"Assault Weapons" already require registration. They are all idiots.
Sent this to Fox News:
I was very angered and disappointed to see the hosts on 'Fox And Friends' this morning call for registation of assault weapons and a new assault weapons ban as the answer to mass shootings in schools. They also said the Vice President of the NRA, Wayne La Pierre, was a hypocrite for calling for armed policemen to be stationed in our nation's schools to protect the students. Bill O'Reilly has also called for registration of assault weapons with the FBI on his show 'The Factor'. I could not disagree more with the hosts' and O'Reilly's comments.
These type of comments are to be expected from Democrat propaganda networks like MSNBC, CNN and NPR. Since you have decided to join them and become a shill for gun control and the Democrat Party, I must regretfully cease to be a viewer of you network.

Despite more than a week of cleaning, Emmons Avenue's eastern end, a strip of waterfront condos, bungalows and boating clubs, remains in shambles.
We visited Emmons Avenue's two waterfront bungalow colonies earlier this week, and, though Hurricane Sandy destroyed several homes and left families for the streets, there had been no visits from FEMA, Red Cross or any examples of the volunteer frenzy other neighborhoods have received.
In the absence of outside help, neighbors banded together to help each other.
The day after the storm there was a "lot of laughing, a lot of crying," said Peggy Sigcha, resident of the Greenlawn Bungalow Colony, a grouping of 40 or so one- and two-story bungalows on the waterside of Emmons Avenue, near Batchelder Street. We met Sigcha while in the home of another resident, who preffered to remain anonymous for this article. Sigcha and her mother stopped by to drop off hot food for the neighbor, just one of the ways neighbors here are caring for each other in the wake of the storm.
"Your Jack-and-Cokes probably saved me the first night," Sigcha joked.
Like a handful of other residents of the colony, Sigcha chose to ride out the storm in her home, just two houses in from the waterfront. She said that Hurricane Irene only stirred up ankle-high water in the colony, and she thought it would be no different.
But it was. The waves crashed in from the southeast, tearing apart the colony's defunct boathouse, a decrepit wooden structure at the end of a 40-foot-long pier that collapsed and swept into the colony, crashing into its front-most houses.
"The first thing we saw go was the boathouse. The second thing we saw was a sailboat [that floated up the colony's alley]. It was coming right up in our yard," Sigcha said. She glanced away from the sailboat, she said, and when she looked back it was gone – and so was the corner of the house directly across the alley from her. "We think it took a sharp left and took out the house on the corner before going back out."
Additionally, two of the three houses closest to the water collapsed almost completely. The third, in the middle of a renovation, was saved – but the renovation will need to start anew.
"The debris was shoulder height, and the waves were like surfing waves," Singcha said. "Someone's roof landed on my deck. Someone's front door was on my roof."
Half the colony remained without power on Tuesday, but neighbors strung extension cords through homes to help set up dehumidifiers, lights and electric heaters. They also dodged Department of Buildings inspectors, who were booting those from unstable houses and telling others that jerry-rigged electrical systems were unacceptable.
While the Department of Buildings became ever present, the police did not. One resident complained of frequent looting. Several homeowners said that opportunists had gone through their belongings for days after the storm. They also witnessed groups of young men checking car door handles along pitch black Emmons Avenue. There was no police response, though they saw plenty of lights and sirens across the Bay in Manhattan Beach.
"We had no cops down here," said the anonymous resident. "We did not see police at all." He griped that the cops could have at least done more to comfort residents. "If you know there's going to be a communications blackout, reach out to the community and reassure them."
The resident said looting dropped off by itself, as some neighbors have returned and looters have taken all that's worth taking from other homes.
It's a similar story down the road at Port Sheepshead Bay at Webers Court, just south of Nostrand Avenue's terminus, a half-block long bungalow colony that ends in a small marina where visitors could rent jet skis, and where the landlord operated a small boat repair shop.
As in Greenlawn, every house flooded to about five feet of water in the first floor. Family heirlooms were lost, and the home nearest the water was boarded up on Monday.
And the repair shop? Shambles. It collapsed completely, and jet skis and boat parts were tossed over it like roses at a funeral, another Sheepshead Bay business lost to Sandy's wrath.
Still, the residents of these two waterfront bungalow communities say they plan to rebuild, not abandon. Many were already ripping out drywall and insulation, and even though the Department of Sanitation had already made a half dozen pickups, debris packed the curbs and alleyways.
Despite two evacuations in two years and widespread damage within their colony, residents are buckling down, not running away.
"We're staying," said the unnamed resident. "It's our neighborhood."

Hello all,
I took a peek at the hive yesterday and noticed that the bees are still alive and kicking. I thought I would give them some feed to kickstart the spring which will hopefully be here soon. I put the top feeder on, and usually the bees start feeding right away, this time they haven't started feeding on it yet. When I removed the top yesterday I noticed the bees were down low in the hive, how can I entice them up to feed? Are they still not ready to leave the ball, or is it because they aren't aware of the top feeder?
They were out flying around in the sun yesterday even though it was only around 50*.
I am actually a little bit surprised they made it through the winter.
Thanks, Ron

