Reviews of this property
here is a little summary:
Key collection was perfect. We had 5min. waited, but we were informed by SMS ... Then we were shown the apartment and the surrounding area. So along the lines of "where do we find what" ...
The apartment was really super clean but basic and functional. The beds were also very comfortable. The TV was relatively small, as the team could once again, "invest".
Overall, we can recommend the apartment at any time and the next time we will stay there again ...
hier eine kleine Zusammenfassung:
Die Schlüsselübergabe war perfekt. Wir hatten 5min. gewartet, aber wir wurden darüber per SMS informiert...Dann bekamen wir die Wohnung gezeigt und die nähere Umgebung. Also nach dem Motto "wo finden wir was"...
Das Apartment war wirklich super sauber, aber einfach und zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Die Betten waren auch sehr bequem. Der Fernseher war relativ klein, da könnte das Team nochmals "investieren".
Insgesamt können wir das Apartment jederzeit empfehlen und das nächsten Mal werden wir dort wieder buchen...
Fine appartment for a short stay. The appartment is not ment for stays where you want to cook at home every evening You can cook simple meal, but not more.
Good location for exploring the city. Multiple transportation possibilities within a short walk.
The "stylish" means IKEA.
Only problem was that when we were running late, the guy who should let us in did not answer to our text-messages, so he was leaving when we arrived 15 minutes after expected arrival. Two minutes later, and we would never have gotten the key.
Directions should say that the door is not on Heinrich-Heine Strasse, but on the back of the building.
clean. close. cosy. just next to Alexanderplatz. with absolutely no doubts to recommend!!!
Very nice apartment, well equipped and well located. At the next trip to Berlin, it will again this apartment.
Sehr schöne Wohnung, gut ausgestattet und gut gelegen.
Bei der nächsten Berlin Reise wird es wieder diese Wohnung.
The apartment is 1a, easily accessible thanks to metro on the doorstep. Very clean, and no problems with the keys.
Die Wohnung ist 1a, sehr gut erreichbar dank U-Bahn vor der Haustür. Sehr sauber, und ohne Probleme bei der Schlüsselübergabe.
Staying in the apartment enjoyed ourselves. The apartment is centrally located, yet quiet. (Alex in To-foot proximity). The equipment is pragmatic and absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway.
Der Aufenthalt in der Wohnung hat uns super gefallen. Die Wohnung ist zentral, dennoch ruhig gelegen. (Alex in Zu-Fuß-Nähe).

Super appartement, propre, spacieux et bien placé. Nous avons passé un super séjour! Nous reviendrons avec plaisir!
Clean apartment with everything you need, cozy and close to a metro station. The only downside: the neighborhood is not nice, what desolate, almost no shops and eateries.
Net appartement met alles wat je nodig hebt; gezellig ingericht en vlakbij een metrostation. Enig minpuntje: de wijk is niet leuk, wat desolaat, vrijwel geen winkels en eetgelegenheden.
Nice bright apartment with lots of space and equipment. Is very centrally located and only 50 meters to the U-Bahn. Shopping options within 500 meters Good serice and can only recommend this apartment. The family Ottendal
Dejlig lys lejlighed med god plads og udstyr. Ligger meget centralt og der er kun 50 m til U-Bahn. Indkøbs muligheder inden for 500 m. God serice og kan kun anbefale denne lejlighed.

Adult Literacy Report Released by National Research Council
On Aug. 31, the Committee on Learning Sciences of the National Academies of Science, released its report Improving Adult Literacy Instruction: Options for Practice and Research, which was sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences and the US Department of Education in partnership with the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The report synthesizes research on literacy, draws implications for instruction in adult reading programs, and recommends a more systemic approach to research, practice, and policy in those areas. The report identifies factors that affect literacy development in adolescence and adulthood in general, and examines their implications for strengthening literacy instruction for these populations. It also discusses technologies that can assist with multiple aspects of teaching, assessment, and accommodations for learning. . The report recommends several other instructional practices: a wider use of evidence-based practices and professional development; improving learner persistence through the use of technologies, social service support, and incentives; and improved coordination of program improvement, evaluation, and research.
The pre-publication report is available to download now at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=13242#description; the full book will be published as a free pdf in the coming months.

Report on Successful K–12 STEM Education (Part of a Continuing Series)
In order to bring attention to the need for more and more highly qualified workers to meet the demands in the STEM fields, the National Research Council, a component of the National Academy of Sciences, established a committee to make recommendations regarding improving STEM education. The report, Successful K-12 STEM Education: Identifying Effective Approaches in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, is the committee's contribution to making "strategic decisions about improving STEM education," focusing on the science and mathematics parts of STEM.
The committee's first topic concerns the appropriate goals for STEM education in the United States. According to the report, "Questions about effectiveness can be addressed only in the context of the purposes or goals one wants to measure. Three broad and widely espoused goals for K–12 STEM education … capture the breadth of the purposes for STEM education and reflect the types of intellectual capital needed for the nation's growth and development in an increasingly science- and technology-driven world." The first of these three goals is discussed below. The second two will be discussed in a future issue.
Goal 1. Expand the number of students who ultimately pursue advanced degrees and careers in STEM fields and broaden the participation of women and minorities in those fields. The flow of students into STEM majors and careers is said to be decisively important for our nation's competitiveness. American dominance in education generally and in the STEM fields more particularly during the 20th century "…propelled the United States to the forefront of an innovation-based global economy." Other recent studies have made the same case as this report that "…more than half of the tremendous growth in per capita income in the 20th century can be accounted for by U.S. advances in science and technology." (See, e.g., Goldin and Katz, The Race between Education and Technology, 2008). It is imperative for our nation's well-being that we provide all our students with the fundamentals of education that will enable those with interests in STEM fields to successfully pursue their aspirations.
Increasing the participation of groups that both have been historically and are currently underrepresented in the sciences and mathematics is a crucial dimension in achieving this goal, per the report. Of particular concern are blacks, Hispanics, and low-income students who "disproportionately fall out of the high-achieving group" in K–12 education. Only "10 percent of all STEM doctorates are awarded to nonwhite, non-Asian students, although these groups now represent one-quarter of the U. S. population." The growth of these groups as a percentage of the U.S. population will require that they be included in the STEM fields if our nation is to meet the STEM challenge. From an equity point of view, it "is important to provide opportunities for highly talented students from these groups."

