(Special to the American Press)

Teams can play for a trophy, but that doesn't necessarily make it a rivalry. (Here's looking at you, LSU-Tulane Rag.)
The rivalry between Central Arkansas and McNeese State was born out of convenience rather than any previously established ire between the schools or regions. When UCA joined the Southland, its end-of-year opponent became the Cowboys since neither had a natural rivalry game. A trophy, the Red Beans and Rice Bowl, was created to sweeten the pot.
Then the strangest thing happened. The unnatural rivalry actually lived to its contrived billing, and has built up the intensity of those that are decades in the making.
"McNeese is always a game I thoroughly enjoy preparing for," said UCA coach Clint Conque. "It's a game that the players enjoy playing in. For me, having ties to that area, family and lifelong friends there. It's a game our program really embraces."
Conque's father-in-law, Sonny Jackson, coached McNeese from 1987-89, and Conque was one of his assistants.
Two of Conque's former assistants, Slade Nagle and Chris Hampton, joined the McNeese coaching staff this season.
"I think (the rivalry's) built more off of how competitive the games have been, not the coaches," said McNeese coach Matt Viator.
The series is split down the middle, which each team winning three times at home.
The last three games have been decided by just one score.
Last year, UCA survived for a 21-18 win over the Cowboys in Conway despite not scoring in the final 47 minutes of the game. McNeese went 3-for-6 in the red zone in the game, with two of the missed opportunities coming in the fourth quarter. The other turned into a 99-yard fumble return for a UCA score.
In 2010, also in Conway, the Cowboys came up short on four shots at the end zone from the UCA 4-yard line in the final minute of a 28-24 loss. UCA led that game 21-0 in the first quarter before McNeese stormed back. The loss cost McNeese a chance at a playoff berth.
In 2009, the last meeting between the two in Lake Charles, McNeese won 21-17 to clinch a share of the conference title. It took a defensive stand to get the job done as the Bears drove to the McNeese 38 with less than 2 minutes remaining before stalling with four straight incompletions.
"The last three years, the losing team has had the ball at the end of the game in all three cases," Viator said. "I think any time you're that competitive, it tends to build a rivalry."
With the rebirth of Lamar's football program, the Cowboys (4-1, 1-1 SLC) and Bears (4-2, 2-1) no longer meet at the end of the year. But moving the game to the middle of the season has done nothing to lower the stakes.
Only one team has ever won the Southland title with more than one conference loss. Thus, the loser of Saturday night's showdown will find itself trying to fight 46 years of history.
"It's a big game," said right tackle Alec Savoie. "We have to go undefeated the rest of conference to have a hope at winning. We've been up there the last couple years and lost. It's been '09 since we've beat them. It's really important we focus in this weekend and beat them."

PANCREATITIS, LACTIC ACIDOSIS and HEPATOMEGALY with STEATOSIS
Fatal and nonfatal pancreatitis has occurred during therapy with VIDEX used alone or in combination regimens in both treatment-naive and treatment-experienced patients, regardless of degree of immunosuppression. VIDEX should be s us pended in patients with suspected pancreatitis and discontinued in patients with confirmed pancreatitis [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, including fatalcases, have been reported with the use of nucleoside analogues alone or in combination, including didanosine and other antiretrovirals. Fatal lacticacidos is has been reported in pregnant women who received the combination of didanosine and stavudine with other antiretroviral agents. The combination of didanosine and stavudine should be used with caution during pregnancy and is recommended only if the potential benefit clearly outweighs the potential risk [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Officers band together to keep roads safe for summer travel
FALL BRANCH, Tenn. - It's almost time to pack up the car and hit the road for a summer vacation, but as your eyes stay on the road, officers' eyes are staying on you.
It's 6,000 miles on the open road for Luverne Ball and Ellen Barnes, making their way from Oklahoma to New York. "The traffic is heavy. It's been real heavy all the way," said Ball.
We learned that's just what's to be expected this time of year. "Now the weather's nice, and people are wanting to get out and go places, and it's good to remember that we've got to think about our safety," said Richard Holt with the Tennessee Governor's Highway Safety Office.
That's the goal for the next 100 days of summer -- Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, and Kentucky highway officers, along with about a dozen local law enforcement agencies, are collaborating to keep drivers across the region safe. "The purpose of it is just really one thing. We want to reduce injuries and reduce fatalities and make our roadways safe for everybody," said Bob Criswell with the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety.
We found out there are four main targets: cracking down on DUIs, speeding, distracted driving, and seatbelt usage. "I would say seatbelt usage is the number one thing," said First Sgt. M.R. Willis.
"Last year our seatbelt usage for Tennessee was around 83.7 percent. That means about 13 percent are still not buckling up," said Holt.
Statistics are going in the right direction this year. "Out of the first four months of this year, we've seen a 25 percent decrease in fatalities," said Capt. Stephen Street with Tennessee Highway Patrol.
"As of today [Thursday], the fatality total in Kentucky is 203, which is actually 75 fatalities less than the same date in 2012," said Criswell.
Agencies want to keep it that way.
This summer, we're told you'll see more checkpoints. "Driver's license checkpoints, sobriety checkpoints, [and] a new thing that we're using this year are seatbelt checkpoints," said Capt. Street.
Officers advise drivers obey the law or pay the price. "We don't want you to become the next fatality and statistic," said First Sgnt. Willis.
That's the plan for Ball and Barnes, just hoping to make it to their destination safe and sound. "We're in no hurry. We just want to see it all and do it all," Ball said.
Law enforcement officers also gave us these tips:
Keep an eye out for motorcyclists this time of year; you should always look twice because they can often be hard to spot inside a vehicle.
Also, move over anytime you see a vehicle on the shoulder of a road if you can do it safely. Otherwise, slow down.

