Feb 28, 2013 at 9:47 am #1299803
I normally hike with Trail Runners both for day hikes and backpacking. Right now my footwear is Nike Terra Humara trail running shoes which I love and is extremely comfortable with superfeet (green) insoles.
However I started snowshoeing this season and my trailers completely failed me (lots of ankle twists) I switched to Salomon Quest 4D and it kind of took care of snowshoeing trips but gives me blisters in the left heel and has a lot of heel lift, while I do okay for day hikes, it is absolute pain for snow-camping and has become an unnecessary evil I have to put up with.
Wondering is there is any solution to my footwear issues at all, I have read and re-read the footwear article but fail to see how people manage comfortably with trail runners for multi-day snowshoeing.
I've an upcoming multiday trip to go around Crater Lake (with snowshoes) and the thought of lack of proper footwear is making think twice to go on the trip.Feb 28, 2013 at 10:39 am #1959730

I've been thinking about this recently too.
I've typically just worn my trail runners on snowshoe trips and not had many problems. But a recent trip required a lot more travel laterally across a somewhat steep slope and I repeatedly would have my outside foot twist underneath me toward the downhill side. It wasn't super painful but it was frustrating and would slow me down trying to avoid letting it happen again.
It seemed like wearing boots that lock in the ankle could've helped prevent this… I just don't own any other than snowboard boots which would've been overkill. It wasn't a super steep slope or anything and I don't believe I was ever in any danger of slipping or falling down the slope but perhaps it would've been better to switch to crampons for traversing this particular slope and then switch back to snowshoes once I was finished with traversing the slope.
The other thing that has crossed my mind is using a narrower pair of snowshoes for this type of terrain that might allow you to better keep the shoes directly underneath you and/or walk with the shoes closer together without getting hung up.Feb 28, 2013 at 12:11 pm #1959750
I already use a narrow snowshoes. Most of oregon trails are steep and don't require a lot of float.Feb 28, 2013 at 12:39 pm #1959754

I hike up here in the Pacific Northwest year round in the Cascades which means abround 9 months a year I am at least taking snowshoes with me and often wear them for days at a time on overnight or longer trips. I switch from trail runners to A beefy pair of Zamberlan hiking boots — full leather and gore-tex lined. I feel boots are required for anything other than a quick couple hours on easy rolling terrain. I am often snowshoeing on quite steep slopes and am often changing between them and crampons (which also work poorly with trail runners), micro spikes or just the boot for plunge or french stepping. The fact that they keep my feet TOTALLY dry with gaiters is super important for me in cold weather as well. I recently was snowshoeing in to an overnight camp and had my feet get wet by stepping into a knee deep stream and within an hour or two I had to give up on our destination and camp early as my feet were getting super cold.
I guess I am saying that I think trail runners are really not an appropriate footwear choice for winter travel in my opinion.Feb 28, 2013 at 3:11 pm #1959805

"I guess I am saying that I think trail runners are really not an appropriate footwear choice for winter travel . . ."
And I am surprised at how much I like trail running shoes in snowshoes for winter travel, including overnights, at least on moderate terrain.

I've read numerous posts where people swear by wearing trail runners with snowshoes. I could see using them with appropriate bread bags, goretex socks or whatever on a trail but I'd have some real concerns using them off trail or side hilling and I would then want some ankle support. I'm returning to snowshoeing after a decade hiatus and by no means am I an expert.
Are those of you who wear trail runners taking your snow shoes into the woods or do you normally stick to the trail?Feb 28, 2013 at 4:53 pm #1959840

I typically wear an oversized trail runner with a thin liner sock and/or a thicker merino sock (depending upon conditions). I then wear a goretex sock over the other sock(s). I'll also wear knee-high waterproof gaiters. This works fine for keeping my feet dry and warm enough for my encountered snow conditions. Obviously if I step in a creek over the top of my WP socks, my feet will get wet but I fail to see how it would be any different with a goretex boot.
We usually follow "trails" in terms of our selected route but seeing as how the trail is under 4-10 feet of snow with no tracks, it's really the same as just going off-trail in terms of the conditions. Under a bunch of snow, the "trail" looks just like the rest of the surroundings. Most of our snowshoeing is either in the Sierra or up around Tahoe.
Like I said above, trail runners work okay for me most of the time. It's just side hilling that's awkward.
For non-technical terrain, I find both my microspikes and Kahtoola KTS crampons work fine with my trail runners too.Feb 28, 2013 at 4:57 pm #1959842

As much as anything I feel it neccesary to keep my feet dry… Support and control aside, how do you deal with constantly wet feet with trail runners? In cold conditions it seems like it would compromise your ability to stay warm….Feb 28, 2013 at 5:08 pm #1959848
When using trail runners for snowshoeing, I've used it with a pair Goretex Socks.Feb 28, 2013 at 8:27 pm #1959955

"Are those of you who wear trail runners taking your snow shoes into the woods or do you normally stick to the trail?"
Why bother with snow shoes if you're following a trail? Get skis for graded terrain!
I have not used snow shoes with trail runners in truly rugged terrain, but I seldom follow trails unless they happen to be going where I want to go. And I always use trail runners in my snow shoes.
I have no problems keeping my feet warm and dry with two layers of socks and plastic bags. I have used this system down to about 20*F.
Also, if you keep your shoes in or under your bag to keep them from freezing at night, trail runners take up less space than boots.
Finally, if I am side-hilling a lot, I find the torque of a boot on my ankle and leg to be more of a problem than twisting my ankle. I would rather have ankle flexibility when side-hilling to reduce torque on my knees and the rest of my legs. . . skis are a different matter when you can edge in your uphill edge and the boots' stability help you hold your ski level.Feb 28, 2013 at 9:11 pm #1959971

I have done the Crater Lake loop like 3 Januarys ago.
I'd go with boots this late in the game. People use trail runners without pain when their ankles are 'in shape.' If yours twisted a lot (which…
Look Bottom Line: The ROAD around crater lake is flat. The Snow that covers that road is jacked up and crusty.
Imagine a stormy sea, with waves everywhere. Now imagine it was frozen solid. Crazy drifts for miles. The Avy zones were ankle busting icy traverses of prob 30* slopes. We were crying for crampons cause our ankles were done halfway through the zones. Traverses on snow shoes- yuck. Oh I should mention we DID NOT take the Avy Zone detour. We went through the dangerous spot after conferring with the ranger before the trip. Can't fall there either… nice ol man made 40' dropoff.
I say this late in the game take your quests, add an insole and/or Leukotape like a madman. I recommend boots because there is a lot of wavy terrain that is crusty so your foot does what it does. (esp in snowshoes)
I know of a group of two snowshoers and two skiers with a pulk and the skiers stopped after the first day. Cant say I blame em much.
If you feel you can get your ankles in shape then maybe TRs if you are feeling spry.
A guy with us did it in snowboard boots and Denalis!Mar 1, 2013 at 8:07 am #1960086Mar 1, 2013 at 8:36 am #1960092
Jeff, thanks for your post. Looks like Trail Runners are not going to cut it for CL trip. I think with some blister protection I will go with my Salomon Quest Goretex boots.
What was the reason you guys didn't try to bypass Avalanche zones.Mar 1, 2013 at 9:52 am #1960123

