Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .
[Note: The tags for the various schools are not definitive as many books span multiple traditions, etc. They are meant to use as a starting point for exploring this collection.]
Entering the Way of the Great Vehicle
Dzogchen as the Culmination of the MahāyanāRongzom Chökyi Zangpo wrote this treatise in the eleventh century during the renaissance of Buddhism in Tibet that was spurred by the influx of new translations of Indian Buddhist texts, tantras, and esoteric transmissions from India. For political and religious reasons, adherents of the "new schools" of Tibetan Buddhism fostered by these new translations cast the older tradition of lineages and transmissions as impure and decadent. Rongzompa composed the work… Read More

Together, these texts not only discuss the "hidden meaning" of the prajñaparamita sutras—the paths and bhumis of sravakas, pratyekabuddhas, and bodhisattvas—but also serve as contemplative manuals for the explicit topic of these sutras—emptiness—and how it is to be understood on the progressive… Read More

Mining for Wisdom within Delusion
Maitreya's Distinction between Phenomena and the Nature of Phenomena and Its Indian and Tibetan CommentariesMaitreya's Distinction between Phenomena and the Nature of Phenomena distinguishes the illusory phenomenal world of saṃsāra produced by the confused dualistic mind from the ultimate reality that is mind's true nature. The transition from the one to the other is the process of "mining for wisdom within delusion." Maitreya's text calls this "the fundamental change," which refers to the vanishing of delusive appearances through practicing the path, thus revealing the… Read More

We had a very good time in Madrid. The apartment is right in the centre and nearby everything usual tourists like us want to visit! It is a bit noisy, because it is situated on a corner of two streets with traffic. The apartment has everything you need and our host was friendly and helpful.
Mooi hoek appartement op prima locatie in het centrum. Alle bezienswaardigheden op loopafstand. Wel veel geluid van het drukke verkeer.

Just 45 minutes by car from Ciudad Constitución and about 2.5 hours from Loreto, Bahía Magdalena is the southernmost of the three gray-whale calving lagoons on the Pacific coast of the Baja Peninsula. (Laguna Ojo de Liebre near Guerrero Negro and Laguna San Ignacio are the other two.) Whale-watching tours that depart from Mulegé, Loreto, or La Paz generally head for this bay.
It is possible on some days to view the whale activity from a distance on shore near Puerto López Mateos, but this doesn't compare to the experience of getting up close on a boat. Look for a viewing area with a parking lot north of the fish-processing plant.
A three- to four-hour panga tour costs about US$65 per person for up to four people, and prices are likely to fluctuate with fuel prices. It can be difficult—and dangerous—to cruise the lagoon when the winter winds kick up, so tour operators generally recommend that you allow an extra day or two on your visit in case the weather doesn't cooperate. In addition to the whales, you'll likely spot sea lions and a variety of marine birds. Beware of any panguero who offers to take you out in inclement weather; your chances of seeing the whales will be slim and the danger factor will be unnecessarily high.
Boat drivers must be licensed to drive in the lagoons during the whale- calving season. Ask at Hotel Brennan in San Carlos for a guide or head down to the embarcadero on the west side of town near the lighthouse to hire someone directly.
Viajes Mar y Arena (tel. 613/136-0076, fax 613/136-0232), Brennan's y Asociados (tel. 613/136-0288, fax 613/136-0019, email@example.com), and Unión de Lancheros y Servicios Turísticos de Puerto San Carlos (ULYSTOURS) (tel. 613/136-0253, Crispín Mendoza) are all licensed to run guided boat tours.
In Puerto López Mateos, several operators are authorized to take tourists on whale-watching tours. They include Unión de Lancheros Touristicos (tel. 613/131-5114), Aquendi (tel. 613/131-5164 or -5105 or -5306, US$80/hour, up to 6 people), and Renta de Lanchas Juana Rosas III (tel. 613/113-9195 or 613/131-5123) The offices for all these businesses are located at the port.
Baja Expeditions (612/123-4900 or U.S. tel. 800/843-6967) offers highly recommended "catered camping" trips to Bahía Magdalena for US$240 per person per night (double occupancy). During the day, you'll go whale-watching, kayaking, or beach walking, and in the evening, you can hear guest speakers talk about local marine life.
Family-run Mag Bay Tours (U.S. tel. 215/667-8470) started out as a surf camp and then added whale-watching and sportfishing services; the company emphasizes a sustainable, low-impact approach to tourism. It has two semipermanent base camps: Its surf camp is located on the northern point of Bahía Santa María, and the whale-watching camp is inside Bahía Magdalena. Guests stay in dome-shaped tents that are big enough to stand up in. Each has a porch area that is protected from the wind. The camp provides sleeping bags, pillows, and cots with air mattresses. In winter you can book day trips from three to five hours in length or overnight packages that include all meals and transportation from San Carlos. A basic "eco-adventure" package (US$250 per person) includes two days and one night of accommodations with about seven hours of whale-watching over the two days. In summer eight-day surfing trips cost US$1,360.
Aside from watching for whales in winter and surfing in summer, clam-digging, campfires, bird-watching, and beachcombing are all part of the experience.

Re: An Ethical Hacker must have these skills...
By this I mean is a general interest for IT Security and all that it encompases. The Security field is very varied with so many subject domains, but dont worry about becoming the guru of everything security. Personally I feel its important to have a high level understanding of all of these domains, but by no means be the master of all.
As you start looking at InfoSec you will find what it is that floats your boat, these maybe technical or soft related skill sets, but as long as you enjoy it and you have passion you can succed.
All the best on the journey.