NY Times Enrollment Story Only Half the Picture
posted at 3:27 pm on July 24, 2012 by Mike Antonucci
The New York Times has a story by Motoko Rich headlined, "Enrollment Off in Big Districts, Forcing Layoffs." And while no one is happier than I about the Times noticing that flattened or declining enrollment eventually leads to staff reductions, I can't go along with the analysis and conclusions from the article.
Using U.S. Department of Education data, Rich writes, "Enrollment in nearly half of the nation's largest school districts has dropped steadily over the last five years…. While the losses have been especially steep in long-battered cities like Cleveland and Detroit, enrollment has also fallen significantly in places suffering through the recent economic downturn, like Broward County, Fla., San Bernardino, Calif., and Tucson, according to the latest available data from the Department of Education, analyzed for The New York Times."
She adds, "The economy and home foreclosure crisis drove some families from one school system into another. Hundreds of children from immigrant families have left districts in Arizona and California as their parents have lost jobs. Legal crackdowns have also prompted many families to return to their home countries."
This is all sound reasoning as long as you cherry pick the declining districts and ignore the growing districts. I think we can safely include Las Vegas in "places suffering through the recent economic downturn," but its enrollment increased 8.4% during the same period Rich examined. If immigrant families losing their jobs and "legal crackdowns" account for the losses in Arizona and California, how then do we explain the double-digit growth in enrollment in nine separate large school districts in Texas? San Bernardino's enrollment is down 8.9%, but nearby Corona Norco's is up 14.3%. Did the immigrants flee 26 miles down the road?
Out of the 100 largest school districts, the top 10 growers consist of four from Texas, two from Utah, and one each from Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia. You can write an entirely different article with very different conclusions using just those districts, but it would be equally slanted.
The fact is: Total enrollment in all U.S. schools grew by 0.3 percent between 2005 and 2010, while enrollment in the 100 largest school districts declined 0.4 percent. That doesn't look like a very significant gap to me. There has been a gradual move of the populace from the Northeast and Midwest to the South and Mountain states. That's about the only trend I can discern from the enrollment data.

Nutcracker celebrates anniversary at the Paramount
BRISTOL, Tenn. - The Bristol Ballet celebrated 65 years of a Christmas favorite, The Nutcracker, at the Paramount this weekend.
The Ballet put on five shows from Friday to Sunday.
We're told this year was the first time in a decade that they've done the full length production.
They brought in dancers from New York City and West Palm Beach, Fla.
"We have Erin Ginn, our sugar plum fairy," said Michele Pleschia, the artistic director. "She's a freelance professional dancer in New York City but she actually grew up in Kingsport so we're happy to have her return to the Tri-Cities. There are plenty of people who remember her and will come to see her."
The youngest dancer in the production is seven years old.
We're told the dancers started rehearsals over the summer.