The new High Road Bridge over Long Run Creek in Lockport Township, Ill., is a unique structure disguised as an ordinary bridge tucked away in the scenic Des Plaines River Valley.
The old bridge was built in 1935 and had outlived its useful service life, having been categorized as both structurally deficient and functionally obsolete. To reduce future maintenance costs, its replacement contains the first permanent highway installation of the hybrid-composite beam (HCB), a technology developed by HC Bridge Co. that provides at least 100 years of service life with minimal or no maintenance.
The beams are composed of three main subcomponents: a fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) shell, compression reinforcement, and tension reinforcement. The compression reinforcement consists of self-consolidating concrete that is pumped into an arch conduit within the beam's shell; the tension reinforcement consists of high-strength steel prestressing strands that run along the bottom flange of the shell.
The shell protects the beam from salt corrosion and provides added structural capacity. The result is a bridge-framing member that's simple to design, manufacture, and construct — as well as one that's more lightweight and cost-competitive with conventional bridge-building materials.
In its pure form, fiber-reinforced plastic is as strong as steel and 10 times more flexible. The benefits of its light weight and corrosion-resistance are well-known, but until now bridges incorporating the material were generally four to 10 times more expensive than bridges built of conventional concrete and steel. Like other building materials, the material needed to find an efficient form.
It wasn't until 1879 that Francois Hennebique developed concrete structures with steel tension reinforcement; until then, concrete was only effective as a building material in compression. In 1907, Eugene Freyssinet designed the first concrete bridges to employ pre-stressed steel reinforcement. Each advance in structural engineering sought to employ a more efficient use of building materials, generally by combining them. Innovations have always been predicated on simple fundamental principals of structural behavior and willingness by the designer to deviate from traditional form.
Ninety percent lighter than pre-stressed concrete beams, the hybrid-composite beams offer considerable savings over traditional materials with respect to shipping and erection costs. These advantages make the HCB cost-competitive with conventional materials. All six girders for the two-lane, 58-foot-long bridge were shipped on one truck. Because of the combination of plastic, concrete, and steel, fewer quantities of each material are required, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint during manufacturing.
The beams can also be made continuous over several supports with simplistic splicing technology using the same materials and manufacturing processes.
Laboratory testing of a prototype beam at the Advanced Engineered Wood Composites Center at the University of Maine showed that the load-carrying capacity of the beam is almost twice the code-specified limit.
To satisfy American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials deflection requirements, the concrete deck for the bridge is made to act compositely with the HCBs, not only reducing live load deflections but also providing significantly increased strength: There's enough redundancy in the bridge that if its deck were to completely deteriorate, the bridge itself would still have sufficient capacity to carry the factored design load of 176,000 pounds.
The project was designed by the Chicago office of Teng & Associates Inc. in conjunction with the Lockport Township Highway Department and the Illinois DOT. All three parties worked closely to secure a $250,000 grant through the Innovative Bridge Research and Deployment program from the Federal Highway Administration.
The final cost of the project was $2.1 million, approximately 5% below the engineer's cost estimate.

Home Stretch, a first-time homebuyer workshop that takes participants through the entire home buying process, will be offered from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 10, at Central Lakes College in Brainerd.
Participants will learn about qualifying for a mortgage, financing a home, credit, real estate, the closing process, basic home maintenance and affordable mortgage products that may be available to first-time homebuyers.
Some affordable mortgage products, government loans, and down payment and closing cost assistance programs may require a buyer to receive a Home Stretch certificate.
Homebuyer education is also offered as an online course. "Framework" is a new online tool to prepare people for successful homeownership. Framework will provide the facts needed to become a knowledgeable buyer. Many lenders have approved Framework to meet homebuyer education requirements.
The Central Minnesota Housing Partnership, a nonprofit organization providing affordable housing services to the central region of Minnesota, coordinates the Home Stretch workshop. Participants will receive a completion certificate at the end of the workshop.
There is a $30 fee per household to participate in Home Stretch, and registration is required. To register contact Kelly at 320-258-0681. Visit www.cmhp.net for more info.

Life cycle diagram
Live animals
Amphibians are cold-blooded and lay their eggs in the water. Most amphibians have soft skin which easily absorbs water. This puts them in close contact with their surroundings and makes them susceptible to man-made toxins. This may explain why the number of amphibian species and the size of many amphibian populations have declined recently.
Amphibian – any cold-blooded, egg-laying vertebrate of the class Amphibia having gilled aquatic larvae and air-breathing, semiterrestrial adults; examples are frogs and toads, newts and salamanders and caecilians
Frog – any tailless, stout-bodied amphibian of the order Anura, including the smooth, moist-skinned frog species that live in a damp or semi-aquatic habitat and the warty, drier-skinned toad species that are mostly terrestrial as adults
Metamorphosis – a change in the form and often habits of an animal during normal development after the embryonic stage. Examples include a maggot changing into an adult fly and a caterpillar into a butterfly, and in amphibians, the changing of a tadpole into a frog.
Neoteny – juvenile characteristics retained in the adult organism, or sexual maturity in an organism still in its larval stage: also called pedogenesis
Paratoid – large wart-like glands on the side or back of a toad's head
Salamander – any tailed amphibian of the order Caudata that has a soft, moist, scaleless skin, typically aquatic as a larva and semi-terrestrial as an adult: several species are endangered
Toad – any of various tailless amphibians that are close relatives of the frogs in the order Anura and that typically have dry, warty skin and are terrestrial or semi-terrestrial

Re: [Article]-October 2011 Free Giveaway Winners - Mile2

I think most of the certification bodies will struggle with this quandary of making their certification valuable in the industry. I mean, MSFT still struggles with it and ... well ... they're Microsoft. PT certs are going to be niche to begin with so I wonder if HR has added Mile2 to their keywords at this point.

