LSU Tarp Crew Dances To N'Sync's "Bye, Bye, Bye" (Video)
While the LSU Tigers baseball team is getting ready to take on the UCLA Bruins Sunday night at the NCAA College World Series, it's their tarp crew that is getting all of the publicity right now!
On Wednesday night's edition of "On the Record" with Greta Van Susteren, she played in her final segment she the video of the young men dancing to a Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 song "Bye, Bye, Bye," sung by the popular American boy band N'Sync. This "performance" happened during the Baton Rouge Super Regional last weekend, which LSU won over Oklahoma two games to zero.
Watch the video below and check out how "in sync" their dance moves were with the song!

Eleanor…young, high-spirited, supremely intelligent, heiress to the vast Duchy of Aquitaine – at a time when a woman's value was measured in terms of wealth. Her vivid leadership inspired and dazzled those about her. And yet, born to rule, she was continually repressed and threatened by the men who overshadowed her life.
This is the story of a brilliant, medieval figure – of a princess who led her own knights to the Crusades, who was bride to two kings and mother of Richard the Lionheart. It is the rich, incredible story of Eleanor of Aquitaine.
©1955 Norah Lofts (P)2010 Soundings
Say something about yourself!
"The Queen of Chivalry"
It's been said that Eleanor is the queen who inspired the concepts of Courtly Love and inspired chivalry in her passing. True or not, Norah Lofts makes you believe it. Eleanor's story is told more or less in fast forward, and there's not much here beyond the basics of history in terms of names, dates and facts. Such is the nature of such a short novel written so many decades ago. That said, the reason to read this account is for the story and for Eleanor's strength of character. It's difficult not to admire her through this telling. Norah Lofts is one of the most underrated historical novelists, and this novel would make a great introduction to her work.
Nicolette McKenzie is an impressive narrator. She conveys the personalities of all of these characters with an honest performance that only lends to the story. Through her, Eleanor shines.
"Basic facts plus a perspective."
The influence of strong women was entirely at the mercy of the males around them as shown in this historical novel. I admire strong women and Eleanor of Aquitane is one of my ancestors. It helps to get a perspective of the tmes.
I live in Michigan and have been a member of auible since it's onset. Hobbies are photography and writing...I am in the process of formatting my first novel for kindle and I hope everyone will read it. I LOVE AUDIBLE and listen to at least 3 unabridged books a month. !
"Long live the queen......"
It took me awile to get into this book and than I was completely hooked on the main character. Found this to be interesting......somewhat factual in the history of Queen Eleanor......Well written and narrated.

11 Amazing Treehouses from Around the World
Collecting belongings in Rikuzentakata, more than four miles from the sea at the upper limits of where a 60-foot-tall wall of water poured in and roared up a river valley. Buildings throughout Japan employ technology to isolate structures from the ground, and the country is so earthquake-conscious that developers and real estate agents boast of their earthquake-proof buildings as an advertising lure. Indeed, the earthquake itself did little damage. But the tsunami it spawned destroyed 3600 houses in the city and left 28,000 dead and missing in the country.
The view heading into Rikuzentakata. Previously a city of 26,000, it was wiped out by the tsunami. Almost every coastal city had seawalls, sometimes double lines of them and some as high as 36 feet. Nevertheless, every one was inundated, some toppled like children's dominoes. It's a surreal sight: Above the floodwaters is perfect, untouched, while everything else is simply gone.
Safety Concerns, From the Mouths of This Year's Super Bowl Players


text: Nomad coaches: nature of the game By Dave Hickman March 4, 2013 Story Share MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - If the past few months have served to illustrate nothing else where West Virginia's football coaching staff is concerned, it is that Morgantown is not a destination job.Does that surprise you? Well, it shouldn't.The reality is that where this group of nomadic whistle-tooters is concerned, there really is no such place. Anywhere.Not College Station, Texas. Not Norman, Okla. Not Knoxville, Tenn. And certainly not Morgantown, W.Va.So many people seem so bent out of shape that WVU is losing quality assistant coaches left and right. Three now have left of their own volition. Throw in the two that Dana Holgorsen decided he would be better off without and that's five vacancies on a nine-man staff.But if you think these guys are fleeing like rats from a sinking ship, well, you just haven't been paying much attention. It's the nature of the business. Considering the three who have left as if they are in a vacuum is to ignore the landscape while focusing only on our one little hill.Think not? Well, think again. Examine what has transpired. Jake Spavital left a job where he was the youngest and lowest-paid assistant coach (tied with Erik Slaughter and since-fired Daron Roberts at $200,000) and working in the shadow of his mentor, Holgorsen, in order to coach Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel and share play-calling duties at Texas A&M. It can be argued that no one was more loyal to Holgorsen than Spavital, but he advanced his career enormously by doing so.Bill Bedenbaugh was about to begin making $300,000 as WVU's offensive line coach. He went to Oklahoma for what is believed to be slightly less. Is that a red flag? No. He's closer to his Midwest roots at one of about 10 programs in the country that can legitimately be called elite. He'll have a chance to work with and recruit better athletes, which stands to improve his resume for whatever he wants to do down the road.And Robert Gillespie just left for Tennessee. Go ahead, look at it in the narrow prism of what WVU and Tennessee have done lately. If you do that, you're missing the point again. Gillespie is now an assistant coach at an SEC school steeped in tradition. He was born in Mississippi, played in the SEC at Florida and coached in the league at South Carolina. He has a chance to help rebuild Vols football, where 100,000 just might show up for Butch Jones' debut against ... wait for it ... Austin Peay. Consider that Gillespie had about 1,500 followers on Twitter after two years at West Virginia. He had over 7,000 followers after two days in Knoxville.So don't for a minute try to argue that any of those three are diminishing themselves or even making lateral moves in leaving West Virginia. They aren't. The bottom line is that if they aren't in a better place right now, they have at least put themselves in position to be in a better place soon. That's what assistant coaches do. For whatever reasons. They may be personal reasons or professional reasons. It might be because of family or the chance to work with someone in particular or to broaden their horizons or to position themselves for whatever the next step is. And for virtually all of them, there will be a next step.But the real point that everyone misses when they try to reduce moves like these is that it's a two-way street. I think everyone can agree that West Virginia doesn't have the appeal that tradition-laden Oklahoma has, or that coaching a Heisman winner has, or that playing in front of 100,000 people in the SEC has. But don't forget that people are moving here, too.Holgorsen has filled four of the five openings on his staff and will fill the fifth soon. He has to, given that spring practice begins Sunday. And while you're arguing lateral moves or a steppingstone job or whatever you're calling it, consider that three of the four new hires are coming from BCS programs where fans are asking, "Why would he move to West Virginia?''Ron Crook left Stanford, where all the Cardinal has done is play in three straight BCS bowls and lost four games in his two seasons. Tony Gibson came from Arizona State, leaving the security of his long relationship with Rich Rodriguez and a chance to resurrect that program. Lonnie Galloway left a Wake Forest program that has struggled of late, but was in an Orange Bowl not that long ago and is in his home state. Only Brian Mitchell, who was jobless after being fired as the defensive coordinator at East Carolina, probably didn't have to think twice about whether going to West Virginia was the right move. The rest had to weigh the pros and cons.Just as Spavital, Bedenbaugh and Gillespie did.There's no telling what motivates these guys to move around like they do. Sometimes it's obvious - a better program, more money, a promotion, whatever. Sometimes it's just the fit. It can be argued that all three of the coaches who left saw a better fit. It can certainly be argued that guys like Crook and Gibson, West Virginia natives, saw a better fit.Sometimes it's not the program. Often times it's not the money or the prestige. It's almost never the nefarious things people tend to imagine are going on behind the scenes.It's just the nature of the game.Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.

