Reviews of this property
Nos encanto el apartemento mejor ubicacion no podia tener en trastevere. Susana la chica que nos recibio encantadora y nos recomendo varios sitios para cenar buenisimos! Volveria a este apartamento sin dudarlo!!
Rome blijft een heerlijke stad. We waren wel onaangenaam verrast doordat het adres van deze Loft niet bestond! Wimdu geeft Via della Cisterna 20 aan maar dit nummer was in de gehele straat niet te vinden. Davide hebben we nooit gezien en was ook niet bereikbaar op de 2 mobiele nummers die we hadden gekregen (steeds voicemail), we kregen geen reactie op de sms. Bij nummer 22 stond een mevrouw die vroeg of wij voor Suzanna kwamen en zo niet dan kon ze ons ook niet helpen. Uiteindelijk bleek ze (30 minuten later) toch onze sleutel bij zich te hebben. Ondertussen hadden wij al wel het gevoel bedrogen te zijn en waren we aan het rondkijken naar een hotel.
Het is geen Loft maar een kelder. Er was geen WIFI terwijl dit wel bij de specs. stond.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Our family of four adults had a lovely and relaxing stay in Rome at your roof terrace. Accommodations, facilities and staff were excellent. Thank you Alessia and Roberto!
Nice apartment in an excellent location right in the hearth of Rome. We stayed in the apartment for 4 days in september and used the wonderfull roof terrasse alot. It is quite big and has a wonderfull view of the sourrunding roofs.
The apartment is nice, big bathroom and a nice kitchen with everything you need to make your stay confortable.
Make sure to eat at the restaurant in the same house no. 48 it is brilliant.
Booking and checking in went fine. However the communication is a bit confusing as you communicate both with the owner (who I think is Alessi), we were welcomed by an other couple and for questions regarding transport etc. you need to communicate with an agency who were not very responsive.
We were happy with our stay and will stay here again next time we visit Rome.
We enjoyed our stay in Rome. The house was ideally located near Piazza Navona and clean enough. However there were a few disappointments concerning the house. The bedroom has no window and only airconditioning which didn`t cool! The tap in the kitchen is not fixed tot the sink and moves about. And the showerhead in the bathroom is broken with attempts at repair and even a new showerhead in the closet which was the wrong size. Showering was not a pleasant experience! Although Alessia was friendly and immediately answered that they woud repair it, this of course wasn't done during our stay.... (and the fact that it had been repaired before implied that it was already a known problem). The state of the apartment doesn't match the price...
Amazing location, fabulous apartment!
Andrea was excellent at communication and explained everything we needed to know about the apartment.
If you only stay in one place in Rome - stay here. The view of the Pantheon and the entertainment in the square were brilliant. Maybe take some earplugs for the weekend though. You also get a 15% discount at the restaurant right outside the apartment.
Two pairs Rome-lovers have had good days in this apartment. The weather was sunny and warm, and it did even better with balcony (though small) for both morning coffee in the sun and full moon over the Pantheon for ending to the evening !! Important rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens worked OK! The apartment and the access otherwise characterized by being clean and delicate. We live happily there again, and wish urgently to secure us a week next year, at least ... Thanks for us!
To par Roma-elskere har hatt gode dager i denne leiligheten. Været var solfylt og varmt, og det gjorde ekstra godt med balkong( dog liten) til både morgenkaffen i sol og fullmåne over Pantheon for avslutning på kvelden!! Viktige rom som bad og kjøkken fungerte greit! Leiligheten og adkomsten forøvrig bar preg av å være ren og delikat. Vi bor gjerne der igjen, og ønsker snarest å sikre oss en uke til neste år, minst... Tusen takk for oss!
We were quite satisfied until the Kūchenausstattung and the shower head.
The Loft and the location met all our expectations.
Would book again.
Highly recommended is the Vice Shut reader, the only costs about 8 € more than the taxi.
Wir waren ganz zufrieden, bis auf die Kūchenausstattung und den Duschkopf.
Das Loft und die Lage entsprach voll unseren Erwartungen.
Würden wieder buchen.
Sehr empfehlenswert ist der Shutleservice, der nur ca. 8 € mehr als das Taxi kostet.
This apartment was perfect for me and my two friends. Spacious and clean with a rooftop balcony with amazing view over Piazza della Rotonda and Pantheon. With this location, you can walk to all of the cities best sights. The receptionists are also very helpful. Our stay in this apartment definitely enrichened our weekend in Rome!
With its central location very clean quiet apartment in the heart of the old town, ideal for 4 people. Organisation was perfect (pickup transfer everything smoothly.) Would apartment always hire again.
zentral gelegene sehr saubere ruhige Wohnung im Herzen der Altstadt, ideal für 4 Personen. Organisation war optimal (Abholung Übergabe alles reibungslos.) Würden Wohnung jederzeit wieder mieten.

