The apartment is well situated and decorated as described. We were welcomed by Samy, who very quickly came again when we telephoned for kitchen cloths. The only complaint we had was the cleaning standard which we pointed out right away to both Samy and the Wimdu-support team (together with pictures within 24 hours): The floor was not vacuumed only wiped over with a wet cloth, toilet inside not cleaned, hair in the sink, breadcrumbs on kitchen table, bathroom door impossible to close unless with a determined mind, fingerprints and dust everywhere.
We didn't ask/expect for any compensation, just wanted to inform the landlord Benjamin about the cleaning-standard.
The Wimdu-team answered after 2 weeks that they already had paid Benjamin and we can see that Benjamin is "je ne suis pas content de cette cliente".
Uhh, what did we do wrong?
Still a nice apartment :-)
We stayed at Benjamin & Christine's very nice apartment near Canal Saint Martin last december 5-7. We enjoyed it very much. Upon arrival we were greeted by Samy, who showed us around and was very kind. The apartment itself was modern, clean and had everything we needed. For groceries, supermarket Lidl was a few steps away and on saturday we spotted a fresh produce market across the street. The hip & happening Canal Saint Martin area was round the corner and the metro Colonel Fabien nearby. All in all: a great place to stay and we would love to come back.
This apartment looks as nice as it does on the pictures and it's also very complete (hairdryer, washing- and drying machine, vaccuum cleaner and so on). However, I feel fooled by the owner.
I specifically booked this apartment because of its available and safe parking space. I also emailed the owner about this, but he didn't respond to that. When we arrived by car, Samy was not there yet so we had to drive in circles till his arrival. He told us that they lost their parking spot and that we could park for 2 days in front of the apartment, which is in a very busy street. After handing over the keys, Samy told us that we didn't have to pay a 100 euro deposit because of the parking spot, which was a nice gesture. Later that day we discovered that the parking space in front of the apartment, was only available for 2 hours instead of two days. It would have been impossible to move the car every 2 hours, since I was planning to enjoy the city, so fooled again.
In addition, the apartment wasn't very clean. There were breadcrumbs on the kitchen counter, the crockery and cutlery was greasy and dirty and the toilet could have been cleaner too.
To sum up: the apartment itself looks very nice and I would recommend this to everybody if it would have been cleaner. However, it is unfair to lure your guests with a non existing parking space, so I do not have a good feeling about my short stay here.
The apartment is situated in a great area. The city centre can be reached within a short time and with line 2 you can reach some of the famous sights without changing trains.
The apartment was neat. We had a great welcome. No problems with handing over the keys.
We would go there again - any time.
The location is excellent, the apartment was "chic". The service by Sam was friendly. And the beds were good. I can recommend this apartment honestly !
Nice apartment, the space was very well used. Good kitchen, clean and pleasant and helpful host. Quiet apartment at the back of a building.
We had a great time in Paris and enjoyed the little studio in Belleville. Best things during the week was the market just outside the door (Fridays and Saturdays). Nice to see a part of the town that you normally would miss. A lot of action on bvd de Belleville, two minutes from the studio. The apartment was a little small for three persons but it was OK. Every square cm is used in a maximizing way. Hard to get any privacy in the bathroom... Good kitchen, OK beds, well equipped. We walked to the inner city every day, only 3km away. Don't miss the brilliant parks and pere-lachaise in the neighborhood!
The accommodation was very good. The room was clean and the service (check-in) was very good. If you have any questions you can ask Samy :) The accommodation is located between 2 train stations. You only have to walk about 200 meters. On Saturday there is a beautiful market infront of the building. Supermarket and backery are only a few steps away :). It was a very nice trip to Paris. We recommend these nice accommodation without any restrictions. :)

Violence Against Women Linked to HIV Risk
December 17, 2010
A recent study finds 78 percent of HIV-positive women in four Latin American countries report some type of physical or psychological abuse from a loved one. By the time they became infected, many of the women already had a long history of abuse and gender violence that made them more vulnerable, according to "Two Sides of One Reality: Violence Against Women and HIV/AIDS in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay."
Researchers interviewed 399 HIV-positive women for the study. Seventy percent said they had endured psychological abuse, and 55.6 percent reported physical violence. Perpetrators included parents, stepparents, caretakers, and boyfriends or husbands.
Approximately 60 percent of the women said they had seen their mothers suffer from domestic violence, only to face similar abuse themselves.
"The family, supposed shelter for one's affective world, does not seem to be the safest environment for many of these women," said physician Mabel Bianco and sociologist Andrea Mariño, the study's leaders. "There is a 'naturalization' of violence in the lives of many of these women from childhood. They don't register that this isn't normal, that it is a crime."
Many of the women said they were surprised when told they were HIV-positive: They did not consider themselves to be part of a high-risk group, since they were in stable, heterosexual relationships. "I thought this could never happen to me," said one participant.
"The women who suffered violence over the course of their lives are more vulnerable to HIV infection because, in general, they lose autonomy, self-esteem, and also the power to negotiate the use of condoms," said Mariño.

Zebra mussel, aquatic invasive species inspections done in Outing, Emily
Bill Schaefer, a DNR Level 1 inspector, inspected boats prior to their launch at the Lawrence Lake boat launch on Memorial Day weekend. By educating the public, as well as by inspecting watercraft, the growing effort is to prevent further spread of damaging invasive animals and plants.
Each zebra mussel (ZM) can filter a liter of water each day; an adult female can produce one million offspring in a season, which grow to adult in about a year. They can each live for more than five years.
ZMs are able to cling to surfaces (unlike native mussels) and thus can transport between waters of the nation. Many large lakes are infested, which means major concerns for the rest of the state.
Schaefer is one of the seasonal employees of Crooked Lake Township (CLT), hired through Employee Resource Center of Brainerd, and paid by a combination of DNR funding, CLT funds and the monies of the respective lake associations. The city of Emily is also engaged in a similar DNR grant effort.
More help is needed and openings exist for paid and volunteer support. To explore summer employment, contact Chad at ercstaffing.com or call 218-824-9675.
For local lake associations, contact either leadership, Ed Evans in CLT or Art Patterson in Emily for more details.

