What I saw with Karl Rove on election night
Karl started calling out GOP leaning counties in Florida and I started to call out the percentages Obama and Romney were getting in them. Rove quickly pointed out that Romney was performing two percentage points ahead of the 2008 McCain percentage in these counties. I called out Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade and the Obama and Romney percentages in those huge Democratic leaning counties – and early on Obama was performing 2.8 points ahead of where he did in 2008. Obama was winning Hillsborough county by 6 points! It was going to be close – really close. It's was almost like that first night in Iowa we had together at the beginning of the whole thing – Karl convinced Romney would pull it out by a few votes – and I was convinced Obama had Florida. Florida! What a chicken – I started kicking myself some more. …
I blurted out to Chris Wallace and Karl Rove, "Do they understand the implications of that call?" I felt calling Ohio was tantamount to calling the presidency and thought we would be seeing blazing graphics declaring Obama reelected. Just as I asked the question I realized immediately why we were not seeing it – I knew Florida was gone to Obama – the Decision Desk may have been pretty sure it was going that way but from their perch Obama was not over 270 electoral votes yet – neither Virginia nor Florida had been called. Chris looked at me like I was on Mars and said "Of course they understand what this means – but we have to wait for those other states to call it".
Just then Karl Rove's phone rang it was someone in the Romney campaign….you know the rest.

Guillermo del Toro starts El laberinto del fauno|Pan's Labyrinth by entering the mind of a child. The camera hovers over the bloody face of 12-year-old Ofelia (Ivana Baquero), eddies downward to her eyes and into the black void of a pupil, descending into the subterranean kingdom of the dead. "Once upon a time," a voiceover begins, and the camera rises up through a womblike cave into the sunshine of Spain 1944, in the aftermath of the Civil War and near the end of World War II, where Ofelia is reading the fairy tale that's being narrated.
As in del Toro's previous two films, El espinazo del diablo|The Devil's Backbone (2001) and Hellboy (2004), the objective facts of history, the dates and places and events, can't contain the chthonic forces that shape them, the demons and fairies that lurk in a child's books and her imagination and under her bed. But here the director succeeds, as he didn't before, in his fusion of innocence and evil, nightmare and delight, in one of the most cinematically exuberant films of 2006, one that blurs the line between lucid fable and surreal enigma.
Fairy tales tend to be allegories about the consequences of disobedience, and this isn't an exception, though who is to be obeyed and why remain ambiguous. Certainly Ofelia's martinet stepfather, Capitán Vidal (Sergi López), a sadistic Fascist officer assigned to wipe out the last vestiges of Republican resistance in a frontier outpost, doesn't qualify as a legitimate authority. He's creepy enough in his icy greeting of Ofelia and her pregnant mother, Carmen (Ariadna Gil), when they first arrive at the post. And more so when he tinkers with a pocket watch (shades of del Toro's 1993 Cronos|Chronos and Captain Hook). But when he brutally murders two poachers suspected of subversion, he forfeits whatever sympathy López's arch, gleefully malignant performance might have mustered for him.
Ofelia seeks refuge from this unpleasant domestic situation in fantasy. Actually, the fantasies seek her. A giant insect, though not as imposing as the ones in Mimic, flitters up to her at bedtime and metamorphoses into a fairy; it's a cross between Jiminy Cricket and Tinker Bell. This envoy leads her to the labyrinth of the title, where a towering faun (Doug Jones) bent like a folding ruler tells her she's the daughter of the King of the Underworld. To prove she has not gone over to the mortal side, however, she must fulfill the inevitable Three Tasks. Should she obey? And what are these tasks testing?
Meanwhile, spies and guerrillas and Fascists clash, crises that indirectly intersect with Ofelia's encounters with a disgusting giant toad, a cannibalistic monstrosity who looks (among other things) like Goya's painting of Saturn devouring his son, and a squirming mandrake root — just a few of the stunning creations that are bound to get viewers searching through their volumes of Jung and Freud. Arresting though they may be, these mind-boggling effects, shot with limpid mystery by Guillermo Navarro and accompanied by chitinous whirs and crackles on the uncanny soundtrack, don't disrupt the double narrative but intensify it. When the two tales intersect, neither the nightmare of history nor the nightmare of childhood offers refuge from the other, but in one, at least, innocence proves triumphant.