An associate dean at Monterey's Naval Postgraduate School resigned claiming "a culture of corruption" at the institution about the same time an investigation was launched into its top leaders.
The associate dean of the Graduate School of Engineering and Applied Sciences resigned Nov. 18, 2011, according to a letter sent to former President Dan Oliver obtained by The Herald.
The letter alleged disregard for how money was spent, unnecessary travel expenses, decisions not made in the best interest of the Navy and "fraud, waste and abuse."
"NPS is the only Navy command I have served in where I was so concerned about corruption and a disconnect with our Core Values," he wrote.
The Navy began its investigation of Oliver and former Provost Leonard Ferrari in November 2011, the same month the letter was sent.
The pair were ousted last month upon the conclusion of a report that alleged they did not adhere to federal and Navy rules. Some of the allegations included keeping money donated by the school's foundation in separate accounts outside of Navy inspection and hiring a woman as a contract employee to get around federal salary limits.
Rear Adm. Jan Tighe replaced Oliver and Douglas Moses replaced Ferrari the day the report was released.
Cmdr. Dave Nunnally, a public affairs officer at NPS, said the resignation letter appeared to be "personal and private correspondence." He declined to comment on its content or authenticity because it is not an official Navy document.
The dean's name had been removed from the document before it was given to The Herald by a person close to the former NPS employee.
That person wanted people to know there were people who "love the Navy" at NPS who thought the methods of Oliver and Ferrari were wrong.
The letter's tone was in sharp contrast to many NPS supporters who have come out to defend Oliver and Ferrari in the wake of their dismissal.
The dean wrote that because of an "ends justify the means" culture, he "could no longer confidently carry out the responsibilities of associate dean to ensure expenditures and activities were in the best interests of the Navy."
The dean wrote that the majority of faculty and staff were hardworking and ethical.
"But there are too many in my experience," he wrote, "who preferred to commit or allow questionable ethics, travel practices, fiscal management or other potential violations of rules and regulations."
Under Secretary of the Navy Robert O. Work said at a press conference two weeks ago he knew "of no whistle-blower activity or reprisal investigations at this point."
"That's not to say there aren't any," he said of an investigation. "Sometimes they will not rise to my level."
There are four graduate schools at NPS, each with its own dean and associate dean. The Graduate School of Engineering and Applied Sciences had the most students, 980, during peak enrollment in 2011, according to this year's NPS Fact Book.
Efforts to reach Oliver and Ferrari for comment have been unsuccessful.
Phillip Molnar can be reached at 646-4487 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Pycnogenol, a natural plant extract from the bark of the French maritime pine tree, resolved bleeding hemorrhoids, a new study reveals.
Researchers evaluated and followed up on 84 people who had experienced an acute hemorrhoidal episode within the last 48 hours, dividing them into four groups. Group 1 took 300 mg of Pycnogenol for four days, then 150 mg of Pycnogenol for three days. Group 2 took a placebo. Groups 3 and 4 took the same dose of Pycnogenol as Group 1 plus a topical cream with 0.5 percent Pycnogenol or a placebo cream.
After seven and 14 days, the placebo group still had bleeding, but for those who had taken the Pycnogenol supplement, hemorrhoidal bleeding had resolved completely.

Grandal playing catch-up after rehabbing knee
PEORIA, Ariz. -- The Padres still have a lot of catchers in camp, and manager Bud Black says they're all going to play in the coming days. But it's possible that the one San Diego is most interested in watching is Yasmani Grandal.
Grandal, who is coming back from July 2013 surgery to repair the anterior collateral and medial collateral ligaments in his right knee, has offensive upside, as evidenced by his .297 average, eight home run, 36 RBI production in a 60-game stint in 2012. After that season ended, Grandal was suspended for 50 games for testing positive for testosterone and ended up having his season cut short by the injury, leaving him with a .216 average and one homer in 28 games.
Things are getting better, however.
Grandal's knee has progressed quickly and he made his Cactus League debut Monday, going 1-for-2 and catching three innings in a win over the Rockies at Salt River Fields. On Wednesday morning, Padres manager Bud Black said Grandal would likely play in Thursday's home game against the Brewers, too.
"As Spring Training goes, there's a progression of how you use your players, especially the catchers, how you build their endurance to get them ready for the regular season," Black said.
"But Yasi now is a little bit behind, obviously, from where he started. He's still in a little bit of rehab mode but starting to transition toward full-time player mode. And that's a good thing. Any time you start transitioning from rehab player to player, without any restriction, that's where you want to be."
Black said there are still restrictions, but not too many.
"Physically, he's doing great, and he feels good about where he is, the medical staff feels good about where he is," Black said. "It's great to have him back out on the diamond playing."

Touchy-Feely Friday
Man this week flew by. I can't believe it's Friday night already. Unfortunately, I'm not finishing very strong here… I have just one touchy-feely picture. I'd like to thank everyone who joined me for this challenging photo week. Be sure to check out all the other days of photo week (links to everyone else in each post)
Monday – Sight
Tuesday – Taste
Wednesday – Sound
Thursday – Smell
This is the newlyweds at their rehearsal. I feel like you can tell a lot about a couple by the way they hold each other… I personally melt when hubby grabs my hand at just the right moment, just when I need it most.
Be sure to check out the other Friday pictures:
Thanks again to everyone who participated. I hope you had as much fun as I did! Now it's time for me to pass on the Photo Week hosting duties. I'm sending it back to the Midwest – to Sue. I'm looking forward to what she comes up with for a theme. And until then, keep your camera in hand and eye on your surroundings!
2 Responses to "Touchy-Feely Friday"
aaawwww that is an adorable picture. I love weddings. Sorry mine was late but its up now. Thanks for hosting! This week has been fun 🙂
Jen – kudos on an awesome photo week theme! I'm sorry I missed, it, but I'm going to try to play catch up over the next few weeks. I almost ditched Rob to marry photo week because I love it so much. But Rob showed up at the altar, so I kept it business as usual.

