Nice appartment, good tram connection with the center of town. The host was very kind to allow us leave our lagage for some haurs after check out.
Lovely place! We enjoyed our 2 nights stay and wished stay more in Florence for some reasons, one of them was this apartment. The hosts are kind and prepared everything at the place, prepared some useful notes, and describing all of them in details in person again. The only problem in our stay was internet, which was very low speed at beginning, and then stopped later on (maybe our bad luck, maybe not). But the other things were perfect. HIGHLY recommended
Nice apartment. Foodstore not far from the apartment (coop). Easy to reach the center of town by tram or walking. The internetsignals were weak most of the time.
We loved the apartment. The view was amazing. Public transportantion was just arround the corner, 5 Tram stops to Florenz Downtown. Very clean and cuzy.
Beautiful Arts in every room and well equiped. Thank you.
Clean and nicely cut apartment with a view plus there is a tram station and a supermarket nearby and you reach the city in no time.
Thanks, cheers!
Beautiful apartment, conveniently located with a 10 minute tram ride from the city centre. Hosts were considerate and very accommodating.
Très bon accueil, quartier calme avec appartement superbe et vue imprenable sur Florence et le Duomo. Un séjour inoubliable au niveau de l'ambiance du nouvel An et ses nombreux feux d'artifice !
Centre ville accessible à pied ou par tramway au pied de l'immeuble.
Peu de difficulté pour se garer, nous avons toujours trouvé une place à proximité.
Le grand PLUS a été de pouvoir voyager accompagnés de notre petite Jack Russell qui a été acceptée dans le logement mais également dans les magasins et les bars ce dont nous n'avons pas du tout l'habitude en France.
L'appartamento ha superato le nostre aspettative. Peccato che il nostro soggiorno era solamente di un paio di giorni. Lo terrò in considerazione nuovamente se andrò a Firenze.
Il centro è raggiungibile davvero in 5 minuti e nei dintorni si hanno tutte comodità più necessarie.
Wir verbrachten eine Monat im CasadArte und waren rundum zufrieden.Die geräumige, sehr gepflegte Wohnung ist ausgestattet mit wunderschönen Bildern von Herrn Bosi. Sie sind eine Augenweide. Die grosse Küche lädt zum kochen und Verweilen ein, was wir auch augiebig taten. Die kleinen Läden und der nicht weit entfernte tägliche Gemüse u. Früchtmarkt hatten es uns angetan, vor allem weil Porciinizeit war.Von unseren zwei Balkonen aus konnten wir bis hin zum Dom blicken und auf der anderen Seite auf die wunderschönen Pinien und Parkanlage. Hinüber zum Tram sind es keine 2 Minten und in 10 Minten ist man mitten im Getümmel. Frau Sivlia Bosi hat uns am ersten Tag gut eingeführt, sodass wir uns von Anfang an wohl fühlten. Wir hoffen in nicht allzuferner Zeit wieder die Gastfreundschaft von CasdArte Bosi in Anspruch nehmen zu dürfen.

How do I get an older cat more used to a young kitten?
I recently got a six week old kitten named Socko and the other two cats are just being nothing but nasty! They hiss and growl, and not only that, but the three year old is also being mean and nasty to the people! What should I do to fix this? Is there a way?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
A 6 week old kitten is VERY young to be separated from her mom. You might need to keep this kitten in a room by herself until she gets a litte older and socialized. Your resident kitties are upset by this newcomer and this is why the 3 year old is being nasty. I would strongly suggest that for the time being, you separate the baby from the rest of the population. After a while, you can let the baby out into the house and let the residents into "her" room to familiarize themselves with her scent. You will have to work at these introductions. Trust me, you cannot just let the baby out into the general population of your kitties. Ask your vet for more pointers on how to make this successful!

EU Commission Backs Chemical Bill Compromise
Date: 16-Nov-05
Country: FRANCE
Author: Jeff Mason
The draft bill on Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals (REACH) is scheduled for a vote in the European Parliament on Thursday after years of haggling and debate.
REACH is designed to protect people from the adverse effects of chemicals found in a wide range of products such as paint, detergents, cars and computers.
In the drive to get approval in the EU legislature, key political groups agreed last week on changes to reduce the number of substances in the low-tonnage category that would require tests.
"The Commission decided in favour of this compromise," Industry Commissioner Guenter Verheugen told lawmakers.
"We think that this compromise strikes a very good balance between the competitiveness, health and environment goals."
Environmentalists said the compromise went too far in accommodating industry's demands and weakened the bill.
Support from the EU's executive Commission, the original author of the bill with powers to accept or reject amendments, is crucial for REACH to move on in the EU legislative process.
The low-tonnage category applies to chemicals that are produced or imported in amounts of between 1 and 10 tonnes a year, estimated to be between 17,500 and 20,000 substances.
The package is expected to get broad support in a vote scheduled for Thursday despite dissent from the Greens party, which tabled a counter proposal.
Chemical makers would have to register the properties of substances with a central EU database. Those of highest concern, such as carcinogens, would require authorisation to be used.
The council of EU member states is debating its own version of REACH. Germany, which has Europe's largest chemical industry, succeeded in delaying a decision among member states scheduled for later this month, but Britain still plans to obtain a deal before its presidency concludes at the end of 2005.
"We recognise we are very close to a deal and we still intend to achieve political agreement before the end of the UK presidency," Willy Bach, a minister in Britain's Department of Environment, told lawmakers.
Verheugen said he hoped the outcome in parliament would spur member states to complete their position this year, too.
"I hope that this package will encourage the Council to adopt REACH still this year," he said, adding he thought there was a good chance it would be wrapped up by the end of 2005.
There are still outstanding issues, however. No agreement has been reached among lawmakers on the issue of mandatory substitution for hazardous chemicals, and the amount of animal testing required by REACH remains a divisive subject.
Environmental group Greenpeace said the compromise had diluted the bill.
"We are quite disappointed that the Commission is willing to water down and accept a watered down version of its proposal that will not give sufficient safety data on most chemicals covered by REACH," said Greenpeace policy officer Nadia Haiama.
She said she welcomed, however, signals that the Commission would support amendments that would require substitution of hazardous chemicals if alternatives exist.
Verheugen told lawmakers he did not feel REACH had been weakened or watered down.

