Reviews of this property
Great apartment in a walkable distance from the historical center, excellent choice if you traveling by car as garage parking is included. Very good and useful hints from host about the city (ate the best ribs ever in the recommended near by restaurant).
Thanks for the nice weekend in Prague!
Very nice apartment. City location and easy to reach
Sehr schöne Wohnung. Stadtnahe Lage und gut zu erreichen
The location of the apartment was perfect. Through the nearby tram station, you could quickly change in the Prague 1 Part.
The apartment was nice and clean.
However, we had the description of the apartment interpreted differently.
We thought that we have 2 sleeping rooms and two bathrooms.
But that was not the case.
It had only one sleeping room and in the living room a sofa bed.
But this was still ok, as we were only there 2 days.
I think that the description should be different.
Another negative point was the Securitas in Loby.
They were friendly, but did not speak English and this was then quite unpleasant. They came to us a bit "helpless" before.
By and large it has but we liked it. The apartment, however, could be renovated, although once again for a short trip, this is completely ok.
If you are more than 4 people and not too long lives there, it is highly recommended.
Die Lage der Wohnung war optimal. Durch die nahe liegende Tramstation, konnte man schnell in den Prag 1 Teil wechseln.
Die Wohnung war schön und sauber.
Jedoch hatten wir die Beschreibung der Wohnung anders interpretiert.
Wir dachten, dass wir 2 Schlaf zimmer haben und zwei Badezimmer.
Das war aber leider nicht der Fall.
Es hatte nur ein Schlaf zimmer und in dem Wohnzimmer ein Schlafsofa.
Dies war aber trotzdem ok, da wir nur 2 Tage dort waren.
Ich finde dass die Beschreibung anders lauten sollte.
Ein weiterer Negativ Punkt waren die Securitas in der Loby.
Sie waren zwar freundlich, konnten jedoch kein Englisch und dies war dann recht unangenehm. Sie kamen uns ein bisschen "hilflos" vor.
Im Grossen und Ganzen hat es uns aber gefallen. Die Wohnung könnte zwar mal wieder renoviert werden jedoch für einen Kurztrip ist dies völlig ok.
Wenn man höchstens 4 Personen ist und nicht allzu lange dort wohnt, ist es sehr empfehlenswert.
Very nice and helpful lady at the office, apartment really spacious, great for four people. At the reception as nice as and elegantly. I would recommend.
Bardzo miła i pomocna Pani w biurze, mieszkanie rzeczywiście przestronne, super dla czterech osób. W recepcji równie miło co i elegancko. Polecam.
Very nice apartment in a quiet, very good reception can a distant ideal of downtown, have to circulate on foot and by public transport no problem to be in the city. For me it is an experience to renew.
Tres belle appartement au calme, tres bon accueil ideale un peut eloigne du centre ville, ont a circuler a pied et en transport aucun probleme pour se situer dans la ville. Pour ma part c'est une experience a renouveller.
It is a new apartment, with good finishes in general, flooring, bathroom and kitchen, two rooms :, one of the room the dining room, the other bedroom with separate bathroom. A part has a toilet facing the room.
It is an apartment for rent and not fully conditioned to live; There is little furniture: a double bed, a bedside table, wardrobe in bedroom, a sofa, a table and 4 chairs exactly, which lack the necessary furniture in a small housing fitted. You can just leave things, small objects, on the dining table
Regarding the kitchen, although it is fully equipped with appliances, missing kitchen utensils, two cups, two glasses, 4 plates flat, 4 soperos and two small, cubiertosd and cocinsa knives, 4 pots, a colander and a casserole, but lack pans (to make tortillas or fry meat or fish) iron and a lot of small cookware normally.
Lack neatness in soils.
It lies near the railway station in Prague 1st district and about 25 minutes from the center (astronomical clock). You walk 7m reach the tram stop that takes you downtown or to the Castle. Near (between 2 minutes and 10 minutes walk) but there is little trade, is 3 medium supermarkets. Opposite is a shop with articles of prime necessity.
In short it would be an excellent apartment with a little more conditioning and kitchen furniture.
Es un apartamento de nueva construcción, con buenos acabados en general, pavimentos, baño y cocina, con dos ambientes:, uno el del estar comedor cocina, el otro el dormitorio con su baño independiente completo. A parte dispone de un aseo que da al estar.
Es un piso para alquiler y no esta acondicionado plenamente para vivir; hay poco mobiliario: una cama de matrimonio, una mesilla de noche, armario en dormitorio, un sofa, una mesa y 4 sillas exactamente, con lo que faltaria el pequeño mobiliario necesario en una vivienda acondicionada. Solo puedes dejar las cosas, pequeños objetos, sobre la mesa del comedor
Respecto a la cocina, si bien se halla totalmente equipada de electrodomesticos, faltan utensilios de cocina, hay dos copas, dos vasos, 4 platos planos, 4 soperos y dos pequeños, cubiertosd y cuchillos cocinsa, 4 ollas, un escurridor y una cazuela, pero faltan sartenes (para hacer tortillas o freir carne o pescado) una plancha y un sinfin de pequeños utensilios para cocinar de manera normal.
Falta pulcritud en los suelos.
Se encuentra cerca de la estación de trenes, en el distrito Praga 1 y a unos 25 minutos andando del centro (reloj astronomico). Andando 7 m se llega a la parada del tranvia que te lleva al centro o al Castillo. Cerca, (entre 2 minutos y 10 minutos andando)aunque hay poco comercio, se encuentra 3 supermercados medianos. Enfrente hay una tienda con articulos de primera necesidad.
En resumen seria un apartamento excelente con un poco mas de acondicionamiento de mobiliario y utensilios de cocina.
Near to the center of the city by bus even the bus stop is near.
Shops like Tesco are in front of the building so you can buy food, drinks from 7 AM to 9 PM!
No air conditioning although in the flat there are two boards to adjust it, the owner answered me that in the center of Prague it's not allowed. During our days the flat was at 29ºC all the day so very difficult to be inside.
Mosquitos, a lot. as we couldn't open the terrace due to them and the temperature was very high, it was difficult to pass our days.
Reception in the building, no english spoken.
You have to go to a different office (near the main train station) to take the keys and the information.
Some things were broken (flush in the toilet, some bed clothes).
And the worst thing, there are not courtains to protect against the sun in the morning, so it seems you are sleeping in a terrace. The first day we were awake at 5.45 AM!! The rest of the days we avoid to sleep in the bedroom and we decided to sleep in the salon where the sun didn't shine so strong.
Very friendly and very clean
Sehr freundlich und sehr Sauber
Ansich good apartment (one must not be fooled by the word elite) for the price and good contact. Additional agreements are difficult.
Ansich gute Wohnung (man darf sich nicht von dem Wort Elite täuschen lassen)für den Preis und guter Kontakt. Nebenabreden sind schwierig.

Watch two militant atheists barbarically thrash it out in this post-apocalyptic interview from beyond the thunderdome. This interview has everything you'd expect from militant atheists going at it with each other: blood, violence, death, ass-less chaps, gay monkey on wolverine sex, abortion sacrifices to a godless universe, Panda rape, and an appearance by Tom Jones.
OK, so maybe militant atheists aren't as militant as all the militant theists make them out to be.

