How can I get my baby to take a bottle?
My 4-month-old breastfed baby won't take a bottle. I've tried every bottle and nipple there is. When I leave her with a babysitter, she won't eat until I get back, and she cries and cries because she's hungry. I feel like I'll never be able to leave her anywhere again. What should I do?

Hi Krystel,
As a mother of 5, I understand how there are times when caring for your baby just seems all consuming, and you may truly need a break. I also understand that infants truly need the closeness of mum nearly all the time. God created the breastfeeding relationship to remind both mum and bub that they need that bonding time. Bub has a need to eat, and mum's breasts will have a let-down and start leaking if she goes too long without feeding. It's a beautiful, symbiotic relationship, that creates a mother/child relationship that is like no other.
So what's a mum to do when she needs a break? The easiest thing for mum AND bub is to make those breaks last no more than about 2 hours. If you want to go to a movie with your husband, then it's just a movie. If you want to go to dinner or to lunch, then it's just out to dinner or lunch, but not a movie and dinner. If you want to go shopping without baby in tow, then have lunch before you go, put baby down for a nap, and then go shopping, returning before it's time to feed again.
Being a mother has brought many changes into your life, and one of those is that you simply can't come and go as you used to... or you may not be able to stay away for as long as you used to.
I took my children with me everywhere and I didn't use babysitters. I do remember leaving my first baby with my Aunt once, for more than 3 hours, and she was miserable. She would not eat, and she could not be consoled. That was my first child, and I quickly realized that I couldn't be away from her longer than about 2 hours (for feeding) and I also realized that it was just easier to keep her with me.
So that's what I did - I took her everywhere. Sometimes in the front pack, sometimes in the back pack. Sometimes I took the swing with me and she would sleep in the swing. Sometimes I took a pack-n-play and put her in there. Often I would take her little clip-on chair to restaurants and she would sit at the table with me. She learned how to be quiet and we regularly received compliments on how well behaved she was. I did this with all of my children and received compliments on all of them.
Taking them with me wherever I went taught them how to be respectful of others, and none of my children ever had any separation anxiety issues once I realized the trauma those separations caused my first child.
Your daughter obviously prefers being close to you and having the warm, soft skin/nipple in her mouth, as compared to a cold, hard, silicone nipple.
I would encourage you to be patient during these few months and enjoy your breastfeeding experience. Many babies will actually come to prefer the bottle and reject breastfeeding, which then leaves mum feeling like she should have done something differently. In fact this happened with a friend just a few months ago. She left her daughter so often that her daughter started preferring the bottle and rejected mum. This meant that in order for mum to keep her milk supply up for her baby, she had to pump more often, which she didn't do... and eventually her milk dried up. It was a sad time for her.
Your daughter's need to be fully breastfed won't last much longer. Many babies start to eat solids around 6 months of age, and as they do, their need for breast milk is reduced. Breast milk will be the primary food until baby is 1 year of age, but even at 1 year of age, you will not be breastfeeding as much as you are now, which means you will be able to go out for longer periods of time without needing to be back to feed your baby.
I would highly suggest that you look at these next few months as a precious gift that is only for a time. If you give your daughter the closeness and all the feeds she needs now, your relationship with her will be stronger later.
I hope this helps. I greatly enjoyed my breastfeeding years, and now they are gone. I miss them but am so thankful for the time I had, with a little one at the breast. Nobody else can nourish and nurture your baby like you.
Warm Regards,

Thank you so much for taking time on my concern. Your advice made me feel that my baby greatly depends on me to survive which is such a wonderful feeling!

You are most welcome Please post anytime you have a question or just need an encouraging word!

Oh - and another great way to have some quiet time is to have a babysitter come to your home and watch your baby while you take a nap, read a book, relax in the tub... You might get a good 2-3 hours of "alone time" while still being close enough for baby if she needs to feed.

What wonderful advice from Kate. My youngest boy turns 1 in a couple of weeks and recently I have noticed how he has often gone many hours without breastmilk - this was unheard of when he was a new baby and it makes me ache a little for those early days again. Of course, he is a wonderful, energetic, cheeky boy (who is still feeding around every 4/5 hours) but it is not the same as the early days. Do as Kate has described and wallow in the undivided attention of your little baby feeding at your breast. It's time well-spent for sure!
I know it feels now like you will never have a break but that time will come. How much better, when it does arrive, to be able to look back at your early days with happy memories of hours of breastfeeding bonding. Knowing that you gave your baby just what she needs. I personally feel there is too much of a push in today's world to get the baby onto the next stage and this can have a negative impact on mum and baby's bonding and attachment.
I have found babywearing (wearing my baby in a sling for a significant time each day) excellent for giving me a 'break' each day. I can feed with him in the sling, he can sleep in the sling, I have my hands free.....it's great I really like Kate's idea of having a babysitter come round whilst you pop upstairs for some 'me time' too.
Warm wishes to you and your bubba,

Thank you LJ. I agree, mothers do really need a "me time" to balance things out.

Brick-loving kids will be bowled over by designer Dave DeGobbi's new Lego concept, Crawler Town. The story of Crawler Town begins with an end… the inhabitants of this steam-punk world have exploited the earth's natural resources and can only find life's simple luxuries "like pizza, fresh vegetables and beer" while vacationing at moving structures like Crawler Town. Yes, the environmental lesson this toy teaches is a pretty dark one (it's best suited for older kids) but in all of this, forced by necessity, the townspeople have figured out a more energy efficient means of survival.
Vehicles in Crawler Town are powered by hydrogen cells, and solar panels and wind turbines play prominent roles in the town's infrastructure. The town's mobile design is such that it allows access to what limited resources still exist.
In executing the project, DeGobbi realized the Crawler Town was quickly evolving from a purely steam-punk aesthetic to something more environmentally grand, "a roaming city where self sustainability and eco efficiency became the theme." Naturally this begged for a new designation, so Crawler Town falls under what Dave calls "Eco-punk," and there's no doubt that this city rocks.

This concept was developed in one of the Alastair Reynolds novels. A religious cult spurred the development of mobile cathedral cities built to slowly circle a moon, so that its gas giant would be visible 24/7. The holiest men would watch it day and night, using drugs to avoid sleep.
I love this crawler town. Cool message but even cooler design. This would have made my life at 10 years old.

