Warm summer nights are perfect for stargazing and this month's activities will focus on upcoming meteor showers. In late July and early August we may see the Delta Aquarids
though they are most prominent in the Southern Hemisphere and southernmost latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere. They're expected to peak around July 29-30, with the most favorable sightings between midnight and dawn.
In mid August, from approximately the 10th-13th, the Perseid meteor shower will make its annual trek through the northern hemisphere. The shower builds gradually to a peak, often producing 50 to 100 meteors per hour in a dark sky. They are typically fast and bright meteors with persistent trains. Combined with the Delta Aquarid shower, it's the year's most dazzling display of shooting stars. For further information on these and other meteor showers throughout the year visit http://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/earthskys-meteor-shower-guide.
A great resource for additional stargazing activities and free printables, including constellations guides, is NASA's website at www.spaceplace.nasa.gov.
Perhaps staying up late might be an opportunity for a party, or some celebratory snacks at least. From the Big Book of Things to Make, edited by James Mitchem, you may want to try the Glow-in-the-dark-jello.
You will need:
1 package jello
Tonic water (name brand for best results)
1 Tbsp sugar
Jello mold or plastic bowl
UV light (inexpensive and available at most hardware stores)
Prepare the jello as directed on the package using the tonic water as a replacement for the plain water. Add the sugar to sweeten – tonic water has a bitter aftertaste. Quinine, a substance found in tonic water, is what makes the jello glow. Let your jello set in a mold or bowl or individual cups. When it's set, turn out of the bowls and shine the UV light on it to see it glow!
For a daytime star activity, head to the beach to collect some Falling Star Dust (from Go Outside: Over 130 activities for outdoor adventures by Nancy Blakey. You'll need a heavy duty magnet (available at hardware stores) tied to a length of string approximately 5 feet. This works best on a beach or you can also try a large open grassy area. Drag the magnet through the sand or across the field. Use a magnifying glass to observe your collected particles. Meteors are partly composed of iron and nickel causing the star dust to stick to your magnet.
Have fun and don't forget to make a wish!

Coach Mike Shanahan said the Washington Redskins can't count on Robert Griffin III to be on the field when the regular season begins.
Shanahan said Wednesday that they aren't pushing Griffin -- because he doesn't need the nudge -- and are preparing second-year quarterback Kurt Cousins by giving him all the first-team reps in the offseason and into training camp.
"If hard work has anything to do with it, (RG3) will be ready," Shanahan said at the owners meetings in Phoenix.
Griffin had surgery to repair torn knee ligaments after he was injured Jan. 8 in the playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Cousins, drafted in the fourth round, started one game -- a victory at Cleveland -- when Griffin sat out with a knee strain and completed 33 of 48 passes for 466 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions last season.
"Kirk Cousins will work at the quarterback position and he'll have all the reps in the offseason," Shanahan said. "Robert will have a lot of reps, but it will all be mental (repetitions). He'll know when he's 100 percent. He'll know what he can do on the football field, what he can do through practices, and he will not come back until he's 100 percent."
Fans of the Redskins might be alarmed to hear Shanahan imply Griffin will have some level of influence in when he's allowed back on the field.
Griffin "promised" Shanahan he was hurting, not injured, in the playoff loss to the Seahawks in January. It turned out he was hurting and injured.

While we were in El Salvador we ate breakfast a couple times at a restaurant in Metrocentro called San Martin's. One day I ordered something called "El Desayuno Universitario" (The University Student Breakfast). It was made of humble ingredients – french bread, cheese, beans, and a fresh salsa. I loved it.
Since coming back to the United States, I make this often – though usually for lunch or dinner. The entire family loves it, it's affordable, healthy and easy to make. Here's my version!
El Desayuno Universitario (The University Student Breakfast)
French bread or bolillos sliced in half
Frijoles Molidos (refried beans)
Mozzarella cheese cut in slices or shredded
1. Place bread slices on an ungreased baking sheet.
2. Spoon frijoles molidos onto the bread and spread to the edges with the back of the spoon.
3. Top each piece of bread with cheese.
4. Bake in the oven at 350 F until cheese is melted and bread is slightly toasted.
Optional: Put under a broiler to brown the cheese.
Serve with chunky-style salsa to spoon on top. I like to dice tomatoes with fresh basil and then add a little bit of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper, so it's kind of like a Salvadoran version of bruschetta.

While the word patchouli might call to mind images of the hippie generation, this sophisticated fragrance couldn't be further from that. Designed by Atelier Cologne's fragrance expert Jérome Epinette, Mistral Patchouli uses grapefruit and black pepper notes to enhance a base of Indonesian patchouli. Equal parts zesty and earthy, the enticing result is more "leading man" than "flower child."

Police plan seat belt, DUII enforcement efforts
BEND, Ore. - Law Enforcement agencies from Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties are joining the State of Oregon in a 14-day traffic enforcement blitz dedicated to night time/daytime safety belt usage and prohibition of minors in open pickup beds from May 20 through June 2.
Local agencies involved in the increased enforcement include the Bend Police Department, Crook County Sheriff's Office, Deschutes County Sheriff's Office, Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, Oregon State Police, Prineville Police Department, and Redmond Police Department.
Participating agencies will provide regular and overtime enforcement focused on night time/daytime belt use and other moving violations. The enforcement is funded by overtime funds through the Oregon Department of Transportation.
Oregon has the second highest safety belt use among U.S. states with 97% of the motoring public observed using safety belts routinely. This is good news, as consistent belt use is the single most effective way to protect motor vehicle occupants from crash injury or death, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Last year in Oregon, 215 motor vehicle occupants died in crashes. Sixty-one of those individuals were unbelted; forty-nine of the unbelted fatal crashes were pickup occupants with two-thirds of them dying in night time crashes. Proper use of safety belt and child safety systems can reduce the risk of crash injury by as much as 70% or more.
This will be the second of three seat belt blitzes to be performed in 2013. For additional information, please contact Lieutenant Chris Carney at the Bend Police Department at 541-322-2978.
Deschutes County Sheriff's Office release:
The Oregon Safety Belt Overtime Campaign is a statewide selective traffic enforcement program that seeks to reduce the number of motor vehicle-related deaths and injuries by increasing public awareness of laws regarding the three most prevalent factors contributing to traffic crash injuries: safety restraint use, speed, and impaired drivers.
A statewide observation survey has found 97 percent of Oregon's motoring public using safety belts, making Oregon the second-highest state for compliance of belt use in our country.
Since the 1990 passage of Oregon's adult belt law, observed belt use among the motoring public has doubled from 50 percent to 97 percent while crash fatality and injury rates have both dramatically decreased from 59 percent and 37 percent respectively. Proper use of safety belt and child safety systems can reduce the risk of crash injury by as much as 70% or more.
The Deschutes County Sheriff's Office is increasing traffic patrols during daylight hours for the purpose of enforcing seat belt and child restraint violations during this two-week campaign.
The sheriff's office is also increasing traffic patrols during nighttime hours to focus on DUII enforcement. The campaign will run from May 23 through May 27, focusing on the Memorial Day weekend.
The sheriff's office, along with the Oregon Department of Transportation encourages all drivers and passengers to make a conscious effort to use their seat belt at all times while traveling in a motor vehicle, regardless of the distance traveled.
Furthermore, we encourage all drivers to drink responsibly. If drivers intend to drink, please plan ahead and use a designated driver or public transportation such as a taxi or the local bus system.