Tank: All Glass 37 Gallon 30x12x22
Stand and Canopy: Custom made and finished in Black
Filtration: Fluval 304 with foam pre filters, one tray of bio balls, one tray of ceramic media, and one tray of Seachem Renew.
Heating: Hydor ETH 201
Day Lighting: Icecap 2 bulb retrofit kit w/430 ballast and 2-24 URI Aquasun 75 watt bulbs controlled by an Intermatic heavy duty 15 amp digital timer
Night Lighting: 2 CurrentUSA Lunar Lights Nocturnal Blue controlled by an Intermatic digital timer
Substrate: Eco Complete
CO2 system: 5 lb Aluminum cylinder, Milwaukee MA957 regulator with JBJ bubble counter, Milwaukee SMS122 PH Monitor/Controller, DC model 2 reactor
Fauna: White Cloud Mountain Minnows, Rummy Nose Tetras, Corydoras paleatus, Ancistrus sp. Bristlenose Plecostomus, Red Ramshorn Snails, Amano Shrimp, Red Cherry Shrimp
Flora: Blyxa Japonica, Hottonia Palustris, Alternanthera Reineckii, Myriophyllum Matogrossensse, Limnophila Aromatica, Dwarf Llobelias, Polygonum K, Eichhornia Diversifolia, Cabomba Caroliniana, Red Tiger Lotus, Eichhornia Azurea, Echinodorus Latifolius, Java Fern
Step 1: Bulkheads with intake/return fittings.
I decided on ¾ inch schedule 40 double threaded bulkheads. Since I would be using a Fluval 304 as the primary filter, I chose ¾ inch bulkheads to match the 5/8 inch tubing of the Fluval as close as possible. Hopeful that using ¾ inch would minimize the flow effects of stepping up and stepping down the plumbing, I gambled. Since the difference in diameter is only 1/8 inch, I hypothesized the flow effects would be negligible and it is so.
I really like the flexibility of Loc-Line components and wanted to use them for the return which would require a threaded fitting for the Loc-Line 3/4 inch Ball Socket x MPT Connector Loc-Line 3/4 inch Ball Socket x MPT Connector - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store. I decided to have commonality with the bulkheads and used double threaded for the intake and return Double Threaded Bulkhead Fitting - 3/4in - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store. The back side of the bulkhead is also threaded to facilitate the use of threaded hose barb fittings Insert Elbow Fitting - 3/4 inch MPT x 3/4 inch Insert - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store. Threaded hose barb fittings would give me a secure connection (and feeling) while giving me the ability to remove them if needed unlike glued slip fittings. I initially bought several types of return nozzles to test the flow characteristics so I could pick the one that matched my needs. Jumping ahead a bit, after testing, the ½ inch x 2.5 inch flared nozzle Loc-Line 1/2in X 2.5in Flare Nozzle - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store worked perfectly; this required a 3/4 inch x 1/2 inch Ball Socket Adapter Loc-Line 3/4 inch x 1/2 inch Ball Socket Adapter - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store to connect to the ¾ inch ball socket connector. I used a ¾ inch MPT Overflow Strainer Overflow Strainer - 3/4 inch MPT - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store for the return. All bulkheads and intake/return fittings were purchased at Marine Depot.
Below are some pictures of the bulkheads and intake/return fittings:

If you have not put loc-line together before, the pliers they sell are very useful. Loc-line is not difficult to disassemble but is a bear to put together without the pliers. Yes, they are expensive to buy if only needed once. Try to borrow a set if you can. I have 4 tanks with ½ and ¾ loc-line so the pliers are a necessity for me.

Step 2: Drill tank.
Drilling a tank is a scary proposition, one mistake and the tank is ruined. It needs to be said that drilling a tank with tempered glass is a bad idea. A lot of tanks are being made today with all sides tempered, in the past the bottom may have been, but nowadays it needs to be checked thoroughly. We will be drilling the back glass and it is not tempered. Luckily, my good friend RMC offered to help me in this area. Before drilling an in-use tank planning and organization is required. A holding tank was needed to house the fish and plants. Since my first drilled tank project took almost two weeks to complete, I would need to plan on holding my plants and fish for a couple of weeks, possibly longer since I would be designing/building an untested manifold system. I setup a 50 gallon Rubbermaid container and used the tank equipment while the tank was under construction. A trick RMC taught me: When draining a tank, shove all the substrate in one corner, get a 1 inch tube and start a siphon, shove the tube into the substrate, the substrate will siphon out of the tank quite quickly. This is a really neat trick that saves a lot of time removing the substrate and gunk.
As previously stated, RMC helped me drill the tank; he has a thread on how to do this here: (Fellowship of the Fish :: View topic - 006 - Drilling Tanks & Central Filtration [ Guest ]. We placed the holes in the center of the tank, offsetting them about 1 inch from each other to allow the tubing to run side by side. Placing the return hole 1/3 of the way down from the top and the intake hole 1/3 of the way up from the bottom worked well on the 55 drilled previously, so we located these holes the same way.
If you have never installed bulkheads before, gasket on the inside, tighten the nut by hand. Using a wrench and applying too much torque to the bulkhead nut will break the glass, strip the nut, or cause it to leak. Placing the threaded barb fitting into the bulkhead before tightening the bulkhead helps locate the threaded barb fitting into the proper position (down). Make sure you use Teflon tape on the threads of the bulkhead and threaded barb fitting. Do not apply too much torque on the threaded barb fitting or the bulkhead will split.
I attached standard ¾ inch tubing to the threaded barb fitting and used a hose clamp for extra security. Since we offset the holes earlier, the tubing rests next to each other.
For the transition into the stand I used 3/4 inch Slip x 3/4 inch Insert elbow barb fittings (Inser Elbow Fitting - 3/4 inch Slip x 3/4 inch Insert - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store) . These are the same as the threaded barb fittings but are slip fit instead of threaded. Again, I used hose clamps for added security.
So now we have the intake and return coming out of the tank, taking a 90 degree and entering the stand with another 90 degree. This is where the manifold will begin.
Below are some pictures to help illustrate Step 2.
Bulkhead Holes
Bulkheads Installed
Tubing Installed
Here is a look from the top of the tank.
Step 3: Design the Manifold
My first attempt at drilling a tank and removing all equipment was a 55 gallon. Some pictures are located here: (Fellowship of the Fish :: View topic - 001 - 55 gallon reworked [ Guest ]. On the 55 gallon, I used 2 filters so connecting the equipment was relatively easy, one filter gets the CO2 reactor and one filter gets the Hydor heater. On this tank, I am using one filter so the equipment needed to be linked together. Every bend in the filter tubing slows the flow and generates heat. It became my priority to minimize the bends in this setup. Studying the properties of the drilled 55 gallon and using the experience gained, I decided on making a looped manifold out of PVC.
Step 4: Gather Parts.
When purchasing PVC fittings, always buy extra. They can be returned if not used but, it is very frustrating to stop a project for lack of a 90 degree fitting. I put the whole manifold together before gluing to ensure I did not leave something out. Look at the entire project and ask yourself, how will I get this apart for cleaning, disassembly, etc? Another important consideration, how and where will this fit into the stand and be secured? It may help to make a drawing for reference while purchasing parts. I used 2 sizes of PVC for this project ¾ and 1.5. Basically the reactor side is 1.5 and the heater side is ¾. The feed PVC is 1.5. I incorporated as many threaded fittings as possible into the manifold in case I needed to take something apart unforeseen and since this is a first generation manifold, I may want/need to make modifications later on. BTW, all the PVC fittings I used were found at Home Depot, Lowes, or Menards.
Here are some pictures of PVC parts to reference and help illustrate:
Threaded Union (typical)
Threaded Ball Valve (typical)
T (typical)
Slip x Slip 90 degree (typical)
Slip x FPT 90 degree (typical)
Male Adapter
Hose Barb Fitting
Threaded x Threaded Bushing
Slip x Slip Bushing
Slip x FPT Bushing
Step 5: Piece the Manifold Together
Before starting to piece the manifold together, I need to inform you of the tools required. Besides common hand tools you will need a strap wrench and PVC cutters (these cutters work on PVC up to 1 in diameter, I use a miter saw to cut PVC larger that 1). The PVC Cutter and Strap Wrench can be found at Home Depot or Lowes. Here are some pictures of these tools:
Strap Wrench
PVC Cutters
I started with my 2nd generation External Inline CO2 Reactor; I call it the DC model 2. Here is a link to my 1st generation External Inline CO2 Reactor, the DC model 1. Fellowship of the Fish :: View topic - 005 - DIY External Inline CO2 Reactor [ Guest ] I no longer use this model but do make it for other hobbyist.
The main difference between the DC model 1 and the DC model 2 is the model 2 has provisions for an inline PH probe mounted on the reactor. Here is a link to the inauguration of the DC model 2 and my first drilled tank. Fellowship of the Fish :: View topic - 001 - 55 gallon reworked [ Guest ] Since I had the length already established by using the DC model 2, it was pretty easy adapting the heater and turning these parts into a looped manifold. As you can see in this picture, I transitioned from 1.5 inch PVC to ¾ PVC using a male adapter on the output of the reactor.
Transition from 1.5 PVC to ¾ PVC illustrated
I used unions on both sides of the heater. The reason for this is if you glued the fittings together and had a leak or needed to swap out the heater, the heater may get turned in a bad position tightening up the fittings. With unions installed the heater stays positioned and the needed movement is done within the unions. Here is a picture of the unions installed on either side of the heater. I know it is hard to understand, even harder to explain; just one of those things you need to see to understand.
Unions installed on both sides of the heater illustrated
On either side of the unions is a Bushing ¾ slip x ½ fpt bushing. The ½ fpt screws onto the heater barb. Care must be taken getting the correct size, take the heater to the store with you. The bushing must screw down onto the fitting which means it must let the barb pass into the bushing. I tried several bushings before I found one that was perfect. Be extremely careful putting these bushings onto the fittings. It is very easy to snap the fitting on the heater if you over tighten the bushing. Make sure you use Teflon tape on the threads of the heater fitting. It is difficult to visualize the bushing connection in this picture due to the fastener that is installed around the bushing. The bushing is threaded onto the heater barb fitting and is glued into the union end.
Bushing installation illustrated
I installed a threaded ball valve so the manifold could be isolated for removal from the stand. Here is a picture illustrating the location of the threaded ball valve.
Threaded ball valve location illustrated
The other side of the manifold is isolated using the shutoff on the Fluval fitting. Here is a picture of the Fluval fitting connected to the inlet of the CO2 reactor.
CO2 reactor inlet shut off illustrated
The manifold is disconnected from the stand at 2 unions, one for the inlet and one for the return. Here is a picture of the unions. The union on the left is connected to the heater hard plumbing and the union on the right is connected to the Fluval tubing.
Stand union disconnects illustrated.
Here is a picture of the stand top with the manifold removed