In an era of school shootings, hanging out with the men and women dedicated to keeping schools safe is especially comforting.
Flanked by three members of the Orange County sheriff's School Mobile Assessment Resource Team – SMART – Sgt. Nancy Wilkey tells me firmly, "We can't prevent an incident, but we are truly prepared for anything that happens."
Wilkey is being frank. She's also being modest. Her team – which includes armed deputies in schools – monitors students, investigates threats and prevents plenty of threats from escalating.
Now, in the aftermath of Newtown, the team also is in the process of changing school safety tactics.
After careful examination of school tragedies, including Columbine and Virginia Tech, Wilkey's team is poised to train teachers and children to replace "hide and hope" with "flight and fight."
Classroom flagpoles are no longer just for flags.
• • •
Sheriff Sandra Hutchens describes her department's school shooting strategy as "sophisticated, integrated." It includes such specialty units as SWAT, the Critical Incident Response Team, SMART and deputies in schools known as school resource officers, or SROs.
Think of SROs as the first line of defense. Hutchins explains, "SROs work in partnership with school administrators on ongoing student trends, problems at schools and efforts to provide appropriate services."
The second line of defense is SMART. Hutchins says that SMART gets involved with "incidents related to violence, threats, weapons, unstable behaviors and suicidal actions or tendencies."
Wilkey calls the active presence of deputies in schools one of the most significant deterrents to violence. Over a period of years, she says, students have toned things down because they know that law enforcement in Orange County gets involved when there are problems.
Both SRO and SMART officers talk directly to students – and parents. Counseling is sometimes suggested. And things go no farther – usually.
• • •
I walk into Wilkey's office at the sheriff's substation in Aliso Viejo. It's scattered with guns.
Rifles lean against a wall. One looks like an AK-47. Handguns spill out of a large plastic box. One resembles an Uzi, another a Glock.
Each one has been confiscated on school campuses. But contrary to some rumors I've heard, these aren't real guns. These are Airsoft guns, spring-loaded and limited to shooting plastic pellets.
In the last year, deputies recall confiscating only one real gun. Still, so-called toy guns are prohibited at schools for very good reasons. They look real. And they can get you killed.
During a round-table discussion, Deputy Doug Claypool says that with movement, shadows and distance, it's extremely difficult to determine if someone's carrying a fake or real gun. With his voice trailing off, he says, "If I ever ... I couldn't live with myself."
The deputy's words are a reminder of what law enforcement faces daily: Sorting through the rumor mill, determining what's real and what isn't.
Making things more difficult is that reality is often distorted as it's digitally and instantly shared. Suddenly, a school exercise morphs into texts that someone's carrying a weapon.
• • •
Along with talking to SMART personnel, I've spent time with deputies at several high schools. The impact of ever-changing trends in social media is always an eye-opener.
As Deputy D. Braham puts it: "There are more ways to communicate." Specifically, he's talking about what he calls "character assassination."
Braham explains the proliferation of mobile devices makes the olden days of MySpace seem tame. Now, there's a variety of mobile devices as well as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram photos, texting ...
The deputy reports students use smartphones to "rant and rave. It's all anonymous. No one's accountable."
Investigator Mark Stichter elaborates, saying many students don't understand the consequences of threats: Virtual fights can turn very real.
Sure, most students' texts are mere bravado. But some aren't. The challenge for SMART personnel is separating digital grandstanding from what law enforcement personnel calls a "credible threat."
A typical day includes at least two to three incidents that require SMART to roll. And the students involved are younger than ever.
• • •
How young are children who threaten others? The deputies agree children start as young as second grade.
Claypool reports it's not uncommon for a child in elementary school to say to another child, "I'm gonna get a gun and shoot you."
But Claypool quickly adds such words don't necessarily mean a child intends to carry out the threat. He blames the escalation of empty threats on video war games such as "Call of Duty." And he says many parents remain unaware of the level of violence in such games.
While the SMART deputies agree video games don't turn children into killers, they caution that violent movies, television shows and games do create a culture of easy threats.
Wilkey says parents should monitor children when they're on the computer, using a tablet, or handling a smartphone.
I explain that in my own family we gave up after elementary school from keeping my son away from video games. He just played the games at friends' homes.
The sergeant nods. Then she offers a series of ways parents can track digital usage: Control passwords, monitor history, use key search programs, put computers in public places such as the kitchen.
"If you suspect something's going on," Wilkey advises, "validate your concerns first. Then hold children accountable."
Stichter points out that the parents of the Columbine shooters only had a vague knowledge of the shooters' journals and self-made videos.
Braham, a father, goes so far as to say that children appreciate attention – deep down. "Start monitoring early so they expect it."
• • •
Should the once-unthinkable happen, Wilkey explains that clusters of bodies at Newtown showed that locking classroom doors and hiding isn't enough. Teachers and students need to add fighting to their arsenal.
Why not just arm teachers?
The deputies squint at me quizzically. Then they explain how much training is necessary to ensure a safe and effective armed response.
For students and teachers, fighting means throwing books, laptops, chairs – anything available – when a shooter approaches. The idea isn't as crazy as it sounds. Wilkey says studies show school shooters prefer the path of least resistance.
Wilkey's team isn't alone. At a conference this month in Las Vegas, school officials reported that the average school shooting lasts 12 minutes – not enough time for law enforcement to arrive and secure a situation. Experts agreed hiding quietly in a corner makes students vulnerable. One called the new tactic, "throw and go."
Wilkey asks bluntly, "If you're in a fight for your life, why not fight?"
A good question from an expert.

Breast feeding
Hi, I have a 2 month old baby boy and I have been breastfeeding him since he came out last June. I am getting back to work for the next 2 weeks and I wonder if it would be okay to mix his feedings?
13th August 2012 10:10 AM #2
Hi Fran,
Congratulations on your new baby!
Are you are asking if it would be okay to offer formula at some feedings and breastmilk at other feedings?
If this is your question, then I'd have to say it's a personal decision that you need to make. Once you offer him a bottle nipple, you could find that he prefers the bottle and refuses the breast. I'm hoping this won't happen, as he may continue to breastfeed at night and on the weekends, when you are home with him, but it could happen.
It is always best for baby to take as much breast milk as possible, but if you can't pump enough for him to only take breast milk, then you will need to offer formula. You may find that he gets constipated on the formula though, so just keep a look out for that.
Please post back and let me know if that answered your question or if you have more questions. I'm not sure if I understood your question correctly.
Warm regards,

Yes, you did. I understand the importance of breast feeding to infants. Thank you so much.

Please feel free to post back anytime you have questions. As your son grows and as your breastfeeding relationship changes, you may have more questions.