What happens when you're arrested for DUII?
Matt McDonald goes through the process
BEND, Ore. - It's five o'clock, the work day is over and like so many in Bend, you head to your favorite brewery for a drink with your friends.
Those two pints of seasonal ale may have the same amount of alcohol as five bottles of Bud Light.
You may not be as OK to drive as you think.
A DUII traffic stop starts like any other stop: lights flashing, the driver slowly pulling to the curb.
From there, it's the officer's observations, everything from the smell of alcohol to how confused the driver appears when answering questions.
A field sobriety test is next. First, the gaze test, the driver simply asked to follow the tip of a pen with their eyes. Next, the walk and turn. Walk a straight line counting each step. Finally, the one leg stand.
The results are not strictly based on performance, but how the driver reacts, how well they understand the instructions and how they perform each task. If a driver fails two out of three, national statistics show there is a high likelihood they are intoxicated.
At the point of arrest, the driver is cuffed, the car impounded and it's off to jail.
After a series of questions and an explanation of rights, the driver is asked to take a Breathalyzer, to test the blood alcohol level.
But be aware: Saying no results in higher penalties than taking the test and failing. If you refuse, the officer can also call a judge and ask for a warrant to draw your blood.
After a failed breath test, the driver is passed on to jail staff. Frisked, searched, shoes taken and socks examined.
After fingerprinting and mugshots, the driver is put in a holding cell and at last able to call a friend for a ride home.
First-time offenders that meet a myriad of qualifications, including no other pending charges, can enter a diversion program.
That route will remove the DUII from the driver's record at the end of successful completion, which takes a year.
It's not cheap. The driver has to pay the court and other assessment fees around $700. Twelve weeks of alcohol counseling will cost around $630.
And some insurance companies will drop the driver automatically. Insurance is available, but expect to pay quadruple what you were paying before you got pulled over.

Reviews of this property
I was looking for peace and relaxation. I found everything there.
I slept wonderfully, had everything I needed.
The house is clean and has everything you need.
Homer is a very old friend and looks forward to each visit.
I would stay here again!
Thank you Angie! :)
Angie is a lovely nice lady and very helpful. I had 2 nights stay in Edinburgh and really enjoyed it. Would go back again ... hope soon!
Angie is a wonderful hostess! She has received me with open arms. The room was clean and quiet. She has provided me with many useful information around Edinburgh. The apartment is conveniently located between the airport and downtown. There is a very good bus service into the city. I had coffee, tea, bread, butter, jam and kitchen use for free. Would go back anytime!
Angie ist eine wunderbare Gastgeberin! Sie hat mich mit offenen Armen aufgenommen. Das Zimmer war sauber und ruhig. Sie hat mich mit vielen nützlichen Informationen rund um Edinburgh versorgt. Die Wohnung liegt günstig zwischen Flughafen und Innenstadt. Es gibt eine sehr gute Busverbindung in die City. Ich hatte Kaffee, Tee, Brot, Butter, Marmelade und die Küchennutzung zur freien Verfügung. Würde jederzeit wieder kommen!
I am fully satisfied with accomodation and Angie´s service. Very nice place with excelent bus connection to the City. There is nothing like spend vacation in this quiet place. Thank you, Angie and I hope to meet you again and regards from Czech Republic.
Delightful warm welcome and stay, very comfortable bed and room, nice and peaceful. Thanks so much Angie. Sue.
I couldn't be happier with the room, service, and great friendliness that Angie showed in helping me with bus routes, sorting out some general details of my trip, and just general conversation. Extremely comfortable bed, by the way - slept very well. I would absolutely recommend a stay with Angie for anyone visiting Edinburgh. Also, it is a pretty easy trip to the city center by bus. Enid Eng
We had a really goof time! Angie is really helpful and friendly. Public transport is close to the house, so you can get into the city very quick. Facilities were really clean. All you can ask for.
Angie is an excellent host, friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately our English is so limited and Spanish null prevented us communicate what we wanted. The house is nice and very, very clean. the room is comfortable, great bed and very good internet connection. Homer, his cat, loved it.
Angie es una excelente anfitriona, simpática y acogedora. Lamentablemente nuestro inglés es tan limitado y su español nulo que nos impidió comunicarnos lo que deseábamos.
La casa es agradable y muy, muy limpia. la habitación es cómoda, la cama estupenda y la conexión a internet muy buena.
Homer, su gato, me encantó.
I had an amazing time with Angie - a great person and very relaxed host. I'd always come back because it felt like being at home. It is clean and there is just everything you need, the bed is super cosy, the house is nice and warm and you have an easy access to the city centre.
I will miss the funny evenings with her and the cute little Homer but it was for sure not the last time we met :)

"And, our method of destroying people we didn't like by gassing and burning? Look at Waco!
"Today the American Government hates Christians as much as you did , and, as you can tell by its expanding anti-Israel policy, it is turning against the Jewish people.
"And, your method of controlling children via 'Youth Corps,' well, with 'Midnight Basketball,' etc., America is trying that, too.
"Your 1938 anti-gun law has been written virtually verbatim into American law as the Gun Control Act of 1968.
"Your policy of taking private property without trial was very common. This government calls it 'asset seizure' or 'property forfeiture,' but it is done the same way you did!

