Conditions do not work with radio buttonsAsked by jgarcia_fbee on May 24, 2016 at 02:24 PM
My form URL: https://form.jotform.com/61445760296158
I have tried to add conditions where when a user selects a particular package, the following group of fields would show, but when I apply the conditions, either all the fields show, or none do.
Please advise!
I think your issue is caused by the fact that HTML tag is inserted inside the radio buttons label. Only the Text field should contain HTML, other fields labels are meant for text only.
Although I would not encourage to leave those HTML inside the labels, you could get the conditions to work with them by adding calculation values to the radio buttons. This can be accessed from the field properties. Clone preview: https://form.jotform.com/61446352296964.
But note that, this might cause some unexpected result if you were to perform calculation with the radio button field.

My post on Airports Where Uber Pickup is Allowed has been so popular, I wanted to follow it up with a list of airports where Lyft pickup is allowed. Lyft is available in just 206 cities across 32 states, but I've always had a great experience using the service and would absolutely recommend keeping the Lyft app on your phone. For starters, there are times when Uber may not be available or surge pricing is especially high – Lyft might be cheaper and you might have credits to cover the fare. In addition, Lyft beat Uber to the punch in getting approved for pickups and drop-offs at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport. With rideshare apps not necessarily being treated the same by airport authorities, it's best not to rely too heavily on one service.
While researching airports where Lyft pickups are allowed, I was quite surprised to find that Lyft has two pages listing this information. I was consequently able to use this information to generate a single list of airports where Lyft pickup is allowed:
- Austin-Bergstrom Airport (AUS)
- Burbank Bop Hope Airport (BUR)
- Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport (STS) – Drop-off only
- Chicago O'Hare Airport (ORD)
- Chicago Midway Airport (MDW)
- Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG)
- Dallas Fort Worth Airport (DFW)
- Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL)
- Denver International Airport (DIA)
- Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL)
- Indianapolis International Airport (IND)
- John Wayne Airport (SNA)
- Las Vegas McCarran Inernational Airport (LAS)
- Los Angeles International (LAX)
- Louisville International Airport (SDF)
- Memphis International Airport (MEM)
- Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP)
- Modesto City-County Airport (MOD)
- Nashville International Airport (BNA)
- Norfolk International Airport (ORF)
- Oakland International Airport (OAK)
- Omaha Eppley Airfield (OMA)
- Ontario International Airport (ONT) – Drop-off only
- Orlando International Airport (MCO) – Drop-off only
- Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) – Drop-off only
- Pittsburgh Airport International Airport (PIT)
- Portland International Airport (PDX)
- Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU)
- Reno–Tahoe International Airport (RNO) – Drop-off only
- San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
- Sacramento International Airport (SMF)
- San Diego International Airport (SAN)
- Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC)
- San Antonio International Airport (SAT)
- San Jose International Airport (SJC) – Drop-off only
- Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (SBA)
- Van Nuys Airport (VNY) – Drop-off only
- Washington DC Airports (DCA and IAD)
Some airports have specific rules about where passengers can be picked up and dropped off by Lyft drivers. For example, at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, Lyft passengers must meet their drivers in a designated parking garage. Terminal 1 passengers get picked up on Level 2M while Terminal 3 passengers meet their drivers on the Valet Level. Meanwhile, Lyft passengers dropping off a rental car at the McCarran Rental Car Center get picked up on the far left lane next to the Taxi loading area. Lyft drop-offs at McCarran International Airport are much simpler: Passengers are dropped off in the departure area, just like any other ride.
The one time I rented a car at McCarran International, getting to the rental center was especially inconvenient and time-consuming. I would have been better off walking to my destination. Being able to use a rideshare service like Lyft would have been particularly convenient in that scenario.
Lyft is growing slower than Uber, but their services have continued to expand to major airports. Hopefully, there will be a time when Lyft services as many airports as Uber. In the meantime, I will update this page as more airports get approved for Lyft pickup. If you don't have a Lyft account yet, you can earn $20 towards your first ride by using my Lyft referral link.
Have you used Lyft for airport pickups? Which airport are you hoping Lyft expands to next?

