Professor, Department of Microbiology & Immunology
STUDENT AFFAIRS: The goal of my work in Student Affairs is to provide dedicated and individualized support to Einstein Medical Students throughout their basic science and clinical studies.
FUNGAL PATHOGENESIS: Since the late 1970s, the rates of many important human fungal infections have significantly increased. This dramatic rise is associated with the growing numbers of immunocompromised individuals, particularly patients receiving chemo- or immuno-therapy, recovering from invasive surgery, or individuals with HIV/AIDS. Despite the increased prevalence of mycotic diseases, there remains an enormous gap in knowledge and our current therapeutic armamentarium all too often fails to eradicate these insidious pathogens. The major focus of my laboratory is on the pathogenesis of human pathogenic fungi, especially Histoplasma capsulatum, Candida parapsilosis, and Cryptococcus neoformans.
NANOPARTICLE AND siRNA THERAPEUTICS FOR WOUND HEALING: A scecond focus area of the laboratory is on innovative approaches to wound healing, especially leveraging the delivery of compounds via nanoparticles. In collaboration with the laboratory of Dr. David Sharp (Physiology & Biophysics), we are targeting microtuble severing enzymes as a mechanism for tightly regulating cell migration in order to enhance tissue regeneration. In collaboration with Dr. Adam Friedman (Medicine [Dermatology] and Physiology & Biophysics) and Dr. Joel Friedman (Medicine and Physiology & Biophysics) we are exploring diverse applications of a novel, simple and inexpensive nanoparticle platform for drug delivery. We are exploring the therapeutic potential of nitric oxide delivered in sustained release by the nanoparticles for the treatment of diverse infectious diseases, including bacterial and fungal diseases.

It is no secret that I
am not a fan of closed source web applications and think
they are ultimately detrimental to the future. Unlike
others, I don't see a distinction between a "service" and an
application. To argue that "services" don't need to free
because they are somehow different than applications ignores
the reality that for the average user, that distinction no
longer exists. Ubuntu Netbook Edition is explicitly
applications because they claim that web-based tools can
replace them, not to mention the more extreme
Jolicloud and ChromeOS which do away with desktop
applications all together. If we are not careful, we will
end up back in the 1980s again, wondering where the source
code to our
printer word processor went.
However, the reality is that until recently, there were few really good choices in some categories. I run my personal website, coreyburger.ca, on Wordpress, but that is one of the few categories where Open Source has been ahead of the closed source world in terms of ease of use and marketshare.
One of the major holes until recently was Google Analytics, which gives website admins some powerful tools for tracking visitors and how they use your site (and all that entails). Thankfully, this hole has been very well filled with Piwik, an open source competitor to Google Analytics that is racing to feature parity.
So about two months ago I decided to ditch GA as part of a general trend to slowly excise these closed source online applications from my life and jump to Piwik and I haven't looked back. It only needs the LAMP stack, so it will run anywhere Wordpress will. So for those users of GA, I encourage you to free yourself just a little bit more and give Piwik a try.

BeeMaid honey is in Canadian Starbucks. No second rate foreign import put in that coffee !
BeeMaid honey is in Canadian Starbucks. No second rate foreign import put in that coffee !
Ian Steppler >> Canadian Beekeeper's Blog
In fact I don't know even one company that you mentioned.
So, show us please the real companies, that "…don't have Ultrafiltration Equipment."
Nevertheless, I know these companies:
Dutch Gold Honey
You can see the video from my post #117 also.
Sue Bee Honey, Sioux Honey Association
Gamber Container, Inc.
Some info about Sioux Honey Association:
"Huser said the Sioux Honey Association and other producers shun ultra-filtration in favor of a more traditional, much less aggressive technique, called macro filtration, to remove bee parts, wax and other debris from the hive...
"When we do that, we incidentally remove most (!!!) of the pollen," he said."…
According to the Food Safety News story, Sue Bee Honey "declined repeated requests for comments on ultra-filtration, what Sue Bee does with its foreign honey and whether it's ultra-filtered when they buy it."
Now, probably after some criticisms, instead of this statement: "When we do that, we incidentally remove most (!!!) of the pollen,"
new statement is posted here: http://www.suebee.com/?q=node/32 - "...which incidentally removes SOME of the pollen,"

For the past 5 yrs. i don't know how many customers at the farmers market tell me that their doctor said they couldn't do anything more for there allergies and that they could try local honey,that some people say it helps them? Well, i have people tell me after eating my raw honey, it's the only thing that has helped them or there children and as long as they can find it they will never buy anything else. So if it's mental or physical who is to say?If the person feels better or feels cured, that's a good thing.By the way, doctors will tell you that all allergies are not caused by things in the air The Honey Vs Allergy is becoming like the Global warming fight,we can see it happening.
If you are selling honey, how does your price compare to the shelf price of those found on stores shelves? The one w/out pollen. Are you charging a premium for your honey? Or are you selling it for less so you can get rid of it? A statement I often hear.
Mark Berninghausen
With that reasoning (doctors recommending honey for allergy because some patients self report that it helps them), seems like we should be expecting professional financial advisers to recommend a trip to vegas, and buying scratch tickets as ways out of debt....or ways to finance an empire!

Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
It's hard to argue with success
Allergists recommend, if that's the right word, the use of Local Raw Honey because they don't know any better either and it can't hurt. So, if the patient experiences relief, no none loses. People thing and believe all sorts of things which aren't true.
Mark Berninghausen
O. K., I'll bite. I'm really curious about this, speaking as someone on the "selling" side, who is interested to know a bit more to maybe help marketing. How do you, as the customer, tell how much pollen if any is present in honey when you're out shopping for it?yes, because, many of "us" are on customer side. Apparently, many wanted to know what they are buying? -cerezha
If you buy directly from the beekeeper, his word is the only thing you can go by...If you buy from a store, any store...you can take the clerk's word, or go by what's on the label, or go to whatever/whomever you think or accept as authority... What else you've got?
Interesting read guys, I sell a little honey locally and quite frankly it is the best honey that I have tasted in years (the only honey I have tasted in years) and my customers all agree with me on that score. Taste matters with raw honey.
Some of you would like to get the FDA involved with setting standards, I feel that with our foundering free market system GOVT involvment would soon side with big honey and all the small producers would be forced out of the market place, some legislation in VA at one point was targeting small producers so be careful in what you wish for.
About bees not gathering wind blown pollen, I personally have seen bees gathering ragweed pollen so who really knows where the bees do all there shopping.
The news media is making food shoppers more aware of what they are buying and feeding there family, with the Govt. allowing food (honey is one) in from China and other country's shoppers start reading the labels. With the problems over the years with China products for one, people shy away from food products from China, i know i do.Once they see (not all the customers) honey labeled from China and other countries on the shelf where they shop they start looking for local honey and other home grown food at Farmers Markets, Health food stores, ect,I sell produce and honey at the Farmers Market and hear customers say they hate to see winter coming because they have to buy that crap out of the stores.When people become aware of how honey is processed to put it on the retail shelves, it gathers dust until the local beekeepers run out, around here anyway.They know what ever the bees put in my honey is still in it (raw uncooked, strained once honey) pollen and all, some come and watch me process it. Once they taste real honey they won't go back.
In the following thread is a photo of my bees collecting ragweed pollen. I think most people dont witness this because it is often cut down. I leave a large patch of ragweed for my bees and they will work it. People claim that my honey helps with allergies, I make NO claims that it will. But I can say that my honey has ragweed pollen in it.
Bees will collect corn dust from the chicken feed), sawdust, and even fungus spores in place of pollen.
I heard several people claim that they have never seen honeybees on queenannes lace...until this past year.
Great shot of a honeybee on ragweed in that thread....but as to how common it is (especially as there is often/usually goldenrod and aster or sometimes knotweed are available at the same time), I don't think very common for them to collect it in large quantities....but it would take a pollen trap and monitoring to know.
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
For those of you who's customers swear by your local honey from their allergies, how are the pollens that are in the air "now" present in the honey you sold someone 3 weeks ago?
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
That's the good thing about Raw honey, i don't have to brag it up or make false claims. It sells it self.
Good point. I suspect some of us are too close to honey to be very objective about it. As a consumer, I buy maple syrup. If the label says it's real maple syrup, I assume it is. If I buy it and that brand tastes good to me, I'm likely to buy it again if it's available again. I don't analyze it for possible presence of other sugar syrups or tree saps, and I don't really know if it is really from maple trees.Well, for that matter, one can build on the same line of questioning...how do you as a customer, tell that the honey you buy is even honey? Or fake honey? By who's definition? -apis maximus
I've just assumed most consumers who buy honey do about the same.
Kieck,That is what the problem to me is,when you buy a jar of honey at a retail store that says Pure Clover Honey, it should be pure clover honey.Just because the honey has a light color the producer of that honey should be made to back up that claim. I want what i pay for.


