Vatican II issued an urgent call for the laity to take a more active role in the life of the Church. What should the life of the Christian believer be like? How are average lay Christians called to help save the world? How does theology fit into the picture?
One of Frank Sheed's most popular books, this ideal volume for the layman shows the practical aspects of theology in the life of a Christian believer. Logic, clarity, and simplicity permeate this eminently readable book. Drawing from his fifty years of street-corner preaching, as well as his long career as an author, lecturer and publisher, Sheed understands and communicates better than anyone the importance of theology and its relationship to living sanely in today's world. A brilliant synthesis of the Catholic view of life.
"Of Sheed's many books, this one is my favorite, not just because it includes the clearest explanation of the Trinity ever put on paper, but because it proves that only the Catholic view of reality can satisfy our mental hunger."- Karl Keating, Author, Catholicism and Fundamentalism
"Theology and Sanity is simply one of the best books on the Catholic faith ever written. It offers clear thinking (sanity) when it comes to God and what he has created (everything else). This book revolutionized my life when I first read it over thirty years ago. I was then an Evangelical Protestant and a fan of C.S. Lewis. I challenged a Catholic friend to show me the Catholic Lewis. My friend handed me Theology and Sanity. Frank Sheed was, like C.S. Lewis, a master of lucidity. It was Sheed who first led me to think seriously about Catholicism."- Mark Brumley, President, Ignatius Press
Frank Sheed had a very distinguished career as a publisher, lecturer, street-corner evangelist, and popular writer. He and his wife Maisie Ward were the founders of the major publishing house Sheed & Ward. His many popular books include To Know Christ Jesus, Theology and Sanity, Society and Sanity, and A Map of Life.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
Brown is to go to guy now. Everyone knows he's powerful and speedy, Runs good routes and pass protection is there. Injury prone is his downfall. But he's coming around as in the game very productive. TC will not part ways with him, knowing the future is Wilson who can't pass block well yet. Brown, is also a soldier on and off the field and knows his effort is what got him on the field, not raw talent but taught talent and toughness
The way RB's are valued, a tender will be in order. No brainer, unless AB is willing to accept a very Giant friendly deal. And as far as the safety spot is concerned, we know Brown cuts it. I'd prefer giving Brown a "fair", performance ladened deal instead of playing: " Lets make a deal"; and send rolle packing. I've watched him talk well and play poor long enough. It makes sense all around the cookie! Go Giants
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
If Brown's leg heals up, and if he can stay healthy, he's a really solid RB. Unfortunately, those are two big "ifs". So tendering him makes sense.....I'd imagine it would be for at worst a 3rd round pick. If they tender him as a 4th, someone else will likely make a run at him.
"I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones." - Bill Parcells
"Name the starting linebackers from 2007." - Jerry Reese
As far as injuries go, his bone break is the best kind of injury to comeback from. Soft tissue tears are usually the harder things to come back from. Whether or not he gets injured again, no one can tell. Unless you think he is jinxed, he has no more more likelihood of new injury as the next guy. I'd like to keep him. Even if we got a stud 2nd round RB, it wouldn't help us this coming season. TC wouldn't play the guy anyway.

Well i have an LCP and have had one continuing problem with it since the first day i bought it. I RUN OUT AMMO TOO FAST! This little pocket pistol is one great
gun. i have had 0 failures of any kind, and it very easy to shoot accurately. If you are in the market for a pocket gun, you would be making a mistake if you don't
really consider the LCP. Good luck.

It's important what we put in the hives. I continue to worry more about fungicides and their interactions with pesticides and acaricides than the products alone.
Detoxication by P450s appears to be the basis for the tolerance bees show toward tau-fluvalinate, coumaphos and fenpyroximate, but not amitraz or thymol. Any SBI fungicide that inhibits P450-mediated detoxification has the potential to interact with tau-fluvalinate, and likely coumaphos and fenpyroximate as well. Given the large number of pesticides to which bees are potentially exposed, and the practical impossibility of testing every possible combination, examining pesticide interaction with P450s holds promise as a method to simplify pesticide interaction testing in a rational way. Testing for P450 interactions could serve as the first tool in a lab-based toolbox testing for potential pesticide interactions in bees.
While these laboratory bioassays point to potential problems associated with the various acaricide treatments, any management recommendations must be based on additional information gained from field experiments using whole colonies. Lethal-dose bioassays, by definition, require the use of doses that are high enough to cause acute mortality in bees doses that are often much higher than bees are likely to encounter under field conditions. However, documentation of these interactions provides a foundation for future experiments using field-relevant doses and helps to focus the limited resources available for field experiments on those pesticide combinations with the greatest potential to cause harm. The routes of exposure to acaricides, fungicides and antimicrobials in beehives may be different from the topical and oral applications used in these bioassays. The actual exposure bees receive to formulated acaricides, sequestered acaricides in beeswax, and fungicide applications in agriculture need to be quantified to accurately assess the risk posed by interactions. Additionally, bees may experience sublethal effects that are, by definition, not quantifiable in lethal dose bioassays, but may have a substantial effect on colony health [74], [75]. Until more is known about the potential for interaction between acaricides, fungicides and antimicrobials in the real world it would be prudent for beekeepers to avoid concurrent use of acaricides that are detoxified by P450s tau-fluvalinate, coumaphos, and fenpyroximate especially in settings where honey bees may be simultaneously exposed to the P450-inhibiting SBI fungicides.

Wow, I'm feeling really guilty, as I pretty much talked you into Netscape 7.0.

Pissed that my mail continues to open with news that I don't want, instead of a blank as it should be. Why I should be forced to go into some file to fix this is beyond me.
Mr. Tinkles has answered this issue, but I would like to add just a small tidbit. Use a blank page to open with, and it really cuts down on Netscape load time. It's pretty fast, but this is even better. (I don't like QuickLaunch)
This setting is found in Edit|Preferences|Navigator
Select: "Blank Page"
In the "Location" field, delete anything that is there, and leave it blank.
Frustrated that after having deleted Mozilla and installing Netscape I discover all my settings (obviously deleting Mozilla did not delete my user profile as I thought it would) are still intact but are NOW part of Netscape's profile.
Deleting the old Profile needs to be done manually, after you have uninstalled the program in Add/Remove. You can create a new profile for Netscape 7.0 and when it meets your needs, delete the one that was converted from Mozilla.
In addition, these two files can be deleted ONLY if you have no other Mozilla or Netscape 6/7 applications installed. Those files are:
mozver.dat and registry.dat.
You should delete these files before you reboot, after the uninstall of the application (NS or Moz).

