Welcome to the third issue of our "Community News". These news reports give you an overview of what has happened in our community in the past week. I am looking forward to hear how you like these and what additional topics you like to see covered here.
The big news in the beginning of last week was the crash on sign in problems for some of our Windows users which brought quite an increase in visitors to our community. We also asked for help in pinpointing the cause for this crash by supplying logs. Some users shared this information and helped our development team to get it resolved. Thanks a lot for that.
Here's a little overlap with the Member of the Week (see below) but this brilliant thread is just to valuable to leave it unmentioned. Take a look at the "Skype technical errors Megathread" with a detailed description of Windows tech problems and their solutions. Epic.
A very good explanation on how to start a new thread by Power User Primemover: Help Us To Help You! (How to Start a New Thread).
This week's highlighted member is NoxxeR who just signed up a week ago and brought new input to the Windows boards. His highlight is the "Skype technical errors Megathread" where he explains the most common problems and their solutions all in one condensed thread. Great stuff, thanks for that NoxxeR also on behalf of all the users you could help with answers to their questions.
And by the way: If you come accross any message you find helpful, funny, offering a solution or all of it at the same time: Please click on the "Kudo +1" button below the message to show your appreciation.

This coffee is good, but Lavazza's Espresso blend -- in the black can -- is great. I found the gold can a bit less fuller and more acidic. Definitely not bad, though!

Nice coffee. I bought it mainly for the canister but the coffee tastes great.
Good coffee taste - but...
Posted by 5265818347797062660 on May 11, 2014 | Verified Purchase
This coffee tastes good, however, there are one big minus, and that is the container itself. I cut myself quite alot, due to the very (!) sharp edges on the inside of the box, while scooping up coffee, (when the box starts to get empty, u have to put your hand down in it, scooping up what is left, and 3 times (although taking it slow, being careul) I managed to cut myself while putting my hand down into the box, scooping up the coffee. So they should really fix that asap! Because the coffee is good, but not worth cutting your hand for.... for the taste - five stars for the box - one star....

Why does it cost a buck to have your queens marked?
Imagine trying to mark this queen. With 500 "holes" or mating nucs in the field, there are a lot of bees in the air. Some become absolute pests. The bee with all the paint on her was surely the most persistant. I could move to another nuc on the far side of the group of nucs and she'd show up in a minute or two. Most of these bees are just in the way but occassionally you get one with evil intentions. They usually wind up stinging my fingers and not the queen.

Pat Robertson: Haiti made a pact with the devil or something
posted at 4:10 pm on January 13, 2010 by Allahpundit
He may be a crank, but he's consistent in his crankery. Anywhere there's human misery — after 9/11, after Katrina, even after Ariel Sharon's stroke — Reverend Pat will be there to explain to the victims why they deserved it. (And he's not the only one.) He's taking a beating on Twitter right now for having said this, including/especially from Christians who don't want to see the faith smeared by his latest Old Testament thunderbolt theory. No worries there: Other Christian leaders, starting with the Pope and Franklin Graham, are taking a more New Testament view. But even conceding that he doesn't speak for most Christians, he does still command a sizable following, no? Even after years of barfing up stuff like this.
If you're wondering what the "pact with the devil" is all about (fact check: roughly 95 percent of Haitians are Christian), Tapper has some quickie background. Tongue-in-cheek exit question from MKH: According to the Harry Reid standard, shouldn't Robertson's charitable works absolve him from any and all offensive utterances?

Oh maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan,
why is it alwys you V's all this food I haven't seen for freakin years. I've got buckets all around me trying to catch the drooooool pouring out of my mouth after seeing that Dels Hamburger.
I haven't seen a real burger for years but maybe that will be my mission this weekend in Xian city. Somewhere within those ancient walls there has to be a burger...a real burger! Surely where there is a Youth Hostel there has to be a burger...and maybe even a real burger!
The Killaloe weekend
Loading Map
Initially Bob and his wife Therese were going to rent a van and go out there. Not enough people were interested. In fact, it was just me that was interested, so we canceled that plan, hopped in Bob and Therese's car and headed out.
The drive out was uneventful. We chatted and I sketched some stuff that maybe I would paint later on.
By the time we got there, it was lunchtime.
We stopped in at the Lion's hall to see Tim and drop off the Lisbon Bakery buns we picked up
This is a REALLY small town guys, there is nothing here. Not even a McDonald's *gasp*. We drove around, and the only thing open was Del's Diner. So we stopped in here for a bite to eat. I guess they don't get many visitors because the lady in charge started asking us about why we were here and what we were taking pictures of her restaurant for.
We found out the stools were "original" from way back in the day. And we also found out where the famous covered bridge is. Earlier Tim told us it was a two hour drive away! Not so, it is just down the street.
After chowing down on a lunch special of burger and fries, we headed off to the covered bridge. Yep, there it is, the Killaloe covered bridge. There were also some snowmobilers making a river crossing at the same time. Right through the middle of town, snowmobiles. Only in Canada.
Anyway, Therese was on a mission to find some "interesting forest shadows" so we hopped back in the car and looked for some
After a while, we went back to the Lion's Hall, checked out the radio station and then went to the party. There were a few people there, but not many. That was OK, because I was not in a partying mood really anyway. I had come here to paint! So, that's what I did.
I noticed a big white sheet of paper on the wall with highlighters strewn around it. Kids were drawing on the paper and shining a black light on it. It was pretty awesome.
Basically we just sat around and talked about hippies, and learned about the Killaloe lifestyle. Which usually involves communal living and apparently playing a lot of Scrabble. The pot luck involved people randomly just unwrapping the stuff they brought whenever they wanted, and then people ate it at random times. I don't know if this is a result of consciously living in a world without rules, or if everyone was just too lazy to bring the food out and put it on a table and announce that the dinner would start.
There were some people playing some music, and a guy with an accordion, singing about Killaloe. It was pretty interesting.
Bob and Therese's friend Susan from Merrickville showed up, as it turns out, she is one of Tim's exes
After the party, we headed off to Tim's house for a sleep. He has got to have the most crazy house I've ever seen. As soon as I walked in I had flashbacks from Yellowknife and the crazy cabin murderer.
Tim lives off the grid with solar panels, and a water pump that you have to pump with your feet on a seesaw like mechanism. There's all kinds of clutter around, presumably for all the strange inventions he concocts.
He said that I could sleep in the bed behind the wood stove where it is warm. But there is also a giant window there. As I am getting changed, I look out the window, and I either see someone run by, or else it is my reflection, scaring me. Whatever it is, I scream and run upstairs with my blanket to sleep with Bob and Therese in the attic. I know I know, DON'T go upstairs, isn't that what you always scream at the victim in those horror movies? But, I had to. That window was way too scary.
As I was moving the blankets upstairs, Tim walks in the door and I burst out laughing
"Oh my god, I thought there was someone outside that window! I can't sleep there, I'm way too scared!"
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh kay"
I run upstairs and set up my bed. I am just about to drift off to sleep when I hear some very strange thumping coming from downstairs.
Therese: "What...is that?"
Me: "I...don't...know" I peek out the door and notice Tim doing something weird by the stove.
Me: "Tim, what are you doing?"
Tim: "I'm pumping up the house!"
Me: "Oh, what do you mean by that?" Trying to conceal my quivering voice
Tim: "Well, I have to pump the water so it goes upstairs to the bathroom"
My fear subsides, and suddenly I feel terrible for flushing the toilet...Phew.
Me: "OK, goodnight Tim!"
Tim: "Goodnight!"
Then finally I sleep.

text: Got a call from a friend. She was terrified to see hundreds of bees entering/exiting dozens of pencil sized holes in a planting bed next to her house. Based on the pictures I tool and looking online it appears to be a species of sand bee. From what I have read its difficult to relocate the underground hive due to the deepness of the burrows (greater than three feet). Does anyone have experience relocating a nest? Short of moving a cubic yard of soil how would you do this? Thanks all.

