India has the largest number of young people in the world. Forty percent of the population is under the age of twenty. And New York Times journalist Somini Sengupta says young Indians are changing their country profoundly with demands for economic opportunity and social equity. Part memoir, part political history, Sengupta's book "The End of Karma: Hope and Fury Among India's Young," explores the barriers and hopes of this dynamic new generation.

Oakland lawyer Nicole Pittman has interviewed more than 500 people who were placed on sex offender registries for offenses they committed as juveniles — offenses ranging from public urination to rape. But Pittman says the stigma of a registry can be devastating, ravaging the lives of kids and their families, while failing to protect the public. She says youth offenders rarely re-offend and are able to be rehabilitated. Forum talks about juvenile sex offenders and the movement to reform the way they are handled.
Terrorists attacked Brussels during Tuesday morning rush hour, killing at least 30 people and injuring more than 200. A suicide bomber hit the international airport, and another explosion hit a train at the metro station. "What we feared has happened," said the Belgium prime minister. Belgium has issued a level 4 alert and locked down the entire city. The attacks comes on the heels of last week's arrest of a central suspect in the Paris bombings by Belgian and French police.
BART riders may face an uncertain commute for the next few months. An electrical surge has crippled 58 cars in the fleet and service was entirely shutdown between the North Concord and Bay Point stations on Friday. BART is working to fix the problem, but the agency also made an unusually frank announcement on Twitter, stating that much of its system is at "the end of its useful life." Forum discusses BART's short-term reality and long-term fate.
Charter school advocates are seeking to double the number of students attending charter schools in California by 2022. One advocacy group is suing state school districts – including Oakland Unified – to be able to use more of their classrooms, even though the districts says they're strapped for space. In this hour of Forum we'll get the latest on the fight over charter schools in California.
Louis Armstrong's music blazed trails by popularizing jazz and breaking down racial barriers during a time of segregation. But despite the gains he helped black musicians achieve, Armstrong has also been accused of pandering to whites and of having, as Dizzy Gillespie put it, an "Uncle Tom-like subservience." A one-man play opening at ACT this week explores Armstong's complex legacy and his relationships with his longtime manager Joe Glaser and fellow trumpeter Miles Davis. Forum talks with actor John Douglas Thompson and playwright Terry Teachout about Satchmo's life and legacy.
Louis Armstrong makes an appearance in this Betty Boop cartoon about 30 seconds in.
John Douglas Thompson did a little sampler for the New York Times:
Why did Silicon Valley take root in the San Francisco Bay Area and not, say, in Texas? And why do so many attempts at replicating Silicon Valley fail? Journalist Eric Weiner tackles that question in his latest work, "The Geography of Genius," a globe-trotting investigation into the secrets of human ingenuity. And tell us — why is the Bay Area so conducive to innovation?
Raised in Stockton, Taylor Mac tells a story of how he stole away to San Francisco as a teen and saw gay people for the first time during a pride parade. The playwright, performance artist, and self-professed "radical, liberal queer" was named by the Village Voice as New York City's best actor in 2013. Mac returns to the Bay Area this month with a show that was inspired by that long-ago visit to San Francisco, "A 24-Decade History of Popular Music."
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "Olive Kitteridge" captivated readers with that collection of short stories centered around a retired schoolteacher and small-town drama in rural Maine. She'll join us to discuss her newest book, "My Name is Lucy Barton," which examines the complex relationship between a mother and her seriously ill daughter.
With just weeks to go before the Iowa caucuses, political rhetoric is at a fever pitch. Fortunately, help is on the way: veteran reporter David Mark joins us to discuss his new book "Doubletalk: The Language, Code and Jargon of a Presidential Election."
On Monday, protesters from an offshoot of Black Lives Matter shut down traffic for about 30 minutes on the westbound Bay Bridge. Twenty-five people were arrested after they chained themselves to vehicles that blockaded the bridge. The action was organized by Black.Seed, which describes itself as a "Black, queer liberation collective." In a statement, the group said it shut down the bridge in solidarity with Martin Luther King Jr. and to take a stand against racism.
Can certain perfumes help Alzheimer's patients recall memories? Could implanting a robotic eye help a blind man see? Berkeley journalist Kara Platoni explores these questions in her new book, "We Have the Technology: How Biohackers, Foodies, Physicians, and Scientists Are Transforming Human Perception, One Sense at a Time." She joins us to talk about cutting-edge perceptual technology and what it means for our evolution.

Nicknamed the "Queen of Gospel," singer Mahalia Jackson became a global sensation with her hit single "Move On Up a Little Higher" in the late 1940s. She also brought her powerful voice to the civil rights movement, and made history alongside her friend Martin Luther King, Jr., at the March on Washington in 1963. Now her life's story is brought to the stage with the West Coast premiere of Sharon Scott's musical "Mahalia Jackson: Just As I Am." Scott joins Forum to discuss Jackson's life and perform her music.
Tens of thousands of acres of almonds, citrus fruits and other drought-stricken crops in the Central Valley currently use oilfield wastewater for irrigation. But little is known about the potential impact on the environment or human health from the use of the wastewater, which may contain chemicals from oil drilling. The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board has now formed a panel of experts to research safety issues surrounding this practice, which has been touted as an innovative water-saving solution in a time of drought.

Michelle and I had a wonderful time at Kristján's Kolsstaðir cottage. It was an off the beaten track experience. We were able to view the November 2016 super moon which illuminated the entire valley and mountain ranges. I would highly recommend this location for a couple getaway and a place to relax and unwind.Chris2016-11-15T00:00:00Z
WOW one of the best places I've ever had the pleasure of staying anywhere in the world!! We even got to see the Northern Lights! I only wish we had more time! A truly special place on earth, just what we wanted!Shawna2016-02-12T00:00:00Z
What a beautiful spot on this earth! We had an unforgettable week full of quiet, snow, northern lights and happiness. Kristjan and Lilja are perfect hosts. They prepare a warmest welcome in their cosy cottage and help in different occasions – like northern-light-alarm :-) We will come back!!!marcel&ada2014-12-29T00:00:00Z
This place is really awesome! and as cozy and beautiful as you can see on the pictures here. Friendly horses are really friendly. Every morning they came to the cottage and watched how we were sleeping. We became friends with some of them and of course we took a lot of pictures just near the house. A perfect place for hiking and walking between mountains. Nice waterfall just near the cottage. We had no car and license and Kristjan made us a favor and picked us up to Kollstadr village. Instead of 2-hours-driving Kristjan decided to show us some beautiful places and it was really awesome! He showed us more interesting places than we had seen before in 4 days. So if you want a transfer - just ask about it, that is not expensive. And Kristjan told us a lot of interesting, curious and funny stories. The best place we've ever been! I tired of saying thankful words all the time but one more - THANK YOU!Alexey 2014-10-16T00:00:00Z
A beautiful cottage in a magical location. A peaceful and inspiring place, with nature literally at your door and views across a valley to the sea beyond. Our hosts were very welcoming, and provided us with plenty of information about the local area and directions to the cottage. We arrived to find breakfast waiting for us in the fridge - skyr, eggs, chocolate milk, cream and coffee - and plenty of additional larder items, which were most welcome. There is a small basic supermarket and a lovely harbourside cafe at Budardalur, a short drive away. The cottage is wonderfully placed for touring around the west of Iceland - there is a lot to see and do, but even so we decided to kick back and spend some time at the cottage just to enjoy the peace and quiet. A longer stay next time, I think! The cottage is gorgeous, beautifully kept and everything we needed was provided. The beds were comfortable, the linen plentiful. I can't describe the glorious view from the living room window - you must go and see for yourself! Highly recommended.Janet2014-06-22T00:00:00Z
What a wonderful time ! We had the chance to experience a storm the first night and a clear sky with northern light the second. It is hard to leave a comment on this house because we would like to keep it secret only for us! Thank you Kristjan.Babinard2015-12-08T00:00:00Z
Beautiful place and an amazing plot of land. A truly special experience spending a few days there.Nick2016-10-07T00:00:00Z
Where to even begin... The cabin was absolutely amazing!! We spent our honeymoon here and couldn't be more happy with it. Kristjan had a book with tons of information, and things to do. We did almost everything he recommended. We hiked the property, saw the Elven fortress, visited the hot spring, shopped at the local market, and tons more. It was so perfect! Kristan and Lillijan really did think of everything. They even left us some local yogurt in the fridge :) I wrote a blog post about our trip (URL HIDDEN) that goes into detail about how wonderful the cabin, and our trip in general was. Thank you again, we can't wait come back!Carissa & Danny2016-06-09T00:00:00Z

