Heritage Apartment Rentals purchased this house in 2015
Location, mews style house, luxury finish and space!
Architecture, three bedrooms and three bathrooms, air conditioning throughout and amazing location!
Rented this property in July 2017. Three adults and two teenagers. The property is in an excellent location close to pubs, restaurants, shops and tube stations. It is a modern three story home. The kitchen, bathrooms are very up to date and contained all the appliances needed for a vacation. Although the property is spacious one of the bedrooms was too small for its double bed making access to the closets awkward. Overall we were very happy with our selection.
The property manager met us at our arrival and was very helpful explaining the appliances, HVAC etc. There were adequate towels, bed linens etc. The washer/dryer was very handy. During our stay there was a problem with the electrical system. The property manager attended to it promptly but it took a couple days to get a part and finish the repair. Overall it was a minor inconvenience.
I would recommend this property to others and would stay her again on another trip to London.
Karen was a great resource for us - we had booked Airbnb, who cancelled as we walked out of the door to the flight, less than 16 hours before our arrival. First rate service and first rate treatment from the property manager. Rating greater than 5 stars.
The property was impressive. In reading other reviews, noticed a few themes about the location. First, the air conditioning. It was warm when we walked in. A call to Karen quickly resolved, taught us how to use the system and we were perfectly comfortable for our 5 night stay.
There is also a resource available (appliance manuals) that tells you how to use everything in the flat. We were able to run the washer / dryer and dishwasher with no issue with the information.
There are motorcycles outside the door, as well as normal traffic in a residential neighborhood. We did not notice the noise at all, nor did we notice any big projects ongoing that were unusually noisy. I would say, you are in a big city. Even though there is city noise, you are in a residential neighborhood and the noise is not bad at all.
It is a ten minute walk to Russell Square, Kings Cross and Farmington Tube station, which is a great way to quickly access different Tube lines without changing trains. It is also a £ 10 cab ride (we had luggage) to Kings Cross / Saint Pancras to catch the Eurostar to Paris.
The flat is 3 level, and there are stairs. We were 5 - 2 parents, 2 college boys and an 82-year old grandmother. There is a bedroom and bath on the first floor along with the kitchen / breakfast room, perfect for the grandmother. The second floor is a lovely dining/ family area. The 3rd floor is 2 nice bedrooms and 2 nice baths.
I highly recommend this property. It is modern, clean and especially well run.
A special thanks for making our stay in London outstanding.
Our stay in the lovely John Street townhouse was a true highlight in our week long, multigenerational family holiday to London for my brother's wedding! The townhouse comfortably slept 7 of us ages 22 to 83 and had lots of space to accommodate us, our luggage, family gatherings and meals. It is bright, spacious, beautifully decorated and extremely well located within central London to buses and the tube or walking. It is VERY will thought out for group travel…everything we needed and much more!
We looked up other reviews prior to departure for suggestions re: nearby coffee shops and restaurants….our favorite prior recommendation (we went there 3 times!) was Osteria 57 which is less than a 5 minute walk along Grays Inn Road. There are also a couple of great breakfast/lunch stops and a small Co-op grocery store on Grays Inn Road within 2-5 minutes walk from the townhouse…..very handy!!!
Many thanks again to Karen and Dani at Heritage Apartment Rentals for their assistance with our stay….we look forward to returning ASAP!!
This house was beyond all our expectations! Management were great at answering all my questions pre arrival.
Living space and kitchen are perfect for large families like ours, bedrooms a good size and having three bathrooms was a real bonus! All instructions provided so it was easy to work with the air con and other appliances.
Linen and towels were so comfortable and made sleeping like a dream! Barely any noise considering it's London.
Location was great, just a few minutes walk to the grocery store and a super cute coffee shop 1 min away.
Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!
The property manager was very responsive and helpful right from the start of the booking to departure.
Small issues encountered during the stay and a bit of delay in the refundable deposit, but all were sorted out promptly. I would have given the property a five star had it not been for the delay.
The property was as advertised. Location was great, just a short walk to many restaurants.
This is a great place to stay.
The people we dealt with (Karen at Heritage Apartments & Mark who drove us to/from Heathrow & whose services Karen arranged for us) were wonderful. Karen's service was prompt (she usually responded to my e-mails within a few minutes). Mark was friendly, helped us with our bags and got us to/from our destinations safely. But, the apartment itself was disappointing. We arrived on a warm April day (April 2017). It was hot inside. While it is billed as having air conditioning, I think that is a stretch. We could not get the air conditioners to cool to save our lives! So, we had windows opened for most of our stay. That took care of the climate control issues, but the street noise was substantial. The apartment sits on Roger Street and there was a fair amount of traffic on it most of the 6 days we were there. In addition, there is motorcycle parking immediately in front of the apartment. So, we have windows raised so that it is comfortable inside, but we hear cars and motorcycles frequently. In addition, there was construction occurring directly across Roger Street in front of the apartment. So, we heard construction noise each day starting fairly early in the morning (as in by 8:00 or 9:00 am most mornings). Finally, less than a block up Roger Street toward Grays Inn Road, there was a building whose fire alarm or burglar alarm went off twice - both times late at night or early in the morning. Honestly, it was like sleeping at the Indianapolis Speedway. Based upon the reviews of the property I read, I was expecting peace & tranquility. We found anything but. Then, there was the issue of the two upstairs bedrooms. First, the beds are mismatched to the rooms. The larger bed is in the smaller bedroom and the master bedroom has the smaller bed. That made the smaller bedroom upstairs an even tighter fit for the two adults we had in that room. The beds in the smaller room are advertised as twin beds that can be zipped together to make a larger bed. The reality is that they MUST be shoved together because there isn't enough room in that bedroom to separate them. Very, very tight quarters. The bedroom on the first floor was perfect, however. And its bathroom was wonderful compared to the two upstairs... The bathroom in the smaller upstairs bedroom is TINY. The sink is so small that you literally cannot wash your hands without getting water everywhere. The master bath was a good size, but smelled musty.
We left London exhausted!
Sitting in the borough of Camden, Bloomsbury exudes high culture and refinement without being pretentious. Bloomsbury has a well-healed yet understated atmosphere, despite its cultural, scientific and historical bragging rights. Bloomsbury gave it's name to an eponymous group of intellectuals which included Virginia Woolf.
The garden squares of Russell Square and Bloomsbury Gardens were laid out in the 17th century by the Russell Family. Flanked by Victorian era buildings sitting either site of that great institution the British Museum (10 minutes walk from the house) they contribute to the areas simple beauty. In the immediate area there are attractions such as The Foundling Museum and Charles Dickens Museum (2 mins walk). Today Bloomsbury retains that magical London quality of feeling like a village in a city with regular food markets and local shops.
If you are looking for Shopping, dining and the cinema, the Brunswick Centre (a pleasant 10 minute walk away) has great shops, cafe's restaurants and dining as well as the Curzon Cinema showing the latest blockbuster releases as well as arthouse films. Restaurants include Itsu, Carluccios and giraffe.
London's famous Covent Garden, home to museums, the Royal Opera House, theatres and the Piazza is a 20 minute walk or 10 minute hop on the bus away. Find a great mix of boutique, designer and high street shops as well as restaurants serving up every kind of cuisine imaginable. A few minutes walk beyond this takes you into the heart of the London's theatre district, the West End. Enjoy a play, musical or opera and dinner out in one of the world's preeminent theatre and dining areas.
Centred around Russell Square and the world famous, iconic, British Museum, the area is known for its plethora of world class institutions such as University College London, The British Medical Association and Great Ormond Street Hospital.
The house is situated 10 minutes from Chancery Lane tube station. Close by is Farringdon Station with services to the south coast and north to Hertfordshire. St Pancras International Station, the London terminus of Eurostar (1 mile) is 15 minutes via public transport or 20 minutes on foot. Services also run across the UK from here.

