Saudis vow to meet oil demand

Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi said in Abu Dhabi yesterday that his country was ready to meet rising demand for crude oil to ease the surge in world prices.
"My message to the world (is) there's no shortage, there'll be no shortage, and we are willing to meet demand as it rises," he told reporters on the sidelines of an oil conference in the capital city of the United Arab Emirates.
Mr Naimi said Saudi Arabia was producing 9.5 million barrels a day. It planned to maintain spare capacity of 1.5 to 2 million barrels a day for the foreseeable future.
He said his country was ready to pump an additional 500,000 barrels a day, but there were no takers because of the quality.
"We have 500,000 barrels a day extra capacity . . . but there are no buyers.
"There's a difference between sour and sweet crude and what's on offer now is the light sour crude," Mr Naimi said.
"There's no adequate conversion refineries in the world.
"Consuming nations need to build sufficient sophisticated refineries to be able to handle sour crude."
Saudi Arabia promised late last month to increase its oil production capacity to 11 million barrels a day within weeks, in a bid to curb record prices.

Mack has been tagged as one of the most versatile defensive players in the draft and a good fit for Romeo Crennel's 3-4 defense at outside linebacker.
In four seasons with the Bulls, Mack had 327 total tackles with 28.5 sacks with 75 TFLs and he also had 16 forced fumbles with 3 interception and 2 were returned for a touchdown. His senior season garnered 2013 MAC Defensive Player of the Year where he had 100 total tackles with 10.5 sacks and 19 TFLs.
Mack is 6-3 and 251 lbs. and after a solid NFL combine it appeared he all but solidified his place to be chosen in the top 10 picks of the 2014 NFL Draft.
Mack is one of the few names that have leaked to the public as one of the 30 prospects the Texans have hosted prior to the NFL Draft. He joins Johnny Manziel, Blake Bortles, Teddy Bridgewater, Stephon Tuitt and Jadeveon Clowney as confirmed visits with the Texans.

Hugh Miller has never backed down from a challenge since he relocated to the Bailey/Conifer area in 1999. A social studies teacher at Platte Canyon High School, Miller brought with him a strong background in rugby, which he used to found Bailey Youth Rugby.
Ryley McMahen was winning his semifinal match at regionals last year against Clear Creek's Matthew McNeil. He was waiting for McNeil to attempt a throw, one that McMahen was resisting, so that the Platte Canyon grappler could turn the tables on his Frontier League foe. Then it happened.
McMahen's leg snapped. His ACL was torn, ending his season and any hope of joining his four Platte Canyon teammates at last season's 3A state wrestling tournament.
Jack Prentner, despite going 0-2, looks back at last year's 4A state tournament debut as a positive experience.
"It was breathtaking at the Pepsi Center. It was really unbelievable. I went two and out, but I still had a great experience," Prentner said. "I know how hard I have to work. I know what it takes. I also know what I need to improve on."
Connor Williams definitely noticed a change in how the Evergreen High wrestling team ran practice a year ago. Different than what he was used to when his father — Lane Williams — was the head coach. But it wasn't such a big difference in his view.

Many people have asked recently about a little brown mottled bird with a white breast and a curved beak that they have seen circling around the trunks of their trees. The bird is a brown creeper, a fairly common resident in our woodlands. Why they have become so obvious recently probably has several causes.
Austin Bernal and Tanner Pratt rushed for two touchdowns each as third-seeded Palisade rolled to a 44-3 rout of visiting Evergreen in the first round of the 3A state football playoffs on Nov. 11 at Stoker Stadium in Grand Junction.
The host Bulldogs built a 35-3 lead through three quarters and forced a running clock in the fourth. All together, Bernal scored three times.

Since they were 7 years old, Kate McDonald, Katelyn Kenchel and Kara Coughlin have been swimming together. They've been part of a journey together. College will take them in a different direction, but one more time they were brought together to embrace their future.
BAILEY — There was no sugar-coating it. It was painful, even if Platte Canyon may have had no business being as close as it was.
That's because the ninth-seeded Huskies, the home underdogs playing host to top-seeded Meeker in the quarterfinals of the 1A state football playoffs on Nov. 12, were actually in the game.

The cattails are withered and brown, and ice has formed in the shallows. Evergreen Lake is about ready for its long winter sleep. Soon ice will cover the lake, snow will fall and the black-and-white world will appear rather desolate and lifeless. However, there will be more life there than most people realize.

Ms. Freelon has shed her early Sarah Vaughan mannerisms to create her own approach to the art of jazz singing. She combines a smooth alto voice with a brash, almost aggressive, style of phrasing. Favoring intensity of feeling over subtlety of expression, Ms. Freelon generates some of the visceral excitement of a soul singer but without any of the associated vocal quirks. Although very good, her wordless improvising, which strongly reflects the influence of Ella Fitzgerald, does not quite have the depth or imagination of Dee Dee Bridgewater's or Dominique Eade's. However, Ms. Freelon judiciously limits her use of scat singing to an occasional chorus, deploying it as an appealing ornamental device rather than as the centerpiece of a performance.
On Soulcall, Ms. Freelon has assembled a diverse collection of songs and an impressive array of musicians to explore the theme of positive spirituality. What makes the recording ultimately so successful is the formidable level of concentration Ms. Freelon brings to every performance. Using 10 different combinations of musicians, she has thoughtfully and carefully reconceived each tune. "Straighten Up and Fly Right" becomes an infectious, finger snapping, acapella showcase for Ms. Freelon and the vocal group Take 6 while the 1928 song "Button Up Your Overcoat" receives a funky, thoroughly modern transformation. Ms. Freelon takes the first chorus of "Just in Time" with only James Williams on piano and redefines the song as a gospel piece before being joined by the rest of the trio for an exuberant, swinging finish. Ms. Freelon sings two versions of "Amazing Grace" – one, accompanied only by Takana Miyamoto on piano, treats the song with a child's sense of wonderment while the second, more fully realized version becomes an adult's celebration of redemption. However, not every performance achieves the same level of synergy. A couple of tracks are given bland, smooth jazz arrangements and some of the material is not as strong as it should be. Overall, however, this is an enjoyable recording from an artist who has not only found her own voice, but who, it turns out, also has something very interesting to say.
Track Listing: Better Than Anything, Let It Be Me, Straighten Up and Fly Right, Amazing Grace (duo version), Button Up Your Overcoat, One Child at a Time, I Say a Little Prayer, If It

