text: I did some research on front-7 players for Kiffin's defense. In 2012 Chicago and Seattle had Defensive Coordinators that were previous Kiffin assistants. Kiffin's last year in Tampa Bay was 2008. WDE - Similar to a 3-4 OLB. (Ware's new position) SDE - Similar to a 3-4 DE. (Red Bryant in Seattle, 6-4, 323) WDT - A gap-penetrating inside player (made famous by Warren Sapp). SDT - A 1-tech. Takes on double-teams but is a 1-gap player. While the "Weak" side linemen tend to be smaller than on the Strong-Side, that's not necessarily true with the LBs.

Personally I'd Love to see Uncharted and Naughty Dog Paw Print T-shirts, Keyrings, Maybe some prints or concept art, Signed stuff!!!! Maybe even some Crash Bandicoot Stuff!?
But most of all, Id love to be able to get my handed on Statues, Uncharted Scenes like Drake beside an exploding Jeep or Something like that! Characters in Action or replica stuff like Spanish Gold Coins From Uncharted 1, Miniture El Darado Statue or from Unchated 2 a Purba Dagger or Copies of Drakes Journal I think would be cool!

We'll making a bigger effort, due to your demands, to try to get things like posters and t-shirts and more made for both Uncharted and the studio -- the novel announcement a few months back is one of the fruits of our labor. I'll try to do more to keep you all updated with what is available out there. It's hard to do that without coming across like i'm trying to tell you on it though.

Simulating Automation
Software designed for simulating and controlling machine-tending robots can help avoid collisions, protect equipment and simplify the setup of automated cells.
ABB's RobotStudio software enables the offline programming of robots.
When equipped with the Machine Tending PowerPac add-on, the system can simulate the complete tending cycle of a robotic cell.
Robotic cell automation has the potential to improve machine utilization, reduce costs, even increase worker safety—but only if the robots are set up and functioning properly. ABB Robotics has developed an add-on for its PC-based RobotStudio software that enables users to check the operation of a robotic cell before costly mistakes are made on the shop floor.
The Machine Tending PowerPac add-on is designed to help get a robotic cell up and running safely. The program includes a vast library of grippers and station types along with support for most machines and peripheral equipment. This data enables the system to realistically simulate, validate and optimize a robotic cell in the 3D virtual world before the system is put to work, even before the components are physically installed if necessary. According to the company, everything from cycle times to collision risks can be visualized through the software, improving productivity and preventing crashes.
Visit ABB's website to learn more about its machine-tending software offerings.

Atherton needs to Dump JPA Library System
Original post made by think outside the box, Atherton: other, on Jun 22, 2012
Web Link
Throughout California and the United States there is a growing movement to outsource library services for small communities and towns as regional public library consortiums become too costly primarily with administrative and public employee salaries and pensions. Many California communities have contracted with Library Systems & Services (LSSI), and this company would be a perfect solution for Atherton to become independent of a the JPA which is a regional library system that does not have the interests of our town at heart but is intent on establishing a community center in the Park for a population outside Atherton. Basically that is the heart of the matter and residents should be allowed to decide if they want that by a direct vote. A smaller new, remodeled library in its present location or part of a master town center concept is the obvious solution with the library operated by a private company who can provide the efficiencies of operation, purchasing, and service the needs of Atherton alone.

Good comments. The JPA has worked for years for Atherton as things currently exist. The JPA does host many county events at the library and moving the library to the park will make those events bigger.
One issue becomes all the behind closed door tactics. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent already to move the library to the park. The week the council approved to spend another $24,000.00.
In the last two months the JPA voted to keep Atherton's $700,000 annual surplus with Kathy McKeithen voting in favor. Other members of the council were not informed of the JPA vote. McKeithen is on the JPA. By keeping the surplus the JPA can spend it with council approval.
Why is McKeithen fighting so hard to build this library and turn over Atherton's park to the JPA for events?
a resident of Atherton: West of Alameda

Why on earth do Atherton residents re-elect McKeithen? Why is she still in office??? Is she up for re-election this November? If so, it's time to vote her out of office!
Atherton residents are among the most educated and successful people in the world! For McKeithen to think that the library is "too complex" for us to understand is extremely insulting. As an elected representative of the people, if she can't explain the issue, then voters should continue to question the issue, the process, the motive, etc. Then, voters should vote her out of office in favor of someone who favors transparency and a say as to how our tax dollars are spent!
No More McKeithen!

Petition for Special Meeting of Town Council on the new library and the library JPA.
The location of the new upgraded Town library has become a very controversial issue. Here is a citizens' petition for a Special Meeting of the Town Council with an agenda that gives the citizens the opportunity to speak out on various aspects of this issue.
If you agree that such a meeting is appropriate then please sign the petition.