Congratulations fmadrigal for making a choice to breastfeed your baby for some woman don't consider it for the sake of beauty interest but you did a great job of doing what is right. One thing to learn about breastfeeding is that babies are less sickly compared to bottle feed and in fact there is a slogan nowadays saying: "Breastfeed is for babies, cows milk is for cow."

I am ATM about 2 years into the development of my personal dream/pet game project, and now that I have met the major design goals I had at the outset I have run into a wall as to how far I should push the games complexity.
First off - Design Touchstones:
1 - I wanted a game were you truly created the ships in your fleet...That means being able to roughly recreate essentially any ship in sci-fi history should you choose.
2 - In turn I wanted the freedom to truly tear ships apart, not go to pre arranged chunks (ala Gratuitous Space Battles).
3 - For simplicity sake(and my lack of skill were 3d is concerned) this a 2d overhead type game.
Lofty goals to be sure, especially since my programming experience had stopped about 15 years prior playing with Borland 3.0 for DOS. To make matters worse, I decided the game would be targeted at tablets with their comparatively puny resources.
So to reiterate, I have an incomplete game were you can design, build and destroy ships....It's pretty fun as the pure sandbox experiment it is now... But Where to Go From Here?
I found myself scratching my head. This is not a complete game yet by a wide margin. My personal circle of space RTS games extends from Master of Orion series to Homeworld and Sins of a Solar Empire. Its got to be 4x or go home!
Large scale map experiments have been only mildly successful to date given both play speed and processing requirements. Exactly how long is someone going to sit and play on their tablet?.. Certainly not the length of a large scale SINS or Orion game. I have experimented with gravity wells ala SINS and trying to implement a jump/hyperspace system, but being able to issue the command quickly on a touch pad proved cumbersome...ideas?
I find seemingly simple decisions like resource gathering and management setups have to be looked at in a new light in terms of how much direct interaction is safe to ask the players for...To say nothing about acquiring new tech and build tree options...Thoughts?
Planet capture and orbital structures - Do I make these absolutely minimal as to only show ownership of a planet , or do I allow for complex infrastructure the player has to maintain? How much cpu time am I willing to put aside for this? Hmmmm
UI - How many buttons and tabs can I really make use of before the screen becomes over cluttered? Many strategy games have died on poor UI...
One solution seems to be to make large scale usage of fleet behavior, thus removing the need to control too many individual ships.
Another method though that popped into my head of late is to allow multiple devices per game session. I'm not talking about multiplayer here, I mean using both a phone and two tablets and perhaps a PC all in a single session with control and monitoring interfaces distributed across and communicating over local network. (Picture Supreme Commander's multi monitor mode taken into separate devices). The extra displays would have a selection of dedicated interface mode options such as strategic view, full interface, Ships/fleet status readouts, research UI , economic readout and so forth. I am confident I can make this happen, but is it even a good idea?
Trying to squeeze a 4x RTS onto tablets has proven to be very delicate balancing act between UI and expected play time share. The existing games on the mobile markets all had to make generous concessions to the medium. Most of the time(for me personally) this made them not worth large amounts of play time and indeed, their designs seemed to encourage this. This is not how I want my game to be, but If I ever want to succeed in any commercial form I may have to set aside my own preferences.
I thank you if you are still reading this, two years in and I have spent the last few weeks staring blankly at my IDE hoping for some inspiration... Any thoughts on the subject matter or over my ranting welcome. I decided to post this here on this community because reading over the threads I see many good minds and genuine peer design sprit. I look forward to discussing the genre and design merits of any such game.
If anyone cares, here is some test footage running on PC - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEpr--Rti1A

In 2004, Mitch Landrieu, then lieutenant governor, launched the Cultural Economy initiative in Louisiana.
"Driving the movement is Louisiana's deeply rooted authentic culture," said George Swift, president/CEO of the Southwest Louisiana Economic Development Alliance.
Swift said the aim of the initiative is to improve the lives of Louisiana residents and create jobs through Louisiana's music, food, film, architecture, art and other cultural industries.
The alliance, the city of Lake Charles, the Arts and Humanities Council and the Southwest Louisiana Convention & Visitors Bureau will come together Thursday to host the symposium "The Business of Art: Developing Cultural Economies."
The event will be 11:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. in the Contraband Room at the Civic Center. Admission is $10, lunch included.
"This is an effort to target the cultural segment and diversify our economy," Swift said. "The aim of the symposium is to connect the business community with the arts community and to get people talking about ways to weave local creative economy workers into their businesses.
"Businesses that display local art in their reception areas and host events featuring local artists and performers breathe a new energy into the community and their clientele."
Since the most recent study in 2010, Swift said he has noticed 148,500 people in Louisiana's workforce are cultural economy workers — or 7 percent of the state's workforce.
"Investing in our cultural economy gives our economy a boost and has shown real results statewide and locally in our communities," Swift said. "Southwest Louisiana and Lake Charles are wise to have such an active interest in the movement."
He said the city of Lake Charles has already invested millions in public spaces such as parks, the boardwalk and Ryan Street, giving downtown and the lakefront a much needed boost of energy.
"As further examples, Sulphur and DeRidder have also made investments in parks and common areas," he said.
Symposium attendees will hear remarks from keynote speaker Malcolm White, executive director of the Mississippi Arts Commission. Swift said White is a dynamic personality and speaker and an accomplished businessman.
"Following Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi, he played an instrumental role in the cultural rebuilding of the Gulf Coast communities by creating and composing new possibilities for artists and arts institutions in Mississippi's lower six counties," Swift said.
Other speakers will be Pam Breaux, assistant secretary with the state's Office of Cultural Development, and Mayor Randy Roach.
Swift said he looks forward to a day brimming with energy and ideas from the community fueled by stories and experience from the featured speakers and panelists.

kudos to AD Pat Haden in doing the right thing and ending the "Lane Kiffin experience"...Haden realizes that the USC brand is still very viable, despite the damage that the Pete Carroll regime left amid the Reggie Bush fiasco..Haden also realizes that he needs to find a coach who can resurrect that program before Texas grabs them as their head coach
tim and metal,
the defenses at georgia and lsu are down from last year, as it is doubtful 25% of the first round of the next nfl draft will come from thse two defenses as it did last year. that said, i imagine the top two nfl type drop back passers in this year's draft did play in that game, in addition to three first round recievers and a sluice of nfl running backs.(i hope gurley is ok) the offenses are UP at georgia and lsu. these two quarterbacks are sensational and woulda hung 100 on wisconsin.
note: lsu did look gashable in defending the run in the first half.
that was another great aggie razorback game. an old swc classic!
not withstanding my feelings about lane kiffin, usc is playing with both hands tied behind its back. i am amazed how well penn state seems to do with these oppressions./sanctions.

