In Reply to: Sleep Tight posted by Vic Harding on January 14, 2000
: : : : : I'm trying to find ou about the phrase "sleep tight" Does anyone know where the theory that it orginates from beds being strung with ropes which went slack after a time comes from? I need more background information, preferably by Tuesday 18 January. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
: : : : I've looked in several reference books and couldn't find the origin of "sleep tight." Too bad you weren't looking for "sleep like a top." That I found!
: : : : I did find this in "Listening to America" by Stuart Berg Flexner (Simon and Schuster, 1982) in a section called "Beds, Bunks, Pajamas, and Nighty-Night" -- "As they had done in England, early colonists bid each other 'good night,' 'sleep soundly,' 'have a good night,' and 'God give you a good night.' Our American admonition 'sleep tight' became common in the 1880s, as did our breezier 'nighty-night' ..."
: : : : Earlier in the section, it does mention ropes, During early colonial and frontier days "A bed was then usually just a pallet of blankets on the floor or a tick filled with corn shucks, straw, or wood chips, but the more demanding settler might build a 'jack bed,' a platform on legs, usually placed in a corner of the room. If householders had a real 'bedstead,' with ropes or straps laced across the frame to hold the tick and serve as springs, they talked of it with pride (bed springs were not invented until 1831)."
: : : : So the expression became common in the 1880s, long after bed springs were invented in 1831. But maybe the expression was a holdover from frontier times.
: : : : The way I remember the nightly ritual, a person would say, "Sleep tight." The response was, "Don't let the bedbugs bite." Then, "See you in the morning light."
: : : The OED records usage as far back as 1790 of "tight" meaning "soundly." Sleep tight seems to be the only surviving coloquial use that preserves that meaning. There are plenty of other uses of "tight" that have the sense of "snug" so the usage seems like it likely came from the feeling of being snug in your bed as a condition for sound sleep. No mention of ropes in this regard.
: : This reminds me of an old newspaper expression. It sounds like a vulgarism, but it referred to getting a story written fast and accurately with no superfluous words: "Get it right, get it tight and get it tonight.
: : A couple of years ago while tourig Nelson's ship 'Victory'at Plymouth the guide mentioned the origin of "sleep tight" as originating with the navy. Apparently hammocks are more comfortable if the ropes are drawn tight to reduce the amount of sag. (Incidentally, we were also informed that the ship's officers slept in boxes rather than hammocks, and that these would serve as coffins for the occupant if a burial at sea was required.)
Nelson's ship 'Victory' has been moored in dry dock in Portsmouth (Hampshire England) for at least the last 100 years. Plymouth is in the county of Devon England - more that 100 miles in a westerly direction.

Reducing the amount of outdoor air entering a space when an HVAC system is mechanically cooling or heating and an air-side economizer is inactive has distinct advantages. For some spaces, demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) based on changes in occupancy may be desirable. According to one method of DCV, ventilation rate is adjusted based on carbon-dioxide (CO2) level. Unfortunately, many designers do not have a clear understanding of the relationship between CO2 and ventilation and the ...

Police: Teen Drunk Driver Injures Nine Including Two Pregnant Women and Child
OROVILLE, Calif. - An alleged drunk driver caused a head-on collision Sunday afternoon in Oroville that injured one child, four juveniles, two pregnant women, the driver and her passenger.
Around 2 p.m. Sunday, police were dispatched to a reported injury collision on Montgomery St. Between Myers St. and Huntoon St.
Police said Shaina Appleyard, 18, was allegedly driving drunk in a 2003 Volkswagen. She had five passengers in her car, Alexander Favela, 29, Breanna Caracol, 25, and two 16-year-old juveniles. Police said one of the juvenile passengers was pregnant.
Witnesses to the accident said Appleyard was speeding eastbound on Montgomery St. when her vehicle veered into the westbound lane and collided head-on into a 2005 Toyota.
The Volkswagen then spun south and hit a sidewalk bench that a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old were sitting on, before crashing into a tree. Melissa Hetherwick, 29, was driving the Toyota and was reportedly 22 weeks pregnant. Her 4-year-old daughter was in the back seat.
When the Volkswagen hit the bench, the 15-year-old flew backwards into a storefront window and the 16-year-old fell off the bench and was nearly run over before the car hit a tree.
All nine people received minor to moderate injuries, and some were sent to the hospital.
Appleyard was later cleared from the hospital and booked into Butte County Jail on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs causing injury.
The investigation is on-going and additional charges may be filed with the District Attorney's Office.

