Sommes-nous encore à Nuremberg ou déjà à Fürth ? On n'en est jamais vraiment sûr. Ces deux villes se sont soudées au fil du temps, et seuls sept kilomètres environ séparent leurs centres-villes. Raison de plus pour visiter Fürth, une ville qui se démarque par son histoire singulière, un grand caractère et un art-de-vivre convivial et serein.
More than 1,000 architectural monuments and a hint of Florence
It is clear that Fürth residents are very aware of their history and proud of their picturesque town. And their pride is not misplaced, as the delightful and historical old town proves. The Gauklerbrunnen fountain is set amidst beautifully preserved buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries. No two houses are the same here, and an extraordinary array of roof shapes, heights, styles and facades can be seen. Gustavstrasse and the surrounding streets are packed with pubs and bars, and the whole district seemingly transforms into one big beer garden during the summer. The town centre alone contains precisely 1,169 architectural monuments, one of the highest concentrations in Germany. A striking example is the town hall, whose style and 55-metre tall square tower, the town's landmark, closely resembles Palazzo Vecchio in Florence – another sign that Fürth's citizens don't suffer from false modesty. A number of streets lined entirely with 19th and early 20th century buildings are also a feature of the town centre and include Hornschuchpromenade with its beautiful homes built in the Gründerzeit and Jugendstil styles.
A trip down memory lane
Fürth's municipal museum is named after Ludwig Erhard, who was born in the town and engineered the German economic miracle of the 1950s. Visitors to the museum take an exciting journey back in time to gain an overview of the town's history, which stretches back more than 1,000 years. Fürth used to be a centre for the development of radio and television, as can been seen at the Radio Museum. Its twelve exhibitions relate the history of broadcasting, from the precursors and early days of radio in the 1920s, to radio and TV in East Germany, to the present and future of audiovisual media.
After a visit to the Radio Museum, a good place to retune your senses is the municipal park, which was laid out in 1951 for the 'Grünen und Blühen' horticultural show. It remains a garden of national historical importance and is also a meeting point for lovers and an oasis of calm that is likely to conjure up special memories for everyone from the town. And lovely memories are what all visitors to Fürth will take away with them.

26 February (Part 4) - Council Tax
Council Tax, bar the rubber stamp in nine days' time, is going to go up by
3·99%. Sadiq Khan is going to slightly spoil the party with a 5·1% increase.
At this evening's Cabinet meeting the Member for Finance repeated yet again the message that Bexley is a low tax Council and they strive to keep taxes low. What always puzzles me is the implication that Bexley does better than other London Councils. The fact is they don't.
Ten years ago Bexley was 23rd on the list of least expensive boroughs and now it is 24th. Only eight Councils charge more than Bexley. However well the current administration may be doing they do no better than other Councils whether they be Labour or Conservative.
I am beginning to think that in the current political and financial climate, whether you vote blue or red the tax extorted will not vary very much.
If Labour whacked up tax by 40% in four years as they did last time they were in power they would be finished here for all time, and deservedly so. I suspect they know that.

Bold fonts are crucial designing assets. They emphasize a word or a group of words in a long text block. These put emphasis on that particular text drawing the attention of the reader, for instance, headlines of newspaper are written in bold because they are important and draw attention of the readers to read the news.
The birth of bold fonts was during the 19th century when industrial revolution took place. Bold fonts were first used for advertising and promoting the industries. The unique style of writing attracted the attention of the people and hence popularized the industries between them.
Now before you use to design something with free bold fonts you should know the principle behind the use of bold fonts. It will help you to become a better designer.
This is because of the receptive nature of the human eye which helps the person to understand the differences between a bright text and a dull text. The bold fonts play a contrasting role which is easily accepted by the human brain. That's why people get attracted to bold fonts, for example, the logo of Sony. The logo has a black background with the name Sony written in bold and white over it. The two contrasting colours make a huge impact on the human brain making it easier for the brain to accept it. Hence, readers remember bold text easily, which is why designers prefer these cool fonts.
Bold fonts are often seen in printed dictionaries to mark keywords. They are used to set heading, sub headings, headlines in different articles. Bold Fonts play a crucial part in advertisements. Advertising is almost incomplete without bold fonts. They guide the reader through long complicated documents and highlight important facts. Bold fonts are also used to design logos. They are seen in business cards, magazines and brochures.
Though bold fonts are used to communicate a sense of importance of the content to the readers, yet they should not be over used. Using too much of bold fonts confuses the readers and distracts their minds. Bold fonts are to be used in limit and at particular places when needed, that?s the mantra of the most successful designers out there. You can also see best rounded fonts.
There are a number of Bold Fonts widely used by graphics designers. Out of those, here are some of them that will help you make your designs stand out. Vintage – Vintage bold fonts will take you back to the old days. Designers use this type of bold fonts to portray retro type of posters. Playful – These bold fonts are majorly used by the designers for attracting children. These bold fonts are full of fun. The free fonts add a feeling of fun, hence used to advertise toys, clothes and products meant for children. ? Serif – Serif bold fonts are somewhat retro logo fonts liked by traditionalists. ? Super Bold – These bold fonts are comparatively bolder than other bold fonts. The super bold fonts are basically used to design CD covers or advertise gigs of DJs. ?Gothic – Gothic bold fonts are most popular old fashioned fonts liked by numerous people. These fonts are not only old fashioned but graceful and aristocratic. They add a different texture to the text and highlight it by a major scale. No wonders, designers are fond of the Gothic Bold Fonts.
Bold Fonts that will make Your Design Awesome. Out of thousands of bold fonts, here are some Bold Font styles that will take your designs to the heights.
Bernard Modern Std Bold Font – Stylish, attractive, retro type, liked by most people. Jasper Caps Bold Font – The unique feature of this style is that the letters of these bold fonts are written in caps. They give a graceful face to the design. You can also see professional fonts. Microgamma D OT Bold Font – The modern fonts are generally pretty bolder than other bold fonts. These are somewhat extended in the sides giving it an attractive look. Etelka Pro Bold Fonts – The Etelka bold fonts best used for designing packages of commercial products and electronics. Ideograms are also designed by these bold fonts. Zapf Chancery Bold Fonts – One of the most popular and best bold fonts ever. People are hugely attached to this type of bold fonts. It is mainly used by the IT companies for advertising their products.
Logos are something that defines a brand. It leaves an impact in the minds of people. Not only does it need texture but also bright and bold fonts representing the name of the company. Hence, bold fonts play a vital part in designing a Logo.