I should make you aware that some pirated games are created into whats called bin/iso. They require a program that tricks your computer into thinking there's an install disc setting the game up. I believe Daemon tools is the one i've used recently.
You have to "mount" the game to a fake dvd/cd-drive in your computer. it's kinda funny how it works lol


text: I'm about 6' 4" and now over 300. Couldn't find a fit at 255 either. With the help of my wife I have made a top out of double layered tight woven cotton about two and a half years ago. I'll make a new top with bottoms later until I can afford a "store bought" suit. Right now I wear grey sweat pants and rubberband the sleeves. Only stung once and I crushed her on my veil tie that was against my ribs. But if they have a catalog I would rather order from them, when I can.

The sportswear-meets-fashion collaboration has been ongoing since 2005, climaxing with the label creating the Team GB kit for the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games. Make like an athlete and choose a close-to-barefoot experience with the 'Adipure' training shoe, or take your cue from the designer herself, mixing feminine tailoring with a pair of mesh high-tops for a look that's completely effortless and totally on point.

Proposed law could put restrictions on public drinking in Butte
BUTTE, Mont. - Right now, Butte is one of the few places the United States that allows open containers of alcohol on the street anytime of day, but the proposed ordinance would change that.
"You're not just talking about a new law," explained Sam Jankovich, owner of the M&M, "but you're talking about trying to change the behavior of what's been in the blood of Butte citizens for years and years and years."
Jankovich said this new ordinance isn't right for the Mining City.
He said, "at the M&M, it's a unique place because its open 24/7, so we try to do a really good job from 1:30 to two, getting all the liquor outside on the street, but if we had to have a police force out there and trying to manage that and govern that I think it would be unrealistic."
The law would restrict open containers of alcoholic beverages in public areas from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m.
Anyone caught violating that could face a $500 fine and up to six months in jail.
"I don't think people need to be out there between 2 and 8 with alcohol on the streets," said Lyle Nalivka, who manages Sparky's Garage.
Other business owners are in favor of the plan, and say it's a step in the right direction.
Uptown business owner Robin Mcculloch said, "if it'll control the amount of puking on the sidewalk, the cigarette butts, the loose bottles, and the peeing in the alley and the sidewalks in that period of time, as a businessman I'll be thrilled to death."
While reactions are mixed, people on both sides of the argument say they are concerned this could be a slippery slope to stricter restrictions on public drinking.
Nalivka explained, "I'd hate to see us lose our privileges of having festivals and things that we do that make Butte special for the people who come to visit and the local residents."

My apartment is located in a building surrounded by the nature reserve of the "Valle dei Casali. Despite being in Rome and not far from the center, here you really have the impression of being out of town. It's very quiet, ideal for relax after spending a day among the monuments and museums. In the morning you can wake up with the birds singing.
The apartment is at the third floor with a lift. It is composed of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living-room and a kitchen. The furniture is essential and of good taste.
The bedroom where you are going to stay are supplied with a double divan-bed (new), a wardrobe, a night-table and a desk. There are also a lot of compact-discs, you are allowed to listen to them. The room is provided with a private bathroom.
A roomy kitchen is completely available: there is a 4 fires stove, an eletric oven and a microwave, a kettle, an espresso machine and a dishwasher, there is a table for the meals, everything you need for your cooking is at your disposal: crockery, cutlery, oil, sugar, butter, etc. You can also prepare a good coffee, cappuccino or a tea.
In the main bathroom you'll find a washing-machine you could use, in my presence; in your room you'll find all towels, sheets and blankets for your necessities, hair dryer and obviously soap and toilet paper; both (towels and sheets) will be changed twice a week.
The best means of transport to reach the street where i live is the car: in the complex there is a large parking-car available to you. If you have no car, shops for all necessities, bus-stops to reach the town-center and those to reach the Metro are at ten minutes on foot. You will find supermarkets, a bank, bars, tobacco shops, a pizzeria, a patisserie, an Asian restaurant, a pharmacy and many other stores.
Compatibly with my work (fortunately i have much free time), during your stay I can take or take back (10 minutes by car at no extra charge) to / from the nearest metro station or to / from the terminus of the line 8 (which arrives in Piazza Venezia). In addition, at the time of your arrival or departure, in exchange for a small reimbursement for gasoline I can come pick you up or take you to the airport of Fiumicino or Ciampino.
At your arrival you'll find a complete guide of Rome at your disposal and useful information about the means of transport.
My house is not far from Villa Pamphili one of the most beautiful and large park in Rome; Porta Portese the very famous second-hands objects market (clothes, furniture, etc); Viale Marconi and Viale dei Colli Portuensi are two streets useful for your shopping; Viale Trastevere, where you will find many typical restaurants and many locals and where it is very pleasant to walk during the summer evenings.
If you need to control your E-mail and look for Internet information a free network Wi-Fi is available. In the living room there is a printer that you can use if you need to print tickets and reservations.
In your room there is a portable air conditioner with water function; anyway, since the room facing east, is affected by the sun only in the morning and because the flat is surrounded by a lot of green it is always cool.
I can speak some English and some French. During your stay, I will do my best to make you enjoy your holidays and satisfy all your needs.
See you soon!

