This was a big week for hockey fans with the NHL season opener ringing in a brand new set of Stanley Cup hopes and dreams. But no sooner had the fun begun than Montreal Canadiens enforcer George Parros and Maple Leaf Colton Orr got into a fight that ended with Parros bashing his face straight into the ice. Several tense minutes followed, during which Parros lay there on the rink, unconscious and immobile, before he was eventually carried away on a stretcher. Fortunately, Parros was in good enough shape to be discharged from hospital the next day. However, the concussion he suffered means he is out "indefinitely" (the Canadiens' word), and the whole question of whether the NHL should crack down on fighting has been raised afresh. Given how much we've learned about the devastating effects of head trauma, it seems almost cruel that more progress has not been made in eliminating ritual violence from hockey - even if the players themselves don't see the need. Until that progress is made at the highest level, fewer and fewer parents are going to be interested in getting their kids involved in hockey. After all, why choose a sport where brain injury is considered an unfortunate but unavoidable part of the game?

Peter Gluck
Architecture lecture combines design, build
By Alison Beshur
Public Affairs Specialist
(April 19, 2006)--Not only has Peter Gluck designed a variety of residential and commercial buildings, but he also has labored to oversee the construction of the projects, including one of his latest works, Floating Box House in Austin.
Gluck will begin his lecture, "Architects/Architecture, Building/Buildings" at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 19, in the Buena Vista Theater, Buena Vista Street Building Room 1.326, at the UTSA Downtown Campus.
The free lecture is open to all and is the third in a series organized by the UTSA College of Architecture and the American Institute of Architects San Antonio Chapter.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Architecture professor Rick Lewis said the series of talks and Gluck's lecture present fresh and non-traditional perspectives in today's ever-evolving architectural profession.
"By examining the unconventional ways that architects realize that they can wear many hats in the process of positively influencing the build as well as the natural environment, aspiring young designers find themselves in a better position to succeed in a world that is always willing to reward inventiveness over business as usual," Lewis said.
"While creating buildings will remain the staple of the architecture profession, the works of designers, such as Gluck, represent creativeness born out of teaching, travel, and even building with one's hands, while advancing the ideas of quality space and inspiring aesthetics to the benefit of people's lives," he added.
For several years, UTSA has partnered with the AIA San Antonio chapter to coordinate lecture series events that complement architecture programs at UTSA and provide a venue for students to interact with practitioners in the field of architecture.
Michael Rey, an associate member of the AIA-San Antonio and architect-in-training for Overland Partners Architects, helped select Gluck for the lecture series.
Rey said he is impressed by Gluck's ability to combine two complicated professions and oversee the construction and follow-through of his own designs.
"He's hands on," Rey said. "It's a very different way of approaching architecture."
Some of Gluck's most recognized works include the Bronx Prepatory Charter School in New York, the Bar House in the hills of the Western United States and the Scholar's Library in Olive Branch, N.Y.
Gluck's Bridge House was featured in Architectural Record's Record Houses in 1996 and he has received numerous design awards, including an Honor Award from the AIA New York Chapter in 2004 for his Scholar's Library and a Design Award from the AIA Connecticut Design Commission for his Double House in 2005.
The New York-based architect earned a master's degree in architecture in 1965 from Yale University.
H-E-B, Lake Flato Architects and Kell Muñoz are sponsors of the 2006 lecture series. Supporters include Alamo Architects, RVK and Ford Powell & Carson Architects and Friends, Madeline Anz Slay Architects, Sprinkle Robey Architects and Durand-Hollis Rupe Architects.
Other events in the series include:
- Sept. 20 (Wednesday) -- "Architecture/Development" by Jonathan Segal, FAIA
- Oct. 24 (Tuesday) -- Design Awards exhibition at the Witte Museum
- Nov. 15 (Wednesday) -- "Design work of TEN Arquitectos" by Enrique Norten of TEN Arquitectos

A few weeks ago I began experimenting with o/a trickle. The fist batch I tried seemed not to work on a couple of test hives. Mixed a new batch Saturday and treated ten hives. Went back this am and did a sugar shake test on one hives that had a mite count of 25+ and found two mites. I was impressed. The option was buying $200 worth of apistan to treat 45 hives. I followed Mike Gillmore's recipe (with one exception) which was as follows:
OA - 17.5 g.