Infectious Diseases
Typically, newborns are tested for infectious diseases only if they show signs and symptoms. However, asymptomatic newborns may be screened for HIV or hepatitis B if their mothers have the disease or were not screened for the infection while pregnant. Some states require that all newborns be tested for HIV.
Human immunodeficiency virus is the virus that causes AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). The infection can pass from an infected mother to her child during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding. (See HIV Screening during Pregnancy.)
Almost all AIDS cases in children in the United States result from mother-to-baby transmission. If a mother with HIV does not receive treatment during the pregnancy, the child has a 1 in 4 chance of getting HIV. With timely treatment, however, fewer than 2% of children of infected mothers get the virus.
Thanks to aggressive screening and early intervention, the United States has seen a steady decline in new AIDS cases in children. The best way to protect the child's health is to detect the HIV infection during pregnancy, treat the mother with medication, and make birthing plans to help the baby avoid infection (such as a C-section rather than vaginal birth).
If the mother was not tested during the pregnancy or at the time of the delivery, the newborn can be screened and, if positive, treated shortly after birth. HIV testing has become routine prenatal care in this country; some states even require that all pregnant women or their newborns be tested.
- Screening the mother: All pregnant women in the United States should be counseled about HIV early in their pregnancy and receive voluntary HIV testing to protect the child's health. This is the recommendation of many groups, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
- Screening the baby: In the United States, if the mother's HIV status is not determined before or during pregnancy or during labor and delivery, health care providers recommend that the newborn be given an HIV test (see FAQ #2 here). In a few states, this is a requirement. Treatment begun quickly after birth can help to prevent a baby who was exposed to the virus from becoming infected.
Hepatitis B
It is recommended that a pregnant woman be screened for hepatitis B infection either before or early in her pregnancy, and again in the third trimester if she participates in activities that put her at increased risk, such as unprotected sexual contact or intravenous drug use. Infection with the hepatitis B virus causes an inflammation of the liver. It is important to detect active hepatitis B infections in pregnant women because newborns are especially vulnerable to developing chronic infection, which can over the course of many years cause progressive liver damage. If a hepatitis infection is detected in a pregnant woman, she can be monitored and the baby can receive treatment at birth to minimize the risk of developing hepatitis B.
With the advent of screening pregnant women for hepatitis B and the vaccination of newborns, the number of infected babies has fallen. However, a newborn may be screened if there is concern that the mother is at high risk of infection and/or she was not tested during the pregnancy.

Looking for a yeast to make mead, is there any yeast the more people prefer to use over others?
Anyone use Red Star Premier Cuvée? How was it?
Looking for a yeast to make mead, is there any yeast the more people prefer to use over others?
Anyone use Red Star Premier Cuvée? How was it?
lavin 71b-112 is the best yeast.
Personally I think Lalvin D-47 is the best for any mead that you want to be able to drink in less than a couple months. It burns fast and clean and is usually mostly done fermenting by the second week.
It also leaves it somewhat sweet which I like, which is not to mean that it doesn't get hot, I often get around 18% alcohol with my batches.
Thank you all.
I will try all 3
My go-to for mead will now and forever be the cotes de blanc. I've tried the D-47, but the best meads I've done have been from the cotes. I tend towards sweet meads (16ish lbs of honey for a 5-gallon batch), and I let them cellar for 6 months before opening them.
I used EC-1118 for a cyser that bubbled for several months in my cool/cold attic last winter. I avoid fast fermentation.
Trying to think inside the box...
I just did a faster ferment with 71b-1122 because the brewspace was warmer. A tad over seventy. Amazing how a few degrees warmer can speed it up! I think the majority of the fermentation is done in four days! It will be drinkable and good in a couple months. D-47 would have done the same thing, but if I started my mead a month from now, my basement would have cooled off 5 degrees and it would produce nasty garbage in cool temps. the original post is an impossible question! I am making a cyser with alfalfa honey and a little bit of raisens and dates. That is a radically different mead than the traditional, a panty remover I have sitting plotting evil in a carboy that is a product of ec-1118. It will taste nasty for a couple years and then the honey will come back and it will be a fine mead ready to be bottled. Get Kenn Schramm's The Compleat Meadmaker. It will give you a basic education and a point of departure for more technically complex brewing. It is like anything else, doing something is not the same thing as doing it well. That takes a little study.
EC-1118 is our go to for higher SG, Lavlin KIV-1116 is also very good. Why are your meads taking so long to age out? We have been adding nutrients and things like Fermocel P that help the yeast out a little and the fermentations go very smooth around 70F. Mostly we have been making fruit meads with black raspberries, blackberries or elderberries. When we get enough honey (1st year beekeeper, 16 year winemaker) our first goal is to make a black raspberry mead and then a straight mead old fashioned style comb and all squished together. WVMJ
Meadmaking with WVMJ at Meads and Elderberry Winemaking
I use Lalvin D-47 for most of my meads with good results. EC-1118 will tolerate up to 18% alcohol so either start with a really high SG and go for a powerful mead or plan to backsweeten. I haven't tried 71B but that one has malolactic fermentation activity so will reduce acidity somewhat (good for some fruit meads). I've used Montrachet for a spice mead several times based on recipe suggestions, and it works well albeit with a slightly slower start than D-47.

