City Council to decide outcome of PP, QQ passages
Original post made on Nov 6, 2008
Because both Measures PP and QQ received favorable votes from a majority of those casting ballots, both measures were officially approved. It will now be up to the City Council to consider the measures and develop an action plan for putting a hillside protection ordinance in place that reflects the intent of both measures.

QQ does not require a citizens task force. It simply requires a public process.

As I understood from the staff report, the City needs to come up with some clarifying ordinances anyway in order to implement PP. I can picture another ballot measure asking voters to adopt whatever comes out of the QQ process that might even overturn PP.

If that happens(a ballot measure to overturn PP)I can envision the clipboards coming out for a recall ballot measure...:)

The Council gets to decide? Smells like the fox / henhouse thing. Citizens be prepared to have your will blunted yet again.

Yes, the Council will have to make some decisions but they will have to take into account parameters in PP such as 25% slopes, parcels with fewer then 10 homes, etc. Unfortunately, with this situation, it would seem like there will be an even greater likelihood of someone suing such as the land owner or supporters of PP thinking that the content of PP wasn't put into place.
Meanwhile, with all the focus on this, what kind of attention will Main St. receive? Tree House has a store closing sign on their windows as well. How many store fronts does that make that will be soon vacant? I hope that everyone will work together to come up with hillside protection so that the community can put some attention to Main St. which I suspect is going to get worse before it gets better given the economic times.

Ouch, did you fall asleep in government class, or what? The "will" of the "citizens" said implement both PP and QQ. Who do you think is supposed to do this? I'm all ears to hear about your understanding of how this should happen.
a resident of Vintage Hills
on Nov 11, 2008 at 10:25 pm
Yes, both PP & QQ passed by a wide margin. The people want hillside protection and that want it now! More voted "yes" for PP than QQ, so does that affect the council? I think it should.
Does anyone else remember the fear that QQ supporters threatened, if PP passes there will be lawsuits? Now that both passed, the gray mututally exclusive areas (where they differ) could cause more lawsuits that PP alone ever could have. Now the council must interpret the will of the voters and open themselves up to lawsuits by the public or maybe lawsuits by the land owners. Can you say Lose, Lose?
Sounds not have muddied the water. Perhaps they should have let PP got to a vote all by itself!

If you happened to read the staff report on PP, you would already know this. PP adds language to the General Plan, but because it isn't specific on a certain number of things, the City needs to create additional ordinances in order to clarify the implementation of PP. These are intended to make sure that PP is consistent with other policies in the General Plan, as required by State law. You can't have a General Plan with conflicting policies.
Or are you saying you didn't understand what you were voting on because you didn't do the homework required?
a resident of Amberwood/Wood Meadows
on Nov 11, 2008 at 10:41 pm
I apologize to Ouch. There is no homework required in order to vote.
a resident of Oak Hill
on Nov 12, 2008 at 12:39 am
I'd be inclined to wager that if the "ridge tops", "25% slopes" and some modified version of the "parcels with fewer than 10 homes" is kept intact, the PP crowd just might be satisfied. Well, maybe not, who knows... Someone probably has to devise a means of defining a slope and ridgetop. I suppose someone couldn't simply look at a slope/ridgetop and say, "Yep, that's a slope/ridgetop. Now let's decipher the degree". Might need NASA satellite assistance...
Before the process to meld PP and QQ begins, you don't suppose the developers will be waiting at the city council's door looking for a payback for campaign contributions... Naaaw...:)
Local politics - a fun process to watch...:):)
a resident of Amberwood/Wood Meadows
on Nov 12, 2008 at 8:28 am
PP's language gets adopted "as-is". There can be no "modified version". Open questions remain such as what will happen to the Happy Valley Bypass road. PP supporters are on record as saying the bypass road is not intended to be affected by PP. In order for that to happen, additional language needs to be created to define what PP means by "structure" and if grading is allowed on 25% slope for the road because the road is meant to also serve future construction (Spotorno) in addition to existing development. Otherwise a strict interpretation of PP would prohibit the bypass road and require some sort of other resolution of the conflict between PP and the Happy Valley Specific Plan.
Is this a loophole or just unintended consequences? Will it again pit neighborhood against neighborhood over which interpretation should be used? Some group is not going to be happy.

it seems to ME - that people should have done their homework before voting - from an arial view there is other access to that land - This will now be tied up in courts just like the elementary school that should have been built in 1996 but the then council was just to blind to see it.
They both should have been no and gone back to the drawing board for a real solution. This is going to be costly and drag on for a long time.
a resident of Del Prado
on Nov 12, 2008 at 12:42 pm
While I agree with your conclusion that we should have voted no on both PP and QQ you should not blame the "Council" for something that was done by the Pleasanton Unified School District Board of Trustees (the School Board). The School Board that brought us the Neal School mess was lead by none other than our biggest Council race vote getter in the last election, Cindy McGovern. Now who needs to do their homework before voting?

Pestle and mortar
Followed Jamie's tip for using the pestle and mortar for making a fabulous salad dressing. Only thing is, it's now covered in olive oil. I wasn't sure about using soap and water to clean it. Has anyone tried it and does everything taste of soap afterwards? I've got Jamie's grey stone pestle and mortar.