After breakfast we walk along the sea front and sea a few turtles that are feeding off the discarded fish that the fishermen are chucking our board. We then stroll along the pedestrianised shopping are as w are searching for a road atlas for Greece mainland....so far without success!

Today we head to the Lixouri peninsular. To begin with we use the same coat road as ŵe did yesterday and are still impressed.

We head to Fiskardo which is the most northerly point on Kefalonia. Once again great scenery, particularly on the coast road between Argosteli and Myrtos Beach. Fiskardo is an interesting little town but again the same sort of design and colour houses as everywhere else on the island.

New Hanover Regional Medical Center's role in the community goes beyond taking care of those who walk through its doors. As the region's largest provider of health care, the hospital not only takes care of all, regardless of ability to pay, but leads efforts to improve health throughout the region, often in the form of preventive services offered at no charge. The hospital is also the area's largest employer and significantly affects the economy of the area and the livelihoods of thousands of people who make this region home.
New Hanover Regional Medical Center's commitment to care and the community is evident in its quality, depth of services, and the financial stability that has preserved jobs in unstable
times. This pivotal role is made possible through the work of a volunteer board of trustees, staff, volunteers, and physicians.

The body of slain protester, Salah Abbas, was laid to rest in Bahrain on Monday, the day after the controversial Formula One grand prix event wound down. Thousands turned out to pay their respects and chant anti-government slogans. With the funeral complete, many mourners attempted to reach the 'Lulu' roundabout, a focal point for Bahrain's protests in 2011, but were driven back by tear gas and a heavy police presence.
Thousands took to the streets on Monday to mourn the protester shot and killed amid security clampdowns during the Formula One Grand Prix in Bahrain over the weekend. His body was only released on Monday to relatives.
Birds eye view of the funeral march now in Salhiya #MartytSalah http://t.co/l3t7t70F
The crowd at the funeral stretched through the streets of Salhiya, a suburb west of central Manama, and just south of the iconic site of the Pearl Roundabout, also known as the 'Lulu' roundabout.

The death certificate says that his death was caused by shotgun wounds. In their inspection of the body (link here but be warned – GRAPHIC images) it's clear that he sustained a shotgun wound in the back from very close range, with the pellets barely having time to spread.

The Al Wefaq society received the body of Salah Abbas on Monday, and published a report on the injuries observed. The photos of his body are too graphic for us to publish here.
The body of the martyr Salah Abbas was received today and was examined by Al Wefaq and some lawyers and doctor who were present in the morgue, findings revealed:
1) Neck fracture
2) Birdshots pellets in the left side of the flank, more towards the back ( most probably from short distance).
3) Birdshot pellets at the back of left foot.
4) Bruises in the right hand.
5) Bruises in the left leg.
6) Severe burns in the chest and abdomen.

My Retirement Education Center Takes Social Security Optimization Classes on the Road
Local Financial Planner Announces Statewide 2013 Tour Offering Social Security Classes to Help All North Carolinians Understand and Make the Best Decisions on How and When to File for Benefits
The class provides a basic overview of Social Security fundamentals, such as how it works as part of a complete retirement income plan, how to integrate a spouse's income and how to manage cash flow to accommodate times before starting to receive benefits. Additionally, the Social Security Optimization class provides each participant with a detailed analysis of their personal situation, including consideration of every available option. In the end, every participant gets a definitive answer on when to file to get the highest benefit and what forms need to be completed by what dates to do so.
"In Social Security, there are no do-overs," said Steve Gaito, founder and director of My Retirement Education Center. "You have one opportunity to decide how and when to elect your benefits, and making the wrong decision could mean the difference of hundreds of thousands of dollars in income for your retirement. Because people don't have all the facts, only 1 to 2 percent of Americans elect the maximum Social Security benefit, while more than 45 percent elect the minimum. That shouldn't be the case and I want to help by educating people on their options."
Gaito is a Certified Financial PlannerTM (CFP®) practitioner with nearly 20 years of experience helping individuals, companies and nonprofits prepare for their financial futures. He started My Retirement Education Center in early 2012 as a resource for Triangle-area residents of all ages and financial backgrounds to learn about the basics of retirement planning so they can feel confident in their decisions when navigating what can be a confusing and complicated process.
The statewide My Retirement Education Center tour will kick off in January 2013 with classes in Pittsboro/Siler City, Smithfield, Selma, Wilson, Clayton, Goldsboro, Chapel Hill and Elon, among others. Each one-hour Social Security Optimization class will cost $50 for a couple or an individual. To see the full schedule of classes or register online, visit http://www.myretirement-

