Reviews of this property
We stayed in Marco´s appartment with four persons. The appartment is well equipped and clean. WIFI works and is fast.The appartment is very near by the tram station to Florence historic center. We can absolutly recommend this appartment.
we had a wunderfull stay in florence in november in this cosy and comfortable flat. we liked the impressive paintings in all the rooms very much. thank you for all.
We are a mature couple (aged 60 years) and spent six weeks in the Bosi's apartment of art in Florence from med September till the and of October 2015. The apartment was very pleasant and well equipped, bright and furnished with great taste. The owner (in our case Sylvia Bosi) was really very kind, helpful and interested about our well-being. It was very easy to contact her and to speak English with her. The apartment itself is situated nicely and the two balconies are a great surplus for relaxation and enjoying the sunshine. Some of the most positive experiences in our case were the very easy, cheep and quick connection to the city center by tram (15 minutes from living room to the main train station), the good and important servíces (supermarket, washing of clothes, pharmacy, cafés) within 5 minutes from the apartment and the possibility to warm up the rooms with the air condition (in autumn it might be rather cool, wet and windy in Florence). Overall we had a very good time in the Bosi apartment.
This stay was absolutely marvellous. The apartment is well appointed, spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished and very close to nearby transport for the short trip to central Florence. Wish we had spent more time here! Very friendly service was an added bonus.
Its a lovely flat. very good location, just 3 mins from tram stop (4th from station). You got everything you needed (except Washing machine), Marco is very helpful. Wifi is very good and fast.
We had a great time in Florence at La Casa d'arte. Easily reachable with the tramway, and surrounded by stores, we found ourselves quickly at ease in the neighbourhood. We highly recommend this lovely flat and would come back any time ! We already miss the view from the balconies...
Our stay here was great! There is a supermarket nearby, tram station in front of the apartment, and nice accommodations. The host, Marco was also very nice waiting for us although we arrived near midnight. But just one thing we want to complain was that the internet didn't work during our whole entire stay. So we just relied on maps and some research we did back home for the places we wanted to visit. Despite that, everything was perfect and it was actually not quite a big fuss since we were away the whole day.
Highly recommended for any tourists who plan to visit Florence!
the apartment was wonderful, roomy, with spacious, well-equipped kitchen, distinctive atmosphere, supermarket close by, regular tram to train station within the historical centre, or twenty minutes' walk. the hosts were very helpful, yet unobtrusive. we were delighted.
We would like to thank Marco for his beautiful apartment. It was very clean, everything we needed, was present. The tramway stops directly by the apartment which is very useful! Oh, and we loved the balcony! We'd like to return in a couple of years to this wonderful apartment.With kind regard, Anne and friends.

CDC Joins Bird Flu Fight
The H7N9 influenza virus circulating in China has public health officials on edge.
It's the most lethal form of the virus they've seen in years, with one out of five infected patients dying from the illness.
Lab workers at the Centers for Disease Control's headquarters in Atlanta are working nonstop trying to develop a vaccine for H7N9.
So far those in China affected by the virus have had direct contact with infected but healthy-looking birds and there's no evidence the virus is spreading between humans, but the strain could mutate into a form that makes it contagious.
"If it develops the capacity to spread from one person to another, then it could cause very severe disease both in China and neighboring countries and around the world, including in the US," warns CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden.
It could take a year or more to develop a vaccine, and once it is available patients will likely need two shots to build immunity.
In the meantime, the CDC is alerting doctors to be on the lookout for cases among travelers so patients who test positive can be isolated immediately.
"There have already been two dozen travelers from China with severe illness in the US, we've tested them at CDC, all negative for this strain of flu," Dr. Frieden says.
Unlike past strains of bird flu H7N9 is not making birds sick, so it is hard to tell where the virus is spreading and which type of bird is infected.
If the virus does not mutate experts say H7N9 will likely not cause a pandemic.
Temporarily closing poultry markets, isolating infected patients and an active surveillance system could prevents its spread.

A Nassellarian Radiolarian
Radiolarians are planktonic sarcodines with silicate skeletons. While heterotrophic, many exploit symbiotic algae. Their phylogeny is relatively obscure and has led Colomban de Vargas to say 'They disturb the tree of life!'. This particular organism was difficult to photograph because the spicules seem to stick out in all possible directions. It was preserved with Lugol's and found in a sample from the NW Medit Sea at 30 m depth in October.

Wine and Spirits Near Clear Lake
Napa-Lake Stone Cottage and Pine Cone Cabin • Cobb, CA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two, Sundays through Thursdays ($229) or Fridays and Saturdays ($275) between Now and December 31, in the Pine Cone Cabin
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two, Sundays through Thursdays ($295) or Fridays and Saturdays ($345) between Now and June 15, in the Napa-Lake Stone Cottage with Bundle of Firewood

