Would it make sense for dash & Airman to be selling 93% furnaces in their steamy climates? Not any more than forcing people in cool, short summers to spend hundreds to get a 13 SEER.

Where I work we're already pushing the 13 SEER units and customers so far seem to be very happy with them. We're a Trane dealer, and yes Trane has a 19.5 SEER unit using R22, the XL19i. But R22 is on the way out. 2010 will be the end of R22 systems. I installed an XL16i (16 SEER) 410a system with a variable speed air handler in a house last spring, went back to do her fall check up and she showed me her power bills since the inatsll. They actually decreased. I cant understand how someone can say that a higher SEER unit will cost more to operate.
The higher SEER R-12 units with fixed metering don't dehumidify well but they cool fast. Does 410 dehumidify as well as 10 SEER systems? I've heard its better but haven't had much experience yet myself.

"a toyota prius is basically a corrola with batteries, but twice the cost"
I just junked my Corolla when my new Prius arrived. The 1994 Corolla cost $13,700. The 2005 Prius cost $21,500. The Prius is a vastly superior vehicle, not counting the improved fuel efficiency. Even if it ultimately costs more to drive the Prius, it's still a much better car.
In the long run, with a little global warming, there will be fewer places with short summers, and those 13 SEER units will seem like a better idea than they do now. But I agree that it would be nice if the government did not ram this down our throats.

do you folks know why our founding fathers put the 2nd ammendment in the constitution? It wasnt to protect us from the British. Higher efficiencys are better for all of us if we are not hamstrung by bueocracy. Lets take a look at the energy providers.But we need to work together
You guys have it easy....
Our state legislaton has implemented duct testing be done with evry system installation or change out...
And this must be done by an independent agency, go figure tht cost....
Additionally effect this January our local municipality is requiring a matchign indoor coil change out, go figure...
we already have been required to insulate our linesets with 3/4" wall with UV protection, before you know it we will be isnulating our linsets all the way to the stub on the compressors...AllTemp Heating & Cooling

I am a small-time contractor. Never installed anything above a 12 seer as I have never been convinced that anything higher would be worth the money to my homeowners.
Have always tried to what what i thought was best for my customers. Alas, when the 'gods' above require it, then I must conform.
The 13 seer standard ? Is it an absolute law now, or does it still have to be voted on or something.
I know that the r-22 decline in 2010 is not law yet, but must still be passed as law
born riding, better brush up on the legislation that has ALREADY BEEN PASSED. This is not just idle conversation, but is just as much "etched in granite" as the demise of the 70% afue furnaces.
I am also AMAZED at your statement about not being able to justify the higher efficiencies to your customer. Are you being truthful with us here.... or is it just much easier to make the sale using lower efficiency, less expensive equipment? Sorry to hammer, but don't you believe your customers have a right to as efficient a system as possible?
If we take the path of least resistance, are we really doing justice to our customer? It sounds like you are one that will be taken "screaming and kicking" to the next level. I am curious, exactly when DO you belive it is in your customer's best interest to invest in high or higher efficiency equipment?
All temp: personally I would rather have control of ALL aspects of my job, from the electrical to the duct testing. If we have to think broader than what we do now, then that's what we have to do. Wouldn't you much rather be a one stop shop for your customer? We may have to ease out of our comfort zones, but that's just a result of our industry constantly evolving. If these areas are to become part and parcel within our industry, then we better learn to respond in a proactive fashion. It's gonna happen and is already happening in some markets, so we can grumble and moan all we want to, and get left in the dust in the process.
We, my friends, better start thinking WAY outside the box, or we will be a fatality of the process rather than an active participant in it.
I have used the illustration before. Going to a new $500+ custom home and having the homeowner ask me why in the world an 80% afue furnace was installed, when the 30 year old home he just left had a new high efficiency unit he had installed. He really felt short changed. I know, I know, our "friend" the builder did not want to provide a "complete custom package" and shortchanged his customer with what he requested from the hvac contractor.

Title: | Instituting a Value-Added Assessment System in Ohio: The Professional Development Implications from the Perspective of the District Value-Added Specialists |
Author: | Lloyd, James Louis |
Description: | Although much has been written about the various value-added models from a statistical point of view, there is a considerable lack of literature related to the professional development implications of value-added once a particular model has been chosen. This study illuminates and describes some of the professional development implications related to Ohio's scale up of its educational value-added assessment system from the perspective of those responsible for teaching its implications to others at the local level – the District Value-Added Specialists. Six research questions were explored using a survey instrument that was developed by the researcher. The results were reviewed and discussed. The practical implications of instituting a value-added assessment model include using value-added data with other forms of data in order to improve instructional practices. Suggestions were provided specific to Ohio's value-added scale-up and its impact on educators. |

