text: I have a 2002 Sub, awhile back my battery would go dead over night, which went on for weeks. I replaced the 3 year old one but the problem persisted, I had to leave a charger on over night. I put a meter from the disconnected ground to the ground wire, I pulled every fuse and relay I could find to no avail. Oddly enough a week or so later I forgot to hook up the charger, much to my surprise the problem had gone away. That was mid summer, just a few days ago it returned! I did quite a few net searches and found it seems to be an issue several others have or are experiencing, I only found one possible solution that was to re flash the computer. Looking for any other ideas before going to the dealer, I am tight on $$ having recently gotten off chemo and not back to work. Phil

UTSA Access Control Center improves services
By Douglas Sonego
Captain, UTSA Police Department
(Feb. 23, 2006)--The Access Control Center of the UTSA Police Department has made several enhancements to its operations with the goal of improving access control request processing and increasing communication with university staff regarding request completion dates.
The enhancements include a new Access Control Center Web site, a revised card access request form and a program to promote greater communication with Access Control staff members.
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
The new Web site provides the UTSA community with information on the university key policy, operations of Locknetics- and DSX-equipped rooms, and Access Control Center staff contact information. Additionally, users can download a copy of the Police Access Request for Mechanical Keys form as a PDF document.
To improve communication, the new Web site includes two updated PowerPoint training modules to help educate customers on Access Control Center operations.
The modules include:
- The Access Control Training for administrative services officers (ASOs) or administrative assistants (AAs) includes processes, procedures and a step-by-step guide to access control issues.
- The Access Control Training for faculty and staff aids new UTSA community members in understanding access control issues. Improvements also have been made in processing confirmation procedures. ASOs and designated AAs who send in access requests with a Web-based card access request form or the mechanical keys form will be notified via e-mail when the Access Control Center has received the request.
- Estimated dates of completion and notification when the request has been completed will be sent to the requestor.
In an effort to meet customer service goals in the Access Control Center, staff will make more face-to-face contact with UTSA community members while responding to work orders. The goal of these face-to-face contacts is to increase communication, better serve customers and to educate faculty and staff on the Access Control Center's mission. Staff members shouldn't be surprised if an Access Control Center staff member visits their departments to talk about the improvements.
The Web-based card access request form has been upgraded in many areas with more useful information that will speed up the handling of requests. Upgrades include a drop-down menu with a list of UTSA buildings with electronic access doors (Locknetics and DSX ), fields for phone numbers and fields to indicate staff or student status.
The UTSA Police Department Access Control Center is committed to fulfilling every access need in the tri-campus community.
For more information, contact Jim Keienburg, Access Control Center manager, at (210) 458-7144.

이 호스트의 또 다른 숙소후기
A very conveniently placed flat between old square and the castle, practically very close to every historic place. Flat is also well furbished with enough space up to three peoples. Downstairs there is a bakery where you can have a fresh breakfast.
So all fine, the only think is the communication (slow in reply) which need to be improved.
A good size clean and quiet apartment. Slight smell coming from the bathroom and the pictures are from the flat below (we think) not the top floor one where we stayed as the kitchen is slightly different. However this didnt affect our stay. Great views, location and the staff were very helpful finding us a cot at short notice and sorting the cable TV late in the evening.
lovely apartment great view across the Maly Rynek and well placed for a lot of local bars , restaurants , cafes and shops and i nearly forgot the market square , old city apartment company office staff i found to be very helpful and knowledgeable also a big thank you to Daniel who drove us from the airport to the office and apartment and back to the airport , the only downside was the stairs to the apartment but that did not spoil our stay , so a big thank you to everyone at the company
When we arrived, the apartment we had booked was not availebal due to a water leckage. This had happend two days ago, but we were not contacted. We were offered a 2 room apartment with 1 bath insteed of the 3 rooms with 2 baths we had payed for. In discussion about price reduction we were told this was an upgrade, and therefor they would not offer compensation. The last day we were allowed to keep the appartement unntil 19 o clock insteed of 12. This was a totally different apartement, and not bright, big we had booed. Disappointing.
Three of us stayed at this apartment.
It is in a fantastic location and is in a very beautiful building.
The apartment is very well laid out and is well equipped.
We really loved staying here.
2 teeny-weeny improvements - provide a tea pot and an iron. Otherwise a perfect place to stay.
Very happy with the stay! Very convienient location.
The apartment was not ready when we arrived the decorators were still working. We were asked at the office to return in 2 hours and were taken to the 'house of beer' for refreshments. When we were then taken to the apartment the workmen were just finishing. The apartment was very comfortable and spacious and ideal for three couples. It was not however the apartment we had reserved having reviewed the advertised photographs! Despite this I would highly recommend the apartment and would return for another break.
Nice apartment, clean and cosy. There are only 2 bedrooms with double beds. 3 couples will not be comfortable. At night it might be noicey. Well after all it is rhight at the main square.
All in all good experience.
Fantastic location in a mixed rental/residential block a few minutes from the hubbub of the city centre, overlooking the old city walls. Had booked a balcony but this was not available upon arrival; alternative apartment was soon organised by Mat and was very warm, large and comfortable. A toaster and microwave would've been handy. We left a 'phone there and they emailed to say they would send it. At the time of writing we had not received this but was impressed that the contact was initiated. Krakow itself is absolutely gorgeous.
Great apartment, clean and large. The position is wonderful, with an amazing view on the Central Market Square. The staff was really helpful, I strongly suggest this apartment.

Initially created to maintain foot stability, the three stripes have become Adidas trademark, the distinctive feature of an original and innovative style that sportswear fans all over the world have fallen for. Since when it was founded in 1920, Adidas has given birth to some of the most memorable models of sports shoes: Adidas Gazelle, Adidas Trainer, Adidas Basket Profi, Adidas Samba or sneakers like ZX 750 or ZX 8000. Thanks to their innovative Torsion system, low shoes by Adidas have become real classics in our collective imagination. Adidas Originals was born right out of such inheritance: a collection starting from the origins of the brand to bring Adidas design and spirit in today's street-wear clothing. Timeless models such as the Adidas Firebird sweatshirt, a wide range of t-shirts, jackets, sweatshirts and jerseys of NBA teams complete the look of those who always look for the origins of style.

