Deadly motorcycle crash in Chaffee County
CHAFFEE COUNTY, Colo. - The Colorado State Patrol is investigating a deadly motorcycle accident.
56-year-old Robert Underhill was killed in the crash on Thursday night. He left Weld County on Wednesday, reportedly enroute to Salida, authorities said.
State Patrol found Underhill and his 2005 Yamaha XV-Star motorcycle on US 24 about 7 miles east of Buena Vista. Troopers say Underhill lost control and went off the side of the roadway. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Alcohol and speed are not considered factors in this crash. While he had a helmet with him, it did not appear that it was being used, State Patrol said.
The State Patrol is awaiting toxicology results to determine if marijuana played a role in the crash.

Mahal's life, death impact zoo community
Sudden loss of young orangutan hard on zoo staff, surrogate mother
Milwaukee County Zoo goers lost a favorite animal with the death of Mahal the Orangutan, but zookeepers and his adoptive mother lost much more. They lost a family member.
Mahal came to the zoo an orphan in 2008. His biological mother was unfit to care for him, so he was given to his grandmother, who died.
He passed away Dec. 29.
Growing up
When Mahal came to meet his new mother in Milwaukee, an orangutan named "MJ," he wasn't ready for her but still needed 24-hour contact. His zookeepers knew this and spent all their time with him, going so far as to sleep in his exhibit with him for two weeks.
MJ was patient with Mahal, sidling up to him and slinking away when he cried. One day he didn't cry when she approached and the two locked arms. They were inseparable from that moment on.
While he constantly clung to MJ, the zookeepers were still a large part of his young life. They gave him milk every two hours and taught MJ to bring him to the mesh that separated them to get it.
"They turn almost to family," zookeeper Stacy Whitaker said. "They really do. It's really hard on me."
According to his zookeepers, it was important that Mahal be raised by another orangutan so that he could learn how to act like an orangutan. MJ was a perfect match and, in fact, at the top of the registry for potential orangutan mothers. She had the patience, intelligence and energy to handle raising a baby orangutan.
Those qualities were needed to deal with the energetic toddler that Mahal became. According to his keepers, he was an instant zoo favorite due to his energy and charisma.
"It took maybe three years for him to start showing independence and when he started showing it, oh my god watch out. He was a typical toddler. He was all over the place. The public loved him and he knew he was loved and he showed it. He was not afraid."
When he wasn't showing off for the public, he was trying to play with his keepers. He would constantly shove rope or things through the mesh that separates them for games of tug of war.
He and MJ were always together. His keepers said that MJ took to him like there was nothing else in the world. The two painted together, watched television and even played with iPads.
Things went well for his four years at the zoo, until a cold December morning.
A sour turn
Mahal started showing signs of sickness Dec. 27, acting sluggish and not as energetic. One of Mahal's keepers rolled a grape at him Dec. 28. It hit his foot and he didn't look at it, a sign that he was very sick. His keepers held a meeting and decided it would be best to knock him and MJ out the next day and perform full tests on him with expert veterinarians.
They got the call the next morning.
Mahal was gone.
Officials don't know his exact cause of death, but they believe it may have been pneumonia.
"When you walk away from this job at night, you expect to see the same guys the next morning," keeper Mark Scheuber said. "You take it hard (when they die), especially with the little guys. Pneumonia (the suspected cause of Mahal's death) can come up quick on you and if you don't catch up on it, animals die."
MJ was depressed and lethargic for days. She knew he wasn't coming back.
"That was her life, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week that was what she did," Whitaker said. "And then it's gone. She needs a job. She's a high maintenance animal. She needs something to do all the time and she can be very demanding."
Her keepers did what any family member would do to help her recover from a loss. They simply stayed by her side. They would sit next to her cage and spend as much time with her as possible. They also opened a window between her and Tommy the orangutan so that they could interact. There are plans of having them share an exhibit when they are ready.
Expecting the unexpected
Every six months zookeepers sit around a table with veterinarians and discuss how to deal with animal's health issues. They discuss steps to prevent animals' deaths like Mahal's, but they also know that some can hit without warning.
"We look back and ask, 'should I have done something differently?' 'Did I do something wrong?' 'Should I have noticed something earlier?' 'Should we have knocked him down that night?'" Scheuber said. "You constantly question yourself, asking what you could have done and you can't do that."
While it's the zookeeper's job to constantly monitor animal's health to catch things like pneumonia, it's the animals' job to mask their sickness.
According to the keepers, when they see an animal is sluggish, it has been sick for a while.
To give a strong ape like Mahal a full exam, both he and MJ would have to be knocked out. The zookeepers aren't fond of jumping the gun and knocking out animals every time they exhibit signs of sickness.
"Think about if you have a kid and every time they have a runny nose you send them to the E.R., you can't do that," Scheuber said. "Knocking them down isn't the greatest thing ever. Their immune system takes a hit from that."
Giving an animal medication is another obstacle for the keepers. They usually have to mask antibiotics with the animal's food or they won't take it. The animals won't eat something they haven't had before and many of the antibiotics can have a bitter taste.
Moving forward
MJ is still on top of the list of surrogate mothers. It may be possible that the zoo could see another young orangutan under her care, but there are no leads yet.
She will continue to be provided with brain stimulating activities like her building blocks, television shows and paintings. She will eventually be in the same exhibit as Tommy and will continue to receive constant attention from her keepers.

Memorial Service for Cliff Taylor
I want to let you know that my father, Cliff, passed away peacefully Monday, April 2, 2012 at 10:30am. My mother, Betty, and I were with him along with my father's very dear friend Marlin. Dad began failing last week and Saturday evening we took him to the emergency room at St. Jude Hospital for assistance with his breathing. Sunday morning Dad was moved to a hospice room and all afternoon and evening friends came by to say farewell. While my father was no longer conscious, his room was filled with singing and stories of how he had touched so many lives. Somehow it seems fitting that his home going is this Holy Week. My father has been eager for heaven for several months and now is safely home.
My mother and I want to thank you for your many prayers and words of encouragement this year as my father finished his life here. My father was a man of prayer and deep faith, and he prayed every day for Vanguard University.
Dad's memorial service will be Saturday, April 14th at Eastside Christian Church in Fullerton at 11:00am. Eastside is located at 2505 Yorba Linda Blvd between State College and the 57 freeway in Fullerton, California. In lieu of flowers, my parents' wish is for charitable contributions to either Vanguard University or Eastside Christian Church.
Thank you again for you many prayers and encouragement.
Dr. Carol Taylor
UPDATE April 9, 2012
If you were the recipient of an inlaid wooden cross made by Cliff Taylor, the family would like to request that you please bring that cross with you to the memorial service on Saturday.