Officers from three agencies arrest four in Poulsbo for drugs, identity theft
January 11, 2013 · Updated 6:01 AM
POULSBO – Officers from three agencies, including the U.S. Treasury Department, arrested four people for narcotics sales, trafficking in stolen property and identity theft Jan. 7 at a home in the 25000 block of Pioneer Way NW, Poulsbo.
A fifth person was arrested during a traffic stop in Kingston the next day.
A warrant was served on the residence and property as part of an ongoing investigation that began with a separate residential burglary case in December, sheriff's spokesman Deputy Scott Wilson said.
The search warrant was conducted by Kitsap County sheriff's detectives with assistance from the sheriff's regional SWAT team, sheriff's patrol deputies, a Poulsbo police detective and Treasury agents.
"Evidence from the execution of the search warrant in this case has led to the development of information concerning sales of narcotics, trafficking in stolen property and an elaborate identity theft scheme occurring at the residence," Wilson reported.
Those arrested and booked into Kitsap County Jail were:
Jana Marie Beck, 40, Poulsbo, delivery of methamphetamine. Bail: $5,000.
Lance William Larson, 40, Poulsbo, possession of methamphetamine. Bail: $2,500.
Sarah Ladean Redfern, 28, Poulsbo, identity theft, possession of heroin and possession of methamphetamine. Bail: $10,000.
Douglas Alan Ward, 51, Poulsbo, identity theft, possession of stolen property third degree, and maintaining a place/dwelling for selling and/or use of controlled substances. Bail: $50,000.
Krystal Elaine George, 26, of Poulsbo was arrested around 1:15 p.m. Jan. 8 during the course of a vehicle traffic stop in the 27000 block of Miller Bay Road NE, Kingston. She was booked into Kitsap County Jail on three outstanding warrants for failure to appear in court. Bail: $75,000.
Additional charges pertaining to the search warrant investigation are pending, Wilson reported.

U.S. oil production is suddenly growing so fast that some analysts are questioning how much the country really needs the Canadian tar sands oil that would move through the proposed Keystone XL pipeline.
This month, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said it expects domestic crude oil production to surge 20 percent by the end of 2014 from its level at the start of this year. That means an additional 1.4 million barrels of U.S.-produced oil will be available each day—about twice as much as the Keystone would bring in from Canada.
Although the United States will still need foreign oil for years to come, declining demand and increasing supply are cutting into imports surprisingly fast. The Energy Information Administration, which is the Energy Department's data reporting and forecasting arm, expects the nation to import just 30 percent of its oil needs next year, the lowest since the mid-1980s. Under one particularly optimistic EIA scenario, the U.S. could even achieve the grail of zero net imports in the 2030s.
Almost two months after a ruptured pipeline sent at least 210,000 gallons of oil flowing through a neighborhood in Mayflower, Ark., the line's owner—oil giant ExxonMobil—remains largely silent on the future of its failed pipeline.
Most of the visible oil has been removed from the neighborhood and the ruptured section of pipe has been replaced and reburied. Yet Exxon hasn't asked the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) for permission to restart the 850-mile Pegasus line, which runs across four states from Patoka, Ill. to Nederland, Texas.
A company spokesman said Exxon is simply being thorough and cautious.
Environmentalists suffered a setback on Tuesday when British Columbia re-elected a premier who left the door open for approval of two oil pipelines that would carry tar sands oil across B.C. to the Pacific Coast, where it could be exported to the world market.
Despite trailing in the polls, incumbent Christy Clark, the leader of B.C.'s Liberal Party, defeated Adrian Dix and his New Democratic Party. Dix had opposed both pipelines, and environmental groups had hoped his win would signal the end of the projects.
The two Canadian pipelines—along with the proposed Keystone XL pipeline across the United States—are crucial to the expansion of Canada's oil sands industry, which is based in the province of Alberta. The industry hopes to double in size over the next decade, but because Alberta is landlocked, more pipelines are needed to get the oil to the coast.
Like the Keystone project, the Canadian pipelines face grassroots opposition from local landowners and environmental groups.
Shareholders of one of the country's biggest hotel chains have struck down a resolution that would force the company to consider replacing energy-guzzling shower heads with more efficient ones—yet its backers are claiming victory.
Although only nine percent of Choice Hotels shareholders voted in favor of the resolution, the proposal is one of a handful of global warming resolutions that companies tried to dismiss in this year's proxy season—but that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said must be put to a vote. The trend reflects continued concerns by the SEC about the business risks of climate change.
"They're enforcing their rules in a way that allows a lot more climate-related resolutions to go through to a vote," said Rob Berridge, program manager at Ceres, a coalition of sustainability focused investors with $11 trillion in assets.
As if the public debate about global warming wasn't complex enough, a new field in climate research is coming of age, grabbing media attention and spawning seemingly contradictory headlines.
The work, called attribution research, doesn't challenge the scientific consensus that climate change is happening. Instead, it strives to understand the regional effects of global warming by determining whether increased greenhouse gas levels did—or didn't—cause a particular weather event. But the findings can be confusing. For instance, scientists say that climate change made Hurricane Sandy worse, but that it had nothing to do with historic floods in Thailand. Warming probably didn't cause this year's severe winter storm, Nemo, but it may have supercharged it. It caused some droughts, but not others.
Adding to the confusion is a trend that worries some experts: People on both sides of the climate divide tend to promote only those attribution studies that support their beliefs. Whether a conscious decision or not, this selective use of research is further polarizing the national conversation on climate change, experts told InsideClimate News.
Congressional lawmakers from both parties are taking a step to catalyze the nation's clean energy economy: After 32 years of restricting a crucial investment tool to expanding fossil fuels, they're pushing to open it to renewables.
Legislation is moving through both houses to tweak the tax code to let clean energy developers form a master limited partnership, or MLP, a type of publicly traded company structure not subject to corporate taxes.
For three decades, coal, oil and gas companies have used MLPs to raise hundreds of billions of dollars for pipelines, refineries and other projects. The financing vehicle is credited with helping sustain the nation's current drilling boom.
In the latest show of force by opponents of the Keystone XL pipeline, a group of 150 major Democratic donors sent a letter Friday to President Obama, urging him to reject the controversial application from TransCanada for permission to send more than 800,000 barrels of tar sands oil a day from Alberta to the Texas Gulf Coast.
The signatories comprise business leaders, philanthropists and celebrities—including clean energy entrepreneurs Vinod Khosla, Jigar Shah and Steve Kirsch, long-time Obama bundler Wendy Abrams and actress Blythe Danner.
Rep. Tim Griffin, a staunch supporter of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, recently asked ExxonMobil to move another, smaller oil pipeline away from a major water source in his home state of Arkansas.
It's a contradiction that grates on opponents of the Keystone, which would run through a critically important aquifer that supplies irrigation and drinking water to Nebraska and seven other states.
"What's good for Arkansas is good for Nebraska," anti-Keystone activist Jane Kleeb said in an email. "Rep. Griffin showed courage and common sense asking Exxon to move the tar sands pipeline away from the water. The same request should apply to all pipelines, especially Keystone XL that lies [in] the Ogallala aquifer and crosses over 200 bodies of water and family wells."
For more than a month, residents of Mayflower, Ark. have been told not to worry about lingering fumes from a March 29 oil spill that shut down a neighborhood and forced the evacuation of 22 homes.
"Overall, air emissions in the community continue to be below levels likely to cause health effects for the general population," Arkansas regulators wrote on a state-operated website that tracks Mayflower's air monitoring data.
Despite these reassurances, residents have suffered headaches, nausea and vomiting—classic symptoms of short-term exposure to the chemicals found in crude oil.
"Figuring out how to protect people after a disaster like this is very hard," said Aaron Bernstein, a public health expert and associate director of Harvard's Center for Health and the Global Environment. "People living near the spill early on could definitely have gotten sick" from the concentrations present in the air.
Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) sent a letter to ExxonMobil Tuesday seeking clarification about the "troubling and apparently conflicting information" given by the company regarding its March 29 pipeline rupture that dumped at least 210,000 gallons of Canadian oil in an Arkansas neighborhood.

