Reviews for this host's other properties
We spent a nice time in your apartment. It was really pleasant.
You have a nice town and life, as usual .
Best regards, Olivier
Everything was great. Nice Appartement and a great and helpful landlord. Tranks very much.
A good sized apartment in a fantastic location, right on Hyde Park This was an ideal location for getting around the city's many tourist sites; it was also well placed for Central Station trains. The apartment was comfortable and was equipped with everything we needed for our stay.
The apartment is very good situated nearby central station. We could easyly get to all places we wanted to visit. Everything we needed was there. But it was not very comfortable to get the key at a different place far away, where the lady couldn´t tell us the way to the apartment. It is only possible by going by taxi. Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay very much.
Beautiful apartment, 2 bedrooms, spacious living room. Good equipment appliances. Swimming pool, gym: real benefits. Apartment located in Sydney as close to the Central Station. It is located in an area where quality of life is quiet and pleasant. Warning, the district lacks some shops and we must take precautions before returning.
Bel appartement, 2 belles chambres, séjour spacieux. Bon équipement en électroménager. Piscine, Tennis, salle de sport : de réels avantages. Appartement bien situé dans Sydney car proche de la gare centrale. Il est localisé dans un quartier de qualité où la vie est calme et très agréable. Attention, le quartier manque un peu de commerces de proximité et il faut donc prendre ses précautions avant de rentrer.
The location of the apartment is super small, centrally located and everything within easy reach. The only thing we were not so great was the view out the window. (Front side of the house) The kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom with washing machine and dryer great. We would book this studio any time.
Die Lage der kleinen Wohnung ist super, zentral und alles schnell erreichbar.
Das einzige was wir nicht so toll fanden, war die Sicht aus dem Fenster.
(Fassade vom Nebenhaus)
Die Küche ist gut eingerichtet und das Bad mit Waschmaschiene und Trockner super.
Wir würden dieses Studio jederzeit wieder buchen.
The apartment has a great location and very good size and well distributed. However, should the three beds thicker mattresses. We were there with five adults, which was for three in the small room very cramped. One should add to the description that it is for 2 adults and up to 3 children. With the key service and has all super geklappt.Vielen thanks.
Das Apartment hat eine Top-Lage und ist sehr schön groß und gut aufgeteilt. Allerdings dürften die drei Betten dickere Matratzen haben. Wir waren dort mit fünf Erwachsenen, das war für die drei im kleinen Zimmer schon sehr beengt. Man sollte zur Beschreibung hinzufügen, dass es für 2 Erwachsene und bis 3 Kinder gilt. Mit dem Schlüssel und Service hat alles super geklappt.Vielen Dank dafür.
Great location, would stay again
Carpet needs to be deodorized as smells when windows are closed but soon disappears after opening windows . New pillows would be welcome
Excellent location - this is where you want to be for your short stay in Sydney. The apartment had everything you needed for a self catering stay. The apartment block was quiet, clean and comfortable.
We had a really good stay in the Boundless Den. Any problems (light bulbs, door handle) sorted out straight away.
A bit noisy from next door being renovated, lots of banging and drilling, but as we were out most of the day it was ok.
All in all a stress free stay. Thank you.

What can the chick-a-dee call teach us about communication and language?
Todd Freeberg, Jeffrey Lucas, Indrikis Krams
Chick-a-dee calls across parids share a number of acoustic features, each of which can be seen as somewhat analogous to aspects of human language. First, calls are composed of distinct note types. These note types have been categorized into acoustically distinct forms that can be distinguished by researchers with high reliability. In a 2012 study, two of us (Freeberg and Lucas) described six note types—A, E, B, C, Dh, and D notes—in the calls of Carolina chickadees from an eastern Tennessee population (see Figure 3). These note categories do not correspond to human musical notation; they are arbitrary labels. Christopher Sturdy and his colleagues at the University of Alberta have described a similar set of notes in the calls of Carolina chickadees and other chickadee species.
A, E and B notes are whistled and often show considerable frequency modulation. The C note is a noisy note type that generally increases in frequency over the course of the note. The D note, another noisy note type, has minimal frequency modulation. It seems to be a complex combination of two tones, or fundamental frequencies, and their harmonics, tones whose frequency is an integer multiple of the fundamental—along with other tones resulting from these tones' interaction. (The songbird syrinx, or vocal organ, vibrates in two locations, one in each bronchus. Thus it can create two different tones simultaneously.) The final note type we described, the Dh or hybrid D note, is rare in this population and appears to be an A or B note that transitions without a break in sound into a concluding D note.
Each note type normally occupies a specific part of the call. The typical chick-a-dee call in this population has an average of two introductory notes (some combination of A, E or B notes), roughly one C note, and three concluding D notes. Thus, the chick-a-dee call is made up of note types with distinct sounds, similar to the way each human language is made up of phonemes, or distinct sounds. (For example, the p and b sounds in English are distinct phonemes produced by the lips, called labial stop consonants; the difference between the two is that the b is voiced, or articulated by vibration of the vocal cords, and the p is not.)
Second, chick-a-dee calls are produced according to rules of note ordering. Roughly 99 percent of a sample of over 5,000 chick-a-dee calls followed the A– E–B–C–Dh–D ordering rule. Any note type can be repeated or left out of the sequence. So the chick-a-dee call has constraints on how the different sounds that make it up are combined to form calls, a phenomenon perhaps analogous to human-language constraints that govern how different phonemes are combined to form words.
A third commonality among chick-a-dee calls is that the call system is open-ended. The more chick-a-dee calls we record, the more calls with different note-type compositions are revealed. This variation is possible because notes can be repeated in calls, within the constraints of the note ordering rules. We know this from analysis, based on information theory (the study of the quantification of information, begun in the 1940s), of calls recorded from the Tennessee population we have studied. The phenomenon is also supported by within-individual analysis of chick-a-dee call note types derived from large sets of calls of known individuals recorded over time. This open-ended quality is one of the major differences between the chick-a-dee call and the finite call and song repertoires of most songbird species. Open-endedness is one of the defining features of human languages.
A final common characteristic among chick-a-dee calls is that they contain a large amount of information. In information theory, this term refers to the amount of uncertainty in a signaling system. When a signaler produces a signal, the information in that signal reduces the overall uncertainty to the receiver about the context of the signal—in other words, the receiver knows more about the signaler or the signaler's likely behavior than it did before the signal was produced. Signaling systems with a large amount of information therefore can conceivably transmit a wide variety of distinct messages. The greater information content in chick-a-dee calls stems from the enormous diversity in their note-type composition. A key assumption of the concept of information as it is typically used by parid researchers (and other bioacoustics researchers) is that diversity of note composition relates to distinct messages in signals. Evidence from different labs and from different chickadee species indicates that the variation in chick-a-dee call structure documented via information-based analyses does indeed correspond to functional variation. Certain note-composition variants in these calls seem to be messages, often to flockmates, about the social and physical environment or the behavioral tendencies of the signaler.