Missoula County Detention Officer accused of filming in changing room at water park
MISSOULA, Mont. - The Missoula County Sheriff's Office has confirmed a detention officer has been suspended while the Sheriff reviews his case.
Michael Gauci allegedly held a camera over a changing room wall at Missoula's Splash Montana Water Park over the weekend, while a woman and her two children were changing into their bathing suits.
The alleged victim and her 16-year old daughter won't soon forget what they say happened to them in the family changing room at Splash Montana. Saturday.
"It dawned on me that somebody was holding it and that it was a red video camera. And so I screamed at him hey a few times," said the victim/mother (she asked that her name not be released.) She said she was facing the camera while her two daughters had their backs to it.
"I looked up at where my mom was looking. I saw the camera. I didn't know what to do. I covered myself up and finished getting dressed and grabbed our stuff and my little sister and went outside," said the 16-year-old daughter.
The victim says she chased the man out of the dressing room and started calling for help.
"By the time I actually caught him. We were out in the middle in the main pool area and I kept yelling 'security'."
She said her husband heard her screams and ran out of the men's changing room. He and another woman and man at the park grabbed the suspect and held him while they waited for police. The victim said he tried to get away but fell. They accused him of trying to delete his video while he waited. Now Gauci's charged with burglary and trying to tamper with evidence.
"They kept him on the ground until the police showed up and we managed to get the camera out of his hand. He was trying to erase the contents," said the victim.
The alleged suspect Michael Gauci wasn't arrested on the scene and it wasn't until later that the family found out he's a Missoula County Detention Officer. The Missoula County Sheriff's Office said he's since been suspended from his duties while the sheriff looks into the incident.
The charging affidavit says Gauci admitted it's not the first time he's taped women there
But the victim says that doesn't change what he did.
"Those are the very people who are supposed to be protecting us, not violating us."
Missoula Parks and Recreation Director Donna Gaukler said this is the first incident of its kind that's been reported at the park, but they're taking a look at their privacy policies and procedures.
"It's not something we deal with on a daily basis. This and the safety of people in and around the water is something we're hyper focused on," said Gaukler.
But the victim and her children are still worried, wishing they didn't have to second guess locker rooms from now on.
"It makes me question on whether or not I'm safe anywhere…you just never know."
The Missoula Police Department is investigating the incident. Gauci has not been cited or arrested at this point. But police have referred the case to the County Attorney's Office and recommended Gauci be charged with felony burglary and felony tampering with evidence.

Want to name Pluto's two tiniest moons? Then you'll need to dig deep into mythology.
Astronomers are asking for the public's help to rename "P4" and "P5, which were found by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2011 and 2012.
Voters can choose between several names associated Greek and Roman mythology: Acheron, Alecto, Cerberus, Erebus, Eurydice, Hercules, Hypnos, Lethe, Obol, Orpheus, Persephone, and Styx.
Three of Pluto's moons already have names relating to the ancient tales about Hades and the Underworld. They are Charon (KEHR-on), the ferryman of Hades; the half-human, half-fish spirit Nix; and the multi-headed monster Hydra.
The two tiny moons are no more than 24km to 32km across.
Votes can be cast online here. Write-in suggestions are welcomed, however the final decision lies with the International Astronomical Union.

"All Feet Left," the month-long collaboration currently at Firehouse 13, includes dance, theater, live music, and visual art, and the centerpiece of it all is DoubleShift Dance Thea-tre's presentation of Walk Away (through June 21). The program features six dance pieces and a short essay written and read by Phyllis Trelli about the transformation of the Ameri-can mini-van.
DoubleShift's co-directors Nikki Carrara and Peter Deffet have worked together on many dance projects, both here and in Boston. This is the first evening-length outing for their company, and they both contribute to the choreography, costumes, and performance. Live music for two of the pieces is by Kevin Fallon, Paul Dube, Matthew Jason, and Matt Haynie.
One of those is the title piece, Walk Away. However, it is the text that is most memorable, both the story of a young boy as an outsider and the recitation of a fractured version of the 23rd Psalm, with lines such as "in good's name, I can do good" and "peace and patience be my partners." The movement sometimes reflects the boy's turmoil or the solemnity of the psalm, but at other times it mirrors the playfulness and joy in the words being spoken.
At one point, there is a stylized square dance, all leaps and whooping arms. The more contemplative sections have two female couples partnering (Linda Ford, Leigh Hendrix, Marissa Molinar, and Abby Saunders) or three dancers standing over three others (including Carrara and Deffet), almost as if the upright dancers are sheltering trees. Does the title refer to an escape into nature, a connection with the earth (slapping the ground and rubbing a hand across one's mouth), in order to cope with the humiliations of daily life?
The second piece, 1 in 10, is another take on the issue. A solo premiered by Deffet, it is set to one of Franz Schubert's songs, Die Nebensonnen. The lyrics refer to the eyes of a beloved as two suns that no longer gaze back at the narrator, leaving him in darkness. Deffet stands in a spotlight, his head thrown back, his mouth open in anguish. One arm forms a ballet pose, but the other hand slaps it down; one shoulder is scrunched up to his ear and then lowered; his ragged breathing is audible, punctuating the internal struggle that the move-ment outlines.
The mood shifts dramatically with Carrarra's Patch Play, with a trio of female dancers, set to selections from Beethoven's Quartet for Piano and String Trio, This piece is a bright, cheerful interplay of the three dancers, all hops, skips, swirls, and smiles.
Distilled Verse 3: They Want Me to Remember is part of a longer work by choreographer Melody Ruffin Ward. Carrara and Deffet dance to recordings of Gullah tales and family stories. They portray two frisky kids who tease and tussle, finger-point and fisticuff, scoop up dirt to rub their bare feet in, and take turns getting wet in a washtub half-filled with water. The mime and movement effortlessly match the mood of the text.
Two more dances, plus Trelli's reading, comprise the second half of the program. Sophisticated Lady, to Ellington's music, features Deffet and Carrara in spiffy black and white outfits, re-creating and lovingly spoofing an Astaire/Rogers-style duet.

High welfare ham?
Anyone had any luck getting higher-welfare ham and bacon in the supermarket? Or pork, for that matter?
I tend to shop in the Co-Op but was putting in an online Tesco order and finding it very hard to get pork products which I could be confident were pig-friendly. The best standard of pork mince was "Finest" and I can't get any outright info about the welfare standards there. There was no organic available, which is usually the fallback when I can't get explicit welfare information, as my understanding is that organic always means free-range.
But the ham was even worse. No mention of welfare on any of the ham products, and again, no sign of organic.
Chicken's come a long way since the old days, but we still seem to be in the dark when it comes to pork welfare. Turkey too - you can buy organic or free-range whole turkeys, but the mince, escalopes etc. are always a mystery welfare-wise. And when it comes to pork and turkeys, no news is definitely not good news.
I have a local farm that sells free-range pork boxes, which is great, but they don't do any cured meats. A problem.

