Looks like a good setup, I like Asus motherboards, always solid performers. I'm also a big WD fan. If you want to bump your load times you might want to think about trading your TB drive for a couple of 500s in RAID, also go with WD caviar black, they chew a little more juice but you can handle it unless you're prepping for crossfire down the road.
i am actually okay with the 1tb, but might consider the RAID option. though, what is the difference between caviar black and blue? I heard there's also greens...Da name's Paul. Not Dave. ROFL

I put together a system not too long ago. I did take around 3 months to get all the parts together. Was patient and looked for deals. A few good deal sites like fatwallet.com and slickdeals.net Was able to able to find deals on most of the things I needed that way. Bought many of the parts from newegg with their various sales. Only bought locally from microcenter, just the motherboard/cpu combo. This site http://pcpartpicker.com/ is nice too, let's you pick the parts you want and it lists stores that carry the part and price.
If it's going to be a gaming computer may want to consider a ssd to install games on for speed.

Don't know what your budget is but instead of a Dvd drive I would look into a Blu-ray burner drive and don't forgot about the cost of software, you'll need the higher versions of windows if you want to play older games..
You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
I haven't kept up with gaming rigs. However few general remarks.
1. Get an SSD. Even a small one for just windows plus 1 or 2 games will already improve startup times tremendously
2. Raid set only improves speed if you stripe across two disks. However, lose 1 disk, lose everything.
3. 16gb ram necessitates a 64bit windows
4. Get your protection sorted out. Even this lovely selection of hardware can be brought to it's knees by virusses and malware.
5. consider if you really need that soundcard. onboard sound is pretty good nowadays and you can always add later
6. for gaming a stable network connection is important. If you can use a cable, if you do wireless go for a channel that nobody else uses in the area.
7. do consider backup. Even with a gaming rig there will still be docs and pictures on it. Buy an external disk or spring for an online service.
Hope this helps.

Actually, you can get a good performance boost and redundancy by mirroring 2 identical drives, then the system will read information from them alternately so you don't hit bottlenecks when transferring huge chunks of data to RAM. And if one eats it, you have an identical one still sitting there.
Wd Caviar black are the high performance drives, blue are standard, and green are the low power consumption drives.
I agree with talldutchie on the soundcard, I've never felt the need for one and your motherboard has 8 channels and 3 analog outs, plenty to drive surround sound.
I disagree with talldutchie on protection, depending on how good you are at not clicking on things you shouldn't click on, and what sort of programs you have installed. I haven't used any 3rd party protection for almost 10 years and I've never had a problem, not to mention the included protections in windows are better than ever. But if it buys you peace of mind or you feel like you're at risk then go for it, though I would advise against downloading any free ones, I don't trust them.

I'm not saying a 3rd party tool is necessary (although I do run fsecure on all the computers in the house). If the windows one does the job fine. Point I was trying to make is that even this much computer horsepower can be rendered next to useless if you let it get contaminated with malware, trojans, toolbars and other nasties.
1) Swap out the Corsair ram for G.skill Ripjaws. Still cheap but nothing works better with the intel core chipsets.
2) On the other side swap out the powersupply for a corsair, they are the best and worth the $.
3) Unless you have a really high end surround sound you can skip the sound card.
4) Consider adding a 64 or 128gb ssd in addition to your 1tb just for windows and normal programs. Use the 1tb for game installs and other storage. This setup will increase your overall performance astronomically and one was of the best upgrades I made to my pc.
5) You'll want to think about getting an aftermarket cooler for your processor, even if you don't overclock. They're cheap and these core i chips get really hot.
Other than those small suggestions everything looks great! That will be one blazing PC!"At some point you aren't making the animal more dead...You are just making a bigger mess." - Demjor19
Thank you guys for being so helpful! Never imagined there's too much to consider with building a custom pc.
1. I will invest on an SSD, might be just the 64GB as FJ suggested.
2. The sound card is just extra $25 so I say why not get it, right?
3. I will also think about getting the corsair power supply if it's not too pricey. Although is 750w good enough for this build?
4. Does the ram brand really make a difference?
5. Would having a blu-ray drive make a difference? Do I need it if I'm gonna be mostly gaming?
6. As for anti-virus and stuffs, I have my own way of getting those softwares (for free).
I'll post the updated specs when I get home. Thanks again!Da name's Paul. Not Dave. ROFL

I had my proudest moment as a runner this past weekend and it had nothing to do with my running performance.
Every year at the end of April my local running club puts on the Pike's Peak 10k. They close down the Rockville Pike and several thousand people run down the fast, flat course. Because it is fast, and has a pretty good purse, it draws some very fast runners (East Africans and other sub-30 minute runners). There is also a huge festival with pizza, bagels, doughnuts, music, kids' games and fun runs. I have run this race every years since I started running and had already paid the entry fee, so when I woke up on Sunday with a head cold I decided to just suck it up and do the best I could. I ran from our house to the start (about 5 or 6 miles), did some light stretching and lined-up for the race. I felt horrible from the start and had a real hard time breathing with my congested sinuses. I knew the 5:15 pace was too fast, so I slowed down and pushed through. I ended up running in about 35 minutes flat, which looks better than how I felt.
Afterwards, I met Anne and the boys at the Festival, where Logan had signed up to do the kid's run. We had quite a bit of time to wait and Gavin (the 2 year-old) started getting cranky, so we walked across the street to the brand new Rockville Whole Foods. I could spend all day at Whole Foods. After some shopping and "samples" tasting, Logan and I headed back to the Festival to get ready for his run. He had the choice of running the 50 meter sprint or the 1K. Wanting to be like dad, he chose the longer distance. This meant we had about 30 minutes to wait while they did "heats" for the 50 meter runners. Logan, in true Ultrarunner fashion, took this opportunity to down a slice of Potomac Pizza!
After polishing off some pizza, Logan went through a string of active stretching (or close to it), which I am assuming he learned from watching me get ready for a race. We lined up at the start with a bunch of other 4-8 year-old's and a good mix of parents, who would serve as pacers and ensure that the kids don't run over each other. They started the race and we were off. I ran next to Logan as he sprinted through the crowd. I tried offering some advice: "save some energy for the final kick" but I don't think he really understood or cared. He was simply running and having fun. We reached the turn around and his little face was bright red. I asked if he was OK and needed to slow down and he said "no, this is fun." As we approached the finish line he went into an all-out-sprint and gave me a big "high-five" as he crossed the finish line in just over 6 minutes (not too bad for a 4 year-old). Afterward, he had me grab another slice of pizza, but this one he would eat later because he was too exhausted:)
Seeing my son run made me very proud. It was very exciting to run with him and see the look on his face as he crossed the finish line. He didn't care about splits, heart rate, or pacing. He simply enjoyed running. There is something very wholesome about it, and it reminded me of why I started running to begin with. It is very freeing and one of the most natural things we can do. Just go outside, run and enjoy it. It is not that I do not enjoy competition, and I am interested in all the stats and science that comes with the sport. However, when you strip everything out, I am just the little kid out there with a beat-red face - running, living in the moment and enjoying life. That is what my son reminded me of and it was special to see that spirit in him – that is what I would call my proudest moment as a runner!

