Less than a kilometer you will find the Roman Forum, the Colosseum and Trajan's Markets. In this area, next to the historic soul of Rome, it coexists Modern Art: you will find Il Palazzo dell'Esposizioni in Via Nazionale, the largest exhibition space in the center of the capital, and all around you can find many cinemas and theaters. The neighborhood of Monti in recent years has become a trendy place due to the local art galleries, cafes and vintage shops.

Comentários sobre a acomodação
El apartamento es estupendo, muy limpio, tenía todo lo necesario para pasar una estancia agradable y una muy buena ubicación cerca del coliseo desde donde se puede recorrer Roma entera a pie y a poca distancia de La estación de trenes. La anfitriona Alessia muy atenta a los mensajes y contesta ante cualquier necesidad en muy poco tiempo.Roberto el chico que nos esperaba en la puerta del apartamento encantador y muy servicial. La única pega es para Windu ya que es que era la primera vez que reservabamos con ellos y nos pareció excesiva la cuota de gestión que te aplican al formalizar la reserva. 65 euros de los que no te dicen nada hasta que vas a pagar. Otra pequeña pega es en cuanto a la devolución de la fianza... Hace una semana que hemos vuelto y todavía nos la tiene retenida el banco. No nos la liberan hasta el día 20( más de 10 días desde nuestra llegada)

Our family of four adults had a lovely and relaxing stay in Rome at your roof terrace. Accommodations, facilities and staff were excellent. Thank you Alessia and Roberto!
Nice apartment in an excellent location right in the hearth of Rome. We stayed in the apartment for 4 days in september and used the wonderfull roof terrasse alot. It is quite big and has a wonderfull view of the sourrunding roofs.
The apartment is nice, big bathroom and a nice kitchen with everything you need to make your stay confortable.
Make sure to eat at the restaurant in the same house no. 48 it is brilliant.
Booking and checking in went fine. However the communication is a bit confusing as you communicate both with the owner (who I think is Alessi), we were welcomed by an other couple and for questions regarding transport etc. you need to communicate with an agency who were not very responsive.
We were happy with our stay and will stay here again next time we visit Rome.
We enjoyed our stay in Rome. The house was ideally located near Piazza Navona and clean enough. However there were a few disappointments concerning the house. The bedroom has no window and only airconditioning which didn`t cool! The tap in the kitchen is not fixed tot the sink and moves about. And the showerhead in the bathroom is broken with attempts at repair and even a new showerhead in the closet which was the wrong size. Showering was not a pleasant experience! Although Alessia was friendly and immediately answered that they woud repair it, this of course wasn't done during our stay.... (and the fact that it had been repaired before implied that it was already a known problem). The state of the apartment doesn't match the price...
Amazing location, fabulous apartment!
Andrea was excellent at communication and explained everything we needed to know about the apartment.
If you only stay in one place in Rome - stay here. The view of the Pantheon and the entertainment in the square were brilliant. Maybe take some earplugs for the weekend though. You also get a 15% discount at the restaurant right outside the apartment.
This apartment was perfect for me and my two friends. Spacious and clean with a rooftop balcony with amazing view over Piazza della Rotonda and Pantheon. With this location, you can walk to all of the cities best sights. The receptionists are also very helpful. Our stay in this apartment definitely enrichened our weekend in Rome!
Very nice stay in a beautiful flat well furnished. Perfect location, close to everything. We 've had a problem with flodding in the flat. it was solved fluently on a Sunday and did not disturb our stay at all.
Location is perfect! Very central with a lot of nice restaurants nearby, but still quiet. since it is located in a little street. Hosts are gentle and helpful.
We very much enjoyed our stay in Rome in Davide's appartment. A friendly and warm welcome, a nice, well equipped, clean and comfortable appartment in a very quiet street in the center of Rome, a splendid view from the superb terrace - what else would one need to feel like you are heaven on earth. We also appreciated Danieles' and Davide's precious help with transport from and to the airport.
The only minor drawback was the heating in the appartment which was not efficient enough for this time of the year.
we had an amazing time!! the appartment was PERFECT, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!

Everything flows a little more freely in Los Cabos. Here, where the Pacific meets the Gulf of California, trendy hotels, cutting-edge restaurants, and to-die-for shopping create a hot bed of activity that gives new meaning to the word "sizzle." From the liquid libations that pour nightly (and daily) from an endless stream of beach bars to the rolling waves that kiss the sugar-sand shores, this Mexican resort for revelers definitely promotes a glass-half-full mentality.
The Digs
Once you arrive at Club Tesoro at the Wyndham Cabo San Lucas Resort, slip on a plush bathrobe and take a glimpse at the sparkling marina just outside your window. Many of these recently renovated rooms and suites—decorated with vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows—have private balconies, so you can enjoy the ocean's breezy air alongside other amenities like luxurious walk-in showers.

Vurdering av denne eiendommen
Läget var utmärkt och området trevligt med närhet till spårvagnstrafiken som tog oss in till centrum av Prag. Vi gick till många av sevärdheterna.
Lägenheten var spartansk och lite sliten. Ingen värme på så vi frös riktigt mycke och det var Oerhört lyhört både från gatan, spårvagnarna och grannarna. Frukosten borde inte få kallas för frukost den var oerhört torftig.
Das Appartment hat viel Platz und eine Kochmöglichkeit, insgesamt nett. Allerdings ist die Straßenbahn vor der Tür relativ laut, also Oropax nicht vergessen. Ansonsten benötigt man zur City rund 20 Minuten.
Preislich günstig, um die Ecke sind Kneipen und Lebensmittelläden zum Einkaufen.

I would not stay at this place again, in fact I only stayed the first night and found alternative accommodation elsewhere. I arrived late and chose not to take the taxi as it was more expensive than the one from the airport. I wasn't given the code to get the key for the door. I was instructed to ring a number which I did and then was told to ring a different number.The whole process took too long and there was absolutely no welcome at all. The place was cold and unfriendly. The carpet in hall way stank and the room itself stank of bleach and was like a prison cell!The host was not helpful at all, considering that I am a foreigner and don't know the country very well.I would not recommend this place to anyone.I gave it a one star rating as there is not option to give zero star.
Starts with smelly reception area. Tobacco smoke and B.O. Then met by a very unfriendly fat man who was of no help. He shoved two registration slips in front of us and grunted something about filling them out. When we got to our room on the third floor (in the attic) the room remained was stifling hot!! And remained so our entire stay despite some sort of cooling fan that was not adequate. We stayed three nights. The shower leaked and was "repaired via tape". The stair was broken and we tripped on that.
When we checked out we found out breakfast was offered. No one told us about this ether. We will certainly not stay here again.
We arrived late in the evening, so when we wanted to collect our key, the reception was already closed. After a few phone calls we were able to pick up our key at the seemingly closed casino next door.
The apartment itself was great, clean and bright. The only downside was that one of the sofa beds (we were with 4 persons) was a bit on the hard side. It's a great apartment if you don't want to cook yourself, because otherwise options are limited (not a lot of plates and a weird stove).
The breakfast was kind of simple. A few toasts with jam or honey, the coffee and the tea were lovely.
In the neighborhood there were a lot of nice restaurants, mini-markets and other places to eat. Shops like Pho, Pizza Letna and Mr. Hotdog were nice places to grab a bite.
The apartment was very close to a big park. This park leads to places like the Metronome, Prague Castle and an overview point of pretty much the entire city. Via the park you can also easily reach downtown Prague (straight ahead when you enter the park (just when you passed the flowers)).
We gave 3 stars. This is because of the fact that, like we said, the breakfast was a bit simple and because there weren't always people at the reception. The Wi-Fi in the room itself was pretty bad. The Wi-Fi in the hall was better.
Jan's apartment is a really nice place to stay. Near to the river and to the old town, also to the public transport. In the apartment was everything, what we needed. Only wifi coverage was too weak to use. After the day on foot it was a pity for the teenager girl ;)
To sum up, thank you, Jan!
The place is great, I enjoyed a lot the view and the location is good you can go everywhere from here. The tram is one block from here And there is a nice big park near where you can hang out. I totally recommend this place.
Really nice stay, no problems at all for anything! =)