This is the first installment of a four-part series highlighting the 2010-11 Tennessee basketball newcomers. In this edition of "Hello My Name Is," UTsports.com chats it up with point guard Trae Golden, a freshman from Powder Springs, Ga.
Q: You've been on campus for nearly two weeks now. What are your initial impressions of the team and how do you feel like you fit in?
A: "I feel like I fit in really well. Everybody is really goofy and playful--but in a good way. We all have a good time with each other, and we have great team chemistry."
Q: What about the reception you've received around campus and around town?
A: "It's great. People will come up to you, recognize who you are and tell you they're glad you're here. I've just been getting accustomed to the workouts and being sore all the time. (smiles)"
Q: What's something Tennessee fans don't know about you that they might find interesting?
A: "I eat chicken wings every day! That is the one food I have to eat at least once a day. I'd have to say Buffalo Wild Wings is one of my top spots in Knoxville so far."
Q: The team has a love affair, of sorts, with Waffle House. Do you like eating there, and if so, what's your order?
A: "I'm not really a big breakfast guy, but I will eat there. It's not one of the top places I'd pick to go eat. But if I went there I'd probably get a T-bone steak."
Q: You've been friends with fellow freshman Jordan McRae for quite some time. You're both from Georgia. Do you have any funny or embarrassing dirt on him?
A: "Man, not really. He's crazy... and he's really skinny. We'll go eat somewhere and everybody gets a 10- or 12-piece order, but Jordan always gets a six-piece. It's ridiculous."
Q: Your older sister, Ryan, is crazy smart. Tell us a little bit about her.
A: "She's like a perfectionist. I'll look at her eyes sometimes when she's reading, and they're zipping back and forth super fast. She's one of the smartest people I've ever come across. And it's not a `nerdy smart,' just really intellectual. She graduated from Georgia Tech and works at Lockheed Martin in Marietta. And she may be coming to law school here in the fall."
Q: Deron Williams or Rajon Rondo?
A: "Deron Williams. He's my man. I feel like out of those two, I can emulate my game more off Deron Williams. He's just... the best point guard in the league."
Q: In your opinion, what is your biggest strength on the basketball court? And what area of your game do you most want to improve upon?
A: "My biggest strength is that I have good offensive instincts--a high offensive IQ to make plays without really thinking about it. I want to work on my defense. I try to be mindful of that, and I know this year that's one area where I'll definitely have to step it up."
Q: Who would you pick to play you in a movie about your life?
A: "Idris Elba. He was in Obsessed and Prom Night. He's a good actor."
Q: Did you play any sports other than basketball while you were growing up?
A: "I played baseball, football, soccer. I swam. In football I played linebacker, wide receiver and running back. I moved around everywhere. In baseball I played third base and first base."
Q: What reality TV show would you most like to be a part of?
A: "One of those shows they do on NBA TV, where they follow guys around when they make the playoff or the finals. Ahmad Rashad hosts it. That would be really cool."
Q: What reality TV show would you absolutely NOT want to be a part of?
A: "The Real World. I think everybody who goes on that show comes across looking bad. It's not a good image to have."
Q: Who is your favorite pro athlete in a sport other than basketball and why?
A: "I was a big Tiger Woods fan, but I was really disappointed in the stuff that's happened with him recently. I like Peyton Manning a lot."
Q: Who is your favorite basketball player?
A: "Deron Williams."
Q: What three words would you use to describe head coach Bruce Pearl?
A: Energetic, of course. Loud. Good-guy. That's more than three words. Is that ok?"
Q: When you think about your Tennessee debut at Thompson-Boling Arena this winter, what do you envision as your first big play?
A: "I dream about this all the time! I tip the ball but I don't steal it. Scotty Hop gets it, and he throws it to me out in the open. I just get in the open court and take off from a crazy stance. I cock it back, and throw it down. Then I just start screaming--like the kind of scream where I can't talk the next day! Then I just look over at coach Pearl and the rest of the guys."
Q: Who are some of the more well-known people to have come out of Powder Springs?
A: "Basketball players Josh Smith and Morris Almond. Also Rajaan Bennett. He was a good friend of mine... played on my first AAU team. He was going to Vanderbilt to play football, but he got shot trying to protect his Mom in a domestic dispute and he passed away during our senior year."


text: The silly gross-out comedy "Hot Tub Time Machine," starring John Cusack, Craig Robinson, and Rob Corddry opens this week, with three forty-something buddies getting sent back to 1986. It co-stars two performers who were making some of the most popular movies of the 1980's. The animated 3D film How to Train Your Dragon is one of the best films I have seen this year. It features three actors who were in far poorer films earlier this month — Jay Baruchel of She's Out of My League, Gerard Butler of The Bounty Hunter, and America Ferrara of Our Family Wedding and so it was especially nice to see all three of them in a movie I really loved. I'll be posting an interview with the writer/directors later this week — stay tuned because they are as much fun as their movie is.

