District will not act on new levy authority
Though districts across the state were recently granted the authority to raise their per average pupil unit (APU) funding up to $300 without public vote, the Pequot Lakes School District will make no change to its current $1 per APU levy.
The school board made the decision not to change its per APU funding at its regular meeting Monday, Aug. 19, following the recommendation of superintendent Chris Lindholm.
"I cannot in good faith ask district residents to increase their property tax commitment to the district without a justified and well-articulated strategic plan that clearly explains the results they can expect in return," Lindholm stated in a memo to the board. "The recent support of our community to fund a three-year facilities improvement effort through a bond referendum only augments our need to be clear about how we justify any increase in property tax revenues."
The board agreed with Lindholm and voted against increasing that levy unanimously.
As background, Lindholm told the board that $300 per APU would have increased the district's funding by $788,000. It would have cost taxpayers an estimated $68 for a household valued at $200,000. Lindholm explained that some of the money would have come from homestead and commercial property and some would have come from state grants.
The legislation passed last June gives school boards the authority to raise the levy for the next five years, so it's possible the board could revisit the matter in the coming years, unless legislation changes. Though the board does not have a strategic plan at this time, it has work sessions planned in the coming months in order to develop a strategic plan.
"I'm a huge advocate for doing better for kids, and revenue's going to help us do that, so I do foresee us wrestling with this question a year from now, two years from now," Lindholm said.

@dorispulaski I agree, I was puzzled at first however that is a good point, maybe it was just to calm Tessa. Or maybe it was just simply to entertain the audience and add more to the performance of it all by adding more character? It definitely made an interesting addition, that's for sure!
@bramweld Haha yes it was him, I was confused at first too!

Department of Performing Arts
The Liberal Arts
Emerson knows you have a variety of interests—interests that can cut across traditional department lines and disciplines. The liberal arts courses you will take as a general education foundation will provide you with broad exposure to the fields of politics, history, philosophy, science, literature, and the arts.
General Education Requirements
Liberal arts courses are taught in every academic department on campus. Emerson's General Education curriculum includes coursework from three areas:
- Foundations: includes oral and written communication, and quantitative reasoning
- Perspectives: students must complete one course from each of the following perspectives: Aesthetic, Ethics and Values, Historical, Interdisciplinary, Literary, Scientific, and Social and Psychological
- U.S. and Global Diversity: includes two diversity courses and two courses of a single foreign language
First-Year Seminars
No matter which academic program you pursue at Emerson, you will find the First-Year Institute Seminars to be a rich and exciting introduction to academic life. Class sizes are small, and the curriculum emphasizes topics, assignments, and instructional approaches that address the academic demands of your first year.
A Sample of Past Seminar Topics:
- Behind the Headlines: The Culture of International News
- Jewish Origins of Punk Rock
- Comic Books in American Culture
- Literature of Extreme Situations
- Life and Death: Science and Psychology of Survival
The Honors Program
The Emerson College Honors Program is a four-year, interdisciplinary program consisting of intensive liberal arts honors seminars, collaborative research projects, and faculty-directed independent study.
Consider applying to Emerson's Honors Program if you're a highly motivated, academically gifted student. High school students should apply in the fall of their senior year.

Conservatively Speaking
State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend, the town of Vernon and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.
John Doe and Political Speech Court Action
Last was an active week in federal court for the John Doe probe, with advocates for First Amendment Free Speech achieving a victory. Judge Randa issued a decision ordering a stop to the John Doe investigation. The investigation included armed nighttime raids of politically active citizen's homes. Judge Randa determined the laws are in violation of the First Amendment Freedom of Speech and are unconstitutional. Judge Randa writes "[M]aximizing First Amendment freedom is a better way to deal with political corruption than allowing the seemingly corruptible to do so. As other histories tell us, attempts to purify the public square lead to places like the Guillotine and the Gulag."
Wednesday, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals stayed Judge Randa's preliminary injunction. Thursday, Judge Randa issued an order determining that the pending appeal is frivolous and reinstated the injunction. Despite the victory for free speech proponents, the litigation is likely to continue to work its way through the courts. I highly recommend reading Judge Randa's decision.

Re: Jamie's Italy dvd
Hi Phoebe,
It's not available to buy in the UK, BUT I discovered that you can buy it from German Amazon, and it works in the UK because it's the same region. It also has the original English language on it. This is the link
http://www.amazon.de/Jamie-Oliver-Genia … amp;sr=1-1
If you're not confident about ordering in German, copy and paste the link into a translation website like this:
http://translate.google.com/translate?p … ry_state0=
I've odered from German Amazon before, and the delivery was not too expensive and quite fast.
Hope this helps!

This is my first year to harvest my honey and I need help. I want it to be raw unprocessed (like what I now buy as raw honey from the farmers market)so what do I need to do this without spending a lot of money. I only have one hive. I'm looking at a setup in Brushy Mountain Bee Farm catalog for $49.95. It's in the bottling and filtering section and it's a 5-gallon bucket (2 buckets) and bottler system? What do you think of this. Would I need anything more? Do I have to have an extractor? If I use an extractor can I reuse the wax in the hive?
Any info you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Besides Corey Webster we have seen a number of corners starting on the opposite side. Since you became a fan of big blue, what starting duo has been your favorite. Skills or production doesn't really matter, just your personal favorite.
For me it's the duo of Will Allen and William Peterson.
Although Allen was a bit undersized he was a speed demon, something we haven't had since he left. Peterson reminds me of T2, he always seemed to come up with the big play late in games for blue. These young kids came to us in the same year and earned starting roles early, they changed the culture for us at CB with their athletic ability and high motors. Unfortunately for Peterson his career was cut short due to injury and Allen began to get exposed in zone coverage a few years into his career.
Who's your favorite cornerback duo?

TC drives things home and instills it into the players so much that they eventually become numb to it. The players have said as much. but at the end of it all if key guys are healthy, all the preparation that Coughlin has drilled into their brains benefits them more than any team in the league and the Giants become unbeatable. If it didn't work, he'd be fired 6 years ago.
lol that's what being a fan is all about: whining about stuff.
Believe me, I'm hoping and praying we make the playoffs next season. but I'll take these last few roller-coaster ride years because bottom line, we got it done.
How has that been exactly what San Francisco did this year? They lost a very close SuperBowl. Their fans shouldnt feel like trash. I know I didnt feel like trash when we lost to Baltimore Ravens in SuperBowl XXXV.
NE Patriots made it to SuperBowl XLVI and they made it to AFC Championship Game this year. To state that they are slipping or failures or that Tom Brady should soon retire is an assinine statement. Granted, we all love Eli Manning but all this hoopla about him being better than Tom Brady is nonsense. As far as the clutch factor goes, some of you may have forgotten but Tom Brady still has more SuperBowl wins than any other active QB in NFL right now and he is still playing the position better than anyone in the game right now. Why should he retire?
I have no clue what window folks are talking about in regard to San Francisco 49ers because they are a young team with a young QB that looks like he may just be an exact clone of Steve Young, only with tattoos. That team will be competittive for awhile. NE Patriots are a reatively young team too. Granted, Tom Brady is 36 but they have a young defense that will get better and they have a lot of young starters on offense. They will be competittive for the next 5-6 years.


