Splendido appartamento in pieno centro di Nizza, esattamente come presentato sul sito. Dotato di tutti i comfort, pulito e ben riscaldato.
Gentilissimo il sig. Salvatore nell'accoglienza e disponibilità.
Vivamente consigliato.
Salvatore est une personne sympathique et sérieuse que je recommande vivement.
Schönes, kleines Appartement. Leider hatte es Kakarlaken.
非常好客的主人 - 萨尔瓦托雷....
Very hospitable owner - Salvatore....
Siamo stati benissimo! Alloggio più che confortevole a due passi dalla via principale e dalla stazione. Da ripetere!
本身就是一个伟大的小公寓,2人用一张好床。视图不是很大,但你不能指望该价格。巨大的损失,第二个舒适的椅子下面两个吧椅存在。 (应该很容易解决)相反的是该网站表示没有停车场!
Op zich een prima klein appartementje voor 2 pers met een lekker bed. uitzicht niet geweldig maar dat kun je voor die prijs niet verwachten. Groot gemis aan tweede lekkere stoel naast de 2 aanwezige barkrukken. ( moet makkelijk op te lossen zijn) in tegenstelling tot wat de site aangaf is er geen parkeerplaats aanwezig !
Verder heel centraal en dicht bij de tramlijn naar Vieux Nice. Alles goed bereikbaar per openbaar vervoer.
公寓不大,但超强功能和可爱,毗邻尼斯的主要街道,距离Place Massena广场和尼斯的旧城区有10分钟的步行路程,然后绝佳的位置!萨尔瓦托雷非常有益和美妙的逗留。我推荐它!
Appartamento piccolo ma super funzionale e carino, situato accanto alla via principale di Nizza e a 10 minuti a piedi da piazza Massena e Vecchia Nizza, quindi posizione fantastica! Salvatore molto disponibile e soggiorno fantastico. Lo raccomando!

Salvatore was very nice and gave us some tips for Nice. He explained everything detailed and was trustworthy. The location and the apartment itself were ok but there was a huge problem with it: when you opened the window it smelled really bad, as if we were living in a cloaca ... We mentioned the problem to Salvatore and he said sorry and hopefully the bad smell vanished until the morning. It was the first night and we thought ok, we wait until the next morning. Because we couldn't open the window the apartment was very stuffy and we had only an electric fan which wasn't a big help. The next morning it was ok so we thought it was good now but soon the bad smell blew up again and it was useless to wait till the smell vanishes. In the four days we opened the window for about 5 minutes. In the corridor outside there was better air than inside the apartment. Unfortunately the apartment was not amazing but sunny all right.
Nice city was amazing and we had a lot of fun but the situation in the apartment ruined our holiday a little. We went unwillingly to the apartment and only to sleep. We left as early as possible and came back as late as possible. I hope the smell-problem is solved until the next guest arrives at the apartment otherwise they would have the same bad expirience like us.
Such a disappointment.
At the time we arrived to Nice, we had to meet Salvatore at the agency he works for. Salvatore was really kind with us and explained very well how to get to the apartment and some other things, such as supermarkets around the area, etc.
When we firstly got the apartment it looked pretty good, the apartment was setted up and clean.
A nasty smell came from the outside, we read about this smell in the street in other comments but did not really give it importance.
The smell was like a mix between cats pee and poo, which made us unable to open the window for the entire stay. To make it worse, the smell sometimes came from the bathroom. In addition, the apartment was very warm and humid. At least Salvatore had the detail of leaving a fan in the apartment.

If the fate of London Welsh does depend on a three-man RFU tribunal this week, then Lyn Jones for one will hope for more justice than he felt he got in north London on Sunday. The coach was spitting feathers after his side had played the last six minutes of the first half with 13 men and then had two tries turned down by the television official.
After seeing him deny Gavin Henson a try because of midfield obstruction and then, barely five minutes later, watch the England wing David Strettle go over in similar circumstances, Jones wondered why the television official had not been called in a second time.
He was also upset at the way the Devon referee, Luke Pearce, controlled the breakdown, suggesting different standards were applied before and after half-time. "You want to go from week to week with an understanding of what is a competitive ruck," said Jones. "I felt the first two breakdowns were clear wins for us, but we got penalised. That's fine. We now know what the rules are and we put the message on.
"But then second half it's not quite like that. Are you allowed to compete for the ball or not? I'm confused. I'm just a coach. I don't know what it must be like for players. One minute you are told one thing, then something else happens.
"I just struggle with the consistency. All you ask is: 'This is how I see it, this is how it's going to be.' Fine. Let's get on with the game," said Jones, whose team are three points off the relegation place and who face an RFU panel after admissions that they played an ineligible player – Tyson Keats, Sunday's scrum-half.
Previously clubs, including Sale, Leicester and most recently Exeter, have been docked at least a point and fined in similar circumstances and Jones clearly fears the worst. "I could tell you last July" – when Welsh won the court case which sanctioned their promotion to the Premiership – "that it wasn't going to be an easy season," he said.
"All the players can do is influence what they are in control of and that is their performances. And that's what we're trying to do. The hearing on Tuesday is out of the players' control. All they can do is look after themselves, prepare for rugby and get on with it. And we'll look forward to the last five games."
Unfortunately for Keats, a New Zealander who played nine games before London Welsh spotted difficulties with his registration, the omens are not good. Within a minute the scrum-half had his box-kick charged down and in the ensuing panic London Welsh gave away their first penalty of the day. By half-time they had given away a hatful and were down to 13 men after Pearce got fed up with issuing final warnings and decided to take action.
The fact that the interval lead was a mere five points was down to Saracens' policy of kicking almost everything into the corner and relying on a rock-solid line-out to win bigger rewards. Once it did, when the referee awarded a penalty try and sent the prop Tom Bristow to the sin-bin to join the wing Phil Mackenzie, but considering their privations and a lack of possession the Welsh would not have been unhappy with a scoreline which showed a try against the tightest defence in the league for their new boy, Seb Stegmann, and an ugly drop goal for Henson.
The try was a triumph for the Welsh defence which not only held firm on their own line but forced Saracens into silly errors which cost them 30 metres and possession. After that it was a team effort with 10 pairs of hands keeping the ball alive until it reached the former Harlequins wing in space on the left.
However, within seven minutes of the restart Saracens stretched the lead through Joel Tomkins. Once again Welsh were penalised at the breakdown but the move ended with Charlie Hodgson putting Duncan Taylor through a gap and the centre sending Tomkins in with three tacklers on his back.
Fifteen minutes later the game was effectively over and the television official was at the start of a hectic eight minutes, first of all confirming Will Fraser had got the ball down for a third try before ruling Welsh had been held up over the Saracens line and that Luke Arscott had obstructed the defence when Henson bundled his way over.

