Museum of Osteology Mission
The mission of the Museum of Osteology is to provide quality educational opportunities to area schools, groups, and the general public. The exploration of the form and function of the skeletal system opens the door to understanding. It is the belief of this museum that understanding and education leads to appreciation of the natural world and, ultimately, to its conservation.
"In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught."
Baba Dioum
What People are Saying ...
"My daughter thought it would be boring, but ended up loving it. The variety of specimens and being able to compare different animals was fun, as well as the the floor displays. She was amazed as how big an elephant skull was compared to her overall size. I was excited to go, but thoroughly impressed with the variety and loved the pathology portion. Completely worth it."
"The kids didn't even want to go to your museum, but once we were there we couldn't get them to leave. They really enjoyed the scavenger hunt, I don t think they even realized they were learning. We had a blast. Very cool place you have. I am pretty sure it's the most amusing, thought provoking, educational, odd, amazing, mind boggling thing I have ever done in Oklahoma. Thank you for sharing this most unusual collection with us."
"I have visited the Museum of Osteology three times. It's an awesome Museum, interesting, educational, with a great set-up and environment. Just bought a yearly membership, and I am going to take my grand-daughter this weekend so I can show her the difference between a femur and a rib bone. I love it there."

It has been a couple of weeks later and my family still talks about it. My 15 year old daughter now wants to become an osteologist. To top it off, many museums are all about the money. Here, we find a great museum that has low entry fees and even lets you take pictures You even gave us a military discount We will be back."
"We have gone all over Oklahoma this summer, and this was our favorite place so far! It is a hidden treasure."
"When you think of a collection of bones you probably think 'gross'. This experience is far from gross and they have complete bones- from human, humpback whale, giraffe, bats, mice, etc...."
"This was my second visit to the Museum of Osteology. It is the most fascinating and informative museum I have ever visited. It is up to date and the presentation of the exhibits is creative and amusing and educational at the same time."
"The staff was so friendly and helpful. This place is a hidden gem and should be visited by all."

Birmingham City will visit Emirates Stadium for the first time on Saturday, hoping that perhaps a change of venue might just mean a change in fortune against Arsenal. The Blues have not left the red side of north London with all three points for 50 years and having won just twice on the road all season, the omens don't look good. One of those wins came at White Hart Lane, and under Alex McLeish the Midlands outfit are not to be under-estimated. This season Arsenal.com will be identifying the key battles for each Premier League game and bringing you all the statistics and information a fan could need. Swot up now and come Saturday you'll be impressing anyone who'll listen with your new-found knowledge.
Eduardo v Liam Ridgewell
Arsène Wenger called for patience when the Brazilian born Eduardo was signed in the wake of Thierry Henry's departure. It seems those who heeded the manager's advice were right to do so. The striker is in the midst of a hugely profitable spell for the Club having grabbed a stunning brace against Everton and equally sublime opener in the year's first game at home to West Ham. Many have tried to fill the No 9 jersey last worn successfully by Nicolas Anelka, but in Eduardo the boss believes he has finally found his 'fox in the box'. Five shots on target and three goals demonstrates a clinical edge, and two assists adds substance to his play. Working fully for the cause, the Croatian international has also only lost three tackles and been well-placed to clear on one occasion. Arsenal fans know a thing or two about a bitter local rivalry, and those in the second city certainly do too. In the summer Liam Ridgewell became the first player in over two decades to cross from Aston Villa to Birmingham. Rather than suffer a backlash from his new fans, the former England Under-21 defender put in performances which won them over. Given the captain's armband in the absence of the injured Damien Johnson, Ridgewell has thrived. A staggering 35 clearances proves a no-nonsence approach to defending and he has even weighed in with two assists and a goal of his own.
Gael Clichy v Sebastian Larsson
It's churlish to complain about a lack of goals from your left-back but, given the attacking prowess of Gael Clichy, it's a surprise that he has yet to break his duck. As defensively sure as he is on the front foot, the Frenchman's performances ensured the departure of Ashley Cole was not felt on the pitch. An impressive 35 tackles as well as 19 successful dribbles demonstrates a engine unlikley to be bettered by anyone else in the Premier League. His link-up play both in getting out of tight spots and when attacking the opposition is shown by a passing success rate of over 60 per cent, but 35 clearances gives the impression of knowing when to avert the danger. The first of two former Gunners to feature in this week's Key Battles is Sebastian Larsson. The Swede initially joined the Midlands outfit on loan but having played a pivitol role in the Blues promotion campaign the move was made permanent. One return to north London this season already yielded a morale boosting win - Larsson's spectacular late drive earning Alex McLeish's side a 3-2 win at White Hart Lane. It is one of two goals scored by 22-year-old this term. Add those to four assists and it is clear where Birmingham's threat lies. Not one to shirk on back-tracking, the former Under-21 international has 15 clearances to his name as well as 19 tackles.
Mathieu Flamini v Fabrice Muamba
One of the surprise packages in Arsenal mounting a title charge this season has undoubtedly been the improvement of Mathieu Flamini. The Frenchman did play a major role in the Gunners' run to the 2006 Champions League Final, however he was deployed as a utility man. This season he has been undroppable. Stamping his authority on the midfield, the 23-year-old is so effective in a holding role which allows Cesc Fabregas to roam forward absence, but Flamini has also been adept at getting forward when Fabregas has not been available. His two goals is testament to that, whereas eight interceptions, 13 clearances and 21 tackles made is evidence of his defensive strengths. Resourceful with the ball - completing over 50 per cent of his passes - the No 16 has an acute footballing mind that allows for the more creative minds around him to run wild. England Under-21 star Fabrice Muamba has been a wonderful asset to the Blues since signing permanently in 2007, playing a crucial role as Steve Bruce guided Birmingham back into the Premier League. The midfielder has enjoyed similar success under new boss Alex McLeish, featuring in 20 games so far this season. Built much like former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira, Muamba's fierce approach has unsettled many of the league's top midfielders. An impressive 25 tackles explains why, but five successful dribbles speaks volumes about his attacking mindset too. When allowed space in the final third, the 19-year-old can be effective - two assists and four shots on target shows that.

