Frequently asked questions
When do I receive directions to the apartment and key collection information?
Directions and details on how to collect the keys will be emailed to you after you have paid for the booking in full. You will receive full details about your booking including directions to the property and a booking voucher that you need to hand over to the property manager when you receive the keys. In some instances you may need to collect the keys from the property manager's office or some other location which is not the actual property you have booked to stay in. Please note that the agent provides us with the GPS co-ordinates in the travel directions and we communicate these to you; you should contact the property manager if these are unclear.
Bed sizes / bedrooms
The exact dimensions will vary from property to property but the agent has specified that bed sizes are as follows:
- A single bed is typically 70cm to 85 cm wide and 180cm to 190cm deep.
- A double bed is typically 140cm to 180cm wide and 180cm to 190cm deep.
- A "grand lit" is a European double bed, suitable for couples, and can be smaller than the usual UK or American doubles. It is typically 130cm wide but in some instances may be wider; it is approximately 180cm to 190cm deep.
A bunk bed is two single beds, one on top of another. Some properties also have pull-out beds, sofa beds and/or bed chairs; in a few properties the bed can be low in a wooden frame on the floor. The beds often have terry cloth sheet mattress protectors to protect the mattresses; please use them with the bed linen.
Some properties may have a loft as a bedroom: this is usually an open room at the top of the house with sloping walls and mattresses on a low bed or on the floor itself. You need to climb a ladder to reach this room. Lofts are very popular with children but may not be suitable for adults or elderly guests.
If a property has an annexe then it will typically be a building attached to the main property or a small self-contained building. Annexes often have no central heating.
Please note that bedrooms in holiday rentals are usually not that large; you should refer to the floor plan to get a sense of size.

Column on "Binge TV" Includes Comments from Prof. Jeff McCall '76
September 5, 2013
With options such as downloading programs via the Internet or watching season sets on DVD, "binge TV is a real thing -- this way to plow through running story lines on command like some book that can't be put down," writes Dave Bangert in Indiana's Lafayette Journal and Courier. "It is such a thing that actor Kevin Spacey, star of the Netflix-distributed political thriller House of Cards, made news in recent weeks when he said studios are going to get dusted if they ignore the trend of the social media water cooler and don't get away from 'the world of appointment viewing.' "
The columnist cites a University of Queensland study published two years ago in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. It found, "For every hour of TV consumed after age 25, 21.8 minutes was lost in life expectancy. For someone who watched TV for six hours a day, that added up to 4.8 years fewer than someone who doesn't watch TV, researchers said."
Bangert turns to Jeff McCall, a DePauw University communication professor and author of Viewer Discretion Advised: Taking Control of Mass Media Influences. "I am not sure how much time I have lost to TV, but based on these metrics and the amount of college football and basketball I like to watch, I could be in trouble very soon," Dr. McCall tells the newspaper. He adds, "My fear is that people can interpret these studies as meaning that television itself is harmful or bad. It is not the television that is bad. It is the manner or amount in which we use it."
Read the complete column at the newspaper's website (a subscription may be required).
1976 graduate of DePauw, Jeffrey M. McCall is regularly cited in stories examining media matters. was recently quoted in a story on the launch of Fox Sports 1 as well as by Variety and the Associated Press. He also authored a newspaper op-ed on the future of radio's Rush Limbaugh.

BRIDGEPORT, CT (December 11, 2009) – The Sacred Heart University women's ice hockey team played to a 4-4 tie with Robert Morris University (Illinois) at the Wonderland of Ice Friday night. After a scoreless first period the two teams erupted for four goals in the first 4:11 of the second stanza.
Ramey Weaver of RMU scored first at 2:13. The Pioneers answered with goals from sophomore Sara Reddington (Needham, MA), freshman Caroline Herlihy (Burlington, MA), and junior Taryn Lapierre (Oakland, RI). Danielle McCutcheon would bring the Eagles within one as she lit the lamp 9:18 into the period.
In the third period, junior Lauren Fontaine (Windsor, ON) netted her team-leading eight goal of the season to put SHU up 4-2. Robert Morris came back to tie the game with late goals by Hope Fullum and Ashley Fenton.
Freshman Emily Siira made 26 saves for the Pioneers, while Ashley Miller made 46 for the Eagles.
Sacred Heart returns to action after the holidays on December 29 against Western Ontario.

A full list of the Simple Living Challenge steps can be found here.
The past few steps of our Simple Living Challenge have been steadily leading us to today's post and I am thankful that Shelly of LIghtboxSF is sharing her views today. From learning to accept our imperfections, to spending time with our family, to finding time for ourselves through scheduling and organizing, our aim, be it unintentional at times, is to find inner piece. Without inner piece there is no amount of money, friends or attention that can help us be self-sufficient and enjoy simplicity.
Shelly Kerry is co-owner of Lightbox SF. She is an artist, designer, and motivator. Since 2006 she has been working to build her own jewelry design business, em's studio, and she wants to share all she's learned. Shelly knows that building your own art or craft business can often feel lonely and overwhelming. She also understands how much of a struggle it is to balance a "day job" with a budding creative business.
Shelly's talent for listening and her own personal experimentation with organization and structure are your boon. She has a wealth of advice to help keep you motivated, push through those stuck times, and make the most out of your already busy schedule. Through Lightbox SF and her Creating Space program, she provides the much needed support, encouragement, and skills that will allow you to realize your dreams. Connect to Shelly via twitter or facebook.
Am I really growing into the person I want to spend the rest of my life being?
Developing a relationship with our inner being is a lifetime journey of self-discovery, questions and adventures. We get to know ourselves by setting back and really listening to our hearts and bodies, taking risks and allowing ourselves the space to do so. How can we hear what our inner self is trying so desperately to say if all we do is run from job to job to social engagement to networking event and don't take the time to evaluate what is actually important? Am I happy being so busy? Am I really growing into the person I want to spend the rest of my life being?
There is no time line or stop watch telling us when we should start this journey of self discovery. There is no wrong time. There is only the right time – any age, any situation. Truly knowing you is the first step to a more conscious, simple lifestyle.

My journey of self discovery
My journey of self discovery began pretty early in life. I felt strongly at an early age that my family's chosen religion, Catholicism, was not for me. In my twenties, I wanted to be friends with the most eccentric people I could find, so radically different from me but full of adventure and with their own unique sense of knowledge. I also felt strongly about leaving the comforts of the Midwest and the close proximity of my supportive family in order to travel the states, re-locate to big cities and venture to other countries solo.
My life has been fun and full of adventure but definitely not void of sorrow and heartache. I desperately wanted to know what made me tick, what made me happy, what made me uncomfortable and the only way I saw fit was through risks, fear and pushing my own boundaries. When I look back I was non-stop. Yes, I was getting to know myself but was I yet at a place of really understanding what my body and heart were whispering?
Wanting to slow down just a little I picked up my first copy of Women's Body, Women's Wisdom over twelve years ago and enrolled in my first yoga class. I began my own informal education on how the body, mind and heart interact. I started to take time to really listen to myself, allowing past experiences to just rest inside of me without judgment.
I moved to San Francisco over 6 years ago from NYC to live in a place that I felt could better support my new journey. Maturity and a better relationship with my inner being helps me to see what works in my life, teaches me to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy relationships and how to look into the future just long enough to make better decisions today. My goal now is to always stay true to what I believe is right for me and my life feels full of the most beautiful friends and interesting opportunities. I continue to take many risks but also have a better idea of what really works for me. The beauty of this journey is that it is on-going with a simple goal of finding peace and living a life of simple pleasures.

I believe we cannot truly hear what our heart is saying unless we give it the time and space. Our lives are busy and sometimes it is hard to find time to just "be." In this economy we find ourselves working two jobs, struggling with what we want to do and what we have to do to make ends meet. Unless you make a conscious stand, information from media can be over-whelming and exhausting. Flashing billboard ads scream "You have to have this!" and can tire the mind quickly.
But if we are so busy, where do we find the time to go for a hike in the woods or a quiet lunch with an old friend in the park? You schedule it. This time should have just as much priority as anything else in our schedule. Once a week at least, you should arrange time to just sit with yourself and check in. This can be in the form of a ten minute meditation followed by a 20 min walk. If you enjoy running, find a nice local spot where you can easily exercise and give your mind space. Develop a morning habit of stream of consciousness writing. Pick up a journal and write non-stop for 5 to ten minutes and then non-judgmentally stop and let the memory of what you wrote marinate for the rest of the day.
There is a wonderful exercise that I try to use regularly. It is a full body check in. If something happens and I start to feel anger or anxiety or an uncomfortable feeling that I don't yet recognize, I try to stop what I am doing for a minute and sit if possible. I close my eyes and starting with the top of my head down to my feet, I ask myself how this emotion is affecting each part of my body. Is my neck tight? Am I clenching my teeth? Is my belly becoming hot with anger? Through this exercise I am giving myself the time it needs to truly connect my body with my mind and heart. Without judgment, I am giving myself the respect I deserve. Magically, in the silence something wonderful can happen and I feel more confident and clear.

So now you have been going on your daily walks, spending time thinking about what is working or not working in your life and you are starting to feel overwhelmed. Deeply reflecting does not always feel so good at the time. You can become anxious or scared. So what do you do? How would you feel if I said you do nothing? Well nothing right away. I used to be a let's fix things quickly and immediately and believe me it wasn't always a good solution.
Again, let yourself feel these new emotions. If taking this time for yourself is new to you, what arises can feel quiet strange or uncomfortable. Just go with it.
Remind yourself that the relationship that you are developing with yourself will result in you becoming the most confident and beautiful version of you. If you are feeling guilty for spending this time with yourself and not your family, realize that you are doing them a favor. Taking 30 minutes a day for you is nothing if it results in a lifetime of a happy and connected person.
(If you or a loved one is in danger or you find yourself in some seriously bad situation this advice is not for you. You should seek a professional and remove yourself from the situation immediately.)
Making Changes
The beauty of a good steady practice of listening to your inner being is that it naturally results in a more conscious sense of living. You become clearer about who and what should be in your life. The relationship that develops between your heart, body and mind answers difficult questions for you. Respecting yourself and your feelings brings a beautiful sense of confidence that is inspiring and viral.
Trust that you will begin to see your life filled with amazing supportive people, laughter and peace. And at the cost of what – taking a nice weekly hike, listening to yourself and sitting with your thoughts? Doesn't sound too shabby to me!
Share your experience: Tell us how it feels to pay more attention to yourself for a second day in a row. Once again, if you are used to spending time alone, did you change something in your routine today to provoke different, positive feelings?
You can do this!Consider today's challenge as an extension of yesterday's. Look for ways to free up time, so that you can pay attention to your feelings and your inner voice. 30 minutes is what you need. Even if you are used to being on your own, try to make a change to the routine and enhance it.

The antimicrobial peptides LL-37 and HBD-3 are expressed and produced in healthy and inflamed human synovial membranes
Search Medline for
|June 13, 2005
In this study we determined the expression and production of human cationic antimicrobial protein (LL-37) and human beta-defensin-3 (HBD-3) in healthy and inflamed human synovial membranes. Moreover we evaluated the regulation of these antibacterial substances after stimulation with proinflammatory cytokines and bacteria in cultured synoviocytes.
Methods and Material
Expression of LL-37 and HBD-3 in heathy synovial membranes as well as samples from patients with pyogenic arthritis (PA) were determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In vitro experiments with cultered synoviocytes were performed to assess the regulation of LL-37 and
HBD-3 after stimulation with bacterial supernatants and proinflamatory cytokines. Expression of the antimicrobial peptides in stimulated synoviocytes were analysed by real-time-RT-PCR and ELISA.
In healthy synovial membranes the antimicrobial peptides LL-37 and HBD-3
were not expressed, but they were upregulated in samples of synovial membranes from patients with pyogenic arthritis (PA), suggesting a bacterial influence. After stimulation with Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and IL-1 or TNF-α. the expression pattern of LL-37 and HBD-3 in synoviocytes changed.
The synovial membrane holds potential for induction of antimicrobial peptides while inflammatory reaction caused by bacterial supernatants or proinflamatory cytokines.
A deficiency in the production of antimicrobial peptide may cause a higher susceptibility to bacterial joint infections. There is still a lack of experience in the clinical use of antimicrobial peptides, and this important aspect should be addressed in future investigations.

COLUMBIA - A bill aimed at reining in one of South Carolina's three members of the Ga.-S.C. Jasper Ocean Terminal Joint Project Office board was blocked in the S.C. Senate, so proponents have chosen a different method to get the job done.
The new approach is to attach it to the state's spending plan, which the Senate will debate this week.
Last week the Senate Finance Committee approved two budget provisos proposed by Sen. Larry Grooms, R-37th District. The provisos, which are budget specifications that go in effect for a one-year period, are a way to get around a block against Grooms' bill, S. 1410. That resolution was aimed at making sure a majority of South Carolina's members of the six-person board couldn't be overruled on a vote that involves spending state money. It also required certain actions to gain the consent of the S.C. Savannah River Maritime Commission.
On Thursday Sen. Clementa Pinckney, D-45th District, affirmed his objections to the proposed changes to South Carolina's role in the JPO - now contained in the two budget provisos - and said he intends to oppose them during the upcoming budget debate.
Grooms, who serves on the Maritime Commission, had introduced S. 1410 after the JPO approved a plan in March to spread 13.4 million cubic yards of dredge materials from the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project onto the site of the future Jasper port.
Georgia's three members and one South Carolinian had voted for the plan. South Carolina's other two members abstained, questioning whether the action crossed into the territory of the Savannah River Maritime Commission.
The single South Carolina board member to join the three Georgia men was Bill Bethea of Bluffon. He and other supporters of the vote characterized the plan as one that would take advantage of Savannah's $653 million harbor deepening - not endorse it - as a way to assist the construction of a shared Jasper Ocean Terminal.
But Grooms and most of the Senate saw the JPO's vote as an action in favor of the harbor deepening.
They said it would also force South Carolinian taxpayers to chip in to a project they warn would damage the Palmetto State's economy and environment, and preclude the construction of a shared, $5 billion Jasper Ocean Terminal.
Pinckney and Sen. Tom Davis, R-46th District, used a Senate maneuver to block S. 1410, which stopped it in its tracks ahead of the crucial May 1 Crossover Day deadline.
Bethea had warned that the proposal would sound the "death knell to port development in Jasper County," if allowed to become law. Davis and Pinckney defended him.

Discovery of oxygen in atmosphere could mean life for Saturn's moon Dione

Oxygen detected in atmosphere of Saturn's moon Dione
The discovery of molecular oxygen ions (O2+) in the upper-most atmosphere of Dione, one of the 62 known moons orbiting Saturn, was announced by LANL scientists and an international research team.
The research appeared recently in Geophysical Research Letters and was made possible via instruments aboard NASA's Cassini spacecraft, which was launched in 1997.
Combination of oxygen with carbon an exciting possibility
Perhaps even more exciting is the possibility that on a moon with subsurface water, such as Jupiter's moon Europa, molecular oxygen could combine with carbon in subsurface lakes to form the building blocks of life.
Charged particles slam into Dion surface, displacing oxygen ions
Dione is a mere 700 miles wide and appears to be a thick, pockmarked layer of water ice surrounding a smaller rock core. As it orbits Saturn every 2.7 days, Dione is bombarded by charged particles (ions) emanating from Saturn's very strong magnetosphere.
These ions slam into the surface of Dione, displacing molecular oxygen ions into Dione's thin atmosphere through a process called sputtering. Los Alamos researchers Robert Tokar and Michelle Thomsen of Space Science and Applications noted the presence of the oxygen ions.
"The concentration of oxygen in Dione's atmosphere is roughly similar to what you would find in Earth's atmosphere at an altitude of about 300 miles," Tokar said. "It's not enough to sustain life, but—together with similar observations of other moons around Saturn and Jupiter—these are definitive examples of a process by which a lot of oxygen can be produced in icy celestial bodies that are bombarded by charged particles or photons from the Sun or whatever light source happens to be nearby."

"Stay The Course"
A steady hand at the helm, keeping us on the proper path, maybe the iceberg will move...

An interesting point about the Titanic is that part of the problem was that the owners chose a captain because of his long experience. The problem is that every bit of his experience told him that the ship would have a tighter turning radius and slower speed, which would have made it easier to miss the iceberg. If they had hired a less experienced captain, he would have paid more experience to the peculiar behaviour of the new ship.
This is why it is so sad that the Conservatives have been so good at smearing Dion. He is not an "experienced hand", but instead someone who understands that the old truths of economics are changing very fast and that Canada needs to start working according to the new rules if it wants to avoid hitting an econmic iceberg.

Great cover option. Another option would be another famous leader who wanted to fight a war on two fronts (go historical, or contemporary, your pick). Except in Canada, with 4 strong opposition parties, it's more like fighting a battle on 4 fronts, for the Harper Conservatives.

According to Harper, Dion's plan to deal with the economic crisis was a sign of panic. He must be seeing the same panic today in leaders across Europe. I'm dying to see whether he'll show signs of panic himself in tomorrow's announcements.

Hey Steve,
Great Post - Love that Image. Someone should take copies and slap it on just for spite ;).
Off-topic but thought you might find it interesting.
The former author of "What's the Matter with Kansas" has a new book called "The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Govern"
In the interview linked here, he discusses how the media go out of their way to balance the actions of Republicans with the acts of Democrats while campaigning, when in reality they campaign completely different.
I just found it interesting since this is the first campaign I've seen in the US when the media has finally had to acknowledge that McCain is basically hurling crap while in contrast much of the Democratic campaign has been factually accurate.
Here is the link - http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/books/10/06/thomas.frank/index.html?eref=rss_politics&iref=polticker
I am wondering just what part of Harper will finally emerge in these coming days, but I suspect it won't be pretty.
Will the media call his acts desperate or will they fold them into the "aggressive leader" mythology they've spun?
Given the track record thus far, I expect it will be the latter.
But it will be interesting to see how the public perceives it.

Crowded house: It may be cozy, but should it be illegal?
Published March 20, 2003, in issue #0211 of The Hook
Catharine Anas lives in the same Piedmont Avenue house where she grew up. In the '40s and '50s, the area was a close-knit neighborhood whose families knew and kept an eye out for each other.
When Anas moved back in 1992, there'd been a change in the old 'hood. Instead of families in homes like the one she grew up in, houses, many of which had been converted to duplexes, were now full of students. And along with the eight students officially allowed to crowd into those dwellings have come their cars, congesting the streets, parking on lawns, and even at times blocking Anas' driveway.
At night and on weekends, partygoers flock to the already crowded streets, bringing trash and noise that makes Anas feel like she's living in a dormitory. "Call us naïve, but nothing really prepared us for what we have encountered over the past 11 years," she says.
Yet, if students seem to be multiplying like rabbits, the proposed solution offered by city leaders opens a hornet's nest of issues. Not the least of them is privacy, and what one critic terms a "bizarre" indifference to the notion of affordable housing. And even the city admits it can't enforce its current zoning laws.
Part of Charlottesville's new zoning ordinance will limit the number of unrelated adults living together from four to three in some near-UVA single-family neighborhoods like JPA, Venable, and Lewis Mountain.
"From this point forward, there won't be more single family houses turned into rentals" overflowing with students, says planning commission chair Kevin O'Halloran.
Instead, the "counterbalance," says O'Halloran, is to shift students into high-density university districts on 14th Street and JPA.
The city's zoning ordinance hasn't been overhauled since the early '70s. For the past three years, the planning commission has worked on revamping it, using a dozen different committees composed of residents, city planners, and developers.
While many involved citizens praise the process, many students are less enthusiastic.
"There was virtually no student representation and very little university representation in the process," says John Bailey, chair of the UVA Student Council housing committee. The first public forum, on December 10, came right in the middle of exams, he adds.
Bailey is concerned that the new restriction will make housing for students more expensive, and that the high-density district will affect the entire university community. He predicts the dismay of alumni coming back to the Rotunda only to gaze upon five- or seven-story buildings.
The reaction from landlords to loss of control over their property is mixed.
Wade Tremblay of Wade Apartments says all of his rentals will be in the so-called University District, where high-density housing is encouraged, so the three-person restriction has minimal impact on him. While Tremblay calls the process for revamping the zoning ordinance "forward thinking," he notes that limiting occupants can be a hardship on people who own property in single-family neighborhoods.
At CBS Rentals, Jim Stultz is on board with the new master plan over all and thinks the limits on occupancy combined with the creation of the high-density districts will eliminate student sprawl into low-density areas. "So it doesn't bother me that single-family neighborhoods decrease the number of unrelated adults to three," he says.
Overall, he believes the new ordinances will reduce the cost of housing because developers will be able to put more units on the same land. "There will be an economy of scale," he says. "There should be a product created that's less expensive than today because of land prices."
David Hughes doesn't agree. He owns two undeveloped lots on which he wants to build duplexes. "Building a four-bedroom duplex is the only economically feasible way I could do it," he says. A three-person occupancy definitely cuts into his investment.
Ivar Mawyer owns rental property near the university. Even the current four-person limit has discouraged him from buying one property off 14th Street because the rent would be too expensive. He echoes Hughes: "It wasn't economically feasible."
And then there are economics from the student point of view. Natalie Bucheimer's rent went up by approximately $100 when the City forced her fifth roommate to move out. "Now we have to split the bills four ways instead of five," she says.
Richard Spurzem at Neighborhood Properties says the limit reduces housing options while increasing the cost for lower-income tenants. "If you rent a place for $1,000 and split it four ways, obviously it's going to cost more if it's only split three ways."
Spurzem says he's concerned about the loss of property rights, and he questions City wisdom. "It's bizarre they keep doing this and wonder about affordable housing," he says.
Spurzem also points out that restrictions on the number of unrelated adults living in a residence have been used to target minorities such as Hispanics or gays.
Presumably, the new law would allow two married couples to share a house. But not if two couples who are "unrelated."
"What if two gay couples are sharing a house?" Spurzem asks.
The ACLU's Kent Willis brings up the same concern. He has opposed such restrictions in Fairfax and Loudoun, counties with large populations of Asian and Hispanic immigrants.
He also notes that the Fair Housing Act prohibits restrictions on the number of disabled adults living together in group homes.
However, while race, nationality, and disabilities are protected against discrimination, "students are not a protected class," says Willis.
"Ultimately the issue is the First Amendment right of free association," he says. "The government needs to show why it's doing it and why it's justified. This is the sort of thing often challenged."
Despite the challenges, the trend is sweeping college towns across the country as residents resist having their neighborhoods turn into so-called "student ghettos."
Charlottesville would join Boulder, Colorado, and Tuscaloosa, Alabama, if it bans cohabitation by more than three unrelated adults. In 1999, East Lansing, Michigan, home of Michigan State University, limited the number of unrelated adults in newly licensed rentals to two.
(Tuscaloosa, in its crackdown on University of Alabama student slums, is also banning indoor furniture outdoors things like sofas on front porches– and is considering a ban on parking in front yards, USA Today reports.)
City Councilor Kevin Lynch hasn't entirely bought into the proposed limit of three adults. He cites fond memories from his undergrad days of landlady Tommy Goss, who rented out three rooms in her house.
"I think there's a difference between owner-occupied rentals versus renting a house to four college students," he says.
"And I'd ask older residents on fixed incomes whether this would be an attractive option for additional income," he adds.
A landlord, Lynch says he's not worried about loss of property rights.
"Anybody currently renting to four people can get nonconforming use," he says. "We're not taking anything away, just trying to discourage conversion of existing houses."
Lynch has larger concerns about whether the high-density university zones will create an incentive to knock down old homes without historic designations. "I'm not sure this ordinance is ready for prime time," he says.
Elizabeth Kutchai has lived on Valley Road for 29 years, and she thinks it's already too late to save her JPA-area neighborhood. She says it's already at 92 percent rentals, and existing units with four renters will be allowed as "nonconforming" property use.
And she says landlords trying to skirt the new occupancy limit can simply insist that only three tenants sign the lease.
Charlottesville zoning administrator Barbara Venerus has also heard of this tactic to get around the current four-person limit.
"It's a widespread rumor that landlords tell legal tenants on a lease they don't have a problem bringing in a fifth person," says Venerus.
And everyone agrees that the occupancy restriction isn't enforced unless someone complains. "Neighbors have to complain loudly and repeatedly," says Kutchai.
She should know. A single-family dwelling on her street was rented out to six soccer players. She complained. The house was then turned into a duplex, so now eight people can legally live there. "It was the worst possible outcome," she says.
That incident might be why Kutchai hasn't complained about the house next door to hers. Nine names are listed on the mailbox, and she says that cars are often parked in the front yard, and garbage is often strewn around the yard. "It's really not a lot of fun living next door to a lot of students," she says.
The house's owner says it's a duplex, which means eight adults legally can live there. Might there are more than eight?
"I don't barge in and count the number of heads," replies the landlord, who requested that his name not be used.
However, the same person owns a house beside the duplex on Valley Road that has seven names on the mailbox, according to Kutchai, as well as a basement apartment. City tax records do not show it as a multi-family residence. [CORRECTION: City records do show that it's a duplex.]
Neighborhood Development head Jim Tolbert says no one has been taken to court in the past year for breaking the law regarding four unrelated people in a house. "It's very difficult to enforce," he admits, "and we don't do a lot of enforcement of it, quite frankly."
If that's the case, what's to stop the city from selectively using the three adults rule to stop unpopular actions? Back in the '90s, city police unearthed Virginia's moribund sodomy statute to prosecute johns and prostitutes as felons in an effort to clean up West Main Street. While civil libertarians screamed, no one challenged the constitutionality of the law, and Virginia's sodomy statute, enacted in 1792, remains on the books.
Last year, the city received 11 complaints alleging more than four unrelateds, and, upon investigation, determined that just two of those complaints were founded. In 2001, 14 of 18 complaints were found, in fact, to be in compliance with the zoning ordinance.
The city currently is taking one of those to court, but that's the exception rather than the rule. "Our ultimate goal is compliance," says Venerus. "We want the violation fixed."
One of the few who have been caught exceeding the four-adult rule is Natalie Bucheimer. The city actually intervened in her living arrangements.
Bucheimer, her twin sister, and three other roommates found a house on JPA in the fall of 2001.
"We're all medical students and were brand new in town," Bucheimer recalls. "We had no idea it was a violation."
Neither, apparently, did her landlord, because all five signed the lease. The landlord, David Hughes, says, "One zoning administrator thought with brothers or sisters renting, it was okay to have three more."
"We were happily living together, and we weren't making noise," says Bucheimer. "We're good students and were busy with med school."
So how'd they get busted? Bucheimer believes it was her water bill. "We sent in a water bill to the city with five checks," she says.
Would the city really engage in cross-department snooping?
City treasurer Jennifer Brown doesn't rule it out.
"We do provide information of an investigative nature to other departments," says Brown.
Neighbor complaints are the usual way the City finds out about violations, says Venerus, but it's possible water bills are how Neighborhood Development Services got tipped off.
Hughes got a letter saying one of his tenants would have to move out within a month. Ultimately, the City agreed to let the illegal roommate remain until the end of the school year.
"The thing that doesn't make sense is that it's a five-bedroom house," says Bucheimer. "It was a bummer because one of our friends had to move out. And our rent went way up."
Another point of contention for Bucheimer is that she, too, knows of houses shared by as many as nine people. "I think the laws," she says, "need to be equitably enforced."
Housing activist Kevin Cox is similarly concerned. He filed a Freedom of Information Act asking the city for copies of relevant enforcement letters sent out by the zoning department since January 2000.
In response, the City provided notices sent since August 2001, and then added an interesting caveat to Cox in his FOIA pursuit. To gather information from January 2000 to August 2001 would take approximately 30 hours to search files and copy the relevant letters, the City estimated. At a cost of $18 an hour, that would cost over $500.
"If this is any indication of how organized city government is, we're all in trouble," laments Cox.
"The City can't enforce it now with four," says Ivar Mawyer. "How are they going to enforce it with three?"
One provision of the city's new zoning ordinance may help enforcement of nuisance violations, such as lawn parking and yard garbage. Zoning inspectors will be allowed to write tickets on the spot instead of the current cumbersome procedure that requires the city to send a letter to the property owner, who's then given seven days to correct the violation. The zoning inspector must follow up with a visit to verify the problem was handled.
The new plan also requires landlords of existing nonconforming rentals to register with the city. Zoning administrator Venerus says the key to enforcement is to have a good list of pre-existing nonconforming use houses. And if the use changes for two years, the property loses its nonconforming status.
Art Lichtenberger, president of the Lewis Mountain Neighborhood Association, defends his student neighbors. "By and large, the student population is affable and considerate and a pleasure to live next to," he says.
But living so close to the university is "a double-edged sword," says Lichtenberger. "We like students. We teach. You don't want to call the city and sic them on people."
Lichtenberger expects the occasional loud party. But when it's every night with a trail of beer bottles down the street the next day and eight cars parked in the yard, even tolerant neighbors feel taxed. "It's the few who have the high visibility," he notes.
Lichtenberger hopes for one result from a reduction in the number of unrelated adults to three. "I think with this change, the city may feel more obligated to enforce," he says.
But will it? Or rather, can it? Kutchai doubts that enforcement is possible without many more zoning inspectors.
At best, she hopes it will discourage landlords from buying up more houses in her neighborhood and turning them into rentals.

Only Jewish Newspaper Reaching Etxry Home Vol. XV—No. 12 A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER FOR THE JEWISH HOME Devoted to American artd Jewish Ideals COLUMBUS, OHIO, MARCH 20, 1931 Per Year $3.00; Per Copy loc BytheWay By David Schwartz Daughter of Loihbroso Gina Lombroso Fcrrcrro is with us Those whose memories are sufliciently clastic to stretch back to the scene of fifteen years ago, recall who Gina is. She is the daughter of the late Professor Caesar Lombroso of Italy, a Jew and an Olympian of his day. Professor Lombroso's name was very much ncwspapcrcd about in those days Particularly did discussion rage about bis theory that the criminal was a def¬ inite biologic type. Another one of his . theses was that which was also espoused by Max Nordau, the kinship of genius and degeneracy. Lombroso's theories today, I believe, have crashed in the slock exchange of scientific values. Fifteen years ago, you , couldn t have bought them at 90; today they go begging at about 2 or 3, if you get I what I mean. Vet in his day, ho no doubt helped to forward the scientific spiS-it. Deplores Emancipation of Women His daughter Gina married the famous Italian historian, Professor Gugliclmo Ferrero. And now the two arc here vis¬ iting and lecturing. And in an interview Mrs. Ferrero laments the "emancipation:' of wonien. Here is what she says: "The women of the world arc in a tragic position to<lay. Machinery has forced them to leave the homes where they are hai)py and to emerge into a world where tbcy are unable to fulfill their deepest needs. The position of modcrh woman is one of the tragedies of prog¬ ress. The only rainbow descernible in the sky, strangely enough, for women is the fact that there is so much unemployment to¬ day. That may be doing a good thing to woman, she declares, by forcing women but of industry and back into the home. THe Old Domcaticity Personally, I am afraid that Gina's lament is a vain one. The old domes¬ ticity whose passing she laments, is, I , fear me, dead, beyond resuscitation. Not that, perhaps, woman might not have been happier under the old dispensation. But I can not see how you can bring back the old domesticity unless yoU bring back the old conditions—until you put back the laundry into the home—ban canned foods and put back the wife in the kitchen as in the days of yore. And as far as women being forced out of industry by uneijiployment, I rather think, it is more likely that the forcing will be heaviest on the men, for the effort will be to re¬ trench on expense, and woman works for less. Marriage and Monarchy ¦ , The statement has been made that mar¬ riage provides.something like a private little monarchy in every home. The hus¬ band IS king of the. home, the wife his royal spouse, and the. children his sub¬ jects; And since every man wants to be king, marriage enabled hira to satisfy this want in . quite a social way. But the trouble, it seems to me,' is that the monarchial system is going out of fashion. The world today belongs to the republic, and maybe that's why so many husbands and wives want a new slate after four years. Mother and Child David Sarnoff,-the head of the radio corporation comes of pious old-fashioned Jewish stock, and thereby hangs a tale, , for which I am indebted to Louis Pop- km, publicity purveyor. Every Passover, Sarnoff makes it a rule to have a Seder with the old folks uf Brownsville. This last Passover,' however, Sarnoff was absent from, the maternal roof on the Seder night. _ A week later, he showed up at the home. His mother said:' "David, why didn't.you.come for Seder?" "Mother", said the radio chieftain "I was busy—I had to have a conference with Mr. Rockefeller". "David", said his mother, "why do you go to goyim, when you can come here?" Sandler and Genius Well, they are planning a memorial I?™" ^'>'' J^'^"'' Sandler, author of Eli, ! Eh. They would have done better, had they gathered a little money for him during his life. Sandler of course, committed the error - of not knowing after he had written his famous song, that he had done anylhing worth while. I rather think this is a fairly general condition among first rate genius. I doubt very much whether Shakespeare had any very exalted idea of the plays he was turning out at so rapid a rate. Certainly, he had not the least hint that posterity would esteem them so high. And it is perfectly natural, for one who does things with ease, as Shakespeare did, to have no e;(aggerated opinion of the work. Wc esteem only those things, which come to us hard. Another Illnairation And' the genius, I believe, works with comparative ease. That is why he is a genius. Let us take another illustration. Lin¬ coln's Gettysburg address. In that ad¬ dress, Lincoln said; "The worid will little note or long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here". A number of the New York papers the following day agreed with him. They said the address was . not much,. Both Lincoln and the paiKrs were wrong. The average man hardly knows what happened at Gettysburg, but lie knows what was said there. There is generally a simplicity about greatness that is deceiving. You may fall in love at first sight, but greatness requires time to fall III love with. No Sandwich—No Editorial I Today, the Jewish Dally Forward is a very successful paper, but "if was not al¬ ways thus, as a little story told me by Bernard G. Richards the other day, (Continued on page 3) TUNE IN ON HABBI JACOB TARSHISH TOMORROW The ISlh of a aeries of radio sermons will be broad- cjist from the Bryden Road Temple tomorrow (Sunday) at 11 a. m.

Credit Agency Denies Jewish Discrimination CINCINNATI, OHIO—As a result ;of negotiations with the B'nai B'rith An¬ ti-Defamation League, one of the largest credit agencies in the country has defi¬ nitely stat(;,d that its policy does not permit "race or creed to adect. the status of our report on any individual or firm, or affect the rating assigned to it." . The complaint had been made that in some confidential reports issued by this company on the financial and business standing of individual men, the statement was given that the person concerned wa^ a Jew, It was charged.that.the religion of no other group was ever included in these confidential reports. "This procedure is considered objec¬ tionable to our informants and to our¬ selves," Dr. I. M. Rubinow, secretary of the Anti-Defamation League, wrote to the officials of the credit agency. "We take it tliat the inquiry addressed to your organization deals with business matters and does not deal with religious matters, that therefore any statement in referenct to a person's religion is uncalled for, and that the Hniitation of this procedure to only one religious group is particularly objectionable," , In his letter assuring the Anti-Dcfa- rration League that his company will draw no line when it comes to Jew oi Gentile, the vice president of the credit agency pointed out that, his company docs business with Jews all over the country, ;;nd that many important positions in the agency itself are occupied by Jews.

Daughter of Loihbroso
Gina Lombroso Fcrrcrro is with us Those whose memories are sufliciently clastic to stretch back to the scene of fifteen years ago, recall who Gina is. She is the daughter of the late Professor Caesar Lombroso of Italy, a Jew and an Olympian of his day.
Professor Lombroso's name was very much ncwspapcrcd about in those days Particularly did discussion rage about bis theory that the criminal was a def¬ inite biologic type. Another one of his . theses was that which was also espoused by Max Nordau, the kinship of genius and degeneracy.
Lombroso's theories today, I believe, have crashed in the slock exchange of scientific values. Fifteen years ago, you , couldn t have bought them at 90; today they go begging at about 2 or 3, if you get I what I mean.
Vet in his day, ho no doubt helped to forward the scientific spiS-it. Deplores Emancipation of Women
His daughter Gina married the famous Italian historian, Professor Gugliclmo Ferrero. And now the two arc here vis¬ iting and lecturing. And in an interview Mrs. Ferrero laments the "emancipation:' of wonien. Here is what she says:

You do not have to be steeped in the education world to have heard the latest catch-phrase called common core curriculum.
You do not have to be steeped in the education world to have heard the latest catch-phrase called common core curriculum. There have been critics on the right and the left voicing their concerns. Those on the right claim that it is another attempt by the federal government to overtake the powers of the state government. Critics on the left claim this is just another program trying to fix education by emphasizing rote memorization at the expense of critical reasoning.
I can almost hear seasoned teachers say, "Haven't we been through this type of change before?" Let's see if we can make some kind of sense about common core.
First of all, common core was originally sponsored by the National Governors Association and the Association of Chief State Officers. It basically goes back to the accountability movement of the 1990's. The overall idea was to come up with a set of common rigorous standards of the basic ac academic disciplines. Another theme was the alignment of standards in various states.
Therefore, a student in Kansas, for example, would be learning the same math principles that a student in New York would be learning. So far is there anything controversial in such an arrangement?
Second of all, these standards are much more than rote memorization. The standards are designed to foster critical thinking skills. They appear to be much more rigorous than the "No Child Left Behind" marks of the previous years. As such does it address the interests and skills of those students who are more inclined to "hands-on curriculum." Our society needs mechanics, technicians and disposal waste collectors, as well as lawyers, doctors and teachers. As one administrator I talked to said, "The gap between these two types of students continues to grow." Will this new reform put us on par with other countries or will it force other students to drop out? We are the only nation who seeks to educate all students K-12 in much the same way for all. Is it time to recognize that one size does not fit all? To some this may sound like heresy, but the value of many jobs is on the same level (or should be) with white collar or professional jobs. I guess the question remains as to what knowledge every student should gain or what is essential information to one's future profession.
Common core standards have been adopted by all but six states. The initiative was adopted by Republican as well as Democratic governors. It has been endorsed by state boards of education, state superintendents of schools, national teachers associations, and various educational leaders on the state and local levels. Many schools have begun the process of training teachers to begin implementing these rigorous standards. The key word in education has always been "improvement" in our expectations for teachers and students. Education is still considered the main factor improving a person's position as well as advancing all of society socially and economically.
To begin with the standards for common core will be applied to English and math. The key points in English surround reading, writing, speaking, language and research. There are a lot of different areas in which math can be utilized for statics, modeling and problem-solving. It must also be noted standards are set for all students K-12. This is an all-encompassing attempt to energize American education with the ultimate goal of competing at home and with the rest of the world.
So what should be the response of Americans to such an important innovation? As is the case with any public issue which will affect us in one way or another, we should learn and read from reliable sources. Fear should not be our guiding force. There are many dedicated educators who are attempting to make a difference in the lives of their students. How can they best use education to help their students become productive citizens in this modern world? Can Common Core be the vehicle which can make it happen for our students?
There are a lot of factors which can derail any reform in education.
Unfortunately, many of these factors are beyond the control of teachers and other school personnel. Many students come to class with a lot of disadvantages.
Family issues involving abuse, neglect and divorce make it difficult for students to be totally focused on academic performance. Studies show that increasing poverty also is a factor in achievement. A lack of funding on the state level is another factor, although not the only one. Individually we cannot do everything. Together we can accomplish a great deal. Common Core may not be the only answer, nothing ever is. However, it is worth our support in helping our young people meet the needs of the 21st Century.

Very Short-Duration UV–B Optical Flares in RS CVn-type Star Systems
Gary A. Vander Haagen
Stonegate Observatory, 825 Stonegate Road, Ann Arbor, MI
Received February 11, 2013; revised March 13, 2013; accepted March 15, 2013
Very short-duration UV–B optical flares were observed during a high-cadence search for conventional flares on three RS CVn type stars: AR Lac, II Peg, and UX Ari. A statistical criterion was developed for isolating these short-duration optical flares from random photon events. Five flares, ranging in duration from 30 to 85 ms with peaks 0.29–0.51 mag. above the mean, were detected within the 132 hours of monitoring time. The time resolution of the observations was 5 ms for AR Lac and 10 ms for II Peg and UX Ari.

So, we went to get flea medicine for Mavado (or Lil'Mo as he's sometimes called, actually I just yell "Kitten!" and he comes running) and we end up getting another kitten. We didn't get him from the pet store, he was being taken care of by another shop owner that the pet store lady knew. His name is Yoda and he's TINY!
Here is Mo meeting Yoda for the first time:
Yoda is part Turkish Van which is why he has such unusual markings on his head and tail. They're also unusual because they like water, which was amazing when we bathed him. I have never given a cat a more pleasant bath, I'm used to being clawed to death! He didn't care at all. Mavado, on the other hand, always acts like we're trying to drown him.
Mo still hasn't come to the realization that we got this new little guy FOR him, and he's very jealous and pissed. There have been some signs of wanting to play with each other though. Tonight Mo got super-frisky and tried to play but Yoda was too freaked out, he got all puffy and hissy. I just find it hilarious when something so cute tries to look so mean, I was laughing my ass off. Watching them is better than having a TV. Since we only got the new one yesterday, I think it's a pretty good sign that they'll be playing with each other soon.
I know I've been a bad blogger lately and I apologize. I've just been really preoccupied with getting the house ready and finishing up some work projects before Nasrin arrives. I've also made some new friends here which is so exciting for me. I feel like I'm finally getting a social life back, which I've been desperately craving! The only downside is they're both English teachers and their both leaving in June when their contracts are up. I understand though, we want to move out of Adana as well. There's far more interesting places to be.
My mom is going to be here in ten days and then we're going to go into baby-prep overdrive! I'm so excited to see her, it's been since June! I've never gone that long without seeing my mom. She's staying with us for six weeks. I have a feeling that with everything going on I may not be blogging much, but I'll try to keep you guys updated! You can also friend me on Facebook if you haven't already (click on the facebook link to go to my profile).
Yes, my name is Jen and I am a Facebook addict. "Hi Jen…"
