Chuck, just wondering how you make your entrances work on the 10 frame med. Some pics would be great if you have some.
Chuck, just wondering how you make your entrances work on the 10 frame med. Some pics would be great if you have some.
I understand ya now! At first I wasnt following you on dividing the box into 4 parts. You stated that you were overwintering some indoors. Could you give us a little more information on that? Like, are they just out of the weather or are they confined in the hive in a heated building?
I will try and get some pics posted of the breeder box.Better to make them into 3 parts instead of 4.They just have a hole drilled in the front or back of the box on alternating ends so there is some space between entrances.I have 12 hives indoors on the third floor of a big industrial building that we own.They are in a side room that used to be a ladies rest room and lounge.(great because there are tile floors and running water)We dont heat this area but since heat rises it is like a chimney for the rest of the building(approximatly 200,000 square ft.)so it stays about 50 degrees even when its 18 degrees outside.There used to be windows in there but I put plywood over the openings and drilled a hole and slid a 1 inch tube out for an exit.I can feed all winter without them having to cluster real tight.This is the first time trying this but so far so good.These were all weak splits and hives that wouldnt have made it through winter otherwise.Most were late Sept. and early Oct splits.
A few pics of mine, 10/5 frame and double 3 frame.
Nice pictures Ross. That is a good idea of the entrance on the bottom board. This is the probably the only instance where those nice hand holds aint so cool!
I have successfully overwintered 4 frame(deeps) nucs with a division feeder like scdw's.
Screened ventilation holes at both ends,feedbag for innercover.Copied from Mike Palmer.
I make a special bottom board with a 3/4 rim with entrances on opposite sides.I found that without the rim,dead bees would clog the entrances
Eventually I would like to transition to all mediums.
Has anyone been successfull overwintering 4 frame med nucs in the north?
Maybe I should overwinter in 2 boxes with a vertical divider in the bottom box and a division feeder and frames of honey on top.

The Pulaski Technical College Police Department will host a Drug Take-Back event on Friday, Oct. 25, to give the PTC community a way to safely dispose of their unwanted or unused prescription drugs.
Officers will be at tables from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Friday in the Campus Center foyer on the Main campus and in the lobbies at Little Rock-West and Little Rock-South. Drops can be dropped off at the tables, and no questions will be asked.
National Drug Take Back Day is an initiative sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Drug Enforcement Administration as a way to help keep communities drug-free and to keep the environment clean. Prescriptions drugs are the most widely abused drugs among youth and teens, and most homes have unused or expired prescription drugs in drawers and medicine cabinets, which children and teens can access. Flushing drugs is not an environmentally safe method of disposal.

As part of its role as program manager and engineering consultant to Houston's Surface Water Transmission Program, Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam Inc. (LAN), Houston, has collaborated closely with the city's Design Branch on a series of emergency repairs to large-diameter water pipelines. During three catastrophic failures, they developed a unique contact management solution to meet the demands of such repair projects.
Harish Jajoo, Houston's Design Branch senior assistant director, said the city's role was to respond as quickly as possible to each disaster and incorporate the advice of LAN and other consultants into the solution. "The first failure occurred in July 1998 when a petroleum pipeline contractor made the costly error of puncturing a 96-inch steel water transmission main," said Jajoo. "The hole was made approximately 3900 feet west of the city's largest surface water facility, the East Water Purification Plant, in an area where the main had been installed at a depth of approximately 30 feet. Further complicating matters, there were no crossover connections to other mains to permit bypassing the damaged area between the plant and the damaged section.
"The city of Houston mobilized more than 40 staff members within two hours and called LAN to join the repair effort," said Jajoo. "The onsite team rushed to close butterfly valves and isolate the damaged section of the main. However, since the rupture occurred at night, we weren't able to conduct a complete assessment with LAN and the team until sunrise the following morning."
By sunrise, crews determined the surface-level damage: The north shoulder of the street under which the main was located had been severely damaged by water erosion. Though the main was isolated, unfortunately the rupture was located in the lowest vertical elevation of the pipeline. Even worse, team members later determined the three isolation valves were leaking. As a result, sufficient pressure remained on the line to further wash away the road.
Since the main would have to be out of service for repair, crews had to take immediate action to avoid the collapse of the city's water distribution system and prevent the need for water rationing.
Due to constraints on draining the line, the contractor assisting the effort suggested an inspection using underwater divers. The divers welded an internal steel patch in place, then coated it and other damaged areas of the pipe. The patch held sufficiently to enable the city to place the main back in service less than three days after the puncture and provide a more permanent repair on the outside of the main.
The team completed emergency repairs in 72 hours. The contractor worked around the clock with support from city crews, divers, and LAN personnel. Crews finished restoration of the roadway at a non-emergency pace for $285,000 for immediate repairs, and $372,000 for total repairs.
It became clear after this failure that a new way to manage emergency repair contracts was needed.
The second pipeline incident occurred when one of two major water lines supplying Houston's Central Business District and surrounding areas suffered a catastrophic failure in October 2002. The failure occurred in a section of an existing 60-inch embedded cylinder prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) that had been constructed in the mid-1970s. In addition to water-line damage, several private residences, commercial properties, and automobiles also sustained heavy damage.
It was clear to the city and LAN that a quick-turnaround solution was necessary. "Due to the high water demands within the area, there would be a significant pressure reduction in the system if the line remained out of service through the summer," said Jajoo. "Also, this would place a substantial strain on groundwater pump stations that the city was already trying to limit using due to ground subsidence."

Ultimate Gentleman: Foosball, Goldbely, Kevin Hart

Lingerie for her, Kevin Hart Stand up & a Gaucho Rambler are this week's must-have's.

If you're working the nine-to-five, chances are your bosses have taken note of all the hip tech companies that are installing everything from swing sets to video game rooms and even slides in their offices after a slew of research came out that the happier your employees are, the better-performing their product is. If you've been tasked with the duty of selecting a few unconventional office supplies, might we suggest this gorgeous handcrafted Foosball Game Table? Who said games had to be kitschy? Keep it looking sharp and modern! It's made of completely reclaimed hardwood and solid cast iron and includes black ironwork that is said to develop "a natural, red-orange patina over time, while game details—like iron nets and purposefully abstract 'players'—give an antique appeal."
These days, everyone is a little bit of a foodie, right? More than ever we're searching for the hottest places to eat or the most innovative cuisines to incorporate into our at-home repertoire, and any chefs making a name for themselves are probably on television at this very moment. Recently we came across Goldbely, a curated food marketplace that "connects curious eaters with America's best gourmet food purveyors." There's a lot of good food out there that you may have heard about but may not have the means to travel across the state to try. This site brings the coolest foods across America right to your doorstep for a pretty reasonable price. Some even include free shipping!
Kevin Hart's latest stand-up tour DVD hits stores and online retailers October 15th, and we've got an exclusive clip of his close friends talking about the perils of being connected to one of the biggest comedians in the world who is known for taking his real-life stories onto the stage. Let Me Explain has already generated more than $32 million in theatrical ticket sales, becoming the fourth-highest-grossing stand-up film of all time. He must be doing something right!
The amount of work put into our fall fashion has made our head spin, so we've shifted our focus to attire that's tailored for those "let me slip into something more comfortable" moments you've experienced with a beautiful vixen. Imagine her surprise when a gorgeous dressing robe is waiting for her in the powder room! Our beautiful Cybergirl Mosh models this stunning handcrafted lingerie from Dottie's Delights in Chicago. Beautiful, aren't they?