The PH probe is located upstream from the CO2 injector. It works great and one more piece of equipment out of the tank.

Here is a picture of the completed manifold.

All Done!
Works great .DC
That is...simply...AMAZING!! Perhaps you should market the complete design and make a business :thumbsup:
It is indeed very neat and tidy. Great documentation.
As always DC, you're a wizard! Fantastic documentation and an awesome design! I know I'll be looking up your threads whenever I start my next DIY project.
... haha, maybe one of these days I'll actually get to meet you in person too! ;)
Looks great! Whoo hoo!! Nice to see my red ramshorns thriving in your tanks!
looks very nice, and clean as well.
my only question is the following; regarding the location of the pH probe, aren't you concerned that you will be getting readings that are higher than the pH levels you would see in the tank?
considering the probe is in a small quantity of water compared to the quantity of water the probe would measure the pH in the tank?
does that make sense?
Yet another marvel! :)
I am almost finished my RO water storage, primarily based on your other thread. Isnt brain surgery but it made things much easier seeing what someone else had done. ;) As always thanks for sharing! AND great job!
I have one question...is your pH probe upstream or downstream of the co2 input? Wont this give different readings being so close to source of co2?
I have modified my water storage a little, just at the 55 gallon drum. I moved the pump outlet to the back so I could store the water changer in the front hole. This allows me to recirculate the water so it does not become stagnant during storage. Here is what it looks like now, compare it with the other pics in my DIY link below.....DC
Wow! That's just another example of truly beautiful plumbing work DC! I am humbled. And I love your use of unions. It makes a world of sense, and will definately be incorporated into my next plumbing job!
Thanks for the very well presented information, and of course, the inspiration!
You give us all a high mark to shoot for.:thumbsup:
Awesome howto and project. Thank you.
Wow, you guys are setting a new standard for plumbing. It looks tidy, earthquake proof and marvelous documentation. But I will never have the balls to drill into a new 120 gallon tank or larger. I'll have to order that and follow your plan to the T on the bulkheads and plumbing the underside. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Thanks for sharing!
One query... And maybe I missed this in the thread, but how did you arrive at the size of the PVC for the manifold? And have you lost much flow or thrust compared to the straight Fluval 304? TIA
That is incredible. Nice work. How much does it effect the flow in your fluval? I am asking because I have a 304 as well that is acting strictly as a surface skimmer and was considering making a reactor for it. I dont however, want to restrict the flow too much..

Big, barrel-chested - with King Kong-sized hands and size-18 feet - he looks terribly familiar.
"I coach a team," he says, softly. "A basketball team." It's Pero Cameron; of course it is. Only our most talented basketballer of all time. For two decades, he barnstormed around the world and, they say, nearly made the NBA. Nearly. Still, he led New Zealand to fourth at the 2002 World Championships - and made the Tournament Team. Not bad. He grins. "Well ... Mum was happy."
He retired in 2010 and lives on the Gold Coast. "I moved there with the whanau in 2007. Played for the Blaze and we stayed on. We love it. The weather's unbelievable. It's changed our world."
Cameron's coaching these days and is taking the New Zealand U20 team to Tasmania for the Australian Champs. It's a good team, he says. He's much happier talking about his charges than himself.
Like Tai Webster, 17, who top-scored for the Tall Blacks at the 2012 World Champs and - you won't know this - was part of the New Zealand team that won the inaugural FIBA 3x3 youth world champs (that's three-on-three ball on a half-court).
Sadly unavailable is Steve Adams, 19, brother of Valerie, who's tipped to be a top-five NBA draft pick: "He's an unbelievable talent. This kid is seven feet. Wears size-21 shoes. Runs 100m in 11 seconds-something. Can run and jump and put his chin on the rim. He's phenomenal."
Cameron's eyes are afire. He loves this game, even if it means he's away from home for months at a time. "But Skype's wonderful, isn't it? I hear from my daughter, Layla - the 7-year-old - every night.
"I'll be asleep and I'll hear, 'Do Do Do Do' ... and it's her. She'll say: 'Mum said 'no', but can I do this?"' He laughs again. "No-ho-ho."
Just normal stuff, he says. His boys, Tobias, 13, and Flynn, 12, are teenagey and not nearly as loquacious. Chips off the old block.
"Yeah, they both play for Queensland. Age group." Their future allegiance? "For as long as they live in my house, it's New Zealand. If they want to play for someone else, they can start paying rent."
Cameron: "Passive acceptance - is that the phrase? Shit happens when you're flying and you've gotta learn to handle it. People who don't ... well, you see them in turmoil for the whole flight. They get all wound up, and it takes them three days to get over it. You've just gotta chill. Oh, and hydrate."