text: Math is nothing to be afraid of, especially when it comes to the math you need to know for your ACE certification exam. There's something about the thought of doing math that seems to strike fear in anyone who has not performed long division since grade school, but if you learned how to do it once, you can learn to do it again. The amount of questions involving math on the exams is minimal and most people do just fine with the equations after a little practice and review of the two math-specific tools the ACE staff have put together—the Helpful Formulas Sheet and the Fitness Math course. For those of you who have already opened your text books, you might be thinking, "There is no way I can memorize all of the equations in this book, let alone figure out how to solve them." It's completely fine to have these thoughts, because you are not expected to remember all of the equations. In fact, there are only about eight different equations that you need to know, and the Helpful Formulas Sheet includes examples of each one. Keep in mind that your textbooks were not only designed to help you prepare for your exam, but also to be used as reference materials while working in the industry. Don't spend your time trying to memorize all of the formulas in the book. Just remember, if it's not on the tip sheet, you don't need to memorize it for the exam. Because there are no formula sheets allowed in the exam testing center, it is important to memorize and practice solving the equations prior to the exam. You will be provided with scratch paper at the exam site to aid you in solving the problems. Candidates will be provided a basic four function calculator to use on the exam. I recommend taking the time to study the review materials provided by ACE and to practice, practice, practice! If you need further assistance, please give me a call in the ACE Resource Center at 800-825-3636, Ext. 796.

Roger Springfield arraigned on Syracuse surveillance charges
Former Syracuse media director Roger Springfield, fired in December by the university, has been formally charged with unlawful surveillance after being accused of secretly videotaping Syracuse athletes -- including football players -- in their locker rooms. It gets ickier, if you'd like to read as far down as Springfield's attorney's thoughts on the matter:
The defense lawyer said he didn't want to disclose his defense strategy at this point.Syracuse officials initiated the investigation of Springfield in December after discovering one of the videos. The university has since released a statement that reads, in part, "Our priority has been, and will continue to be, the well-being of our student-athletes. We are in direct contact with all of these specific current and former student-athletes, and the University is reaching out to offer them full access to appropriate support and assistance during this time."
But he also said he did not believe the prosecution would be able to argue the players had an expectation of privacy in the locker room after games.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by umronnie, Jun 19, 2012.
^^ Any video of it clean in practice?
Do we have a quad estimate for Li Chengjiang? He skated in international competitions for over a decade and had a solid 4t.
Updates quad count after Euros (remember, only international competitions count):
1 Joubert – 98
2 Plushenko (as long as he hadn't announced his retirement he's still on the list) – 94
3 Menshov – 46
4 Fernandez – 37 (moved up from 5 with that amazing FS, subject to change after 4CC)
5 Reynolds – 36
6 Voronov – 34
7 Verner – 28
8 Chan – 27
9 Takahashi – 26
If only Sasha tried it at several competitions...
Whee for Joubert at 98!
While watching Euros and US Nats this weekend, I was wondering if anyone has ever tried two quads in the second half of the program. Max Aaron did both 3axels (in fact six jumping passes!) in the second half of his program, but both quads in the first part. I think Fernandez, Chan, and Joubert attempt/have attempted a quad in the second half (Goebel too, IIRC, and that was pre-bonus), but has anyone ever tried two quads in the second half? I wonder if we'll ever see it. It would take a tremendous amount of energy.
I haven't checked that, but I doubt anyone has. It would be incredibly risky to put both quads in the second half. It is risky enough to try one quad in the second half. Although I believe that when doing 3 quads the third one is usually in the second half – partly for bonus and partly because doing 3 quads back to back is probably even more exhausting.
But, since I have some more interesting data in my spreadsheet I can tell you how many 2- and 3-quad programs our protagonists attempted (I think for this purpose the attempt itself is more important than the result):
Menshov: 16 2-quad programs
Plushenko: 15 2-quad programs
Joubert: 11 2-quad long programs, 1 2-quad short, 1 3-quad long (13)
Reynolds: 7 2-quad programs, 2 2-quad short, 3 3-quad long (12)
Fernandez: 7 2-quad programs, 2 3-quad long (10)
Chan: 10 2-quad programs
Takahashi: 5 2-quad programs
Verner: 3 2-quad programs
BTW, I believe no. 10 on the quad list would be Gachinski with 17 quads. He had attempted 4 2-quad programs.Expect Hanyu (15) to catch him by the end of the season. Hanyu has done 2 2-quad programs.
Other active skaters to try 2 quads in a program: Brezina (3), Hanyu (2), Amodio (1), Dornbush (1)
There had been more multi-quad programs, of course (Lambiel 16, Goebel 7 and 6, Yagudin 10, also Honda, Sandhu, Zhang and Li, for whom I haven't collected any data).
Interesting! I thought Verner had attempted many more 2-quad programs, but I guess he usually pops rather than falls. Menshov at the top surprises me, I don't know why. Fernandez will surely shoot up the list for 3-quad attempt programs.
Joubert is next scheduled to compete at the Challenge Cup. We'll see what he can come up with there...
At the rate he's going, it's beginning to seem quite likely that Javi will get to 100 at some point.
I'm more interested in a success rate than number of quad. Can anyone list?
see posts #7 and #49 upthread
This is an amazing list, miles difference from the Olympics, thanks large part to Plushy's complaints and how COP can encourage better technical content when done right. (They neglected and messed up entirely with the ladies, but that is another thread.)
Among the next generation of skaters, Hanyu is the one to watch for sure, him and Javier train together will light up the quads fireworks. What is so exciting is that he hasn't even reached his full potential yet. I didn't realize Gachinski had so many, but then his programs are usually devoid of decent transitions which sure makes things easier. Actually I thought the list is a bit misleading, because they are spaced out over a career, so those who had longer careers like Menshov, Plushy would naturally have more quads programs. However, if you account divide that by the years of career they had, to focus on quad density over a season, then you might come up with a more accurate reflection of the true quads meisters.
An interesting point. I was looking at the number of quads attempeted at US Nationsl - a competition not necessarily known for a multitude of quads. More quads were attempted at Omaha last week than at Vancouver 3 years ago! I checked out quad attempts at WC and OLY since the beginning of CoP and if you like, I can post those later.
Actualy Plushy and Menshov are the same age - Menshov will be 30 next month. It's true that Plushy got an earlier start - but I guess that is due to rare talent. Same thing with Joubert and VDP - although Kevin is a year older they both broke out at the same time and skated for many years, but Joubert has landed 5 times more quads than VDP.
Obviously you can't expect 18 year old Hanyu to have landed as many quads as 22 year old Fernandez, not to mention the old horses, but is looking at count per year fair? Some skaters get more opportunities than others - some get 1 GP invitation, some get 2 and manage the GPF, as well. One could miss a competition for illness or injury. Some attend a ton of Senior Bs and some prefer to skip 4CC. You can't land any jump if you're not competing.
Anyway, here's the list of quads-per-year, going by whole senior careers (complete seasons off, like Plushy's semi-retirement or Takahashi's surgury, were not included in the count):
Joubert – 98 quads over 13 seasons, average 7.5/season
Plushenko – 94 / 13 / 7.2
Menshov – 46 / 7 / 6.6
Reynolds – 36 / 6 / 6.0
Fernandez – 37 / 7 / 5.3
Chan – 27 / 6 / 4.5
Voronov – 34 / 8 / 4.3
Gachinski – 17 / 4 / 4.3
Verner – 28 / 8 / 3.5
Takahashi – 26 / 9/ 2.9
BTW, Yagudin goes 56 / 6 / 9.3...
BTW2, Fernandez's (say that 3 times fast) career average is 5.3, but if we look at this season alone we will get 15 and there's still WC...
A few things:
1. KvdP is two years older than Joubert and also had a head start on his senior career (competed at 2000 Euros & Worlds, when Joubert was still in juniors).
2. Joubert's in his 12th, not 13th, senior season.
3. Fernandez is in his 7th season but wasn't skating senior full time the first year or two, and only started doing quads in 2009-10, so the numbers are even more impressive. Chan didn't attempt any quads in his first few seasons, either.
But it's certainly true that longevity is not enough for a skater to get up to a large number of quads.
Re 2 - You are right. Moving to 2013 mixed my numbers. It's 12 for both Joubert and Plush (hangs head in shame). So it's -
Joubert 98 / 12 / 8.2
Plushy 94 / 12 / 7.8
Re 3 - That is correct for most skaters, even old Menshov. Actualy, for the bunch above, only Joubert, Plushenko and Reynolds started their senior career with a quad. Do you want me to count since their first quad attempt?
Updates quad count after 4CC:
1 Joubert – 98
2 Plushenko – 94
3 Menshov – 46
4 Reynolds – 39 (pulled back up from 5th)
5 Fernandez – 37
6 Voronov – 34
7 Verner – 28
8 Chan, Takahashi – 27
10 Hanyu, Gachinski – 17
Up next - Challenge Cup 22-23 Feb. Will Joubert break 100?
With 2 quads at the Challenge Cup (one 4T in the short, one in the free) Brian Joubert became the first man ever to land 100 quads. Congratulations, Brian!
Next up – the world championship in March. Plushenko (#2, 94 quads), Menshov (#3, 46) and Voronov (#5, 34) won't be there. Will Reynolds (#4, 39) rotate all his quads? If he doesn't, will Fernandez (#5, 37) catch him? Takahashi and Chan are currently tied for #8 with 27 – who will break free? Will they pass Tomas Verner (#7, 28)? More after the break...
Joubert! It may not be the most important achievement, but it's still pretty neat and a testament to longevity, hard work, and willingness to push himself and take risks.
Now if only someone would report on this somewhere more official, I'll finally be able to source that Wikipedia claim
That is so awesome! Great job, Brian! The gap between top 2 and the rest is so eye-opening.
Congrats to Joubert on reaching 100! Quads, that is, not his age
Joubert 98 / 12 / 8.2
Plushy 94 / 12 / 7.8
But you don't forget, Plushy had only 7 competitions( COR 2009, RusNat 2010, 2012, 2013, ECH 2010, 2012 and OG 2010) since 2006. That aren't complet seasons
BTW great job Umronnie! THX! Congrats to Brian!
Maybe someone could interview him about it for Europe on Ice, Golden Skate, etc? I wonder if Brian even knows. Or maybe someone could give him a little trophy at Worlds (along with Robin's MIA PSOTY award!).
Allez Brian!
I doubt he knows. When he tied the Euros medal record two years ago, he was asked about it and had no idea - and that's a much bigger achievement.
As for the proposed award presentation... see here. Actually, I doubt I'll ever make it to any Worlds, and certainly not this season.
Well, I e-mailed the ISU and sent them my spreadsheet. I doubt they'd do anything with it, though.
Just to demonstrate how big an achievement that is - 100 quads is more than the entire sqaud of Canadaian men did since 2001/2 (Joubert's first senior season), and that includes all of Reynolds', Chan's and Sandhu's qauds, plus the two Elvis landed at SLC. It is also more than the entire Japanese team did (probably ever), as well as the entire American team... Only the Russian quad-masters could accumulate more - together (and that even without Plushy).
Hi umronnie
I was super amazed by your tremendous work. Then I got a little bit interested in counting quads for Brian. At the beginning I just wanted to know how he got 100 quads in these years. However, after all the counting done, I found that there might be 2 more quads than 100.
Here is my method.
1) I checked all the ISU international competitions (GP EC WC OG) including 2 senior B events. Even though I still missed some events or programs since lack of videos or reports, such as QR at Worlds 2002 and 2003, QR at Euro 2002, SP at GPF 2002-03, and two programs at SA 2001. I am wondering if you could provide me some information about those events.
2) I also used a pretty strict way to rule out the hard hand-down but not actual fall quads, such as 2nd 4T of FS at GPF 2006 (a couple of GOE-2), and some similar ones in his early career (4T in both FSs at GPF 2002-03 and FS at Euro 2002), as well as some obvious UR like the opening in FS of Trophee Lalique 2002.
3) I'd also like to mention that I did not count international competitions such as Japan Open 2007, Marshall's 2004 and Campbell 2004.
I am willing to send my spreadsheet and discuss further more with you.
This is a great achievement and I think Joubert should receive a some kind of official announcement for it from the ISU.
{Raises hand in agreement} That would make two of us.
It would be nice if it was mentioned somewhere and for umronnie to get some credit for taking on this project and tracking all those competitions and jumps!
I would love to see Joubert recognised for this. Well done!
Someone ought to tell Plushy, too...I'm sure he'd be first in line to congratulate him.
I think you could send the spreadsheet to Icenetwork (Mickey Brown, editor or Lynn Rutherford, writer) and/or IFS (Susan Russell) - I'd send it to both. I would think someone would do something with it, a little squib at least - it's a milestone after all.
Looks like someone has been reading this thread... but why didn't they credit the source?