Engineering more careers for women! - Wednesday, 7 October 2009
The Royal Armouries (RA) is co-ordinating two events aimed at inspiring teenagers to pursue careers in science and engineering next month (November) at the Tower of London.
The RA's education team is lining up an exciting programme of guest speakers to encourage students and particularly teenage girls to explore their career options in science – and to help boost the falling numbers of females opting to study physics and chemistry to A Level and beyond.
The first event, on November 16, is a Women in Engineering Day, aimed at 14-year-old girls who are considering their GCSE options and will take place in the Bayer MaterialScience Education Space in the Tower Vaults.
The day will include a morning session with talks from five women with a wide range of experiences in the arenas of science, technology, engineering and maths. The girls will then to look around the Tower, before participating in an interactive session with the Armouries' science education officer Amy Preece in the afternoon.
On November 19, the Royal Armouries will hold a Careers in Science Day, along the same lines as the engineering event. Speakers are already confirmed from the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3), defence industry and Transport for London.
Amy said, "These events are part of an ongoing drive to encourage girls to explore the world of science, in a modern and vibrant way, and to consider the many career paths that are possibly open to them.
"They form part of the exciting ongoing science provision here at the Tower. Our fabulous arms and armour collection and unique setting allow us to create a modern and forward thinking programme that aims to inspire a future generation."
Both events will be staged in the *Bayer MaterialScience*-sponsored education facility. This was opened in 2007 and has enabled approximately 5,000 students from across the UK, aged five to 19, to enjoy a hands-on scientific learning experience both in this memorable and historic setting and as part of an extensive outreach programme.
Royal Armouries has been running an innovative materials science education programme at the Tower of London for almost six years and has six Sanford awards for heritage education.
As part of its unique partnership with Bayer MaterialScience, the Royal Armouries aims to boost the falling numbers of schoolchildren who choose to study science subjects by exciting curiosity about the subject. In turn, it is hoped this will tackle the falling numbers of young men and women who choose to study Physics and Chemistry at A Level, paving the way for science-based careers such as engineering.
Places are limited and need to be booked now on a first-come, first-served basis for both sessions. The nation's future scientists are invited to attend in school groups, accompanied by an adult.

This exhibition explores the formation of identity in the young, by having children assume a sex or nationality other than their own. Together with the actor Morten Nielsen, Henrik Saxgren has investigated and challenged ideas of identity and gender.
In six workshops, 130 children from various Class 6s (average age 11 to 12 years) – with the assistance of professional make-up artists – were given the opportunity to assume another ethnic or sexual identity. The result is a series of remarkable pictures and videos which raise the question of whether it is even possible to identify people from their skin colour and sex.

Obama Holds First Post-Election News Conference
President Obama continues to insist that any agreement to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff next year must include higher taxes on the wealthy. But Obama left the door open to structuring that tax increase in various ways. He's hoping to strike a bargain with congressional Republicans that would prevent a broader tax hike on the middle class that could send the country back into recession.
It's MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
And I'm Linda Wertheimer, in for Renee Montagne.
President Obama continues to insist that any agreement to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff next year must include higher taxes on the wealthy. In his first White House news conference since winning reelection, though, the president left the door open to structuring that tax increase in various ways. He's hoping to strike a bargain with congressional Republicans that would prevent a broader tax hike on the middle-class that could send the country back into recession.
NPR's Scott Horsley reports.
SCOTT HORSLEY, BYLINE: President Obama is set to meet tomorrow with leaders of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans. With the election now behind us, he says, it's time for both parties to set aside their most stubborn talking points and climb down from the fiscal cliff.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: There's only one way to solve these challenges, and that is to do it together.
HORSLEY: The president is not surrendering his own demand, though, that people earning more than a quarter-million dollars a year should pay more in taxes. That was a point he made repeatedly throughout the campaign, and a key difference with his Republican rival Mitt Romney.
OBAMA: Every voter out there understood that that was an important debate. And the majority of voters agreed with me. By the way, more voters agreed with me on this issue than voted for me.
HORSLEY: But Mr. Obama told reporters gathered in the White House East Room there are various ways to meet that goal. Asked if he'd insist on higher tax rates - a non-starter for many Republicans - Mr. Obama said he's open to new ideas.
OBAMA: I don't expect the Republicans simply to adopt my budget. That's not realistic. So I recognize that we're going to have to compromise. And as I said on election night, compromise is hard.
HORSLEY: Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell also yielded slightly to the election results, hinting he might be open to higher taxes on the rich, if he gets something in return.
SENATOR MITCH MCCONNELL: Republicans believe there is a way to get additional revenue. We also believe that additional revenue should be tied to the only thing that will save the country in the long run, and that is reforming entitlements.
HORSLEY: But if that sounds like the makings of a grand bargain, there's still plenty of friction between Mr. Obama and his Republican adversaries. It reached a boiling point yesterday on the subject of Libya. Senator Lindsey Graham and others demanded a Watergate-style investigation of the attack in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. Graham is angry that during a round of Sunday talk shows days after that attack, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice failed to label it an act of terrorism.
Graham vowed to block any effort to promote Rice to replace Hillary Clinton as secretary of state.
SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM: I am dead-set on making sure we don't promote anybody that was an essential player in the Benghazi debacle.
HORSLEY: Mr. Obama has yet to nominate anyone for the top State Department job, but he angrily defended his U.N. ambassador.
OBAMA: If Senator McCain and Senator Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me, and I'm happy to have that discussion with them. But for them to go after the U.N. ambassador, who had nothing to do with Benghazi and was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received and to besmirch her reputation is outrageous.
HORSLEY: Mr. Obama was also asked yesterday about other priorities for his second term, including immigration reform. He says he expects to introduce a bill soon after the inauguration. And he thinks it will garner more Republican support next year, as the GOP tries to win back votes among the fast-growing Latino population.
OBAMA: Historically, what you have seen is that Latinos vote at lower rates than the broader population, and that's beginning to change. You're starting to see a sense of empowerment and civic participation that I think is going to be powerful and good for the country.
HORSLEY: Mr. Obama says he'll also look for new ways to tackle climate change, though he added a carbon tax is probably not politically possible for now. Mr. Obama acknowledged that despite his reelection, many voters still disagree with him. And he promised to be careful to avoid second-term overreach.
OBAMA: On the other hand, I didn't get reelected just to bask in reelection. I got elected to do work.
HORSLEY: Mr. Obama says his only mandate is to help middle class families and those trying to break into the middle class. Scott Horsley, NPR News, Washington.