My blog is an assortment of baseball and baseball related topics discussed by me reflecting my opinions, thoughts, or beliefs on certain situations. The scope of topics is vast from any team to specific players and specific records. Watch for regular updates and, hopefully, positive feedback.
I'm a Canadian baseball fan going to Western University, in London (Ontario), with the aspiration of becoming a professional sports writer or commentator for baseball. This is a great way for me to get writing about baseball and I pride myself on proper and well thought out writing. I played highschool ball and local baseball and love the game.
Every now and again I like to write hockey articles too, after all I am Canadian.
Mitchell, let me know if you would be interested in writing a guest column for TheDugoutDoctors.com. I need someone to write about the future of the Nationals with Stephen Strasburg and hopefully Bryce Harper. Take a look and let me know, Matt.

We are seeing more and more cloud-based big data solutions for security, business analysis, application performance management, and many other things we see the results of every day, from when we search on Google, Bing, etc., to the email we get from various marketing campaigns. We know that governments and many others are using big data, whether in a cloud form or on-premise form, to correlate various forms of data to determine who we are, where we going, what we are doing, how we are doing something, and sometimes why we are doing anything. So with all this data out there in the hands of 'others', how can privacy be achieved for the individual? We touched on this within the Internet of Things: Expectation of Privacy article, and within this we spoke about the handling of personal and identifiable information (PII).

Big Data Security Tools
On the May 30th Virtualization Security Podcast, Michael Webster (@vcdxnz001) joined us Live from HP Discover to discuss what we found at the show and other similar tools around the industry. The big data security news was a loosely coupled product named HAVEn which is derived from several products: Hadoop, Autonomy, Vertica, Enterprise Security, and any number of Apps. HAVEn's main goal is to provide a platform on top of which HP and others can produce big data applications using Autonomy for unstructured data, Vertica for structured data, Enterprise Security for data governance and hadoop. HP has already built several security tools upon HAVEn, and I expect more. Even so, HAVEn is not the only tools to provide this functionality, but it may be the only one to include data governance in from the beginning.

Here is a practical Buddhist guidebook that offers techniques for developing a truly compassionate heart in the midst of everyday life. For centuries, Tibetans have used fifty-nine pithy slogans—such as "A joyous state of mind is a constant support" and "Don't talk about others' shortcomings"—as a means to awaken kindness, gentleness, and compassion. While Tibetan Buddhists have long valued these slogans, recently they have become popular in the West due to such books as Start Where You Are by Pema Chödrön and Training the Mind by Chögyam Trungpa. This edition of The Great Path of Awakening contains an accessible, newly revised translation of the slogans from the famous text The Seven Points of Mind Training . It also includes illuminating commentary from Jamgon Kongtrul that provides further instruction on how to meet every situation with intelligence and an open heart.

"Jamgon Kongtrul's commentary on the slogans is one of the best books I studied. I was relieved that Buddhism was so simple. You can just follow the book and do as it says, which is extraordinarily powerful and such a relief."—Chögyam Trungpa

I bought a 26" Innova with 12' frame. So far the only problems have been with the unskilled operator.
well yes "unskilled operator" on this end too is probably creating a lot of the problems.
I bought a used HQ16 in March. I loaded 2 practice pieces and then decided to just go for the real thing. I got a huge amount of tops from my guild and just did it.
I tried a panto once and HATED it. I do not like being at the back of the machine. I bet I have done 50 quilts and am good with an all over design. I just did a custom type doing something in each block.
I have an excellent beginners DVD that I have outgrown and would sell. Send me a private message. This is for any long arm machine.
I LOVE my HQ.
Thank you so much for all your advice and support. I bought a Tin Lizzie Queen Quilter. I have practiced about an hour a day and am better, but feel a lot more confident knowing this could take a year or more to get good. I bought a couple of yards of good quilting fabric to practice on. No problem setting it up - just followed the video that came with it. My main problem is just getting a feel for the movement. I will look for classes in the area.
Thank you AnnaF for the drawing idea. I will try that, too.
Another great learning option is to buy some cheater cloth and practice doing SID, different designs in the blocks, sashing designs, filler stitches etc.
I went through 2 full bolts of muslin the first year, just practicing new techniques. Get the zippers - that way you can just put the practice piece on before you do something new to a quilt. I still have a practice piece ready to go. If batting scraps are short for you, you can sandwich old practice pieces between new ones.
When you are done with them, they make great beds for pets, so they won't be wasted.
Thank you, Shelley. I will look into the zippers.
That is a great idea for those of us who want to FMQ on our regular machines too!! Thanks for the idea :thumbup:Originally Posted by AnnaF
what are the zippers? i don't know what u mean, pls explain
one of the best practices is to write the abc's and names
I like to make circles when changing the bobbin to check tension.
Congradutations and good luck!