James Milne stands out in a crowd. Not only is he strikingly tall and blond, but even popping down to a Newton cafe in between rehearsals for his upcoming national tour, he cuts a dapper figure.
Not quite the pristine, stylised vision of his press photos, a little more rumpled and real, but still rather dashing.
Of course he also metaphorically stands out from the crowded local indie music scene as Lawrence Arabia (his stage name).
He's clearly ambitious, has a wry sense of humour, and having won both the 2009 Silver Scroll Award for scrumptious pop single Apple Pie Bed and the 2010 Taite Prize for his previous album Chant Darling, he could probably call himself New Zealand's most critically acclaimed musician.
Now on the verge of releasing his third solo album The Sparrow, he's setting himself a fresh challenge of touring the country with a 10-piece (or more) band, to replicate the lush orchestral style arrangements of the new songs.
The notion of performing his works as a large-scale show, in a grand setting with strings and horns has been in Milne's head since he first began recording the album.
"It just felt like, at least if you've got something really ambitious to aim for, and you can get really obsessed with that, and you don't have to sit wondering 'is it worth me being just another rock band, a bottom-feeder playing support shows, out plying my trade in pubs'. It became kind of essential to me."
It has been a long process to get to this point though; one which began while Milne was touring North America and Europe in 2010, and began feeling an almost overwhelming urge to write new songs, despite not knowing what they would be about.
"Touring can be stifling during the day, in that it's just basically sitting in a van, or going to a service station and browsing the aisles for jerky. It was a process I really craved as a reaction to touring I guess. Normally, if you cultivate a certain level of laziness, eventually songs just spring forth from that, but this was a different situation."
Milne had also hatched a plan to take over a house in south London, borrow some old recording gear, and spend some time laying down tracks with good friends Conan Mockasin and Elroy Finn, and, what with their busy schedules, he had something of a deadline looming. So when he returned to his then base in London, he hired a rehearsal space with a piano in Kings Cross.
"I was forcing myself into a nine to five situation almost, trying to finish the songs. There were a couple of times when songs sprung from writing assignments - we had a couple of dinner parties with Conan and Elroy, and I ended up asking what subjects should I write songs about. So they'd give me starting points.
"The song The Bisexual came from Elroy being obsessed with this idea of a 'snake in the grass', someone that's ruining your attempts to get it on with your object of desire. And another assignment became Lick Your Wounds, but it was totally different to start with - it was initially a song about someone winning a surfing championship."
The trio spent around five days turning out three or four songs a day, with Finn on drums, Mockasin on bass and Milne singing, as well as playing guitar, and piano - which has a greater prominence than on his previous albums.
"Writing on the piano was a novelty. If you get sick of the instrument you play, you get mental blanks when you pick it up, so sometimes it's nice to just pick up something different. And there was no mucking around with the tracks after those recordings were done, because it was all recorded live and everything was bleeding into each other, so there was no option to just pull out the piano or anything like that."
He could certainly add more layers though, and on returning to Auckland last year, he started roping in musicians to add the swaying romantic string parts, jaunty horns and woodwinds, and flourishes of percussion. It's a classic album. Dappled orchestral pop that mixes light and shadow, dark, grooving, and sly in its storytelling.
"Scott Walker and Serge Gainsbourg, I got quite obsessed with their records. I guess they're both quite European, and there's some sort of European-ness that I was after. I wasn't trying to emulate anything in particular I don't think, but I guess it's a case of when you become obsessed with things, they'll come back out to you again."
Milne's imaginative talents as a wordsmith that are so evident in his songs, have also been finding an outlet in a nutty sounding side project known as Uncle Bertie's Botanarium, which he's been writing music and plot ideas for.
It initially began as a film idea, but has lately been scaled back to a radio play. They have recorded the 45-minute pilot and hope to make a further six episodes.
It features a number of prominent creative types, and Jemaine Clement plays the main character, Joseph Banks.
"He's a delusional sociopath botanist, in a parallel universe and he's getting a crew together to travel to the other side of the world so he can destroy this plant, which is the source of all pleasure. I play his assistant, and I'm just constantly being abused by him."
It could be a while before the saga is finished though as Milne will be heading off to base himself in New York, and tour the US (with Liam and Elroy Finn added to his touring party) at the end of July, to coincide with The Sparrow's release in Australia, Europe and the US.
Who: Lawrence Arabia aka James Milne.
What: New album The Sparrow, out July 6.
Where and when: He will be touring New Zealand with a 10-piece band, and plays at the Auckland Town Hall on July 20.

Hello and welcome to Gunco.
At this time it's cheaper to buy a complete rifle than build one.
If you must build, try a parts kit that's simple, as a complete kit with a
factory barrel. So many choices.
Good luck.
New rookie here. What would you guys recommend for a first build?
Hello and welcome to Gunco.

Good luck.
Your in my Mind, and in my Sights
Sub gun build or any builds? All depends on how much experience you have with tools. If you can weld or have the stuff to learn on that opens alot of doors. If you want to build a rifle look at all the kits on the market amd then when you find the one you like the most look into how much it takes to build one (welding, drilling, making a FCG or linear hammer) Also if you can buy one cheaper.
Ak's are a good first. I think the most important part is getting a rifle you really want. Because it will always cost you more money and time than you want it to.
Thanks fo rthe input. I was thinking sub gun, maybe a PPS-43. I'm a pretty good welder and have the necessary tools at my disposal.
Ir would be cool to adapt AK furnature and decor to a PPS-43 !!!
ok, a few questions. If I go with a PPs-43 should I go with a pre-bent receiver or a flat one that has the ejection port already cut out? I have a press so bending it is not the issue. Bending it correctly would be though. Where can I find blueprints?
Thanks in advance.
I just rewelded a pps-43 finding somthing that is the same Inner diameter and you can press on is kind of hard. Unless of course you have a lathe. So the bent one might be the way to go. The ejector whole wouldn't be hard if you have drill and a dermel. Mine is actually one of the older Russian kits that still had some of the trunnion. I ended welding on my receiver like in five places.
The hardest thing on a PPS-43 build is the bolt you have to modify it to have a firing pin. I haven't done mine yet I'm rebuilding my bridgeport which i'm going to use.
My parts kit came in yesterday and everything looks good. Pictures to follow.
I have access to a Bridgeport and have thought about trying the bolt mod myself (not guts, no glory). Thought about using a firing pin from an AR-15. Any thoughts?

