Thanks for that info. Makes good sense.
You'll like the bristles. Mine are super active during the day.

I have two of the bristlenose plecos in my 150. They have just about put my nerites and pond snails out of business.
I am curious about what you said about shutting off your CO2 at night. If you have your controller set to turn off CO2 at 6.2 while not just let that take care of things? That is what I was planning to let my Aquacontroller do. What am I missing?
I'll have to seriously look into one of those bristlenoses.
I have two of the bristlenose plecos in my 150. They have just about put my nerites and pond snails out of business.
I have been tinkering with a low light system since around April with limited success. Very slow plant growth although most of the plants look decent, especially the swords and crypts. I bought some LEDs and I am just waiting on my new Sicce needle wheel pump and will be ready to hook up CO2. My Herbie setup has very little water movement in the sump. I have both overflows set to almost completely fill and they run separately to the sump and the water exits under the sump water line in T fittings as to slow down water agitation even more. I'm thinking/hoping to not have a CO2 degassing problem.

I was looking on live aquaria. I have kept peppered cories in the past. They were nice. I think I'm going to go with 7 or 8 of the Swartz's Cory Cat.
Too bad they are not in stock

Been a while, time for an update on this tank. This tank still isn't where I want it to be. But am going to focus on making it successful since I took down the reef tank for a while.
Quick stats.
5 Blue Angelfish
10 Bloodfin Tetras
5 Otos (Approximate)
Few nerite snails and a bunch of small hitchiker snails
Jungle val
Amazon Sword
Bronze Crypt
A little Java Fern
I have been dosing my ferts regularly now. Doing the water changes as per EI says. Plants are looking a lot better. Been more generous with the nitrate fertilzer too. Very little cyano on the plants and driftwood. Still quite a bit on the substrate though.
I do have the plumbing switched over to the Herbie method which is a lot nicer for Co2 off gassing. I did add a koralia with about 400 gph flow so with 500 from my return pump I have 900 total.
As far as the Co2 goes I found that if run about 1.5 bubbles per second it just starts turning the drop checker green. This basically maintains the ph at 6.5. This makes sense according the ph/kh/co2 tables. I have it set up to shut off at night. Then the ph goes up to 7.0. So not too bad of a swing. I also have my reef keeper programmed to cut power to the co2 if ph gets below 6.2. So I think I have my perfectly calm sump working efficiently as far as co2 loss goes. 1.5 bps on a 90 gallon isn't too bad is it?
I'm thinking about adding some fish to up the bioload. I have a credit at live aquaria. Going to add some more otos, nerites, and a school of cories I think. Any suggestions on a what kind and how many corydoras? What about a bristlenose pleco? I am thinking they might help stir up the bottom a little. I also need to look into a few more plants.
|nature boy
I agree. I don't know much about the Herbie other than what I have read the last couple of days, but by using this method instead of the vented Durso and maybe also positioning your overflow exit pipes in your sump under the water level in a manner to prevent as much agitation as possible wouldn't that come close to preventing significant Co2 loss? Someone please correct me if I'm not seeing something.
And then I will also eliminate the reverse durso in my sump and just exit the pipe under the water level. Might also go back to utilizing filter socks then as well.
I will update with the results. Not sure when I will get to this plumbing project.

tank is looking good.
fyi, some of those plants look like they've been grown outside of an aquarium so you'll get some melting and dead stuff... which is probably why you got algae.
i received an order from ap.com as well and am noticing some melt off as the plants adjust.
Makes sense. Doesn't a Herbie take two exit drains as opposed to one for the Durso?
Best of luck getting things situated soon.
|nature boy
Did you seal the sump and overflow?
Technically no
The top of the overflow is mostly sealed.
I have absolutely no surface agitation in the sump, calm as can be. However the air is exiting the reverse durso air hole. It would be pretty hard to reacapture all of this.
I am convinced there is no way to effectively "seal" the sump. This would make it difficult for maintain things and limit other gas exchange. Don't want to sacrifice oxygenation.
So I think the answer is the Herbie method. Create a full syphon and limit how much air is expelled from the system.