Wise County Consolidation Update
Wise County, Va. - It was debated for nearly two decades in Wise County, but the consolidation of six of its high schools into three is now a reality.
The plan called for renovating one high school and building two new schools in the county. It appears everything is going as planned and they could move in by the first of next year.
You would hardly know that a brand new high school is springing up behind the current Union High in Big Stone Gap. The towering construction crane over looking the school is a sure sign.
The new Union High is beginning to take shape. It looks exactly like the new Central High School under construction near Wise. "Both of those schools are prototype schools. The same design, same number of classrooms, gym, auditorium; all of those things are equal. Everything is going exceedingly well with those two projects," school superintendent Jeff Perry says.
Eastside, the former Coeburn High, is being renovated and should be the first to welcome students. "All of that seems to be going well. We are just a little bit behind schedule but nothing that we're concerned about. We will be able to catch up with the good weather and we will open up in August of this year," Perry said.
As for the other two projects, Union and Central, they too are on schedule. "We anticipate Union High School will be done in October or November of this year. Then Central will be constructed and ready to move in in December," he said.
As far as facilities go, the consolidation will reach its goals for Union and Central beginning in 2014 after the Christmas break. "Students will have a three-week break. We will use a week of break as work days for teachers to go ahead and make that transition into the new schools," he says.
Besides just the brick and mortar, the idea was to offer more to the students of the county; it's a goal Perry says they've reached. "We do realize that there was a lot of sacrifice that each of one of our communities made, especially those communities that lost the schools. But in terms of the curriculum offering, students have more offerings many more opportunities, both curricular and extracurricular," Perry said.
By next year all three consolidated schools will be open and operational.

Their debut album came out in 2005, they'd once been featured on "The L-Word" and were even up for a Grammy nomination in 2007. But looking ahead, it's their stunning new EP, Musique, that we're reveling in.
Seeing it's proper release last week, Lola Dutronic offer up 7 tracks of lush sounds, anchored by the spectacular lead song, Beautiful World. There's no reason for me to envision an afternoon filled with anything but the lovely sounds pouring out of Dee while a traditionally cinematic score whisks me away into a sultry land of hot foreigners with accents, who smoke cigarettes while staring longingly at one another. Legit, this is really good.
And there's a video to boot. Give me old films and flicks in black-and-white to take the eyes to wonderland any day.
Watch it now, and then go buy Lola Dutronic's Musique EP here.

Born in Mexico, but now working mainly in New York, Gabriel Orozco engages the legacy of modernist sculpture with a kind of artistic nomadism that "succeeds in imbuing its original iconography with a fresh, poetically abstract quality, giving rise to a new object that can obviously comply with several definitions of sculpture." He borrows sculptural techniques from various phases of art history and applies them to simple things, transforming ordinary objects into sculptures in the classical sense without erasing their original status as "things." Creating personal variations on common things, he often uses altered games as a metaphor for social development and interaction. The pieces are only complete with the input of the viewer because the games have no rules; the players must bring their own rules to the game. Let's Entertain includes Horses Running Endlessly (1995), a beautiful chess table without kings, queens, bishops, rooks, or pawns. It has only the knights, the horses. In the traditional form of chess, horses can only be moved sideways, creating endless circular loops. Those attempting to play this version must choose between that fate and the possibility of creating new rules on the spot. Breaking with convention is the artist's seeming directive. As one critic has written, "[Orozco] is an activist in the sense that his daily activity confronts the shortcomings of our perception of reality." In making the familiar strange and exciting, the artist offers a poetic meditation on play, social engagement, and the ephemerality of everyday experience. Orozco's work was included in documenta X in 1997 and the 1999 Carnegie International.