@woodenwizardLocale: NePo
The Avy zones are lengthy and steep on both ends. The ranger said that due to the weathe we *should be safe* to go through.
Its like the Indian burial ground scene on Jeremiah Johnson. ;)
When we went it just so happened to be a high pressure ridge parked over the area for almost a week and we were there on the last three days. Happened to be lucky.Mar 1, 2013 at 2:40 pm #1960214

In all seriousness, snowshoes will tweak you hard on extended sidehills and the like. With low shoes it'll be your ankles, with boots it'll be your knees. Pick.
There are times when snowshoes are best, but most of the time they aren't (see above). Learn to ski and save yourself a lot of grief.Mar 8, 2013 at 8:00 am #1963104
Has anyone got some experience with VBL socks? I'm thinking should I wear them for this multiday trip. Temp ranges are expected to be 20-30 in the morning and 10 in the night.

|Thanks, yea i heard something along the lines of even a bit of agitation is enough. Do you get scum buildup? I get a layer of scum sometimes if I don't churn that surface layer well. And doesn't that affect oxygen exchange?
I'll let those with more experience weight in - but I will share that I recently came to the realization that it really doesn't take much surface agitation at all to ensure enough oxygen for your fishies.
Especially with a planted tank and the o2 that the plants give.
I'm slowing coming around from the "if it ain't splashing, it aint' oxygenating" way of thinking. I'm surprised at how little surface agitation is needed, actually. I've currently got my cannister output below the surface only making gentle waves, and the fish seem perfectly happy. Even small neons are way at the bottom, hanging out in low-flow areas; no signs of gasping whatsoever.
Filter outflow surface agitation
I had a question on Filter outflow. So i had a pretty bad day on sunday, broke 3 things, filter outflow pipe, inflow pipe, and impeller shaft of filter because of my carelessness. Pretty sad but luckily i had backups for a 2nd tank i was planning. Since i broke the filter outflow, i had to get a new one. In the moment i decided to get the Do aqua poppy pipe. At the moment, I have the outflow near the surface to teh point there the water is kinda like HOB'ing out and providing nice surface agitation. Needless to say, my flow has taken quite a hit. For sure, i have the surface agitation to help with oxygenation, but is teh reduction in flow worth it? Particles will still move about the tank, though much slower. Also, how little flow can i get away with? Thanks guys
Just wanted to add, the poppy pipe combined with my cerges reactor provides much less directional flow compared to my DIY ADA lily pipe. Even fully submerged the flow is pretty slow.

Still have my ticket...
Still have my ticket, the first time I ever heard Led Zeppelin was in a room with the speakers way apart and my friend said you have to hear this they played a whole lot of love, I knew at that point that I had been touched by a force that I had never known and it talked to me. Every man had his job and they did it so masterfully. They would just build you up then just tear you down. I began to follow the band only in print and their albums. To me they were just so mistic, they would go away and then cut another album with almost all great songs. This feat is so hard to believe that just a hand full of bands have ever get to the air so rare. I was a witness May 18, 1977, thanks guys for the light and the shade. BAS III

Overview: Conquest of Planet Earth recreates an alien invasion in the 1950s, but unlike Invasion From Outer Space, this time it's on a larger scale. Instead of battling individual humans with your bubble-headed Martians, you take on entire locations at once, vying for domination. Although it's been out for a while now — a new expansion has been announced but no release date yet — I hadn't gotten to sit down and play it until recently.
Players: 1 to 4
Ages: 12 and up
Playing Time: 30 to 90 minutes
Retail: $59.95
Rating: Resistance is futile. A different direction than other Flying Frog games that I've played; can be a bit complicated but is fun if you get into the theme.
Who Will Like It? Fans of alien invasions … particularly if you like doing the invading. It has a lot of die-rolling so you'll need to be okay with a high luck factor. There's also lots of silly sci-fi humor, so if you love cheesy alien movies, this is right up your alley.

Beat the heat by cooling off with these easy-to-make treats featuring some of summer's in-season produce! With sweet fruits like blueberries and honeydew melon along with cool veggies and herbs like cucumbers and mint, these simple recipes make for some special summer snacks that both you and your kids will love.
Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into paper cups and place a popsicle stick in the middle. Freeze overnight. To serve, peel the paper cups off of the popsicles and enjoy!
Slice the honeydew melon and cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds.To create the melon balls, use a melon scooper (which can be found in the kitchen equipment aisle of most grocery stores) to scoop each of the melon halves into a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, squeeze the juice of one lime. Mix the honey and chopped mint into the lime juice and stir well. Drizzle over the melon balls and mix. Serve chilled.
Slice each apricot in half, removing the seed from the middle. Place apricot halves on a plate with the pit side facing up. Spoon about 1 TBS of yogurt into the pitted area of the apricot half and repeat until all apricot halves are full. Lastly, top the yogurt with one blueberry (or whichever berry you choose) and serve.
Cut the cucumber into 1/8 inch slices. Squeeze lemon over the cucumber slices, and then sprinkle with salt and chili powder.

Instead of making multiple threads I figured I'd just put everything I'm doing in this one. I think I've made enough progress to start posting some pics, so here we go!
The bucket is a fiberglass mystery helmet I bought back in....2005 I believe. Needless to say I put a ton of work into it before it was even ready to paint, including completely reshaping the horrible rangefinder ear cap. That thing was like a half inch thick. I remember I even had to fix the rounded cheek corners! This is the first thing I painted and what started me on this crazy path. I got the stalk from BKBT a long time ago.
The flightsuit is an older Bobamaker and the vest is an older style Cucblack. Can you tell I've been piecing this together for a while? In fact, most items are used because I'm trying to do this on a budget.
An excellent set of IOA armor right out of the box.
Studs made from computer keys. I've put threaded inserts in them and sanded down the scalloped tops so they're flat. I think they'll work for now.
A Batninja ammo belt. I got this secondhand and this is how it arrived...several of the pouches were coming apart.
A little glue and some paint on those shiny snaps. An awesome belt.
Many more updates to come. This will be a wearable costume but I'm really only making it as a display. The mannequin is also scratchbuilt to my size/build. I can post more info on that is anyone is interested.