"And, remember how you controlled the press and movie industry? That same policy is in operation in America today.

I believed that I spent more time with the report that exploiting the target, hahahahaha, now I am realy learning how to make a report.
By the way you learn a lot doing the report, because you have to read and make sure that the vulnerability or attack vector that you are putting there, match with your prove, so in other words you validate your own exploit.
I believe that is good.

My box of supers--ripped open and the UPS driver handed me a handful of nails and said "I found these on the floor of the truck, I bet they're yours."
also I bought the non-wired wax foundation, 100 sheets, and now my father tells me I should have gotten the wired foundation, and that the non-wired wax foundation isn't good for extraction.
I would be using wire and embedder with the non-wire wax foundations.
Is this true? Should I return the foundation I bought for wired foundation?
I'm irritated right now.
Just Got Done Nailing Frames From Kellys, Never Had Any Problem On Orders From Them Always Boxed Vey Well, Dont Know About V Cut I Have Some Old Frames With And Without It. I Would Put The Foundation In I Had And Then I Use 024 Mig Welder Wire Laced Through End Holes In Frame. I Have Bees Being Shipped From Them Tomorrow I'll Find Out How Thir Shipping Is On Them, They Have Always Been Quick For Me And Price Is Good
Give Kelley Co. a call. They have a new owner and they are changing some designs. I noticed that the front end of their screened bottom boards changed.
Kelley does have the best frames! I would not be sad to see the "V" end bar go. Commercial beekeepers cannot use Kelley frames because that "V" causes their automatic uncapping machines to jam.
You do have the wrong foundation for extracting. I use Kelley's thin foundation (no wires) for Ross Round comb honey and Kelley medium wax foundation (no wires) for cut comb honey. What thickness is your foundation? Kelley does have the best wax foundation.
The best combination for beginners, and one that I use myself, is Kelley's frames with a grooved top bar and grooved bottom bar. I combine that with Mann Lake's "Rite Cell" unwaxed plastic foundation. I add my own beeswax. The beeswax from the factory is not thick enough.
Once you buy plastic foundation you will never have to buy another piece of foundation. If you own a power sprayer, clean the plastic foundation with the power sprayer and add your own beeswax.
Good Luck. There is a learning curve in beekeeping, so be patient. Mistakes are just a learning opportunity. I have been keeping bees since 1963 and I am still learning better ways of doing things. My mistakes would fill up a number of garbage cans.
You speak of waxing the plastic foundations. How do you do that. I just bought an apiary kit(Mann Lake) and got the "waxed" plastic foundations. Can or should I add more wax to them. They do seem thin on wax. Also I do have some wire embedded wax foundation I have aquired. Can I remove the plastic and use the wax foundation in its place?
(My Apricots are blooming!here in NW Missouri!!! yippee )
The bees hate plastic foundation. Therefore, add some beeswax, if you have some, to the "waxed" plastic foundation. There is an article in one of the recent bee journals on how to do it. The author used a small roller from Wal-Mart. This method might be too slow for a commercial beekeeper. A commercial beekeeper might dip the plastic foundation into a vat of wax and water. Just be sure to shake the plastic foundation to get some of the wax off. The bees love the extra wax and will draw out the foundation in short order.
i just bought a box of 50 shallow super frames with divided bottom bars today(4/19) and they had the V cut on one side just as always.
"Wine is a constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy" Ben Franklin
One of the boards used for the super was impaled with two nails and had probably two dozen nail holes in it, incurred by movement during shippin and poor packing.
I have bought a lot of items from Kelley and have found their packaging the most secure I have ever seen. the boxes are glued and taped very tightly. as a matter of fact, I find it very hard to open the packages because they are so secure. The only complaint I have is that creepy bee man logo. Part bee, Part man. It reminds me of "THE FLY"
I just bought some Kelly frames(to replace my duracell for my nucs) and they had a v-cut on one side. My question is what is this v cut used for? (I assembled a few frames w/ the v on the right instead of left)
You always put them on the opposite sides (but the same opposite sides on each frame) so that if you flip a frame it's still the same (like a "Z"). The purpose is to make it easier to get a hive tool between the end bars.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
I find that once I trim 1/16" off each side of the end bars - to have the frames 1-1/4" wide, that the "V" edge is almost obliterated anyways.
48 years - 50 hives - TF
Joseph Clemens -- Website Under Constructioni
I bought approx 1200 frames from Kelley's back in Feb. I think only 100 of them had the "V" notch on the end bar. Must have been some left over. Apparently they are doing away with it.

After all the brouhaha with men, it will be a RELIEF to watch the one discipline where COP has actually worked like gangbusters. Dance.
It is a strange, strange, strange world sometimes!
Looking forward to the free a lot.
It will be interesting to see whether Davis & White hang onto their lead, and if they do by how much! Should be an amazing competition. I'm hoping team GB do well too, Coomes & Buckland had a great short
Good luck, W/P and V/M
So, the FD begins at 2:30 PM (EDT), right? Just checking. I'm looking forward to seeing beautiful programs and (hopefully) appropriate scores for all the skaters. Can't wait to watch C/L's "Carmen". Those two add such drama (Italian style, of course) to this overused music that I don't mind hearing it again (still have Cotton Eye Joe running in my head from two nights ago so maybe a good dose of "Carmen" will cure me). Looking forward to seeing W/P's revised FD - what a miracle that she's back on the ice and competing. And will be keeping my fingers crossed that D/W skate a perfect FD. It's amazing to me how much better this program is than when I first saw it last fall (truly disliked it then; think it's the music that just doesn't appeal to me but their skating is, for me, always so exciting).
The judging panel looks like a dream----for the Russian dancers:
Looks as if Bobrova/Soloviev will win their first World medal.
No Canadian or US judge? Is it because they're in technical specialist panel?
No. You can do both.
Does anyone have a link for eurosports?
Is NBC doing any broadcasting live in the US?