I clearly remember the first time I went out just with my husband after our first daughter was born. She would have been a few months old and we left her home with my parents while we went to what I call a 'fancy schmancy' restaurant. I was dressed up and wore heels, make-up and – get this! – had no baby spew on my shoulders. It was going to be such a great night, we'd sit and chat for hours and probably gaze into each other's eyes romantically.
Except that it wasn't like that at all. What actually happened was we sat across the table from each other smiling nervously and looking around, him trying to think of something to say and me feeling all weird about not having to pace the room, rocking a baby to sleep.
We were more nervous than we had been on our first date ten years earlier.
It's okay – our marriage has lasted another four years since then and we've found plenty to say to each other, and even survived having another baby – but it was definitely very strange trying to adjust from being parents to being a couple again. It's a constant shift back and forth at various times throughout this parenting gig, where sometimes the kids are at a stage that demands every ounce of your energy while other times it's a little easier.
Still, it can be the biggest test on a relationship. You just have to try working together – sometimes easier said than done.
Ask, don't expect mind reading.
Ever feel yourself becoming increasingly frustrated that your partner doesn't just 'do' the stuff that needs doing? I used to wait and wait for him to notice the areas I needed help with and then explode when it didn't happen. One day he said to me, "Can you just ask me before it starts annoying you?" Oh, okay. So now I do – and it's made the biggest difference to our day-to-day lives. They say communication is the key to a happy relationship and, well, it's true.
You're partners, not enemies.
After our first daughter was born I felt like my husband and I were constantly banging heads. We'd been together for years and hardly ever argued, and here we were suddenly unable to stop rolling our eyes at each other. I clearly remember reading a blog post one day that said, "Your partner isn't the enemy". It seems so obvious, but it was exactly what I needed to hear, and since then I remember those words every time I start to feel a little resentful – it makes it easier to be parents together when you're on the same page.
Make each other laugh.
It's easy to fall into the trap of taking this parenting thing super seriously all the time but sometimes the mood needs lightening. There are times you just have to laugh together about the sudden attitude of your child, or find the funny side of a baby who pooed all over you (admittedly this is easier when it happens to your partner rather than you). It helps to create a 'we're in this together' feeling.
Take the opportunity to strengthen your relationship.
More than anything else, becoming parents highlights the weaknesses in your relationship. If you can find a way to work together to strengthen those you will be an even more rock solid pair than ever before, ready to face anything together.
What do you love about each other?
Being a parent also brings out the best traits in people. I'm not sure there's much that's better than watching the person you love act lovingly towards the baby you've both brought into the world. Stop and watch those moments.
Make time for yourselves.
This can be difficult – firstly, it's easy to overlook time together as a couple when you're knee-deep in parenting, and secondly it's hard to find the time to make it happen. My husband and I recently celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary, a milestone we wanted to mark, but with a small baby it was hard to get out alone. Instead we decided to get creative about it: we went out for dinner as a family, then came home and put the kids to bed and had a 'dessert date'. It's all about prioritising it and making the time.

New York City officials are calling for a publicly financed program to bait, kill and remove rats in the wake of reports that Hurricane Sandy sent droves of the rodents scurrying inland, with many of them taking up residence in new neighborhoods.
Councilwoman Jessica Lappin, whose district includes the Upper East Side and Roosevelt Island, said she had been told of "alarming reports" about rat outbreaks. She has heard complaints of businesses having to shut down because of rodent-related health department violations, and of concern over what people perceive as more rats on the streets.
"As New Yorkers, we have a certain level of tolerance for rats," Ms. Lappin said. "But this is a real public health issue, and people are rightly concerned."
Ms. Lappin, with support from the City Council speaker, Christine C. Quinn, has called for the city to hire additional pest control aides to conduct a six-month remediation program, at no additional cost to property owners. Ms. Lappin estimated that the program would cost $500,000, based on a similar city effort in 2011 in the parks.
Ms. Lappin said her office recently conducted an analysis of rodent complaints from several shoreline neighborhoods in Manhattan and Brooklyn to the city's 311 hot line, and found an uptick in the months after the storm.
Residents in neighborhoods of the Lower East Side, Lower Manhattan, Greenpoint, Coney Island, and Carroll Gardens/Red Hook filed 70 more complaints over the same time period last year.
The most calls came from the Lower East Side, to 123 calls so far this year, from 102 calls during the same time last year. Lower Manhattan's total more than doubled, to 16 calls from 7 calls.
Ms. Lappin said she had reached out to the health commissioner, with hopes that the program can start as soon as possible.
"In these communities that were hard-hit, where not everybody is even back in their homes, and communities where we've seen upticks where people are struggling, that's where we should be spending our resources," Ms. Lappin said. "Not in ticketing people, but the city should be doing some treatment and remediation."
Since the storm, Timothy Wong, a managing partner with M&M Environment, a pest-control company, said business has been brisk.
Mr. Wong said the company started the week with 33 emergency calls from people throughout the city complaining about rodents, which he described as an unusually high number for a single day. "It's just gotten so bad," Mr. Wong said. "So many calls. It's just crazy." One client, a family in Harlem, he said, abandoned their home for a hotel over the weekend, until his company could come out on Monday.
Aside from the storm, Mr. Wong cited cold weather and trashy construction sites as factors driving rodents indoors.
"There's so much debris and garbage," he said, "and rats are having a field day."