From the advent of Web 2.0 to recent policy recommendations in the Affordable Care Act, change is creating a rapidly growing demand for public health informatics specialists as well as public health professionals with proficiency in informatics. Information science professionals may find in public health a new and exciting arena to apply their analytical and systems skills. Public health professionals may find increased informatics knowledge and skills helpful in their work. This article gives an overview of public health informatics (PHI) and describes a variety of resources to help those interested in finding out more.
Public health informatics: An invitation to the field
Editor's Summary
As we strive to manage health challenges on a population level, the demand for specialists in public health informatics is growing. The specialty differs from medical and nursing informatics by its focus on broad public health goals, policy and prevention rather than individual patient treatment. The information science component highlights topics such as information exchange, disease registries and privacy and plays a key role in healthcare reform efforts. The range of opportunities is wide, from epidemiology with an information science bent to developing web portals and smartphone apps. For information specialists interested in applying public health issues in their work or pursuing public health informatics, a variety of educational opportunities are available, ranging from webinars and single courses through post-doctoral fellowships, sponsored by the Public Health Informatics Institute, the National Library of Medicine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and others.
Brief Introduction to the Field
While many are familiar with the more clinically driven specialties such as medical or nursing informatics, PHI is a relatively new field. But what exactly is PHI, and how does it distinguish itself in the health informatics world?
Broadly stated, PHI can be defined as "the systematic application of information and computer science and technology to public health practice, research and learning." [1, p. 68] Regardless of the health domain, all informatics subspecialties apply the informatics pyramid, the relationship and transformation of data, information and knowledge, to making decisions and solving problems [2]. In contrast to a health IT professional working specifically on troubleshooting technology or infrastructure issues, a PHI specialist leverages information and computer science to support public health goals and decision-making and defines the "how and why" science behind the technological tool or approach [3].
As a profession and a discipline, in general, public health focuses on "population and society's role in monitoring and achieving good health and quality of life." [4] That is, in contrast to the more clinically oriented health (and informatics) disciplines, public health focuses on the health of populations versus that of individuals and on prevention in lieu of treatment. It addresses vulnerable points in the causal chain of health problems and considers governmental/policy contexts [1].
As a field, public health is inherently interdisciplinary and collaborative. PHI is no different, applying a range of disciplines, including information science, engineering, law and the social sciences, to public health issues and processes [3]. Therefore, public health issues and responses draw a diverse group of skill sets to the table, and information scientists are especially well suited to this call.
Information scientists and data analysts may find this branch of informatics especially appealing because it naturally deals with gathering, managing and analyzing large datasets. Practitioners in this field also have much in common with information scientists who are interested in the relationships among information, communication and behavior change. Public health professionals may find a way to enhance their work through cutting-edge applications as well as traditional systems methodology.
While initially focused on disease surveillance and epidemiology, opportunities for applying informatics skills to public health have expanded with the development of information and communication technologies, changes in policy and creative approaches to information and communication needs as well as public health interventions. Examples of the variety of these opportunities and roles were evident in the recent American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) fall 2012 conference pre-symposium event entitled "Current Issues in Population Health Informatics for Healthcare and Public Health." Late-breaking topics ranged from information exchange (among clinical care, public health and health departments), disease registries, Web 2.0 technologies and public health, privacy and ethical implications and the impact of government policy on public health and informatics. Presenters were from various educational backgrounds and institutional affiliations and were drawn from the federal government, private healthcare industry, local and state health departments, non-profits and academic institutions.
The various health informatics subspecialty areas are distinguished from one another by the content and principles of their domains (that is, whether "medical" or "bio" or "public health"), as well as through the "differing natures and challenges of their informatics applications". [1, p. 69] These points are useful in framing differences between PHI and other informatics discipline approaches. The recent policy implications of the HITECH/Affordable Care Act (ACA) offer one example. It motivates the adoption of the electronic health record (EHR) through incentives that are based on attesting to the meaningful use of data collected by the EHRs, including for public health purposes, such as immunization or disease registries or surveillance of data to detect disease outbreaks [5]. This program offers opportunities and challenges for both the clinical and PHI approach. Whereas clinical informatics specialties may focus on in-hospital EHR adoption and necessary specifications important to patient care, public health entities may consider how to access and meaningfully analyze and apply such data to population-level health questions and problems. But both involve an application of health informatics principles – including to such issues as system design, system selection and the ability of the systems to connect and share data through standards and interoperability.
The HITECH/ACA is but one specific, timely example of the potential of PHI. The true range of opportunities offered through PHI is as varied as the topics studied and addressed by the field of public health and as varied as the methods and approaches offered by the field of informatics. Regardless of career role or industry type and location, there are many opportunities to put PHI principles to work: an epidemiologist at the state or local level can learn how to connect to disease outbreak information via a health information exchange (HIE); a health communication specialist at the federal level can design smartphone apps to address chronic disease; an IT administrator at a private health institution may consider the privacy implications of putting health data in the cloud; an academic librarian can develop a web portal to deliver timely information to disaster responders. In short, whether you might wish to focus solely on a career as a PHI specialist, apply PHI principles to your work or apply your skills to public health problems, there is a place for you.
Training and Opportunities
A variety of educational experiences and opportunities in PHI are available for professionals and students, with a range of time and monetary commitment, from professional associations, webinars/virtual events or short courses to traditional academic programs and training fellowships. Several organizations provide formal and informal training and opportunities to learn more about PHI, including the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Library of Medicine (NLM), the Public Health Informatics Institute (PHII) and the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH). The following list is not meant to be exhaustive, but selected and timely opportunities are described below.
Online Resources/Webinars/Virtual Events. Many governmental and nongovernmental organizations and professional associations provide webinars and online resources for those who want to "get their feet wet" in PHI without the time or financial constraints of physically attending courses or conferences. They offer an opportunity to learn about the variety of intersections between applications of public health and information science and informatics approaches. AMIA, NACCHO [7] and the CDC are just a few offering PHI webinars as well as archived access to some of those events.
During the spring of 2013, the CDC National Prevention Information Network (NPIN) hosted a series of free, live webinars under the theme "In the Know: Social Media for Public Health." The webinars covered topics including the technology, applications and evaluation of a variety of social media channels, ranging from Twitter to YouTube. Archived versions of these webinars and slides are available at the CDC NPIN website (www.cdcnpin.org/scripts/features/feature_itk.asp).
One exciting, upcoming opportunity, which requires no geographic or financial commitment from the participant, is a national PHI web conference. The CDC, the National Association of County & City Health Officials (NACCHO) and Association of State Health Officials (ASTHO) are sponsoring the free Public Health Informatics Virtual Event, July 16–18, 2013. This year's theme is "Strengthening Public Health – Health Care Collaboration" and topics will include policy and practice, research and innovation and evidence-based practice. Conference information is available at www.cdc.gov/virtual/PHIVirtualEvent2013.html
Short Courses. The Public Health Informatics Institute (PHII), a program of the Task Force for Global Health, offers training and an Informatics Academy to advance their mission of improving "health outcomes worldwide by transforming health practitioners' ability to apply information effectively." During the summer of 2013, the PHII Informatics Academy is offering an online, 8-week short course in conjunction with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The course, "Designing and Managing Public Health Information Systems: 8 Steps to Success," will cover the information technology (IT) lifecycle. Find out more about the short course or other opportunities from PHII at www.phii.org/
AMIA also offers a variety of informatics virtual courses through the 10×10 program, whose goal is to train 10,000 health professionals in 10 years. These courses are conducted in collaboration with partner academic institutions across the country and are offered with a variety of start dates across the calendar year. While the courses are offered online, participants have the opportunity for intensive in-person sessions, typically aligned with AMIA or other professional meetings. Interested participants may sign up for individual courses, typically lasting three to four months. Course dates and topics may vary throughout the calendar year. Find out more at www.amia.org/education/10×10-courses
Although not public health specific, through the Woods Hole Medical Informatics course, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) fully sponsors health or information professionals in a week-long intensive survey course on the application of computer technologies and information science in the health sciences. The National Library of Medicine also offers grant opportunities for a variety of informatics training, with a range of possibilities including conference grants, early career development, research-specific training support and small business grants. Find out more about the Woods Hole course and these additional informatics funding opportunities at www.nlm.nih.gov/grants.html
Professional Associations. Professional associations provide an opportunity for professional networking and continuing education through association meetings, and their websites are often good places to start to get to know more about current hot topics. The American Public Health Association (APHA) and the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) are at the forefront of the public health and informatics fields. Both associations have specialty groups bringing together those with a shared interest in public health, information technology and informatics. After exploring these larger organizations, you may find additional conference or networking opportunities as you gravitate toward specific concentrations or topics, for example at an mHealth summit (www.mhealthsummit.org/).
The American Public Health Association (APHA) offers members access to the "oldest, largest and most diverse organization of public health professionals in the world." Through the Health Informatics Information Technology (HIIT) section, the vision is to "promote, enhance public awareness and formulate policies on best application and/or methods of information technology and informatics for use in public health" (www.apha.org/membergroups/sections/aphasections/hiit/).
The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) is composed of professionals from a variety of informatics subspecialties and provides a forum for those interested in informatics to develop working relationships with each other. By joining AMIA's 500-member Public Health Informatics Working Group (PHI-WG) (www.amia.org/programs/working-groups/public-health-informatics), you have access to listserv discussions, as well as a network of colleagues at the forefront of this field. The AMIA PHI-WG also hosts educational opportunities, such as webinars on a variety of PHI topics, as well as the "Current Issues" pre-symposium event mentioned above. Those interested in PHI, as well as presentations from the pre-symposium, are encouraged to review the proceedings available through the PHI-WG website.
Traditional Academic Programs and Training Fellowships. Finally, traditional academic programs and training fellowships offer formal ways for those interested to gain in-depth training, skills and experience in PHI. Academic institutions offer a variety of levels of training and focus areas in health informatics, including individual courses, graduate certificates, masters and doctoral training, both online and face-to-face. Post-graduation, several fellowships are available to augment the training and experience of informatics and public health professionals.
Some academic informatics programs may take a general approach to health informatics or specialize in specific subspecialties such as biomedical/clinical, bioinformatics, translational and PHI. While there is currently no accreditation process, selected institutions offer a public health informatics-specific focus. Conduct an Internet search or visit the AMIA website for a list of many health informatics and PHI training programs (www.amia.org/education/programs-and-courses).
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) supports pre-doctoral, post-doctoral and short-term (three months) funded informatics research training at selected academic institutions across the country. Fourteen "University-based Biomedical Informatics Research Training Programs" cover up to four areas of emphasis: health care, translational, clinical research and PHI. To find out more about the program, and the institutions focusing on PHI, visit www.nlm.nih.gov/ep/GrantTrainInstitute.html.
Through the Applied Public Health Informatics Fellowship (APHIF), the CDC, in collaboration with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE), the Association of State Health Officials (ASTHO), the Public Health Informatics Institute (PHII) and the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH), offers fellows on-the-ground experience at the state or local level. This one-year fellowship is an accelerated training program for recent graduates of informatics (or related) masters or doctoral programs, with an interest in the practice of public health. More information is available at www.aphif.org/.
In the two-year CDC Public Health Informatics Fellowship Program (PHIFP), fellows experience an intensive orientation to the CDC, public health and PHI. This orientation is followed by short-term assignments at the CDC and with public health partners (domestically or internationally) geared towards solving PHI problems. Graduates will be prepared to assume leadership roles in creating and evaluating PHI projects. Interested applicants should have masters or doctoral level training, informatics, public health and research experience. More information is available at www.cdc.gov/PHIFP.
PHI holds opportunities for those who wish to become informatics specialists or those who would like to more fully apply informatics skills in their own public health work. Many public health organizations, including the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH), the Public Health Foundation (PHF) and the Association of State Health Officials (ASTHO) [4] [7] [8], among others, have begun defining and highlighting the importance of informatics competencies for public health professionals. Opportunities exist at many levels for interested students and professionals to gain more exposure to and proficiency in PHI. I welcome your interest, involvement and leadership in this exciting and growing field and invite your suggestions on other training and professional opportunities in PHI.
I would like to give special thanks to Rachel Graber for her support with this manuscript.