What does "X Factor's" $5 million recording-contract prize actually mean? On Friday, Simon Cowell explained it via satellite at the "X Factor" panel during the Television Critics Association's summer press tour in Los Angeles.
"The winner is guaranteed to walk away with $5 million in cash," Cowell said. "The $5 million is guaranteed."
And that's not all.
"In addition to a $5 million contract, Pepsi are giving the winner(s) of the show their own TV commercial in the Super Bowl, which is unbelievable," Cowell said. "It's the sort of thing they gave Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Britney Spears. It's a money-can't-buy prize. And that just makes the stakes that much more exciting."
Cowell also addressed reports of Mariah Carey participation on "X Factor." "There's certain sections of the show … where we do have well-known people helping us with the show," he said. "There's a section of the show I'm hoping Mariah will get involved in, and I spoke to her the other day. She's been enthusiastic from day one, but then selfishly got pregnant, which is why she didn't end up as a judge."
On the topic of judges, the famously caustic Brit said that though the show's promos have shown the group to be mean, they aren't intentionally that way. "That's just in us," he joked. And it sounds like some of the harsh comments are a response to the hopefuls. "The contestants are mean to us, sometimes we can be harsh back to them," said Cowell. "It's give and take."
He later added, "We've had to say to the 14-year-olds, 'Will you be kind to me?' because they are more lippy than any other contestants I've ever met in my life. I was quite traumatized after the auditions."
"There was this one kid in New York, you'll see him, he's a little rapper," said the judge. "He absolutely chewed me apart! But I quite liked that."
"X Factor" premieres at 8 p.m., Sept. 21 on Fox.
Do you think "X Factor's" huge cash prize will end up hurting "American "Idol"? Share your thoughts on our Facebook page.

I doubt it. But it's always dangerous to be playing against Sue in a close game. Shocked she missed that last shot.
At the very least, Seattle proved Minnesota is beatable. (not quite sure how they're beatable..but they are.)