Sigríður was perfect host, she gave us more information we could ever imagine about Ísafjörður and all the placec around it. The house is very comfortable, clean and you will feel very soon as at home. I have to say, that this place was one of the best we stayed in Iceland.Jan2015-05-14T00:00:00Z
Accueil sympathique, Sigga met à disposition toutes les infos touristiques que l'on pourrait trouver au point info situé en ville! Appartement spacieux, bien situé, propre, et bien équipé (très utiles, la machine à laver et le sèche-linge :)Claire2016-08-06T00:00:00Z
A lovely modern, clean house with all the comforts of home - even bathrobes and chocolates! Very welcoming! Plenty of tourist information and beautiful photo books of IcelandSuzanne2015-09-30T00:00:00Z
Wonderful host and wonderful place to stay. Sigga was so helpful with recommendations in the local area as well as advice on the next leg of our trip. Can't recommend highly enough and will definitely stay there again!austin2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
Sigriður is a very nice person. She greeted us as soon as we parked our car outside and let us in immediately. Her place is great, the beds are very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. I would definitely stay there again.Martin2016-12-01T00:00:00Z
Our stay at Sigga's place was absolutely perfect. Sigga is a wonderfully warm and welcoming personality who made sure that every last detail of our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. She is perhaps the most responsive AirBnb host I've ever communicated with, and complemented with her caring nature we had nothing but positive interactions with her. Sigga has thought through everything you might need, so if you forget any toiletry or cooking spice, it's already there waiting for you. Wonderful kitchen to cook in. Laundry machines. Large bedroom and living space. Updated furniture and comfortable beds. Fast wifi. There were even delicious Lava Chocolates waiting for us on the pillows. All in all, 10/10 for this experience -- wouldn't have wanted to discover Ísafjörður any other way!Frankie2016-10-19T00:00:00Z
Sigga was a great host ! She spent some time to advise us on places to visit near Isafjordur, good restaurants... The place was very good, clean and confortable. The only thing to mention is that the accomodation is not really an entire accomodation since it is connected to Sigga's house...Adrien2015-09-16T00:00:00Z
This was a very nice place in Isafjordur with beautiful views. Sigridur was very accommodating and her place had all the comforts of home including a hair dryer and towels. Definitely a place to stay in if you're traveling to Isafjordur.Danica2016-05-25T00:00:00Z

We have spent really nice time in Audur's place. The cottage is cute and well furnished ! Audur's indications have been really useful to arrive in the cottage. I would recommend to stay in Audur's cottage if your are visiting Stykkisholmur area.Marion2016-07-08T00:00:00Z
A cozy cottage, overall okay.Jennifer2015-11-05T00:00:00Z
Superb location, very nicely appointed and equipped cabin, ideal base for exploring this peninsula. Cosy even in sub-zero external temperatures. Lashings of water for hot showers. Did not meet hosts but communication was prompt and friendly.Benji2015-10-28T00:00:00Z
The cottage was very cozy and conveniently located! It was also beautifully decorated and very clean. It was slightly crammed for 5 people though. The wifi also stopped working halfway through our night.Ming Zhen2016-03-20T00:00:00Z
The cabin was cozy and comfortable. It was just what we were looking for in our Iceland adventure; modern while still feeling like it belonged in the isolated setting. The area around the cabins were beautiful and only a few minutes from the nearest town. Audur's directions were perfect in getting us to this place as we didn't have a GPS with us, just a map.James2016-04-20T00:00:00Z
Host communicated clearly; safe box to retrieve key. Finding the cabin was fine, area was secluded. Cabin was pretty well equipped, warm, cozy and inviting. The only thing that snagged was the boiler that kicked in and out every 10 minutes all through the night - there was no way to turn it off and it was in the bedroom.Melissa2015-11-11T00:00:00Z
The cabin was a highlight of our trip! Super cozy, warm, and clean. The area is beautiful, secluded but a quick drive to the main town of Stykkisholmur. We could have easily stayed longer, and will recommend to anyone traveling through the area! Perfect for 2 to 3 people, more if you don't mind it being a bit cramped.Jessica2016-03-17T00:00:00Z

Ólafur's lejlighed var rigtig fin og ren. Min oplevelse at bo der var positiv. Der er god plads i alle værelsene - badeværelset, køkken/stue og soveværelserne. Man kan høre naboerne lidt (småbarnsfamilie), men det generede ikke mig. Beliggenheden er super fin - lige på hovedgaden tæt på alt.Marjaana2017-01-04T00:00:00Z
This apartment is beautiful and very well decorated. Clean, tidy and pretty. Very happy to recommend it.Mhairi2016-04-04T00:00:00Z
The flat was nice, clean, and very beautiful. Ólafur was very helpful and the rest of his family as well. Great place for a small family! Would highly recommend it.Mike2016-06-19T00:00:00Z
Loved the location and old world charm. Ólafur was responsive and friendly. The apartment was clean, quiet and accurately described in the listing. Unfortunately, it smelled like stale cigarette smoke when we arrived, but opening up the windows helped. Nice to have a grocery store and plenty of easy parking across the street. While you are in town, don't miss eating at Tjoruhusid!Jamie2015-08-21T00:00:00Z
We stayed at this beautiful apartment in the centre of Isafjordur for 5 days last week, as a base for our Westfjords tour and it was perfect. We loved everything about it, it has a very convenient location (next to the supermarket and the bakery), lots of light and space, and a spectacular view over the bay. The kitchen had everything we needed for our cooking needs (although we didn't cook as much as we had planned, having discovered very good restaurants in town within walking distance) and the upstairs bedrooms were very comfortable. Our 4 year old loved playing in the outside balcony and we even had a guest visit from the neighbours' black cat once (very friendly and apparently loves canned tuna :)Tania2014-08-03T00:00:00Z
A nice stay in this flat. Light full and charming. Exactly what we were looking for ! Nice view and great situation in the town.steve2015-02-16T00:00:00Z
The apartment was a beautiful base from which to explore the West Fjords. It had a beautiful view and was very comfortable for our family.Wendy2015-06-24T00:00:00Z
Olafur's place is in an incredible location at the center of Isafjordur. Waking up to see the fjord from the bedroom every day was like a dream and being able to access the entire town within a few minutes walk was fantastic. Our flight back to Reykjavik was cancelled due to bad weather and Olafur was very accommodating in allowing us to stay for an extra night, we would have been stuck otherwise. I would recommend this place without hesitation to anyone travelling to Isafjordur.Rohan2014-10-27T00:00:00Z