Gimme a break! - so you consider yourselves some of the most educated people in the country, yet your small town is so continuously embroiled in ridiculous politics, disagreements, fights, scandals and clearly can't deal with issues large and small.
Perhaps too many of the townspeople pay too much attention to how Palo Alto does things - that is to say, doesn't get things done and has screwed up priorities? If you want your issues to be taken seriously by your elected officials and residents, then your residents need to grow up and elect people capable of leading. Good luck getting rid of politicos whose agendas shriek loud and clear beyond your pretentious, er, prestigious borders.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Hide lines
I arrived in Aioun yesterday and am getting myself ready to head back to Awaynatt, but thought I would catch up with you all and let you know what has been happening these past few weeks.
Right before Christmas, a few of us took a few days to work ourselves over to Nouakchott for the annual Christmas feast. We made stops in Kiffa and Aleg and had the chance to catch up with friends we had not seen since we all swore in as PCVs. Then, on the 24th, we all set course for the capital. While I am sure for the casual observer Nouakchott is not the most memorable of capitals, to us, it is a veritable wonderland; a place where you can find just about anything you want. There was a BIG Xmas party, and I am pretty sure just about every American in this country was there, with the cooking committee concocting quite a spread for Xmas Eve and Xmas Day. It was a nice start to a great little vacation.
After Xmas, we all started working our way down to St. Louis, Senegal for a week of relaxing. I wish I had more to tell you, but that is pretty much all we did. I stayed in a cabana on the beach and spent my days by the water and my evenings in town frequenting the local drinking establishments.
Once we returned to Mauritania, we were met with a week of meetings and sessions in Nouakchott. In Peace Corps terminology is called Early Term Reconnect, which basically means we all meet up after four months at our respective sites to share experiences and attend a variety of sessions pertaining to our respective fields. I also had the chance to meet with a Rotarian from the Rotary Club of Nouakchott. We had a nice talk about my scholarship experiences as well as the work on which their club is working. Hopefully, over the next year or so we will be able to collaborate on one or two projects. After that I started working my way back east....and here I am!
Now that I have been here for a while and had the chance to see and speak with everyone again, I am starting to realize what this experience means for me. Like everyone else, I joined the Peace Corps for altruistic reasons, but it is a great feeling to realize my work is actually accomplishing something. I think Jackie and I are luckier than most in that the people in our site have wholeheartedly embraced what we are there to do. While Mauritania and Peace Corps have long had friendly relations, some communities are definitely more receptive than others. And while there is most definitely a long way to go, it seems as if what we are doing there with the GMC will have lasting effects. Over the coming months, we are going to continue in the same manner as we have been, with the goal of sustainability, as well as incorporate a few new ideas and sessions we picked up in last week's meetings.
In addition, Mauritania itself has proved to provide quite an experience so far. On the whole, once people know who I am and why I am here they could not be happier to meet me. My experiences have shown me that the people of Mauritania (especially the younger generations) are keen on learning as much as they can...they are just looking for the opportunities. I will not lie, it is not the easiest country to live in, but the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
In terms of politics, this seems to be one of the most important (and exciting times) in recent history. No on really knows what is going to happen and are basically just holding their breaths. While we all stay far removed from Mauritanian politics and political discussions, it is clear the people here have politics on their minds. The change in the world economy has begun to affect us here, with clear downturns in the fishing, minerals, and petroleum industries. Seeing that those are the backbone of the economy here, there are bound to be consequences, but none of us really know what it going to happen right now. The past month has been marked by a number of protests around the country, concerning a variety of issues and a meeting of 1500 influential Mauritanians just concluded, announcing there will be presidential elections on 30 May 2009. Long story short, it is an exciting time to be here. In terms of security, we are all plenty safe, so no worries there. We are all just taking in the experience of being curious bystanders in a curious time.
That is about all I have for you. Thank you all for your holiday greetings, and I hope you all are well. I posted a few pictures for St. Louis for you. I am starting to realize I am a horrible photographer in that while I always carry a camera, I never seem to take any pictures... In any event, enjoy!

The silly season is in full swing, and the health and fitness switch is nearly in off mode. One advantage of being in New Zealand is that the price of fruit and vegetables is usually more forgiving at this time of year, and there is a large variety to choose from.
The good news is this Christmas you don't have to focus on missing out on mince pies or feeling guilty about enjoying endless Christmas lunches. The following are some easy ways to minimise the Christmas kilos without missing out on your favourite festive food and drink.
When alcohol is consumed the body will prioritise the processing of it because it is a toxic substance.
In New Zealand we haven't quite grasped a complete definition of moderation, so if we can understand how the body works it is easier to minimise the effects of alcohol and enjoy your preferred drink of choice.
The answer to this question is subjective. Most alcohol is going to have a similar effect on liver function, which can affect how we metabolise our food and increase the production of blood cholesterol.
The lower the percentage of alcohol, the easier it will be for the liver to recover.
Eating particular foods on the day of drinking alcohol can assist the liver in recovery and minimise the risk of a hangover the next day.
The frequency and rate of consumption can be more detrimental than the type of alcohol. Even avoiding alcohol will not necessarily help you fend off the Christmas kilos.
Alternatives to alcohol can still be high in calories and sugar. Opting for water or soda water alternatives, and adding your own flavourings such as fresh herbs and berries, is a healthy option between drinks.
Like a good exercise plan, it is important to have rest days away from drinking. Minimise drinking alcohol at home for the sake of it and leave it to your social occasions.
At this time of year this can be most days, so include fruit and vegetables such as cucumber, tomatoes, oranges, broccoli or carrots where possible on the same day as drinking.
Eating carbohydrates high in water on the day of drinking alcohol can also help, such as kumara, potato, pumpkin, parsnip, beetroot or rice.
Be mindful of your portion size and ensure you serve them with a good source of lean protein to keep you satisfied for longer. These sources of carbohydrates contain the most water content when eaten closest to their natural form.
It is usually how we prepare potatoes that give them a bad a reputation - steaming or microwaving can help retain more nutrients.
Chlorophyll is what makes vegetables green and it is helpful for fighting free radicals, and can minimise premature ageing and help protect against cancers.
Chlorophyll can be affected by the cooking process, so aim to only lightly cook vegetables if the cooked colour is significantly different to the raw version.
Green vegetables are a good source of absorbable multivitamins - they are rich in iron, calcium, potassium and magnesium, which are important for fluid balance. They also can contain vitamins K, C, E and a few of the B vitamins for energy.
Their natural fibre content can help stablise blood sugar and keep you feeling fuller for longer.
Preparing your body to handle the foods and drinks that you love is the easiest way to stay in shape this summer. However, in our fast-paced lives we often don't know what the day will bring. If an impromptu alcohol-drinking opportunity presents itself and you haven't prepared your body earlier that day, you can help your liver by "retoxing" the next day.
1. Have an alcohol-free day the next day, or start the day with coconut water, a banana, apple, orange and probiotic yoghurt.
2. Choose a lunch that includes rice or root vegetables as the carbohydrate source.
3. Match the carbohydrate with your favourite protein food to help sustain your appetite.
4. Minimise dry carbohydrates such as crackers, bread, pastries, wraps and muesli bars that provide little water content for the body to recover.
5. Include vegetables such as tomatoes, broccoli, celery or carrots to help minimise inflammation.
6. Watch your portion size at dinner if you have been out for lunch on the same day.

