Ohodnoďte tomuto hostiteli i další ubytování
Everything was perfect .
Flat not so far from the center of the city, 5 minutes to underground Station.
Quite easy to reach from airport (Train + Metro).
The flat was clean enough, very good space for 5 people.
Kitchen have all the basic tools necessary to survive, the owner is flexible for arrival times.
Just a couple of suggestion:
- keep some cleaning tools and products in the house just if people need to wash dish;
- please call if you can not come to take back the keys, we wait 20 minutes for nothing at the end.
For the rest really good and suggest for your staying in Koln!!
Good bed, good location, good kitchen, good clean bathroom, the hostess was polite, close to city center.
No Wi-Fi, no heating. The price for this unit was overpriced in comparison to the units from other websites for rental apartments. We feel we had been taken advantage of due to the trade show at the time. It was a hotel price without hotel accommodations.
Overall, I am satisfied with the stay the hostess was very polite and helpful. I would come again but I would review the pricing ahead of time in the future.
the photographs did not represent the accommodation, which was very tired and had a few issues. altogether our stay was not unduly effected by these.
Cologne is a fabulous city worth a visit, it has a very efficient infra structure which makes getting about very easy.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
buiseness. good locaion. clean, comfortable.
Nice apartment, with good equipment, confortable and totally renoved.

Sierra Leone journalist murdered; suspects in custody
New York, June 15, 2011--Police in Sierra Leone have arrested three suspects, including a police officer, for the killing of a reporter this Sunday during violent clashes over a land dispute on the outskirts of the capital, Freetown, according to local journalists.
Ibrahim Foday, 38, a reporter at the private daily newspaper The Exclusive, was beaten and stabbed by assailants during an outbreak of violence between neighboring villages Kossoh and Grafton, 16 miles (25 kilometers) southeast of the capital, Freetown, according to Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ). Foday, a resident of Grafton, was attacked for taking photographs of Kossoh rioters.

It's time for a Mom Confession -- because, let's face it, we're real mothers and sometimes it doesn't work the way the parenting books say it should.
This Week's Confession:
When we go to the park or playground, I don't hover over my toddlers. I sit on the bench and watch. If they want to climb up the slide, I let them. I loved climbing up slides when I was little. It was challenging and fun -- and my mother never shadowed me to prevent a fall or little mishaps. This is how children learn -- by making mistakes.
And if my kid is arguing with another on the playground (or anywhere), I usually don't get involved unless one of them is going to get hurt. They need to learn to work out their own problems. -- anonymous
Question: Is it irresponsible parenting to let young toddlers, say 2 or 3 years old, climb unassisted on playground equipment?
Yes, they could get hurt!
No, helicopter parents are far more dangerous.
It depends -- read my comment.

Do today's parents go overboard in trying to protect their children from every little bump, scratch, and boo-boo? Should we give our kids more freedom to make mistakes and learn from them?
We all have secrets and opinions -- so thanks to this brave mom for sharing her honest thoughts, and thank you for keeping this conversation non-judgemental!
Past Confessions:
My Kids Go to Sleep After Midnight
I Let My Toddlers Go Naked in Public
I Paid $22 for My Son's Haircut
My Toddlers Eat Pizza for Breakfast
I Leave My Toddler Alone in the Bath
Our Children Aren't Invited to Our Wedding
I'm on Vacation, But My Kid Is Still Going to Day Care
I Let My Toddler Eat Food Before Paying for It

Doctors Say Flu Vaccine Could Prevent Heart Attacks
WHAG's Kirstin Garriss talked with doctors about a new study that makes a connection between the flu vaccine and your heart health.
The flu season is here and many people will roll up their sleeve to get a shot to protect them against influenza, but that shot may also help some people avoid a heart attack.
A Canadian study found people who did not get a flu vaccine were almost twice as likely to suffer a major cardiac event within a year, than people who were vaccinated.
"With some recent studies it's actually been shown that people who get the flu shot actually have a lower risk of having heart attack, strokes, especially people who have a history of coronary artery disease. So it kind of strengths our recommendation for people to get the flu shot," said Dr. Chris Vaccari, Cardiologist at Hagerstown Heart.
The study also showed that patients with a recent history of heart disease had a 13 percent lower risk of another cardiac event when they got a flu shot.
"There are a lot of different studies on you know kind of unusual treatments for heart disease including antibiotics and things like that so it's clear there are some times affects of treatment outside of what we would normally think are the target for the vaccines," said Dr. Vaccari.
And for years doctors said they've suspected a connection between inflammatory processes and heart disease.
"The link between inflammatory processes and heart disease is something that we don't completely understand yet but certainly there always does seem to be this link between people having some sort of viral infection then the subsequent development of a heart issues," said Dr. Vaccari.
And doctors say people shouldn't take for granted the severity of the flu and recommend getting the vaccine, especially during this time of the year.

Standoff suspect faces attempted murder charge
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A police standoff ended peacefully north of downtown Colorado Springs on Monday morning.
Police say 31-year-old William Christopher White fired shots from his porch at the corner of Dale Street and Wahsatch Avenue around 8 a.m.
Police say that because the situation was unpredictable, they blocked off the immediate area. Neighbors were notified via an ENS message to stay inside and away from any windows.
TEU, K-9 and the Regional Explosives Unit took charge of the operation. Officers say they tried to speak with White, but he would not cooperate.
Around 11 a.m., police sent in a robot as a precaution to see what was inside of the home. Police say that's when White fired about a dozen more shots. Several of them hit the robot.
White eventually walked out of the home while still holding a weapon, police said. A K-9 dog intervened and injured him. He was taken into custody and taken to the hospital.
Police say White is facing a charge of attempted first degree murder.
Palmer High School, Columbia Elementary, Taylor Elementary, Community Prep, and North Middle School were locked down as a precaution during the situation.
Kyle Hodi lives next door to the home where the standoff happened. He took several photos of the police, SWAT team and its robot in action before bullets started flying, shattering his glass door and forcing him to take cover.