Crystal, the world leader in water feature technology with offices in the Middle East and throughout the world, has helped create an innovative "Smart" fountain at the newly regenerated Washington Park in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. The water feature is the first in the world where the public can make the fountain "dance" by selecting the music.
The Musical Water Feature Automation System spontaneously transforms any audio directed to it into self-choreographing musical fountains. Using their mobile devices, visitors to the park can select music for the water feature to dance to, which can be heard on the park's public speakers.
Washington Park recently reopened following an extensive regeneration project for the surrounding neighbourhood, which saw the park expand from six to eight acres, with the 7,000 sq ft interactive smart fountain at its heart. Using over 130 of Crystal's sequencing ChoreoSwitch devices, Washington Park opened to great fanfare on July 6, 2012.
Paul L'Heureux, director of Crystal commented: "This is a truly ground-breaking water feature, and we're expecting to see many more "Smart" fountains at commercial venues from now on. It demonstrates that modern water features aren't just to look at but can take public engagement to the next level. They are pioneering entertainment devices that can interact with people, creating experiences that make destinations memorable. This was a significant public space regeneration project for Cincinnati and I am pleased Crystal could play a part."
Interactive Experience
The park now contains one zone named the "Walk of Fame" experience, which combines classical music, arts education and the interactive Smart fountain. Located right outside the steps of Cincinnati's famed Music Hall, the Walk of Fame is the only project of its kind in the world and promises to become a tourist destination for the region. The Walk of Fame experience begins with pavement stones engraved with names of Hall of Fame inductees – similar to the Hollywood Stars! But the Walk of Fame is about learning, fun, and classical music, so it doesn't stop there.
Mobile devices can be used in the park to learn about Hall of Fame inductees by reading bios, seeing pictures, listening to educational audio tours, and by playing music through an interactive mobile jukebox which broadcasts music through the park speaker system. In addition to making the fountain dance, visitors can also use their mobile devices to request short musical excerpts, which can be listened to privately or be heard in eight zones throughout the park via its public speakers.
Washington Park is 150 years old and is located in the centre of Cincinnati. The recently completed regeneration project lasted almost two years.

HITS program to provide positive impact on RIC Nursing Department
John Deckro and Judy Murphy are the first Health Information Technology Scholars in Rhode Island.
Back in 2008, RIC's School of Nursing, in conjunction with the Providence VA Medical Center, was chosen as one of 15 national partnerships to participate in the VA Nursing Academy. The four-year program aims to bridge the gap in the shortage of certified nurses to care for patients and families nationwide.
John Deckro and Judy Murphy are two of seven federal VA Medical Center employees hired so far as faculty in Rhode Island to teach nursing classes at RIC and work with students in clinical groups at the School of Nursing Simulation Center and the Providence VA Medical Center.
They were also recently selected as Health Information Technology Scholars (HITS), the first from the state of Rhode Island.
As part of the yearlong HITS program, Deckro and Murphy are collaborating to develop a model of the VA Medical Center's Computerized Patient Records System (CPRS) to support general informatics knowledge, clinical computer skills, and simulation exercises with students and faculty.
With a model CPRS system, RIC nursing students and faculty that have clinical placements at the VA Medical Center will be able to learn the conventions of the real system in a controlled, calm environment instead of in a busy clinical setting, Deckro said.
"It can serve as a vehicle to introduce some of the aspects of electronic health records throughout the curriculum," he added.
The model can also better prepare students for what they will face in a clinical setting. Murphy, a nurse and educator, has had experience in simulation instruction. She said research in the field suggests that the fidelity of simulation is related to the good outcomes.
Judy Murphy, left, with two RIC nursing students.
"The more realistic it is, the better, and the reality is that out in health-care settings, they're using computerized records," Murphy said.
Deckro described the VA's system of electronic health records as "one of the largest and most well-developed systems in the country."
Murphy referred to the other components of the database that students can learn to manage through the practice model being developed.
One feature is a pharmacy interface that helps to safely administer medication to patients. The database also has clinical support tools that remind nurses of any tasks they failed to complete.
Deckro, who is experienced in clinical care and as a nurse educator, emphasized how important simulation can be to familiarize students with safety initiative procedures and to improve their communication skills.
He explained that improving communication is essential because the majority of errors that occur in health care are attributed to poor communication.
Murphy said that the use of a model CPRS database in simulation ultimately "integrates safety features as well as accessibility of data" to provide a safe foundation for students to practice.
She added that a partnership between nurse clinicians and nurse educators will inform and enhance nursing.
The model CPRS database can make students aware of the evolving health care system, which she said is focusing more on health promotion and disease prevention rather than solely on clinical care. "That's really what the focus of baccalaureate nursing is," Murphy said.
Deckro and Murphy are among 52 others selected nationally to participate in the HITS faculty development program through four enrichment phases designed to promote the integration of vital information technology into college nursing curriculums across the country.
The HITS program is a collaborative project between the University of Kansas School of Nursing and Nursing Schools at the University of Colorado Denver, Johns Hopkins University and Indiana University in partnership with the National League for Nursing (NLN). It is funded by a five-year $1.5 million dollar Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant.
John Deckro
In January, Deckro and Murphy began the HITS program by completing on-line modules and discussions with other scholars in preparation for an immersion workshop in March.
Next, they attended the three-day workshop held in Denver, Colo., as part of Phase 2 of the program. It gave them the opportunity to continue working on their group project and to network with other informatics scholars.
Additionally, they were able to meet directly with nationally renowned scholars, and were introduced to the vast number of health technology innovations currently available.
Deckro provided two examples of how innovative technology is being used in nursing education: a virtual intensive care unit that students can use to determine which medications to administer to patients, and a virtual home set up by an occupational therapist for students to identify safety hazards and the solutions to address them.
The most noteworthy example of how technology can be used to educate and enrich the lives of patients was a virtual reality computer program inspired by the popular virtual world of Second Life.
In the program, Deckro and Murphy recalled how patients can create an avatar and interact with others in their virtual world. Many times, as is the case for a presenter at the workshop who has multiple sclerosis and is wheelchair bound, the patients get to participate in activities that they would otherwise be unable to do, Murphy said.
"There's a library there, where they have evidence-based articles from medical literature that the patient's can access so they can learn more about their condition," she added.
Phases 3 and 4 of the HITS program require the participants to continue developing their projects through further online tutorials and discussion groups, so they can introduce an approved technology project into their schools of nursing curricula.
At this point, Deckro and Murphy are not sure if the CPRS model will be up at RIC this fall but they are currently working on how to implement it with the help of User Support Services on campus. With the support of a federal appropriations grant, cameras will be installed in the RIC Nursing Skills Lab, which Murphy said would help with the debriefing of clinical simulation scenarios that are conducted there.
"It's all about trying to better prepare nursing students to give better care to clients, families and population groups," Deckro said.