Partitions.. a dying strategyOld posts Tagged Old posts, Old posts October 17th, 2010
Potential for partitions on OEM systems:
Windows 3.1.. A possible three extra partitions over and above C as the OS created and required only one partition for it to work. The operating system recovery option was nine or maybe ten 1.44mb diskettes, always supplied even when the OS was preinstalled. Diskettes containing installation files for bundled software would also be included.
Windows 95.. As per Windows 3.1 except that everything was now on CD.
Windows 98/ME.. saw the advent of the CD recovery set which would wipe out any user created partition in the event that it was run. Even so, the OS required only one partition at set up, and there was room to create three other partitions. Bundled software was as Windows 95.
Windows XP.. continued the tradition of recovery sets, but also saw the advent of the recovery partition. Now, a possible two extra partitions could be created by the user, but they will be wiped out by the recovery process.
Windows Vista.. as per XP
Windows 7.. creates a 'system reserved' partition, a primary partition, and will also have a recovery partition. Some OEMs partition a largish primary partition for the OS and some leave almost the entire drive as just one. In the case of the latter, it is possible to create one more partition, but it will be wiped out by the recovery process.
Home and special build computers don't have recovery partitions, and when the OS is re-installed, it uses whatever partition was first created as the default. In this way, all versions of Windows, other than 7, will allow for three partitions over and above C drive. Windows 7 only allows for two.
At a time when hard drives are so large that partitions would be useful, it is getting more difficult to create and keep them. Music and picture files are no larger than they ever were, but thousands more can be stuffed into a huge partition.
Picture takers aren't going to lose a year's worth of pictures any more. They stand to lose ALL years, and many just can't get their heads around the way to prevent the loss. The classic answer to 'have you saved them' is 'I don't know how'. Just recently, I spent nearly a whole day sorting a client's photos into some kind of order and then consigning them to CD.
Partitions have always been on the sidelines for home users. The concept should have been made easier, but it wasn't. Now the options to create them is going. Somebody is going to have to come up with a way to create more partitions which are every bit as easily accessed as they are today.
I don't use drives larger than 320gb and I have two of them. One is the primary boot drive, the other in a USB enclosure. There is a second drive in the computer, a 160gb drive which I had been using as the primary boot, but it was proving to be a little unreliable in constant use. This is known as NOT putting all of your eggs in one basket, an adage used by many but rarely with respect to computer storage
If ever there was a case of needing to have more than one basket, a computer is it. I would like to see more options offered by hardware manufacturers and Microsoft.
Desktop machines would be easy. A dedicated bay for a regular HDD or an SSD which would auto-isolate when not in use would be cool. For laptops, maybe a small docking station type of thing which could do the same. USB is too general in the way it interfaces. It needs to be a common system to ALL computers which is dedicated to one job: saving and keeping safe whatever is saved to it.
If the above is too much to ask, set about making it possible to easily create more than four partitions on one drive, and do it before drive capacities really get out of hand.
One Response to "Partitions.. a dying strategy"
Teckset Says:
October 18th, 2010 at 11:01
Honestly, I'm not sure partitions are the answer. Hard drive sizes are exploding and spinning platter drives are cheap. Trying to explain logical drives and physical drives is difficult enough, but then asking end users to create them is almost impossible. Plus, an end user is more likely to suffer from malware attacks and media failure, either of which partitioning doesn't really help, and, in my experience, most every day users are unprepared to handle.
I like using a smallish dedicated boot drive, a separate hard drive for large, temporary media storage, and a Windows Home Server to provided redundancy and nightly backups. Either Cloud or Home Servers (of some sort) seem to be a better solution that partitioning.

Three arrested in Little Falls area meth investigation
LITTLE FALLS — A five-month investigation into the sale of methamphetamine in the Little Falls area resulted in the arrests of three people and the seizure of more than 30 grams of meth, Morrison County Sheriff Michel Wetzel reported.
On Dec. 16 officer's arrested 22-year-old Tamra Jo Schmolke, currently homeless, and 22-year-old Mason Frederick Larson, last known address of Little Falls. Schmolke was charged with first-degree drug sales and Larson was charged with third-degree drug sales. Both are currently in custody in the Morrison County Jail and have been formally charged.
On Dec. 19, 31-year-old Ezekiel David McDermott was arrested in the city of Royalton for second-degree possession of methamphetamine. McDermott is currently in custody at the Morrison County Jail waiting formal charges.
"While we have made a significant dent in the availability of meth in Morrison County, the problem has not gone away and we will continue to give the problem our fullest attention," Wetzel said in a news release. "The one thing that has proven most effective in reducing the availability of meth and the frequency of crimes committed surrounding meth, is to put people in prison for as long as possible. We will continue to make arrests and rely on our partners in the court system to see to it that prison sentences are doled out in every case possible."
Assisting the sheriff's department in the investigation were the Little Falls Police, Royalton Police, agents of the Central MN Violent Offender Task Force and the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA).

This is a special Tail of DevotionSee All Tails of Devotion
It was 3:30 in the morning, and Ana Maria, who sleeps through everything, even hurricanes, was restless. She kept trying to wake up her mom, that would just roll over to the other side and try to go back to sleep. But Ana Maria insisted, so mom finally got up, turned on the light and mumbled in the middle of a yawn: "What?" She was still restless. Mom looked at the food dish, and the dry food was untouched. There was fresh water in her bowl. The litter box in hte bathroom was nice and clean (Ana Maria and her brother Marcello do not have to go outside to go to the bathroom, as they both use a doggie litter box). Mom then decides to look outside, and sure thing, there was smoke everywhere. The dumpster in the back alley had something inside of it that was on fire, and the smoke was getting more intense rapidly. Mom called the local police, who contacted the firefighters. They put the fire out and all was well. The dumpster was (and still is) very close to a tree with dried up leaves, and the tree is close to our building and the neighbor's house. Mom was (and is!) very proud of her little girl, who got a very special "spa" treatment complete with brushing her hair and teeth (she loves it!), and a nice, relaxing massage before going back to sleep. In retribution, Ana Maria put her little paws around mom's neck, and slept like that, as if hugging her mom. Her brother got special attention, too, and slept behind his mom, with his paws touching mom's shoulders. It was as if both puppies were hugging their mom. Mom slept with a big smile on her face...
Ana Maria went to Texas with mom and her big brother Marcello for seven weeks. She loved chasing deer in the parks!