Soon to be college graduate looking for advice
I have had a large interest in security and hacking since I was barely a teenager, but now that I realize being involved in security is the career path I want to take I have become much more serious and passionate about educating myself. I have a decent GPA and have held internships, so I feel decently well rounded. The only thing I'd like to improve upon is my technical skills, which I feel would really round off the type of professional I want to become.
I finished reading Counterhack 2nd Edition within a couple weeks and jumped a million miles ahead to Metasploit: The Penetration Testers Guide, which admittedly wasnt the smartest move. I plan on setting up a few exploitable virtual machines, both linux and windows machines, any advice on that subject is also welcome. I can code in C++ and VB.NET but not proficiently, is this something key I need to work on? My current plan is to read until my eyes bleed and actively test and mess with my VM network and coding (python most likely.)
I plan on obtaining my Security+ cert before I graduate in the spring, just an entry level security cert showing I have some knowledge and interest in the subject. I then plan on working towards my CISSP after that, due to its supposed appreciation by HR and hiring managers. I assume I won't be working in a security-related position right out of college, so I was looking for some suggestions as to what positions typically lead to roles in security. or is it just a free-for-all in the job background sense?
A few other loose ends to tie up. What are some of the must-visit blogs/websites on the subject matter of Security? Any websites you guys visit daily or multiple times a day? Advice/first hand experiences for someone starting out in the corporate world?
I don't want to be someone relying on certifications achieved by regurgitation, I don't want to rely on knowing people, I don't want to rely on a relatively good GPA, I want to know my shit pure and simple. So any advice offered to me is incredible and I really appreciate it.

If I could find photo later, of course I will bring it here. But I haven't found it yet. I have supplied video here. Also, the slow motion of a video would be better than a photo, don't you think?
My position has never changed:
Chan's pop at 4CC SP should have been a fall. Takahashi's pop this time should have been a fall. too. If Takahashi's wasn't considered as a fall, then they are even. The judges didn't particularly love Chan.
Does this hurt any of you?!

Bill Wood, MoldMaking Technology's Economics Editor
MoldMaking Technology's Economics Editor, Mountaintop Economics & Research Inc.
Usually, I have the pleasure of using this blog to report on trends in the economic and market data that affect moldmakers. But since the government shutdown last week there has been very little data upon which to comment. As an economist and an owner of a small business, I rely on government data. And I am not the only one. Manufacturers, owners of construction companies, bankers, and farmers also rely on government data to help them make their decisions. Even the Federal Reserve Board relies on government data in its efforts to foster economic prosperity. But as of right now, the Fed and all of the rest of us are flying blind.
Anybody who reads this blog knows that I am no proponent of big government. I have been an ardent supporter of the Libertarian Party as long as I have been old enough to vote. I do not like Obamacare, and I am certain that if given the chance, it will fail on its own. I believe the same is true for Medicare and Social Security. The most likely outcome for these entitlement programs is that they will collapse under their own weight.
I do believe that industry statistics are an inherently governmental function. Like I said, all of us need this information, but many types of data cannot be reliably supplied through the private sector. Companies are in business to make a profit, and they would only be willing to supply market information if it provided a direct benefit and competitive advantage to themselves. Good data promotes the general welfare, and therefore it cannot be left up to any one company. So there are a few useful things that the government needs to supply.
The uncertainty in the marketplace that this political brinksmanship is causing is far too great a burden to put on the economy. I am not sure what will happen if we stay on the present course, but I do not trust politicians to know better than I do how to promote economic prosperity. Nobody in business trusts that the members of Congress who are orchestrating this shutdown actually know what they are doing. The economy is in need of repair, but they are not the ones who know how to fix it.
The good news is that there are a few members of Congress who can still render some intelligent solutions. Tax reform is an area that is in dire need of attention, and there are rumors that Congress may address this issue as part of the plan to re-open the government. Shutting everything down is a ridiculous way to get to tax reform, but at this point I will take just about anything to get past this debacle.

I have been thinking! Just what do beekeepers think natural beekeeping is?
What do beekeepers think todays domestic beekeeping is?
Just what really is a feral bee colony?
How do all three relate to each other and what are the differences of each to the other?
We all talk about our hive products and how they are "pure and natural" to eat and use, and about our management, and our equipment used. Do these different classifications need to have different work methods,( without talking about todays's various treatments for mites/disease ) or can they all be handled the same way once in a box?

Once he hit the free agent market, Torii Hunter made it known that he planned on making a fast decision. After visiting the Tigers on Tuesday, he was ready.
Without visiting or seriously talking with any other team, Hunter agreed to terms with the Tigers on a two-year deal, worth $26 million.
Hunter is a career .277 hitter with a career .801 OPS across a 16-year career with the Twins and Angels. He hit .313 last year with 16 home runs and an .817 OPS for the Angels.
Per Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com, Hunter is expected to play right field for the Tigers while batting second, behind center fielder Austin Jackson and in front of star third baseman Miguel Cabrera.

Project Number: 5430-43440-007-06-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 1, 2009
End Date: Apr 30, 2014
The objective of this cooperative research is to obtain new field and laboratory data to refine and calibrate a science-based model for determining the packing of grains within upright storage structures. Laboratory data on bulk grain compression characteristics will be obtained for wheat, corn, soybeans, grain sorghum, oats, and barley. The refined model will be incorporated into a user-friendly software tool for use by producers, elevator operators, and government officials for predicting stored grain pack factors. Field measurements of grain packing will be obtained from several states in the southeastern U.S. in partnership with collaborators at ARS, Kansas State University, and the University of Kentucky who will also make field measurements. Field data will be collected primarily for wheat, corn, and soybeans and also for grain sorghum, oats, and barley when those crops are available.
This research is part of a larger, nationwide project to refine and validate a procedure with known accuracy, based on measurable physical parameters, for determining the packing of grains within upright storage structures. Because grain is somewhat compressible when subjected to the cumulative weight exerted from the material above, accurate packing factors are required to determine the mass of grain in storage from bin dimensions and test weights. Inventory control is critical for stored grain managers due to financial aspects (auditing by state agencies) and for the future utilization of quality management systems. The major variables affecting stored grain packing are grain type, moisture content, test weight, internal friction, and bin wall material, geometry, and dimensions. Variation across different regions of the U.S. must be investigated as well as other minor factors. A preliminary model for determining packing factors for a wide range of grains and bins is being developed that employs the differential form of Janssen's equation to estimate the pressure and in-bin bulk density for a given depth of grain in a bin. In the larger project, this model will be calibrated and validated by measuring packing factors for selected grains in bins in all of the major grain producing regions of the U.S. As part of that nationwide effort, the Cooperator will measure packing factors in selected states in reasonable proximity to their locations. Improved estimates of the compressibility of grains as a function of overburden pressure will be obtained using a laboratory apparatus designed to simulate internal pressure from various depths of overbearing grain. Field measurements of packing factors will be obtained by measuring the height of grain in bins of known dimensions and wall materials as they are filled and/or discharged with a measured mass of grain.

