Great apartment in a perfect location. Highly recommended!
We had a very nice stay in an amazing apartment in an amazing city. Very good contact with the host before and during the travel.
10/10 would book again.
Although it has been some time, I remember very well that it was a great experience to stay at this appartment for some days. We even stayed longer than intended and that was no problem at all. Beautiful view when sitting on the rooftop at night or day. The slanted walls throughout the whole appartment give it a funky feeling, but is a bit inconvenient for very tall people. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting a Lisboa city experience, as it is very central and close to most sights.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Upsides - Absolutely amazing location. Beautiful apartment. Friendly staff. Bottle of wine on arrival. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay.
Downsides - hot water service would heat up once, then shutdown and had to be reset 2 hours prior to every shower. Pillows were really flat and little. Tried to charge extra 30 euros/night when I requested a 3rd bed to be made up. Left waiting for an hour after arranging the arrival time by email and had to make an extra phone call. No hand towels in bathrooms. Had to buy more toilet paper. A partial roll in each bathroom is not sufficient for a 4 days stay for 3 people!
We had a wonderful stay in Lisbon. The location is terrific if you wish to be a part of the famous Fado neighborhood. Great restaurants directly across from the Fado Museum. The climb to the apartment is around 100 steps, but once you get there the view from both sides is well worth it. The apartment is very comfortable and very clean. It would comfortably sleep 4
Amazing apartment, amazing location, amazing host.
Perfect location for Bairro Alto where there is alot of restaurants, cafés and bars. Also short distance to Chiado and all transportation to go where ever you would like to go. The apparatment is big anough for 3, maybe 4 people/family. It has one big bedrom and to sleeping couches. There is a bar on the corner so there are some noises, especially in the weekends. I will absolutely recommend this appartment.
Great apartment in the very heart of town. I'd recommend it to everybody!
Mooie locatie in een levendige buurt, vlakbij metro Cais do Sodré. Het appartement zelf is ruim en comfortabel, en heeft gelukkig heel isolerend glas want de buurt is nogal rumoerig 's nachts. Bij het woord 'luxury' (en voor die prijs) had ik wel verwacht dat er iets van douchegel voorzien was, of wat basics in de keuken. Niet dus. En nog een minpuntje: check-in is pas om 16u.

Registration now open for addiction treatment conference, October 7 and 8
Registrations are now being accepted for the "Treating Addictions in Special Populations: Research Confronts Reality" conference scheduled for October 7 and 8, 2002, in the Binghamton Regency Conference Center, located at 1 Sarbro Square in Binghamton, New York.
The conference will bring together researchers, educators, policy-makers and service-providers in a dynamic forum to address issues that have emerged for individuals of special populations affected by substance-related disorders and addictions.
The focus of the conference is to bring research findings into practice and identify successful treatment programs. Treatment models presented will specifically target special populations and their distinct needs, as opposed to the current trend in which treatment delivery is driven by the reimbursement system.
This conference will also present research and model programs addressing the multi-dimensional treatment issues that have emerged for special populations affected by substance-related disorders. It will provide a forum for discussion of the implications for policy-makers and service providers in a holistic approach.
Four keynote speakers will be featured:
• Sheila B. Blume, MD and clinical professor of psychiatry, State University of New York at Stony Brook, will present on the evolution of treatment for addictions in special populations.
• Gerard J. Connors, director of the Research Institute on Addictions, State University of New York at Buffalo, will discuss interventions with heavily drinking women and rural residents.
• Gary Lawson, professor of clinical psychology and family studies at Alliant University, will provide a framework of treating addictions in special populations by focusing on assessment guidelines.
• Kathleen Tavenner Mitchell, national spokesperson and program director for the National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, will speak about fetal alcohol syndrome and its implications for treatment.
The conference is sponsored by the School of Education and Human Development, and the Decker School of Nursing at Binghamton University, the Division of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the Division of Academic Services at Broome Community College, the National Institute on Drug Abuse Special Populations Office, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the Research Institute on Addictions at the State University of New York at Buffalo, and the Haworth Pres, Inc.
Conference costs are $160 for early-bird registration (received before September 9, 2002) and regular registration is $185 (received September 9 or later). For more information, contact Jane Angelone, conference coordinator, at 607-777-4447 or via e-mail at email@example.com.

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF BUFFALO BILL - Wednesday, 22 May 2013
The life and times of William F. Cody – better known as Buffalo Bill – go under the spotlight at the Royal Armouries in Leeds on Wednesday, May 29, in the latest of the museum's illuminating lectures.
Emeritus Curator Graeme Rimer will display weapons of the type used in Cody's long and colourful career, as well as focusing on the life and times of the man who changed public perception of the Wild West for ever.
The Royal Armouries' collection includes a Sheffield-made Bowie knife, of the type used to scalp Yellowhand/Hair in 1869 – described as Cody's Sheffield scalpel – plus a range of revolvers, rifles, and other weapons.
The most celebrated American of his era, Cody's amazing Wild West travelling show visited many towns throughout the UK during its extended tours, including two visits to Cardigan Fields in Leeds, opposite the Cardigan Arms pub (where the Warner Village now stands). The show visited in 1892 and again in 1903.
Graeme's talk focuses on how Cody:
• Began life as a pony express rider, scout for the US Cavalry and buffalo hunter
• Worked as a guide for members of the nobility and others visiting the
American West in the late 1860s
• Became friends with major figures such as General George Armstrong Custer
• Overcame a certain lack of acting ability, to star on the stage and take the
Wild West to the East Coast
• Carved out a 30-year career which took Buffalo Bill's Wild West on a tour of America and Europe, including London and Yorkshire.
Graeme said, "This illustrated talk will explore the exceptionally full and varied career of Cody, who became the most famous American of his time, and discuss both his achievements and some of his less successful ventures.
"We will end with an opportunity to see some examples of the types of weapons used by Buffalo Bill during his long career, drawn from the collections of the Royal Armouries."
The talk starts at 6.30pm and tickets are priced £5. For online sales visit www.royalarmouries.org or call 0113 220 1888.