As documentary filmmaker Lee Hirsch discovered, the travails of a tormented child can be an examination far more terrifying than anything faced in the workaday life of an adult.
"A group of five or six guys pulled me into a bathroom, where they had run the showers and hot water to make it steam up," Hirsch recalls.
"They were acting out like they were taking me to a gas chamber and beat me up in there. It was absolutely terrifying."
Hirsch had blocked out the incident, which took place at his high school in Long Island, until someone posted about it on his Facebook page. He was 15 at the time.
Twenty-five years later and Hirsch is a celebrated filmmaker, but the title he is most proud of is champion of the downtrodden.
His documentary Bully, which follows five children from America who are persecuted relentlessly at school, has become a global phenomenon and has put the topic of bullying firmly back on the agenda in the US.
"I was bullied through middle school, elementary school and it's something you carry," says Hirsch.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, firstname.lastname@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] Sept. 4, 2013 Game Wardens Arrest Fishing Tournament Director AUSTIN -- Texas Game Wardens have arrested Michael Shane McCloud of Florida (formerly of Bryan-College Station) for theft related to a fishing tournament. Following his arrest, the 44-year-old McCloud was booked into the Jasper County Jail. No bond has been set. The investigation that culminated in his arrest began in June 2012 after authorities received numerous complaints related to fishing tournament prize payouts that allegedly did not occur. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Game Wardens and investigators with other law enforcement agencies spent more than a year looking into the practices and methods McCloud used to promote a bass tournament on Lake Sam Rayburn in June 2012. After an extensive, multi-jurisdictional investigation in which numerous tournament participants and sponsors in several states were interviewed, a sealed indictment naming McCloud was returned by a Jasper County grand jury. Ultimately, an arrest warrant was issued for McCloud on the theft charge, a state jail felony punishable by a $1,500 to $20,000 fine and from 180 days to two years in jail. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Department law enforcement officers assisted Texas Game Wardens in locating McCloud. After being notified to the indictment pending against him, he turned himself in to authorities. "Due to good police work, collaboration and teamwork this case is now ready to be put in the hands of the court," said Lt. Col. Danny Shaw,deputy division director of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Law Enforcement Division. "Texas Game Wardens intend to remain focused on protecting our resources as well as the citizens of Texas from those who wish to exploit either. Fishing tournaments in Texas are a fabric of many communities and reservoirs and Game Wardens will continue to play a role in ensuring they are conducted in a manner consistent with the law." McCloud's arrest marks the first time a fishing tournament director has been arrested in Texas. -30- [ Note: This item is more than four years old. Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, email@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] Sept. 4, 2013 Texas Game Wardens Stayed Busy over Labor Day Weekend AUSTIN -- Labor Day weekend proved to be very busy for Texas Game Wardens who filed a wide variety of hunting, water safety, fishing, and penal code violations. A total of 2,655 hunting-related citations and warnings were issued. Hunting citations included hunting doves over bait, possession of over the limit of doves, hunting migratory birds with unplugged shotguns, hunting deer in closed season, and no hunter education certificate. Fishing violations included several gill netting cases as well as commercial fishing violations. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Game Wardens also filed 268 water safety cases, 36 penal code cases, and made multiple arrests. State-wide arrests included boating while intoxicated, driving while intoxicated, possession of narcotics, and active warrants. A Game Warden assigned to Bosque County who was patrolling Lake Whitney looking for water safety violations arrested a man with an active warrant for sexual abuse of a child. In Liberty County, Game Wardens assisted the Liberty County Sheriff's Office with a water recovery of a homicide victim. Game Wardens also investigated several hunting accidents, boating accidents, and drownings as well as searches and boater assists. "I'm proud of the work our Game Wardens are doing to protect our natural resources while also providing public safety to the people of Texas," said TPWD Law Enforcement Division Director Col. Craig Hunter. "The number of compliments and lack of complaints given the number of contacts made is a testament to their professionalism." -30-