Front-end dev skills at Yahoo! Juku school
May 5, 2008 at 10:04 PM
Add to Delicious or Add to My Yahoo!
Today Yahoo! announced via the YUI blog that they're seeking students for their Yahoo! Juku program. Yahoo! Juku is an interesting training opportunity in front-end development skills—"HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP", plus more—as well as working experience within a guided program inside Yahoo. Yahoo is pretty direct about their goals for the Juku program, which are to grow talent they particularly need, train their own staff to teach (cool!) and also draw attention to the void around web skills in academic CS programs. Here's Yahoo's call-to-action:
If you're a budding Front-End genius with a strong background in programming fundamentals and a passion to learn, [Yahoo! would] like to hear from you.
The vision of the Juku program is to provide top-quality training in frontend technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP) with the ultimate goal of producing great frontend engineers. Participants are put through 3-4 months of intensive training taught by some of the best frontend engineers at Yahoo!, focusing not just on concepts, but also on best practices in terms of maintainability, accessibility, and performance.
I like that Yahoo is addressing the lack of CS dept. attention toward web development skills, while so many social websites bring web programming into day-to-day lingo. And in the ashes of the Yahoo-Microsoft merger coverage (disclosure: I work for partly MSFT), it is nice to see focus continue on efforts like education, even with so many open questions about where Yahoo heads next.

the pre-cursor to pop-under ads
by enlightened hippie breeder May 22, 2005
A window that pops up on the screen suddenly, often without warning, advertising something. Nobody ever actually buys what the pop-up is advertising. They're just annoying pieces of crap. Some people create ones that install malware or other unwanted files onto a user's computer.
In other words, an embodiment of Satan.

I clicked the download button for a file on Megaupload and a pop-up ad came up advertising a free iPad. I knew it had to be a scam, so I tried to close it, but it wouldn't close. So I had to close Firefox in Task Manager, but that closed ALL running Firefox processes, not just the pop-up ad. Freakin' annoying.

As NewsBusters reported Thursday, Rachel Maddow visited our booth at the Conservative Political Action Conference taking place in Washington, D.C.
Showing herself to be a really good sport, Maddow discussed her CPAC visit on the MSNBC program bearing her name.
In particular, she was very pleased with our Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann doormats, although she was offended we didn't have one for her.
"Nobody wants to stomp me out?" (video embedded below the fold with partial transcript):
RACHEL MADDOW, HOST: I'm offended. Nobody wants to stomp me out? Chris and Keith, I want to say one thing about this: they picked very handsome pictures of you guys. I mean, really. You have to admit. Keith doesn't look puzzled, he looks fierce. Chris looks delighted to be here. And Keith looks like, "Don't mess with me." I think, I think there is a secret undercurrent of flattery. [...]
There were those wipe your feet on Keith Olbermann or Chris Matthews doormats. Stomp out the liberal media. They did not have one for me, which I am trying to not take too personally.
Hey Rach - maybe we'll give you your own doormat if the next time you tell your viewers what booth you were attending.
Regardless, nice display of sportsmanship, Ms. Maddow. Brava.
You can find the Matthews and Olbermann mats at the MRC Store.

WordPress Smiley Spam Technique
Last Updated on by Leland Fiegel
I'm not sure if this technique has been around a while or what, but I've just noticed it. Someone just tried to leave a comment on older post here at Theme Lab with the usual "nice post thanks" and a 🙂 smiley as the anchor text (or image in this case).
How It's Done
These comment spammers prey on unsuspecting WordPress users by linking to their site with a smiley image like this.
Wow! Really awesome post! :)
The smiley is then parsed into an image, which is then displayed in your WordPress comment moderation panel.
How To Spot It
In the comment moderation panel, under the smiley image you'll notice a small, barely noticeable, underline.
This indicates the smiley is linking to something, most likely a site you wouldn't approve of.
I guess spammers will never stop of thinking of new ways to spam, but it's best to be aware of the new techniques as they come out. Have any of you seen this type of comment spam before?

Product Information
Dogs will put their best paw forward with the Black Paws Chipper Dog Harness!
Why We Love It:
Brighten your dog's day with a walk by wearing the Black Paws Chipper Dog Harness in aqua. The soft mesh harnesses are conveniently made to slip over the dog's head and attach only once under the belly. There is a leash attachment on the back for walking. They contain a layer of padding on the chest for extra comfort while walking.
Sizing Information:
Small: Chest 12-16" Neck 11"
Medium: Chest 15-19" Neck 14"
Large: Chest 19-25" Neck 16"
This is my favorite comfort harness for little Miss Chloe to wear - she looks so stylish in it. It washes up nice - no shrinkage or piling.
This is an excellent harness. It appears to be very comfortable and the fit is perfect. The only problem with the product is the plastic clip fastener. It is very stiff and not easily depressed to release the clip from the lock.