1. Make Remicade® Affordable for Canadians
$30,000 a year is too much!
Remicade® Users Unite was established April 28, 2012 to give a voice to all Canadians who want to pay a reasonable price for the prescription intravenous infusion drug Remicade®.
Remicade® Users Unite is lobbying Canada's provincial and territorial governments to combine their buying power and purchase Remicade® in bulk. By working together and buying in bulk, we believe we can get a better price on Remicade®, and so make it more affordable and available to those who need it.

You look lovely, and the red can keep on coming as far as I'm concerned.
€1? Seriously, I've said it before, but this never, ever, happens to me, even in charity shops! If they're making a profit, or at least not making a loss over that prices, that's kind of scary... - February 8, 2011 at 6:56 PM

@Emily: All the pieces that I got for very reduced prices (50cents, 1 or 2€) I bought at Lefties, which exits in Spain too. It is sort of a low cost store/outlet from Inditex, and they used to have leftover pieces from previous collections from Zara and other Inditex brands. They stopped doing it now, for my misery, because I got plenty of cheap quality items from there!

Release Date: November 16, 2010Tracks: 121111
Hello Kid Rock,
Just a girl from Tucson, Az. I first heard some of your music years ago and thought to myself "hey I like that voice"~ was able to get your "Rock n Roll Jesus" and I am so hooked somebody reel me in!! I am crazy about "Born Free" too and wish I could attend a live concert. Life has not always been easy; but I have found a bit of joy in your music, it has done more for me than you could ever imagine.. I so look forward to another CD and wish you the best in everything you do. I am proud of the way you have participated in the some of the truly good things that matter. Stay you.
63 year old dirt farmer from Auburn IN/StMarys River EUP,grew up with Brit Invasionwest coast surf/car stuff (actually saw the Beatles in 64 at IN State Fair, drifted to heavier rock,hair and by mid 90's went back to classic rock and 60's stuff. Liked a handfull of your songs,Cowboy, Only God,AmericanBA(days of the Undertaker riding to the ring) but saw the TV performance of Born Free and was impressed.Said something to my 26 year old daughter about her avoiding the crowds at WalMart on the release day.Well guess what I got for Christmas(besides the Harley stuff). Let it lay around for a couple days,then happened to be working on some bookkeeping on the computer so I popped it into the Bose(,pulled out Jagged Little Pill) Got into the second song and stopped the bookwork and got out the cover booklet to follow the words,noting Words;R.Ritchie,by the end I was BLOWN AWAY!!!! Not a bad song in the bunch,like someone else posted when I turn it on it Plays at least twice and some songs more than that. Always a Heartland Rock fan,CougarMellencamp/Seger,never a country fan at all.Last CD I got was Face The Promise and to my surprise they is Bob playing piano!You did a great job on this one,is it a new leaf for KidRock,only 2 bleeps and I don't know how many Gods. Has the realization of country/family/community/real true friends/and a higher power lit the light bulb for you? cause that IS where it's at!! Appreciate your trips to the troops and what you're doing for the less fortunate keep it up, it has its rewards.Good luck on the 40 tour and may God Bless you,your family, your organization, and Uncle Ted! TAKE CARE AND ROCK ON!!!
I have to say Kid Rock! I was raised in an all classical music religious home and you were one of the first exposers I had to rock music, I will always love your music! when I was in Iraq you came and sang and I saw you live in Chicago! one day I'll be able to meet you. Keep singing dude cuz I'm still listening

""Hotels.com 住客于 2013年02月16日做过点评
Nice hotel, I like it.
Oura Praia Hotel内有餐厅。
The former little white fishing village of Albufeira, now densely developed beneath a sea of apartments and mid-rise blocks, is the region's most popular resort. The pretty Old Town is wall-to-wall restaurants and bars, though some local establishments and residential areas still remain. Its picture-postcard Fisherman's Beach, with spectacular ochre cliffs and rock stacks, remains an iconic, albeit often very crowded, Algarve sight.

