We left the lovely seasıde cıty of Antayla and wound our way along the seasıde, over an ıncredıble wındy,twısty road. You can tell they never get snow here. Kas - pronouced - Cash - ıs a quaınt lıttle seasıde town. Looks lıke somethıng out of a movıe! Buılt onto the sıde of the clıffs that seem to be everywhere. In the lıttle harbour below our hotel we can see dozens of huge saılboats and tonıght at dınner ın the vıllage there were languages from everywhere. The Russıans and Germans and Brıts love thıs place, and who can blame them.
Tonıght, as we watched the sunset and then the moonrıse from the top floor of our hotel, the temperature ıs lovely
On the way here our 4 hour trıp was broken up by a stop to some accıent Roman not maybe they were Greek ruıns. Thıs 2000 year old port cıty was stıll very ınterestıng to walk through and remınded me of my trıp to Ostıa Antıca - outsıde Rome.
Tomorrow we are off on an all day boat cruıse of a couple of the many ıslands around here. Most are Greek - ıncludıng the one I am lookıng at rıght now. A strong swımmer could get there easıly. but you would have to pack your passport ın your swım trunks!
Well Ross ıs stıll yackıng and no one seems to want the computer rıght now, so perhaps I,ll try loadıng some more pıctures.

Feinstein Elementary School Cooks Up Success
Principal Christine Riley of Feinstein Elementary School in Providence, R.I., has a recipe for student success:
- Use large measures of data-driven instruction, research-based teaching practices and uninterrupted time for reading;
- Combine ingredients with high-quality teaching; and
- Heat with high expectations until 100-percent student proficiency is achieved.
It's a surefire plan that has led to impressive gains at the school over the past several years. Students at Feinstein-where 1 in 4 speaks English as a second language-have made big gains in reading and math proficiency on the New England Common Assessment Program (the standardized exam adopted by Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Vermont). Between 2005 and 2007, the percentage of students proficient in reading jumped from 29 to 50 percent, and the school saw even bigger increases in mathematics proficiency, from 14 to 42 percent. "We have refined how we work as a school, so we really have a true professional learning community in which everybody's efforts are focused on student achievement," says Riley.
Colleen Driscoll teaches a reading class for English language learners.
Second-grader Danny participates in the reading lesson.
Secretary Margaret Spellings meets Principal Christine Riley.
That includes honing common planning time into a laser-like focus on data that revealed gaps in student performance on state, district and school assessments. Called "grade-level support meetings," these weekly sessions involve teachers, instruction coaches and the principal following a goal-oriented cyclical process. Moving through several stages, they begin by examining student work and test scores, then identify instructional strategies and interventions needed, and finally evaluate progress toward desired goals. The collaboration, says Riley, has provided an opportunity for continuous teacher learning. "The primary work of teachers in not just to teach but also to grow professionally."
Named after philanthropist Alan Shawn Feinstein, who is said to have established the first-ever public high school with community service as its theme, the school serves a largely Hispanic population, many of whom have emigrated from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. Of the nearly 400 children enrolled, 90 percent qualify for subsidized meals, an indicator of the school's poverty level.
Also credited for change at Feinstein, which last year made the greatest achievement gains in the Providence Public School District, is a Reading First grant from the U.S. Department of Education, which provided funding for a full-time reading coach, materials, and training on scientifically proven methods of instruction. "It's not just something that someone threw on paper and decided that this is a fun activity to do," says teacher Colleen Driscoll, about the program's research-based strategies. "It has reasoning behind it. It has that rigor for the kids." Feinstein was part of the first cohort of schools in 2004 to receive the grant, which is designed to improve the literacy skills of disadvantaged students in grades K-3.
Parent Julie Mingoes was so impressed by how quickly and skillfully her son learned to read in kindergarten last year that she is now transferring her daughter to Feinstein to begin third grade there this fall. She says her son is always calling on her to read with him. "I'm just excited that he's excited. He can't wait to start first grade."

The Invo – tread technology without compromise. To meet the demands of the most refined automotive connoisseurs, we compromised nothing in performance or ride refinement to create an exclusive driving experience. Using state-of-the-art computer simulation programs and digital audio testing equipment, we designed a tread pattern that dampens perceived road noise, provides excellent ride comfort, and delivers thrilling handling in both dry and wet conditions. The result – a tread pattern that is unique and functional.
I've driven my car on just about every kind of surface with these tires on and they've never disappointed. When I went to Dallas to see my gf, it snowed a little bit and these tires performed just fine. I live in Galveston now and drive on the beach here and there and the tires take the sand like a champ. Dry and wet performance are amazing of course, but I feel that goes without saying for these tires. Not only are they good for spirited driving, but they're good for everyday driving under any conditions whatsoever, as long as you're careful and know what you're doing. Plus who doesn't love that tread design? Overall I love these tires and would more than likely get them again.

Prep Time 50 min
Total Time 50 min.
Step 1
Place broth in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat so the broth remains steaming, but is not simmering.
Step 2
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is very soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add rice and salt and stir to coat.
Step 3
Stir 1/2 cup of the hot broth and a generous splash of wine into the rice; reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid has been absorbed. Add more broth, 1/2 cup at a time along with some wine, stirring after each addition until most of the liquid has been absorbed. After about 10 minutes, stir in tomato paste. Continue to cook, adding broth and wine and stirring after each addition until most of the liquid is absorbed; the risotto is done when you've used all the broth and wine and the rice is creamy and just tender, 20 to 30 minutes more.
Step 4
Remove the risotto from the heat; stir in 3/4 cup cheese and pepper. Serve sprinkled with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese.