The Evolution of Tillage Practices
Producers have choices when it comes to tillage systems. Historically, soil inversion was the only means of soil management practiced when the grasslands of the Great Plains were initially converted to cropland. Many lessons were learned through the Dust Bowls of the 1930s and 1950s. Americans became aware of the need for soil conservation when dust storms descended on Washington, D.C., and pictures of gully erosion — in the heart the breadbasket of the United States — were published in national newspapers.
The first efforts at conservation tillage began with the substitution of a chisel plow for the moldboard plow. This tillage implement, followed by less aggressive disks, pioneered the effort to keep more residue on the soil surface to limit the erosional forces of nature.
In the 1970s a new type of management emerged. The concept of no-tillage became possible with improvements in planting equipment and herbicides. This new approach to farming took many years to master. It required not only a change of equipment, but also a change in management styles and problem solving. Today's successful no-till producer operates quite differently than the farmer of the 1950s.
A new piece of tillage equipment has emerged on the market: strip-till implements designed to till a narrow (≈ 8 inch) strip on crop row (30 inch) centers. This machine marries some of the benefits of no- till with the benefits of tillage. The region between tilled strips is maintained as a no-till area, while the area where the crop is planted is tilled. Will strip-till become the next generation tool for soil management? This publication looks at some of the data and discusses advantages and disadvantages of using strip-till.
A Solution for Cold Wet Soils
No-till has been largely successful at reducing soil loss from erosion. It also has proven to be better at retaining moisture by improving infiltration and reducing evaporation. On heavy soils in moist environments, high residue levels have delayed planting and resulted in poor early seedling vigor. This has been a problem for corn production in the Midwest. Strip-till was designed primarily to help improve the seedling environment in early spring. Tillage in the fall or spring helps reduce residue levels, dries excess soil moisture, and causes soil temperature to rise because of increased exposed to the sun. To gain the benefits of tillage in the seed zone, while retaining the needed soil-erosion and moisture-saving benefits of no-till, a hybrid tillage system, strip-till, was created.
This new equipment varies by manufacturer, but in a basic configuration consists of coulters, disks, and a subsurface knife for injecting fertilizer. Strip-tillage can be performed in the fall or spring before planting. Tillage equipment must be designed to match planting equipment because consistent seed placement within the tilled area is critical to gain the benefit of the tilled strip.
Strip-till performance is still being evaluated as the practice is fairly new. In the upper Midwest, some research shows continuous corn production using strip-till has improved over no-till (Table 1). As predicted, crop emergence has improved, with more uniform stands and better seedling vigor. In the same study, however, little response to tillage was seen in corn rotated with soybean.
Grain yields in strip-till have shown a limited advantage over no-till, varying with annual weather conditions. In a recent study conducted in Iowa, fall strip-till and fall chisel plow showed the only significant tillage effect on corn production in only 1 of 4 site-years (Table 2). Even with this limited success of corn in strip-till, interest in use of strip-till has expanded into other crops.
Strip-till as a Transitional Tool
Most strip-till implements have a fertilizer shank that allows placement of fertilizer at depth within the tilled zone. Some irrigated corn producers in western Kansas now use strip-till to help manage fertilizer applications in continuous corn systems. In these high-yielding environments, continuous high-residue levels limit adoption of no-till. Most producers apply nitrogen in the fall as anhydrous ammonia. The strip-till implement provides an opportunity to retain a large amount of residue, while still clearing a path for planting and putting down more than half of the annual nitrogen requirement for corn. These Kansas irrigators have adopted this tillage tool as a transitional tool. Without the use of strip-till, the majority of these producers would use some form of complete tillage to reduce residue in order to stay in a continuous corn system. Using strip-till provides a way to manage within high-residue systems. Since two-thirds of the field retains residue in strip-till, the overall effect will be to improve soil and water conservation.
The lesson to learn from the irrigators is that strip-till can be used to help transition traditional tillage systems into less tillage intensive systems. For dryland production, most no-tillers would argue that a strip-till machine isn't necessary. They are comfortable planting through high-residue fields and managing weed and disease pressure through crop rotations. Still, many traditional producers are reluctant to try no-till. Either they lack the proper planting equipment, or feel they don't have enough information to properly manage this new system. This tool may help them move to high-residue crop production systems.
Strip-till in a More Arid Environment
In dryland production in western Kansas, the factor that most limits crop yield is water availability. No-till summer crops capitalize on the moisture saving nature of high-residue levels. Typically the best corn is grown following wheat, Kansas' highest residue producing crop. Strip-till reduces residue levels in the tilled strip, exposing soil to the air. How will this affect the overall water balance for crop production? Research in the panhandle of Texas might provide information on this subject.
In an intensively monitored research plot, where soil water contents were measured to 10 feet, and soil evaporation rates were measured daily using micro-lysimeters, estimates of seasonal evaporation were determined for cotton grown in two tillage systems. Table 3 shows that total evaporation from both systems were similar, but that a greater percentage of water transpired through the plant where residue was retained in the strip-till system. This 37 percent increase in transpiration efficiency resulted in a 35 percent increase in lint yield.
At the end of the season, in an arid or semiarid environment, water added as precipitation or as irrigation will likely end up in the atmosphere from the large and ever-present evaporative demand. Management of the soil will dictate how that water travels to the atmosphere. In this environment, increasing the amount of water that moves through the plant typically leads to higher yields. Maintaining higher residue, whether through strip-till management or through no-till management should increase yield potential in western Kansas.
Soil Organic Carbon in the Balance
Soil productivity is strongly tied to soil organic matter and microbial activity. Many researchers have shown how tillage intensity reduces soil organic matter. The most intense tillage practice involves using a moldboard plow, and as data from Sydney, Nebraska shows (Table 4) all tillage practices result in a reduction of soil organic matter from that of native sod. The greatest loss occurs with the most aggressive tillage system. Total soil nitrogen also follows this trend with tillage. Even though producers provide most of the nitrogen needed for crop production through fertilizer nitrogen applications, the ability of the soil microbiological community to hold that nitrogen and release it to a growing crop is an important factor. In their study, Follet and Schimel showed that increased tillage intensity decreased the soil's capacity to immobilize and conserve mineral nitrogen.
In terms of tillage intensity, strip-till falls in a category between conventional tillage and no-till. Therefore, the effect it has on soil organic matter status is intermediate. Soil organic matter could improve where conventional tillers adopt strip-till, but could be reduced where no-tillers begin to use strip-till. In either case, the effect on soil organic matter should be minimal, and only measurable over long time periods.
Conservation Planning
All tillage choices should be weighed against the effects they have on natural resources. Strip-till should not be used on highly sloped ground. In this situation, exposed soil strips are subject to erosion. This is especially risky if the strips run up and down the hill, rather than following a contour. Exposed soil in a tillage strip also might increase the risk of crusting as compared to a no-till system. As a system for wind erosion control, strip-till should be a great improvement over a conventional till system, because the maintenance of standing residue will reduce the wind speed near the soil surface and provide sediment traps for any suspended particles. On sandy soils, place strips east to west, or at least at an angle different from the prevailing winds, to prevent the wind from blowing down the strip. Water erosion potential can be reduced with strip-till as compared to conventionally tilled systems. The alternating strips of residue that remain will slow surface water movement and will maintain high infiltration rates because of surface protection provided by residue. Wildlife also benefit from increased cover and nesting areas.
Strip-till is fairly new. Research on how to best use this tool is still being compiled. The implement exists in many different designs, which also indicates how uncertain the industry is on how best to use this technology.
There are still many unknowns. For example, for soils with near surface compaction, will strip-till help by shallow ripping directly where the row will be planted? Can strip-till improve planting conditions on fields that have been recently grazed by livestock? Are the positive yield effects seen by some researchers because of soil temperature changes, nutrient availability ability, more efficient use of precipitation, or some other factor? Time will tell. But what we do know is because of warmer soil temperatures and deep fertilizer placement, continuous corn may benefit from strip-till. Conversely, crops, such as soybean, sunflower, and sorghum, which are typically planted later, when the soil environment has improved, are less likely to respond to strip-till. Strip-till implements provide an excellent means of deep banding fertilizer, which will improve efficiency and reduce the risk of nutrient loss to the environment. Soil erosion potential in a strip-till system will be intermediate to the high risk in conventional tillage systems and the very low risk seen in no-till systems.
Every farmer operates differently. For those who see potential benefits of strip-till in their operations, a strip-till implement may offer an advantage. Many configurations are available, including ways of attaching units to existing tool bars. Strip-till is probably not going to replace all existing soil management systems, but it is a well-designed tool that can help you remain successful.
Potential Advantages
• Break up surface compaction
• Yield advantage in continuous corn
• Use of older (low residue handling) planting equipment in tilled strip
• Transition from conventional till to reduced or no-till
• Maintain residue in sprinkler irrigation applications
• Reduced wind erosion hazard

â UAN
• Remove surface compaction following grazing, while maintaining some residue on surface
Possible Risks
• Erosion on strips
• Crusting; poor stands