UTSA Satellite Space presents M.F.A. exhibitions
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(April 1, 2009)--The UTSA Department of Art and Art History and the UTSA Satellite Space will host two exhibitions of master-of-fine-arts thesis projects in April. The exhibits, "Among the Takers" by Scott Oldfield and "Penance" by Willie Sanchez, run April 3-19 in the UTSA Satellite Space, Blue Star Arts Complex Suite 114, at S. Alamo and Probandt streets. The shows are free and open to the public.

Article tools
>> An opening reception, free and open to the public, is 6-9 p.m., Thursday, April 2. The gallery also will be open 6-9 p.m., April 3 for First Friday, the monthly art gallery open house in the Southtown district. Regular gallery hours are noon-6 p.m., Friday-Sunday, or by appointment.
In "Among the Takers," Oldfield's new sculptures explore the complex relationships between the animal world and human exploration. Investigating the processes of genetics and evolution, he uses mixed materials and fabricated steel to develop figures at odds within the synthetic world created by human nature. The pieces develop a dialogue between primitive and modern technologies and examine the relationship of those bound to the will of the takers.
In Sanchez's new works in "Penance," he focuses on primitive images and the purification that comes from the repetitive, brutish nature of their creation. He creates drawings and sculptures from tar, motor oil, ink, concrete, housing insulation, plaster and other materials to create totems to protect the viewer from the metaphysical. The totems reintroduce a sense of magic to the modern world and a mythical reality rooted in primitive imagery.
For an appointment, private showing or more information, contact Connie Swann, Department of Art and Art History, at (210) 458-4391, or call the gallery at (210) 212-7146.

Arriving by train is convenient. And, the train trip is beautiful, because it goes through the deepest cleft valley in Switzerland. Left and right are the highest mountains in Switzerland, including the Täschhorn, Dom and Weisshorn.
- Change to the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn for Zermatt in Visp
- Departures every half hour
- Narrow-gauge and cog railway from Visp to Zermatt
- Train climbs almost 1,000 m from Visp to Zermatt
- Arrival on the Glacier Express from St. Moritz, Davos and Chur

We had a great time in Sevilla! The city is wonderfull, sunny, full of life and with many things to do and see.
The appartement is located very well, you can walk to the centre and in Macarena
it is very nice staying too...
The landlord, Germàn, gave us a warm welcome and was very helpfull with finding a parking place.
We enjoyed our stay and we can certainly recommand thuis appartement!
We loved this apartment! It was spacious, very clean and check in process was smooth and friendly! The big surprise was this apartment's amazing location! We were steps away from the bridge (foot friendly) which lead right into the historic city center. We loved that this apartment was in the Triana district, famous for beautiful, affordable pottery....I highly recommend the large pottery store which you can see from the balcony of the living room. Yougurt shop directly underneath apartment was great for our kids each night. Recycle stations were super close which we appreciated! There is a lovely market to the left with delicious croissants and lots of fresh fruit....little advice for Americans who are used to pinching the fruit...don't do it here....just admire the display and let the shopkeeper choose the fruit for you from behind the counter. We got snapped at : ) Be advised to bring your OWN shampoo, soap, blowdryer. This was probably the only downside. We traveled by air, so we weren't carrying shampoos, etc and had to buy low quality supplies at the dime store. Otherwise perfect stay!
Thank you for the fantastic apartment in the wonderful city of Seville!
Those looking for a place to relax for a day or two on a hectic tour of the region, will love this place. An amazing place with very friendly hosts. Don't miss out on the best Sangria ever made at the local pub just around the corner!
Terrible value for money, even discounted. The apartment itself is ok, the marble floor is kind of fun, but it's not very comfy and it lacks plenty of little things that make a place homely (no internet, no coffee machine, no kettle...). It is a lot smaller than indicated, that is the 145 square metres include the terrace, which has a nice view but is quite windy. It is indeed well located, the neighbourhood is very charming and it's directly opposite the Casa Cuesta, a fantastic place to eat in the evening.
The service is absolutely terrible, after having anounced our arrival time 2 days in advance, we called an hour earlier while on the road and got told we would have to wait an hour because the host couldn't make it to the apartment in time. We had our 4-month old baby with us so it was pretty much out of the question. Fortunately the cleaning lady could wait for us in the apartment and give us a key. Thumbs up for the cleaning lady, she was very nice and helpful!
So we never met our host, which might have been for the best as I was quite pissed of.
Big and quiet apartment, so close to the city center.
Great place to stay in Sevilla and a lovely host (Eva). The roof terrace is a nice extra asset. Lots of great local bars and restaurants in the area. Definitely recommended.
Great location. Small, but perfectly formed and well equipped. Quiet despite central location. Terrace made all the difference.
El propietario es encantador, todo son facilidades y no puso pegas ni en la hora de entrada, ni de salida. El piso estaba muy limpio. Para nosotros que íbamos a la Feria perfectamente situado a 15 minutos a pie del Real.
Nice appartment as discribed, at the 8th floor of the building, with a small balkony at street side. The kitchen is complete with all necessarry items. The nearest metro station is at 10 min walking distance. When doing buisness with the contact person miss Mati, it helps to speak Spanish, because she doesn't speak another language. But it works using hands and feet. Several small shops in the street and a big supermarket around the corner. You can enjoy tapas downstairs at a small pastry bar.Furthermore the location in a non tourist area of Sevilla, close to a highway. So, by car you're quickly out of the city, to explore the surroundings. And you can also blend in with the Sevillians.