AS SEAGULLS SOARED, cameras rolled and rangers looked on, a sea of powder-pink, hot pink and flaming-red-clad dancers high-stepped, whirled and twirled at the Golden Gate Bridge on Valentine's Day, chanting, "Break the chain!"
The group gathered Thursday morning for a dance across the bridge sponsored by peace group Code Pink in support of the One Billion Rising campaign. The campaign seeks to end violence against women and girls internationally, and was started by Eve Ensler, author of "Vagina Monologues."
"I'm here to support women all over the world to rise up like in suffragette times to fight violence," said Kathy Harris of Mill Valley, one of the dancers.
One in five women in the United States will be raped at some point in her life, according to the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey released in 2011 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
One Billion Rising staged Feb. 14 events in Marin, the Bay Area and internationally designed to call attention to the problem. The goal was for a billion men and women "to rise up and dance all over the world," according to the One Billion Rising website.
In another One Billion Rising event, a large crowd of community members and Dominican University of California students marched to the Fourth Street Plaza in San Rafael.
The university's Alonzo King LINES Ballet BFA students broke into a choreographed dance there, giving unsuspecting onlookers a lunchtime performance to remember. The dance performance was followed by a teach-in on the campus.
Earlier, at the Golden Gate Bridge event, participants assembled at the southeast end of the bridge at the Golden Gate Pavilion. Many were bearing fluorescent pink heart-shaped signs with messages ranging from "Love" to "Gun Control." After a couple of dance rehearsals, it was time to hit the bridge. The plan was to walk northward from the San Francisco end halfway toward Marin, then return to the pavilion.
"Are we ready to dance?" Nancy Mancias of San Rafael, a Code Pink member and event co-coordinator in a Gagaesque pink bob, asked the crowd through a bullhorn.
"Yeah!" the group responded, egged on by three drummers from Mill Valley, Barbara Borden, Naomi Newman and Louis Rosenbaum. The latter was one of the few men in the crowd of about 150 people.
"I have a mother, sisters, daughters, a girlfriend, and that's why I'm here," Rosenbaum said. "Every man has a mother, and that's why more men should be here.
"There's violence and abuse and rape in our country, and it has to stop," Rosenbaum said.
Approximately 1.3 million women are physically assaulted by an intimate partner annually in the U.S., according to a research report on violence against women by the National Department of Justice.
As the group took to the bridge, trailing red and pink helium Valentine balloons and holding the hot-pink signs high, drivers honked in approval. A chorus of whoops went up when a passing motorist flashed a peace sign from his sunroof.
A group of tourists in a sightseeing bus probably got a bigger dose of Bay Area culture than they bargained for as the bus rolled past the chanting, clapping, sign-brandishing crowd.
Which is not to say that the group met with resistance. "It doesn't bother me. I'm for nonviolence," said Matt Davis of Birmingham, Ala., who encountered the group as he walked toward San Francisco on the walkway.
"I really wanted to be a part of what I am sure is a billion people across the planet on this day," said Sheilah Glover of Mill Valley as she walked along the bridge. Flash mobs, dances and similar events were held in Marin, the Bay Area and all over the world Thursday.
"What a symbol Oliver Pistorius is," Glover said, referring to news reports that the Olympic hero had been arrested on suspicion of murder, accused of shooting his girlfriend the day before Valentine's.
"Someone who was so revered, and he couldn't contain his anger," Glover said. "It's time for violence against women to be translated into love and respect."
"I came to support the cause. We all need to come together," said Alice Hage of Boston.
"Well said," agreed her boyfriend Blaine Robles of Mill Valley. "Without women, I wouldn't be here."
Further down the walkway, Jenifer Cutler got a running start, then executed a perfect cartwheel without losing the blue '70s retro-chic jacket she was wearing over a bright red blouse.
"Move your body, move your mind," the Larkspur resident said. "This is, after all, a dance event." In keeping with the Valentine's Day theme, Cutler's girlfriend Brett Sanders flew in from New York to attend the bridge walk with her.
The group reassembled at the pavilion and rocked out for two more dances.
"We are mothers, we are teachers, we are beautiful creatures. Let's stop the pain, it's time to break the chain," the group chanted as the dancers spun, coming to a stop with arms in the air, fingers pointing skyward.
Co-coordinator Samantha Deer of Code Pink deemed the event a success.
"I think we brought a lot of light and awareness to the topic," Deer said as she prepared to depart for another of the dozens of related events planned for the Bay Area Thursday.
At the end of the bridge demonstration, many went to San Rafael to join the Fourth Street event.
"We're going to dance all day to end violence against women," Mancias said.

Adam, my one nuc is a divided 10 frame deep that holds four frames on each side and has three deeps stacked up. They have 12 frames to run on at the moment and they still have that space filled with bees.
I had planned to run divided deeps as nucs and then overwinter them on top of the main hives.
The entrances are on oppposite sides of each other.
I noticed that whenever I would inspect them they always spilled over into the other side. I ended up laying a rag over the opening of the inner cover on ther other side.
If there were two booming nucs in a divided Deep, not sure if there would be problems with fighting.
Maybe I was getting worried about nothing...
I decided to make all 5 frame nucs from the Coates plans this winter.
Then build them up into three stories and push them together for the winter.

A Waterfront Reputation for Excellence
Prestige Inn Nelson • Nelson, Canada
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay in a Deluxe Room for Two
- Two Ainsworth Hot Spring Passes
- $50 Dinner Credit at Ric's Lounge & Grill
- Combine Vouchers To Stay up to Four Nights
It's often said that if you want to be held in high esteem, do esteemable things—and an Escape to the Prestige Inn Nelson on Kootenay Lake in British Columbia will at least leave your travel companion holding you in high regard.
The comfort cachet carried by this French-boutique-style lakeside hotel is diamond-clear. Amenities like 42-inch plasma TVs, king or queen beds with pillow-top mattresses, and high-speed Wi-Fi are just a few of the reasons for this retreat's renown.
Pay a visit to the natural Ainsworth Hot Spring, a geological gem that reinforces the inn's reputation for relaxation. Wade in the waist-high waters for a luxurious skin-deep soak as an après-ski treat—the powdered slopes of Whitewater Ski Resort are nestled conveniently nearby. Similarly, outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes will want to check out the buzz created by the inn's proximity to first-class fishing on the Columbia River or Kootenay Lake or the scenic hiking and mountain-biking opportunities that lie along the rugged Nelson Salmo Great Northern Trail.
In downtown Nelson, hobnob with a host of cultural and entertainment offerings. A heritage streetcar tour of Baker Street is the perfect way to make your acquaintance with the area. Notable highlights include the Touchstones Museum of Art and History and the town's farmers' market that draws musicians and craftsmen each first Friday.
And, flavor also generates its fair share of fame at nearby hot spots such as Ric's Lounge & Grill, where appetizers like spinach-and-goat cheese mushroom caps with escargot and entrées like ginger-cranberry salmon and Kobe cheeseburger pizza make delicious first impressions.