Construction safety in the repair and maintenance sector
Chan, Albert, Wong, Francis, Yam, Michael, Chan, D, Hon, Carol K.H., Dingsdag, Donald, & Biggs, Herbert C. (2009) Construction safety in the repair and maintenance sector. In Proceedings of ISEC-5, CRC Press, Las Vegas, pp. 771-776.
Accepted Version
(PDF 182kB)
Statistics indicate that the percentage of fatal industrial accidents arising from repair, maintenance, minor alteration and addition (RMAA) works in Hong Kong was disturbingly high and was over 56% in 2006. This paper provides an initial report of a research project funded by the Research Grants Council (RGC) of the HKSAR to address this safety issue. The aim of this study is to scrutinize the causal relationship between safety climate and safety performance in the RMAA sector. It aims to evaluate the safety climate in the RMAA sector; examine its impacts on safety performance, and recommend measures to improve safety performance in the RMAA sector. This paper firstly reports on the statistics of construction accidents arising from RMAA works. Qualitative and quantitative research methods applied in conducting the research are dis-cussed. The study will critically review these related problems and provide recommendations for improving safety performance in the RMAA sector.

And while today's supercomputers can use the equivalent energy required to power hundreds of homes, these future tiny supercomputers-on-a-chip would expend the energy of a light bulb.
In a paper published in the journal Optics Express, the IBM researchers detailed a significant milestone in the quest to send information between multiple cores -- or "brains" -- on a chip using pulses of light through silicon, instead of electrical signals on wires.
The breakthrough -- known in the industry as a silicon Mach-Zehnder electro-optic modulator -- performs the function of converting electrical signals into pulses of light. The IBM modulator is 100 to 1,000 times smaller in size compared to previously demonstrated modulators of its kind, paving the way for many such devices and eventually complete optical routing networks to be integrated onto a single chip. This could significantly reduce cost, energy and heat while increasing communications bandwidth between the cores more than a hundred times over wired chips.
"Work is underway within IBM and in the industry to pack many more computing cores on a single chip, but today's on-chip communications technology would overheat and be far too slow to handle that increase in workload," said Dr. T.C. Chen, vice president, Science and Technology, IBM Research. "What we have done is a significant step toward building a vastly smaller and more power-efficient way to connect those cores, in a way that nobody has done before."
Today, one of the most advanced chips in the world -- IBM's Cell processor which powers the Sony Playstation 3 -- contains nine cores on a single chip. The new technology aims to enable a power-efficient method to connect hundreds or thousands of cores together on a tiny chip by eliminating the wires required to connect them. Using light instead of wires to send information between the cores can be 100 times faster and use 10 times less power than wires.
"We believe this is a major advancement in the field of on-chip silicon nanophotonics," said Dr. Will Green, the lead IBM scientist on the project. "Just like fiber optic networks have enabled the rapid expansion of the Internet by enabling users to exchange huge amounts of data from anywhere in the world, IBM's technology is bringing similar capabilities to the computer chip."
IBM's optical modulator performs the function of converting a digital electrical signal carried on a wire, into a series of light pulses, carried on a silicon nanophotonic waveguide. First, an input laser beam is delivered to the optical modulator, which acts as a very fast "shutter" which controls whether the input laser is blocked or transmitted to the output waveguide. When a digital electrical pulse arrives from a computer core to the modulator, a short pulse of light is allowed to pass through at the optical output. In this way, the device "modulates" the intensity of the input laser beam, and the modulator converts a stream of digital bits ("1"s and "0"s) from electrical signals into light pulses.
The report on this work, entitled "Ultra-compact, low RF power, 10 Gb/s silicon Mach-Zehnder modulator" by William M. J. Green, Michael J. Rooks, Lidija Sekaric, and Yurii A. Vlasov of IBM's T.J.Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, N.Y. is published in Volume 15 of the journal Optics Express. This work was partially supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) through the Defense Sciences Office program "Slowing, Storing and Processing Light."

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2008
About the owner: Welcome to Paradise~ as close to Heaven as you will ever find here on earth. Our names are Jim and Sandi Resheske and although we live on the mainland (in So. CA.), our hearts are always in Maui! We are semi-retired, but hopefully will make Maui our permanent home in the near future. Until that time, we enjoy our stolen moments away from the rush of mainland life in Maui and enjoy all she has to offer. We have two grown daughters, one which attends college at University of Hawaii in Oahu. They, like us, hope to make Hawaii their permanent home. We hope you enjoy our condo ~ it is our second home and we are happy to share it and the magic that is Maui! Welcome ~ From the time our girls were small, Maui has always been their favorite place to go. We have traveled the World and we agree with them, there is just no other place like it! There is alway so much to see and do that you never get bored, and if doing 'nothing' is what you are after, then Maui if perfect for that too! As stressful as life is these days, Maui continues to always bring a smile to our faces. Life is just easier here and a little better! Join us and see for yourselves what we mean. Mahalo ~
Why the Owner Chose Kihei, HI, USA:
I often compare Maui and Kamaole Sands to the story of Goldie Locks and the Three Bears - Maui is 'just right!' Lot's to do or nothing at all - your choice. Lot's of tourist attractions but Old Hawaiian Charm and traditions abound. Conveinence yet still unspoiled. The choices are endless, but whatever your desire, you can find it in Maui. We have traveled the World and no place compares to the beauty and safety of Maui. A place that is part of our United States, where English is the primary language and homeland security is top notch. A place of beauty and adventure. Only Maui........... Kamaole Sands is one of the premiere condo resorts of Maui. Over 440 units, offering some of the largest floorplans on island. Add the lush and well maintained grounds (over 15 acres), beautiful fountains, pristine pool and jacuzzi's (2), tennis courts, kiddie pool, rec and exercise room - well it just doesn't get much better. Then top it off that we are directly across the street from Kamaole Beach III, one of the best beaches in all of Maui! Shallow, sandy bottom beaches, lifeguards, State Park with picnic area, rest rooms and playground only a 3 minute walk from our front door! We have toured and stayed at many other properties but Kamaole Sands is the best! Our guests think so too - just read our guest comments!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
Kamaole Sands is in a great location - South Kihei isn't too busy, but close to everything! We are located next door to Wailea - known for it's famous golf courses and fabulous shopping. Of course, you never know what famous person you just may run into! Kamaole Sands could be a destination in itself - super sized pool, tennis courts, jaccuzzi's, lush landscaping and so much more, but it is also located directly across the street from a beautiful park with restrooms, playground, bar b que areas and a fantastic beach! Then there are all the shops and restaurants that are within walking distance - a perfect location! If you like to fish or go whale watching, Kihei boat ramp is also within walking distance and there is the local Maui Bus that stops in front of the complex if you wish to travel further. Pilani Hiway (Maui's answer to the expressway) is just a few minutes away - allowing you to go to 'town' - to places like Costco, Wal-Mart, Super K-Mart, Lowe's or a major 2 story shopping mall within about a 15-20 minute drive. Kihei Town is quaint and the people are warm and friendly - Kamaole Sands is a large complex (440 condos) with a lot of amenties and is kid friendly. Our condo is located in Building 10 - the closest to the beach and the most requested. It has the Extra Large Lanai, giving our guests wonderful views of the Romantic Maui Sunsets and of the ocean and outter islands. Our condo is the perfect place to make your Maui vacation memorable - enjoy the magnificent Maui sunsets from the privacy of our extra large Lanai, as well as enjoy the Ocean view and dancing fountains. Our condo is situated to take advantage of the gentle Trade Winds that blow each day - truly makes you feel like you are in Paradise (which of course you are!).

