Very good and clean flat in the very center of Madrid (near Gran Via). the public transportation and the other needed services are all nearby. Very good welcome service. I recommend it to everybody.
Pretty convenient location. The apartment has everything it advertises and
functions adequately. The apartment is not large and furnished modestly.
It was easy enough to check in though there were a couple of fees.
Enjoied a cultivated and comfortable stay; for us it was essential to have silence rooms in he middle of City - perfect! Uta
It was a really nice appartment. Very neat and clean. Everything what you needed was there. Wifi was good.
Transmission of the keys went very smooth and easy.
Nice location near/in the city centre.
Arriving early and leaving at 17.00 was no problem.
Too many problems which seriously affected the vacation. Beware.
1. The Internet was not working properly. The owner told me it would be fixed but after 2 days said it was not her fault and nothing she could do about it. So I had to be running out of the apartment five or six times a day to to a café to be able to get my work done.
Owner refused to provide partial refund
I escalated the issue to wimdu and I'm waiting for a response from them
2. The listing indicates there is a parking spot. Misrepresentation as spot is down a very narrow ramp with three 90 degree turns only fit for SMART car or a mini .Very dangerous to take a midsize car so I had to spend a lot of extra money to park on the street or in a nearby lot. Again the owner took no responsibility for the misrepresented listing
The apartment had all it needed and was located close to the center of Madrid. A Metro station was close by and gave the opportunity to travel easily around Madrid. After a day in Madrid, it was perfect to take a swim in the pool. The pool area was guarded and open from 12.00 to 21.00. Communication with the hosts Maria was prompt and precise and everything thing was worked very smooth. I will recommend this apartment to others going to Madrid. Martin
wonderful apartment, clean, well equipped and convenient to transit.
Would definitely stay there again
We stayed here for 4 nights. it is a great appartment with two nice light bedrooms. it is in a really good area with easy access to the metro anf local ammenities. i would highly recommend it.
Susana, muy amable. El apartamento, muy cómodo y muy bien situado, tanto por el lugar (Museo de Ciencias Naturales) como por las conexiones (metro de Gregorio Marañón).
Muchas gracias por acogernos.

thats weird.....never herd anything like that in a hive......sounds like a catfish!
Great video! Interesting that you had a red-ish honey, so did I. I chalked it up to the fact that my bees are under my elderberry bushes and I have concord grapes near by. Maybe the yellow jackets opened up the fruit to be sampled by the honey bees? Interesting that you're 25 miles north of me and had similar honey....hmmm.
They definitely give fair warning when you get into the hive. I think I heard a beware or meet your maker in that growl. Intense! It's like they were sounding together as a group to make the sound of a larger animal. Nice Video!
Just checked on my hives and one was growling just like the example you had captured on video. I did not open the hive. It could be heard from outside. It is a strong hive. I was wondering if this is in preparation of swarming. I did get a split from this hive two days ago.
Still enjoying bees,

This was definitely a growl. Do you know if a growl indicates something specific?
Wolf Bees,,,,,,Apis Wolfsonii,,,,,,,LOL Wings on wood IMO
Queen just telling everyone she a beast!!
What makes you think it was the queen? Maybe it's a dissonance caused by an interference pattern in the sound. Where one sound bounces off another you sometimes get such sounds. A friend and I used to whistle loudly with him going and me going down and as the sounds crossed it made an odd third sound reminiscent of the one you recorded.

I teach courses primarily in media studies, digital game studies, and the anthropology of war and violence. As an educator, I see my primary goal as being to enable students to interpret media that they use everyday with a more critical eye. Many of my courses focus on video games, a medium that a majority of undergraduate students use on a regular basis. I view this popularity of video games as a chance to engage students with complex issues of gender, sexuality, race, and class that inevitably arise in any medium, especially games. I also deal with issues of violence, militarism, and war, especially as they relate to media. I see the bottom-up approach of ethnographic research and writing as an important means for connecting students to these issues. For this reason, I often assign (and train students in) ethnographic research, for the purposes of not only understanding a specific culture of media users in a holistic way, but also learning firsthand how a large portion of social scientists go about collecting, analyzing, and making sense of often ambiguous qualitative data.

BISGST 397 Topics in Global Studies: Culture and Violence
My research focuses on the electronic entertainment industry, and pays particular attention to how new forms of labor emerge through not only the making of games, but also within games themselves. I am also interested in the militarization of media, specifically in asking how games and virtual simulations take part in both the imagination of national enemies and in the recruitment, training, and rehabilitation of soldiers. As an anthropologist, I see self-reflexive ethnographic research (virtual and actual) as being the essential set of methods by which I go about discovering, analyzing, and interpreting data. For my past National Science Foundation-funded ethnographic research project I was able to move within the network of commercial game studios, government offices, and military bases that developed the U.S. Army's official video game, America's Army. I am currently working to turn this research into a book, and am now also in the process of starting new projects looking at fan game labor and software beta testing.

Post subject: The People Speak Week 4: the perfect gaming TV channel
There's no question about it. G4 is a failed endeavor. Have you seen how many episodes of Cops they play in a row? And how many of you would put a bullet between the eyes of Kevin Pereira? Don't even get GR's own Blake Morse started about Olivia Munn.
How can we fix this? How can gaming survive in television? Video games on film have been resilient all these years, and not all of them have been complete stinkers, but why is it gaming can't catch a break on television?
Describe your solution to the problem: This week's The People Speak is all about your ideas for filling an 8 hour block of programming. What kind of shows do video games seem fit for? How should news, gameplay, trailers, music, development, history, and video game culture be made for television?
This TPS thread will be open for a week. I'll toss my ideas in after a few days. Thanks to everyone who participated in the GotY discussion over the past few weeks!