It's gets more exciting around page 400.
I just finished it.
Very brief review: I liked it. Very well written, with good characters. The writing style is what really sets it apart though. The old-style is almost poetic. Overall, it does feel very "historical" rather than fantastical. It never gets particularly actiony or anything, though it does pick up quite a bit of excitement in the last 150 or so pages.

My wife just finished reading it. She loved it but did say that the first 100-150 pages were a bit slow. After that it really picks up, apparently.

Ya I had the exact same feelings. When you get to Mr. Norrell actually doing some magic (other than the stunt in the 1st chapter) it gets a lot more interesting. I blew through the last 600 or so pages, it was a pretty fun read.
Though I certainly enjoyed it, I think it started to bog down again when Mr. Strange goes to Italy with those other people. That's not a spoiler, I'm pretty sure.
I have a non-spoileriffic question too:
Does anyone know if this is going to be a series (that is, everything wasn't wrapped up in a nice neat package so it COULD be... but it doesn't NECESSARILY seem like it's gonna be).
In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

I'm only on page 220 something (Just finished the first chapter of the Jonathan Strange book/volume/part/whatever).
It's a little slow, but I like it. There's usually something in each chapter to keep my interested enough to keep reading. I'm kind of a slow reader, so it's going to take me a while (I've had the book for probably 3 - 4 weeks now). I only occasionally get about a half hour to an hour in a day.
But, judging from those 220 pages I've finished, it's definitely worth picking up if you can handle a slower paced book.
If I added a sig, would you read it?

Quite honestly I found Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell to be a very boring read. About halfway through I just stopped reading it and moved on to read a different book.
What made me put the book down?
The characters for one; they all seemed to be the exact same character. Not a single one of them flexed very well in their dialog. It seemed to me that they were all molded into one particular character type and then told to go recite their lines on stage as if they were attempting to chip away a brick wall with a straw. This brings me to my second complaint; over using exclamation points.
Just about every single line of dialog ended in an exclamation point or seemed as if the characters were excited all the time. Someone could be picking at the grass and these characters would literally throw a banquet in honor the "grass picker."
My third complaint would be the formatting of the text itself. To be blunt about it, the formatting sucked. I wasn't too impressed with how the narration would be speaking for the character and then said character would take up narration and complete the author's thoughts. At first it was charming but after 502 pages of the same format I grew tired of it. That kind of storytelling is great for beginnings and endings but and can only hold its own for so long. It would be different if the characters were actually interesting and versatile but they aren't and that definitely played a role in my becoming tired of reading the novel.
Also, footnotes were boring to read and seemed out of place. Oh and a footnote is not supposed to take up an entire page. That takes the reader out of the story and into the realm of schoolwork.
Overall the story left me dry and I had zero emotional attachment to anything involved with the tale of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. I think that is the number one factor for me to get into a story. Characters and how they interact with the other characters and the world around them. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell read too much like a history book (a poorly written one at that) and not enough like a...
Well, a story.

I just finished it recently. The book was written in a style common to the era it was set in. That's something you kind of have to accept upfront, or else you'll be bored by the footnotes, formatting, dialogue, etc. A lot of your complaints, Sparhawk, might be attributed to that.
I really enjoyed it, though I also thought it dragged a bit in the middle. The story itself is extremely slow-paced, but it makes it a very rich tale when all is said and done.
I kept thinking I'd love to see a movie version of the book, though they'd have to keep it true to its Victorian roots and I don't know if Hollywood could pull it off. Part of the book's charm is that it is almost written as part of the collection of magical books that it speaks so often about.

Yellowking: I do agree that I wouldn't mind seeing a movie version of the book. It seemed like to me that it was almost written for the big screen.
MY displeasure of the book did stem from the footnotes and dialog. It is not that I can't read and enjoy that style of writing; I just was not interested in the characters themselves. I'm sure you'll understand that in a story if you don't like the characters you'll be hard-pressed to stick with it.
I'd give the book a 2 out 5 stars. Had the characters been more interesting for me then I would have most definitely finished the book and scored it a 4.

This book has been a brutal struggle to read. Some of sparhawks points above are the same points I would bring up as negatives. As others have written, those same points could be positives. For me, it's like having Margret Thatcher read this to me on tape. It's dry, lacking in characters I care about, and leaves me impatient for some action of some kind. I'll continue to read it until it's due back at the library; hopefully it'll pick up.

I'm about 600ish pages into it and I gotta say that I like it. It is odd that this book is both interesting and boring at the same time. I'd recommend it based on what I have read so far but here's hoping the ending has a bit more excitement.

Well then, help me out here. Are the footnotes ever actually important? Because so far they have been a big waste of time, and they really make the book drag.
Secondly, what is kinda annoying so far is that there seems to be a lack of color. Everything is grey and gloomy... why not have some brightness to get the mind visualizing all these potentially cool scenes?

1) I really like the footnotes. They add a real sense of depth to the novel, hinting at a world and history beyond the story. If you don't read the footnotes, you're going to really miss out on a lot.
2) Of course the story is dark and gloomy... it's in ENGLAND. I'm from Seattle, the rain every day, depressing, suicide capital of the US... and I got depressed in England.
Just Hiro will do.

Wow... well... I hope you have a sunny day soon... But I am more talking about the elements of the book, as in the character description, conversations, clothing, magic events...etc...

I think that doom and gloom again hearkens back to the old Dickens novels, which consisted of the same kind of dark, dreary atmosphere. This book is written as if this stuff really happened, and that the novel is actually just another "history book" in a long line of tomes written about the two great magicians. The footnotes help establish that history, and in that way are absolutely essential.