Snowden's message
Snowden's message
Edward Snowden just left Hong Kong for parts unknown.
It's claimed he should've stayed in the U.S. if he wanted to be a whistleblower, and had evidence of government wrongdoing. This sounds good on paper, but in actuality some people in government fear having their actions revealed to the people.
We have government that ignored warnings of a Minneapolis FBI agent that may have stopped 9-11.
We have government spending trillions of dollars with the private sector, "privatizing" much of our defense (for profits!), and that proved a complete waste of money. After spending trillions of dollars, it couldn't even protect the Pentagon building.
Women soldiers are raped in the military every day. When they "blow the whistle," they're labeled as troublemakers and punished. Shouldn't we at least defend our own soldiers? "Support our troops"?
Ninety percent of the people wanted gun (violence) control legislation; 1.5 percent (NRA) opposed. Government defeated legislation.
Roughly a third of our legislators belong to ALEC, American Legislative Exchange Council. In "exchange" for support, legislators are handed cookie-cutter legislation to pass in each state. The legislation isn't brought by the people; it's brought from the shadows by ALEC, a "privately" funded group of corporate interests wishing to make money off our government, rather than work for it.
This is part of the roots of the great "gridlock" in Washington. It's the basis of the so-called Tea Party movement. It's what George H. W. Bush referred to as the New World Order: almost complete control of our government by corporations. Almost the exact definition of fascism. All that's missing is for someone "charismatic" to come along.
If Mr. Snowden intended to harm our country, wouldn't he have quietly sold to a highest bidder, like any good capitalist? I think he felt U.S. people need to wake up.

Where I stayed
Once again, we aimed for a sunset, but were once again denied by the clouds.
Our campground is not exactly in the town centre, but not far either (by our standards). It is about � hours walk to the town centre, so we decided to walk in, rather than drive.
Our choice for dinner was Giuseppe's, an Italian restaurant
A fabulous meal, but filled us to the brim. Thankfully we had the � hour walk home!! For once, I actually wished we had to go further!!!! I am still stuffed now, about 2 hours later.... but am slowly digesting!!! Somehow.... I have a feeling I will be visiting the Cracked Crab for lunch tomorrow!!! Hahahahahahaa!!!
Oh... beautiful campgrounds here, by the way. We have the tent up and hope we will have an even better night than last night!

Bozeman High School to offer new classes
BOZEMAN, Mont. - Bozeman High School students will have the chance to sign up for some new classes next year and they're not your typical reading, writing and arithmetic.
New courses include project-based learning media and marketing, technology and leadership where students learn leadership skills while creating webinars, video conferences and presentation software and GATE Geometry, for students who want a more in-depth and challenging course.
Student Josh Powell says the new classes take the school in a cool, new direction.
"I think it allows them to branch out to what really interests them. There's going to be a psychology class and some more music classes so, they're able to find what their passion is in life," says Powell.
His friend Courtney Yovich agrees.
"I think it's really great that they're offering new things for kids to kind of figure out where they want to take their career, going into college even. It's nice that there's options," says Yovich.
Yet, for Yovich, there's a catch. She's a senior this year.
"If you weren't graduating, would you sign up for a couple of these classes?" I asked.
"Oh, absolutely," says Yovich.
Aunica McCullough says she's excited about the new opportunities.
"I want to work kind of on a TV network, preferably sports...So, definitely some of the technical ones are the ones that would help me get there and be more prepared for later," says McCullough.
Folks with Bozeman Schools say the new classes will help to ensure students are college and career ready.
"I think it's going to prepare them better for life outside of high school, whether that's going to college or whether it's stepping out of the doors and being competitive in the work force," says Bozeman High School Principal Ken Gibson.
Gibson says he hopes the new opportunities will help students to become more engaged in what they're really passionate about.
"Kids seem to want to do things more if the can engage in it and if it's something that they really want to do," says Gibson.
Gibson tells us they will also require an English U.S. History combination course for all juniors.
The class has been around for several years but this is the first time it will be a requirement.
Folks with the school say, once students sign up, the budget will be shifted to accommodate students' selections. All courses are dependent on sufficient number of student requesting the course and for course materials.

Hi all,
Got some new parts the other day! (It's been a long time. . . I've been saving $$$ lately :) ) I got some vac-formed FP knee armor and a cod piece.
Here's some pics of the knee parts being assembled. I didn't take any pics of the pieces in their "raw" form, as I'm sure most everyone is familiar with what vac-pulls look like. Clean up didn't take much time at all. The parts are reeeaaaally nice pulls! Very clean and shaped very well.
There are 3 parts for each knee; the main knee pad, the inner flat rectangle part, and the outer dart housing. I followed FP's tutorial (sent to me by the individual I bought the parts from), making sure to get each part shaped correctly, then assembly was pretty simple! I used some styrene shims to brace the connections a bit, and secured the parts with super glue. They will be reinforced later with some epoxy.
I still have to form the dents. I'm just looking for some type of tool the right shape to press the dents in once I heat up the plastic.
More pics as I start painting!