Mission Hospital receives Commission on Cancer's "Outstanding Achievement Award"
The Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American Colleges of Surgeons (ACoS) recently announced Mission Hospital as a recipient of one of its "Outstanding Achievement Awards" for providing quality care to cancer patients. This award, which was based on an independent survey conducted in 2011, recognizes cancer programs across the country that achieve certain levels of excellence in cancer care.
The award is granted to facilities demonstrating a "Commendation" level of compliance in six areas of their cancer program: cancer committee leadership, cancer data management, clinical management, research, community outreach and quality improvement.
Mission is one of 106 currently accredited cancer programs across the country to receive the award. Click to view a complete list of award recipients.
The award continues a track record of quality improvement under Mission President and CEO Ronald A. Paulus, MD, who assumed leadership of the health system in September 2010. Most recently, Mission Hospital was named to The Community Value 100 list compiled by Cleverley & Associates, which recognizes hospitals that bring value to their community, are financially viable, and provide high quality patient care. Mission Health was also recently named by Thomson Reuters as one of the top 15 health systems in the nation. Mission Hospital was named one of the country's Top 100 hospitals by Thomson Reuters for the fourth-straight year.
"This recognition by the Commission on Cancer shows the tremendous strides in patient care and quality we've made," Mission Senior Vice President and Chief Quality Officer William Maples, MD said. "It's important to continue providing the highest level of care to all our patients in western North Carolina, including our cancer patients. We are committed to raising the bar in all areas of quality improvement at Mission."
The level of compliance associated with the CoC Outstanding Achievement Award is determined during an on-site evaluation by a physician surveyor, who is unaffiliated with the hospital. Facilities must receive a positive compliance rating for 29 cancer program standards.
CoC's Accreditation Program sets quality-of-care standards for cancer programs and reviews the programs to ensure they conform to those standards. Accreditation by the CoC is given only to those facilities that have committed to providing the highest level of quality cancer care and that undergo a rigorous evaluation process of their performance.
To maintain accreditation, facilities with the CoC-accredited cancer programs must undergo an on-site review every three years.

Behind this classical french entrance and courtyard, oakwood brown billiardcoated stairways leads you to the intimicy of a styled well equipped 21th century appartment, giving you a sense of how life could be for an american in Paris or wherever you come from.
Great place to stay in Paris. Nicolas informed us very well in advance so the location was easy to find. We would like to use this appartment in the future.
We enjoyed staying in Nicolas' apartment.
Apartment is very good located in the city, with very good access to the public transport.
Apartment is rather small but very nice and arranged in a charming manner.
Description of the apartment is correct. You should be aware of steep stairs – it didn't really bother us however.
The presentation with advises Nicolas sent us was very helpful.
We can recommend the apartment for a visit in Paris.

It's a nice apartment in a quite street. Clean, with a rain-shower and a comfortable bed. Neighbours were a little bit noisy but fortunately not at night.
We recommend it!
We were very satisfied with this appartment. Felt home at once, near metro and supermarket/bakery. A place to return to, when we go to Paris the next time.
The apartament is very nice and confortable for 4 people. It's in a good zone of Paris. Only thing, there isn't elevator in the building.
I have not met Nicolas but talked by phone and he was very kind.
Nicolas was very helpful. It was a great time staying in Paris. Though I wished they had instructions written for the washing machine as everything written on it was in French and I had hard time figuring how to make it work. Everything else was provided well in terms of Amenities.
Very quick access from the metro station near by. Have lot of interesting restaurants and places @2 min walking distance.
Overall a great Experience!

Hi all! Maybe someday I'll be smart enough to help somebody out once.
I went out to my one hive yesterday and did some stuff (changed out the FGMO cords and removed the grease patties, checked brood, bee apperance, measured cell sizes, sugared for mites and mite count, checked for honey and pollen and SHB) that is becoming routine after five times in six-and-a-half weeks. I found brood in various stages along with fifteen capped and being capped drone brood. The queen showed up and she's the same one they raised out of the emergency cells (same small black spot on abdomen at wing's edge and one lighter leg) they did right after I got them from the wall.
Well I also found a supercedure cell with uncapped queen larvae inside and she's pretty good sized to boot. The current queen isn't too bad on brood patterning, however she lays all over the place unless that cell has nectar/honey. Her mother, on the other hand, had an excellent textbook brood pattern. Right now I am considering letting them supercede (I think they will even if I try and stop them since it's their future they are deciding) and quickly build a three frame nuc to bank her with one frame of brood and one food and one empty foundationless frame. My thoughts are that the weather can normally be pretty mild here until the end of October and then it's all over the place until December. They are still working Trumpet Creeper and have started to bring in something else and lots of pollen.
If all goes well and the new queen works out the hive will have about a month to try and play catch up for the winter. If they can't catch up in time and the new queen is a keeper then I can always kill or leave the old queen and do a newspaper type combine to up the numbers. If the number of the hive are good I was thinking of building an observation hive and talk my wife into having it inside with an access tube to the outdoors.
I am concerned because my numbers are low any way and build up was even more delayed with the girls raising their current queen. Now with a new queen on the way I'm afraid it's too close to winter and I'm dooming them. On the other hand I could move both queens and order a laying queen and have hopefully three that can still be made into one if needed. What do you think?
I have done searches, am not altogether sure that any of them hit this subject. Also for some reason it only went back a few months. Thanks all.

What chicken soup is to the Jewish culture, pho is to the Vietnamese. A steaming bowl of this soup seemed just the right thing on a recent windy, wintry night. It must have been calling to lots of other folks, too: college students, families from the neighborhood, even an acquaintance from Fall River, who was making a regular stop on his way home. Though HON (House of Noodles) wasn't the first Vietnamese restaurant in Rhode Island, it was a treat to find a menu full of pho options when Quyen Lee opened her restaurant in 2001.
There are 15 versions of this chicken-or-beef broth-based soup at HON; nine of them are served with "rare steak," which can be paired with meatballs, brisket, tripe, or beef flank. Other variations have chicken, seafood, pork, or tofu with vegetables (and the option of a veggie broth). Most have rice noodles (the namesake pho, pronounced, "fuh"), but some have egg noodles. All are accompanied by a big plate of mung bean sprouts, sliced limes, stems of fresh Thai basil, and jalapenos, to be added according to the diner's taste. We took home a tofu/veggie pho (large: $6.25), which made a scrumptious lunch for both of us.
But our supper that evening started with the old standby of nime chow, the Cambodian name for goi cuón, the fresh spring rolls with shredded lettuce and mint, rice vermicelli, and in this case, shrimp, wrapped tight in rice paper and served with a peanut sauce (two for $3.50). We enjoyed HON's thicker peanut sauce, since it is often just rice vinegar with chopped peanuts.
Bill was drawn to the roasted quail ($3.95), perhaps remembering long-ago days when he bagged a few in California with his .22 (shudder). This time, the small bird had been basted with lemongrass, sesame seeds, and a five-spice mix, and he found the two halves quite satisfying.
We shared a soup quite different from pho, billed as HON's curry chicken soup ("regular": $5.95). This was a generous portion of a lemongrass-flavored potage, with plenty of chicken, carrots, onions, and potatoes. It was a bit fiery, a bit savory, and utterly addicting.
For entrées, Bill chose a bánh hói, a traditional steamed vermicelli patty, with a choice of toppings which you roll up yourself inside a piece of softened rice paper — similar to the Chinese moo shi, but a bit trickier. Bill chose the "house sampler," which was grilled pork, grilled shrimp on a sugar cane stick, and a tight fried egg roll ( $12.95). The shrimp and egg roll were tasty, but the pork pieces were fatty, so there was a lot of picking apart before Bill could enjoy it with the vermicelli, lettuce, and tomato.
I chose an item from the "chef specialties" that turned out to be quite a bit of work as well: the steamed flounder ($25.95 for the whole fish!). It was carefully poached before being served in a thinned soy sauce with tons of chopped ginger and slivered scallions — these bright tastes were a wonderful complement to the flounder. Getting the sweet flesh off the bones, however, was quite a challenge, and I'd make a different choice the next time.
HON's décor is modest, with two distinct dining rooms, one with six booths along the sides, and two round tables in the middle of the room. The faux brick on the walls gives it a much darker feel than the other room with its white walls and bright lights. The stark difference is most likely because Quyen Lee doubled the capacity of the restaurant during the first year of business.
The HON menu has many intriguing beverages, including fruit shakes in startling colors that were ordered by a table full of students, from a choice of strawberry, pineapple, coconut, avocado, jack fruit, durian, or mung bean flavors, blended with ice and sweetened condensed milk. I noticed two green, one orange, and one yellow shake. Which color would durian, that unusual-smelling melon, be?
During the month of February, HON was serving a free dessert with the purchase of a dinner, and it turned out to be warm sticky rice with sweetened condensed milk on top. Similar to rice pudding, it also seemed to contain mung beans and was quite delicious.
With a menu that stretches from pho to bubble tea, and with 20 chef specialties that utilize salmon, catfish, soft-shelled crab, scallops, shrimp, lobster and squid, HON offers many meals yet to be discovered. And more than 100 of them don't even include the signature noodles.