Got my color match grill from eBay and really like the look.
That looks good!
Looking good!
So you basically got an LTZ grill on an LT. Looks good, I am thinking of putting an LT chrome bumper on my LTZ.
That looks great :sign0173:
is there a specific model name/# or ebay store you got it from? I have wanted a monochromatic type grill for mine also.
That looks really good! ....Just like it came from the factory that way.

- Overall Objective: To test the hypothesis that oral vitamin D supplementation at higher than currently prescribed doses has a beneficial effect on the skeleton of young patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI).
- Specific Aims: 1. To determine whether 12 months of high-dose vitamin D supplementation, compared to standard-dose vitamin D supplementation, increases areal bone mineral density z-scores at the lumbar spine. 2. To examine the effectiveness of high-dose vitamin D supplementation to increase trabecular and cortical bone mineral density at the radius. 3. To examine whether high-dose vitamin D supplementation has an effect on physiological determinants of bone mass (parathyroid hormone, activity of bone metabolism, muscle function).
- Background: In a preliminary cross-sectional study of 282 OI patients we observed an inverse relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone levels and a positive relationship between circulating levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and lumbar spine areal bone mineral density z-scores. This suggested that high-dose vitamin D supplementation would have a beneficial effect on bone density. Most OI patients currently receive oral vitamin D supplementation of 400 International Units per day, but doses of 2000 International Units per day are safe and have been shown to be beneficial in studies on healthy adolescents.
- Study Design: This is a parallel-group double-blind randomized controlled trial of 12 months duration on 60 children and adolescents aged 6 to 19 years with a clinical diagnosis of OI. One group of 30 participants will be randomized to receive vitamin D3 at a dose of 2000 international units per day ('high-dose group'). The other group of 30 participants will be randomized to receive vitamin D3 at a dose of 400 international units per day ('standard-dose group'). Randomization will be stratified according to pubertal status and bisphosphonate treatment status.
- Clinical Relevance: The proposed study aims at direct improvements in the care of OI patients. If a simple and low-cost 'intervention' such as high-dose vitamin D supplementation can be shown to be effective in relieving some of the disease burden associated with OI, the benefit to OI patients worldwide would be substantial.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Change in areal bone mineral density z-score of the lumbar spine [ Time Frame: at baseline and 12 months ]LS-aBMD z-score will be used as the primary outcome.The lumbar spine is the standard site of measurement both in the clinical follow up of OI patients .
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Change in trabecular and cortical volumetric bone mineral density z-scores at the radius, as measured by pQCT, relative to baseline. [ Time Frame: at baseline and at 12 months ]Trabecular bone is analyzed at the distal radial metaphysis ('4% site'). Cortical bone is analyzed at the radial diaphysis ('65% site').
Other Outcome Measures:
- Percentage change in lower extremity muscle power per body weight, as measured by jumping mechanography, relative to baseline. [ Time Frame: baseline and 12 months ]A countermovement jump to maximal height ('single two-legged jump') will be evaluated. In patients who are unable to jump, the heel-rise test will be used to determine muscle power.

Week 9 - Phoenicia, Carthage and Rome
Be careful when trolling the InterNet - there are some very strange sites out there. There are also many very good informative ones. As part of this course, I hope you will develop the ability to distinguish a good factual presentation from one which is merely someone's opinion and personal agenda.

text: Heading into this offseason, fans on here wanted change because the direction Dallas has been heading hasn't been getting them anywhere. Jerry Jones promised things were going to be "uncomfortable" after an 8-8 season and then Skip Peete is let go, Ryan is replaced by Monte Kiffin and there are rumors that Jones is trying to get rid of John Garrett and wants his head coach to give up head coaching duties. Now, people are mad that Jerry the GM is seemingly forcing these changes on his coach. Would everyone be happier if Jerry did nothing, Jason did nothing and everything remained like it was last year? I know some here are going to always cry over anything Jerry does because they want to get rid of him. Obviously, that's not going to happen. The best thing that could happen is for Garrett to voluntarily make these changes. Some might think it's best if Garrett was fired. But if those things are not going to happen, isn't it better to have Jerry the GM make changes than let everything remain the same? Now, I don't know how many of these changes are Garrett's idea and how many are Jerry's, I'm just glad we're not standing pat. There is room for improvement in the way the defense was ran, and there's room for improvement in the way the offense was ran. I'm happy someone is trying to improve those things.

Imagine if he didnt retire at 31? He got better with age.
Spin that Webb young Davis
Trench guys are always the most under-rated un-glorified positions, so the most under-rated player would be a guy like Erik Howard, Jim Burt, David Diehl, Bart Oates, etc.
I agree with the poster who said Shockey was the most over-rated. After a great rookie year, he wasn't anything special. But the all time most over-rated Giant is Jonas Seawright!!!
Do not feed the trolls.
Tiki Barber is the best back in Giants history. Otis Anderson? I love Otis but you have got to be kidding me. Another NFL.com rating gone bad. With Sapp telling me why Rice was better than Stray, those awful top 100 rankings, and now this I find NFL.com good for stats only.