MUDD:, NED This is Nowhere
An excellent, what - sound documentary? In fact film soundtrack, though it functions grippingly as a listening object. Songs and stretches of music with intelligent spoken text � (somewhere between David Thomas� Mirror Man and Capt. Beefheart, thought that doesn�t do it justice), some interview material with people who live in mobile homes parked outside Wal*Marts - all seamlessly edited together. Musicians include fellow Alabaman, Davey Williams. Highly recommended.

Greetings everyone, I'm quite new to this forum so let me introduce myself, I'm Jeroen, a 36 year old professional artist (painter) from the Netherlands. If you want to see my paintings: http://www.jeroenvanvalkenburg.nl
I decided to paint my bucket (a DP 95) with traditional oil paint and brushes. Here are some pics of my progress. The scratches are loosely based on the movie originals, so not very accurate. I didn't want to copy everything exactly and give my helmet a character of it's own.
I'm looking forward to hearing your reactions.

About the Artists
- Stephen Hannock is an American Luminist painter known for his atmospheric nocturnes, which often incorporate text inscriptions that relate to family, friends or events of daily life. He has demonstrated a unique appreciation for contemporary storytelling within the painting medium. His inventive machine polishing of the surfaces of his paintings gives a characteristic luminous quality to his work. His design of visual effects for the 1998 film What Dreams May Come garnered him an Academy Award. His works appear in collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. Hannock recently received an honorary doctorate in fine arts from Bowdoin College and is represented by the Marlborough Gallery.
- David Kratz is a painter who lives and works in New York City.

As a member of the school's critique panel, Kratz has curated multiple exhibitions including Take Home a Nude at Sotheby's New York, Water / Bodies andUncovered at the Eden Rock Gallery in St. Barth's and I've Got a Secret at the Forbes Gallery in New York.

No wonder this is Aubrey Organics most popular product! I have long, fine blonde hair and lots of it! This conditioner leaves my hair shiny, soft and non-greasy. I used to avoid using conditioner on my bangs because it always made them flat. I found that this conditioner actually gives my hair more body when styling. I use this after shampooing with Aubrey Organics "Green Tea Clarifying Shampoo" (I have oily hair). This product works amazingly well on my daughters' hair as well.

I love it Aubrey Organics GPB with all my heart. I am an African American female with natural hair that tangles like crazy. I have been natural for 10 years and haven't came across a product that detangles my hair like this stuff. My hair was easy to comb out after using this products that I wanted to cry. Thank you so much Aubrey Organics for your wonderful conditioners. I truly thank Iherb for carrying and selling this lovely product at an affordable cost!
Love It!

This is the best conditioner for my hair. My hair is natural and kinky and it makes it feel really soft and seals in the moisture, which is what all natural women want in a conditioner. Its a great product!
Best Conditioner Ever!
Posted by Reviewer1436365 on Sep 22, 2012 | Verified Purchase
As the title said this was by far the best conditioner used on my hair. I use it as a deep conditioner on dry hair,put on a shower cap at night and wake up with detangled, soft manageable hair the next day after I was it out. This not only cleans my hair but it helped my hair to find it's natural curl pattern.My hair is not only stronger but healthier and shinier. I LOVE THIS.I am forever Hooked. My only problem is the smell. I don't really take it well,makes me feel uneasy but I won't complain because it does its work well.

I'm really happy with this conditioner, it leaves my hair very soft and manageable. I have quite long hair and it feels just so healthy and nice. The smell is very strong but I like it, it smells of something fresh, like a lemony-pine-herbal sort of smell (if that makes any sense :P). Bear in mind that the smell lingers on the hair, so if you don't like strong scents it can be a problem (I like my hair to smell fresh, so it's another plus for me). Oh, and the texture is very thick and dense, I usually remove the green cap to get the product out of the bottle more easily.
very nice

Works very well on my hair. After using this for a week, I notice that my hair is silkier and stronger. Minus 1 star for the smell...it's very strong and will stay in your hair no matter how many times you rinse it.

I'm so allergic to this stuff. I'm thinking it's the oyster stuff since i've never had oyster in my life. I scratched all night and got hives everywhere. But the smell was so great and I loved how creamy it was. Not sure how well it worked on my hair since I had to shampoo a million times to stop scratching.

