My property is in NW10, Willesden Junction. It is an area very close to Wembley, Portobello Market and Queens Park, Westfield Shopping Centre and the Central Middlessex Hospital ( buses (phone number hidden) and 226).
Transport facilities are very good, two underground stations ( Zone 2), Bakerloo Line which takes about 25 minutes to Oxford St or Piccadilly Circus. The overground will take you all over North London or to the South with a final destination in Clapham Junction. There are also a number of buses to take you to central London, number 18 to Euston, 266 to Hammersmith or to Golders Green. For more information look into (website hidden) where you can get all the information regarding public transport.
If you like to exercise, Roundwood Park is just a 5 minute walk where you can exercise in a very relaxed setting but if you are more into swimming or weight training, Willesden Sports Centre is a 12 minute walk. The sport centre is very good and you can pay by the day, so you could incorporate training in your holidays or your short stay. For more information about the centre please have a look at their web page: (website hidden) There is also a Bikram yoga centre about 15 minutes bus ride from the flat: (website hidden) If you are interested in mediation and more alternative ways of life, the Brahma Kumaris centre is a 15 minute walk from the flat, more info in : (website hidden)
The area has quite a few good affordable restaurants ranging from Spanish, Caribbean, Brazilian and Iranian as well as a few good pubs on the Harrow Road such as the trendy Paradise or William the IV.
The flat was completely refurbished in 2009 with all modern facilities. There are two bedrooms, one occupied by me and a double room which is the room offered to rent. You will have access to quite large family kitchen and if If you are lucky enough to have good weather, a lot of my guests, have breakfast in the garden. We get the sun all day and it is very pleasant in the morning to sit and start the day in a peaceful manner.
I am flexible in terms of checking in and out and you will have your own keys. If you are a driver I have a guest parking permit so there is no problem for you to bring your car.
I love London and have quite a busy social life, so I can also give you information about this wonderful city in terms of what is going on for people who want to feel the real London and not just the tourist visits and if you are a dancer... that is my passion, so you will have all that information at your hands. I speak English, Spanish, French some Portuguese, some Italian , and my son is fluent in French so we can answer questions in a few languages and help you if you need further information about the area.
If you are a driver, I can book parking on the street for your stay. I provide this service free.
I interact with my guests as much as I can. If I am home and I am cooking I love to invite the guests to share the meal with my son and myself. I am very proud to say that some of my friends are from Wimdu that came as guests and we become friends.
I love interacting with people and any information you need I would be glad to spend time with you and explain. I love London and everything that it is offered, therefore I have good knowledge of how to get the most out of this wonderful city.
I love the diversity of this neighbourhood, different cultures and sometimes the crazy ambience that the area provides.If you are a cook, the area is like Aladin's Cave. You can find meats from Brazil in the local Brazilian's butchers. All type of Caribbean food at Blue Mountain ( a shops that caters for the Caribbean community).
There is also a 24 hour supermarket that offers Turkish food, olive bar, polish deli counter and freshly baked bread.
There is also some good restaurants in the area such as Iranian food, Spanish, Italian and Brazilian.I love the fact that you don't have to leave the area in order to meet all these different cultures.
There are also a couple of Brazilian/ Portuguese clubs with one of them offering Kizomba classes.
The flat is located 12 minutes walk from Willesden Junction. The Bakerloo line will take you to central London in 25 minutes, Picadilly Circus and the overground can take you to the North of London in very short space of time as well as to the South of London ( Clapham Junction).
The M1 is 10 minutes drive from the flat and the North Circular is also very close. The M40 is about 15 minutes drive.

Me and my friend had best time in London at this trip! On the first day we said it is nice to stay in suburb. You see the everyday life and it is just amazing. Room was just on point and host was also amazing. Definitely would go to stay Pilar again. Two stundent girls just says yes to room, yes to public transport and yes to London!
Very kind host, made us feel at home. Nice multicultural suburb not too far from London. Would definitely be back when we're in the area again.
My daughter (11) and I stayed 4 nights at Pilars in July. We really enjoyed our stay because of Pilars great hospitality, the nice room with the comfy bed, the lifely area and the great connection to the center of the city. We did not met Pilar personally but could easily reach her, sending a text and her answer came immediatly, or via email. Before the trip she provided us a lot of useful information via email about the area, supermarkets, restaurants, things to do etc. On our departure date we could stay as long as we would in the room, I was very thankful for that opportunity because we had a very late flight back. The tube station is a 15 minutes walk away. If we come back to London we would stay again at Pilars and can recommend her accomodation.
We stayed at Pilar's home from june 27th to july 1st. We rented the frontroom of her house. Pilar's hospitality was great. She is relaxed and easy going. A big plus was the free parking she offered. As we drove to London with our own car having a free parking place was one of the reasons for choosing Pilar. Traveling to London City Centre will cost you 30-45 min. In walking distance (10-15 min) are Willesden Junction and Harlesden tube stations. Be aware that you share the bathroom and kitchen with Pilar and her son. Earlier reviews stated that the bathroom door could not be locked. That is no longer the case. The door can be locked. So if you are looking for a room in London with a good price/quality ratio and parking facilities Pilar's room is a good choice.
My boyfriend and me stayed at Pilar's home for 6 nights. We went there by car and it was easy to park it near the house. We felt easy and welcome. It was a pleasure to meet Pilar and talk to her. We would always recommend this accommodation.
The photoes and the reality is the same, we got what we saw. Very comfy, large. The carpet needs a lot of vacuum. To enter into the house is complicated, the key did not turn and needs a lot of trying. Pilar said that this prolem going to be solved soon. There is no lock on the - clean and stylish -bath. The transportation is OK. The back yard is friendly, good to have a coffee there. The land lady invited her friends for a late night dinner so we did not sleep that night. The area does not suitable for a pleasant evening walk. Thank you - good luck.
Pilar is a very good host. She welcomed us warmly, briefed about all everything that might be useful. The house near Wilesden Junction is very beautiful and well maintained. I'm sincerely recommending staying with Pilar at her location. Thank you for everything :)
We had delicious and precious moments in the house of Pilar !
The house is nice and cozy and exactly like the pictures !
The hospitality of Pilar & Marcelo is superb !
The neighbourhood is full of places to discover !
You can trust Pilar, she loves her neighbourhood and knows the best plans in the area ! Get outside of the center of London, to discover places more confidential and culturally rich !
We loved these pubs, and supermarkets, and a special mention to O TAMARIS CAFE for its Portuguese cakes just divine!
And the "Misty Moon" for its excellent indian cook.
Frankly the home Pilar entered our heart ... And it is a little sad that we have left home but we will come back very soon ...
We had a very pleasant stay in Pilar's apartment, it was small yet comfortable and had everything we needed for our short stay. As we visited London only for a few days we can't really comment on all the different ways of transportation among other things in the area. But the nearest bus stop was a 5~10 minutes walk which was really convenient for us. The purpose of our stay was a concert in Wembley Arena, so if you happen to plan the same I can assure you that you will get to the Arena within half an hour (by bus).
Highly Recommend!! :) (Even though it's slightly away from the city center)