Well, given that the only show that's been on in New Zealand that's even relatively related to gaming was that GameTV that was on a few years back, which disappeared from the ol' picturebox without so much as a murmur, reappearing on mobiles and then disappearing again, also without a murmur, I really don't know.
However, coming straight from the depths of my mind, all I can think of is possibly DIY modding shows (both game and case), a televised tournament or so, perhaps some interviews with the head honchos of the industry, reviews, previews and, well, generally everything that the gaming websites already offer aside from the forums laden with trolls, fanboys and naked lunatics.
By the way, what the heck is G4?

The true solution is not to have any televised gaming shows. TV shows such as X-play have terrible reviews, they don't fully review the game. Instead you see a couple minutes of gameplay and a commentator giving the viewer hype about the game.
But, to help make the video game industry survive television, I suggest more shows like Cinematic because for an half hour all you're seeing is a bunch of trailers. No commentating whatsoever, and it's your opinion whether you think the game will be worth playing. Also Cheat! I enjoy getting tips and cheat codes to use, the only problem is if you don't have a DVR of some kind...good luck writing the information down.
If you really want a station dedicated to video game, do what Tyrannis has mentioned...except take out the video reviews.

He was promoted to the CEO or something and look what happened to G4......
Anyway......I think the best bet is variety in programming similar to shows off the internet would be good. Developer Diaries, Talk Shows about games that are both serious and funny, a news show, maybe when E3 rolls around we get round the clock coverage of the event. Maybe something fun like Cheat! or some programming about video games like Code Monkeys was when it first came out....there is a lot that can be done if done correctly.
For me, the best bet is variety on the subject at hand that does not cater to lowest common denominator for it's audience. Most of us get our news and videos and cheats and let's plays online, why not tap into that for starters?

Gaming got started on TV - so its only appropriate that it should take over TV. SOOO many people play games, and video games are such a big part of pop culture that the people at G4 shouldn't be the only ones with a gaming shows. I think the write kind of info placed on a youtube channel would take off. And competition for the gaming audience would benefit EVERYONE.
You could start by publicizing gaming leagues and clans on the channel. People would break their backs to have their clans mentioned on a nationally televised station - for example in Cod4, Starcraft (look at Koreans), and Warcraft, etc people would sell their souls.Talk about user submitted content like, LBP levels that are insane. Pick up a reality TV show about gaming - like "The Tester" on ps3. Find out what it is like a day in the life of a: a tester, a programmer, an exec, a developer, etc. You could hold live events on the show within the games - give away stuff (it wouldn't take long to build a following if it was done right). Yes, hold tournaments especially on old arcade games.
Tyrannis has the right idea - Interview industry middle-men. Interview people like the kid who pitched the perfect game in MLB 2k10. Tour Schools that give degrees on game related graphic design, and find out who's hiring the students. An in-depth look at history, and how gaming is affecting EVERY ASPECT of human life - from military training to helping stroke victims recover. Cheats are old, and people like referencing them while they are playing so putting it on the station would be useless - that's what websites are for. Reviews are great but user submitted reviews are better.
I spend HOURS watching old game openings, my favorite cutscenes, and game trailers. You could fill a 5 hour block with that ALONE!!! I spend last night watching the FF7, 8, parasite eve, and soul blade openings - i know you all do it too.
Advertise gaming events, like Video Games Live concert - which was amazing, btw. Or allow colleges to advertise their gaming events on your program.
Every aspect of video games should be covered, from console - to PC to mobile. And especially FREE games (which is what I think can save the PC). There is enough stuff out there to have 2 sister channels covering the same content on different consoles.
The formula for successful gaming television is ENDLESS! Yes, a video game TV show could work if it wasn't revolving around hot chicks and potty humor - look at what ESPN did to sports. Thats gaming alone, you could choose to get into the technology of it, or the science behind it too. G4 has gaming programs, but I wouldn't consider it a gaming station.
GR-TV: The Revolution WILL be televised! DO IT DANIEL, you are the one who will bring balance to the force.

The thing is that all the big tournaments and all of that are all available to watch for free on the internet. And the kind of people who would watch them are already watching the streams.
The average gamer who actually cares about video games is beyond the need for a tv channel, and the average gamer who would watch the tv channel would also like to watch Cops and CSI.

The average gamer who actually cares about video games is beyond the need for a tv channel, and the average gamer who would watch the tv channel would also like to watch Cops and CSI.
Yes, the "real" gamers are watching the stuff online, and know who the best are in their games, and the strategies to improve their craft - but for the people who consider themselves gamers but only play Halo or Rockband - they DON'T know these things. And if someone was to create a central station to present this information to them they would have a very popular channel.
And I think that the industry needs a channel that promotes its interest. Someone who would rather watch cops than a game trailer - isn't who I want to be playing LBP with anyway.
All the big tournaments are free to watch online AFTER the fact. It would be EASY to fill late night TV with some Korean tournament live with American coverage of the event..
Daniel, i didn't want to like you, well because I considered you an enemy puppet of the state. But this is a good topic, so...:

The thing is that not only do they not know about the tournaments, but most of them don't care either.