Reviews of this property
We spend 7 days in Rome en stayed at Fabrizio's place. The room is clean and quiet. The bed is really good. Bathroom is small but ok. From the window you look out into a forest. You wake up with the singing of birds.
He doesn't make you a breakfast, but you can use the kitchen.
The place is somewhat out of the centre, but Fabrizio brought us nearly every day to the metrostation or into the city to a point where we could get a bus.
And also he picked us up again there in the evening.
Also he picked us up and drove us back to the airport, he asked for that a small amount.
Besides, Fabrizio is really a nice guy, gentle, very helpful en always in for a good conversation.
Fabrizio's is so very kind, caring and helpful - I call him San Fabrizio! I have been in Rome many times before but always stayed at hotels. Fabrizio's home is far superior to a hotel. Situated next to a natural reserve, the only sound that can be heard is the chirping of birds. Any guest who has stayed with Fabrizio will leave with memories of a restful, rejuvenating experience like having been in a 'resort'.
Accommodation is more than 'perfect'. Private bathroom is a rare luxury!
It is like you are staying in a hotel suite. Fabrizio keeps the place immaculately clean. He offers the very best to his guests - including Nespresso!
I had never stayed at b & bs or hostels ever before. Staying with Fabrizio is just like having stayed at a home of a very dear friend. Thank you Fabrizio for your friendship and the most memorable stay in Rome. I will be back again and again and I will let all my friends know about you and encourage them to stay at your home to have a wonderful 'holiday' in Rome.
My gratitude to Wimdu for facilitating excellent accommodation and to Fabrizio for providing it. Thank you!
We, a german couple, lived 7 days together with Fabrizio. Fabrizio is one of the nicest people we ever met. If you need a ride to the subway station or theres a need for a ride back home from the subway - Fabrizio was always there for us.
If you want to go by feet and bus instead, you'll need ca 40 minutes to the Roman centre.
And if you want to know were you can eat - ask Fabrizio. I never ate better then in his favorite restaurantes.
Nice room with a very nice host. The room is not very close to the city centre and to the metro station, but Fabrizio brought us to the metro station every single time. Also Fabrizio knows good places to go to. I can really recommend this apartment!
We had a wonderfull time in Rome. Fabrizio is a very hosptiable and organized guy. He learned us a lot about the traditional Italian way of living. The room was clean and neat. After a busy way in the city it was nice to come back to this quiet place. Fabrzio dropped us at the metro every morning and would offer to also collect us on our way back. If you want, busses to the city centre are also close by. Fabrizio has also a small booklet with all public transport connections arranged for his guest. Very conveniently, two big supermarkets are loacated at waling distance. We really recommend this place! Saurabh & Cecile
We spent the better end of the year (2013) in Rome and especially in our host Fabrizio!! 6 days extraordinary!
His home was just great, we did not know Rome, it really helped us in and guided!
His apartment is great! No complaints about the cleanliness, the availability of the kitchen! And the bathroom in the room is at the top! The setting is great!
We had a great evenings with Fabrizio!
Again thank you to you Fabrizio!
If you look well, I hope you change your mind with my comment!
Laura and Julian - The Grenoble -
Nous avons passé la meilleure fin d'année (2013) à Rome et notamment chez notre hôte Fabrizio !!!! 6 jours extraordinaires !!
Son accueil a été tout simplement géniale, nous ne connaissions pas Rome, il nous à vraiment aidé et guidé !
Son appartement est super ! Rien à redire sur la propreté des lieux, la disponibilité de sa cuisine ! Et la salle de bain dans la chambre est au top ! Le cadre est super !!!
Nous avons passé de supers soirées en compagnie de Fabrizio !
Encore merci à toi Fabrizio !
Si vous hésitez et bien j'espère que vous changerez d'avis avec mon commentaire !!
Laura et Julien - Les grenoblois -
Our stay in Rome was successful. Fabrizio is an excellent host who does not hesitate to get his car to take us or bring us to the subway! the room is very clean, functional, we have the same right pair of shoes ... we return home Fabrizio again if we ever return to Rome ...!
Notre séjour à Rome a été une réussite. Fabrizio est un excellent hote qui n'hésite pas à sortir sa voiture pour nous amener ou venir nous chercher au métro ! la chambre est très propre, fonctionnelle, nous avons même droit à la paire de chaussons... nous retournerons chez Fabrizio sans hésitation si nous retournons un jour à Rome...!!!
I have never booked with windmu, but decided to since hotels were so outrageous in Rome. Fabrizio was great at quickly responding to my emails when I first inquired about transportation since he is a little outside of the main city center. He was fabulous and picked us up from the airport and dropped us off/ picked up from the metro station (10 minutes away) each day for an extremely reasonable donation for gasoline.
The room was great too. His apartment is in a very quiet section of the city, next to a preserve. The room was spacious and very clean. Bathroom a little small, but whatever...as long as the shower is hot - which it was. He was a great host who understood enough English to help us with whatever we needed. Highly recommend. The
We had a wonderful time in Rome. Well worth the visit as Fabrizio made our stay as comfortable as possible with easy access to and from the Metro. Facilities were well at hand. Will recommend Fabrizio any time.
10 stars out of 5!! We have never met such a nice, friendly and accommodating host as Fabrizio ... The accommodation is fantastic, very clean and equipped with everything you need. If we should be in Rome again, we only stay at Fabrizio, because it may be better anywhere! Super!!
10 Sterne von 5 !!!! Wir haben noch nie einen solch netten, freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Gastgeber wie Fabrizio getroffen... Die Unterkunft ist fantastisch, sehr sauber und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Wenn wir wieder in Rom sein sollten, übernachten wir nur bei Fabrizio, denn besser kann es nirgendwo sein!!! Super!!!!