Dangerous LoveMature
Sarah Mitchell is an ordinary girl with an extraordinary power to fall in love with strangers. After having met a strange man on the corner of Camilla and 52nd, she falls madly in love with him as usual. It's not long until she finds herself in his apartment eating lunch and taking photographs of herself for his pleasure. How long will will she remain infatuated with him and will he allow her to leave when her little "fling" is over?
Chapter One
Bright and early, Sarah Mitchell woke up to set out on her daily walking routine around the neighborhood. It was a crisp, spring morning and dew from the grass flirted with her ankles.
Not even two blocks in, she caught a glimpse of the most handsome man she had ever seen a block away. Quickening her pace, she found herself behind him.
"Hi. You must be new in the neighborhood. We haven't met yet. I'm Sarah Mitchell," she said with confidence, something she didn't usually possess.
He stared her from head to toe before replying. "No. I'm not from around here. I was just visiting the area," he said not wanting to reveal anything more.
She wasn't satisfied not knowing more information. She just wanted to know the basics at least. "So, what's your name?"
"Tony Bryce," he said. He spoke in a smooth tone and appeared to be calm and collected.
This is definitely my beau-to-be, she thought. "Hey, if you're not too busy, do you want to stop by at the coffee shop? It's only two blocks away. I mean, if you're not doing anything now." Is this a little too fast? Nahh. I'll give it a shot. If it doesn't work out, I'll only be broken-hearted.
"I'm a little busy now. Why don't I give you my number and you can call and cash in that coffee rain check later." It was a statement, not a question. No room for discussion. He pulled out his card which was located handy in his left pocket. He wrote his address on the back.
"Thanks. I'll call you later," she said and they parted ways: she followed the block around to go back home and he kept going straight. She watched him until he was no longer visible. Then, she ran home to make a very important call.
"Amy! You will not believe who I just ran into!" she said over the phone.
"Oh, who?" Amy said in her normal, diluted voice.
"Tony Bryce." She waited for a response of familiarity, but of course, none came. She continued, "Oh, you know. Tony."
"No, Sarah. Where do I know him from again? The name does sound familiar."
"Oh, from around. Maybe in the neighborhood." She wanted more information about this man. He intrigued her. When she was talking with him, her arm hairs pricked up. That had to be a sign of true love. It had to be.
"No, sorry, dear. I don't know any Tony Bryce from the neighborhood. How long have you known him?" Amy said.
"A whole twenty minutes! I think I'm in love." An audible sigh was heard from the opposite side of the receiver.
"Sarah, what did you do?" Amy said with concern.
"Nothing. We had a chat while I was on my morning walk. I asked him..." she stopped after being interrupted, another sign that she was in love.
"You WHAT?! Is he at your house now? Sarah, I swear. I'm going to lock you in a cage one of these days."
"No. No. Calm down. I asked him if he wanted coffee. Come on. It's coffee. No harm in that. Besides, he couldn't go right then, so he gave me his card instead."
She took it out from her pockets and examined it. Reading it with more care, she noticed he was a doctor.
"Amy, he's a doctor. Doctors are responsible and respectable people in society. What's wrong with a little bit of fun? You need to spice up your life more. Let loose. Have a little fun." She knew she hit a bad note there when there wasn't an immediate answer. "You know what I mean, doll. You work in your office day and night. You never see me anymore," she pouted knowing full well that never works with Amy.
"Sarah, I have plenty of fun and I see you everyday. It's been ten hours since I was at your house. We can plan a fun weekend tonight after work, okay?"
"Oh, yay! A fun weekend. I think we both need it. We've been working too hard. I'll plan everything. You just sit back and relax. I'll talk to you later!" she hung up.
"See you," Amy said to the dial tone on the phone.

Texarkana Animal League
on Facebook
Who We Are...
Texarkana Animal League (TAL) is a group of volunteers that is dedicated to improving the welfare of animals in our shelter & the community. Although we are no longer involved in the day to day operations of running a facility, our mission has not changed:
The Texarkana Animal League exists to provide protection and care for abandoned, abused, neglected and unwanted companion animals. We also want to promote animal welfare through programs and services that mutually benefit animals and people.
All proceeds will benefit animal care and adoptions, and will assist with our new community outreach programs such as a low-income spay/neuter assistance program, as well as educational and service projects to assist TAL's belief that all animals are deserving of life, respect and care. In 2008, over 2200 shelter animals received vaccinations & vet care from funds raised and we will continue to provide the same care to shelter animals this year. In 2009, we anticipate altering at least 250 animals in the community with the Spay/Neuter Assistance Program and funding an in-house spay/neuter clinic at the Animal Care & Adoption Center of Texarkana that will alter shelter animals prior to adoption.
Adopting a friend...
Everyone wishing to adopt an animal must complete an adoption application. This application asks for general information about the adopter, adopter's family, other current and prior pets and previous veterinary care. We hold monthly adoption events at the Texarkana PetSmart Store inside Richmond Ranch. Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you are interested in one of our animals or have any questions about our organization.

New NASA Data Blow Gaping Hole In Global Warming Alarmism
New NASA Data Blow Gaping Hole In Global Warming Alarmism
NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.
Study co-author Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and U.S. Science Team Leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA's Aqua satellite, reports that real-world data from NASA's Terra satellite contradict multiple assumptions fed into alarmist computer models.
"The satellite observations suggest there is much more energy lost to space during and after warming than the climate models show," Spencer said in a July 26 University of Alabama press release. "There is a huge discrepancy between the data and the forecasts that is especially big over the oceans."
In addition to finding that far less heat is being trapped than alarmist computer models have predicted, the NASA satellite data show the atmosphere begins shedding heat into space long before United Nations computer models predicted.
APNewsBreak: Arctic scientist under investigation
Just five years ago, Charles Monnett was one of the scientists whose observation that several polar bears had drowned in the Arctic Ocean helped galvanize the global warming movement.
Now, the wildlife biologist is on administrative leave and facing accusations of scientific misconduct.
The federal agency where he works told him he was on leave pending the results of an investigation into "integrity issues." A watchdog group believes it has to do with the 2006 journal article about the bear, but a source familiar with the investigation said late Thursday that placing Monnett on leave had nothing to with scientific integrity or the article.
"I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine."