Holders Spain were eliminated from the World Cup on Wednesday. A 2-0 Group B defeat by Chile brought an end to one of the greatest dynasties of the modern game.
On the day when Spain's King Carlos also signed his abdication papers, the country's footballers left their throne as goals from Eduardo Vargas after 20 minutes and Charles Aranguiz two minutes before half-time earned Chile a stunning victory.
They advanced to the last 16 along with the Netherlands, who beat Australia 3-2 in the earlier match of the group.
The Dutch, who beat Spain 5-1, and Chile each have six points and they play each other in Sao Paulo next Monday.
Spain face Australia in Curitiba hoping to avoid finishing bottom.
They are the third champions in the last four World Cups to be eliminated at the first hurdle. The departure will almost certainly end the long international careers of the ageing greats who won the 2008 European Championship and their first World Cup in South Africa four years ago.
Coach Vicente del Bosque is also unlikely to keep his job.
Chile, who had never beaten Spain in 10 previous meetings, looked sharp, composed and confident from the start and even faster and more fluid in the second half.
Although Spain's Xabi Alonso had a shot saved in the 15th minute, Chile took the lead five minutes later.
A counter-attack on the right set up Aranguiz to provide the cross for Vargas, who danced around goalkeeper Iker Casillas before firing home with defender Sergio Ramos arriving too late to stop him.
Casillas, who had a poor game in Spain's mauling by the Dutch, was at fault for the second goal, punching an Alexis Sanchez free-kick straight back to Aranguiz, who swept the ball past Casillas, spinning the shot with the outside of his right foot.

Granular Synthesis is Alchemy
I now conclude that this synthesis method is none other than a form of alchemy. That is the correct way to look at granular synthesis. Check out the sound i generated from a typewriter, which was then turned into a track on Ben Klocks label.

How to prepare Patatas Bravas
"Patatas Bravas" (Brave Potatoes) is one of the signature dishes in Madrid. Almost every bar in the Spanish capital offer this delicious specialty which has become one of the favorite tapas of "madrileños". When you try "Patatas Bravas" for the first time, you cannot forget the slightly spicy flavor of the sauce. After every bite you need more and more!
Despite being a simple dish, it's not easy to find a genuine "Patatas Bravas". According to experts, the secret´s in the sauce. In OgoTours we give you the keys that you need to cook a genuine "Patatas Bravas" at home just like in Madrid.
- 4 garlic cloves
- 10 tbsp (150 ml) olive oil
- 2/3 cup (80 grams) flour
- 2 cups (1/2 liter) water
- 1 dash of white wine
- 1 ("Guindilla") dried chilli, seeded and chopped
- 1 tsp "Pimenton dulce" or sweet paprika
- Salt
- 5 medium potatoes
Heat the olive oil in a pan, add the garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes.
When the garlic goes slightly golden, add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add the "guindilla" (dried chilli) and sweet paprika and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add water and white wine.
Cook over low heat until sauce thickens.
While the sauce is ready, peel the potatoes and cut into wedges.
Fry in plenty of olive oil. TRICK! At first, fry the potatoes over low heat, after several minutes increase the heat. Thus, potatoes will be tender inside and crunchy on the outside.
When the sauce is thick, blend it and add salt if necessary.
Serve the potatoes and spread the sauce over them.
Despite what many people think, brave sauce is made without tomato. The red color is due to the paprika.
Where to eat genuine Patatas Bravas in Madrid
According to an urban legend, Patatas Bravas were invented in Madrid in the 60s. As you can imagine, today it is almost impossible to ascertain this theory.
The place par excellence in Madrid to enjoy a delicious "Patatas Bravas" is the bar "Las Bravas". They have even patented the sauce which has become a secret as mysterious as the secret of Coca Cola. They run three restaurants in the Old Town which is great for tourists. More info www.lasbravas.com
Another place famous for their "Patatas Bravas" is "Docamar" (www.docamar.com) but the only downside is that this bar is located a little bit far away from the centre (address: Calle Alcala 337).

If you consider yourself a true foodie, join our Madrid Gastronomic Tapas Tour and try the genuine "Patatas Bravas". We will visit traditional bars and taverns frequented by locals to live an authentic Madrid Experience! BOOK NOW and you will receive your tour confirmation immediately.