Re: Pestle and mortar
Dear Briony
The care guidelines for Jamie's black granite pestle and mortar are
handwash only in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
I have also included some tips and advice from Jamie at Home on using it, enjoy!
Gena x
Jamie at Home Ambassador
Made of polished and unpolished black granite this item is
timeless. A pestle & mortar is one of Jamie�s essential kitchen prep
items, as noted in his books. The large pestle allows your hand enough room to bash, mash and grind your spices without crushing your fingers too.
You can make quick, no fuss curry pastes, marinades or a fabulous basil pesto.
Be careful not to overfill your mortar, it is designed to crush about a tablespoon of spice at a time, even though it could hold a lot more.
For garlic and herbs, pound them to get a nice aromatic paste; with spices the most
effective technique is a circular grinding motion, keeping the pestle in contact with the
mortars surface at all times.

6/1/13. Ocala, FL- The Hobby Stocks, E-Mods, and Rent-N-Roll Gladiators all returned to Bubba Raceway Park while the Limited Late Models ran a special $600-to-win feature and the 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks ran a $500-to-win race.
The Hobby Stocks put on an impressive show and by lap 4 it was Heath Walker up front in the Suwanee Salvage #55. On lap ten he was overtaken by Mike Stalnaker in his brand new #8. Just two laps later, Alvin Adkison brought out the first caution when he spun in turn 4. Stalnaker lost the lead on lap 14 as Brian Morgan was too much to handle in his #9. Morgan held on through two late cautions to win the race. Stalnaker finished bridesmaid once more with Devin Walker taking third and the points lead. Heath Walker and Sean Monoghan rounded out the top five.
Shane Nichols led the opening ten-lap stint before a competition caution came out, and a message as well- Bubba made it clear to Nichols: "If you drop to the tail and come back to win, I'll give you $200." The fans cheered for him to do so, but he ultimately decided to hold station up front. Nichols was hounded by Shane Taylor for the next seven laps until Taylor spun in turn 1. Nichols took the win- his fourth consecutive- over Shawn Taylor, Shane Taylor- who rebounded nicely, Bubba Byers, and Lenny O'Neill. The top 3 are 'frozen' as they are awaiting a ruling from UMP on a spring rule, with Nichols the man who may lose the argument, and history, unfortunately. The rest of the field's order is confirmed.
The Limited Late Models also had an amzing fight up front and Tim Powers had the job of holding off Tyler Clem. Clem would not remove himself from Powers' rear bumper, and driver #14 gave the fans a true feel-good story. In the end Powers did win, but admitted in Victory Lane that 'The Kid' was definitely coming. Clem finished second with Jason Pope, Devin Walker, and Chuck Jackson in tow.
William Gillam led the opening stint for the 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, and actually held on through two early cautions. On lap seven, Jason Gamble got loose and spun the Donnie Dobbins-owned #33 and made unfortunate contact with Tony Campbell. Both driver's nights were over, but they were okay. Gillam held the lead until lap twelve when Jeff Stalnaker, Jr. took over the point. Stalnaker held on through the final restart and went from worst-to-first to record his second win of the season. Gillam came across in second, Melvin Fockler finished third, James Erickson finished fourth, and Brandon Elwood rounded out the top five.
The Rent-N-Roll Gladiators also had an impressive finish with three cars on three different strategies. Kyle Moore was extremely aggressive on corner entry, Stephen Frankland was smooth, and Tyler Bryden was simply waiting and learning. Moore led the first two laps before handing the lead to Frankland. Frankland led Moore and Bryden until two-to-go, as that's when Bryden called it go-time. Bryden used the outside to get around Moore and gave it all he had in turn three on the final lap. Bryden came up a car-length short in the end, but he certainly showed Frankland, the winner, that more competition has arrived. Moore finished third behind Frankland and Bryden. Tom Sheehan finished fourth and Bill Southard completed the top five.
The Late Models return next week-end with the Scorpion Racing Products Modifieds, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, Rent-N-Roll Gladiators, and the $750-to-win E-Mods.

Sabrina Macias and Morgan Stanton of the Colorado Rush were both recently named to the ECNL All-Event team for the event held in Frisco, Texas in late February. All event teams are based on nominations from coaches and scouts at the event judging both individual and team performance.
Sabrina, goalkeeper for the U16 Nike team, was named to the team after helping her team to ties against Dallas Sting and D'Feeters Soccer Club. Sabrina caught the attention of scouts with her play, but also with her face! In the game against Sting, while making a save, Sabrina was kicked in the face and had a black eye she couldn't open the rest of the event! (check out the Colorado Rush Facebook page from Feb 23 to see it!)
Morgan, midfielder for the U18 Nike team, led the team to two wins and a tie against a strong trio of Texas clubs. Morgan scored twice in the 4-0 win over Lonestar and ran the show in the middle of the park against Dallas Sting in a 1-0 Rush win and a 0-0 draw with D'Feeters.
Congratulations ladies!