I love "Dump Soup" in the crockpot. Use a 6 qt. or modify amts. to fit.
6 cups chicken stock (or 2 reduced sodium chicken stock cubes and six cups water)
2 onions diced
2-4 stalks celery diced
1-2 carrots peeled and diced
garlic--as many cloves as you like, finely chopped
a couple of potatoes peeled and diced (optional if you like potatoes in your soup)
a couple of bay leaves
3-19 oz cans of beans--kidney, black, chick pea, navy, whatever you have or like--rinsed and drained
1 large can diced tomatoes
1 can Rotel tomatoes (optional)
1 jar or can of tomato based pasta sauce--NOT alfreddo!!
*possible other additions: corn, green beans, 1/2 lb. browned ground beef, a handfull of pot barley, pasta (add about 30 minutes before end of cooking time), a jar of salsa, taco seasoning...HEY it's called "Dump Soup" for a reason!!
Throw it all into the crockpot, set it on low and forget about it. Before serving, taste and add, if needed, salt, pepper and any other seasoning you like (I use mixed herbs, cumin and chipotele seasoning but we like ours spicy. Suit yourself) Serve with a dollop of sour cream and/or shredded cheddar and crusty garlic bread.
This freezes really well and is a great way to clear leftovers out of the fridge.

Five sets of twins born at Community Medical Center in one week
MISSOULA, Mont. - Community Medical Center in Missoula is seeing double this week.
The hospital is used to delivering babies, and it's not unusual to deliver twins.
Community usually records six to 10 sets of twins a year. But five sets in five days? That could be a record.
NBC Montana had the privilege of meeting two of the families who had twins.
Alivia and Nathan were born to Krista and Tony King. Tony is an identical twin himself.
The boy and girl twins started a trend when they came into the world on Monday.
Another set of twins, a boy and girl, were born the same day.
Then on Friday, there was a streak of twin births, 3 sets in one day. Four of the sets of twins are boy/girl teams. The last twins to be born Friday are little girls.
Allie and Dylan McFarland had a boy and girl. They named the boy Will, after his grandfather.
The McFarlands are asking NBC Montana viewers for suggestions on names for their baby girl.
If you have a favorite girl's name, go to the KECI Facebook page and let us know.
Lara Porrini is the registered nurse in labor and delivery who helped in three of the twin births.
Porrini went to high school with two of those couples back in Kalispell, including the McFarlands. She and both couples remain good friends.
"Flathead High has had a big day," said Porrini.
"I haven't heard of this many twins born in one week in the history of the hospital," said Community's OBGYN clinical manager Cindy Wolverton.

Tamron SP 70-200mm f2.8 Di VC USD Canon review - Excellent Value and a Great All RounderBy Ben Boswell - Thursday February 21 2013 Lens Review
Tamron SP 70-200mm f2.8 Di VC USD Canon Vs Canon EF 70-200 f2.8L IS II USM Vs Sigma 70-200 f2.8 EX DG APO OS HSM Canon
Given that the lens reviewed is the Canon version the most appropriate comparisons are with other 70-200 f2.8 lenses with Canon mounts. There are two others in the market at the moment that have been tested by DxOMark: Canon's EF 70-200 f2.8L IS II USM and Sigma's 70-200 f2.8 EX DG APO OS HSM. The specifications for these three lenses are almost interchangeable: the Tamron is fractionally shorter, the Sigma is fractionally lighter but the numbers are very close. The biggest single difference is not unexpected: the Canon lens has an indicative price significantly higher than either the Sigma or the Tamron, seeming to position it apart from the two independent lenses.
The measurements for these three lenses are all pretty good but the lens that is set apart from the others this time is the Sigma, because it doesn't quite match up. The Canon has a DxOMark score of 24, close to the 25 of the Tamron, while the Sigma has a score of 20. When you break the Sigma's scores down further none of the individual measures is best, Sharpness at 14P-Mpix being the worst. The Canon and the Tamron are close in all measures except for Chromatic aberration where the Tamron and Sigma are good at 7µm while the Canon is exceptionally good at 3µm.
In the tests for transmission, distortion, vignetting and chromatic aberration the scores for each of the lenses are predominantly good. It is only when you start to compare them that one looks weaker than the others. In vignetting for instance, individually the lenses look OK but side by side the Sigma is relatively poor compared to the Canon
Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD Canon Vs Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED Vs Sony 70-200mm F2.8 G
A comparison with the equivalent lenses from other makers: Nikon and Sony gives a much more clear-cut picture. Again the specifications are very similar, even the prices are closer, but the Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED which has been on the market since 2002 and the Sony 70-200mm F2.8 G since 2006 and both fall well short of the Tamron in performance. The big disappointment is in sharpness: the Nikkor scores 13 P-Mpix and the Sony 13 P-Mpix. As sensor resolutions get bigger this is quite a sacrifice to be making. Nikon has a newer version of this lens too – the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II – which will be reviewed soon. Maybe Nikon will have made improvements that will change these findings.
Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD Canon vs. Tamron SP AF 70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD (IF) MACRO Canon
Tamron is not new to having a 70-200mm f2.8 lens, its previous version, the SP AF 70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD (IF) MACRO Canon has been on the market for 5 years. It isn't a bad lens and it does have a macro facility that, for some people will still make it preferable, it is also much cheaper. However, it isn't as sharp, and has no image stabilisation, two of the things that make the new lens so good.