Sugar - 300 g.
Water - 300 ml.
Mix your sugar and hot water to make a syrup.
Dissolve the OA crystals in a small amount of alcohol and blend with syrup.
I purchased oxalic acid at Ace hardware and a 60ml syringe at tractor supply.
My daughter had a chemistry scale. A digital scale that weighs grams could be purchased at walmart.
I weighted out the water, sugar and oa, placed 1/4 of the water in a widemouth mason jar. I then heated the water in a glass measuring cup in the microwave and dissolved the sugar in the hot water. I added the acid to the water in the mason jar and with the lid closed shook until completely dissolved. I then added the syrup to the jar and mixed thoroughly. This recipe made about a pint which was enough to treat ten hives.
Application: I filled the syringe and dripped five ml between frames with bees. The oxalic acid took care of the rest.
1. I will need to do more mite counts to verify uniform results.
2. Not sure why first batch didn't work. I followed a recipe that used hfcs instead of sugar syrup. Maybe I didn't mix thoroughly enough.
3. It looks like this method will cost me about ten to fifteen cents per hive.
4. Hives are currently broodless

text: This is going to focus on OL and Defensive front 7. In other words, blocking and tackling. First of all in Free Agency I would go after Carl Nicks, Calais Campbell, and Laron Landry. I re-sign Laurent Robinson and Anthony Spencer. I flip Free and Smith, and I move Ratliff to DE. He says he will play anywhere, but prefers NT. Well, he can play the Nose at times, but would start at LDE and Campbell at RDE. #14. David DeCastro, OG, Stanford, 6'5", 315. I put him at RG (Nicks plays LG) and get ready to pass to set up the run. I believe this guy on sweeps right is every bit as potent as any Offensive weapon on a team. The pick just makes sense. Trade up to get him if you have to, but get him. #45. Dontari Poe, NT, Memphis, 6'5", 350. A massive man who eats up double teams and pushes the pocket backwards. No more running up the middle. He starts. #83. Vinny Curry, OLB, Marshall, 6'3", 263. He could rise up the ranks, but right now he fits near here and I think he would be a steal. If we can't re-sign Spencer I'd consider him at #45 and would also consider starting him. #114. Michael Brewster, C, Ohio State, 6'4", 305. He starts right away. I have that much faith he is better than Kowalski and Costa. #145. Matt Reynolds, OT, BYU, 6'4", 305. Need OT depth. He is a RT at the NFL level. #176. Jerry Franklin, ILB, Arkansas, 6'1", 245. Need depth at ILB. 6th round Comp pick. Kavario Middleton, TE, Montana, 6'5", 250. Blocking TE who takes Bennett's roster spot when he leaves via FA. #207. Donte Paige-Moss, OLB, North Carolina, 6'4, 260. Is leaving school too soon after an injury. Worth waiting for. Could be a late steal.

Please be aware that I am reluctant to accept bookings that are not accompanied by any personal details. I do not wish to deal with anyone who has no profile and photograph.
The living room has been adequately converted into a bedroom. There is a comfy sofa-bed as seen in the photos. For those who prefer an alternative, there is futon beds, a single or double stacked futon-bed.
However, guests should be aware that extra bed(s) will make room more congested. Therefore guests are welcome to request positioning of extra beds. There is now also a large wardbrobe and cupboard as seen in the photos. In short, the living room previously advertised for short-stay guests, is now fully equipped for longer stays; and will be for the exclusive use of the guest(s).
It can also serve for additional guests to a group of more than two, and so serve as compliment to main-bedroom (see 'Attractive Room In Central London'. Ideally, if 2 people in main bedroom, one person to sleep in sofa-bed, though two would be acceptable depending on circumstances in the house.
The neighbourhood has a variety of shops and restaurants,
a farmers market on Wednesday, and other stalls on the weekend outside Hampstead Theatre, a minute from home and the tube and bus stop. At the back of the theatre, there is a green area with playground for children, large sports centre, and library. One need only cross the road for the Odeon film-centre and large pub, The Swiss Cottage, from which the area takes its name.
