Growing up in Burnham-on-Sea, Sara was a standout swimmer at the Burnham pool. Sara would go on to represent Great Britain in 11 World Championships ranging from Modern Pentathlon (National Champion) to Triathlon (World Amateur Champion) to X-Country Skiing (7th in World Masters) – she was also a 2X National Biathlon Champion.

After retiring from Professional Athletics, Sara put her degree in Business & Finance, and Masters Degree in Psychology to use working alongside Mark Allen (6 X Ironman World Champion) as his Operations Executive and later as a Program Manager at Microsoft.
Sara is now back home, taking on another big challenge – making the Burnham-on-Sea Swim & Sports Academy a facility that she and the community can be proud of. Sara continues to represent England racing around the world.

Garage talk - Baxter adds requirement with residential building
BAXTER — From now on if Jack were building a house in Baxter, he'd have to build a garage, too.
In a split vote Wednesday, the Baxter Council voted to require garages with residential construction. The move came after a six-month moratorium on residential building permits which was extended in October to give staff more time to iron out details on garage sizes, research ordinances and requirements from home lending programs.
For a single family home, residences are required to have a two-vehicle garage 20 feet wide by 22 feet long. For two family dwellings or townhouses, one garage space is required 12 feet by 22 feet. For apartments and multi-family dwellings, a half garage or underground parking space per unit is required. So a 24-unit apartment building would require a 12-unit garage. The city has the option to waive the requirement for senior living complexes.
The council voted 3-2 in favor of the garage requirement with Mayor Darrel Olson and Council members Jim Klein and Todd Holman in favor. Council members Mark Cross and Rob Moser were opposed.
The issue first came before the city when an apartment building plan arrived without garages. Many of the apartment complexes in Baxter have underground parking. While there wasn't a written requirement for a garage, building on all planned unit developments up to that point had included them.
Cross said he agreed with the
majority of the ordinance, but was against the requirement for a single family home. Holman asked if making it a single vehicle garage was better, but Cross said he was taking the position against forcing a resident to build any garage. Klein said he was concerned with developers putting up houses without garages and then leaving no room for one should a future resident want it. Cross said he understood that argument.
Moser noted the number of cities requiring garages in the city's report.
"I just haven't felt it's been an issue in the past," Moser said, adding the could see both sides of the argument but had been against requiring garages from the beginning.
Olson who has supported the idea from the outset, said if it hasn't been a problem it should be an issue if the city adds the ordinance.
Olson said people were moving into Baxter long before he arrived because they liked how the city had developed. Adding the garage ordinance would be following those patterns and Olson said he didn't want to see the city move backwards.

will the same program help to plot summary statistics in meta
analysis. Here the x axis would be OR and 95% CI and Y axis is the
different variables. This is not the actual forest plot which can be
easily produced by the metan program. For example- when performing
meta-analysis, suppose you perform subgroup analyses for different
categories like age, sex etc...can one plot the OR and 95% CI using
the program which you suggested but flipping the axis over.

Roger Newson's user-written -eclplot- package, downloadable by SSC, should
be just the solution for you. Try this, which is used in conjunction with
two more of Roger's user-written packages, -parmby- and -sencode-:
. webuse union, clear
. parmby "xi:logit union age i.grade south black, or", label norestore
. sencode label, gene(parmlab)
. eclplot estimate min95 max95 parmlab, hori eplot(scatter)
It's not the most sensible example, for sure, but this seem to do exactly
what you want. Hope that helps.