Saturday: Friends of Edgewood Park celebrate
Original post made on May 10, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Friday, May 10, 2013, 11:24 AM
a resident of Woodside: Emerald Hills
on May 10, 2013 at 1:46 pm
A history of Edgewood Park is in order. See:
Web Link
Here's a related posting of mine from "Butterflies and Edgewood Park" Web Link
All, don't miss the "Free Family Friendly Birthday party" for "Edgewood County Park and Natural Preserve" on May 11, at 1 P.M.
Don't bring the family dog, and please, no bicycles! Horsies are allowed in some locations. Forget about golf clubs.
This will celebrate the "taking" of public land, which should have been a revenue producing golf course. There was a proposal in which 453 acres of undeveloped land would be designated for a "pay its own way" golf course that would be designed so as to protect the checkerspot butterflies on the site. A large number of so-called "environmentalists" showed up to protest this reasonable allocation of land uses. The Board listened to the noise of protest. They decided to "give" the land over to the few people who hike on it.
Entertainment will include:
Premier of puppet skit - "It Could Have Been A Golf Course"
Craft stations, including making an origami Bay Checkerspot butterfly.
As you enjoy this celebration, remember that it was these same so-called "environmentalists" who brought us the re-alignment of I280 in 1969 which added an extra mile to your commute. That equates to 15.5 million vehicle miles per year, 620,000 gallons of fossil fuel/year and 260,000 man hours of additional travel time/year. Oh, and did someone mention that the exhaust emissions into Edgewood Park wrought havoc on the Checkerspot habitat?

text: I am an avid Water Gardener and a new Beekeeper. I set up a water garden for my Bees before I set up the hives since I have read how important a water supply is to the Bees and wanted to give them the best possible home. I set up a round preformed pool and planted some submerged plants to help keep the water clean and a few fish to be my Mosquito Control, and then I added floating plants for the Bees to land on so it would be easier for them to get some water. I soon found that my Bees were visiting the water quite often and their favorite plant was the floating Salvinia. This plant is perfect for them since it is small and floats on the water but is strong enough for them to land on without ending up in the water. I would definitely recommend this plant for any size water container that Bees visit.