"oura oura oura."
A fine hotel very clean good location has a family run feeling about It .We a family of six would definitely go back again.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"enjoyable holiday"
I would recommend this hotel to anyone. It is comfortable, well stocked and great location. We first visited the hotel in January and enjoyed it that much we travelled there again in February and brought friends along this time. My only negative point would be vacating the room for 10am.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Great hotel in a great location"
My partner and I arrived on 1st January and we were greeted by a friendly receptionist (wearing a Santa hat) who helped with our check in promptly and in a friendly manner. The room we were in was both spacious and clean. The equipment in the room was enough to cater for all our needs. During our time in Portugal the weather was lovely during the day […] but did get a little chilly during the evening. This was not a problem as long as you wrap up a little. Or you can stay in and watch the TV (ITV & BBC channels were available!!) The only negative points I would say about the room is it smelled a little moisty (not over-powering though) and more sockets could be installed. But overall for the money I would definately go back. The hotel location is great. Even for this time of year there were many places within walking distance to eat and shop. There is a supermarket next door for anything you have forgotten to bring with you. We did not eat in the hotel (or sister hotels) so can not comment but both looked nice. The area around is steep in some areas so be warned if you have walking/breathing difficulties but nothing too strenuous (I will be taking my 73 year old Mum back next time with us). If you want to get to the lovely beaches go through Club Oura Praia Hotel (sister hotel just across the road) and use the lift as this will save your legs. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"Short stay in Albufeira"
Pretty hotel not far away from centre of Albufeira and near the Oura beach. Lots of bars and restarant in the near.Expedia 真实住客点评
此住客未发表评论。Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Quite and relaxing"
As we where at the hotel out of season we expected it to be quite, the hotel was excellent although does require a 15 min walk or a bus to the old town. Room was very nice and clean with a view of the pool. Very handy for the strip.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Long term at Oura Praia"
We're seniors and just got back from 24 days at this hotel. The staff was pleasant and the hotel was well appointed, has a restaurant, cafe and free Wi-Fi in the lobby. We had a one bedroom apartment with a cooktop, microwave and fridge. There is a supermarket located on the street level of the hotel and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the area. We […] never got to the beach because it's not within easy walking distance and the old town of Albufeira is not close by. Cabs are available and there is regular bus service in front of the hotel. We had a good experience but probably wouldn't go bad. Been there, done that. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"Very Nice"
Very Nice place, the town is very much a touristy place. We were there off season but it was still a very nice place. The weather was not great but still enjoyable. I can see how this place would be very busy during the summer months.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Good value for money hotel"
Very good value hotel close to many restaurants and short distance from beaches.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Great hotel. Superb location."
The Oura Praia is ideally situated in the centre of the resort, surrounded by bars, restaurants and shops. There is a good supermarket immediately below the hotel. The Rock Line Sports Bar is on the corner, below the hotel - fantastic, welcoming, friendly staff, and superb prices make this bar a great place to chill out of an afternoon / evening. The […] hotel is very comfortable and well maintained. We opted for a one bedroomed apartment which was stylish, clean, and well equipped. Will definitely stay here again, without hesitation. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"convenient location"
the hotel itself was lovely with loads around it , including a supermarket downstairs and loads of cafes.but if i was going to albufeira again id stay in the old town as i think the new town is a bit tacky. id recommend the cafe across the street which is also a bakery...lovely staff and buns :) the room was spotless but decor is a little dated but […] fully functional 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Perfect lazy holiday"
This was our second visit to the Oura Praia Hotel and if anything it is even better than last time which was some years ago. It is in a fantastic location with all you need close by. There is a supermarket next door to the hotel. For anyone wanting lively nightlife the strip is only 10 minutes walk away but there are several busy restaurants and bars […] close by without being noisy. There are plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas although lack of securiity means they are often used by residents of other hotels which I imagine may be a problem in summer. The bus to the old town stops just round the corner and costs only 1.40 euros. With everything so close to hand it is perfect for a lazy relaxing holiday. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"Couple with baby"
Nice appartment, especially the kitchen (well sized, stuffed with all we needed). Unfortunately there was mould smell in the bathroom, particularly in the morning (probably from some mould in the drains); wonder why this had to be, as it ruined the whole impression about the otherwise very nice appartment.Expedia 真实住客点评
We enjoyed our stay, the hotel is well located and very convenient to the local supermarket for self catering visitors. The reception staff were very courteous and helpful. The room information regarding T.V stations, availability of towels for the pool, room cleaning service etc was poor and needed to be accessed at reception. The hotel is bright an […] well maintained, the pool area is pleasant and not too crowded. Overall our experience was very good. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
This was a fantastic hotel, it was clean, comfortable and the location was great. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I would recommend this hotel to everyone I Know and will stay here again:)Hotels.com 真实住客点评
Beds are hard. This day and age wi-fi should be free.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Good hotel, location may not suit everyone"
The hotel itself was good : apartment was great for the three of us (separate bedroom, our daughter slept on a sofa bed in the living room) and had good facilities - fridge, hob cooker, microwave with grill function, and plenty of cooking implements. Mid sized supermarket next door was handy. Staff were very friendly. The hotel was fairly quiet during […] our stay (1 week Jul/Aug). Nearby Club Oura Praia was far busier - pool area was heaving - and overall we found Albufeira to be pleasant but very tourist-ified 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Quality hotel would definitely go back"
Had great time was for my brothers stag do couldn't think of anywhere better to stayHotels.com 真实住客点评
"Excellent all round hotel"
Really enjoyable stay, located beside a large supermarket for great convenience. In a quiet area but really close to a number of restaurants and pubs and also a 5 min walk to start of the main strip. 3 min walk down to the beach. Would return!!Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"beautiful place - lovely people"
We had a great family holiday - the reception desk was the most helpful i've ever encountered.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Good stay."
Our only problem with the room was that it was not cleaned every day. This should be told to all guests at checkin time. The hotel is located in a good area with transit out side the hotel, there is a small supermarket just out side the hotel where you can get any thing you need for breakfast or lunch we had dinner out every evening.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Great find!!"
first time trip and already looking forward to going again and to same place!Expedia 真实住客点评
"Excellent Hotel"
The room was spacious, well equipted and very clean. Location was close to the strip and also walking distance to the old town. Parking was available and free of charge. Would definitely recommend this hotel which would be in the top 5 hotels we have stayed in whilst traveling Europe for the past 4 months.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Great deal"
We were there for only a night so we did not really used our very large room which was really an appartment with all commodities. 10 minutes walk from a very nice beach where you can start a walk that looks like no end...we had to sop at one point but it was not easy because the views from the cliffs were so great. At night there are some bars also […] 10 minutes away including one good one with a band and an entertaining staff (can't remember the name). This is a tourist place but for one night it was perfect 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Great friendly hotel near the strip"
Staff very friendly and helpful, hotel and room very clean fresh, way more than I expected everything you need is in the room, bathroom also very and tidy ideally located near but not too near the strip, fantastic can't say enough good things thanks for a pleasant and easy stay A++++Expedia 真实住客点评
"Value accommodation in Algarve"
Very good value for money. Comfortable apartment with plenty of eating places nearby.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Excellent central location"
Great, would recommend as its close to the beach and restaurants and not far from the busier "strip area" and thg "Old town" villageHotels.com 真实住客点评
"Nice Hotel but a room above the Karaoke Bar?"
What 's not to like except we were above the karaoke bar. That means when a guy sings Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby, you can sing too. Other than that it a 4 star place.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Nice hotel, not 4*"
Lovely hotel. Noisey tables and chairs when moved - others doing so kept us awake at night. Reception staff welcoming and helpful. Charge extra for eggs(other than scrambled) at breakfast and fruit juice not fresh but diluted.Expedia 真实住客点评

