Notacon - Day 1
Below are Brian's notes from Day 1. Not many editing changes, but since Brian asked, I did my job.
Be sure to add your comments,
Notacon - Day 1
Here are the notes from 3 of the sessions I attended on Day 1. I do have to say that I expected more from this con. There were not a lot of people there in my opinion (like 200 or so maybe). A lot of the sessions were heavy with opinions and not too much of a geek factor. A lot of the other sessions started late or had issues getting started at all. This is only their 4th year doing this con, so we'll cut them a little slack. But what follows are my notes from those 3 sessions:
8080 Corruption (Presenter: Jim Leonard)
Using an old PC (the first home PC from IBM) Jim was about to display higher end graphics. It was cool to see such an outdate PC used to display higher end graphics. 8088 corruption is a 4 MHz (1981) CPU with 16 fixed colors. This is why it is so outstanding, because the graphics processing is so old school and Jim has been able to make full motion video. To accomplish this task you have to research the hardware and what kind of programming is needed to get to display the video.
Jim then goes on to explain the difficulties of hacking the hardware and the human mind to make sure the video displayed is able to be comprehended. He shows the group how different fames per second in video and bits per second sound can be lowered to save bandwidth and resources so his 8088 computer is able to display the video and sound we are able to comprehend. Now the video displayed for his presentation was boxy and grainy, but you where able to understand and see what was happening. The trick according to Jim is that the human mind will see things it recognizes and then built the rest of the image for you so you see more than just the little colored boxes moving around the screen.
One of the technical areas he discussed was how to make more colors out of the 16 supported colors the systems has by default. He also talked about the processes he tried in order to get the video to work where the images' bit rates were viewable and comprehendible.
All in all the talk was interesting and goes to show how dedication to achieving a goal has no limits and older computer hardware might still have some cool uses for hardware hacking.
Grid Computing with Alchemi & .NET (Presenter: Kn1ghl0rd)
Kn1ghl0rd started his talk by explaining how grid computing works and the difference between industrial grids and the lower-end, home-brewed Alchemi grids. He then explained the different components of grid computing and how they work together.
Grid computing is used a lot by the science and research communities. They use the processing power to do high-end research that signal computers do not have the power to handle. But with Alchemi you can gain a certain level of grid computing at home or over the internet with the help of friends.
Alchemi is open source grid computing platform for the .Net Framework. It only needs 2 parts to build a grid:
1) Manager: Handles storage of threads and allocations to the nodes.
2) Executer: Runs threads in a sandbox on one or more of the client computers.
Kn1ghl0rd explained what .NET is and how it works. He covered the different versions of .NET and the functionality of each version of .NET
• .NET version 1 (NT, 95, 98, ME)
• .Net Version 2 (2k, XP, & 2K3)
• .Net Version 3 (Vista)
He then touched on Visual Studio for Microsoft and explained the basics of .Net coding and the pros and cons to it.
Concerns with Communications:
Network Traffic: For obvious reasons.
PC Performance: The program will check to see if the computer is ideal first before accepting threads. It waits for 2 minutes to make sure the PC is ideal and then it starts a thread. If the PC starts to be used during a thread it will stop operation after that thread is completed.
Harmful Threads: Since all threads are run in a sandbox the risk of malicious code on your computer is next to none.
Kn1ghl0rd covered the basics on how .Net works the different versions of .Net. He also went through how to install and setup Alchemi grid computing. His attention to detail was outstanding as he covered the pros and cons of Alchemi including the possible security concerns with how the grid communicates and how some of the execution threads being sent over the internet pass username and password in plaintext. But since the execution threads are launched in a sandbox, you should be safe.
Patterns in the Net (Speaker: Valdias Krebs)
Social Network Analysis or SNA is a visual and mathematical analysis of how people interact, exchange info and learn.
Prolog (Coding):
Best Language for "hacking sociology"
He explained how he used Prolog coding to map and analyze social networks.
Snowball Sampling
• Follow the data
• 2 steps out from the staring point
• ask X: who do you interact with?
-X answers "y & Z"
• Ask Y and Z: Who do you interact with?
• Six degrees vs. two steps or degrees
Note: Step one & two are the truly important contacts or info. Anything further out is not reliable.
You can use mapping software to view you network of contacts.
He then shows us some of his mapped networks of different kinds of data from social networks and then compared it to Routing AS networks (routing protocol like BGP or OSPF). His trending showed that man made or artificial networks tend to look like hub and spoke networks and natural networks (mapping people to people like the 6 degree theory) tend to be much more random looking.
This presentation kind of reminded me of the TV show, "Numbers," because this guy sounded like the actor on that show. He kept pushing the idea that math can figure out everything. He explained that how after 9-11 he made a network of contacts from the different suspects of 911 via names he pulled out of the media. It was interesting how he built his network from just public media reports, but I felt that the data from the media is not always accurate.
He also kind of leapt from math into politics and tried to show how the US is divided by left and right wing. The basis of information he used was from Amazon Books selections and what books people buy. I began to feel that the network charts he made were not very accurate, because the source data he was using was not verifiable. On a positive note, he did keep the attention of the room. In the end the session was interesting, but the speaker did tend to go off on a political path. It seemed as though he was trying to use the networks he mapped to justify his feelings on all kinds of world events.
Final Thoughts: Day 1
As I always say, the best part of going to these cons is meeting people from the security community. And this was no different as I was able to meet up with a special agent from the Air Force hoping to learn more on computer forensics. It was cool networking with him, and we stayed up most of the night going over different hacking tools. I was able to demonstrate my last paper with the free WiFi from Layer 2 (MAC) security. So all was not lost, and I look forward to Day 2.

