Lioness, that is really hurtful and frustrating. Are you doing the 180 and taking care of yourself? Live your best life and let him do whatever it is that he does-- you can't control or change him, only he can do that. So hard but so necessary.... Good luck.

Hi Boston girl
Yea I finally had to throw my hands up and give up.
Around halloween he asked to reconcile a week before thanksgiving he turns everything against me. "I wasn't working" "his family is looking out foR him".
I realized he wanted the Easy way let's haVe sex and say sorry and get apt together. All will be well for him save money and have all access to dd.
Then his depression and his embarassment trumped what I am going through.
Its just so distracting.
I told him to leave me alone.
LionessQn76 posted 12/10/2011 21:35 PM
I used the wrong term I meant is this his way of trying to get me to ask about the counseling and get me to ask if we were still going to reconcile since he was going to counseling?
Since finding this group I'm more aware but still learning.I plan on reading books on pa /codependency in the next week.
Unfortunately I still have to deal with him because we have a 2 year old daughter.
And I shouldn't care but I'm still working on detaching and finding myself.

I too came from an overly aggressive family. STBX family was always saving face. I remember from the beginning telling him I didn't want to feel like I was his mom. It took going to MC for me to realize how enraged I had become at the fact that I had to set every rule, every boundary, spell every single detail out about what was acceptable behavior. Before therapy he would play "you said I couldn't do that, not this" as therapy went on I remember I told our therapist I was sick of babysitting him. I didn't need to tell him what I needed...he should've known by now. I was getting fed up. He pretended to straighten up. That lasted a month. Then it went down down downhill. I asked for a divorce 2 weeks before DDay. I didn't even think he would agree and that crushed me. He seemed so relieved that I said it for him. Douchebag. Im so much better than that. I don't need to be told what to do. I'm a grown woman and act accordingly!

Excellent article on gaslighting...
I found this on the Huffington Post, author is Yashar Ali. Originally posted at his blog: The Current Conscience - www.currentconscience.com
A Message to Women From a Man: You Are Not "Crazy"
You're so sensitive. You're so emotional. You're defensive. You're overreacting. Calm down. Relax. Stop freaking out! You're crazy! I was just joking, don't you have a sense of humor? You're so dramatic. Just get over it already!
Sound familiar?
If you're a woman, it probably does.
Do you ever hear any of these comments from your spouse, partner, boss, friends, colleagues, or relatives after you have expressed frustration, sadness, or anger about something they have done or said?
When someone says these things to you, it's not an example of inconsiderate behavior. When your spouse shows up half an hour late to dinner without calling -- that's inconsiderate behavior. A remark intended to shut you down like, "Calm down, you're overreacting," after you just addressed someone else's bad behavior, is emotional manipulation, pure and simple.
And this is the sort of emotional manipulation that feeds an epidemic in our country, an epidemic that defines women as crazy, irrational, overly sensitive, unhinged. This epidemic helps fuel the idea that women need only the slightest provocation to unleash their (crazy) emotions. It's patently false and unfair.
I think it's time to separate inconsiderate behavior from emotional manipulation, and we need to use a word not found in our normal vocabulary.
I want to introduce a helpful term to identify these reactions: gaslighting.
Gaslighting is a term often used by mental health professionals (I am not one) to describe manipulative behavior used to confuse people into thinking their reactions are so far off base that they're crazy.
The term comes from the 1944 MGM film, Gaslight, starring Ingrid Bergman. Bergman's husband in the film, played by Charles Boyer, wants to get his hands on her jewelry. He realizes he can accomplish this by having her certified as insane and hauled off to a mental institution. To pull of this task, he intentionally sets the gaslights in their home to flicker off and on, and every time Bergman's character reacts to it, he tells her she's just seeing things. In this setting, a gaslighter is someone who presents false information to alter the victim's perception of him or herself.
Today, when the term is referenced, it's usually because the perpetrator says things like, "You're so stupid," or "No one will ever want you," to the victim. This is an intentional, pre-meditated form of gaslighting, much like the actions of Charles Boyer's character in Gaslight, where he strategically plots to confuse Ingrid Bergman's character into believing herself unhinged.
The form of gaslighting I'm addressing is not always pre-mediated or intentional, which makes it worse, because it means all of us, especially women, have dealt with it at one time or another.
Those who engage in gaslighting create a reaction -- whether it's anger, frustration, sadness -- in the person they are dealing with. Then, when that person reacts, the gaslighter makes them feel uncomfortable and insecure by behaving as if their feelings aren't rational or normal.
My friend Anna (all names changed to protect privacy) is married to a man who feels it necessary to make random and unprompted comments about her weight. Whenever she gets upset or frustrated with his insensitive comments, he responds in the same, defeating way, "You're so sensitive. I'm just joking."
My friend Abbie works for a man who finds a way, almost daily, to unnecessarily shoot down her performance and her work product. Comments like, "Can't you do something right?" or "Why did I hire you?" are regular occurrences for her. Her boss has no problem firing people (he does it regularly), so you wouldn't know from these comments that Abbie has worked for him for six years. But every time she stands up for herself and says, "It doesn't help me when you say these things," she gets the same reaction: "Relax; you're overreacting."
Abbie thinks her boss is just being a jerk in these moments, but the truth is, he is making those comments to manipulate her into thinking her reactions are out of whack. And it's exactly that kind manipulation that has left her feeling guilty about being sensitive, and as a result, she has not left her job.
But gaslighting can be as simple as someone smiling and saying something like, "You're so sensitive," to somebody else. Such a comment may seem innocuous enough, but in that moment, the speaker is making a judgment about how someone else should feel.
While dealing with gaslighting isn't a universal truth for women, we all certainly know plenty of women who encounter it at work, home, or in personal relationships.
And the act of gaslighting does not simply affect women who are not quite sure of themselves. Even vocal, confident, assertive women are vulnerable to gaslighting.
Because women bare the brunt of our neurosis. It is much easier for us to place our emotional burdens on the shoulders of our wives, our female friends, our girlfriends, our female employees, our female colleagues, than for us to impose them on the shoulders of men.
It's a whole lot easier to emotionally manipulate someone who has been conditioned by our society to accept it. We continue to burden women because they don't refuse our burdens as easily. It's the ultimate cowardice.
Whether gaslighting is conscious or not, it produces the same result: It renders some women emotionally mute.
These women aren't able to clearly express to their spouses that what is said or done to them is hurtful. They can't tell their boss that his behavior is disrespectful and prevents them from doing their best work. They can't tell their parents that, when they are being critical, they are doing more harm than good.
When these women receive any sort of push back to their reactions, they often brush it off by saying, "Forget it, it's okay."
That "forget it" isn't just about dismissing a thought, it is about self-dismissal. It's heartbreaking.
No wonder some women are unconsciously passive aggressive when expressing anger, sadness, or frustration. For years, they have been subjected to so much gaslighting that they can no longer express themselves in a way that feels authentic to them.
They say, "I'm sorry," before giving their opinion. In an email or text message, they place a smiley face next to a serious question or concern, thereby reducing the impact of having to express their true feelings.
You know how it looks: "You're late :)"
These are the same women who stay in relationships they don't belong in, who don't follow their dreams, who withdraw from the kind of life they want to live.
Since I have embarked on this feminist self-exploration in my life and in the lives of the women I know, this concept of women as "crazy" has really emerged as a major issue in society at large and an equally major frustration for the women in my life, in general.
From the way women are portrayed on reality shows, to how we condition boys and girls to see women, we have come to accept the idea that women are unbalanced, irrational individuals, especially in times of anger and frustration.
Just the other day, on a flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles, a flight attendant who had come to recognize me from my many trips asked me what I did for a living. When I told her that I write mainly about women, she immediately laughed and asked, "Oh, about how crazy we are?"
Her gut reaction to my work made me really depressed. While she made her response in jest, her question nonetheless makes visible a pattern of sexist commentary that travels through all facets of society on how men view women, which also greatly impacts how women may view themselves.
As far as I am concerned, the epidemic of gaslighting is part of the struggle against the obstacles of inequality that women constantly face. Acts of gaslighting steal their most powerful tool: their voice. This is something we do to women every day, in many different ways.
I don't think this idea that women are "crazy," is based in some sort of massive conspiracy. Rather, I believe it's connected to the slow and steady drumbeat of women being undermined and dismissed, on a daily basis. And gaslighting is one of many reasons why we are dealing with this public construction of women as "crazy."
I recognize that I've been guilty of gaslighting my women friends in the past (but never my male friends--surprise, surprise). It's shameful, but I'm glad I realized that I did it on occasion and put a stop to it.
While I take total responsibility for my actions, I do believe that I, along with many men, am a byproduct of our conditioning. It's about the general insight our conditioning gives us into admitting fault and exposing any emotion.
When we are discouraged in our youth and early adulthood from expressing emotion, it causes many of us to remain steadfast in our refusal to express regret when we see someone in pain from our actions.
When I was writing this piece, I was reminded of one of my favorite Gloria Steinem quotes, "The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn."
So for many of us, it's first about unlearning how to flicker those gaslights and learning how to acknowledge and understand the feelings, opinions, and positions of the women in our lives.
But isn't the issue of gaslighting ultimately about whether we are conditioned to believe that women's opinions don't hold as much weight as ours? That what women have to say, what they feel, isn't quite as legitimate?