In summer, construction on campus – and there's lots – doesn't take a vacation
As students return home for summer or scale back their course work, colleges and universities ramp up construction.
Close to $1 billion for the construction and renovation of academic buildings, residence halls and welcome centers at Southeast Michigan universities and colleges has been spent since 2012 or will be spent in the next two years.
Some schools are embarking on ambitious projects like Wayne State University's $90 million Multipurpose Biomedical Research Building, the largest WSU construction project ever in terms of cost.
Similarly, Eastern Michigan University spent $90 million on a 256,000-square-foot science complex, completed in 2012 for the biology, chemistry, psychology, physics and astronomy, and geography and geology departments on the western end of campus off Oakwood Street in Ypsilanti. The project is also the largest in EMU history.
Others, like the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, are continuing their tradition of large construction projects, with two valued at more than $100 million, each expected to finish by 2016.
Some university planning and construction officials are seeing an uptick in construction on their campuses, while others such as EMU are in more of a lull after large capital spending campaigns in recent years.
"You didn't see any new permits being acquired," said Joseph Veryser, university architect at Lawrence Technological University in Southfield. "It was a dramatic slowdown, and it was very sudden and just stayed flat for a long time. In the past year, I have seen a comeback."
Scott Storrar, director of facilities and planning and construction for EMU, said that although higher education construction spending and projects have increased across the country, EMU is spending $10 million a year, which is average for the Ypsilanti school.
"For us specifically, I think we are doing what we typically do from a localized standpoint," Storrar said.
Margie Simmons, former CEO of Texas-based SHW Group LLC, an architectural, engineering and planning firm that focuses solely on higher education and K-12 clients, said universities and colleges are constructing and renovating more science buildings and residence halls to keep up with the demand for knowledge-based jobs and the increasing demand for better living amenities for students.
"Students today have expectations about where they are going to live and the type of student life they are going to have," she said. "Most universities are either renovating or building new residences.
"There is competition for the best and brightest students, and one of the ways to attract them is to offer the type of housing and student life they desire."
Simmons' company, which has an office in Berkley, designed the University of Michigan-Dearborn's $51 million science building, expected to be completed in 2016. SHW also has designed the $89 million biosciences building at Central Michigan University, expected to open in the fall of 2017, and the $65 million, 150,000-square-foot Mary Idema Pew Library, which opened last year and replaced the James H. Zumberge Library at Grand Valley State University. (See story.)
SHW Group, which has about 110 employees in Berkley, was purchased last month by Edmonton, Alberta-based Stantec Inc., which has offices in Farmington Hills, Ann Arbor and Okemos. Simmons, who is based in Berkley, is now the vice president and global leader of Stantec's education sector.
"There is definitely a need" for new capital projects, Simmons said. "Public colleges and universities need the funding for new buildings to support increased enrollments in certain instances but also to basically change the space so they can provide the programs that employers in the state want."
Here's a look at the current and upcoming projects:
University of Michigan
Among Southeast Michigan universities, UM has far and away the most construction projects planned or underway, totaling nearly $800 million.
Among them: a $185 million residence hall for about 600 graduate students. The Munger Graduate Residences project, expected to be complete in the summer of 2015, is an eight-story, 370,000-square-foot building designed by Troy-based Integrated Design Solutions LLC and built by Detroit-based Walbridge Aldinger Co.
UM also plans a $114.5 million, one-year project to renovate the West Quadrangle and Michigan Union-Cambridge House. Integrated Design Solutions and Walbridge Aldinger are the contractors on that project, as well, which is expected to be complete in summer 2015.
Other large projects include the George Brown Memorial Laboratories mechanical engineering addition and renovation, a project with a $93 million price tag. It's expected to be complete this summer after starting construction in the fall of 2011. Integrated Design Solutions is the architect on the project, while the construction contractors are Novi-based DeMaria Building Co. Inc. and Lansing-based Granger Construction Co.
Wayne State University
The Multipurpose Biomedical Research Building, at the corner of Woodward Avenue and Piquette Street, will be 200,000 square feet for the departments of WSU's School of Medicine.
When completed, the research building will house programs in cardiovascular disease; metabolic disorders such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity; bioinformatics and computational biology; and biomedical engineering. It is expected to house hundreds of researchers.
Harley Ellis Devereaux Corp. is the architect and Barton Malow Co. the project manager for the biomed center. Both companies are based in Southfield.
The center is expected to be completed by April 2015, said Anne Vandenbussche, director of design and construction services for WSU.
"The main structure is in place, and dollarwise, it's about 40 to 50 percent complete," said Vandenbussche, who was hired by WSU nine years ago.
"Since I've started, we've not had many large construction projects, whereas UM or MSU have some virtually every year. But things are moving a little faster for us. We are seeing more and more opportunity to develop the campus because more people are interested in it."
The WSU board also approved $13.5 million for electrical projects on campus and $6 million for renovations to the Alex Manoogian Building on West Warren Avenue. Contracts for those projects have not yet been awarded.
Lawrence Technological University
At LTU, a $11.6 million residence hall for about 160 students is planned to be completed by the fall of 2015, while the $17 million first phase of the $55 million, 125,000-square-foot A. Alfred Taubman Engineering, Life Sciences and Architecture Complex is expected to be complete by the spring of 2016.
"We don't do much construction or many new projects here," Veryser said. These, however, are exceptions.
In addition, a December groundbreaking ceremony was held for a $7 million building at Woodward Avenue and Willis Street in Midtown that will house a new LTU Detroit Center for Design + Technology. The university is expected to occupy the building by October. The Monahan Co. in Eastpointe is the construction manager of the project site.
The 48,000-square-foot residence hall will be the third for LTU students. Farmington Hills-based JPRA Architects is the architect of the project, while University Housing Solutions and Adena Corp., both based out of Mansfield, Ohio, are responsible for the development, design and construction.
Bidding for the construction contractor on the Taubman complex is expected next month. The design architect is Morphosis, which has offices in New York City and Culver City, Calif. The architect of record is Detroit-based Albert Kahn Associates Inc.
Bids for construction on the Taubman project are due June 23, and a contract is expected to be awarded by the middle of August.
University of Detroit Mercy
Between 2011 and 2012, UDM has completed construction on an $8.3 million student fitness center, a $4.9 million renovation of its chemistry building and a $1.3 million renovation of the George J. Asher Law Clinic Center.
The 39,000-square-foot fitness center, on the university's McNichols Road campus, was finished in fall 2011. The Monahan Co. was the construction contractor, and the architect was Bloomfield Hills-based TMP Associates Inc.
Those companies were also the contractors on the renovation of 18,000 square feet in the 49,000-square-foot chemistry building, work completed in May 2011.
Farmington Hills-based McCarthy & Smith Inc. was the construction contractor on the law clinic, while Wyandotte-based Thomas Roberts Architect LLC was the architect.
Eastern Michigan University
The new science complex dwarfs recent EMU projects in terms of size and scope. Others include a $2.16 million renovation of the Hoyt Residence Hall, completed in August 2012; a $2.3 million renovation of the Best Residence Hall, completed in August 2013; and a $3.6 million renovation of Rackham Hall, completed this spring.
Walsh College
Walsh is also spending $15 million to renovate its original Troy campus building by the end of 2015. That project will involve renovations and additions to the 110,000-square-foot building, including a new student center and expanded business communications department.
The project architect is Chicago-based Valerio Dewalt Train Associates, the same firm that designed the 37,000-square-foot Jeffery W. Barry Center on campus.
Schoolcraft College
Schoolcraft College this month expects to complete a $10.67 million building renovation that will house college administration, human resources and business services.
The project started in May 2013, two months after Schoolcraft purchased the former American Community Mutual Insurance Co. building at Seven Mile and Haggerty roads in Livonia for $3.44 million. The vacant building was constructed in 1980.
Oakland Community College
New construction at Oakland Community College has come to a halt. But OCC — the state's largest community college, with nearly 27,000 students — is tearing down the 69,000-square-foot Highland Hall building on the Highland Lakes campus in Waterford Township in a $1.4 million effort to use that area as green space, said Dan Cherewick, director of physical facilities for OCC.
The building, a former tuberculosis sanitarium built in 1927, is expected to be demolished by the end of August, he said.
"What we are trying to do is put our resources not into the buildings themselves; we are maintaining what we have," OCC Chancellor Tim Meyer said.
"We are putting our focus and emphasis into our programming areas."
However, a big project could be on the horizon. OCC has been purchasing property in Southfield recently for a possible expansion of its campus south of Nine Mile Road and east of Northwestern Highway.
In March, OCC purchased the 296,000-square-foot North Park Plaza building out of foreclosure for $2.5 million from Evanston, Ill.-based First Bank & Trust. OCC also bought 5 acres near that building from the city of Southfield and the Southfield Downtown Development Authority for $2.2 million. The land was the site of a Ramada Inn before demolition began last August.