Reviews of this property
We had a great weekend staying in Franciscos's and Ana's apartment. Especially the location was perfect. Everything we wanted to see was less than a 15 minute walk. Also, the apartment is located in a street next to the main street. So close to everything you want to see, but at a quiet place itself. You can get breakfast literally the next door, and if you want to have one of the best churros of malaga it's right around the corner.
The check in was easy and everything was explained nice. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed.
Our plane left in the afternoon while we had to check out at 11 am. Leaving the luggage was not a problem though. We could leave it at an other apartment so we could enjoy the last hours in Malaga without carrying all of our luggage with us.
We have enjoyed our stay at Francisco and Ana's maisonnette appartment very much! The trains from the airport (every 20 mins.) take you to Malaga in 10 minutes, for only E1,70. From there a 5 minute walk will take you to the Calle Sebastian Souviron, which is a very quiet side street from the friendly Plaza de Felix Saenz. We slept very calmly all 5 nights, with only the occasional neighbour moving through the hallway outside. Countless shops, restaurants and museums are cluttered together in the area, making time fly trying to choose between them.
The maisonnette itsself is clean, modern and lacks nothing except maybe a bit of daylight (the only windows face a sheltered patio cut off by the surrounding buildings). The upstairs bedroom area is so large you could easily add a baby cot to it without losing any walking space, 4 large cabinets with drawers offer plenty of space to put away everybody's clothes. The downstairs bed (narrow double) was perfect for my mother, who preferred not to climb stairs and found the adjoined bathroom very practical in case of a midnight toilet visit.
Ana met us at the beginning and end of our visit and we had a very nice time talking to her. All e-mails to Francisco prior to our visit we replied to quickly and clearly, making sure we had no questions or uncertainties in travelling to Malaga.
We had a wonderful time, and will defintaley contact Francisco again when planning a visit to the Costa del Sol!
The accomodation is comfortable and the location in the centre of Malaga, next to a churreria in the pedestrian area, can't be better. The hosts are friendly and efficient. The accomodation is clean and well furnished and equiped. We had a good time there.
However, it is allowed to smoke in the apartment, which is noticeable. Because the appartment is situated on the ground level in the interior of the building, there hardly is any day light nor fresh air. The advantage is that it is relatively quiet (definitely in comparison to other Spanish city appartments).
It is indicated to allow for 6 persons, with 2 rooms. In fact, it is one big room, including a mezanine. It alllows for max 4 persons on two beds, one real bed and one foldout bed.
We spent wonderful days in Malaga. The apartment is exceptionally located and soberly decorated tastefully. Francisco and Ana has informed us very warmly welcomed well in advance. We felt welcome and would like to express our landlords kudos! Muchas gracias y hasta la próxima!
Wir haben wunderbare Tage in Málaga verbracht. Die Wohnung ist toll gelegen und geschmackvoll eingerichtetet. Francisco hat uns bestens im Vorfeld informiert und Ana sehr herzlich empfangen. Wir fühlten uns willkommen und möchten unseren Vermietern ein dickes Lob aussprechen! Muchas gracias y hasta la próxima!!!
Francisco is a super nice host, very friendly and attentive. The apartment is very nice and in the center of Malaga, and very little from the station on foot. Ideal for your modern decor for a couple, is a very spacious and comfortable apartment. Cerquisima the old town and the beach. Great for a car-free break!
Francisco es un anfitrión simpatiquísimo, muy amable y atento. El apartamento es muy bonito y en pleno centro de malaga, y a muy poquito de la estacion a pie.
Ideal por su moderna decoración para una pareja, es un apartamento muy amplio y comodo. Cerquisima del casco histórico y de la playa.
Genial para una escapada sin coche!
The apartment met all our expectations. The central location of the apartment, we were able to explore the beautiful city just fine without vehicle. Also worked great the transfer on arrival and on departure. Of Francisco (Paco) was a super nice guy. We would like to book the apartment again.
Die Wohnung entsprach voll unseren Erwartungen. Durch die zentrale Lage der Wohnung, konnten wir die wunderschöne Stadt auch ohne Fahrzeug gut erkunden. Auch klappte die Übergabe bei Ankunft und bei der Abreise super. Der Francisco (Paco) war ein super netter Mensch. Gerne würden wir nochmals die Wohnung buchen.
We spent 3 nights in this lovely apartment in Malaga. We were very well received by Francisco responded quickly to any problems we encountered. The apartment is very well located, while the city center is within walking distance from the apartment. I recommend this place!
Nous avons passé 3 nuits à Malaga dans ce joli appartement. Nous étions très bien accueillis par Francisco qui réagissait vite au moindre problème que nous rencontrions.
L'appartement est très bien situé, tout le centre-ville est accessible à pied depuis l'appart. Je recommande cette adresse !
Neat, cozy and clean apartment above. Did entirely up to the expectations. Because of its location near the city center, we can optimally enjoy.
Keurig, gezellig en vooral schoon appartement. Voldeed geheel aan de verwachtingen. Door de ligging vlak bij het centrum hebben we optimaal kunnen genieten.
The location is perfect in the center of Malaga, within walking distance of Harbour, park, beach and the large covered market. The apparatus as in the picture fresh and modern. Shame there is no wifi (was not promised). Further fine time!

