Monday, February 4, 2013
There were reports of at least five avalanches in the mountains west, north and northeast of Steamboat Springs over the weekend, including one caused when a skier jumped off a rock at an elevation of 9,400 feet on Buffalo Pass. A man in contact with the skier's party posted a report on the Colorado Avalanche Information Center's website saying the individual skied out of the path of the slide and was not buried.
Scott Toepfer of the Avalanche Information Center issued a special advisory statement just after 5 a.m. Monday following a weekend when there were numerous five avalanches across the state, including a fatal incident near Silverton in the San Juan mountains in Southwest Colorado. He reported that the last storm cycle complicated an already weak snowpack.
"It is taking little additional stress to trigger large, deep and dangerous avalanches," Toepfer wrote. "These conditions will linger for some time into the future. Backcountry riders are advised to use extra caution if traveling in or around avalanche terrain today."
Patrick Meyer, who did not witness the Buffalo Pass slide but observed the aftermath and talked to members of the party, filed the report and a photograph of the avalanche just north of Steamboat. The area was described as "Bitch Creek." The slide broke on a north-facing slope almost devoid of trees, with a number of rocks protruding from the snow cover.
"Party said that skier triggered slide from jumping off rock, was able to ski out of slide path, no burial," Meyer wrote.
Among the other local slides was one photographed by retired avalanche observer Art Judson, who estimated it fell 900 feet on the east side of Sleeping Giant. Spencer Logan of the Avalanche Information Center reported a slide in the vicinity of Hahn's Peak that broke 36 inches at the crown.
Other avalanche reports in the Steamboat area did not indicate they were human caused.
One small avalanche was spotted between Rabbit Ears Pass and Buffalo Pass. It may have been turned in by a snowmobiler, based upon his comments, which included more detail about the dangerous layers in the snowpack.
Steven Marlenee wrote that he encountered the slide after the fact on a south-facing slope in the midst of a timbered area marked by a rock formation he estimated to be between 35 and 40 feet tall.
Here is his description of the snowpack: "Snowpack started as fluffier powder with a base that was conducive to snowmobiling, in that it had a definite bottom. As the day went on, the snow seemed to settle very rapidly and become much more slab-like.
"After seeing this particular slide, I dug down. The first 12-14 inches was powder. There was an ice layer, about 1-2 inches thick. This (layer) was so firm that one couldn't shovel through it without extreme force. Beneath this layer was 2-3 feet of sugar (snow). I didn't dig past this point."
After reading the details of the report, Judson said it was a small slide, actually little more than a slough.
It was a different story north of Clark on the western edge of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness Area, where a skier using climbing skins to surmount the northwest ridge of Little Agnes peak watched as a snowmobiler remotely triggered several shallow slides. Those slides ran from 100 to 200 feet.
"While skiing up the NW ride of Little Agnes, a snowmobiler topped out on ridge NW of my location," Scott Slamal wrote. "As the rider approached the ridge a series of three slides released remotely on a steep rocky southeast facing slope. The rider was approximately 100 to 300 feet from the release points. Nobody was caught in any of the slides."
Slamal photographed the snow slides through a stand of dead trees.
The avalanche danger in the Steamboat zone is rated "considerable" Monday, and Toepfer said the danger would likely persist.
"The current snowpack across Colorado is in a delicate state of balance," he wrote. "Before the last storm cycle moved across the state, the base layers of the snow were exceptionally weak. The new snow came in with significant wind and a high water content, meaning (it) was heavy and developed quickly into dangerous slides."

Time to get rid of the Beamer and get a big family SUV. These are the 4 I like what do you guys think? I'm headin' to Carmax tomorrow to drive some.
Details, please. Unless they're giving them away, I'd rule out the Durango. I'm pretty sure they have quality/reliability issues. Just as well...I don't think it's a terribly good car
________________________\o/____ 1 3 5 [oo=[][]=oo] /_/_/========= / / / 2 4 R
Well, the Yukon and the Tahoe are basically the same SUV. The diff between the two are minimal, but big price difference, so get the Tahoe. Plus, I think the Tahoe looks better from the front, but that's just me. Good luck.
I live in LA, I don't drive to far to work, we have one baby and trying for a second. I have a 2002 525i and am done with it. Ready for something big and fun. I rented a Suburban for a few weeks while traveling and loved it. But that's just a little to big.
I agree about the Tahoe looking better than the GMC. At least the current gen. The Yukon looks like Droopy, while the Tahoe is sharp and powerful looking.So L.A. as in the city in California, not LA the shortened version of Louisiana? And "too" has two "o's" in it. Going "to" work is fine. Work not being "too far" away is something different.
----------When life throws you a curve, downshift and take it vigorously.Pheobe's@478,000-ish miles. (RIP original engine 475k)Youtube
I would go with the Tahoe or yukon. The durango has a TON of issues. Expedition eh the only good thing is that the third row folds down and its 2in longer than a tahoe. I got my aunt and uncle to trade in there expedition for the tahoe, and they love the tahoe. their only gripe is the third row doesnt fold down completly. other than that they love it especailly the ride/handeling. and the tahoe/yukon has the best engine choices out of the suv market.
-------------------------------------------GM for Life
Stay away from the Durango. A GM suv is the best choice.
========================================================You don't know the difference between a generalized opinion based on experience and a fact with a link. I swear that people 40 and over don't understand sarcasm.
Thanks guys. What's the deal with the back of the Tahoe? It doesn't look like it folds down to a flat hard surface where you can put things like guitar amps in. Every pic shows a 3rd row of seats and a super small back or the seats fold down and the back is like a split level. Kind of weird.
I just found this pic, it looks like this is how it looks with the seats out:Do you have to take the seats out to get the open? Is it hard?

