Retrofits & Cleaner Fuels
A retrofitted engine is cleaner because it either has been fitted with a device designed to reduce pollution and/or it uses a cleaner fuel. There are a variety of ways to retrofit a diesel engine. Retrofit options range in cost as well as effectiveness and some come with special requirements. Through EPA's Voluntary Diesel Retrofit Program, EPA verifies retrofit technology and certifies cleaner fuels to ensure that they produce the emission reductions advertised by their manufacturer.
- Diesel Oxidation Catalysts
- Diesel Particulate Matter Filters
- Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel
- Compressed Natural Gas
- Biodiesel Fuel
- Emulsified Diesel Fuel
- Retrofit Projects
The following chart summarizes some clean fuel and clean technology options.
|Clean Fuel / Clean Technology Options
|Type of Engine
|Percent Reduction in Emissions of Particulate Matter
|Percent Reduction in Emissions of Nitrogen Oxides
|Approximate Cost of Technology
|Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD)
|Nonroad Diesel Engine
|About 5 to 9%
Enables the PM filter technology to work
|8 to 20 cents per gallon more than regular diesel now
|Particulate Matter Filter
|New or Used Diesel Engine - 1995 or newer models
|60 to 90%
$5,000 to $10,000
Must use ULSD fuel
|Oxidation Catalyst
|New or Used Diesel Engine
|20 to 30%
|$1,000 to $2,000 and can be used with regular diesel
|Compressed Natural Gas (with an oxidation catalyst)
|New CNG Engines
|70 to 90% if using catalyst technology to reduce ultra fine PM, formaldehyde, and methane - otherwise, methane and aldehydes will be much higher than diesel engines
|About 60% reduction but are highly variable (sometimes increases occur)
$30,000 more than a diesel bus (cost of CNG fuel similar to regular diesel fuel)
Very expensive special re-fueling infrastructure and maintenance facilities are required
|Biodiesel Fuel
B20: 20% biodiesel, 80% regular diesel
B100: 100% biodiesel
|New or Used Diesel Engine
|Biodiesel increases emissions of NOx slightly.
B20 blend +2%
B100 fuel +10%
|B20 - 5 to 30 cents per gallon more than regular diesel
B100 - 75 cents to $1.50 per gallon more than regular diesel (B100 may not be an option in the winter season)
|Emulsified Diesel Fuel
|New or Used Diesel Engine
|About 50%
|About 10%
|20 cents per gallon more than regular diesel fuel
Diesel Oxidation Catalysts
Diesel oxidation catalysts are devices that use a chemical process to break down pollutants in the exhaust stream into less harmful components. Diesel oxidation catalysts can reduce emissions of particulate matter (PM) by 20 percent and hydrocarbons (HC) by 50 percent and carbon monoxide (CO) by approximately 40 percent. Oxidation catalysts cost about $1,000 to $2,000, can be installed on any new or used bus, and run on regular diesel fuel. Although installation time can vary, field experience suggests it takes about 1 to 3 hours to install an oxidation catalyst.
Diesel Particulate Matter Filters
Diesel particulate matter filters are ceramic devices that collect the particulate matter in the exhaust stream The high temperature of the exhaust heats the ceramic structure and allows the particles inside to break down (or oxidize) into less harmful components. They can be installed on new and used buses, but must be used in conjunction with ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel with a sulfur content of less than 15 parts per million. The combination of PM filters and ULSD can reduce emissions of PM, HC, and CO by 60 to 90 percent.
PM filters come in a kit that includes mounting brackets and an electronic monitoring device. The cost of the kit can range from $5,000 to $10,000. Some buses may need the more expensive filters to compensate for lower exhaust temperatures. PM filters work best on engines built after 1995. As a result, knowing the age and type of each engine in the fleet as well as the drive cycles of the buses is an important part of any retrofit project. These factors determine whether or not buses are candidates for filters. Although installation time can vary, field experience suggests it takes about 6 to 8 hours to install the filter.
Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) Fuel
As of October 2006, ULSD is available at the pump in most of New England. The primary purpose of ULSD is to enable or improve the performance of aftertreatment technologies such as a PM filter. The quantity of emissions reductions from the use of ULSD alone will vary depending on the application, level of sulfur reduction, and other fuel characteristics of the replacement fuel (e.g., cetane number, aromatics, PNA). Some case studies suggest that the use of ULSD alone can reduce emissions of PM between 5 and 9 percent. While ULSD-only emission reductions for PM are relatively modest on a per-vehicle basis compared to aftertreatment retrofit, the emission reductions can be significant if an entire fleet is fueled with ULSD.
Compressed Natural Gas
Another replacement option is to purchase new buses that run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and have been fitted with an oxidation catalyst to reduce pollution. CNG is a mixture of hydrocarbons, mainly methane, and is produced either from gas wells or in conjunction with crude oil production. Vehicles powered by natural gas perform just like vehicles powered by diesel fuel. The majority of natural gas consumed in the United States comes from sources within North America. Increased use of clean, domestically produced fuels helps reduce our reliance on oil from overseas, which is good for our nations energy security. Natural gas buses can reduce emissions of particulate matter (PM) by about 70 to 90 percent if they meet Clean Fueled Fleet requirements or have catalysts. CNG engines that do not have catalysts, may have higher formaldehyde, hydrocarbon, and ultra-fine PM emissions than Clean Diesel engines meeting EPA's 2007 emission standard for PM. The cost of natural gas varies, but generally is comparable to the cost of regular diesel fuel. However, the cost of a new compressed natural gas vehicle can be much higher than a comparable diesel vehicle. Additionally, CNG buses require special refueling facilities as well as a special maintenance facilities, both of which are expensive.
Biodiesel Fuel
Biodiesel is a domestically produced, renewable fuel that can be manufactured from new and used vegetable oils and animal fats. Biodiesel is safe, biodegradable, and reduces air pollutants such as PM, CO, HC and air toxics. However, emissions of NOx increase with the concentration of biodiesel in the fuel. Some biodiesel produces more NOx than others, and some additives have shown promise in modifying the increases.
Blends of 20% biodiesel with 80% petroleum diesel (B20) can be used in unmodified diesel engines. Biodiesel can be used in its pure form (B100), but may require certain engine modifications to avoid maintenance and performance problems. Pure blends of biodiesel may not be suitable for the winter season. B20 reduces emissions of PM by about 10 percent. However, B20 also increases NOx emissions by approximately 2%. The B20 blend costs about 15 to 30 cents per gallon more than regular diesel fuel. B100 reduces emissions of PM by roughly 40 percent and costs about 75 cents to $1.50 more than regular diesel fuel.