Students at UTSA Downtown Campus
Student orientation proposal deadline is Oct. 24
By Omar Hernandez
Public Affairs Specialist
(Oct. 21, 2008)--Orientation sessions are a great opportunity for UTSA faculty, staff, and organizations to connect with students. Thousands of new students will attend orientation sessions next summer, and if you or your organization has suggestions for programming -- now is your chance.
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
Article tools
The deadline for proposal submissions that will affect students entering UTSA in fall 2009 is Oct. 24, 2008. E-mail or campus mail proposals to George Norton, assistant vice president for admissions, orientation and family programs. The proposals then will be evaluated by the Orientation Advisory Board and the selections will be announced in November.
UTSA Undergraduate Student Orientation is a large program serving some 6,000 new students annually. Because so many students are affected by orientation programming, feedback is always sought.
The Orientation Advisory Board was created to help make orientation programs more effective and meaningful to students. With representation from the Office of Academic Affairs and the Office of Student Affairs, the board will meet regularly throughout the year to discuss suggestions for program improvement and to ensure that appropriate modifications are implemented. The board welcomes proposals from the entire UTSA community.
For more information, contact George Norton at (210) 458-5600.

This guy just made my day! Took a big **** on that star!!! LMAO!
As funny as this video is you gotta love this guy's passion and enthusiasm. True NFL fan.
Let's put the women and children to bed and go lookin' for dinner
Wiped away. Clean slate. Put in a box in the attic. 1978 "Miracle at the Meadowlands"? History. Wiped clean in 1986. 2006 playoff loss? Erased in 2007. 2008 meltdown (that the Eagles did 0 with to capitalize upon)? Deep storage.
Naturally, you're still holding on to bad memories from 1961. I know they eat your fanbase alive. That's why they're all such miserable malcontents and why being an Eagle fan is all about self-loathing.

Deputies: Bear Grass student brings crossbow to school, threatens classmates
BEAR GRASS - A student at Bear Grass Charter School is charged with bringing a weapon to school, following an incident where authorities discovered a crossbow in the trunk of his car.
The Martin County Sheriff's Office said the incident happened Thursday morning around 8:25 a.m. Deputies said a teacher notified the school's principal that 16-year-old Curtis Handy of Williamston threatened to shoot his entire first period class.
According to students interviewed Friday, Handy said, "I'm coming in tomorrow morning and I'm going to shoot everyone in this class."
A lieutenant with the Martin County Sheriff's Office said the principal then took Handy to her office, where he admitted having a cross bow in his car.
In a phone interview Friday, Bear Grass Principal Donna Moore said the school was prepared to handle the incident.
"We have training in place to handle minor to major situations like this one," Moore said. "The teacher who discovered the student's intention did exactly what was required. We called the Sheriff's office immediately."
Authorities said the teen has been charged with possession of a weapon on school property and communicating threats.
School staff could not disclose if the teen has had any disciplinary issues in the past.
Bear Grass reopened less than three weeks ago as a charter school, after the Martin County Board of Education voted in 2008 to close the facility.
There are 262 students enrolled at the charter school, located south of Williamston.

Tuukka Rask on butt stumble: 'Some days it sucks to be a goalie'
|05.24.13 at 5:04 pm ET
New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez gave us the "Butt Fumble" against the Patriots last Thanksgiving. Tuukka Rask gave us the "Butt Stumble" right across the Hudson River from MetLife Stadium Thurday night.
Say this much for Rask: He has a lot of patience with repetitive questions from reporters and he has a good sense of humor.
Both were on display Friday after practice at TD Garden as he was peppered with more questions about Thursday's "Butt Stumble on Broadway" and the Bruins losing Game 4 in overtime just like they did three years ago when the collapse began in Philadelphia.
"I don't even want to compare," Rask said when asked whether the bizarre loss in overtime in Game 4 Thursday night reminded him of 2010. "It's a totally different team. We beat Philly out the next year, 4-0. We won the Cup. Lots of things have happened. As we've said all along, we don't like to look in the past or too much ahead. We like to live in the moment and focus on the task."
And as for the blooper of all hockey bloopers this season?
"I think you either decide to cry about it or have a sense of humor about it and that's it," Rask said. "You just have to move on. You let in goals and at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what kind of goals you let in, it's still a goal. Some days it sucks to be a goalie."
Rask lost an edge and fell backwards in the second period Thursday night, allowing Carl Hagelin's weak backhander to slide past him and into the net to cut Boston's 2-0 lead in half.
"Yeah, I saw it. I saw it many times in my head, too," Rask said. "I mean, you can either cry about it or laugh about it and I decided it's better to have a sense of humor and laugh about it. Tough break, those happen. But to be honest, I think throughout the years I've been pretty good in making those 'Not-so Top 10 lists' so there we are again."
Enough of the funny business. As for the serious business of getting ready for Game 5 Saturday night, Rask said he liked what he saw at the 30-minute up-tempo practice Friday at TD Garden.
"Absolutely," Rask said. "It's been a few days since we had a full team practice on an off day and today we just want to make everybody's minds are in the right place and we're making crisp passes and executing the plays and keeping it short and sharp, and that's what it was."
Does he wish he could play right away and not wait until Saturday?
"No, no. I'll take my rest," Rask said.