It's been another one of those weeks, when every day has brought a new jaw-dropping revelation about the unbridled, unmitigated, unabashed corruption of what formerly was "our" government. We have an election coming in a year and a half, and we clearly have our work cut out for ourselves. Let's make a brief summary of the abuse America has been subjected to this week by her self-appointed, and self-anointed "leaders."
The cesspool that used to be the Senate voted 95-5 for a blatantly unconstitutional bill, misleadingly named the America Invents Act, S. 23. This bill destroys over 200 years of patent protections for American inventors, and imposes, instead, "global standards" that amount to a giveaway of American inventions to the Chinese. Phyllis Schlafly has been warning about this bill and its consequences for some time, but her astute analysis has apparently been ignored by the smarter-than-the-average-rocks in the Senate. In her latest piece, she goes into the unconstitutionality of this new outrage. It is well worth a look, since it's clear the Senate didn't.
In another sleight-of-hand move, the Senate voted to approve an amendment to….

The exposure to toxic chemicals in the air outside some schools appears so high that students could be at risk of suffering a range of ailments, from asthma to cancer.
After an annual Oktoberfest celebration at school, parents pushed for action to address pollution issues.
Most safety assessments based on the effect chemicals have on adults in workplace, not on kids at school.
The exposure to toxic chemicals in the air at some schools is so high that students are at risk of suffering a range of ailments, from asthma to cancer.
The chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, Barbara Boxer, pledges to "do what I have to do" to ensure monitoring across the U.S. Boxer calls lack of monitoring a "shocking story of child neglect."
For years, Louisville has been known for fast horses, fine bourbon, a love of college basketball — and lousy air.
USA TODAY found 20,000 schools within a half-mile of a major industrial plant that emits potentially dangerous chemicals. Many of those locations are elementary or pre-kindergarten schools.
Twenty-three states have no regulations to compel school officials to consider environmental dangers when picking a spot to build.
President-elect Barack Obama's choice to head the Environmental Protection Agency promised Wednesday that she would deploy federal regulators to check air quality around schools in response to a USA TODAY investigation that identified hundreds of schools that appeared to be in toxic hot spots.
The nation's environmental policies should be based on science, not interference from political appointees, President-elect Barack Obama's nominee to lead the Environmental Protection Agency told Senate lawmakers.
In an unprecedented step aimed at protecting children from toxic chemicals, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is expected to announce plans Monday to determine whether industrial pollution taints the air outside schools across the nation.
State environmental officials in Louisiana and Pennsylvania have released results of short-term air monitoring for toxic chemicals near schools, and in both states officials say the tests showed no health threats.
Louisiana's state report
Midland, Pa., Elementary/Middle School
Phoenixville, Pa., Area Kindergarten Center
Stony Brook Elementary School, York, Penn.
Wayne Middle School, Erie, Penn.
In its most sweeping effort to determine whether toxic chemicals permeate the air schoolchildren breathe, the Environmental Protection Agency is expected to announce plans today to monitor the air outside 62 schools in 22 states.
Educators and residents are welcoming EPA monitoring of the air around local schools.
In a move that could signal a fundamental shift in how industrial pollution is regulated, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has pledged to reconsider how it estimates the amount of toxic chemicals that refineries and petrochemical plants release.
USA TODAY found carbon tetrachloride outside 70 of 95 schools in 30 states it monitored for a week last fall as part of its "Smokestack Effect" series, yet there were no obvious industrial sources to explain the readings.
The government's latest snapshot of air pollution across the nation shows residents of New York, Oregon and California faced the highest risk of developing cancer from breathing toxic chemicals.
Questions remain about dangers from long-term exposures to high levels of chromium and manganese in Allegheny County, which may affect brain development, behavior and the ability to learn, especially in children.
Outside 15 schools in eight states, government regulators have found elevated levels of a substance that — in a more potent form — was used as a chemical weapon during World War I.
Regulators found high levels of neurotoxic manganese in the air outside two schools in Ohio and West Virginia.
Government regulators have found high levels of manganese in the air outside a school in eastern Ohio.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency pledged to "use all the tools at our disposal" to reduce high levels of a toxic chemical that continues to permeate the air outside an elementary school in Marietta, Ohio.
During the past decade, the Environmental Protection Agency's commitment to keeping children safe from the effects of pollution has lapsed, according to a report released by the Government Accountability Office.
Pennsylvania regulators moved to shut down a Coke plant in Erie for repeatedly violating state environmental laws.
A plastics company cited several years ago for releasing harmful gasses into the air around an elementary school will donate $750,000 to the school district.
USA TODAY examines the impact of industrial pollution outside the nation's schools and explores how toxic chemicals shuttered one elementary school in Addyston, Ohio, three years ago.
A USA TODAY analysis of EPA data indicated that the air outside these schools had the highest levels of dangerous toxic chemicals, most of which have never been tested for their effects on children.
Each refinery, steel mill or factory that emits a significant amount of toxic chemicals must report how much it releases each year to the Environmental Protection Agency. EPA periodically calculates how those chemicals are dispersed through every square kilometer throughout the country.
Dr. Philip J. Landrigan, Chairman of the Department of Community and Preventive Medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, talks about what parents and authorities can do with information about toxic chemicals that might be outside their schools.
USA TODAY monitors for chemicals outside almost 100 schools around the nation. Its findings, experts say, should prompt the government to take a harder look.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Very central. A lot of traffic, but easy to get around the city by foot. Very good service at arrival at the office at Opletalova. Two rooms all together, one bedroom behind the kitchen, and the other room with 2-3 beds and a dining table, so it's might be a bit crammed for 5 grownups / larger kids, if you stayed for a longer period of time. Nice interior and clean place. If you go by car: Reserve a parking lot before arrival, e.g. at Mr. Parkit - the price is fair and you cannot park in the street, you can only stop for a while to drop off the suitcases etc.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We really enjoyed our stay in Prag!
When we have booked this flat, Alex and Anastasia had contact us even before our stay. They were so friendly and let us know all the important information. When we arrived in Prag, we got a map with all the important stuff on it and Alex also sent a mail to ask, if everything is okay. The apartment was cosy and clean and just a few steps from Wenceslas Square.
We really recommend this flat! :)
A huge thank you to Alex and Anastasia, you made our stay unforgettable.
location of the office and the apartment is very close to the main station and the inner city and therefore easily to reach by foot. people in the office are friendly, proper english speaking and helpfull. the apartment itself gave a great impression, all clean, well-equipped and working (dish-washer and so on). the perfect base to explore the city and relaxe afterwards.
Everything was in order,but we had only four rusians chanels in TV .We are not Russian :)
The apartment of Alex and Anastasia was beautiful. It is better than shown in photos and description. We got detailed informations ahead for the procedure when we arrived and have to get the keys from their office, which is nearby the central station. The apartment was just 3 min by foot from there. Furthermore we get very useful informations of hotspots and must seen places in Prague. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay in the heart of Prague. We very recommend this apartment.
Nice appartment, in the center of the city, near to all the nice spots in Prague.
The pickup in the airport, was nice, arrangede by Alex and Anastasia. But the transfer from appartment to airport, was not a sycces, we waited for the transfer and nothing happend, i call the office, and they forgot to arrange the transfer, even i send an e-mail the day before, to confirm the transfer, but no respons.
For familyes with kids, have in mind, there are nightclubs in the same street.
But all in all a nice holliday.
Really nice, spacious and fully equipped (good blow dryer!) apartement, only 3 walking minutes to Charles Bridge and about 8-10 walking minutes to city centre, perfect for a city trip!
As we arrvived, Alex gave us many and really good information about Prague and about the apartement neighborhood (where to breakfast, what to visit etc.). So if you come unprepared, after the key and information handover you are well informed! If you have any question, Alex or Anastacia will answer within hours, so really great host service!
We were 10 people and visited Prague for a weekend trip. As we arrived late on Friday, we picked up the keys in a locker which was very comfortable. The flat is really good located and we could reach everything easily by feet. The flat was very clean and modern. All of us liked especially the shower ;)
We had a very nice stay in Prague and all 10 of us were really satisfied wih the flat. I can recommend it for bigger groups as there are 2 bathrooms and enough space for all.
Thank you!
Excellent and spaceous appartment. In city centre, 45 seconds walk from Wencesas Square, reasonably close to the subway station Mustek. Supermarkets and plenty restaurants in walking distance. mini market and nice coffee place, 20m outside the appartment.
I went there with my family of 6. All the kids had a double bed! I would go there again. Also excellent reception by Alex from Ruterra