Music Review: undun by The Roots
The Roots 13th studio album 'undun' is their best yet.
The Roots 14th studio album, undun, has secured a seat in the theoretical hall of fame the most innovative hip hop albums ever created. With 14 tracks clocking in at 39 minutes, The Roots recount the 1974-1999 life span of a poor kid from Philadelphia named Redford Stephens. undun is a passionately crafted album that keeps you entranced with thick and rich musical tracks, while violently tugging at your heart strings.
That being said, it does feel like The Roots are breathing new life into what they brought to the table with their album, How I Got Over, so one dimensional listeners are invited to enjoy ?uestlove's drum beats and Black Thought's voice, without paying attention to what is going on in the story. As much as it is a rap album, undun also tips its cap to other genres.
Jam packed with jazz, soul and Sufjan Stevens, all arranged by the unparalleled genius ?uestlove, it is as if they've reinvented the sounds of the 70's-90's to team perfectly with Black Thought's lyrics.Narrating a life that many kids fall victim to, Black Thought gives an elegant view point on a life that is accustomed to the world's back. You can't help but feel a pang of guilt for not opening your heart sooner making Black Thought's rhymes the focal point in this particular album.
Upon listening, we realize that The Roots have introduced us to some of the greatest musicians, styles and musical periods in such a humble laissez faire manor we didn't notice they have taught us the way of composition, melody and prose. These guys know music and have no qualms about being the ones who introduce great music to seasonal hip-hop enthusiasts we all started out as.
Be sure to check out The Roots website for any upcoming tour dates.
Best Tracks All of them.
Skip These If you skip anything, it would be deemed sacrilegious.

The Destination
One of the founding fathers of the National Park System, Yosemite found its way into the American psyche in much the same way our nation's Founding Fathers did. At 761,000 acres, this vast expanse of flowery meadows and sheer cliffs, trickling streams and thunderous waterfalls, has become a symbol of freedom, new frontiers, strength, and self-reliance. Feel the mist on your face during a one-mile hike to the base of Bridalveil Falls, or find freedom on the five-mile loop at Mirror Lake. At some point, hop aboard the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad, which takes passengers on a four-mile tour just outside the park in the Sierra National Forest. At night, enjoy dinner at one of five restaurants at the nearby Tenaya Lodge, offering everything from elegant New American cuisine to bar-and-grill fare.
The Digs
Channel your uniquely American heritage with this week's Escape to The Redwoods in Yosemite, tucked back in the Wawona area about 25 miles south of Yosemite Valley. Each cabin is fully furnished, and most offer a private deck that affords views of the forest, plus access to a barbecue area. The property's clubhouse offers complimentary coffee, tea, and popcorn throughout the day, and while some cabins aren't equipped with Wi-Fi, the clubhouse always is. Bronze-level cabins are a minimum AAA rating, while Silver-level cabins have upgraded amenities.

there is a special pliers that has a fork on one face and a poke on the other face. the fork straddles the rod on the flat bracket and the poke pushes the rod out of the bushing. A small amount of heat would soften the bushing but not too much heat!!!!
I have pried them apart with a pair of screwdrivers but finesse is mandatory. The bushings are available if you break it, but you need a good parts man to find it. NAPA maybe

To the Editors:
"Revisiting the Limit to Growth after Peak Oil" by Charles A. S. Hall and John W. Day, Jr. (May–June 2009) presented an excellent historical review and insightful analysis on the issues of population and resources. Given the energy challenges that the world is facing, a transformation of our fossil fuel-based economy to a clean and sustainable energy-based economy is crucial. Without this transformation, grave consequences may well result. Nature will establish a new equilibrium within its boundary and capacity, for better or for worse. But future generations will benefit if we act collectively and wisely today to understand and make every effort to solve these problems. In this regard, we need not only more intellectual leaders like these authors but also a well-educated public that understands the urgency of these issues and that is willing to sacrifice short-term interests for the planet's long-term environmental, ecological and societal health. To produce this on a global scale is a much more challenging task than the actual problems waiting to be solved.
Charles RongU.S. Army Research LaboratoryAdelphi, MD
I agreed with nearly every argument Charles Hall and John Day made in "Revisiting the Limits to Growth After Peak Oil." Two points, however, deserve more up-to-date treatment. The first involves the energy-return-on-investment (EROI) of photovoltaic (PV) technologies. I have been active in the field of life-cycle assessment of PV for nearly a decade. Since last year I have been a Spanish technical representative for the International Energy Agency's Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (http://www.iea-pvps-task12.org). The article states that the "EROI of most 'green' energy sources, such as photovoltaics, is presently low." In Figure 10, an EROI well below 10 can be inferred to be assigned to PV. To the best of my knowledge, this is no longer true. Most recent studies agree that the energy payback time of state-of-the-art PV systems ranges from approximately one to three years. Combined with an industry-standard lifetime of 30 years for the PV systems, the resulting EROIs roughly range between 10 and 30.
Also, the article states, "the annual increase in the use of most fossil fuels is generally much greater than the total production (let alone increase) in electricity from wind turbines and photovoltaics." While this may have been true of the 1990s, and even early 2000s, the world PV market is changing rapidly thanks to second-generation technologies such as thin films. The latest prospective analyses performed by the IEA and by independent researchers suggest a likely large-scale deployment of PV, far beyond what has been accomplished so far.
Marco RaugeiPompeu Fabra UniversityBarcelona, Spain
In their doomsday analysis of the future of the world as oil supplies dwindle, Hall and Day overlook the key element that has been instrumental in preventing a Malthusian disaster, namely innovation. The world that could not handle a population of hundreds of millions in the 16th century is now home to more than 7 billion people, admittedly with some strains on the ecology of a planet inhabited by haves and have nots.
Too many soothsayers have pronounced the end of the world and have been proved wrong. Science has conquered many problems presented by an ever-increasing population with giant strides in agriculture, appropriate handling of natural resources and new energy supplies. Among all professions, the scientific community should be the most sanguine about the future and its ability to continue to handle the needs of an expanding population.
Nelson MaransSilver Spring, MD
Dr. Hall responds:
We appreciate Charles Rong's comments and the many others we have received from scientists and policy experts applauding our article. We hope Marco Raugei is correct. We have not, however, seen any reviewed literature with numbers of the sort he suggests. Our own interaction with engineers installing large-scale photovoltaics in harsh environments and elsewhere suggests that EROI might not be so high when the many hidden energy expenditures are considered. Just a portion include research and development efforts, equipment failures, transporting installation and maintenance workers to remote locations, the construction of long transmission lines and, especially, the construction of backup storage and transmission systems for periods when the sun is not shining or shining strongly. New higher-efficiency systems often use exotic and energy-expensive doping materials. Rare metals are, well, rare. Finding them is energy intensive. We must examine not just the EROI of the devices but of whole systems of supplying reliable energy into the future.
As for Raugei's second point, the most recent data I have received from my colleague Jean Laherrère show that, until at least 2008, there were far greater absolute annual increases in fossil fuel use internationally than in "new solar." In the United States, wind and photovoltaics account for far less than one percent of all energy used, although that percentage certainly is increasing.
Nelson Maran's comments are certainly the most common response one gets from people who reject the limits- to-growth concept. Their skepticism must be taken seriously as there may be something to it. It is true we have avoided "Malthusian disasters" so far (unless you are one of the world's 2 billion hungry or malnourished). But agriculture is linked closely to increasing fossil-fuel use. The "green revolution" of 30 years ago was in large part based on breeding alterations in key crop plants that allowed higher fertilizer use and, hence, more production. That produced much more demand for inorganic fertilizer, the majority of which, in this country, is nitrogen-based and produced with natural gas, a fossil fuel. Fossil energy use rises in step with increases in population and affluence.
Obviously humans have increased their control of energy through technology over time—with spear points to concentrate force; fire to break down cell walls and access more foods; agriculture to concentrate solar energy into useful food products; human slaves; animal power; Dutch windmills; New England water power and so on, including the very wide gains from fossil fuels. The real question is whether oil, gas and coal are the last step. Will they be followed by another transition? I cannot answer what that transition could be. We once thought nuclear power was the answer, but it appears that there is not nearly enough uranium, and the politics are daunting. Breeders have been attempted in France, Scotland and Tennessee but abandoned as too expensive (implying low EROI). Commercial fusion recedes each decade. Solar, as Marco Raugei notes, may expand significantly in some parts of the world. Technology may make some low-grade natural gas or thorium reactors more viable. But in all cases we have to ask whether there will be sufficient monetary and energy resources to make the transitions. It is time to make the study and discussion of the limits to growth, or perhaps the nonlimits to growth, at least as scientific, central and important as our discussions regarding climate change. Its effects are probably as great, but they will be felt sooner. Why we have not done this yet is a great mystery to us.