Lioness my IC has helped me tons in that area. Its one of the reasons why STBX and I really started to argue over everything out loud. I was sick of his crap and I started to unleash on him unapologetically. The best thing I did for myself was going to counseling. I talked about my anger a lot and it felt amazing to hear from my therapist that my feelings are normal, that I don't overreact...STBX was always underreacting and trying to control me. Now when I feel angry I repeat in my head "its normal to feel angry" or "I have every right to feel angry because of this". Sounds simple but you start to believe in yourself after awhile.

heartbroken, that is a GREAT article--thanks for sharing it.
About expressing anger--this was a big deal for us too. I was very angry about his passiveness and withdrawal, and of course my anger only made him withdraw further. What a vicious circle.
Our first round of MC did a really good job of identifying the issue but nothing to fix it. Every session would end with him saying "I know I need to step up", and then he wouldn't actually follow through on whatever he said he'd do. I just got madder and madder and it was a disaster.
With further IC I realized a lot of my anger was redirected sadness. My husband has also never, I mean NEVER, been able to deal with my sadness. I mean, not even able to give me a hug and say, "I'm sorry that happened, I hope you feel better." Regardless of its cause--when I have lost out on jobs I wanted, or a friend had a serious health threat, he couldn't support me at all. Literally, perfect strangers (on the bus, over the internet) would console me more than my husband ever would or could.
This time around in MC, this dynamic has started to change. He has worked hard on staying present in the face of my sadness and it's made a world of difference.
He is starting to understand how much of my anger was due to a combination of feeling sad/abandoned because I had to deal with more than my share of the responsibilities in our marriage--there were so many things I did because I knew he wouldn't, and I knew he wouldn't help me even if I asked--and then knowing that it was futile even to show my sadness, that he didn't care enough about me to respond to my sadness either.
God, writing that out in plain English makes it so clear how valid my dissatisfaction was...
He is finally starting to understand how much he took for granted and how his behavior elicited the anger he claims to hate so much.
I still have a lot of things I'm angry about and he's doing a much better job about staying present for that too.
The absolute kicker of it all? He never was able to comfort me in my sadness, even through our 5 year courtship. I remember explaining to him time and time again why it meant so much to me, and he never took it seriously, or at least seriously enough to really act on. This was 15+ years ago...our marriage would have gone so, so much differently if he had actually taken that to heart all those years ago.
I wish I could go back and tell my 25 year old self what a red flag that was. I remember wrestling with this issue when I was trying to decide about getting married. I remember finally deciding, I 'll keep talking about it and he'll start doing it because he'll realize how much it means to me. Maybe I was right, but it took 13 years and the total nuclear meltdown of our marriage for that message to start to sink in.
If I only knew then what I know now... a guy with a mild personality is not necessarily a nice guy.
LionessQn76 posted 12/12/2011 09:25 AM
Thanx ladies for responding as soon as I have insurance I'm definitely going to IC.
I need to learn to let the angries out and I need learn assertiveness training.
Heartbroken this article made me cry last night. Being physically and emotionally abused as a child made me a people pleaser and made push down my anger, and have no self esteem,not to mention how intimidated I am by angry women. I finally have to face this. I am not reaching my potential and I deserve more and I can do better.
I had the opposite my X was very consoling and loving during my time of need. Until his mother interfered in our relationship after dd was born 2 yrs ago. Then the affair while I had untreated ppd happen. Now it is chore for him to comfort me which hurts me even more considering our closeness in the past.

That is a great article. I have read all the books cited at the end of it and they are good too. The Terry Real books in particular are great and his book The New Rules of Marriage is the one that has made the biggest difference in my MC with my husband--we specifically looked for a counselor who was trained in/uses that framework, which is basically like a playbook for having a good relationship.
Another really good description of passive-aggressiveness is in this book:
The chapter on "Sneaky Anger" is EXACTLY what it is like living with my husband.

Thank you heartbroken..
I have been searching SI all day today - for my "ah-ha" moment when reading posts, and this is it!
I learned early on that expressing my emotions made my H uncomfortable, so I began to keep them inside and slowly began to feel ashamed of them.
When I would show my feelings, my H would shut me down by saying..."oh, you're being over-sensitive", "you're really taking it the wrong way", or "you shouldn't feel that way, I'm just kidding around"....
It's so dismissive and demeaning to be told you shouldn't feel the way you feel!
You begin to question yourself and lose your spontaneity...
My H doesn't tend to give value to my opinions about things either, interpreting my differences of opinion as "not supporting him" or "deliberately going against him".
Not true.
As I learn more about P/A relationships, and with awareness and effort, I am becoming less intimidated, and increasingly dare to keep my own power.
It's a long, hard road. My H is responding, and we are beginning, just beginning, to change the dynamics.
I read something once that went something like this...
Truly healthy people:
Feel what they feel, not what they are "supposed" to feel
Think what they think, not what they are "supposed" to think
See what they see, not what they are "supposed" to see
Believe what they believe, not what they are "supposed" to believe
Like what they like, not what they are "supposed" to like
Dream what they dream, not what they are "supposed" to dream...
I used to have it on my fridge -
SI is an amazing resource for us, isn't it??? I'm grateful..