Small Loans Spark Big Change in Brazil's Northeast
* Microcredit program booms in Brazil's poor northeast
* Poor families have long been cut off from cheap credit
* Program is profitable, with low default rates
RECIFE, Brazil, June 24 (Reuters) - The peeling yellow cart seems like just another nondescript piece of junk in the tumble of shacks, but it is one that fills Maria Jacinta da Silva with pride and gratitude every day. Bought with a 300 reais ($170) loan, which left change to buy a few bottles of beer and liquor to sell to other slum residents, the box on wheels provided income that stabilized the chaotic life of the 53-year-old mother who lives on the outskirts of the northeastern Brazilian city of Recife.
A year later, the beloved cart has been "retired" to make way for a permanent roadside stall where Da Silva sells barbecued meat and liquor and which was funded by more "microcredit" loans from the state-owned Banco do Nordeste, or Bank of the Northeast. "My home was a mess; my children were a mess," she said, recalling her life before that first loan. "Now I'm a happy person. I can sleep at night knowing what I'm going to do the next day." Her cart is part of financial revolution that has given hundreds of thousands of poor families access to credit for the first time and played a role in turning the long impoverished and handout-dependent northeast into Brazil's fastest-growing region.
The program started 12 years ago with a simple idea but one that was radical in Brazil, whose huge informal economy has long been cut off from access to credit. The bank assesses prospective clients' funding needs and provides a loan of anywhere between 100 reais ($57) and 15,000 reais ($8,475) at low interest rates. In a country infamous for its stifling bureaucracy, all clients need is a national ID card, a tax number, an address, a proven economic activity and to be part of a small group of fellow borrowers.
The business is often a hole-in-the-wall store, a small beauty salon, or simply a cart for selling beer to neighbors. Despite the humble status of the clients, the program has a default rate of just 1 percent. Having gained a foothold among poor communities, the bank's "Crediamigo" (Credit-friend) program is now expanding at a pace of about 40 percent a year in the northeast. From its current client base of 560,000, the bank expects to top 1 million clients with a total portfolio of 1 billion reais ($565 million) by the end of next year.
In a reversal of the usual flow of funds in Brazil, the bank is expanding its program to the wealthier south -- it recently started operations in Rocinha, a huge slum in Rio de Janeiro. "It is growing so strongly because we've been able to reach the most needy part of the population, which historically had no access to credit," said Manuel Gusmao, the bank's head of microfinances for Pernambuco state, of which coastal Recife is the capital. "It is a program that is totally self-sustaining, without using government resources."
Such growth rates are attracting private lenders such as Spanish bank Santander (SAN.MC), whose Brazilian unit (SANB11.SA)(BSBR.N) saw a 28 percent rise in its microcredit lending in 2009 to 220 million reais ($124.3 million).
The northeast has been the biggest beneficiary of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's Bolsa Familia program of benefits tied to school attendance, which is credited with lifting millions out of poverty but which critics say has also fostered dependency. The microcredit program reaches the same economic classes -- some 51 percent of its clients also receive Bolsa Familia -- but puts the emphasis entirely on self-sufficiency. Lula, who himself was born into poverty in the region, this month singled out for praise the Banco do Nordeste's microcredit programs, which include Crediamigo and a separate program that has lent 1.2 billion reais ($678 million) to nearly 900,000 farmers and rural families. "Sometimes you lend 1 billion reais to a businessman and he only generates 200 or 300 jobs. This shows that lending more money to smaller business is great for the country," he said.
A study of the Crediamigo program by the Getulio Vargas Foundation in Rio de Janeiro found that 55 percent of members in the lowest economic class succeeded in rising to the next income level. On a busy street on Recife's south side, where horses and carts still vie for space with cars, 49-year-old Maria Nancy de Santana has built up the Beautiful View convenience store over the past 12 years with the help of Crediamigo loans.
In May, the store was about to get a paint job and a new awning thanks to a new loan she can pay back over 36 months. "My old store was tiny and there was no way I could have grown without the loans," she said, adding that no-one in her group has defaulted. Two-thirds of Crediamigo clients are women, who are often the best stewards of family finances. Despite the lowly and often precarious status of the clients, the program is profitable partly thanks to its tiny default rate, something banker Gusmao attributes partly to social pressure and mutual help within groups to keep up payments. For stall-owner Da Silva, an almost religious faith in the bank's program suggests she is unlikely to join that small percentage of defaulters. "My life changed and will keep on changing. The bank wasn't just anyone's friend, it was mine, it was my light," she said. ($1=1.77 reais) (Editing by Todd Benson and Kieran Murray)

