Reviews of this property
Die vorige Abstimmung mit der Rezeption bzgl. Parkplatz und Reservierung des Apartements klappte einwandfrei. Die Rezeption antwortete uns innerhablb kurzer Zeit.
Das Apartement liegt sehr zentral, sodass wir alles schnell erreichen konnten.
Es war sauber und hatte alle notwendigen Dinge. Lediglich die Einrichtung könnte etwas wohnlicher und moderner sein. Die Wohnung war recht ungemütlich, sodass wir uns wirklich nur zum Schlafen dort aufhielten. Es ist leider sehr hellhörig im ganzen Haus, sodass wir die Nachbarn die ganze Nacht feiern hören konnten.
Generell würden wir es aber wieder buchen und können es empfehlen.
wir waren mit unserer Unterkunft sehr zufrieden, da sie sauber und super Zentral lag. Es gab in den Straßen drumherum diverse Restaurants oder Bars und es waren nur ein paar Minuten zur Fußgängerzone.
Das Apartment verfügte über Parkplätze im abgeschlossenen Hof, der ausschließlich von der Rezeption geöffnet werden konnte.
Betten, Ausstattung OK. Einzigeste Auffälligkeit: Bad roch leicht muffig, war sonst aber OK! Empfanden daß die Fenster den geringfügen Lärm auch gut abbhielten. Würden das Appartment wieder buchen.
die vier Mädels
Tutto perfetto, appartamento spazioso e pulito, colazione abbondante a buffet, a 300 metri dal centro storico, che si vuole di più? Francesco e il suo staff sono molto accoglienti e disponibili per tutti i bisogni dei loro ospiti
Die FeWo liegt im Zentrum Prags, die Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fußläufig erreichbar. Die Wohnung ist hell und sauber, das fensterlose Bad verfügt über WC, Bidet und Badewanne, alles in tadellosem Zustand. Das im Preis inbegriffene Frühstück ist für das gezahlte Geld natürlich nicht feudal, aber selbst getoastetes Brot mit Butter, Käse und 2 Sorten Wurst, gekochte Eier sowie Marmeladen, Honig, Müesli und Cornflakes, Säfte, Milch, Tee und verschiedene Sorten Kaffe und Kakao aus dem Automaten erachten wir als zureichend. Großstädtisch knapp bemessen sind die Parkplätze. Aber das Auto steht sicher im abgeschlossenen Hof. Wir können diese Ferienwohnung guten Gewissens weiterempfehlen.
Reviews for this host's other properties
I am a bit late with my review. But since we had an excellent time staying with Francesco, last but not least: I really recommend the place! Breakfast included and parking possible.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Wonderful apartment, very clean and quiet! Francesco and Irma were very kind and helpful! You need about 15 minutes to Karlův most - a perfect place to stay when you want to visit Prague!
Superb view!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Overall we found the accomadation overpriced for what we got.
Apartment is large and located in a relatively good location.It was clean but very sparesly furnished. Change of sheets and new towels after 3 days was welcome.
Bedrooms were under the roof and even when it rained and cooled off, bedrooms were very hot at night. Therefore airconditioning in the bedrooms in summer would be desirable, on hot days essential. Internet was available but had problems and to get decent reception one often had to stand in front of the office. Shower holder was broken and even though we reported this on first day and were promised it would be fixed the next day, it was never fixed during our stay. Breakfast in neighboring building was plentiful, but was in the basement, which was very dark because only half of the light bulbs worked. Women who provided breakfast were rude. At exactly 10:30 we were told we had to leave immediately. Normally food is removed when breakfast closes but one can remain until finished eating. We would not book this apartment again.
- Quality assured accommodation

Science research conference draws nearly 300 from across region
By Amanda Beck
Communications Specialist, College of Sciences
(Aug. 24, 2009)--Nearly 300 participants gathered Aug. 7 at the UTSA Main Campus to celebrate scientific research in the South Texas region. The daylong College of Sciences Research Conference brought together undergraduate and graduate students and faculty from UTSA and surrounding universities to reconnect and foster new relationships.
"This conference was hugely successful for the college and exposes the great research conducted at UTSA to the surrounding scientific community," said Andrew Tsin, UTSA professor and College of Sciences associate dean for research.
Participants learned about the programs at the university through poster and oral presentations, and tours of the laboratories and facilities. More than 100 posters displayed in the University Center ballroom represented the college's six departments.
Karl Klose, director of the South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases, delivered the keynote address on effects of the Vibrio cholera bacterium.
More than a dozen educational institutions from across Texas were represented at the conference, along with members of the Alamo Chapter of Sigma Xi and the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS).
Six undergraduate students received awards for their poster presentations: Jessica Briscoe (biological sciences), Micah Spears (computer science/mathematics), Obehi Etinfoh and David Babinski (physical/chemical/material sciences), and Nicole Franco and Sean Vargas for the best SACNAS poster. In addition to plaques, each winner received a year's membership to Sigma Xi.
"I think we met the goal of sharing the great work our students and faculty are doing here at UTSA. What we have to do now is carry the momentum from this conference through the entire academic year," said George Perry, dean of the College of Sciences.
With the success of the event, college and university organizers plan to host an expanded event in August 2010. For more information, visit the College of Sciences Research Conference Web site.-------------------------------