text: Hi Everyone! I'm a homeschool mom from DFW and I'm sort of new to this site. Actually I found you a while ago when my poor 1995 Suburban had an issue that no mechanic could seem to get a handle on... I did some research here, got a friendly mechanic (because most of them quit listening when I said that I had been looking on the internet!), took a leap and replaced the torque converter clutch! Magic! (I may be a girl but I'm not stupid!) The mechanic told my husband (not me, of course) that he just might send his hard to diagnose things to me....so actually it was all of you. Well done and thanks! Now I have another wierd one - but I think (thanks to all of you) that I may have the answer. We're going to try replacing the ECT sensor and see if that fixes it. I'll let you know. Anyway...love my truck. Hopefully I can keep it going awhile longer! It's perfect for kids and field trips and treks out to the ranch where we volunteer and ride and even hauls the lawnmower that I use to barter for piano lessons! Maybe if we can solve the mechanical issues she's having I can address some of the other more cosmetic issues (what is the deal with the passenger side paint job on all of these? Mine is peeling - and so is 90 percent of the same models on the road!). Thanks again!

How tall is Mt. Everest, the world's tallest mountain? That's what Nepal and China—the two Asian nations that Everest straddles—want to know. Nepal says the mountain is 29,028 feet (8,448 meters) high. China says that number is wrong. The Chinese claim Nepal's figure is about 13 feet (4 meters) too high. (Meanwhile, some climbers think Nepal's estimate is too low!)
In order to settle the argument, Nepal plans to take a new measurement of Mount Everest. Everest has been measured several times since it was first sized up in 1856. But this one may be the most scientific of all.
"We have begun the measurement to clear the confusion. Now we have the technology and the resources, we can measure ourselves," said Gopal Giri, a spokesman for Nepal's Land Reforms Ministry. "This will be the first time the Nepal government has taken the mountain's height."
Nepalese officials will set up three reference points on the mountain and use global-positioning satellites to calculate the exact height. This process could take up to two years.
A Mountain of Facts
• In 1953, New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa from Nepal, were the first to conquer Mount Everest. Since then, more than 3,000 others have made the climb.
• Mount Everest has an extreme climate. The summit temperature never rises above freezing.
• Mount Everest was formed about 60 million years ago by moving tectonic plates.
• The mountain is named after Sir George Everest, a British surveyor in the mid-nineteenth century.
• Everest is part of the Himalayas, which includes all five of the world's highest mountains.
• The Nepalese name for the mountain is "Sagarmatha," which means "goddess of the sky."
• The youngest person to reach the peak of Mount Everest is Jordan Romero who was 13 years old when he made the climb in 2010.
• The mountain is covered with litter that was left behind by climbers. Efforts are being made to clean it up.

Local whole foods is selling local honey for $6.49/lb. However it appears to be a dark amber color which makes me think its from late last summer. How do folks sell at $10/lb when stores sell a local product at $6.49? It's fresher???
Local whole foods is selling local honey for $6.49/lb. However it appears to be a dark amber color which makes me think its from late last summer. How do folks sell at $10/lb when stores sell a local product at $6.49? It's fresher???
I sold my Honey last year at $10. a half pint, not even close to a pound. I sold out quickly.
Why would people pay me more then what is in the Stores? Well 1) Mine is diffidently local and fresh. 2) People are becoming more and more conscious of big stores selling Imported items.
3) People like to help real local people.
Got Honey? my Facebook group
Color, used to be, typical of whatever the bees were gathering
now - it could be from almost anything- from overheated honey during processing, heavy pollen in honey, to food coloring - for example.
besides, as mentioned - 'local' really isn't 'local' anymore unless you know the people or actually where their apiary is. It's just like 'organic' - what's really organic anymore.
As far as the pricing - i always pay more if i know its local because i actually know the pollen gathered and converted into honey is from my area (which helps alergies) and i always support local people over box stores any day ..
This was local local ie within 30min drive. But it looked old? Maybe it was their packaging?
I sell my honey only locally and for $10 per pound. If they don't want to pay $10 per pound, then they won't get my sweet goodness.
I sell at$10.oo/lb. The thing is when I'm selling the customer can talk directly to me (the person keeping the bees) That is a definite advantage over the stores because the customer can ask questions and get an informed answer about how the honey is produced. Go in the store and ask the clerk about what was in bloom when this honey was made or ask them to explain something about bees you can bet they won't get much of an answer if any at all. Many customers spend several minutes to an hour just asking questions about bees and beekeeping in general when they talk to me. it's all in how you present yourself and your product. If you convey your product as a high quality product then that's how the customer will perceive it.
"Of all God's creatures, only the honeybee improves its environment and preys on no other species."--Haydon Brown
10.00 a pound and I thought I was doing good at 5.00 per pound. I can't keep up with demand. It appears I need to raise my prices. Most people when they find out I have local honey only ask the price to see if they have enough in their pockets for a jar. I have only had one person question the price in the past five years.
All I need is to get them to taste my honey. They gladly pay more than the store. Also it's treatment free, so there are no acaracides or antibiotics or corn syrup added...
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
I agree with everything everyone has said here. When I first got into keeping our mentor had instructed us not to under sell our honey, to treat it as better than store bought. I have to agree with that sentiment. I think of it this way, I know where my honey comes from, I know whats in it and more importantly whats NOT in it. I will not sell my honey for less than $10/lb. If they wont pay that price, they are more than welcome to buy all the Chinese honey they want, or any other foreign honey/agriculture product laden with chemicals that are banned for use in the USA.
On a side note I am wanting to create a small label for all our bottles that has some little known facts about honey to help educate people about honey and to educate them about all the fake honey out there. I thought I was pretty good about buying American produce since I am already in agriculture aside from bee keeping. Then I got into bee keeping and never thought there was such a thing as fake honey, WOW, I got educated to it and now I try to educate people I talk to about fake honey vs real honey. Some people still love their $2 Walmart honey, heck I was one of them 2 years ago, never again.
I'm getting 5.00 for half pints /8.50 for pint/15.00 QT. and my honey is so good just melts in your mouth of sweet greatness.
I own a restaurant {20 years}and I keep bee yard picks and queen picks under glass on my counter top where you come up and pay and the last 4 years my customers have been waiting for my honey and now it glass on the counter buy the bee picks plus you have me always ready to talk bee's I am so addicted .
Say hello to the bad guy!