I doubt it. But it's always dangerous to be playing against Sue in a close game. Shocked she missed that last shot.
At the very least, Seattle proved Minnesota is beatable. (not quite sure how they're beatable..but they are.)
I can't believe how close that game was. Wow.
I expected LA to give MN a tough series before I saw how this series played out. Will be interesting to see if they look like their confidence has been shaken in Game 1 of the WCF.
Time to go looking for tickets!
Wow, I thought LJ had Sue open on that last play, especially since she was struggling and Sue was feeling it... damn.
Really fantastic series, I honestly expected Seattle to get pounded. LA has more talent than Seattle, but they aren't nearly as mentally tough, so I expect Minnesota will take it's second trip to the finals.
ESPN2 seems to be running the Connecticut Sun feed, anyone know where I can get a feed where they show the Fever some respect?
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
What a game! Loved the hustle by Bri at the end to keep the ball in play and get it to Zellous. She dove head first into the first row seats only weeks removed from a concussion.
Incredible effort by Larkins on Charles all night. She pushed her out of the paint and frustrated her all night.
The 1-2 punch with Douglas and Catch was deadly tonight, especially at the end when Douglas converted on those two key drives to the hoop.
And Zellous... man, that girl is too much fun. Quiet night, but the confidence never wavers. I'll never forget we got her for a 2nd round pick from Detroit.
Can't wait for Thursday!
That end was INSANITY. GW shot was almost directly in front of me.
Confession: After the 13-2 start, I turned the game off and took a nap. I only got 3-4 hours of sleep last night and I just could not imagine spending the next couple of hours watching a beat down like that.
Imagine my surprise when I just checked the score. Wow! Watching the ESPN3 archive of the game right now.
Edit: I can hear the maracas on the broadcast. They must be really annoying if you're sitting right in front of them! haha.
I'll fully admit I paid no attention until the playoffs, but man, that ending was fun. When she blew the bunny off that sweet find from Catchings I thought the basketball gods were gonna end the season in OT.
When Tina Charles hits a contested three to open the game, you know it's going to be a tough night.
It's felt like an uphill battle all through the playoffs, but the Fever simply refuse to go down.
At the end of the 3rd quarter now. I love Larkins' toughness! Undersized at center, but she never stops battling for rebounds and she's a physical defender.
Am I the only one watching the game? If you want a depressing update Katie twisted her ankle bad. They had to take her to the hospital because there's no xray machine at the CT arena. On the bright side we're up 19 at half.
Yeah, it looked pretty bad. I've been impressed with how the team responded, but did anyone expect any less? This is not a team that folds under pressure. It starts with Catch and it's contagious. January had a bad first half, but she was resilient and had a stellar second half.
Hopefully we'll get Douglas back for Sunday's Game 1. Should be a good series against Minny.
I love this team. They come out swinging and when a key player goes down they just flat out whip the Sun on both ends of the floor. They may not win against the Lynx, but it's hard not to love the effort.
The Fever are just cursed at this stage when it comes to injuries, though. Catchings in Game 3 of the East finals in 2007, Catchings again in last year's East finals and now Douglas.
And now we can't even watch the Fever clinch it because of technical difficulties. Screw you, ESPN.
The Zellous buzzer beater in game 2 changed the course of this series.
Wow. Not sure how to feel. Great game, we just put it on them.
But Katie...can we win it all without Katie? My head says no, but I didn't expect this either. To have a fighting chance at least two out of three of the following will have to play the series of their lives: Zellous, January, and Phillips.
I don't think she'll be able to go Sunday. That ankle went all the way over.
They are going to have to lock her in her hotel room to keep her from going on Sunday.
And 2 hours after the Fever advance, the Tigers move on to the ALCS.
Road victories facing elimination are freaking awesome. I'm on freaking Cloud 9 right now.
If it just a severe sprain she will probably try to go anything more than that is when it gets tricky. Severe sprain just keep the swelling down, keep it loose and manage the pain .
Hopefully it is not as bad as it looked. It doesn't bode well when they take her to the hospital to get more exams.
Wow, Congrats to the Fever. I really hope Catch finally gets a ring, but its going to be a struggle with Katie, nevermind without her.
That said, the fact that Larkins was limping bothers me more. She's been great (and a surprise) with rebounding, and the Fever will need that.
My suggestion would be for the Fever to play incredibly physical. Slow the game down, ugly it up..and beat up the Lynx players. (Okay, you can't beat up Rebecca Brunson, but Maya Moore and Augustine don't like the contact...and if they don't play well, the Fever have a chance.)
January also, likely needs to have the best three games of her life.
I have to admit I about gave it up when Katie rolled her ankle. This time, though, the outside shooting came through and we lived by the jump shot.
It is hard for me to believe that a venue hosting professional sports of any kind nowadays doesn't have an x-ray machine.

