One of the oldest clubs in rugby league history, as part of the world's first twenty-two rugby league clubs formed, Hull FC have a proud history and even stronger following.
Made by ISC, from 100% polyester, the Hull FC Home Shirt was released for the 2012 Super League season, with Hull looking to improve upon reaching the elimination finals in 2011.
An imposing grey and black offering is given a touch of esteem with a gold inner collar and edging to the sleeves. The Hull FC badge is embroidered onto the left chest and sits above the P&O Ferries main sponsor which also appears on the reverse side. In terms of sponsors, Hull First Trains also adorns the chest whilst Magners Irish Cider is printed onto both sleeves.
Most recent glory for Hull FC came in the form of their Challenge Cup triumph in 2005.

Despite the growth of research on masculinity both in Gender Studies and in Classical Studies, and the resurgence of interest in ancient fiction, no volume has yet been devoted to exploring the representation of masculinity in the Greek novels. This book examines three key discourses of ancient Greek masculinity (paideia, andreia, and sexual ideology) evidenced in the five so-called 'ideal' Greek novels (those of Chariton, Xenophon of Ephesus, Achilles Tatius, Longus, and Heliodorus). Jones argues that while some of the narratives may be set in the classical past, the masculine concerns they d ... More

June 21st marks the first day of summer, the longest day of the year for us. The temps crept up into the 90's and has sent a shock wave into our systems here in northern California. I think every year we go from the mid 60's straight to the 90's, no in between to ring in the summer climate change. This year was no different.
So to help ease the temps on our northern California bodies, the kids and I headed to the beach.....where it is always 20 degrees cooler.
Pt. Reyes National Seashore is just a 30 minute drive from our front door to one of the many beaches we have to choose from. Our favorite, Heart's Desire was closed Tuesday so we drove five miles further to Kehoe Beach, our first visit.
The parking is along the street. At the entrance to the trail head you'll find some pit toilets. The walk to the beach is a .6 mile trek. Very do-able with kids. The trail is narrow though, so strollers aren't an option. Dogs are allowed, leashed, on a portion of the beach, but we decided to leave Chloe at home.
Just about there, just need to hike over the hill.
During the spring time, the trail is loaded with wild flowers. I love the color of this thistle we saw yesterday.
Ahhh....a nice cool 70 degrees near the water, but it felt like 80 as we were laying on the beach and the sand was too hot to walk barefooted on unless you were near the water.
We didn't go near the surf, this beach claims to have undertows and sleeper waves that can catch you off guard, but one of the reasons I chose this beach is the fact it has a creek that feeds into the ocean....perfect for kids to play in without worries.
We were having so much fun, we stayed for five hours.....plus I wanted an empty cooler to carry back to the car.....with two big eating kids, mission accomplished.
How did you ring in the first day of summer?

hey!! Any interesting, wierd, funny, etc. fish stories out there?!TELL ME ABOUT 'EM(: Hey:-)I want to hear your fish stories!!! Hehehe heres mine............Okay, so I am currently in the middle of transitioning my african cichlids to a 60 G tank from a 35(temporary) G tank. Well, I was moving two of them to help the cycle, so I chose Sushi & Khalifa. I caught Khalifa right away, but something wierd happened......I removed all of the fake plants and other decor and Sushi was no where to be found:shock: It wouldn't have been so wierd, but i had seen Sushi this morning( she hides ALOT) Then, I went into panic mode! I looked all around the tank, inside her fav log(in EVERY CREVICE TOO)..but nothing changed. My Sushi was gone:cry: Then, suddenly I saw a yellow thing lying inside the log( Sushi is an Electric Yellow) SUSHI!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, I picked her up and put her into the tank and............................SHE SWAM!!!! I was literally ecstatic:lol::lol::lol::lol: Thats my fish story, I hope you enjoyed:-) TELL ME YOURS!!!!!!!!!:-) |
i have a pretty ironic fish story.... so when i got my very first fish tank i was only about 10 or 11. and the first fish i got were some guppies and white clouds. they were in a little tank probably about 15g. then one night we bought the movie Finding Nemo and we were watching it on the couch next to my fishtank. when the movie ended i went to feed the fish and 2 of the white clouds were missing :shock: we looked everywhere in the tank but couldnt find them. then at last we took the lid off the filter and looked inside and there they were! luckily they were fine and never got back into the filter again but we all thought it was funny that while watching Finding Nemo, where the fish go into the filter in order to escape the dentist, my fish got stuck in the filter too haha. well thats my fishie tale :-) |
I just moved my first betta into my 10 gallon. He lives with 3 corydoras and male guppy now. At first my red betta was really territorial and was always chasing the guppy away. But now he just lets my guppy follow him everywhere. Hes always right behind or beside or above my betta! This morning I woke up to find them playing in the current from my filter together! So cute! |
AWWWWWWW!!!!! That sounds sooo cute! By the way could you put one guppy and one betta in the same tank together...... and maybe an african dwarf frog?? Thanks for your story:-):-) |
Be careful mixing guppies and bettas- sometimes the guppy will nip the betta's fins, and sometimes the betta will kill the guppy. |
Oh.....that sounds harsh...... I willl definetly look out for that.......I think my betta USA is pretty easy going though:-) |
The only funny story/sad story is I found out when I was like 7 that your not supposed to pet your goldfish:( |
aww:-( |
lol. Thanks. It was pretty sad :( |

Clearing Photos 14
I think the tram shelters work like this. A private company erects them, maintains them and cleans them. They sublet the shelter advertising to another company who maintain the ads and all do a fine job, I must say. It costs tram passengers and councils nothing. All win.
But when the advertisers start taking over public footpaths with their ads, I start to get concerned. Thankfully it has now been removed.
Edit: The mat may have gone, but the sticky stuff that held the mat in place has not gone and dead leaves have stuck to it. Very attractive.
7 comments:
LS, I think it works on percentages like the London Underground. A certain percentage of area has to be scratched before the glass is replaced. Now if only the vandals knew the percentage, their work could last forever.
Btw, the blue mat may have gone, but the sticky stuff that held it in place has not and leaves are stuck to it.Yep, those vandals would would be keeping an eye on the percentage. Oops!
Vandals and a polysyllable word! Don't thinks they goes together mate! :0)
The idiocy of vandals ever seems to amaze moi. (Not that I ever scratched my name on a wooden desk lid with a dip pen nib at primary school.)You can't seem to get away from advertising these days. I've got a photo of a building in Taylor Square with a massive billboard on it today.