By Russell L. Moore, provost
Earlier this semester, the Chancellor's Executive Committee approved a non-smoking policy for the CU-Boulder campus. The policy, which will take effect Feb. 1, mandates a no smoking campus beginning Aug. 19, 2013. The decision was made in the best interests of promoting a safe and healthy campus, and represents years of policy research, campus surveys and studies of best practices in American higher education.
In the first phase of the policy's implementation, the campus will focus on policy awareness and resources for those who wish to quit smoking. In the spirit of that effort, I wanted to include the following Q&A to address some of the basic issues involved in implementing this important new policy.
Thank you for your attention and support for a healthy and safe campus.
Why is the campus moving to a no smoking policy?
CU-Boulder has a responsibility to promote a healthy campus and to support and improve the health and wellness of our students, faculty and staff. Over 1,100 colleges and universities have adopted a smoke-free policy (including the Anschutz Medical Campus), so CU-Boulder is not alone on this initiative.
When will the no smoking policy take effect?
The Boulder Campus No Smoking Policy will be in place Feb. 1, 2013, with a period of education and acclimation until Aug. 18. Beginning with the fall semester of 2013, smoking will not be permitted on campus.
Where can I find resources to quit smoking?
A number of resources will be available to individuals who wish to quit smoking. The Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP) is hosting a series of "Getting Ready to Quit: Smoking Cessation" workshops, support groups and individual counseling sessions throughout the spring semester. The next workshop meets on Monday, Feb. 4 at noon in UMC 425, and the next support group starts Feb. 27 at noon in UMC 353. For more information and to register, visit the FSAP Work-life Workshop and Group website or call the FSAP general number, 303-492-3020.
Community Health offers free, confidential, one-on-one tobacco cessation counseling to students. Through counseling, students will be able to assess their tobacco use, create a plan to quit including setting a quit date, establish coping strategies, and get support throughout the quit process. To receive free tobacco cessation counseling, please contact the Community Health office at 303-492-2937 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
What is included under the policy?
"Smoking," as used in this policy, means smoking any substance, including but not limited to, tobacco, cloves, or marijuana. "Smoking products" include but are not limited to all cigarette products (cigarettes, bidis, kreteks, etc.) and all smoke-producing products (cigars, pipes, hookahs, etc.).
How will the policy be enforced?
As many institutions have done, the primary means of enforcement will be community-based, however, existing processes for policy violations will be used once the prohibition of smoking is in effect Aug. 19.

Stopping Obsession of Trophies
Ok, if you look at my signature, I'm a bit of a trophy nut. Is that ok?
I don't really know. I remember how I used to play with my PS One and PS2 games for fun. And when I discovered trophies, I developed an obession of them. Is there any cure for this?

It just means you are a completionist by nature, theres not much you can do for it.
I remember playing games for hours, doing NOTHING, just for the sake of play.
After trophies, it seemed like if I wasnt working toward something I was wasting time....its kind of ironic.

If you don't look at the trophy list, and have trophy notifications disabled, you won't know how to get trohpies, or when you get them, so you can just play the **bleep** game.

Reviews of this property
The House is located in a quiet and safe neighborhood and it is strategically situated next to Melrose Avenue with walking distanse to Hollywood Walk of Fame and Beverly Hills. But you need a car in L.A to get around anyway. The house is one of two apartments in a large house and you can hear your neigbours very well, especially if they are a having a party. The house is quite old and needs renovation, f.ex. is the heating system in the living room not reparable - no problem during most of the year, but quite cold during winter time, so the owner had to bring extra owens. The house has limited power capacity, so you have to be careful when you put all electricity on. The house is large an can easily host a family with 6+ and the owner brings extra beds as needed. For shorter stays and also during summer period, the house is probably great to rent.
good stay in Los Angeles. a nice house but there are some problems such as plumbing ... and when you are in this house, you should at least make minimum noise because the neighbors can hear you and the floor is made of wood so be discreet. well if we spent our vacation in Los Angeles, especially Hollywood is not far from the house! the car is required to visit in Los Angeles!

Big and clean apartment (1st floor of a house), located in a pleasant residential area, in a quite central location to visit LA. The neighborhood is also convenient with the farmers' market, the Grove and many stores.
Perfect for 4 people, even 6 would be possible.
It was a great experience and a great stay at your place.
I will come again.
spacious and very clean apartment.
Apartment well located in a nice residential area. We will return with pleasure.
appartement spacieux et très propre.
Appartement bien situé dans un joli quartier résidentiel. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir.
It was impossible to contact the owner; she never answered our emails or phone calls. Finally got an email (After wimdu got involved) telling us that the key was in secure box by the door with a code for the box: Hellllo!!! the box was behind a locked screen door , impossible to get it. It took 1 1/2 hrs to sort this out on arrival after a long day in the air. A maintenance man finally open the door for us; we found him in a garage in the backyard. The place was spacious but property was questionnable; there was dust everywhere and it was obvious that the cleaning was done at a minimum.
Apartment cute and great location, no kitchen but microwave fridge coffee machine and toaster solve every problem, complete and functional in every respect, we had a small problem and solving it propritaria we responded immediately to ' instant .... for sure if I return the risceglierei again !!!
Appartamento carinissimo e posizione straordinaria, non c'è la cucina ma il microonde il frigo la macchina del caffè e il tostapane risolvono ogni problema , completo e funzionale sotto ogni aspetto, abbiamo avuto un piccolissimo problema e la propritaria ci ha risposto immediatamente risolvendolo all'istante....di sicuro se dovessi tornare lo risceglierei di nuovo!!!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We were given a different house as the photos show, I believe the owner has more than one property in this area.
The house is spacious, the furnitures are old but workable. We arrived after 5pm but the cleaner has just began to clean the house, which wasn't very enjoyable as we had to wait for more than 1 hour to actually check in.
Overall it's alright although there are still lots of things can be simply improved. Good for group of 4 or more to stay.
Angie's place was great !!