Main Building, UTSA 1604 Campus
UTSA responds to challenging economic times
A Message from the President
February 13, 2009
Dear UTSA colleagues,
As we face a period of heightened economic uncertainty and hardships, it is crucial that UTSA is both responsive and strategic in its approaches during these challenging times. Therefore, I'd like to share with you some of the initiatives we have implemented.
I have asked UTSA administrators to identify opportunities to reduce administrative costs wherever feasible. Business practices are being reviewed for efficiency while existing technology and resources are being leveraged to control costs. In addition, we will review our existing conservation and recycling programs to ensure and continue valuable savings to the university.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Our most pressing task at this time, however, is to position the university to address immediate problems created by the recession and credit crisis. As part of a systemwide initiative, we will carefully review requests to add additional headcount (new positions) at UTSA. This flexible hiring freeze is effective immediately and I anticipate it will remain through August 2010.
We will continue to identify other strategies to best prepare our university to respond to any further weakening of the economy which includes working with UT System and state leaders. Additionally, I want to collaborate with you (students, faculty and staff) to develop strategies to maximize available resources and contain costs. I ask for your help in identifying and reducing discretionary expenditures. With your assistance, I am confident UTSA will be well prepared to weather these challenging economic times.
As one of the state's fastest growing institutions of higher learning, we will continue our commitment to expanding access to excellence in higher education and maintaining our status as good stewards of public resources.
Ricardo Romo
President, The University of Texas at San Antonio

Town Square
Community lacking character?
Original post made by Alison, Danville, on Jul 3, 2009
My kids and I loaded our few (4) chairs back in our car and decided to return later. Rules are rules. Or so we thought...
As luck would have it, I needed to be back downtown in the afternoon, so I ran my errand without consideration of the chairs and came back home.
At 5 PM we decided to head downtown to take a walk and wait until 6 to put our chairs out (we figured we should give ourselves a little extra time to find parking, guessing everyone else would be arriving then as well).
I was absolutely shocked that the entire street was already completely lined with chairs, marked off with taped paper on the ground, or chalk writing. Chairs were roped off, bicycle chained or "manned" by those who were placing their chairs out. We approached a few individuals "standing by" and they basically told us to blow off.
I have never felt so offended in this town! Here I could've had my chairs out at 8AM or again at 2PM, but instead I chose to wait for the deadline established by the police department - I would have assumed that was the way things were done here in Danville.
So, here we are at home tonight, with no place for a chair tomorrow, and while this may be trivial to some of you, I think I came away feeling saddened by the character of our community. It seems like this community has decided what they want is more important than playing by the rules.
We'll be at the parade tomorrow, sure we'll find somewhere to enjoy the scene and it will be a great day, but I think Danville is losing some of it's friendly-neighbor town feel when we tell each other to take a hike for doing the right thing.
In all honesty, I think this artificial deadline that obviously wasn't enforcable should be changed to 24 hours before the parade.
If nothing else, please try and be a better neighbor tomorrow.

I agree completely with her comments. I too followed the rules and went downtown at 6p to place a few chairs and could not believe my eyes! It was obscene. People had roped, chained, taped and placed blankets from the beginning of the route to the end. Why did the police even bother to place those signs or place reminders in the town newspapers, that chairs will be removed if placed before 6p? It was ludicrous. I also felt saddened that locals are so crazy to get their way that they will just ignore the rules. It is a behavior that obviously rubs off on the kids of Danville too. The rules don't apply to us, because we are special. Oh well what is there to do? The parade was fantastic and I am glad I braved the crowd and did find someplace to put my chairs, even after 6 p.m.

on Jul 6, 2009 at 7:26 am
I feel the chairs should not even be allowed. If you want to go, go early and get a spot. To me its like someone standing in a parking spot waiting for their friend to get to that spot. I have been to countless parades and have never seen where you can hold a spot the day before. There is always room down by the Safeway but the parade is very slow moving and makes it three times as long as it should be. Maybe that is why people need chairs since its so slow.

No wonder Madeline Levine and her "The Price of Privilege" seminars are so popular around here...monkey see, monkey do.
a resident of Danville
on Jul 6, 2009 at 7:39 am
I think there should be a permit required to put out a chair and the cost could be $100 per and they would get a label to attach. This way if they are serious about not standing, it will give Danville some added funds to patrol and clean up after the parade.

People DO love a parade. The 6:00 p.m. rule was difficult to enforce, but the chair police tried. Around 2:00 they came down Hartz Ave. and removed some chairs. With a bucket of water and a mop, they washed away the chalk lines. Little by little though, too many chairs came. Although they were walking/driving up and down the parade route, it was next to impossible to stop these chairs! I agree that it's a little crazy, yet standing for 2-3 hours is not desirable.
My neighbors and I came down at 3:15 with our chairs, hung out with a beverage from Starbuck's and then placed our chairs, front row and curbside at exactly 6:00 p.m. If someone walked up before that, we kindly said, "We are here for that spot." I think we were fair & reasonable. It was akin to waiting in line.
What's most amazing is that all the chairs sat there for the night and weren't disturbed or stolen! If parade chair placement is our community's big issue for the month, I think we are quite fortunate. I love Danville.

The "parade chair" problems continues year after year. How about banning all chairs and let people sit on the curb like in the "old days"?
Or at the least have chairs restricted to alternate blocks on opposite sides of the street with
the restriction reversed in odd numbered years except on leap years when only chairs rented from the Town of Danville would be permitted.

I agree with Allison, Ron & Old Timer,
The chair thing, chalk marking and tape is ridiculous and should not be allowed. As for the people who do it, I'm glad they have so much time on their hands.
If the town insists on allowing it, the seat license idea is a good one.

I have lived here for 21 years, and am currently raising a boy (13) who is polite and not "entitled." It IS difficult, though, to maintain this when he sees so many "special" people, as at the parade. If seating is needed and people want to assure their place ahead of time, maybe we could have grandstand seating and sell tickets. Otherwise, I vote for no chairs, blankets, trucks in parking lots, caution tape etc prior to the start of the parade (9:00AM). Maybe the Kiawanis would be willing to pick up the offending material when they go down the street to place the trash cans?