Last week we reported the recent jump in sales for pizza giant Domino's after launching its new recipe for pizza which coincidentally (or not so coincidentally) included 50 percent more cheese. Jim Montel, vice president of Strategic Partnerships at Dairy Management, Inc., said that a strong working relationship with Domino's was an important part of this recent recipe revamp. Domino's isn't the only one that DMI works closely with though.
McDonald's, the world's largest quick-serve food retailer has a long-standing relationship with checkoff programs. It is paying off, too. Have you noticed what McDonald's has been promoting lately? Besides the cheesy Angus burger launched last year, the new McCafe coffees contain plenty of milk. Montel affectionately referred to them as "coffee flavored milk" as they contain up to 80 percent milk. "Much of what McDonald's is promoting right now is dairy focused," said Montel. Besides the Angus cheeseburgers and McCafe, McDonald's is launching frappes and smoothies this summer in all 14,000 locations, in addition to creating improved shakes that will be served in clear plastic containers with whipped cream. Montel also pointed to the considerable dairy-focused advertising done by McDonald's during the Winter Olympics as a sign that they are committed to promoting these dairy-heavy foods.
Partnerships like these are certainly proving to be efficient uses of our checkoff dollars. That's the goal of the relationships says Montel who remarks that they remain focused on long-term growth of dairy product use. As a result, competitors are launching similar products to go head-to-head with McDonald's, for example. Wendy's large Bacon Blue burger that is covered with blue cheese crumbles launched after the Angus burgers certainly may fit into that category.

I think Caroline should consider this for a future SP (if indeed she already has her SP music for the 09-10 season)-- its a perfect speed, lightness and the piano melody is a nice variation from the usual violin music she chooses.
Ann Patrice McDonough skated to it for her SP at the 2002 Jr Worlds. I've never really seen Caroline glow in her programs (like she does for her exhibitions), but I think this would really let her skate euphorically while still expressing her graceful quality on the ice-- with a quicker tempo that shouldn't overwhelm her.
(Boy, what fabulous skating by Yamaguchi. A living swan!)
Mao and Yukari just used Fantaisie Impromptu last season... I can't really see Caroline doing it again, but Chopin is not a bad thought.
I can't either, its also more of a LP piece than SP, but I do like it as music...just not so much for Caroline since it seems pretty overdone as of late
check out the etude though!
While I have a special fondness for piano (since that's what I play), I feel in general Caroline would do better with violin than piano.
I really *love* this beautiful violin adaptation of Chopin's nocturne:
It's sooooooooo gorgeous! Makes me want to cry. I think Caroline can really make it her own one day, when she's a little bit more mature and able to really express passion. This piece has elegance, melancholy, passion in spades. It's almost got her name written all over it. Has anyone ever skated to this violin adaptation?
I actually have both the piano etude and the violin nocturne on my ipod. While I like both, I think the violin nocturne is wayyyyy better for her to skate to, JMHO!
PB, I agree with your about Caroline's exhibitions. Nobody nowadays gives me shivers as much as her exhibitions, and it comes at some unexpected moments: upward-turned arms, a slight pause, a split jump, a spiral (okay, maybe this last is not so unexpected).
I think I'm just sick of violin pieces being used...I actually think that because Caroline has mostly used violin, she should switch to piano. Her exhibitions have mostly been piano accompanied-- they're just so much lighter, and she seems much more unfettered skating to them. Oh, and thanks for the welcome, Mathman!
Secondly, that is one of my favourite Chopin pieces ever. I first heard it in 'The Pianist' and I play it all the time. It's nice to know there's someone out there who shares similar tastes as you do. The piano version is still the best, though, and Caroline will need oodles more expression before she can tackle this piece.
By the way, that is a great pick, too, cornell08! The beginning part sounds like another piece I have in mind for Caroline, but I'm blanking out on the name of it. It's either by Grieg or Chopin, or neither of them. I'll post it when I do remember.
I also think Caroline would do well skating to piano music. She's only ever skated to strings since she burst onto the scene.

Back to School Bash cools kids off
The Nazarene Church in Backus hosted a Back to School Bash on Sunday, Aug. 25, to help kids prepare for school by giving them supplies and a fun event to end the summer.
"It's our way of reaching out to families and let them know we care about them in a tangible way," said pastor John Rister.
Participants found organized games, live music, face painting, bounce houses and food waiting for them. In spite of temperatures near the 90s, padded sumo suits were popular with kids, only outshined by a running sprinkler.
All the kids who attended the event were given bags with pencils, pens, notebooks, folders, erasers and glue sticks for the school year. There were also door prizes of four grab bags overstuffed with school supplies.
The event is the brainchild of Rister's wife, Julie. It was made possible by donations of time, money and supplies from local businesses, church members and the local parent teacher organization.
"A lot of the people here gave from their hearts," Rister said.
The Risters hope to host the event in coming years, though future years might include more water-based activities, especially if they are as hot as this year. To contribute in any way, call the church office at 218-947-4243.

Global ICT policy
advocacy and networking coordinator
MONTEVIDEO (CILAC) - The Andean region has
some of the lowest fixed telephone line, mobile telephony and broadband
penetration rates of all Latin America, the continent with the starkest
economic disparities in the world. In the 90s, Andean countries adopted
new liberalisation and privatisation policies in order to attain
universal access. Almost 20 years later, these promises have not been
fulfilled. APC studied each country through national reports in
Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela in order to understand
this failure. As the State in countries like Venezuela and Ecuador has
begun to play a more pro-active role, the research also
analyses their effectiveness and the opportunities and challenges of
this renewed involvement. More
CALGARY (LC for APCNews) - On July 12 2009,
the Congolese decided on their leader for the next seven years. In a
country where the telephone system is barely functional and 97% of the
population can not access the internet, a reform in the
telecommunications sector could lead to renewed interest in the country
by investors, which would boost the country's economy. However, it has
been difficult to implement a coherent ICT policy in the country so
far. Will the new presidential term that is about to begin bring
successful reforms to the sector? APC looks at the state of ICT policy
in the country and the road ahead. More
MERIDA (Lourdes Pietrosemoli for EsLaRed) -
There aren't that many options for the deaf in Venezuela, and those who
do have full time employment often find it difficult to take time off

Networking Academy found a way to train four men and two women who can
not hear, on IT Essentials. This course, an initiative by APC member
EsLaRed, was given in Venezuelan sign language and was a great success
– not only to those who gained the new skills, but also to the project
creators, who believe there is potential to apply the project in other