if you dont have a lifetime to learn, dont start cause you will never even scratch the surface in just a couple of decades.
seriously tho myself, i started as a child, tearing apart stuff... every mechanical present given to me was immediately disassembled to see how it worked.... then reassembled to see if it still worked.
my first gun was no different.... tore the deer rifle apart and cleaned it and reassembled before i even got out of my pajamas.... it was christmas day....
as i got older, i taught myself to refinish stocks.... this let me get my hands on old rifles from relatives... i refinished them and got to see how the different guns worked.... in the mean time i resurfaced a few sears on some old jc higgins single shot .22s that had been in the family for years but put away cause of the hair triggers as a result of 40 years of plinking....
eventually i got my hands on a copy of brownells catalog , "gunsmith kinks" and and the gun parts corp catalog (now numrich arms) .... i started cleaning handguns for friends , free of charge, just to have access to different styles and models....i advertised to buy non working guns....i fixed them and sold off the ones i didnt want.
eventually i took a course online... subscribed to a billion news letters and bought every tech manual and or tear down sheet i could find.
i got my ffl and opened my own shop in central california and made a nice chunk of change from my hobby till i got sick of the laws and requirements in california to do business.
this was all before the internet.... now anyone can figure out a basic repair. so if i was starting today, from scratch.... i would start here... and dont put a time limit on it, you are gonna run outa time before you run out of gun stuff to figure out.

Disease risk analysis is undertaken in the planning stage of an intervention such as a reintroduction. Translocations, including reintroductions, are important conservation tools, but they engender risk of disease to the translocated and recipient populations due to changes in host-parasite encounters and stresses placed on the wild animal populations. The risk that infectious and non-infectious hazards will precipitate disease during or following intervention is analysed and mitigating measures are proposed. An important objective is to prevent the introduction of alien parasites (harboured by the translocated animal) to native animal populations, because parasite invasions have the potential to cause catastrophic mortality outbreaks in immunologically naïve populations. If the intervention proceeds, the mitigation measures, such as biosecurity, infectious agent screening and therapeutic regimes are put in place, while the health of the translocated and recipient populations are monitored through pre-release and post-release surveillance. Species we have worked with include red kite (Milvus milvus), corncrake (Crex crex), pool frog (Rana lessonae) and short-haired bumblebee (Bombus subterraneus).
When the project commenced methods to assess the risk of disease to wild animal interventions were rudimentary. Using methods available for domestic animal movements, we have developed a qualitative disease risk analysis appropriate for wild animal interventions. If a translocation crosses a geographic or ecological boundary the increased risk of disease is recognised, and post-release health surveillance is used to inform on the risk that unknown parasites will avoid detection. Hazards are evaluated throughout the reintroduction pathway, and these hazards include non-infectious agents of disease, such as toxins.
Contact the Project Director, Tony Sainsbury, Project Veterinarian, Jenny Jaffe, or Project Technician, Liam Fitzpatrick for further information.
The Disease Risk Analysis and Health Surveillance Project is a part of the WILDCOMS Network .

