Reviews of this property
This is a great place to stay, a perfect location. Lots of nice and famous places can be reached easily by walking. We were supported by Theresa and Bjarne with hints that helped us a lot. After spending a long exhaustive sightseeing day in this amazing city, coming back here to Theresa and Bjarne felt like coming home. Thanks!
Bjarne and Teresa are very nice, friendly and kind host.
The first day Bjarne showed us around and explain about the area, transport and also good restaurants!
They are very kind and helpful, we had a great holiday in Barcellona.
The flat is close to Port Olympic, very close to the beach and well connected to the city center with metro and buses.
Thank you very much for the good time there!
We ( couple, 27 & 29) spent wonderful holidays at Teresa and Bjarne's place. Unfortunately we didn't get to know our hosts, because they were on holidays too. So they offered us to stay alone in their appartement, which was very generous. The situation of the flat is just perfect. Just across the street you can find the beach "Vila Olimpica Playa", a casino, clubs, bars and a lot of restaurants. The subway is just 5 minutes away from the appartement, a big supermarket in a little shopping mall is almost next to the exit. You have everything you need in the accomodation: Towels, hair dryer, shampoo,.. in your own bathroom, air condition and television in your room, fully equipped kitchen were you can prepare your own meal,...Besides it is very calm at night, because the flat is in an inner yard. We felt really comfortable and would definetely book this place again!
Perfect location for every need (close to metro, beach, interesting places to visit , restaurants and discotheques).
Our host Teresa was very kind and let us feel at home: we could have breakfast in the kitchen and use a part of the fridge.
The badroom and badroom were clean and had any comfort.
Very nice hosts. Available for useful tips and very flexible. Clean bedroom and bathroom. Good location in a quiet neighborhood.
This is a perfect place to arrange your Barcelona trip.
Bjarne and Teresa are great hosts, very friendly, hospitable und helpful.
The flat is great located in the olympic village, just a few minutes walk from the beach. It is also no problem to walk to the city centre (about 15-20minutes). A busstation is directly infront of the building and will also bring you to the city.
The room is adequate and the bathroom very comfortable.
Organsisation of arrival und departure are very flexible and good to discuss with host.
We recommend the room as well as the hosts- you don't need a tourist guide, just ask Bjarne and Teresa :)
Theresa and Bjarne are kind and special people. We felt at home. Good room and excellent location in Barcellona, near the sea and near the center. We had a wonderful holiday. Thank you Theresa and Bjarne.
Great location near the beach and a lot of restaurants. Metro (L4) is a 5-minute-walk away. Teresa and Bjarne are a very interesting and nice couple. We spent two evenings together. They helped us whenever we had any questions.
Thank you!

New York, NY US
Fillmore East
includes: Train Kept a Rollin', I Can't Quit You Baby, Dazed and Confused, White Summer / Black Mountainside, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, You Shook Me, How Many More Times, Communication Breakdown.
Two Shows: 8pm & 11:30pm
Review: Led Zeppelin Makes Triumphant Return
Led Zeppelin once again shook the foundation of the Fillmore East when they made their appearance a few weeks ago. Their explosive performance was reminiscent of their Fillmore debut in January with the exception that they are now recognized as the best blues oriented group around. And that's some accomplishment considering the fiercely competitive group scene today! Even before they approached the stage , the audience stood and widely applauded. The mounting tenseness was an indication that this was going to be one of those "exceptionally stimulating performances".
Then they took the stage amid a thundering ovation and broke into their soaring rendition of "Train Kept a Rollin'". Led Zeppelin has succeeded in fusing musicianship and showmanship to produce one of the most exciting stage performances ever! Page and Plant almost immediately began to get into each other's phrases and kept together throughout the entire set. It's almost impossible to describe in the exact words, but anyone who has seen one of their concerts knows what I'm talking about!
They continued with an electrifying version of "I Can't Quit You Baby", a slow blues tempo. "Dazed and Confused" with Page's guitar and Plant's vocals answering and mimicking each other in perfect time really gets things going. Page went into a fantastic solo using his violin bow.
Along with Plant's fiery vocal and suggestive movements, this number can certainly be considered one of the high points of their act.
Plant announced Jimmy's solo "Black Summer", combining two songs he composed, "White Summer" and "Black Mountainside" from their LP. This number holds the audience spellbound as Page switched to acoustic guitar style to play soft, melodic passages. It received a standing ovation. Page has been described as being "The most progressive guitarist on the scene today with a very versatile and inventive style.
They continued with Babe I'm Gonna Leave You and You Shook Me with some of the best instrumental work and vocals I've ever heard.
How Many More Times brought the roof down. Plant's performance was extraordinary, along with Page's guitar, it sounded as if it were one. The applause was deafening as they left the stage and though they were on stage nearly two hours, they were called back to do an encore. Of course, it was a dynamic version of Communication Breakdown.
The following evening (May 31), I went to the second performance again and had a few words with them before the show. They are in England now working on their new LP to be released shortly and they will do several appearances including the Royal Albert Hall.
Their performance was to say the least just as spectacular as the night before. John Bonham did a fantastic drum solo. He is really something else to watch perform. During How Many More Times they broke into some early rock numbers, Roll Over Beethoven, and Move On Down The Line by the fabulous Jerry Lee Lewis. They received a tremendous ovation as usual and left the Fillmore audience paralyzed. (Denise Kelly – World Countdown, June 1969)

No way in hell would Coughlin pull the BS that Shanahan pulled yesterday.
I used to have alot of respect for Shanahan, but this is a damaging story.The Washington Redskins' treatment of franchise quarterback Robert Griffin III will be the subject of debate for the offseason and likely for the rest of his career — especially if the heralded rookie suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament Sunday; he was already playing hobbled because of a sprained knee.
Griffin was knocked out of a 24-14 wild-card loss to the Seattle Seahawks one day after James Andrews, a team orthopedist, told USA TODAY Sports he was "scared to death" over Griffin playing with an injured knee and a brace.
And Sunday, for the second time, Andrews insisted he never cleared Griffin to return to a game in which Griffin initially injured his knee, even though coach Mike Shanahan again tried to lay the responsibility on him.....