Can I leave it sealed up in the garage where its warm for a few days or should I take them out and open and close them?

UTSA engineering students design, build steel bridge
By Christi Fish
Public Affairs Specialist
(Feb. 11, 2009)--A group of UTSA undergraduate civil engineering students earned second place at the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Texas/Mexico Student Steel Bridge Competition, as well as first-place awards in two of the competition's six individual scoring categories. Co-sponsored by the American Institute of Steel Construction, the event was open to Texas- and Mexico-based members of ASCE student chapters. The 2008-2009 competition marks UTSA's 20th year of participation in the event.

Brad Banks, the team's student manager, says the team is "ecstatic" about its win and is looking forward to the final round of competition in Las Vegas. "Our team has worked very hard for this -- we've been working on the bridge since August," said Banks. "I'm hoping for a top-10 finish in Las Vegas, but no matter what, I'm excited that UTSA will be competing amongst the top engineering schools in the nation."
The national ASCE/AISC Steel Bridge Competition, an annual event attracting competitors from more than 100 colleges and universities across the country, tests each team's ability to design, build and test 1:10 scale bridges while emphasizing construction economy and maximizing bridge strength. Participants are the finalists from the regional competitions.
In both the regional and national ASCE/AISC steel bridge competitions, judges score teams on each bridge's construction speed, weight, deflection, economy, structural efficiency and overall presentation. Team member Trang Nguyen says the competition provides students with an opportunity to test their knowledge of structures, materials, and construction planning and management. Overall, she noted, "The competition is a good experience regardless of what field of engineering you plan to pursue, because it teaches you about working as a team to find solutions in engineering."
UTSA's 2008-2009 Steel Bridge Team includes 11 undergraduate students between the ages of 17 and 26 whose professional interests range from transportation to structural engineering.

Papagiannakis, professor and chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, at (210) 458-7071.

Acceleo is a pragmatic implementation of the Object Management Group (OMG) MOF Model to Text Language (MTL) standard. You do not need to be an expert to start using the plug-ins and create your first code generator : using the provided example projects and the powerful completion feature of the Acceleo editor, it is very easy to get started and understand the basic principles.
Acceleo is the result of several man-years of R&D started in the French company Obeo. Junction between the OMG MTL standard, its team's experience with industrial code generation and the latest research advances into the M2T field, it offers outstanding advantages : High ability to customize, Interoperability, Easy kick off, and much more!
The Acceleo project was born in 2006. Over the years, it steadily grew from its first stable release up to its 2.x versions. Yet, the team has been more and more convinced that the future of code generation lied in the OMG MTL specification, and that it was the way to go for the project.
The reference implementation we provide within the Eclipse M2T project, Acceleo 3, combines nice tooling, simple syntax and efficient code generation with all the pragmatism we had with the 2.x stream.
The Acceleo generation module Editor supports the user with most of the features you would expect from modern IDEs : content assist, quick outline, navigation links to the declaration of model elements, template elements and variables, quick fixes, refactoring, syntax highlighting, occurences highlighting... and so much more!
Read the documentation, join the discussion on the newsgroup, or get in touch with the team on Twitter or Google+.
The Eclipse Mars Modeling Package is the perfect package for modeling developers. Download it and install Acceleo and Sirius and you are ready to go to build a complete modeling workbench.

Getting tools into young hands early and often is the best way to develop DIY skills for kids. We asked pros who teach DIY to kids for their best advice for getting kids started with tools.
Real tools teach real responsibility. You can buy reasonably priced kid-size tools at home centers and online retailers, including amazon.com, red-toolbox.com and forsmallhands.com. Buy at least medium-quality tools. Cheap tools bend or break. The "Grip" nine-piece Children's Tool Kit shown here costs $35 and is available through our affiliation with amazon.com.
Though made for adults, the Skil iXO and Black & Decker L13100 cordless drivers are perfect for little hands. Prices start at about $30 at home centers and online.
A low-temp hot-glue gun is safer than higher-temp versions. The mini size is often called a "craft" glue gun and is perfect for smaller hands. Available at hobby shops, home centers and online retailers (about $7).
An eggbeater type of hand drill works easily without pinching little fingers. It works best when kids can drill into a piece of wood held in a vise. The Fiskars Craft Drill shown comes with four bits and costs $19 at amazon.com and forsmallhands.com.
A keyhole saw strengthens young kids' hands and is sized for better control. The Handy Saw Set shown comes with fine- and coarse-tooth blades and costs $7 at forsmallhands.com.
"There's a lost generation of children who have no practical hands-on skills. They may know how to operate an iPad at five but wouldn't know the first thing to do with pliers or a screwdriver."
Timothy Dahl, founder of builtbykids.com
To a kid who's not quite ready to drive nails, nothing feels better than whap, crackle and pop. Supply a kid-size hammer or a rubber mallet. (Hearing protection is a good idea here. This gets LOUD.)
Start some screws in a scrap of drywall and let the kids screw them in with a screwdriver or a kid-size cordless screwdriver. Drywall is a lot easier to screw into than wood.
Wrenches are great for beginning tool users. We sink different-size bolts into boards and then let children use wrenches to attach color-coordinated nuts.
Timothy Dahl
Clamp some foam core to a workbench and let kids saw it into strips. Foam core is easier to saw through than wood, and a keyhole saw is perfect for small hands. You can buy foam core at craft, art and office supply stores.
My 10-year-old son and husband were building a backyard fort together. I walked outside and I heard my son complain, "But Dad, if you don't let me do the hammering my way, nobody will know that a kid helped build it."
Elisa Bernick, Associate Editor
Start a bunch of roofing nails in a stump and let your young DIYers go to town. The kids will keep hammering until every last nail is flush. With their big heads and short shanks (the roofing nails, not the kids), they're easy to hit and hard to bend. And the end grain of a stump is easy to penetrate.
Kids are easily frustrated. Be careful not to go too fast. Let kids handle a tool, see how it works and feel a sense of accomplishment with it before moving on to another one.
Monkey with a Tool Belt and the Noisy Problem by Chris Monroe.
Chico Bon Bon the monkey uses special tools from his handy-dandy tool belt to fix a very large problem in the pipes. We LOVE this book!
Shop class used to be where many kids were introduced to DIY, but no more. There are some great regional programs and courses, however.
Check out:
The biggest challenges for experienced DIYers are time and patience. That's why pro carpenters have their children take my classes. It's very easy for an adult to take over and just do things for the child, but you have to let kids do everything they can do.
Joe Lichty, Kids' Carpentry instructor
You don't like a work surface that's too high, low or wobbly, and neither do kids. You can buy child-size workbenches from school supply catalogs, but they're expensive. You can also cut down an existing workbench, or you can easily make one yourself.
The workbench top should be at least 2 x 4 ft. and stand 24 in. high for preschoolers and 27 in. high for elementary-age kids. An easy way to stabilize it is to add a lower shelf and pile on some bricks.