So NASA data is dispelling global warming and in turn threatening the growing "green" industry? Now I know why NASA was defunded...

What has been happening over this past fortnight at the All England Lawn and Tennis Club has been magical for Canadian Tennis.
What Eugenie Bouchard and Milos Raonic are doing at Wimbledon is truly historic, but what they are also doing is what other Canadians in other sports have done previously…they are inspiring future generations.
Like Rocket Richard in his era, Bobby Orr in his and of course Gretzky not only in Canada but in California, Bouchard and Raonic's play not only over the past two weeks but over the past calendar year is starting to turn people on to tennis.
Steve Nash has done it in basketball. Larry Walker, Eric Gagne and now Brett Lawrie have done it in baseball. Hayley Wickenheiser in Women's Hockey…you get the picture. Canadians are a funny bunch. We know that we can succeed, but many times, we are only compelled when we see one of our own succeed at the highest level.
As a golfer, I grew up watching Jack Nicklaus, but one of the more exciting moments for me as a golf fan wasn't watching the Golden Bear's amazing run at the 86 Masters…it was watching Canada's Mike Weir slip on the Green Jacket in 2003.
You can now look at the number of Canadian golfers that Weir's success has spearheaded, and you realize that Bouchard and Raonic aren't at the pinnacle of their success here at Wimbledon, they are just beginning.
With these two young Canadian tennis stars just entering the spotlight, their successes will inspire a generation of kids who may just be old enough to get into sports to grab a racket and give tennis a try…the next Bouchard or Raonic will spawn from this new level of excellence, and the inspiration that these two athletes have given their country will be to thank for that.

|Hot Stove: Eric Chavez to sign with Diamondbacks
|12.05.12 at 2:42 pm ET
According to multiple reports, the Diamondbacks and infielder Eric Chavez have agreed to terms, with Jack Magruder of FoxSportsArizona.com tweeting that the contract is for one year and $3 million.
The Red Sox were believed to have interest in the soon-to-be 35-year-old, who hit .281/.348/.496 with 16 homers and 37 RBI last season for the Yankees.
|Hot Stove: Red Sox, Yankees could compete for Eric Chavez
|12.04.12 at 8:24 pm ET
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — With four free agent signings now in the books, here's how the Red Sox roster looks:
C: David Ross – RH
C: Jarrod Saltalamacchia (SH) or Ryan Lavarnway (RH)
1B: Mike Napoli – RH
2B: Dustin Pedroia – RH
3B: Will Middlebrooks – RH
SS: Jose Iglesias (or free agent) – RH
LF: Jonny Gomes – RH vs. LHP
LF: Ryan Kalish (LH) or Daniel Nava (SH) vs. RHP
CF: Jacoby Ellsbury (LH)
RF: Shane Victorino
DH: David Ortiz (LH)
UT (2B, 3B, SS): Pedro Ciriaco (RH)
That's 12 roster spots for position players that seem fairly well defined, barring a trade. With the remaining spot, GM Ben Cherington suggested that he'd like to add a first baseman who can also play an additional position of positions. Given the right-handed tilt of the lineup, the team would likely also want a player who could rake against right-handers.
Enter Eric Chavez.
Chavez, who turns 35 this week, was an outstanding contributor for the Yankees in 2012, a bargain signing on a $900,000 deal that included playing time incentives. In 113 games, he hit .281/.348/.496/.845 with 16 homers in 313 plate appearances (all but 39 of which came against right-handers). He wasn't a left-handed Yankee Stadium-created mirage, either — he had batter across-the-board offensive numbers on the road than he did at home.
A six-time Gold Glover at third base in his early career with the A's, Chavez was a solid defender at both corners for the Yankees in 2012. A major league source confirmed that the Red Sox view Chavez as a potentially strong fit for their roster needs for 2013.
Of course, with Alex Rodriguez now out for the first couple months of 2013, the Yankees also have interest in retaining Chavez. That could pit the two division rivals against each other for his services, although with Will Middlebrooks positioned as an everyday third baseman for the Sox and Mike Napoli an everyday first baseman (with the versatility to slide behind the plate), Chavez might have a greater playing time opportunity in New York than Boston, particularly with Rodriguez out.
|Kevin Millar on M&M: Red Sox should 'make a splash,' chase Matt Garza
|07.27.12 at 1:53 pm ET
MLB analyst and former Red Sox first baseman Kevin Millar joined Mut & Merloni for his weekly appearance on Friday afternoon, saying he would pursue Matt Garza at the trade deadline if in charge. To listen to the interview, check the Mut & Merloni audio on demand page.
"I would add another starter immediately and make a splash," Millar said. "I'd get a hold of the Cubs and I'd try to get Garza and I'd say, 'Lets go for it.' You can't go wrong with another arm in this rotation."
Millar said he wouldn't give up starting pitcher Josh Beckett in any deals, but he does see the Red Sox pursuing a trade to send Beckett out of Boston in the offseason.
"He's wearing thin out there in Boston," Millar said. " His press conferences are wearing thin, the statements are wearing thin, and if he doesn't turn it around and go off the charts at some point I think there will be a move made."
Added Millar: "He's had some great years with the Red Sox, but if things don't turn around I can see him gone."
Other than chasing Garza, Millar didn't have much to say about Boston's trade possibilities because most of the lineup is set.
"They have the players in place, they just have to do what they're capable of doing," Millar said. "They're not asking for Sandy Koufax numbers, but they're also not asking for the common-ground numbers with a 5.00 ERA. These guys are good players and good pitchers still and you wonder why, at some point they haven't put this thing together."
Added Millar: "The only move you can make here is remove one of the guys at the top [and] make a splash." Read the rest of this entry »
|Terry Francona: Mike Cameron shows again why 'he's as professional as you can be'
|04.10.11 at 9:39 pm ET
Once again Sunday night, Mike Cameron showed that while he may not be the spectacular player he was a decade ago he can still deliver when Terry Francona needs him.
Following a what looked like a devastating 4-6-3 double play on an interference call on Kevin Youkilis at second base – keeping Dustin Pedroia at third – Cameron chopped a grounder into the new Fenway dirt and beat out Eric Chavez's throw to first, scoring Pedroia and giving Josh Beckett and the Red Sox a 1-0 lead.
The reason Cameron was even in the lineup to begin with was Francona's decision to sit the struggling Jacoby Ellsbury against Yankees lefty ace C.C. Sabathia. Cameron was 8-for-16 lifetime against Sabathia while Ellsbury had just one hit in 13 ABs.
"I wanted to get Cam in there and Ells hasn't had a lot of success," Francona said before the game. "One through nine, against a guy like Sabathia, you're not going to have nine guys who've really had their way with him. He's one of the better pitchers in the game but I wanted to get Cam's bat in there.
I know he's trying to. He's doing it as professionally as possible. I don't want him to sit very often because he's a big part of what we're doing. Cam's about as professional as you can be."
|The dirt on the new Red Sox infield at Fenway Park
|04.09.11 at 3:58 pm ET
The complaints about the Fenway Park infield have been legendary.
From Eric Chavez calling it the "worst he ever played on" years ago when he played with Oakland to Dustin Pedroia ripping it last year for its inconsistencies, the infield on Yawkey Way has been notorious among major league infielders for decades.
But all of that has hopefully changed this year as the infield is brand new.
'It looks beautiful," Terry Francona raved before Saturday's game. "A couple of things that excite us are, the texture of the dirt is really good, and I think it'll get better as we get into a couple of homestands and it's get played on, it'll even get better. But everybody was really excited.
'The hardest thing for players is inconsistency. But, again, when I walked it [Friday], it had a real nice texture to it. How's that going to hold up? We're one game in, and [head groundskeeper] Dave Mellor needs some days, too. He's got to check with everybody and see how it plays and see how it digs up, if it clumps. But the initial reviews were really good.'
Pedroia was all aglow after Friday's game, raving about how the ball bounces much truer and stays down lower to ground without coming up unexpectedly.
'It was new," Francona added. "There's five infields that have this same surface. You'd have to ask Dave. But I believe it's five. I'm sure those guys talk. Cleveland has the same one."
Someone may have forgotten to tell Jed Lowrie. Making his first start on the new infield Saturday, he put his glove down on a grounder by Alex Rodriguez. He expected to come up like the old infield. It stayed down on the new one. Result: E-6. It was an error that opened the door for a two-run Yankees second, one of which was unearned.