Where I stayed
colmar beach resort
On sep 20 I again called the forest officials there to know current situation and got a response that its difficult to do trek now as lot of streams on way had overflown due to heavy rains in the previous week.this was just 4 days before our scheduled date.I thought instead of cancelling the trip, we will make changes in our plan and thats how Goa came into picture.
New plan was to goto madgaon first spend one day there and start trekking to dudhsagar to next day . Ujwal was happy that dandeli plan was cancelled as he had heard lot about food we got there last time.barath and fiona were excited on hearing the name GOA.Next part was to get train tickets to madgoan which had huge waiting lists.Fortunately I was able to book tatkal tickets to madgaon on chennai vasco express on 24 sep from yeshwantpur.Now another big problem was facing us,the ayodhya verdict was supposed to come out on sep 24!!!.this had all the potential to cancel the trip.we were just keeping fingers crossed.
Barath was very tensed about this and was constantly asking us to cancel the trip and postpone it to next week.Fortunately we did not cancel the train tickets and instead waited for friday .we got superb news on thursday evening that supreme court had ordered stay on verdict for 1 week!!!!. excitement was back .
Heavy rains lashed Bangalore on 24 September.fortunately we had train tickets and hence had a smooth way out of city. train left Yeshwantpur at around 10 30 P.M.Barath got slight headache and In arsikere station I got coffee for him and finally slept in 2 in Morning.All of us except fiona were woken up by 4 in morning.A guy in our next compartment was shouting (according to him ,he was talking) on top of his voice to his co passengers. we felt someone was firing missiles at our ears .we had tough time sleeping after that as he continued "talking" all the way till morning. the guy was sitting in the berth exactly by side of fiona's berth and she was sleeping happily without even getting disturbed even once.I am very jealous of such people!!.I get disturbed even slightest noise and always have tough time sleeping in trains with such co passengers around.
Finally at hubli we got up from berths and started hunting for food as we would not get any decent food till madgaon . Finally we got some idly vada and flavoured milk and bread for fiona.
we saw the trek route we would be taking the next day i.e the rail route from castle rock to kulem and got mentally prepared for trek tomorrow.we reached madgaon by 12 and from there went to colmar beach resort in colva beach on advice of the auto driver .this was beach facing resort.they offered and very big double bedroom for Rs 700 for 4 people. the room had extra bed and was big enough for 4 people to sleep for night.The resort was clean and had a swimming pool.
We took a room with TV for an extra charge of Rs 100 as barath and ujwal wanted to watch football match.The TV had only 20 channels and picture quality was very bad and we could hardly make out anything on TV.we complained to reception quite few times and no one turned up.We had another nightmare having the lunch.all of us were hungry and the restaurant took nearly 1 hour to serve us and that they served us only one dish of the 3 we ordered!!!. totally spoiled our mood.
After small nap in room we went to swimming pool and then to beach.the colva beach had some program "vasudhiva kutumbakam" .Ravishankar of art of living was expected to come there.So there was quite a lot of police force present.we just strolled around the beach.
there were lot of star fishes coming to shore with water.some of them were dead and some alive.We Spent time till evening just strolling on beach .
we went to restaurant called GOODMAN and had one of most tastiest dinners.the dingri masala and garlic naan were just too good.the service was also very quick.After some shopping of jerseys we went back to sleep as long and tiring day was ahead of us .

that looks VERY nice on that front stub set up. nice start!
Since I chronicled my first suomi-ish build that started out as a sgn-9 build I figured I'd start a new thread since build #2 is definitely going to be a suomi when I'm finished. I started with a suomi kit froms copes and 1.5"x.188" wall thickness 4130 steel tubing from wicks aircraft supply. I turned the approx 10-3/4" receiver tube down to 1.465" between centers and threaded the last .450" (the original suomi's have .4" threading) of one end 20 tpi for the end cap. I noticed that the front 2-3/8" section measured 1.455" diameter so I turned it this receiver down to that measurement. On my next one I will leave the front section full size until I weld in the barrel bushing. That way I can just turn down the welds and hide them. Next I took a cylinder hone and lightly cleaned out the receiver tube. I then took a 5" section of 1-1/4"x.250 wall tubing and cut it into a barrel bushing. The section that fits in the receiver tube needs to be 1-2 thousands over the i.d. of the receiver tube for a press fit. I copied the lug area from several different suomi receiver sections as well as using measurements from my first build for overall length. The length from where the barrel collar rests (not including the indexing nub) in the front to the back where the bolt is stopped on my first build was around 4.24" to obtain the proper headspace. I left this barrel bushing at 4.270" (with the extra length in the section that goes inside the receiver tube) so I can turn it down later to get the correct headspace. Since this is a blowback type gun it isn't as critical as a locking action, but on my first build if I let the leading edge of the bolt contact the barrel it would buckle the cases of my dummy rounds because of the short headspace. I used a max trim length 9mm dummy round as a guide and added a few thousands for good measure. This left me with 4.245" for my barrel bushing length.
The inside of the barrel bushing is around 3/4" and a suomi barrel is around .78". To keep from getting a sbr violation on my first build I: lengthened the barrel to 16-1/4"; turned the barrel shank down to 3/4"; enlarged the indexing nub to 1/4" and welded on the barrel jacket since I didn't cut the lugs into it. Even without welding on the barrel jacket there was no way an unmodified suomi barrel was going to fit in the receiver. On this build I am using the same larger indexing nub, reduced barrel shank and welded on extension to avoid a sbr violaton.
Since this is a work in progress I'll add some more pictures over the next few days to bring the build up to where I'm at. Here's a pic of my first build That I still need to put a finish on and some pics of the receiver and barrel jacket of this build.

Hate takes LESS energy & thought... Dont be so Lazy.
Building or Bitching? which are you here to do?
YES, i work for TEC Tactical. 02/07 SOT
Here's a drawing of the barrel bushing with the barrel jacket lugs. The actual specs may be a little different as I have changed some such as the indexing nub to prevent the insertion of an unmodified barrel. I got these measurements from the the largest dimension off of several demilled suomi receivers, figuring anything smaller was a result of wear. I basically started with a 5" section of 1-1/4"x.250" wall 4130 seamless tubing which has a .750" inside diameter. Turned both ends and turned down to 1.240" between centers which was pretty much as light of a pass that would take metal off all the way around the bushing. On my first build I left the lug area the full 1.250" and it was just starting to fit snug. The bushing diameter on my suomi receivers at the lug area is 1.235" on average. Since I know a 1.25" lug will fit I decided on the 1.240" so it would have some room to turn when dirty. I then turned the bushing down to the basic profile leaving the front area longer to cut out the indexing nub and making sure the section that goes inside the receiver tube is 1-2 thousands over the inside diameter of the receiver tube. A quick note of on the 1.040" diameter section between the receiver section and the lugs. I had measurements of between .395"-.4" for this width. I went with the .4" as any looseness in the barrel jacket fit can be eliminated by pushing the barrel bushing deeper into the receiver. If you make this area the .395" then make sure to lengthen the receiver section of the bushing to maintain the 4.3" overall length.
The next step was to cut the barrel jacket lugs. If you look at a suomi barrel jacket lug it's .4" front to back. Top to bottem it is tapered smaller to the center. The bottem of the lug measures .4" but the top on the 4 receivers I checked measures anywhere from .440"-.460". The smaller measurements came from well worn receivers. The one I have that looked almost new had the .460" lug measurement. Since the bottem of the lug is .4" you have a wide range of what they could be and still work. I tried to get it as close to what the new receiver was at .460". I don't have a dividing head so I used the tape method to mark off the lugs. I took a piece of scotch tape and ran it around the lug collar, trimming it for width and cut through the overlaping ends (removing the extra scrap) to end up with a piece of tape that was exactly the size of the lug collar which I taped to a steel ruler with the end and a side matched to the ruler. There are 4 lugs each .460" so I multiplied that by 4 and subtracted that from the tape length. Then I divided what was left by 4 to get the spacing between the lugs. I then colored the tape black with a sharpie and alternated scratching lug or space lines with my dial calipers in the black sharpie on the tape. I then covered the first piece of tape with a second piece to keep the sharpie from smearing. I put the tape back on the barrel collar and used a piece of 1/2" angle iron as a guide to cut the tape with a utility knife through each scratch line. I removed the larger sections of tape leaving the smaller .4"x.460" lug tape. I then squared up the bushing on the milling machine with one "lug" on top. I ran a dial indicator across the top to make sure it ws totally flat after each time I moved the bushing. I cut the front of the lug collar until the 1/4" 4 flute end mill touched the tape. I then cut the back side of the lug until the lug was .460". Then I repositioned the bushing and repeated until I had the 4 lugs roughed out. I made one cut in the center of the "lug gap" to remove most of the extra material. I then locked a section of 3/4" rod in the vise with 5-6" sticking out and slid the bushing over the rod. Using an air cut off tool I rested one side of the cut off tool wheel cover on the 3/4" rod and ground between the lugs while I rotated the bushing lug to lug. When I though it looked good I colored the gap area in sharpie and tried to fit it in a barrel jacket. I reground any high spots until the bushing turned in smoothly.
To cut the index nub I marked off a 1/4" nub centered on one of the lugs. I clamped the barrel bushing in the milling machine and ran the dial indicator around the top and adjusted the bushing until it was level. I then milled away everything that wasn't the indexing lug until I got close to .305" from lug to bushing front (not indexing nub). I would cut .001", bring the table all the way to one side and test fit a modified barrel and barrel jacket. When the barrel jacket would finally lock up easily I was at .300" after that I rounded the indexing nub with a file. The section that goes in the receiver is still oversized at this point and will need to get trimmed down for proper headspace, somewhere areound 4.24"-4.245".
For some reason I keep getting an invalid file message for the bushing blueprint. I know its been over 25years since drafting class but I didn't think it was that bad. I'll try again in a bit.