1. Always wear safety glasses.
2. Tie up long hair.
3. Wear closed-toe shoes.
4. Clean up after each work period.
5. When using a saw, clamp the wood or secure it in a vise and have kids hold the saw with both hands or put one hand behind their back to prevent accidents.
"Put a screwdriver in your kid's hand and have them pull apart a broken gadget. If you want to make it more difficult, ask them to put it all back together just like it was."
Timothy Dahl
Taking apart a broken gadget like a fan or toaster is great for young minds and fingers. Kids get to unscrew things, learn how something is put together and have fun (cut off the cord for safety). If you don't happen to have anything broken lying around, you can buy small appliances cheaply at yard sales or thrift stores. Look for older versions. The newer appliances are mostly snap-together plastic.
Skip electronic devices, which might have potentially dangerous parts. Capacitors, for example, can hold voltage long after they're disconnected from a power source.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
You may also need a craft glue gun and child-size versions of standard hand tools.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

A group quarters is a place where people live or stay, in a group living arrangement, that is owned or managed by an entity or organization providing housing and/or services for the residents. These services may include custodial or medical care as well as other types of assistance, and residency is commonly restricted to those receiving these services. This is not a typical household-type living arrangement. People living in group quarters usually are not related to each other. Group quarters include such places as college residence halls, residential treatment centers, skilled nursing facilities, group homes, military barracks, correctional facilities, and workers dormitories.
Institutional Group Quarters
Includes facilities for people under formally authorized, supervised care or custody at the time of interview, such as correctional facilities, nursing facilities/skilled nursing facilities, in-patient hospice facilities, mental (psychiatric) hospitals, group homes for juveniles, and residential treatment centers for juveniles.
Noninstitutional Group Quarters
Includes facilities that are not classified as institutional group quarters, such as college/university housing, group homes intended for adults, residential treatment facilities for adults, workers group living quarters and Job Corps centers, and religious group quarters.

Gervinho believes that he is returning to his best form in time for the run-in to the season.
The Ivorian forward made his first league start since flying home from the Africa Cup of Nations in Saturday's 3-0 win against Aston Villa.
Now he says he is determined to reach his peak as Arsenal try to secure a top-three finish.
"I spoke to the coach when I came back [from the Africa Cup of Nations]," Gervinho told the Official Arsenal programme.
"He knew I was tired and I needed a bit of time to recover and to get back to my best. Now, I feel good again.
"I want to finish the season well and be a key part of the team in the last games of the season and help the team to finish in the top three."

Hodgson resigns from Nisswa council
Lenny Hodgson, a longtime Nisswa City Council member, has resigned his position after a total of nearly 20 years of service.
In another Nisswa City Council development, council members Tina Foster and Gary Johnson called a special city council meeting for Wednesday, Aug. 14, to consider allegations against an individual or individuals. That meeting, at the Ahlquist Law Office in Pequot Lakes, will be closed to the public.
Hodgson was last elected to the council in 2010, with a term to expire at the end of 2014. The city council is expected to address his resignation at its regular meeting Wednesday, Aug. 21.
In a resignation letter to the mayor, council members and city staff dated July 22, Hodgson wrote: "This letter is to inform you that effective immediately I will be resigning from my position on the Nisswa City Council. Although it goes against my nature to leave a job before it is finished, I really have no other choice in this matter and I thank all of you for respecting my decision. So ... for personal reasons I will be leaving. Thanks to all of you for what you do and for your service to the Nisswa community."
Hodgson was a council member from 1987-92, including two years as mayor, and from 1998-2008. He retired from city government before deciding to seek election again in 2010.
Hodgson's resignation came five days after the council's last regular meeting July 17, in which an agenda topic to discuss a draft job description for a city planner/city administrator position became heated and controversial among the council and some city staff.
Hodgson declined to comment about his resignation, beyond what his letter says.
Remaining council members declined to comment about the Aug. 14 special meeting and whether it is related to the July 17 meeting. City attorney Clyde Ahlquist said Johnson and Foster called the meeting, but declined further comment.
The special meeting notice reads, in part: "This meeting will be closed ... for preliminary consideration of allegations or charges against an individual or individuals subject to the public body's authority and/or for preliminary consideration of whether to terminate a city employee or employees."
Ahlquist said only council members will attend the closed meeting, not the individual or individuals in question.