- Two-for-One Entrées at Rob Roy Creekside Grill
Cobb, California, is about as peaceful as it gets. It was, after all, the site the Maharishi chose to introduce his teachings of Transcendental Meditation in the early '70s. And Highway 175, which runs right through Cobb, made a cameo the same decade in another Zen-full book.
Today, this town of about 2,000 in Lake County is home to several spiritual retreat centers, outdoor activities aplenty, and the same mellow vibe that put it on the map 40 years ago. Peace be with you on this week's Escape to Cobb's Napa-Lake Stone Cottage or the Pine Cone Cabin.
You'll get a two-night stay for two, Sundays through Thursdays ($229) or Fridays and Saturdays ($275) between now and December 31, in the Pine Cone Cabin. Or, opt for a two-night stay for two, Sundays through Thursdays ($295) or Fridays and Saturdays ($345) between now and June 15, in the Napa-Lake Stone Cottage.
All options come with a waived cleaning fee and a welcome basket brimming with goodies, including a bottle of local wine, complimentary wine tastings for two at six-plus local wineries, a homegrown lavender sachet, discounts at local restaurants and coffee shops, and wine-touring maps. You'll also get two entrées for the price of one at Rob Roy Creekside Grill, known for its scrumptious Sunday brunches.
At the Napa-Lake Stone Cottage, you'll also get a bundle of firewood to keep cozy in the evenings.
Located just 25 miles from Calistoga and 15 miles from Clear Lake—putting it within bird's-eye view of wineries, water sports, golf, mountain biking, and hiking—these hilltop retreats are the perfect home base for experiencing Northern California.
At the Napa-Lake Stone Cottage, the knotty pine paneling, rustic stone fireplace, and large deck with a view of Cobb Mountain and the stars above will leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, while the Pine Cone Cabin, with windows on three sides, feels almost like a tree house.
When you're ready to branch out, you're less than an hour's drive from Napa and Sonoma, putting you in the heart of wine country. Plus, there's plenty to do right where you are, with restaurants, hot springs, coffee shops, and Cobb Mountain all within a few minutes' drive.
Before you leave, take a cruise down winding Highway 175. Even without a motorcycle, you'll find Zen on the hairpin turns that bisect the scenic Mayacamas Mountains. And you won't be the first to do so.
"[Cobb, California,] is well known for its quaint cottages and luxurious floral covered walkways. The town stands as one of the top 10 in Northern California in relation to its beauty and its cleanliness."-- Lake County Travel Guide

Not entirely sure where to post this, but I figured this was as good of a place as any.
Just to be sure I understand this correctly, the former doormat teams, will choose 30 players from the expansion draft, which is made up of players from those teams? And then the other 10 come from the Rookie Drafts and other subsequent PFA's, etc...?

$349 is a pretty good price - my local gun store has the LC9 for $379.
#1 isnt really about the LC9 is it? Isnt it more about the question of the 9mm ballistics? I believe the velocity generated from the LC9 vs the MP9 you mentioned is negligible.
#2 I believe concealed carry in any school or university is a federal offense - if you're talking about to/from I think you should be able to conceal the LC9 effectively.
#3 I'm pretty sure it's as accurate as the shooter. A recent gun-writer documented 2" groups at 25yds - much better than I can do at most ranges.
#4 The LC9 is rated for +P, but Ruger doesnt recommend a steady diet. Range time with regular loads, carry +P for self-defense.
The other point is that it is a spitting image of the Kel-Tec PF-9 which I have carried and shot for nearly 3 years. I would like to consider the LC9 because the sights are much better than the Kel-Tec PF-9 and it's got a very smooth "melt" for concealed carry.
However, there are a couple things that make the LC9 a less-than-best option for concealed carry:
1.) The LC9 has a thumb-flip safety similar to a 1911 - if you're used to the "thumb-high" grip on a 1911 then you might be ok with the safety on the LC9, otherwise your thumb could easily engage the slide-release, thus preventing lock-back on an empty magazine.
2.) The LC9 has an internal safety that prevents firing with the magazine out. This is a great measure, unless, in daily carry or in the heat of the moment you find yourself with a magazine that's not fully engaged.
I could probably build-in the muscle-memory to add an automatic thumb-flip to insure the safety is off when engaging a threat. However, the internal magazine safety I cannot recommend in a daily carry firearm.

Beoordelingen van deze accommodatie
Grote verdieping flat ligt zeer dicht bij de Fontana di Trevi met gracieuze, vriendelijke service! Alles was geweldig. Moet gewoon een beetje wachten, maar vanwege andere gasten.
Großartige DG-Wohnung sehr nah an der Fontana di Trevi gelegen mit freundlichstem, nettem Service! Alles war wunderbar. Bloß ein bisschen warten müssen, aber wegen anderen Gästen.
Perfecte locatie midden in de dikke, op loopafstand van lekker eten winkel.
Goede training op de vloer van 3,5 verdiepingen omhoog te bereiken.
Apparatuur voor 4 personen, maar miste we een koffiezetapparaat.
Bracht het grootste deel van de ruime serre met mooie ochtendzon.
Perfekt läge mitt i smeten, med gångavstånd till bra matbutik.
Bra träning att nå våningen 3,5 våningar upp.
Utrustning för 4 personer , dock saknade vi en kaffebryggare.
Tillbringade största delen på det väl tilltagna uterummet med härlig morgonsol.
We hebben genoten van ons verblijf in dit mooie appartement! Het appartement is klein, maar modern en heeft goede faciliteiten en een prachtig dakterras. Het is gelegen in een heel rustig straatje net om de hoek van de Trevi-fontein. Dus je bent in het midden van het centrum, maar geen streetnoise.
We waren met twee personen, maar u kunt ook met vier blijven want er zijn twee aparte slaapkamers en twee badkamers. Virginia en Francesca zijn erg behulpzaam en aardig.
We enjoyed our stay in this nice appartment!The apartment is small, but modern and has good facilities and a superb roof terrace. It is located in a really quiet alley just around the corner of the Trevi fountain. So you're in the middle of the center but no streetnoise.
We were with two persons, but you can also stay with four as there are two separate bedrooms and two bathrooms. Virginia and Francesca are really helpful and nice.
Het appartement is geweldig! groot balkon, waar u de magnetische geest van Rome.Clean en gezellige bedrooms.Perfect locatie-2 min tot fontein Trevi kan voelen, hoewel zeer rustig. Met dank aan onze gastheer, ze was super vriendelijk en behulpzaam! ik hoop je weer te zien!
The apartment is amazing! great balcony,where you can feel the magnetic spirit of Rome.Clean and cozy bedrooms.Perfect location-2 min to trevi fountain,although very quiet. Thanks to our host,she was super helpful and friendly! hope to see you again!
We were very happy with everything here.
Francesca came to the street to greet us and welcome in. Apartment was nice and beautiful and the terrace of course was awesome. Spent great 2 nights here and would like to come again as well.
Francesca also fixed us ride from the airport and that was very good idea since after seeing the small streets I believe regular taxi driver would not drive you to the front door. So thank you for that as well.
Oh yeah, and the Trevi seems to be even closer than what it says. We went there many times. Thank you!
Excellent appartment! Very well located very close to the Fontana di Trevi. Very quite and lots of light with an incredible terrace. I'll repeat if I come back to Rome! Many thanks Francesca!!!
The flat is fantastic. The terrace made all the difference for us. We travel with a kid at 6 who need to spent a lot of time at "home", and then the terrace facing south-east was perfect for the wife to catch some sun and the rest of us to relax in the shade. The terrace has a retractable cover to meet any need.
The room with bunk beds, toilet and shower is separated from the main part of the flat by the terrace. That was perfect for our teenager but our six year old stayed with us in the master bedroom.
The address itself is very quiet but when you turn one corner, you are in one of the most touristic areas of Rome. It is in walking distance from the Spanish Stairs in one direction and Colosseum in the opposite direction. But going to Rome again I would prefer an address further off the beaten track.
Unfortunately we never got to see this apartement. Our booking was cancelled the day before our arrival. Perhaps there was no other way, but instead of an attic with an amazing view with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a terrace we were put in a one bedroom B&B (take it or leave it) with one bed and no view. Fortunately the bed could be separated the next night because we are not a gay couple, although people seemed to think so, and to think that this is a good reason to treat you like shit. We never got to see Virginia or Francesca or any other name she or her so-called twin sister might be sporting, nor her cute little dog that she may have or not.
A very Nice placere apartment just in the center of the old City there is a wonderful terrasse with morningsun and it is a very Quit area.