Although his formal education was in painting, Jan Dibbets created photographic works early in his career that evidence a fresh approach to other media and an abandonment of rigid styles. Specifically, he used photography as an analytical tool to develop new ways of understanding visual phenomena. These early works, titled Perspective Corrections (1967–1969), initiated his lifelong exploration of the essential nature of both perception and representation by combining two illusions: the assumed transparency of photography, the way an object photographed seems to occupy a real space beyond the photograph's surface; and an illusion created by the artist himself, such as a trapezoid drawn on his studio wall and shot from an angle that makes it read as a square on the flat plane of the physical photograph.
A pioneer of what would soon be called Conceptual Art, Dibbets was included in a number of important international exhibitions, such as When Attitudes Become Form at the Kunsthalle, Bern, in 1969, and Information at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1970. These exhibitions sparked communication among artists working in different countries and on different continents, establishing a sense of community among a generation sharing many of the same ideas and attitudes. His work after 1970 shows the influence of these important encounters with other artists, especially the seriality of American Minimalism. (Indeed, he and artist Sol LeWitt have had an enduring friendship.)
In Daylight, Flashlight, Outside Light, Inside Light (1971), Dibbets repeats the act of photographing his subject—two potted plants on a windowsill—twelve times under slightly altered conditions. This lyrical piece reads like a filmstrip, but in fact is an empirical study of the effects of varying light conditions. It is as if he is discovering the medium's possibilities all over again, step by step, and seeing the world for the first time through the photographs. As in much of his work, he focuses on the building blocks of visual perception—such as light—using photography as merely one tool. Throughout his career, Dibbets has continued to employ the interaction of light and windows as a double metaphor for the camera's lens and the human eye.
The artist soon turned this analytical eye and collaged-panorama technique to the subject of landscape. Playing with the famously low Dutch horizon line and flat topography, he gradually rotated the camera to create fictitious mountains when the photographs are assembled in a row. Here he is again relying on our trust in the medium. We have learned to believe in a photo's ability to show us things as they are, yet the artist undermines this effect by using images of real land to create a fictional landscape. Abstraction, and the role of the artist in creating such illusions, are classic problems in painting that Dibbets' approach suggests is also an underlying issue in photography. His works lay the foundation for the projects of contemporary artists like Andreas Gursky and Thomas Demand. For Dibbets, however, the artist's role in these illusions is always revealed. As in Daylight, Flashlight, his works bear the instructions for their own creation in pencil sketches and annotations beneath the image.
In each of the ten photographs that comprise Horizon 1°–10° Land (1973), a single image of the flat Dutch landscape is rotated to create a diagonal horizon line. From left to right in the progression, the reoriented views have been framed in such a way that they drop incrementally by one degree, gradually shifting the sky back toward its natural orientation. The elements also get increasingly wide, allowing more of the skewed field of vision to be revealed. The methodical logic of this multipart piece is indicated by a sequence of degree measurements at the bottom of each photograph.
The serially additive process Dibbets uses in Horizon 1°–10° Land parallels the approaches of some American Minimalists. Several such works in the Walker Art Center's collection include Donald Judd's untitled red progression of 1965 and Sol LeWitt's Cubic Modular Piece #2 (L-Shaped Modular Piece) (1966), or Arte Povera artist Mario Merz's explorations of the medieval Fibonacci counting system as referenced in Igloo (1971). Seriality allows for controlled experiments, ordering the visual environment by repeating the same form, sometimes with slight variations according to a predetermined system. The interest in and imposition of such ordering principles was widespread in the late 1960s and early 1970s, though none yielded such poetic results as Dibbets' photographs, which seek to understand and communicate the nature of perception by revealing our own capacity for abstraction. Today, Dibbets continues to turn his camera's eye toward new subjects in his personal investigation of the visual world, surprising us with dizzying views of cathedrals and fantastic windows on the world.

2009 Suzuki Equator Rock Sliders & Mastercraft Seats - Project Super EquatorPosted in Project Vehicles on June 1, 2009 Comment (0)
We couldn't tell you with any honesty that we are ever truly finished with a project vehicle. There's always someone making some cool component we'd like to bolt or weld onto our rigs. But for now we are wrapping up the buildup on Project Super Equator after the addition of a pair of custom MasterCraft racing seats and rocker guards from Shrockworks.
We're always happy to jump in a rig with MasterCraft seats, and not just for their comfort. They are constructed with an internal suspension system, which helps reduce the shock of harsh terrain. Side bolsters hold a driver and passenger in place, enhancing safety, especially when wheeling at extreme angles or high-speed racing. Our vehicles can never have enough body armor-especially a rig with rocker panels as long as this four-door Equator. The ShrockBars offer ridged full-length protection.
We've driven the truck more than 7,000 miles and are still enamored of its on- and off-highway performance. We would love to work the magic we do on trucks like this by tearing off the IFS suspension and rear axle, to replace them with bulletproof solid axles. But that wasn't the plan for our Equator, and it would probably turn into a never-ending build. We just want to drive it! Approaching this build, we had the idea of creating a rugged and capable truck anyone could build, yet still use as a daily driver or family go-getter. And that's what we have accomplished.
Over the past few months, we have come to appreciate the Equator's economical performance and all-around versatility. The truck is comfortable, gets decent gas mileage, and has enough storage space for camping gear or a load of bricks from the local home center. The truck has been invaluable to the staff for trail runs, photo shoots, and as a parts hauler. We also used it just for what Suzuki designed it for: transporting ATVs and motorcycles.

While it has been covered in many other places across the Web (start with Marco Arment, then Ben Brooks), Twitter's API changes today should worry any social marketers who use tools and technologies that interact with Twitter.
In Twitter's announcement, they state that they are not going to penalize "Enterprise Clients" and vendors of "Social Analytics" — every quadrant but the top right of their visualization, below. However, Twitter did not clearly delineate lines between what is and is not acceptable. To continue to grow, Twitter needs to encourage a robust and healthy ecosystem, which supports both marketers and users. In order to do that, Twitter must provide much clearer guidance about the long-term stability of its APIs and its support for businesses built on top of their data. If this requires announcements of additional fees for data usage, that will be fine as long as the rules of the road are clearly laid out.
Until Twitter does so, I expect the volume of new enterprise-ready startups centered on Twitter to reduce, and existing vendors will increase their focus on other platforms and communities as CEOs and boards of directors try to reduce their risk and exposure to future changes by Twitter.