Malware Incident Response
I recently posted (http://www.cutawaysecurity.com/blog/archives/80) this to my blog and I was interested in some feedback from this forum.
Go forth and do good things,
When to Initiate Malware Incident Response
When somebody tells you that their anti-virus software detected a virus do you start your incident response procedures? If you do not you should reconsider your position.
"But, Cutaway, if I initiated my incident response plan everytime a virus was detected I wouldn't get anything else done!"
I really hope that you do not work in an environment where systems are being infected on a daily basis. But if you do, and they are, then perhaps you should consider implementing your incident response procedures everytime. Please allow me to explain.
Most virus/worm reports are going to come in through your helpdesk or by a quick call to the responsible administrator. The first step in your incident response plan should be to identify the assets that are involved. I'm not just talking about the physical assets. For instance, the infected system was an end-user's workstation. I am also speaking about the other assets that are involved with the infected system. Does the end-user work with sensitive information? Is the system on the same network segment as the database server that contains the database with credit card information? By quickly determining the type of assets involved the point of contact can choose to continue following the incident response plan and escalate the situation or log and mark the system for review and maintenance. Without this situation analysis you might not know the full extent of the issue.
Now that the situation has been identified a course of action can be determined, whether through the incident reponse plan or the maintenance procedures. Do we need to pull the system from the network? Do we need to get a copy of the malware so that it can be analyzed to determine its function and purpose? Do we have to identify if sensitive information was accessed or exposed? How did the system get infected in the first place? Can the system be cleaned sufficiently to perform its function or does it need to be wiped and redeployed?
All of these are standard questions and easy for anybody to pick up on. From the list I really want to focus on the "how did the system get infected" question. If you don't have to initiate an incident response plan this question has the biggest potential to get overlooked. It is easy to say, "I got infected but the anti-virus detected and deleted the malware for me. I'm good, I've got work to do, I'm moving on." A common business continuity, attitude but what got solved here? The system is not infected anymore but it is still vulnerable to the same incident. By initiating the incident response plan you are ensuring that this question will be asked and sufficiently answered. Now, you have to be careful here because it is very easy to get sucked into a tunnel vision approach and miss the gaping hole in the side of the ship. Viruses, worms, and malware don't just magically generate on a system. There are any number of ways they can find a home: user interaction, worm prorogation, web surfing and email reading, exploited applications and services. When you look at that list can you see the potential that one avenue of approach might be mistaken for another. Let me put it this way, if your anti-virus detected a worm on your system whose method of propagating includes exploiting DCOM or some other service can you say for certain that the worm was not placed on the system by a person who exploited a different vulnerable service and then uploaded this worm because their network reconnaissance of your network showed that more systems were vulnerable to the detected worm? You might have to read that sentence again to get my point but it is there. Until you look into and address all the methods a system could have been compromised then you are still vulnerable and the system will get owned again, and again, and again.
Okay, we have identified our assets we have determined how the system is vulnerable, are you satisfied? Actually, that is my question to you. If you were following your incident response plan would you be satisfied at this point. Where is the follow up? What was assigned with this task? Did their manager or the incident response team leader follow up with them? The process is not complete until the all of the issues have been resolved, the administration of the system has been reviewed, and procedures have been modified to increase the prevention related to malware infection on this and other systems in the organization.
Yes, I do understand that implementing your incident response plan is going to cost you in man-hours and money that could be spent elsewhere. This is exactly my point. By devoting man-hours and money to this type of activity people (MANAGERS) are going to start to take notice. If they don't notice then you need to be pointing it out to them. At the same time you should present them with options as to how new procedures, updated policies, end-user training, system hardening, and other security modifications can reduce the number of incidents and thereby decrease the amount of man-hours/money devoted to responding to these types of incidents.
Sure, what I have described here is a very simplistic example of an incident response plan. But the point of this exercise was to help you understand that just allowing your anti-virus software to act as your final step in the malware security aspect of your defense will only ensure the continued infection of your systems. This will eventually lead to bigger and badder compromises in the future. Protect yourself now by being proactive and not allowing yourself and others to take the easy way out.
UPDATE: When I got up this morning I realized that I forgot to mention one important fact. The primary reason behind an incident response plan is not the security of the assets involved. Rather, it is the business continuity of these assets. The job of a security professional is not to firefight potential issues but to evaluate the threats associated with the companies assets and mitigate them as much as possible to ensure the business continuity of the organization. By not initiating your incident response plan to help you combat malware within your environment you are, in effect, placing your assets at greater risk.
Please, if I have missed something point it out to me in a comment or trackback a blog posting from your site. I welcome the feedback and critiques as they help me grow and become a better security professional.

Family and friends remember ambulance crash victim
HAWKINS COUNTY, Tenn. - The Church Hill community is mourning the loss of 18-year-old Samantha Hathaway after a tragic accident over the weekend.
Nine others were injured, including three children, after the weekend crash that involved an ambulance in Hawkins County, Tennessee. Click here to read more about the accident.
On Monday, family and friends gathered to comfort one another and share memories of a loved one lost. Bubbly, energetic and loving: those are just a few of the words family and friends use to describe Samantha Hathaway.
"She was an extremely lovable person. She loved talking to anybody and she wouldn't hold anything back," said friend Cody Tipton.
They called her 'Sami' and say she was always a joy to be around. "[She was] the most bubbly person you'd ever meet. She'd just pull the heart strings of anyone," adds friend Dillon Cradic.
A gathering at Samantha's uncle's home on Monday allowed loved ones to share their fondest memories of the college student.
We're told Samantha was getting ready for her second year at Northeast State Community College. Her mom says she was studying Psychology.
Samantha Hathaway leaves behind her fiancé Devin, a mother, a father, a stepmother and a six-year-old brother, Joshua.
Calling hours for Samantha Hathaway will be Wednesday evening from 4 to 7 p.m. at Carter-Trent Funeral Home in Church Hill.

Amber alert victim: "I'm glad to be home."
NEWPORT - A 12-year-old girl who deputies said was abducted and taken from North Carolina to Florida by a convicted sex offender is back home in Carteret County.
Abigaile Lefevers returned home about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to her father Robert Lefevers. Lefevers said his daughter flown from Florida to the airport in Beaufort and was then brought home by Carteret County deputies.
News Channel 12 sat down with Lefevers Wednesday for the first time since his daughter returned home.
"I got to kiss her goodnight and I got to kiss her good morning, which is the best feeling you can have," Lefevers said.
Deputies say convicted sex offender Timothy Newman, 38, abducted Abigaile last Monday. They were found two days later near Miami, Florida. Now that Abigaile is home, Lefevers said the family is focused on getting back to normal.
"It's going to be a long way to get her back to being a 12-year-old," Lefevers said.
News Channel 12 did not talk with Abigaile on camera because law enforcement officials requested that Abigaile not be interviewed while a case is being built in this investigation. But our reporter was able to meet her at the family's home Wednesday.
Abigaile said she is "glad to be home" and looking forward to getting back to school.
Her father said he expects Abigaile to return to school sometime next week. He is working with school counselors to help her with the adjustment.
Newman is expected to be extradited to North Carolina in the next 10 days. He is charged with felony child abduction, identity theft, larceny and unauthorized use of a vehicle in NC. In Florida, he is charged with grand theft auto. Newman also faces a federal charge of enticing a child across state lines.
Robert Lefevers said he hopes the trip with his daughter is Newman's last.
"I'll be there to make sure he gets everything that he can possibly get."
Robert Lefevers reported to the Department of Social Services Wednesday morning for a drug test. Further details are not being released on the department's investigation of Lefevers.

As a student coordinator and HIV tester for Community Health, Tia Marks acknowledges that the experience of getting tested and talking about transmission of HIV can be tricky, difficult and unusual. Therefore, having trained, state certified peers test CU students makes the conversation about HIV and transmission much more relatable, she says. Student testers understand student life, and the state certification gives them the skills and knowledge to deliver a reliable test.
"When the idea of being an HIV tester was introduced to me, I was definitely intrigued but also intimidated at the idea of conducting and delivering an HIV test while having a conversation about a person's sexual health and use of barrier methods, at the same time," said Marks.
"I was unsure how this conversation would go, and when training for state certification I became even more intimidated at the idea of being in a room with one other individual talking about sensitive topics. Yet, as time went on, I have become more comfortable and confident in my ability to have a meaningful and valuable conversation with a person about their sexual health and about HIV in general. I love having the opportunity to be able to have these conversations with people. Each conversation is very unique and learning how to respond, help, and make the testing process less intimidating is a step by step process," she said.
Community Health comes from the position that getting tested for HIV or other STI's is not only an important part of maintaining one's health, but also helps reduce stigma and can be a very rewarding experience. The testers at Community Health are constantly learning, thinking, and improving ways to successfully reach people from all sectors of the CU-Boulder community.
Community Health offers free and confidential HIV testing for the CU-Boulder community on Mondays in the UMC room 411 from 12:30-2:20 p.m. and 2:30-4:30 p.m. in Atlas; and Tuesdays in the UMC room 411 from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and 4:30-6:30 p.m. at WillVill in the Darley Commons area.