He may be one of New Zealand's best-known and honoured actors on stage and screen but Alan Perrott discovers George Henare is also one of the most modest.
It's Mercury Theatre Company's 1990 production of Hamlet and George Henare is dishing out some pain to his "son", fellow actor Simon Prast. It was the first time the two actors had met onstage and one that Prast will never forget.
"It was just thrilling," he says of Henare's performance. "The whole time, part of me was thinking 'you're so f****** good ...' It's this effortless beam that flows out of him."
Prast copped it again a few plays later. This time the actors were on opposite sides of the stage, awaiting their entrance. Henare was playing Friar Laurence in Romeo and Juliet and, with the play approaching its tragic end, everyone had their game faces on.
"Then I looked across and George had lifted his habit up and was waving it about," says Prast. "Luckily he was wearing some briefs underneath ...
"But that's George, it's his life force, the sparkle in his eye. For all that talent, and it's a world class talent, I've never detected a world class ambition. I think it's the work, the doing of it and the company he enjoys along the way. They are his rewards."
In a craft rampant with ego, emotion and self-promotion, this 66-year-old is as close as you get to being universally admired and loved. He seems to feature in everything except gossip and has even knocked back the offer of a knighthood. Even his dad gave up demanding he get a real job to celebrate his actor son.
Which may be why he remains as in-demand as ever: already this year he's appeared in four plays, a musical, and enjoyed mainstream attention for his role on Shortland Street. His dance card for next year is rapidly filling as well.
But for now, he's reading and re-reading the script to Death of a Salesman for an upcoming season at Auckland's Maidment Theatre. It might be the third time he's performed the play (the last time was six years ago and it won him New Zealand Actor of the Year), but each reading still brings tears to his eyes. By the time he's ready, he will know Willy Loman inside and out. Again.
We're lucky to have him really. Actually, that's not quite right. We have him because of the simple fact that while he could get work anywhere, he's happy here. Why look for new pastures when you get to become someone different every few weeks? He's lived in the same small Grey Lynn flat for the past 32 years and as long as he's working, all he needs is the occasional gin and tonic, people to study, and a constant flow of cryptic crosswords. You can sometimes spy him at a show, sitting in a dark corner with a 1000-yard stare as he ponders 6 across.
As a full-time performer of one kind or another since 1965 who's played hundreds of roles, read hundreds of scripts and seen hundreds of shows, it takes something very special to hold George Henare's attention.
To begin with he'd thought that very special thing was God.
As the third youngest of 10 children, he was often lost in the crowd. So the chance to swap life on their East Coast farm for boarding school promised liberation.
Once he got to Gisborne Boys' High, he set his sights on carrying the cross during church services. His enthusiasm earned him the job of head server. "And you've never seen a more pious-looking head server in your life," he says.
But his career prospects in that arena ended when he figured out that the attraction hadn't been due to any calling, it was the performance.
Henare had discovered the power of committing to a role even if, for now, he considered himself more as a middling singer - music was big in the Henare home - and found a new home in on a school production of Pirates of Penzance.
Unsure of what to do when he finished school he started teacher training, a course that also provided singing lessons and gave him the confidence to audition for various productions.
But his prospects seemed limited until after a particularly bad day of dealing with stroppy students, he turned up to an audition with a devil-may-care spirit and scored a spot in the chorus for Porgy and Bess.
This taste of the stage immediately relegated teaching to second place and Henare found himself involved with several companies, getting £18 a week and touring places such as Japan and the Soviet Union.
Which isn't to say he'd become worldly. Henare didn't even get drunk until he was 22, and even then wasn't too sure what he should drink. He turned up to a party with a bottle of port because that was what they imbibed at church. All was well until he got up, fell over and slept for a few hours.
He tried using cigarettes to boost his cool until one of his brothers saw him and laughed that he wasn't even inhaling it. So he gave up.
His switch to acting was pushed on him when his directors tired of their chorus member who couldn't help playing up to the audience. So, he was reasonably primed when in 1969 he got a single scene part in Awatea, his first drama, and met stage actor Russell Duncan.
"He turned me around, looked me in the face and asked me who my character was. What does he eat? What does he wear? Who are his friends? I'd never been made to think like that before - I'd been doing comedy - so that really piqued my interest. From then on I didn't want to be a singer, I was going to be an actor."
The clincher was in the faces of the audience. Words have power and he began to enjoy how they could be used to make people cry, laugh and gasp: "There are real messages in these plays, they have impact, and I think that was when the techniques started to come through."
One that has served him best is his entrance. He pauses, just long enough for the audience to see and "embrace" him. Only when he feels a connection will he set about his work.
For a while he used meditation to put himself in the correct mental state, now he opts for a personal philosophy based on mindfulness and being present in the moment.
But at the most basic level, acting just seemed more attractive to Henare. After a few years inside the buttoned-up opera scene, he admits that hanging out with all those jeans and leather jacketed boho actors appeared way more rock 'n' roll.
So, in 1971, the 25-year-old left Wellington to join the Mercury Theatre Company in Auckland, where among all the high-faluting Shakespeare and Chekhovs, his childhood experience as a two-legged sheepdog was put to good use in two seasons as Snoopy.
Henare was also getting into television, including the role of Hone Heke in the four-part series about Sir George Grey.
By 1983, and not yet 40, he was considered a veteran on the New Zealand stage. To mark his 100th Mercury role that year, someone totted up his stats and found he'd died 414 times, played six kings, worked under 15 different directors, and fallen asleep on stage once (while playing a bedbound paraplegic).
Two years later, The Young and the Restless soap star Jamie Lyn Bauer topped all that by breaking a bone in his hand during a fight.
The pair were starring in the confrontational play Extremities. Henare played a stalker who tries to rape Bauer's character, but she turns the tables to brutally beat, blind and scold her assailant before hiding him in the fireplace.
At one point she threw a kick when she should have punched and Henare - who was playing blind at the time - didn't see it coming.
"I do hope he's forgiven me," says Bauer from her Los Angeles home.
Extremities was only her second play and she ignored her doctor's advice (she had a case of glandular fever at the time) to fly out for the three-week stint.
"I had no idea what to expect, but it turned out to be one of the memorable things I've ever done. George, I knew he was quite famous there and some actors can be, well, obnoxious. But he had all the class of Vincent Price, a true gentleman. His presence is just profound, he can say so much with the tiniest of movements, and I can't remember if I told him or not, but he taught me so much and he was just fabulous to work with."
Getting an OBE (Ordinary Brown Entertainer, according to Henare) in 1987 certainly elevated his status - in his father's eyes anyway. Not that he ever told Henare directly, but his siblings reckoned it was all he could talk about for a while.
The 90s were a much bigger challenge. Short of work, Henare was forced to skip back and forth to the Gold Coast to work on shows like Lost World and Beastmaster.
"I remember hoping this stuff never got to New Zealand," says Henare. "Then my niece rang me up to say she'd seen one ... oh well. But I loved the fact I could work overseas and still live here. It meant I got to work with the Melbourne Theatre Company twice."
During one stint they asked for him to fill out a CV for a programme thinking he might have done 40 or so plays. They told him to stop when he reached 300 and then chopped it down to a few lines so he didn't outshine their lead, Warren "Alf Garnett" Mitchell.
Henare has lost count of how many plays, television shows and movies he's racked up in the past 47 years. He could go through the drawerload of reviews he's collected - only to see if the reviewer picked up on what he was trying for mind - but he's not one for retrospection.
Instead, he sees each new project as an opportunity for improvement. Woe betide anyone who says he's hit his peak - that's a place he says he won't reach until he's completed his study of the human condition.
"That's really why I love this job, I'm a great observer of people. I want to know why we react in certain ways, what it is in our backgrounds that makes us behave in other ways, why we leave and why we stay. It all goes into my work.
"I think my friends understand it, they're in the mix as well." At least one is being folded into Willy Loman.
Even family tragedies help inform Henare's darker roles. An audience recognises a fake instantly, he says, so the best way to present sorrow and grief is to have experienced it first hand.
Both his parents are now dead, his father in 1991 on the day Henare was supposed to be opening and starring in Amadeus, and on both occasions while he grieved, part of his brain recorded and analysed everything that happened around him. "These are moments when our reactions come from a deeper core. After all these years I'm now in a place where I don't care about how much of that stuff I reveal, even if most of it stays in the rehearsal room. In the end you just have to open yourself up and be real."
But there is one group he struggles to understand - the "look down generation", those who sit on the bus, walk around town, and eat with their eyes locked on to the screens of their iPhones or whatever. It just isn't real to him.
Henare doesn't even own a computer.
He doesn't drive either. It's not because he prefers the view from the passenger seat, he's been told more than once that the roads are safer without him.
In contrast, he's one of our safest pairs of hands on stage and adding his name to a bill gives a show instant credibility.
Take the Newmarket Theatre Company. They were the newest kids on the block and anxious to start with a bang, so signing the country's leading stage actor for their debut effort, Educating Rita, two months ago was a huge coup.
"It meant the show sold itself," says production manager Sharu Delilkan, "it's instantly taken seriously. And he's the consummate pro, he brings this incredible calmness, like he's got everything sorted from the moment he arrives."
Following his character from initial baby steps in the rehearsal room to opening night turned into Delilkan's own education. "To start with, it's like going through the motions, then when he finally gets on stage you see it in his eyes - 'watch out, you haven't seen this yet'. How he built that part through the show, it was just amazing to see, he never overplays anything or goes over the top, he just nails it. I watched it four times and every time it was 'wow'."
She was even more stunned when he gave her a thank you card.
"I was just gobsmacked, my mouth dropped open. Suddenly he went from being George back to George Henare again. I showed it to all my friends - don't tell anyone that."
As for how long he'll continue, Henare simply says as long as possible. "There are only so many cryptics you do."
Besides, says Prast, he still has plenty to offer. "Now I don't want to make him sound like St George, there is an earthiness to him, but when you see him give a performance and then the audience kind of just sits there, stunned, then they come to, before breaking out in applause ... That's greatness."
Death of a Salesman is at the Maidment Theatre, Auckland, from October 11-27.