William Pannapacker of the English faculty is part of an Emmy-nominated production.
He was featured as an expert on Walt Whitman in the program State of the Arts: American Originals produced by NJN Public Television. NJN covers the Philadelphia and New York Metropolitan markets, including about 13 million viewers.
The program originally aired on May 6, 2005 and was rebroadcast on February 17 and 22, and also includes segments on photographer Edward Weston, composer Harry Patch and organist Alexander McCurdy. It received a 2006 New York Emmy Nomination for Outstanding Arts Program.
Dr. Pannapacker, who is an assistant professor of English and Towsley Research Scholar at Hope, was interviewed in April 2005 in Camden, N.J., where he was giving a plenary session, "Walt Whitman's Philadelphia and Camden: Retrospect and Prospect" at the "Conference on Walt Whitman and Place" at Rutgers University, which celebrated the 150th anniversary of Whitman's Leaves of Grass. The producer invited him to be part of the television segment because he was born in Camden, where Whitman spent the last 20 years of his life. Dr. Pannapacker's conference talk included childhood memories of the city, which has struggled to recover from the loss of industry since the 1960s.
Dr. Pannapacker gave five talks on Whitman during the sesquicentennial celebration. On Saturday, Feb. 4, he presented "Leaves of Grass and Walt Whitman's America" during the college's annual Winter Happening. The other three were during the Modern Language Association Convention in Philadelphia, Pa., in December 2004; the 150th-Anniversary Conference in Lincoln, Neb., in March 2005; and an "American Treasures" lecture at the Library of Congress in November.

Town Square
Will Cary Wiest attend the council meeting tonight?
Original post made by Cary Wiest has ENTERED the building, Atherton: other, on Oct 17, 2012
Probably. He'll show up to make his one and only appearance all year just before the election.
Can we get a tally of which candidates have attended these meetings? I know Elizabeth Lewis has, obviously, and Greg Conlon is on the finance committee.
I believe Denise Kupperman is a regular attendee at all meetings.
Why hasn't Cary Wiest attended? Is he just a Manchurian candidate for cops?

I don't know if you attend Council meetings, but I have attended several and often see Cary Wiest standing in the back of the room allowing others to have the limited seating.

I have also attended several Atherton Council Meetings and have sat in the back row right next to the guy doing the video work for the APOA. I have not seen Carey Weist there.
It really doesn't matter if he has attended a meeting or not. The Atherton Police Department has spoken and if you live in Atherton you better do as they say.

Wiest applied for a committee and was rejected by the Widmer, McKeithen, Dobbie majority.
WMD appointed their friends so that when they run they can be endorsed by people on commissions and committees. They can mentor them to take their place.
This makes it hard for those with differing views from WMD to get experience.
Wiest can change the Good Old Boy network of the Atherton Council.

Peter Carpenter is a registered user.
Weist would be a good choice IF he had not so blindly committed to giving the APOA whatever it wants. It would be nice to have council members that are at least open minded on the issue of police outsourcing rather than all lining up and saluting the APOA flag.
Someday the Council will wake up to the fact that Atherton is paying far more for its police services than are any of its neighbors or comparable cities.

Provide Atherton law enforcement with the staffing, compensation, resources and respect it deserves.
He has removed the respect it deserves. I'm glad he has and I wish he never put it up in the first place.

There is a bunk bed, a single bed, and a sofa bed for 2 persons.
The room is private but shares the bathroom with another room on the same floor.
The accommodation is located in the famous district of Kreuzberg. While Berlin was divided, this neighborhood was a border area of West Berlin, where the rents were low enough to attract artists, dropouts and immigrants. For this reason, Kreuzberg has been known ever since for its multicultural flair and alternative subculture.
Night owls can enjoy the legendary `Kreuzberg nights' especially in the area around Mehringdamm, Bergmannstraße and in the Oranienstraße. In Kreuzberg you will find clubs like 'SO36', 'Watergate' (both less than 10 min by foot) or 'SchwuZ': this area has something to suit everyone's taste.
The Görlitzer Park is a beloved summer meeting place for young people. It is just around the corner.
If you want to chill out, the 'Victoriapark' is a popular relaxation area in in the western part of the district. Here you will find the eponymous Kreuzberg Hill, from where you can enjoy a fantastic view. During the summer, an artificial stream flows down from the top in the form of a waterfall.
Kreuzberg is well connected to the neighboring districts through the U-Bahn lines U1, U2, U6, U7 and U8, and the S-Bahn lines S41 and S42 (circle line). Unlike the eastern districts there is no tram network.
House rulesThe front house and the first rear building are ordinary Berliner houses.
The neighbors are very happy when it's quiet in the yard from 22 clock.
Smoking is not allowed in the guesthouse. You can smoke in the backyard.
Wifi is free. PLEASE NOTE: Germany is very strict chasing people who download content illegally and apply heavy fines. Please don't! We would like to keep the internet open for our guests.