I'd like to thank you for raising such an interesting topic to discuss about Daniel.
A television channel that is about gaming is certainly doable though a bit difficult as you must face problems that can potentially destroy the whole channel in a matter of months. The channel must be so that it will garner the interest of those who are new to gaming and those who are already veterans because the first group must get interested into gaming in the first place while the latter group must be shown that the channel can be interesting despite the myriad of gaming sites, streams and what not is available on the internet. These problems may be big and bulky at first but with the right people, the right mind preset they are but stepping stones to glory unmatched.
I've been thinking about a channel that would be all about video games for quite a while now. To be honest ... since I was a child. I'd love to see a quality program about my favorite hobby and I think that many would too. The material is certainly here, heck there is so much material for such a channel that I fear it could become too convoluted for it's own good.
You could have for instance, as some have already said, interviews with the biggest leaders of the gaming industry or those that have left a significant mark on it. Interviews with the best players of games that house international tournaments (CS, SC, WC, WoW? etc.) and cover the most known tournaments. Though you'd have a lot of competition I think that if you'd come with original commentators, good coverage you could win against them. Competition is good in it's own way because it would force the channel to become better than them and thus raising its quality in the process. You could cover the best matches of a certain tournament showing the key points of the match and how x player has won over y player with the z move made in t time point. You know what I mean ... with a bit of imagination you could easily make an interesting program that lasts over 8 hours with a tournament a lone.
Than you could have talk shows where you invite the CEO's or game designers of certain companies and fans to it and let them talk over certain games where the fans voice their likes and dislikes over certain things and games and the CEO's and designers explain why they made such choices, how will the peoples voice affect their next game etc. It could spark interesting conversations that could lead to raising a bar in the next games quality department. The talk shows could host those 'pro and contra' stuff where people discuss if it is well for games to have sex, drug references in them, religious symbolism and etc. in them or why not. If games really make people more violent, more probable to taking drugs etc. ... you know what I mean and are probably sick because of it too. It could help games to finally make those idiots that shout that games are the next thing to Satan shut the fuck up for once in a while once they realize that all is not that bad as they make it out to be.
A program about gaming jobs could also be added where we would see how a designer works, a CEO, artists, musicians ... much like the stuff on Discovery. And I'd love a history channel that would document the glory and dark days of gaming. Like why video games have become so popular these days or what caused the incident with all those destroyed ET games Atari made in the past. What was the consequence of that, what could have been, what is, what do 'historians' have to say about this ... you know like how these history channels do.
I also saw a nice documentary on the life of Mr. Lewis, the man who wrote Narnia, the other day and I must say that I was impressed. It was beautifully done and really showed nicely the life of the man who wrote, in my opinion, an awesome series of books. The same could be done about the life of Shigeru Miyamoto, Hideo Kojima, Gary Gygax, Dave Arneson etc.
Of course you could also have programs that could show you the games awesome music and the people who remix it and sometimes make it even more awesome (I'm looking at you OC Remix) and show people the most beautiful gaming scores. Like the classical Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Donkey Kong tunes or the sad ballads like Old Snake, Hopelessness from Golden Sun, Reminisce songs from the Attorney series and many, many others (I just said these because they were from the top of my head) because there are of course many, many others that are awesome. And have those who make them comment on their works like Motoi Sakuraba, Nobou Uematsu etc.
Then programs about video games in real life. You could show ordinary people and have them comment on their favorite games and why they are such, the hard core crowd and show their 12 foot tall statue of either Master Chief, Kratos, Mario, CoD blah, blah, blah and even the oldies who started playing games before we were even born (Tetris, Pong people) and try to find old people that still play newer games. A grandpa playing CoD BO, kicking ass whilst commenting? Yes please.
Than programs that the channel could make itself. Like making the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and other console spring to life and a little television show about it calling it 'Console wars' and each console could have its distinct personality. Other consoles would then have cameos or be even in the said show. All what I'm saying is more or less brainstorming. It could sprout a nice little comedy show that would not have the quantitative budget but it would still be a quality show. Heck you could even show babes or 'stars' playing games if you wish but add a twist to check if their real gamers by asking them questions (normal ones mind you and not those, how many swords does Cloud have that are bigger than a telephone pole (answer: all)) made by the viewers and let the viewers see if they are really genuinely into gaming or a just ... camwhores looking for attention. A bit blunt and if I offended someone, sorry in advance.
The channel could organize tournaments where old school games would be played, those that were once on the arcades, they could organize concerts where video game music in live could be played and so much more.
I could write about this for hours because it just my point ... the material for such a channel is certainly here but you need the right people for it. The people that love gaming and would like to share it to others. The second a big ass corporation would take over and do it just for money it would more or less mean doom for the channel or a certain site *cough cough*. I know that money is important, don't tell me this but I still believe that you can maintain a soul whilst making money. Don't have to sell it FOR money.
To sum it up ... for those for whom I made a too long post. A channel is certainly doable, is certain to survive even in these days if it will base on one simple principle:
My humble two cents. Hope you like.
Some dream of a story with a happy ending, but I dream of a happy story with an ending that never comes.

GR has got to have enough money to buy some time on a channel in silicon valley. Where a majority of gamers would actually care about the content.

DirecTV dropped G4 a few months ago and I don't miss it at all.
I think a videogame-oriented TV channel would be really successful if they hosted/organized their own events for games over Xbox LIVE or PSN, something that the average viewer could take part in.