A friend recommended it to me and I picked it up based on that. I'm only into the third chapter, but it's somewhat entertaining so far. Enough to keep me reading anyways.

I'm about halfway through the book. The story's picking up, and I'm definately going to finish this one.
I'd have to say that I don't mind the footnotes. I can jump to them, and they really don't interrupt the flow of the story for me. I would agree that the style does take a bit of getting used to, but I have read some Dickens and Dumas in the past which has prepared me for the older style of writing.

Laura's Corner
I work very hard and am attending college to obtain my degree in the Human Service field. Writing makes me feel alive and gives me the opportunity to touch those whom I would not be able to otherwise. Last but not least, I have been blessed with two amazing daughters who love me completely and support my dreams. Feel free to contact me with questions, concerns or feedback.
On your own....
In reviewing the last few years of my life, I'll keep it short and sweet. I've had some unexpected surprises, have been completely unprepared and was not ready for certain circumstances. Let's just say at times I questioned, "Why me?" After a few months, lots of writing and talking with friends, I've come to a conclusion about life in general. One question that comes to mind is, "How do we survive in a world which will throw us into gentle rain and tornadoes, all within a matter of moments?" I think I have the answer.
As a little girl, I remember attending weddings, many to be honest. My mother's family consisted of 8 children, father's included 3. The women were, for the most part, educated, which included a college degree. This included my maternal Grandmother who had, I believe, attended college as well. I remember education being a very important part of our lives. My Grandmother would wrap her arms around me, "Laurie, you're so smart, you've got such a good mind, use it!" Little did she know I was drawn more towards boys than books, but what she doesn't know won't hurt her.
Because we were educationally focused, college wasn't a question. It was a necessity, a means to a better life. Back then, a degree meant a solid source of employment including all the fringe benefits. Each member of my family eventually married, purchased their homes and were financially stable. It is still this way today.
While driving recently, a thought came to mind. "The less dependent you are on anyone else; financially, emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally and other, the quicker you are able to recover." As I pondered this, I have come to the belief that this is completely true.
Many individuals stay in relationships because their very lives depend on someone else for their very survival. Men and women, losing their jobs, refuse to leave relationships because they are not financially able to break free. People, who are too afraid to be alone, refuse to leave even the most unhealthy of situations. Fear, of the unknown, of the belief that they can't do it on their own, keeps them and their children in relationships which may have never been started had one or the other been healthier.
As a woman, I am completely capable of taking care of myself. I rarely ask for help, my pride gets in the way. If I have a flat tire, I'll call roadside assistance. When my furnace went out, I would check the Thermal Coupling and Heat Sensor. Let's just say I've done tune-ups, CV Boots, packed bearings, changed spark plugs and flat tires as well. I'm not afraid to get dirty, although in all honesty, clean is for me. Don't get me wrong, if it's hot I am going to phone a friend for assistance with an air conditioner. Let's just say I am realistic when it comes to my muscles and how much my back can take.
Because I am fairly independent, I able to take care of business. I am not afraid to jump in and help a stranger with jumper cables. I am not afraid to question salesmen, mechanics shops and pull out my phone and search google while in front of a guy trying to sell me a wash machine to compare prices. I'm bold, outgoing, and most important, friendly.
As a mother, and a woman, I believe it is my job to encourage others to educate themselves, to be self-sufficient and rely on themselves more often than not. It is saddening how many women I talk to who are in dead end relationships out of fear. How many are afraid because they're raising babies, uneducated and afraid to do it on their own. I talk with older women, who stay because they never received formal training past child rearing and housecleaning. Sad but true.
This not only applies to women but men as well. I've talked with countless men who are afraid to break free out of fear of losing money, sex or starting over. I understand, because at one time in my life, I was afraid too. It took almost 10 years to say, "I am no longer afraid. I have absolutely no financial surplus but I am going to do this on my own."
In 1998, I started over. I was a single parent, working part time as a bank teller, making $8.50 an hour. Within a week, I had pursuaded my boss to move me to a full time position with benefits. I had a mortgage, car payments and other debts. I worked hard, climbed the corprate ladder and within 5 years had tripled my salary.
As a woman, I am not afraid. Because I have been there, I am fully aware of my capabilities to get 'er done. I am able to bounce back, move forward and let go. I have no idea what the future holds, but I am most certain that it will include joy, happiness and plenty of amazing friends. Whether I am single or not, there is one thing for certain; I was born a complete person, not half. I don't need you to fill the void, I am more than capable of doing that myself.
That said, the greatest gift you can give your child is to set boundaries and allow them the opportunity to stand on their own. Allow them the opportunity to make choices. Without the bad, they will never comprehend the good. Regarding your family and friends, do the same. If you have an individual in your life who is fully capable of doing for themselves, but refuses, begin to say no. Tell them you're busy, not able, in the middle of or have previous plans. Do yourself a favor and begin to withdraw from a co-dependent relationship and take care of you.
if you continually take care of others, you will continue to neglect yourself. Don't live a life wondering why you haven't experienced joy, peace or happiness for the past 5, 10, 25 years.

At hotels mainly or if I'll be inside somewhere for a while. I tend to park where I can see my truck most of the time.
Was on road to a field trial and forgot my locks to the trailer. Got to motel late, I layed awake all nite. I would have been better off to get up and go to wal mart to get new ones.
I always lock my boxes. I lost my 31/2 year old springer, who just got a CM in the 2004 open national, The Pro got in a accident and the door came open.

My box is almost always locked.
That was a little treat for Keystone Light drinkers in Texas.

I've just gotten into the habit of always locking them. Same as I do my truck.