"Comfortable and Good Value"
This was our second visit and being off-season it was very quiet. However all services were of a high standard and the staff courteous and helpful. The apartments are comfortable and well-equiped. The room was cleaned every day with frequent changes of all linen. The restaurant provides a good range of excellent meals and value for money.

"Fantastic Family Holiday"
We have just returned from 10 nights in Oura Praia Hotel and we were absolutely delighted with our choice of hotel. The staff were very friendly, it was very clean, and had good facilities for our children aged 3 and 5 . The only criticism we would have would be that the hotel was quiet for the children at night time but this was compensated for in […] that we could go visit their sister hotel across the road for Kids Disco etc. The hotel is within walking distance of nice restaurants , shops etc and we would have no hesitation in recommending and returning next year. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Oura Praia Hotel"
Good location but noisy because of Karaoke bar at street level therefore poolside is quieter. Convenient for taxis & buses just outside. Beware contact from "Guest Services" as they`re trying to sell timeshare dressed up as a holiday club. Out of order in an hotel IMO.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Would recommend"
The accommodation was very clean and comfortable with everything you could need for a self-catering holiday (microwave, 2 hob rings, good sized fridge-freezer as well as tea towels, cutlery and equipment which were all perfectly clean). Location to Albufeira old town was perfect with a bus stop right outside the hotel - would definitely recommend going […] to the old town rather than the 'strip' which was full of below average restaurants and bars. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