This is great news. Hopefully the Town Council will use the increased revenues to build its reserves and to fund its unfunded pension liabilities.

SNEADS FERRY, ONSLOW COUNTY - Deputies said an Onslow County man committed sex crimes against two 4-year-old boys.
David Allen John Wells, 19, of Sneads Ferry, turned himself in on Thursday, investigators said. He has been charged with two counts first-degree sex offense against a child, two counts of crime against nature, and three counts of indecent liberties with a child.
"Your thoughts are with people whose children have been abused regardless if it's sexual or however they've been abused," said Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown. "In this case, the parents of the abused children had no knowledge of this going on til after it went on."
According to deputies, the suspect committed the sex crimes against the two 4-year-old boys from May 18 to June 12.
Wells was jailed under a $110,000 secured bond. He's expected back in court July 18 for a probable cause hearing.

On a recent trip through BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge with Jo Whiley, and as all guests who trek through her timeslot do, Foals performed a few songs from their recent album, Total Life Forever. On top of that, their cover song selection was one I had not anticipated in the slightest, yet it works quite nicely, as the boys give their best go at Swedish House Mafia's One (Your Name). Just...oh yeah!
The original track has been burning up dance floors both stateside and internationally, and one might insist that had this Oxford band created this song as performed live in the lounge, it would still be quite the chart topper it is as of now.
The boys say: "It's got a really good energy to it...so we felt like we wanted to go back to our roots. It also has a topical reference to where we recorded the album at..."
Obviously, the release was crafted in Sweden. Obviously, I am 100% in love with this cover.

Caesium Chloride assumes a 'body centred cubic structure' in which each caesium ion is surrounded by $8$ chlorine ions located at the vertices of a cube, and vice-versa.
Mathematically, we can choose cartesian coordinates such that the ions lie on the integer lattice comprising the points $(l, m, n)$ with $l, m,n$ integers. The caesium ions are located at points with $l+m+n$ even and the chlorine ions at points with $l-m-n$ odd.
To start, make sure that you understand why the lattice points represent correctly a body centred cubic structure.
I can transform the points ${\bf v}$ in a lattice by multiplying by a constant matrix $M$ or adding a constant vector ${\bf c}$ through
{\bf v} \rightarrow {\bf v} +{\bf c}\text{ or } {\bf v} \rightarrow M{\bf v}
Which of the following vectors and matrices preserve exactly the structure of the caesium chloride when they transform the lattice?
$$M =\pmatrix{1&0&0\cr 0&0&-1\cr 0&1&0}\,,\pmatrix{3&0&0\cr 0&1&0\cr 0&0&2}\,,\pmatrix{1&1&-1\cr -1&1&1\cr 1&-1&1}$$
$$ {\bf c} = \pmatrix{1\cr 0\cr 0}\,,\pmatrix{1\cr 1\cr 0}\,,\pmatrix{2\cr 2\cr 2}\,,\pmatrix{4\cr -2\cr -8}$$
In each case prove why the crystal structure is preserved, or explain what goes wrong.
Using your geometrical intuition as a guide, investigate the types of transformations which will leave the crystal invariant.