Reviews of this property
studio was great, so was Catherine. She has given us all the information at the studio.The location was good. We used metro and RER train and that is all we need. We just loved Paris. Prices where almost like in Finland. Cheese,vine and bread where quite cheap. Boulangeries, cafeteriens, they makes the feeling "parisienne" Merci Catherine
We spent 10 wonderfull days in a beautiful studio by Montmartre.
Everything worked fluently from the beginning info for every little details. Catherine is very friendly and helpful if you need some extrainfo and so.
Even studio is small it looks and feels like much,much bigger ~ big mirrows all over and two big balconies (North to Sacre Coer and South to Saint Denis view ) make the apartment a real fantastic. And furnitures and little detail - a result of good taste. It's really a pearl this apartment.
We used a metro Lamarc Calaincourt which is near (there is also a nearest bank automat).
If you want to see more from the apartment ~ I have taken lot of videoclips to my instagram liito_orava66
It's just an our "travel-diary", but lot of nice details is able to see.
~ In next year we have to get back!
Really lovely appartement. Clean, comfortable, sunny balcony. Boulangerie 2 min from the appartemet as well as the metro station. Can just recommend the appartment. Catherine explained us all the important things we have to know. Un grand merci pour l'accueil chaloureux.
Catherine is a great landlady, very friendly and very helpful. The apartment is located in a very nice zone, right in Montmartre and very close to the underground station too. Fully equipped, the apartment makes you fell as if you are in your own home. Totally recommended and 5 stars for Catherine and the apartment.
This is a lovely gem of an apartment, spacious and very attractively decorated, with two balconies, one south-facing, just lovely in the evening as the sun fell and the buildings lit up, a sight of the Sacre-Coeur too, one north-facing for coolness in the too hot sun, and with lovely views to the north of the city. A lovely retreat, I will look forwards to returning here, it would be perfect for New Year. Communication with owner and check-in and departure all ideal.
Location very central, metro within walking distance, small 1-bedroom apartment in the 8th floor. Very well equipped, owner seems to use the apartment itself. Bed can be folded, small but comfortable. For 2 people for a weekend highly recommended.
Lage sehr zentral, Metro fußläufig entfernt, kleines 1-Zimmer-Appartement in der 8.Etage. Sehr gut ausgestattet, Besitzerin scheint das Appartement selbst zu nutzen. Bett ist zusammenklappbar, schmal aber bequem. Für 2 Personen für ein Wochenende sehr zu empfehlen.
This was a perfect accomodation for a perfect holiday in paris. 4thrine is a very lovely person and there was nothin to complain about at all. We´d love to be back there may be next year!
It was so a Little beautiful Apartment! We had some very Nice days.
It is Perfect for a Short Stay, to visit the City.

Budget woes are making national headlines from Alabama to Michigan. Cities, counties, townships, special districts, and states large and small are under increasing pressure to stretch their dollars. With local programs squarely in the crosshairs for potential cuts, underutilized vehicles are a ripe target for potential savings.
Fleet managers are addressing the issue by establishing motor pools, in which a certain number of vehicles is made available for employees to reserve as needed. While car-sharing lowers inventory and related maintenance costs, employees concerned they won't be able to get the vehicle they need when and where they need it often resist such programs.
Nine City of Loveland, Colo., departments reacted similarly last year when Fleet Manager Steve Kibler issued an outcome-based RFP asking potential partners to identify ways to cut costs with the least utilized of the city's 650 vehicles. About 10%, used primarily by the Administration and Water & Power divisions, logged fewer than 5,000 miles per year, but couldn't be completely eliminated because they were necessary to serve 66,000 residents.
They changed their tune, however. After working completely through each difficulty one at a time, "The attitude changed from 'Why are we doing this?' to 'Why haven't we done this before?'" Kibler says. "Now, we're reducing greenhouse gases, saving fuel, and making people happier because they're driving a newer car."
Hardware/software/online package
Enterprise Fleet Management of St. Louis proposed automating vehicle scheduling using the online rental system of Enterprise CarShare (formerly WeCar), a program operated by Enterprise Fleet Management's affiliated brand, Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Pairing Enterprise Fleet Management and Enterprise CarShare eliminates having to manage two contracts simultaneously: one to lease vehicles and another for car sharing technology.
Enterprise Fleet Management leases cars to medium-size fleets (at least 15 vehicles) for one- to five-year contracts based on anticipated usage. For example, high-mileage vehicles have shorter lease terms because they'll wear faster than lower-mileage vehicles. The company works with customers to identify a contract length that best suits projected needs.
"We came to the city and said, if we can get rid of these 40 vehicles, we can get rid of all the internal costs of keeping them running," says Enterprise Fleet Management Regional Sales Manager Dan Wegener. "We can reduce costs and inventory while keeping the delicate balance of vehicles needed to get the job done. That's where the technology came in. The city was handling everything manually and saw the opportunity to bring in more efficiency."
Employees can reserve a vehicle online through a unique, password-protected Enterprise CarShare portal created for Loveland up to 15 minutes before picking it up at one of four public buildings throughout the city. This lets them plan in advance but also make last-minute requests, which is key to internal customer satisfaction levels.
Because Loveland's Fleet Management previously assigned a vehicle to a single department, the operation had no method for billing the same vehicle to multiple departments. CarShare provides that capability, allowing the city to bill use of 15 new, leased vehicles to specific departments. Enterprise charges per month; Loveland's Fleet Management charges its customers $6 to $15/hour or $25 to $60/day.