A resthome worker who hid behind a door when discovered with a gardener in a dead resident's studio has been awarded more than $6000 in lost wages and compensation after she was dismissed.
The Employment Relations Authority (ERA) was told that Deborah Hoff, who worked as a senior caregiver at the Wood Retirement Village in Nelson between 2002 and May 2011, engaged in displays of affection, including kissing and cuddling, with the man while at work.
According to his determination, released today, Christchurch ERA member David Appleton said Mrs Hoff had a master key to a studio flat which was unoccupied but still contained all the personal belongings and furniture of a resident who had recently died.
In the incident, in April 2011, Mrs Hoff said she gave the gardener, who has name suppression, access to the studio to allow him to water the plants on the balcony.
Shortly after the two entered, the facility's receptionist went to unlock the door to show the family of a prospective resident around.
Finding the door unlocked, the group entered the studio and found the gardener inside, his glasses and her keys on the bed.
"The gardener, who looked startled according to the receptionist, walked out onto the balcony and started watering plants," the determination said.
"Mrs Hoff was nowhere to be seen. However, a family member noticed that there was somebody - Mrs Hoff as it turned out - hiding behind the bathroom door, which was partially open."
The family member commented that someone was behind the door but despite them walking in and looking at her, Mrs Hoff did not emerge.
Mrs Hoff said she could not explain why she had hidden. The gardener said the door to the studio was shut because they had been gossiping and Mrs Hoff had hidden because "she did not want to be found out". He said nothing had happened.
The receptionist reported the incident to the facility's manager who began an employment investigation that resulted in Mrs Hoff's dismissal for bringing the company into disrepute.
Evidence was subsequently presented that Mrs Hoff and the gardener had been seen kissing and cuddling in the facility's corridors, which Mr Appleton found likely to have been the case.
He did not believe it necessary to reach any conclusions as to whether or not the two were in fact conducting an extramarital affair.
Mrs Hoff's husband appeared before the ERA in support of his wife.
Mr Appleton determined that the dismissal had been unjustified because the employment investigators had not interviewed the gardener; because Mrs Hoff had not been given a copy of the house rules; and because she had not been expressly told that she could not open the door to the studio in question.
He awarded her $3778 for lost wages and $2500 for hurt and humiliation.

The Pirate Party of Canada has asked it's members to vote on its stance towards the Wikileaks discussion. In most cases, the PPoC requests its members to have their own opinion, and, if ever elected, to represent their constituents before representing the party. The PPoC only has a unified stance on matters of copyright law, privacy, and free speech. The Wikileaks issue definitely falls under this category, and the party therefore needs to make a collective decision. Here, I am publishing my personal stance on the issue, regardless of the decision they make.
Every human being should have a right to privacy. If we wish to keep any detail about ourselves secret, we should have the right to do so. Legal or illegal, moral or immoral, if we don't want some piece of data to be public knowledge, the right to privacy is paramount.
We wave this right as soon as we tell anyone our secret. Whether it is a family member, a close friend, a stranger, or everyone on Facebook, the secret is no longer ours to keep. By telling the person that secret, we have given them the right to maintain the secret, or to pass it on or publish it however they deem fit. We can request that they keep the secret, but we cannot demand it. However, that person still has the same right to privacy that we originally had. If only two of us know the secret, we both have the right to protect that secret. No-one should be able to forcibly take that secret from us without our consent.
Once a sufficient number of people knows the secret, the probability that their collective privacy will be greater than the right to gossip approaches zero. "Private knowledge" vs "public knowledge" is not a binary distinction. One person knowing our secret does not make the secret "public." However, it means that we no longer have the soul ability to keep it private.
The other side of the coin is the responsibility to protect individual privacy. Many professional and government organizations have access to individual data about us that we may want to keep secret. Our doctors, nurses, and medical staff, our accountants and lawyers, our banks, tax agencies, and passport authorities, our driver's license, health care, and motor vehicle registries all have access to data that they require, but we have the right to protect. They are responsible for protecting that individual data on our behalf. If they fail, data becomes public that should not be public.
So far, I've been talking about individual privacy. Privacy does not apply to corporations or governments. They should be held accountable to the individuals in the world, they should be required to operate transparently and openly. They are responsible to maintain the privacy of their employees, members, clients, and customers, but have no right to privacy as a single corporate entity.
Once data is made public, the right to publish that data trumps the right to privacy. This is freedom of speech. Any individual or organization who has access to data has the right to publish the data. The right to free speech does not trump the right to privacy, however, once privacy has been given up, the right to free speech is stronger.
The Wikileaks fiasco violates all of these principles. The private data of individuals was compromised. Government organizations were not operating transparently. Government organizations failed in their responsibility to protect the private data of individuals in their care. Freedom of speech was violated when both governments and corporate entities that should have been completely disinterested oppressed the publisher of the data.
I'd like to emphasize this point: Government organizations failed in their responsibility to protect the private data of individuals in their care. The failure rests squarely on the shoulders of the governments in question. Rather than attacking one (of many) publisher of the information, the governing body is obligated to fix their internal processes. Further, the corporate entities that are attacking Wikileaks should be focusing on this real culprit, not the publisher.
One less relevant note: it is true that the right to freedom of speech can be applied immorally. Consider the celebrity publications of today: the paparazzi are, by most accounts, disgustingly immoral. They violate the right to individual privacy (such violation should be illegal), but have the right to publish information once obtained. Wikileaks may (arguably) be immoral, but they are not so immoral as the paparrazzi that killed and photographed Princess Diana. Why is Wikileaks being persecuted while celebrity gossip rags are running free?

Welcome to the Hamptons: A Newcomer's Eating Guide

Welcome to the Hamptons
The East End of Long Island, N.Y., is home to beautiful beaches, incredible real estate and reputable traffic (especially during prime summer season). In the many villages and hamlets of the towns of Southampton and East Hampton, restaurants can cycle through as quickly as summer tourists. But an abundance of local produce and access to both the Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean for fresh seafood mean you're guaranteed to get a great meal at any time of the year. To help craft this tour we reached out to a few experts, including Food Network stars Katie Lee and Geoffrey Zakarian; the publisher of the local iconic paper Dan's Hamptons, Dan Rattiner; and Kathleen King, founder and owner of Tate's Bake Shop. And we added a few of our personal favorites.
Estia's Little Kitchen
1615 Bridgehampton Sag Harbor Turnpike, Sag Harbor, N.Y.
This favorite of locals and summer visitors alike was opened by Chef Colin Ambrose in 1998 and has been attracting crowds ever since. The menu is influenced by Mexican flavors, with breakfast and brunch platters like the George's Ranch (tortillas with eggs, avocado, black beans, cheese and salsa) and Fish Creek Huevos Rancheros (refritos, tomatillo salsa and queso fresco). Even better, the hefty portions won't break the bank.
Garden Seating
Chef Ambrose built a kitchen garden on one-third of an acre behind his restaurant and supplements his entrees with local produce from neighboring farms. While you can call ahead to make dinner reservations, brunch is your best bet. Waiting for a table has never been more enjoyable: Read the paper on an Adirondack chair in the grassy area of the garden.
Head farther east to Joni's for a wholesome breakfast with plenty of vegan options (South Edison Street between South Etna Avenue and South Elmwood Avenue, Montauk, N.Y.). The breakfast wraps are customizable, the smoothie menu is epic and the homemade granola is so tasty you'll want to take a tub of it home.
Topping Rose House
1 Bridgehampton Sag Harbor Turnpike, Bridgehampton, N.Y.
Iron Chef, Chopped judge and host of the The Kitchen Geoffrey enjoys both a meal and an overnight stay at Tom Colicchio's first establishment on the East End. The property features a luxury hotel and restaurant complex complete with a spa and a pool.