In a previous life, this Gulfstream jet ferried top liquor-company executives to corporate meetings in boozy style. Now it's retrofitted to hunt insurgents. The wet bar, alas, is no longer included.
In late 2008, Lockheed Martin paid $18 million to equip a Gulfstream III with an array of sensors and cameras, making it able to shoot video of suspicious activities below and beam it rapidly to a ground station for analysis and early-warning.
Since Lockheed's Airborne Multi-Intelligence Laboratory — as the plane is now known — completed its first flight in 2009, a number of other commercial aircraft have received similar intel-heavy upgrades. Beechcraft passenger planes are now full-motion-video-capturing machines flying above Afghanistan. Like the Lockheed plane, the revamped Beechcrafts have four computer terminals for intelligence experts to capture sound and imagery on board.
But few can beat the Airborne Multi-Intelligence Laboratory's history as a party jet. Jack Daniel's execs used to fly in it, and before they did, a "semi-pro hockey team" used it to get around. "We took a private executive jet with a wet bar and made it into an operational [intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance] platform," Lockheed strategic programs manager Charles Gulledge told National Defense magazine during the plane's recent stop in the United Kingdom. "Now we know what it takes."
Lockheed's still looking for an American buyer for the plane. (The Finns are paying $100 million to turn one of their Air Force's EADS planes into a similar flying intelligence station.) Whether the U.S. military will opt to purchase it is uncertain. As the Washington Times reported last week, some senior commanders have recently complained that they're capturing more footage of insurgents than analysts can possibly interpret. Maybe it's time to reinstall the wetbar.

How ya'll do?
Once again I need some advice/help.
I have found a place to put one of my swarm traps away from my crib this weekend so.......My question is it is capable of holding 5 deep frames, so should I put all five in and set it out/ or only 2or 3 or should I put medium frames in to give more volume for scouts to examine?
If so how many.
This will be my first crack at attracting bee's so any suggestions will truly be appreciated.

America Is Better Than Glenn Beck
Tired — ready to crash, but — read this, if you have time: America is Better Than This.
Yo, Huffington Post, How About: Congratulations Mr. President!
Democrats — including the Huffington Post, apparently — are so intimidated by the right — they're running from amazing things like this:
"Farewell, Dear Leader?"
How about: "Jimmy Carter Ends Potential Conflict With North Korea."
Me and the Civil Rights Movement
I lived in Bloomington, Indiana in the mid-60's, during the height of the civil rights movement. My father was the minister of the Unitarian church. He took part in local demonstrations and he spoke about civil rights in his sermons.
The environment then was as hot as it is now but 24/7 cable "news" didn't exist, and it wouldn't for 30 years.
Being a Unitarian was bad enough, much less being in favor of civil rights for "negroes." Churches and local groups were pitted against each other. Hate was everywhere.
I was in elementary school — 8, 9-years-old — and what I remember most is the fear.
Our little house had a big "picture window" (as they were called then) in the living room. I remember sitting on the couch across from it and my mother closing the curtains and telling me to stay away. She was afraid a brick or a rock or — a bullet — would fly through it.
I remember being afraid of that window for months.
Glenn: F**k your egomaniacal self. You have no idea.
The National Geographic
I saw an ad a few minutes ago on MSNBC for a new National Geographic special. That tickled a brain cell about Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. owning that outlet.
Sure enough, when you tune into National Geographic television shows you're lining Rupert Murdoch's pocket and thus News Corp.'s and Fox's and Glenn Beck's and Sean Hannity's and Bill O'Reilly's and (heh, "fair and balanced"), Republicans.
Just sayin'.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Never Had to Ask His Followers to Leave Hateful Signs at Home
The organizers of Glenn Beck's "Restore Honor" rally set for tomorrow at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., have asked attendees to leave their (hateful) signs at home, so as not to "deter from the peaceful message of Beck's rally."
Well, the NAACP had something to say about that:
"With more than 101 years of fighting for equality and freedom for all Americans, we respect their right to express their opinions, however out of the mainstream they may be," said Jealous. "But we are here to honor Dr. King's historic gift of non-violence and equality to our nation, and we would note that Dr King never had to ask his followers to leave hateful signs and guns at home."
Nuff said.
Tweets of the Day
From the ever-clever OTOOLEFAN:
And from always-on-point Glenn Greenwald:
Imagine: Harry Reid Says There Are "Domestic Enemies" in Congress
You probably heard that Sharron Angle, the Tea Party candidate for the senate in Nevada (she's running against Harry Reid), agreed with a radio talk show host that there are "domestic enemies" in congress, right? I didn't think so because the national media is ignoring it.
Now imagine for three seconds if the tables were turned and Harry Reid agreed (as Angle did) with this statement: "…we have domestic enemies and … some of them are in the walls of the Senate and Congress…" Fox would be turning blue with 24/7 rage and after about two days it that topic replace the mosque on CNN and MSNBC too.
So, really people, it's high time we stopped pretending the media is sooooo "liberal."

In the first game of Wednesday's double header at the M.A.C. Center, the Kent State women's team picked up its second consecutive victory and matched its win total from last season with a 69-46 win over visiting Niagara.
The Flashes (3-5) used a 28-4 run to end the first half and take a dominating 40-15-halftime lead and never looked back.
The Flashes had four players reach double figures in the blowout, led by senior guard Ashley Evans' season-high 15 points. Junior forward Montia Johnson recorded a double double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Kent State seniors - guard Amber Dunlap and forward Cheylene Harper - each chipped in 10 points of the bench. Junior center CiCi Shannon did a little bit of everything in 31 minutes by contributing 11 rebounds, five points, three blocked shots and a steal and assist.