The Greatest Chargers Of All Time: Wide Receivers
Lance Alworth, widely considered to be the best player in AFL history. "Bambi" had a rare combination of athletic ability and grace, leading to a stellar career and his eventual Hall of Fame induction in 1978 (the first AFL player inducted into the Hall Of Fame). He is #1 in team history with 9584 yards receiving, and he also holds team records for receiving yards in a season, and average yards per catch (season and career), career receiving TD's, and most consecutive games with a catch.
Other wide receivers nominated as Greatest Chargers Ever include:
Wes gained 6132 yards receiving as a Charger between 1981-1987, while scoring 41 TD's over that timeframe. Wes was the replacement for John Jefferson, after JJ was traded to Green Bay following an ill-advised hold-out. His 129-yards per game in 1982 is still an NFL record.
Nicknamed The Ghost, I'll be the first to admit that I know nothing about Gary Garrison. If you can believe Wikipedia, he holds the SDSU record for TD receptions with 26, and played for the Bolts from 1966-1976, gaining 7533 yards and scoring 58 TD's. Gary had some good years for the Chargers following their AFL Championship era, but I'm afraid that he may lose out in fan voting based in a lack of name recognition alone.
JJ spent 3 spectacular years with the Chargers, becoming the first player to gain 1000+ yards receiving in each of his first three years in the league. He easily could have been the Greatest Charger Ever...had he not decided to hold-out before the 1981 season. The hold-out got his talented hands and inflated ego kicked off the team, and he never had another 1000+ yard season in his career.
Joiner played 11-years for the Chargers, gaining 9203 yards receiving and scoring 47 TD's for the team. Joiner was extremely reliable and built a special bond with QB Dan Fouts throughout the Air-Coryell years. He made the Pro Bowl 4-times, and has the distinction of being the last AFL player to retire from Pro-Football. At the time of his retirement, Joiner was the NFL career leader with 750 receptions. Bill Walsh called Joiner "the most intelligent, the smartest, the most calculating receiver the game has ever known."
Martin was a Charger from 1994 to 1997, teaming with QB Stan Humphries to average over 1000-yards per year as a Bolt, by far the best 4-year period of his career. Most memorably, Martin was on the receiving end of the longest reception in team history, a 99-yard catch and dash to the end-zone in 1994. He also scored a touchdown in Super Bowl XXIX.
Anthony Miller was a great wide receiver on some bad Chargers teams, leaving before the team's 1994 Super Bowl season. As a Charger he gained 5582 yards receiving and scored 37 TD's. As the team's only serious receiving threat for most of his career, he averaged 930 yards per year with the Bolts.
Norton was one of the stars of the early Sid Gillman Chargers' teams until the arrival of Lance Alworth. He played from 1960-1966, gaining 3486 yards receiving and scoring 27 TD's. In 1961 and 1962 Norton was an AFL All-Star.
Charger fans, you get to pick five receivers from this list- far too many in my opinion. The problem that most fans will have is deciding between a few names who don't immediately come to mind when you think about the Greatest Chargers Ever. Hopefully this will help you give guys like Garrison and Norton their due.

I like Charlie Joiner--a clutch receiver who never complained. I've been a fan since the LA Chargers were born. Go Bolts--maybe this year is our year.

Chargers dream team is Fouts, Wes, JJ, Kellen, Joiner, and LT.
Lance Alworth?

Alworth is the first guy mentioned :)

Most memorable Alworth play for me was actually on defense against the Jets in the old Balboa Stadium. (Namath was a rookie that year.) Lance ran down an interception and saved a TD. He looked so small and fragile in person. But he was tough as nails and never gave up on a play.
Gary Garrison was to Alworth what Joiner was to JJ, steady, reliable and unspectacular. I miss those mid 60s Chargers.
But JJ was the best I ever saw. His stoopid ego just got in the way...
Getting Chandler after JJ was banished to GB was an amazing rebound - he was unreal and also he was an excellent punt returner. But I often wondered what SD would have been like with JJ - he was electric. Perhaps no better, as their inferior D brought them down.
Losing JJ was a heartbreak, but the offense was still loaded. Losing Fred Dean that same year was like taking away Merriman from the defense. They couldn't get off the field. It was painful watching him wreak havoc for the Niners as they went on to win their first SB.
I worked with Dan Fouts in his post-NFL days (ABC sports). One day during a production meeting, we were all just sititng around...eating sandwhiches, etc. We started talking about Dan's Charger days. Usually Dan doesn't like to talk much about his career/team/teammates--because he's a pretty private person/a loner. But on this day...when someone asked him who HE thought was the best-ever WR? His reply:
Wes Chandler
He said JJ had pure raw talent...Joiner the dedication and smarts...but he said Wes as just a special player.

LT??? When are charger fans gonna get over this overrated quitter! If you breathe on him he'll fall to the ground. Chuck Muncie would own him, little train james would've schooled him. Thanks to LT and the stupid charger fans we gave up probably the best back in the league right now in Michael Turner, we would be unstoppable in '09/10 this season with turner. Thanks LT can't wait to see you quit in the playoffs like every other year!!!!!
Chargers have had some great receivers. Lance Alworth along with Paul Warfield of the Dolphins were the best deep threat receivers of all time. Randy Moss is challenging them, but I honestly don't think he could have played and survived in the '60s and '70s, he would have been killed.
Charlie Joiner is another one of my favorite Chargers. You asked about Gary Garrison, he was a solid receiver, reminds me of Bob Chandler if you want to compare him to another famous wide receiver.
wes, alworth, jj......not just the top three chargers but all in the top ten of all time along with rice,carter,brown,warfield,lofton,sharpe and largentswannstallworthbiletikoffmonkhutson
if garyy garrison could have played with dan fouts on air coryell ie would have been amazing
he was a truly gifted receiver in college and the pros check his stats huge ave per catch

Help I may have a problem
Out of curiosity I walked out to the beehives tonight to see if there was any action at the entrance (after dark, about 9:00 pm). To my surprise, the bees are bearding around the entrance of the hive. I didnt expect this because its not hot outside tonight (mid 60′s).
Then I noticed there were a lot of dead bees in front of the hive. Looks like it could be a hundred. Could this be robbing? Here are some notes on the hives:
*Both of my hives are being top fed from the inside with 1:1 sugar water.
*The hive with the bearding on the entrance and dead bees in front was started with a package last Tuesday I guess it would be considered a weak hive. The other hive was started with a 5-frame nuc.
*I picked up a few of the dead bees and a lot of them look like drones.
Is it possible that the nuc-started hive is robbing the package started hive?
Or are the package bees just forcing out the drones to conserve resources?
Here is a pic of the hive entrance:
And here are the dead bees in front:

Hello to all!!!I'm new here so please somebody out there I need help here is my problem:I have an older block from the 70's 350 chevy motor. I have fresh fuel coming in no bad gas or anything like that. I have spark as well giving out even checked the timing which is set as well had carb completely rebuild with guaranteed from a local shop. Motor turns but will not stay on everything is pretty much all new or replaced. What am I missing that is not making the car stay on? I really want this car to run already! please anybody out there that could help please let me know I really don't want to bring it to a shop. I did all the work myself checked everything before I started and nothing is happening. What I did notice was gas is not sucking into carb but when I pump carb gas goes right in so what gives? is there vacuum? I have a 650 holley street fighter avenger please let me know what you think I'm doing wrong or should be doing?
Try this first:1.Spray carb clean lightly over the carb while a friend cranks the engine.2.If the engine keeps running as long as your spraying the carb clean, then I would say you have a fuel related problem.3.Check for a plugged fuel filter, faulty fuel pump, or a very low float level in the carb. Not allowing fuel to come into the carb to get to the engine.4.PLEASE NOTE DON'T OVER DUE THE CARB CLEAN. Just short bursts of the spray over the carburetor will keep it running, long enough to diagnose your problem....Sure sounds like a fuel related problem...Bob aka-pepsi1
Thanks Bob aka-pepsi1 I will try it that way! I'm just getting anxious to have it fired up! I also wanted to mention the motor has the headers on so its not running on a full exhaust. I know it will be loud but will it effect the carb from turning over? Also I put in roller rockers on and I know I have to adjust them as the motor turns but can compression be the issue as well? The fuel I'm running is premium gas the expensive gas I also had bad gas in the tank which I drain but I didn't clean out the fuel cell so when I put new gas in seems like the gas was very dark could it be that the tank needs to be cleaned out? Thanks for the response too
The open headers should not stop it from starting. You may need to choke the engine a little. Headers when they are open IE on a race car the engine will go lean. Because you have NO Restriction on the exhaust or back pressure. If you can get the Rocker adjusted properly. If they aren't set-up right you may not be making enough compression to fire the cylinders. Each cylinder needs compression to make power.So you need to do these things.1.Set the valves correctly. Adjust the rockers. Its time consuming this way but you will have the valves set correctly. 2.Disarm the ignition, pull the power lead out of the cap, or remove the ignition fuse.3.Remove all the spark plugs4.Working on one cylinder at a time. #1 Bring it up on the compression stroke. 5.You can put your thumb over the plug hole, or use a compression gauge. Your thumb would be faster. Have a helper tap the starter until that cylinder pops. 6.Then loosen the intake while spinning the push rod between your fingers. Now with the adjusting nut, turn it in CW until you get drag on the push rod. Now adjust the nut CW 1/4 to 1/2 turn in. Then lock the center allen head screw down.7.Do the same on the Intake Valve. Then finish the other 7 cylinders. Don't forget the power to your distributor. Gap the spark plugs at .032 to.035.Bob
I think we would first need to get a little info about your motor and how you got here like:Was this motor running (did you witness it running) and did you just change a few things and now it doesn't?Or: Did you completely rebuild this motor and now it won't fire up?Or: You've never seen this motor run beforeBecause that will change what you need to look at, if you've never seen it running you'll need to determine if it actually will run, and if you rebuilt the entire motor you'll need to determine whether you've got things done right like ring gap, cam to crank timing (timing chain), distributor clocking, ect.If it's just a motor that you've just changed a few things and now it won't run we just need to determine everything you changed and how it all needs to be set to run, if you've changed the rocker arms they've got to be set right or the motor will not run, if they're set to tight or loose there's a possibility that they could bend valves, pushrods, break springs, punch holes in the piston tops, ect., so you've GOT to get the rockers set right (also need to determine first if it's a hydraulic cam or a solid cam) but everything else that was done also needs to be listed, or there would be no way to correctly diagnose the problem.
Thanks Bob I will try these things first to see I will get back to you on the results wish me luck
I've had this motor for a couple of years before I pulled it out of car and had it rebuilt completely so yea I had a running car and know what I have for a motor. Motor was originally from a chevy k5 blazer. So now it won't fire up after I just put motor back in car. A friend of mine has been helping me with the adjustment of the rockers. I have a solid cam in the motor. We adjusted the timing checked to see if have spark I went over it many times the only thing I plan to do is remove the spark plugs to see if maybe they are wet and try again this weekend. Any suggestions you have I would appreciate
IMO, you need to check, recheck, and possibly triple check that the valves are adjusted correctly. If they are too tight, they won't close and the motor will not start. You need to make sure you have the distributor in the right way. They are very easy to install in the wrong direction. Make sure all the plug wires are going to the correct terminal on the distributor cap.
Since you have a solid cam I've found this is the most accurate way to adjust the valves, first figure out what your valve lash is, sometimes it's different on the intake and exhaust valves1. Hand turn the engine in its normal direction of rotation while watching the exhaust valve on that particular cylinder. When the exhaust valve begins to open, stop and adjust that cylinder's intake valve. (When the exhaust is just beginning to open, the intake lifter will be on the base circle of the lobe, so the intake is the one we can now adjust.) 2. Use a feeler gauge, set to the correct valve lash, and place it between the tip of the valve stem and rocker arm. Adjust until you arrive at the proper setting and lock the adjuster in place. 3. After the intake valve has been adjusted, continue to rotate the engine, watching that same intake valve. The intake valve will go to full lift and then begin to close. When the intake is almost closed, stop and adjust the exhaust valve on that particular cylinder. (Again, when we see the intake valve almost closed, we are sure that the exhaust lifter is on the base circle of the lobe.) Use the feeler gauge and follow the procedure described before in step 2. 4. Both valves on this cylinder are now adjusted, so move to your next cylinder and follow the same procedure again. In the future you may find shortcuts to this method, but it still remains the best way to do the job correctly.After you get the motor started up and run it for the cam breakin period you'll need to go back and adjust the valves warm. I don't know if this forum will allow links but heres an article about setting valves like I've detailed above with some pictures that might help: http://www.dragzine.com/news/how-to-set-and-adjust-valve-lash-like-a-pro/Also double check your distributor, it's real easy to get it in 180 degrees off, the easiest way to tell would be to take all the plugs out and then find number 1 cylinder, then ( I always use my finger but some will say not recommended LOL) stick something larger than the spark plug hole where the #1 plug was and spin the motor over until you get the whoosh of air coming out, that means you're getting ready to come up to the top dead center of that cylinder. If you then look at the distributor rotor it should be pointing towards the #1 plug wire with the cap on.If it is the distributor is close enough that you should be able to get it fired and then set it with a timing light after it's running.Good Luck

Back in late August when the Great D.C. Earthquake struck and shook some places up, reports came in that the Washington Monument had suffered cracks and was to be closed indefinitely. A feminist writer I read every so often personally wished for the whole thing to crumble. Not for reasons of what some might view as purely political relevance, she wanted it to fall because she saw it as nothing more than a "giant erection."
Arguments over sexual imagery in the modern world aside, the problem with this statement is that it's completely and utterly void of any historical context or understanding, instead employing modern standards and philosophy exclusively to this reading of the monument's meaning. Such statements are particularly damaging to rational thinking, for they presume that any particular event is a spontaneous point in time without causation, a logical fallacy. As such, it is useful to have some historical understanding when discussing anything made in or events that occur in the past.