You just gonna toss that bottle cap?Posted by Donna Freedman on Jun 15, 2010 | 80 comments
Yesterday I bought three 12-packs of Diet Coke for $6.99. That is not a typo. I took advantage of a buy-two-get-one-free sale and "bought" one of the two with a "free 12-pack" coupon that I got from My Coke Rewards. I'll be all set for quite a while as regards my caffeine of choice.
Before you hit "submit" on the Comments button, let me assure you that I already know carbonated soft drinks are not good for me. I already have a dental hygienist sister who is happy to point this out. But what's life without a little sin?
My Coke Rewards is a pretty simple program. Each bottle cap from a Coke product (which includes Minute Maid bottled juices, Powerade and flavored Dasani water) has a code worth three points. Multi-can packages bear codes worth 10 to 25 points. It costs nothing to sign up.
I'm not getting paid to write this, by the way. I'm writing because I like the program. It gets me free soft drinks, free movie tickets and occasionally other free items as well.
Those of you who think it isn't worth the effort: Have you priced movie tickets lately?
When I was really broke a few years ago, one of the Christmas gifts I gave my daughter was half a dozen movie tickets. Among other presents I've "bought" this way are a movie-themed T-shirt, a NASCAR cap (a friend's son is a big racing fan) and a couple of magazine subscriptions.
Apparently I'm not alone. While I was doing interviews for a column called "Free gift codes – yes, really!" I was told the company sees a big jump in redemptions late each year. "We assume it's people giving Christmas gifts," a Coca-Cola spokeswoman told me.
Bottle bonanza
It generally takes me a couple of weeks or more to go through a 12-pack of Diet Coke. (Depends on how many deadlines occur in a given week.) Yet personal consumption doesn't affect my points-gathering much because most of my codes come from someplace other than my fridge.
A friend of mine saves caps for me. I've found 12- and 24-pack boxes in the recycle bin at my building; if I can reach them, they're mine. (The fact that I own one of those Gopher tools ensures that just about all of them are within my reach.)
I regularly find codes when I'm out on walks. If they're still attached to bottles, I recycle the bottle when I get home.
When I lived in Seattle the cashier at my favorite teriyaki joint let me take codes off boxes while I waited for my food. She even lends me her scissors. (Once I tried to decline, saying that having a bladed instrument violates the conditions of my parole. Apparently some jokes don't translate well, or at all — the young woman merely looked puzzled.)
The lion's share of my codes used to come from the University of Washington campus. The plastic recycle bins at the library are bottle bonanzas, since students + homework = caffeine. Additionally, campus trashcans have a section at the top just for bottles and cans. If a Coke product bottle was peeking out, I'd grab it. These days I tend to get them while dumpster wading.
All together now: Eeeewwww, pick up soda caps from a dirty old street? Pull bottles out of a recycle bin? I'd never do that!
Fine. Don't do that. It leaves more for me and anyone else who likes free stuff.
Just another (slightly sticky) frugal hack
I know I'm not the only person who harvests codes, because I've gotten feedback from MSN Money readers. One woman picked up a staggering 375 bottle caps after a community festival. I wish.
If you decide to do this, here are some tips:
- Some caps are sticky; hand sanitizer is a good thing to have if there's no water source.
- Keep an old plastic bag in your purse or backpack (see "sticky caps," above).
- If you're reaching into a trashcan, give it a tap first to shake loose any squirrels or wasps attracted by the sweet smell of Barq's.
- Ask family or friends to save caps or box codes.
- Check the recycle bin/lunchroom trashcans at your workplace. Several readers told me they or their partners do this; in some cases they also cash in for the 5-cent bottle deposits.
You're limited to one account per person, five accounts per household and 10 accounts per physical address. In other words, get your partner and/or roommate and/or kids into the act.
Yes, it takes time to get enough codes for many freebies, especially since you can enter only 120 points per week. Thus it takes about a month (485 points) to get an AMC theater ticket plus a free fountain drink; for 900 points you can get two tickets plus one fountain drink. The magazine subscriptions I gave cost 100 and 133 points. The 12-packs are 240 points.
But if you like getting free stuff in the mail? Definitely worth it.
If you're unemployed, underemployed or trying to pay down debt? Sending for freebies is one way to stretch your budget/allow for some fun. I'd have as many as a dozen movie tickets stockpiled — and they don't expire. (Now that I live in Anchorage, which doesn't have any AMC theaters, I use my points for free 12-packs of Diet Coke and hang on to the coupons until there's a sale worthy of frugal-hacking.)
If you're looking at a lean holiday season? Some of those premiums make great stocking stuffers or presents. (Just ask the kid with the NASCAR hat. He practically wore it in the shower, according to his mom.)
Incidentally, there is a way to get some extra codes: By referring new users. Anyone who wants to sign up for the program can leave a comment and I'll send a referral link to the e-mail associated with the comment. Or write to me at SurvivingAndThriving (at) live (dot) com and I'll shoot you the link.
It's not a huge bonus, just 10 points. Then again, any extras look good to somebody who's willing to pick bottles up off the ground. And even if you think that's disgusting, at least give me props for recycling litter.

Don't do it man. Better to be surprised... besides, they're not following the comics page by page anyway. A few minor tweaks here and there.
**** the comic books. Don't need to get spoiled yet, even if its a little different.
Man this show is incredible. This episode was perfectly mixed with action/drama and character development.
I'm already going through withdrawal....
So who do you guys think was watching Carol from the woods?
Let's put the women and children to bed and go lookin' for dinner
No idea, probably a character we've already seen from a preview IMO.
I really think it's Daryls brother.
Carl was acting a little strange... maybe it was him.