BH here. It seems that most p/a H's described in this thread are WH, not BH.
Here's my story: Shortly after DD, I was visiting other divorce support sites, and came across a similar thread on p/a, and I read all of the linked articles on p/a. I literally said "holy shit, that's me" out loud more than once. This knowledge then led me to go to an IC. My IC told me that p/a was easy to cure once the person realizes and admit to themselves that they engage in this behavior. Essentially, in my case, the cure is to be willing to engage in a disagreement with WW (usually prolonged), rather than "suffering in silence" in order to avoid a confrontation. In my case, I was raised in a family where confrontations were always avoided.
For the wives on this thread, IMO I don't think you will be able to change your H's p/a behavior until they admit to themselves that they are p/a. Being men and p/a, they are more likely to do so if they read an article themselves, as opposed to being told so by you.
BostonGirl posted 12/31/2011 21:16 PM
Hi, Alonelyagain,
Welcome to the discussion. It's absolutely terrific that you recognized that pattern in yourself and are working to change-- rare and wonderful.
You are absolutely right that change comes from within and trying to get another person to change is difficult if not impossible. My H is finally starting to get it and to change, but truly, what finally got him to open his eyes about it was encountering some of the same harmful and frustrating behaviors from his aging parents when he was trying to care for them in their failing health. I finally was able to point out to him how his parents were treating him in the same ways he had treated me and the light started to go on. Wish us luck, we have a long way to go.
By the way, I am the WS in the marriage. Absolutely, my husband's p/a led to a severe breakdown in our marriage--he would not and could not engage in any discussion of concerns or problems in our marriage, just kept withdrawing further. After many years of this. I just looked outside the marriage for affection and sex, which were long absent from our M and which my H appeared more than willing to give up forever. I hasten to add, I take full responsibility for my extramarital involvements--but I would have much rather had that connection and intimacy with the man I married, and his p/a nature meant that asking for what I wanted guaranteed I wouldn't get it.
It's ugly stuff. Glad you're getting past it!

Mager, Struss lead Tigers
Zach Struss and Brandon Mager were the last Pine River-Backus players to walk off the football field after a 24-12 homecoming win over the Blackduck Drakes on Friday, Oct. 11.
They were enjoying the moment after Struss, a sophomore quarterback, threw four touchdown passes to Mager, a senior receiver in the North Star Conference victory.
"(Blackduck) was playing off me all night," said Mager, who had 10 receptions for 147 yards. "We kept running the underneath routes. And I also used my speed to get open deep."
Mager has now been on the receiving end of 10 of Struss' 12 touchdown passes this season.
"Brandon is so fast off the line, and is able to get open," Struss said. "I didn't have a receiver that fast on junior varsity last year."
Struss found Mager open in the end zone to open the scoring with 1:38 remaining in the opening quarter. The touchdown came on a fourth-down-and-goal play from the 10-yard line that capped a 14-play drive that lasted almost six minutes. The conversion run failed but the host team led 6-0.
PR-B forced Blackduck to punt on their next series, and the Tigers began another long scoring drive on their 35-yard line early in the second quarter. Nine plays later, PR-B scored when hauled in a 20-yard scoring reception. The two-point conversion again failed, but the Tigers had a 12-0 lead at 5:02 of the quarter.
The Tigers quickly made it 18-0 as the Drakes fumbled the kick return and PR-B recovered at the Drakes' 37. On the first play, Mager was able to sneak behind the Blackduck defenders and pulled in Struss' pass for another touchdown. The conversion pass failed.
The Drakes did respond with a touchdown 3:36 later when quarterback Jacob Krabbenhoft scambled 18 yards into the end zone on a third-down play to make it 18-6. The conversion run failed.
PR-B started another long scoring drive early in the third quarter. The 16-play drive ended on a fourth-down pass from Struss to Mager that covered 15 yards. The conversion pass failed, but the Tigers had a 24-6 lead with 2:24 remaining in the third period.
"Blackduck had more guys up the middle focusing on stopping the run, but that left room on the side for Brandon to get open," said PR-B coach Tom Demars. "Zach and Brandon has been a nice combination for us this year. Brandon is a three-year starter with great hands, and Zach throws a good ball."
A light rain began to intensify in the fourth quarter, which made any possible comeback by the Drakes even more challenging.
Blackduck did turn the ball over on downs around midfield early in the fourth quarter, and PR-B was able to drive to the Drakes' 18 before turning the ball back over on a failed fourth-down play. Blackduck then started its own long 17-play drive to score on Cooper Jedlicka 3-yard run with 28.4 seconds remaining. The conversion run failed and the Tigers led 24-12.
PR-B then killed the final seconds off the clock to improve to 6-1 overall on the season, and clinched at least a share of the North Star Conference title. The Tigers can clinch the conference title outright with a win at Pillager at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 16.
"That will be a big game since we're 5-0 and Pillager is 4-1 against teams in our half of the conference," Demars said.
PR-B displayed a balanced offensive attack with 192 yards rushing while Struss completed 14 passes for 201 yards.
The Drakes dropped to 3-4 overall despite 85 yards rushing by Jedlicka.
Blackduck 0 6 0 6 — 12
Pine River-Backus 6 12 6 0 — 24