DEVELOPER | CSDC Systems Inc.
CLIENT | Jefferson County, Colo.
COST | $356,000 in capital improvement funds
Serving customers who are spread across 774 square miles is challenging in the best of circumstances. Doing so after severe weather is even more daunting.
In the past two years, Jefferson County, Colo., has been hammered by hailstorms that caused millions of dollars in damages to homes. Permit applications for roof and siding repairs tripled. After a 2009 storm, residents requested 7,500 permits; a storm last year produced almost the same number of requests.
The county managed the spike in service requests without hiring additional employees because it had just implemented "eServices." The field-to-office communication system consists of a central server, laptop computers equipped with wireless aircards on an AT&T service plan, and a public portal — accessible via the county's Web site — serving as an additional interface for residents. The county's 20 building inspectors filed assessments and approved permits onsite, turning most requests around within 24 hours.
"The ability to access documents without having to drive back to the county seat in Golden was a critical factor in being able to respond quickly and efficiently to citizens following these two storms," says Ed Peck, project manager for the county's division of building safety.
In-the-field connectivity
Previously, inspectors used a desktop computer to print a paper inspection ticket and a map book before heading out into the field. They'd return to the office in the afternoon with their annotations and enter their notes into the system. The time-consuming paper-pushing limited the number of stops they could make in a day.
Now, inspectors use the laptops in the office with docking stations and in the car via floor-mounted stands. At the site, they use the unit to access work schedules, daily tasks, prioritized inspection lists, and GPS driving directions. Instead of taking calls from inspectors asking them to look up building permits, blueprints, and zoning variations, permit technicians at the office spend more time helping visitors at the service counter.
Inspectors can print documents or reports, take and upload photographs, and have citizens and builders provide digital signatures. They can also view a complete history of deficiencies for a specific record and look up violations by preloaded codes and bylaws, ensuring more standardized and accurate inspections.
In addition, citizens can submit service requests online. Once they do, the request is completely automated and transparent to county staff. Management spot-checks all transactions that have a fee attached. In the near future, the county plans to use digital documents that, when submitted, will trigger processes assigned to staff members.
Getting started
Jefferson County installed AMANDA Mobile as part of an upgrade to the AMANDA browser-based Business Performance Platform to improve citizen services and government transparency across the board. At least 10 of the county's government agencies — including the fire districts and health department — have used AMANDA for more than a decade; that track record helped county commissioners decide on the system.
While the building safety division was able to use its existing servers, the system required adding Net Motion's encrypted portal through the county firewall. Garmin USB GPS Drivers are also connected to the laptops.
As with any new system, training was required. Although project planners tried to keep most of the existing business rules, some processes inevitably changed to accommodate the system. Every user had at least eight hours of training, with some employees logging additional hours so they can work on system development and administration. The learning curve was the biggest challenge, according to Peck.
Peck says the initial data conversion was also a huge concern. Mapping data to a new system was a challenge for users as well as the county's information technology division. But, he says, "it all worked out and opened up great opportunities that weren't available in an antiquated system."