Healthy Holiday Recipes!
Need some quick and healthy holiday dinner recipes? These are simple, nutritious and guaranteed to please your guests!
The holidays are here and it's time to celebrate with family, friends and food! While it's hard to avoid the occasional overindulgence, you can still enjoy the season's festivities while staying focused on your health. Here are some tips to help you stay healthy this holiday season.
You may not be able to choose the menu, but you CAN choose your portions!
You can save 250 calories or more at holiday meals by choosing smaller portion sizes alone! An extra 250 calories a day translates into one pound of weight gain every two weeks. Those extra calories can often cause some to gain an extra 4-5 pounds during the holiday season. So when you have little control over the menu, focus on choosing smaller portion sizes!
Choose only healthy appetizers
Many times trays of cheese, dips and cookies are placed out before the holiday meal, and these calories add up fast. You may find you fill up before the main meal has started, and saying "no" to your mother's famous holiday main course meal may be tricky! Rather than filling up before the meal, only choose fresh fruit and vegetables as your appetizer.
Make family time "fitness time"
The typical Southern family holiday is centered around the table before, during and after the meal! Change it up by encouraging your family to take post-meal family time outdoors for a walk or a family game of softball. Family time can be fitness time, too!
Have your cake and icing too... just have a little
Be realistic about your diet during the holidays. Enjoy a piece of your favorite cake or pie, but limit yourself. Heavy desserts will likely always be a part of the holiday tradition, so enjoy! But, avoid overindulging in high calorie, high fat holiday desserts.
Plate it all at once to avoid the "holiday graze"
You've heard the saying, "we eat with our eyes." It takes time for our body to recognize when we are full. Our eyes can determine when we've had enough long before our brain. Use this strategy by plating all of your food at once, meaning your salad, meal and dessert. By doing this, your eyes can help your brain recognize when you are full long before you overeat. Try it!
Don't get trapped in the temptation of variety
Holiday food is exciting with the large variety, but sampling everything may be just the cause of those extra calories. Rather than trying a small sample of everything, limit yourself to your favorite foods.
At Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi, we wish you and yours a healthy and happy holiday season!

Seven Secrets To Your Success
Click to download the White Paper
Taking Care of Business in a Flash
Flash sales purchases, by nature are impluse purchases. As part of the brand experience, Internet retailers and members-only Web sites thrive on high-volume, fast-paced marketing and sales campaigns, all of which require timely fulfillment and shipping.
Most flash sales models send a daily email to members or promote specials on their Web sites. Both scenarios create a specific window of time for order processing. For example, Internet Gilt Groupe notifies its members of daily sales at noon. By design, there is an inherent urgency that is created, both for the customer to purchase products and for the fulfillment and warehouse operators to process orders and get them shipped in a timely manner.
"Flash sales are taking e-commerce to the next level," said Joal Savino, Executive Vice President of Mercedes Distribution Center. "By design, they require a new set of tools, processes and skill-sets to keep pace with high-volume transactions, the flow of inventory throughout the warehouse, and delivering a consistent customer experience."
As the flash sales model continues to evolve, it is important for organizations to take a closer look at how their inventory and fulfillment are managed, because traditional warehousing techniques are no longer sufficient.
Technology alone cannot solve the complexities of flash sales; nor can "smart warehouse" designs. The right combination of people and processes supported by fulfillment experience and technology automation is critical.
Flash Sales Secrets
The following are seven secrets every retailer must learn in order to ensure flash sales success:
1. Not Your Father's Pick/Pack
The timing of flash sales is completely opposite to what is needed to optimize shipments per day. Shipping companies, such as UPS, need to enter packages into their system in the early evening, or the orders lose one day in transit time. Flash sales, however, typically don't begin until noon. The customers may not begin buying in earnest for an hour, and after processing and credit checking delays, the orders begin to hit the warehouse floor around 2 PM. This leaves only four to five hours to ensure all priority orders.
2. Sporadic Order Flow
Order timing not only affects efficiency, but it creates an uneven flow of work. Each day there is a deluge of orders in the beginning of a new sales cycle, merged with a continuing flow from pervious sales. On top of that, orders may contain items from both the current and past sales. Stock must be properly staged to expedite the picking of the current sale orders while permitting easy access to past sales. Picking systems must be designed to permit retrieval from diverse areas and combination of stock at the shipping station. This technique is both effective and efficient, but without proper and tight controls, order flow can be haphazard and impossible to manage.
3. Non-Linear Fulfillment Approach
Due to the large bursts of transactions, orders cannot be processed one at a time–they must be handled in bulk. A non-linear fulfillment approach is essential to optimizing production. Staging individual shipments on conveyors is not productive and a waste of equipment. Orders must flow in bulk from pick to the final packing and shipping station.
4. Sell First, Fulfill Later
Many flash sales are sell firsts, that is, the required inventory needed to fulfill orders is purchased after the sale is over. The inherent delays to customers in this sales model can be made even worse by inefficient vendors. The warehouse must, therefore, be able to receive and ship in one step to keep the turnaround time to customers as short as possible.
5. No Time for Downtime
Flash sales generate large volumes of orders every day, not just at peak periods of the year. Systems, both computer and manual, must be able to sustain high volumes. Implementing a paperless environment is essential, otherwise the warehouse becomes print bound, increasing time and costs. There can be no downtime for upgrades, equipment malfunctions, or physical inventories. Most importantly, there must be a very high management commitment to keep pace with growth.
6. Return to Sender
E-commerce customers demand prompt returns processing. Their ire can quickly damage a company's brand reputation, especially when social media tools such as Facebook and Twitter wield such tremendous influence. Returns require as much attention and effort as shipping. There can be no putting off returns and handling them as filler work or sending them to a third-party to be processed at leisure. Because flash sales have limited depth of inventory, many returns are quickly re-shipped to wait-listed customers. It is critical to optimize the return process in order to minimize lost sales opportunities from customers who change their mind or look elsewhere for the same product.
Returns are very labor intensive. Not only is the initial handling cumbersome, but they must be closely quality checked and neatly repackaged. Customers cannot feel as if they are receiving a used or "recycled" product.
7. It is Always Personal
Presentation is as important a sales tool as price and selection. While Millennials and Gen Y audiences embrace the Internet for shopping, Gen X and Baby Boomers are still skeptical, so a positive experience is vital for repeat business. Positive feedback across social media, blogs and other Web portals are the lifeblood of any brand's reputation. That said, there is no subsititute of hand packaging of merchandise and careful inspection of returns. Intelligently designed cartons and well-trained packers are critical to keep these costs to a minimum. The marketing department may have to convince the Accounting department of the strategic value added to increased labor costs.
Flash Sales Require a New Approach
The Market opportunities of flash sales are endless. The Internet is changing how organizations–both business- to-business and business-to-consumer–are marketing and selling their products. But within this new model, there are many challenges and complexities that impact success.
Flash sales have their own unique intricacies and require a new approach to warehousing, inventory management, fulfillment and shipping.
As organizations embrace flash sales, new processes, techniques and technologies are required to manage inventory, optimize revenue and deliver a unique customer service experience.

Why did the Nats fire Bucky Harris and hire Chuck Dressen?
It seems, looking back, that Calvin Griffith began dumping salary as soon as he took day-to-day control of the team. Trading Vernon, Runnels, Yost, and each time getting a couple of dismal players. I'd guess that he began to build a farm system, leading to Bob Allison, Zorro Versalles, and other players who became core of the Twins in the early '60s.
Why did they hire Dressen?
Dressen must have been an expensive manager, having come from the Dodgers. Why spend the money on him?

The D-line is equally as bad with the exception of Joseph and Tuck whom occassionally show penetration and or ability to shed and dive into tackles..
This team is loosing terribly in the trenches which is puzzling because we drafted Pugh #1, sacrificed on our roster to keep depth on the D-line, had Baas back....Looks to me that Snee is getting manhandled, Baas is doing alot of standing around, and Boothe is too slow...Beatty and Pugh have been great
Due to Kevin Gilbride, I will never like the phrase "shotgun draw", ever.
I've been wondering about comments made about Eli not being able to play or be effective in a short passing game (my words). It's been mentioned several times now by different members. I've always thought a pass was a pass, long, short, or whatever. Obviously that's over simplistic, but if that is really possible, the red zone is nothing if it's not "short": in terms of geography. So, if it is a reality that Eli isn't a good short yardage passer, doesn't that include the red zone?.
Before anyone gets wound up, it's just a question. I recognize there are other issues with the Oline and running backs. But, again, if there is any validity to that suggestion could the play calling take that into account?