Quotes of the day
posted at 10:20 pm on September 30, 2011 by Allahpundit
"A recent Gallup survey shows that, among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, Herman Cain has the highest net favorability rating of anyone in the current GOP presidential field. Cain's net favorability rating among those who are familiar with him is +62 points (77 percent hold a favorable opinion of him, while 15 percent hold an unfavorable opinion). Rick Perry is 2nd, with a +54 net favorability rating among those who are familiar with him (71 percent favorable, 17 percent unfavorable). Most of the 2-week survey, however, was conducted before the most recent GOP debate (in which Perry struggled) and before the subsequent Florida straw poll (won by Cain) — so the gap between Cain and Perry has likely widened…
"Cain also ranks first among those who feel "strongly" (either way), as 27 percent have a 'strongly favorable' opinion of him, while only 1 percent hold a 'strongly unfavorable' opinion."
"Does a résumé like Herman Cain's add up to an American presidency? I used to think not. But after watching the American Idol system we've fallen into for discovering a president—with opinion polls, tongue slips and media caprice deciding front-runners and even presidents—I'm rewriting my presidential-selection software…
"The GOP nominee is running against the incumbent president. Unlike the incumbent, Herman Cain has at least twice identified the causes of a large failing enterprise, designed goals, achieved them, and by all accounts inspired the people he was supposed to lead. Not least, Mr. Cain's life experience suggests that, unlike the incumbent, he will adjust his ideas to reality.
"Herman Cain is a credible candidate. Whether he deserves to be president is something voters will decide. But he deserves a serious look."
"But money, as it were, is a problem: While Romney and Perry have a ton of it, Cain lacks the fundraising network of his better-known rivals. And that's not the only issue. Cain is competing with Perry, Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum for social conservatives, and that means he needs to do respectably in Iowa, where they make up a major chunk of the GOP electorate. But Cain has little organization in the state – as evidenced by his fifth place finish in the Iowa straw poll – and some his staff in the state quit because they didn't think the campaign was putting in a serious effort.
"A Cain campaign official acknowledged to CBS News that the candidate is unlikely to win Iowa. But the campaign hopes to survive the state – a third-place finish would be enough, though Cain has claimed he'd be 'ecstatic' with fifth-place – and then hold on until South Carolina.
"It's a state Cain's campaign believes the candidate can win — and thus eventually get to the White House. Cain hails from nearby Georgia, where he hosted a radio show that could be heard across the border; the state is also 28 percent African-American and highly religious, which makes it demographically appealing for Cain, a Baptist minister. And the open primary means Democrats and independents who support Cain can cast ballots."
"The absence of GOP competition for the black vote has allowed the left wing to demagogue the Republican party in the most negative of terms within the black community, without much of a GOP response. Take for instance that comment from Melissa Harris-Perry that I discussed Wednesday, about how the Republican party is not the 'party of civil rights.' It is asserted far and wide that the GOP represents little more than the crudest, most reflexive form of Goldwaterism. It's just not true, so where is the Republican pushback? If Democrats tried to slander the GOP among, say, Catholic voters, you'd see the Republican establishment move heaven and earth to counter such a scurrilous charge. But because the black vote is not up for grabs, this kind of blatant falsehood ends up going unchallenged…
"Cain is right – there is potential for Republicans among African Americans, at least in theory. White conservatives overwhelmingly vote Republican, but black conservatives do not. According to the American National Elections Study, John Kerry won about 90 percent of the black conservative vote. White moderates usually split their votes between the two parties, according to the study, but black moderates do not. Again, Kerry won better than 90 percent. By granting left wing demagogues complete freedom to mischaracterize conservative Republicanism to the black community, the party consistently loses black conservatives and moderates who might otherwise consider the GOP. This, in turn, helps prevent the big policy breakthroughs the GOP hasn't seen for a generation…
"Herman Cain would not be able to change any of this overnight. And maybe not at all — it would take a great deal of political capital, a deft touch, and a little bit of luck. But the point is this: a Republican candidate for national office, who took competing for the black vote seriously, might help revive Republicanism in the black community. The process could be similar to the kind of top-down advancement the GOP enjoyed in the South after World War II — when Dwight Eisenhower, the Texas-born national hero who beat the Nazis, convinced Dixie to give the Republican party a second look. If Herman Cain could do that for the GOP with African Americans, there would be a real potential not only for the party to do better nationwide, but for African Americans to leverage their voting strength more effectively."

I, too, will buy 10 of them from you.
I will take 20
If I am not to late I would like to get on the list for ten also!
Me too. I would like to be put down for 10 if not to late...
I would like to be put on the list also...thanks
Drop 10 my way as well.
I'll take 10
Everyone up to Mbeck has been added to the list.
I was told that the Chinese New Year may interfere with this order. That will delay shipment until February 16th if that is so. In a nut shell this is a busy time of year because many people are aware of the problem with the New Year so their shipping department is behind on getting orders out.
Ship 10 clips my way as well!
Thanks for sharing!
I will take ten Thank you
I am closing in on half of the clips having been reserved. Rusty Hills Farm, and naturaledge have both been added to the list.
I will do 10 if possible.
I'll also take 10
I have this offer running on two different groups. One of the problems with that is I tend to forget what I have posted where and when. I don't really have time to search the entire thread to see if I posted updates. So if I get redundant I apologize now.
Tdog and oblib you are both on the list.
Recent info is that the Chinese new year will interfere with this order. I am not expecting to get this order until mid February. The problem is in the shipping department. Most people that deal with China are aware of the bottle neck there holiday causes and try to get order through before it happens. this causes a huge problem for there shipping departments. sort of like Christmas does here in the US.
Anyway even if I pay for the order today they do not think they could get it shipped until after their new year. This is not anything weird. I have dealt with this every year I have been doing this. I transferred the money to my pay pal account and am waiting for pay pal to show it in my balance. that takes a few days. Good news is I did the transfer a few days ago so I should have the money where I need it any moment.
So that is how things set at the moment. So everyone keep fingers crossed and with a little luck you will all have nice new queen clips when you get out to play with the bees in the spring. Besides if I get them to you to soon you will just stash them away and have forgotten what you did with them when you need them anyway. I get more reorders that way.
Is there still time to put me down for 10?
Living the dream!
Payment was sent mid morning yesterday. I was reminded again that the Holiday will delay shipping.
I will let you all know when the clips arrive. Don't expect it until the latter half of Feb at best.
Could you put me down for 10?
With NGAnderson above I am right at half the clips spoken for and several people saying they may up their order depending on how many clips fit in a box. My best guess is that possibly 2/3rds of these clips will be reserved before I even get them.
Penzi, you are on the list.
As of this morning 690 out of 1000 clips are spoken for. At that rate by tomorrow at this time they could be gone.
I can make a second order if there is enough demand after this one is complete. the only way I can order more than 1000 in this order is if people pay in advance. I am trying to avoid that.


text: Quick couple questions I have a 2010 Silverado 5.3L it has the active fuel management in it but I dont have the buttons to view it. How do I know when it activates and is there anything I can do to be able to view things like my tire pressure in my odometer line, I have the monitor but no way to view it. Also I have the electronic transfer case but the dash 4x4 light doesn't come on but the dial light does, does that dash light only come on with manual transfer cases. Also does anyone have any experience with a CAI or tonneau cover saving mileage?

