Reviews of this property
Positive was the quiet location of the apartment and it was clean. Generally speaking utilities were ok. Further the neighbourhood with the fresh market around the corner and the beautiful square with a lots of restaurants and bars.
Minus points the apartment was quit dark with a bit poorly atmoshere.
Basic needs like soap and toiletpaper were missing.
The welcome was disappointing like they did not know that we came there for a week. And the wifi does not function well.
We were very pleased, new apartment conform to the description situated in a quiet location from which you can walk to all major tourist destinations. The owner is a very nice and helpful, we recommend it.

Petit bémol le sofa était un peu dur et quel dommage que l'appartement ne soit pas exposé au soleil. Malgré cela tout impeccable!! Merci
Excellent stay in the apartment, very well located and had needed for a very nice experience. The only problem was that it was very cold and the department did not have heating. But the great rest :)

Reviews of this property
Very cozy and quiet appartment, with kitchen and all kitchen utensils. Very good location - near the metro station and city center. Very nice welkom. Our hostess speaks English, German and Russian. My advice to stay there families and business travelers.
I was in Wien in March, the house is 1 minute to the tube station and in 10 minutes you can get the City centre. There is a small shop near the flat perfect to buy food. The flat is quiet and clean and Katherine was very helpful and friendly with us.
Landlord - Helpful and good communication. Detailed instructions to get there provided without asking. Apartment - Looks new and comfortable with good heating. The only thing missing is an oven in case you need to bake a cake or lasagne. Otherwise, it is completely furnished, from coffee machine, microwave oven to fridge. Location - Very convenient. 5 mins to the city center. The U-Bahn station is literally just 30 steps from the main door and there's a convenient store right next to it. It's already on my fave list.
Perfect location, welcoming host and good value for money .. The kitchen had everything you need.. We had minor issues like the heater in the living room worked for one day then didn't work again but the heater in the bedroom was strong enough to reach the living room, also the bathroom didn't have soap. In general we enjoyed our stay in the apartment and may come back again :)
Price performance is O.K.
very noisy to sleep
an outlet in the bathroom would be nice
Preis Leistung ist o.k.
sehr laut zum schlafen
eine Steckdose im Bad wäre schön
Flat is very clean and nice, not far from city -centre. Subway is just around the corner. Wifi is free and works very good. It was a lovely weekend with my family in Wien.
Simple but good hotel near the U1 Vorgartenstrasse. Danube Island and the city center easy and easily accessible. Nice people and good support.
Einfache aber gute Unterkunft in der Nähe der U1 Vorgartenstrasse. Donauinsel und Stadtmitte einfach und gut erreichbar. Nette Leute und gute Unterstützung.
The apartment is located in the 2nd district, close to the Danube and the Prater. Several shopping for groceries are located in the immediate vicinity, the metro station is right outside the door.
The stay was really nice. The apartment is clean, nicely decorated and was for us as a family of 3 an ideal location in Vienna. The price-performance ratio is sensational. Since the bedroom is to the back facing the courtyard, noise is from the main road no problem even in the living room could have been sleeping on the sofa without any problems. Conveniently, the house has an elevator.
We would recommend the hotel in any case and even book yourself at the next stay again.
Das Appartement liegt im 2. Bezirk, unweit der Donau und des Praters. Mehrere Einkaufsmöglichkeiten für Lebensmittel befinden sich in unmittelbarer Nähe, die U-Bahn-Station ist direkt vor der Tür.
Der Aufenthalt war wirklich sehr schön. Das Appartement ist sauber, schön eingerichtet und war für uns als 3-köpfige Familie ein idealer Aufenthaltsort in Wien. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist sensationell. Da das Schlafzimmer nach hinten zum Hof hinaus liegt, ist Lärm von der Durchgangsstrasse kein Problem, auch im Wohnzimmer hätte man auf der Ausziehcouch problemlos schlafen können. Praktischerweise verfügt das Haus über einen Aufzug.
Wir würden die Unterkunft jedenfalls weiterempfehlen und auch selbst bei einem nächsten Aufenthalt wieder buchen.
In originally rented apartment the spa was broken and we were quartered at the same price in a larger apartment in the same house. (That's why I can not say anything to LA11-25.) The apartment was good and the location perfect.
Im ursprünglich gemieteten Appartement war die Therme kaputt und wir wurden zum gleichen Preis in ein größeres Appartement im selben Haus einquartiert. (Deshalb kann ich nichts zu LA11-25 sagen.) Die Wohnung war gut und die Lage perfekt.

Three receive Bank of America scholarships
By Lynn Gosnell
Special Projects Writer
(May 6, 2009)--Three UTSA students studying to enter or advance in child development careers have been awarded scholarships from UTSA funded by the Bank of America Charitable Foundation. The Bank of America Endowed Scholarship in Child Development Studies for academic year 2009-2010 carries a financial award of $13,000 for each student. This is the first year the scholarships have been awarded.