Mokeme's relatives mail him the specific ingredients he needs from Nigeria. As for how I would get them, he said, "The only way to get a good authentic yam is to go to Boston" — specifically, Tropical Foods Supermarket in Duxbury Square, Roxbury. Nigerian yams, unrelated to what we call yams in America, range in size from a ping-pong ball to a large sweet potato. They are not sweet. Oscar says yams are so important to Nigerian culture, people have yam banks like we have banks for money. I will also need to find at the market: crayfish powder, the seeds of the egusi melon, and palm oil, a red oil produced from the fruit of a type of palm tree.
Oscar peeled three pounds of yams with a knife and cooked large chunks covered in water in a deep pan. He added one diced yellow onion, tomato paste, rosemary, thyme, and a cup of crayfish powder. When the yams were soft but not falling apart, he opened up a can of corned beef and mixed that into the red broth. He couldn't find the right smoked fish here, but found that canned corned beef created the right texture. Once this was all hot, he called it "yam porridge." I'll admit the canned corned beef scared me. The crayfish powder, too. But yam porridge looked and actually tasted a lot like beef stew with potatoes, the crayfish powder adding a slight twist.
He used the egusi melon seeds, ground up, to thicken a different meat and seafood broth into a cottage cheese-like substance. To that he added chopped onions, chopped kale, and palm oil. He called this "egusi soup" and served it with his favorite kind of foufou, which looks like mashed potatoes but was made of brown rice flour cooked with water.
Oscar showed me some photos of his home in Nigeria. I was surprised. It looked like San Francisco with skyscrapers, cars, motorcycles, and highways. But it also is a place of culture rooted in more than 7500 years of history. He demonstrated one traditional healing practice (which he performs by appointment on Tuesdays and Thursdays) that he would use to cure a migraine. It involved him facing the sufferer, finding the source of the paine, and then channeling the migraine into an egg, which the sufferer and the healer held between them. Then the egg, containing the source of the ailment, would be discarded.
At the museum, I came face to face with stylized boobs, bellies, and phalluses, beaded wall hangings, ceremonial regalia, and statues. I found the exhibit shocking and exhilarating. I highly recommend asking Oscar to guide you through it. In addition to its regular exhibits, the museum is hosting a series of pop-up Haitian dinners (December 13 and 27, January 10 and 24, February 7 and 28, and March 7 and 28; $50) as part of its Haitian Voodoo exhibit. Lastly, drop by for drumming and music during January's First Friday Art Walk.

Revolutionary at its inception for defining and popularizing this specific genre of distributed application development, the PowerBuilder 12.5 development environment today combines functional maturity with aggressive modernizations that keep it a viable and compelling tool for tackling business applications.
Sybase PowerBuilder has remained throughout the years a bastion of application development productivity for a wide class of enterprise applications that combine database access with a highly productive graphical user interface (GUI).
The strategic direction taken by the PowerBuilder team has meant that the product can now be considered equally viable for evolving existing applications and for developing new ones.
In this white paper we discuss the progress of Sybase PowerBuilder and assess the overall strategic options facing many PowerBuilder customers with respect to the evolution of their PowerBuilder applications.
While the visibility of the PowerBuilder toolset is not where it used to be in the early 1990s, we find that the original value proposition of the product has endured and the strategic direction taken by Sybase to evolve the installed base is sound and well thought through.
The PowerBuilder road map enables PowerBuilder applications to be brought into alignment with the successful Microsoft .NET platform and the familiar Visual Studio IDE, including many third-party controls.


text: I was trying to figure out what the All-star game was doing in Vegas in the 1st place? Usually leagues use this venue to throw a bone at an established francise's city by having a current NBA team host it so they can cash in on the tourist dollars. Not this year. Two cities, Sacramento and Seattle, are potentially on the relocation cutting block if the respective cities do no caugh up 500mil for new stadiums. The taxpayers of Sac recently voted down a bill that would have increased their sales tax to pay for an arena. The Maloofs have also indicated that they would be willing to set up shop in Vegas if they had to. So could All-Star in Vegas be all about Stern trying to strong arm Sac into comming up with an extra 500mil or else? There is also the issue of legalized sports gambling in Vegas which the Casinos will not give up, no Problem - Stern is willing to compromise. Here is one of the articles. Both Las Vegas and the NBA understand something about greed - NBA - Yahoo! Sports

RE: Solomon Hardesty
Thank you so much for your reply. I've been looking through lots of documents. I always hate to throw to much information out but my family is in the process of publishing my great great grandfathers civil war journals. When you read about the "guys" day after day for years, it is hard not to be motivated not to find out more about them. Your thoughts about an Iowa company are good and I'll do some more research there. 7th Cav. Mo Company M was from Putnam County which borders Iowa so I thought maybe....
Are you related to Solomon Hardesty?