Where I stayed
Nice, quiet room last night, so I think we all got a good sleep. Breakfast buffet wasn't as impressive as the other places we've stayed, but not too worried about that. Ice crystals all over our windscreens and door handles this morning when we went out and Kate's drink bottle left inside the car had partially frozen - brrrrrrrr. Stopped at the 'Family Dollar' shop in Custer
and picked up a few more things we didn't really need – Josh got a BIG bag of candy (on sale from Halloween) for $1.25!
Then out of Custer and on to a 500km stretch of Prairie Interstate – we're doing 140 kph along her and people are still overtaking us. Passed heaps and heaps of signs on the side of the road for 'Wall Drug', took us ages to realise it was a place, yet on the map it just says 'Wall', so not sure where the 'Drug' part comes from
road and prairie – fun to imagine Laura Ingall's Wilder and her family crossing it in their covered wagon! Bought Kate a picture book about Laura Ingall's Wilder at a gift shop yesterday.
For lunch we stopped at the GTO Diner beside an Auto museum (had Elvis's Harley, General Lee from Dukes of Hazard etc – we didn't have time to go into museum). Food and service was much better here, even got asked where I was from in the gift shop! We had our first taste of Boston Cream pie – which was sort of like a maderia cake, sandwiched with a vanilla-ish
cream/pudding stuff and iced with chocolate icing. Fred had a Denver sandwich, which was scrambled eggs with ham & capsicum, 'sandwiched' between two slices of toast. The salads here all seem to consist of a LOT of lettuce, some tiny bits of carrot and purple cabbage and in Fred's case today, some raw broccoli....hmmm, think they do fried food better than their salads...! I had fried chicken (yes, I know, my cholesterol levels are probably going through the
roof!!) which had the life deep fried right out of it, plus green beans (yum!), mashed potato and white gravy over the mashed potatoes..
sorry, part of the culture here! (Besides what else am I going to blog about – the scenery?? Not today, it's prairie country!)
Arrived at the 'Corn Palace' in Mitchell, South Dakota about 4pm – a lot of shops and other
businesses and even Rest Area's are closed for the season – I think this time of year normally has a lot of snow around. We went inside the Corn Palace and watched some basketballers practice on the inside court there. The Palace is pretty cool, all the mosaic pictures made
from different coloured corn cobs and bits of corn.
Staying at the Days Inn tonight, the hotel has the very attractive bonus (at least in the kids eyes) of an indoor water slide/heated pool – as you can imagine, they got their journals written in double quick time so they could hit the water! Left the kids and Fred to the waterslide for an hour and then decided I would have to have one go... scary stuff and doh! forgot to take my glasses off! Luckily the kids saw the glasses fly off my face and Fred retrieved them from the bottom of the pool. Also the saying the bigger you are the faster you go is absolutely true... only went down the once....
I don't think the kids realise how lucky they are having the entire 'water park' to themselves though!

Do turkeys rely only on sight to see food? I see them eating the hanging masts.
Also see them digging around tree bases and fields. With over 3 feet of snow on the ground how do they know where to scratch? Just randomly and get lucky?
I've been watching them and can't figure it out.

A high-powered sunscreen is a must for dealing with uneven skin tone. Sunlight stimulates melanin production, which can worsen the problem and make other treatments less effective. The best sunscreen is one that protects against both UVA and UVB light and has an SPF of at least 30. Sunscreen isn't just for outdoors. UVA rays can even penetrate glass, so it's important to wear sun protection daily - even indoors.
Hydroquinone is a chemical that's been used for more than half a century to treat uneven skin tone due to hyperpigmentation. It works by blocking the main enzyme involved in melanin synthesis. It works best when combined with glycolyic acid since the weak acid makes it easier for the hydroquinone to penetrate the skin. Glycolic acid also helps to slough off the outer layer of skin, which helps to remove superficial cells containing melanin.
Another chemical called kojic acid also helps to lighten pigmented areas that cause skin tone to be uneven. It's a natural acid that's a by-product of the fermentation process used to make Japanese sake.
Retinoids like those in prescription strength Retina-A are often used to treat acne and aging skin. Retinoids help to fade pigmented areas, but they work best when used in combination with hydroquinone. Otherwise, it can take 6 to 12 months to see results. Dermatologist can also do a series of facial peels using acids of various strengths to decrease pigmentation over time. Unfortunately, people with darker skin tones can sometimes experience increased skin pigmentation as a result of this treatment.
The bottom line:
There are a variety of effective ways to treat uneven skin tone that comes from overproduction of melanin. In many cases, a combination of hydroquinone and glycolic acid will fade darkened areas over time and improve skin texture too.

This Blueberry Cobbler Recipe is adapted from Allrecipes.This is an excellent recipe,a definite keeper.The only change i made in this recipe is i used Whole Wheat pastry Flour instead of all-purpose flour. I used fresh blueberries. Find the original recipe here
- 2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1 cup white sugar, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 6 tablespoons white sugar
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
Lightly grease an 8 inch square baking dish. Place the blueberries into the baking dish, and mix with vanilla and lemon juice. Sprinkle with 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of flour, then stir in the tablespoon of melted butter. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together 1 3/4 cups of flour, baking powder, and 6 tablespoons sugar. Rub in the 5 tablespoons butter using fingers, or cut in with a pastry blender until it is in small pieces. Make a well in the center, and quickly stir in the milk. Mix just until moistened. Cover, and let batter sit for 10 minutes.Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F .Spoon the batter over the blueberries, leaving only a few small holes for the berries to peek through. Mix together the cinnamon and 2 teaspoons sugar. sprinkle over the top.Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden brown. Serve this warm or cold with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream or without either.

Any advice?
December 09, 2004, 07:43:15 AM »
I am divorced with a 17yr old daughter that I love dearly and am very close to. She is a great kid, but her mom aint the best influence. I have tried to stay involved in her life as much as possible and I see her a few times a week. Any parent (divorced or not) can relate to how hard it is to stay a part of a teenagers life. But she has been great so far. She has been doing not so good in school, but going to summer and night school to try and catch up. A month ago she got her first job. So her days consisted of school M-F., night school on Tues and Thurs, and work on Mon, Wed, Fri, and Sat. Quite the schedule for anyone. Well 3 weeks ago, to help ease the burden I bought her a used car. She was ecstatic. She will help pay for car insurance with her job. After 2 weeks, she told me she was gonna quit night school, as it was too much for her to handle with work and all. She wanted some time for herself. Fair enough. She said she would try to make it up, but worse case she may have to graduate high school late. I was not thrilled about this, but was glad she was making the effort. Well tonight I find out she got her report card and it wasnt good. She has dug herself a big hole. And she is talking about dropping out. I am stunned. I have tried to stay involved without being overbearing. Her mom is sorta self involved and indifferent. But thats who she lives with. I am the opposite by nature and am a control freak. But I tried to let my daughter make her own decisions and find her own way, while always letting her know I would be there and help her as much as I could when she needed it. But I am wondering if I have been naive. It seems that after I bought her the car, all of this came on. I have always asked her how school was going and got the obligitory "fine" answer.
I knew she wasnt doing great, but thought she was trying and things were getting better. She says she was surprised to find out she was doing bad again this year and vfeels that trying to salvage graduating is useless. As she put it, she would be 19 before she graduates HS, but she could get her G.E.D. at 18. I dont know what to do at this point. I could come down hard and let her know how disappointed I am. I could take the car back, thereby making a bad situation worse. I just dont know. If anyone has any similar experiences they could share, or some advice, I'm sure it would be helpful.