Two recent groups of Karen Gelardi's studies of nature (she calls it "botanical propaganda") harness a bold and painterly craft aesthetic among the rough wood benches and baskets of lush melons and gourds in the open industrial space that also serves as a popular restaurant and farmers' market in downtown Belfast.
The hand-sewn fabric assemblages of "Banners" and photocopied posters of "Drawing Constructions" celebrate playfully extracted forms from the natural world: coral, twigs, buds, seaweeds, and flowers, which are reduced to carefully messy gestures. Repetition and pattern in the works mimic modern commercial textile design, and while aesthetically pleasing, at times lean too heavily toward the purely decorative. Overall, a rough handling of mundane materials and the isolation and deconstruction of decorative elements generate an off-beat commentary on industrial production and the value of the hand.
Ten "Banners" are raised like flags in the space, varying in scale and elaboration. Installed casually, the works are deliberately wrinkled and creased, highlighting their connection to utilitarian textiles. The banners are more like fabric drawings, with brightly hued cotton and wool marks jumping from earthy raw linen. The formal elements are often homage to Matisse's later cut-outs, stark and monochromatic organic shapes defined by sharp lines, but Gelardi's forms are even further distilled. Their simplicity allows them adaptability in reception, at once referencing a perforated leaf and a high-rise, the lines of routes or rivers spliced from an atlas, or a totem.
In "Banner #2" six minimalist floral forms harkening to Andy Warhol's 1970 flower prints pop from the dusty linen in oranges, reds, and deep purples. The fragmented shapes are figural, denying strict representation. One larger-stemmed element hovers over the rest, both a lily and a swallow with wings extended. Other shapes are circular fallen petals, with whisker-like stripes ripping through them.
While Gelardi's forms are lovely and sophisticated in themselves, the depth of the work is lent by her connection to craft and to the weight and texture of the textiles she uses. Stitches and knots are left exposed, and rips and tears in the materials provide a raw freshness that the works would lack were they meticulously clean. Fabrics are patchworked or layered where the artist decided to manipulate a form already sewn onto the linen canvas.
Gelardi's compositions are whimsical, but find a tension in directly engaging an edge or being flush to one side. "Banner #7" sits on the bottom edge of the canvas, pointing to the unevenly cut borders. In a fleshy palette of hot pink, maroon, and deep brown, a collage of elemental forms conjures body parts and seed pods. The pieces are engaged and interacting here, becoming head, torso, limb. This, coupled with a horizon line, makes this work the most narrative and active in the show. "Banner #12" pushes the compositional boundaries the farthest, also emphasizing Gelardi's sensitivity to color relationships. Two polygons overlap like a jagged Venn diagram, one raw linen and the other a bright crimson, playing backdrop to a graphic brain coral-like shape that bleeds from a sunflower yellow to a candy pink.

The World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) were created at the end of World War II by the U.S. and British governments. During the war the business classes of Europe were either supporting the Nazis, getting their banks and factories bombed into oblivion or they fled Europe with all the money they could carry. On the other hand, socialists, communists and anarchists had high credibility because they were the leaders of the Resistance to Nazi occupation. In order to prevent leftists from coming to power in western Europe, it was crucial to U.S. and British elites to get the business classes back into power. This required international institutions that would promote capitalist policies and strengthen the power of the corporate sector.
The World Bank focused on making loans to governments in order to rebuild railroads, highways, bridges, ports and other "infrastructure", i.e., the parts of the economy that are not profitable for private companies to build so they are left to the public sector (the taxpayers). After an initial focus on western Europe the World Bank shifted its lending toward the third world.
The IMF was established to smooth world commerce by reducing foreign exchange restrictions and using its reserve of funds to lend to countries experiencing temporary balance of payments problems so they could continue trading without interruption. This pump-priming of the world market would benefit all trading nations, especially the biggest traders, the U.S. and England.
The unwritten goal of the IMF and World Bank was to integrate the elites of all countries into the capitalist world system of rewards and punishments. The billions of dollars controlled by the IMF and World Bank have helped to create greater allegiance of national elites to the elites of other countries than they have to their own national majorities. When the World Bank and IMF lend money to debtor countries the money comes with strings attached. The policy prescriptions are usually referred to as "structural adjustment" and they require that debtor governments open their economies up to penetration by foreign corporations, allowing them access to the workers and natural resources of the country at bargain basement prices.. Other policies imposed under structural adjustment include: allowing foreign corporations to repatriate profits, balancing the government budget (often by cutting social spending), selling off publicly owned assets ("privatization") and devaluing the currency.
Many grassroots groups in the Third World talk about the recolonization of their countries as they steadily lose control over their own land, factories and services.

Business piling up for trash haulers taking Hurricane Sandy debris
Damage from Hurricane Sandy may be bad news for homeowners, but it's become good news for local trash haulers. There's been a rise in refuse since the storm hit.
Advanced Disposal's services at the Hinkle Transfer station in Lower Macungie Twp., Lehigh Co., are in peak demand.
"We've seen about a 45 percent increase in volume coming in to our transfer stations and landfills," said Jessie Mateleska, general manager.
Landfills and transfer stations in the area are staying open later and taking in debris from New York and New Jersey. State environmental regulators are relaxing some rules to help storm devastated areas. Advanced Disposal is one of six companies in the Lehigh Valley with permission from the DEP.
"We're seeing an increase in spoiled food, trees, and some constructions debris," explained Mateleska. "Roofing materials, things of that nature."
The uptick in trash translates into an additional 100 tons the transfer station is pushing through daily. The location has also extended its hours to include Saturday.
"Our folks are out there working twice as hard as they normally do trying to get cleaned up."
The special approval from the DEP expires Saturday, but Advanced Disposal is requesting an extension through next weekend.
"More waste keeps coming in. It's got to go somewhere," added Mateleska. "Without an exemption, it's going to be hard to accommodate the folks of New Jersey."
Advanced Disposal said a majority of the garbage coming in from New York and New Jersey is actually going to neighboring facilities, but that boom in business is sending local and regional haulers over to them.