Erin Mills Hired as Director of Women's Basketball Operations
July 2, 2014
CINCINNATI - Women's Basketball head coach Jamelle Elliott has announced the hiring of Erin Mills as the director of women's basketball operations. Mills begins her tenure at UC after spending five seasons at the United States Military Academy at West Point as an assistant women's basketball coach and associate recruiting coordinator.
In addition to coaching the guards at Army, Mills also handled responsibilities in recruiting, budget management, travel coordination and scheduling. Additionally, Mills focused efforts in compliance and served as the liaison for the women's basketball program with both academics and the equipment room.
Following a Patriot League Tournament Championship, the Black Knights reached the NCAA tournament for just the second time as a Division I program in 2013-14, earning the 13th seed. Under Mills tutelage, guard Kelsey Minato was named 2014 Patriot League Player of the Year and Patriot League Tournament MVP.
The Black Knights' long-range shooters had the most successful season in school history under Mills' watch in 2013-14, draining a record 212 three-pointers and shooting 37.2 percent.
The Black Knight backcourt saw similar success the year prior, as a pair of guards brought home first-team All-Patriot League honors during the 2012-13 regular-season championship campaign. It marked the first time in program history Army earned multiple first-team nods.
Senior Anna Simmers was a unanimous selection while Minato earned a spot on the five-person squad while also making conference history by being tabbed both the Player and Rookie of the Year.
Mills was also instrumental in co-founding an Assistant Coaches Council at Army, designed to improve the morale, function and work environment for all assistant coaches and support staff at Army. The group focused on formulating ides to enhance the professional development of all members.
Prior to her time at West Point, Mills spent two years as the top assistant at Bloomfield College in Bloomfield, New Jersey, where in addition to player development Mills cultivated recruiting efforts, served as scouting coordinator, oversaw film exchange, served as conditioning coordinator. She was also a high school history teacher in the Pascack school system, along with serving as the head coach of the Pascack softball team.
Mills first stint in college coaching came at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pennsylvania for the 2006-07 season. In addition to a multitude of duties, Mills fulfilled the title of recruiting coordinator, NCAA compliance coordinator and assisted with all aspects of team travel.
Mills' New Jersey roots run deep as she spent her undergraduate and graduate years at Fairleigh Dickinson in Teaneck, New Jersey A four-year letterwinner on the hardwood for the Knights, Mills was the designated captain for the 2004-05 season during which time she led the Knights in assists. She also played two seasons at center fielder for the Knights' softball team.
Mills graduated in 2005 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history and earned a Master of Arts in education for Certified Teachers one year later. A standout inside the classroom, Mills was a Northeast Conference Scholar-Athlete in all eight semesters of her playing career. She also made the dean's list and graduated magna cum laude.

Sisters work well together
If you live in the area, it is quite possible that you have visited at least one of the Dairy Queens in Pine River, Pequot Lakes or Nisswa.
What you may not know is that all three are owned by the same family. Sisters Lisa Kaneski and Kathy Martin together own and run these DQs, a heritage passed on to them by their parents.
Their parents, Jerome and Phyllis Taylor, bought the Pine River DQ in 1971, and the Taylor family moved to the area. Lisa was 1, and Kathy hadn't been born yet. Once they were a little older, Lisa and Kathy soon became a part of the business.
Lisa started working at the Pine River DQ as a seventh-grader. Soon there was another place for the girls to work when their parents purchased the second store in Nisswa in the late 1980s.
Both sisters worked in the stores throughout high school. When they went off to college at St. Cloud State University, Kathy came home on the weekends to work while Lisa waitressed in St. Cloud.
Lisa did not immediately return to the DQ business after her college graduation. She graduated from St. Cloud State with a degree in business, and she worked for Hormel Foods for 13 years. During this time she lived in various locations around the country and married her husband, Sean, a Brainerd native.
Meanwhile, Kathy graduated with a degree in mass communications-advertising and got a job with the corporate office of Dairy Queen for five years. Her experience with the local DQs paid off as she traveled around the country opening new stores and training staff.
Kathy met her husband, Phil, who was from the area, and she moved back in 2002 and became the manager at the Pine River Dairy Queen.
Eventually, she ended up essentially running the Pine River and Nisswa DQs. After a few years, their father, Jerome, was looking to shift into retirement.
Around that same time, Lisa and her family were getting overwhelmed with the travel and busyness of life.
"We were looking to reconfigure our life a little bit," Lisa said.
"Kathy was at that point, looking to buy him out, but it is a lot to have two Dairy Queens. At that point I'm like, 'Would you want a business partner, Kathy?'" Lisa said.
So, in 2007, Lisa and Kathy took over the Pine River and Nisswa Dairy Queens.
The transition to living and working in the lakes area has been enjoyable for Lisa. Both sisters enjoy the opportunity for outdoor activities in the area. Kathy frequents the Paul Bunyan Trail with her family while Lisa and her family particularly enjoy the lakes. While out and about they often see their customers.
"I love the fact that I know 75 percent of the customers that come in our stores, and I love the fact that I can go out in the community and see those same people," Kathy said.
"Our kids go to school and see our customers every day, and it's a great way to live," Lisa added.
Lisa and Sean have two children, Anja and Cole, both 11. Kathy and Phil have four children: Abi, 8; Jack, 6; Luke, 3; and Will, 2.
The Pequot Lakes DQ, which opened in 2010, has been the sisters' new venture together.
"Pequot had always been an interest for my dad. He looked at building a Dairy Queen here several times," Lisa said.
They explained that Jerome could not find a good, available location for a DQ. However, Kathy and Lisa stumbled across a possible spot.
"My husband had made a connection with the owners of the Oasis, and in the process of talking with them this opportunity came along," Lisa said.
Although all three stores are similar, the sisters explained that there are definite differences between each DQ.
"Each store has its own personality and almost its own customer base," Kathy said.
"It's funny how the Pine River store can be dead on a certain time of the day and Pequot Lakes can be turning upside down, crazy busy at that exact same time of day," she added.
Currently, Kathy runs the Pine River and Nisswa stores while Lisa runs the Pequot Lakes DQ and does bookkeeping for the businesses.
Lisa described the environment at their DQs.
"It's fun, it's fast-paced and people are usually in a pretty good mood when they come to Dairy Queen, and that's fun," she said.