CEO says CMSD "shook the status quo to its core"
The Cleveland Metropolitan School District is making good on a vow to revamp a failing culture, CEO Eric Gordon said Tuesday in the annual State of the Schools address.
In his half-hour speech, Gordon took an audience of more than 850 on a trip back through a year of needed "disruption" and recounted shifts that, driven by reforms in
The Cleveland Plan
, have begun reshaping the District.
"The 2013-14 school year will likely be remembered as the year that CMSD shook the status quo to its core and kept our promise to taxpayers and voters that the District cannot and will not tolerate business as usual in an any area," he said to applause in the ballroom of the Cleveland Renaissance Hotel.
Hosted by the
City Club of Cleveland
, the address laid out sweeping reforms spurred by the state-sanctioned education plan, a landmark collective-bargaining agreement with the Cleveland Teachers Union and Issue 107, a four-year levy that generated the District's first new operating funds in 16 years.
The CEO plowed through a checklist of old ways now gone: cycles of budget deficits and layoffs, perfunctory teacher evaluations, automatic pay raises and decisions based on the interests of adults, not children.
Gordon noted that the District instituted rigorous evaluations, tied compensation to student achievement and ushered out 42 administrators and teachers for poor performance. Of more than 2,800 classroom teachers, only 14 percent have received the top rating of accomplished.
CMSD was able to recruit for the first time in years, hiring 232 teachers for openings largely created by retirements and 27 principals and assistant principals. The District transferred much of the authority over spending and hiring to individual schools, allowing them to fill 85 percent of open positions with input from the community.
"The disruption of the 2013-14 school year was more than a shift in organizational culture," Gordon said. "It was truly a top-to-bottom overhaul of the entire Cleveland public school system – a year of disruption that yielded real, tangible results."
Turning to academic improvements, Gordon listed four new high school models that join a list of innovative and high-performing options.
Bard High School Early College, operated in partnership with Bard College of New York, allows students to
earn both a high school diploma and associate degree in four years
. The Cleveland High School for Digital Arts, developed in conjunction with the Center for Arts-Inspired Learning,
integrates filmmaking, game design and recording-arts technology
with core courses.
Two other schools were started with the help of $3 million from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. E3agle Academy and PACT (Problem-based Academy of Critical Thinking) feature promotion based on mastery of standards, flexible scheduling and a blend of classroom and online instruction.
At the same time, the District has targeted low-performing
Investment Schools
for aggressive intervention and started working with private providers to expand access to high-quality preschool
through the PRE4CLE initiative
The CEO drew more applause when he referred to a focus on parent engagement and its results. Honoring a requirement in
The Cleveland Plan
, 73 percent of parents had face-to-face contact with teachers last school year. attendance at this month's open houses jumped 26 percent for K-8 schools and 9 percent for high schools.
Though CMSD met none of the indicators on its recently released state report card, the District improved on 15 standards and the overall performance index fell one-tenth of percentage point shy of its all-time high. The performance index is a composite of all test scores.
The District's graduation rate reached a record 64.3 percent. The mark is up 5 percentage points from last year and has risen 12 points since Gordon was appointed as CEO three years ago.
Though the information is not on the report, alternative tests helped drive third-grade reading proficiency to 86 percent, allowing those children to comply with Ohio's Third Grade Guarantee and earn promotion. Only 37 percent of third-graders were on track last fall.
Gordon acknowledged that trying to raise achievement in Cleveland or other urban districts may seem like the futile chore of Sisyphus, the mythic king consigned for eternity to push a boulder uphill, only to have it roll back downhill again and again.
But the CEO said the District has lots of helpers pushing, including Mayor Frank G. Jackson, school leadership, the Cleveland Teachers Union, business, foundations and numerous community partners.
"Two years ago, the Cleveland Metropolitan School District faced academic and fiscal bankruptcy. The District's assignment to an Academic Distress Commission seemed inevitable," he said. "Skeptics scoffed at any suggestion that CMSD could survive, but the pulse of this remarkable city proved them wrong."
After he finished speaking, Gordon took questions from members of the audience, including several students. A third-grader from Newton D. Baker School stole hearts when she stepped to the microphone and asked how he found time for all of his work.
"I don't have many bad days," the CEO responded. "But when I do, I go to a school and meet someone just like you."
Gordon took in stride a question from a teacher who challenged the expenditure of $9,000 over two years for each of 40 candidates hired through Teach for America. The organization supplies applicants who come from other occupations or courses of study.
The CEO said he was inclined to be "agnostic to the form and seek the quality." He said the District's new teachers are "wonderful," regardless of the route they took to their jobs.
Leaving the ballroom, Sonya Pryor-Jones, director of the Cleveland Central Promise Neighborhood initiative, said she was "encouraged by the progress the District is making as a whole." The Promise Neighborhood initiative, which is led by the Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland and includes CMSD, seeks to organize services that take children in the impoverished East Side area from cradle to college and careers.
"If the District is successful as a whole, our work can be successful," she said.
West Side Councilman Matt Zone said Gordon "nailed it."
"I think we are headed in the right direction," Zone said. "I'm just hoping the community will have patience and believe in the leadership there to execute the plan."

LOS ANGELES ŌĆō Dealership chain AutoNation Inc. has typical management positions such as CEO and chief operating officer, but it also has new-age job titles not usually found on a corporate hierarchy.
ThereŌĆÖs the ŌĆ£chief blog officerŌĆØ whose duties include surfing the Internet for web logs that might affect or mention AutoNation and contributing commentary when appropriate.
Then thereŌĆÖs the ŌĆ£chief Facebook and Twitter officerŌĆØ who monitors tweets, sends out articles to various websites and posts photos of satisfied customers and their cars on Facebook.
They are part of a 3-person marketing team that is championing AutoNationŌĆÖs social-media effort to engage with customers in untraditional ways, says Gary Marcotte, the firmŌĆÖs senior vice president-marketing.
He spoke about that at the 2010 Automotive Social Media Summit here. For the presentation on how to connect to young buyers in informal ways, he wore a Hawaiian shirt instead of a suit and tie.
ŌĆ£This is not about selling cars or making offers, itŌĆÖs about making connections and maybe, just maybe, theyŌĆÖll trust us so that, when they do buy a car, theyŌĆÖll buy from us,ŌĆØ Marcotte says.
In the growing world of social-media, AutoNation wants to be the ŌĆ£un-dealer,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£We say and do things you would never expect a dealer to say or do.ŌĆØ
That includes asking people to write reviews of AutoNation cars they bought. Whether good or bad, those assessments are posted on the companyŌĆÖs website and Facebook pages.
It also includes answering consumersŌĆÖ questions on such topics as the true cost of cars, markups and how financing works. Another aspect of the program are videos, such as one of an AutoNation mechanic explaining whatŌĆÖs under the hood.
ŌĆ£Part of being a good dealer is just answering peopleŌĆÖs questions,ŌĆØ Marcotte says. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre just going to put it out there. Hopefully, people will think better of us. WeŌĆÖll see.ŌĆØ
Coming soon are postings of customers relating their experiences of buying, owning and servicing their vehicles.
Many consumers distrust auto dealers, says Marcotte, citing data indicating dealer distrust at about 75%. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre here to wipe the slate clean. ItŌĆÖs a chance to redo things. ThereŌĆÖs a whole new world out there.ŌĆØ
AutoNationŌĆÖs social-media experimentation ŌĆ£makes a lot of people real nervous,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£But putting the AutoNation process out there for all to see makes the industry better. And it doesnŌĆÖt cost a lot.ŌĆØ
AutoNation tracks online interactions, Twitter responses and the like. But the firm is not focusing on the projectŌĆÖs bottom line, Marcotte says. ŌĆ£We didnŌĆÖt promise return on investment. We are not caught in the ROI trap. ItŌĆÖs liberating.ŌĆØ
He adds: ŌĆ£With social media, you are an invited guest in someone elseŌĆÖs community. We want to respect that and not do anything that would dishonor that commitment.ŌĆØ
From an overall marketing standpoint, social media allows dealers to engage with customers continually, not just when they are buying a car, says Adam Simms, dealer principal at Sunnyvale (CA) Toyota, known for its Internet innovations.
ŌĆ£If you donŌĆÖt get high in the funnel, you will be left behind,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£Dealers have tended to work on the conversion rate in the lower part of the funnel. But the higher you are, the better and the more cost effective.ŌĆØ

Kel Tek and SR9C
2 Attachment(s)
I picked up a very clean Kel Tek P11 last night for $200. I took it to the indoor range today. My wife went with me and I surprised her with a new Ruger SR9C. Our anniverary is this Saturday. I traded in my Kel Tek PF9. She usually complains I am buying too many guns but this time she just said thank you.
The 1st target (03) is the P11 at 7 yds. I fired 10 rnds of Fiocchi 115 HP and it did not like it. No jams but it was low and spread. The next rnds were 147gr flat nose AE and it liked them.
The 2nd target (04) is my wife shooting the SR9C at 7yds. She shot a combination of 115gr Blaser Brass and Fiocchi 115gr HP. Aside from one bad flier, she did very well. No jams
Cool beans. :cool:
That is very nice.