Community Garden 2011
January 26, 2011
Good Morning Foodies!
Anyone ready for sunshine, a pina colada by the pool and a young, muscular attendant to remind you to turn over every 15 minutes (to avoid sunburn!)? Wake up! We live in North Idaho! Spring is just around the snow berms, and treacherous ice is just beyond them. So let's get started dreaming about our gardens and then go back to sleep for a few more months.
Community Garden 2011
• To date we have sold over 1/3 of the available plots for this season. How Cool! If you'd like to reserve your plot before they're sold out, just go to our website and download the forms. We will be putting articles in the papers and posters around town to advertise so now's the time to reserve your space. Here's the link: http://sites.google.com/site/sandpointcommunitygarden/ Last year we sold out all 60 plots by May so you might want to check out the garden map and grab a plot or two.
• This season we are planning to do some workshops with the Master Gardeners Group. They have offered their expertise to assist all of our gardeners with food preservation ideas; what's buggin' our plants; why broccoli isn't supposed to be yellow and various other conundrums of the gardening world. Lynn Pietz sent us this link to the Master Gardeners website on the Home Horticultural series. Take a look: www.sandpoint.org/bcmastergardeners
• We are planning to add a picnic table w/ umbrella, compost bin and other enhancements to make our garden even more enjoyable. The taco and beer stand still has to be approved.
• We will be providing gardening info via email which will provide you with links to pertinent gardening issues as well as the very real reasons to begin growing your own food.
• We are ready to expand the Community Garden should we sell out the existing plots. We have room for at least a dozen more 4′ x 8′ raised beds and would love to see more people involved in growing their own food.
The benefits of chemical free vegetables that travel only the distance from your plot to your table are clear. The benefits of picking up that 15# zuchinni from your very own garden…priceless. So go to our website; download the forms and send them to our P.O. Box (listed on the site) and start planning your gardens. It's thyme.
Your Parners in Thyme,
Mary Catherine, Christie, Michelle, Elissa, Katy, David & Pat
Hello I am David Main and I live in Sandpoint, Idaho. I have some ideas in re-establishing a sustainable and resilient community. Please email at firstname.lastname@example.com. I have also been contacted by Richard Kuhnel and will leave a message in hope that my call is returned. Thank you and thank you for your time.
Good morning David,
I'm very interested in meeting with you and hearing your ideas on sustainability. I'm not sure who you left a message with but you may contact me at 265-9828 and perhaps we can meet sometime this week.
I have been busy, sorry that it took me this long to get to you. Please allow me some access to your time and thank you for your time. Please call me at 703-232-3166 and please leave a message. Perhaps we can meet sometime of your preference. Thank you.

"Safe House," starring Denzel Washington as a shady rogue agent, is an above average action spy mystery.
Looking as cool as ever, Washington's Tobin Frost -- after dodging an attempt on his life -- steals into the American Embassy in South Africa. From there he is taken by a couple of security goons to a nearby safe house and watched over by a bored young CIA agent named Matt Weston (Ryan Reynolds), who would rather be in Paris with his French girlfriend.
To Weston's surprise, the goons start waterboarding Frost. He must know something important. When bad guys show up to finish the job on Frost, Weston sees his chance to be a hero if he can deliver the rogue agent to the CIA. After that it becomes an on-the-run story, with the crafty Frost using psychology to manipulate the younger agent.
Directed by young Swedish director Daniel Espinosa, "Safe House" moves along with speed and intrigue. It may not have much of an emotional impact or the depth of its betters in the genre - any of the "Bourne" films, say - but it scores in the action category. And as for Washington, well, there is a reason he's a movie star.
Also outNo reason to pile on about "John Carter." The costly action sci-fi film based on a 1912 magazine serial by Edgar Rice Burroughs is not a great film, but it's kind of dumb fun, depending how dumb you're feeling.
Directed by Pixar alum Andrew Stanton, who made two great, intelligent animated films -- "Finding Nemo" and "WALL-E" -- "John Carter" might have been better suited to that medium. As it is, it's got B-movie written all over it, only it tries to be more than that, which is where it trips up.
It stars Taylor Kitsch as a Confederate veteran caught up in a civil war -- on Mars. The red planet looks really red (everything is colorful), and the action in this fantasy epic is the usual bizarre combination of alien tech, monsters, and swords and sandals. Nothing much about the story grabs you, but it does have something for the eyeballs if not cerebral cortex.
"Act of Valor" stars real active-duty members of the Navy SEALs. The film, which began as a recruiting tool for Naval Special Warfare, follows a team of SEALs - all combat veterans - known as the Bandito Platoon, who track a vigilante Chechen terrorist from the Philippines to the U.S.-Mexico border to prevent a strike on U.S. soil.
While it may have the ring of authenticity, "Act of Valor" lacks a couple of things that make for a good movie -- acting and a coherent script.