"Yes Plax...we know that you caught this pass for a glorious TD and a SB win against an 18-0 team, and we know that you owned Al Harris in sub zero conditions in GB to get us there in probably the greatest game a Giants WR ever had, but we Giants fans are "LOL-ing" your difficulty in getting a job and taking care of your family. .....I mean.....what have you done for us lately Plaxico?"

I'm only saying that we need to show a little appreciation for Giants who gave us great moments. Or at least not "LOL" at their difficulty.

BERKELEY -- As Cal's point guard but also the team's No. 2 scorer, Justin Cobbs says he finally is starting to find his balance.
"The coaches have given me a lot of confidence to just go out and play," Cobbs said. "I feel like a totally different player -- no stress, no thinking, just playing basketball. My whole focus is at the end of the game hopefully we have the most points."
The Golden Bears (20-11) take on UNLV (25-9) in the NCAA tournament game Thursday at HP Pavilion. It's a rematch of a Dec. 9 game in Berkeley in which the Runnin' Rebels had one more point at the end in a 76-75 victory.
Both teams are different three months later, and the difference in Cobbs is he better understands his role after a difficult midseason stretch.
The strangest game was Jan. 12 at home against Washington State, when Cobbs played 40 minutes and attempted a total of two shots.
"I guess I was a little confused in that role," Cobbs said of his combo guard status. "It was just me being unselfish and wanting the other guys involved. Sometimes your team needs you to do certain things."
One of the things the Bears need from Cobbs is scoring.
"There's a lot of times we move him to the off guard because we feel like he needs to be a priamry scorer," Cal coach Mike Montgomery said. "It's a tough spot for him a little bit. Sometimes we suffer because he can score, so we try to put him at the 2."
After averaging just 11.4 points and shooting poorly over a 12-game span in December and January, Cobbs has found his rhythm.
Over the past 13 games, he is scoring at a 17.1 clip while boosting his assists to 5.7 per game. Since a Jan. 27 game at Colorado, the Bears are 9-4 and Cobbs actually has scored one more point than teammate Allen Crabbe, the Pac-12 Player of the Year.
It's not by design. Depending on the flow of the game, Cobbs said he actually prefers to pass the ball.
"I try to come out aggressive and see how it's going," he explained. "I'll focus on how Allen's playing, how our bigs are playing and if those guys are scoring, then I don't need to score."
But in the final seconds of Cal's game at Oregon on Feb. 21, it was Cobbs who asked for the ball during a timeout -- and delivered the game-winning jump shot in a 48-46 victory that kept alive what became a seven-game win streak.
Because he is just 6-foot-2, Cobbs' basketball future beyond college will require him to play the point. He said he likely will ask for an evaluation of his game from the NBA, as juniors are allowed to do, but has no idea what kind of feedback he'll get.
For now, Cobbs is concerned only with UNLV and the NCAA tournament.
"I'm working on my point guard skills," he said. "It just so happens on this team I have to score. I have no problem with that. At times before I didn't understand that."