Disappointed with Scan
I've bought loads of stuff from Amazon & eBay over the last few months for a PC build and have never had a problem, so when I chose a reputable retailer to purchase a new case I thought I'd have no issues, but I was wrong! Here's the tale so far.....
I spent Monday & Tuesday (26th & 27th) looking at cases which would suit my needs, when I settled on one from Scan. After consulting with the Money Manager (Wife) I placed the order with them late on Wednesday (28th). I was a little annoyed at having to pay nearly £10 Next Day Delivery but thought "Meh, I'll have it on Friday (30th), the Wife will have to stay in until I'm home from work." She was not pleased
Alas, no... this was not to be.
I had checked the case on Monday, In Stock. Tuesday, In Stock. Wednesday, In Stock. Ordered, along with 4 Fans, Fan Grills and some cables.
Thursday (29th) went something like this:
11:15 (whilst at work) Email - Sorry, We don't have [ 1 ] of your Fans. Please let us know what you'd like to do. We can refund the money for the one Fan or you can choose a different model (We suggest this different BRAND & SPEC which won't match your other 3!)
15:48 (when home) I reply to the Email: "OK, If you have the other [ 3 ] Fans, then just refund the [ 1 ] you don't have.
15:52 (Email reply) I can confirm that I have made the following amendments to your order: Deleted: [ 1 ] As a result, a refund of £7.17 will be processed upon completion of the order. Now the Fans are listed at £7.18 on the Scan website, but who's gonna argue over 1p when:
Estimated Despatch Date: 29.11.2012
We will aim to despatch your order to meet the estimate above. Once your order has been despatched, delivery should be made next working day by DPD.
20:27 (Email) Thank you for your order from Scan.
Please regard this email as an active notification of a delay in your order, due to a temporary shortage in stock of the following item/s:
Estimated Lead Date 04/12/2012
Suggested Replacement MORE EXPENSIVE CASE NOT SUITED FOR PURPOSE.
Estimated Lead Date 06/12/2012
Now I don't know whether this is for the [ 1 ] Fan already cancelled (and ordered elsewhere via a different retailer) or for the other [ 3 ] Fans that were in stock less than 5hrs ago!!!
Both products are now listed as Pre Order on the Scan website, which wasn't the case at 16:00 Thursday when I checked after cancelling the [ 1 ] Fan. So instead of being able to sit down over my weekend off and build this new PC, I have to wait until sometime next week for the final bits to be delivered and then a couple more weeks before I have the time to put it together.
Is this the type of service to expect from 2011 / 2012 Bit-Tech Best Retailer? I don't think so, but then who am I other than one annoyed & put out customer, who by the way made a prompt payment. The money for my order deducted from my account immediately the order was placed, so is sitting in a bank account somewhere making Scan money, while I don't have anything I ordered. Finally, the worst thing... I have no choice but to wait as the case I was looking for is only available from Scan (well, they are the only ones I'd personally buy from anyway!). ./rant

Why did you pay £10 for next day delivery? Unless things have changed recently, if in stock and ordered by 5.30 I think it is they always deliver next day and bit-tech members with 20+ posts and order value over £20 (excluding vat) get free delivery on the same basis

Scan's stock system has always been a bit rubbish, there are plenty of stories of people getting OOS emails despite them showing as in stock when ordered.
It's happened to me as well but I just waited it out as I wasn't in much of a hurry.

All stock systems have a slight delay in reporting something that is out of stock.
Why did you leave it until last minute to order your stuff? That leaves no room for error or a failed delivery.

I didn't leave it, I ordered it then booked the weekend off, based on the quoted delivered when the order was placed.

Yevtushenko, Yevgeni 1933–
Yevtushenko is a Russian poet known throughout the world for his superb dramatic readings of his own work. Although frequently critical of contemporary Soviet society, he remains essentially a regime poet. (See also CLC, Vols. 1, 3.)
J. M. Cohen
[Yevgeny Yevtushenko]writes about metaphysical overtones. The leading theme of his … sequence 'The Bratsk Station' is a dialogue between an Egyptian pyramid and this electrogenerating station in the Siberian tundra. The work Bratsk has a double meaning: it stands both for brotherhood and for the place. Yevtushenko's sequence hymns the Russian achievement and prophesies a spiritual future of vaster achievement, but not of faith; though his ideas are strictly Communist, his expression is individual…. This book contains Yevtushenko's best poetry till now: an individual restatement of a commonplace passionately accepted by his audience. It can and should be read in the West with suspension of disbelief, for it is fine poetry…. (p. 78)
J. M. Cohen, in The Spectator (© 1967 by The Spectator; reprinted by permission of The Spectator), July 21, 1967.
Rima Shore
The actors in Yevgeny Yevtushenko's Under the Skin of the Statue of Liberty wait onstage for the audience to enter…. Sitting casually against the large metal backdrop, eighteen youths talk in undertones, chew gum, smoke and stare indifferently or defiantly at the people who are joining them in the hall.
Cramped and restless, the actors are very close to the audience, practically within reach of the first row of seats. This first row is reserved. The audience, settling into place, has the time and proximity to absorb details of set and costume on the shallow stage…. This is American Youth as the Moscow audience might expect it to be, but the actors would probably strike the American viewer as middle-aged and dated, belonging more to the Beat Generation than to today's counter-culture….
The main presence in the theatre is the metal backdrop, which replaces a curtain. All of the action of the performance takes place in front of this backdrop. Seamed together from sturdy sections of flat and corrugated metal, it creates a cold and urban setting. The last two words of a slogan, the WAR, painted in large, white English letters at the extreme left, leave to the imagination the beginning of the slogan and the extension of the metal curtain beyond the dimensions of the stage and theatre. (p. 138)
What we see and hear on stage is a series of enactments of political events or of events that are portrayed as central to the American Experience. (p. 139)
[Violence] alternates with less devastating skits. Some seem irrelevant, like a barker selling lottery tickets. Others strike the American viewer as on target, such as when a Gallup pollster, using the rope as a microphone, puts questions to Americans on the street who are handily portrayed by the four skulls….
When the students play themselves, Yevtushenko's treatment is sympathetic, and the youth movement is depicted as a helpless,...
(The entire section is 816 words.)
A. Lawton
The general reader as well as the specialist in Russian literature will find [Le betullenane] extremely valuable. Although Yevtushenko is probably the Soviet poet best known abroad, several of the poems included in this collection are published for the first time outside of the Soviet Union….
Yevtushenko, caught between [poles of eradicated traditions and anticipated phenomena], voices the "Soviet" anguish of the individual, whose ideological opposition to the old beliefs is frustrated by the absence of new positive values. In the search for new values, he alternately rejects and accepts official Soviet dogmatism and the pseudo-ideals of Western consumer society. This suffered uncertainty,...
(The entire section is 178 words.)
Vickie A. Babenko
Many contemporary Soviet poets write about women … but Evtushenko's poems on the subject are somewhat different from those of other poets. While most of them present women in love this is a minor subject for Evtushenko…. His female characters have specific qualities; they are earthly creatures; their feelings are intense and real. Evtushenko does not distance them with abstract associations. At the same time his poetic "I" is less personally involved in the action than those of poets like Voznesenskii. Like Voznesenskii, however, he sees women as victims of a cruel fate who are to be pitied or admired. Yet each of them is an unique human being, and there is always a certain tragic tone about each one. Although his...
(The entire section is 528 words.)
L. B. Croft
For the specialist, there is patently little point in acquiring [From Desire to Desire]. It is obviously intended for those romantic but uninitiated poetophiles who have somewhere heard of Yevtushenko and seek another name to drop in literary conversation. To this purpose it is well designed. (p. 642)
L. B. Croft, in World Literature Today (copyright 1977 by the University of Oklahoma Press), Vol. 51, No. 4, Autumn, 1977.
(The entire section is 64 words.)
Blake Morrison
Love Poems cannot be regarded as one of [Yevtushenko's] major publications: only half a dozen poems have not appeared in translation before…. But it is part of the same venture to divert attention from public works such as "Babiy Yar" towards the more personal, though never hermetic, love lyrics….
Recent poems suggest the development in Yevtushenko of a dutiful and at times tiresomely moralistic persona—"Where there is no love, how foul and disgusting / to copulate", "Oh bless the family, dear Lord, the crown of all mankind"—but it would be wrong to expect a complete, "Dover Beach"-like withdrawal from public concerns. (p. 846)