In the Heart of Vancouver, Indoors and Out
Rosedale on Robson • Vancouver, Canada
Escape Kit
- A One-Night ($159) or Two-Night ($298) Stay for Two in a Deluxe Suite
- Daily Breakfast For Two
- Parking and Internet
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Six Nights
The Destination
Though Vancouver's total area spans less than 45 square miles, dozens of those miles are dedicated to hiking and biking trails that seem far removed from the urban core, from Stanley Park to the Strait of Georgia. But this coastal seaport is also one of the most densely populated metropolises in North America, serving as a cultural mecca with a vibrant arts scene, world-class restaurants, and cosmopolitan elegance. Still, this is the most laid-back city in an already laid-back country. It is, after all, the heart and soul of the Pacific Northwest.
The Digs
A gleaming glass-front hotel in the center of Vancouver's entertainment and sports districts, Rosedale on Robson gives guests prime access to the city. Boasting floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the skyline, your suite is outfitted with a king-size bed, a flat-screen TV, and a galley kitchen. On-site, you'll also find a heated indoor lap pool, a whirlpool, and a garden terrace.
The Diversions
Cool off with a beer at a pub in the nearby Gastown District, then grab a bite at Blue Water Café, boasting the largest selection of oysters in the city. This Yaletown restaurant just a few blocks from the hotel routinely tops best-of lists and serves only wild, sustainably sourced seafood. After dinner, catch an indie flick at the popular Vancity Theatre, or head to Rogers Arena for a Canucks game— both are just a few blocks from the hotel.
During the day, walk the 5.5-mile seawall path that circles the 1,000-acre Stanley Park. You'll encounter dense forest, lakes, and lagoons frequented by all manner of wildlife, as well as several monuments, including a collection of totem poles.
"We loved the comfortable and spacious suite, and the hotel was in easy walking distance of Yaletown restaurants and Chinatown. Wished we could have stayed longer here."-- Hotels.com

I have always used deep Mann Lake Plastic Frames for brood. I started with them because of the perceived small cell advantage - my thoughts at the time were small cell might or might not help but I'll take any edge I can; It couldn't do any harm, and they were cheap.
I noticed that they were, and still are, often sealed to the frames above and below. Michael Bush was gracious enough to explain that despite appropriate bee space between boxes they probably burred them together because they didn't see the top of the PF frame as a barrier like they do with a wooden frame - if I recall correctly - that the thickness of the wooden frames top bar helped stop them making contiguous vertical comb as they do with a PF.
I have got used to working them and I like them for brood, not so much for extracting but that's another story.
My main observation, and thought in starting this thread, is that the honey stored in a PF frame because of the thin (nearly non-existant) top bar extends almost to the very top of the hive, and that when the comb is empty bees can cluster in those empty cells at the top. I am wondering if this helps the cluster when compared to the traditional wooden frame with its thick wooden topbar? In a wild colony there is no topbar at the top of the broodnest just cells. Does the top of a cluster in a hive with PF's have an advantage in retaining heat? When compared to a wooden framed hive, the bees can pack together more closely at the top and have more points of contact with honey? Would this allow survival of a smaller cluster - all other things being equal?
I have about 430 Mann Lake PF deep frames in my hives now, and no plans to buy any wooden ones. I am curious if anyone is running colonies in both types of frames and has noticed any differences, or has any thoughts, about my above musings.

The children in this age group are generally school-going children and as a result they get a lot of opportunities in school to indulge in physical activity. As long as these physical activities are interleaved with fun and thrill children would enjoy these activities.

There are many reasons to dig this best-selling cleanser, but we'll limit ourselves to three: it dissolves dirt, clears up breakouts, and balances skin's natural pH. The daily wash is gentle enough for irritation-prone complexions, and rinses away completely. Oops, was that more than three reasons?