My thoughts on Devil's Canyon
Posted on 14th Jul 2014 at 09:17 by Antony Leather with 19 comments
That's not to say it's pulling out of the PC market - far from it. However, we haven't seen the kind of performance increases in new architectures or refreshes/ticks that we have done in the past. Even after AMD was placed firmly in catchup mode following the release of the first Core architecture, we still saw significant improvements in performance, for example, in the move from LGA775's Penryn and Wolfdale to Clarkdale and again from Clarkdale/Lynnfield/Nehalem to Sandy Bridge.
There was a huge leap in performance going from a dual core Core 2 CPU to the dual core Core i5-530, which even gave previous generation quad cores such as the Q6600 a run for their money. Only in specific tests do we see anywhere near this level of performance increase in the post-Sandy Bridge era, and even then, the argument for upgrading, even including the LGA1155 to LGA1150 socket change, is only strong if you own a Sandy Bridge system: Ivy Bridge and Haswell owners needn't bother, although the additional features provided by the Z97 chipset may well temp you too.
However, there's another very good reason for upgrading to Devil's Canyon. Overclocking. It seems that as well as providing smoother power delivery and a better thermal interface material (I should add that people are still delidding these CPUs and seeing better cooling though), Intel has been speed-binning CPUs.
In short, the widely varying overclocks we saw with Ivy Bridge and Haswell, which ranged from 4.3GHz to 5GHz, appear to be a thing of the past and the vast majority of new CPUs, the Pentium G3258 Anniversary Edition included, can reach 4.8GHz with relative ease. It's always been a lottery with CPUs and overclocking and retailers have often cherry picked CPUs too and sold them at higher prices for guaranteed overclocks. You'd need a good CPU cooler, and for some reason, 4.8GHz appear to be the limit unless you drastically boost the CPU voltage, but even so, this is 300-400MHz faster than you'd expect from a typical Core i5-4670K retail sample.
To prove our point, as Intel annoyingly didn't ship out a Core i5-4690K to us, we bought our own retail copy and this performed exactly the same as our Core i7-4790K press sample. You only have to look at forum system spec signatures to see just how many people are having to be content with a 4.3GHz or 4.4GHz CPU. In addition, our 4.8GHz test system only drew 20W more at load and the CPU was much cooler than a 4.6GHz Core i5-4670K-based system, so it's quite feasible to have your CPU at 4.7GHz or 4.8GHz 24/7.
This on its own is a very appealing feature - after all, who wouldn't want a speed-binned CPU and in the past, retailers have even charged more for such sought-after silicon (remember G0-stepping Q6600's?) Yet Devil's Canyon CPUs didn't cost much more, if at all than their predecessors. Yes there's not much if any improvement in IPC and most of the speed boosts at stock speed are due to increased CPU frequencies – the Core i7-4790K for example has a stock speed of 4GHz, which is a substancial 500MHz faster than its predecessor, but that's the kind of thing you can do with a cherry-picked CPU.
There is, of course, the argument that Intel has shunned the PC and the PC enthusiast by just speed-binning Haswell cores, but if anything, this is showing that it still has a commitment to enthusiasts and in particular overclockers.
Yes I'd like to have seen more of a performance boost or shrunken manufacturing process, although the latter is what we'll be looking at with Broadwell, but I'd rather have a Devil's Canyon CPU that's guaranteed to hit 4.8GHz and provide some overclocking fun, than something that performs a few percent faster clock for clock than the previous round of LGA1150 CPUs and once again runs very hot under the collar once you've overclocked it along with being lucky to be able to get a stable overclock above 4.4GHz.
This won't be everyone's cup of tea of course, but I'm willing to bet that most people reading this, especially those that are potential buyers of the new Core i5 and Core i7, would be overclocking their CPUs too. It probably cost Intel less to tweak the power delivery, use better thermal interface material and speed-bin some CPUs, than it would have done to make similar changes to what we saw moving from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge, but I'm not really that bothered.
However, I do want to see some improvements with Broadwell. With Windows 9 due out at roughly the same time (although rumours are that K-series Broadwell CPUs may have been delayed yet again till next summer) and rumoured to be much more geared toward PC users, they could provide the perfect opportunity for pre-Haswell owners to reach for their wallets.

At Gnip, we're always excited to hear about groups and individuals who are using social data in unique ways to improve our world. We were recently fortunate enough to support this use of social data for humanitarian good first-hand. Along with Plugged In to Gnip partner, Qlik, and international relief organization, Medair, we hosted a hackathon focused on global disaster response.
The hackathon took place during Qlik's annual partner conference in Orlando and studied social content from last year's Typhoon Haiyan. Historical Twitter data from Gnip was paired with financial information from Medair to give participants the opportunity to create new analytic tools on Qlik's QlikView.Next BI platform. The Twitter data set specifically included Tweets from users in the Philippines for the two week period around Typhoon Haiyan in November of 2013. The unique combination of data and platform allowed the hackathon developers to dissect and visualize a massive social data set with the goal of uncovering new insights that could be applied in future natural disasters.
For example, one team used Gnip's Profile Geo Enrichment to map Tweets from highly-specific areas according to keywords such as "water", "food" or "shelter". Identifying trends in which geographic areas have greater needs for certain types of aid could provide a model for improving disaster response times and efficiencies. Another team analyzed spikes in the use of certain hashtags as a way to uncover actionable data being shared about the residual impacts of the typhoon. The developers' efforts were all brought to life through the QlikView.Next visualization platform, making the resulting insight discovery process very intuitive and easy to comprehend. The results were pretty amazing, and here's a look at the winning app!
"With Gnip's support, we were extremely honored to be able to work with Medair for this year's Qlik Hackathon and help them use data to further the impact of the great work they are doing worldwide," said Peter McQuade, vice president of Corporate Social Responsibility at Qlik. "It provides Medair with an application that supports their fundraising efforts and ultimately helps change our world by maximizing the impact of their work with some of the world's most vulnerable people."
We would like to express our sincere thanks to both Medair and Qlik for inviting us to participate in such a meaningful cause. The hackathon produced new social data applications that Medair and first responder teams may be able to use in future disaster response efforts to better help those immediately affected. As for Gnip, we can't wait to see how social data will be applied toward other humanitarian causes moving forward!

I have some hives in my backyard. There are not many flowers around but about 1.2 km away(air distance) there are a lot of flowering acacia trees. Will my bees able to travel this distance to these flowers and how do I get them to know that there are flowers over there.
I know that my bees may have aleady knew about these flowers but how do I make sure.
Noon time temperature is around 110 deg F and it is always sunny.
1 mile = 1.6 km approx.

Well, we can't say for sure what your car is going to make at the wheels. It all depends on car, dyno, octane of fuel you plan on running, and many many different factors that we can not predict.
Honestly, you will have to baby the crap out of it if you plan on putting the 3 port bcs on before you make it to the tuner's. Changing that one part...because of how it works. It will severly skew your ECU settings and you'll have a extremely good chance at overboosting very easily. Once your tuned you'll be fine, but until then you will have to baby it and stay out of boost. I hope you have a boost guage to tell if you're out of it.
I am not trying to be a d!ck, I'm just trying to let you know the risk of even getting into boost. Which will be very easy until its tuned for the 3 port. Which is why most people will wait to do that at their tuners or have their tuner just install it.
Like I was previously saying, porting the stocker and replacing the header all together are done to accomplish completely different goals. I say this running basically a GT3076 on a completely stock manifold though. I agree that it's not work it on a stock turbo. Down the like yes.

Town Square
Proposal of a Golf Tax in California is Unfair and Unjust.
Original post made by Sean, Castlewood, on Feb 10, 2009
* Greens fees on ALL courses in the state
* Driving range fees
* Cart rentals
* Lessons
* Private club memberships and monthly dues, and
* Potentially other golf-related items such as entry to golf tournaments.
Targeting golf is unfair.
* The tax proposal singles out golf for taxation when other sports and recreational activities -- skiing, bowling, tennis, etc. -- are not being similarly taxed.
* Targeting one activity is simply unfair.

actualy it wasn't one activity targeted, Veterinary services, furniture and appliance repair, auto repair and Amusement parks were also bundled with the tax.
(Im pretty annoyed with the vet one because the effect it will have on rescues. People who already have trouble covering high vet bills may not be able to afford to take their animal at all.)
In all I think all the tax increases will cause buisness to decrease, and the state will make even less money on taxes.
here is a link to the goverment fact sheet.

A use tax on services! Go Governator! Just reinstate the car tax, why don't you? What's next? Tax for babysitters?