I Left on My Birthday
by Oscar Garcia, February 2016
Poverty is a factor that forces many people around the world to leave their countries of origin to better their families' economic outcomes. Some people risk the lives of their siblings and other members of their families. Today, many Central American children are forced to leave their countries of origin to help their families. Some parents know that their children might not make the journey, but still choose to let their children make the unpredictable journey to the US, and some of the consequences can be as bad as losing their lives–rape, exploitation, and/or possible deportation from Mexico or the US. A song by Rumel Fuentes, translated to English, sings, "through my [mother] I'm [Guatemalan] by destiny I'm American…both countries are home…" Although Henry states that he decided to make the journey, he is one those children who was forced to leave his family, to become a man at an early age, and his concept of home is his family.
The Salvadoran Civil War forced hundreds of thousands of people to migrate to different countries throughout Central America. Guatemala was one of those countries to which Salvadorans fled. Guatemala had its own civil war beginning in the early 1980s and lasting through the late 1990s; members of Henry's family were among the many Salvadorans who migrated to Guatemala. Henry's father passed away when he was two, leaving his mother to raise him and his two siblings. His mother earned a living by buying and reselling bread. At fourteen, Henry began to feel guilty and noticed that his mother was getting tired because she was caring for them alone after his father had passed away. Henry's aunt had promised that she would help bring him to the US, but Henry would have had to make the trip without her or any other member of his family. Although Henry claims he chose to make the journey through Mexico and into the US, in truth he was forced to make the journey to the US. With his aunt's help, he began the journey through Mexico to the US. Henry was afraid and nervous to make the journey, but he had no choice if he was to improve his family's economic situation in Guatemala. Now twenty-two, Henry lives in San Francisco, CA, and attends San Francisco State University; he is studying to become a schoolteacher.
Poverty was the push factor that forced Henry to leave Guatemala. Henry, who lost his father at the age of two, was left fatherless and felt that he should be the man who provided for his mother and siblings because his mother could no longer care for her three children. As Henry was getting older, he began to see that his mother needed help, and Guatemala was not going to be the place where he would be able to provide for his mother and siblings. Moser quoted the PNUO that 80 to 90 percent live in poverty and 75 percent live in extreme poverty, unable to afford the basic foods in Guatemala (46). Guatemalans who live in this condition have no better option than to leave their country of origin and look for a better place to migrate, like the US. Paul R. Amato, in "The Impact of Family Change on the Cognitive, Social and Emotional Well-Being of the Next Generations," concluded that single parents put their children at risk because of economic hardships, which can cause stress for the children. Henry was one those children and began to feel the impact of the economic hardship that his family faced; he stated that he wanted to come to the US to help his family. "I wanted to help my mother because it was [difficult] for my mother to support my sister, my brother and I," said Henry. Economic hardship within his family began to accumulate more after they started to get older and Henry felt that it was his obligation to provide for his family.
Henry left his family and Guatemala; the arrangement to travel through Mexico was prepared and improvised. Smugglers need to be a few steps ahead of checkpoint agents so that immigrants could get to their final destination because Mexico can deport non-Mexican immigrants. "I left on my birthday," said Henry. Henry did not know what the journey would be like and staying in Chiapas, Mexico for a few weeks helped him to pass through the checkpoints (Las Casetas); the plan was for him to stay in Mexico for a few weeks to learn the way Mexicans speak. In a book entitled Enrique's Journey, journalist Sonia Nazario explains how checkpoint agents trick those they believe are immigrants from Central American by asking them questions and awaiting their response. Guatemalans use words like voz (you), sincho (belt) or chumpa (jacket), words of automatic deportation from Mexico, if they do not have the money to bribe them. Henry was picking up a few Mexican words, but was still afraid to speak because this might have made him forget what he needed to say when questioned. After a few weeks in Mexico, Henry's smugglers got him a fake birth certificate with a name he does not remember anymore. Henry said that his skin complexion and facial characteristics made him appear as a Mexican from Chiapas and he resembled the person with whom he was traveling; he was advised that if caught he would have to say that he was traveling alone and wass going to visit his father. Audrey Singer and Douglas S. Massey have concluded that migrants "…on initial trips, crossing with either a paid (coyote) or unpaid (a friend or relative) guide dramatically lowers the odds of arrest; but on subsequent trips the mode of crossing has no effect on the odds of apprehension, which are determined primarily by the migrant's own general and migration-specific human capital… (561-592). The odds of Henry crossing through Mexico with a coyote are improved, but there are coming checkpoints. After leaving Guatemala, Henry's risks increased; most of Henry's fears were cantered on what would happen if he was caught.
At the last caseta [checkpoint], thirty minutes into Sonora, the checkpoint agent called him out as Henry was boarding the bus. "I was the only one left behind," Henry said. As he was re-boarding the bus, the checkpoint point agent called him out and asked him, "Donde vas?" [Where are you going?]. His fear was always about how to respond when questioned by any Mexican checkpoint agent. "Every thing went blank," Henry thought. His mind went blank because he was afraid that he would speak like a Guatemalan and would be deported, although he was told that, if caught, he should give money to the checkpoint agent and maybe the bribe would buy his way from getting deported to Guatemala. "I remember the series of 'El Chavo del Ocho' [a Mexican TV show that began during the early 60s and still is played in Mexico]. I remember how the Chilindrina (one of the teen female actors of El Chavo del Ocho) called her dad 'mi apa' [my father], and Henry answered "Voy a ver a mi apa en Tijuana." "I was afraid that my answer was not going to be enough, but the agent let me go," Henry concluded. "We arrived around 2 AM in Sonara." Henry said with pride that he had made it through the last Mexican checkpoint.
While in Sonora, the coyote begins to get him ready for the long walk. The smuggler lets Henry know that he needs to pack more water than food, and to mix the water with oatmeal: "it was nasty…but I won't die, so I would be fine," Henry said. Henry did not know how long the walk was going to take. To avoid migrants fearing dying in the desert, most times smugglers do not let them know the risks of the trip, especially crossing the Sonora Desert in Arizona. The average rate of walking depending on the terrain and people varies between three and four and a half miles per hour. Henry claims he was walking about twelve hours per night with ten-minute breaks at times. The average hours at night in June were about twelve hours. "We did not know we [were] going to leave that day; [we] ate as much as we [could]," Henry added. Henry continues by saying that the smugglers fit twenty people into a Dodge Ram van. The van was going to take them as close as it could to the US boarder, and the rest of the journey was going to be on foot. They started to walk at nights through the desert. Some people argue that the reason the wall of the US boarder ends in part of the desert of Arizona is to deter migrants from crossing while others argue that only the strongest migrants might be able to make the journey "because of the utterly dangerous nature of trekking across the Sonoran Desert, especially in the summer months. Many of these unfortunate migrants succumb to the effects of heat-related illness and perish along the journey. The combined effects of a dry, hot environment and the remoteness of some of the trekking corridors can quickly render a deceased person unidentifiable by visual means," Anderson concluded. Coyotes are known to let people die in the desert if they fall behind or lose their way. As soon their water runs out, so will their lives. Henry had this fear of dying in the desert and was the youngest in the group.
Henry says "my country" throughout the interview, but means his country of origin. His concept of home is not limited to Guatemala nor the US, though the US is giving him many opportunities for his upward mobility and here he has greater chances of improving than in Guatemala. He claims his home is his family. Henry left Guatemala because he was looking to better his home and to become a father, a father he did not have. Henry claims he might not go back to Guatemala and/or live in Guatemala even if he has the opportunity because his family is living in San Francisco with him. I can relate to Henry. We are both of us are from same trajectories; we left when we were fourteen years old. WWII veteran Irving Grover said, "It does not matter how old a man is, while dying (the wooden soldiers who were brought into the ship where he was a radioman) they called for their mothers." A man's mother is important no matter how old he is or what era they are living in. Henry makes that clear; even though at this time does not want to go back to Guatemala, he might change his point of view in the future. This happened to me because I felt anger towards Guatemala and its people. I went back a few times to Guatemala with my mother, but it does not feel like home anymore. Both Henry's and my concept of home is our families, the identity where we live and how happy we are where we reside. If Henry or I, like any other migrants, would have the opportunities not to struggle with life basic needs in our country of origin and to able to live happily with our families, most of us would not have migrated to the US. My mother reminds me that she buried my umbilical cord in the corner of our home in Guatemala, but more than half of my life I have not lived in that house. At the same time, I am the only one who has lived with my mother of our family members. And maybe for many of us the concept of home might be the womb where we came from; after all, many of us make sacrifices so that we can be happy with our families. Henry missed his mother and felt he missed his country of origin as well, but since his mother arrived to San Francisco, he no longer misses her by being distant or Guatemala.
Many Central American parents, especially single parents, find it impossible to feed and shelter their families and often have no option but to allow their children make a journey that could bring them into the US or leave them in the desert to die. Once in another country where they might have a better chance, they can help their families. Poverty is of one the main factors that force many parents to let their children make this unknown journey to the US. If the journey is successful, the rest of the family will follow. An unaccompanied child who journeys to the US might face possible death, sex slavery, and exploitation, which are risks people in this situation take.