Re: High welfare ham?
I have to say one of the scariest things I see as a trend these days, is high end chefs pushing for free range pork , coupled with a recommendation that pork can be eaten pink .
Swine are omnivores and this means they are very susceptible to trichinosis in a free range environment. There is no way around the fact that free range means more chance of trichinosis, which means that finished cooking temps need to be very tightly monitored. It is possible using a highly accurate thermometer to cook slightly pink but to a safe temp. Unfortunately the general public just doesn't fill me with confidence in their ability to accomplish this.
Only a fool argues with a skunk, a mule or a cook. { cowboy saying}

Re: High welfare ham?
I'm not a fan of pink meat anyway, and I would run a mile from pink pork. So don't worry on my account! I'm old-school Scottish, when I cook meat, it KNOWS it's been cooked.

I've been teaching myself XNA for a while now and after recently discovering that it's no longer being supported by Microsoft, I'm wondering what the best alternative to XNA is if there even is any. Does anyone have any information on where else to look now that XNA isn't getting updates?
Keeping in mind that I'm going to be using C# as my main language now until I feel comfortable enough to move to C++.

Re: The Uncharted 3 "Puppet Time" Contest
Interesting concept Inigot. You did a few things...hmmm. Sorry I didn't play Uncharted 3 fully lol, was that from a specific scene in the game? Also, you must have been using some pro strings or something because that was pretty flawless movement. I may as well post my entry now although I feel like killing myself out of embarrassment LOL............
The cutscene from the game my clip is coming from:
The Puppet Recreation:
I'll give a little commentary about the process of making this. I went to my lab and had my friend come help out. I'd have gotten more people but there was a final going on at the time, and it'd feel kind of scummy to ask multiple people to come help since there really aren't a lot of prizes to share between people (same reason this is a single user per entry contest), so I only would have one friend ever help me at a time.
We knew what toys we were gonna use for the scene. I picked both the scene and the toys (they were the only ones I had LOL...) and she brought the pink barbie car lol. We decided not to speak because the dialogue was kind of hard and it was kind of noisy being in a lab room lol. Also, we shot one scene with the lights on, then she's like "turn the lights off it doesn't look like it's night like in the video." I kind of objected but she was like "no turn those **bleep** lights off" so it happened. Those are her hands in the video and I'm kind of behind the camera.
I feel like this scene was a little harder to do and the actions weren't easy to perform since there are no real cuts (besides the one I made for Elena getting in the car) so everything had to be shot in one shooting if it was to look good. I'd like to explore other toys/puppets in the future (although it's infeasible for me to shoot more since I'm going to my grandparents house tomorrow, away from friends and my computers and stuff for 3 months) as well as easier cut scenes and possibly redoing dialogue. (Although I could easily narrate the dialogue in if I wanted too, but it makes a little more sense in the video if using the voices/dialogue straight from the game as Inigot did.)
Anyway my rant is over, please don't laugh at me or be overly critical of the video.
Re: The Uncharted 3 "Puppet Time" Contest
@s0undst0rmz: Thanks for the kind words, man. I appreciate it.
@Blue: Nice job! Woody and Jessie were a good choice for Nate and Elena, and the pink car at the end was a great touch. What did you use for the gate? Did you have to build that? I think the "lights off" choice was a good one. It matches the tone of the original scene well.
I also like how you included the clip from the game in your post. That's a good idea. I should add the game clips to my post. To answer your question, I combined two scenes: the one of Nate walking in the desert after the plane crash (ending with Nate looking up at Sully, who is extending his hand to help him up) and the scene where they are all sitting around the table looking at the map before they split up to go to Syria and France. As you can tell, they aren't straight recreations of the original scenes. I cut up the dialogue and moved stuff around so it would flow better with what I was trying to do.
Moving the puppets was mostly just me shaking them with my hand out of frame. You can see my arm a few times. I did use a bit of wire that I covered with sand to make Nate move in one scene. Same for the map.
Re: The Uncharted 3 "Puppet Time" Contest
I really like the quality of your video, it's great, but yeah if you can (although UJ told me we didn't have to) you should edit your post to show the clips from the game just so people understand what they're comparing your puppets too.

Here's my contribution. Had a fun time putting it together.
Re: The Uncharted 3 "Puppet Time" Contest
The two submitted entries should be disqualified. The first involves Dora the Explorer, and is clearly not a cutscene from Uncharted 3. This is in violation of the rules. In the post of the second video the creator details that they enlisted help from friends, which is also in violation of the rules. 2. No team efforts are allowed, only one user per contest entry.

Yes it would be nice that Stata had a some kind of plugin to take job
from another outside editor and execute it.
There are many reasons to choose one editor or other. One trivial one
for example is: I just need one editor with dark background so I can
work for long hours without headache.

text: Last night at church a guy told me that a swarm of bee had landed in his Magnolia Tree yesterday evening. I went by this morning before work and they were located about 15' up in football sized cluster. After climbing the tree spraying the cluster, w/ sugar and lemon oil water I shook the branch all of the bees but a couple fell onto the tarp and box below. Only to return to a different branch I cut one branch, shook limbs tried brushing them but they would always return to the tree. I finally had a good number in the box, which I sprayed with sugar water good and set the top on with sticks holding it open. Clearly I never got the queen. I left the box with the cover ajar maybe they will gather there...... Any tips on what I could have done better?


text: opened up the hive today. Had my face kinda close to the lid and i guess i breathed too hard because as soon as I exhaled 10-20 bees jumped straight at my face sticking to my veil. It was amazingly fast, like a bee magnet, almost unreal. I used to be able to *blow* on them and they'd just move out of the way. Guess they're grumpy today (have been last few weeks).

