Reviews of this property
The lodging (two bedrooms each with private bath or shower / WC) was absolutely suitable for our needs (two pairs). The central location for city trip well. The service really good: We could Qaurtier upon arrival already refer to about 12.00 clock and had it on the day of departure until 16.00 clock to leave.
Das Quartier (zwei Schlafzimmer mit jeweils eigenem Bad bzw. Dusche/ WC) war für unsere Bedürfnisse (zwei Paare) absolut passend. Die zentrale Lage für den Städtetrip gut. Der Service wirklich gut: Wir konnten das Qaurtier bei der Ankunft schon um ca. 12.00 Uhr beziehen und mussten es am Abreisetag erst um 16.00 Uhr verlassen.
The taxi was waiting and drove us to the apartment. The hostess was waiting and showed us the convenience of leiligheten.Litt small utensils to 6persons .Savnet a coffee maker and glass. Otherwise it was nice and clean .No noise in the area and now close to the center.
Taxien venta og kjørte oss til leiligheten. Vertinnen venta og viste oss det praktiske i leiligheten.Litt lite kjøkkenutstyr til 6personer .Savnet en kaffitrakter og glass. Ellers var den fin og ren .Ingen støy i området og nerme sentrum.
Good opportunity and good service from the landlord.
And super location.
God lejlighed og god service fra udlejer.
Og super beliggenhed.
Top Accommodation clean and brilliantly located. Everything works very well.
Top Unterkunft- sauber und super gelegen. Alles sehr gut funktioniert.
The location of the apartments is ideal to explore the city on foot or by public transport. The two bedrooms are nice and bright and the two bathrooms very comfortable for a family of four.
It is a pity only that living and dining room no separate window - except the front door - and have it therefore there is something dark.
Many thanks to Nora who gave us a very nice and made sure that the taxi that took us to the airport, came on time.
I'm going to the apartment Recommend safely.
Die Lage des Apartments ist ideal, um die Stadt zu Fuss oder mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln kennen zu lernen. Die beiden Schlafzimmer sind schön hell und die beiden Badezimmer sehr angenehm für eine vierköpfige Familie.
Schade ist lediglich, dass Wohn- und Esszimmer keine eigenen Fenster - ausser der Haustüre - haben und es dort deshalb etwas dunkel ist.
Herzlichen Dank an Nora, die uns sehr nett empfangen hat und auch dafür sorgte, dass das Taxi, das uns zum Flughafen brachte, pünktlich kam.
Ich werde die Wohnung sicher weiterempfehlen.
Absolutely perfect experience! The host was great, we actually got lost on way to apartment (completely my fault) but they waited for me, were extremely helpful, nice and informative. Provided suggestions and info, and were available to answer any questions we had.
The apartment itself was wonderful, it's just as described. It was big, clean and bright with all amenities one would need. It's in a quiet location, steps from the main pedestrian street. It is right in the heart of everything!
We had a great time, and hope when we go back we can stay in the same place!
Apartment very well located, many attractions within walking distance and close to subway. Friendly and helpful reception. Apartment well equipped and clean, ideal for two couples or a family. Negative: bedding, duvets and fine enough not very comfortable bed.
Appartement très bien située, nombreuses attractions touristiques accessibles à pieds et métro proche. Accueil sympathique et serviable. Appartement bien équipé et propre, idéal pour 2 couples ou une famille. Point négatif: la literie, couettes assez fines et lit pas très confortable.
The apartment is very centrally located, very clean and it has everything worked out fine with keys. Would come again!
Das Appartement ist sehr zentral gelegen, sehr sauber und es hat alles bestens geklappt mit Schlüsselübergabe. Würden wieder kommen!
Despite Marcel couldn´t meet us, her girlfriend was very kind and helpful with us.
The main entrance of the building and the elevator could seem a bit old, but the apartment is really nice, comfortable and very close to the main tourist points in Budapest.
It has everything we need, so I would recommend this apartment if you are looking something cheap, centered and comfortable.

Address for Correspondence: Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Digra, H No-24, Pragati Nagar, Upper Barnai, Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir. Email: email@example.com
A two years and eight months old female child presented to us with complaints of progressive falling of hair after neonatal period and delay and difficulty in walking. She also had history of excessive sweating mostly on forehead, delayed dentition and delayed milestones. She was second in birth order born of non-consanguineous parents. Family history of similar ailments was negative. On examination, she had almost alopecia totalis {Fig.1}. She had florid rickets in the form of widened wrists, widened ankles, open anterior fontanelle and mild frontal bossing along with slight bowing of legs and waddling gait. Occipitofrontal circumference {OFC} was 48 cms. She was short statured with a height of 80 cms { Less than 5th centile}. Her biochemical parameters were in favour of rickets showing low levels of serum calcium {8.6mg, dl} and moderately low levels of phosphorus {2.03 mg, dl}, alkaline phosphatase was markedly raised {1764.8 IU, l}. Serum parathormone {PTH} levels were also raised {354.9 pg, ml} indicating secondary hyperparathyroidism. Levels of 1,25-dihyroxyvitamin D {1,25-D} were also markedly raised {1053.6 pg, ml {normal 19.6-54.3 pg, ml}} which strongly points to vitamin D dependent type II rickets. Renal and hepatic function parameters were within normal limits. Her roentgenographic findings revealed metaphyseal flaying, fraying and cupping of proximal and distal tibia, distal femur, distal radius and ulna. Before reporting to us the child had received treatment in the form of injectable vitamin D for few months with no improvement in the condition of child.
What is the diagnosis_?
Vitamin D dependent rickets type II also known as Vitamin D resistant rickets Type II is a rare genetic disorder which presents as rickets not responsive to high doses of vitamin D. It is characterized by presence of elevated serum levels of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D {1,25-D} and in many cases alopecia. {1} It is a rare autosomal recessive disease resulting from end organ resistance to 1, 25-D caused by defect in the vitamin D receptor {VDR} gene {2}. Two siblings with vitamin D dependent type II rickets were reported for the first time from India in 1990 {3}. Some patients, especially those without alopecia, respond to extremely high doses of vitamin D¬2, 25-D, or 1,25-D. This response is due to a partially functional vitamin D receptor. All patients with this disorder should receive a 3 to 6 month trial of high-dose vitamin D and oral calcium. To start with dose of 1,25-D should be 2 µg, day, but some patients require doses as high as 50–60 µg, day. {4} Calcium doses range from 1,000–3,000 mg, day. Patients who do not respond to high-dose vitamin D may be treated with long-term intravenous calcium, with possible transition to very high-dose oral calcium supplements. Treatment of patients who do not respond to vitamin D is difficult.