We live in a duplex were upstairs and the guy downstairs has a pitbull love the dog to death but my goodness is he loud. Our across the street neighbors have little yappy dogs that I swear sometimes I'd like to put a muzzle on. Fortunately our next to us neighbors dog doesn't bark unless he has to. He's a police dog.
Comment deleted
my neighbor downstairs and I currently have a no-contact order because about a week ago he tried to break into my house demanding i give up the for lack of a better word poo-tang. so no i haven't because legally if i speak to him that voids the order and makes it perfectly reasonable for him to text and call and irritate me. his ex is my best friend and he likes to play target practice with me now since she has a pfa on him.
how is it going now? hope the dog is not big...
The dog has settled down for now. He just gets left alone a lot and like I said his(the neighbors) ex and I are really close so the dog and I have a sort of bond and until everything happened I used to be able to go let him upstairs with me for awhile during the day but now that we have the no-contact order he pad locks his house and just leaves the poor dog in there all day and half the night by himself. He's kind of an ass I'd really like to punch him.

"At least 10 METs x hours per week in aerobic exercise is required for visceral fat reduction." What does this mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 20:55, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
can this page be edited —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 23:20, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Original discussion[edit]
A the request of someone on the Spanish-language wikipedia, I did my best here to translate the more extensive material on this topic from the Spanish-language wikipedia. This really needs review now by a competent biologist, because I am a total layman attempting translation of technical material.
Also, in searching for vocabulary I came across http://www.lab.anhb.uwa.edu.au/mb140/CorePages/Connective/Connect.htm, which looks to my layman's eyes to be very solid and informative. I suspect it is a good mine of information and that one or more articles should include it in their external links. However, since it's totally outside my field, I can't judge it, so I'm leaving the linking to someone with a clue.
-- Jmabel 07:45, 28 Jan 2004 (UTC)
The article looks good to me; I am not a biologist, having taken only college biology courses, but I have some familiarity with the terminology. So if someone else reads the article and thinks it's okay, it's probably worth taking out the notice. Andrew 09:50, Apr 14, 2004 (UTC)
The article is a nice concise overview. I am removing the notice and making a few small edits. E.g, zootomy means cutting up animals; zoology is doubtless intended. alteripse 29 apr 04
This was already pretty good, but I had a further play before checking the talk page - i must stop doing that!! fixed a few links and hopefully clarified and emphasised the main points. the only thing I'm unsure of ist the adipose panniculus, which i've never heard. it'd be great if somebody could check my changes for typos! --Erich gasboy 05:46, 2 May 2004 (UTC)
- Pannus and panniculus refer to the "apron" of fat hanging from the abdomen downwards in severe obesity. I am not aware of any difference in the two words and they are used interchangably (although etymologically the one is the diminutive of the other and they are rarely diminutive when worth discussing in a medical context). A large pannus or panniculus complicates surgery of the morbidly obese, and may remain as a literal "apron of skin" if a severely obese person loses most of the excess weight (as after a bypass). Maybe I'll add this to the article. Alteripse 13:29, 2 May 2004 (UTC)
- I fail to see what the para about the panniculus has to do with actual definition or description of fat on the human body, nor why it should be described in full on this article when it has its own Pannus Panniculus. Suggest rewording, or list as additional reading. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 14:07, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
- looks good! so what do you do for a day job Alteripse? --Erich gasboy 13:46, 2 May 2004 (UTC) Can't you guess? I teach Latin (and sometimes other things) to our residents. Alteripse 14:31, 2 May 2004 (UTC) ..mmm that makes you an ?old Indianna endrocrinologist??? :-) --Erich gasboy 14:38, 2 May 2004 (UTC) ?old=!ouch but reasonable deducing Alteripse 14:45, 2 May 2004 (UTC) he he. sorry us aussies aren't big on decorum... have you dropped by the Wiki doctors mess? --Erich gasboy 14:53, 2 May 2004 (UTC)
Thanks to Prometheus, the god's portion of a typical Ancient Greek animal sacrifice consisted of bones and internal organs covered with adipose tissue. Perhaps a link should be in the mythology section and not here.