As the International Telecommunication Union's negotiations move closer, more worrying developments are coming to light. At Openmedia we recently posted about some of the main concerns raised by the secretive negotiations, which threaten to change the Internet as we know it. A recent report highlights concerns that the proposals are particularly harmful to the developing world because accessing Internet content will become more expensive. Some content providers might choose to simply stop servicing regions with customers that have limited buying power. It's the role users play in Internet governance, not governments and big telecom conglomerates, that should be expanded.

New OIT Web site
UTSA Info Tech launches redesigned Web site
By Carla Gomez
Graphics Designer, Office of Information Technology
(Sept. 6, 2008)--The UTSA Office of Information Technology (OIT) has launched a redesigned Web site that, according to UTSA students, faculty and staff members who participated in testing, offers easy-to-find information and the ability to virtually glide through the site.
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
"The new site will be a channel for us to provide additional information and services to our customers via the Web in an accessible and usable manner," said Carolyn Ellis, OIT assistant director of customer relations and communications.
The design process included planning, research and testing, which resulted in a site specifically driven by UTSA student, faculty and staff needs.
"We designed the site based on what made sense to our customers, plus it is 508-compliant," said Christopher Chipps, OIT webmaster.
In 1998, the U.S. Congress amended Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act to require federal agencies to make electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology, to make available new opportunities for people with disabilities and to encourage development of technologies to help achieve these goals.
The new OIT Web site is grouped under four headings: Services and Support, Security, Software and Hardware, and About OIT.
Frequently requested services also are accessible by selecting "Quick Links" at the top-right of any page within the site. The home page features a Spotlight section to inform users of new OIT initiatives. The Alerts section provides up-to-date information on scheduled maintenances, outages and security alerts.

Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Nov 1, 2012
End Date: Sep 17, 2015
The objective of this project is to identify and characterize new inbred lines displaying high and stable resistance to A. flavus and aflatoxin accumulation and to identify and validate new genes and gene-based markers linked to these traits. Germplasm and genes will be ready for use in practical breeding programs to develop resistant varieties for developing world farmers within three years. Inbred lines will be characterized for aflatoxin and A. flavus resistance in growing conditions typical of African and Latin American farmers. Specific and general combining ability will be tested, and information on performance of the lines in hybrid combinations in different environments will be made publically available to maize breeders and small seed companies. Genes for resistance will be identified via association analysis or QTL mapping, and all identified sequences will be run in an independent mapping (QTL or association) population for validation.
Considerable work has already been done in the mapping of aflatoxin and A. flavus resistance in maize, and five fully phenotyped and genotyped QTL mapping populations and two association mapping panels are currently available for this project. These resources will allow many gene sequences identified as associated with aflatoxin or A. flavus resistance in one panel to be validated in the other panel as well. Any candidate gene of large phenotypic effect identified via association mapping will be used to develop user-friendly SNP, SSR, or InDel markers from the sequence of the gene. These will allow for the mapping of these genes in any of the QTL mapping populations that segregate for these sequences. We hope that this will identify new QTLs, or allow the immediate fine mapping of previously identified QTLs, and will be further independent validation of the gene(s) as associated with fungus or toxin resistance. QTL mapping will also verify the utility of these markers, which should allow more rapid progress in the ultimate development of resistant hybrids and varieties. In the process of phenotyping the two association mapping panels (one at CHPRRU, one at CIMMYT), most known sources of resistance, and many new potential resistant lines, will be well characterized in a comprehensive manner. New inbred lines with high levels of stable resistance should be identified in the course of this work. These new resistant lines (the best 20 – 30 from each panel), will be field tested in various hybrid combinations and tested for enhanced resistance to aflatoxin accumulation in new hybrids. These hybrids can be used as cultivars for farmers in parts of the world where aflatoxin poisoning has been an ongoing and serious problem. In the first year, aflatoxin resistant inbred lines from CHPRRU will be test crossed onto CIMMYT elite breeding lines and seed will be increased of the inbred lines. The association mapping panel from CIMMYT will be phenotyped (for a second year, as it has been phenotyped in one year already). Association mapping will begin. In the second year, the test crosses made in year one will be phenotyped for yield and disease resistance under local growing conditions, and association mapping will continue, particularly to verify genes identified in the CHPRRU panel. In the third year, the testcrosses will be phentypted again.

There is a member here by the name of bac1023 that may be able to help. He is on Glocktalk and several forums, and I think he is on here as well.
Honestly, though - for that amount of $, I'd just get an Ed Brown. If you deal with George at Gunslingers, or some other mail order 1911 dealers that will actually sell to you for under MSRP, you can get a new Brown for $2k.

Watching the latest incarnation of Great Expectations, one can't help but think Helena Bonham Carter has spent her entire career auditioning for the role of Miss Havisham. The jilted, wilted bride whose bitterness she carries into her dotage is the very picture of the wild-eyed, wilder-haired Carter.
Mike Newell, who gave us one of the most sumptuous-looking Harry Potter pictures ( Goblet of Fire), conjures up a lush, period-perfect version of the oft-filmed Charles Dickens tale of a poor boy whose act of kindness as a child is repaid, with interest — and with a catch.
Newell and screenwriter David Nicholls move beyond the familiar "spoiler alert" beats of this over-familiar story — a more definitive BBC/PBS miniseries aired just two years ago — and aim for the periphery. We dwell on the dissipation of Pip, the lad plucked from his brother-in-law's blacksmith shop, told he has come into money and "great expectations" and that he will now be set up as a "young gentleman."
And by spending more time on Pip (Jeremy Irvine) carousing in the gentleman's club called the Finches, he seems less the victim and more a Dickensian cautionary lesson. As he lusts for the always-out-of-reach Estella (Holliday Grainger), the manipulations of Miss Havisham seem more like something he deserves. His supposed benefactor, a woman bent on making him fall for Estella and breaking Pip's heart when he can't have her, is teaching the lad to know his place, "expectations" or not.
That robs the tale of pathos, and the young would-be lovers aren't compelling enough to render their big moments poignant.
Ah, but that's what the rest of the cast is for. Newell cast the great Ralph Fiennes as Magwitch, the convict tiny Pip (Toby Irvine, Jeremy's younger brother) helps that fateful day on the moors. Fiennes is everything you want in a Magwitch – terrifying, mercurial, sentimental and loyal. His threats to the child have a chill that transcends the ages.
Robbie Coltrane makes a thoroughly corrupt Jaggers, the lawyer who feeds Pip his benefactor's money and merely tut-tuts at the way the boy goes through it. David Walliams tickles as the creepy family friend Mr. Pumblechook, who teaches us what the phrase "raised by hand" (slapped about) meant for a child of the day. Olly Alexander does a great turn as the not-all-young-gentlemen-are-rich-jerks confidante, Herbert Pocket. Jason Flemyng is splendid as one character to truly pluck at the heartstrings here, Pip's adoring blacksmith brother-in-law, Joe.
But the revelation is how sweet, bubbly Sally Hawkins of Happy-Go-Lucky and Blue Jasmine transforms herself into a shrieking harridan as Mrs. Joe, Pip's corporal punishment-loving sister.
Whatever chemistry the back-and-forth among the romantic leads lacks, this stellar supporting cast and the handsome production values that bring back 1830s and '40s England make up for it. So even though this isn't the greatest of Expectations — David Lean's 1946 black-and-white version will break your heart — it's still a pretty grand one.