Marina Erakovic is set to become the first US$1 million tennis player from New Zealand since Brett Steven in the mid-1990s.
Erakovic has banked US$989,318 ($1.2 million) since turning professional in 2006 and could pass the US$1 million mark at her home tournament, the ASB Classic, starting on New Year's Eve.
It would require a decent run in the singles - the winner collects US$40,000 and a beaten semifinalist about US$11,000 - but she will have two bites at it considering she will team up with Briton Heather Watson in the doubles (the winning combination receive US$11,750). The pair have played two WTA tournaments together and won both.
Passing the mark doesn't mean Erakovic is rolling in cash. Tennis is an expensive business and it's estimated it costs about $200,000 to play on the tour each year once travel expenses and a coach are factored in.
"I wish I had $1 million," Erakovic laughed. "I'm not a money-orientated person but it's definitely an achievement.
"If I keep going and working hard, hopefully I can have a nice little retirement bundle.
"The $1 million mark, it's great, but I definitely don't have enough now to settle down. I have enough to cover my expenses next year and a little bit on the side to live off for a year or two if I wanted to. We are not talking about big money here."
Erakovic has had a good year, jumping to a career-high ranking of 39 in May, playing in her second WTA final, winning two WTA doubles events and banking US$315,228 in prize money.
But it was also littered with disappointments. She was hampered by a handful of niggly injuries, continued to struggle at Grand Slam events - she has not gone past the second round since 2008 - and was bundled out of the Olympics in the first round after an embarrassing 6-2, 6-1 defeat to Aleksandra Wozniak.
It's why she looks back on the year with mixed emotions.
"People tell me what a great year I had," she said. "I go, 'Really? It was all right'. I felt as though it didn't run as smoothly as I wanted. I had a few hiccups, a few injuries here and there.
"But if that still gets me into the Grand Slams and I can improve, then I can do a lot better."
Her ranking remained steady, settling in at 67 after starting the year at 61.
It means she gains direct entry to the ASB Classic for the second time rather than relying on a wildcard and she has the potential to go deep into the tournament.
The field is headed by world No4 Agnieszka Radwanska and features six players inside the world's top 30, including Julia Goerges (No18), Yanina Wickmayer (23) and defending champion Zheng Jie (26).
The return of Zheng is significant. There were fears the ASB Classic would suffer from the emergence of the US$500,000 Shenzhen tournament in China in the same week as Auckland along with the US$1 million event in Brisbane.
But the cutoff for direct entries is 78 - this year it was 71 - putting the quality of the field second internationally for tournaments at the US$235,000 level.
There are three former world No2s (Radwanska, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Vera Zvonareva), a two-time Grand Slam winner (Kuznetsova) and two former ASB Classic champions (Wickmayer and Zheng).

Discussion in 'Chevy Truck Accessories' started by gregory1234, Oct 22, 2012.
Im looking for new things to do to my truck.
A Price range will help. You looking for looks or engine?
are you leveled or lifted?
Im looking for mostly looks, but slight less than 300 dollar engine improvements.
Looks; I would start with Window vents, Level the truck (it don't look like it in this pic- I could be wrong), chrome handles, chrome gill insert, chrome tow hooks, chrome bow tie.
I'm not a chrome guy but think it will look good with that silver.
Engine; cold air intake or/and programmer
Take a look at some different truck pictures here. It will help you with ideas.
Definitely change the bowtie by going billet, chrome, or painted/powder-coated. That's a quick and easy mod and it can cost as much or as little as you want it to.
I don't know that I'd go chrome with silver; they have a way of blending in bright light. If you're not a chrome guy then all the things Curky siad to chrome -- consider black.
De-molding it will also improve its looks a lot.
Probably the biggest change you could do to your truck since it's Silver would be to two tone it, say something down low on the rockers or on the top half.
I've been thinking about something like this for my truck for a few months I just havent decided on a color scheme or design yet.
Chrome does blend into the silver almost to well, I had chrome door handles and took them off because of this issue.
The chrome billet grill isnt to bad but I painted my bow tie logo's a stailess steel color which is a little darker than silver and I left the black trim around the outside.
Another trick to change up your truck is to paint the inside of your wheels, a satin black or maybe charcoal, those colors stand out but are subtle.
Also, please don't post basically the same thread in multiple sub-forums.
General advice though, don't ask other people what to do to your truck. Look at other trucks you like the looks of for ideas, and if you find some mod you do want to do, ask how to do it, if you don't know how, or it's not obvious. If you ask other people what you should do to your truck though, they're mostly just going to tell you what they would do to their own trucks, and it may or may not be what you want to do to yours.
Whatever you do, please stay away from the ugly stick-on fake hood scoops, fender vents, and other junk like that. It's tacky.
This times two. It's your truck, so make it YOUR truck.
This times four ... except that you might like tacky and its your truck so make it YOUR tacky truck if tacky is your thing.
Separate names with a comma.

Amazingly fast results !
Reviewer3045797发表于 12月 20, 2011 | 已验证购买
Read other reviews saying this was GREAT stuff for Heart Failure. Well, I have been taking regular L-Carnitine for ages, but figured it was worth a shot. OMG what a difference ! I felt miraculously better in just 3 days ! And the increase in energy is astounding too ! I will NEVER be without this product again. My sisters are now taking it too, and one of them who is 12 years OLDER than me had the same results ! (Haven't heard from the other one yet.)
Remarkable stuff
Reviewer2432709发表于 12月 12, 2009 | 已验证购买
If you can afford it, try dosing this at 4.5 grams per day or 6 caps. Yes, it's expensive, but at that level you've reached the full benefits....which are... great energy, super anti-stress, and recovery from past fatigue and stress. Try it 5 days per week to keep it more affordable rather then daily underdose.