Asheville official mulls banning gun shows
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) - A member of Asheville's city council is proposing a ban on holding gun shows at publicly owned buildings.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reports (http://avlne.ws/UF7GoX) that Councilman Cecil Bothwell said Tuesday he's interested in the idea in the wake of a shooting that killed 26 people, including 20 children, at a Connecticut school.
Asheville already has an ordinance prohibiting the possession of firearms on city-owned property. But gun shows have regularly been held at a city-owned agricultural center and U.S. Cellular Center downtown. One is scheduled at the agricultural center this coming weekend.
Bothwell says the law is clear and that the city should do whatever it can to stem gun violence.

City council challenges Mayor Bach's power
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs City Council is preparing to vote on an ordinance that would challenge Mayor Steve Bach's power over the 2014 budget.
According to councilman Don Knight, who drafted several versions of the ordinance, the council wants to hold the mayor accountable to how he says he will spend the money. In the past, Knight says, it hasn't always been that way.
"Case in point was the bonus given last year to the city attorney," Knight said. Last year, City Attorney Chris Melcher and Bach's Chief of Staff Laura Neumann were each given $25,000 bonuses. Those bonuses were not expressly stated in the 2013 budget and were not approved by City Council.
"We're not meeting what the citizens expect us to do," said councilman Joel Miller. "We're writing a blank check."
The ordinance Knight proposed would essentially make it so that Bach could not move money from one department to another without council's approval.
At Wednesday's budget work session, Neumann said that Bach cannot support the ordinances as they are written. She asked that the proposals be consolidated to one ordinance for Bach's review.
Councilman Merv Bennett said he could not approve something that has not been approved by legislative counsel. The ordinances will now be reviewed and revised by the City Attorney's Office.
Miller argued that council members should still share their individual views. "I would like us to give direction as to what council wants to do, as opposed to what our lawyers tell us what they think we can do," he said.
Councilwoman Helen Collins expressed frustration that decisions are not being made sooner. "All you council members had time to comment, but you wait until a public, informal work session to make your comments," she said.
City Council will address the ordinance again on Monday. A vote is expected on Tuesday. Knight told KRDO NewsChannel 13 that he hopes an agreement is made by then.
"Whatever we do, we have to make sure we do it right, but we have to do it different from what we've done in the past," Knight said.

Published Abstracts from Research Projects
Fate of Male White-tailed Deer in Four Georgia Counties with Antler Restriction Regulations
By: Mike VanBrackle and J. Scott McDonald
In 1993 Dooly County, Georgia became the first in the nation to have a county-wide antler restriction regulation for hunting white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Cooperative research by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GADNR) and the University of Georgia found the regulation socially successful, but biological information was limited to voluntarily-reported, hunter-harvested deer. Other counties began requesting similar antler restrictions despite unanswered biological questions. Beginning in 1998 GADNR captured and radio-collared 135 bucks in two separate study areas under antler restriction regulations to investigate survival and mortality causes and distribution. Sixty-three (63) deer were collared in Dooly and Macon counties in the upper coastal plain where bucks must have a 15 inch minimum outside spread to be eligible for harvest. Seventy-two (72) deer were collared in Harris and Meriwether counties in the western piedmont where bucks must have at least 4 points on one side to be harvested legally. Deer were monitored at least once weekly September - January and bi-weekly February - August until death. Mortalities were categorized as legal harvest, illegal harvest, or non-harvest. Fifty-six (56) percent of deer captured as yearlings (1.5-years-old) in Dooly-Macon and 47% in Harris-Meriwether survived to 2.5 years-old. Through 1 November 2002 at least 26% and 22% of yearlings had survived to 3.5+ years-old in Dooly-Macon and Harris-Meriwether, respectively. We continue to monitor surviving deer. Up to date frequency distributions of legal harvest versus percentages of animals "lost" to illegal harvest, non-harvest factors, as well as emigration from the county will be discussed.

Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a medium pot. Stir in barley. Cover and reduce heat; simmer 10 to 12 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, place kidney beans, bell pepper, zucchini, almonds and scallions in a large salad bowl.
Transfer cooked barley to colander and rinse with cold water (both to cool it down and keep it from getting sticky). Transfer cooled, drained barley to salad bowl. Add oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste; toss and serve.
*To roast slivered, chopped or sliced almonds: Spread in an ungreased baking pan. Place in 350ºF oven and bake 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant; stir once or twice to assure even browning. Note that almonds will continue to roast slightly after removing from oven.

Hello my friends hope all is well with you. I am recently single again and just looking for friends and to see where it leads. I wish you all good luck in your endeavors. I cherish the friends i have here and will keep in contact as much as possible. Hugs to all.
So a little bit about me. I tend to be silly, sarcastic, sometimes sharp witted and maybe a little dry. (I will apologize ahead of time for any horrible puns I may use) I have gotten more and more into wine these last few years. I have been expanding my palate as well as visiting wine festivals and sampling different areas.
I am a country city hybrid if such a thing exists. I enjoy the laid back atmosphere of the country / suburbs, getting to know your neighbors, flea markets, and appreciate the hard work that goes into handmade/homemade items. Then on the flip side I'm kind of a foodie, can traverse NYC and Philly like a local, and enjoy the faster paced city life at times as well as the diversity of the night life. I enjoy theatre, jazz music and classic movies. Would love to take salsa, swing, tango classes. Go to the opera. I also DJ at bars and night clubs playing top 40, hip hop, rock... Then at the same time enjoy sitting at home or going around the corner and shooting some pool or throwing some darts.
I am highly dichotomous. I also have a tendency to ramble. So on that note I will bid you adieu for the evening. I look forward to hearing from you.

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Victoria is talking to Nikki and Victor about getting custody of her son Reed. Victoria looks fashionable in a dress with cutouts on the sleeves.
Victoria is wearing a dress similar to the Gucci Cutout Short-Sleeve Dress that is sold on Neiman Marcus in grey for $1450.00 and Saks in black for $1895.00. Obviously, a dress like this would be an investment but seeing as how it can transition easily from day to night and comes in neutral colors, it would be a good buy and would guarantee a stylish ensemble.

Two story, 4 frame doubles wintering on stands.
MP: i am fascinated by the thought of overwintering in nucs. i am in upstate ny but right on the pa border. i just made up a few mating nucs out of 10 frame medium boxes..spilt into 4 sections though i'm finding that i don't like the 2 frame set up so i am using 4 frames each side. anyway, how would i make this a 2 story set up for overwintering? i cut the grooves into the box and have luan panels that stick up from the top for the separate tops. i'm just having a hard time envisioning how to make this 2 story. do you have any pics you could share so i can see your set up? i sure would appreciate it. thanks!