Simply our very best experience in Iceland , we had the chance to stay 3 nights at thorun's cottage and it was just fantastic the cottage is extremely cozy and everything is well thought The only negative point is that you feel so good inside is that you won't go outside We highly recommend long stays, you will regret to stay only one night !Fouad2016-09-07T00:00:00Z
The host forgot to give us the code for the house key. The path to house was terrible and she did not feel like mentioning before we arrived.Vineeth2016-07-30T00:00:00Z
This cabin was an utterly charming, lovely place to stay in Isafjordur. The cabin is very well laid out, comfortably furnished, and well appointed. There is a grill on the deck, the bed and linens are very comfortable, the shower is great, and pleasant views. We could not have been happier. It was the best cabin we stayed at in two weeks traveling around Iceland. The cabin is in an area with about 12-15 other cabins, but the way it is situated you feel like you are on your own. Once you turn off the main road, follow Thorunn's directions to get to the cabin itself. We tried our gps and (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps first, and both were useless-- but it's not too hard to find if you follow the host's directions, though it might be harder if it had been dark. Overall, I can't recommend this place highly enough.Sarah2016-08-12T00:00:00Z
The cabin was very clean and cosy. Þórunn made sure that everything was ready, and gave clear directions. When we had guests for a BBQ, the propane ran out, which was promptly replaced by Þórunn's sister. If you are travelling in the Isafjordur area, this cottage make a wonderful and restful home base.Charles2016-06-14T00:00:00Z
This cabin was great! It was nice and cozy and we had a great view of the northern lights from the front porch. The town was so nice and had amazing restaurants. It makes me wish I lived there!Lauren2016-10-25T00:00:00Z
There's a reason this cabin is hard to get a reservation for - it's lovely, cozy and well-situated. We wished we could spend several nights here but were only able to get the cabin for one night. We especially enjoyed the spacious deck with its fantastic view of the surrounding mountains, and the plentiful supply of candles to light our late-night dinner. Even though there are other cabins in the neighborhood, it feels secluded thanks to all the trees.Lonelle 2016-08-17T00:00:00Z
The cabin was one of the highlights of our trip. A perfect place to stay in. Very cosy and nice. The direction instructions were very clear. One thing to notice is that you should arrive before the sun set, otherwise it would be difficult to find the entrance. Definitely would recommend this place. And i hope to come back again. 5 starsEyad2016-10-14T00:00:00Z
My husband and I loved our stay here. It is a cozy little cabin just up the hill from the city. Thorunn was easy to reach with any questions and gave instructions on how to use everything. The only thing to note is that it is a true getaway- no wifi or TV. Great place!Alicia2016-06-10T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay and Ella was a great host. We had the place to ourselves during our stay in March so we got the room with the big window, it had an amazing view of the town, water and mountains. Access to a hot tub which was all ready to go was an extra bonus! The place is super organized and it was a perfect spot to rest during our visit. Ella also gave us great recommendations on areas to visit.Melissa2014-03-28T00:00:00Z

Audur was so nice and friendly giving as a lot of information about the cottage and places to see and visit. For example the tip to visit the swimming hall was great, kids really enjoyed it. Too bad we didn't have more time to spend in the cottage. Next time!Hanna2016-10-14T00:00:00Z
A HIDDEN GEM! Fantastic remote location (but only 10 minute drive into town for groceries / restraunts). The cottage is cosy and very well equipped with cooking utensils (and a pod coffee machine!) Very easy to do your own cooking. The heater in the living area isn't overly warm, but there's plenty of blankets provided and an extra portable heater if you need it. We had 3 people stay and the cottage was big enough. Plenty of things to do if the weather prevents you from leaving - movies on TV, board games). The best part was being able to see the Northern Lights from the porch due to the remote location! Audur was quick to reply with any queries and gave us helpful information about weather / road conditions during our stay. A great place to stay for a couple of nights if you plan to explore the SW coast of Iceland!Kirsten2017-02-25T00:00:00Z
The stay at this beautiful little cottage was all we could have hoped for during our weekend getaway. It's beautifully situated, very quiet and clean and with all the amenities you might need. I'd definitely recommend staying here!Tallulah2016-10-16T00:00:00Z
We enjoyed staying at this place and it was a good location as a base for exploring west Iceland. It was pretty dark outside without any street lights, so make sure you have a flashlight or torch handy especially at night. Thank you for making sure our stay went smoothly!kevin2016-12-30T00:00:00Z
This is a lovely cottage with an amazing location and a cozy interior. We saw the northern lights from the front porch during our stay there!Mario2017-03-18T00:00:00Z
Cottage is small but fit perfectly for 4 asian people. Gravel road is a bit difficult to drive through. Location is great for Northern light hunting. Fully equipped kitchen (included oven and BBQ stove) is excellent for family like us. Heating system wasn't warm enough , just only one radiator in the cottage. Thanks to a little electric fan heater help us to stay warm over night.Kittikhun2017-03-16T00:00:00Z

We absolutely loved staying in Audur's cabin! It was absolutely beautiful and a highlight of our trip. We had a question about the stove and she came right over within a couple minutes and helped us. Check in was very easy and flexible. The cottage had enough amenities for us to make nice meals every night, and a great warm shower. The cottage was warm and cozy, and had a beautiful view out all of the windows. Perfect! Would absolutely recommend this cabin to anyone coming to Iceland!Kevin2016-12-16T00:00:00Z
Great e-mail and text communication before arrival. Not on hand to meet us but this was not a problem as everything was well explained in the cottage. The cottage is very new. It is really nicely decorated and very well equipped. The bedroom area was great for the kids and would even sleep 2 adults plus 1 child if needed. The sofa bed was perfectly comfortable and big enough for me and my 190 cm husband. The views over the fjord and the surrounding area were just lovely. Shame we only had 1 night there, would have happily stayed longer. Very quiet area but easily accessible from the main road.Denise2016-08-17T00:00:00Z