Un apartamento sencillo pero muy correcto: limpio, con todo lo necesario (incluso lavavajillas!), camas muy cómodas,... muy recomendable.
I stayed here with four friends and everything was great. The location was pretty handy and close to all the important stuff. The area had a mixed atmosphere; sometimes it was quite lively and others it was quiet. Our room was clean and tidy, but we had to bring our own towels. The host was friendly and we had everything we needed, including internet. Nothing negative to say!

Hi Guys,
I attempted to get more straight comb in my tbh by shuffling frames. I inserted empty top bars between broodnest comb I also slowly moved the broodnest toward the rear of the hive placing empty top bars toward the entrance.
After examining BerkeyDavid comb photos, I decided to evaluate the effects of shuffling comb, a common practice and one that I use in tbh management. I went back and rearranged one tbh to mimic the broodnest structure I'd seen in my first tbh. The second hive was left as is, with its shuffled comb.
The rearranged hive is ok without symptoms of mite infestation. The shuffled hive now has lots of crawlers with Deformed Wing Virus and Milky Wing Virus. Both of these hives have queens grafted from the same stock and mated in the same yard.
It's a small test, but for me, a significant one. Although broodnest organization is strong, it can be easily disrupted. The bees simply have no mechanism to deal with moving comb. I hoped that the bees orientation to the broodnest structure was so strong that shuffling combs would have little effect. But the opposite is the case. The broodnest structure can be very easily disrupted.
This poses some interesting challenges when managing top bar hive comb if the advantages of a small cell core are to be realized.

text: As a kid growing up in the late-70's/early-80's, most of my Saturday afternoons were spent watching old B-horror movies made anywhere from the 1950's to the 1970's. As far as I know, this was a staple of every guy (and gal, I suppose) in my generation's childhood, as each city had its own version of the "Creature Feature" (or "Creature Double Feature" as it was known in Boston). These movies were generally heavy on the cheese and dominated by Cold War sensibilities: fear of technology, the threat of aliens, the effect of atomic energy, etc.

text: On May the 18th I purchased a five frame Russian nuc, it was loaded with bees. The following day I introduced them to their new home which was a standard size brood box. Six days later I opened the hive to check its condition, everything was great lots of eggs, brood etc. And I was able to find the queen she was very, very large dark almost black. For the next 4 weeks I tried not to disturb them to much, lifting the cover to see that they were drawing out more comb etc. However one of my Italian hives(they preferred a nearby hollow walnut tree) swarmed and made me panic so I suited up yesterday June 25 and went through all 3 of my hives frame by frame to check for swarm cells etc. While checking the Russian hive I was pleased to see that all looked great, no queen cells of any sort, brood, eggs, drawn comb. However when I found the queen I was shocked to see that I no longer had a beautiful dark Russian, I now had a slightly smaller lovely yellow(obviously productive) Italian queen. With no sign of old supercedure cells how did this happen. The hive has been active growing and appeared normal throughout this 38 day period.

By Scooter Hobbs / American Press
Bad weather can make baseball people do strange things.
This would have been the 1991 Southeastern Conference baseball tournament, played in Baton Rouge.
After a couple of soggy days, persistent nasty weather was playing a lot more havoc at the old Alex Box Stadium than the SEC teams were managing to play baseball.
It was of no great concern to most of the six teams there, as five of them were pretty well assured of beginning the NCAA tournament the next week.
The exception was Auburn, which, the feeling was, probably needed to take a pretty good bite out of the tournament to punch its ticket to a more meaningful postseason.
It was kind of the closest thing to a compelling story line those of us in the media could come up with.
We certainly weren't watching much baseball, just one biblical rain storm after another that led to a lot of false starts and a lot more soggy delays and way, way too much free time on our hands.
So a couple of days in, it was starting to look like the tournament might not finish in time for something important, like football season.
Word filtered into the old press trailer down the right-field line that a tournament committee was working diligently on the case.
They met for an hour or so, as I recall, before emerging from LSU's squad room wearied, but with a new and compromised bracket.
Copies were made and delivered to the diligent press corps.
It's not perfect, I remember host coach Skip Bertman saying.
But it was going to have to do. They tried, Bertman said, to be fair to everybody.
Ordinarily, we might not have given it a second glance. But boredom had long set in, so it got a good going-over.
It turned out to be Pulitzer-quality investigative journalism.
The revised bracket, upon closer inspection, did have one small flaw. It effectively eliminated Auburn while the War Eagles, the only team with any desire to return to the ballpark, relaxed back at their hotel.
I forget the details, but basically the War Eagles had another game scheduled on the makeshift bracket, but the gerrymandered bracket had no next landing spot for the winner of that game.
Just a thanks for playing.
It was decided among the media that perhaps we should report our startling findings to the committee.
"But let's have some fun first," somebody said.
Actually, it was me who was elected to call Auburn coach Hal Baird at his team's hotel.
As luck would have it, he was in his room.
When he answered, I explained the situation and asked him if he'd seen the revised bracket yet.
He said no.
I told him we'd been studying it carefully and, best we could tell, his team just got eliminated from the tournament.
I do remember the exact response from Baird, one of the nicest guys in coaching.
"That's … uh …"
There was a long pause.
"That's unfortunate."
Yes it was.
It wasn't long before the tournament officials — possibly after a phone call from Baird — were trying to scarf up and hide the rogue brackets, and they directly went back to the drawing board.
Frankly, I forget what they finally came up, and Auburn didn't do much with its reprieve.
But it does show that there's a danger in making up the rules as you go.
Then again, every now and then logic could come into play.
LSU and Texas A&M played a showcase game Saturday nationally televised by ESPN. At the start of the broadcast, and many times during it, the announcers had to remind viewers that the big, bad SEC was playing a baseball game by high school rules.
This would be, by SEC rule, a seven-inning game.
You could almost see the embarrassment on both teams' faces.
It was pointed out that it was a big game that could clinch the SEC West for LSU or it could help the Aggies get off the NCAA tournament bubble, and yet they were playing a game just a half-step above Little League.
They split the difference and ended up playing eight innings anyway, but only because an extra was needed before LSU managed a 2-1 victory.
Still, in effect, a series that was plagued by weather delays until Saturday dawned bright and balmy, got through an inning earlier than scheduled.
An SEC rule for a series states that if, due to weather, two games are needed on the final day, one of them will be seven innings.
LSU and the Aggies had to finish the final three innings of the second game on Saturday morning, with the Tigers winning 7-4. That apparently counted as a nine-inning game and the seven-inning rule kicked in for the third game.
Normally, get-away day in the SEC is Sunday, and normally the players have classes on Monday.
You do what you have to do. Those are good intentions, at worst.
But get-away day is non-negotiable, even when it's on Saturday, as this one since the Thursday game was also nationally televised.
But Saturday they played by softball rules anyway.
It wouldn't have taken much forethought to figure that the normal rules could have been suspended — agreed upon in advance — due to special circumstances.
Not only was get-away day on a Saturday, both the Tigers and Aggies are through with classes for the semester.
If it had rained Saturday, LSU would have gone home without completing the series. It might have wasted a beautiful Sunday for baseball, even though had no reason to get home until Tuesday's game against UNO.
That defies logic.