In this photo you can see the lime green shim on one side which brought the top box up over the level of that little bit of divider sticking out. I have found the shim was totally unnecessary. Now that I look at this photo, above the shim is actually the cover to the bottom nuc on that side and the top box is an entirely separate nuc. You get the idea hopefully...
My comfort level in having a divided box is low. Overwinter I made 18 individual 5 frame boxes. At the time of writing I have a group of 4 and a group of 5 double story nucs. We are just about to go into Goldenrod bloom. When I come back from vacation in two weeks I plan to weigh them, and feed to a wintering weight. When the weather gets cold, probably around Thanksgiving I plan to push the group of four together and the group of five together and insulate them.
Some have upper entrances some have lower entrances. I may leave it that way and see what happens. Kirk Webster, another nuc. proponent has a website with links to his writings; He says that the upper ventilations keeps the dead-outs dryer and the combs in better condition, but stops short of saying that upper ventilation increases winter survival.
Working with nucs this summer has been fascinating. I am hopeful that with luck some will survive until spring. Last year I had one side of a divided nuc survive overwinter despite the bitter cold. If I am lucky enough to have half of these survive I will have enough bees not to have to buy packages in the spring.
thank you for posting pictures!
I think an upper entrance is critical and increases winter survival. Not sure if Kirk has mentioned the icicles hanging out the bottom entrance in nucs without upper entrances but I know we both had that issue. Way too wet inside the nuc with no upper. My photo doesn't show the auger hole I use...these nucs don't have one yet. I drill a 3/4" auger hole just above the hand hold and below the ears on the top bars. No more moisture problem.
i found these links last night. the second link has a video presentation given by MP about overwintering nucs. enjoy!
i sort of overwintered a nuc last yr. i had a great little swarm from July that was building like crazy and then it went through a torrential downpour we had and mostly all the bees drowned.(i found out then how having an upper and lower entrance was a must!) anyway, my hubby and i had built an ob hive that summer so i put them in there with 3 combs of honey and 1 brood and the other mostly empty. they did great over the winter and didn't really want any sugar water. it was great seeing what they were doing all the time too!
Mike, Kirk mentioned the icicles. He wrote that it was disconcerting, but didn't affect survival - it only affected the quality of combs on nucs that died out. Your advice has served me well in the past, so I think I'm going to drill me a few holes.
With the two story nucs do you have a goal weight going in to winter? How do you gauge that the two story has enough stores?
and Part 2
A shout out also needs to go our video volunteer extraordinaire Paul Oman of the Prince William Regional Beekeepers Association for taping this in high definition and superimposing the slides to make it easier for all to see.
Thanks for taking the time to post all the great info.
I am in upstate NY catskill mountains, is it to late to start Nucs to over winter
I have a couple of weaker hives that I could split
Thanks Rick
I was on the website and nothing played on the video when I clicked one to play. Is there something I need to download?
I think it's too late to make nucs in the Catskills.
I'm going to be overwintering some nuc's also this year. I also have 2 hives that aren't out of 1 deep yet. Do you think that it's better to go vertical or to leave them in the deep? Is it better to winter a nuc in a stack, or to leave them in a full 10 frame deep? What's the benefit on both sides?
I might have got lucky , but I overwintered a hive in a 5 Frame single story styrofoam nuc box last winter and it was one of my best hives this year
One hive was a swarm from late june. I fed for a while and then stopped for fear of them being fed too much. They have built up well, but aren't out of a deep.
The other hive was a cut-out that I did where the queen didn't make it. I requeened w/ a queen from Ga. by the end of April. The original bees from the cut-out were old and it took a bit to get them going again, but I think now they're doing well it's just that initial set back put them back a bit. This hive has just about filled the deep and I put a nuc box on top of them to give them room to continue to build in the last month or so and during the fall flow. I guess I'll just have to see how things go. Is there anything specific that you'd do in these situations?

I just watched the second part of Mike's Vimeo presentation. My question is about the upper entrance, I drilled the 3/4 inch holes; Does it have to be on the opposite side to the bottom entrance? Mine are on the same side at the moment, and the top entrance is closed because I'm feeding. Do I need to reverse the top box 180 degrees, or is it OK to keep the entrances on the same side? I wasn't going to open the top entrance until I'm done feeding. Conceptually, I struggle with ventilation versus draught.

Designing products with the environment in mindWe consider the environment at every stage of the product lifecycle starting with how a product is designed. Instead of one eco-friendly product, we consider the following when designing all of our products.
|Smarter material choices
We are committed to making smarter choices about the materials that go into our products by using environmentally preferable materials and avoiding those that are not.
We hold ourselves to the world's toughest environmental standards such as Europe's RoHS and REACH. And we go beyond these standards with our chemical use policy by reducing or eliminating other substances even if they are not restricted.
|We also use recycled-content plastics in many of our products, helping close the recycling loop.
For example, in FY16, we used more than 14.1 million pounds of post-consumer recycled plastics in our products for a cumulative total of 36.2 million pounds used since the start of FY14. Learn More
To lower your power bills and our collective carbon footprint, Dell's engineers are focused on making our products as energy efficient as possible.
Dell products use less and less power with each generation saving you an additional 25 percent or more in desktop- and notebook-related energy costs since 2008, and Dell servers are warrantied to run for extended periods at up to 113°F/45°C, allowing for an extensive geographic range of potential chillerless operation. Learn More
|End of life and reuse
We make upgrading your technology easy to make your life easier. This also means products can last longer benefiting you and our planet.
|We also design for recyclability, so that when your products finally reach the end of their life, it's easy for our recycling partners to disassemble and process.
To do this, we collaborate with those same partners to determine which design features are best for recyclability. This takes into consideration easy disassembly, minimal glues and adhesives, restrictions on paints and coatings, and labeling recyclable materials so our environmental partners can identify and put them toward the best possible reuse.
For example, the exterior of our XPS 13 Ultrabook™ uses polymer-reinforced carbon fibers, which make the computer lightweight and cool to the touch. But that material had to also conform to EPEAT®'s criteria for recyclability, ensuring our recycling partners could return the material to usefulness. Learn More
|Environmental standards
We find ourselves surrounded by products claiming to green, but how do we know for sure? When searching for technology that meets today's environmental standards, look for reputable third-party eco-labels of ENERGY STAR, EPEAT and the 80 PLUS Program.
Dell has a long commitment to these eco-labels. We stood with the U.S. EPA to launch their energy-efficiency mark known as ENERGY STAR and many of our products are registered across multiple countries for EPEAT — the highest bar for sustainably made electronics. Dell is also the first in the industry to offer an 80 PLUS® Gold certification for server power supplies and then the first to offer 80 PLUS Titanium-certified power supplies. Learn More
|FY16 Progress Points
|Reduced the average energy intensity of our product portfolio by 16 percent year-over-year
|Used 14.1 million pounds of recycled-content plastic in our products, up from 11.7 million in FY15

Sandro's menswear collection is designed by Ilan Chétrite – son of Founder Evelyne Chetrite – but with over 200 stores worldwide it's quite easy to miss the family origins and see the brand as something a little faceless. It's worth a look in, though. The menswear line sits in that mid-range between high street and designer, and the quality tends to fit the price tag.
For fall 2012 the men's collection look book offers up on two things: key trend pieces that err to the side of clean and classic, and lessons in layering.
Of the former, it's only natural that those key trend pieces for autumn / winter would fit largely into the outerwear category. If you're not sure what to invest in for the cold season, this look book demonstrates: ticking off the boxes for men's leather bombers and motorcycle jackets, a healthy (and warm) dose of shearling, and the more casual parka, which gets a heavier update for fall.
Even if these particular pieces don't resonate (though it's hard to fault the classic cuts and quality detailing of many of the jackets) it's also worth a peek for the ideas around layering. Come the cold weather, layering is key to an interesting look. Roll necks under V necks under jackets, or a coat over a knit over an untucked shirt… this is layering kept neat, and worth taking a few cues from.