The recipients are Sonya Cardenas, an experienced early childhood teacher specialist; Rahwa Tesfai Neguse, a young AmeriCorps member working on a local children's health initiative; and Serina Contreras, an undergraduate volunteer at the Jose Cardenas Early Childhood Center in the Edgewood Independent School District.
"All three students had excellent academic records and demonstrated leadership and commitment to the community. They are exemplary of the type of scholars we want to support," said Harriett Romo, founder and director of the Bank of America Child and Adolescent Policy Research Institute (CAPRI).
- Sonya Cardenas, a mother of three who works as an early childhood teacher specialist in SAISD, earned an undergraduate degree at Our Lady of the Lake University and graduate degrees in education from UTSA. The award will support her pursuit of another graduate degree in school administration. As a teacher specialist, Cardenas trains and supports pre-K teachers, parents, paraprofessionals and administrators at all campuses, including Navarro Early Childhood Center.
- Junior Serina Contreras is studying to be a special education teacher. She works part-time at the Jose Cardenas Child Development Center. According to one nominator, Contreras is a "child magnet" at the center, sensitively leading numerous classroom and ex-curricular activities.
- Graduate student Rahwa Tesfai Neguse is studying public administration while working with Making Connections-San Antonio, an initiative of the Annie E. Casey Foundation to strengthen West Side families. She works closely with CHAPSS (Children Are Healthy and Prepared to Succeed) to promote access to early-education enhancement, access to affordable health care, and interventions that support academic performance and overall healthy development.
CAPRI was founded in 2004 by Harriett Romo, UTSA professor of sociology, in order to develop research projects and educational programs that help children and adolescents from low-income, mostly Latino families reach their full potential.
In 2007, the Bank of America Foundation contributed $1 million to UTSA to support early childhood development in the city. In honor of this generous support, the research center was renamed the Bank of America Child and Adolescent Policy Research Institute (CAPRI).
The institute also provides valuable experience in applied research for UTSA graduate students and faculty. Research topics pursued by affiliated faculty and students include obesity prevention, infant cognition and language development, school readiness and dropouts, early literacy, juvenile justice and child abuse prevention.

Research Databases
Access to collection label data of South American Andean plants within an integrated database management system provides improved access to the collections on which much taxonomic work on Andean flora is based. As the following article illustrates, our databases facilitate research and information-sharing, and greatly increase the efficiency of standard herbarium operations such as the generation of specimen labels, annotation labels, and determination lists.
At the Field Museum, we have been databasing our incoming Peruvian and project related material for several years using an IBM PC, and dBase� (Version IV for DOS or V for WINDOWS) database software in tandem with WordPerfect� (Version 5.1 for DOS or 6 for WINDOWS). The specimen-label information from over 7500 collections from coastal Chile and Peru have been electronically captured and are available in checklists. A comparable database project, DETBASE, contains over 10,000 collections from northern Peru (Departments Amazonas, Ancash, Cajamarca, Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad, San Mart�n). These databases serve a wide variety of functions ranging from generation of herbarium specimen labels to generating checklists, exsiccatae, and statistics.
Checklists generated from LOMAFLOR and DETBASE may be found in the Environments section. The following publication describes the database system developed at the Field Museum and shared with our research colleagues in Peru:
Niño Events
The vegetation of western South America is influenced by periodic and recurrent El Niño events. The physics behind the El Niño or El Ni�o Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon is complex and readers are urged to consult numerous sites that provide a more complete explanation of the origins and monitoring of ENSO events [El Ni�o Web Links]. Simply put, El Niño conditions prevail when the normally cold waters of the coast of western South America are displaced by a warmer, western Pacific surface and subsurface body of water that stimulates brief periods of heavy rainfall and relatively high temperatures. This influx of available moisture has profound effects within the lomas formations and has undoubtedly helped shape their composition and structure. This portion of the site is under active construction and will be expanding in the coming months.
Research has been supported, in part, by National Science Foundation grants: Biogeography and Evolution of the Lomas formations of Peru and Chile (BSR-8513205) and Botanical Collections and Ecological Observations in Coastal South American Deserts during the 1997/98 ENSO Event (DEB-801297). Support from the National Geographic Society is also acknowledged.

Multiple vehicle burglaries at Colorado Springs theater
As many as 10 vehicles targeted, victim says
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs police on Wednesday were trying to confirm a rash of vehicle break-ins in the parking lot of the Tinseltown movie theater near World Arena on the city's south side.
An apparent victim of the burglaries told KRDO NewsChannel 13 that his vehicle was one of around 10 hit by thieves Tuesday night. The man said he arrived at the theater around 7 p.m. and noticed the burglary when he returned to his vehicle around 9 p.m.
The victim declined an interview but estimated that $500 worth of items inside his vehicle were taken. He said some of the vehicles involved had windows broken, but others had the entire window removed.
Police said they couldn't verify the number of vehicles involved because only two victims filed reports. As of Wednesday evening, police hadn't heard from anyone who saw the burglaries in progress.
There are no security cameras visible in the parking lot, but there are signs advising moviegoers to "Lock, Take and Hide," referring to common police advice for people to lock their vehicles and remove valuable items or hide them out of sight of thieves.
Terry Vattimo, the general manager for Tinseltown, was unavailable for comment about security at the theater.