LOS ANGELES — Blake Mycoskie, founder of the Toms shoe brand, has donated 100% of the proceeds from his bestselling book "Start Something That Matters."
Mycoskie has established the Start Something That Matters Foundation with the book's proceeds, approximately $300,000, to benefit social entrepreneurs and students around the world. The first three recipient organizations of the new fund are the Dell Social Innovation Challenge, Echoing Green and GOOD.is.
"I started Toms with no shoe or fashion experience, no retail experience and basically five thousand dollars," said Mycoskie. "I've created this foundation to help those who have amazing ideas that will ultimately make a positive impact on the world. I know how important it is that a great idea or strong business plan receives financial support."
Mycoskie released his first book September 2011 and in it chronicles the story behind the business model that matches social good with sales. In addition to sharing stories from other leading social entrepreneurs, Mycoskie offered readers a new way of thinking about success, defined by work that fulfills hunger for material accomplishment, philanthropic impact and personal meaning.
The first three recipients were chosen because their own business models reflect closely what Mycoskie details in his book. The Dell Social Innovation Challenge identifies and supports young social innovators who dedicate themselves to solving the world's most pressing problems with transformative ideas. Echoing Green has invested more than $31 million in seed funding 540 social entrepreneurs and their innovative organizations across the globe. GOOD is a global community of, by, and for pragmatic idealists working toward individual and collective progress. This community shares its ideas through several mediums, including GOOD.is, the platform for collaboration among members of the GOOD community and the organizations and corporations that work with the GOOD community.

Iraqi cybercrime bill is the worst kind
After the rash of political revolutions and criminal attacks on governments and companies last year, it wasn't hard to predict that 2012 would be the year of a cybercrime crackdown. The United States is considering its own cybercrime legislation, and the European Union is seeking to harmonize its member state's computer crime laws. Governments understandably want to prevent further online attacks. Journalists suffer these attacks also, but they don't necessarily gain from fiercer laws. And in the case of a proposed new cybercrime law in Iraq, they may face life imprisonment for simply doing their job.

QNSue ... while I know you understand your BF being with her DD, I know you were looking forward to the mini-getaway. Grouchy Ladybug ... I don't think I'd want her! I'd be feeling all buggy!!!! Maybe Anael wants her for her DGS and his fantasy with the bugs?
Honchey ... Those photos make me smile!!!!! What a Grand Grandma you are and how many good memories you are instilling in them. Did your DH come thru with their Dunkin' Donuts? How old are the boys? For some reason, I was thinking they were much younger? And what else do you have planned for them today?
GGal ... oh how disappointing! Is it evil to HOPE that these foxes get poison ivied? The sad part is that there are townies who will be saying "save the foxes", will be feeding them in their yards ... and not considering the negatives of encouraging them. You can send your binding to me ... I don't mind doing it and actually find it quite relaxing. I just get onto the couch, have all the things I need within reach (needle, thread, scissors, hair clips for "pinning" the binding as I stitch and tea!) and turn on the TV with some nice music or a mindless show and go at it. By the time I get it that far, I am anxious to see it all finished. The binding makes it SO complete. Looks like you have been making good use of your new machine with lots of great projects almost done ... and more in the works too! You definitely need to go on that Shop Hop and get more!!!
MiraB ... missing you!!! and hoping that you'll come back to play with us again, soon! {{{{HUGS}}}}
Moi? ... have all the straight stitching done on the 3 Out to Pastures last night. Then made 2 placemat tops out of yet more of the leftovers ... they can give me some practice runs before I go at the rest of OTP. I love my new machine ... not so much the learning curve!!!! Now if only there was a magic wand to make the transitions instantaneous! Hey, a girl's gotta dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only game we got outplayed was Cincy. All the rest we had a great shot at winning. First Cowboys game we could not block, played horrible and still only lost by a TD. Eagles game we should of won if we didnt go deep in the redzone and just kicked the FG. Steelers game we were up 10 in the 4th. Last Redskins game we get run happy and forgot that the Redskins are horrible defending the pass and lose by a point.
We are consistantly inconsistant. Then the games we won, TB and Washington in shootouts we easily could of lost as well. Dallas we should of lost if Dez hands were smaller. Yet we destroy the 49ers and Packers.

The Destination
The most storied civilizations sprung up along river valleys, and New York's Finger Lakes region is just as paradisiacal. Carved into the state in near parallel fashion thousands of years ago, the iconic waterways are part lake, part river in their placid, narrow constitutions. The confluence of fresh northern air and dewy banks creates the perfect climate for winemaking—as a result, the area has come to produce some of the best varietals in the nation. Add to the natural charm breathtaking Victorians and quaint waterfront towns and you've got a scene ripped right from a storybook.
The Digs
FingerLakesBnB.com offers a choice of three delightful lodgings in the Finger Lakes. Fireplaces and Federal-style mantles hold court with modern amenities like cable TV and complimentary high-speed Internet access in the 200-year-old Abner Adams House.
Those with an extra-refined palate can opt for the Barrister's Bed and Breakfast where the hearty breakfast easily caters to vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free diets. Ranked the top Seneca Falls B&B/inn on TripAdvisor, this property boasts amenities that include a beverage center and a guest refrigerator to keep your chardonnay cool.
Nearby, Los Gatos Bed & Breakfast gets back to basics year round with a main house where no two rooms share a wall. Come spring, you can add two secluded log-cabins to the mix. Both lodgings at Los Gatos offer homemade jam, syrup, and bread in the morning.
The Diversions
• Visit any of hundreds of vineyards on the Seneca Lake, Cayuga, and Keuka Lake wine trails
• Hike the wooded trails and visit a breathtaking waterfall, or go antiquing in a nearby wine town
• Savor the flavor of homemade cheese along the Cheese Trail
The region is one of mesmerizing beauty, like a dream marriage of Scotland and Napa Valley. The lakes have created unique conditions and microclimates that are ideal for grape growing... This is one of the most notable winemaking regions in the country."-- Frommer's