Energy Expert Disputes Price Gouging Claims
Analyst says gas prices in Florida were in line with the rest of the country.
TAMPA -- While Florida officials pursue a gasoline price-gouging investigation, some energy experts say sharply higher prices at the pump as Hurricane Dennis approached don't appear out of line, according to the Tampa Tribune.
State Attorney General Charlie Crist and the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services have asked oil companies and gas stations for financial records, claiming they raised prices as much as $1 a gallon in one case after Gov. Jeb Bush declared a state of emergency July 7.
``We believe that they were price-gouging, trying to take advantage of people as they were evacuating,'' Crist told the paper. ``That's unconscionable.''
Mike Burdette, a senior analyst at the National Energy Information Center in Washington, D.C., said Florida gas prices before and during Hurricane Dennis rose in line with the increasing price of gasoline for August's contract. Those oil and gas futures prices directly influence what consumers end up paying at the pump.
``When I look at Florida prices in general, they are not out of line with the rest of the country,'' Burdette said.
From June 29 through July 7, the future delivery price of gasoline on the New York Mercantile Exchange skyrocketed 22 cents a gallon to $1.81 cents a gallon from $1.59 cents, he said.
That jump was prompted by the fear that an already tight supply of gasoline would get even tighter if Hurricane Dennis forced the shutdown of coastal refineries and oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, delayed shipping or knocked out pipelines, Burdette said.
The closest refinery to Florida, one in Pascagoula, Miss., shut down in early July and did not restart until this week, Burdette said.
``There are cases with hurricanes where there has been somebody taking advantage of people. It's certainly possible,'' Burdette said. ``But in the day- to-day gasoline business, we just don't see it.''
Crist disagreed. He said nearly 1,600 complaints about sharply rising gasoline prices flooded a hot line into his office after the emergency declaration July 7.
Under a state of emergency, businesses cannot raise prices on emergency necessities -- food, water, hotels, gasoline, lumber and generators -- to more than the average price over the 30 previous days.
``The concern that we had was that we saw prices go up over 30 cents a gallon within a 24-hour period of the governor declaring a state of emergency,'' Crist said.
Crist has asked for the financial records of Tate Oil Co., a distributor that delivers gasoline to Shell stations across Florida, and Motiva Enterprises LLC, the Houston-based supplier where Tate Oil purchases some of its gasoline.
At the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Commissioner Charles H. Bronson wants the financial records of 44 gasoline stations across Florida.
The statewide average for a gallon of self-serve, regular unleaded gasoline was $2.23 on July 1, Burdette said.
It climbed to $2.24 a gallon on July 7, and then jumped 4 cents a gallon the next day and about three cents more July 9, he said. It has hovered around $2.31 a gallon ever since, Burdette said.
Jim Smith, president and chief executive officer of the Florida Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association, defended price increases at retail gasoline stations across Florida.
RaceTrac, the Smyrna, Ga.-based company with the most stations targeted by Crist and Bronson, is a member of Smith's association.
He said he wouldn't defend the major oil companies. But they live and die based on market prices, Smith said.
``If the commodities market determines the price will go through the roof because of the storm in the Gulf of Mexico ... and they decide to raise prices 10 cents, that's what's going to happen,'' Smith said.

Last week you included information in your "Yesteryears" column regarding a fatal car accident in 1972. Jan. 5, 1972 is a date that my family and the other three families will never forget. It was not just a case of black ice and not only two men were involved. All those involved will be living with this day for the rest of our lives. For you it may seem some small piece of news from a long time ago. Believe me, the pain of that day never truly leaves. Our lives go on, but to see it in print every 10 years is very difficult. You have printed this information in 1982 and 1992. If some good could come from printing this piece of local history, I would find comfort, I can not find a reason for mentioning such a painful account, other than what you may regard as reader interest. Surely there must be other information to pass along that your readers would find interesting?
I am writing this for the other children who must grow up with the loss of a parent. Please stop and think about whether they may wish to have such a loss brought into print on each milestone year. The tragic events that you report on are not just "news." They have loved ones who are affected by what you write. Please try to keep this in mind. This is a loving community, our newspaper should be representative of this. I would also like to mention that 30 years ago a photo of my father, Joe Farley, was used on the front page of the Hood River News, not a picture of the crash site or the automobiles involved. Our family always appreciated that consideration.

Wow! What an amazing transformation! It really hits you when you see pictures of yourself pre-op and think "how did I live like that before?".
I'm hoping that they'll have an OH event close to me sometime - sounds like there's a lot of great information there.
Wow! Gorgeous. :)

SILENCING the bombs and bullets in Northern Ireland was always going to come at a price.
Having served there on three operational tours, I saw for myself how intractable the problem had become.
Only huge compromises would meet the demands of both sides of the sectarian divide and they came in the shape of the 1998 Good Friday agreement, negotiated by Tony Blair's government.
One aspect, certainly, was kept secret because it only came to light recently when a court case against a suspected IRA bomber collapsed at the Old Bailey.
John Downey, who denied murdering four soldiers in the 1982 Hyde Park atrocity, walked free because he had a letter from the government guaranteeing immunity from prosecution.
One of those soldiers killed was Anthony Daly, a colleague of mine.
After the case, it was further revealed that a further 186 so-called 'comfort-letters' were sent to IRA suspects between 2000 and 2012; all this without the knowledge of the public, Parliament or the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
It really does beggar belief and what grates is that, while these suspected terrorists are escaping justice, many former paratroopers continue to be pursued by the justice system for their role in the Bloody Sunday incident.
I am not saying for one minute that it's acceptable for soldiers to shoot civilians, but in the heat of the moment even the most disciplined unit can over react. I appreciate that for those who have not experienced a full-blown riot, my argument might be hard to follow.
But the point I'm making is that if IRA suspects have been given keep-out-of-jail cards, so, too, should our former soldiers.
Justice, or the lack of it, must be equitable if we are truly to lay the 'troubles' to rest.

HOUSTON — America is seeing the usually hidden costs of fossil fuels – an oil spill's potential for huge environmental and economic damage, and deaths in coal and oil industry accidents.