Help her get a really, really crappy job (obviously not strip'n) and make her work it for a few months. Then when she complains about how much is sucks, just tell her to get her life in gear.
It may sound silly, but sometimes it takes getting close to the bottom before you realize how much you don't want to be there. Take it from a dropout with a BA and a nice job.

Getting her GED at 18 as opposed to graduating from high school sounds great......in theory. If she's having a hard time studying now what makes her think she's going to be able to in a few months?
I think that altho getting her the car may have exacerbated the problem she was headed there eventually anyways.
There's something going on behind the scenes you're not aware of.
A friend of mine just went thru a similar thing with her 17 year old boy.Come to find out he had a hidden life of sex, drugs/achohol and stealing(from friends and home).
I'm not saying your daughter has these problems but I do think something's going on you're not aware of.

Well, hindsight is always 20/20 - it might have been a good idea to say that keeping the car was contingent on her holding up her end of the bargain. But it's a little too late now. Never mind me - I'm just thinking out loud

When I was in 11th & 12th grade I was working at a grocery store and putting in close to 40 hours a week. The hours on the job, many of them past 12midnight and getting up early to go to school weren't compatible.
I'd sleep though 1/2 my classes, which never was a problems with the teachers, they didn't care. I'd breeze though those classes and the tests because I knew the material. But the one class I couldn't breeze through was math. Algebra and Geometry were NOT my thing. I flunked them miserably both years.
In order to graduate on time I had to take an alternative class that would get me the math credit I needed. That class was an introductory drafting class. Even though I sucked at algebra and geometry I managed to pass the class and graduate.
It seems like your daughter has lost hope and you need to be the anchor, the rock that puts her back on track. Dropping out of HS is NOT the way to go. Even if she has to repeat her Senior year, so what? Get the HS diploma no matter what.
She's going to find that NOT having the HS diploma is going to damage her chances of finding a mildly decent job in the real world.
Do whatever you have to do to convince her to get the HS diploma.
Having only a HS diploma and no college degree is one of the big regrets in my life. I graduated HS and went into the US Military.
In 2004 I'm wondering if the military will even accept a person if they don't have a HS diploma?

I don't have a similar experience and I don't really have any good advice other than to suggest you go with her to talk to a guidance counselar as soon as possible.
That "fine" answer coupled with the reality of how she was doing sends off warning bells in my head. Either she really didn't know how she was doing (which is a real problem) or she was blowing smoke up your tail (which as another sort of real problem)
I suspect 17 year olds don't take to lectures very well. I sure didn't. Since she is living with mom, I don't know what kind of discipline you can impose on her.
As Jshaw, stated prospects are pretty dim without a diploma.
I have no clue what the "pass rate" is for the GED, but it doesn't sound like this is the sort of kid who is going to study on her own. Taking it and failing it might push her further away from where you want her to go.

If everything you try fails, you can let her move to Las Vegas and go to work at the "Bunny Ranch".
From the HBO shows on the Bunny Ranch those women make ALOT of money. If money's all she's interested in, she'll make it there, IF she's a hottie. :twisted:
EDIT - WHEN she's of legal age to work in that environment.

If youre in a reasonalby decent school system (ie NOT Cleveland
) HS is pretty much a joke. A small level of attention and commitment (and I mean very small, as in show up, take tests etc) are really all thats required - and because youre more or less legally obligated to show up its probably time to ask some long hard questions about your daughter. Some people just arent clever, thats a fact - BUT in HS it takes quite an impressive degree of stupidity to fail out for that reason alone (again, IF youre in a more or less functional school system). If you think your daughter is incapable of doing the work due to mental capacity, there's really not too much you can do - but Im going to go out on a limb here and say thats most likely not the case. Its probably more a matter of effort. That said - night school is usually of little help as well - as why would a kid who doesnt want to do the work from 8 til 2 do it after dinner? Guidance is your best bet. Find out exactly WHY shes failin (again Im sure youre NOT going to find that its because shes "dumb") That and by all means take the car away. Take the job away. At 17 the most important responsibility a kid can have IS school - that makes all those menial jobs that people think build responsibility now less likely to become her future. Plus - whats the benefit of assigning someone MORE responsibility when they obviously cant handle the primary one before them? In the end, both suffer - obviously she needs more, not less time applied to schoolwork. Get on her back, tell her gc your concerns and THEY'LL get on her back - stay after school, study with teachers, go over material - and DON'T make it optional. All this of course is assuming there is a value to her actually graduating. If its really not going to matter one way or the other then grab that GED and be prepared to reap the rewards, most likely for the rest of your life. Education provides one of the greatest opportunities ever and it is of the utmost importance. Does she have other aspirations? Does she dislike high school but express an interest in vocational school? All are options - but dont let her slight herself now because she is lazy and would rather cruise around and spend her $100 a week - it may seem like a sweet deal at 17 but if you have no plans beyond that then be ready to learn to make that $100 last sweetheart because a long hard life awaits.

Dude, your taking my comments WAY too serious. RELAX.
Without a high school diploma what type of job is your daughter going to be able to get?;
Waitress at a greasy spoon do drop in diner?
Cashier at Wal-Mart? Even with their level of white redneck trash that they let work for them I'm wondering if not having a HS diploma she'd even be able to get a job with them.
Just with the examples that I've provided she's going to have a difficult time getting even a low-level income job.
The comment about the bunny ranch was my idiotic attempt at humor, seeing that your stressing out about your situation you could use a laugh or two.
But on the serious tip there are alot of women that have no HS diploma's that are out working in the adult entertainment industry, but I'm sure there's probably the occasional master's degree or PHD that just enjoy that type of lifestyle. If you don't want your daughter winding up in that line of work I hope for your's and her sake that she buckles down and gets the HS diploma.
NO it's not going to be easy for her, but sometimes "LIFE isn't easy".
Good luck...sorry that I pissed you off.