If you'd prefer to speak to someone to ask about a specific item, you can call our customer experience team at 844-99-SUPER, and they will answer any questions you may have about your coverage.

Submit your request online or give us a shout at 844-99-SUPER, and a member of our customer experience team will help you with pricing and availability.
Service Rewards can be applied to any maintenance or concierge service scheduled through Super. They cannot be applied toward a co-pay.
You can earn Rewards each time a friend signs up for Super using your unique referral code, and we periodically run promotions that allow you to earn even more.
Your Service Rewards are good as long as you are a paid Super subscriber.

If I haven't got anything new for an entire month I hope to also feature finished objects from my designs by other knitters. But I promise, it'll all be design related!
Interested? Sign up here!

Have you been following the 30 Days project I mentioned back at the start of the month? Well today is my day! I'm happy to offer Root Cellar at 50% off – but for today only!
Just use the coupon code "30dayproject" (no quotes) during checkout and the discount will be applied to your purchase!
Why Root Cellar? Well I love this classic vest (in fact, I've loved my sample almost to pieces…) It has my signature waist and bust shaping, and it makes use of two very different yarns that complement each other well. The colors I've chosen are rustic and autumnal but it works equally well in many other colors (as you can see from the Ravelry projects page)
Also, be sure to follow along at The Loop to see the other exciting designers that are playing along this month!

Woah, lost another week there didn't I? Anyway, we have a winner from the Hitch giveaway!
Fibercamp, I have e-mailed you!
In the mean time, I have another design sneak peak for you. Not the socks, but something else…
I need more computer time. The baby naps pretty well when I bounce on the exercise ball. So I'm getting pretty good at typing and bouncing simultaneously…

Right, knitting, where were we? Oh yes! The Hitch book blog tour! Have you checked out all the designs in the Hitch book yet? All the designers in this collection did a great job channeling the fashions of the era into designs that you want to knit right now.
I love them all. But my favorites (well, besides my own) right now are the Alicia tam and mitts. I love the colorwork and mid century styling all tied into the theme of the book (reds, blacks, suspense!)
And yes, I love the Hitchcock theme – even if I'm not a huge fan of suspenseful movies. It's probably because I can channel the costume design class I took back in college. But I love the construction of these garments and how they channel the artistry, the costuming, the acting, the MOOD of the Hitchcock movies. And yes! It's possible for me to research and learn all those feelings without having to sit down and scare myself silly by watching the Hitchcock movies (I'm sleep deprived enough with a newborn as it is)
So, which is your favorite design? Leave a comment below telling me which, and why! Next wednesday (11/13 noon EST) I'll choose one comment randomly to win a digital copy of Hitch!
And make sure to check out the rest of the Hitch book blog tour:

No one warned me (or I didn't listen) but babies are mostly sleepy in the first two weeks. It's the few weeks after that where things get tricky (and sleep-deprived). But now that I'm in the thick of it everyone says wait until 6 or 8 weeks. Things get better again.
In the mean time. I'm just glad we've made it to one month! Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go nap on the couch. Or at least try.

Wow. Just when you thought the snobby elitism of Apple's corporate culture couldn't get any higher, you find out they are voiding people's warranties and hiding behind OSHA as a fake reason to.
Hate to break the news to the anti-smoking crowd, but second hand cigarette smoke is NOT an OSHA violation.
"Field studies of environmental tobacco smoke indicate that under normal conditions, the components in tobacco smoke are diluted below existing Permissible Exposure Levels (PELS.) as referenced in the Air Contaminant Standard (29 CFR 1910.1000)…It would be very rare to find a workplace with so much smoking that any individual PEL would be exceeded."
-Letter From Greg Watchman, Acting Ass't Sec'y, OSHA, To Leroy J Pletten, PHD, July 8, 1997
Certainly not the "thirdhand" smoke that would be in someone's laptop. What B.S., Apple. Your hardware already costs more, so now you're going to try to reduce costs by screwing your customers. Real nice.
Next up? Cat owners!
"Finger Prince? I don't think so." -Animaniacs
"Another head? What would I need 3 of them for?" -Barney Rubble
Because of course students should pay for their own, and nobody else should contribute. That would be socialism! Oh no! Much better that the poor are made to be dumber in the name of our overly-capitalist-worshiping ideals.
Fuck that. Just because you speak Chinese doesn't mean your search results should be censored. And fuck Microsoft for going along with that.
The greed of capitalism combined with the non-humanity of corporations means that profit == oppression in many situations — and this is one of them.

Wrong Zoroastrianism is considered Monotheistic so is Hinduism in a way, yet all are pagan religions. Yeah I've researched all Islamic claims of Christianity habeing pagan roots in my days as a Muslim, I challenge you to bring me proofs of paganism that I cannot refute. Baha'i and Mani submitted to the will to Hod weren't they Muslims? Islam doesn't mean total submission to God, the only way to actually enter Islam is not to just swear God is one, but also swear mohammed is his prophet. To enter Islam you cannot just swear God is one without swearing Mohammed's prophethood. Not to mention you mention his name in every prayer and have to continuously say peace be upon him when ever his name is mentioned. Jesus did the will of the God the Father not a pagan god of Arabia. On the contrary the name matters since all the prophets were Muslims, I'll now ask for historical proof that Islam isn't just Judeo-Christian mythology mixed with pagan practices and Zoroastrian theology, also the Quran mentions the prophets were Muslims and said la ilah ila Allah and were Muslims, the website of Osama Abdullah also says the prophets preached in Arabic. Can you give me verses in the Bible where the prophets were saying la ilah ila Allah wa Mohammed rasul Allah in those clear words, since your saying they were Muslims and Muslims usually always say these words, and your talking about the prophets so if this is what they were preaching then why is there no mention of it until an Arab pagan comes way after and claims prophethood?