Reviews of this property
My daughter and her partner went to the appartment. Picking up the keys was easy and convenient. Location of the appartment couldn't be better, near the metro and supermarket. Inside it was really noisy, next to a heavy door that people banged shut. Two of the nights the neighbours upstairs moved furniture around for more than an hour around 2.30 in the morning it was terrible. When you are out all day walking you really need to sleep.
A nice little lamp would be cosy instead of the bright light.
nice apartment, quiet and clean
bell'appartamento, posto tranquillo e pulito
Very good treatment response and solution to all our needs.
Muy buen trato con respuesta y solución a todas nuestras necesidades.
All the best, keys worked smoothly, apartment clean and found as described. Only the necessary aeration reduces the maximum number by one point. Anytime again when an even-time stay in Milan is pending. Thank Filiberto
Alles bestens, Schlüsselübergabe hat reibungslos funktioniert, Wohnung sauber und wie beschrieben vorgefunden. Einzig das notwendige Durchlüften mindert die Höchstanzahl um einen Punkt. Immer wieder gerne wenn ein nochmaliger Aufenthalt in Mailand ansteht. Danke Filiberto
I had a pleasure of staying in this appartment with my friends. A great location with comfortable transportation both to center and to the Central station (Milano Centrale). We have even walked to the Doumo plaza, which takes 30 to 40 minutes in slow pace.
I would reccomend this appartment to my friends.
Lamia express satisfaction with the stay at the apartment Scarampo Via P. Vigliani of Milan. Unique notes to emphasize are:
1 - Lack of a real gas stove (for a family with small children becomes relevant).
2 - Lack of TV.
Widely timely and satisfactory service and assistance from Mr. Marcello.
Esprimo lamia soddisfazione per il soggiorno presso l'appartamento Scarampo di Via P. Vigliani di Milano. Unici appunti da sottolineare sono:
1- mancanza di una vera cucina a gas (per una famiglia con bambini piccoli diventa rilevante).
2- mancanza della tv.
Ampiamente puntuale e soddisfacente il servizio e l'assistenza da parte del Sig. Marcello.
We had a good time during our stay in Milan.
Apartment in order throughout, good heat, good linen, everything in working order and spotlessly clean.
The only sour note the absence of a television.
Siamo stati bene durante la nostra permanenza a Milano.
Appartamento in ordine di tutto, calore ottimo, biancheria ottima, tutto in ordine e perfettamente pulito.
Unica nota dolente l'assenza di un televisore.