Whistleblowing. Treason. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Julian Assange and the definition of the word "journalist." The politics of gender dysphoria. The Obama administration's unprecedented pursuit and prosecution of leakers. A disturbing video, shot from an Apache helicopter in Iraq in 2007, showing two Reuters journalists who are mistaken for insurgents and gunned down from above by American troops because their cameras looked like weapons.
The federal prosecution of Private First Bradley Manning — who has publicly announced her intention to live as a woman named Chelsea Manning since being convicted and sentence to 35 years in prison this summer for leaking hundreds of thousands of classified documents — touches all of those subjects and more, with even a place at the table for Lady Gaga, whose song "Telephone" Manning listened and lip synced to, "while exfiltrating possibly the largest data spillage in American history," by her own description.
But a Rhode Island connection? Actually, there's one of those, too.
Manning's lead defense attorney, Lieutenant Colonel David E. Coombs, is married to an associate professor of law at Roger Williams University named, Tanya Monestier, and he practices law out of an office in Providence. And when the 44-year-old, Boise, Idaho, native sat down on September 25 in a classroom at RWU's Bristol campus for his lengthiest public comments about the case to date, he began by reminding the audience that he once taught as an adjunct at RWU. "Although this is not my law school, I feel like it is," he said.
Coombs was interviewed by RWU law professor Emily Sack, who turned the questioning over to guests in the packed auditorium during the second half of the hour. Before kicking off the discussion, she offered a handful of stats from the case: how Manning was charged with leaking more than 250,000 diplomatic cables and 400,000 classified Army reports from the Iraq war — 22 specified offenses, in total.
She also added a brief word on pronouns. "There may be times when we're referring to the case and the trial in the past, where we will, by necessity, be referring to 'Bradley' or 'he,' " she said. "And my understanding is that Manning understands that and is comfortable with that."
"That's correct," Coombs said.
The following excerpts from Coombs's remarks have been edited and condensed.
ON THE GOVERNMENT'S AIDING THE ENEMY CHARGE: Pfc. Manning was charged with aiding the enemy for giving information to a journalist — the WikiLeaks organization — that, ultimately, through their cooperation, gave it to The New York Times, [the British newspaper] The Guardian, [the German weekly magazine] Der Spiegel. And basically it was released at that point.
The mens rea issue was whether or not you knowingly give information to an enemy, and here they charged Pfc. Manning with doing that through indirect means. The indirect means was giving it to the media and then the enemy gets access to this because the media publishes it. The government never said that Pfc. Manning's intent was to get information to the enemy, just that he knowingly gave it to WikiLeaks and through the indirect means of giving it to the enemy — of publication — that's how the enemy found out about it.
And because that offense carries the death penalty, our position was, "You gotta have something more than just knowledge that the enemy may somehow gain access to this information if it's published." Because clearly, then, if you said anything and a reporter publishes it, and somehow that aids the enemy, you could be charged with a death penalty offense. And that just simply can't be the case.
[But], I don't know if the government really had a theory, to tell you the truth. I think their theory was that this was information that embarrassed the United States government, we don't like it, and "'Aiding the enemy' sounds like a good offense, so we're gonna go with that."
ON WHAT MANNING'S ONLINE CHAT RECORDS REVEALED: Usually in a criminal case, if your client has computer forensics, that's not a good thing for you. Usually it shows that they've done something bad. But the forensics in this case really helped us, because it uncovered the Adrian Lamo chats. [Editor's note: Lamo was a hacker to whom Manning confided in 2010. He eventually turned Manning in to military authorities.] It uncovered chats with Zachary Antolak, who is now going by the name Lauren McNamara. And in both of those chats, it showed a very consistent position of Pfc. Manning, of being a humanist, someone who cares about human life, debating. . . how he could best serve his command to ensure that every soldier, every Marine, every contractor, even local nationals got home safely — really kind of taking on a lot of pressure on his shoulders, thinking that his job was one in which, "If I do it successfully, I could save lives."
With the Adrian Lamo chats, you see a person who now sees on a daily basis, what are called "SIGACTS" — Significant Activity Reports. And these SIGACTS show a person, oftentimes several people, being killed at various points. And when you look at them and you just read the SIGACTS cold, you don't really get the feeling of loss of human life. It's only when you start to realize that every one of these people that is being killed is a real person and it's real human life lost, that it starts to drive home for you you're reading. . . peoples' obituaries in these SIGACTS. And for Manning. . . it's a long story, but I'll brief it; I'll give you a Cliff's Notes version.
It involved an IED that exploded and initially we thought one of our convoys was hit. And it was a family of five that was passing one of our convoys, and unfortunately for them, they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. And when the IED exploded and went off, it went through their car. So their car was kind of the buffer between the convoy and the IED. And we never found out how many people died in that, but some children died in it. And for him, that was kind of the first time it kinda drove home for him that this is not make-believe. This is reality. This is real people.
And so you see in the Lamo chats, where he is saying, "You know what? If the American people only saw this stuff, if they only knew what the soldiers were being asked to do on a daily basis and how much life is being lost," he really felt that that would spark reforms, spark debates, cause people to reevaluate how we do counter-insurgency, the effectiveness of. . . kinda like killing everybody in a particular area and basically hoping that we got the right people. [He was] concerned about, when we have a lot of civilian loss of life, are we creating more enemies. . . because we've killed innocent people?
ON THE SCOPE OF MANNING'S LEAKS: Pfc. Manning, even though [he] did release quite a bit of information, had access to literally, I would say, probably tens of millions of documents. So when you look at somebody who has access to something probably in the neighborhood of 100 million, say, documents and some of it is, no kidding, [material that] I don't care who you are, you look at this and say, "Yeah, this is going to be harmful." When, then, you release only 700,000 documents and you see the common thread between each block of information, you see it was a very selective release. It wasn't a release that was indiscriminate.