Bend bid to ban plastic grocery bags begins
But 'Ban the Bag Bend' has council foe from get-go
BEND, Ore. - "Ban the Bag Bend" is a campaign that kicked off last week to ban plastic bags at grocery checkouts. The movement is gaining steam after a comment made during a class at OSU-Cascades -- but it may have to turn to voters to succeed, if one city councilor's views are any indication.
"One of our teachers actually told us that, there's no way we could actually ban plastic bags because people are so attached to them," said Lexa McAllister, a sustainability student.
McAllister is leading the local "Ban the Bag Bend" movement, hoping a statewide ban comes out of the current legislative session in Salem.
But if not...
"We're saying, 'If you don't ban them in February, we're going to take action and pass an ordinance and ban them in Bend,'" McAllister said.
Once they do go before the Bend City Council, it could be an uphill battle.
"It's ridiculous," Councilor Scott Ramsay said of the idea.
"You know, people have the right to choose whether they want to use a product or not use a product," he said.
"In a situation like Ray's (Food Place), where they chose not to give out plastic bags any more, great," Ramsay said. "If people don't want plastic bags, then go shop more at Ray's -- and if the other supermarkets see they're much more successful, they're going to change their culture too, but don't do it through legislation."
Ray's Food Places in central Oregon pulled plastic bags this past week. Portland, Eugene and Corvallis already have bans.
"To ban plastic bags at the grocery store, it's futile. There's so many other things," said Ramsay.
Statewide, plastics make up about 11.5 percent of what we throw out. Paper, by comparison, makes up 17 percent. Plastic film, like the kind used for the bags, makes up less than 5 percent.
Dropping plastic could cost you. Paper is more expensive than plastic. The bill considered last year in Salem would add a 5 cent charge for every paper bag, to help stores offset the increased cost.
But it's a cost some believe is worth the ban.
If you want more information about the Ban the Bag Bend campaign, you can visit http://www.environmentoregon.org/ . We'll also make it our new KTVZ.COM Poll topic, which you can find halfway down the right side of the home page.

There are rumors the new ATS-V will come with the LF3 turbo V6 and spy shooters have said the ATS-V sounds more like a V8 than V6. So my guess is which motor do you think the ATS-V should have? the more modern TTV6 or the new Gen V small block?I'm hoping it receives the LT1. GM doesn't need to offer this car with a Turbo 6 like BMW will do with the M3. Also if the TTV6 they tested in the C7 didn't yield better FE than the LT1 did then I'm guessing it wont in the ATS-V either. My guess is maybe GM is going with this engine because of marketing. Plus it would be awesome for GM to offer the LT1 to take on the C63 AMG with its 6.2L V8.
I think the lt1 in the ats would make a better car. Better sounding, and probably lighter and more fuel efficient than putting 2 turbos on an already heavy, large, dual overhead cam v6. That said, the bmw crowd is more likely to consider the ats if it doesn't have pushrods and a camaro motor.
--"If everyone is thinking alike, someone isn't thinking." -- George Patton
I'd prefer the LT1, but if the blown six is good enough I probably won't cry too much.
------------------------------You can have an opinion, just be prepared to be relentlessly mocked for it.Warning: This post may cause cancer in the state of California.
LT1. It should have something that makes it distinctly American, and that would be it.

I think a TTV6 is a minor mistake. Yeah, that's the trend in the segment, but Cadillac should buck trends. Cadillac should go in balls out with a the V8, make it an alluring alternative to the M3 instead of just a competitor.

i really dont care which engine it is, i can see benefits to both. the v8 would be more traditionally american, but the LF3 would be really fun to tune IMO

one thing to think about is the CTS will get a 3.6T below the V seriesATS may just have an NA V8, while CTS-V will probably get the supercharged V8 shared with the freaky fast version of the Corvette
--------------------I'm working on a scifi-adventure webcomic!
Well the LT1 is a tad heavier than the LS3 so my guess is the LF3 is probably heavier as the regular 3.6L isn't much lighter than the LS3
ATS-V should get the LS7 that would make the guys in Bavaria lose sleep
Hoping for LT1 but am afraid itll be a tt6.
I prefer the LT1. The twin turbo V6 would need to get significantly better fuel economy to be my choice. For example if the difference was only 1 mile per gallon better in city, highway, and combined ratings, I just rather have the V8.