Wisdom from Maya Angelou
A friend of mine recently shared some words from Maya Angelou. And these words spoke to my soul. Maya was asked to reflect on her life and share what she's learned. Here's what she said:
"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life.' I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
Yes, yes, yes!

The ELCA voted this summer to allow local Synods the option to roster clergy who are in committed same-sex relationships. The fact that this is now a possibility for some has caused some Lutheran congregations to separate from the ELCA. Bishop Hanson though says that the numbers leaving are not as great as they might seem.
"Hanson said he doesn't want to minimize the loss of congregations, but just a small number of the ELCA's 10,400 congregations — less than 1.5 percent — so far have held votes about whether to leave the denomination.
'I don't want people to sense that that's the totality of the church,' he said.
Fewer than 150 congregations have taken the first of two votes needed to formally withdraw from the ELCA, and about 30 didn't reach the two-thirds majority needed to move forward with leaving, Hanson said."
Read the full article here.
What's particularly interesting from our Episcopal perspective is that the rules binding congregations to Synod are much less restrictive than is the case in the Episcopal Church. And yet their numbers of leaving congregations is about comparable to what we've experienced.

I think my presence here is testament as to how I feel about sharing. You will notice that I refrain fromtalking much about glaze and clay chemistry. I don't know enough, so I leave it to those that do (sensei John). I loved teaching, and here I can still help someone.
Maybe this is the thread summed up in a nutshell. We share what we are comfortable to share.

Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.

This is a discussion on New Soobii first WRX 2011 within the New Member Hangout forums, part of the Community - Meet other Enthusiasts category; Hi all I joined recently and just two weeks ago I've got my new subi, but first WRX. I had ...
Congrats! Did you get that from Livermore Subaru? I purchased the one in the showroom there about 5 weeks ago. BTW, those aren't the stock wheels, right?
Yes, they are the best deal in bay area. This is my third car from them.
I've to change the wheels the same day I took my car, it was cold and Dunlop just was too stiff to keep my car the way I like on this freezing weather. This are my old wheels from 2005 outback sport, 16" sport edition 50mm offset 7"w with pilot alpine PA2. There are probably 10K miles more in this tires, and they will do for this season.
Yup, Livermore > Capitol in terms of pricing. Lapon was my sales guy and he was a no bs, straight to the point kind of guy.
Welcome & Congrats!
Nice '11 WRX
Thank you.
Bought it in Livermore,ca.
Two days ago I replaced rear swaybar to eibach, adjustable 22mm tube. Next will be front, just need some time for my self and subi
It took me less than two hours, but if I followed instruction it would be 40-50 mins. Basicaly, I tried for while to connect endlinks first, and then to tire-up bushings
First step when installing rear swaybar is to screw in bushings. Everything else goes smoothly.
Now the best part, I set it for stiffer handlnig, and since I don't have installed the front it seems to oversteer bit more than it should. My assumption is that when front bar comes it is going to be neutral.
All that I can say now it is different and much more fun to drive. I love subi.
Sweet ride!!!!!!
Stink-Eye MOB#187
Right now I am looking to replace my eibach sways and stock coils. For me wrx has to be stiffer, but not lower. I aleady have trouble with driveways in my neighbourhood.