Intercostal retractions occur when the muscles between the ribs pull inward. The movement is most often a sign that the person has a breathing problem.
Intercostal retractions are a medical emergency.
Retractions of the chest muscles
The wall of your chest is flexible. This helps you breathe normally. Stiff tissue called cartilage attaches your ribs to the breast bone (sternum).
The intercostal muscles are the muscles between the ribs. During breathing, these muscles normally tighten and pull the rib cage up. Your chest expands and the lungs fill with air.
Intercostal retractions are due to reduced air pressure inside your chest. This can happen if the upper airway (trachea) or small airways of the lungs (bronchioles) become partially blocked. As a result, the intercostal muscles are sucked inward, between the ribs, when you breathe. This is a sign of airway obstruction. Any diseases or condition that causes a blockage in the airway will cause intercostal retractions.
Seek medical attention right away if intercostal retractions occur. This can be a sign of airway blockage obstruction, which can quickly become life threatening.
Also seek medical care if the skin, lips, or nailbeds turn blue, or if the person becomes
In emergency situations, the health care team will first take steps to help you breathe. You may receive oxygen, medicines to reduce swelling, and other treatments.
When you can breathe better, the doctor or nurse will examine you and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, such as:

Well, red does look VERY nice with cork! :-) (Then again, I think everything looks very nice with cork.)ReplyDelete
And good luck with those cabinets. We can't paint ours even if we wanted to, because they've got some kind of laminate surface. Just glad they are white. Totally get the kids/animals/dirt thing you got going on though.
Those perky kids over at Young House Love are currently painting their kitchen cabinets. I'm too old and curmudgeonly to ever be perky (OK, I wasn't perky even when I was younger) and so can find perkiness just a teensy bit annoying, but they've got lots of great info on how to do it.
Tell Jackdaddy it will be safe to come home. The cork is affordable (mostly) and easy :-)

I love RED table-stuff. It looks so dammm festive !! You go cork, girl. And just close your eyes and paint those cabinets. Dream while you are at it.ReplyDelete

We are two old people, an old dog, a brand new home and we have dust and dirt everywhere every day. I just un-dusted a bunch of furniture this afternoon. My advise? Buy stock in the Plege company and get rich.ReplyDelete
Cork floors and green/doored cabinets will look even more divine than ever.
Rita - ALL because of you I have spent every free moment today flipping between your blog (reading Cane's cork page and obsessively looking at your floors) and Young House Love (am now totally horrified at both how I was going to paint my kitchen cabinets and how much I now have to do to do them properly). ARG! BUT, I feel that excitement that only comes from a REDO!!!!ReplyDelete
Ms Mudd - We are RED girls, aren't we?
MMQC - You're lying. Your home is spotless. Remember, I know you in real life. HA. Yes, that olive green against the cork is going to be divine.

Kingsport standoff ends in shooting
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - UPDATE 12:50 p.m.: Jeffrey Chase Caldwell is listed as being in serious condition at Holston Valley Hospital.
We'll have more details for you online and tonight on News 5 WCYB.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is looking into the shooting of a man by a Kingsport police officer.
It happened Tuesday morning at 1:30 a.m. as officers received a call that a possibly wanted person was at a home in the 1300 block of Watauga Street.
Police tell News 5 officers arrived and found the man, identified as Jeffrey Chase Caldwell, who pulled a weapon and began a long standoff. He told officers he 'would not go back to jail'. Caldwell was wanted on warrants from Sullivan and Hawkins Counties on charges relating to a theft on Watauga Street.
For the next two-and-a-half hours, police say Caldwell made threats to hurt himself and the officers. The department says at 4:30 a.m., the man made what officers considered 'threatening moves' toward them and he was shot.
Caldwell was taken to a Holston Valley Hospital for treatment and is scheduled to undergo surgery.
We're told the home where the incident occurred belongs to the parents of Caldwell's girlfriend, where he was staying while the owners were out of town.
The TBI and the Kingsport Police Department are both investigating what happened, which is common procedure when there is an officer-involved shooting.
News 5 WCYB's Meredith Machen is getting the facts on this story. She'll have more updates online and a live report on News 5 at Noon.
The following is a mugshot of Caldwell from a previous arrest in Sullivan County:

So, I went out to my hives a few minutes ago just to see if they were flying today. On one of my hives I have a medium with a screen on the bottom and it's filled with cedar shavings. I took the outer cover off and a bunch of water ran down the inside of the cover and there is a bit of mold forming under there as well. I stuck my hand in the cedar chips and it is VERY wet. As I dug deeper I could feel a lot of warmth from the bees.
I had some twigs about .25" in each corner of the cedar filled medium to vent it out some - apparently not enough. So I took a couple of pieces of scrap wood an inch thick to prop up the cover even more.
Is that much moisture normal? They are in and out. I didn't see them bringing any pollen, but the maples, etc are blooming. Is this most likely moisture from the nectar or from the bees? It has 2 deeps and lots of bees.

It's never too late...ReplyDelete
- Jacqui6:00 AM
Hi Jill. I missed my sister yesterday, she rocks. I've had the same tire problems many times but thanks to a great "Zin" book on bike maintenace, I can actually deal with bike emergencies. Was supposed to go to Colorodo to get certified as a mechanic, but was too screwed up to go. Went for a ride last night to the grocery store, my first ride with a headlamp. My back blinking light broke, but luckily the headlamp had a red light as well. Spent most of my time on the suburban sidewalks and unexpect curbs (didn't fall though!). Look forward to your next post.ReplyDelete
I would agree with Isle Dance...Never too late Jill. You can make it happen if you so choose. Maybe I'm blowing smoke, but if you really miss your family that much than you should be with them for the holidays.ReplyDelete
That's one of the things that has always kept me here in MN. Not wanting to be far from family especially my parents and especially now that they are both in the autumns of their lives. I just don't want to be that far off.
Hang in there and make the best of your rides, and everything else life in Juneau and in general has to offer.
On a lighter note...Black Friday for me was a quick trip to REI for a new headlamp, balaclava, and thermos:)
Now, I'm patiently waiting for parts to arrive for the new Pugs.
Put talcum powder on your tubes, before putting them in the tire. They'll smell great, they'll never blow again, and your cat won't scramble every time it sees the pump.ReplyDelete
Great way to keep the holiday blues at bay; putting one pedal stroke in front of the other.ReplyDelete
I enjoy reading about your daily adventures. Happy Holidays,
Black Friday was fun! Walmart was Hell on earth. I would have loved to have you there. Even though it is probably the last place you would want to be!ReplyDelete
This post brought tears to my eyes. Ever since we got to have you for a month, it is really hard to have you gone. Especially during holidays. If you don't do your race in Feb. maybe you could think about coming here for a visit :) We would love to have you here to meet our little guy!
Miss you so much and love you!

I almost forgot about catching about 100 feet of air while flying over the train tracks! Who was even driving that day? Thanksgiving is never the same without you...neither is Christmas. We miss you just as much. And if it makes you feel any better. It litterally was only me, mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa for Thanksgiving this year. It was a little sad not to have the rest of the family. Miss you sisterReplyDelete
xoxo Sara
- Julie in Alaska3:19 PM
Nice post. You capture the experience of so many of us far-flung types in AK who have family elsewhere. This is why I am always trying to promote the idea that someone in the family move to my location. After 29 years, no luck. But I keep trying...there's the next generation to work on, now!ReplyDelete
+1 on the talcum powder.ReplyDelete
Also, another trick you can do to avoid twist and pinch blowouts is to pump the tire up the first time to about 10-15 lbs, work the tire around a little (kneed it sideways and against the rim), deflate it, then reinflate up to full pressure. This helps it to settle into the proper position before taking it up to full pressure.