News: Tagged as FF Hydra
New release: FF 60
How quickly the time has flown since FF 59, we can't quite believe it is release time again. With two new designs, two extensions and a myriad of updates we are delighted to introduce our latest release, FF 60.
The new designs
FF Marselis
From the designer of FF Cube and FF Speak comes FF Marselis. Jan Maack's newest design crossbreeds geometric and humanistic forms, creating a freshly dynamic sans serif family. All of the counters in the typeface are open; certain superfluous strokes have been eliminated – there are no spurs on the b or q, for instance.
Many designers chance upon using the same graphic shape for the lowercase 'a' and 'e' – indeed, the idea seems simple enough: just rotate the form 180° and you should be done! However, almost all attempts at this sort of theoretical simplification fail in practice. With FF Marselis, Jan Maack has found a key to making it work. Rather than whole letterforms, a tear-drop form repeats throughout the alphabet, not only in the bowl of the lowercase 'a' or 'e', but also in the 'k' and the uppercase 'Q'. Its distinct character makes FF Marselis a perfect choice for today's corporate and branding projects.
Introductory offer: You can get 50 % off any FF Marselis product (until 31 October 2012).
FF ThreeSix is a huge experimental optical type system consisting of six typefaces in eight weights, including four additional monospaced weights. It is the result of London-based Paul McNeil's and Hamish Muir's attempts to work within the restrictive rules of geometry to generate simple typographic forms emulating traditional type design principles, where a wide range of almost imperceptible compensatory optical tricks are used to create the illusion of evenness in the basic fabric of text.
The award-winning system – ISTD Premier Award and Certificate of Excellence – is based on a grid of 36 unit squares subdivided into 9 units and are constructed using only vertical or horizontal straight lines and circular arcs. Cap-height, x-height, ascent and descent measurements are consistent across all fonts and weights. The grid also determines character and word spacing, with all side-bearings and kerning pair values conforming to 9 unit increments.
As Wim Crouwel notes: 'It is a fascination for the use of geometric systems in design that has resulted in these remarkable typefaces.'
Updated and extended FontFonts
Introducing FF Chartwell Web. Simple to use and fun to play around with, you can try it for yourself online using our demo.
Free font: For a limited time, you can get your hands on FF Chartwell Web Radar for free.
FF Meta Correspondence
Erik Spiekermann's best-known face is without doubt FF Meta. While it has proven its usability in almost any design task one can think of, its creator realized that it could be improved even more for use in the business world. The main features of the first version of FF Meta Correspondence included tabular figures (instead of oldstyle ones) and increased tracking, yet Spiekermann wanted to go a few steps further and take the typeface to another level.
Now, Erik Spiekermann and the FontFont team changed both proportions and shapes to a more robust style, removed contrast from accents and simplified forms and details to a more screen-friendly appearance. The very well-known lowercase g has been changed to a single-storey one, which is more common within the office environment. Above all, a set of useful arrows, icons, and office dingbats has been added. The resulting design is still FF Meta, but one that breathes Correspondence air.
The simplified forms and the high-quality screen optimization make FF Meta Correspondence a perfect typeface for use as a webfont or within the mobile environment.
New Office and Web FontFonts plus language extensions
Did you know our library contains over 2500 FontFonts? After a FontFont is released, the work doesn't stop, we continually tinker and update our beloved FontFonts to ensure that they are in tip-top condition and in the most up to date and useable formats. In FF 60, some of our earliest releases such as Just van Rossum's FF Advert, Ole Schäfer's FF Zine, and John Critchley's FF Child's Play have been brought up to date and now come in Office and Web formats.
All these faces have also been upgraded so that they are now also offered in Pro versions, meaning they now include more Latin-based languages (e.g. Polish, Turkish, Czech).