Kind of weird.The Expedition has IRS which allows its seats to fold flat, IMO this is the only thing it tops the GM twins, they are are bullet proof with proven reliability and also the best sellers.
Do the seats fold all the way up and forward?
jameslugo:Do the seats fold all the way up and forward?Not on the 3rd row, they have to be removed. The 2nd row do fold flat.
Thanks man, that's kind of a drag but I guess as little as I would need another row of seats I could take them out and keep in the garage and just put them in for big outings etc...
My Mom has a Tahoe and thats exactly what she does when not using the 3rd row seats which isn't that often.
I take it she likes her Tahoe? I've been driving a 5 series BMW for 6 years and am so over it, really been enjoying renting these big SUVs when I've been traveling for work and now that I moved my business I have my own parking so it makes this way more plausible.

Which Icing For Christmas Cake
This is the first year I've baked my own Christmas cake and I must say it was easier than I imagined. Onlie commuities, Youtube and various websites are great for advice and ideas ad it is advice I'm after today.
Made my own marzipan yesterday (Saturday) and was surprised at how easy it was. But I must confess I think I rolled it to thin. How do I keep the cake until it's iced just covered with a cloth or pop it back into the tin which was its home this last month or so?
Next Saturday the icing! I seem to have three choices Royal Icing or fondant icing, or shop bought. But since I've went this far on my own I'd like to give the shop bought stuff a miss!
So what's the pros and cons of each. Remember this is my first Christmas cake and which do you go for?

Re: Which Icing For Christmas Cake
I always used royal icing. Put the cake in its tin until you're ready to marizpan it. Would be good to wrap it in greaseproof paper/baking parchment first. Presume ou'll want to 'feed' the cake with brandy, or something during that waiting time.
You'll need to brush the outside of the cake with heated apricot jam, for the marzipan to stick to. Not really too important how thick the marzipan is but it's a good idea to have it a reasonable thickness and then you can use it to cover any cavities, or knobbly bits on the cake. Then leave the cake to store again for about 2 days minimum. Then the icing. Again, you'll be better brushing with apricot jam (just the jelly bits).
I wish you luck.

Re: Which Icing For Christmas Cake
I'd definitely go with royal icing - it's remarkably easy, and gives a lovely result. Usually, I keep the cake in its tin until I'm ready to put on the marzipan and icing, and it usually gets given a good slug of brandy once a week until then. As you've already put the marzipan on it, I'd wrap it tightly in greasproof paper and clingfilm until you're ready to ice it.

In the Sates at the moment. I Flew over from Sydney on the 8th July. It was very sad to leave to Oz as I had had such a great time there! I will definelty be going back there, no question about that! Its just such a lovely place: Totally awsome beaches within a short driving distance of Sydney's city centre!!
The USA is much hotter than it was in Oz, so I am topping up my tn nicely! Caz and I have already seen Hollywood, Universal Studio's and Disney land! Disney Land was much better than Universal Studio's but the rides didnt scare me as much as they did, but maybe after all the many bungee jumps and Sky dives they dont seem as terrifying as they once did!
In San Diago ant the moment and heading to a cowboy ranch tomorrow, to do some HORSE riding, which I am NOT looking forward to but I will give it a go anyway!! Then we are onto the Grand Canion, Las Vagas, and San Fransisco. ot to sure that this camping idea was very good though I think i am much more of a hostel or hotel girl! It took Caz and I ages to put our tent up yetserday, but hopefully by the end of the two weeks will have have it down to a tee!

The media is shoving him down our throats and its a bit annoying. Espn had a show on him last night, I only caught the part where he was throwing a medicine ball against a wall. His last throw he did real hard and the camera zooms in on a piece of cracked dry wall like it was something spectacular. So stupid it was comical.