While our Be Seen section is usually kept for upscale restaurants and major happenings, what you're driving is even more important. Take a page out of our favorite writer Hunter S. Thompson's book and invest in the limited edition 2013 Ural Gaucho Rambler. Only 50 will be made, and the bike includes a camp kit, blanket, windscreen and more. The asking price is $14,350, but we're sure they'll be going fast. Can you imagine hitting the desert highway, tripping across parts unknown with a gorgeous Bunny at your side? We think we've just decided what we're doing next summer.

Very nice and cosy little appartment. It's small but has everything one needs, the hosts are very friendly, and the location is both quiet and beautiful. Even the dog loved the stay!
I was total satisfied - everything went smoothly. The house was clean and well equipped. Host was very nice and friendly. Nice view and environment. Great places in the neighborhood - worth to visit.
A Nice small apartment in a very nice neighborhood in Venice, few tourists but still good restaurants and very nice people. The host don't speak english but is still very nice and polite. The only thing we missed at the apartment was a AC system because the apartment gets very hot during the summer.
Nicely located apartment with 2 large bedrooms. Big and clean swimmingpool outside to share with the other in the complex. Never crowded. Clean and practical apartment. There were quite a few mosqitoes in July, som should be good to bring mosqitonet to put on the terrace doors to be able to ventilate during the night. No airconditioner installed but night temp. at about 19 degrees C. so ok. You should rent a car to get around/down to the center and beaches. Beautiful scenery.
Splendid location to visit Tirol.
The accommodation provides all you need to enjoy your holidays.
View from the terrace was absolutely beautiful!
The apartment served our purpose as we used it for smaller dinners and sleeping.
Bigger dinners would require you to buy many spices and such as there was absolutely nothing available. The walk to town (approx.. 1km) was all downhill making the journey back a good work-out :).
Wimdu was great, except the property manager (key-holder) did not speak English so it was difficult understanding about the apartment when we first got there.
An accommodation beneath contempt . Dirty , leaky shower stall , broken lamps and contacts that did not work . Wifi only worked if you sat out in the yard . We had ants in the kitchen and bathroom.
Fee for cleaning, towels and sheets.
To pay for cleaning when the apartment was so dirty known very irritant . Smaller service oriented staff made it known not worthwhile to go and complain. Would never recommend this accommodation !
It was a wonderful week in a beautiful place with extraordinary hosts. The fresh vegetables, the fantastic view and a flat with everything you need, made it a week to remember!
Thank you so much!
Very nice, pieceful and relaxing house.
We really enjoyed the large rooms and terasses outdoor. It is great to have realy furniture inside and outside.
The house is big and especially with a great view but:
- There're no curtains or shutters on the windows
- The sheets are minimal (and not optional)
- The house was quite dirty despite the payment for the cleaning
- The manager of the property accused me to stole one (1) pillowcase the day after we left. The pillowcase has been obviously found after a while, it was left behind during the collecting.
I've enjoyed my stay in Stintino for the sea, the nature, the landscape, but, for a short stay of 4 days, too many thing that didn't work out with the house.

Federated Farmers' is expanding its highly successful Leadership Development Programme for members and others in primary industries.
Many agricultural sector leaders have been through the Federation's stage one and two Leadership Courses. These give individuals vital skills to work in teams and understand the technical, emotive, cultural and political aspects of issues.
The level one Getting Your Feet Wet and level two Shining Under the Spotlight courses give participants the techniques and methods to analyse and bring together a compelling case to present their desired outcomes.
Generally, participants are more at home working with animals and machinery, but the courses give them the confidence to speak publicly and represent themselves and their industries effectively at the highest levels of governance.
Many participants may initially think, "Oh crap, I have to stand up in front of all these people and present a clear, concise case", but that makes it more rewarding to see them grow in confidence.
Federated Farmers, with the help of Dairy NZ, the Agricultural and Marketing Research and Development Trust (AGMARDT) and Beef + Lamb NZ, is designing an additional leadership programme to develop the Federation's capability to positively advocate for workable and sustainable outcomes for the farming sector.
The initial target audience is Federated Farmers' provincial presidents and executives who are engaged with the many territorial local government decision making processes.
The course aims to increase their effectiveness in the collaborative decision-making processes - particularly on the Resource Management Act, Emissions Trading Scheme and the Land and Water Forum.
This programme focuses on Building Collaborative Advocacy Skills, specifically:
Negotiating agreement and managing conflict
Integrating technical and scientific information
Communicating effectively
Applying analytic skills and strategic thinking.
All courses are tailored to target the specific development needs of farming leaders. They recognise the predominantly pragmatic culture, the volunteer nature of the roles, tensions on time and energy faced and the passion and emotional commitment these issues raise for farmers as decisions can have a significant impact.

Bob Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, said, "What they are talking about is fairly significant. It represents real progress, it's not just a symbolic downpayment. But it also isn't the Grand Bargain we need.
"The package they are talking about is big enough that it will require both parties to use real political capital to push it through Congress. But unfortunately, it's not big enough to solve our deficit problem. I'm afraid the leadership will be so worn down getting this through Congress they won't be able to follow this up with additional deficit reduction packages," he said.
A report released this week by eight U.S. think tanks that hosted four "Strengthening of America" fiscal forums this fall argues the U.S. faces a huge fiscal challenge that will take years of disciplined and purposeful work to address.
"It is almost certain that no plan enacted this month will be large enough or comprehensive enough to put the federal budget on a sustainable path. At best, it will be a 'down payment' on further deficit reduction. While this would be preferable to the alternative, we must not try to avoid near-term distress by courting long-term catastrophe," it says.
The report argues that policymakers should achieve at least $4 trillion in savings from a realistic baseline this year.