Prophet Muhammad is not the founder of Islam, but he is the recipient of the teachings of Islam (the Tawheed religion) ie worship only to one God, just as the religion was given to all Prophets before.
إِنَّ هٰذِهِۦٓ �£ُمَّتُكُمْ �£ُمَّةً وٰحِدَةً وَ�£َنَا۠ رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُونِ ﴿ال�£نبياء:٩٢
"Verily, this Tauheed religion is one religion, and I am your Lord, so worship Me (Alone). – (Al Anbiya 21:92)
وَمَآ �£َرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا نُوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِ �£َنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلٰهَ إِلَّآ �£َنَا۠ فَاعْبُدُونِ ﴿ال�£نبياء:٢٥
"And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad), but We revealed to him: La ilaha illa ana (none has the right to be worshipped but I (Allah), so worship Me (Alone and none else)." (Al Anbiya 21:25)
The word 'Islam' comes from the word "Aslama" which is surrendered to Allah, and from the word Salima "that is to obtain salvation from Allah. Thus Islam implies surrender to Allah, and who is worshiped only Allah in order to obtain salvation, both in the world and in the hereafter. And those who practice Islam are called Muslims or people of Islam. Here is some evidence that the Prophets were Muslims:
Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Ya'qub.
وَوَصَّىٰ بِهَآ إِبْرٰهِيْمُ بَنِيهِ وَيَعْقُوبُ يٰبَنِىَّ إِنَّ اللهَ اصْطَفَىٰ لَكُمُ الدِّينَ فَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَ�£َنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ :١�£٢
"And this (submission to Allah, Islam) was enjoined by Ibrahim (Abraham) upon his sons and by Ya'qub (Jacob) (saying: 'O my sons! Allah has chosen for you the true religion, then die not except in the Faith of Islam." (Al Baqarah 2:132)
Prophet Noah has asked his people to become Muslims, here is the authentic proof.
فَإِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَمَا سَ�£َلْتُكُم مِّنْ �£َجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ �£َجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَى اللهِ ۖ وَ�£ُمِرْتُ �£َنْ �£َكُونَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ﴿يونس:٧٢
"But if you turn away from accepting my doctrine of Islamic Monotheism, then no reward have I asked of you, my reward is only from Allah, and I have been commanded to be of the Muslims." (Yunus 10:72)
Prophet Moses:
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ يٰقَوْمِ إِن كُنتُمْ ءَامَنتُم بِاللهِ فَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلُوٓا۟ إِن كُنتُم مُّسْلِمِينَ ﴿يونس:٨٤
"And Moses said: O my people! If you have believed in Allah, then put your trust in Him if you are Muslims."
(Yunus 10:84)
Prophet Isa (Jesus):
وَقَالَ الْمَسِيحُ يٰبَنِىٓ إِسْرٰٓءِيلَ اعْبُدُوا۟ اللهَ رَبِّى وَرَبَّكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشْرِكْ بِاللهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَ�£ْوَىٰهُ النَّارُ ۖ وَمَا لِلظّٰلِمِينَ مِنْ �£َنصَارٍ ﴿المائدة:٧٢
"And Jesus said: 'O Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.' Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, the Allah has forbidden Paradise to him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the wrong-doers there are no helpers." (Al Maidah 5:72)

You said
Prophet Muhammad is not the founder of Islam, but he is the recipient of the teachings of Islam (the Tawheed religion) ie worship only to one God, just as the religion was given to all Prophets before.
Who was then the first muslim or first muslim Prophet if Muhammad wasn't the founder of Islam.
Was Adam the first muslim?
According to several passages in the Quran, Muhammad was the first Muslim.
Say: Shall I choose for a protecting friend other than Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, Who feedeth and is never fed? Say: I am ordered to be the first to surrender [aslama] (unto Him). And be not thou (O Muhammad) of the idolaters. S. 6:14 Pickthall
Say, verily my Lord hath directed me into a right way, a true religion, the sect of Abraham the orthodox; and he was no idolater. Say, verily my prayers, and my worship, and my life, and my death are dedicated unto God, the Lord of all creatures: He hath no companion. This have I been commanded: I am the first Moslem (Wa 'Ana 'Awwalu Al-Muslimin). S. 6:161-163 Sale
He hath no associate. This am I commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims. S. 6:163
This is contradicted by both the Quran and various Islamic traditions which refer to the presence of true believers both before and during Muhammad's alleged "call" to prophethood. The Quran mentions that Adam, Noah, the Patriarchs, the twelve tribes of Israel, Moses, Jesus etc., were all believers and many of them even messengers who lived a long time before Muhammad:

Sorry, I just can reply because of busyness in the month of Ramadan.
I say once again that Prophet Muhammad was not the first inventor and founder of Islam.
In this case you must know and understand what is the meaning of the word Islam?
The word 'Islam' is derived from the word "Aslama" which is surrendered to Allah, and from the word "Salima" is to obtain salvation from Allah. Thus Islam implies:
Submission to Allah, and worship only to Allah in order to obtain salvation from Him.
And those who practice Islamic sharia are called "Muslims"
From the Prophet Adam to the Prophet Muhammad, they were the messengers of Allah who invite his people to Allah and surrender only to Allah. (Quran 21:92)
"Truly! This Tauheed religion (Islamic Monotheism) is the religion of your ummah (followers), the one religion, and I am your Lord, therefore worship Me."
Here are some evidence that the Prophets were people who submitted to Allah (Muslim):
Prophet Noah, he has invited his people to be Muslims, (Quran 10:72)
"But if you turn away (from accepting my doctrine of Islamic Monotheism, i.e. to worship none but Allah), then no reward have I asked of you, my reward is only from Allah, and I have been commanded to be of the Muslims (i.e. those who submit to Allah's Will)."
Prophet Abraham and Prophet Jacob. (Quran 2:132)
"And this submission to Allah (Islam) was enjoined by Ibrahim (Abraham) upon his sons and by Ya'qub (Jacob) saying: 'O my sons! Allah has chosen for you the true religion, then die not except in the Faith of Islam'."
Prophet Ibrahim is known as the father of the Prophets, automatically, his 'Tauheed' will also followed by the next Prophets.
Prophet Musa (Moses). (Quran 10:84)
"And Musa (Moses) said: 'O my people! If you have believed in Allah, then put your trust in Him if you are Muslims'."
Prophet Isa (Jesus). (Quran 5:72)
"....But the Messiah Isa (Jesus) said: ' O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Verily, whosoever sets up partners (in worship) with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise to him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the wrong-doers there are no helpers'."
In conclusion, all the Prophets are those who submit to Allah and who are worshiped only Allah, means they are Muslims.
That's all my belief in the Qur'an, anyone can have other opinion, therefore, one's faith should not be forced because only Allah who has the "Hidayah" (Guidance).
My principle in religion is, firstly I must understand the Quran to always follow the truth from Allah. (6:153)
"And verily, this Quran is My Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not other paths, for there will separate you away from His Path. This He has ordained for you that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious)."
The Quran 39:9
".....say: 'Are those who know equal to those who know not? verily, only those who have common sense are willing to accept the lesson (get lesson from Allah's Signs and Verses of the Quran)."
So, Prophet Muhammad is not a liar.

Allah ask Mohammad to say :
46:9 Say (O' Mohammad) "I am no bringer of new doctrine among the Messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I follow but that which is revealed to me by inspiration; I am but a Warner open and clear."
When the Ayats/signs of God, comes to one and he believes and submits to them without hesitation, then he becomes the first to submit/become muslim to these Ayas/signs and this process keeps on repeating in all times.

Let me remind you the Quran was revealed in the month of ramadan which was already a well established pagan ritual long before Muhammad's time which he incorparated into islam to make it a holy so called godly practise what he have stolen from the pagans.
The rest is not God's word a k a Allah.
The Quran is not the truth of Allah or any god, but it was only from Muhammad.
No Angel of God would dare to start a new religion after Jesus except the Satan.

What makes you think Islam is a new religion ?? Can you prove the basic teaching of Jesus (or the prophets before him) are different from Islam ?? Did Jesus preach that God Almighty is a '3-in-1' God ?? Did Jesus (or the prophets before him) preach the concept of original sin ??
If Jesus and none of the prophets before him ever preached a '3-in-1' God nor did they preach the concept of original sin, then, it's clear that whoever started Christianity was inspired by Satan whose main objective is to draw mankind away from God Almighty and in Christianity, Satan succeeded in doing just that as billions of Christians took Jesus Christ as their savior when they should turn to God Almighty as their only sole savior – "I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from Me there is no savior" – Isaiah 43:11

As I've said before, Fig. 2 is all grown up and nothing says sophistication like marrying (no pun intended) modern and romantic. When Washingtonian Bride & Groom reached out and asked me to create something new for their editorial spread based on the color orange. I knew it would be the perfect chance to show the more traditional brides of Washington, DC that romantic can be paired with modern without being too stuffy or floral.
Orange is an intimidating color and maybe not one everyone wants as a primary color on their wedding invitations for you years to come. But using softer tones like peach and gray with small pops of orange (like in the envelopes) is a sweet and romantic take on this modern palette. Soft brush stroke calligraphy in a romantic style as a pattern turned out to be the jumping point. When paired with modern typefaces, the outcome is modern and romantic. I envision gorgeous florals in all shades of orange spilling over beautiful vases, peachy colored bridesmaids dresses, and an orange blossom flavored cake in an outdoor venue.
So remember... modern doesn't have to mean cold and sterile and romantic doesn't have to mean overly floral. Sometimes using a beautiful art form like calligraphy and making it a pattern is just as effective as gorgeous watercolor florals. And never be afraid to inject a happy color in some small way! After all, this is the happiest occasion that should be celebrated in style!

NORFOLK, Va. – Senior Oscar Kutch tripled with one out and scored on a single by sophomore catcher Eric Schnepf in the top of the 10th inning, then junior closer Ian Kinney recorded a 1-2-3 bottom of the 10th as the Tufts University baseball ended its spring trip with a rousing 7-6 victory at Virginia Wesleyan College on Sunday.
|Freshman Brent Greeley provided great middle relief for the Jumbos
The Jumbos (8-1) trailed 5-0 after two innings before rallying for four runs in the top of the sixth to tie the score at 5-5. Tufts took a 6-5 lead in the eighth, but the Marlins tied the game in the bottom of the inning. After a scoreless ninth, Tufts won it in the 10th.
Tufts got great work from its bullpen as freshman Brent Greeley went 3.2 innings allowing three hits and no runs in relief of starter Tim Superko. Kinney earned the win after 3.1 innings of two-hit, one-run relief.
Three hits and two Jumbo errors led to three Viriginia Wesleyan runs in the bottom of the first. Deon Hammond had an rbi single and scored on a double-play ball later in the frame. Taylor Erby homered with two outs for the 3-0 advantage.
Hammond's triple was the highlight of the VWC second when they had three more hits and scored twice. The three-bagger scored Brandon Kussmaul, who had singled home a run earlier in the inning.
Marlins starter Jay Crusemire limited Tufts to no runs and three hits in the first three innings, but the Jumbos got on the board in the fourth. After walks to Hayden Gruber and Casey Santos-Ocampo caused a pitching change, Kutch walked to load the bases. Gruber scored on a double-play ball as Viriginia Wesleyan limited the damage.
Senior SS Christian Zazzali hit a two-run single in the sixth inning to spark the Jumbos' game-tying rally. Tom Petry followed with an rbi single and Harry Brown hit a sacrifice fly that tied the ballgame at 5-5.
The Jumbos manufactured the go-ahead run in the eighth as Kutch was hit by a pitch, moved to second on Schnepf's sacrifice, took third on a Zazzali single and scored on a sac fly by Tommy O'Hara. However, the Marlins came right back and tied the score 6-6 when Jimmy Ziemke doubled with one out and scored on a single by Austin Obenour.
Both teams turned double plays in the ninth to erase base-runners, leading to the decisive 10th.
Zazzali finished 2 for 4 with two rbis and a run for Tufts, while Santos-Ocampo went 2 for 4 with a run and O'Hara also had two hits. Kutch and Gruber scored twice.
Hammond, Erby, Randy Niesz and Daniel Petro all had two hits for the Marlins. Kussmaul scored twice from his spot at the top of the order. Jacob Pilarski took the pitching loss in relief.
The Jumbos return home to host Massachusetts Maritime Academy on Wednesday. VWC (10-11) is at Greensboro on Tuesday at 4 p.m.

