The largest mountain gondola in Northern Europe.
The new gondola lift at Voss is the largest and most modern gondola lift in Northern Europe. The ride starts at Voss station (56 masl.), and in just nine minutes you are at Hangurstoppen 820 meters above sea level! From Hangurstoppen you can walk on prepared paths, and gives you a fantastic starting point for a number of great walks in the mountains.
At the top you can also visit the Hangurstoppen restaurant, where homemade food made from local ingredients is served.
Outdoor Norway offers a number of outdoor activities in Voss, such as rafting, mountian biking, kayaking and more.Ri fasted with her friend on Friday morning through Saturday afternoon in order to raise awareness and money for individuals who die from starvation every day. She did not eat breakfast Friday morning even though I told her that she should at least have a piece of fruit since she would be in school all day. She called me once she arrived at school, and was hysterically laughing.
Lucky for her, I stashed a few cereal bars in her book bag. She came home from the fasting event at her friend’s church on Friday night around 9:30 PM. She told me about learning how much starvation occurs in the world, what it’s like to not have enough money for clothes and food and medications, and how to help those in need. I am so grateful that she is interested in social justice issues and does not shy away from discussing them.
I asked her if she was going to continue to fast through Saturday and she looked at me like I was crazy.
Sure enough, she left on Saturday morning for her babysitter class without any breakfast. The class ended up being ok but not ideal. They learned safety tips and “every way you can get hurt” while babysitting (scraped, burned, cut – they were cracking me up as they described that session) and they got to change a real live baby’s diaper, which Maria could do with her eyes closed. But they did not learn CPR, which is one thing I had hoped would be included in the training. Nonetheless, they had a good time together and got a “good sitter” certificate. Now, they want to get together and start their own babysitting business to earn money to go to a camp this summer. More power to them!
Meanwhile, Mario had begged me to take him to the mall on Saturday. I had absolutely no desire to drive 20 minutes to walk around that box so we agreed that we would go to GameStop instead. His friend was over when I got home from working out so he went with us. They each brought old video games to turn in for cash. GameStop was filled with mighty fine folks in their sandals and sweatpants and disheveled hair ready to buy the latest Pokémon game. I felt a bit out of place. Mario’s friend had six video games to turn in –they offered him a total of $5.40 for them (3 cents for one of them). Mario had two recent video games, and he got a total of $7. His friend commented how sad it was that his dad spent $60 on each of the games and he only got back $5 for all of them. His comment was a perfect segway for my speech to Mario about spending all of his money on games he would play for a week and then discard. Mario listened to me but obviously didn’t hear me because he walked over to me with several “mature” video games he wanted. I swiftly declined each request much to his dismay. The “dude” at the front desk saw his dismay and pointed out an “awesome” video game that had a teen rating. Mario looked skeptical but decided that he would try it out. When we arrived home, he immediately loved it. I have to thank the dude because I got two hours of cleaning done as Mario described his every move while playing the game.
Ri spent the night at Alana’s on Saturday night so she could spend time with Alana’s new kitten. Yes, she got a kitten for her birthday. Her name is Lillian and she is adorable. Mario and I watched Dude Perfect videos and I let him sleep with Jon, which made him so happy.
On Sunday, Mario and I washed Rocco at the Doggy Spa; Mario had missed out at our last washing so he was excited to go with just me.
We went to Stauf’s afterwards and ate a pumpkin chocolate chip muffin. Yum. Sweet Rocco waited outside and we watched him through the window. Several people walked up and petted him. Such a doll baby.
Ri came home at noon and we all headed to her basketball tournament up north. She’s on a tougher team this year and has to step her play up a notch. Jon and I were very proud of her defensive skills and we know her offensive skills will improve with practice. She was hard on herself, as always, but settled down after the coaches talked to her (and Jon – she doesn’t like to talk to me until after the game).
We finished the night with Mario’s practice and some stuffed green peppers compliments of our loving chef, Maria.
The Amilo Si 1520 is not as fast as the other notebooks in this group, but at only £775 including VAT it's far cheaper than the competition.
FEATURES
The Amilo's chassis feels robust, but it looks unexciting and businesslike. The 80GB hard disk provides plenty of room for music and media files as well as work, and the two-layer DVD writer allows you to create backups. Windows XP Home Edition is installed rather than Windows XP Professional Edition.
The chassis has a good range of ports, including four USB connectors and a DVI
We found no problems in our standard display tests. It can't produce a very bright white, but our white screen test looked clear and was consistent across the screen. Colours were a little soft, but blended together well.
PERFORMANCE
This was the slowest notebook in the group, with an overall score of 104 in our application benchmarks. This is because its processor, the 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo 2300, is one of the slowest in the group and it has only 512MB of RAM. Still, it is only marginally slower than notebooks that cost hundreds of pounds more.
It ran for three hours and 15 minutes in our battery test. This is the lowest score other than the Acer when using its smaller portable battery, but it's still above the three-hour minimum we recommend for mobile use.
By Seth BartonDue to Covid-19, AC Transit is considering a bus network redesign to reduce service levels by 15% to 30% to match expected reduced revenues, which will be discussed initially on Wednesday, July 8, at 5 p.m., as stated in the AC Transit Board Agenda item #6D here.
Reductions in Transbay lines will be significant in that “Transbay riders as a whole have higher income levels than local service riders and have much higher car-ownership rates.” Transbay riders have access to not only higher rates of car-ownership but also local bus service to BART as well as Alameda’s ferry terminals.
Longer and potentially less reliable transit lines which preserve frequency and coverage. Some lines on major corridors – Lines 51A and B for example – are proposed to be combined to make longer lines to preserve as much frequency as possible.