biography Gabriel Orozco, Let's Entertain: Life's Guilty Pleasures 2000
essay Gabriel Orozco, 2005
The work of Gabriel Orozco is poetry in motion. He has spent his life traveling the world, and not surprisingly, his sculptures, photographs, videos, and installations have come to document his slight and often ephemeral interventions into his immediate surroundings. They convey, often with modest means and scale, the romance of daily life. As a result of his peripatetic lifestyle, Orozco has abandoned the notion of a traditional studio practice. In a 2003 interview he explained: "The post-studio practice in my case was to understand this studio on a temporal basis and not on a spatial basis. I took the word 'studio' literally, not as a space of production but as [a] time of knowledge. That time of knowledge can be generated in different places: outdoors or indoors. And the result of this … is unpredictable, because I don't own the means of production: I don't own a factory, I don't have a school, I have no assistants … I can use all of these models. But my favorites are the street, kitchen, and table."1
Orozco was born into a family of painters, and as is true with many artists emerging from Mexico during the second half of the twentieth century, he had to contend with the cultural legacy of the celebrated muralists Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco (no relation), and David Alfaro Siquieros (with whom Gabriel's father had studied and worked as an assistant). In 1993, Orozco burst onto the international art scene with solo exhibitions at the Kanaal Art Foundation in Kortrijk, Belgium; the "Projects" space at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; and Galerie Chantal Crousel, Paris, where he showed his now notorious work La D.S., a French-made Citroën D.S. automobile which he cut lengthwise into three cross sections, removed the central portion, and seamlessly reconnected the remaining lateral pieces to form a shadow of its former self. The next year, he was offered his first solo New York show at Marian Goodman Gallery, where his exhibition of four blue-rimmed plastic yogurt container caps, one per wall, was spare, bordering on invisible. The controversial reception of this minimalist gesture in addition to the increasingly pronounced eclecticism of his prac-tice made manifest in these exhibitions led to his subsequent meteoric ascendancy within the art world.
Orozco's privileging of found objects has been widely accepted as a poetic reinterpretation of Duchamp's use of the "readymade," but the artist has also freely acknowledged other influences, most notably Arte Povera's recycling of prosaic materials, Minimalism's strict geometries and seriality, and Earth Art's exploration of sites beyond the confines of the gallery. However, like Robert Morris and Bruce Nauman before him, the artist's body is perhaps the central reference point and unit of measure within Orozco's work. In 1992, he created Piedra que cede (Yielding Stone), a pristine ball of plasticine modeling clay weighing the same amount as his own body (approximately 150 pounds). Like the tendency for travelers to accumulate impressions and souvenirs from a particular place, he rolled this malleable "stone" through the streets of New York City so it picked up all manner of detritus that became embedded in its surface.2 Ultimately, the debris and inevitable indentations suffered by the piece reflect the geography of the urban environment and bear traces of time's passage.
Cited in Hans Ulrich Obrist: Interviews, vol. 1, ed. Thomas Boutoux (Milan: Edizioni Charta, 2003), 646–647. Despite his theoretical protestations to the contrary, Orozco has established home bases in New York, Paris, and Mexico City. ↩
Since its inception, the piece has become well traveled, having been rolled through the streets of Los Angeles and Mexico City on the occasion of a major survey of Orozco's work at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (2000), which traveled to the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Internacional Rufino Tamayo in Mexico City (2001), and to the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey, Mexico (2001). While the piece was in Los Angeles, the artist added shoe and finger marks. See documentation in the Walker Art Center Archives. ↩