What about at LB?
How many injuries do we need to suffer before we are not adequately covered in every position, please?
I don't want a signature.
That would be slightly more than 22.
3 if strikers other than that we have players that can slot in adequately unlike last season so it would probably take something like 5 serious injuries. We are well covered at GK back four and midfield .
My thoughts exactly, although I've been thinking for months that our striker signing would be announced in the first few days of the window, so don't rely on me.
3 if strikers? We only have 3 strikers. I give up.
I don't want a signature.
sorry duplicate post.
If it was 2 we could adjust to play 4-5-1 so to not do that would take 3. In an ideal world we will bring in 1 striker that could possibly be an old head to do a BZ job.
Really could do with 5 in an ideal world.

Gov. Mark Dayton will visit Elk River in August.
He will be in downtown Elk River Thursday, Aug. 23, for the official Beyond the Yellow Ribbon certification. The certification will be held prior to the 7 p.m. Riverfront Concert Series at the River's Edge Commons Park.
"Gov. Dayton will be in attendance as the main speaker," said Elk River Mayor John Dietz.
The local Yellow Ribbon steering committee will meet soon to put together the program for the event, he said.
"It will be exciting to have the governor in town and equally as exciting to see Elk River officially proclaimed a Yellow Ribbon city," Dietz said.
Don Heinzman, chair of the local Yellow Ribbon steering committee, and the steering committee have put it a lot of time to make this become a reality, the mayor said.
"Becoming a Yellow Ribbon City says a lot of good things about the city of Elk River," he added.
Beyond the Yellow Ribbon is an effort to reach out to soldiers and their families dealing with deployment. It is a comprehensive program that creates awareness for the purpose of connecting service members and their families with community support, training, services and resources.
In one example locally, the wife of a deployed soldier in Otsego got her broken water heater fixed by a Beyond the Yellow Ribbon volunteer.
There are at least 186 National Guard personnel living in the immediate Elk River area, along with other members of the military services.
Those needing assistance are asked to call The Family Assistance Center in St. Cloud and they will put military families in contact with the local outreach program. The number is 320-255-2454. Those who want to volunteer services should call Kayla Stai at 763-367-7013.

America Is Using Tricks To Hide A Debt Crisis Worse Than Greece
Bruce Krasting
Mar. 10, 2012
When the federal government guarantees a student loan, that loan is subject to accounting treatment that was established by the 1990 Fair Credit and Reporting Act (FCRA). It should come as no surprise that the FCRA methodology is not "fair" at all.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) succinctly described the problem in a new report. (Link):
FCRA Treatment Does Not Give a Comprehensive Accounting of Federal Costs.
In CBO's view, FCRA-based cost estimates do not provide a full accounting of what federal credit programs actually cost the government because they do not incorporate the full cost of the risk associated with the loans.
A few questions come to mind:
How extensive is this problem?
Is there an alternative to FCRA?
How large is the understatement of risk at the federal level from the loan guaranty programs?
The answer to A is that the problem is enormous. CBO has provided some details:

'Due to recording commitments', N.E.R.D are unable to perform at Auckland's Vector Arena on February 26.
Hip-Hop act N.E.R.D, comprising of rappers Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo and Shay Haley, will not head up to Auckland for a live concert because they have canceled the planned show. The group were supposed to perform at Auckland's Vector Arena on February 26 as part of an Australian tour.
Without further explanation, promoters Future Entertainment claim the cancellation happens "due to recording commitments." There hasn't been any statement from N.E.R.D's management team regarding the pulling-off though. Full ticket refunds for the New Zealand show are available at the point of purchase.
Aside from dropping their gig in Auckland, N.E.R.D will make live appearances at several venues in Australia. They will be performing at Perth's Wellington Square on March 1 and at Sydney's Hordern Pavillion three days later. Their complete tour dates can be acquired via their official website.

Ask a Neurologist. Get Answers to Your Neurology Questions.
My son had a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain after a big fall when he was 2. Now he is 13 and still has trouble learning and is angry. Is there anything I can do to help him with his brain functioning?should I get an x-ray of his brain? Is there anything to reverse his injury in his brain. I am not even sure that the medication is helping. He is getting all D's and F's this year and can't seem to explain why. He just can't remember things.
An xray of the brain, or even CT of the brain is not likely to show anything significant, as that injury was so long ago. Even a MRI of the brain is not likely to show much.
Certainly, if the doctors want to get imaging of the brain, it would not be unreasonable.
But there would not be any specific medication or therapy that could "reverse" any injury in the brain (if there is one).
But these issues are probably better suited by seeing a neuropsychologist, who can evaluate him to see if he has a specific learning disability, or other issue impeding his ability in school.

Lieutenant Bobby Davis was a character in a recreation of Sainte Claire during World War II in 1944 on the holodeck. He was born in 1918.
In 1936, he spent a summer in France, during which he met and fell in love with Brigitte. They had seen I'm No Angel starring Mae West in the cinema before Bobby returned to America.
He returned to Sainte Claire as a lieutenant in the US 29th Infantry Division under Captain Miller on September 25, 1944 where he was reunited with a now pregnant Brigitte, who had joined the French Resistance. (VOY: "The Killing Game", "The Killing Game, Part II")

Blue Ribbon Bakery
One of the many Bromberg Bros. restaurants, Blue Ribbon Bakery began on a picturesque West Village corner nearly 15 years ago. Despite its many accolades including winner of the "Best Brunch in NYC," the restaurant is known for more that just sit down service. With its famous Old World oven at the heart of the operation, the kitchen also takes orders for bread from area restaurants as well as serving as the anchor of the renowned restaurant. The franchise has a smaller outpost steps away on Bedford Street that serves as a separate baking outlet with offerings such as raw Mexican honey, cured meats and cheeses, seasonings, juices, and, of course, a full selection of Blue Ribbon bread. Offering a colorful menu (illustrations and food alike) the restaurant is perfect place to start a night on the town, or to wind down after a long week.