Treatment Adherence
A Daily Reminder
"Medication adherence" means taking your HIV medications when and how you are supposed to take them. It can be one of the most difficult aspects of living with HIV/AIDS.
For some people, taking their meds every day reminds them of the social and the emotional issues connected to HIV/AIDS, so they avoid it. It doesn't have to be that way for you because there are tips and tools that can help you take your meds when and how you need to be taking them.
Medication adherence is really important. Studies show that your meds will be most successful in controlling your HIV if you miss no more than one pill per month.
Helpful Tips
Here are a few helpful hints to maintain good adherence (which means sticking to the schedule better than 95% of the time):
- Learn about the things that keep HIV patients from taking their meds, and think about how you can deal with them if you have those issues. Some factors include:
- Untreated depression/mental illness
- Substance abuse
- Complicated medical instructions
- Medication side effects
- Dietary restrictions
- Difficulty reading or understanding directions
- Homelessness or unstable housing
- Stigma
- Travel
- Overall "fit" of the drug regimen/schedule to the patient's lifestyle and daily routine
- Use took kits and available resources (e-mail and text reminders, etc) to help you remember your med schedule. For more information, see VA's Tips for staying on your treatment plan.
- If you feel that your med schedule is getting to be too much for you to handle, talk with your healthcare provider and discuss your concerns.
- Put your medication in a pill box that can hold a week's worth of drugs. That will help you keep track of what you have, and haven't, taken, and it will save you time, since you won't have to open multiple pill bottles every day. It will also make it easier to take your meds while you are traveling.
- Use specialized pharmacies that offer services that dose your medications for you (so you can pick them up in individual packets or pill boxes).
- Use timers or alarms on your cell phone or watch to help remind you to take your meds on time.
- Try your best to develop a routine. Take your medications at the same time each day—it can help to take them at the same time you do another daily activity (like watching a nightly game show or reading the morning paper). This is a way to connect taking your meds with things you would normally be doing anyway.
- Plan ahead! If you know you will be spending the night away from home, or simply heading out for the evening, take your evening dose and your morning dose with you just in case you don't make it back home in time to take your meds.
- Work with your healthcare provider to manage side effects to medications. Taking your meds will be easier if you aren't experiencing side effects.
- Work with your pharmacy to know exactly when you are going to run out of medication and how far in advance you should re-order. To make getting your meds on time, use any delivery or courier systems they may have.
- Substance abuse is going to make staying on your schedule very hard for you, but if you do plan to keep using, plan ahead for your meds as well:
- Keep a bottle of water and a small snack on you at all times.
- Take your medications with you when you go out and keep them on you. Don't leave them in your purse, car, jacket, bag, etc.
- Have a friend you know and trust (who is not out with you) send you a text reminder or a phone call to take your medications.
- If you are using while taking HIV medications, it is really important that you be OPEN AND HONEST with your healthcare provider. Some recreational drugs can increase side effects of medications and interact with your HIV meds in your body. The more your healthcare provider knows about you, the more they can help you.
Not Just Pills
Keeping on track with your HIV care is about more than just staying on schedule with your meds. Treatment of your HIV is more than that. Your healthcare providers have an over-all plan for you, which includes your medical appointments, dental appointments, lab tests, and many other services. When you participate in all of these parts, you are engaged in your care.
People can fall out of care for many of the same reasons they find it find it hard to take their meds. Travel, work, school, family, friends, substance abuse, mental illness, housing, and many other life events and stresses can all have an effect on whether or not you can make it in to the clinic on a particular day.
Clinicians and healthcare providers understand that life happens and no one is going to be perfect 100% of the time. Everyone will miss an appointment from time to time. But falling out of care can really damage your health—so it's important that you take the initiative to follow up and stay engaged in your care.
With this in mind, if you find yourself becoming less engaged in care, ask your healthcare providers for assistance or referrals to services that may help to lessen some of the life stressors or help you deal with situations that are affecting your HIV care.

Re: st: using the same macro in program & mata
Re: st: using the same macro in program & mata
Wed, 09 Jul 2008 17:14:02 -0700
Thank you very much for your detailed response. I used 1A and it worked perfectly (though I also tried 1B and it worked, too). Solution 2 was more complicated than I needed just know, but I will keep it in my back pocket for the future.
Quoting "William Gould, StataCorp LP" <firstname.lastname@example.com>:
Maria <firstname.lastname@example.com> writes,
I am writing a program that calls Mata and then, within Mata, calls a
Stata command. Currently, what I have written to do this looks
something like:
program name
global depvar `1'
mata : temp_("$depvar")
void temp_(string scalar dep)
stata("reg $depvar xvar")
Maria goes on to say, "The program does what I would like, however, I read in
the Stata Manual ([U]18.3.10) that one should never use global macros [...]"
I agree with that statement.
Solution 1A
One solution would be,
program name
local depvar `1'
mata: temp_("`depvar'")
void temp_(string scalar dep)
stata("reg " + dep + " xvar")
Thte important thing to notice in this solution is that the string
scalar dep contains the name of the dependent variable, not the
name of a macro containing the name of the dependent variable.
The line
stata("reg " + dep + " xvar")
could alternatively be coded
stata(sprintf("reg %s xvar", dep))
It does not matter which coding you use.
Solution 1B
In fact, we don't need any macros at all. We could simplify the above to
program name
mata: temp_("`1'")
void temp_(string scalar dep)
stata("reg " + dep + " xvar")
Solution 2
Alternatively, we could write our code to pass and receive a macro name,
which macro contained the name of the dependent variable:
program name
local depvar `1'
mata: temp_("depvar")
void temp_(string scalar dep)
stata("reg " + st_local(dep) + " xvar")
In this solution string scalar dep does not contain, say, "mpg", the name
of the dependent variable. It contains "depvar", and the local macro
depvar contains "mpg".
Solution 1, A or B, is better than Solution 2 because that solution is
There is a case, however, where Solution 2 might be preferred if
execution speed were of a great concern.
Let's pretend we do not want to pass a single variable name to our
Mata program, but we want to pass a string containing multiple
variable names, e.g., the string might be "weight foreign". Except,
let's imagine this is a case where there might be 5,000 variable names
and each might be 32 characters long, so the total length of our string
could be 33*5,000-1 = 164,999 characters. Let's assume local macro vars
contains these 5,000 variable names.
We code,
mata: mysub("`vars'")
to send the 5,000 names, and we code
void temp_(string scalar variables)
to receive them. Now think of what Stata has to do to execute what
we have coded.
1. Execute -mata: mysub("`vars'")-
a. Expand -mata: mysub("`vars'"), meaning substitute
a 164,999 character string for vars in the above.
b. Interpret the 164,999+a_little_bit long string, understand
that it means to call Mata.
c. Call Mata.
2. Mata now sees a 164,999+a_little_bit long string, and Mata
compiles the string.
a. Mata finds a 164,999+a_little_bit long string as a
a string literal, and compiles (copies) the string
into the program.
b. Mata execute the compiled code. Along the way, there is
a step that copies the 164,999+a_little_bit long string
from the program into a string scalar called variables.
We copied the string a lot; three times by my count. Usually, that
will not matter in terms of execution time, but this string is long.
Well, 164,999+a_little_bit is not that long by the standards of modern
computers. So let's pretend the string is 1,000,000 characters long.
And let's pretend we are doing this in a loop. All this copying is a
waste of time.
We could instead code,
mata: mysub("vars") // don't expand vars
to send the 5,000 names, and we could code
void temp_(string scalar vars_mac_name)
to recieve them and then, where we needed the names, we could code
st_local(vars_mac_name) to actually obtain them.
That would save computer time.
I don't want to exaggerate the savings because, executed once, it
will not be much. It is so little that you would have difficult
time measuring it. But in some instances such as a simulation running
thousands of times, it would be worth saving the time.
Our rule at StataCorp for writing code is that, in general, we pass the
thing itself -- let Stata expand it and Mata receive it the simple way.
In the case, however, where you are passing a varlist and execution time
might be of issue and the varlist might be long, pass instead the name
of the macro containing the long string and then expand the string yourself
using st_local() where you need it.
My rule, a variation on the StataCorp rule, is to pass macro names in
cases where the varlist might be every variable in the dataset. In
all other cases, I let Stata do the expansion and keep my Mata code
I have a second rule that goes with all my rules: I write simple,
easy-to-read code and later, if I discover I have a performance problem,
I go back and modify. This rule is based on the experience that I
usually expect more performance problems that I actually turn out to have.