Reviews for this host's other properties
I loved the place! location couldn´t be more perfect, everything inside the studio works perfectly, the bed and pillows are comfortable, lots of natural light...I really loved it. The fact that it has AC is perfect for summer and I appreciated having TV when I took breaks after long walks in the city. It´s located on a vibrant street, full of shops and life. Maybe can be a trouble for light sleepers but I slept perfect. I already miss this place, I was very happy and comfortable there. Patrizia is lovely and Edoardo solves any doubt quickly. I would love to stay there again :)

Very nive apartment in the heart of Florence! We had a wonderful time there. Thank you!
Arriving Toscanella Street, close to the Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti, we trouvont immediately immersed in the Florentine atmosphere, we enjoyed the high availability and flexibility of Samuel to the time of arrival and the keys.
The equipment of the apartment was very thorough and met our expectations.
We strongly recommend to our surroundings and look forward to returning on our next visit
En arrivant Rue Toscanella, à proximité du Ponte Vecchio et du Palais Pitti, nous nous trouvont immédiatement plongées dans l'ambiance florentine, nous avons apprécié la grande disponibilité et souplesse de Samuel pour l'heure d'arrivée et la remise des clés.
L'équipement de l'appartement était très complet et correspondait à nos attentes.
Nous le recommandons très fortement à notre entourage et comptons bien y retourner lors d'un prochain voyage
Patrizia provided us enjoyed the stay in Florence and even gave us the possibility to leave luggage after check-out, but unfortunately we had booked the apartment he broke the bathroom the day before our arrival and provided us with another that she had and also the truth is that for my taste is awful, uncomfortable and tetrico. This very well located next to the Ponte Vecchio but is in an old building without rehabilitating. It's like they split an apartment in two. Has "two half bath" and I say so because one is where the shower and sink and the other has the toilet. What's kitchen had a sink and a microwave that had integrated two burners, but the truth is we did not use. Overall Patrizia would rent an apartment but the truth that is not
Patrizia nos facilito mucho la estancia en Florencia y hasta nos dio la posibilidad de dejar las maletas despues del check-out, pero por desgracia el apartamento que teniamos reservado se le rompio el baño el dia antes de nuestra llegada y nos facilito otro que tenia ella tambien y la verdad es que para mi gusto es espantoso, incomodo y tetrico. Esta muy bien situado al lado del Ponte Vecchio pero esta en un edificio antiguo, sin rehabilitar. Es como si hubieran dividido un apartamento en dos. Tiene " dos medios baño" y lo digo asi porque uno es donde esta la ducha y el lavabo y el otro tiene el wc. Lo que habia de cocina es una pila y un microondas que tenia integrados dos fogones, pero la verdad es que no lo utilizamos.
En general alquilaria un apartamento con Patrizia pero la verdad que no este
Très bel appartement, très bien situé, à quelques pas du Ponte Vecchio et de toutes les attractions, mais aussi un peu à l'écart des coins trop touristiques. Internet fourni, air climatisé, très propre, toutes les nécessités sont là. Patrizia et Sabina sont très sympathiques, je recommande chaudement cet appartement! / Very nice apartement, very well located, a few steps from Ponte Vecchio and all the attractions, but still away from the very touristy areas of the town. Internet included, air conditionned, very clean, and all the necessities are there. Patrizia and Sabina gave us a very warm welcome. Would recommend this apartement to anyone!
Hallo Patricia,Donatella- the place was great directly in the city, the apartement, bed was a bite small for 3 persons., but perfect for a short city trip for a couple , grazie for your nice tips for florence. greetings Carmen
Apartment very well located in Florence and very functional. Very friendly welcome we felt like "home" Thanks
Appartement très bien placé dans Florence et très fonctionnel.
Accueil très sympathique
Nous nous sommes sentis comme " à la maison "
A great little apartment, extremely well located. Well kept with everything you need for self catering and clean. It is pretty small though, it's ideal for two people but we did also use the sofa bed as a second bed. Antonella gave us a very warm welcome and looked after us very well. Thank you Patrizia.