good point. I'll make a stubb ;-) Erich 01:56, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
How about adding a stub to the "Adipocyte" entry. Because a tissue is something cpmpletely different than a certain type of cells? --Frosty 21:24, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Improvement drive[edit]
Obesity has been nominated to be improved on Wikipedia:This week's improvement drive. Vote for it there to support the article.--Fenice 20:15, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
Social and Cultural significance[edit]
This section should be exclusively about the social and cultural significance of adipose tissue. Issues about body shape should be (and are) on the obesity page. Zargulon 15:40, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
- I don't think this article needs to mention social and cultural significance of adipose tissue. Most people wouldn't even know what it is. JFW | T@lk 16:19, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
I agree. I didn't want to completely rock the boat, since I guess someone put it there for a reason. But I personally would agree with changing the title of that section , or getting rid of it altogether. Zargulon 16:27, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
I also agree. I jumped straight down to the social and cultural section, and there was two lines that linked to other pages. This section should be cut. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 19:18, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
On the Dieting page(the exact quote is at the end of this post) it states that body fat has a large amount of carbon mass. I was wondering if it is possible for a picture of the body fat molecules to be drawn, like was done for Hydrogen_peroxide and Lipid?
I did see the molecule picture on triglyceride and lipid, but is there one for regular fat?
"The exhalation of carbon in carbon dioxide comes from carbon mass in the body, a substantial amount of which in turn comes from fat. Essentially the greater part of body fat, the long carbon chains, is lost from the body by breathing."
Bryan 11:15, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
- body fats (and vegetable fats) consist mostly of triglycerides. The exact chain lengths are highly variable. Han-Kwang 20:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Adrenergicand andronergic receptors[edit]
From the article:
- In humans, lipolysis is controlled though the balanced control of lipolytic B-adrenergic receptors and a2A-andronergic receptor mediated antilioplysis
I think I understand about half of these words. Does this belong in Wikipedia? Han-Kwang 20:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
So when someone gets fatter do new adipose cells get created or are the old ones growing?--Energman 19:13, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Mostly the cells enlarge. But mammals turn over their fat cells all the time. Old ones die (by apoptosis) and new ones are formed from precursors - so new cells are being created all the time. I am not aware of a good literature on absolute adipocyte turnover rates although some drugs (thiazolidinediones) seem to have big effects on this process. However the issue in obesity is mostly increased cell volume. S.w.coppack 18:23, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Merge proposal[edit]
I can't see why these three terms need their own articles; I can't see them being developed much further and they could easily be accommodated within this one (or another more appropriate?) - any thoughts? Madmedea 19:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge - I can see them growing to deserve their own articles eventually—especially Visceral fat. But I'd STANK agree for right now, when the three subarticles are just stubs, it makes sense to merge them.David.Throop 22:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- No Merge - I vote for allowing the other articles to grow. They are distinct enough physiologically to warrant the independent articles. Intramuscular fat is longer than this article!Mabris 21:35, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
There is an important distinction. Subcutaneous fat and visceral fat are clearly adipose tissue. They should be merged. Intramuscular fat is different. Sometimes, when there is a lot of intramuscular fat, one gets identifiable adipose tissue in the muscle. However in lean animals (and people) there will be just triglyceride stores in the myocytes (muscle cells) plus or minus a few isolated adipocytes between the muscle fibres. Intramuscular fat should not be merged - it should be referenced. Caroline Pond's citation explains all this. S.w.coppack 18:28, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Sources for lipid content[edit]
I have a few questions about the statement "Human fat tissue contains about 87% lipids." Can anyone point to a scientific source that states that particular number? Also, I am wondering what the remaining 13% are. Enclosed water? Proteins? It would be great if someone could clarify and corroborate that statement. Mirko Raner 23:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
--> Also, it would be great to know which lipids (ie which fatty acids are stored, or make up the triglycerides stored in adipose). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 09:37, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Cells making up Adipose Tissue[edit]
This article currently does not mention whether obesity (or excess adipose tissue) is caused by an increased number of adipose cells, or from enlarged adipose cells, or both. It is an important point to clarify in this article. Does anyone have access to a source for this?Mehrshad123 01:40, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- I asked a similar thing in "Growth" above and I got no answer --Energman 14:26, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Most models of obesity are mostly due to cellular enlargement, although slightly increased numbers are also seen. For example very obese humans might have 10 fold increased fat mass compared to skinny people. Most of this will be from cellular expansion. The adipocyte volumes might increase 4-5 fold, with a 2 fold increase in number. The Cinti reference cited covers this. S.w.coppack 18:17, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Merging Visceral fat[edit]
No Merge - I think that merging visceral fat article into the main Adipose is a bad idea; there are some important distinctions, and a lot of new research being currently done in this area. More content should be added. 184.108.40.206 20:57, 25 May 2007 (UTC) Caterina Pryde 5/25/07
No Merge - Agreed - viceral fat is being blamed for many medical conditions. Reports in the media suggest that viceral fat cells give off substances that negatively affect the heart and other organs in ways that subcutaneous fat does not. From a public health perspective, I think it deserves to be separate, even if it is just a subset of fatty tissues in general. MarkinBoston 21:43, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Merge - Agreed. Visceral fat is a sort of adipose tissue. To exclude it suggests that it is not. Until the Adipose tissue topic becomes unweildy, I would include visceral fat. S.w.coppack 18:10, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
I believe this post was intend to be a vote for merging. Based on the content his/her post, I believe S.w.coppack intended to agreed with merging, rather that the post above him/her. I am placing a bold merge/no merge in from of each post for clarity.Bpage 08:46, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Merge - I think both visceral fat and subcutaneous fat should be merged here. They are types of adipose tissue. None of the three articles are particularly long. Merging them would result in a more clear understand of any of the three subjects.Bpage 08:46, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
No Merge – While I think that both subcutaneous fat and visceral fat should be subsections under adipose tissue in their current state, they should have their own articles eventually, as they are rather distinct. Merging them into Adipose tissue would lessen the imperative to expand the stubs as they now exist, which I think would be a step in the wrong direction. I have linked them in the current article to emphasize the connection, but maintain that they should not be merged. ~XarBioGeek (talk) 01:33, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Human Examples[edit]
Another comment. I think readers are more interested in the distribution of Adipose Tissue in Humans rather than in Mice. [E. A.] 16 August 2007
- definitely. i just was reading this and was unclear why one example of distribution is there and it was not for humans. i would expect one example to be a human example and several examples to be those of studied animals, which of course would unnecessarily lengthen the article. had i the expertise i would change it. i hope someone does. thank you. - Lambajan 20:33, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
Request: How many usable Joules per kilogram of fat? Same as food energy amount?[edit]
How efficient is the human body in storing energy? How much is effectively used after storing and re-burning? --Sigmundur (talk) 20:36, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Fat tissue is made up mostly of triglycerides, which store 9 kilocalories (kcal) per gram. However, since adipose tissue also contains some water, proteins, and other substances, total energy storage per gram of adipose tissue is about 8 kcal, or 1.9 kilojoules. This much can be found and cited all over the web.
- (I know in Europe it's common to speak of food and fat energy in terms of joules, but in the US we use calories. My kcal numbers are correct, but you might want to double-check my conversion into joules.)
- Keep in mind that adipose makes up only one third of weight gained or lost by energy imbalance. In other words, for every kg of adipose tissue gained or lost by overeating or food restriction, an additional 1 kg of supporting muscle tissue and 1 kg of water is also gained or lost along with the adipose. However, when beginning a calorie-restricted weight loss diet, a disproportionate amount of the weight initially lost is water because we first burn off glycogen stores (a dissolved carbohydrate), which yields 4 kcal per gram but must be dissolved in water equaling 3 times its weight. I learned this stuff in college (got a PhD in nutrition), but it was in the mid 1990s, and we had no textbook for that class. Finding a citation for this would require some effort.
- Dietary fat (triglyceride) yields 9 kilocalories, or about 2.2 kilojoules per gram. Should this info be in the article? Dcs002 (talk) 04:37, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Abdominal fat vs visceral fat[edit]
Titling the section Visceral fat makes it clearer because
- ) that is where Visceral fat directs.
- ) Abdominal fat (MeSH A10.165.114.160) includes both visceral/intra-abdominal fat and subcutaneous fat, abdominal) So calling it just abdominal fat (unless it covers both visceral and subcutaneous fat in the abdominal area) is confusing. Zodon (talk) 07:02, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
As an obesity researcher in the US (1997-2002), the term I heard most often (by far) in professional circles was "central," not abdominal or visceral. Dcs002 (talk) 04:03, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Adipose-derived hormones[edit]
I removed angiotensin from this list because angiotensinogen is made in the liver and converted to angiotensin in the blood. I looked around for a source that says it's derived from fat tissue and couldn't find one.
Also, I have to say that I'm uncomfortable with cytokines like TNF-alpha and IL-6 being in this list. Hormones are endocrine by definition, meaning they are released into the blood and act at a remote location. Cytokines are generally paracrine, meaning they are released from the cell and act locally (on nearby cells), or autocrine, meaning they are released from the cell and act on surface receptors on the cell that just released them. Does anyone know of a true endocrine function of adipose-derived TNF-alpha and IL-6, and if so, do you have a source?
I'm sorry if I'm mistaken about these issues -- I'm a teacher, and I used to be an obesity researcher (used angiotensin II and leptin in my work), but I'm getting older... Dcs002 (talk) 09:19, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
References should follow wikipedia guideline (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#Scholarship) and not contain advertisment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 15:18, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
Adipose disambig instead of redirect?[edit]
I don't remember the conventions about disambiguation pages. Should adipose be a disambiguation page instead of a redirect to here? Few readers really needed to see the hatnote about the Dr. Who monster, and there's also adipose fin and adipose gene. --Dan Wylie-Sears 2 (talk) 05:32, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
I don't think Adipose should be a disambiguation page, but I think instead of the hatnote we should link to Adipose (disambiguation) which can list other uses, as well. ~rezecib (talk) 07:30, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
More needed[edit]
Please upload more images for this article. Pdiddyjr (talk) 16:33, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
What's with the section on mice fat?[edit]
How exactly does this contribute to this article? I understand that research on mice is important in scientific research, but isn't the point of Wikipedia to further the knowledge of most readers, not scientists? Granted, like many pages in biology, this encyclopaedia talks about more than humans (animals too) but it just seems out of place to me. Am I missing something? meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 23:07, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
Possible contradiction on subcutaneous fat as adipose tissue[edit]
On section "Anatomical features" is is stated that "In humans, adipose tissue is located beneath the skin (subcutaneous fat)". Nevertheless, in the "Abdominal fat" sub-section the last sentence of the first paragraph states "Visceral fat is considered adipose tissue whereas subcutaneous fat is not considered as such".
I hope this helps LaFiebre (talk) 06:56, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
What is the name of brain-fat and low-priority-energy-usage-fat?[edit]
I know that both Brain fat and sometime other fats like Lipomastic fat aren't beta-oxidised easily for energy, either by a natural mechanism (to preserve the brain) or by a metabolic problem (Lipomastia in Men).
What is the name of such Adipose tissue? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ben-Yeudith (talk • contribs) 10:52, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