The world is more or less about to collapse, just FYI. Too hot, too many people, too much consumption - if the entire world consumed at the same level as Americans, for instance, we'd need five extra Earths. FIVE!!!
As it is, we could already do with an extra half-Earth. Nice one, humans.
But some humans are on the case, thank goodness. While we're busy hoovering up natural resources and breeding like oblivious field mice, they're thinking hard about how we got into this mess and how to get out of it.
Two of those people are renowned Stanford biologists Paul and Anne Ehrlich, who say overpopulation and overconsumption by the wealthy are hurtling us into the cold arms of nothingness.
According to the UN, the world's population is projected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050. And "The next 2.5 billion people will do much more damage than the 2.5 billion added since the 1970s," says Prof Paul Ehrlich, "because people use the richest, most easily extracted resources first."
But it's not all gloom. In their recent report - Can a collapse of global civilization be avoided? - the savvy husband/wife duo has also laid out a roadmap of steps needed to put the brakes on imminent destruction.
They say that while it's hoped that improvements in technology, like better agricultural practices and smarter energy solutions, will help meet the demands of future generations, "you can't save the world on hope alone."
A more effective solution is to humanely lower the world's projected birthrate and population by one billion. ("Anything less is threatening the lives of our grandchildren.") Then work from there on better managing the world's resources.
How? LADIES! LADIES ARE THE KEY! Or rather, making sure women everywhere have absolute equality. Because, says Prof Paul Ehrlich:
"This will allow us to include more of their brainpower to help solve these problems. And studies have shown that when women are given full rights, they have fewer children, which will help slow birth rates.
"We also need to give every sexually active human free access to modern contraception and emergency abortion."
We already know empowering women makes good economic sense. But (almost needless to say) it's a daunting task. "After all," note the pair, "there is not a single nation where women are truly treated as equal to men."
Still, the Ehrlichs - whose report cites 78 articles by scientists across several disciplines and was "reviewed by a panel of renowned biologists and social scientists" - seem to have a smidgeon of faith in humans:
"Modern society has shown some capacity to deal with long-term threats," they write, "at least if they are obvious or continuously brought to attention."

Salem - With construction on the town's roundabout now complete, some residents are expressing concern that not all drivers know how to navigate the traffic pattern.
At the March meeting of the Economic Development Commission, some members took the opportunity to complain to their Board of Selectman liaison, Robert Ross, about people who entered the roundabout at high speeds, without yielding right of way or while straddling two lanes.
EDC chairman Frank Sroka said that he's twice seen someone make "scary decisions" in the roundabout, such as turning left into the oncoming traffic. One driver, he said, was "completely adrift."
Despite the confusion displayed by some drivers, town officials said there has only been one accident since the roundabout was installed late last year. It was a fender-bender and no one was injured.
Sroka thinks the town should make the white arrows that direct traffic into the roundabout yellow so that they will be easier to see.
Ross said that the double lanes on one side of the roundabout might be causing some confusion with drivers. Drivers going north on Route 85 or east on Route 82 have the option of two different lanes when entering the roundabout, which Ross said was to provide a quicker entrance and exit for those only going a short distance.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that fewer crashes occur in one-way roundabouts than in those with multiple lanes.
There is a possibility of altering the roundabout to make it one lane all the way around, which would also even out the asymmetrical center, said Ross. He said the town is talking with the state Department of Transportation to see if the problem goes away.
First Selectman Kevin Lyden said that there was no plan to change the configuration of the roundabout, which is now considered to be in the substantial completion phase - meaning that only the project's finishing touches still need to be completed.
"The roundabout overall is working quite well," said Lyden. But the DOT is still monitoring its use to see if there will be any need to alter signs or otherwise alter the area.
The roundabout was first approved in 2009, when Ross was first selectman. The rationale for the approximately $3.5 million, federally-funded project was that it would reduce accidents, which were occurring at a high rate at the busy intersection of Routes 85 and 82.
Sixty-two collisions, which resulted in 25 injuries and one death, occurred in the area between 2004 and 2009.
According the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, converting intersections to roundabouts reduces injury-causing crashes by 72 percent and total crashes by 47 percent.

RIC Alumna Publishes Article in "Film Matters" Magazine
The sardonic commentary aimed at wives in the silent film "Why Change Your Wife?" was the focus of an article written by Erica Tortolani '13, a RIC summa cum laude and college honors graduate with a double major in film studies and communication. Because of the high level of scholarship, her article has been selected for publication in the fall issue of "Film Matters," a quarterly periodical of works by undergraduate film studies students.
Initially written for a course Tortolani had with Vincent Bohlinger, RIC professor and director of film studies, her article examines a 1920s comedic film by Cecil B. DeMille that mocks married life, particularly wives.
The plot centers on the unmet needs of a husband and his "dowdy" wife. The husband expects the wife to be sexier, while the wife expects the husband to be more cultured. While attempting to purchase sexy lingerie for his wife, the husband is attracted to another woman in the shop. After a night out with the "other" woman, his wife divorces him and he marries the female found in "intimate apparel." However, his second wife soon becomes as demanding as the first, while his first wife gives herself a makeover and draws him back to her. By film's end, the husband has remarried his first wife, and from thus comes the title "Why Change Your Wife?" – the second will be as demanding as the first.
Tortolani's article, "Intertitle Humor and the Representation of Heterosexual Marriage in 'Why Change Your Wife?'" focuses on the mainstays of silent films – intertitles – the printed text that appear inbetween the action that either convey the characters' dialogue or convey the third-person narrator's comments on the action. Tortolani said, "In this film, the intertitles by the third-person narrator all point to women as being the cause of a marriage going sour." The final scenes show the remarried couple in their home, with the wife dressed in more revealing clothing. The intertitle reminds women to make sure they forget, from time to time, that they are a wife.
Tortolani framed her analysis within the Freudian theory of humor. She said, in Freud's view, humor allows individuals to release forbidden thoughts and feelings that the conscious mind usually suppresses in order to conform to society. This theory is known as the "relief theory of humor." "Freud would have surmised that in DeMille's film the feeling of relief is particularly felt by men when jokes are directed at the restrictive nature of marriage," said Tortolani.
"Erica's article was very well-written and researched," said Bohlinger, so much so that he suggested she submit it for publication in "Film Matters." He said, "My hope is that her success at publishing her work will encourage more RIC film majors to submit their research work."

