Re: Any gardening questions for Robin?
welcome Robin it's always a pleasure to have an expert clearing all our doubts.
My question is how do I know my peperoncini are ready to be cropped, they are completely red, some of them in fact, but the stem is green and fresh. Shall I wait till the stem becomes a little weak and dry to start taking the red ones away.
and would you cover the just planted leeks with soil before thy become thick and to which height.
thank you and I hope you'll have fun on the forum as we do

Re: Any gardening questions for Robin?
I just bought potted herbs yesterday. I'm planning on keeping them in my sunroom for clipping when I cook. I have several, such as thyme, rosemary, basil, sage, etc. It appears that the root systems are ready for a larger planter. I was wondering if I could put a few of them in a big pot together. Can I combine herbs in a planter to grow???

Re: Any gardening questions for Robin?
Hi Robin,
welcome on board and thanx for sharing your knowledge!
My question: I don�t have a garden but a huge balcony. I haven�t had the time this year to grow some herbs and veg there, but what kind of herbs and veg go well together in one pot and which sorts would you say are especially good for growing in pots? What about the size of the pots?
I also know that some combination of plants keep flies etc. away, these combination are very interesting to me!

Re: Any gardening questions for Robin?
Hi Robin!
I need some help with my Fuggles Hops, if you have any knowledge about hops.
I have one very big pot and three vines come out of the soil and climb a wooden fence "thing". I live in Greece, Patras so the climate has some humidity and it's very warm.
My hops started growing at around april time and became quite big with many beautiful leaves. Suddenly at about July-August the leaves started to become yellow and the tops started to die and the leaves after them. It's not mold or anything I'm almost sure about that.
I used some fertilizer and some Iron(Fe with sulfur something, sorry not good with chemistry). After a week from the fertillizing and addition of iron it started growing again, and not it's growing new "tops" from many places.
Sorry if my english is not that good, you think I can do anything else to help it? Is there anything I can do for the "cold"(average 10C) that is coming in winter?
*I know it's the first year so I won't get any hop flower to use in brewing, but I'm afraid it's gonna die or something.

News: Tagged as Adhaf Soueif
In-use: FF Seria and FF Seria Arabic in Reflections on Islamic Art
The English and Arabic soft cover copies of the Qatar Museums Authority's Reflections on Islamic Art. Each book is also available in a hardbound edition.
Reflections on Islamic Art is a new book edited by Ahdaf Soueif. It is available in two editions: Arabic and English. Both are typeset in FF Seria, one of our multi-script typefaces.
FF Seria started as a Latin script family; Martin Majoor began the design in 1996, and we released it in 2000. Nine years later, we brought FF Seria Arabic onto the market, which Majoor developed together with Pascal Zoghbi, a Dutch-trained type designer based in Lebanon. Their tandem Arabic family was the first Arabic typeface published by FontFont; it grew out of an earlier collaboration named Sada, which had been designed as part of the Khatt Foundation's Typographic Matchmaking project.
Both the Arabic and English editions of Reflections on Islamic Art were designed by Muiz Anwar, a graphic designer based in London – and also a former intern with us at FontFont. Anwar's solution for these books is reduced and thoughtful. Each edition is a mirror of the other. Images play the primary role in the design, often taking up full pages, or half of a spread.
In order for the Arabic and English titles to take up the similar amounts of visual space, the Arabic title employs long kashidas – or lengthening strokes. However, the English title makes use of additional space, too. Had Anwar set the English title in upper and lowercase, its words would have been much shorter; by switching to all caps, letterspacing may be applied. The combination of tracked capitals in English and kashidas in Arabic is an interesting solution.
The books' colour palettes are reduced, drawing more attention to the images themselves when their appear. Text in the Reflections on Islamic Arteditions is always either black-on-white or white-on-black. The tables of contents are handled in a similar way as the books' title pages. Yet the typographic hierarchies are not identical in each edition: for the English-language, author names are set in FF Seria Italic, setting them apart from the main text in FF Seria Regular. Whereas in the Arabic typography there isn't an italic weight in FF Seria Arabic, so the Arabic text has a slightly more even feel.
FF Seria Italic is an upright italic. Its letters have only a minimal slant. This sets it apart from the italics in Majoor's other typeface families; FF Nexus Italic and FF Scala Italic both feature a steeper slope.
Anwar is a type designer and letterer himself, and he contributed more to Reflections on Islamic Art than just its typesetting. Each chapter opens with a very short text in a thin, dotted-line constructed Arabic script that he designed for the purpose. The hard geometry and 'digital' nature of Anwar's lettering in these books contrasts well with the pen-shaped form of FF Seria Arabic.
Regarding his design, Anwar wrote to tell us that he aimed 'to reflect the architecture of the Museum of Islamic Art, an environment with an amazing collection of unique and intricately wrought works of art'. He continued, 'the book is the building and its design is the architecture; its job is to maximize the impression the words and the images make on the viewer/reader. My design is rooted in the grid system traditions evident in the layout of Qur'anic and other Islamic manuscripts. Margins are wide and generous to allow the eye space to appreciate the variant detail of each piece of work. The reduced colour palette for the book is an extension of the architectural aesthetic I.M. Pei established for the MIA building.'
Great care has been taken to ensure that the harmony achieved and evident in an
Arabic spread is reflected with equal beauty in a Latin spread – with particular elements
reflected/reversed to conform to Arabic and Latin reading patterns. The grid layout for internal spreads is based on the proportions of early Arabic manuscripts, which characteristically featured expansive borders. Although these borders were often used for annotation, commentary and illumination, in many cases they were left blank, allowing greater emphasis to be placed on the content centralised on the page.