Penn State has a pretty solid head coach. USC did not. They may look to steal Sark away from Washington at the end of the season according to some.
My guess is Jack Del Rio from the Broncos
The back from AZ, Carey, had a very good game in a losing cause against the Huskies. Looked like one of those SEC backs the homers on this thread like to tout .
Marvin S
Everyone's friend is No One's friend
Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
Haden may have someone in mind already, just repeating that Sark's name came up, along with Delrio. Chuckie has NFL ties!
He seemingly would be a great fit at SC and would probably put them back up to prominence.
im a Gator fan but loved watching the Pete Carroll SC teams and i think Chuckie would bring back that same type of swagger those trojan teams had.

There may or may not be any NBA action this season, but college b-ball is on.
That Carrier Classic game in San Diego looked awesome! (especially the clouds and cityline behind) Both Ohio State and Pitt have easy opening wins. Last weekend, UCLA barely beat a scrappy Div. II Cal. State San Bernardino team (almost, 'Yotes! ).

Panel looks at identity issues, Feb. 22
Posted February 12, 2006; 01:47 p.m.
A panel discussion on "Injustice, Intolerance and Intersectional
Identity" is set for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 22, in 101 McCormick.
Led by Kwame Anthony Appiah, the Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Philosophy and the University Center for Human Values, the discussion will explore the roles of the media, the police and the public in normalizing violence against individuals who are at the intersection of marginal identity categories.
Appiah will be joined by Clarence Patton of the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs and Rashad Robinson of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation in analyzing how intersectional identity informs the management of hate crimes in America.
The discussion will draw primarily upon the unsolved murder of 19-year-old Rashawn Brazell, a black gay man from Brooklyn whose dismembered body parts were found in garbage bags throughout the borough's subways in February 2005. Desire Brazell, his mother, will make the opening remarks.
Appiah is an internationally renowned scholar of moral and political philosophy, African and African-American studies, and issues of personal and political identity, multiculturalism and nationalism. He has written numerous award-winning books, including "The Ethics of Identity" and "Color Conscious: The Political Morality of Race."
The event is sponsored by the Program in African American Studies, the Black Graduate Caucus, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Center, the Graduate School, the Fields Center, the Black Student Union and the Queer Graduate Caucus.

I dutifully scribbled down this serious wisdom and then headed into the interactive exhibition. "CSI: The Experience" immerses visitors in the world of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, which premiered in 2000, and its two spinoffs, which routinely rank among the top 20 most-watched shows on television. So you surely know that they feature the sleuthing of fictional police forensic scientists, among them Mr. Grissom (played by William Petersen).
The TV show taps into our infatuation with crime, gore and mysteries, as well as our craving for justice and punishment. "CSI: The Experience," which was developed by the Fort Worth Museum of Science with support from the CBS corporation and CSI television folks, aims to promote "critical thinking skills" and teach us about forensic science, "where science meets the law." But it's really about the thrill of playing a TV crimefighter, with the requisite cheesy quips, ludicrously convoluted trails of clues, and stock characters: the ne'er-do-well twin brother, the disgruntled ex-wife, the runaway turned aspiring actress, the jealous gal pal, the loyal dog. It's campy fun, like playing Clue, but with more digital gore. It flatters our couch-potato conviction that, given the chance, we could sniff out clues as diligently as any real-life Sherlock.
Choose one of three simulated crime scenes for study. A House Collided has a car crashed into a living room with a dead dude slumped behind the wheel. Who Got Served? presents a woman lying dead and run over in an alley behind a motel. No Bones About It offers a skeleton with a suspicious hole in its forehead lying in a shallow grave in a desert.
Touch-screen computers, microscopes, and hands-on comparison charts help you analyze fingerprints, blood-spatter patterns, blood-alcohol levels, blowflies buzzing around a corpse, bullets, hair, seeds, dental records, and DNA. In specially shot videos, characters from the TV show explain stuff. Special effects make it appear that corpses are being sliced and diced during autopsies — with cool grisly squishy sound effects.
New York sculptor Tom Sachs's "Logjam," organized by the Des Moines Art Center and now at Brandeis's Rose Art Museum, is a shrine to the DIY ethos. In past exhibits, Sachs has razzed corporate and government power by building a model Nazi death camp from Prada boxes, a "Chanel" guillotine, the US presidential seal, McDonald's stock certificates, and a prison cell door made from swiped wooden police barricades. Here, his subjects are devoted to the essential nature of his craft — a combo of reverse engineering, crackpot inventing, hobby modeling, woodshop tinkering, and car customizing.

|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Dble Haul
Quentin, thanks for the feedback on the piker blonde...good to hear it works, and glad you were able to get some fishing in.
Pete, what can I say? If the fish up your way talk trash like that, I might not wanna come! :hehe:
Good one Pete! How big is that fish?
Great report Mark. Sounds like you guys had some decent fishing even if the big ones didn't cooperate. Wish I could have made the trip down -- Maybe next year???
I did manage to get out and chase some local pike but didn't have much success. I decided to try each of the pike swap flies until I caught something on it. Well, the fish didn't want to play that game so I just switched to a new fly every half hour or so. Mark's Piker Blonde was the only fly that fooled a pike, a scrappy 22"er that came off the hook at the boat. Another fish of about the same size followed my yellow rabbit strip fly but didn't hit. That was it for pike sightings. I also caught a few monster yellow perch on a woolly bugger.
|Mark, your 4 wt pike set up is not a good idea up here! I'll try to snoop for some bigger critters, season starts May 8 up here, but my guess is that I'll stay with the 9 wt rig.
And a bit of photo journalism ....
..to go with Marks excellent report
Mark, thanks for a great day! Much as I love fishing from the Kayak, it was very nice to travel the river in style

Pike Clave III report
Our third annual pike clave turned out to be held on a single boat. A few members had to cancel in the week leading up to the event, so Adrian and I went out to try and harass some fish.
Our timing on the water coincided with a few hours before low tide; there's about two feet worth of tidal influence on the CT River as far north as we were, so some pike areas were not quite accessible from the start. We tried a few of my early season striper spots with no dice. We then started our search for pike and began to see them here and there, honest 30" plus fish. But the bigger fish were not interested in what we were casting.
We ended up in a very much out of the way backwater channel and started to catch a mixed bag of fish.....largemouth bass, yellow perch, sunfish, crappie, and yes, even some small pike. This particular area held the most active fish of the day, probably because of water temperature. We tried a few other spots, and although there were some follows and short strikes from bigger pike, we only landed smaller fish.
It was interesting to note that both pike hooked by Adrian were caught on a small clouser that he was using trying to dupe some of the smaller species. And a crappie that he caught was enormous....an honest 12 or 13", and well over a pound in weight. Adrian, don't expect me to be able to call a shot like that again any time soon.
All in all it was a fine day, if not a bit on the cold and windy side. I had a blast fishing with Adrian and very much look forward to the next time we hook up.
Coming next spring....Pike Clave IV.
Oh, and Pete....I'm ready for some bigger pike.