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger is used to hearing criticism of his new recruits but he insists Per Mertesacker is doing well - and will get much better.
The experienced Germany international was one of a clutch of signings in the final days of the transfer window and he has been thrown straight into the deep end with Thomas Vermaelen sidelined since he arrived.
Arsenal's defence - and by extension Mertesacker - has been questioned at times but Wenger believes the 26-year-old's intelligence and mental strength will shine through.
"He adapts quite well, he is getting more aggressive," said the manager. "I like him personally, I think he is a very intelligent player and he will be a big asset for us.
"I don't know if he realised how quick it [the football in England] would be but he has said it's quick - relentless! But trust the Germans, they can fight.
"New signings get judged very quickly but if the team doesn't win then nobody is good - it is like that. The players who are mentally strong - and I think Per is - will get over that. I'm happy with what I see from him.
"Many times you know people judge your buys quickly but personally I am happy with the buys we have made. I'm not happy with the results we have made - that is completely different. I have heard that Song is a bad buy, that Henry is a bad buy, but over time they have been alright."
When Wenger arrived at Highbury in 1996 he was handed some of the Premier League's finest - and most vocal - defenders on a plate. Tony Adams, Steve Bould, Martin Keown, Lee Dixon and Nigel Winterburn were all at the club but their old manager rejects claims that he has not or cannot build a defence.
"I inherited a fantastic defence but what people forget is that it was not the unbeatable ['Invincibles'] defence, it was not the best defence," he pointed out.
"People say we never had to build a defence but that defence with Lauren, Sol Campbell, Kolo Toure and Ashley Cole was the unbeatable one. The four defenders we had were talkers as well.
"We have had quieter defenders recently but I think Mertesacker can be a talker. He will come out of himself, don't worry."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

[quote user="MattMeyerBud"][quote user="Morehead State"][quote user="MattMeyerBud"][quote user="Morehead State"][quote user="JPizzack"][quote user="Morehead State"]
[quote user="DavenIII"]Also I just saw a claim recently.
it said the average cost per month for healthcare in Mass (which has done what Obama care is supposed to do just on a state level)
600$ Month - Average wait for an appointment 50 Days - Boston
it was compared to Atlanta which is a more "average" health care system.
200$ Month - Average wait for an appointment 11 Days - Atlanta
so why is the statewide healthcare plan in Mass considered a success if it's increasing cost and lowering quality of care...and if that's the case why did Obama base his plan off that one...and is that what we can all expect for everyone once it starts being implemented on a federal level?
I live in Mass Daven. I call my doctor at 9:00 and he can see me no later than 11:00. All the Mass. HC law does is insure the small minority that aren't insured now. It has absolutely NO EFFECT on the 95% of people who already have insurance.

My insurance is great actually. We have a low deductable and no co pay. Its because we have good insurance through the market system.

I have no idea where these numbers of yours come from. I live here.

[/quote] I've never even heard of that. That number is simply for the Obamacare he's quoting, right? I love my insurance, and my company has done a kickass job of making sure we don't get cornholed on the premiums. little to no copays, free prescription drugs basically. My one gripe is with dental coverage, but i've never heard anyone say they like their dental insurance.[/quote]

I have great dental insurance.

further proof that your experience with healthcare isn't a good sample of the restof the country...
or were u just davening?
Now you get to be forced to buy HC insurance whether you can afford it or not. Didn't you say last year that you didn't have it because is was too expensive? Starting in 2014, you don't get to decide for yourself. You will be forced to buy insurance from private insurance companies thanks to Obamacare.

My point is that the HC law in Mass. has no effect on the 95% of residents that already have insurance.

yes but, not at 125 dollars a week. Lando was the one that can't afford the insurance. Two jobs ago when I was working for a window and door gallery 7 years ago, I think I was making like 13 an hour on a 40 hour week and it would of cost me 125 bucks a week for insurance.
This is for people caught in those situations and with the unemployment the way it is people who are out of work. So many countries do this and have success. Much like the way Daven started spilling stats of Mass, you had to correct him. Its the same thing that happens when people start talking about how health insurance is other countries that have national healthcare. THEY ALL LOVE IT.
Infact the canucks have poked in on these convos when we have had them multiple times to say they can't believe the amount of people that are against this idea in the states.
It seems like your in a good situation and i'm glad for you and you SHOULD vote against this because obviously it doesn't make sense for you personally - but that doesn't mean it doesn't make sense for ALOT of other people. I can't get into the debates with you because I don't know enough facts to argue it because I haven't really been following much lately. But i'll just stick to my general rule of thumb: oppose anything that pappy and daven say
EDIT: isn't obama care being modeled after a successful healthcare model (Mass situation) in which you have just said works for you, but yet ur still not for it??
My daughter ilves in the UK. She gets the choice of the UK HC system or private insurance provided by the US gov. She says the UK HC system is a nightmare. Essentially any non life threatening conditions usually take 4-6 months for an appt, Obviously, all the US gov. employees choose private insurance.

You don't know how bad it is there Matt. This comes from someone who is there. Not bogus studies by posted by Daven. Her Brit friends all hate it.

You don't understand how inefficient things get when huge bureaucracies run them. Its not idealogy. Its just the way it is. We need more competition in the system, not less.

Serves 4
Prep Time 40 min
Total Time 40 min.
Step 1
To prepare roasted lemons: Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange lemon slices in a single layer on it. Brush the lemon slices with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Roast the lemons until slightly dry and beginning to brown around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, prepare chicken: Cover chicken with plastic wrap and pound with a rolling pin or heavy skillet until flattened to about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish and dredge the chicken to coat both sides; shake off excess (discard remaining flour).
Step 3
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add broth and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in capers. Boil until the liquid is reduced to syrup consistency, 5 to 8 minutes, turning the chicken halfway. Add the roasted lemons, butter, 2 tablespoons parsley and more pepper, if desired; simmer until the butter melts and the chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and serve.