The most powerful computer in the world, according to a
recent ranking, is a machine called Janus, which has 9,216
Pentium Pro processors. That's a lot of Pentia, but it's a
pretty puny number in comparison with the 20 million or more processors attached to the global Internet. If you have a big problem to solve, recruiting a few percent of the CPUs on the Net would gain you more raw power than any
supercomputer on earth.
Of course the trick is to get all those millions of
scattered machines working on your problem. The 9,216 Pentiums are all conveniently housed in a single room at the Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque. Setting them to work on the task of your choice is a simple matter; all you need is an account on the machine, a password, an allocation of CPU time, possibly a security clearance, and a little knowledge of programming in a specialized dialect of FORTRAN or C. Persuading the Internet to do your bidding is not so easy.
And yet it can be done. Consider the hunt for trophy-quality prime numbers. For two decades, the weapon of choice in this elite sport was a supercomputer—preferably the latest model from Cray Research. Beginning in 1979, the prime-number pursuit was dominated by David Slowinski and his colleagues at Cray (which is now a division of Silicon Graphics). The Cray team had to keep topping their own records, because they had so little competition elsewhere. In 1996, however, a new largest prime was found with an unpretentious desktop PC. The discoverer was a member of an Internet consortium who attacked the problem collectively with a few thousand computers. In August of 1997 another member of the same group found a still larger prime, which stands as the current record. Slowinski, being a good sport, offered one of his supercomputers to verify the discoveries.
The rise of cooperative-computing projects on the Internet
is both a technical and a social phenomenon. On the
technical side, the key requirement is to slice a problem
into thousands of tiny pieces that can be solved
independently, and then to reassemble the answers. The
social or logistical challenge is to find all those widely
dispersed computers and persuade their owners to make them

Can we end this thread - it's exhausting to keep seeing it rise to the top of the boards and be perpetuated.
The term "elite" is such a ridiculous adjective in sports. Who really cares what Phil Simms has to say about him at this point other than being a paid announcer and pundit to do so. He obviously has other feelings at play here given Eli passed him in the Giants record books.
Bottom line - Eli has two SB rings, is one of the handful of QBs in the game right now who even has one, and is amongst the very few in the league whose team can be confident they can win one with their current starting QB. We're lucky to have that. End of story.

Karen Roth
UTSA Spotlight: Karen Roth works for students' success and personal success as novelist
By Rebecca Luther
Editor, Sombrilla Magazine
(May 24, 2007)--Like a lot of nontraditional students who have come through UTSA, Karen Roth held a variety of odd jobs before committing herself to higher education: she painted houses, waited tables and once owned two women's shoe stores. Now Roth, who is associate director of the Tomás Rivera Center for Student Success at the UTSA Downtown Campus, has added another title to her long résumé: novelist.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
In 2006, Roth, who earned both her bachelor's and masters degrees at UTSA, independently published her first novel, "Found on 16th Street." The Depression-era tale is set in a Czech community in Roth's hometown of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. In writing the book, she wanted to honor her own Czech heritage and to immortalize a vibrant community and way of life that largely vanished after World War II, when immigrants her parents' age wanted to assimilate into the American lifestyle.
"That's my goal for writing historical fiction," she says, "that people will find out about different cultures and how people had different world views. But you do all this with the thrill of a story, of a narrative, rather than reading a dry history book."
Roth studied literature and journalism at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, but got married, dropped out of school and moved away by the time she was 20. She eventually completed her bachelor's degree at UTSA in 1996 and, a month later, joined the staff of the university as a developmental reading and writing specialist. In 2000, she became coordinator of the learning assistance program and later the same year earned a master's in adult higher education.
"I was 35 when I came back [to school], and I was just like a fish put back into water," she says. "The fact of the matter is working at a university is very inspiring. I'm energized by the time I spend with students."
Similarly, the tale in "Found on 16th Street" is an inspirational one, and Roth says one of the reasons she wrote the book was because she sees a lack of spiritually themed literature in bookstores and on the bestseller lists.
"[There's] nothing about personal growth, or nothing that inspired and uplifted me, and that's what I want out of a story," she says. "My stories are about people in transformation. That's the best story in the world, when you see a person coming out of difficulty or heartbreak or neglect, and you get to see that person begin to grow and change and really step out into the person they can be."
That's a story Roth sees played out daily in her work at UTSA, and she enjoys encouraging others to pursue their goals.
"A lifetime truly can be an adventure of learning. Don't ever give up on yourself because you think it's too late," she says. "That's something I'm seeing from this experience -- it's never over."
While Roth says she's thrilled and relieved to see her first novel in print, her career as a novelist isn't over, either. She has two more novels in the works, one of which is a sequel to "Found on 16th Street," and while she continues to do book signings and other publicity to promote her first novel, she's also trying to sell the two new books to publishers.
"If no one buys them, I'm going to go ahead and publish them anyway because I love to write so much," she says. "For me, this has brought back the joy of learning. It's the joy of doing something that you want to do, the joy of putting your whole heart into something for the sheer love of the work that you're doing."

Sometimes, small indie developers do crazy things. The Voxel Agents are no different.
When you hear them tell the story of standing at a train station in Melbourne, Australia, handing out 500 flyers with a link written on it sending people to buy their newly launched app Train Conductor on it, you think crazy. But, when you hear the money had run out, that they just lost the lease on their office and everything was riding on this one game they'd spent over a year developing you get a sense of the ruthlessness of chasing a living designing mobile games.

The Darkest Evening of the Year
Koontz's latest tale of a mysterious canine that devoted animal rights activist Amy Redwing brings into her home is a powerful thriller that should have the listener's pulse racing. Sadly, the narration by singer and entertainer Kristen Kairos is bland and uninspired, resulting in a near-tedious listening experience. Her voice is machine-like and conventional, droning on in a monotonous tone that leaves little room for improvisation. Redwing becomes a ditzy airhead from the get-go, which makes it harder to feel sorry for her when things eventually fall apart. Unless the character is a drunken maniac or soft-spoken nun, Kairos offers little shift in tone and dialect for the large cast of characters that pop up throughout. Moments of the utmost tension and suspense are lost in Kairos's insipid reading, a shame considering the story is one of Koontz's best in years. By the third chapter most listeners will have lost interest. Simultaneous release with the Bantam hardcover (Reviews, Oct. 29). (Nov.)
Release date: 11/01/2007

Hello everyone.
I tried to post much earlier on here but I had problems with my account and then asked for them to just give me a new one.
Most of you might be familiar with me as DeltaSquadBoss on the other forums.
My good friend Marcus and I decided that we wanted to give Fett a try. Marcus is known as the human CNC machine (as our friend Marcelo "TK 1389" calls him). He is a Master Sculptor. He sculpts entirely in clay. No practicals involved here.
What prompted us to sculpt was the fact that there were a few great lids out there but some were either not available (we're impatient) or the quality of the resincasts were not up to par. Being that we both had a background in art ( I work Hollywood and got my start in the ART Departments here) we thought "why not?" And so this is what we have...
Part 2 to follow.
Thanks for taking the time.

