, picked up at either of the two establishments.
Problem is, said Schmit, the customers may not actually partake in the paying businesses, though it's more of a problem downtown than at Bottom of the Fifth.
"People would get out of the car (limo) and walk down" to several other bars, Schmit said. "And Jan would be the one paying."
Schmit said that when the BarHopper started five years ago, there were four venues helping to share the monthly fee of the free service to customers. With only two, it's no longer a break-even, community service, Schmit said.
Lucca, who initially used BarHopper when he owned O'Leary's -- now Cullen's Tannery Pub -- downtown until opening the restaurant, said it's difficult to judge "whether I'm making money on it or not," but that it "goes beyond money."
"It's a good public service. It's taking (possibly intoxicated) people off the road," Lucca said.
Lucca went to Schmit with the BarHopper idea because it takes too long for a cab to arrive from Vallejo and, he said, often he couldn't get a cab after the 2 a.m. closing at his old bar.
As insurance against a customer's DUI and possibly worse, "I can't for the life of me figure out why these other (establishments) won't get involved," Lucca said. "It's a mystery to me."
Benicia police cited close to 100 motorists for DUI in 2012, slightly down from a year before, Sgt. Frank Hartig said.
Though it's impossible to say what impact the BarHopper may have had on the statistics, "anything that responsible beer servers downtown can to do combat drunk driving has always been appreciated," Hartig said, approving "without a doubt" the BarHopper concept.
"As police, we've always seen the BarHopper in motion, especially on busy nights," Hartig said.
"I like to think they were doing their part of being responsible in providing rides to impaired or potentially impaired drivers," Hartig said. "For us, it's win-win."
Mario Giuliani, the city's economic development manager, said he knew Schmit "struggled to gain interest in sponsors for the program. It has been a valuable service and it's unfortunate more restaurant and business establishments have not shown greater interest."
The combined fee Lucca and Adams pay isn't a money-making proposition for Amore, said Schmit,
"I'm coming out of pocket every month for gas plus the wear and tear on the cars," she said.
Peak service has been between 150 and 200 "stops," Schmit said, which could mean from one to four patrons per stop.
Amore has three "on call" volunteer BarHopper drivers in town, including Rick Farmer, Adam Young and Dave Maggart. The drivers accept tips, Schmit said, usually $5 per pick-up.
Schmit said venues easily make the $250-a-month fee cost-effective via patronage. Plus, management doesn't need to fret about patrons getting drunk and harming themselves or others and possibly making the tavern liable.
To bypass venue owners and charge patrons would categorize the free limo service, and require a costly permit, Schmit said.
Lucca said patrons may drive downtown and realize they shouldn't drive home. The BarHopper is available as a one-way safety net.
"Someone might think they're coming down to have two beers and they have five," Lucca said.
Schmit said she's distributed BarHopper fliers recently to 17 businesses, quoting them a fee anywhere from $250-$750 depending on how many others participate and the reliability on alcohol to their business.
The Vets' Building, a previous client, said it would again participate, but Schmit said she can't offer an equitable monthly fee unless others go for it.
She said she was told by one bar owner that he "doesn't like the idea of a free service. However, he's been getting it free" while Lucca's been picking up the tab for his competitor's patrons, Schmit said.
Lucca said the bottom line shouldn't be the bottom line.
"I like the option of not driving if it means somebody going out and mowing down three people or getting a DUI," he said. "If someone gets a DUI, you've probably lost a customer."
Schmit said BarHopper could only succeed in cities with a high concentration of bars and restaurants which, she said, rules out Vallejo. If Benicia shuts down for good, she said she might pursue Martinez.
The Feb. 1 date means BarHopper won't be available for Super Bowl Sunday. With the 49ers playing, it's not unreasonable to believe many fans will be whooping it up.
The Benicia police are ready, Hartig said.
"We're putting extra officers out there looking for impaired drivers," he said.