Splinter hemorrhages are small areas of bleeding (hemorrhage) under the fingernails or toenails.
Fingernail hemorrhage
Splinter hemorrhages look like thin, red to reddish-brown lines of blood under the nails. They run in the direction of nail growth.
They are named splinter hemorrhages because they look like a splinter under the fingernail. The hemorrhages may be caused by tiny clots that damage the small capillaries under the nails.
Splinter hemorrhages can occur with infection of the heart valves (
There is no specific care for splinter hemorrhages. Follow your health care provider's instructions for treating endocarditis.
Contact your health care provider if:
Note: Splinter hemorrhages usually appear late in endocarditis. Likely other symptoms will cause you to visit your health care provider before splinter hemorrhages appear.
Your health care provider will examine you to determine the cause of splinter hemorrhages. The health care provider may ask you the following medical history questions:
Physical examination may include special attention to the heart and blood circulation systems.
Laboratory studies may include:
In addition, your health care provider may order:
After seeing your health care provider, you may want to add a diagnosis of splinter hemorrhages to your personal medical record.

Compress that for me, please
So, if you are in a habit of analyze lists and tree structures like code, and like pattern matching, you may end up writing ton's of code like.
(def sum-of-leaves ((X . L) (+ (sum-of-leaves X) (sum-of-leaves L))) (() 0) ( X X))
e.g. if you have a list sum the first and the sum of rest the empty list yields 0 and all non list elements -the leaves, assumed numbers - end up being just counted as the value they represent.
So how should we code this destruction into a primitive lang? One idea I used is to work with the guile VM directly and use a few extra primitives there.
So consider destructuring
(define (f A) (match A ((X 'a (X . L) . U) (list X L U) ...)
we could do this with a stack machine like,
(push A) ;; Stack -> (A) (explode-cons) ;; Stack -> ((car A) (cdr A)) (set X) ;; Stack -> ((cdr A)) (explode-cons) ;; Stack -> ((cadr A) (cddr A)) (match-eq? 'a) ;; Stack -> ((cddr A)) (explode-cons) ;; Stack -> ((caddr A) (cdddr A)) (explode-cons) ;; Stack -> ((caaddr A) (cdaddr A) (cdddr A))) (match-eq? X) ;; Stack -> ((cdaddr A) (cdddr A)) (set L) ;; Stack -> ((cddr A)) (set U) ;; Stack -> () (list X L U) ;;; note if an explode-cons or eq? fails it will ;;; reset and the next pattern will be tried.
And what you note is that this is a more compact reduction of pattern matching then doing it with the standard VM of guile. So the end results is that code executed on this VM is both faster and more compact then using the standard setup. But of cause if we would like to compile this to the native platform then the standard compilation to pure scheme probably has an edge.
Interestingly though (I'm implementing a prolog on top of guile), this pattern can be generalized to the case where A - the input is a unifying variable. The destruction will look almost the same, but we need to tell the VM that we are in a mode of destructing a unifying variable. Meaning that if X is not bound we will set that variable to a cons and push two new unbound variables (car A) and (cdr A) onto the stack.

I was an MECP certified Autosound installer for a number of years and I have always loved Pioneer products! There are many different audio and sound quality controls on this unit that make it simple to tailor you music to sound the way you want! Also this is a great flagship unit to use if your going to install a complete aftermarket system with multiple speakers, amps and subwoofers, most of the necessary crossovers are built right into the unit eliminating the need for external crossover networks! I also love the USB input on the front face for Ipods or any other MP3 player! I have a Sony 16g MP3 player and it sounds amazing on this unit! The Dynamic sound retriever is excellent for restoring that compressed audio format that we tend to get when we download MP3's, now my player sounds as dynamic as a cd on this unit!! Very Highly recommended for anyone!!!

I am thinking of traveling in Chile and Argentina for about 3 months and spending a month or so in Vina or Valparaiso studying Spanish and/or volunteering. Do you have any suggestions for language schools? What about volunteer opportunities? Not sure if this is the best way to contact you. Is there an email address I should write to? Thanks!

I finished The Wire Season IV last night, very good. Not as good as say Deadwood or Rome but still very very good.
Cherry 2000. An interesting sci-fi flick from the late 80s with Melanie Griffith as a tracker. Had never seen it before until yesterday.
The Invisible Woman (1941). More tongue-in-cheek than serious than the other Invisible movies.
The Man with the Golden Gun (1974). One of the local theatres had a midnight showing this past Saturday night. The last time I saw a Roger Moore Bond movie on the big screen was his last one in the 80s. Can't remember the last time I watched TMWTGG uninterrupted. Although it's not my favorite Bond, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The same theatre is having a midnight showing of Carrie in mid-May. Might have to go to that one.
Been going through Battlestar Galactica (2004). Really enjoying this show. Have nothing bad to say about it yet!
You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
Just finished Secretariat. Not as good as Seabiscuit.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I watched Dr. Shivago about the times during WW1 and the Russian Revolution. Very interesting movie!
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Just got back from seeing "John Carter"
I went in with very low expectations...especially after all the bad buzz and terrible reviews it's been getting, but...
...I ended up really liking it a lot. It's a good, solid movie. Great production (this is one of those movies where you can see all of the money on the screen), well-rendered effects (not just the character work and environments, but the great combination of locations with the digital work- besides it's ALWAYS awesome to see Lake Powell standing in for an otherworldy location ), solid and enthusiastic performances(the lead had to work hard to convince me in this part but by the end of it he had), good score, decently paced (never looked at the time during it's run) and...no spoiler to say that while it's left open for further adventures, it also works as a stand-alone movie.
Now, I saw it in 2D (my preference) and I thought it looked and sounded great. Sadly though, there were only about ten other people in the theater. I hope good word-of-mouth helps this movie. It's another example for me how I end up really enjoying something that most mainstream critics just used to sharpen their claws on.
If this movie bombs, the folks at Disney should dump their clueless publicity department (the promos for this have been bloody awful)...everyone involved in actually making this movie was obviously into creating something special and it shows...
Great film....I'll see it on the big screen again!
Ride the High Country (1962) A tame western (when compared to the Wild Bunch or Major Dundee) from Sam Peckinpah, starring Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea as two old gunfighters escorting a load of gold to the bank.
The Ghost of Frankenstein. Lon Chaney's the monster this time, and Legosi's still Igor.
Empire Strike Back...on Blu Ray! Boy, that was good. Noticed subtle background additions on this fine print. Now to find time to watch Jedi.
That's my jacket!
Casablanca (1942). On the big screen! TCM had one of those special viewings for the 70th anniversary (and Blu Ray release) in my area, and the wife and I went. It was great! Had never seen Bogart on the big screen before. It was a little pricey ($12.50 a person) but definitely worth it.
Return of the Jedi. On Blu Ray. Uncle George tinkered with ROTJ more than Empire for the Blu Ray release. A Dug was added to Jabba's palace, and Vader's nooooooooooo at the end. The Death Star 2 attack was great.
Revenge of the Sith. On Blu Ray. Wow, the opening space battle just blew me away! Lot of detail. Don't know if it's me or what, but it appeared that during the Palpatine rescue scene, the battle action in the background was enhanced. Also thought I noticed some new female looking droids during the post battle scene (dropping off Palpy) and the opera house. I'll have to pop in the DVD version to check.
Can't wait to watch Attack of the Clones on Blu Ray!!
Time for something a little less classy than Casablanca.
I just watched The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence.