Share the safety aspect of your operation to promote prevention
by Hoard's Dairyman staff
While the warm weather brings a smile to our face, it can be a time of danger. Animal projects for the summer fairs and field work equipment are signs that spring is here. In addition to the farm safety measures you implement on your dairy or farm to protect your children, it is valuable to share with others the importance you place on child safety as well.
The Childhood Agricultural Safety Network provides some guidelines in dealing with the media. Before you jump to press conferences and television interviews, think on a personal level. What photos do you have of your children or visitors on the farm? Are they "safe" looking photos where they are not in harm's way? Cute photos, which are always popular, should always convey safety. Photos with toddlers on moving tractors, near machinery parts, ATVs, or adolescents behind the wheel of the farm truck do not convey safety.
We all like to see youth enjoying life on the farm. Photos and video are shared quickly and far more often than they were in previous generations through Facebook and Youtube. Just remember when you are snapping that photo, ask yourself, am I promoting life on a farm in a safe and positive manner? I am not naïve enough to believe that every single safety measure is followed on every single farm, everyday, but when it comes to sharing the message, we need to work toward that ideal.
Here are some helpful reminders when sharing photos:
- Is this task age appropriate or dangerous for this child? In the above photo you can see that the bottle is supported by the adult and the child is situated so that abrupt head movements by the calf could not injure the boy.
- For this task, should the youth be wearing gloves, goggles, sturdy shoes/boots or other safety attire? A shoeless child standing next to their fair heifer might cause a giggle, but not the image we want to portray.
- For those boys with their toys (tractor) shots, are the ROPS, guards, or shields in place?
- Drawstrings on sweatshirts, untied shoelaces, and long, unsecured hair can be pulled into fans and augers if not restrained. Snapshots should convey personal safety, too.
- Photos of people on moving truck tailgates and front mounted buckets are all "out".
What to say:
Again, while not always in a structured public forum, the topic of farm safety can surface over a family get-together or at a fair. According to the media guidelines on agricultural safety, they suggest using the word "incident" when an injury or death occurred instead of "accident". An accident is seen as bad luck or unforeseeable. But, in the majority of these cases, the situation was preventable. They also recommend not romanticizing the incident of a child's death on the farm with comments like "he or she died doing what they loved." It implies that it was acceptable to have a child in a dangerous and preventable situation.
We all want young and old alike to be safe around the farm and share the positive message with others. To learn more about conveying the positive and safe image of agriculture download the pdf, Childhood Agricultural Safety Network's Media Guidelines.

There are way more new music releases each month than we have spare brain cells around here. Thirty-second Reviews is our way of remedying that and acknowledging some of the stuff we didn't manage to review more formally. These reviews, which we'll post pretty much when we feel like it, will be specially formatted in "blurb." Let's begin with that teen-pop idol who (indirectly) caused President Obama to call Kanye a "jackass."
Taylor Swift, Red
Release date: October 22, 2012
As benign as she may appear on Papa John's pizza boxes, some folks have named Taylor Swift pop culture's number one enemy against progressive social values. And yes, her whole pouty virginal shtick, the passive aggressive Kanye West drama at the VMAs, and her insistence on singing about boy crushes from the viewpoint of the helplessly googly-eyed is enough to justifiably raise the hackles on anyone who embraces the term "sex positivity." But hear me out: Once you get past the fact that her bread-and-butter is the Twilight franchise demographic, Red feels like it was sung by someone with more self respect than that wimp on the bleachers trying to get some dude to break up with his girlfriend in 2008. "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" is the album's refreshingly decisive single, which gives me hope that perhaps T-Swift might put out a record one day that will inspire adolescent girls to stop giving so many shits about what teenage boys think of them. It's a long shot, I know. Until then, has anyone else noticed that Taylor Swift's recent fashion choices (and love of horseback riding) bear an uncanny resemblance to Ann Romney's?
The Coup, Sorry to Bother You
Release date: October 30, 2012
Regardless of personal politics, "protest music" in the 21st century can often trigger my gag reflex. Perhaps it was the oversaturation of bad guitar playing heard during Occupy proceedings, or seeing Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello refer to himself over and over again in the third person as the "Nightwatchman." But Oakland's Boots Riley, Pam the Funkstress, and the Marxist hip-hop collab The Coup avoid the self-aggrandizing—instead, they opt for a brand of lefty political confrontation that's imaginative, funny, and very, very danceable. Sorry to Bother You is another funky Coup triumph of deft, charged flow—their first since 2006. Riley and company are also probably the only ones out there who can work in a lyric like, "Economics is a symphony of hunger and theft," without sounding like pedantic jerks or soapbox preachers.
Angel Haze, "Cleaning Out My Closet"
Release date: October 25, 2012
Last week, a rising, 21-year-old rapper who goes by the name Angel Haze did something staggeringly brave. She released a song called "Cleaning Out My Closet" off her six-track Classick mixtape, which detailed a childhood of sexual abuse in blustering, unflinching verse. I don't know if rap's decades-old legacy as a medium rife with misogyny can be undone in 4 minutes and 30 seconds, but who knows? This track and its artist could end up being game changers. Let Haze show you why. (Be warned: This is not an easy listen.)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor, 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
Release date: October 1, 2012
In other "political" music news, cryptic Canadian post-rock tribe Godspeed You! Black Emperor recently released its first full-length record since 2002, and it came with a set of explicit policy positions on the jacket: "Fuck le Plan Nord. Fuck la loi 78." Here, GYBE was referring to Quebec's controversial $80 billion plan to develop its mineral and timber resources, as well as a law to restrict the province's pot-banging student protests against tuition hikes. "Music should be about things are not OK, or else shouldn't exist at all," the band told UK paper the Guardian. After a decade that's weathered all manner of manicured drone and apathetic chillwave spinoffs in the band's absence, this simmering, gritty latest is a welcome return. Now go read about why Godspeed You! thinks the "rock-biz" is like watching "millionaires piss on cherubs."

On the right, The Lumineers' Jeremiah Fraites.
The scene preceeding The Lumineers' early afternoon set at San Francisco's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival was just about as competitive as that portrayed in local news coverage of shoppers streaming into Walmart on Black Friday. Attendants barked at twenty-somethings ducking ropes in pursuit of a view, the grass section in front of the stage held about one fan per square foot, and the aisle up through the middle of the meadow transformed into a slow-moving mosh pit. It wasn't even 3 p.m. I slinked through the crowd and miraculously landed an edge of someone's tarp.
Jeremiah Fraites, the Denver-based folk band's drummer, remembers the afternoon in much the same way: "When we actually took the stage, every single vantage point, every spot where a human being could be, there was one—surrounding us." The entire Eucalyptus-shaded hill behind the stage was covered with humanity, as were the bushes flanking the sides of the small outdoor arena. I spotted two shirtless dudes draped over tree branches, ready to soak it in. "It made us feel pretty damn good about that being our first time at Hardly Strictly," Fraites told me a few days after the performance.