Two perfect examples:
In SF, Manningham broke into the open and Eli threw it where MM would have had to turn into coverage. the ball was picked.
In GB, Nicks did the same thing, he broke downfield away from coverage and Eli threw it into a group of three defenders. Both were rushed throws where Eli made the completely wrong read. These were examples of Eli's tendency to make paniced throws in 2010. The WR's made the right plays, and both those plays should have been successful.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
No sir....This was a determined effort by Eli to improve his play. I'm giving him credit for doing it. You are obviously an Eli hater who thinks he can't get better.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
Eli's desire to become a better football player and be the best he can be is a well known fact....Now he certainly didn't take a break from that between 2010 and 2011....The reasonable thinking here is that he is continually trying to improve his game ....Saying that there was no change in his game between 10 and 11 is like saying he was the best he could ever be in 2010.....I don't by that for an instant.....And the same goes for the wr's those that work hard will improve their game.... at least on the mental side of it.....smart hard working players become the cream of the crop if not the great players of the league.....jmho......So I look at it like this Eli along with the wr's improved their game in 2011.....
Tips that should have been caught = #1/2/3/25---QTY - 4
Bad passes, just bad Eli's fault = #4/6/7/8/11/13/14/16/18/19/22/23/24---QTY - 13
Questionable Passes 50/50 fault = #5//9/10---QTY - 3
Great defensive play = #20---QTY - 1
Mistaken routes = #12/21---QTY - 2
Not enough information (one quick reply couldn't see angles) = #15/17---QTY - 2
Ok Lawl I was wrong on route confusing causing the interceptions. (See I can be objective still )
That said I still stand by my opinion, the Receivers are the ones who made HUGE strides from 2010 to 2011 not Eli, Eli got better as he does every year but I think he's been getting better in a consistent way since he was drafted...I don't think he made any sort of major "leap" in the 2010-2011 seasons.
After watching the video I put 17 maybe 18 of those interceptions on Eli....still 31/18 isn't a terrible ratio...I doubt there would be complaints with that.

your view is tinted, you want to make your previous hate of Eli during the 2010 season and earlier...worthwhile, the fact is, you hated Eli (even when he was a good/great QB) he didn't all the sudden become great in 2011 he was already great his receivers learned the game....as is expected from "second" year receivers.

You have no friggin idea what you're talking about.
I don't want to get into how this all started because I'd be typing for a while. But the "anti Eli" thing is a bunch of crap from my perspective.

text: So i was on the Warn home page the other day and found 2 winches they offered called the "powerplant". they come in an HP model that is rated at 9500 lb and an HD model that is rated at 12000. Nothing strange about that but what is neat about them is they both feature a built in Air Compressor that according to the site is capable of filling up four 35inch tires in 8 minutes or less making it extremely useful while off roading ( not sure how true this is but i have heard that lowering the tire pressure offers better traction when off road, and this would make it easy to re inflate before returning onroad), aswell as offers all the other advantages of an Air Compressor such as filling up a tube while camping or using a nailgun while on the job. If Anyone has owned one of these in the past or currently owns one i would appreciate any and all feedback/ experience that is given. Thanks in Advance

What is in this article?:
Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo?
')})(); //-->
Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo?
The orange tubing may be a PVC product which is not allowed in other than mechanical pipe systems in a room.
You cannot run gas lines in an open area in a school, where it is exposed to children...
What ever that piping is gas,water refrigeration it cannot tie up the existing electrical conduit on the wall also it is improperly hung.
I would be more concerned about the code violation of mechanical piping installed over the top of the disconnect on the back wall !!!!!!!!
It looks like it might be HDPE conduit which is prohibited for use in buildings and exposed according to 353.12 (1) & (2)
This looks like a school where orange ENT is typically used as innerduct for Fiber Optic Network cabling per 800.110. Article 362.30 also requires support every 3 feet.
The ENT was probably installed by a data com company that has no idea what NEC is let alone what is written in it. I have seen this type of installation in a lot of places.
Being a British Spark , and therefore not fully knowledgeable the NEC , I would say that the standard of workmanship is very poor , ie, badly installed , not enough fixings , and why did the person that installed the PVC tube tie it on to exsisting conduit ?
I would say a second year apprentice would have done better

Ash Street Place lawsuit plaintiff list grows
Owner Mills Properties says it isn't allowing residents to return because of safety
COLUMBIA, Mo. - More former Ash Street Place apartment residents have joined a lawsuit against the complex's owners, demanding they be allowed to collect their belongings after a fire last month.
The suit was filed more than one week ago and had grown to 12 plaintiffs as of Tuesday night.
But Ashland attorney Matthew Uhrig told ABC 17 News he expected to represent nearly 20 former residents, making up one third of the apartment units in the burned out building.
A new restraining order was filed after a court appearance Monday, in which Uhrig and an attorney for Mills Properties agreed to 30 days for the complex to determine what property had been contaminated by asbestos or mold.
During that time, no complex employee is allow to destroy or dispose of any former residents' property.
Uhrig argued that his clients had been given no confirmation that the complex had even done any asbestos testing since the fire.
A spokesman for Mills Properties told ABC 17 News testing is an ongoing process because of changing conditions in what was left of the buildings. He also said residents were not being allowed back in because of structural security concerns.
"It's unfortunate that some peoples' belongings were trapped or may have been destroyed," said Mark Farnen. "We don't even know if some of the things that they want are destroyed or not at this point in time and some stuff is not able to be identified ... We have NOT destroyed or disposed of anything without a release."
Farnen also explained reports from residents looking to be added to the class-action lawsuit. Several former residents told a KMIZ reporter Tuesday they had been offered $1000 to not join the suit.
Farnen said the company was trying to reach out to people who needed the money faster than a lawsuit might produce it.
"They did offer cash payments to people who were not a part of the suit and who may or may not have had insurance," he said. "Some people believed that that was a better option to take some money at this point in time, replace some of the belongings that may have been lost, rather than wait for an indefinite period of time for a lawsuit that we don't know when it will be settled."
Attorney Matthew Uhrig said none of his clients had been approached for the offer, but some who were considering joining the lawsuit had.
Uhrig reiterated that the lawsuit's core argues for better communication from Mills Properties, which he said has been assuming his clients want their property thrown out without knowing whether it was contaminated or not.