Boring in the pub, boring on the air
Page Tools
Radio is the last refuge of pub bores, writes Cavan Hogue.
Have you ever wondered what pub bores
do in the mornings? The answer came to me recently in a blinding flash of enlightenment.
You all know the bloke I'm talking about. There's one in every pub.
You're sitting quietly, sipping your beer and minding your own business, when you become aware of a gradually swelling whining sound.
You're about to have an encounter of the third kind with that most threatening of species, Rusticus tabernae.
After a couple of schooners he proceeds to trumpet his opinions on anything and everything. As a rough rule of thumb, the loudness of his voice is in inverse proportion to his knowledge of the subject under discussion - not that he's interested in anyone else's opinion.
After a few more schooners he's ready to fight anyone who dares to disagree with him.
After a couple more, the bouncer throws him out, and peace descends again upon the earth.
Of course, the phenomenon isn't limited to your local pub; it can be witnessed also at elegant soirees - just substitute dry martinis for schooners.
Rusticus patricius is closely related to Rusticus tabernae but can be distinguished by its habitat and plumage and its habit of flitting from one group to another, while Rusticus tabernae typically stakes out its territory and holds it against all comers. Rusticus patricius has a slightly better chance of survival because it takes longer for his boorishness to become apparent; he is helped, too, by the fact that everyone else is talking and not listening. But eventually he oversteps the mark and is gently persuaded to move elsewhere by a social harmony consultant.
So, picture our orator the next morning, with a sore head and suffering from podium deprivation syndrome. He's ready to attack anything that moves. Where does he go?
Why, talkback radio, of course. Here he can rant to his heart's content. The more outrageous and ignorant his views, the better they're received. Not only is he among fellow fringe dwellers, but he is told by the kindly talkback radio host that, far from being a loud-mouthed boor, he's one of our nation's real people and anyone who disagrees with him is an elitist snob.
At last he has found someone who really understands him - a holy being who sits on the right hand side of God (and just about everyone else).
But just as our humble orator feels he has found his niche in life, he commits the one unforgivable talkback sin. He says something that doesn't support the prejudices of the High Priest of Bile.
And before he knows what has hit him, he has been cast into the street again by the electronic equivalent of a bouncer.
How fleeting is fame.
Oh well, you can't win them all. The conspiracy bug has burrowed into society even at the highest levels. So, when do the pubs open?

"Greedy stock market speculators caused the stock market crash of 1929, which triggered the worst depression in American history; President Herbert Hoover believed in an outdated laissez-faire economic philosophy, so he did nothing; thankfully, President Roosevelt was elected, and his New Deal policies saved capitalism and helped the common man survive the Great Depression; and finally, World War II was an enormous boon to the U.S. economy, and it finally solved the problem once and for all."
Those of us with a preference for economic liberty and peace should be greatly disturbed by this story. If true, it suggests that the best ways to fix a broken economy are (1) total war, including conscription; and (2) dramatic increases in government taxation, spending, regulation, and redistribution.
Thankfully, there are convincing reasons to believe that the standard narrative is wrong. There is a lot more I need to read on the topic, but here are some resources and ideas that I look forward to exploring further:
Stephen Davies, "Top 3 Myths About the Great Depression and the New Deal," LearnLiberty.org:
In my next post, I will share excerpts from Rauchway's The Great Depression and the New Deal, which - unlike the libertarian works linked to above - is firmly on the side of the standard narrative.

Environmental Technologies Verification
Are you a technology company developing eco-innovations?
Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) is a new tool to help innovative environmental technologies reach the market.
Unfortunately, an innovative technology that performs well above normal standards or that presents an novel approach to solving an environmental problem can face difficulties in penetrating the market due to lack of independent and credible evidence of its capabilities. The result is that many groundbreaking products that can benefit the environment are struggling to get the recognition and success they deserve simply because they are new and have no independent confirmation of their performance.
An updated version of the ETV General Verification Protocol (GVP) has now been published and can be downloaded by clicking the 'ETV General Verification Protocol' link in the Downloads panel. The GVP is the technical reference document describing the procedures guiding the ETV process and the requirements for the different organisations taking part in it. BRE Global contributed to the preparation of this new version of the GVP which clarifies some testing and quality management requirements.
Engaging with environmental innovators - BRE Global's ETV scheme - on BRE Buzz
Where ETV could help
For technology producers ETV provides an accredited process which enables performance claims for innovative environmental technologies to be verified by qualified third parties called 'Verification Bodies'. The 'Statement of Verification' delivered by the Verification Body at the end of the ETV process provides independent confirmation that the performance of the innovative product has been tested and found to be both credible and scientifically sound.
ETV also provides impartial and credible confirmation of performance for technology purchasers and investors committed to finding the best solution for their situation, but often faced with incomplete, non-comparable or non-trustworthy performance data.
ETV not a certification scheme or quality label, but does ensure that technology owners claims are credible and as structured and complete as possible so as to present a clear assessment of the entire technology's potential and value.
The output from the ETV process is provided in the form of a Statement of Verification which facilitates direct and objective comparison between different technologies reducing the risk to purchasers and investors of new technologies.
ETV results may also be used to prove compliance with any relevant legislation, to underpin a bid in public tendering, to convince investors or customers of the reliability of performance claims and to avoid having to repeat demonstrations for different users.
BRE Global and ETV
BRE Global's Environmental Technology Verification programme offers a step by step, risk managed, approach for the performance verification of cutting edge environmental technologies that may otherwise struggle to differentiate themselves in a highly competitive and crowded market.