Award-winning poet to read, lead workshop at CLC
On Monday, Sept. 24, Central Lakes College (CLC) will host award-winning poet Li-Young Lee as the first guest presenter of the "Verse Like Water: the visiting poet program of Central Lakes College" series produced by the English Department on the Brainerd campus.
Instructor Jeff Johnson, who has coordinated similar national poet readings elsewhere, said the series intends to introduce visiting poets to bring literary life to the college and community. The Center for Lifelong Learning and CLC Foundation are cosponsoring the event.
The Chinese American Lee, who since 1964 has lived in Chicago, will read some of his poems and meet with the public at a free event from noon to 1 p.m. in Chalberg Theatre. There will be a freewill offering.
Lee will also lead a free poetry workshop for students and other writers in E363 from 1:35 to approximately 2:20 p.m.
Lee is the author of four books of poetry: "Behind My Eyes" (2008); "Book of My Nights" (2001); "The City in Which I Love You" (1991); and "Rose" (1986). His autobiography is "The Winged Seed: A Remembrance" (1995).

Ann Richards, jazz singer extrodinaire, shocked the world with her 1961 pictorial.

Born Margaret Ann Borden under the always sunny skies of San Diego, California, famed jazz singer Miss Ann Richards caused quite the stir when she took it all off for our June Issue in 1961 and ruffled feathers even further when one of the photos found its way onto the cover of her 1961 album Ann, Man!
We can hardly see what all the fuss was about: beautiful, famous singer strips down in the '60s? Sounds about right.
The following appeared alongside the salacious photo set, which you can see in full below:
Ann Richards, one of vocaldom's most sensuous warblers, has but three things going for her in her drive to become a first-rank jazz nightingale—looks, talent, and the considerably consequential fact that she's the hip helpmeet of one of America's top concertmeisters, Stan Kenton. With Stan (Playboy Poll Bandleader of the Year) as a round-the-clock mentor, the development of Miss Richards from fledgling band chirper to featured vocalist to nightclub and LP star has proceeded prestissimo. Her latest disc, Two Much! (Playboy After Hours, April 1961), etched with spouse Kenton and his band, is the current landmark in a felicitous liaison dating back to 1955 when Ann (a) departed Charlie Barnet's crew to join the Kenton contingent and (b) exchanged wedding bands with Mr. K. himself. While recording sessions do get across the point that Miss Richards boasts a substantial set of pipes, they cannot, more's the pity, do right by the very visual assets of this enticingly-endowed lady. Never one to slight the eyes solely for the sake of the ears, Playboy herewith offers this orb-filling accolade to the charms of Ann—an abundance of Richards at work and play.

It feels like fall today around here...smells like football weather actually...this Sunday will be the first real football weekend imo.
mets showed a lot of fight this season imo...they will make a big move or two in the next couple years...they're just licking their wounds from past finicial failures...they will be very good in 3 years imo
Romero really took a **** this season imo...I was high on him...but honestly bandy, Morrow is a big time starter and losing the players you guys did was too much. I think they would be in the mix for one of the wildcards if they stayed healthy.
I can't believe the orioles have had such a season
For you golfers out there, At one of the local courses I go to in my area, they are having their annual "stripper as your caddy" golf tournament (adults only) of course....I've gone to this before, u get a group of 4 guys and you don't actually have a strippper as your caddy, they just hang out at all the holes, hold the flag for you, pose in all kinds of positions to distract you when your trying to avoid a triple bogey. I like stripppers and I like golf but mixing the two...idk
i almost got into a Playboy tourney a few years back up here..but the dude cancelled his group due to getting divorced.. which makes no sense at all.
naaaa, I can't. Not intended to be insulting but its just how I feel.

Posted: July 21, 2010 in ACE Press Releases
SAN DIEGO (July 21, 2010)—The American Council on Exercise (ACE), America's leading authority on fitness and the largest non-profit fitness certification, education and training organization in the world, today released the findings from an independent research study on the effectiveness of popular toning shoes including Skechers Shape-Ups, MBT (Masai Barefoot Technology) and Reebok EasyTone. The study, one of the first from an independent organization, enlisted a team of researchers from the Exercise and Health Program at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, and found no evidence to suggest that the shoes help wearers exercise more intensely, burn more calories or improve muscle strength and tone.
Our findings demonstrate that toning shoes are not the magic solution consumers were hoping they would be, and simply do not offer any benefits that people cannot reap through walking, running or exercising in traditional athletic shoes."
To test the toning shoes' effectiveness and evaluate their claims, a team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, led by John Porcari, Ph.D., John Greany, Ph.D., Stephanie Tepper, M.S., Brian Edmonson, B.S. and Carl Foster, Ph.D., designed a pair of studies to evaluate the exercise responses and muscle activation that take place while walking with toning shoes versus traditional athletic shoes. Researchers enlisted 12 physically active female volunteers, ages 19 to 24 years, for the exercise response study, during which they completed a dozen five-minute exercise trials of walking on a treadmill while wearing each type of shoe, including the toning sneakers Skechers Shape-Ups, MBT and Reebok's EasyTone, and traditional New Balance running shoes. To evaluate muscle activation, researchers recruited a second group of 12 physically active female volunteers, ages 21 to 27 years, who performed similar five-minute treadmill trials and were measured for muscle activity in six muscle areas: calves, quads, hamstrings, buttocks, back and abs.
All three toning shoes tested showed no statistically significant increases in either exercise response or muscle activation during the treadmill trials, when compared to the normal athletic shoes tested. There was simply no evidence to indicate that the toning shoes offer any enhanced fitness benefits over traditional sneakers, despite studies cited by manufacturers seemingly "proving" the toning shoes' effectiveness. Bryant warns consumers to be wary of such studies sponsored by manufacturers, many of which are not peer-reviewed and may be of questionable design. ACE's study also addresses anecdotal evidence consumers have shared indicating that they feel the shoes are working their muscles due to localized muscle soreness. Study researchers explain that this feeling is due to the shoe's unstable sole design, which cause wearers to use slightly different muscles to maintain balance than they would while wearing normal shoes, resulting in temporary soreness that will subside as the body adjusts to the shoe.
"There may be one positive effect these shoes offer," continues Bryant. "The motivation factor. If these shoes are serving as a motivator for individuals to walk or get moving more often, that is a good thing, even if they don't produce the dramatic toning and calorie-burning results people think they are getting." Bryant goes on to add that "it is important to note that, based on the results of this study, it appears that consumers can more economically achieve the same results wearing normal running shoes."
ACE's study also raised a couple of questions, one positive the other negative: will wearing toning shoes improve balance over time? Or do they alter an individual's walking gait mechanics, potentially causing problems for those who are already at risk for lower-extremity issues? Evaluating both of these issues would require additional in-depth research.
A full summary of the study's findings can be found on ACE's "Get Fit" website, designed to inform, inspire, educate and motivate people to become fit and lead a healthier, more active lifestyle, located at www.acefitness.org/getfit/research.aspx.