Cute little apartment in the heart of the city. Joao is very nice and helpful. We will come back, thats for sure !
João ist ein sehr hilfsbereiter und unkomplizierter Gastgeber. Wir hatten 3 Stunden Verspätung und das Meisterschaftsspiel zwischen Benfica und Sporting hatte gerade begonnen. João nahm sich dennoch ausgiebig Zeit uns alles zu erklären und gab uns tolle Tipps. Nur sein Tricot hat ihn verraten. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber, hat einen wunderschönen alten Parkettboden, ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und ist sehr hell. Die Lage ist perfekt um die Stadt zu erkunden und trotzdem verhältnismässig ruhig gelegen. (Ausser um Mitternacht, da kommt die Kehrrichtabfuhr und man steht im Bett. Und man hört die Leute reden wenns Sie durch die Gasse laufe. Mir und meiner Mutter hat das nichts ausgemacht, aber eine besonders lärmempfindliche Person, könnte Mühe damit haben). Badezimmer und Balkon sind sehr klein. Zu zweit ging es aber gut. Grundnahrungsmittel wie Kaffee, Zucker, Olivenöl, Salz etc. waren vorhanden.
Wir hatten 5 fantastische Tage in Lissabon und können das Appartment wärmstens empfehlen. Würden jederzeit wieder kommen. Danke João.

Very pleasant stay! The appartment was clean and exactly like described in the advertisment. Alsoit was very good located in the centre of Lisbon. Joao did also a great job as host and guide, he organised smooth airport transfer and gave valueable tipps for sightseeing and restaurants.
All in all i can totally recommend a stay in this appartment!
It's a very good apartment in a very good location in the city. It takes only 5 minutes to nearest Metro-Station, 5 minutes to the supermarket and 5 minutes to nice restaurants. The host is very friendly and gives much information about the citx for trips etc. The apartment is very clean, cozy and comfortable. We only can recommend it! And by the way: The garbage is colectes in Lisboa alwasy at night. So it is no drawback of this apartment!
We had 4 day vacation with my family in Lisboa and enjoyed the central location of this flat. Getting to the Metro takes less than less than 10 minutes and even walk to the downtown is no problem. The falt is compfortable and suitable for 4 persons. The kids likes the WiFi and short walk to supermercado to by their pizza while parent continued to discovere the city.
Especialy Joao did a good job. He found us finaly with all the lugage at the Metro station, because we started out Lisboa discovery just beginning at the airport by taking the Metro not a the offered car transfer.
Little drawback of the flat is the nightly garbage collection if you like to sleep with open windows.
A nice apartment which is recently and tastefully renovated. Very clean.
Close to everything on foot or by metro but still in a place that is free from tourists.
The host Joao is a charming and helpful guy.
Great apartment! Good location to explore the city, everything on walking distance (both for walking or the metro). Clean apartment with enough space and facilities. We were there with 4 (so we don't know how the couch sleeps) but the 4 this is a great place to stay!
The appartment s very nice, in the center of Lisbon. The room and the bathroom are pretty nice. Everything are clean, it's near from the subway and the tramway.
It was a great stay !

I am polite, yet I get my post removed.
Original post made by Resident, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Apr 8, 2013
Looking at the thread with my posts deleted it appears I must have said something horrendous. I in fact gave a dictionary definition of a word that is continually being thrown about here by people who are unable to discuss an issue politely.
I did not say anything horrendous. I was completely polite and gave my point of view. I did not call anyone names which it seems is quite alright for people to call me. I was taught that it was wrong to call people names instead of rational discussion. Calling people names is the sign of losing an argument because there is no rational response. Now I am the one being victimized by it.
It seems that dictionary definitions are not acceptable forms of discussion and need to be deleted.

Don't feel bad, there are many posters who get comments deleted. It may be something not PC, or something that could cause trouble legally for the Weekly. Who knows? Sometimes posts are not deleted for more than 24 hours, sometimes immediately.
There are some posters, one in particular comes to mind, who argue with anyone and everyone else who posts. Some try to reveal the identities of other posters. They deserve deleting. But you may have written something without realizing it offended someone.
Don't give it another thought, let it go.

The censorship at Palo Alto Online is arbitrary. If you happen to hold an opinion that the censor does not agree with she will just axe your comment! No threat. Perhaps she should read the first amendment of the US constitution - the one about free speech. Palo Alto Online also just simply shuts down a thread - the very moment when a real topic emerges.
They just want banal platitudes about a tree being too big or a racy paint color.
Its truly shocking. Sure if you swear But if you simply criticise or comment you are axed. The New York Times censors less!
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Apr 9, 2013 at 7:57 pm
The First Amendment has nothing to do with the PA Weekly removing posts. They're not the government. It's also not, by the same token, censorship. It's their forum, they have the right to moderate.
As for what gets removed/blocked/etc., it's not that consistent. Often I understand why, at other times, it's a bit baffling. Different moderators have different issues. I once had a reference to Michelle Rhee removed--even though she's a public figure and the matter to which I referred was publicly reported.
Sometimes I think a given moderator just gets bored with a thread and cuts it off.
Don't take it personally, Resident. I've had comments edited and threads cut off. I've also found my comments showing up in print in articles that refer to the forum. You've posted here a long time and I think you have the respect of other regulars and, I'd guess, the many lurkers.

on Apr 9, 2013 at 9:25 pm
OhlonePar, I concur with your points, but how do you differentiate among all the people who post as "Resident", particularly those from the nebulous "another Palo Alto neighborhood"? Are all these the same person? I'll try to pay better attention to the tenor and nuance. I've had my share of posts deleted, sometimes when I just couldn't help myself from saying something too obvious, or sometimes not realizing that I am being insensitive. I most enjoy comments from people who have something constructive to say.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis

There's usually a difference in capitalization and,yeah, the neighborhood ID. IDing is far from perfect though. I've thought of changing mine because I post on non-school subjects, but consistency . . .