Emulsified Diesel Fuel
Emulsified diesel is a blended mixture of diesel fuel, water, and other additives that reduces emissions of PM as well as NOx. Emulsified diesel can be used in any diesel engine, but the addition of water reduces the energy content of the fuel, so some reduction in power and fuel economy can be expected. Emulsified fuel will stay mixed for a fairly long time. However, if a vehicle sits dormant for months at a time the water can settle out of the fuel and possibly cause problems. Therefore school buses may want to phase out the use of the fuel towards the end of the school year and then reintroduce it in the fall. Case studies suggest that emulsified diesel can reduce emissions of smog-causing NOx by about 10 - 20 percent and PM by about 50 - 60 percent. Emulsified diesel costs roughly 20 cents more per gallon than regular diesel fuel.

The Litchfield County area got more snow than rain or wintry mix seen in other areas of the state Tuesday andĀfolks there can expect about four inchesĀof snow by the time it's done, making for a messy afternoon commute.
WTNH has announced some early school dismissals and activity cancellations for evening.Ā
Fox CTĀmeteorologist Dan Amarante said snow could be expected North of Sleeping Giant State Park and a wintryĀmix of rain and light snow south of the park.
Amarante said that as usual in bad weather, drivers everywhere should use extra caution, but they should remember to be particularly careful during the morning commute when black ice is a possibility.
Areas of Litchfield County are expected to see up to four inches of snow when it's all done, Amarante said.
Reader reports ofĀ weather conditions poured in on Facebook from Litchfield County late TuesdayĀmorning, including, "big flakes now in Torrington has been all morrning," and "The snow Flakes look like cotton falling from the sky!"
Catarina Guarnieri wrote, "snowing pretty good in litchfield and its sticking." Jamie Lynn Sutherland said it was snowing in Winsted.
According to WTNH, inland areas were hit Tuesday morningĀwith light snowĀmixed with rain, while coastal areas saw mainly rain.
Snowfall is expected to be intermittent all day, withĀan increase during afternoon commute time, but noĀserious accumulation, according to Amarante.
Some area readers also weighed in on the weatherĀthis morning through the New Haven Register and Middletown Press websites.
Renee Forte reports the ground is coveredĀwith snow in Shelton.Ā
Chris Vargo, Jr. tweeted that itĀis snowing in Farmington andĀup Route 9, and Laura Bush Ātweeted that it's snowing in Cheshire.

Seriously, I cannot understand people's problem with FF. If you have good aim, you'll still be able to kill your opponent... I'm not even a FF user anymore, so you can't say I'm biased.
Same here, I stopped using FF & switched to Cloaked & I perform the same or even better without it.
People will complain about everything to cover up their inabilities.

Re: Target lock? & Getting the kill
Sooo, its pressing l1 and r1 at the same time while moving left or right and you will always hit the opponent. Powerfull thing. Thanks a lot man. See you out there.
Re: Target lock? & Getting the kill
ok..I'll try it on tonight. Still, sometimes I killed by just one shot even from a far. While some times I keep shooting at hitting for at least 2 whole seconds...and the just don't die.
Re: Target lock? & Getting the kill
Re: Target lock? & Getting the kill[ Edited ]
"sometimes I killed by just one shot even from a far. While some times I keep shooting at hitting for at least 2 whole seconds...and the just don't die."
And this is the sole reason this game has so few of players, lag. The person with the slowest internet connection has the advantage and they are hard to kill (it takes forever for their PS3 to get the signal you're shooting them).
Congrats on getting to a level 22, but soon you'll realize the whole rank system is a fabricated crapshoot that means nothing. What would be a lot more fair to everyone is if players were matched up on kill/death ratio and internet speed. So when you see the game saying searching for optimal game, don't laugh too hard as its a huge fat lie. I live in the midwest U.S. and 9 games out of 10 I'm playing against players in Japan, Europe, or South America. As a rule of thumb, if you see "MEX" or "BRA" in the clan tag just leave (after awhile you'll figure out who is laggy to you) that match because those players lag so bad and all it does is frustrate you and ruins the game.
If this game could resolve lag or significantly reduce it, it would be the greatest game ever and million plus players every night.
Re: Target lock? & Getting the kill
Yes....I since I'm fairly new to online multiplayer thing on ps3 I never knew about that laggin thing. But it makes perfect sense.
Though I don't think the problem lies with the game development. It would rather be a ps3 thing I think.
I'm using the wireless connection which might be slower than a standard lan connection.
I suppose most of us use the wifi not?
Maybe with the ps4 things will change. I have normal internet speed like 100mb per sec. But as you say It takes the ps3 way too long to send and receive signals.
Thanks for your input.

This game later today is without a doubt a meaningful game. There's a few things on the line here, so what the f*** is up with all the niceness on this board? I hate Cowboys fans, no matter where they are. Even NYG players hate their fans. I hate Cowboys players just as much. I hope Dallas gets pounded in the dirt, and totally embarrased in our house and have no playoffs again. Injured Romo, defense shaky on both sides, primetime game, NFCE battle, so much more to add. While we tend to be worse at home against the Cowboys, I pray for a miracle that this game is a blowout and the Cowboys watch the Superbowl on the television while they watch us win.
Given everything I've said, there's no other team I'd rather play in this situation.