Kinky outdoor pictorial showcases Lindsay's perfect bodyThursday, June 5th, 2008
Lindsay Lohan has certainly gone a long way from her "Parent Trap" days. Nobody can truly say who's to blame for her self-destructive ways but fans are happy nowadays because she seems to be recovering from her rehab stint and behaving properly and staying sober. And with these outdoor photos, you can see that indeed, she has gone back to her voluptuous, pre-rehab days and is well on her way to being hot again! She's showing off her big boobs and firm, round ass in this steamy pictorial.
Remember that the few pictures here are only a small fragment of what we have in the site so click here to get all the other hardcore stuff available. Now you can see Lindsay Lohan looking her absolute best as she prances around naked and shows her stuff in front of the camera. Additionally, you can see her in various sexual encounters all captured and documented on film! What are you waiting for then?


text: I can't tell you if your idea is over the top but you wouldn't have hardly any competition in the area. The best gun store for service and knowledge I've found is Hyatt's on Wilkerson in Charlotte but their prices are high. Gander has a pretty good selection but the staff are just box retailers (except for their gunsmith, I think he is knowledgable). The indoor range would be way cool. I'm a member at the Iredell FOP in Troutman and they have a pretty good facility but all outdoors. I think the hoops you'll have to jump through to build an indoor range are going to be huge with lead abatement and safety. Keep us posted if you decide to to do something. I would defintely like to see a good gun shop and indoor range in the area.

We were very fast in the city and on the beach.
Even when you have Bad Weather, than we had Walk quickly To a Shopping Center.
We Always swim at a Jetty, 10 Minutes walk from the Apartment.
We were satisfied and would come again.
The apparment is really nice and there is everything what you need!
The apparment is located near the beautiful old city of zadar!
The owner and his wife are very friendly and provide at arrivel some information for you.
All in all very nice .... I definetly would come back
Anfangs waren wir ein wenig geschockt, da das Gebäude von außen sehr mitgenommen ausgesehen hat. Innen war alles wie auf den Bildern gezeigt. Die Wohnung selbst war in einem guten Zustand, jedoch ist der Standard den man aus Deutschland kennt nicht geboten. Es sollte jetzt aber keinen davon abhalten diese Ferienwohnung zu mieten. Man schläft und duscht nur in der Wohnung
Was auf jeden Fall für die Wohnung spricht:
- Preis/Leistung ist sehr gut
- 2 Min Fußweg in die Stadt (Nachtleben)
- Ruhige Lage
- Sehr freundliche Vermieter
Fazit: Würde diese Wohnung noch einmal buchen, da die Lage super ist und man sich im Vergleich viel Geld sparen kann.
Hoffe meine Bewertung hilft euch weiter
- Qualità degli alloggi garantita
- I proprietari sono contattati e verificati telefonicamente

Fitness guru shares tips
Kristen Gangl's mission is to motivate the community, one member at a time, to get excited about fitness and to provide each person with the means to reach their fitness goals and partner with them to see major changes in their body, fitness level and health as a result.
The Snap Fitness manager, personal trainer and instructor shares the following advice with people looking to exercise in the new year.
"I would encourage those who have been away from fitness to start slow, with about 20 minutes of cardio at a pace they can talk easily and use light weights with high repetitions to bring a muscle to fatigue in the beginning," Gangl said.
"The key is consistency. Find a way to stick with the program. Make it a part of your schedule, get a workout buddy, make it fun by doing something you enjoy. Give yourself variety by changing the program with the assistance of a trainer or take a class," she said. "We usually work out twice as hard in a group."
Gangl said nearly half of the people who join a gym leave within six months.
"It is difficult to make time for exercise these days with our busy lives; however, if we fail to do so our health will pay the price," she said. "Exercise give us so many benefits. Not only will our health improve, but we will have more energy and be happier."
Gangl has been certified as a Group Fitness Instructor by the American Council on Exercise since 1992, and as a personal trainer by the National Exercise Trainers since 2004.

KakaSasu stands for Kakashi x Sasuke, which is a pairing in Naruto. Kakashi is 29 years old (current age in the manga) and is Sasuke's sensei. Sasuke is 14 (current age in the manga).
Kakashi stared into Sasuke's dark eyes, wondering how they ever got this far. Sasuke stared back unflinchingly, a hint of challenge in his eyes, and then they were kissing, mouths open, sucking and biting like it was their last, dominating each other.