GM to shut down Chevy Volt plant for four weeks — for the second time this year
posted at 8:36 pm on August 27, 2012 by Allahpundit
They've already sold many more units this year than they did last year, thanks in large part to a little help from the California legislature. Not only do you get to use car-pool lanes there if you're driving a Volt, you get a $1,500 state rebate on top of your $7,500 federal tax credit. Don't underestimate government's ability to make this overpriced novelty popular by piling incentive upon incentive to induce you to buy it. All Congress needs to do is pass a law granting the Volt a special speed-limit exemption on the interstate and GM might be viable again.
As for now, though, even with the increase lately, the company still can't sell enough cars to justify running the plant all year round:
GM will close its Detroit-Hamtramck plant from Sept. 17 until Oct. 15, one of the sources said. Union representatives last week told the plant's roughly 1,500 workers about the scheduled downtime, the source said…
Volt demand has picked up this year, after sales last year fell short of GM's goals. GM sold 10,666 Volts through July, more than triple the 2,870 sold during the same period a year earlier.
GM executives have attributed the sales increase to strong demand for a low-emissions version of the Volt that qualifies for California's coveted carpool lanes, which GM launched in March. Previous versions of the Volt didn't qualify.
Volt inventories have been whittled down, too, to 6,500 units, or 84 days' worth, as of Aug. 1. On March 1, just before the last production shutdown, GM had 154 days' worth.
They shut the plant down from late March to late April too. Believe it or not, at one point earlier this year, they were hoping to sell 45,000 Volts in the U.S. alone. Yeah.
Exit question: is GM headed for bankruptcy — again?

9 Steps To A Brighter Smile!
You have textured hair that was in proper shape before you left your apt, but now you're at work and it has frizzed up.
Pro Advice: "The thing with curly hair is that when it's dry you can't fix it, so you have to wet it in order to restyle it," saysGardner Edmunds, a NYC-based celebrity stylist who works with Lea Michele, and a ton of other A-listers. "At [school], you'll want to keep a conditioning spray nearby, which dampens the hair and resets the curl without making it look frizzy." Edmunds suggests spraying one like Living Proof No Frizz Restyling Spray onto hair, and then, using your pointer finger, reforming the curl to tame any flyways and bring it back to its solid curl pattern. "Repeat as necessary and let it air dry," he says.
You have fine hair that started out voluminous-looking in your bathroom, but an hour or so before your big meeting it fell flat.
Pro advice: "Keep a travel-size dry texturizing spray, like Oribe's, in your bag at all times," he says. "To give yourself a boost of body, flip your hair over and spray it everywhere, but mainly concentrating it on your roots. Not only will it help to soak up any oil on your scalp that is causing your hair to fall flat, it will also add instant volume."
How To Get Long, Lush Lashes (Without The Falsies)!


text: I have a 2000 silverado 2500 4x4 w/ 6.0L motor. I just got done replacing the drivers side bearing hub assembly because I noticed grease getting slung in my wheel well and a groan while in a turn. The half shaft boots were in tact and when I took out the old assembly I could tell that the grease was indeed coming from the assembly. I took it for a test drive and I still have a groan in a turn, it sounds like it is on the drivers side. Could the half shaft bearings be going out or can I be getting fooled and it's the passenger side. I plan on getting it up on a jack again tomorrow and checking the passenger side by grabbing the top of the tire and push/pull. Thanks

Another Kind of Green: How Studying Abroad Can Improve Your College Experience
To study abroad or not to study abroad? It's a question that confronts college students on a frequent basis, introducing an inevitable flurry of related questions that plague us: when should I go? Where should I go? WHY should I go??
Well, in an attempt to help you tackle those questions for yourself, our editorial intern shares his experiences of studying abroad in Rome and lists the 5 things you will reap by the bucketload should you decide to take the leap (and take it from us, you definitely should!):
"You don't need to lose it to know that you had it good." John Mayer puts it perfectly in his song "Another Kind of Green," playing off the metaphor "the grass is always greener on the other side." How many times in your life has it taken losing something to make you realize how good you had it? Although the song was referring specifically to relationships, this is true of so many other situations: a tough job, a class that's giving you a hard time, an initially socially awkward moment, drudging through practice for a sport…
I've had this happen to me many times in life. Partly because I'm a fickle person by nature and always second guess my decisions. A girl I swore I wanted nothing to do with seemed like the greatest thing in the world the second I broke up with her. The one time this hasn't been the case is when I studied abroad. This was the one time in my life that I knew I was having the time of my life while it was happening. That's a really cool feeling to have. I remember FaceTime'ing my mom while walking through the cobblestone streets of Trastevere (my neighborhood) with a huge smile on my face explaining my new life on the other side of the world (between her sobs and complaints that she missed me).

IBM Q3 on Tap: UBS Describes Cognitive Computing Efforts
International Business Machines (IBM) reports Q3 earnings this afternoon, after the bell. The stock is up $1.10, or 0.6%, at $185.76, in advance of that report.
Analysts are modeling $24.79 billion in revenue and $3.96 per share.
In advance of the report, UBS's Steve Milunovich today reiterates a Buy rating on the stock, and a $235 price target, issuing a think piece exploring IBM's "cognitive computing" initiative, which was described by the company's director of research, John Kelly III, and by journalist Steve Hamm, in the new published book "Smart Machines: IBM's Watson and the Era of Cognitive Computing."
Milunovich describes how IBM is "thinking in 50-year waves" of computing, rather than the industry practice of thinking about major changes in paradigms only every 15 years.
IBM thinks programmable computers will be replaced by computers that throw out the traditional machine model developed by John von Neumann and instead emulate aspects of the human brain:
What's needed is a new architecture for computing, one that takes more inspiration from the human brain. Data processing should be distributed throughout the computing system rather than concentrated in the CPU. The processing and the memory should be closely integrated to reduce the shuttling of data and instructions back and forth. Because communication costs are relatively high, a more data-centric than processor-centric approach makes sense. IBM's Bijan Davari argues that moving away from the von Neumann architecture to put data at the center will speed computations, make sense of big data, and be more energy efficient. One possible application is studying multiple sclerosis, which is a very data intensive problem. Data stored on disk arrays is filtered by local processors before being sent to main processing. An evaluation of 100,000 variables that once took 27 hours now takes 11 minutes. The mainframe is scale-up while a Google data center is scale-out. IBM sees need for scale-in, where memory and logic are integrated through a three-dimensional package that stacks chips like pancakes. Kelly and Hamm introduce the hybrid memory cube, which should take up 90% less space and use 70% less energy. CMOS-integrated nanophotonics will be employed to speed communication between and eventually within chips. Moore's Law has about another decade to run before physical limits are reached and a fundamental rethinking of microelectronics will be needed, according to IBM. The successor to the transistor and integrated circuit has not been identified, but IBM thinks it might be piezotronics, in which sound waves in a tiny material act as a switch. Longer term, quantum computing holds promise. A quantum bit or qubit could simultaneously represent a 1 or 0, resulting in computing speeds orders of magnitude faster.
As far as the outlook for the financials and the stock, Milunovich is upbeat about IBM's cloud computing prospects, but also thinks the company has things to prove to investors:
We believe the company is well positioned for the new era of IT-as-a-service (ITaaS), which could result in moderate revenue growth acceleration. However, IBM is a show-me name until it rebounds from the disappointing 1Q miss and executes better. Services revenue should begin to grow in 2H as accounts recover from the financial crisis. Our price target of $235 is based on 14x our 2014 estimate, a discount to the market despite IBM's high ROIC and (usually) consistent earnings growth.

Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 06:52 AM MDT | By Neil
The latest edition of German magazine Maniac contains a preview of GTA IV which covers many of the details already provided in other publications. One new detail which stands out is the confirmation of the name of another radio station - Beat 102.7.
The name may be a parody of an old radio station broadcasting in Rockstar North's local area, Beat 106. GTA Vice City contained a radio station named Wave 103, a clear nod to Wave 102.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Cute and cozy room, gorgeous view from the balcony, nice host! ☺ Only 5 minutes to the metro station 'Clot' and 10 minutes to the Sagrada Familia. Everything important such as supermarkets, bakeries and little shops just around the corner. Highly recommendable!
I have been to Barcelona for 4 days at Monicas appartement and it was very nice! Monica has some things you dont have to buy (like coffee and tea) and the rooms are clean. Also the place is very easy to reach and even by feed you can go to the oldtown in half an hour. I would totally recommend the appartement!
Monica was very kind and helpful host, she provides you with all required information and is always reachable via mobile phone. The apartment is nice and in a great location. Barcelona is a fantastic city, I would highly recommend Monicas apartment.
We had a great time at Monica's apartment. Our room was small but really comfortable and clean. The location of the apartment is amazing - several stations of public transport nearby and only 10 minutes walk to Sagrada Familia. Monica is a friendly and helpful host. Definitely a good choice for a weekend trip to Barcelona!
The flat is well located and well equipped. The stay was perfect and I can totally recommend the room of Monica.
I with my friend stayed at Monica's apartment .We made a right choice. Monica is very hospitable , will never reject you to help .The apartment is situated near Sagrada familia ( only ten minutes on foot) and park Guel (15 minutes by bus , the bus station is on the corner of the house ).It takes u 5 minutes to get to metro station Clot , so u can go wherever u want easy . The area is safe and calm. But if u want to dance and so on , there are a lot of night clubs on the beach . U can go on foot (1 hour) or catch the train and go to metro station Barcelaneta . We are pleased with our trip , thanks for all, Monica
it has been a wonderful week end. the apartment is really near Sagrada Familia ( 10 minutes by walk), and near Train station Clot (it's the stop from the airport to the apartment).
in the apartment there are all the utilities from the kitchen, to the bathroom and a woderful terrace.
I'll be back as soon as possible
We spent one week at Monica's house. The apartment is nice and well placed; very near to the metro (Clot) and Sagrada Familia. Unfortunately in the last 2 days there was a problem in the bathroom, a great inconvenience.
Great location near the Sagrada Familia (10min walk) and the Clot metro station (airport connection train stops on this station). The room (B&W) is small but clean, with access to very nice roof terrace. Great choice for a few days stay in Barcelona.
Everything was fine. I really liked the roof terrance of the flat.

Walid Shoebat and Ben Barrack, FloydReports.com
A CIA/FBI agent was responsible for creating the first al-Qaeda training manual from classified military sources; he covertly moved up through the ranks undetected until the al-Qaeda spy, Egyptian born Ali Mohamed, was finally discovered. Though arrested in 1998, Mohamed's whereabouts and legal status remain unknown. The Fort Hood jihadist, Nidal Malik Hasan, benefited from the same faulty screening.
The Jordanian-born "reformed" jihadist Humam Al-Balawi deceived some anxious CIA agents concerning the whereabouts of Ayman al-Zawahiri. As he passed their guard, he detonated a suicide belt, killing the agents. We were the first to translate the sinister plan of this Taliban spy, which was missed by the CIA but was advertised on his Arabic website for the whole Arabic world to read:
When I drive my car at a traffic police station …my surroundings change by a push of a flash button. I will find myself martyred as I drive a booby trapped Laurie with a bomb heading towards the pagan guards…
Why isn't the CIA monitoring the Arabic words and connections of these people?
Whether it's the CIA or the military, sophisticated surveillance is proving inadequate and proper background checks of Middle Easterners aren't being done. Each example serves as another case in point. What makes us think that the State Department updated its virus protection program? Even more disconcerting than Ali and Al-Balawi is Hillary's "aide" and Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin, who has been with Hillary since 1996; we believe she was never properly screened and is well positioned to exploit her American connections for the benefit of Islamic radicals.