Antislavery Poetry from San Francisco
The Pacific Appeal
was the leading African American newspaper on the West Coast during the early 1860s. A newly-published set of eight antislavery poems from the journal's inaugural 1862 volume captures the sense of expectancy within the African American community for the imminent end of US slavery. These poems include the work of James Madison Bell, a San Francisco plasterer, brickmason, and poet.

Wir haben eine wunderbare Zeit als Familie in Piräus erleben dürfen. Miriam ist eine sehr liebevolle Gastgeberin, sie hat uns vom Bus abgeholt. Die Wohnung ist sehr stilvoll eingerichtet und durch die verschiedenen Ebenen sehr originell. Alles war super sauber und praktisch. Als besonderes Extra fanden wir alles zum Frühstück und eine große Schale frisches Obst. Miriam war stets freundlich, sehr besorgt und hat uns viele wichtige Informationen und Tipps gegeben. Auch während des Aufenthalts war sie stets erreichbar und hat uns geholfen. Wir waren rundum zufrieden und sagen herzlich DANKESCHÖN.
Winfried2015-11-06T00:00:00ZMiriam's place was cute, with an interesting decor. Everything was as described and we enjoyed our stay. She was flexible with checkin and checkout. We would recommend it. Thanks Miriam
sandra2016-07-10T00:00:00ZMiriam's place is stunning! It's cozy, comfortable, easy to reach and it's a beautiful house. Miriam is very helpful, she provided us with great suggestions for attractions, she gave us DETAILED INFO regarding how to get to anywhere. Perfect host. Too bad I did not see her. Definetely would choose her place again for the next stay in Athens/Piraeus
Febri2015-09-19T00:00:00ZThe flat gas very unique character! Great, original place! Our 6-persons team spent a good time there. The location of the flat is perfect, close to the bakery, supermarket and restaurants, ferry is about 20 minutes walking. Thanks a lot!
Monika2016-04-30T00:00:00ZMiriam was super helpful upon our arrival. She had maps and information about the neighborhood already available for us. The house was as described. Very clean and modern. The house is very well located for exploring Piraeus. 10 min walk from airport bus station.
negin2015-10-03T00:00:00ZLe logement était super, il est exactement comme les photos. Très bien équipé et très bien agencé. L'emplacement est agréable. Nous avons passé 10 jours la bas et grâce aux nombreux conseils de Miriam nous n'avons pas eu le temps de nous ennuyer. Je recommande ce logement à tout le monde. Très bon rapport qualité/prix ! Merci pour votre accueil !
margaux2016-09-07T00:00:00ZMiriam has been a great host! We didn't get to meet her unfortunately, but it felt like she was with us all the time. She helped us with directions and tips for the area (restaurants, shops, transports, etc.). The house is beautiful, conveniently located, spacious, and with great wifi. I would definitely recommend that house! Thanks again Miriam! :)
Arnaud2016-06-21T00:00:00ZThe stay was excellent! Miriam was very kind and picked us up from the bus stop. The place is in an excellent location and a very nice apartment

Very helpful and great place to stay for our early morning ferry to the islands!
Chris2016-09-15T00:00:00ZDeuxieme fois que nous nous sommes arrêtés à Aegean Windows, cette fois pour passer la nuit avant de repartir le lendemain pour l'aéroport. Vraiment très bien situé, entre le port et le terminus de piraeus. Si nous repartions sur les îles nous rendormirions ici ! Hotel tres sympa et très ouvert, nous recommandons !
sylvain2016-08-19T00:00:00ZFoi otima!
Idon 2016-07-29T00:00:00ZGreat hosts! They waited for us even though our plane was delayed, they gave us very helpful and clear instructions on how to get from the airport to their place. The place is prime location if you are getting a ferry, yet you cannot hear the hustle and bustle from the inside. I highly recommend this as a place to stay, we were very satisfied. Thank You so much!
Emily2016-07-22T00:00:00ZGood stay even if it was only for one night. Great location as close to the port and metro
Giorgia2016-08-26T00:00:00ZWe absolutely loved our stay by the bustling port of Athens. Our hosts were incredibly helpful and went to a lot of trouble to make sure we had everything we needed. They even bought a toy for our baby! How thoughtful. The apartment is light and bright and decorated with a retro urban style. Despite the action below on the street, the apartment is so quiet and the view of the ferries is simply magnificent. This place was ideal for us as we had a very early ferry to catch the next morning. I would definitely recommend staying here.
Cassie2016-09-12T00:00:00ZPerfect stop over in Pireaus with our young family ! Arapis and Totis met ua from the metro and made everything so easy. The apartment was clean, stylish and had everything we needed...and the view was amazing. I would highly recommend this place if you need a place to stay in Athens on your way to the islands.
Sophia2016-07-24T00:00:00ZArapis is a wonderful host, very helpful and kind. We had a great stay and will return next time we take the boat from Piraeus. Highly recommended

Die Unterkunft von Claudia ist super, vor allem wegen der Dachterrasse. Um vom Hafen oder von der Sub zur Unterkunft zu kommen, empfiehlt es sich, den Bus zu nehmen. Wir sind gelaufen in der Mittagshitze, was nicht zu empfehlen ist, da der Weg viel länger ist, als auf dem Stadtplan angezeigt. Direkt gegenüber der Unterkunft besteht die Möglichkeit, ins Meer zu gehen (Steinküste). Ein paar Gehminuten weiter entfernt befindet sich der Sandstrand. Beides ist nicht überfüllt. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt in Claudias Unterkunft und können diese nur weiterempfehlen.
Janine2016-08-05T00:00:00ZIch und mein Freund hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in der Wohnung. Sie liegt super und der Ausblick von der Dachterasse ist einfach grandios. Alles war perfekt.
Sarah2017-02-09T00:00:00ZThe view is incredible
Melanie2016-11-05T00:00:00ZClaudia and her daughter greeted us at the apartment and made us feel very welcome. The apartment is located close to piraeus port which is what we needed and is a short walk along the water to some great restaurants. The apartment itself has a lovely big terrace with sea views. Would recommend.
Matt2016-10-30T00:00:00ZClaudia and her sweet daughter came to meet me and show me around even though I arrived around 10pm. The apartment is well located in a nice neighborhood by the beach, I had a pleasant surprise when I woke up in the morning and saw the the nice sea view.
Talia2016-08-11T00:00:00Zunbelievable view and Claudia was very gracious host. highly recommend for those passing through. much thanks
Michael2016-07-15T00:00:00ZUn super séjour ! L'appartement est très bien et Claudia une hôte admirable ! À recommander !