As your friendly, local divorce lawyer, I hate to oversimplify things, and maybe I missed it, but just what does your daughter want to be doing in the next 6 to 12 months?
If she wants to go to a junior college, the by all means, get the GED now and get in ASAP.
If she's not sure what she wants to do (which I suspect), you have a tougher choice. Your ex apparently exercises no degree of "tough love," but someone needs to explain to your daughter the reality to paying for the roof (and the lights).
To give you the bright side of this story, a guy I went to high school with dropped out and got his GED. He found the CRAPPIEST Christmas job paying minimum wage with this company called UPS. Perhaps you've heard of them. Well some time later, he got on full time. Guess what? He'll retire before I do.

Well my daughter will be here in about a half hour.
I talked to her GC at school today and it seems as if things have recently gone south. She was impressed by the fact that my daughter was trying the night school, summer school route and felt that even though she is way behind, if my daughter was willing to graduate a year late, there should be no problem. As to what she wants to do, I will find that out shortly. In terms of my ex not showing "tough love", she never has. Thats been left to me to be the bad guy all the time, which I have done to the best of my ability. My ex is on disability and struggles to get by. But most of my ex's problems come from the fact she is irresponsible and sucks with money and debt,(hence being my ex). She actually lost her last job for slugging a fellow employee (a guy). So I am afraid that the example she is setting for my daughter is overtaking my efforts to offset her behaviour. I have owned my own business for 6 years and have recently sold a house and bought a new one. I have been with my current girlfriend for 10 years. She sees what my hard work has gotten me and she sees what her mom's gotten out of her life. I felt she was intelligent enough to make the right choice. I may have been wrong. She spends way more time with mom than with me. But this fight is not over. I will try to find out what the problems are and what her attitude is about changing things. I'm gonna try and let her dictate the direction our discussion goes.
I'll listen. But if I dont like the way things are heading, I'm jumping in front of the train and trying to stop it. How...I have no idea yet. We''ll see shortly. Thanks all.

For anyone interested, my kid came over and we had a talk. It seems that she was really surprised to learn she was doing worse than she thought so far this year. There may have bee a mixup, as her progress reports have showed different grades than her report card shows. She freaked when she got the report card. She still knows she is behind, but her concern is not graduating untill she's 20. After talking about it and agreeing to set up a meeting with her GC to see what is what and what it will take to get back on track, she started to see that giving up is not the way to handle this. We have agreed that she will continue to go to school and try to continue to get things on track. She will keep the car and her part-time job, as long as she is making an effort. If when the time comes to graduate, in a year and a half, we will see where she is. If we agree that staying in school an extra year will not help at that point, then we will talk about going the GED route. She seemed fine with this and after she left I called the ex to tell her the plan and insist on her full support. The ex had no problem with that. I did throw out the threat to both of them about taking the car back, and it seemed to hit home. So, I think it went as well as I could expect. No one knows what the future holds, but I'm glad she may have learned that quitting aint the way to handle it when things are going bad. Thanks for all your input.

That's good news dude. Follow up. Proactively. You don't want to hound her, but show her how important consistant good work is. Even good kids need consistant messages reinforced. Ask for weekly updates and then follow through by showing real interest.

Id be careful about the job and the car. Im not going to lecture on parenting, but in your initial post you said she got her job a month ago and the car 3 weeks ago. If she was doing significantly better on her progress reports - it seems resonable to assume that she began tanking right around the time she picked up the two other "responsibilities" (I use quotes because for a teen these things are luxuries - they let her have mobility and spending cash - two things you DON'T need to succeed in school on the HS level). Im not sure how your school system works, but do the math - progress reports come out halfway through a semester, which generally runs about 2.5 months... puts it right around that time.

Congrats on getting through a tough situation - I hope it turns out better in the end, but I think your being so open about the problem is bound to help the way you talk about it with your daughter.
Nothing wrong with a GED in my opinion - getting one is all that matters. For some folks it's a great option outside of a traditional high school.
Best of luck to you and your daughter.

Just asking, but... You said she quit night school because it's too stressful? Yet kept her job? I have to ask, why not vice versa? In my view, school would be more important than a part-time job, especially at her age.
I have no idea of your situation, though, so please take no offense.

'Grandma Drummer' gets new drum set
ONALASKA, WI - Two and a half million people have now seen the YouTube sensation, dubbed the "Grandma Drummer." And now she doesn't have to travel very far to drop a beat on the drums.
Onalaska resident Mary Hvizda, 63, likes to drop by the Coalition Drum Shop in downtown La Crosse and rock out on a set.
Mary has been drumming for nearly 40 years, including multiple local bands a few decades back. But for about the past 20 years, she hasn't owned a drum kit of her own. That is until Monday.
The Coalition Drum Shop gave Hvizda a free $800 electronic drum set. They say it will be perfect for her to play anytime she wants in her apartment and not bother the neighbors.
Mary's still getting used to being a Youtube star, a web site she didn't even know existed until a few days ago. "I appreciate this new set they gave me, and all the calls I'm getting are compliments, and it makes you feel good, because I've been retired for a long time, and I'm 63, so this is a really neat feeling for me, and a very overwhelming surprise," said Hvizda.21119312
The owner of the Coalition Drum Shop says he hopes Mary will still drop by from time to time. "We hope this doesn't stop her, maybe that's another reason we gave her an electronic set so she comes on down and plays the standard drums down at our store," said Carl Johnson.
Hvizda says the drums will be put to good use because she's never owned an electronic drum set.