A Northwest Passage to Discovery
The Lodge At Suttle Lake • Sisters, OR
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two People in Any Lodge Room Type Based on Availability ($249)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Up to Four People in a Waterfront Cabin ($299)
- $100 Spa Credit
- Bottle of Champagne Upon Arrival
- To-Go Snack Pack Upon Checkout
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Four Nights
The Destination
For three centuries, the draw of a mythical Northwest Passage sent explorers across North America in a series of fruitless searches. Though the existence of such a waterway was finally disproven, the allure of Oregon's Deschutes National Forest is stronger than ever. Suttle Lake covers 253 acres deep in the center of the park, and has become a mecca for outdoor recreation with the stewardship of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, which stocks its waters with rainbow trout.
The Digs
Answer the call of the wild at The Lodge at Suttle Lake, named among the Best Small Inns & Lodges in Oregon by Frommer's. The resort, spread across the banks of Suttle Lake, affords sweeping mountain views and the splendor of pristine forest. Its rustic elegance enchants visitors seeking a hidden getaway with signature Northwest touches, like unique guest rooms each modeled after a local Native American symbol.
The Diversions
You'll wake up feeling refreshed after a night in your Cascadian-inspired accommodations under the soaring pines of the Deschutes National Forest. You can treat yourself to breakfast before venturing outdoors on a wildlife hike to see osprey, eagles, deer, and otter. Then, trek out to the water for kayaking, canoeing, paddle boating, rafting, fishing, or other aquatic activities popular in the warmer months. During winter, backcountry skiing and snowshoeing are the best ways to explore the forest. At the close of your day scouting natural bounty, relax at the spa or savor a meal at on-site restaurant The Boathouse.
After all, there may be no cross-continental outlet to the Pacific, but this Escape is a world of discovery.
"Built in the Grand Cascadian style, this 10,000 square-foot lodge presides over the eastern side of Suttle Lake. Supersized wooden architecture and whimsical charm characterize the main Great Room, which is often flooded with light."-- Read Fodor's Review of The Lodge at Suttle Lake

I have been dreading this thread (ferts required)
Ok so I have a plan, have a substrate (eco complete) and now I need a liquid fert. I'm really nervous as in the past ferts and me led to a lot of algae. Granted I know a lot more than I did when I first started out BUT I'm unsure of which fert will work best for me. The tank is a 50gal, Lots of plants and a carpet (fingers crossed) pressurized co2 and red plants in amongst the mix.
In short, I'm looking for a fert which has no NPK, loves HC cuba and Brazilian Micro sword, will keep my plants red. and is least likely to cause algae.
So far my I have on my list flourish and tropicas new liquid ferts (although they contain far less in terms of "ingredients.") and I guess I'm looking for your input and recommendations.
You are looking for trouble avoiding K, P. & N. If you are running pressurized CO2 & your lighting is up to speed you will be making an algae farm without The big nutrients. Plants need proper nutrients to compete with the algae. Algae can operate with very low nutrient levels & out compete your plants. It is a myth to think that keeping low Nitrates & phosphates will keep algae away. It is actually the opposite.
I would dose dry ferts , which when mixed are really liquid ferts. The tank needs to stay above 10 ppms of Nitrate at all times. PO4 should stay between (.5-1.0) ppm at least. K every other day at least. The tank will need good flow & filtration to keep BGA away as well. The lighting needs to be between 6500-6700k or your looking for trouble know matter how you cut it.
NPK are your macro ferts, why would you only dose trace?
Thats right. You will need trace as well. In that case I would drop the Flourish & dose dry ferts specific (trace + Boron). Dose EI & reset the tank 1 time every week for a reset. This way your plants will be getting all their needs & any extra will be taken out at the end of the week.
A suggestion to test your tap water for PO4 & nitrates so you might have to tweak your dosing slightly. Also you need to check on your gh & kh as well . A TDS meter comes in handy & can help determine reset time. As the water ages the TDS will climb & give you an indication on reset time. Your Gh will climb slightly if dosing extra Mg & Ca which I would recommend since they are important redox elements an important to fish health as well as plants.
Also guys while I appreciate the advice. I know my tank and my water parameters and really don't want or need (and I mean this in the most respectful way) convincing about npk when I stated to begin with that I was looking for a liquid fert that didn't contain any npk.
If you had a big fish load than you would register some nitrates if your test kit was working correctly. I trust API.
It is not just me, just read what Tom Barr has to say about Nitrates as well as Amano. They know a lot more than I or you do with all respect.
Now in my tank, if I let my nitrates crash for even 1 day algae comes back. But not just the nitrates but ALL nutrients if not dosed ball park. PO4 should not crash. I ran other tanks before with similar conditions & trying to keep nitrates low caused massive problems for me. All kinds of algae.
Now if you have such a big fish load why would you not pick up it on your test kit?
I am currently dosing 10-20ppms pf Nitrate an my tank is cranking so much o2 right now that my canisters are blowing o2 out sometimes for minutes straight. Gurgling in o2, & NO ALGAE. Granted I have a light fish load but I am lacking ammonium that you have an I do not. Plants prefer ammonium over nitrates. When I had more fish in my tank the plants grew even faster with the fish + dry Nitrate dosing. At the moment I have a full carpet + heavy plant growth with only medium medium high light . I have to trimat least 1 time a week, with no algae detectable on the plants dosing 10-20ppm nitrate & 1 ppm PO4 with all the other nutrients all being liquid. If you had a lot of algae maybe your filtration is lacking & flow. Also you never mentioned what kind of lighting your running & what spectrum? Presurrized co2 or not?
Before we go any further I think I should state that my tank was/is a dirt tank with an inert cap. C02 @ 1bpm for 8 hours a day. I understand Tom Barr has his approach but it isn't one I chose to follow. My phosphates are high from the tap and when measured literally off the chart. My nitrates before going dirt registered at about 5-15ppm (usually 10ppm) before the weekly water change. My water is teaming with organics. Sometimes it comes out looking as white is milk. Will sit a fizz for a good 5 minutes after leaving the tap. At times my water has a mirky brown in appearance and a distinct smell. I should state that I test my water weekly (I like to keep notes on it even though they mostly remain uniform) I use both api and nutrafin. Personally I prefer nutrafin as the base reading is always clear/water so even barely readable amounts will show up if present.
NPK and nitrates in my tank spells disaster. lol I once read a thread on tom barrs forum where he mixed up a cup of nitrates and poured it in. If I did the same for my tank then I'm pretty sure within a week it'd turn fluorescent pink. Yup that is an exaggeration but best illustrates my point.
There is more than one approach to this hobby of ours. Tom Barr's is one I respect but simply can not follow.
Thats why I mentioned testing your tap. Well you finally mentioned something new & different. Dirt is cool but out of my realm. The only suggestion I would dare to mention at this point would be to think, or experiment with remineralized & gh+Kh boosted 100% R/O water from your tap. That would bring your Nitrates & PO4 to all most zero to start with.
I like the idea of dirt tanks & 1 day I plan to set 1 up. Before starting these threads I would make sure most important info is out on the table so maybe you would get proper advice. Leaving the dirt out was lacking much info.
I think it would make an interesting experiment to use 100% remineralized R/O + dose additional nitrate the whole 9 yards an see what happens. What is the worst that can happen? If your on the wrong track tanks respond quickly to positive changes. Try 1 tank with dry ferts & 1 without & see what happens. My 3 cents. Maybe if the lights stay low enough Flourish alone will work?
I also recommend dosing NPK, not only will your plants be healthier, but I dont think a healthy carpet is achievable without it, (assuming its dhg, hc, glosso?)
otherwise a crypt parva or dwarf sag carpet is very achievable in your conditions
Well at 1bpm CO2, and phosphates and nitrates in source water,,you may not need much in the way of NP ,maybe a bit of pottasium ,maybe not.
Flourish comprehensive has a little bit of everything but as mentioned is mostly trace/water.
If you were to increase present lighting,CO2,then you may find you need a little bit more of everything.(or not depending on that in source water).
Just my two cent's.
Algae disappeared after I began dosing nitrates and phosphates.
Personally I would say do not assume that the fauna sends enough phosphates/nitrates in the water especially when injecting CO2, if it does, it is merely luck. Measure what you can, and watch plants/algae's behaving carefully.
You can probably get away with dosing potassium an fluorish to be honest to you.... Dirt is a miracle worker
I am switching from dirt to eco complete
Then you must dose npk eventually. It's the honest truth. Maybe not so much N if you have enough fish but 100% sure P and K and micros must be added eventually.