So I just realized that I didn't introduce myself, I just went about posting with a total disregard of forum decorum (ha = that rhymes!) . My apologies.
My name is Matt and my buddy Shortimer52 directed me to this site. I have been a Fett fan for a long time, mainly because he had no backstory. I now have my leg below the knee covered in Fett tattoos.
Soon I will begin with a bucket to start with. Just wanted to say thank you for this site and the great info it has.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
My concern is the offense. Our defense is not made to stop defenses from scoring below 20 points but at the same time, our defense should give up 30 points and not that much more long as our offense is being productive and it is not.
I think we have 13 sacks and the Jets have 27..............EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW What a stink.......smells like something died under the porch

Donna Karan Pre-Fall 2012
Hand in hand with her work as a designer, Donna Karan has long crusaded for social good—advocating for, among other things, cancer research, children's education, and Haiti, where she's making tireless efforts to build a sustainable, artisan-driven economy.
But recently she's decided to focus on what she calls "event-aholics." "I'm starting a program," Karan deadpanned Wednesday morning at a pre-fall presentation, having gone to a movie screening on Sunday, hosted an exhibition preview with Russell James and Hugh Jackman on Monday, and attended another event on Tuesday. "I think Vera [Wang] was out later than me last night."
It's a lighthearted solution to an issue Karan understands perhaps better than anyone: Women are taking on a lot. And if she can't start a worldwide recovery group (although at this point we wouldn't put it past her), she can at least empower women through clothes. This is what her pre-fall collection was about.
And it's really what her whole career has been about, but this season stood out in particular for its utterly sophisticated simplicity: well-tailored, single-button blazers with stretch to allow for the various acrobatics required during a sixteen-hour day; skirts that hit just below the knee made sexy with slits that venture just above; and beautiful dresses with deep V-necks, soft chiffon pleats, and oversize bows at the waist that double as pockets (an unsung but not unappreciated feature for any multitasker). "It's all those things you really want to have," Karan said before extolling the versatility of a white bustier and black jumpsuit. "It's like the new body. During the day you wear a blazer over it, then take it off and"—what else?—"go to an event at night."

Compare Child Support attorneys near you. Read reviews, see Avvo Ratings, and contact them directly.
Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
If you are a parent and you divorce, the parent the child lives with often receives money (child support) from the parent no longer living with the child. Unlike alimony, which is paid to maintain an ex-spouse's lifestyle, child support pays for the child's physical, emotional, and educational needs. A child support lawyer can help parents negotiate and calculate child support, either by agreement or in court. While national guidelines to calculate child support amounts exist, you or the judge may choose to calculate the amount based on your income and the child's needs. If you believe you are not the father of a child and want to contest a child support claim, a child support lawyer can also help you determine paternity. A child support lawyer can be useful during negotiations to help objectively determine the most appropriate amount of child support for your situation and protect against paternity fraud.

Surprisingly strong third quarter same store sales growth at Chico's was attributed to a blend of compelling fall fashion assortments and effective marketing.
Same store sales at the Chico's and Soma Intimate brands division increased 11.6% while the White House Black Market division increased 6.4%. The solid sales growth enabled the company to record net income that grew 57.4% to $41.7 million, or 25 cents per share, compared to $26.5 million, or 16 cents a share. Even if some non-recurring acquisition and integration costs related to last year's purchase of Boston Proper are excluded profits still increased 38.9% to 25 cents a share from 18 cents a share, the company's best third quarter performance since 2005.
"Overall, our unique leading edge fashion and innovative marketing continue to drive significant achievements, including a double-digit increase in new customers and increases in both average dollar sales and transactions," CEO David Dyer said during a conference call. "These results mark our 14th consecutive quarter of comparable sales increases and the 15th consecutive quarter of double-digit earnings per share growth, demonstrating a consistent level of strong performance."
Year to date, Chico's has opened 111 new stores, of which 60 are outlet locations. It ended the quarter with 614 stores and 99 outlets under its Chico's brand, 401 White House Black Market stores, 194 stores and 16 outlets under the Soma Intimates banner and the recently acquired high end, direct to consumer brand Boston Proper.

The future of test cricket in New Zealand is on very shaky ground according to the country's greatest ever bowler.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Sir Richard Hadlee said that the focus on one-day cricket - exacerbated by the riches the Indian Premier League offers to Kiwi cricketers - has left him gloomy over the future of the game in New Zealand.
"Our test record has been very poor," he said. "[Director of cricket] John Buchanan has said clearly focus is on the one-day game. Resources will go into that. Crowds are not turning up and it is a pity the test game is suffering. The biggest problem we are seeing with our test players is they are getting confused how to play different forms of the game.
"We are technically exposed. Test cricket here needs a lot more resources put into it. Our domestic cricket is not strong enough. With the money that is available in one-day cricket the emphasis for some players is to say 'that is what I want to play more of' and they go to India and other leagues.
The difficulty is they will get burnt out or get into more bad habits and that creates mediocrity in other forms of the game."
Hadlee, 61, was replaced as the Black Caps' chairman of selectors in 2008 and hasn't watched a game of cricket in New Zealand since then. But he has kept up to date with the news, and described Mike Hesson's removal in November of captain Ross Taylor as "appalling timing".
"If there is to be harmony in the side depends on whether Ross Taylor is included because clearly there have been different factions: those supporting Taylor and those supporting another captain.
"The important thing from Ross Taylor's point of view is to get his head space right. It is going to be an uneasy time if and when he comes back in the side. The way the team performed in South Africa in the one-dayers [they won the 50-over series] shows there is harmony. The results were very good in that one-day series but it is a testing time that lies ahead."
In Taylor's absence New Zealand were hammered in the Test series by South Africa; they were dismissed for 45 in one innings and are ranked eighth by the ICC, making England strong favourites for the Test series which starts on March 5.
"By making a decision to replace Ross Taylor as captain, Mike Hesson has shown he has got balls because John Buchanan is the director of cricket here and is a pro-Taylor man, but the coach he helped get his job has gone against his decision-making.
"Whether it is the right or wrong decision is to be determined but it is the process and how it was done that has caused the most animosity."
New Zealand only has one test series victory in 17 at home over England. That came in 1983-84 when Jeremy Coney, Martin and Jeff Crowe and Ian Smith made their maiden test centuries and Hadlee topped the bowling averages with 12 wickets at 19.33.
What Hesson would give for five test centuries and a Hadlee-esque performance off the short run in March.