Former High Court and Court of Appeal judge Sir Bruce Robertson is to be the new Commissioner of Security Warrants in the second top level intelligence and security appointment announced in the last 24 hours.
Prime Minister John Key who has responsibility for the Government Communications Security Bureau and the Security Intelligence Service announced the appointment this morning, saying Sir Bruce had had a distinguished career in the judiciary.
As Commissioner of Security Warrants Sir Bruce is jointly responsible with Mr Key for issuing domestic spying warrants for New Zealand citizens or permanent residents.
He replaces Sir John Jeffries who was the first commissioner appointed in 1999.
Sir Bruce's appointment comes after Mr Key yesterday announced former High Court Judge Andrew McGechan was to be the new Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security, replacing former Solicitor General Paul Neazor, who has held the job since 2004.
The new appointments have been announced in the run up to consideration of changes to the GCSB Act by Parliament's intelligence and security committee.
The committee begins hearing submissions this afternoon in a session to be chaired by Mr Key.
Mr Key has said he is open to considering NZ First Leader Winston Peters' proposal that the Commissioner of Security Warrants is replaced by a three person panel which would also periodically review security agencies' activities under the warrants it issued.
Mr Peters has indicated the establishment of such a panel would be a pre-condition for NZ First to support the new GCSB legislation which amongst other things will expressly allow the GCSB to lawfully spy on New Zealanders.