Last Thursday, Mitt Romney told a group of Ohio autoworkers that Chrysler was planning to move Jeep production to China. Chrysler very quickly explained the real story: they're thinking about opening new plants in China to sell Jeeps into the Chinese market. No American plants are going to be shuttered.
But the Romney campaign decided none of this mattered. They want to win Ohio, so they're running ads that say this:
Obama took GM and Chrysler into bankruptcy, and sold Chrysler to Italians who are going to build Jeeps in China. Mitt Romney will fight for every American job.
Obama took GM and Chrysler into bankruptcy, and sold Chrysler to Italians who are going to build Jeeps in China. Mitt Romney will fight for every American job.
Technically, every word of this is true. Obama did force GM and Chrysler through a managed bankruptcy. Fiat did end up buying Chrysler. And Chrysler is thinking about building Jeeps in China. But remember my three-part test to judge how deceptive a statement is?
On this scale, Romney's ad rates about 9 out of 10 on the deceptiveness scale. He's obviously trying to imply that American jobs will be shipped overseas; stating things accurately would require wholesale revisions; and doing so would completely destroy Romney's point. But he doesn't care. He's got an election to win, and if scaring Ohio autoworkers is what it takes, then that's what it takes. It's truly nauseating.

I might blog this in more detail later, but for now I'll just do something quick. I'm now the proud owner of an Android Tablet, an Asus Transformer Infinity, and overall it's a pretty nice device. But I've sure had trouble finding a decent browser for it. The basic problem, as near as I can tell, is that Android browsers are all designed for phones, and haven't really been rewritten to make sense on a device with more screen real estate. Presumably this will get fixed over time. Beyond that, though, the performance is pretty sucky on all of them.
Opera's rendering performance is actually pretty good. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with MoJo's famously finicky back-end blogging software, so it's out. Firefox has so-so rendering performance, but also doesn't work with MoJo's back end. The stock browser is so-so too. And then there's Chrome.
I didn't even try it at first, because even the desktop version doesn't work with MoJo's back end. But finally I gave it a whirl, and it turns out to be 100% compatible with our blogging software. Hooray! Their bookmark system is a little wiggy, but also OK. Double hooray! But performance. Oh my. I swear, the rendering engine looks like it was written by a five-year-old. It's slow and jerky on most sites, really slow and jerky on other sites, and so bad that it renders other sites all but unusable. (Including, ironically, Google Groups.)
In fact, the performance is so laughably bad that I half wonder if it's somehow my fault. I can't figure out how, though. I'm running the latest version of Android, the latest version of Chrome, the performance setting is on High, the Tegra 3 processor on the Asus is supposed to be pretty fast, and as far as I know, there are no background tasks running that could slow it down.
Anyone else have this problem? Am I imagining things? This just seems really weird. Aside from this, feel free to consider this an open thread on Android, tablets, and computing in general. (Keep in mind, however, that I already own an iPad, so telling me to get a Mac really won't do much good.)

Since June 1, more than 900,000 election ads have run on cable and broadcast television. So it's no wonder that residents of battleground states are probably marking off the days until their TVs will all switch back to showing the usual car, soda, and fast food commercials. One group, however, isn't interested in waiting that long: unPAC, which has previously brought us such treats as super-PAC-themed Pac-Man, is raising money to air a one-minute silent ad in the attack ad-saturated swing state of Ohio. (For just $75 it will even throw in a free unF*CK AMERICA tote bag!)
Have a look:
The ad, a protest against the $2 billion presidential campaign, is meant to be a "message to politicians, special interest groups and the media: we won't stand by idly while our democracy is bought." unPAC is a collaborative effort between the consumer advocacy group Purpose, the campaign finance reform group United Republic, and Rootstrikers, which was founded by Harvard Law professor Lawrence Lessig.

Iraq war veteran Scott Olsen showed up in a wheelchair at yesterday's march marking the one-year anniversary of the Occupy Oakland camp raid. But this time his injury hadn't been inflicted by police: Last week he was hit by a car while riding his bike, but it was nothing serious, he told me. Olsen became an international face of the Occupy movement last October after he was struck in the head and critically injured by a bean bag round fired by an Oakland police officer during the protest that followed the raid. In contrast to that long night in 2011, "This night has been great," an upbeat Olsen said. "I'm glad it has remained peaceful and no one has had to go to the hospital."
The night remained peaceful, but Oakland residents hadn't been confident that it would be. Banks boarded up their windows. The city sent out a press release noting the $4.9 million spent policing Occupy Oakland, and the $93,000 spent restoring the lawn outside City Hall that had been destroyed by the encampment last year. An anonymous Twitter account sprang up with a profile that declared, "Occupy Oakland: Confusing Oakland for Wall Street since 2011." It railed against black bloc vandals and tweeted that "protesting in a fiscally troubled city benefits nobody and only hurts the citizens. For what gain?"

By now you've already heard about Hurricane Sandy. Or Frankenstorm. Or the Snowincane, if you prefer. As I write this, the storm is barreling toward the continental United States, promising to wreck havoc on the coastal Mid-Atlantic and New England.
It's supposed to hit coastal Virginia, where I've spent quite a bit of time in the past few months reporting about sea level rise, storm surges, and efforts to make communities safer. You'll have to wait a bit longer for that piece, but in the mean time, Sandy is a good reminder of what some regions of the country are up against.
Sure, this region does get big storms. There was Hurricane Isabel in 2003, a Nor'easter named Ernesto in 2006, Nor'Ida in 2009. In August 2011 they got Hurricane Irene. But sea level rise makes everything worse. Higher sea levels mean bigger storm surges and more damage to coastal regions.
Tide measurements have found that the sea level on Virginia's Middle Peninsula has risen 14.5 inches in the past 100 years, and scientists expect the seas here to rise another 27.2 inches by the end of the century. Overall, sea level is rising four times faster along the east coast of the US than the global average. The area along the Chesapeake Bay is particularly at risk, because the ground is sinking as the seas are rising.
In the US, we have 4,514 miles of shoreline—20 percent our total miles of coastline—that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says is highly vulnerable to sea level rise. That includes 82 percent of Virginia's coast. You can see what that means for storm surges with this great map that Climate Central created. Jeff Masters, the director of meteorology at Weather Underground, says we can expect 3 to 6 foot storm surges where Sandy makes landfall.
Climate change is already speeding up sea-level rise. But it's also making mega storms more likely. A warmer climate and more moisture in the atmosphere makes for more extreme storms, as Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research explains. As Masters put it, "I call it being on steroids kind of for the atmosphere."
Experts are already projecting that Sandy will be a billion-dollar disaster for the US. Last year, Irene alone causing $4.3 billion in losses—and that was just one of 14 storms that cost at least a billion dollars. And while damage caused by a storm like Sandy can be expensive for people who live in its path, it's also costly for everyone else: After Social Security, the National Flood Insurance Program is the second largest fiscal liability for the US government, insuring $527 billion of assets in the coastal flood plain. Private flood insurance is difficult, if not impossible, to come by.
"This is going to be bad, but if we continue along this path of carbon pollution, it's just going to be a lot worse," says Amanda Staudt, a senior scientist with the National Wildlife Federation based in Reston, Va.—which is also expected to be hit by the storm. "Every time one of these disasters starts unfolding that clearly has a signature of a climate change impact, I begin to think that maybe this will be the time people will get it, that is what climate change means for us."