The apartment is well equipped and the roof terrace has the good impression completely. The apartment was clean on arrival and bed linen and towels were provided. The location was very easy to reach by metro and the district, all major shopping. The communication via email went super fast and all our wishes regarding check-in and check-out could be met. We were greeted at reception
taken and passed. If the apartment at any time book again and can only recommend this host!
Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet und die Dachterrasse hat der guten Eindruck komplett gemacht. Die Wohnung war bei Ankunft sauber und Bettwäsche und Handtücher lagen bereit. Die Lage war sehr gut mit der Metro zu erreichen und das Viertel bietet alle wichtigen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Die Kommunikation per Email ging super schnell und allen unseren Wünschen bezüglich Check-in und Check-out konnte entsprochen werden. Wir wurden freundlich in Empfang
genommen und verabschiedet. Würde die Wohnung jederzeit wieder buchen und kann diesen Gastgeber nur empfehlen!
Dani is the best host ever!!! We had a wonderful time in Barcelona. The flat is wonderful and has everything you need for a perfect stay. Everything is nearby: supermarket (2min), fruit shop (1min), underground (2min) and the Sagrade de Familia (8min). Dani is more than friendly, waited the whole night for our delayed flight and helped where he could. We will be back soon ;-)
Thank you for everything!
Just Perfect .......
Handover upon arrival and departure super time
Nice apartment, clean and tidy.
In the kitchen and everything else available.
We can safely recommend the apartment actually.
Einfach Perfekt.......
Wohnungsübergabe bei An- und Abreise superpünktlich
Schöne Wohnung, sauber und ordentlich.
In der Küche und auch sonst alles vorhanden.
Wir können die Wohnung eigentlich bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen.
Good service. Dani was quick to answer my inquiries. The checkin process was very uncomplicated and the girl meeting us was nice to deal with.
The refrigerator was out of order but after I called Dani in the morning he quickly came over and took care of the problem. When we came back in the afternoon the refrigerator was working again.
The apartment was reasonably clean and the bedrooms were acceptable. One room has no a/c but all the other have. All a/c are modern and silent.
We used to take a taxi to the marina and the drive is about 10 minutes and quite cheap. I would recommend Dani and his company for anyone who wishes and uncomplicated stay in Barcelona.
The location was perfect for exploring the city, the apartment was great value for money and I would recommend it to anybody who is visiting the city.
it is not 5 star but you do get a clean and well presented apartment which is sufficient and serves its purpose.
I would not hesitate to reserve this apartment again when I am next visiting the city.
Dani was very flexible and really done his best to accommodate us all as we were a party of 6 who arrived/departed at different times on different flights, well done Dani and thank you.
My stay was very nice, spacious, well located, no noises apartment, everything within reach, transportation, supermarkets, shops ....... Sagrada Familia .... a terrace for gatherings and no unpleasant surprises, take the opportunity to say hello to Dani, my first contact, as José María already received your lady I was in the farewell. I recommend it.
Mi estancia fue muy agradable, el apartamento muy espacioso, bien situado, nada de ruidos, todo al alcance: medios de transportes, supermercados,tiendas ....... Sagrada Familia ....una terraza para las tertulias y nada de sorpresas desagradables, aprovecho para saludar a Dani, mi primer contacto, como a José María que me recibió y a su señora que estuvo en las despedida. Lo recomiendo.
The apartment is highly recommended. Newly renovated, clean, centrally located, well equipped. Located in the 2nd floor is accessed via a narrow staircase or a small lift to fit into the two persons.
The living room is oriented toward the street to the front, the bedrooms situated to the rear in the direction of a courtyard and quiet. Also, from the other inhabitants of the house we have / barely heard anything.
Check with Dani was smooth, he is friendly and accommodating, answered questions and, upon request, advice on restaurants or shopping. For small children I would flat area and not necessarily found with it.
We were 6 adults there, including 3 pairs. That was just right!
Thank you Dani, we will come back
Die Wohnung ist absolut empfehlenswert. Frisch renoviert, sauber, zentral gelegen, gut ausgestattet. Im 2 Stock gelegen ist sie über eine schmale Treppe oder einen kleinen Aufzug, in den 2 Personen passen, zu erreichen.
Das Wohnzimmer ist nach vorne zur Straße hin gerichtet, die Schlafräume nach hinten in Richtung eines Innenhofes und ruhig gelegen. Auch von den anderen Bewohnern des Hauses haben wir nichts/kaum etwas gehört.
Einchecken mit Dani war problemlos, er ist freundlich und entgegenkommend, hat Fragen beantwortet und auf Anfrage auch Tipps für Restaurants oder Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gegeben. Für kleiner Kinder würde ich Gegend und Wohnung nicht unbedingt empfehen.
Wir waren mit 6 Erwachsenen dort, davon 3 Paare. Das hat einfach gepasst!
Vielen Dank Dani, wir kommen gerne wieder
If you are looking at this apartment, I will definitely suggest you to book it straight away! 3 bedrooms (with proper double bed in each one), 2 bathrooms, a HUGE living room and kitchen, all together they make the perfect accommodation for small groups like ours. The whole house was very tidy, with clean linen and towels provided. It is also conveniently located as the central Placa Catalunya is only 15 minutes walking distance away. Dani is a very professional person, always available for any kind of request. I strongly recommend this place!