There's really nothing at all to Command and Conquer: Sole Survivor Online. As any chimp will realize, it's strictly an online game. The only offline feature is to practice against the computer. Considering how boring playing it with REAL people can get, it's hard to imagine anybody playing offline for more than two seconds. Nevertheless, the option is there.
Those who are farmiliar Command and Conquer remember that it incorporated the basic click-and-your-unit-moves-type of controls. While one could control a large number of units and resources in Command and Conquer (the major strategic aspect of the game), Sole Survivor Online lets the gamer play ONE unit. Yes, you heard me. One unit. There are a total of twenty three possible units including different infantry, vehicles, tanks, and dinosaurs, all recognizable from the original game, which adds some variety. One fact still remains the same: YOU CAN ONLY BE ONE! What kind of strategy is involved in clicking around a map moving but one unit? The answer: very little.
With your one unit, there are three basic modes of play available. The basic free-for-all incorporates running around a level (many will remember old Command and Conquer maps), collecting various crates that have different power ups including shot power, speed, rapid reload, range, radar and health. The final objective is to kill as many people as possible. Because attacking a unit is a simple as clicking on that particular unit, there is absolutely no strategy involved.
Capture the flag is basically the same deal, only on top of collecting crates and killing units, one must take a flag from an enemy base and plant it in their own base. Capture the flag actually does require some strategy as well as a team effort. Teams must work together to destroy other bases and at the same time protect their own. For those not quite up for this, 'football' uses the same idea as capture the flag, only the bases are unprotected and, as a result, there is less strategy and teamwork involved.
The overall game sounds and graphics are similar to the original Command and Conquer. Graphics include tiled backgrounds, and all objects on the screen are 2d sprites. Sounds effects use the same simple blasts and crashes... even the CD music seems the same!
One aspect that Westwood did not botch up, probably the most important aspect of online games in general, would be the Sole Survivor network. Games are easy to play, there is virtually no learning curve, and Internet latency is at a minimum. To meet the needs of the less computer-literate, all patches and updates are automatic and easy. So Westwood did a good job with the online support and speed for all Sole Survivor customers, if only they had done better with the game itself.

Hey Beeks i want some opinions about profitability. I am a three year old beek now and have a desire to grow in the Bee world. Really do like keeping Bees and selling their Honey but I am at a crossroad sort of speak. I have been reading a lot of articles about raising Bees for sale and I am wondering if this might be a worth while venture. I am planning already to do some splits early spring because my Bee supplier id really going up on his package Bee prices. What's the consensus of some of you long timers about raising and selling Bees?
thanks genie

Swipe Here for Hotel Service
Hotel mobile apps are moving beyond the boring book-a-room-only stage.
A new app from Hilton Worldwide Inc.'s Conrad Hotels & Resorts is likely the most comprehensive app so far, letting guests order up all sorts of perks and treats via a smartphone or iPad without having to sheepishly ask for everything in person.
Dubbed Conrad Concierge, and usable at 22 locations worldwide, it plugs directly into the hotels' back-office systems, so when you, say, order turndown service, the request goes right to the housekeeping department's computer system. The free app, available in six languages, has been downloaded more than 60,000 times since its launch, Hilton says.
To test it, we booked a room at the Conrad New York. When the app worked, it was brilliant. But there were plenty of technical difficulties and weird computer-human miscommunications, too.
One of the coolest features is the ability to preorder room service. At 2 p.m., before we checked in, we perused the in-room dining menu with its glossy pictures and ordered pizza and a salad to be delivered at 5:30 p.m. We would have loved to know the "daily market fish" and the "chef's daily soup," but there was no information. (Hilton says each hotel has the ability to update the app in real time.)
We clicked on "Before you arrive" and asked for "additional pillows" to be waiting for us. We clicked on "newspapers" and chose a copy of The Wall Street Journal to be delivered to our room. But after making both the newspaper and pillow requests, we received two messages in our Conrad Concierge app mailbox: One flagged an error with our request, and another said our request had been submitted. (We decided to be optimistic.) You can also request to have a text-message confirmation sent to your phone, too.
When we checked in, the woman at the front desk asked us which newspaper we wanted in the morning. We explained that we had ordered The Wall Street Journal via the app, but she said there was no record of our request in the hotel's system. (We asked her for a New York Times, curious to test the app against a human, head-to-head.) When we got to our room, there didn't seem to be any additional pillows. (Hilton said the error messages we received could have been the fault of our cellular service.)
Once in our room, we clicked on "Request amenities" and ordered slippers and a "dental kit." We would have ordered more, but you have to make each request individually, submitting your name, room number and phone number each time. This made us feel a little greedy and high-maintenance. (Hilton says it is planning to tweak the app to allow guests to make multiple requests at once.) Maybe Conrad read our avaricious mind, because 10 minutes later, an employee arrived bearing two dental kits, two pairs of slippers, two robes and a toiletry kit (with shampoo, conditioner, lotion and soaps) from Shanghai Tang, a luxury Chinese retailer.
Deciding to take a little pre-dinner nap, we clicked on "Wake-up call" and ordered one for 5:15 p.m. The app also lets you request a "snooze" for anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour after your initial call. (We asked for a 10-minute snooze.) A few minutes later, an employee phoned us and, a little confused, said she had received two requests, one for 5:15 p.m. and another for 5:25 p.m. She also wanted to make sure that we didn't really mean 5:15 a.m. (As if we weren't already feeling guilty enough for trying to sneak in an afternoon nap, now we had to justify it to a stranger.) "We would always err on the side of caution," said Tim Loughman, Hilton's vice president of innovation and guest experience, luxury & lifestyle brands "If they get a request they don't understand, they would call."
Meanwhile, our room-service dinner, turndown service and morning wake-up calls all came without a hitch. But neither paper we requested arrived.
Ready to go, we clicked on "Express Checkout" and had to submit two requests: one for "Check out my room" and another for "Email me my final bill." Again, we received two messages each, one an error message and the other saying our request was submitted. Having learned our lesson, we stopped by the front desk. Indeed, there was no record of our request made via the app.