By Leslie Drahos
Landowners in rural Scotts Bluff County in the Nebraska Panhandle can be sure of three things in their lives: death, taxes, and weeds.
Jeff Schledewitz, superintendent of the county's Weed Control Authority , can't fight the first two, but weeds are another issue.
As a county employee, Schledewitz's No. 1 responsibility is weed control. His job was mandated in 1966 under Nebraska's Noxious Weed Control Act, which requires that each county appoint an entity with the authority to control noxious — harmful and destructive — weeds.
Unlike most counties across the nation, where vegetation maintenance on public land is handled by a roads department and funded by tax dollars, Schledewitz's jurisdiction covers all county land, public and private. Most of his operation's income comes from charging landowners for spraying.
"We do have some county funding, about $80,000," he says. "Everything else is brought in through commercial application on private land, probably in excess of $200,000."
The authority charges a flat rate of $65/hour. "The full bill is the landowner's responsibility," says Schledewitz. "Costs depend on the price of the chemicals we use and how much time we spend on the job."
Spraying private land is nothing new for the county. "My two predecessors also did commercial chemical application," says Schledewitz. "So I just took over where they left off. In our area there are no private contractors doing that type of work, so it's a good fit for us."
In counties where there are private commercial sprayers, Schledewitz says local government should step back and let those companies do the job. But spraying by a public agency becomes a matter of necessity when private companies aren't available. Private landowners have neither the time nor the equipment to take care of the problem.
"Our specialized vehicles can get into hard-to-reach areas," says Schledewitz. "We have a half-dozen pickup trucks with 300-gallon spray tanks; two small utility machines; a six-wheel John Deere Gator with a 100-gallon tank that gets into bogs and wet areas; and a compact Kubota with a 75-gallon tank that gets into real tight areas. In the summer we hire up to five seasonal employees to do chemical application."
Roadside weeds come under Schledewitz's jurisdiction, too. "We control noxious weeds on county roadsides, properties, and cemeteries," he explains. "We do the spraying [while] the roads and bridges department builds, maintains, mows, and removes snow."
Together, the two departments manage 810 miles of gravel and 160 miles of paved roads.
Inspection and enforcement
Every year the Weed Control Authority inspects all land in its jurisdiction to determine the presence of noxious weeds, and advises landowners on control. In addition, the department informs the public that weed seed and propagative parts may spread through the movement of machinery and equipment, trucks, grain and seed, hay, straw, nursery stock, fencing materials, sod, manure, and soil. Farmers who want their hay certified as free of noxious material can call the authority before cutting the crop.
"If your hay passes inspection, we will certify it as weed-free," he says.
Born and raised on a farm in the Scotts Bluff area, Schledewitz has cultivated a good working relationship with farmers and landowners.
Lethal Beauties
Pretty they may be, but noxious weeds decimate crop yields and can poison people, livestock, and wildlife. Losses from infestations can be staggering, costing farmers and other landowners millions of dollars and eroding the tax base for all residents.
"I know most of the people in the area," he says. "A lot of times people don't even know about an infestation; we have a lot of out-of-state landowners here. Most often, if you call or write a letter, the problem will be resolved."
For the rare individual who ignores legal notice of noxious weeds on their lands — maybe 10 people at most in as many years — the law requires Schledewitz to give the landowner 15 days to control the infestation, after which non-compliance may result in a $100/day fine up to a maximum of $1,500.
"We can force-spray and attach the cost to their property taxes," he says. "I have the authority to muscle my way in, but I don't believe in that. If I call somebody and visit with them, that goes a lot further than trying to knock the door down. We aim to get along with everybody."

Verndale edges PR-B spikers
The Pine River-Backus Tigers' varsity volleyball team started its season with at the Verndale Pirates, and narrowly lost in five games by scores of 26-24, 23-25, 25-13, 25-19, 15-9, in non-conference action on Thursday, Aug. 29.
The first game was close as the Tigers controlled it at the beginning, but Verndale slowly worked their way back up until, with the Tigers ahead 20-14, they went on a seven point run to tie the game.
Verndale took the lead 23-21 after getting two kills in a row, the Tigers tied it again with a kill by Megan Porta and an out-of-bounds call against the Pirates.
Verndale got to 24 first to force the first game point, but the Tigers managed to hold it off with a kill by Lily Wiemann. Unfortunately, Verndale answered with two points for the win 26-24.
In the second game, with the score tied 5-5, the Tigers went on an eight point run, including a kill and a block for a kill by Megan Felthous, a kill by Wiemann, and two ace serves by Porta.
Once again Verndale slowly came back until they tied the game 23-23, but this time the Tigers came out on top as they scored two points, including another ace by Porta, and won the game 25-23.
The third game was not a good one for the Tigers as they kept it close until the score was 5-5, then gave up a five point run to Verndale and were unable to catch up again. The Tigers lost 13-25.
The fourth game was another close one as the Tigers went ahead 10-7 but lost their lead 10-11. With Verndale ahead 16-14, the Tigers came back with a five point run including kills by Felthous and Wiemann.
With the score 21-19, the Tigers got a four point run, including a set-kill by Journee Howard and a block for a kill by Porta, to take the win 25-19.
In the fifth game Verndale got the first two points, but the Tigers took the lead 4-2. Verndale re-took the lead 5-4, the Tigers tied it 5-5, and Verndale went ahead 8-5.
The Tigers came back on a kill by Wiemann and an out of bounds by the Pirates to make the score 7-8, but Verndale answered with a five point run to make the score 13-7.