We had one poster who managed to find out the identities and addresses of some of the other posters several months ago. This poster sent Christmas cards with some very snarky greetings to these other posters, as well as to the extended family of one! There are a couple of guesses about who the perpetrator may be, but nothing definite.
However, for this reason the PAPD suggests that posters NEVER use their real names or neighborhoods. They also suggest that posters should not register, even though that means not being able to place comments after certain threads have been limited to registered users only.
Better safe than sorry.

Probably not a good idea to register to vote either. Anybody can get that public information. ;)

With reradr to nowhere man's comments:
Let's get the facts straight. I already posted a version of these comments on a previous thread in which the above poster (using a different identity made the same misleading claims)
1) I discovered the identity of the poster as follows--this person wrote a letter to the local paper-the poster then copied the letter verbatim to this forum--identity known--no magic or hacking or unterior actions
2) this was the only poster that i identified (how would the above poster know if I identified other posters??? See what I mean about misleading claims)
3) I sent the poster a christmas card to say hello--nothing malicious about it--I wished the poster's many identities a happy holiday season
4) the claim that PAPD is involved is misleading--what would they be involved with? A christmas card? The PAPD does not give out the kind of advice the poster is claiming.
Why don't stick to the facts, nowhere man.

Years and years ago, in another dimension (okay Usenet), I got cyberstalked. It really only takes one nut reacting badly to make your life hell. So I don't register. It's not that I don't believe that the PA Weekly has bad intentions, it's more that there are lots of hackers out there.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Apr 10, 2013 at 2:18 pm
Thanks for the support.
I think I have got over my initial feelings. More frustration than anything else when I see that my posts got deleted when the other posts on the thread were left intact and I couldn't do anything after the thread was closed except flag them for their objectionable content and then they were just edited in part whereas mine were deleted completely - probably just because the moderator didn't agree with them more than anything else as you suggested.
But going on from that there is some good discussion here.
Like everyone else I like to remain anonymous and although I know I'm not the only poster to use this name I don't mind because it adds to my anonimity. The fact that there may be subtle ways to see who is who is OK, because it means that someone looking into that is also actually reading and digesting my posts rather than just scanning.
Remaining anonymous is part and parcel with being able to make honest comments and post honest opinions. Knowing that I am not going to be approached when I am out and about is a bonus but protecting my family and property is my main concern.
The fact that we have secret ballots is so that we can honestly vote how we think is a similar rationale. If we had to be identified as how we vote would take away the value as many of us would vote differently if we thought there might be some retribution from those who disagreed with us.
The downside of course is that by being anonymous, many then take it that they can say things they would never say if their identities were known. It allows snide comments, vitriole and hateful language to those who don't know how to debate and listen to both sides of the issue. I acknowledge that others have different opinions and their opinions are just as valid as my own. I will read other's opinions and answer as I see fit, respecting the discussion as if we were speaking face to face (although valuing the fact that we aren't). However, there are many here who won't do that and are ruining it for all of us. It is often completely understandable why some of the threads here get locked, but often that is not the case. The moderators can of course do as they like, but it hard for those of us who are entering into civil discussion even when we have strong opinions. It is better I think though to have the moderators as otherwise this would turn into some of the other forums where civility is non-existent.
I thought initially that people who are making these uncivil comments are doing so only because they are anonymous. But, I have come to believe that is a false assumption. On reading some of the media pages on Facebook where people have to comment with their names and usually their profile pictures, it is amazing to me that they can still make hateful comments and not care anymore than they would if they were totally anonymous. I can only say from this that many people don't really care whether or not they are identifiable when they are sitting at home behind a keyboard. They will say it anyway. I can only hope that they would be more civil if it was a discussion face to face. Unfortunately, having seen snippets of shows on TV like Maury, I think that there is a certain section of the population that have absolutely no scruples whatsoever when it comes to what they will say in public, particularly if they think they will be financially rewarded for doing so.

It happens all the time; the moderators around here simply don't have much respect for free speech, and aren't very good at distinguishing what's inappropriate. It probably explains the somewhat homogenous feel to the comments on these forums.
What's even worse is when the moderators remove only a portion of your post, lessening the impact/cohesion of the rest of it. Others posters have even pointed out times when they modified the phrasing in certain posts to reduce offensiveness, which ends up putting words in the author's mouth.
Let's see how long this post lasts.