Dimitris2016-11-07T00:00:00ZMarina's house was filled with so many goodies, (i.e. cookies, liquors, water, and more), in a very spacious and homey apartment. I'm not one who likes to review on character in addition to quality of location, but her spirit was so good that I would be remiss not to bring it up. Easily, you will get great value from this property, especially if you appreciate a home-like feel to your rentals. For me it was a great one day stay where I caught a ferry to the Greek islands the next day. Thanks, Marina!
Leon2016-05-12T00:00:00ZMarina was very hospitable and check-in was a very smooth and easy process. The location is by the sea and there are many nearby grocers and bakeries. The apartment was clean and we had a lovely stay!
Chris2016-11-26T00:00:00ZShe was very kind and nice host!! We ware late for the time that we thought cause we lost the way,but she didn't angry and searched us ! We can consider this room for every one.
優妃2016-06-13T00:00:00ZExcelent! Marina is a superb host!
Antonio2016-04-09T00:00:00ZLa casa è fuori mano rispetto alla zona più movimentata del porto piena di negozi, la descrizione di come raggiungere l appartamento e incomprensibile, tanto è che ci siamo persi...marina nn parla inglese e quindi abbiamo avuto difficoltà. L appartamento molto rumoroso perché si affaccia direttamente sulla strada, letto scomodissimo e pare di aver visto un ospite indesiderato (uno scarafaggio)
Salva2016-07-29T00:00:00ZMarina is a very welcoming host who is always ready to help you with whatever you need. Her apartment is very cosy and homy, situated in a good part of Piraeus, within two-minute walk from Marina Zea. There are minimarkets and fruit markets around as well as many places to have a bite.
Valentina2016-07-22T00:00:00ZQuedarnos en lo de Marina fue justo lo que necesitábamos, ya que teníamos que tomar un ferry muy temprano en la mañana hacia las islas. El lugar estaba bien ubicado, a 15 min caminando del puerto y de la estación de tren que te deja en el centro de Atenas. La zona estaba bien, con varios restaurantes cerca para comer algo. El departamento tenia lo necesario y estaba muy limpio. Mariana no habla casi ingles pero fue muy agradable con nosotros!

Small but very nice! Great facilities (bathroom, kitchen, smart tv) and enjoyed the balcony.
Vincent2016-11-24T00:00:00ZStayed in several apartments in Piraeus for work, but this is definitely the best one.
Vincent2016-12-19T00:00:00ZThe place was very clean, designed well. a bit far from where we wanted to be. but overal was a great experience. Dimitry was so nice and kind to us.
Sadaf2016-04-20T00:00:00ZWe Booked here as a starting point to a trip to Mykonos and then back to Athens. Our goal was to have a place to recover from jet lag. It served that purpose well. This is an urban neighborhood, with people talking, dogs, traffic, in all, just what we expected. Be aware that the beds are very low and in our room, first floor, it is two twins. Room was spotless. Host was readily available.
Crislynn2016-05-30T00:00:00ZStayed in several apartments in Piraeus for work, but this is definitely the best one!
Vincent2016-12-19T00:00:00ZThe Pros: - Great area with access to a lot of different areas of the city. - The place is stocked with appliances and silverware if you need it. - There is a great bakery down the road. - The host allowed us entry into the place earlier than the 2 o'clock check-in time. - The place is small but it is private and beats having just a room in someone's place. The Cons: - We never met the host or anyone at the reception and we never saw anyone at reception when we were there. - If transporting yourself and your luggage around by public (URL HIDDEN) prepared for a little hike up the steeply graded streets in this area of the city.
Michael2016-10-11T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
LarsWe are happy with the location as it is pretty quiet. We only met the host in the evening after checked in. The phone was not working when we tried to call the host.

Staying at hanna 's was great. It was a beautiful airy apartment really close to the port in Piraeus with a huge balcony, and very comfortable bed. There are lots of nice cafes, bars and restaurants nearby and all felt very safe. Hanna was lovely and very helpful. Thank you!
Nicole2016-08-19T00:00:00ZI just stayed a night to transit but her apt was very comfortable and near nice restaurants.
Steve2016-07-27T00:00:00ZA very nice apartment that gives you a homy feeling, adjacent to Zeas port and close to the central Piraeus port with convenient bus lines, owned by a very friendly and helpful person. Thank you Hanna
PAPAKONSTANTINOU2016-07-12T00:00:00ZHanna place was great, near the port, with big terrace. I only stayed one night but Hanna was really kind.
Victor2016-08-30T00:00:00ZΤο σπίτι το αδίκουν οι φωτογραφίες.είναι πολύ πιο όμορφο από κοντά.με απίστευτη θέα κ ησυχία.καθαρο.με πολύ ιδιαίτερη και προσωπική διακόσμηση.ενιωθες σα το σπίτι σου.απιστευτα φιλική ή οικοδέσποινα.μπραβο hanna!
Stathis2016-07-12T00:00:00ZI'm very disappointed, the apartment is deplorable, it didn't have AC as it was stated, not even a fan, and to make things worse the apartment is on the 5th floor and has no access to the elevator because the host had problems with her neighbours. I had to climb up and down five floors using the staircase, disgusting and annoying. Very noisy, I could hear cars and lorries day and night plus loud noises and street fights. I was received by someone who introduced herself as the host, but in the end she confessed that she wasn't the host but a friend pretending to be the owner. Neither the host who lied nor the apartment should be in Airbnb. The one night I spent there was terrible. Never again!
Monica2016-09-10T00:00:00ZHanna was great, she was very helpful but also gave me the space that I needed (left me alone) to deal with a death in the family. The apartment was even beter. It is large with a huge corner balcony which helped whenever there was a breeze. The heat in August is relenting. If I am ever in Piraeus, I will definately look up Hannas place first.
George2016-08-24T00:00:00ZHanna was a lovely, generous & very friendly host. She made me feel right at home as if i was in my own apartment. Everything one could need was provided & her apartment is close to restaurants, convenience stores, the water & the ferries of Piraeus. Would definitely stay there again!!