On top of being local kids, most of the Rutgers players worth looking at, are positons of need, so i think we'll be looking at a heap of em before said and done.. Greene, Jefferson, Jamison, Harrison(we might lose Hix and Barden)..etc
I also heard that another sleeper of mind Rod Sweeting CB Ga Tech looked good as well yeseterday...
Walt Footballs day 2 Report has Demontre Hurst and Terry Hawthorne as big time players for today... Hurst was real good, i guess... Willliam Campbell DT Michigan had a brilliant day, and Blaize Foltz G TCU had one of the better days for Olineman.. Foltz is one of my fave mid rd lineman...
Sources told walterfootball, whos at the shrine game practices, that NEW ORLEANS SAINTS have taking a big liking to Blaize Foltz G TCU..
Christine Michael RB A&M is another guy getting big time reviews so far early on this wk for Shrine Game.. Heres a list of guys i get the feeling are having biggest wk's so far, judged on diffrent reports i'm reading..
Jasper Collins WR Mt.Union- Hes gonna get drafted in mid rds, because hes doing so well at shrine game, adn the success of Shorts and Garcon ahead of him.. Hes been great so far this wk at shrine practices
Christine Michael RB A&M- He looks great so far, from what i gather..
Kerwynn Williams RB Utah St- i love this kid, and from report posted on here, said he looks good, showing breakaway speed and shiftiness, and hes obviously got stout hands outta backfield, and had multiple interviews all ready from teams, so his stock is doing well..
Blaize Foltz G TCU
Keith Pough LB Howard- THis kids a leader, and is vocal and physical.. Hes a NFL player, and all reports are his stock has done well so far..
Earl Wolff S NC State- Another one of my prime sleepres, Wolffs stock is clearly on the rise, as its nothing but positives so far on him..
Rod Sweeting/Demontre Hurst, Micah Hyde, Terry Hawthorne, Brandon McGee- These CB's have had either 2days of good reports or at least one days worth of good reports..
David Bass DE Mizzo West St- THis kids looking like a natural pass rusher, and is a very intersting prospect..
William Campbell DT Michigan- Huge reports from basically every outlet on this DT..
Sio Moore LB UCONN- Another sleeper i like, has multiple reports of playing fantastic ball so far, and made some nasty licks, drawing big oohs and awws from scouts...
Colby Cameron QB La Tech/ Nathan Stanley QB SE La- The best QB's so far, and especially Stanley..
Ray Graham RB Pitt- All good reports on the productive pitt back so far...
Cooper Taylor S Richmond- Continues to get good reports around the web from his play past 2 days..
Gerald Hodges LB Penn St- Helping his stock tremendously and is the best player here..
I might of missed a few, but these guys have multiple outlets saying there doing well, and others might have one outlet or whatever, but these guys are consensus..
I also agree about Earl Wolf, though I am not sure he qualifies as a "sleeper." This is a good safety class in my opinion.
Another guy who never played in a system that suits his skillset, but FSU's Anthony Mccloud is going to make some 34 team very happy as a NT. He won penetrate, he wont get very many TFL or Sacks, but he will consume 2 blockers and he wont give up ground doing it. I could see a team like the Steelers or possibly New England looking at him to replace their aged and possibly retiring NT. He actually reminds me a a little of Casey Hampton, 1 of the more underrated players in the NFL over the last decade+.

Update: UTSA continues to monitor swine flu
(April 28, 2009--12:30 p.m.)--UTSA officials continue to monitor the swine flu situation. All UTSA campuses (Main, Downtown and HemisFair Park) are open and operating on a regular schedule. UTSA President Ricardo Romo has asked the university's Emergency Response Team (ERT) to coordinate updates for the UTSA community.
>> Read information below on updated resources, precautions and HR procedures regarding time off.
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
These UTSA Web sites are updated as new information is available:
UTSA officials are working closely with local and state officials to monitor information and recommendations related to swine flu. On Sunday, Gov. Rick Perry took the precautionary measure of increasing the Texas request for antiviral medication to 25 percent (850,000 courses) of the Texas allotment from the CDC. The request will augment the more than 840,000 courses of antiviral medication on hand in Texas. (Read more on the Office of the Governor Web site.)
UTSA Office of Human Resources procedures: Reducing potential for spreading swine flu
From the UTSA Office of Human Resources, the following procedures will help to reduce the potential for spreading the swine flu virus to co-workers or students. For more information regarding leave, refer to the UTSA Handbook of Operating Procedures, Chapter 4.20, Authorized Leave.
Staff and Faculty
- If you suspect that you might have the swine flu, do not report to work and seek medical attention immediately.
- Do not report to work if you are caring for an ill family member diagnosed with the swine flu.
- Contact your supervisor as soon as possible and inform him or her of your need for time off.
- Contact Human Resources (HR) Leave Management department at (210) 458-6647 or 458-7874.
- Do not return to work (RTW) until medically released to do so and then coordinated through HR Leave Management.
If you are notified that your employee is ill with the flu or caring for an ill family member with the flu, follow this procedure:
- Request that your employee contact HR Leave Management at (210) 458-6647 or 458-7874.
- Request that the employee stay off work until cleared by his or her physician to return to work and coordinated with HR Leave Management
- Contact HR Leave Management immediately and regularly as you receive medical updates from the employee.
NOTE: If an employee exhibits swine flu symptoms, encourage him or her to seek medical attention and allow for the necessary time off to do so. Contact HR Leave Management for assistance.
HR Leave Management
HR Leave Management will coordinate all medical leave of absences by:
- Assisting the employee to identify and utilize leave time available
- Communicating to the supervisor the approximate length of the employee's absence
- Coordinating the employee's release to return to work
- Communicating with the supervisor regarding the return to work status of the employee
Updated Resources
- If you have flu-like symptoms, call the Texas swine flu call center at 1-888-777-5320 (7:30 a.m.-7 p.m.).
- Information on swine flu: Texas Department of State Health Servicesand U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
- Swine Flu Updates: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
- Q and A: Swine Flu and You (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
No need for alarm
- Six cases of swine flu have been reported in Texas, and no deaths from this flu have been reported in the United States. The WHO reports 68 cases of swine flu in the United States. U.S. cases have been mild, however, severe swine flu illnesses and deaths have been reported outside of the country.
- Swine flu is not caused by eating pork. All of the cases of swine flu in the United States have been transmitted by human-to-human contact.
General flu precautions
- Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and warm water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. (UTSA housekeeping staff are monitoring soap dispensers in campus restrooms to ensure an ample supply and disinfecting restrooms and door handles across the campuses.)
- Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough; cough or sneeze into a tissue and dispose of used tissues. Wash your hands after sneezing or coughing.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
- Avoid others with respiratory illnesses.
- Practice other good health habits; eat nutritious foods, get plenty of rest, exercise, manage your stress and drink plenty of fluids.
- If you are sick, stay home to avoid spreading illness to others.
- Visit a doctor if you exhibit flu-like symptoms.
Exposure and symptoms
The infectious period for confirmed cases of swine flu is one day before the onset of illness to seven days after the onset of illness. Symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of seasonal flu:
- fever of greater than 100 degrees
- sore throat
- cough
- stuffy nose
- chills
- headache and body aches
- fatigue
Some people with swine flu also have reported diarrhea and vomiting. As with seasonal flu, anyone with underlying chronic medical conditions may be more seriously impacted by swine flu.
- Anyone planning international travel should check with the U.S. Department of State for up-to-date advisories.
- Additional information from International SOS