Sour Citrus Chicken
I've decided to zest every lemon I use, because I love the smell.
Anyway, about two months back I had a go at a(n unsuccessful) citrus chicken. It was 2 limes, 2 lemons and 2 oranges poured over chicken then fried.
Oh, wonder why that didn't work(?)
Anyway, today for lunch I banged out another citrus chicken. This was just served with rice, because, well, it was just a simple thing for lunch. I was going to do something with sweet mash, but the potato had gone mouldy.
Anyways, it's a no brain Sour Citrus chicken.
1 lemon
2 oranges
1 chicken breast
1 tspnCorn Flour
2 tspns Sugar
1 tspn Cinnamon
1 tbspn Water
If you want you can add a bit of water to the sauce before cooking, just to dilute a bit.
Zest the lemon and oranges into a mixing bowl and add the juices of the fruit.
Add the sugar and cinnamon and give it a good mix
Heat some nut oil in a medium wok
Cut the chicken into strips
Put the chicken in the wok and fry on a medium heat until just about cooked
Pour in the sauce and continue to cook on a low-medium heat.
Use the cornflour as required to thicken the sauce to desired consistency
Serve with rice or whatever you want (rice works fine. Wholegrain's great, IMO)
Warning, like I say, this is a sour blighter, so if you don't like sour food, avoid it. You could leave the lemon out, but then it'd just be orange chicken. Actually, when I made orange chicken (with mango sauce one time, banana smoothie another time, mango pieces another time, and mango and butternut squash pieces another time) it tasted nice, so if you don't like sour, do an orange chicken.

Re: Sour Citrus Chicken
TheBeast that sounds good. I make something similar but i usually use a lime and fresh minced Ginger instead of lemon and cinnamon. Sometimes in the summer i will cut back on the ginger and throw in some golden thyme from my herb garden as well.

Re: Sour Citrus Chicken
I also made another recipe using lime and ginger, Ashen. The sauce for this was much thicker, and coated the chicken rather than the chicken sitting in the sauce.
Anyways, I've not been posting up recipes lately because I've been baking (just buns to start with), and what I baked is from cookbooks, ergo nothing new.
I'll post up the recipes I made this week (I'm banging onto 1 or 2 new recipes each day, just about, now Well happy with it)

I checked my back yard top bar hive which was started with a feral swarm. It seems to be doing well, though it has stopped expanding after filling about two thirds of its four foot length. I have harvested about a bar of honey over each of the last two months, and added a bar to the brood nest 4 times. Yesterday I pulled a heavy bar of capped honey--the bottom third was drone comb. I was a little surprised to find 2-4 mites on each of the drone larvae.
I haven't done an alcohol wash. Does the count in drone brood correlate with a dangerous level of varroa indicating need for treatment? How effective is drone comb culling in controlling mites?

|Leon the Mutant Ninja Turtle…
|10.30.08 at 12:14 pm ET
'Tis that time of year when we all dress up or know people who embarrass themselves by dressing up in costumes. I am in the latter category because I consider myself too mature to delve into such childish behavior. After all, when you have two awesome girls dressed as a witch and a bumble bee, what's the need?
And if that's not enough of an argument for you as to why I prefer civilian clothes, let Leon Powe try to convince you.
Asked by CSN's Greg Dickerson if he ever dressed up as anything special on Halloween, Powe recalled a downright frightening and ghoulish experience.
"I remember I was a Ninja Turtle. I swear I don't wear costumes anymore because of that. I was a Ninja Turtle and all my friends teased me because of that. I had the real nunchucks and I tried to do the stuff like Michelangelo does and I hit myself in the head. Man, I was all messed up that day."
Just ask Cleveland's Delonte West, Powe doesn't need a set of nunchucks to be dangerous.
When not detailing a harrowing Halloween nightmare, Powe also recalled a happier time… this past summer when he took a group of 15 friends and family away to the Bahamas to celebrate the Celtics championship.
"When I went home, I'm all about family, I took all my family on a trip, all expenses paid for, everything. No one needed to spend any money or anything. Just 15 people, my family, my girl's family and just had fun in the Bahamas. I just cleared my head and came back to work."
And the best thing about the Bahamas, you don't need to bring your nunchucks with you to enjoy fun in the sun.
Other tidbits from Thursday's practice…
Bill Walker, when asked the same Halloween-themed question by Dickerson, said, "I like candy, I just don't like going door-to-door for it."
Paul Pierce was schooling everyone in one-on-one drills to the basket in the open portion of practice, including rookie J.R. Giddens, sans shirt. "We're making each other better," Pierce said. "We challenge each other and it's fun, too." … unless your name is J.R. Giddens.
The Celtics will not be caught off-guard by Chicago rookie sensation-to-be Derrick Rose. "Derrick Rose, it's funny just watching him. He didn't have a great game but you see greatness. He's going to be a great player. He is already controlling that team, they're running at a better speed. His decision-making is what stood out."

Here are my thoughts.
Personally, that last vote got screwed up because none of us were on at the same time, then us three wolves decided I should just jump on the Loney vote and try to save my ass, which, in turn actually hurt my cause. And, yes, your points did make sense, but only to an extent. You didn't really take into account people's schedules and what not, plus, it seemed like you really just didn't want to believe that Canaan and Loaf weren't wolves. It was definitely well played, though. It all just fell apart for us towards the end. We were flawless and until there were about ten people left no one really even thought it could have been any of us. And then it just came crashing down. There was one point early on when errey almost got the rope, but somehow he and myself saved him. Still not really sure how that happened.
Random comments on the overall experience:
-NAN, you sometimes make it harder for the villagers with tons of unrelated posts. It makes it hard to go back and see people's post trends and what not. I understand you are just trying to spark the conversation, but it actually hurts the village's chances. And that's coming from a wolf. It made it easier for us at first, that's for sure. Not trying to pick on you or anything (because you aren't the only one) just commenting.
-I really wish we could get a bunch of dummy names to use for playing this game, this is how another board I go to plays...makes it so much better because people like NAN and Canaan don't get picked on because of their names. Plus, it takes away the "well, last time we played he played this way" nonsense. That type of metagaming ruins the game.
-Posting thoughts and ideas and questioning things does NOT make you a wolf. That line of thinking probably needs to end. No one ever questions anything and if they do, they get lynched.
-I do think that the game would benefit from a smaller group, it would make it go quicker, that's for sure.
-I do have fun playing this, so I hope that this wasn't the last game, and I could be up for moderating one, as well. If juice wanted to play again.
All in all, good win by the village. Like I said, we freaking had you and you guys just turned the tables on us. I was impressed.