I am embarrassed, but not surprise at the rude behavior of my fellow Danville neighbors. I have had to deal with many parents who think that the world revolves around them and that is how they raise their children. Many Danville children have done some despicable things, and their parents either pay it off or ignore it all together. If parents don't obey rules/laws and respect others, then why should their children?
We live in such a beautiful town; I wish we could all act as beautiful.
Thank you CLJ, I'm sure you are raising a great respectable boy.

I think that seating should be by permit and paid for to off set the cost of cleaning etc. No trucks, not to banish parade lovers but to have some control over the expanding parade crowd. I have lived in
Danville over 30 years and enjoyed the parade with my sons as they grew up....now when they want to return with their little ones it is too big and too much to fight the crowds, not to be able to see what is happening. I really like the bleacher idea. That would allow good viewing and ticket sales could benefit or as I said before pay for the clean up and bleacher fees.
a resident of Danville
on Jul 6, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Since parade has gotten so big and people like to sit, then the bleacher idea might be a solution for the town and appeal to many. And charge a nominal fee $20 for each seat. If people want to stake out a spot on the street/sidewalk - let them do it after 6PM the night before. They take the time and make the effort, they should have a designated spot to sit. It's silly using police officers to enforce the seating by washing off chalk marks. Get a grip - that's a waste of their time and the taxpayer's money.

I live in Danville, 3 blocks away from the parade and I have to say for one day out of the year I enjoy seeing the streets lined with chairs of different sizes, blankets of different colors and the unique way everyone marks off their areas for the parade that they won't see until the following day. I get a kick out of seeing people sitting in their chairs talking to strangers, eating their ice-cream or eating their dinner the night before the parade, adults and kids alike....in their chairs. How many cities around can do this and not have to worry about their chairs being taken? I can't think of one....It's a fun and funny tradition that someone started......surely some of the old-timers can find something other that this to complain about????

I already posted this on a different thread, but it bears repeating here.
We went to the Danville Parade once when we first moved here. Never again will we put ourselves through such a display of rudeness and incivility.
As an experiment, remove all time restrictions on allowing people to "reserve" a space with chairs, blankets or whatever. This will really show you what kind of people go to the parade.
a resident of Danville
on Jul 6, 2009 at 9:39 pm
As someone not from this area, I'm truly not surprised by this behavior. I was at the grocery store and responded to a question from the female sales clerk by saying, "Yes, Ma'am." You'd have thought I tried to rape her the way she carried on about being called Ma'am. Later that same day, I was exiting a business and held the door open as I stood aside to let the lady behind me exit first. She threw up her nose and said that she was quite capable of opening the door herself. I thought, whew, Barbara Boxer sure does fit in well here.
When you teach your children respect and discipline, then you'll have good behavior at the parade.

You know, I really love it here. I have so many great neighbors. I've also seen some people who think they are entitled somehow or just want to beat out the next guy, but that hasn't spoiled my feelings for the town.
Alison, like you I am a rule follower - totally! I tend to feel better knowing I didn't take a spot that someone else, maybe someone with babies for their lap or someone with problems standing for long periods, could have had. I'm also glad my kids don't see me act that way.
It's a bummer that people sometimes operate from a "get mine before they get theirs" mentality, but don't let it get you too down. We still are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful community.

I dont find people rude, I find the act to be rude and these people dont have a clue. They think its their spot if they put out a chair even if they are taking up more room than needed. They also make it hard to cross the street. I have been here 18 years and have never attended the parade pass the Safeway for that reason. Here is an idea, let Norms or any bar or place that serves food set up a grandstand and let the people sit there as long as they are eating and drinking. More income for Norms and the city. Only problem with that is big brother will say no outside drinking.
Rude people are everywhere but face it, its better here than most towns. I dont let the snobs bother me, I grew up in a town where many got rich over oil leases and wells on their property. Many were multi millionairs but you could not tell, they were the same nice people driving the same truck. Not here in Danville, people have to show it and with that comes rudness and a feeling of being special. To be honest, this town is full of fakes but its our home till I retire then someone can take my place in this little but big ego town.

The parade used to be a Danville thing. Now its for the whole Bay Area. Here's an idea: every politician who is not from Danville should be charged $10,000 to ride in the parade.

Okay, so some folks don't follow the rules and others do. Given that the rule in question is about setting up chairs for the 4th of July parade in a wonderful town, I am not sure feathers should be so ruffled - although I do understand.
Please be thankful that all those chairs that are setup the day before, whether at or before the designated hour, are still there the next day. There are many places where those chairs would be long gone by the next day.
The situation provides the perfect lesson for any parent to teach their child that "just because everyone does it, doesn't make it right". And, that life isn't always fair even when there are clear rules for the game...that's life - no matter where ya' live.

I'm amused by reading all of the other responses that this would be such a hot topic. What I see is that it's really comes down to honesty and rudeness as well as morals and obligations.
As a 15-year resident of Danville, raising two sons, I too fully witness the "sense of entitlement" as well as the overall rudeness of many people. It's a challenge raising children here and as my husband and I say, "Danville is the worst place to raise children as well as the best place to raise children". I know most of you will understand.
The chair thing goes on my (thankfully) short list of "pet peeves" along with stopping my car to "let" someone into the traffic flow and not getting a thank you in any way.
The Danville Fourth of July parade is truly a wonderful thing to experience either from the inside or the sidelines. Coming from a small East Coast town, it does bring back fond memories. There was only one year where I left out chairs (after the suggested time) and had no problem finding a small patch of pavement.
If people are so insistent about supporting our town's parade, good for all. It would be nice if rules would be adhered to and maybe charging for a chair permit is a good idea but I think it would take something away from the entire event. How about no chairs (as previously suggested)?? Sounds good to me.
And next time when someone stops their car to let you in, a little wave would be nice!!

Why is following the rules so hard for people in such a nice community? Why do such otherwise intelligent people think it is okay for them to make up their own rules or choose which ones to obey? This subject totally baffles me!
We have lived in Danville over 10 years, and loved it, but the last few years the rule-bending and superior attitudes are getting out of control! Why do so many people here think they and their needs are more important than everyone else?
Whether it's unsafe bike riding, or chairs on the street, trying to pick up your kids in a crowded school parking lot, or rudely attacking each other on the Danville weekly forum, the residents of Danville need to stop thinking so much about themselves and think more about the community as a whole. If everyone in Danville only commits one publicly rude act per year, that's over 40,000 rude acts per year.
Get over yourselves, people!

text: Hello everyone, I am new here! I live in Lexington, South Carolina. I just purchased an 03' Silverado 1500HD LT model with all of the bells and whistles about 3 weeks ago. I bought it with 43K, it has almost 44K on it right now. Besides the gas mileage, I am really enjoying it. The reason I got it was because I was wanting a vehicle that I could use as a pick up and haul the family around. This truck definitely gets the job done. I look forward to chatting with everyone! I am pretty sure that I will be having some questions for modifications sooner or later. Again, nice to meet you all!