In this excerpt from "Inter/Nationalism," Steven Salaita explains the basis for making the link between colonialism and decolonial struggle in America and Palestine.
The Office of Research and Development has been at the front lines of virtually every environmental crisis.
Speakout is Truthout's treasure chest for bloggy, quirky, personally reflective, or especially activism-focused pieces. Speakout articles represent the perspectives of their authors, and not those of Truthout.
Last week Wednesday, after three consecutive years of severe drought and a failed call for residents to reduce water usage, California officials proposed to issue fines to those who overuse. Fines can be up to $500 and may be incurred if water is:
The legislature in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is now considering passing Bill S.2232. Officially entitled, "An Act to ensure continued humane animal care in Massachusetts," this commendable bill is designed to prevent cruelty and ill-treatment to farm animals. Here are some key excerpts:
The purpose of this section, subject to exceptions, is to prohibit the confinement of farm animals in a manner that does not allow them to turn around freely, lie down, stand up, and fully extend their limbs.
There's a lot to love about America and its people: their pioneering spirit, their entrepreneurship, their ability to think outside the box, their passion for the arts, etc. Increasingly, however, as time goes by, I find the things I don't like about living in a nation that has long since ceased to be a sanctuary for freedom are beginning to outnumber the things I love.
Here's what I don't like about living in the American police state: I don't like being treated as if my only value to the government is as a source of labor and funds. I don't like being viewed as a consumer and bits of data. I don't like being spied on and treated as if I have no right to privacy, especially in my own home.
One of the many reasons I care so much about Palestine is because I locate it within a struggle for liberation of all colonized or formerly colonized people. All of historic Palestine (the West Bank, Gaza and Israel) is colonized land. I cannot and will not side with a colonizing force or with people who support a colonizing force: that is the equivalent of condoning the genocide of indigenous Americans, enslavement of African Americans, apartheid against blacks in the US and South Africa, genocide of the aborigines in Australia or Herero and Nama people in Namibia.
Occupied and colonized people have every right to resist their occupation and move towards decolonization. All of our movements for liberation have been watered down and none of our groups yet knows what justice or self-determination feels like. Just look to the poverty of the reservations, to the millions of incarcerated black Americans, or the fact that the majority of South Africa's black population is poorer than they were 20 years ago.
Though the fatalities in the latest flare up between Israel and Hamas – about 200 Palestinian deaths so far – dwarf those in other conflicts, the American public needs to pay particular attention to what's happening there. The United States is not merely an onlooker: we are directly involved in militarily supporting the Israeli side to the tune of $3 billion per year. And the prognosis is not good: the UN estimates that more than three-quarters of those killed in the Israeli raids – largely using US arms – over the past week are civilians.
These figures are a Godsend for terrorist recruitment. Unfortunately, any terrorist backlash against Israel will also very likely be directed at the United States since US munitions on US-supplied planes – paid for by US taxpayers – are often used in the raids.
The current Israeli onslaught on Gaza which so far resulted in 120 dead and counting, as Israel is attempting to deliver a final blow to Hamas after many failed attempts, appears to have been planned in advance, regardless of developments on the ground. Following the abduction of three Israeli youth and their subsequent murder several weeks ago, Israel laid the blame on Hamas, although the latter denied responsibility and said it wants calm with Israel.
After assigning culpability, Israel conducted a major crackdown on the movement in the West Bank and arrested over 500 people. Israel is now launching a massive aerial bombing campaign on Gaza, claiming its goal is to eradicate Hamas. Hamas was a convenient target for the Israeli government that has been fretting over the fact that it joined a unity government with the PLO, which received international recognition. By framing Hamas as the culprit initially, Israel probably sought to disrupt the government and chose escalation at a time when it was faced by increased international criticism as peace talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas collapsed.
Remember the film Jaws? Remember how the whole town was affected by the presence of the predatory Great White? Well, all we working stiffs here in America are just as terrorized by the multitude of sharks that run this country. We have the corporate sharks and their political 'Two Party, One Party' shark allies who run our government. Either way, if you work for someone else or have a small Mom & Pop business, you are meat for these economic predators!
As a reminder of how bad things have become, in 1965 the CEO to worker pay was 20-1. In 2000 it was as high as 382-1. Isn't it time for some righteous anger from our labor force? Isn't it time for our politicians to be held accountable for doing absolutely nothing to correct this obscenity?
The Gordian knot refers to an intricate problem that is seemingly unsolvable, especially when considered in its own frame of reference. Cutting this knot requires a bold solution.
From the obscene bloodshed in the Arab world to the political bipolarity of the West, from the looming threat of environmental catastrophe to the cold profit motive of large banks, from a new balance of power between Western and non-Western countries, from one extreme to another, the world and its conflicts, active and latent, seem increasingly indecipherable. Everything seems to be spinning out of control.
In this latest assault on Gaza, Israel had by Thursday already killed 69 Palestinians including 22 children and 13 women, plus 469 wounded including 166 children and 85 women, and 70 houses destroyed. These numbers have since increased significantly.
In this video from Thursday on CNN, Jake Tapper interviews Diana Buttu, a former advisor to the PLO. After failing to persuade her of Israel's complete innocence, he tells her that Hamas is instructing women and children to remain in their homes to die as Israel bombs them. She responds by expressing doubt that people want to die. Oh no, says Tapper, Palestinians live in a culture of martyrdom; they want to die.

Bring back your Walkman: Cassette Store Day arrives
With a new holiday in September and a documentary coming in early 2014, cassette tapes are vying for a continued spot in your music collection.
Mon Jul 15 2013
With the wildly popular Record Store Day coming up on its seventh year, it's safe to say that vinyl fetishism is at an all-time high (look at these folks queuing up). Yet in certain circles—garage rock, noise and drone music, come to mind—cassette tapes have become the thing, catering to the demand for a low-cost, analog physical recording. So it was only a matter of time before those two trends spawned Cassette Store Day, a consumer event that will bring exclusive tapes to record stores around the world.
The inaugural event happens September 7; locations and live-set details are still TBA, but the list of bands contributing releases includes Fucked Up, Deerhunter, the Birthday Party, At the Drive-In, the Flaming Lips, the Pastels, Efterklang and the Blow, and labels such as Bella Union, 4AD, Kanine and Burger Records.
Concurrently, there's also a crowd-funded documentary in production about the pocket-sized tapes, titled Cassette. As you can see by the trailer, Henry Rollins, Mike Watt, Ian MacKaye and Daniel Johnston are some of the notable tape-loving musicians featured in the film, which is set to come out in 2014.