Excellent location close to London main attractions. We have walked everywhere and it you want to take tube, Leicester Square station is literally one minute. On arrival we were welcomed by Ns Yang. All easy and friendly. The flat was clean and had all things we needed, including wifi. It was also very convenient on departure as we could keep our luggage until the departure timeWe had a great stay and I highly recommend this flat for anyone visiting Longon
Great location!
Walking distance to Oxford street and cozy Covent Garden.
Nice host and easy to communicate with over email.
The apartment was clean and exactly like in the add and the host was easy to contact. I recomend this host
We (2 adults, 3 children) had a great stay in London! The communication with the landlady has worked perfectly from the start, the location of the apartment can not be beat, you are right in the middle and can reach almost all the sights on foot well. That there in the middle of a big city at night is loud, we did not find unusually :-) We come back in any case!
Wir (2 Erwachsene, 3 Kinder) hatten einen großartigen Aufenthalt in London! Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin hat von Anfang an perfekt geklappt, die Lage der Wohnung ist nicht zu toppen, man ist mitten drin und kann fast alle Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß gut erreichen. Dass es mitten in einer Großstadt nachts laut ist, fanden wir nicht ungewöhnlich :-) Wir kommen auf alle Fälle wieder!
I will make a brief summary:
The best apartment location. In the heart of London nightlife district and movement, leading some noise. No trust in the pictures because it is not as nice as it looks. TV does not work, there is a comfortable sofa for 4 people well, the 5th maldormirá a 60x90 chair that if you are lucky to get pillows and cushions as a mattress. When we had a leak, the kitchen stool had 3 inches of water that we never knew where it came from and despite being warned that our flight arrived at Stansted at 22:00 and arrive at 00:00 or so, we reproached wearing half an hour waiting, we started well !, that's why I understand that money does not correspond as 958 euros for 3 nights it seems excessive. In our case we will only sleep and shower, then we get along not so good conditions that were offered. That if, if you are going to do the same as us, ie the shortest possible time to spend there, the location is perfect, metro station 20 meters away and 5 minutes from everything. We hope that if reservais, you may know what we've found us.
Haré un breve resumen:
Lo mejor del apartamento la ubicación. En pleno centro de Londres, zona de marcha y movimiento, lo que conlleva un poco de ruido. No fiaros de las fotos porque no es tan bonito como parece. La tele no funciona, no hay un sofá cómodo, para 4 personas bien, la 5ª maldormirá en un sillon de 60x90 eso si tiene suerte de ponerse las almohadas y cojines a modo de colchon. Cuando llegamos habia una gotera, el taburete de la cocina tenia 3 dedos de agua que nunca supimos de donde salia y pese haber avisado que nuestro vuelo llegaba a Standsted a las 22:00 y que llegaríamos a las 00:00 más o menos, nos echaron en cara que llevaba media hora esperando, vamos que empezamos bien!, por eso entiendo que calidad precio no se corresponde ya que 958 euros para 3 noches me parece excesivo. En nuestro caso solo vamos a dormir y ducharnos, por tanto llevamos bien las no tan buenas condiciones que se ofertaron. Eso si, si vais a hacer lo mismo que nosotros, es decir pasar el mínimo tiempo posible alli, la ubicación es perfecta, parada de metro a 20 metros y a 5 minutos de todo. Esperamos que si reservais, sepais lo que nos hemos encontrado nosotros.
We were a group of three girls, and our first day was horrible because the day before travelling wimdu told us that our reservation was cancelled and they couldnt find another place to stay till next day, so we were with our suitcases in London all day eith no where to go. But finally they worked properly and find us somewhere to stay, at Hui's house. She is very nice and let you do whatever you want to. The place is very nice and it is located in a good part of London, pacefully and safe. So finally we were very happy woth Wimdu work and with our host. The only thing that they have to change is that host are not allowed to cancelled the reservation in the last moment.
We, 3 persons were 3 nights as a guest and are very satisfied! The location is great, very close to the River Thames, the area is 24 hrs. Under camera surveillance and relatively quiet for London. The room was immaculate in order and clean and the hosts very helpful, friendly and accommodating. Our airline lost luggage my two girlfriends, but since we did not want to spend the whole time at the property, but wanted to see London, our host has agreed to take the suitcases in reception. A huge relief! Thank you so much for this and for the stay! We will definitely be back next year! It was a great time! Thank-You
Wir, 3 Personen, waren 3 Nächte lang zu Gast und sind sehr zufrieden! Die Lage ist super, ganz in der Nähe der Themse, die Gegend ist 24 Std. kameraüberwacht und für London relativ ruhig. Das Zimmer war tiptop in Ordnung und sauber und die Gastgeber sehr hilfsbereit, freundlich und zuvorkommend. Unsere Fluggesellschaft hat die Koffer meiner zwei Freundinnen verloren, aber da wir nicht die ganze Zeit in der Unterkunft verbringen wollten, sondern London sehen wollten, hat sich unser Host bereit erklärt, die Koffer in Empfang zu nehmen. Eine sehr große Erleichterung! Vielen, vielen Dank dafür und für den Aufenthalt! Wir kommen nächstes Jahr garantiert wieder! Es war eine tolle Zeit! Dankeschön
Apartment very well and very nice Hui.
Appartement très bien et Hui très sympa.
We had a very enjoyable stay here! 5 good friends on their annual shopping, theatre, dinner and dancing event in the city. Apartment is perfectly located for this.
Have never used Wimdu before but the process was really quite good - any questions were emailed to the host and you got a quick response.
Helen was absolutely brilliant and met us to check us in at the time agreed and was happy to get up and check us out early.
The apartment had everything we needed for our overnight stay. We had lunch, dinner and breakfast out but could easily have used the facilities in the apartment. It was quite noisy at night but you are in the centre of London so this was totally expected. Would definitely stay here again!