The first few days were spent on the main island of Vitu Levu acclimitising, before we hired a car and headed along the south coast to Beqa Lagoon to shark dive- thats right....you heard me correctly SHARK DIVE
Like many of our car rental journeys to date, this one obvioulsy had its fair share of problems. The main one being that we cracked the windshield within moments of hiring the vehicle...oops - what have I done to this country to deserve this! Luckily when we returned the car Naomi managed to argue our way out of paying for the damage. As the car was not meant to be driven on unsealed roads, and they had dropped the car off on the shoreline on the beach next to our hotel, thats right the beach...not a road, they let us off on a minor technically...phew.
So anyway back to the shark diving. On the morning of the dive, I must admit breakfast was quite a quiet afare between Naomi and I. There were five tourists (including us) that would dive that day plus the nutters, sorry I meant to say experienced guides that would join us on the boat. Though both Naomi and I are qualified divers, neither of us had dived for many years a much needed refresher course in the hotel swimming pool was necessary
We carried out two 30minute dives and saw a whole variety of sharks and other massive fish. The visual display was truely amazing and though it was indeed a mass frenzy it did feel safe and controlled - well as safe as it could possibly be. I did have a shark hit me with its tail at one point which was a bit unnerving.
We saw about 6 different varieties of shark, with the biggest measuring as long as six metres.
The following web address will give you an idea as to the size of these animals:
After leaving Beqa Lagoon with all limbs intact we headed further along the coast and met up with Naomi`s friend Sarah and her Fijian boyfriend also called Mark
It was always our plan to spend the majority of the holiday resting and relaxing, so whst better place than the Yasawa`s - a group of islands off the coast of Nadi. Hopping on a ferry we were whisked away to a couple of islands. Out of the couple of islands that we visited we were very much taken with Manta Ray island - so called becuase of the manta rays that can be found off the beach. The island was everything that we had hoped. It was very basic but had enough luxurys not too feel fake and against everything you expect from a desert island. The people were very friendly both staff and tourist crowd, the food was great, the beach was beautiful, the weather was incredible and the snorkelling was out of this world. More varieties than I had ever seen whilst snorkelling - even scuba diving for that matter. I even got to see a Manta Ray even though it was out of season for them - but it did involve me snokelling for near on 7 hours.
Over all.....the best holiday ever!

Fastest SUV in the world currently. will kick your cayennes asses, SRTs asses and most cars on the road. When you think of suv's or crossovers you think of slow. That is exactly the opposite of the all new X5M and X6M with a 555-hp 4.4L twin-turbocharged V8 that takes them from 0-60 in just 4.5seconds . This is faster than the BMW M3 coupe which BMW says does 0-60 in 4.7. dont worry though you will need around 95K to purchase one
passenger in porsche - shit you just got your ass kicked by and SUV.

I would start by saying this apartment could not be better placed, it's position next to the Uffizi and a stones throw from the Ponte Vecchio could not be bettered. The apartment itself was situated in an unpreposessing road both narrow and dark, with evidence that close neighbours might be using their premises for night work.
If the building it was in was 14th century as described I would be astonished, think servants quarters rather than home of anyone else. The description led us to believe that the apartment had been renovated in 2012, if I had paid for the renovation I would ask for my money back. Most things in the kitchen worked but not the oven, to get to the second bedroom one had to go through the first not terrible but inconvenient at times,
The aparment is really good, location is one of the best. You are in the center of the city and every point of interest in florece can be reach by walking. In the apartment you find everything you need. Osvaldo is friendly and came always on time. I would recomend this apartment if you are looking a nice place to stay in florence with your family.
Voor mijn vrouw en ik en mijn drie dochters van 13, 15 en 17 jaar was dit de perfecte uitvalsbasis voor 10 dagen in Florence. Op twee hoog in een klein straatje konden wij telkens na te zijn ondergedompeld in de drukte van de stad, rustig toeven. Geen uitzicht, maar daarvoor ga je toch naar buiten. Voorzieningen (keuken, badkamer) waren oke, met ook nog drie ventilatoren en een air conditioning apparaat in de woonkamer. Verder kregen wij ook nog twee sets schone lakens en handdoeken. Manager Osvaldo was behulpzaam. Al met al een goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding.