Reviews for this host's other properties
simply but well-situated apartment in Bethnal Green. The shower was a litte bit confusing, because I don't know how to use (there were several buttons to press). But I would recommend this apartment.
Thanks and I will come back :)
It was my brother who actually stayed at the apartment. He was well pleased with the services rendered. I will like to also add that the pre- arrival information is quite impressive, it contains all the details need to locate the accommodation. Will definitely recommend to a friend.
Nice room, central location.
Room was dirty and we had to share one towel because the other one was dirty! House was cold and the water was playing up. Would not really recommend this room, even for he price. Life is worth more!
Great Room near transport links
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Clean & comfortable room. Quiet but central location.
The great problem with the room was its owner, Kazzos, and his noticable lack of
seriousness. The first night we discovered that we have been asigned with the same room as a German family, and when we tried to contact kazzos (at 1:00 am) he wouldn't answer to etiher the phone number he gave as nor the mail address.
When he eventually answer he didn't want to talk by phone, instead he would ask us to talk by whatsapp. Thanks to the German family and once we came over that horrible night and without knowing if the problem was already solved, we tried again and again to contact kazzos, and yet today (two months later) he hasn't answered.
All in all, a noisy and small apartment that is ten minutes walk from an underground station (not really well connected). Most of the furniture looked old and careless/broken, and the shower would get wet the whole bathroom. If your intention is just to rest a few hours, it's not the worst option, however consider the possibility that if you are in any trouble you could end up in the street at 1:00 am. From our trip to London, Kazzos and his room were without a doubt the worst thing and if we came back we wouln't take any of his rooms.
Very near station, lovely kitchen
Near tube station, right off Brick Lane - Great location!!!
- Quality assured accommodation

This book has a trailer that with higher production quality than most indie films
Quirk Books has already released two best-selling "mash-up" books: Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by Jane Austen and Ben Winters, and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith. Here's the deal: once a book enters the public domain, authors are free to take some creative liberties with the source material. Quirk Books has led the way on making "mash-ups" into a legit lit genre.

John Kerry was doing his best "Casablanca" impersonation, pretending to be police Capt. Renault and was just shocked that Egypt is still a brutal military dictatorship despite our newly revived "historic partnership."

The Iraq disaster remains George W. Bush's enduring folly, and the Republican attempt to shift the blame to the Obama presidency is obscene nonsense. This was, and will always be, viewed properly as Bush's quagmire, a murderous killing field based on blatant lies.

"Is this really my life?" LuLu Locks asks. "I'm waking up this morning to go play Barbie dress-up with grown women?"
She is standing in the foyer of a Victorian house on Providence's West Side — headquarters for her photography studio, Providence Pin-Up. Her collection of vintage clothing and costumes sits in a room upstairs: racks of boas, tutus, and dresses; bags overflowing with pumps and patent leather boots.
In another room, a team of makeup artists are prepping the day's models with a spritz from an airbrush or a final dash of lip pencil. It is a typical pre-Valentine's Day afternoon at an operation where customers walk in as their everyday selves and walk out with photos of them transformed into flirty vixens from another era.
The studio's motto is "Be a Bombshell" and, in the three-and-a-half years since it opened, Pin-Up has photographed women propped on motorcycles, rolling around lasciviously in homage to Marilyn Monroe's last photo shoot and, in one case, posing with a live chicken.
Marilyn and Betty Page may have passed on, but they left behind a realistic aesthetic that women can aspire to, Locks says. Her studio is here to help turn those aspirations into 8x10 glossy snapshots of reality. Locks herself is a prime example. At five-foot-eight, with shoulders strengthened growing up on a farm near Coventry, she is never going to be the delicate-boned, supermodel type, she says. But a pin-up? "I know I look good in a shirtwaist dress and a great pair of pumps."
Of course, it didn't hurt that today's Providence is primed for industries with an eye on yesterday. Pin-Up gained momentum from teaming up with other nostalgia-tinged ventures like the Rhode Island Burlesque Academy, Providence Roller Derby, and Narragansett Beer.
On this Sunday, the business is in full swing. Downstairs, a dreadlocked derby girl named Mary Slayne is posing in a corset, black skirt, and roller skates. In the next room, an array of playing cards, jewelry boxes, and money clips — all accessories that Pin-Up customers can have printed with their photo — are displayed on a coffee table. The bright tones of ABBA's "Dancing Queen" waft through the house from a radio in another room.
As Locks tip-toes around wires that snake to spotlights and hair-irons throughout the house, she says her business isn't purely about titillation. It's about offering an alternative to the standards of beauty passed down by Hollywood execs and fashion magazine editors. "We encourage a cookie," she says. "We encourage wearing your freckles and not making yourself look so different with lots and lots of silicon."

Animal stem cells help local boy with autism
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Jefferson County parent Jason Donnelly is taking a unique approach to helping his 12-year-old son, J.P., with autism spectrum disorder.
Donnelly and his son travel to Tijuana, Mexico, to get stem cells from sheep. He says it's the only thing that's helped his child improve his comprehension since he was diagnosed at age 3.
"He's went from just being in this world to wanting to be in this world. He knows everything that's going on, he wants to go to school and he wants to learn," said Donnelly.
A quick search on the Internet and a referral from friends led to a doctor in Mexico. Now his son takes stem cells every other day from a bottle.
"You suck it out with a syringe, take out the needle, open your tongue hold it in your tongue, for 2 minutes, and that's how it dissolves into your body," Donnelly said.
Donnelly says the $200 a month the treatment costs is worth it.
The stem cells are processed tissue from the organs, embryos or fetuses of animals.
"Until you're in a father's position that will do anything for their son they just don't know. I will do anything for my son," Donnelly said.
Pete Molino, CEO of Access Point Family Services in Idaho Falls, said although sheep stem cells may have worked as a treatment for one boy with autism, people still need to do their research on peer review journals.
"Sometimes it's better to wait for science to catch up. Is this really something that works? But in the end, how do you tell a parent, 'Don't try it'? This is their kid, and they're going to do what they feel is necessary to help them," said Molino.
Donnelly said he will continue to use sheep stem cells as treatment and said J.P. hasn't had any side-effects.
"It's a slow process, but it's a good process," he said.
Doctors say there is no known cure for autism and they still don't know the cause. They also say people receiving stem cell therapy can get bacterial and viral infections carried by the animal cells, and some have had life-threatening and even deadly allergic reactions.