Where I stayed
Perak Lodge Hotel, Little India
We finally found our exit; the Singaporean metro, the 'Mass Rapid Transport' system (MRT). We enjoyed our first glimpse of Singapore at ground level, passing through the suburbs on the way into the city centre. It was when we had to change trains at an overground station that we first encountered the thick humidity and heat (even before midday); a bit of a shock as we stepped out of air-conditioning for the first time for almost 24 hours. Cargo trousers were quickly rolled-up and trainers became flip flops!
From the metro map, we thought a good place to venture out would be from City Hall station, which was intersected by other lines and appeared close to the ghettos of Chinatown and Little India. How wrong we were! We quickly realised we were in the heart of an administrative district, far from town. We got a taxi to the other side of Chinatown, and then spent the next seven hours (!) trawling our wheeled backpacks across the city.
After investigating accommodation possibilities we picked-up along the way and inspecting countless rooms (all far over our budget), we happened upon a little oasis in the mire of overpriced and sub-standard 'budget' accommodation. Perak Lodge Hotel was a small single-floored building on the outskirts of Little India; exhausted from lack of sleep, overexcitement (now rapidly decreasing), and on the verge of heat stroke, we collapsed inside.
After a night spent recouperating, we armed ourselves with a map and ventured back out into the heat. We had little idea of what there was to see or do in Singapore, and so figured that a general tour of the city would help us to gauge the area and plan the coming days; the Hippo Tours hop-on, hop-off bus presented itself conveniently, and we spent the next few hours circling the city centre then an half hour boat ride along the mouth of the Singapore River and harbour front. This familiarised us well.
We had been looking forward to experiencing Singapore so much, however, that a scenic tour on ground level just wasn't enough at this point; we headed for the London Eye imitation, the Singapore Flyer. Ross had it in his head that dusk would be a great time to view the city; the sun going down, the haze, and neon lights of the business district gradually setting the city alight. Lauren, on the other hand, keen photographer that she is, had been pushing to go in the middle of the afternoon, so the lighting would capture the greenery juxtaposed against the concrete masses just right. The photos Lauren came away with were worth the wait until the evening.
On this first day of exploring, a little in shock at the relatively low prices on most things (except for accommodation), we decided we could afford to treat ourselves to a bit of luxury. Whilst in Chinatown we were lured into having foot reflexology (of course, telling ourselves it was well-deserved, after the pavement pounding we had done the previous day), and later, whilst descending through the Flyer complex after our 'flight', a strange thing caught our attention. A shop seemingly lined with knee high water tanks was offering a 'fish spa' and shoulder massage; closer inspection revealed hundreds of tiny fish in each tank, all desperate to eat dead skin from legs dangled in the water. Well, experiencing new things is the remit of our travelling, and so we both got skinned. A very odd sensation, slightly overwhelming (for Lauren) at first, but very pleasant and fascinating.
Saturday the 10th was Lauren's 26th birthday. Lauren had said long before that she wanted to visit Raffles Hotel on her birthday. So, in the afternoon, we made our way there; first stop, the famous Long Bar, where the infamous Singapore Sling originated. We were served the overpriced, pre-made cocktails (at 15 pounds each!) and did our best to enjoy them and the surroundings. Though enjoyable enough, the place is too much of a tourist attraction, but it had to be done. The highlight was joining the longtime tradition of eating from a bowl of peanuts at each table, and discarding the shells on the floor! Perhaps the most organising Ross had managed to complete successfully before departure was pre-booking a table for two for High Tea in Raffles' Tiffin Room. After ever so elegantly gorging ourselves on a range of delightful food (mostly Oriental), tea and finger cakes, it was time for Lauren's next birthday treat; a body scrub and massage at a spa in Chinatown. After leaving Lauren with the therapists, a cup of ginger tea, and a slight look of trepidation on her face (perhaps it was the bulky stature of the masseuse), Ross took off for something a little less relaxing.
The first challenge was to find the Malaysian railway station near the docks; the intention was to buy train tickets for the short journey across the Malaysian border into Thailand, so that we could demonstrate to Malaysian immigration officials that we had no intention of permanently staying in their lovely land, similarly as we done for entry into Singapore by having bought Air Asia flights from Changi to Kuala Lumpur before we left the UK. We had read plenty of advice online about people being refused entry to various countries in the region without proof of onward travel, and the idea of travelling to the northernmost area of Malaysia, and the cheapness of the tickets (if we changed plans later), appealed. Once there, the second challenge proved to be actually booking the tickets, as the ticket office staff were Malay with limited English. After 20 minutes of discussion and much amateurish gesticulation by Ross, he finally had two tickets for Pedang Besar to Hat Yai for a random date of 4th June in his hands. (What really pissed him off, though, was finding at the end of all this that the only person he hadn't been referred to was the only English-speaking officer they had, who had been in the office the whole time. Ross kept a smile whilst being interrogated about where he came from and which football team he supported; the guy was an ardent Chelsea fan, it transpired.)
Lauren still had a while in the spa when Ross returned, so decided to relax with a beer in Chinatown. His first real experience of culture shock came when he happened upon an open square full of dozens of middle-aged Chinese who were dancing in time in a sort of Country & Western line-dance style!
After collecting Lauren (who reminded Ross they may not be so crazy; afterall, line-dancing was hugely popular in the UK once upon a time...), we explored Chinatown a little more. It was there that Ross (in the midst of feeling guilty about not having a present to give Lauren on her birthday) suggested that a nice tradition to start for the rest of our travels would be to buy Lauren a piece of jewellery, as ethnically-relatable as possible, at the end of each country stay as a memento for that country. With a huge grin, Lauren was quick to dash to the nearest street stall. After a little searching, we found something quite perfect (for Lauren's aesthetic, and for Ross' wallet); a Chinese-style Agate stone bracelet.
The Sunday was the long-anticipated visit to the famous Singapore Zoo and the new Night Safari next door. We set off fairly early in order to make the most of the day, though little did we conceive that we would end up spending over seven hours in the zoo, and then a further four hours in the Night Safari! The zoo was quite different from the typical UK fare; the climate allowed for tropical species roaming outdoors, thus offering great views. The fame for the zoo largely came about from its inhabitants being free from cages or screens, usually with just small moats separating them from the visitors. Lauren was in her element with this, snapping away at all comers.
Our favourite animals included the old tortoise, the tigers, the polar bears, and of course the most famous inhabitants of the zoo, the Proboscis monkeys (so named on account of their huge, bulbous conks - by which we refer to their noses - though other body parts cannot be ignored!). In the heat and humidity, Ross came to realise that his primary sidekick on this journey of discovery was not going to be Lauren, so much as the small blue microfibre handtowel we had brought with him to wipe away the sweat that never, ever ceases (see photo of the handkerchief hat! That idea lasted all of five minutes, Ross hastens to add!). The Night Safari (the premise being visitors could take a tour on a tram or walk round after dark) was an interesting experience. However, we could not help but feel that it was little more than the zoo being recycled. Lauren suffered her first mosquito attack that night (we would only realise a week or so later what a problem that would become).
The Monday marked our last full day in Singapore. Feeling that we had seen Chinatown, Little India, and the city sights several times over by now, we thought we should visit Sentosa Island. It is a little island a short distance from the south of the city, which is being built into a playground for locals and tourists alike, with resort hotels, man-made beaches, theme parks (including a new Universal Studios later this year) and other attractions. We were to enjoy the view on a ride across to the island by cable car from the mainland. Much to our disappointment, the cable car was out of service for a while for maintenance. The other option was a monorail train, so we hopped aboard. Taking this route, it was evident that Sentosa is still a work in progress, and though attractions had been advertised, they were not quite yet ready for us to enjoy. We disembarked right at the far side of the island, on the beachfront overlooking the ocean. There we found the Skyride & Luge; the Skyride much like a ski-lift, taking you up to the peak of the island; the Luge was the means of getting back to the beachfront, and was more or less a toboggan with wheels on a slalom race track. Those who know Ross well know he is not adventurous with heights or rides; Lauren cajoled him into the queue, and it was too hot to argue.
The two-seater Skyride literally swept us off our feet, our buttocks smacking against the thin wooden slats that were the seat. It didn't go too fast and didn't stop-start (unlike the Flyer) much to Ross' relief. However, the tranquility of the initial incline soon gave way to high-rise tension upon being jerkily clanked past the first relay post, and also the trees. We both looked below, ever so briefly, to see that we had cleared the illusion of a carpet of treetops only a small drop below and now the only thing between us and the concrete road below (apart from the thin wooden slats) was about 20m of nothing. Lauren shifted her grip (as evidenced in one of the photos Ross bravely managed to raise his hands a fraction for), and for once Ross was quietly satisfied to see the no-fear Lauren was uncomfortable with heights for a change!
We walked to the western part of the island, which is home to Fort Siloso. This fort, built when Singapore was a prime British trading post during the Victorian era, notably saw action during WWII as defender of Singapore, but quickly succombed to Japanese invasion and then became a POW camp for the rest of the war. As well as these few hours informing us more about the colonial influence on Singapore than we had previously realised, the views from here to the outlying smaller islands and shipping lanes were impressive.
If it wasn't for it smashing our daily budget, and the fact that we had flights booked to Kuala Lumpur, we would have stayed a while longer in Singapore. There was plenty that we didn't get the right chance to see, particularly places outside of the city proper (for example, the treetop walkway at the MacRitchie Reservoir). What we did get to see was photographed extensively, though unfortunately the climate disposes the skies to grey a lot of the time. We agreed that Singapore is somewhere we could both live for a few years. We had anticipated it being a rather clinical (perhaps boring) place, but found that whilst it is remarkably efficient in its running (and the government might seem cringingly enthusiastic to get the right message across - safety signs were everywhere, as well as posters to motivate their people into being perfect citizens), life is vibrant, busy, and with enough diversity to make the place unendingly interesting.