This was a great little house right in the middle of Isafjordur, within walking distance to some fabulous restaurants and bakeries. We had a wonderful time at Arni's place. There was some construction going on in the yard and on the outside of the house, so there was a bit of a mess, but the work was not done during our stay, so no construction noise or workers outside. The house was a little dusty, but that is my only complaint. I loved the heated entryway and bathroom floors, it was great to have a fully furnished kitchen and we slept very comfortably. I would definitely recommend this place, and hope to go back myself! we never met Arni in person, but he was very helpful and responsive through email and we did meet his son, he was very friendly and helpful as well. Thank you both for helping us enjoy our time in Isafjordur!Erin2015-04-19T00:00:00Z
Convenient location, clean, had nice amenities. The heated tile floor and shower are fantastic!Maggie2015-10-14T00:00:00Z
We fell in love with this really nice bungalow and were sad to leave!A cosy and pretty place where we were happy to go back after a day out in the West Fjords.Great place for a family (we were a couple and a child). We didn't meet Arni as he was abroad,but it was really easy to communicate with him when we had questions. We had a tour with his beautiful Icelandic horses and liked a lot this experience. Auður was a really nice tour guide!Many thanks,Arni!Alexandra2015-08-07T00:00:00Z
Arni's place was great! Very clean and well presented. The small door entry is deceptive - the main room has tall ceilings with great mood lighting along the beams. Loft space would sleep two people (or serve as hideout if you have kiddos). Communication with Arni was easy too. I would stay here again when in Ísafjörður!Patrick2016-09-26T00:00:00Z
House was great, probably a bit too tight for 4 people but great for 2. Everything was nice and clean. The projector is a huge bonus.Ikay2016-04-28T00:00:00Z
Our stay with Arni's was very pleasant. The house is very spacious and good equipped. The kids loved the upper room and big screen TV. Arni provided all the information we needed and let us have the house all for ourselves which was great too.Primož2016-05-11T00:00:00Z
Nice apartment. Enjoyable tv projector with large choice of channel. Tall persons like me have t beware of low doors, my head hurts a bit. Altogether nice 3 days stay. Not possible for families with you ones as the second beds is elevated (above the kitchen) with no fall proof device.RICHARD2014-08-09T00:00:00Z
Super cosy, modern apartment in central Isafjordur! Perfect place to stay for the night while exploring the West Fjords! Great amenities, including TV and Wifi. Would recommend this place and stay here again!Catlin2016-09-23T00:00:00Z

We loved Jóna's home. The space was more like an apartment, in that the room and bathroom were separate from the rest of the house. There was a large flatscreen with Netflix and some basic utensils like cups, plates and a toaster so you could make a simple dinner or breakfast at home. It was very clean and spacious. The location was great too!Abby2016-08-31T00:00:00Z

Jona's place is a great place to stay. It's close to everything! Just a couple blocks into town and some of the best restaurants. Jona's place was also extremely clean and just as pictured. Great for solo traveler or a couple. I would definitely stay here again!Erin2016-07-15T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful town! Isafjordur had such a neat atmosphere which was extrapolated by the kindness of our hosts. Very private and clean.Justin2016-07-16T00:00:00Z
The stay was very nice and beyond my expectation, the host was very considered and helpful. The accommodation was cosy clean, and comfortable it's in a perfect location close to everything. The view in front of the house is fantastic; the ocean and the mountains is breathtaking. I would recommend this Airbnb to my friends. Thank you.Inga 2016-05-09T00:00:00Z
It was a very pleasent stay. Although we have nerver met Jóna we had a good communication and we knew where the key and the other stuff was. His house is situated in the center of the town. The house very clean and tidy. All in all it was perfect stay and we would definetley recommend it. Thank you Jóna for the pleasent stay.Sandra2016-08-20T00:00:00Z

While exploring the West Fjords, we stayed here and it was incredible! This is the best Airbnb I have ever experienced. They made sure we had all the directions needed before the trip and even emailed me the day of letting me know they were expecting us. It was all about the little touches that made our time at their home so welcoming. The room was cozy and we could see the horses outside, we explored the beaches which are a minute walk from the house. Seals were resting on the rocks near by and it was a once of a lifetime experience for us. The breakfast they made was so thoughtful and delicious. Such a cute and beautiful home. We met a few other people there too that were traveling from all over and it was nice to chat with them. We loved sitting in the living room and getting to know our hosts. They were so easy to talk to. This is a memorable experience we will take with us.Renee2016-08-13T00:00:00Z
The stay at Laugabol farm was absolutely amazing. We're sorry we only booked for one night, as we could have enjoyed riding, swimming in the pool and the hot tub for another day... It is also a great place to have long walks in the surrounding area. Thanks!!Sina2016-07-08T00:00:00Z
Die Unterkunft liegt wunderschön! Natur, Meer, Tiere.... Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Es war ein toller Aufenthalt.Johanna2016-07-05T00:00:00Z
This was the absolute best AirBnB I have stayed at. After getting myself lost, Lilja was so helpful in redirecting us to her home, and then was extremely welcoming. The house and location was beautiful, and they took time to have breakfast with us and talk to us all morning. Absolutely wonderful couple, and such a wonderful stay. If I ever come back to Iceland, I would definitely want to visit again!Jean2016-05-30T00:00:00Z
I cannot speak highly enough of Lilja's place. From start to finish, we had such an amazing time. My partner and I had a LONG day before arriving and gave her a heads up we would be coming in late--she messaged back immediately saying no problem and was there to greet us when we arrived. Her property is GORGEOUS! We met her horses, swam in her pool, and enjoyed breakfast in her and her husbands wonderful company. It is hands down the best place I've stayed in Iceland--I feel 100% confident I'll be back someday :) Lilja, thanks so much!!Meagan2016-08-11T00:00:00Z
Lilja and her husband Arnie were very friendly, interactive hosts who provided an authentic Icelandic experience. Their property is amazing - we walked down to their own private beach to see seals lazing about only 20m away. The room was clean, bed comfortable and breakfast was delicious with lots of options! We loved meeting them both, as well as other travellers, and learning about their lives on the farm. It would be so great to stay again! Thank you!Laura2016-07-26T00:00:00Z
Laugabol was ideally situated for our trip to Arnarfjordur. All facilities were just perfect. Arni entertained us with his stories and was most helpful in his suggestions and Lilja was really friendly. - Iceland being small we found all sorts of connections between us.Inga2016-07-22T00:00:00Z
It was a great experience. Lilja and Arne are super friendly and helpful. I wanted somewhere quiet I could spend sometime on my own but at the same time not being isolated and the farm was the perfect match. Breathtaking views, interesting walks and lovely people. Couldn't wish for moreNegin2016-06-25T00:00:00Z

Although our stay was very brief, we were very pleased with Sunna's accommodations. She made sure to tell us far in advance that the local store closes early. Drangsnes is a tiny and lovely little seaside town. We took advantage of the hot pots down by the water and had them all to ourselves. The apartment is a very good and comfortable size, and the kitchen contained all the necessary utensils and appliances needed for cooking. From the apartment, you can see the bright orange lighthouse on the island of Grímsey in the distance. We would gladly book with Sunna again!Logan2016-10-27T00:00:00Z

Sunna has been a perfect host. She was kindly waiting for us and let us in explaining everything about the apartment and the town. The studio has everything inside, is very clean and the view over the fjord is amazing. Drangsnes is a lovely place bright and quite. I suggest to have a bath in the hot tub over the sea!carlo2016-08-06T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely stay at Guesthouse Sunna this weekend. The apartment is surprisingly spacious with amazing views in every direction. I can definetly recommend this 100%, and Drangsnes is just the best place ever.Ásta Dagmar2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
The private room was great. We had everything we needed. The town is small, so make sure you know where your next meal is coming from! Our highlight was the hot pots on the ocean - they were magnificent. A great place from which guests can go on to explore the Westfjörds.Martha2015-07-22T00:00:00Z
Sunnas apartment is a nice place to Start your journey into the westfjords. There is everything you need and its clean. You have a nice view from your windows. Especially worth mentioning are the provided bathrobes for the hot tubs, which are very great after a long Day of hiking and driving the car.Claudia2016-07-06T00:00:00Z