Business Technology Strategic Plan: 2013 - 2017
Message from Director, Division of Information Technology
The FDIC is emerging from a period of intense focus on dealing with the effects of the financial crisis. While the crisis placed enormous stress on the Corporation and its staff, it was generally very clear what needed to be done - identify and monitor troubled banks, close failed banks, and manage receiverships to the benefit of depositors and the insurance fund. During the crisis, the FDIC expanded our information technology (IT) infrastructure and its operational resources to support the FDIC's workforce expansion and increased bank resolution activity. We continue to make adjustments to IT infrastructure and operational resources to accommodate organizational changes, resolution activity, and new regulatory requirements.
As we emerge from the crisis, the FDIC needed to take a fresh look at our information technology strategy. We have transformed our information technology strategy into a business technology strategy, emphasizing what strategic imperatives are needed to provide business value to the FDIC and to address any gaps in either business or information technology capabilities.
We will carry on with our application modernization efforts to address technology obsolescence. We have made good progress over the past three years in addressing the highest risk applications. We plan on having the bulk of the applications completed over the next five years, following established roadmaps developed in conjunction with business stakeholders.
Our strategic imperatives reflect industry and government trends to address "big data", an increasingly mobile workforce and public, and electronic document management. Over the next five years, FDIC will develop improved capabilities for advanced analytics and the visual representation of information. We will also move to a "mobile first" approach, creating information once to publish anywhere. Paper will be substantially reduced as we adopt a methodology of "born digital, stays digital."
This plan is a living document and we will periodically report on progress against the plan and update the plan as needed.
I am pleased to present the FDIC Business Technology Strategic Plan, 2013 - 2017. I look forward to working with all FDIC stakeholders to successfully carry out this plan in support of the execution of the FDIC's mission.
Russell G. Pittman
Director, Division of Information Technology

Breaking: Romney to announce VP pick tomorrow at
9 8:45 am; Update: NBC says it's Ryan
posted at 11:22 pm on August 10, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Fresh in the e-mail inbox from Team Romney:
Boston, MA – On Saturday, Mitt Romney will begin his "The Romney Plan For A Stronger Middle Class" bus tour by announcing his choice for Vice Presidential candidate in Norfolk, Virginia. The following events are open to the press. Please note that the tour of the USS Wisconsin and Homemades by Suzanne drop by are pool coverage.
Lest one thinks that Romney's presence on the USS Wisconsin is just an odd coincidence, here's what Bill Kristol is hearing:
THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned that the Romney campaign has begun to prepare a vigorous effort in support of Paul Ryan if he is selected as Mitt Romney's vice presidential pick—something now likely to happen soon. For example, GOP officials tell THE WEEKLY STANDARD that Wisconsin governor Scott Walker is among a group of Republicans who has been asked to be ready, in terms of his schedule and other practical preparations, to make the case publicly for a Romney-Ryan ticket as early as Saturday.
This of course does not mean the Wisconsin congressman will necessarily end up as Romney's running mate. The Romney campaign may be working to lay the groundwork for one or two other possible picks, though THE WEEKLY STANDARD has been unable to find evidence of any comparable preparation for other candidates. Or the Romney team could be engaging in some last minute misdirection, as other campaigns have done. In 2000, much of the attention in the days before the announcement of Dick Cheney as Bush's running mate focused on John Danforth, thanks to nudging from inside the campaign. And in 2004, the New York Post splashed on its front page a story indicating that Richard Gephardt would be John Kerry's running mate. It's entirely possible that the Romney campaign is engaging in the same kind of shenanigans.
But if the signs pointing toward Ryan, increasing in number, are meant as a feint, it's an odd one. Ryan is popular among conservatives and Republicans, and the talk about him is generating lots of excitement in conservative and GOP circles. The campaign would presumably be acting to tamp down Ryan speculation if Ryan weren't going to be the pick, in order to avoid a sense of letdown if he's passed over. But the campaign is doing no such thing. Rather, it seems to be preparing observers for Ryan.
Yeah, I don't see this as a feint, although it might have been a multiple-candidate effort. Romney has enough problems with conservatives that using Ryan as a red herring to pick Tim Pawlenty or Bob McDonnell would leave a very sour taste with the Tea Party grassroots. If they're working with Scott Walker to prepare for the announcement, one has to assume that the running mate will be Ryan — or, long shot, Scott Walker himself.
If it is Paul Ryan, it's a good choice. Ryan has solid policy credentials, but also has enough media presence and charm to make people listen. Team Obama will hang Ryan's budget on Romney, but they were going to do that anyway. Why not have the man himself as the VP to explain it? Ryan also gives the ticket solid Washington experience, while giving conservatives more hope that a Romney presidency will aim for serious change.
That would be the biggest plus for the campaign, which has had to fight Obama's strategy of distraction. Ryan's efforts play the long game on budgets and entitlement reform; he's one of the few people in Washington talking about not just the fiscal cliff but the long-term fiscal gap I wrote about this week in the Fiscal Times. Progressives dislike the plan, conservatives fault it for taking too long to balance the budget, but Ryan's plan is literally the only serious plan on the table to fix that $222 trillion long-term gap. Ryan adds instant gravitas to the campaign, something that Obama and his team have failed to do despite being the incumbent President of the United States.
If indeed it's Ryan, even the media may have to start focusing on the most serious issues — and that's bad news for Obama.
Update: A subsequent e-mail from Team Romney puts the announcement time at 8:45 am, so I changed the headline.
Update II: According to Peter Hamby at CNN, Romney spent the evening calling the VP shortlist candidates, thanking them for their efforts, and telling them they didn't get the pick.
Update III: Allahpundit just flagged this tweet to me:
NBC News: Sources indicate Rep. Paul Ryan is the VP choice.
— msnbc (@msnbc) August 11, 2012
Serious question: would NBC get a leak like this?