Got this for my mother who has been diagnosed with advanced atherosclerosis. She also had low energy and poor balance due to strokes. After 2 weeks of 1000mg/day, she has noticed improved energy and motivation. She goes back for some scans soon. We'll see what they show.
Almost worth the money

That entire game all Matt Millen was talking about was the time he had.. Seriously, U and I could of picked apart No Illiniois last night.. I'm only half kidding..
That entire game all Matt Millen was talking about was the time he had.. Seriously, U and I could of picked apart No Illiniois last night.. I'm only half kidding..
Furthermore, he has a very very bad habbit of getting overexcited and overthrowing wrs...by a lot. Despite have a nice arm he throws a very poor deep ball. He does not put enough air under it when he should and he put airs under it when he should zip it. His footwork is a mess, often throwing flat footed and other times taking way too big of a throw step which leads to the overthrows. He can run well but is a fumble machine when he does and also takes too many hits that will end up as injuries in the NFL.
Lastly, his end of game management has been horribadorific throughout his career. He has almost no sense of the game clock when he should.
I seriously could go on.
There are a lot of young talented guys on FSU's offense but I do not much care for anyone coming out this year except Lonnie Pryor and Chris Thompson will be a good late selection too. Evewything else to like about FSU is on defense, there are a bunch of NFL talent guys there.
Ogletree was one of the only good players on GA's defense yesterday.. Yet again leading the team in tackles, made plays behind the line, getting a sack, and also preserving the game with a big FF, and the recovery.. He missd 4games, and still had 11.5 TFL, and 3sacks to go with a team 112or so tackles, despite missing 4games.. This guys gonna be able to be moved all over the field on defense depending on down and distance and is a game changer.. A guranteed first rd pick, as i've said for wk's now.. I'd love to have em.. I think Bears snag em if he makes it past us, as Urlachers replacment..
I think the difference is Manziel had his signature game not just vs 1 of many good opponents but the very best opponent he faced all year. Many believe that Bama team is 1 of the greats of all time and Manziel beat em up. Yes he had help but that game was his highlight reel for the season.
Then on the other hand Lynch really only faced 1 good defense all year and he got smoked. He is a fun player to watch, but I think FSU has faced much better QBs this year. Lynch did not keep NIU in the game, his coaching staff did.
To be quite frank i was more impressed by NIU's defense and a couple of the decent players they had on that side of the ball much moreso than Lynch, who was exposed as a Rb in Qbs clothing.
THe reason northern illinois didn't do anything offensivley, is because there offense is Jordan Lynch, and if he dosen't have crazy games, they aren't that good.. Regardless of level of competiton, no one has done what hes done this yr, facing the exact same level of competiton..
Manziel was awesome, theres no doubt, but u certainly gotta take in to account hes got 2 TOP TEN OT"s, and future NFL rb's, and 2Future NFL WR's, and a insane defense loaded with prospects.. Put JOhnny Manziel on No Illinios, and i believe Florida St wins still..
But Jordan Lynch certainlhy didn't play well. Also, i was probably wrong about Lynch for Heisman, but i was just trying to point out all the facts, instead of just clear as day i was wrong...

News Report: 50,000 See Led Zeppelin in Bay City
The British rock group Led Zeppelin drew 50,000 rock fans who paid $320,000 at Kezar Stadium last weekend. Although the 2 ½ hour show Saturday was 6,000 short of capacity, listeners blanketed the football field and stands. Hundreds of others heard the music for free from rooftops in the surrounding neighborhood.
A month ago, Led Zeppelin grossed $309,000 to shatter the Beatles' mark in 1965. Organizers said the group netted better than $1,000 per minute during the show here. It was the second large rock concert in a week at Kezar. The only casualties reported were some bad drug trips, a broken leg and a security guard accidentally wounded with his own revolver.
More than 250 cars were towed away from illegal parking areas around the stadium, police reported.

Maori TV has lost its biggest on-air star, promoting Native Affairs host Julian Wilcox to executive row as general manager of news and current affairs.
The change comes after Te Anga Nathan resigned to "pursue opportunities elsewhere".
Wilcox has been acting as General Manager News and Current Affairs since November 2012. Many have expected his move since then.
Maori TV said yesterday it was looking at who would take over as presenter for the critically acclaimed current affairs show.
In an interview in the Herald on October 27 last year Wilcox acknowledged he was seen as a star on the station.
"People have called me that but I don't agree," he said.
"If you allow yourself to take on that sort of persona you get pulled back to earth pretty quickly around here" he told the Herald.
"I'm of the view you can sometimes be too long on camera."
Nathan leaves Maori TV with a Master of Business Administration, which he attained while in the news post.
As well as assisting Wilcox as he settles into his new role over the next five months, Nathan will fill a short-term General Manager Strategy role "overseeing and implementing critical new initiatives."
This will include projects such as the introduction of video journalism and improving the sharing of content between Maori Television and other indigenous broadcasters, Maori TV said in a statement.
Meanwhile, at TVNZ Paora Maxwell resigned today as the General Manager of Maori and Pacific Programming, a role he'd held since 2008.
He finishes on February 22.

