Reviews for this host's other properties
We had great time in Athens! The apartment is very well located - a bit off the tourist area and well connected to public transport - and super spacious.The pickup from the airport went really smooth. Thanks for that!
the only good of the property was the address and the prize
The apartment was half way under ground, which was not entirely unplesant in the hot wetter. It was in center and it was in a very safe location to live in. The transfer from airport was nice as we arrived at night. It was no luxury but everything we needed was there with absolutly no problems involved.
The flat is ok for two people but no for more because the sofá is not confortable at all. The apartment is well situated but is really really cool, I will recommend it for a couple who want to spend a weekend in Athens (no for more that few days) and they just want to sleep in the apartment.
The tax driver who picked up us in the airport war really nice and helpful.
We had wonderful time in Athens! The apartment is super nice, cozy and clean.
It is located very central, in a beautiful neighborhood with great restaurants.
Special thanks goes to lovely Nikos, the driver who picked us up from the airport.
Σας ευχαριστούμε!
The flat is nice and spacious. It is well-located to visit the main attractions of the city. It could benefit from upgrading the electrical supply system, unfortunately the system gets easily overloaded, especially in winter time (or whenever it is cold as electric heaters need to be on)
Very nice old building with stucco and parquet flooring .The bus almost at the door, easy to reach the city center on foot .Supermärkte and the web is in the immediate vicinity .In the apartment everything that you need .The bathroom and a ceiling could use some be renewed .We have enjoyed the stay and can recommend this great apartment each of not bothered by little things.
Sehr schöne Altbauwohnung mit Stuck und Parkettboden .Der Bus fährt fast vor der Tür ,die Stadtmitte auch gut zu Fuß zu erreichen .Supermärkte und die Bahn in nächster Nähe .In der Wohnung ist alles vorhanden was man braucht .Das Badezimmer und eine Decke könnten mal erneuert werden .Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und können diese große Wohnung jedem empfehlen der sich an Kleinigkeiten nicht stört .
Apartment very well located, near a metro station Evengelismos which in a few minutes you can reach all the sights of Athens. Very close there is also a large supermarket AB.
The apartment itself is located below the ground floor with windows overlooking the narrow enclosed courtyard. The restaurant rather for 2, but not for 3 people. Although in the hallway, directly behind the front door is a sofa bed, a sleeping on it for the most convenient not to be, in addition to mattress throughout the night quickly becomes damp and had to dry all day.
But it's the little things, generally for the price of a decent place, and compensates for the shortcomings of the great weather, the climate of the city and sights of Athens.
Apartament bardzo dobrze położony, w pobliżu stacji metra Evengelismos z której w kilka minut można dotrzeć do wszystkich atrakcji Aten. Bardzo blisko znajduje się także duży supermarket AB.
Sam apartament położony poniżej parteru, z widokiem z okien na wąski zamknięty dziedziniec. Lokal raczej dla 2, a nie dla 3 osób. Choć w korytarzu, bezpośrednio za drzwiami wejściowymi jest rozkładana sofa, to spanie na niej do najwygodniejszych nie należy, w dodatku materac po całej nocy szybko wilgotnieje i trzeba go cały dzień suszyć.
Ale to drobiazgi, generalnie za te cenę przyzwoite miejsce, a niedostatki rekompensuje wspaniała pogoda, klimat miasta i zabytki Aten.
Apartment in the center of Athens, however, requires upgrading kitchens and bathrooms. Transfer - OK.
Mieszkanie w centrum Aten, wymaga jednak modernizacji kuchni i łazienki. Transfer - OK.
The apartment was spacious and bright, but pretty dirty. It was everything available, what was it for everyday braucht..Am 2nd day the toilet blocked, the landlord can not be reached. Horrible ... Well done to Wimdu! You have set the wheels in motion, then everything was good again in the evening ...
Das Apartment war geräumig und hell, jedoch ziemlich unsauber . Es war alles vorhanden, was man für den Alltag braucht..Am 2. Tag war die Toilette verstopft, der Vermieter nicht erreichbar. Schrecklich...Ein Lob an WIMDU ! Sie haben alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dann war am Abend alles wieder gut...

Reviews of this property
I came by second time and will not be the last.
Nothing else to add but say thanks to Stefanie!
Second time in the apartment and again a very good experience and excellent hospitality. I definitely confirm everything I've written in my previous review: for everyone who wants to spend some days in Dusseldorf this is a
great option considering the short distance from the town center and the good availability of public transports to move in the town. We will surely be back !
Very nice apartment, well furnished and very clean.
Quiet area, 5 min walking to the train station.
A bit noisy (train and big avenue near the window) but very confortable.
I have spent an excellence days in this so cosy apartment.
It has a nice design, anything is missing and you feel like at home, in a quiet area but well communicated and close to main station in 10 min walk.
I want to thanks Stefanie for all.
Very nice apartment, essential but absolutely comfortable and placed in a quiet area. Well placed in the town too because it's near to the town center and the main station (even by foot). Exquisite hospitality, comfortable apartment, public transports very close, supermarket easily accesible .... could you ask for more?
Very nice apartment in the city center. It has everything you need to make your visit easy and comfortable. Stefanie was charming and offered us every help we needed.
The only thing we missed was wifi internet, but it was our mistake because we didn't read carefully the description.
The apartment is very nice and convenient. The balcony was perfect for relaxing in the evening. Stefanie is a very friendly hostess. I felt very comfortable.
Die Wohnung ist sehr schön und verkehrsgünstig gelegen. Der Balkon war abends ideal zum entspannen. Stefanie is eine sehr sympathische Gastgeberin. Habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt.
A very nicely furnished, clean apartment. Is recommended in all cases. Unfortunately, the parking is not cheap.
Ein sehr schön eingerichtetes, sauberes Apartment. Ist auf alle Fälle zu empfehlen. Leider sind die Parkmöglichkeiten nicht günstig.
Everything was great--the host was nice and the apartment was perfect. Would definitely stay again.
Very nicely furnished and cozy apartment. Gracious host.
Sehr schön eingerichtete und gemütliche Wohnung. Nette Gastgeberin.

