Almost everyone needs a second chance at one time or another and Randy Robitaille is getting his.
The Nashville Predators have recalled Robitaille from the Milwaukee Admirals where he had scored 10 goals and collected 23 assists in 19 games. He left the International Hockey League with a bang after scoring four goals Tuesday night in the Admirals 6-5 overtime victory over the Chicago Wolves. He also received an assist on the game-winning goal by defenseman Bubba Berenzweig. To make room for Robitaille the Predators reassigned center Greg Classen who had two goals and four assists in 27 games this season.
Robitaille will be in uniform tonight when the Predators try to get back on the winning track against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Game time is at 7 at the Gaylord Entertainment Center.
The Predators have dropped into 11th place in the Western Conference with a 26-29-8-2 record after Tuesday night's 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings. The Chicago Blackhawks are 10th with a 27=29-5-3 record. Both teams have 62 points.
The Predators hope that Robitaille can bring them a scoring spark at a point in the season when goals are hard to come by.
"Randy has gone down there and worked very hard," said Predators coach Barry Trotz. "We have talked to the coaching staff and they are delighted with him. He is putting up great numbers. All of those are things that you look for. He has gone down there and made a statement our organization and other organizations that maybe he doesn't belong in the International Hockey League.
"I think he believes he belongs here (NHL). Actually, I know that he does believe that."
Robitaille was sent to Milwaukee after scoring only 15 points (five goals and 10 assists) in 45 games for the Predators. It was presumed at the time it would be his last opportunity to wear a Predators jersey.
"Randy is bright and creative," Trotz said. "He has a lot of talent. He just has to prove it in the NHL."
Trotz was often at odds with the way Robitaille played and once stated that he needed to sometimes use "tough love" to get his points across, which loosely translated means Robitaille lost playing time when he didn't perform to expectations.
"He has had the puck a lot more down there (Milwaukee)," Trotz said. "It's league lower. That is just common that you would have the puck more in the IHL.
"To play up here he has to be more responsible in some areas. There are parts of his game he needs to improve on."
Robitaille has been a prolific goal scorer in both the American Hockey League and the IHL, but he has yet to prove in two seasons that he is up to the challenge of being a scorer in the NHL. Trotz admits the jury is still out.
"He just has to come in here and play hard and play consistent," Trotz said. "He needs to come in here and do the things he can do and make good decisions. At times you can see his ability. We want to get it out of him consistently and make him a more well-rounded player."
Trotz stressed that the demotion of Classen was not a reflection of his performance, but an opportunity for him to get more playing time. He will be evaluated after six games with the Admirals.
"The last time we sent Greg down was for the same reason," Trotz said. "We want him to play in lots of games, get some ice time, handle the puck more and get some confidence.
"We haven't been getting him a lot of minutes here. It may not be a permanent thing. He's going to be a very good player for us. This is by no means a punishment thing for him."
The Predators close out this four-game homestand Sunday when the New York Rangers, minus Theo Fleury who has checked himself into a rehab center, visit for a 2 p.m. faceoff.

Animal shelters throughout the San Francisco Bay Area are all struggling with the same very big little problem: an alarming increase in homeless Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes. As the result, many of us have gotten together to present the first ever Bay Area-wide Chihuahua-palooza, an event aimed at addressing the Chihuahua population explosion which has led to the tiny breed being the most common at shelters.
Bay Area shelters are reporting that Chihuahuas and mixes account for anywhere from 20 to 50% of all incoming dogs. In early May, many are offering reduced adoption fees and reduced or free spay/neuter surgeries as part of the first annual Chihuahua-palooza.
As for the shelter where I hang my hat, "Pound for pound, the most love you'll ever get!" is the tagline for the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA's adoption promotion during the entire month of May when adoption fees will be based on the weight of Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes. Yes, an eight-pound dog can be adopted for just $8! Of course, potential adopters will first meet with a staff counselor to determine whether a good match exists.
In addition to offering special weight-based adoption fees the entire month of May, PHS/SPCA is setting aside two days in the shelter's spay/neuter clinic — Wednesday, May 11 and Thursday, May 12 — for free spay/neuter surgeries. San Mateo County residents with Chihuahuas or Chihuahua mixes can get them fixed for free. For an appointment, call 650/340-7025. Appointments are limited and will be granted on a first-come, first served basis.