Convictions Obtained in Scheme to Divert Two Department of Education Grants Totaling $1.9 Million Meant for School Districts in South Dakota, Which Money Was Then Used to Buy Expensive SUVs and Other Items
Washington, D.C. - United States Attorney Roscoe C. Howard, Jr., Michael A. Mason, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI's Washington Field Office, and Jack P. Higgins, Inspector General for the United States Department of Education, announced that yesterday a federal jury found John B. Holmes, 35, of Silver Spring, Maryland, guilty of conspiring to receive stolen government property, conspiracy to commit money laundering and false use of a social security number. The jury also found Daniel Dorcely, 30, also of Silver Spring, guilty of making a false statement to the FBI in this matter. At their respective sentencings, which are scheduled for later this year before the Honorable Reggie B. Walton, Holmes faces up to 30 years in prison and a million dollars in fines and Dorcely faces up to 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
These convictions are the most recent ones in a series in this matter. Stateson C. Francois, 28, of Silver Spring, pled guilty, the day before the trial of the above-matter was to begin, to the same charges to which Holmes thereafter was found guilty. Dominique Germain, 27, also of Silver Spring, previously pled guilty to obstruction of justice in this matter and faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Three other individuals have also pled guilty in this matter, Denise Cobham, 53, of Mitchellville, Maryland, and Roger Bowen, of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, pled guilty to conspiracy to receive stolen government property and conspiracy to commit money laundering, and Diallo Cobham, Denise Cobham's son, pled guilty to wire fraud. Denise Cobham and Bowen face up to 25 years in prison and $750,000 in fines when they are sentenced by Judge Walton, while Diallo Cobham faces up to 5 years in prison and a fine of $250,000 when he is sentenced by Judge Walton.
According to the government's evidence, Impact Aid grants are sent to school districts whose tax base is depleted by the presence of non-taxable sources such as military bases or Indian reservations. A school district designates the bank account into which the money is to be sent by submitting a Direct Deposit form. In this case, on March 27, 2000, someone submitted Direct Deposit forms for two school districts in South Dakota, changing the banking information for the school districts from the intended banks to NationsBank (now Bank of America) in Adelphi, Maryland. As a result, two grants of over $900,000 each were sent on March 31, 2000, to two bank accounts at that bank, in the names of Dany Enterprises, Inc., and Children's Cottage, Inc.
Shortly before the money came into the Dany Enterprises account, Daniel Dorcely, the owner of that account, placed his cousin, Stateson Francois, on the account under a false name of Tyrone Wallace. Dorcely and Francois told the bank branch manager that they were expecting a large contract from the government and that "Wallace, could conduct business from the account while Dorcely was out of the area for basic training with his National Guard unit. On the day the Education funds came into the Dany Enterprises account, Francois went into the bank and withdrew $60,600, including a cashier's check for $46,900, $4,700 in traveler's checks, and $9,000 in cash. Later that day, Holmes and Francois went to Capitol Cadillac in Greenbelt, Maryland, at which time Holmes bought a Cadillac Escalade with the cashier's check for $46,900. Holmes identified himself and put the vehicle in the name of Timothy Robbins, a name shown on a D.C. driver's license Holmes obtained using someone else's Social Security Number. On April 3, 2000, Francois obtained a D.C. driver's license under the name of Tyrone Wallace, also using someone else's Social Security Number.
On April 4, 2000, Francois and Dominique Germain, Dorcely's brother-in-law, went into the Bank of America in Adelphi, Maryland, and Francois got two cashier's checks, one for $50,000 and the second for $48,000. Later that day, Holmes and Francois went to Wilson Powell Lincoln Mercury in Marlow Heights, Maryland, and Francois bought a Lincoln Navigator in the name of Tyrone Wallace with the $50,000 cashier's check. The two then went to Lustine Chevrolet in Hyattsville, Maryland, and tried to purchase a Corvette with the $48,000 cashier's checks. A Vice President at that dealership became suspicious of the purchase and delayed the purchase, pointing out that there was a misspelling of the dealership's name on the check. Holmes and Francois left the dealership to obtain a check with the correct spelling. During this time, the dealership contacted the FBI, which determined that the money was not properly in the Dany Enterprises account and the FBI asked the bank to freeze the account.
During the course of the joint FBI and Department of Education OIG investigation, an FBI agent contacted Dorcely and asked him to identify "Tyrone Wallace." Dorcely falsely stated Wallace was not related to him, that he met Wallace 7 to 8 months before, and did not know where to find him. Francois was thereafter stopped driving the Navigator and identified by the bank branch manager as the person who Dorcely had introduced to him as Wallace. Holmes was also stopped driving the Escalade. Both vehicles were seized and the FBI seized about $800,000 from the Dany Enterprises account.
Regarding the Children's Cottage account, Denise Cobham had run a day-care center in that name in Riverdale, Maryland. She was attempting to acquire the property for the center, but could not get a loan for the property in her own name. Accordingly, she and Bowen submitted fraudulent paperwork in the name of a female employee of the day care center and then in the name of Cobham's son, Diallo Cobham. One day, Bowen received a call notifying him that the loan had been disapproved. When Bowen received that call, Holmes, with whom Bowen previously had done transactions, was present, Holmes told Bowen he knew someone in the government that could wire money to a business account in an amount that would be enough to purchase the property. Bowen arranged a meeting between Holmes and Denise Cobham and Cobham agreed to the plan where she would get the money needed for the school ($135,000) and Holmes and Bowen would get $40,000 each. Cobham gave Holmes a copy of her business account check which Holmes needed to arrange the transfer of the money. Thereafter, on March 31, 2000, over $900,000 was deposited into Cobham's account from the Department of Education. Cobham went to settlement on the Children's Cottage property on April 7, 2000, and gave Bowen $12,000 for his assistance in obtaining the money. Bowen, in turn, gave some of this money to Holmes. On April 12, 2000, the government, having had frozen the Children's Cottage bank account, seized $844,336.33 from it. The government has also now seized and forfeited $1,718,908.73 in cars and bank accounts.
At trial in this case, the jury found Holmes guilty of his actions relative to the money from the Dany Enterprises account, but could not reach a verdict as to his actions relative to the Children's Cottage account.
In announcing the convictions, U.S. Attorney Howard, Assistant Director Mason, and Inspector General Higgins commended the work of PBI Special Agents Thomas Chadwick and Debra Laprevotte, and Special Agents George Baxavaneos and Gary Mitchell of the Department of Education Office of the Inspector General. They also praised Paralegal Specialist Paula Pagano, litigation support specialist Debbie Dunn, and Legal Assistants Shavonne Jennings-Rush and Teesha Tobias. Finally, they acknowledged the good work of Assistant United States Attorneys (AUSAs) Patrick Rowan and Howard Sklamberg, who handled this matter initially, and AUSAS Jonathan Rosen and Daniel Butler, who prosecuted the case through trial and will handle the sentencings.