When Dan Savage made critical remarks of the Bible in the context of gay bullying at a high school journalism conference, a group of Christian students walked out. This outraged some members of the religious right, who called Savage a bully. Savage used some swear words, but he was making a larger point about the hypocrisy of picking and choosing which parts of the Bible are relevant. Regarding those who walked out, Savage remarked, "It's funny as someone on the receiving end of beatings that are justified by the Bible how pansy-assed people react when you push back." Savage later apologized for that remark, but not for his criticisms about the Bible.
According to Fox News, Savage's remarks made girls cry and Christian students feel bullied. Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, quipped, "Let me lay down a public challenge to Dan Savage right here and now: You want to savage the Bible? Christian morality? Traditional marriage? Pope Benedict? I'm here, you name the time and the place and let's see what a big man you are in a debate with someone who can talk back. It's easy to make high-school girls cry by picking on them. Let's pick on someone our own size!" — a debate offer which, Raw Story reports, has been accepted by Savage.
Is criticizing the Bible a form of bullying Christians?

I had a peculiar dream one night, where a bunch of little fluffy white bunnies were following me around. They didn't do much, as bunnies do, they just looked up at me with their black peppercorn eyes and hopped after me where ever I went. I could never figure out what they wanted, if they were evil spy bunnies or just some cute company to make me feel less lonely?
When I woke up in the morning I kind of missed them, somehow I quite enjoyed their presence. So I thought that it would be nice to make some bunny stickers and place them around the office. They appear in odd places, where you least expect them to be, inside a cupboard holding an umbrella or in the stairwell having a cup of tea. I have always liked the idea of hiding images or messages in plain sight, around everyday objects, so when your eyes start to wander you will be surprised to suddenly see a bunny watching you from the corner of the room, with a camera around its neck.
Everyone at MOO has been excited about the new additions to the team, though I think Jon may have got more than he bargained for… "I thought I was signing up for marketing but now it seems I've been roped in to animal control!" says Jon.
Follow Jon on his hopping mad bunny hunt: twitter.com/overheardatmoo.
The sticker on the painted brickwork doesn't seem to have any square edges. Is it on a transparent background or can you cut the shapes of the bunnies out in the printing process? Could the red bunny be a bit of Photoshop trickery? The slight amount of transparency on the red bunny through to the brickwork underneath looks a bit suspect. Don't get me wrong – I really like it and its given me an idea about how to use a similar technique for a treasure hunt but if what I suspect is true, it would be nice to see a post of a few photos of the actual stickers complete with their square-edged borders.
I'd also be keen to see if the glue used on the stickers holds up when stuck onto different surfaces like the painted brickwork. From experience, I know stickers have a habit of either falling straight off (post-it note style) or otherwise welding themselves on for ever. In the case of the latter, only nail varnish remover can get rid of the sticky mess left over once the paper has been picked off.
Loved my recent order of minicards for our CityCamp. Here's the tweet + photo:
This is so cute! i did the same thing after dreaming about the ending to "butterfly lovers" ( they even followed me to University lounges !)

The Little Castle of Downtown Berkeley
Berkeley City Club • Berkeley, CA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two
- Continental Breakfast
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Three Nights
The Destination
Berkeley is the mellow, intellectual middle child of the Bay Area family. North of Oakland and across the Golden Gate from San Francisco, this city has a reputation for being a low-key college town and home to some of the most enlightened thinkers in the Golden State. Along with the academic crowd comes an appreciation for cultural offerings, offbeat boutiques, and locally sourced cuisine. And did we mention its vast swaths of green space? It all comes together to make a downright delightful town.
The Digs
Just one block from the downtown campus of UC Berkeley, the lovely Berkeley City Club is a historic landmark nicknamed the "little castle." Once upon a time, Hearst Castle architect Julia Morgan designed this building as a women's social club complete with verdant gardens, interior courtyards, a ballroom, and a heated indoor swimming pool. Its magical elegance has only grown in the intervening years. Make your way into your guest room, where a soft bed and views of the Berkeley Hills or San Francisco Bay await.
The Diversions
Step out the door and turn the corner onto Telegraph Avenue for excellent boutique shopping. The hotel is only six blocks from the Downtown Berkeley BART station and public transportation in case you'd like to venture farther afield. Later, waltz through the Regional Parks Botanic Garden to see native plants of the Golden State in bloom. In the evening, you can catch a live performance at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Cal Performances, or Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse—all within a half-mile of the hotel.
"We were enchanted with... Berkeley City Club! So much so that we extended our trip and stayed another night! Each room is unique; full of... antiques and artwork. Everywhere we turned, there was another beautiful sight. We would love to go back."-- LivingSocial Member
"Beautiful building, wonderful staff. Really enjoyed a relaxing evening. Excited to return again sometime."-- LivingSocial Member

Evaluation of the long-term effectiveness of three instruction modes for inhaling medicines
Palen, Job van der and Klein, Jakob J. and Kerkhoff, Antoon H.M. and Herwaarden, Cees van and Seydel, Erwin R. (1997) Evaluation of the long-term effectiveness of three instruction modes for inhaling medicines. Patient Education and Counseling, 32 (Suppl. 1). S87-S95. ISSN 0738-3991
|Inhaled medication is important in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this paper a comparison of the long-term efficacy of three instruction-modes is presented. A total of 152 COPD-patients were randomized into one of four groups: Personal-, video-, group-instruction and a control group. Inhalation technique was assessed by means of checklists, on which essential inhalation manoeuvres were identified. Up to 9 months later, 148 patients returned for follow-up assessment. Prior to instruction 61% of patients in the control group had a perfect score on essential actions, compared to 62, 65 and 53% for those receiving group-, personal- and video-instruction respectively. At follow-up these percentages were 49, 97, 75 and 76%. For group-(35%) and video-instruction (24%) the increase from baseline was significant. Examining the different inhalers under investigation, it is striking, that only 24% of all patients with a Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) performed all essential checklist items correctly, versus 96% for those using a Diskhaler. The fact that for the MDI this percentage improved to 90% post-instruction, shows that time spent on instruction, is time well spent. We conclude that group instruction seems superior to personal counselling, and equally effective or even better than video instruction. Personal instruction should not be dismissed and a combination with video instruction might prove to be effective as well.