The Almond People Book
Who are The Almond People? They are the enterprising California almond growers who began delivering their almonds to Blue Diamond Growers, a cooperative they started in 1910. They are also the employees who process, market and sell and finance the business. Employees were first hired shortly after the cooperative was organized because the growers realized they did not have the expertise it would take to achieve their vision to provide the best quality almonds to consumers. They are also the buyers who began to sell almonds 30 years prior to the cooperative being organized in the early 1880s and who now comprise an international network of family businesses and food companies who need almond products either as an ingredient or a snack.

For all I know teenagers are a hard nut to crack when it comes to controlling their activities and behaviors. It is so common to see arguments and fights break out between teenagers and their parents who result in grounding them or rebellion on the side of the young teens. What's important is to identify the most common cause of friction among teenagers and their Parents or guardians. To begin with, most teenagers like having their way in everything and it is important for their parents to know how to say no to them. All parents need to be tactful in handling the needs of their children going through a critical stage of their grooming we call as 'Teenage'.
What parents or guardians need to do is to understand their teenagers.

Where I stayed
Hacienda Merida
That is if I can stay away from the scorpions...
The first time Emma and I visited Ometepe, we stayed at Altegracia, on the concepcion side of the island. This time I choose for the Madera side at the tiny village of Merida. I stay at the 'Hacienda Merida', a beautiful lakeside farm, now a hostel with nice dorms. For a little extra, guests can use bicycles and kayaks, and the food is excellent and very cheap.
There are plenty of things to do here, even without TV, pubs, or cinema's! I visit the waterfall, climb the volcano (Concepcion that is), kayak to Monkey island, cycle around the half island, visit the local school..
Nicaragua really became a little bit my favorite destination during my travel and I really plan to come back here sooner or later.(let's hope sooner)
Unfortunatly, there is Managua...
This ugly city, by far the ugliest in Central America, with it's aggressive taxi drivers, and it's desolate city center, can not be avoided however...
Some people told me they actually like Managua, some people even live there out of free will... so maybe I judge too soon... Maybe somebody can sent me a different opinion? Be welcome to send me a mail!

It did a lot of things right

Not when it comes to the NCAA games
quote:Because EA sucks. The fact that they cornered the entire football market allows them to put out subpar pieces of fecal matter every year.
no one else makes college games
quote:Competition is the only way to force EA to actual improve their games more than just halftime animations and menu layout.
Maybe 2k will be able to make some
quote:Who cares? The graphics were good and the gameplay was excellent. The infatuation with things like halftime shows and fight songs in football games is on par with being excited about the skins you can put on guns in CoD.
horrible animations and presentation.
85 man roster
BTW the infinity engine looks like shite.
Actually it's pretty damn good imo, they had it in Madden 13 and I liked it there.
This guy really hates EA
because it's the same shite every year.
quote:The fact that it is the same shite every year is only a part of it. One of the bigger parts is the fact that they charge $65 for pretty much an updated roster.
how much do you honestly expect it to change each year?
never understood these comments... It's college football, how much do you honestly expect it to change each year?
Something I've been hoping for for years is the ability to actually identify blitzers and assign a lineman/RB to block them. Rather than just slide protection.

April 2013 Suggestions![ Edited ]
Hey Home Community,
April is here, and summer is around the corner. What will this month bring?
Let me get down to business—
Helpful hints to post the best suggestions:
1) Your top Virtual Item requests from games or general items. A Virtual Item is pretty much anything in Home you can own (clothing, figurines, furniture, etc.) but cannot live in (like Personal Spaces).
2) Visual aids AKA screenshots! If you can find a screenshot of what you want, please include these! That old saying, "A picture is worth 1000 words," could not be truer. You all do a great job. Keep throwing suggestions and pics our way! Thanks in advance for collecting images, reference art, etc. to best illustrate just what you're talking about.
P.S.: If you are new to these forums (or just new to this process), check last month's suggestion thread to see how your fellow community members submit their requests.
P.P.S.: Continuing the effort to keep this thread tidy, please refrain from making commentary about other suggestions in this thread. Simply copy/paste and begin another thread to start a conversation about a particular item, suggestion, concept or idea.
Re: April 2013 Suggestions![ Edited ]
Please bring us more real game related content – costumes, lounges, events and so on!
For example if Konami can make a Gothic Cathedral personal space and club house, Fashionista dresses and GoGo Bikini's they should be able to also make us real game related content too.
Tomb Raider
The Last of Us
Assassins Creed III
Metal Gear Solid 5
Little Big Planet Karting Event
and more!
Thank you!
Re: April 2013 Suggestions!
Wardrobe Customization: Layering
Assuming Ps4 will have Home, with larger memory capabilities, I'm hoping now is the time to suggest more expansion for our wardrobes for the Ps4.
Here's how I think it should work, without having to recode items:
Create new categories. For example, the Torso section. Let's say once someone hits Torso, a few more folder options appear:
Each category can be compatible to the Torso we have today, meaning any Torso item can be worn as either Undershirt, Shirt, or Jacket. Establish priorities. Let's use a numbering system:
Undershirt: #1
Shirt: #2
Jacket: #3
The higher the number, the further outside the layer appears. If they collide, the higher number is visible. Therefore, if one wants to wear a bikini top, I would suggest putting it as an undershirt. A tank top can then be placed as a shirt. The benefit of doing this is being able to further customize our avatars, with parts of the bikini top being visible (the straps) while wearing a tank top over it.
Using this system, other aspects of the wardrobe can utilize this too. Hands, for example, can have separate categories for hand items, wings, and auras. Same goes for pant layers, shoe layers (you can sell socks!)
Hope this isn't too much, but it would be a nice feature for everyone to utilize. I am a Plus subscriber, but I would like to see an option like this available for everyone.
Re: April 2013 Suggestions![ Edited ]
There's a certain robotic armored superhero movie coming out at the beginning of next month and it would be nice to have a costume or an equivalent to it and/or maybe even a personal space. -Wink- -Wink-
Pretty Pretty Please???
Re: April 2013 Suggestions!
The Pool hall / Bowling alley as a personal space, or atleast have the lanes & tables in there available for purchase,.. Preferably the older versions of both but I suppose the 1s in there currently would be acceptable. If the forum is only a small percentage of the entire Home community imagine how much this number would explode if the whole community used the forum. It's odviously a money maker so why ignore it?
Re: April 2013 Suggestions!
As a rule of thumb in the future. I'd like to suggest that ALL downloaded games from the PSN store, should by default include Home rewards exclusive to the game purchase.
Re: April 2013 Suggestions!
What about an active item that's like the gingerbread house or bunny den. But instead people random people come out of it. Like it could be a phone booth or something and these random npc wander around your personal space.