Revision Of Electric
Cart Fees Passes
After an issue of whether to amend city code to lower the fees for an electric cart service to operate in the town flip-flopped in recent weeks, it was finally put to rest Tuesday during a Mayor and City Council work session when the council unanimously voted to approve the lessened fees.
Back on Feb. 27, owner and president of E-cruzers, LLC, Russell Rankin, came before the council to ask for lower licensing fees for his business. At the time, he was to pay $100 per cart in operation, similar to what taxicab companies pay. However, Rankin argued he was nothing like a taxi since he can only run east/west and uses electric, rather than gas, thus making him a green company.
The discussion was intense but the council approved a change to lower the fee from $100 to $25 per vehicle with a 4:3 vote. When it came to finalize the vote the following week, two of the council members for the change were not present, shifting the balance of power back, rejecting the lowered fees with a 3-2 vote.
However, comparing this issue with another from the past, Councilwoman Margaret Pillas suggested the council table the issue until all the members can be present again, ensuring a fair vote.
The amended fees were then voted on again Tuesday and were unanimously approved, surpassing Rankin's hopes of at least getting a 5-2 vote this time around.
More Discussion On Carbon
Monoxide Detectors Planned
Toward the end of work session Tuesday, Councilman Jim Hall told officials to set aside some time in an upcoming work session to discuss the idea of mandating the use of carbon monoxide detectors in all single-family homes in the resort area.
The City Council recently approved an ordinance to amend the Fire Prevention and Protection code to require the use of carbon monoxide detectors in certain buildings.
With the threat of carbon monoxide being taken more seriously now, legislation was even introduced at the Maryland General Assembly that would look to have a similar effect to that of the ordinance passed in Ocean City all over Maryland.
However, neither of the legislative pieces has targeted single-family homes where the threat of carbon monoxide poisoning is just as real, but future talks by the council look to change that.
Stormwater Mitigation
Funds Requested
Another request made to the Mayor and City Council Tuesday came from city Environmental Engineer Gail Blazer.
According to Blazer, Calvin Ginnavan, from the Parks Maintenance Division, is installing a pervious paver system between the ball fields at Northside Park where a drainage problem is becoming a detriment to the area. Blazer said this would be a great opportunity to install a retrofitted pervious paver system that would be able to test rainwater after it is filtered through the system.
Currently she is waiting to hear back from the Maryland Coastal Bays Program, which she asked for funding of the project, however is not sure if they will grant the full amount.
In order to make up any difference, Blazer asked the council if funds could be transferred from the Stormwater Mitigation fund, not to exceed $12,000, if need be.
The council unanimously approved Blazer's request.

Wooded trails available for outdoor activities in Crosslake
Beyond the tennis courts and baseball fields at the Crosslake Community Center is a woodland oasis called the Nordic Ridge Recreation Area. This wooded area offers an abundance of outdoor activities: hiking, bird watching, viewing fall colors, photography, berry picking, geocaching, cross country skiing or walking with a furry companion.
The Parks & Recreation Department, along with volunteers, has been working for years to develop the Nordic Ridge Recreation Area for public enjoyment. Many of the trails have been widened within the past two years and grass seed has been planted to enhance many of the pathways.
The outer boundary currently reaches six miles, with many inner-looping trails. Special attractions along the pathways include views overlooking two lakes, water fowl, an osprey nest, majestic red pine trees and an abundance of wildlife.
The Nordic Ridge Recreation Area is a unique and yet unknown attraction. Expansion plans are in the making but necessitate funding.
The PAL (Parks & Library) Foundation of Crosslake has initiated a strategy to promote awareness and fundraising. It's hopeful the trails will become a popular destination within the community.

Comings and Goings is a blog written by Theology, Formation, and Evangelism Director Charles B. "Chip" Hardwick as he travels throughout the church. God is on the move out and about in the world, working to redeem all things in Jesus Christ. As we join this mission, by the power of the Spirit we see God on the move. This blog contains glimpses of how Chip finds this to be true in his comings and goings.
You can follow Chip on twitter (@chiphardwick) or find him on Facebook (Chip Hardwick).
In a time of declining resources for many churches and presbyteries and the Presbyterian Mission Agency, we often bemoan the lack of staff and finances in order to do the ministry that we once undertook. We forget that Peter does not say that God will pour out money upon all flesh. He does not say that God will pour out extra staff members upon all flesh. Peter reminds us that God will pour out the Spirit upon all flesh, so that people dream dreams and have visions.