Your pump is lifting 500gph? I would want to split the flow too. My RIO 2500 only lifts 300gph because of the height, length and all the right angles in my set up and does fine with the little 3"x12" reactor.
Try cutting back on the lighting period. I was helped out in this by my plants. Wisteria, Myriophyllum and Rotala all were closing up their leaves before the lights went out so I reduced the hours until they closed up just before lights were out, about 8 hours of full light. Maybe try 10 hours total with 4-6 hours with all the bulbs lit.
|nature boy
Well, here is an update on the tank.
After talking with a lot of people and getting some advice on discus, I have decided not to go with discus at this point. Instead I went with 7 of the new blue colored striped angelfish. I will try and post pictures of these tonight or tomorrow. Everyone was telling me that I need to start with adult discus, in order for them to have a chance in a planted tank like this. Didn't want to spend $400 on fish before I had the planted tank aspect under control. So these angelfish will be the centerpiece for a while. Eventually I will try the discus, maybe in a different style tank.
As far as the plants go. Not the best. Having a hard time getting the light, co2, ferts balanced. I had a huge blue green cyano out break that pretty much wiped out my E tenellus. The other plants should be ok. The cyano started subsiding so I didn't do the blackout but probably still should. Might have to replace some plants.
I started out dosing fertilizers on the light side so as not to overdo it. Using the EI method. But tested my nitrates found they were zero, which was a little hard to beleive. So now doing the full recommended amount.
I have been playing with my co2 and finally got my drop checker to turn green. But using about 4 bubbles per second to acheive this. I was running my mag 7 return pump wide open through the co2 reactor and this was doing about 500 gph I figured. Realized this was way too much flow and the co2 wasn't fully dissolving before leaving the reactor. Lots of large bubbles. So now I turned the flow down to maybee half and it is fully being dissolved. Hopefully I can reduce my bubble rate and keep my green drop checker. My water chemistry is about 3 dkh alkalinity and ph is 7.25 with the drop checker green.
If I can't do this I may redo my plumbing from a durso style drain to the herbie method to help prevent off gassing. And then I might also plumb a bypass in the return to keep the flow reduced in the reactor but utilize the full flow of my mag 7 in the the return out lets.
Not sure about light either. I have the 4 by 65 watt power compacts on a 90 gallon. Now I am running 2 bulbs (130 watts) for 12 hours a day and then all four bulbs (260 watts) for six hours in the middle of the day.
So what do the experienced planted tank guys think? Am I balanced with light/co2/ferts? Help a new guy out with these plants. Things are definitely not balanced.
Fish btw are all doing great. They are the easy part. I do the pictures of the angels.
Tank looks great.
I'm interested to know how your co2 is doing with the sump. My 125g is sumped and I will be turning my co2 on today.
We have close to the same setup, planted, sumped, bloodfins, plans to add discus.
|How is the tank doing? Did you have any problems with your Co2/sump setup?

And that's hardly a shot at Ansah nor am I saying he's a bad pick. He is absolutely bullish in strength. He looks like he can be a very good 6T LE in the NFL. But even if he inherits more pass rushing moves, I don't think he'll be an elite rusher off the edge.
Ansah is a lot like Quinton Coples in style of player. In fact Ansah is primarily a 5 tech not the 3-4 OLB that most just assume he is on BYU. I could see a 3-4 team drafting Ansah. What Ansah would bring to the Giants is a fantastic run defender. Pairing up with JPP would go a long way in shutting down the run games on the edges. Ansahs non stop motor and length would also help in defending the screen and short passing attacks. Ansah took a lot of snaps inside this season. When the Giants defense was at its best Justin Tuck was a disruptive force as a pass rusher at Tackle. Ansah would possibly give that back to the giants.
I do agree Ansah isnt an elite edge rushing type and I think that would still be a need. Giants could get creative with that. They could find an elite blitzing LB or an undersized situational end.
Well that's not in contention with anything I said. It's pretty much on par with what I feel his strengths as a better run defender than rusher. If he becomes a consistent double digit sack player in the NFL, I will be surprised. His strength is in the run game with 13 TFLs. That in itself merits it's own respective evaluation. Saying his tape is a clone of JPP is not only unfair, but incredibly erroneous.
I think Ansah could become a great threat as a rusher on the interior. Justin Tuck was 2nd in the NFL in pressures from 2008-2010 and he wasnt an edge rusher either so u dont necessarily have to be that kind of guy to get to the QB.
Ansah has alot of similarities to JPP coming out, and thats why so many people are saying that, becuase its true..
Ansah is much quicker to me than jpp is. But ansah does not have the balance and the bend that Jpp has.