"Skøn efterårsferie på Oura Praia Hotel"
Vi er en familie på 4, der har boet i en rigtig super lejlighed på Oura Praia Hotel. Der var 2 store soveværelser med balkon, lækkert badeværelse samt stort rum med stue og køkkenafdeling incl køleskab og fryser.Grundig rengøring og udskiftning af ALLE håndklæder, der bare så ud til at være brugt, om det så kun var en enkelt gang. Alt skinnede rent […] og pænt både inde og ude. Rigtig dejlig pool og gode liggestole og parasoller. Meget flinke og imødekommende personale i receptionen. Selvfølgelig lidt larm om aftenen fra de barer/restauranter, der lå i underetagen, men det hører jo ligesom med til stemningen ved at være sydpå :) :) :) :) :) 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Flott hotell med veldig serviceinnstilt personale, men må huske på å hente ut lapp på døra for å få rommene rengjort. Det tok et par dager før vi oppdaget dette. Fikk rom mot øverste gata første natta, dette var et rom hvor vi hørte mye støy fra gata, biler og restauranter. Vi fikk heldigvis byttet rom natta etterpå uten problemer. Dette rommet var […] bedre. Et minus på hele hotellet syns jeg var dobbeltsengene. De var veldig harde og ubehagelige å ligge på!!! Ellers et supert hotell - godt fornøyd. Rolig bassengområde og fant alltid solsenger :-) god restaurant på bassengområdet. Anbefaler også massasjen de tilbyr - godt og billig. Alltid blide og hjelpsomme ansatte i resepesjonen. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Woody Guthrie's God and Country
Woody Guthrie's God and Country
"This Land Is Your Land," Woody Guthrie's most famous song, has been sung by school children, scouts, church choirs, and war veterans. Its message of freedom and hope make it quintessential Woody. So does its undercurrent of protest and equality.
Guthrie wrote the song in 1940 as an angry response to Irving Berlin's popular "God Bless America." If God blessed America, why were there so many poor and downtrodden people littered across its land, still reeling from the Great Depression and Dust Bowl devastation? His original handwritten lyric closed the song with "One bright sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple / By the relief office I saw my people / As they stood hungry, I stood there wondering if / God blessed America for me." Below the lyrics he wrote, "All you can write is what you see." (Read the complete lyrics here.)
Woodrow Wilson Guthrie was simple and earthy, political and spiritual. His music was infused with God and country and the humanity in between, especially the downtrodden and oppressed. Those were Guthrie's people: the hobos and migrants and laborers and union organizers. The weather-worn Okie minstrel was one of them. He was their voice for justice and dignity in the 1930s and '40s.
He was also arguably the most important figure in American folk music. Pete Seeger? Guthrie was a mentor, collaborator and bandmate in The Almanacs during the '40s. Arlo Guthrie? Woody was his father. Bob Dylan? Guthrie was his hero. It was a pilgrimage to visit the seriously ill Guthrie that brought the 19-year-old Dylan to New York City—and Woody's circle of musician friends who helped open doors into the performance scene for Dylan. Trace Dylan's marriage of folk with rock and roll and, moving forward, you follow the family tree through Springsteen and Mellencamp to today's Americana neofolk revival in all of its various combinations.
To mark the centennial of Guthrie's birth, two excellent new releases open the doors to his music and the man behind it. The recently released Mermaid Avenue: The Complete Sessions pairs Billy Bragg and Wilco. And New Multitudes (released in February on Rounder Records) brings together Jay Farrar (Son Volt, Gob Iron, Uncle Tupelo), Yim Yames (aka Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Monsters of Folk), Will Johnson (Centro-matic, South San Gabriel), and Anders Parker (Varnaline, Gob Iron).
These albums aren't mere tributes. All the lyrics are Guthrie's; they came from 3,000 unrecorded songs he left when he died in 1967. Many had been originally scratched on paper scraps stuffed in Guthrie's pockets as he hopped freight trains and followed the migrant masses down Depression era byways. Woody's daughter Nora Guthrie invited select musicians to cull from the collection and create the music to give them wings.
Mermaid Avenue is the more comprehensive project, including 47 songs and the 1999 documentary film Man in the Sand, which offers insight into the recording process and Guthrie's life. Volume I and Volume II released in 1998 and 2000 respectively; the first was Grammy nominated for Best Contemporary Folk Album. The 17 newly released songs of Volume III were recorded at the same time. New Multitudes is more recent, but both projects sound fresh and relevant.
Crying in the wilderness
It's a testimony to their timelessness that Guthrie's lyrics fit so comfortably into these newer Americana rock arrangements. Credit that to the raw humanity at their core. Woody's words narrate the modernization of America through the eyes of its laborers and casualties. He was one of them. But with his music he was also a voice crying in the wilderness for social change, just more Walt Whitman than John the Baptist.

It's the Thoughts That Count

R McKinney- it is you who are applying 'his standards' to him; and again, how about applying the standards you judge him by to yourself? Jesus clearly says "Take the mote out of your own eye before you try to take the speck out of another's". Further, Guthrie never paid unfair wages to anyone that I know; Guthrie never built himself a mansion while others starved; Guthrie never beat anyone on a picket line. And his family seemed to be fairly successful without him, didn't they? His son did fairly well as a folksinger, I believe...
Roger McKinney
Anonymous, I'm not judging Guthrie. I merely took the standard that Guthrie applied to others and applied it to him. Guthrie has judged himself with his own comments.
@Roger McKinney- and how many people were inspired to lift themselves out of poverty by what he wrote and sang? How many received an inspiration to lift themselves out of despair, and to join with others? Why is it, that you persist in judging others-looking at their faults, and not acknowledge the good that they do? Did also Jesus say to 'love your enemies'? We are called to live according to our beliefs, and leave to God condemnation of others.