Starting Position: Sit with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor / mat. Outstretch your arms behind you with your palms flat on the floor / mat and fingers pointed away from your body. Adjust your position to distribute your weight evenly between your feet, butt and arms. Keep your back supported in a relatively flat position and head aligned with your spine. Do not allow the back to round or arch throughout the exercise.
Gently exhale. Slowly slide your butt forward toward your feet without moving your hands. This should create a stretch through your biceps with some stretching in the front of the shoulder. Push yourself forward to the point of tension in the stretch, but never bounce or push to a point of pain. Hold this position for 15 - 30 seconds. Return to your starting position and repeat 2-4 times.
Exercise Variation: This stretch can become more dynamic by performing slow, controlled movements to complete 1 set of 5 - 10 repetitions, holding the stretched position for 1 - 2 seconds.To maximize the benefits of a stretch and reduce the potential for injury, it is important to stretch only to the point of tension, avoid bouncing, and to control movement at other segments of the body. During this stretch, avoid any change of position of your spine (i.e., avoid arching or slumping).

baby-wipes-- used after sex with someone who is not your boy/girlfriend for the purpose of not getting caught.
After we screwed, I brushed my teeth twice, washed my hair twice and took a shower twice but stilled smelled like sex. Good thing I had some cheater wipes to get rid of any obvious evidence that could be used against me.

" Success is never final, but failure can be " B.P.
Very, very close to what Beatty got.
Everyone has been alluding to the fact that he has started to break down physically, but I'm not really sure what his physical issues are.
He has been relatively healthy, except for last season when he went down with a torn tricep?
If he is healthy and gets back to his form from a couple years back, very good move by the Rams. Now they can move Saffold back to the RT position. Sam Bradford is probably a little happier this morning---LOL!!
If tehy can add another piece to their offense ie: a quality WR, they could be competing with the Niners and Seattle this coming season.

With a staff of 276, doesn't Auckland Council's "economic growth agency," Ateed have someone on hand to check the facts, before releasing the major report it commissioned in conjunction with the Government, on New Zealand's Competitiveness.
I'm not suggesting the questionable claims that Wellington is, and "pre-earthquake Christchurch" was, a more liveable city than Auckland, should have been censored. But surely factual clangers used to help support this opinion, such as Auckland "has no art museum of international importance," should have been queried. If only to spare the author's blushes.
True, the council-owned Auckland Art Gallery lacks the Rembrandts and the Van Goghs of a major European or American gallery. But even if it had a few, they're hardly going to be the bait to attract overseas tourists to Auckland. What does single Auckland Art Gallery out from the rest of the world, is its contemporary and historic New Zealand art, which is by far the best collection in the world.
Also, up the hill at the Auckland Museum is housed what the museum modestly claims is one of the two most important collections of Maori carvings in the world. In the same building is the world's most important collections of ethnic musical instruments and Maori cloaks, along with a major fleet of "obsolete" Pacific canoes and other Pacific holdings.
Obviously New Zealand and Pacific art and artefacts don't rank high in Hong Kong-based report author economic guru Michael Enright's world vision. But surely the whiz kids at Ateed, who are supposed to be facilitating Auckland's economic growth explosion by encouraging tourism and the like, should have highlighted his blinkered vision with their marker pens, and called on him to explain himself further.
Still, when it comes to major events Ateed is just as bad when it comes to culture. It is totally obsessed with sport. If there's not a ball to kick, petrol to burn, or oceans to play in, the Ateed blinkers can't see its economic value. That's why it resolutely ignores the Auckland Arts Festival, which bursts back to into life again on Wednesday for 19 days of concentrated fun and culture of the non-sporting kind.
Elsewhere in the world, arts festivals are a mainstay of city tourism plans. But the best Ateed can manage is to gently flirt with ethnic celebrations such as Diwali, Pasifika and the Lantern Festival.
It's as though Ateed goes along with the nonsense expressed in the Enright report, that Auckland is little better than a cultural desert.
Cultural activity has enjoyed a steady blossoming over the past 20-odd years. True, for the artists the financial insecurity lives on but for consumers of theatre, music, dance and the visual arts, Auckland is the capital of the country's artistic world. Enhancing this development is the security that comes with steady Auckland Council funding, guaranteed by the Auckland Regional Amenities Funding Act.
What Auckland's cultural scene does lack, when it comes to Ateed and Aucklanders in general, is a true appreciation of the goodies that are on offer on their doorsteps.
From time to time, I've gently mocked Wellingtonians for perpetuating the Big Lie that they live in the cultural capital. What I didn't appreciate was how deeply ingrained the myth has become, both in Wellington and Auckland.
The recent Nielsen Quality of Life Survey, funded by the big six city councils, asked residents whether they agreed they lived in a culturally rich and diverse arts scene. In the case of Wellington, 90 per cent agreed, 39 per cent of the total, agreeing "strongly". But only 7 per cent of Auckland strongly agreed the same was true of their city, while another 32 per cent just "agreed". Only the residents of the Wellington dormitory town of Hutt were less enthusiastic.
It's as though Wellington's Big Lie has brainwashed not just its own citizens, but the majority of Aucklanders as well. Of course Auckland Council and its agencies like Ateed don't exactly help. At Festival time in Wellington, the streets are alive with banners and lamp-post decorations promoting the upcoming event. Successive mayors talk it up. Here, the only promotional banners I've spotted so far, are a few fluttering away in Aotea Square.
As for Mr Enright, and the handsomely rewarded bosses at Ateed - seven on salaries between $150,000 and $240,000 - it's time they got out over the next three weeks and discovered the artistic oases in the so-called cultural desert. Then get promoting.