As director of FDA's Center for Tobacco Products (CTP), I am delighted that representatives from many areas within CTP will be participating in the National Conference on Tobacco or Health (NCTOH). NCTOH is one of the oldest and largest meetings on tobacco education and action, bringing together more than 2,500 national, state, territorial and local tobacco control scientists, program managers, communicators and other professionals in the field every three years. The mission of the conference is to improve the reach and effectiveness of tobacco control programs and activities throughout the United States.
This is the first time that CTP has participated in this meeting. The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) which gave the FDA the authority to regulate tobacco products, was actually passed by Congress during the last NCTOH meeting in 2009. When the vote was announced, it drew large cheers from the participants.
FDA's participation in this year's conference comes at a critically important point in our history. Since CTP was established we have achieved success in moving science-based regulation forward with historic advances in public health.
Key accomplishments include:
- enforcing the ban on candy-like characterizing flavors in cigarettes;
- restricting youth access to cigarettes and smokeless tobacco;
- enforcing requirements for larger smokeless tobacco health warnings;
- enforcing prohibition of misleading advertising claims;
- restricting cigarette and smokeless tobacco marketing to youth;
- awarding nearly $43 million in contracts to 37 states and the District of Columbia for conducting inspections of retail establishments. So far they have conducted more than 86,000 inspections to determine whether the establishments are complying with regulatory requirements which, among other things, forbid selling cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products to minors;
- issuing more than 3,500 warning letters and 290 fines to retailers for violating the law.
Sharing what we've learned and accomplished will be an important part of CTP's participation in the NCTOH conference. I will be giving remarks during the opening and closing plenaries as well as presenting during a panel session. Many other CTP staff members will be moderating or presenting during the conference on critical tobacco-related issues including:
- key elements of FDA's regulatory authorities;
- consumer perceptions of dissolvable tobacco products;
- the development of data systems to support tobacco regulation;
- national tobacco education campaigns; and
- strategic partnerships for retail tobacco enforcement.
If you are participating in the meeting, we encourage you to engage with us by attending our sessions and visiting our booth. CTP experts will be looking forward to taking your questions, sharing information and hearing about the activities in your community that are helping to reduce tobacco use and keeping young people from starting to smoke.
Lawrence R. Deyton, M.S.P.H., M.D., is the Director of FDA's Center for Tobacco Products

I think this should probably be either in the Sarlacc Pit or Other Star Wars characters sections rather than Boba's armour.
Anyway that aside, It looks to me more like it's simply an armoured Jedi. Look at it this way, if you fight armoured Mandalorians long enough, not to mention Sith troops and Sith Lords; with blaster bolts flying and sabers buzzing around your head you're probably going to work out pretty quick that your tan coloured pyjamas aren't doing much in regards to protecting you and opt for a nice set armoured over-alls instead.
lol agreed
lol...totally. It's time the Jedi got a little brains.
Hahaha well i know this is a really old thread but if its a mando jedi your looking for i have already sketched one.
i dont know if you were looking for one. but here
Alpha 02 you amaze me
HAHA thanks!
and call me Levi ner vod!
Old thread reviver. Lol. Good drawing. A interesting way of interpreting oneone1111's drawing. I like it. A while back I decided to make my mando a tracker, so he has an awesome brown cloak/robe. But I think i've decided to make it more of a jedi mando now. I've got a custom lightsaber for it too.
A Mando-Jedi? I always thought Mandos fux0red up Jedi powers... Hmm.

Put up a review of the debate that happened the other day.
Get this monkey off my back!
My diary is now here.
Mostly finished packing. I watched a couple of movies on encore I think.
This evening I played a kinda-dumb game with some of my friends. Something to do with chicken soup and teenage souls.
I got my GEGL shirt today!
Went to see "Main on the Moon" tonight. A tear ran down my cheek at the end.
Fun day spent moving all of my computer innards to another case. In between that I got to install some carpeting in the attic, which required moving out my drumsets and all the other stuff that's up there. At least I got to throw the old rug out of the attic window.
So now I have a healthy dose of dust in my lungs that I will be sneezing up over the next few days.
Time to clean up the remnants of 3 computers and decide if i want to do anything this evening...
Haven't been very verbose recently.
So skiing was fun. Got to spend time with a good friend. The drive back was kind of scary at time; Buffalo's lake effect doesn't play.
Christmas has come and gone. My sister got a DVD drive, I got luggage. I bought my dad "Running Linux" which I think is a very funny situation.
The splash screen is in the CVS now. Plus a little bit of menu.c code. More to come today hopefully. Better get that done before the End of the World.