He lives well out of the city down a small pot-holed, red, dirt road – to the rubber farm we go! Over 4000 trees tapped in a way similar to Maple. The cut a small slit in the bark where the liquid drips down into little buckets. Workers go throughout the night to cut each one – 2 days cutting and 1 day resting. In the morning, a little acid is added to the liquid to solidify the rubber.
We took a lovely walk all over the land and into the jungle a bit. Let's watch out for the king cobra! I was beginning to think that the whole mosquito thing was a farang exaggeration, but this spontaneous walk without deet proved otherwise. But it's not just the mosquitoes that bits, the plants as well as the ants do! Must be careful to not stop walking, otherwise the will get on you. At one point, I looked down and my foot and sandal were swarming with ants! It was lovely to walk and admire all the foliage. Plants that I've only ever seen in it's miniature form in greenhouses explode! Huge clusters of bamboo and hidden jungle rivers with little waterfalls are everywhere.
Besides rubber trees, they also grow lamboutan trees, which is an extremely cool looking fruit
When we met Pipat, we went for a walk through the market as we wanted to buy some food to help contribute to a meal. So many vegetables that look different – who knew there were so many varieties of eggplant? Crabs, turtles, frogs, eels, jelly fish...the list of edible creatures is endless it seems!
Spent some time cooking together. Everything goes into a giant mortar and pestle which is so big it's almost impossible to lift. Fish, garlic, chilli, lime, palm sugar. You must always remember the 4 tastes: sweet, salt, sour and spice, so every bite is a taste explosion! Not like much of our bland food. We made a soup with a tamarind juice and chilli paste base with an omelet cut up and placed in the soup. We also took many of the vegetables we bought and dipped them in a chilli paste.
Later, we sat outside and watched the lizards and other creatures of the night came out while we talked and talked. Brian is learning all the important things like the names of different lizards and the finer points of what being a lady-boy is all about.
That is one of the best things about couch surfing – that you can talk to a local' and learn about many aspects of a culture that would otherwise be lost

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I love Burns, although I have to read slow to understand him sometimes. In honor choir in High School I sang an arrangement of "My Luve's Like a Red, Red, Rose", so that's my favorite.
For anyone who wants to hear it, I managed to find it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DItn6unqCZ4
Knitette you never received a package at all?
Or the ones you mailed never made it, sorry confused.
Never look down on anyone, unless you are helping them up.
However, my January SP emailed to say sorry for it being posted late and Lori tells me it was posted on the 23rd (see also post #770 on this thread).
Thank you for your kind offer quiltingdragon your thoughtfulness means a lot - much more than any parcel.
'A misty morning may become a clear day' (Scottish proverb)
Lang may yer lum reek. (I'm a knitter - hence - 'Knit-ette'. Confuses a lot of people!)
Just to clarify - please, please don't send any parcels or gifts (unless you get me in Feb, lol) - your thoughts are more than enough!
Lang may yer lum reek. (I'm a knitter - hence - 'Knit-ette'. Confuses a lot of people!)
K, what a beautiful gift!! I'll bet you can't quit smiling, which I am sure was the intention!
Knitette, From the US I don't believe it is that much more expensive, if you check out the prices. I had to go on line and sign up, cause the post office was less than helpful. The program I found worked very good, but I thought I signed up for a USPS service and it was not. And they charge $15 a month. I don't think I will use it enough to pay that, I do not recall seeing that information as I signed up, but I was getting antsy about the mailing. The pay one price envelope turned out to be almost double what first class was. Moral of the story, follow the instructions and get your international package out early. My first didn't, but my next one will!! I always seem to be behind. When I was young, I was ALWAYS early for everything. I must be taking all that time back. LOL While I love to swap with everyone, US and abroad, it is great getting to know someone from other parts of this great country, but the international flair REALLY sets it off!! I hope all our international friends will bear with us "less than perfect" humans, and us "less than perfect" humans strive to be better!! LOL And to those, and I know they are FEW, that sign up just to get a package and never send one out, SHAME ON YOU!!! I hope our hard working swap hosts track and share these individuals so they don't get away with it more than once!! Whoo, that was a tall soap box.

"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."
Knitette I'm so sorrry that happened to you! Don't understand why people sign up and then don't follow through! As one of those who has received from you we would greatly miss you and all those wonderful things from Scotland! Hoping you receive a pkg this week!
Well I don't know how she did it, but my package from buslady, posted on the 22nd (tsk! tsk!) arrived in six days which included the weekend! I love everything. In fact Onalee got me everything I asked for. I've told her I'm going to divorce DH and marry her, lol. Thank you.
With regard to the two from December, I think what you folks say is, 'I'm over it'
Lang may yer lum reek. (I'm a knitter - hence - 'Knit-ette'. Confuses a lot of people!)
Nice package Knitette, you're going to love the Havel seam ripper. I've had mine for about 1 1/2 yrs. and it's the only one I use. Very sharp though and it can cut a hole in your fabric real easy, ask me how I know? I want to get another one for sewing upstairs. The blades last forever but let me know if you can't find them in Scotland, I ordered a box of them and would be glad to share.

Arsène Wenger says summer signing Gervinho has all the attributes required to be successful at Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal fans will get their first glimpse of the Ivorian frontman at the Emirates Cup this weekend following his sensational two-goal debut against FC Cologne on Saturday.
While Wenger knows his 30-minute cameo in Germany is only the start of his career in north London, he has already seen enough of the 24-year-old to know that he will be a fine addition to his strikeforce.
"I am confident he will integrate well into our collective play and he has qualities which will be needed by the group," said Wenger on Friday. "That is his movement off the ball and his pace.
"The first impression is always very important because you get some trust from the fans and confidence for yourself. He has been successful on that front.
"It is only a half-hour but he has been very efficient. He has the qualities we like from a striker, he can score and give assists.
"Our strength is to play together as a team so to give the ball as a striker is important for us."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

At UNC March 31: 'Fixing our fiscal future'
From staff reports
CHAPEL HILL -- Former Federal Reserve Board vice chairwoman Alice Rivlin and a panel of other national policy experts will lead a public discussion on practical solutions to the nation's mounting debt at a public event, "Fixing Our Fiscal Future," at 5:30 p.m. March 31 at Kenan-Flagler Business School's Maurice J. Koury Auditorium on the UNC campus.
The event, free and open to the public, is co-hosted by the Frank Hawkins Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise and bi-partisan Concord Coalition. A reception will follow. Details and a link to RSVP are at www.kenaninstitute.unc.edu/deficit.
"Current U.S. fiscal policy is not sustainable. Future generations face dire consequences if we fail to make serious changes in spending, taxation and debt -- sooner, rather than later," said Kenan Institute director John D. Kasarda. "We encourage students, in particular, to attend this event and contribute their ideas. Their futures will be profoundly affected by our nation's response to this pressing issue."
Panelists will be:
n Rivlin, who also served as director of the White House Office of Management and Budget for the Clinton Administration.
n J. Alexander McMillan, former congressman, R-N.C. (District 9).
n Robert Bixby, executive director, Concord Coalition.
n Stefan Byrd-Krueger, youth outreach coordinator, Concord Coalition.
The Concord Coalition is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization dedicated to balanced federal budgets and generationally responsible fiscal policy. Former U.S. Senators Warren Rudman (R-N.H.) and Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.) serve as Concord's co-chairmen and former Secretary of Commerce Peter Peterson serves as president of the board. For more information, visit www.concordcoalition.org.
The Kenan Institute, the economic-development arm of UNC Kenan-Flagler, pursues research and programming in the areas of entrepreneurship, economic development and global competitiveness. For more information, visit www.kenaninstitute.unc.edu.