Volumes 27 through 37 are collected columns from The Illustrated London News
This volume contains all of G.K. Chesterton's columns in The Illustrated London News from 1935 to 1936. Most of the weekly articles have never been printed in book form until Ignatius Press undertook to do the collected works. Chesterton lovers will be delighted to find this treasure filled with jewels quite the match of his best writing. The breadth and depth of his knowledge - from history to politics to English fads and conventions - never fail to impress, and his wit is as refreshing as when these pieces were first written.
This book is the last of The Illustrated London News volumes. It includes a subject index which covers all the The Illustrated London News volumes (27-37).
G. K. Chesterton was one of the most beloved writers of the 20th century, quoted more often than any other writer. He wrote dozens of popular books on numerous topics, as well as thousands of essays. His books include Orthodoxy, The Everlasting Man, The Man Who Was Thursday, Father Brown Stories and many more.

More revelations of threats to Pakistani journalists
We released a statement Thursday--CPJ supports Pakistani journalists facing threats--about the decision of two Pakistani journalists to publicly announce the threats they had been receiving. Najam Sethi, editor of The Friday Times and host of a popular Urdu-language political program on Geo TV, and Jugnu Mohsin, also a Friday Times editor, said they had lived under threat for years but the level of danger had become so menacing in early 2011 that they were forced to leave Pakistan. A few months later, the two went public with the threats. Then, on Thursday, Sethi told us that he and Mohsin had decided to return to Lahore on Friday.

Brainerd native receives BAM award
The outstanding accomplishments of four members of the residential construction industry were recognized by the Builders Association of Minnesota (BAM) Wednesday, Dec. 5, at the annual BAM Awards ceremony in Minneapolis.
Brainerd native Gerry Traut of Xcel Energy received the Associate of the Year Award given to an associate member based on their service to the local, state and national associations and their involvement demonstrated to BAM and the community.

As we mainly use brush on glazes, I just tell the students to use very soft brush strokes, and go over the area quickly until it has had a chance to dry. Repeat until you have the required amount of clear coats.
It is definitely better to fire the underglaze, before applying the clear, but for my classroom, time and kiln space is alwys an issue, so sometimes that isn't an option.

Let it dry before applying a clear glaze over it. Never had a problem.