By making a few simple changes it is possible to have a healthy Christmas Day without forgoing the festive fun.
By including seasonal fruit and vegetables into the day's festivities, you can cut back on the calories without compromising on flavour, says nutritionist Bronwen Anderson.
"As we head into the silly season the temptation to let go and overeat is rife but there are many ways to still enjoy the festivities without overindulging or feeling like you are missing out. Too many high calorie treats and heading back for seconds makes it easy to blow the calorie balance out of the water on Christmas Day. However, by finding ways to incorporate more fruit and vegetables into your Christmas Day breakfast, lunch and dinner and replace larger servings of high calorie foods with lower calorie fruit and vegetables, you can still enjoy your day, feel full and satisfied on fewer calories, yet still get to enjoy great variety," says Bronwen.
"Fruit and vegetables are water-rich foods that not only fill you up, they do so on fewer calories, which helps to maintain a healthy body weight," says Bronwen. "Colour is key when it comes to fruit and vegetables so aim to eat a rainbow of colour every day. It will be the best thing you can do for your body and overall wellbeing this Christmas."
Here are 10 ways to add extra fruit and vegetables to your Christmas Day meals.
Indulge in this season's beautiful berries with a festive fruit salad for a fresh start on Christmas morning. Take sweet juicy strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, add a squeeze of lemon and fresh mint for some zing. Serve with dollops of Greek yoghurt.
Scrambled eggs, salmon and bagels are popular choices for brunch on Christmas Day. Pile baby spinach leaves on top of a bagel, add thinly sliced smoked salmon with deliciously fluffy scrambled eggs. Oven roast vine tomatoes until soft, sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs and serve on the side.
If you're saving yourself for a big celebration lunch a breakfast smoothie is a great option. Whiz up a banana, a handful of frozen berries, low fat milk, yogurt and maple syrup to see you through the morning.
Christmas is the perfect time to fill the cake tins with delicious home baking. For a lighter breakfast option, impress guests with warm apple and cinnamon muffins fresh from the oven.
Avoid fat-laden dips and spreads and serve sticks of carrot, celery, cucumber, orange segments and grapes for finger food instead.
Perk up platters with frozen grapes or thinly sliced nectarine and pawpaw as a delightful addition to any cheeseboard.
Barbequed vegetables are a lovely and colourful alternative to heavy roast vegetable dishes. Asparagus, zucchini, pumpkin and capsicum look gorgeous and are appetising. Top this combination with parsley and lemon wedges, then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
For a new colourful twist on the traditional stuffing, add dried fruit like apricots, cranberries and apple with chopped capsicum for a festive flavour.
Mini meringues topped with whipped cream, low fat yoghurt or fat-free fromage frais, sliced strawberries, bananas, grapes and passionfruit, is a great option. Or impress with a vanilla pannacotta and a strawberry salsa.
For a low fat, fresh tasting pudding sprinkle brown sugar over halved peaches or nectarines and dot with low fat spread. Bake until golden and serve with a spoonful of crème fraîche or yogurt. This is perfect for entertaining a crowd on a budget.

I got a bit of a hobby bug the other day because I can't keep bees until next year. I decided on trying to create mead. I've had mead once in the past with my family- it was a very sweet mead and we all decided on trying it that mead is terrible. We generally like dry wines so I set out to create a dry mead in attempt to prove mead can be just as good as any wine. After reading the intro and basics of the compleat meadmaker I decided on a variation of his orange blossum beginner mead recipe.
Basically its 4 gal water, and 12 lbs of orange blossom honey. Yeast energiser and nutrient were included. Also the brew supply store I visited recommended Lavin EC-1118. I'm also going to be patient and let this mature until around next year at chrismas.
From what I understand I should end up with a very basic, clean dry mead- almost like a dry white wine I think.
So far "fred" my 5 gal batch of mead has been alive for only a day and is slowly gurgling away with his fermentation seal. However, last night I wondered to myself- should I add something?
I immediatly dismissed using any fruits because I didn't want a fruity sweet wine, but now that its still only a day old I'm wondering if there are things to add to my basic mead that will improve it. I don't want to add in anything that is based on flavor preferances, but something that everyone could agree would improve it. Light spices, wood chips, fruits- does anyone have any suggestions to things I should add to improve it?
I figure everyone likes to put a bit of salt on their food- is there something I can put in my mead that everyone agrees will improve it?

I'm not a big fan of chess but if I do play it, at least I want it to look good. Brutal Chess certainly fulfills this with excellent 3D graphics and some cool features to keep the game interesting.
Despite the name Brutal Chess, the game is in no way violent or brutal. The rules and gameplay are as in any other Chess game except here you can choose some pretty cool chess piece designs and the 3D graphics make it look great. The developers have added a few other touches of realism too including shadows, the ability to rotate the camera in any position and history arrows to show your previous moves.
However, because the game is under constant development, it is prone to bugs. One is that you can't move white pawns backwards and it does have problems with operating systems earlier than XP according to the developers. The game will soon utilize what's called the Free Internet Chess Server (FICS) which allows chess fans from all over the world to play against each other.
To connect to FICS you need to open a socket to freechess.org on port 5000 in your router and you'll be able to play against anyone anywhere which will enhance the game greatly.