Just think...we'll spend a day looking back to see what everyone wants. Aargh!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Just think...we'll spend a day looking back to see what everyone wants. Aargh!
Lynnie, I hadn't thought of that. So true...
I just saw this right after I claimed another batch of fabrics from the local yard sale site (6 yards of 3 really cute fabrics for $15...how could I pass that up? There were 2 more I wanted, but I restrained myself!) & I had to share:
"Over the many years that I have been quilting, several general principles have applied: 1. There is no cure for the quilting habit. 2. We all buy fabric as though it will suddenly become unavailable next week. 3. We spend an irrational amount of time using as little as possible of one acquired fabric. 4. Many quilters have a soft spot for cats."
I love cats and bought some awesome fabric with cats on it! My kitchen is also eclectic, but we live in the Mountains with natural wood interior. My favorite colors are brights; which don't always go well in my kitchen, or greens, that usually do.
I like making Mug rugs and made quite a few to sell at the Christmas fair I go to every year. Some are very simple, like the sports ones, and some are more elaborate, like the ones young girls like to put in their bath rooms as a kind of newfangled doily.
The funniest story I have is making my son one out of car fabric, with two matching coasters; He works on cars in his spare time and I thought it would be cool to give him a clean spot to put a snack! His wife called and said "Justin loved the Mouse pad and matching coasters!" Made me crack up! Mouse pad ~ what ever works!
Give a smile away today, someone you meet might need one!
LOL! Mouse pad? That's creative anyway. When I made the batch to give my boyfriend's staff for Christmas, I found a photo online of this tag (I've no idea where the woman got them, but I wish I did!) that said "What is a mug rug anyway?" and gives a brief explanation. My boyfriend typed it up with a merry Christmas from both of us and we stuffed it in the Christmas card with their additional Christmas bonus that was donated by all the professors in his department. One of the 2 guys that got one with a coffee cup applique took the bag, pulled out the tissue, pulled out the mug rug and reached straight for his coffee cup and put it right on it, then said to me "Do I have the right idea?" before he even opened the card.
I'm not the cat person at my house, my boyfriend is. Dusty and I are both dog people. When we lived in town when he was little, we had a yellow lab named Shadow, then when we moved to the country, we got a miniature red poodle named Ginger. Backwards I know. Our neighbors had 2 black labs, and they all thought they had 2 homes. Ginger also thought she was big as the labs were, and was more of a watchdog than either of them (other dogs would wander onto either property and she'd chase them off, but not people). So, since we're of such differing opinions on animals, and he travels so much, we have no animals at all.
Im definately a cat person. Now to keep her off my cutting mat. I cant keep her aay, and she's keeping me from quilting.
Well, I'm sure going to want to see what my partner likes, so I guess I better add my likes too!
My style is very eclectic. My favorite color at the moment is teal, and love it with reds and pinks. I love animals of all kinds, but really into birds and owls right now. I have a cat that is like my baby now that my babies are almost grown.
Dustysmama, those are so much. Fun and won't get lost on a desktop! Good going! Hope you are over your bug. Mine has passed, too.
The only bad days are the ones you don't get.
ok making it easy I am making valentines and hope they will be loved. Make me anything it will be loved and used there no scrolling back ten pages. this is a nicely chatty room btw.. some are so quiet. I like reading the updates. through the travels in forums its such a nice way to slowly get to know each other. I am off to sew I have so many commitments I want to do this nicely so better early and hopeful it works than late and slammed and poor quality.
Here today... why what a lucky bunch we are.
Thank you Nancia! I'm feeling a lot better, but it's not completely gone yet. I still have 3 days of antibiotics left. It seems like every time I get a cold anymore, it takes longer and longer to get rid of it.
I just hope that when they look at them in a year they are thinking they like them instead of wondering who they can regift them to, lol!
Elisabrat, I made Valentine's also, that was my very first thought because of the time of year I guess. They are done and waiting, will wait to get my name and if she doesn't do Holidays then I'll have to do something else. Can't imagine no one not liking Valentine's. We'll see.....I like greens and blacks (colors in my kitchen) teals and chocolate brown (colors in my living room) and anything purple to lavender and teals and turquoise, just because that's my favorites. Don't have cats, allergic to them and no dog for me, lost 2 and that was enough. Have to have that coffee in the morning, absolutely, black only no sugar or cream. Enjoy iced tea in the summer. That should tell you a little something about me.

Athens...or Tucson, Arizona?
The first thing I noticed after arriving at Athen's baller airport is that Athens must secretly be Tucson, Arizona. Because that is what it looked like from the cab. Once I got into the main city though, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Athens was in fact, Athens.
After finding out that Courtney and Brenden had abandoned the ...

Not recommended for those of you who have a combination to oily skin. After putting it on my face, I was shining like I have put butter on my face. I used to be a VICHY fan, when I used the Aqualia Thermal, but this was... Not for me.

I bought this in Paris when it came out last spring and really enjoyed it, particularly as a summertime moisturizer. Like all Vichy products, this is very good for my sensitive combination skin. It has a pale pink colour, smells slightly floral and leaves a silky feel...Plus it really gave me a subtle glow eventhough it did not really add shine or tint the face, my face just looked very natural and healthy. The only objection I have to buying this again is that it only comes in a pot instead of a tube...

Birdies for Babies raises $29,000 this golf season
BEND, Ore. - Golfers from all over Central Oregon raised over $29,000 (up nearly $7,000 from 2012) in birdie and golf-related contributions for MountainStar Family Relief Nursery through its grassroots Birdies 4 BabiesTM program, an annual grassroots golfing fundraiser.
Completing its eighth season, Birdies 4 BabiesTM has generated more than $172,000 since its inception in 2005. All proceeds support MountainStar's child abuse and neglect prevention programs that serve at-risk families with babies and toddlers in Central Oregon.
The Birdies 4 BabiesTM season-long program (May through October 2013) welcomed golfers of all abilities, from beginners to professionals, to collect money for birdies (one under PAR) and for other great golf shots and activities during the 2013 golf season. Funds were raised by Awbrey Glenn Golf Club, Bend Golf and Country Club, Broken Top Golf Club, Crosswater Golf Club, Desert Peaks Golf Club, Sunriver Women's Golf Association, Caldera Links at Sunriver, Tetherow Golf Club, and Widgi Creek Golf Club.
The season concluded with a fantastic afternoon tournament at Caldera Links, where Crosswater Club members and a team of long time Birdies 4 Babies supporters from five different golf clubs organized a tournament that resulted in 60+ Central Oregon golfers who braved the cold to golf, share a pot luck barbeque, and contribute generously through a live auction and raffle. This event alone raised $15,000 for MountainStar's child abuse prevention work. Special thanks to Val and Brian Britton, Kim and John Rogers, Diana Hall, Andi Northcote, Gloria Lopez-Davis, Kathy Murch, Robin Schueler, and Sally Murphy who organized this effort, along with many individuals, local golf clubs and businesses that contributed auction and raffle items.
Special thanks to our perennial golf-ball fundraiser, Melinda Bailey, of Widgi Creek Golf Club for her continued success at raising funds and awareness for MountainStar by collecting, washing and selling used golf balls throughout the 2013 golf season.
"We are absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity of the local golfing community and golf clubs involved in the program this season," says Tim Rusk, Executive Director of MountainStar. "Birdies 4 BabiesTM brings in critical dollars to support our work with babies and toddlers and also raises public awareness about our critical and cost-effective child abuse prevention work in Central Oregon," added Rusk.