New release: FF53
BERLIN, GERMANY, June 2010 – FSI FontShop International announced the latest additions to its award-winning FontFont® typeface library.
The new FontFonts
FF Amman came into existence as Yanone's graduation project at Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany. In late 2008, Yanone set out to Amman, the capital of Jordan, following an invitation by Ahmad Humeid from the local design and branding office Syntax. They were to re-brand the capital's municipality in preparation of Amman's centennial celebrations.
First and main part of Yanone's diptychon »Amman The FFilm« about the making of the FF Amman typeface for Jordan's capital on occasion of its centennial celebrations in 2009.
Never officially commissioned as a custom typeface, it was rather a birthday present from Syntax and Yanone for Amman, and the perfect university graduation project for Yanone. In the end, the typeface with several typographic novelties has been widely used for all kinds of municipal services in Amman. The family consists of seven sans and four serif weights, each with their true Italics and both Latin and Arabic character sets. It is one of the largest bilingual families ever made, one of the few designed bilingually from scratch and the first containing true Arabic Italics.
FF DIN Round — This welcome addition to FontFont's most popular family brings a softness to FF DIN's simplicity and industrial sterility. FF DIN Round is more than a "search-and-replace" rounded version of its predecessor. Albert-Jan Pool and his team redrew each letterform to maintain the structure of the original. This ensures FF DIN and FF DIN Round will work well together in logos, slogans, price tags, etc. as compatible parts of advertising campaigns and corporate identities.
FF DIN Round is not only a good companion to FF DIN, its smooth and friendly curves make it work on its own for branding strategies for family cars, bikes, household appliances, sportswear, shoes, or medical products. It's also very legible on screen.
FF Suhmo is inspired by classic Egyptian and typewriter fonts such as Courier and American Typewriter, which feature headline and text use. This impressive duality was Alex Rütten's guideline for the concept of FF Suhmo. At the same time, many formal details were derived from the typical neon-lettering you can find on aged Italian restaurants in Germany. FF Suhmo has short ascenders and descenders and a generous x-height, making it a good choice for editorial design. It combines simplicity and functionality with playfulness, offering interesting details such as loops and swashes and a slight stroke contrast. Its varied details are unobtrusive in text sizes while developing character and sparkle in headlines.
FF Suhmo's extensive character set includes numerous special characters and ligatures, several figure sets and small caps throughout all styles. The family consists of 4 weights: Light, Regular, Bold and Black, each with an Italic. The weights were staggered to complement each other within a layout, the Black corresponding to the Regular and the Light corresponding to the Bold weight, allowing words or phrases to be clearly stressed within a text. The Italics are lighter than the Roman and have a relatively slight angle of slope. The forms are derived from a manual writing process and often cross the base-line or the x-height.read more

More prescribed burns on Deschutes, Ochoco forests
BEND, Ore. - Fuels specialists on the Deschutes National Forest on Friday planned to conduct a prescribed burn about 12 miles southeast of Bend in the vicinity of Company Butte, near the intersection of China Hat Road and the 1825 Road.
Smoke from this 138 acre fire will be visible from Bend, Sunriver, La Pine and Highway 97, with residual smoke lingering in low-lying areas for the following days.
As smoke lingers in the area of the Kipuka Burn conducted Thursday, the Hoffman Island Trail and FS Road 9720 will remain closed between FS Road 800 and FS Road 9710 through the weekend.
The burn conducted in the Metolius Basin Research Natural Area near Camp Sherman Wednesday and Thursday is in mop-up and patrol status and will also produce smoke through the weekend.
On the Ochoco National Forest, specialists will continue with the two operations that were initiated Wednesday: 1) 15 miles northeast of Prineville near Wildcat Campground; and 2) 12 miles northeast of Post, and 6 miles south of Big Summit Prairie.
Additionally, specialists will initiate a multi-day prescribed fire 15 miles south of Mitchell, and 2 miles east of Big Summit Prairie.
Fuels specialists will follow policies outlined in the Oregon Department of Forestry smoke management plan, which governs prescribed fires, and attempts to minimize impacts to visibility and public health. Once ignited, units are monitored and patrolled until they are declared out.
For more information, visit the Ochoco/Deschutes website at www.fs.usda.gov/centraloregon and follow us on twitter @CentralORFire. Subsequent news releases and "tweets" will follow to provide updates on these potential operations.

Ignasi Miquel believes the signing of Thierry Henry can only benefit Arsenal.
Henry completed his short-term loan deal from New York Red Bulls last Friday, before firing home the winner in Monday night's FA Cup victory over Leeds as a second-half substitute.
The striker hit a Club record 226 goals in his first spell under Arsène Wenger and Miquel believes his experience will prove vital on and off the field.
"It's amazing," the 19-year-old told Arsenal Player. "He can give us a lot of experience, a lot of things that he has learned in his past and give it to the team.
"The team needs it and I think it is a big, big signing. I am sure he is going to help a lot. It is strange but this is the world of football.
"You see the best teams playing in Champions League Finals or winning titles and then suddenly six or seven years later you find yourself around them. It's surprising but I am happy for it."

UTSA 1604 Campus
UTSA enrollment hits record high of 26,340
(Sept. 16, 2004)--Enrollment at UTSA has reached a record 26,340 students for fall 2004, according to university officials. The number represents a gain of 1,675 students -- a nearly 7 percent increase in the number of students enrolled in fall 2003.
"UTSA continues to be a university of first choice as it also becomes one of the state's next premier research universities," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo. Since he became president in 1999, the university's enrollment has jumped 42 percent.

Romo also credits the record enrollment to recruiting efforts beyond Bexar County and to the addition of new master's and doctoral programs. Harris County (Houston) now ranks as the second largest source of students enrolled at UTSA.
"The university's 3,000 residence hall rooms are filled to capacity, and we have opened a new $54 million academic building to accommodate the needs of our growing student population," said Rosalie Ambrosino, UTSA vice president for student affairs.
UTSA celebrated its 35th anniversary in July and launched an ambitious plan to become one of the nation's top 100 research universities within 10 years while continuing to remain accessible to the South Texas population it serves. The university has plans for $750 million in additional construction over the next six years and the hiring of nearly 75 faculty members each year through 2012.
In Texas, student enrollment figures at public higher education institutions are set on census day, this year Sept. 10, and forwarded for review to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Enrollment is one of several criteria used to determine the amount of state funding each institution receives to support its education mission.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .
[Note: The tags for the various schools are not definitive as many books span multiple traditions, etc. They are meant to use as a starting point for exploring this collection.]
The Practice of the Six Yogas of Naropa
The Tibetan tradition known as the Six Yogas of Naropa is one of the most popular tantric systems with all schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Structured and arranged by the eleventh-century Indian masters Tilopa and Naropa from various Buddhist tantric legacies, this system of yogic practice was carried to Tibet by Marpa the Translator a generation later. These six yogas—inner heat, illusory body, clear light, consciousness transference, forceful projection, and bardo… Read More

The Six Yogas of Naropa
Tsongkhapa's Commentary
Tsongkhapa's commentary entitled A Book of Three Inspirations: A Treatise on the Stages of Training in the Profound Path of Naro's Six Dharmas is commonly referred to as The Three Inspirations. Anyone who has read more than a few books on Tibetan Buddhism will have encountered references to the Six Yogas of Naropa, a preeminent yogic technology system.