Watch out folks, there's a new website in town! Launched on July 26th, Good Eggs introduces a little bit of technology in the otherwise organic world of local foods. Good Eggs is an online marketplace for local food growers and makers to sell their goods to the community. What's even more special about the Good Eggs site is the effort they put into creating a people connection rather than a soulless business transaction. You don't browse food in your neighborhood's marketplace page, you browse people passionate about food. The food comes second, in a rollover image and once you drilldown to the seller's Good Eggs page. The goal of Good Eggs is not only to provide tools for foodmakers, but emphasize relationships between them and the consumer.

Will the real Haystack Rock please stand up? There are three iconic monoliths off the Oregon Coast that bear the same name (they do, after all, look like haystacks). But only one can claim the title of tallest, and it's parked just off the coast of Pacific City, about two hours southwest of Portland.
At the Inn at Cape Kiwanda, situated right across the street from the beach, you'll have unparalleled views of this iconic rock formation. Along with a pillow-top bed and feather pillows, a cozy gas fireplace, and contemporary furnishings, rooms at this 2012 TripAdvisor Award of Excellence winner are appointed with private balconies; step out and take in the majesty of the coast.
In the morning, swoop into Pelican Pub & Brewery for breakfast—a savory shrimp frittata with artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese, and fresh chives, perhaps? Or try the signature beer pancakes with blackberry syrup and hazelnut butter.
The inn borders Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area, which boasts some of the Oregon coast's best surf. "Surfers ride some of the longest waves on the coast, hang gliders soar above the shore, and beachcombers explore tidal pools and take in unparalleled ocean views." says Fodor's. You'll also notice that two small rivers flow into the ocean, creating an estuary for a bustling bird population, hence the name of the inn's restaurant. After a day of exploring, head for a relaxing body treatment, facial, or manicure at the Cottages at Cape Kiwanda.
For dinner, return to Pelican Pub & Brewery to pair a delicious seafood meal with an included taster tray of beers. Pelican's brews have earned soaring praise, including three gold medals at the 2011 North American Beer Awards.
"Just 400 feet from the sand, the 35-room Inn at Cape Kiwanda is the perfect base for a weekend at the shore. Suites are cozy—gas fireplaces; down comforters—and offer amazing views of the surf crashing into Haystack Rock."-- Travel + Leisure

I suppose I could put mediums together and deeps together next year. Then go with mediums from now on.
The deeps can be used for the attic spaces for overwintering all the mediums as I do away with deeps.
And for bait hives maybe. They come in handy for so many things. They make good places to sit, and something to stand on, and something to lay beeboxes onto when working hives.

Quotes of the day
posted at 10:01 pm on June 19, 2013 by Allahpundit
"I certainly wouldn't presume to speak for Harry Reid, but I think he's starting to get nervous," Cruz said in an interview with conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh…
"I think he's starting to get nervous because the American people are starting to pay attention," he said…
"There are probably 20 Republican senators in the U.S. Senate who are on the fence, who are wobbling on this issue and not sure of how to vote," Cruz added.
It was just a few months ago that Republican Sens. Rand Paul and Marco Rubio brought the Conservative Political Action Conference crowd to its feet with back-to-back speeches that left many in the audience waxing poetic about the two freshman firebrands and their prospects in 2016.
But while Paul earned similar praise Wednesday from activists perched on the Capitol lawn for a rally against illegal immigration and the IRS, the very mention of Rubio's name drew groans and even boos. The same Tea Party types that helped catapult Rubio into the national spotlight have now turned on him as he continues to maneuver the Senate toward a bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform package…
"I still like him," William Agliano adds. "But he's making it tough."
A lot of conservatives are upset with Marco Rubio. I can understand that. I do believe that he had the best of intentions when he started working on this issue. But I also told him during interviews early on that I do not trust Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin. Democrats have a history of not being trustworthy. My prediction seems to have become a reality. Democrats are basically using this as a political issue, not for the sake of solving an important problem but to boost future election chances by making this a wedge issue for 2014. The way that this is all shaping up, Democrats will be able to go out there and say that Republicans don't like Hispanics, just like they squawk that Republicans want dirty air and water, they want to push granny off the cliff and they want poor and disabled children to fend for themselves. This is typical liberal politics at play.
Nearly every time you do business with liberals, they go back on their word.
"The fact is, Senator Rubio is bouncing around trying to find a path out," a Republican staffer told the Washington Examiner. "The bill is indefensible — and he has all but admitted it by saying 'it must be improved.' So he saddled up with Cornyn to try to get cover — but now that doesn't seem to be working either. Now there are more secret back room-deals being attempted — while Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer stiff-arm Senator Grassley and other Republicans who are trying to modify the bill on the floor. The American people are just waking up to the reality of another 1000 page amnesty bill — and there is a long way to go in this debate."…
"How long have they been working on this bill?" another Republican Senate aide said. "And they are going to surprise everyone with a brand new bill just DAYS before senators vote on it, before anyone can read it, score it, evaluate it?"
Laura Ingraham asked Representative Paul Ryan on her radio show today why he supports immigration reform that could harm middle-class Americans. She asked him, "The CBO report says that [the Gang of Eight] approach, which would allow in all these people, would drive wages down. How can Paul Ryan, the man behind the growth agenda, say that driving American wages down is a good thing over the next twelve years, for the middle class who is struggling in Wisconsin and beyond?"
Citing a data point from the CBO's recently released score of the Senate bill, Ingraham argued that, while the Senate proposal may be supported by the Chamber of Commerce and big businesses, it would harm wages for working-class Americans. "If the amnesty happens, those people are going to be able to compete across every job line, across every employment sector," she said. "How does flooding the marketplace with more laborers to compete across every workplace environment – how is that good for the American middle class?"
CB…Oh, baby! http://t.co/mXHzro9Zty #ImmigrationReform, pic.twitter.com/Ip13Ox88W1
— The White House (@whitehouse) June 19, 2013
The bill has not primarily been sold as a deficit-reduction measure or a way to increase GNP per capita by 0.2 percent in 20 years' time. It has been sold as a way–the only practical way–of getting illegal immigration under control. That's what supporters are getting at when they say that the status quo is unacceptable, that it's a de facto amnesty, and that nothing could be worse than not passing a bill. Now the CBO tells us that under the bill we will have only 25 percent less illegal immigration than it expects under current law…
It is certainly open to supporters of the bill to dispute the CBO's pessimistic projection about future illegal immigration. But if they do that, they will have to also throw out the deficit and GNP numbers they've been touting, since as I understand it those projections are based on the number of people that are expected to be here.
Chuck Schumer said recently that passage of the legislation will ensure that "Illegal immigration will be a thing of the past." Rubio and Graham have made the same claim, repeatedly. But the CBO projects 4.8 million new illegal immigrants and their U.S.-born children will be living in the country by 2023 if the bill becomes law, compared to 6.4 million without it. (This is the 25% reduction Andrew Stiles noted below.) The report doesn't break out the number of U.S.-born children included in that 4.8 million number, but let's say, for round-number purposes, there would be 4 million new illegal aliens a decade from now. The report also assumes that only 8 million of the current illegals will receive amnesty, leaving 3.5 million still here illegally (if there are about 11.5 million illegals now, as is likely). Assuming further that half a million of them would die or go home over the next decade, that would seem to imply, based on CBO's own figures, that there would be 7 million illegal aliens living here 10 years after the bill's passage. Does that sound like illegal immigration will have become "a thing of the past"?…
And if the amnesty-pushers claim the CBO is wrong about its projections of continued mass illegal immigration, then what else is it wrong about?
"This gang of 8 bill is a disaster", Cruz began. "We're hearing the exact same empty promises as 1986. It grants legalization now, and promises that sometime in the future, trust us *wink wink* we'll secure the border. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame in me."