The short suomi barrel needs to be lengthened and made so it will fit the modified barrel bushing, and the barrel shroud need to be modified for the longer length of the barrel. I first modified the barrel by chucking up the barrel stub and a live center on the muzzle end. The barrel has a slight taper to it so I turned the section just forward of the barrel collar a few thousands to remove the taper in that section. Then I turned the last inch of barrel down to .585 to match my barrel extension. I then turned the chamber end down to the same size as the inside diameter of the barrel bushing (.750). I fitted a section of 3/4"x.156" tube that I had previously drilled slightly over 1' deep with a 37/64" bit which made a .584" I.D. to the muzzle end for a press fit of .001". I then welded around the joint and cleaned the weld up with the lathe. I cut the extension end so that the barrel was now 16-1/4" long. I then enlarged the indexing slot in the barrel collar to 1/4" for the larger indexing nub.
The barrel shrouds I have are the comp type. There is a little nub that looks like a muzzle in the front of the comp. I cut this nub off in the lathe and drilled/bored out the comp a couple thousands over the barrel size at the same spot. The barrel jacket now allows the longer barrel to slide through and lock into the barrel bushing. A quick note, I removed the front sight and used a center rest with the contact points running on the section that would be under the front sight so it would not leave a mark.
Here's a pic of the muzzle being turned down for the barrel extension and a unmodified barrel shroud (upper left) and a barrel shroud modified for the 16" barrel on the lower left.

Look at the mad skills on Moleman! Looking good.

Thanks Gunco! I've actually got quite a bit more done on the build and took pictures along the way which I'll add on in the next few days. Hopefully it will make the suomi a little easier for people to build from scratch. They're a lot of fun to shoot and surprisingly accurate.
Moleman, awesome work... but I am still not getting how you cut the lugs... I feel like I am being terminally stupid... can you describe that process one more time... just not understanding how you cut the lugs and kept the lugs square and the rest was nice and round...
Mark, I didn't take any pictures while I was cutting the lugs (I didn't think it would turn out good the first time). When I order more steel I'll cut a few more barrel bushings and take a picture at each step to better illustrate how its done. The first picture shows the bushing mocked up in the milling machine. You basically cut one side of the lug then the other and repeat until all the lugs are cut out (I'll go into greater detail when I cut the next one). This will leave you with a large ridge between each lug. I cut this mostly off which left me with two smaller ridges. To remove the ridges I slid the bushing on a 3/4" rod that was mounted in a vise. I then took an air cutoff tool and while keeping the tool stationary and resting one side of the air tool wheel housing on the 3/4" rod to keep it steady, turned the bushing on the rod and ground the high peaks off between each lug. The round area in front and behind each lug is the same size. I tried to remove as little material as possible and still make it rounded. The suomi receiver sections I have appear to have been milled in a similar fashion and have a slightly reduced diameter between the lug area. When you think you've got it, color the ground areas with a sharpie marker and try to slide the bushing in a barrel jacket. any high spots will have the marker rubbed off. Just hit the high spots with the grinder again and recolor/test fit and repeat until it slides in correctly. Hope this helps, like I said I'll take more pics of the next bushing and add to this thread. Heres some mock up pics of the lugs getting cut.
Thanks man.... I can do that... I see how to do it! Like I said, great work!


text: Well, we took on the adventure of lip balm. Actually been experimenting for a while now and seem to have a receipe that works for us. Does anyone else use the shrink wrap sleeves over the tubes? We are looking for suggestions to shrink it down. Yesterday we used the ol hair dryer trick, but it is a long process, not very user friendly, and I can see replacing the hairdryer every couple of months doing it that way. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

William Karl Hazelton, 64, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2013, of an apparent cardiac arrest.
Predeceased by his parents, James and Alice (Kindt); he is survived by his life partner of nearly 36 years, Gary Gethen; his brother John and wife Barrie; sister Jane Gauss; nephews Joseph and Brad; and niece Lisa.
Bill grew up in Mount Kisco, N.Y., and spent his summers in Northern Wisconsin on Razorback Lake. He attended Ripon College, Wis. Upon graduation with a BA in history, he was commissioned a second lieutenant from the ROTC program. Bill retired from the Army with an honorable discharge and the rank of major.
Bill and Gary met in 1977 and this began the next chapter in his life -- purchasing a farm in Blue River, Wis., and creating Birch Hill Farm, a perennial-flower nursery for 14-plus years.
He was involved with local politics with the Board of Richwood Township and the local Fire Board. Bill was appointed to the Lower Wisconsin Riverway Board by the governor of the state of Wisconsin when it was created.
Bill moved onto Key West, Fla., in 1994 and received his calling with God and became very involved in the MCC-Key West Church. Bill was involved in many activities with the goal of assisting those with less and in need.
Bill and Gary recently moved to Spring Hill, Fla., to be closer to the Gethen family to be there when needed. Bill will be greatly missed.
A life that has made a difference in so many other lives will be well remembered.
A soul that has lifted up other souls and encouraged the climb will be well honored.
A person who turned the spirit of God's love into living action will be well revered.
This was Bill.
A memorial service will be held on Nov. 23, 2013, in Key West. Details will be announced at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of your choice.