The opening night Pedro strutted through Gran Canaria like a Hollywood star. He may not be Brad Pitt, but surrounded by a posse of women he sure did feel like him. Guys whistled at the girls pouring over the streets of Gran Canaria, and, in a hero worship sort of way, shook the hand of Pedro and his friends who had by the grace of God signed up for a week long tour with more girls than Hugh Heffner brings to a party (although not one of them compared to his lady friends).
As the music began, the familiar movie sounds from the Full Monty filled the air. Clicking into place the boys looked at each other panic-stricken as the ladies bayed for bare flesh. They knew they had been put on this stage to show the ladies all they have got. Nothing was to be left to the imagination.
Choreographed by the overweight lady rep, the boys swayed from side to side, thrusting their hips on cue and slowly removing each item of clothing. Stripping down to their underwear the boys became less and less inhibited. Especially Pedro, standing in his pearly white y-fronts, showing the ladies exactly what he had to offer. Not one to be prudish, Pedro spun around, whipped off the y-fronts and wooed the ladies with his milky white behind. "Full Frontal" one girl shouted, and not to disappoint, Pedro spun back around to reveal his jewels to the paparazzi girls, taking a holiday souvenir on their mobiles. Pedro gleefully smiled. His Full Monty show gave him a few minutes of stardom.
Famous or infamous, Pedro was not sure, but he knew he had shined and that this night he had the chance to end his journey for poontang. Spying out prey, Pedro found a semi-lucid Scottish girl dancing upon a pole. He looked up into her drunken eyes and after a brief romantic pole dance took her home to have his wicked way.
The next morning Pedro awoke to discover a burning sensation on the inside of both legs (a result of persuading the girl with the shaven haven to do all the work). The girl beside him was not quite as pretty as before. In fact she was not pretty in the slightest. As he began to creep away the girl awoke and not to disappoint, Pedro had one last bout of passion with the girl who was only pretty with tequila shots.
Pedro thought he had escaped her clutches forever, until walking out of her door to find that her apartment complex was his apartment complex. On their next meeting Pedro used his infamous 'I have something in my eyes, so cannot see you' move and ran out of sight. Not surprisingly, Pedro never had to escape this girl's clutches ever again.

Abraham Foxman, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League and one of the longest-serving and highest-profile American Jewish organizational leaders, is retiring next year.
Foxman will step down on July 20, 2015, according to a Feb. 10 announcement by the ADL.
"For almost five decades, ADL offered me the perfect vehicle to live a life of purpose both in standing up on behalf of the Jewish people to ensure that what happened during World War II would never happen again and in fighting bigotry and all forms of oppression," Foxman, 73, said in the news release.
The organization said its search for Foxman's successor will be conducted by the executive search firm BoardWalk Consulting, guided by ADL leadership.
Foxman, a child survivor of the Holocaust, started at the ADL in 1965 and became its national director in 1987. Under his leadership, ADL has expanded to 30 regional offices across the United States and an office in Israel.
In 2011, the last year for which data is available, the ADL reported nearly $54 million in revenue. The organization monitors anti-Semitic activity, offers discrimination-sensitivity training and runs anti-bigotry programs.
But it is Foxman's personage for which the ADL may best be known. Seen as a spokesman for the Jewish people, Foxman has used his position as a bully pulpit to advocate for Israel, warn against discrimination and, perhaps most often, issue declamations of what does or does not constitute anti-Semitism.
President Barack Obama praised Foxman as "irreplaceable" in a statement released by the White House Feb. 11.
"For decades, Abe Foxman has been a tireless voice against anti-Semitism and prejudice in all of its forms," Obama said, "always calling us to reject hatred and embrace our common humanity."
After he steps down, Foxman will serve as a part-time consultant to the ADL and sit on the organization's national executive committee. — jta