Story highlights
- The Caribbean's hot summertime festival may have just wrapped, but we're still reveling in the color burst
- Barbados' vibrant Crop Over festival ended August 4
- The festival has evolved from a harvest celebration to the greatest representation of the island
Think the only world-class Caribbean carnival takes place in Trinidad and Tobago?
Not even close.
Barbados' vibrant Crop Over summer festival, which once marked the end of the sugar crop harvest and a celebration for slaves, has evolved into the greatest representation of the island's saucy spirit.
This year's party wrapped on August 4, with the usual smash of color, costumes, music, food and unique history from one of the Carib's easternmost islands.
Crop Over events range from historic remembrances such as the Ceremonial Delivery of the Last Canes, where plantation-era traditions are on display, to Foreday Morning, in which participants slather each other in mud, paint and powder, to Grand Kadooment, in which revelers wine the day away in scanty costumes of feathers and beads, grooving to soca music.
As the photo gallery above shows, the 21-mile-long island of Barbados may be small in size, but its unique spin on carnival is proof of its fervor.

I have big plans for our thinksgiving turkey. Picked up my pig from the butcher just over a week ago, put a dry cure on my pork belly. One week later I set up the cardboard box hot smoker (tender loin) and piped the smoke thru a dryer hose to my cold smoker.
Long story short, after smoking my belly for 5 hours, it was time to take the skin off. Now I had a delimma, what to do with a cured smoked pig fat laden piece of pigskin..... Decision made, I will be be wraping a boneless/skinless turkey breast in the pig skin. The turkey will be stuffed with a mix of different mushrooms (bad news is I am out of morels)and some fersh herbs.
Well thats what I'm doing with my turkey, what are you doing with yours?

Don't you all have to worry about ants? I'm trying to figure out what kind of stand I can make for multiple hives to keep ants out. Something with legs to go into water buckets. I don't see any of that in these pictures....do they become a problem?
Cabees check out the bottom boards in the picture I posted. I modified and put steel "legs" on mine so I could put them in cans of water to keep the ants out. I don't have the water cans on in this picture but I adjust depending on the time of year when it comes to ants.

It doesn't bother me that a player on the losing team thinks otherwise. Its just an expression of frustration. He's not attacking our team or the legitimacy of our championship.
Its a pure knee jerk reaction for Giants fans to get all huffy over comments like this. Its as predictable as the sunrise. Wouldn't it be refreshing to have some posters not react like a bunch of Pavlovian dogs? And actually take a breath and understand the context of the comments.
I guess I'm just a naive dreamer. But I happen to think that Giants fans are a cut above.

Choosing certifications - New in this business
I've been looking on OSCP for some time now and wondering if it's the way to go. The thing is that I've been using Backtrack for a few years back and been into pentesting (web) for a few years. And I'm currently reading up on exploit development, thereby OSCP since I've heard that it's one of a kind certification.
I've been gathering CCNA, CCNA Sec, CCNP Route under my time at the university so I feel that I've got a solid ground on networking.
So basically what I'm looking for is what certification that I should get into regarding pentesting, what I need to take into the equation is that I'm living in Sweden and I'm not sure what kind of certifications that are recognized.
What certification suite my "needs"?

It was such a nice day, 70 deg so I thought I should check my bees (3 hives, 2 started with nucs in May and one swarm started in Sep) and I am blessed with a hive that has 2 queens in it I think. On was my marked queen that I started with in a nuc back in May and the other not makred. This hive has one deep and 2 med 10 frame boxes and has good honey stores. Both queens were on the same frame, there was capped and uncapped larve on it. Watch them for several minutes and they were going about their business. None of the other bees were bothering them. This is the second time this year I have found 2 queens in this hive.
What I am not sure about is what to do with them its to late to start a split, so I put the box back togeather. Does any one have any ideals on what I should do or should I leave them alone?

Monitronics Joins Alarm Program to Cut Emergency Response Time
As one of only three monitoring companies selected to participate in a new computer-aided dispatch program, Monitronics Int'l will now monitor calls for Richmond, Va., and the Houston Emergency Center (HEC).
By Ashley Willis · August 2, 2011
DALLAS — As one of only three monitoring companies selected to participate in a new computer-aided dispatch program, Monitronics Int'l will now monitor calls for Richmond, Va., and the Houston Emergency Center (HEC). Monitronics joins Vector Security and United Central Control (UCC) in the program.
The Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP) program is a computer-aided dispatch system designed by the Central Station Alarm Association (CSAA) and the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (APCO Int'l). The protocol reduces the two- to three-minute relay currently in place by allowing a computer at the dispatch center to process data.
"The ASAP program replaces the telephone calls between the alarm company and the 911 public safety answering point [PSAP] call-takers. So, I'm going to get immediate communication from the PSAP and eliminate any hold times my operators may have when it comes to making a dispatch. The program not only reduces the phone calls, but it reduces any mistakes that one of my operators may make," Monitronics Central Station Director Mary Jensby tells SSI.
When CSAA President Ed Bonifas said the association was looking for a third central station to join the ASAP pilot program at CSAA's conference last fall, it sparked Jensby's interest. When she returned to the company's Dallas headquarters, she discussed the matter with Monitronics Vice President Rick Hudson, who was thrilled with the idea. Then, Monitronics began making the necessary changes to receive approval to join the program.
"CSAA and APCO had to approve us first," Jensby says. "Then we had to go through Nlets [the International Justice & Public Safety Network] inspections."
Nlets links the majority of the nation's 6,500 PSAPs to international, federal and state criminal justice and public safety-related databases. With Monitronics using Nlets' server for the program, the company had to undergo rigorous inspections to make sure equipment and security were up to par.
"The inspection included background checks," Jensby says. We had to be compliant and really make sure that our security was in place. We don't want anyone tapping into their server through our equipment."
After Nlets cleared the company, 142 operators went through two trainings, including a 15-minute Security Awareness Web course. Monitronics training coach Anne Glickstein also designed a 30-minute Web-based training to show how the communication would work between the operators and the PSAPs. The company then participated in the ASAP pilot program from March to August 2 to work out any kinks.
For her part, Jensby now serves as ASAP chairperson for the CSAA. She will work closely with Bonifas and Vector Security President Pam Petrow to spread the word to different PSAPs about the program.
"With budget cuts happening throughout the United States in government agencies, ASAP will definitely make an impact," Jensby says. "This is going to eliminate the need for phone calls that tie up dispatchers. It's something that we've been trying to make happen for 20 to 25 years to make it better for everybody. This will help the relationship between monitoring companies and police agencies to evolve."
And, Jensby knows quite a bit about building a strong relationship with law enforcement, as Monitronics has reduced its false alarms from 0.67 percent to 0.5 percent. That effort earned the company this year's False Alarm Reduction Association (FARA) Industry False Alarm Reduction Achievement Award.
Twin City, Va., will be the next city to roll out the ASAP system. "They have their CAD system that's ready," Jensby says. "They'll be able to do the dispatches here within the next three to four months."