Bulk gift cards
B&B Theatres has implemented a three-tiered discount structure which impacts various applications within our cinema locations. One of these applications is our Discounted Gift Card Program.
Devised to appeal to a range of movie-goers from single families to large institutions, Discounted Gift Cards allow theater credit to be purchased for less than its redemption value. The applicable discount is determined by dollars spent over a twelve month period. The discount tiers are:
- 10% discount: $300-$1499
- 15% discount: $1500-$2499
- 20% discount: $2500 or more
For a practical example, we can take a look at a family of four that attends the cinema once a month. Each visit might cost the family $50, or at total of $600 over the course of a year. This family could achieve the 10% discount and purchase a $600 Gift Card for only $540, allowing them to maintain their same habits for less money!
On a larger scale, a local manufacturer might decide to incentivize each of its 350 employees by giving each a $10 Gift Card to B&B Theatres. From the outset, the option would cost the company $3500. The company, however, earns a 20% savings and drops the total to $2800, or only $8 for every $10 card.
The Gift Cards do not expire, there is no service fee, and the balance on each card can be redeemed toward anything that B&B sells. These options naturally include tickets and concession items, but also extended menu food choices, standees, and alcoholic beverages (where available).
The Discounted Gift Card Program is a simple way to make your dollars go further at the Box Office or to give employees, students, or family members a gift that affords them the freedom to spend how they like!
Bulk Gift Card Order Form
Group tickets
B&B Theatres offers group VIP ticket packages at a rate significantly below traditional adult evening admission price. This program allows participating organizations to purchase quantities of discounted tickets for distribution to employees, students, faculty, team members, and other applications. Each ticket is sold at a discounted prices and packages of tickets must be purchased in increments of one hundred (100) or increments of 50 beyond that amount (150, 200, 250, etc) . Elementary schools and related organizations will sometimes choose to use the tickets as rewards or incentives. Some colleges and large manufacturing companies sell the tickets to students or employees for only a dollar or two, thus recouping some of the initial cost but still providing a value and discount to the user.
The tickets do not expire and can be redeemed at any B&B Theatres location. While various upcharges would be applied when redeemed for Grand Screen, Marquee Suite, RealD 3D, or other premium, venue-specific features, VIP Tickets are a wonderful way to offer discounted tickets to large groups. VIP Ticket purchases are processed by our corporate office in Liberty, Missouri. Payment information can be kept on file at the office, meaning a phone call or email is all that is required to place an order for tickets. B&B office personnel will ship the tickets (UPS) when payment is processed at no cost to the purchaser.


text: Hi all, I am currently searching for an ice dance partner (seems to be a near-impossible task!) and I was wondering if there were any upcoming competitions that offered solo ice dance events? I'm trying to get my skating "out there," so to speak. Also, any advice about parter searching or upcoming group tryouts would be much appreciated. I know this isn't really the best time to be searching for a partner as it's the middle of the season, but I'm just trying to get a head start Thanks guys!

PwC is pleased to launch a short thought leadership paper on the impact of the climate change agenda post Copenhagen and the business implications for our Transportation & Logistics clients. Key findings indicate:
This paper is accompanied by a Transportation & Logistics sector supplement providing a background on the current state of the sector followed by an analysis of the top Airline and Logistics clients and how they are responding to climate change issues based on publically available information. We found that reducing emissions is likely to pose a greater challenge to transportation and logistics companies over the next twenty years than obtaining a suffi cient supply of energy. For the Aviation sector, improving the fuel efficiency and emissions profile of aircraft is a major area of focus.Significant progress has already been made and many airlines are in the process of modernising their fleets In the aviation sector, massive research efforts are looking to drive technological advances. At the same time, many efforts are also being made to better employ existing technology. Major players in the logistics sector are also making significant progress on emissions reductions, with several pioneering the use of alternatively powered vehicles on the ground and applying some of the same approaches as the airlines to improving efficiency in air. Many are also helping their own customers improve their carbon footprint; in other sectors such as industrial manufacturing or metals, enhancing the logistics process is an important element in their own emission reduction programmes.

You don't need a chemistry degree to bake great whole grain bread, but the better you understand things like enzyme activity and gluten development, the easier it will be to create loaves your family loves, rather than cardboard health food. This is what the master does so well in Peter Reinhardt's Whole Grain Breads. He has developed techniques that take what is great about artisanal bread, and brings it to the world of 100% whole grain. He describes why it works at the molecular level, so that you can use his basic recipes to develop your own signature creations. If your idea of homemade bread is frozen dough that you pop out of a can, then this is probably not the book for you. But as someone who has always enjoyed baking, I found that his techniques are simple to follow, and yield delicious results.