We had a great time in this house and it was the best part of our wonderful trip around iceland. The nature is really great, we miss the amazing view while we had a delicious breakfast. But the best was to meet so many interesting people - the host are so nice and helpful. This place ist perfect and we will come back!!!Vlavia2016-09-08T00:00:00Z
Our stay here was, by far, the highlight of our trip to Iceland and probably our best AirB&B experience to date. It was well worth the drive to get there and we were so glad we ventured up into the Westfjords away from the crowds of tourists. So peaceful, beautiful, and relaxing. The hosts were also a joy to be with and they made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Our only regret was that we did not stay longer. We will definitely return again. 10 out of 10!Andrew & Tara2016-07-08T00:00:00Z
we wished we could have stayed longer. we felt right at home and learned so much about the area from our gracious hosts.Lily2016-07-10T00:00:00Z
Lilja was amazing. It was all exactly what she said and more. Location was incredibly remote and stunning. Lilja gave us advice for where to go and what to do, giving us an amazing scenic hike. Breakfast was included and plentiful, more than sufficient. The rooms were big and clean, lots of space and privacy. She has many guests staying with her at the same time. It was also nice to talk with other travellers. When we left, we were told the best route to take to our next destination. It was the best Airbnb we've stayed in so far!Stephanie2016-07-21T00:00:00Z
This was an amazing experience! Lilja and her partner were so friendly and welcoming! The property is located off the beaten path in a remote area. It was incredible! Horses, seals, birds, natural swimming pool, and great stories from Lilja! I highly recommend staying here!LINDSEY2016-07-15T00:00:00Z
This was a great stop for us, one of the best of our entire trip! Lilja and Arne were very welcoming and nice. Their house is wonderful and there is so much to enjoy and see around. There are horses, sheep, seals, arctic foxes, all kinds of birds...a beautiful landscape...everything one needs to relax and enjoy nature. Arne took us to the lighthouse where the scenery is absolutely fantastic: the view over a sequence of fjords on a sunny day is simply spectacular. Plus an incredible rock wall that I particularly appreciated, as a geologist... We also had the chance to see Arne fishing a trout in the river..and ate it afterwards! Recommend to go there and spend a few days at least. We only stayed one night and that was not enough!!! There are also a pool and hot tub that we did not have the chance to enjoy unfortunately..We'll definitely try to go there again!!Giulia2016-06-13T00:00:00Z
What a lovely stay! We received a warm welcome from Lilja and her husband. They're a colourful duo! The place is great and located in an idyllic region. Would go back.Elizabeth2016-06-17T00:00:00Z
This may be my favorite Airbnb experience I have had! I have nothing but good things to say. Beautiful home, warm and welcoming hosts who did everything to make our stay fun and pleasant, gorgeous farm along the sea, I could go on and on! My friend and I were very sad when our days here came to an end. I would highly recommend!Elizabeth2016-06-12T00:00:00Z

We have been warmly welcome by Lilja and Arnie who gave us many information and advice about the surrounding. It was a totally relaxing place and provided with all the necessary. We definitively hope to come back one day !Aurore2016-08-23T00:00:00Z

We can highly recommend this B&B to all people travelling through the westfjords. Try to stay more than just 1 night there - as this was the only mistake we made. The area, house and the hosts are one of the best AirBnB experience we had so far.Christian2016-09-07T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful stay here! With warm, friendly hosts, a beautiful landscape, great breakfast, a hot pot with a view of the fjord, and comfortable beds, nothing was lacking. We would stay again :-)lara2016-08-30T00:00:00Z
Lilja hat uns sehr freundlich aufgenommen. In der familiären Atmophäre und den Räumlichkeiten haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Vielen Dank!Michael2016-07-20T00:00:00Z
As we came to Laugaból, Liljas husband Arnie was waiting for us in the door in front of the house and gave us a very warm welcome. Every thing was fine in the house. Lilja an Arnie are very nice an warm hosts and we felt like home. Thanks for all assistance and recommends for discovering the westfjords :-) We can recommend all of interested people this accommodation.Thomas2016-08-11T00:00:00Z
Lilja and Arni are the best hosts ever! They were very welcoming, making us feel like we were at home. Both are incredibly helpful and gave us alot of information and suggestions about what to do during our stay. The house is clean and the rooms are spacious with spectacular views on the fjord. We could use the fully equiped kitchen. As the location is rather remote - which is absolutely awesome - make sure to bring some food for lunch/dinner. A very rich breakfast was provided by the lovely hosts. The hot pot and the swimming pool are nice to relax in after a day of hiking. If you wish to explore the surroundings, I recommend to stay at least two nights. We had a wonderful tine at Laugabol farm and can definitely recommend staying there. Thank you very much for the wonderful time!Claudio2016-07-07T00:00:00Z
It was far better than i ever imagined. The host were very friendly and helpful offering advice on what to see and also where the cheapest gas and groceries in the West fjords are. The views are absolutely the best. Its just so much beauty and it's so quiet and peaceful. We had planned on leaving early and didn't end up leaving until after 1pm we chatted with our hosts, and then walked along the beach and watched seals play in the fjord for over an hour. Simply amazing. My wife and I are already talking about going back for 3 or 4 days next time we come just so we can really enjoy the peaceful setting on this beautiful and isolated peninsula.Dana2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

Lilja und ihr Partner waren äußerst liebenswürdig und haben es geschafft, dass wir uns echt zu Hause gefühlt haben. Sie hatten viele Tipps was man unternehmen kann und haben unsere tausend Fragen zu Land und Leuten geduldig beantwortet. Ihre vielen Geschichten aus ihrem bewegten Leben gaben uns einen tollen Einblick in isländische Kultur. Unerwarteterweise haben wir sogar ein reichhaltiges und leckeres Frühstück bekommen. Der Hof liegt sehr abgeschieden. Man sollte auf jeden Fall mehr als eine Nacht dort bleiben: a) weil der Weg weit ist und b) weil es wunderschön ist. Wir haben vom Wohnzimmer aus Wale und Robben beobachten können :-)Ingo2016-09-09T00:00:00Z
This place was amazing! We stayed two nights and wish we could have stayed longer! The house was fabulous, close to the ocean and a fairly unused walking path to a lighthouse. We saw the northern lights from the balcony of our room and even while we were lying on bed! The horses were spunky and cute! The seals each morning were fun to watch also. The family style breakfast with the other guests were awesome! It truly felt like home! Lilja and Arni were welcoming and extremely informative! They truly seemed to want to make sure we had the best time possible, they were present but not intrusive, and the room was lovely. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was large. This was our favorite stay in Iceland!Laurie2016-09-16T00:00:00Z
Our stay here will certainly be remembered as a highlight of our Iceland trip. I almost feel like I shouldn't go into detail about it, either, else I'd risk ruining many happy surprises for the reader. Wish we booked more days!Brock2016-07-02T00:00:00Z

Lilja was very welcoming. She is a great host and the accommodation was great. Our beds were comfortable and the room was clean. We woke up to a delicious breakfast and coffee made by her. She was very friendly and provided great insight into tourist things to check out. I would recommend this place for those staying in the Westjfords.Susanne2016-08-15T00:00:00Z
Lilja and her husband Arni welcome their guests to their home as if they are friends. They took the time to answer all of our questions, recommend some wonderful day hikes, and help us figure out where to drive the next day. The location is second to none with impressive views of the beautiful Westfjords. This is probably the best all-around Airbnb experience I've had. I recommend it to anyone heading to the Westfjord region of Iceland.Amanda2016-08-16T00:00:00Z
This was definitely our best stay in Iceland. Lilja's house is located in a really beautiful, peaceful and charming area. From the very beginning we felt like at home- we were welcomed by Lilja's husband and shared a nice conversation with him and other quests. It was lovely to share travel experiences with other travellers. We also enjoyed a lot walking around the farm, so close to horses and nature. In the morning we were welcomed by a very nice breakfast. Overall wonderful experience, I wish we could have stayed longer. Woonderful house and really great hosts - couldn't recommend more!Ania2016-07-23T00:00:00Z