Instead of trying to find ways for the TTC to lose less money, maybe it should start considering ways for buses, subways and streetcars to start making the city money. Here are four easy fixes that will have everyone's favourite transit commission gushing with black ink in no time.
Galley-Style Streetcars
The idea: Retrofit streetcars with oars, so that they resemble land-based versions of the Ancient Greek warships used to defeat Persia during the Peloponnesian Wars.
How it works: Chained two to a bench, passengers pull on rough-hewn oars while a pitiless coxswain shouts out a dreary rhythm and lashes anyone who falls out of step. When luxury cars or SUVs are spotted, they are rammed and plundered, with the TTC taking 25-per-cent cut of all booty.
Annual revenue: Electricity savings will almost certainly exceed $10-million, while ill-gotten loot could bring in another $25-million.
Subway Mining
The idea: The single greatest capital expense in mining is digging underground tunnels and fitting them with track. Toronto already has just such a network of tunnels running beneath it. So why not use them to mine precious gems and metals?
How it works: In lieu of fare, subway passengers donate a portion of their commute time to mineral extraction. For example, a lawyer who gets on at Davisville and off at King might stop at St. Clair to set explosives, or Wellesley to smelt raw ore pellets. An hour later, covered in a grimy layer of sweat and soot, she gets back on the subway and heads to work.
Annual revenue: $50-million alone in sales of terbium to China.
Wind-Powered Scarborough Rapid Transit
The idea: Thanks to the power of wind, for centuries mariners sailed the seas without burning so much as a drop of fossil fuel. So why not the SRT?
How it works: Using the wooden masts and square sails common on 17th-century tall ships, the SRT would rely on easterly and westerly gusts for propulsion. Due to trade winds, a commuter trying to get from Kennedy to McCowan might have to spend an entire winter at Ellesmere working as a rope-maker's apprentice before securing passage back home – but the savings in diesel fuel will make such "indirect costs" more than worth it.
Annual revenue: Electricity savings will exceed $10-million, with another $5-million generated by molasses, animal pelts and spice shipments, assuming Metrolinx adopts a mercantilist trade policy.
Cold-Fusion Powered Buses
The idea: In 1989, electrochemists Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons put a palladium cathode inside a flask of tepid heavy water and soon recorded excess levels of neutrons, deuterium and heat. In other words, cold fusion – the theoretical wet dream of boundless free energy that would change the course of history. Unfortunately, not a single scientist was ever able to consistently replicate cold fusion, but its incredible potential outweighs its real world limitations.
How it works: Replace all TTC bus engines with Tim Hortons traveller cups filled with heavy water. Insert cathode, slam hood shut and cross your fingers!
Annual revenue: If the TTC can meet a quarter of the world's energy demand – a conservative estimate – it could bring in $10-trillion in the first six months alone.Report Typo/Error

Sky Burial
by Michele Seminara
I look so unremarkable
but then I imagine
so do you.
And the secrets inside
that we like to hide
are probably boring too.
So listen
why don't we share them?
Cut our guts open
and air them?
We can have a sky burial
and invite birds of carrion
to transform
our dark feelings to food.
(First published in The Blue Hour Magazine 2013)

Tesla Motors has released some interesting graphs about the Roadsters efficiency and range.
Is this the response to the rumours that the Roadster is wasting too much of its stored energy by onboard equipment? It might be. Whatever the reason, the data consists of interesting graphs and show the relations of speed vs range, power vs speed etc.
You can find the data on TM website:

formerly i considered the tesla-ranges to be very unrealistic.
But having seen one, and considering weight (1238 kg), shape and the capacity of 50 kWh, i had to change that opinion.
Not using it's power, 15 kWh per 100 km are quite realistic. And more than 300 km range would fullfil 99.9 % of my transportation needs.
But of course, almost 500 kg of batteries ist something, i do not consider a good solution.
Far to much weight and cost to do something like that in an inexpensive car.