Buakaw, Sudsakorn, Yodsanklai, Saiyok victorious at Thai Fight, Cannes. Yamamoto with upset!
- Written by Dave Walsh
Thai Fight Extreme was broadcast last night in Thailand on Channel 3 from 11:30 pm to 1:30 am.
Fights were three rounds under Muay Thai rules.
Results in brief:
Saiyok Pumpanmuang def. Ibrahim Njie Jarra, 1st round TKO, cut from left elbow
Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee def. Abdallah Mabel, DEC
Yodsanklai Fairtex def. Jose Barradas, DEC
Buakaw Por Pramuk def. Djime Coulibaly, DEC
Yuya Yamato def. Fabio Pinca, 2nd round TKO, cut from right elbow
Petasaween Seatanferry def. Sofiane Derdega, DEC
Allthebestfights.com has partial footage of Buakaw vs Coulibaly.
The fights were a bit one-sided.
Saiyok needed all of 10 or so seconds to back Jarra up and cut him.
Sudsakorn's fight was one of the closer ones, but he didn't look to be in trouble anywhere during the fight and Abdallah Mabel was easily the most experienced of the French fighters, barring Pinca. Sudsakorn played in his usual way and hurt Mabel with lowkicks. Mabel came out with elbows to try and win by cut, but Sudsakorn ended up cutting him and they traded some uncommon techniques like spinning elbows. Mabel even threw a Saenchai cartwheel in the third.
Barradas came out gunning in the first round, but Yodsanklai ground him down with power shots and was hurting him against the ropes throughout the second. Yodsanklai cruised through the third and took the decision.
Buakaw dominated his fight with teeps, middle kicks, and dumps, as per usual. Coulibaly gave him a bit of trouble with right crosses in the third, but he got dumped from a low clinch three or four times for his troubles.
I admit I stopped watching Pinca vs Yamato after the first round. Fabio was handling Yuya easily. There was a very evident gap in technique that Yuya couldn't seem to bridge. The pressure game he applied in his upset vs Drago was nowhere to be seen since Pinca had him outmatched in boxing, power, and overall technique. Yuya did partially connect with a right headkick in the first, but it was all Pinca.
Yuya has massive balls, though, and he overcame the gap in experience and technique by rushing in with elbows and cutting Pinca. I didn't see this, and it probably wasn't pretty, but Yuya reminds us that fighters come to fight.
Petasaween was a 130 lb. stadium champion in Thailand, and he took the fight comfortable against Derdega, as he was favored to do. I didn't watch it, but from what I hear, it was about as one-sided as the other Thai vs French bouts.
The fights were a good showcase of Muay Thai for a different kind of audience but, excepting Pinca vs Yamamoto, the fights weren't very competitive, and even that fight featured a massive difference in skill that Yamamoto overcame by luck and balls. If the Isuzu Tournament, which concludes this May 21st with Kem Sitsongpeenong vs Nopparat Keatkhamtorn, is any sort of gauge, though, the Thai Fight Tournament itself should feature some very competitive bouts, as it did last year.

Reviews of this property
It's a great place to live, with all modern conveniences we needed. They came in time to meet us in front of the appartement which is easy to find.
Around the flat it's really quiet, but you can easily go to the center.
The apartment is fine. Located in a quiet neighborhood that can be reached by underground in a few minutes from the center or, with a little more time, take a walk along the river. The hosts are lovely, they even have prepared a useful guide of Prague. Highly Recommended!
El apartamento está muy bien. Se encuentra en un barrio muy tranquilo al que se puede llegar en metro en muy pocos minutos desde el centro o bien, con un poco más de tiempo, dando un paseo al lado del río. Los anfitriones son encantadores, incluso tienen preparada una guía muy útil de Praga.
Muy recomendable!
Apartment new and very cute, but impersonal all the necessary comforts and is an armada of tour guides who have facilitated our stay in this magnificent city of Prague. I highly recommend this apartment comfortable, practical given its location in relation to transport and old Prague.
Appartement neuf et très mignon, impersonnel mais tout le confort nécessaire y est ainsi qu'un armada de guides touristiques qui ont facilité notre séjour dans cette ville magnifique qu'est Prague. Je recommande vivement cet appartement confortable, pratique vu sa situation par rapport aux transports et au vieux Prague.
The studio apartment was super clean and looked just like the pictures.
Kitchen area was well equipped and for us as hobby cooks that was really nice :). Ali was already waiting for us and a great manual was in the house as well.
Great place to stay at a good location...for sure when we are going back to Prague we will stay here again!
Very nice hosts, the apartment is beautifully furnished as described and it is everything you could need. Although located on a busy street, but when you cross that is on the Vltava River, and about 15 min. Walk from the beautiful castle Vyserad is with great parking facilities, ideal for evening walks. Cheap and good restaurants are also there to be found nearby. We would not hesitate to go again.
Sehr nette Gastgeber, die Ferienwohnung ist wie beschrieben hübsch eingerichtet und es ist alles da was man braucht. Liegt zwar an einer stark befahrenen Straße, aber wenn man die überquert ist man direkt an der Moldau und ca. 15 min. Fußweg entfernt liegt die schöne Burganlage Vyserad mit großer Parkanlage, ideal für Abendspaziergänge. Preiswerte und gute Restaurants sind auch dort in der Nähe zu finden. Wir würden jederzeit wieder hinfahren.
Very nice & clean accomodation. Modern kitchen, clean separate toilet with bathroom. Comfortable bedding. Nice living room with TV, radio and WI-FI.
Appartment located close to centrum. Either on tram or metro, or even on foot that was possible for us (+ children).
Big shopping area nearby with all needed facilities.
Owner itself very helpful and advising a lot of good hints about Prague.
We had a wonderful stay in this flat, very clean and warmy. Mary is very welcoming and was waiting for us when we arrived to give us some information.
I can recommend the appartement to anybody. The accomodation is very modern and it's easy to make yourself comfortable there. You will find everthing what you need for your stay. The metro and tram station to get in the center of prague are very near and easy to reach. We really enjoyed the stay!
We had a lovely time in prague. Very nice and clean flat to feel good. I would recommend the flat on any account. Thanks :-)
Marie y su marido han sido superamables y siempre nos facilitaron la estancia con indicaciones muy prácticas. El apartamento está bien en cuanto relación calidad-precio. Si bien está un poco alejado, es verdad que la comunicación con el centro por metro o tranvía está perfecta. En cuanto a las condiciones del mismo, está equipado de todo lo necesario...si es conveniente saber que el colchón no es todo lo cómodo que uno precisa después de un largo día de caminata, jjjjj. Bueno, por lo demás, es bastante recomendable.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Turn to the comics in this week's Providence Journal and there, near the top of the right-hand column, you'll find cartoonist and provocateur Garry Trudeau's "Doonesbury" in its usual spot.
But this week's six-strip series — a meditation on our anti-social tendencies in the Digital Age — is not what Trudeau wants you to see. No, it is a substitute for papers unwilling to run his controversial series on a Texas abortion law.
The law requires women to have an ultrasound before terminating a pregnancy. And Trudeau, as usual, pulls no punches. A patient arriving at an abortion clinic is told to wait in the "shaming room." Later, a male state legislator calls her a "slut."
And when she objects to an invasive vaginal examination, a nurse says "the male Republicans who run Texas require that all abortion seekers be examined with a 10-inch shaming wand." The nurse then declares: "By the authority invested in me by the GOP base, I thee rape."
Trudeau, in short, didn't make things easy this week on the roughly 1400 papers that run his cartoon. But making things easy is not his job; and it's not the job of papers that publish "Doonesbury."
At mid-week The Daily Cartoonist's informal list of papers passing on the abortion series numbered 57 — including the Star Tribune in Minneapolis, the Oregonian, and the Orlando Sentinel.
Other papers have taken a middle course. The Los Angeles Times, for instance, has moved the strip to its op-ed page. "We felt the story line was a little over the top for a comics page," said Alice Short, a Times assistant managing editor, in a story in the paper about the decision.
And Buffalo News editor Margaret Sullivan penned an editor's note calling the strip "clearly inappropriate for our comics pages" and announcing that all six strips in the series will appear "in a single block on an inside page of this Sunday's Viewpoints section, amid other political cartoons, with an explanatory note.
"This allows our readers to see the strips in print in a more appropriate context," she continued. "It also gives parents plenty of warning in case they want to keep children away from them, and allows adults who want to avoid the strips to do so more easily."
This sort of approach is, perhaps, overly cautious. Trudeau, for his part, certainly thinks so. "I write the strip to be read, not removed," he told the Guardian. "And as a practical matter, many more people will see it in the comics page than on the editorial page."
But the Times and the Buffalo News, at least, have offered up explanations for their decisions — and contributed to an important discussion of journalistic ethics.
The Journal, by contrast, has maintained its silence. No note to readers. No note to staff, according to newsroom sources. And executive editor Tom Heslin, in keeping with the paper's long-standing policy, did not return a call from the Phoenix.
Dropping the abortion strip strikes this media critic as a mild offense against the First Amendment — and a mild embarrassment for a paper that still retains considerable control over Rhode Island's civic conversation.
But it is, no doubt, defensible. None other than Bob Kerr, the paper's long-running liberal columnist, tells me he understands the move. "I would have run it, because I tend to run anything," he says, "but I have no problem with the decision."
There are reader sensitivities to be considered, he argues. And not everyone, he adds, is in on the "Doonesbury" joke.
But for a news organization that demands transparency from Rhode Island's major institutions, the failure to speak up on the "Doonesbury" flap is another small example of a failure to practice what the paper preaches.