Mikel Arteta says only time will tell if Arsenal's battling point at Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night was a good result.
The Spanish midfielder made his Champions League debut against the 1997 winners, lining up alongside fellow new signing Yossi Benayoun as the Gunners took home a 1-1 draw from the BVB Stadion.
Plenty of Arsenal fans were happy with that against the talented Bundesliga champions but Arteta believes that Arsène Wenger's side must build on a respectable point with a win in their next Group F game against Olympiacos at Emirates Stadium.
"If you win at home in the next game, this is a good result," the midfielder said. "If you don't, it is not as good obviously because with five minutes to go we had the three points in our hands.
"It was a tough one - we knew it was going to be really tough. They play at a really high tempo and it's not easy.
"I think at the end we got an OK result - it could have been better but they scored an unbelievable goal. It was a fair result."
Despite his disappointment at letting two points slip in Germany, Arteta insisted the team could be proud of their efforts against Jurgen Klopp's strong Dortmund side.
"To be honest they played some really good stuff and created some chances, so it's not a bad point," he said.
"We knew that the start was going to be really difficult but we stuck at it. It was hard but we tried to stay together as a group.
"Hopefully we can improve because on Tuesday night we could have done much better with the ball than we did."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

2 new missions
I made 2 more missions. One was the continuation of my "An Unpleasant Night" series and the other is just for fun.
An Unpleasant Night 2 - Part ll
My missions are so lonely
I am real super sand legend!
Another BUMP!
I made a remix of that popular "Sky Fort" mission. It consists of Ice men and it has a colder atmosphere to it.
So far the mission is doing well in terms of feedback

Re: inFamous 2 UGC missions
Re: inFamous 2 UGC missions
That map looks like quite a nice take on the original! Did anyone accuse of "stealing" .
I actually agree with you. I never got into the UGC thing, creating or playing. Creating involved too many options, variables, controls etc that I could never understand or get to work beyond a simple "Kill these guys here". As for playing they were never very interesting and I got bored quickly of the samey gameplay, so I just stuck to the singleplayer.
Though I do disagree with your claim that "allowing players to make missions in Infamous 2 was the biggest mistake they could have made" because the UGC levels did not ruin the game for me. I just didn't play them, simple.
Re: inFamous 2 UGC missions[ Edited ]
I never got this UGC stuff so my missions were crap

Re: inFamous 2 UGC missions
I made a new mission. It's called derpFAMOUS because I couldn't come up with anything better to call it, and yes it's a silly mission. Unfortunately, once I uploaded it to the servers, a few of the words in there got automatically censored and now my mission is totally meaningless.
Here's a video of the UNcensored version since now I hope nobody ever comes across it while playing.