Farm-to-Table Ingredients
With seasonal and fresh ingredients, often from Topping Rose Farm, dinner here is perfect for celebrating a special occasion. Start with English Pea Ravioli or Fried Montauk Oysters, then indulge in Braised Short Rib with Baby Carrots and New Potatoes, or enjoy Roasted Monkfish with Heirloom Beans. The restaurant keeps the meal going with a sample of its housemade granola to go before you depart.
Another spot for celebrating is also one of Geoffrey's favorites: Sant Ambroeus (30 Main St., Southampton, N.Y.). The East End location of this romantic Italian restaurant features a signature branzino. Save room for dessert; Kathleen always orders mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Bay Kitchen Bar
39 Gann Road, East Hampton, N.Y.
New for 2014 and already establishing itself as a destination for seafood and waterfront dining, this hot spot is a perfect location for watching the sunset.
Seafood with a View
Father and son team Eric and Adam Miller have designed a menu with the local catch in mind. Montauk tuna and calamari, plus local striped bass and fluke, are all featured items. There's also a stellar cocktail list with drinks like the muddled mint and blackberry julep, one of a few of those Southern favorites on the menu.
Head farther east to Gosman's Dock (500 W, Lake Drive, Montauk, N.Y.) for a view with more traditional seafood favorites as well as an entire lobster menu.
Jack's Stir Brew
146 Montauk Highway, Amagansett, N.Y.
This New York-based coffee shop brings its delicious blend of beans, plus Hudson Valley Fresh milk from cows in Columbia and Dutchess counties, to the East End.
Pick Your Drink
There's more to the menu here than iced coffees and lattes. Try The Mountie, a latte with maple syrup and cinnamon, or a Happy Jack, which swaps maple syrup for honey.
Another local favorite and the drink of choice for Food Network star Katie is Hampton Coffee Company (869 Montauk Highway, Water Mill, N.Y.). Hampton Coffee Company is Long Island's largest independent coffee roaster-retailer, and they roast coffee for their cafe locations as well as for restaurants in the area.
Cavaniola's Gourmet
89 Division St., Sag Harbor, N.Y.
This trifecta of to-go eating starts with one of Ina Garten's favorites: the cheese shop. Here you'll find an enticing array of cheeses from all over the world, as well as baguettes and crackers for pairing. In addition, the Cavaniola family owns Kitchen, with foods and baked goods for takeaway, as well as a wine shop housed in the historic Umbrella House, which housed troops during the Revolutionary War.
Round out your menu further with a stop at The Seafood Shop (356 Montauk Highway, Wainscott, N.Y.) for fresh seafood salads and ready-to-eat meals.
Wolffer Estate Vineyard
139 Sagg Road, Sagaponack, N.Y.
Long Island is also home to dozens of vineyards, many with their own public tasting rooms. Head to Wolffer Estate Vineyard for a tasting of local sparkling and rosé wines, as well as a cheese plate for pairing. The Wolffer Estate Wine Stand (3312 Montauk Highway) around the corner is a family-friendly option for Friday and Saturday nights when there's often live music and plenty of space for the kids.
Low-key and dining aren't always hand in hand in the Hamptons. Southampton Publick House is home to some award-winning ales as well as easy-on-the-wallet fare. For $9, you can sample the year-round brews and a few seasonal favorites.
Tate's Bake Shop
43 N. Sea Road, Southampton, N.Y.
Even if you've never been to the Hamptons, you might have already tried Tate's chocolate chip cookies. This bake shop began more than 30 years ago and has been churning out nationally recognizable crunchy cookies ever since.
Cookie Favorites
Skip traditional chocolate chip and try butterscotch, ginger, white chocolate macadamia and even a few gluten-free varieties. If you're feeling like the classic, be sure to try one of the Tatewiches, made with vanilla ice cream and their famous chocolate chip cookies (it's also Kathleen's favorite way to eat ice cream).
If cakier, chewy cookies are your thing, check out Levain Bakery (354 Montauk Highway, Wainscott, N.Y.). The chocolate chip walnut cookie is one of the largest we've seen, but you're sure to devour it all anyway.
Dave's Grill
468 W. Lake Drive, Montauk, N.Y.
For a low-key dinner, Katie heads to Dave's Grill in Montauk. It overlooks the marina, so you can have fresh seafood right off of the docks. Their same-day reservation policy can be a challenge, but don't let it discourage you: Keep calling until you get through.
Famous Dishes
When dining at Dave's, Katie orders some of their most well-known dishes, like Dave's "Original" Cioppino or the Butter-Poached Lobster Roll.
If you're looking for your lobster roll fix in a more casual setting, head to the Red Hook Lobster Pound (34 South Etna St., Montauk, N.Y.). This New York City-based establishment pops up each summer with drinks from local Sweet'tauk lemonade.
Or wait until you're headed back along the highway and make a stop in Hampton Bays at Canal Cafe (44 Newtown Road, Hampton Bays, N.Y.) to sample one of Kathleen's favorite lobster indulgences.