As a board member of an animal shelter, I have a real problem with taxing vet services. We spend at least $50,000 a year for animal care. That would mean $4,375 more in taxes. Do you know how much food, medicine and care that could buy? More to the point, how much it would take away from innocent animals?
Personally, I don't think taxing some services is such a horrible idea, but I do agree it should be even across the board.

Get real -- outrage over a tax on golf? The ultimate rich folk passtime? Something that is by no means at all essential? I say tax it more. Essential services should not be taxed, leisure passtimes that are nothing more than ways to use up time should be taxed. Next up would be a tax on TV time. Based on how many hours your idiot box is on, you get taxed. Like maybe ten bucks an hour. Oh right, you only watch the Discovery channel . . . not all the moronic reality shows . . . .

It really seems stupid and careless to bundle animals in with golf and amusement parks.
It says proposal, does anyone know if it was finalized?
I hope it doesn't happen. If it does that they excempt non profit animal rescues from it, things are already tight for them and only getting worse.

Get your facts straight - Golf is more than just a passtime leisure for the rich. There are lots of people who play the sport and are just like you and me. Get yourself out onto the course or the range one of these days before you judge.

Although an abdominal ultrasound can be done to check for a number of conditions, it can be used to screen for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a weakened, bulging spot in your abdominal aorta, the artery that runs through the middle of your abdomen and supplies blood to the lower half of your body.
An abdominal ultrasound can also be used to check for other diseases that affect your kidneys, liver, gallbladder and pancreas.
An abdominal ultrasound to screen for an abdominal aortic aneurysm is recommended for men ages 65 to 75 who are current or former cigarette smokers. Having an abdominal ultrasound to screen for an aortic aneurysm isn't specifically recommended for men who have never smoked, nor women, unless your doctor suspects you may have an aneurysm.
A barium enema is an X-ray exam that can detect changes or abnormalities in the large intestine (colon). The procedure is also called a colon X-ray.
An enema is the injection of a liquid into your rectum through a small tube. In this case, the liquid contains a metallic substance (barium) that coats the lining of the colon. Normally, an X-ray produces a poor image of soft tissues, but the barium coating results in a relatively clear silhouette of the colon.
During a barium enema exam, air may be pumped into the colon. The air expands the colon and improves the quality of images. This is called an air-contrast (double-contrast) barium enema.
Before a barium enema, your doctor will instruct you to completely empty your colon.
Bilirubin testing checks for levels of bilirubin in your blood. Bilirubin (bil-ih-ROO-bin), an orange-yellow pigment, is a waste product of the normal breakdown of red blood cells. Bilirubin passes through the liver and eventually out of the body — mostly in feces, a small amount in urine.
Before reaching the liver, bilirubin is called unconjugated, meaning uncombined. In the liver, bilirubin combines with certain sugars to create a water-soluble form called conjugated bilirubin. Conjugated bilirubin passes out of the liver, and in the colon, it is converted back into the unconjugated form en route to being excreted from the body.
Most laboratories use a test that detects conjugated bilirubin, which is called direct. By subtracting the direct bilirubin from the amount of total bilirubin, an estimate of unconjugated bilirubin, called indirect, is obtained.
Higher than normal levels of direct or indirect bilirubin may indicate different types of liver problems. Occasionally, higher bilirubin levels may indicate an increased rate of destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis).
Capsule endoscopy is a procedure that uses a tiny wireless camera to take pictures of your digestive tract. The camera sits inside a vitamin-sized capsule that you swallow. As the capsule travels through your digestive tract, the camera takes thousands of pictures that are transmitted to a recorder you wear on a belt around your waist or over your shoulder.
Capsule endoscopy helps doctors see inside your small intestine — an area that isn't easily reached with conventional endoscopy. Capsule endoscopy can be used by adults and by children who can swallow the capsule. The procedure is usually started in a doctor's office.
A colonoscopy (koe-lun-OS-kuh-pee) is an exam used to detect changes or abnormalities in the large intestine (colon) and rectum.
During a colonoscopy, a long, flexible tube (colonoscope) is inserted into the rectum. A tiny video camera at the tip of the tube allows the doctor to view the inside of the entire colon.
If necessary, polyps or other types of abnormal tissue can be removed through the scope during a colonoscopy. Tissue samples (biopsies) can be taken during a colonoscopy as well.
A flexible sigmoidoscopy (sig moi-DOS-kuh-pee) is an exam used to evaluate the lower part of the large intestine (colon). During a flexible sigmoidoscopy exam, a thin, flexible tube (sigmoidoscope) is inserted into the rectum.
A tiny video camera at the tip of the tube allows the doctor to view the inside of the rectum and most of the sigmoid colon — about the last two feet (61 centimeters) of the large intestine. If necessary, tissue samples (biopsies) can be taken through the scope during a flexible sigmoidoscopy exam.
Flexible sigmoidoscopy doesn't allow the doctor to see the entire colon. As a result, any cancers or polyps farther into the colon can't be detected with flexible sigmoidoscopy alone.
A liver transplant is a surgical procedure to remove a diseased liver and replace it with a healthy liver from a donor. Most liver transplant operations use livers from deceased donors, though a liver may also come from a living donor.
The number of people waiting for new livers is much larger than the number of available livers, so liver transplant is reserved for people who are critically ill. Some people receive a liver transplant right away, while others spend many months waiting for a liver transplant.
Splenectomy is a surgical procedure to remove your spleen — an organ that sits under your rib cage on the left side of your abdomen. The spleen helps fight infection and filters unneeded material, such as old or damaged blood cells. Although your bone marrow produces most of your blood products, the spleen also produces red blood cells and certain types of white blood cells.
The most common reason for splenectomy is to treat a ruptured spleen, often caused by an abdominal injury. Splenectomy may be used to treat other conditions, including enlarged spleen (splenomegaly), some blood disorders, certain cancers, infection, and noncancerous cysts or tumors.
Splenectomy is most commonly performed using a tiny video camera and special surgical tools (laparoscopic splenectomy).
A tummy tuck — also known as abdominoplasty — is a cosmetic surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the abdomen.
During a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen. In most cases, the connective tissues in the abdomen are tightened with sutures as well. The remaining skin is then repositioned to create a more toned look.
You might choose to have a tummy tuck if you have skin that's accumulated around the area of your bellybutton and a weak lower abdominal wall. A tummy tuck can also boost your body image.
Virtual colonoscopy is a minimally invasive exam to screen for cancer of the large intestine (colon). Virtual colonoscopy requires the same pre-test bowel preparation as colonoscopy. But virtual colonoscopy doesn't require sedation or inserting a scope into the colon.
During virtual colonoscopy, a CT scan produces hundreds of cross-sectional images of your abdominal organs. The images are combined and digitally manipulated to provide a detailed view of the inside of the colon and rectum.
Virtual colonoscopy is an alternative to colonoscopy, but the new test doesn't mean you'll never have another colonoscopy. If virtual colonoscopy shows abnormalities in your colon, your doctor will typically recommend colonoscopy to learn more.