Where I stayed
(1) Dallas is ugly. Repeat, ugly.
(2) It has a 6-lane freeway.
(3) The signs on this freeway move you from one lane to the other, then back again so quickly that the GPS lady is absolutely freaking out.
(4) You see a store, any store. Four blocks later, you see the same store. Another four blocks, the same store.
(5) Dallas has a store named Condoms to Go. I swear. I almost drove off the road.
(6) People do not walk in Dallas. I had to drive 1/4 mile from my hotel to a restaurant because I knew I'd get run over crossing 4 lanes of traffic if I walked.
(7) Dallas stinks. Literally.
(1) Dallas has an amazing arts district.
(2) Dallas has a peculiar, funky street called Harry Hines, where you'll find multitudes of fabric outlets, Mexican nightclubs, furniture warehouses, and strip clubs.
(3) Dallas has a store named Condoms to Go. Hey, safe sex is better than the alternative. (Is the alternative unsafe sex, or no sex?)
(4) Dallas has the best Greek food I've eaten since living in Detroit. Maybe even better.
(5) Dallas has the best steak I've eaten. Period.
(6) Dallas has a stunning Arboretum, and I've heard great things about the Aquarium and the Zoo.
(7) And, finally, Dallas has very, very nice people.
Okay, it's 4am and I'm trying to catch up the blog before heading off to who-knows-where to camp and hike. Please, please, let me find a peaceful, warm, dry, non-windy place to camp and hike! I know there will be no wi-fi, so I must get everything in before I go. For those of you who call me, all I can say is that I do check voice mail whenever I'm within range. Of course, I often turn the phone off regardless of range but, again, I check voice mail.
After several days in Dallas, here are the highlights:
The King Tut exhibit was good. It was interesting and educational, but not emotionally engaging. Room after room featured items that weren't in King Tut's tomb, but rather his predecessor or relatives, although that really doesn't matter much. Once I reached the final three rooms that did contain his things, it was almost an anticlimatic. Again, the artifacts were interesting, but there was no ta-da moment. They used the blue and gold head for marketing, but it wasn't there; nor were any of the 7 (8?) layered sarcophagus. The exhibit just petered out and slung you into a huge, crowded gift shop. Very Disney.
The most intriguing item in the entire exhibit was a chair, which had its original rush seat, intact after all this time. The figures on the inside of the chair where very slim, with long limbs and necks, as we're used to seeing in Egyptian art. But the figures on the outside depicting gods as lions had broad African facial features, very distinct. The detail was astonishing. I had many questions (as usual) about some of the things I saw, but there was no one to ask, so I shelled out $50 for the coffee table book. If anyone would like to see it, just check in with Mom; it should arrive by the end of this week.
By the way, since I'd gotten a good hotel/Tut deal and downtown parking is hard to find, I decided to use the valet. I followed the sign and drove a few feet off the sidewalk, then asked the guy if he'd have enough room so there wasn't anything parked too close to my truck. He pointed behind me and said it would be parked over there, against the wall of the museum, immediately outside the main entrance! Well, you can't get much safer than that; how much does it cost? $30. Thirty dollars. To drive my car about 20 feet. Oh, well, it will definitely be safe. And I only pay $10 to camp. Rationalize, rationalize.
When I came outside to pick it up, I couldn't believe I had to stand there and watch him walk a few steps just to drive it over to where I was standing! What a hoot. I tipped him $2 just because I couldn't stand not to, but I told him he sure didn't earn a tip. We had a good laugh, although he was definitely getting the better deal. (Hey, Dean, there was a huge high school group milling around when I was getting in the FJ to leave. You should've heard the "wows"! Hey, I've never driven anything that ever got a wow, and definitely not from a high school kid. :-)
Marijka cannot live on hamburgers alone, and french fries are not a vegetable! Can I tell you how hard it is to eat on the road? I feel better when I'm eating chicken soup and oranges in camp. Being in the city makes me fat! Yuck. Who would've thought finding a salad would be so hard, and restaurants just don't offer plain vegetables anymore. So I'm trying to eat one good meal a day and supplementing with fruit and protein bars, but I'm craving grilled chicken and vegetables. I did have two memorable meals here in Dallas, though.
If you are anywhere, and I mean anywhere, near Dallas or Houston, go to Pappas Bros. and eat steak. Eat lots of steak. I splurged and took myself out to this amazing restaurant and, boy, was it worth it! Cesar salad, fresh warm bread, haricot verts swimming in butter, and an 8 oz. filet mignon. I ate every bite, except for a few pieces of romaine. It was heaven. They have another restaurant in Houston, so guess who'll be eating steak when I get there? (Oh, and Dean, the valet guys elbowed past each other to hop into my FJ. They did the same thing when I left. Said it was "much sharper" than the Hummers the "suits" drive. Sorry to keep bragging about it, but I know you understand. :-) www.pappasbros.com
I learned to eat in Detroit. Up to that point, I was a country girl living on beans and taters. Well, not quite, but ethnic was a pizza from Mr. Gatti's or homemade spaghetti with home-grown ground beef. I ate middle eastern in Knoxville, but that was about it. Detroit hosted a different ethnic festival every weekend that summer, and the Ren Cen (Renaissance Center) was filled with food, music, dancers and crafts. Detroit has Mexican Village and Greek Town, and numerous restaurants serving eastern European, oriental, African, and every other food you can imagine. Oh, and you can't get pickle relish in Detroit, so I learned to love brats with kraut and spicy mustard, and haven't looked back! (Although I still love relish on chili dogs.)
So imagine how happy my little taste buds were to find Stratos Greek Taverna. I was there for lunch, so I avoided the heavier moussaka and pastitsio, but ordered a gyro with Greek salad. It was all so fresh and wonderful! Max, whose grandfather started the restaurant, also brought me an appetizer called skordalia, a potato puree with garlic, olive oil, and other delicious things I don't remember. I even brought dessert back to the hotel, although I don't have a clue about the name. It was like a smooth orange custard surrounded by phyllo, with a cinnamon honey glaze reminiscent of baklava. I'm just sorry I wasn't there for dinner and the belly dancing! www.clubstratos.com
I won't bore you with details about fabric shopping. Just know that I'm having to UPS the stuff home. Friends, you do realize that you still won't see me once I get there -- I'll be locked up in the studio! ha
Finally, I spent this radiant Sunday at the Dallas Arboretum. This is what must keep the Dallas folks sane, a way to escape the ugly and live in the pretty. The parking lot was full, but once inside the gates, there were no crowds. Everyone spread out among the gardens, had picnics on the grass, played in the storybook houses, and posed for portraits. It was four hours of bliss, and a wonderful way to complete this part of the journey. Warning: lots and lots of photos. www.dallasarboretum.org/
Now, off to camp and hike. For days and days!

Broadband penetration key to country moving further up its index, says Ernst & Young.
New Zealand has been ranked 21st in a 60-country globalisation survey conducted by consultants Ernst & Young.
The survey ranks Hong Kong as number one and Iran at the bottom. Australia was ranked 24th and the United States 25th.
Ernst & Young's report draws on the international consultants' globalisation index, which measures the world's 60 largest economies according to their degree of globalisation, relative to their gross domestic product, and a survey of 750 senior business executives worldwide.
The index comprises five main categories - openness to trade, capital movements, exchange of technology and ideas, labour movements, and cultural integration.
Broadband penetration would be the key to New Zealand climbing further up the index, Ernst & Young said.
"We expect New Zealand to climb up into 12th position by 2016, helped by an exceptionally strong performance in technology, where it will top the ranking on broadband penetration."
New Zealand performed better than the global average in terms of movement of goods and services, movement of capital and finance, exchange of technology and ideas, and cultural integration.
But the country performed slightly lower than average for advanced economies, with a poor score in the movement of labour category.
New Zealand's overall ranking has not changed from 2011. Since then, the country has improved on broadband penetration, from 25.7 per cent to 30 per cent of the population, and internet subscriptions, 86 per cent to 88.8 per cent.
Ernst & Young said globalisation was increasing among a majority of the world's 60 leading economies, despite weak growth in 2012 and an uncertain economic outlook for many markets this year.
While most forecasters thought global GDP would be 3 per cent to 3.5 per cent in 2013, with a modest increase in subsequent years, the index suggested that globalisation would continue to advance, driven primarily by technology and the cross-border flow of ideas.
Improved globalisation scores in the past 12 months came from medium-sized, rapid-growth markets such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines, as well as smaller European countries including Belgium, Slovakia and Hungary.
Ernst & Young's chairman and chief executive, Jim Turley, said globalisation would continue to define the business landscape, with increasing levels of cross-border trade, capital and labor integration.
"Despite the highly volatile economic backdrop, the trend for greater integration and closer co-operation continues to outweigh the threat of protectionism for the majority of the world's markets."
Turley said respondents pointed to the increasing challenges of operating in some Bric (Brazil, Russia, India and China) economies as well as slowing growth in some of these markets. "Nearly half of the survey's respondents expect an increase in protectionism in the Bric countries."