text: Brohm the early leader to be the top pick By Todd McShay ESPN.com Now that the 2007 NFL draft is over, it's time to starting thinking about the 2008 draft. Here are the top 10 as well as the top five by position. Top 10 for 2008 Brian Tietz/US Presswire Louisville QB Brian Brohm completed 63.6 percent of his passes for 3,049 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2006. 1. Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville Brohm lacks ideal mobility and has experienced some durability issues (thumb and shoulder) over the course of the past year. Otherwise, he possesses all the tangible and intangible qualities of a top-five draft pick. Brohm possesses prototypical size and good arm strength to go along with outstanding decision-making skills and accuracy as a passer. In order to land the top spot in the 2008 draft, Brohm must quickly adapt to new coach Steve Kragthorpe's system and avoid the nagging injuries that have plagued him in the past. 2. Sam Baker, OT, USC Baker made a wise decision to return for his senior season, allowing him another full year to improve his bulk and strength. If he can carry more weight and become more physical in the run game without it affecting his outstanding feet and quickness, Baker will undoubtedly earn a top-10 spot in next year's draft. Baker will be fighting off Michigan's Jake Long for the honor of top offensive lineman in 2008. 3. Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU Dorsey is an explosive one-gap defensive tackle with elite initial burst and change-of-direction skills for his size. After splitting time in a rotation behind Claude Wroten and Kyle Williams early in his career, Dorsey experienced a breakout season as a first-year starter in 2006 (64 total tackles, including 8.5 for losses). If he continues to improve his lower-body strength and overall technique as a senior, Dorsey should be the top interior defensive lineman selected in the 2008 draft 4. Jake Long, OT, Michigan Long could have been a top-10 pick in the 2007 draft but instead elected to return to Ann Arbor for his final season of eligibility. At 6-foot-7, 320 pounds with great experience and quick feet, there's not many holes to pick in Long's game. He missed nearly half of the 2005 season with an ankle injury but returned to form as a full-time starter last year. Another healthy and productive campaign in 2007 should land Long a top-10 spot in next year's draft. John David Mercer-US PRESSWIRE Early Doucet has all the makings of being the first WR drafted next year. 5. Early Doucet, WR, LSU Doucet has paid his dues as the No. 3 receiver behind a pair of first-rounders in Dwayne Bowe (Chiefs, No. 23 overall) and Craig Davis (Chargers, No. 30 overall). Now it's Doucet's time to shine. The 6-foot, 205-pound speedster should quickly emerge as new starting QB Matt Flynn's favorite target. If Doucet embraces the spotlight and proves capable of handling the double-team attention that comes along with it, he could become the top receiver selected in the 2008 draft. 6. Paul Oliver, CB, Georgia Oliver is one of the most underrated prospects in the 2008 class right now. This 6-foot, 205-pound cornerback impressed me with his improved coverage skills during the second half of the 2006 season, including a tremendous effort versus former Georgia Tech star WR Calvin Johnson (Lions, No. 2 overall). Don't be surprised if Oliver emerges as a top-10 pick a year from now. 7. Andre Woodson, QB, Kentucky The light finally came on for Woodson as a junior in 2006, when he threw 25 more touchdowns (31) compared to only one more interception (seven) from the previous year. The 6-5, 235-pound gunslinger is seeing the entire field and has learned to better protect the football. Woodson also has a strong arm and good mobility for his size. If he builds on this momentum as a senior, the top two quarterbacks (Brohm and Woodson) selected in the 2008 draft could hail from the state of Kentucky. 8. Limas Sweed, WR, Texas Sweed is a thoroughbred wide receiver measuring in at 6-5 and 218 pounds with 4.5 speed. He led the Longhorns with 801 yards and 12 touchdowns on 46 receptions last season, including a career best eight-catch, 119-yard performance at Nebraska. QB Colt McCoy isn't a rookie anymore, which should lead to more opportunities for Sweed in a more wide-open Texas offense in 2007. Sweed can solidify his spot in Round 1 by running more polished routes and by continuing to step up in the big games. 9. Chad Henne, QB, Michigan Henne is an experienced starter with good size and arm strength. He's not the type of quarterback that can carry a team, but he does an excellent job of managing games and distributing the ball to his playmakers. Henne made the wise decision of returning to school for his senior season in 2007. His accuracy and overall decision making must improve in order to warrant first-round consideration in the 2008 draft. 10. Frank Okam, DT, Texas Okam's upside is nearly limitless. At 6-5, 320 pounds, he flashes the mobility and power to dominate the interior. Much like Michigan's Alan Branch, who dropped out of this year's first round, Okam's motor is too inconsistent. He needs to turn it up a notch and play with more fire in order to maximize his draft stock, which easily could reach top-10 heights. Top 5 by position Quarterbacks 1. Brian Brohm, Louisville 2. Andre Woodson, Kentucky 3. Chad Henne, Michigan 4. Colt Brennan, Hawaii 5. Erik Ainge, Tennessee Running Backs 1. Allen Patrick, Oklahoma 2. Branden Ore, Virginia Tech 3. Mike Hart, Michigan 4.

New Jersey's Frank Lautenberg, Senate's last WWII veteran, remembered
TRENTON, N.J. - Colleagues and friends are remembering U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg as a dedicated public servant who fought vigorously for the people of New Jersey.
Lautenberg's office said the nation's oldest senator and the last remaining World War II veteran serving in the Senate died of complications from viral pneumonia at a hospital in New York City Monday. He was 89-years-old.
New Jersey Senate President Stephen Sweeney said his fellow Democrat leaves behind an amazing legacy of pushing for the rights of the working poor and middle class.
Lautenberg grew up poor in Paterson, where his father worked in a silk factory and died at 43. He used the G.I. Bill to attend Columbia University and went on to found the multimillion-dollar company Automatic Data Processing.
President Obama:
"Michelle and I were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Senator Frank Lautenberg, a proud New Jerseyan who lived America's promise as a citizen, and fought to keep that promise alive as a senator.
The son of working-class immigrants, Frank joined the Army during World War II, went to college on the GI Bill, and co-founded one of America's most successful companies. First elected to the Senate in 1982, he improved the lives of countless Americans with his commitment to our nation's health and safety, from improving our public transportation to protecting citizens from gun violence to ensuring that members of our military and their families get the care they deserve. Michelle and I extend our deepest condolences to Bonnie, the Lautenberg family, and the people of New Jersey, whom Frank served so well."
Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J.:
"It's no mystery that Senator Lautenberg and I didn't always agree. In fact, it probably is more honest to say we very often didn't agree, and we had some pretty good fights between us over time – battles on philosophy and the role of government, but never was Senator Lautenberg to be underestimated as an advocate for the causes that he believed in and as an adversary in the political world.
I think the best way to describe Frank Lautenberg in the way he would probably want to be described to all of you today is as a fighter. Senator Lautenberg fought for the things he believed in and sometimes he just fought because he liked to. He always reminded me that he was a kid from Paterson whose father died at a very young age, who served in the military and served his country, and then built a business which he was extraordinarily proud of, just as proud of his time at ADP as he was of his many years, nearly thirty years, in the United States Senate, and so today is a sad day for the people of New Jersey.
Whenever we lose someone who's committed to public service and has been an honest and dedicated public servant as Senator Lautenberg was it's a loss for everyone. Most particularly it's a loss for his wife Bonnie and his family, and so our thoughts and prayers are with them today because whatever loss we feel as New Jerseyans and whatever loss his colleagues feel in the United States Senate is minuscule compared to the loss that his family feels, his loved ones, and so I think it would be inappropriate for me to give any other speech today except to ask all of you to pray for the Lautenberg family today, to pray for the soul of Senator Lautenberg, and to give a prayer of thanks for his service to individual New Jerseyans and to our country.
And in the end, all of you who decide to get involved in public service, should aspire to have the same things said about you in whatever role that you play. That you were honest, that you were a fighter for the things that you believe in, and that you gave as good as you got. All those things can be said about Frank Lautenberg. And so I'm sure we're going to have a number of times over the course of the next few days to reflect upon his life and to pay him tribute in even a more public way. But for this morning, as the leader of this state and our people, I extend to the Lautenberg family and to his staff and friends, our deepest condolences.
And to Senator Lautenberg, I give him praise on a life well lived. I think we'd all signed up today for a life like Frank Lautenberg had of 89 years of fighting and fighting hard. And he's been a great example for the people of our state and we will certainly miss him. You're going to have a lot of other things to discuss today at the conference and I look forward to getting reports back on how things went and how they were received. I'm as committed today as I've always been to making sure that everybody who can make a positive contribution to government will be given the opportunity to do so and to help to make a difference in our state and our country the way Senator Lautenberg did."
U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J.:
"Today I am shaken by the loss of the Senior Senator from New Jersey – a colleague and my good friend and ally. Frank Lautenberg loved his job and the people who elected him 5 times, who trusted him to always be on their side, and he always was. He was a man for New Jersey, a man for his time, one of the greatest generation, the last in the Senate to have served in World War II.
His story was an American story. He was a man who joined two of his boyhood friends to found a successful business. He did well, and gave something back and New Jersey loved and admired him for what he did for this nation, what he did to help them build a better life for themselves and their families. Whether it was his landmark drunk driving law, the 21st Century GI Bill, or the "Toxic Right to Know" law empowering the public to know what pollutants are being released into their neighborhood, he was a fighter for New Jersey's working families and the causes he believed in. And, in death, New Jersey's love and admiration for him will not diminish. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Bonnie and his family."
U.S. Rep. Rush Holt, D-N.J.'s 12th District:
"This is a personal loss as well as a loss for New Jersey and the country. I don't think there will ever again be anybody quite like Frank Lautenberg.
Frank came from humble beginnings, and he never forgot that. The GI Bill sent him to Columbia University, and he always felt grateful for that and felt a need to pay back.
Much will be said about his accomplishments: keeping trains and buses safe, promoting public health, safeguarding chemical plants, keeping cigarettes out of planes, and more. But what stands out in my mind is what Frank did to prevent drunk driving. As part of his transportation work, he established limits on blood alcohol levels. Today you could fill several football stadiums with people who are alive only because of Frank Lautenberg – and not one of them knows who they are.
Frank was dogged; he was persistent. His colleagues in the Senate would sometimes laugh or smile about that: 'Here comes Frank again to try to twist our arms.' They liked him. Frank did his homework; he knew what he was talking about, and he just kept fighting.
Frank and I worked together on a number of things, so I feel this loss very personally. Frank, we miss you, but your ideas and your legacy live on."
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa.:
"I was saddened to learn of the passing of my friend and colleague, Senator Frank Lautenberg. I had the honor and privilege of working with him in the Senate, including a 2009 Congressional delegation trip to Israel and Turkey. The trip greatly contributed to our understanding of the Middle East Peace Process, and Frank's presence was invaluable to our delegation. He was a tireless advocate for the people of New Jersey, and his efforts in important areas such as public health, education, transportation and veterans will leave a lasting legacy. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife Bonnie, his children and his grandchildren."
U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa.:
"Sen. Lautenberg leaves a long legacy of serving this country dating back to his days as a signalman in World War II. I will always appreciate that one of his last legislative acts was to return to the Senate floor, even though he was not feeling well, to vote for my amendment to enhance background checks for commercial firearms sales. It has been an honor to serve alongside Sen. Lautenberg, and Kris and I will keep his family in our prayers."
U.S. Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick, R-Bucks/Montgomery counties:
"Senator Lautenberg was a selfless public servant, representing the state of New Jersey admirably for nearly 30 years. I was saddened to hear of his passing this morning.
As the last World War II veteran serving in the Senate, Senator Lautenberg brought a unique perspective to many discussions taking place in Washington.
As a 'traveling lawmaker' from the northeast like myself, I often saw Senator Lautenberg on the train to and from the nation's capital and appreciated his work to strengthen transportation projects in the region.
My deepest sympathies go out to his wife Bonnie and the rest of his family in their time of grief. "
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel:
"I was very saddened to learn of the passing of Senator Frank Lautenberg, the last World War II veteran to serve in the U.S. Senate. Frank was a good friend and respected colleague. He was a strong advocate for the men and women of our armed forces and their military families, and America's veterans. He was a member of America's 'greatest generation.' His passion and his leadership will be missed. Lilibet and my thoughts and prayers, as well as all of us at the Department of Defense, are with Bonnie and his family."