I know very little about Ireland but I know that over here in Australia (central west NSW...3hrs nth/west of Sydney) I have to grow basil inside in the cooler months. Actually, I bought a new plant on Friday and I am keeping it inside. All we need is one cold night and the one in the garden will be gone!

Re: Growing basil
I plant it in the garden in the summer , I often just buy a few of those pots and plant then in a cluster , I have not had much sucess with seeds striaght int the garden as the snails just love eating the seedlings.
If you have fir cones , surround the plants with a ring of fir cones a couple of fir cones deep , ( thinest end pointing away from the plants ) Snails and slugs find it very difficult to climb over thr fircones !!

Re: Growing basil
Good idea mummz, i'll gather up the next fall of cones later this year.
Basil is that one little herb that loves bathing in the sun and having its roots humid, if you can do that it will be happy. If my last basil lasted all last summer its because it lived in those conditions.
It was planted in a high container made of white clay, the pores in the clay allow difficult plants to breath and be rid of an excess of water.

Re: Growing basil
I live in Melbourne which is a Mediterranean climate (so basil is quite easy) but I have a little warm sheltered area where I can grow more tropical plants like lemon grass and curry leaf, and they are okay even over winter.
If you had such a warm sheltered place (but sunny too) you could try basil there?
I grow mine in pots, and only over Summer. Sweet basil grows into a good size by the end of summer, so the pots aren't small, but they could still be moved into a sunny spot, and then out of the cold, if I were in Ireland!
Good luck!

Basil prefers temps above 55 F. or 12.7 C. Our last frost date is usually mid-April and even then, I would not leave basil out if the nights were in the 40's.

Airbus continued its excellence in widebody aircraft with today's inauguration of the A350 XWB Final Assembly Line – an event that occurred 40 years after the maiden flight of its game-changing A300, which put the company on track to becoming a world-leading commercial airliner manufacturer.
Today's inauguration, held inside this purpose-built L-shaped facility next to Toulouse-Blagnac Airport in south-western France, marked a new industrial milestone in the A350 XWB programme. The event was attended by more than 1,000 representatives from customers, suppliers and partners, along with elected officials and other invitees – who were joined by an equal number of Airbus employees, many waving A350 XWB flags.
Airbus' A350 XWB Family is the latest expansion of a jetliner product line that traces its roots to the widebody A300 – which performed the maiden flight from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport on 28 October, 1972. While the A300 entered its final assembly phase with one booking for a small number of aircraft, the initial build-up of A350 XWBs comes as this aircraft has amassed a record 558 firm orders from 34 customers to date.
"The A350 carries forward a widebody heritage that began with the A300, and it represents Airbus' future in possibly the most competitive industry on Earth," said Airbus President and CEO Fabrice Brégier in a speech at the inauguration. "I thank everyone in the teams for such great work, as they are not just building the A350; they are building the future of Airbus."
Today's event underscored the A350 XWB programme's progress, as it spotlighted the build-up status in the final assembly hall for the jetliner's first two airframes. The first is a static test airframe sized as an A350-900, and it is to be used for ground-based structural evaluations. It is at the final assembly line's Station 40 – with the complete fuselage assembled, along with installation of the wings and vertical tail plane. At the adjacent Station 50 is the no. 1 aircraft being built for flight – also an A350-900 version – with its fuselage already joined, and now ready for mating of the wings, as well as vertical and horizontal tail planes in the coming weeks.
As the jetliner family's middle family member, the A350-900 accommodates 314 passengers in a typical three-class configuration. The longer-fuselage A350-1000 version seats 350, while the shortest – the A350-800 – has a capacity of 270 passengers. All of these mid-size widebody aircraft bring together Airbus expertise in design, aerodynamics, materials and advanced systems for a highly efficient, eco-friendly jetliner series with true long-range capabilities.
In addressing today's inaugural ceremony crowd, Airbus Chief Operating Officer Günter Butschek said final assembly of a third A350 XWB is to begin before year-end, with the programme's production rate ramping up to a targeted 10 aircraft per month by late 2018.

text: With using IJS to judge, the thing I like best is it helps me to analyse and evaluate. And to be able to dissect the performance so you understand why you are giving the marks you are. Whilst judging is subjective, at the end of the day you still have to explain why you came up with the marks you did. And for me there is nothing better than sitting down with a skater or coach to go through the protocol and explain to them how I saw things so that it can help them improve. It is probably the most satisfying part of the sport. Because coaches are not judges and believe or not, do not always see what a judge sees. They are sometimes too close to a skater to look at what the skater does objectively. You actually can provide a fresh set of eyes for them.

More experienced developers can use these recipes to solve time-consuming problems quickly, freeing up their time for the more creative aspects of their work.
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Java Servlet and JSP Cookbook is a fennec fox (Fennecus zerda), also known as the desert fox. Fennes foxes live in arid sandy regions of northern Africa, the Sahara, the Sinai Peninsula and Arabia and are one of the tiniest members of the canine family (eight inches at the tallest and usually less than a foot long). Their relatively huge ears and beady black eyes give them a distinctive appearance. The fennec fox's bushy tail is characteristic of most foxes, and a thick creamy coat camouflages them in their sandy habitat.Fennec foxes live in burrows and are nocturnal hunters, eating plants, small rodents, birds and their eggs, lizards, and insects. Their hearing is so acute that they can hear even the smallest of prey walking across desert sand. These foxes often stalk their prey and pounce upon it; their vertical leap is two feet high and they can jump four feet horizontally from a standing position, astounding feats for an animal of such small stature. They are rapid and prolific diggers, known for "disappearing" into sand while appearing to stand still. Some reports note that this species can dig a 20-foot-long tunnel in one night!The fennec fox is not listed as endangered, but is now considered rare in some areas where it was once common. They have been hunted extensively and are sometimes taken from the wild for the pet trade. Philip Dangler was the production editor and copyeditor for Java Servlet and JSP Cookbook.

Its exactly what it says it is: a series of problems with their worked solutions. Reading it I couldn't help feeling that some of the info was quite dated. But then again, this isn't the latest technology. Good structure, and the writing is very close to english for a Software engineering book.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

While this book is certainly very wide-ranging, I think it achieves this at the expense of detail.I bought this book essentially because I know a fair amount about JSPs and servlets, but wanted to research i18n, security, the jstl and the new 2.4 stuff. I also wanted the kind of tips and tricks that cookbooks normally provide in abundance.While it provides a reasonable guide to pretty much everything, it certainly does not stand on its own - you WILL need to supplement it with other books or internet resources. For example, I needed to access the elements of a HashMap using the JSTL tag - but while the cookbook tells you the basics of the syntax, it doesn't tell you how you access the name/value pairs specific to this type. Conversely, however, it provides rather simple and vendor-specific chapters like "Deploying an individual JSP on Tomcat".I think a little less boilerplate text and a bit more information would make this a killer book. As it is, it is certainly useful, but I would not recommend it as the one book to buy on this topic.