London, August, 2015
Long time JSW readers probably are tired of my saying how great London is, but it is.
We stopped by here just for two nights after the cruise to get our fix, to say nothing about our Virgin Upper Class flight using mileage.
We have been fortunate in staying in so many great hotels here, but we are set now. We are at the Covent Garden Hotel smack dab in the most fun part of town. It has all the plusses with none of the minuses. For example it is tiny hotel where they know everybody, yet they have a full gym and food 24/7. Our room, even though right on the street, is absolutely silent.
No stay in London is complete without theatre. Tonight was Gypsy. Imelda Staunton, who plays Rose, will win this year's Olivier (London's Tony) for Best Actress in a Musical. You heard it here first. I will report back, either way, in the spring when the official results come out.
29 Aug 2015
Livorno, Italy, 2015
Most people left the ship for 12 hours or so to round trip Florence, a wonderful city. May others visited Pisa, also a fun day.
Since today was the last full day on the cruise anyway, and we have already done all that, we decided to hop on, hop off, around Livorno, which is always a good low-key way to get a city overview
The day way perfect for an open-air drive.
Beaches are scarce here. They do their best though.
They have a Venice canal thing going on here.
Jews thrived here in the 17th Century because the powerful Medici's welcomed them, openly acknowledging how good they were for the community.
Unfortunately the old synagogue was destroyed during WW II. This new modern one was built in the 60s.
28 Aug 2015
Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, 2015
After docking in Monaco this morning we headed to Saint-Paul-de-Vence, an old medieval town on the French Riviera, well known for its modern and contemporary art museums and galleries.
The drive itself along the Cote d'Azur alone makes the trip worthwhile. Here we are passing Eze Village.
We saw lots of weird stuff.
We saw fun stuff.
The highlight definitely was Marc Chagall's Le Vie, an enormous canvass that recaps his life. It was painted in 1964 for the opening of the Maeght Gallery that we are visiting here.
27 Aug 2015
St. Tropez, 2015
It's official. I'm getting old. I have been to St. Tropez countless times and never before have I not gone to the beach.
But I sure had a great day with Allyn, my model. She shopped. I tagged along for a while.
Later we went back in for dinner at L'Escale.
26 Aug 2015
Cassis, France 2015
Driving through Marseilles on the way to Cassis.
Although we docked in Marseilles, we decided to visit Cassis today. Since we have been to Marseilles several times, I suggested it might be fun to learn about Crème de Cassis. Little did I know that they are not related whatsoever. Oh well.
We took a cute little tourist train in from the outskirts of Cassis.
Cassis is a former quiet fishing village turned into a busy, yet not crazy, tourist spot. As August is coming to the end we can feel the crowds dissipating in the South of France.

