Uniform Madness: Maryland upsets Maryland!!!
- Updated: April 16, 2012
Maryland's yellow jerseys voted worst uniform of all
Sometimes a Cinderella team can win the big prize at the end. Maryland's yellow jersey uniform combinations, a five-seed out of the Oregon Region, have stunned Maryland's much-maligned state pride uniforms, the tournament's top-overall seed from the Maryland Region, in the championship round of our Worst College Football Uniform Tournament. You, the readers, voted the yellow jersey combo from the Terps to be worse than the State Pride uniforms? Honestly, I don't know what you are all thinking, but this is a democratic society and the votes were counted by an independent source, so c'est la vie.
Maryland's yellow football jerseys received 56.67 percent of the votes in the championship round over the course of the week. Quite frankly, this is a significant upset, because I actually kind of like Maryland's yellow jerseys (fully aware that it violates the Yellow Uniform Code). So why so much disdain for this particular uniform compared to the one that actually looks like two separate uniforms sewn together in a middle school home economics family and consumer sciences class?
Maryland's yellow jersey reached the championship round by knocking off Colorado State's own yellow jerseys in the Final Four, Pittsburgh's 2010 Pro Combat uniform, Stanford's all-black uniform, and Virginia Tech's orange helmet uniform combo.
From here we will begin to put together the 2013 Worst Uniform Tournament, which will begin next March with a full 64-uniform tournament. Until then the selection committee will review the profiles of all eligible participants for the next tournament. With Missouri showing off their new uniforms over the weekend and Eastern Michigan ready to sport a new uniform assortment as well, we know we are going to have a number of uniforms to review for the 2013 tournament.