Lets be honest here. It looks like my 6 year old was left alone with finger paints, some cheap armor and a bottle of Nyquil. Have you concidered using some neater technique like maybe a paintball gun with pastel colors from 75 yards away? It couldn't be any worse than the junk you produce now. I mean come on! Did you make the gloves yourself too? They are supposed to white and gray and NOT tan! You might want to add collar armor, gauntlets...who am I kidding...just give up this charade and call it a custom trash (can) mando! In order to save anything left of what you may call "pride" I am willing to help you. (Against my better judgement). Box all of this **** up and mail it to 10201 S. Luther Rd Newall OK 74857. Hell NO I am not going to pay shipping! Thats on you! Then promptly return to Policing the lonely state of Indiana. That way something good might come of you yet! Give up this fantasy of talent! Nobody here wants to see this sad replacement for HOPE! You should just be ashamed! SHAME!

Dear All friends,
Hope you are fine. I am using stata 8.2 platform in Windows. I have loaded a panel data set in a long-format for 4 sectors each sketched from 1958 to2000. Thus, I have 172 observations for each variable. My target is calculating S.D or mean cross-4 sectors for each year and graph over time. For more clarity, for instance, I would like to calculate S.D. of 4-sectors for year 1958. In doing so, I need to have a loop to use observations numbers: 1, 45, 87, and 131 in calculation of S.D for year 1958, and this continues for calculation of S.D cross-sectors for other years, and so on and so forth. I understand I must write a "for values loop" for performing such calculations of S.D or mean for each year cross-sectors. I am not sure how to initiate such for values loop or another solution in Stata. May somebody help me out on this matter?
Your help is much appreciated in advance.

If you dont mind John I would just like to throw in this website for coveralls. The shipping is half of what it is on the other site, and its the same coverall.
Go here...
Buy the one with the longer inseam in white. Also, buy a few sizes larger than you need. You get longer pants and sleeves. Do not buy 2 suits, only 1 suit. The material is 100% cotton and will take dye well - use search engine on dyeing fabric.
Cut sleeves in half. Hem all cut edges and save the sleeve material. You can connect this "Tube" so to say under the short sleeve by using cheap strap webbing. Either as a link between the two sleeve tubes or connected/sewn to the armpits individually. A bonus, I imagine their will be additional ventilation inside the suit since the sleeves are not sealed. Another idea is to cut a small slit, add a tab of fabric, and add velcro. Close tightly around biceps.
Cut the pant bottoms, save material for shin tool pockets. Go to fabric store and buy 1 yard of white 100% cotton Twill fabric. Use pouch templates on this web site to make pouches. Attach with Velcro.
My wife is making mine this week. She says it will work.
Say hey if you have comments or suggestions. I will post pics soon.
Thanks! Great tip. I am not dyeing mine, I am doing the white McQuarrie Fett. I am sure it can be dyed any depth of grey, blue-grey or deep royal blue.

If you have exceptionaly long arms you might want to consider getting a white long sleeve work shirt, that is what I had to do, my inseam is a 32 so i figured I may as well get the shirt for sleeves and material for the shin pockets.
did your jumpsuit skrink? mine did lol. preshrunk hmmm I am glad there sized to fit over cloths.
mine shrunk for some odd reason...hmmm, what could it be? Oh, I know...FAT.
I thought of something that may be even more functionable. Take a scrap T-shirt and attach sleeve tubes to the ends of the sleeves. Should be stable.
I guess noone else in interesed lol
You hurt me, really. Deeply, on the inside...sniff, sniff. I just want to go, well, cry. Gosh, oh well, nobody likes me since I poured salt on their wounds...I was just trying to help. Too bad they will be without the Star Fortress suits in time. And I will not have time to help. Well, they will look good for C3, or maybe Ep 3 opening in May, 2005.
Agggghhh! Ha Ha! cal196, I am just joshin' - you are someone with a sense of humor - while some are just, you know, obsessed with that little molecule of silver that has to be right above the right, mandible, but not too close to the visor, or the sleeve seam has to be triple-hemmed, with the pouch double-hemmed, but clear of the cod-piece (not under, like the Star Force Suits!), therefore looking like a total Fett-idiot (like I will look like, but a bit better than my friends that buy their costumes at Target. I love the "Scream" movie mask, that is so awesome).
Oh well, maybe this string will give a laugh to some people too! Later man.

Yep I know, like me I am dying my coveralls blue beca8se I like the look and dont care for light gray, it just doesnt look right to me. do I care if its screen accurate? No. Its what I like so thats what I'm doin. All of what I think are the best aspects of Boba Fett, and I'm calling it The Shadows OF the Empire Boba Fett lol I know its corny.
woah I had to eidt that, it was messed up .
The Possie Grows, we are now 3, maybe 4! United in White!

I got my white suit yesterday. They suggested to go up a couple of sizes. It is JUMBO! I have to send back and get a smaller one. If anyone is doing this method, I am going to match the fabric and have my wife attempt the pockets. Perhaps, we can make a small batch of pockets for anyone interested to Velcro to a similar/same suit. They look good and sturdy. The longer in-seam is not necessary, the legs are super long.
Will have pocket pics up this weekend...I hope.
It says on the web site its sized to fit over cloths, that means to me its sized up one size, why would they tell you to go up two more sizes making it an overall 4 sizes up? Wierd.
Perhaps I did not specify about clothes underneath, but I did say it was for a costume. It would fit Shaq! Very gigantuos!

lol I got a 42, and had to wash it in very hot water so it would shrink, to big.
Interested in pouche and pockets.
Must get drawings done... Must get drawings done...
They are being test assembled this week-end. I am sending back the big suit and they were cool and agreed to send the replacement out Wednesday. I ordered 2 sizes smaller and short inseam. Any extra can be tailored by Mrs. Sale - my wife truly hates this. Only 28 more days...

hehe Your wife is gonna LOVE you so much, John. My girlfriend has already gone past that, "aww that's cute you are doing what you love" phase, and is currently speeding into the, "is that more important to you than me?" phase.
I can't wait to see the pics, man. Post'em as soon as you can!
You gonna put the seams on the front of the sleeves?, I actually pulled the stitching out from the arms and turned it so it would be facing in front, did the same thing with the shirt. since you dont see the seams of the sleeves at the shoulders I figured it wouldnt hurt if my sewing sucked.