Suddenly, it feels like Toronto in the Eighties all over again. Marlene Smith just opened Cats, David Mirvish is bringing Les Miz in the fall – all that's missing is for Parachute Club to release a new album. Mind you, it's not quite the same. The feisty version of Cats that co-producer Smith unleashed on Tuesday isn't playing at the majestic Elgin Theatre this time, but the 700-seat Panasonic. In other words, the original mega-musical is no longer mega.
And that's a good thing. For those of us who aren't Cats fanciers, one of the biggest problems with the Andrew Lloyd Webber classic is that its razzle-dazzle trappings far exceed its modest source material – a batch of amusing children's poems by T.S. Eliot. Scale back some of the spectacle for a smaller venue, however, and the musical is exposed for what it is: a showcase for Lloyd Webber's facility as a composer and, in this case, for some terrific talent, both fresh and familiar.
Smith's new production, like her landmark one in 1985, boasts an all-Canadian cast. And she and her collaborators have cannily invited back some of the original participants, including performers Susan Cuthbert and Gino Berti – the latter now serving as choreographer. They've also recruited Ma-Anne Dionisio, star of the first Canadian production of Miss Saigon, so that it really feels like a throwback to Toronto's mega-musical heyday.
But it's also proof that, happily, an all-Canadian ensemble full of Broadway-class singer-dancers is no longer a big deal. There's plenty of knock-out vocalizing and – to steal an Eliot phrase – terpsichorean power to be enjoyed in this show, even if you can't escape the impression that you're just watching a series of variety acts strung together on the thinnest of plot threads.
We're in a moonlit junkyard, where a cluster of "Jellicle Cats" have gathered to await the judgment of their elder, Old Deuteronomy (Charles Azulay, looking a lot like Bert Lahr's Cowardly Lion). At some point, he will decide which of them gets to ascend to a cat paradise known as the Heaviside Layer. In the meantime, they educate us in their Jellicle ways and introduce us to their Jellicle brethren.
These include Cuthbert's lazy tabby Jennyanydots – lazy, that is, when she isn't tap-dancing up a storm. And the maddeningly contrary Rum Tum Tugger, played by sexy Martin Samuel like a feline Freddie Mercury. Then there's the mischievous duo of Mungojerrie (Michael Donald) and Rumpleteazer (Neesa Kenemy), who regale us with their antics in the style of a vaudeville team.
The second act is reserved for the big set pieces: the Italian opera spoof, sung with panache by Cory O'Brien as the ruffian Growltiger; the ode to the indispensable railway cat Skimbleshanks (a frenetically charming Jay T. Schramek); the conjurings of magical Mr. Mistoffelees (a sleekly acrobatic Devon Tullock). And, of course, there's Memory , the show-stopping ballad by Grizabella, the long-faded glamour cat, with lyrics cobbled together from Eliot's more serious poetry. It's delivered here by Dionisio with full-on diva brio. Oddly, though, I found her performance less moving than O'Brien's gentle portrayal of Gus, the palsied old Theatre Cat who recalls his past stage glories.
Director Dave Campbell brings some fresh ideas to his staging, while Berti fondly replicates Gillian Lynne's original kitty choreography. Tim Webb's production design envisions the junkyard as an overflowing landfill, complete with lurking backhoe. But to be finicky, not all of his junk items are to cat-scale. And an attempt to jazz up the Heaviside Layer finale with some holographic effects is just confusing and silly.
Lona Davis's eight-piece band attacks the score like famished strays going after a dish of cream. They remind us of Lloyd Webber's musical versatility. Dawn Rivard's shaggy wigs and Lisa Magill's spandex costumes remind us of something else – all those glam-metal bands that flourished at the same time Cats first hit the stage. We really are back in the eighties.Report Typo/Error

we put this in our entire basement, looks beautiful. It was really easy to install, our kids even helped. So far no scratches or dents. The varations in color looks awesome, if you are looking for flooring that is more uniform this is not for you, there is alot of varation but it looks very rich. Our basement has a modern look to it and this floor would also work in a formal area.

It hasn't come up much but our children do know about sex, from a young age, and about child birth. I fielded a few curious questions when I was pregnant. I am the type of person who will try to answer any question my children ask me the best I can and then point them to a webpage explaining in detail. If I can answer the questions openly and not be embarrassed they will understand there is no need to be judgemental about human sexuality.
IMO if you introduce a concept early enough they accept it easily. They also come to you for information when they need it, or trust you to point them in the right direction.
I also broadly plan on introducing concepts like respect, no means no, and contraception when they are old enough to be in a relationship.Also want to try to outline that sex, masturbation,are normal and healthy when I believe they are old enough to understand that message.
SO basically I plan on breaking down all the information into chunks that I feel are relevant tO their development at that time. Not a single talk, but many.
I do remember the puberty talks at school, they were fairly formative to me, we roared with laughter at the video but the basic information I found useful for the rest of my life.
Why do other parents delay? Are they worried about overloading their child?