Stella Maris Concludes
Successful B-Ball Camp
The Lady Flipper Basketball Camp, hosted by Stella Maris High School, concluded its weeklong instruction on Friday, July 12th. The Camp, in its 5th successful year, has grown in leaps and bounds. This year, seventy-five dedicated players were in attendance. The young ladies ranged in age from 7 thru 14.
To accommodate the surge in enrollment, a second outdoor court was added. So, if you were one of the boardwalk pedestrians who stopped to watch the enthusiastic, high level of play during the week of July 8th, you had a glimpse of just what the Camp Staff was so highly impressed by all week.
Campers are asked to bring a sense of humor, an eagerness to learn and as much energy as possible. And they always deliver! Once again, the coaching Staff was bowled over by the work ethic, skill level and "coachability" of all the players. Sport-specific skills covered shooting, ball handling, moving without the ball, defense and post play were either introduced (to our younger players) or expanded upon for our "old ladies".
One of the week's highlights is "defense" day when Queens College Women's Head Coach, Mr. Jerry Ingenito, delivers his interactive instruction on man-to man principles. Each year, it proves not only educational for the campers but for the Staff as well.
And finally, with five Stella Maris Alum on the coaching staff and twelve of the counselors soon to be SM graduates, we already had plenty of memories and stories to swap. However, "homecoming" week was extended when more than 25 Alumnae daughters, nieces and or granddaughters attended this year's Camp.

Drywall Installation-Finishing-Texturing tips
I thought I would share some tips and info on drywall. Ive been in the trade for over 20 years. I would be happy to answer any questions on the process. Although I don't know all of the answers , I know some of the other pro's on here most likely will.
First check out these links:
Drywall how to guide
Levels of drywall finishing
4 Attachment(s)
you know what problem i have with drywall.. is application of mud over tape. first i put some mud on the seam, maybe 1/8" thick and wider than the tape. then i press the tape in and run a dry spatula over the tape so it presses into the mud and no wrinkles.
all seems good.
then, when it drys i use 12" spatula and spread on some mud and i find that the tape bubbles up! you can press on the bubbles and its like it no longer is sticking to the drywall, where just 5minutes ago it was!
so i go to sticky mesh tape instead..
what was i doing wrong?
I use the sticky yellow mesh tape purchased at lowes. I find that to be the best
Have you tried using a durabond for the taping coat? It sets up much like concrete rather than drying like premixed compound. Since I've made the switch...I would never go back to pre-mixed...even for the top coat....use the easy sand dry, mix what you want/need. For small areas and patches, I love the 20 minute mud.
4 Attachment(s)
i wait atleast 24 hrs before next coat.
but the original coat, i.e. mud between wall & tape, i press the tape down HARD into the mud. maybe yes.. i am squishing out all the mud & then moisture lifts the tape on 2nd coat.
your theory seems to match my experience. could be true. i'll keep this in mind for next time (though my wife is loosing patience with my lack of tape/mud skillz) :thumbsup:
Years ago when I just started messing with this stuff...I found that I over-worked the mud, and would end up with a bigger mess than when I started. Work on your techniques, the key is moderation...don't push too hard...but "hard enough", don't use mud too thin..."but thin enough"...don't over sand...but "sand just enough". Time and experience will provide you with the "enough" parameters...
Everyone has their techniques that work...and no one can make you into a drywall finisher. You have to put in the hours or find yourself a really good mentor...it's not rocket science...but it does require a touch. Hang in there...it'll come to ya...but it will take time....
Any good tips on taping butt sections?
If your tape bubbles after 24 hrs. of drying, you're not getting enough mud under the tape - a nice even coat. There are voids in there. If you do use mesh (flats only, always paper in the corners) use a setting type compound for AT LEAST the first coat. The EZ sand products available at the big boxes are fine. And a couple of thin coats over the tape are better than trying to pile the mud on to cover with one coat....
anyone use auto taping tools?
For DIYer's??
Mark, When hand taping on my butt joints, I use fiber tape. 2nd, use a 6" knife and durabond (Place mud about 5"'s wide). let dry. 3rd,use a 12" knife each side of previous coat w/all purpose joint compound (place mud 11"'s wide on each side of seam). Let dry. 4th, sand center and edges lightly. 5th, check for flatness w/ 12" knife by placing horizontally to the seam. 6th, add mud as need for flatness.:thumbsup:
Thank you Sir mixalot for reaffirming that it just takes a bit more time to do. I have to admit to having a bit of a bulge at that particular seam. I have even gone as far as beveling the edges with a grader to help this problem. But it all boils down to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,steps, and maybe 8 in my case. Thanks once again.
Question for ya... what is the advantage of placing mud in a straight line covering all screws in that specific grid, as opposed to two or three different patches of mud? I noticed some people do this..
is it to trick the eye and eliminate the "patch look" of different mud locations? Seems like more mud than is needed...
also, is it better to have them vertical up/down on a wall application?
I have successfully done the patch methode before & primed/painted with good results...

Premium dog food is just the beginning.
Spending money on your pet goes without saying. They rely on us completely, and you love your companion. When Fluffy gets sick, you take her to the vet and the bills can really add up. And, certainly, Whiskers deserves the most nutritious and best tasting food that you can only order from an exclusive specialty producer. OK, fine. Your pet doesn't come close to making our list of the most expensive domesticated animals. But some people spend ridiculous amounts of money just to get their hands on the right breed or type of pet.

The Believer Reveals Something We Did Not Already Know About Ezra Pound And Walt Whitman
-the story of Sadakichi Hartmann, a bohemian artist who befriended both Walt Whitman and Ezra Pound! Who the heck is Sadakichi Hartmann? Well friends, The Believer's Michelle Legro has done the legwork here and if you thought you knew all the crazy anecdotes there are to know about the great and powerful poets Ezra Pound and Walt Whitman, boy is this one a doozy!
According to Legro, Hartmann (of German and Japanese ancestry) immigrated to Philadelphia at the age of twelve after being disowned by his German father: his Japanese mother passed away before he turned a year old. As a young boy living with his great-uncle in Philly, Hartmann paid a visit to Walt Whitman, who lived in nearby Camden, New Jersey: "I would like to see Walt Whitman," he said. Legro writes:
The poet—with his long gray beard and open, flowing shirt, which revealed his naked chest—greeted him by sight. "That's my name. And you are a Japanese boy, are you not?"
If literature was the passport into this new kind of modern society, Walt Whitman was the common language, and the home of Whitman is where, around the age of sixteen, this lanky, German Japanese boy with a dark suit and a pince-nez began his American pilgrimage into the dark heart of bohemia.
Pound met Hartmann in Greenwich Village and later remarked "If one hadn't been oneself, it would have been worthwhile to have been Sadakichi." Read all about Hartmann's life, art, and connections to modern poetry at The Believer.