A new progressive set of zoning guidelines known as the "Downtown Code" enjoyed definitive Metro Council approval Tuesday night, officially becoming Nashville's new framework for future development in its urban core.
Inspired by the 2007 Downtown Community Plan, the Downtown Code bucks the prevailing method of basing zoning regulations on land use categories such as residential, commercial and industrial. Instead, the proposal embraces design-oriented standards — signage, proximity to the street and entrance and parking locations, for example.
Hailed by those in the urban design community, the Downtown Code moves "from a focus on use to a focus on form," planners like to say. In other words, the function of a building is less important than how it interacts with its surrounding neighborhood.
Councilman Mike Jameson, who represents portions of downtown and co-sponsored legislation to adopt the code, called its passage "enormously significant" in changing the way Nashville's downtown grows.
The long-awaited final version of the zoning plan — devised to facilitate more mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly pockets within downtown — arrived on first reading at the council in December following a two-year study and community outreach effort conducted by the Metro planning department.
Even before the department embarked on that study, planners had already found the existing downtown zoning system to be out of sync with recent downtown developments, including the Pinnacle at Symphony Place office tower and the Row 8.9 Lofts on Rosa Parks Boulevard. Both projects required exemptions from zoning requirements, hurdles now removed with the passage of the Downtown Code.
The designated area is outlined by Jefferson Street to the north, the interstate highway loop to the south and west, and the Cumberland River to the east.
In addition, the plan divides downtown into four general zones: the Gulch neighborhood along 12th Avenue, as well as north, south and central downtown. Planners who created the guidelines envision replicating the kind of mix-used development found in the 12South neighborhood, downtown Church Street and Broadway.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- The Mountain West Conference announced its men's and women's outdoor track & field all-conference teams Monday. All-MWC selections were awarded to the top three finishers in each event at last week's conference championships.
CSU senior Ryan Billups set a school record Saturday in Albuquerque, N.M., in the triple jump. On his final attempt he jumped a distance of 15.46 meters (50 feet, 8.75 inches), surpassing the previous record by 10 inches set by Michial Clark back in 1970.
Caston Mabin, a sophomore out of Aurora, Colo., placed second in the men's high jump Friday, clearing a height of 2.04 meters (68-25), tying for 10th all-time in CSU's record book. Junior Tyson Williams finished third in the shot put. On his third attempt he threw a distance of 17.27 meters (56-8). The team of Brian Fox, Sulaiman Sayyid, Kelby Dias and Antoine Harrison crossed the finish line in 40.97 seconds in the 4x100-meter relay Friday.
Kristen Hemphill earned all-conference honors in both the 3,000-meter steeplechase and the 5,000-meter run. The senior finished first in the steeplechase, clocking a time of 10:35.85, breaking the track record at New Mexico by over 7 seconds. In the 5,000-meter run, Hemphill placed second with a time of 17:29.39.
Freshman Elizabeth Johnson placed second in the women's discus on Friday. She threw a distance of 44.50 meters (146-0).
Senior Kristen Kugler came in second in the women's heptathlon Thursday with 5,057 points. She placed first in the javelin throw (38.96 meters, or 12-10), first in the 800-meter run (2:23.19), second in the high jump (1.67 meters, 5-5.75) and second in the shot put (12.59 meters, 41-3.75).

Get ready to have your mind blown. With only salt, sugar, smoky Lapsang souchong tea and your refrigerator, you can make "smoked" salmon at home in just a few hours, with no babysitting required.
Grind 3 tablespoons of Lapsang souchong tea in a spice grinder or coffee mill until very fine. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in ¼ cup kosher salt and 3 tablespoons sugar. Pour half of the tea rub into a container large enough to fit the salmon comfortably.
Set a 1¼-pound piece of center-cut, skin-on salmon on top, skin side down. Pour the remaining tea rub over and pat lightly to evenly coat. Cover the container and refrigerate for eight to 12 hours.
Rinse the salmon under cold running water, without wiping off the extra rub. Pat dry with paper towels.
Slice into paper-thin pieces across the grain.
Or, poach the cured fish in a 250° oven in a medium saucepan filled with just enough extra-virgin olive oil to cover. Cook until pale pink, 18 to 20 minutes.
Remove the salmon from the oil and break into flaky shards with a fork.

Update, 3:30 p.m. Thursday: Oakland police say a 16-year-old boy charged with lighting a fellow bus passenger on fire has told them he committed the attack because he's homophobic.
Alameda County prosecutors say the suspect, Richard Thomas, a student at Oakland High School, will be tried as an adult. He faces charges of aggravated mayhem and felony assault resulting in serious bodily injury in the Monday evening attack on Luke "Sasha" Fleischman, 18, of Berkeley. Fleischman, who was wearing a skirt, had fallen asleep at the rear of a bus traveling through East Oakland when the attack occurred.
Prosecutors said today that Thomas will face hate-crime enhancements on both charges. Fleischman suffered second- and third-degree burns and is being treated in a San Francisco hospital burn unit.
From the Oakland Tribune this afternoon:
Thomas' "violent and senseless criminal conduct resulted in severe and traumatic injuries to a young and entirely innocent victim," said Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley.
"The intentional and callous nature of the crime is shocking and will not be tolerated in our community," O'Malley said. "Our thoughts remain with the victim and the victim's family in wishing for a full recovery from the extensive burns suffered as a result of this crime."
Felony aggravated assault carries a maximum prison sentence of life with the possibility of parole, the sentence for the assault charge is a maximum of eight years in prison, and each of the two hate crime enhancements carries one year each in prison, a spokeswoman for the Alameda County District Attorney said Thursday.
"During (the) suspect interview, the suspect stated he did it because he was homophobic," lead police investigator Officer Anwawn Jones said in the probable cause statement.
Here's our earlier account of the case, from KQED News Associate Berkeleyside:
By Tracey Taylor
Support and funds are pouring in for an 18-year-old Berkeley student who was set on fire while riding an AC Transit bus in Oakland Monday evening.
Luke "Sasha" Fleischman, a senior at Berkeley's Maybeck High School, was sleeping in the rear of a bus heading toward East Oakland. Fleischman's skirt was set on fire, according to a report in the Oakland Tribune.
Police arrested a 16-year-old male Oakland High School student on Tuesday on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and mayhem. He could face other charges, according to the Tribune, which said he was identified through surveillance video on the bus.
Fleischman, with the help of other riders, was able to extinguish the flames but suffered second- and third-degree burns to the legs that will require significant skin grafting. The student is in stable condition at St. Francis Memorial Hospital's Bothin Burn Center in San Francisco and has a good prognosis for recovery, according to an email sent out to the Maybeck community by the school's director, Trevor Cralle, Tuesday.
Fleischman does not identify as male or female but rather as "agender," and feels comfortable wearing a skirt, his mother, Debbie Fleischman, told the Tribune.
Laurie Kahn, operations and finance manager at Maybeck High School, a private, multicultural high school on College Avenue in south Berkeley, said today that Fleischman is a "remarkable kid" and an "excellent student" who is a National Merit Scholarship semifinalist.
"This has been devastating for all the community," she said.
Fleischman prefers to be referred to as "they" rather than "he" or "she," Kahn added. "Sasha worked out the gender issues on their own and we try to respect the wish to be referred to as 'they.'"
Friends and acquaintances have been quick to rally around to support the Berkeley student. At the time of writing, nearly $16,000 has been raised from 283 people through a campaign set up on the Fundly website by Fleischman's cousin, Joshua Allan. Nearly 200 comments expressing support have also been left on the site. The fundraising goal is currently set at $20,000, with funds earmarked for medical bills. [Update: As of 2:45 p.m., less than two hours after Berkeleyside's post was published, the number of donors was more than 400 and the amount pledged has increased to about $21,000.]
The Maybeck office is accepting cards and gifts for Sasha, but note that flowers are not permitted in the burn unit of the hospital.