Covey Run wines benefit from the long, sunny days and cool nights of eastern Washington vineyards. The whites are distinguished by crisp acidity and fresh fruit flavors, while the reds are aged in oak that never masks, but rather complements, the bold fruit flavors. View all Covey Run Wines
About Columbia Valley
Columbia Valley is the largest of Washington State's wine growing regions, with almost 11 million acres. It encompasses a number of smaller regions, including Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, Red Mountain and more. The vast area consists of a range of climates, allowing viticulturists to plant a diverse selection of grape varieties. Most wineries plant rows sparsely, which helps the vines survive the harsh winters.
Notable FactsMerlot is the most popular and most planted grape of the area, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Syrah and Riesling are also popular and continue to grow in acreage.
About Washington
So how does a state known for rain and coffee produce high quality wines? They plant their grapes on the east side of the Cascade mountains, away from that ever-present rain cloud that sits along the coast. Perhaps wine grapes do well since the sandy loam soils east of the Cascade range give way to an almost desert-like land, saved from drought only by the helpful rivers that run through the area – and the good irrigation systems.
Thinking that the state would do best with typical northern growing grapes like Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, turns out the apple state is well-suited for reds, namely Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and, more recently, Syrah. Of course, whites have not been forgotten - Washington State Rieslings range from bone-dry to sweet, are well-structured and high quality, and Chardonnay dominates most of the other white plantings, making a range of wines. But the reds of the region, Merlot in particular, have made Washington State a quality force to be reckoned with.

I have no plans of converting, but I thought I should be open enough to give it a try and report my findings. I found out I haven't learned how to make it work...yet.
I didn't think the post was condescending, just sharing an opinion...kind of like 99% of the other stuff that floats around here on beesource.

Reviews of this property
Very clean apartment at a great location real close to Downtown Manhattan, We stayed in Room nr 2 for a week as family with 1 kid. During the week the other 3 rooms in apartment were almost all occupied, which makes it a bit busy for the shower. But due to the fact we had nice people around us, it was all fine.
Rooms are not that big but good enough. Couple of tips for John/Lucy: Mirrors in the rooms, makes it easier to clear the bathroom quicker. And the bathroom can use some new equipment, as the others are oxidated.
I fyou're looking for a shabby room in a noisy area , with a shared bathroom with eleven other people (good luck cleaning your teeth in the morning after a stranger has just been in the bathroom!), andif your lucky, no windows in your bedroom, then this is the place for you. The air conditioning is really noisy, so keepsyou awake, and if its not that, then it will be the loud music from next door. If thats what you're looking for, you.ll love this place. The lift ourside has a unique odor to it too, so really welcoming. And don't be confused, the white clean bedsheets on the website, may not be there to make the rooms look bigger, but i promise, it's the same room you booked. If you're not hapy with it make sure you use the wholeof your first day trying to resolve the situation, because if you don't, the proprietor, or Wimbdu, wont helpyou. You may have to move location completely. Happy holiday!
The apartment is pefectly located in the heart of little Italy. The room is very spacious and clean. We had a great stay! Thank you John!
Experience in the Big Apple has been spectacular, we just wanted to stay a room to sleep and shower and this floor to us and also offered in a fairly quiet area (Little Italy Street Italian restaurants) that the ends week becomes pedestrianized from 6 pm of sooner or later. Recommended for its economical price and location near public transportation to two or three blocks from the subway.
La experiencia en la gran manzana ha sido espectacular, nosotros para la estancia solo queríamos una habitación para poder dormir y poder ducharnos y este piso nos lo ofrecía y además en una zona bastante tranquila (la calle del Little Italy de restaurantes italianos) que los fines de semana se convierte en peatonal a partir de las 6 pm de la tarde más o menos. Recomendable por su económico precio y situación cerca del transporte público a dos o tres cuadras del metro.
Small apartment well located in "Little Italy" with 4 bedrooms for 2 to 4 people, which is a problem in the morning because the toilet is in the bathroom and one must wait for the person occupying the bathroom is finished washing, makeup ...
Our room included a double bed very loud when we went down or turned in bed, too bad !!!
Petit appartement bien situé dans "Little Italy" comprenant 4 chambres de 2 à 4 personnes, ce qui pose un problème le matin car les toilettes sont dans la salle d'eau et on doit attendre que la personne qui occupe la salle d'eau est finie de se laver, maquiller ...
Notre chambre comprenait de lit double très bruyant quand on se couchait ou on se retournait dans le lit, dommage!!!
Perfect location in Little Italy, very clean, everything that you need. It is smaller than it looks on the photo and the AC was a bit chilly and not adjustable. The lodging can definitely priced right performance.
perfekte lage in little Italy, sehr sauber, alles vorhanden was man braucht. Es ist kleiner als es auf dem foto aussieht und der AC war etwas kühl und nicht einstellbar. Kann die unterkunft auf jeden fall weiterempfehlen, Preis Leistung stimmt.
We arrived at the address and the call five minutes were there to give us the keys. Amable.Apartamento treatment and very clean room. Well located, a short walk from the Brooklyn Bridge and the financial district. Would repeat the same place.
Llegamos a la dirección los llamamos y en 5 minutos estaban alli para darnos las llaves. Trato muy amable.Apartamento y habitación limpios. Bien situados, a un paseo del puente de Brooklyn y la zona financiera. Volveria a repetir al mismo lugar.
The property is located in Little Italy, close to China Town and therefore very central if you want to know the city of New York. As positive the attention of the owner, value, location and cleanliness. As a negative, a bit noisy which is solved with plugs and the fact that there only one bathroom for four rooms. Strongly recommended
El alojamiento está situado en Little Italy, muy cerca de China Town y por lo tanto muy céntrico si quieres conocer la ciudad de Nueva York. Como positivo la atención del propietario, calidad-precio, ubicación y limpieza. Como negativo, un poco ruidoso que se solventa con unos tapones y el hecho de existir únicamente un baño para cuatro habitaciones. Totalmente recomendable
The apartment is comfortable and cozy, even when all the rooms are full there's no any problem with the use of the bathroom and kitchen. Apartment was cleaned everyday, all the peoples in the apartments follow the rules, that's make easier and convenient the stay. The location is awesome, there is a bunch of great restaurants nearby and there are 3 different train routes available just 3 blocks of distances. there's also a bunch of places nearby to buy NY city souvenirs, ATM's in every corner and the neighborhood is very safe. John is very kind and always try to help you with your stay. Definitely I would stay again for the next visits to NY, 100% recommended.
John is a very accommodating host. It is difficult toilet him, understandably, as he is like other New Yorkers, a very busy man.
However, he has a system in place that works. I stayed in this flat for 10 days while looking for jobs, and had many neighbours coming and going without any problems.
The location is a 10/10. Cleanliness 9/10 decor 8/10.. Overall a great bargain for your money.
3 problems I had:
1- Never send mail, wish I knew, but it's really difficult to retrieve mail.
2- Too many people using the shower in the morning. Wake up early. (4-8 ppl)
3-Maintanance needed to be done on the bathroom, but john changed the date for that till after check out.
Overall, I'd stay there again, it was a good experience.