Both houses of Parliament were disrupted on Tuesday as the opposition raised the pitch over the alleged role of Home Minister P Chidambaram in the Aircel-Maxis deal when he was finance minister.
The upper house saw two adjournments, first for 10 minutes and then till 12 noon, while Lok Sabha was straightaway adjourned till noon as opposition members demanded a probe in the home minister's alleged role in the deal.
Main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused the home minister of delaying permission for the sale of Aircel to Malaysia-based Maxis in 2006 when he was finance minister so that his son Karthi was financially benefited.
BJP MPs in both houses raised slogans demanding a probe and they were joined by the AIADMK. As uproar continued in both houses, the respective presiding officers ordered brief adjournments.
As soon as members assembled in the morning in the Lok Sabha, some BJP frontbenchers rose to protest, demanding suspension of question hour to discuss the issue.
Some BJP MPs staged protests near Speaker Meira Kumar's podium and disrupted the crucial question hour.
The speaker first tried to restore peace in the house asking protesting MPs to go back to their seats. As the MPs intensified their protests, Meira Kumar adjourned the house till noon.
Opposition MPs cited Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy's allegations that Chidambaram had delayed permission for the sale of Aircel to Malaysia-based Maxis in 2006 when he was finance minister so that his son, Karthi, was financially benefited.
"The BJP is going to raise the matter very seriously in both the houses. The government is not coming with true facts pertaining to the deliberate delays in the Aircel-Mexis deal because of the interest of then finance minister. We want a reply from the government in Parliament," said BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad.

Years ago when my daughter was 10, I realized that my relationship with my daughter was much smoother and easier than that of the average or typical relationship. Yes! I said easier. I have always been told, wait for it, things will change as soon as she's a teenager.

Brief Encounters
Brief Encounters is a multidisciplinary performance experiment designed to fuse disciplines and push artistic boundaries. Brief Encounters was created by The Tomorrow Collective in 2005, and is produced by Katy Harris-McLeod and Mara Branscombe and two guest programmers who are selected for each installment of the series. Under the mentorship of Katy and Mara, the guest programmers pick twelve inspiring artists/creators and match them in 6 unusual pairings. Two weeks prior to the show dates the artists are allowed meet with their partner and begin working. From this point on, the only criteria is that the piece be a new collaborative effort.
Brief Encounters is about the mixing of mediums and the crossing of artistic cultures. The collective created this event out of an interest in cross-pollination between art forms, audience education and the excitement of creation under-the-gun. The result is the creation and performance of cutting-edge collaborative work between artists who had likely not previously met, let alone worked together. The pieces that emerge from the Brief Encounters pairings fuse, cross over, interrupt and co-create new perspectives on artistic forms and the relationships between them. To date, the The Tomorrow Collective has produced 204 different artists in Vancouver over the 17 installments of Brief Encounters, as well as 10 artists in Nanaimo.
The Tomorrow Collective is seeking donations to help the Brief Encounters Series grow. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to our society, the Tomorrow Collective Arts Society. Donations can be made to our society at www.canadahelps.org

Thai police will seek harsh sentences for two Australians reportedly linked to an outlaw motorcycle gang who they say shot two German tourists during an attempted hit on a local underworld figure.
Adam Lewis Shea, 26, of Tasmania, and John Edward Cohen, 33, of New South Wales, have been charged with attempted murder and illegally possessing a firearm.
The two men, owners of a local tattoo parlour, were arrested after allegedly firing at a Dane who failed to pay for the hire of an expensive motorcycle, shooting down a crowded street on the resort island of Phuket.
They instead hit tourists Johann Baschenegger, 41, and Joseph Woerner, 71, who were standing outside their hotel when the shots were fired, police say.
Baschenegger was admitted to hospital in a serious condition. Woerner was reported by local media to be in a satisfactory condition.
Superintendent Chiraphat Pochanaphan of the Patong police told the Phuket Gazette the Australians must face the full extent of the law if convicted. "The suspects opened fire in the middle of a dense tourism area and injured two innocent people. They have seriously tarnished Thailand's reputation."
Shea and Cohen were reported in the Phuket media as being linked to either the Rebels outlaw motorcycle gang or the Bandidos, which local media said was trying to establish itself in Phuket.
Police said the pair had been due to appear in court on Tuesday with a member of the Phuket mafia identified as "Dannie", over a dispute involving a 300,000 baht ($12,000) motorcycle.
After Dannie failed to appear, Shea and Cohen allegedly went hunting for him.
Police say the pair saw Dannie near the Baan Pirin Hotel, and Cohen opened fire with a .38 pistol.
He missed, allegedly hitting the tourists instead, and handed the pistol to Shea before they split up to escape. They were arrested within hours at their tattoo parlour.
Cohen claimed that Dannie had sent men to his home.
"I was afraid he would shoot me since he did not show up at court," Cohen reportedly told police. "So me and my friend decided to make a move first."

They posted it after an incident 5 years ago in which a local moron and his fellow mental midget were waving weapons around. They were arrested. Dannys lawyer advised them to post it just in case something untoward happened they would have some legal cover for liability. Much the same as covertfolders situation.