All good. No comments :)
Great little place...private and good location. You are within walking distance of Wenceslas Square, National Museum and Tram stops. Plenty of shops and bars and restaurants around the area.Ideal for a weekend in Prague! Great help also from picking me up at the airport late and took me to the airport at stupid time in the morning.
We had a very pleasant stay in Prague. Emil was very friendly and gave us all the information we needed to stay in Prague. From where to eat and what to do to where to park your car. He had a welcome package for us with a map of Prague important information and good to knows.
Apartment is literally in the city center everything is in a walk distance. Apartment was very clean and we had every equipment we needed for our stay.
So if you ever have to go to Prague check for availability of this apartment because its a great value in center of Prague.
One Small thing the sofa bed can be a little tiny for to big adults but we didn't mind.
We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It was bigger than what the pictures showed so that was a great surprise! The place held everything we needed, good kitchen supplies, comfortable bed and the washing machine was a big plus since we stayed for three weeks.
We had problems sleeping because they were renovating the apartment below us which made a lot of noise. The apartment got very warm even tho we had no heating on, but if was solved quite quickly by opening a window. We would definitely recommend this place to others tho! :-)
Nice apartment and good location. The metro station is infront of the door.
The apartment was nice, kitchen facilities, clean, big enough for a group of eight people. They even left two cods for the babies. The location is so perfect that we could walk everywhere, and Is just there in Wenceslao square. Would definitely repeat it.
Good apartment, very comfortable, clean and quite cozy. Ideal pick for few days stay.
However, there are few cons about it. The towel drayer in the bathroom was not working, the shower rail was broken, the walls were not as clean as it could be.
But whatsoever I would recommend this apartment and will pick it next time.
Everything was okay, Emil and Anastasia have been very flexibel regarding our arrival. The apartment was clean and well situated. We have used the Pavlova station (line 22!) - so you have a chance to see something other than tourists.
Otherwise you need just 3 minutes to reach Wenzel's place.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Lovely sized apartment in a great central location. All the sights are within walking distance, with some good bars and restaurants nearby. Excellent communication and help from the host.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Life...you muddle your way through it and then you die!
Oh wow. I love the chiken quilt and Polly yours is a beauty too. I have an applique project in the to do list. All these wonerful quilts make me want to get started right away. I really need to finsh up those UFOs- thanks for all the inspiration.
Every day's a blessing.
Crazy quilt lady I am so sorry for your loss.
Every day's a blessing.
Our guild did this as a two year challenge. We had more than 2000 UFO among those that participated. More than half were completed that year. There were many smiling faces at the monthly show and tell. In addition, for each UFO completed you put your name on a slip of paper and into a drawing. The organizer went to quilt shops and asked for items from the guild... these were the prizes. At the end of the year, all the slips were put in a big jar and there were 3 major prizes... can't remember what they were ( think one was a sewing machine, another a large gift certificate from a quilt shop and the third draws a blank.
Anyway, it was well received. The gal who did it was well organized and each participant had a notebook with a page for each UFO. One lady had over 500 UFO's. She taught classes and had many samples in various stages.
We even had a section of our quilt show for showing the UFO's.
Sure I thought I was done with the farm block swap with one quilt, what was I thinking, I found blocks for a whole other one and it is set out on design wall, needs sewn. Put a solid color ziner on it and then pieced border with all the left over fabric for farm and I may get rid of all those scraps. Then quilt. have to go to store and buy a roll of 6oz polyester. i like that weight for quilting fills in gaps better and gives a bit more loft and warmth.
Life is short, live it while you still can. QuilterMomma
I saw this was posted 2-17-12 so I take it I can still do the UFO.please count me in if u still can
Linda Wedge White
I believe UFOs are like scraps, ferns and dust bunnies. Once you get two, they send spores out into the air and more just happen anywhere the spores meet.
Life...you muddle your way through it and then you die!
I finished this table runner. I started it about 4 years ago after taking a class from Char Jorgensen on this Cleopatra pattern. Had the top done. Got it quilted last week and got it bond while being layed up from knee surgery.
I had been working on several projects to have then ready for the hand work to do while I was laid up. But it seems I have spent a lot of time on the quilting board. So when I done with this back to the sewing projects.

Danks or Floyd: Take your pick
For teams seeking to trade for a starting pitcher, the White Sox can offer one from Column A and one from Column B.
Lefty John Danks appeals to high-revenue teams – he will get a raise from $6 million in his final year of arbitration, then hit free agency.
Righty Gavin Floyd, on the other hand, fits nicely for low-revenue clubs – he is signed for $7 million next season with a $9.5 million club option for 2013.
The White Sox are drawing interest in both pitchers, major-league sources say. Whether they trade one, both or neither likely hinges on the trade offers they receive.
Danks will hit the open market at 27 next off-season and pitch his first free-agent season at 28. His career numbers – 54-56, 4.03 ERA – might appear modest. But he averaged nearly 195 innings over the past four seasons, and his ERA, except for the first two months of 2011, was in the 3.70 range.
Free-agent lefty C.J. Wilson, who is expected to sign for a minimum of five years and $80 million, has been a starter for only two years. Danks, if he pitches well next season, presumably would be worth much more. A big-money team such as the Yankees or Red Sox could trade for him, then try to re-sign him.
Floyd, who turns 29 on Jan. 27, is not as accomplished as Danks and lacks the left-hander's upside, but his price is right. Even a low-revenue club such as the Pirates could afford Floyd's salaries in 2012 and '13, and fit him nicely into the middle of their rotation.
The White Sox are entering a transition period – their new manager, Robin Ventura, has never managed or coached at any level, and the team will give him time to grow into the job.
Right fielder Carlos Quentin, entering his free-agent year, is perhaps the most likely White Sox player to be traded, but the offers for Danks and/or Floyd might be too good to resist.
One from Column A, one from Column B.

A tsunami advisory for New Zealand has been cancelled, seven hours after an 8-magnitude earthquake struck near the Solomon Islands today.
The Ministry of Civil Defence & Emergency Management (MCDEM) issued a statement at 9pm (NZT) saying the threat to most areas of New Zealand's coast had now passed.
However, a minor threat still remains on the West Coast from Taranaki to Milford Sound for the next 24 hours.
"Advice from GeoNet Tsunami Expert Panel is that there may be unusual water conditions e.g. local tidal surges and strong currents, especially during the early hours of Thursday 7 February. People should exercise caution and discretion before entering the water or going out in small boats,'' the statement said.
The epicentre of the powerful quake was 347km east of Kira Kira in the Solomon Islands. The US Geological Survey said the depth of the quake was deeper than initially thought. The quake struck at a depth of 33km, not 5.8km as first reported.
A wave of about one metre hit the Solomon Islands this afternoon, and four villages were destroyed in the Lata area of the Santa Cruz group of islands, Andrew Catford of World Vision told TVNZ.
Editor of the Solomon Star, Ofani Eremae, said reporters had spoken to people on the ground in remote areas and they confirmed big waves had hit their shores.
The quake was not felt in Honiara because they were so far away from the epicentre, he said.
Fiji issued a tsunami warning for the entire country and sirens sounded in Suva.
Residents said the city was blocked with traffic jams as people tried to move to higher ground.
The Fiji Ministry of Information issued a public warning during the afternoon telling all residents in low lying areas to evacuate to high ground for safety.
"Schools in coastal areas are advised to release students and to ensure their safety.
School authorities around the country must determine whether students are safe to remain in school - this is especially important for students that live in coastal areas,'' said the warning.
Waves - which had been due in Fiji from 5pm New Zealand time - had not appeared an hour later, and the Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre cancelled its tsunami warning for Fiji.
A Nadi local said there had be no noticeable waves about the time the tsunami was forecast to hit.
"It's all clear now ... nothing at all.''
MCDEM initially warned boaties and swimmers to stay out of the sea due to possible tidal surges, and said people should not go sightseeing.
"The threat is judged to be low, likely to be undetectable except in enclosed bays that traditionally have abnormal current flows,'' an earlier statement said.
"In many locations the primary concern is likely to come from strong currents within harbours and surges in river mouths.''
An early MCDEM advisory covered North Cape, Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Waikato, Taranaki, Manawatu/Wanganui, Gisborne, Kapiti, Marlborough, Nelson/Tasman, West Coast, Milford, Dunedin and the Chatham Islands. That advisory was updated by the 9pm bulletin.
MCDEM said this afternoon that unusually strong currents and unpredictable water flows could be expected near the shore - which could be a threat to beach, harbour, estuary and small boat activities.
It said coastal inundation of land areas near the shore was not expected.
Historical data suggested wave activity was likely to be greatest on the central west coast, between Hokitika and New Plymouth, as well as the Far North.
The threat elsewhere was towards the lower end, with wave amplitudes of between 0.2m to 1m.
Modelling and historical data suggested the largest waves could arrive two to eight hours after the first potential waves, expected from about 6.05pm.
"The first arrivals are likely to be small,'' MCDEM said.
The Ministry advised people to listen to the radio and television for further assessment and updates, and follow instructions of their local Civil Defence authorities.
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokeswoman said the ministry was aware of the tsunami watch alert, which had been in place for much of the Pacific.
"Our Posts are monitoring the situation and the High Commission in the Solomon Islands has issued an advisory to New Zealanders registered with us as being there on [the] safetravel website.''