Columbia Police Department to continue Kent Heitholt murder investigation
Once convicted for the crime, Ryan Ferguson was released from prison Tuesday
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Columbia Police Department and Chief Ken Burton released statements Wednesday, saying they respect a court's decision to free Ryan Ferguson, but are pursuing with the Kent Heitholt murder investigation.
Ferguson was released from prison Tuesday after spending nearly a decade behind bars for the 2001 murder of Heitholt, the Columbia Daily Tribune sports editor.
A Missouri appeals court overturned Ferguson's murder and robbery convictions. The appeals panel said the prosecutor's office had withheld evidence from defense attorneys and that Ferguson did not receive a fair trial.
On Wednesday, CPD said it would continue to investigate any new leads it receives in Heitholt's murder.
Later in the day, Chief Burton released a second statement, saying the department is still reviewing available options.
"The Columbia Police Department Has received multiple inquiries regarding the status of this case," said Burton. "The Department is reviewing the available options internally as to how or whether or not to proceed with additional investigation and/or a review of the case. Once a decision is made, I will release additional information. As always, we will continue to accept new information from anyone who is willing to come forward."
The original statement from Columbia Police Department:
"The Columbia Police Department respects the ruling of the court and understands the department's role in the judicial process. As we have throughout the life of the case, we will continue to follow-up on any new leads or information that is brought to the department."

E3, LOS ANGELES ⎯ May 18, 2005 — Capcom® today presented Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance™ for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft®. Set in the seedy underbelly of Las Sombras, players are immersed in an urban setting ruled by a criminal underworld of power, greed and corruption. This intense, urban action game features a twisting storyline filled with betrayal, warring cartels and hard-hitting battles. Players must use their wits and depend on their fists above all else, as they seek vengeance against their enemies. Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance includes multiple modes, diverse gameplay and an open format that offers players a high level of freedom. Capcom plans to release the game across North America next fall.
"Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance is Capcom's new take on the fighting genre and features hard-hitting action in a visceral urban setting," said Todd Thorson, director of marketing, Capcom Entertainment, Inc. "As publishers of Street Fighter, the longest running fighting franchise in the industry, Capcom is certainly an authority in this category. We will use this expertise as we take a new direction in fighting games."
In an area brimming with cartels battling for power and influence, no one comes close to Zanetti's group, the strongest force in Las Sombras. When Zanetti learns of a rival clan's drug deal, he dispatches five of his top mercenaries from his inner circle to intervene. When they arrive on the scene, they find their targets have already
been executed and to their surprise, they are ambushed by members of their own cartel. They were set up to appear as traitors who were out to nab the drugs and money for themselves. They had been double crossed, but by who? Was this some scheme by the cartel to exploit them as scapegoats? Did one of the five betray the others?
Outnumbered and pursued by both their previous cartel and law enforcement officials, the five are forced to split up and disappear into the shadows of Las Sombras.
Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance puts gamers in the role of one of the five fugitives as they seek revenge against their foes. Betrayal comes at a high price and to survive in Las Sombras, you need power. With enemies everywhere, the only hope is to find the other four and build enough power to strike back. Using a low-key downtown bar as a hideout base, players will wander the town in search of information and add allies to their growing opposition. Taking different jobs around town will add much needed funds to fuel the growth of the posse. By proving themselves in street battles, effectively utilizing negotiation skills and using clever disguises, they will be able to build their influence on the mean streets. Soon no one will stand in the way of cold hard vengeance!
Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance includes the following features:
Play as one of five characters:
Raven – a rough and tumble rebel with a short fuse and penchant for fighting
Jason G – an orphan whose second nature is fighting for survival and places high value on his friends
Gina – a stunningly beautiful assassin who's been scorned by a secret lover and is out for revenge
Lola – a professionally trained assassin from South America with a strong military background
Aaron – the Machiavellian bastard love child of Zanetti, the head of the most powerful cartel in Las Sombras
Multiple game modes:
Single player story mode
• Progress through mission based objectives
• Battle with people around town one-on-one or in heated group battles
• Talk to people to find information on your missing friends and your enemies
• Negotiate to make new allies with the street brutes around town
Vs. mode
• Vs. Mode Normal where you can battle against characters in the game
• Vs. Custom Mode where you can battle with edited characters in your own customized team and also store your custom team on a memory card to pit them against a friend's
• As you play through story mode, exploring new areas and meeting more people, options increase in vs. mode
• Open and diversified gameplay
Give them the beat down and let your fists do the talking - you can engage anyone you meet in a fight!
Use "negotiation" tactics instead of brawling in order to recruit allies or build more funds for your cause
Walk around town to get information on the whereabouts of the Zanetti cartel and police to avoid dangerous confrontations and possible arrest
Use clever disguises to blend in, enter locations undetected, or masquerade as others – keeping a lower profile will make it easier to proceed through the game
No holds barred street brawls – punch and kick, use objects in the environment like pipes or bottles, break open crates and bins to reveal hidden weapons, or even smash opponents against cars, barbed wire and more!
Team management - Make valuable allies and consider their individual characteristics to assemble the best team for each mission. Make friends with the right people to gain valuable resources like cars, money, connections and more.
Vast and dynamic environment – a true living city with several distinct areas populated by AI characters, realistic urban buildings and streets
Technical enhancements – incredible graphics, fully animated 3D characters, realistic sounds that echo during fights and distorted camera effects that reflect impacts sustained in battle
Multiple endings – depending on which character you choose and how you play, there are different endings

Expanding into a new market is a common way to grow a small business, but before you make the decision to start exporting, you need to ask yourself if your Ontario business is ready.
Exporting products can be complex and there is some risk involved. Businesses that jump in too early may jeopardize their current business activities. But, if you prepare for changes, you can improve your chances for success.
The first thing you can do is get a good understanding of the stability or accessibility of the markets you are interested in, and how you will finance your exporting strategy. You may also want to consider how you will handle deliveries, contracts, customs and foreign regulations.
There are a wide variety of resources available to help Ontario exporters enter new markets. If you are thinking about exporting, Ontario Exports can help you:
- Create an export marketing plan
- Develop an export strategy
- Evaluate potential suppliers and distributors
To see if they are ready to take the next step, potential exporters can also take advantage of one-on-one consultations by speaking with a member of A Team of Trade Specialists.
To learn more about exporting and international trade, check our Are you ready to export? section.

i wouldnt be surprised at all if surpassed 100 yards and a coupla tds tomorrow!
I hope Wilson earns himself two Flips on Sunday afternoon!!!
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
Were behind you 100 % DW >>>>>>>>> Show those Niners how fast you can RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN !
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the San Fran game will be a poor litmus test of Wilson's abilities. It won't matter who we have in the backfield. We win with the pass in this game. That said maybe Wilson can score on a broken play with his game breaking speed. One mistake and he's gone.
I don't expect much from the run game in this one. If I'm wrong then I know that our run game is good this year and the past few games were not a fluke.
Put his @$$ on the field!!
My biggest concern is his ability to read the defense and pass protect. I have visions of that dallas FB missing Boley on a blitz and Romo going down for the year in 2010.
David Wilson's speed will be greatly needed against the 49ers. I would love to him run one or two for a TD.