Perfect location near the Marais by metro, bus, taxi and supermarket 100 meters. Pretty apartment, complete with everything. Welcome from the contact person caring and satisfying.
Posizione perfetta a ridosso del Marais con metro, bus, taxi e supermercati a 100 metri. Appartamento grazioso e completo di tutto. Accoglienza del referente premurosa e soddisfacente.
Nice, clean and perfectly located. Highly recommended!
Handing over of apartments has worked quite well, ext. was clean and in very good condition.
Everything in its place, any time :-)
Übergabe des Apartements hat ganz gut geklappt, App. war sauber und in sehr gutem Zustand.
Alles in bester Ordnung, jederzeit wieder :-)
I went to Paris to spent four days with my sister and I found a very dirty flat. Anyway the neighborhood was very nice. We had to change the sheets because they had stains. Under the table there were some dirty socks. Wifi was available only for first 24 hours. I had to contact with the owner five times and the only answer was "how can I solve the problem?, in most places of Paris there was free wifi."
I wouldn't recommend this flat because it's was a unpleasant experience with it.
The stay was very satisfactory. they have adapted very Bioen our early arrival time, and we were waiting on the porch.
the house is correct and well situated. No complaints about that.
Missing some things like toilet paper, coffee filters, they very kindly brought in 15 minutes.
Address to recommend.
On the negative side, I did not like that the last day will not get the OK to exit, and stay with the guarantee of 500 € for 48 hours, in case they find any fault !!
La estancia ha sido muy satisfactoria. se han adaptado muy bioen a nuestra hora de llegada temprana, y nos estaban esperando en el portal.
la casa está correcta y muy bien situada. Ninguna queja al respecto.
Faltaban algunas cosas, como papel higiénico, filtros de café, que muy amablemente nos los trajo en 15 minutos.
Dirección a recomendar.
Como aspecto negativo, no me gustó que el último día no te dan el OK a la salida, y se quedan con la fianza de 500€ durante 48h, por si encuentran alguna anomalía!!
We had a wonderful time in Paris and mostly because of our quite small but very comfortable and convenient apartment. It's situated in a strategic position: Although it's really close to any kind of shop and many good restaurants and bars, it's in the internal part of the building so it is very silent. Absolutely suggested.
The apartment was perfect, very central, comfortable, clean and super comfortable,
the wifi worked. A few steps a street filled with restaurants and supermarkets.
No problem for the keys.
L'appartamento era perfetto, centralissimo, comodo, pulito e super accessoriato,
il wifi funzionava. A pochi passi una via piena di negozi supermercati e ristoranti.
Nessun problema per le chiavi.
We felt very comfortable in the apartment. The handover was very straightforward and friendly. The apartment is clean and cozy.
Wir haben uns in der Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Übergabe war sehr unkompliziert und freundlich. Die Wohnung ist sauber und gemütlich.
The apartment is smaller than the pictures, and is no so beauty as the pictures.
Actually this is not a recommendable place.
When we arrived we think "We should have gone to an hotel".
A small apartment, though. A pleasure !!!
Un pequeńo apartamento muy bien ubicado. Un placer!!!

REDWOOD CITY — Only one of the three people arrested after a beer and pizza party aboard a Sausalito stolen yacht that crashed ashore in Pacifica will face criminal charges because two others may have believed he owned it.
Leslie Gardner, 63, of Gillette, Wyo. told Dario Mira, 54, and Lisa Modawell, 55, of Aptos he'd inherited the 82-foot Darling, which ended up beached in the sand off Linda Mar Beach, said Assistant District Attorney Al Serrato. He invited them out on the boat and so the trio ended up at the Sausalito Yacht Harbor early Monday with a beer and pizza.
"What was his end game? I don't know," Serrato said. "You can't make this stuff up."
Mira and Modawell were slated to be released Wednesday without charges. Gardner is to make his first appearance in San Mateo County on one felony count each of grand theft, on suspicion of stealing a boat and vandalism.
The roughly $2.8 million Darling was guided away from the Sausalito harbor around 1:30 a.m. Monday and was spotted stuck in the sand in Pacifica about three hours later.
Though the incident began as an apparent rescue, the trio aboard refused to talk to the Coast Guard and Pacifica police. The incident turned into a stand-off after owner John Fruth spotted his stranded vessel on a morning TV news broadcast and reported it stolen.
The suspects surrendered around noon and authorities found about a dozen drained beer bottles in the cabin as well as empty pizza boxes. The boat was later towed to Richmond for potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs.
Gardner is being held in lieu of $1.01 million bail, Wagstaffe said.

Hello, you might contact your local Home Brew Store, they may be able to put you in contact with a local brewer. Jim
Stop and smell the flowers, 50,000 ladies can't be wrong
I just did a search and came up with Black Snake Meadery in Carrol County, Virginia.
Then I found Hill Top Berry Farm and Winery, close to Wintergreen Ski Resort.
Thanks the one is pretty darn close!
Thanks again
I'd try a homebrew club. I have rarely had a commercial mead that tasted as good as the worst homemade.
I bought a small bottle today, not much bigger than a long neck beer bottle and it was quite costly...
Tried it, wife tried it, both loved it.
I am planning to make some this year now!
Will be a fun project n I hope it turns out goodah
I have made a couple batches and it has been a lot of fun. I failed to follow directions and used an efficient yeast that turned what I thought was going to be a semisweet mead into torpedo fuel almost 19% alcohol. I have been assured it is not a waste, it will just need aged 2 to 5 years before it is pleasant to drink. I made a second batch that is much better, but turned out a little sweet for me. When you do get ready to brew, figure what you want for a product and follow directions exactly. Strong varietal honeys like goldenrod or Orange Blossom are preferred for making mead. So if you produce a strong honey, you are luckier than I. The internet is full of recipes and good forums devoted to just mead. Gotmead.com is my favorite. Ben brewcat here knows his stuff also. Tell him what you want and he can probably set you up.
Thanks Vance!
I will have to be honest on the honey, I just recently moved and relocated my hives so I have no idea what kind of honey I will get. It is a mixture of hay fields, forest mainly made up of tulip poplar, various berries (black mainly) and then thousands of acres of croplands which mainly grow soybean and corn. I am not sure of wildflower types currently since I moved in during winter.
I look forward to doing some brewing this year. I still need to gather all the needed equipment, do some reading and get some good direction.
Thanks Again!
Bees, brews and fun
in Lyons, CO
midwestsupplies.com is a supplier for equipment I use. The prices are ok and they are as reasonable on shipping as I have found on anything these days. They use Fed Ex ground and they must have a negotiated price. I get big boxes for ten bucks shipping. I would love to get this stuff locally and support a merchant, but our brewshop is high prices and seldom stocked. Freight on glass is a killer so try to find one for that at least. Get the book the compleat meadmaker by Ken Schramm. A good how to and has some recipes. CAUTION! meadmaking can be as addictive as beekeping and cause equally obcessive behaviour and illusions that you are the only one who truely knows how to do it. If you can whip that, it is a good hobby.