Reviews of this property
Very good welcome when we arrived the apartment late in the evening. The apartment is large and enough space for the 5 of us. Nice street that was decorated for Halloween. Short walk to the Subway that took us downtown in 20 minutes. The only 'but' is that the apartment was not very clean.
My best friend and I decided to go away on a weekend trip to N.Y and we had such a great visit because we booked this location. It's very close to the subway were we could hop on the train and take a short ride 20 min to Time Square and all the other major attractions. We saved so much money but not booking an overpriced hotel downtown.
The house décor is highly impressive and the house was really clean! The pictures on the site capture a lot of the apartments beauty but actually being there and feeling the ambiance really makes you feel at home. We feel like we now have a second home in New York. Total forgot when we booked that it was two floors and we had our own private entrance. Right around the corner from the house is an amazing Italian restaurant and a Target. One of the best things about this location is how secure we felt. As two females we felt very safe walking to and from the apartment in the early morning and evening, we actually ended up taking public transportation the entire time because it was so convenient. Their seems to be a family vibe to the street the house is on and the neighbors where welcoming and said good morning to us. I will definitely book another one of Grover's locations he was so helpful and provided us with maps, local attraction brochures and ideas of what to do on our trip. Such a super nice guy. I highly recommend anyone who wants to visit the city and have the comforts of home to book this location! Just don't book on the days I want to return lol
Well received by Lyndon! Great location and safe. From 146 St. you'll quickly and easily in Manhattan. The price / performance ratio is okay! Downside is that some time had been allowed to go. Using the vacuum the house Was pretty dusty!
Goed ontvangst door Lyndon! Prima locatie en veilig. Vanaf de 146 St. kom je snel en makkelijk in Manhattan. De prijs/kwaliteitverhouding is okay! Minpuntje is dat men wel even met de stofzuiger door het huis had mogen gaan. Was behoorlijk stoffig!
We traveled to New York for the Thanksgiving Holiday from Chicago. My husband being from the East Coast, really wanted to spend a holiday with friends and family. This beautiful affordable apartment made this dream of his so much easier. I was able to cook effortlessly for 6 people, utilizing all of the tools that the home was already equipped with. It's cozy enough to have family fun, yet spacious enough to go into our own areas of the home for some peace and quiet. The neighborhood was quiet and had tons of stores within walking distance, like Target, Sketchers, and even a Chase Bank. The area was surrounded by smiling faces and seemed very safe and family friendly. Each bedroom had very comfortable beds with plush bedding allowing us to sleep in the city that never sleeps! We rented a Zipcar for 1 day during our stay and there was easy street parking which was very helpful, considering it was cold. The train is about 1 block from the home, taking us to Times Square in about 15 min., even on "Black Friday." The WIFI was also a huge plus, we had 2 Laptops and 3 Ipads connected and it never slowed down! I'm a modern day woman and can appreciate a nicely decorated home, and the décor made you feel like somewhere really cared about the place and not like you were in a 1980's movie. The pictures were very accurate! Although, this was a family trip, I may come back in the summer and use the home for a girls NYC trip.
We had a great week in the apartment it is very comfortable, clean and there is lots of room. The kitchen is well stocked if you choose to cook. There was the two of us, so we were spoilt for choice of beds. The free wifi is great and a great choicer of DVD's. The shower could do with some more power but does the job ! There are plenty of towels and spare bedding which was really good. The area is fine locals are polite. You are very close to the Metro maps included. We were able to leave our bags in the apartment until late afternoon after check out, this was so helpful as we had a late flight. Would highly recommend and use again if we return to New York. Many thanks.
We had a good week in the apartment. You think in advance that an apartment in the Bronx may be nothing but it is indeed a quiet street near the subway. It remains New York and no village on the flat candlesticks so you always hear something in the background.
The apartment has two floors so our daughter and we had a private floor too: we could on our own and still close together.
It's not super Luzé apartment but that is no problem: you're meestens still on the road. And you can watch a DVD, evening play a game or read a book.
In short, highly recommended and certainly for this price! Score on a scale of 1-10: a spacious 7.
We hebben een goede week gehad in het apartement. Je denkt op voorhand dat een apartement in de Bronx niets kan zijn maar het is inderdaad een rustige straat dichtbij de metro. Het blijft wel New York en geen dorp op het plattekand dus je hoort altijd wel wat op de achtergrond.
Het apartement heeft twee etages zodat onze dochter een eigen etage had en wij ook: we konden op onszelf zijn en toch dichtbij elkaar.
Het is geen super de luze apartement maar dat is geen probleem: je bent meestens toch op pad. En 's avonds kun je een dvd kijken, een spelletje spelen of een boek lezen.
Kortom, een aanrader en zeker voor deze prijs !! Score op een schaal van 1-10: een ruime 7.
Initially some doubts about the location (Bronx) for traveling as two women, but I can say that it was not necessary. The metro Grand Concourse is really about every corner, there are fine restaurants nearby (Giovanni's example) and even a mall with a Target inside.
The street is very quiet and looks fine, absolutely no noise at night.
We have felt very safe (but are not not come home after 11 hours).
The apartment is very spacious to newyork's understanding!! it really looks like the one on the pictures and neat and colorful interior has been thought everywhere. Full equipped kitchen, sheets, towels hairdryer, everything is there. Also nice books, magazines, DVDs ... It is clean (but not extremely fine) and the receipt by Lyndon is very nice, he is very friendly to deal with and willing to answer all questions, even later in the day that you stay.
The beds are fine, the shower is a bit tricky, you have to be friends to see it, once you have figured out how to get hot water this will be ..
We were very excited, so much space and luxury for so little money! We will be back and recommend it to everyone. With the subway you in 20 minutes to Times Square .. books so!
Aanvankelijk wat twijfels over de locatie (Bronx) want reizend als twee vrouwen, maar ik kan zeggen dat dat nergens voor nodig was. Het metrostation Grand Concourse is echt ongeveer om de hoek, er zijn prima restaurants in de buurt (Giovanni's bv) en zelfs een Mall met een Target erin.
Het straatje is heel rustig en ziet er prima uit, snachts absoluut geen herrie.
We hebben ons heel veilig gevoeld (maar zijn dan ook niet niet na 11 uur thuis gekomen).
Het appartement is naar newyork's begrip erg ruim!!! het ziet er echt zo uit als op de foto's en keurig en kleurig ingericht, overal is aangedacht. Vol ingerichte keuken, lakens, handdoeken fohn, alles is er. Ook leuke boeken, tijdschriften, dvd's... Het is schoon (niet extreem maar prima) en de ontvangst door Lyndon is erg prettig, hij is heel vriendelijk in de omgang en bereid om alle vragen te beantwoorden , ook verderop in de dagen dat je verblijft.
De bedden zijn prima, de douche is wat lastig, daar moet je vriendjes mee zien te worden, als je eenmaal door hebt hoe warm water te krijgen dan gaat het wel..
Wij waren erg enthousiast, zoveel ruimte en luxe voor zo weinig geld! We komen zeker terug en raden het iedereen aan. Met de subway ben je in 20 minuten op TImesSquare.. boeken dus!
The house is large and very nicely decorated. It is located in a quiet side street, two blocks from the nearest subway. Good shopping nearby. Our contact person Lynden was very nice, very helpful and we were able to reach him at any time.
Although South Bronx, we felt very safe. Highly recommended apartment.
Das Haus ist groß und sehr schön eingerichtet. Es liegt in einer ruhigen Seitenstraße, zwei Blocks von der nächsten U-Bahn entfernt. Gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe. Unsere Kontaktperson Lynden war sehr nett, äußerst hilfreich und wir konnten ihn jederzeit erreichen.
Obwohl South-Bronx haben wir uns sehr sicher gefühlt. Absolut empfehlenswertes Appartement.
My friend and I stayed for ten days in NYC in the house of Grover. First of all, we arrived much later than expected, but our host waited all the time for us. What a great hospitality. Also, we could drink a glass of wine and there were bottles of water for us. Tea and coffee were also included. Really kind!
Next; The house was perfect! We had our own bedrooms and we could have cooked for ourself. There was plenty of room and everything you needed, like towels, bed linen etc, was there. The house was VERY CLEAN which was great to see. A little note, the room at the street side, can be a little bit noisy but hey it is New York City. Also, a big plus, there was FREE wifi!!
The neighborhood was okay and very safe, but most of the time we spent in Manhattan and surroundings. The Yankee stadium is very near by, so we went to a match. Great! Around the house there are several shops and restaurants. Most important for us, there was a subway (train) 5 minutes walk from our house. Super close to the house!!!!
I can recommended this place to everyone who's looking for much space (two full floors) and a good price. Can't wait to return to this place again!!
I traveled with 2 other guests and as out-of-towners who are not at all familiar with NY we were a little nervous about staying outside of New York City/Manhattan where we would be doing most of our shopping and sightseeing. We quickly found that there was no need to worry because this apartment is on a relatively quiet street and literally around the corner from the train, plus it was just a 20 minute train ride from Penn Station! When we arrived we were greeted at the door by our host who was available all weekend to help us and to answer any questions that we had. The apartment looks just like the pictures. The colors and interior design touches made us fall in love with "our apartment" for the weekend. All the bedrooms are a good size and we slept very well in our clean and comfortable beds. Even though we didn't cook anything we could have because the kitchen is fully stocked with all the dishes, cookware and utensils you would need. The wifi signal was strong and there were so many complimentary books and movies to enjoy (which we did). We really loved that we didn't have to walk far to find anything! There is plenty within walking distance—convenience stores, fast food and restaurants (there is a great Italian restaurant Giovanni's that is a 3 minute walk away). We found that Yankee Stadium and Bronx terminal market (with Target, Marshalls, Applebees, BJ's etc.) were just a 10 minute walk away. The neighborhood was safe and pretty quiet for the most part.
It seemed like this was a street with homeowners and families and most of the people we encountered greeted us with a smile or "hello". If I had to say anything that I would change I would say that I wish the bathroom was updated a bit but the 3 bedrooms, living room, office and kitchen more than make up for that! I recommend this place to anyone looking for a stylish, spacious, accommodating, convenient and affordable place to stay while visiting New York city. I can't believe we got a whole apartment for the weekend for less that we would pay for one night in a Manhattan hotel!"