Mill Valley fire officials ordered the "devastating" clearing of a swath of county Open Space District land flanking a Blithedale Ridge fire road for a quarter mile, whacking vegetation including native madrone and manzanita even though the county did not authorize a fuel break there, top parks officials asserted.
Although both city and county officials expressed an eagerness to cooperate, the ridge incident scarred a relationship between two agencies that have worked together for years. City fire and county parks staff last year won praise for an unusual collaboration involving cutting fuel breaks elsewhere in the region.
Mill Valley Fire Chief Jeff Davidson blamed a contractor, calling the controversy a puzzling flap that resulted from "miscommunication." But a no-nonsense email sent to him by county parks chief Linda Dahl on Feb. 11 paints a different picture.
"The cut ordered by you was extreme, environmentally devastating, and not necessary to make the fuel break effective," Dahl wrote. "There was no cooperative agreement with Marin County Open Space to do the recent work, in fact the county was not aware of that work until it was discovered by my staff. ... You contracted for work on land on which you have no authority to cut vegetation."
What's more, Dahl continued, county parks staffers who met with Davidson about the matter emerged "threatened and intimidated," and reported that he "threatened to take further actions to cut more vegetation the way you think it should be cut." In addition, "they also told me you threatened to take further action against me by rallying other Marin fire chiefs to undermine and challenge my authority," Dahl said, noting the matter was "most unfortunate" in light of "all your department has accomplished with mine in the past."
Dahl indicated she intended to prepare an "official response" to the incident "which will include the laws of the state of California that your actions violated." Federal and state laws may be at issue if protected species were involved.
For the time being, she concluded, "please be advised that you do not have any permissions, rights or authorities to manage vegetation on any Marin County Open Space lands" and that county staffers would coordinate work by the department in the area.
Davidson, a veteran city firefighter who took over as chief in 2011, said he found the tone and the assertions in Dahl's email both frustrating and perplexing. He attributed the situation to a "miscommunication between staff and the contractor," in this case the Marin Conservation Corps North Bay. The corps "had a scope of work, and additional cutting was done outside the scope" in January under a $6,800 contract, the chief said.
Max Korten, natural resources director of the conservation corps, noting "we pride ourselves on the high quality of work we do," said that "clearly there was some miscommunication" about the Blithedale Ridge project. But Korten declined to say whether a corps crew failed to follow fire department directions — or followed them to the letter. "It's really tough," he said, struggling for words as he noted both the county and the city are longtime corps clients. "I really can't respond to that specific question."
Korten, saying he discussed the issue with city and county officials and "thought the matter was resolved," added a crew worked for three days on the project removing "mostly broom," leaving many mature madrones in place. No chainsaws were used, he said.
"The world of natural resources management is complicated," Korten observed, a view embraced by Chief Davidson, who pledged cooperation and collaboration even though he said fire and parks staffers "have philosophic and mission differences" that must be balanced.
As far as intimidating parks staffers or challenging Dahl's authority, Davidson added, "I'm a little perplexed by that. I felt we had a positive meeting with the open space staff."
Marin County Fire Chief Jason Weber, whose department was not involved in the affair, noted conflicts involving agencies with different missions involving the same turf, such as the fire department's interest in combatting fire and county parks' interest in environmental stewardship, should come as no surprise.
"All of us are very passionate about what we do," Weber said.
"This is a very unfortunate incident," said Supervisor Kate Sears. "I toured the site with our county open space folks and the Mill Valley mayor and city manager," she added, saying that "everyone is working together to try to ensure this kind of miscommunication does not occur in the future."
Mill Valley Mayor Andrew Berman said the city has "always maintained a fire break on the ridge," but declined to characterize the project completed this year. He noted the situation provides an "educational opportunity" for officials to share ideas.
"We have to work on a more formal understanding but I am confident we can work out our differences and come to a conclusion that balances public safety and land stewardship," County Administrator Matthew Hymel said.
Dahl, whose email to Davidson was released by County Counsel Steve Woodside after a public information request by the Independent Journal, was out of the office last week. But her assistant, deputy parks chief Ron Miska, said the incident on the fire road straddling the Blithedale Summit, Baltimore Canyon and Kings Mountain open space preserves was a travesty. "What occurred was indiscriminate cutting of vegetation, including native madrone and manzanita, for roughly 60 feet on each side of a quarter-mile section of the Blithedale Ridge Fire Protection Road, without staff's knowledge or consent," he said.
"Indiscriminate cutting, especially in areas where a broom infestation already exists, enables broom to expand its range — because it thrives in disturbed areas and out-competes native vegetation," Miska explained. "The consequences are increased fire risk and loss of native habitat. By doing so one has also committed an agency's staff and budget to mowing the broom on a periodic basis, essentially forever, to keep it under control."
Adding insult to injury, the county never envisioned a fuel break there. "The area was to remain for ingress-egress only (for) the passage of fire suppression and maintenance vehicles," Miska said. "To maintain ingress and egress, it was necessary to cut the broom or other vegetation only a short distance from the edge of the road, from 2 to 20 feet along this road segment, as was done periodically for many years." Beyond this distance "was intact native chaparral — a mix of madrone, manzanita and other native plants," a slow-growing landscape with some branches taking 50 years to reach an inch in diameter. "We don't know for sure how old they were," Miska noted. "Some plants and branches were several inches in diameter."
Tempers boiled at Civic Center when a stunned senior staffer returned with remnant "rounds" of manzanita and madrone indicating the native vegetation had flourished for many decades.
Miska, noting all sides in the affair tell differing stories, concluded that in any case, "what happened shouldn't have happened, and I think all parties want to re-establish a collaborative approach to fire risk reduction in the area."
Last October, county supervisors joined Miska in lauding a program involving a unique collaboration in which the Mill Valley Fire Department picked up almost half of a $116,000 tab under a four-year program to cut 34 acres of brush and related fire fuel in the county's Camino Alto and Alto Bowl open space preserves.

We spent some wonderful days at Genie's and Skate's picturesque house. It is close enough to the centre of town in order to reach it quickly but far enough to be able to relax on the sofa on the terrace having a fantastic view on the city. The place has a lot of charm. Genie and Skate are wonderful hosts that made us feel at home. Moreover, they gave us many helpful tips for our trip through California. We do hope to be able to come back.
Genie and Skate we're really welcoming and made us feel at home at once. Their beautiful oasis is a perfect accomodation for discovering the city with a wonderful view and easy access to public transportation. Thank you for having us at your home.
It is realy a beautiful oasis. From garden/ terassa you have a fantastic view to the city. Even you can see the top of the golden gate bridge and in the night the illuminated city. Also the neighborhood, mission, is fantastic, lot of cafes and restaurants. And of course Jeannie, I have enjoyed her hospitality. Next time I will stay there longer than 2 days.
awesome place with really nice and helpful persons ... love it <3
Jeannie and Skate are very friendly people and we enjoyed our stay at their home. If come to San Francisco again i would like to stay there again.
We really enjoyed the stay, Jeannie and Skate are real nice, the place is confortable and the garden, wonderful! Well situated, the perfect place to rest after a whole day exploring the city. The neighbourhood, Cortland St., Precita, etc. are a place to visit in SF!
I spent 3 days with my family at Jeannies and Skates house in SF. It´s a lovely place with a beautiful garden and a wonderful house with nicely decorated rooms and a stunning view. The shared bathroom is no problem at all, we didn´t even notice that there was somebody else. The Mission district is within walking distance. To Castro and Haight Street it takes half an hour by bus, same to Downtown.
Jeannie made it very easy to get in touch very quickly. We had a wonderful stay with Jeannie and her daughter. They even took our son to join a party, he really enjoyed and loved the stay with the whole family. Thanks a lot again for having us, being ever so nice and lovely, we enjoyed our stay with you very much. I hope we´ll manage it to come back soon to meet you again and stay at your lovely place, which I would recommend to all people I like. Yours, Angelika
Jeannie and Skates home is a lovley place. The pictures do not lie, the garsen ia beautiful, the view is amazing. Rhe hosts took care of everything, we were even invited to join a barbeque. I would go there again for sure.
We LOVED Skate and Jeannie's magical house and garden.
Fantastic view over SF and the Golden gate bridge
We stayed for 3 days and everything was perfect. Jason helped us with everything.
We only have positive things to say about our stay.
Will 100 % recommend this place
Great Location, Nice and relaxed hosts, we enjoyed Our stay very much

I looked at the Maxant 20 Frame Radial...........it's $1495 the Brushy Mountain 18 Framer is $995........ that's a lot of $$$ difference for just an additional 4 frames. I'm leaning (a lot) to the BM extractor unless I hear something "bad" about them.