Athol Fugard's COMING HOME Comes To Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Previews 1/15/2010
In January, South Africa's master dramatist comes back to Berkeley Repertory Theatre with his latest show: Coming Home. Gordon Edelstein directs this poignant new script by Athol Fugard, whom the New York Times dubbed "the greatest playwright writing in English since Shakespeare." Featuring Lou Ferguson, Roslyn Ruff, and Thomas Silcott, Coming Home begins previews on Berkeley Rep's intimate Thrust Stage on January 15, opens January 20, and closes February 28, 2010. The executive producers are Bill Falik and Diana Cohen and the Strauch Kulhanjian Family; the production sponsor is the Bernard Osher Foundation. The season sponsors for Berkeley Rep's 41st year of fearless theatre are BART and Wells Fargo. Coming Home is presented in association with Lorraine Hansberry Theatre.
"I remember working in Berkeley with great fondness," Fugard remarks, "beautiful people, a wonderful stage, and a first-class audience. I look forward to returning. I was drunk with freedom when I wrote Valley Song, intoxicated with the potential of our fledgling democracy. Fourteen years later, I've taken stock of the situation with Coming Home. Many things went terribly wrong in the new South Africa: corruption, violence, the tragic denial of the AIDS epidemic. Yet, whenever I am back in the country, I find a thousand reasons to hope because the people of the country are just amazing - especially the youth. So, while this show contains a sort of sober reckoning, it still offers promise and possibility by way of the little boy."
"I'm pleased to bring a new work from Athol Fugard to our stage, and glad that Gordon will direct at Berkeley Rep," says Tony Taccone, the Theatre's artistic director. "With a touching story, an accomplished cast, and a consummate writer, this show is the perfect complement to the diverse work our audiences have already enjoyed this season."
Time magazine calls Athol Fugard "the greatest active playwright in the English-speaking world," and now his latest show arrives at Berkeley Rep. Ten years after running off to pursue her dreams in the city, Veronica returns in rags. Among her meager belongings, she carries a desperate secret - and determination to plant the seeds of a new life for her son. Fugard's scripts have earned countless accolades, including the Academy Award, Obie Award, and Tony Award. Berkeley Rep produced three of his previous plays: A Lesson from Aloes in 1983, The Road to Mecca in 1988, and Valley Song in 1998. With Coming Home, the playwright once again confronts the hard truths of his homeland while celebrating the unquenchable power of hope.
It's a "sad, sweet, and gently moving" show, declares the New York Times, "a beautifully acted production directed by Gordon Edelstein... As one might expect from a writer of fierce commitment to political and social justice, Coming Home quietly condemns the shameful policies of the South African government, which failed to confront the reality of AIDS. But as always with Mr. Fugard, censure of policy comes only through careful observation of its human costs. Mr. Fugard doesn't need to raise his voice, or even have Veronica raise hers, to make his points... Ms. Ruff gives a superb performance."
"This great writer has given us another unforgettable glimpse into modest lives of unfathomable grandeur," adds TheaterMania. "It's a tribute to Fugard's skill as a playwright - and Ruff's as an actress - that the play manages to skirt the shoals of bathos while boldly, methodically, and often humorously charting a course for certain heartbreak."
Born in 1932 in Middleburg, in the Karoo desert region of South Africa, Athol Fugard battled to bring the stories of all South Africans to the world, even under the darkest years of Apartheid, the abusive system that had one set of laws for whites and another for people of color. A recipient of many awards and honorary degrees, in 2005 he was given South Africa's highest honor, the Ikhamanga Medal. His best-known plays include The Bloodknot (1961), Boesman and Lena (1969), Sizwe Bansi is Dead (1972), The Island (1973), "Master Harold"... and the Boys (1982), and My Children! My Africa! (1989). His latest plays performed in South Africa are Booitjie and the Oubaas and Victory, which was also performed in England and the United States. His published work includes journals, novels, short stories, and screenplays. In 2006, the film Tsotsi, based on his 1961 novel, won the Academy Award and top awards at various film festivals. His latest plays, all stories of his country, are Exits and Entrances (2004), Bootjie and the Oubaas (2006), Victory (2007), Visions and Dreams (2007), and Coming Home (2008), which can be considered a sequel to Valley Song (1995) and a continuation of Veronica's story. His plays are now part of the international canon, constantly performed and taught in schools. A prose work, Karoo and Other Stories, was published in 2005.
Gordon Edelstein is in his eighth season as artistic director of Long Wharf Theatre, where he staged the world premiere of Coming Home in January and the November premiere of Fugard's Have You Seen Us? He will also direct The Glass Menagerie starring Judith Ivey at New York's Roundabout Theatre this spring. His recent productions of Arthur Miller's The Price and Anton Chekhov's Uncle Vanya (which he also adapted) ranked among the Best of 2007 in the Wall Street Journal and numerous other publications. As a director, he has garnered three Connecticut Critics Circle Awards and the organization's Tom Killen Award, given annually to an individual who has made an indelible impact on Connecticut theatre. During his tenure at Long Wharf, the company has produced world premieres by Julia Cho, Noah Haidle, Craig Lucas, Dael Orlandersmith, Anna Deavere Smith, and Paula Vogel. Over the years, he has also directed and/or produced premieres by Philip Glass, James Lapine, Donald Margulies, Martin McDonagh, Charles Mee, Arthur Miller, Paula Vogel, and Mac Wellman, among many others, and has directed a diverse body of work from Sophocles to Pinter and Shakespeare to Beckett. Edelstein has staged countless plays and workshops for Long Wharf Theatre including the world premieres of BFE, which transferred to Playwrights Horizons; A Dance Lesson; The Day the Bronx Died, which traveled to New York and London; and The Times. Prior to assuming leadership of Long Wharf, Gordon helmed Seattle's A Contemporary Theatre for five years.
Edelstein has assembled a prodigious cast to portray this homecoming. Lou Ferguson (Oupa Jonkers) performed on Broadway in Playboy of the Western World, Seven Guitars, and Two Trains Running. His regional credits include The Bluest Eye, Drowning Crow, Everyman, The Hasty Heart, Les Blancs, The Night of the Iguana, Playland, and Oedipus the King. On television, he has been seen in Another World, Attica, General Hospital, Jonny Zero, Law & Order, and Third Watch, and his film credits include I Like It Like That, The Interpreter, Maid in Manhattan, No Place to Hide, Radical Jack, and Stone Mansion. Roslyn Ruff (Veronica Jonkers) won an Obie Award for her performance in Seven Guitars at Signature Theatre Company. Her other off-Broadway credits include The Cherry Orchard and Macbeth at the Classical Theatre of Harlem, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter and Things of Dry Hours at New York Theatre Workshop, and Killa Dilla at Working Theater. Her screen appearances include Life During Wartime and Rachel Getting Married, and her extensive regional experience includes August Wilson's 20th Century Cycle at the Kennedy Center, the world premiere of Gee's Bend at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, and Gem of the Ocean at American Conservatory Theater. Both Ferguson and Ruff appeared in the world premiere of Coming Home; they are joined for this production by Thomas Silcott (Alfred Witbooi). In New York, Silcott appeared in Broken Jug at Lincoln Center and The Color of Justice at the New Victory Theatre. He performed in Coming Home at the Fountain Theatre and in the national and international tours of Bring in Da Nose, Bring in Da Funk. His other regional credits include "Master Harold"... and the Boys at the Colony Theatre Company, Paint Your Wagon at the Geffen Playhouse, and To Kill a Mockingbird at the ALLIANCE THEATRE. His films include The Boxer, Brothers, Gods and Generals, and Mercy Street, and his television appearances include Desperate Housewives, Dirt, Entourage, and Girlfriends. The cast also features several local children.
Coming Home showcases a talented team of top designers. EuGene Lee (scenic design) has received the Tony Award, the American Theatre Wing's Design Award, the Outer Critics' Circle Award, the Drama Desk Award, the Lucille Lortel Award, and the Pell Award, and was inducted into the Theatre Hall of Fame. His recent work includes Grasses of a Thousand Colors at The Royal Court Theatre in London and You're Welcome, America: A Final Night with George W. Bush on Broadway. He has been the production designer of Saturday Night Live since 1974. Jessica Ford (costume design) has designed at theatres across the country, including Actors Theatre of Louisville, Barrington Stage Company, the Hangar Theatre, Long Wharf Theatre, Milwaukee Shakespeare, Shakespeare & Company, Syracuse Stage, Two River Theater Company, and Yale Repertory Theatre. In New York, she has worked with The Pearl Theatre Company, The Play Company, Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, Second Stage Theatre, and the Summer Play Festival. Stephen Strawbridge (lighting design) designed Crime and Punishment and The Illusion at Berkeley Rep. His work has been seen on Broadway, off Broadway, and at most leading theatres and opera companies in the US, as well as major premieres in Bergen, Copenhagen, The Hague, Hong Kong, Munich, Sao Paulo, Stockholm, and Vienna. He is co-chair of the design department at Yale School of Drama and resident lighting designer at Yale Rep. Corrine K. Livingston (sound design) is the resident audio supervisor at Long Wharf Theatre, where she designed Black Natvity, Coming Home, The Price, Rocket to the Moon, and Underneath the Lintel. She has also worked on many shows at New York Stage and Film, including the world premiere of Christopher Durang's musical Adrift in Macao, The Betty Show, Exposed, The New Americans, and Roulette. John Gromada (original compositions) scored the Broadway productions of A Bronx Tale, A Few Good Men, Proof, Rabbit Hole, and Well and Broadway revivals of Prelude to a Kiss, A Streetcar Named Desire, Summer and Smoke, and Twelve Angry Men. His off-Broadway credits include two acclaimed shows at the New York Shakespeare Festival: he won an Obie Award for Machinal and a Drama Desk Award for The Skriker. This production also relies on Lynne Soffer (dialect coach) and Michael Suenkel (Berkeley Rep's resident stage manager).