Totally agree , but damn it , if you smoke , most everyone will still use a bic . However , we do need a list to check it twice , almost like santa clause .
you know with the media stacking the deck for the anti gun crowd we need and effective tool to support the constitution and the second.
i was just thinking
"boy that outdoor meet really went down the tubes QUICK!"
you know the government has its LISTS and god forbid you end up on one.
we need our own LIST of the businesses that support the 2nd and the constitution.
those that will not support the constitution and the 2nd we need to stop spending our hard earned $$ there.
businesses that either don't support the 2nd need to be boycotted. and possibly picketed as well.
this can't turn into extortion --like give money to support the NRA--
it has to go like all they have to do is sign a statement saying the support the 2nd--??
the pro gun people are making a list and checking it twice--don't be a naughty dirty gun grabbing communist! sign here to support your constitutional rights and the right to bear arms!
any thoughts?
Totally agree , but damn it , if you smoke , most everyone will still use a bic . However , we do need a list to check it twice , almost like santa clause .
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. --Benjemin Franklin
A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity. -- Sigmund Freud
TO vote for the lesser of two evils , is to still vote for evil.
hollyweird is not only anti 2nd but utterly leftist /communist/socialist, and anti the US constitution and the bill of rights!
i have been boycotting holly-weird since 2000 mainly because their products are just PC garbage.
yea hollyweird need to be at the top of the list, or at least close to the top.
i sort of think outfits that pretend to be sportsmen oriented but really have an anti 2nd agenda need to feel the heat first--
even no-comment businesses need to get a black mark because although they might privately support the 2nd-- their too afraid of the PC backlash to publicly support it.
ain't no room for cowards --either you support the constitution and the 2nd or you don't.

Pretty Amazing Advice From Carly Rae Jepsen
Seventeen: How did you get your start?
G-Eazy: Rapping was something I always wanted to do, so after school my friends and I would catch the bus to my house and just sit there writing songs, every day. I had a computer and I bummed a copy of a mixing program off a friend and just started messing around with it. I would write about girls and parties. That's how it started.
17: The "Marilyn" music video has a ton of YouTube views! How did your collaboration with Dominique LeJeaune come about?
G-Eazy: I was at a backyard BBQ in New Orleans and this girl, Dominique LeJeaune, plugged in her guitar and started singing. I was blown away. I knew I had to collaborate with her and when I asked her, she was super-stoked because she already happened to be a fan of mine.

Obama declares January National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month
( US Department of State ) - On December 31, 2013, President Barack Obama proclaimed January as National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. He called upon private businesses, civil society groups, faith leaders, families, and individuals to recognize the vital role they can each play in ending all forms of modern slavery.
For governments, now is the time to take the next steps forward in this struggle. That requires stepping up efforts to bring traffickers to justice, protect survivors, and prevent trafficking, while at the same time pushing for new standards in procurement and labor recruitment that will help ensure governments aren't making this problem worse.
For leaders in the private sector, now is the time to embrace the idea that fighting modern slavery is good business, and to make this effort a part of corporate policies and practices. That requires taking a hard look at supply chains and labor recruitment to make sure goods and services are coming to market free of abuse and exploitation.
For advocates, activists, and service providers, now is the time to come together to share and replicate effective practices and develop new innovations, and to leave behind any ideological divisions that have fractured this movement in years past. That requires keeping our focus fixed on victims and survivors, listening to what they can teach us, and making sure they have the support and services they need to heal and move forward with the lives they choose for themselves.
For individuals everywhere, now is the time to learn about the way this crime intersects with our lives, and to learn what we can do to contribute to a solution. That requires sharing information about how consumer practices fuel the demand for forced labor, and being aware of this crime in our communities and of what to do if we see it.
And for countries and communities that still deny the existence of this problem or their responsibility to address it, now is the time to join us. That means adopting and enforcing laws consistent with international standards. It means treating all victims of this crime-victims of sex trafficking and forced labor; immigrants and citizens; adults and children; men, women, and transgender individuals-with compassion and dignity. And it means providing survivors of this crime with the help and support they need to move on with their lives, and listening to their voices as we chart the path forward in this effort.
This month, I urge you to educate yourself and others about this crime. Learn the red flags that may indicate human trafficking and take the Human Trafficking Awareness Training created by the Departments of State and Homeland Security. Be prepared to report tips on potential human trafficking activity to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 1-888-3737-888. Become a conscientious consumer by visiting Slavery Footprint to determine "How many slaves work for you?" and learn what you can do in your own life to fight human trafficking.