Whew! It's hot out here. The plants are wilting in the summer's heat. Can adding shade help your plants stay happy?
Can a bit of shade help stop your outdoor plants from wilting?
- Umbrella
- 2 planter boxes
- Soil
- Sprayer
- 6 lettuce plants
- Thermometer
- Moisture meter
- Notebook and pencil
- Is it hot outside? That's perfect! Grab your water bottle and head off to find the warmest place outside your house.
- How can you find a warm place? Walk around until you see some plants that look wilted, with droopy leaves. You can also use your thermometer. Hold it by the top so it doesn't read your body temperature. Stand in each spot for a few minutes and see if the temperature on the thermometer changes.
- Get two small planter boxes and six lettuce plants. Lettuce wilts in the hot sun, so it's a good plant for a heat experiment. Add soil to your planter boxes, and spray the soil with water.
- Now plant your lettuce plants. Put three in each container. Put both containers in the hot sun.
- In this experiment, you're going to give one batch of lettuce shade. The other will be in the hot sun. Create a hypothesis: your best guess about what is going to happen. Will the lettuce wilt? Will the lettuce in the shade wilt less than the lettuce in the hot sun? How about the temperature? Will it be different in each planter box?
- Now, place the thermometer on top of the soil in each planter box. The temperature should be the same.
- Add an umbrella to the side of one of the planter boxes. Make sure that the umbrella's shade covers the lettuce plants in that box but doesn't go as far as the other.
- After one hour, take the temperature on top of the soil of the two planter boxes again. Make a note of it in your notebook. Is it different? The same?
- Next, water the lettuce in each planter box. Wait for several hours. Now, use the moisture meter to see how wet the soil is in each planter. Write the readings down in your notebook.
- Take a look at the lettuce plants in each planter. Do they look wilted? Do they look different or the same?
It may be a little cooler under the umbrella, but this depends on the air temperature and local winds. The plants will likely look less wilted. The soil underneath the umbrella will be moister than the soil with no umbrella.
Have you ever stood in a parking lot on a warm day and then moved underneath the shade of a nearby tree? It sure is cooler under there, isn't it?
Temperature readings depend on many things. They depend on how warm the air is in general, and they depend on how the air is moving. For example, an ocean breeze can cool you down. These readings also depend on the heat that's stored in the ground. In a parking lot, the blacktop stores a lot of heat and radiates it out again, making it feel like you're standing in an oven. Forest and garden soils don't tend to do this as much, especially if they don't have a lot of plants and leaves to cover the soil.
Depending on the movement of the air, the heat in the air, and the heat stored in the ground, you may or may not find that adding shade to your plants changes the temperature of the soil in the planter boxes.
Plants may wilt because the soil is dry and the plants don't have enough to drink. If you add shade, this means that the sun no longer beats down directly on the soil, helping the soil stay damp. Less water evaporates from the soil, and the plants don't wilt as much. Even if the air temperature is about the same, adding shade can still keep your plants happy, because the plants stay moist for a longer time.
Plants have leaves that provide shade. Look around your garden or deck. How can you use plants to add natural shade to your garden?

Paul Ekman's Taxonomy of CompassionBy Paul Ekman | June 21, 2010 | 5 comments
The renowned psychologist offers a lesson in emotional intelligence.
This month, Greater Good features videos of a presentation by renowned psychologist Paul Ekman on "Darwin, Compassion, and the Dalai Lama." In his talk, Ekman reveals the similarities between Darwin's and the Dalai Lama's perspectives on compassion, and he provides an overview of different forms of compassion, ranging from the most elementary to the most exceptional and heroic. Many writers group these phenomena together, explains Ekman, without realizing they're talking about different things.
Below is a guide to understanding what these varying forms of compassion are and why they're so important.
- Emotion Recognition is the easiest—the sine qua non. It's knowing how another person is feeling. Most people don't need to be taught it, though people with Asperger's, autism, or schizoprenia do. Realize that the torturer needs emotion recognition: to know how you feel doesn't imply whether I'm going to try to relieve your suffering or inflict it, or just have no concern. But if I don't know how you're feeling, everything else just falls by the wayside.
- Emotional Resonance is what Bill Clinton does: "I feel your pain." I distinguish between two types of resonance: Identical Resonance is when you realize that someone is in pain and you actually physically experience that same feeling yourself. But when you say, "Oh, you poor baby! I'm so sorry you're feeling that way. What can I do to help you?"—that's Reactive Resonance.
Everybody loves people who resonate; resonance is crucial to our relationships with our loved ones. But if you're like my daughter, an emergency room worker in San Francisco's only trauma center, if you feel other people's pain for 8 or 12 hours a day, you'll burn out. The Dalai Lama says he feels others' pain, but just very slightly and just for a few seconds, then it passes.
Not everyone resonates: There's reason to believe that people with anti-social personalities don't resonate, but they're able to act as if they resonate, because they know other people like it, and that allows them to manipulate others.
- Familial Compassion is the seed of compassion, planted through the caregiver-offspring bond. It raises very interesting questions about people who were brought up without a single caregiver, or were brought up with a parent who had a very distant attachment. What is their capacity for compassion? Both the Dalai Lama and Darwin would say that they're going to have problems—without the seed, the flower won't grow.
- Global Compassion was exemplified by the response to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. People around the world extended assistance to strangers, of different races and skin colors. Now, we know that not everybody has it—a lot of people acted, and a lot of people didn't. How do we cultivate global compassion? I consider this one of the most crucial questions for the survival of our children and grandchildren, because the planet won't survive without global compassion. We've got to try to see what we can learn from those who have it without training.
- Sentient Compassion is when you extend feelings of compassion toward cockroaches, toward any living being. We don't know whether people who have global compassion have sentient compassion. But my hunch is that if you've got sentient, you've got global. The Dalai Lama and Darwin agree that sentient is the highest moral virtue.
- Heroic Compassion is like altruism with a risk. It has two forms: Immediate Heroic Compassion is when, without thought, you jump onto the subway tracks to rescue someone. It's impulsive.
Considered Heroic Compassion isn't done impulsively; it's done with thought, and it can be maintained for many years.
Kristen Monroe, a political scientist at the University of California, Irvine, has done a study of people with heroic compassion, and here are her criteria for it: 1) you must act—not just think about how good it would be to act; 2) your goal is the welfare of the other person; 3) your action has consequences for that person; 4) there's a good possibility your actions will diminish your own welfare—you're putting yourself at risk; 5) and you have no anticipation of reward or recognition.
Again, we know that some people demonstrate heroic compassion without training. How'd they get it? What can we learn from them that will allow us to help other people develop it?