America's Fitness Authority Initiates "Action Tour for a Healthier America"
LAS VEGAS- (March 21, 2013) —Turning vision into action - such was the rallying cry from American Council on Exercise (ACE) leaders at the 2013 IHRSA (International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association) Convention & Trade Show Wednesday in Las Vegas.
Speaking to hundreds of fitness professionals, gym owners and industry leaders, ACE President and CEO Scott Goudeseune announced the launch of an "Action Tour for a Healthier America" – a grassroots effort led by ACE to get up close and personal with the challenges associated with eliminating the obesity epidemic.
"Our industry has excelled at helping fit people continue to stay fit, and that's important. But we can do more," Goudeseune said. "It will take tough conversations to reach those in need and to understand the complex socioeconomic and psychological issues embedded deeply in the obesity crisis. ACE will soon hit the road to meet with local officials, fitness facility managers and the public in communities nationwide to better understand the obstacles people face on the journey toward a healthy lifestyle and how the industry can help them overcome those roadblocks."
At IHRSA, ACE leaders said a national disconnect is especially apparent when clubs consider that two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese but only 15 percent use fitness facilities. Despite the booming industry, clearly, more work needs to be done to reach those most in need.
To ensure public safety and maximize effectiveness, ACE leaders also stressed the need for a firmer commitment among clubs to only hire fitness professionals who hold certifications accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). In addition, they also called for continued development of specialists trained to work with those impacted by obesity and other high-risk populations including those affected by musculoskeletal disorders, diabetes and heart disease.
According to Goudeseune, transformational change is needed to pull the nation back from the brink of a health and economic crisis. ACE's Action Tour for a Healthier America will be the first of a series of initiatives to help strengthen the link between the fitness industry and those impacted by obesity.
"ACE's network of 50,000 certified professionals pursued careers in fitness because they had a calling to help others and showcase the benefits of a fit life in the pursuit of better health," he said. "As an industry, our role is to provide the infrastructure, teaching and tools to do so, whether that's embedding a certified Health Coach in every fitness facility or working with insurers to guarantee every American has access to fitness options."
ACE's Action Tour for a Healthier America is scheduled to kick-off this summer with dates and locations to be announced shortly.
About ACE Since 1985, American Council on Exercise (ACE) has evolved from a small nonprofit dedicated to educating people about proper fitness to a 50,000-strong network of certified Personal Trainers, Group Fitness Instructors, Health Coaches, and Advanced Health and Fitness Specialists. As the largest NCCA-accredited nonprofit fitness certification organization in the world, ACE provides quality continuing education to professionals and conducts independent science-based research to protect all Americans from unsafe and ineffective products.

A NEW DRIVER: With their original leader unwilling to tour, the New Cars have drafted Todd Rundgren.
The obvious contemporary comparisons are the Doors with Ian Astbury, or Queen with Paul Rogers — the first a total fiasco, the second a relative fiasco. A more fitting analog might be 1999's David Byrne-less Talking Heads reunion, when the remaining members carried on as the Heads. The group's multi-singer album No Talking, Just Head was terrible; onstage it came together. On tour with one singer, Concrete Blonde's Johnette Napolitano, the Heads rediscovered their chemistry.
The remaining Cars have gone a step further with Rundgren, effectively merging with his late-'70s/early- '80s band Utopia. Bassist Kasim Sulton was the Ben Orr of Utopia — the sex symbol who sang the romantic tunes. (He sings "Drive" in the New Cars.) And ex-Tubes drummer Prairie Prince had a hand in many Rundgren-produced projects, notably XTC's Skylarking.
Not surprisingly, the live portions of the New Cars' It's Alive (Rhino) sound like Utopia doing the Cars. And 15 of the 18 tracks are live. Of those, 12 are Cars covers (from "Just What I Needed" and "Candy O" to "Drive" – i.e., all the expected hits). It's fun, the arrangements are accurate, and it's more lively than the notoriously static, Ric Ocasek-led Cars were once they'd discovered sequencers. All of the trademark parts by Easton and Hawkes are in place, right down to the sharp guitar solo on "Best Friend's Girl," and Rundgren treats the songs with affection, doing an occasional Orr or Ocasek imitation but mostly singing in his own style. It's not the Cars, but it is a fresh take on material that holds up just fine. (How many bands can boast a debut album with as many hits as The Cars?)
The payoff for Rundgren fans is "Not Tonight," a new song that appears here in both live and studio versions. Rundgren's talent for mimicry came to the fore on Utopia's Deface the Music (an album of fake Beatles songs, plus one faux Billy Joel tune). But on "Not Tonight" he gives a good-natured ribbing to Ocasek's idiosyncrasies in a song that's as sly and catchy as vintage Cars. "Warm," another new track, is an obvious stab at a techno ballad in the "Drive" vein, while "More" could be a peak-era Utopia rocker. But it's "Not Tonight" that makes the strongest case for the future of this band — even if more than one wag has pointed out that the New Cars would be more properly called Autopia.

text: Hi, My hood is stuck in the closed position on my 91 chevy truck. I've done some research on the internet and tried the suggestions I've found, but first the symptoms. The handle in the truck pulls all the way out like it's supposed to and it sounds like something is moving a little under the hood. The hood does not move at all and is in the fully closed and latched position. The secondary safety catch to fully open the hood is easy to move, so that's not the problem. I've done these things: 1)Have someone hold the inside handle all the way out while I bang all over the hood with my hands - no luck. 2)Have someone hold the inside handle all the way out while I try to get a screwdriver or prybar in the crack - no luck - I have to be careful b/c I don't want it too messed up. 3)Spray W/D 40 up in the mechanism to try to get it to 'unstick'. I've done the spraying but haven't gone back to see if it will open yet, but I'm not hopeful. Any suggestions? Could someone who has this class of truck maybe look inside and take a picture or something so I can see what it looks like from the inside and figure out how I can get in there? If you PM me I can give you my cell # to send a pic from your camera phone if that's easier than uploading here. BTW, to top it all off, the battery is dead, so i can't even use or move the truck right now!! Thanks for any help.