A new documentary called The Harvey Girls: Opportunity Bound is coming to KCPT on Thanksgiving night. It's a mix of history, food, trains and sociology that director Katrina Parks has put together to celebrate the legacy of these women.
The Harvey Girls: Opportunity Bound explores how starting in the 1880s, over 100,000 brave young women, Harvey Girls as they were called, made an unusual decision to leave home and travel west to work as waitresses along the transcontinental railroad opening the doors of both the West and the workplace to women.
The film made its debut this summer at the National Archives in Kansas City, in conjunction with their exhibit on Fred Harvey, The Man, The Brand and the American West. Randy Mason spoke with Parks as well as one of those original Harvey Girls. Opportunity Bound will air on KCPT November 28 at 7pm. The National Archives Fred Harvey exhibit will be up through January 4.

I was curious about the book ... found a description here
The pattern takes 6, half yard cuts ... assuming that the kit makes the same size as the pattern book.
Although the cover of the book shows smaller corner pieces, so the quilts may not be the same size ... or the corners are just not shown on the book cover at full size.
Regardless, would be easy enough to expand the size by increasing those corners.
Easily do-able from most of our stashes (and many times over!!)
If you want to see what other patterns are in the book, look here!
And a few Googles later ......... the pattern ... FREE and direct from the designers!!
Oh Happy Days!!!!!!!!!

Hey gang,
I'm going to sew my own flight suit and flak vest. If it's not too much trouble I'd like to ask for a few measurements. Most of them are for the pockets.
Could someone please give me the rough dimensions for the shin tool, thigh and belt pockets? I also need to know the distance between the 4 stitch lines on the shorter sleeve of the flight suit. I'm 6'1", 190 Lbs if that makes a difference to the measurements.
I'm planed on using WOF's patterns but they look a bit on the small size when I mock them up. I figured if I get the rough measurement from someone (who already has a suit) I could scale them up a bit.
Could someone also please supply me with the distances between the stitch lines on the neck seal and the distances between the stitch lines on the vest sleeves?
Thanks for your help in advance.:cheers
One more thing... would anyone have a recipe for dying a ROTJ flight suit and vest?

Who is your favorite ladies skater from Canada this season ? and Why ?
For me this is Alexandra Najarro, I simply love her passion on the ice.
I find that she is a beautiful skater and I like the fact that she looks at the crowd during her performance. She captivated our attention in her program and I like that.
This season, her black swan program is awesome, She express the music very well. I wish that she keeps this program next season.

TORRINGTON >> It took overtime, but sports fans shutout from Fox Sports for two months due to Cablevision's contentious dispute with the Tribune Company are happy to have the games back on the air.
The blackout of Fox in 50,000 homes in Connecticut, mostly in Litchfield County, was lifted Friday after the two media giants came to an agreement, the details of which were not made public.
Fans of Fox shows and sporting events such as National Football League games, including those played by the reigning Super Bowl Champion New York Giants, and the ongoing World Series baseball games between the San Francisco Giants and Detroit Tigers were glad to see the teams back in action over the weekend.
"I'm excited, I get to watch the [New York football] Giants again," said Brian Keehan, 35, a carpenter from Torrington. "It was pretty upsetting before, waiting all week to watch the games and then not being able to watch them."
Tribune-owned Fox CT had been dark since Aug. 24, when the dispute between Cablevision and Tribune began over the costs of retransmission fees, or the right to rebroadcast telecasts offered by Tribune. Cablevision negotiators asked Tribune's representatives to lift the ban on Tuesday so viewers could watch the start of the World Series, but the two sides couldn't reach an agreement until Friday.
"It's about time. It took them long enough," said Torrington baseball fan Kyle Schrager, 26, who's pulling for San Francisco in the World Series. "I would've killed somebody if they didn't come up with a resolution" before the end of the World Series.
Still, Schrager added, "I'm really excited we got Fox back. We finally get to watch the rest of the World Series."
San Francisco held a three games to none advantage in the best-of-seven games series heading into Sunday night's game, which was aired on Fox.
Mark Leonard, 45, a landscaper from Torrington, said he really didn't care about not being able to watch sports, but he did miss other shows Fox broadcasts, such as "American Idol."
"Fox is one of my favorite channels," Leonard said while his housemates watched an NFL game between the Washington Redskins and Pittsburgh Steelers on Fox on Sunday afternoon. "They push things a little further than the other stations."
About 50,000 Cablevision subscribers in Litchfield County and Milford, Orange and Woodbridge had been missing out on Fox shows during the dispute, which drew the ire of Torrington Mayor Ryan Bingham and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Ct.), who describes himself as a "huge baseball fan."
About 27,000 homes in the Litchfield County towns of Cornwall, Goshen, Litchfield, Morris, Thomaston, Torrington, Warren and Watertown were left without the Fox shows and games.
One sports fan who didn't benefit from having Fox back on the air was Lenny Zelvis, 39, who had been threatening to move out of Torrington - and Cablevision coverage area - if the dispute wasn't settled.
Zelvis finally made good on his word on Friday, moving back to his hometown of Waterbury, about two hours before ban was lifted.