InfoBlox FYQ2 Tops Reduce Estimates; Q3 Light; Need More New Customers
Shares of enterprise networking technology vendor Infoblox (BLOX) are down 47 cents, or 2%, at $23.40, after the company this afternoon slightly beat reduced fiscal Q2 expectations, but forecast this quarter's results below consensus, and reiterated its reduced outlook for the full year.
The report follows a warning on February 10th by InfoBlox that caused its shares to plunge by nearly 50% the next day.
Revenue in the three months ended in January rose 12%, year over year, to $60.9 million, yielding EPS of 11 cents. That was toward the upper end of the company's reduced forecast for the quarter of $60 million to $61 million, and EPS of 10 cents to 12 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $60.6 million and 10 cents per share.
CEO Robert Thomas said that he was disappointed by the results, but offered that "there are several strong secular trends from which we are continuing to benefit," including mobile devices, cloud computing, virtualization, and next-generation data centers, all of which, he said, are "placing incredible demands on networks worldwide."
Thomas said the company sees a great opportunity in the security market. We remain confident in our long-term strategy and are taking actions to improve our current growth trajectory.
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue in a range of $61 million to $62 million, and EPS of 2 cents to 3 cents. That is below the average estimate for $62.5 million and 6 cents per share.
InfoBlox reiterated a forecast for revenue in the full fiscal year ending in July of $250 million to $254 million, and 30 cents to 34 cents EPS. That compares to consensus of $252.9 million and 34 cents.
During a conference call this evening with analysts, Thomas said the company's results were hurt by three factors that don't usually all come together during a quarter:
While sales for the first two months of the quarter met our internal expectations, January results ended weaker than we had anticipated, particularly in the northeastern region of the United States and in the central and western regions of EMEA […] We also closed fewer $1 million-plus transactions than we typically do. In the second quarter, we closed three seven-figure deals versus the usual five or six per quarter. While our large deal pipeline remains healthy, the timing to close these large transactions can sometimes be difficult to predict […] Our federal business also came in below our expectations, with the second quarter being our weakest quarter in two years. In the quarter, a couple of large deal deals did not close as expected, but those deals remain in our pipeline and we expect to close them.
Thomas said that the company needs to focus more on bringing in new customers:
When we reviewed our demand generation activities and sales productivity metrics, it was apparent that we need to focus more on new customer acquisition. Over the last two years our new customer growth rate has remained fairly constant at approximately 200 new customers per quarter. New customer growth is obviously important because it results in more repeat business. We are refocusing demand generation activities primarily upon new customer acquisition related to DDI.
When an analyst on the call asked Thomas if there was "less greenfield opportunity" in the marketplace, Thomas responded "We just need to spend more time in front of potential new customers than perhaps we've been spending in the past."

Reviews for this host's other properties
Joe was very welcoming and friendly at all times. I target and helped us about the possibilities both transportation and shopping.
Joe fue muy amable y cordial en todo momento. Nos oriento y ayudo acerca de las posibilidades tanto de transporte como de compras.
Well furnished apartment near the metro;), perfect for three people.
However, when we arrived we were pleasantly surprised to find dirty sheets .. The bed sheets were not clean, I am quite surprised if quite shocked .. Hygiene and cleanliness are paramount for me. .
Appartement bien aménagé, proche du métro;), parfait pour trois personnes.
En revanche, lorsque nous sommes arrivés nous avons eu la bonne surprise de trouver les draps sales.. Les draps du lit n'étaient pas propres, je suis assez étonnée voire assez choqué.. L'hygiène et la propreté sont pour moi primordiale..
We felt at home. If you like these small residential streets with the typical terraced houses and do not want to direct in the City, this is the place. The house is indeed getting a bit old, but also has a certain charm. The rooms are in the attic of the house. The doors are either individually lockable, but are accessible from the corridor, so that you do not (!) Separate apartment. But it was not a problem because you're up there alone and really only the kitchen is staying. When we arrived we had the impression that was previously only superficially cleaned quickly (sometimes a bit dusty floors, sauces splashes from the previous tenant in the microwave). But it was not a problem, we have the tables once more thoroughly wiped and washed us "our" Dish of the stay, and everything was good. Small but very nice bathroom, beds very comfortable, heating was really hot, so we could have breakfast outside temperatures the T-shirt despite 0-5 degrees. Broom, hand brush and microwave, stove, kettle, fridge and even an iron available, TV worked very well, wireless as well. Bedding was based, but bring your own towels! Supermarket and bus just around the corner, a good and inexpensive restaurant called "Sahara Grill". The advertised in the description shopping mall is quite a bit away (just over 3 km, ie 10 minutes by bus or 1 stop by tube), but you also have not seen absolutely. District and residents are down to earth, but one never has in the evening the feeling that it would be unsafe there.
Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt. Wer diese kleinen Wohnstraßen mit den typischen Reihenhäusern mag und nicht direkt in die City möchte, ist hier genau richtig. Das Haus ist zwar schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, hat aber auch einen gewissen Charme. Die Räume befinden sich im Dachgeschoss des Hauses. Die Türen sind zwar einzeln abschließbar, sind aber vom Flur aus zugänglich, so dass man keine (!) abgeschlossene Wohnung hat. War aber kein Problem, da man dort oben allein ist und eigentlich nur die Küche dem Aufenthalt dient. Bei unserer Ankunft hatten wir den Eindruck, dass vorher nur oberflächlich schnell geputzt wurde (Böden z.T. etwas staubig, Soßenspritzer vom Vormieter in der Mikrowelle). War aber kein Problem, wir haben die Tische noch einmal gründlich abgewischt und uns "unser" Geschirr für den Aufenthalt abgewaschen, und alles war gut. Kleines aber sehr schönes Bad, Betten sehr bequem, Heizung war wirklich heiß, so dass wir trotz 0-5 Grad Außentemperaturen im T-Shirt frühstücken konnten. Besen, Handfeger sowie Mikrowelle, Herd, Wasserkocher, Kühlschrank und sogar ein Bügeleisen vorhanden, TV funktionierte sehr gut, WLAN ebenso. Bettzeug war bezogen, Handtücher aber selbst mitbringen! Supermarkt und Bus direkt um die Ecke, auch ein gutes und preiswertes Restaurant namens "Sahara-Grill". Die in der Beschreibung angepriesene Shopping-Mall ist schon ein Stück weg (gut 3 km, also 10 min mit dem Bus oder 1 Station mit der Tube), muss man aber auch nicht unbedingt gesehen haben. Stadtteil und Bewohner sind bodenständig, aber man hat auch abends nie das Gefühl, dass es dort unsicher wäre.
(Inglés) We had a great time in this apartment. Joe Rhys was waiting us when we arrived. He was very kind. I gave us información sobre services in the area and instructions about the apartment. , Although it's the top floor and we stayed in november, the temperature was good at any moment thanks to the heating plant and a good isolation.
In the zone 3, near the Leyton Tube Station (Central line) and Also some bus line stops.
About supermarkets, you'll find an ASDA near the building and a Tesco a bit further. Many small shops are even closer, like a Saintsbury's, a bakery, other shops With imported products ...
(Spanish) We've had a great time in this apartment. Joe Rhys waiting for us when we arrived. He was very friendly. He gave us information about services in the area and instructions on the apartment. Although it is the top floor and we were in November, the temperature was pleasant at all times thanks to central heating radiators and good insulation.
In zone 3 for transport, it is near the stop Leyton (central-red line) metro and also near bus stop of several lines.
On the supermarkets, there is a close ASDA and Tesco a little further. Many small shops are much closer, as a Saintsbury's, a bakery, shops with imported products ...
Known is the poor value of the hotels in London. It is the first time we tried the vacation rental as an alternative and the experience has been very good. With the current rate 1 pound = 1.26 euros no cheap options. This apartment has allowed us to save on power to have a fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, stove, oven and microwave. It will let you feel better as a live English. Quite possibly we repeat.