Last spring some GW colleagues and I proposed a new Medieval and Early Modern Studies Institute, GW MEMSI. Having run a seminar on early transnational Europe for nine months (the MEMSeminar as we called it), having attracted twenty or more people to each of its convocations, and having maintained an email list of interested faculty and students that burgeoned to one hundred names, we realized that the time had come to attempt to give what had been a fairly informal and potentially ephemeral community a more enduring, institutionally supported structure.
Fortunately for us, our proposal succeeded. GW MEMSI has been funded at $40K for three years of life, the most substantial investment my university's Research Office has made in a humanities initiative. We've convened our seminar once, and had a spectacular debut symposium (when Touching the Past surpassed 50 RSVPs, we had to stop advertising because our room had reached capacity), and we have many plans for the spring. We hope many readers of ITM will be joining us for them.
But this flurry of activity has been cart before horse. GW MEMSI has in fact never been chartered by the university, so we do not yet exist as an instititute. The research committee that convenes to grant such charters has summoned me for an appearance today. With luck all will go well ... and this entity that has been acting as if it has a director and a steering committee and some enthusiastic participants will come into actual being. For some reason I keep imagining that this group who willd ecided upon the charter will be dressed in monastic robes and that the room will be illuminated only by flickering flame. Mysterious queries will issue from hooded visages. Wrong answers will be punished by imprisonment, burning, and/or a reduction in the funds that have so far allowed the bacchanal that is GW MEMSI. Wish me luck.

So I was asked a barrage of questions about institutional architectures, advisory versus steering committees, the intangibility of that which can catalyze edge of field humanities research (how do you quantify engaged conversation), research products, external and institutional support, best practices at other similar institutes, why other DC faculty members seem collegially disposed towards us rather than in competition (22 of them signed on as local supporters) ... and on and on. I have no idea how it went.

Well, good luck, and I hope to show up some time... when it's not across from Haskins!

Good luck and Congratulations! It is great news that a medieval initiative is getting some support and attention!

JACKSON — The Mississippi Department of Corrections reports four women were arrested Saturday while trying to sneak contraband items into two prisons.
Corrections officials said Susan Brewer, 58, of Waveland and Keneithea Chanel Johnson, 35, of Columbia are each charged with possession of a controlled substance, introduction of contraband and conspiracy following their arrests at South Mississippi Correctional Institution in Leakesville.
Brewer and Johnson, who came to the prison together, were taken to Greene County Jail.
Brewer is the mother of Inmate Chris Mazur, 29, who is serving a three-year sentence from Hancock County for possession of a controlled substance.
Johnson is the girlfriend of Inmate Torey Varnado, 30, who is serving nine years, four months and 21 days for uttering forgery out of Marion County.
Investigators with the Corrections Investigation Division seized about 55 grams of spice and 240 grams of tobacco with the two women's arrests.
The two inmates also are charged with conspiracy from a three-week investigation.
NDOC said Salinda Hemphill, 32, of Hattiesburg and India Shirley, 36, of Arlington, Tenn., were arrested at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman.
Hemphill is charged with introduction of contraband after investigators found 18 Lorotab pills concealed on her body. She is the wife of Inmate Marcus Hemphill, 37, who is serving two sentences out of Choctaw County. Inmate Hemphill received life for armed robbery and 20 years for aggravated assault.
Shirley was scheduled to visit Inmate Kevin Jennings, a friend of hers who is serving 22 years for cocaine possession with an enhanced penalty. She is charged with five counts of conspiracy to introduce contraband.
Both women were booked at the Sunflower County Jail.
Introduction of contraband into a correctional facility is a felony punishable by three to 15 years in prison, a maximum $25,000 fine, or both.