Discussion in 'Sports Zone' started by Diogenes, Nov 3, 2012.
Does anybody think LSU will win this game? You can count me out.
im recording this game, next time i cant fall asleep at night, ill start watching it.
LOL. The prospect of a 9-6 game doesn't get you excited? These two teams look like the same two from last year, only some of the names have changed. LSU has a very good defense and Alabama has a great defense. LSU, like last year, does not have a QB that can throw downfield.
I was hoping somebody could tell me how LSU could make this game exciting. Guess that won't be you, huh.
I don't think LSU can win. Not unless Alabama turns it over a bunch of times.
Their offense just cannot stay competitive. I don't get how they recruit, lol.
LSU has a chance of slim to none. I am excited for the Oregon, USC game.
It's tough to win at Red Stick... should be a good game to watch...
I didnt realize Alabama QB was that efficient. 18 tds and 0Int
they really havent played anyone yet
Oregon looks to be the best right now... KState is 1a...
Go LSU.
Isnt it spelled geaux?
Yes. Yes it is.
LSU has a huge problem at QB. Got a turn over deep in Bama territory and proceeded to go back wards. Got zero points. Thanks for playing.
I'm not falling for Oregon again.
You gotta... they are REALLY good...
i'm watching Alabama RT - fluker, he is a beast.
Damn that Saban running up the score.
Bama and Oregon would be a hell of a game.
He does have a little Eric Williams to his game.
I'm smart:laugh1:

Scientists examine the wear on deer teeth to determine age. In turn, biologists study age data to determine statewide herd health and stability. Deer antlers are a field guide to determine age and trophy status. Two organizations (Boone and Crockett, Pope and Young) register trophy deer based on antler measurements. AGFC's three-point rule is designed to increase herd health and average buck age.
Age class – individuals in a species population that are all the same age or in the same age group; example: the two-year age class of white-tailed deer includes all deer born in the breeding season two years earlier.
Amendment 75 of 1996 – conservation sales tax passed by Arkansas voters in November 1996, which took effect July 1, 1997; designates 1/8th of 1 percent of the state's general sales tax for Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (45%), Arkansas State parks (45%), Arkansas Heritage Commission (9%) and Keep Arkansas Beautiful Commission (1%); also called the conservation sales tax
Antler – fast-growing bony structure shed each year from the head of an adult male deer or elk, female caribou and other cervid; frequently branched with multiple points
Arkansas Game & Fish Commission (AGFC) – the state agency responsible for managing fish and wildlife

Central Arkansas Nature Center – one of four facilities owned and operated by the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission to provide conservation education programs, displays and exhibits.
Dentine – soft, dark material beneath the surface enamel of deer teeth; visible dentine indicates an older deer whose teeth have worn
Horn – permanent, unbranched bony core covered by a thin layer of keratin atop the head of several mammals; usually grown by both sexes and usually has a yearly "ring" that marks the animal's age
Incisor (deer) – front tooth for cutting or gnawing; cannot be used to age deer by wear but can be used to age by cross-sectioning and counting annual rings; adult deer have eight incisors
Molar – back tooth of deer used to chew food; can be used to estimate deer age by looking at visible amount of wear or by cross-sectioning and counting annual growth rings; adult deer have 24 molars

Former TV star visits Tri-Cities, raising awareness of internet safety
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Internet predators are everywhere. In fact, according to the FBI, there's a one-hundred percent chance of a child meeting a predator in a chat room.
"It does scare me, it's not just in the big cities, it's in the small towns too," says parent Denise Painter.
And that's why an organization called 'Safe Surfin' has made the movie "Finding Faith". It focuses on internet safety and crimes against children.
First Baptist Church in Kingsport aired the film Wednesday evening.
"Trying to just help people understand that while the internet has wonderful possibilities, there are also dangers lurking out there if children don't have proper supervision while they're on the internet," Pastor Marvin Cameron says.
Actor Erik Estrada, known for his leading role in the late 70s and early 80s hit TV series "Chips", is the international spokesperson and also stars in the film.
He told News 5 why this is such an important role.
"As we're talking, children right now at home, or on their smart phone, or computers at home...being groomed by online sexual predators. And war has not been declared on the internet and it should be. It should've been years ago," Estrada says.
Officers say the best way to protect your child is by monitoring not only the computer, but monitoring their cell phone as well.
"The main thing we're trying to do is make parents be aware of what their children do, we encourage the computer to be in a internal location and parents can be aware of who kids communicate with online," says Tom Patton with the Kingsport Police Department.
Which is why mother of two Denise Painter says, she always monitors her children's internet access.
"I have restrictions on his iPod and on his phone. You can go in the restrictions area and pick out what age level to set stuff through," Painter says.
Actor Erik Estrada is traveling around the country all year to present the film.
He tells News 5 he wants to show as many parents and teenagers as possible.

New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Gena Showalter ignites a thrilling new paranormal series with this breathtaking tale of a warrior enslaved by desire, and the woman who frees his soul.
The Sweetest Temptation...
Black ops agent Solomon Judah awakens caged and bound in a twisted zoo where otherworlders are the main attraction. Vika Lukas, the owner's daughter, is tasked with Solo's care and feeding. The monster inside him yearns to kill her on sight, even though she holds the key to his escape. But the human side of him realizes the beautiful deaf girl is more than she seem - she's his.
The ultimate price....
Vika endures the captives' taunts and loathing, hoping to keep them alive even if she can't free them. Only, Solo is different - he protects her. But as hostility turns to forbidden romance, his feelings for her will be used against him...and he'll be put to a killer test.
©2012 Gena Showalter (P)2013 Simon & Schuster Audio
"irritating references"
The story was ok but those irritating references from the Bible by every start of a chapter no thanks
No I would not again the references thy get you out of the story line
The share of hearing parts
Narrator has a good voice, story is enjoyable but again I got so sick of the Bible references that it took me out of the story. (And I do like the Bible but not in a romance book)
"Enjoyable listen and good start to a new series"
I am a fan of Gena Showalter's Lords of the Underworld series so was looking for any of her books to appear on the Audible UK site. I was happy with both the story and narrator of this audio book. I will definitely be looking for more of this series on Audible.
"Don't bother."
I read Gena's dark lords series and a lot of her other stuff. This is book is not her typical good read. It's boring slow and predictable. This book was trite and I'm sorry I wasted my time and credit on it.
"Potential, But Fell Short"
I love Gena Showalter, but this book was "meh" - average and slow. The hero, Solomon, had a lot of potential - a big, strong, unusual assassin, with a tortured but good soul. The heroine, Vika, put up with an abusive father her whole life, yet she remains kind and sweet. I kept waiting for the chemistry, but the book just never "took off." It was very slow - I actually speed up the book to 1.25x to get through it. I kept waiting for the book to really capture my attention, but it never did. I had to force myself to finish it. Showalter's books have so much potential, but when they fall short, it is frustrating, as the story lines and characters always have potential. Despite my disappointment, I'll listen to the next book in the series, as the other potential heroes have real potential, and when Showalter is good, she is great.
"So glad it's over"
It sounded so promising. An otherworlder (Solomon) captured and imprisoned in an evil circus with a beautiful deaf woman (Vika) taking care of him. I just knew sparks would fly, battles would rage, and they would overcome all types of obstacles as their passions raged.
Meanwhile……..I find myself looking at the time left in the book to see if it's about over. I usually love Gena's books. I liked some of it but mainly I want something to happen. Make love, maybe a laugh, a touch of suspense, wild sex, a fierce battle; just quit being so tortured and over thinking things. It's my personal preference for a book in this genre to have more "chemistry". Well actually that's in any book. It's just one of those books that you are just waiting for it to sweep you into that world and take you away for a while. I never got swept in to anything even though the last hour is pretty good.
I don't recommend this one. If you follow my reviews and you somewhat agree with them then I believe you're not going to like this one. This book does contain some mild sexual content at the end but it's nothing to graphic. Based on this first book I do not think I will get any others in this series. I know this is a first in a series and sometimes they usually explain allot of details about the series but this one didn't even do that. I really don't know much about the otherworld race after listening for 10+ hours.
"Gena Showalter is amazing!"
I've always loved Gena Showalter's books. This new series is just as amazing as her Atlantis series and her LOTU series. The narrator is great and has a voice made for reading!
"Good listen after reading it three times"
amazing fun exciting!
the paranormal aspect with real life emotions and the circus and aliens!(otherworlders!)
No, but I have to say listening to his voice was soothing, and you could depict "voices" from certain characters, easy to follow along with.