(spanish) Lo hemos pasado muy bien en este apartamento. Joe Rhys nos esperaba cuando llegamos. Fué muy amable. Nos dió información sobre servicios en la zona e instrucciones acerca del apartamento. Aunque es la última planta y estuvimos en noviembre, la temperatura fue agradable en todo momento gracias a la calefacción central por radiadores y un buen aislamiento.
En la zona 3 para el transporte, está cerca de la parada de metro de Leyton (linea central-roja) y también tiene cerca parada de autobus de varias lineas.
Sobre los supermercados, hay un ASDA cerca y un Tesco un poco mas lejos. Muchas pequeñas tiendas están mucho mas cerca, como un Saintsbury's, una panadería, tiendas con productos de importación...
Conocida es la mala relación calidad-precio de los hoteles en Londres. Es la primera vez que probamos el alquiler vacacional como alternativa y la experiencia ha sido muy buena. Con el cambio actual 1 libra = 1.26 euros no hay opciones baratas. Este apartamento nos ha permitido ahorrar en alimentación al disponer de una cocina completamente equipada con frigorifico, cocina, horno y microondas. Va a permitirte sentir mejor como vive un inglés. Muy posiblemente repetiremos.
The apartment was pleasant in a very quiet and easily served by public transport. The decor, very basic, might be a bit 'more polished at least for the basic needs of the kitchen and bathroom that lacks absolutely shelves on which to place the necessary toiletries. Even the poor supply of towels that were released (only one per person) only after our insistence as we were told that they were not included despite this were shown in the presentation internet. Good availability of the owner (or whoever) reception.
Findings: slightly more than enough
L'appartamento era gradevole in una zona molto tranquilla e facilmente servita dai mezzi di trasporto. L'arredamento, molto spartano, potrebbe essere un po' più curato almeno per le necessità basilari della cucina e del bagno in cui mancano assolutamente mensole su cui appoggiare il necessario per la toeletta. Scarsa anche la fornitura di asciugamani che ci sono stati rilasciati (solo uno a testa) solo dopo la nostra insistenza in quanto ci è stato detto che non erano compresi nonostante così fosse indicato nella presentazione internet. Buona la disponibilità del proprietario (o chi per esso) all'accoglienza.
Giudizio: poco più che sufficiente
All very well, the study is small but it was very clean and in a very quiet area, about 8 min leyton station to catch the center line to the center. Joe, our host, was very kind to us and punctual when we agreed.
Todo muy bien, el estudio es pequeño pero estaba todo muy limpio y en una zona muy tranquila, a unos 8 min de la estación de leyton para coger el central line hasta el centro . Joe, nuestro anfitrión, ha sido muy amable con nosotros y puntual a la hora que habíamos quedado.
We enjoyed our stay in this appartement. It was clean and cosy. Joe is verry friendly and helpful. The neighboorhood was quit. The tube station (central line) is 15 minutes (walking) away.
I thank Mr. Joe, 'cause kindly arranged transportation from the airport to home, given the late hour (about midnight) .The apartment and' right for three people, the beds are comfortable, and quiet assoluta.Per move you have to take the bus which is a ten minutes and then the subway to visit the various attractions of London. The only comment I would make Mr. Joe and 'to put a mirror in the bathroom and hangers, and provide towels and kitchen also pagamento.Comunque I recommend this apartment for your holiday in London.
Ringrazio il signor Joe, perche' gentilmente ci ha organizzato il trasporto dall'areoporto a casa , vista l'ora tarda (circa mezzanotte).L'appartamento e' giusto per tre persone,i letti sono comodissimi,e la quiete assoluta.Per spostarsi bisogna prendere l'autobus che si trova a dieci minuti e poi la metro per visitare le varie attrazioni di londra . L'unico appunto che farei al signor Joe e' di mettere uno specchio in bagno e degli appendini, e fornire la biancheria da bagno e da cucina anche a pagamento.Comunque vi consiglio questo appartamento per la vostra vacanza a londra.
Host to 1 day before the stay tried to change the terms of the agreement. During booking we informed that we will come around 22.00. The host wanted to tell us the keys until about 7 in the morning saying that we will be aloud to check in and it bothers the neighbors. Later, another attempt to necessarily send a taxi for us despite the fact that I had purchased tickets for the subway. After rejecting taxi poor contact, barges answer questions. Apartment little dirty. Overall quality of the average.
As experience was not entirely positive as the address given on arrival, the guy who manages some apartments on this website ciha said of not being able to hand over the keys of the accommodation we had dcelto for failure to exhaust of the bath.
She showed us to another room that did not have the opportunity to refuse. The presence of food in the doors of the kitchen made us think that it was not even ready to welcome new guests. The confirmation has it given the poor cleaning of the kitchen and the floor. in principle we did not want anything except the hair dryer because the one supplied was not working.
Come esperienza non è stata del tutto positiva dato che all'arrivo all'indirizzo indicato, il ragazzo che si occupa della gestione di alcuni appartamenti su questo sito ciha detto di non poterci consegnare le chiavi dell'alloggio che avevamo dcelto per un guasto allo scarico del bagno.
Ci ha accompagnati in un altro locale che non avevamo la possibilità di rifiutare. La presenza del cibo negli sportelli della cucina ci ha fatto pensare che non era neanche pronto ad accogliere nuovi ospiti. La conferma ce l'ha data la scarsa pulizia della cucina e del pavimento. in linea di massima non ci è mancato niente se non l'asciugacapelli perchè quello in dotazione non funzionava.