Квартира в тихом месте, но расположена в цокольном этаже, поэтому если на улице не стоит жара, то чувствуется сырость, возможно летом в жару там как раз хорошо. Шкафы старые, лучше ими не пользоваться, запахи еще те... Диваны накрыты покрывалами, фотографу - 5 баллов. Оптимально для 4 человек. С собой нужно брать все, начиная с мыла. Хотя фен и утюг там все-таки есть.
Освальдо не очень пунктуален, ждали его в день приезда, хорошо что не взял с нас залог, потому что и в день нашего отъезда нам пришлось уйти, оставив ключи и захлопнув дверь, наш поезд его не ждал.

This studio is located very close to Il Duomo, on the 4th (top) floor of an old building -no elevator. While not having a view, it is bright thanks to a skylight and another high window. The large bathroom window and the small bedroom window can be opened so that there is plenty of fresh air. Comfortable bed, excellent bathroom and kitchen. Check-in and check-out was easy.
great location in Florence, confortable and spacious appartment, good beds.
The place was very nice and large, great location in the centre of florence and had everything you needed inside e.g. Cooking utensils. Osvaldo was very thorough that everything was in order before renting. Would definately stay here again
When our original accomodation booking fell through at two days' notice, we were very grateful to Osvaldo for helping us out. The apartment advertised here was not available, so an alternative was arranged (in Via della Pergola). The location was still great, and the room was nice and clean (though the beds were very small). The only slight disappointment was that the kitchen and living area were shared, and the price was the same as a self-contained apartment. That said, we had a wonderful stay in the beautiful city and Osvaldo was very helpful and pleasant to deal with.

Security experts believe that Iran has declared 'cyber war' on the US, claiming that the Islamic nation was almost certainly responsible for a spate of online attacks against American banks last September.
"There is no doubt within the U.S. government that Iran is behind these attacks," said James A. Lewis of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington in an interview with the New York Times.
See all CES coverage here!
Dozens of America's largest banks were hit during the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, including Bank of America, Citigroup, HSBC, JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo and others. As a result their websites went down or were only accessible intermittently for a number of days before authorities were able to block the malicious traffic. Just last month, it's believed that the same hackers launched a second wave of attacks, this time targeting five banks and again crippling their websites.
Experts said at the time that the attacks were unprecedented in their size, citing the excessively large amount of bandwidth flooding their websites. Investigators have since discovered that the hackers pulled off an audacious trick to generate that enormous flow of traffic, infecting dozens of data centers around the world with a virus called Itsoknoproblembro and then using these to direct the attacks.
According to the NYT, it was precisely due to this that the finger of suspicion pointed at Iran. The huge amount of traffic, coupled with the level of know-how required to pull of such a stunt would almost certainly require government sponsorship of some sort, and Iran has more reason than most to engage in such an attack. Another reason US officials are so convinced that a state was behind the attacks is the fact that the hackers made no attempt to steal private data or customer information.
Establishing a motive is simple enough – the Iranians see themselves as victims having had seen their own nuclear facilities come under attack from sophisticated viruses such as the Stuxent malware, which is believed to have been planted by the US or Israel to stall progress on its suspected nuclear weapons projects.
At the time of the attacks, a little known group calling itself the Cyber Fighters of Izz ad-din Al qassam claimed responsibility, adding that they were protesting at the controversial 'Mohammed mocking' video posted on YouTube. However, officials are now convinced that this was either a smokescreen or simply just a fraudulent claim.

UTSA Business Building, 1604 Campus
UTSA MBA ranks in Princeton Review top 10
By Wendy Frost
Director of Communications, UTSA College of Business
(Oct. 11, 2006)--The UTSA College of Business was ranked as one of the top 10 minority programs for MBA students nationally, according to the 2007 edition of the Princeton Review.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

As the only UT System school ranked, the UTSA College of Business shared the spotlight with schools such as Howard University, Thunderbird and the University of San Francisco.
"Nationwide, MBA programs average only 10 percent minorities. UTSA is leading the nation with more than 30 percent of our graduate students being minorities," said Diane Walz, associate dean for graduate studies and research in the College of Business. "This is crucial as the demographic shift in the United States will soon reflect a larger minority population. Our students are valuable assets to national companies looking to boost their minority representation in response to this need."
The Princeton Review conducted surveys with 18,000 students attending business schools and received institutional data from universities to round out its rankings.
Business schools were judged by those offering the greatest opportunity for minority students based on percentage of minority students, percentage of minority faculty and resources for minority students.