[Article]-The Business Case for HDD Wiping
RichM has a new topic for all of you in the trenches. It's not sexy, but everyone with a real day-to-day job in IT (regardless of whether your job description specifically states security) has the unfortunate need to deal with these types of issues. You'll even find a recommendation on a free open source tool to get the job done.

Permanent Link: [Article]-The Business Case for HDD Wiping
This month's installment is inspired by all of the other tasks that require our attention which allows important things to slip through the cracks. What amounts to general laziness is really just a symptom of a much bigger problem: lack of time. As administrators we are expected to keep all machines (basically if it plugs into a wall, we should have encyclopedic knowledge about it) up to date, users should always be productive, oh and maintain a secure yet usable network. If that was the end it might be manageable, but of course there is always several "special" projects that require research, testing and most importantly time to implement. Therefore I understand when a menial task like formatting a hard drive doesn't get done, but I can't say that lack of time is a justifiable excuse.
Old hard drives are a rich source of unknown hidden treasures, even if they were only used by a temp or even a personal assistant. As is very common in corporate times, passwords are shared without much issue. If I had a nickel for each time I heard or watched a supervisor/Chief _____ Officer log into his assistant's machine, do some work, then log out, I would probably be writing this sitting in the sand under a palm tree.
In an effort to express the importance of sanitizing old hard drives, I present to you two scenarios, each with its own level of severity. Ultimately you have to decide if the extra effort is justified for the potential "what ifs" that are outlined below.
Let the discussions begin,

Ben Mihelich tossed in a short jumper at the buzzer as Wauwatosa East beat Pius XI in a 49-47 thriller in a WIAA regional game Friday night before a packed house at East.
Popes junior guard Donovan Jackson tied the game at 47-47 with his second straight 3-pointer with 10.2 seconds left. After a timeout, East senior Ben Carpenter inbounded the ball, passed the ball to another senior Kyle Vnuk at mid-court, who in turn passed the ball back to Carpenter racing down the left side of the court.
With time running out Carpenter, who looked like he was going to try a 3-pointer, instead threw a bullet pass to Mihelich, who tossed up a short jumper, which rolled around the rim and fell through for the game winner.
Carpenter actually thought Vnuk was fouled, but when no call was made, he called for the ball and made his big play.
"I was so excited," he said. "It was cool. It was cool. The energy was something else. We haven't had that many people (watching) in like, forever. It was fun."
When asked when he knew when his first game-winning shot was going in, Mihelich said, "After it went through the bottom of the net.
"Ben Carpenter made a good pass and we got a good 1-on-1 shot, which is what we were looking for."
East coach Tim Arndorfer knew he had to change up some things after a 14-14 first half.
"We knew we had to change the tempo; I think the press helped out a little bit. We got a couple steals and our defense turned into our offense. We were struggling. That's a good defensive basketball team. Size in the middle and a lot of athletic guards around the perimeter."
Arndorfer had wanted the ball in the hands of his two best ballhandlers - Nate Moore and Anthony Carroll.
"We wanted to get the ball up the floor. With 10 seconds left, you can do a lot of things. You are going to get a good look. Kyle made an excellent pass and Carp made an unbelievable find. What can you say about Mihelich's shot?
"Unorthodox finish, but it went through and that's all that mattered I guess."
Tosa East was led by Mihelich's 13 points, while Carroll and Derrick Hurt had 8 each. The Raiders held Levi Bradley to 14 points before he fouled out with 20.9 seconds left and Jackson was just sensational with 26 points including the two game-tying 3s at the end of the game.
The Red Raiders sank 20-for-24 free throws, while the Popes were 7-for-11. East is now 14-9 while Pius finished the year 13-10.
East travels to Wisconsin Lutheran on Saturday to play a 7 p.m. regional championship game. The Vikings crushed Messmer, 72-34.

I was a makeup artist for five years and not one of the women whom I made up ever left my chair without looking at the final result! I handed her a hand mirror so she could see it and if she did not like it I could fix it. That really would have given her the time to fix it! Remember, never leave your hair dresser without looking at the back of your hair and never leave a makeup artists chair without checking on the final result! Are you that trusting of people that you never check out the results?
Posted at 5:10 PM on August 28, 2011
also disagree with telling people what foundation/blush,eyeshadow,etc they should wear, its really tacky and rude.
These women that were posted look PERFECTLY FINE! take their photos around the globe and people will agree with me. Some people prefer to look pale/paler…look at dita von teese for instance, she stays clear from the sun to avoid darkening in an interview she told reporters that. Some people like to be darker and sun kissed with bronzer on top of that, its your personal preference. Its just jealousy that someone would point that out, who is anyone to tell someone theyre wearing a too light or too dark foundation, because there is no such thing. Nicole and Sam from pixiwoo(huge makeupartists in Britain) sometimes wear paler or darker foundation and it looks gorgeous! as long as people blend it to the neck its fine….some people prefer to look bright and radiant rather than dim and dark/dull. People who are already light can wear any foundation they want and not look ashen

Print-friendly recipe
Persian-Style Cherry and Almond Rice
Bring 4 cups water and salt to a boil in a medium pot. Meanwhile, place rice in a colander and rinse well with warm water. Add rice to boiling water and boil briskly for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain rice in colander.
In the pot, stir together 1 tablespoon oil, yogurt, 1/4 cup rice from the colander, and 1 tablespoon saffron water. Spread this mixture oven the bottom of the pot. Place 2 large scoops of rice into the pot, then 1/4 cup cherries. Repeat, alternating layers of rice and cherries in the shape of a pyramid; this shape helps the rice cook evenly and form a crispy bottom crust. Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.
Pour a mixture of the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/2 cup water over the pyramid. Pour remaining 1 tablespoon saffron water over pyramid. Place a clean dish towel or 2 paper towels over pot (this will help absorb moisture in the rice, keeping the grains separate); cover firmly with lid and cook 45 minutes longer over low heat.
Remove pot from heat, and allow to cool on a damp surface for 5 minutes. (This will help loosen the golden crust at the bottom.) Gently scoop rice onto a serving platter, sprinkling with almonds and mounding into the shape of a pyramid. Use a spatula to remove crust from the bottom of the pot, and serve this on the side.