Latest results for Zeiss lensesMonday March 28 2011 Lens Review
Distagon T18mm f/3.5
This very-wide-angle prime lens reaches its best DxOMark Score (150 Lux - 1/60th exposure time) and its best mid-light scores (5000 Lux – 1/125th) at f/5.6 in both cases. Its very wide angles combined with its good performance make it a suitable lens for landscape and architecture shooting. Mounted on an APS-C body, the crop factor of the sensor makes this 18mm a bit longer (28.8mm) and suitable for reportage as well as for landscape shooting.
On a full-frame sensor (EOS 1Ds MkIII):
This 18mm delivers a very good resolution with 51lp/mm, and a rather restrained distortion measured at 0.4%, which is quite good for such a wide-angle lens. Its biggest weaknesses is light transmission above 4 T-stops (certainly derived from its complex optical formula), and quite pronounced LCA limited to the sides of the map between f/3.5 and f/5.6, but invading a much bigger area at f/8 and higher.
The best resolution is achieved between f/3.5 and f/11. Wide open, its center is already very sharp. Stopping down to f/5.6 delivers a highly detailed central zone (up to one-third of the map), with the next one-third being very good too (above 50lp/mm). Stopping down to f/11 will make the last one-third of the map and the angles much better.
Vignetting is quite important wide open, mostly in the corners. At f/5.6, things are much better, but no matter the aperture, the vignetting is always noticeable.
On an APS-C sensor (EOS 7D)
Mounted on an APS-C sensor, the behavior is similar. The resolution decreases a bit, which is normal. Although the map looks similar to that of the full-frame sensors, the best definition is found between f/5.6 and f/8, where it remains above 50lp/mm on most of the map, except for on the edges; but the overall homogeneity is quite good.
Reducing the sensor size always has a very strong impact on vignetting. If it was important on a 24x36 sensor, on this sensor it is halved, and much easier to handle even at full aperture. At f/5.6, vignetting simply disappears.
Zeiss Distagon T 18mm f/3.5 ZE Canon v. Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM
Mounted on a Nikon body, this lens achieves its best low-light and mid-light scores at f/4, except for the mid-light score on an APS-C sensor (achieved at f/5.6).
The strength of this wide-angle lens is clearly its reduced distortion (0,7% on a full-frame and 0,5% on an APS-C); on the other hand, chromatic aberrations are pronounced, especially on the last one-third of the field when mounted on an APS-C sensor, and its resolution may not be as high as expected.
On a full-frame sensor (D3X):
Associated with a full-frame sensor, this 18mm provides a sharp central zone at full aperture. Stopping down to f/5.6 makes this central area wider, making the whole first one-third clear and sharp. But the corners remain much softer. At f/8 they are degraded, but improve again at f/11.
Vignetting is quite visible at f/3.5, but gradually diminishes when the lens is stopped down. But although it is easily manageable, it never totally disappears.
On an APS-C sensor (D300s):
On an APS-C body, this wide-angle lens is not as good as it was on full-frame. When fully opened, most of the field map is soft. Stopping down to f/5.6 and f/8, and even f/11, makes the center much better, but the last one-third of the map remains softer.
Vignetting here is not a real problem. Noticeable at full aperture, it almost disappears when stopped down to f/5.6, leaving only the corners a bit darker.
Zeiss Distagon T18mm f/3.5 ZF2 v. Nikkor AF-S 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Carl Zeiss is one of those almost mythical lens makers. Focusing on quality, its lenses almost always rely on complex optical formulas. Their price reflects this involvement in quality, and logically Zeiss lenses are on the same shelves as the very high-end Canon or Nikon models.

Planned this week:
Sewer, water line installation, decontamination, drainage system work continues. No work will take place from Dec. 22 to Jan. 2.
Dec. 6: Day 228 of 820
Start date: April 23, 2012
End date: Aug. 23, 2014
Percent complete: 27.8%
Holiday/rain days: 7/26
Storm days: 2
This week's FAQ:
How did this project get started, and why will it take so long?
The project, and all its revisions and permits, has taken over 10 years to develop.
It will take so long because four elements are involved: sewer, water, drainage and the seawall. The original timeline was 1,200 days, about 3¬½ years, but FDOT worked with the city of Key West and the Chamber of Commerce to reduce it to 820 days, affecting two tourist seasons instead of three.
The reduction was made possible by giving the contractor more leeway, allowing work to proceed to the next sequence of the project when one of the four elements is completed in the prior.
The state also added a $10,000 per day incentive for early completion, which adds up to $1.2 million if the project is done in 700 days.
There are financial penalties for late completion, also at $10,000 a day, plus damages of an additional $6,800 a day.
For more information, visit www.fdotmonroe.com/keywest or contact spokesman Dean Walters at firstname.lastname@example.com or 305-849-1474.