Some kind of cloudy mold or fungus growing in my QT
I'm on my second round of antibiotics (Maracyn 1&2) for some kind of bacterial infection that my flame tetras have. I'm three days in on the five day course, and I see only slight improvement so far. 8 of the 9 look fine, but the largest one just doesn't seem to be shaking whatever he's got. (Pics attached. Whitish patches beneath the region of his dorsal fin, and most noticeably right next to his tail fin)
But that's not really what I'm worried about. There is white fuzzy stuff starting to grow around the sides of the tank. Pics attached
I'm running an Ovation 700 in my 10 gal QT with new established filter media put in before this round of meds, daily ammonia tests are coming back 0, although nitrates are dropping, so I'm expecting the cycle to crash here before long.
This morning I double-rinsed/soaked a clean cloth in dechlorinated water and wiped up the worst of it (keeping in mind that there's beneficial bacteria in there too, so I didn't wipe down the whole thing) I took out the filter media and rinsed in dechlorinated water, took out the heater and cleaned it off.
Should I be concerned about whatever this crud is that's growing?
Could be fungus but hard to believe with such a clean tank. Could just be good bacteria growing. Don't worry at all about removing all the stuff from the walls - any/all good bacteria on tank walls/equipment contributes almost zero to the tank's bio-filtration.
Try adding extra air and raise the temp to the max safe for that fish species (and maybe a degree or two over - F only! That would be only 1 C over, metric.) Fungus hates heat and fish's immune system works better at higher temps.
Be ready with an anti-ammonia treatment and if the filter crashes, you will be ready. Nitrites are an other issue. If they rise, large water changes and a tsp of slat per 15 gal will help a lot (but ONLY if nitrites appear.)
Last edited by Cermet; 01-12-2013 at 02:43 PM.Knowledge is fun(damental)
A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.

Yesterday's diary got b0rken, so here it is again:
Well, it's been a very busy week. Saw Grandad, who's now at least slightly better. Then straight to YAPC::Europe which was a lot of fun, and it was great to meet at least some of the people I've been working with for the past however many months. And it was good to know that a fair number of the Perl 6 people have their heads screwed on the right way, which encouraged me to spend the past couple of days churning out Perl 6 RFCs. I still have quite about fourteen to write.
Today, however, was spent working on an article for PerlArchive; I'm supposed to be doing an operator-a-month series for them, but last month was cancelled due to moving house.
O'Reilly are going to be putting up my GNOME Perl tutorial series over at www.perl.com, and I'll be taking over the Perl 5 Porters weekly summary there as well.
I'm starting to feel I'm overcommitting myself.

automake, make dist and long filenames
Harish noticed some strange behaviour with 'make dist'. He later found out that it had to do with a file with an overly long pathname. Automake 1.9 by default forces 'tar' to work in the "most compatible" mode, and that mode supports pathnames only upto 99 characters long.
The solution is to ask automake to request tar to use the POSIX standard 'pax' format. Add a line like the following in the top-level Makefile.am.
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = tar-pax
However, life wouldn't be interesting if it was so simple.
- This option is not backwards compatible: older versions of automake don't know about it, and they barf on unknown options
- The tar that comes with SuSE 9.2 (IIRC) doesn't support 'pax', but does support the 'ustar' format, an older POSIX standard. Luckily automake has an option to request 'ustar' format: tar-ustar
That gets us to mono's solution. Here's the configure.in tidbit that does the trick:
# Gross hack to enable 'make dist' on automake 1.9+tar 1.14. # The extra brackets are to foil regex-based scans. m4_ifdef([_A][M_PROG_TAR],[_A][M_SET_OPTION([tar-ustar])])
Now, please forget this trick, it's gross. Just use automake 1.9.
PS: There's an even simpler trick: start distributing ZIP files (make dist-zip) instead

By Dennis Seid/NEMS Daily Journal
Mississippi's economy isn't expected to improve much until 2014, according to the latest outlook provided by University Research Center at the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning.
That conclusion, announced late Thursday, also said a "ragged recovery" is slowing employment growth.
Authored by senior economist Marianne Hill, the report noted the state's employment this summer hit its lowest level since 1996.
"There was some improvement in September, but still the unemployment rate remains above 9.7 percent in most counties and no increase in payroll employment is expected for 2012 as a whole," the report said.
In Northeast Mississippi, the average unemployment rate was 10 percent. As a whole, the 16-county region's jobless rate for the month was 9.4 percent.
From 2009 until 2012, the region endured double-digit unemployment rates for 35 of the 36 months.
Yet this year, with sporadic economic growth, the region through September has averaged 9.6 percent.
The reason for the improvement in Northeast Mississippi is several companies have expanded, including several furniture manufacturers, which employ the bulk of the manufacturing jobs in the region. Toyota opened in October 2011 and now employs 2,000 workers. Suppliers employ nearly that many.
IHL's report noted investments across the state totaling $1.4 billion have been announced since the start of the year. It also said other key indicators are improving.
"Residential building permits and housing starts are up sharply; retail sales continue to increase modestly," it said.
In another plus, general fund collections are coming in above estimates.
"The Mississippi forecast is for slow but improving economic growth, with some pick-up in employment next year, led by health care and a turnaround in construction," the report continued.
But Hill also said the state is not expected to regain its 2007 employment levels until 2018. Manufacturing, leisure and hospitality and other sectors won't reach '07 levels until later than that.
Statewide unemployment will fall slowly, from an average 9.4 percent this year, to an anticipated 7.9 percent in 2015.
Northeast Mississippi's employment rate in 2007 averaged 7.2 percent.
The report said the state's gross domestic product – the value of goods and services produced – is estimated to be up 0.4 percent this year, improving to 1.6 percent next year.
"The economic upturn is on more solid ground by 2014 and in 2015, the state GDP will post a healthy growth rate of 2.7 percent," the report said.