Extended Warranties
The extended service plan covers:
Any problem that is a result of product failure due to normal usage. As a holder of an extended service plan, all parts and labor will be paid for to keep your appliance in good operating condition throughout the length of the contract.
- 100% parts and labor
- Replaces product if irreparable
- No deductible or maximum
- 24/7/365 service with multi-lingual support and assistance for the hearing impared
- No limit to the number of repairs
- Mirrors manufacturer's warranty for on-site vs. carry in service area
The extended service plan does NOT cover:
Your extended service plan does not cover any damage in the following situations:
- Damage to a non-operating part
- Damage to any part that is designed to be replaced periodically throughout the life cycle of the appliance
- Damage resulting from fire, flooding, sand, lightning, etc.
- Damage resulting from improper maintenance or lack of compliance with manufacturer-suggested maintenance.
Exercise the service plan as often as needed
There is no limit to the number of repairs that can be performed on the covered appliance. The limit of liability is set at the actual cash value of the appliance in working condition at the time of the claim. This holds true for each claim separately. Your service plan becomes effective as of the date of purchase. The first year of coverage is covered by the original manufacturer's warranty in most cases (the few exceptions are for products with a 90 day labor warranty from the manufacturer). After that the extended service plan kicks in an additional 1, 2, or 4 years of coverage on top of the original 1 year manufacturer's warranty.
Do I have to purchase the plan now?
No, you can purchase an extended service plan at any time up until 90 days before the labor portion of the original manufacturer's warranty expires. Most of the products on our site carry a manufacturer warranty with full labor coverage for one year.
What do I do when my product needs service?
That´s the easy part. One call to the toll-free service number and your service problem is solved. In most cases, we can arrange service right in your local area. Call the toll-free service number at 1-877-607-2517 for immediate assistance.
Is the extended service plan renewable or transferable?
Of course! Prior to the expiration of each annual agreement you'll have the opportunity to keep your product protection in full force. It stands to reason the longer you continue to own the product, the more valuable the security of your extended service plan becomes. Also, there is no charge to transfer the protection to a new owner in case you should sell the covered product. These service protection plans add to the resale value of the covered product.
If I move, is my service plan still effective?
With over 12,000 authorized service centers in the United States alone, as long as your product is covered, you´ll be totally protected from costly repair bills almost anywhere you may go. Plus, your extended warranty offers worldwide service - a benefit not covered by many manufacturers' warranties.
Is this service plan insured?
Absolutely! Every agreement is fully insured by one of the nation's leading underwriters. No matter what happens, you and your product are completely covered.

The pantheon of Where Are They Nows is populated with fallen and faded demigods, yes, but could've-beens, almost-weres, and also-rans crowd the wings. Here the sweet smell of success mingles with the petulant waft of successes unrealized, and fates of all kinds receive the same contemplative inquiry: "What the hell have they been up to?"
Each year, a few of these mislaid bands are returned to us, like alien abductees back from some parallel life, and the stories behind their absence often have as much plot as an Ozu film: got married, made babies, found the time to finish Infinite Jest. Such is the case with Superdrag, one of many so-called "alt-rock" bands from the mid '90s, who after a brush with fame and a decade-long run went on hiatus in 2003. The Knoxville band's original line-up reunited in 2007 to tour, and they've just released Industry Giants (Superdrag Sound Laboratories), their first studio album together since 1998. "The recovery time was pretty much nil," singer/guitarist/songwriter John Davis says via e-mail when describing the reunion. "The first time we jammed, it was happening."
Superdrag hit the ground running with their 1996 Elektra debut, Regretfully Yours, a blast of hooky fuzzpop that played like Hüsker Dü learning A Hard Day's Night. It yielded the hit "Sucked Out," a spiky pop tune with a larynx-shredding tantrum for a refrain. Their next album, Head Trip in Every Key (1998), was a classic example of a band discovering their inner studio geek. Full of new textures and ambitious instrumentation, it transcended the homogenized sound of '90s-era modern rock. Elektra thought otherwise, and Superdrag became another redundancy in a quick-to-sign, quick-to-drop industry. Bassist Tom Pappas and guitarist Brandon Fisher quit soon after, leaving Davis and drummer Don Coffey Jr. to carry on for two more records.
The break-up was precipitated by Davis's spiritual awakening, which lifted him out of a hard-drinking lifestyle. He has since released two solo albums that reflect in part his new-found faith. "I had to be willing to lay down my life, which was rock and roll, if I wanted to gain it. When Jesus called the fishermen to follow him, they walked away from their boats, their nets, their life's work, and followed him, little caring about what their old identities were wrapped up in. There's a lesson to be learned from that."
Industry Giants continues with themes of rebirth and redemption, as "I Only Want a Place I Can Stay" and "Filthy & Afraid" document the transition from one life to another. Even the band's recording process underwent a transformation. "For one thing, drugs and alcohol were not a factor in the studio," Davis points out. "Plus, out of necessity, we had to make the album in four short, strategic blasts. If sitting in the studio for three months making Head Trip was a siege, then this was guerrilla warfare. We didn't have much time for nostalgia."

There's no point beating about the bush, if you don't mind your phones being big, the HTC Desire HD is the best smartphone on the market right now. A good screen, great design, and bucket loads of features combine to make this the best overall phone we've seen.
All this and we've apparently been given a version of the phone that doesn't have the final firmware. Quite what is missing, we're not sure but we found nothing that would concern us.
Ironically, what immediately strikes us about the Desire HD is not a positive thing but rather how big and heavy it is. Measuring 123 x 68 x 11.8 mm it's 8mm wider, 10mm taller, and a couple of millimetres thicker than that favourite yard stick, the iPhone 4. It's also 27g heavier at a total of 164g. As such it really does feel bulky and to our minds pushes the limits of what we'd consider comfortable and practical, and we'd have preferred to see the same overall package squeezed into a device with a 3.7in screen like the original Desire.
What that size does get you, though, is an enormous 4.3in screen that has many potential benefits such as being easier to read and nicer to view video and photos on. However, we feel it's still somewhat small to happily watch a whole movie on, as you would on a laptop, and you'd have to have pretty poor eyesight to find it significantly easier than a 3.7in display. As such we feel the extra size is of little to no benefit, especially as the 800 x 480 resolution is no higher than rival devices with much smaller screens. Moreover, it's simply impossible to reach the whole display when using the phone one-handed without shifting your grip, which can be a bit awkward.
Display quality is also not quite as good as we might hope. It uses an LCD rather than OLED panel so isn't as bright or vibrant but we actually don't mind this as LCD screens are sharper – comparing this phone to the Samsung Galaxy S really confirmed our issues with that phones display looking rather grainy.
However, what we would've liked to see is the same quality LCD panel as used on the iPhone 4. By using IPS technology rather than TN, that display has better viewing angles, greater contrast and better colour reproduction. We really are nitpicking here and it wouldn't put us off buying one but it's worth noting that perfection this phone certainly isn't.