Two-part question to Emmylou and Rodney: What took you so long (they've been musical pals for almost four decades) and why songs - albeit good ones - mostly from back-catalogues?
Longtime fans of Harris - who rightly applauded her exceptional concert here last year - will embrace this and forgive her that throat-catch breathy vocal inflection (which becomes damn irritating after a while), and enjoy her version of the ballad Spanish Dancer. But it's Crowell's burned-edge vocals and ability to inhabit a lyric (the careworn Open Season on My Heart with Harris in perfect synergy) where the real oil lies. The broody low 'n' sultry swing of Black Caffeine is kinda cool (although it must have come easy for such seasoned friends) but attention here alights on slow songs where Crowell leads (Dreaming My Dreams impinged by Harris' vocal inflection) and less so the country-rockers. Harris delivers on Matraca Berg's achingly wistful and nostalgic Back When We Were Beautiful and the title track is a polished rhinestone, but mostly this makes you yearn for a new Crowell album (and a new Emmylou, if it isn't too polite). Beautifully played, pleasant and professional stopgap only occasionally offering the best from either artist.
Stars: 3.5/5
Verdict: Long overdue but often short-changing collaboration

Supporting efforts to improve student achievement through the use of technology
Under current and prior incarnations of the the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), Congress granted the U.S. Department of Education specific responsibility to support states and school districts to improve student academic achievement through the use of technology. In 2010, the Obama Administration released its blueprint for the reauthorization of ESEA and in parallel ceased requesting federal budget support for educational technology programs in continuous operation since 1994. In that same year, the U.S. Department of Education made grants under the Race to the Top Assessment program to assist states in developing next generation assessments in grades 3 through 12 in mathematics and English language arts to be delivered online and administered via computer. The U.S. Department of Education continues to advocate for the effective use of technology in education through the Office of Educational Technology; as a priority in select competitive grant programs, including for students with disabilities; as a mechanism to collect and share data to inform decisionmaking; and in research and evaluation activities.
Select U.S. Department of Education Initiatives and Resources
- The Office of Educational Technology (OET), in the Office of the Secretary, provides leadership for transforming education through the power of technology.
- The Obama administration blueprint for revising the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) was released in March 2010.
- In September 2010, the Race to the Top Assessment Program provided initial funding to consortia of states to develop next generation assessments, including a requirement that states 'use technology to its maximum extent to develop, administer, and score assessments and report assessment results.'
- The U.S. Department of Education's national education technology plan, Transforming American Education: Learning Powered by Technology – which presents goals and recommendations for states, districts, the federal government, and other stakeholders – was released by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan at the SETDA Leadership Summit in November 2010.
The Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT) Program
The Enhancing Education Through Technology state educational technology grants program (Title II, Part D, of ESEA) was the U.S. Department of Education's only program dedicated to the integration of educational technology in K-12 schools. At the request of the Obama Administration, Congress defunded the program beginning with federal fiscal year 2011.
EETT explicitly supported the broad goals of ESEA through the use of technology in schools and had three primary goals: (1) to improve student academic achievement in elementary and secondary schools through the use of educational technology; (2) to assist every student in crossing the digital divide by ensuring that every student is technologically literate by the time the student finishes the eighth grade, regardless of the student's race, ethnicity, gender, family income, geographic location, or disability; and (3) to encourage the effective integration of technology resources and systems with teacher training and curriculum development to establish research-based instructional methods that can be widely implemented as best practices by state education agencies and local education agencies.
SETDA and its members undertook the creation of annual reports from 2004-2012 on national trends in the use of funds appropriated to the program. The supplemental investment in the program through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was covered in a special SETDA report, as well as in select case studies prepared by SETDA on the use and impact of funds drawn from 28 states.
For access to all of SETDA's National Trends and related reports on the implementation of the EETT state educational technology grants program, visit the Resource section and filter by "Federal Program Implementation".

text: That's a bunch of b/s if you ask me. They should ask if they have a car to transport the kids to the hospital in, then sit them down and tell them how dangerous it can be to drive in a car. Then ask them if they have electricity running through their houses, and tell them how dangerous it could be if you stuck your finger in a socket. If you have children you just need to have your guns locked up and keep the keys close to you, or don't let them know the combination to the lock. Even if you don't have children in the house keep them locked up. Keep the gun you use for personal protection out of the safe, just make sure you know where it is at all times and lock it up if you leave home without it. Every gun I have is safely locked away except for my carry gun which never leaves my sight.