The link at the beginning takes you to to a snippet taken from her interview with People. The writer at the link is picking and choosing her words, then twisting them to be more inflammatory than they really were.
I disagree with Sasha that the US girls are "hit or miss", and I think they have more international experience than she gives them credit for, but the person who swiped her quotes and posted them on the UK site is just a jerk.
I agree.I am begining to think that Racheal return to Colorado is for her skating as much as her studies. Official practices for the ladies don't start for a while yet, and finding sufficient time to train on ice my be difficult in Vancouver. Sure there are rinks in the area, but with dozens of top skaters descending on the area finding quiet ice time can't be easy. At least she showed up for opening ceremonies unlike the asian girls.
Did anyone catch Liz Manley's comments during the Figure Skating Review on Universal Sports this morning? She mentioned that one thing that really helped her in the Olympics was the ability to go home after the Opening Ceremonies and return before the ladies competition. She noted that she had great benefit from "sleeping in her own bed" and "keeping her regular training routine."
So perhaps this will benefit Mirai and Rachael as well.

Bill was surely overjoyed after watching the officiating last night let the Dallas Secondary Maul the Giant receivers all night, not to mention their O line practicing there tackling skills against the D Line.
You don't want to be the Titans this week because Bill is going to have his team Maul them unless someone gives these refs a quick class on contact after 5 yards and holding.
That's it, one game, need to do better against the Bucs.

Car crash victim speaks about accident and recovery
SMYTH COUNTY, Va. - One week ago Friday, two teens were air-lifted to the hospital after a race car fell off the back of a truck colliding with oncoming traffic on Interstate 81.
The victims experienced broken bones and surgeries, with a long road of rehabilitation before things are back to normal.
We sat down with crash survivor 17-year-old Jessica Jones, she says while she doesn't remember much of the crash, she owes her life to a tractor trailer driver that made a split-second decision.
Teddy bears, balloons, and "Get Well Soon" cards, it seems there just can't be enough well wishes for 17-year-old Jessica Jones. That's because one week ago, she was in a frightening accident, "I fractured my hip, six ribs, two bones in my hand, one bone in my wrist, and my nose was almost amputated."
For those worried about her, Jones says she's doing much better. "I just feel lucky. Not really scared," she said.
But this accident is something straight out of a nightmare. A run-away race car traveling south on I-81 fell of the back of a truck, crossed the interstate, and slammed into oncoming traffic. Jones says she only remembers bits and pieces, "The first thing I remember after passing the Chilhowie Exit is a little bit in the wings helicopter."
Her mom, Stephanie, is an emergency first-responder, she wasn't working that night but says she'll never forget how she heard the news every mother dreads, "I had heard the call on the radio there was a bad wreck. Shortly after that the deputy called me and said my daughter had been involved."
It's been a tough week and there's still a lot of healing. "It's amazing that we have her here, it could have been a lot worse," added her mom.
That's because the family credits a split-second decision by the driver of a tractor trailer, swerving to the right to miss the pick-up truck Jones was riding in. "It was a hard decision for him but if he wouldn't have we would have easily died," said the teen.
And her mom is simply grateful, "How do you thank someone for saving your child's life?"
Jones says she's all finished with surgery, she's just waiting to get her stitches out and she's looking forward to things getting back to normal.

Airbus Military's A400M is being readied for service entry, as the first three production versions of this multi-role airlifter are progressing towards planned deliveries this year to the French Air Force and the Turkish Air Force.
The initial A400M for delivery – designated MSN7 in Airbus' aircraft production numbering system – was handed over to Airbus Military's Delivery Centre in late April, with customer acceptance underway for the French Air Force.
MSN8, which is scheduled to follow with its handover to the French Air Force in August, made its first flight in May and is planned to begin Delivery Centre processing in early July.
Airbus Military's third production aircraft – MSN9 – will be the first for the Turkish Air Force and is targeted for delivery in September. This A400M is set to make its maiden flight by the end of June after completing acceptance testing.
The A400M was designed specifically to meet the harmonised needs of European NATO nations, as well as the requirements of international air forces. Powered by four modern turboprop engines that drive state-of-the-art eight-bladed propellers, the A400M is capable of cruising speeds of up to Mach 0.72 and reaching altitudes of up to 37,000 feet.

"Airy and Spacious" Headphones
Boasting the largest AKG drivers in its product range, the AKG K550 headphone is ideal for private listening both at home and on the go. The closed-back design lets you concentrate on your music without disturbing or being disturbed by others. The large ear cups and new headband design ensure an amazingly comfortable fit.
The AKG is versatile, too. The stereo mini plug lets you enjoy the K550s with virtually any portable device, and the 1/4" jack adapter allows you to use the AKG with your hi-fi system, too. A 2D-Axis folding mechanism makes these headphones easy to stow away between listening sessions.
"Expertly Balanced"
England's What Hi-fi? magazine calls the K550 "Airy and spacious in a way that's beyond the majority of closed-back designs." According to the review, "The overall presentation is expertly balanced. The K550s are sweetly communicative, handle tempos in a natural, unforced manner and punch into and out of low-frequency information with precision."
Larger drivers, Richer Sound
The K550's large, reference-class 2" drivers deliver rich, lifelike sound across a frequency range of 12 Hz to 28 kHz, providing the full dynamics and 3-D spatial imaging of a live performance. Their closed-back design ensures that you'll hear your music exactly as its creators intended you to hear it with little ambient sound to distract you.
Headphones By and For the Experts
AKG headphones are designed by acoustical experts and used by experts, too. Since 1947, AKG Acoustics has produced technology for recording studios, touring musicians, radio stations, and TV stations. AKG engineers have accumulated more than 1,500 patents. They invented the condenser microphone, perfected high-quality digital transducers, and developed the Mir space station's sound-processing board.
AKG equipment has toured with artists such as Frank Sinatra, Eric Clapton, Peter Gabriel, Aerosmith, the Rolling Stones and Kanye West, and recorded studio albums with countless others. In 2010, AKG Acoustics received a GRAMMY® award for technological innovations and contributions to the music industry.
Long-wearing Comfort
Music professionals prize AKG headphones for their performance. But after a long day in the studio, many pros will tell you that comfort becomes the paramount concern. AKG K550 reference-class headphones are surprisingly lightweight. They weigh only 10.75 ounces and have large ear cups and a new headband to minimize ear fatigue during even marathon listening sessions..
Compatibility with iPod, iPhone, iPad, and Android Devices
Wherever you take your music, the AKG K550 reference-class headphones can retrieve it. The K550s are compatible with iPod, iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. They come with a 3.5mm to 6.3mm (1/8" to 1/4") jack adapter for connection versatility. Wherever you plug the K550s, their hard gold-plated jack ensures a strong connection for a clear audio signal.
Easy Storage and Portability
The K550 has a unique 2D-Axis folding mechanism for easy storage and portability. Unlike most other full-size headphones, the K550s fold flat to fit into a drawer. They also saving space in a backpack or briefcase when you're on the road.
"Airy and spacious in a way that's beyond the majority of closed-back designs."
"The overall presentation is expertly balanced. The K550s are sweetly communicative, handle tempos in a natural, unforced manner and punch into and out of low-frequency information with precision."
"Should you brave the great outdoors in a pair of K550s, you'll find that movement doesn't alter their sound even slightly, that the cable doesn't transmit any bumps it receives, and that for all their comfort the AKGs don't grip your head as securely as some."
"Indoors, though, they're just a hugely capable pair of closed-back headphones that simply don't sound closed."

We captured a feral hive on Saturday. I created a photo albumn. Let me see if I can use the UBB code to create a link to the pictures.
Good pictures, were you using a generator for your bee vac??
Wow, excellent pictures. I have sooo many questions:
1. How did you manage to find the hive? Did you just happen to notice it in the tree, or did you track them there?
2. Did you find the queen? If so, how? If not, what did you do to replace her?
3. Was there any honey? I assume not, since it is so early in the spring. If there was, how did it taste?
4. How pissed off were they? Did anyone get stung?
5. How long did the whole thing take?
Really great pictures! You guys are good! I guess we can assume that you were able to capture the queen, true? From the pics, it looked like they had some nice brood comb. Any idea on the age of this hive?
Thanks for posting this!
Thanks. It went really well. We had a good time.

quote:
were you using a generator for your bee vac??

Yes, my dad had a small generator. It worked pretty good.

quote:
1. How did you manage to find the hive? Did you just happen to notice it in the tree, or did you track them there?

The man in the photo in short sleeve shirt is Mr. Charles. He is the landowner. He and my dad go to the same church. He told my dad about the hive and said we were welcome to come get it. I think he was fascinated by the BeeVac.

quote:
2. Did you find the queen? If so, how? If not, what did you do to replace her?
I don't know if I got the queen. I am hoping so. This was a pretty big hive and I wasn't able to see the queen. The bees are at my Mom's which is about an hour from where I live.

quote:
3. Was there any honey? I assume not, since it is so early in the spring. If there was, how did it taste?

Yes, you are correct. There was not much honey. Maybe a pint or quart. I took it to my Mom's to strain. I did taste it - it is good honey.

quote:
4. How pissed off were they? Did anyone get stung?

Actually, these were the most gentle bees I have fooled with. I was really surprised. I don't think any of us got stung.

quote:
5. How long did the whole thing take?
It took about 3 hours. We started about 9 and were done by 12. We didn't get in any hurry. It was a nice day to get bees. I guess the temp. was around 75 to 80 on Saturday.

quote:
 Any idea on the age of this hive?

Mr. Charles said he turned a barrel over about a year ago and bees swarmed out. He figures these are the bees that came out of the barrel.
I am going to get some out of a church on Sunday. They only have morning service so I am going after their morning service is over. This one is going to be much harder to get. A friend of mine goes to church there.
Hey Caddy,
Great pictures! When you cut down the tree I would have expected much more damage in the brood nest. I like your BeeVac too - what size (hp) is the motor and how thick is the plexiglass? Thanx
what size (hp) is the motor and how thick is the plexiglass?
It is a 1.5 hp shop vac motor. Really, much more than is needed. The vacumn relief on the back (PVC valve) was completely open during the removal. There was still plenty of vacumn with it open.
The plexiglass is 0.23x inches. A little less than quarter inch. I bought a sheet at Home Depot that was 18 inches wide by 24 inches long. I learned about cutting plexiglass. I first tried to scribe and break it. Then on my second piece that I bought http://www.beesource.com/ubb/smile.gif I used a PVC pipe handsaw to cut it. That worked much better.
When building the Bee Vac I was thinking of maybe getting an inverter to run it from. But, the larger inverters (over 1000 watts) are more expensive. The 1.5 hp would need a larger inverter. If one could use a motor that is 1.0 hp or less, then a smaller inverter could be used. Probably 800 watts or so. These smaller ones cost less - I have seen a few on ebay. The inverter could be run from the truck battery. Would probably need to crank the truck and run it some.
Harbor freight has a 2000 watt inverter for $200 or so. I bought one for this purpose but haven't used it yet.
Very good job, I like your slide presentation. You might think about getting a web page going.
If a job is worth doing - Then do it well
I have two gums in my back yard if you are not busy Saturday...
Nice job. I really need to start taking pictures when I do these kind of jobs. There is a lot of satisfaction in salvaging a colony like that.
Wow! I am so impressed! I wish I could've been there to see the real thing--short of doing it yoruself the best way to learn is to watch, I think. You really did a nice job of wiring the comb into the frames--that's an art that really fascinates me. What can I say? Kudos!
Man, I feel like some kind of superhero or something. http://www.beesource.com/ubb/smile.gif I appreciate all the kind words.
I really appreciate this website. The plans on Beesource are really nice. Those swarm catcher frames make saving the brood much easier. And I wouldn't have had a clue how to build a beevac without those plans.
I am going to measure the cell size when I go back into the hive. I had brought a small piece back to my house, but I think it may be some drone cone.
I also learned that Walmart can save pictures to CD as jpeg files. That is pretty neat. I don't own a digital camera. This lets me spend my extra money on beehives. http://www.beesource.com/ubb/smile.gif

I haven't had an impression that Joannie is a consistent skater over years.
I haven't had an impression that Joannie is a consistent skater over years.
Quote from Julie Berlin about Alissa's skate today and her potential for improvement ... I dunno ... what do you guys think? Wishful thinking?If she does the two spins (better), shes a 65, Berlin said. And without the minus on the triple flip, shes a 66. So, if she can really bring that program to the height of its performance, it would be a 70-pointer.
Alright so with this whole inflated scoring thing, you can't compare scores of today with those of 3 and 4 years ago (in the case of mao and sasha). The scores have in general been getting higher each year under the new system. Take Alissa, in 2005 she delivered a short program at SC much like her one today, possibly even better, and received a 58. 54 - 6 points lower than her SP score today with no real rhyme or reason. There is, however, something to be said about maturity, though technically Mao's nocturne SP was superior to Joannie's, at 16 she was still a bit junior-ish in her presentation. Joannie has been skating much longer than Mao had at 16 (she's 7 years older...) and her skating has benefitted from this longevity.
Also, I think Joannie is competition for Yu Na, and definitely for Mao and Miki. The pressure doesn't seem to get to Miki much, and Mao normally puts up good long programs though she tends to make silly mistakes in the short, but pressure DOES seem to affect Yu Na. She's good enough to medal with mistakes, but at 2007 worlds Kimmie didn't do great after following Mao's amazing performance in her home country, Carolina absolutely bombed after Yu Na was amazing at worlds last year, and Alissa can't even seem to take the pressure of being at worlds considering she always performs way better at all her other competitions of the season. The Olympics will be intense, and we can't underestimate the girls who can deal with the pressure, Joannie, Rachael, Ashley.
Any predictions for tomorrow's FS results?
Caroline Zhang has amazing extension too but I wouldn't put her Spirals on the same level as Sasha's at all. I don't feel like you are giving Sasha enough credit. Nobody in the World can match her Spirals and that says something. It shouldn't be ignored just because other skaters have deeper edges (something which isn't necessary for a great Spiral). And, again, I'd love to see how superior other skaters' edging would be if they were attempting (or had the ability to attempt!!!) the positions that Sasha is capable of!
BTW, Sasha does have quite a smooth change-of-edge in her Spiral as well. Not as great as Michelle's but nobody can touch Michelle in terms of that.
BTW, it seems that Mirai was called for the edge on the Flip and got -2.20.
Is Joannie a total package in figure skating or something like that?
If she is, her scores is well deserved and she is entitled to several benefits.
Now that I have seen all the performances on Universal Sports, I have to say that I don't find any of the scoring out of line. Alissa was great, but Joannie was much better. Suzuki was a little bit labored, while Lepisto had excellent speed and basic skills dispite a messed-up combo. Caroline Zhang wasn't nearly as bad as I expected from the Internet comments. Mirai deserved her third place finish. I didn't see Lacoste or Phaneuf.
I don't think Joannie deals with pressure well. She just skates well in Canada just like Mao skates well in Japan. It is fortunate for her that Canada hosts Oly.
We will see what happens in Japan two weeks later.
Ok, a quick question. Was Joannie's performance as good as:
Yuna Kim's
Tango de roxanne [2007 world - 71.95]
Danse Macabre [2009 4cc-72.24] and
(And these were world record breaking performances)
Mao Asada's
Nocturne 2006 SA - 68.86?
I love Mao's clare de lune, but I couldn't find her high scored program on youtube. They deleted them all I think... But Mao certainly did not receive 70 with her claire de lune at any major competitions, except in team trophy, which she received 75 with 3A combo.
From what I saw, Joannie's PCS is higher than all of these, right? (31+) She also didn't do any 3-3, and I wouldn't say her step or spiral sequence or even spins are better than Yuna or Mao....?
Joannie's SP is up here.

Roanokefan, You understand the concept that 85% of pass plays will have a deep route inserted into it as well as short routes. if the ball is thrown deep it doesnt necessarily mean KG is only designing deep patterns. In fact, the chances are more than likely that there were short patterns within the play.
Wait, thats not all Roanokefan. For the exception of a hail mary and maybe a small handful of other plays, every pass play is going to have some type of short pattern within it, Especially since we play in a lot of tight formations.
So basically, what you're trying to say here Roanokefan is that there is a very high possibility that when the ball is thrown deep, instead of short, or thrown short instead of deep, that decision is made solely by the QB, and not the offensive coordinator.
What you're experiencing is exactly what Ya was talking about when he said the lack of football knowledge has deteriorated on these message boards. there is no logic anymore. No details as to why, or how. Its just blank statements. "we collapsed because adjustments wasnt made". Explain how? Explain which adjustments. Talk about what we did differently when we succeeded. I have no problem with people blaming KG even if i dont believe he should take the bulk of the blame. Just make a reasonable argument. For the sake of discussing football at least.

Herald on Sunday Rating: 5/5
Address: Three Lamps Plaza, 283 Ponsonby Rd
Ph: (09) 360 2122

The French call it table d'hote. These days it is virtually synonymous with the set menu they call prix fixe (fixed-price), but originally the phrase - literally, "the host's table" - referred to the meal included in the price of your lodgings.
Later, it came to mean the meal at a restaurant with no menu, where you ate what they were cooking, according to the season, the best deal at the market, the chef's whim. It would not be fine dining, but a solid homely account of some French provincial classic or other.
In our restaurants, range of choice is often too highly prized, it seems to me. Table d'hote is virtually unknown and places that limit themselves to four or five entrees and the same number of mains are rare. Yet my rule of thumb is that the longer the menu, the worse the food: if you find yourself in a place offering more than a dozen main dishes, the best idea may be to leave.
At Sidart, his playfully named restaurant in Ponsonby, master chef Sid Sahrawat knows this.
We were there on its first night, three years ago, when he was offering five entrees and five mains at a very reasonable $22 and $35 respectively. The meal was sublime (ostrich sushi; roast tarakihi with green-pea gnocchi). The roquefort cheesecake was a revelation.
I worried a bit about whether the place would prosper, since it is tucked in the end of the drab Three Lamps Plaza where Alhambra used to be. But diners plainly seek it out: it's been agreeably busy, especially considering there's a recession on, and they haven't had an empty table on Tuesday nights since January when they started what they call "Tuesday Test Kitchen".
The name may suggest a cooking class or some version of the ghastly MasterChef, but what's happening is that the week's menu is invented each Tuesday and debuts that evening. With the exception of some early planning and preparation, most dishes are conceived and created on the Tuesday by Sahrawat and his sous-chef colleagues. The staff gets to try everything around 5.30pm (if only every restaurant would do this, not as a perk but so that waiting staff know what they're serving) and then the place is open for business. They'll make adjustments for dietary requirements, which you'll be asked about when you book, but it's a fine-dining spin on table d'hote: you eat what you're given.
Eight courses cost $80 a head (it's another $65 for matching wines). With a little tweaking where necessary, that menu lasts the rest of the week (when it's $75 for five courses, $120 for 10). Then they start it all again.
Creatively, it's living on the edge and that's lamentably uncommon in restaurants. The vast majority of even quite good places introduce a new menu four times a year. It must be hard keeping the enthusiasm up when you're doing your 177th snapper ravioli or pork belly. At some stage, in any kitchen, cooking must get close to factory production.
At Sidart, by contrast, there's an almost palpable buzz. A single-sheet menu in a black envelope on the table offers only hints (scallop, spinach, sago; pork, parsnip, blood orange) of what is to come but there's a pretty extensive explanation as each dish lands.
I've written before about not having much time for the more rarefied excesses of high-tech gastronomy (especially, but not only, molecular cuisine). Sahrawat's food doesn't stray into pretentiousness - although there's a trifle too much use of foam for my liking - but makes striking use of ingredients, often including two different iterations in one dish. So the blood orange with the pork belly comes as a Marmite-dark puree and as freeze-dried crisps.
Other ingredients are given original treatments that recall that roquefort cheesecake: roasted bulgur wheat lends a crunchy texture to soft Jerusalem artichoke; the sago on a ring of scallops is like popcorn; the ling comes with a cucumber and parsley gel; the beetroot sits on a parmesan custard.
Detailed descriptions seem superfluous, since the menu will have ceased to exist by the time you read this, but there's something very special happening here. Sommelier Ismo Koski's wine matches, which he explains comprehensively and without a trace of affectation, add to the experience. The restaurant's name is apt: this is food as art.

Multi agency recreational rescue training scheduled
Multi-agency recreational rescue training scheduled
CASS LAKE — A multi agency emergency rescue exercise will be conducted from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday on the ice and in the waters of Cass Lake.
This is the 12th year of this annual exercise, sponsored by the Cass County Sheriff's Office and the Cass Lake Fire Department.
Last year, 25 agencies participated with more than 100 participants involved in the exercise. The goal is to bring area agencies together to work with equipment, view new purchases of equipment and develop a good working relationship should an emergency arise in a departments area. Several exercises will take place including dive scenarios, ice rescue training, and a Cold Water Rescue Technician certification class.
Responding to any emergency situation, the responders need to know what is available to assist them in saving lives. This exercise allows a building of department relationships and the sharing of resources in a real life rescue to save lives.
The first group briefing will take place just after 8 a.m. at the access of Cass Lake, near the rest area on Highway 2 just east of Cass Lake.

What I did
Joshua Tree National Park
Tournament of Roses Parade
Joshua Tree National Park is the area where the Mojave Desert meets the Colorado Desert. Although there is a transitional zone between the two deserts, what makes it so remarkable is each of the deserts is completely different in landscape, elevation, wildlife and climate. The temperatures can range from 85-50 degrees in the Spring and Autumn, 60-32 degrees in the Winter (it occasionally snows in the Winter), and 100-75 degrees in the Summer. There are several hiking paths, driving tours, campgrounds and opportunities for serious rock climbers. And though it is a desert area, we were caught by a cold wind during our visit
Mission San Juan Capistrano is Orange County's only Mission--also referred to as the "Jewel of the Missions"--was founded in 1776. Remember the song "When The Swallows Come Back to Capistrano" (OK, if you're under the age of 50, you are forgiven for not recognizing the title!)? Well, the song was inspired by the unexplainable, and regular migration of the swallows from Argentina to the Mission's mud nests each year between March and April. Naturally, visitors come from everywhere to witness this migration.
Tournament of Roses Parade. For those of you who may have viewed the Rose Bowl Parade: we had the rare and wonderful opportunity,along with thousands of others, to volunteer our efforts--with our daughter and son-in-law--to contribute to the construction and decoration of some of the floats,which included the City of Los Angeles float and the Lutheran Hour Ministries float. It was fun, but could have been dangerous, if one decided to climb and work from a scaffold. I made the effort but,once up there, couldn't work at that level with no support. Congratulations to those brave volunteers who can build these floats! We have a greater appreciation for the floats, now that we have seen them firsthand, from the ground up.
Cabrillo National Monument. While much is unknown about the expedition, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo was the first European to set foot on the West Coast of what is now the United States in the year of 1542. As a result, there is a monument and park dedicated to his expedition and arrival. It is a beautiful location, located at Point Loma, San Diego.
Old Town San Diego State Historic Park is an easy side-trip from Cabrillo National Monument. Not only is it free, but it is fun and wonderful. We were able to take part in a contra dance lesson, as well as visit shops and museums displaying life and times of the era.
Our country has so much to offer...and the national and state parks contribute to the pleasure and education of our history.
We will slowly work our way towards AZ, NM and TX. We plan to be involved in some Habitat for Humanity building projects in NM. We are provided with a free parking space, which is a most welcomed aspect of the endeavor.
May your 2013 be fulfilled and blessed!

This is an account of what goes on behind the scenes. I feel compelled to share with you some information that goes unnoticed, but certainly has an impact on a days event if some detail was missed.
This past Saturday the annual Triple By Pass bike race, event, excursion, whatever the participants call it, was scheduled from Evergreen, Colorado and terminated in Avon. This is 100 miles of insufferable bike riding over 3 Colorado mountain passes. Congratulations to the Antlers team that endured and completed the contest. (I suppose I should name names. Meridith, Rob, Kathy, Bert, Danny, Jimmy, Randi and Don. Your commitment to your sport is admirable).
Now I would like to congratulate me. The preparation to get these world class athletes in place for the days event is tireless.
First I have to get gas in the van. Then I have to get up at 4:00 am to drive these people to the starting point in Evergreen. Then I have to drive back.
Mighty are the preparations for thier arrival back in Avon 10 hours later. I have to get a spot for the gang in the picnic area. Make sure the ice for the margaritas doesn't melt, buy a watermelon, purchase some helium balloon's and write countless text messages that no one answers. I was exhausted.
I suspect pictures will be posted soon dramatizing the day. You will not see, however, any pictures of the "Driver". He simply goes about his business. It is a thankless yet rewarding job and I am proud to be a small part of such a momentous day.
That is what a Driver is.

[quote user="nycsportzfan"][quote user="thegreatone"][quote user="nycsportzfan"][quote user="thegreatone"]That's crazy the ark player shoulda pick up that blocked punt. Nobody around him[/quote] i coulden't believe it.. I bet on ARK last night, and they were getting 3 and god did they blow some chances to at least cover, let alone win... Some horrible dropped pass's inculding the one on the drive before the blocked punt, on 3rd down that gets them in FG range at least.. But my god, on that block punt, u gotta try and pick it up, because even if Oh St did jump on it(there was no oh st player within 10yrd), it still would've been ARK ball.. Then u got the fumble recovered TD for DANE for a TD, that was crazy, seeing ARK not get.... So many opp's blown by ARK, they lost that game, more then Oh St won it..
[/quote]yeah waaay to many missed opportunities. feel really bad for ryan cause he played a GREAT game. He had a guy in his face all night and was still playing well. this could be a very good QB class if these jrs start declaring.
[/quote] the only thing about mallett i don't like is how incredible stiff he is.. I realize he isn't mobile, but with that little added hitch to his release, hes gotta be at least a tad speedier in escaping or stepping around pressure, hes Drew Bledsoe type not mobile..lol When given time, hes insane though, those back shoulder throws, were crazy he was making, i freaking hate that little hitch in his delivery though..
[/quote]yeah he is a little drew-ish but he slid well in the pocket, giving him that little extra time to throw, and thats all you can ask for.
wtf? you cant type i s h??

PITTSBURGH Dick's Sporting Goods reported consolidated net income for the second quarter ended July 31 of $51.5 million, or 43 cents per diluted share. The second-quarter consolidated earnings per diluted share exceeded estimated earnings expectations provided on May 18 of 37 cents to 39 cents per diluted share.
Net sales for the second quarter of 2010 increased by 8.8% from the second quarter of 2009 to $1.2 billion due primarily to a 5.7% increase in consolidated same-store sales and the opening of new stores. The 5.7% consolidated same-store sales increase consisted of a 5.6% increase in Dick's Sporting Goods stores, a 2.9% increase in Golf Galaxy stores and a 28% increase in e-commerce.
"We delivered strong results in the second quarter, generating our highest level of earnings per share in any second quarter and producing our fourth straight quarter of positive same store sales," said Edward Stack, chairman and CEO. "Based on our performance and our expectations for the remainder of the year, we are raising our full year guidance and now believe that consolidated non-GAAP earnings per diluted share will increase 22% to 24% from 2009 to 2010."
For the full year 2010 the company expects to report consolidated non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of approximately $1.46 to $1.49, excluding an approximate 10 cents per diluted share impact from store closures. Consolidated same-store sales are currently expected to increase approximately 4% to 5% compared with a 1.4% decrease in 2009.
The company currently expects reporting third quarter non-GAAP consolidated earnings per diluted share of approximately 15 cents to 16 cents, excluding an approximate 10 cent per diluted share impact from store closures. Consolidated same-store sales are currently expected to increase approximately 1% to 2% compared with a 1.9% increase in the third quarter last year.