When we got to the top of a hill, per the boys request or my suggestion or my insistence, I recited what I could remember from Robert Frost's poem. I must have memorized it in high school or college because the first 6 lines came back to me. It was exhilarating. I felt brilliant. I repeated what I knew again. Loudly. Then looked up the rest on my iPhone.
We continued down to the park all the way to The Pool to check out the ducks. It was so satisfying to bring a book to life, yet still be within walking distance to a Dunkin Donuts. 3 hot chocolates with whip cream and 2 donuts later we were ready to do it again. But we had promises to keep. And miles to go before we had to pick Ella up from basketball practice. And miles to go before we had to pick Ella up from basketball practice. Or something like that.
|When it came to the part in the poem about the only sound is downy flake, I asked the boys what they could hear.
Our woods had a soothing mixture of birds, the crunchy snow beneath our boots, and firetruck sirens.
I just got the updated amount raised for Mohammed's Sneaker Project.
So far the total amount raised is $1500! Incredible.
And in case you're curious, I didn't delete any comments from the post.
There was no need. You guys are so kind. Thank you.

I am new to the idea of queen rearing but have read four books on the subject and read a bunch of threads on this site. I have no hands on experience with queen raising. I plan to raise a few queens the first year (maybe a few dozen). I will be using 8 frame mediums and (probably) build about 10 sets of 5 frame nucs with supers based on the Coats design reduced to medium frame size for use as mating nucs.
I need opinions on the pros and cons of the Mann Lake Queen rearing system. The ability to put a queen cell protector/cage seems like a good idea since I might be a day late getting back to the ripe queen cells. Does the queen really have to be confined to force her to lay in the cell block? Could you just drill a board to hold the cups and would she lay without the without confinement?
Does anyone make an 8 frame Cloake board? I might have to make one out of an 8 frame queen excluder...
Mann Lake Queen system:
Nuc- note, I will be reducing it to fit 6-1/4" frames. My nuc bottom plan is to reduce the Side height "A" to 6-5/8", and the Front and Back "D" and "E" height to 5-7/8". This gives a 3/8" bee space above and below the frames. I am planning to make supers with Side Height "A" of 6-5/8", and the Front and Back "D" and "E" to 5-7/8" giving a 3/8" bee space above the frames.

text: When Art Modell left Cleveland, the smartest thing he did was take former Hall of Fame TE Ozzie Newsome along. Ozzie was eventually named President of the newly formed Baltimore Ravens, & the rest is history. Newsome is a Hall of Fame executive, as well, drafting great players such as Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Haloti Nata, Ray Rice, Terrell Suggs, etc. They are 4-1 & to no one's surprise, sit atop the AFC North. Their defense has become as famous for it's toughness as the Steelers', & their offense has dramatically improved. Unlike the Cowboys, they actually draft offensive linemen with regularity: 2nd & 4th rds. in '12, 3rd rd. in '11, 6th in '10, & 1st in '09 & '07. They also brought in former 1st rd. pick Bryant McKinney in '11 to bolster their attack. THAT's how you build a powerful OL, & why Ray Rice & Co. run wild through the NFL year after year. I just hope the Cowboys soon begin to copy the Raven's model of taking offensive lineman high in the draft and bringing in better players from other teams. Until they do, our running game will stall, & Tony Romo (or whomever) will be running for their lives. This line they have now is the worst in the league, and a shame to put on the field. It quite frankly makes me angry.

Pequot Lakes contemplates visions for future
Imagine Pequot Lakes with a city administrator. Or an indoor hockey rink. How about an improved Sibley Park?
These ideas and many more were tossed out at a visioning session of the Pequot Lakes City Council on Tuesday, Jan. 22, identifying possible future needs of the city.
Council members and city staff shared ideas, regardless of cost or feasibility. Mayor Nancy Adams wrote the ideas on large sheets of paper for all to see, and then the group consolidated ideas into subgroups and prioritized them.
No action was taken on any ideas. The goal was to generate ideas and prioritize them. City clerk Sandy Peine will summarize the discussion for council members to consider in the future.
Following are the six subgroups and ideas included in each:
Parks/amenities to draw people to town and keep them there
Sibley Park; parks in general; community garden; obtain center of town park; splash park; community center; dog park; bike, snowmobile and walking trail; Cole Memorial Building uses; indoor hockey rink; summertime restrooms.
Big finance picture
Tax equalization (urban and rural taxing districts), bonding, innovative financing/revolving loan fund, incentives for vacant lot development (in-fill lots).
City gateway, planning for downtown, recovery of Old 371 and County Road 11, parking lots, future commercial development sites, sewer ponds/sanitation, comprehensive plan.
Public works
Public works facility, streets and infrastructure plan, storm sewer, infrastructure assessment, remodel of city hall, capital improvement plan, cemetery.
City administrator, structure of government.
Visitors bureau, citywide wifi, marketing city, partnership with neighboring communities.
Each council member then put stars next to what each considered to be the most important ideas. Results were:
• Parks: Sibley Park, splash park and trails.
• Finance: Urban and rural taxing districts, revolving loan fund, fill-in incentives.
• Planning: Gateway to city, comprehensive plan and downtown planning.
• Public works: Streets and infrastructure plan; and new public works facility.
• Government: City administrator.
• Marketing: Marketing the city, such as by giving away mugs, cups hats and shirts emblazoned with "Pequot Lakes."
The council discussed promoting Peine to city administrator in some capacity. Options would be to combine an administrator/city clerk position or have an administrator and city clerk/deputy clerk.
This won't happen overnight, but the council may further discuss the idea. It would not result in additional staff.
Regarding Sibley Park, the council would like to see the park improved and made safer. Ideas included winter skating on the lake, safer steps leading down to the lake and lighting.
"When I was a kid when all that stuff was built we went there daily," said council member Tyler Gardner. "Now it's just kind of rundown."
Council member Dave Sjoblad mentioned the possibility of a trail from downtown Pequot Lakes to Sibley Park.
Regarding tax equalization of the urban and rural taxing districts, the council learned the Economic Development Committee (EDC) will look at that. Council members are to submit any questions they have in writing for the EDC.
Council member Scott Pederson talked about the need for a visitor bureau to promote Pequot Lakes. The Pequot Lakes chamber is part of the Brainerd Lakes Chamber, which promotes business and not necessarily the town, he said.
"Nisswa kicks the tail off of Pequot Lakes when it comes to promoting the town," he said, noting Nisswa is unique in that the chamber promotes the town and functions as a tourism bureau because Nisswa doesn't have the industry Pequot Lakes has.
He suggested a kiosk with information and restrooms. Pequot Lakes could collaborate with Breezy Point in a tourism mode — not to build business, but to bring people to the area to shop, eat and stay.
Overall, the council discussed the need to look to the future.
"We need to grow the town. We need to get the future in place," Adams said.
Pederson said the council can continue to make ends meet and keep taxes the same or lower each year, but at some point the city will pay huge costs to totally rebuild infrastructure and streets.
"That's the risk of pinching pennies," he said. "We have to define what the value is and what we're willing to pay as a city."
Sjoblad said he's proud of what's been done since Sibley Township and the city of Pequot Lakes merged.