It is quite a long drive from Reykjavik but it's definetly worth it! For us it was a greate place to experience icelandic live far away from tourist Hotspots. Our room was warm, large and very beautiful. The breakfast is very good. We liked the pool. Lilija and her husband are very helpful und friendly!!!Betti und Julius2016-06-26T00:00:00Z
The stay at Lilja's was awesome. The scenery, hospitality, breakfast and animals were all incredible. We would love to come again and would definitely recommend to stay here. It is worth the drive after the waterfall.Adam2016-08-15T00:00:00Z
We loved staying here! Wonderful hosts who treat you like family. Breakfast was great. If you go nowhere else in Iceland but here, you would be satisfied. It is very possibly the most beautiful place in Iceland (like a dream). Climbing Mountains, seals sunning on the rocks, sheep in the fields, making friends with horses, walks on the beach, a fox, hikes to waterfalls and rivers and lighthouses... This place is just stunning.Matthew2016-08-25T00:00:00Z
Love love love. Lilja is sooo funny and smart I loved my stay. Fascinating hosts, I could have stayed for weeks and would have if I could. I'm definitely going back. The area is breath taking.steve2016-07-09T00:00:00Z

Tucked away in the belly of mountains with the atlantic in its tow is Laugabol farm. There is no town for miles around. This is as close as you can get to nature. the house has a view of mountains from the front and the atlantic on the side. there are horses which are bred by the owners. We reached there about at about 10 in the night. Lilja was at the door to welcome us with a big smile. She gave us a house tour and talked to us as if we have known each other for ages, instantly making us feel that we are at the right place. The house is more cozy than the pictures. The beds are comfortable and took away all the stress from driving on gravel roads. At dinner, we had a long nice conversation with the other guests from Germany and France. It was refreshing and fun with all the jokes and leg pulling and experiences. In the night we got to see a spectacular display of the northern lights there. The isolation of the house makes it very easy to see the lights. Next day we met few more guests from Germany at the breakfast table. Lilja's husband was there to help us along with it, guiding us through various meats and cheese they had kept for us. Later he explained how to get to Akureyri in great details, giving us tips and info about the town's and the routs. This made is very easy for us to navigate. They have a small pet(in progress) fox at the farm. He is just adorable. Playful and always trying to get out of the harness. The parrot keeps saying things in Icelandic. It's a beautiful bird. Lilja and her husband are wonderful people.They make an isolated place in the wilderness a beautiful home. We wish we had booked a couple of nights more there because this was easily the best homestay/stay with Airbnb or otherwise that I have ever had. I would love to come back here. As Lilja said, this is something people should experience.Prateek2016-09-06T00:00:00Z
Absolutely breathtaking! Amazing hosts. So nice and welcoming. The farm and house was in a beautiful location and had amazing views. The pool and hot tub with the fjord view was so cool. Very nice rooms and very clean. Definitely the highlight of our trip to Iceland. Overall amazing!Daniel2016-08-20T00:00:00Z
The best AirBnB on Earth! Really this place is magic! Absolutely incredible. Pity we could stay only one night. You are in one of the remotest part of the Westfjords. Already the road to arrive there is breathetaking. You arrive at the Dynjandi Falls and the picture there is already amazing, but from a little road on the side you arrive to the paradise of Laugabòl. A lovely farm, the only one in the zone where lovely Lilja and her partner breed horses. A place for the soul, where you find calm, relax, beauty, time to think, an amazing natural hot tub in front of the Fjord and if you're lucky enough you can see also the seals visiting you in the morning. The house, the rooms and bathroom are great and so comfortable. It was an incredible time, the one spent there. I can't wait to do it again. Oh and I forgot little Seppi the arctic fox the pet of the house. I felt after few hours like already in a family. It was so hard to leave. Such an amazing stay. One of the most beautiful place I've ever been. It marks you, once you stay there you would never leave.Alessandro2016-08-23T00:00:00Z
It was a wonderful experience at a special place. Staying at the isolated Laugabol farm felt like being transformed into an entirely different world -- a much calmer and more natural world. Unfortunately we had a very long drive towards the farm and had already to leave the next morning, so we could barely touch the surface of this world. I would recommend staying here at lest 2-3 nights to adapt to the surroundings. The farmhouse itself is very spacious with up to five gust rooms and a larger kitchen and living room available. They also offer a hot pot and swimming pool which we couldn't try because of our limited time there. The breakfast in the morning was delicious with great local foods (even salmon!) being served. The hosts were very friendly and talkative. They gave us some tips for our travel back and showed us even their "pet" fox(!) which they are raising at the moment. It's certainly the most unusual and noncommerical AirBnB I stayed at in Iceland. Highly recommended!Andreas2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
Staying with Lilja was delightful. She was friendly, helpful and kind. Her home is absolutely breathtaking... we were able to explore the farm, beach, and pet her gorgeous horses. She also provided a delicious breakfast for us and allowed us to use her Hottub... so relaxing! Highly recommend to anyone (:Maggie2016-09-17T00:00:00Z

We had the most amazing stay at Laugabol. From our gorgeous room to the hot tub to the solstice midnight boat ride, it was the best day of our lives.Rachael 2016-06-21T00:00:00Z
Seals on the shore, wonderful setting... what more can I say that hasn't already been said. Lilja's husband took great care of us and patiently answered all my husband's questions (and there were a lot of them!) about life in Iceland. We were even lucky enough to meet Lilja the day after in a lovely little restaurant that Arnie recommended. I would love to spend an entire winter there!Jane2016-08-10T00:00:00Z

Product details
The Maple 5 Light Fitting would suit any contemporary home with its chrome finish.
- Material: Metal
- Effects and finish: Chrome finish
- Diameter of product: 45cm
- Maximum bulb wattage: 60W
- Requires wiring: Yes
- Bulb required: 5 x SES candle bulbs (sold separately)
- Usage: Can be used with low energy bulbs or on a dimmer switch
Maple Chrome 5 Lamp Chandelier is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from A striking adornment to the room. The design of this light fitting is truely striking and gives a modern edge to the traditional chandelier. The photograph does not do it justice at all. The combination of mirror-finished chrome and sparkling glass 'leaves' maximises the light output. It works beautifully against a silver-grey ceiling and rich red walls, but would enhance almost any colour scheme.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Very pretty/stylish First one had got sqashed, and some of the chrome effect finish had peeled, but was exchanged no problem, and I was allowed to check it before leaving shop. You have to move the arms round to make the shape. Fairly easy to put up, but you will need a second person to hold it while you wire it in, and it recommended electricians tape either side of connection, but starightforward. It doesn't come with bulbs, which were a bit pricey as you need five - it did say on box, but I hadn't noticed! Works well even with energy efficient bulbs, and looks very smart.