HOW TO Get Organic Braids, By Michael Shaun
Michael Shaun, Alterna Artistic Director, created one of the most beautiful finishes shown during New York Fashion Week, created for the Nonoo fall/winter 2013 Collection.
"It's all about a British girl out in the woods," he says. "She's hunting, running, experiencing nature. But she is still luxurious. Her hair has branch like texture and the lengths are finished with uneven braids. It is perfect for her." Shaun calls the look "Organic Braids". "It's very forest chic," he says. "No more rubber bands. It's beautiful."
It's very difficult to describe how Shaun created the braids, but this video demo is quite helpful. Here is a simple breakdown:
1. Prep hair with Caviar Styling Prep.
2. Take a large section and pull out from the head.
3. Place a jumbo iron at mid section.
4. Figure eight the section around the iron, unilizing the clamp (you can see this easily in the video)
5. Gently release the imperfect curl with the branchlike texture. Spray with Caviar Working Spray.
6. Subdivide the section and wrap the sections into each other braiding internally. (Again, go to the video...it's much easier to see there).
7. Hold the end of the section and roush up, allowing the section to fall naturally.

Video: Obama salutes Navy "corpse-man"
posted at 5:20 pm on February 4, 2010 by Allahpundit
A ticky-tack mistake, but then so was Bush's pronunciation of "nuclear" and the left had fun with that. As always with this sort of gaffe, it resonates to the extent that it appears to confirm a suspicion about the person that uttered it. Bush was supposedly a dummy, ergo "nu-cu-lar" caught on; Martha Coakley was out of touch with voters, ergo the Curt Schilling thing had legs; The One is a dovish Ivory Tower egghead with no military background, ergo we've gotten half a dozen e-mails about this in the past few hours. Look on the bright side, though: At least he's trying.
I can't believe that a guy with a Harvard Law degree wouldn't know how to pronounce "corps," so I'm guessing some dumb staffer in charge of TOTUS decided to try to "help him out" by typing the phonetic pronunciation — incorrectly — into the machine. And in true Ron Burgundy fashion, O read it as is right off the 'prompter. You stay classy, Navy corpse-men! Click the image to watch.

SECC area champion offers tips for success
By Lynn Gosnell
Special Projects Writer
(Sept. 26, 2006)--Last year, Kelly Jo Stephens, UTSA administrative services officer, led the biology department to 100-percent participation in the State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC).
How did she do this? By employing a personal touch, engaging her department in the cause and concocting some very appealing goody bags. In other words, she got it down to a science.
In the campus SECC organization, those who serve as Area Champions, as Stephens did, are the key contacts for organizing the workplace giving program in their respective areas or departments.
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
At a university as large as UTSA, more than 150 Area Champions are needed to organize and distribute information about local, national and international charities and causes that can benefit from this campaign.
To date, several departments or areas are still without these key contacts. The campaign runs Oct. 3-Nov. 10. To sign up in your area, contact Albert Carrisalez, SECC chairman, at (210) 458-5138.
Those who donate their time to this worthwhile effort will receive training and support from faculty and staff experienced in these campaigns. The first Area Champion orientations were Friday, Sept. 22 at the 1604 Campus. An additional session is at 8 a.m., Thursday, Sept. 28 in the Durango Building Southwest Room (1.124) at the Downtown Campus.
Here's how Stephens made her department one of the 100 percenters.
- TIP #1: Consider the personal touch.
"Every employee in the department will at one time or another during the course of a month be in the office for one thing or another. I decided to keep their packets in my office and speak with them one-on-one," she said.
- TIP #2: Remind people that many UTSA faculty, staff and students benefit from these charities.
"I think that many were struck by my telling them that we have UT employees who utilize the very charities helped by the campaign."
- TIP #3: Don't waste people's time. Be a knowledgeable resource and offer assistance when needed.
"I still say that the easier and less time consuming you can make it for someone to donate, the more likely they will be to donate," Stephens said.
- TIP #4: You're never too old for a goody bag.
Stephens created thank-you bags that contained candy bars, snack cakes, sticky pads, sharpie markers, highlighters, UTSA pencils and pens. Each bag contained a thank-you note. "They were quite a hit," Stephens said. "This year I have yet another surprise reward planned."
- TIP #5: Send email, but not too much e-mail.
"These updates could become very tiring very quickly," Stephens noted.
- TIP #6: Be creative.
Stephens asked staff and faculty to supply a new synonym for the word wallet in her updates. "I had tons of responses. I would then send out an email update with a new synonym for wallet every day."Stephens is serving once again as an Area Champion. "I guess you could say that what I found most effective was to approach the campaign as something we are all in together."

Femininity Through the Eras: Afro, Flat Top, Bob and Blowout
Peter Prosser started in hairdressing at the early age of 15. "It was my father's idea," says Prosser. "He suggested that hairdressing was a good career choice as people would always need a hair cut." Today, Prosser is celebrating 50 years in the hairdressing industry after successfully developing seven salons over three decades. His company, Peter Prosser Hairdressing in West Sussex, UK, reflects his determination, innovation and dedication to provide salons of exceptional standards. Working on the salon floor five days a week and looking after an average 12 clients a day, Prosser spends a great deal of time with his loyal clientele, as well as training his staff.
In his newest collection "Anniversaire," the styles start in the 1960s and move forward to capture the iconic trends up the 21st Century. The collection was computed in black and white to engage a timeless element, such as the iconic styles themselves. "A variety of skills were used throughout the day ranging from using tiny perm rods to curl and create the beautiful afro," says Prosser. "Perfect blow drying was needed for the precise pageboy. Plenty of teasing and pinning was incorporated into the uptown girl (sunglasses) creating a bespoke 'hair up' for the 90s/2012 look."