I was surprise when I enter the apartment I was not expecting that good quality of apartment in that area. We had I feeling that we are in the 4 star hotel. I will definitely share this to my friends.
We stayed in a great apartment in a great location right at the top of the shopping street in Nice. The apartment had all the necessary equipment. But the apartment lacks air conditioning, which means you have to have the window up around the clock. And it can be both noise from traffic and odors that might be a little uncomfortable. But the apartment was great.
We were satisfied with the Studio. It is located very close to the Promenade des Anglais. The host was very kind and helpful.
My husband and I had to leave the apartment after 2 nights. It was not "amazing" as the description says and this is for several reasons:
First of all, it is way to small and stuffy. But this would not be a problem if we could at least open a window. It was like 40 degrees there and absolutely no air.
Now the actual reason, why we could not open the window: these are the neighbors one floor down. We don't know, what was going on there, but it strongly smelled like human urin. Once you open the window, the smell just hits you right into your face and it smells like this in the whole apartment within 5 minutes. Just impossible...so we had to keep the window closed.
We wrote about this problem to Salvatore (whom we also did not get to know personally, just his cousin) on the very first evening and he promised us to find another flat for me and my husband. However, he contacted us on this regard first one day later in the evening (with no solution) and we had to stay there for another night. In the morning we have checked out and had to book another hotel in a rush.
We have to admit, that having such a neighbors is not Salvatore's fault, but there must be done something about it. And the guest have to be informed about this problem!
This situation has destroyed two days of our vacation in Nice and provided us a lot of stress, bad mood and costed us money, because it was very expensive to book another hotel in such a rush.
Salvatore has transferred us money back and we appreciate it, but still first after a couple of reminders...
We are sorry Salvatore, but for these reasons we can not give you a good feedback.

Nice is a great city!!
The apartment was a fine place to stay; after 5 minutes walk you are at the beach, to the old town is a bit further to walk, but you can walk there and the supermarket is around the corner.
There are many buses in the city and also to and from the airport and the train station.
Salvatore is very helpful and kind person and he helped me with a few questions I had.
In the apartment was everything there that I needed during my stay and there was even a city map. Very useful!
I was only 1 houer in the "amazing sunny Appartment" and i leave the Appartment. I was disappointed about the Appartment. It was not sunny sorry to say that. On the pics looks good but not in real.
Everything went well. Nice, small, and tidy apartment in the center of Nice.
Get our keys at the agency office.
Salvatore is friendly and helps you with every difficulty you have with his appartements or in nice. I hope that every owner is like him.
All we could wish for! Very clean! :)
First of all Salvatore is not a private person, this is an agency which doesn't care if there are any problems. I would never recomend him as a host nor his flat. We had to go to the agency to pick up the keys but in the description of the flat at wimdu was written that we will meet at the flat. Also the stink of cat piss from the outside of the flat was so strong, that we couldn't sleep with an open window which was unbearable (it was really hot in Nice).There were also cockroaches in the flat. Last but not least we had no wifi for 2 days. We contacted the "cousin" and Salvatore (as he was our contact person) to take care about this problems and there were no reaction. Until the second complaint he came to the building to check what's wrong with the internet. Our problem with the cat piss stink wasn't resolved and therefore I will write a complaint letter to wimdu. Never again. It was the worst host & apartment & wimdu experience ever.

Neurogenic Bladder—Adult
(Neurogenic Incontinence—Adult)
Neurogenic bladder is abnormal bladder function caused by a nerve or brain problem. The bladder may empty too often or at the wrong time (incontinence) or the bladder may be unable to completely empty the urine (urinary retention). In this case, urine may leak out of the overfilled bladder and back up into the kidney.
Contact your doctor if you think you may have this condition. The sooner it is treated, the lower the chance of developing other serious conditions, such as a urinary tract infection, hydronephrosis, or kidney damage.
|Bladder With Nerves, Female
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Neurogenic bladder is caused by problems with the nerves carrying messages between the bladder and the brain or the brain itself. The nerve problems may be caused by:
- Spinal cord injury
- Tumors of the brain or spinal cord in the pelvic area
- Infection of the brain or spinal cord
- Medical conditions affecting the brain or nerves, such as:
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of developing neurogenic bladder include:
- Nerve or spinal cord conditions present since birth, such as spina bifida or spinal cord tumor
- Diabetes
- Stroke
- Other causes of brain injury such as infection or trauma
Symptoms of neurogenic bladder may include:
- Urinary incontinence
- Dribbling urine stream
- Straining during urination
- Inability to urinate (urinary retention)
- Overflow of urine from a full bladder
- Painful urination
- Recurring urinary tract infections
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be asked to keep a diary of how often you empty your bladder and other urinary habits. If your doctor thinks that your symptoms may be caused by a nerve problem, you may have some of the tests below. You may also be referred to an urologist for further evaluation and treatment.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
- Urinalysis
- Blood tests
Images may be taken of your kidneys, ureters, and bladder. This can be done with:
Other tests may be done, including:
- Bladder function tests
- Urodynamics
Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms by emptying your bladder regularly.
Treatment options include:
Behavioral Therapy
- Bladder training—setting a regular schedule to empty your bladder
- Exercises to strengthen muscles around the bladder that help control urine flow
- Painless electrical stimulation to help the function of bladder muscles
A thin tube, called a catheter, can be inserted to empty the bladder. You can learn to do this yourself or a trained healthcare professional may do it for you.
Your doctor may recommend anticholinergic drugs (antimuscarinics) or botulinum toxin injections to help control symptoms.
Surgery may be an option for severe cases when all other treatments fail. Surgical procedures include:
- Removing part of the muscle that holds the bladder closed—This allows urine to flow out into a collection tube attached to the penis (for men only).
- Inserting a tube into an opening in the abdomen—This allows urine to flow out into a collection bag.
- Using tissue from the bowel to make the bladder larger
- Replacing the bladder with a pouch made from sections of the bowel or other tissue
- Inserting a small tube-like device, called a stent, into the bladder neck to allow urine to flow out.
While most cases of neurogenic bladder cannot be prevented, people with diabetes may be able to delay or avoid the problem by carefully controlling their blood sugar levels over the long-term. Also, wearing seat belts and avoiding activities that increase the risk of spinal cord injuries will prevent neurogenic bladder from this cause.