Most Innovative Green Products of 2011
2011 may have been a slow year for the building and remodeling industry, but some products stood out from the crowd. To succeed in this recovering economy, a green product must appeal to the practical side of design and construction professionals, end-users, and – of course – comply with the green standards defined by LEED and NAHB-Green. That gives dealers, distributors and sales reps some unique insight as to which green products will catch on in the marketplace… so those are exactly the opinions GBPD sought out in selecting the Most Innovative Green Products of 2011.
Cotton Insulation
Produced from 85% recycled denim and cotton fibers, Cotton Armor from Applegate Insulation is a premium grade product that boasts superior thermal and acoustic insulating performance. For example, a wall filled with its R-21 thermal batt also provides a 54 STC (Sound Transmission Class) rating. An R-13 Cotton Armor insulated wall has an STC of 52, which is equivalent to 12 inches of cement. Comparable steel stud walls insulated with fiberglass batts have STC ratings typically in the forties, while a 2" x 4" gypsum-finished wood stud wall without insulation has an STC of 33-35.
Available in R-13, R-19 and R-21 for 2x4 and 2x6 studs, it is sized for 16" o.c. and 24" o.c. residential and commercial framing, which combined with its rigidity and rebound helps reduce compression, gaps, and voids that can significantly decrease both acoustical and thermal performance. The company claims to achieve higher R-values using less fiber then comparable products – even other denim insulation.
Unlike fiberglass, the product is not scratchy to touch and can be installed without gloves or respirator. It contains no formaldehyde or toxic chemicals. The product's fibers are layered for easy cutting with any ordinary utility knife. Manufactured in Georgia, the batts have a Class A fire rating and are borate treated for vermin and mildew resistance.

Wool Insulation
Wool insulation has always been popular in British Isles and other sheep-growing regions of the globe. But in real world comparisons, how does sheep's wool insulation stack up against fiberglass, cellulose, cotton fabric, and other synthetic materials?
That's what the team at Oregon Shepherd looked to discover through independent testing. The lab results were actually more impressive than they expected; according to George Cornwall, the company's operations manager, their loose-fill wool insulation offers higher R-values per square foot than comparable cellulose, cotton, or fiberglass materials without any of the health or safety concerns. It also provides superior acoustic noise blocking performance.
Oregon Shepherd's natural wool insulation is free of toxins and petrochemicals. It actually absorbs and traps airborne formaldehyde from other sources, which means that it actually improves indoor air quality. Thanks to a non-toxic borate treatment, the product is vermin resistant and performs better in high-temp or fire conditions than synthetic materials such as fiberglass.
While most synthetic insulation materials lose effectiveness if they become wet, natural wool excels where there is humidity because wool can not only absorb moisture, but exorb it as well. Oregon Shepherd's natural wool insulation meets ASTM E-84, E-1496, and C-518 standards.
Natural wool insulation may be the most sustainable building material available. It is rapidly renewable, long-lasting, naturally sourced with an incredibly small carbon footprint, and biodegradable or recyclable at end of use.
There's no learning curve for contractors or installers working with natural wool insulation - although Oregon Shepherd remains ready to provide technical assistance or answer user questions. Any equipment that will handle loose-fill cellulose or fiberglass insulation will do the job, even low-end rental units. Oregon Shepherd provides a vapor permeable membrane for vertical installations within exterior walls, and also offers natural wool insulation in rolls and batts.

Smog Eating Roof Tiles
Boral Roofing's SMOG-EATING Tile incorporates a photo catalytic agent, titanium dioxide, to break down nitrogen oxide (NOx) molecules and significantly reduce their impact on the environment. When the sun's rays hit the tiles, the Ti02 reacts with and neutralizes NOx. The by-products are harmless and wash off the roof with rain, acting as a fertilizer to the soil below.
This innovative roofing product is sustainably sourced, promotes energy efficiency, and is 100% recyclable at end of life. The tiles are made from naturally occurring, locally-sourced raw materials in manufacturing plants located across North America. utilizes an elevated batten system, vented eave risers and ridge guards to reduce energy costs.
SMOG-EATING Tiles offer the same benefits with the same expected lifespan of other tile roof products. While individual savings will vary, studies have shown that clay and concrete tile roof systems can reduce the amount of heat penetrating a conditioned space by 50% when compared to direct-to-deck installations, resulting in 22% lower energy consumption.
Nitrogen oxide is a major driver of air pollution and smog, and becomes a greenhouse gas when it interacts with VOCs. Exposure to NOx molecules can also lead to respiratory disorders and cause permanent damage to plants and trees. Over the course of a single year, 2,000 square feet of the new tiles can destroy approximately the same amount of nitrogen oxide as a car produces in 10,800 miles of driving.
Smog Eating Tile is available in six colors and in three architectural shapes – Low Profile, Medium Profile and High Profile. Boral Roofing has introduced Country Slate–Whitney Grey and Saxony Shake–Kern Canyon for Low Profile; Villa–San Miguel Blend, Villa–Goldenrod Flash and Villa–Kern Canyon Blend for Medium Profile; and Barcelona–Kern Canyon Blend for High Profile.
Boral's Smog Eating Tile qualifies contributes to credits in as many as 4 different LEED categories, and also contributes toward certification in NAHB-Green, Green Globes, and many regional green building programs.

Low-VOC Flooring Adhesive
Includes Moisture Control
Titebond 771-Step is designed to make life easy for flooring contractors looking to install bamboo, cork and engineered hardwood flooring over concrete. The product combines the features of an advanced concrete moisture control system and a quick curing adhesive in a single application, thus reducing time on the jobsite and substantially lowering labor costs. Since the cost of the 771-Step is roughly the same as buying moisture control and adhesive separately, the savings show up on the labor portion of the job, giving 771-Step users a competitive edge on bids.
Titebond 771-Step can reduce the moisture vapor transmission rate from concrete subfloors by 75 percent to 90 percent and is fully warranted against related moisture damage to wood flooring when used as recommended. It can be applied over subfloors with moisture up to 12 lbs. per a calcium chloride test.
Its advanced polymer formulation is easy to trowel on and clean up, and it offers powerful green grab – holding flooring firmly in place once it is seated into the wet adhesive. That powerful grab quickly builds into a strong, yet flexible, bond that can be used on a variety of flooring materials.
Surprisingly, 771-Step offers the performance advantages formerly found in two separate materials while maintaining its VOC emissions under 50 g/L – which is lower than many single-purpose flooring adhesives emit by themselves. The product contributes to as many as 3 different credits under the LEED certification program, and also earns points for projects seeking certification under Green Globes and NAHB's Green Building Standard. Part of Titebond's environmentally safe GREENchoice line, it's available in 3.5-gallon pails.

Recycled Stud System
The EcoStud Track & Stud System is made from lightweight recycled plastic and intended for use in non load bearing exterior walls and interior partition walls. The tough and durable plastic material is mold resistant and eliminates the thermal bridging common to wood or steel. The result is improved R-values as well as reduced sound transmission.
The studs are about half the weight of steel, which reduces the cost of shipping and increases the convenience of warehouse and on-site storage. The studs fit easily into the track, making the job go faster for the veteran framing professional but also easy for novice do-it-yourselfers. The studs are pre-drilled for electrical wiring. EcoStud can contribute to as many as 5 different LEED credits.

Recycled Wall & Ceiling Panels
EssentialBoard from ReWall is a recycled panel product designed for use as sheathing for walls and ceilings, and underlayment for floors, tiles, and counter tops. The lightweight coated panels feature a rigid waterproof composition, and they are compatible with conventional and low-VOC adhesives and fasteners. Panels come in 3/8 and 1/2 inch thickness in standard 4 foot wide dimensions, with a sheer value of up to 574 plf and a bending value of 4,674 psi. A less rigid version of the product, NakedBoard, has a bending value of as little as 232 psi and is ideal for curved wall installations.
Other lightweight panels are available for applications such as decorative wall board, ceiling panels, and temporary sheathing.
ReWall products are manufactured in the midwest using a proven European technology that repurposes polyethylene-coated cartons, cups, and their components into new building materials. That helps recycle some of the 2 million tons of polyethylene-coated cartons and cups that enter landfills every year. The re-processing technique is much more energy efficient than methods commonly used in the U.S., and does not utilize added glue, water, or chemicals.