|Assigned Interventions
|Experimental: PegIFN + Nucleosidic or Nucleotidic Analog
Drug: Pegylated interferon-alpha-2a
180 mcg / wk / SC from D0 to W48
|Active Comparator: Nucleosidic or Nucleotidic Analog
Drug: Nucleotidic or Nucleosidic Treatment
Analog treatment according to investigators practice
Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to provide a therapeutical alternative to the use of an extended or undeterminated duration of treatment with prolonged nucleoside (s)/nucleotide (s)analog (s).
The duration of administration is not consensual, and in most cases followed by a virological relapse, so that, the prolonged use could lead to the occurrence of viral resistance and mutations.
It is therefore expected that treatment with pegylated interferon for 48 weeks in patients with undetectable HBV DNA by analog(s) may increase and promotes the loss of HbsAg and then promotes HbsAg seroconversion. In the absence of cirrhosis, the loss of HbsAg at 6 months would allow the end of treatment

A sexual position, usu. involving two or more males. Little is know about The Gaffney, other than that it is extremely difficult (often referred to as 'damn near impossible') to master or even perform. Although it takes its participants to heights of sexual pleasure never before experienced by mere mortals, it leaves them exhausted and ravaged to the point of near death. Ancient texts speak of those who take part in The Gaffney being left blind, mute, or even paralyzed. Aristotle, Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill were all known to have been practicioners of The Gaffney.
"And then bestowed upon him was knowledge of a value unmatched in the world of men, and he was warned to share the knowledge with only the worthy, the pure of heart and noble of spirit. And he was told that from that day forward all would revere the name of The Gaffney."

I get the funny feeling that with this newer generation, the 3-3 will re-surface...
Not sure about the other skaters, but Mao Asada has a beautiful 3Lu-3Lo in her SP of last season. In the long though, all her combinations are in the end, and the combinations aren't toe-loops, they're loops. If she can up her TES points like that and still maintain good health, then more power to her I say.
I don't think the CoP so much discourages 3/3 as it does encourage "playing the system." In the past it a lot of skaters used the 3/3 as a way to boost thier scores if they felt they were behind other skaters either technically or artistically. It was really the only concrete way to get results. Now they can play the system to get points. A change of position here or tacking on a double loop there all add up without the risk of a 3/3.
While there has been a decline in 3/3s practically everyone is doing a 3 jump combo which prior to the CoP was almost never done Its less risky and gives similar results.
As far as the younger crop goes I think we'll see more 3/3's from them simply because they were perfecting them before CoP in order to compete with the veternans once they reached senior ranks.
The way I see it, under 6.0 the 3/3 in most cases was used as a technical booster, while under CoP its just another element you put in the program if its something you can do well. Its funny because Jumps used to be put in only if you could do them well, while with things like sprials and spins the skaters just did what they did well. Now its completely reversed and we are basically just seeing the jumps skaters do best, but they will attempt all sorts of sprials and spins regardless of how well they do them.
Remember, Irina has a very serious chronic illness. She can push herself just so far, and then there are problems. I think that by the time Torino came around this year, Irina was simply not capable of doing the 3/3s that she once had been able to do so easily. Just the stress of the Olympic season had already started to wear her down before she even got to Torino.
Also, Irina does not feel confident of her 3/3s when she is under pressure. She was able to rip off the 3/3s in the 2004-2005 GPs where both Sasha and Michelle were absent, Shizuka was off her game, and Irina had no real competition. She was able to do a 3/3 at CoR this season because her toughest opponent was Miki Ando. But there was no 3/3 at CoC where she faced Mao Asada for the first time, and no 3/3 at the GPF. It is not surprising at all that she had planned no 3/3 for Torino.
The only problem is, if she puts a 3/3/3 in her program, that doesn't really help her as much as it should because of Zayak restrictions. You have to scale back some of your other jumping passes (like maybe do two double Axels) later in the program.
A 3-3-3 could be a powerful tool for skaters. It allows them to do an extra double axle and that 3.3 points is a HUGE boost.
However, I think double axles should fall under the Zayak rule. Still, you could work the system by putting one of the Axels in combo. Let's pretend Shizuka really did that 3-3-3 and her program became thus:
Huge amount of points there. Although for her particular program I would almost prefer just a regular 3-3 and then the usual 3Sal/2Toe/2Loop at the end because that jump combination is so much more impressive coming out of her gorgeous Ina Bauer and creates an amazing climax for the performance.

Feeding The Hungry Without Exploiting Animals
VEGFAM helps people overseas by providing funds for self-supporting, sustainable food projects and the provision of safe drinking water.
We fund ethically sound plant-food projects, which do not exploit animals or the environment: seeds and tools for vegetable growing, fruit and nut tree planting, irrigation and water wells. Also, emergency feeding in times of crisis.
VEGFAM funded projects are carried out by organisations who are committed to helping their fellow human beings in practical and sustainable ways - helping people who are often out of reach of the major charities.
We rely totally on donations from supporters - we do not receive funding from any other source. For every £1 general donation received, 90p is spent directly on projects.
In recent years, our famine relief projects have benefited: flood and earthquake survivors (including tsunami), HIV/AIDS sufferers, homeless people, marginalised communities, maternity homes, orphanages, refugees, schools and colleges. Villagers and tribal people have also been helped.
From 2008 to 2012, Vegfam funded 39 projects in 23 countries, helping over 950,000 people.
To date, millions of people around the world are alive as a result of VEGFAM funded famine relief projects.
Please support VEGFAM'S work - sending a donation will enable us to fund life saving projects which alleviate hunger, thirst, malnutrition and starvation.
All donations and legacies are gratefully received and make a real difference to people's lives. Every donation counts. Thank you.