Mr. Ekman,
It is very hard to raise a child in today's society who exhibits the levels of compassion that you dicuss. Bullying, shaming, shunning by parents of classmates and school administrators is used to humiliate a child who is deeply good. We've been there. It has been heartbreaking.
Our only option has been to homeschool. Amazingly, we've found other children in the homeschool community who also have a true and deep empathy.
Our family was shunned and humiliated because we cared and enjoyed giving… like we were being good to get favors or something. Anything good was twisted around as though it was manipulative when it was not. It has been very hard to be shunned and maintain a positive and good view of the world, but we are trying.

Great distinctions, clear and concise - would love, with your permission to share with one of my support groups.

If "sentient is the highest moral virtue" then it would
seem that bringing an end to the abortion industry
would be among the most urgent priorities for anyone
genuinely interested in compassion.

This resonated with me particularly the "cost" as I have 200 people knitting for the recent earthquake victims in Tibet and have sent around 1500 items of pure wool, made with love, jumpers, scarves and beanies to Tibet. It's has been the most touching experience of people's generosity (both the giving and receiving) but I have felt so alone in the co-ordination of it and am so exhausted that I'm now making silly mistakes (like 2 speeding fines in 1 week and leaving my purse in a shopping trolley) !!! Oh well - facing my limitations is part of it I guess.

We had a great time in Rome!...the location was great, a few steps from Campo de Fiori. The neighbourhood was very lifely, full of little local shops and restaurants. The apartmant was nice and quite. We had a really good time!
Les plus:
ponctuel pour la réception
situation idéale dans Rome
Les moins:
cuisine sous équipée pas de table de cuisson
Literie un peu trop dure
environnement très bruyant la nuit
Une personne à sonnée tous les matins à 7 heure sur l'interphone c'est très désagréable
Nous avons passé 1 semaine à Rome.Nous n avons pas rencontré Giulio mais Lorenzo qui doit être un employé. C est une agence de location Rentitaly. L appartement est très bien situé et calme. Lorenzo nous a demandé 50 e de ménage alors que ce n est pas prècisé dans " les règles de la maison" .Nous avons refusé il a contacté le bureau et nous n avons pas payé. Par contre il faut payer ne taxe de sejour de 2 e par jour et par personne.
Déco Ikea, literie très inconfortable, les couvertures sont usées et douteuses, pas de protège matelas. Pas d internet pendant 4 jours, ils nous ont proposé d aller dans un internet point et de nous rembourser. Moyennant 50e ils s occupent de vous réserver une voiture pour le retour à l aéroport Ciampino. Ils s adaptent pour le check in et check out.
J'ai passé plus s'une semaine dans cet appartement et je trouve qu'il vaut vraiment l peine. Super bien placé, au cœur de centre historique de Rome. Tout est accessible a pied.
L'appartement propre, élégant, avec tout le confort nécessaire pour passer un super moment à Rome.
Le hôte, Lorenzo est formidable, toujours prêt à aider et donner le meilleur conseil.
Je reviendrai avec grand plaisir et sans hésiter.