High Efficiency Hydronic
Forced Air Furnace System
Rinnai's hydronic furnace is designed to work in conjunction with Rinnai's energy-saving tankless water heating system to provide energy-efficient heat for an entire home. The unit uses hot water generated by Rinnai's tankless water heating system to heat the air, which is then distributed throughout the home via the unit's blower and the home's existing ductwork.
During periods of heavy demand, the hydronic furnace gives priority to domestic hot water needs, shutting down the blower to prevent cold air from spreading through the home. An ideal heating option for small- to mid-sized spaces, the hydronic furnace produces heat that is less arid than hot air from a typical gas furnace.
The compact unit requires no venting or gas connections, making it easy to install in a closet or attic space. Thanks to its electronically commutated motor technology, the furnace's ultra-efficient, brushless direct current motor operates up to 48 percent more efficiently than traditional PSC (permanent split capacitor) models. When used in a home or small business, this translates into aditional reduced energy usage and lower operating costs.

LED Downlight
Cree's downlights may look like the same product the company offered a few years ago, but there have been a series of significant improvements over time. The Cree MR4-1000 module now provides higher quality light and efficiency, using 42-percent less input power, than 26-watt compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs. The LMR4-1000 is the first commercially available 2700-K LED module to deliver 1000-lumen output at more than 90 CRI, making it a smart alternative to 100-watt incandescent bulbs in downlight applications.
The Cree LED Module LMR4-1000 integrates all necessary driver electronics, optics and primary thermal management components within the unit, making the compact Cree module drop-in-ready. Designed to last 35,000 hours and dimmable to 5 percent, the LMR4-1000 module is available in color temperatures of 2700 K, 3000 K, 3500 K and 4000 K with more than 90 CRI.

LED Bulb
The traditional A19 bulb shape has been the icon of bright ideas for the last century, and the familiar screw-in lightbulb seems likely to remain a staple for the foreseeable future, even as designers seek to introduce more utilitarian forms into our long-term future. LED lamps, of course, are more energy efficient than incandescent and fluorescent lighting while offering much greater longevity. While LEDs are finding ever-greater acceptance in commercial, industrial, and educational settings, they have not, however, captured much of the consumer market. Homeowners were slow to adapt to the curly-shaped CFLs, and unfamiliar looking LEDs might face similar initial resistance.
That's why manufacturers continue producing screw-in bulbs to the retail market. Toshiba's A19 LED lamp reduces energy use by more than 75 percent and lasts up to 40 times longer than incandescent lamps. Based on an average use of three hours a day, the Energy Star rated A19 lamp is expected to last 22.8 years. The "soft white" lamp also features a 450-lumen output, reaches full brightness instantly, and contains no mercury or lead.

Asphalt Patching Compound
Aquaphalt has been formulated to serve as a permanent patching material for repairing potholes and other types of asphalt or concrete pavement damage. It's designed around a proprietary water-activated binder, which causes it to harden quickly and permanently. It applies equally well in all weather conditions and hardens to form a permanent patch that's as strong or stronger than the surrounding pavement. The material is effective with or without aggegate.
Unlike virtually every other asphalt patching material, Aquaphalt is VOC-free. Other currently available "cold-patch" asphalt products provide only temporary solutions to potholes and must eventually be replaced by permanent pavement materials such as concrete or conventional asphalt – both of which have a much larger carbon footprint. The product has been developed and used successfully in Europe for over a decade.

text: Steve Spurrier may not have been a good fit in the NFL. However, the ol' ball coach says Nick Saban and powerhouse Alabama have what it takes to compete at the highest level. "Alabama, gosh, they look like they could beat a couple of those NFL teams that I've watched on Sundays," Spurrier said Wednesday on "The Dan Patrick Show." "I think a lot of the oddsmakers out there that usually know what's going on, I'd guess Alabama would be favored by a little bit." Spurrier's notion that Alabama would be favored over a pro team is not shared by oddsmakers in Las Vegas. According to RJ Bell of Pregame.com, the Crimson Tide would be a 24-point underdog against the 1-6 Jacksonville Jaguars on a neutral field. Article

It's been a busy fall and I didn't get the mouse guards on. Very important out here, lots of mice.
The bees are clustered and haven't flown in probably a few weeks so I do hesitate disturbing them.
It's cold enough that if I pop the hives open, manipulate enough to know there aren't mice, then re-close- bees are going to fly out and not be able to get back in before they cool and fall to the ground.
Any tips?
Also- the propolis between boxes will be cracked leaving little air spaces the bees worked hard to close up. My boxes are old so this is significant in my opinion. As we get some very windy conditions is it worth duct taping (or another tape?) the seams between supers?


text: hello, started a topbar i made in june with a swarm. they have been doing well and have filled 3 quarters of the hive already. they don't have much capped honey, but thats probably beacuse they used alot they brought in to build comb. I'm planning to start feeding 1:1 syrup. My question is, with my location in northeastern massachusetts, what can i do to help insulate the hive and prevent condensation? thinking inch foam board on the outside, any other ideas?

Now your telling me I can't drink or do drugs while driving
I have a friend that rents the same kind of truck from Penske without having his own DOT number, so I guess driving a rental truck is safe
Now your telling me I can't drink or do drugs while driving
I have a friend that rents the same kind of truck from Penske without having his own DOT number, so I guess driving a rental truck is safe
Remember the IFTA and IRP regulation
If your 26,000lb rated truck is load and gets stopped at a weigh station if you are over the registered weight you will get fined not only for the over-weight but also ifta and irp will kick in and thats where the fines will tack up.
ifta fines can cost $1,000.
if you haul a trailer that will put your registered weight over 26,000lb get ifta decals and complie. we run farm plates on our trucks and trailers, should have cdl's but the scales are looking at the weights and ifta decals, will generally get you thru.
I've got a lot of mixed info on 26k GVW but the DMV showed me in writing that I can load my truck to 26k and still pull a trailer under 10K. I also found a site where an FMCRA rep stated the same. I have almost zero confidence in anything at this point and hope if I make any minor errors that it will be a warning and not a ticket. Everyone appears to have a different opinion on this stuff with tickets to prove they're right. I will get "not for hire" stickers and all the safety stuff, and temp permit, and hope for the best driving the truck back to Nevada from CA. I hate being at the bottom of a learning curve.
Best of luck. I dont envy you. I hope all goes well with you ....GB