UTIs Are Getting Tougher to Treat »
"April 29, 2015 -- If you've ever had one (or a dozen) urinary tract infections, you might not be surprised to learn that they're the most common bacterial infections in the United States.
What you might not know is that doctors are running "...
Furadantin Consumer (continued)
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
This medication may cause your urine to turn dark yellow or brown in color. This is usually a harmless, temporary effect and will disappear when the medication is stopped. However, dark brown urine can also be a sign of rare side effects (liver problems or anemia). Therefore, seek immediate medical attention if you notice dark urine along with any of the following symptoms: persistent nausea/vomiting, stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin, tiredness, fast/pounding heartbeat.
Tell your doctor immediately if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: eye pain, vision changes, mental/mood changes, persistent/severe headaches, new signs of infection (e.g., fever, persistent sore throat), easy bruising/bleeding.
Seek immediate medical attention if you develop the following rare but very serious side effects: numbness/tingling of the hands/feet, unusual muscle weakness.
This medication may rarely cause very serious (possibly fatal) lung problems. Lung problems may occur within the first month of treatment or after long-term use of nitrofurantoin (generally for 6 months or longer). Get medical help right away if you develop symptoms of lung problems, including: persistent cough, chest pain, shortness of breath/trouble breathing, joint/muscle pain, bluish/purplish skin.

The release of Hey Rosetta's Juno nominated album Seeds triggered a connection between lead singer Tim Baker and USC Canada's global Seeds of Survival program. Taking a "break" from the band's busy touring schedule, Tim recently travelled with USC into the mountains of Honduras to see the seeds and the food sovereignty work being done down there. Here's what he wrote about it.

So out of the two in your opinion, which is the better car for the U.S. market? I want you to take your time researching each car and please don't base your opinion on the cars' styling, we all know the 500 looks better. My friend thinks the Fiat is better, but I'm pulling for the Fit. So comment and opinionate!
Depending on which transmission you get with the base models, the Fiat is going to be superior no matter what. 6spd. auto compared to the Fit's 5spd. and the 500's 100hp may be lower than the Fit's but the 6spd. more than makes up for the lack of grunt.You can go to the WOT section right now and look for the article on the Fiat 500 Sport model that will have a more powerful 1.4T, but with less of the goodies of the Abarth model.
--------------------------------Something stinks and it ain't me. E-thugs: always looking for a fight, no matter how meaningless.I drank all of RL's rum.
Not sure if this link works but here is a comparison I did with the 2012 models:LINKSo here is the jist of what I am seeing by this side by side comparison. Fiat seems to have the upper hand at first glance with Sportier Ride, MPG, and options at neck to neck pricing.The FIT though has more room and very similar MPG and does NOT require premium fuel. The big negative for me on the FIT is the use of DRUM REAR BRAKES where the 500 is all disc. Being so close this needs to be decided by a drive off back to back and see which one does it for you or your friend.
Take my time and research it? That is not going to happen. Do the fricken research yourself lazy ass. And besides, I own a Fit! I don't have to do the research. I would buy one over a 500 anyday. One, the Fit has two more doors. Two, it has like 3 times the cargo capacity of the 500. Three, it has old Honda build quality(as opposed to new Honda crappiness).Need I say more?
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><Current Ride: Previous Rides:2005 Ford Escape Limited V6 4WDI experience extreme mood swings that can be set off by little things that tick me off. So if I am rude to you for no good reason, I apologize.
LOL take your time and do the research for me...geezzz....I would buy used!
1. Don't ask others to do research for you. You want others' opinions, that's fine. But do your own research.2. I personally don't believe the microcar thing that's big in Europe carries over very well in the US. The reason for this is simple: we have more space in terms of land & roads. Compact cars are fine, but at some point, it becomes unnecessarily small, even for the biggest of the US cities.3. Keeping that in mind, the Fiat 500 Abarth looks like it'd be tremendous fun to toss around. The problem is that it seems like it's barely bigger than the golf cart we all know as the Smart ForTwo.4. Realistically, a Fit Sport with a manual would probably provide just enough fun while the four door hatchback style contributes more space than you'd think would come from such a small package.
-------------------I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone. - Steven Wright
My gosh, guys. I did my research, why the hell do you think I'm pulling for the Fit? People like to base their opinions on what it looks like. I just wanted them to research them, so they can make a valid decision based on that. I'm not asking you guys to research them for me, I'm asking you to research them so you don't look like an idiot.
Too late.
---------------------------------------------------On the internet you can be anything you want. Its strange that so many people choose to be stupid.
I'd probably go with the Fit 5-speed manual until the mid-level Fiat turbo comes out. The Fit is way more practical with the cargo space and supposedly very fun to drive. I'd skip either one for a Sonic turbo, though.
Is this even a real question, which is better for the US market? Americans like thier space, which the Fit has, and 500 does not.