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 15, 2003-- Transaction Allows for MacroPore to Receive up to an Additional $13 Million
MacroPore Biosurgery, Inc. (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: XMP) (MacroPore) announced today it has agreed to sell the thin film product line, which includes SurgiWrap(TM), CardioWrap(TM) and HerniaMesh(TM), for $12 million to privately held Medicis Ventures Management GmbH (Medicis Ventures). A syndicate of international investors led by Medicis Ventures will establish a privately held medical device company to further develop and market these products internationally and in the United States. The transaction is expected to close before January 23, 2004.
Under the terms of the agreement, MacroPore will receive an upfront payment of $7 million at the January closing and a $5 million payment before year-end 2004, with additional revenues from a back-up supply commitment to Medicis Ventures. Over the next three to five years, MacroPore could receive up to $13 million or more in additional milestone payments, royalties and revenues for collaborating with Medicis Ventures on regulatory and distribution of SurgiWrap in Japan, the world's second largest market for anti-adhesion barriers. Further, MacroPore will retain an exclusive, royalty-free license for applications of the thin film technology for spinal surgeries and a non-exclusive, royalty-free license for delivery of regenerative applications.
"The sale of the thin film product line strengthens our balance sheet and will allow the company to focus its efforts on our two core regenerative medicine business units, spine & orthopedics and cardiovascular cell therapy," said Chris Calhoun, MacroPore's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We believe both business units uniquely complement each other and our company's fundamental strengths as both aim to discover, develop and commercialize innovative regenerative medicine products."
A group of international investors led by Medicis Ventures, a private equity firm specialized on investments in the life science sector, and Ari Bizimis, former director and chief financial officer of MacroPore, will establish the privately held medical device company to develop and market the thin film surgical implants. The new company will be based in Europe, and will have a subsidiary in San Diego, CA. It will assume leased space within MacroPore's San Diego campus that is currently dedicated to the development and marketing of SurgiWrap. The privately held medical device company will be co-led by Kai Deusch, Managing Director and founder of Medicis Ventures, and Mr. Bizimis.
"There is a significant and rapidly growing market opportunity utilizing the 'thin film technology' of the SurgiWrap product family," said Dr. Deusch. "Based on our recent market experience and growing body of pre-clinical and clinical evidence, we believe that the SurgiWrap product offers a safe, effective and elegant solution to minimize the attachment of soft tissues after surgery. We expect to accelerate the adoption of this technology in the marketplace by focusing our new company's efforts exclusively on this product and its derivatives."
2004 Revenue Guidance Update
As a result of the transaction, MacroPore is revising its 2004 revenue guidance from $19 to $22 million to $17.5 to $19.5 million. Projected spine & orthopedics implant product revenues and revenue from other sources remain unchanged at $15 to $16 million and up to $1 million respectively, while projected thin film revenues have been lowered to $1.5 to $2.5 million, under the back-up supply agreement.
About MacroPore Biosurgery

When a picture online is suspected of being faked in some way, we'll often see a chorus of commenters chiming in with "Photoshop." And sometimes just "Shopped!" from the excitable word-clippers among us.
But the practice of doctoring pictures has been going on much longer than Photoshop has been around. In the description of a new exhibit of vintage manipulated photos at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, they write…
While Photoshop and other digital editing programs have brought about an increased awareness of the degree to which photographs can be manipulated, photographers…have been fabricating, modifying, and otherwise manipulating camera images since the medium was first invented.

Severe sprain/partial tear of the MCL...no surgery or any kind of recommendation made. I use ice packs on my hip and knee at night so I can sleep. Forward motion is ok but no twisting motion w/o pain. The knee stiffens if I sit upright with my feet down (dining or driving).

I'm looking for a 10" blade Highly polished Bowie Knife with a brass or silver whatever you call it and bone or antler handle. Sharp enough to shave with.
I wish to have "We the People..." in Calligraphy on one side of the blade and on the other I'll have the 10th amendment inscribed.
Just picked up a Springfield double-barreled .410 yesterday. Very good condition even though most of the bluing is gone. I think it will trade for about $150 more than I paid for it.
But I gotta try it on the skeet range first.
(Note: I couldn't hit **** today....getting a coaching session Friday)
Went out on the Sporting Clays range yesterday.....hit a lot more birds but still not great. I had never tried that before, I can see why people get so hooked on it.
But I'm still slow seeing the birds. More practice? New glasses? Different gun?
Oh and speaking of........Colt New Agent in .45 ACP with 3" barrel.
(edit) not sure I like this...it can only be carried with the chamber empty and the hammer down or a shell in the chamber and the hammer fully cocked. There is no half-cocked position I'm not comfortable carrying it in that position) Oh seriously? I can say cocked but not half-****???
Where does the light at the end of the tunnel go?

you could do like we used to do in the hay fields....stack em 5 bales high and a tie.
(We'd stack a hay wagon 3 bales across front to back on each layer, 5 bales (layers) deep and then a single sixth level had a single bale down the middle to tie it together so the whole shebang wouldn't topple off the wagon.)

Mental health reform 'at risk'
Health professionals have warned that shortages of specialist staff could damage plans to reform mental health laws.
Those who would suffer include children and people with eating disorders.
The warning was given during a meeting of the Scottish Parliament's Finance Committee
MSPs were looking at the funding available for a new bill backed by the Scottish Executive.
Dr Jim Dyer, director of the Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland, said there would have to be "a very significant expansion" of mental welfare officers and consultants.
He said: "Clearly the bill will not work properly unless enough is provided for the necessary number of mental welfare officers who have specific responsibilities under the bill."
He said the Royal College of Psychiatry had estimated the bill would create a need for between 18 and 28 more consultants.
Dr Dyer said: "There are some areas of the service where there are unacceptably long waiting lists."
He said this was a problem in children's services, for people with eating disorders and those needing to see psychologists.
He said: "Clearly these are area difficulties which may well need to be made up if the aspirations of the bill are going to be properly implemented," said Dr Dyer.
Dr Lindsay Burley, chair of the NHS Scotland Board chief executives' group, said the bill would place particular stress on psychiatrists and mental health officers.
Pay review
She added: "There is a concern that the tribunal system may pull staff, already stretched and in short supply, away from the service."
Jim Brown, head of the Scottish Executive's public health division, said those in charge of the bill were considering the potential workforce problems "very carefully".
He said: "We are aware of the potential pitfalls and the implications to be considered, both in terms of workloads for psychiatrists and mental health officers."
Mr Brown said the executive was already carrying out a review of pay structures across the NHS and that a special group had been set up to look specifically at mental health staff.