Martin Seligman:
The new era of positive psychology
Martin Seligman talks about psychology — as a field of study and as it works one-on-one with each patient and each practitioner. As it moves beyond a focus on disease, what can modern psychology help us to become?

Resources for pentest lab scenarios?
I'm preparing for the CEH on my own (no formal classes), and would like exposure to more lab environments for pen testing. I wanted to know if you've located any interesting lab environment resources for pen testing?
What I'm hoping to find are more resources like de-ice.net which provide vmware images and lab scenarios to test against. Online labs would be great too.
I enjoy working against systems that I haven't setup myself.
The offensive security course and online labs look like a good value, but I think I'll wait until after I sit for my CISSP later this spring so that I can apply the continuing education credits earned toward future ISC2 requirements.

CA Democrats breaking down the safeguards of democracy
Original post made by jimf01, another community, on Sep 17, 2013
1 - 3rd District Court of Appeals found the Secretary of State had unconstitutionally placed Gov Brown's tax initiative Prop 30 at the top of the ballot
2 - Governor Brown and Democrats in the Legislature passed a budget trailer bill, SB 71, which included a provision to defund California's Public Records Act, removing the requirement for cities to provide information to the public. This would have greatly harmed public engagement, impact the ability of the press and private citizens to find out what government is doing
3 - AB 110 was signed by the Governor defunds ballot security in several key areas – including the mandated second stage review of provisional ballots, and updating county absentee voter lists
passed by Democrats

In Jimbo's own words from a previous post: "Residents of Pleasanton will be glad to learn that residents east of the Altamont Pass, in Tracy and beyond would no longer have a voice in their congressional representation, and vice versa, as in almost every draft version, the natural boundary of the hills east of Livermore divide the redrawn districts."
This has come to pass, which leads me to wonder why Jimbo still posts here in Pleasanton rather than in the county of his residency? If we're supposedly so pleased about political separation from you, why can't you just leave us alone?

What an outrage!! How dare these thieving Sacto legislators and Governor defund the Public Records Act. Bay Area News Group (Co Co Times) spent several years and much money, including Ca Supreme Court, to win the right for US TAXPAYERS to KNOW WHAT WE PAY OUR EMPLOYEES!!! That was a hard fought victory for us to have that right. Now these arrogant, greedy, and ungrateful employees of ours
want us to not have the right to who and what we pay to serve us,

These jerks keep missing the point....they work for US. WE are the employers !!! We have the RIGHT to this information....the CA SUPREME COURT RULED, we, the taxpaying public has the right to know WHO and WHAT we PAY !!!!! How dare this union owned legislature and the GOVERNOR decided otherwise...the Ca SUPREME COURT HAS RULED !!! WE must take it to the streets. I REFUSE to PAY. I have the right to know. KEEP this before the taxpaying public EVERY DAY!

Don't you want the RIGHT TO KNOW what is happening with your tax $$ and our employees in Sacto legislature ???? The Supreme Court gave us that right, and this governor and this Dem Legislature is trying to sign away our right to know.
YOU SHOULD be screaming to KEEP that right.

FYI Trudy, these laws are for all in this STATE, apparently you don't know that. As I said above, CA Supreme Court ruled WE, the people have the RIGHT to know about OUR EMPLOYEES we pay!!! Shame on Brown for wanting to HIDE the gifts he and his Dem legislature give to public unions...His duty is the stand with all taxpaying California citizens.
No surprise the Dem Secy of State broke the ballot law to favor Brown's TAX measure...more money for them. They know many of their voters aren't bright, don't even know the topic, but can follow 'just vote YES on on the first item called 30'...home free. Sort of like why Obama's campaign gave FREE CELL phones to all in his rallies in Chicago, so all could be called on election today, saying Today is the day, go vote.
No surprise Brown wants to reduce ballot security & review when checking the 'provisional' (questionable) ballots...
This is CA.

text: Gaston Lachaise (March 19, 1882 – October 18, 1935) was an American sculptor of French birth, active in the early 20th century. A native of Paris, he was most noted for his female nudes such as Standing Woman. Gaston Lachaise was taught the refinement of European sculpture while living in France. He met a young American woman who inspired him that went by the name of Isabel Nagel. Not too late in his life, Gaston Lachaise moved to America. His move to America helped mature his craft, himself as well, and he was influenced and inspired by American ways. Gaston Lachaise helped redefine the female nude in a, at the time, new and powerful manner. His drawings also reflected his new style of the female form. He is known for his sculptures, mostly; the majority of his famous works are his sculptures. Full Wikipedia Article

It is a sad end to 2013 for the global press freedom community.
With the sudden death of CPJ Mexico Representative Mike O'Connor, 67, on Sunday, Mexican journalists have lost one of their most formidable advocates. Mike will be remembered as someone who was on the forefront of the struggle for press freedom. His superb skills as an investigative journalist helped scores of reporters across the country during a period marred by violence and censorship.