The Road to Justice
Sidebar: A New Start on Old Murders in Serbia
Slavko Curuvija was killed 15 years ago, but Veran Matić, a veteran journalist of Serbia's independent media, never forgot.
Curuvija, an influential independent newspaper owner in what was then Yugoslavia, was shot in the back on April 11, 1999, by two men outside his apartment building. Curuvija was well known for his criticism of President Slobodan Milosovic, and there was evidence implicating Milosovic's intelligence services in the attack—but no one was ever brought to justice. Other murders of journalists in what was then Yugoslavia also went unsolved, including the 2001 fatal assault on crime reporter Milan Pantic, and the death of Radoslava Dada Vujasinovic. Vujasinovic, who investigated corruption in Milosovic's government, was found in her apartment with gunshot wounds in 1994. Her death was labeled a suicide.

We had a great stay at his condo before our cruise. It was just as advertised and anything we needed was only a phone call away.
It was very clean when we arrived and the beds are very comfortable.
The condo is in a great location within walking distance to the CBD and Darling Harbour. We will defiantly be staying here again when we come back to Sydney.
Fabulous apartment, very spacious and clean, with a gorgeous view of the bridge and cityscape, lovely little touches by the host made us feel at home, very secure building and parking made all the difference I will definitely be booking this apartment again in the future
Appartment is very good located and has space enough for 4 to 5 people (one bedroom for adults, the other bedroom rather for 2-3 kids). Great is tennis-court and pool on the rooftop with amazing few.
The price was rather high and for this, in our opinion all details shoud be perfect (like dishwashing machine must work correctly, all lights should work, no broken chairs).
Very nice spacious apartment with a fantastic view of Sydney. Great location. We really enjoyed our stay.
We stayed at the apartment in April 2015 (2 adults and 2 children) and found it to be excellent. Great location (handy to transport and also easy to walk into town and around), great facilities, spacious, very comfortable and very clean and tidy. The one negative was dealing with Peter and his office staff. When asking for clarification or assistance, they were very defensive and their general communication was not great. Once they sort that out, I would have no hesitation in recommending the apartment as a great place to stay.
A perfect apartment with a perfect location.
The stay was comfortable & the location was very convenient. Thanks Peter :)
The apartment is in a good position, near the metro station, on bus routes, just a few minutes walk from Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, The Botanic Gardens and Central Station. Comfortable and well equipped though a bit dated. The weather was cold and the heating took a long time to warm the apartment up. The weather also meant we weren't able to take advantage of the large balcony. During our stay the hotel pool area was being refurbished but I'm sure it will be a great asset. There was nowhere to leave luggage after checking out, the hotel staff were friendly but we weren't treated as guests. There is a Thai restaurant on the ground floor which was very good.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Nice apartment , very clean and comfortable. The view is great . The neighborhood is pleasant and quiet, but with many bars and restaurants close from the residence.

State Health Care Plan: Traveling Eternity Road – on a One-Way Ticket
posted at 4:08 am on August 13, 2009 by Dafydd ab Hugh
This is so stunning, I'm still not sure what to make of it.
Several states already have the equivalent of ObamaCare's "government option;" one of those is Oregon.
Oregon is a blue state… in the last two decades, a very blue state:
- The last time it went for the Republican in a presidential race was a quarter century ago, for Ronald Reagan in 1984; Oregon even voted for Michael Dukakis in 1988.
- The last time it elected a Republican governor was even longer: 31 years ago (Victor G. Atiyeh). Every major elected official in the executive branch is currently a Democrat.
- Oregon has a Democratic senator (Ron Wyden, 100%) and about the most liberal of all "Republican" senators, Gordon Smith, 33%. (Smith's rating from the liberal ADA is 60%, nearly twice his rating from the American Conservative Union.)
- Oregon has five representatives in Congress; four of them (80%) are Democrats. Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR, 75%) is the lone Republican, and he's hardly a conservative.
- Democrats currently hold a 60% majority in both the Oregon State Senate and the Oregon House of Representatives.
So it's hardly surprising that Oregon enacted an assisted suicide law in 1994, and again in 1997, both times by a referendum of the citizens. And it's equally unsurprising — but instructive — that it also passed the Oregon Health Plan, created by doctor and Democratic state Sen. John Kitzhaber; it went into effect in 1994. Kitzhaber rode the health plan into the governor's officer, elected in 1994 and serving two terms.
The plan is called Oregon's Medicare/Medicaid program, but adults not qualified for either program can nevertheless be enrolled into OHP Standard.
The program has not exactly worked as intended; after costs nearly doubled in its first six years, new enrollments were frozen for four years, from 2004 through 2008; Oregon then held a lottery, in which tens of thousands of applicants applied — for 3,000 slots.
The Oregon Health Plan, more or less a real-world model of ObamaCare, is under tremendous pressure to cut costs. They have found a unique way of doing so: They no longer pay for life-saving chemotherapy for cancer patients with less than a 5% chance of survival for five years… but they will pay to help kill them:
Barbara Wagner has one wish – for more time.
"I'm not ready, I'm not ready to die," the Springfield woman said. "I've got things I'd still like to do."
Her doctor offered hope in the new chemotherapy drug Tarceva, but the Oregon Health Plan sent her a letter telling her the cancer treatment was not approved.
Instead, the letter said, the plan would pay for comfort care, including "physician aid in dying," better known as assisted suicide.
"I told them, I said, 'Who do you guys think you are?' You know, to say that you'll pay for my dying, but you won't pay to help me possibly live longer?' " Wagner said. [Hat tip to Sachi]
Dear readers, this is your future under ObamaCare.
But why in the world would the Oregon Health Plan brazenly suggest that she kill herself? That's easily explained:
[Dr. William Toffler] said the state has a financial incentive to offer death instead of life: Chemotherapy drugs such as Tarceva cost $4,000 a month while drugs for assisted suicide cost less than $100.
[Dr. Som Saha, chairman of the commission that sets policy for the Oregon Health Plan] said state health officials do not consider whether it is cheaper for someone in the health plan to die than live. But he admitted they must consider the state's limited dollars when dealing with a case such as Wagner's.
"If we invest thousands and thousands of dollars in one person's days to weeks, we are taking away those dollars from someone," Saha said.
It's government medicine; poor Barbara Wagner has no place else to go.
Adding insult to accessory to manslaughter, it appears that the Oregon government health bureaucracy hasn't even kept up with the advance of modern medicine:
The Oregon Health Plan simply hasn't kept up with dramatic changes in chemotherapy, said Dr. David Fryefield of the Willamette Valley Cancer Center.
Even for those with advanced cancer, new chemotherapy drugs can extend life.
Yet the Oregon Health Plan only offers coverage for chemo that cures cancer — not if it can prolong a patient's life.
"We are looking at today's … 2008 treatment, but we're using 1993 standards," Fryefield said. "When the Oregon Health Plan was created, it was 15 years ago, and there were not all the chemotherapy drugs that there are today."
Surprise, surprise on the Jungle Cruise tonight. So… under government medicine, Barack H. Obama's grandmother shouldn't get a hip replacement, because she's going to die soon anyway; Sarah Palin's son Trig, who has Down Syndrome, wouldn't get long-term treatment because Down is incurable; and Barbara Wagner begs for cancer treatment — and instead gets a not-so-subtle hint that she should contact a physician about how to "reduce the surplus population" by committing suicide.
There is really no nice way to spin this.
Fortunately, the company that manufactures Tarceva, Genentech, has decided to let Wagner have it for free… for now. But what about all the other Barbara Wagners in Oregon?
ObamaCare: Change you could die for.