Periodic lane closures planned along I-25 to fix potholes, uneven surfaces
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Drivers commuting on Interstate 25 will encounter periodic two-lane closures during the next several months as workers fix pot holes and uneven surfaces.
The I-25 expansion project added one lane in each direction of the interstate between State Highway 105 in Monument and Woodmen Road in Colorado Springs. The third lane is open northbound. Workers still need to finish a four-mile stretch southbound between State Highway 105 and North Gate Boulevard.
Workers still need to lay down the final layer of asphalt. That work will be completed during the spring and summer when the temperature increases.
Without that final layer of asphalt, the road is prone to pot holes and the surface of the road in some areas is uneven.
"You can tell that it's not quite smooth because there are still grooves and ruts and stuff like that," said Greg Nowlin.
"It's not really as bad as it looks but it's not the greatest ride," said Christi Maggard.
Workers will fix pot holes and problem areas as they arise, but it will require lanes to be closed while the work is completed.
"I'm not looking forward to if they do close down the lanes again, it slows things down," said Dusty LaPerriere. "I'm on the clock when I'm driving and it adds more money for my employer to have to pay, for us to sit in traffic, and time out of my day that I spend with my family."
A press release sent out by I-25 Expansion Project did not outline specific times the lanes will be closed but said the closures would happen between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD review: A uniquely versatile pro-worthy alternativeBy Kevin Carter - Friday February 08 2013 Lens Review
Tamron SP 24-70mm F2.8 Di VC USD Canon mounted on Canon EOS5D Mark II Vs Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM mounted on Canon EOS5D Mark II Vs Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED mounted on Nikon D3x
In our first comparison, with an overall DxOMark Score of 24 the Tamron matches the high-regarded $1,900 Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8G ED but can't quite match the category leader, the optically awesome but costly $2,300 Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8L II USM.
Looking at the Lens Metrics Scores for Transmission, Distortion, Vignetting and Chromatic Aberration it would seem the Tamron should be ahead, but they don't tell the whole story.
Look at the overall DxOMark Score and the linear scale and gauge behind it. The score is an average result based on the lens performance over the various focal lengths (when tested on a specific camera), and the blue-color gauge shows the range of results.
If the gauge is wider, or larger, as it is for both the Tamron and Nikon lenses, it means the performance isn't consistent at each focal length. Notice the narrow range of results for the Canon lens, it's a simply a superb performer throughout the zoom range. In the case of the Tamron, and Nikon in this instance, both lenses show a noticeable loss of sharpness in the mid-to-longer focal lengths, and not only in the centre of the frame but also at the edges and corners.
One area where the Tamron surpasses both the formidable Canon and the Nikon lens is in the control of troublesome lateral chromatic aberration. Like the pricier Canon and Nikon zooms, the Tamron has a complex optical formula including multiple low-dispersion (SLD in Tamron parlance) glass elements, three molded aspheric and one-double sided aspheric element but the result is the Tamron has the lowest chromatic aberration of the three. Perhaps not surprisingly, the heaviest effects when visible occur at its widest setting over the f/2.8-8.0 range.
Despite taking 82mm filters it's the most compact at 108.5mm in length but falls between the two in weight at 825g (the Canon is 113mm in length, weighs 805g, and takes similar size filters whereas the Nikkor has a 77mm filter thread measures 133mm front to back and weighs in at 900g).
Tamron SP 24-70mm F2.8 Di VC USD Vs Canon mounted on a Canon EOS 5D MKII Vs EF 24-70mm F4L IS USM mounted on a Canon EOS 5D MKII Vs Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 IF FX DG HSM Canon mounted on a Canon EOS 5D MKII
In our final comparison, we've pitched the Tamron with the recently announced Canon EF 24-70mm f4L IS USM. Although it has stabilization and an ultrasonic motor it's more compact at 93mm in length, takes 77mm filters and weighs just 600g. However, it loses a stop of light and retails for $1,499. With low levels of CA, vignetting and distortion the new mid-speed Canon is a good performer optically, but it has some off-axis softness wide-open particularly at 50mm.
Our other contender should be no stranger to Tamron, Sigma is largest independent lens maker in Japan and has offered a couple of 24-70mm f2.8 designs. The latest, the 24-70mm f2.8 EX DG IF HSM has the usual exotic mix of glass, standard 0.38m minimum focus distance and has an ultrasonic motor for fast near silent AF and takes 82mm filters, but it lacks any form of image stabilization. However, at 790g it's the lightest of the f2.8 models and at $899 it's the most modestly priced. It has very high central sharpness at the wider end at maximum aperture that improves across the frame on stopping down but sharpness drops off quite dramatically at 50mm. It has also has heavier barrel distortion and higher levels of chromatic aberration.

ERROR: DXO Mark for Tamron 24-70mm F/2.8 on 5D Mark III
How can the Tamron 24-70mm F/2.8 have a DXO Mark Score of 24 on the Canon 5D Mark II, but be significantly lower on the Canon 5D Mark III? It seems the data is incorrect. Please look into this.

Re: ERROR: DXO Mark for Tamron 24-70mm F/2.8 on 5D Mark III
Hi Dave,
Thanks for your interest in DxOMark and for your feedback. However, we maintain that scores are actually higher with the Canon EOS 5D Mark III.

2.8 transmission?
how is it possible that a f2.8 lense has a t-stop of 2.8? and why only on canon (for ex. 5d3) and on nikon (for ex. d800) it is 3.2?
thank you!

Tamron vs Nikon lens comparison
Cameralabs in review of nikon 24-85 vr mentioned that it compares well with Tamron. I hope your test of nikon 24-85 vr on D3X or D600 coming soon.

Re: Tamron vs Nikon lens comparison
After holiday sales, I got D600 with 24-85mm VR lens and very happy with my choice of full frame DSLR and quality of the lens. Since than I am checking daily your website with hope to get DXOmark scores on that lens on D600 or D3X. There are a lot of those lens used and tested already with conflicting reports from different testing websites on quality of that lens. My friend bought 5D Mark III with 24-70mm 2.8L lens and we went to photo trip together. When we compared and discussed photos from that trip we agreed that overall quality of the equilalent photos is very close. Being an engineer I am waiting for numerical confirmation. I am pretty sure that the scores will be high. I generally agree with your testing results and your test data are are helping me in my future lens selection.