Rome today is one of the most important tourist destinations of the world, due to the incalculable immensity of its archaeological and artistic treasures, as well as for the charm of its unique traditions, the beauty of its panoramic views, and the majesty of its magnificent "villas" (parks). Among the most significant resources are the many museums – (Musei Capitolini, the Vatican Museums, Galleria Borghese, including those dedicated to modern and contemporary art and great many others) – aqueducts, fountains, churches, palaces, historical buildings, the monuments and ruins of the Roman Forum, and the Catacombs. Rome is the 3rd most visited city in the EU, after London and Paris, and receives an average of 7–10 million tourists a year, which sometimes doubles on holy years. The Colosseum (4 million tourists) and the Vatican Museums (4.2 million tourists) are the 39th and 37th (respectively) most visited places in the world, according to a recent study.
Rome is a major archaeological hub, and one of the world's main centres of archaeological research. There are numerous cultural and research institutes located in the city, such as the American Academy in Rome, and The Swedish Institute at Rome, to name a few. Rome contains numerous ancient sites, including the Forum Romanum, Trajan's Market, Trajan's Forum the Colosseum, and the Pantheon, to name but a few. The Colosseum, arguably one of Rome's most iconic archaeological sites, is regarded as a wonder of the world.

Az ingatlan értékelései
We (a family with two children) stayed in this appartement for five days and enjoyed it very much! It´s a simple but comfortable flat and its position in the city is brilliant! Just a few meters to the next tram station and from there about ten minutes to reach the historic center of Rome.
A házigazda egyéb ingatlanjainak értékelései
Sabrina is a very nice person to talk with.
Had a cool conversation with her!
The appartment was nice and clean and very central and has the charme of the old city of Barcelona.
Would like to stay there again, when i visit Barcelona the next time.
The only thing, that is missing, is air conditioning, but you can sleep without, if you open the windows.
The apartment is situated in walking distance (ca 8min) to the Vatican,
It's spacious with 2 big bedrooms and one very small one with a kind of sofa bed-
Towels are there, bedsheets were fresh- a bottle of red wine and croissants for the morning welcomed us- the person called Mrs Anna was very helpful and welcomed us with cheer...
The elevator takes you the last floor and the flat is bright-
The only thing to recommend to the house keeper is a better cleaning- we did a lot while we were there, as buying washing liquid and sponges- cleaning the coffe mashine and i tried to remove the lime in the water boiler..
But besides that it's perfect
Thank you for making our stay so nice
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
It is a nice little apartment with good central location .
The communication with the owner Sabrina worked fine.
Nice apartment and nice host. Very patient even though we where almost an hour delayed for our arrival.
close to all the central attractions.
Sabrina was af great host. She gave us some details about rome and was Nice and sweet
We had a very nice stay in Rome. The apartment is located near the vatican. So it was a good starting point for all our activities.
Sabrina helped us to find a taxi from and to the airport which made it very easy to find the apartment. And she answered all our questions which we had before travelling there as far as it was the first time for us to book with Wimdu.
I can really recommend her as a host.
Very nice expirience. Very nice apartment in a perfect place. Sabrina was the perfect host.
I strongly recomend it.

Abilene boy, 8, collects 1,000 canned goods for 'less fortunate'
ABILENE, Texas - More than 1,000 canned goods have been collected as a result of an effort led by an 8-year-old Abilene boy who gave up birthday presents to help those less fortunate.
Brady Villanueva spearheaded the effort to help Love and Care Ministries line its shelves with 1,068 canned goods as of Monday morning.
According to a Love and Care Ministries' official, the organization won't have to dip into its warehouse this week because of the Brady Villanueva-led donations.
A story on KTXS last week told of the child's canned food drive:
It's not something you hear every day: a 7-year-old giving up birthday presents to help those less fortunate.
"He's normal to me. He's my picture of perfect," said his mother, Crystal Lane.
At age three, Brady Villanueva was diagnosed with a bleeding disorder that prevents his blood from clotting.
"When he has surgeries, he has to get special medications to make sure he doesn't bleed too much," said Lane.
In an effort to calm him down before his last surgery, Brady's parents inadvertently helped him do something no one would expect.
"We thought what better way to get his mind off of everything than to talk about his birthday?" said Lane. "We asked him what he wanted."
What he said next, surprised everyone.
"I said I wanted canned goods to donate to the homeless," said Brady.
He's been collecting cans ever since, to help fill the shelves at Love and Care Ministries.
"I just feel like they could use a little help," said Brady.
"He's not thinking of himself. He's thinking of other people," said Founder and Executive Director of Love and Care, Mark Hewitt.
"There's always those special kids, and I think he's one of them," said Hewitt. "I look forward to the day he brings the canned goods and I'll give him a hug and tell him thank you."
He is also collecting can openers. He was worried people wouldn't be able to open the goods. He has almost 40 of those.
Brady's parents said he has always had a selfless nature.
"Not very many 7-year-olds want to give to the community and to the homeless," said his father, Eugene Villanueva.
"He's got a huge heart and he's always willing to help somebody else out," said Lane.
They're his biggest fans.
"Honestly, he's my hero," said Lane.
"You could only wish for a kid like that. They don't come around too often," said Villanueva.
Brady's birthday party is tomorrow and he's hoping to reach his goal of 500 cans. His actual birthday falls on Easter Sunday, when he will turn eight.
If you want to help him out on his mission, you can drop canned food off at the First Baptist Church in Buffalo Gap, or you can stop by Love and Care Ministries on Monday to donate.
Brady will be there dropping off his can collection.