Evan Ebel violated parole days before murders
Department of Corrections took six days to issue arrest warrant
El Paso Co., Colo. - Documents released Tuesday show Evan Ebel ditched his ankle monitor and was unaccounted for days before he's accused of committing two murders. It took the Department of Corrections almost a week to issue a warrant for him.
"Ebel had been fully compliant up until that first alarm," said DOC spokeswoman Alison Morgan. "Immediate response was not warranted."
Ebel, accused of killing Colorado DOC Chief Tom Clements and Nate Leon of Denver, was on intensive supervised parole. He was required to wear an ankle monitor, check in daily, get urine tests and was prohibited from driving or drinking.
According to DOC records, Ebel's monitor stopped working March 14. The records indicate the DOC did nothing but try to call him for the next three days. On March 17, Leon's was discovered in Golden.
On March 18, the DOC contacted Ebel's family. On March 19, officers checked his residence and determined he was an absconder. That same day, investigators believe Ebel shot and killed Clements in his Monument-area home. On March 20, the DOC issued a warrant for Ebel.
Morgan emphasized that since being released from prison on Jan. 28, Ebel had stuck to the terms of his parole. She said immediate response to a parole violation would come for an offender that had multiple write-ups, failed to maintain a residence or showed a high risk of parole failure.
"Ebel was not exhibiting any risks," Morgan said.
Morgan said the DOC currently has 1,500 offenders on ankle monitors and gets more than 800 bracelet alerts per month. She couldn't estimate a typical response time to an alert, saying it depended on the offender and the perceived risk that person posed.

A success story describes a successful experience in water cooperation at any given time and level, local, regional, national or international. It should showcase the actors and cooperation mechanisms involved and does not necessarily have a scientific background (e.g. in the case of local cooperative projects involving or not traditional knowledge systems.). Note that also failures can lead to success stories, when the appropriate lessons are drawn.
A case study is a science-based, in-depth observation of a given case of water cooperation at any level (local, regional, national or international), be it successful or not, past or ongoing. It can draw on an existing publication or be a new study.

The only problem is that when I DLed Ubuntu, and selected it from the start-up screen, nothing happened. It said it was loading, and then the screen got all colorful.
That was it though. Linux didn't start. The comp just like froze on me.
Now I have Windows Vista so maybe that has something to do with it, but any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. Oh and where should I start off? Should I learn how to program first? Should learn some hacking basics?

ENDING THE MENDEL-FISHER CONTROVERSY. Allan Franklin, A. W. F. Edwards, Daniel J. Fairbanks, Daniel L. Hartl and Teddy Seidenfeld. xii + 330 pp. University of Pittsburgh Press, 2008. Cloth, $70; paper, $27.95.
During the 1935 autumn term at University College London, Ronald A. Fisher offered a course on the history of biometry to a broad audience of biologists and statisticians. The course consisted of 14 lectures given on consecutive Thursday afternoons at 2:30 p.m.; the fourth, fifth and sixth lectures concerned Gregor Mendel. As Allan Franklin reminds us in the "Overview" essay with which Ending the Mendel-Fisher Controversy opens, Fisher's interest in Mendel dated from his student days at the University of Cambridge . As a 21-year-old undergraduate in 1911, Fisher—who was probably influenced by analyses performed by Frank Weldon in 1901—had commented on the exceptionally good fit of Mendel's data to his theory. Fisher's 1935 lectures allowed him to return to the topic with a new set of eyes, after two decades of pathbreaking research in statistics and genetics. The lectures summarized a painstakingly detailed critical analysis of Mendel's experiments, as those experiments were reported in an 1865 account. Although that account was published in 1866, it was ignored until 1900, when it was brought to wide public attention with great scientific fanfare.
Fisher subsequently wrote up this material for publication in the inaugural issue of the journal Annals of Science in 1936. That article is itself a masterpiece in what may be called the forensic history of science. Fisher was an extraordinarily creative and insightful statistician, an equally accomplished geneticist, and an experienced agricultural biologist; he was widely read in the history of science. He was as well qualified as a person could be to perform such an analysis, and he did not disappoint. Fisher dissected the 1866 article with a keen appreciation of Mendel's likely state of mind, called detailed attention to the methodological excellence of the experimentation and the care taken in carrying it out, praised Mendel in very high terms and discussed the different polemical purposes the work had served in early 20th-century biology.
But Fisher also called attention to a troubling aspect of the reported data: They not only fit the Mendelian theory well, they fit it too well, as judged by the use of the chi-square test Karl Pearson had introduced in 1900. The chance of getting such a good fit under standard genetic models was judged to be less than 0.0001. And this was not just in one simple experiment; Fisher found the phenomenon to be systematically true: The overly good fit was pervasive in data on thousands of plants in dozens of experiments conducted over eight years, which Fisher evaluated with many separate chi-square tests. To make matters even worse, Fisher argued that in a few cases Mendel had used the wrong theoretical counts, and the data also fit those erroneous counts too well! Fisher's inescapable conclusion was that someone had screened or otherwise slightly sophisticated the data, as if silently rejecting some disparate data, thereby reducing the variation with an eye on the known and expected theoretical values. He could not bring himself to attribute this to Mendel, so he offered the hypothesis that an assistant might have done it, without Mendel's knowledge.
Fisher's statement on the data sophistication was buried late in the 1936 article, and his whole account was itself largely ignored until the arrival in 1965 of the Mendel Centennial. In that and the succeeding year two books appeared, each republishing Mendel's account in translation as well as Fisher's paper, together with a selection of materials commenting on either or both works. Over the past 40 years this material has given rise to an industry perhaps aptly describable as CSI: Mendel. Some of its output is sanctimonious tongue-clucking about fraud in science, but a greater portion is devoted to attempts to explain away all or part of Fisher's analysis as due to factors other than purposeful sophistication of the data. Ending the Mendel-Fisher Controversy is both a summary of the activity in that industry and a contribution to it.
The book consists of Franklin's 78-page overview, a pre-1909 translation of Mendel's account, Fisher's 1936 article, and four other articles selected by Franklin that were originally published in 1986, 1994, 1998 and 2001. These papers are all by distinguished authors: Franklin is a noted historian of science; A. W. F. Edwards, a statistician, was Fisher's last student; Daniel L. Hartl is a geneticist, and his coauthor Vítezslav Orel is a biographer of Mendel; Teddy Seidenfeld is a philosopher of science who writes on statistics; Daniel J. Fairbanks is a plant biologist, and his coauthor Bryce Rytting is a musicologist. Edwards, Hartl, Seidenfeld and Fairbanks have all written postscripts to their original articles, offering recent reflections or even recent data; together with an appendix on chi-square tests by Fairbanks, this new material fills 40 pages. As might be expected with such a plan (and so many papers written at different times for different audiences), there is significant repetition, with each author offering his own summary of the same case and extensive quotation from some of the same works included in the volume.
The texts are all well written and cogently argued. Every author has something interesting to say; each has a different point of view, and all add to the story. Anyone wishing an informed introduction to the issues involved will find it here, although a thorough, careful reading will take them to a level of Mendelian minutiae that only CSI: Mendel aficionados are likely to enjoy. Persevering readers will be introduced to an astoundingly varied set of clever speculations about how Mendel might have conducted his experimentation to arrive at the effect Fisher found, some of these tested by fresh experiments. Some readers might wish that Eva Sherwood's 1966 translation of Mendel had been reprinted rather than the 1909 version (which was criticized by P. S. Hewlett in a 1975 piece in Biometrics for not respecting the paragraph breaks of the German original and thereby giving wrong emphasis in places).
The book's provocative title may lead readers to believe that a smoking gun, or maybe even some incriminating DNA, has been found. I suspect that anyone harboring an expectation that this book will permit the case to be closed will be disappointed. What then do these distinguished authors find? The bottom line, put more simply than some of the authors would fully endorse, is that Fisher was right in 1936. He was right that Mendel performed all the experiments he described, and many others to boot. He was right that Mendel's standards of experimentation were very high. He was right that slight sophistication of some sort must have been performed, but we will probably never know the full story. These authors show no sympathy for Fisher's generous placement of the blame on an unnamed assistant, however.
The sophistication of data—be it trimming, selective reporting, alteration or omission of data, whatever words may be used—is not considered proper in today's experimental world if done consciously without a full and open explanation and discussion. But even today Mendel's conjectured practice, which may well have been entirely subconscious, would most likely not rise to the level of fraud, and neither Fisher nor any of the present authors believe that it did. Thousands of plant classifications needed to be performed, and biases toward known expected counts on the order of a few percent would have been sufficient to account for what Fisher found. As Sewall Wright wrote about this case in 1966, "Checking of counts that one does not like, but not of others, can lead to systematic bias toward agreement." Mendel knew some probability theory, but the statistical cautions we now regard as needed in scientific data analyses were not then in common currency. As a student in Fisher's course in 1935, William G. Cochran took notes that record Fisher as saying that Mendel was "not worried about variability of biological material."
What of the particular cases where Fisher found Mendel's counts biased toward a 2:1 ratio Mendel believed to be correct, when in fact on reasonable expectation another ratio should hold? Here the authors differ; they unite in finding difficulties with most other peoples' attempts to explain this instance of the phenomenon, but several of them also believe that their own speculations can win the day for Mendel. These arguments include criticizing Fisher's use of a one-sided test rather than a two-sided one in one instance (the one-sided test seems to me to be right here), speculation that Mendel had performed subsequent experiments to rule out the problem, and informed guesses that the number of seeds and number of plants may be different from the numbers Fisher used. Any of these latter arguments may be correct, but all are speculative and none seem compelling to this reviewer. The suggestion by Wright in 1966 that the classification of 3 percent of some 1,000 plants studied in this case might be off due to subconscious bias toward expected ratios passes William of Occam's test more easily, given the general agreement that something like this happened in Mendel's other experiments.
In any case, all the authors agree with the basic finding of some data sophistication. Why then do they say, "It is time to end the controversy"? Essentially because they believe that no further resolution can be reasonably expected, and the existence of the controversy in any case is partly based on misreading Fisher as accusing Mendel of fraud. Continual harping on this problem, the book says, damages Mendel's reputation unfairly, with unwarranted staining of scientific practice in the process. Whether or not you agree with that, an actual end to that discussion is unlikely to be a consequence of this book. A generation of genetics students have had their interests whetted by these issues, and thanks to these lucid, insightful and balanced articles, another generation will be able to join the quest with even better understanding. And who knows? Maybe some one of these students will find a universally compelling explanation that even Fisher overlooked.