Kayla Adkins 1 kill, 10 digs.

I just started this year and have two hives underway. Both have been performing well with excellent queens.
Today, I did my weekly inspection and as soon as I smoked the entrance on the hotter of the two hives, I thought something I was wrong. I think it swarmed.
There are clearly fewer bees in this hive than there were last week, and I could find very little sign of recently-laid eggs. There was some capped brood and some larvae. Lots of empty brood cells that likely hatched in the last week. I did not see the queen anywhere.
As I pulled through the first box, I noticed two capped queen cells at the bottom of one frame. There were several other queen cells near to being capped at the bottom of frames in the top box.
This would seem to me like a swarm. This was a new package I installed on April 14. It's been a good spring here, and the flow really kicked in over the last 7-10 days.
I'm debating (a) just letting the queen cells hatch and the hive proceed on its own; or (b) ordering a new queen and introducing it and then pulling the frame with the queen cells and dropping it into a nuc along with a frame of brood, pollen and some honey.

Poetry and Children Day scheduled for May 21
More than 415 students from 33 schools and 11 school districts will meet at 10 a.m. Wednesday, May 21, in the Anderson Center Concert Theater at Binghamton University for the 26th annual Poetry and the Children Day.
Poetry and the Children Day, which brings students together for a day of poetry readings, was established as a memorial to Robert Pawlikowski. A published poet, creative writing instructor and campus administrative assistant, Pawlikowski drowned in 1975 while on vacation with his family. The event is a tribute to the efforts Pawlikowski made during his lifetime in nurturing the expressive and intellectual powers of his students as well as those of his own children.
This year's guest poet is Jan Quakenbush, an editor, director, poet, teacher and playwright whose work has been performed nationally and internationally. Quakenbush, who has conducted writer's workshops across the United States as well as in England, Germany and Canada, is an adjunct professor at Broome Community College and leads a writer's workshop at Barnes and Noble in Vestal, New York.
After the opening presentation, students will present their poems in the Lecture Hall. Each student participating in the event will receive a copy of an anthology created from the original works. Partially underwritten by the Oakdale Mall and Susan Clark-Johnson, the anthology is prepared by the Office of the Dean of Harpur College and distributed to teachers and local libraries. Susan Clark-Johnson is a 1967 Binghamton University graduate and former publisher of the Binghamton Evening Press, the predecessor to the Binghamton Press & Sun- Bulletin.

Estimating Projects give people the fits. On one hand, you have to know when things are going to get done and how much they are going to cost. On the other hand, estimating projects looks a lot like magic from the outside.
I've been successfully estimating and teaching people how to estimate projects for a long time, and if you've read Part 1 in this series, you're ready for some tips and tricks of estimating.
- Use Relative Sizes - If you can help it, never estimate how long something will take to get done. We can hold that off for part 3. For now, just figure out how tough each thing is to deliver compared to the other things . That's called relative size, or relative complexity. There are lots of reasons that relative size beats duration estimates. The one I like the most is that relative size asks is a much more easy question to ask than how long something is going to take to deliver. This means it's easier to accomplish. It also means that you can do the part about delivery in a separate step. Remember: lots of little, easy things instead of one big complicated thing.
- Beware of Anchoring - the human mind can only compare so many things at once, and it can only conceive of a certain range of things. If I had a dozen items on my backlog that were all small, like changing UI elements or moving buttons around, and then I had something huge, like creating a learning algorithm to master the stock market, my team won't be able to adequately compare them. They will have become "anchored" on the small items, so when the huge item comes up it will either be estimated way too small or way too big. What happens early in an exercise sets people up for what happens later.
This has huge implications for backlogs in general, but for now, just remember to try to keep the range of relative sizes small. Some folks use High, Medium, and Low (H/M/L). Some folks use geometric numbers, like 1, 10 ,100, 1000. Some folks use the Fibonacci sequence (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ...) There's nothing magical about any of these, save for the fact that there is a small number of discrete choices (you have to pick one of the options), and the choices are separated by a significant (or growing) amount.
I I want to make my life more complicated than it needs to be -- and isn't that fun! -- I'll use a two-level H/M/L system set on top of a Fibonacci sequence. So first the team splits up the items into High, Medium, and Low. Then we take a second pass for all of the highs and split them into High-Low, High-Medium, and High-High. Same goes for the Mediums and Lows. This gives me a range of nine positions, which would normally be way too much, but because I am asking for two sorts of three ranges each, it still works without undue anchoring. As a final step we go through and cross-check to make sure the sort makes sense to everybody. Remember whatever you do, as you get good at this it shouldn't take more than an hour or so, hopefully much less. If you're taking more time than that, your project has significant risks that need to be addressed before you go on. (By the way, that's completely normal, especially in first-time projects. Team members will have lots of questions and want to address lots of risk. Be prepared to spend some time on this during your first estimation. Estimation drives out conversation, which creates team understanding and resolves conflict and risk. It's not just about picking numbers out of a hat. Remember that everything we do is to drive out conversation and understanding.)
- Estimate Each Item Individually - Lots of PMs want to create a dependency chart before estimating, with Task C dependent on Task B which is dependent on Task A and F.

Kakabollocks is a socially acceptable equivalent to cruder swearwords such as shit and fuck. The word conveys a similar meeting in a lighthearted way that can used be used amongst, friends, immediate family and slightly crabby older relatives.
I was speaking to Cat at the weekend and she was having a drink to cheer up, apparently her week had gone to Kakabollocks.