the apartment was great! it was clean and nice, everything was arranged well. The neighbours were very quite and the apartment is well situated.
Clean room in a clean flat. Mike was super cool and the location in the heart of Chinatown is awesome if you want somewhere away from all the Times Square nonsense. Would definitely use again!
Stayed at this apartment on the lower eastside for 8 days. The apartment was as presented in the photos and was clean and well appointed. The location was perfect, close to the East Village and Greenwich Village. Close to the Subway, with 7 train providing access direct to Bryant Park (Times Square ) We could not of hoped for a better situated place to stay.. Very safe neighbourhood with my wife taking subway by herself at 10.30pm at night after seeing a Broadway show .The whole Wimdu and host experience ran very smoothly so full marks to both of them. The only suggestion to improve the quality of the apartment would have been a TV with a better reception, as at times we struggled to pick up the one news station ( only a minor criticism ). Yes I would recommend the apartment to others and would stay there again
Clean, basic and noisy. You get what you paid for.
The room was too small for the 3 of us and you couldn´t open a window in the whole flat. It was really hot in NYC, when we were there. "Fresh air" was only provided by air condition. We didn´t see Mike very often, but he is a friendly, decent guy. The place is o.k. for young people who don´t mind living in a shared flat for a while. We wouldn´t recommend the place for a family, but it´s well situated and easy to reach.
For a city trip when you're out all day, definitely enough. The location is very central. The room is very small and has only one window facing the courtyard.
Für eine Städtereise, wenn man den ganzen Tag unterwegs ist, auf jeden Fall ausreichend. Die Lage ist Sehr zentral. Das Zimmer sehr klein und hat nur ein Fenster zum Innenhof.
Excellent place for New York. Quite pricey for basically a place to sleep only. Kitchen minimal, and it is a very small apartment for five people.
Plek uitstekend voor New York. Wel prijzig voor eigenlijk alleen een slaapplek. Keuken minimaal en het is wel een erg klein appartement voor 5 personen.

Town Square
Presenting information to LAFCO for consideration at the March 18 incorporation approval meeting
Original post made by Hal Bailey, another community, on Sep 1, 2008
LAFCO welcomes public input in any form - letters, e-mails, fax and/or public comment during the LAFCO hearing.
Written Communications
Communications and correspondence can be sent to the following:
Contra Costa LAFCO
651 Pine Street, Sixth Floor
Martinez, CA 94553
email@example.com (e-mail)
Written communications received prior to September 9 will be mailed to the Commissioners with the LAFCO agenda packet, will be posted on the LAFCO website, and may be addressed in the LAFCO staff report. Written communications received after agenda distribution will be copied and made available to the Commissioners and the public at the LAFCO hearing on September 18.
Public Comment at the LAFCO Hearing
Protocol - Speakers wishing to speak at the LAFCO hearing must complete a Speaker's Card at the hearing. Speaker's Cards and a Speaker's Card box/depository will be available at the LAFCO hearing. When called, speaker should approach the podium, state name and address for the record, and speak clearly into the microphone. LAFCO meetings are recorded.
Public comments are limited to three minutes. This is to allow everyone who wishes to speak an opportunity.
Some Suggestions - In any effort to allow adequate time for public comment and Commissioner deliberation, LAFCO encourages speakers to avoid repeating comments that were previously stated. Also, if with a group, such as a homeowners or other association, LAFCO encourages groups to appoint a representative to speak on behalf of the group. Again, LAFCO wants to assure that everyone who wishes to speak has a turn.
LAFCO requests that written communications be provided in advance of the LAFCO hearing to allow LAFCO staff time to make copies for the Commissioners and the public. However, if written communications are presented at the LAFCO hearing, a copy should be given to the LAFCO Clerk for the record. Also, LAFCO encourages those who wish to read their written letters to summarize.
LAFCO hopes this information is useful.