While Minister Kent has a strong incentive to coordinate a national approach, he may lack the political and public support. Climate change lacks urgency. Everyday Canadians are not threatened by the negative impacts of climate change in the same way that baby boomers are immediately concerned with old age pension.

Conservationists are working to stop the killing of elephants for their tusks
DOZENS OF AFRICAN ELEPHANTS SLAUGHTERED. That headline has become all too common. Last month, poachers killed at least 86 elephants in Chad and 28 in Cameroon. Both countries are in a region of Africa that has lost more than 60% of its elephants to illegal hunters in the past decade, according to a recent study from the Wildlife Conservation Society.
In 2012 alone, experts say, 30,000 elephants were killed in countries across Africa. "We're seeing the highest levels of poaching since our record-keeping began," Crawford Allan, of the World Wildlife Fund, told TFK.
Why are so many elephants being killed? The answer lies thousands of miles away from Africa, in a handful of Asian countries. In China, business is booming in fancy shops that sell expensive statues and jewelry made of ivory.
The material comes from elephant tusks. But for many ivory purchasers, the gentle giants are not only out of sight but also out of mind. "Surveys indicate that seven out of 10 Chinese citizens don't realize that an elephant has to die in order [for them] to get ivory," says Will Travers, of the Born Free Foundation. In recent years, as China's economy has grown, so has the demand for ivory.
The Trouble with Tusks
The hunt for ivory is not a new problem. In the 1980s, as many as 1 million elephants were slaughtered in Africa. The "Ivory Wars" continued until 1989, when a treaty called CITES banned the sale of ivory from one country to another. Elephant populations began to increase. But that progress was short-lived.
Several African countries had been storing large stockpiles of tusks. To many people, allowing valuable ivory to collect dust in storage seemed like a waste. So CITES officials let a few countries sell their ivory. China bought large quantities of tusks. Today, that ivory is sold legally throughout the country. Unfortunately, this has made it possible for illegal ivory to be sold as well.
Now conservationists are putting pressure on China to crack down on the sale of illegal ivory. Experts say more help is required in Africa too. "A lot of our focus has been on providing training and equipment for the people on the front lines, the rangers," says Kelvin Alie, of the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
Last year, Gabon, in central Africa, set fire to its ivory stockpile. By burning millions of dollars worth of tusks, the nation made a strong statement. "We don't want our children to inherit an empty forest," said the country's President, Ali Bongo. With allies like Bongo, elephants just might stand a chance.
In the video below from the Wildlife Conservation Society, conservationists talk about what must be done to help elephants.

So next year I plan on grafting some queens for the first time. I only have two langs and would like to leave one untouched for better honey production. So here is my plan.
Get a queen as early as possible in the spring. Take established queen from hive and make a nuc and introduce new queen to original hive. Let the nuc build up until filled with bees. Remove queen from nuc and rear queen from larvae from bought queen in the nuc. Use queens to requiem trouble queens and make splits from nucs and the original hive. Let nucs build up, rinse, and repeat. Of course this may not all happen quickly and as planned, but I need to start somewhere.
There are going to be some assumed things here such as making the queen cell builder/finisher hopelessly queenless before introducing grafts. I will likely check after removing queen in about 3-4 days and remove queen cells. I figure this will provide a strong colony to raise queens.


text: One of my hives swarned yesterday and they are about 70 feet up a large oak tree. I put a couple of extra swarm traps out and baited them. Is there anything else I could do? Similar situation a couple years ago and I shot the branch down, but that didn't get me the swarm. It is my strongest hive, right in the middle of the flow.

2004 GTA San Andreas: First Screens & Art!
GTAGaming.com - General News | @ 10:03 PM MDT | By Kodo
We present to you the first ever GTA: San Andreas art and screenshots!
The first three screenshots of San Andreas to hit the web - from the official site.
So, we have pretty much what we all imagined since San Andreas was announced. It has the latino-gangster type setting that we concluded, and it looks modern too. The main character appears to not be white. And look! Bicycles! You know that was on wishlists, and that means Rockstar does read them!
Oh yeah and also we thought you would like to read this from the Rockstar Webmaster so you can be updated as we are:
(Recieved 05/11/04)
Hey Guys,
I thought you would want to be the first to hear that we just updated the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas splash page.

Ruteng (23-28 December)
Ruteng, the capital of the Manggarai region, is four hours from Labuanbajo, and home to fellow VSO volunteer Bec.
Ruteng SLB (school for disabled children) is near Bec's house, and like most others in Flores, it is Catholic.
The SLB was set in beautiful grounds, and seemed to be better than those I have seen in Java - much of the teaching is vocational, with children leaving school to become carpenters, tailors, cooks or shop workers. Perhaps there is a sense of love and duty on the part of the Catholic sisters, not found in Java, that makes a difference.
From there we went on to visit Desa Ruteng, which is a traditional Manggarai village.
Later I found a book about the Manggarai culture, and spent a fascinating few hours reading all about it.
Mass on Christmas Eve was very memorable - I had secured a copy of the service beforehand in Bahasa Indonesia, so I spent an hour in the afternoon brushing up on my religious vocabulary!
The place was packed, but it was a local affair, with girls wearing traditional 'bali belo' hats dancing up the aisle before the priest and procession.
The Philippinos do their celebrating after Mass, on Christmas eve, so there was more lovely food to eat, followed by a secret santa. I was very ready for bed by about 1am, and slept soundly!
My Christmas day was different to any I have had before.
On Christmas day and over the two days that followed, we went out a lot! In fact we were hardly at home, for many of Bec's colleagues had invited us to their house for makan siang (lunch) and makan malam (dinner).
I don't think I've ever shaken as many hands. You have to shake hands with everybody, in Indonesia, and photographs are also much loved. I can still remember asking Jo if she would take a photo of me and four other vols who were sat next to me (left). In the meantime, everybody else decided they should join us, and the final photo featured six VSO volunteers, Pak Adam (our host), Pak Adam's wife,
The other thing I ought to tell you about is all the dancing we were doing in Flores. On the evening of Christmas day we went to Ibu Jovita's house. Now Ibu Jovita loves her dancing, and she got a dance instructor along for us. There is a traditional Florenese line dance called the Poco Poco (pronounced 'pocho pocho'), which has one basic step and about 20 different variations.
The next evening we were at a village party held in the retirement home for Catholic priests (!) and I did a fine job of leading for one of the dances (which everyone else had forgotten).
On our final full day in Ruteng we hired a bemo (a real luxury, as normally you play to their tune, not the other way round) and went to the village of Pagal to see a French volunteer. Valerie works on VSO's livelihoods programme with an organisation promoting organic farming methods in Pagal.
Valerie's organisation is affiliated with the Catholic Church, and in the nearby seminary we
Before we left Pagal, Valerie gave us some mango crumble, along with delicious coffee - I couldn't believe it, I felt like I was in a Parisian caf�! Lovely woman.