APCNews 111 – APC at IGF 2009, New publications
APCNews – November 16 2009 – Year X Issue 111
The news service on ICTs for social justice and sustainable development
The Internet Governance Forum is the only space of its kind in the world – it acts as a "pressure relief valve" for some of the most important and controversial issues related to running of the global internet. The IGF is in its fourth year of existence and next year could be its last. APCNews brings you quickly up to date with a brief on the most pressing issues to be debated and introduces you to our two new publications – the second edition of the APC ICT Policy Handbook and Global Information Society Watch 2009 which is being called «terrific and far more comprehensive than anything I've seen in this area ».
APC at the Fourth Internet Governance Forum
APC staff and members will be in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt at the fourth meeting of the Internet Governance Forum from November 15-18. We'll be running two workshops and launching two publications. Here's a quick video review of our activities : http://www.apc.org/en/node/9495

Do you have a right to online knowledge? Report shows open internet in danger
JOHANNESBURG (APC for APC/Hivos) – A new report that reveals how vulnerable the internet as we know it is, has just been published by two global civil society organisations. The annual report, called Global Information Society Watch was released today by the Association for Progressive Communications and Dutch-funder Hivos. GISWatch 2009 is entitled Access to online information and knowledge – advancing human rights and democracy.
The APC ICT policy handbook – second edition for the 2.0 generation
MONTEVIDEO (APC for APCNews) – In 2003, APC launched our first ICT policy handbook "for beginners" to critical acclaim. ICT policy was a relatively new area and very few really understood what was actually involved. The APC handbook was the first comprehensive guide for non-technicians. Now APC has published an
entirely rewritten second edition free and online for anyone to download.
Creating a code of good practice in internet governance
Since the inception of the IGF, the Council of Europe, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and APC have been working on a joint initiative on public participation in internet governance. Now a draft code of good practice on transparency, information and participation in internet governance is ready for comment!

If space is short in your garden, you can't go past herbs, says Justin Newcombe.
We grow vege gardens for pleasure, for stimulation, for exercise and we grow vege gardens for food. But if space or time is limited it becomes a question of priorities.
If I was to prioritise what I want most from my home garden it is flavour, and for that you can't beat a herb garden.
Herb gardens have strong medicinal, culinary and aesthetic traditions so are a huge part of the world's cultivated inheritance. Fresh herbs added to a tin of tomatoes can transform this supermarket staple into entirely new categories, like soup or sauce. What fresh herbs add is the word fresh to any meal. So if you're not fussed about gardening but you want to give your meals fresh flavours then concentrate on a herb garden.
Trying to grow space-hungry plants like garlic or onions in small town gardens can be enjoyable but is it productive? I would say no.
A much more productive way to garden in this situation is by gardening for flavours that you like to use for cooking. A few pots are a good start.
A pot is certainly the most appropriate place for herbs such as mint, which has such a vigorous habit that in time it can overtake your other plants.
But I suggest that once you start cooking with really fresh herbs, you'll find a larger herb garden might be in order. Many herbs do well in marginal ground. Thyme and fennel are two that spring to mind. Drying your herbs is also a wonderful way to flavour food over winter, and ground fennel or coriander seeds are the base of some tasty rubs for meat and fish while tea tree or manuka provides lovely smoking material.
Everybody loves basil which can be grown in conjunction with tomatoes and in many different forms and flavours.
I am a big French tarragon fan. I grow mine in a large pot because it prefers a free draining soil and the one I had in the ground died.
There are pseudo-herbs like rocket which add a peppery bite to any summer salad or stir fry.
Herbs also have an aesthetic component - that is, they look good in the garden. Chives for example make wonderful borders with their distinctive purple flower heads and grassy foliage, as well as having a lovely refreshing taste. Lavender can be used as a herb but its taste can be overbearing. As a rule I don't fancy it but I'm yet to taste lavender ice cream and I'm told lavender shortbread is to die for.
Actually, now that I think about it, my lack of success with lavender in the kitchen probably says more about my cooking than it does about lavender as a herb.
Rosemary, like lavender, makes a strong hedge. The bay laurel provides good garden structure and the opportunity to enjoy a bit of topiary action, but be aware that the bay tree can grow quite big if you let it get away on you. Its vigorous growth and attractive limbs make it a versatile landscaping tree and the dried leaves are a must for many sauces and hearty soups through the winter.
I really can't get enough herbs. Everything we plant, I use, so I've invested a bit of time constructing comparatively big herb bed. With the menagerie of herbal delights that spring up around vegetable garden each year I'm looking good for a very tasty summer indeed.

Marvin "Zimm" Zimmerman
Marvin "Zimm" Zimmerman
Marvin "Zimm" Zimmerman, beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, friend and cherished Nisswa community member, passed away peacefully Saturday, July 6, 2013.
He was born April 16, 1931, in Little Falls, Minn., to Barbara (Tuzinski) and Max Albert Zimmerman.
He was drafted into the U.S. military in 1952 and served for two years during the Korean Conflict. While in the military and stationed in Arlington, Va., he married Irma (Brogdon) on Feb. 13, 1954. In 1958 they moved to Nisswa, Minn., where Marvin worked as a linotype operator for Lakeland Color Press in Brainerd. Shortly after, in 1963, he began working at Nisswa Dock Company and purchased the business in 1965. He owned and operated the company for 48 years. Nisswa Dock Company was, is and will continue to be an iconic business in Nisswa.
Known as an avid snowmobiler, Marvin was a member of St. Christopher's Catholic Church and the John Deere Snowmobile Race Team from 1973-75. He was also president of the Gull Lake Drifters Snowmobile Club, a charter member of the Nisswa Lions Club, a member of the Nisswa City Council, as well as the Nisswa American Legion Post 627.
Marvin was a cherished husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend to many. He was always doing generous things for his loved ones as well as his community. He was one of the Nisswa community members who helped plan and make the Paul Bunyan Trail a reality. One of his biggest hobbies and something he loved to do was snowmobile. Marvin joked that instead of only putting 6,000 miles on his snowmobile he would put on 10,000 — if only there were enough snow! He also owned enough John Deere clothing to clothe a small country. Marvin could usually be found snowmobiling, working at Nisswa Dock or mowing lawn. Every spring when the docks were all put in, Marvin loved to travel to Canada, to a place with no phone to spend a week fishing.
Marvin will always be remembered as a kind, hospitable person. It didn't matter if you were his close family or someone he had just met, he treated you like family. He will be greatly missed, always remembered by and loved by his family, friends and community.
Survivors include his wife of 59 years, Irma (Brogdon) Zimmerman; children, Pam (Vince) Maurelli, Debbie Zimmerman, Daniel (Pamela) Zimmerman and Dennis (Shannon) Zimmerman; grandchildren, Heather (Joe) Peterson, Heidi (Jerred) Speller, Lucas (Leah) Popp, Andrew Popp, Ashley Zimmerman, Hannah Zimmerman and Shelby Zimmerman; two great-grandsons, Oliver and Leon Peterson; and his sister, Marian Smieja.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Max and Barbara Zimmerman; sister, Irene Gust; and brother, Fred Zimmerman.
Mass of Christian burial will be at 11 a.m. Thursday, July 11, 2013, at St. Christopher's Catholic Church in Nisswa with Father George Zeck officiating. Burial will be in Greenwood Cemetery in Nisswa with military honors provided by the Nisswa American Legion Post 627 Color Guard. Visitation will be held from 5-7 p.m. Wednesday at St. Christopher's Church and will continue the hour before services at the church Thursday.
In lieu of flowers memorials may be given to the American Diabetes Society, American Heart Association or the Gull Lake Drifters Snowmobile Club.
Arrangements are with Nelson-Doran Funeral Home and Crematory, Brainerd, Minn.