HPQ: As Directors Face Vote, Harvard Prof Calls for a Breakup
Shares of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) are up 30 cents, or 1.3%, at $23.41, as the company goes into its annual shareholder meeting today.
As Bloomberg's Cory Johnson noted in a segment a short while, today's vote on board members is "focusing on the head of [executive chairman] Ray Lane," with the stock's performance since he joined on Sept. 30, 2010 having been dismal." In fact, HP shares are down about 44% in that time.
New York City comptroller John Liu two weeks ago filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission his view that shareholders should vote against directors John Hammergren and Kennedy Thompson, who, as members of the Finance and Investment Committee, he thinks are most responsible for the company's problematic acquisition of British software firm Autonomy PLC for $10 billion in August of 2011.
Other institutions have weighed in against board members, including Institutional Shareholder Services.
Those votes of no confidence prompted a filing last week by independent director Rajiv Gupta last week defending Lane and other board members.
Bloomberg featured an appearance by Bill George, a professor with Harvard Business School, who said the company needs to consider breaking into two units, the commodity PC business, as he sees it, and the enterprise technology operations:
This would be the fourth board shakeup in recent history [if shareholders vote against board members today]. This board has lost its institutional memory, there's no continuity. You've got to start thinking more radical thoughts. As a trader, you love what's happened [with the stock] in the last four weeks, but the results are still horrible. The latest quarter, revenue was down 6%, earnings down 6%. This is the erosion of one of America's great companies. I think it's time to do something very different strategically, it's time to break it up and have two different boards. We've got to do something to get back the HP I love so much. I'm not a big advocate of activist investors, but I'm surprised they haven't gotten in there. [Actually, Relational Investors's Ralph Whitworth is on the board] There has been a series of mis-steps here. The $8.8 billion [write-down] out of the $10 billion spent on Autonomy, and another $10 billion on EDS. And you look at their R&D spending, you can't make it strategically in the tech world with on 8% R&D spending. No other company in tech spends that little. I think [former CEO] Mark Hurd left this company strategically vulnerable, and they have to make some more radical changes. Meg [Whitman] is trying to help, I give her credit for that. I'm not an expert on valuation, but I think you have two different companies here. One is the low-cost commodity oriented manufacturing business. They just have to run that on a very low cost basis, and get it out of the Palo Alto environment, as was suggested by Dick Hackborn, who ran the printer business there. And then run the rest as an enterprise business, and invest heavily in R&D and new products. You would see a substantial uptick [in the shares] because people would be confident again. Right now, there is just no strategy for success.

meat roulade
Hi peeps, I have a question about meaty roulades in general. I have never cooked one before so I had a look at a few recipes online. I have found one I like but - and I quote - when it comes to roll the roulade it says "Using the cling film as a guide roll the meat together forming a sausage shape. Secure the ends by twisting, then wrap in foil" and then cook in the oven with some water at 190C for reference this is the recipe http://www.channel4.com/4food/recipes/t … de-recipe.
I wonder, is this common when cooking a roulade to actually cook the meat rolled in cling film? Does it not melt in the oven?
#2 Mon 24 Sep 12 7:14pm
Re: meat roulade
Hi Antasto, i cant view the link posted, i have seen others that use the same method though. I have never done it myself, i have rolled meat (fresh) in cling film, left the meat in the freeze to take form and then tranferred the shaped meat from the film to roll again in foil.

Re: meat roulade
I could imagine using aluminium foil, but not cling film.
I don't know exactly what you have in mind, when talking about meaty roulades.
The ones that I know are either held together with metal skewers or are wrapped naturally, like in cabbage: http://chris-cookingaroundtheworld.blog … e-for.html
#5 Mon 24 Sep 12 10:47pm
Re: meat roulade
We use wooden skewers with the smaller rolled meats and also wrap cabbage around large meat balls hand rolled, they are delicious.
Our poster has a roulade in mind, the size of a small loaf of bread
Roulade is to roll flattened meats around other ingredients, mushrooms, various herbs, prunes. If game we use black cherries, figs...
Once the meat is flat, no matter how many pieces over lay(overlap) each other, we lay the filling over finely and roll the meat as tight as possible...cooking string is used to tie the whole together...we start at the center of the loaf, make a knot then take the string to the sides and turn as when gift wrapping the string can be twirled over and secured at one end.

Re: meat roulade
thanks for that. Sorry the recipe is here http://www.channel4.com/4food/recipes then if you search for venison roulade is the 6th from the top, doesn't let me use a direct link.
I thought aluminium foil to be a better idea but they seem to use cling film and then wrap everything in aluminium foil. I have seen other recipes - not roulade - using cling film in boiling water but I always been a bit sceptical. ALthough in the roulade the tray is filled with water apparently and then placed in the oven
#7 Tue 25 Sep 12 12:01am
Re: meat roulade
To continue in my kitchen, the roulade is seized on all sides in a very little oil and butter, i add for white meat roulades a half bottle of dry white wine in a casserole, add herbs, mushrooms, pepper then allow the roulade to absorbe slowly those ingredients...at the end i may make a roux to have a thicker sauce, to serve with pasta or fresh vegs mixed with a basmati.....

Re: meat roulade
The method in the original post is quite valid. The water that is added keeps the temp of the rolled meat below 212 F and it shouldn't melt. I have even seen cling film used in whole pig BBQ application.