Fit. Far more practical, going to ride better (longer wheelbase makes it far less jumpy), and the number of gears in the automatics doesn't matter because the Fit will still be easier to merge with and will still get damned near the same real world economy. Will it rev higher down the freeway? Yes. But it won't have to hunt nearly as much.The Fit is obviously the better car for the market because it's actually meant to fit peoples needs. The Fiat is a toy for those who care about fashion and retro with minimal care about the more practical aspects. Kirill can't even start the thing without fitting his knuckles on the dash because it's such a tight squeeze.

500, as ugly as they both are, the Fit is worse. Maybe one day someone will make a sub compact that doesn't have a cartoonish looking roof.

Location: Diet, Genomics and Immunology Laboratory
Project Number: 8040-51000-058-01-N
Project Type: Non-Funded Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Feb 26, 2010
End Date: Oct 31, 2014
ARS is interested in determining the impact of health-promoting components in foods including those containing probiotic bacteria, and how allergens and infections alter intestinal immunity and physiology. Our project plan has two objectives that directly relate to this agreement: Objective 2: To elucidate the mechanisms used by probiotic bacteria to improve respiratory and intestinal mucosal responses to allergens, and correlate intestinal microflora composition of pigs and humans with biomarkers of allergic and intestinal disease, and Objective 3: To elucidate the mechanisms by which micronutrients affect gut physiology and immune competence in response to food-borne illness due to viruses, bacteria, and gastrointestinal parasites. The COOPERATOR directs a laboratory that has supported ARS activities to evaluate mucosal responses to pathogens and allergens. A formal agreement to expand the interaction can facilitate the objectives of the project and support from external funds.
Experimental mouse and swine models of viral, bacterial, and parasitic infection as well as exposure to allergens will be evaluated for changes in immune and physiological responses at mucosal surfaces. This information will be used by both ARS and the COOPERATOR to jointly develop new research studies that focus on the evaluation of dietary and probiotic intervention to prevent the onset of inflammation and dysfunction, and enhance healthy mucosal surfaces.

[quote user="nycsportzfan"]
I was checking out Charlie Campbell's latest mock that came out this morning, and i really disliked what he had for us... Not all the picks, but he just had a ton of guys who were hit or miss, which is fine, if u have 1or2, but he had about 4of the 5picks, as hit or miss types.. I think we'll take a couple high upside guys who drop, but not that many...
His draft had us going
1. Jerel Worthy DT Michigan St- Funny, because i've been saying that i could really see us grabbing Worthy if hes on the board still at 32, as hes got the upside, measuables, and decent on field production, and plays a positon of great importance to the GIANTS success..
2. Zerbie Sanders OT Fla St- Big bust here, i think.. Just not impressed with what i see from this guy..
3. Bernard Pierce RB Temple- Fine with this pick... Been a pierce fan since 2010..
4. Vontaze Burfict LB Arz St- Puked in my mouth!
5. Travis Lewis LB Oklahoma- No problem here, but 2many hit or miss guys to go with another , in my opinion..
So Anyways, i tweaked it, and think i made a nice mock for us, that i'm proud of..lol
1. Jerel Worthy DT Mich St
2. Bobby Wagner LB Utah St- Goff is unknown at this point, if he'll even be back, and i love the thumper from Utah St, whos everywhere on the field, and very consistent...
3. Bernard Pierce RB Temple
4. Ladarious Green TE La Tech- More of a pass catcher, could team with bennett to be a formidable duo, if ballard and beckum have trouble getting back from injury..
5. Tom Compton OT S.Dakota St- I really like this small school stud, who has made some noise since the offseason began... Great Measurables, and dominated small school comp..
[/quote] If i were to finish the mock of, which i all ready should of done, i'd of gone with
5.(Comp for cofield) Danny Coale WR Va Tech- I think he fits our team like a glove...
6. Sean Cattouse SS California- Another sleeper of mine, i think has the run stuffing potential, and is somewhat of a intimidator out there, and could possibly fit that deon grant role for us..
7. Garth Gerhart C Arz St- Most underrated C in this class.. I think hes better then David Molk to be honest, and woulden't be surprised if he ended up a starter down the line..

Re: Jamie's Fifteen Minute Meals
I am looking forward very much to this coming out, and hope that I won't be as disappointed by it as I was by 30 Minute Meals. I hasten to add that the only reason I was disappointed by 30 Minute Meals was by the short-cuts with ready-made wheat items, which meant that I had to make everything myself in advance Turned out to be 30 minutes if I'd made the varying items the day before, but more like 2 - 3 hours if not.
Having said which, many of the meals were adaptable to simply not using elements, but it's been a lot of work and time sorting these out, and I fear the new one may well be the same for many of us coeliacs and other allergy sufferers ...