Of all the films that John Hillcoat's gangster melodrama resembles, Roger Corman's pulp classic Bloody Mama might be the most instructive; it too has a great cast and a terrific story, but it doesn't take itself too seriously. Hillcoat, though, strives for epic and ends up with clichés. Three brothers run a bootlegging outfit in Depression-era Virginia — two tough guys (Tom Hardy and Jason Clarke) and the runt, played by Shia LaBeouf, who convinces as a wimp but not as the brains of the outfit that he becomes. Like the hippies in Savages, they are too successful for their own good, and outsiders horn in on the action. And inject some life and humor: Guy Pearce as a brilliantined, sadistic FBI agent is like late Brando at his nuttiest, and Gary Oldman as a wry mobster gives the movie a soul for the brief time he's on screen. As for the women, Jessica Chastain's tough cookie tends bar and patches wounds, and Mia Wasikowska brings a naughty glint to her thankless role as a sexy holy roller.

text: I had walked through the hives in the morning around 10 am and everything was normal. About 2 pm I glanced in the direction of the hives while walking to my shop and a large dark clump caught my eye, it was almost hanging over the hives. On further inspection, I found a swarm not 10 feet from the hives on a sweet gum limb. It had, easily 10 lbs of bees, big swarm, I think. Anyhow, I had an empty Five Frame Deep Nuc on the stand a few feet away, and a pair of side cutters in my pocket. Took the lid off, cut the limb, laid it in the NUC, shook it about a bit, gave them four fresh frames and one with drawn comb, put the lid on and went about my business. Took all of 10 minutes. Thinking about changing my name to Lucky.

Probably you are joking? There were in the flat no bin liners. We paid, so cleaning is responsibility of you. There was no information, that it was necessary perfectly to clean. We didn't leave the great mess.
Apart from that there was no bathtub from the jacuzzi which I paid for. You ordered to pay extra for the Internet.
Great apartment!
The apartment is in a very good state and was very clean. We felt home immediately and there was everything we needed. You can walk from the apartment to the center of Funchal in about 10 minutes. There is also a parking space in the car park of the house if you rent a car. During our stay there was a street festival in our street which we enjoyed a lot due to the live music every evening. Adriana was a little worried we could feel annoyed by the music of the festival (which is once in a year) but it was a great experience, especially the Fado night. Adriana was very friendly and helpful.
We can absolutely recommend Adriana's apartment!
Adriana was very friendly. The apartment was very nice furnished. It´s not far from the center. It was a very nice stay.
Very nice apartment with all the comforts installed on the fifth floor (with elevator and garage) in a very quiet area. Arrangement very well thought out, nothing is missing. You can reach the city center on foot in 15 minutes. Ideal for two people. Charming welcome.
Très joli appartement, installé avec tout le confort au cinquième étage (avec ascenseur et garage) dans un quartier très calme. Agencement très bien pensé, rien ne manque. On peut atteindre le centre-ville à pied en 15 minutes. Séjour idéal pour deux personnes. Accueil charmant.
Fantastic apartment in a great position for the buses and harbour,Adriana was very helpful and we would have no hesitation recommending the apartment and Madeira to anyone, look forward to going again!

We are very pleased with our stay in Funchal. Not least was the flat part in making our stay a memorable experience. The apartment was well equipped and the location in a shopping center crucial to get in Funchal, made all the breakfast was eaten in the apartment.
We are also very pleased with Adriana. She was very helpful and pleasant.
Everything worked well and we are happy to recommend the apartment to others.
Host very helpful and really friendly!

As I booked the apartment the same evening I wanted to move in, my host Adriana took all efforts to make it possible. Thank You so much, Adriana!! The apartment is perfectly located in the center of Funchal, a quiet street off one of the main through roads. First choice for all visitors who love vibrant Funchal as well as day trips over the island.

Excerpt: "It is not correct, Osi Umenyiora says, to assume members of the Giants defensive line are feeling the heat to generate more quarterback sacks.
No one can hit one out of the park unless the ball is pitched.
Its just like a guy whos a slugger and every single time theyre throwing him balls, Umenyiora said yesterday. Theyre trying to walk him and then youre asking why hes not hitting home runs. If they pitch him the ball, hes going to hit a home run.
Were not getting pitches. Its really that simple. When we get the pitches whenever we get ahead, whenever we get one-on-one blocks, were going to take advantage of them, but were just not really seeing that right now.
Umenyiora, with six sacks, is just behind Jason Pierre-Paul (6 1/2) for the team lead, with the other pass-rushing defensive end, Justin Tuck, stuck on three. Umenyiora says he knows he and the others are judged by their sack totals, which are down for all three. He insists sacks, while important, are not the end-all and be-all.
We can say it till were blue in the face, but the only people who know and actually sit there and watch this for a living ... we know exactly how it is that were actually affecting the quarterback and the teams that try and take us away, Umenyiora said. So at the end of the day sacks are what everybody looks at, so we have to find a way to get more.
The only sack last week against Drew Brees was by Umenyiora mid-way through the fourth quarter, despite Brees dropping back 44 times. That sounds like not enough pressure until you hear defensive coordinator Perry Fewell explain the gameplan against the Saints was to make Brees feet hot and move the launch pad, meaning not allow him to set himself before throwing.
In other words, dont worry about sacks." Read more...

When pranks go wrong
1. Randy Wood, embittered and angry and wanting to get one over his ex-wife, called her up and told her to come over ... he had something to show her. When she arrived she found him hanging by a noose from a tree in the front garden of his house in New York state. She immediately called emergency services and firemen, policemen and paramedics showed up. But when a fireman went to cut Wood down they found a concealed harness supporting his body weight and one sniggering ex-husband totally intact. It was a short lived victory however, as he was subsequently fined $1000 and sent to jail for a year.
2. Being a night security guard at Toys 'R' Us must be boring. So it's understandable why Ron Zero engaged in a little doll cross-dressing. But when Carina Guillot and her 12-year-old daughter, Jocelyn, walked into the Florida store in 1990 they thought they had found a unique Mattel doll, which would surely be a collector's item. Shortly after they were offered $4000 for their rare find. But once the story went national Ron confessed and was sacked for his honesty. (Source: Listverse.com)
Enough to make you teetotal
Worst job you've ever had: "I once worked at the Wilson's Whisky factory in Dunedin straightening label after label after label," writes a reader. "If the monotony wasn't bad enough, the yeasty smell day after day eventually made me vomit. Job didn't last long as the rest of the chain gang got pretty annoyed at having to stop the conveyor so I could dry retch. Now every time I smell whisky I gag."
Teenage night owls brighter
Research on teenagers has found that those who burn the midnight oil are generally brighter and wealthier than early risers. A study of around 1000 teenagers by the University of Madrid found that those who preferred to stay up late exhibited the kind of intelligence associated with better jobs and higher salaries. Researchers looked at the habits and body clocks of the youths and determined whether they liked to stay up late or rise early. Their school performance, inductive reasoning (or problem solving abilities), academic grades and major subjects were also examined in the study. Night owls performed better than early risers at inductive reasoning and demonstrated a greater capacity to think conceptually as well as analytically. These abilities have been linked to innovative thinking, more prestigious occupations and better incomes. (Source: Telegraph.co.uk)