Teaford recovering, but still sidelined
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Pitcher Everett Teaford's sore left shoulder is healing, but he's still sidelined.
"I don't get to throw until Tuesday, but I got to do baseball activities and everything feels good," Teaford said. "I tried to trick 'em, but they're way smarter than me."
Teaford, his shoulder feeling better, tried to confuse the trainers' count on their five-day no-throw edict so he could toss a day earlier, but they didn't bite.
"It's easier to take another day now than potentially later," Teaford conceded.
Even though he'll return to throwing, he'll be held out of the intrasquad games on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Cablevision changes name of business services division to Lightpath
Cablevision announced this morning that it was rebranding its business services division as Lightpath.
Lightpath was formerly known as Optimum Lightpath, but the name change separates the commercial service offerings from Cablevision's Optimum-branded residential services, which it uses on triple-play residential and Wi-Fi services.
"For more than two decades, Lightpath has offered telecommunication services in the New York metro area, emerging as an Ethernet leader that is best positioned to serve a diverse customer base," said Julia McGrath, senior vice president of marketing and business development for Lightpath. "Our customers trust the Lightpath brand and know that they can count on us to deliver the innovative solutions that help them advance."
Lightpath has received numerous industry awards for innovation and leadership, most recently being named the 2011 North American Regional Service Provider of the Year by the MEF (Metro Ethernet Forum). Last year, it beat out AT&T and Verizon to win MEF's Best Marketing Award for North America.
Lightpath offers Ethernet-based data, Internet, voice and video transport solutions and managed services to businesses across the New York metropolitan area. Its network has more than 5,000 route miles connecting more than 5,500 fiber-lit locations.
In its third-quarter earnings report last month, Cablevision said Optimum Lightpath's net revenue increased 5 percent, to $81.3 million, compared with the same quarter a year ago.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is the most common inherited kidney disease, affecting more than 400,000 people in the U.S. and 5 million people worldwide. PKD is the 4th most common cause of kidney failure requiring dialysis and/or transplantation. Over half of all PKD patients develop kidney failure by age 60 years, although age of onset of kidney disease varies widely, even among members of the same family.
Despite the fact this is a relatively common problem, relatively few patients have been studied for a sufficient period of time to fully understand how patients are affected over the course of their lifetime. The reason for creating this repository is to collect information about PKD so that the investigators may fully understand its complications, including high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. This information may also aid in the development of improved treatment strategies.