Nicely done!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Nicely done!!
Be a blessing to others, as you may entertain angels unaware!
I'm done and it will be in the mail at the end of the month when hubby gets paid...
Hope you like it here's a sneak peak!
(¸.´(¸. (¸.´¸¸.¨¯`.¸¸.♥¨¯`.¸¸.♥ Donna♥¨¯`.¸¸.♥
Miss A - WOW - a beautiful job!! waahooo to you:}
LV2 - I love it and will cherish it forever - so great for you to show me the sneak!!
Quilting as I go traveling down the road
Count your blessings, not your problems.
Anastasia - Very pretty! I like that pattern, and LOVE your color choices!!
Lv2Sew - Also very pretty! I need more 'Christmas' in my house!
Happiness is a new quilt and an old dog.
I think I figured out what to do on this one. I wonder if my secret partner wouldn't mind a winter theme of snowmen scenes. Nice to know she doesn't mind which shape I come up with and thinking I need to make it diamond on the ends so the center is square with a little hangover when she puts it on the table. Last year for Christmas I got these awesome rulers that help you make the triangles ont he ends and cut them right.
Life is short, live it while you still can. QuilterMomma
Snowmen sound great!
Be a blessing to others, as you may entertain angels unaware!
Love the ones already shown - wouldn't mind any of them. Okay, gonna try to post the pictures I've taken of all the runners, placemats, toppers I've made recently - one of them is actually going in the mail to someone here - but which one. She might know, but no one else will. Haven't finished quilting one of them, but the others are all done - and another of them is already wrapped for a gift, so they are getting used. Placemats are on my table right now, being used - so all my sewing had a purpose this time, not just finished and thrown in the closet!! Here we go --
Live today as if it may be your last, for who knows...
Had to make two postings to get them in --
Jaba, included some fabrics that would work will with a Mardi Gras runner
Live today as if it may be your last, for who knows...
They're all gorgeous! and I think I like mardi gras too!!! I'm just a little partial to purple you know. If you have no place for those to go, begging please please send my way.

Reviews of this property
Everything was fine except of the noise. It was a bit loud but at night it was ok. Marco is really friendly and a cool guy. I recommend it!
A clean apartment with everything needed (towels, kitchen equipment, washing machine, wifi). Nice and clean bathroom.
A perfect location. The tramway goes right past it, so it's very easy to go to the centre and we could even walk because it's not too far. You can hear the tram if the window is open but it's only during the day, not at night, so it didn't bother us at all. We slept very well!
Marco is very kind and helpful. He takes very good care of the apartment and guests. If we come back to Nice, we would definitely stay here again!
Merci beaucoup Marco!
We had a very nice stay. The studio is very clean and the sofa was really comfortable. While the staircase in the house looks a bit old, the flat and bathroom were recently renovated and in very good state. By walk the neighboorhood is 10-15 min away from the old town. Alternatively you can also take the tram for 2 stations. All dealings with the landlord were very smooth.
Only drawback: With open windows the tram in front of the building can be a bit loud. However we were always quiet tired so that we didn´t care.
We were looking for a cheep and simple place to stay and for the price of 60€/night it´s exactly what we got. We can recommand this studio.
Very nice and well-equipped studio, clean, comfortable sofa bed, a good location, ie just a short walk from the Old Town and right on the tram line. Marco is very nice and helpful. I had a great stay!
Sehr schönes und gut ausgestattetes Studio, sauber, bequemes Bettsofa, an guter Lage, d.h. nur wenige Gehminuten von der Altstadt entfernt und direkt an der Tramlinie. Marco ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Ich hatte einen tollen Aufenthalt!
Apartment small, cozy, clean and equipped with every comfort in a strategic position to ten minutes from the center of Nice, five from a large shopping center and thirty meters from a tram station. the owner is an honest and kind, we h Recommended also on travel to the locations near the city of Nice. Overall we can only be pleased with the stay.
Appartamento piccolo ed accogliente, pulito e dotato di ogni comfort in posizione strategica a dieci minuti dal centro di Nizza, a cinque da un grande centro commerciale e a trenta metro da una stazione del tram. il proprietario è una persona onesta e gentile, che ci h consigliati anche sugli spostamenti verso le mete vicine alla città di Nizza. Complessivamente non possiamo che essere soddisfatti della permanenza.
A suitably equipped studio. Nothing was missing. Very good sofa bed. Inexpensive for a great city like Nice. Not far to the center. Tram stop 200 meters (trains run every few minutes!); 3 stops until Garibaldi.
But not least, Marco is a really nice person. Whenever necessary assistance, Marco is there.
[Appropiate comfy studio. Nothing missed. Excellent sleeping device. Good value for Nice. Tram around the corner; 3 Stops to Pl. Garibaldi.
But not least: You'll meet MARCO as a nice and helpful guy].

Ein zweckmäßig eingerichtetes Studio. Nichts fehlte. Sehr gute Schlafcouch. Preiswert für eine tolle Stadt wie Nizza. Nicht weit zum Zentrum. Straßenbahnhaltestelle 200m entfernt (Bahn verkehrt im Minutentakt!); 3 Stationen bis Garibaldi.
But not least: MARCO ist ein wirklich netter Mensch. Wann immer Hilfe nötig, Marco ist da.

False information, we had to pay more because a person has visited us during the day.
Fausses informations, nous avons du payer plus parce que une personne nous a visité pendant la journée.
Small, very clean, modern and comfortable studio with very nice and helpful landlord. Highly recommended !!
Kleines, ganz sauberes, modern und komfortabel eingerichtetes Studio mit sehr nettem und hilfsbereitem Vermieter. Absolut zu empfehlen!!
Was on vacation in Nice for a week. Had rented one of Marco's studio's. Beautiful clean and delicious little studio. There was everything you needed. It was like being at home. Next time I come to Nice I will stay there. Marco is a great host! Thanks Marco! Greeting Per from Denmark
Var på ferie i Nice i en uge. Havde lejet en af Marco's studio's. Flot ren og lækker lille studio. Der var alt hvad man skulle bruge. Det var ligesom at være hjemme. Næste gang jeg kommer til Nice vil jeg bo der. Marco er en fantastisk vært! Tak Marco! Hilsen Per fra Danmark
Lovely studio close to the centre with all equipment needed (including necessary kitchen equipment, wash machine, fan, towels etc.). Marco is a nice friendly person willing to help with anything. There is a big parking space next to the street for travellers with car. I would recommend this studio to all the visitors. Higly recommended!