Hi, quick question
Is it possible to use coloured slip over a glazed and fired piece? I missed a bit the first time around. Thanks
Posted 28 September 2013 - 08:00 AM
I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, as I've only used a limited amount of products, but from my experience you do not use colored slips/ underglaze over glaze.
The results I have seen, cause the underglaze to look "foamy", and generally look terrible.
Of course, if you used a low fire underglaze, it would melt at high fire temperatures, so in that case it might work.
Posted 30 September 2013 - 01:15 PM
I imagine it would depend upon the slip composition. I have used commercial and home mixed underglazes on fired pieces successfully - the trick is getting the underglaze to stay by coating the piece with dilute Elmer's glue or by warming - and refiring to the original glaze temperature (cone 6 in my case). If the slip is all or almost all clay I would not expect it to work, but some slips approach being underglazes in their composition, with feldspars and fluxes added.
I have recently taken up on-glaze painting (china painting) and find this a much quicker and easier way of recovering from booboos.
Posted 30 September 2013 - 06:26 PM
how was the slip made? is it simply wet clay with color added or is it a formula with several ingredients?
i know that you cannot do what you want if it is just wet clay with color.
where did you get the slip? lots more info would help.
Posted 01 October 2013 - 08:26 AM
Slip is clay, and so it must follow the same rules of attachment as any other clay- nothing harder than leather hard. If you trail slip onto glaze fired, bisqued, or bone dry work, it will flake off as it dries. Underglazes are a completely different animal, and are formulated to work on leather hard, bone dry or bisque. They may very well work on glazed pots, too.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
It is gorgeous and you should be very proud!
Fabulous! It's bright and cheerful...LOVE it!
Being skinny isn't easy, so I gave up and opted for being sexy instead. (aunty acid)
Wow that is so pretty. Very bright and colorful.
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
not a blue lover but I must say your quilt is great and I love the way you used the blues
That's GORGEOUS!!!
By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.
~Richard Dawkins
That is a beautiful quilt. You really do have a great stash of blues.
That quilt is fabulous! Love the pattern.
Your quilt is gorgeous. Great fabrics and pattern.

WESTBOROUGH, Mass. — American Superconductor Corp. has announced it has built and demonstrated the world's first 5,000-hp high temperature superconductor (HTS) electric motor. The company's patented, ultra-compact HTS electric motors are designed to reduce manufacturing costs of industrial and ship propulsion motors by up to 40% compared with conventional motors. The electrical losses of HTS motors, which use HTS wires instead of copper wires on the rotor, are also much lower, which translates into significant fuel savings and lower operating costs.
American Superconductor's prototype 5,000-hp HTS motor is about the size of a household refrigerator. It is as little as half the size and weight of a conventional 5,000-hp motor. Its net electrical losses, including losses associated with cryogenic cooling of the HTS wires, are up to half the electrical losses of a conventional motor.
Motors over 1,000 hp use about 25% of all electric power generated in the United States. The Department of Energy estimates that HTS motors could save billions of dollars per year.
Industry experts estimate that the current market for industrial electric motors with power ratings over 1,000 hp, used in applications such as pumps, fans and compressors, is about $1.2 billion per year worldwide. A major new market emerging for high-power electric motors is electric ship propulsion.
ASHRAE approves indoor air quality position document
ATLANTA — Building energy efficiency and indoor air quality (IAQ) should be considered simultaneously, according to a new American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) IAQ position document.
The Society approved its Indoor Air Quality Position Document at its.
2001 Annual Meeting June 23-27 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The document replaces the IAQ Position Statement and Paper approved by ASHRAE in 1989.
"The new IAQ position document addresses current building construction and maintenance practices and applies the Society's guidance in ventilation and indoor air quality to them," ASHRAE President William Coad, P.E., said. "ASHRAE seeks to provide for occupants' well-being and comfort by improving indoor air quality and achieving efficient building operation."

Bluff City fights prescription drug problem
BLUFF CITY, Tenn. - Sullivan County is ahead of a national initiative trying to put a drop-off box in all law enforcement agencies by the spring of 2014.
There are 94 narcotic pills prescribed for every person over the age of 11 in Tennessee, according to the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.
So what happens to all of that unused medication? Sullivan County is trying to collect it in a safe way before the drugs fall into the wrong hands.
Sullivan County Anti-Drug Coalition coordinator Alice McCaffrey told us you should get prescription drugs out of your home as soon as you can. "Our biggest concern truly was friends and family getting into the cabinets," she said.
On Thursday, she recognized the Bluff City Police Department for finding and collecting the drugs. They now have a drug drop-off box.
McCaffrey told us she is excited because Bluff City was the last law enforcement office in Sullivan County that needed a box. It puts them ahead of a national initiative trying to put a box in all law enforcement agencies by the spring of 2014. "It was something we wanted to get done as fast as we could," McCaffrey said.
One reason it's easier to accomplish this in Sullivan County --Eastman Chemical Company is nearby. "We were lucky because we have Eastman," said McCaffrey. "They have a great incinerator. That's the problem statewide, there's nowhere to get the drugs incinerated."
The drop-off box can be accessed 24 hours a day at the Bluff City Police Department.
Be careful what you put in it, though -- "You should not leave needles on any drugs that you're dropping if you haven't taken them off already," McCaffrey said. "Just think about the person who has to empty the box," McCaffrey said.
The Sullivan County Sheriff's Office donated their old unit to Bluff City since they had to get a bigger one.
Kingsport police have collected more than 2,000 pounds of drugs between September 2010 and June 2013.
You can take your leftover prescription medications to the Bluff City Police Department, Bristol Tennessee Police Department, Kingsport Police Department, and the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office.
We called three pharmacies on Saturday.
A pharmacist at Brookside Pharmacy in Kingsport told us you can also get rid of your drugs by grinding them down and mixing them with coffee grounds or kitty litter.
McCaffrey agreed that is a good idea but she said there are problems disposing of your drugs this way. "The problems people see with these alternate ways to dispose of these things is they go to the landfills and eventually the water system," she said.
If you cannot make it to a drop box in the next two weeks to dispose of your prescription medications, there will be a National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on October 26. On that day you can bring your drugs to the parking lot of the Bristol Tennessee Police Department or the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office for collection.