Baseball great Cal Ripken Jr. has a new job: children's book author. His novel, Hothead, is about a young ballplayer who has temper issues. Growing up, Ripken did too. "You have to try to make it work for you in a positive way," Ripken says.
Ripken learned to control his temper on the field. He became a baseball legend for playing a record 2,632 games in a row. Now he wants to let his readers know that they too can tackle their troubles and achieve success. TFK Kid Reporter Sahil Abbi got the scoop on Ripken's new novel and his life advice for young people.
What inspired you to write Hothead?
Writing gives you the chance to teach kids valuable lessons. The first lesson kids will learn from reading this book is how to control their tempers.
Why did you decide to give your main character a bad temper?
Many kids have a problem with losing their tempers. I was one. So I first looked inside myself. I had an issue to deal with as a young man. Where do I put this frustration when things don't go well? My parents helped me to channel my energy into positive things.
Did your father inspire you to play baseball?
Yes, the relationship between Connor and his dad is similar to the relationship between my dad and me, even though my dad was in professional baseball. Many people think my father pressured me into playing, but he just exposed me to a lot of what was going on in baseball. And he encouraged me to continue to play. One of the things he did was try to reduce the pressure on me.
After being such a successful athlete, what made you want to write a novel for children?
I wanted to communicate a lesson that I learned as a kid and that I think will be helpful to other kids.
Do you plan on writing more children's books?
We have a second book that's almost finished right now. We haven't quite decided on the name, but it's along the lines of Supersize Slugger. It's about a kid who is overweight and gets bullied.
As a kid did you aspire to be an author or an athlete?
An athlete. I laugh internally when I think of myself as an author. I like communicating a story and a message. And I love the fact that I have someone who knows how to write and can help me shape the book and turn it into something special. Kevin Cowherd really did that for us.
As a kid, who did you look up to?
My childhood hero was a guy by the name of Brooks Robinson. He was known as the human vacuum cleaner because every ball that was hit down to the hot corner, he was able to suck it up like a vacuum cleaner would. He was one of the most popular [Baltimore] Oriole players. I liked him because he was always nice. He was always a good guy on and off the field.
What advice do you have for aspiring authors and athletes?
Whether you want to become an author or an athlete, you've got to work hard. You've got to prepare. There are really no shortcuts. It's all about how much work you put in. Writing is not easy. You have to write and rewrite, and go through different drafts over and over again. Once you do that, you start to learn. As an athlete, you have to practice. Many people just want to play the game, and they forget about the practice. The practice and the preparation are the most important parts of writing and playing ball.

When Congress lingered in approving additional federal funding for communities affected by superstorm Sandy, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, forcefully criticized the delay. But when the House of Representatives voted recently to allow houses of worship to apply for federal aid after natural disasters, Nadler vehemently opposed the move.
Nadler said he sympathized with the synagogues, churches and mosques damaged during the storm but did not believe that federal taxpayer dollars should be used to repair religious institutions.
The bill, which would classify houses of worship as private not-for-profit institutions eligible for disaster aid, passed by a vote of 354–72. It now moves on to the Senate, where it could face staunch opposition. Advocates of the bill see it as a no-brainer, given the extent of the damage from the storm, which affected 72 synagogues in the New York area. Critics say the bill raises questions about the separation of church and state. They even claim that such legislative aid is unconstitutional.
UPDATE: In reversal, ADL backs aid to synagogues hit by Sandy
The legislation has led to a contested debate among leading Jewish organizations, which universally agree on the exceptionality of Hurricane Sandy's impact on the Jewish community but differ on how far they are willing to relent on their principles of separation of religion and state. A number of Jewish organizations were instrumental in working with Congress members to create this legislation, but longtime partners have taken different stances in this case. For example, the American Jewish Committee supports the bill, while the Anti-Defamation League is troubled by it.
On the floor of the House just before the vote, Nadler spoke for the critics when he said the legislation was being rushed to a vote. It was as if they were naming a post office, not addressing a law that has potentially serious constitutional implications, he complained.
"This bill should be subject to hearings in the Judiciary Committee, with input from constitutional scholars, and due consideration of these significant constitutional issues, before we take such a radical step," Nadler said.
The issue has clearly divided Jewish lawmakers, with 14 House members supportive, and 8 opposed. Henry Waxman, the Democratic congressman from California, voiced has approval. "This bill helps these facilities gain access to emergency resources," Waxman said. "Disasters don't spare houses of worship; we shouldn't exclude them from the recovery."
Jonathan Sarna, professor of American Jewish history at Brandeis University, said the legislation presents the latest phase in the debate between two different understandings of the First Amendment.
The other argument, according to Sarna, is that the First Amendment aims "to ensure that government doesn't favor one religion over another." An example is the placement of religious symbols in public areas during the holiday season, as long as all religions are represented.
Three months after the October 29 storm, Congress finally approved an aid package for the affected states. It will ultimately total $50 billion. But even before money was allocated, leaders from a broad range of Jewish groups, including the Orthodox Union, the Jewish Federations of North America, the New York Board of Rabbis, the Rabbinical Assembly and Agudath Israel, had already begun pressuring Congress to amend the law that makes houses of worship largely ineligible for aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Groups like UJA-Federation of New York advised synagogues to apply for FEMA aid, particularly if they provided essential public services, such as schools or homeless shelters, institutions that are eligible to receive aid.
Yisroel Schulman, co-founder, president and attorney-in-charge of the New York Legal Assistance Group, told the Forward last December that organizations involved in critical charitable work should be covered; however, such labels would not be necessary if the current bill passed, as it would include buildings "without regard to the religious character of the facility or the primary religious use of the facility."
It's an amendment to the FEMA law that has received bipartisan support in the House. New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn also wrote a letter to FEMA recently, saying, "Churches, synagogues and mosques serve as a bedrock for our citizens and our communities," and that recovery from a natural disaster "isn't a matter of state sponsoring religion."
But Rabbi David Saperstein, director and counsel of the Religious Action Center, disagreed, saying that the bill "clearly raises issues on separation of church and state."
"It's government funding religious institutions and their buildings," Saperstein said. He also echoed Nadler's notion that the bill was rushed through the House. "We barely had time to focus on it in our office," he said. "I hope the Senate will take time to look at this very carefully before moving into a constitutionally problematic area."
The bill is expected to face a stiffer challenge in the Senate. Rabbi Abba Cohen, vice president of federal affairs for Agudah, wrote in an email, "Our work is by no means finished," adding that proponents of the bill will have to educate members "both in terms of the law and the need." If the bill is passed, groups like Agudah would monitor FEMA's implementation of the legislation. Cohen said FEMA "has not been supportive of the effort," so far.
"It could take months — sometimes years — for the funding to flow to where it's needed," Cohen said.
If passed, another complex issue will be deciding under what guidelines a building will be classified as a house of worship. Sarna noted that throughout the country, there are nontraditional locations that are used for worship, like Chabad houses, or home-based gatherings among Protestants.
"Suddenly, there's a question of whether we are going to discriminate in favor of religions that can afford to have a dedicated house of worship," Sarna said. "This particular law will require government to make very complicated decisions about what is and is not legitimate religious worship space.
"On that basis, it may well be that the courts will decide that the law doesn't pass constitutional muster, but that's way into the future and will probably be triggered by some group that will put in for reimbursement and be informed that they are not eligible. Then they will say they're being discriminated against."
In addition to Nadler, Rep.Robert C. Scott of Virginia spoke out against the legislation, saying it would violate "years of established legal precedence." Scott said programs are already available to provide help for religious groups, such as the small business loan program. The American Civil Liberties Union also opposed the proposal.
In a statement released earlier this year, the ADL said it had "real concerns about opening the door to direct government funding for houses of worship," and that a "taxpayer should not have to fund a religion or a religious institution with which he or she disagrees."
In the Rockaways, in Queens, Rabbi Marjorie Slome has incurred more than $1 million in damages to West End Temple. She said she was "delighted" to hear that the House passed the legislation. Slome was not looking for money to replace Torahs or prayer books, but to rebuild a facility that hosts meetings of Boy and Girl Scouts, Alcoholics Anonymous and other secular civic groups.
"I understand the arguments of those against it, but to me, this is a special situation," Slome said. "I don't know if this is going to help my synagogue, but maybe next time, when another natural disaster like this happens, it will be a lot less difficult to fight this battle."