TM06 Undercounter Taste and Odor Filter
Effectively reduces: bad taste, odors, chlorine, organic chemicals, pesticides and herbicides. For use on private or municipal water systems.
- Simple to install—easily replaces standard cartridge filters.
- Mineral easily replaced, approximately every three years.
- 10-year warranty on NSF approved fiberglass tank.Wastes no water, uses no electricity.
- Compact size (7" W x 20" H [18 x 51 cm]) fits conveniently under standard kitchen sink.
- Improves the taste and odor of water and beverages.
- Reduces chemicals such as chlorine and municipal treatment chemical by-products.
Unlike the small, cartridge-type carbon filters which need to be replaced each month, the TasteMax Undersink Filter can last up to 3 years under normal conditions before carbon replacement is necessary.
Plus, the deluxe under-counter filter allows a normal rate of water flow of approximately 3 GPM (11 LPM) through the faucet. Most cartridge type filters and faucet mount filters restrict water flow to a level that requires considerable time to fill a pan with water. Or, they have no restriction control at all, which means little contact time with carbon and therefore less effective removal of contaminants present in the water. More mineral, more contact time with water, less hassle with changing cartridges every 45 days.
Carbon filter mineral must be replaced periodically to ensure filter effectiveness. Maximum life is 3 years. For your 3 year carbon replacement, order carbon refill kit 136227.

text: Just my opinion but I do think starting your own message board for such things would be the best avenue. The benefits of being able to have a more open atmosphere in regards to rules (though it has to be strict here for good reasons) and then also having the freedom of who you allow in such a place is tremendous. The way I see it, you could have you and 5 of your pals and perhaps when you get a good vibe from someone on these boards, you could invite them to take a look at yours as well.

Three injured in storm-related Hwy. 97 crash
Driver cited for rear-ending slowing traffic amid debris
MADRAS, Ore. - Two adults and an 8-year-old girl were taken to Madras and Bend hospitals Sunday afternoon after a three-car crash on Highway 97 north of Madras in which mud and debris on the highway during an intense storm was a factor, Oregon State Police said.
Around 4 p.m., a 1994 Chevrolet Corsica driven by Alejandro Magana, 39, from Moses Lake, Washington, was northbound on Highway 97 near milepost 79 when it began to slow down, as did other traffic in both directions due to mud debris on the highway, troopers said.
The Corsica was struck from behind by a 2007 Dodge pickup driven by Nathan Hamlin, 20, of Prineville, causing the car to spin across the highway, where it was struck again in the rear by a southbound 2011 Chevy pickup driven by Brian Meece, 63, from Bend.
Hamlin's pickup went off the highway into a ditch, where it came to rest on its side, troopers said.
An 8-year old girl in that was trapped and freed from the wreckage by Jefferson County Fire District No. 1 personnel. She was taken to St. Charles-Bend with non-life threatening injuries.
Magana, the girl's father was taken by ambulance to St. Charles-Madras with minor injuries. His wife/passenger was not injured, troopers said.
Nathan Hamlin also was unhurt, while his passenger, Stefanie Hamlin, 23, was taken to St. Charles-Madras with a possible minor injury. Meece also was not injured.
OSP said they cited Nathan Hamlin for following too closely.
All were using safety restraints.
OSP was assisted at the scene by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, Jefferson County Fire District #1 and ODOT. The highway was blocked for a brief period until it was cleared.
Senior Trooper James Reeher is the lead investigator.

Mixing Business with Pleasure in Columbus
Sonesta ES Suites Dublin • Dublin, OH
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Queen Suite
- Bottle of Champagne
- Chocolates
The Destination
Columbus means business. Forbes rated it the country's number-one up-and-coming tech city in 2008, BusinessWeek named it among the 50 best cities in America in 2012, and MarketWatch listed it as one of the top ten best places to do business in the nation in 2008. But make no mistake: Ohio's capital city knows how to loosen a necktie, too. The Ohio State University—home to the third-largest student body in the nation—is at the center of the youthful fun, but the newly minted Arena District, considered among the region's most successful urban redevelopment projects, attracts a broader audience with restaurants, retail, and entertainment.
The Digs
Just beyond the borders of Columbus, the Sonesta ES Suites Dublin sits minutes from the Columbus Zoo and the university. In addition to 106 rooms, the hotel features a business center, complimentary high-speed Internet access, meeting rooms, a fitness center, a seasonal swimming pool and whirlpool, an outdoor recreational court, on-site laundry, and same day dry-cleaning. Each spacious suite is appointed with one queen-size bed and a pullout sofa, a full kitchen with a stove and dishwasher, satellite TV, and an ergonomic work desk. Some are even equipped with a fireplace. And just outside your door, you'll find a well-lit walking and biking path—the perfect start to your day.

Thanks, everyone! I really surprised myself with this. I guess I had myself convinced it would be too hard, but it was so easy (with the book). The book I bought with the instructions on this type of paper piecing, and the compass basics and patterns is Judy Mathiesons Mariners Compass Quilts: Setting a New Course. Its two of her quilts that my daughters saw and want for their rooms.
Izy, yes, I paper pieced, using freezer paper, and Judys slightly different way. Instead of sewing through the paper, you fold it back at the perforated line and sew against the edge of the paper. Its soooo easy.
Harmony, I absolutely LOOOOVE my new machine. Its a Husqvarna Sapphire 870 Quilt, with apparently the largest opening without moving into the actual quilting machine. It comes with 183? stitches, with umpteen feet, and a buttonholer that is one touch, all automatic, meaning you set the fabric, and the machine stops when the button hole is done. You dont do a thing. Thats a good thing cause I can sew clothes like theres no tomorrow, but cant do a button hole to save my life. :oops:
Im glad you all like my colours. I was really limited, as my stash is still quite tiny. My youngest has a better eye for colour, and had to help a bit.

Certified refurbished by Aabree Coffee, the Refurbished Gaggia Espresso Color Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine is an affordable and reliable alternative to purchasing a new machine.
Make a statement with the Gaggia Espresso Color! Housed in bright red ABS plastic, the Gaggia Espresso Color semi-automatic espresso machine is a stylish standout. It produces high-quality crema-topped espresso that's sure to please any discerning home barista, whether they're a beginner or an aficionado. The Color's internal mechanisms are just as well designed as its chic exterior – it houses a stainless steel boiler for brewing and steaming, and uses a chrome plated brass commercial style portafilter. Not to forget about milk-based drinks, the Gaggia Espresso Color offers a Pannarello wand for easy frothing and steaming. Its perfect blend of functionality and eye pleasing style makes the Gaggia Espresso Color a welcome addition to any modern home.