Is there any type of injections that can slightly reduce an excessive implanted fat in the forehead which stands as a cover to depression? Regards.
Can Excess Implanted Fat Be Reduced Through an Injection?
Doctor Answers 3
Fat removal from forhead after fat graft
It is possible to remove the fat to make you more symmetrical but it needs to be physically removed, not dissolved through an injection. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon.
Excess fat injections
There is no injection specific for dissolving fat. Corticosteroid injections can irregularly depress the elevated fat and can create a depression in some areas. Surgical removal could cause scarring and numbness. Liposuction may not remove enough and could cause uneveness.
Disolving fat
There are no injections that can disolve fat uniformly and accurately. Steroids injected in the subcutaneous area can disolve fat but can not do that accurately and uniformely.
May need surgery to remove the fat

Carrie UnderwoodHost
Carrie Underwood has received five CMA Awards in her career: three consecutive Female Vocalist of the Year trophies (2006-2008), as well as Single of the Year (2007 for "Before He Cheats"), and the Horizon Award (2006). Her 23 career CMA Awards nominations include three for Album of the Year for Carnival Ride (2008), Play On (2010), and Blown Away (2013); five nominations for Music Video of the Year for "Jesus, Take the Wheel" (2006), "Before He Cheats" (2007), "Blown Away" (2013), "Somethin' Bad" a duet with Miranda Lambert (2014), and "Something in the Water" (2015); and two for Musical Event of the Year for "I Told You So" featuring Randy Travis (2009) and "Somethin' Bad" (2014). She has been nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year every year since first being nominated in 2006 (2006-2015).
Underwood emerged from the promise of her 2005 "American Idol" win to become a true multi- format, multi-media superstar, spanning achievements in music, television, and film. A seven-time Grammy Award winner, she has amassed more than 100 major honors, sold 58 million records worldwide, and recorded 23 No. 1 singles (13 of which she co-wrote), with a catalog of songs that have been streamed more than 1.5 billion times worldwide. Underwood was recognized as Pollstar's top female Country touring artist for her headlining tours in 2008, 2010, and 2012. Her first four studio albums, "Some Hearts," "Carnival Ride," "Play On," and "Blown Away" – each certified multi-Platinum or Platinum – have tallied an incredible 38 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart.
In 2013, Underwood starred as Maria von Trapp in NBC's three-hour holiday blockbuster, the Emmy-winning "The Sound of Music Live!," whose airings attracted 44 million viewers. In December of 2014, the Grand Ole Opry member released her first hits collection, Greatest Hits: Decade #1. Billboard's best-selling hits album of 2015, the chart-topping package was certified Platinum in January of 2016, making Underwood the only Country artist – and one of only six all genre artists – to launch an album to Platinum success since the time of its release in December of 2014. Celebrating her first 10 years of music, the collection's 25 songs included two new No. 1 hits co-written by Underwood: the Platinum-certified, Grammy-winning "Something in the Water," as well as the Gold-certified "Little Toy Guns." In 2015, she began her third season as the voice of primetime television's No. 1 program, "Sunday Night Football."
Underwood's current single, "Church Bells," is quickly climbing the charts, following the No. 1 successes of "Smoke Break" and "Heartbeat," all from her chart-topping, Gold-certified fifth studio album, Storyteller.

Hosts Rockaway Surf Club Surfing Retrospective
On Saturday, September 21st, the Rockaway Beach Surf Club on Beach 87th Street hosted "Talk Story: The History of New York Surfing."
Included in the retrospective's festivities was a showing of vintage surf photographs of the "elder statesmen" of the Rockaway surf scene who were the guests of honor.
There was an exhibit of vintage surfboards from the longboard era of the '60s and '70s. Big wave legend Rusty Miller came in from Australia to attend and autograph copies of his book Turning Point. A screening of the vintage surf film "Morning of the Earth" was projected on a big screen in the club's courtyard.
The event was the brainchild of Brandon D'Leo a 43 year old surfer and working artist and his Australian girlfriend, Davina Grincevicius
The Surf Club itself has an interesting history.
D'Leo's Surf Club partner, Brady Walsh, works for the FDNY. Walsh and D'Leo first met in Colorado and then serendipitously reconnected years later on the same street in Rockaway Beach. They had a seminal idea to create a place where people could work on projects such as building surfboards, skateboards and making beach accessories. They also saw it as a place to host events and have workshops on topics like surf etiquette. Their original cliental was from Rockaway Beach. The surfers from Brooklyn and Manhattan started coming on the A train to go surfing. This gave them the idea first developed by Steve and Christian Stathis of Boarders Surf Shop to build and rent lockers so boards and equipment could be stored locally. The evolution of the Rockaway Beach Surf Club and its mission had no definition other than to see what happened and where it would go. D'Leo felt that surfers today did not have an appreciation of surf culture and history. He wanted to bring back vintage surfboards and show their lineage and provide a sense of connectivity to the origin of surfing in Rockaway. Slowly, the concept caught on by word of mouth.
During Hurricane Sandy, the Rockaway Beach Surf Club became a relief center for the area. It served as a conduit for 5,000 volunteers helping with demolition removal and cleanup of 730 basements between Beach 67th and Beach 116th Streets. D'Leo still very much believes in the Rockaways, including the surf community. His vision is that Rockaway grows and that businesses open in a thoughtful way. He hopes that Rockaway doesn't lose its charm.
The reason for hosting "The History of Surfing in New York" he said, was, "to provide a sense of connectiveness between the new wave of surfers and the old vanguard who preceded them."
"Talk Story" guests of honor included the elder statesmen of Rockaway surfing, Buddy Sammis, Dee McClean, Dennis McClean, Dennis Farrell, Don Eichin, Ed McCabe, George Lintz, John Roberts, John Beattie, Winfried Breirer, Lou Romas, Jerry Reen and Pat Reen. They came to "Talk Story" which is a Hawaiian tradition of remembering the past and preserving it for the future. It provides a sense of history, culture and appreciation for surfing.
Old acquaintances were renewed and surf stories were told. The music of Barry Flannagan and his Grammy winning group HAPA was played, providing a connection to the pure Hawaiian language, culture and music. A great time was had by one and all.
Dee McClean, a local surf legend whose classic photo of him "hanging ten" was displayed, has seen the ebb and flow of Rockaway surfing over the past decades.
He said, "the Rockaway Beach Surf Club is a wonderful group who loves the community and worked tirelessly during Sandy to help rebuild it."
T.A. Fitzpatrick who contributed old photos and a quiver of vintage longboards noted, "they are a 100% asset to the Rockaway community."
You can get in touch with the Rockaway Beach Surf Club on their Website, Rockaway Beach Surf Club.com. Their email and Facebook address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
They will be holding events every Saturday through November 9th. It is a must see place with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The "Talk Story" exhibit will bring you down memory lane and connect you with the past.
Asked why he is honoring the old time surfers of Rockaway Beach, D'Leo responded without hesitation that, "I hope when I am older, someone will remember and honor me."