Stop the WTO negotiations! Save jobs!
The Doha Development Round: a recipe for the massive destruction of livelihoods, mass unemployment and the degradation of work
Statement, December 2005
www.world-psi.org/wtoandjobs [1]
When the world's trade ministers put their signatures to the founding document of the WTO in April 1994 in Marrakesh, their very first sentence establishing the WTO committed them to raising standards of living, ensuring full employment and a large and steadily growing volume of real income…
Has the Marrakesh miracle materialized? Are employment and livelihoods ensured and steadily growing? No. The WTO's trade and investment rules have taken the world in the opposite direction, and the current negotiations threaten to take us further still.
After ten years under the WTO, unemployment has climbed around the world. The quality of existing employment has often fallen, with an increase in dirty, dangerous and degrading work. Much of that employment is precarious. In fact, many more people are being driven into the informal, unprotected and unregulated economy from both the formal economy and from the devastated livelihoods of peasant and family farming. In transnational corporations (TNCs) many employees increasingly find themselves in a casualised, precarious relationship with the companies they produce for but no longer work for, as many TNCs attempt to distance themselves from responsibility for labour relations based on direct employment by, for example, outsourcing. Many people around the world – workers, women, rural producers – and even entire countries have been forced to give up hope in employment as a means to development and empowerment.
Ten years later, we are in the middle of the so-called Doha Development Round. Have the lessons been learned? Are the trade negotiators offering solutions to address this massive failure? Not a chance. Look at the three main areas of trade negotiations – agriculture, non-agricultural goods and services.
Increased liberalization of trade in agricultural products over the past decade was supposed to bring benefits to all. The only winners were the global agri-food TNCs. These TNCs are driving the overproduction and export of food crops from a handful of producer countries, driving down prices and eliminating millions of jobs, fueling the massive migration of agricultural workers, peasants and family farmers from the countryside and sending waves of dispossessed people into already overcrowded cities or abroad, where they lack the most basic protection of their rights. The WTO's systematic promotion of intensive export-oriented agriculture through the forcing open of markets has intensified reliance on the exploitation of vulnerable seasonal and migrant workers in the world's richest countries as family farming disappears, while the most socially and environmentally destructive corporate production methods are encouraged and even subsidized.
For developing countries, "diversification" into flowers and "niche" products is being promoted as a solution to the collapse of agricultural commodity prices. In the global countryside, there is more unemployment, more hunger, more food insecurity. Those who help to feed the world are increasingly unable to feed themselves. Despite the urgent need for action on the systemic global crisis in agriculture, the real issues are not on the WTO agenda. And the proposed "breakthroughs" on offer in the preparations for Hong Kong, in which agriculture is used as a bargaining chip for corporate gains in services and the non-agricultural market negotiations (NAMA), threaten to aggravate the situation, taking us further from the rational management of agricultural resources for the satisfaction of human needs rather than corporate profit.
The NAMA negotiations will have a similar effect in developing countries for industrial, fisheries and forestry products. These countries are being pressured to significantly reduce their tariffs on these goods.. Whilst this may lower the costs for these goods, it will often be at the expense of current and future employment. Fisheries and forests provide livelihoods and essential nutrition and medicines for millions of people across the world. Ninety percent of fishers worldwide – nearly 40 million people – are employed in small-scale artisanal fishing and these men and women are overwhelmingly impoverished. A further 13 million are employed in the formal forestry sector and more than 1.6 billion depend on forests for their livelihoods (collecting fuel-wood, medicinal plants and foods, for example). WTO proposals to fully eliminate tariffs in both of these sectors could have extremely serious consequences for these people, both through loss of access to and through the destruction of the natural resources on which they traditionally depend.
The proposed tariff reductions would increase incentives internationally, especially for large commercial trawlers, to fish using highly destructive methods, which would fuel the continued exploitation of an already seriously depleted resource. Local fishers and poor fishing communities would increasingly suffer the impact of dying seas, as large commercial fleets take many of the highest quality fish. There is also a risk of cheap fish imports being dumped in coastal nations with a strong domestic market, making it impossible for fishers to sell their catch locally. Similarly, in the forest sector, even an impact assessment prepared for the European Commission states that developing countries with forest industries protected by high tariffs could "incur considerable environmental and social costs due to downsizing of the industrial capacity and closing some industries entirely."
If cheap imports flood countries with weak industrial sectors, these industries will be wiped out, causing higher unemployment. In countries where such industries are yet to be established, these imports will prevent the development of the kinds of sustainable industrial employment that is often the route to development. Current negotiations will deliver neither decent employment nor development and may cause massive unemployment and the destruction of existing livelihoods, while depriving governments of much-needed tariff revenues. If some employment does eventuate in a few developing countries from this process, this will largely be at the expense of jobs in the more expensive developed countries. But developing countries as well are increasingly competing against each other (as in the textiles sector). Most of these jobs will certainly be low-paid and insecure.
Are services the magic recipe for employment creation? This is the fastest-growing employment sector. The services negotiations depend on governments privatising, outsourcing or otherwise liberalising their services sectors as a basis for being able to make irreversible commitments under the GATS. None of these measures has a good record in terms of employment: people either lose jobs or have insecure, lower quality and low-paid jobs. Many multinational enterprises are footloose and have a history of quitting as soon as profits slow down or dry up, leaving service workers stranded, competing for more hamburger-flipper or call-centre jobs. Neo-liberals argue that 100 jobs shifting from A to B are still 100 jobs but if they go down by ten with each shift of operations and the security and quality of the jobs go down a vicious spiral, then decent employment goes down the plug-hole.
Jobs are also an integral part of the services negotiations. Under the Mode 4 discussions on the movement of people from one country to another to provide services on a temporary basis, not only will many of those workers be subject to low wages and poor conditions, but their home countries are often going to lose valuable skills – the output of expensive local training programmes – to the North in a brain drain that sees the South subsidise the North for its own unwillingness to provide decent wages and conditions that would keep Northern nurses and teachers in their health and education systems. Mode 4 negotiations simply accept the 'inevitability' of mass unemployment in developing countries. The WTO has no mandate to deal with the labour and migration issues raised by Mode 4 negotiations, which should not be part of the GATS. Rather, we believe that longer-term, more secure and rights-based migration programmes are essential.
The current trade->growth->development paradigm is a failure, as even World Bank, IMF and OECD data is beginning to acknowledge. More trade can, under certain circumstances, create growth. Yet we must always ask: what kind of growth; growth for whom? Today it is jobless growth, a phenomenon widely known across the globe. Trade and domestic growth statistics today are meaningless indicators of true national wealth (though they do indicate corporate wealth!), the well being of the people of a country. What ultimately counts is the kind of growth and the pattern of development these statistics describe and whether that pattern tells us that farmers and workers are on the way to obtaining decent incomes and decent working conditions and livelihoods or whether, on the contrary, they can look forward to the continued growth of poverty and insecurity.
The proposals to further liberalize agriculture, industrial production and services will lead to an immense new wave of unemployment and the worsening of existing jobs and livelihoods in developed as well as developing countries at the expense of the profits of a few transnational corporations.
This programme for the massive destruction of jobs needs to be stopped.
The undersigned trade union and civil society organisations call on WTO members to:
- put a moratorium on the present negotiations; and
- undertake full public assessments of the employment, social, environmental and cultural impacts of existing trade and investment rules.
The rules governing international trade and investment must be judged according to a single criterion: do they generate progress in the direction of socially and environmentally sustainable economic growth, social progress and greater wellbeing for all? Or do they take us in the opposite direction, towards social and environmental destruction and massive migration and global insecurity? The verdict is certainly in on the first ten years of the WTO. It is time to change course.

When Can Children Walk to School Alone?
Yummy Mummy Club | Posted 02.09.2013 | Canada Living

Often, the choice of whether or not to allow a child to walk to school unaccompanied is fraught with fears of injury or worse. When our generation was school-aged, parents didn't seem to worry about our physical safety as much as we worry about our kids' today. When is a child ready to walk to school unaccompanied?