Reviews of this property
The Flat is nice, Clean and full of Stuff you can use. Sheets with Maps, restaurants and Activities are in the kitchen. We had no problems with the key or anything else... everything was fine, except the missing Balcony. Greets Janis
My parents liked the apartment very much! Well equiped and located close to bus stop with conections to Lisbon and the sea!
A really nice, lovely and clean flat wich has a very friendly host! Everything worked out fine! Thank you, Iris!
Very clean apartment and well furnished with everything one may need for a comfortable stay. The apartment did not have a washing machine before I moved in. But when I phoned the landlord, Irish, and asked her about how I was going to do my laundry during the month of my stay there, she went and purchased a brand-new washing machine and installed it in the kitchen. Upon my arrival at the apartment I was warmly welcomed by Irish. She was very helpful. She took me out and showed me where to buy my food and gave me some tips on where to find restaurants with good food. She also provided me with many brochures of tourism in Lisbon and showed me where to take the bus to the centre of Lisbon. Indeed, I could not expect more than what I found. She made me feel that I was at home. The apartment is located in the centre of Cost da caparica. Close to the apartment there are three super markets and one small grocery shop and plenty of restaurants. The bus stops are very close to the apartment. Costa da caparica has a beautiful sandy strand. It is ideal for surfing and bathing. I greatly enjoyed my stay at the apartment and in Costa da caparica. The only thing I could recommend to Irish is to offer more comfortable pillows to her guests. Thank you.
After a long journey the house was at our disposal when we arrived (a few hours ahead of schedule), Iris was very friendly and a great help to position ourselves as move to Lisbon, things to do with our 4 year old daughter .. .. and the ideal apartment for our stay: near the beach and shops, bus stop, light, airy, bed and sofa bed very comfortable .... the truth is we've been very, very comfortable. Iris .. thanks
Después de un largo viaje la casa estuvo a nuestra disposición cuando llegamos (unas cuantas horas antes de lo previsto), Iris fue muy amable y de gran ayuda para situarnos, como desplazarnos a Lisboa, cosas que hacer con nuestra hija de 4 años....y el apartamento ideal para nuestra estancia: cerca de la playa y de las tiendas, parada de bus,amplio, luminoso, cama y sofá-cama muy cómodos....la verdad es que hemos estado muy, muy a gusto...gracias Iris
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in Costa di Caparica. Die Wohnung hat eine gute Lage und verfuegt ueber alles was man braucht. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und die Konversation verlief problemlos. Iris stellte uns sogar eine zusaetzliche Matratze zur Verfügung, da wir vier erwachsene Personen waren. Wir würden diese Wohnung wieder buchen.

In summer 2012 I was fortunate enough to get two complete hives. I have been reading all I can and this is what I can tell you.
When I checked the hives this is what I observed......
1. The foundations were all pretty much drawn out, with honey, larvae, and newly laid eggs. All seemed fine.
2. I moved the hives to our property which was in the middle of alfalfa, potato, corn, and mustard fields.
3. Water was available
4. I arranged it so no ants would invade
5. I did not observe any pests (mice, roaches, wasps, mites, moths, etc.)
After I had them on the property for about 1 month a commercial company placed about 50 hives not more than 100' from my hives. Then about 2 weeks later another commercial group placed another 30 hives on the other side of the field to the east. Again not long after a third placed about 10 hives to the east.
I noticed that at night and in the evenings many of the hives right next to mine had what would look like swarm cells on the boxes. I dont think they were swarm cells because it was late in the summer but I dont know. I did take a peek in one of his boxes and it looked crowed?
I was finally stung and found out that I am allergic and had to go the emergency room.
With this in mind I observed from a distance more often than opening the box.
I noticed what looked like robbing (a few fights ensuing) so I reduced the entrance.
One day I went out and the box was empty. No bees, no dead, no honey, no larvae, nothing but a few random wanders?
Did they get overrun by the other hives or can anyone give me an idea what may have happened. Even though I am allergic I dont want to give it up.

The better question should be will Marvin Austin show up in shape.
Giants fan since the early 80s
An enemy of Eli is an enemy of mine. The man is cut as a lion, fierce as a sword, smooth as the wind; He was born in shape.
...I agree with the Marvin Austin question.
BUT the real question is will Jason Pierre-Paul show up in shape? He didnt last year...do we really want another 6-sack season JPP? one more of those and I hope he is cut..

Service-Oriented Student Organizations
Both Georgetown Law and the greater D.C. area have numerous organizations devoted to service. Those groups at Georgetown which enable student-led volunteerism are listed below. (See Local Partners for a list of D.C.-area organizations.) Some of these organizations run annual service events. Others provide long-term opportunities for community service. Some of the student groups at Georgetown Law that facilitate student volunteerism are listed below.
Equal Justice Foundation (EJF)
The Georgetown Law Equal Justice Foundation (EJF) is a student run organization founded in 1986. The goal of EJF is to provide funding for students who spend their summer working at unpaid government or non-profit internships. Since 2006, EJF's efforts have been matched by the school administration to provide guaranteed funding for all Georgetown Law students completing unpaid public-interest internships during their law school summers.
Georgetown Outreach
Georgetown Outreach focuses on getting students off campus and into the community by participating in a variety of community service projects throughout Washington, D.C. Past service projects have included activities such as volunteering in local homeless shelters, soup kitchens and public schools, or planting trees in local parks.
Habitat for Humanity
Each semester, Georgetown's Habitat for Humanity chapter organizes approximately two "build" days. These trips provide Law Center students the opportunity to get off campus and provide non-legal assistance to low-income families in the D.C. community. Habitat also coordinates week-long Spring Break Service Trips annually.
Home Court
Home Court is an annual charity basketball game between Members of Congress and Georgetown Law faculty to benefit the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless. To date, the annual Home Court game has raised over $5 million for charity.
Refugee Assistance Program
The Refugee Assistance Program partners with the International Rescue Committee to mentor recent asylees to the United States. In recent years, Georgetown students have worked with individuals and families from countries including Eritrea, Iraq and Nepal.
Georgetown Youth Advocacy Project
Each year, GYA holds various events for students interest in working in youth/children's advocacy. GYA also puts together mentoring pairs for clients in the Juvenile Justice Clinic and collects school supplies from the Law Center community for low-income children in the District.
Georgetown Human Rights Action - Amnesty International (GHRA-AI)
GHRA-AI works to increase awareness within the Georgetown community of human rights violations around the globe. The group has organized teleconferences with Guantanamo detainees and held events commemorating the beginning of the Iraq War and other military actions. Additionally, the group sends students on fact-finding missions to foreign countries like Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti and Jordan to research the human rights implications of different government policies.
Student Animal Legal Defense Fund (SALDF)
SALDF holds events to educate the Georgetown Law about animal rights and legal issues relating to animal welfare. Their events include meetings and symposia with experts in the field of animal rights (and are usually accompanied with delicious vegan fare!).

Listing goes like this and the title can be checked on ebay. ------------------------------------------------------------Up for sale is a 2006 GTO. The GTO has 45,685 miles on it exactly so by the time you buy estimating 45,700 miles. The GTO is 100% stock with 400 horse power except it does have the Weapon R Intake. We have the stock intake its in the garage which will be included in the deal. The Weapon R Intake gives it 15 extra horse power and its lifetime guaranteed so you just clean it every year (no replacing air filters). The rotors were upgraded to drilled rotors for better stopping times. The inside of the vehicle is 100% stock and in great condition but there is a small problem with the glove box shutting it. I think it just me but we cant get it to latch. On the outside of the car the right passenger side mirror is damaged but you can still see fine out of it. The outside phantom black paint is still in amazing shape. We wax it every 5 months. When looking on the hood there are five chips on the front hood but have been painted over/touched up. There are two GTO stickers on the side of the car which can be pealed off if you dont want them.The GTO is black on black and automatic (hot choice). Thats Phantom black paint and black swede doors with bucket seats all stock from the factory. Production Facts: They only made the GTO body Style from 2004-20062004 GTO has a LS1 5.7 engine and the exhaust is two pipes touching each other on the right side of the car.2005 GTO has a LS2 6.0 engine with dual exhaust but the same tale lights as the 2004 GTO Model.2006 GTO has a LS2 6.0 engine with dual exhaust but very stylish tail lights different from the 2005 model. Also better upgrades and design over previous models. THERE WERE ONLY 13,948 GTO'S BUILT IN 2006 BASICALLY A SMALL TOWN IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT.