Fixing the world
Tired of a world gone out of whack? Sick of pervasive dysfunction?
Fix it.
Start by locating the problem. Most of us misunderstand where the troubles really begin. We think of them being "out there." Mark Twain put it thus: "Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits."
But Pogo, another irascible observer of human foibles, suggested we turn the telescope around: "We have met the enemy, and he is us."
Much of what we dislike about the world is actually stuff we dislike about ourselves. If, for instance, we deplore selfishness and see the world as an uncaring place, chances are we're projecting our own inner shortcomings out onto the screen of everyday life, thus freeing ourselves from responsibility for the self-absorption that keeps us cut off from others. The human mind is a tricky mechanism. It allows us all manner of self-deception.
But whether or not you buy the idea that the world as you see it simply mirrors what's actually inside your skull, the principle of fixing the world by fixing yourself makes sense.
If, say, you replace your irritable driving habits with patience and courtesy, our roads automatically become safer places. Granted, they might still swarm with hair-trigger idiots who pass you on the right when you're turning left, but there'll be one less idiot among them.
How else can you single-handedly improve the world?
By fixing anything in your own life that's out of synch.
You could, for instance, give away things you no longer need. You could resolve to spend a few minutes each day in quiet contemplation. You could clean up the garage or bedroom or basement or back yard. You could take to recycling and not buying products that aren't recyclable, with the goal of reducing your own output of trash. You might make it a point to beautify your corner of the world by planting flowers or shrubs or tearing down or repainting a scruffy outbuilding.
Each thing you do to make the world less frenzied, less thoughtless, less ugly or less polluted contributes directly and immediately to making it a better place. To the extent that you stop being part of the problem, you automatically become part of the solution.
It's true that you can't wave a magic wand and put an instant end to war and famine. But you can learn to resolve conflict peacefully in your own life, and you can contribute food and clothing to people in need. Fact is, you can do dozens of things that contribute to world transformation.
Make it a habit to encourage everyone you meet. Refrain from gossip. Donate a few hours each month to some cause you find worthy. Take the initiative toward healing a falling-out with someone you used to enjoy. In place of always being right, choose instead to listen to what others are trying to say.
Life is shorter than we think. Opportunities to be together don't last forever. He who dies with the most toys doesn't actually win; he simply leaves the world more cluttered than it was before he lived.
If you'd really like to improve the world, you can. The key is to start with yourself.