The Michigan Athletic Trainers' Society (MATS) has named Hope College senior Molly Smith of Urbana, Ill., one of only two students who are attending Michigan colleges or universities to participate in the student leadership program of the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA).
Smith and Kent Games of Grand Valley State University were selected to participate in the iLead ("I... Lead, Engage, Activate, Develop") program, which will take place in Washington, D.C., on Saturday-Monday, Feb. 21-23. The program is designed for a maximum of 150 students nationwide - up to three per state.
The program will present a series of interactive sessions designed to help the students develop leadership skills. Presented in conjunction with the 2009 Hill Day Campaign and Athletic Training Educators' Conference, the program will also prepare students for future participation in NATA's StarTRACK program, which is designed to develop future leaders in the athletic training profession.
Smith is an athletic training major. Her clinical experience has included working with the college's football, men's basketball, swimming, volleyball, women's soccer and women's tennis teams, as well as with a local high school and summer sports camps at the University of Illinois.
Her activities at Hope have also included the Relay for Life fundraiser on behalf of the American Cancer Society, Acting on AIDS and the Mortar Board honor society. She is the daughter of James and Betsy Smith of Urbana, and a 2005 graduate of University High School.
Athletic trainers are allied health care professionals who prevent, manage and rehabilitate injuries in physically active populations. Hope offers a major in athletic training as one of three majors within the department of kinesiology. Hope was the first liberal arts college in Michigan, and is one of only a few institutions in the state, to have its athletic training program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs.

i don't use the templates to cut one piece at a time. i use the templates as guides. i print them out, lay them on the strips of fabric to see how i can squeeze out as many pieces as possible, then start cutting.
if you are using the same fabric for the whole background, just fold your strips in half.
that way you cut pieces B and C at the same time.
where B and C are made using different colors/fabrics, just layer the fabrics so that one is face up and the other is face down. this will also result in having cut B and C at the same time.
the photos below show pieces cut for the January block, but the principal is the same.
i didn't do it on this occasion, but the templates are even easier to use if you iron freezer paper to some muslin (or - better yet - from a fabric in your stash you don't like any more or have left over.) then print the templates on that. when you cut them out, the fabric on the back will keep them from slipping as you lay them down to use as cutting guides.
if you're going scrappy, just stack your fabrics so you don't have to cut one piece at a time.

i think the minis i had the early ones were beech , the later ones were ash.
and that last one i bought had some kind of soft-wood --it was very soft whatever it was , like you were supposed to just chuck it for plastic.
i would stick with the wood if it is an older model with a metal butt-plate.
if it was the later models i would probably go with the plastic stocks.

I gave my self a Christmas present. Santa's worksop
Is that in the house, my wife would kill me. Nice saw though
I'm not tense, Just terribly, terribly alert!
No not single but kids are out of the house. I can have the whole second floor to myself. Got a great wife.
May I suggest a "pre filter" over your cold air return register? Remove and vac often.
Looks good. Beats freezing your bum off. lol
Dust is a big deal. I hook up a shop vac to the table saw and have a window exhaust fan to blow out as much dust as I can.
Thats the saw i got this past year at LOUES it's a great saw.
Say hello to the bad guy!
year five==== 31 hives==== T{OAV}
I don't like the drop cloth on the floor. To easy to stumble and fall into a machine and get hurt.
Use weather stripping on the entry door. If the heat is forced air you have to place a filter over the cold air duct and or close it off and tie in the exhaust fan to the furnace blower. Make sure you don't starve the furnace on the return air.