Town Square
Prop. A1 >>>> 170 million dollar theft
Original post made by mooseturd, Pleasanton Valley, on Sep 30, 2012
Proposition A1 is an arrogant attempt to divert public money to a private (non-profit) organization. You see the cutsy signs going up on lawns. The Zoo appears to be spending some of the $1 million war chest they accumulated last year to buy a 25-year theft of your money. If the Zoo can do this, why not the Boy Scouts? OR, Hosterman's election campaign?
If we defeat a parcel tax for the education of our children and pass one to fund expansion of the zoo into more of Knowland Park, I despair at the ignorance of Pleasanton.
What the Oakland Zoo should be doing if they have a funds problem is laying off staff and eliminating exhibits just like our school, fire departments, police and families are doing throughout the county.
Where do I get $171 million? If A1 passes, the Zoo will rake in a million a month. With that income you can pay off a 25 year loan of 171 million. That is $171,000,000.00!
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Oct 2, 2012 at 11:45 am
R.Tomson is a registered user.
I have read the actual text of Prop. A1. It will not receive my vote.
While I believe that the general stated intent, on the surface, sounds worthy (providing proper care and maintenance for the animals in the zoo), the actual written proposition is nothing more that an attempt to legalize a taxing of the people by a private company. This is wrong and I will not support it.
It is however not surprising, that special interest supported politicians and other civic leaders would attempt such a blatant money grab from the citizens. The groundwork has been laid in the courts and our own federal government set the precedence.
Our highest court has made two rulings to lay this foundation.
Ruling 1: Corporations are allowed to use their resources to persuade and change our government, with the same rights and constitutional protections, as granted to every citizen of the United States. Said another way, Corporations are the same as Citizens.
Ruling 2: Individual citizens can be compelled by the government to contribute to the economic welfare of the United States, either by direct taxation or through commercial enterprise. Said another way, you can be forced to spend your money, with a corporation, or face a tax punishment from the government if you fail to do so.
Given these rulings, why wouldn't Oakland's private Zoo Management Corporation, pressure city and county officials (officials that they can either choose to support or not to support in any election bid) into placing on the ballot a new Private Tax, to be given to a Private Corporation. Prior to the high court rulings this would have been unthinkable. Corporations would never have been allowed to attempt to Tax the people directly, to keep the money for themselves, and to be the sole authority over the tax. Our courts have not helped us. We see here the resulting attempt to establish authority Of the Corporation, By the Corporation, For the Corporation. I for one reject such a notion and shall campaign against it. I would encourage you to do the same.
There is a great difference in taxing the people, and subsequently using those taxes to promote industry in our country. We as a people agree to use this as a method for improvement in the country, for all of our benefit. And we the people can effect how this is done, through our elected officials. This is not the same as establishing a Corporation as a sole taxing authority that has no responsibility to the people. One that can not be removed directly by the people.
Take a moment an actually read the proposition. Go through the Pro and Con statements. They can be a nice summary, albeit extremely slanted towards the viewpoint that the author wants your to take. But read the actual text and the truth will become clear.
Here are the primary results of this proposition that I object to:
1. The Oakland Zoo, while it may be an attraction in the general area, remains the City of Oakland's Zoo. As such it is the City of Oakland's responsibility to finance and maintain their property. If I attend the Zoo, I am charged a fee. I have no objection to paying an entrance fee. It seems right and a good way to support the Zoo, when I choose. I object to being forced to pay a Tax, for a Zoo in a city in which I do not live. I see no difference here than if the City of San Francisco wanted a parcel tax from the citizens of the surrounding counties in the Bay Area because it's a popular destination attraction. I say No.
2. We the citizens will be forced to pay a tax to a private corporation. Not to a government, but to a private corporation. While the county Tax Assessor will collect the tax, the money (minus county expenses) will be turned over to the corporation for their exclusive use. I pay tax and tribute to my government, for the mutual benefit of my family and others in our society. However, I will be the only person to decide which corporation I want to do business with, or not.
3. While the proposition provides a specific statement as to the general uses that this tax will support, the law would not obligate the Private Corporation to actually use the money for those actual purposes. It is natural that people want to assume that any monies will be used for the good things that they themselves would want. The proposition text speaks to that ideal, but does not obligate spending to any one ideal at all. They could simply pay most of it to Salaries and Benefits for themselves, while spending a reduced amount on the listed ideals, without violating the law. I object and will not support establishing such an entity.
4. The proposition would allow exemptions from paying the tax, by certain people (e.g. elderly) or under specific conditions (e.g. undeveloped or unoccupied property). However, as an individual you would have to apply directly to the Private Corporation for their approval to exempt the tax. You as an individual would have to make the application to the Private Corporation every year. If there is any dispute over this issue, you can only appeal to the Private Corporation for their consideration. The county government will not help you. The Tax Assessor will not be able to help you. The Private Corporation is the entity authorized to decide the matter, either in your favor, or their favor. It's up to them.
5. With this Private Tax Proposition, there is no elected official, who is responsible to the people for this tax. There will be no one person who can be removed from office if they fail to enact the will of the people. There will be no one person responsible to the people nor have authority over the accounting of the expenditure of this tax. This is not government.
This is important. I encourage you to take the time to consider what will be established by this proposition. Consider the groundbreaking authority and precedence that will be turned over to a private corporation.
And if this proposition is successful, consider that this will only be the start of a flood of similar propositions. All for good reasons of course, but all with the same financial aim. Steady funding, to pay for and support the activities of a Private Corporation, be it for profit, not for profit, charity, legitimate or not so much. This could overwhelm us and completely change our ideal of self government.

Angelina Knoll, a bilingual elementary education exchange student from Germany, studied at Lesley to learn about the American way of teaching.
University enjoys exchange relationships with universities around the world, such as the University of Education in Freiburg,Germany (UEF). Because of a shared commitment to teacher education, UEF and Lesley established an exchange agreement to give students from both institutions the opportunity to study internationally to build a global
perspective into their academic training. Since 2010, three UEF students have studied at Lesley and one Lesley student spent a year at UEF.
Lesley hosted Angelina Knoll from UEF during the spring 2014. Each
of the courses Angelina took at Lesley addressed her interest in integrating a global aspect into her understanding of educational pedagogy. In Introduction to Communication, Angelina
studied how human beings interact in various cultural settings. Teaching Language Arts and
Literature allowed her to see "how educators teach
writing and reading in a multicultural society like America. This was useful for me as a future English teacher in Germany." Angelina also
remarked on the strong impact the material presented in Characteristics of Children & Youth with Special Needs had on
her understanding of the importance and challenges around disabled children and
young adults' full participation in school and society.
In her field placement
at the Graham and Parks Elementary School in Cambridge, Angelina learned a lot about classroom management and
had the chance to practice teaching in an English-speaking classroom. Her kindergarten students exhibited curiosity about Germany and the German language, so
Angelina and her field supervisor introduced a project about Continents and Countries
with a focus on Germany. Angelina planned and delivered lessons around German fairy tales and songs, and taught the students how to count in German. She was delighted to see the students engaged and eager to learn
more about Germany and other countries as well as talk about
their own home countries.
UEF students have very positive experiences at Lesley, and we promise the same to Lesley students who study with us. UEF's student population is very international, and Freiburg is in close proximity to France, Italy and Switzerland, ensuring Lesley students a very good global experience at UEF.