Engberg, Siri. "Robert Motherwell." In Bits & Pieces Put Together to Present a Semblance of a Whole: Walker Art Center Collections, edited by Joan Rothfuss and Elizabeth Carpenter. Minneapolis, MN: Walker Art Center, 2005.
© 2005 Walker Art Center
Robert Motherwell was the youngest member of the New York School of Abstract Expressionist painters, a group that included Willem de Kooning, Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock. His humanist approach to art, affinity for literature, and passion for writing made him the unofficial spokesperson for the movement. Unlike many of his peers, he had an extensive formal education, studying painting at the California School of Fine Arts, literature and philosophy at Stanford and Harvard, and art history at Columbia. His pictorial language took the form of drawings, collages, prints, and paintings ranging from intimate studies to monumental works on canvas. The Walker Art Center is home to a significant collection of Motherwell's achievements in all these media, including a complete archive of the prints—the largest public repository of this material in the world.1
Motherwell took pride in being a part of the lineage of modern painting, and embraced in his work the influence of Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso. Of equal interest were Asian traditions of painting, drawing, and calligraphy; he also profited from the diverse ideologies of European artists living in New York in refuge from World War II, particularly the Surrealists Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, and Roberto Matta. From them, he learned the concept of "psychic automatism," a form of doodling in which the artist allows an unconscious, spontaneous impulse to lead the way.2 Motherwell used the technique with great success in developing his own brand of abstraction.
As a personal point of reference, it was the subject of Spain to which Motherwell returned time and again in his work. Two of his best-known series, the Elegies to the Spanish Republic and the Iberia paintings, were created in response to his intellectual and emotional involvement with Mediterranean culture. The Elegies, which eventually came to number more than one hundred canvases plus numerous drawings, prints, and studies, were intended not only to commemorate the loss of life and liberty marked by the defeat of the Spanish Republic in 1939, but to evoke Motherwell's belief that an era of enlightened humanism had died with it. He once remarked, "The Spanish Elegies are not 'political,' but my private insistence that a terrible death happened that should not be forgot."3
The Elegies first appeared in Motherwell's work in 1948. Characterized by alternating ovoid and vertical bar shapes dominated by black, the motif soon became a seminal part of his visual vocabulary. Elegy Study (1953) shows the artist's interest in the impulse of automatism as well as the metaphorical permanence of black; in the late work Elegy to the Spanish Republic #167 (Spanish Earth Elegy), the motif is placed on a field of ochre, a pigment the artist favored, in part, for its allusions to the sun-baked landscapes of Mexico and the Mediterranean.
The Iberia paintings, titled after the region named by the ancient Greeks that is now Spain, were initiated when Motherwell traveled there in 1958, an experience that proved pivotal. His many paintings and drawings made that year, such as the Walker Art Center's Untitled (Iberia), moved away from figuration into a more pure and symbolic abstraction. Though critics have seen in the Iberia paintings such visual references as the body of a bull, in a formal sense these are paintings about black, the most persistent pictorial presence in Motherwell's work. He saw black as both a color and a structural element around which a work could visually and symbolically revolve.
Throughout his life, Motherwell explored the expressive potential of collage, a technique of assembling found papers or other materials on a flat surface. It was a means by which he could alternately explore issues of representation and abstraction. His collages were very personal statements and included ephemera—bits of torn rice paper, cigarette wrappers, sheet music, wrapping paper, wine labels, or postal packaging—that revealed his individual tastes and visual attraction to particular colors and textures. Through collage, Motherwell frequently resolved compositional problems he was investigating on canvas; likewise, the process of painting opened new possibilities for the artist to further his work in collage.
"For a painter as abstract as myself, the collages offer a way of incorporating bits of the everyday world into pictures," Motherwell once remarked.4 The elegant Histoire d'un Peintre (Diary of a Painter) (1956) is composed of random fragments, such as pieces of brown wrapping paper at hand in his studio and paper removed from a blue package of French Gauloise cigarettes.5 At the center of this work is a torn page from an art catalogue with text that reads Réalité et abstraction (reality and abstraction), words that allude to the two poles of artistic expression Motherwell actively explored. A second text appears on a scrap of rice paper on which the artist has written the phrase Jour la maison, nuit la rue (By day at home, by night on the town). Borrowed from the Surrealist writer Paul Éluard, these words might also have been included to poetically reference the life of a painter.
Throughout his activities in painting and collage, Motherwell returned to the practice of automatic drawing. He also had a fascination with Asian calligraphy, and often painted with ink and a calligrapher's brush. During the spring of 1965, he made a series of some six hundred ink drawings on Japanese rice paper.6 He entitled these the Lyric Suite, named partly for a string quartet by Alban Berg that he had listened to repeatedly while he worked. Rapidly executed, each drawing has the resonant precision of Japanese haiku poetry and recalls Motherwell's interest in Zen. When grouped, the drawings amplify one another to form a strikingly vivid array of gestures. The artist once admitted that he was anxious at first that these ink studies lacked visual complexity, but many years later he was still astounded by their freshness.7
From early 1967 through the final years of his life, Motherwell devoted considerable time and energy to a series of works he called his Open paintings. Just as automatic drawing had led to the development of new forms in his work, serendipity also played a role. When one day he noticed two canvases leaning against each other in his studio, it led him to outline the shape of the smaller canvas onto the larger one, which resulted in a spare, rectangular design against a background of color. For Motherwell the effect recalled a window in the plane of a textured or colored wall, which in turn reminded him of the stark facades of Spanish houses.8 The Open paintings, such as Window in Sienna (1968), allude to the presence of the window throughout the history of art, from Renaissance portraiture to the more abstract depictions of Henri Matisse to the psychological musings of René Magritte. Motherwell also spoke of the affinity between Japanese Zen painting and his own work, characterizing the Opens as analogous to the Asian concept of the void: "The amazing discovery is that it takes relatively little to animate the absolute void … [one discovers] that the void is beautiful in itself."9
In 2003, the Walker published a definitive catalogue raisonné of Motherwell's prints to commemorate this acquisition. See Siri Engberg and Joan Banach, Robert Motherwell: The Complete Prints 1940–1991 (Minneapolis: Walker Art Center, 2003). ↩
It was Matta who introduced Motherwell to the technique in 1940. ↩
Motherwell, "A Conversation at Lunch," address delivered at Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts, November 1962, notes by Margaret Paul. Paul's notes were included in Robert Motherwell, An Exhibition of the Work of Robert Motherwell, exh. cat. (Northampton, Massachusetts: Smith College Museum of Art, 1963), unpaginated. ↩
Quoted in Jack Flam, "With Robert Motherwell," in Douglas G. Schultz, ed., Robert Motherwell, exh. cat. (Buffalo, New York: Albright-Knox Art Gallery in association with Abbeville Press, 1983), 16. ↩
The artist was known to keep "collage boxes" in his studio in which random materials could be collected for later use. Often, elements from a given collage fragment would appear in several works. The Gauloise package was a visual element the artist recalled being introduced to by a neighbor: " … one day we were sitting talking and he offered me one—I don't smoke them—but I said, 'God, that package is so beautiful and blue'—it probably was in August sitting by the sea—and about a week later he put in my mailbox an empty carton of these blue packages. One day in the studio I felt like making a collage, and among other elements, picked up this blue—well, it turned out to become an obsession, this blue package." Motherwell, interview with Martin Friedman, Walker Art Center, August 1972 (Walker Art Center Archives). ↩
The series was initially meant to consist of 1,000 drawings: "On an impulse one day in a Japanese shop in New York City … I bought ten packets of one hundred sheets each of a Japanese rice paper called 'Dragons and Clouds.' Some weeks later—early in April 1965—it came to me in a flash: Paint the thousand sheets without interruption … and above all without revisions or additions upon critical reflection and judgement… . Anywhere from ten to fifty a day, on the floor, sweat dimming my spectacles on hot days. Each picture would change before my eyes after I had finished working on it." Motherwell, "Addenda to the Museum of Modern Art Lyric Suite Questionnaire—from Memory … with Possible Chronological Slips," August 8, 1969 (Museum of Modern Art Archives). ↩
Ibid. ↩
These recollections are quoted in Marcelin Pleynet, Robert Motherwell (Paris: Editions Daniel Papierski, 1989). ↩
Quoted in Flam, "With Robert Motherwell," 23. ↩