Re: Jamie's Fifteen Minute Meals
Loved reading the reviews! Thanks Dave!
Since my limitation is a need to do everything slowly, often with rests inbetween steps, I won't try to do any meal in 15 minutes. But I am keen to try them as simple, delicious meals that will be relatively quick by my own standards!

Re: Jamie's Fifteen Minute Meals
Hi guys
Here is some interesting news regarding "product placement" a new form of subliminal advertising being used currently in the UK.
Apparently there are two companies that will have their products placed in the 15 min meal series when it airs on tv later this year.
I have used Uncle Bens Rice and Yeo Valley Yoghurts and they are both good products. But what do you guys think of this sort of product advertising?

I didn't mind the use of pataks in ministry of food; it was obviously a commercial arrangement but they do a good product and i use them a fair bit because they save time and i think ultimately get people into using more fresh food. I also think it was good that it was balanced with actually recipes for making pastes from scratch.
Haven't seen any of the series yet. I think it's better when it's obvious and where there is an alternative product people can use. I think i recall in 30 minute meals him saying "or any...".

Re: Jamie's Fifteen Minute Meals
The videos of people making Jamie's recipes are interesting to watch. I had to stop though when I saw one person making serious hygiene mistakes while cooking with raw chicken. I think some people are rushing too much, making the 15-minute timeframe more important than getting out a good, safe product.

Re: Jamie's Fifteen Minute Meals
That is a good point MsPablo!
What is the big rush anyway? that's the only thing I don't get! cooking should be enjoyable shouldn't it? Why make it soooo stressfull?
I get the kids home from school, get their homework done with them, Leo does guitar practice every night then they read for 15 mins each... I cook while we are doing this! the kitchen becomes a family room for an hour each evening while i cook the dinner... it's a nice family enviroment... its the true heart of the house... and the kids have grown up with cooking and food all around them, not dad (or mum) being locked in the kitchen for 15 mins while they stress out and tear around like crazy to get a meal thrown together as fast as possible!
food should be slow, it should be enjoyed! the cooking, and eating of it... in my mind, who cares that it takes an hour?... as long as you all had fun cooking it and the end result is good! (and prepared safely)
I think im missing the point of Jamies fast food books!
Someone please enlighten me!

Re: Jamie's Fifteen Minute Meals
I rarely look at the clock when cooking a meal from 30-minutes. If I do, I�m just interested to see whether I make the "30-minutes-line" or not, but I don�t rush myself. I didn�t check the clock when I cooked the ricotta fritters from the new book for the first time.
For me, the time it takes to cook a fresh meal does make a huge difference. My OH is working three shifts (early, late and night), it�s mainly the late shift that is a problem, especially in the winter. I have to cook in advance for him to heat it up when he gets home OR it does have to be a QUICK to cook dinner when being freshly cooked.
Not every meal tastes good when being heated up, no matter whether this happens via microwave or steamer. And you don�t want to eat the same dishes all year, so I hope the new book gives me ideas for new meals that I can cook and maybe even ones for my OH to eat fresh from the cooker, so to speak!

Re: Jamie's Fifteen Minute Meals
It's great to have new, quick ideas. Jamie and the two food stylists who developed the book also mentioned that a lot of thought went in to making the meals nutritious and balanced with the help of a nutritionist. Those are all good things, but the people in the videos look rushed and as if they're trying to beat the clock. They're not concentrating on the cooking process, they're concentrating on the timeframes. A good example is that apparently the book recommends putting each lamb meatball into a hot frying pan as they are made, rather than making them all up and then placing them in the pan. I think one man forgot the oil until all the meatballs were in the pan and beginning to stick. He saved them and all seemed fine. My point here is, I would not enjoy cooking like that. I would rather make up all the meatballs while the pan's getting hot, put the oil in, then add the meatballs at one time so that it simply makes it easier to watch that pan while doing the next step.
I would like to see some of the tips for saving time and some of the ideas, but I am definitely not going to change some of the ways that I do things in the kitchen that I feel are practical and more enjoyable than basically having your head spinning as you wing this and that and make a giant mess in your kitchen.

Yeah... 15 minutes to cook and an hour to clean up all the destruction caused to get it on the plate in time!
I think I will take my time and continue do things sensibly thanks!

Shy Bird
Aug 02, 2013
Jenny Drenkhahn from Eden NSW forwarded Australia All Over the following email & photo sent to her from her brother Robert Whiter
Ever since we arrived in Arkansas on 9th June and spotted these hummingbirds, I have been desperately trying to get a reasonable photo to share. It wasnt until ths morning that I realised it was the foliage of nearby trees which blended with the bird to prohibit clarity...a sheet of white painted masonite tacked to a verandah post in the immediate background has improved my results somewhat....for those not familiar with these little birds let me explain. A very small bird,not really bigger body than our Australian cicada, extremely rapid wing beat, amazing, on the wing they are more akin to an insect...perhaps a large dragonfly. Leaving the syrup feeder this bird always flys backwards (helicopter pilots would be envious.) This bird appears to be the male, with a beak about an inch long and is coloured with blue and a brown throat.....the female, similar proportions but no bright colours and only half the size...tiny! Its amazing to think that these minute birds migrate way
down into South America each year,can withstand extremely cold weather and can slow thier heart rate down to one fifteenth the normal rate! This bird sends his beak down through holes about the size of a grain of rice to suck the sugar syrup up out of the feeder....ROB