Reviews of this property
Chris was the perfect host!
You cannot expect more. He was very friendly, he picked us up from the airport (!) and prepared breakfast for us - without charging.
If everyone would be that nice the world would be a better place.
5 of 5 stars!
Room was exactly the same as in pictures. We could we find juices, milk fruits and some snacks in the fridge. But what is most important Chris is a great guy who was really nice and helpful. He tried to make our life easier and gave us a lot of good advises about the city. We felt like at home and we are sure next time in Liverpool I am gonna book Chris apartment.
Our room was like it was shown the pictures, comfortable and well equipped as promised. The location of the apartment was great, good transport links.
Chris was a great host: always in a good mood, friendly and polite and very helpful... we had a great time and I can really recommend it (Liverpool and staying with Chris)!!!!
Thank you Chris for everything you have done for us!!!
Best wishes, Rhea and Hanni
Chris is a very sympathic and fantastic host. He gave us all advices for our journey and interessts, prepares fine breakfast with fresh milk delivered by the milkman at 5 a.m. and marmelades from Liverpool. The former doctor´s house can´t be more typical and much more sympathic. Unbelivable: in our room we found fresh fruits and a freshly filled refrigerator with sweeties, all sort of drinks, milk and so one. When we think back to our days in Liverpool, we think to our tours and to Chis. When we said good-bye it was somehow like leaving a friend.
We had a great time at Chris' house. Chris is very friendly and helpful. He picked us up from airport and told us useful information concerning Liverpool and all we needed during our stay.
We will definitely stay at his house again if we come back to Liverpool next time.
Chris is so great! Despite we spent only two days in Liverpool, during those days Chris made our lifes quite easy. He collected us from the station and took us back the day of departure when he didn't have to and he helped us in wathever we need. The chimney momment and breakfast time with him were just wonderfull (thank you so much Chris!). The house is large and nice and beakfast is huge with a lot of things to choose. We would definetly go back to Chris house whenever we get back to Liverpool.
Chris was a very friendly and helpful host. Picked us up from the station, gave us lots of tips about stuff to see etc.
House is great, nice clean, quiet room with everything you could need.
My first Wimdu experience, and a very positive one.
Our first experience in this type of accommodation could not be better.
The house, authentic, comfortable with all the amenities needed for a pleasant stay and will be in the most vibrant area of Liverpool, very well connected to it, both bus (stops at a hundred meters), and rail, a station 10 minutes walking.
The room, bright, spacious and comfortable.
But best of all, no doubt, our host and now friend, Chris.
Lovable (picked at Lime Street Station on arrival and took us to the airport when we left), attentive, always ready to help with information, patient understand when, despite our English and that for six days, She made us feel as in our own home.
We have every reason to return to this attractive city and one of them will be to come home from Chris. Thanks for everything !!!
Highly, highly recommended.
Nuestra primera experiencia en este tipo de alojamiento y no ha podido ser mejor.
La casa, auténtica, confortable, con todas las comodidades necesarias para una agradable estancia y sin estar en la zona más animada de Liverpool, muy bien comunicada con ésta, tanto por autobús (con paradas a un centenar de metros), como por tren, con una estación a 10 minutos caminando.
La habitación, luminosa, espaciosa y cómoda.
Pero lo mejor de todo, sin duda alguna, nuestro anfitrión y desde ahora amigo, Chris.
Amabilísimo (nos recogió en Lime Street Station a nuestra llegada y nos llevó al aeropuerto cuando nos marchamos), atento, siempre dispuesto a ayudarnos con sus informaciones, paciente a la hora de entendernos, pese a nuestro nivel de inglés y que durante seis días, nos hizo sentirnos como en nuestro propio hogar.
Tenemos muchas razones para volver a esta atractiva ciudad y una de ellas será la de volver a casa de Chris. Gracias por todo!!!
Muy, muy recomendable.
We spent 2 months in great Chris. Chris is a friendly host, available, open and listening. The house is spacious and very cute. It is located about 20 minutes from the center by bus, with a stop 2 minutes from the house. It is close to a supermarket, convenience stores, a pub and a park. A gym is 20 minutes. We are delighted with our stay.
Nous avons passé 2 mois super chez Chris. Chris étant un hôte sympathique, disponible, ouvert et à l'écoute. La maison est spacieuse et très mignonne. Elle se trouve a environ 20 minutes du centre en bus, avec un arrêt à 2 minutes de la maison. Elle est proche d'un supermarché, de supérettes, d'un pub et d'un parc. Une salle de sport se trouve à 20 mn. Nous sommes ravis de notre séjour.