This article originally appeared in the May 22, 1973 issue of the Boston Phoenix.
I have a friend who finds the Watergate scandal only mildly amusing. This friend — call him "Thomas" — has been around Massachusetts for a couple of decades and has seen this all before. Thomas is a campaign spy; a homegrown version of E. Howard Hunt, Donald Segretti and Gordon Liddy.
"The trouble with those guys," says Thomas, "is that they got caught. You'd think they teach them better at the CIA, wouldn't you?" Thomas, who now works in state government as a reward for good and faithful service to a prominent elected official during a recent election, finds the failure of the Gemstone team the most repugnant aspect of the Watergate affair. He simply cannot believe that the men who planned and executed the break-in and related espionage could be as stupid as they were.
"I was only almost caught once," he recalls. "Back in 1971 I broke into a campaign trailer of Louise Day Hicks for ---------. Someone saw me and I almost got nailed. Even then I managed to get away with some good stuff and still make it look like a burglary not anything political." It was a break-in that received some coverage from the local press — a mayoral campaign sidebar at most. No one attributed anything political to it. And it is doubtful that Hicks ever suspected who did it. Thomas remained a top campaign aide to the very end.
Campaigning spying and related skullduggery is an old tradition in Massachusetts politics. James Michael Curley used to vote the graveyards in his candidacies and the Combat Zone/Boston Common winoes could feast on the dough they received to vote for various candidates around election time. In more recent elections, campaign spying has become a better paying, more complex sort of affair. Nearly every hotly contested Boston mayoral, gubernational and congressional race of the past decade has featured undercover agents, double agents, faked documents, erroneous rumors, set-up scandals, and leaks to the press.
Sometimes these actions can drive a candidate right out of the race. In 1970, Governor Frank Sargent was all set to put State Representative Martin Linsky of Brookline on his ticket as the nominee for lieutenant governor. Mysteriously a report surfaced that Linsky had once been caught with a Combat Zone prostitute by the Boston police. There was a police report to back it up. It appears the whole affair was rigged by a Boston pol with good connections in prostitute circles and the Boston police department. To help his good friend, State Senator John Quinlan of Norwood who was also seeking the spot on Sargent's ticket, this pol nailed Linsky.
The sordid business ended with Linsky stepping out of contention. Sargent did not go with Quinlan, though, but picked Don Dwight instead — partially in reaction to the way his original choice was done in.
Most of the espionage is aimed at the defeat of a candidate. To this day, no one is quite sure who rigged the arrest of Cam Kerry, brother of Congressional candidate John, and another Kerry campaign aide during last fall's elections. There were too many calls in the night, too many coincidences, however, for it to have been anything but a set-up deal. That the press learned of the two Kerry workers' arrest on charges of breaking into another candidate's headquarters almost before the police did bears out the suspicious nature of the affair. And it did hurt Kerry, probably enough to account for Paul Cronin's small margin of victory in November.

text: Since I needed to check Costco for some items, I figured I'd try them for gas: $3.699, but that's the same (cash only) price as many of the ARCO stations here, so they're not as cheap as they once were. Side note: the signs for the ARCOs have a small "a BP Company" logo and phrase in the corner (why would they do that to themselves?).

Plant and light suggestions for a 36g bowfront...
(Mods, i have a general thread on this aquarium in "beginners" and a few in specific forums. Feel free to consolidate/ let me know if that is the appropriate way to keep things, rather than threads scattered about the forums)
I am pretty new to keeping aquariums. I am starting up a 36g bowfront tank and hoping to plant it so that a pair of bolivian rams will find it homey, while not getting too complicated with the keeping. Could anyone help me with suggestions for easy plants that don't require co2 and will settle in to a (soon to be) sand substrate?
I am looking at/planning on LED lights because I live in Florida and don't need anything raising my water temps during at least 6 months of the year when the house stays between 78-80 degrees, but haven't actually figured out which one I will need. Any recommendations in that department would also be appreciated.
So far we have jungle val, java fern and java moss growing away in a populated tank. They are under the lights that came with a 15g tall set up and haven't been fertilized or given any special treatment and they are all growing and spreading happily. They do have an extremely well lit room, though. Some of the java moss is already floating in the new tank while it cycles, and there is a good chance that some of the other two will find their way in also.
Java Fern and Java Moss are low-light plants, so they will do better either in less overhead light, or when shaded by floating plants. Almost any tank lighting will accomodate these, except bright overhead light with no shade.
Vallisneria tends to need brighter light, but more importantly harder water. So depending upon your GH, it may be doing well because it is getting what it needs in both light and hard minerals.
On LED lighting, I won't say much but leave it for those with more experience to comment. I have however heard that the Marineland Double Bright LED system is fine for low and moderate light plants. I believe someone mentioned this fixture in another thread only this week.
To other plants. With moderate light you could have success with pygmy chain sword (Helanthium tenellum), the common sword (probably Echinodorus bleherae), and crypts. Stem plants tend to need brighter light because they are fast growing, but some manage quite well in moderate. Pennywort is one I find works, and it also is very nice floating. And floating plants in my view are essential in most tanks because they are much appreciated by forest fish.
None of the afore-mentioned need added CO2. I have never added CO2 to my tanks in more than 20 years of well-planted aquaria. Other fertilizers may be needed, depending upon the plants, light, and your water and fish load (which both supply some nutrients). A comprehensive liquid is the first to use.

Something we all need to remember: The fish you've acquired was quite happy not being owned by you, minding its own business. If youre going to take it under your wing then youre responsible for it. Every aspect of its life is under your control, from water quality and temperature to swimming space. [Nathan Hill in PFK]
Thanks for the question and the response. I'm telling ya this is the place !!!!!!!!!!!!ask ?'s and change some water pair of JD's and loving it.

Even though I'll be buying a complete basic set from a fellow collector in a few weeks, I still like to get a few packs from the store.
Printable View
Even though I'll be buying a complete basic set from a fellow collector in a few weeks, I still like to get a few packs from the store.
Closest I was able to do with that was to also get a complete set, but I bought a few (think it was 3 or 4) unopened packs, too. Those packs netted me a few magenta and blue parallels, and a couple extra subset (Connections, Influences) cards.
My club had its yearly fundraising auction over the weekend. The guy who I've bought sets of cards from didn't have any with him, but he did donate a basic set and the subsets for the auction. So guess who got both for a sweet price??? This guy!!!!
The numbering is confusing. Like the artwork on the front but thought there were some that were almost too similar. Haven't read all of the cards. Ran out of sleeves for them.
Picked up the latest Non-Sports Update at the comic shop over the weekend just for the Galactic Files 2 promo card. It's of Vader. Have to see the rest of the set to see if it's a true promo card or what.
Since GF #1 was in the store, I'm hoping #2 will, also. If not, I won't be surprised.
So, this was already released? Only to hobby shops, or in Target-like places? I'll have to start checking.
I'm thinking just in the last week or so.
The street release date was July 31, but I haven't seen anything at the retail and hobby stores. My area's big comic shop doesn't carry that many trading cards anymore.
The base sets, subsets, sketch cards, medallion cards, etc... are on ebay.
Getting a little tired of these red and blue chase cards. I'm not a completist (at least anymore) but it's getting a little out of hand. Just give me a basic set of trading cards.
I consider them "chase cards" in that they (supposedly) have additional value; I don't seek them out, but it's nice to snag one (blue snag?) in a pack. But they just seem like a silver/grey IG-88 "variant" level to me.
I saw that release date online, but have never seen them nowheres. :(
Still seen in no stores. :sad: You know, I may just pass on this set. Not going to make them even remotely available to buy conveniently? Might not buy at all, Topps.
Same here. Did a mini-toy run this morning and checked several Targets, and nada.
The big card collector in the club is bound to have basic sets for sale here soon.