National HIV/AIDS Strategy
Coordinated by the White House Office of National AIDS Policy.
"We recommend that the Federal government review the coordination of funding for HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, and mental health services on the Federal and State level, with the goal of increasing access to these services for patients with HIV."
"I find that my clients are underserved and lack the needed support services and medical care that affects their health and well-being."
"Understand that syringe exchange is the gateway to treatment and we need to take the obstacles and hurdles out of people getting into [care]."
"[We] support language in health insurance reform legislation prohibiting companies from refusing coverage for an individual based on their medical history or health risk."
"Negative cultural influences and stigma are big challenges for [Latinos], and we need interventions that will address core family values among the Hispanic community as well as traditionalism and machismo."
"There can be no true progress without stigma reduction. Stigma is still the REAL reason so many don't want to know their status, don't get help, or are afraid to be advocates for their own health."

This document is a companion to the National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States. It presents the Administration's plan for measuring progress toward meeting the Strategy's goals, and includes immediate and short-term Federal actions (those that can be achieved in calendar years 2010 and 2011) that will move the Nation toward improving its response to HIV/AIDS. Where appropriate, we have highlighted some longer-term actions, but our immediate emphasis has been on identifying initial steps for moving forward. In 2011, ONAP will consult with Federal agencies to develop specific actions for 2012, and the plan will be updated annually, thereafter. This is a living document-we will evaluate our progress and modify it as necessary as we achieve certain milestones or experience unanticipated setbacks. Additionally, as the Federal agencies do their work to implement the Strategy, we anticipate that new activities will also be developed.
The job of implementing the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, however, does not fall to the Federal Government alone, nor should it. The success of the Strategy will require States, tribal and local governments, communities, and other partners to work together to better coordinate their responses to HIV/AIDS at the State and local levels. Therefore, we hope that the strategy will serve as a catalyst for all levels of government and other stakeholders to develop their own implementation plans for achieving the goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy.
Reducing New HIV Infections
- Step 1: Intensify HIV prevention efforts in communities where HIV is most heavily concentrated.
- Step 2: Expand targeted efforts to prevent HIV infection using a combination of effective, evidence-based approaches.
- Step 3: Educate all Americans about the threat of HIV and how to prevent it.
Increasing Access to Care and Improving Health Outcomes for People Living with HIV
- Step 1: Create a seamless system to immediately link people to continuous and coordinated quality care when they are diagnosed with HIV.
- Step 2: Take deliberate steps to increase the number and diversity of available providers of clinical care and related services for people living with HIV.
- Step 3: Support people living with HIV with co-occurring health conditions and those who have challenges meeting their basic needs, such as housing.
Reducing HIV-Related Health Disparities
- Step 1: Reduce HIV-related mortality in communities at high risk for HIV infection.
- Step 2: Adopt community-level approaches to reduce HIV infection in high-risk communities.
- Step 3: Reduce stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV.
Achieving a More Coordinated National Response to the HIV Epidemic in the United States
- Step 1: Increase the coordination of HIV programs across the Federal government and between Federal agencies and state, territorial, tribal, and local governments.
- Step 2: Develop improved mechanisms to monitor, evaluate, and report on progress toward achieving national goals.
President's Memorandum to Federal Agencies
To launch the implementation of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, President Obama issued on July 13, 2010, the following message to the Cabinet Secretaries and heads of all Federal agencies involved in implementing the strategy.
As we approach the thirtieth year of an HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States, new actions are needed to prevent HIV infection and better serve people living with HIV. The actions we take now will build upon a legacy of global leadership, sustained national commitment, and heroic efforts on the part of Americans from all parts of the country and all walks of life to end the HIV epidemic in the United States and around the world. I am committed to renewing national leadership to fight HIV/AIDS here at home, as we continue our efforts to fight HIV/AIDS around the world. My Administration has engaged in an extensive process to engage Americans and listen to their ideas for improving our national response to HIV/AIDS.
Today, I am releasing a National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States (Strategy) and a National HIV/AIDS Strategy Federal Implementation Plan (Federal Implementation Plan) which identifies specific actions to taken by Federal agencies to implement the Strategy's goals. While we already do many things right in addressing HIV/AIDS, successful implementation of the Strategy will require new levels of coordination, collaboration, and accountability. This will require the Federal Government to work in new ways across agency lines, as well as in enhanced and innovative partnerships with State, tribal, and local governments. Government cooperation at all levels, however, is not enough. Success will require the commitment of all parts of society, including businesses, faith communities, philanthropic organizations, the scientific and medical communities, educational institutions, people living with HIV, and others. It is also necessary to sustain public commitment to ending the epidemic, and this calls for regular communications between governments at all levels to identify the challenges we face and report the progress we are making.
The President's Memorandum to Federal Agencies is divided into six sections:

The Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA) will play an advisory role in the implementation and monitoring of the NHAS.
Community Ideas Report
"I am tired of telling teenagers that their HIV test is positive... Every 17-year-old I diagnose with HIV represents 60 to 80 years of transmission potential [and] each represents nearly a million dollars in healthcare costs over their lifetime."
"All too often, people suffering from multiple chronic conditions receive little to no coordination of their health care from the various specialists that they regularly interact with. Adapt chronic health care models that emphasize outpatient primary care, patient education, and multiple-condition health care coordination."
"Let people of color develop their own messages that work, not outside people telling them how and what they need to do. Help develop and educate grassroots CBOs and ASOs about how to serve the community they are in."

I know that one was just done but I wanted to be a little more specific.
I know that one was just done but I wanted to be a little more specific.
I think that there must be more people out there who use apistan. One guy is not supporting the entire business! Speak up! That is the only way to make an accurate poll, if everyone pitches in.
Good luck w/ that. I've never seen a poll that had that much participation anywhere, let alone beeosurce.
Mark Berninghausen
I know... just trying to stir the pot (:
I don't think this kind of poll is going to provide any accurate info. Only 4 people have said they use Apistan and 29 who have never used it. Yet I know many people who use Apistan. Oh well... It is still interesting (:
Oh, I took Never as in Never use it any more, not Never used it. I used it when it first came out. There wasn't anything else to use. But I stopped using it when it became ineffective. So I "Never" use it anymore. There are other things to spend my time and money on.
That being said, a friend of mine who doesn't do beesource, so isn't going to vote, uses it annually and leaves the strips in his hives. He says that the ones that make it through the winter are the ones w/ the strips in them. The dead ones don't. I don't know if that's a good cause and effect assumption to make. I know it is against label recommendations. It does show up in his honey, but well below the tolerance level, extremely well below. According to the lab reports that I have seen.
Maybe you could clarify your poll, but it doesn't look like you are going to get much response more than what you have gotten. But don't let me discourage you.
Mark Berninghausen
Need to put one more on your list have used it in the past but dont use it any more.
Great idea. I'll give it a try...

Does anyone know how to change a poll already posted?
Ya, I use to use it, dont anymore, so I voted never. I will never choose it to control the v mite problems again mainly becasue of resistance problems
I've never used it. The figures I would like to see would be the productivity (honey production and splits) and dead outs of those operations that recently started using Apistan (within the last year), those that have been using it for more than 5 years, and those that have never used it. I think that would yield some really useful information.
I'm honestly a bit surprised it's still available. Ignoring that mites were becoming increasingly resistant to it (which may be much less of a problem now that very few people use it to my knowledge), it has significant negative side affects that ultimately can lead to poorly mated queens and superceedure or hive failure.
We found with some of the chemicals (specifically fluvalinate,
the active ingredient in Apistan) sperm reduction in
drones over 50 percent. Weve not seen any significant effects
(of Apistan) on the queen. - http://www.wasba.org/newsletters/0402news.pdf
Checkmite has similar issues:
"Drones exposed to coumaphos (recommended dose on the label) during development and sexual maturation had significantly reduced sperm viability which continued to decrease over a six week sampling period " - http://www.beeculture.com/storycms/i...y&recordID=626
I get why they were used originally, bees were dieing faster than we could breed them or come up with alternate methods. But at this point there are plenty of other management techniques and treatments that work as well as bees that seem to be at least more tolerant of varroa.
>>I must say that it is still an effective way to combat vm by many people
doubt that
Doesnt work here, due to resistance problems. Resistace problems are pretty much across the continent now
You can still get it because people will still buy it. It doesn't work round here but there are still people putting it in hives. A couple of years ago I acquired a hive with six strips in it, all linked together and apparently put in at the same time.

Wow, that's a little overboard. And then we wonder why there is resistance...I acquired a hive with six strips in it