Avoid Sam's club!!!
why would ya want that much VC food
There are hungry Americans all over this country. It's time to stop feeding the world and do for our own. End of shortage.
This is more fear mongering by the media machine. It will be interesting to see how the libtard Democraps put the spin on producing bio-fuels, something "green" that they have pushed for, versus burning fossil fuels. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Can't have it both ways. Food or fuel.
" The world is a very dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who do nothing about them." - Albert Einstein, 1879-1955
RetVet I agree completely! Fear mongering = instigation. MSNBC had a 3-page article on why there is a GRAIN shortage, but no mention of rice or the other things. Global economy, weak dollar, and most surprising to me (because I had not considered it) is that the other crops - Corn and Soybean in particular - yield more return per acre than Wheat.
So the rhetorical question is, "why wouldn't" the farmers reduce wheat crops? It makes sense when you think about it. Now we have 2x the cost of grains, pastas, and everything else that is a wheat-based product. So expect to spend more at the grocer for these items. They aren't running out, but the laws of supply and demand are raising the prices. Hooray capitalism...?!?

Project Pink - the Pink and Blue AK-74:
Don't believe the crap you hear that using grains for alcohol production is the reason for rising food prices. The giant agri-corporations are paid BILLIONS every year for NOT growing things, just google CRP; That stands for the Crop Reduction Program. If they took all the land that is lying fallow through the CRP and opened it up for either food or fuel production, there would be no problem. It's all just a way to suck more money out of us, and it doesn't matter who's in the White House, who is in charge of the Senate and House, Democrat, Republican, Independent, Green, ad Infinitum, ad Nauseum. What you need to remember is that they are ALL Politicians, and they could care less about the people they are supposed to represent, with VERY FEW exceptions. Hard times are coming, no doubt about that, but it's our own fault for not standing up together and saying "That's Enough". What other country in the world do you know that let's people stream across their borders and just poo poo it off ? Most countries have extensive fences backed by minefields, gun towers, and armed patrols who shoot on sight. Do you think they give a damn if someone calls foul ? All I can suggest is that you start looking for an isolated hole to crawl into when the stuff hits the fan, and hope it all works itself out. It might not hurt to prepare for long term nuclear survival just in case. When you start throwing the Muslims into the Nuke mix, it's like putting Hannibal Lecter in charge of the Asylum.
FEAR THE ULTIMATE WEAPON SYSTEM when delivered via MASS MEDIA.
Just a few facts, please don't construe this as arguing with anybody.
Wheat, corn, soybeans, ANY crop that's grown is typically grown because it's an ideal match with the land and climate. Land/climate that's good for wheat, for instance, is rarely good for corn. Wheat growth occurs mainly in the spring and is harvested in summer.
Corn wants long, hot, humid summers, and is harvested in the fall.
You really can't effectively substitute one crop type for another. Corn and soybeans are one exception. But wheat & corn, or wheat and rice, or even rice and corn are not substitutable for each other. Not optimally.
Next, the CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) will pay out, in 2008, an average of $4131 per farm, not quite $50 per acre nationwide. There aren't exactly huge profits in CRP for a farmer or corporation when corn, wheat, soybeans, and most other crops are selling at record prices (such as $5/bushel corn). In fact, most of the talk here in AG-land is how farming is pulling land out of the CRP program due to the high grain prices being paid.
The FSA typically requires 10-15 year CRP contracts, so "playing the market" is pretty tough - nothing is taken out of production for 15 years unless the land is pretty poor to begin with.

Uncle Sam used to be a kind and benevolent old gentleman who was a pleasure to have around. At one time, he believed in doing everything he could to help his family.
But, now, he has become a free-loading deadbeat who hangs around stealing everything that he can get his hands on.
When youre not looking, he prowls all through your house snooping through your affairs. He goes through your wallet and other possessions, and will take anything that is not nailed down. He tells you that he will provide for you, and then robs you to pay for it.
He pays his bills by writing bad checks, if he pays them at all. He is totally irresponsible with money, squandering every cent that he can beg, borrow or steal.
He is a bum-a cheap chiseling two-bit hood who tries to get all he can from the system without having to work for it. He doesnt have a clue about how to make an honest living.
He lies about some of the family members, in order to create dissension among them.
He says that those who work are unfair to the rest. He himself neither works nor tries to provide his own way but spends all of his time scheming to get something for nothing.
He has no respect for law and order but will abuse them any time it suits him. He has degenerated into a sleazy thug.
I guess that every family has at least one black sheep. But, why did I get him?

New NRCCTE Research Report on Community College Online Programs
A new National Research Center for Career and Technical Education (NRCCTE) report funded by a grant from OVAE, Online Occupational Education in Community Colleges: Prevalence and Contextual Factors was recently released. It provides information about the institutional, economic, and social factors that influence how community colleges offer online programs and make connections to their local workforce to meet its development needs. The study included a random sample of 321 U. S. institutions. The survey results show that among the sample institutions with data available (n = 301) almost half (47.5 percent) offered credit-granting online occupational programs. About one quarter of these programs (26 percent) focused on one of its state's five fastest growing occupations. The complete report is available through the NRCCTE Web site at http:www.nrccte.org in the right hand column under "Recent Publications."
Cummings Led U.S. Delegation to Bi-National Workshop on Automotive Production and Green Occupations
OVAE Deputy Assistant Secretary Glenn Cummings led a delegation of 11 U.S. Post-Secondary Education and Training experts at a bi-national workshop on Globally Competitive and Sustainable Qualifications in Vocational Education and Training, in Bonn, Germany, May 4-6, 2010. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the U.S. Department of Education are embarking on a partnership to develop competitive models for education and training that address the demands of sustainable economic development. Through the partnership, high-impact practices in automotive production, green occupations, lifelong learning and cooperative education will be shared. The bi-national workshop provided a forum for discussing current practice and innovation in each country, as well as the opportunity to identify action steps for future cooperation. Proceedings from the workshop will be posted on the OVAE website in the near future.
Florida's Biotechnology Education Program: A CTE STEM Model for the Future
Florida's biotechnology industry is transitioning its focus from research and development to testing and manufacturing. To address workforce needs, the Florida Biotechnology Articulation Consortium (FBAC) was established under a grant from OVAE to promote the state's new high school biotechnology program and establish statewide articulation opportunities from secondary school to a community college associate degree. Rigor and quality are built into this combined career and technical education (CTE) and academic credit program so that students will be prepared for success in postsecondary programs and for careers in this high-skill/high-wage transitioning industry.
As part of the transition, the University of Florida's Center of Excellence for Regenerative Health Biotechnology (UF CERHB) Education Center and the Sid Martin Biotechnology Development Incubator brought together the critical elements needed to establish statewide, industry-recognized, biotechnology education programs and formed a partnership among industry, secondary and postsecondary education, workforce boards, and economic development agencies to ensure that college and career readiness are aligned with students' career goals and interests. In addition, Santa Fe High School, Santa Fe Community College, and the UF CERHB Education Center collaborated to create a health science-biotechnology program of study. These institutions designed seamless transitions to multiple levels and opportunities of study. Curricula were developed at the middle school, high school, college, university, graduate, and professional levels, including teacher training. Over 800 high school students now take the courses, with the program's first graduates expected in 2010.