Just checking to see if you are paying attention (Smile):
The LAFCO meeting is September 18, Creekside Church, Danville Blvd and La Serena. Come at 4PM to review the various position statements to be circulated by various groups. Incorporation proponents, incorporation opponents, expanded boundary advocates, more defined government advocates, and Walnut Creek annexation advocates will be on-hand with documentation for your consideration.

Like HAL, we were waiting for Aljamo Ron, Informed Resident, Lucy and others to provide commentary during the "quiet period" prescribed by regional politics for incorporation proponents. A "quiet period it is" exclaimed the many neighbors no longer interested in incorporation but entertained by incorporation commentary.
Let us be sure to note that the reprint of LAFCO guidance is sincere and all commentary prior to the September 18 meeting is invited and recommended. Be assured that the decision on incorporation approval has already been made and any submission of information to LAFCO is simply documentation of position without purpose.

To our region's neighbors,
Please read Mr. Chris Kenber's article in the Alamo Today, www.alamotoday.com. Chris has been generous in leading AIM's efforts to provide information to our region and has focused a summary on why incorporation makes sense for our region starting with the AIM boundaries. Chris did not define the government proposed so a question remains for voters to determine what they are voting for, but the article creates the issues for discussion that should occur as we all move toward LAFCO's approval planned for September 18.
I am quite sure that Chris, in one-to-one conversations or group discussion, would discuss definition of our government. More importantly, we all have until September 9 to submit formal positions to Ms. Lou Ann Texeira, LAFCO Executive, for inclusion in LAFCO commissioners' discussion on September 18. Appropriately, your submssions to email@example.com should be copied to firstname.lastname@example.com so Chris and other AIM committee members can plan their presentations at the September 18 meeting.
It is a great article by Chris and should be reviewed carefully,
Hal Bailey

Let me pretend to be our friend Ron,
We need to all be quiet and let LAFCO decide in our favor that we can be a newly incorporated city (town) in California. The LAFCO commissioners have all input and studies to fairly decide if Alamo (whereever the HAL that is) can be an incorporated town.
I suggest that everyone just hold their comments until after the LAFCO vote and then we can all come together as neighbors to define the town government that will serve us all.
Now, I feel better!

As usual, you had nothing to say and you said it. Once again, a clever and very humorous oxymoron. Applause!
The reality, Ron, is neighborhoods, districts and groups are proceeding with position statements to be placed in LAFCO commissioners' documentation for prior review of incorporation approval consideration, September 18, 2008. Well-considered and counseled positions will present incorporation opposition, definition, annexation and exclusion on behalf of significant numbers of residents. The resulting documentation will be the basis of regulatory, legislative and court actions, if necessary, going forward.
We can all celebrate that our region is populated with very savvy, informed residents.
Alamo Ron, One HAL of a Pal

The Institute grew out of scientific discovery and technological advances at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and the realization that understanding of physical Earth had broad and complicated social consequences. Through on-the-ground projects in local communities, the Institute makes it possible for social, physical and biological scientists to work in tandem with citizens and local officials, ensuring that scientific information is introduced and implemented to the optimum benefit of communities.
These collaborations and many others are shedding new light on the intricate interconnections of humans with biological and physical processes. While many of the projects focus on particular problems in real locations and in real time, the Institute's research is intended to have broader-reaching effects globally and to serve as the basis for innovation in teaching Earth systems science.

Drawn from classical, medieval, and modern sources—including the imperial collections of the Manyoshu and Kokinshu—the poems in this collection are some of the greatest love poems from the Japanese tradition. The poems range in tone from the spiritual longing of an isolated monk to the erotic ecstasy of a court princess—but share the extraordinary simplicity and luminosity of language that marks Kenneth Rexroth's verse style. An introduction by the poet and translator Sam Hamill, the editor of this collection, and short biographies of the poets are included.
The Shambhala Library is a series of exquisitely designed and produced cloth editions of the world's spiritual and literary classics, both ancient and modern. Perfect for collecting or as gifts, each volume features a sewn binding, decorative endsheets, and a ribbon marker—a delightful-to-hold 4 ¼ x 6 ¾ trim size.
News & Reviews
"Kenneth Rexroth's readings from the Japanese master poets are breathtaking in their simplicity and clarity." —New York Times Book Review
"Rexroth's subtle translations influenced a generation of American writers. As the examples in this miniature anthology demonstrate, he refused to flatten the text by spelling out every reference and allusion, preserving the Japanese ideal of offering a spring board for the reader's imagination." —L.A.