Toys 'R' Us to sell its own Wi-Fi tablet for children
Wayne-based Toys "R" Us said today it will begin selling a kids' version of an iPad-style, Wi-Fi tablet that it developed and manufactured as a way to create an exclusive electronic product to drive sales.
The 7-inch tablet, called "tabeo" will cost $149.99 and come pre-loaded with 50 preinstalled apps for games like Angry Birds and for educational math and reading programs. The tablet will also have controls that allow parents to limit Internet access to specific websites, or to limit a child's online access to certain hours of the day, or days of the week.
Toys "R" Us stores will begin selling the device Oct. 21, and it will begin taking pre-orders on its website today.
Toys CEO Jerry Storch has expanded the retailer's private label offerings since joining the company in 2006, arguing that it is the best way to win price wars with competitors such as Walmart. The competition, Storch has said repeatedly, can't undercut you on price if they don't carry the item.
But with a touch tablet, Toys not only is competing with existing versions of kid-friendly tablets by other manufacturers, such as the Kurio 7, Meep, and Lexibook tablets that Toys already sells, but with Amazon's Kindle and Apple's iPad, because so many parents allow their children to use their iPads or Kindles to play games or read books.
Veteran toy analyst Sean McGowan, of Needham & Co., warned, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that appeared on the Journal's website Sunday night, that the Toys "R" Us' tablet venture could be risky if tabeo doesn't sell well. If tabeo flops and has to be discounted,Toys won't be able to get the markdown money it might have received from a manufacturer if the product wasn't its own private label, McGowan told the Journal,
Troy Peterson, vice president of Toys "R" Us, said in a statement that Toys has conducted extensive research with parents and children over the past year to determine what features they want in a kids' tablet.
Toys "R" Us also has created a website, tabeo.com, with information about the new device.

My husband is a graduate student and TA so he doesn't exactly get time off...thankfully our baby will be born (hopefully) right in Christmas break, so he will not be in school then. I believe he gets about a month off. I am taking 12 weeks off starting the week of Thanksgiving and returning mid-February.

Unless DH gets a teaching position in the next few weeks, I don't believe he's going to be able to take any time off of work. Where he works is a bit crazy--crazy schedule, crazy time, and they require their employees to work overtime on some of their days off. Knowing them, they may allow him to be there for the birth, but he will have to provide proof from the doctor or hospital that he was with me during that time.

DH gets up to two weeks paternity leave but his company are being a little antsy and may require him back after a week - we won't know nearer the time. But the plan is for him to take 2 weeks Paternity Leave and then a few holiday days on fridays so he has a longer weekend with LO once she's born.

If we end up going with the midwife and a different hospital to have our baby, then DH will be taking a few weeks off. So far, we're hoping to go to his parents' house for Christmas, and stay there til LO is born, so we could be there for a while. I'm working til early-mid December before I quit, and I won't be going back.
We're not entirely sure yet - it's going to depend really on DH's boss. He just started this job in June, and they know I'm pregnant but he's not eligible for Paid Family Leave yet. I'm hoping he can at least take a week off but it might be unpaid.
I'll have plenty of help around me for when he's at work but I know I won't get him for long. :(
My DH got two weeks paternity leave. It flew by! :-(
I would have absolutely loved more time, but I did feel like two weeks was a good amount of time.
My parents were staying with us that first week after LO was born and it was very nice having the help. Then we were on our own the second week. That family time with just the three of us was so, so nice. Now we have help again (his mom) in our third week since he just went back to work. This arrangement worked well for us!
DH is allowed six weeks paid family leave. He took the first week off and went back to work while I was off. Starting in June he takes Monday's off to watch Jada and but back on our daycare bill. It's really worked well on helping them bond :)
Due to unfortunate timing of job loss, my hubby was with us for the first 4 MONTHS!! It was truly amazing considering this will be our only baby and like posts above show, most other dads would never get that much time at home with their newborns. She had to be hospitalized 2days after we got home for jaundice, and I cannot even imagine if he had to go back to work right after that.
California dads can also get up to 3 weeks that first year for family bonding time at approximately 60% pay...they can take it all at once or split it up. (Same for moms too or do moms get 6? I forget!)