Pine River Dam Park improvements continue
The Greater Pine River Area Healthy Green Communities Partnership Dam Park Task Force has been making steady progress revitalizing the Pine River Dam Park.
The next project is the installation of a swimming beach. This beach will be located north of the fishing pier and will provide a gentler, safer slope into the water and a fun, sandy playing area for everyone including families, young children and people with mobility challenges.
The beach design and construction plan have been created by architectural and engineering firm Widseth Smith Nolting. The design and construction plan are available for interested contractors to review and submit estimates.
These documents can be picked up, mailed or emailed. Contact Quinn for information at 218-587-5001 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Estimates must be submitted by Feb. 15.
The Dam Park Task Force is striving for installation of the beach this spring. This timeline is contingent on funding.
If you are interested in supporting the beach, consider the "Buy a Brick" Campaign where you purchase either a retaining wall brick for $25 or a capstone block for $200. The capstone cost includes three lines of up to 15 characters for a personalized message.
In addition to the brick campaign, the third annual Walleye Fish Fry will take place May 18 at the Pine River Legion.
The Dam Park Task Force meets at 5 p.m. the first Thursday of each month at the Hunt Utilities Group Campus. All are welcome.
For more information, contact Quinn or visit www.pinerivergreensteps.org.

This roundup summarizes some notable recent items about scientific research, selected from news reports compiled in Sigma Xi's free electronic newsletters Science in the News Daily and Science in the News Weekly. Online: http://sitn.sigmaxi.org and http://www.americanscientist.org/sitnweekly
Cosmic Merger
A supermassive black hole resides at the center of nearly every large galaxy. As galaxies collide, their black holes should attract one another and eventually unite. But telltale pairs of nearby black holes have been hard to find. Now astronomers think they've spotted just such a duo, separated by only 0.3 light years and orbiting one another every century. The evidence is a quasar that emits a beam of light containing not one, but two hydrogen emission spectra of slightly different colors. This likely means the quasar contains two black holes, but only continued vigilance can completely eliminate the alternative: that astronomers caught two quasars crossing the same line of sight.
Boroson, T. A., and T. R. Lauer. A candidate sub-parsec supermassive binary black hole system. Nature 458: 53–55 (March 5)
Romanov Case Closed
The Romanov dynasty ended in 1917 when Czar Nicholas II ceded his throne during the Russian Revolution. The Bolsheviks executed Nicholas and his family the following year. But the world has embraced romantic rumors that two of the czar's children, Alexei and Anastasia, escaped. Forensic DNA analyses have finally laid the legend to rest. Researchers sequenced DNA from bones in two unmarked graves and then compared the sequences to each other, to the Romanovs' living relatives, and to bloodstains on a shirt Nicholas once wore during a failed assassination. The results account for the czar, his wife, and all five of their children. Anastasia impersonators are discredited once and for all.
Coble, M. D., et al. Mystery solved: The identification of the two missing Romanov children using DNA analysis. PLoS ONE 4(3): e4838 (March 11)
Headache? It Really Is the Weather
Migraine sufferers often blame the weather for their pain. But until now, no large medical study has solidly backed their claims. Mixed results of previous studies made researchers wonder whether it was air pollution, not weather, that brought on migraines. They analyzed medical records of more than 7,000 patients who came to a Boston emergency room for severe headaches over the course of 7 years. The study compared temperature, air pressure, and levels of four air pollutants on the day before a patient's headache onset and on headache-free days in the same month. Pollution didn't seem to matter—but the risk of a migraine escalated 7.5 percent for every 5 degrees Celcius increase in temperature.
Mukamal, K. J., et al. Weather and air pollution as triggers of severe headaches. Neurology 72: 922–927 (March)
Wired to Believe?
Children tend to explain natural phenomena in terms of purpose. For instance, kids have claimed that birds exist in order to make music. But a new experiment suggests that a similar impulse is ingrained in adults who should know better. Researchers drilled 230 undergrads by flashing sentences on a computer screen for 3.2 seconds, 5 seconds, or with no time limit. The more the students rushed, the more they endorsed false teleological statements such as "earthworms burrow to aerate the soil." But even with time to think—and regardless of religion—students often agreed with statements that the earth is intended to support life. This inclination, the authors argue, may lend momentum to creationist and intelligent design movements.
Kelemen, D., and E. Rosset. The human function compunction: Teleological explanation in adults. Cognition 111: 138–143 (April)
Galloping Back in Time
Agriculture, warfare, transportation, commerce—domestic horses transformed many facets of human culture. New evidence suggests that the transition to horseback was underway a full millennium earlier than previously thought. Researchers studied tools and horse remains from four Kazakh archaeological sites dating to 3500 B.C. There, ancient horse teeth had wear marks likely caused by bridle bits, and the slender equine foot bones resembled those of domestic horses rather than wild ones. Pottery shards at the same sites bore traces of horse milk fat—a sure sign that the villagers' horses were tame.
Outram, A. K., et al. The earliest horse harnessing and milking. Science 323: 1332–1335 (March 6)
Cozy Caves for Sick Bats?
For the past three winters, a fungal infection has stricken bats in the northeast U.S. The disease causes white patches on the animals' skin, makes them hibernate fitfully, and kills more than 80 percent of little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) in affected areas. A new mathematical model supports the idea that troubled hibernation is the cause of death. When bats rouse in winter, they burn extra energy to stay warm; if they do so too often, they starve. But the model also suggests a temporary solution: Provide heated bat-boxes for hibernation, so restless bats burn fewer calories just to stay warm. This winter, the authors plan to test whether bats will really use the boxes.
Boyles, J. G., and C. K. R. Willis. Could localized warm areas inside cold caves reduce mortality of hibernating bats affected by white-nose syndrome? Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment (published online March 5)
First Photosynthesis
The first photosynthetic bacteria pumped Earth's atmosphere full of oxygen, a metabolic waste product essential for much of today's life. Despite its importance, the moment of earliest photosynthesis has been hard to pinpoint, and estimates range from the widely accepted 2.4 billion years ago to a more controversial 3.46 billion years ago. Evidence that old can be shaky, but the 3.46-billion- year scenario gains strength with the discovery of hematite crystals of that age in Australian rocks. The crystals formed when iron oxidized underwater—implying that the water was oxygen-rich. If so, photosynthetic bacteria would have been the most likely source.
Hoashi, M., et al. Primary haematite formation in an oxygenated sea 3.46 billion years ago. Nature Geoscience (published online March 15)