Like Harry said-just have fun and enjoy the trip.The CHP is often confused about all this too.
There are just too many rules these days. Like the lyrics "sign, signs, everywhere is signs, breaking the scenery, breaking my mind, can't do this, do that can't you read the signs"
I just finished up this whole gig for my truck. It's a f550. 16 ft flatbed
Law: must have us dot # and name on truck
must keep time log for when I'm in the 150 radius keep three months in office last 30 days in truck preferred
When traveling out side 150 k or State to State must keep log book
Must do annual inspection on truck and trailers
Proper insurance and registration
Copy of regestration with proper tire size on that paper(you can hand that over instead of the original.)
And well that's most of it. You need to keep on file service records. Good idea any way
I'm sure I missed stuff but I was pulled over three week ago. Not pretty. But if you look like your trying to abide the just might take it easier on you.
Other good ideas are Dot medical card. Most offices. Charge 50$ it's a quick phyiscal
Exemptions are nice but if your running pirate it will catch up with you.
Quarterly self truck inspection kept in an inspection book in your truck.
Some states are different. The best way to really cross your T's and dot your I's is to apply for a us dot number. After one year you will typically receive an evaluation. This officer knows what's up. If he doesn't, encourage him to look up those exceptions mentioned in earlier post.
Other than that CHIPS are nailing us. It's not the scales that worry me, its the hwy patrol that think they know every law. They will cost you time and money.
This is coming from a Colorado keeper.
Good Luck and if you find major additional laws I missed feel free to pm me.
Ps. I don't intend to know everything but I'm learning as I go. See you on Cali at the beach.

Thank you Riverdog! And straight from the 2010 Californication Driver Handbook, page 5, LICENSE CLASSES: Class C License - You may drive any 2-axle vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 26,000 lbs. or less; any 3-axle vehicle weighing 6,000 lbs. or less gross; any housecar 40 feet or less; 3-wheel motorcycle; a vanpool vehicle designed to carry more than 10, but not more than 15 persons including the driver. The driver must have a medical certification on file with the DMV and carry a valid medical card. The driver shall keep in the vanpool vehicle a statement, signed under penalty of perjury, that he/she has not been convicted of reckless driving, drunk driving, or hit-and-run in the last five years.
You may tow: a single vehicle with a GVWR of 10,000 or less including a tow dolly if used.
With a vehicle weighing 4,000 lbs. or more unladen, you may tow: a trailer coach or 5th wheel travel trailer under 10,000 lbs. GVWR when towing is not for compensation; a 5th wheel travel trailer exceeding 10,000 lbs. but under 15,000lbs GVWR, when towing is not for compensation and with endorsement.
A farmer or employee of a farmer may drive any combination of vehicles with a GVWR of 26,000 lbs. or less if used exclusively in agricultural operations and it is not for hire or compensation.
NOTE: Class C licensees may not tow more than one vehicle; a passenger vehicle, regardless of weight, may not tow more than one vehicle; no motor vehicle under 4,000 lbs. unladen weight may tow any vehicle weighing over 6,000 lbs. or more gross. (CVC 21715)
I'll get back to you with class B license info soon.
Thanks riverdog and kilocharlie,
I just got back from the DMV. The gal treated me like an idiot because I didn't thoroughly understand IRP, DOT, IFTA, etc. She said I could avoid IRP if I pay at the truck scales at Truckee (I thought otherwise for less than 26K GVWR) instead of upfront splitting between Nevada and California. I guess the DOT and a physical are required but no IFTA.
I tried to figure a way to get a temporary permit to allow me to transport my truck from California back to Reno but she indicated I would have to get some kind of paperwork from California at one of their DMV offices in person. The problem is that I purchased the truck from Penske in Washington and had them drive it to a shop in California to have a lift gate added. Once the truck is fitted with a lift gate I need to go get it and return to Nevada. You would think that Nevada could issue a temporary permit for the trip.
Now I have to fill out an affidavit for farming; registration for DOT; get a physical; and then get VIN inspection and registration. I feel like a bee covered with Varroa. I guess after this mess is over I can look forward to working on taxes for a solid week. Its no wonder our economy is in the toilet. All the time spent filling out useless paperwork could be used toward economic expansion and innovation.
HVH - crying with you, buddy! Seems they cloned Elmer Fudd, subtracted any good qualities he might have had, and the clones all have power trip issues and work for the government.
On the positive side - try to find and make friends with a trucker or even a bee transporter with a class A license and see if he can make it all seem easier for you. You're a few months ahead of me in the same steps, although I won't have the air brakes. I figured beekeeping would require a class A license sooner or later, so I'm studying for it. My police friends suggested going for a ride-along with the CHPs and get to know them. I've started applying and plan on springing for lunch, bringing cookies and doughnuts. Sounds like brown nosing, but these guys can help a lot and they don't get fussy with guys they know and like.
The thing is - I purchased an under 26K GVWR truck so I could drive with a Class-C for the time being. I may go commercial too, some day, but I had hoped that running with a non-commercial license would allow me to drive the truck like it was just a big pick-up. I guess it is still considered a commercial vehicle (over 10,001 lbs) even though I am driving it with a non-commercial license. The gal at the DMV told me I will need a medical card. I was told before hand that I wouldn't. I was also told I didn't need a DOT number until the same gal told me otherwise. It isn't that I can't do all this crap, but it just fries me to no end being regulated to the point where the real work doesn't get done. I think there is some truth to the argument that the roads are safer for it, but where do you draw the line in the sand. Is one accident too many. Is 10 too many? Is 100,000 too many? Do we get to the point where we realize that we are handing our futures over to China because we have gotten soft and over-regulated? Besides, I think it has more to do with revenue enhancement than safety.
Why no air brakes?
go to a truck stop and pick up a green federal safety regulations book. 5 dollars+ mine is on page 376 (apiarian industries) it says the rules of this part do not apply. no medical exam,etc. carry this book with you because most people do not know of special exemptions for beekeepers. you have to take care of yourself. they cannot argue when it shows the law in black and white. good luck
I've read that section and hope the Black & White thing works.
Did some research last night and the gal from the DMV was wrong about virtually everything. No medical card for farmers, no IRP/IFTA for under 26K, and I can get a movement permit in my home state.
I am going to another DMV today hoping I can find someone that is informed and get this truck home.
So I guess everyone that rents a big flatbed from Penske has jumped through all these loops -

HVH, I know first hand that if you have any questions concerning a comm. truck and or regulations DO NOT ask DMV or a local law dog. Call your state motor carrier enforcment office or go to a weight station and ask them,they know the laws on comm. trucks/drivers and can show you in the book. most DMV and local police (and this includes highway patrol) know very little on motor carrier regs. Bsweet
Stop and smell the flowers, 50,000 ladies can't be wrong
Thanks for the advice. You are right - the commercial DMV office we have hear gave me wrong information on almost every imaginable question plus an attitude to go with it. As someone else posted, I will get the green book at a weigh station and dog ear 391.2. I will also collect all other rules and have them handy.
Thanks everyone for your help.
I've run in & out of the state of Florida for the past forty five years. I started out hauling live chickens in Florida when first got licensed then got into reefer trailers hauling produce. Most time anymore I'm steady pulling flatbed, dropdeck, or once in a while a lowboy trailer. I don't ever stop at the Florida scales when empty nor at the agri stations with a flatbed. Back in the sixties when I first started trucking I was told on several occasions to continue on after pulling across the scales a few times with empty trailers. Actually it just creates extra vehicular congestion with empty trucks jamming up the facilities but while trucking in other states I do stop because they will come after you with fines for running the scales. Never been stopped or had a problem with the enforcement in Florida other than a normal check when loaded sometimes crossing the scales. It's to bad other states don't use a little common sense and allow trucks to pass when they can clearly see there is no load on a trailer especially when an interruption in traffic due to vehicles entering or leaving the roadway can quickly cause another accident.
No special license required just because of air brakes. Everyone seems to think a class B is required but its not The NC DMV had to write a letter to the DoD and the gate guard contractor at SJAFB because the gate guards seemed to think we needed a CDL or some special endorsement but never could seem to find it in the book.