Show Coverage: Third Annual Relaxin' on the Bayou Car and Truck Show
Getting' Low in Lafayette
The skies were blue, temperature just right, and all the custom cars and trucks were shining at the third annual Relaxin' on the Bayou Car and Truck Show Lafayette, Louisiana. Participants, vendors, and spectators turned out for what is one of Louisiana's fastest-growing shows, bringing over 400 show vehicles from all over the country.
If you enjoy checking out the latest products, vendor row was the place to be. In attendance were KIK, Weekend Celebrity, Cambered Video, Rim Pros, Killa Kustoms, and Pull-A-Part. And Dj Maze from St. Louis, Missouri, entertained the crowds at the event.
An eye-catcher at the show, this pristine 1967 GMC Sierra was built by Shawn Sammons of Eudora, Arkansas, with its super-clean two-tone paint job and bodywork. Nothing was left untouched, thanks to the guys at Silver Star Customs. The truck gets its lift by a full Accuair air ride suspension for that stanced-out look. Shawn is rolling on a set of B.A.D. Gunslingers, 20x8 inches in the front and 22x10 in the rear. Under the hood Shawn installed a GM LS motor. In the interior, Shawn made sure to keep it up to date but classy as well. He installed a Vintage Air A/C unit to stay cool while adding power windows for that modern touch.
One of my favorite parts of any truck show is the under-construction vehicles that come out. I like to mention this category when I go to these events because you get to see what people are working on and what amazing rides they have to look forward to in the future. One of these cool projects belongs to Donnie Arcemont, of Morgan City, Louisiana. It's a 1994 Chevrolet S-10 with too many creative mods to count. Inside and out, almost everything on this truck has been shaved or modified in some way. The interior is one great example: It sports a dashboard out of a 1959 Impala that's been sectioned to fit in the truck. The wheels are Raceline Speedsters 22-inchers all the way around, and the low stance of the truck is produced by a fully adjustable air ride system. The heart of the beast is a carbureted turbo 350. This is one bad truck you'll want to be on the lookout for!
For information on next year's show, visit www.relaxinonthebayou.com. You don't want to miss this one next year! Until then, keep cruising the streets and I'll see everyone at the next show!

Was last year, Eli's last Super Bowl?
We all want Eli to win us another one, but how many years does he really have left? Not sure we can really get to the Super Bowl anymore.
Don't get me wrong, we have a talented squad, but this is a good question that we could consider since last year we were all asking ourselves how many more Super Bowls Eli has in him.
What do you guys think?

Missoula's American Legion Post 101 prepares for Veterans Day
MISSOULA, Mont. - American Legion Post 101 in Missoula kicks off Veterans Day celebrations at the Doughboy statue at the Courthouse Sunday.
Vietnam Veteran Dan Gallagher is preparing for the event.
Gallagher and his son Brian gather flags and decorations for the annual observance.
The public is invited to place a flower provided by Post 101 on an honor table to recognize their own special vets.
The theme for this year's celebration is "You don't have to die to be a hero."
"Memorial day we remember those who died in battle, " said Gallagher,
"but Veterans Day is really about all veterans," he said.+
Missoula's Veterans Day observances start at 1 o'clock Sunday.
That's a change from the usual 11 o'clock schedule held on most Veterans Days.
Gallagher said since the holiday fell on a Sunday, the later time gives people a chance to get home from church.
Speaking at Sunday's event includes U.S. Senator Jon Tester, and former U.S. Senator John Melcher.
The main speaker is Missoula's fourth judicial district court standing master Brenda Desmond.

Claire Danes: Crazy Good
While assisting celebrity interior-designer Tony Ingrao, Heather Clawson saw the potential for a forum showcasing spaces and designers—a playful, personalized take on the rarefied pages of upscale home-design magazines. So inspired, she created Habitually Chic, giving an insider's view of the interior-design world. Since launching in 2007, the site has been celebrated for featuring emerging talent and trends alongside the homes of, say, Gwyneth Paltrow and Aerin Lauder. Recently, Clawson channeled the blog's style into Creativity at Work, a book that explores the work spaces of artistic minds such as Peter Som and J.Crew's Jenna Lyons. This month, Clawson gives ELLE.com a look into her office—her New York City apartment—and shares her shortlist of clever ways to refresh your home and office for the new year.

/// Hang 10: The Year's Most Promising Failed Pilots
Perhaps no exchange more efficiently lays bare the unsentimental heart of the TV business quite like the back-and-forth between Jules and Vincent at the beginning of Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction . As the two hit men are on their way to make a collection, Jules reveals that their boss' wife, Mia Wallace, once starred in a pilot. Because Vincent's pop culture appreciation seems to have died out with Mamie Van Doren—"I don't watch TV," he says— Jules finds himself defining the term "pilot" for his dopey, dope-addled partner. "Well, the way they pick TV shows is, they make one show. That show's called a 'pilot,'" Jules explains. "Then they show that one show to the people who pick shows, and on the strength of that one show they decide if they want to make more shows. Some get chosen and become television programs. Some don't, become nothing. She starred in one of the ones that became nothing." This year, another 53 pilots joined Mia Wallace's doomed

Good location, good service.
Gute Lage, guter Service.
Centrally located, but just simply furnished, clean, friendly service in the same building. Small touches like a daily-changing, loving arranged breakfast basket.
Zentral gelegen, einfach aber funktional eingerichtet, sauber, freundliche Betreuung im selben Gebäude. Kleine Aufmerksamkeiten wie einen täglich ändernden, lieb hergerichteten Frühstückskorb.
Great apartment! I would book this apartment again!
Super Apartment! Ich würde dieses Apartment wieder buchen!
Apartment matched the description.
Eingangsbereicht smell some urine, but this does nothing, as the apartment is on the 6th floor. An elevator is available.
Up in the historic city center is only a few minutes, everything can be reached on foot, but otherwise would be a metro station right next door.
At 5t we had plenty of room, the kitchen but we had used for morning coffee cooking.
Appartment entsprach der Beschreibung.
Eingangsbereicht riecht etwas Urin, was aber nichts macht, da das Appartment im 6.Stock liegt. Ein Aufzug ist vorhanden.
Bis in das historische Stadtzentrum sind es nur ein paar Minuten, alles kann zu Fuss erreicht werden, ansonsten wäre aber auch eine U-Bahn-Station direkt nebenan.
Zu 5t hatten wir genug Platz, die Küche hatten wir aber zum morgendlichen Kaffeekochen gebraucht.
Very nice apartment, close to the old town and the metro station. Breakfast packages offered were varied. I recommend!
Bardzo miły apartament, blisko starego miasta i stacji metra. Oferowane pakiety śniadaniowe były urozmaicone. Polecam!
Very nice apartment located in an area well served by public transport. The staff was very helpful and welcoming.
Appartamento molto carino situato in una zona ben servita dai mezzi pubblici. Il personale è stato molto disponibile ed accogliente.
Bad service and rude staff in the cleaning. Disappointed because not even the heater worked in one of the rooms. A great pity.
Schlechtes Service und unhöfliches Personal in der Reinigung. Enttäuscht da nicht einmal die Heizung funktionierte in einem der Zimmer.
Sehr schade.
We were very pleased with the apartment. Bathroom and rooms were clean. Since the window of the apartment to go 35 in the courtyard, it was also very quiet. The view was not so great then. But we were out all day. The apartment is ideal.
Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit der Fewo. Bad und Zimmer waren sauber. Da die Fenster der Wohnung 35 in den Innenhof gehen, war es auch sehr ruhig. Der Ausblick war dann nicht so berauschend. Aber wir waren den ganzen Tag unterwegs. Die Wohnung liegt ideal.