We're also inviting the general public to observe a special training class for a group of the shelter's Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes awaiting adoption. The class, which focuses on providing mental stimulation and fun for dogs by working on scent-based games and tricks, is Tuesday, May 10, 11:30 am to 12:30 pm in the shelter's Auditorium. No appointment necessary.
PHS/SPCA currently has 34 Chihuahuas or Chihuahua mixes available for adoption. The breed now accounts for approximately 21% of all our incoming dogs. They are surrendered to shelters for different reasons — like any breed — but one common reason includes "does not play well with or tolerate children in the family."
Shelters throughout the Bay Area believe several factors have contributed to the Chihuahua increase besides the fact that they don't match expectations for families with young children. Hollywood can be partially to blame, given the Taco Bell commercials, Chihuahua Disney movies and number of starlets who parade the little pups in purses as fashion accessories. And, despite their little outer package, these small dogs can have big personalities. Apparently, the challenge is too great for many owners.
The Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA is open for adoptions from 11AM to 7PM on weekdays and 11AM to 6PM on weekends. Potential adopters are asked to arrive at least an hour before closing to complete an adoption. Many of the shelter's available dogs can also be viewed online at www.PHS-SPCA.org. The regular adoption fee is $120 ($70 for dogs age 7+ and $135 for puppies under 6 months).


text: Striings 0 Posted November 30, 2012 Hey. I wondered if anybody could help me... I have a ford focus on a 54 plate. My drivers door window doesn't open but the passenger side does. I have looked on Internet and someone said that it wouldn't be a fuse as the passenger side works and its on the same circuit and fuse. So how would I check to see if the motor is working? Also would I be able to plug a test lead into the window button and activate it to see if it has power. If not what do I check then? If so how would I check the motor? Does anybody know what I will need to remove the door trim ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been an R.N. for over 30 years and currently I am a SAHM, or to be exact Grandma! I love anything to do with Social Media, Personal Development, Affiliate and Relationship Marketing. I am a perpetual student and as I learn I love to share with everyone! My blog posts are mostly about the things that I am learning on the web.
Although I grew up in upstate NY, we moved to Puerto Rico when I was 15. We started going there for our yearly vacations when I was 10 years old. Although my dad nor us kids spoke a lick of Spanish he fell in love with the place. My mom was from there originally, but she wasn't that excited to move back.
So at 15 we packed up everything and left our little town of Sloatsburg, NY. It was quite the culture shock moving to a small rural town in Puerto Rico and not understanding the language. We had to learn Spanish with the kindergartners who were failing Spanish! You can just imagine these awkward teenagers sitting on tiny little chairs learning to speak, what would soon turn into being our primary language.
|The Casita, the house I grew up in
Watching I Love Lucy and Bewitched dubbed in Spanish was hilarious! In those days there was no cable television, just a hanger as the antenna! What was really funny was watching Godzilla, not only did you have the mouth moving out of sink it was now re-dubbed in Spanish!
During Nursing School, still in Puerto Rico, I had just received a packet from George Washington University to work as a nurse there. I had so many dreams of moving back to the states. For some reason I had this fantasy life all up in my head and living in Puerto Rico was not part of that dream. The decisions I made that night changed my life forever. I moved away in 1982.
So for this post I decided to share a little of the Island that ironically I now miss so much!
|Old San Juan
|1634 Chapel of Christ and Parque de las Palomas
|Isla Verde
|Beach Near Naguabo
|Rio Grande
|Rio Grande
|El Yunque Rain Forest Ferns the size of trees!
The Five Things I Love Most About Puerto Rico:
- Walking on the beach and feeling the warm white sand underneath my feet
- The full moon shining through the palm trees swaying in the wind
- The warm breeze from the ocean hitting my face
- Party time! Spending time with family and friends, singing, dancing, great food and music
- The warm blue green ocean, hitting the shore with quiet strength
This was just a little tour of the island and where I grew up so many years ago. Hope you enjoyed the trip!
My husband and I now live south of Seattle, WA. We have five sons, two daughter-in-laws, four beautiful grandchildren, three Labrador Retrievers, a cat named Elvis and a horse named Sioux.