If there was a prototype going for a pre-season match then this was it.
Plenty of ball movement, a lot of errors and not much combination.
In what was not a great game of rugby, the Blues managed to pip the Highlanders 31-29 in Queenstown tonight, scoring a penalty to win the game in the final minute of the match.
The Highlanders came out half-asleep in the opening 40 minutes and were somewhat fortunate to still be in the game at the break, down 28-19.
Slowly in the second half, the home side warmed to their work and went ahead when Hosea Gear scored his third try with 15 minutes and it looked as though the Highlanders would get home.
But Baden Kerr managed to knock over a penalty in the final minute to give the Blues a victory.
Centre Rene Ranger looked good for the Blues in the half when he was on the field while flanker Luke Braid got through some work.
Big prop Charlie Faumuina was solid, as was skipper Ali Williams.
The Blues came out all pace and precision and were two tries up in eight minutes and the Highlanders had barely touched the ball but faded as their key players left the field.
Blues 31 (Culum Retallick, George Moala, Tom McCartney, Piri Weepu tries, Weepu 4 con; Baden Kerr pen).
Highlanders 29 (Hosea Gear 3, Jarrad Hoeata, Joe Wheeler tries; Hayden Parker 2 con).
Halftime: 28-19.

You're doing the Iditorod. That is so cool, I love reading your Alaska posts. Is Beat doing it on foot?ReplyDelete
I sorta agree with z man and lose the timed miles. But..then you wouldn't be you, and who am I to judge what makes someone else happy? So never mind. I do agree with the hiking versus running. I do have mountains at my disposal so I hike way more often than I run. and I love those kinds of cabins!ReplyDelete
It's funny with the timed efforts ... I have fun with it, but I don't do it consistently enough to actually garner any "speed" benefits. Right now I'm on a Strava kick. But sometimes I'll go months without using it. For most of the summer I didn't even wear my GPS watch during my outings.ReplyDelete
I find the Strava/timing thing is something I want to do when I feel good about my fitness, which in turn helps build confidence, which makes me feel more enthused about creating bigger goals for the future, which in turn makes me feel more excited about my day-to-day activities and life as a whole.
I thrive on the anticipation of big goals; that's just who I am. These goals don't have to be races, because I'm mostly just competitive with myself, and can't get as worked up about how I stack up against other people. If the goal were a bicycle tour across Mongolia, I would "train" just as hard for that, so I'd feel ready for anything the desert could throw at me. But I love the prospect of a challenge on the horizon; it adds spice to the daily adventures.
Great photos and as usual, exceptional writing!!ReplyDelete

A really nice apartment. Close to centrum. :) We will recommend this apartment to others, who needs a place to sleep, when they visit Prague.
An incredible flat, and amazing city! We had a really good time and we enjoyed it so much :)
The apartment was spacious and the location was close to the city center. The service of the host was good and swift. The downside was that overall the apartment and for sure the bathroom were not clean at all…in the apartment there was a lot of dust and there was mold in the bathroom.
The apartment was good, spacious, host was very friendly and helpful, I could contact them at any time. The apartment was relatively central.
Fantastic apartment, great 'host' my family really enjoyed the space and location. Prague was wonderful.
Ottimo appartamento, ampio e confortevole, pulito, molto vicino al centro. Alex è molto cordiale e disponibile... Consigliatissimo!!!
El anfitrion (agencia) muy muy atento y simpatico. El piso, si sois bastante gente esta muy bien. Una estancia perfecta!
Prima appartement om Praag te bezoeken. Op loopafstand van alle bezienswaardigheden (20-30min). Verhuurders waren goed bereikbaar en bereid om transport naar vliegveld (tegen betaling) en bagage opslag te regelen. Bedden waren wel wat smal en kort, voor vrij ' kleine mensen' prima, maar voor 6 grote mannen lijkt het me wat krap.
Die Wohnung ist sehr nah am Stadtzentrum, dadurch kann man alle Wege zu Fuss erledigen. SIe ist geräumig und ausreichend für 4 Personen. Zu unserem Bedauern funktionierte die Wasserversorgung in der Küche gar nicht. Das Sofa ist anscheinend gebrochen. Das Bett im Wohnraum ist nicht zugebrauchen, da es so durchgelegen ist, daß man nicht drauf schlafen kann. Im allgemeinen sollte in dieser Wohnung geprüft werden , welche Möbel ausgetauscht werden müssen.
Auch Geschirr muss nachgekauft werden, denn 3 Tassen für 4 Gäste sind zuwenig. Der Fahrstuhl funktionierte leider nur am 1.Tag. Trotz allem der Aufenthalt war schön.
Wir hatten trotz dieser Mängel schöne Tage und Prag ist eine Reise wert

He gets a tad repetitive but I like his enthusiasm.
He gets a tad repetitive but I like his enthusiasm.
I also really like how Papa is descriptive of the formation presnap. I listen to the games on the radio a lot. Pretty much, if it isn't a prime time game, I have to listen to it first. It seems small, but it's something a lot of play by play guys don't do well or with consistency.
Bob Papa's awesome. And so is Banks. They're a great team.
Outstanding, to quote a certain coach who has a different color to describe the twenty yards closest to the goal line on offense.
Bob is a product of the one time world's greatest radio station, WNEW AM and it shows. Hard to imagine a better play by play team today.
I listen to them in the background while watching the games with the minute delay on the internet stream. With all the commercials to mute, you get to hear most of the big calls and pick up information from Banksey that you wouldn't otherwise know about while a few commercials are avoided. The audio feed usually goes to break about the same time the live TV feed comes out of commercials too.
So, yes, WE do like Bob Papa, to help shape your opinion for you.

Papa is great.....Gordon and Lynch were the best.......R.I.P.........
You don't realize how great Papa is until you hear announcers from other teams like Merrill Reese from the Eagles.....ugh.....awful....not just saying that because he's an Eagles announcer his voice is just awful.....sounds like he got a banana lodged in his throat......
Surprisingly the Pats guys are pretty good.....got to listen to them cry in their milk twice on SB Sunday's.......