Salvatore was very helpful throughout the booking process and even offers a collection service from the airport direct to the apartment which also served as the check-in process. Despite our flights arriving earlier than check-in time, we were able to access the apartment earlier which we really appreciated. The apartment was clean and well-furnished. The only issue we had was the building works in the building, which started very early each day, but this is no fault of Salvatore or the team. Would be very happy to recommend. Slept 6 of us very comfortably.
We had a great holiday in Nice during Easter 2016.
The apartment is really nice, exactly as described, in a quiet position; I absolutely recommend it, especially for a short period (in my opinion, 4 people, especially if adults, in that apartment are not really comfortable at 100%).
It's 10 minutes far from Promenade des Anglais. Near the apartment are available supermarket, bakery, pharmacy ecc.
Salvatore and his cousin are affable and helpful.
Free to choose this apartment, you will not regret !!!
Nice appartement. Very friendly contact :-)
We had to pick up the keys at another location than the apartment; the boy was friendly and helpful.
We were disappointed about the apartment.
Very bad smell when we entered.
The apartment was not clean; floors were sticky and dirty.
Kitchen: bad smell came from the cooker hood.
Toilet did not functioning properly.
Pillows were not clean
Bed linen and towels crammed in a plastic supermarket bag.
Nice appartement in Nice. Big enough, good kitchen, two beds a bit old fashioned.
There was one bedlinen missing, the brought it himself the next day.
The smell was a bit curious, we opened the windows for fresh air. In the night we heard upstairs the TV, wich forced us to drink enough wine to fall a sleep.
Good place to stay in the center of Nice. We enjoyed it very much.
The apartment is very nice and located in a strategic point to visit all the city for both business and tourism. Salvatore was very helpful and really friendly.
Perfect! Great location in old town and just 2 minutes to Promenade. The appartment is furnished well and was just suitable for us (we stayed 7 nights). Salvatore is very helpful. Nothing to complain for!

Accommodation summary
Central location next to HS station. The city centre is within walking (10mins) distance. Living room with bedroom, open kitchen and bathroom with fluffy towels. Perfect for a night or longer stay in The Hague, your own skyscraper apartment!
The tower also includes a business lounge with free access, a basic fitness facility (free entrance) and a luxury restaurant, The Penthouse. The building is an enlarged copy of New York city's flat iron building.
This apartment is fully furnished and is on Wimdu as part of of a test to see how the apartments on these floors could be furnished and how guests from different countries like them. The only requirement in return of the low price asked is that you write a short but honest review after your stay.
I am an advertising and event consultant. I live in the centre of The Hague, The Netherlands and really enjoy traveling. I run the restaurant on the top floors of the tower. This apartment was meant for my staff, but is not being used at the moment.
I have enjoyed Wimdu like hospitality in many countries, so now it's time to return the favor. Welcome!

Everything was great! 'll Be back!
Alles prima! Gerne wieder!
Magnificent views from the apartment! Even otherwise there was nothing missing. We enjoyed our night and slept well in the large, very comfortable bed. Very clean and well equipped. WiFi worked perfectly and the tip for breakfast to "de overkant" to go was a real insider - made with love delicious Brodjes of gorgeous girls warm. Parking in the closed parking lot next to the Hague Tower for 15 € a night no problem. Super central location. We will come back :-)
Grandioser Blick aus dem Apartment!
Auch sonst hat es an nichts gefehlt. Wir haben unsere Übernachtung genossen und im großen, sehr bequemen Bett hervorragend geschlafen.
Sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet. WiFi funktionierte tadellos und der Tipp zum Frühstück ins "de overkant" zu gehen war ein echter Insider - köstliche Brodjes von herrlich herzlichen Mädels mit Liebe gemacht.
Parken auf dem abgeschlossenen Parkplatz direkt neben dem Hague Tower für 15€ die Nacht kein Problem. Super zentrale Lage.
Wir kommen gerne wieder :-)
If you want to reach the Sky then you have to stay here! Wonderful and amazing Apartment! recommended every time! thanks for the luxury stay :)
A perfect stay straight in the center. Comforting size with far more than standard supplies, generous size and an astonishing view. We felt welcomed with having our own space. Very nice people at the reservation. There was nothing we could miss; even had a bottle opener and wine glasses. The only critics to make my rating more credible: next time I´ll go grab the hoover to clean underneath the bed. We definately come back to also enjoy diner at the restaurant on top. Plus enjoy the marvelous DVD-collection at the room, (unfortunately somebody took away the scart-cable this time). We decided it was so much more pleasure than staying in a common 4****-Hotel. Thanks so much, Elwin!
beautiful, large apartment with fantastic views, tram and Fahrradvereleih close, highly recommended, again any time
schöne, große Wohnung mit phantastischem Blick, Tram und Fahrradvereleih in der Nähe, sehr empfehlenswert, jederzeit gerne wieder
The cottage is beautifully decorated again. The plants made the atmosphere even off immediately! T was short again is worth it. It was a topdagje!
Het huisje is weer mooi ingericht.
De planten maakte de sfeer ook meteen af!