Rules and Guidelines
The Venture Labs Investment Competition (VLIC) and its affiliated competitions are designed to mimic the real-world process of raising venture capital. The competition allows graduate students to gain real experience while developing and growing new ventures based on their own ideas and technologies or those developed by others.
If at any point you have questions about your eligibility to compete or the rules as they are laid out below, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com .
Ventures, and their base concepts, may compete for only one season (academic year) in the Global Venture Labs Investment Competition, or in any of the affiliated competitions. Ventures may not compete in any Global VLIC-affiliated competitions once they have competed in the Global Venture Labs Investment Competition. Ventures that have generated revenue or raised working/equity capital from sources other than the members of the student team or their immediate friends and family before the current academic year are excluded. GVLIC reserves the right to request copies of any funding agreements.
The business venture must be developed under direct faculty supervision. Ideally, the venture will be prepared for credit in a regularly scheduled course or as an independent study. The executive summary and business plan must represent the original work of members of the team. All universities with participating teams are strongly encouraged to send faculty or other university advisers to the competition.
Bids to GVLIC-affiliated competitions must be accepted by a team's faculty adviser. The faculty adviser must, on behalf of the sponsoring university, attest to the eligibility of the team, their adherence to the rules and guidelines and acknowledge potential penalties for violations and infractions.
The competition is for student-created, managed and owned ventures. This is the most common area for requested rules clarification. The guidelines are:
Summaries should be submitted as a single, printable PDF file. Documents are limited to no more than two pages with the following parameters: format is 1.5 line spacing with 1 inch top, bottom, left and right margins and 12-point font. This line spacing and font requirement applies to the textual content of the document and not to titles and descriptions accompanying pictures, graphs, tables or worksheets.
Executive summaries should include an explanation of the offering to investors indicating how much money is required, how it will be used and the proposed structure of the deal.
The business plan is required for each team at submission and will be reviewed by the judges. However, based upon that review the full plan may or may not be further evaluated by the judges. In the case of a particularly engaging executive summary, the judges are encouraged to include the business plan in their decision.
Plans should be submitted as a single, printable PDF file. The business plan is limited to no more than 20 pages. This would include a single cover page, single table of contents page, two page executive summary, 10 pages of a business plan (note cover page and Table of Contents are required) and can include up to six additional pages of appendices. Page format is 1.5 line spacing with 1 inch top, bottom, left and right margins, and 12-point font. This line spacing and font requirement applies to the textual content of the document and not to titles and descriptions accompanying pictures, graphs, tables or worksheets. All pages must be numbered excluding the cover page. The cover page must include venture name and university affiliation. Judges are instructed NOT to read plans that do not adhere to this structure.
To review, here are the required elements and their page limits:
Teams requiring non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) should not participate.
All sessions of the competition are open to the public and may be broadcast to interested persons through media which may include radio, television and the Internet.
Any data or information discussed or divulged throughout the competition should be considered information that will enter the public domain.
The University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business and the organizer of the Venture Labs Investment Competition may make photocopies, photographs, video recordings and/or audio recordings of the presentations including the business plan and other documents, charts, media or other material prepared for use in presentation at VLIC.
The above entities may use the materials in any book or other printed materials and any videotape or other medium that they may produce, provided that any profits earned from the sale of such items is used by these entities solely to defray the costs of future Venture Labs Investment or affiliated Competitions. These entities have non-exclusive world rights in all languages and in all media to use or to publish the materials in any book, other printed materials, videotapes or other medium and to use the materials in future editions thereof and derivative products.
If at any time a team withdraws or does not compete in a competition after accepting a participation bid, the team and university will be subject to disqualification from competing in the Global Venture Labs Investment Competition and any other GVLIC affiliated competitions for that year and the following year - a two-year ban. All violations will be reported to the Competition Directors Committee by the subject Competition Director with documentation of the violation.
Adherence to the rules and guidelines set forth in this document is critical to the success and credibility of all GVLIC competitions. To that end, GVLIC has set up a due diligence process:
All reported issues will be reviewed and if deemed necessary penalties will be imposed upon the identified team and its sponsoring university.
Teams are encouraged to review award criteria, categories and amounts for GVLIC and each of its affiliated competitions. In most cases, distinction is made between cash and non-cash awards along with accompanying restrictions or agreements. It is the responsibility of the participating team to fully review each competition's award structure including possible payout or investment requirements.
Teams must be present at the competition's scheduled closing award event. Failure to attend will result in forfeiture of all awards and prizes secured during the competition.
This document sets out guidelines to maintain a graduate student-based funding competition. Not every circumstance can be anticipated. The directors reserve the right to disqualify any team that violates the rules, regulations or the spirit of the competition. Any questions regarding eligibility should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com . A subcommittee of other competition directors will make the call on situations that are not directly covered in these rules.

So you're going to make your own verion of the Nano, that sells for $29.74 in 100-lot qtys (with pins), but without the reset switch, for $12-15?http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardNanohttp://www.gravitech.us/arna30wiatp.htmlSounds like a fine goal. Are the FTDI chips that inexpensive?
but it costs money to make PCB's,
Ok, price seems more achievable now.What will set it apart from these aside from the reset switch?the 3.3V & 5V Promini,http://www.gravitech.us/arpromi5v.html $17the ardweeny,http://www.solarbotics.com/products/kardw $10the RBBB,http://shop.moderndevice.com/products/rbbb-kit $13the Boardinohttp://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=72 $17.50and others, such asthe no longer procurable iduino clonehttp://spiffie.org/kits/iduino/or this list?http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Main/SimilarBoards

Really close to the tube station
Room inside is lovely and clean but does look a bit shabby outside
Nandos two doors down very useful
Could have done with a fan for the hot weather!
Fridge in room
TV in room
ASK for wifi password
Clean comfortable room. Good value for money.
it´s not really a private appartement - it´s a hostel!!! there are 5 rooms to rent and you have to share one bath!!!! there was a line waiting in the morning!!!!!!!not really clean.....but it was really close to the liverpool station...anyhow...
Bed was comfortable
Not sure if I actually met Marcos. Had difficulty locating the address, rang several times to get directions but repeatedly given the address - which I of course already knew. Finally had to use an exorbitantly priced taxi.
The overall condition of the property was very run down, carpets very badly stained on stairs/landings. My room was at the top of four flights of stairs, which If given the choice I would not have booked as I have back problems which were exacerbated by having to carry my suitcase up the stairs.
Nice room. Good value for money.
Room was averege/good, not excellent like in description. Hard to find for first time. Specific smell but except this everything was like in description. Good contact.
Our stay at Marco's apartment in London was really enjoyable. Great location less than five minutes walk from Liverpool Station, surrounded by heaps of nice pubs, bars and restaurants. Only 10 minutes tube ride to all the main sites It was quite easy to find, even though we were first time visitors to London.
The shared bathroom and kitchen facilities were great. They were cleaned daily, so were always spotless. The room itself was clean and comfortable, including the bed. It even had a fridge, which was useful. The free wifi was fast and easy to connect to.
We would definitely stay again.
Great location, okey standard. The apartment had everything you might need and it was clean, but the air was bad and it got really hot.
Very well located, did the job.

This easy-to-make, do-ahead dip is ready for a party!
You'll find pesto next to other pasta sauces in the supermarket, both on the shelf and in the refrigerated pasta section.
Turn this extravagant dip into a bounty of goodness by accompanying with lots of green vegetables, such as broccoli flowerets, snow (Chinese) pea pods and green bell pepper strips. Add festive splashes of red with cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper strips and radishes.