UPDATED** Q&A with the Naughty Dog Development Team: April Edition **[ Edited ]
Welcome to the April Edition of this monthly Q&A thread!
If you have some questions that you would like to ask Naughty Dog then here is your opportunity to ask them!
Up until about the 10th of April you will be able to post your questions regarding the Uncharted 3 multiplayer experience here in this thread. Usually 10 questions from this thread will be selected and answered by the Naughty Dog Development Team.
Once the replies are ready they will be posted in this thread for your perusal. What would you like to ask Naughty Dog this month?
If your reply contains more than one question or if you post multiple replies in a row then Naughty Dog may ignore your questions.
1- Question: Can you please nerf hipfire and remove the whack and roll glitch in this game, isn't 140+ kudo's enough to make you realise that this really should happen, I know it's probably too late now because you ignored it for so long, so if the answer is no, can you please say that you will look into it for future Naughty Dog titles with competitive multiplayer?" - Matthijs_17
A: Due to game mechanics and animation – the whack and roll is a legitimate strategy that we accounted for when wrapping up game balance and MP development. As for hipfire, we appreciate you rallying support around this topic. It is something we will need some time to look at as it's not a quick fix. To address anything with hipfire we'd need to tweak hipfire for every weapon in the game so proper balance occurs again. It will take some time and likely will be something we'll have to look more closely at for future projects. However, it's on the list of things we'd like to address time and resource permitting
2- Are there any chances of us ever getting that 3v3v3 3TDM Lab? It was supposed to happen months ago back in November, and it got replaced with a random Hammer Team Objective Lab, and it never showed up since. It was my (And quite a few others) most anticipated lab, and it would really suck if it never happened." – Orochidude
A: Unfortunately we didn't know this until after we originally announced 3v3v3 3TDM Lab. Updating the scoreboard backend is not possible now.
3- "After Patch 1.15 the spawn points have been a little awry, will this ever be addressed in a patch? Village's spawn points are already bad enough especially when playing objective. You can spawn right next to both hill 1 & 3, but it also is very easy to spawn kill at Syria as well since you spawn in a wide open area. And I'm sure I'm not the only person who keeps spawning in front of that one guy trekking around the map. With a Sas." - Quizen8
A: We evaluate these on a case-by-case basis as they come up as problematic or not. If you can post up a video or direct message us some very specific footage of what the problem re-spawn points are and mention why they are issues then we can more readily address these.
4- "Would you guys consider altering Shade Survival treasure drop odds to be the same as Hunter Arena?" - IVIaster_ZED
A: We will be having rare treasure drop weekends that address these concerns from time to time. Also Shade Survival mode is a hardcore mode so it's meant to be a good challenge.
5- Can you tweak the turn radius for sprinting to near the level of summer beta's? Along with some explanation for your response?" - B_Smiley
A: At this point we'd never want to revert back to our beta settings. It would mean undergoing a system wide rebalancing effort with all of the updates we've made so far. We can move only move forward based upon where the game stands now, and changing the turn spring turn radius is not something we have planned. We built Uncharted 3 MP to be a fast paced game. We're happy with how the turning and movement is paced.
6- "Will you guys ever fix/address party splits?" – Sitrongr
A: These are cases that are difficult to reproduce in our testing environments, so we haven't been able to reliably address all of the party splits you may have run into. What would help us is to continue to give us detailed step-by-step information on what was happening when the party gets split to address this specifically. This would be information like "I was in a party and I backed out to this menu to select a new loadout and the host went into this menu to change the color of his head item and then we split. Then I went and made a PB&J sandwich." Very detailed and specific like that – we'll continue looking into this with the information we've been gathering
7- "Are there any more patches in store for Uncharted 3? I'm guessing no." – beat_da_beast
A: But you're guessing! We're really pushing the capabilities of the PS3 and the limits of our code for MP to the edge at this point, but we always want to try to see how far we can go. We plan to see what we can fix and what we might be able to be tweak yet time and resource permitting. We might, just maybe, even have something we cut added to the game if everything works out.
8- "Any plans for a "Best of The Lab" type of event as in you push out the best labs and lab maps into the lab game mode?" - tack129
A: Absolutely. We'll continue to explore Labs as time matches along. To make something like this happen we'd need to potentially set up two polls. For instance, one for favorite Block Mesh Maps and one for favorite Game types in the Lab would have to happen. Then we can do best of labs. Let us get out our entire list of Block Mesh Maps first, cool? We'll start rolling out more over the coming months.
9- "When you get the lab schedule organized (with the delay to Mid-May thing) can you update the calendar on the multiplayer portion of your site (HERE) with every lab event correctly (correct dates and if there is more than one game type (ie. more than one Block Mesh Map, or more than one mode variant))? It would be nice to know what we can expect to see in the coming weeks for the Lab playlist." - canadian94eh
A: We've updated this now. It's meant to show what you can expect coming up and the date at which you can expect that Lab to be live.
10- "Are you ever going to fix the bug where everything unlockable gets highlighted randomly? It's pretty annoying to see that exclamation mark everywhere." - tln_SWE
A: Very uncommon for this to happen and this is something we'd need an exact reproduction case – step-by-step details - of how it happened to address in a meaningful way.
Bonus Question:
"If you had to pick a forum member to work for ND who would it be?" - munnsy1
A: It's really tough to say without knowing what kind of development experience and work each member would be capable of. We give a pretty extensive and specific-to-a-discipline test prior to hiring everyone who works here. We expect our employees to perform at a very high caliber to make our games the best possible quality at all times. Open constructive criticism and heavy collaboration is very much encouraged here so we'd look for these attributes as well. Read our HR blog about how to get a job at ND!

Re: ** Q&A with the Naughty Dog Development Team: April Edition **[ Edited ]
Dear Naughty Dog,
My off-topic question: Is Uncharted 4 going to be announced at E3? At the very least can you confirm a new Uncharted for next-gen consoles?
On topic: Are there any more patches in store for Uncharted 3? I'm guessing no.
I gotta go to Cali!
Re: ** Q&A with the Naughty Dog Development Team: April Edition **
Re: ** Q&A with the Naughty Dog Development Team: April Edition **
ND, If over 95% of Uncharted's most loyal players say that ROF and Blindfire need a fix, why do you continue to ignore us?
Re: ** Q&A with the Naughty Dog Development Team: April Edition **
Q: Would you guys consider altering Shade Survival treasure drop odds to be the same as Hunter Arena?
For clarity's sake:
I'm not talking about the rate at which pickups drop from enemies, I'm talking about the odds of a particular treasure in any given set dropping. In Arena and Shade Survival, you usually see the first and middle treasures in any given set when a treasure is picked up, while the odds for the last treasure in a set to appear are terribly rare, to the point that Co-op treasure weekends are virtually useless to players seeking to earn the Collector and Hoarder trophies in these two modes.
In Hunter, that last treasure is MUCH more common; you probably get a final treasure somewhere around 30-40% of the time when something drops from an enemy before taking the effects of a treasure weekend into account. OTOH, many Co-op players dislike/hate that mode, and won't touch it for various reasons even though they know full well Hunter is practically their only hope.
If Shade Survival's drop odds are changed to be the same as Hunter's, many of these people would finally have a shot at those two trophies, particularly those who hate competing against other players to begin with. You guys would also potentially make more money off of it since Shade Survival is DLC. I don't see how this isn't a win/win since Hunter probably doesn't generate any revenue.
Re: ** Q&A with the Naughty Dog Development Team: April Edition **
In one of your replies you told the community that the ranks in the picture below were fake. Then how come that the 4th legacy badge wasn't fake? I mean the badge in the game looks EXACTLY like the one in this fan made picture.
I don't really care for more levels I just want to know.
(Saw it in another thread not that long ago, thought it was a good question)
Re: ** Q&A with the Naughty Dog Development Team: April Edition **
1st and fourth legacy badge match up almost perfectly to the real thing... hmmm.
I gotta go to Cali!
Re: ** Q&A with the Naughty Dog Development Team: April Edition **[ Edited ]
I agree with Zed, I spent a good amount of money on Shade Survival and was very dissapointed. I was at least hoping for rare or new treasure drops but this wasn't the case.
I also bought Fort, at least expecting new weapons or new treasures but also didn't happen.
At the very least you could give rarer treasure drops to people who spent the money on the co-op DLC. I mean I probably spent 30 minutes on Shade Survival trying to earn the trophy but realizing the mode was so bad I couldn't bare to play it and didn't want the trophy anymore.
And yes, Shade Survival mode is that bad. Ask anyone.
I gotta go to Cali!
Re: ** Q&A with the Naughty Dog Development Team: April Edition **
Last month you said there were more the two ND employees working on UC3, within the last five months, how many people have worked on this game? (If you can give names that would be good too)
Any hints as to what this gem is you said to have dug up? Is it a Map? Skin? Booster? Kickback? Gun? Mode? (Don't answer this if we already know the answer before this Q&A is over)
Is the money from UC3 DLC going into UC3, TLOU, a future project, or your own pockets? I thought the UC3 DLC would be getting better if the money was being invested back into the same game. Okay maybe this one is slightly sarcastic.
And here's an easy one for you...
Who has the most Tau kills of them all?