11/11/11 is an easy date for everyone to remember. For Rush and its Chairman Jérôme de Bontin, it turned out to be a memorable day for many good reasons.
The scene is Paris, France. The occasion is France-USA, a friendly game between two nations which had only met twice before, 32 years ago, twice in the same year of 1979, in East Rutherford, NY and Paris France (6-0 and 3-0 respectively for France). Your Chairman was fortunate to be the guest of US Soccer President Sunil Gulati and was blessed to reunite before the game with his friend, US National Team Coach and former Monaco player, Jurgen Klinsmann. As if going to the game and joining all those prestigious personalities weren't enough already, fellow Rush Board Member Gérard Houllier surprised me a few hours before game time by offering to drive me to the stadium. He later invited me to dinner with a surprise guest. (Jérôme and Gérard celebrate a title at right)
The game was "friendly" with France winning 1-0. Jurgen Klinsmann was aware of the challenge when discussing the French team on the sideline before the game. Missing Landon Donovan was clearly a handicap for his team but he also knew that he had to look beyond the evening's result and that playing France was already a success in itself. Considering that the US had lost the previous two encounters 6-0, then 3-0, losing 1-0 can then be regarded as a relative success. It was not an exciting game but Sunil Gulati was a gracious host and introduced me to the US Ambassador in France, Charles Rivkin, originally from Chicago, and his wife - both diehard soccer aficionados. Approximately 65,000 soccer fans filed in the Stade de France and it took a little time to make it to the restaurant.
It was past 11 pm on that 11/11/11 when I realized that the "special" guest would be Gérard's close friend Arsène Wenger (working for French TV that evening), and that I would be spending a memorable two hours between two of the most prestigious coaches in the world.
Gérard and Arsène (pictured at right) are only a few years apart in age and their respective careers brought them together when Gérard coached Paris Saint-Germain to its first French Championship (85-86) and then the French National Team at a time when Arsène was competing against PSG, coaching Nancy and then Monaco (Champion in 87-88). Gérard is regarded by many as the architect of the French soccer revolution that eventually brought the World Cup (1998) and the European Championship (2000) to a country that had rarely won anything in the past. A close relationship between Gérard and other French coaches such as Arsène Wenger in Monaco (where David Trézeguet and Thierry Henry were playing) proved to be key to the success of the French national teams, Youth and Senior.
Eventually, Arsène left Monaco for Japan and then joined Arsenal in 1996. Unknown to many, Gérard recommended Arsène to the Board of Arsenal and in turn Arsène was one of few friends advising Gérard to accept the offer from Liverpool right after the 1998 World Cup victory. Gérard became the manager of Liverpool and for many years competed against his friend Arsene, winning 5 memorable cups (FA Cup, League Cup, UEFA Cup, Super Cup and Community Shield in the spring and summer of 2001) but never finishing ahead of Arsenal in the English Premier League. Their competitive spirits and unique personalities kept them together and I am glad to report that they are like two brothers sharing the same passion making sure that it does not come in the way of their friendship. They are indeed passionate about soccer but more importantly they are great human beings. I was very fortunate to be invited to be their guest that evening.
Had I known ahead of time, I would have probably prepared a notebook long list of soccer questions, comparing players like Bergkamp to Van Persie or Henry to Fabregas and many more, asking about MU versus City, or Liverpool versus Tottenham and many others, or asking about 4-4-2 versus 4-3--3 and any other possible configurations, or asking about recruiting, club finances and player development.
But I did not. I did not ask any of those questions.
In fact I did not talk very much. I was too content listening to the two of them talk about their families, their friends and upcoming trips. I guess the most memorable aspect about this dinner was the camaraderie, the friendship, the togetherness that they both conveyed. Yes, I did ask a few soccer questions but in the end we did not talk much about the France-US game, Arsenal, Liverpool or Monaco, or about individual players or systems.
But, I did get to see the best side of those two great men. There was a "realness" about the two of them that has stayed with me ever since that evening of the 11s. I quickly forgot about my soccer questions and focused on the memories of the moment that I could eventually share with others and I hope that it transpired in those short paragraphs.
Rest assured that we did talk about Rush and its Colorado Headquarters. Arsène and Gérard were both impressed by the 35,000 children who play under the Rush banner and as some of you know, one of the major shareholders in the Arsenal Football Club is based in Colorado. In the end it was fun to have three soccer teams represented around that table, Arsenal, Liverpool and Rush. A pretty good mix I would say and with 11 players per team, a field of dreams for an 11/11/11.

This cheesy lasagna is full of spicy Italian turkey sausage, whole-wheat noodles, mushrooms and spinach. A serving of this version has about one-third the fat and saturated fat, and only half the calories of the original. Use soy-based sausage for a hearty vegetarian variation.

Serves 10
Prep Time 30 min
Total Time 120 min.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until not quite tender, about 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain; return the noodles to the pot, cover with cool water and set aside.
Step 3
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and water; cook, stirring occasionally and crumbling the sausage more, until it is cooked through, the water has evaporated and the mushrooms are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Squeeze spinach to remove excess water, then stir into the pan; remove from heat.
Step 4
Mix tomatoes with basil, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
Step 5
To assemble lasagna: Spread 1/2 cup of the tomatoes in the prepared baking dish. Arrange a layer of noodles on top, trimming to fit if necessary. Evenly dollop half the ricotta over the noodles. Top with half the sausage mixture, one-third of the remaining tomatoes and one-third of the mozzarella. Continue with another layer of noodles, the remaining ricotta, the remaining sausage, half the remaining tomatoes and half the remaining mozzarella. Top with a third layer of noodles and the remaining tomatoes.
Step 6
Cover the lasagna with foil and bake until bubbling and heated through, 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Remove the foil; sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is just melted but not browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Vegetarian Variation:
Use a sausage-style soy product, such as Gimme Lean, or simply omit the sausage altogether.

I stopped fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.
You know you're an obsessed football fan when you read the title of this thread as:
"My wife loves Riley Cooper...."
Mark Wahlberg is a great actor too, but...
On the other end of the spectrum, I normally can't stand that Patton Oswalt guy, but...
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
The movie is called "Silver Linings Playbook" with Robert DeNiro. I'll stick with watching Cooper's more well-known role in the Hangover movies. I don't see how anyone should be spending money to watch a romance movie involving the No-Superbowl Eagles. That's just a double screw up.