Out of Isolation: Alfred Starr Hamilton's A Dark Dreambox of Another Kind
Perhaps you have not heard of the reclusive, generous, "slightly surreal" poet Alfred Starr Hamilton. You are not alone–his first collection to be published in over 40 years has just appeared from the insistently smart small press The Song Cave. A Dark Dreambox of Another Kind: The Poems of Alfred Star Hamilton, edited by Ben Estes and Alan Felsenthal, is a true pleasure to discover, and includes much unpublished work, thoughtfully gathered from boxes and boxes of the stuff (much of it is now lost). A tribute to the poet in the form of a book release party is this coming Monday, February 18, at The Poetry Project in New York, with readings from Peter Gizzi, Ben Gocker, Emily Hunt, Lucy Ives, Charles North, Stacy Szymaszek, Brian Teare, and Ron Padgett. Ron Silliman wrote about Hamilton and his work back in 2006, when we were all recovering our neglected:
Alfred Starr Hamilton was on Larry Fagin's list of Neglectorinos & I was fortunate enough to find a copy of The Poems of Alfred Starr Hamilton at Powell's in Portland. I owned a copy once, but my days in the Bay Area saw lots of good books go out the door as well as come in. You can only own so many if your house is just 1,100 square feet, shared by four people. Now that I finally live somewhere that can pretty much take my book-buying jones, this must be the 100th or so book that I've reacquired over the past decade.
Hamilton, if he's still alive, would be 92 these days. When The Poems was originally published by Jargon Press in 1970, Hamilton was living in a rooming house in Montclair, NJ, on $1,000 per year, a family inheritance that was scheduled to run out circa 1977. The website devoted to Hamilton . . . [Ed. note: site no longer exists] lists only a couple of items more recent than my own last mention of him here in this blog. It would appear that both Joel Lewis, with whom I often agree about poetry, and John Latta, with whom I almost never agree, share my interest.
Like any isolato poet whose work comes to be known & published, Hamilton was fortunate to have run into David Ray, who seems to have recognized Hamilton's originality immediately after receiving a submission of poems to Epoch back in 1962 or thereabouts. Ray gathered Hamilton's writing & passed his enthusiasm along to Geoff Hewitt, who had the luck to have grown up in Montclair. Hewitt's introduction to The Poems is true to the work & affectionate to the person, who labored at various short-term jobs before the Second World War. Hamilton served, but was dishonorably discharged after going AWOL. He serviced vending machines for awhile, but appears to have stopped work altogether in his mid-40s, living on the margins after that.
Hewitt proved prescient in ultimately putting this manuscript into the hands of Jonathan Williams, whose own sensibilities toward the aphoristic & epigrammatic are so similar.
Read some of the poems, wherein Hamilton took "his instinct for compression in different directions" at the original post. C.D. Wright also wrote of his work:
It is a hidden world, a hushabye place that Alfred Starr Hamilton occupies, a secluded place where he is free to summon daffodils and stars, chimes and angels, thread and old-fashioned spoons. There is Hungarian damage, blue revolutionary stars, a sedge hammer (which is not a typo). He is obsessively drawn to fine metals – bronze, silver and gold. He would be golden, but can never grasp the elusive opportunity to be crowned. He is the king of his own infinite nutshell. A quality of the savant and the innocent is apparent. Of course it is sad: "One cloud, one day / Came as a shadow in my life / And then left, and came back again; and stayed" like "Anything Remembered" which is the title of that poem. He is too removed to see things any other way but his own. It is a silver peepshow in the wonderbrush, and there is always a moon to scrape from the bottom of his view.
Please support the press, buy the book, and go to the party. More to be said about Hamilton to come, hopefully, from all o' us.

iPride - Engage: Engaging students to gain 21st century skills
In May 2012, the Pine River-Backus School Board approved what is known as a 1:1 iPad initiative, placing a multi-faceted, digital, web-connecting tablet in the hands of every student in grades 5-12.
This decision followed an iPad pilot program and months of study and discussion by teachers, administrators and the school board. A central point of those discussions included two concepts: engaging students in their learning and equipping students and teachers with a tool to increase their ability to harness what are known as 21st century skills.
As the building principal and instructional leader at the high school, my point of emphasis to teachers has always been that it's not just about the iPad, it is really about using a tool that will better help us engage students and equip them with the skills to excel in the 21st century workplace.
So what skills does the 21st century workplace require? And why do we need to "engage" students in their learning? Two very important questions to be answered in the first edition of Tiger Talk!
Simply stated, 21st century skills are the required attributes that are present and in demand in all jobs across the state, country and world. They are what researchers, CEOs, managers and workers say are necessary for economic success today.
• Collaboration – Working together to create content or products across networks.
• Cooperation – Working and acting together to create finished products.
• Communication – Effective oral and written communication to facilitate productivity.
• Creativity – Ability to generate new and innovative concepts and ideas.
• Organization – Ability to manage and store information.
• Problem Solving – Ability to creatively tackle problems and analyze multiple solutions.
• Information Analysis – Not just what you know, but what you can quickly find, analyze and synthesize.
• Initiative and Self-Direction – Managing oneself and creatively approaching large and complex tasks.
While schools will forever teach the concepts of reading, writing, math and science, the way that students need teachers to teach has changed dramatically over the years.
Students today are digital natives, meaning that the fast-paced, information-intensive digital world is all they've ever known. Students graduating this spring have never known a world without Google, they have grown up with YouTube, bought their music online (not in a record store) and favored text messages over phone conversations.
Their world moves fast and consequently their expectations for learning do as well. PR-B teachers are working hard to meet students where they are at and to prepare them for the 21st century workplace that awaits them.
Teachers have websites that contain links to electronic versions of classroom content. They upload instructional videos that students click to view. Dates of assignment deadlines are often placed on electronic calendars and notes are taken, organized and shared on the iPad instead of notebooks.
Students are shooting videos of lab experiments and emailing them to absent classmates at home so they can be prepared upon return. Instead of writing a report on the Revolutionary War, students are creating and editing live web pages that contain multimedia information accessible to other students.
Routine cooking labs are now turned into cooking shows using iMovie. Instead of signing up for a computer lab and waiting until the next day to take their class down the hall to a lab, teachers are using apps to drill math facts and vocab quizzes with instant results right in the classroom, freeing up more time for remediation or enrichment.
Students are creating a working document (Google Doc) to be edited and added to by peers from other classrooms.
These are just a few of the activities I have seen in classrooms in the last few weeks.
Good teaching will never be replaced by technology, but at PR-B good teachers are using technology to help prepare students and equip them with the skills they will need to succeed in the future.
(Trent Langemo is principal of Pine River-Backus High School.)