I am expecting 24-85mm VR test on D600 to come out this week as you promised in last post. A lot of people would like to see new 18-35mm 3.5-4.5 G ED tested too. I trust DXO labs tests for my lens selection, because I need to make decisions in few days. Thank you.

Re: Tamron vs Nikon lens comparison
Still waiting for 24-85 3.5-4.5 VR and new 18-35mm f3.5-4.5 results. Cameralabs demonstrated that 24-85 3.5-4.5 VR has better resolution than Tamron 24-70 2.8 at infinity. My new 18-35 f3.5-4.5 way better than 24-85 3.5-4.5 VR even without VR. Contradictory to your conclusion that 5D mark III is almost a match to D800 in image quality, I think it's probably will be a numbers match to D600 with consumer zooms :D.

Just a bit confused
Emilie, says "The reason is that the Sony Carl Zeiss 24-70mm looses some sharpness in the field, where it is outperformed by the other ones."
Something is being lost in translation. In what field ??? How can a lens that is rated sharp loose sharpness when you take it outside into a field ??? Please clarify.

Re: Just a bit confused
I am sorry, I indeed lost myself in translation :)
I meant that the Sony Carl Zeiss 24-70mm tends to be less sharp in the center of the (visual) field; it's its great weakness comparing to the other lenses.
I hope it is clearer!

24-70 comparison
Just having difficulty figuring out how the Sony CZ 24-70 scores low compared to these 3? Sharpness is higher than all 3, transmission is in line with both Canon and Nikon, distortion is at the top level along with the Tamron, vignetting it beats all 3, and CA is the same as the Canon (right between the other two). This should put is slightly in front of the pack, but then read about the 'blue bar range' for different FL - ok so here it seems about on par or maybe a little better than the Tamron and Nikon, but not as good as the Canon.
So how does it score a 21 when it exceeds certainly at the very least the Nikon (where it equals or beats it in all metrics) and the Nikon gets a 24 overall score? I know these are tested on different cameras, but how does that effect the weightings?

we had a plaesant stay at George´s Apartment in Piraeus. The Apartment is perfectyl located in the centre of Piraeus
The apartment we stayed was clean and very spacious. We also asked for an airport transfer and it was made in quite reasonable price with no problems. Contact we Mr George is ok but I would really appreciate bigger support before we made a decision and chose his apartment.
If I can make any clues for your stay in Athens - book an apartment nearby the sea and don't worry about transport time or cost to city center ;)
the apartment is very good and clean, near the center. But we had a chick in delay of 2 hours (14:00 instead 12:00). In general, we are satisfied.
We have had a wonderful Holiday in House Roustika. A fantastic beutifull House! Everything was perfect and we were meat with great kindfullnes and hospitality from our contact person: Eleni and the People, that lived in the Village! We can warm recommend House Roustika for everyone.
Amazing clean and cozy apartment with everything you need. great and save area, we really enjoyed the stay and can warmly recommend George as a host ;-))
Laura, Kathi, Line and Peter
George was an excellent house manager, replied quickly and in detail for each request. The house is very nice, quite and clean, very bright with a fantastic view on Athens's harbour and more. Everything worked well. Pireaus area is not so comfortable to get beaches and Acropoli (it took about 45/55 minutes) but you can easily get buses and the metro stop is about 10' far away.
George is a great host, his apartment is very pleasant and robust. If you are looking to stay in that area, then it is the best place to stay. George was very attentive to my needs and made everything possible to accommodate my desires.
I would definately recommed the Apartment to everyone. It is fully renovated and modern decorated. George was a perfect Host and always very helpful.
The location is unbeatable for sure. Great Areas like Plaka, Acropolis, Monastiraki, Kolonaki are all within walking distance, from 1 minute away to a maximum of 15 minutes.
Athens in general is allways worth it to go there.
Thanks George. See you next time in Athens.
The location is unbeatable - a quiet side street, but seconds from the Acropolis site, museum and the adjoining metro, Easy walks to all the major sites. The flat is nice - a decent size, good bathroom, clean, well appointed. Its a raised ground floor flat, so the views either way aren't much, but you only have to turn the corner for views of Hadrian's Temple or the Acropolis.
Although this property is not the most convenient to the center of Athens, if you have business in the northern suburbs, as we did, it is the perfect spot. The neighborhood is clean, with many restaurants and shops within walking distance, including a big A/B. There is a big park with a well maintained fenced playground nearby as well, which my daughter enjoyed. The apartment itself is very large and thoughtfully stocked, with a comfortable, well-equipped kitchen. While we had trouble with one of the toilets, everything else was fine. Beds were extremely comfortable, and it was quiet at night. The building felt secure and the neighborhood felt safe. We asked for cleaning and a friendly woman called Ellie came and did a thorough job for not much money. Management was responsive to requests. The metro is a 15 minute walk away, though it is down some steep streets and they are harder to walk on the way back! Once there it is very quick into the center.

Searchers come together to find missing girl
WOODLAND PARK, Colo. - Searchers are taking time off of work, dealing with the cold, and looking all over Woodland Park to find a girl many of them barely know.
People in Woodland Park are leaving no stone unturned in their search for 14-year-old Alexandra "Ali" Ponte.
Bob Piercedale is one of many people putting a lot of time and effort into finding Ponte.
"We started handing out flyers on Saturday morning and organized a search party Sunday afternoon after church."
People have been looking everywhere which include forests, ditches and even portable toilets.
Shelly Forman is a family friend of Ponte.
She says the group looked all over Woodland Park.
"A lot of people went behind the schools and down 24, just where ever we can physically get to, we been looking since Thursday."\
Detective Sean Goings welcomes the help.
"We keep getting tips and keep researching those tips and getting better information and were trying to find her"
Woodland Park Police received a tip that Ponte was last seen in Ellicott, and they will be looking more into.