About Us
Your child will receive individual attention due to the high ratio of adults to children. Parents are able to have more time with their child and have a say in the operation of the co-op. You will also have the opportunity to meet other parents who are earning a degree.
- Education that supports life-long learning
- Involvement with your child, his or her playmates and the teacher
- Supportive relationships for you and your child with other families
- Opportunities for growth and understanding as a parent
- Acceptance of the individual needs and strengths of each child
Our Philosophy
At the Rhode Island College Cooperative Preschool, we believe that a child's preschool experience should be the foundation of a lifetime of learning through age-appropriate experiences. Our preschool welcomes all children regardless of race, language, gender, culture, or abilities. The Cooperative Preschool offers a safe, nurturing, and interactive environment in order to maximize the potential and individuality of every child. Children learn by understanding the world around them and their relationship to it. The Co-op curriculum recognizes that play is the principle through which children attain developmentally appropriate goals in all the Rhode Island Early Learning Standard domains. The program offers a well-structured curriculum which is aligned to the Rhode Island Early Learning Standards. The curriculum offers a variety of projects and activities aimed at the enhancement of social, cognitive, and motor skills. These activities support and reflect on the importance of the additional three components of a quality curriculum: focusing on how children learn, the environment in which they learn best, and the importance of teaching and facilitating to support children's individual learning styles. The teachers and staff are committed to support all children's individual development and growth. Parents and the Rhode Island College community play an integral part of the program. Our program understands the uniqueness that each family brings to our center, and we strive to involve parents and support them in their child's growth and development through program-level decision-making. The Co-op strongly values collaboration between parents and staff while striving to build a community based team through mutual respect, trust, and understanding of each individual family.
At the Cooperative Preschool we strive to instill these very important skills in all children:
- Recognize that all children have varying degrees of development levels, unique learning styles and interests
- Approach learning with an attitude of active involvement
- Build a positive self-image
- Make good choices
- Recognize and appreciate diverse cultures
- Work well with others
- Support special needs within an inclusive setting
Cooperation and communication are vital components of the the shared responsibilities at the co-op. During duty hours parents are expected to assist the teacher with the children and to complete various daily, monthly and semester duties. These duties may include housekeeping chores, playground duty or preparing snacks. This helps the co-op run smoothly and efficiently. It also helps to keep the monthly dues reasonable. Other parent responsibilities include a commitment to work a designated number of hours per week determined at the beginning of each semester, attend monthly meetings, pay monthly dues and actively participate in the organization. Each parent is also required to complete (20) hours of staff training per year. The training classes include, reading, self-study or staff development training sessions held during the monthly co-op meetings.

Friday predictions: Which dumb distraction will Obama's campaign use next week to avoid talking about jobs?
posted at 5:36 pm on May 11, 2012 by Allahpundit
I think I'm going to make this a regular Friday feature. We'll be dealing with a new Obama-manufactured nontroversy every week from now until the economy starts to wake up and give him something meaningful to talk about. Why not try to guess next week's shiny object ahead of time? Says the Examiner:
The Labor Department reports that 367,000 more Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week. That is still about 100,000 more than prerecession levels. Economists lowered their economic growth projection for 2012 from an already stagnant 2.2 percent to an anemic 1.5 percent. Gallup reported one-in-three young U.S. workers is underemployed. The federal budget deficit is at an all-time high. Americans are fleeing the workforce in record numbers. And if Congress and Obama do nothing, we will all be hit with a job-killing $494 billion tax hike on New Year's Day…
If voters decide the 2012 election based on Obama's economic record, he will lose. And so the liberal media, as in love with him as ever, is helping him parade shiny objects to distract voters from that record. The wall-to-wall coverage of Obama's sudden evolution in his personal position on same-sex marriage follows in the tradition of the Republican War on Women; the Buffett Rule; tax breaks for private jets; Romney's supposed soft-spot for Osama bin Laden; a student loan bill that would save the average borrower all of $7 per month; and endless 30-year-old stories about Romney's dog.
Or, if you prefer your political lessons in GIF form:
see more Memebase and check out our Troll Face lols!
Anyway: Predictions. Which shiny object will we be asked to play with next? Time for O to make another phony push on comprehensive immigration reform? It'll go nowhere in Congress but will give the press an excuse to explore the question of just how much Romney hates Latinos. How about a hard-hitting New York Times piece alleging that Romney was once in the same dorm room as a guy smoking weed in 1970 and might have inadvertently inhaled the second-hand smoke? That could kickstart an important national debate on legalizing marijuana that'll end promptly once the next shiny object is ready. Or maybe O will play it light by doing an interview with ESPN to give his pre-season Super Bowl picks and/or his early NCAA tournament brackets. That's probably only a one-day story, but if he gets George Clooney or Matt Damon involved I'll bet he can stretch it to two. Any guesses? Whoever comes closest to predicting America's next contrived diversion from Obama's miserable economic record will be duly honored in next week's prediction post.
While you mull, here's Barney Frank and Tony Perkins going 15 rounds on "Hardball" yesterday over this week's anything-but-the-economy. Full hour on Monday maybe?