MacBook Air for travel photographersPosted: June 8, 2011 Filed under: Photography, Technology | Tags: Apple, MacBook AIR, photography, Technology Comments Off on MacBook Air for travel photographers
A workshop participant recently asked me about whether the MacBook Air is a good choice for travel photographers. I responded with a few main points that I would consider if I found myself one day inside the Apple Store with a credit card in hand.
The MacBook Air is a great choice for travel photographers. The obvious selling point is its weight – 2.3 lbs (~1 Kg). However, with this small form factor design, you'll have to give up a few things that have been with the MacBook family for a number of years. Here's a short list:
1. Hard Drive: Instead of traditional hard drives found on other MacBooks, the Air has completely switched to flash storage. The advantage of using SSD flash memory is speed. As there are no moving parts, it's also more shock resistant and in theory less prone to mechanical problems. Macworld has posted some initial speed 'torture' test and found that there is no performance degradation over time. This is excellent news. The disadvantage of using SSD flash memory, however, is the price per gigabyte. Right now Apple is only offering maximum 128 GB of storage with the 11-inch model. If you require more storage, it will have to be through external drives.
2. Ports: The Air lacks any Firewire ports but it does have one USB 2 port on either side. In addition, the 11-in model does not have the SD card slot which is available on the 13-in model. I'm a fan of Firewire 800 as I have 2 portable drives for travel so it will be an issue for user like me. If you are planning on using external USB 2 drives then this will not be problematic. Please note that in order to connect the Air to ethernet, an adapter is required.
3. Graphics: According to the Macworld benchmark tests, the graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 320M – 256 MB) does provide speedy graphics. However, I have not tested it against the MacBook Pros with graphics intensive photo apps like Lightroom or Aperture so I reserve my comment until I have the chance to do so.

It is so sad when people make vows, a covenant with God, and then break them. It is so sad when people don't realize that after the chemical attraction dies, REAL LOVE is a CHOICE. That's how you know it is real, because you choose it. How many more families will be broken, children left with broken ideals and sad examples of the commitment of marriage, and the emotional damage goes on while the parents say…" that's just the way life goes sometimes". Death is inevitable, NOT DIVORCE. Divorce is a choice made via giving up….great example for our children, no? Peter has a responsibility, to hold and protect his family with all of his might; to protect them physically and emotionally and allow them the rare privilege of ideals. To show them how you hold on with love, patience, and faith. Jenny has a responsibility to support him in this, together providing safety for their family. Once you are married, there is no such thing as MOVING ON, just MOVING FORWARD, TOGETHER! and instead of quoting another popular worldly song in a tweet to excuse one's self for giving up, tweeting a worship song about letting go of pain and disappointment and forgiving each other and moving forward together as man and wife honoring your vows would be much more admirable. One day, I pray Peter will man up, and take hold of his responsibilities and family with a feverish love that he chooses to never let end. I pray that God give him the strength to give his family a happy ending. I pray that he gives his girls and his wife the sense of security that they need in their father and husband. I pray that Peter would have the strength to break away from whatever caused him to pull away from his family…..the one he helped create and was supposed to protect, honor and hold together. I pray that differences can be loved, vows can be honored, forgiveness can take place, and love will once again be chosen. And food for thought, if the doctors tell you that your daughter has a rare disease that they have limited treatment available and she only has a year or two to live, do you just accept it and watch her die, holding onto every last precious moment so you can write a book one day? Or do you research and search for all sorts of treatment options available in other parts of the world and then find a way to make that available to your girl even if you have to sell the house and move into an apartment or a mobile home? Why would you just try marriage counseling? YOU MADE VOWS. If counseling doesn't work, then GO ANOTHER ROUTE! This isn't a gamble in Vegas where you put all your money on one damn table! Find books, go to seminars, seek more help, transform your mind! I really don't care whose ring is off or what papers were signed or even if someone already started dating…….. If marriage was easy, it wouldn't be worth fighting for. If you GREW APART, Grow Back Together! FIGHT PETER, FIGHT! Protect, love and honor those blessings given to you. You, in your family, you are THE MAN. For them, you are the next closest thing to God. It is never too late, and the most admirable men are the ones who can not only admit to their mistakes, but take action against all odds to make things better! God bless you and your famiy.

I had the unfortunate opportunity to meet her years ago. She is mean. She is not a nice person. And I will not use the sexist term related to a female dog…but she is the epitome of the word. I feel sorry for this poor bastard she has hooked up with and from what I saw….Im sure her ex husband is counting his lucky stars to be done with her.

Any opinions on the hackler honey punch?
I've got a couple good uncapping knives, and they work well when running 8 frames in honey supers. But since I'm expanding this year, much of my comb is new and thus was run 10 frames to a box to get it drawn well. But, uncapping it has always been a pain because it's not as thick and I'm looking for a better way for a small beekeeper. Any opinions (or better methods) before I break down try one?

Notts 336 (Hussey 157, Warren 60)
Gloucestershire 103 (Ealham 5-31)
Gloucestershire 169 (Ealham 4-44)
Notts won by an innings and 64 runs
The 36-year-old starred with the ball as we thrashed Gloucestershire to extend our lead at the top of Division One.
Ealham took nine wickets inside two sessions on day two, including his first five-wicket haul for Notts and also passed 50 wickets in a season for the first time in his career.
He said: ?We?ve got ourselves in front with the points on the board and with only two games left it?s a good position to be in.
?We led from the front last year to win Division Two and we can do it again. Kent and Hampshire have to chase us now but we have to keep it going as they are the only sides to have beaten us this season.
?If we can beat Kent, we?re pretty much there. It?s going to be interesting and I?ve had this date pencilled in since the start of the season.?