That seems a bit high for any car made in 2006 that's not a premium brand. Also, you have to think about how much it would cost to fix it if anything broke given that it's 1 of only 14,000 cars.

Looking at other GTOs in the WI area, the price seems fair. There's always room to negotiate especially after seeing the cracked side mirror. Go look at it, check the title/carfax and make an offer. If you walk with $14K and change in cash, he'll probably take it. I'd never buy a used car sight unseen/undriven.
Kelly Blue Book suggests the price is reasonable if in the condition indicated. Edmunds comes up with $13.4K for a private party sale, which is more in line with what I would have guessed.You should have some room to negotiate.

Just because that particular combination is only 1 or 512 cars does not make it a collectible or rare car. It's still just a 2006 Pontiac GTO in the end.

It looks to be in good shape, except for the side mirror and glove box. $16k seems a bit high for a car of that age. It's not the rare collectible that the seller is portraying it as. Still, if you like it and think it is worth $16k, go for it.


text: Steve: A little off the subject, but I saw a video with some guy wrinkling his roof top with his sound system installation. What caught my eye was the insert he had placed over the space where the OEM radio had been. It even had a bowtie. Have you seen this? Is this something that can be purchased in the aftermarket world? I ask because the owner of the 93 Silverado I have just purchased states he had pulled the radio long ago and can't remember where he put it. So I'm stuck trying to find a replacement, cover it, or maybe add a cool DIC like the one you're showing.

Scientists at New York's Department of Health, in Albany, helped identify a fungus that has killed more than 1 million bats in the U.S. since 2006. Recently, they found several drugs that may fight the disease.
One of the drugs that proved successful against the fungus is a widely used antifungal medicine for humans called fluconazole (flu-con-uh-zole). Five antiseptics, substances that stop the growth of germs, also proved successful in stopping the fungus. The antiseptics may be used to decontaminate the shoes and hands of people who visit bat caves in an attempt to stop the fungus from spreading.
Al Hicks, a top bat expert at the Department of Health, cautions that there is still a lot of work to be done. "We know the drugs kill the fungus in a petri dish in our lab," Hicks told TFK. "That was the first step. The next step is to test the drugs on bats to see if the drugs can kill the fungus without harming the animals."
What is Killing Bats?
The disease is called white-nose syndrome. A white fungus grows on a bat's nose, wings and ears. Scientists have found that bats killed by the fungus have severely depleted fat stores. It is believed that when hibernating bats wake up to remove the irritating fungus, they burn fat that they need to survive the winter. The bats end up dying of starvation.
Vishnu Chaturvedi, a microbiologist and a lead researcher for the Department of Health, told TFK that the depleted fat stores are a big clue in the fungus mystery, but that more research needs to be done in order to say exactly why the bats are dying from the fungus.
"It might not be as simple as they're waking up too much," he says.
Another theory is that the fungus damages wings, which are important for maintaining a bat's water balance and blood pressure.
What is certain is that the fungus—which was first discovered in Albany, New York's capital, in 2006—may wipe out bat populations if it isn't stopped. Researchers at New York's Health Department found that in three years the fungus had reduced a colony of about 185,000 brown bats to 2,000. Today the disease can be found in bat populations as far south as Tennessee and as far west as Oklahoma.
A Future for Bats?
Bats eat mosquitoes and other insects that harm crops and carry disease. They are also important pollinators in desert and tropical habitats. But saving these beneficial animals will be difficult because female bats only give birth to one pup per year.
Another challenge for scientists is to find a safe way to treat the fungus. Treatments are not always safe. For example, drugs used a few years ago to help frogs attacked by a fungal disease ended up harming tadpoles. Moreover, antiseptics could harm bat habitats that support plant and animal life. A national action plan to begin combating the fungus in bats is due out in a few weeks.
"The challenges are great," Hicks told TFK. "But we must protect bats for future generations, so that our children and grandchildren can experience this amazing animal."

New year, new building
One student stopped in his tracks as he entered through the Pequot Lakes High School office Tuesday, Sept. 3, for the first day of school.
"Woah," he said, seeing the new commons area and glass doors into the new cafeteria for the first time. When students left school last spring, this cafeteria was the middle level gym.
"It's pretty sweet," seventh-graders Riley Kassahn and Mike Savage said in unison when they were asked what they thought of the building's facilities.
Though the office was crowded with a line of students seeking schedules, locker assignments and homerooms, the first day of the 2013-14 school year unveiled a building upgraded to improve students' learning.
Every high school student started the day in the new high school gym, where they heard from principal Chip Rankin.
"It's pretty amazing all the work that was done this summer," Rankin said to the students, noting the entire high school student body fit on one side of the bleachers, with plenty of room to spare.
He introduced 26 new students and three foreign exchange students who joined the student body this year.
Some middle level students were led around the building, briefed on a new lunch procedure and introduced to new areas of the school.
A few students met with the challenge of tricky lockers and winding hallways, but staff and Watch DOGS (Dads of Great Students) were on-site to lend a helping hand for the first day.
While middle level and high school students began school Tuesday, Sept. 3, elementary students begin the year Thursday, Sept. 5.
See more photos and information on the new school facilities on pages 12-13A.

The words from John F. Kennedy's inaugural address still resonate as the quintessential call to service: "My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country." Just a few weeks later, JFK turned those words into action, signing an executive order to establish the Peace Corps.
Since its inception, more than 200,000 Peace Corps volunteers of all ages – including, in 1966, the 68-year-old Lillian Carter, mother of future president Jimmy Carter — and many more in the VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) program have helped those in need by offering a hand up rather than a handout.
As we recall the grim events of JFK's assassination 50 years ago, what better way to pay tribute to the legacy of President Kennedy than by answering again his call to service. Listen to a few more examples of President Kennedy's inspiring words, and take advantage of the opportunities that AARP and AARP Foundation provide to give back to those less fortunate among us.