Check the actual planed width of the nominal 1 X 10 stock. I believe it is too narrow to make deep hive bodies.
Yeah. Most 1x10s are 9 1/4".
Buy the ticket, take the ride. -H.S. Thompson
Sorry 12" wide come's up to about $8.40 a box
If you cut down 1x10s for shallows, you can use the left over to make bases and covers. A sheet of 3/8" CDX works well for the rest of the covers, and you could use it for a standard baseboard too if you want. I use screens at the moment, might change.
Deeps have to come from 1x12s unless you are willing to glue boards together. This isn't a big deal if you use Titebond III and don't care if you can see the joint. It's going to be painted on the outside anyway, a slight off-set won't matter.
Good thing is that while expensive to start with, the woodenware should last decades if kept painted and in use -- frames warp badly if left outside in the weather.
I strongly recommend metal on covers of any type. Aluminum flashing is cheap and easy to bend, and the metal will result in a cover that lasts essentially forever. You can also add a fairly thick layer of newspaper underneath, and that adds insulation in a good place.
Once I get the yard under control (i.e. when it freezes) I have some projects to work on in the garage -- boxes for two or three more hives, a Dadant Deep (or whatever size I end up with using 1x12s) and a huge pile of frames.
At least this is an excuse to use all that woodworking equipment I have lying about!
Totally agree you just made me think about using my biscut jointer
I am toyin with the idea of a super deep of some description too. Thought of using two stacked medium boxes so I dont have to create any bastard boxes or use wide stock. I will be making custom length endbars to suit standard top and bottom bars. Seems like that would make endbars ~12 3/4 tall.
Just meditating on it!
I am with you guys on the inside dimensions. I was just running stock through my planer and called it good enough at just under an inch. I figured removing the planer skiffs was not worth the wear and tear on the equipment. I just added a ¼" to the outside dimension and hope the bees will forgive me for the stack of hives not being exactly flush. Built about a hundred frames last year and a bunch of boxes. Nothing is perfect (or exactly square) but I did not get any major brace comb in any of them.
I just changed direction and started gluing up my wood to a set of cider press plans. You should have seen the kids faces when I told them to stack all of the bee gear in the corner because we were 'switching gears'
Why do we fall, sir? So that we might learn to pick ourselves up Alfred Pennyworth Batman Begins (2005)
Fisherman, MP, Samoria Honey, others, ....The best way to build cheaper boxes is get the wood for free. Several years ago I got in with 4 or 5 roofers, and they save me their 1 X 12 cutoffs. (Boards are anywhere from 12 inches long, enough for a nuc, up to about 3 + feet, enough for a length or possibly front and length). 1 X 12 is used for roof sheeting. Unfortunately roofers are going away from 1 X 12, and there is not as much available as before, but it is still available. I get lots of it every year. Give them a jar or two honey occasionally and they will save for you. For my own boxes, (those I don't sell), I use 1 X 4, 1 X 6, 1 X 10, and glue with titebond lll to make my deeps and nucs. (After painting you will not see the difference from the outside.)
Also keep an eye out for buildings, schools, etc that are closing. They quite often have large quantities of 1 X 12 shelving in them that will be torn out and thrown away. Don't be bashful about asking the Realty Company or the Contractor what they are going to do with the shelving in the building.
A few good contractors are the beekeepers best friend when it comes to free wood. Most of them just throw away or burn their cutoffs and what they tear out. But, for a little honey, they will save the pieces for you.
As for a thickness planer, keep an eye out on Craigs list for a simple bench top, planer. You can pick up a Delta 22-540 or 22-560 for less than $150.00. New blades are $25 to $30.00. A Ryobi will be even less, DeWalt a little more, but, if you are only going to build a few boxes each year, they will do great. Cut your boards to length before planing and you don't place as much strain on these benchtop planers. Find a sawmill in your area, and give them a jar or two honey and have them save you short boards, boards with soft spots etc that they can't sell. They throw them away or sell as slabs, but I have good luck having them save them for me. If a 10 foot board has a bad spot in the middle, it will still make a box from the two ends. Sawmills don't normally fool with anything that is less than 8ft long. If you get wet wood, strip and stack, and let set for a year and it will cure.
Free is the way to go to cut down on lumber cost, but, lots of saw mills in Kentucky. Many of them Amish or Mennonite mills, and I have found them very easy to deal with.
Good tips Cleo. I don't think the roofers in my area use the 1x12's for sheathing with snow loads what they are it is heavy duty plywood for us. I will still keep an eye out for scrap (have had posts on Freecycle with no luck for while). I most definitely will ask the mills for shorter stock. I don't have much more room for stacking and curing wood without raising hackles of my other half.