New Account Question
Re: New Account Question
Pretty sure you can't.
Sony, thanks to a lot of complaining from people who care a little too much about it, does not want anyone harvesting. Some people actually pay others for loaded profiles, so that they appear "elite", without doing the work themselves.
Unfortunately, this also punishes those, like yourself who just want to move their own information.
I could be wrong.

I want to create a new account, and I was wondering if it is possible to keep all my saved data, dlc content and trophies from the games I play from my old account. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
DLC ownership cannot be transferred between PSN accounts; Trophies are locked to the PSN account who earned them & while gamesave files will work with other accounts, some gamesave files are locked to the user's PSN ID under which it was created.
Your best bet is to create a new XMB User, create a PSN ID under it and not delete the other account. This way you can copy gamesave files from one account to another and see if they all work & still make use of some of your DLCs.

Columbia College under the Yosemite Community College District Board Policy (5500) has specified those standards of student behavior which it considers essential to its educational mission and its community life. These regulations are designed to represent reasonable standards of conduct. The Student Code of Conduct governs the behavior of students and guests on campus and at college-sponsored activities. Violations of the code may subject individuals to disciplinary action, which is consistent with the requirements of due process.
The following conduct shall constitute good cause for discipline, including but not limited to the removal, suspension or expulsion of a student.

a. Short-term suspension of five school days or less, and lesser sanctions.
b. Short-term removal by a College instructor.
c. Disciplinary probation for a period of one year or less. d. Written or verbal reprimand.

Trump Urged to Put Nation Before Family Profits
Given the international scope of the Trump Organization's operations, a newly sworn-in President Trump will likely run afoul of several anti-corruption protections from Day One.
Jump to navigation
Given the international scope of the Trump Organization's operations, a newly sworn-in President Trump will likely run afoul of several anti-corruption protections from Day One.
NPR, Marketplace Morning Report, November 21, 2016: There are concerns about ethics and propriety after Donald Trump met last week with three business partners from India. The three are involved with Trump Tower Mumbai, a luxury apartment complex that bears the Trump name, and they've told Indian media that they hope to do more business with the Trumps. The meeting raised questions about the fact that Trump still hasn't agreed to put a wall between himself and his global business holdings, which include operations in at least 18 countries.
Rick Berman, the king of corporate front groups and propaganda, has been caught on tape. Listen:
It turned out that CMD hadn't seen the last of the O'Keefe crowd.
"The taxpayers have been left holding the bag.... As a result of this I think there is going to be a lot more oversight." Those were statements made by Nevada Assemblyman James Ohrenschall in an interview on Vegas Inc. September 21.
This week, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a non-profit government watchdog group, released a report -- "The Worst Governors in America," and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker came in sixth in the top category. The report has an amusing circus theme and dubs Walker a "Ringmaster," but it is heavily documented and footnoted to reliable sources and primary documents. The criteria CREW used when assessing the nation's governors were the following: corruption, transparency, partisan politics, pressuring public officials, cronyism, self-enrichment, scandal and mismanagement.
In theory, Wisconsin has some of the strongest ethics and lobbying laws in the country -- legislators cannot accept even a cup of coffee from lobbyists or others who have an interest in the outcome of legislation -- but these laws are meaningless if the state ethics board does not take action to enforce them.
Two teenage girls were arrested and detained this week for Tweeting threats to a rape victim. It appears that the young people of Steubenville have not learned much about the uses of social media even after the extraordinary trials and convictions of two young men for rape this week in a case that relied heavily upon the photos, videos, and Tweets taken concomitantly with the crime.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) have introduced a new constitutional amendment to overturn the damage done by Citizens United, Buckley v. Valeo, and other judicial decisions that have diluted the role of ordinary people in American democracy.
A majority of Visa shareholders rejected an effort to require the company to provide more disclosure about its role in the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and related lobbying activities. Boston Common Asset Management, an investment firm focused on socially responsible investing, and the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations (UUA), a religious organization that affirms the inherent capacity for good in human beings, filed a resolution to require the company to disclose all payments used for lobbying purposes, including payments to groups like ALEC. In all, over 100 million votes were cast in favor of the resolution -- 37% -- but that substantial outpouring of support for greater transparency accounted for less than a majority of the votes cast by Visa shareholders.

The general election is still months away but one candidate is getting support from a fellow senator. Independent Angus King is endorsing Susan Collins in her Senate contest against Democrat Shenna Bellows.
Collins and King will appear together on Friday at the Margaret Chase Smith Library in Skowhegan.
King has not previously endorsed Collins. In fact, they were political opponents when he defeated her in a three-way gubernatorial race in 1994; however, the two have worked well together in Congress.
They created a "gang of 14" to deal with the government shutdown, worked together on a student loan bill and combined their muscle to ensure the Navy exercised an option to build an extra destroyer at Bath Iron Works.