If what Alexander Graham Bell invented in 1876 was email – and if the technology invented 95 years later was the telephone – the immediacy of a telephone call would have been seen as an improvement over the delayed back-and-forth communication of email.
Most of us either misuse email ourselves, or we get buried in emails sent by others – often our boss! – who misuse email.
Here's a collection of 22 tips others have taught. I contend that, if each of us followed all 22 tips, we'd have better communication – and we'd spend a lot less time on email each day.
Today, there are companies who claim the productivity tool they invented will allow you to eliminate email — Asana's claim of, "Teamwork Without Email" comes to mind. Don't believe it. Email's here to stay. So....let's all figure out how to just deal with it!
- Have Goals – not Email – Drive Your Day. Do not let email drive your day. Your personal goals as well as your organization's goals should drive your day. Try this technique: Simply do NOT start your day by reading your email! Rather, start your day by….looking at your goals – your personal goals; your department's goals; your company's goals – and start the day by working on a task that helps you reach one of those goals. Only then open your email.
- Manage People Via Email: Wrong. Don't manage people via email. That's not why it was invented, and it doesn't work well for that task. It's mail; it's not magic. Rather, manage people by using time-proven techniques (Mutually agreed "SMART" goals. "Expect and Inspect" techniques. Weekly, one-on-one, in-person meetings. Etc.)
- "Talk To Me": Sometimes it's just better to talk to someone live. Sometimes because what's needed is a detailed, back-and-forth conversation; sometimes because the best response to an email is to walk across the office and talk to the person. Or use the phone. Or IM.
- An Urgent Email is an Oxi Moron: If you define "urgent" as "important plus imminent," then sending an urgent message via email makes no sense. Email is not imminent because it's asynchronous. Urgent communications should only be sent using a synchronous communication method – talking live, a voice phone call, IM (but only if the person responds right away, or text (again, only if there's an immediate response.)
- Synchronous Communication is Often Better: Whether it's in-person talking, a voice phone call, Skype, or IM, synchronous communication is very often better than asynchronous communication.
- IM: I've found plain old-fashioned IM to work very well, particularly in a distributed workforce environment. IM is also good for today's "open plan" offices to reduce noise. I don't understand why this tech is not used more.
- When NOT to use IM: IM works only if the person you are communication with is also on IM right now! It's fleeting, even if it "remembers" conversations like, Slack does. IM should be used ONLY when you can engage in a live, synchronous conversation with the person. You should assume that all people who are not on your IM system right now will not see the conversation; so don't put "permanent" communications in IM; put those in email. People will look at all of their emails eventually; people will not be expected to go back and look at an old IM / Slack conversation that happened when they were not at their device (in a meeting, etc.)
- The Secret Communication Tool – Text: I get over 170 emails a day; many of those folks need to wait before I can respond. I get less than a half dozen texts a day; those people get my immediate attention.
- Don't Change Mediums. Unless requested to do otherwise, respond via the medium the conversation started in. If the conversation starts with, say, a text, then continue the conversation with a text, not email. Ditto if the conversation starts with a phone call (that's gone to voice mail) — respond by calling the person back on the phone. If you change mediums what you are really saying is, "I don't want to engage in this conversation with you – I just want to tell you what I think and end it there."
- Sending URLs: If you send a URL to someone, type a short message (how about 140 characters or less?) stating WHY you are sending the URL. "This article about rebranding is, I think, exactly what we need to do." Or "This article about rebranding doesn't really apply to us in many ways, but I think the point in the fifth paragraph is spot on for us." Or "Great article on rebranding. The key take away for me was that we missed our opportunity to rebrand."
- Ditto When Forwarding Emails or Sending Attachments or Sharing Documents: If you decide to forward an email — or send an attachment, or a link to a document — do two things: 1. Summarize the forwarded email (or the attachment / document) and, 2. Tell the recipient WHY you are forwarding / sending. Do you want them to take an action? Or is it just an, "FYI" that can be ignored?
- "To" vs. "CC" on Action Items: If you have an action item for someone in the body of your email, then that person's name should always be in the TO field; none of the people in the CC field should have an action item.