- Ferrari unveils the 2013 F12 Berlinetta at this year's Geneva Auto Show
- The F12 Berlinetta is the fastest Ferrari ever built
- Powered by a front-mounted 729-horsepower 6.3-liter V12 engine
In most sports cars, making a 0-60 mph run in six seconds is quick. The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta does 0-60 in a shattering 3.1 seconds. From there, it'll keep accelerating all the way to its 211 mph top speed. Those shocking stats are thanks to its 729 horsepower and 508 lb-ft feet of torque produced from a front-mounted 6.3-liter V12. When it's all said and done, the F12 Berlinetta is the fastest Ferrari ever produced.
F12 Berlinetta sends all its power to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with close gear ratios developed specifically for the F12 Berlinetta.
Replacing the 599 GTO, the F12 is actually smaller than its predecessor. In fact, it's two inches shorter, just under an inch narrower, and 2.5 inches lower. Thanks to the aluminum-intensive space frame, the F12 is also 360 pounds lighter than the 599 GTO.
Like other modern Ferraris before it, the F12 is fitted with Ferrari's full suite of performance technologies, including an electronic differential, high-performance anti-lock brake algorithms and carbon ceramic brakes.
Earlier this year, one notable British automotive journalist bemoaned the demise of the V12 engine. Delightfully for us, however, Ferrari boasts this is just the beginning of its next generation V12 engine design. Perhaps it won't be too long before an 800+ hp Ferrari V12 is announced.
What it means to you: While other automakers downsize engines and add turbochargers, Ferrari refuses to follow suit with its engines and wows the motoring world with its fastest model yet.

text: I just started a cyser because the first batch of mead I made appears like it won't mature before my wake! The new recipe called for Lavlin D-47 yeast but I instead used a Lavlin 71b-1122 a narbonnes because I read it is supposed to finish faster. Then I read that this yeast will convert malic acid to ethanol. Now I am worried that my gala apple cider will lose its sharp acid bite and apple character. A little late to do anything about it, just wondering how badly I have messed up. It is going to be a sweet one I think because the hydrometer said 1.150 and that was following the recipe except for the yeast. A clear case of failing to follow directions!

Everyone has at least a few good ideas in their lifetime--everyone's uncle seems to have 20 good ones--but not everyone has the resources to recognize their vision. Tools, materials and skills are very difficult to obtain unless you happen to own a workshop, or know somebody that does. Now you do. With TechShop opening its doors to tinkerers all over, those ideas can be executed, further stirring up the innovation coming out of the Bay Area and elsewhere around the country.
On October 1, 2006 Jim Newton and Ridge McGhee opened the first TechShop located in Menlo Park, California. Inspired by students in his robotics class at the College of San Mateo, Newton wanted to create a place where people could come to build their dreams. Today, machines of every kind, and people that know how to use them, fill TechShop locations across the country.
The original TechShop in Menlo Park is now joined by Raleigh, NC; San Francisco, CA; San Jose, CA; Detroit, MI; Austin, TX; and coming soon, Brooklyn, NY. What's interesting about each location is that, while they offer the same basic machines and workspaces, each city tends to influence the focus of the shop. For instance, the car culture pervades in Detroit, whereas motorcycles are most popular in San Francisco.
TechShop provides the training you'll need to become a modern-day renaissance person. Members have a whole suite of heavy duty equipment (here's a list) at their disposal, as well as a compliment of computer design tools from sponsored partner Autodesk. Instructors are on hand to assist TechShop members and ensure a safe working environment.
The Autodesk Rallier Roadster that we test drove during our episode is the perfect example of how TechShop can help bring an idea into reality. The design for the retro roadster was finalized in Autodesk and instructions were exported and sent to water cutting tools where all the body panels were produced. From there, assembly was straightforward. $5000 and some long hours in the shop with friends made it happen.
While prices vary between locations, members can expect to pay anywhere from $125-$175 per month; less if you are a student. In addition to the access to training and the tools, TechShop also offers events to bring people together. For example, Ford is hosting info sessions on technology, app development, and electrification at TechShop Menlo Park tomorrow. Forums like TechShop attract the brightest minds in the area to solve tomorrow's problems.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Very nice large apartment in the very center of Athens, but in a quiet and silent area. Helena and co-workers attentions were splendid. Good time in Atherns
We were few days in Athens and we travel one day with Vassilis to Peloponnesus. Everything was great. We enjoyed a lot the trip with Vassilis because of his recomendations and explanations. The apartment is on a perfect location, just few minutes walking to the acropolis (althougt it is not visible from the window). It has 3 HVACs, and it had everything we needed. Very well in general.
Nice little apartment for 3. Equipped with the most necessary. Nice close to the subway. Close to the sights. It's okay that this lies partly in the basement, but this should be in the description. Happy to recommend the apartment and look forward to return.
Fin lille lejlighed til 3. Udstyret med det mest nødvendige. Dejlig tæt på metroen. Tæt på seværdighederne. Det er i orden, at det ligger delvist i kælderen, men dette bør stå i beskrivelsen. Anbefaler gerne lejligheden og kommer gerne igen.
We enjoyed a lot our stay. Chryssa was so kind with us when we arrived. The house was nice and near to the city centre.
Large apartment in line with the description, located in a quiet area just steps from the promenade and the Acropolis museum. The view from the terrace is beautiful. We made use of the shuttle and it was a deal, we were in 4 and we only spent 32 euro, cheaper than a taxi! And then a gentle salute to Marietta who handled our transfers, also spoke Italian and made us a guide during the journey to and from the apartment.
See you soon ☺