We drove the beautiful beaches of Malibu then stopped for freshly caught lobster for lunch on the pier at Santa Barbara, delicious!
The pier is called Stearns Wharf and is the oldest continuously operating wooden pier, built in 1872. A claim to fame for this pier is that it was, at one time, co-owned by Jimmy Cagney.
I would like to say that we then went on to visit the Santa Barbara mission, but on the way we got distracted by a Macy's store and never quite made it there, oh well, never mind
Further up the road we stopped at the cute 1950s style Pismo Beach, which is home to another lovely wooden pier. This one was not commercial, and seems only to be used by locals to wander down and cast a line from, which is quite lovely to see.
Pismo Beach also attracts quite a few surfers, but in the time we were there there was hardly a wave in sight, it's really very flat. In fact the waves have been quite flat on all the beaches we've seen so far, which was very surprising. I don't know if it's always like that or we just saw it on a low day, but as the surfers kept arriving I've got to guess it's always that way, hardly worth putting the wetsuit on!
A bit tired from the day, and mum still a bit jetlagged, we opted for a pizza delivery for dinner. I tried to inform mum that large here is not like large at home and that a medium would be sufficient, but she wanted a large so that's what we got. You should have seen her face when the gigantic pizza arrived. She's going to be eating it for day's :)

Trial set for owner of destroyed Columbia strip mall
COLUMBIA, Mo. - A trial date has been set for the property owner involved in a massive April 1, 2012, fire on Business Loop 70.
The owner of the strip mall, 106 Business Loop 70 West LLC, is charged with seven counts of "miscellaneous property violations."
Stephen Richey, a prosecutor for the City of Columbia, said a jury trial has been scheduled for Nov. 27.
The charges were filed after the city issued several notices to the owner, ordering the demolition of the destroyed building. The city said the property owners delayed cleanup at the site.
The early morning fire caused more than $6 million in damage and lost inventory at numerous stores, including O'Reilly Auto Parts, Hong Kong restaurant, Dollar General and a barber shop.

With more than six active wildfires in the state of Colorado, CU-Boulder would like to share these health, safety and campus policy reminders.
Wildfire smoke
Smoke from multiple fires is affecting many communities in our area. Exercise appropriate caution to preserve your health if you live or work in an area with high levels of particulates in the air.
Wildfire smoke contains pollutants that can be harmful to health. Particles from smoke tend to be very small and can be inhaled into the deepest recesses of the lungs. Even in healthy people, this can cause pulmonary inflammation and temporary reductions in lung function. Particulate matter can also affect the body's immune system.
In general, if you can see or smell smoke, Colorado Department of Health officials recommend you avoid outdoor physical activities. If visibility is decreased to less than five miles, smoke has reached unhealthy levels.
When smoke levels are high, even healthy people may experience coughing, a scratchy throat, irritated sinuses, shortness of breath, chest pain, headaches, stinging eyes, and a runny nose.
Colorado air quality updates are available at Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Air Pollution Control Division website.
Monitoring ongoing wildfire information
There are a variety of information sources available to the university community. Most importantly, when a fire or other hazard affects Boulder County, local authorities update information on the Boulder Office of Emergency Management website at http://boulderoem.org. This website also contains information on how to sign up to receive alerts when an emergency may affect your home, child care provider or other place of interest within Boulder County.
Other sources for fire information include:
- Colorado Office of Emergency Management (COEM)
- Map of current fires by COEM
- USDA Forest Service Active Fire Mapping
Faculty, staff and students living in active fire areas are urged to pay attention to advisories concerning the changing conditions and possible evacuations and to follow instructions from city and law enforcement officials.
Campus response to wildfires
In a situation where a wildfire's impacts more directly affect the campus, CU officials will partner with city and county officials to closely monitor the situation.
The university will update campus-specific information as needed on the CU-Boulder home page at http://www.colorado.edu and the Emergency Information Line at 303-492-4636. CU faculty, staff and students should also monitor their campus e-mail and cell phones for possible emergency alerts, texts and updates.
If you live in an area affected by wildfire, flood or other local emergency, the campus has developed Disaster Leave Guidelines for pre-evacuees, evacuees and those who have suffered losses in these emergencies.
CU-Boulder encourages all members of our campus community to explore these resources and stay informed regarding emergencies that may affect them at home or at work.

Since the draw was made on March 19, Arsenal and Barcelona fans have been looking forward to Wednesday night's Champions League Quarter-Final first leg.
According to Jordi Abel from leading Spanish radio station IB3, supporters in Spain see Arsenal and the Gunners as two of the world's most attractive teams.
We caught up with Jordi ahead of tonight's game for an insight in Barcelona's season, their key men and an emotional return for Thierry Henry.
"In Spain they are regarded as a really good team. They are seen as a team who plays a similar style of football to Barcelona. Both focus on attacking more than defending. It is not easy to find teams who play that way but it is the way of Arsène Wenger and Pep Guardiola. In Spain when we talk about Arsenal we talk about attacking football."
"Thierry Henry started the season in poor form. He said after the France game against Spain that he was not physically fit but he has recovered now. He is not a young player so he has to be perfectly fit if he is to perform well. His first year at Barcelona was difficult for him, the second year was great for him, but this year he has played on the left because Zlatan Ibrahimovic plays as the central striker."
"They are not as good this year as they were last year. The way the play is not as spectacular. They are winning as much as last season in La Liga but they are not scoring as many goals. Perhaps opposing teams have got to know how to stop them scoring."
"Lionel Messi is just 22 and Guardiola has said that it is too much to say he is the best player in history because he still has his career ahead of him. He does things I have never seen from a player before. He plays quickly with the ball very close to his feet. If he can maintain his level for another five, six, seven, maybe eight years, then he could win many titles."
"Andres Iniesta is a very important player but he is injured. He can play on the left wing, in midfield and in defensive positions. Along with Gerard Pique he is the only player who has played all of Barcelona's Champions League games this season. He is a very important player, more so than Xavi. He holds his position, doesn't lose the ball and helps with attacking and defending.
"Guardiola said they key is to have the ball more than Arsenal. Barcelona don't know how to play defensively, it is not their style, the same as Arsenal. It will be a very open game, and I expect that there will be goals. But you never know in these games because it is the first game of the two legs. Scoring an away goal is important. In the last round Barcelona scored an away goal in Stuttgart and it was very important to take confidence into the second leg."