Iwakuma K's 11, but Mariners fall to Astros
HOUSTON -- Hisashi Iwakuma gave up just two earned runs and struck out 11 in five innings Tuesday, but the Mariners right-hander received his first loss of the season as the Astros topped the Mariners, 3-2.
Iwakuma has been outstanding in five starts this season but has been hindered by a blister on his throwing hand, and he was pulled after 93 pitches while trailing, 3-1.
"It's still an issue," manager Eric Wedge said. "We'll have to make his next start on regular rest, then after that we'll have an opportunity to maybe give him a couple days, working with the off-days. We're just trying to get to that."
The 32-year-old gave up a season-high six hits and allowed three total runs as his record fell to 2-1 with a 1.99 ERA.
Iwakuma said he did not have his normal command, but he also did not blame anything on the sore middle finger that has prevented him from working on his off-speed pitches between starts all season.
"I'm being able to pitch every five days, and that's a good thing," Iwakuma said through translator Antony Suzuki. "It's all about being able to monitor and manage the situation right now, and I'm happy to battle with each day that I'm on the mound. Our trainers are working on it every inning. That part makes it tough, but besides that I've been able to pitch."
The Mariners have more than just Iwakuma's blister to worry about, however. Lack of timely hits cost them again as they failed to take advantage of numerous early scoring opportunities against Houston starter Bud Norris.
Three of the Astros' six wins this season have now come against the Mariners, as they improved to 6-14 with just their second victory in the past 10 games. Seattle (8-14) will try to win its first season series Wednesday afternoon in the final game of a six-game Texas trek.
The Mariners racked up eight hits in the first five innings against Norris while scoring just once, then tallied just one hit in four frames against three Astros relievers.
"The at-bats are definitely getting better, and we did have a lot of hard outs and long outs, but we still have to do better than that," Wedge said. "I do think we've got guys heading in the right direction. That's evident in the quality of at-bats the last two nights. But having said that, it's all about winning and losing. We have to do a better job of finding ways to win ballgames."
Dustin Ackley singled in the second and scored on Endy Chavez's double into the right-center gap, tying the game at 1 before Chavez was caught in a rundown while heading for third.
Kendrys Morales later cut Houston's lead to 3-2 with a monstrous homer to left-center leading off the eighth against reliever Travis Blackley, Morales' third of the season.
But that was all the damage the Mariners could do against an Astros team that came into the game with an American League-worst 5.49 ERA.
Norris lasted just two-thirds of an inning in his last start against the A's, but he kept the Mariners to a single run despite allowing two hits in each of the first three innings.
"I didn't have my best stuff today, but I battled and made it through five innings and kept it a one-run, two-run ballgame," Norris said. "I have a comfort zone at home. Our job [as starters] is to pass it on to the bullpen. Getting the lead makes it easier on us."
Ackley went 1-for-4 on the night and is 9-for-26 (.346) over his last six games, finally elevating himself to the Mendoza Line at .200 after a difficult start.
Justin Smoak again found Minute Maid Park to his liking with a 2-for-4 night. Smoak is 11-for-21 (.524) with two doubles, two home runs and nine RBIs in five games in Houston, the first three coming while he was with the Rangers.
"[Norris] pitched well for them, and we hit some balls hard off him," Smoak said. "We just didn't get the job done tonight. We had guys on and hit balls hard; just things didn't go our way."
Kyle Seager extended his career-best hitting streak to 12 games with a fifth-inning single. He finished 1-for-3 with a walk to raise his average to .278.
But none of that added up to much scoring as Raul Ibanez stranded five runners in an 0-for-4 night, and the Mariners as a team were 1-for-5 with runners in scoring position.
"I think the guys are trying to do too much," Wedge said. "But this is the big leagues. You've got to manage your heart, manage the anxiety, manage your expectations and just go up there and relax and compete."
Houston managed an unearned run in the first when Jason Castro walked, then scored from first when Chris Carter's single got past Ibanez and rolled to the wall.
Astros shortstop Marwin Gonzalez ripped a home run leading off the third inning. It was Gonzalez's third long ball of the season, with all three coming against the Mariners. Iwakuma's other run came when he hit Justin Maxwell in the hand with the bases loaded to make it 3-1.

With changes in the general economy have come changes in the self-storage finance world. Self-storage lenders, like those for all commercial real estate, apply more stringent underwriting standards when evaluating the potential of a construction, permanent or other self-storage loans. Even the refinancing process has become more challenging for self-storage owners, who must weigh their options and exit strategies. Some negotiate with lenders in an attempt to salvage underperforming self-storage properties. Tax issues are also a significant concern for self-storage owners. Cost segregation and 1031 exchange are possibilities to be explored. Financial and operating performance is reported quarterly by the self-storage real estate investment trusts (REITs): Public Storage Inc., U-Store-It Trust, Sovran Self Storage and Extra Space Storage.

Boo! Happy Halloween, Slice'rs! This is officially the scariest pizza I have ever laid eyes on. Like, intentionally scary, not IQ scary, or keep-that-away-from-me scary. This is a cheesy rendition of the Necronomicon (a fictitious Book of the Dead) from the Evil Dead cult horror films. Pretty spooky...
Best of all, you can see how to make your very own here! Who needs pumpkins when there is pizza?!
[I've been sitting on this for a while, since David Kover sent it to the Slice mailbox this June. I'm resurrecting it for Halloween! Thanks, DK!]

As we look forward to Veterans Day on Monday, I encourage you to take a moment to consider the debt of gratitude we owe our veterans. Without their service and dedication to our nation, our freedom and liberties would not be as secure as they are today. The adage that "freedom isn't free" is so true and it's our veterans who have paid the highest price for that freedom.
With so much attention focused on the things that divide us, it's far too easy to overlook something that should unify us—our gratitude for the sacrifices of those still serving and those who have served so gallantly and selflessly in our armed forces.
That's why I ask you to take a moment to reflect on how much we owe the silent heroes in our midst. On Monday please don't forget to thank a vet, it's the one day of the year our country has set aside to honor our veterans and acknowledge the legacy of their steadfast defense of our American ideals, principles, and liberties.
On Monday at 11 a.m. in the Glenn Miller Ballroom I invite you to attend a rededication of the University Memorial Center as Colorado's official veterans' memorial, as the UMC celebrates its 60th anniversary. Prior to the UMC's 1953 opening Colorado Governor Lee Knous originally proclaimed it as a living memorial for all Colorado veterans. It's a designation that has been a source of pride for our campus.
We have a rich campus legacy honoring our veterans, dating back to World War I. CU's first "Memorial Student Union Building," opened in 1931, was built to honor the 55 CU veterans who fought and died in World War I. Their names can be found inside the northwest entrance of the original student union that now houses the Department of Economics.
While the buildings have changed, our commitment to veterans has remained steadfast. The list of CU student veterans has grown considerably since the original 55. On Monday we honor them, and all veterans who have sacrificed for their country and for all of us.

In an early morning video released May 29, 6th District Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has announced she will not be seeking re-election in 2014.
The four-term congresswoman is coming off a hotly contested race with DFL challenger Jim Graves, who she narrowly defeated by just more than 4,000 votes last November.
Graves had already announced he planned to run against Bachmann again in fall 2014.
In her video, Bachmann brushed off any thoughts that she had concerns about defeating Graves in the 2014 election, noting that if she ran, she would be re-elected. She also said her decision had nothing to do with the recent federal inquiry into the activities of her former presidential campaign or her former presidential staff.
In her video she said she'd already been considering not running again last fall after she pulled out of the presidential race, but thought it would have been a difficult "for another Republican candidate to get organized for what might have been a very challenging campaign."
Bachmann defeated Graves 179,240 to 174,944, carrying 50.4 percent of 6th District voters to 49.3 percent for Graves.