The Word Carrier VOLUME XXVI. HELPING THE RIGHT, EXPOSING THE WRONG. \ I'M HER IS. SANTEE AGENCY, NEBRASKA. DECEMBER, 1807. FIFTY CENTS PER YEAR OUR PLATFORM. For Indians we want American Education! We ivant American Homes! We want American Rights! ■ The result of which is American Citizenship).' And the gospel is the Power of God for their Salvation! A general educational and missionary lecture tour of over seven hundred miles on the reservations was made this autumn by Mr. F. B. Riggs. From the annual meeting of the A. M. A. in Minneapolis he went straight to Bismark, N. D. and from there across the reservations west of the Missouri down to Pierre. Thence he started for Rosebud and Pine Ridge. Several days were spent on the Grand River, at Elkhorn StTition, holding a Bible and general educational institute. Those people, for whom .Miss Collins has labored so faithfully, are now sufficiently advanced to appreciate such a school. When its purpose and advantages are more fully understood we have reason to believe that a popular annual institute of this kind will be largely- attended. Besides Bible study, the topics for such an occasion include a large range in every department of Christian civilization. It is hoped that a regular time can be appointed for such an institute at each outstation every year. This will be further supplemented by the extension of our Santee Correspondence School, and thus greatly increase the radiating effectiveness of Santee as a Christian educational centre. AFTER MANY DAYS. We were greatly pleased to see among the passengers by the last steamer, Mr. Peter Simpson and his family. Peter is one of the boys that came to our Home from Metlakahtla ten or twelve years ago. He was an industrious student and manly fellow in every respect. He graduated from the school with honor, and when ready to leave us arranged a partnership with one of our most promising girls for life. His wife had been trained in the art of "domestic science" in Mrs. Austin's kitchen, which was a valuable consideration in the eyes of Peter when he was negotiating said partner- snip. In fact this was one of the many troubles encountered by Mrs. Austin in her missionary work. No sooner would she get one of the native girls nicely trained in the culinary art, so that she could be of real service to her, than some boy whose time had just expired in the school would come along and show his appreciation of her work by relieving her of said help. There is many a home in Alaska made happier and more comfortable today, by reason of these girls who passed through our kitchen. It seemed to be a sort of postscript to our regular work. Yet I fancy on tbe whole no better work, no more useful and helpful work for the pupil, is done in any of the departments than in this very one. The superintendent who has just returned from a visit to Juneau was telling me of a family there who have one of our Mission girls working for them, who when asked where she learned to cook and keep house, re- ' plied with much pride, "at Mr. Aus- | tin's." Let us remember that a tidy home and a well-cooked meal is a means of grace, as well as a prayer meeting. Perhaps we shall be surprised on the "other side" to find how many were influenced for good by Paul's tent making, as well as by his preaching. The matron favored Peter's suit, for in his ease "the course of true love did not run smooth." The parents were prejudiced against the Metlakahtlans. They spoke another language, and they feared that their daughter would be lonely and unhappy among a strange people. They thought the Sitka children who were educated in the Sitka school ought to stay here* and help their own people. They needed it more than the Tsimpsians. There were numerous private counsels in those days and Mrs. A. was the champion of the young people. All the difficulties were finally removed and on September 17, 1891, Peter Simpson and Mary Sloan were married. Peter Simpson is now part owner is a steam saw mill at Port Gravina, is doing well and came to Sitka to pay the old folks a visit. At our last communion service I I baptized their two beautiful little ; children, Lewis Peter Simpson and J Isabella Rachel Simpson, and I thought I never saw any happier looking people than Grandfather | and Grandmother Sloan as they came forward to take these little ' grandchildren by the hand after ! service was over. Who would have dared to prophecy such a result when this Mission was started. I wish I bad a picture of these grandparents as I first saw them, and of this group at the baptism of the little j ones. It would be a most effective 1 missionary sermon. Thank God ; these Christian homes are springing up in many parts of Alaska. I wonder what the next picure will be "after many days." f shall not i see it.—A. E. Austin, in North Star. AN INDIAN WEDDING. The Story of the Marriage of Wabli-koyake and Julia Lonebear. Wabli-koyake, known as Wears- eagle, had been for a number of months an apparently interested and devout attendant on all the services at the Porcupine Creek Chapel. He seemed to be a very quiet and inoffensive kind of a man, and many hopes were entertained in regard to him. After awhile, however, he disappeared from the neighborhood, and their camerumors tbathe was in the "lock up" at the agency. By and by he came back, having been, like Samson, shorn of his locks. A woman was the original cause of his having been deprived of his liberty, and in this respect also, he was somewhat like Samson. He brought back what might be fitly termed "hang-dog-look," along with his short hair. It was said that he had fastened his precious hair to a band, and sewed it to his hat, in order to preserve appearances. About this time, Julia Lonebear, and Julia's father, bepan to haunt the mission house. The cause of this persistency was that the agent had ordered Julia Lonebear and Mr. Wearseagle to be married. The future father-in-law feared that the man would in some way leave his daughter a lorn as well as Lonebear, and accordingly his desire , was to see the couple -safely (?) | madeone. "Has Mr. Johnson come yet," was Julia's repeated query, j "When is he coming?" At length ! persistency and patience had their reward. In the course of human events Mr. Johnson arrived, one evening, on his way to Corn Creek. It had seemed to him most necessary that he get started from Porcupine early in the morning, for that place, but the building at Corn Creek could wait better than this most important wedding. So in the morning, Mr. Johnson went across the creek in haste, and came back on double quick, with the word that Julia and Wablikoyake were both ready. They had only stipulated that Nakiwizi and Mrs. Bear-that runs-through-the-woods- sits-on-hind-legs- and-cracks-nuts be asked to support them in the tiying hour. Accordingly Mr. Johnson and Mr. Morris harnessed up their horse.-:, and made haste to find the people whose presence was desired. After a very lengthy drive up the creek, they returned, saying that Nakiwizi could not befound.but that Mrs. Bear-that-runs-through the-woods, etc., with Mr. Bear, etc., were on the way, and would shortly be here. So the bell was rung. The bride elect, accompanied by a friend, in a red gown, had appeared on the scene of action, some time previously. The bride's distinguishing article of attire was a very heavy beaver shawl, and it was an extremely warm day in July! The groom had come alone. By and by, Blackbear dropped in. I may remark parenthetically that some day Blackbear will naturally fall to pieces, if nothing braces him together. After awhile Thomas Prettyelk appeared, but no Mr. and Mrs. Bear, etc. Consternation became depicted on several faces. Where were they? And echo answered "where"? Mr. Johnson sat on pins, figuratively speaking, for was he not in haste to be away for Corn Creek ? Miss Conger, on her seat behind the organ, represented "patience on a monument". By and by she began to play, to "soothe the savage breast," and sang awhile, accompanied by the others. Still no Mr. and Mrs. Bear, etc. Where could they be ? At length some one volunteered the information that they had gone to the store—perhaps to buy a pair of gloves! Another suggested that it might be white gloves, for the wedding! That proposition was so manifestly absurd, that one of the audience retired precipitately, to Ihe door step, to have her laugh out. All things come to .an end sometime, and so at last a wagon appeared in sight, and the missing man and woman came in, calm and serene as a summer morn. We breathed sighs of relief. Now the marriage would soon be over, and we could go home and have dinner! But our relief was of short duration, for now indeed, came the "tug of war." pass- Bear, In a Julia Lonebear and Mr. Wears- eagle were soon standing in front of the pulpit, with Mr. and Mrs. Bear, etc. on either side. Oh, for a kodak! The woman (dung to her heavyshaw 1 with one hard, and with the other held like grim death on the man's limp and passive fingers. He gave one the feeling that he was in a state of decay. His ragged vest, and dirty pink shirt were the most noticeable features of his toilet. Julia responded quite earnestly and vehemently to the questions that Mr. Johnson bad asked her, but when it came the man's turn, alas, he was as dumb as a thousand year mummy. The questions were repeated, still no answer. They were asked through an interpreter, to be sure that he understood, but even then elicited no reply. What was to be done? Time was ing. After a little, however, Mr. etc., came to the rescue, calm dispassionate tone he harangued tbe man, giving him some most excellent advice. By and by tbe sphinx spoke, but no words of wisdom were heard. He did not know enough to be married, he said. He did not understand these things. It was the business of these praying men to instruct him, and they had not yet taught him as they should, with more of the same sort of palaver. Again and again Mr. Johnson plied him with questions, but with no results. The situation grew serious. What could be done with the obstinate man? To the beholders in the rear it seemed as if a good sound shaking might do Mr. Wears-eagle more good than any thing else, and one at least longed for the power to administer it. Julia reiterated, "The Agent told us to get married, and so we ought to get married." All this time she held .tightly to the man's limp and passive hand. Again John Bear, etc., spoke in the same quiet, convincing, dispassionate voice, and at length and at last Wears-eagle yielded, and agreed to make answer to the question asked him. So the ceremony proceeded, without any further interruptions, and in a few moments more the unwilling man and the willing woman were pronounced husband and wife. We all drew long breaths theD, glad to be released from the tiresome waiting, but wondering how long the marriage would bind these two. When hands had been shaken all around, and the certificate duly signed, the people departed. Wears-eagle held back as if to accompany his wife, but she, with her attendant friend, would none of his company. "Go !" she commanded, with an imperious wave of her hand. "Go!" And he went, slinking along by the fence, soon disappearing from sight. This may well be termed a marriage under difficulties. ONE WHO WAS THERE. N. B. No. 1. The woman is not as willing as she was ! N. B. No. 2. All young men preparing for missionary work, are hereby recommended to take warning from these trying experiences of their brother in the ministry.