Discussion in '2008 Playoffs' started by max, May 29, 2008.
Was it raining when you arrived? So Sheed didn't want it !
Here's my question about Sheed. It is based on a lot of different bits of info, but my mind has been stirring it into a poison stew. 1) Sheed gets buddy buddy with KG 2) Rip calls him out on it and contront him in the locker room 3) Sheed is embarrassed and goes all passive agressive on us. 4) He shows up late to the shoot around, he doesn't do the dance, he never says ball don't lie, and lays a major egg in the game (0 for 6 from 3-point land, and 5 fouls in 31 minutes). I can't help but to suspect that he pouted his way through the game. If that is true, then his teammates know it and Joe knows it, and Sheed is good as gone. Did that happen or am I just reading way too much into it?
Honestly, i don't think the Rip thing was a major deal, and if reports are true Sheed has been late many times and it's just been covered up. As for the no dance thing, i don't know what to make of that. I saw Sheed fighting for rebounds against Perkins in this game like really making an effort so i don't know if it's right to say he neccesarily pouted his way thorugh the game. But something was off. I guess we'll see if he gets traded and all the dirt comes out. The beat writers love to rip players after they leave, and all of a sudden all this "top-secret" info comes out.
You're right TaS. But mostly because Sheed has the best contract to deal. Why doesn't Hunter catch any crap for being an idiot and shooting off his mouth with Stephen A? What goes on in the locker room, stays in the locker room. LH knows better.
I agree with you. It is very strange how hunter has gotten away with challenging flip during game 5 openly; telling lockroom problem, etc. This goes to m theory that joe has too many good friends on the team; if lindsay is on the team next year, i will be very disappointed; lindsay comes off as very dishonest in the interview with stoney and wojo. Why is curry the answer?
dba, I'm sorry I missed replying to this. It's a tremendously good post.
I'll say and especially those last two paragraphs. Some depth insights on the whole issue that JD is clueless about. I wonder how the Hammond loss will effect JD? Right now, I think this club is reeling from the top administration. It is all too close, in-house and full of false innuendos. Throwing reactionary lines out to the clubs is a bad sign. You have nearly 50 million dollars on the hump line in a transparent cocoon whose maturation vision is focused on a first year butterfly. Say it ain't so Joe.
This is always an issue. Emotion is the enemy of accountability, both for and against. In the echo chamber of the local press, passive-aggressive management styles can flourish.

In a detailed blog post at CloudMade lays out keys milestones frome the past four years and introduces three new mapping platform offerings. The last news I reported from Cloudmade was about its in-game sponsoring platform, Zigi in Oct 2012. That was, from what I understood, the plan for a pivot away from mapping. Either I misunderstood the plan or the plan changed. It sure sounds like CloudMade is back in mapping for the longer haul.
The new products include:
"Mapsafe" family
CloudMade Mapsafe is a technology stack that manages personal geo data tied, and authenticated, to the individual user.
"Hybrid" family
CloudMade Hybrid enables geo data from different providers to be managed in the cloud and distributed to devices and applications on an as-needed basis.
Magellan uses the Hybrid tools for its SmartGPS, which will be demoed at Mobile World Congress this week, per GPS Biz News.
new range of CloudMade SDKs, starting with Android
CloudMade's NavSDK comes with all the features you need to implement your own navigation solution in a smartphone or dedicated device application.

Loan modification programs can help those in danger of foreclosure. And, there are proactive steps you can take in order to expedite the process. It's all part of our mission to keep the lines of communication open so you get the help you need.
A loan modification is a permanent change in one or more of the terms in your loan and results in a lower monthly payment. Examples include a reduction in your rate or an extension of your loan term. A loan modification is not a reduction in principal.
If you're experiencing a hardship and would like to be considered for a loan modification, download and complete our loan modification forms below, including the Uniform Borrower Assistance Form (UBAF), and fax all pages to 602-634-2993. Please keep in mind during periods of heavy volume the response time may take several weeks.
Loan Modification Instructions and Disclosures
Uniform Borrower Assistance Form
Short Sale
A short sale is selling your home for less than the total amount you owe on your property, a method commonly used to try to avoid foreclosure. For a short sale to work, you must find a qualified buyer, and your lender must agree to accept the sale.
A short sale may be an option for you if are experiencing all of the following:
- A hardship, such as a job loss, divorce or medical emergency
- Inability to afford your current home loan
- Inability to modify your current home loan
There is a negative impact on your credit with the short sale option, so you should explore all your other options first. However, the negative impact may be less than you would have with a foreclosure. You should contact a tax professional to become aware of any tax implications.
If you have a signed contract for a short sale you would like Desert Schools to consider, download and complete our Short Sale forms found below, including the Uniform Borrower Assistance Form (UBAF), and fax it along with the contract and supporting documentation to 602-335-2994 or email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP)
If you are current on your mortgage and have been unable to obtain a traditional refinance because the value of your home has declined, you may be eligible to refinance through the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP). HARP is designed to help you refinance into a new affordable, more stable mortgage. HARP is unique in that it is the only refinance program that enables borrowers who owe more than their home is worth to take advantage of low interest rates if their home is already financed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Desert Schools is currently participating in this program and has already helped hundreds of members with negative equity refinance their Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC) home loans.
In general, borrowers must meet the following criteria:
- The mortgage must be owned or guaranteed by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae.
- The mortgage must have been sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac on or before May 31, 2009.
- The mortgage cannot have been refinanced under HARP previously unless it is a Fannie Mae loan that was refinanced under HARP from March-May, 2009.
- The current loan-to-value (LTV) ratio must be greater than 80%.
- The borrower must be current on the mortgage at the time of the refinance, with no late payment in the past six months and no more than one late payment in the past 12 months.
For any additional questions, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our mortgage loan officers at a branch, or by calling 602-433-HOME (4663) for more details.
You can move forward in the application process one of four ways:
- Apply online at Home Loans.
- Call 602-433-HOME (4663).
- Schedule an appointment at your local branch to speak with a mortgage loan officer in person.
- Use the form at the top of the page to have a representative contact you.
Need Additional Assistance?
If you have already submitted your request for a foreclosure prevention alternative and are not satisfied with the outcome, your case can be re-evaluated by our escalations team. Contact us via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 602-335-5676 or 800-456-9171 (x35676). Please provide your name and account number, as well as any new information to be considered. A member of our team will contact you within 3 business days to confirm receipt of your inquiry and obtain additional information, if needed. Your case will be re-evaluated and resolved within 15 business days.
If you aren't experiencing a hardship and would like to lower your interest rate, you may be eligible to refinance your loan. For more information about refinancing your mortgage, apply online or speak with one of our mortgage experts.

About the Show
Billy Elliot was nominated for three Oscars, won three Olivier Awards, won 10 Tonys and became a box office smash on London's West End and on Broadway. Next, the national tour will be arriving in Ottawa at the National Arts Centre from January 1 through January 6. But if the success of the musical about a boy growing up in a poverty-stricken English town who wants to dance surprises anyone the most, it would be book writer Lee Hall. "I thought, 'Have I gone mad? Why did I write a movie no one wants to see?'" Hall recalled of his reaction to the BBC telling him no one would want to watch a film about a boy who wants to be a ballet dancer.
Even if Hall doubted the mainstream appeal of Billy, there was something much deeper within him driving the creative process. The scribe says Billy is actually his childhood story—only he didn't want to be a ballet dancer. Like Billy, Hall, the son of a shipbuilder and grandson of a miner, was creatively wired; a child who preferred drama and poetry to "manly" exploits like sports and fighting—ambitions that did not always sit well with his family.
"I came up against expectations that writing wasn't a job I should consider," Hall said. "There was a lot of prejudice and a lack of understanding. So I suppose that writing was my ballet."
While Billy is meant to be the story of his struggles while growing up, Hall thought basing a story around the desire to write might be boring to watch on film and stage. "Dancing and ballet seemed a good metaphor for wanting to write," Hall said. Once that was settled, the first draft was completed in just three weeks. The rest is history.

Pusha T announces new album
You knew it was coming… Darkest Before Dawn will be Pusha T's next album and it'll see release on December 18th. Plus, he still plans to release King Push by the spring. This news on the heels of "Untouchable" ICYMI below.
"I've been recording so much—I didn't want to break up that body of work, I feel like I had the producers doing things that they weren't usually known for, a little out of their wheelhouse. I wanted to give the fans that body of work. That's the music I love, and that's the music that my fans love from me. Instead of having those moments throughout King Push, let's just separate the game."

Well the swarm I caught 13 days ago seems to have left me.
Yesterday morning they seemed fine. Watched them for awhile coming and going as usual. Late Saturday evening, I walked past the hive and noticed that there was very little activity. A bee here and there, but nothing like it had been. This morning I walked past and again, not much going on and I noticed a few dead bees around the entrance to the hive.
Came home from church and I grabbed the smoker and went to take a look inside. Maybe a hundred or so bees in there and that was it. I am thinking my repairing my mistakes a few days ago upset them more than I thought. The comb I rubber banded to the frames was there, but looks like the heat got to it in it's fragile state- was all bowed and droopy looking. I took a closer look at the comb they had drawn on the foundation and it was actually drawn out on the frame with a slight gap between the comb and foundation. Guess they did not like the foundation at all.
I looked around the nearby trees, but found nothing. There is a creek with a nice greenbelt on it a few hundred yards away. I may go over there and search around for them.
Sucks, but there will be more swarms out there. Just have to keep looking. May hit up a local beekeeper for a frame of brood next time I get a swarm. That may encourage them to stay.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressman John Garamendi (D-Fairfield) joined several colleagues in introducing legislation aimed at ensuring federal transportation and infrastructure investments support American jobs and domestic manufacturing Tuesday.
"By strengthening 'Buy America' requirements, we can create good middle-class jobs," Garamendi, who represents a portion of Lake County, stated. "When we make it in America, Americans will make it once again."
Under the Invest in American Jobs Act of 2013, all future transit, rail, wastewater or airport infrastructure projects financed by U.S. taxpayers would be stamped "Made in America" and crafted with American workmanship.
The bill is sponsored by Congressman Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.), who used the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge reconstruction as an example of the type of project his bill hopes to address.
"Instead of steel cast in the Alleghenies or roadbed segments assembled in Alameda, cars and trucks using the bridge will be driving more than 43,000 tons of steel imported from China, which supported 3,000 Chinese jobs and was financed by U.S. taxpayers," Rahall stated.
A number of labor and manufacturer groups showed support for the legislation, including the Alliance for American Manufacturing, International Brotherhood of Teamsters and Steel Manufacturers Association.
In part, the bill looks to strengthen and expand existing "Buy America" requirements as well as require federal agencies to justify proposed waivers of "Buy America" rules.
The legislation would lay the groundwork for how an agency could waive the America-made requirements, which would be applied in a manner consistent with United States obligations under international agreements.

Ethan Self murder trial begins
Ethan Self charged with murder of father
ROGERSVILLE, Tenn. - A Rogersville jury heard opening statements today in the first degree murder trial of Ethan Self.
Self is accused of shooting his father in the back of the head in March 2010 in Greeneville.
His father, Greeneville police officer Roger Self, didn't show up for work. His supervisor came to his house to check on him and found Self's body in his bed.
Prosecutors say Ethan used his father's service pistol to shoot his dad.
Assistant DA Dennis Brooks read part of Ethan's confession to the jury. "I panicked because I didn't mean for this to happen," Brooks read from the statement. "I almost got sick. I was trying to think what to do and I decided to make it look like a break-in."
Defense attorney John Rogers says Roger Self was an abusive father and husband, stating that at times his mother would shield Ethan from his father's anger. "His mother would always say to him, 'Be careful, Ethan, don't make your father mad. Whatever you do don't make him mad.'"
By noon, prosecutors had finished with their first witness.
The trial is expected to last through next week.

Essentia Health-St. Joseph's Medical Center receives new accreditations
Imaging Services at Essentia Health-St. Joseph's Medical Center have received special recognition. The Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) recently awarded a three-year accreditation for both Nuclear Medicine and Nuclear Cardiology services.
Nuclear Medicine refers to imaging procedures that are used in a broad range of medical specialties - from pediatrics to cardiology to orthopedics - to safely diagnose and even treat disease. For example, the tests can include cardiac stress tests to analyze the heart, bone scans for orthopedic injuries and lung scans for blood clots.
Accreditation by the IAC means that Essentia Health-St. Joseph's has undergone a thorough review of its programs and processes by a panel of experts. The IAC grants this designation only to those facilities that provide quality patient care in compliance with national standards.
"Through the accreditation process, we assessed every aspect of daily operation and its impact on the quality of health care provided to patients," says Jani Wiebolt, President of Essentia Health-St. Joseph's Medical Center. "While completing the accreditation application, we revised protocols and validated our quality assurance program."
This was the first time Essentia Health-St. Joseph's had applied for the accreditation. The comprehensive application process included a detailed case study review.
"The accreditation is a 'seal of approval' that patients can rely on," Wiebolt says. "It demonstrates the quality of our services and our commitment to patient care."


text: I picked up this ratty Hawthorne off Craigslist a few months back, I think the seller is a member, (speak up if it was you!) I wanted to keep it ratty, I think I've succeeded. This is the second build I've put on here, hopefully it's better recieved than the last one was. Bonus points if you know why I named it "The Answer." This is the way it was when I bought it, minus the wheels and tires, which I moved over from my Schwinn DX. I switched out the bars, and threw on some clay brick tires that I got from Chimichanga. I also threw the skiptooth chain from my DX on it, but it was a bit too short. I added a few links from a different chain, check out my "master link." I bought a chrome Nirve headlight, but it was way too modern looking, not to mention shiny. This will make a much more suitable light, don't you think? Trainmen's lantern added, bars switched out yet again. Rollfast tank purchased from eBay, it had a horn that didn't work, I replaced it with one that did. I also threw the Nirve headlight on the back as a taillight. It's still way too shiny though. Also got my Brooks saddle installed. Sexy seat. Antiqued the taillight, and threw on some red auto light repair tape. Chainguard acquired from a guy at that "other" forum. I think it's supposed to be for a Shelby? Took it to the first ever SoCal Rat Rod ride. You can see my last build behind it. (purple) Redid the taillight lens, that tape was way too crappy looking. I removed it and painted it instead. Picked up a set of ducktail fenders from Chimichanga. a little time with a cut off wheel and a rivet gun, and now it's a bobbed fender. With the chain indent and ducktail still intact. Again, way too shiny though. Antiqued the fender.