Lower Merion Township (Penn.) might be relatively small, but it's gearing up for a big fight.
The Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) 2009 edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (MUTCD) gives municipalities until January 2018 to replace all overhead and street-name signs that don't meet retroreflectivity standards. The ruling requires the 60,000-resident community to replace all of its street signs, a task bearing a $1.5 million price tag, which leaders say they can't afford.
However, it's more than just finances moving the township to resist — it's also a matter of pride.
The signs date back nearly a century, when the Merion Civic Association replaced a jumble of mismatched wooden street markers with more attractive green and gold iron signs that were later spurned in favor of more durable aluminum. The design became a model used by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. in plans for community projects from coast to coast. According to Public Works Director Don Cannon, the antique signs mean a great deal to residents.
"We believe they're character-defining components of the community, and the unfunded mandate is unreasonable," says Cannon.
Cannon and his colleagues maintain that many of FHWA's reasons for the rules — including increased visibility and ease of navigation — aren't valid for Lower Merion. No traffic collisions have ever been attributed to poor sign placement or visibility. In addition, omnipresent GPS technology and emergency vehicles' reliance on CAD-assisted dispatch means drivers' dependence on physical street name signs has dwindled significantly.
So when FHWA invited comments on the proposed MUTCD changes last year, Lower Merion leaders had plenty to say. They submitted a letter of concern explaining their objections: onerous replacement expense, desire to maintain aesthetic and historic interest, and safety issues. They also pointed out that the new signs' 15-year life expectancy is a fraction of the existing signs' durability, so the township would be forced to waste time and money on unnecessary replacements.
They aren't the only ones raising objections to the mandate, either.
Last year U.S. Rep. Don Manzullo (R-Ill.) expressed concern that the rule was put into place without first coming before Congress for a vote, and noted that it stresses financially strapped local governments by requiring them to take on the associated workload and cost without financial assistance.
While working to get the rule's impact reversed or lessened, leaders are planning ahead.
"The township is responsible to comply with the law, which is why in recent years the larger, reflective signs have been installed to replace broken or damaged historical-replica signs," Cannon explains.
On Nov. 30, 2010, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood weighed in, stating he believes the regulations are coming at a bad time and should probably be re-examined: "There have got to be better ways to improve safety without piling costs onto the American people."

It is apparently a mild LDL sprain on the same leg that he tore his ACL in 2009, but the ACL is just fine. He is not ruled out for Sunday, but he is day to day. His dad says he is planning on playing Sunday.

Jatin P. Shah Chair in Head and Neck Surgery and Oncology
Conditions Treated:
About Me
Dr. Shaha specializes in head and neck surgery, with a particular interest in thyroid and parathyroid surgery. He uses an algorithm of selective thyroid tumor criteria (the size, location, stage and type of cancer, along with the patient's age), to tailor therapy to each individual's circumstances. This can help thyroid cancer patients avoid unnecessary and potentially damaging over-treatment, while still providing the best option for control of their cancer and better quality of life after treatment. Dr. Shaha works very closely with Memorial Sloan Ketterings' endocrinologists to monitor the careful post-treatment hormone balancing necessary for thyroid cancer patients. Many academic hospitals and medical societies worldwide have invited Dr. Shaha to speak on the principles of targeted thyroid surgery and to share his expertise in the treatment of head and neck cancers.
His well-established authority in head and neck oncologic surgery has resulted in honors from the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery and the Society of Head and Neck Surgeons. He has been elected to top leadership positions in the American Head and Neck Society, the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons, the New York Head and Neck Society, the New York Cancer Society, the New York Surgical Society, the Brooklyn Surgical Society, and the American Society for Surgeons of Indian Origin.
Dr. Shaha serves on the boards of the Journal of Surgical Oncology, Head and Neck, the Annals of Surgical Oncology, the Brazilian Journal of Surgery, and the Gulf Journal of Medicine. He has published more than 275 peer-reviewed scientific articles and more than 125 invited articles.
Noted for his commitment and skill in educating physicians, he has chaired several international conferences, and currently serves as the Chairman of the American Head and Neck Society's Advanced Training Council, the society granting academic approval to head and neck surgical programs and trainees. He relishes his involvement in training the next generation of head and neck surgeons, and is the recipient of outstanding teaching awards from Memorial Sloan Kettering and SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn.

What do u guys think is the reason Sheldon Richardson is ranked higher then Kawaan Short by most around the web? I personally think Kawaan Short is every bit as good, and blocks kicks also... Haven't seen a ton of Sheldon, nad was curious why many pick him over Short?
DJ Fluker is my favourite prospect going into this draft. So big, strong, and relentless. Could come in and play RT for 10 years. A lot like Kareem.
I guess people are starting to catch on with my number 1 ranked CB JORDAN POYER.. He just got 1st team all american with Demarcus Milliner.. He beat our Jonathan Banks, Xavier Rhodes, Logan Ryan, and all those guys... POYER's a beast!
1) As silly as it sounds I think this kids name really started being thrown around after his performance against Alabama. He went up against 1 of the great all time college offensive lines and had 14 tackles(9 solo) and 1 sack. People really took notice of him then. I am not saying it is fair, but you beat up Alabama and you get noticed.
2) He is the better pure passrusher and passrushers always get a premium. I actually think Short may be the better all around prospect and is certainly no slouch of a passrusher either. I like my Dts to be stout at the point of attack and Short has that over Sheldon. But, Sheldon has the explosion and gap shooting.
Just my opinion.
I'm loving Walts new Mock for us! 3rder, that has us going like this.. This is playmaker galore! I'll finish it out after his first 3rds..
1. Ez Ansah DE BYU
2. Khaseem Greene LB Rutgers
3. Jordan Hill DT Penn St. Walts 3rder, and now i'll finish it.. I'd love this mock!
4. Blaize Foltz G T.C.U
5. Graham Pocic C/T Illinois
6. Michael Williams TE Alabama
7. Zac Stacy RB Vanderbilt
Only issue I have with Khaseem Greene is what position would he play? I don't think he is big or stout enough to play either Sam or Mike. And I think the giants are set at weakside for the future with Boley and J Will.