generative modeling for Rhino
Hello everybody,
I have a problem with my grasshopper model, and I hope there's anyone who can help me with it. I'm creating a model for a project for my Masters degree, and am using grasshopper for the first time.
I have an arc which is defined by a base plane, radius and an angle domain in radians. Now, i want to use a slider to make the arc longer or shorter between this certain domain. I have tried a couple of things, but every time, the arc runs from 0 to the value in the slider, instead of toggling between the domain that I want.
Thanks in advance!
try this: an arc from a to b radians is an arc with a length of (a-b), rotated by a
stack using the "rad" to convert angles to radians ...
and setting the number slider to 0min and 360 degrees or whatever you want.
but do not understand your question
It works now! Thanks for your replies

WTB or Trade for Ozzie Smith Auto
Nearly 300 Ozzie Smith cards...and not one Auto yet! I need to correct this. If you have one you'd like to sell or trade, please PM me. Probably cannot afford the high-ends, but we'll see.
If you'd rather trade, I've a few that I could offer including: 2010 Topps #250B Mark Teixeira/Pie in the face - BV $80 2012 Topps Historical Stitches #DJ Derek Jeter S2 - BV $30 2012 Topps Allen and Ginter Mini #4 Yu Darvish - BV $10 2012 Bowman Platinum Ruby #9 Yu Darvish - BV $20 2012 Bowman Chrome X-Fractors #84 Yu Darvish - BV $10 (All are in my Org, but not currently marked FT) I've recently traded most of my autos and relics, though I do still have a couple. I also have a handful of other popular RCs (base & parallel). Let me know who you're looking for & I'll let you know what I have. Depending on the Ozzie Auto(s), I'm willing to straight up pay (paypal), trade, or a mix of both. Thanks all! -Jason Banner By: pjpitbull "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." -Gandhi |

position: fixed on a table row?
I want to make a table such that the heading row stays in place as you scroll, so you always know what information you're looking at underneath. I tried setting "position: fixed" on the table row, but then the cells "collapse" (they shrink to just large enough to fit their text, no longer aligning with the rows underneath).
Is there any good way to do this?This thing is awful and I hate looking at it now, but that's what I was going for here:
The things is... it's not really a table row up top it's just an image. I'm not sure if table rows will respect fixed positioning. I assume they do not, they have their own special positioning rules. Likewise, you can't adjust a cell with relative positioning (and stuff like that).Yeah, that's what I figured. When I set position: fixed it looks like it takes the row out of the normal "flow" of the table, and everything gets screwy (like the background color from the row underneath moves up behind the fixed row above it).
I guess an image - or just a separate div rather than a table row - is the way to go.I've seen this done somewhere - let me have a look around :) *checks bookmarks...*
Any good?

The hotel is located in the Old city of Vilnus not far from the main places of interests. There are also a lot of caffes, shops, restaurants around it, even the building of philarmony where you can listen to classical music. What we found a bit uncomfortable in the hotel is that when we were checking in we realised that... More