Reviews of this property
Isabelle's apartment is the perfect location to explore Paris. Very convenient located within walking distance from Gare du Nord and with great views on the Sacre Coeur. We found the place as described. It can be a bit loud in the streets on weekends but we still slept very well. Isabelle was very helpful and easy to communicate with. We recommend this place.
the flat was nice, awesome view and very close to the metro!!
Isabelle was very friendly and cooperative. Merci!
I spent a couple of days in Paris with my mom and my sister and stayed at Isabelle's flat. Isabelle was an amazing host; she was on time for check-in and check-out and had maps and recommendations in plenty for our stay!
The flat is in an amazing location at the foot of Sacre Coeur with two metro stations within 5 minutes walking distance. When I say at the foot of Sacre Coeur, I mean directly in front of it; in the fall and winter months you would be able to see the building from the balcony (we stayed in the summer and consequently the trees were in full bloom, blocking the view).
For anyone who wishes to stay in an excellent location for a great price this is the place to be!
Beautiful lokatie- lively area with many restaurants. Nice apartment, clean, comfortable beds. Complete kitchen. Parking nearby.
Mooie lokatie- levendige buurt met veel restaurantjes. Leuk appartement, schoon, fijne bedden. Complete keuken. Parkeergelegenheid in de buurt.
We had a beautiful located appartment near the Sacre Coeur. Everything was fine, we could also park our car nearby. We had a wonderful week, we recommend this appartment to everyone who want to visit Paris.
Very nice apartment and functional. Perfect location and very quiet despite being at the center of a lively area. To recommend.
Très joli appartement et fonctionnel. Très bien situé et très calme malgré qu'il soit au centre d'un quartier animé. A recommander.
Beautiful and perfectly located apartment, right on the Sacré Coeur! :) We stayed for three days with four adults in Apartment Isabelle and have felt very comfortable. Despite well-insulated windows, it was the first night very loud (café / bar nearby), but that one has in such a central location then just accept. ;)
Schöne und optimal gelegene Wohnung, direkt am Sacré Coeur! :) Wir waren für drei Tage mit vier Erwachsenen in Isabelles Apartment und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Trotz gut isolierter Fenster war es in der ersten Nacht sehr laut (Café/Bar in der Nähe), aber das muss man bei so einer zentralen Lage dann eben in Kauf nehmen. ;)
The apartment is very nice for the price, the location awesome. We would like to make here again holidays. The windows are very well insulated, so you will hardly bother with the windows closed from the lively environment. The double bed and the sofa bed are apparently new and we slept well. The owners / caretakers are very nice.
Das Appartement ist für den Preis sehr schön, die Lage genial. Wir würden hier immer wieder gerne Urlaub machen. Die Fenster sind sehr gut isoliert, so dass man bei geschlossenen Fenstern kaum von dem lebhaften Umfeld gestört wird. Das Doppelbett und das Schlafsofa sind anscheinend neu und wir haben bestens geschlafen. Die Vermieter/Betreuer sind sehr nett.
We have been this weekend in Paris Isabelle accommodation. Communication with her has been very good, always willing to help. The apartment is located in an exceptional site in front of the Sacre-Coeur in an area full of life and very close to the subway. The house is an old building, very French and the apartment, although it has no luxuries, has everything you need. Besides that Isabelle will provide bedding and towels is a point in his favor.
Hemos estado este fin de semana en París en el alojamiento de Isabelle. La comunicación con ella ha sido muy buena, siempre dispuesta a ayudarnos. El apartamento está situado en un sitio excepcional frente al Sacre-Coeur en una zona llena de vida y muy cerca de la parada del metro. La casa es un inmueble antiguo, muy francés y el apartamento, aunque no tiene lujos, tiene todo lo necesario. Además el que Isabelle te facilite la ropa de cama y las toallas es un punto a su favor.
A cute little apartment with a view of the Sacré Coeur. Friendly welcome; we might even be our last day to stay longer because there are no new guests were coming. One towel for three days some little; very complete kitchen, lovely beds. It's very quiet at night. Maybe the bathroom less suitable for older people because of the high exit from the bath. Excellent shower. Worth repeating.
Een schattig klein appartementje met uitzicht op de Sacré Coeur. Vriendelijke ontvangst; wij mochten zelfs onze laatste dag wat langer blijven omdat er geen nieuwe gasten zouden komen. Eén handdoek voor drie dagen wel wat weinig; keuken heel compleet, heerlijke bedden. Het is er heel stil 's nachts. Misschien is de badkamer iets minder geschikt voor oudere mensen ivm de hoge uitstap uit het bad. Prima douche. Voor herhaling vatbaar.

This guest post is by Charlotte Smith, Senior Curator, Public & Institutional Life, who is in Paris researching the John Twycross 1880 Melbourne International Exhibition Building Collection for an upcoming book. This collection comprises 175 exquisite decorative arts objects purchased by wealthy wool merchant John Twycross at the 1880 Melbourne International Exhibition.
Detail from the plan of the French Court at the 1880 Melbourne International Exhibition. Image: C. SmithSource: Museum Victoria
I thought my finds last Friday at the Archives Nationales de Paris were pretty impressive – floor plans of the French courts, showing where each exhibitor was located, with a key – but today things got even better. I uncovered a document titled Section des Beaux-Arts. Oeuvres vendues a Melbourne [translation: Fine Art Section. Artworks sold in Melbourne]. The document is a list of 47 artworks. It describes the artist, title of work, purchaser and purchase price. What is really exciting for my research is John Twycross is mentioned eight times!
A record of purchases from the French Court. Twycross is listed third from the top.Image: C. SmithSource: Museum Victoria
He spent £806, the equivalent to a little over $63,000 today. While we don't have these paintings in the Twycross Collection, knowing more of what John purchased at the exhibition is really exciting, and adds to our understanding of the scope of the collection he amassed at the 1880 Exhibition.
Accompanying documents describe how artworks could be purchased from the French Court; one had to go to the French Consulate office on Collins Street between 10 and 4 on weekdays, where a clerk was always 'ready to give the prices asked for such paintings by the artists'.

Town Square
Atherton Council: Please Ask Us!
Original post made by please ask, Atherton: other, on Dec 2, 2012
In the discussions that preceded the vote it was clear the coalition of Widmer-Dobbie-McKeithen (aka WMD) were desperate to ram this through as this was McKeithens last meeting. Apparently Council Members Lewis and Carlson in response to public and employee outcry were having second thoughts. They then voted "yes" for the measure which will enable them to bring it back for reconsideration at the next council meeting in December.
Kathy McKeithen went on to say in her remarks that the resolution was actually aimed at the APOA and the pending contract negotiations with them this spring. They were the "elephant in the room" and in a typical McKeithen technique were vilified in spite of a reassuring and conciliatory statement by the head of the APOA that they were eager to work with the town on a fair and equitable contract. He also cautioned that the resolution affected three of the Police Department right now. The Police Chief, Lieutenant and training officer are not part of the union and that was the reason the APOA was so concerned now. He also cautioned that the Council needed to be careful with town employees as well as sworn officers in the APD as they risked losing experienced and trained employees to other agencies if not competitive.
The theme is saving money by council representatives as they claim there is an unsustainable financial condition with unfunded pension liabilities, too generous medical benefits, and a compensation misalignment with other towns and, more importantly, the private sector. The financial assumptions they make are not absolutely clear or detailed. As several past Mayors and speakers pointed out and the need for emergency action was not warranted in the face of an improved tax base and other revenue.
It is worth noting the WMD coalition was responsible for the Library in the Park project and that turned out to be a systemic lack of understanding and unwillingness to listen to the Atherton residents. The characteristics of this resolution and the speed of bringing it to a vote without adequate and meaningful public input are the same as their library project. The same claim that it has been thoroughly studied for many months and adequately vetted is reminiscent of the council library vote in which the council commenced work in the Park. There were then clear signs then of resident displeasure that ended up being close to 70% of the voters.
What is at stake in reality is the Town Council setting policy that will impact the future of governance for years to come. It will affect the future of the Atherton Police Department, the Town Center project and future library building. It even might test the need to question the need to maintain a town government for services easily managed by the county government.
Atherton residents should be asked a number of important questions right now about what they want in the way of town services and whether they are willing to pay for them. As Mr. Janz pointed out by letter in the meeting the Parcel Tax was created at the time of Proposition 13 has remained the same level for all these years in spite of inflationary costs. It is time to ask if the residents would pay more to fund our government or accept the winnowing away at the quality and possible turnover of town employees. They should be asked if they want to outsource the police department or accept a reduction in services provided.
However this is done by survey or vote is unimportant but the important thing is for the Council to ask us. A full explanation of town finances both spending and revenue projections is required as well as the continued remedy and possible increase of the Parcel Tax is needed.
Please ask us!