Reviews of this property
The apartment was very nice, clean and well equipped. The large terrace is a real bonus. Located 5 minutes walk from Sagrada Familia and 5 minutes from the metro (Verdaguer and Sagrada Familia), it's only a few stops from the main tourist sites while being quiet. We were welcomed by our host with some tips on the city. No surprise!
L'appartement était très bien, propre et correctement équipé. La grande terrasse est vraiment un plus. Situé à 5 minutes à pieds de Sagrada Familia et à 5 minutes du métro (Verdaguer ou Sagrada Familia), on n'est qu'à quelques stations des principaux lieux touristiques tout en étant au calme. Nous avons été bien accueilli par notre hôte avec quelques conseils sur la ville. Pas de mauvaise surprise !
Reviews for this host's other properties
Very good apartment, ideally located in the Eixample center. Fully equipped on a top floor with balcony with the morning sun shining on it. After some starting problems the WIFI worked well.
the only unpleasant surprise was the outrageous commission WIMDU charged of approx. 75 Euros... That is almost 25 % of the price for the whole stay...
very good service at all, nice people! i can remmoned it!
Great location beautiful air-conditioned apartment with top service
top lage schöne klimatisierte wohnung mit top service
exclente location.
exclente ubicacion.
The apartment is very well located and easily accessible by the Communal transport. The stay was very pleasant. The terrace and the dining area is optimal. The kitchen is well equipped, for coffee pads must be concerned, because no classical coffee machine is available. The bedroom in the picture is great. The second bedroom of the apartment is very small and the window opens to a small inner bay (open upward), where some disturbing noises.
The handover of the apartment was very punctual with a very friendly introduction.
Das Appartment ist sehr gut gelegen und mit den öffenlichen Verkehrsmitteln gut erreichbar. Der Aufenthalt war sehr angenehm. Die Terrasse und der Eßbereich ist optimal. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, für Kaffee müssen Pads besorgt werden, da keine klassische Kaffemaschine verfügbar ist. Das abgebildete Schlafzimmer ist super. Das zweite Schlafzimmer des Appartments ist sehr klein und das Fenster öffnet sich in einen kleinen Innenschacht (nach oben offen), in dem so manche störende Geräusche auftreten.
Die Übergabe des Appartments war sehr pünktlich mit einer sehr freundlichen Einweisung.
Well located housing. In the apartment, a few details about the services of the district (bakery, supermarket ...) and information about emergency medical services would be welcome.
Michèle Grenoble
Logement bien situé. Dans l'appartement, quelques précisions sur les services du quartier (boulangerie, supermarché...) et des informations sur les services médicaux d'urgence seraient les bienvenus.
Michèle de Grenoble
The apartment is in a strategic position. Perfect for four people. I suggest the little things that should be included: a coat rack at the entrance, a towel to use in the kitchen and placemats for breakfast. Picccole things but they are very useful.
We have been good. Giovanna
L'appartamento è in una posizione strategica. Perfetto per quattro persone. Suggerisco delle piccole cose che andrebbero inserite: un attaccapanni all'ingresso , un asciugamani da usare in cucina e delle tovagliette per la colazione. Picccole cose che però sono di grande utilità.
Noi siamo state bene. Giovanna
Apartment close to the Sagrada Familia, clean, well equipped (oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, hi-fi, radio in the shower! And wireless). A spacious great room with a huge wardrobe and another much smaller overlooking the small courtyard, which unfortunately quite loud resonates with sounds of pipes ...
Well equipped kitchen, veranda with table and large terrace in the center of Barcelona, not very friendly!
30 min from the beach by bus, less than 10 euros by taxi from Placa de Catalunya, very pleasant stay.
Appartement à deux pas de la Sagrada Familia, propre, bien équipé (four, micro-onde, lave-vaisselle, lave linge, chaine hi-fi, radio dans la douche! et wifi). Une grande chambre spacieuse avec une immense penderie et une autre beaucoup plus petite donnant sur la petite cour intérieur, assez bruyante qui résonne malheureusement aux sons des canalisations...
Cuisine très bien équipée, véranda avec table et large terrasse en plein centre de Barcelone, plutôt très sympathique!
30 mn de la plage en bus, moins de 10 euros en taxi depuis la place de Catalunya, séjour très agréable.
Very nice stay in Barcelona, friendy organization. Children are welcome. Only drawbacks: slow Wifi, elevator can be heard in one bedroom.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Norman Blake, Nancy Blake And Tut Taylor
In 1961, Blake was drafted into the Army, where he was stationed in Panama. While he was in the service, he was a radio operator on the Panama Canal and he formed a band called the Kobbe Mountaineers. The band became a popular attraction and was voted the best band in the Caribbean Command. In 1962, Blake recorded 12 Shades of Bluegrass with the Lonesome Travelers while he was on leave. He was discharged from the Army the following year and moved to Nashville. Once he was in Nashville, Blake joined Johnny Cash's band. That same year, he married Nancy Short and settled in Chattanooga, Tennessee. For the next few years he played with Cash, both on recordings and concerts. In 1969, Bob Dylan hired Blake to play on his country-rock album Nashville Skyline, providing the guitarist a whole new audience. That audience expanded even further when he became Cash's main guitarist on the singer's television show. Cash's program featured a wide array of musical guests, who were often impressed with Blake's talents. Kris Kristofferson asked him to join his touring band and Norman did so, playing both guitar and Dobro; he also played on several of Kristofferson's records. Blake also played on several of Joan Baez's records, including her hit version of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down."
Following his folk and country-rock experiments, Blake returned to his bluegrass roots in 1971 when he joined John Hartford's band, Aeroplane, which also featured fiddler Vassar Clements. Aeroplane fell apart quickly, but Blake stayed with Hartford for a year and a half. In 1972, Norman recorded his first solo album, Back Home in Sulphur Springs, which began a long relationship with Rounder Records. This arrangement lasted through Blake's 1990 album Norman Blake and Tony Rice 2, a follow-up to an earlier collaboration with Tony Rice. Most of Blake's output in the '90s was released on the equally venerable Shanachie label, including 1999's Be Ready Boys: Appalachia to Abilene. Far Away, Down on a Georgia Farm arrived that same year, followed by Flower from the Fields of Alabama in 2001. Blake teamed up with Ukrainian fiddler/mandolin player Peter Ostroushko for 2002's Meeting on Southern Soil in February of the following year, with the compilation Old Ties arriving later that spring. Norman and Nancy put out Morning Glory Ramblers in 2004 and Back Home in Sulphur Springs in 2006. Norman released Shacktown Road in early 2007, following it with Sleepy Eyed Joe in 2009. That same year saw the release of the Rising Fawn Gathering a reunion of sorts with the Blake's early-'80s group the Rising Fawn String Ensemble that issued three albums for Rounder in the early '80s with James and Rachel Bryan. The new recording juxtaposed the group with Ireland's Boys of the Lough in a collection that showcased Southern folk music as it evolved from Celtic origins.
In 2011, Norman released Green Light on the Southern, a completely solo collection of traditional folk and country standards. He recorded solo again in late 2014. Wood, Wire & Words was his first collection of all-original material since 1974's Fields Of November; it was issued by Plectrafone in January of 2015. ~ Kurt Wolff, Rovi