Going by its Ek Booth, Dus Youth (one booth, 10 youth) slogan, the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) has deployed nearly 4 lakh young volunteers at polling booths across Uttarakhand. The volunteers will reach out to the voters and make efforts to bring as many of them as possible to the booths on the day of polling, said a party spokesperson.
State BJP president Teerath Singh Rawat said, "We were short of party workers in the youth wing. But early this year, we added 2.5 lakh new members through a membership drive. It was a great success. Now, we have nearly 4 lakh members and all of them are all deployed in polling booths to make the Ek Booth, Das Youth campaign successful."
He said the number of volunteers deployed in disaster-hit areas such as Rudraprayag and Pithoragarh are more to compensate for the lack of what he claimed a logistical inadequacy.
Rawat said the rehabilitation and reconstruction operation undertaken by the government in Rudraprayag, Chamoli, Uttarkashi, Pithoragarh and Bageshwar were in shambles and the residents were dissatisfied.
Ashish Negi, BJP youth wing member of Augustmuni block in Rudraprayag, said, "People in the district are highly agitated. They don't have roads; water supply pipelines are not renovated and there is no arrangement for power supply. A lot of people, especially women, are unwilling to vote because of the poor relief works. But male voters want to come forward and cast their votes in our favour so that they can change the government."
Earlier, along with youth wing members, BJP used to deploy women's wing workers as well in each polling station to complete the quorum of 10 party workers.
However, this time there are enough young members so as to allocate exactly 10 volunteers per polling booth.
The concentration of youth members will be in remote and disaster-affected areas.
"The remote regions of the state were already reeling under lack of connectivity. The mid-June flash floods made it even worse. It will require a lot of energy and determination to bring people from these regions to the polling booths so that they can also take part in the electoral process, said Anoop Semwal, a member of BJP's youth wing in Kedarnath.
"That is why we have put a majority of our members in remote and disaster-affected districts."

About MeI love connecting with photographers and making art happen! I have a natural presence in front of the camera - this stuff comes easy for me. That being said, I'm not above taking direction from the photographer and will do my absolute best to get a certain shot my photographer wants.
I have four tattoos: wings on my neck, daisies on my breast, the word love on my wrist, and the script "We accept the love we think we deserve" on my thigh. You will have to be able to work with these, because they are a part of me and I don't cover them often. For piercings, I have my tongue, navel, and cartilage done. My hair is constantly changing. It's currently medium length and brunette.
If you would like to set up a shoot with me, go ahead and message me! I'd love to see what art we can make by working together! Send me a message and let's get started!

mercola brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 116 Designs von 35 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Mercola Healthy Skin
We're a natural health company specializing in high end products. Our current branding does not convey the premium pricing and quality of the product. We would like to change this with new branding and a new identity.
The current branding can be seen here.
This new product line will be positioned as an ultra-premium line of skincare. The general audience is between 25-45 years of age.
Main symbol will be the letter "M". It can be positioned in a circle, square, or standalone.
The product name is "Mercola Healthy Skin"
There should be a tagline that says "Certified Organic"
Position it as an ultra-premium brand, that can easily sit on the shelf next to the most expensive brands at Spas and Boutiques.
If making a full color logo with gradients, etc, you must include a single color version of the logo in black.

Jul 3, 2014 - By Eric Blom, Staff WriterDemocrat Keja Whiteman has sat on the Fremont County Commission for eight years but thinks she still has more work to do and has filed to run again to represent District 1.
The district covers Ethete, Arapahoe, Fort Washakie, Crowheart and most of the Wind River Indian Reservation south of the Wind River.
Whiteman points to her background in human resources and public policy as one of her strongest assets.
"That may seem boring, but that's a lot of what I have to offer," she said.
She has worked to straighten out human resource issues, Whiteman said, and she wants to do more.
The county has no consolidated human resources department, she noted, so much of that work falls to the Fremont County Clerk's Office or the county board.
Another strength of hers is understanding and representing different perspectives, Whiteman said.
By adding diversity to the board, she brings different life experiences and represents the perspectives of more people in the community, Whiteman said.
"I'm the only Democrat on our board, and I think that brings a balance, and I was the only woman for a while," she said. "I have not only the academic background but the work experience background to see the whole picture."
She is married to Kendrick Whiteman and the two have a small farm-ranch operation in Araphoe. They have three children in high school and middle school.
Whiteman also works as a consultant, mostly in human resources but also for the Wyoming Department of Education. She also has worked in education and social services.
Whiteman has a bachelor's degree in social work from Salish Kootenai College and a master's in public administration from the University of Wyoming, and she is a member of the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Tribe of North Dakota.
Though not from Fremont County, she is committed to the community, and her choosing to live and raise her children here shows that, she said.
Improving infrastructure in all parts of the county is an issue important to Whiteman.
"We have revenues right now to do some major infrastructure projects, roads and bridges, and I want to make sure they're done ... with an emphasis on health and safety," she said.
Human resources
One large project she has undertaken is to make sure all employees have written job descriptions, which many positions lacked when she started on the county board. Whiteman also has helped institute trainings for county employees.
"I think it's a great idea to grow leadership skills from within, and that's something I think's been lacking countywide," she said.
Another human resources tool she is implementing annual reviews for county employees.
"(In order) to address the negative issues, and they also recognize the outstanding work the county employees do," she said.
Another strength she brings is an ability to work with the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapho tribes, Whiteman said.
"There are so many issues that affect the tribes and Fremont County that we need to have that system built in to work on all of it. I've done some good things, but it's not to the point where it's systematic, and that's where I think it needs to be," Whiteman said.
One instance of successful cooperation she pointed to was the 17 Mile Road project. The county and tribes made an agreement in the 1990s to fix the road, she said, but progress lagged until a few years ago.
The tribes and the Wyoming Department of Transportation pushed the project, she said.
"I was able to help on the county side. I went down and testified in front of the Wyoming Highway Commission and (helped) to get some county funds to infuse," she said. "It was one of the deadliest roads in the state, and I think it's fantastic we have a lot better road to drive on now."
The improvements affect people in her district and others who travel or do business on the road, Whiteman said.
District 1
Whiteman is the only Democrat running for her seat and so will be unopposed in the Aug. 19 primary. In the Nov. 4 general election, she likely would face one of the two Republicans --Valaira A. Whiteman or Mark Lambert --running in the Fremont County Commission District 1 race.
Valaira Whiteman is Keja Whiteman's sister-in-law. Valaira Whiteman also is known as Valaira Cardenas and is running for precinct committee woman under that name.
In 2010, Valaira Whiteman ran for the Fremont County School District 38 Board of Trustees as Valaira A. Whiteman Cardenas.