This would be my dream MG.
One of MK's best works.
Great job Pirate.
Green with envy.
finally got this built, I had the kit and receiver for a few years now. I got in a small run of these to do for a commercial customer and did mine to work out the build process. I had it out to the range last weekend and ran 250 rounds through it, only had 2 stopages that were failures to feed possibly because of short recoil. it ejects out the left and the guy shooting on that side was ankle deep in 54R brass!!
I riveted the trigger housing on today now that it is working right. I hot salt blacked the receiver instead of painting it, I will most likely do that to the rest of the parts in the future as I am not a fan of painted guns.

Very nice job pirate56. This makes all your builds worth the wait.
Terrific Job !!!
FWIW - it would have been even better as a postie
Did I do that?
That looks great I just posted a question about it behind that bren. Whats the striker setup like?

Thanks guys, it is a sweet shooter and looks kick ass. I would like to have built it as a postie but have no where to shoot it. not having a place to shoot mg's is killing me as I have built a lot of cool toys for others.
the striker is similar to the vector rpd, it rides in the stock tube and on a guide rod.
That finish looks nice and thick. If you and Jorge ever come up north you've got a place to shoot whatever you want.
Dang, pirate. That really is a beauty!

|GTA V Latest News | #GTAV | #GTAOnline
2005 GTA: The Trilogy and SA: Special Edition - October 18th
GTAGaming.com - Rockstar/Take2 News | @ 05:19 PM MDT | By rappo
Today, Take2Games announced that they will be publishing Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy for the Xbox and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Special Edition for the PlayStation 2 on October 18th. The trilogy will obviously include GTAIII, Vice City, and San Andreas - all for the Xbox. This is ideal for gamers new to the genre (which isn't a huge population anymore).
However, the San Andreas Special Edition will be a nice treat for PS2 owners that are interested in some bonus features. It probably won't be an ideal buy for current San Andreas owners, but it packs some goodies that may interest people.
In addition to losing the AO for Adults Only rating, the game will feature The Introduction, a featurette documenting events before the onset of GTA: San Andreas. The series of intertwining stories are told from the point of view of several of the game's characters, leading up to a drive-by shooting of Grove Street gang members.
Also on the Special Edition will be Sunday Driver, Rockstar's debut documentary film. The movie follows a low rider car club in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Compton. The movie was directed by Carol Strong, and it brings viewers into the world of The Majestics, a group that customizes cars in South Central. The film will also be released on UMD format for the PSP.
Both games will have an M rating and are scheduled to come out on October 18, 2005. Although the Rockstar Warehouse has not been updated with pre-order information, I'm sure we'll be seeing that very soon.

On week one, the hive appeared healthy and well. little brood. fall season.
On week three, only the queen and about 100 bees remained. No brood. Plenty of honey. fall season
had just treated for mites and nosema. No dead bees in or in front of hive.
On week five, hive with 1/2 inch of "sawdust" apearing piles of fine wax flakes. Very attractive to visiting bees and lots of dead bees in the hive. Sticky "sawdust" (prob wax) everywhere.
I removed it from the other nearby healthy hives and am not sure what the sawdust appearing wax particles are all about. I assume CCD initially. No evidence of mite overgrowth, or AFB, moths, etc.