Shatto Milk Co. of Osborn, Mo., is celebrating its 10th anniversary in style with new, birthday cake-flavored milk.
As part of its year-long celebration, Shatto released five other flavors but went the extra step to make the birthday anniversary special. The special edition flavor is expected to hit local grocery stores as early as Sept. 23.
The dairy isn't stopping there. Twenty percent of proceeds from the Birthday Cake milk sales will go to The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City. Shatto is also sponsoring an anniversary gala to raise money for the charity.
Fans are already anxiously waiting for the delivery of the Birthday Cake milk, and many are giving their shout-out to the regional favorite.
"The KC community is lucky to have such a fine family dairy to call our own! And the milk (and ice cream) taste really good, too," one fan wrote on Shatto's Facebook page.
"What an awesome partnership - I will definitely be buying the milk to support all involved," another said.
Other flavors released this year included Blueberry, Chocolate Cherry, Mint Chocolate, Cookies and Cream and Apple Pie. Just five anniversary flavors were planned, but customer response has convinced the dairy to release two more limited-edition flavors coming later this year.

Just before noon Friday, Stacey Evans Parks started to cry when a customer at a Seaside restaurant gave her an envelope.
It was the most immediate offering in a campaign among a wide circle of friends and strangers to support Parks, 47, with love and money after she lost her Mescal Street apartment to a devastating fire the day after Christmas.
"It's been so emotional and so amazing," said Parks, who also is waging a second battle against cancer that could kill her within six months.
"The community has really reached out. I'm living on hope and faith and the compassion people are giving me," Parks said by telephone from The Breakfast Club, 1130 Fremont Blvd.
Parks, a hairdresser, cut her hands and knees and suffered smoke inhalation after she broke a window and crawled into the smoky apartment to rescue her daughter's Chihuahua. The blaze was started by a faulty wall plug, fire officials said.
Parks wasn't at the apartment when the fire started. She got home and saw the windows black with smoke. She tried to break a window with the base of a fountain. It bounced off, hit her and left a nasty bruise. Then she got in and crawled to the dog.
"It's a crazy situation, losing your home and everything and having cancer on top of that," she said.
But Parks, who said "I don't do sick," sounded more dazed by the compassion coming her way than by the double dose of bad fortune hanging over her.
"Her attitude is positive and upbeat," said Mark Scott Arellano, the restaurant manager who is helping coordinate support for Parks and her daughter.
The Red Cross is helping with emergency lodging at a motel, and the campaign initially is for cash donations. First needs are replacing Parks' medicines and getting into a new place to live, Arellano said.
Parks' 18-year-old daughter Dominique lives with her, and it was fortunate her work uniform survived the fire because it was in a downstairs washing machine, Arellano said. But almost everything else in the apartment was lost.
On Friday morning, Arellano estimated about $600 to $800 in donations came in. Restaurant customers were leaving $5 or $10 for Parks with their checks. And a Paypal account at firstname.lastname@example.com is set up to handle online donations.
Right now, money is needed rather than clothing or furniture because they have no place to store those goods, Arellano said.
"We've probably fielded 30 calls here," he said.
Parks wrote Friday on her Facebook page, "The love we are feeling from both those we know and complete strangers has been amazing."

Reviews for this host's other properties
It is a small but clean, cozy and bright appartment. You wake up with the sun. Martin was a very kind host who is eager to give you all the information you need to have a pleasant stay.
In the same road there is a wine shop, a café and a small supermarket. It was a great to be there.
We stayed in June from 5 to 15. Martin is very nice and friendly host. Before we arrived to Prague, he had sent us an instruction how to get to the apartment. He met us in check in time and show the flat. It is small, but very clean and well decorated. The is everything you need, even a fun and an iron. The apartment's location was perfect for us. We enjoyed walking to the center of Prague, to the zoo, we never used the transport. There are a lot of pretty cafes near the apartment and the best vineshop downstairs. I recommend the place.
We stayed there in August 2015. Contact to Martin before the arrival was great. He was also a very kind and friendly host. The apartment was beautiful, very clean and also bigger as we thought! Nice decorated as well. Martin provided a lot of informative material, e.g. maps and everything you need to feel comfortable during your stay. We can only recommend the apartment!
The apartment was amazing! Beautifully decorated, a lot bigger than expected, clean and extremely close to the city (only like a 5-minute walk to Wenceslas Square).
Martin was an incredibly nice host as well. He provided us with answers to questions we never even thought to ask :D
If we didn't prefer to keep this apartment free for whenever we'd like to come back, we'd definitely more than recommend it!
We stayed here september 2014. Very clean and comfortable appartment and also the host is very friendly. Transportation to the centre is nearby. Good to know that you need to take multiple stairs before you reach the appartment.
logement nickel, confortable, calme, proche du centre et accueil très sympathique. Nous le recommandons pour cette ville.
This appartment is really good, and we could not imagine a more polite and hospitale manager!
We would like to come again another time!
Wij zijn zeer tevreden over het verblijf in dit appartement en vooral over de vriendelijke, zorgzame gastheer Martin. Toen ons vliegtuig na een vertraging van 4 uur pas na middernacht aankwam heeft hij ons met de auto opgehaald, onze koffer alle trappen opgedragen en is tot half drie gebleven om heel geduldig alles te vertellen over het verblijf in Praag en het gebruik van het appartement. Hij was ook voortdurend bereikbaar voor als het nodig zou zijn. We kunnen iedereen die goed ter been is dit appartement aanraden, het is nieuw, schoon en compleet. In de buurt zijn goedkope bars en restaurants en het openbaar vervoer is vlakbij en brengt je snel en probleemloos naar het centrum. Echt een aanrader!
Martin is a very good host and a nice person, speaks good English :)
He provided us with excellent service throughout our stay
..we reached as late as 12 in the night and Martin waited until then to handover the keys!!...still had patience to advise and guide us about the city..
Apartment is nice, very bright with two large windows facing onto the street and main road, you wake up with lots of sunshine in the room..we were a couple and found the apartment spacious enough. you have all the things required to feel home..
There was no fan in the apartment (as the summer had just started) - we requested one and it was there very next day..
Location of the apartment is good as well. A grocery shop is just across the street. We didnt used the public transport a lot as we love to walk. you can reach to the town centre in 30 mins by walk, 30-40 mins to reach airport by public transport..
The toilet pot was an unusual one, really a minor issue if you are very particular about the pot style..
Prague is very very very beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay at this apartment..will definitely recommend this..will rate 4 stars - only and only because of the pot style which may not be an issue at all for others..
Avis très favorable:
-très bon accueil de Martin
-appartement confortable et bien situé (en Tram à 10 min du centre historique de Prague)
Appartement à conseiller!
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption
