Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Treatment of Acute Myelogenous Leukemia With Busulfan and Etoposide Followed by Autologous or Syngeneic Stem Cell Rescue and Low-Dose Interleukin 2 (IL-2) Immunotherapy
- Overall survival of patients on busulfan and etoposide followed by stem cell rescue and aldesleukin [ Time Frame: At 3 years ]Estimated by the method of Kaplan and Meier.
- Toxicity associated with high-dose busulfan and etoposide followed by stem cell rescue and aldesleukin [ Time Frame: Day -7 to day 100 ]Toxicity is defined as any grade 3 or grade 4 toxicity following high-dose chemotherapy; inability to recover sufficiently by day 100 to start IL-2 therapy; or toxicity during IL-2 therapy of any of the following nature: grade 2, 3, 4, or 5 CNS (except grade 0-3 malaise, fatigue, anxiety and depression) toxicity; grade 3, 4, or 5 non-CNS or non-hematologic toxicity; any grade 4 or 5 hematologic toxicity.
- Rate of relapse associated with the regimen [ Time Frame: Every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter ]Summarized using a cumulative incidence estimate, with death without relapse considered as a competing risk. This rate will be informally compared to that of alternate regimens to gain an idea of the impact of this regimen on relapse.

Re: Biscotti!!! I need the recipe plzzzzz...
Basic Biscotti
Ingredients :
4 oz Blanched almonds
2 1/2 cup Flour
2 cup Granulated sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Baking soda
3 x Eggs
Method :
PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F. Spread almonds on a baking sheet and toast them in oven until lightly golden. Let cool. Coarsely chop half the nuts. Butter 2 large baking sheets. Mix flour, sugar, salt and baking soda. Beat in eggs, then whole and chopped nuts. Mix to obtain a firm dough. Knead briefly, then divide dough into 4 pieces. On a floured work surface, roll each piece under your hands into a cylinder 15 inches long and about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place 2 rolls, well separated, on each baking sheet and bake 15 to 20 minutes, until very lightly browned and firm to the touch. With a spatula, carefully transfer the rolls to a cutting board and slice each one diagonally into cookies about 1/2-inch thick. Set wire racks on the baking sheets and lay out the biscotti on them. Return them to the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until very firm and crisp. Cool on the racks, then transfer them to a tin for long keeping.
Try adding 1 1/2-to-2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to this recipe for a nice variation.

Re: Biscotti!!! I need the recipe plzzzzz...
I have a book with 50+ biscotti recipes (told you I had a problem)!
Agree with Sadie, some grated orange zest adds some zing.
And, yes, I cook biscotti for humans (of course).
But I've adapted biscotti recipes for dog birthday parties to fill a gap in the market (as well as mini-muffin "birthday cakes").
Any particular biscotti recipes (ingredients etc) that you wish?
Will do my best to post ASAP.

I am purchasing some hives from survivor feral stock. They are from several hundred miles from here. I was hoping to breed my own queens. I have survivor feral bees around my bee yards that live somewhere near. My two bee yards are about 60 miles apart. Both have feral bees around.
My question is, can I just expect there to be drones of sufficient numbers from the feral hives and can I expect the genetics to be good on the feral hives to raise my own queens with the feral stock from 600 miles away as the Queen stock and do open mating without raising drones myself?
Also, how many times can I do this before I start needing some outbreeding? I figure after a few generations, I can swap some of the hives with the other beeyard for some outside genetics.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Harpur Featured Stories
Explore More
by Eric Coker
Harpur College of Arts and Sciences celebrated its past, present and future during an Oct. 13 ceremony that dedicated the Harpur College Quad and Wall of Excellence.
"Harpur College has been here 62 years and it is the intellectual heart of the campus," Binghamton University President Harvey Stenger said. "It's quite amazing that we have now put that heart where it belongs – in the center of campus."
More than 300 faculty and staff members, administrators, students and alumni gathered at the Library Tower for the dedication ceremony, which was part of Homecoming 2012. Located along a wall near Jazzman's Café, the Wall of Excellence features information about Harpur College's history, along with profiles of outstanding students, accomplished alumni and donors, and distinguished faculty. The Harpur College Quad includes the Pegasus statue, a new walkway and fountain, and the Harpur monument, which was moved from its former location at the University entrance at Bartle Drive.
Guests entered a tent outside the Library Tower to hear from Stenger, Harpur College Interim Dean Wayne Jones, Provost Donald Nieman, Distinguished Teaching Professor Gerald Kadish, alumni Alex Huppé '69, and student Ilana Solomon.
"This (day) is historic because it recognizes the centrality of Harpur College," said Jones, who served as master of ceremonies and later led a champagne toast at the Wall of Excellence. "We started in 1950 and over the last 62 years, we have grown into a major research university with multiple colleges and professional schools, and a body of alumni who are so impressive."
Nieman, who preceded Jones as Harpur College dean, noted that there are a number of reasons for Binghamton University's continued success: "bright, curious students," "a world-class faculty and a creative staff" "dedicated and accomplished alumni" and "excellent professional schools."
"But like all great universities, Binghamton's excellence rests on an outstanding college of arts and sciences – Harpur College," he said.
Today, Harpur College enrolls more than 60 percent of the University's students, sponsors more than half of the PhD programs, generates $20 million a year in external funding and offers high-quality core courses for students in all schools, Nieman said.
Nieman praised Jones and the Harpur dean's staff, including Lee Nesslage and Leah Joggerst of Harpur Constituent Relations, and Lori Fuller and Matt Tynan of Harpur Communications, for making the dedication possible. He also credited Vice President for Administration James Van Voorst for not only coming up with the plan to redesign the area, but naming it Harpur Quad, as well.
"The reason this all came about is that we had to replace the water main on campus," Nieman said. "Jim saw this as an opportunity not only to (improve) our physical infrastructure, but to create a beautiful space in the heart of campus."
Nieman said he hopes that the quad and wall will inspire others in the future.
"By building on Harpur College's proud past and its commitment to excellence, we will be able to reach the destination that President Stenger has pointed us to in the road map process: becoming the premier public university of the 21st century," he said.
Huppé devoted part of his talk to the stone monument that he said represents not just hope, but home, for many Harpur alumni.
"It's fitting to have the Glenn Bartle Library facing what we call the pylon or monument," he said. "It's Glenn looking out over his monument toward his beloved (town of) Maine off in the hills. There is a perfection to the design of this that a lot of us appreciate."
The monument, which is 30 feet high, 8 feet wide, weighs 40 tons and consists of 45 mostly limestone panels, was moved to its new quad home on Sept. 28.
"In the beginning, there was a field," Huppé said. "Above the field, there was a small gym and a bus stop. And there was what we called the pylon – the marker to what would become Harpur College's new campus. … The pylon was a hopeful promise that somewhere up that long hill would be a real college with a real library and laboratories and faculty with leather patches on their elbows."
As SUNY Binghamton grew and thrived, Huppé and other alumni found themselves asking: "Where's Harpur?"
"Where was Harpur College? I say: Let it be here – at this pylon and this quad," said Huppé, who concluded by singing the Harpur alma mater. "Let this pylon that represented hope, a new home and a way to the future still represent that hope and home. I speak for many with gratitude to this institution that has rededicated this stone monument to our history and our love of liberal learning."
Harpur College's past and present were also recognized in speeches from Kadish and Solomon. Kadish, one of four distinguished professors who are initially featured on the Wall of Excellence (Solomon Polachek, Susan Strehle and M. Stanley Whittingham are the others), is marking his 50th year of teaching history at Binghamton.
"With some sadness, I have to say that he is planning to retire at the end of the (academic) year," Jones said, "unless I can talk him out of it in the spring." The 80-year-old Kadish generated laughter from the crowd when he responded with a long shake of the head.
Kadish started at what he called "the house that Bartle built" in 1963. The school was a much different place then, he said: less than 2,000 students, 135 faculty members and not quite 100,000 volumes in the library.
"We had students who were eager to explore and discuss," Kadish said. "They were politically conscious, much to the dismay of the surrounding conservative community. And they thought of reading as a pleasurable way of acquiring knowledge."
"We now have a remarkable diversity of students from every kind of background. That's probably one of the greatest things that has happened here."
"Teaching undergraduates has been the most sustaining, joyous experience in my 49-plus years," said Kadish, who received a long, standing ovation at the end of his talk.
Solomon, an English and human development major, discussed the role that Liberal Arts to Careers Externship (LACE) has played in her time at Harpur College. LACE gives Harpur students the opportunity to shadow alumni in the workplace and explore a potential career path.
"This turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made since coming to Binghamton University," she said. "It's a decision that continues to benefit me and my future."
Solomon, who knew that she wanted to major in English but was not sure what she wanted to do for a career, was placed with Marcel Bucsescu '03, a manager at The Conference Board, a nonprofit organization in New York City.
"My experience with Marcel far exceeded my expectations," she said. "I did not simply follow him around, observing his day-to-day life. I was able to actively engage throughout the experience."
Solomon even ran a meeting on her last day with Bucsescu, she said. The experience made Solomon realize that nonprofit work is the career path for her.
"The LACE program has enhanced my involvement with my liberal-arts (studies) and made my time in Harpur College so much more meaningful," she said. "I'm thankful for all of the opportunities Harpur has provided me so far, including this amazing experience today."
The Harpur Quad and Wall of Excellence are more than just a beautiful space and an informative display, Stenger emphasized to the audience.
"We've not only connected the humanities, social sciences, fine arts and natural sciences," he said. "We have connected the past with the future. Congratulations, Harpur College."

SCTY Slips: Q1 Revenue Beats, Net Loss $0.41/Sh; Q2 Rev View Light
Solar energy systems integrator Solar City (SCTY) this afternoon reported Q1 revenue that topped analysts' estimates, and a net loss slightly deeper than expected, and forecast this quarter's combined systems and leasing revenue below expectations.
Revenue in the three months ended in March rose to $29.98 million, yielding a net loss of 41 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $29.2 million and a 39-cent loss.
Mind you, there are a number of different estimates being counted for net loss this evening. Briefing.com, for example, has an adjusted net loss of 31 cents, which it says matches a Street consensus for negative 31 cents.
Gross margin was 42% in the quarter.
SolarCity shares are down 97 cents, or almost 3%, at $34.91 in late trading. The stock had risen $7, or 24%, to $35.88 during the regular session.
For the current quarter, the company sees lease revenue of $16 million to $18 million, and energy systems revenue of $5 million to $10 million. The company expects to deploy 48 megawatts to 53 megawatts of system capacity in the quarter. Gross profit margin is expected in a range of 40% to 55%.
Combined, those revenue projections are below the consensus for $39.5 million for the quarter.
SolarCity reiterated its expectation for 250 megawatts to be deployed this year.
SolarCity management will host a conference call with analysts at 5 pm, Eastern time, and you can catch the webcast of it on the company's investor relations Web site.

Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
AFC east sucks so much. Patriots will win that division unless the Bills give them the run for their money but I doubt it since they might have QB issues - Ryan Fitzpatrick looking so awful.
Pre-season, schmeseason.
I just want someone in that division to actually compete.
I think the Texans can beat the Pats to win the AFC this year.
Patriots schedule is one of the easiest in the league. No doubt they make the playoffs.
NE Patriots are more than likely going to make playoffs regardless of their schedule. I will not be surprised if they make it to SuperBowl XLVII. They have one of the greatest QBs of all time, one of the greatest head coaches of all time a really good core group of players that flow well together. They know how to win and they stay focused.
NE Patriots put together a great winning streak last season and gave us a lot more trouble in SuperBowl XLVI than a lot of folks thought they would. I think if they had faced any other team than NY Giants in SuperBowl XLVI, they would have beaten them.
A lot of folks harp on Coach Bellichek being a cheater and this and that but damn, I going to tip my hat to NE Patriots for the strength of character they showed in both SuperBowl losses to us. They fought tooth and nail till the end in both those games and didn't make excuses when they lost.
I bELIeve.
Patsies always started with 5-6 wins in their pocket for long time now so I'll be shocked if they don't make it again this year.

The Change Chevron team and the Raging Grannies got together to congratulate Chevron CEO John Watson for steering his company into the Corporate Hall of Shame after only one year with the company.
On Wednesday, Rainforest Action Network's Change Chevron team asked folks to call Chevron CEO John Watson and "congratulate" him, as it had just been announced that Chevron had been inducted into Corporate Accountability International's "Corporate Hall of Shame."
Hundreds of folks made the call, only to discover that the phone number for Watson's office was quickly diverted to a pre-recorded message asking them to call a different number. I guess too many calls came in even despite the bait and switch, because when people called that new number, they were told Chevron was no longer accepting comments from the public by phone, and they'd have to send an email to the company.
Incredibly, the folks who sent an email to the address supplied received an auto-response from Chevron telling them that that mailbox would no longer be monitored by anyone at the company, and they'd have to use a webform.
I guess Watson couldn't take the heat, and decided to hide behind a never-ending labyrinth of bureaucracy. But that's okay, we're pretty sure he got our message all the same. Yesterday we teamed up with the Raging Grannies — an amazing group of activists – and headed down to Lafayette, CA to deliver a "Corporate Hall of Shame" certificate to Watson at his home.
The Raging Grannies came up with a great little ditty to sing to Watson. Of course no one would come to the gate of Watson's home, so they had to sing it to him through the call box.

Dr. Frances Jang has been a qualified dermatologist for almost 25 years, devoting 100% of her clinical practice to cosmetic dermatology. As a lifelong early adopter, Dr. Jang was the first Vancouver dermatologist to employ many emerging innovations, notably the use of intense pulsed light for rosacea, laser hair removal, microdermabrasion, vitamin C serum topically, and most recently, Sculptra. She has been a consistent Canadian leader since the industry's infancy and takes special interest in the artful and subtle use of combined techniques to evolve the aging face over time. Her emphasis on ancillary skincare, combination treatments, and regular maintenance to create natural results has created an avid and loyal clientele throughout the Lower Mainland and beyond.
"I can now say with confidence that the judicious use of Botox, fillers and skincare not only make an individual look fresher and younger in the short term but with maintenance treatments, delay and perhaps obviate the need for traditional surgery."
Dr. Jang is a Clinical Associate with the UBC Department of Dermatology and as such, continues to teach both dermatology and plastic surgical residents. She is an active member of numerous dermatologic societies including the Canadian Society of Dermatologic Surgery, Canadian Dermatologic Association, and American Academy of Dermatology, to name a few. In the past, she has served on the Executive of the BCMA Section of Dermatology. In recognition of her significant contribution in support of dermatologic research, Dr. Jang has been granted lifelong membership in the Canadian Dermatologic Foundation.
As one of Canada's most experienced practitioners of Botox and dermal fillers, Dr. Jang is recognized as one of the top 10 doctors in this field and has achieved platinum-level status with Allergan (manufacturer of Botox and Juvederm). To continually improve Skinworks, she travels regularly to best practices in Montreal, Toronto, San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles and Washington, DC where she collaborates on new ideas and techniques with other elite cosmetic physicians. Several of these top dermatologists have also visited Skinworks in reciprocal fashion.
Dr. Jang is a prominent spokesperson and appears regularly in print, radio and television. Just this year, she has been quoted in over 30 fashion and health-related magazines and has made numerous appearances on CBC, Breakfast Television and Urban Rush. Her leadership has been recognized by her peer group; she sits on several advisory boards and currently serves as the only female on the editorial panel of the Chronicle of Cosmetic Medicine & Surgery.
"I offer honest, straightforward advice to my patients. I customize safe, effective treatment plans and skin care programs that meet each individual's needs, lifestyle, and budget which has resulted in a loyal following of patients."
"I am committed to offering my patients the very best in skin care and I invest in continuous training and equipment in order to do so. This includes being at the forefront of advanced laser technologies, as well as treatments and skincare products designed to reverse the effects of aging and sun damage. I attend important international medical conferences in order to stay abreast of the newest treatments and technology. As a leader in the field of cosmetic dermatology I am frequently featured as a medical expert in both local and national media. I have an ongoing commitment to teaching medical students at the University of British Columbia as well as other doctors in the community."

That ex girlfriend every guy has that was such manipulative psycho bitch, she made him think he was happy in the worst relationship. Upon looking back on the relationship that was, the guy decides it was so inhumane that the ex girlfriend should not be dignified with a full name, just the first letter so the bros know who he's talking about. The word is only whispered in the belief that as the spawn of Satan, she will hear and appear in the blink of an eye.

Listen [1] to the report by Margie Shafer.
RICHMOND, Calif. (KCBS) -- Richmond community and environmental groups seem set to throw their support behind an informal settlement agreement with the Chevron refinery proposed by Attorney General Jerry Brown.
In June, a judge ruled that the refinery's environmental impact report on the plan for construction of its Energy and Hydrogen Renewal Project was invalid.
Judge Barbara Zuniga said Chevron failed to disclose whether the project would enable the refinery to process heavier crude oil.
And in July, Zuniga ordered the refinery to stop construction on the project within 60 days, causing them to start to layoff employees.
Refinery officials said the upgrade would increase the refinery's flexibility to process a wider variety of crude oil and improve the plant's energy efficiency and reliability. They also claimed that the project would reduce overall emissions at the plant and that the environmental review was sufficient.
The environmental groups, however, said that the upgrade was actually an expansion that would enable the refinery to process heavier crude oil that could result in increased pollution in nearby communities.
Chevron has since appealed the ruling and the process has included confidential mediation between the two sides.
Brown's alternative: require the refinery to agree to a limit on the heaviness of crude oil it could process at the plant and to hire an independent expert to monitor emissions from the refinery.
Oral arguments are scheduled in the case on February 23.

New Information Revealed In Burney Toddler Shooting
BURNEY, Calif. - A Shasta County father will be arraigned Wednesday afternoon for child endangerment after an accidental shooting at his home.
Detectives said the Burney man had left a loaded weapon near his three small children. His 5-year-old son accidentally fired the sawed-off shotgun, injuring his 4-year-old sister and 2-year-old brother.
Wednesday morning detectives released new details about the events that led to the arrest of Kevin Venia, 30 of Burney. They said he initially misled investigators about owning the weapon.
The two children are being treated at U.C. Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. The Shasta County Sheriff's Office said the children were in serious condition, but the hospital did not release updated information on their condition Wednesday morning.
The incident happened Monday morning at Venia's home at 37126 Highway 299 in Burney. The Shasta County Sheriff's Office Major Crimes Unit along with the Burney detective completed interviews in this case. They learned that Venia had a sawed-off shotgun in his residence for a couple of weeks.
On Monday, he took the shotgun off of a shelf and began to play with it in front of his children. According to investigators, he then placed the loaded shotgun onto an ottoman where his kids were playing.
Venia then left the residence leaving the kids alone with the shotgun in reach. After a short time, the shotgun fired severely injuring the 4-year-old girl and 2-year-old boy. Through statements of the 5-year-old son and his mother, it is believed that the 5 year old child got a hold of the shotgun and accidentally shot his siblings.
It appears that only one round was fired from the shotgun which was a 12 gauge. In the early stages of the investigation, deputies said Venia denied having a shotgun in the house and soon asked for an Attorney during his interview with Detectives.
A half-brother to Kevin Venia, Ridge Gigax, was also present during this incident and told detectives that Kevin did in fact have a shotgun in the house and placed it in harms way of the children.
Further investigation led to the location of the shotgun which was located near Venia's residence. The shotgun was located by Warden Boyd of the Department of Fish and Game, using a K-9. The shotgun located was identified as the same shotgun that Kevin Venia had placed near his children.
The children's mother, Rose Williams, told KRCR News Channel 7 she was not there when the shooting happened. She said she had left to get lunch for the children. She also briefly stopped at a friend's house. When she returned, she found two of her children badly injured.
"I didn't even have my door cracked and Kevin was handing me my baby girl and she was bloody and she had a hole through her elbow and part of her thigh was missing," said Williams.
"My heart and my body is just so messed up that I don't know what to think what to do because no one will tell me the truth I don't know nothing I just know that that's the way my little girl looked when he handed me to her."
Kevin Venia remains in jail for felony Child Endangerment with a $500,000 bail.
The two children remain in the hospital recovering from their wounds. The 5-year-old boy was not injured and was taken into protective custody.
The Shasta County Sheriff's Office would like to remind the citizens of Shasta County to take preventive measures to keep all firearms out of the reach of children.

Gamebiz.com.au has a new article that is based off the most recent GameSpot feature. It summarizes everything about the new districts of Los Santos and its transportation while still being easy to understand. It doesn't take long to read through so definetly give it a look.
I believe it did mention some new minor details - some things about hot dog stands and the fact you could do shady dealings with the ferris wheel operator at the pier amusement park.

he had us 6-10 last year and +20 this past week
but i think somewhere i saw him say 8-8
that's the equivalent of 11-5 ... i'll sign for that
but yeah negy fans now ... very tiresome ... why root for a team that was Super Bowl recent Champs X 2 and beat down the media heads fav team by 23 and that is not nearly good enough for you
IMO, Buddy realized that 91% of the time we dont win the Super Bowl ... so he figured this was troll city ... only a 9% chance to be wrong ... BUT HE WAS/IS WRONG !!! and we beat the odds !!!

Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l
And I don't get those who say Cruz is not worth it. This guy is the next generation Wes Welker, with a little more explosion. And he's coming into his prime. Of course he's gonna get paid.
agree with u rudy, rf, nygisballing, and shakenbake.
i get the feeling that the consensus is we gotta re-sign him, even if its at market price. its tough. but i certainly see and agree with the perspective that a healthy cruz, nicks, and randle will be LETHAL, especially with a Hixon and even a JJ as understudies.
But again, Nicks healthy is a big questionmark.

Well, seeing as it's Mother's Day, we were busy as hell today, so we decided to pool a couple cases of eggs for omelettes so we could just ladle the eggs into the pans instead of beating them to order (we cook all of our eggs and omelettes in pans, not on the grill). Being it was busy, I'd occasionally dribble some egg on the floor which made a little mess and made the floor a little slick for those not wearing non-slip shoes, so around noon he had to mop it up. He then had the ****ing balls to say to me, "Hey, from now on if you spill egg on the floor you're going to have to mop it up."What now? Come again. I don't know how many of you have any restaurant experience, but a dishwasher's official title should really be, "The Cooks' *****." Now, don't get me wrong, I tend to clean up after myself and keep my station as clean as business levels will allow; I hate working in a mess. But, no dishwasher is going to tell me what I need to clean up. I had half a mind to ladle a scoop of egg on the floor right where he mopped (I've done things like that to dishwashers before, lol). But, somehow, I managed to not say or do anything other than give him a, "Are you ****ing kidding me with this ****?" look and a, "Whatever." The kitchen manager was actually very surprised I held my tongue. I mean very surprised.
I would have threw an egg at him. What a little ****.

Reviews of this property
The truth is that the experience was very good, the accommodation was as appeared advertising, very well located and quiet. And with host any problem.
La verdad que la experiencia fue muy buena, el alojamiento era como aparecia la publicidad, muy bien situado y tranquilo. Y con los anfitriones ningun problema.
Although we did not attend Fanny, Julian the host greeted us properly and stay in her room apartment was agradable.Las conditions are promised in the ad.
Aunque no nos atendio Fanny,Julián el anfitrión nos atendió correctamente y la estancia en su habitación fue agradable.Las condiciones del apartamiento son las prometidas en el anuncio.
Fanny and Julian are very friendly and warm. The welcome is nice, and the fact that Fanny is guide helps a lot in exploring the city; it thus gives valuable tips and allows to visit fairly crowded places. Both are available and affable, a real pleasure!
As for the room, the bed is very comfortable appreciable wifi connection (other tenants, however, a bit noisy), its very convenient location to take bus and subway for the center and / or the airport.
I will treasure the reference because it is a good place for an exotic holiday in Madrid!
Fanny et Julian sont très sympathiques et chaleureux. L'accueil est franchement agréable, et le fait que Fanny soit guide aide beaucoup dans la découverte de la ville: elle donne de précieux conseils et permet ainsi de visiter des endroits assez peu fréquentés. Tous deux sont disponibles et affables, un vrai plaisir!
Quant à la chambre, le lit est confortable la connexion wifi très appréciable (les autres locataires un peu bruyants toutefois), sa localisation très pratique pour prendre bus et métro pour le centre et/ou l'aéroport.
Je garde précieusement la référence car c'est une bonne adresse pour un séjour dépaysant à Madrid!
Reviews for this host's other properties
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The room was confy. I stayed in Madrid for 11 days.
The kitchen wasnt the best but totaly enough for normal requirements.
(2 out of 4 heating plates from the cooker didnt work)
One big problem is that you cant look your own apartement door!!
The host´s were very nice to us! Fanny and julian are always here for you.
(You can call them any time of the day!)
The location is super good! Directly at he Metro Station Diego de Leon!
If i could lock my own room with a key i would always come back at any time!
I spent a week in this apartment and I have to say that it was great value for money. Fanny and Julian are very nice people and are always available to give advice to me. I didn't have any significant problems with this flat it was quite central and despite its being on the 4th floor there was a lift. In addition the area wasn't really that noisy during the night. Had a great time and would recommend to anyone looking for reasonably priced accommodation.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The room was very cozy and everything was clean including the own private bathroom, which was small but totally ok! The kitchen is quite well equipped. Moreover, the room is situated in a quiet street, however not far away from bus and metro, supermarkets are nearby - perfect! Fanny and Julian were always there if we had any doubts and questions, they recommended places to visit and much more, very friendly and open people and we can just recommend staying there!
During my stay I never met fanny and Julian but was greeted by a very welcoming neighbor. I was pretty disappointed in the room the apartment does not look like the pictures and was pretty dirty. No air conditioning was torture in the heat and was only able to sleep a good 4 hours a night. Was given one fan and other people staying at the apartment had to buy their own fans to keep cool. The second day it was hot and they started to paint the apartment the floor below or above and the fumes entered my room and I couldn't deal so I went to a hotel. The apartment wasn't for me but it does have advantages like being close to the city and sharing the apartment with nice people. Maybe after summer it wouldve been better.
Everything perfect, very nice stay. 100% recommendable.
Todo perfecto, estancia muy agradable. 100% recomendable.

Re: Ps4 Question * What do you think of them not including the ps eye with the ps4[ Edited ]
You are mistaken with your logic.. kinect is not intended for pure kinect games to be developed, simply incorporated with gaming in mind.
~ What? The devil don't take checks, I tried to send a message to god his phone don't take texts.. ~
Re: Ps4 Question * What do you think of them not including the ps eye with the ps4
Just to pour fuel on the fire here. Not that I am agreeing with anyone, but I believe it is very possible to create an RPG that is very compelling, that uses a kenect style motion controller.
If used in conjunction with a hand held control for long distance walking / running.
It would work like this, a controller would be used for major movement through the map. Once you encounter an enemy, the game would dynamically designate a combat area around your character, that equals the size of the room you are playing in. I believe the scanning feature of the camera can determine this.
During combat you are allowed free form movement. That is where ever you physically move in your playing area, is translated to your character in the corresponding combat area in the game.
The motion controller would then allow you to melee fight with your movements translated to the in game character. So you could go seamlessly from Melee weapon to hand to hand, to any movement you can think of to defend yourself.
Weapon selection would be triggered by certain movements around certain body parts. Like the act of unsheathing a sword, would select / de-select the sword weapon. Reaching back to a quiver would select / de-select a bow, etc.
With full motion tracking you could even combine the attacks, like swinging with your sword and then kicking the opponent right afterwards. Just like you were actual fighting the opponent, in the same physically sized space as the room you are playing in.
Once combat is over, you once again use the controller to walk beyond the area of the combat zone.
This level of immersion would be perfectly suited to an RPG like game. Imagine playing Skyrim, with a control system like this. It would be like actually being the Dragon Born.
Be One With The Game.

You may see examples this generation, I would definitely not call the kinect 2.0 the future of gaming.. i would call it the future of microsoft and definitely not useless.. and microsoft being a competitor of sony, sony should care about their fancy new toy.. and I would also call it interesting even borderline fascinating.. far more interesting then whatever extra devices sony is trying to include.
You would be surprised how far a gimmick can take you.
Funny you say it will be the future, when I've seen and read maybe 80%-85% of people that either don't want it, or aren't interested in it. For something to be the future, it has to be liked and wanted well, which right now, the kinect isn't imo. If the kinect is the future for microsoft, than microsoft can kiss my money goodbye for the rest of the gaming generations, until or if they ever ditch it. You want a good example? I bought the Wii a year or two after it was released, played it alot at first, then it just got old. It got old having to move around and get up all the time to play motion games. Its not that I'm not in shape, its just that when I come home from a long day at work, getting up and moving around to play a game is the last thing I want to do. Then you got the camera, I don't believe for a sec that microsoft will not have the ability to access the camera. Sorry, call me scared or paranoid, but after all the crap microsoft has just pulled, I don't trust them anymore. If the government wants you to do something or tells you to, you listen and do it, you don't say "oh we told them we wouldn't spy or give out their info"
Re: Ps4 Question * What do you think of them not including the ps eye with the ps4[ Edited ]
I love how people don't even read the entire thread before they post anything, I'm not going to respond to stupidity anymore, As stated 100 times it has nothing to do with the WII or even getting up and moving to play, and someone gave you Kudos? Don't you understand It has nothing to do with what has already been re hashed 1000 times by things like the wii? It isn't a replica it is something completely different you just aren't aware enough to see it.. and If you are worried about the government make sure you throw out your phone, IDs, your Car if you even own one, burn down your house and then go live in the woods, and after you live in the woods make sure to burn your finger prints off if you ever used a bank before in your life or been detained by the police, and after that make sure to use facial reconstruction surgery for all the cameras that indeed have facial recognition all over the world and that have been watching you longer than the xbox one
I seriously hope the next responder takes the time to read all 8 pages, otherwise don't even bother as it will be a re hashing of the same thing over and over
Oh and make sure somehow you go and delete your birth from the system as that is also recorded...
the fact that people are paranoid over xbox one with these trillion dollar satellites floating in the sky pointed down at us like WTH really are you guys this dumb?
People don't like it because people don't have any future sight.. they think oh my god I have to move my fat @#$ I don't want to that makes me angry give me a controller and it has nothing to do with that...
If by the end game of the kinect they simply replicate what the WII is doing? you think microsoft with their billions is that stupid?? This has nothing to do with pure kinect or motion games.
The reason my response is more hostile than normal is not because of the fact we all don't agree, that is fair enough.. My problem is people keep posting without reading and repeating what was said before them and frankly the stupidity is starting to make me itch.
And you know what is funny to all you paranoid people out there? After you just completed the horrid list I wrote to escape from the governments eye they most likely could STILL know who you are by dental records.. so don't forget those teeth...
When it is all said and done most likely in 50 years there will be body scan identification anyway, it won't just be your finger prints, most likely everything about you including finger prints and much more personal information from your nut size to your arm length... if you are paranoid over the xbox one you should run right now...

Re: Ps4 Question * What do you think of them not including the ps eye with the ps4
I'm glad they didn't as I don't really need it and it would push the price higher than I can really justify paying for.

But hey.. at least we get a "headset" in every box now....
Sony = Two steps forward, 1 step back.
As I've been saying since E3: The PS4 will be the 360 of next gen. And that comment isn't necessarily a complete compliment nor a complete insult. Various "cons" people had to say about the 360 this past gen.. yeah, that is PS4 now, people.
But, with that, so will (hopefully) come the pros.
How is including a headset two steps forward and one step back?
I feel you are wrong about that analogy. I don't believe the PS4 will suffer because of RRoDs, every PS4 comes with a hard drive, Has HDMi (Unlike the 360 at first), and is liked far more in Japan/Europe. = That is NOTHNG like the 360, so what are those cons you talk about without an explination?
Okay, I can see you are one of those highly defensive types.
I'll try to explain myself a bit better..
I said two steps forward, one step back, because:
Sony is now including a headset with every PS4 (unlike PS3) yet not including the PS Camera.
MS is including a kinect with every Xbox One, but Sony is removing the original rumored PS Camera in every box, to lower the price -- Which is understandable.
The 360 launched with a headset in every box. It came out a year before the PS3 and was the cheaper of the two.
Because of that, the online community was much more larger (and dedicated) than the PS3 community -- and they even paid for it!
A con for this, was there were a lot more "young" gamers online.
PS3 comes out, does not include a headset, but has free online. Because it was the more expensive of the 2, there were a lot less "kids" on PSN. (but this soon changed over time / after the price drop.) The online community is / was much more less dedicated than 360. (More people play MP games on 360, use mics, join online tournaments, etc.)
Now, when I say PS4 will be the 360 of next gen, here is what I am saying: (Take them as pros, cons, or however the hell you want.)
- It will be the cheaper of the 2 consoles: So this means more "young" gamers online, at launch -- with headsets, included with the console.
- We pay for online multiplayer now -- When fanboys / loyalists used to say that was a con for owning a 360.
- A better online network and a larger (more dedicated) online multiplayer base.

Then we're both alike, friend. I'm a realist too. I'm not an "Xbot" trying to ruffle PS3 "fanboys" feathers here.
PlayStation has been my favorite console since the first one launched.
I bought a PS3 at launch (sold my car to do it) and got a 360 just a few years ago (was given to me.)
I've always been a multi-platform owner -- A gamer. Not a "fanboy" or a 1 console owner.
Each has something to offer, in my opinion.
No need to explain yourself to me. You wanted me to explain my comment a bit more, so I did.
We can just leave it at that.

Re: Ps4 Question * What do you think of them not including the ps eye with the ps4
To be honest, with the PS3... I got 3 Eye Toys for Free, when I bought Games that they came with...
So I own 3 Eye Toys, & didn't even really pay for them...
However, without an Eye Toy, you can't Play great games such as Sports Champions, & whatever...
If those Eye Toys came with the Console it's self, it might make Games a lot cheaper...
The Problem however, is that there really wasn't any Games worth buying for the Eye Toy...
If they really want to Market the Eye Toy, they'd put more thought into it, & supply us with much better Games...
So with that said, I think the PS4 would be a Bonus to have the Eye Toy with it, but at the same time
would anyone care to even use it, probably not...

Oh I forgot about pretty much the fact they have your DNA on record if you have gone to a hospital and they did certain tests... RUN PEOPLE RUN ( Fun Fact! ) If you are sick and go to the hospital for say to check your blood for illness... for whatever reason, be it intoxication, disease, autoimmune.. they are allowed to actually KEEP some of your blood ( and it doesnt have to be for the current tests they are running on you when they drew it ), they won't inform you either... people are so in the dark idk how they haven't broken every single one of their toes by now. They have control and view over every part of your life just think about it
Once you understand we are all ready doomed then you can stop worrying and enjoy the little things.

Story highlights
- A recent list of can't-miss beaches inspired plenty of reader suggestions
- This follow-up list was compiled based on reader submissions of their favorite beach getaways
- Midwesterners, Californians and Floridians had multiple beaches to share
- There are more than 100,000 miles of coastline and shoreline in the United States
With more than 12,000 miles of coastline in the United States -- not to mention lakeshore -- there's no way CNN.com could name every great beach destination in last week's "22 can't-miss U.S. beaches." We asked readers to submit their favorite getaways in the comments section.
The response was fantastic, and we've compiled a second photo gallery of 20 favorites based on reader suggestions. While we couldn't picture every beach recommendation, our friends living in the Midwest will be happy to note that this gallery includes some freshwater beaches.
Which places do you love? They include Michigan's Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Ohio's Headlands Beach State Park, North Carolina's Corolla Beach, Alabama's Orange Beach, South Padre Island in Texas, California's Black Sand Beach, Oregon's Cannon and Tolovana beaches and Hawaii's Papakolea Beach.
And we collected more locations than we could list in this latest slideshow. In Florida, readers also recommend Clearwater, Daytona, Ormond, St. Petersburg, Grayton and Playalinda.
Californians could go on for hours: La Jolla Shores, Pismo, Salt Creek, Huntington, Gold Bluffs, Brookings Harbor, Crescent City and Klamath.
Michigan residents, who enjoy more miles of freshwater coastline than any other state, also love South Haven, Holland State Park, Oscoda, Oval and Warren Dunes State Park. Wisconsin folks recommend New Port State Park.
Other nominees include Watkins Glen, New York; Ocean City, Maryland; Hatteras in North Carolina; and Port Orford, Oregon.
We won't use a blank slide to shame those commenters who declined to reveal their favorites or those who expressed joy that their hideaways didn't make the original list. Who can blame you for guarding the location of your favorite getaways? Everybody needs a secluded place where they can hide out, decompress and rejuvenate from time to time.

No sooner were we in the country than Max and Tristan started up a steady stream of jokes about police brutality and corruption. I'm not sure why they think the Czech police force is particularly corrupt -- maybe they're just prejudiced against former communist countries in general?
My father insisted we stop in Plzeň
Since Navi-chan was being pretty useless, and also we had no map, Max and I did the best we could, and managed to get us into the centre of Plzeň without too much trouble. We parked a couple of blocks away from the city's old main square, and found a pub-style restaurant in a basement. The waitress spoke no English, and about ten words of German. This worked out, because between them, my father and Max know about twenty words of German! I had garlic soup, Max had spicy sausage, Tristan had potato pancakes and sausages, and we all had beer. Except for Max, who was driving, so couldn't have any alcohol in his system.
After the meal, we walked around a little bit, and I roped my father into visiting the cathedral with me. It was Gothic, I had to! Then we got back on the road and took off for our next destination: Prague!

text: Hello all! I have a question about my observation hive. I stared it the first of Dec. from a weak nuk that I did not think would make it through the winter, the queen started laying eggs almost immediately and then 3 days later when I am expecting to see a small larva the cell is empty. I have seen the eggs but no uncapped brood. The hive is in the house near a window with a entrance, on warm days they forage and seem to do normal bee activities, but no growth. The hive is a 3 frame vertical observation hive 2 deep frames and a capped medium frame 2 frames are full of honey and pollen so I know they have ample supplies. Any ideas why they wont raise any brood?