Advancements in technology are yielding datasets of increasingly larger size. As one example of such "high-dimensional" data, we consider predicting a clinical outcome (e.g. survival time after removal of a tumor) using measurements of gene expression. We have two datasets, each of which measures gene expression using a different platform. One set of measurements is more precise than the other. Our primary goal is to combine these datasets so as to make the best possible predictions for future observations. The talk uses ideas primarily from linear regression, a fundamental but relatively simple model fitting technique, and I will have several introductory slides for those unfamiliar with it. And for students contemplating graduate school, I will shamelessly promote the field of biostatistics.

Midshipmen Participate in American Service Academies Program
POSTED ON: Wednesday, June 4, 2014 8:00 AM by USNA PAO
Midshipman 1st Class Andrea Howard and Midshipmen 2nd Class Nicholas Hermberg, Teresa Kennedy, and Marc Prather are among the fourteen cadets and midshipmen from the U.S. Military Academy, U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy, and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy chosen by the Auschwitz Jewish Center Foundation (AJCF) to participate in the center's American Service Academies Program this summer.
Through participating in the program, the cadets and midshipmen will learn how to examine history, become ambassadors of ethical behavior, and take responsibility for upholding these values as future military leaders.
Cadets and midshipmen began orientation in Washington, D.C. and visited the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. The students arrived in New York City June to attend additional training at the Museum of Jewish Heritage—A Living Memorial to the Holocaust before going on to Poland for two weeks. During this focused preparation, participants learned more about the Holocaust and contemporary moral and ethical matters, met with historians and staff members from the two museums, took part in workshops on military leadership, heard survivor testimony, and toured the institutions.
While in Poland, the participants will learn first-hand about the rich, vibrant life of Jews in pre-war Poland, especially in the town of Oświęcim (Auschwitz). Each student will meet with Polish and American leaders, visit historic Jewish sites, attend workshops with Holocaust survivors and historians, and visit and attend seminars at the Auschwitz-Birkenau camps, among other activities.
The immersive program in Oświęcim is designed to help future military leaders understand what can happen in the absence of open and democratic governance, the ongoing relevance of the Holocaust to their work, and inspire and empower them to share their insights and understanding with others.
"Genocide can still result from a breakdown of military leadership," said Howard, who is majoring in Arabic and political science. "For this reason, current and future U.S. Armed Forces members must study the Holocaust. While the public may utter the words 'Never Again,' the responsibility for upholding this promise ultimately falls to people in uniform with the power to back it."
This program has been supported in part by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, Inc. and Joan Felder in memory of Marvin Felder.
The Auschwitz Jewish Center is operated by the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust from the Museum's New York City campus. The center opened its doors in 2000 and joined with the museum in 2006. Located just three kilometers from the Auschwitz–Birkenau death camps, the center provides a place for individuals and groups from around the world to pray, study, and learn about the vibrancy of Jewish culture before the war, and memorialize victims of the Holocaust. The only Jewish presence in the vicinity of Auschwitz, the center's facilities include Oświęcim's only surviving synagogue

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Orleans Parish Coroner's Office releases the toxicology report on Terrilynn Monette, the Harvey teacher who had been missing for months before her body was found in a New Orleans bayou.
Dr. Frank Minyard's report says he found a very small amount of alcohol in Monette's system and there was no trace of drugs.
State Rep. Austin Badon told WVUE-TV that proves Monette was not drunk.
Monette went missing in March after leaving a bar. Her body was found three months later inside her car at the bottom of Bayou St. John.

|Check-in before
The Studio appartement, Queens Park London NW6 was really very good. Perfectly described at Wimdu Site. Meets the expectations 100% . Very nice neighborhood. Whole apartment was fresh and clean. Friendly and polite house manager.
Since we didn`t meet Olga herself, I can only judge her housekeeper, whose name I`m afraid, I don`t recall. He met us at our arrival at the appointed time, gave us the keys and explained about the flat and the surroundings, like where to find a supermarket. I found him to be very friendly, polite and helpfull.
When (not if) I will visit London again, I would certainly want to stay in this flat again. I can honestly recommend it. (On second thougths, maybe I shouldn`t recommend it too strongly, in case it`s occupied when I want it next time ;-)
located just out of the center of Londen, with trains, tube and busstops really just right around the corner this is a perfect place to use when you want to visit all the different parts of this large city. We could walk to Portobello road and Nottinghill in just over half an hour, and we went from Greenwich to Camden Town Market by tube or bus.
The beds were fine, the room itself small, but fine, and well equiped with shower and WC, hairdryer, and a small tv. The cooking facilities include an oven and a larger Fridge, including freezer. There is even a washing machine, if you need to wash cloth. And last but not least the warden is a very kind man. All in all we enjoyed our stay and definitely will visit again!
This was a wonderful place to stay during my time in London. I stayed in the large studio with two friends, it was very comfortable and clean. The flat was also very close to a tube station that took you straight to central London. Very lovely stay, and would definitely recommend it!
Nice and clean appartement. Not very cosy though with those bright lightbulbs. Everything worked but had some difficulties with the central heating.. it would not cool down and the fist night we had to sleep with the window wide open. This was fixed the 2nd day. Very quit neighbourhood yet lots of cool coffeeplaces and good subway conexxion around the corner. We were happy to stay here.
The apartment was very clean.It was new and it had everything necessary. The hostess even left tea, coffee, salt,etc which we very much appreciated as we arrived to the apartment very late at night and didn't have the time to do the shopping. It was very quiet and it was only a 5-minute walk to the tube station.
Just perfect! I haven't seen a nicer room in London. The studio had the quality of a hotel, everything was so clean and tidy and there was everything you need in a kitchen. I would definitely recommend this room to anyone who needs his own space, you won't find the same quality for this money!
Me and my two
My mother and I had a great stay in this appartment. It was very nice and clean. Super with free wifi.
The air inside the appartment could be a little humid when ising the radiator, but it could be fixed by oppening the window.
The booking and arriving was very efficient and we felt that it was safe. Olga (only per mail) and Andrey the housekeeper were very friendly and helpful.
Queens Park tube station was very close - about 5 min walk and supermarkets about 10 min away. There was a lot of take away places in the area and a few restaurants.
It takes about 20-25 min from the appartment to Oxford Circus by Underground.
All in all a great place to stay when in London.
This is a great place to stay. The hosts are really nice and it is a great location, the station is just round the corner. Thank you for a great stay.