THE AGE OF WONDER: How the Romantic Generation Discovered the Beauty and Terror of Science. Richard Holmes. xxii + 552 pp. Pantheon Books, 2008; first U.S. edition 2009. $40 cloth, $17.95 paper.
The Age of Wonder, which in 2009 won the prestigious Royal Society Prize for Science Books, deals with British natural philosophers—those who studied the workings of nature—from the time of James Cook's first expedition around the world, begun in 1768, to young Charles Darwin's voyage on the Beagle, begun in 1831. Author Richard Holmes, an expert on the British romantic poets, draws on such themes as the heroic quest, the solitary genius, the eureka moment and Nature infinite and mysterious to characterize the natural philosophers of the age. But above all Holmes wishes to highlight the sense of wonder that they all shared. This is what marks them as romantic in his view.
That, of course, raises a bit of a problem. After all, in which age of science would wonder not be front and center? Has the image of science as a disinterested practical enterprise ever accurately captured what scientists do?
When it comes to choosing a career in science, and to the motivation that drives individuals to explore, wonder has always been present. True, it can erode—a modern astrophysicist or paleontologist may have been drawn to study the skies or dinosaurs by the larger sense of mystery each conveys, but advanced work in these areas also has a dreary, computational side, which demands the majority of a researcher's daily attention. Nonetheless, scientists are almost by definition wonderers.
Still, there was something different about the age Holmes has chosen to write about. On the continent, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and the followers of Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling consciously differentiated between their kind of science and that which had gone before. Scholars who have characterized this group's scientific work as romantic science have focused on its members' opposition to mechanism—sometimes expressed in opposition to Isaac Newton—because of its objectification of nature. For the romantic Naturphilosophen, nature was at bottom organism, not mechanism. They believed that science in theory and practice must reflect the characteristics of living things, including those that are self-conscious and rational. Although organism presumed mechanical interaction, it could not be defined by it; rather, scientific cognition had to involve the beautiful and the moral in addition to the rational. Schelling wanted, as he put it, "to give wings to physics." Robert J. Richards has argued eloquently that such romantic assumptions influenced the science of many who came after, including such notables as Darwin and Ernst Haeckel.
Holmes does not explicitly go so far as to insist that the cognition of science entailed aesthetic and ethical dimensions for the individuals on whom he has chosen to focus—Humphry Davy, Joseph Banks, Mungo Park, and William and Caroline Herschel. Davy, a chemist and a poet, might muse that the perception of truth was as simple a feeling as the perception of beauty, but in the end he did not merge the two, as Samuel Taylor Coleridge (who was schooled on Schelling) hoped could be done. Davy did not convince the poet Robert Southey that he brought an artistic temperament into his science—Southey lamented that Davy's experimental science in the end "always deadens the feelings." But of all the figures in Holmes's book, Davy, who conceived of himself as a genius, comes closest to being a truly romantic scientist.
Holmes has written a wonderfully engaging narrative—he himself characterizes it as a piece of biographical storytelling that seeks to depict the impact of science on the heart as well as the mind. There is never a dull moment, from Joseph Banks's exploits (sexual and otherwise) among the natives of Tahiti to the exciting (and sometimes disastrous) details of balloon flights in France and England. A chapter is given to Mungo Park's travels to Africa, which Banks sanctioned as President of the Royal Society and more pointedly as a founding member of the Association for Promoting the Discovery of the Inland Districts of Africa. Park's first trip, in the mid 1790s, failed to achieve its objective of locating the semi-legendary city of Timbuctoo, and Park nearly perished when set upon by Moorish bandits, who robbed him of everything he had. Left 500 miles from the nearest European settlement with only trousers, boots and his hat, Park was about to give up and die when he caught sight of a tiny flowering moss. His wonder at its beauty in the midst of his despair saved him—he resolved that the God who had made such a thing would not allow him, a creature made in God's image, to perish. (He did, however, perish during his second journey to Africa in 1805.)
The lives of William and Caroline Herschel, as Holmes describes them, were not quite so exotic or daring. Nevertheless, his accounts of William's escape to Britain and his and Caroline's subsequent rise to prominence (through their joint effort in building telescopes and discovering new bodies in the heavens) are captivating. Astronomy, of course, opens up our imagination to the widest context in which we live our lives, and William's notion of a developing universe in deep space and the possibility that some of the many new nebulae he was discovering might lie outside the Milky Way only deepened the sense of awe at humankind's place in the grand scheme of things. Holmes gives two chapters to the Herschels, with a great deal of attention to Caroline, although he cites only William's wonder at the "most beautiful order" of the natural world. Not surprisingly, William came to depict his signature discovery of the planet Uranus as the work of a solitary genius pursuing the mysterious moment of revelation.
Holmes gives most attention to Humphry Davy. Davy's early friendships with Southey and Coleridge brought him into the circle of rising young romantic writers. Davy was preoccupied with his conception of himself and his need to achieve fame. The story of his early work on the effects of inhaling nitrous oxide shows Davy the empiricist, dispassionately and faithfully recording the data of his experience even when he felt himself in danger from the experiment he was carrying out on himself. His move to London and his great success as a public lecturer reinforced his notion of self-importance—he saw himself as the Newton of chemistry. His exploits in the new science of electrochemistry, which allowed him to identify the elements sodium and potassium, confirmed to those of his age that here indeed was a young genius.
Holmes covers the well-known events of Davy's life with accuracy and verve. His rise to social prominence and his marriage to the wealthy Jane Apreece, his always testy and sometimes hostile relations with his young assistant, Michael Faraday, and his work on the safety lamp for miners, including the disputes it provoked, are retold here in detail and in entertaining fashion. Holmes depicts Davy as he approached his premature death (at age 51) as the pilgrim scientist on his last journey. In his final work—Consolations in Travel, or the Last Days of a Philosopher—Davy turned his mind to the eternal, portraying science (in particular chemistry) as a means of eavesdropping on nature at work. Here Davy gave vent to the mystical longings of a dying man. Georges Cuvier said of the Consolations in Travel that it contained "the last words of a dying Plato."
Holmes ends his own book with a look at the next generation, the young Turks who wanted to challenge the established social structure of the scientific enterprise. The Age of Wonder might have lived on in the outlook of the young John Herschel, had the founding of the British Association in 1831 not changed the organization of science fundamentally. Science became increasingly professionalized, and its practitioners were dubbed scientists. William Whewell, who coined the new designation, lamented that the olden days, when the "learned" took on all branches of knowledge, were forever past. Science might still generate wonder, but now that it was filling a much larger social role it would also feel increased pressure to live up to greater expectations of propriety and usefulness.
Because The Age of Wonder is aimed at the general reader and is written in so engaging and informed a manner, it is a most welcome volume. I do not have many complaints. Some misconceptions are perpetuated—Alessandro Volta did not "disprove" Luigi Galvani's animal electricity; indeed, experiments by Alexander von Humboldt and others showed that the source of electrical current could not be confined to contact between two metals alone—electricity is also stored in muscles. And not even Volta saw the battery as the deciding factor in his controversy with Galvani, as Holmes asserts. But such blemishes are few.
I believe Holmes would have enriched his message had he consulted the considerable work that historians of science have carried out both on scientific biography and on German romantic science (not that he should have included Germans in his study). The writings of scientific biographers such as Russell McCormmach, Laura Otis, Thomas Söderqvist and others might have given him insights into the methodological issues with which historians wrestle. Other writers (Richards, for example) have, like Holmes, explored the merits of seeking out the inner biography of those who celebrate the role of emotion in constructing our knowledge of nature as opposed to ignoring or even suppressing it; their work might have suggested to Holmes additional ways of emphasizing the message of hope that he sees in the lives and works of his wonderers.

The question of who is responsible for cleaning up Los Angeles County's storm water goes before the U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday.
The nine justices must decide whether the Los Angeles County Flood Control District is liable for billions of gallons of urban runoff that pollute inland rivers, streams, lakes and the ocean, or if a collective of 85 cities and 140 unincorporated areas are at fault.
If after hearing oral arguments, the high court rules against the District, it would cost "tens of billions of dollars" to build diversion pipes and treatment projects, according to the county Flood Control District, a special district governed by the county Board of Supervisors.
The county is hoping that the court will overturn a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling, which held the District liable.
The case began in 2008 when the Natural Resources Defense Council and the the Santa Monica Baykeeper (now known as the Los Angeles Waterkeeper) filed suit alleging the county was responsible for the urban runoff that picks up bacteria from dog feces, metals from brake pads and pesticides from lawns as it flows through the Los Angeles and San Gabriel rivers to the ocean.
"The county Flood Control District likes to point the finger, to lay blame elsewhere," said Steve Fleischli, water program director and senior attorney for the NRDC in Washington on Monday. "They would say even if their storm water discharges were on fire, they would not be liable. We think that is untenable."
Studies say urban runoff sickens 640,000 to 1.4 million people who visit L.A. and Orange County beaches each year, Fleischli said. Mostly, swimmers come down with diarrhea, sore throats, pink eye or fever, he said.
While few argue that storm water pollution is a serious problem, few can agree on who should clean it up.
The county says it is not solely responsible because it doesn't produce the pollution but only carries it away. Like Internet Service Providers, it should not be held liable for objectionable content.
The district, which was founded in 1915, moves storm water through Southern California's two major urban rivers as well as thousands of miles of concrete washes and channels, keeping homes and property safe from flooding.
"We believe that the argument put forth by the NRDC is flawed in that it confuses the conveyance of polluted water with the creation of polluted water," said Gail Farber, chief engineer of the District and director of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works.
"We recognize the complexity and significance of the questions before the justices, and are confident that, when the facts of this case are presented, the court will support our position," she added.
The complex case rests on a narrow definition of what is a pollution discharge.
Since the case involves high levels of mercury, fecal bacteria and metals detected at the end of the L.A. River near Long Beach and in the Whittier Narrows area of the San Gabriel River, some say the materials are not "discharges" but snapshots of pollution from various upstream sources.
Storm drains from some 32 different cities empty into the Los Angeles River, while 28 cities use the San Gabriel River for discharge, Fleischli said.
"You have multiple inputs," said Ray Tahir, a principle with Tecs Environmental, a Pasadena-based environmental consulting firm. "And I'm not just talking about cites. There are industrial facilities ... that also discharge into receiving waters. Then you have nonpoint discharges (lawns, animal waste, motor oil and brake linings from roadways) coming from unknown sources. So how do you know who caused what?"
Tahir predicts the Supreme Court will rule in favor of the county because it likes to clear up confusion created by the Ninth Circuit. The cities he represents, including Duarte, Baldwin Park, Glendora, San Dimas, Claremont, Irwindale, Gardena, Lawndale, Carson, Compton and Pico Rivera, favor the county because they see the county Flood Control District as an ally. They also believe if the county District loses, it will turn around and sue the cities for the cleanup costs.
Both the League of California Cities and National Governors Association filed friend of the court briefs with the county.
"A win would validate our current approach," said Gary Hildebrand, assistant deputy director of the county Department of Public Works. "That it is a collective effort of all municipalities, not just an individual agency that is responsible."
A ruling is not expected until sometime in the spring.