To prevent this issue in the future I am making up test tiles of all my underglazes so that I can see what the true colors are before applying them to my pieces. I discussed this with my teacher and can bring these with me to the beginning of the next class to be fired but until then am blind as to what colors I actually have in front of me. Once I have the underglaze issue under control I plan to move into using colored glazes as well as slip trailing and now know that before I do any work to make up test tiles to see what happens to the colors in the kiln.
I have bought a bunch of books on pottery to hopefully help fill in the blanks but most do not cover using underglazes all that much. I am not interested in wheel techniques at this point, wanting to focus on hand built forms. I ordered Erin Furimsky's DVD (love her work!) since she does a lot of decoration to her pieces at leather hard and that is what I want to do as well. I also subscribed to Pottery Making Illustrated this morning as well. Other than lots of practice and experimentation is there anything else I can do to get what I see in my head out onto my pieces?
Thank you once again for your input.

I have been doing some reading and it seems like applying clear glaze over underglaze when it is applied to bisque ware can be tricky. I didn't think to ask my teacher how to do this since I planned to apply all my underglazes before firing to bisque but well the best laid plans and all that.... So I have a piece that did not come out of the kiln after bisque firing quite as I had hoped so I have applied some additional underglazes hoping to "rescue" the piece. The problem I now have is how to apply the glaze without smearing these newly applied underglazes. The next session of classe does not start up again for a month and I'd rather not wait that long to ask what I am sure to those of you with more experience is a simple question. To get the BEST results do I pour, sponge, brush or dip the piece? It is a large platter so dipping might be hard but I could do it I guess in a plastic tub if I had to just not sure if I could reuse the extra glaze after doing something like that or not.
As you can tell I REALLY need help and really really appreciate your time for doing so.
Hi Terry,
No problem with bisque firing the piece again....I do a lot of underglaze work covered with a clear glaze. Although you can certainly apply the underglaze directly on the greenware, I often find that bisque firing the piece first makes it easier to work on, depending on what form it is. Anyway, a second (or even more) bisque firing will not cause any problems and will prevent any smearing or bleeding when you apply the glaze. I prefer to dip my pieces into the clear glaze, and if the platter is too large to fit into the bucket, pour the glaze into a container large enough to handle it. Most of us keep some large containers or basins in our studio just for that purpose.
Good luck!

success. Using a soft brush the undreglaze is not going anywhere. Please give it a try, im sure after you do it and get a grip of it, you will love
PS. Attached is a picture of some napking rings i made with underglazes and clear glaze over bisque.

I have used both approaches, and sometimes I'm lucky, sometimes not so much. I apply three coats of underglaze to greenware, bisque and then clear glaze. If interrupted while applying underglaze, sometimes I have to reapply after the bisque firing. I usually run the pot through the next bisque so I know the underglaze won't shift or bleed or smear. With careful application of the glaze you may succeed, but because I like really clear edge definition I've learned to do the second bisque.

...and she said yes!!
We allready planned to get married somewhere next year, but events had sped things up a bit so at one day we sat on the couch and decided to get married this year... very romantic... dates were set and she thought that was the end of it... she was very content with it all...
But I wouldn't let her get away with it that easily.
I rounded up my fellow 501st members from the Dutch Garrison and we met up at Do (my future wife...) her work, where we changed into our suits. A close friend of myn was dressed up in my tribute Fett costume.
The Tk' s went in and "abducted" her from her work, after which my friend came around the corner in my costume. He kneeled for her and she was nervous and confused alltogether.
After that he toke her hand and she asked if the helmet could be removed... after that I was standing behind her in my ROTJ Fett costume and she jumped. Then she didn' t know what was who and who was what and I toke off my helmet, telling her that I wouldn't let her get of the hook so easily. I said a few words... I can' t remember what exactly, I was nervous...
She became very emotional, and then I went on my knees for her and proposed. It was a very special and emotional day for us. We'll never forget it.
My biggest thank you goes out to my future wife, who was the whole reason for this... for me.
Second I' d like to thank my very dear friends of the Dutch Garrison, who helped to turn this day into a very, very special one. They came from all over the country, to our little place.. for us, to help us... they Are amazing. Also: Pieter, thanks brother!! He endured having to wear my tribute Fett and did it all with a smile!! I could not have done this without any of you guys and girls!!
ALso, TDH: thanks!! I never would have had the Fett I have today, if it weren't for you!!


text: Here are plans and measurements for nucs I make. I think they are simple and you can make 4 five-frame nucs out of one 4' x 8' sheet of 15/32 plywood that sells for +/-$10 at Lowes or Home Depot. I use them for swarm traps, queen breeding nucs, and I overwinter nucs in them. I also leave the bottom off of some to stack on other nucs to make 10 frame nucs. I use thin 1 1/4 inch nails, titebond III glue, and I paint them to ensure I get many years of service out of them.