Angels Flight (or Angel's Flight) is a landmark, 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge[3] funicular railway in the Bunker Hill district of Downtown Los Angeles, California. It has two funicular cars: Sinai and Olivet.
The funicular has operated on two different sites, using the same cars and iconic station elements. The original Angels Flight location, with tracks connecting Hill Street and Olive Street, operated from 1901 until it was closed in 1969, when its site was cleared for redevelopment.
The second Angels Flight location opened nearby to the south in 1996, with tracks connecting Hill Street and California Plaza. It was re-closed in 2001, after a fatal accident, and took nine years to commence operations again, on March 15, 2010.[4] It was closed again from June 10, 2011, to July 5, 2011, and then again after a minor incident on September 5, 2013. The investigation of this 2013 incident led to the discovery of potentially serious safety problems in both the design and the operation of the funicular, and Angels Flight service has been suspended since that time with no timetable for restored service.[5][6]
Before the 2013 service suspension, the cost of a one-way ride is 50 cents (25 cents for Metro pass holders).
Built in 1901 with financing from Colonel J.W. Eddy, as the Los Angeles Incline Railway, Angels Flight began at the west corner of Hill Street at Third and ran for two blocks uphill (northwestward) to its Olive Street terminus. Angels Flight consisted of two vermillion "boarding stations" and two cars, named Sinai and Olivet, pulled up the steep incline by metal cables powered by engines at the upper Olive Street station. As one car ascended, the other descended, carried down by gravity.[7][8][9][10] An archway labeled "Angels Flight" greeted passengers on the Hill Street entrance, and this name became the official name of the railway in 1912 when the Funding Company of California purchased the railway from its founders.[11]
The original Angels Flight was a conventional funicular, with both cars connected to the same haulage cable. Unlike more modern funiculars it did not have track brakes for use in the event of cable breakage, but it did have a separate safety cable which would come into play in case of breakage of the main cable. It operated for 68 years with a good safety record.[12]
The only fatality that involved the original Angels Flight occurred in the autumn of 1943, when a sailor attempting to walk up the track was crushed beneath one of the cars.[11]
In November 1952, the Beverly Hills Parlor of the Native Daughters of the Golden West erected a plaque to commemorate fifty years of service by the railway.
— Built in 1901 by Colonel J.W. Eddy, lawyer, engineer and friend of President Abraham Lincoln, Angels Flight is said to be the world's shortest incorporated railway. The counterbalanced cars, controlled by cables, travel a 33 percent grade for 315 feet. It is estimated that Angels Flight has carried more passengers per mile than any other railway in the world, over a hundred million in its first fifty years. This incline railway is a public utility operating under a franchise granted by the City of Los Angeles. —[13]
In 1962, at its first meeting, the city's new Cultural Heritage Board designated Angels Flight a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (No. 4), along with four other locations. Los Angeles was early in enacting preservation laws, and the first sites chosen each were "considered threatened to some extent," according to the history of the board, now the Cultural Heritage Commission.[1]
The railway was closed on May 18, 1969[14][15][16] when the Bunker Hill area underwent a controversial total redevelopment which destroyed and displaced a community of almost 22,000 working-class families renting rooms in architecturally significant but run-down buildings, to a modern mixed-use district of high-rise commercial buildings and modern apartment and condominium complexes. All the components of Angels Flight were placed in storage in anticipation of the railway's restoration and reopening.
After 27 years in storage, the funicular was rebuilt and reopened on February 24, 1996, half a block south of the original site.[17] Although the original cars, Sinai and Olivet, were used, a new track and haulage system was designed and built, a redesign which had unfortunate consequences five years later. As rebuilt, the funicular was 91 meters (298.6 feet) long on an approximately 33-percent grade. Car movement was controlled by an operator inside the upper station house, who was responsible for visually determining that the track and vehicles were clear for movement, closing the platform gates, starting the cars moving, monitoring the operation of the funicular cars, observing car stops at both stations, and collecting fares from passengers. The cars themselves did not carry any staff members.[12] Angels Flight was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 13, 2000.
On February 1, 2001, Angels Flight had a serious accident that killed a passenger, Leon Praport (age 83), and injured seven others, including Praport's wife, Lola. The accident occurred when car Sinai, approaching the upper station, reversed direction and accelerated downhill in an uncontrolled fashion to strike car Olivet near the lower terminus.[12]
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) conducted an investigation into the accident and determined that the probable cause was the improper design and construction of the Angels Flight funicular drive and the failure of the various regulatory bodies to ensure that the railway system conformed to initial safety design specifications and known funicular safety standards. The NTSB further remarks that the company that designed and built the drive, control, braking, and haul systems, Lift Engineering/Yantrak, is no longer in business and that the whereabouts of the company's principal is unknown.[12]