Medicare confusion
Original post made by Alamo Resident, Alamo, on Jul 30, 2010
Does anyone have it figured out just how much Supplemental Insurance is needed when one reaches Medicare age. I am being bombarded with "information" and the costs for these supplemental plans vary from very expensive to very inexpensive --- is Supplemental Insurance really needed along with Medicare, or does the new Health Bill change things. I need help with navigating the system.

If Sao Paulo, or Sampa as the locals call it, was a girl, to me it would be a girl who at first glance you didn't think was that hot, but she becomes hotter when you spend more time with her. Her personality comes through and this makes up for the fact that she's not a smokin' hottie. I say this because Sampa ain't a pretty city. It's a concrete jungle. An enormous concrete jungle. But the more time I've spent wandering this monster of a place, along Ave Sao Joao, past the Theatro Municipal, towards the Catedral da Se�, and down to the Asian quarter (where I found my beloved Korean snack - Peperro, for only 5 times the price of Korea), the vibe of the monster has taken over my body.
Sao Paulo is a monster, a monster with a reputuation - that it's a dangerous monster. Before arriving, I read a fair bit about what to expect, danger wise, and one friend even told me "dude, don't die in Sao Paulo...seriously". I mean sure, the police on streets all wear bullet-proof vests when they are walking about (not sure I've ever seen that before), and sure, more houses than not are decked out with huge fences, sensors, cameras and lights. And sure, the government made it legal to run red lights at night, but does that really mean that Sampa is a dangerous city? Yes, it does I guess. From what people have atold me, in a nutshell all the problems here come from the huge difference between the rich and the poor. As far as my Sampa experience goes, I've yet to see any signs of how this city got this reputation. Yet. That doesn't mean I'll be setting out alone on any late night walks around the city anytime soon.
As much as this vibe has effected me in the few days I've been in Sampa, I haven't been able to shake the feeling that something was missing. There are some wicked, typically Brazilian things here - awesome football teams (Sao Paulo and Corinthians), juice bars on every corner pumping out cheap, freshly squeezed juice, and music seemingly everywhere. But something was missing, something I couldn't quite work out. It was eating at me, like when you hear a song and you know the singer, but at that moment you can't remember who it is, but you know you know. Then it came to me over a glass of orange juice - Sao Paulo needs a beach. Of course, locals don't think so, they love Sampa for what it is. But as a visitor, a Brazilian city without a beach is just alittle less Brazilian. I know the ocean is about an hour away down in Santos, but that's a fair hike. They should build one in the middle of the city - like Brisbane did, but better.
Next stop, Foz de Iguaza....brilliant.

I've read some papers on game design and psychology but they seem unsatisfactory.
Before I will proceed with my questions and issues I shall list the articles here:
Valve has some interesting papers even if their focus is more on playtesting rather than the design process before the playtest.
The gamasutra articles seem a too shallow in my opinion. They don't go into detail and I feel that they just scratched the surface a bit and established some "rules" and "tips" by oversimplifying everything. Most of the time I feel that the way they use to model a player is a super simplistic state-machine.
In reality we are really complex creatures, and even if you can trick us into certain things because of some hard-wired connections in our brains caused by evolution I feel that the players should be treated with more respect and research in these areas should explore further than skinner box examples or models.(something more complex than what zynga or the casinos are doing ).
For example I am interested right now in how can I raise certain feelings in my player. Let's say I want him to feel vulnerable and afraid. But I don't want him just to feel the fear of dying and starting over again, I want him to be afraid on a deeper level.
Or If I want him to have a feeling of hope how can I do that without using some cheesy flowers blossoming and trees growing and other similar childish things. I want to do it in a more subtle way.
Are there resources where I can learn about psychology and the ways humans tend to respond to visual and audio stimuli?
I think that games could go a level further in exploring these areas because unlike movies, the person interacts directly with the medium and is not only a receiver, so if you have any studies that involve games it would be even better .
Thanks in advance for at least reading this huge post .

Luxe Paradise on the Shores of Wailea
Ho'olei at Grand Wailea • Wailea, HI
Escape Kit

- 20% Spa Discount per Guest
- 50% Off a Tour of Haleakala, Central Maui, and Iao Valley for Two Guests
- Early Check-In at Noon and Late Checkout at 6 p.m.
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay
The Destination
Windswept lowlands, sun-drenched beaches, and enchanting rain forests—Maui's multifarious landscape truly has something for everyone. But when it comes to the undeniably decadent, the gold-sand shores of Wailea Beach deliver a glorious getaway flush with award-winning accommodations, exquisite cuisine, and sunset views. Protected on both sides by black lava points, Wailea's shoreline is fringed by five shimmering beaches, each home to a host of shaded nooks and tranquil coves.
The Digs
The luxe villas at Ho'olei at Grand Wailea boast some of the best views—from the shimmering Pacific to the famed Haleakala volcano—on the island. You'll have your choice of a Garden Luxury Villa, an Ocean Luxury Villa, or a Deluxe Ocean Luxury Villa, all adorned with sumptuous tropical décor, vaulted ceilings and stone floors, breezy two-level lanais outfitted with grills, and plush king- and queen-size beds. Lavishly appointed kitchens show off Italian cabinetry, granite counters, and oversize islands.
The Diversions
Situated right next door is the Grand Wailea, a Waldorf Astoria resort where you'll have full access to the sprawling pools, which feature a swim-up bar, six waterfalls, whitewater rapids slides, and a water elevator. And on the beach, the resort provides everything from boogie boards to snorkeling gear to sand castle kits (for an additional fee).
Using your 20-percent discount, spring for one of 100 treatments at the Spa Grande, named the Top Hawaii Hotel Spa by Travel + Leisure in 2012. And when hunger strikes, head for a succulent Kobe beef burger with truffle mayonnaise and Gorgonzola on basil focaccia at the Bistro Molokini; grab a grilled, hand-caught spiny lobster at the oceanside Humuhumunukunukuapua'a; or try Alan Wong's Amasia, an East-meets-West affair that features a James Beard award-winning chef and a menu that offers everything from inventive sushi to dishes like soy-braised short ribs and crispy shrimp tempura with a citrus chili salt.
On the full-day adventure tour of Haleakala, Central Maui, and the Iao Valley, you'll get up close to the dormant Mount Haleakala Crater, where you'll summit the mountain, stop at the visitors' center, and pay a visit to the overlook. Then it's off to Central Maui, where you'll discover the island's unique flora and fauna. The tour then heads to Wailuku, a bucolic town known for its sugar-cane fields, and Iao Valley State Park, featuring the iconic Iao Needle, a lush volcanic monolith that rises 1,200 feet from the valley floor.
"Hospitality of the staff and service were top-notch, as always. Villa was fantastic with all the benefits of home—best thing was waking up every morning and enjoying coffee while watching the whales swim by. Staff truly make it feel like home."-- TripAdvisor