Special Report: Equipment
Watch any program about paranormal investigation and you'll see the teams involved working with all kinds of strange and interesting equipment. While some of those gizmos are far too expensive for the weekend ghost hunter, or require a degree in physics to use, others are commonly found in the paranormal investigator's gear bag. One of these items, the infra-red thermometer, is most often used to locate and document the presence of drastic temperature variances, the proverbial "cold spots." Because it was designed to measure temperature without physical contact, it is ideal for measuring the ambient temperature of any suspected haunted location. Of course, few, if any, of these programs will hold up their gear for examination, much less tell their viewers where to get them. In fact, there is a wide range of these gadgets from several producers that few have heard of. That being the case, we at Cold Spots acquired a few of these lovely toys for our own brand of testing and product review.
Fluke 62-mini
Fluke Corporation
The Fluke Corporation makes a wide range of meters and gauges, including thermal imagers and calibrators. As one of the leaders in the field of professional equipment, it is not surprising that their 62-mini digital IR-Thermometer is a high quality gadget. Field-testing this tool was fun and easy, and, despite a few minor flaws, we give this item high marks.
The Good
– Comfortable – With a molded pistol-grip-style design, the 62-mini is easy to carry around.
– Backlight – The digital readout is made all the better by a back-lit display.
– Laser-Guided – The single-point red laser tracking system allows the user to instantly tell where the sensor is aimed.
– Carrying Case – It comes with a belt-attachable carrying case.
The Not-So-Good
– Temperature Setting – The switch to move between Fahrenheit and Celsius in in an inconvenient spot: Under the battery cover, which is located beneath the front of the main pistol grip.
– Slightly Heavier – The 62-mini weighs only slightly more than other pistol-grip IR-Thermometers.
Price Range: $88.99 – $124.95
Omega OS561
Omega Engineering
Not to be outdone, Omega Engineering has come out with an impressive IR-Thermometer in the OS561. Its slick design makes some improvements over its competitors, but it still falls short in a few places. Our testing protocols found it to be easy to use with a long-lasting power source and simple interface.
The Good
– Backlight – The digital display is large and backlit, making reading the display easy even in a dark room.
– Temperature Switch – The button to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius is conveniently located, where a flick of the thumb can make the change.
– Very Light – When holding a piece of equipment aloft for extended periods of time, even a few ounces and make a difference.
– Laser Guide – Takes the guess-work out of determining the direction of the sensor. However…
The Not-So-Good
– Laser Guide – Instead of a single pin-point of light, the OS561 emits a ring of red light with a target point in the center. While this is good for measuring the temperature of solid objects, it can be distracting for someone measuring the temperature of air, intangibles, or walking about through a darkened house.
– Less Comfortable – Though light and slick-looking, the overall feel of the OS561 is not quite right in the hand.
– No Case – A case can be purchased for an additional $12, which puts the piece into the same price range as its competitors.
Price: $85.00
LaCrosse IR-101
Lacrosse Technology
Looking around, LaCrosse Technology provides an alternative to people who are unable to drop a random hundred dollars on a gizmo for a misunderstood hobby. And lest anyone think that the lower price denotes lower quality, this gadget proved itself beside the others in this review, and came through as a genuine contender. Though it lacks a laser guide, it is still very accurate and convenient to use. Moreover, it is the type of equipment that fits nicely into a pocket, or can be worn around the neck, providing hands-free movement when necessary.
The Good
– Compact – The IR-101 weighs practically nothing, and fits easily into the palm of your hand.
– Backlight – Display lights up for easy reading.
– Inexpensive – Easily more affordable than the higher-end models.
– Convenient – Comes with both a carrying case and a lanyard, allowing the user to carry it and other items with ease.
The Not So Good
– Awkward – Because of the design, it is often difficult to read the display without moving the hand, sending the reading toward another object entirely.
– Not Intuitive – Switching between Fahrenheit and Celsius is a matter of clicking the reading button multiple times, a feature that can be confusing at first.
Price: $36.95 – $59.95
Bottom Line
A quality IR-Thermometer doesn't have to break the bank. Though some of the higher-end pieces do deservedly come with a higher price tag, there are functional models out there at a much lower price. More bells and whistles may not always be the right thing, and what appears to be a good idea for some uses falls flat for others. While the Fluke and Omega models are, without question, the best of the breed, hunters on a budget would do well to consider the LaCrosse model. There are other companies out there, for certain. Many offer comparable items, along with other equipment that ghost hunters can only dream of and drool over. These three, however, seemed to be the best pieces at the best prices.
Happy hunting!

Vitamin D drops
So I know that eggs, fish and milk have vitamin D as well as soaking up some time in the sun! Well I'm breastfeeding so I know she's getting vitamin D through me but our doctor wanted her to take tri-vitamin drops, which has vitamin D, A & C... I think it's unnecessary but I give them to her 3 times a week, just to keep her healthy.
Yea I didn't want to give them to her either, it was recommended for every day too, I thought that's really too much, plus she's already getting vitamins through my breast milk too. I take a prenatal/postnatal vitamin, so I'm sure she's very healthy!
Moms Expertise02/25/14
Actually, vitamin D can't bond with the breast milk. So it is the one vitamin that you are not able to transfer to your baby. That is why so many pediatricians recommend a daily vitamin. If you baby is formula fed, the formula has vitamin D.
yea, which is why i do give her the drops a few times each week.