Date of Stay: June, 2014
Wonderful park, very clean with manicured grass at each site. Very spacious sites with plenty of room for all slide outs. Nice concrete patios with table at each site. Very nice office staff and managers. Wish all parks could be this nice. Close to town and close enough to Edmonton for major shopping, etc. Excellent free wifi at sites.
Date of Stay: March, 2012
Very nice park. Large helpful staff. Very well maintained. Very nice facilities, large pool, workout area, pool table meeting rooms. There are a large number of permanent or long term residents, but so far, all are very friendly to transients, with plenty of sites available. Sites are very large and range from dirt with grass, to sea shell gravel. Although they are mostly 90 degree sites, the streets are not that narrow, and the plastic posts that someone mentioned slip right out of a ground socket to ease backing into. This was told to us at check in. Backing in with my 37 ft rig was quite simple as sites are large, especially with the post temporarily removed. Only complaint is that there is but one trash dumpster site near the office, and the park is very large, requiring many people to have to drive their trash to the site. Most people drive in and out during the day anyway, so it isn't really a problem. Rules are normal, and there is no feeling of being watched for violations. Very pet friendly. Many longer term people have even added decking and beautiful plant arrangements and lighting which add to the overall homey feeling. Many sites have large trees nearby which makes satellite TV difficult, although there are sites where it is OK. I was able to park forward enough to miss the trees for satellite reception. Someone mentioned bad cable TV, but ours was excellent as was our friends who were in a site nearby.
Date of Stay: March, 2012
Beautiful oak trees, one was 350 yrs old and huge. Lovely, shaded picnic areas under trees. Sites were adequate, not too close to neighbor, reasonably level. Friendly staff, older park, but well maintained. Stayed three nights, would definitely stay again. No satellite TV due to trees, but cable and local OTA TV adequate for as much as we watched it.

I blame my husband.Originally Posted by susie-susie-susie
The worst was losing my wedding rings. We were cleaning out an apartment, preparing to move, and I had just had a baby. My hands had swollen from pregnancy, so I was wearing my rings on my little finger. They slipped off somehow. I looked all over the apartment, almost gave up, but finally found them in the trash, in the big trash cans in the community carport, which was separate from the apartments. I still remember that panicked feeling, and it was over 40 years ago.
Stop looking for them. They will appear when you are not looking for them. I think if they know you are looking, they tend to hide deeper into the most unusual spaces of your home. lol.
If it was magnetic look on metal objects in the room.

U.S. airlines are courting shoulder season travelers by slashing fares on fall flights to as little as $34 each way. Carriers including AirTran, Virgin America, Frontier and American have announced significant fare reductions for domestic routes (plus some flights to Mexico and the Caribbean). But buyer beware: Restrictions — from baggage fees to blackout dates — can make an airfare deal, well, not so much of a deal.
How do you get the best price for your particular itinerary? It all depends on which cities you're flying between, what your travel dates are and how many bags you want to check — so it's important to search for your itinerary on multiple airline Web sites to see where you can find the cheapest rates (and check out our airline baggage fees roundup for info on different airlines' checked bag charges). To give you an idea of which bargain may be best for you, here's a brief rundown of what's on offer:
AirTran Airways
This systemwide sale includes hundreds of discounted routes with fares starting at $54 each way before taxes. Available travel dates are broad: fly through the end of January on any day of the week except Fridays and Sundays.
What's the Catch? There are some holiday blackout dates, and your first checked bag costs $20.
Virgin America
Travelers heading to California or Las Vegas can book flights for as little as $39 each way before taxes. This includes noteworthy coast-to-coast fares like Washington D.C. to Los Angeles for $109 each way.
What's the Catch? Travel dates are limited. You'll only get the very cheapest fares by traveling between September 14 and October 6 on select days of the week. Plus, each checked bag costs $25 each way.
Frontier's offerings include discounted flights to cities throughout California, the Midwest, the Rockies and other U.S. regions, starting at $34 each way before taxes. Travel is good through December 15.
What's the Catch? Flights are not available on Fridays or Sundays, and a $20 fee applies to each of your first two pieces of checked luggage.
American Airlines
Fares start at $59 each way plus taxes, and this deal encompasses a wide range of travel dates. You can fly through the end of January.
What's the Catch? Look out for numerous holiday blackout dates, including seven blackout days in November. You can only fly on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Keep in mind that American charges $25 each way for your first checked bag and $35 each way for your second checked bag.
To see more cheap flights, check out our Airfare Deals. Which deal do you think is the best? Will you be booking fall travel with any of these airlines? Post your comments below!