OpenELEC is an embedded operating system built specifically to run XBMC, the open source entertainment media hub. The idea behind OpenELEC is to allow people to use their Home Theatre PC (HTPC) like any other device you might have attached to your TV, like a DVD player or Sky box.
But before continuing with OpenELEC i do a step back and say a few words about XBMC.
Xbox Media Center (XBMC) is an open source program created for the Xbox and now available on xbmc.org for Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, Apple TV and Xbox. On all platforms other than Xbox, XBMC acts as an application, possibly launched at boot time or later.
XBMC can play most formats of audio/video, and if there is an internet connection it's able to use network services, such as getting movie and album reviews, or view movies in streaming.

We were staying in the apartment for a week and it turned out to be a perfect basecamp for our stay in Porto.
The apartment is very lovely and perfect for two people. It is close to the Metro Stop and also the center of Porto is within walking distance. The little garden is very lovely and perfect to have breakfast or a glass of wine and relax in the sun.
Everything was effortless and we'd stay there again anytime =)
Nice studio near the center of town and metro-station. The owner gave us touristic advises, which was very nice. We enjoyed the garden with a glimpse on the ocean (when it was sunny).
We visited the center walking and one day we rented bikes for a tour to the beach.
Very nice little apartment within walking distance to a subway station (Trinidade) and Avenida dos Aliados/Porto town hall. And the beautiful roof terrace is just about the limit!
Handover of keys and apartment without any problems. Antonio, Gundega's husband, took a lot of time for explaining and giving recommendations: where to go, what to see, where to go out for dinner etc. Additionally, his recommendations were not restricted to the city of Porto. He gave us lots of valuable hints concerning the other places in northern Portugal we were heading for after our stay in Porto. This guy knows everything about Portugal! And, even better, he loves to share this knowledge. Full marks, highly recommended!
the appartment is lovely pratic and the terrasse so nice
near underground and center town
Gundega and Pedro give too us good choises to visit Porto
and porto is a very very nice town
you can go , it s a good choice for holidays :-)
Everything written below is true! Very kind hosts, the studio is cosy and clean, and the garden is an oasis in the city!
Gundega e António: desejamos vocês muito felicidade, conjunto com o seu bebê adorável!
An amazing little studio:)!! We really enjoyed staying at Gundega's and Antonio's flat. It was extremely clean and tidy and it had everything we needed. Our favourite part of the flat was the terrace: from there we could admire a great view of city while chilling out on a very cool hamaca. The guys were absolutely lovely and ready to help for anything. They provided us with all the information we needed about places to visit in the city or places where get some traditional food. Overall we had a great experience and I would definitely recommend it!!
We spent 5 special days in Oporto, in the wonderful studio. Everything was perfect, clean and cozy. The garden was amazing, and we used it to enjoy the meals or a relaxing glass of porto in the sunset. It has been a pleasure to meet Gundega, Antonio and Pedro, they received us with enthusiasm and trying to transmit us their love for Oporto (and also with a bottle of vinho verde). We will return there for sure.
Die Wohnung ist sehr schön und zentral, so dass man alles in Porto gut zu Fuß erreichen kann. (Auch wenn gefühlt jede Straße bergauf geht)
Bei der Ankunft wurden wir herzlich und mit einer Flasche Wein von Antonio und Gundega begrüßt und uns wurde alles gezeigt.
Die Tipps zum ausgehen waren wirklich gold wert und haben uns gut geholfen.
Die Wohnung war sauber und gemütlich, die Terasse wird gemeinsam mit dem oberen Appartment genutzt, wobei für beide ein eigener Bereich vorhanden ist.
Sollten wir mal wieder nach Porto kommen würden wir das Appartment wahrscheinlich wieder buchen!
Super séjour à PORTO belle ville a découvrir, on y mange bien a pas cher
très bien reçu par ANTONIO avec de bon conseils merci pour le vin en cadeau et la location rien a redire très bien !
Les portugais sont très accueillants des gens charmants
Séjour a refaire!!
Tres joli studio idéalement placé pour une visite de Porto.
Les conseils pour la découverte de Porto sont excellents.
Merci encore

NBC/WSJ poll finds 54% have no confidence in Obama's leadership
posted at 8:41 am on June 18, 2014 by Ed Morrissey
The sixth-year blues have caught up to Barack Obama … with a vengeance. In an NBC/WSJ poll taken before the meltdown in Iraq, Obama gets his lowest marks ever on foreign policy, where his claim to "smart power" has evidently reached its expiration date. But the real danger to Obama and to Democrats vying for office in less than five months is the vote of no confidence in Obama's leadership:
The percentage of Americans approving of President Barack Obama's handling of foreign policy issues has dropped to the lowest level of his presidency as he faces multiple overseas challenges, including in Iraq,according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
Additionally, the public is evenly split on whether Obama is a competent manager of the federal bureaucracy. And a majority of respondents – 54 percent – believe the term-limited president is no longer able to lead the country. …
Just 37 percent approve of his handling of foreign policy, which is an all-time low in the survey, while 57 percent disapprove, an all-time high.
What's more, by a 44 percent-to-30 percent margin, Americans disagree with the Obama administration's decision to secure the release of U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for five imprisoned Taliban fighters.
Obama's job approval comes in at 41/53, the second-worst in the NBC/WSJ series (March 2014's 41/54 is the nadir). The 37/57 on foreign policy is a record low for Obama, and the economy is nearly at a historical low at 41/54. But it's the leadership issues that will make headlines today. In terms of competency, Obama now ranks below Bush at the analogous point in time of his predecessor's presidency. Post-Katrina Bush had a 53/46 rating for competency, while it's an even split at 50/50 for Obama. Thirty-one percent say Obama isn't competent at all, compared to 24% for Bush in the same time frame, and that's a ten-point increase for Obama from last June.
That last metric isn't an anomaly. Only 15% believe that Obama's performance has improved over the past year, while 41% think it has gotten worse. The top areas in which those respondents believe Obama has gotten worse are ObamaCare, foreign policy — and the Taliban 5 swap for Bowe Bergdahl, with the economy and Obama's dishonesty rounding out the top five. Small wonder, then, that only 42% of respondents think Obama can still lead this nation, while 54% reject Obama's leadership.
As Chuck Todd tells Morning Joe, "This is the public saying your presidency is over":
I'd disagree with Chuck on what this means for Democrats, though. While it's true that the Congressional polling isn't a disaster for Democrats, voters will be looking for ways to fill the leadership vacuum and deal with the perceived incompetence and dishonesty at the White House — and they won't be choosing Democrats for that mission.