The experience was great, the place really Nice and clean. Cozy as well. Oksana was the best.
Lucia2016-09-20T00:00:00ZWe were very welcome to Oksana's house , a pretty clean and fresh room was waiting for us . We had nice dinner un her garden behind the house , she did the order for us. The house Is not far from the port , easy to catch a boat . I warmly recommand to go to Oksasana 's house .
Béatrice2016-09-13T00:00:00ZÉtape agréable en revenant des Cyclades dans une maison chaleureuse avec une hôte charmante. Chambre avec vue petit jardin. Un peu loin du port à pied avec des bagages !!!
johanna2016-09-26T00:00:00ZThe place was so lovely! We were offered breakfast options for very good prices and there was a beautiful garden in the back and a very tiny friendly dog. Decent walking distance to the port, we did not spend much time inside, but our time there was very nice!
Erinn2016-04-29T00:00:00ZOksana was a very welcoming host and her place was comfortable and convenient to the port (about a fifteen minute walk). When I arrived she offered me fresh lemonade and was thoughtful and caring in her questions about me and my journey. She was also helpful in answering questions that I had and ordered me food for dinner so I didn't have to go anywhere! Oksana smokes in the house, which was fine for me, but I did not see on the profile. Overall, I had everything I needed and her place was a great spot to have a quiet stopover on my way to the islands!
Lauren2016-06-10T00:00:00ZL'appart est parfait pour rester quelques nuits, à proximité du pirée.
Aurélien2016-08-25T00:00:00ZI would recommend Oksana's place to anyone who wants to stay a few days in pireaus. Although we didn't meet our host, everything was arranged well and the room/ kitchen/ bathroom was clean.
Maryna2016-09-06T00:00:00ZOksana and her mother were really kind. The house is clean and it has a beautiful garden. The position is good to Pireus port! Very reccomended!!

Ich habe mich unglaublich schnell zuhause und geborgen gefühlt! Die Gastgeberin war immer erreichbar und hat mir bei meinen Anliegen sehr schnell und gut weitergeholfen. Das Appartement ist zudem unfassbar toll gelegen, sodass man und nur wenigen Schritten am Hafen, dem Meer oder netten Restaurants ist. Die Verbindung in die Stadt selbst war zudem absolut super
Angelika2016-06-06T00:00:00ZGreat hostg
Marek2016-08-19T00:00:00ZHighly recommend! The flat is fantastic it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is great only a short walk to the port with many restaurants along the way :-)
Tiana2016-05-28T00:00:00ZIrini was an excellent host - incredibly easy to communicate with, and left us with clear instructions about the apartment. The place was an easy walk from the port, with several nice shops around which made our one night stay very enjoyable!
Belinda2016-07-30T00:00:00ZNous avons passé deux nuits chez Irini. L'appartement était entièrement à notre disposition avec une petite terrasse, à côté de la marina dans le port du Pirée. Irini est sympathique et à l'écoute de nos demandes. Merci !
Cécile2016-10-17T00:00:00ZIrene was absolutely fantastic host, very responsive to inquiries, available on her telephone for coordination. She was extremely hospitable, kind, and the best possible hostess! I will recommend her most highly. Her apartment was very modern, clean, everything worked perfectly, and when a minor problem occured, she was immediately available to solve it within two hours! Amazing lady! She provided us with very valuable local information on restaurants and shopping, that saved us time! I plan to reserve her apartment in my next trip to Piraeus. The location is outstanding, lively and very safe. It's one of the best deals!
demetrios2016-12-26T00:00:00ZTrès bien accueillie Appartement propre et agréable Je vous recommande cette appartement :)
Laetitia2016-11-04T00:00:00ZNice Location as public Transportation, cruise port, Piraeus Shopping Areas can be reached easily within a couple of minutes. Bars & Restaurants within a short Walking distance. The only negative Point is that many neighbors have Dogs that are all day and night on the balconies and whenever someone Comes along the street they ALL start barking!!! That made it impossible to sleep well.

Theodore was aus helpful as Can be! Picked us, drove me around to get food, booked the ferry Tickets with me and Even legt some refreshments in the fridge! Sure thing that we'll stay At his Place on our way back again!
Patrick2016-09-25T00:00:00ZThéodore est un hôte parfait . Nous sommes arrivés à 3h du latin et il avait tout prévu afin que nous soyons bien accueillis et surtout que nous trouvions facilement le logement dans Athènes . L appartement est très confortable et bien conçu pour des vacanciers. Théodore avait aussi laissé quelques friandises. Merci beaucoup Théodore
aude2016-08-13T00:00:00ZTheo`s Apt as of Theo himself are very nice. Theo is a very kind and generous Host, the Apt is as on the pictures (very cozy and well furnished) and located very convenient in Piraeus to easily get to the Port and anywhere in Athens. I would definitely recommend and stay here again. Thank you Theo for your hospitality & generosity!!
Miriam2017-02-22T00:00:00ZEven if we stayed just one night, Theodore made everything he could to make us feel welcome; he has an uncle that lives in the apartment above and who waited for us late in the night; we found even cold water and a soft drink and...beer! in the fridge: a blessing when exhausted ! the apartment is recently redecorated , like in the pictures, and everything is well functioning; the beds are good ; the phonic isolation acceptable when windows closed; from the metro/harbor it's a 5 min taxi drive, 3,5-4 Euros. Theodore answered promptly at our calls and gave us all the informations we needed and ordered the cabs for us (sometimes it's difficult to spell streets name in Greek ...). Thank you Theodore for your kindness! Même si on a passé juste une nuit dans l' appt. de Theodore, il nous a fait nous sentir tout le temps les bienvenus; il a un oncle qui habite à l'étage supérieur et qui nous a attendu très tard dans la nuit; nous avons trouvé de l'eau, du jus, de la bière dans le frigo, une bénédiction quand on est fatigué! L' appt. a été récemment redécoré, avec gout, correspondant aux photos, tout est fonctionnel, les lits confortables, les produits usuels dans la salle de bains (pas relookée mais en bon état). Double vitrage assez efficace si bruit quand on ferme les fenêtres; le taxi au metro et port: 3,5-4 euros, 5 min. Theodore nous a répondu tout le temps au téléphone et nous a guidé et a même commandé les taxi pour nous (quand on a eu mal a se faire comprendre par les grecques...). Au total, une bonne experience, merci Theodore!
Luminita2016-09-03T00:00:00ZTheodore was great! He was very responsive and accommodating with our arrival. He took the time to bring us snacks to the apartment and call a cab in Greek to take us to the port in the morning. He was fantastic!
Bridgett2016-10-29T00:00:00ZTheo had been the most friendliest host I ever came across, he was very sweet and made sure we were well settled, The apartment is in a very safe area with lovely neighbours. It is only five minutes away from the Port in a cab, we had arrived at mid night and Theo was wide awake , ready to warmly welcome us, and helped us with getting to the airport the next day after our lovely rest at the apartment. The apartment itself is very modern and classy, like living in an apartment in New York :) Air conditioning in the bedroom and large living room were perfect. the apartment was very comfortable to live in and a large TV to watch if bored. Overall very lovely safe and convenient place to live in and a great host!
Mahrukh2016-09-15T00:00:00ZThank you!
Usman2016-08-31T00:00:00ZTheo est un très bon hôte. Il est venu nous chercher en voiture a 00:00 au port!! Il nous a laissé du vin ainsi que des petites choses à grignoter. Même si nous ne sommes restés qu'1 nuit, nous avons trouvé l'appartement très confortable et tres bien agencé! Nous recommandons.