My sister and I loved staying in this lovely apartment for one week. The location is PERFECT! The apartment itself is clean, spacious for a European flat, and had all the amenities necessary for a wonderful stay in Rome. July our host messenger was libel and very helpful allowing us the luxury of knowing if we had a question or problem that she would be available. The first floor is very convenient , but the windows are a little small. All in all I think it was superb and would stay there again! Thank you Giulio e Giovanni and (July !!).
Beautiful views from the private rooftop terrace. Plenty of space in the apartment for us as a couple. Enjoyed opening the windows and getting a great cross breeze whiling listening to the sounds from the pedestrian street Borgo Pio. Car/road noise was not an issue in this apartment. Rental staff was quite responsive to email questions and were very welcoming and helpful. Only negative was the internet access or lack of it. Staff did fix issue by day 2 but then the internet went out again a few days later. Overall very happy with our experience.
We had a pleasant stay.
Nice apartment with stunning view and sounds from Peters Church.
We received loots of tips from the people that meet us upon our arrival at the apartment.
Huge problem that the street door lock didn't work!
We won't hesitate to come back.

Moore, who recovered from a foot injury in time to play a few snaps and catch one four-yard pass in the opener vs. Western Kentucky, should be available for much more extensive service in Game 2 vs. UCLA.
Jones, who missed Game 1 due to a high-ankle sprain, continues to increase his practice activities and could make his 2009 debut Saturday against the Bruins.
Noting that UCLA surrendered just 39 rushing yards in last weekend's 33-14 defeat of San Diego State, UT head coach Lane Kiffin said the Vols are "going to need to get our passing game going a lot.
"Hopefully, Gerald Jones will come back this week, Denarius Moore hopefully will be 100 percent healthy, and we can team those two guys with the rest of the guys that made a number of plays last week."
Jones caught a team-high 30 passes last season and projected to be Tennessee's go-to receiver in 2009 before suffering his ankle injury in an Aug. 22 scrimmage. Moore averaged a team-best 24.6 yards per catch last fall and registered four of Tennessee's longest receptions of 2008 - a 63-yarder vs. Kentucky, a 60-yarder vs. Georgia, a 52-yarder vs. Northern Illinois and a 45-yarder vs. Mississippi State.
Moore could've played a bigger role in Game 1 if he'd been needed. Because he didn't get a full week of practice prior to the opener, however, his timing with quarterback Jonathan Crompton was not sharp.
"We didn't want to risk the timing being off, having not thrown to him very much, so we went more with our receivers who had been practicing with Jonathan," Kiffin said. "But it was good to get (Moore) a few reps in there, and we look for him to play a lot more this week, hopefully."
If Jones and Moore are unable to make major contributions this weekend, Tennessee will need its freshman wideouts to play as well as they did last weekend. Marsalis Teague led all receivers with six catches for 86 yards and a touchdown. Nu'keese Richardson chipped in three grabs for 30 yards and Zach Rogers one for 11 yards.
The strong play of the three rookies has significantly improved Tennessee's passing attack.
"It's created a really competitive environment," Kiffin said. "The best players will play, regardless of how old they are or what they've done before. Marsalis was an example of that. He ended up starting the game for us because he performed the best in practice."
Even if Jones is available for Game 2 there's no guarantee he'll start.
"Gerald, at the point he got hurt, was by far our No. 1 receiver," Kiffin said. "But Gerald's going to have to come back and prove it again. Marsalis isn't going to just let him take his spot. It's great to have (that kind of competition). If we can get that at every position someday, then we'll be really good."