Man who stole elderly woman's purse, led police on chase sentenced in court
BOZEMAN, Mont. - A Washington man who snatched an elderly woman's purse, then led police on a high speed chase with his accomplice was sentenced to six months in jail Tuesday.
Last July, police arrested Washington men Kenneth Lohman and Joshua Bolton after the two reportedly stole the woman's purse, and knocked her to the ground in the Belgrade Albertson's parking lot.
According to court documents, the woman tried to get her purse back but they sped off.
Police say they caught up with the car near Three Forks and attempted to pull the men over, but the men fled.
Court reports state police chased the car down I-90, with the car crossing over and driving on the wrong side of the interstate at one point.
Highway troopers later found the car off of the highway. They say Lohman and a juvenile female who was in the car with them surrendered.
But they say Bolton fled on foot, and they found him hiding under a nearby house.
Police charged both men with robbery.
On February 1st, a jury found Lohman guilty of a misdemeanor theft charge.
Judge Holly Brown sentenced him to six months in jail, with credit for time served.

Today we use our mobile phones for just about everything, so it is no surprise that the number of mobile banking users has doubled over the last three years.1
Most banks have worked to make it easy by optimizing their websites for mobile devices, allowing you to check your account and make payments and transfers on the go. But while a number of mobile users find this incredibly convenient, they are still in the minority, representing around 12% of online adults. 2
What about the rest? Studies have shown that the number-one concern for mobile users is a perceived lack of mobile security and Internet safety, and many avoid mobile banking for this reason. This perception is actually slowing the rate of mobile banking adoption, according to Javelin Strategy & Research.
Consumers' concerns over mobile banking and mobile security are understandable. Not only do users face mobile browser threats, but there has also been a rise in dangerous applications. Some users have even received text messages from scammers pretending to be their bank and asking for personal information, which has caused further hesitation.
Losing your mobile phone or tablet is another concern when it comes to online banking. If your online banking sites are set to automatically log you in, a thief could potentially access your account and make unauthorized transfers and payments.
Although these threats are real, the truth is that the banks are doing their part to make mobile transactions safer by offering multifactor login procedures that reduce the chance that a thief can guess your login information, and by using encryption that ensures that your sensitive information cannot be read if it is intercepted.
And, there are a number of steps that you can take to protect yourself while still enjoying the convenience of mobile banking. Here are a few:
In case something does go wrong, you should also know how to alert your bank to fraud. Look for specific instructions on their website and have their number handy in case you need it.

Escape Artist
This morning we talked about Anthony Martin, an escape artist who this week freed himself from shackles and a locked casket after being pushed out of a plane at 14,000 feet. What most accounts of this story don't tell you is that Anthony has been a Christian since childhood, and uses his escapes as a metaphor for escaping death through eternal life in Jesus Christ. He details his life and ministry in a new book called Escape Or Die. Learn more at Anthony-Escapes.com.

Stylewise: Americana Revolution
We look into the future, and what do we see? A throwback to blue-collar Americana, all denim and tees, a la James Dean.
The Looper Lifestyle, which we've shown facets of in travel, nightlife, cars and tech, is both forward thinking and rooted in the past. Like the protagonists themselves — future and past versions of the same man, an assassin caught in his own crosshairs — the lifestyle portrayed, though set 30 years in the future, bridges the gap between generations, combining aspects of each. This is nowhere more evident than in the characters' fashion, a style that finds its shape and structure in 1950s Americana, but with slick threads of a decidedly '80s aesthetic woven into its fabric. The look reads James Dean with a post-punk sheen, mostly function with a wash of fashion, and we like it. And we think you will, too, so we threw together this guide to help you cop an autumn look we've already taken the fall for. From the top down…
Outerwear: Night & Day
The biker jacket is another classic, one which reads the polar opposite of conservative and clean. Whether you're a professional assassin or just a ladykiller, throw on some good leather and your badass quotient goes up tenfold instantly. Unlike the Harrington, the biker jacket is perfect for reinterpretation. This one by Balmain references the original look through an '80s-glam lens, a hard piece that's almost liquid in appearance. For the kill. Buy it here $3900
The Harrington jacket is a clear link to 1950s Americana; everyone from Elvis to Marlon Brando has sported the style. With its clean lines and conservative cut, it's a look so classic it never needed updating. Cut slim through the arms and chest, this sharp specimen, the Windcheater from Gant, is rendered in crisp cotton and ideal for anything A.M., from work lunch to weekend brunch. Buy it here $300
Top: Tees
The T-shirt as a main act (as opposed to a supporting role as an undershirt) can go one of two ways: sloppy or classic cool. Knowing how to achieve the latter is a matter of cut and material. The look we're going for is cool but a little rigid; soften it up a little with a tee that fits perfectly across the chest and shoulders but cuts loose elsewhere. An Alexander Wang shirt is guaranteed to hit the mark in wide-angle and in the detail shots, made from luxe material that brings sophistication to an otherwise laid-back look.
Buy it here $100
Bottom: Denim
The best pair of jeans you can buy will cost you less than anything else on this page. You don't want flash or overwrought details, you want quality denim, a slim cut and solid construction. True classics — first made in the 1890s and once the world's best-selling article of clothing — Levi's 501s are casual by nature but trim enough to be worn smart and cool. That James Dean himself probably wore them is just icing.
Buy them here $70
Feet: Boots
The Looper lifestyle requires that its adherents be ready for combat at any moment. And that means a solid boot that'll withstand anything. Dr. Martens' Pier boot in black leather gets rid of the brand's trademark chunky rubber sole for a cleaner look, with a cap toe that brings the design up to speed. Like work boots of yore with a punk edge.
Buy them here $180
Stay in the Loop
If you deal in time travel, as every Looper does, a sturdy, stylish watch is a necessity. And since it's more gadget than anything, let's get a little futuristic this time around. A statement in black steel and rose gold, this Brera Orologi timepiece is one for the ages. Solid in construction with bold design touches, you'll never miss an appointment with this on your wrist. Like everything here, it's a perfect balance of function and fashion.
Buy it here $750