Best of all, for those who like parks, a 5 minute walk to the wonderful Primrose Hill, featuring a panoramic view of the city, one of the "Wow" spots of London. A short descent of the Hill leads to Regents Park, encompassing London Zoo, a variety of gardens, sports fields, and the renown outdoor theatre for summer performances. Hampstead Heath is within 10 - 15 minutes walking distance.
The house is a minute from Swiss Cottage tube & buses. 3 stops directly reaches the centre of London. There are also ample buses to the heart of the city. Locally, it requires just a short bus ride or 15- 20 minute walk to reach Hampstead village, Belsize Park, Chalk Farm with its famous Round House (featuring music gigs and a variety of performances), and Camden Market.
The home is sufficiently spacious to offer privacy & sociability in equal measure. It is also conveniently located to meet all requirements of visitors to London.
HázirendSecurity Deposit: £100
Guests may also request use of the little roof-garden; though it will also naturally depend on the vagueries of the English weather.
Though check in & check out are flexible, please let me know times as soon as possible. This will help in case of any overlap with new arrivals. In that case, departees can arrange to leave bags with me until you are ready to pick them up.
I would like to see passport ID on arrival
and receive a £ 30 deposit for Keys.
No shoes to be worn in the flat.
No smoking in the flat. Drink in moderation.
Smokers can request access to the roof-terrace
or smoke outside, but not on the stairways leading to the house.
I would also appreciate no cooked food outside of kitchen.
This will avoid lasting smells & spillage in the bedrooms.
For similar reasons beverage in bedrooms should be restricted to water & tea etc.
No candles or any kind of naked flames in the bedrooms.
The home is sufficiently spacious to offer privacy & sociability
in equal measure. I often work late at night, so there is no
problem for latecomers. Though peace and quiet is required
at such time.
Though I will happily socialise with guests,
much depends on the time of visit,
and so guests should be prepared to be largely independent.

Thanks Alon for your hospitality. We had a great stay!
We quite enjoyed our stay in this accommodation, Alon is a very kind host and allowed us to use his kitchen to cook light food. The house is very comfy. The location is easy to be found, and is very convinient for transportation to Central London. We are quite happy and appreciate with this booking. The information on the Wimdu is authentic.
Alon is nice.He accept late caming and tha room is nice and cosy .I recomanded to all
The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood close to city centre, you can get to the subway in a 2 minutes walk. It is also near some supermarkets and bus stops. From the beginning Alon gave us information about how to get from the airport. He also let us use his kitchen and all the stuff we needed. Alon is a great host with whom we had the pleasure of talking several times. I'm sure if I return to London I'll stay in this accommodation.
Alon was a very good host. Quick and easy communication right after the booking until I checked out. What I enjoyed most was his flexibility in check-in times. He is a very friendly and helpful person, too. The room and interior was ok but pretty simple such as the bathroom and toilet.
Very friendly and responsive host who was quite flexible when the stay did not work out in the end. Definitely recommendable.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Unforgettable stay in the beautiful house Alon
Very nice area close to the center, it is very nice
A very friendly host I highly recommend
Thanks a lot it was a really nice trip
I enjoyed my stay in London very much. Alon´s house is perfectly located between two parks Primrose Hill and Hampstead Heath - both in walking distance. At the same time it´s quite central, getting everywhere with the tube easily.I liked the neighborhood and Alon´s house with it´s individual character, build in furniture and paintings. Alon is a welcoming, friendly and helpful host. He´ll share his kitchen and fridge with you, so that preparing your own meals is possible. The room itself was spacious as described, the futon bed comfortable and the neighborhood quiet during night time. I do recommend this place and would be happy to stay there myself again.
I stayed for a week at Alon's house and enjoyed it very much. It is perfectly located between Hampstead Heath and Regent's Park. The next tube station is Swiss Cottage and it's just around the corner. Alon is a wonderful host; he is really helpful, friendly and welcoming.
The room was really comfortable and peaceful. I can recommend Alon's Guest Room to anyone who wants to spend some time in London. I would definitely stay there again.

Melbourne Storm halfback Cooper Cronk says he's drawn confidence from the way his side clawed their way back from their mid-season slump ahead of Saturday's NRL qualifying final against South Sydney.