We love Summer in Tucson because everything in general is calmer and more relaxed.
Less traffic ~ The absence of our winter tourists, who of course we love, quiets the byways of our town considerably.
No crowds to fight at our favorite restaurants ~ For the same reason. All businesses are happy to see customers during the summer months in Tucson. It's a perfect time to experience the many new eateries calling Downtown Tucson home.
Mount Lemmon ~ At 92,000 feet, the highest peak in the Catalina Mountains. The beginning of the Catalina Highway which takes you there is just a 15 minute drive from El Rancho Merlita. Hike in the tall cool pines. Enjoy lunch in the village of Summerhaven. Ride the lift at Ski Valley. Gaze at the stars from The University of Az's Sky Center.
The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum's Cool Summer Nights program.
The Ranch House front porch is the perfect place to watch the Monsoon storms roll in. The Monsoon is our summer rainy season. Typically it begins in early July and can last until mid-September, bringing the possibility of rain every day. The storms usually occur in the afternoons or early evening and are accompanied by plenty of wind, thunder and lightning. They move around the valley swiftly and don't last very long. Once a monsoon rain has fallen around you the air is cooled and refreshed.
Our salt water swimming pool temperature is PERFECT ~ 83 degrees.

Comentários sobre a acomodação
The appartament is fine, when i have got some issues with the wifi Rohan was responsive and helpful.
We stayed 3 days in the apartment. The location is good for exploring Brooklyn and the underground line 3 is easy to get to Manhattan.
The apartment is nice and well organized.
We spent more than a week in Rohan's appartment in Brooklyn and had a very good time. The little flat is very clean and cosy. It is pleasant to come back to this flat after spending the day in busy Manhattan. The bow window looks out on Brower Park, a little park where the neighboours go strolling, play soccer and basket ball and where there is a children's playground. Shops and metrostation are nearby (five minutes walking). The neighborhood by the shops looks a bit rough but we never felt unsafe. Rohan is the perfect landlord, helpful and discreet and very reliable. We were very satisfied and had a wonderful time exploring this great city.
We enjoyed our staying at this place. The apartment was clean and well equipped. Sometimes there were some problems with wifi. I will recommend this place to my friends.
Excellent apartment, clean, quiet and welcoming, plus it was great to have the green grass of the park on the other side of the road as an outlook. Accessible from several subway stops and easy journey to get to and from Manhatten. Rohan was easily accessible by phone to answer any questions in a professional and friendly manner. One suggestion would be to have a small quantity of coffee/tea, milk/sugar provided in the apartment for new arrivals.
My parents had a perfect stay in Rohan's flat! They loved the apartment and he was a great host!
superb apartment according to the description. Rohan was available very helpful and responsive. the neighborhood, the neighborhood is perfect. rent without hesitations. This is what I would do during a next trip if this place is available.
Rohan's apartment looks exactly like in the pictures. It was clean and comfy. The kitchen had everything you need for cooking, the bathroom was super clean and the shower was amazing.
A good and safe location because of the nearby CVS pharmacy and Fine Fares grocery store (2min away). 5min away is the Kingston Ave. subway station. The 3 train departing from there brings you to Manhattan's Times Square.
I only met Rohan once but he is very welcoming and polite.
Very pleasant stay at Rohans Place! Description of the room suits in every detail: clean, comfortable, nice combination of historic building and new furniture. Well equipped and appealing kitchen. Especially enjoyed the keyless entry to the house and the apartment which means you don't have to worry about carrying or losing a key when going outside. We definitively can recommend the pick-up service from the airport that Rohan offers. Lively neighbourhood with good subway connection, coffeestores, restaurants, supermarkets etc. all around. Next time when in NYC definitively stay at Rohan again, which is by the way a very kind person we would have loved to see more often!
We really enjoyed our stay at Rohan's apparment. It was very big and clean. The subway station is just a 5 min walk and you can get to Midtown Manhattan within 30 minutes. Rohan and his wife Danna are some very nice and gentle hosts. We had an awesome trip and I'd like to visit them again one time ;)

If ever there was a good time to start building mine it's now. I love the painting techniques you've used and will be following your lead. I won't be going down the L.E.D/Fibre optic route as my electronic skills blow in so many ways, but I can apply paint. :) Please post more pics and a rundown of what you did to what, as I find this kind of info invaluable when assembling a kit such as this.
Top notch work

Your attention to detail is astonishing, I also have just purchased my own FM Slave 1 and I was wondering if you were going to light the thrusters on the rear of the model as well and if you are how are you going to?
Great job I wish i can paint just like you, I paint GW models (WH40k), but you are far more better than me, especially with metal parts of models. Great and inspirational work!