You continue to ignore getting residents a better deal on existing services, Point out to residents that:
1. Atherton makes the cops' pension contribution portion to CalPers in addition to Atherton's. The cities the APOA claims cops will flock to if compensation is cut don't do this.
2. Should cops be guaranteed free health care for life for them and their families after just one day on the job?
3. Should cops retire at 50, or should the age go up like it just went up to 60 in Sunnyvale (where cops have a much more dangerous job)?
4. Should cops make more than 70% of the cities in SMC, each city having more violent crime and risk to cops than Atherton?
Tell residents that Wiest and Lewis and Carlson think it's important to answer all of these questions (and more) in the cops' favor to maintain "morale" and then AND ONLY THEN ask them how much they want to pay.
The question of how much more are you willing to pay presupposes the deal is the best we can get and the only knob left to turn is a parcel tax. This is highly misleading. Council members REPRESENT RESIDENTS, not employees, and making sure resident taxes are as low as possible is what they are sworn to uphold.

"However this is done by survey or vote is unimportant but the important thing is for the Council to ask us."
Actually HOW a survey is done and exactly which questions are asked is VERY important. A poorly designed survey instrument which is not properly administered will producing nothing but confusion. This is why the Town should participate in the national Citizen Survey which is extremely well validated and which would allow the Town to compare its results with those of more than 500 other communities that have used the same survey.
Letter: Challenge for council to take citizen survey
Whoever is elected to the Atherton City Council, now is the time for our five elected representatives to set a new direction and standard of governance. We no longer want or can afford 3-2 votes and a divided and an uncivil council.
Our five elected representatives should seek unanimity on every issue that comes before them and demand unanimity on the important issues.
A superb place to start would be for the council to unanimously vote to participate in the National Citizen Survey, which has been widely tested in communities around the nation. The survey is a low-cost service for local governments. Tested, flexible, affordable, and efficient, the NCS would allow Atherton to survey citizen opinion for program planning, budgeting, goal-setting and performance measurement.
The council would select from a set of standard questions to assess citizen opinion about basic services and community life. Additional customized questions allow the council to tailor the survey to our unique needs.
Our elected officials can use the results to set spending priorities. The town manager can use the results to measure progress and chart future steps. Staff can use the results to improve service delivery.
The survey program includes three mailings to 1,200 randomly selected households, which include the pre-survey postcard and two mailings of the survey instrument. The margin of error (95 percent confidence interval) is low, no more than plus or minus five percent.
I am so convinced of the need for a new approach to our town governance that I will personally pay for the cost of participation in the National Citizens' Survey provided such participation is approved unanimously by our new City Council.

Questions -- you wrote-
"Council members REPRESENT RESIDENTS, not employees, and making sure resident taxes are as low as possible is what they are sworn to uphold."
That has not been the case. In the last decade the Council increased Taxes three time and had to issue refunds, because Tax increases have to be voted on by the residents.
What oath did those council members violate?
I do think Council Members can not "Misuse Public Funds" by law and can not use public funds for campaign reasons.