이 호스트의 또 다른 숙소후기
This is the first timeI have stayed in an apartment rather than a hotel. This apartment is very good value for money. It is missing a few things like dishwashing liquid and a cloth to wash dishes which would be helpful and necessary for a short term stay. But, the hosts are very easy to communicate with and very welcoming. The apartment is clean, well furnished and quite spacious. Like I said it is good value for money and I would stay again.
All good! Thanks
i stayed here july/August 2014, don`t carry water ask Mr King he will get you a very big bottle cheap, aircon worked very good only need to use one of them, the pillows could be better as they fade away to nothing as you sleep, the internet needs inprovement dropouts were comon but Mr King could fix, good bed and staff, supamarket not far away, cooking things are supplied, but no oven, 4pm checkout was no problem this was great for me 8.20pm flight. Taxi 400 to 500php to termial 1, all in all this place was good enough for me to stay again
Great condo,
Highly recommended,
The owners were very helpful,
I have been visiting manila for over 6 years and have stayed in many condo's and hotels these condo's are the best value for money
You must try them
Thanks guys I am very impressed and will defiantly book again
Nice location near Greenbelt and center of bars in manila
Clean room. Nice firm bed and AC worked well as it wasn't hot
Near lots of restaurants and will prolly stay there if return to Phillipines
Was a great place to stay . The hosts was great to deal with and very aproachable . The area was fine , close to alls generally needed in makati . Heaps of bar girl s nearbye for the single minded!!! The only issue i had was a hard bed to deal with , otherwise a great place to stay within makati for 2 persons. Highly recomended
just back from a long vacation in Asia. Booked this unit last minute due to the hotel i was to stay in was not suitable to my standards. Sent an email while driving around in a taxi and was quickly sent a replied back from owner of my inquiry to the place, was giving address and contact info and was on my way in less then an hour. The unit was very clean and spacious, many amenity were provided (dishes,silverware, bath towels, TV, air-con, fridge). Building is nicely located close to all the night life in the area, but the noise from outside can't be heard from the room. King the host was very helpful, if i had any question he was very prompt in finding out the answer or personally directing me to a location. I certainly would seek residence in this condo-tel when in the area of Makati again.
Had a very good stay . The appartment was very clean and had everything a person needs. Due to an emergency i had to leave early and could not finish my stay. The owner was so nice to credit me me my 2 remaining nights for another times stay. Thats what i call good customer service ! Very recommended !!!

The first thing that beat the Giants was the coaching staff. They didn't have this team ready to play 60 minutes of ball, period. Secondly, Kildrive is still the OC because he's tommys butt boy, simple. If he was anywhere near a decent OC he'd have had a HC job by now( 2 SB rings)!. This team is in serious trouble, they caught the pack with 1/2 their D on the sidelines and beat them. We need players on the O line, LB's and A real DT not an overpriced 3-4 DE behaving like a 4-3 DT. But I digress. You remember the Wildcat? Well after the coaches in the NFL figure out a solid game plan for Bob! he'll become a QB instead of a sideshow geek. Yes he has talent but don't go nutz. 6 teams beat the skins including the Giants! We had them in our pocket until they went to sleep during half time. YOU MUST PLAY 60 MINUTES, THEY DIDN'T. Oh another thing, The refs suc***. Go Giants. I'm hating snyder today!
And yeah, team sport, but the QB will always be the most important part of the team.
Not the actual Man, Myth, Legend....Just a Giant fan since birth, I come in peace
From what the rest of the sane people in the world saw was RG3 is the most talented QB in the NFC east right now.

Warsaw's Old Town
The Old Town, along with the adjacent New Town, is one of the most beautiful and most often visited sites in Warsaw. The buildings were originally buift in the 17th and 18th centuries. Burned down during World War II, the Old Town was meticulously reconstructed after the war. Its numerous colorful tenements with red sloping roofs and cha¬racteristic street lamps combine to create a picturesque panorama, with strong accents provided by the huge roof of the local cathedral and the Jesuit church tower.
Royal Castle
Built in the 14th century in Gothic style by the Mazovian princes, the castle was converted many times during the Renaissance and Baroque
periods. In the 18th century, it acquired its final Baroque-Classicist style, in which it was rebuilt from World War II destruction. The castle was the seat of the authorities of the First Republic of Poland from 1596 to 1795. It was the royal residence and also the seat of the lower and upper houses of parliament-Sejm and Senate. It was here that the Four-Year Sejm passed the Constiturion of May 3rd, 1791, and on Jan. 25, 1831 dethroned Russian Czar Nidlolas I as king of Poland. In 1926-1939 the castle was the headquarters of the president of the Second Republic of Poland, Ignacy Moscicki. Burned down during World War II, it was rebuilt in 1974.