May 26, 2009 By Steve Towns
With billions of stimulus dollars heading for state coffers, CIOs are urging the federal government to loosen funding rules they say promote poor IT system design and inefficient use of precious funds.
Shortly after last November's election, representatives from the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) met with President Barack Obama's transition team about modifying rules for spending money given to states for operating federal health care, transportation, social services and public safety programs. NASCIO contends that cost-allocation guidelines and technology requirements tied to these funds often clash with state data-sharing and ecnterprise architecture initiatives.
"Those were good rules 20 years ago because they made sense in a highly distributed computing environment. But today, they perpetuate silos," said NASCIO President Gopal Khanna, the CIO of Minnesota. "As new funding comes in and IT spending is being planned at the state and local level, my hope is that the federal government would be aware of the reality and not perpetuate the silos. It defeats the whole purpose of enterprise architecture."
Before passage of the stimulus package, NASCIO projected that the U.S. government would give states more than $300 billion in 2009 to administer and deliver federal programs. A big chunk of that money will go toward computer hardware and software that's purchased and maintained by state agencies. But state CIOs say federal accounting rules and restrictions on commingling funds for one program with those for another lead to stand-alone information systems that can't communicate with one another - even when the systems are used to deliver closely related programs. Furthermore, inconsistent technology requirements built into federal programs frustrate state efforts to create shared services and enterprise IT structures.
With the prospect of even more billions flowing into state governments thanks to the stimulus bill, overhauling federal funding rules takes on even greater urgency, Khanna said.
"It is one of the areas that has caused a lot of waste in government. From a purely business perspective on behalf of the citizens, it makes sense to leverage the money to do more," he said. "When you have duplicate architectures created at the state level, money is being wasted. Second, when you construct different architectures and islands of optimization, they are counterintuitive to this whole idea of interoperability."
But big changes may not come as fast as state CIOs would like. NASCIO Executive Director Doug Robinson said major reforms won't happen during the initial round of stimulus activity because changing the rules now would slow the flow of stimulus dollars into the nation's staggering economy.
"Significant changes are unlikely at this point because of the speed at which this is moving," Robinson said shortly after attending a March 12 stimulus implementation conference hosted by Vice President Joe Biden. "The formula grant funding - and some of the other grants - is being channeled through the existing programs, so they don't have to create a lot of new funding channels."
At press time, states already were receiving billions of dollars in formula grants for health and human services, education and transportation. But officials were waiting for the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to issue rules for competitive grants, as well as for tracking and reporting how stimulus money is spent. Robinson said the OMB could start to address the funding-restriction problem by encouraging stimulus fund recipients to coordinate with their state CIO when using the money for technology upgrades.
The long-term outlook for funding reform is more encouraging.

Help: Will Administrators help support Neighborhood Schools?
Original post made by Parent, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Oct 20, 2006
It strikes me that if PAUSD decides to move to an Alterative/Choice program model, away from Neighborhood Schools, then the concept of Site centered leadership (i.e.: site principles) becomes obsolete to the concept of Program Directors.
It strikes me that a successful Alternative program model requires program leadership that is particularly peaked, knowledgeable, experienced, by Program, an organization of specialists rather than generalists organized by geography. Decisions for those programs for everything from staffing, funding decisions, curriculum, student performance, accountability, all would probably need to run through a program director for ideal results.
We already have seen this at work with our current choice programs, with the principals and/or programs moved and matched to create alignment of expertise, interest and experience (Spanish Immersion, Hoover come to mind.) I'm sure the same would need to occur for a successful Mandarin Immersion choice program.
I'm not arguing against this organizational structure, since it is probably the way it has to be if we are to be a district of Alternative/Choice programs. We will need program specific experts running those programs for optimal results, rather than site generalists. But it will have an impact on the types of administrators PAUSD employs in the future.
It's a philosophical change for this district, and it really hinges on whether this community supports moving away from generally equivalent Neighborhood schools to a district primarily of Choice Programs. It's a strategy decision the Board should be making publicly (with public and educator inputs). So far the board has not been acknowledging the need to address the broader strategy implications before they make more yay/nay decisions on additional choice programs.
Can or will the administrators take the opportunity to support our Neighborhood Schools? They'll have a mediator now, so perhaps they have a golden window of opportunity NOW to stand up for what they believe.
(Whatever that may be, because certainly we've heard not much about which model they support, perhaps fear or political correctness has squelched their voices to this point.)
I wonder if this long term strategic model is something the principles and administrators are thinking about, and talking to the board about. Perhaps they are in a unique position of bargaining power right now to help support the Neighborhood School concept. I hope so. Please help us save our neighborhood schools.

one new program in 12 years, working through 4 years of guidelines, policies, and adminstrative processes, is not moving the district to a choice model.
get some perspective!
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Oct 20, 2006 at 2:04 pm
It certainly is 1 step farther away from a Neighborhood model. And if the district spent 4 long arduous years working out guidelines, policies and administrative processes to pave the way for a new choice program, why would we think it stops with just one? Doesn't this set the stage and the precendent for more to come in quite easily? Why not? (Is the board making policy statements on 'it stops here'? No,they are not.)
But even so, maybe the administrators and princpals are completely neutral and indifferent on this anyway. Why should they care? If they don't care, I don't care. Its not my job(s).

Hoover and Ohlone were established over 30 years ago. Check Web Link and Web Link . Spanish immersion started in 1995, 11 years ago. Mandarin immersion supporters have been working for over 4 years, and it will not pilot before 2007 at the earliest. Choice program guidelines were established about a decade ago, and revisited in 2002. Web Link
If MI will be established, that will make almost 3 elementary schools out of 12 to be a choice schools (2 schools, 2 immersion strands that equal to about 2/3 of a school) instead of today's ... almost 3 schools.
Methink the fear of flooding Palo Alto with choice programs, while abandoning the neighborhood school model, is somewhat premature.