I put this under the queen rearing catagory because of the quad box. No new ideas here, but some that may want to build there own may want to see the assembly.
They can email me for still photos or questions.
Burned deep box is for swarm collection. First on the slide show is that box with LOTS of Ventilation for possibly hot and angry bees. Just use a ratchet strap to secure the assembly. Note the bottom board has corners to keep the deep box in place.
The Dadant hive bodies needed the frame shelf raised quite a bit to use deep frames. I was surprised. I have never heard of them needing that.There is not much info on the internet about them. I installed about a 3/8" wood shim and then the plastic protector that came with them. Otherwise the deep frame hung past the bottom about 1/2 "
Top feeder or vent holes are screened. To use them as feeders add an empty box over the feeders, then the top. To use as vents just shim the top slightly to allow air flow.
I am using purchased nuc entrance reducers, but you could keep the 3 1/3" cut out from the feeding holes, drill you own holes for entrance control.
I looked long and hard at premade styrofoam mini nuc box's and quads, but they were ether not what I wanted or shipping was too much. The Dadant's deep box's were not too bad shipping on 12 deeps was $64.00 and I bought a few extra to sell to help pay for mine.
They are time consuming to divide and make all the frames, but now that the first one is complete, I can whip through the rest a lot faster. Good projects for winter time. Spring will be here before you know it.

A great affection remains among audiences for Rent, Jonathan Larson's 1994 rock opera based on Puccini's La Bohème — it has toured the world several times over, and is slated for an Off-Broadway revival this summer. Its key attraction is its life-affirming spirit, which is a palpable force in our most recent local production, at Lyric Music Theater, in South Portland. Under the direction of Michael Donovan, a very ardent cast with some excellent voices enacts the interlinked stories of struggling young filmmaker Mark and his boho friends in New York City.
Mark (Jason Phillips) squats in a heatless former publishing-house building with his buddies Roger (Chris Austin) and Tom Collins (Thomas Jerome Smallwood), a gay, anarchist computer professor. Both are HIV-positive, and among their creative, edgy cohort, AIDS is not a specter so much as a presence right at the table — Roger's girlfriend killed herself after her diagnosis, and friends are dying. Also positive are Mimi (Celeste Green), an exotic dancer and Roger's new love interest, and Angel (Tyler Beck), a drag queen and the new lover of Tom. Rounding out the main players are Mark's ex-girlfriend Maureen (Jennifer Miller), a bisexual performance artist diva who, with her Ivy-educated Legal Aid girlfriend Joanne (Rebecca Rinaldi), rages against Benny (Brian McAloon), their former friend who married into real estate, now charges everyone rent, and wants to develop the tent-city lot next door.
There's great energy and feeling among the cast, which does well in conveying the sense of familial closeness of this rag-tag community. As Mark, the documenting eyes of the group, Phillips has a strong voice and a low-drama affability that befits the observer of the bunch, and Austin, as his roommate Roger, does nice work opening the man's angst and anger to love. Smallwood is a giddy, sonorous buddha as Tom and a delight, especially in the professor's whimsical musical dream of opening a restaurant far away in Santa Fe; he's also a spectacular dancer, and in that sense was underused in this show. As Tom's love interest Angel, Beck has a nice ethereal, weirdo sweetness, though he could use some more practice dancing in heels. The women lovers Joanne and Maureen have a particularly good, touchy rapport (and a great duet belting it out), and Green as Mimi has the most fully developed arc in the show, progressing as she does from a Joan Jett-infused bad girl to a weeping waif on her last legs.
Everyone ranges over a multi-level set, meant to evoke the precarious, stripped-down rubble in which they negotiate their lives. Don Smith's set, a collage of planks and plywood, gets across their setting's dun squalor, though its visual reference to its dynamism — a sort of helix shrine of old bicycle parts, Christmas lights, and interesting cast-off junk — seems a little too far upstage. This show also makes periodic use of projections, whereby Mark's footage is shown. I'm not sure I agree with the decision to screen footage of what is actually going on onstage, which is to say, lots of people singing, as opposed to what's going on in their regular neighborhood lives, which would presumably be a lot less songful, but the projections are at some times used movingly and to interesting visual effect. Near the beginning, Roger's solo puts him up close in front of the screen, in near-crucifixion pose and half covered in the huge face of his dead girlfriend.

The Kabbalah of Envy
Transforming Hatred, Anger, and Other Negative EmotionsNegative emotions have much to teach us about ourselves and our relationships with others and the world at large. Rabbi Bonder draws on the wisdom of the Talmud, Hasidic tales, and Jewish mystical lore in presenting insights into the effects of envy, jealousy, hatred, and anger. He shows that whether we are on the giving or the receiving end of these unpleasant emotions, we can learn to transform them and… Read More

The Community and Family Services option (formerly Individual & Family Management) allows you to develop a strong foundation in the field with the flexibility to select a wide range of electives that reflect your interests and professional goals. The core of this program provides you with the tools to work with individuals and families within a variety of environments. Through advising, internships, and specialized coursework, this program can be built to meet each student's individualized needs. Human resources, geriatric services, Extension, leisure services, community engagement and management are but a few options to consider when developing your own program of study which has "working with people" as its focus.
Issues that have great importance for our changing world today include cultural diversity, the aging of the population, the impact of welfare reform, changes in funding at the local, state and national level, issues related to consumerism, and family resource management. Within each of these and other areas there is an aspect of public policy and thereby a need for both decision making, leadership and debate. These areas will have a tremendous impact on the ways in which community and human services are administered in the future.
Another name by which this type of program is known is Individual and Family Services. Career tracks might include areas such as freelancing, entrepreneurship, or community services.
For some students who have targeted specifically County Extension programs this program sets them on the career path that includes knowledge of the areas and skills in presenting/sharing pertinent information.