"Thank you for the beautiful print with such a fun list. We need to be reminded of all the fun activities there are to do in the summer! I would use this as a conversation starter with family and come up with a larger family summer bucket list."
"I can see many possibilities with these napkin rings. I can make them in many colors and make felt flowers or tissue paper flowers. This project will help me use up some of my felt, my embroidery floss, my tissue paper, my beads, etc. Can't wait to make some for 4th of July!"
"I like a craft that is easy and uses items we would normally throw away. I will try this and paint the stars with glow in the dark paint, and I will make another set and glitter them up. I will hang the sparkly ones in my kitchen window and put the glow ones in a corner as a mobile."
"I have a large blank wall in my living room that really needs some decor. I like how this allows for creativity, and you can play with the way it looks before you commit to one layout. I also like that you can use the tubes in the natural color. This art will look lovely on my green wall!"
"That looks like fun to make. They would make really cute favors for a "tea party" for young girls. I always think Christmas, though, so I would make a few in Christmas colors and hang on the tree, with those tiny peppermint canes and whatever other small candies I could find. This goes on my list!"

Reviews of this property
We love the house and Dan! It is a big house, enough space for 4 people. You have to walk only 5 minutes to the metro and the Carrefour en bakery are nearby. It is a quiet house. We didn't use the kitchen a lot. We went all day to Paris and had our diners in the city.
We felt really connected with Dan. It's is wonderful that she "shares" her house with the guests. Dan created this house with a great atmosphere and style!
We highly recommend this very beautiful house.
Thanks Dan! We hope to see you again :-)
Peter, Marjan, Bas and Dirk
Dan Thanh was a wonderful hostess! The house is fully in the images shown, and there was nothing missing. The connection with the subway running into the center and without stress is well within walking distance. Shopping Center next door has everything you need. We felt very comfortable and would definitely come back to Dan Thanh and can recommend the house and the hostess to 100%.
Dan Thanh war eine wunderbare Gastgeberin! Das Haus entspricht absolut den gezeigten Bildern und es hat an nichts gefehlt. Auch die Verbindung mit der U Bahn ins Zentrum läuft stressfrei und ist gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Shoppingcenter nebenan hat alles was man braucht. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen gerne wieder zu Dan Thanh und können das Haus und die Gastgeberin zu 100% empfehlen.
I stayed with my family (husband and two childreen 8 and 13) for 5 day in this house. We loved it! Miss Dan Than is very polite and helpful. She gave us many good tips and can help you handling erverything in the house and in Paris.The house was very clean and you will love the comfortably sofa. Besides there are two of them, so the childreen had their own area to play in the background of the living room. The TV and mediasound was great, we even had all station of german tv and also a blue-ray player was there. If you are used to handle those things it was easy. The equipment of the kitchen had all you need and more: a gas cooker, an electric furnace, a micro wave, a dishwasher and what our kids loved most was a fridge with ice-cube dispenser. ;) There are two modern toilets and two nice rainshowers and Miss Dan Thanh offered us as many towels as we need. You can even use her hair drier. A perfect service! The beds are good but you have to try wich is perfect for you. The single beds are a little bit harder (i prefered it because of my back trouble), the brider bed is softer.
If you go out on the terasse in the garden you can enjoy a quiet atmosphere only interrupted by the singing of the birds. Its perfect illuminated. We need 5 minutes to go to the next metro station, and around 30 minutes to get in the middle of Paris with it. It was easy to handle the metro and relaxing. Don't use your car, we tried it once, but the traffic in Paris is horrible, you risk damaging your car.Round the corner is a police station and a big supermarket (Carrefour).
We parked our car in front of the house under the big light of a street lamp and nothing happened to our car. (a new chrysler grand voyager). Of course the surrounding is not the best of Paris but the house is worth it and the people we met were friendly. The government of Paris just starts to modernise this area so its more than acceptable. If we will come back we surely will stay in this house.Many thanks to Dan Thanh!!!

A lovely place to stay, Dan Thanh is a great host, and her description of her house is perfectly accuate. We will definitely stay again if we are coming through Paris.
This was a great city break. Very nice and friendly landlady! The house was clean and the images 1:1 corresponded to reality. Allabentliches Highliht, the beautiful fireplace, which we were allowed einfeuern (with plenty of wood). Located in a quiet area house is terminus Villejuif Louis Aragon and walk about 7 minutes. Nearby there is a supermarket, bakery. (With crisp, fresh baguettes) and a good Chinese restaurant with a rich buffet If you had the lively Paris daytime seen enough, it was for us as a family with kids a treat to return to this wonderful and green oasis in the evening. Thank you so much love Dan!
Dies war ein super Städtetrip. Sehr nette und freundliche Vermieterin!
Das Haus war sauber und die Bilder entsprachen 1:1 der Realität. Allabentliches Highliht; das schöne Cheminée, welches wir (mit genügend Holz) einfeuern durften. Das in ruhiger Umgebung gelegene Haus befindet sich Endstation Villejuif Louis Aragon und zu Fuss noch ca. 7 Minuten. In der Nähe gibt es einen Supermarkt, Bäckerei (mit knusprigen, frischen Baguettes) sowie ein gutes chinesisches Restaurant mit reichhaltigem Buffet.
Wenn man vom lebendigen Paris tagsüber genug gesehen hatte, war es für uns als Familie mit Kindern eine Wohltat, in diese wunderbare und grüne Oase abends zurückzukehren.
Vielen herzlichen Dank liebe Dan!!!
We spent very pleasant days in Paris, partly because we are in Dan's house very comfortable. The house is ideal for a family of four. It is located in a very quiet residential street. For recreation, also contributed the evening fire! Dan is very accessible for inquiries and worked to our wellbeing.
Wir verbrachten äußerst angenehme Tage in Paris u.a. weil wir uns in Dans Haus sehr wohl fühlten. Das Haus ist für eine vierköpfige Familie ideal. Es liegt sehr ruhig in einer Wohnstraße. Zur Erholung trug auch das abendliche Kaminfeuer bei!
Dan ist sehr gut für Nachfragen erreichbar und bemühte sich um unser Wohlbefinden.
A very nice house, really. Exactly like the pictures. Big and very clean. good kitchen. Nice and big garden with big barbecue and a good working fireplace in the home. Landlady staying opposite of the house and always available in case of problems. Really a nice surprise and I can recommend it to all. Metro and big supermarket nearby at walking distance. Open till 10. Also a nightshop. We have no regrets at all on the contrary.