Tristin and Tyler, 9, Riverdale, Bronx
How did you celebrate your ninth birthday?
Ty We went to see—
Tr Monsters, Inc.!
Ty I invited my best, best, bestest, best friend, Sebastian. Usually we go to Chuck E. Cheese. I wouldn't be surprised if we even went there when we turned two!
You guys star in your own Web videos. Do you want to be in the spotlight forever?
Ty Not really. I want to be an entrepreneur someday.
Wow! Nice word. Do you know what it means?
Ty It means you can be a lot of things. So I want to be a basketball player and make comic books.
And you, Tristin?
Tr I want to work at the Art Farm in the City because I really like animals, or be a lawyer like my mommy. And some people think it's weird, but...
Ty He wants to be a fashion designer!
Awesome! What kinds of clothes would you make?
Tr Depends on the weather. If it's cold, darker. If it's hot, lighter clothes. If it's just in the middle, it'll probably be something like light brown or dark green.
Any summer plans?
Tr We go to a hotel in New Jersey. It has a Jacuzzi, which my mommy likes.
Ty And one time, I did a front flip in the pool.

An accountant was forced out of her job with Britain's largest commercial property company because of her foreign accent, a tribunal heard.
Marian Herron, 59, claims she was sacked in a "sham redundancy process" the day before Land Securities announced a £378.9 million profit.
Ms Herron, originally from Singapore, was a £40,000-a-year service charge administrator for the FTSE 100 firm.
She says bosses singled her out because of her foreign accent, coupled with the fact she was nearing retirement age.
She was made redundant in a reshuffle last November, despite a good performance and having never taken a day off sick.
The London Central employment tribunal heard that a much younger temporary worker in her department was given a permanent job the previous week.
Under cross-examination, senior manager Amy Hayward denied discrimination on the grounds of race or age.
But she said that during the cuts she had considered telling one manager to apply for a new job the woman had no chance of getting.
Michael Tanney, for Ms Herron, asked: "It is a sham redundancy process isn't it? Did you contemplate a sham redundancy process at any point?"
Ms Hayward admitted: "Yes." She also agreed it "defied logic" not to consider past performance of workers when they were forced to re-apply for their jobs.
Land Securities' portfolio includes some of the country's largest shopping centres.
The tribunal heard that Ms Herron, whose job involved calculating service charges for tenants, had been working at the company's head office in the Strand.
It was told the firm "restructured" her department last summer, cutting staff numbers from 22 to 12.
The tribunal also heard that the young temporary employee taken on permanently days before the redundancy process kept her job despite her lack of experience.
Ms Hayward denied that the process was rigged and that Ms Herron was made redundant unfairly because of her age and accented English.
Many staff involved in implementing the redundancy process had since lost their jobs, the tribunal heard.
Ms Herron is claiming for unfair dismissal as well as race and age discrimination. The hearing continues.

I know a lot of you are new to Chicago and hopefully you're finding your way around and enjoying yourselves so far. Now that Core has started, and with the quarter less than two weeks away, I'm sure you're picking up on the fact that your free time is about to significantly diminish. Nonetheless, I wanted to let everyone know about some of the stuff Chicago has to offer for free and cheap throughout the month. As you might have noticed, this city spends a lot of money on entertainment so that broke grad students don't have to.
Author Archives: Alicia Bleuer
Administratively Yours: A Pre-Quarter Checklist
Welcome to your MAPH year! As you all know, Core starts for us two weeks before most of the rest of campus digs into the fall quarter and things get seriously busy in Hyde Park. I know Core keeps everyone busy, but you might want to try to use these two weeks on campus to get some of your administrative running around done. Here's a checklist of some of the stuff MAPH and the U of C want you to take care of ASAP.
Get Your Wine On (for the sake of Caffeine)
In Fine Spirits is hosting a wine-tasting benefit to support the 5th season of Caffeine Theatre. Check out the press release, the event.
Join us for a wine tasting at In Fine Spirits – recently named Chicago's Best Wine Bar by the Chicago Reader! Not to mention they are a foodie's dream!
Enjoy Your Sales Tax: Millennium Park Blockbuster Week
One of the things Chicago does very well is outdoor entertainment. Because there's nothing fun to be done outside for so many weeks out of the year, the city goes into hyper-atonement mode in the summer, and Millennium Park is the final resting place for a lot of city funding. This includes Millennium Park Blockbuster Week, the Park's end-of-summer big bang line-up of arts entertainment. Continue reading