Direct Relief USA reaches out to tornado victims
Local non-profit waits for word to send medical supplies to Texas
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Direct Relief U.S.A. is doing what it can to help the victims of the Texas Tornadoes. It's been days since the devastating tornadoes wreaked havoc in North Texas.
Hundreds of homes were damaged or destroyed, many of them in the most vulnerable communities.
"These are homes that were built by Habitat for Humanity, for lower income families who often receive treatment at this particular clinic we partner with," explained DRI spokesperson, Hannah Rael.
The danger isn't over for many people.
"One of the most critical things is they're cleaning up, and Tetanus vaccinations are in demand, also personal protection equipment, gloves hand sanitizer. As the clean-up continues, there's still a lot of health risks that can happen," said Rael.
Direct Relief is one of the country's only non-profit organizations certified to distribute pharmaceuticals to clinics and medical facilities in need.
"Often in events like this when people are forced to evacuate, if they have a chronic disease like Diabetes or Hypertension, their medications are gone. These people are really in need," said Rael.
DRI will continue to reach out to its partners in Texas. The non-profit has supplies inside it warehouse ready to be shipped at a moment's notice. DRI isn't accepting donations for Texas at this time, but they encourage people to check their website and Facebook page to learn how they can help.

|Official Title:
|Oral Micronized Progesterone for Perimenopausal Vasomotor Symptoms
- Vasomotor Symptoms (VMS)/ VMS Score [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
Participants will complete a daily calendar (Daily Perimenopause Hot Flush Calendar) to record frequency and severity (quantified by numerical scale ie 0=none to 4=extreme) of hot flushes and night sweats. The VMS Score will be calculated as follows:
Daily VMS Score = (# night sweats) x (severity) + (#hot flushes) x (severity).
Outcome is the average daily VMS Score during the final 28 days of therapy, to be analysed with 28-day run-in scores as covariate.
- Frequency of VMS [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]Frequency (count) of hot flushes/hot flashes and night sweats per day from prospective daily calendar records. Outcome is the average daily VMS Frequency (day + night) during the final 28 days of therapy, to be analysed with 28-day run-in scores as covariate.
- Severity of VMS [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]Severity (0-4) of hot flushes/hot flashes and night sweats per day from prospective daily calendar records. Daily summary score is the maximum of daytime and nighttime severity. Outcome is the average daily severity during the final 28 days of therapy, to be analysed with 28-day run-in scores as covariate.
- Sleep problems and anxiety [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
Daily average rating of sleep problems (0-4) and anxiety (0-4) from prospective daily calendar records.
Outcome is the average daily rating during the final 28 days of therapy, to be analysed with 28-day run-in scores as covariate.

Detailed Description:
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|35 Years to 58 Years (Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Between 35-58 years of age
- At least 4 vasomotor symptoms (VMS) per day, on average, for at least 2/4 weeks or at least 56 over a four-week period. In addition, women should report having VMS of moderate or severe rather than mild intensity. Women reporting fewer VMS than this, but who report night sweats that awaken them from sleep on two or more nights per week will also be included.
- Perimenopausal status either based on irregularity of menstrual periods, or by onset of new perimenopausal symptoms in women with regular periods.
- At least one menstrual period within 12 months of study enrollment
- Ability and willingness to complete the Daily Perimenopause Hot Flush Calendar recording instrument.
- Ability to understand, speak, read and write English.
- Women who are at high risk for breast cancer (ie first degree relative with breast cancer, known/suspected history of breast cancer) will be required to have a normal mammogram and clinical breast examination within 12 months of study enrollment.
Exclusion Criteria:
- VMS without perimenopausal etiology.
- Women who have had a hysterectomy and/or ovariectomy.
- Peanut allergy (because peanut oil is used in the progesterone formulation.)
- Current or recent (within the last 6-mos.) use of hormonal therapies (estrogen, progesterone, hormonal contraceptives, hormonal fertility treatments), or plans to initiate use during the study period. Two exceptions: women using progestin-releasing intrauterine device (IUD) will not be excluded as it is felt that level of hormone released will not have an effect on VMS and women taking very low-dose transdermal progesterone therapies who have VMS and meet inclusion criteria will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If enrolled, they will be required to continue and document use of this very low-dose hormone therapy throughout the entire trial.
- Planned pregnancy or fertility treatment during the study period.
- Women who are breastfeeding.
- Participants with a score greater or equal to 15 on the Personal Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Women assessed as needing further investigation and/or treatment for depression will be excluded.

I need to move some frames from one apiary to another and usually do this with wooden nuc boxes. Driving in the field and off road lanes always causes the frames to really bang against each other. Is there a trick of some sort, like a wooden wedge? or another method that others use so the frames, comb, and bees dont get smashed around?
Moving full hives mean that the frames are normally propolized in place. But pulling frames and using nuc boxes is a little different.


text: Has anyone had experience open feeding powdered pollen substitute? We feed patties in late fall and the winter but put powdered pollen sub on top of the frames in the hot weather because of the hive beetles. We are in a high humidity area and I am concerned that the dry pollen sub won't fare well in that environment. Also, some years we have plenty of early natural pollen but the bees still eat the patties and build up faster. It seems like they will not forage the powdered pollen sub if there is natural pollen.