The second-placed Storm are set to host the third-placed Rabbitohs under the new finals format at AAMI Park in a twilight match.
Melbourne dropped five games before going on a four-match winning streak to end the regular season, although two of those victories were nail-biters.
Cronk said the way that the team managed to to get their season back on track showed a special quality.
"One thing I'm really proud about is the way we were able to get through that because not too many teams would be able to do that," he said on Friday.
"Our defence wasn't great, our attack was all over the place and to have honesty in reviews to set things back in order and to sit today where we are, I get a lot of confidence from that."
Cronk said he felt "comfortable" with their form, compared to last season when they were minor premiers but lost two matches heading into the playoffs and were then upset by the Warriors in the preliminary final.
"I think last year we won 12 or 13 straight through that Origin campaign and ran out of gas at this time of year," said Cronk.
"This time we lost five after Origin and now we're building to something.
"I'm not sure that guarantees us success but I'm comfortable the position where we are as a team."

Inmates may only have a total of six approved visitors. Minor children do not need to be submitted for approval and do not count towards the approved visitors.
Minor children must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian during visitation. The accompanying parent or legal guardian must be an approved visitor and present proof of guardianship if requested to do so by the visit deputy or shift supervisor.
Visitors who are unable to adequately supervise their children while inside the facility will not be allowed to visit and asked to leave the facility. Visitors who are disruptive or cause disturbances that result in a crime may be arrested. If a visitor is escorted from the facility for disruptive behavior, the visitor will be denied approval to visit until re-approved by the facility commander.
An inmate may refuse to see a visitor. If an inmate refuses a visitor, that person may be removed from the approved visitor list. Inmates must submit an inmate request form (Kite) to delete visitors from their approved visitor list. Deletions to an inmate's approved visitor list are conducted monthly provided the request is submitted by the first of the month.· Additional visitors may be denied visitation if the inmate has not adjusted their approved visitor list to allow for additional visitors.
Visitors must conform to the dress code approved by the facility commander and posted in the inmate informational guide available in each living area and in public lobbies. Displays by visitors of gang colors, symbols, marks or attire representing gang affiliation are strictly forbidden in visiting areas.
Suspension of regular visitation for reasons of safety, security or under exigent circumstances may occur at the direction of the shift supervisor or facility commander.
Visitors who aid or assist, or attempt to aid or assist, an inmate escape from jail will be permanently banned from visitation and may be prosecuted under California law (California Penal Code Section(s) 4534, 4535, 4550).
Bringing firearms, explosives, alcoholic beverages, narcotics, and controlled substances into a detention facility is a crime and cause for arrest (California Penal Code Section(s) 2772, 2790, 4573, 4573.5, 4573.6, 4573.8, 4573.9, 4574).

Cameras, radios, portable phones, video/audio recording devices, purses, bags, baby strollers, car seats, diaper bags, oversized hats, keys, backpacks, briefcases, wallets, food or drink, or similar objects that could be used to compromise facility security are banned from visiting and secure perimeter areas within the grounds of the facility (official visitors may be exempt and exceptions to this policy may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the facility commander).
Visitors will not give to or take anything from an inmate without prior approval from the shift supervisor (California Penal Code Section(s) 2540, 2541, 4570, 4570.1)
Any person found to be communicating, in any manner, with an inmate other than the inmate they signed up to visit may constitute a crime and may be cause for arrest (California Penal Code Section(s) 4570, 4570.1).
Any visitor who destroys, damages or defaces any facility property will lose approval of visiting privileges and be escorted from the facility. If the damage is determined to be a crime, the visitor may be arrested (California Penal Code 4600).
Visitors entering a Stanislaus County detention facility may be subject to a search of their person, vehicle or property. The type and scope of the search will be based on the facility and the potential access the visitor has to the facility or inmates.
Hostages will not be recognized for bargaining purposes during escape attempts by inmates.
Visitors may only visit one inmate per day.

Robert Louis Chianese
In previous issues I analyzed major works of Earth art that I found more aesthetic than ecologic. Now, I wrap up this series of columns by looking at examples of Earth art that are deliberately green—that actually help restore the Earth. Agnes Denes has been creating these kinds of works for decades.
Denes gained notice in the United States for Wheatfield—A Confrontation (1982), a two-acre field of grain she planted on an empty, four-acre lot right next to the World Trade Center towers. She cleaned the land, covered it with 200 truckloads of soil, and then hand planted seeds that reaped 1,000 pounds of wheat. Denes then shipped that wheat to 28 cities around the world as part of an art show about ending world hunger.
The "confrontation" of her project's title refers to the challenge the wheat field posed to the financial capital of the world and its obsession with accumulating wealth rather than serving human needs. This is in-your-face Earth art pushing a comprehensive environmental agenda.
Denes is a visionary whose work, she proclaimed to me, cannot be fully characterized by the label "restoration Earth art." I agree. She incorporates science, mathematics, and philosophical pronouncements into her work, which has both a conceptual basis and direct social and ecological effects through built-in public involvement. However, many of her projects do involve restoration and reclamation—components I find missing in so many examples of Earth art.
The health of the planet is in a precarious state and cries out for such restoration more than ever. Earth artists often use natural materials and forms just to dazzle us with their imaginative constructions. They may have to stretch themselves to embrace this more complicated phase of their movement, making art that emulates Earth processes, as Denes surely has.
Her Tree Mountain—A Living Time Capsule (1996 to the present) brings together essentials of her Earth art on a scale that is hard to imagine. She had a mountain of soil piled into an elliptical cone over a gravel pit near Ylöjärvi, Finland; it measured 420 meters long, 270 meters wide, and 28 meters tall. She then had 11,000 people plant 11,000 trees in a golden section and "sunflower/pineapple" pattern around her mathematically designed mound; convinced the Finnish government to promise to preserve it for four centuries; and gave the tree planters and their heirs the right to pass on their living legacy of a tree for at least 20 generations. That is the time-capsule element of Tree Mountain. In her artist's statement, Denes says:
The forest will be kept for the next 400 years, thereby creating the first manmade virgin forest. It will take that long for the environment to re-create itself. The 11,000 people who came to plant the trees received a certificate valid for four centuries that they can leave to their children as custodians of the trees. My forests are mathematical in order to combine the human intellect with the majesty of nature. I restore the land, rejuvenate it, and fill it with wonders of new human understanding.
Denes's grand project required support of a multigovernmental agency—the United Nations—and the Finnish Ministry of the Environment. Works like this one force governments, foundations, benefactors, and the public to reconceive the role of art in our lives. Talk about civic engagement!
I am not proposing that all Earth art must produce a growing, living, green thing. Other famous works that I have examined in this series—such as Robert Smithson's salt-encrusted jetty, Andy Goldsworthy's curvy stone wall, or Michael Heizer's massive rock—can bring our desensitized relationship to the land to fuller awareness. We need that, but maybe less so as the fate of the Earth becomes all too apparent. Earth art might commit itself to performing some of the actual remediation work, where ecological function complements aesthetic design.
Denes almost embraces a radical belief that, in our calamitous, postmodern world, art must be appropriately "malignant," never "benign." Quoting her again: "Beauty is the sure bearer of weakness, and usefulness is a killer. Art should be above all that, it should nauseate, disturb, arouse, and so on."
But then, she reverses herself: "Okay, why not, but I feel that beauty can also be so brilliant and breathtaking that it disturbs. And art can be useful in an ailing world and natural, not artificial and still be great art."
Denes offers a profound corrective, a new aesthetic for our time: a beauty that disturbs in its brilliance, and a natural usefulness that can help heal an ailing world. Tree Mountain does that. Its scale and its green reality—a new vast forest—can awe us with overwhelming beauty; this used to be called the "sublime." The use of the forest not for products but in its natural state defines it as a healing resource for those who wander through it, reflect on it, sense it, watch it grow and evolve, and thereby receive a sort of convalescence.

Reviews for this host's other properties
We had an incredible time. The Dozzi family were wonderful hosts who went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable and happy with the apartment. The apartment was lovely, spotlessly clean, modern and had been set up very much like a hotel. It's location was perfect as it was in a quiet residential area, very close to amenities and also just a 15 min bus ride to central Venice. I would recommend this apartment to everyone.