Grande appartamento in linea con la descrizione, situato in una zona tranquilla a due passi dalla passeggiata pedonale e dal museo dell'Acropoli. La vista dal terrazzo è bellissima. Abbiamo usufruito del servizio di navetta ed è stato un affare, eravamo in 4 e abbiamo speso solo 32 euro, meno di un taxi! E poi un saluto alla gentilissima Marietta che si è occupata del nostro transfer, parlava anche italiano e ci ha fatto da guida durante il viaggio da e per l'appartamento.
A presto ☺

The best hosting!
This lovely 2-room combines the proximity to the center (12 minutes walk of the acropolis) and quiet, which is very rare in Athens. It is bright and fresh (double exposure, two balconies, and air conditioning if necessary in both parts), in a green and quiet area with shops close by.
It is well equipped with oven, microwave, washing machine, coffee machine ...
the availability and kindness of the hosts is unparalleled.
Special mention to Chrissa, who took me to get my son to the airport at two in the morning, and that has made this trip a moment of sharing and friendship.
I have only one desire, to return asap!
Le meilleur hébergement possible!
Ce joli 2 pièces conjugue la proximité avec le centre (12 mn à pied de l'acropole) et le calme, ce qui est très rare dans Athènes. Il est clair et frais (double exposition, deux balcons, et la climatisation si nécessaire dans les deux pièces), dans un quartier vert et tranquille, avec tous les commerces à deux pas.
Il est bien équipé: four, micro onde, lave-linge, machine à café...
la disponibilité et la gentillesse des hôtes sont sans égales.
Mention spéciale à Chrissa, qui m'a emmenée chercher mon fils à l'aéroport à deux heures du matin, et qui a fait de ce trajet un moment de partage et d'amitié.
Je n'ai qu'une envie, y retourner au plus vite!
We stay at a property Vassilis and Helena rent near the Acropolis Museum (they maintain several in the Makrygianni-Koukaki neighborhood, near the Acropolis and its convenient Metro stop). The couple maintain their apartments beautifully, have well-equipped, very usable kitchens, and comfortable verandahs for enjoying the evening view across the Athenian rooftops. They've also chosen a neighborhood with a laundromat and a convenient little grocery, which makes a great deal of difference if your stay more than a day or two.
The folks they use to handle the little issues that crop up with any flat are also alert, responsive, and very friendly to deal with. Add into the bargain good internet, their own book about the antique look of the surrounding neighborhoods (the couple are urban historians a bit on the side) and these are excellent places to stay.
Accommodation with 2 very old bathrooms (with pipes that smelled bad and some cockroaches), located on the ground floor in a corner of a very circulée road until 1am (the buses running at 1m window ), so very noisy and polluted.
Logement avec 2 salles de bain très vetustes (avec des canalisations qui sentaient mauvais et quelques cafards), situé au rez de chaussée dans un virage d'une route très circulée jusqu'à 1 heure du matin (les bus passaient à 1m de la fenetre), donc très bruyant et pollué.
Everything was perfect!!!! The apartmet really confortable, and near to the tram which is directly connected with Santagma Square and the metro. We really appreciated our vacation in Athens and surely we will come. Thanks to Helena and a big hug to Cryssa, beautiful person, always available and really kind. We could't choose better than this. Thanks
We stayed at this lovely appartment one night with my boyfriend, my brother, his wife and their 11 months old baby girl. It was perfectly located for a brief visit of Athens! Very cute and well maintained appartment in a quiet residential area 10-15 minutes to the Acropolis!
We will be back;)