text: On path to draft and some other sources, I've been hearing that he could drop because no one knows exactly where he fits in. On path to the draft (I think that's what the show was called) they said he could make it into the 2nd round. If he's there when we pick, I would LOVE to get him. I guess I'm all up on the Alabama band wagon for this first round. Hightower, and now Upshaw. I personally don't see any of chance of it happening, he's just too good... but if he was there at 32, WOW. Dude is workhorse and an absolutely animal on the field. In Alabama's game against Michigan State in 2010 he was making NFL caliber plays all over the field. When he first got to Alabama he was like 224 lbs. Now he's about 264.

Celebrating Native American Culture in Wisconsin
Last Updated: 6/30/2013
Native American cultures are a vibrant part of Wisconsin's rich history. The state is home to 11 tribes – the most east of the Mississippi – providing both an education and cultural experience for travelers this summer.
Native American Museums
Located in Green Bay, the Oneida Nation Museum contains the largest exhibit of Oneida clothing, medicine, toys, music and more. In nearby Bowler, visit an archive of Mohican artifacts at the Arvid E.

Important Announcement
The Fire and Building Safety Division will only accept VISA Credit Cards for those applications that are filed on-line from our web site.
The Fire and Building Code Enforcement Branch encourages the development of building code law enforcement programs within state agencies and political subdivisions and exercises any program of supervision that is approved by the Fire Prevention and Building Safety Commission. The branch enforces building laws and related variances as well as other orders that apply to Class I structures, industrialized buildings.
To carry out these objectives, the branch encourages and assists local elected officials to adopt proper ordinances and set in motion code enforcement programs within approved building departments. The branch also provides local building officials with continuing education regarding the application of code and building laws.
In jurisdictions without approved building departments, the branch periodically inspects Class I buildings. Agricultural buildings and one- and two-family dwellings fall under the jurisdiction of local government. The branch also regularly inspects industrialized buildings and audits approved third-party inspection agencies.
The branch encourages the professional development of the building commissioner's staff, local building officials and related professional organizations such as the Indiana Association of Building Officials and the Indiana Association of Electrical Inspectors.
The branch responds to building code complaints from the public, contractors, local building officials and other state agencies, and provides assistance during times of public disasters.

text: Dec 14 1:59 PM CT By Todd Archer | ESPNDallas.com IRVING, Texas – Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan said cornerback Morris Claiborne "got a little dizzy" in Thursday's practice and was not sure the first-round pick will be able to play Sunday against Pittsburgh. Claiborne said he is preparing to play, but he has to pass one more test before getting cleared. He was limited in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable. "I'm feeling good right now," Claiborne said. "I'm just going to work closely with the training staff and whatever those guys want me to do, that's what I'm doing to do." "I know he's doing everything he can and he's got to pass these tests," Ryan said. "That's the one thing, they've got this protocol and no one can rush it no matter who you are so I think it's great for the player's safety that we make sure when they do come back they come back with no trouble coming back. When Mo comes back he'll be ready to go and until then we'll just move forward." Read more: http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/cowb...morris-claiborne-questionable-with-concussion

Non-verbal:Until she was two and a half years old, she was non-verbal. "[I] would just sit and rock. Dribble sand through my hands."
Mother's social skills lessons:"[My mother would] have me dress up in my Sunday best and greet [her] dinner party guests and then serve them hors d'oeuvres, so I learned how to shake hands."
Horse nut:At 14 went to a boarding school where she could take care of horses and love doing it.
10 minutes early or late:"I always tend to be 10 minutes early."
Temple Grandin is world-famous for using insights gained from her autism to revolutionize the livestock industry. A professor at Colorado State for more than 20 years, Grandin is a celebrated speaker who lectures internationally on autism and livestock handling.
Diagnosed with autism as a child, which was thought to be a form of brain damage at the time, Grandin only began speaking at the age of four following extensive speech therapy. Still, Grandin went on to academic success, earning a degree in psychology from Franklin Pierce College in 1970, followed by a master's degree in animal science from Arizona State University and a doctoral degree in animal science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
An expert on animal behavior, Grandin has designed humane handling systems for half the cattle-processing facilities in the U.S. and consults with the meat industry to develop animal welfare guidelines. In 2010, Time Magazine listed Grandin as one of its most Important People of the Year.
Not only has Grandin's work on the humane treatment of animals made her revered in the animals rights world, but her books about her life as an autistic person have increased the world's understanding of the condition.

text: I was driving down I-85 south from Atlanta to Leesburg and still 150 miles away from home when it started missing and bucking at 60 mph and the whole vehicle was jerking back and forth. I slowed down to 55 mph and it was still doing it. I turned on the tow/haul switch to at least raise the rpm hoping it will help with the isse but it did not. Whenever I accelerate to 65-70 mph the whole vehicle will start jerking back and forth as if it was missfiring on some cylinders or running out of fuel. Oh, %#$t! my fuel pump is dying and may get stranded on the side of the road! Well I decided to try one more thing before I gave up. I turned off the A/C and open the front windows. It was a nice low 80F outside so it would be a nice breezy drive. Wow! the jerking disappeared and I was able to cruise at 70 mph with no issues. Question: Is it possible my a/c compressor is siezing up and affecting a 5.3L >250hp engine? I would think that the a/c compressor is so little to affect the engine. But I could be wrong. I will check my a/c compressor tonight for internal mechanical binding by spinning the magnetic clutch pulley. Any other ideas? Thanks