This lightweight body lotion has a fairly good formula, although it doesn't contain anything that's special or that's needed only when skin has been exposed to too much sun. Products like this can be misleading because the claims imply that a sunburn (next to a tan, the most obvious form of visible sun damage) can be repaired before it causes lasting damage, and that's absolutely not the case.
When skin is sunburned, there are steps you can take to minimize the extent of the damage and encourage healing, but sun damage goes deeper than what any body lotion can fix.
Despite the misleading clams, this body lotion for normal to slightly dry skin contains a good mix of moisturizing ingredients (though nothing too heavy) along with antioxidants and a small amount of skin-repairing substances. It is fragrance-free, but contains coloring agents (the greenish-blue tint may look pretty, but it has no benefit for your skin).
Ultra-moisturizing balm with soothing aloe calms sun-exposed skin. Provides a post-sun "repair" to help prevent today's sun exposure from becoming tomorrow's visible damage. Helps minimize peeling. Suitable for face and body. Oil-free. Non-acnegenic.

Clinique At-A-Glance
Strengths: A few excellent moisturizers and serums; excellent sunscreens; very good cleansers and eye makeup removers; unique mattifying products; impressive selection of foundations, good concealers; some remarkable mascaras; much-improved eyeshadows, lip colors and blush formulas.
Weaknesses: Bar soaps (which can clog pores and dull skin); alcohol-based toners; unfortunate choice of jar packaging for antioxidant-loaded moisturizers.
Estee Lauder-owned Clinique launched the concept of cosmetics being "allergy-tested," "hypoallergenic," "100% fragrance-free," and "dermatologist tested." Of those marketing claims, the only one with significance is "100% fragrance-free," which, for the most part, Clinique maintains (although it does add some fragrant extracts to a few products). Unfortunately, terms like "hypoallergenic" and "dermatologist tested" aren't regulated by the FDA and can mean anything—thus, you still need to rely on the ingredient list to tell you whether their product contains any ingredients with the potential to irritate skin.
That inconvenient fact aside, Clinique is leading the way with cutting-edge, state-of-the-art moisturizers and serums, plus some formidable makeup and more than a few excellent sunscreens. While Clinique has some products that we see as missteps for reasons discussed in their reviews, more than ever, what they offer is quite good (just have realistic expectations, as some of their claims go beyond what their products are capable of).
Turning to makeup, Clinique continues to offer a vast palette of colors and textures, especially with their enormous selection of foundations—many of which feature effective sunscreens. Without a doubt, the numerous formulas offer something for every skin type and almost every skin color—though the blushes, eye makeup and lip colors are frequently not pigmented enough for deeper skin tones.
The bottom line is that, despite a few shortcomings, Clinique is one of the most comprehensive (and comparably affordable) department-store makeup lines, and it is completely understandable why they enjoy such broad appeal.
Note: Clinique is categorized as one that tests on animals because their products are sold in China. Although Clinique does not conduct animal testing for their products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brand's state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law". Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Beautypedia Team.
For more information about Clinique, call (800) 419-4041 or visit www.clinique.com.
The Beautypedia and Paula's Choice Research teams have one mission: To help you find the best products for your skin, whether they're from Paula's Choice or another brand. By combining efforts, we're able to share scientific research and remain committed to the highest standards based on our decades of experience objectively reviewing thousands upon thousands of skincare and makeup formularies in all price ranges.
Beautypedia cuts through the hype to bring you product insights and recommendations you won't find anywhere else!