I have a 2 hp dust collector; cost ~ 520 cdn.
Sucks in >1700 cfm through 3 4" hoses.
It would resolve your dust issues.
Ace is right about the plastic on the floor; maybe a canvas tarp stapled down?
I agree with Acebird and Gord about the drop cloth, and dust collection.
One additional thing I like is, on as many patters as possible let your stock run under a cover so there is no way to get your fingers/hands in the blade. Even if you fall on the saw, you cannot get to the blade. I guess a better way to describe this is, let your stock run through a tunnel, with the blade covered.
Very nice shop.

..the cost of treatments and sugar are the least of it...the real cost is labor.
I don't think feasibility has much to do with being migratory or stationary...I know treatment free beekeepers that do both....and I know of both kinds of operations that can't possibly run without treatments....not because of the bees they use, but because of overhead. If you have employees (especially if they are treated as you would want to be treated), vehicles, facilities, etc....you've _got_ to bring in the money consistently....any risks or short term setbacks affect everything and everyone involved.
When your overhead is low (no or few employees, modest vehicle and facility expenses), you can afford to rebuild from a moderate disaster. In the scheme of things, keeping bees has almost no overhead when compared to virtually any other business or agricultural persut. Our friend Andrew Munkres grew one nuc to 70 colonies in three years (there were a small handfull of cutouts as well, but only 3 or so). He got the nuc in exchange for labor. He is a skilled woodworker and I'm sure built all of his equipment from scrap and cheap lumber. I don't remember what he did for foundation, but this was likely his largest expense (I know he does some foundationless). He does do some winter feeding to make such increases, but remember he now has 70 colonies for almost free....without having to own or lease a farm.
Working alone (without labor) has limitations. With a spouse or close partner you can probably run 2000 colonies or so if you are using minimal management...you won't have time to retail honey with this many colonies, so it's important to find a way to sell your honey at a premium.
The bulk of the industry makes their money buying and selling the lowest quality product at commodity prices. Their interests are poorly served when the market becomes stratified....when consumers are willing to pay a premium for a higher quality product (think of a class with grades...those getting a D will vote to have the grading be pass/fail rather than letter grades...they will be in the same catagory as those getting an A....OTOH, those getting an A want to be set apart and recognized as superior).
So, in a poor year, no seasonal help is hired, overhead is small, and the small crop that goes for a premium can pay the bills and support you....you simply can't do this if you have a crew that gets a paycheck or the expense of running a large facility. In a good year, a bit of help is hired to handle the load, and an extra large crop allows for upgrades...and nothing says you can't simply store the surplus in barrels.

The apartment is in restored condition and bathroom and kitchen are very modern and clean. The vintage décor with chandeliers and old furniture is really nice and we liked it very well. The mattress could do with updating, but we still slept very well. The house itself is shabby something in Krakow or Poland but not unusual, so a lot of money for renovations is frequently absent. The location is good, you just walk a few minutes in the old town. We were in Krakow for a swing dance event, which took place in the house most part next door. For us the location could therefore can not be better.
Das Apartment ist in komplett renoviertem Zustand und Bad und Küche sind sehr modern und sauber. Die Vintage Einrichtung mit Kronleuchtern und alten Möbeln ist wirklich schön und hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Matratze könnte mal erneuert werden, wir haben aber trotzdem sehr gut geschlafen. Das Haus selbst ist etwas shabby, das ist in Krakau bzw Polen aber nicht ungewöhnlich, so viel Geld für Renovierungen ist häufig nicht vorhanden. Die Lage ist gut, man läuft nur wenige Minuten in die Altstadt. Wir waren in Krakau zu einem Swing Tanzevent, der größtenteils im Haus nebenan stattfand. Für uns hätte die Lage also gar nicht besser sein können.

It was great! Beautifull location and very friendly driver. Would definitely recommend
The apartment was clean and everything was working well, is really nice and it's just few meters from the main square so it was very easy to get everywhere. We enjoyed the stay. Thanks for all, totally recommend it!. Great host, quick responses during booking etc, made arrangements for key, air port transfer and check out
good, clean apartment, everything was working. very well located, only a couple of minutes' walk from the market square. only two points: the apartment did not correspond to the announcement (the pictures shown in the announcement refer to another apartment) and the second night there was a party going on in a neighbouring flat, people were really extremely loud until 3 am, shouting like crazy
Great apartment with an unbeatable view of the main square and despite activity outside quiet and relaxed inside.
One negative booked apartment transfer did not show up at the airport, but a taxi for about the same price sorted that and in future would use the integrated train link much cheaper, quicker and more convenient to get to the office to pick up the keys.
The description of this apartment did not match at all to reality.
The description says 4 bedrooms, big living room and also 2 balconies.
There was only 3 bedrooms and 1 balconies.
There was also only one tabel and six chairs in the kitchen. And I have asked Martin especially if there was space and Equipment for 12 people in the kitchen..
The coffe maker did not work okey. One toilet leaked quite a lot.
It would have been good if someone from Wimdu had met us at the apartment and shown us the apartment. Instead we had to get key from office and then make a mumbers of call to fix all trouble.
Thank you very much for your patience.
The attic was fantastic and in a very good situation, very near the center, and it is lovely.
Localitation is perfect, in the downtown and near train and bus station. Spacious flat with a nice view. Needs more kitchenware, there isnt a toaster or microwawe. Is a 3th floor without lift. The street in summer is noisy and if u sleep with the windows open is sometimes molest. The bath needs a bath screen
Incredible views of the main square and nice high-ceiling apartment directly in the heart of the Stare Masto. The furniture and other home furnishings aren't of the highest quality but the apartment is spacious and has lots of room for a group of at least 4 people. Lack of air conditioning can be a problem in the summer months and the music from the square can be distracting but this overall is an excellent choice for Krakow for the location.

This apartment is five minutes from the Avenida da Liberdade / Restauradores / Rossio. Even in central Lisbon with access to the entire network of transportation - subway, bus, taxi, train and all trade: supermarket, grocery store, fruit store, restaurants, bars, hairdressers and gyms.
Bus: Campo Mártires da Pátria, Marquês de Pombal/Duque de Loulé. Subway station: Intendente. To go up from da "Baixa" to "Santana's Hill": "Elevador do Lavra" / Bus: 760
Lisbon has been the capital of Portugal since the 12th century. It has a long history that can be experienced in the old neighborhoods, which may be visited by foot or tram. The Atlantic climate offers wonderful conditions to travel all year round. The main feature of Pena is that it is a plateau, from which two main slopes descend, facing Martin Moniz and Avenida da Liberdade. It begins at the north-east of Rossio and extends to Campo dos Mártires da Pátria, commonly known by Campo de Santana. The streets on the two slopes are twisting and irregular, leading to many beautiful alleys and side streets.
Being one of the oldest districts in Lisbon, one is overwhelmed by the diversity of its buildings, constructed in accordance with the successive types of architecture through centuries. Wrought iron balconies from the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries can be seen everywhere. In constant dialogue with the wrought iron are the glazed tiles of the façades - a style reportedly brought from Brazil after the 16th century.
It is very close to the famous Bairro Alto, a nightlife area, which can be reached after walking down Rossio or by taking the Elevador do Lavra, the oldest funicular in Lisbon. This 120 year old elevator goes every 15 minutes down to Rua das Portas de Santo Antão, the location of many excellent fish restaurants as recommended by many city guides.