A household includes all the people who occupy a housing unit. (People not living in households are classified as living in group quarters.) A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room that is occupied (or if vacant, is intended for occupancy) as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live separately from any other people in the building and which have direct access from the outside of the building or through a common hall. The occupants may be a single family, one person living alone, two or more families living together, or any other group of related or unrelated people who share living arrangements.

Sheriff's races steal the spotlight
REXBURG, Idaho - Election day is a week from Tuesday.
Local races are really starting to heat-up, especially when it comes to law enforcement.
Some of the races for sheriff are stealing the spotlight from other county offices that usually stand out on election day.
There are write-in candidates for sheriff in at least three counties: Bonneville, Madison and Jefferson.
Reporter Jessica Crandall spoke with two of these candidates who said they are looking to bring big changes if elected.
Some people believe things are getting too negative.
It's crunch time for write-in candidate Travis Williams.
He was in Madison County Monday hitting the pavement and handing out brochures. He's looking to get some support in the final stretch before Nov. 6.
"I'm running because I believe in this community. I've lived here for 20 years," said Williams.
Williams worked for his opponent, incumbent Sheriff Roy Klingler, for 18 years.
After he was fired in July, Williams threw his hat into the race.
He said he already wanted to do that.
"We decided to run for sheriff long before I was let go from the sheriff's office," said Williams.
Klingler doesn't buy it.
"I think it was just kind of the final straw that upset him when I let him go in July. I don't know what other words to use other than he's got a big axe to grind," said Klingler.
Williams has been far from silent about what he said are big flaws within Madison County law enforcement.
"We're spending a lot of money in the sheriff's office that I don't think is a responsible use of taxpayer money," said Williams.
A lot of people feel it's getting too personal.
"It's very hard because when he came in I promoted him to sergeant, to lieutenant and then to captain," said Klingler.
This isn't the only county experiencing some drama with the office of sheriff. Former Rigby Mayor Ryan Brown is taking on Jefferson County incumbent Blair Olsen as a write-in candidate.
He said it's time for more transparency.
Here is a link to Sheriff Klingler's website and Travis Williams' website, so you can learn more about the candidates.

When watching a serial-killer movie, I always suspect the person investigating the case is the culprit. In David Fincher's Zodiac, my money was on Robert Graysmith, the San Francisco Chronicle cartoonist who pressed his search for years, publishing his findings in Zodiac in 1986, the book on which the film is based. It's always the quiet one, the one you'd least suspect, who's guilty. At least in the movies. In real life, though, Graysmith is here in Boston promoting the movie at the Ritz-Carlton.
"I never really thought of that," he says, when I point out that his character takes on many of the characteristics — social isolation, dwelling in a tiny space filled with the detritus of crime — of the person who becomes his prime suspect. "It's true. That's how I ended up. I live in a 17-foot-by-17-foot studio apartment without cable TV and with a phone that seldom works. One side of the room is boxes straight through. I'm on a third row of boxes, so it's like the pit and the pendulum. The work is literally closing in. It's dark and I'm up at 7 am totally immersed. But to be honest, I didn't think I was obsessed until I saw Jake's portrayal."
The obsession started in 1969, when Graysmith, a wide-eyed kid from a small-town newspaper just three months at the big city paper, found himself in the editorial conference room when the first letter from Zodiac was brought in. "Because my training is in the arts and I'm very visual, I was intrigued by the fact that he used a costume [Zodiac sometimes wore a specially designed black executioner's hood] and arcane symbols and he liked to quote movies. He had a way with language. He had his own trademark — that crossed circle. They call it the most cerebral murder case of all time. There are still ciphers that haven't been broken."
Besides stirring Graysmith's artistic side, Zodiac also aroused his sense of justice. "I was a political cartoonist. In the tradition of people like Daumier who would do a cartoon attacking the king and end up in prison. I felt you could take symbols and images and make a change in the world by passing a bill or getting a guy defeated, or just getting people fired up. And it occurred to me that since this Zodiac killer was writing to our newspaper, I could do the same thing. I could put together everything that was known in this case and put it out there to the public and we could catch this guy."
After the first book (there was a 2002 follow-up, The Zodiac Unmasked, in which Graysmith revealed the identity of the person — never apprehended, now deceased — he was convinced was Zodiac), Graysmith took his obsessiveness to different subjects. He's published seven other books, including one on the murder of Bob Crane that Paul Schrader adapted into Auto Focus (2002). He has, he claims, passed the "torch" of the Zodiac obsession on to David Fincher: "He has found more new evidence than anybody."

Ear Protection Required Safety Sign is used to indicate potentially dangerous situations. Danger is used when there is a hazardous situation where there is a high probability of death or severe injury.
We manufacture the highest quality Danger signs made to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) guidelines for safety control devices, Standards - 29 CFR, Part 1910.145. The stroke and spacing of the letter style along with the header for these Danger OSHA safety signs are designed and field-tested for maximum readability.
These are the same signs used by professionals and government agencies.
These safety signs are made from professional grade sign aluminum, finished with a painted enamel background that is baked on for long lasting durability. We use a .040 inch thick aluminum alloy that is long lasting and rust free even in harsh weather extremes. The sign can withstand temperatures from -40°F up to 160°F.
These safety signs also available in three sizes of 10W x 7H, 14W x 10H and 20W x 14H. The size of the sign required is a function of the viewing distance. A larger sign can be read from a further distance. The 10"W x 7"H can be viewed up to 12 feet, 14"W x 10"H can be viewed up to 18 feet, and a 20"W x 14"H can be viewed up to 25 feet.
We also punch holes in the sign for easy mounting. The holes are 1/8 inch wide and are in the corner of the safety sign. The aluminum is cleaned and degreased, the corners are rounded, and the edges are smoothed to prevent injury.
ASTM 3105 aluminum is environmentally friendly because of its high recycled content; 24.86% post consumer, 65.2% secondary content and only 9.89% virgin aluminum ingots. Signs are recyclable and use recycled materials.
Product life impacts the environment more than any other factor and this product is known for its reliability over competitor's products. This item is Made in America which reduces transportation costs, supply time and its environmental impact and keeps American jobs.