In Dirty Wars, Jeremy Scahill, author of the New York Times best-seller Blackwater, takes us inside America's new covert wars. The foot soldiers in these battles operate daily across the globe and inside the United States with orders from the White House to do whatever is necessary to hunt down, capture, or kill individuals designated by the president as enemies of America.
Drawn from the ranks of the Navy SEALs, Delta Force, former Blackwater and other private security contractors, the CIA's Special Activities Division, and the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), these elite soldiers operate across the globe, with thousands of secret commandos working in more than one hundred countries. Funded through "black budgets," Special Operations Forces conduct missions in denied areas, engage in targeted assassinations, snatch and grab individuals, and direct drone, AC-130, and cruise missile
strikes. While the Bush administration deployed these ghost militias, Scahill explains how President Barack Obama has expanded their operations and given them new scope and legitimacy.
Dirty Wars follows the consequences of the declaration that "the world is a battlefield" as Scahill uncovers the most important foreign policy story of our time. From Afghanistan to Yemen, Somalia and beyond, Scahill reports from the frontlines of his high-stakes investigation and explores the depths of America's global killing machine.He goes beneath the surface of America's covert wars, conducted in the shadows, outside the range of the press, without
effective Congressional oversight or public awareness.
Jeremy Scahill is National Security Correspondent for The Nation magazine and author of the international bestseller "Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army." He has reported from Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, the former Yugoslavia and elsewhere across the globe. Scahill is a frequent guest on a wide array of programs, appearing regularly on The Rachel Maddow Show, Real Time with Bill Maher, and Democracy Now! He has also appeared on ABC World News, CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News, CNN, The NewsHour, and Bill Moyers Journal. Scahill's work has sparked several Congressional investigations and won some of journalism's highest honors. He was twice awarded the prestigious George Polk Award, in 1998 for foreign reporting and in 2008 for "Blackwater." Scahill is a producer and writer of the film "Dirty Wars," which premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. His most recent book is "Dirty Wars: The World Is a Battlefield" (2013).

Ban stupid people (and reporters) - not dogs!
Original post made by Samantha, Palo Alto Hills, on Sep 11, 2007
The Fremont "pit bull" is an American Bulldog, just like the Iowa attack at the Labor Day parade (also reported as a pit bull the first day) is an American Bulldog.
Troubled dogs come in all shapes, sizes and breeds - and all of them were showing warning signs before an attack. The dog in Fremont had a history of issues and is the exact same kind of dog in all dog attacks - a poorly managed and owned dog with a crappy temperament.
If Diana Diamond and others are truly concerned about protecting the citizens of Palo Alto, the solutions are really simple:
1) Enforce the leash law
2) Enforce non-breed-specific Dangerous Dog legislation
3) Proactive spay/neuter programs, especially in low-income areas
Then again, the Diana Diamonds of the world aren't interested in real solutions, because solutions aren't newsworthy.
It's a shame.

Just get rid of anything that even looks like a pit bull.
Then severely fine any dog owner who does not have control of his/her dog. Absolutely nothing off leash.
If that doesn't work, just get rid of all dogs in cities.
Quit listening to the dog lovers and dog breeders.
No parent should need to worry about the dog next door or the dog on the street or the dog in the park. Same for non-parents.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood

Yes and when the dogs are banned, the parents can worry about the homeless, the paedophiles, the drug dealers, the gang members, the bad drivers, and so on and so forth.
There is no way that all the bad can be kept away from our lives. Instead, we should teach our kids to recognise good from bad, how to deal with bad, and when in doubt, be suspicious of all dogs, strangers, cars, and the like.

how do you teach a two-year-old not to slap a pit bull - especially if the kid has never seen one. Ever watch kids around dogs? You have to be kidding!

"how do you teach a two-year-old not to slap a pit bull - especially if the kid has never seen one. Ever watch kids around dogs? You have to be kidding!"
Actually I watch my kids around my dogs all the time. That's why I am able to intervene if the dogs show any sign that they don't like what the kids are doing. Not that I have ever had to, they love the kids and have a very high tolerance for rough play. And yes, my dogs are pit bulls.
How do you teach a two year old to cross the street safely? How do you teach a two year old to stay away from a hot stove? You don't! You watch your freaking kids! This goes for ANY breed of dog, yorkies have killed children too. Whatever happened to people taking responsibility? Guess that's unamerican, let's blame the dog. After all, the media says they are vicious so it must be true! Those people are never wrong, and they would never stoop to printing exagerrated sensational headlines with distorted "facts" just to sell their papers. Give me (and my dogs) a break.

I couldn't agree with you more... This reporter seems to make speculations as FACTS. Its people like her than make people that RESPONSIBLY own their dogs of all breeds dangerous. Because look at all the people that jumped on the bandwagon to ban the breed when they don't know all of the facts?
PEOPLE-BREATHE!! Its fear that makes you ignorant!!! There is no such thing as bad dogs- its bad owners- IF you don't raise a dog properly you get a aggressive bad dog- Just like if you don't raise your child to have manners- you have a rude child that becomes a nuisance to the world.
Do you know what breed of dog is most likely to bite? Its a LABRADOR RETRIEVER!! Do your research- talk to breeders, talk to people that responsibly own American Bulldogs, Pit bulls, and mixes... You are making people afraid because of ignorance.
I am pretty sure the little nipper dogs- that are cherished beloved lapdogs, have biting issues- just ask any mail carrier...
I am amazed at how a reporter can lead the pack to ignorance... when she doesn't even report the dog breed correctly.

Do you know why Ms. Diamond's name is at the top of her pieces? It's called a by-line for a reason. She expresses her opinions, and has every right to do so. Now, you have every right not to agree, but you do not have the right to say that someone elses opinion is "wrong". Opinion is opinion, not right or wrong.

You're right Amy, Ms. Diamond has every right to express her opinion, but she DOES NOT have the right to report on stories with fabricated and inaccurate facts which only lead to more hysteria and bigotry. She is just making matters worse.

Actually, she does have the "right". It is called "free speech", and is used in the fuzzy and distorted way to "report news" all the time..just pick up any SF Chron, NY Times, SJ Merc..need I go on?

Fulldin Butt (Pronounced Full-Din- Butt) Is a butt, normally a female's butt, where the lower-half sticks out, then folds back up unto the waist. Much in the way a beer belly hangs over the front of a pair of pants. Examples include: Jessica Alba, Jamie Pressly, and Roselyn Sanchez. Not to be confused with a Bubble-Butt, which is just round and sticks out like a bubble. Or a Flat-Butt, which just extends out slightly, but does not fold underneath.
I saw this really skinny chick with a Fulldin Butt. I couldn't believe someone so small could have such a thick ass!