Trick or Treating Begins with Boo at the Zoo
Tenth annual event is spooktacular
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - From pink flamingos to Frankenstein, it's all part of Boo at the Zoo.
Halloween isn't until next Thursday, but youngsters got an early start on the first night of Santa Barbara Zoo's Boo at the Zoo Friday.
Volunteers and staff members transformed the zoo, overlooking the ocean, into a Halloween spooktacular.
Children can hop on the Boo-Choo-Choo train or get around on foot. They can also visit T-Rex and pose with creepy crawlers. Mother Goose is on hand to tell spooky stories, and every path looks like a costume parade.
For older children there is a scare zone with zombies.
Boo at the Zoo is offered a one of the safest Halloween events in the tri-counties. It's also a zoo fundraiser.
Booth's manned by non-profits and other businesses give out candy.
To counteract tooth decay, the Tooth Fairy and members of the Dental Hygienists Association are on hand to give out toothbrushes and other tricks or treats.
Boo at the Zoo opens at 4:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday nights. Tickets are available at the zoo or at 805-962-5339. Parking for non-members is $5.Slideshow: Boo at the Zoo

My two colonies are registered with the Ohio Dept. of Agriculture. The registration fee was $ 5.00 . For that I get an inspection by the County Bee inspector . There is hardly a better deal to be found anywhere. Since I'm a beginner, the inspector took his time and explained to me everything he was doing and what he was looking for in a bee hive.
Where else can you get training by an expert for $ 2.50 an hour?
I wish all my dealings with government agents could be like that.
There were some mites in the hives, so I'm treating for that now.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The apartment is brilliantly located in a very nice area to go out with very good facilities. With many green oases in the vicinity. Unfortunately, it was not very clean. (Dirty dishes and thick clouds of dust). But this set up quite nicely
Das Apartment ist super gelegen in einem sehr schönen Stadtteil mit sehr guten Gelegenheiten auszugehen. Mit vielen grünen Oasen in der Nähe.
Leider war es nicht gerade sehr sauber. (Geschirr schmutzig und dicke Staubwolken). Dafür aber recht hübsch eingerichtet
Very good location for sightseeing. Apartment. Too bad there is no coffee or tea, and other utensils for a rental basis. A small problem with the relationship with the agency. We chose the transfer proposed by the agency, the person was very late and the start we had to take a taxi because it did not come on time (not serious), especially that the agency had our mobile number because we had called 2 times. At the 3rd recovery agency was closed. If I'm booking again I would be more vigilant.
Très bon emplacement pour les visites. Bel appartement. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de cafetière, ni théière, et autres ustensiles de bases pour une location. Un petit bémol avec la relation avec l'agence. Nous avions choisi le transfert proposé par l'agence, la personne était très en retard et pour le départ nous avons été obligé de prendre un taxi car il n'est pas venu à l'heure dite (ce n'est pas sérieux) surtout que l'agence avait notre n° de portable car nous les avions appelé à 2 reprises. A la 3 ème reprise l'agence était fermée. Si je dois réserver à nouveau je serais plus vigilante.
It was realy nice
Everything worked out well with organisation. Flat is located quite central in Zizkov (Supermarket is also next door) and you can even walk into the city center. Flat is nice and equipped with everything you need. The only drawback is the bed which is just not very comfortable.
We enjoyed our stay in the house. It was definitely worth the price. It's a little far from the city, but the metro can be reached on foot in 15-20 minutes, and it's about a 15-minute ride into the city.
What we were particularly happy about: The young man in the agency was very friendly and helpful and provided us with maps and all the information we needed; the beds are comfortable; one of the bedrooms has a large en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, there is another bathroom with a shower, and a toilet on the ground floor. The house was generally very clean, the rooms were sparsely furnished but pleasant, and the location was very nice and quiet. The free wi-fi worked without any problems and was a big plus, as was the separate garage.
There were a few things we weren't quite as satisfied with, though: There is no coffee maker, which a fully equipped vacation rental should definitely have, and no dishwasher (which is less of a necessity); there is no living room; we mostly hung out at the dining room table, but a living room with a sofa would have been nicer; it would also have been nice to have nightstands and lamps by the beds so you don't have to get up to turn off the light. The supermarket is near the metro, so also about a 15- to 20-minute walk from the house. We had a problem with the heating on the first day and no hot water on the third, but both of these issues were taken care of promptly once we reported them. Also, be sure to bring your own dish towels.
Overall, we were satisfied with the house and would consider staying there again if we should visit the city in the future.
Very nice hosts! Unproblematic keys, hosts were ready to answer all of our questions and give good insider tips. Most attractions are within walking distance from the apartment, and there are just outside the door tram stop. Have very much enjoyed our stay and will recommend the apartment to fall further!
Sehr nette Gastgeber! Unproblematisches Schlüsselübergabe, Gastgeber waren bereit auch alle unsere Fragen zu beantworten und gute InsiderTipps zu geben. Meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß von der Wohnung erreichbar, außerdem gibt es direkt vor der Tür Tramhaltestelle. Haben unseres Aufenthalt sehr genossen und werden die Wohnung auf jeden fall weiter empfehlen!
Uncomplicated, friendly and helpful. Four instead of five stars because we did not get the booked apartment because according to statements of the Office of the boiler had been canceled at short notice. Alternative apartment was comparable. Office is to recommend! Thank you very much
Unkompliziert, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vier statt fünf Sterne, da wir nicht das gebuchte Apartement bekommen haben weil laut Aussage des Office der Boiler kurzfristig ausgefallen war. Ausweichapartement war vergleichbar. Office ist weiter zu empfehlen!!! Vielen Dank
The apartment was very clean and looked like on the photos shown. We received a very nice and everything went without any problems. The kitchen might be a little better equipped (toaster would be nice) but for a short stay it was fine. The location was great in the Zizkov district. In the city center, it was not far and the prices of the restaurants were cheaper than in the city. We recommend the apartment and be happy to be back for sure!
Das Apartment war sehr sauber und sah wie auf den abgebildeten Fotos aus. Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen und alles lief ohne Probleme ab.
Die Küche könnte vielleicht etwas besser ausgestattet sein (Toaster wäre praktisch) aber für einen Kurzaufenthalt war es in Ordnung. Die Lage war super im Stadtteil Zizkov. In die Innenstadt war es nicht weit und die Preise der umliegenden Restaurants waren günstiger als in der Innenstadt.
Wir empfehlen das Apartment gerne weiter und werden bestimmt wiederkommen!
We had a really comfortable stay in this amazing apartment. The only thing that was a bit negative is the lack of winter performance of the apartment, because it is extremely under the window traversed. A trash can in the bathroom would not be bad, and a few (at least in English) television had been too super. Unfortunately, we could not speak Czech ....
Wir hatten einen wirklich Erstaunlich komfortablen Aufenthalt in dieser FeWo.
Das einzige was ein bischen Negativ war ist die fehlende Wintertauglichkeit der Wohnung, weil es extrem unterm Fenster durchzog.
Im Bad wäre ein Mülleimer nicht schlecht, und ein paar (zumindest Englische) Fernsehsender wären auch Super gewesen. Leider konnten wir kein Wort Tschechisch....
Well, actually saw everything in the pictures look very nice, but it was with the promise of "two bedroom" is not correct. The apartment consists of a bedroom and a living room with kitchenette. The promising second bed in the living room, namely a sofa bed, which can not be seen in the pictures Sun Therefore, the apartment is ideal for two couples not suitable at all, because those who are in need bedroom, living room at night, walking through to the bathroom. That does not bother those who sleep on the living room couch. Another thing, the sheets were not clean. There were on the linen make-up and hair traces in both beds. The location of the apartment is very good. You can go anywhere on foot. Heating, bathroom, kitchen equipment, etc. were the same as in the description of the apartment. Next negative point is due to parking. The description says, "It is close to a garage at a price is 10 euros per day, so that's not a problem, come to Prague by car.". It was not true, because we had to pay for the parking lot for two days in 1660 crown. So good 80 euros for a weekend. It's not all right, what is in the description of the apartment. A disappointment! : (
Tja, eigentlich sah alles in den Bildern sehr nett aus, aber es war mit dem Versprechen "zwei Schlafzimmer" nicht richtig. Die Wohnung besteht aus ein Schlafzimmer und ein Wohnzimmer mit Kochnische.
Das versprechende zweite Bett befindet sich im Wohnzimmer, nämlich Schlafcouch, das man nicht in den Bildern so erkennen kann. Daher ist die Wohnung für zwei Ehepaare überhaupt nicht geeignet, weil diejenigen im Schlafzimmer sind, müssen nachts durch Wohnzimmer auf die Toilette laufen. Das stört diejenigen, die im Wohnzimmer auf der Couch schlafen.
Noch was; die Bettwäsche waren auch nicht sauber. Es gab auf dem Bettwäsche Make-Up Spuren und Haaren in beiden Betten.
Die Lage der Wohnung ist sehr gut. Man kann überall zu Fuß gehen. Heizung, Bad, Küchenausstattung usw. waren genau wie in der Beschreibung der Wohnung.
Nächster negativer Punkt ist wegen Parkplatz. In der Beschreibung steht, "In der Nähe befindet sich eine Garage zu einem Preis beträgt 10 Euro pro Tag, das ist also kein Problem, nach Prag mit dem Auto kommen.". Es war auch nicht wahr, weil wir für den Parkplatz für zwei Tage 1660 Krone bezahlen mussten. Also gute 80 Euro für ein Wochenende.
Es ist nicht alles richtig, was in der Beschreibung von der Wohnung steht. Eine Enttäuschung! :(