My dh's company paid him one week of paternity leave and then he took 2 weeks of vacation so we've gotten him for 3 weeks. He goes back on Saturday though so time has flown by! Once my 12 weeks is up and I go back to work, he's going to take his paid family leave so he'll have 6 weeks with our LO :)
Jackieg- both mom's and dad's get 6 weeks (or a certain amount of money) paid family leave in CA. We have a year to use it. Most moms use theirs right after the disability is up, which is what I did. As much as I can gripe about CA, this is one thing I am so thanful for!

Cheers guys (and any girls).
I have a 99 unit. When I first installed my box, I was pleased to find that I wasn't having to double press at all. Everything worked the first time from the steering wheel and HU. But then I noticed I wasn't getting text display. It turns out there is a switch on the unit that switches text on (only for 99-01 HUs perhaps?). With that on, I get text BUT I have to double press to change playlists and change tracks from the HU but from the steering wheel (which I use all the time anyway) it only takes 1 press. I have had a few other very minor issues with it but I'm very happy with the device.
tl;dr Double press isn't a big deal, but you can give up text display to fix it if it bothers you.

I used alternating blocks of a 9 patch and (what do you
call the block where you have four different fabrics. They
would be like a 4" block cut diagonally both ways so you
have four triangles meeting their points in the center of the block. Every time I use it I get compliments..it is

text: I switched a navigation unit in my 2004 ESV for 2005 one, which was easy, obviously. Took it to the dealer this morning, but they couldn't unlock it, claiming they had limited resourses on Saturday to find out why it doesn't unlock. Suggested to come back during weekdays. Also, the mechanic said he didn't think it would work at all because it is a different model ( in oppose to the older unit with joystick). I know it is an absolute BS and obviously he just didn't know how to do it, but what are my chances to encounter someone who does during the week? Is there anything else I should point out to them? Any suggestions or information on how to reprogram this unit? In mean time I get to be without a working radio entire weekend and I hate it.

If I bend fwd, u can see left side hanging down more than right side. And you can see my straight and bent view too. Do I look like I need a revision?

Reclamation Releases Low 2013 Water Allocation Estimates
Facing one of the driest combined Januarys and Februarys on record, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Feb. 25 released low 2013 water allocation estimates from the Central Valley Project.
Under Reclamation estimates, agricultural water service contractors south of the Delta will receive 25% of contracted supplies, municipal and industrial contractors south of the Delta and those north of the Delta served by Folsom Reservoir will receive 75% of their historic use, while municipal and industrial contractors north of the Delta served by Shasta Reservoir will receive an estimated 100% of their contracted supply.
Agricultural water service contractors north of the Delta are allocated 75% of their supply, while Sacramento River and San Joaquin River Exchange Settlement contractors will receive 100% of supply.
In a statement announcing the water allocations, Reclamation officials also cited pumping restrictions to protect Delta smelt in the south Delta as another reason for lower allocations.
"While we continue to hope for additional precipitation during the remainder of the rainy season, we are also continuing to work with our federal, state and local partners to improve this year's supply and to find a comprehensive, long-term solution that will achieve the dual goals of a reliable water supply for California and a healthy Bay Delta ecosystem that supports the state's economy," Reclamation Mid-Pacific Regional Director David Murillo stated in a press release.
Reclamation began the 2013 water year with 6.9 million acre-feet of carryover storage in six key CVP reservoirs, which is 98% of the 15-year average for Oct. 1. Storms in late November and December resulted in above-average snowpack conditions in Northern California and contributed to above-average storage in Shasta and Folsom Reservoirs. However, the relatively wet start to the water year was followed by one of the driest Januarys and Februarys on record.
The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) estimates that it will be able to deliver 40% of the slightly more than 4 million acre-feet of State Water Project (SWP) water requested this calendar year by the 29 public agencies that supply water to more than 25 million Californians.
DWR reports that snowpack and precipitation in the Sierra Nevada are below normal with snow water content at 70% of average for this time of year. DWR's February Water Year 2013 Runoff Forecast indicates a dry water year type for the Sacramento Valley and a critical water year type for the San Joaquin Valley.

A very smart move Kori. I like that Kori will have Nike pay for her final year at Stanford.
Ms. Carter has done everything that can be expected at the collegiate ranks and it seems like a win win decision for everyone except Stanford Track as Stanford will lose an incredible talent.

So! I'm currently doing my Agenda talk for SLUG and I've also finally
ported something to the Agenda!
It's DadaDodo, a markov sentence generator that
"analyses texts for word probabilities, and then generates random sentences based on that. Sometimes these sentences are nonsense; but sometimes they cut right through to the heart of the matter, and reveal hidden meanings."
according to its writer, Jamie Zawinski.
I should probably email him to let him know this, but all it took was a simple recompile :-)
I'll put it up on my homepage when I've finished this damned talk! Updates will come.

Andersen's Fairy Tales HTML version
The naughty boy, to shoot the old poet in that way; he who had taken him into his warm
room, who had treated him so kindly, and who had given him warm wine and the very best
The poor poet lay on the earth and wept, for the arrow had really flown into his heart.
"Fie!" said he. "How naughty a boy Cupid is! I will tell all children about him, that they
may take care and not play with him, for he will only cause them sorrow and many a
And all good children to whom he related this story, took great heed of this naughty Cupid;
but he made fools of them still, for he is astonishingly cunning. When the university
students come from the lectures, he runs beside them in a black coat, and with a book under
his arm. It is quite impossible for them to know him, and they walk along with him arm in
arm, as if he, too, were a student like themselves; and then, unperceived, he thrusts an
arrow to their bosom. When the young maidens come from being examined by the
clergyman, or go to church to be confirmed, there he is again close behind them. Yes, he is
forever following people. At the play, he sits in the great chandelier and burns in bright
flames, so that people think it is really a flame, but they soon discover it is something else.
He roves about in the garden of the palace and upon the ramparts: yes, once he even shot
your father and mother right in the heart. Ask them only and you will hear what they'll tell
you. Oh, he is a naughty boy, that Cupid; you must never have anything to do with him. He
is forever running after everybody. Only think, he shot an arrow once at your old
grandmother! But that is a long time ago, and it is all past now; however, a thing of that
sort she never forgets. Fie, naughty Cupid! But now you know him, and you know, too,
how ill-behaved he is!