The two Djan'kawu Sisters came from the east; they changed their language when they got to Dhämala. They named the people and the places and became part of the tribe. This is Milminydjarrk where the waterhole is. This area is called Dhämala at the mouth of the Glyde River. Malangi, 1996
The Mirrmirrngur Milminydjarrk design, a tiny but important waterhole created by the Djan'kawu is depicted as a central roundel from which bands radiate to the edges and corners of the picture, where smaller roundels or squares are placed. The radiating motif signals a number of associations including the rays of the sun which the Djan'kawu took with them on their travels, and traces the tracks between creation sites.
Malangi's paintings of Milminydjarrk are based on this Djan'kawu template and are site-specific. Milminydjarrk is the name given to this particular waterhole but is also a generic name given to a freshwater spring.
Surrounding it at Dhämala and in its representations are smaller waterholes connected by a subterranean channel system of linked waterways. The yellow crosshatching in the negative spaces in this case represents water run-off across these vast mud plains, and the ebb and flow of seasonal rains and river tides. Conversely, it lends a visual reference to the cycles of nature and the woven fibres of the birthing mat which brings forth life.
In Yolngu cosmology, the clan waterhole is the spiritual reservoir where the souls of the unborn reside and where upon death the souls of the deceased return 'home'. The established template for expressing Milminydjarrk bears a relationship to the ceremonial aspect of the Manharrngu in the form of a body design in ceremony, and the basis for a sand sculpture used in smoking or cleansing rituals.

Head of Microsoft's Windows division Steven Sinofsky has tendered his resignation and is leaving the company effective immediately. Julie Larson-Green will be promoted to lead all Windows software and hardware engineering. No reason has been given at this time for Sinofsky's departure.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer says of Sinofsky, ""I am grateful for the many years of work that Steven has contributed to the company. The products and services we have delivered to the market in the past few months mark the launch of a new era at Microsoft. We've built an incredible foundation with new releases of Microsoft Office, Windows 8, Windows Phone 8, Microsoft Surface, Windows Server 2012 and 'Halo 4,' and great integration of services such as Bing, Skype and Xbox across all our products. To continue this success it is imperative that we continue to drive alignment across all Microsoft teams, and have more integrated and rapid development cycles for our offerings."
Sinofsky himself was equally as gracious in saying, ""It is impossible to count the blessings I have received over my years at Microsoft. I am humbled by the professionalism and generosity of everyone I have had the good fortune to work with at this awesome company."
One cannot help but wonder what kind, of any impact this sudden change will have on the
success and development of Microsoft's new line of Windows 8 products, as Steven Sinofky was just as much the public face of the project as he was the driving force behind it.

No, the IURC does not provide financial assistance to customers, nor do we oversee the implementation of such programs. Utility companies and other state agencies, however, may be able to offer assistance to Hoosiers in need.
There are many organizations, agencies and charities willing to assist Hoosiers during their time of need. However, before contacting these entities, consumers should contact their utility companies and explain their situation. Many times utilities will work with customers to set up payment arrangements so that customers can pay their bills on time and avoid disconnection.
If you are still having trouble making a full payment, it is important to note how much you can contribute toward your utility bills and convey that amount to the organizations or agencies you contact for assistance.
Agencies and programs offering financial assistance:
Winter moratorium is a period of time each year from December 1 through March 15 in which individuals, who have applied for benefits through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), may not have their heat source disconnected. However, it is important to note that the customer is still responsible for charges incurred during this time.
To apply for energy assistance in Indiana, please contact a Community Action Agency (CAA) near you. The CAAs are designated by federal regulation and under contract with the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority to serve as the local agencies responsible for administering the Energy Assistance Program.

Perfect location for a turist in London.
The apartment was as describe in the add.
Clean, quiet and comfortable.
We had a great stay in this apartment. We came early in the morning and they let us check in immediately. It was spacious and had a great location. We were in London to shop, and with a five minutes walk you were in Oxford street. The kitchen is well equipped and with two bathrooms an a spacious living room, it was the ideal place for a family of four or a group of friends.There is a grocery store next door, and a lot of restaurants in the same street as the apartment. We will definitely be back.
We had a very good staying. The flat is near tube Baker Street with 4 lines; it is very near Madame Toussad's Museum and Regents Park. The flat is like you see in photos. We are a family with 2 children 11 and 8 years old and we stayed perfect! Jo has been very kind. We had a little problem with bathroom's tiles but she solved it quickly with any inconvenience for us.
I suggest this flat to people that want to stay in London near center town but not too close noisy sites.
Excellent location, near the city centre and with convenient connections of the underground. The apartment was nice and bright, comfy and clean. Perfect for our short stay in London. Thanks John!
We had a great stay!
Everything was described like. A supermarket immediately next door, near to the bus / Tube - but you can well also reach everything on foot. A few pubs around the corner. A really good starting point for a short trip to visit London! The street is strongly driven on up to the evening. But at night it´s quit and we have well slept.
Many, many thanks to John and Joanna for the great time!!!
We spent 3 nights at John's apartment. We were 4 adults and 2 children. The apartment is in a very good position, very near to Warren underground station (200 metres) and there are all shops you can need very near. Also restaurants and pubs around. Inside the apartment is no bad, with 2 small rooms (1 very very small), a dinner room with a sofà bed, a kitchen and bathrooms (1 very small, 1 normal). It was clean. There were in our opinion 2 big problems: the apartment is very very noisy. There are some industrial equipments working night and day and it was not possibile sleep. It is also very hot, so in order to listen less noisy you should close windows but it is not possibile. John gave us a fan, but it couldn't help. Unfortunately I can not suggest this apartment (also note that the building it is in is very ugly).
A perfect apartment for a London visit. Just 5 minutes to walk to the Marlyebone Bakerloo line station. Tesco Express (open until 11 pm) just round the corner. The apartment is in a house with only 2 flats at all which means it is a safe place without many people rushing in and out. One definitely has a feeling of intimacy. But the best feature is the continental water pressure in the shower! Really recommendable.
Hi everyone:
We had a fantastic trip.
John waited until we got at his appartment.
I recommend his house.
The twon is well. The house is near to Marylebone Station (5 minutes walking), near to the supermarket (24 hours Open)
The appartment is comfortable. It has a lot of details. We were a family, four members. It was perfect!
Congratulations John! All explanations are true.
Nuria Arnau
Very nice, central and quiet apartment on the ground floor, great kitchen, cozy living room with large dining table - pleasant atmosphere. Something was difficult to open the window, but in the end still managed.
Only the sink-drain in the bathroom with shower should work better. We'll be back!
Sehr schöne, zentral und doch ruhig gelegene Wohnung im Erdgeschoss, toll eingerichtete Küche, gemütlicher Wohnraum mit großem Esstisch - angenehme Atmosphäre. Etwas schwierig war das Öffnen der Fenster, letztendlich aber doch geschafft.
Nur der Waschbecken-Abfluss im Bad mit Dusche sollte besser funktionieren. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder!