If you are one of our readers who has a little one, you may be as excited as I was to hear that Medela just released a brand-new bottle perfect for pro-breastfeeding moms. The new Calma feeding system makes switching between the bottle back to breast easier than ever before. The milk flow is controlled by a valve that allows the baby to control the flow and it only flows out when the baby creates a vaccuum. This makes it most effective in mimicing the natural feeding behavior that a breastfed baby is used to, allowing them to pause and breath as they wish. This new bottle is the perfect solution for breastfeeding babies that occasionally need a bottle, especially those that are stubborn about drinking from a bottle. Medela has once again proved to be exceptional in producing a product for breastfeeding moms to make our lives easier!
If you have been a Coupons Are Great reader for a while, you probably already know that I had my third child seven months ago. I am happy to say we are still successfully breastfeeding at this point (with solids having just been added at six months). I cannot, however, say that my little guy successfully takes a bottle. My last memory of trying to leave him with my husband for long enough to require a feeding via the bottle involved a phone call with a frazzled husband and a screaming baby in the background. He doesn't take a pacifer either so there wasn't much hope for my husband when my little guy refused the bottle. The first thing I thought of when I heard about Calma was how much we could have used this in my house the last seven months!
When my Calma arrived, I was impressed by the design of the bottle. My husband and I were joking that it really might be the closest thing to him having his very own "man boob". 🙂 I was pleasantly surprised too when the cleaning process was so easy. I remember another popular brand bottle being a real drag to clean the parts, but that wasn't the case at all with the Calma, and I loved that the bottles (of course) are compatible with my Medela pump. My older two kids were excited for the opportunity to feed their baby brother again. Our first attempt was unsuccessful with Mommy in the room, but I am excited to report that my mom was able to get him to take it when I left the house. So we officially have a bottle now that will allow mommy to get a break now and then, and it's all thanks to Medela!

Hello, Everyone!
Just getting into beekeeping this year. I've posted the story of how I got interested in beekeeping at Beethinking.com's forum for those that are curious. In a way I guess it was another one of those "the bees pick you" stories.
I have two top-bar hives that I purchased from Beethinking and plan on going with treatment-free beekeeping. I am a member of the Ohio State Beekeepers Association and the Scioto Valley Beekeepers Association. I must say that the SVBA members have been very welcoming to my wife and I. We're probably their southernmost members, as we live about an hour south of the meeting location. We are signed up for their beekeeping class in April. We've ordered a package from one of the members as well. My wife wanted to try luring a swarm to the second hive, but I convinced her that would be a gamble and I wanted to start with two hives so I ordered a second package from Gold Star Honeybees. We get first one right after our class, and the second one in May. In the meantime we'll be putting out our hives and baiting them with lemongrass oil, just in case--we might get lucky! If so, I'll either build another hive or order another one from Beethinking.
We're really looking forward to getting started. Much to my surprise, not only did I get acceptance from my wife to start this new hobby, she is enthusiastic about it herself! We're looking forward to using the hives as a fun teaching opportunity for our grandchildren as well.
After we get used to the TBHes I'm planning on giving Warre hives a try. We'll see how it goes.

Tara Leigh Calico was born on February 28, 1969. Tara graduated from Belen High School in 1987 and then went on to attend the University of New Mexico – Valencia Campus, 15 miles away from her home. On September 20, 1988 at the age of 19, the promising college sophomore disappeared about 150 yards from the Rio Communities golf course near her home in Belen, New Mexico. Up until 10 years ago her case was believed to be a kidnapping and received extensive coverage on 48 hours, A Current Affair, Unsolved Mysteries, America's Most Wanted , and The Oprah Winfrey Show.
On June 15th, 1989, a Polaroid of an unidentified young woman and a boy, bound and gagged was found in a parking lot at a convenience store in Port St. Joe, Florida. It was believed that the young woman in the picture was that of Tara Calico. The boy in the photo was believed to be a New Mexico boy by the name of Michael Henley. There has been much speculation on whether the young lady in the photo is Tara Calico, in which her mother, Patty Doel, believed it was.
After the photo was found the case on Tara Calico had seem to have gone cold. It wasn't until the 20th anniversary of Tara's death in 2008 that the Belen News Bulletin published an article stating that Rene Rivera, Sherriff of Valencia County, knew what happened to Tara Calico. Rivera states, he knows the names of those involved, but without a body he cannot make a conviction stick. Since this is an ongoing investigation he cannot release the names of the young men and the community leaders that were "allegedly" involved in Tara's death and disposal of her body and bike.
In this documentary we will remember Tara and let the world know what happened to this young woman. Through this we hope to bring forward information to be able to locate her body, so that she may finally be put to rest.

PART I Direct Cash Assistance For Facilities
In most instances, public schools receive state education revenue on a per-pupil basis. Because the average public school does not have to procure or improve its own facility—something that is taken care of by its district—per-pupil allocation formulas to individual schools historically have not accounted for capital expenses. Rather, this funding generally has been intended to support a school's instructional program. But charter schools, which typically have to secure their own space, often have had little choice but to tap into those instructional dollars to cover facility costs.14 Compounding this financial squeeze, charter schools usually receive fewer per-pupil dollars to start with, generally receiving a fixed percentage of the per-pupil allocation designated for their traditional peers. Some states grant charter schools less than half the per-pupil dollars that are given to regular public schools.15
To help address the charter school facilities dilemma, policymakers in some states have created a dedicated funding stream to offset the capital or lease expenses of these schools. Typically granted in the form of a separate per-pupil allocation, this funding supplements any instructional revenue given by the state and is provided without any obligation of repayment.