Contra Costans are watching Alamo's MAC results!!
Original post made by Community courtesy, another community, on Jun 24, 2009
Contra Costans are becoming more one community with the advent of e-exchanges. This morning, Kensington, El Sobrante, Byron, Bay Point and those yet to be MACs such as Alamo and Dougherty Valley were having active discussions of what is possible for a CCC proscibed MAC?
Communities and neighborhoods are reviewing MAC's purpose and advantages in each current community designated to be served by a MAC.
"would we be better served by a city council, a special district and many more questions that various resident counsel throughout Contra Costa are answering in precise summary" said a Byron MAC supporter.
Former MAC members and supporters have clearly defined the lack of community service provided by current CCC-MAC policy and celebrate the CCC-BOS' review of current policies authorized at yesterday's CCC-BOS meeting. Communities are ready to sit with CCC-BOS' internal committee and explain the failure since MAC reconstitution in June 2oo6.
This seems to be a major opportunity for supervisors to truly be in service to communities, but time will tell.

I wonder if you will be the first or last to discovery that a MAC is not a substitute for a City or a Special District. It cannot be something it is not intended to be. Both Cities and Special Districts are independant from the County. MAC's are not.
Hal, you are right with two things; Some education needs to take place and I think "you" would be better served by a city council. Well sort of. First you either would have had to pass a few votes and second you would have to actually finance cityhood or a special district. Neither comes without finanical accountablity, fiscal revenue and a strict muster.
A simple question. If the MAC's were dissolved, which could be done at any time, then what are you left with? Hint; ask your County Supervisor- You don't get to pick another form of government. So do you really wish to eliminate this additional voice? So what is it you seek? My read is that you would eventually be dissatisfied with any form local government. But hey, that is just my opinion based on all of your posts. I certainly could be wrong.

Dear Dolores,
A personal response to Informed Resident was sent via your e-mail for forwarding.
For your readers: A Municipal Advisory Council, by State specification and as formed in many counties, is a valid voice for a region or community in consolidated presentation of the will and interests of the residents and their neighborhoods to county departments and the board of supervisors. In several interviews by counsel's analysts, MAC members in other counties illustrated their ability to formalize residents' positions as decision guidance for county departments and supervisors. More importantly, those MAC members discussed the trust and respect they are provided by county departments and supervisors.
The title MAC is misplaced in Contra Costa County because policy makes these groups outbound voices for supervisor's position, policy and decisions in what is typically called a community advisory committee. Corporations and governments use such committees to advise communities on their actions and gather the responses from residents in public hearings. There is no intention that such committees would be the voice of a community.
In May 2006, when district 3's supervisor authored the reconstitution of MACs to surrogate committees as volunteer extensions of district staff, neighborhoods' counsel detailed the logical impact and progression to destruction of MAC's relationships with their communities and regions. It is now not a question of dissolution of CCC-MACs because that has happened in fact as a function of county MAC policies.

Dear Readers,
As Gina C. Allen, Publisher, TDW, continues her role as Informed Resident, you must know that Embarcadero Publishing is committed to blind support of Contra Costa aggregated politics. This is campaign jargon aimed at personal attack and condescending destruction of any public commentary that is the will and interests of our region's residents.
If you wish contact with your neighborhoods, simply talk to your neighbors. Access to community discussion and e-exchanges will follow and you will be more a part of our real community as a result.
And everyone is welcome,

Dolores, how wonderful to see FORUM pseudonyms awake at this time of day (or is it DAZE).
During the past two plus years of TDW's Forum, nonsense has become the GROSS Domestic Product of many pseudonyms and I have enjoyed the escape from reality in dealing with the many thoughtless, condescensing and defamatory attacks on all manner of commentators.
I hope you had an opportunity to read the Reuter's discussion of MALLS and Shopping Centers concerning their decline. In this forum, we are discussing how to reverse the decline of our business district and how to provide the entire business district's corporations, investors, management and its many residents a common voice in the economic development of their district. Neighborhoods, in their discussions with the district investors and developers have focused on demand additions to the district. There are many more good ideas that have not been expressed by a very savvy, intelligent citizenry.
Even Informed Resident may prove herself exceptional and informed. Maybe that is too much to expect without Alamo Ron's help, but we can expect a smile and good ol' high school try, Right?

The only "help" I am getting is from you Hal. The sad part is that you don't even realize it.
It would be hypocrisy for you to make personal attacks in the very same post where you accuse me of the same wouldn't it? But you did it anyway. How about these fine examples that you so eloquently offered up;
"how wonderful to see FORUM pseudonyms awake at this time of day (or is it DAZE)."
"...nonsense has become the GROSS Domestic Product of many pseudonyms"
"Maybe that is too much to expect without Alamo Ron's help,..."
Are you making allowances just for yourself? You don't play very nice but apparently others have to?
You offer up offensive commentary but then when someone pushes back just a bit, you go running off like a small child, tattling to the teacher. Grow up Hal.

Dear Dolores,
Per a more detailed notice to you today, neighborhoods have been informed by CCC-BOS Internal Operations Committee that they will not entertain advisory from communities with current MACs or communities threatened with MAC formation. As a result, neighborhoods counsel has been requested to proceed with submission of formal requests for review of CCC-MAC policies by CCC Grand Jury. Joining Alamo and Dougherty Valley community of neighborhoods are several communities with current MACs in districts 3, 4, and 5.
That should focus all commentary on the issue of CCC-MAC policies and how MACs should effect voice for their communities and regions.
Let's move on,

Seriously, now you are casting negative dispersions on "when"' I post? Has that somehow become important or just another attempt at distraction.
Speaking of those distractions, when did "defamously" become an actual word? (It's OK that you made it up-I know what you meant).
I've tried to post facts which you conveniently twist into contempt at the very instant that you deflect your own actions on to others. It's really not that clever.
Very enchanting indeed. But not very effective.
Let's get back to the topic, it is much more interesting.