Speckled with pebbles of amethyst, rose quartz, and milky moonstone, the semi-precious sands of Cambria's Moonstone Beach glisten from dawn until dusk. Named one of America's Prettiest Towns by Forbes in 2010, Cambria is home to the breathtaking bluffs and majestic Monterey pines of San Simeon State Park.

EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. - A former Calhan School teacher is charged with sexually assaulting two students while she was employed there as a teacher.
27-year-old Amanda Rowles is accused of having a sexual relationship with two students under the age of 18. The El Paso County Sheriff's Office says the unlawful activity happened over the course of the 2011-2012 school year.
Rowles had since moved to the Denver Metro area and did not teach at Calhan School this school year.
Rowles was arrested on Thursday by the Aurora Police Department and booked into the Aurora City Jail on a $50,000 bond. She is charged with two counts of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust and two counts of sexual assault on a child/pattern of abuse.

The "acid mantle" is a topic not only of historical interest, but also of clinical significance and has recently been linked to vital stratum corneum function. Despite compelling basic science evidence placing skin pH as a key factor in barrier homeostasis, stratum corneum integrity, and antimicrobial defense, application of the acid mantle concept in clinical care is lacking. We review recent basic science investigations into skin pH, discuss skin disorders characterized by aberrant pH, and finally discuss practical application for preservation of the acid mantle. Recognizing factors that alter skin pH and selecting products that preserve the acid mantle is of prime importance in treating dermatologic patients.

I'm really enjoying my Amsterdam in the Golden Age class. Our topic was religion on Wednesday (9-28) and we talked about three synagogues close to my apartment and a Lutheran church where I actually have one of my other classes. The class is neat, because I can actually go out into the city and see some of the historical things we've discussed. I didn't do much during the week until Saturday and Sunday.
A group of 17 international students from my apartment building took a bike trip west to the beach in the city of
The national park was very pretty, with sand dunes and hills (which were not fun to bike up, by the way). By a lake, we ran into some buffalo/cow-looking creatures that were really calm. We could walk right up next to them and they didn't even seem to notice us. Unfortunately, going through the park morphed what should have been a two hour bike trip into five hours. We were all pretty pooped once we got to the beach.
I was surprised that the beach was so nice! I was expecting more of a small, rocky beach, but it was pretty large and had sand. The water was freezing! We played it safe and only stuck our feet in. We lounged around on the beach for a couple of hours. I tried some fried fish from a stand and liked it (I used to hate seafood). I think I'll have to work myself up before I can try the raw Herring, a typical Dutch delicacy. Before we left, we got to see the sunset behind the water, which was really pretty. We rode the train back, because we were exhausted.
The next morning (9-29), I took the train to the city of Utrecht, the fourth largest city in the Netherlands. It was only a thirty minute train ride from Amsterdam Centraal. When I got to Utrecht Centraal Station, I was astonished by how huge it was! It seemed much larger than Amsterdam's and it even had a mall attached. It took me 20 minutes just to figure out how to get out of the station.
They city was neat to see. It was less touristy than Amsterdam is, which was nice. It was nice to see what a big Dutch city without all of the tourist, coffee, and sex shops looked like. I walked along the Oudegracht (Old Canal), which was very quaint. The canals in Utrecht are nice, because there's a lower level below the street with caf�s and even some shops. I stopped by an icecream stand and got a stracciatella flavored cone that was refreshing.
After that, I checked out the gothic-style Domkerk (Dom Church). The church tower was completed in 1382. Poor funding later during the construction of the nave led to its collapse in 1674. The tower is now separated from the rest of the church, because the nave was never restored. The remaining parts that I saw seamed very large, so I imagine it was an impressive sight to see when the nave was intact. The tower still dominates the city's skyline, over 600 years later.
Overall, I had a great weekend going to the Beach and to Utrecht. Next weekend I'm planning a trip to Berlin with two of my friends. I'm excited to get to see another country in Europe!

Review - Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World
Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World is divided into three chapters. The first one gives a good overview on threats and systems. The next chapter is the biggest of the three and focuses on security technologies which can be used against digital threats. The third and last chapter covers methodologies which can be used in order to build a more secure environment.
In his former book, Applied Cryptography, Schneier wrote about mathematical solutions which seems to be the key to absolute security, at least in theory. In Secrets and Lies he revises his point of view and put it in a more realistic way by applying it to reality. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link it says, which is absolutely true and could be seen many times in past and probably will be seen many times in future. There are reams of threats one have to encounter - systems are connected to the internet, employees could be blackmailed, buildings can be intruded, hardware gets old and vendors could conceal vulnerabilities in their products. In order to know the weakest link one have first to know what the chain consists of. In this first part Schneier explains this and more, and gives some further suggestions, such as possible scenarios and reasons why an attacker might be motivated.
The second and biggest part of this book covers many topics which are important in order to protect against various threats. They are presented in several small parts and discuss their pros and cons and are backed up by samples.