Muy recomendable para visitar la ciudad, la torre se ve desde casi cualquier parte.
Los atardeceres son perfectos.
Muy atento anfitrión desde el momento de la reserva hasta el final. Y el servicio de recepción de la torre impecable.
Muchas gracias.
The stay was just great. The apartment is much bigger than it looks in the photos. The view is breathtaking. The decor is good and it was really clean. The staff was really courteous. All in all - easily managed and highly recommended. We will definitely come back again! If you're already there, you should pay a visit to the restaurant. Food preparation was 1a, the personnel / the service very friendly and attentive and even there the view is priceless. Thanks so much for the nice weekend. I will recommend you in good conscience continue!
Der Aufenthalt war einfach Klasse. Das Appartement ist um einiges größer als es auf den Fotos wirkt.
Der Ausblick ist atemberaubend. Die Einrichtung ist gut und es war wirklich sauber. Auch das Personal war wirklich zuvorkommend. Alles in allem - einfach gelungen und empfehlenswert. Wir werden definitiv noch einmal kommen!
Wenn man schon dort ist sollte man auch dem Restaurant einen Besuch abstatten. Die Zubereitung der Speisen war 1a, das Personal /der Service sehr freundlich und aufmerksam und auch dort ist der Ausblick unbezahlbar.

Home › Forums › Campfire › Pre-Trip Planning › Advice Sought on ten day Wind River Range or Teton/Washakie Wilderness
Mar 28, 2013 at 8:56 am #1300993
My plans keep changing but right now it looks like I will have some free time the first two weeks of August for a serious 10-12 day trip in Wyoming. I've looked over topo maps, pictures and google earth so I have a basic idea what different areas have to offer.
Option 1 – Hike down the Wind River Range using partly the CDT and partly cross country hiking.
Option 2. Big loop through through Teton/Washakie Wilderness areas. Possibly going south along Yellowstone Lake and linking upper Therofare River and upper Yellowstone River Valleys with some cross country travel up on the plateaus.
I'm interested in hearing from people who've been there about a couple questions
1. What would conditions be like in August? Will there still be some snow and moisture up high or will things be all dried up?
2. Bugs, I keep hearing they are bad. Would I survive okay in my MLD bivy (I hike most of the day) or would you recommend a tarptent.
3. I want to avoid popular over used places. Right now the plan is to go remote, minimize time on popular trails, and go cross country wherever possible.
Any suggestions would be welcome. There are so many good options I'm just trying to narrow things down a bit.
Edit – I'd be interested in avoiding any trails that are popular with horse groups.Mar 28, 2013 at 11:44 am #1970503

I can only give a few thoughts on the winds. When I have been there (3rd week of August) the bugs were not too much of an issue at all. In a normal snow year, I only found snow on the lee side of ridges where it piles up all winter. (there was a good sized snowdrift at the top of the east side of Knapsack Col)
I have not been to the tetons for comparison.
If I had 10 days I would hike the winds from north to south.
BenMar 28, 2013 at 12:01 pm #1970516
Thanks a lot Ben. I saw Reynold's virtual tour of a Wind river trip that started on the Northeast side and worked its way cross country to the Elkhart Park area. I saw that and thought maybe instead of leaving there I could just follow the CDT north to the Green River Lakes and go cross country across some of those ridges to my original starting point.Mar 28, 2013 at 3:30 pm #1970590
Well I spent a lot of time on google earth and playing with maps today. It really seems to boil down to this. Winds win for scenery. Teton Wilderness is better if I want to see more big game. The Winds look very appealing but I don't get to hike with wolves and grizzlies that often so the chance to see more critters is a big factor.
How good is the wildlife viewing in the Teton Wilderness? I hear there are lots of bears and wolves but no one seems to see them in the trip reports I've read through.Mar 29, 2013 at 11:36 am #1970837

Luke, I'm not hugely familiar with the Teton Wilderness, but will say what I can.
The lower areas (still 7-9k) are remarkably gentle. Big vallys, rolling passes, thick forests alternating with big meadows. Great griz terrain. I've never been in the summer, but off-season it is easy to see that the main trails get a massive amount of horse use. Other trails, like the south boundary in Yellowstone between the Thorofare and road, get little use. The high plateaus probably see little traffic outside elk season, and often have easy walking on tundra. A route which sticks to those areas would probably give you wildlife and few people.
Forrest McCarthy would be the person to ask, but he's skiing in Mongolia at the moment.Mar 29, 2013 at 12:33 pm #1970845
Thanks for trying David. I liked your trip report on that area but since I wont' be skiing things will be different.
I've had relatively little trouble finding resources on the Winds. The Teton Wilderness is much more obscure. No Trails Illustrated maps, no guidebooks in print and very few trip reports. I'm guessing that means the area sees relatively few hikers. I'm pretty sure I can avoid the worst of the horse packer crowd by avoiding certain trails and going cross country as much as possible.
Glad you mentioned thick forests. I like cross country but not through dense woods (especially full of bears). I'll keep most of my cross country hiking up high.Mar 29, 2013 at 1:42 pm #1970862