What if we don't like who we elected?
It's really doesn't matter what we think. Once elected to the House or Senate most House incumbents are re-elected 94% of the time and Senators are re-elected 83% of the time.(1) There are many reasons why politicians are re-elected but the most common reason is because we don't vote and when we do vote we have short-term memory loss of how bad some of our elected officials have represented us!
To change the current incumbent re-election nightmare the idea of 'term limits' has been re-introduced as a solution. A solution that requires a Constitutional Amendment as decided by the United States Supreme Court in 1995 in U.S Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton, 514 U.S. 779. (2)
Understanding the facts about term limits:
Pros and Cons for term limits: (common themes from varies researched sources)
Re-elections rates will decrease
Increase politicians to vote on principle
Creates an environment for lower taxes, less government, and more voter participation
Creates new ideas
Decreases the power of staff and lobbyist
Reduce the power of Congress because of the loss of control over bureaucracy
Loss of knowledge and experience
Increase the power of staff, lobbies, and bureaucracy
Terminates the good politicians along with bad
Facts about term limit support:
term limits for Congressional seats are supported by 73% according one of the lasted scientific poll(3)
Pulse Opinion Research Poll (2008) found that 83% polled supported term limits (4)
Grassroots efforts for 'term limits':
The National Term Limits Coalition and Smart Girl Politics have combined efforts to push for National Term Limits:
No member of the United States Senate may be elected for more than two (2) consecutive terms. No member of the House of Representatives may be elected to more than six (6) consecutive terms… (5)
Section 1.
No person shall be elected to the office of Representative more than four consecutive times, …
Section 2.
No person shall be elected to the office of Senator more than two consecutive times, and no person who has held the office of Senator, … (6)
Why is it so hard to create a Constitutional Amendment for term limits?
"Asking an incumbent member of Congress to vote for (congressional) term limits is a bit like asking a chicken to vote for Colonel Sanders."
~ Congressman Bob Inglis

Comparison of Two Types of Ankle Braces in the Management of Ankle Pain in Hemophilia
This trial is active, not recruiting.
|arthropathy due to bleeding from hemophilia
|carbon fiber ankle foot orthosis versus cast boot
|Oregon Health and Science University
|Start date
|September 2009
|End date
|June 2011
|Trial size
|27 participants
|Trial identifier
|NCT00972296, DOleson
This project proposes to examine the difference in effectiveness of fracture boots and carbon fiber braces in the management of gait abnormalities and pain relief due to ankle pain from arthritis due to ankle bleeds. Fracture boots are "walking casts" that you can put on and take off. They prevent the ankle from moving and have a curved sole to mimic normal walking. They can help relieve pain of ankle arthritis from ankle bleeds by stopping ankle motion and absorbing some of the body's own weight while walking. Carbon fiber braces use newer technology resulting in lighter and smaller braces. They are designed to assist with helping clear the toe and straighten the knee while walking.
Gait analysis wearing both the fracture boot and carbon fiber brace will be performed by walking on a mat equipped with pressure sensors and will examine the effect of the fracture boot and the carbon fiber brace on how you walk. These tests will be compared to walking on the mat without either brace. The sensors on the mat will measure different aspects of gait such as step length and foot position. You will be asked questions about how much ankle pain you have using no brace compared to each brace.
People with hemophilia A or B and ankle pain from bleeds will be asked to participate. They will be approached during routine clinic visits and will also be contacted by telephone.
Levels of pain will be measured before, during and after each trial using standardized visual analog and ordinal pain scales. Measurements from the gait mat and levels of pain relief will be used to determine effectiveness of each type of support.
Statisticians will be used to analyze results of the gait mat and pain scale measurements.

House in Elie Nr. St Andrews, Fife, Central Scotland, Scotland - A Few Hundred Metres From The Beach
A very imposing Victorian house which has been adapted to modern living in a sympathetic way. Only a few hundred metres from Elie's local shops, deli, pub and Michelin star restaurant.

Lovely house and garden for large groups
About the Owner
About Robert B Hare
We bought The Elms because of its symmetry and original features. We thought it was such a shame that the previous owners were hiding the character of the building so we set about doing something about it! My family just love the house and even though we have now bought another house in the village we just cannot allow ourselves to sell it. Most days as we travel to and from Edinburgh we always look over at the house and pass some comment or other about it! We have put our own wee stamp on the frontage as Jo made the stain glass window! So, we hope you enjoy it as we did.

Lovely house and garden for large groups
All 14 of us have had a lovely weekend in Elie staying at the elms. The house was well situated for everything in Elie. Having two sitting rooms was really good especially with kids and there was plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen was great and had everything you need. All the bedrooms were lovely and had comfortable beds. All 4 bathrooms were modern and well equipped. We have enjoyed the weekend so much that are looking to book up again for some time next year. The owner Robert was very friendly and helpful and was easily contacted if required. Would highly recommend this house to a large party looking to stay in Elie
Fantastic property for opur large group of friends !
This is the second time we have stayed at The Elms and this was another fantastic holiday. The Elms is extremely spacious, luxurious and well presented it is also well kitted out for your every need with some lovely luxurious touches such as the jacuzzi bath !
Location and Facilities are fantastic too, huge back garden with patio and games room/conservatory, everyone enjoyed football on the lawn and at the mini fusball table ⚽
I would highly recommend staying at The Elms. It's location in Elie is fantastic and walking distance to the all the beaches pubs incl ship inn & 19th hole, shops, coffee shops & bakery.
Thanks also again to Robert for accommodating our yearly friends get together much appreciated :) hopefully be in touch for next year 👍𣐼
Perfect Venue for Family Christmas
A stunning home in a beautiful spot. This was the perfect venue for our family Christmas. The property was immaculate and beautifully decorated for Christmas and Santa's arrival!! It was spotless and the perfect combination of traditional property with modern luxury. The owners attention to detail ensured that we felt very welcome and at home instantly....after running around exclaiming at all the beautiful touches! Can not recommend this property high enough and I am trying to think of a good reason to book again in the near future.
Elie itself is picturesque and everywhere we went the people were welcoming and friendly. Elie Deli is exquisite and the Ship Inn was a great place to enjoy a drink by the fire, even having some dog biscuits behind the bar for our four legged family member!
Activity and Interests
Elie's finest beach is a matter of a few hundred metres away - a 2 minute walk.
Elie is 42 miles from Edinburgh and Edinburgh Airport. St Andrews is only 16 miles away and Dundee 25 miles.