text: Executive order extends workplace protections to state workers At an April 28 ceremony commemorating Massachusetts workers killed and injured on the job in 2008, Gov. Deval Patrick announced an executive order that could help prevent state employees from meeting a similar fate. The executive order calls for the establishment of safety committees in all state agencies to document workplace hazards and safety measures needed. Safety experts and unions have been calling for the state to establish safety protections for public employees for years, but prior to the Patrick administration had been rebuffed. "This Executive Order demonstrates the governor's commitment to protecting the health and safety of state employees in a truly meaningful way," announced Suzanne M. Bump, Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development, Commonwealth of Massachusetts. "We look forward to working closely with our employees' representatives to improve the safety of our state workforce." Unlike their counterparts in the private sector, public employees in the Commonwealth are not covered by safety requirements under the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). When OSHA was enacted in the 1970s, it gave states the option to extend safety protections to public employees. Though 27 states already apply these regulations to public employees, Massachusetts does not. "State employees do jobs that are just as or more dangerous than those in the private sector," said Marcy Goldstein-Gelb, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health, of which MTA is a member organization. "We applaud the governor for taking this essential step toward instituting safety measures that will most certainly prevent more needless workplace injuries, illnesses and deaths." Each year, Commonwealth residents spend more than $50 million in workers' compensation costs for injuries and illnesses incurred by state employees alone. According to data provided by New Hampshire's Department of Labor, after implementing OSHA protections to state employees in 1998, the state of New Hampshire reduced their workers comp claims by an average of 51 percent -- and between the years 2001 and 2004 they saved $3.3 million. A report released in April by MassCOSH and the Massachusetts AFL-CIO highlighted a state electrical worker who suffered an injury in 2008. An investigation by the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Safety found that the accident might have been prevented had the state instituted a number of basic safety measures which would have been required under OSHA. MassCOSH, a nonprofit coalition representing more than 100,000 workers, health and safety professionals and unions, promotes safe, secure jobs and healthy communities throughout eastern and central Massachusetts. Executive Order No. 511

OK, so I checked my hives and it appears all have made it through the mild winter here in upstate New York. All are Carniolans and I left them plenty of stores. Left the Screened bottom boards open this year with cafeteria trays (mite trays) about 2" below to block direct wind. Used black roofing felt stapled to the wooden hives for solar gain, but didn't do anything special to the polystyrene hives (BeeMax).
Just checked two hives today rather quickly since the temperature was 50 degrees and I didn't want to chill brood. Found eggs in one hive, but didn't find eggs or brood in the other (although I didn't check all the frames, just the ones on the sunny side where most of the bees were). Here's a question. I found a drone! As far as I know, drones don't forage (or rob other hives). So, can I assume this drone was from the hive even though I didn't see any brood? We had a very warm January, and I was surprised to see so many bees in the hive considering they are carni's, which usually have a small winter cluster this time of year. I'm wondering if they started raising some mid-winter brood in January (with temp's in the 40-50's) and then shut down again in February once the cold returned. Any thoughts?

This appartment has everything you need. The host is reliable and takes her business serious. Would recommend! Wouter
This was a great apartment located about 30 minutes walking from the center. Free street parking nearby as well, which was very convenient for us! The kitchen was my favorite part because we wanted to save money by cooking instead of eating out - Laura's kitchen was equipped with everything we needed! The room itself was ok - a big bed and a balcony. We wished that there had been a fan because it was so hot during our stay. We also wished that the sheets were a bit softer, they were pretty old and worn out. Other than that, it was very pleasant and we would definitely stay here again! Also a bonus, the two cats at the apartment were very friendly and cute, we had lots of fun playing with them! And even though we were staying in the apartment with two permenante roommates, we felt like we had lots of privacy and welcomed at the same time :)
Everything was just like in description. We have spent a few very nice days at Mallorca. Thanks :)
The room was big and comfortable for two person. Private bathroom was also perfect.
Laura is a very friendly and helpfull lady. I checked in late at night because of my flight's delay, but Laura met me very kindly.
I can confirm and recommend this place to anybody coming to Palma de Mallorca.
We had a really nice time staying at her place. It is a nice room with enough space for two people. The seperated bath is nice.
We had a great time at Laura .de room is pretty and nice and clean .Thank dear Laura and maeva for the good time we had with you .big hug andt Kiss from is .greetings frans jolanda Sabrina en melanie
we hope to see you again in our living place holland groningen
Laura is a great, helpful and friendly host. Flat was very clean, our room was very comfortable(big wardrobe, desk, big bed). The kitchen was fully equipped. Unfortunately we didn't get towels :( but we spent there only one night so it was not a big problem for us. We definitely recommend staying in Laura's place !

text: I have an opportunity to do something I've never done before. I've been asked to keep bees on a few thousand acres of irrigated pastureland. Unfortunately, there's not a lot growing on it besides grass. But the farmer said I could sow anything I want as long as cows could eat it. It's not farmed only grazed and it would likely bloom for quite a while. I'm thinking Alfalfa, yellow and white clover, Tanacetifolia (although I'm not sure cows will eat this). Anything else anyone would suggest that's done something like this? Looking for something that provides good nutrition plus nice honey. Thanx!