I don't ride at night. It's just too scary to me. Turn off the sun, add a driver who is tired and distracted at the end of the work day (or worse, one who is coming home from a bar at the end of a work day), put a cyclist on the side of the road, and you have a potential for heartache.
But now that the time change has rolled around again, it is often kind of dusky when I ride home at night from the office. This is compounded by the fact that this time of day is also when traffic is at its heaviest. So I have a dusk-n-dawn bag of tricks I use whenever the sun is low in the sky. At that hour, I don't need to see where I'm going so much as I need it to be seen. I strap a head light on the bike, turn on my permanently mounted tail light to blinky mode, and don some reflective clothing. Here is the kit spread out on a coffee table at home:


text: Most games, Russell Westbrook has at least one opportunity to showcase why he was voted the NBA's most athletic player by the league's GMs at the beginning of this season. That was certainly the case last night against the hapless Philadelphia 76ers, as Jerami Grant got a face full of what Westbrook is capable of. The Thunder guard came off a pick, took on one defender, then attacked the rim with his trademark ferocity, punishing everyone and everything that dared get in his way. That included the 6'8" Grant, whose jump to contest was just no match for the wrecking ball coming at him. If you ask us, it might be best just to get out of the way.

Kevin Kilbane is hoping the fear of becoming the worst team in Premiership history can inspire Sunderland to launch an unlikely revival in the closing weeks of the campaign.
The Black Cats have taken just 19 points this season and, having lost seven league games in a row, have a mountain to climb if they are to avoid relegation from the top flight.
Watford hold the unwelcome record for the lowest tally in a season since the inception of the Premiership in 1992, going down with 24 points three years ago.
And, while nobody in the Wearside squad has given up hope that Mick McCarthy can somehow lead the club to safety, that is a statistic Kilbane is both well aware of and determined to avoid.
"We don't want to go down and be relegated as the Premiership's worst-ever team," said the 26-year-old, who admits he cannot bear to look at the top-flight table following a run which has seen struggling Sunderland collect just one point since the turn of the year.
"We can't be going down like that. It has been brought to my attention and those sort of statistics are not good to see.
"It isn't the kind of thing you would want to have on your CV and I'm sure that the lads are all going to be fighting for the remainder of the season.
"I try to avoid looking at the league table. It is always in your face though, it is always there, it is always being brought up, it isn't good reading.
"Everything - goals for, goals against, the points total, it isn't nice to see. When you are doing well you look at that table as much as you can.
"You look at who you can catch, who is behind you. But in our case, there is nobody behind us."
Kilbane missed Saturday's 2-0 home defeat by Bolton, McCarthy's first game since taking over from Howard Wilkinson, through illness but he hopes to return to action at Upton Park this weekend.
The club's 19th league defeat of the season has left Sunderland 10 points from safety.
But, with only eight games to go, the Republic of Ireland international has warned his team-mates that they can't afford to let their heads drop, admitting it is likely to take seven wins to keep the club afloat.
"You have to come in optimistic in the morning," he added. "The lads are smiling, the lads are happy - they have got to be. If you get down it goes into the next day and the day after that and you won't be up for the game coming up on the Saturday.
"We have to try to keep each other happy. If one of the lads is down, I try to pick them up.
"If I am down, someone else will do the same thing. We have to stay as positive as possible."
Sunderland full-back Stephen Wright is unlikely to play at Upton Park after having a scan on his injured hamstring, while goalkeeper Thomas Myhre's season is over following surgery to cure thigh problem.
Thomas S?rensen is in the Denmark squad for the Euro 2004 qualifiers against Romania on March 29 and Bosnia on April 2.

The City Council also approved Utility Rate Assistance Program expansion to include nonprofit organizations that provide housing. The program helps income-eligible Sacramento households save approximately $360 a year on their utility costs.
The water and wastewater rate increases will help Utilities complete critical replacement and improvement projects to keep the City's water and wastewater systems safe, reliable and financially stable. The funds will also ensure the City remains in compliance with all state and federal regulations.
"We are appreciative of Council's support as we address necessary challenges in order to keep these systems running efficiently and effectively for our residents," said Bill Busath, director of the Department of Utilities.
Key projects scheduled for rate adjustment funding include:
The average residential customer will see the rate adjustment increase their monthly bill for water and wastewater services by $6.59 in year one, $7.23 in year two, $7.93 in year three and $8.70 in year four.
The Department of Utilities recently conducted a statistically valid telephone survey to obtain input about customer awareness levels, opinions and attitudes about their water, sewer and storm drainage services. The survey results show nine in 10 customers agree Utilities provides reliable service with a strong majority also agreeing Utilities adequately maintains services, pipelines and facilities related to the water, wastewater and storm drainage systems.
"With tonight's approval, we can deliver the Accelerated Meter Program and continue to meet our customers' trust in us to provide reliable services for decades to come," added Busath.
The survey results also indicate more than 81 percent of customers feel Utilities delivers safe drinking water. Earlier this month, an Associated Press poll testing American's confidence in safe drinking water showed only half of Americans are very confident in the safety of their drinking water while 33 percent are moderately confident. The Associated Press poll also showed seven in 10 people drink tap water but about half filter it first.