How do I know which type of diaper to choose?
Aren't prefold inserts + wraps old-fashioned?
Can I put cloth on an itty bitty newborn?
Do I need a special washing machine or detergent for cloth diapers?
Okay, so I have my diapers. What else do I need?
Can I cloth diaper through the night?
Is there a reusable swim diaper?
Why should I choose organic cotton?
How can I prevent and/or treat diaper rash?
Newborn babies will generally go through 8-12 diapers in a 24 hour period. Since you dont want to be doing laundry every single day (to reduce laundering costs and to avoid wearing out your diapers too quickly), we recommend that you have at least 24 diapers enough for a non-stressful rotation. If you are using a diaper that needs a wrap, you should probably have at least 6 wraps.
Once your baby is a little older, at approximately 6 months, you wont have to change diapers as frequently. At this point, you can have fewer diapers in your rotation and still not have to do laundry too often. We recommend about 18 diapers, and 4 wraps (where applicable).
There is no single type of cloth diaper that is *the best*. There are so many different options because different people like different things so theres something for everyone! Dont worry about which type is the best overall, try to figure out which one might be the best for you.
Ask yourself a few basic questions to begin: do I prefer natural or synthetic fabrics? Is ease-of-use a priority for me, i.e. will a daycare worker or other caregiver need to learn the ropes? Do I want a diaper that I can use from birth to potty training? What is my budget?
Remember, if youre really not sure, sometimes variety is the spice of life you can mix n match to try lots of different types!
Prefold inserts are a modernized version of the old-fashioned flat, square diaper. Prefolds are tried and true theres a reason why theyve maintained their popularity over the years. Organic fabrics and contemporary wraps (super CUTE and NOT plastic!) keep this combo fresher than ever. Read more about the advantages of prefold inserts.
Absolutely! Depending on the size of your baby at birth, you may be able to start right off in a size small (prefolds & wraps), or in a one-size all-in-one (like the Easy Fit).
If your baby weighs less than 8 lbs at birth, or if you prefer a diaper that will fit your itty bitty baby more trimly, there are plenty of great options for newborn cloth diapering. Try a preemie prefold insert paired up with a newborn Super Brite wrap (4-9 lbs ideal for preemies or multiples) or with a Super Whisper Wrap (7-10 lbs). If you prefer an all-in-one (AIO), try the Tini Fit (5-12 lbs). Both of these options are teeny tiny and easy to use!
Todays cloth diapering parents have it way easier than your great-grandma probably did thanks to the innovation of flushable liners. Bio-soft liners will make your cloth diapering routine VERY easy. You simply lay the liner on the inside of the diaper. When baby poops, you lift out the liner, with the mess inside, and flush it down the toilet. No fuss, no muss!
Some folks prefer to use washable Fleece Liners for poop patrol instead, or to go the no-liner route by shaking solids into the toilet and rinsing out the diaper before putting it in a wet bag or pail.
Handy tidbit: babies who are breastfed exclusively have water-soluble poop. This means that you can simply toss the diaper into your wet bag or pail and wash normally no need for flushable liners or rinsing. Another breastfeeding bonus!
Many people who have tried both cloth and disposable diapers have found that cloth diapers are actually better at containing poopy blowouts!
Finding a good washing routine tends to be one of the more intimidating propositions for people who are new to cloth diapers. But believe us when we say it its NOT that hard! In fact, we would go so far as to say that its pretty darn easy. Check out our Very Simple Guide to Washing Cloth Diapers for more details. All the good stuff is in there how to wash, what to do about stains, what detergent to use, and more!
There are tons of cloth diapering accessories on the market: liners, boosters, inserts, soakers, sprayers and it might seem a little overwhelming to begin with. Our advice? Start simple. Most of those accessories cater to a specific need, so just get started with the diapers that you have, and if you run into a problem, then its time to see if theres a product out there that can help you. Newborn diapering doesnt usually require any extras, but when your baby gets older, you may find that you need to add some extra layers to your diaper to make it more absorbent. Thats when the liners, boosters, doublers (these are just different words for the same thing!) start to come in handy.
Back to basics: what you really need to begin:
If you're just beginning with cloth diapers, our Organic Cotton Diapering Kit is a good way to go - it has all the inserts, wraps and accessories that you need to get started. Just grab the box and go!
Newborn babies tend not to sleep through the night (hate to break it to you ), so nighttime diapering with a newborn is pretty much the same as daytime diapering. However, once your baby starts to sleep through the night (congratulations!), nighttime diapering usually requires some special attention, since you will need a super-absorbent diaper that can survive 8 hours of wetting! Dont fret there are cloth diapering solutions that can meet this challenge!
You may have to play around a bit before you find a combination that works well for you and your baby dont be afraid to experiment!
The Swimmi is a swim diaper designed for this very purpose! Your little one can swim like a fish, and you dont have to worry about the pool being emptied on his or her behalf! Easy to use and machine washable.
Organic cotton is hands down the greenest and most sustainable choice when it comes to cloth diapering fabrics. Organic cotton is grown without the use of fertilizers or pesticides. Growing cotton organically is environmentally sustainable: it protects water quality, conserves biodiversity, and reduces soil erosion. Not only that, organic cotton is very soft, very absorbent, and entirely free of toxic chemicals all very desirable qualities in a fabric that will be spending a lot of time in direct contact with babys tender skin!
Cloth diapers are more breathable than disposable diapers, and they tend to get changed more frequently, which means that most cloth diapered babies get less diaper rash, if any at all, than babies who are in disposables. Hurray!
That being said, babies in cloth diapers are not immune to diaper rash. The best way to prevent rashes is to change your babys diaper often as soon as it is soiled or wet, and to give babys bum some fresh air exposure from time to time. If you notice that your baby has developed a rash all of a sudden, it could be due to a detergent or urine residue in the diapers. Read more about residues and how to get rid of them.
If your baby develops a rash that you suspect may be an infection or fungus, you should consult with your health care provider.

Anderson's Blacksmith Shop & Public Armoury Reconstruction
Follow along as we rebuild six structures to show the site as it looked in the late 1770s when James Anderson was the Public Armourer for the new Commonwealth of Virginia.
Visit Reconstructed Armoury
Urgency of war prompts joint effort
The blacksmith shop and armoury reflects the activity present during the Revolution, with trades working together in support of the American war effort. The site re-creates the industrial complex owned and operated by James Anderson, appointed public armourer in 1776 by the General Assembly of the newly independent Commonwealth of Virginia. In the immediate wake of his appointment, Anderson began to enlarge his small, commercial blacksmithing operation into an extensive and diverse public manufactory.
The newly reconstructed main armoury building includes four blacksmith forges and the recently reconstructed kitchen. Reconstruction of the tin shop and several other buildings on the site will continue for another year. When complete, the site will include the armoury, the kitchen, a tinsmith's shop, an outdoor forge, a work shop, two storage buildings, a privy, a bake oven and a wellhead.
Coal fire heated iron bars
A blacksmith's forge consisted of a raised brick hearth outfitted with bellows to feed its soft-coal fire and a hood to carry away the smoke. The forge heated bars of iron yellow-hot. With his journeymen and apprentices, the blacksmith used sledges weighing as much as 12 pounds to hammer the heated bars into various shapes.
From steel, he made tempered cutting edges for axes and smooth faces for special hammers.
Items made for homes and other tradesmen
Blacksmiths in Williamsburg fashioned items from iron and steel for fellow tradesmen to use in their work and also made things for household use. Among the tools blacksmiths used were the following:
- forge
- anvil
- hammer
- tongs
- vise
- file
The reconstruction of Anderson's Blacksmith Shop and Public Armoury was made possible by a generous gift from Forrest E. Mars Jr.

Emily Maynard is the New "Bachelorette"
What do you think of Emily being the new "Bachelorette"? Good choice or bad? Leave a comment & share your thoughts!
8 comments:
It's kinda funny she would go on this show after she dumped Brad after watching him make out with all the other girls before he picked her. Can't wait to see her do the same thing and wonder back to Brad and see how hard it is once you fall for 3 or 4 guys. She was a total fake back then and kept using her child for excuses the whole time.
Hope she gets what she deserves, but to bad its going to hurt some guy in the process.
- February 13, 2012 at 2:29 PM
You couldn't be more wrong about Emily, it is called having morals. You have no idea what the reason was that the relationship ended. Only the two involved really know what happened. Who are you to say that she will hurt guys. I think she is the most genuine bachelor/bachelorette there has been on this show. I actually can not wait to see her season and I hope she finds love if anyone deserves it, it's her.
- February 13, 2012 at 5:13 PM
i am glad that Emily is the Bachelorette. I can't wait to watch. I hope she can find someone to love her and her daughter and they love him too.
Just want you all to be happy!!
I love that you put your little girl first. Most mamas don't know how to do that. Good luck and I wish you happiness..
- February 14, 2012 at 3:04 PM
Morals, you talk about morals, How can you go on this show and really have morals. When there is 25 guys looking to hook up with you, there are not to many people with morals present. Especially since your daughters grandfather is one of the richest men in America (Rick Hendrick).There morals are looking right at her pocket book. Also, it is fact she dumped Brad because he was showing so much affection to those last 3 or 4 girls, and she couldn't handle that while she watched the season unfold. My advice to anyone who wins that show is to never watch the season, because you don't need to watch what he does with the other women because you are the one who made it to the end so who cares.
So just enjoy the entertaining value the show gives you and watch her do the same thing all the other Bachelorettes and Bachelors have done.
- February 15, 2012 at 10:45 AM
she is a good person but she knew he was doing other women but she loved him and beging in the spot light is what she didnt like so why come back u think 2nd time we r going to leave u a lone i dont think so how ever it goes she will have some thing else to bitch about so they never stay with who they r with trisha and ryan r the only ones because they didnt let other get in the way they let love come 1st if u ask me i think we new people get away from others on the show i think some is riged to up ratings

For several months now it has appeared that consideration of the extension of various tax credits would not take place in Congress before the end of the year. But yesterday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) stated that it was his hope that certain tax credits should be extended this year as part of the payroll tax cut bill now being debated. Sen. Reid noted that Congress typically waits until the end of the year to extend them or, as was the case last year, extend them retroactively at the beginning of the following year. NPGA is strongly supporting the extension of the 50 cent-per-gallon tax credit for propane used in vehicles and forklifts, and also the tax credits for refueling infrastructure and vehicles.