Many important natural substances are chelates. In chelates a central metal ion is bonded to a large organic molecule, a molecule composed of carbon, hydrogen, and other elements such as oxygen and nitrogen. One such chelate is chlorophyll, the green pigment of plants. In chlorophyll the central ion is magnesium, and the large organic molecule is a porphyrin. The porphyrin contains four nitrogen atoms that form bonds to magnesium in a square planar arrangement. There are several forms of chlorophyll. The structure of one form, chlorophyll a, is shown.
Chlorophyll is one of the most important chelates in nature. It is capable of channelling the energy of sunlight into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, the energy absorbed by chlorophyll transforms carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen.
In the photosynthetic reaction, carbon dioxide is reduced by water; in other words, electrons are transferred from water to carbon dioxide. Chlorophyll assists this transfer. When chlorophyll absorbs light energy, an electron in chlorophyll is excited from a lower energy state to a higher energy state. In this higher energy state, this electron is more readily transferred to another molecule. This starts a chain of electron-transfer steps, which ends with an electron transferred to carbon dioxide. Meanwhile, the chlorophyll which gave up an electron can accept an electron from another molecule. This is the end of a process which starts with the removal of an electron from water. Thus, chlorophyll is at the center of the photosynthetic oxidation-reduction reaction between carbon dioxide and water.
Other molecules with structures similar to that of chlorophyll play important roles in other biochemical electron-transfer (oxidation-reduction) reactions. Heme consists of a porphyrin similar to that in chlorophyll and an iron(II) ion in the center of the porphyrin. Heme is bright red. In the red blood cells of vertebrates, heme is bound to proteins forming hemoglobin. Hemoglobin combineswith oxygen in the lungs, gills, or other respiratory surfaces and releases it in the tissues. In muscle cells, myoglobin, the name given to hemoglobin in muscles, stores oxygen as an electron source for energy-releasing oxidation-reduction reactions.
Another relative of chlorophyll is vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 contains a cobalt ion at the center of the porphyrin. Like heme, vitamin B12 is bright red. It is essential to digestion and nutritional absorption in animals. The exact way it functions is not known. Because vitamin B12 is not produced by higher plants, a strictly vegetarian diet can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency. However, it is produced by molds and bacteria which grow on most foods.
The intense color of chlorophyll suggests that it may be useful as a commercial pigment. In fact, chlorophyll a is a green dye (Natural Green 3) used in soaps and cosmetics. The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll (below) shows that it absorbs strongly in the red and blue-violet regions of the visible spectrum. Because it absorbs red and blue-violet light, the light it reflects and transmits appears green. Commercial pigments with structures similar to chlorophyll have been produced in a range of colors. Some of these have slightly modified porphyrins, such as having hydrogen atoms replaced with chlorine atoms. Others have different metal ions. For example, one bright blue pigment has a copper(I) ion at the center of the porphyrin and is used primarily in coloring fabrics.

Room in an excellent environment - I definitely book again. People with knee Problems should not book this - 50 steps; but for me this was not an issue.
all worked well
It was really wonderful. Everything was so easy and the room was really clean and well equipped. The house and neighborhood is beautiful.
The location is really good, so closed to the tube station.
I completely recommend this room.
Many thanks
Nice room. On the smaller side, but was enough for my needs. Bathroom is shared (IIRC only with one more guest room), but very clean and nice. Fridge and kettle were very useful too.
Just 5-mins walk from Chalk Farm station - very convenient! Primrose hill (great panorama of central London!) is also very close.
I had a good stay. Thank you, Stella!
Even though the bathroom had to be shared. It was a very pleasant, nice and comfortable Stay. Bedroom and bathroom were very clean and Stella was also very friendly and helpful. Camden itself is a calm and beautiful district of London. We liked it very much. Another big pro about the Appartement of Stella is the very Short distance to the tube (chalk Farm). All in all we can say we would Love to come back.
Great room,
Not suitable for 2, the bed is a push at being a double bed. Having a fridge and kettle is great.
The heating system is crazy, but keeps the room more than warm.
The bathroom was nice.
The whole flat is very up to date and modern. Definitely worth it if you want to see camden.
There is a little shop about 5 min up the street when you go left out of the front door, it has your basics. A lovely coffee shop right outside the front door.
Quiet location just few minutes by walk from Chalk Farm tube station. Clean and cosy room with everything you can need. Absolutely recommendable!
We spent a nice weekend in Stella's place. The room was small,but ideal for one person pr for a couple. Everything was clean. We arrived two hours later thean expected due to traffic jams, but they were very flexible, and there was no proble because of the late arrival.
The house is really central and well connected to tube. The guys were very nice and helped us out with everything. The room is small but very nice and clean. The bathroom us pretty new and clean as well. everythings fine! I recommend this place to everyone and if I ever come back to london I would love to stay at this place again!
Was a very nice stay - Stella´s Father let us in and gave us a really warm welcome. Room and bathroom were both as you can see them on the photos - clean and nice. In the room are mugs and plates for two, but there is only small space - so you can prepare some tea and a small something (you can use a small fridge). Camden is pretty close and a lot of nice cafes and other ways of food supply are easy to reach.
So my daughter and me, we can only recommend this accommodation.

Little Makers is a series of programs where families with young children can tinker, design and create together. This program is supported in part by funding from the Altman Foundation and the Liu Foundation.
Little Makers will take place in Maker Space. Maker Space is made possible thanks to an investment by Cognizant through its Making the Future education initiative.