This article originally appeared in the August 23, 1977 issue of the Boston Phoenix.
Elvis Presley was not only the first but the greatest myth that rock 'n' roll ever produced. His place is so fixed that his death will change nothing. No era has come to an end; the current shape of rock 'n' roll or popular music will not later; the pattern of our daily lives will not shift. This is not because he hadn't produced a Top Ten hit in five years; not because his recent performances had bloated into self-parody; not because in the last few years (by some reports) he had slid into self-imposed dementia. Nothing will change because the idea of Elvis Presley, much more than Presley himself, has been a constant part of our culture almost since the day he launched into the first words to "That's All Right (Mama)" in the Sun Studios in 1954.
There is the shock of his absence, of course. We confused the myth with Presley, somehow assuming he would always be there. In some ways I don't think we were wrong. Like any myth, Presley answered needs we did not know we had. Which isn't to say that he didn't possess and extraordinary talent and an even more extraordinary ability to manipulate it, only that we poured so much into Presley that he became our own monumental, ghastly, exhilarating reflection. His death won't change anything, because when he opened his mouth 23 years ago Elvis Presley changed almost everything.
It is impossible to speak about Presley without hyperbole. He changed the scope of things. More than the 37 Top Ten singles, the million-dollar sellers, the huge movie contracts, more than the unleashing of an entire generation of adolescents, more than the TV specials beamed around the world, the sell-out concerts in Madison Square Garden, the Astrodome and Las Vegas (all of this was unprecedented, of course), what Elvis Presley did was change our notion of what was possible. It wasn't that he said there were no limits – in his case, success was the final limit – but that the limits were far less confining than anyone imagined. And he proved it by completely absorbing the rambunctious, open spirit of blues and expressing it as his own experience; by taking the galvanizing, implicitly sexual preaching style of the Pentecostal Church and making it explicit and secular; by creating some of the most exciting and enduring music popular culture has ever produced, along with some of its most bathetic.
He did it all with grace, opulence and surprising indifference. With an ease that in retrospect is staggering, this former truck driver tapped the fundamentally democratic impulses of popular culture -- everybody can be a star, every night is Saturday night -- and embodied all of its contradictions: sexuality and repression, black and white, rebellion and tradition, art and junk, and, of course, success and failure. As critic Peter Guralnick has pointed out, it wasn't that Presley was the most talented rock 'n' roller or that the elements of his performance were unprecedented but that "Elvis had the moment," and he seized it with more power than any popular performer before him.

What do you think about me installing a unit underneath my hives that would record the weight of my hives at one hour intervals throughout the year? The log of observations would be extracted and the results graphed.
I thought it would provide another tool to observe my bees without disturbing them. I realize that nothing beats an up-close and personal inspection, frame by frame. But, this would be an interesting addition to the arsenal to stay ahead of the power curve and spot problems earlier and reducing the number of inspections needed.
My initial thoughts were to observe:
1) Spring Buildup (healthy colony)
2) Nectar flow (adding supers)
3) Depletion of reserves in the winter (identifying a need to feed)
Then I found this http://www.coloss.org/publications/C...Apidologie.pdf
Great idea or dumb idea?

High Life - P3 Pop Minimix
We're getting tropically funky and culturally diverse with a rad 10-minute minimix from Stockholm's premiere party tossers and equally excellent DJs, High Life. Put together for P3 Pop, the Swedish radio program with Sarah Martinsson, these kids worked over a mix they describe as "purely tropical gold" for last week's installment.
Have to give a hearty hat tip to Ghetto Bassquake (who is quickly becoming one of my favorite sites to frequent) for the find. You can stream or download the mix, by jumping after the track list.
Also, if that first beat doesn't jump out ant you and get you psyched for the remaining 9+ minutes of the mix, you have no soul. Hint: Simba. Woot!

Updated 5:02 pm
The internet lost its collective mind earlier this week, when a Reddit user stumbled across "what appears to be a monumental military/science experiment going on in a Chinese desert, visible on Google Earth." But the strange and massive box of jagged lines wasn't the only odd structure carved into the ground — and this week's swarm of Google-spotters weren't the first ones to take an interest in the region.
As former CIA analyst Allen Thomson notes, turning on the DigitalGlobe coverage layer in Google Earth shows all the various times the imaging satellite has been asked to inspect that part of the desert. (Here's a screenshot, above.) "Starting in 2004, somebody has ordered many, many satellite pictures of it," Thomson tells Danger Room. "Can't have been cheap."
Below are some of the strange things those satellite swoops photographed, which were then uncovered by Danger Room's community of commenters.
"Could someone please translate these characters that surround this lonely looking facility?" asks Danger Room commenter zodiac cipher. Misosoup7 replies that they mean "Border Guard." But what potential border-crosser needs such a mammoth notice?
"Any idea what this is?" Dinker Charak wonders. An antenna farm, perhaps? An electrical substation?
"Check the size of this huge water works thingy!" says Danger Room commenter Adam Kishin, pointing us to this spot on Google Maps.
Kishin also spots this rather huge patch of green in a desert otherwise foliage-deprived. Then he advises us to "stop being mesmerized by 'crazy stuff on the interwebs oooooo.' Go outside or do something productive. I know I am!"
Star Monkey fingers this site. "Bunkers? Mining?" he asks. "While this is definitely fascinating, has anyone flown over the Nevada desert in Google Earth? You'll find just as many 'strange' man made objects/formations there."
Reader NS directs us to this brightly-colored locale. That shade of blue seems rather…. unnatural.
Endo points us to a second massive box of jagged lines, similar to the one that sparked the initial furor. Are there more out there?Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Peyton Place: A Consideration of Its Role in Film and Television History
What do Peyton Place and Hollywood in the late 1950s have in common? At first glance, each town presented a perfect picture of social tranquility and quiet prosperity, but underneath the glittering facade loomed anxious denial and impending crises. This talk considers what Peyton Place can tell us about how Hollywood began to confront its darkest secrets - changing social mores, shrinking audiences, and a rapidly declining studio system. The talk will also explore what Peyton Place, both as a movie and prime time soap opera, reveals about Hollywood's often uneasy relations with the newest medium to take up residence in tinsel town - television.