Hi Forum,
I am soon to be a new beekeeper and as I think is often the case, I have a number of newbee questions. I have been researching for some time. I started by reading the Beekeeping for Dummies book but was dismayed by the heavy reliance on chemicals and the cursory discussion of alternative hives. I then turned to The Complete Idiot's Guide which I found much more useful. I have also been digesting Michael Bush's excellent Practical Beekeeper (so far Volumes I and II but also on the website.) I have also been listening (repeatedly) to the excellent podcasts hosted by Craig on the Southern Maryland Beekeeper website.
I have now purchased two 8 frame medium hives from Mann Lake with PF120 plastic frames. I have also put in an order for two packages from Bee Weaver Bees. I chose Bee Weaver because they maintain that they have been chemical free since 2001 and because they are more local and thus hopefully more tolerant of Texas heat. (I'm in Austin, Tx). There has been some discussion about the "hotness" of their bees here on the forum but it looks like most of this is a few years old. This gives me a little bit of concern about their use in an urban environment but Bee Weaver states on their website that:
So, I have decided to give them a try.BeeWeaver tolerated more stinging to produce bees that did not perish when hives were left untreated for varroa and tracheal mites. Between 1996 and 2002 our bees were more defensive on average with the chance of extremes in both directions (super gentle to intolerable). Since 2001 we have been able to refocus on all the traits that we want our bees to have including good attitudes. Each year there has been significant improvement. Not only in our opinion but in that of our customers. If our queen produces a defensive hive and circumstances (beekeeping techniques, hive location, pest problem) are not encouraging it then we replace the queen.
My question is; I am not sure if Bee Weaver uses small cell size as part of their treatment free practice. I emailed them but never received a response. I had planned to go directly to the PF120 frames but am now wondering if anyone knows what cell size Bee Weaver uses and whether I should consider a different plan in terms of regressing them (not knowing what cell size they currently use), i.e. perhaps going foundationless (which definitely has the appeal of getting the plastic out of the hive.)
Does anyone know whether Bee Weaver uses small cell size as part of their Chemical Free Practice?
I am sure I will have more questions, especially regarding beekeeping in Texas and dealing with heat.
Thanks in advance for any input,

Tips On Beating Deadly Rip Currents
With the summer vacation season here, and in the wake of a deadly drowning last weekend at Beach 14 Street, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Park Service are alerting beachgoers to the threat of rip currents and how to escape their strong and potentially fatal grip.
Rip currents are narrow channels of fast-moving water that pull swimmers away from the shore. Panicked swimmers fail trying to counter the current by swimming straight back to shore - putting themselves at risk of drowning because of fatigue. Rip currents account for more than 80 percent of rescues performed by lifeguards, totaling tens of thousands of people in the U.S. every year. An estimated 100 people are killed by rip currents annually.
"Before going into the water, check the rip current forecast, swim on guarded beaches and know how to escape a rip current's grip," said Brigadier General David L. Johnson, U.S. Air Force (Retired), director of NOAA's National Weather Service. "Doing so may just save your life."
Rip currents are prevalent along the East, Gulf, and West coasts in addition to the Great Lakes. Rip current education is critical to every swimmer and especially those who visit the beach infrequently and may be unfamiliar with this leading swimming hazard.
NOAA National Weather Service forecast offices that serve coastal areas issue Surf Zone Forecasts with rip current outlooks when rip currents are a threat. These are available online, through the media and are broadcast over NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards.
"Everyone should learn how to identify rip currents and take the time to assess the surf conditions before diving in," advises Tom Herrington, Ph.D, director of the Stevens - New Jersey Sea Grant Cooperative Extension. "If caught in a rip current, don't fight it! Swim parallel to the shore and back to land at an angle." Sea Grant is NOAA's primary university-based program, located in each coastal state, to promote better understanding, conservation and use of America's coastal resources.
Moving at speeds of up to eight feet per second, rip currents can move faster than an Olympic swimmer and can easily overpower a victim. Ian Crocker, four-time Olympic medalist for the United States Swim Team, holds the men's world record for completing the 100 meter butterfly in 50.40 seconds- a pace of nearly six feet per second. "A rip current is one competitor all swimmers should avoid challenging," said Crocker, who joins NOAA and the NPS in educating the public on rip currents through his participation in public service announcements.
"Every year, more than 75 million visitors come to swim, fish, snorkel, scuba dive, boat and enjoy the wildlife and majestic scenery in the coastal areas of our National Park System. The National Park Service has had a long partnership with NOAA and its National Weather Service to enhance our ability to provide visitors with the latest information on water safety," said Mary Bomar, director of the National Park Service. "We are thrilled to partner with NOAA for this important awareness campaign to bring scientific based information to the public about the dangers of rip currents and safety measures that will save lives in waterways throughout our parks."
NOAA, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, is celebrating 200 years of science and service to the nation. From the establishment of the Survey of the Coast in 1807 by Thomas Jefferson to the formation of the Weather Bureau and the Commission of Fish and Fisheries in the 1870s, much of America's scientific heritage is rooted in NOAA.
NOAA is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and information service delivery for transportation, and by providing environmental stewardship of our nation's coastal and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Satellites (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal partners, more than 60 countries and the European Commission to develop a global monitoring network that is as integrated as the planet it observes, predicts and protects.

I love all of Dr. Oetker's cake mixes. This one is one of my favorites. I love that it doesn't have that 'box' cake flavor. Knowing that it's organic, it makes a light and fluffy cake that will take some of the guilt out of eating chocolate cake.