Already in the Market for one brother...
If there is one gun that everybody should own, my choice is the Henry AR7. This marvelous little rifle comes in .22LR. It can be disassembled and stored in its butt stock. It floats in water assembles or disassembled. It is also a dependable shooter. It takes detachable 8 round magazines. They are light enough and compact enough to be carried in a backpack. You could leave on hidden in a corner of your cars trunk. All in all, a very good gun for survival purposes.
This gun was originally designed for Air Force pilots to carry with them as they flew off to combat. In the event that they had to bail out of their plane, it was desired that they should have something they could shoot for protection or possibly to get game. It was decided that any gun beats no gun. They decided that the best caliber for this little gun would be the .22.
The AR7 was designed by Armalite around 1959. Down through the years they have been made by several manufacturers--some good, some not so good. Henry is the manufacturer today and this company prides themselves for making quality products. And, every fiber is made in America!
I have handled these before. They handle nicely and seem to shoot every time you pull the trigger. As I said before: Everybody should have one!
Action Type: Semi-automatic
Caliber: .22 LR
Capacity: 8 round magazine (comes with 2 magazines)
Length: 35″ assembled 16.5″ when stowed
Weight: 3.5 lbs.
Stock: ABS Plastic
Sights: Adjustable rear, blade front (bright orange)
Finish: Teflon coated receiver and coated steel barrel
Country: Made in the USA

"Our rights come from our humanity and may not be legislated away -- not by a vote of Congress, not by the consensus of our neighbors, not even by agreement of all Americans but one." Judge Andrew P. Napolitano
I agree. That is a handy little rifle and well worth buying.
Henry even runs a TV commercial. Have you seen it?
American Made By Americans.
$275 Yikes!
I remember when the Charter Arms ones used to be $99 used any day of the week. Handy lil pack rifle, floats too as they have styrofoam in the stock.
Ramline made 30 rnd plastic mags for a while(semi-ok), and a few other made various steel ones. Kinda rare to find the after-market ones now.
Just be careful if you remove the sideplate and bolt for a full cleaning, it can be rather tough to get the twin recoil springs to not flop in half and knot up with each other when trying to get the bolt back in.

I have one of these "jam o matics" There are VERY ammo sensitiive, not 100% reliable, and the same comments were re interated to me directly from a Henry rep when I called to mention my issues. I had one of the Charter Arms versions also and they were even worse. They are a cool idea and can be made ot work better with a good deal of work.
There was a tutorial around a while ago that discussed this. The only thing I recall, was a mention of "throating" the barrel at the breech with some polishing compound and the head of a bullet, I think it was a cased 223 round if I recall.
It is a fun guy, just would not rely on it in a one shot life or death situation.

I like the handiness of this gun and the fact that it floats in water-assembled or stored.
Last summer a friend bought one for just over $200 out the door, it worked fine but he didn't like the way it felt while shooting, so he sold it to get something else.
I thought it was a decent gun and it was farely accurate, but I didn't care for the sights on it.

I like mine. A gift from my uncle, he bought it in the 70's I think. I carry it when I fish and backpack. It's one of my gotos.
I guess it is cool, but the Ruger 10/22 seems like a much more robust and practical rifle.
Life's a crap shoot. Sometimes you say crap and sometimes you shoot. Make sure that you don't mess those 2 up!

RepairPal Expert Overview
A fuel leak can develop due to an error in the manufacturing process of the fuel filter.
Mercedes-Benz will notify owners of affected vehicles beginning in January 2013. If you are experiencing any fuel odors or a visible fuel leak is found, please call your Mercedes dealer. You should also consider not driving your vehicle and having it towed to the nearest dealer.
Due to a manufacturing defect, a crack can develop on the fuel filter when the vehicle is operated in high temperatures. This crack can result in a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the fuel filter to correct this concern.