Archery only uses stam for Eagle Eye, running, and the occassional bash with your bow, so you don't need much, actually.
For example I'm a Wood Elf Archer Thief and my health/stam ratio is about 80/20 and I just keep some stamina potions with me for the rare times I actually need more.
If I were to do what you're doing, I'd probably do about 60/30/10 health/magicka/stamina and just keep enough potions with me.

Many benefits for dadYou might not have considered the many ways your baby's father can benefit from being part of a breastfeeding family. Although fathers often worry that they will feel left out of the breastfeeding experience, the truth is that fathers are positively impacted when their babies are breastfed.
The father of a breastfed baby will reap the benefits of a healthier partner and healthier infant.
Traditionally, fathers view themselves as providers and protectors of their families. Naturally, a father wants to assure the welfare of his partner and his baby. His support, encouragement, and direct help can be the decisive factor in a woman's breastfeeding success. When his infant is breastfed, a father experiences pride and confidence, knowing he has contributed to the healthiest outcome for his baby and his partner. Fewer infant illnesses mean less disruption of family life and less expense, while the long-term health benefits to his partner can have a powerful impact on their quality of life.
Fathers appreciate the convenience of breastfeeding in the middle of the night and the increased flexibility that breastfeeding affords.
Many fathers choose to share responsibility for night feedings by bringing the baby to the mother and burping and changing the infant after nursing. Other men choose to sleep through some night feedings, especially at times when their sleep is critical to work-related activities. When the mother is breastfeeding, middle-of-the-night nursings are minimally disruptive to the parents' sleep, since no one has to shuffle to the kitchen to prepare a bottle.
The baby can be fed anywhere without any preparation or fuss, and a breastfed infant can be consoled and quieted in virtually any setting, simply by nursing. When our first son was born, my sailor husband had just returned from being stationed overseas during the Vietnam conflict. We still were getting reacquainted ourselves after enduring a six-month separation when we were suddenly thrust into our new, unfamiliar roles as parents. We had no one with whom we could leave our baby, so Larry was delighted to discover that we easily could take Peter with us and still enjoy an outing together. When our middle child, Tricie, was only a month old, we drove from Denver to California to visit Larry's family. Although Peter and Paige were only three and two, I found the trip to be thoroughly manageable because of the convenience of breastfeeding. I can't imagine trying to travel while having to deal with formula, bottles, a cooler, warmer, and other paraphernalia required for a formula-fed baby.
Fathers welcome the reduced cost of breastfeeding over bottle-feeding.
Despite contemporary changes in traditional sex role stereotypes, most fathers still bear greater responsibility for family financial commitments. With all the additional costs of caring for a new baby, they appreciate not having to spend money on infant formula. Some fathers have calculated the projected savings that breastfeeding will achieve and then suggested ways to use the unspent money-perhaps a vacation together since breastfed babies are so portable!
The father of a breastfed baby can make an important contribution to the success of breastfeeding.
One often hears expectant parents express their desire that fathers share more involvement in their babies' care than in the past generation. Certainly, feeding is one of the most gratifying and visible ways adults give care to newborns. I have even met a few parents who chose to bottle-feed specifically to allow the father to play an equal role in child rearing.
While I believe that babies ideally need and deserve both a mother and a father, I am convinced that the dual parental roles are meant to complement one another, not to compete with one another. The enlightened father doesn't lament, "I feel so left out when she's nursing my son; there's nothing for me to do." Instead, he recognizes his unique role as the principal supporter of the mother, the one who enables her to nurture the baby in an optimal fashion. He views supporting his partner through lactation as a logical continuation of his support role during pregnancy and his coaching role during labor. The enlightened father encourages and compliments his breastfeeding partner every chance he gets, brings a glass of juice to the nursing mother, gives her a back rub, changes the baby's diaper, and helps with household chores. Fathers of breastfed infants soon learn that there are many ways, apart from feeding, that they can bond with their babies, e.g., bathing, massaging, rocking, and playing with their infants.