I have a long stretch of country road (2 miles) with sholder and ditch that could be planted with honey producing plants. Any recommendations or past sucess stories would be greatly appreciated. On the list of plants to consider so far are: buckwheat, horse mint & fireweed, crimson clover & new england aster. As always, thanks for contributing and helping me along the journey - Martin

Brandon Chase found guilty of April 2012 murder in Jefferson City
Chase faces up to life in prison
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - A Cole County jury took three and a half hours deliberating in the Brandon Chase murder trial, finding him guilty on all three counts.
The jury found Chase guilty of murder, armed criminal action and robbery. He could face up to life in prison.
The charges stem from the April 2012 shooting death of Keith Mosely during a drug deal.
Chase took the stand in his own defense Wednesday, stating he wanted nothing to do with the situation last April.
The trial began Tuesday in Jefferson City.
The prosecution and defense were able to make their opening statements after jury selection wrapped up Tuesday. Both sides laid out all the details of what happened the night of the murder, but disagree who had what part.
Cole County prosecutor Mark Richardson says 34-year-old Keith Mosely drove from Columbia to Jefferson City to help sell marijuana.
Instead of selling the drugs, Chase devised a plan for him and two others to rob Mosely, according to the prosecution.
Richardson acknowledged Chase did not have a gun on him, but he says he should be found guilty because he was a part of the robbery that led to the death of Mosely.
Chase's lawyer told the jury the prosecution's story did not actually happen. The defense says Chase was informed by the two other men about the plan to rob Mosely, but claims Chase did not want to partake in it.
The prosecution was able to call to the stand several police officers that responded to the shooting. The officers described the scene and what they saw after the shooting death.
This is the second time Chase has stood trial, after a judge declared a mistrial because of a hung jury in March.

Views of installation piece, "Zephyr," 2006, by Troy Stanley.
UTSA Satellite Space presents 'Attainable Piece' exhibit
(March 4, 2008)--The UTSA Satellite Space, part of the Department of Art and Art History, will present the exhibit, "Attainable Piece: New Works by David Medina, Aram Nagle and Troy Stanley," March 6-22. Free and open to the public, the exhibit features new works by the Houston-based sculptors.

Also on view in the Connie Swann studio will be a selection of artwork from the UTSA graduate program and other regional artists.
Opening receptions are 6-9 p.m, Thursday, March 6 and 6-10 p.m., Friday, March 7 at the gallery in Blue Star Arts Complex Suite 115 at S. Alamo and Probandt streets. The Friday reception is part of First Friday, the monthly art gallery open house in the Southtown district.
Curated by UTSA graduate student Tommy Gregory, the group exhibition is punctuated by impeccable craftsmanship that suggests nostalgia and a longing for serenity. Each artist uses repetitive elements and organic and synthetic materials to lead the viewer to think about the human relationship to nature.
Medina's sculptures suggest a transformation from an organic to a ritualistic state. Nagle's work is based upon personal history and sensitive observation that is both whimsical and wistful. Stanley creates a synthetic environment that challenges viewers to consider concepts of life and objects and to play a more dynamic role in the installation and their everyday lives.
Gallery hours are noon-6 p.m., Friday-Sunday, or by appointment. For an appointment, contact Connie Swann at (210) 458-4391 (Department of Art and Art History) or (210) 212-7146 (gallery).

Many kids help out around the house with chores such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances or other rewards such as extra computer time.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. "Running any kind of household is a team effort," Walton told TFK. "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look."
Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other reward motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also now apps that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed either online or in the real word. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. "Our goal is to empower kids so they can earn rewards," says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. "Kids need positive reinforcement to help motivate them."
What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting something in return?
Write a 200-word response. Send it to firstname.lastname@example.com. Your response may be published in a future issue of TIME For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information for your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.
Then, be sure to vote for your opinion!