Unlike the original, the new funicular used two separate haulage systems (one for each car), with the two systems connected to each other, the drive motor, and the service brake by a gear train; it was the failure of this gear train that was the immediate cause of the accident since it effectively disconnected Sinai both from Olivet's balancing load and from the service brake. There were emergency brakes that acted on the rim of each haulage drum, but due to inadequate maintenance the emergency brakes for both cars were inoperative, which left Sinai without any brakes once its physical connection to the service brake was lost. Contrary to what might be expected, the new funicular was constructed with neither safety cable nor track brakes, either of which would have prevented the accident; the NTSB was unable to identify another funicular worldwide that operated without either of these safety features.[12]
Records indicate that the emergency brake had been inoperative for 17 to 26 months due to the fact that a normally closed hydraulic solenoid valve had been placed in a location where the design called for a normally open valve and that its ill fitted solenoid was burned out.
During the 17 to 26 months that the emergency braking system was not operating, the braking system was tested daily, but since the service brake and emergency brake were tested simultaneously, there was no way to tell if the emergency brake was functioning without looking at the brake pads or hydraulic pressure gauges during the test. The test was always performed with the Sinai car traveling uphill, which meant that when the power was cut and the brakes applied (as part of the test), Sinai's momentum caused the car to continue moving uphill a short distance (slackening the cable) and then to roll back from gravity, jerking the cable tight.
If the emergency brakes had been functional, they would have caught Sinai when the cable snapped tight, but without the emergency brakes, the force of the jerk caused by the daily test was directed through the spline (the part that failed) and to the service brake. In addition, it was found that the original design called for the spline to be made of AISI 1018 steel on one drawing and of AISI 8822 steel on a different drawing, but it is unlikely that this ambiguity in the design contributed to the accident.[18] However, regular analysis of gear box oil-samples was discontinued in May 1998, despite the fact that the company performing the tests recommending that the rising particulate level in the oil samples warranted the test occurring more frequently.[12] The continued rising particulate level may have been in part caused by unusual wear of the splines. Continued testing could have resulted in an inspection to locate the cause of the unusual wear.
Besides the design failures in the haulage system, the system was also criticised by the NTSB for the lack of gates on the cars and the absence of a parallel walkway for emergency evacuation. The funicular suffered serious damage in the accident.
The death and injuries could have been avoided if any one of the following had taken place:[18]
On November 1, 2008, both of the repaired and restored Angels Flight cars, Sinai and Olivet, were put back on their tracks and, on January 16, 2009, testing began on the railway.[19][20] On November 20, 2009, another step in the approval process was achieved.[21] On March 10, 2010, the California Public Utilities Commission approved the safety certificate for the railroad to begin operating again.[22][23]
The new drive and safety system completely replaced the system which was the cause of the fatal 2001 accident. Like the original Angels Flight design and most traditional funicular systems, the new drive system incorporates a single main haulage cable, with one car attached to each end. Also like the original design, a second safety cable is utilized. To further enhance safety, unlike the original design, each car now has a rail brake system, as a backup to the main backup emergency brakes on each bull-wheel. Another added safety feature is an independent evacuation motor to move the cars should the main motor fail for any reason.[24]
Angels Flight reopened to the public for riding on March 15, 2010. The local media covered the event with positive interest.[25] Only a month after re-opening, Angels Flight had had over 59,000 riders.[26] Today it connects the Historic Core and Broadway commercial district with the hilltop Bunker Hill California Plaza urban park and the Museum of Contemporary Art - MOCA. The cost of a one-way ride is currently 50 cents, 25 cents with TAP card.
On June 10, 2011, the California Public Utilities Commission ordered Angels Flight to immediately cease operations due to wear on the steel wheels on the two cars. Inspectors determined that their fifteen-year-old wheels needed replacing.[27] It reopened on July 5, 2011, after eight new custom-made steel wheels were installed on the two cars.[28]
On September 5, 2013, one car derailed near the middle of the guideway. One passenger was on board the derailed car, and five passengers were on board the other car. There were no injuries. Passengers had to be rescued from the cars by firefighters. The brake safety system had been bypassed with a wooden stick.[6][29]
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause of the September 5, 2013, accident was the intentional bypass of the funicular safety system with Angels Flight management knowledge; and Angels Flight management continuation of revenue operations despite prolonged, and repeated, unidentified system safety shutdowns.
— National Transportation Safety Board , Railroad Accident Brief [6]
The NTSB also noted a problem with the basic design: "The car body and the wheel-axle assembly are not articulated." The passing section of the track involves a short turning section which allows the cars to pass each other. The axles do not turn to follow the track, resulting in the wheel flanges grinding against the rail, causing excessive wheel wear. This problem, combined with safety system problems which caused unwanted track brake deployment, resulted in a derailment.[6] Angels Flight remains closed pending resolution of all these problems.

The sounds and feel of Oblique – Max for Live synth
The sounds and feel of Oblique, a Max for Live synth made for KONKREET PERFORMER.
It's here > konkreetlabs.com/oblique/
and it's free!
Oblique is a Max for Live synthesizer which is completely mapped to Konkreet Performer. As a regular synthesizer, it receives MIDI notes from any MIDI device. Unlike regular synthesizers, the timbre of the sound is controlled by OSC messages coming from the abstract interface of Performer.
The main idea behind the synthesizer was to avoid the use of sliders and knobs, and remove technical descriptions of the synthesis process. Being completely controlled by the main geometrical object of Performer, Oblique allows you to shape your sound without thinking about what is inside the box.
Oblique has been designed, from the beginning, to fit both the interface and the visuals of Performer. Hence, it is not a general purpose synthesizer, but more an audiovisual entity that you can shape and which will react in a certain way. Of course you can use it just for its sound, but Oblique reveals its
true nature when working hand in hand with the visuals. As an additional feature, Oblique can be controlled uniquely from Performer, without MIDI input. It means that you can play it entirely by manipulating the geometrical object, while the graphics in the background give you visual feedback.

Pour oil into a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot and when it is smoking hot, gradually whisk in the flour, forming a 'roux'. Continue stirring the roux, whisking constantly until it begins to deepen in colour. Be careful it is very hot! When the roux is deep golden brown add the onions, green peppers and celery. Cook for a few minutes until they have softened. Add the chicken broth and stir until thickened. Add the sausages, shrimp, tomatoes, okra and spice blend. Taste, then season with salt and pepper as desired. Add more Louisiana spice blend if you like. Simmer until the sausages and shrimp are cooked through.

Love this product. A very small amount goes a long way on this naturally blonde hair.
I see no positive benefit when I put this in my hair. If I use just a little, I see nothing. More and it gets almost damp and heavy. I would liken it to putting hand cream in your hair as this is exactly what it feels like to me. And it doesn't smell nice either.
i would say this is one of the best products i have found. i have been a hairdresser for 43 years and used a lot of products, this is one of the best.try it you will love it
I have long, fine, thin and breakable hair, colored. A tiny (TINY) dab of this, warmed in hands, and patted here and there but mostly on lower portions of hair creates a fabulous bright glow, a sheen that is very flattering. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. (They say use on dry hair only; it's important.)

But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free.

Life is brought down to the basics: if you are warm, regular, healthy, not thirsty or hungry, then you are not on a mountain. . . . Climbing at altitude is like hitting your head against a brick wall – it's great when you stop
Chris Darwin ,The Social Climbers
The first question which you will ask and which I must try to answer is this, "What is the use of climbing Mount Everest?" and my answer must at once be, "It is no use." There is not the slightest prospect of any gain whatsoever. Oh, we may learn a little about the behavior of the human body at high altitudes, and possibly medical men may turn our observation to some account for the purposes of aviation. But otherwise nothing will come of it. We shall not bring back a single bit of gold or silver, not a gem, nor any coal or iron. We shall not find a single foot of earth that can be planted with crops to raise food. It's no use. So, if you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain and goes out to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward, then you won't see why we go. What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what life is for
George Leigh Mallory, 1922
MEN WANTED…For Hazardous Journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success…

If the conquest of a great peak brings moments of exultation and bliss, which in the monotonous, materialistic existence of modern times nothing else can approach, it also presents great dangers. It is not the goal of "grand alpinisme" to face peril, but it is one of the tests one must undergo to deserve the joy of rising for an instant above the state of crawling grubs

You cannot stay on the mountain forever. You have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know
Rene Daumel, Mont Analogue
Rise early. Fix a time-table to which you must try to keep. One seldom regrets having made an early start, but one always regrets having set off too late; first for reasons of safety-the adage 'it is later than you think' is very true in the mountains-but also because of the strange beauty of the moment: the day comes to replace the night, the peaks gradually lighten, it is the hour of mystery but also of hope. Setting off by lantern-light, witnessing the birth of a new day as one climbs to meet the sun, this is a wonderful experience
Gaston Rebuffat, from On Snow and Rock, 1959
I suggest going out to the nearest pub and getting completely, and utterly, wasted. Make sure you smoke at least 1 pack of unfiltered Camel's. Get the full ashtray, pour a drink in it and then pour the mixture into a water bottle. When you get home (ideally around 3:30am) stick the vile mixture into your freezer. Put on your best goretex and thermal layer. Climb in. At 5:30am, get out, drink (chew?) the mixture and go run the biggest flight of stairs you can find. Run until your heart threatens to explode. Your dehydration caused by the alcohol should adequately simulate what you may experience at higher altitudes. Your lung capacity should be sufficiently impaired by the smokes to simulate a oxygen poor environment. The freezer episode should adequately replicate a bivy. Drinking the booze/butt mixture should simulate your lack of appetite….. Oh " once your finished your workout, go to work (to replicate the long walk out)."
Greg Hamilton suggesting the feeling of climbing at altitude
Mountains have a way of dealing with overconfidence
Hermann Buhl
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free. The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; and the realist adjusts the sails."
William Arthur Ward
To those who have struggled with them, the mountains reveal beauties that they will not disclose to those who make no effort. That is the reward the mountains give to effort. And it is because they have so much to give and give it so lavishly to those who will wrestle with them that men love the mountains and go back to them again and again. The mountains reserve their choice gifts for those who stand upon their summits
Sir Francis Younghusband
Do not burn yourself out. Be as I am-a reluctant enthusiast… a part time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still there. So get out there and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains. Run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to your body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those deskbound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards
Edward Abbey

Full Skit Performance
NSPPT Charity Video
- Current Mood: cheerful
Not too much to say but I've been getting heavily involved in some charity work for a cause that's close to my heart. Just want to spread the message and get some awareness for an often overlooked segment of society.
There are some campaign posters after the cut, please be aware that some people may find the images quite harrowing.
( Posters are safe for work.Collapse )
- Current Mood: thoughtful
Well, been having some delightful fun with our letting agency.
- Current Mood: angry
We are located in block T alongside Gotham Row, which I assume means that we are protected by the Batman. So why not drop on by and give a massive middle finger to winter and buy one of our lovely T-shirts.
A larger map showing the full Expo layout can be found here.
- Current Mood: excited
Well another Ayacon has come and gone and yet again the committee put on a superb show with queues and delays practically nonexistent. So in honour of the good time I had this weekend just gone I thought I'd do a proper con write up for a change as I have not done one in a while.
- Current Mood: accomplished
Now before I continue I point out that though I have some basic knowledge of the DC comic franchise this is based on I am not a Green Lantern fan, and I don't know enough about the lore to say how well the makers have translated the characters in the comic onto the big screen. This review is from the viewpoint of someone coming in relatively fresh as it were.
I'll continue after the cut but be aware there will be some spoilers.
( In brightest day and something something...Collapse )
read this blog post by the ever awesome Tom. It has a comic drawn by my fine self which while not the greatest example of artistic talent I still find myself quite pleased with it :)
If you have a moment why not take a few minutes to brand spanking new T-shirts designs (or better yet buy them) and come over and say hi. The handy map below will show you where to find us.
Well London Expo kicks off tomorrow so if you're coming along at any point why not marvel at our
link this picture which is the end result of what happens when I don't have WoW eating up my time and I suddenly get creative in photoshop.
Please note the image contains swearing so if you're at work watch yourself.

44 year old man | Greenville, SC, USA | Seeking women 27-35 within 100 miles
I'm not looking for perfect, just someone perfect for me.
I'm a straightforward guy with a sharp whit that's just as likely to be used in self depreciation as it is to make comical observations of the world around me. I'm never one to back down from what's right but I'm never too proud to admit when I'm wrong. I'm old school when it comes to opening doors, rescuing those in distress and taking/giving a beating in the pursuit of protecting those who need it. I'm a horrible politician and loath political correctness. My group of friends is small and respect is the foundation on which the friendship is built. I believe that kindness is sometimes taken for weakness but only by those lacking in character. I have no fear of the future as I've already seen my demise at the hands of a Lithuanian avocado picker at the age of 67.....Ok...I just made that up. But in all seriousness, if my profile does catch your eye... you could do a lot worse.

I think that the ECL86 is the right valve for the audio stage - if you look at some of the other components, such as the IF transformers, these are also smaller (and probably more modern) than you see on late 50s/early 60s valve jobs which would place this one mid to late 60s. By this time ECL82s had been superceded. As to finding a schematic, if this set was an export model (it is a large chassis for so few components) designed for specific markets, perhaps originally a console model, a schematic might be hard to track down. |

Actually if you can find any schematic for something similar it would probably give you a good idea of what is happening. Birmingham? -- i was just talking to a buddy of mine (from here) that plays LooseHead for Birmingham. dave

I've had a quick check through my schematics, but I have nothing for Pilot after about 1963 - possibly the brand name went into disuse in the UK, the sets being released under another name.
As regards the ECL82, its just that by the mid-1960s UK manufacturers were preferring the ECL86 for output stages in radio and gram applications, and in pp circuits also. I think the ECL82 is a good workmanlike tube, I still got a few and one or two small amps using them in pp. Er... what's a Loosehead? |

6BM8 was very popular with the Japanese, i haven't seen it in any European amps, and only a few US amps.

I'm surprised by that - the ECL82/6BM8 was a popular choice for the output stages in UK made radios in the latter 1950s/early 1960s. I've come across them on many occasions. Also a popular choice for single tube record player amps, in hybrids sometimes using the pentode's cathode bias resistor to develop a voltage to supply a transistorised AM tuner. So... thats what a loosehead is, and I was made (forced!) to play rugby at school. Edyerkation aint what it used to be! |

Time to be bored to death
As far as I can remember, the P/ECL83 was the first to go out of favour with the designers, then the P/ECL82. The P/ECL86 was the last of the triode/pentodes with this nomenclature. In the UK another nomenclature was also used for a parallel (though not equivalent in any sense) family of triode/pentodes: 30PL12, 30PL13, 30PL14 come to mind. The first number might be wrong, or different - it referred to the heater voltage or current. There's more where that came from Cheers, |

lovely old triode pentodes
I think you're right, we don't need to pursue the development of the whole series of triode pentodes, otherwise we'll end up with the universal series also, the UCL82, UCL83 (but not a UCL86, at least, I've never seen one)! What might be more useful is if anyone knows if Pilot radios were released in the UK under another brand name by the latter 1960s, because then we might be able to track down a schematic for DJev. |

Well, I had a look, and they all look too early. Not a hint of European valve codes. Perhaps there were two Pilots?

What made it extra special was my son, John Paul, had a hole in one on the same hole a few years back. WOW what a feeling!! Thanks Titleist! Tim Radley

By helping you earn miles or points toward airfare, hotel stays, and more, travel rewards cards can be a great way to make your next trip more affordable. Whether you're a frequent business traveler wanting elite perks or a family looking to save, you should be able to find a travel rewards card that's right for you.
How to Choose a Travel Credit CardWhen deciding on a credit card for travel, you need to decide what type of benefit is most important to you. Click on any of the links below to find out more information about cards that will pay you back in points or rewards for: Travel RewardsIf you like to travel but are not loyal to any particular airline, try the Barclaycard Arrival Plus or Chase Sapphire Preferred. Both cards offer flexible travel rewards and both have no foreign transaction fees.
Travel OffersInternational Travel Airline Hotel Gas Redeeming Points Also consider how you would like to book your reward travel: some cards require you to book through the card issuer's website, while others have more flexible options. Be sure to review the card's terms and conditions to see whether it has blackout dates or other restrictions on redeeming points. Most travel and airline credit cards require very good to excellent credit to apply. Like most rewards cards, travel and airline credit card offers tend to charge higher interest rates compared to other types of credit cards, so if you don't plan on paying your balance in full each month, consider a low interest credit card instead.

Travel Rewards BenefitsTravel rewards credit cards not only help you save money on expenses, such as flights and hotel rooms, they also usually offers points (or miles) that can be redeemed toward other discounts or benefits. A travel-focused credit card might also provide additional benefits when it is used to pay for travel expenses. The majority of travel rewards credit cards work like regular rewards cards, with cardholders earning a certain number of points for each dollar spent on purchases using the card. The difference is that cards focused on travel rewards usually offer bonuses, either when you use them to pay for travel-related expenses, or when you redeem points for travel savings. Some examples may include:
A Focus on BusinessMany credit cards aimed at businesspeople also emphasize travel rewards, as work-related travel remains common despite today's challenging economy:
Corporate Tie-insSome cards bear the name of a travel-related company, such as an airline or hotel chain, and provide even better bonuses for purchases at that particular business. Potential perks include:

"All it is, is a study asking them to tell us how bad the problem is and how we can fix it," Coburn said.
Coburn said the federal government should make sure that wealthy athletes are paying their fair share in taxes and not using charities as a way to avoid paying a higher tax rate.
The Senate is considering the Marketplace Fairness Act, S. 743, which would empower states to collect taxes on purchases made online by consumers in their states.
Coburn said he might offer the amendment again at a later date.

If someone is running accolade zerg fests for an easy accolade, why would they go through the trouble of stalking you to give you low ratings, which would require them to play real missions? :-)
Seriously, though, if you think there's a problem emerging or retaliatory feedback, the best thing to do would be to file a ticket for harassment.
My general attitude is that people may judge me by the reviews I post. So I try to be constructive, helpful, and positive. If I give a two star, it's because I think it needs work and I'll let them know why. (Haven't had any yet.)
If I suspected someone is cheating the system somehow, I wouldn't leave a public review. Instead, I'd report it for a EULA violation and not leave any public review.
IMHO, a one or two star rating means the mission needs improvement. If the mission flat out shouldn't exist for some compelling reason, it doesn't matter what the review of it says. I would rather deal with it privately by submitting a ticket to a Cryptic employee who can decide if it's somehow abusive.
IMHO, stars are all about quality, about making something improve. If I give a mission one or two stars, I'd love nothing more than for it to get revised into a five star mission. If it's, fundamentally, not a mission, I'd report it. Or by all means, leave your one or two star but note that you'd like for it to have a story behind it as constructive feedback.