Very nice both the appartment and the Paolo's support!
Everything was handled in extremely well.
Apartment was clean and nice and it was easy to find. Paolo was very friendly and he had made a Tourist Guide for all of the guests which would say what to do, how to do, how to avoid dissappointments, bus-routes, boat-routes, whole 9 yards.
We were there with two daughters (8 and 5) and everything went very good. Can warmly welcome this accommodation to everyone who wants to go to Venice or Jesolo Aquapark.
Paolo is really very nice person. He gave us a lot of tipps and answered to all our questions. His flat is in very nice area and it is only 5 minutes to bus station. From there it is 15 minutes until venice. The flat is really clean and comfortable. If we will be in enice again we will stay there again. Thanks Paolo. Dimitri and his family.
The apartment is very quiet on the mainland of Venice, in Marghera. Ideal location as the bus station is just 5 minutes away on foot, where you can go by bus every 15 minutes to the old town. Shops, bars and restaurants all in close walk. Newly renovated and very modern apartment with a beautiful terrace. The owner Paolo is very nice and we handed over information about Venice with various tips and everything explained to us exactly when you arrive. Was it would any friend very satisfied with the apartment and.
Die Wohnung liegt sehr ruhig auf dem Festland von Venedig in Marghera. Optimale Lage, da Bushaltestelle gerade mal 5 min zu Fuss entfernt ist, wo man mit dem Bus alle 15 min in die Altstadt fahren kann. Einkaufsmöglichkeit, Bars und Restaurant alles in begehbarer Nähe. Neu renovierte und sehr moderne Wohnung mit schöner Terrasse. Der Vermieter Paolo ist sehr nett und hat uns Infos über Venedig mit diversen Tipps übergeben und uns bei Ankunft alles genau erklärt. Waren sehr zufrieden mit dem Apartment und würden es jedem weiterempfehlen.
Very nice neighborhood and apartment in perfect condition.
Paolo met us at the appointed time and a small collection of very well advice immediately allowed us to move to Venice or to find around us useful stores or even the recommended restaurants.
An address to remember, however, if one accepts to be slightly away from the island
Quartier très agréable et appartement dans un état parfait.
Paolo nous attendait à l'heure dite et un petit recueil de conseils très bien fait nous a tout de suite permis de nous orienter pour rejoindre Venise ou pour trouver autour de nous les magasins utiles ou même les restaurants conseillés.
Une adresse à retenir si toutefois l'on accepte d'être légèrement éloigné de l' île
Everything was ok! The apartment is very quiet, is beautiful, new and well maintained and clean. The furniture and bathroom furnishings are very tasteful and high quality. Also convenient is the parking.
The owner has created a small information pack which was very helpful for us (map, restaurant recommendation, nearest supermarket, switch where you can buy tickets for public transport, ...). The owner is very nice and helpful, without being intrusive!
Very pleasant! Gladly again !!!
Alles hat gepasst! Die Wohnung liegt sehr ruhig, ist wunderschön, neu und gepflegt und sauber. Die Möbel und die Badeinrichtung sind sehr geschmackvoll und hochwertig. Praktisch ist auch der Parkplatz.
Der Vermieter hat eine kleine Info-Mappe erstellt, die für uns sehr hilfreich war (Stadtplan, Restaurantempfehlung, nächster Supermarkt, Schalter an dem man Tickets für den Öffentlichen Nahverkehr kaufen kann,...) . Der Vermieter ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit, ohne aufdringlich zu sein!
Sehr angenehm! Gerne wieder!!!
Prima apartment. We had all the time really nice weather, so we were almost only to sleep in the apartment and hardly used the facilities. The location of the apartment is fine and it is particularly quiet. The equipment is very good with a stable Wi-Fi. The apartment we would not hesitate to re-book.
Prima Wohnung. Wir hatten die ganze Zeit richtig schönes Wetter, so das wir quasi nur zum Schlafen in der Wohnung waren und die Ausstattung kaum genutzt haben. Die Lage der Wohnung ist prima und sie ist besonders ruhig. Die Ausstattung ist sehr gut mit stabilem WLAN. Die Wohnung würden wir jederzeit wieder buchen.