It was as a student in Paris looking for a cheap travel adventure during Christmas break that I got my first glimpse of Warsaw. I had signed up with a couple of friends for a trip into Poland's Tatra Mountains, and our second-class compartment on the night train was oppressively overheated until, shortly after midnight, cars holding Red Army officers were added in East Berlin, and the heat ceased entirely for the rest of us.
From This Story
Related Content
Shivering and miserable, I disembarked before dawn at a bleak platform swept by fine needles of icy snow, backlit by large military-style floodlights on lofty stanchions. It was 1961. The air smelled of low-octane gasoline, the signature scent of urban Eastern Europe in those days. Warszawa, the big station signs read. The atmosphere was eerily gulag.
Many trips over the years only confirmed my initial impression: gray, patched together and woebegone, Warsaw was an ugly misfit compared with the timeless beauties of Rome, Paris and Stockholm or, closer by, the three fabulous Austro-Hungarian gems of Vienna, Prague and Budapest.
There was good reason for Warsaw's pitiable state. Before World War II, it had been a parklike city, a picture postcard of old-world Central European architecture on a human scale. But beginning in 1939, in the war's opening days, the city suffered grievously from Nazi shelling and the terror bombing that targeted residential areas. The Nazis would destroy the Jewish ghetto, and more than 300,000 of its residents would die of starvation or disease or in death camps. As the war ground toward its final act, Hitler—enraged by the Polish Home Army's general insurrection, during which more than 200,000 Poles were killed—ordered Warsaw to be physically erased. Over three months in 1944, the Nazis expelled the city's 700,000 remaining residents and leveled nearly all of what still stood: incendiary and dynamite squads moved from building to building, reducing them to rubble or, at best, charred shells.
No other city in Europe—not even Berlin or Stalingrad—was taken down so methodically. Rebuilding in haste with the poor materials and primitive equipment available in the dreary postwar days of Soviet domination, Varsovians reclaimed a bit of their history by painfully recreating, stone by stone, the beautiful Old Town section, the elegant Royal Route leading to it, the Market Square and the Royal Castle. But the rest of the city grew into a generally undistinguished low-rise sprawl, some of it the patched-up remains of the rare buildings that escaped complete destruction, some re-creations of what had existed before, but mostly quick-lick solutions for a returning population in desperate need of shelter, offices and workshops. Little did anyone suspect that half a century later Warsaw's agony would serve as an unexpected advantage over other major European cities: since it was no longer an open-air museum of stately mansions, cathedrals and untouchable historical monuments, the city could be molded into a dashing showcase of contemporary architecture.
In the meantime, though, postwar Poland was threadbare, excruciatingly poor, trammeled by the economic absurdities of Marxist ideology and totally in thrall to the Soviet Union. Between 1952 and 1955, Moscow dispatched several thousand Russian workers to give Warsaw its "Eiffel Tower": the Joseph Stalin Palace of Culture and Science, a massive confection of tan stonework 42 stories high. At 757 feet, it is the tallest building in Poland (and is still the eighth highest in the European Union) and resembles an oversize wedding cake. It was billed as a fraternal gift from the Soviet people, but it sent a different message: we are bigger than you will ever be, and we are here forever. Big Brother, indeed.
I can't count the number of Poles who told me the old saw about the palace's observation platform being the most popular site in Warsaw because it's the only spot from which you couldn't see the palace. Even when Stalin's name was lifted three years after the murderous despot died, Varsovians detested the palace for the political statement it made and for its gaudy hugeness. After 1989, the year the Berlin Wall came down, signaling Communism's fall, younger citizens began to view it with the sort of grudging acceptance that one might feel toward a doddering but harmless old relative.
But what to do about it? In the euphoria of the early days of freedom from the Soviets, many assumed the palace would soon meet a wrecker's ball. But it is in the very heart of downtown Warsaw—in a way it was the heart of downtown Warsaw—and it contains offices, theaters, shops, museums, a swimming pool, a conference center, even a nightclub. It had its uses. The answer was a cold war-style compromise: peaceful coexistence.
Under the Communist regime, construction had begun on the first rival to the palace: a 40-story, glass-fronted hotel and office building completed in 1989. By then, Eastern Europe was changing with dizzying speed. In Warsaw, five decades of repressed entrepreneurial energies had been released like an explosion, and soon shiny new buildings were mushrooming from one end of the city to the other. Seizing the freedom to speculate, developers threw up office and apartment blocks of dubious quality, inevitably heavy on the basic glass box cliché. Before, people had worried about what to do with the palace; now they worried about what was happening around it.
Poland, the biggest and most populous of the USSR's former European satellites, was taking to capitalism like a Labrador pup to a muddy puddle, and the largely underdeveloped country was a good bet for future profits. Eager to secure a foothold and capitalize on low wages and high levels of skill, foreign firms rushed in. Company headquarters of a quality that would not be out of place in New York or Frankfurt began going up.

Hello all,
i look at myself your beautiful Quilts for some time. I noticed that nearly all Quilts make with traditional design.
Sew some of you also modern Art-quilts?
Welcome! :-)
There are a few very talented people in here who make art quilts. The majority are more traditional though. Do you have any photos of your work?
I do traditional quilts. Never tried anything else really. Welcome.
I happen to love both!!! :D :D :D
I think over time we have more members doing some art quilts.
I too would love to see yours!!! 8) 8) 8)
My current projekt is an applique with muppet (is not really a artquilt, but it is not traditional also, or? )
I will make a few more pictures tomorrow...
Block 3 and 4
and Oskar the grunch
Block 1 and 2 for my current projekt
Those blocks are absolutely ADOREABLE! hadta giggle when I saw them. :)
I don't know what "type" of quilt you'd call it other than adorable.
You've done a great job and captured the muppets perfectly :)
love your sesame quilts - they are very cute.
i'm an Art Quilter but i prefer to say i'm a Contemporary Quilt Artist since i think all quilts are a work of art.
the only difference to me is either its traditional or contemporary but its all art.
I love those blocks! They're awesome!
Well done :-)
Cute blocks!!
I am more of a traditional quilter. I hope to dabble someday in the "Art" style of quilting.
I smiled and laughed out loud over their adorable hair, expressions, the fabrics you chose!!! I love how you have parts of them slightly out of the blocks, the fur, My grandkids would love this!!!! You are an Artist!!! :D :D :D

Hello, everyone. I guess I'm still considered new here. I have read many threads, and am finally begining to work on my custom suit. I will also be building one for my wife. (She's not really into it, but is willing to endulge my insanity)
OK I have made a posterboard bucket to test for sizing. IT FITS!:thumbsup
Now, I have a few questions.
What does anyone recommend for a helmet that will survive rigorous usage that will not destroy my minimal budget?
How do I make Acrobat resize my templates to 98% so as to fit my wife?

Q. I keep reading that the best way to improve on hills is to ride more hills. It's pretty flat where I live, so should I just keep going up and down the one hill I have access to or are there other ways to become stronger on the bike?
A. Utilising one hill to develop your hill strength is good but in the interests of sanity and variety here are some other options:
1 If you have access to an indoor trainer, raise the height of the front wheel to replicate hill climbing (roughly 10cm higher than rear wheel equates to a 6-8 per cent gradient). Practise riding in this position at a lower cadence, eg 55-60rpm, at an effort that allows you to talk but at which you're applying pressure through up to half the pedal stroke.
2 Use the local hill to do a variety of strength efforts. On some days do 6-10 very short (10-20 secs) and very hard efforts with 6-10 times as much recovery between (eg 6x20 secs with 120 secs rest); on other days do efforts of 2-3 minutes that are hard but sustainable, at the same cadence you would maintain on the flat. You can add variety by using your aerobar position (if you have them), seated normally or riding out of the saddle.
3 Find a nice flat stretch of road and ride at 55-65rpm, at an effort where you could still talk but you feel like you are applying pressure through up to half the pedal stroke. Do this for 5-10 mins, then take 3-5mins to recover at a more comfortable cadence. Repeat 3-5 times.
When developing strength using 'big gear/low cadence' work there is no need to do the efforts as hard as you can. Just the nature of the lower cadence and the 'pausing for breath' effort will have the desired effect.