Here comes the sun. As soil temperatures rise and days get longer, the garden is like a magnet that draws you outside, in some cases from dawn until dusk.
Take control now, to avoid that overwhelming feeling of things getting on top of you, when weeds loom, crops go to seed, and lawns get tatty.
What to sow: Seeds are so much fun and exceptionally economical to grow. Sow carrots, beetroot, parsnips, radish, spinach, lettuce, rocket and salad greens now. In cool areas sow early crops of Brussels sprouts. Carrots and parsnips need to be sown directly into the soil as they don't readily transplant. Sow all the others in seed-raising mix in trays, or in friable garden beds.
What to plant: Keep planting cucumbers, gherkins, melons, pumpkins, tomatoes, herbs, lettuces, celery, spinach, and silverbeet. Seek out a copy of the Tui NZ Vegetable Garden, it's in all the shops and is packed full of information and tasty recipes for more than 70 common and more exotic vegetables and herbs.
What to pick: Broad beans will be in full swing. Note that the pods are more palatable when picked young. Harvest lettuces, hand-pick salad and micro greens, celery, spring onions, spinach, silverbeet and Cavolo nero. Early tomatoes will be starting to ripen, apply tomato food around the root zone to give them a boost. Berries will be ripening. The trick is to keep the birds at bay.
Christmas tinsel works a treat and adds a festive feel to your garden.
Early potatoes will be ready to harvest, as will carrots and radish.
Top harvest tip: Try to harvest only what you can use in one meal - the crops always keep better in the garden than in the fridge.
What to preserve: Beans, carrots, radish, courgettes and spring onions can all be used in pickles and relishes. Rhubarb is in plentiful supply; try making roast rhubarb chutney, this makes a tasty home-made Christmas gift or thank-you present for someone who may be watering your garden over the holiday period.
Lawns: To keep it fresh and green, water deeply once a week, sprinkle Saturaid over light soils and add Tui Lawn Fertiliser if you haven't already done so. Lift the height of mower blades, too, this helps the lawn conserve moisture and look fresher for longer.
Roses: Dead head the first flush of flowers now and in six weeks you will be rewarded with another flurry of blooms. It's a good point to remember if you are planning a special occasion and want your roses in bloom. Add a layer of Debco Rose Compost around the root zone, not hard up against the stem and water deeply once a week in dry periods.
Watering: Water the soil, not the plants, and avoid watering in the hottest part of the day, the water can scorch the leaves.
Tools: Clean out the garden shed and spoil yourself with a few new Joseph Bentley tools, you will find after a few sessions in the garden they become your go-to tools.
Remove and dispose: Get rid of any diseased plant material. Don't be tempted to compost this unless your compost really heats up enough to kill the diseases and spores.
And lastly a message from the bees: Do us a favour and plant more flowers please, we are starving. Feed us and we will feed you with honey and pollinate your plants.

OCALA,FL- Modified and Sportsman fans and racers have had a frustrating year so far at Ocala Speedway, as weather has targeted the nights where those divisions were scheduled to race. And in fact, neither division has managed to take a green flag at Ocala Speedway in 2010 so far! But that should change this Friday, April 16th, as the long term weather forecast is good and the racers are ready to attack the toughest 3/8ths mile in the southeast.
Colortyme Rent-To-Own Night will be the setting for the $1500 to win Colortyme Open Wheel Modified Spring Fling that is expected to draw an overflow field of top Modified racers to Ocala, and should provide an awesome debut of the Colortyme Modifieds at Florida's oldest speedway. In addition to the mods, the Ocala Speedway Sportsman Division will hope that the third time is the charm, as the weather canceled their first two outings this season so far. The Tee Pee Tire Hobby Stocks and the Gladiators will also be racing.
While the Colortyme Mods and Sportsman divisions have been battling the weather instead of each other at Ocala Speedway, there has been at least one Gladiator race which was won by Casey Feaster. Feaster is in a new race car for 2010 and has been making waves wherever he races. In addition to his win at Ocala, the 20 car has gained a total of 26 positions in two weeks of racing at Volusia Speedway Park, as Feaster started races in the rear of the pack and turned that adversity into top 5 finishes.
Last Friday's victory in the Tee Pee Tire Hobby Stocks gave Daniel Miller Jr. the points lead over Hillbilly Racing's Joe Boyd. But Boyd is only one point shy of Miller, and both Heath Walker and Dean Jarvis are tied at 5 points short of number one. With a points race this tight, every move on the track could easily have a major bearing on who gets the championship this season, and everyone will be giving it their all to put themselves on top of the others.
Ocala Speedway's pit gate opens at 2PM with "hot laps" scheduled for 6:45PM. The grandstand gates open at 5PM with heat races beginning at 8PM. Admission prices and a complete schedule of events can be found at www.OcalaSpeedway.com, or call the speedway at 352-622-9400.

"Finally at the hotel and pleased to have signed for @Official_NFFC until Jan.
"Looking forward to the challenge."
Chalobah has yet to make a senior appearance for Chelsea after spending last season on loan with Watford in the Championship and was critical to the London club's run to the play-offs, where they lost the final in extra-time to Crystal Palace to just miss out on a spot in the English Premier League.
The Sierra Leone-born teenager played 42 games for Watford last season, regularly anchoring Gianfranco Zola's midfield and has been sent to Forest to earn further experience.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho does not believe Chalobah is ready to break into his first team yet, especially with the reigning Europa League champions having such riches in midfield, including Eden Hazard, Oscar, Frank Lampard and Juan Mata.
Chalobah has represented England at Under 16, U17, U19 and U21 level and won the English FA Youth Player of the Year award in February.

text: We had some heavy snow recently and on Jan 31, after 8" of snow and low temps (0 wind chill), I was cleaning the snow off of the hive entrance at Mid Day and six (6) bees flew out of the hive entrance and immediately fell into the snow on the ground. The bees were motionless so I gently picked them up and placed them near the entrance of the hive which was now clear of snow. This is my first year with a hive going through winter..the hive is in a sheltered area, but the heavy snow fall stil collected on the hive. I have it wrapped in tar paper and bored a hole in the upper deep near the top for added ventilation. Any ideas out there or is this normal behavior for bees?

I agree, the introductory heroics were great, and I love the Zandalari heroic dungeon remakes. I felt that the expansion started out strong, with Blizzard appearing to take a heavy stance that they wanted difficult content. Then, they lost a large number of subs (I think it was like 300,000 or something), and many complaints on the forums caused them to cave and give slightly easier content with Firelands (excluding heroic because I heard that was still pretty difficult). Then they went even easier, with 5man zergfest dungeons in 4.3 as well as a zergfest raid. Pre-nerf maybe DS wasn't as easy, but still easier than the other 2 tiers of raiding in the expansion were.
Basically, they started out with a lot of momentum, and lost it, and proceeded to deliver what felt like mediocre content.