Pure chocolate flavor. Not as sweet as regular box mixes. Baked a little too fast in my oven so it ended up a little dry. If I'd been keeping a better eye on it it would have been perfect. Kids didn't seem to mind though and ate it right up!

Just when we thought Barry Alvarez had made enough headlines for one week, the Wisconsin athletic director/interim football coach gave us another delicious gem.
Speaking Friday to Wisconsin's athletic board, Alvarez said the Big Ten's recent additions of Maryland and Rutgers were motivated in part by the concern of losing Penn State to another conference. Alvarez didn't specify which league, but everyone knows it's the ACC.
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
"Jim [Delany] felt that someday, if we didn't have anyone else in that corridor, someday it wouldn't make sense maybe for Penn State to be in our league. That they would go into a league somewhere on the east coast. By doing that, it keeps us in the northeast corridor."
Interesting stuff.
From talking with a Penn State trustee and others affiliated with the school, it doesn't sound like there was any imminent desire to leave the Big Ten. But the Penn State/ACC rumor was out there the week before the Big Ten added Maryland and Rutgers.
Delany wrote in a text-message to ESPN.com on Friday that he's not commenting on what others are saying about the Big Ten's expansion rationale. But I asked him Nov. 19 -- the day the Big Ten added Maryland -- whether there was any concern about losing teams.
"No, not in my view," Delany said. "But I do think that you need to build, and this build really solidifies the expansion we've done in the past. We've done one in the East, we've done one in the West [Nebraska in 2010]. I would say the driving force is demographics, but when you look at it, you can't help but think this is good for Penn State as well."
Big Ten has fricked everything up by locking up so many TV sets no one else can compete financially
OSU is not the norm though. We have the most varsity sports of any university in the country I think, by a large amount. I think most Big10 schools are in the 20ish range, which seems like the norm.
I'll continue to say the worst thing about the Big10 is the equal revenue sharing. Indiana collects the same check that OSU does so where is the motivation to field a winning football team.

text: I have a 2011 Silverado with 14,xxx miles. I recently took it in to my local Chevy dealer for a noise that developed in the rear end. The noise is a sort of banging noise when going over a bump with the front wheels turned. I most notice it when backing out of my driveway, as it has the usual low curb that most subdivisions have. The dealer told me that it was a normal noise caused by the rear axle shaft shifting and hitting the axle retaining pins. I don't think that is normal, and it never did it until recently. Any ideas?

When a girl is hanging upside down thinking you are about to insert your penis in her mouth you pull a 180 and then rip some serious ass right in her mouth. The hanging upside down is the possum and the fart effect is the squeakyness.
My girl friend was in for a real treat when instead of giving me head I gave her the suprising squeaky possum.

The Seductive Roles of Demi Moore
We check out Demi Moore's sexiest film roles so far.
Depending on what guy you ask, everyone has a favorite Demi Moore scene from back in the day. While this sexy brunette has never had a problem turning heads on- or off-screen, Moore's breakout roles in '80s teen flicks St. Elmo's Fire and Blame It on Rio garnered her star status as part of the "Brat Pack" dominating young Hollywood at the time.
Following her Golden Globe–nominated role in the sleeper hit Ghost, Moore went on reigning in the box office with hits A Few Good Men, Indecent Proposal and Disclosure — the last containing one of the most intense workplace sex scenes seen outside of triple x.
Moore's nude Vanity Fair cover sent shock waves through the public; her more risqué film roles such as in the aptly named Striptease didn't require much for male audiences to jump in line. After her second Golden Globe nod for HBO's miniseries If These Walls Could Talk, Moore took a break from acting until getting on board as the sexy, dangerous Madison Lee in the sequel to the Charlie's Angels reboot, Full Throttle. At almost 40, Moore's perfectly toned bikini body looks generations younger as she makes her Baywatch-esque run out of the water.
Charlie's Angels Beach Scene
In recent years, Moore has taken on more independent and art house projects such as The Joneses and show-play western fantasy Bunraku. While in real life her relationship with the much younger Ashton Kutcher may be on the rocks (calling all suitors), you can catch her this year opposite Miley Cyrus and sexy Ashley Greene in the comedy-drama LOL.

text: I appear to have run out of water and oil on the same drive. Wife driving actually, but my bad for not checking fluids. Anyway, got oil into it and the pressure has climbed back and the clack is gone. I think I have that okay. The water was unbelievably low; and the temperature gauge quit working. So, hopefully everything will be okay. Questions, 1) Just a temperature sending unit for the temperature gauge? 2) Could running super low on water cause the engine to get so hot it boils the oil out? I haven't had any oil level issues for a while now. I really don't believe that to be the case and am offering myself up for laughter fodder, but just wanted to ask. Thanks. Feel free to call me stupid. I deserve it this time. Maury

ApacheCon Presentation
My presentation is coming along quite nicely. I suspect I'll be done with writing it by Friday night and then on Saturday I'll re-read everything trhough, make corrections and then put it into HTML format. I called the travel agency that the ApacheCon people go through and found out that if I wanted to leave the Saturday morning after the conference is over that it was going to cost $1269. But if I left on Sunday it would only cost $350. That's ridiculous. What's more is that Camelot Communications (the people organizing the conference) are trying to get buy with only paying 2 nights stay for speakers, even though if one attended the whole conference it would be 3 nights stay. What a jip.
Monitor situation
Well despite the ApacheCon thing, everthing else yesterday went ok. Especially after I came back from lunch at Irish Lion and found a big 19" monitor box addressed to me in the front of the office. To note, I sent KDS back my 17" Radius brand monitor for repairs or replacement after it broke a few weeks ago. What service, they probably didn't have an exact replacement so they instead way cheered me up by sending me this kickass 19" monitor. What joy!!
At work I've been writing a frontpage extensions re-initialization program in Perl. What it will do is re-install the frontpage extensions for a user according to the setup we have in /etc/skel. This will be useful because we have been getting requests from users that seem to want to just fuck up what we've setup for them. Re-initializing a frontpage extension setup was tedious enough to warrant writing this script. I will probably release the program eventually after we have tested it initially.