Drinking your meals sounds like heaven for some, and hell for others -- but Julie McClure is on a mission to convince either side that it's exactly what they need.
Benourished, McClure's company, is in the business of nutritional cleanses, offering up a variety of meal options to fulfil people's daily caloric intakes. While there are salads and snacks available, the big push is for juice cleanses, a trend that has not been without its controversy.
Medical professionals against the practice emphasize the body's natural cleansing systems and insist there's no reason to try out these regimens -- particularly if they're being used as dieting tactics.
The Master Cleanse, a program based on a book published in the 1940s, is the one often discussed in reference to juice cleanses. It has also, however, added to the controversy, given its focus on laxatives and one juice consisting of lemonade and cayenne pepper.
From McClure's perspective, however, cleanses are less about weight loss, which comes mostly from losing water weight, and much more about nutrition.
"Our philosophy is to give your digestive system a break for a few days," she explains. "Particularly with the standard North American diet, people are eating foods that irritate the body. So we just want to flood you with nutrients in a very clean diet so that more of your energy can be dedicated to your repair and catching up."
The company offers programs of all-juice or juice and food combinations, ranging from two days to a full week. The juices are hydraulically pressed for maximum nutritional value, and include products with names like Zesty Lemonade juice (for better circulation) and Maca Magic snack bar (to balance energy without caffine).
SEE: 10 of the most cleansing ingredients for your system included in Benourished's products. Story continues below:
Maple syrup, found in Benourished's Almond Bliss juice, contains manganese and zinc, which are good enzymes for detoxification and help the immune system immensely. Zinc can help prevent against damage caused by LDL cholesterol, while manganese assists with antioxidant defenses.
Ginger is known for being a great solution to nausea, but it's also included in cleansing juices thanks to its stimulation of the digestive tract. The root, in any of its form, can help move things out of the intestines, as well as aid in gas pains.
They're the colour of the blood, and that's no coincidence -- beets are used by athletes as a post-recovery juice because they're great for red blood cells, thanks to being a rich source of vegetarian iron. It's also great for liver detoxification. But watch for beeturia, which occurs in 15% of the population. It's harmless, but can turn urine or feces pink or red -- so it can be a little scary to see in the washroom.
Julie McClure, owner of Benourished, is a believer in chlorophyll as an energy booster. She tends to rely on Swiss chard, as well as other leafy greens, for its high 'dosage.'
Pineapple is multi-purpose in its usefulness. It's anti-inflammatory in nature, which helps during cleanses, but the bromelain found in the fruit and the stem specifically helps with digestion by breaking down proteins. The vitamin C found in pineapple also helps the immune system.
Aloe vera may best be known as a healer when it comes to sunburns, but few people know that when ingested, it's also a laxative, albeit a gentle one. It helps cleanse food 'residue' from the digestive tract to help it work more efficiently.
"Camu-camu berry is what they call a superfood," explains McClure. "It's a berry that's said to be one of the richest sources of vitamin C. One of the things I've seen quoted in terms of the berry is that one berry can have 30 to 60 times the amount of vitamin C as an orange."
To replace the caffeine people usually get in coffee, McClure adds a white tea to their plan. White tea is the highest tea in antioxidants, and McClure makes sure to use an organic option, as tea is one of most sprayed crops. She notes green tea is also great for detoxing.
This root vegetable from Peru is considered an adaptogen for helping balance energy levels in the body -- doctors have found that the nutrients within it help the endocrine system, the adrenal glands and the thyroid, as well as regulating the metabolism and boosting energy levels.
Cinnamon is the sweetest thing to happen to flavourings -- after all, it literally makes things taste better, it helps with blood sugar regulation, and it's a carminative, which helps with bloating.
Side effects on the first or second day of a cleanse can include headaches, symptoms of a cold and low energy, and some people have complained of nausea. But the benefits, McClure notes, include feeling less bloated, feeling generally lighter, brighter eyes, glowing skin, and better sleep.
"Sleep's been a big one," she says. "I think you're taking out a lot of the stimulants and it's very clean eating, so you sleep soundly."
For those diving into the cleanse, she recommends phasing out dairy, meat, eggs, gluten, refined sugars, alcohol, coffee, corn and soy beforehand -- the major allergens McClure says irritate the digestive system.
Though McClure says none of her clients have had adverse reactions to the cleanse, she does warn against those who are pregnant, breast-feeding, have a compromised immune system or have diabetes doing a cleanse. And she tells all clients to let their GPs know about any changes in diet.
McClure, who studied naturopathic medicine and credits nutrition with helping her get over a chronic migraine condition, stresses the importance of changing your diet slowly. "Even adding a Green Alkalizer juice [based on leafy greens] to your normal diet is a major step forward if you're used to a lot of processed foods."

I carry a glock 19 on daily basis. I'm not saying that itis my favorite gun but the accessories and holsters selections make it my preference. My favorite thing about the glocks though is that the are no safeties that have to be flipped on and off. This defers some people from purchasing glocks. But if your carrying a pistol for self defense and it's time for the gun to get loud there's a pretty good chance your gonna forget about that safety. Same thing with backstraps and thumb/finger breaks on holsters. Now with this urban myth of stopping power, a 9mm, .40, .45, etc. All are pretty close for penetration according to ballistics. You get into the whole weight to power calculations. A heavier load requires more powder to go roughly the same distance and penetrate as deep as the smaller loads. With the smaller caliber gun and same length grip you carry that many more round. Also if you carry daily spend some money on a quality holster and throw uncle mikes and the serpa holsters in the garbage. Five basic rules of a holster.......made to fit the gun, retention is done ofoff the gun (no snap straps or thumb/finger breaks), stays open after the gun is drawn, covers the trigger, and allows a full firing grip on the gun.