Mammoth Cave Group of the Cumberland Chapter
Working Locally, in Western Kentucky!
About Sierra Club
A national environmental organization
Today, with more than 700,000 members, the national Sierra Club is America's oldest, largest, and most influential grassroots environmental organization.
Sierra Club is organized into regions across the country called CHAPTERS - which usually encompass a state. Chapters focus on chapter/state-wide issues, and are further organized into local GROUPS, which focus on local issues within their immediate Group region.
As stewards of the earth, its resources and the life it supports, members work to preserve and restore wildlands, protect endangered species, and fight for clean air and water. The Sierra Club mission is to explore, enjoy, and protect the planet.
The Cumberland Chapter and its Groups
The Cumberland CHAPTER
The Cumberland CHAPTER (a.k.a. the Kentucky Chapter), of the Sierra Club was founded in 1968, encompasses the entire Commonwealth of Kentucky, comprises 6 active Groups (and 3 regions designated for future Groups) and, since its founding, has grown to an estimated 5,000 members.
The Mammoth Cave GROUP of the Cumberland Chapter
Our Mammoth Cave GROUP includes all Cumberland Chapter members who have zip codes that begin with the following 3 digits: 421, 422, 426 and 427. These postal zip codes include the following counties:
Adair, Allen, Barren, Butler, Christian, Cumberland, Edmonson, Green, Hart, Logan, Metcalfe, Monroe, Simpson, Taylor, Todd, and Warren..
Some of the environmental issues impacting our Mammoth Cave Group area include sprawl, and air and water quality problems exacerbated by Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations and coal-fired power plants. These problems impact the health and well-being of our families and communities as well as the delicate ecosystem at Mammoth Cave National Park - the longest cave system in the world!
Several species of flora and fawna are endangered at Mammoth Cave. Some of the endangered flora include the Prairie Gentian, Small Sundrops, Eggert's Sunflower, and Buffalo Clover. Among the endangered fawna are several species of mussels, the Mammoth Cave Shrimp, the Slender Madtom fish, Bald Eagle, and several species of bats. Many reptiles and other plants and animals are listed as threatened or of special concern.
In our mission to explore, enjoy and protect the wild places of the earth we not only get involved in issues, but have a fun and active outings program. To view our upcoming outings, check out the Cumberland chapter's outings calendar. Please join us!

Soft, yellow walls frame Tuscany's interior, and there is an exposed ceiling overhead. (Michael Cooper / American Press)
Last Modified: Thursday, November 15, 2012 7:31 PM
By Ken Stickney / American Press
If you're looking for Tuscany, it's a triangle-shaped region in northwestern Italy located about thigh-high on the boot.
If you're looking for a good Italian lunch served quickly, Tuscany is a cozy treasure of a restaurant located on Ryan Street in Lake Charles.
The former, homeland of composer Giacomo Puccini and tenor Andrea Bocelli, will serve your needs for listening pleasure. The latter, located in the former home of Cedars, a Lebanese restaurant, will serve your dining needs in much less time than it takes to travel to Italy, and at a fraction of the cost.
We rolled into Tuscany Italian Restaurant at the launch of lunch hour, bypassed the appetizers and went straight to the lunch menu, which is served Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. We meant business.
I selected the eggplant parmigiana, which is my custom at any Italian spot. Colleagues Mike Cooper and Laura Heller opted for the chicken fetuccine alfredo and the manicotti, respectively.
Our first taste, though, went to the fresh baked rolls brought to our table. Cooper ordered a bowl of alfredo sauce for dipping; I thought it an odd choice, but Cooper never complains when I put my elbows on the table, so I let it pass. Our top-notch waitress, Kadi — there may have been a heart over the "i" — noted that the rolls were baked daily on site. They were fresh and delicious.
Our salads were fresh, ample and flavorful. I particularly enjoyed my dressing, a tomato basil vinegarette, according to Kadi.
My eggplant parm was spectacular, a wonder in appearance. The marinara sauce was sweet and delightful. If I were a more strategic eater, I'd have saved a portion for supper; instead, I downed it all in a single sitting. I am not ashamed.
Laura found her manicotti "bubbling hot, but very tasty." She said it had "just the right amount of cheese and sauce."
Cooper said the chicken itself in his chicken fetuccine alfredo came in a "healthy portion, with plenty of meat." The chicken, apart from the sauce, had its own flavor, he said.
The sauce, he said, was creamy but not too rich. The taste, he said, indicated that it was Tuscany's own special recipe.
"The noodles were great, not overcooked or undercooked. Just right," he said.
For dessert, I chose the plain cannoli, but there was nothing plain about it. It was sweet and sizable and fresh, right to the bite.
Cooper and Laura shared the strawberry cheesecake, which Laura described as "delectable."
"I could have eaten another piece, but I had no room left," she said. (Too bad for her; I ate what she left of her manicotti.)
Cooper said the cheesecake was fresh and creamy and noted that the "crust crumbled when it needed to." Good thing, that.
Total ticket, sans tip, was $37.06.
The restaurant site itself is a box, but the soft yellow walls, exposed ceiling and red furniture gave it a clean, neat appearance. Scenes from Italy adorn the walls, and add some cheer and atmosphere. Chianti bottles helped decorate the entrance way; chianti is a Tuscany red wine. And our server, Kadi, was the perfect ambassador for this restaurant: knowledgeable about the menu, cheerful and helpful.
Here's my Tuscany Italian Restaurant lunchtime whine: Bring me more.

And I've been saying this for years.
You may not believe it, but as long as the Giants win, I don't give 2 craps about Eli - if he's elite, top 5, top 10, or whatever. I have 0 emotional attachment to him. What draws me to Eli conversations is the same kind of thing that draws me to people defending Tebow or Sanchez.