Reviews of this property
Great apartment!
It was lovely to spend our holidays there.
All was perfect and as per description.
The flat is very clean, quiet,secure, beautifully furnished and has many amenities.
It's located in an excellent area, just in the centre of the city at few steps from S.Giovanni church.
The most amazing thing is that we had monuments of ancient Rome just in front of our window.
Bus stops just in front of the apartment and metro station at just few steps
Anyway the thing we loved most is that we could reach Colosseo and Fori Imperiali less than 25 minutes by feet.
The people, shopkeepers, cafe & restaurant proprieters around the flat were all friendly and helpful and there is a Fishmongers, Butchers and Greengrocers as well as a "Spar" supermarket within a couple of hundred yards.
The service provided by owner, Mr Alessio, was superb.
He made us feel like at home.
We are really satisfied and for sure it's the best accommodation you can choose if you want to visit the city.
Completely recommended!
It really deserve a 5 stars.
It's a really wonderful, delicious apartment. Very clean, comfortable and quiet.
All was perfect.
Owner is a lovely person and he really helped us a lot with all our requests.
The apartment is really located in the very centre of the city.
The bus stop is under apartment and the metro stop at just few steps.
Anyway the thing we loved most is that we could reach Colosseo and Fori Imperiali in just a few minutes by feet.
There are supermarkets, pharmacy, shops and very good restaurants just at the corner so we really enjoyed our time without wasting a single minute.
The most amazing thing is that we had monuments of ancient Rome just in front of our window.
We really loved our stay there and we hope to come back again.
The best apartment we ever found !
The apartment is located right at the bus stop, so it was easy to get to and from all the sights in Rome. There was some noise from the street and street youth, especially on weekends. The apartment was clean and rydelig and the owner was before the arrival very helpful with instructions on how to find the apartment.
Lejligheden er placeret lige ved busstop, så det var nemt at komme til og fra alle seværdigheder i Rom. Der var en del støj fra gaden og gadens unge, især i weekenden. Lejligheden var ren og rydelig og ejeren var inden ankomst meget behjælpelig med vejledning i at finde til lejligheden.
Our first experience in Rome is very positive. Through our Wimdu appar-partment regularly in a suburb of Rome. Location is fine from here excursions and walking distance to good restaurants. Very accurate and helpful host (Alessio) located on the agreements.
Onze eerste ervaring in Rome is
zeer positief. Via Wimdu ons appar-
tement geregeld in een buitenwijk van Rome. Locatie is prima om van hieruit
excursies te maken en op loopafstand goede restaurantjes. Zeer correcte en hulpvaardige host (Alessio) die zich aan de afspraken houdt.
House discreet location. Too many fragile ornaments for a house to rent. Do not forget the keys inside breast 'stay out. Owner polite.
Casa discreta posizione ottima . Troppi soprammobili fragili per una casa in affitto . Non dimenticate le chiavi dentro seno' rimanete fuori . Proprietario gentile.
A very clean and well presented apartment,excellent for exploring Rome.Bus directly outside and not far from mainline or metro stations.A very comfortable stay.
Hello, it's a really good home with plenty of space for four people! The location is also very good. The city of Rome is surrounded by a wall, the apartment is a five minute walk away from it. Thus much is within walking distance and good shopping.
es ist eine richtig gute Wohnung mit genügend Platz für Vier Personen!
Die Lage ist ebenfalls sehr gut.
Die Innenstadt von Rom ist mit einer Mauer umrandet, die Wohnung befindet sich fünf Minuten Fußweg davon entfernt.
Somit ist vieles zu Fuß zu erreichen und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten vorhanden.
It was a nice apartment and the host was very friendly. I would absolutely recommend this apartment for my friends. Since we were new for Rome, numerous information was provided by the host which really helped us during the journey.
Aufgrund des guten Preis-Leistungsverhältnisses und der unkomplizierten Buchung würden wir die Wohnung auf jeden Fall weiterepfehlen. Alessio antwortet sehr schnell, ist pünktlich, spricht ausreichend Englisch und hat uns bei jeder Angelegenheit weitergeholfen - auch wenn er am Ende versucht hat uns wegen eines beschädigten Lampenglases ganze 50 Euro abzunehmen (was allerdings mehr von der seltsamen Frau ausging, die ihn stets begleitete). Nach einiger Diskussion waren es dann doch nur noch 20 Euro...
Abgesehen vom diesem etwas unglücklichen Check-Out hat uns der Aufenthalt sehr gut gefallen! Die Wohnung ist zentral gelegen (Bushaltestelle vor der Tür) und auch die Metrostation (S.Giovanni oer Re Di Roma) sind nach etwa 10-15 Minuten gut zu erreichen. Wir haben bemerkt, dass nur 2 Minuten entfernt bereits an einer neuen Metrostation gebaut wird (Lodi). Für alle Gäste in der Zukunft ist das natürlich super!
Wenn man von den "antiqutären" (verwohnten) Möbeln, der schmuddeligen Badewanne und Badvorlegern absieht, hat man auf jeden Fall eine gute Wohnung!

Data from a gas-measuring flight undertaken yesterday at White Island by GNS scientists shows that levels of volcanic gases emitted from volcano are slightly higher than the levels measured last week. Overnight, the seismic activity has reverted to a continuous tremor and remains at a high level.
The Volcanic Alert Level remains at 1 and the Aviation Colour Code remains at Orange.
Volcano Technician Karen Britten said that although there appeared to be a muddy lake around the active vent, the area looked quite dry. During yesterday's flight she saw many explosions from the vent, but they were "not as visually spectacular" as those she observed last Friday.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas flux has increased from 1800 to 2000 tons per day, Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) flux from 366 to 600 tons per day and Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) flux is now 19 tons per day (previously, 15 tons/day). GNS scientists say it is quite likely that the increases in sulphur gases are caused by re-heating and movement of elemental sulphur in the hydrothermal system surrounding the new magma beneath the crater.
The higher gas fluxes do not suggest that a large eruption is imminent, but both the ongoing eruption of ash and rock and the strong seismic tremor indicate that White Island is still at an elevated state of unrest.
The rapid changes during the past few days are signs that explosions are possible at any time and could occur with little or no warning.