The Legacy Project collects and shares meaningful stories, providing a historical record of philanthropy at The University of Texas at Austin.
Faculty chairs, professorships and fellowships build the reputation of the school and are evidence of strong commitment to academic achievement.
The University of Texas at Austin relies on its many alumni and friends to maintain its stature as a world-class university. Endowments established by friends of the school are invested in perpetuity to support the four fundamental building blocks of any great educational institution – faculty, students, programs, and facilities.
Often described as "gifts that keep on giving," endowments leverage your gift across time and provide tangible, lasting benefits. The UT System invests your funds, using distributions from the investment for the purpose you wish to support – financial aid or merit awards for students, faculty support and research productivity, academic programs, and renovation and operation of facilities such as classrooms and centers of excellence for targeted curriculum and research initiatives. A portion of the total income and capital gains is reinvested each year, enabling the endowment to continue to grow and provide a predictable, stable stream of income over time.
For information on endowments, contact Dianne Bangle in the McCombs School at (512) 475-8177.
For information on corporate and foundation endowments, contact Wendy Elder at (512) 475-8133.
Currently the McCombs School is only able to provide scholarship packages to 2% of incoming freshmen. We have set a goal to establish a community of scholars built on a tiered "McCombs Scholars" program. Over the long-term, this ambitious initiative seeks to equip the McCombs School with 375 total scholarships (over 90 per class)—enough to ensure that the very brightest young minds in business have every reason to call the McCombs School home.

Reviews of this property
The apartment is very comfortable and clean, and there was even a bottle af nice vine for us when we arrived. Everything worked perfect and we were more than pleased. Also the location is perfect.
BIG thanks the Sabine & Sandra : )
We booked this accommodation for 10 days and because it had so many good reviews, we were convinced that we won't have a bad surprise.
But we were very disappointed. The apartment was NOT clean (it looked like it wasn't cleaned at all after the last people left). Hair were lying around, the toilet was not clean (sometimes it had problems flushing) and we didn't feel comfortable walking bare feet in the apartment. There was a constant smell in the apartment, especially in the wardrobe, which meant that we didn't even want to put our clothes in there. The sofa cover was smelling and the mattress of the bed was not comfortable (it sagged).
The nights were very hot, but the apartment has no air conditioning and not even a fan. Only after asking a few times, they managed to give us a fan half way through our stay, which meant that we could at least sleep a little bit better.
When we arrived at the apartment, there was no soap, no toilet paper, no dish washer tabs, no washing liquid... all of these things we first had to buy.
We have a well furnished apartment ourselves and we like to keep it very clean, therefore this experience was not good for us.
The good thing about the apartment is the washing machine and the fact that one can cook, so that one doesn't have to eat outside every day.
The balcony is small but good and the person who handed us the key was very nice.
The supermarket Carrefour, just one minute walk away, is very convenient.
Wonderful apartment, very clean with all commodities you need. We could easily find the apartment thanks to the information we received. When we had questions, we immediately got a helpfull reaction from Sabine or Patricia. The apartment was not far from the sea and the train station. Also highly recommended.
One suggestion: after a long trip it would be nice that the bed was made up.
We had a lovely stay in Nice . We hope to come back one time in the future.
Corrie and Sietze
We had a very nice stay in the comfortable and nicely furnished apartment. The organization and supervision worked perfectly.
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in dem gemütlichen und freundlich eingerichteten Apartment. Die Organisation und Betreuung hat bestens funktioniert.
Our stay was very successful.
Oppholdet vårt var meget vellykket.
The apartment exceeded all our expectations, that she is beautiful, we already knew indeed of the images, but the atmosphere created by the loving and tasteful decor made us feel at home right from the start. It was all there, what you need and we have purely missed nothing.
Communication with Sabine and the surrender by Patricia folded well and we will definitely come back !!!!
Die Wohnung hat all unsere Erwartungen übertroffen, dass sie schön ist, wussten wir ja schon von den Bildern, aber die Atmosphäre durch die liebe- und geschmackvolle Einrichtung hat uns von Anfang an zu Hause fühlen lassen. Es war alles vorhanden, was man benötigt und wir haben rein gar nichts vermisst.
Die Kommunikation mit Sabine und die Übergabe durch Patricia klappten bestens und wir werden bestimmt wiederkommen!!!!
our stay was perfect, the apartment super comfortable and like I was at home. when we arrived there was a bottle of wine for us. The site is perfect for supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants and the subway 5 minutes walk. We loved and will return to the same apartment.
Thank you very much to Sabine, and Patricia Guy
nuestra estancia fue perfecta, el apartamento super comodo y como si estuviera en casa. cuando llegamos había una botella de vino para nosotros. El sitio es perfecto para supermercados, panaderas, restaurantes y el metro a 5 minutos andando. Nos encanto y volveremos a este mismo apartamento.
Muchas gracias a Sabine, Guy y Patricia
Very nice apartment, clean, spacious, quiet, well located, lots of amenities, easy access to walk to the sites and museums, we spend a very pleasant holiday in Nice in large part thanks to this apartment very relaxing after our outings.
Tres bel appartement, propre, spacieux, tranquille, bien localiser, beaucoup de commodités, acces faciles a pied aux sites et musees, nous avons passer une vacance tres agréables a Nice en grande partie grace a cet appartement tres relaxant apres nos sorties.
Very charming apartment, very charming owner Sabine! Also thanks to the great accommodation we had very relaxing days in Nice.
Sehr charmante Wohnung, sehr charmante Eigentümerin Sabine! Auch Dank der tollen Unterkunft hatten wir sehr entspannte Tage in Nizza.
We, little man - little woman - Baby, were allowed to spend in the apartment of a Sabine wonderful few days. The accommodation, which is furnished with great attention to detail, was perfect for our needs. The transfer was made by Patricia, a friend of Sabine, and went smoothly. Because Nice is a small-size town lies the apartment very central but very quiet. It has great shopping and restaurants nearby. We were very pleased and can in good conscience recommend Sabines apartment on!
Wir, Männlein - Weiblein - Baby, durften ein paar wundervolle Tage in der Wohnung von Sabine verbringen. Die Unterkunft, welche mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet ist, war perfekt für unsere Bedürfnisse. Die Übergabe wurde durch Patricia, eine Freundin von Sabine, vorgenommen und verlief reibungslos. Da Nizza eine kleine überschaubare Stadt ist liegt die Wohnung sehr zentral jedoch sehr ruhig. Es hat gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants in der Nähe. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und können Sabines Wohnung mit gutem Gewissen weiter empfehlen!