Water Quality District seeks to reduce Clark Fork of contaminants
MISSOULA, Mont. - A new water quality study shows storm water is sending contaminants into the Clark Fork River.
The contamination is relatively high and the water quality district wants to change that.
Water runs through the heart of Missoula as the Clark Fork river winds its way west. People swim in it, fish in it, or just need to be near it.
The water that comes into Missoula upstream is a lot different than the water that comes out of the city downstream and there's a problem, what's coming out of storm water drains.
"If somebody uses the alley as a dumping ground, or a toilet for that matter, everything flows to the river directly with no treatment," said Peter Nielsen, supervisor of the Water Quality District.
Nielsen says storm water is a problem for the Clark Fork and they want to find a better way to treat it before it spills from storm drains into the Clark Fork and Bitterroot rivers.
The Water Quality District has a plan. They plan to apply for a grant that would help pay for a device called a hydrodynamic separator and an infiltration gallery of underground pipes that reduces sediment.
"The hydrodynamic separator uses the force of the water to create centrifugal force and it settles out the solids, which are later pumped out and later, clean water flows out," said Nielsen.
Contaminated water runs into the separator and is removed twice a year, reducing contaminants by 80 percent.
The grant would come from the Montana Department of National Resources and Conservation. If they're successful, $125,000 would leave the Water Quality District with a balance of $75,000.
"It could be a private funding source to fund that shortfall," said Kevin Slovarp, City Engineer with Development Services.
What do Missoula residents think? NBC Montana went to the streets to get some feedback.
"It's a little cloudy because its high water and it's always a little gray," said resident Mark Ford.
"I don't think it's dirty you know, there's worse places that you could be swimming, I guess," said resident Nick Banish.
"I mean anything to protect our environment, but as long as it's not taxpayer pocket," said another resident, Carrie Bonn.
Right now, the Water Quality District is seeking public input on the $200,000 project.

SW24 Security Hires 3 to Fill Critical Infrastructure Positions
As one of the firm's appointments, SW24 Security has hired Bryan Wagner as its new vice president to help the firm develop sales strategies and execute business development tactics.
By SSI Staff · April 21, 2014
NEW YORK — SW24 Security has added three members to its team to help the firm build a more robust sales and service infrastructure.
As SW24's new vice president, Bryan Wagner will be responsible for analyzing key potential vertical markets, developing sales strategies and executing business development tactics to attain sales goals.
Wagner previously served at Securitas for 13 years, most recently as an award-winning senior business development manager. He was honorably discharged from the United States Navy where he served in the military police protecting classified installations.
Joseph Laskay has joined the SW24 technical staff as manager, field installation and technical services, where he will oversee all SW24 field service technicians with direct responsibility for field supervision, technical training and in-house certification of installation team personnel.
Laskay has more than a decade of experience in the electronic security industry as a senior security systems technician and is highly experienced in CCTV and access control system installation, repair, retrofitting and project management.
The firm's new security technician, Marc Cooperstein, has extensive experience in large- scale corporate A/V teleconferencing installations as well as all aspects of low voltage intrusion, fire, access control and CCTV equipment. He is also experienced with Genetec and Honeywell software and equipment.
Cooperstein previously served at MSE Corporate Security.
"The addition of these three key sales and service professionals will greatly assist not only our growth but enhance our enterprise level service capabilities— areas that are key to our strategic blueprint," SW24 President and Founder Des Smyth says.

Do the math – see how much energy-efficient upgrades will reduce your monthly energy bill. The savings may very well pay your monthly loan payment – and then some.
Any equipment qualifying for a rebate is also eligible for low-interest financing. You can tailor your financial package to meet your needs, and you'll benefit from lower energy costs for years to come.
How much can I borrow?
The minimum loan amount is $1,500. The maximum amount that you can borrow is $25,000. Financing is available for qualifying equipment and contract labor.
Do-it-yourself labor expenses do not qualify for financing.
What is the interest rate?
The longer the loan term, the higher the interest rate.
Terms range from 0-60 months with the corresponding fixed APR between 0-6.9 percent. For example, if you choose a 12-month-or-less loan, you may be able to borrow funds interest-free, while 60-month loans are at 6.9 percent. The term and interest rate are determined upon origination of the loan. The term and rate are not adjustable following closing.
If you qualify for the low-interest financing per our financial institution's requirements, there are no fees (processing fees, points, down payments or security liens) to obtain the loan.
Note: Alliant Energy is not involved in the loan approval process.
Are there other fees?
There are no fees to obtain the loan. If you qualify for the loan according to the bank's requirements, you won't have to pay any loan processing fees, points, down payments or security liens.
What products are eligible?
All energy-efficient equipment listed on the Iowa rebates pages qualify for low-interest financing in their respective states. Before making your purchase, call 1-866-ALLIANT (866-255-4268) to confirm that your selected equipment qualifies for low-interest financing.

Heating things up can lead to some complicated circumstances. Seventeen's sexpert and contributing editor Amber Madison is here to help you handle the most uncomfortable post-hookup situations.
Celebrity Flirting Tips
A guy and I hooked up while we were drinking. How should I act when I see him sober?
If this is a guy you're interested in, then definitely act friendly. If you ignore him or are too embarrassed to say hi, then he'll think you just made a drunk mistake. I know it takes guts to be the one to strike up a conversation or approach him, but it will show confidence, which will make him like you even more.
I hooked up with a guy I like, but now he ignores me. What happened?
A few things might be going on here. One, he could feel awkward, in which case you might want to make more of an effort with him. Two, his feelings have changed and this is his (rude) way of showing you. In any case, if he tries to hook up with you again, make sure you tell him you're not interested if he's just going to ignore you again like he did last time.