Georginas house is perfectly located in Piraeus, on a hill top overlooking the whole of the Piraeus port and parts of Athens. The apartment was neat and tidy and everything looked fresh and modern. Georgina was a perfect host, and we felt very welcome and well taken care of throughout the whole stay. I can highly recommend this apartment and Georgina, and would very much like to stay there again.
Trude F 2016-10-15T00:00:00ZThe house is very nice located in quiet area on a top of a hill, with the bus stop, some restaurants and a shop nearby. House inside is cosy and modern. At the roof there is big terrace with amazing view of the Piraeus port. Georgina was amazing host, friendly and welcoming. Since the reservation she was very helpful and took care about us along all our stay. I can highly recommend this apartment. Next time in Athens I would like to stay there again.
Magdalena2016-10-27T00:00:00ZGeorgina is a great host. House has a spectacular view. It's very clean and modern. The beds were comfortable and the sheets were extremely clean. The house is better than the photos. Georgina left a full fridge from yoghurt to beer. It was unlucky of us that the weather was too cold in Athens and the a/c was not working. It could only be fixed on the third day. Water dripping to pharmacy store downstairs when we took shower was another frusturation. I must admit that Georgina did her best to confort us. I may stay again for the sake of her hospitality.
Serter2017-02-06T00:00:00ZThe pictures do not show how beautiful the view is! It's amazing to enjoy the sights from the rooftop - we were up there every night! Great place to stay and great hosts!
Rebekah2016-08-16T00:00:00ZAn amazing and helpful host who had stocked up the Fridge and provided plentiful towels. The apartment has a great terrace - useful if the weather is warm and sunny - with amazing views of the Port and Athens. Georgina was in constant contact to check on if we needed anything and very helpful in advising us on where to go around the Port. The apartment was very clean , modern and very comfortable.
Jatish2017-01-05T00:00:00ZFrom the minute that she accepted my Airbnb request Georgina was friendly and welcoming. She is even sweeter in person. And her family and friends are the nicest. I throughly enjoyed my stay at her house. The views are amazing. The house looks like the pictures. The neighbors are friendly. There are quite a few restaurants nearby. Bus stops are 1-2 min walk away. Uber to Athens is around 9€ each way. There is a bowling alley 5mins away that has a good cafe that has views of the water, city, and the hillside. This was my first time staying in an Airbnb. Georgina has set the bar very high for any other Airbnb places that I might stay at. I would stay there again when I return to Greece.

George war immer erreichbar und künmerte sich um unsere Wünsche und Bedürfnisse. Schon im Vorfeld reagierte er immer sofort auf Anfragen. Wir kamen nachts um 2.30 Uhr an und George empfing uns freundlich und zeigte uns noch die ganze Wohnung. Auch der Checkout war völlig unproblematisch. Wir mussten nur den Schlüssel hinterlassen und die Tür schließen. Die Lage der Wohnung ist sehr gut, sehr zentral, aber ganz ruhig. Sie ist sehr geräumig.Jedes Schlafzimmer hat einen Minibalkon. Das Beste aber ist die Dachterrasse. Sie ist so groß wie auf den Fotos, man kann dort herrlich sitzen und entspannen. Wir würden die Wohnung jedem weiterempfehlen.

This is good for anyone want to stay close to pireaus port. I shall definitely recommend anyone to stay
Mahesh2016-10-03T00:00:00ZI was pleasantly surprised at the standard of this accommodation. The apartment was spacious, clean, stylish, roomy and within walking distance from good restaurants and shopping areas . The apartment was well equipped and comfortable and the bedrooms air- conditioned. The owners were amazing, very friendly and helpful. They couldn't have been more sweet and giving of their time for us. They met all of our needs and went out of their way to ensure We would have left with a good impression. I could go on but suffice it to say I was very pleased with my stay, and wouldn't hestitate to book this apartment again.
Saiqa2016-08-04T00:00:00ZEverything about my family's experience here was amazing! We were greeted by the Mrs. Politis at the apartment and she kindly explained to us all that we needed to know about the apartment and commuting around Piraes/going into Athens' city centre. She and George were always available and helpful in answering any touristic questions, which really helped us out! The apartment itself is even more beautiful than the photos show it to be, and is very large. It is perfectly maintained and was so clean. The host even left us several snacks including biscuits, coffee, tea, etc. The view is lovely, of the city and part of the ocean. There is a beach only a ten minute walk from the apartment (which the hosts directed us to). There are also hop-on-hop-off bus stops a couple minutes walk from the apartment, which can take you to all the tourist attractions, including beaches and Athens city centre and historical monuments. We'll definitely be returning!
Caroline2016-07-26T00:00:00ZLovely apartment, a lot of space. Beautiful massive terrace. I been there with 3 friends all of us enjoyed stay in apartament. George is very kind and helpful person. I can recommend that place!