News : Telkom Sees Complaints Surge
Johannesburg, South Africa, March 23, 2015 - After Telkom's decision not to renew the contracts of nearly 500 temporary call centre staff towards the end of last year, complaints about the call centres have increased by more than 6 000%.
So far this year, consumer complaint site Hellopeter has recorded 4 670 complaints against Telkom's service, 1 046 of which pertain to Telkom's call centres, bad service and lack of response or feedback. Between January and 19 March last year, 73 complaints were registered, 16 of which related to the company's call centres, bad service, and lack of feedback.
Telkom says there is no major core network fault that could be causing a surge in service disruptions. The company does, however, acknowledge it has an issue with its call centre, and is prioritising clearing the backlog, with hopes of improved service in the next few weeks.
In December, Telkom decided not to renew the contracts of 480 temporary call centre staff, moving the functionality in-house. At the time, the telco said it was comfortable it had sufficient capacity within its existing structures to manage queries and call volumes. Earlier this month, Telkom announced its call centre operations and staff would be outsourced.
ICT expert Adrian Schofield attributes the spike in complaints to the reduction in call centre agent numbers. "The reduction in agent numbers at Telkom would surely result in longer waiting times and more unanswered calls, so where else to register your complaint, but online?
"The big percentage increase in complaints to Hellopeter is a sure sign that dissatisfied customers need an outlet for their frustrations," says Schofield.
Complaints on Hellopeter, in the last month, include:
* "I called about four times, each time I spend 20 minutes on the phone; then they transfer me from one department to another. I am so sick of their bad service."
* Another customer claims to have been on hold for two hours: "This is far too long to be on hold. Even with high call volumes I can't spend two hours holding."
* One customer said, over the period of two days, a total of five hours was spent on hold: "I highly doubt the call centre is as busy as the line claims. I've phoned as the clock hit 8am and various times during the day. I refuse to believe the call centre is that busy."
Telkom spokesperson Jacqui O'Sullivan has apologised for "the inconvenience or any delays our customers may be experiencing when contacting our Telkom call centres".
O'Sullivan explains the "extended holding times when contacting our call centres is a result of high call volumes, which we see are mainly the result of many of our customers requiring telephonic support in order to reset passwords and recalibrate modem settings and so forth. Adverse weather conditions also affect our ADSL services at this time of year."
O'Sullivan said Telkom has allocated staff to other customer channels, such as social media and online reporting, to deal with issues. "We are working to get customer faults uploaded and into the system as quickly as possible."
Other social media channels are also filling up with complaints. On Twitter, one user says: "It's absolutely ridiculous to have to wait for nearly an hour just to get a hold of a call centre agent." Another asks: "Why is your service horrible? Your call centre is worse than home affairs." Many users called for Telkom's agents to be trained in customer service.
Schofield says: "Lodging a complaint on Hellopeter allows at least some temporary release of the frustration (and the comfort of knowing others share your views) but is of little long-term value if there is no response from the supplier. The only way Telkom can redeem its reputation is if it responds to the complaints."
O'Sullivan says, while Telkom is trying to work out issues with its call centres, the company is also trying to encourage more people to lodge faults online.
"We need to try and shift customer behaviour to a more self-service environment, as we see in the US and Europe. However, such a behaviour shift will be dependent on trust, as people will only look to other options (such as self-reporting online or social media) if they are confident they will actually receive a response. This is where we need to do a lot of work, to help show our customers that they are, indeed, the focus of our business," says O'Sullivan.

Assignment: Proactively predicting material availability during system lifetime.
Lithography systems consist of tens of thousands of parts that all have specific functions. The product life cycle (PLC) of such a lithography system is over thirty years, while the PLC of individual parts is often shorter. As a result, parts are flagged end-of-life (EOL) by the supplier, while these parts are crucial for manufacturing and servicing the system during the remainder of the product lifecycle.
ASML has a running process designed to deal with these EOL parts, deciding on three options:
- Define a Form-Fit-Function (FFF) replacement, i.e., a part can be replaced by another part.
- Redesign (part of) the system, such that the EOL part is not required anymore.
- Perform an All-Time-Buy (ATB) and cover the demand over the remaining PLC of the system.
In most cases, the solution is to redesign (part of) the system as the initial design is tailor-made and the demand over the remaining PLC uncertain. However, the redesign process is complex and time consuming and hence ASML needs to build-up inventory to bridge the gap until the redesign is in place. This results in material availability risk.
A model has been made to estimate this material availability risk based on past Enterprise Rescource Planning (ERP) data, and prognosis of the master production schedule. However, this model is not yet practical to use, and requires manual estimates. Next to that, it is based on reactive input starting at our supply chain.
ASML wants change this to proactive management of the effect EOL has on the PLC of our systems. That is, change in supply parameters – such as an increasing or heavily fluctuating price or lead time – may be an indication that a supply disruption is upcoming. Your task is to build a statistical forecasting model for the risk of a supply disruption per spare part in the next period of – say – 1-2 years based on historical data. Next, the forecasted supply risks per part need to be aggregated to the system level. Each system of ASML consists of many parts, and for the planning of system redesigns it is important to estimate how many supply disruptions may be expected. Recall that system redesign is one way to deal with a part supply disruptions (second option above).
This assignment is positioned within the NPL department of the GLS group within ASML, with strong links to other GLS departments such as Material Planning and Inventory Control.

text: Wanted to ask the seasoned fellas out there if they write a new business plan every year or simply update the old one? I ask because I started writing a new one completely from scratch about a week ago (not that there was anything wrong with the old one) and after now having a full year under our belts I am amazed at how much easier and more cohesive a task this seems to be. I don't think I will ever "tweak" a plan but just write a new one each year. The elements of the plan have not changed that drastically, but I think a completely separate 2006 plan will give me a better basis for comparison when writing again in 2007, much the same as the '05 plan is now. So what works best for you veterans especially those of you that have started from solo and grown exponentially over the years.

My Story
Neuroscientist by day, youth leader by night. Whether I'm dissecting a brain or recruiting a member to join my youth group, I do whatever I love to do with passion. There are so many exciting things in this world for me to explore, and I'm just in the beginning of my curious journey.
My Activities
The passion I have for neuroscience has allowed me to accomplish many great things. But more than the accomplishments I have achieved, the desire I have to constantly learn more about the current research in the field never ceases to do anything less than inspire me to want to achieve even more.
BBYO (B'nai Brith Youth Organization)
BBYO (B'nai Brith Youth Organization)
BBYO is the leading pluralistic movement for Jewish teens. This organization has given me a transformative experience. Through being Chapter President, Regional VP of Membership & Int'l Co-Chair of the Globlal Networking Commitee, I've gained confidence as a leader and a member of my community.
One day, I woke up and said, "You know what? I'm going to teach myself how to play the piano." Although difficult, after working hard, it didn't take me long to be a self-taught piano player! I learn and play songs that have a personal connection to my life, which makes the music I play meaningful.
Freshman and Sophomore year, I was on my high school's debate team, competing in Lincoln-Douglas debate. It gave me the confidence I have today and helped me to be more articulate with my ideas. This was the start to my confidence building and my ability to stand up for myself and my beliefs.

Grand Hyatt Thrity8 Review & The BIG YES!Thursday, December 18, 2014
Now let's begin this cheesy post....HAHAHA... He booked me for a dinner a month ahead… well I can guess what he wants to do… So I actually tease him that I know he will be doing something….. He told me nah it's just a normal dinner and there's promotion using his credit card for 50%, I trust him and guess he won't be doing it since I already know… We don't usually splurge on meal as we are saving for our USA trip so if there is no promotion I will not agree to spend money on such expensive food…
So as usual he drive me there and when reaching Grand Hyatt Hotel, I asked " Why do you turned in here". He trying to lie that he is making u-turn… By then, I know he is bringing me there for dinner… I am so so so happy, i wanted to dine at Thrity8 for a long time..... So I really thought it's just a Christmas Dinner to celebrate Christmas since he got a little token from his boss… All this while, I thought he will bring me to a normal restaurant, I did not bring camera so all picture here were quite blur and dark due to the dim lighting, please forgive me for that. The picture doesn't do justice to the food there.
Arriving at the 38th floor we took a picture with the beautiful KLCC view…. If I know I am going Grand Hyatt I would dress up more glam….