The first new Tolkien novel in 30 years will be published next month.
In a move eagerly awaited by millions of fans, The Children of Hurin will be released worldwide on April 17, 89 years after the author started the work and four years after the final cinematic instalment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, one of the biggest box office successes in history.
The book, whose contents are being jealously guarded by publisher HarperCollins, is described as "an epic story of adventure, tragedy, fellowship and heroism".
It is likely to be a publishing sensation, particularly as it is illustrated by veteran Middle-earth artist Alan Lee, who won an Oscar for art direction on Peter Jackson's third film, The Return of The King.
Lee provided 25 pencil sketches and eight paintings for the first edition of the book.
Tolkien experts are already tipping The Children of Hurin - which features significant battle scenes and at least one big twist - for big-budget Hollywood treatment. Box-office takings from the Lord of the Rings trilogy to date are $4 billion or more.
Chris Crawshaw, chairman of the Tolkien Society, said: "It would probably make a very good movie, if anyone can secure the film rights.
"Tolkien saw his work as one long history of Middle-earth: from the beginning of creation to the end of the Third Age. The Children of Hurin is an early chapter in that bigger story."
Christopher Tolkien, using his late father's voluminous notes, has painstakingly completed the book, left unfinished by the author when he died in 1971.
The work has taken the best part of three decades, and will signify the first "new" Tolkien book since The Silmarillion was published posthumously in 1977.
"It will be interesting to see how it stands up today alongside all the Tolkien-like literature that we've become familiar with," said David Bradley, editor of SFX magazine.

"It's the end of something beautiful for me." — Ivan Ljubicic
To say that Ivan Ljubicic, who retired earlier this week, was one of the most limited players to ever reach number three in the world might initially sound like a disparaging remark.
In reality though, it is actually a compliment; because despite not having the raw, natural ability that some of the game's true greats were blessed with, the likeable Croat managed to reach the game's top tier through sheer application and hard work.
He might have been a bit too reliant on his serve and he didn't quite have the reaction speed or fluidity of a Federer or a Djokovic, but he always came out to play, and his consistency and determination ensured he chiselled out quite the career.
While many other players will look back on their years in the game and think to themselves: 'If I only worked a little harder on the practice court, if only I developed this shot or that shot or raised my game in this tournament, I might have achieved so much more,' Ljubicic can look back on a career where he won 10 titles and earned over $10 million and say to himself: 'You know what? I did okay.'
It was in 2006 that Ljubicic reached number three in the world, helped by his two best Grand Slam performances — a quarter-final appearance in Australia and a run to the semis at Roland Garros.
However, his two stand-out career highlights came elsewhere — first in 2005, when he was the catalyst for Croatia's surprising run to Davis Cup glory and then five years later, when, despite seemingly being a spent force, he produced a miraculous 10 days to win the Indian Wells title.
During the 2005 Davis Cup season, Ljubicic played two singles rubbers and in the doubles in all four of his country's victories - finishing with a magnificent 11-1 record.
In the first round against the USA, he managed to beat Andre Agassi in straight sets, then teamed up with Mario Ancic to beat the Bryan Brothers in the doubles. It was the first time the brothers had ever been beaten in Davis Cup play and they have only lost one other match since.
Then Ljubicic beat Andy Roddick, who he had a frosty off-court relationship ever since a US Open clash back in 2003 when the Croat was unhappy with the American's behaviour, in five epic sets to set Croatia on their way for their fairytale run.
Ljubicic was perfect in the quarter-final against Romania and then again in the semis against Russia, and his only defeat of the whole Davis Cup run came in the final against Slovakia when, after winning his first singles match and the doubles, he fell in five sets against Dominik Hrbaty in a truly thrilling contest in Bratislava.
Even in defeat, Ljubicic played his part in a match for the ages, as both he and Hrbaty managed to play way above their usual levels in a classic encounter.
Ljubicic's career seemed to be winding down when he arrived at Indian Wells for the 2010 edition of the prestigious Masters event, but everything clicked during an incredible week when he beat both Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal on his way to the final; once there he again disposed of old rival Andy Roddick to become the oldest ever first-time winner of a Masters event at 31.
"I had my problems, like everybody else," said Ljubicic after that victory. The previous summer he had dropped outside of the world's top 50 and this was his first victory in four attempts in a Masters final.
"Looking at my career, I did feel like I was missing (a Masters title). It's really a fantastic feeling to finally have it. It gives something special to your career."
It was one of the most popular victories on the ATP Tour in recent years, and not just with fans, but with the players too who appreciated Ljubicic's work on the ATP Player Council where he had previously served as president.
He is also a keen supporter of the Special Olympics movement and was awarded both the ATP Arthur Ashe Humanitarian of Year in 2007 and the ATP Aces for Charity grant in 2011 for his work with them.
He decided to retire in Monte Carlo because that is where he now calls home with his wife Aida, his three-year-old son Leonardo and their five-month old baby girl Zara.
Due to his fantastic tennis career he has set his family up for life. He may not have won any Grand Slams and he might not be revered by casual tennis fans in 20 years time but the boy done good, and in his way, you could say he did great.
After being knocked out early in Monte Carlo — Ljubicic can sit back and enjoy the action in the rich-boys' playground. The latest Masters event sees the clay court season start in earnest and we talked to both Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray this week about their plans for the red dirt. See what they said in the video below.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "I think this is the first time that I'm not happy to win the match... All players like me, like Mario Ancic, we learnt from him," Ivan Dodig admits he felt like the guy who shot Bambi's mother after ending countryman Ljubicic's career in Monte Carlo.
TWEET OF THE WEEK: "Nice chilled night with @McIlroyRory, take away and a movie.. :)" — Caroline Wozniacki. All together now….one, two, three….awwwwwww! *Pass me the sick bucket*

Reviews for Moist Chocolate Chip Date Cake
"The recipe calls for too many chocolate chips. I would not use more that half a cup of chocolate chips with the half cup of chopped nuts sprinkled on top. I would not use the half cup of sugar as it's way too sweet. I could not get the cake to bake completely done. I have never had trouble baking a cake but this one just was not good. My husband is a chocolate lover but even he said there was way too much. I won't make this cake again."
"My reserve of the 1/2 cup of sugar, I use Confectioner's Sugar as this recipe is the exact from my mom as when I was a kid. However, rather than sprinkle with sugar, we would sift over with powdered sugar after cooled so won't soak in to hot chocolate chips. Looks nicer that way too. I also used Walnuts which were great and again as my mom had in her recipe."
"very good"
"Yummy! I used walnuts instead of pecans and I served it with whipped topping. It was very good that way."