- Highlight Action Items: Particularly when an email contains multiple actions items for multiple people, format the action items so that the recipient clearly understands what is expected of them. Put the name of the person on each action item. Put a two to three word summary of the action item at the start of the sentence. And bold both of the name and the summary.
- TO: All Employees: Think carefully before using an "All Employees" alias. Stop and ask yourself, "Does this email really need to go to everyone (in the company or group or team), or can some people be dropped from the list?" Don't be lazy; take the time to send the email to ONLY those who need to get it. Also, just because the original email was sent to everyone, usually the reply should not be sent to everyone.
- Reply-All: Think carefully before hitting "Reply All." Stop and think about each and every name on the list and decide who can be dropped (or who you should add.) (Exception: If the original email asked, "Is the building on fire?" then the response should probably be a "Reply All.")
- "To" vs. "CC" on any Reply-All: When you do do a "reply all," (in addition to removing — and possibly adding — names) think about the "to" and ''cc" fields. Your software probably placed people into incorrect fields. This is often the case if you are responding not to the original email, but rather to the second or third version of the email; in those cases, the person who started the email chain has been relegated to a cc, which is not likely what you intended.
- Change the Subject: Many of us have software that combines emails that have the same subject. Given this, we want responders to not change the subject field. However, when the actual subject of the email trail has in fact changed, then in those cases change the subject field.
- Descriptive & Inclusive Subject – Plus "EOM": Like it or not, many people will make their "Do I read this email now?" decision based on the subject field. Make sure it is descriptive. And make sure it includes all the subjects covered in the email; if your email covers two subjects but your subject line only covers one, that's not smart. So break the habit that lots of execs have of adding a second, unrelated subject at the end of an email. ("Oh, by the way, tell everyone that this week's payroll will be two days late.") Also, if your entire message is in the subject field — "Due to the storm, we're closing the office at 3 PM" – then put "EOM" (End of Message) in the subject field. No need to even open it!
- Let It Die / NRR: Some of us feel that we can never have an email trail end in our inbox; we insist on having the last word. Give it up. Often NRR applies. (No Response Required.) Don't insist on one last response as it's just creating an email for someone else.
- Tip For When Your In-Box Is Overloaded: If you've been away for a few hours or days and your inbox is overloaded, try this tip: Sort the unread emails in your inbox by sender name. For a number of reasons (I'll not list here) you'll find you can more-quickly plow through dozens of emails in a shorter time.
- Advice Just For The Boss: Don't jump into discussions late. If time has passed and the issue is on the way to being resolved, don't chime in with your opinion; you're just going to divert people. If you are late to the party, behave differently than if the original email were only a few minutes old. Ask ONE person ONLY, "This email is five hours old. Has the problem been handled? Do I need to chime in?"
- More Advice Just For The Boss: Sitting down at night and "cleaning up your email" by sending a ton of emails to others on the team is not getting work done; rather it's dumping work on others. You are just hindering those people from achieving their goals and objectives. It's discouraging to your team members who work a long day, handle all their email before they head home, only to come in in the morning to a pile of late-night stuff from the boss.

Ozzy Osbourne can't believe Black Sabbath's success
- Bang Showbiz
- 15 November 2013
Ozzy Osbourne has been blown away by the response to Black Sabbath's reunion in 2012 and their new album this year '13'
Ozzy Osbourne says he struggles to believe Black Sabbath's success story.
The 64-year-old musician has been blown away by the response to the heavy metal group's reunion in 2012 and their new album this year '13' - the first studio LP to feature Ozzy on vocals since 1978's 'Never Say Die!' - which topped the album charts in eight countries.
Ozzy - who is joined in the band by guitarist Tony Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler - admits he thought the group probably had just a few years ahead of them when they formed in 1968 and is astounded that 45 years on people are still so passionate about their music.
Speaking at the Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards at The Roundhouse in London on Thursday night (14.11.13), Ozzy said: "It's embarrassing really; I remember after we'd done one of our first gig, I thought, 'This'll be good for a couple of years.' Here we are, 45 years down the road and we've got a number one album. I had no idea it would end up doing that."
Ozzy - who was joined at the event by Geezer and Tony to collect three prizes including the coveted Living Legend Award - insists the group owe everything to their fans for their unwavering support and loyalty.