Reviews of this property
En general, todo correcto... aunque no le vendría mal una mano de pintura al apartamento y un arreglo a la cerradura de la puerta de entrada! Aún así, la estancia fue muy agradable...
Piso muy antiguo que no se corresponde con la idea que dan las fotos de piso limpio y moderno. Limpieza muy deficiente.
Camas bastante cómodas, ropa de cama y toallas abundantes.
Aparcamiento gratuito en la calle, aunque la zona no es la mejor de Lisboa.
No está mal pero no ha cumplido plenamente mis expectativas.
Reviews for this host's other properties
We had a wonderful time in this little appartement in Lisboa! Everything was clean and cozy! The appartement is directly in the Barrio Alto so we could do everything by foot. We also cooked two times in the kitchen and had super nice evenings in the appartement with the two little "balconys"! We can definitely recommend this place!
Clara, Lena, Theresa, Laura
The Apartment is prefectly located, clean and has everything you Need. Filipe and his Team Are very friendly and helpfull. He also allowed us to Check out two Hours later, which was very kind. I highly recommend the Stay there.
We spent some days in the studio and really enjoyed the nice view of the kitchen-window. It is no worth cooking in the apartment as going out for lunch is really cheap and the kitchen is just equipped to prepare a quick sandwich or pasta, not a hole meal. Clean bathroom and rooms, only the bed is, in my opinion, very uncomfortable and not like written "getting out of the bed will be difficult" in a positive sense. Communication with the host was very easy, friendly and cooperative!!
For the last days we had to move to another apartment as they started with some demolition works next door. But this may occur at any place and WIMDU really did a good job to solve this problem. Thanks a lot for this!
Nice apartment and very friendly and helpful hosts. Only we were missing a wardrobe or some shelfs to store our cloths. The area was perfect to start exploring Lisbon. At night a bit loud.
nice location, everything was fine. thanks to some frensh party people was noisy that days. bathroom is very small and on suite!! was clean but somehow very used. maybe you like to bring your own pillow.
It is a spacious, clean and well located (short walk to Bairro Alto, Viewpoint, Rossio, etc.) ikea flat. Marisa estimated our arrival time pretty right, so the check-in went smoothly and on top we got a lot of good advice what to do, see and how to get around! :) If you plan on cooking in the flat you might bring your own salt and pepper from home, if you don't want to buy it. All the kitchen supplies are available but there is nothing like salt, tea or coffee.
The bed is comfortable. Not sure about the couch, if you are more than tweo people, but it will work for a few days I guess. If you have a light sleep you better bring earplugs (it's a quiet neighbourhood and not loud at all, but if there's noise outside you can hear it).
I can definitely recommend the flat as homebase for a short trip to Lisbon and the Short Stay Flat team and service is wonderful! :)
The apartment is on the 2nd floor and located well where the restaurants as well as best ice cream parlour is. You need to be relatively fit to stay in this neighbourhood as there are a lot of steep gradients!
The apartment itself is ok we paid around £50 a night and for this price I was expecting more. The kitchen itself looks very nice however it was not well equipped with basic items such as bowls, salt and pepper, sugar not provided. This is a must as we had to then purchase from new even when staying just for three nights. The apartment bathroom needs toilet roll holder, there was some mould, also needs a place where you can place where you can put shampoo, soap etc. No toiletries are provided.
We did not manage to get the TV working but that was not the end of the world as we were on holiday - a message in portugese was mentioned on the screen which we couldn't understand and unfortunately was not fixed whilst on our stay. We were also charged 8 euros for the 3 nights and I have just realised now that it should have been 6 according to the description. A light was not working in the apartment as well.
Overall its an OK place to stay given the price maybe we have too much of a high expectation having stayed in 5 different countries with Wimdu. Some small improvements will go a big way.
It is a nice apartment in the bar district bairro alto. Eventough there are a lot of people outside, there is not much noise. the kitchen is small and was very uncleaned (garbage hasn't been put away, fridge wasn't cleaned, teakettle had still water inside). The apartment has an ugly oldish smell. But the location is very central and the arrangement with the code instead of a key to the apartment is very smart.