Margaret "Peg" Nelson
Margaret "Peg" Nelson
Pine River
Margaret "Peg" Nelson passed away on July 9, 2013, at the age of 106 years and 7 1/2 months. She was born on a farm in Redwood Falls, Minn., on Nov. 27, 1906.
Peg graduated from Redwood Falls High School and attended one year of business school. She married Carl "Taxi" Nelson of Boyd, Minn., in 1926. Peg and Taxi had one son, Charles, born Nov. 11, 1936.
Shortly after the depression hit and the business they started failed, she had to live with her parents while Taxi had to find part-time work. This struggle made her a "saver of anything that might come in handy later."
Resourceful, strong and resilient, she survived the loss of her husband in 1970. Peg continued to live in Boyd until her nineties when she moved into the Riverside Villas in Pine River to be closer to her son. She moved into the Good Samaritan Society Nursing Home in 2011. To the very end of her life her mind was quick and witty. Peg loved living at the "Good Sam" nursing home where she loved the people and they loved her. She loved playing cards and continued to play bingo until a week before her death. Peg died of complications of pneumonia.
She was preceded in death by her parents, sister, brother and husband. Peg is survived by her son, Charles (Shirley); three grandchildren: Kirsten Demars, Karl (Alyson) Nelson, Eric (Sara) Nelson; step granddaughter, Jill Handley; and 12 great-grandchildren: Blake Demars, Morgan Demars, Alex Nelson, Kyle Nelson, Kallie Nelson, Amanda Nelson, Kamryn Nelson, Cade Nelson, Heath Nelson, Mary Ellen Handley, Sarah Ruth Handley and Thomas Handley.
Services were at 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 13, at Kline Funeral Home, Pine River. Visitation was one hour prior to the service. Burial was in Nelson Memorial, Hackensack.
Arrangements were with Kline Funeral Home, Pine River.

text: I remember at my grandmother's house she had a pantry in a short hall way from dining room to kitchen. She had a curtain for a door to the pantry. It was dark in there and when we kids were acting up she would say I'm going to let the pantry troll grab you if you don't straighten up. We were all scared of the pantry troll and wouldn't go pass that curtain for anything. Even as we got older we were cautious about passing through there without thinking of the troll that was hiding and waiting to get us. LOL. That is what makes memories with every detail clear as a bell. All my sibling and cousins remember the pantry troll and knew to behave immediately. We didn't mess with Grandma. We all thought she was brave to have a troll in her pantry.

Snakes have been around for at least 100 million years, but it's
still not clear whose family reunion they should go to. Biologists
agree that they descended from lizards, but exactly where this first
happened has been a matter of debate since the 1800s, when two
contending theories emerged.
The so-called terrestrial hypothesis holds that snakes evolved from
land lizards that shed their limbs. The marine hypothesis contends
that they appeared first at sea and slithered ashore later.
Which is correct? In recent years, the marine hypothesis found some
support when a group of extinct marine snakes from the Cretaceous
were discovered to have vestigial limbs. But a new study using
genetic analysis comes down firmly on the landlubbers' side.
By scrutinizing evolutionary changes in two genes, biologists
Nicolas Vidal and S. Blair Hedges of the Pennsylvania State
University set out to construct a family tree for modern snakes and
lizards. The team collected data from 64 different species, going to
extra lengths to get tissue samples for all 19 families of living
lizards, including some rare specimens from Africa, China and the Philippines.
"The importance of having all the families of lizards is that
we simply don't know the closest family of lizards to snakes,"
Hedges says. "So if you're missing one or two, that could be
the one. You really have to have all of them."
If the terrestrial hypothesis is correct, today's snakes are most
closely related to land lizards. If the marine hypothesis is
correct, modern snakes can claim a closer genetic cousin in the sea.
(When snakes first appeared, the only seagoing lizards were giant
mosasaurs. The mosasaurs left no tissue samples, so Hedges and Vidal
used their closest living relatives, monitor lizards, as genetic stand-ins.)
After compiling gene sequences from each species, the team compared
them using a variety of statistical methods, looking for patterns of
mutation. Their findings, published in the U.K. Royal Society
journal Biology Letters, suggest that snakes are not
closely related to monitor lizards—or, hence, to ancient sea
lizards. Because all other lizards at that time lived on land, the
Penn State study supports the idea that land lizards evolved into
modern snakes.
"The tree unfortunately doesn't show exactly what lizard family
is the closest relative of snakes significantly," Hedges says.
"But what it does show significantly is that the closest
relative is not the monitor lizards, the varanids, which is the only
connection that would have supported the marine hypothesis."
The terrestrial hypothesis makes intuitive sense to Hedges, who used
to explore caves in high school. "The first thing you realize
is that your limbs are a detriment to moving through small
openings," he says. "So it's very easy and logical to
understand why natural selection would result in a limbless organism."
In fact, "we see this in many groups of lizards that have small
limbs or completely missing limbs, reduced to where there are no
limbs externally visible. Quite often those lizards burrow in the
ground or live in holes. So it's very logical that the ancestor of
snakes might have been a burrowing sort of lizard."

Trying to look for something, an item (anywhere, usually in the house) ..but you can't find it, so you ask your spouse for help. Upon asking your spouse for help, the spouse points to the item that you were looking for, which is usually standing right in front of your face.
After your spouse points to the item you were looking for, and it happens to end up being right in front of your face, you exclaim something like,
"Oh! I must've had a case of Domestic Blindness!!"
If you are well paired with your partner, your spouse will usually LMFAO, together with you.

a condition afflicting mostly married men that makes them unable to see common household objects even though they're right in front of them
if you were surveying the contents of the fridge ... looking for the mustard etc ... and you say to your partner ... where's the mustard and they say "right in fricken front of you" ... you still say you can't see it ... they come up and point it out to you ... and its label facing front - right at your eye level etc and you go ... oh yeah ... so it is ;-| ... that's grounds for a domestic blindness diagnosis!