There may not be many of the new generation NZV8 cars contesting this year's championship, but that doesn't make Jason Bargwanna's job any easier as he arrives in Taupo for round five of the national championship.
Not only is there a bag full of series points on offer, but drivers will be racing for the Jason Richards Memorial Trophy in the final hit-out of the weekend.
The trophy commemorates Kiwi V8 Supercar driver Richards, who died of cancer in 2011 aged 35.
Richards, from Nelson, claimed three New Zealand Touring Car Championships between 1999 and 2001 and went on to a career in V8 Supercars.
Bargwanna, in one of the new generation Holdens, has been hounded by young Hamiltonian Martin Short, also in a new car, all season and holds a slender lead of 12 points over the Toyota driver.
"When there aren't that many cars on the grid people think it might looks easy," said Bargwanna. "But because there are so few cars, every single little point means so much in the championship.
"Even if the opposition is having a bad day they are still only a few points back from you. I remember one of the best F1 seasons I ever watched was Senna and Prost back in the day.
"That season there were only two cars in the race. There might have [been others] on the grid but the real battle only came down to two people. Those two guys went head-to-head all season."
Bargwanna and Short have been in a similar situation all season long, and it's likely to be the same in Taupo.
Short knows he has to put it all on the line this weekend if he wants to get ahead of Bargwanna in the points before heading to the last round at Pukekohe, April 12-14.
"I'm feeling really positive going into Taupo," he said. "I've been training hard and I think my mindset's quite good. We've always gone quite well at Taupo so, bring it on".
In the third race at each NZV8 round, the fast new cars start behind the original-specification cars and also have to make a pit stop to change a wheel. It makes for a fair amount of passing and action.
Short will be joined this weekend by another Richards Team Motorsport Toyota, piloted by Brent Collins, who won the first Toyota Racing Series in 2005.
He has had little top-flight racing in recent years, and is keen to show the fans he's still got what it takes to mix it with the rest of the field.
"I've been karting and I've been racing a Mazda RX7 with a V8 engine in historic events, setting lap records at Timaru and Teretonga," saidCollins.
Nick Ross is third in the new-car class, 96 points behind Short.
Teenage brothers AJ and Brad Lauder are first and second respectively in the original cars category, and Varney is third.
These cars are also eligible for the Jason Richards Memorial Trophy and one could well win it, as they do not have to make a pit stop.
It's the final round of the Formula Ford championship at Taupo, with Brendon Leitch holding a slender three-point lead over rookie James Munro.
Also finishing at Taupo is the Endurance championship, and the programme also includes Formula First, Pre-65s and different categories of BMWs.

what is the clearance fit between the piston and spigot?
I am designing my own version of the 308 AR-16 right now and thinking about a gas system that doesn't weigh too much. I'm not sure I'll go to using titanium but I'm still sorting out designs.
what is the clearance fit between the piston and spigot?
awesome and i take it that the piston is the same length as the ribbed part of the spigot?
one more stupid question chopper..... where is the hole for the gas port? is that the one that is punched from the top through to the barrel and if so how does the gas not just escape as the same hole is punched through the spigot?
edit.... nevermind i noticed the hole is only halfway through as there is no scallop on the top of the spigot!
Thanks again chopper!
Great design. I will try that out soon.
Here are some ideas to make this quick-adjustable:
Drill gas entry holes of different diameter radially where your through hole with the set screw is. (these holes only go to the axial hole and not all the way through)
Move the pin that holds the spigot in place off center towards the barrel, like the barrel pin of an AK. This pin engages in a circular grove in the spigot. Now we can rotate the spigot and select one of the ports we drilled before. A spring loaded indexing ball installed in the gas block would hold the spigot in the right position.
that would work real good,thanks
thanks for sharing!

[quote user="Kakaru"][quote user="BlueBlitzer"]The AFC scares no one. I mean who do they have ? The Patsies haven't won it since what ? 05 ? The last time the Steelers won it was against the 8-8 Cardinals ( And they needed a " Pick Six going Coast To Coast to win it. ) The Colts are back to being the Dolts. The Ravens offense, just can't get it done. The Chargers got old, and their not called the " Lords Of The Ringless " for nothing.The Jets crash and burn year after year. The NFC has the Giants, Packers, Saints, Niners, Lions, and even the Falcons who you cannot take lightly. NFC Dominates.[/quote]
The Cardinals were 9-7 that season, same as the 2011 Giants*
Lots of teams have been 9-7. But not only did Big Blue win the SB, they stopped perfection when no other team could.
Que Al Michaels
" The Giant Fans will dine on that baby for a long long time ". ( Oh wait, not that long, we just won it again )

Jonathan Eisen:
Meet your microbes
Our bodies are covered in a sea of microbes — both the pathogens that make us sick and the "good" microbes, about which we know less, that might be keeping us healthy. At TEDMED, microbiologist Jonathan Eisen shares what we know, including some surprising ways to put those good microbes to work.