The Space
YOU FEEL IT when you walk into the studio-it is that sensation that you have entered a space with energy, peaceful energy. This apartment, with its unique touches, is a hideaway on the Kreuzberg side of the border to Mitte.
Wooden floors and minimal decoration bring an inner sense of peace, even though the apartment itself is surrounded by tons of things to see and do.
Relax in a bath in the middle of the room, cook at the kitchen Island, watch a bit of TV, or Surf the Wifi to your heart's content-it is all here, waiting for you.
Right outside the front door is the Engelbecken (Angel's Bath) where you can just walk along to relax, or even ice-skate in the winter. On one side of the reservoir is a classy Café with tasty drinks and light meals.
If this is your first experience renting an apartment instead of a hotel or a hostel, then you are in for a big treat!
3 things people like about this apartment: -The stylish bathtub -Not high in the building (1st floor) -Many lighting possibilities
3 Things not liked about this apartment -Animal sounds from nearby petting zoo in the morning (wake to rooster!) Ok, some people liked it ;) -Fireplace cannot be used -the stairwell outside the apartment is in need of some renovations (but totally safe and functional).
KREUZBERG: is currently one of the hippest districts of Berlin, an endless variety of clubs, bars, restaurants and cafés and shops to suit all tastes are strung together. The apartment is located in 1a-location in the lively part of Kreuzberg. But it is very quiet, on the ENGELBECKEN as direct (popular romantic meeting place, with gardens, sun terraces + Café on Engelbecken). Need advice? I am always happy to help you find what you are looking for.
The apartment is close to Alexanderplatz (5min with the U8). In just a few minutes you can walk from the main street of the neighborhood to SO 36 (a popular local concert club) : The OranienStr. is the absolute hot spot of the district with its numerous bars, shops, international cuisine and colorful folk. There are lots of shopping and dining possibilities in the immediate area.
NIGHTLIFE: There are endless possibilities for going out, all located close-by: clubs, bars and restaurants in the vicinity and can be reached on foot in few minutes: Kit Kat Club/Sage Club (700m), Tresor Club (500m) , Ballhaus Naunystr. (700m), Luzia (500m), just to name a few. Berghain is a short taxi ride away.
The Neighborhood
make sure to read about the area Kreuzberg below!
Please note that you have neighbors, and they are not on vacation. Please also be quieter after 22.00, it is the law ;) please ask about bringing pets before booking.
Check-ins after 21.00 are 10 Euros more per started hour.
Please make sure the number you have listed is a mobile number where you can be reached in case there is a problem.
This is not a party apartment. It is also a non-smoking apartment.
Note: If you are coffee drinkers, it is advisable to bring Nespresso Tabs with you. We do provide some, but they are difficult to come by in Berlin.
Now that all the rules are out of the way, enjoy yourself!
Kitchen and dining (fireplace for show only)
Everything from the booking to the handover of keys went very smooth. Friendly hosts that answered questions quickly. Beautiful apartment in a quiet still very central part of the city. Only the apt. wasn't heated when we arrived and pretty chilly. Other than that - perfect :)
The apartment is a great location, just off Oranienstraße, which had some good bars and places to eat, and 5 minutes walk from a couple of stations so very easy to get around Berlin from.
The apartment was very spacious and clean. Rebecca was very welcoming and helped point a few places out on a map for us. Would definitely recommend as a great place to stay while exploring Berlin!
The Loft of Angels was exactly how it looks on the pictures: beautiful! The location is superb and I would love to come back and discover more of the City of Angels.
Das Apartment ist schön und ruhig gelegen . In Kreuzberg hat es viele Bars und Restaurants . Leider war der Nachbar von oben ein Trampel .
The apartment was great. V clean, looked just like the pictures and was in a good location. Some other reviews had mentioned hearing roosters and goats in the morning but we didn't hear a thing. Only criticism is that the bed had two single duvets rather than a double which was annoying
We loved staying at the Loft of Angels. It was very handy to the main streets of Kreuzberg and also an easy commute to Central Berlin.
The loft itself felt very spacious, was beautifully arranged and the facilities were excellent, especially the comfortable bath!
Eric's team were friendly and flexible. We would highly recommend Loft of Angels!
A lovely clean apartment, within walking distance to all the amenities. We had a lovely time in Berlin -location really is everything, there are bars and restaurants within walking distance and the apartment is nice and cosy after a day of exploring. We will stay again -Thank you.
This host has 473 reviews for other properties.
I'm down to earth, like to meet new people, be with friends, travel, cook, eat, drink, snowboard---not necessarily in that order. When I have the time, I like to work with plastic, making art or objects. I am currently building a startup for specialty printing (feel free to ask ;) of art.
I came to Berlin in 2006, absolutely loved the city, and decided to stay. Originally I wanted to open a hostel here, but now I host in apartments instead. Most of the flats I have listed here are from other owners, I take care of them in their absence. Working with multiple apartments can be quite hard work, but my favorite part is meeting with my guests, it is very rewarding.
I know my way around Berlin pretty well, and can give good tips on where to go when you are in the city. I do my best to make sure the flats are accommodating and comfortable, as I am a traveler myself.
I have an agency, we are now a team of 5 people working together, so do not be surprised if you get an answer from Szandra on my account or if you meet someone altogether different at the apartment, you will be well taken care of, and you can always reach someone who can help you out if need be.
Our Philosophy: People are important! We will do our best to satisfy your needs. Our apartments are kept very clean, and we respond to all feedback. Professionally cleaned sheets and towels are included, so is a hair dryer and iron. You will also find little comforts in our apartments, such as tea, books, spices... Calendars are up to date, and we are on time. We work hard so you can enjoy your vacation!
