Tania Luna:
How a penny made me feel like a millionaire
As a young child, Tania Luna left her home in post-Chernobyl Ukraine to take asylum in the US. And one day, on the floor of the New York homeless shelter where she and her family lived, she found a penny. She has never again felt so rich. A meditation on the bittersweet joys of childhood — and how to hold them in mind.

We enjoyed our stay at Lynn's. Clean and comfortable home and a great hostess. It's really easy to get to, and into the city, thanks to a great bus service.
We had a a perfect stay by Lynn. Nice room, nice host and a nice cat. Easy to go to the center of Edinburgh by bus.
When we will be back, we will stay by Lynn again.
We had a nice time with Lynn in Edinburgh. Even if she was ill and in hospital, she managed our arrival perfectly. Our key was deposited in a key safe and we had no problem to enter her home late in the night. Her sister was waiting for us in the morning. We used here kitchen to prepare breakfast and some lunch for the day. We also met Lynn later and had lots of talks with her and her sister. The room is small but very clean and nice. Bathroom must be shared with other guests. It's just 5 minutes to the N26 bus which brings you directly into the center. It was an enjoyable stay and i would recommend Lynns home very much.
everything was excellent.the lady was extremely friendly!!! only the price could be cheaper!
There were wonderful days in Edinburgh with a warm hostess. Nice conversations and we can recommend Lynn each .
Lynn was great. We felt like home from the beginning. The room was wonderful and clean. Thanks for all
It was really vet clean and good place to stay and also have cute cat in the home. The home from Waverley station about 30 by bus and you need to walk around 7 min to get the bus from Waverley station it's quite good because we got direct bus to reach home
A bit out of the center of Edinburgh and easy to reach from the airport offers Lynn comfortable and reasonable prized rooms. The kitchen is open zu cook for yourself. Everything is very clean and in good shape. From the kitchen you have a spectacular view over nearby mountains.
Lynn herself is a really generous, warm and welcoming host - even I left in between a few days, I was allowed to leave my luggage there! And if there is time, you can have interesting chats with her or get some recommandation, where its worth to go. If you love cats: There is an adorable and beautiful cat purring :-) So, if you are in Edinburgh, stop by an book Lynns rooms!
We had a wonderful time with Lynn. The house was spotless, situated on a quiet road in a lovely residential area of the city. Bus service into the city centre was available every 10 minutes, and the Bus Stop was only a couple of minutes walk from the house.
Lynn is a very friendly lady, very easy to converse with, and full of useful information.
We would love to stay with her next time we make a similar trip to Edinburgh.

Discussion in 'BIKE TALK' started by American Vintage Bicycle Supply, Mar 4, 2012.
GRILL? Who needs gold teeth when you can have a gold chain?
Can you say Hibachi rear rack??? Or a grill wagon to be pulled behind "Beer Run"..... 8)
I've got to finish my nephew's MTB first, a customer refurbish, plus I have two other builds planned before early June before I really start on the build-off bike. Now that I say, I better get my butt in gear. Maybe the Roadmaster I've been tinkering with lately will have to wait a while...
I know this is a dumb question but where all the rules posted for the build challenge? Im new sorry!!!
Here are the rules from last year.
More than likely they will be the same. Start date for the build is May 1 and deadline is August 1.
Then the winning votes for me will be cast in the days following.
If it happens to be an anything goes build I'm sticking with the original plan, though a much fatter rear tire may come into play, much fatter than the one you're already thinking about too.
And I will be mining for my own iron ore to start the build.*
*That's also a lie.
It is so cute how innocent and naive yooth can be.
It's alright kids, grandpa still thinks he's in his right mind, let's just entertain him until it's time to go home. :wink:
If it happens to be an anything goes build I will be genetically altering a fast growing bamboo to grow in 3 months and build the entire bike in the last 6 hours before the deadline.*
*That's also a lie.
I already have bamboo growing in our courtyard. Look to the right of this photo.
If it comes up missing I didn't do it! :mrgreen:
WOOOOT! ( me being excited) I'm in, LETS DO THIS!
Watcha got planned Eric??????
that way i can build a prewar schwinn!!!*
well....that and then those who have been going on about it can put up or shut up....big wallets arent custom....anyone can pay to have something done FOR them!
and maybe we can have bikes that look like bikes? i know...i know....thats not "pushing the envelope" but i personally like bikes that look like...well bikes :shock:
*that was the truth! well time willing*
My son has a question about his build candidate... He recently acquired a bare frame of a Schwinn S350 electric scooter. He wants to use it as his build off entry. We've read the rules and it states the "bike" must be rideable. Would this mean he can't use the scooter? I'm reading it as he cannot and that it must be a bike, but I told him I'd ask anyway.
Cool that he is thinking outside the box. I am guessing that it would be outside the rules too, but who knows.
I know there are push bicycles, but almost all of the definitions of "bicycle" that I could find define that it is powered by pedals.
This was briefly discussed last year and I think the term to pay attention to is "stock frame"
Now, check this out, definition of bike:
Noun: A bicycle or motorcycle.
Synonyms: noun. bicycle - cycle - machine - wheel
Defintion of cycle:
Noun:A series of events that are regularly repeated in the same order.
Synonyms: noun. circle - bicycle - period - bike - round - wheel
A Scooter has 2 wheels (bi in bicycle) and the repeated kicking motion used to ride a scooter is a cycle.
If he builds it to be foot powered, I would consider that a votable entry.
That's the thing, you can enter the build off and break EVERY rule, and in the end I'm pretty sure Steve would still put your entry on the ballot, but will people vote for it based on your respect for the build off. If he builds a scooter, shows his process and gives us something to follow, I think we'd all consider that a votable entry.
Kingfish, what's that plant growing under your spiral staircase? Maybe that's your inspiration for using folking bikes, motorcycle tires, and water skis in the same build...
Separate names with a comma.

{a shop update has been scheduled!}
My long-promised shop update will be happening on Monday morning, at 10 am EST. Finally for sale will be most, though not all, of the wall panels I have been making for the past month. I originally intended only to make small panels, but, you know, my hands and excitement got the better of me so there will be some larger panels available as well {as pictured above!}.
I'm so excited. Farewell until Monday then, when we will speak again!

Why don't bikes stop at stop signs?
Original post made by Leo, University South, on Jul 16, 2007
It may be against traffic laws, but it's very reasonable that cyclists don't stop at stop signs unless traffic is heavy (or a car is already going through). Remember, the lost momentum from stopping a bike comes from the biker's legs and not from an easy press on the gas pedal.
The real solution to this problem is not simply making it illegal for bikers to not stop at stop signs, but to make better trails/paths/roads for cyclists that remove all but the most necessary stop lights and signs. Bryant St's as a bike boulevard has gone more than halfway there, but more can (and should be done).
If you love to drive your car around and hate cyclists, try riding a bike around and see what it's like when you get cut off by a car, or have a smog-test-failing truck just ahead of you polluting your lungs. Your heart and legs (not to mention waistline) will thank you.

No, Leo, it isn't very reasonable for cyclists to ignore the traffic laws and ride on through stop signs. I ride, and frankly, it's not that much effort to get going again...and you're riding partly for exercise, aren't you? You're using the same argument all those drivers use when they say they shouldn't have to come to a full stop if there's no one around or there's only light traffic. It doesn't wash.

The Sunday Driver is a thing of the past. Motorists, like most bikers, are going somewhere, not just lollygaggling. Sharing the road is not easier when you feel superior entitlement.
a resident of University South
on Jul 17, 2007 at 3:44 am
You may not think it's reasonable to ignore some traffic laws while biking, but I don't think it's reasonable to drive every day to work. Sadly, there's no law against laziness and cheap gas almost begs you to commute hundreds of miles a week.
Yes, I bike partly for health, partly for fun, and partly for saving money (having no car == big bucks!). No, I don't feel a sense of entitlement while on the road, but I *do* feel that when driving you must pay extra attention to cyclists.
Use your turn signals! Don't fly through red lights at bike crossings! Don't pass a cyclist and then stay just enough ahead to pump out your exhaust in their face.

Pray tell why was this massive infrastructure of roads built
in this country. For bicycles?

Fair enough, Leo, if cyclists will:
stop passing on the rightin the same LANE in traffic
stop switching between pedestrian rules and car rules on a whim
stop threading in and out of bike lanes without signaling, looking, or for any percievable reason
stop riding in automotive lanes when there is a bike lane
make the smallest effort to get out of the way and allow a driver to make a right turn at a stop light
stop drafting close behind cars in traffic
I could go on. and on.

In my experience, one lone cyclist can either make life very difficult for a driver or be a pleasure to share the road with. It is when we get a family or group of friends together that the real problems arise. I have seen parents almost acting like sheep dogs to ensure that their tiny children are protected on the roads and to do this they are teaching them a slanted message. Children under 10 are a danger to themselves on busy roads, let alone residential roads. Groups of friends, whether children or adults, should not be riding two or more abreast.
And while I am at it, we never know if a cyclist is one who chooses to stop at a stop sign or not, therefore all cyclists approaching stop signs are a potential danger.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Jul 17, 2007 at 10:35 am
Have you noticed that quite a few cars fail to come to a complete stop at stop signs? They do the "California Roll" at varying speeds. Some of them don't even slow down at a stop sign.
Relatively speaking more cars reduce their momentum at stop signs more than bicycle,s but even at slow speeds, a car's momentum is much larger than a bicyclist's.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Jul 17, 2007 at 10:43 am
A car not coming to a complete stop does not mean that he is not paying attention, much more that they are watching the road/traffic/pedestrians rather than their speedo. A cyclist not stopping at a stop sign shows lack of road sense.

Hear, hear, Eric
Bicycles have hand brakes for a reason. Use them, please.
Bicyclists need to start getting ticketed. Being on a bike does not give you a free pass to run stop signs.
a resident of another community

Everyone should obey the rules of the road, not just drivers. I work in Palo Alto and enjoy strolling around the streets on foot, but I do not enjoy having to dodge bicyclists who run stop signs. In the last two weeks I have nearly been hit twice while walking across the street. I stopped, looked both ways, then entered the intersection. Both times a bicycle whizzed out of nowhere without even pausing for the stop sign, and I had to jump back, heart pounding. Please, everyone, be careful and obey the road rules. It's getting scary out there.
a resident of Charleston Gardens
on Jul 17, 2007 at 12:08 pm
I bike to work almost all the time. Bicyclists as well as motor vehicle operators are required to obey the law. The stop signs and lights are there to make us safer. The same with speed limits, using signal lights (or hand signals for cyclists), and lane markings. Yes, stopping does slow down a cyclists and require energy. Yes stopping does slow down a motor vehicle and consume more gas. It is frustrating having four way stop signs in the middle of nowhere for no apparent reason. I have had close encounters with both motorists and cyclists going through stop signs. I have about 25 stop signs and signal lights on my way to work. Nevertheless, for the safety of all, please everyone obey the laws and respect others on the road. If you think some stop signs are unnecessay try to get the city to remove them.

In response to Eric:
How many times have you double-parked?
-On a bike you have to go out of the bike lane and into traffic to go around the vehicle.
How many packages have been delivered to you by UPS/Fedex/DHL?
-It is company policy to get lots of traffic tickets, yet this puts me in danger every time I pass a delivery truck.
How many times have you stopped in the bike lane or across the sidewalk when leaving a parking lot?
-I need to make sure you've seen me and I must bike around the front of your stupid SUV.
How many times have you taken a turn without signaling?
-I have to venture a guess and imagine where you're going to go.
All I ask is this: Be thoughtful when driving and always assume there's someone else around (either cyclist or pedestrian) who doesn't know if you're going to turn. And I have every right to be in the car lane if there is no bike lane or if the bike lane is obstructed.
And in response to "yoriko says....":
The roads were built in the US to support commerce, they have nothing to do with efficiency. Train tracks were dug up by General Motors front companies with the intention of getting rid of light rail and enslaving everyone to the internal combustion engine.

It's time to pare down el camino to 4 lanes and make a fast light rail line down the peninsula! Just add some bike racks!
a resident of Crescent Park
on Jul 17, 2007 at 3:46 pm
I never double park and don't live on a street where UPS, etc. parking is a problem. I don't block sidewalks or bike lanes. I always use my turn signal.
In addition:
I stop and wait for bikes at 4 way stops because they NEVER stop.
I tell parents if their kids are riding 4 across in the bike lane.
I call the city when trucks (typically construction related) are parked in the no-parking bike lanes.
I drive slowly and carefully around bikes - because even if they are in the right, a car will win the battle.
I get angry at bike riders who totally block the lane forcing me to drive on the other side. I get angry at bike riders who blow thru stop signs, stop lights, go the wrong way down one way streets, ride on the sidewalks downtown and cause an elderly woman to fall and be hospitalized, etc.
Courtesy and following the traffic laws would work wonders all around.

I will never forget learning a lesson about SOME bicyclists ( I was one myself in my younger days) when I was taking a right after a stop sign onto a road which was completely blinded by a hedge. I stopped, inched forward to see around the hedge, then started to take my right...when a bicyclist came barreling into my car because he was riding on the left side of the road. He turned in time to avoid actually hitting my front rear fender, but then slammed his hand into my car to "teach" me something.
Did I mention I was 9 months pregnant at the time? Have you ever seen an extremely pregnant woman who is angry at such a person who endangers his own life and everyone else's, and then dares to blame someone else?
I doubt he has forgotten that very large, very angry woman coming out of the car like a ..elephant...and stomping over to him, yelling the whole time about being selfish and thoughtless and on the wrong side of the road.
Everyone, just be careful. Bicyclists, assume nobody can see you and will hit you.If you get hit by a car, it doesn't matter if you are "in the right" or not, you still lose. Cars, assume every bicyclist is unaware of you, and determined to zip around and over you. If you hit him, it will ruin your day.

Leo, I am a cyclist. I give cyclists a LOT of leeway, but I have no respect for the sort that I described in my earlier post. They make things worse for the courteous cyclists
(Oh, and two hours ago, I was behind a grandmother(?) and a child of 8 or so in a very busy parking lot--Piazzas if you're interested. The little girl was meandering back and forth in front of cars, totally oblivious to her surroundings, as an 8 year old will do. Did grandma correct her? Nope, she was doing the SAME THING! I was behind, waiting semi-patiently, but they were quite lucky that a car wasnt coming from the other direction, since they were using the entire two-way aisle.)

Every time I drive my children to school or soccer practice, I have to deal with careless cyclists putting not only my life and my children's life in danger, but also compromising our sense of dignity. My children do not need to see a grown man in skin-tight spandex. Because of this disgusting trend that leaves nothing to the imagination, I had to think of an answer when my 5 year old daughter asked me what that man had in his pants. This is America, not France, and we are supposed to have a little dignity here. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, if you are a cyclist, PLEASE conceal yourselves in a dignified manner. Whatever happened to full length sweatpants and sweatshirts? I HAVE HAD ENOUGH of cyclists barging into the drivers lane and forcing me and my children to stare at their spandex short shorts that leave nothing to the imagination. If you want to wear speedoes and short shorts, please move to Europe but if you are here in America PLEASE have some decency. My children don't need to see any more middle aged buns and upper thighs fully exposed in hot pink spandex. Again, as a concerned parent I find it really offensive that grown men would wear such appalling items of clothing, and I feel that the smallest sense of decency would lead you to cover yourselves up like a civilized person.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood

Concerned Parent
With all due respect, if this is all you are concerned about in the lives of your children, then I commend you.
Seriously, I think your observations are a little extreme. In a healthy family, a 5 year old child should have seen both parents naked at some time. Hiding away the human body is more likely to give them a phobia about their own bodies. A healthy interest is normal and it is much better to be asked the questions than wait til they are older and start looking for them on the internet by themselves.
Most Europeans happen to think of Americans as prudish when it comes to the human body. In France I once had to have an xray and having taken off my clothes I had to walk down to the xray room from my cubicle completely naked and no one thought twice about it. I know that this seems a little extreme, but it is only a point of view that makes it immodest.
I think that cyclists have enough negative publicity on this forum without being told that they are dressed indecently (a little extreme maybe, but not indecent).
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Aug 2, 2007 at 3:58 pm
concerned parent, This is too funny! You don't mention if you have any sons but if you do, are you also concerned about explaining to them what's inside women's shirts, or what's *not* inside their spandex? Loosen up before your kids hit middle school or you're in for a shock....maybe by your very own daughter!
p.s. I think guys in bike shorts are sexy. Most of them have great legs, etc. Carry on, men!
a resident of Greenmeadow
on Aug 2, 2007 at 4:03 pm
If you think it's healthy for innocent 5 year old children to be subjected to adult naked bodies then I don't think we can agree on anything any time soon. Our children are facing so many dangers in the world today with sexual predators and molestors and I don't feel that all this tension needs to be added upon by nudity and the near-nudity that inconsiderate cyclists are thrusting upon us. As a Christian American mother I feel there's nothing more important than protecting our children, and that DOES NOT BEGIN with forcing them to view innapropriate adult nudity. Parents that force their children to view them naked or who look at their own children while naked are grossly misinformed about how to lead a healthy lifestyle, and we need to put a stop to this sort of neglectful parenting. Obviously there is a much bigger issue here but in context of bicyclists I feel they need to take the first step towards decency by trading in the stripper outfits for something more approriate. If you don't feel the same way then maybe you'd be more suited to a liberal European country where adults and children run around naked together and don't go to church, but this is America where we respect our children's innocence.

Concerned parent,
Most spandex is padded to protect a biker's anatomy. It's why it is important to get gender specfic shorts, so the padding in in the right places. What you are probably seeing is the padding and not the body parts. Wearing a speedo like item would result in male bikers all running around speaking in falsetto.
Now my lower body is in great shape from all the biking in spite of my age and easy on the eyes; however, I hearby publicly apologize to anyone that has seen me in a biking jersey. The top half of my body seems to be a perpetual work in progress.

a concerned parent, do you keep your children from beaches and swimming pools? It turns out that tight bike clothing is quite appropriate, since it reduces wind resistance. Bike shorts have extra padding in them to protect sensitive parts -- women wear them, too.
a resident of Greenmeadow
on Aug 2, 2007 at 4:26 pm
to "Rs": thank you very much for you apology, which I do appreciate but I feel it's only the first step towards changing your wardrobe into something more appropriate, although I am not as concered about the biking shirts as the shorts, I am praying for people like you to take the first steps towards change
a resident of Crescent Park

Dear Concerned Parent -
No one is talking about exposing kids to nudity - I think Parent was just saying that in normal, healthy families, children have usually walked in on a parent dressing or showering, by the time they are 5. I agree that there is nothing more important than protecting our children but I don't think we need to protect them from bike shorts.
Bike outfits are not near nudity - think of them as sports uniforms. While I agree that on many they are not terribly flattering, on a serious bike rider, they enable them to go faster and ride more comfortably (less chafing, etc. from rubbing fabric), especially important to those who bike a long distance.
One of the things I enjoy about California (and I've lived in many parts of the country) is the tolerance of other people in clothing, lifestyle, interests, etc.
a resident of Greenmeadow
on Aug 2, 2007 at 4:31 pm
to Peter: the inappropriate clothing might reduce "wind resistance" but I don't feel that's enough of a reason to compromise our childrens integrity. it might be more "comfortable" to walk around naked all day but we don't do that in America because we know that it is offensive and inapproriate. it might "feel good" to become intoxicated and drive around residential streets at 70 miles an hour but luckily we have concerned parents like myself to prevent such atrocities. please don't try to come up with excuses for why indecency is "okay" when its our children that are at stake. I only take my children to our church's swimming pool where I know i wont be offended by careless people wearing garments that border on pornographic.

I am not sure which Church you go to, but I would like to point out that I am also a Christian who goes to Church regularly and aim to teach my children from the Bible and to protect them from sin in the world. However, I am not too concerned about what they see at the swimming pool, or when we observe cyclists, or even what they see in my home. I do not walk around the house naked, but there have been many times that my children have seen me naked and it hasn't affected them for the worse. They have asked healthy questions about my body and theirs, and they have been told honestly where babies come from.
I think that you are aiming to be over protective. If your children are at public schools, then they will see water polo teams, gym teams, etc. as a matter of course. If they watch sport on tv, they will see similar clothing on athletes at olympic events, etc. If you try to hide all this from them, then I think you will make them even more curious. If as yet they are still hiding their curiosity from you, there will come a time when they will rebel and start asking you "why". I think it is you who has an overly sensitive attitude and you should wake up to what other Christians are facing all the time. This is not victorian England where piano legs had to be wrapped in case. This is modern America and you must realise that children need to be taught how to deal with their bodies and those of the opposite sex, not protected in a misguided sense of virtue.

to "RS": I didnt know there was such a thing but thank you for letting me know so my children and I can stay far away from it, I may even speak with my church group about forming a protest against it

I do not want to get into a "which church is best" discussion, but my Church is not in any way a hippy church and in fact has exactly the same values as yours appears to have.
I am not trying to judge your parenting skills, just giving you advice, from one Christian parent to another, from my perspective. You can of course choose to ignore my advice, it is freely given, and I won't take offence.
You never said if your children were in public schools or private, or if indeed you home school. I just pray that they will understand why you are so protective of them when indeed they do go out into the big bad world from which you are trying to protect them.

my children certainly do not go to public school! I feel like everyone is trying to get me sidetracked from the original issue here which is that inconsiderate cyclists flat out REFUSE to wear appropriate attire that is not offensive to our children and general public decency. these excuses about spandex speedo outfits being "comfortable" or "safe" are just making no sense. what if your mailman decided it was more "comfortable" to strut around in fishnet panties?

Terri Judd finds a city with small-town heart.
In a small park in downtown Scottsdale stands a statue of former mayor Herb Drinkwater, resplendent in Arizona's obligatory cowboy hat. The memorial below reads: "His heroism is well documented. He saved a life using the Heimlich Maneuver, changed tires for strangers, helped a policeman subdue a suspect, administered life-saving CPR to a man struck by lightning, and prevented a bull from charging into a group of children at a Parada del Sol Rodeo.''
It is a delicious slice of smalltown in a city now better known for golf courses, spas and Louis Vuitton outlets. It may be dubbed the Rodeo Drive of the Grand Canyon state, but Scottsdale still has heart. There's an obvious city centre to stroll through here, where cool mist sprayed from buildings soothes the inhabitants in constant defiance of the desert heat.
Surrounding the late Mr Drinkwater in Scottsdale Cultural Park is a clear sign the burghers have made every effort to shake off an image of being a playground for the rich: an "interactive outdoor gallery''. An eclectic gathering of art from Robert Winslow's Mooresque Freedom to Robert Indiana's giant LOVE is dotted between fountains and giant purple flowering artichokes.
For the perfect slice of this city, take a swift stroll south to the Museum of Contemporary Art, a small but perfectly formed showcase of modern sculpture and more unorthodox displays including the young@art room, where students are invited to scribble their thoughts in an interactive display. A two-minute walk east along 2nd St and up Brown Ave takes you to the Old Town, a step into a kitsch version of Arizona's history and possibly the only Wild West town with a sushi bar.
At the north end of Brown Ave, the pretty Old Adobe Mission Church with its stained-glass windows was originally built by the Mexicans who settled in Scottsdale during the Great Depression. Then take a left down 1st Ave to Scottsdale Rd, which takes you to Nostalgia Electronics. It's worth a brief stop here, for its collection of brightly coloured vintage Rock-Ola classic jukeboxes.
Keep on up 1st Ave and you reach the Arts District, where hundreds of galleries vie for trade. At any other time simply follow the signs on the sidewalks that take you through a veritable open-air exhibition around Marshall Way, boasting everything from traditional bronzes, such as Herb Mignery's Passing the Legacy depiction of Pony Express riders, to contemporary exhibits including Michael Malich's Horseshoe Falls.
North is 5th Ave's host of boutiques, farm shops and corner cafs. Stop for lunch at Baratin, a cosy eatery boasting dishes such as shaved summer squash, oil-cured olives, radish, almond and salsa verde. Restored, venture to the Waterfront, an area built around an irrigation canal originally constructed by the Hohokam Indians. At the east end towers the dramatic Soleri bridge with its pair of 64-foot-long silver steel-clad pylons.
Over the river, along Camelback Road is a shopaholic's paradise for those with an extremely flexible credit card, as Neiman Marcus competes with Tiffany & Co for your dollar. For something completely different, get a taste of American football at the Fiesta Bowl Museum, an homage to college football teams across the country.
Back on the south side of the river, do not miss a peek through the windows of the Oh My Dog! Boutique and Spa, an utterly surreal spot where people take their pooches for beauty treatments and kit them out in sailor suits or ballerina's tutus before volunteering them in the model search for this year's calendar.
If the retail therapy gets too much, stop off at the nearby Herb Box delicatessen for an iced coffee. And when your Manolo Blahniks can no longer cope with the pavement, continue your Scottsdale tour on Ollie the Trolley, the vintage transportation that offers free stops off at convenient points across the heart of Downtown. Alternatively, head out to enjoy a range of nearby activities from hot air ballooning to off-roading. It takes but minutes to reach a desert of towering Saguaro cacti and apparently endless expanses of open land untouched from the days when the cowboys rode into town.
Whatever you decide, end your day with a sunset tour of Taliesin West on Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard. This extraordinary home was built by the experimental architect and his apprentices during the 1930s. Sunset accentuates its rustic hues before firelight torches casts new shadows across its quirky geometric designs. His students, many of whom stayed for life, were told to bring a tent for living out in the desert and black tie formal wear for his many soires, a fitting reflection of the vibrancy of Scottsdale today.

Thanks for the memories, Rosie
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
Ahhhh thanks bro ! Great, great memories ! One of my idols back in the day, tough SOB that blondie !!!
Was Simms one of the top 5 QBs? I know he played in one SB but I didn't watch any Giant games or football during that era.
Who cares if he was a top five QB... he's a legend to us. You Ole Miss fans get on my nerves. These are my childhood Giants, the ones that after 30 years bought a championship back to New York. They'll hold a place in true fans hearts forever!!
Was just asking, don't know anything about the guy other than he's currently a sports broadcaster.


text: I know there are some of you out there that have done it. I was wondering how long through your pregnancy did you skate? When did lacing up your skates become impossible? My OB has cleared me to skate, but I'm not allowed to jump, spin, twist or turn. So I'm pretty much asking in the context of forward stroking/laps around the rink.

This isn't quite as bogus as you might think. Romney didn't mention the word "change" at all in his first several TV advertisements. But later in his TV-ad oeuvre, he turned the word into something of a mantra — stating that "changing America always starts in Iowa," for example, and vowing to "work like crazy to go to Washington and bring change there."
So, is it the press's fault that Romney isn't currently known as the change candidate? Not really. Blame, instead, the candidate himself — who astutely sensed the electorate's desire for change, but lacked the gumption to follow his instincts.
Here's a telling Romney quote from CBS's Early Show, on the morning of January 4, one day after he lost to upstart Mike Huckabee in the Iowa caucuses: "Well, you know, I think the race in Iowa was really a very clear call that people want change in Washington. Not in the White House; in Washington."
That's nonsensical, obviously, since the White House is in Washington. But it's also vintage Romney: calculating, inoffensive, and ultimately ineffectual. Candidate, heal thyself.

Opium meth and firearms recovered in traffic stop
Crosslake police arrested three men in a traffic stop near West Shore Drive and Robert Street around 4:30 p.m. Saturday, March 9, recovering methamphetamines, opium, marijuana paraphernalia and a loaded handgun possessed by a felon.
Douglas Bert Melby Jr., 53, Pequot Lakes, and Benjamin Joseph Buchite, 23, Delano, were both charged with crimes.
The criminal complaint filed in Crow Wing County District Court for Melby states that Crosslake Sgt. Erik Lee pulled over Melby, who was seen driving and known to have his driving privileges cancelled inimical to public safety.
Melby was searched and Crosslake officer Jake Maier recovered an eyeglass case containing numerous drug paraphernalia used for smoking and injecting methamphetamine, the complaint said. Maier also found a baggie on Melby's person with 4.6 grams of methamphetamine, the complaint stated.
Officers found a black duffel bag in the back seat, which they knew to belong to Melby from a previous arrest, containing a loaded .45 caliber handgun. Melby was convicted in Crow Wing County of felony fifth-degree controlled substance crime in 2005 and 2013. He also has a prior conviction of felon in possession of a firearm in 2005.
The criminal complaint for Buchite, who was in the car with Melby, states that Maier searched Buchite and found a bag containing a powder that Buchite said was opium. A field test showed the powder tested positive for opiates, a schedule II controlled substance, the complaint said.
Buchite had also given officers a pipe that tested positive for marijuana.
Charges against Melby include felony third-degree possession of 3 grams or more cocaine/heroin/methamphetamine, felony possession pistol/assault weapon-conviction or adjudicated delinquent for crime of violence, and gross misdemeanor traffic-driving after cancellation inimical to public safety.
Charges against Buchite include felony fifth-degree possession of drugs and petty misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.
Crow Wing County did not have charges filed against the third man in the vehicle, who was arrested with Melby and Buchite.

Everyone asks ...
How far in advance should I book my air ticket?
Airlines usually release their tickets 11 months in advance, and this is the time to start looking for bargains. These early-bird seats are your best chance of scoring a cut-price ticket. As these cheaper tickets sell out, the price ratchets up, and airlines have become highly adept at packing their planes.
You should be able to secure seats a few months in advance without paying a premium, but book well ahead if you're planning to travel during peak periods — Australians are heading off shore in record numbers and not too many seats are empty.
Long gone are the days when you could wait around for a standby ticket and travel for half the price.
Three countries in three weeks is too fast a race
My partner and I are keen to explore Taiwan, Japan and South Korea in three weeks — in May at the earliest and August at the latest. We know we will make the most of each country, but the hard parts are the logistics and timing of travel between the three countries. Any advice on the order of travel and what time of year is best? Or are we trying to do too much in three weeks?
- A. Williams, Rosanna, Vic.
As in The Sun-Herald City2Surf, everyone travels at their own pace, but, to me, this sounds as though you would be sprinting. Each of these countries is a feast and if you try to cram everything into three weeks, you might cramp up with cultural indigestion, and it won't be relaxing.
I would be inclined to leave South Korea for another time, possibly combined with China or even North Korea if you want something different. You could, for example, devote a week to Taiwan and the rest of the time to Japan.
May is wonderful in Japan. In Tokyo and Kyoto, the temple gardens should be in the full glory of late spring, the days are warm and long, and you can visit Hokkaido comfortably.
Taiwan will be warmer and have changeable weather patterns. The island can be clear and dry or wet and grey, but June and July are typically sticky with humidity, while August to October is typhoon season.
Golden Week falls in Japan at the beginning of May. Many families will be on the move and travel bookings can be problematic. Hit Taiwan first, then move on to Japan.
Touring Italy is child's play
We're planning a trip to Rome and northern Italy with our infant daughter in the European spring. Can you suggest towns that are suited to easy half-day sightseeing on foot and family-friendly dining?
- M. Freeman, Kingsville, Vic.
A crucial question for you is whether to hire a car or travel by train and bus. Without a car, many of the highlights of Umbria and Tuscany, such as Gubbio, Bevagna, Todi, San Gimignano and Montepulciano, are going to be difficult to reach with an infant.
I suggest basing yourselves somewhere central for a few days, finding a self-contained apartment, possibly using Air BnB (airbnb.com.au) or Agriturismo (agriturismo.it), and exploring by car. My pick would be somewhere close to Orvieto, followed by two or three days around Siena.
Note that many of the towns in these regions are built on hills and paved with cobblestones, which can make them difficult to negotiate with infants and strollers.
For something different, head north and base yourselves in Como and spend a few days exploring the lakeside towns via ferry. From there, head east, with a brief stop at Verona, then continue to Venice.
Family-friendly dining is never a problem in Italy. Italians regard children as an essential and delightful part of human society, and eating out with them as one of life's pleasures.
Storybook counties have it all
In September and October, we are spending 3½ weeks in the West Country, including Dorset, Cornwall, Devon and Somerset (Bath), on a self-drive holiday. Do you have any ideas on places and events we should not miss?
- J. Sullivan, Annandale.
This is one of the loveliest parts of England. High on any list of essential stops in Devon would be the villages of Clovelly, Lynton, Lynmouth and Dartmouth.
In Cornwall, the must-sees include Mevagissey, St Ives, St Mawes, Polperro, the ruins of Tintagel, the Tudor Pendennis Castle, the aquamarine waters of Kynance Cove, the storybook fishing village of Mousehole and the sea-girt islet of St Michael's Mount under the crown of its mediaeval castle and church.
Dorset and Somerset are similarly endowed with lovely villages, gardens, historic houses and natural wonders.
Type "visit" then "Dorset", "Devon", "Cornwall" or "Somerset" and Google will take you to the official websites, with plenty of suggestions to help you plan a super trip.
A quality travel guide to this part of the world is Top 10 Devon & Cornwall, published by Eyewitness.
Young family should aim for comfort
My partner and I are travelling to Portugal next June with a five-month-old baby, and as we arrive in Lisbon, we want to know of any family-friendly places to stay in the city, preferably close to the water? Also, we want to go to the Algarve for a few nights — I imagine this area is much more accommodating for families? Do you recommend staying in Lisbon for a few nights — if so, where — or going to the Algarve for the majority of the time? We envisage travelling to the Algarve by train as it's not too far or expensive.
- S. Simpson, Randwick.
Lisbon is a minimum two-stop flight from Australia, which is trying enough for anyone. With an infant, you will need to stop and recuperate before hopping aboard a train for the three-hour trip to the Algarve.
I'd be looking for an apartment rather than a hotel room. Hotel rooms throughout European cities are typically not large unless you're prepared to pay a lot.
You might also find it difficult if you need to warm bottles or food in the middle of the night, and having breakfast with an infant is not necessarily something you want to do in public.
An apartment will give you plenty of room to spread yourselves out, and a proper kitchen all to yourself.
The logical choice in this case is Air BnB (airbnb.com.au), which throws up some real treasures in the case of Lisbon, such as a gorgeous two-bedroom apartment in the central Santa Catarina district for just $75 a night in mid-June. Or a totally renovated, loft-style two-bedroom apartment in an 18th-century building in Cais do Sodre, close to the waterfront and about as central as you can get in the Portuguese capital, for $150 a night.
Since the location is important, you can use the site's map to filter your choices. Air BnB is also a great site to use when searching for accommodation in the Algarve.
Each of the towns here has a different character, and my pick of places to look would be the elegant and patrician town of Tavira, which is set back from the coast on the Gilao River.

GEAR Production is a new publication offered as a supplement to Modern Machine Shop and Automotive Design & Production. Now anyone who wants to see the first edition of this supplement can open its electronic version here for free.
This new publication is a supplement in the sense that it brings additional, "bonus" content about gear production to subscribers of these magazines. However, there is another way to look at this first issue. It's about seeing a gear production as a supplement to your manufacturing operations.
For automakers and their suppliers, meeting the demand for more and better gears will require an expansion of gear production in this country. These companies will have to aggressively supplement current capacity with more and better gear production equipment to keep up. Likewise, all companies that perform metalworking operations now have new options for producing gears on machining resources such as multitasking machining centers. These developments represent an opportunity to supplement, even transform, their businesses.
Read this issue to discover....
- The new technology that is transforming the process and business of making gears.
- The proliferation of hybrid vehicles and step-gear transmissions.
- Three approaches to making high-quality, cost-competitive gears.
- The changing landscape of small- and medium-batch gear production.
- The promising results of replacing steel with carbon fiber composites in hybrid gears.
Also included is a special "Products on Display" section for the Gear Expo, September 17-19, 2013 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.

Elliott Carter
born in New York, NY, composed during the Contemporary period
His initial education was at the Horace Mann School and at Harvard, where he obtained a B.A. in English, in 1930; two years later, he got his M.A. in Music, after studies with Walter Piston and Gustav Holst. He also received early encouragement from Charles Ives. From Harvard, he went to Paris, studying at the Ecole Normale de Musique and taking private lessons with Nadia Boulanger. Carter had an interest in modern music almost from the beginning (in fact, he once said that he took his degrees at Harvard so he could be near the Boston Symphony Orchestra, which under Serge Koussevitzky's direction was performing a broad range of contemporary compositions at the time). But he also sang in a madrigal group and conducted choral concerts in Paris, and pursued interests in mathematics, literature, and languages.
After his return to the U.S., he served as the musical director of the Ballet Caravan from 1937 to 1939. From 1940 on, Carter held an impressive variety of teaching posts at, among others, St. John's College, Annapolis (1940-1942); the Peabody Conservatory (1946-1948); Columbia University (1948-1950); Queen's College, New York (1955-1956); Yale University (1960-1962); the American Academy in Rome (1963 and 1967); and the Juilliard School (1972). Carter was also the recipient of many honors and awards, including honorary doctorates from almost a dozen universities, many foundation grants, a Prix de Rome, two Guggenheim fellowships, and Pulitzer Prizes for his second (1960) and third (1973) string quartets.
His ballet Pocahontas, written for the Ballet Caravan, and the Holiday Overture (1944) are representative of Carter's early style, a fusion of Igor Stravinsky's neo-Classicism and the American populism of Aaron Copland. In the mid-'40s, however, Carter decided that the style he had employed to that point avoided some important modes of expression. Subsequent works, such as the 1946 Piano Sonata and the 1948 Cello Sonata, employ more dissonance and rhythmic complexity. Carter developed his notion of "metrical modulation," in which one tempo leads gradually to another through changing the note values in different voices of the ensemble. One starts to hear this process in the String Quartet No. 1 (1951), and colorful works like the Variations for Orchestra (1954-1955), the Double Concerto (1961) and the Quartet No. 2 develop those ideas further. Carter also occasionally developed dramatic scenarios for his compositions. The Quartet No. 3, for example, pits two duos (violin/viola and violin/cello) against one another as they play in different tempos and rhythms; Claus Adam of the Juilliard Quartet, which premiered the work, called it the most difficult work the quartet had ever played.
Carter went on to write a total of five quartets, along with a variety of symphonic works, concertos, chamber and solo pieces and, in the late '70s and early '80s, a handful of vocal works. He continued to be productive: Carter's Symphonia: sum fluxae pretium spei (1993-1996), which he completed at the age of 88, was received with great enthusiasm. Carter astounded the music world by creating his first opera, What Next? (1998), at the age of 90. Elliott Carter died at his home in Greenwich Village on November 5, 2012; he was 103 years old. ~ Chris Morrison, Rovi

I am happy, optimistic about the future, friendly and always keen for a laugh. :-)
I love writing, playing and listening to music. I also love hiking up mountains, camping and having adventures outdoors. I have a special soft spot for all things historic and love nothing better than exploring some old town or mining ruins. I also enjoy reading most styles of books and am currently writing a young adult novel (currently at 44k words.)
If you wish to get to know me there are a few things that you need to know: :-)
Firstly, I am a mother first and foremost. My purpose at the moment is to create a safe, happy home for my son. This sometimes means I can't spend all day chatting online and I'm looking for someone who will understand that. :-)
Secondly, I have had to become an independent woman since my husband passed away. I have to maintain my own car, mow the lawns and run a clean, happy household. I am not looking for a needy man who demands lots of attention and assurance that I love him. I am looking for someone who is confident in himself and secure. I want to build relationships based on trust and mutual respect.
Lastly, I was treated with respect, trust and dignity by my husband and I expect no less from any other man. I will, in turn, treat him with respect, dignity and trust him. Call me old fashioned but I am looking for someone who will love and cherish me and treat me like a lady and I am wanting someone who I can treat like the gentleman they are. :-)

The mummy at the center of an exhibition at the Penn Museum, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is more than 3,500 years old. And yet she is so well-preserved that she is known as the Beauty of Xiaohe (she-ow-huh). Unlike Egyptian mummies, this mummy was preserved by accident, due to the dry weather and salty soil in the area where she was buried.
That area is known as the Tarim Basin. It is a desert region in western China that in recent years has proved to be a treasure trove of incredibly well-preserved mummies and artifacts. Two mummies and more than 150 of these ancient items are on display in the United States for a short time as part of the exhibition Secrets of the Silk Road. "It is extraordinary to have so many important pieces all in one place," said Victor Mair, a University of Pennsylvania professor who helped develop the exhibit.
Silk Road History
Thousands of years before there were trains, planes and cars, people managed to travel long distances over land. The Silk Road is the name for a series of routes that connected Asia with Europe and the Middle East. Merchants traveled along the Silk Road on foot, alongside camels piled high with goods.
Along the way, they exchanged more than silk and gunpowder. As they crossed paths in the Tarim Basin, people shared parts of their culture, from food to fashion. How do we know this today? The objects found buried in the sands there provide clues about the past.
Amazing Artifacts
One set of objects that showcases this mingling of cultures belongs to a mummy called Yingpan Man. Though the mummy was too fragile to travel from China, his burial clothes are part of the show. His clothes are thought to come from Europe. But he was also buried with a glass bowl that was likely made in the Middle East. And the pillow he rests on? It shows the influence of Chinese culture.
Also on display are masks, pottery, silk robes, woven baskets and perfectly-preserved pastries that were prepared more than 1,000 years ago. The exhibition "allows us to look at the history of our globe in a totally new way," museum director Richard Hodges said.
The show already appeared at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, California, and the Houston Museum of Natural Science, in Texas. Philadelphia is the final stop before the artifacts return to China. To learn more about the exhibition, visit penn.museum/silkroad.

Winter ain't stopping us! The small biz train barrels on in Detroit
Good morning and good week.
I heard through the grapevine and confirmed it through a blog post that Hatch Detroit participants, the brothers Newman, and their brainchild the Detroit Institute of Bagels, have secured a location for their business. Right next to PJ's Lager House nonetheless! Soon, we will have our very own (delicious!) bagel shop. Well done, bagel'eers.
(I just noticed that this news was revealed by the Huffington Post yesterday, you can read their detailed account of the announcement here.)
Bagel shops aren't the only thing making moves around town:
The M1 LightRail gang, mostly foundation and corporale folks, are saying they will push ahead with plans to keep the light rail alive as an addendum to the regional high-speed bus system. Charles Pugh is an outspoken supporter of this. More!
Curbed Detroit, the real estate blog, revealed plans for the ground level restaurants that will occupy the soon-to-be-renovated Broderick Tower. There are three of them. Get the deets here.
And JOBS! Holy smokes, WDET is hiring. Ever dream of being a producer for the Craig Fahle Show? This could be your opportunity. See the job posting, a full-time gig mind you, here.

Give in to relaxation at Spa Sandos, featuring a well-equipped gym and a full spa with a variety of massages and treatments. (18+)
Learn to live like the ancient Mayans throughout the week with activities and performances inspired by regional history, culture and nature.
From the young to the young at heart, the resort has endless fun-filled activities and sports for everyone to enjoy during their vacation.
The Mayan people believe that the spirit of the jaguar lives in us all, empowering us to get out and explore. This adventurous spirit led us to this part of the Caribbean coast: an area known as Xcalacoco. In the jungles of this land, we use interactive activities that pay homage to a sacred Mayan element on different days of the week. Whether you're experiencing one of our colorful nighttime performances, playing the ancient Mayan ball game, learning jungle survival skills, savoring regional cuisine, or meditating by a cenote, you'll see that Sandos Caracol is much more than your typical beach resort.
Day 1: The Arrival The story of Xcalacoco begins on the beach. Mayan rowers have just rescued a castaway on a canoe journey from the island of Cozumel. When they reach the mainland, the people see that the man is different from them – white – and they are afraid. The village leader, the Chaman, orders to offer the white man up as a sacrifice to the goddess. The Chaman's daughter, however, pleads on the man's behalf. Overcome by fatherly love, the Chaman grants his daughter's wish and spares the foreign man's life.
Day 2: The Cenote Mayan legend tells the tale of a tragic love story between a brave foreigner and a beautiful Mayan princess. They met when the Chaman's daughter saved the white man's life when her father was about to offer him up as sacrifice. As time went on, the pair teaches each other their native languages, meeting secretly by the cenote at dark and forging a love so strong it could not be broken. One night, the Chaman catches his daughter and her new love together by the cenote. He becomes so enraged that he orders to have his own daughter and the foreigner killed. The Chaman calls on the gods themselves to see the pair put to death in an offering to Chaac, the Mayan god of rain.
Day 3: Fire of Life Ceremony In this ceremony, the crowd gathers around a clearing in the jungle to witness a Mayan ritual of darkness and fire. Surrounded by the intense heat, the Mayan Chilam gives thanks for everything the Great Creator has given us: the sacred elements of Water, Sun, Wind, Earth and Life. While the villagers dance to thunderous drums, the Xcalacoco community unites in a prayer for harmony. In this final ceremony, we promise to continue feeding the Fire of Life.
Adventure ActivitiesBike Path: Take a trip through the resort's lush jungle and on-site attractions on a path that takes you around the beautiful property.
The Cenote Route: This wilderness path leads through the jungle past a series of natural underground springs known as cenotes.
Mangrove Path: Explore one of the most important coastal habitats along Mexico's Caribbean coast! Our mangrove forests are filled with exotic trees and wildlife.
Mayan River: Take a tranquil boat ride through a winding river as you encounter native plants and animals along the way..
Nature ActivitiesBird Sanctuary: Admire a multitude of multicolored birds in a lush environment.
Deer Encounter: Observe white-tailed deer, one of the region's most graceful animals, in a natural jungle habitat.
Discover the Mayan Jungle: An abundance of local wildlife lives in the jungle! You can spot over 60 species of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians.
Turtle Lagoon: Several species of freshwater turtles love to cool off in our lagoons.
Iguanas: These prehistoric jungle reptiles can be found sunning themselves throughout the resort.
Mangrove Crabs: Guests love the bright colors and peculiar walk of these eye-catching crustaceans.
Plant a Tree: Sandos supports the conservation of Mexican rainforests in the state of Quintana Roo. Guests are invited to take part in this important program by planting a tree at the resort to commemorate their stay.

PSSSSST! Hey, buddy! Know how to bug a liberal?
First, though, what is a liberal?
The dictionary says that to be a liberal is to be tolerant, and, liberals are tolerant of everything and everybody except Republicans, conservatives, Christians, gun owners, patriots and constitutionalists; in short, everybody who disagrees with them!
While conservatives think that the government is the problem with America, liberals believe that the government is the solution.
Sometimes liberals get confused: Is it tax and spend , or, spend and tax?
Liberals consider marriage old fashioned and unnecessary except between couples of the same sex.
Liberals do not have the ability to laugh.
Liberals further believe that:
If at first you dont succeed, its someone elses fault.
Waste not and you wont be able to raise taxes next year.
If you cant lick them, pretend to join them.
When the cats away, the mice will Live! Mice have rights too, you know!
A rolling stone gathers no welfare check.
Birds of a feather do not believe in ethnic diversity.
A fool and his money are symbols of greedy capitalism.
A stitch in time is unnecessary, big government will provide.
Live and let someone else pay.
Too many cooks are OK if theyre government employees.
Georgy Porgy, puddin and pie, kissed the girls and committed sexual harassment!
Guns-not the love of money-are the root of all evil.
So, buddy, how do you bug a liberal??? Simple! THINK FOR YOURSELF!