The number of deer farms in the country is declining, says Deer Industry New Zealand producer manager Tony Pearse.
In 2002, there were about 5000 farms and 2.3 million deer, many of them on lifestyle blocks. Now, 10 years later, about 2800 farms still operate but they are mainly larger, with a total of 1.3 million deer. Two thirds are in the South Island.
There are about 20 active deer farms in the Wanganui/Rangitikei/Ruapehu area, and other former deer farms where land use has changed.
"There are an awful lot of deer fences around the countryside without deer behind them, and deer sheds and yards not getting used anymore," Central Region Deer Farmers' Association chairman Craig Hocken says. "It's a shame."
He farms about 300 deer near Colyton.
Deer farming is losing ground to dairying, he says. A lot of people left the industry between 2002 and 2005, when prices fluctuated wildly. But, for the last four years, the price of farmed venison has been relatively steady.
Most of it is exported to Europe, especially Germany, and to the United States.
The price of deer velvet has also been relatively stable for the past three years. Most of that is exported to Asia, especially Korea.
Most of the deer farmed in New Zealand are red deer. The smaller fallow deer proved difficult to contain and work with because they were flighty, feisty and inclined to escape, says Mr Hocken. "They're not afraid of anything. They're a very tough little critter."
They also had smaller carcasses, which sold well in Saudi Arabia but less well elsewhere.
Unsuccessful farmers of fallow deer were not allowed to release them, but sometimes they gave them to farmers to hold on their land for hunting.


text: Buzz, I woudl not recommend that and i am not sure it woudl work either. One the blade is supported by a fairly large carriage in a table saw. If you loosen that carriage while the saw is running. and add stress to it by having it cut. I am not certain what sort of problems it might cause. Along with that you woudl have to see how a blade is moving when it tilts to really get it. but it is not a nice long curving motion. Finally your arm would get worn out after just a few boxes. progress would be painfully slow. You would want the blade tilted a few degrees something like 14 to 15 degrees even with a sled.

VIDEO: Polygonal Turning
Here are links to two video samples of a cool process for turned parts that has the potential for considerable time and part cost reductions, versus milling operations, when producing radii.
Several months ago in our PM Inbox Insight monthly e-newsletter, I wrote about Schwanog's polygon turning tools. These cool cutting tools require no spindle stop, thus providing the potential for considerable time and part cost reductions, versus milling operations, when producing radii.
Since writing that column about the product, Schwanog has added a visually descriptive animated video to its website that clearly shows how the process works. The part and tool are turning and require the same conditions as when turning flats. A corresponding driven tool or a tool spindle turns synchronically to the main spindle. The turning direction of the tool and the cutter are then reversed, in comparison to polygon turning of flats, so that the part and the cutter run in the same direction. Because of the higher circumferential speed of the tool, the cutter passes the part, and a radius is established on the turned part.
A YouTube video (above) of the polygonal turning process (not with the Schwanog tools) shows an actual finished part.

For those who build your own hive and nuc boxes do you use some sort of tin on top of the cover or do you just put a couple of good coates of paint on them?
If you just paint does it cause a moisture problem in the winter or early spring when it starts thawing with all that snow on top of the box.
If you put tin on them what do you use, flashing, sheets of tin plate, or used printing press plates? If you do use tin how do you cut and mold it to the top of the box?

Election Guide: 7 vie for Hayden council; mayor unopposed
The Hayden Town Council has five seats up for election — four council seats and mayor — instead of the usual four. Council member Tim Redmond was appointed in February 2009 to fill the seat vacated by Trace Musgrave, whose four-year term began in April 2008. Hayden's charter requires that any vacated seat filled by appointment or special election come up for vote during the next regular election, and Redmond's seat will be up for election again in November 2012, restoring the four-year term.

Arsène Wenger believes the destination of the Premier League crown could be decided by results of the games between the traditional 'bigger sides' this season.
Chelsea travel to Manchester United this weekend for the first meeting of two title rivals and the Arsenal manager feels the outcome of these games will be decisive come May.
"Certainly," he told Arsenal.com. "Of course, they will have an impact at the end of the season.
"Both teams are lucky because they play against someone who has also played in the Champions League.
"I believe Chelsea have a little advantage having 24 hours more rest but Manchester United have such a big squad now."
The full interview with Wenger is now available. He discusses: the team's search for confidence, Laurent Koscielny's encouraging form, a new system for set-pieces, confidence in his transfer window captures and Blackburn's start to the season.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