Wasteland 2 - Update #4, Interviews
March 21st, 2012, 21:54
Brian Fargo has posted a new Wasteland 2 update on Kickstarter as they approach $1.5M:
We are closing in on the funding for 1.5 million which will allow us to add both a Mac and Linux version of Wasteland 2 to the release. One of the (more common) questions I am asked is whether we'll support console and I believe it to be unlikely. It is imperative that we deliver the core PC experience that the fans are expecting here and I want to avoid any elements that could distract us. The console interface is quite different when you consider the input device and proximity to the screen whereas the Mac and Linux are pretty much identical to that of the "PC". We will consider a tablet version due to the similarity of the screen and interface but even on that we need to do a bit more research.He also proposes a "Kick it Forward" concept that is quite exciting:
But in order to help facilitate the power of crowd funding I am going to suggest that all of us that do utilize this form of financing agree to kickback 5% of our profits made from such projects to other Kickstarter developers. I am not suggesting taking a backers money and moving it to another project.. I mean once a game has shipped and created profit that we funnel that back into the community of developers to fund their dreams. I am tentatively calling this "Kick It Forward" and I will be the first to agree to it. In fact, I will have our artists create a badge that goes on all Kickstarter projects that agree to support this initiative. Imagine the potential if another Minecraft comes along via Kickstarter and produces millions of dollars of investment into other developers.By the way, for those holding back pledging because of the limited payment options, PayPal is coming:
PayPal support for #Wasteland2 is coming very soon for people without credit cards.Fargo has also penned interviews for Slacker Heroes and GameIndustry.biz:
<strong style="color: #999999;">Q: [/b]At $1 million, your budget is a small fraction of the cost of typical console or PC game development. What corners will you cut to be able to bring the game in at this price? Will the game be a much shorter experience, or the graphics less detailed, in order to keep costs down?More information.
Brian Fargo: We have a series of advantages in making this game for a reasonable budget. One large cost with making games these days are all of the cinematics that publishers spend on games, with costs that hit as much as $1.6 million per minute. Not only are they expensive, but they can cut down the options a player has in gameplay depending on design. We are also having a tremendous amount of pre-production done, such that all variables are nailed down at the start so that no cycles are wasted by designing on the fly.
We also save 20% plus in not having to prove to a publisher we know what we are doing or prepping for endless tradeshows. This sounds like a small thing, but developers have to halt production countless times for these things. Additionally, we will job out much of the art to keep our fixed overhead low. Wasteland 2 will be as big or bigger than Wasteland 1.
March 21st, 2012, 21:54
The 5% back to Kickstarter developers is genius! The application for such funds would have to follow a rigorous procedure to avoid fraud but it has such amazing potential to revolutionize the playing field even more than Kickstarter itself already has.
March 21st, 2012, 22:20
I like hearing about the 5% going back to other developers. Win lose or draw on the project itself, the kickback pledge will get attention. And hearing it won't be for consoles is just icing on the cake. I enjoy knowing that it will already be keyboard and mouse friendly.
March 21st, 2012, 22:38
I like the 5% thing too. I'm pretty sure that the whole kickstarter thing will deflate soon but such an initiative might be what it needs to keep going. It makes sense that indie developers will have a far better chance to stand up to the mainstream if they actively support each other.

Physio Therapy Centre

Haywards Heath
West Sussex

About me
Chris Lee BA(Hons) MBACP(Accred) UKRCP Reg Individual & Couple Counsellor
I am an accredited Person Centred Counsellor who trained at the Metanoia Institute and have been working with individuals and couples since 2000. Through the Person Centred approach my hope is that you will find me genuine, accepting and caring. I will attempt to accompany you on your journey of self-exploration, working at your pace and aiming to bring clarity to the issues that arise.
You may be concerned about making decisions, coping with crises and difficult transitions in your life or just want to develop insight and understanding about an issue. Or you may be experiencing bottled up feelings such as anger, anxiety, grief and shame which can become very intense. Counselling offers an opportunity to explore them, making them easier to understand with the possibility of change.
I also hold a certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This therapy aims to help a client identify negative and irrational thoughts which are causing anxiety and distress and effect emotions and behaviour. By replacing those thoughts with more realistic and self-helping mechanisms a client can bring about a change in how they see themselves and the world around them. My aim is always to make every effort to understand experiences from the clients point of view and to work collaboratively, exploring the clients thoughts, assumptions and inferences.
Counselling couples is an important part of my work. I believe that if a couple is experiencing difficulties in their relationship counselling can offer them a safe space to explore differences and enable them to have a clearer idea of their needs helping them to see the way forward. If a couple has reached the point when they view it is more beneficial to part, counselling can help to mediate this process in a healthy and respectful way.
My experience over the past 15 years has been gained in various settings including:
Marriage Care relationship/couple counselling
The Mulberry Centre - for cancer sufferers and their family members and the bereaved
Richmond Youth Counselling Service
Ealing Abbey Counselling Service
Metanoia Counselling & Psychotherapy Service

First Wal-Mart attempted to justify their poor wages, and now FOX News Andrea Tantaro tried to make light of a food stamp budget, joking that living off the average $4.30 a day would help her look "fabulous". When asked whether she could live off what a typical person on welfare receives, Tantaro quipped: "I should try it because, do you know how fabulous I'd look? I'd be so skinny. I mean, the camera adds ten pounds, it really does. I'd be looking great!"
No, Andrea. Just…just no. The fact that you can come off as so completely void of empathy and so out of touch is just sad.
Internet, can we get a collective face-palm tonight? Please?