On Wickenden Street with a friend, looking for a reasonably priced lunch, it occurred to me that a nice bowl of donburi would be cheap and filling. Sakura it was.
The place is clean and simple, with paper sheaths of break-apart chopsticks on paper napkins serving for place settings. There are four chairs at the counter, in case you want to watch rapid-fire slicing and rolling. We sat beneath a cloth wall hanging depicting a bulging sumo wrestler, thereby assuring that no amount of stuffing ourselves would seem like overeating.
They certainly give you plenty of midday meal choices. In addition to the fresh sushi that Sakura has a good reputation for serving, and the seaweed-wrapped rolls, there are two lunch menus. The sushi-specific one is served from 11 am to 4 pm, priced at $8.95 and $9.95. A typical item is the fish-free veggie "sushi," and another interesting choice is the okayo don, which has slices of salmon topped with salmon roe served on a bed of sushi rice.
The other lunch list is served from noon to 4 pm and is even less expensive. For $8.25 you can get soup and salad plus various choices over white rice, from salmon, tuna, or whitefish, to a gingered-up pork cutlet or beef barbecued or teriyaki-ed.
I'd heard that the service could be indifferent at best. That's not surprising: a place that is open from 11 am to 11 pm, seven days a week, should make sure that your server hands you cutlery pointy ends away from you. But while it was hard to catch the attention of our waitress, she made no threatening gestures — and on a brief return visit when things weren't busy, she managed a hint of a smile and offered me tea while I was waiting for a take-out order. Sweet.
Chef's specials are listed on chalkboards and printed table cards. Much of the fun of my meal was all the imaginary eating that could go on before we actually ordered. Those specials are mostly rolls, priced from $7.95 for chicken tempura, to $18.95 for a spicy lobster tempura maki roll. Some of the names are entertaining, such as the "Crazy Roll." Is spicy salmon with mango and avocado dangerously out-of-control? In the "I Love You" roll, the cucumber is probably there to cool down the ardor of the spicy lobster and tuna.
It's great that a number of tempura rolls are featured ($8.75-$5 75). I've always loved the warm and crunchy contrast to the cold and soft rice. There is a veggie version and an oyster one, and a Rhode Island tempura roll that unaccountably contains salmon, avocado, and cream cheese. I thought avocado was the California state vegetable.
As you can see, when it came to the actual ordering and eating, we were primed. We started with sharing a seaweed salad ($4), since I didn't want to impose tentacles on my friend and order the tako (octopus) salad ($7.25). Good decision. Thin green strands of wakame (I think it was) were mixed with some as translucent as cellophane. It was dressed with toasted sesame oil, which you could put on actual cellophane and please me, then sprinkled with sesame seeds. I wouldn't have had it any other way.

|Uma Thurman
In the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar UK, cover model Uma Thurman talks about her time spent with recently-deceased actress Natasha Richardson whom she worked with on the indie Chelsea Walls. "She would have a plan on arrival anywhere and would be carving the best out of life and every situation and every person. She wasn't as much a passenger as I am, which made us great companions in life… because every driver needs a passenger and every passenger needs a driver. So it's a big loss in my life." But like most of the actors who have been touched by Natasha's friendship, Uma's moving on with some pretty high-profile projects. She's set to play Medusa in the Chris Colombus-directed family adventure Percy Jackson which is currently shooting in Vancouver until July. Expect it to come out sometime next year.

From Lisa:
What a great place to be for the holidays!! Sandy, Steve, and Ryan have been kind enough to open up their home for us to stay for the couple of weeks we're back in the States before heading to South Africa on January 9th! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
After 13 weeks backpacking through Europe and 10 weeks in the Mexican Jungle -- it is SO nice to be back with family and friends for Christmas. The tree smells so good and the decorations are beautiful. And we have MEAT to eat!! Woo Hoo! Mexico was a bit challenging with only a vegetarian menu, but I'm fast making up for lost time. The Outback restaurant gift certificates were most welcome. We're headed to New Orleans for the New Year and some yummy Cajun food, too
It's impossible to describe how awesome the Mexican beach stay in Pez Maya, with so much diving and coral reef research, was to experience -- even without running water or a refrigerator. :-) It was an incredible time of personal growth to face physical and mental challenges neither of us had faced in quite a long time. We carried scuba gear and hoisted heavy tanks while cramming our heads full of species of fish and coral. We met friends that I'm sure we'll carry with us for other travels around the world -- and I gained a new appreciation for the power of the ocean and what it can do to a small boat! :-) We've put in a few of our favorite pictures of the trip for you to enjoy.
Hope you've had fun with us for the Mexican "Total Immersion" adventure. Hang on for even more fun as we head to South Africa to the Karongwe and Venetia Limpopo Nature Reserves for Big 5 Animal Studies and reserve impact management. Should be some great photo ops! :-) Take care everyone and Happy New Year!!
From Cheryl:
It is hard to believe how fast these 10 weeks in Mexico went
Being home.. that is a great feeling. The holidays, friends, and family have been a wonderful home coming! I truly miss my Pez Maya home and family a bunch too! I hope you all see this and know that I am thinking of you and hoping you are all well and traveling safe!
South Africa?? Who even knows what to expect and what challenges lie ahead, but, I know anything is possible!
Have a Happy New Year!! Feliz Ano Nueve!!

SIM Card Forensics
So anyway, slight price difference there. I ended up receiving my card reader today and plugged my SIM card in. I had access to the data using the included software with no problem. Trying to access the data through Windows Explorer just came up with the "no disk" message.
I'm wondering if anyone else has done much here and/or whether you could recommend some other software (non-commercial). I'm curious about being able to recover deleted SMS/text messages (possibly removed phone numbers). No real project or anything, just personal interest. I've googled for other software packages and have come across a few (haven't tried 'em yet), but thought I'd post ahead of time.

I have been using Orlane products for a while now and continue to see amazing results, especially since Orlane came out with their B21 Extraordinaire Serum. When I use this with my Creme Royale Serum over it, the results take off 10 years. If you want a great neck cream, try the Firming Neck & Decolette Serum.
Written by Kit from Scottsdale, AZ on November 01, 2015
I have been using Orlane's absolute skin recovery care eye contour over 15 years and I can honestly say it is a wonderful product, it refreshes the eye area and helps reduce puffiness and lines around the eye area.
Written by Wilma Calderon on August 05, 2013
I recently ordered a cleanser from Orlane. I have been using it for 35 years and plan to use it forever! Hard to find in Australia so I really appreciate online shopping with an efficent and reliable company i.e. FragranceNet!