2008 Jeuxactu previews GTA IV
Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 11:35 AM MDT | By rappo
French gaming site Jeuxactu played a five hour preview of GTA IV and have written their own review of the gameplay. After the wave of previews last week, not much of this may seem new, but here are some points worth mentioning (translated by BenDeR_):
The total time of gameplay in GTA IV has been given some contradictory reports. In 2007 previews reported that it would take 130+ hours, the later previews reported that it'll require 100 hours, while this one states 60 to 70 hours - we can't be quite sure of the actual timing, so take this information for what it's worth.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know you will enjoy using her stash and thinking of her as you do. The yo yo quilt is a great idea.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I am so sorry for your loss. I know you will enjoy using her stash and thinking of her as you do. The yo yo quilt is a great idea.
"Take your needle, my child, and work at your pattern ... It will come out a rose by and by. Life is like that ...one stitch at a time, taken patiently."
*Oliver Wendell Holms
I am so sorry for your loss. A sister is so special! When I read your comments I could imagine your sister answering you back! :-) I'm sure she is delighted that you are finishing something special for your niece. Enjoy this sweet gift and your happy memories.
Sometimes the best way to get closure and remember them is to touch what was theirs and talk to them about all your hopes and dreams. Sorry for your loss.
Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts and words. Everyone has been so sweet. I promise to post pics as soon as I finish the lap quilt I'm working on. Its a rainy day here today so a good day to sew !!!
Like the moon, and the stars, and the sun - yeah we all shine on.
Sorry for your loss. But going through all your sis's fabrics and talking to her all day sure helps! Good for you - and I look forward to seeing that quilt - and your sewing room!
Sorry for your loss. Make beautiful quilt in honoring her name. She is smiling at you.
Treat people the way you want to be treated!!
I too got all my Mom's craft supplies. Most fit into a dresser that came along with everything. She only made one quilt in her lifetime, but made lots of other crafts: needlepoint, cross stitch, sewing of clothing. Stuffed in this dresser also are supplies from my Dad's watercolor painting and lapidary hobbies. I have used some of her embroidery floss.
love your story, to help your feet fill a plastic bottle with water place in the freeze, once frozen roll your feet over it and boy does it help......let me know if you try it....
I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. I lost my brother 19 years ago, and I still hear his voice. I miss him terribly. What a wonderful blessing to have her fabric to remember her by. Have fun remembering her. Gina

I'm going to tell you something — we have fabulous health care in America, just so you know. I think it's very important — before people start griping about the health care system here — and of course there's always grounds for complaint — just to compare it with other systems around the world.Yes, and that's the problem. When compared with other systems around the world, we come up short, Bush!
As I indicated in a prior post, every other industrialized nation has some form of Universal Health Care --- and we are at the bottom of the infant mortality statistics because we do not.
Let's also not forget the WHO's report in 2000, called "Health systems: improving performance." As the WHO says,
This report examines and compares aspects of health systems around the world.This is what Bush was looking for, right? It should say we have stellar performance, right? Wrong.
This report said the United States is ranked 37th, one ahead of Slovenia and only two ahead of Cuba! This is the same report Michael Moore outlined in his movie Sicko, BTW.
As I've said before, every other industrialized nation has some sort of Universal or Single Payer system. Is that because we are right and everyone else is wrong? Doubtful.
As far as Bush's statement goes, of course for people like him (and Cheney) American health care is fabulous. They're rich, so even if they didn't get free health care because of their positions, they'd easily be able to afford any health care they need.
Do you seriously think someone like Cheney with "four heart attacks, quadruple bypass surgery, angioplasty, an implanted defibrillator and an emergency procedure to treat an irregular heartbeat" could get private health insurance?
Let's catch up with the rest of the world and move to Universal Health Care. The only reason not to do it? Contributions from pharmaceutical companies, health care lobbies, doctors who like the status quo and fattening their wallets ... that sort of thing.
For John and Jane Q. Public and the middle-class: it's the way to go.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Young birds can not only recognize the songs of their own species, but they also detect and show preference for learning the songs of their particular subspecies, a new study has found.
A researcher at Ohio State University found that male mountain white-crowned sparrows have a genetic predisposition to memorize and learn the songs of their own subspecies over that of other types of white-crowned sparrows.
These findings suggest that birds have a more finely detailed sense of song than scientists had previously realized, said Douglas Nelson, associate professor of evolution, ecology and organismal biology and director of Ohio State's Borror Laboratory of Bioacoustics.
"While scientists had known that birds prefer to learn the songs of their own species over those of another species when first exposed to them, this study shows birds have an even more specific preference for their own subspecies song," Nelson said. The study appears in the current issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Nelson studied mountain white-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys oriantha), one of five subspecies of the white-crowned sparrow that live in North America. He collected 28 birds between the ages of 4 to 7 days old - before they learned song -- living in the California Sierra Nevada. These birds were then tested in a lab.
In the first experiment, just 11 to 13 days after birth, the birds heard recordings of their own subspecies (the mountain white crowned sparrow) and those of another subspecies (the Nuttall's white-crowned sparrow), which lives about 200 km from their nesting site.
The results showed that the birds responded with more chirping when they heard the songs of their own subspecies compared to when they heard the Nuttall's song.
"The fact that these naïve birds responded more to the mountain white-crowned sparrow song suggests that, even at birth, they are primed to learn their own subspecies song," Nelson said.
Later, the researchers tutored the birds for 10 days by repeatedly playing them song recordings of either their own subspecies or the Nuttall's subspecies.
After tutoring, the birds showed more response (through chirping) to the songs they were taught - whether the songs were their own subspecies or not.
"However, when you compared the level of chirping, birds who learned the Nuttall's song still chirped quite a bit to the song of their own mountain subspecies," Nelson said. In contrast, birds who were taught their "native" song, didn't respond as much to the Nuttall's song.
"This shows that the birds are capable of learning the song of other subspecies, but they still show a subtle preference for their own subspecies song. The own subspecies song is retained in memory more firmly than are the songs of another subspecies, whether or not there has been any tutoring with them," he said.
After this test, the researchers then taught all the birds the songs of both subspecies for 40 days. "We wanted to see which song the birds would choose to sing themselves if they were taught both songs," Nelson said.
Nine months after the tutoring - at the age when white-crowned sparrows normally begin singing - 67 percent of the birds sang their own mountain subspecies song.
"Because two-thirds of the birds chose their own subspecies' song, it suggests they have a genetic predisposition to learn and sing that song."
Nelson also studied whether the sparrows had an even more finely detailed ability to discriminate between different dialects of the mountain white-crowned sparrow song. Results showed the birds did not discriminate between different dialects before they were tutored. However, the birds did learn to discriminate different dialects after they were tutored.
The study was supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Theo James (who plays Divergent's lead dude, Four) says he's not great when it comes to making the first move. "I tell a couple bad jokes," he told us. "Usually I make a fool of myself!" But Theo doesn't let those awkard moments get to him—and here's why you shouldn't either: "I don't worry about messing it up the first time so much because it will work out in the end if it's supposed to," he said. Um, #obsessed.