Jobs report: More people went on disability than got jobs in June
posted at 1:46 pm on July 6, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Here's a fun tidbit that I missed from the June jobs report. Most months, the number of people transferring out of the workforce on disability claims are easily dwarfed by the people who find jobs. In June? Hope and change, baby:
More workers joined the federal government's disability program in June than got new jobs, according to two new government reports, a clear indicator of how bleak the nation's jobs picture is after three full years of economic recovery.
The economy created just 80,000 jobs in June, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. But that same month, 85,000 workers left the workforce entirely to enroll in the Social Security Disability Insurance program, according to the Social Security Administration.
As Investors Business Daily further notes, that isn't the exception in the Obama recovery, but the rule:
The disability ranks have outpaced job growth throughout President Obama's economic recovery. While the economy has created 2.6 million jobs since June 2009, fully 3.1 million workers signed up for disability benefits.
I discussed this with economist John Lott, co-author of the book Debacle: Obama's War on Jobs and Growth, and What We Can Do Now to Regain Our Future, along with Grover Norquist. Lott explains that as people run out of jobless benefits after the two-year cycle, they look to transfer to a more permanent subsidy. These people have given up hope of finding any kind of work in the future, and probably for good reason; two years without a job makes skill sets erode, and creates anxiety among employers who are definitely in a buyer's market in terms of labor needs. John explains further why this report is most certainly not a "step in the right direction," and explains why American unemployment is now actually worse than in Europe:

My local WalMart stores carry Federal Champion and Remington Golden Bullets value packs. Both feature hollow-point bullets, and both are plated and considered high-velocity loads (although the Federals seem to be a bit weaker, in the last year or so...).
If you want round-nose, non-HP ammo, well, that's a little harder to find. There is a new CCI load designed for AR-style .22s, but I don't think it's going to be cheap, as it has the word "Tactical" in the name:

Remington used to offer a plated round-nose bulk pack, but I'm not sure if it's still around. I have a few boxes of it left, but it's got to be 20+ years old. Old milk-carton style boxes that held 450 rounds.

The 2012 NFL season has shaped up to be a critical one for the San Diego Chargers. Coaching and front office jobs are on the line, and the team's future in San Diego is in doubt. Fans are looking for some reassurance that the team is heading back towards it's winning ways and is making strides towards the fulfillment of a Super Bowl promise. This is why the 2012 NFL draft was so critical for the Bolts; the team simply cannot afford to stumble again, they need to win and win now. The one-time "most talented team in the NFL" has fallen from such grace, and has some major ground to make up before they can reclaim that crown. In order to get back to the post-season, the team needs better players, plain and simple. Luckily for the San Diego faithful, AJ Smith and crew may have had their best draft performance of the past five years.
Podcast - Chattin' Chargers with Mychal Edelman and Josh BretowThe Chargers had well documented needs coming into the draft. According to BOLTHYPE, the Chargers top draft needs were:
1. Outside Linebacker
2. Defensive Back
3. Wide Receiver
4. Offensive Line
The Chargers did an excellent job addressing those needs. Taking Melvin Ingram at 18 was an absolute steal; as the top 3-4 OLB prospect in the draft he was never supposed to fall that far down the draft board. He is a versatile, aggressive pass rusher who is always around the ball making plays. Ingram's personality and temperament reminds me of great leaders such as Takeo Spikes and Ray Lewis, and I think he will quickly become a respected player on this team. Rush Outside Linebacker was the Chargers' top need and they filled it early by taking Ingram.
In the second round the Chargers drafted Kendall Reyes, a Defensive Tackle who will play Defensive End in the Chargers three-man front. While not one of the Chargers most critical positions of need, the Chargers needed to improve the defense as a whole regardless. At pick 49, Reyes fell into the Chargers lap. He was projected as a possible first round pick, and was arguably the best 5-technique prospect in the draft, behind only Fletcher Cox on my board. Again, the Chargers got tremendous value in selecting Reyes and its no shock they took a Defensive Lineman so early. The Chargers have no stalwarts on their D-line since Igor Olshansky and Jamal Williams have left. The possibility for Corey Liuget and Kendall Reyes developing into a dominating, athletic young pair of bookends is exciting indeed.
Safety was a clear need for the Chargers, and in trading up in the third round they secured Brandon Taylor, who many felt was the best safety prospect after Mark Barron and Harrison Smith, both gone in the first round. The Chargers obviously needed to come out of this draft with a good Safety, but they didn't reach for one. Taking both Ingram and Reyes without any trades, and taking Taylor after a slight trade up in the third round tells me the Chargers came into the draft with a clear game plan, were well-prepared, and stacked their board appropriately. They executed their picks and got tremendous value while still filling needs. In many ways, the Chargers draft strategy reminded me a lot of the successful drafts Ozzie Newsome, one of the NFL's best GMs, has masterminded for the Baltimore Ravens over the years.
In the fourth round, the Chargers drafted Ladarius Green, a tight end who has some upside. Although not a top need, Tight End could still be considered a position of concern due to Antonio Gates' recent injury history. Green is a blown-up wide receiver converted into a Tight End with eye-popping measurables, but he will likely need time to develop and will sit behind Gates and Randy McMichael. By taking a flier on Green, the Chargers could develop him as a project with low risk, high reward.
In the 5th and 7th rounds, the Chargers loaded up on offensive linemen, filling another draft need. Johnnie Troutman, a Guard from Penn State, and David Molk, a Center from Michigan both bring a ton of experience and come from big time college football programs. Molk lead all Offensive Linemen at the Combine with 41 reps on the benchpress and won the 2011 Rimington Trophy as the nation's top center after starting four years at Michigan. Troutman was tied for 4th place among all Offensive Linemen at the Combine with 31 reps on the benchpress and is a force in the run game who could push Tyronne Greene at Left Guard.
If there was any question mark to the Chargers draft class, it would be the fact that they didn't draft a true Wide Receiver. However to their credit, they signed a whopping six undrafted free agent receivers. With their final selection in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Chargers take Edwin Baker, an undersized running back who probably best fits a Zone Blocking scheme.
In summary, the Chargers have addressed all of their needs coming into the 2012 NFL Draft, and they did so without reaching and without trading away their future. The found guys who can make an immediate impact and who will see plenty of playing time. While I would have preferred to see them take a wide receiver or even a Quarterback over a tight end, I do recognize the concern at the TE position and understand they probably feel comfortable with what they have in Eddie Royal and Robert Meachem. They entered the draft with a clear objective, a well-researched and prioritized board, and were able to find value with the picks that mattered most.
Now it's your turn to grade the Chargers; How successful were the Bolts in addressing their draft needs with quality football players? Has AJ Smith done enough to restore your confidence in him? How would you grade this draft class? Sound off in the comments section below!