ACE Fit Share
Starting Position: Sit on a mat/floor with your knees bent, feet together, and heels on the floor. Start with a light ball (1-2 lb) and increase the weight of the ball as your fitness level improves. Sit as tall as possible with your back erect so that your torso is perpendicular to the floor. If you have tightness in your back and legs that prevents you from getting into this position, try sitting on a cushion or a rolled mat in order to lift your hips and help facilitate a straighter spine. Hold the medicine ball close to your body between your navel and your ribcage. Use your breath to help engage the muscles of your core. On your exhale, imagine you are tightening a belt around your waist and deepen the contraction of the abdominals.
Rotation: Keeping the spine erect, exhale and slowly rotate your torso to one side, Imagine that the ball is buttoned to your torso. It should stay in place through the entire exercise. Do not allow the ball to drop toward the floor. Pause briefly at the end of the twist, inhale and then gently exhale while rotating completely to the opposite side. Repeat the movement back and forth.
Exercise Progression 1: When you can perform the movements in Step 2 easily and without strain, you can modify the starting position by slightly leaning back while keeping your knees bent and heels on the floor. Once again, keeping the ball buttoned to your torso, try to enhance rotation so that the elbow is close to, but not to resting on the floor. Keep your core and abdominal muscles active to prevent arching the back or low back discomfort during the exercise. This exercise variation increases the demands placed upon your abdominal muscles.
Exercise Progression 2: As you continue to progress, you can incorporate even greater challenge by modifying the starting position once again. Lean back halfway to the floor and lift your feet off the floor. Keep your knees bent and feet together. Once again keeping the ball buttoned to your torso, enhance the rotation by attempting to bring the elbow close to, but not to resting on, the floor. Try to keep the shoulders relaxed. Your back should remain straight. Keep your core and abdominal muscles active to prevent arching the back or low back discomfort during the exercise. This exercise variation increases the demands placed upon your abdominal muscles.Intermediate and advanced rotational exercises should only be attempted after completing the beginner exercises.

Food Revolution
Hi to Jamie & Staff,
Good on 'ya!
My son & I love your books & shows - so inspiring. (He wants to make potato salad tonight with peas & ham etc.)
William (my 6yr-old son) attends LA Unified schools - he's at Canfield School on Airdrome Blvd.
I am SOOOOOOOO irritated LA Unified turned you down on your food revolution. I feel this is political. Can't fight the system sort of thing.
William attends a food class through the STAR program - maybe you should talk to them. (LA Unified is too busy defending their whatevers.)
STAR program is much more open. It's an after-school program with enrichment classes. The kids are there after 2:30 each day.
Daria at STAR would be your contact. She has been struggling with some of the people teaching foods. She would be the person who would get excited about your revolution. I could help too!!!!
I am also open to private parties. For Halloween, we had a magician for 30 kids... the magician said they were the best-behaved 6-yr olds he'd ever seen and they had a blast.
Let's get chips out, obesity down, energy to run laps for Coach (also an excellent contact at Canfield - kids LOVE to run laps for him).
You are inspirational & exciting for kids & adults.
Don't give up on us!
Luvs, Kimberly Foy
Let me know what I can do (remember, can't fight the system).

We were a family of four, me my wife and our two daughters aged 20 and 18 and we enjoyed our trip to New York.
The apartment was suitable for our needs and a good compromise between the far higher prices on Manhattan and travelling time. We could get to Downtown, Grand Central or Times Square in less than 30 mins at any time of day and we all felt like we had seen a different side of the city that we would not have experienced had we stayed in Manhattan itself.
We were there for a full week and can see that this apartment may not be ideal for a shorter stay, but it was ideal for us. We saw everything we wanted to and more besides.
Supermarket right next door which was useful after a long day in New York (closes at 9pm, so plan ahead and buy in the morning before you leave, if you are planning a late return). We had the odd meal in on an evening after an early start and thought the apartment could do with a few more bits and bobs cooking wise. A tin opener for a start would be good. We had to buy our own from the supermarket but brought it back home with us as I can use it on my regular camping trips to the lake district.
All in all, I would recommend the apartment for a family or a group who have time to explore New York.
We had a nice stay in this appartment wich is suitable for 5 persons. We were happy with the quit nights, we slept very well in the beds. And also happy with the supermarket just aroud the corner. The metro is 10 minutes walking; about 15 minutes in the subway and we arrived in Manhattan. The toilet was blocked but Rodrigo had it fixed the same day. Rodrigo offered us the possibility to leave our luggage in the appartment on our last day. The appartment is basic, not luxuary but there is a good price-quality-balance. We would book this appartment again.
The only problem we had was finding the appartment!! We didn't know that in Brooklyn there are 2 subway-stations with the same name: Dekalb Avenue. And unfortunately after a long journey (the Netherlands), we stood in the dark with our two kids, in the middle of Brooklyn and we discovered that we took the wrong subwaystation. Friendly people on the street helped us and so we discovered: you have to take the L-line!! The appartment is situated in Brooklyn but just on the border with Queens. We think that the information on the Wimdu site is not specific enough. So we hope that new guests read this story so that they can pick the right subway-line.
the place is good and ethnic although a bit far from the center of manhattan but it's well served with public transport, supermarket and restaurants. the apt is a good compromise between quality and price. the owner rodrigo is really well-bred and friendly.
Malgré un changement d'appartement non prévu à l'arrivée et qui refroidit un peu l'ambiance au départ, nous avons été pris en charge et nous avons passé un séjour agréable dans un grand appartement a peu près identique a celui réservé.
Das Apartment ist genau wie beschrieben. Für 4 Personen sehr geräumig, sauber und ruhig gelegen. Die Fenster sind wie schon mal bewertet, eher zugig, aber wenn es draußen nicht allzu kalt ist, ist das kein Problem.
Manhattan ist mit der Metro-Line L in gut 30 Minuten (10 Minuten zu Fuß, 20 Minuten Metro) komfortabel erreichbar. Rodrigo war sehr bemüht und zuvorkommend. Wir kommen gern wieder.

The location of the apartment was fine: within 30 minutes you would be in Manhattan by subway. With 2 adults and 2 kids the house was just big enough. Apartment was perfectly cleaned before we arrived, and the owner Rodrigo was very nice. One night we were a little bit cold, but after sending a text message, the next day a extra pair of blankets were delivered.
Price is fair.
Very nice and quiet appartement and secure district around the flat. Metro Station De Kalb Ave (J) ~5min to walk and 25 min metro ride to grand central. Perfect for families with 2kids. For taxi: the adress lies in queens, not brooklyn, otherways navis wont find it. Would take it again, price is fair.
Perfect accomodation, near supermarket and MTA. Only 25 minutes from the centre of Manhattan.
Apartamento agradable, a unos 15-20 min de Manhattan en metro. Limpio, zona residencial tranquila. Espacioso.
Pas de soucis si vous devez aller a New York l'appartement est très fonctionnel,avec super marche a côté, métro a même pas 10 mm a pieds.Rodriguo est la si vous avez le moindre soucis(taxi a l'aéroport pour l aller et le retour),un peu de bruit, serait le seul bémol , mais quand on va a NY, on se leve tôt pour les visites donc....pas le temps de dormir.Allez y tranquille!!!!