As much as I would LOVE to say that we are SNOWED IN I sadly can not. We are more or less basically rained in. I am so tired of the rain and ready for the snow...hopefully soon? Anyways to get us ready for the snow I decided to search Pinterest to find some fun winter craft ideas to do with my boys. Here are two easy and fun ones that we did.
The first one we did was a name snowman. It really helps to have everything cut out ahead of time, especially if you have little ones who are going to be doing the crafts. If you have older kids who you trust with scissors then you can let them cut out their own shapes. What you need is circles. One for each letter of their name as well as one more for the head of the snowman. Then you will need the basics...eyes, nose, mouth, arms, hat etc... and last a piece of long skinny paper to be used as the back ground.
I put glue on the paper where the pieces were supposed to go and let my boys put the pieces on. They are similar yet have their own angles. Once they get older and understand what they are doing a little better then they can do their own gluing.
Here are our finished snowmen. I think they are adorable and its a great thing to use for letter and name recognition. My 3 year old will say something like "Hey Zekey has my 'E' in his name" which is pretty cute!
The next craft is really easy to do as well. All it takes are a couple of empty jars. We used plastic peanut butter jars...I have boys...these get thrown around A LOT! But they love playing with them. Then you will need a lot of cotton balls and some pieces of snowman body parts cut out (eyes, nose, arms and mouth).After they are finished stuffing their jars you can give them the body parts. This was hard for my boys to do and I ended up doing most of this part but they still had fun with them. You slid the arms in on the sides between the jar and the cotton balls then you do the rest of the items. We had the jars pretty full so it was hard to get them in there.
but they turned out pretty cute! You can use a bow or an old sock as a hat. We didn't bother with that because I knew it would have just gotten ripped off but my boys still love to play with these jarred snowmen!

Where ya been? You ready to be in 2nd place soon?
Lin saved your *** but then again I got lucky with Amare not playing.
Amare not playing AND Billups done for the year
mad busy at work. Left early Tues for metlife, took off wed, plus when i been here i been busy, and my mom is in the hospital again so just been hectic
Sorry to hear that man. Glad you are ok though. Billups killed ya. He was playing so well. We will both be in the playoffs for sure though. I hate how none of your boys set the team. Half the league is playing and the other half doesn't give a ****. Kind of lame but oh well. It's still fun owning you!
premature ejaculation of the mouth? 100 points with 3 days to go?
allllrighty then
You have a good chance of beating me. I was not speaking of this week. Just in general fantasy sports. I am not predicting the future, I just said I would finish above you again this year. Manu is coming back this week. You should have grabbed him again earlier. Who is Slaughterhouse? He will probably win the league.

People who have lost control of their finances are always in dire need to regain control and are constantly seeking advice; from friends and experts. Clearing of debts requires a lot of work and discipline, the monthly payments must be paid on time and be organized as well, so it's only logical to have a debt repayment plan with or without professional help.
We can be able to come up with debt management solutions on our own and manage to pay off our debts as fast as we incurred them. A lot of extra work is required to get rid of unpaid bills and at the same time maintain a stable way of living. This can be done by having other means of getting more income and using the extra cash to pay overdue bills; it's advisable to start by paying small overdue bills which tend to be forgotten till they become a big problem. The debtor can also decide to spend less of his monthly income in order to pay off more of his debts.
Consolidating overdue balances is another debt management solution to managing debts. Combining overdue bills and balances into one is not a way of adding a debt or a loan on top of other debts but it helps in reducing the interest rates as well as reducing multiple payments into one monthly 'bill'. While this might lengthen the payment duration due to the lowering of monthly payments, it helps in freeing up money that the debtor requires in staying out of trouble with money.
When you cannot manage to pay your debts on your own, there is always the option of consulting with a debt relief company. They set up a personalized account whereby they take into account all your financial details; debts, assets, income etc, income vs. expenditure, and the debt advisors come up with a plan for you to manage your debts. A maintenance fee and a setting up account fee is charged but well worth it compared to fees paid in a bankruptcy case.
Debt News all about debt the TV is full of hardship any further help and advice then contact DFH direct and see if a debt management program is for you

News: Centegra looks for pets to use in animal assisted therapy
Centegra Health System's Caring Paws Program is looking for a few good dogs. Each year one million lives are touched by the comfort and healing of a therapy animal visit.
Centegra has offered animal assisted therapy for many years and is working to increase the number of patients visited by the furry friends. The Caring Paws Program is offering an animal assisted therapy class from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 8 at Centegra Hospital-McHenry.
Participating dogs must have basic obedience skills and love meeting new people. Upon successful completion of the two-part program the handler and his or her dog will be eligible for national registration through the Pet Partners, a leading international resource for the human-animal bond.
Katherine Feuillan, coordinator of Animal Assisted Therapy at Centegra Health System, said studies have shown that animals can develop such strong bonds with people that the interactions between the two have proven to be a huge benefit in the healing process of patients.
"Therapy dogs are an aid in that they help to fill needs that cannot be met in other ways," Feuillan said. "They are a source of unconditional love and concentrated attention that provides relief, a stimulus for exercise and also gives much pleasure to patients."
Feuillan added that many patients are motivated to work harder toward their recovery with animal therapy because it is more fun than working solely with a human therapist.
The cost of the animal assisted therapy classes is $100. Attendance s required for participation in the evaluation. Registration and payment must be received by Monday, June 3. For more information or to register, call 815-759-4334.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
should have retired it yesterday..
I think that, in addition to the ring of honor, you have special "number" ceremonies for the players that REALLY deserve it for their contributions, but not necessarily officially retiring the number, just leaving it out for a while and re-issue it several decades down the line.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
I don't care if the D-line has to wear numbers in the 30's (i know this can't happen) Strahan absolutely deserves his number retired. He's given a lot more then his play on the field to this franchise. My all time favorite Giant

We spent a nice time in this town and in particular in this appartement. The location of the appartement is perfect (about 10 min by feet from the Ramblas) and very well equiped (Internet, towels, hair dryer, ...). We also were very happy to find soap, dishwashing liquid,...). Thank you Esther for your friendly welcome and the quality of your appartement.

I wonder if planting mint and thyme border around an apiary would help fend off varroa?
I read that menthol and thymol that these two plants produce affects varroa somewhat.
Even if it isn't 100% effective if probably can't hurt.
I know lots of bugs hate garlic and onions. I wonder if those have also ever been used?
Please don't blame me if your honey tastes like onions. It's just that I'm sure some plants
must be helpfull in deterring bugs that crawl without effecting bug that can fly over them.
Kind of like a castle wall. Of course the plants would have to have no affects on the bees
or their products.

Since I'm just starting backspin, and I know its a skill that many skaters struggle/obssess/SCREAM over, I'd appreciate any advice and pearls of wisdom those of you who can perform this skill can offer. I just started it, and I'm getting the "three turn fold" and getting backwards at least. What do you suggest?
Thanks a bunch!!!