The object of my invention is to provide a lamp structure whose shaded electric lighting unit can be swung in a horizontal plane to almost any point within a circular area by combining a primary horizontal swing action pivoting about said lamp post and a secondary horizontal independent swing action pivoting about a swivel interconnecting a linkage of horizontal swing arms.
I attain these objects by mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings
FIG. 1 is a vertical section of the entire lamp showing the horizontal swing arms in a folded-up position.
FIG. 2 is a vertical section of the top rotating swivel portion or the swivel assembly.
FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view of said swivel portion.
FIG. 4 is a vertical section of the bottom portion of said swivel.
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the bottom portion of said swivel.
FIG. 6 is a partial bottom view of the lamp base assembly with the bottom closure plate removed and showing the lower swing arm in zero position against a stop pin and the upper swing arm slightly swung out.
FIG. 7 is a vertical section on the line 7--7 of the lamp post assembly showing its connection to the lamp base.
FIG. 8 is a fragmentary bottom view of FIG. 7.
Similar numbers refer to similar parts thru out the various views.
A lamp base unit 10 comprising a heavy lamp base 1 having a tapped hole thru its center into which is screwed and secured by a locknut 23 a round tubular stem 2 which protrudes slightly into the bottom recess of said lamp base 1 and extending vertically upward, said tubular stem 2 having a uniform inside diameter thru out its entire length to serve as a sleeve bearing for an inner tube 3 which rotates within it and serves as a support and electrical wire chase for the entire horizontal swing arm linkage assembly branching from a cap 5 fastened to the top end of said inner tube 3 by means of a threaded nipple 24. Said inner tube 3 resting with said cap 5 on the open top end of said tubular stem 2, said inner tube 3 having a shoulder recess turned on its bottom end which protrudes slightly beyond the bottom end of said tubular stem 2 when assembled together and by having a lug washer 4 fastened to said shoulder recess, said inner tube 3 will be retained in said lamp base unit 10 to rotate freely with a minimum of end play.
Said lug washer 4 is keyed or staked to said shoulder recess at the bottom end of said inner tube 3 to prevent radial shift and is fastened thereto by a flanged nipple 25. From said cap 5 extends horizontally a tubular arm 6 terminating in the bottom portion 7 of a swivel which has a hole thru its center serving as a sleeve bearing for a tubular stem 8 extending from the top portion 11 of said swivel whose rotation is confined to less than one revolution by means of stop pins 9 and 13 mounted on the joint faces. One of said stop pins 9 is mounted on the top face of said bottom portion 7 of said swivel and extends into a annular groove at the bottom face of said rotating swivel portion 11 where it engages a pin 13 mounted in said groove for a positive stop of rotation. Said pin 13 is so located in relation to the linkage swing arms 6 and 12 that on clockwise rotation of said swivel portion 11 a stop will be effected when the upper swing arm 12 extending from said rotating swivel portion 11 will be parallel and directly above said lower swing arm 6. said top swivel portion 11 and said bottom swivel portion 7 are held together on assembly by a flanged nipple 14 screwed into the tapped bottom end of said tubular stem 8 which protrudes slightly into a counter bored recess in the bottom portion of said swivel 7 allowing for free rotation with little end play. Said recess is deep enough to accomodate the necessary electric wiring. The lighting unit assembly 30 incorporates said independent swing arrangement pivoting about said rotating swivel portion 11 from which extends said upper swing arm 12 and which terminates in a shallow inverted drum-like box 15 which serves as a housing for the required intermediate electric wire connections and also supports the shade assembly consisting of a shallow round shade 21 of large enough bottom diameter to cover up part of the swivel 11 and upper swing arm 12, a diffuser disc 22 for the top of said shade 21 a bottom closure disc 31 for box 15, a handknob 32 also standard electric light bulbs and socket cluster and other commerically obtainable components not specifically listed. Said lug washer 4 having a lug protruding from its circular body which will on counter clockwise rotation of said inner tube 3 contact a stop pin 17 mounted on said bottom recess of said lamp base 1 for a positive stop when the swing arms 6 and 12 are folded up and extending toward the rear of the lamp base 1 away from the switch as shown in FIG. 1 of the drawings for proper swing operation the direction of rotation of said inner tube 3 must be the opposite of the direction of rotation of said top swivel portion 11.
To said cap 5 is fastened a tubular handle 18 which is open at its bottom end and is extending cantilever fashion downward and amply clearng on rotation said stationary tubular stem 2 while rotating in unison with the inner tube 3. Only said lamp base unit 10 will remain stationary during swing opeation. Lifting the lamp by said handle 18 will arrest the swing action of the central swing unit assembly 20 pivoting about said lamp stem 2 and consisting in addition to said handle 18 also of said inner tube 3 said cap 5 said lower swing arm 6 and including said bottom swivel portion 7. Only said lighting unit assembly 30 pivoting independently about said rotating swivel portion 11 is free to swing when lifting the lamp by said handle 18. A sheet metal cover 19 will be applied to the lamp base 1 and a closure disc 29 for protecting the electrical wire connections is fastened to the bottom of said lamp base 1 with two flat head screws 28 and a felt pad cover 27 applied. The open end at the top and bottom swivel portions 11 and 7, also said cap 5 are plugged up with removable commercial snap-on hole buttons after the lamp is wired. A standard electrical fixture switch 26 is provided for the base 1.

My first dish -pata negra - was very good but the second dish - angus beaf with sauce béarnaise - was not what I was expecting: the béarnaise sauce was cold, I got exactly the same salad as with my pata negra and the beaf was not well cooked. I asked for "a point" but it... More

About the Movie
The whole world is looking for a hero, and it's up to a little pigeon named Valiant to step up and bravely serve his country. Valiant (Ewan McGregor) and his fine, feathered friends take to the sky on a wing and a prayer to prove that it's not your wingspan but the size of your spirit that truly counts. Together this rag-tag squadron of birdbrains engages in hilarious aerial adventures at a spitfire pace. From the first bumbling day of basic training through the final feather-raising mission, the flock of comical characters swoops their way toward victory. From the producer of Shrek and Shrek 2, Valiant delivers stunning animation, a top-flight voice cast, and an action-packed story loaded with laughs. It's a soaring family comedy that truly earns its wings.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Too inoffensive to engender the hostility once reserved for Howard the Duck.
Rotten: Despite a handful of good aerial 'birdfight' sequences, 'Valiant' fails to get off the ground due to a by-numbers script and dodo-ugly character design that add up to less than one would expect from 'Shrek' producer John H. WilliamsJohn H. William.
Rotten: An unconscionably dreary and amateurish-looking thing, and the rote plot and annoyingly predictable script -- a compendium of bird puns, mostly -- don't work nearly hard enough to make up for the hammy awfulness of the images.
Rotten: A passable animated feature that will entertain small children, but feels as if it was thrown together quickly.
Customer Reviews
No story, unintresting, and plain boring.
This film after watching the commercial and reading others reviews I took this film for a quick watch and after seeing it, it was a waste of money. Their is nothing great about it. The story is just cut bits and parts to seem intresting but it's not and just boring. And the characters who you would expect alot of have no life to them. Their just hollow and not really their.This is no disney classic and never will be in 10 years, 20 years, or 100 years from now. That and for the fact it's politically correct not historically correct Swastika being the biggest example since they show it no where in this film even though this is based in World War II. If you want a good story and a fun action film get The Rocketeer (it's even a G rated film,) it stays fun, intresting, and historically correct and has the adventure you want to see, even if it's one of the many very good underdog films of Disney's. Don't waste your money on this people it's not worth the $14 bucks. It should really end up in the bargain bin 3 for $10 bucks at your local Wal-Mart. Take it here it's a very poor film and doesn't exactly continue the Disney legacy in any good way.
Do Not Buy This Yet
This movie is way over priced. It's only about 75 minutes long, and it costs $14.99 to buy, as opposed to a movie double the length and only costing $9.99. The memory content isn't even worth a gigabyte, and you can get the DVD with a bunch of extra stuff for just a couple more bucks. Don't get me wrong, this is a great movie. One of my favorite animated films in fact. Just, don't buy it from Apple, it's way to expensive for what you're going to get. Or you can wait and hope they ower the price, you decide.
Really cute movie
It's one of my son's favorites.