The Sophos Community will be offline for scheduled maintenance this Saturday, May 27th, at 13:00 UTC for approximately 1 hour. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
"Wanna" ransomware outbreak. Please see this Sophos article sophos.com/kb/126733 for advice on how to protect your organization. Immediate action recommended.
This article provides details of Sophos Endpoint update strategy
Applies to the following Sophos product(s) and version(s) Sophos Endpoint SecuritySophos Endpoint Security and Control
For many years Sophos has followed a regular monthly release cycle that dates back to the days when releases were on floppy disks or, a few years later, CDs.
Regular monthly releases complete with product changes, new engines and updated detection data across the various Endpoint operating systems has become increasingly complex. The inter-dependence of platform updates has meant that we have occasionally had to delay the release of one product due to an issue with another. As a result, Sophos is moving away from a monthly cycle to a release model that is more flexible.
While we will still issue regular updates, each update will address a specific area. For example, there may be an engine with no product change, or a Windows update without a Linux update, and so on. This allows us to better utilize the resources within Sophos Engineering, as those resources that were dedicated to doing a release every month can now be used to work on product updates and changes. Sophos will be able to dedicate more resources to addressing customer issues and developing protection enhancements, ultimately providing better protection for all our customers.
You will receive updated products and engines from Sophos less frequently which should result in less change control and testing within customer environments. Product and engine releases will happen approximately four times a year. This new schedule works in conjunction with the new subscription policy.
For details about these changes see the release calendar article (120189) and the subscription policy article (19216).
Every comment submitted here is read (by a human) but we do not reply to specific technical questions. If you need technical support please post a question to our community. Alternatively for licensed products open a support ticket.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|hmmm.. .ok I would be intrested when you get more plants in and clean up the planted tank . Let us know.
Nothing against the store i work at, planted tank needs cleaning and some fish come in rough...so i'm safe . Great group of people to work with though, some odd customers from time to time but thats retail.
I"m just patiently waiting for the next african cichlid shipment...well ok impatiently waiting.
|You better hope your boss doesn't read these boards.
I have been working at the cutlerville VI for a few months now and i have been looking for threads regarding the store. I can definatly say i'll be trying to get the time to straighten up the planted tank and try to talk the fish room "sorta manager" into doing another planted tank order. We order from the bread and butter wholesalers and typcally get slightly greener shade of crap most of the time. But since most people put plants in there and wont listen to reason about proper lighting they just plop them and replace them a few weeks later. We do have a few planted tank keepers though that take steps to make things work...now to get more salt water people to realize anemones need REAL light...ah well thats another thread.
About every four to six weeks we hit up a real plant wholesaler outa florida and stock the tank well...then the employees snag their share *whistles innocently* and the customers with planted tanks show up and with in literally a busy weekend it all we have left are the dregs of the tank.
My first goal is to generally clean the rack up and get the misc debris outa there. Its hard as hell to maintain decent CO2 with the circulation system on that thing so i guess i'll have to figure away around that. I might just ask if i can take over ordering for the plant system and the maintence, it literally gets about 40 minutes of care a week...on a good week.
Give me a few weeks ( i dont get a great deal of time to work in the fish room on a serious level most times ) and i'll see what i can do to turn it around a bit as i'm hoping to start a proper planted tank i have a bit of a personal interest in getting a decent selection and reputation going. If i can boost sales it should boost willingness to spend more on plants and that allows better variety to come in...not just the "sale of the week" stuff we get a lot of now. We do have some nicely growing lace plants (small ones) but those still scare me with no proper tank to put them in.
If you anyone pops in look for the quasi fat bearded fellow wandering around that should be me.
Yeah the GSP come in like crap so i start a drip acclimation for them and start them on frozen krill and clams and offer what snails i can find in the plant tank. Its sad i can recall most fish i've seen come through there...i'm too obsessed i think. Also brackish water is a bit of a stepchild tank to most stores and most hobbyist...too much of one thing, not enough of another.
I havent hit the other stores in months (no money, spend it all at work) and the only one i can recommend with out a second thought is preuss's i'd love to work there but its to dang far to drive. I hope to get there after i get my tax returns back i have to harrass a fellow about his lungfish and generally drop some money . I've never had a bad time there and i'm there for HOURS..hell i put fish on hold ate lunch and came back for a few more HOURS of wandering drooling and observing. The best kept display tanks i've seen have been there i love the 92 corner planted tank they used to have at the old location and i want to see how the african display turned out, it was work in progress last times i was there.
PS if i've interacted with any of you in the past i hope it was reasonably well handled on my part...i'm trying to treat every customer how i'd like to be treated but some days go better than others.
i will start a new thread called Aquarium Services
LoL, just realized this thread is way off topic. I think tim needs his own discussion thread!!
I'll plan on stopping by sometime tomorrow, but probably not at 9!!
|I have a bunch of cuttings of narrow red luwediga, some narrow leaf Hygro and some Crypts , java moss and a couple of others that need a new home. Some fish is loving the Tiger lily.. Anybody want to do some trades? I will be stopping by at opening on Saturday to beat the bus rush..
Hi Ernie, I always welcome trades(no kids). I have several varieties of Apistos right now and at least a pair of kribs.

VIPets (Plainfield)
This is one of the best stores I've been to for fish. Their selection on fish/marine is very good, and the people there seem to know their stuff. The only downside to this place is that their selection of plants is somewhat lacking the 3-4 times I've been there. I did get some Jungle Val (Vallisneria americana) there, and it's been growing great. They will also do special orders for their customers it seems.
I found there staff great but prices a bit high and not to many plants
Petsmart (Grand Rapids)
Thankfully, I can say that this Petsmart staff knows their stuff. There are usually the same 3 girls working in the fish section, and they all give sound advice to people that I've heard. For some cheap fish products, this store may not be a bad stop. The fish selection is pretty good, prices are of course good, and the health of most of the fish is incredible compared to most chains. Their plant section is decent, but nothing to rave about. I am happy that I was able to find a Hagen CO2 system there, although it was a bit pricey ($30). If all petsmart were like this, the chain would probobly be in high standing to hobbyists. (Just need those information signs changed!)
Great for a common tropicals fish, but plants are lacking prices aren't to bad.
Pet Supplies "Plus" (Grand Rapids)
As the name suggests, it isn't exactly what I would call "plus", but you can get some good deals on aquarium equipment/ornaments that you might not be able to find anywhere else anyways. The definetly get some weird fish in their store, so for fun it may be interesting to at least check it out. The health of the fish is pretty bad though...
Great for supplies and dog food but lacking for fish is an understatement
Chow Hound (Grand Rapids, 28th ST)
Since this store was recommended in this topic, I decided to take a visit. To be honest, I was disappointed. People said their plant selection was good, but I found it to be only a little better than usual. The one guy that waited on me did not impress me, and seemed more interested in demonstrating the carnivorous fish than helping out customers. He also said that the SAE listed as Flying Fox were indeed Flying Fox, they clearly weren't. Fish selection was subpar, but the plants they DID have seemed to be in good health, so I will give them that.
Got some unique fish here I found horse head loaches, and albino bristtle nose pleco , plants a bit lacking I think they are getting out of freshwater as the salt water section has expanded.
VIPets (Cutlerville)
Just got back from there tonight, I went there hoping for a better plant selection than the other VIPets, and thankfully they did! I was also glad to see a large bow-front tank fully planted on display, looked like it was taken care of well. I purchased 1 Java Fern (3.99) and 12 Dwarf Saggitarius ($5.00 total), the Saggitarius was a very good deal! They didn't have a massive plant selection, but it was definetly better than the others I've been to. They even had Riccia, which I was quite surprised to see. The staff also convinced me not to buy Riccia since I only had 2.5wpg, which I'm glad because I forgot of it's light requirement. Overall, I recommend this store for plants! Fish were in good condition as well!
Nice planted tank in the front but that is it. They would sell anything in that tank and selection a month ago wasn't the greatest.
I have yet to visit Aquarium Services, but that will be my next stop. Hope you guys find this information helpful, any questions just ask.
See pics of Tims tanks at the above link.
If you are down the Kzoo way and want riccia just let me know. I have plenty of it!
I've just recently gotten back into the hobby and I have also done the circle tour of GR pet stores in the last couple weeks. I will second all of Casty's reviews. I didn't make it to VI Pets on Plainfield, but went everywhere else. I also was impressed with the 72 bowfront at the VI pets in Cutlerville. Pictures of that tank ultimately helped convince my wife to let me to start buying things.
Definitely check out Aquarium Services. I've been there twice in one week stocking up my new aquarium. Tim is really knowledgeable and has some great display tanks. BTW, he just got a shipment of plants in last night...
|I did see GSPs in not the best of health, kind of black but they looked happy still. At least they were in brackish... They also had a fahaka puffer, about the size of a GSP for 20 bucks, I wanted it. =p As for the Riccia, they had it tied down on some small rocks, glad to see it wasn't planted. =p