{Guest Post: This is a guest post by datacenter executive Mark Thiele, founder of Datacenterpulse.org and EVP of Switch. Mark is a practitioner and thought leader in the datacenter and cloud marketplace.}
Is it safe to build a data center anywhere along the coast? Can you really protect the availability or accessibility of your systems in the face of hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters? Just because you've built a solid structure, doesn't mean you can guarantee accessibility and your data center is nothing without connections.
Keeping the Data Center alive
The general assumption by most is that keeping your data center running is akin to keeping it "available". The reality is that availability and running do go hand in hand. However, running doesn't guarantee availability.
The data center community spends billions of dollars every year on facilities that can withstand a variety of disasters. Money is spent on risk avoidance for fire, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, minor terrorist attacks or even the angry worker trying to drive a truck through the door. However, the primary limitation is still that these protections in most cases only help to guarantee that the data center keeps running.
My Data Center is Safe, what else matters?
So, you figured out how to protect your data center from the disaster du jour, congratulations. It's too bad that even though your data center was protected your customers can't use it or your employees can't access it. That's right, you've got power and HVAC, the servers and disk drives are humming, but your customers can't access anything, why is that?
The data center is no different than a man (person). As with any living being you need your ecosystem to support your existence.
Example disaster scenario: Human in an urban environment
You've built a strong house, with good security. You maintain a small supply of food and water, and maybe even have a generator. Then a major disaster occurs that eliminates your ability to be mobile and your access to many external services.
What happens when:
- – you need a doctor?
- – you run out of milk?
- – you need a firefighter or police officer?
- – you need to travel?
- – you can't connect to NetFlix?
- – your 15 year old can't update Facebook?
- – Etc., etc.
As you can quickly gather from the above example the human in this case is likely to start having problems fairly quickly, even though they are "alive" post disaster. While alive is almost always better than the alternative, being alive for a few extra days is not the same as surviving to live on.
Example disaster scenario: Data Center
You've built an earthquake safe data center (A building that can withstand the proverbial "big one"). You've even installed base isolation under the server cabinets to avoid any serious vibration or shock to the IT equipment. Unfortunately, the water main two blocks away doesn't have the same earthquake protection, and neither did the nearby highway overpass that feeds the area your data center is in. Then, because of a road cracking and the overpass collapse all the fiber coming to your facility is gone. Good news though, the data center is still running on its own generators and temporary water supply.
What happens when;
- – your customer(s) needs to access equipment remotely like they most often do?
- – your staff can't gain access to the facility because of local conditions?
- – your staff is unavailable because they are worried about their own family safety and health issues?
- – you begin to run low on diesel, or water and the roads are impassable or you aren't the priority for limited supplies?
- – Etc., etc.
The above situation can apply to any number of disasters from a hurricane to a tornado or even a major fire, snow storm or flood. In the above scenario your data center might actually be functioning as an island, but what good does that do you? Sure, your equipment is safe, and when services are restored you won't have to rebuild your infrastructure, but in the mean time you are down as far as your customers are concerned.
Modified thinking around data center design and location is required
Historically the concerns I've voiced above were more limited in risk and to some degree even to potential of disaster occurrence. However, there are several factors that are changing or should be changing our long held assumptions about what "safe" means for our data center facilities.
Factor 1: Climate Change
Believe in Climate Change or not the fact remains that on a regional and global scale we are seeing more natural disasters than ever and these disasters are getting bigger in scope. Fires, hurricanes, droughts, tornadoes, and other weather phenomenon are increasingly getting nastier. If we hold the assumption that weather related disasters will occur more frequently, and will impact new regions, we see a significant magnification of the problem occurring (I.e., More storms that are stronger, in combination with a wider area of influence or impact). There's even a new study that suggests that rapid climate change can increase the number and severity of volcanic eruptions.
Factor 2: Density & Value
We are continuing to place more value (real & perceived) on our access to technology. Every day we move more of what we used to do with a car or our hands in to a technology solution. Through the increased availability of technology we are finding even more ways to take advantage of it, effectively accelerating the growth of technology use. This greater our emphasis on technology becomes, the more dependent on it we becomes. As this dependence grows, the importance of it being available to us goes up.
Factor 3: Infrastructure Demands Changing
There are many variables that affect how our IT infrastructure solutions are built and protected. In some cases the advent of cloud oriented solutions means you have greater protection from localized disasters (I.e., Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, etc). However, in other cases, legacy IT, enterprise IT, and Big Data there is likelihood that more protection in a given location will be necessary, not less.
Given the three factors above it would seem to point to the notion that how you build to protect your data center should get a higher priority, but even more importantly, where you build is critical.
Decision Process
As with any major IT or business decision a number of factors of opportunity and risk need to be weighed before you make a final choice. Each of the factors need to be considered; latency, sustainability, access to connectivity, power, water, and skilled staff, etc. So, if you find yourself looking at several options whose costs are similar, but one has a better more survivable location, you know what you should pick. Why accept the risk that a tornado might remove the data centers roof or a flood might inundate your equipment, if you don't need to?
Location, Location, Location…
I've written about site selection decisions before (Blog 1 & Blog 2), but never have I felt it so important to consider the disaster risk at the same level as I do now. With the recent hurricanes on the East Coast, and tornados hitting more often in more locations than ever, I don't see how you can avoid the question of "Is this the safest place for me to entrust my companies IT jewels?"
Whether Human or Data Center, your ecosystem of support is critical
Dig deep into your list of requirements for where you company's compute infrastructure should be placed, eliminate the requirements associated with latency, power, sustainability, political risk, etc. Then using the remaining options, pick the one that offers the best combination of price and protection, keeping in mind that protection is much more than a well-built facility. However, that doesn't mean that if you find a safe geographic location you can forget about things like roof penetrations, wood in the construction, poor operational habits, and other basic facility operations and design factors that are critical to service availability.
With all the concern I've voiced about weather and geography, the two most likely issues are fire (keep wood out) and people (have excellent operations habits and tools).

There are signs that the Group of Seven is finally hip with the Canadian people, even those who don't go to art galleries. At the end of last week's taping I took the TV crew to see the Group of Seven cemetery. We got there and I found that someone had taken the time to write fan letters to the long-dead artists and placed them in front of their rough-rock headstones.

A charter bus carrying senior citizens from Texas to the Coushatta Casino Resort in Kinder was involved in an accident that resulted in multiple injuries Wednesday just north of Iowa, authorities said. (Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 16, 2013 8:55 PM
By Doris Maricle / American Press
A charter bus carrying senior citizens from Texas to the Coushatta Casino Resort in Kinder was involved in an accident that resulted in multiple injuries Wednesday just north of Iowa, authorities said.
The accident was one of two separate crashes that occurred within five miles of each other Wednesday in Jeff Davis Parish near Iowa.
State police said the bus was struck by a pickup truck at about 2:45 p.m. on U.S. 165 at La. 101, about three miles north of Iowa.
Sgt. James Anderson said the pickup, driven by Anthony Pitre Jr., 67, of Lake Charles, failed to yield the right of way to the northbound charter bus. Pitre was taken to an area hospital with serious injuries, he said.
The bus driver, Amos G. Monts, 50, of San Antonio, Texas, told police he tried to brake hard in an attempt to avoid the collision, but was unable to, Anderson said. Monts was not injured, he said.
Seven of the 46 passengers on the bus were taken to area hospitals with minor injuries, police said.
The bus was traveling from Bastrop, Texas, to Kinder.
An early morning traffic accident involving two 18-wheelers closed Interstate 10 East just east of Iowa for several hours Wednesday.
The right shoulder of the interstate was reopened just before 10:30 a.m., but traffic remained slow through the area most of the day as crews worked to clear the scene, state police said. Both lanes were reopened after more than 13 hours.
Anderson said the accident occurred at about 3:30 a.m. when an 18-wheeler driven by Aldo R. Gonzales, 27, of Humble, Texas, drove into the rear of another 18-wheeler, driven by Huriberto Almendarez Garcia, 33, of Mexico.
Gonzalez was extricated from his truck and taken to an area hospital with moderate injuries, Anderson said. A passenger in the truck was also taken to an area hospital with minor injuries and was released, he said.
Garcia was not injured.
Gonzalez was cited for following too closely.
Engine parts that were being transported by one of the trucks were scattered across the interstate. Paint and paint products were leaking from the other truck.
Diesel used to fuel one of the trucks leaked onto the interstate, Anderson said.
Traffic was diverted onto La. 3258 and U.S. 90 for most of the day.