What a difference a year makes. Exactly 12 months ago I was driving another Mitsubishi Outlander, one of the last of what was once New Zealand's best-selling medium SUV, and thinking that its use-by date had arrived.
The Outlander was still okay, but lacked some of the refinement of its newer rivals.
The marketplace must have thought likewise, because the Outlander's sales had been taking a mauling, principally from Holden's Captiva.
Mitsubishi was, of course, well into the development of a new model that broke cover in New Zealand last month, and here I am again enjoying the new year in the top-line VRX turbodiesel. One can be yours for $56,990.
And the question I'm asking is whether there's much to celebrate in this new model?
It looks rather like the old one; perhaps a little too close for comfort except at the nose, which no longer emulates an F-100 Super Sabre's.
Well, it doesn't leak that much was quickly established driving in the wet, rubbish weather that soaked much of Driven's readership over Christmas.
And like most modern SUVs, it handled wet, slippery roads with ease. Switch it into auto 4WD mode, the next one up from the Eco setting that keeps it in 2WD as much as possible, and you can all but feel the sensors gritting their teeth and feeding mega-information to the computer, which uses it to sort out traction issues.
The VRX is the top Outlander, a specification available to both diesel and petrol buyers; it has leather seating and most of the trimmings, so on a wet and unappealing day it's a really nice place to be. Conservative for sure, but also reassuring.
It sort of reminded me of the secure feeling I got, as a kid, visiting the grandparents' place.
I don't think Mitsubishi really had the youth market in mind when it styled the VRX's interior; but that Bottom line:
The VRX's interior may evoke memories of granny's living room, but maybe that's a good thing aside, it's a decent improvement, and it's also rather quieter.
As before, the real feature of the Outlander's great indoors is seating for seven.
Let's not kid ourselves that, in a vehicle only 4655mm long, the six and seventh seats aren't going to be compromised.
The previous Outlander arrangement wasn't bad, but Mitsubishi has now done better.
When not needed, the seats, which split 50/50, vanish into the floor.
Unfolded, they're easy to get to and provide reasonable comfort for smaller people, made more so by the second row that slides forward by up to 250mm, giving more leg room back there - at the expense of the second-row occupants.
In a perfect Mitsubishi world, the driver and front passenger will have short legs, so both the first and second rows can shuffle forward for the good of those in the third.
True, there's not much room for more than a paper bag in the cargo area with the third row in place, but flatten the second and third rows and there's a cargo compartment 1690mm long, 335mm more than the previous Outlander.
Mitsubishi suggests this will accommodate five extra cases of wine, but failed to supply said cargo for Driven to confirm.
Enter a new power tailgate that works by a switch on the door or remotely, from the smart key. Domestic managers with three kids and four bags of groceries, in the rain, may appreciate this addition and even admire the way it glides up and down, but real blokes will just want to haul open the damned thing by hand.
Also aft is a reversing camera that displays what you're about to hit on a seven-inch dash-mounted monitor.
But the real story is the diesel. It's the first time Outlander has had one, which previously put it at a disadvantage in a sector with a healthy appetite for this type of engine.
The 2268cc four-cylinder produces 112kW and 366Nm of torque between 1500rpm and 2750rpm.
Overall fuel economy is 5.8 litres per 100km and CO2 emissions, 151g/km.
It's not the boldest diesel in the SUV park, but it's lively enough, especially when moved along via the steering-column shift paddles.
Its torque characteristics complement a chassis that offers almost-sporty handling.
The market is awash with mid-size SUVs. The numbers thin when seven seats are a must.
Among this group, the Outlander VRX should do very well.

Denny grew up in Lincoln, then earned degrees from three institutions (in Photography, Sociology, and Mass Media Communications) before heading back home (like we all do) a few years ago. He started booking shows at the Whiskey Republic and created the General Assembly as an avenue to "bring together musicians and bands of all genres to promote sustainable local music and culture.
"The General Assembly idea was inspired partially from my experience years ago doing a photo documentary on the Flint, Michigan, music scene, where all across the state they would have these amazing local shows with bands of all genres playing together and supporting each other," Rochefort said when we caught up earlier this week.
"When I began booking local acts at Whiskey, I saw how difficult it was to get people to come out to local shows in Providence, not to mention how divided the music scene seemed," Rochefort recalled. "So 'General Assembly' was a concept I came up with to try and bridge everyone together."
Rochefort also was inspired by Whiskey Republic co-owner and Dropkick Murphys frontman Ken Casey. "Working for Ken was nothing short of great for me," he said. "He really launched me headfirst into this business."
Another positive attained from working with Casey and the Dropkicks was being introduced to artist Pete MacPhee's work (aka "Uncle Pete"), who he landed to produce limited edition prints (seen on this page) which will be available at the show for $10.
Rochefort is considered an associate talent buyer at Fête, with hopes of eventually working out a partnership as an in-house talent buyer, with Fête as his "home venue."
The State of the Union idea came to fruition while lining up some of his favorite bands for his 29th birthday. "Around the same time (Fête VP) Don King was coming up with concepts for quarterly events at Fête and named mine State of the Union. "
Rochefort's biggest booking coup thus far came with the recent (sold-out) Revival Tour, and has scored sponsorship from Anarchy Eyewear, Narragansett Beer, and The Onion. He also has an eye on spreading the General Assembly wealth around, with Herra Terra booked at Local 121 later this month, and continues to make contacts with Boston-based artists.
"Even with my Tuesday night General Assembly shows, I try to get Boston bands involved as much as I can in hopes that they'll help out Providence bands too," Rochefort noted.

On November 6th, 1965, Gerald Kline (24) and his wife Linda (20) were traveling down the highway near Fresno, California when a car traveling in the opposite direction crossed lanes and collided with them head-on. Gerald, Linda and their 13-month old, Theresa Robin, were all killed. Gerald's two young sons, Jerry (4) and Paul (3), who were playing on the floor in the back seat, were the only Kline survivors.
I am Courtney, daughter of Jerry Kline. This blog is the story of my efforts to find out everything I can about my grandparents. My dad doesn't know much about his family. He can't remember anything before the accident. I want to know who there were, how they fell in love, who their friends were. I want to know everything.