Trick-or-Treating at Stoneridge?

Most of their kid events are now done through their kid's club, Kidgits. On that website (Web Link) it says that some stores will be distributing candy. It also has a list of events.

While I applaud the mall for offering such events, the nostalgic part of me longs for the days where kids flooded the streets running from house to house long into the night unsupervised. Understandably this was acceptable as all the parents in the neighborhood looked out for all of the kids (not just their own), where as today we're lucky if we know our surrounding neighbors. A different time....and I don't blame parents today for not allowing their kids to run through the streets on their own, I know I wouldn't let mine out alone.

Some know our neighbors and neighborhood kids and don't live in fear. Razor blades in apples? Yea, they said the same things as they do now 30 years ago. It was better 30 years ago is the mantra. Groups of kids still run around my house and parents uselly only arrive with the very young and kids that aren't trick or treating with a group of friends. I think they are there to enjoy the cuteness not as much for protection.

When I was a kid it was weird to trick-or-treat past 11 or 12 years old! My kids are older than that and still want to do it. The high schooler has gone on her own for a couple of years, but always in a group. My middle schooler has gone in a group & I have accompanied them - as said above, more for my own interest than concern for safety. I feel safe here, but always insist that my kids check their candy before consuming it. The same as when I was a kid: no home made treats or open stuff unless it's from friends.

Lights On at the Met
The Metropolitan Opera has managed to win its race with Santa Claus. Hard as it is to believe after all the breakthroughs that broke down, the last of the union holdouts and the negotiators representing the opera have staggered to the finish line of a dispute that almost killed both the season and the Met itself. The gala opening is now set for Dec. 29, two and a half months late.

There were a number of people standing in front of the former Wendy's on Beach Channel Drive at Beach 112 Street last week, staring at the building and wondering what happened. Wendy's is gone from Rockaway, closed in a heartbeat with no notice and little fanfare. We wonder what will happen to the building now. Once a Nathan's, it has been a fast food Mecca for some time. An Applebee's would be nice, or perhaps an International House of Pancakes, someplace to have breakfast or a quick meal. Unfortunately, if history is any measure, it will become a nail salon or a bank. We'll have to wait and see.
The arrest of State Senator Shirley Huntley last week on charges of falsifying paperwork and conspiracy came as no surprise in the Wave newsroom. We have been working that story since May of last year and were just waiting for the investigation to be complete and for the other shoe to drop. We suggest to the attorney general that State Senator Malcolm Smith, whose transgressions are probably worse that Huntley's, would be a proper future target.
Rockaway Beach took a double hit at the beginning of this school year. While the situation is probably not as bad as predicted by some locals who think the world as we know it has come to an end, there still should be a way for locals to have a say before institutions that impact that community are put in place. While the new special education school, the Martin de Porres school, has moved into the former home of Stella Maris High School, it is really just a traditional special education high school. Most of its students will be brought in by bus and van and they will have little interaction with the community – at least that's what education officials say. The new unit at the St. John's Residence for Boys is another issue. That will be a "Non-Secure Detention Program" for a dozen teens who are going through the justice system for committing criminal acts and who, the court has judged, can no longer live in their home communities. Not a good group to have around. A little more than a year ago, a Rockaway man working at a similar program run by St. John's in Queens was brutally attacked by a resident as he drove the teen to court. The city should have at least notified the community and asked for comment prior to moving such a program onto the peninsula. With great fanfare late last week, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced – drumroll–the most popular baby names of the past year. We assume that in the near future he will work to ban some of the names for being dangerous to growing children. In any case, the top three girl's names are Isabella, Sophia and Olivia. The most popular boy's names: Jayden, Jacob and Ethan. More traditional names, such as David, Michael, and Emma were way down the list.
Don't forget the primary elections to be held on September 13. In the west end, there are two Republicans vying for the party nod for the State Senate seat – City Councilman Eric Ulrich and attorney Juan Reyes. In the east end, the Democratic primary for the State Senate includes Shirley Huntley, the incumbent who was arrested last week; City Councilman James Sanders Jr.; and activist Jian Jones. The general election will be in November. It might surprise some that primary day is not on a traditional Tuesday. This year, Tuesday is September 11, which has become a holiday – Patriots Day – in many venues. So, the primary was moved two days to Thursday, September 13.
Not to be outdone by the Daily News series about the new food establishments along the boardwalk, the New York Times last week ran a long piece about the food establishments along the Bayfront – The Wharf, Bungalow Bar, Thai Rock and others. The piece says that the food might not be great, but the view is perfect, with a sweep that goes from the Gil Hodges Memorial Marine Parkway Bridge to John F. Kennedy Airport and the Cross Bay Bridge. It is one of the best views in the city, especially as the sun comes down on a hot summer night.
Despite the fact that Mayor Michael Bloomberg continues to crow that the schools are now the best and safest in the city's history, statistics that were released late last week show that school violence has hit an all-time high since records have been kept on events such as fights, crimes in the school and other incidents. Assaults have doubled since 2009. Assaults with a weapon have also doubled and drug possession busts have gone up 50 percent. Instances of bullying have doubled despite a much-ballyhooed plan to stop it. What is the mayor's response? The DOE has issued a plan that would make it harder to discipline students for a major offense, installing a plan for having kids serve detention during lunch rather than being suspended. You can't make stuff like this up.
Now that the Parks Department has the money and permission from the state to move the sand piles from the west end, where they have been for nearly a year, to where they are needed to protect the boardwalk further east, locals are starting to wonder why the sand has not been moved. The fact is, we are in another hurricane season and a small storm could damage the boardwalk and wipe away all the work that was done since Hurricane Irene.