Luke, I did a Wind River trip 3 years ago in late August Early September. No bugs to speak of and very little snow, that will vary depending on the winter of course and that was a dry year, but I'm under the impression that mostly by August its pretty decent around there. I went in at Elkart Park, up over Knapsack Col and then on down to the Cirque and out at Big Sandy hitting lots of other stuff along the way. I did some time on the Highline/CDT and quite a bit of cross country. The trip report is here in the index. Took me nine days and I didn't see many people, just camp away from the handfull of hotspots.Apr 3, 2013 at 10:12 pm #1972655
Thanks Andrew, I'll check out that trip report. Right now it looks like I'll be doing something around YNP/Teton Wilderness with a quick trip to the Winds at the end if everything goes smoothly.

text: So, the suburban started doing this bucking thing between 1k and 2k rpm, but drives smooth above that. It also seems to happen only after the engine is up to full temp, after about ten minutes of driving. It will go away if the engine has a chance to cool down before driving again. It also doesn't buck when the rpm is going back down through the 2k to 1k range with my foot off the gas. But then, going back up through that range, even with the slightest pressure on the gas, and it bucks and shakes until I get above 2k... then it drives fine! I recently had the timing chain replaced and I have almost 200k miles. I was wondering if it's something like a crank sensor getting heat-soaked, or if it's timing/distributor related, or if it's torque converter lock-up related?!? I don't think it's fuel delivery related at this point. Anyone else experience this? - - - Updated - - - hmmm... Not a good sign, if I have 73 views and zero replies. I'm guessing that means nobody has a clue as to the source of this problem.

It's a travesty of justise for GM to deny North America the opportunity of experiencing the Aussie Holden Ute (ie Pontiac G8 ST). This is truly a great vehicle with a car front end and a good size bed at back.These utes are the main vehicles populating the outback, every farmer has one. We used to tear up the outback shooting kangaroos, foxes and emus from the back of them. We used to throw some bags of wheat over the rear wheel to get traction when racing.Too bad you American blokes will miss the opportunity to drive this Aussie icon.Damn it Mate, I'll have to keep my Chevvy truck after all!!Cheers,Crocdile Lyall

text: A little shorter than usual today but still just as juicy. This C list celebrity with A list name recognition dumped one of her exes and had her heart crushed after she found out he regularly slept with her B list celebrity/A+ list name recognition sister. It was almost a daily thing from even before the less famous sister started dating the man. Not juicy enough? The man said the reason he loved having sex with the more famous sister is because she would insert coke up her butt and that made everything crazy. The sisters didn't talk to each other for over a year after the breakup.

I've got a Kahr MK9 (the compact steel version that preceeded the PM9). It shoots very well. It's really accurate considering the small size and sight radius. The steel frame om my smaller model makes recoil very easy to manage. I would expect the larger K9 9093 to be even easier to shoot.
I bought mine about 8-9 years ago when they first came out. I haven't had a bit of trouble with it - it's been very reliable. I've heard that Kahr has been having some quality problems in the last couple years.

No, not very much. They (he and the producer) asked me what I thought of the planned discussion topics during the pledge breaks, which were focused on hunting licenses and hunter-education in 2 of the 3 segments. I suggested that since the "Duckumentary" was about the life-cycle of ducks, we should talk in one of the segments about the role Louisiana's wetland habitat plays in the migration and wintering stages of that life-cycle and what hunters and LDWF do to maintain that habitat.
But they thought that wouldn't be as interesting to their audience.
It was an interesting experience with virtually no preparation or coaching. I also kinda forgot that I was supposed to be pimping donations to LPB and not just providing information related to the program. They gave me some good-natured grief after he asked me to give the website, and I rattled off the LDWF website instead of the LPB web address where people could make pledges.
Still, the photography in that program was incredible!

Romney and Ann: The Comeback Kids?
Original post made by Freedom Freedom Freedom, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Mar 4, 2013
Wallace joins them in La Jolla, which is in California, which is, as Mitt informed us during the election, almost as much of a hellhole as Europe because, like, taxes. Which is why he owns a beach front mansion there, of course. That would be the beach front mansion they're turning into a bigger beach front mansion, complete with car elevator, with the assistance of the private lobbyist they hired to fast-track their construction plans by buying off La Jolla's city council, like all totally normal average Americans do.
The interview is almost impossible to watch without thinking of what might have been, what should have been. Our best hope is that Mitt and Ann have a change of heart - no, not exactly the right words - a change in strategy and decide to run again in 2016. Perhaps by then all the folks who were bought off by Obamacare will have forgotten about it.

Wow !! Great to know PW is really on the map bigtime! To think that those highly paid professional Obama social media experts, who have been commenting hourly on blogs since the 2007 campaign, from their Chicago and White House locations, still feel the need to comment on all their favorite community commenting websites re Romney. Tough habit to break, apparently.

Oooops, forgot. Aside from Obama media team continuing their habits of 'campaign blogging', it is calculated by Obama, just like every word he utters. He's planning on taking back Congress,then he can do all the serious damage he's intent on completing. Meanwhile, every word he says is 'intentional campaign messaging'. Beware...listen carefully.