• BRENDA were featured on the online program Serious Business, a NY-based show that airs on Break Thru Radio (breakthruradio.com). The band were in peak form, offering frank talk about divergences in their musical taste, the resurgence of the piano organ, and how often they fight with each other. They also played a couple tracks ("Girl Don't Grow" and the awesome "Boxy Music") from their forthcoming record, which looks to be a burner in the highest order. Serious Business also recorded episodes with SUNSET HEARTS and THE MILKMAN'S UNION this season, so local rock fans should have plenty to keep them busy. Visit blip.tv/seriousbusinessbtr.
• Alt-country group GUNTHER BROWN have launched a Kickstarter to help them raise $3100 toward supporting their forthcoming full length and tour. Their promotional video is a bold choice, featuring affable singer Pete Dubuc sinisterly holding a baby polar bear hostage (he's kidding, of course) while exhibiting exactly none of the band's deep, earth-driven country-folk, live or recorded. We wish them the best in securing the funds but would have liked to hear some more music attached to the mission. Either way, GB record their new album at the end of January, and hit the east coast in March.
• DOMINIC AND THE LUCID are taking their name reclamation seriously. As if repenting for having toiled in epithetical obscurity for awhile as merely the Lucid, the band prepare to play their first two records, Waging the Wage and Season of the Sun, in their entirety January 27 at the Big Easy, their first show in Maine with the new (old) name. Usually, it's enough of a feat to play one album all the way through, but considering the schizophrenic self-identification, two might be most appropriate after all. See them with progressive folk band LIT ON THE FLASH.

No smack talk here, I just want to wish your squad the best this coming Sunday. I look back on this season and I'm not entirely sure how we took you guys down twice this year (I even went back and looked at the stats and in one of those 2 games Grossman had a lousy stat line). We were able to run it with success but we have more talent then the Pats do in that regard. One other thing, we really should have won the game against the Pats, there was terrible officiating but it worked against both squads. Grossman also lit up the secondary which should be encouraging for Eli's chances as he's clearly light years ahead of what we call our QB.
I really think the Giants are better across the board then this Pats outfit and Eli should be able to hit 400 yards if they open it up (did you know Vince Young had 400 yards against the Pats midseason? Vince Young!) . If Gronkowski doesn't play it really changes the complexion of this game and tilts it even further to your advantage. The fact that you guys didn't have Nicks, Baas, Bradshaw in the earlier Pats matchup has to make you happy going into Sunday. I really think Bradshaw's running style could cause fits for the Pats (at least I'm hoping so). They establish the run and wow, Eli will light the Pats on fire.
Here's to you guys closing out your season in style and capping what's been a great season for Eli. I'll be rooting for the NFC East Sunday (and hoping we can land RG3 in the draft so we can be more competitve next year within the division).
Best of luck and Go Giants!

Reviews of this property
We have had a very good stay in Philippe's apartment in Le Marais. Little, but quiet, pretty, clean, complete, and at a very good location.
Philippe made us feel very welcome. We definitely come back! Marjo and Fieke
It's been a nice and beautiful stay in Paris, a pleasure to stay in the room from Philippe...
Our first Wimdu rental and we were very happy. Philippe was a kind and efficient host and the apartment was a cute central Marais studio, up a fair few stairs, but full of character.
Wonderful place to stay in the heart of beautiful Marais. Philippe's flat gives you the real parisian experience and the location is great. I would book again with no hestitation !
Philippe was fantastic is making sure our stay was a great one. His place has a great location. It was nice to be close to many places to grab dinner or a drink. It is a nice walk to Notre Dame and situated between two metro lines to see the rest of the city.
Charming, quiet, clean and well kept apartment in the Marais. Appeared only quite small, and "high" (5th floor) ;-) but with flair and comfortably furnished, all in all, really "parisierisch" ;-). For a pair of absolutely geeeignet. Philippe was waiting for us on arrival and showed us to the apartment and the surrounding area. The information on bakeries and supermarkets and the "marche des enfants rouge" were very helpful. 15 minute walk to the Ile de la Cite by small streets and alleys with varied shops and cozy cafes and restaurants. Highly recommended.
Charmantes, ruhiges, gepflegtes und sauberes Appartment im Marais. Erschien erst recht klein, und "hoch" (5. Etage);-) aber mit Flair und gemütlich ausgestattet, alles in allem echt "parisierisch";-). Für ein Paar absolut geeeignet.
Philippe erwartete uns bei der Anreise und wies uns in das Appartment und die Umgebung ein. Die Informationen über Bäckereien und Supermärkte und den "marche des enfants rouge" waren sehr hilfreich.
15 Minuten zu Fuß zur Ile de la Cite durch kleine Straßen und Gassen mit abwechslungsreichen Geschäften und gemütlichen Cafes und Restaurants.
Sehr zu empfehlen.
Nice appartment, small, but it's enough for a couple. There is everything that you need, microwave was very useful :) Philippe was very pleasent and we found water, beer and marmelade in the fridge when we arrived.
The position is very convenient, there are supermarkets, bakery, metro nearby and it's close to Louvre and Notre Dame, so we walked everywhere by foot.
Very nice apartment, clean and well located. The host is very friendly and the service was perfect. I would not hesitate to go back on my visits to Paris. I strongly advice you. Philip thank you and goodbye.
Très charmant appartement, propre et bien localisé. Le hôte est très sympathique et l'accueil était parfait. Je n'hésiterai pas à y retourner lors de mes séjours à Paris. Je vous conseil vivement. Merci Philippe et à bientôt.
The home is something special. It is small, cute and cuddly. The house is also worth seeing, and the location perfect. If you spend a few days there, you feel like a local. Nearby there is a supermarket, bakery, laundry and Metro. And the attractions in the city are within walking distance. We both, my son and I have spent a good time and it was just right for us. Philippe is very reliable and responsive. He asked again and again by email or SMS, if everything is in order. Thank you Philippe! We will be back!
Die Wohnung ist etwas Besonderes. Sie ist klein, süß und kuschelig. Das Haus ist ebenfalls sehenswert und die Lage perfekt. Wenn man ein paar Tage da verbringt, fühlt man sich wie ein Einheimischer. In unmittelbarer Nähe gibt es Supermarkt, Bäcker, Waschsalon und Metro. Und die Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Innenstadt sind zu Fuß zu erreichen. Wir Beide, mein Sohn und ich, haben schöne Tage verbracht und es war genau richtig für uns.
Philippe ist sehr zuverlässig und aufmerksam. Er erkundigt sich immer wieder per Mail oder SMS, ob alles in Ordung ist. Vielen Dank Philippe! Wir kommen wieder!

Thanks for the compliments. I saw a small wall hanging in a magazine that gave me the idea for the background and I printed pics of real dolphins to enlarge and trace for the center. I did take some liberties by giving them smiles.
When I quilted it I did "Rays" coming from the center on the top and wavy lines on the bottom.