Goals from Almen Abdi and Matej Vydra were enough to seal the win for the home side as Blues failed to make their mark on the encounter. In similar fashion to Tuesday's defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, a sloppy first-half again cost Blues. But, despite a much-improved second period, they had already left themselves too big a task.
*SEE HOW THE ACTION UNFOLDED THROUGH OUR LIVE BLOG HERE* Blues handed Nikola Zigic his first start of the season after the Serbian scored from the bench in two consecutive games, whilst Chelsea loanee Ben Gordon came in for his debut at the expense of an injured David Murphy. The left-back took a knock on his knee in a training session, so was not risked by Lee Clark and Wade Elliot dropped to the bench to accommodate Zigic. The Hornets were captained by former Blues defender Martin Taylor and recalled Lloyd Doyley and Chris Iwelumo at the expense of Lee Hodson and Joe Garner. Blues got off to the worst possible start as Watford were gifted a third-minute penalty. Daniel Pudil's left-footed strike was parried high by Jack Butland and as the ball dropped, skipper Steven Caldwell was adjudged to have leant into Matej Vydra by referee Keith Stroud. Butland guessed the right way but was unable to get close to Almen Abdi's precise spot-kick. The Hornets pressed early to try and double their advantage as Taylor headed straight at Butland and Abdi fired wide from 25 yards. Curtis Davies nodded an outswinging Burke corner wide as Blues looked to mount a comeback but in an open game, both sides passing was letting them down. The Hornets made the most of their good start by scoring a second in the 17th minute. A Chris Iwelumo lay-off was picked up by Mark Yeates and the former Colchester man slipped a good ball through to Vydra, who beat Butland with a composed finish. Yeates twice tried from range to notch a third for the hosts, but neither effort came close as Watford dominated the first-half possession. The Hornets' advancing full-backs were causing Blues problems and a left-wing cross from Pudil was nodded wide by Vydra, who found himself leaning backwards to make the contact. On the stroke of half-time, Burke cut inside and registered Blues' first shot on target, but Manuel Almunia made a comfortable save. As the second half begun, Blues seemed to have made a conscious effort to try and retain possession more and had an early opening when King flicked on to Zigic, but he was dispossessed by Nosworthy. The Hornets were seemingly stunned into action by that chance and Abdi nodded wide from a Murray cross at the second attempt. Zigic then attempted an effort from range, but it was comfortably held by Almunia and that proved to be the Serb's last contribution to the game. Blues boss Clark was evidently unimpressed by his side's second –half start and he replaced Zigic and Darren Ambrose with Morgaro Gomis and Peter Lovenkrands in the 56th minute. The Dane almost had an immediate impact as Burke flashed a ball across the face of the goal, but it just evaded the former Newcastle man. However, the visitors were looking much brighter and the higher tempo was creating chances. Hayden Mullins had a strike blocked by the commanding Nosworthy and after a sustained spell of pressure and a mazy run down the right, Burke stood a ball up that was cleared to Redmond only for the youngster to fire over from the edge of the area. The Blues pressure continued as clever interplay between Spector and Mullins set up Burke, but he could not wrap his foot around his curled effort and it floated just over the bar. After King was hauled down by Taylor, who was consequently booked, Burke floated a free-kick to the back post which evaded the Blues attack. However, Caldwell retrieved and delivered the ball back in for Davies to nod wide from around eight yards as a comeback goal continued to evade the visitors. Ravel Morrison replaced debutant Gordon to try and add some creativity, but it was too little, too late for Blues.

Pink Panther

Species | Panther |
Gender | Male |
The Pink Panther is the main and title character in the opening and closing credit sequences of every film in The Pink Panther series except for A Shot in the Dark and Inspector Clouseau. His popularity spawned a series of theatrical shorts, merchandise, a comic book, and television cartoons. He starred in 124 shorts (either theatrical or televised), 10 television shows and three prime time specials.
As of September 2007, the cartoons can be viewed on Boomerang, Voom HD Networks, MGM HD, Animania HD, Teletoon Retro, Hulu, This, and the full collection has been made available on DVD. As of October 2009, Cartoon Network had been running The Pink Panther Show weekdays at 12:30 PM/ET, however on December 18, 2009 Cartoon Network removed The Pink Panther from its lineup. Spanish-dubbed versions of Pink Panther cartoons also air on Monday, Tuesday and Friday late nights on Telemundo. As of 2010, Tooncast carries The Pink Panther Show with The Inspector and The Ant and the Aardvark.
DePatie-Freleng/United Artists cartoons
The animated Pink Panther character's initial appearance in the live action film's title sequence, directed by Friz Freleng, was such a success with audiences and United Artists that the studio signed Freleng and his DePatie-Freleng Enterprises studio to a multi-year contract for a series of Pink Panther theatrical cartoon shorts. The first entry in the series, 1964's The Pink Phink, (which was also his first appearance) featured the Panther harassing his foil, a little white moustached man who is actually a caricature of Friz Freleng (this character is officially known as "The Man"), by constantly trying to paint the little man's blue house pink. The Pink Phink won the 1964 Academy Award for Animated Short Film, and subsequent shorts in the series, usually featuring the Pink Panther opposite the little man, were successful releases.
In an early series of Pink Panther animated cartoons, the Pink Panther generally remained silent, speaking only in two theatrical shorts, Sink Pink and Pink Ice. Rich Little provided the Panther's voice in the latter shorts, modelling it on that of David Niven (who had portrayed Clouseau's jewel-thief nemesis in the original live-action film). Years later Little would overdub Niven's voice for Trail of the Pink Panther and Curse of the Pink Panther. All of the animated Pink Panther shorts utilized the distinctive jazzy theme music composed by Henry Mancini for the 1963 feature film, with additional scores composed by Walter Greene or William Lava.
The Pink Panther Show
In the fall of 1969, the Pink Panther cartoons made their way to NBC television shown Saturday mornings via The Pink Panther Show. NBC added a laugh track to the original cartoons, with Marvin Miller brought on as an off-camera narrator talking to the Pink Panther during bumper segments featuring the Pink Panther and The Inspector together.
Pink Panther shorts made after 1969 were produced for both broadcast and film release, typically appearing on television first, and released to theaters by United Artists. One version of the show was called The Think Pink Panther Show. A number of sister series joined The Pink Panther on movie screens and on the airwaves, among them The Ant and the Aardvark, The Tijuana Toads (a.k.a. The Texas Toads), Hoot Kloot, and Misterjaw (a.k.a. Mr. Jaws and Catfish). There were also a series of animated shorts called The Inspector, with the bumbling Clouseau inspired Inspector and his Spanish-speaking sidekick Sgt. Deux-Deux, whom the Inspector is forever correcting. ("Deux" is French for "two," meaning the little man's name is both a pun and a play on words, "two" appearing twice in the name.) Other DePatie-Freleng series included Roland and Rattfink, The Dogfather (a Godfather pastiche), with a canine Corleone family and two Tijuana Toads spinoffs, The Blue Racer and Crazylegs Crane.
In 1976, the half-hour series was revamped into a 90-minute format, as The Pink Panther Laugh and a Half Hour and a Half Show; this version included a live-action segment, where the show's host, comedian Lenny Schultz, would read letters and jokes from viewers. This version flopped, and would change back to the original half-hour version in 1977. In 1978, after nine years on NBC, The Pink Panther moved to ABC, where it lasted one season before leaving the network realm entirely. The ABC version of the series featured sixteen episodes with 32 new Pink Panther cartoons, and 16 of Crazylegs Crane. The 32 new Pink Panther cartoons were eventually released to theaters by United Artists.
Comic book
In 1971, Gold Key Comics began publishing a Pink Panther comic book, with art by Warren Tufts. The Pink Panther and the Inspector lasted 87 issues, ending only when Gold Key ceased operations in 1984. The spinoff series The Inspector (also from Gold Key) lasted 19 issues, from 1974 to 1978.
Later television shows and specials
During the final years of the Panther's theatrical run, DePatie-Freleng produced a series of three primetime Pink Panther television specials for ABC. The first was 1978's A Pink Christmas. It featured the cool cat in New York being cold and hungry looking for a juicy holiday dinner. The other two specials premiered on ABC after the shorts officially ended in theaters, 1980's Olym-Pinks and 1981's Pink at First Sight. In November of late 2007, the three specials were released on a single disc DVD collection, The Pink Panther: A Pink Christmas from MGM Home Entertainment/20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.
The studio was sold to Marvel Comics in 1981, and became Marvel Productions. In 1984, the Pink Panther was licensed to produced the short-lived Saturday morning series, Pink Panther and Sons in which the still-silent Pink Panther was given two talking sons, Pinky and Panky. Yet another new series of cartoons, called The Pink Panther, produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Animation, premiered in syndication in 1993, and had the Pink Panther speaking with the voice of Matt Frewer (of Max Headroom fame). Unlike the original shorts, not all episode titles contained the word "pink," although many instead contained the word "panther."
In July 2007, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. and Jordan's Rubicon animation company began co-production of the animated series Pink Panther and Pals portraying a teenaged panther and his friends. The 26 episode TV series premiered worldwide in Fall 2009 on Cartoon Network. After acquiring United Artists in the early 1980s, MGM continues to own the ancillary rights and trademarks to the Pink Panther franchise today. The German television version which started airing in 1973 in ZDF, was presented in 30-minute episodes, composed of one Pink Panther cartoon, one episode of The Inspector and one episode of The Ant and the Aardvark. Most notably, the difference between the German and the English version of The Pink Panther is a rhymed narration in the German version (spoken by voice actor Gert Günther Hoffmann), commenting and describing the plot. For this show, custom intro and end sequences were cut together from existing pieces of animation.
Comic strip
A Pink Panther comic strip was started in 2005. It was written and illustrated by Eric and Bill Teitelbaum, who also create Bottom Liners. It is distributed by Tribune Media Services.