Breezy Point women to host potluck picnic
Due to multiple events and celebrations related to July 4, the regular monthly meeting of the Breezy Point Area Women's Club has been changed to 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, July 10, at the City Park behind Breezy Point City Hall on County Road 11, just north of the Breezy Point Resort gate.
A potluck picnic will be held.
Bonnie Hiniker, horticulturist and owner of Sunshine Gardens, will present the program on wildflowers.


text: It is painful and tragic that 12 hardworking people at the Washington Navy Yard went to work Monday and never came home. Aaron Alexis shot 29 people before the police were able to stop him. President Obama and his allies in the liberal media jumped to blame the weapons, but there is not a single gun-control law that could have prevented that horrific massacre.

I would like to try making a Kaleidoscope block but need to know what sort of template i would need to make this and where i can find any tutorials on how to make these blocks
Printable View
I would like to try making a Kaleidoscope block but need to know what sort of template i would need to make this and where i can find any tutorials on how to make these blocks
i love those quilts too
Me too!
there are many kaleidescope designs. which do you want to make.
Oh i don't really know i have seen some beautiful ones with floral fabric but a easy one to start with would be good as a beginner in these types of blocks i think if i started with a really hard one would panic me lol
A good one to start with is one block wonder or Bethany Reynolds Kaleidscope pinwheel. For these you only need a straight ruler. This would give you the concept and you can go from there. And the uglest fabric make the most attractive designs.
and #2 it is addictive
You may want to start out with a pattern. Some are fussy cut, others are cut out using repeat fabrics stacked up.
Having a good book or pattern in front of you for the first one is very helpful :wink:
Once you pick one out, it will be easier for us to help you with it :D:D:D
Check out this tutorial from connecting threads :D:D:D
Florals sounds like Stack & Whack or One Block Wonders. Stack & Whack (S&W) generally uses 45 degree templates but can be done with any size really. One Block Wonders (OBW)are generally hexagons so they use 6 triangles--60 degree rulers or equilateral triangles. I used Kaye Wood's Star Maker 6 ruler for my OBW. I like how large it is so I can make any finished size between 2" & 14".
There is a tutorial on this website for the OBW's. Very good pictorials to follow. Finding the repeats and accurate cutting are the hardest parts.
Another method is to find a specific design in a fabric and fussy cut multiples in triangles, squares (4 Patch Posies), or blades (Dresden Kaleidoscopes). How many units depends on the degree of ruler you use. A 10 degree blade ruler would be 36 blades or a 36 degree blade ruler would be 10 blades. You have to equal 360 degrees to make a block. 6-60 degree triangles, 8-45 degree triangles also known as half square triangles. Squares are 90 degrees so 4 squares.
A really cool one I saw wasn't flowers. It was chili peppers. The oriental fabrics look great also. I prefer the high contrast versions myself with lots of color. To me, the muted ones with fewer colors look like a whole lot of work for very little bang but many people like the very subtle changes across the quilt. I like eye candy overload!

Micron, SanDisk Shares Increasingly Detached from Spot Market Prices, Says RBC
Fear-not declines in DRAM and NAND chip pricing, writes RBC Capital's Doug Freedman this morning, noting that despite a continued drop-off in prices, the shares of manufactures such as Micron Technology (MU) and SanDisk (SNDK) are insulated because of continued robust demand, and because the stocks track prices of chips on the open market less and less these days.
"Spot pricing for NAND/-1.5% and DRAM/-4.0% both moved lower, for the 5th consecutive week as seasonality plays out," writs Freedman.
Despite declines of late, NAND is still reflecting resilient demand:
NAND spot price for the week ended March 14 reduced by 1.5% compared to last week. W/w spot prices declined for all three densities when compared to the last week with 64Gb MLC declining the most by 3.6%, while drop in the prices of 16Gb MLC and 32Gb MLC densities was below 1%. On the contract side, prices for 32Gb MLC and 64Gb MLC stood at $2.51 and $3.56 by second half of March. From a demand perspective, NAND has been relatively strong on increasing SSD (client and enterprise) adoption, smartphone and tablet production ramps, rising card densities into mobile markets, and growing penetration in the China market, driving sales for both embedded solution (eMMC, MCP, eMCP) and high- density microSD bundled cards sales.
And DRAM is still priced at premium on the open market, given strength in mobile devices, networking, servers, and also production change-overs:
W/w spot pricing for DDR3 2Gb 256Mx8 1333 MHz, DDR3 2Gb 256Mx8 1600MHz and DDR3 1Gb 128Mx8 1333MHz witnessed a decline of 4.7%, 4.6% and 3.5% respectively on weekly basis. On the contract side, pricing for DDR3 2Gb 256x8 1333 MHz by first half of March stood at $1.91 compared to 2H of February. Spot market is currently running at +17% premium vs. contract market. The uptick in DRAM QTD reflects supply cuts (Samsung, Micron), the impact of slowing node migrations, strong trends in the mobile market and improving trends in server and networking. Pricing is benefitting as production is partially curbed as manufactures convert from traditional PC DRAM to higher growth mobile DRAM and server.
Freedman observes that the stock prices of MU and SNDK are becoming detached from the spot market moves:
When we look at the correlation between DRAM spot/contract pricing vs. Micron share price and NAND spot/contract pricing vs. SanDisk share price we are seeing the correlation weaken, as seen on page 5. As an example, we look across 3 set of time periods: since 2012, since 2013, and YTD. Spot DRAM to MU price: since 2012/.93, since 2013/.86, YTD/.36. Spot NAND to SNDK: since 2012/.88, since 2013/.77, YTD/-.72. We believe this is reflective of increasing conviction that the memory cycle is truly different this time around as scaling challenges, healthy CapEx outlook (limited threat of oversupply), and NAND demand cycle should all promote a more stable era of profitability.
Freedman offers these charts of how the stocks have detached themselves steadily from linkage to spot market prices for the chips (click for larger image):
Freedman maintains an Outperform rating on SanDisk shares and an $84 price target, and a Sector Perform rating on Micron shares and a $28 price target.
Micron shares today are down 11 cents, or half a percent, at $24, while SanDisk stock is off 20 cents at $73.42.