EU to Liberman: 'we are actively engaged'
The European Union on Monday responded to an outburst by Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman by saying the bloc remained "actively engaged" in the Middle East process.
In comments widely published in the Israeli press, outspoken Lieberman told French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and his Spanish counterpart Miguel Angel Moratinos :"Before coming here to tell us how to solve our conflicts, I would expect you could have at least solved all the problems within Europe."
Asked for comment, a spokeswoman for the EU's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton reiterated the union's commitment to efforts to seek peace in the region.
"We are actively engaged. We have a very strong interest in the ongoing peace process," said Maja Kocijancik.
Before travelling to Amman, Moratinos had said: "If we didn't have a role, if we didn't have any weight, if we didn't have any influence, maybe our friend Lieberman wouldn't have reacted as he did."

I'm 4w6d and I have a horrible head cold! Can't breathe, major sinus pressure and this morning I started with the barking cough. My chest, back and arms already hurt from coughing so much! My DH (dear husband) thinks I'm silly because I'm afraid it will shake the baby loose, that's how bad they are.
The nurse at my OB's office said I could take anything made by Tylenol, but that taking anything is not recommended in the first tri. I have taken a couple of plain old Tylenol, but nothing else.
Does anyone have any non-medicine tricks that work? Just looking for a little relief from the pain in my chest and back.
I'll check back in a while... this mama needs a nap!

Had a great stay in this house in Durango. We saw many different birds here! All noted in our western bird book. The trip to Silverton by train was beautiful. What a countryside! We would have liked to stay longer. No suprise that so many people wanted the same! It's the best of both sides: Durango- very lively and the house so close but in beautiful nature. We're glad we could make your son happy with the Ajax-football shirt. Amazing that he is a fan of Dutch (Amsterdam) football team! Jan and Jneke- Holland (near Rotterdam)
What a great place to relax and enjoy the Animus River Valley. Rustic home with beautiful furnishings and modern conveniences. Enjoy the privacy of the patio and hot tub as you plan the next days outings which may include hiking, biking, rafting, climbing, or simply sightseeing in this beautiful area. Lana was the perfect host-promptly responding to any questions or needs. Thanks for a wonderful time.
We have stayed here 3 times and have always loved it! Lana and Rod (owners) are first class. The property is very close to town (about 5 minutes) but yet feels like your own private oasis. The views are tremendous, the old time charm takes you back in time, and the hot tub is just a bonus. Shh...don't tell anyone or this place will always be booked.
Great house for our 2016 vacation! It made a perfect base camp for all the things my husband and I wanted to do this year while in southwest Colorado - Hiking Mesa Verde NP, Durango & Silverton train excursion, Traveling up to Ouray and Telluride for sightseeing and hiking, 4 Corners N.M, Hovenweep N.M., Canyons of the Ancients N.M., Aztec Ruins N.M., Animas River Trail and even sometime to walk the shops of Durango and enjoy a few local restaurants. The location was perfect and the house offered everything we needed to enjoy our stay when we came back from our daily adventures. Lana, thanks so much for having such a nice place for one to be able to relax at the end of an adventurous day. We had an awesome 1 1/2 weeks in your little piece of heaven!!! We would definitely recommend to others and would stay again at this charming farm house or even one of your properties when back in the area.
We had a great time at this little farmhouse. Just the right size for our family of 4, it's a cozy, warm home that is on a spacious, fenced lot with lots of room for our kids to run around and play outside. It's a private location, but still close and easily accessible to town. We were there for 6 nights and had no issues or problems. Lana was easy to work with and made our stay hassle free and comfortable.
We loved spending Thanksgiving at the farm house. It was a vacation with all the comforts if home. The property was great for our two kids to explore. We woke up to snow one day and two deer in the yard- wonderful being that we are from suburban Texas! The house is comfy and charming! It was our second stay with Romantic Vacations and we will be back.
We spent a wonderful 3-days at the Farmhouse in Durango. The house was very well-equipped - plenty of the basics, i.e., coffee/tea, toilet paper which often rental houses do not have. Also, there were plenty of towels for bathing, hot tub and even for pets - all clearly marked. The front room had lovely views of the area; the yard was very large for roaming with a pet or children if you bring any for your stay. The house was kept in the style of a farmhouse but with all the modern conveniences - even a large bathroom which the farmhouses of my youth never had. With the exception of a few cobwebs up high, the house was very clean. The location was lovely - out of town a bit and peaceful, but with a very short drive into Durango and its activities. The guest books suggestions were helpful. The bike rental place was terrific! We would certainly return to this house on a future stay in Durango.
This exclusive property is located in the beautiful Animas River Valley only 2 miles from Durango and has it's own electronic gated entrance! Enjoy the convenience of being close to Durango restaurants and activities, while still in a quiet, cozy setting. Experience the beauty and magic of Mesa Verde, skiing at Durango Mountain Ski Resort or taking the historic train ride on the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad!
Things to do include exporing national forests, hiking, biking, rafting, art, music, festivals, fishing, wildlife watching out your front door, great restaurants, million dollar drive in your car, casinos, stargazing and privacy with great views.

The Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal has been launched in St Albans and Harpenden.
On Friday, October 25 members from St Albans Branch of the Legion began their collections outside the city's station and Morrisons supermarket in Hatfield Road.
They will be collecting up until Sunday, November 10 when a Remembrance Day Parade takes place at 10.15am outside BHS in St Peter's Street.
On Monday, November 11 there will be a minute's silence at the memorial in St Peter's Street from 11am.
A formal ceremony at the war memorial in Church Green marked the launch of the Harpenden Poppy Appeal and Opening of the Field of Remembrance on Saturday, October 26.
An act of Remembrance will also take place at the historic Lychgate outside St Leonard's Church, in Sandridge at 10.45am on Sunday, November 10.
The service will be followed by a short Service of Remembrance inside the church.
The Rev Em Coley, Vicar of Sandridge said: "We will gather to remember and honour the lives of those given in war, to pray for those still caught up in conflict, and to pray for peace.
"We encourage all local people to join us for these important services."