Sao Bento is less than 15 minutes walking distance from Cais do Sodré Train Station. The Metro there provides access to central Lisbon in 10 minutes. Lisbon International Airport is 8 km away.
If you walk 10 minutes you´re at "Bairro Alto", known as one of the most attractive and picturesque areas of the Lisbon's city center. At night, this 17th century colorful district is transformed into the city's vibrant nightlife quarter. The main streets and narrow passageways are bustling with activity of dozens of excellent traditional restaurants, «fado singing houses», cafés, and a multitude of sleek clubs and bars that stay open until late. In recent years, «Bairro Alto» is also an alternative shopping destination, for those looking for trendy design shops, art galleries and bookshops.
Bairro Alto, one of the Lisbon hippest and coolest place.
There are several buses and trams, and subway, 10 minutes away, although one can easily walk to the main points of the city. Five minutes walking is the heart of the glamorous and cosmopolitan city can still be felt in the Chiado, a place where the "new" and "old" live in harmony. Characterized by casual-chic atmosphere, with streets full of shops, fine restaurants, beautiful cobblestone, beautiful churches and timeless cafes, Chiado makes any visitor feel real Lisbon.
Chiado is where Lisbon's history and urbanity meet. This tourist area of the capital begins at the Brasileira café, on Rua Garrett. Opened in 1905. It´s one of Lisbon's postcards. On the side walk café you will find the different urban tribes and a statue of poet Fernando Pessoa, who offers his lap for tourist photos.
Next to it, two churches remind the vanished towers of Santa Catarina Gate. The Church of Loreto, built in 1528 by Italians living in Lisbon, was partially destroyed by the 1755 earthquake, but later rebuilt and one of the places to visit on Chiado. The Church of Encarnação, inaugurated in 1708, was also hit in 1755 and rebuilt later. But Chiado has more than just two churches to (website hidden)ís de Camões square, which any Lisboner will call Largo Camões, is not just a passing place. Sit on the steps of the poet's monument and enjoy the bustle that Chiado has.
But do not leave Chiado without inquiring about the theatres. São Luiz Municipal Theatre was one of Lisbon's first cinemas. Today it is a municipal theatre with a rich and varied programming. Also glimpse the Teatro Trindade and the S. Carlos Opera House.
This is one of the city´s best shopping areas. You will find international brand shops (Hermès and Hugo Boss, for example) and great Portuguese designers like José António Tenente (Tv. Carmo, 8) StoryTailors (Cç. Do Ferragial, 8) or Atelier Alves/Gonçalves (Tv. Guilherme Cossul, 16).
It is not difficult to come across public figures, mainly artists. There are several art schools in the area, like the Fine Arts Faculty. Even if you are not an expert, venture into the Chiado Museum - National Museum of Contemporary Art (Rua Serpa Pinto, 4) besides well-cared exhibitions, it has a pleasant patio to have lunch or simply sip a coffee. There is also a big offer for meals: Café Royale, New Wok and Kaffee Hause are excellent choices.

Reviews for this host's other properties
A verry charming apartement. great view from the terrace overlooking the Bridge.
Y would recommend for visiting Lissabon. When this apartement has a good bed and the chairs on the balcony are fixt its perfect.
Well located, next to the metro station.
The owner was flexible with check in & out
the apartment is well accomodated and comfortable.
We had a really good stay in this appartment.
It's very central, you can go by feet in the city center.
The appartment was as descriped and he met us at the agreed time.
We had an amazing time in Lisbon , the house was perfect with beautiful view. Would be happy to be there again!
Very good location, professional host , friendly. The apartment was very very small, About 9M! And no bed ! only a oncomfortable sofa. The host bring us extra matrass, Thank you For that. Internet wifi was a disaster. Noisy street. Overall The location and host made iT bearable.
Very nice and spacious apartment (roof terrace apartment).
Beautiful views and everything available.
The shower is possibly. Not for people over 1.80 m but nevertheless feasible.
The questions before the trip to ask the owner answered all quickly and to our satisfaction.
Can book the apartment for another trip again.
Sehr schöne und geräumige Wohnung (Dachterassenwohnung).
Wunderschöne Aussicht und alles vorhanden.
Die Dusche ist ggfs. Nichts für Personen über 1,80m aber dennoch machbar.
Die vor der Reise gestellten Fragen an die Vermieter wurden alle schnell und zu unserer zufriedenheit beantwortet.
Buchen gerne die Wohnung bei einer weiteren Reise wieder.
We are 9 days in this studio. Everything was as described except for the noise. We found that this is not "normal" city noise more. Within an hour, flew about 500 feet above the house at least 15 aircraft to the airport, the beautiful bridge that we, if not the noise of the cars and the bridge deck would have been otherwise could enjoy. At night you can not sleep with the window open it. Too bad that is not pointed out this noise. So simply was not true value for money.
Wir waren 9 Tage in diesem Studio. Alles war so wie beschrieben bis auf den Lärm. Wir fanden, dass es sich um keinen "normaler" Großstadtlärm mehr handelt. Innerhalb einer Stunde flogen etwa 500 Meter über dem Haus mindestens 15 Flugzeuge zum Flughafen, die wunderschöne Brücke, die wir, wenn nicht der Lärm von den Autos und dem Brückenbelag gewesen wäre, ansonsten hätten genießen können. Nachts kann man nicht bei geöffnetem Fenster schlafen. Schade, dass nicht auf diesen Lärm hingewiesen wird. So stimmte einfach nicht das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
The truth is that our stay there was very nice, the floor was like in the photos and when we arrived everything was very clean and tidy. The beds were very comfortable and the noise meter that some spoke there, but nothing obscures stay. Access to one of the three rooms (the ladder) is not suitable for people with dizziness, but otherwise all great. The complete list explained some questions we had about the city. I would go back tomorrow.
La verdad que nuestra estancia allí fue muy agradable, el piso era como en las fotos y cuando llegamos todo estaba muy limpio y en orden. Las camas eran muy comodas y el ruido del metro del que algunos hablaban, existe, pero para nada enturbia la estancia. El acceso a una de las tres habitaciones (la de la escalera) es no apta para gente con vertigo, pero por lo demás, todo genial. Ademas el anfitrion nos explicó algunas dudas que teniamos respecto a la ciudad. Volvería mañana mismo.
The book and the process on arrival was smooth and very friendly. Bruno replied to all questions patiently and helped with everything. The apartment is small, but perfectly adequate for two people. The rooftop terrace offers a magnificent view. It was everything available and clean. The only minus point we can begin, was the cookware. For the first there was not much there and not necessarily clean. We are therefore always went to eat, although we would have loved to eat good times on our roof terrace at night.
Die Buchung und der Ablauf bei Ankunft verlief reibungslos und sehr freundlich. Bruno hat auf alle Fragen geduldig geantwortet und war bei allem behilflich. Die Wohnung ist zwar klein, aber vollkommen ausreichend für zwei Personen. Von der Dachterrasse hat man einen herrlichen Blick. Es war alles vorhanden und sauber. Den einzigen Minuspunkt den wir ansetzen können, war das Kochgeschirr. Zum ersten war nicht viel da und nicht unbedingt sauber. Wir sind deshalb immer zum Essen gegangen, obwohl wir auch gerne mal schön auf unserer Dachterrasse zu Abend gegessen hätten.
We were treated well. Location excellent near tram 28. A very nice Cape Verde restaurant in the neighborhood. The apartment is a bit small for two people but excellent for one person. The equipment is OK with stove, microwave and washing machine.

Vi blev väl bemötta. Läget utmärkt nära spårvagn 28. En mycket trevlig Kap Verde-restaurang i grannskapet. Lägenheten lite trång för två personer men utmärkt för en person. Utrustningen OK med spis, microvågsugn och tvättmaskin.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

The focus of The Showdown Effect is in recreating the outrageous action found in classic action movies and taking them one step further. Players can pick weaponry from the silver screen's unparallelled arsenal, including shotguns, frying pans, lightsabers, assault rifles, grenades, katanas, gauss guns and anything in between. No explosion is too loud and no bullet dodge is implausible – The Showdown Effect is all about impaling your friend with nearby broomstick and dropping a "Stick around"-taunt as you jetpack heroically off to the next enemy.
Beneath all of this The Showdown Effect is heavily invested in the fundamentals of platforming, providing controls that are responsive and satisfying when it comes to simply running and jumping. Likewise, as a multiplayer game The Showdown Effect will offer all the progressive rewards and unlocks that players have come to love and to cherish.