If you had to pick a compact sedan ENTIRELY based on design and nothing else, what would you pick? Give us your UNBIASED opinion. Even if it hurts you to say it, let's hear it.Mazda Mazda 3Nissan SentraKia ForteFord FocusHyundai ElentraToyota CorollaHonda CivicChevrolet Cruze
======================2014 Toyota Avalon Hybrid2011 Hyundai Genesis2008 Lexus IS2502007 Honda Accord2004 Honda Civic1996 Mercury Sable
pics of redesigned Forte and Sentra are already out.
My personal favorites are the Impreza and Dart.
"There's a lie that all drivers tell themselves -- death is something that happens to other people. That's how you find the courage to get in the car in the first place. But more powerful than even the fear of death itself is the will to win."
Cruze RS for me. IMO it has the best proportions and looks much sharper in person.
either the focus or the dart

It's a tossup between the Focus and the Jetta.LOL @ the Corolla and the Civic...they look pathetic.

I actually really like the look of the civic,its only downfall is the plastic fantastic interior. As long as honda doenst ruin it by putting these stupid reflectors on it

3 and the cruze
The Dart R/T in red and the Cruze RS in red as well!
Hmm, not hard for me to choose. Not hard at all! The new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution - in white, black, or silver. All three colors are absolutely gorgeous!
____________________________1983 Mercedes-Benz 300D-turbo. "Bonnie"
Annnnd . . . there's . . . no . . . Jetta.Oh well, it's only the best selling European import in America. Why would you include it here? (And #6 in sales last month, right behind the Corolla and ahead of the Mazda 3.)In my opinion, based on looks alone:1. Cruze2. Jetta3. Forte4. FocusOr maybe Forte #2, Jetta #3.Corolla is hideous.
Jetta, Cruz, and Focus are decent looking. The rest look like absolute crap. Particularly the Civic, Corolla, and Sentra. Too bad Mazda ruined the 3, cuz the previous gen still looks better than any of these.
Focus and Elantra look the best to me...

Reviews for this host's other properties
Der Empfang war sehr nett. Das Studio-Appartement im 3. OG liegt nicht weit weg von Porta Venezia UBahn. Eigentlich war es eine nette Aufenthalt, es war angemessen ausgestattet aber ich habe den Eindruck, dass es kleiner als 30 m² ist. Ich finde persönlich dieViale Regina Giovanna sehr laut in der Nacht. Der große Kühlschrank hat mir gut gefallen. Milano war super!
The reception was very nice. The studio apartment located on the 3rd floor is not far away from Porta Venezia subway. Actually, it was a nice stay, it was adequately equipped but I have the impression that it is less than 30 m². I personally think that the Viale Regina Giovanna is very noisy at night. I liked the large fridge.Milan was incredible!
The location of the apartment is really convenient. It is a walking distance from Porta Venezia station, supermarket and the shopping boutiques. The apartment and its facilities were satisfactory & the staff were really helpful. Overall, my family is pleased with our stay! Will recommend to anyone especially with family who is looking for accommodation in Milan.
It was a nice appartment and a perfect location by the canal, where you could find different places to eat and drink. It was also near to the subway which gave good possibilities to get around in the City. We did not spend much time in the app. but it was nice and proper and we were good taken care of in right time and prompt answer when arriving. So we give it a high grade and recomend it to other clients.
Thanks Filiberto.
Everything worked out great, clean apartment great location, had a great weekend in Milan, gladly again, grazie di tutto
Alles super geklappt, Wohnung sauber super Lage,ein schönes Wochenende in Mailand gehabt,gerne wieder,grazie di tutto
Staying in Boccaccio 47 was anticipated just great! We have added more of a critical force has seen a lot in the world, but by the friendly reception by an employee of Filiberto, about the handling during the stay and even the willingness by 6 clock on Saturday morning was the key counter back to take simple only top service! The apartment, in the first moment you simply just think WOW what an awesome part. But since we were 4 came shortly on the question whether it is not a bit too small. Of no way! The location is just amazing, the morning of the first day we are right to "Leonardo" to his little cafe is about 600-800m up the road to the castle. The metro station "Conciliazione" is 1 min away from the door and of 1.50 € per trip a cheap means of transportation. If, however, Bock, one is also closed to within 15 minutes on foot and the beginning of the wonderful shopping street in the heart of Milan. All around a good thing this apartment and 100% recommended! Greetings Dani :)
Der Aufenthalt in Boccaccio 47 war vorweg einfach SUPER!! Wir sind zugegeben eher eine kritische Truppe die schon viel in der Welt gesehen hat, aber vom freundlichen Empfang durch ein Mitarbeiter von Filiberto, über das Handling während des Aufenthalts und sogar die Bereitschaft um 6 Uhr den Schlüssel am Samstag morgen wieder entgegen zu nehmen war einfach nur Spitzen Service!!
Zur Wohnung, im ersten Moment denkt man einfach nur WOW was ein geiles Teil. Da wir aber zu 4 waren kam kurz die Frage auf ob sie nicht ein bisschen zu klein ist. Keines wegs!
Die Lage ist einfach nur grandios, am Morgen des ersten Tages sind wir direkt zu "Leonardo" dem sein kleines Café ca.600-800 m die Straße rauf in Richtung Burg ist. Die Metro-Station "Conciliazione" ist 1 min von der Haustüre entfernt und mit 1,50€ pro Fahrt ein günstiges Fortbewegungsmittel. Wenn man jedoch Bock hat, ist man auch in 15 min zu Fuß am schloss und dem Anfang der wunderbaren Shoppingmeile im Herzen von Mailand.
Rundum eine feine Sache dieses Apartment und zu 100% weiterzuempfehlen!
Grüße Dani :)
Small beautiful apartment in a great location in a nice neighborhood. Next to a metro station. Disadvantage: small shower / bath, subway felt in apartment Advantage: location nearby, building, facility neat and very practical, good restaurants nearby, subway next door
Klein mooi appartement op een prima locatie in een mooie wijk. Naast een metrostation.
Nadeel: kleine douche/bad, metro voelbaar in appartement
Voordeel: locatie buurt, gebouw, inrichting netjes en heel praktisch, goede restaurants in de omgeving, metro naast de deur
Wonderfull location in Milaan! Very helpfull, good communication with Filiberto and Marcello. We would love to come back again some day!
Great appartment, really good communication and service from Filiberto and Marcello. Will visit again in the future.
sweet apartment, great area, everything available, nice communication, VERY HAPPY AGAIN!
süße Wohnung, tolle Gegend, alles vorhanden, nette Kommunikation, SEHR GERN WIEDER!