We had wonderful days in this beautiful apartment in Podwale Street in the heart of Warsaw!
The apartment is cozy, very comfortable and is in a beautiful backyard. We can only recommend it!
todo bien, apartamento muy centrico y muy limpio. Coinciden las fotos con el apartamento, el unico problema es la falta de ascensor pero no fue un gran problema. El personal nos ayudo en todo lo que pudo.
Leiligheta bar preg av att den var slitt og det var ikke gjort godt nok rent.
Det kunne godt vært en kaffetrakter der og en stekepanne. Etter vårt syn på den, så var den veldig lite utstyrt for å bo i over flere dager.
I innsjekkingen var de veldig hjelpsomme.
Die Wohnung ist nicht in der Ul. Podwale, sondern in der Ul. Kapitulna!
Die Wohnung ist sehr schön und sauber, riecht aber etwas muffig. Die Leintücher auf den Betten sind sehr sehr klein und bedecken gerade eben die Schlaffläche. Bei der Art von Betten wären Spannbetttücher vorteilhaft.
Die Wohnung ist sehr sparsam mit Geschirr bestückt. Es gibt keine "Kanne" oder dergleichen, in der ein Tee aufgebrüht werden kann . . .
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
great apartment lived up to expectations. The area is nice although a bit far from the center, but public transport makes it easy.
I recommend!
Lovely apartment and great location!
7 ladies, 60 yrs +, lived in the apartment for one week. We are very satisfied with its location and the nearness to the bakery shop and the butcher close to our entrance.They supplied us with good products for our breakfast.
It was a little more than 10 minutes walk to the Old Town.
The apartment is well equipped, but we missed an extra towel per person when we stayed as long as one week. The service of your office in Miodowa street was very good with helpful personell assisting us.
Very good apartment in secured building. Next to sluzew metro station. you don't need to rent a car. You can buy almost everything in small markets around. we enjoyed very much our vacation in warsaw. But you have to check the arrival time. The company is placed near the old town, far from the apartment and they will give you the key there as written (1600). Also, you have to bring everything needed to operate the washing machine and dishwasher. The dishwasher is leaking. The temperature is warm in september. I guess its hot there during summer. The kitchen is almost empty, you have to bring everything.
Everything was perfect! The appartment is comfortable and clean and it has a great view. The owners are really kind. I recommend it for your stay in Warsaw

I have a few wishes for the remaining of the season, but there is one possibility that would really make me happy if it were to happen. A long shot, but it is possible.
I would really love to see the Saints beat the Dirty Birds tonight. It would be the 2nd loss for the Falcons...both at the hands of NO. Then, both teams win out...until they meet in the playoffs in the 2nd round...and the Saints win again knocking the Falcons out of the playoffs with a 14-3 record, with all the losses coming at the hands of the Saints.