If you've seen Miles Teller in interviews, then you've already gotten to see him turn on the charm. But on set, Miles (who plays the bully, Peter, in the movie) takes it to the next level as the cast prankster! His best one? He left balloons in Ben Lloyd-Hughes' dressing room, pretending that they were from Divergent author, Veronica Roth, and texted Ben from a different phone asking him to meet up after filming to talk about his role in a flirty way. Ben totally fell for it until Zoe Kravitz (who plays Christina in the flick) let him in on the truth! "We were there for three or four months so you've got to pull some pranks to keep things light!"

My flat is located at the bottom of the Montjuic mountain and close to the port of Barcelona, in a centric neighbourhood called Poble Sec. The flat is located at the end of the street whose last block has a bit of steepness, and it's on the REAL THIRD FLOOR with no lift (attention big luggage), has two rooms, one is for you and the studio/single room is for me. You will be sharing the flat only with me and my cat. I speak English, French and Portuguese, so we will be able to communicate somehow!!
• 1.40m double bed. High quality mattress (viscoeslastic).
• Storage space in shelves and two free spaces in the closet, hanging drawers.
• Glass chamber window to minimize external noise (the area is already quiet).
• Central heating in winter and ventilator in summer.
• Bed linen, duvet, pillows and two towels per person.
• Relaxed and quiet environment in the whole flat.
• You can see Sagrada Familia at the distance.
• City map and touristic informations.
• Hairdryer in the bathroom.
As I said, the location is very centric, so you can reach the Ramblas and Gothic quarter in 15-20 min by foot and also to the Miró Foundation and the castle. Other Gaudi attractions can be reached by metro. The nearest Metro station is Paral.lel (5-8 minutes by walk from the flat) where you have 2 Metro lines (the L2 green and L3 violet) which take you within a short time to other interesting places of Barcelona. In this station you can also take the cableway to the top of the Montjuïc to visit the castle.
If you come to Barcelona for a congress or to the tradefair you will be within 15 minutes by walk or 10 minutes by metro at Fira and the Congress Palace in the Avenida Reina Maria Cristina. In the area you can also find little shops and quite an awesome selection of nice bars and restaurants.
FROM THE AIRPORT (Barcelona): You can take the AEROBUS from T1 and T2, €5,90 single and €10,20 return (this last one is valid for 9 days). You get off at Plaza España and take the Metro line 2 (green), get off at Paralel station, take the Ronda de Sant Pau exit. From there, walking distance to my flat is about 5-8m.
You can also take the PUBLIC BUS line 46, €2 single, and get off at the last stop next to Plaza España. Walking distance from there to my flat is about 10-15m. If you are not too loaded with luggage, this is definitely your choice of value for money. Taxi may cost €27-30 approx.
FROM THE AIRPORT (Girona): there is a bus service leaving the Girona airport with good frequency. It takes 1h aprox and it arrives at Estacio del Nord. The metro is in front of the station, Red line L1 Hospital de Bellvitge direction, you get off at Universitat and change to Purple line L2 Paralel direction, you then get off at Paralel. There are 2 exits, take Ronda de Sant Pau:
From there you have 5-8min walk to my flat, it is pretty straight forward.
Please RING ME when you are about to take either options from the airports so I can organize myself.
Please also read the HOUSE GUIDELINES. :-)
House rulesDEPOSIT OF €50 (in case of damages or loss of keys, etc): it will be returned to you before your departure.
I really prefer having Guests from 25 years old, but if you are younger and can assure me you have good manners and will not make party or hiddenly smoke and drink, then you are more than welcome!!
On your arrival day when you reach the building where my flat is, please DO NOT RING OTHER NEIGHBOURS FLATS. Please read carefully my complete address and act accordingly. Also please be careful with THE STAIRCASE WHEN CARRYING YOUR SUITCASES UP so as to avoid disturbing my neighbours specially at some hours of the day!!
You are not allowed to SMOKE in the flat, not even in the stairs of the building please, this could be anoying for my neighbours. Or to have visitors or to make party.
Sorry to be so picky but I need your help in keeping a good relationship with my neighbours. Thank you very much!! :-)
Detailed little House Recommendations are listed in a paper in your room. Please read them. Thank you.
Gay friendly.

>Does anyone know the maximum time bees can stay cooped up without defecating inside the hive? I have never seen any info on this.
I've seen one winter here where they didn't get to fly from late September to mid April. That's six and a half months. There was a lot of dysentery and higher than normal losses, but not that bad of losses. Most winters here winter doesn't really set in until October and they get a potty break about once a month through the winter.

Hello Everyone:
I insulated one of my TBH and I got to wondering if maybe I've insulated it too well so before doing the other one I thought I should ask. I made like a styrofoam cooler out of 2 inch styrofoam that insulates 2 sides, the back and the top. Will this make the Bees more active in cold weather and cause a starve out? Maybe tomorrow I will take a photo to give you all a better idea of what I've done. Thanks in advance for any replies.


text: I understand that a top bar hive is not going to produce as much honey as a Lang, all else being equal. However, I'm curious how top bar hives would perform in producing what has become the most valuable bee product, more bees. Specifically, could you profitably produce queens and packages from top bar hives, and if so, how would you go about it?

O.K.. so I buy two AR receivers. Then the internal spring set, hammer, trigger, all internals, etc.
Now I need the piston thing, rear stock whatever.
In totaling up these $$$. I really think buying a completed lower would have been cheaper and easier.
Are you guys really saving money building your own? Or is it more for the fun of building it?
Unless I am doing something wrong. I really dont see any money savings?

Residents living in sinking house still looking for help.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - People who live in a sinking house in Colorado Springs were denied help from the city.
Dave and Becky Ahl received a letter from the City of Colorado Springs that said it sympathizes with the Ahls' situation, but under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, it is immune from claims arising from storm water issues.
The problem started when the 100-year flood hit the Ahls' house on Sept. 11, a storm water drain overflowed and flood waters filled up the Ahls' basement, ruining the foundation.
The house is being held up by cinder blocks, jacks and woodblocks.
Dave Ahl is a retired engineer and he said his house has cracks because of the damaged foundation.
"I am frustrated and angry because this is my retirement home," Dave said.
Even though the city sent a letter saying it won't help repair the house, the city wants to fix the storm drain next to their home.
"We're trying to look at some of the smaller thing, what can we do because we don't have a lot of money," City Storm Manager Tim Mitros said.
Becky Ahl said if the city doesn't provide any help to fix their house, her and her husband may take legal action.
"I don't want the city to push back at us where we have to hire an attorney, we may have to," Becky Ahl said.
The Ahls said their home's value has dropped almost $100,000 and it is sinking by the day.
The city said it would cost more than $1 million to fix the storm drain next to the Ahls' house.