Brilliant - I put on a few pounds on holiday in September, and having spent a couple of weeks away with work, haven't been able to shift them, and as yet, haven't been motivated to do anything about it - would like to be back to my normal weight before Christmas.
Mrs G
ps, work have just given me a pedometer (it's part of a sustainable living campaign) so will post here my weekly averages.

Re: Jamie Baird - The Fitness Coach
Hi Fitness Coach, I commute to work at least 4 days a week on my road bike. I haven't taken my bike computer with me yet but I am guessing the round trip is roughly 40kms. I have lost lots of weight, but now what do I do to tighten the rest up? Ideally something easy and done at home. Main areas, lower tummy/hips. Is it true that straight forward sit ups are good enough and you don't really need to do any target zone sit ups? Thank you for any advise

Re: Jamie Baird - The Fitness Coach
Hey bcrain
Good work with the weightloss. The cycling is great for the weight loss but to now tighten everything up some resistance training would help. As for your abs straight forward sit ups are fine but they aren't going to tighten your oblique muscles (the area around your love handles). To do this I would suggest some bicycle crunches, lie on the floor on your back and pedal your legs backwards and forwards as if you were cycling a bike. Then take your opposite elbow to opposite knee so you get some rotation through your trunk. Do 3 sets of 20.
Later I will be posting what I consider to be my 15 top exercises that you can do at home. Do these religiously and you will see results pretty quickly.
all the best

Hi Mrs Gibba,
Well hopefully you can shift those couple of extra pounds when I post my top 15 home exercises later.
I am looking foward to your pedomter postings!! They say 10,000 steps a day is a good average!!

Reviews for this host's other properties
Fantastic location! Huge apartment with a brilliant kitchen. Really enjoyed our stay, highly recommend for exploring the city.
When we arrived at the apartment, we text the host to tell her that we were here. After 20 minutes, someone else answered, and told us that we were booked somewhere else, not the address where we were waiting. I queried this and said no, and gave her our booking details. We had received another confirmation 3 days before regarding our booking. She told us that there was a problem with the flat we had booked and we had to go somewhere else, which was close by. We walked to this new destination, which was ok, but nowhere as characterful or interesting as the apartment we had originally booked which overlooked the Vaci Utca. It accommodated the family in 3 bedrooms. However, the rooms were dark and from the windows we could only see a small street, not the scenery we had opted for initially. The beds were very uncomfortable and the family of 6 complained back pain after sleeping and of the low budget beds and bedding. The host did not have courtesy to let us know of this change before we arrived at the apartment, so that we could look for an alternative; we were left waiting in the street for more than half an hour with our suitcases and felt we had no choice in the matter. We found out that the host gave her booking list to her friend on the morning of our arrival as she was preparing for her holiday, and it appeared disorganised and uninterested in customer satisfaction. Very disappointing, will not be using them again.
Excellent services! We were very pleased with the apartment (spacious, clean and central location). We will definitely come back.
The apartment is really centric! Just a 5 minute walk to the Opera House and a two minute walk to Saint Esteban's Basilica. No need to use public transport as it is in the centre of everthing and its easy to walk everywhere.
The apartment was very clean and had everything that was needed.Wif worked really well.
Attention received was excellent!. They were on time waiting for us on our arrival and asked if everything was alright with the flat as soon as we were installed and the day afterwards.
Highly recommendable!
Good apartment Sim is close to everything.
Bra lägenhet sim ligger nära till allt.
Apartment in the center of town - a quiet environment, clean, facilities ok. The host was waiting at the appointed time, parking provided. Complete satisfaction, I can recommend :-)
Apartmán v centru města - klidné prostředí, čisto, zařízení ok. Hostitel čekal v domluvený čas, parkování zajištěno. Naprostá spokojenost, mohu doporučit :-)
Warm welcome by Marty. Apartment is centrally located, some minor scratches, but the stay perfect for 6 girls for the weekend. All very simple! always my pleasure!
Netter Empfang durch Marty. Wohnung liegt zentral, leichte Gebrauchspuren, aber perfekt für 6 Mädels die übers Wochenende bleiben. Alles sehr unkompliziert! Immer wieder gerne!
Apartment very central, clean and in very good condition. Very nice and friendly owner. He helped us plan our short stay in Budapest. Highly recommended.
Apartamento muy céntrico, limpio y en muy buenas condiciones. La propietaria muy simpática y agradable. Nos ayudó a planificar nuestra corta estancia en Budapest. Muy recomendable.
Comfortable apartment suitable for up to 6 people, in a great location on a pedestrian street, near the metro station Kelvin ter, a few steps from the Danube and from the main street Vaci utca. Excellent value for money.
Comodo appartamento adatto fino a 6 persone, in posizione eccellente, in una via pedonale, vicino alla stazione della metropolitana di Kelvin ter, a due passi dal Danubio e dalla via centrale Vaci Utca. Ottimo rapporto qualità/ prezzo.
The house was as presented in the photos, in a central area and close to the metro, so very convenient! The little place in the home are not bothersome at night and dismantled anyway always before midnight. The only drawback: when we arrived the house was not very clean or was evidently been placed in a hasty manner, perhaps the previous guests had left recently, in each case with a cloth we removed the stains that were left on the furniture, the sofa bed is also very uncomfortable. Overall still I experience I can recommend this house because money is unmatched having less than 2 bathrooms !!
La casa era come presentata nelle foto, in una zona centrale e vicina alla metro, quindi molto comoda! I localino sotto casa non sono fastidiosi la sera e comunque smontano sempre entro mezzanotte. Unico neo: quando siamo arrivati la casa non era molto pulita o meglio era evidentemente stata sistemata in modo frettoloso, forse gli ospiti precedenti erano andati via da poco, in ogni caso con un panno abbiamo eliminato le macchie che erano rimaste sui mobili, il divano letto inoltre è molto scomodo. Nel complesso comunque esperienza posso consigliare questa casa perchè qualità prezzo non ha paragoni avendo ben 2 bagni!!

Some days ago, the weather went fine and so I was called to remove two swarms. But it was on my way to the gym and I didn't get time to go to the apiary to take some empty boxes. So the swarms were put in two empty buckets and I placed the buckets on the seat of my car.
Arriving at the gym, some of the boys seemed to get a little be astonished. They saw some 20.000 bees sitting in the car and flying around.
Later, some of them wanted to make a test of courage and took place in the car for some moments.