The big news in the Welsh-language IT world this week was Microsoft's announcement of a Welsh-language pack for Windows XP and Office.
Or was it? According to this morning's edition of the most widely-read Welsh national newspaper, the Western Mail, the big news isn't so much that Microsoft are now supporting Welsh, but that they're playing catch-up by supporting Welsh.
Linux, of course, is ahead of the game.
Those of you who read Telsa's diary and a few other sources are probably quite familiar with the shenanigans of various Welsh open-source translation teams. There are now countless pieces of Welsh-language open-source software. Getting one up on Microsoft was less a reason for these efforts than was promoting Welsh in the first place, but somehow our various translation teams have managed to turn what should have been a glorious PR day for Microsoft into something of an own goal.
The announcement from Redmond of an LIP for Welsh, swiftly followed by some deft press release action, resulted in probably the biggest press coverage Linux has ever received in the country. Microsoft's PR agents are probably choking over their croissants this morning.
But the Western Mail piece does imply that it would be futile to try and play down the significance of a Windows XP in Welsh. And they're right: this is unquestionably a great leap forwards for Welsh-language IT, and gives further credibility to Welsh as a language of commerce and business. It's not all good news, though: the current understanding is that a Welsh Windows will always be a Welsh Windows [EDIT: unless you laboriously uninstall the LIP each time you want to switch back to US English], a great marketing move in a bilingual nation. <STRIKE>which means I will probably never buy Welsh Windows - I can't afford two licenses.</STRIKE>
Quite apart from licensing constraints, I don't need to tell Advogators about the dangers of relying on one company to provide you with Welsh-language support in perpetuity, rather than an open system within which literally dozens of people are working on Welsh translations. It's not even clear whether Welsh will make it into Longhorn - though I'd be surprised if Windows' internal language support changes sufficiently by then for it not to.
It remains unlikely, though, that anything would have happened about this had Microsoft not been at least aware of the existence of Welsh Linux. At the first LREC in 1998, I listened to a Microsoft spokesman outline a vague roadmap to make Windows available in more languages. Nowhere, not once, was Welsh mentioned by him. Other European minority languages made an appearance (notably Catalan - well, the conference was in Granada), but Welsh might as well not even have existed.
Then, prodded and buoyed no doubt by EBLUL and the WLB, the rest of the software world started to take notice. Translations started first on a relatively small scale, with a Welsh Opera being a good Christmas present in 2000. Then, things snowballed, until significantly, August 2003's National Eisteddfod saw a demonstration of a Welsh-language OpenOffice running on a Welsh-language KDE/GNOME desktop. Microsoft appear to have been planning a Welsh Windows since... September 2003. Draw your own conclusions.
It's not as if yesterday's announcment has made translators rest on their laurels though. In the very immediate future lies a Welsh Evolution, thanks to yesterday's GNOME announcements. [EDIT: later removed from GNOME 2.6 essentials, but there will be a Welsh Evolution soon.] And as the Welsh open-source community now seems to have a stable structure to accept and create translations for most major packages, who knows what might be in store further ahead?
But for today, though, good morning. And it is a very good morning in Wales.

I stayed at Walter's Oct 08-15. I was quite satisfied with everything about the apartment. It was exactly as pictured in the website. A microwave in the kitchen would have been nice, but that is my only criticism. The apartment was very quiet in the main room. It couldn't be in a more ideal location. There are Würstel Stands on either side of the entrace to the building (including a Kebop available for € 2!), as well as a bakery. 3 grocery stores are within 5 minutes walking distance, and at the end of the street is the most excellent Caffee Latte, open 7 days a week from early to late, serving excellent food. Transportation? Directly across the street from the apartment is the Alser Straße stop for the Line 6 U-bahn, and at the corner is the #43 tram Between the two you have access to one of the finest city transit systems I've ever experienced. No where I wished to go was more than 15-20 minutes away. With the fine 7-day transit pass, the city is at your command. If this apartment is available the next time I travel to Wien, I shall book it with no hesitation!
Thanks for a great stay!
The apartment had all what my girlfriend and I needed, i.e. spacious, clean and close to an underground station (actually right around the corner; 1 min walk). Within 10 min you are in the city centre. Landlords are very friendly and helpful. The building itself is not that nice but this shouldn't be an issue. I would definitely book it again.
We recomend this appartment as it has very good relation price-quality. We went by car and it's only a few minutes distance from the city center. The appartment was really clean and spaceful. It's a very confortable appartment to go with friends or familly.
Everything was very nice. Kind and Helpful host. But not recommend for summer. Room was very hot and cannot open the window because of noise. But other seasons are no any problem.
I had a very nice time in Walter's apartment: it's roomy and confortable and there's everything you need to feel at home.
It has a good location: in that district you can find lots of shops and the underground U1 is just at the corner of the buildings. The owners are very kind ad ready to give any information you need. Really a nice experience! Alessandro
Nice appartment in an old building. It was clean. Lots of space. You can sleep in three separate rooms. Beds are firm but good. Furniture was good. Enough towels. We enjoyed our stay.
Metro just out of the door. Supermarket and bakery nearby.
The appartment lacks airco. When its warm, you have to open the windows. Outside is a lot of trafficnoise. When the window is closed, most of the noise is shut out.
Friendly and coöperative landlady. Katharina!
we stayed at Vienna for 4 days: 4 wonderful delightful days. The appartment was clean, spacious, very well equipped. No ned to take towels, bedlinnen, it was al provided for.There was a coffee bar on the ground flour, and another one three houses below. We were right in the middle between St Stephansplatz and Schonbrunn, and 4 stops with the metro fron the Naschmarkt. On foot we reached Stephansplatz on 25 minutes sharp, while window shopping! Sonja and Roos
Nice reception. Apartment is spacious, beds ++. Plumbing and linen okay ++ Unfortunately no tourist info in app. Location ++, opposite U-bahn (aboveground) and to a busy main road. A lot of traffic noise. Window open is no option.
We had a very pleasant stay in Vienna, thanks again!
Very comfortable, 6 of us stayed. Very near bakeries, restaurants (inc McD), supermarket. U-bahn and tram station right in front of apartment - so easy to move around. Owner Birgit VERY helpful and responsive to minor repairs arranging taxis to airport etc. Will definitely stay here if I come to Vienna again.
Fantastic host! Everything just went perfect, and Birgit & Walter provides a standard of service , above great hotels! Fast, friendly and very effecient service. The highest reccomendation.