Pat, I hope you feel better soon. This is not the best time of year to be sick but I know those little devils will give it to you every time.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Pat, I hope you feel better soon. This is not the best time of year to be sick but I know those little devils will give it to you every time.
Hi everyone, I didn't finish all 50 blocks but I did 37. 36 for these three lap tops, and I did Ohio as one of my very first paper pieced blocks, I haven't gotten these quilted yet, just added to the "to be quilted" pile. But here here we go...I made the beige sashing one for myself, the green for my DDIL and the blue denim for my DD. I didn't have any ideas when I stared what I was going to do with these, so they are totally scrappy. And I love how they turned out. Now it will soon be time to clear off my table accept for the sewing machine, and just keep on quilting, and quilting and quilting. Enjoy

klgreene, your quilts are beautiful!!
My book came in today's mail so I am glad to finally have it. I want to have it spiral bound next.
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
Katie your quilts are beautiful and what a good way to do it. Thank you for showing us.
Katie, love your quilts. I finally broke down and went to the doctor today since my vague symptoms finally turned in to something. I have a sinus infection. I get them several times a year. This one started different than usual. A day or so on antibiotics and I should be fine.
klgreene--very pretty quilts. I like how each is different.
Katie, Your lap quilts turned out great.
Nygal I have seen your blocks over on the NY beauty group. They are awesome. I am sure your stars will be beautiful. I am planning on doing that one next but it will probably be after Christmas. I am still making Christmas gifts. I have been lurking there since it started. Can't wait to start. I finally finished my back. I thought I had it finished but apparently I messed up the math. WHen I measured my back it was too small by a couple of inces. I had to trim my outer border and add another one. I will post a picture later. I am taking my quilt to the longarmer today. I hope she isn't too backed up since I am dying to see it finished and on my bed. I look forward to seeing everyones work.
Klgreene, your quilt tops are gorgeous! I love them all!

"El Sur Pacific -- 1945," woodcut by Luis Valderas
UTSA's ITC hosts exhibit inspired by WWII stories
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Jan. 13, 2009)--UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures presents the exhibit, "El Sur Pacific -- 1945," through March 29 at the museum. As part of the Texas Contemporary Artists Series, the exhibition features 12 pieces including an inlaid woodcut by Luis Valderas, whose work was inspired by the World War II service in the South Pacific of his father, Horacio Valderas.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

"Born and raised deep in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, Luis Valderas is a prolific native son whose work frequently includes references to both modern and ancient cultural roots," said Arturo Almeida, exhibit curator and UTSA art specialist. "In an ever-growing and evolving body of work, his contemporary narratives, inimitably expressed through a filter of Meso-American myth and iconography, chronicle the Chicano experience on the borderlands and beyond."
>> An opening reception, hosted by UTSA President Ricardo Romo and Dr. Harriett Romo, is 6-9 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 15 at the museum. The event is free and open to the public.
"Drafted at age 33, like many Mexican-Americans, my father proudly served his country in the South Pacific during World War II," said Valderas. "The glimpse of the war that he provided for my brothers and me was a very personal one, full of anecdotes and repeated 'cuentos' (stories, tall tales) about his tour of duty and his final return to the states."
The exhibit works were inspired by stories told by Horacio Valderas about his comrades, the brutality of war and a typhoon at sea with mountainous waves. The experiences helped the soldiers accept and embrace death as part of life.
UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures is at 801 S. Bowie St. (at Durango Boulevard) in HemisFair Park. Exhibit viewing hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday, and noon-5 p.m., Sunday. Admission to the exhibit is free with museum admission (free for members and those with a UTSACard), $4 (ages 3-12), $7 (adults), $4 (seniors age 65 and older) and $4 (military with ID). Free parking is available to museum guests in the parking lot in front of the museum, accessible from Durango Boulevard.
For more information, visit the Institute of Texan Cultures Web site or call (210) 458-2330.

Bad reaction to bee sting!
This is my 5 year keeping bees. I have been stung many times with nothing more than a whelp the size of a quarter. Went out to refill their sugar water yesterday evening and on the way back, ended up getting stung on the my face. Both hands and feet went bright red and swelled up. Then had a bad rash all over. Ended up going to the hospital, they gave me some drugs and such. Everything is good now but my doctor said the next one could be worse. Any suggestions on what I can do or why this happened?

st: structural estimation of exponential model with foc using gmm
Mon, 8 Mar 2010 21:18:08 -0500
I had a question on structural estimation using GMM.
I have 2 equations:
1. Sales equation: S = a*(N^b1)*exp(-b2/l)
2. Profit equation: P = S - w*l
The parameters to be estimated are a, b1, b2 and w
The FOC wrt l for the profit equation (by substituting the value of S) is
3. a*(N^b1)*exp(-b2/l)*(b2/l^2) - w = 0
Using GMM I would like to estimate equations 1 and 3 with instruments as N and l.
However, if I use equation 3 in its present form, I do not seem to get convergence even after trying different initial values, providing derivatives for parameters and using a log form.
I would like to know if I can substitute equation 3 with
4. S*b2 - w*(l^2) = 0
Where I use the form of S from equation 1 and substitute back in 3. I now estimates equations 1 and 4 as the moment equations in GMM. Would it be possible to tell me if I am making a mistake while estimating the parameters a, b1, b2 and w using equations 1 and 4 instead of using equations 1 and 3?

The London Borough of Westminster
City of Westminster It is impossible to even begin to capture everything that Westminster - the seat of Britain's government - has to offer. From stately Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to the raucous Soho nightlife, from the bustle of Oxford Street, to the rolling vistas of the Royal Parks it would take weeks to describe everything to see and do in London's heartland. It also contains some of the best shopping in London, with Covent Garden's bustling market, the boutiques of Soho and Carnaby Street, and the towering department stores around Oxford Circus. As the shops close, London's West End comes alive, with dozens of theatres and music venues, and hundreds of bars and restaurants making sure that this is a borough that never sleeps.