We stayed in a small town called Lakehead (population 600), which consists of a few campsites and a market and restaurant serving them. We did have the luxury of wifi at the campsite's shop, and they also had a swimming pool and an outdoor TV area which was opened up when we got to the campsite. We arrived on a Saturday and the campsite was full which was nice - the smell of BBQ drifting by us from every direction! Some people were camping in their huge RV-Type caravans which look really luxurious. One family even had an electric palm tree set up and lit up outside their RV haha. Americans camp in style!
After a decent night's sleep in our tent we drove to Bailey Cove which had a hiking trail alongside the lake. It was pretty bare and narrow trail on a hill side with a steep drop-off down to the lake on one side and a steep rise covered with trees on the other side. We were paying good attention to where we were walking as a result and then had the shock of our lives when we loked up and saw a wolf about 20metres ahead of us sat right on the trail looking at us. We froze and tried to remember what you're supposed to do for a wolf encounter! I started yelling at it and moving towards it and thankfully it decided to walk away from us. We started walking back the way we came from thinking we could just wander back to the car, but when we looked back the wolf was right behind us and decided to follow us. I tried to scare him off again so he climbed up into the trees and went around me towards where stanzi was ahead of me! She quickly came back to me and we got back ahead of the wolf. We started back to the car again and the wolf stalked us all the way back! It even came into the car park which was surprising.
Thankfully it didn't follow us back to our campsite where we had our own BBQ for dinner that night. More campsite burgers – yumsers! We tried to relax that night and watched a bit of The Mentalist on Stanzi's laptop whist sat in the car... and in the darkness outside a deer crept up looking for food, right next to the car and our tent! We really were in the middle of nature!
The next day we went and hired a small fishing boat with a small 15hp motor attatched to the back of it, and we spent 4 hours boating around the lake and up the Sacremento River. It was really nice and relaxing and a great way to get a suntan! (or sunburnt in my case)
The next morning we left Shasta and headed out for a trip back to the coast through the Trinity National Park.

NEW ORLEANS — If the Super Bowl goes as well as the 49ers first practice, there's going to be another parade in San Francisco next week.
Coach Jim Harbaugh said Thursday that the team's first practice, a day earlier, turned out to be about as good as it gets.
"I would really like to have a photocopy of yesterday," Harbaugh said at his daily news conference. "That's what I would like to have (Thursday). The execution at practice, the energy at practice, a photocopy, a mimeograph, of what we had yesterday, that would be outstanding."
Harbaugh then launched into a several-minutes-long breakdown of numerous players, in particular the practice squad players, and how well they performed at practice Wednesday in the team's first full-blown workout since they arrived here in advance of the Super Bowl against the Baltimore Ravens.
Several times, Harbaugh referenced Wednesday's practice, using words such as "fantastic," "wonderful" and "exciting."
Backup defensive lineman Ricky Jean-Francois received the highest praise from Harbaugh.
"We couldn't block him yesterday," Harbaugh said. "We could not block him."
The proceedings from Wednesday have to come as welcome news to strong safety Donte Whitner.
On Tuesday, Whitner spoke at length about how the 49ers had a long way to go before they are ready for Sunday. He said the players were making too many mental mistakes and that those had to be eliminated in short order.
Harbaugh and his coaching staff must have pushed all the right buttons, for he sounded as if he could not have been any happier with how his team looked.
"It just reinforces what you believe, as a former player and coach, that you get better in football by playing football, by practicing football," Harbaugh said.
The 49ers practice against Thursday and Friday at the Saints year-round facility.

Engineering resources at your fingertips
By STEVE CONNOR, Cleaver-Brooks, Milwaukee, Wis.
One-third of a facility's energy bill can be directly attributed to the boiler room. Replacing an older boiler system is one way to achieve energy savings. Retrofitting is another. If retrofitting is the course of action, then it is important to identify the areas most likely to yield efficiency gains. The first area to consider is the combustion-controls system. New developments in boiler controls are creating opportunities for substantial efficiency gains. This article discusses options to help an existing boiler system produce measurable efficiency increases and fuel-cost decreases.

Despite widespread concern about the global economy, HVACR manufacturers appear optimistic heading into 2012. According to a recent survey of more than 1,000 International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (AHR Expo) exhibitors from around the world, 59 percent expect a "better year" in 2012, while 13 percent expect a "much better year." Twenty-four percent expect sales to be the "same," while only 4 percent expect a "worse year."
A variety of educational sessions, workshops, and certification programs designed to help HVACR professionals perform their jobs more effectively will be offered during the 2012 International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (AHR Expo), to be held Jan. 23-25 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