Saviello and a few other Republican lawmakers, dubbed "moderates," joined with — it almost goes without saying — a good number of Democrats to make up a surprising environmentalist majority in the 125th Legislature, which recently ended regular business.
Surprising because when Republican Governor Paul LePage swept into office almost a year and a half ago shoulder-to-shoulder with Republican majorities in the House and Senate, "out-of-state corporate interests" saw their opportunity to gut the environmental laws, says Peter Didisheim, the Natural Resources Council of Maine (NRCM) chief lobbyist.
These corporations and many in-state business interests rushed to Augusta with scores of proposals ranging from eviscerating the bottle-return and shoreland-zoning laws to reversing the state's commitment to lessen toxic chemicals in the marketplace.
In the Legislature's first session, environmentalists and their legislative allies, armed with an NRCM poll showing 9 out of 10 Mainers believe environmental protection should be a priority, saw their first victories, defeating or postponing for consideration most of the environmental rollbacks.
This year's session, too, "ended much better than we thought it would," Didisheim says. The "worst threats" were defeated — such as a measure to abolish the Land Use Regulation Commission (LURC), which Didisheim believes would have meant "the end of the North Woods as we know it."
As "mainstream business leaders," Didisheim says, turned against many Republican proposals, so did some key Republican legislators. Although a legislative majority wound up supporting the environmental laws, the numbers were "very close," he adds.
The moderates didn't stop some things, such as a weakening of the mining laws meant to benefit a Canadian corporation. Still, they made the difference on several big environmental issues, with Saviello, from Wilton, chairman of the Environment and Natural Resources Committee, leading the way.
For Saviello, it was rehabilitation. Seven years ago, as an independent state rep, he allegedly had improper dealings with Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) commissioner Dawn Gallagher over Androscoggin River water-pollution regulations affecting International Paper's big mill in Jay.
He was then both the mill's environmental manager and a member of the Natural Resources Committee. The scandal saw Gallagher resigning and Saviello relinquishing his committee seat.
When the GOP gained power and he became committee chairman, Saviello says he knew environmental groups distrusted him: "It was like, 'You got to watch him.'" But now, he says, the environmentalists may have concluded, "He wasn't as bad as we thought he was going to be."
Indeed, Didisheim says Saviello has redeemed himself. He was "a leader on environmental issues the past two years," adding that he's a hard worker interested in facts, not anecdotes.
Saviello's clout is reinforced by his decades studying and working on environmental issues. Now retired, he has a PhD from the University of Maine in forest resources.
Even though the issue didn't come before his committee, behind the scenes Saviello was active in negotiations over the proposal to abolish LURC, which would have given the commission's power to regulate development in the 10 million acres of the North Woods to the county governments.

Brendan DeMelle | October 26, 2009
By Brendan DeMelle • Monday, October 26, 2009 - 12:41
In a massive blow to the climate skeptic movement, the Associated Press has conducted a blind test of statisticians that unequivocally confirms that no global cooling trend exists.
Despite the best efforts of a small handful of climate skeptics, who argue that the globe has cooled rather than warmed since the record hot year of 1998, no such cooling trend has taken place.
The Associated Press conducted the blind test by sending global temperature data from NOAA and NASA to four independent statisticians who were not told what the data represented, but simply asked to perform a common statistical analysis to look for trends in the data.
The statisticians "found no true temperature declines over time," and in fact identified "a distinct decades-long upward trend in the numbers," the AP reports.
Several statisticians quoted in the AP piece slam the climate skeptics who "cherry-pick" data in a "particularly suspect" attempt to denounce global warming. Efforts to portray a global cooling trend since the record hot year of 1998 are "not scientifically legitimate," and are the result of "people coming at the data with preconceived notions," according to David Peterson, a retired Duke University statistics professor who analyzed the data for AP.
"To talk about global cooling at the end of the hottest decade the planet has experienced in many thousands of years is ridiculous," said Ken Caldeira, a climate scientist at the Carnegie Institution at Stanford.
"Ridiculous" indeed, but that has not stopped the handful of loud-mouthed climate skeptics from spreading this false claim. Their efforts have proven successful at confusing the public, thanks in large part to the Drudge Report, FOX News and lazy journalists who fail to fact-check the skeptic arguments, providing oxygen to their baseless claims.
The Associated Press conducted a simple exercise that any self-respecting news outlet concerned with the facts rather than the confusionist spin could duplicate easily. Don't expect this news to silence the skeptics, but if you are a journalist, please let the skeptics talk amongst themselves, rather than polluting the public discourse any further. And if you are a concerned news consumer, please do hold accountable any news outlet that continues to ignore this starkly obvious fact: there is no global cooling. There definitely is global warming.
It really is that simple. Now can we talk about the critically important matter of how to address climate change with just a few weeks left until the Copenhagen Climate Summit?
jeffm2009 replied on Permalink
Phew, finally this is confirmed! It's a little absurd how people, even scientists, are allowed to make such significant claims without showing scientifically significant evidence to back up their claims. Of course, the damage is done and I'm sure it would take more than a report like this to convince the true believers of global cooling. This whole topic gets me pretty worked up. I have half a mind to go over to my local catalog printer and have some pamphlets printed up so that I could spread the word about the truth of global warming in my city. Hopefully that will help.

Blind Test
I like how they didn't tell them what the data was – just asked them to look for the trend. That truly is how statistics work.
Richard Steckis replied on Permalink
Common Statistical Test?
You say:
"The Associated Press conducted the blind test by sending global temperature data from NOAA and NASA to four independent statisticians who were not told what the data represented, but simply asked to perform a common statistical analysis to look for trends in the data."
A common statistical test? Doh…. That would be a linear regression. They were NOT asked to explore the data (which is a severe NO NO in statistical analysis of any data set). So the answer was bound to come out they way the AP WANTED it to.
I have outlined in another post on this site that the data are not that straightforward. I have found structural changes in the data set whereby choosing 1998 as a start point is not cherry picking but a legitimate start point based on a more exploratory analysis of the data. An analysis that the four "independent" statisticians were not asked to do. In fact I am certain that they were not asked to review the data as a time series analysis with full autocorrelation and structural change analysis.
RickJames replied on Permalink
So you're saying the AP and
So you're saying the AP and Seth Borenstein wanted a "kill the cooling" story so they fed the winning numbers to some statisticians.
Well I guess so, but I still say it doesn't matter. Nothing spectacular is happening in climate up or down right now. We just have to wait.
Richard Steckis replied on Permalink
No they got the right data
No, they got the right data but not the right context. Such a blind test is basically rubbish. In fact, I don't really think it was a true blind test as later in the press release they have the statisticians speaking of the data in it's real context of temperature data viz a viz:
"Saying there's a downward trend since 1998 is not scientifically legitimate, said David Peterson, a retired Duke University statistics professor and one of those analyzing the numbers.
Identifying a downward trend is a case of "people coming at the data with preconceived notions," said Peterson, author of the book "Why Did They Do That? An Introduction to Forensic Decision Analysis."
Well David Peterson is wrong. He obviously did a very sloppy job of exploring the data. He also must have known that the data were long term surface temperature data.
But I understand what you are saying. Seth Borenstein is trying to kill the cooling hypothesis by instituting a scientifically invalid test.
Remember the Pepsi Challenge?
The participants found out what they were tasting AFTER they had made a choice. I suspect Peterson was commenting AFTER the blind test was over.
I love how you guys all claim global cooling by cherry-picking around 1998, and then cry "foul" when someone who knows statistics does it right. Raw temperature data was given to statisticians unconnected with NOAA or NASA, and they found no downward trend. It could have been gas prices or crop production or (alas!) my weight – but it was temperature. Get over it.
Heh. New weight-loss plan:

RickJames replied on Permalink
okay, but what raw
okay, but what raw temperature data?
It seems a little general. Was it all number sets combined into an average or was it a specific number set or sets sourced specifically to get a favorable outcome?
My main point is - this is not news - unless data sets that previously showed cooling due to advocate statisticians(McIntyre for example) are now showing warming under neutral analysis.
Call me crazy, but my suspicion is that AP (Borenstein) wanted a certain result and provided number sets that would bring that about.
Dennis W. replied on Permalink
Source Data
To answer your question "what raw temperature data?" here is an exerpt from the AP story:
The AP sent expert statisticians NOAA's year-to-year ground temperature changes over 130 years and the 30 years of satellite-measured temperatures preferred by skeptics and gathered by scientists at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
I would like to see an actual published study by the scientists involved. There is no link to research methology, etc. Without that, this is just a news story.
If you read the entire article
at the link embedded in the post, you will see that the stats used INCLUDED the 30 years of satellite data usually cited by deniers as support for cooling. As for whether the statisticians have published their results, maybe they should, but I suspect they have other things keeping them busy. In any case, there is nothing in the scientific journals that supports a cooling trend - no case to answer.

I have an idea
Let's give your "independent"(what a joke) statisticians a set of Richard's Lindzens data. I wonder if they are going to arrive at the same answer Femack? It should be called Not Evil Just Dumb. Femack do you realize there have been reports since the early 1900s about the Great Lakes dissappearing and glaciers melting. None of this is new, hurricanes occurred before the industrial revolution…nobody is going to sign legislation in the name of climate because it makes no sense.
Lindzen doesn't produce data,
Lindzen doesn't produce data, he just cherrypicks other people's data. http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/2006/05/richard_lindzen_claims_global.php
Lindzen's data?
Lindzen uses one of the four datasets that everybody else also use, and which all show essentially the same. Note that the statisticians even looked at the UAH data, the one that shows the least warming (but only marginally lower than e.g. HADCRU).
Lindzen's uses the 'data' to model (oh, *gasp*, a model!) what he believes describes atmospheric processes. It's interesting to note that certain people so gladly follow this man and his model, and tramp on all those other models that they claim can "never" be a good representation, because we know so little…the irony is baffling.
Sigh . . .
You're right – none of this is new. The industrial revolution began in the late 18th century and Arrhenius calculated the impact of increased CO2 concentrations in 1896.
shooshmon replied on Permalink
this is such a joke
This article, however, (which is not a true independent assessment if the study was completed by NOAA scientists) is not based on the much more robust metric assessment of global warming as diagnosed by upper ocean heat content. Nor does it consider the warm bias issues with respect to surface land temperatures that we have raised in our peer reviewed papers; e.g. see and see.
O whoops, guess Seth blew it again.
Failure of reading
Failure of reading comprehension. The study was done by independent statisticians.

"…Levitt is trying to roll it back to rescue some respectability, but, of course, the damage is being done both by the book, and it's reception. In this blogs are playing an important roll. It is important to a) keep it up and b) realize that this has been effective on at least a personal level with Levitt.

"significant oversight" - well you had to know there would be objections.
RalphNader replied on Permalink
This almost made me laugh off of my seat. Some one asked statisticians for their opinion? Why not just ask them to do the calculation? This looks like pure manipulation. Anyone can calulate a simple moving average. This is a good cover story but I doubt anyone will be fooled.
The fact remains a simple moving average from 1998 to present shows a cooling trend. For global warming to remain legitemate we need to see constant warming. Otherwise it may be time to relook the positive feeback loop that is supposed to create constant and accelerated warming.
Looks like global cooling is still a threat.
Maybe we can get somebody with a lot of credibility to say that he looked at the moving average and it looked like it was going up not down? Maybe Leonardo dicapprio at the very least that would help to win over the teenage girls.
RickJames replied on Permalink
maybe 98 was such an outlier
maybe 98 was such an outlier that it doesn't count that much - -that's what I figure
They DID ask the statisticians to do the calculation! Hence their dismissal of using one very particular point as the starting point. Yes, you can cherry-pick yourself to a negative slope by choosing 1998 (in some data sets), but because choosing 1997 or 1999 as starting point results in a positive slope, it would be data manipulation to focus on 1998. That's what the people who know about statistics and data fitting say. And in comes the lay man "RalphNader", and he does exactly what the statisticians say would be unscientific.
Oh, and no climate scientist claims there should be constant and accelerated warming. That's the mockery that the deniosphere has made out of climate science. Several models(!) expressly show flat/cooling periods on the decadal scale, such as those of Mojib Latif. Unfortunately for you, they also show VERY rapid warming in other decadal periods.

I would say that going from a sous chef, to his present business sucess in the last 15 yrs counts as at least equivalent to a bachelors degree. Then again, they are not looking for another Jamie Oliver but a Business Development Manager.