SAN BERNARDINO - New taxes might be the only way for the city to pay for more than a bare-bones budget and eventually move away from the brink, city officials say, but they're not planning to ask residents to reach into their pockets anytime soon.
The budget plan the City Council approved in November doesn't rely on any new revenues for Fiscal Year 2012-13, but it recommends four possible taxes and fees to help the city gather a projected $5.1 million in future years.
At least some of that eventually will be necessary if the city is going to avoid going back into bankruptcy, according to Mayor Pat Morris.
"We need to build a new base for our economy. That's going to take, no doubt, some revenue enhancements," Morris said. "What they will amount to is unknown."
Morris is one of the most forceful advocates for eventual revenue increases on a City Council that's deeply skeptical of the idea, but even he doesn't expect people to be convinced San Bernardino deserves more of citizens' money at this point.
"We have to first of all establish a level of trust in the community that we are good stewards of the public's funds," he said. "We have not done well in that regard. We have not been disciplined, and that has been the long-term problem that I have spoke about during my administration."
First on the agenda, he said, is implementing cuts that were approved by the city but still haven't been made for various reasons.
The California Public Employees' Retirement System is arguing the city shouldn't qualify for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection, partly because its budget plan is balanced only by deferring nearly $34million in payments, compared with about $26million in cuts.
That money will be repaid through a $5million-per-year "surplus" built into the budget, known as the pendency plan, said Jim Morris, the mayor's son and chief of staff.
But any future economic downturn or surprise in the next 10 years - which Jim Morris says is almost inevitable - would require additional revenues if the city is to avoid becoming insolvent again.
"We're balanced, but to move forward we need (new revenue)," he said. "Without that, we're balanced on the edge on the cliff. We step backwards one step, and we fall off the cliff."
And the next step in the budget process - a plan of adjustment that must be approved by the bankruptcy judge and most of the city's creditors - might not be approved if revenues aren't included, he added.
Most potential revenue increases would require the City Council to put a proposal on the ballot for residents to vote on.
Four possibilities, which city officials predict would raise about $15 million if they all were passed, are mentioned in the pendency plan but not elaborated on:
Even frequent Morris ally Fred Shorett, who unlike the mayor is a registered Republican, said he opposed any new taxes.
"I'm not one to raise taxes, but I am one to look at letting the voters decide themselves," Shorett said. "If the constituents tell me not to put something on the ballot, I'll listen to that, but I could be convinced that putting it up to the voters might be the right thing to do."
While he sees California overall as overtaxed, Shorett said the economy has so knocked the taxes collected that along with outsourcing some departments the city might need some new revenue.
The city's major revenue sources declined by $11.7million from 2007-08 to 2011-12, the city reported in June.

Ironically it was not them who fired the first shots, but the people of money a bit up the pay scale. The people who were getting hit the hardest with taxes.
At that, only 3% of the population at the time, ever picked up arms..

Their is strong undertones of unhappiness with Nappies "illegal" mass passing of his executive orders, by-passing Congress.
Is history doomed to repeat itself? I really really pray not.
Just have a feeling, it will not be the people on the receiving end of Santa's gifts. But those giving the giving, are the ones I am worried about..

Boston City Councilor David Scondras
This article was originally published in the October 16, 1984 issue of the Boston Phoenix.
On September 10, Boston City Councilor David Scondras wrote a letter to the city's group-health-insurance director. "We have a non-discrimination policy in this city which includes people who are gay and lesbian," wrote the city's first openly gay city councilor. "Given this reality, I would like my partner and legal companion, Robert Krebs, to be given coverage as he is in my immediate family and my spouse." Three weeks later, the official in question gave his reply. Blue Cross-Blue Shield, he wrote, "stipulates that in order to be eligible for family coverage" an employee must be married.
In the days between Scondras's original letter and the city's response, a political storm of sorts broke out. Although the councilor describes his letter as "a private inquiry to explore reaction," the contents were leaked to the Boston Herald and picked up by the rest of the news media. At that point, Scondras says he "hit the roof." So did Boston City Council President Joseph Tierney. In June, Tierney had voted for the city's human-rights ordinance (which covers discrimination based on sexual preference), but he had no idea the legislation might apply to this issue. He immediately proposed amending the ordinance to "prohibit unmarried couples of the same or opposite sex from receiving family-plan medical insurance coverage."
This was the first time extending insurance coverage to unmarried heterosexual and gay couples had become a subject of debate in Boston. But the issue itself is nothing new. In November of 1982, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted eight to three to mandate that "domestic partners" of city employees be treated the same as spouses of married workers regarding bereavement leave and health insurance. (The proposal was subsequently vetoed by Mayor Dianne Feinstein.) This summer, the Berkley, California, Unified School District enacted a similar proposal to cover the 1900 employees in its system; the Berkley City Council followed suit, approving domestic partner coverage "in principle," but setting a 1986 target date for implementation. The Village Voice, a New York City weekly, has offered domestic partners of heterosexual and gay employees the same benefits of married employees since 1982. Boston's South End Press, the leftist publishing collective, and Gay Community News, a weekly newspaper, have similar policies. And some local unions are beginning to make the issue a subject of collective-bargaining demands.
The 1980 census lists some 1,763,980 unmarried cohabiting heterosexual couples in the US. Because the Census Bureau does not ask questions about sexual preference, no one knows how many gay couples live together, but the numbers are probably as large, if not larger. As these alternative domestic arrangements have become more common, more accepted—and often long-term—such couples have begun to question the fairness of allocating benefits based on the traditional unit of husband and wife.
Gay activists claim it is an issue of discrimination—no state, after all, permits homosexual marriage. And this was the rationale motivating Scondras when he suggested to the city's insurance director that the Human Rights Ordinance gave him the same benefit rights as a married person. Scondras notes that the city of Boston pays $1151 towards health insurance for unmarried employees, but $2759 for those under the family plan. "Why should the person who works next to me, doing the same job and getting the same salary, receive $1600 more in benefits than I do?" he asks.