I do wish the NRA would endorse an protest of some sort. im afraid some idiot will bring a gun a the cops will make a issue an the media will make it a huge issue about gun nuts.
right now very few aside form those on the net know about it an nobody wants to be they only guy there with a sign. IMO The nra needs to contact its meambers an put there stamp of approval on it. few ads in the local papers would not hurt or a mass emailing. aside from those like us who are on th net daily who is going to know about it????
it may take a little more time , the word needs to get out more and the NRA and other organizations need to get involved.

The Big Free – celebrating 10 years of free museum admission - Thursday, 1 December 2011
Three of Yorkshire's major tourist attractions are celebrating the 10th anniversary of free admission to national museums today (December 1) by pledging, "We're free and plan to stay that way" and by bringing three very different parts of their collections together to mark the occasion – a steam locomotive, a knight in full armour and an iPad!
The Royal Armouries, Leeds, The National Media Museum, Bradford, and the National Railway Museum, York, all play a central role in attracting people, school children and tourists to the region and say free admission is central to their long-term policy and provides a major boost to visitor numbers.
The Government introduced free admission to national museums in December 2001, as part of a key pledge to make the national heritage accessible to all and to boost the UK tourist industry.
Peter Armstrong, director at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, said,
"It is absolutely right that people can visit national museums and see their country's heritage as often as they like, without having to worry about admission charges…Our visitor numbers jumped by nearly 100,000 in the first year of free admission. Our visitors come from all walks of life – including thousands of families with children – and we pride ourselves on providing a great free day out, that's both enjoyable and educational."
Colin Philpott, director of the National Media Museum said,
"Free entry has contributed to our success over the last 28 years and helped us to become one of the most visited Museums outside London. Yorkshire's national museums bring both cultural and economic benefits to the region and we are delighted to be celebrating free entry with the Royal Armouries and the National Railway Museum."
Emma Farley, Marketing & PR Manager at the National Railway Museum, said,
"We are thrilled to say that in the past 10 years, just under 8million people have visited the National Railway Museum and enjoyed access to the National Collection for free. With our ever changing programme of free events and exhibitions, we hope to attract even more visitors over the next decade."
The "Big Free" have seen significant boosts to their visitor numbers as follows:
The Royal Armouries in Leeds is Britain's oldest museum and home to the national collection of arms, armour and artillery. The first national museum to move its HQ from London, the Royal Armouries also has UK sites at the White Tower, within the Tower of London, and at Fort Nelson in Hampshire. It's also the first UK museum to have opened a permanent branch in the US.
The Leeds museum is a multi-million pound purpose-built building. It houses a large part of the national collection of arms and armour, and displays over 8,500 objects throughout its five themed galleries – War, Tournament, Self Defence, Hunting and Oriental. In the past 10 years, it has attracted approximately 2.8 million visitors. During the first year of free admission, numbers increased from 185,710 to nearly 281,000 – an increase approaching 100,000 in a single year. For more information, visit www.royalarmouries.org
The National Media Museum in Bradford, opened as the National Museum of Photography, Film & Television in 1983 with the remit to explore the art and science behind images and image-making, and has since become one of the most visited UK museums outside London. With the aim to be the best museum in the world for inspiring people to learn about, engage with and create media, it draws from more than 3.5 million objects in its National Photography, Television, Cinematography and New Media Collections to create special exhibitions, interactive galleries and activities for families and adults. It also organises three major film festivals each year – Bradford International Film Festival, Bradford Animation Festival and Fantastic Films Weekend, and is home to Europe's first IMAX cinema screen.
It has always offered free admission and has attracted an average of 650,000 visitors per year over the past 10 years. For more information, visit www.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk
The National Railway Museum in York covers over 200 years of railway history and its collections include over 100 locomotives , some 250 items of rolling stock and thousands of other objects – from posters and tickets to uniforms and silverware. Visitors can enjoy a fun, family day out with plenty to do for the kids – including an action-packed annual programme of special events and exhibitions. Since the introduction of free admission, just under 8 million people have visited the National Railway Museum – with visitor numbers ranging from 650,000 to just over 900,000 a year. Prior to December 2001, visitor numbers averaged 450,000. For more information visit www.nrm.org.uk
The news that free admission has boosted visitor figures was welcomed by Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire.
He said, "This is excellent news for three of our major attractions. Yorkshire is bucking national tourism trends and moving forward into 2012 we are certain visitors will continue to be attracted by the rich variety of choice and excellent value our magnificent county provides."

I have plans to re-queen my lone backyard hive with a northern bred queen around the first of June. My plan for the "old" queen that came with a package this spring is to start an observation hive using a nuc-style observation hive like the one Brushy Mtn sells. The plan is for it to reside in my backyard also. I have read up on the re-queening process and I am comfortable with the removal of the old queen and introduction of the new but those methods assume a queenless hive or one that will be "offed" once she is successfully replaced.
I am looking for advice on how to conduct the queen removal/relocation and replacement with these fairly unique plans in mind. Is it as simple as taking the old queen with a couple frames worth of bees and brood and putting them in a prepared nuc box and properly introducing the new queen to the big hive. How far away will the nuc have to be from the big hive? Will bees placed in the nuc want to return to their old home? Will bees from the big hive smell their old queen and try to join her in the nuc hive?
We should have a very good flow going here by the first of June if that has any bearing.