- Japanese Pop/R&B singer Namie Amuro, who is a fan of the cartoon, uses him as the theme of her album cover art for her album Queen of Hip-Pop. A special character the "Namie Panther" based on Amuro herself was also created as a counterpart to the Pink Panther. Both characters were heavily featured in her music video for her promotional single "WoWa." Because of the Pink Panther deal, all of the material released for the album had been pink. First pressing packaging of the album included Pink Panther stickers and a Pink Panther styled newspaper containing lyrics for the album.
- In Spain, a Pantera Rosa cake is sold. It is coated in pink.
- In the Family Guy episode Halloween on Spooner Street, after Brian is spray painted pink, the Pink Panther walks up and asks Brian if this is his first day pink. Upon Brian's reply, the Pink Panther says, "Welcome to Hell."

the chihuahua breed is known to have the knee condition known as patellar luxation and is one of the most common health problems associated with chihuahuas. the knee is a complex structure consisting of muscles, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and bones. these components must align properly and interact harmoniously in order to function properly. three bones are included in the knee: the femur, the tibia, and the patella (kneecap).
the lower front portion of the femur (thigh bone) in a normal chihuahua has two bony ridges that form a fairly deep groove in which the patella is supposed to slide up and down. these structures limit the patella's movement to one restricted place, and in doing so, control the activity of the quadriceps muscle. the entire system is constantly lubricated by joint fluid. it works so that there is total freedom of motion between the structures.
diagram of the anatomy of a normal knee cap
patellar luxation (or trick knee, subluxation of patella, or floating patella), occurs when the patella, or kneecap, dislocates or moves out of its normal location.
when the patella is luxated in a chihuahua, the ridges forming the patellar groove are not prominent, and a too-shallow groove is created. in a chihuahua with shallow grooves, the patella will luxate (jump out of the groove) sideways, especially toward the inside. this can causes the leg to 'lock up' with the foot held off the ground.
chihuahua with a luxating patella on both hind legs
(like teaka the famous chihuahua has as seen in the video above)
when the patella luxates from the groove of the femur, it usually cannot return to its normal position until the quadriceps muscle relaxes and increases in length. this is why a chihuahua may be forced to hold their leg up for a few minutes after this occurs because the muscles are contracted, the patella is luxated from its correct position and the joint is held in a flexed or bent position. pain is caused by the knee cap sliding across the bony ridges of the femur.
patellar luxation in chihuahuas can have both genetic causes, or environmental causes (luxation due to injury). if it appears at an early age, it's likely to be due to genetic causes. environmental sources of injury can include too much jumping (i.e. jumping off furniture), or too much stress on the patella and surrounding ligaments (ie. when a chihuahua dances on its rear legs). this is especially dangerous when a chihuahua is a puppy in stages of early development.
adult chihuahuas can also damage their kneecap by a forceful hit or blow. with age, looseness might also be recognized, especially in chihuahuas that are overweight as there is constant pressure on surrounding ligaments.
symptoms of patellar luxation includes skipping, yelping when in pain, holding the rear leg up for a short time as they walk or run or rear-leg weakness. if left uncorrected, the condition will result in serious wear of the patellar ridges where the groove becomes very shallow resulting in both arthritis and in the more serious cases, permanent crippling.
if your chihuahua does have patellar luxation, see your veterinarian for options to help alleviate symptoms. the use of supplements such as glucosamine may be helpful and it's recommended that you keep your chihuahua lean and exercised to keep the leg muscles strong.
depending on how severe the condition is, it may or may not require surgery. if required, your chihuahua will recover quickly with complete recovery in as early as thirty days. breeding chihuahuas with this disorder is not recommended. chihuahuas affected still make for wonderful pets and those that do require surgery usually lead perfectly normal lives without any restrictions on activity.