Teen band Big Time Rush (BTR) has hit it big. Their debut CD, named after the band, came out on October 11. If the songs, including "Til I Forget About You," sound familiar, you may have heard them on BTR's hit TV series on Nickelodeon. Band members Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Carlos Peña and Logan Henderson play themselves on the show, which chronicles the lives of four high school friends from Minnesota who make it big in Los Angeles. TFK Kid Reporter Sahil Abbi got the scoop on the band's favorite songs from the new CD, what they like to do in their spare time and much more.
What is your favorite song on the new CD?
I have two: "Big Night" and "Worldwide." I like "Big Night" because it's a party song and I have a lot of fun singing it. "Worldwide" is a very emotional song to sing and I feel a real connection to it.
What is your favorite part of what you do, the show or the music?
That's a tough one. They're pretty much tied for me. If I had to pick one, I'd have to say the music. Acting is kind of second nature. That's what I came out here to L.A. to do. But music has taken over my life.
Is there an artist or band that you admire or look to for inspiration? Kendall: I have two favorite bands: Incubus and Taking Back Sunday.
I'm deeply into musical theater. I just love it, and I love oldies rock too.
I like the oldies. I love Stevie Wonder and Billie Holliday.
I like a lot of music as well, but Jack Johnson is my favorite artist.
Was there one experience that made you realize how popular you guys are?
Just looking out the window here (at the Brooklyn Bowl in New York), all the fans were out there and they saw us at the window and they were really excited. Any fan reaction is shocking for us. It's awesome that people actually watch the show, and really care about it and support it. It's a miracle to us. We're so happy that we can perform for everybody.
For me, the most shocking experience was playing Times Square. Seeing the workers build our stage at one in the morning was unreal. We woke up the next morning and people were just packed outside. It was nuts.
Is there a lucky charm you always keep with you?
All of us wear Silly Bandz that fans give us. Whenever fans throw them on stage, we put them on. We keep them on in the recording studio and when we're performing at concerts.
We have a lucky ritual too. We'll all get in a group before a performance and just goof around and sing a song together.
What's your favorite thing to do in your spare time?
I like to play guitar, hang out with friends and go snowboarding.
I like to surf and go to the beach as much as I can.
I recently got into snowboarding. I also like taking long bike rides down the coast.
I love to snowboard. I just got a new board for the New Year, so I'm excited to take that out. I'm also a huge moviegoer and I love any type of outdoor activity.
What's next for Big Time Rush?
We're halfway through the first season of our show on Nickelodeon. We're going to be doing a whole bunch of new episodes for the second season. Then, I think we're probably going to go on tour.
Do you have any words of advice for kids who aspire to be actors or musicians?
If it's what you love, just do it. It doesn't matter if you have professional work or not. You'll enjoy it no matter if you're practicing or auditioning.
Just don't stop. Keep at it. But make sure you love it. You've got to love what you do.

Starting Position: Holding a dumbbell in each hand, sit on a bench facing the backrest, which is angled at 45 to 60 degrees. Hold your torso against the backrest and keep your feet firmly placed on the floor. Allow your arms to hang toward the floor with your elbows slightly bent and palms facing each other. Brace your core and abdominal muscles to stabilize your spine.
Upward Phase: Exhale. Slowly raise the dumbbells up and out to the sides until your arms are almost level with the shoulders. Squeeze your shoulder blades together as you reach the end position. In the raised position, the dumbbells should be aligned with, or slightly in front of your ears. Keep your torso firmly pressed into the backrest and do no allow the back to arch.
Downward Phase: Inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells in back to your starting position.
Technique is very important in this lift. If the dumbbells are raised to an end position behind the head rather than in line with the ears, the emphasis shifts off the shoulders and onto the latissimus dorsi (back).

Local student has brother in Kenyan tragedy
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Nairobi is 8,000 miles and an ocean away from Tennessee, but the tragedy is hitting close to home.
East Tennessee State University student Judith Wangari's younger brother was in the mall when al-Qaeda-linked militants attacked killing 68 people.
Moses Kago, 25, told his sister he heard a blast go off.
"He's not sure if it's a grenade or there's some gas cylinders that are out there," said Wangari, retelling her brother's story. "They don't know if someone hit them and let them go off but they thought that there was a fire outside."
So everyone rushed out of the building, only to face a nightmare.
"Out of nowhere some people came towards everyone that was running outside and started shooting," Wangari told us. "They didn't care at all. They only cared at one point when they stopped and said 'if you're a Muslim you can leave now'."
Kago told his sister he ran back inside to the mall's control room where he worked as an engineer, she said.
He locked the steel door and watched the scene unfold on the 60 television screens in front of him, Wangari told us.
"He says he saw two of those terrorists people," Wangari said. "He saw them, he remembered their faces. He says 'I remember two of their faces because I saw them on screen'."
Kago and others in the room called police to tell them what they were seeing.
"He had never seen somebody shoot another person and he saw people shooting at each other," Wangari said. "He saw people running, he saw blood, he saw a lot of bad things."
Throughout all of it, seven hours behind in the United States, Wangari was sleeping.
She was "really, really terrified," Wangari said.
She had just left her apartment to go to ETSU to tutor when she called her dad in Kenya.
He told her that her brother was okay.
"It was overwhelming, really overwhelming," Wangari remembers. "I didn't know how I was going to get through it."
She called her brother next.
Kago was rescued, unhurt, after six hours as a hostage.
She still can't believe what's happening in Kenya, Wangari said.
"Just to think someone would want to hurt somebody like that, not knowing them, not knowing their story, is really bad," she said. "I see no excuse for what they did. No excuse."
Kenyan police began an assault Sunday evening to hopefully end the hostage crisis.