Have started rebuilding the lang stock we lost in a fire.Its a bigger task than I first thought.
I have managed to slip out a few TBHs and used some overwintering nucs to start them.They seem to be happy with the change.They were small nucs.
I caught a swarm,the biggest I have ever seen.Balled up it was several times larger than my big boof head,it was therefore BIG.I put this in a TBH and was amazed.
After four days they had drawn four combs and starting on a couple more.After two weeks they are up to ten drawn and working on some more.
One of the best sights in my beekeeping must be a fresh drawn tbar with couple day old larvae.The wax is so clean and the grubs look so white.It looks so right.
The couple of boxes I have made are based around a deep lang frame and about 1200mm long(I have spent years converting your measurements,now you can have a turn )They have straight sides
Any thoughts coming out of your honey season on your TBH dimensions ,Why you went for that size,what you would change and why.
I have an inexhaustable supply of pine(75mm x 25mm )so I can be flexible in my next lot of boxes.I am only paying for the screws.(42mm )
Thank you

Archdiocese of Chicago
The Office for Immigrant Affairs & Immigration Education was created by the Archdiocese of Chicago in July 2009 to combine the efforts of education and advocacy for comprehensive, compassionate immigration reform with our new Immigrant-to-Immigrant Ministry (e.g., Pastoral Migratoria).
Pope Francis, on the solemnity of the Assumption of Mary, stated that "Hope is the virtue of those who, experiencing conflict—the struggle between life and death, good and evil—believe in the resurrection of Christ, in the victory of love."1 We as Catholic are not only people of faith but people of hope. We hope in events that are beyond our sight or comprehension. Every Easter we hope for the resurrection, in our daily lives we hope that we are being guided by a loving God of life. It is something that sustains us and that gives us the strength to continue on the journey to build the Kingdom of God.
At the Office for Immigrant Affairs, we have been praying and reflecting on hope, especially as we await movement on a House immigration bill. We see that even though there may be challenges, God will be accompanying us in the pursuit of justice. As a way to remember this and show people who might be in despair that there is hope for immigration reform, we will be hosting a major pilgrimage on October 19. It will start at 9:00 AM with a prayer service held at Holy Name Cathedral (730 N State St, Chicago). We will process to Federal Plaza in silence to show our solidarity for immigrant families who are suffering because of deported loved ones, and to pray for immigration reform. We will break silence at Federal Plaza and continue to Old St. Mary's (1500 S Michigan Ave). On Friday, as a prelude to the main pilgrimage, two groups of 11 priests, religious sisters and brothers, lay leaders and seminarians will start walking from Representatives Roskam and Lipinski's districts. They will be representing the 11 million undocumented immigrants awaiting immigration reform.
We are glad to be joined by Most Rev. John R. Manz, Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago, Mark C. Curran, Jr., Sheriff of Lake County, Sr. JoAnn Persch, Rev. Gary M. Graf, Rev. Lawrence R. Dowling and Rev. Marco A. Mercado, who will speak at different points during the morning.
There have also been bright signs of hope within the Archdiocese. Throughout the last two months, 220 parishes have committed themselves to participating in our "40 Days plus of Prayer, Fasting and Action for Congress until the Vote" campaign. We were also blessed with a moving musical performance from the City Lights Orchestra at our annual event "A Concert for the Journey" held on September 30. This has shown us that people are wishing to stand on the side of the immigrant community, seeing them as brothers and sisters.
As we continue along the journey for immigration reform, we pray that people recognize the movements of change towards justice for immigrants. We also pray that we may stand in further solidarity with our immigrant sisters and brothers, reflecting on the opening lines of Gaudium Et Spes: "The joys and the hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of the men of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the griefs and anxieties of the followers of Christ."2

PR-B School Board to meet Aug. 13
The Pine River-Backus School Board will hold a special public meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 13, to discuss options for this year's operating levy.
Under the 2013 Omnibus Tax Bill, the Pine River-Backus School Board was granted the legal authority to increase its operating levy from $1.02 per student up to as much as $300 per pupil unit without voter approval.
PR-B Business Manager Jolene Bengtson, school board member Chris Cunningham and school board chair Sandy Poferl attended a training meeting July 23 in Bemidji to learn more about these changes.
Bengtson also received a report estimating the cost of a full increase in the operating levy. The report has been given to the school board, and information from the report will be presented at the Aug. 13 meeting.
Currently, PR-B has approximately 1,000 pupil units. According to the report, if the board approves increasing the levy to the full $300 per pupil unit, the school could raise an additional $303,080 in revenue.
Of that increase, 43 percent would be in state aid, while 57 percent would come from property taxes.
For a typical $150,000 market value property, yearly property taxes would increase by $47. For a $200,000 market value property, that amount would be $62 per year.