He added: "It's only because of the fans that we've still got a career, they keep supporting us - 45 years we've been around. It's remarkable. It's fantastic that people are still interested after all this time. It's been a great story to come back and we've done fantastic."

Michael Godard, The #1 Selling Artist in the World!
Michael Godard martini art features olives, grapes and other frisky characters busily expressing Godard's slightly off-kilter point of view. With plenty of talent to challenge the 'serious' artists, Michael Godard took his own path instead, and chose to "learn all the rules, and then break them".
Born in Southern California, Godard was a precocious kid with a multitude of talents and a dark home life filled with hidden abuse. He excelled in math, music and art�quite an achievement, considering that his family moved around so much that he attended a total of sixteen different schools. Humor was always his defense and his weapon. As a young man he attended the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and studied fine art at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas.
The decision to become a full-time painter came later in his life, after stints as a mechanical engineer, commercial illustrator, caricature artist and successful entrepreneur. Nothing came easy�-he fought his way into an art career, inventing his own one-of-a-kind style.
Olives entered the picture when Godard was struggling through his daughter Paige�s illness, spending long hours in the hospital when she was in a coma. Desperate for some cheerful element to keep him afloat emotionally, he started a new series of paintings--bringing olives to life in humorous scenarios, rendering them in bright colors against a dramatic black background.
�Three Amigos�, �Olive Party� and �Seven Deadly Zins� were all breakthrough pieces for the young artist, launching him to national recognition. His wild marketing stunts brought more notoriety. �I don�t mind criticism from the art world or the public,� says the artist. �Without it, I�d know I�m playing it way too safe.�
Now the country�s biggest selling artist, the �Rock Star of the Art World� creates his famous martini-themed artwork for a huge collector base of celebrities, musicians and regular folks who love his irreverent subjects and vibrant style. There�s a long waiting list for Godard original paintings and his sold-out giclees bring big bucks on the resale market.
You might spot Godard on television on HBO�s �Cat House�, A&E�s �Mind Freak�, �American Casino� and �Inked�, among other places. A documentary on his life won awards when it was shown on the independent film festival circuit and his recent book �Don�t Drink and Draw� won the Art Book of the Year award.
He looks like a tattooed outlaw and runs with the bad boys, but Godard has a soft streak a mile wide. He�s a great dad, contributes to many charitable causes, (including the Paige Godard Foundation, established to help fund research to cure the illness that ultimately took his daughter�s life in 2006) and has learned in the school of experience to value the things that really matter in life. �Put good in, get good out,� is one of the artist�s favorite sayings.

What federal laws provide protections for individuals with disabilities?
There are many federal laws that provide protection for individuals with disabilities. The U.S. Department of Justice has a summary of these laws in its publication, "A Guide to Disability Rights Laws." For more information on this and similar publications, visit the ADA publications website.
Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 are civil rights laws that give protections to individuals with disabilities that attend school. Information about these laws is available from the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR).
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (IDEA) makes sure that students with disabilities in public K-12 schools receive a free appropriate public education (FAPE).
Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) programs are created because of federal laws, but they are managed by state VR agencies, to offer services related to employment for youths and adults with disabilities.

Owl pattern (Illustrator CS6)
It's been a long time since I've done anything digital (apart from artworks for TAG Publishing Services, of course) and also ages since I've done a pattern. I've been quite into owls, recently, and the girls often ask for me to draw them some to colour in (see the colouring sheet I just put up), so I thought I'd try an owl pattern. I picked the colour pallette from an Illustrator CS6 'Earth tones' swatch and chose three colours for the owls and one for the background.
I really like my owl pattern though, as always when I make a pattern, I'm seeing bits to tweak still. The two terracotta owls next to each other are jarring me, especially as they both have dot motifs on them, and there are also lots of blue owls next to each other, though they are less jarring. I think I might need one more colour to avoid that, or just work out meticulously!

As I was looking through my old posts to see my coverage of Ahmed H.'s trial for terrorism, which took place in 2016, I found to my astonishment that I hadn't even mentioned the name of this Syrian man who received ten years for allegedly committing terrorism at the Serbian-Hungarian border. I have often been told that over the years the posts of Hungarian Spectrum can more or less serve as a timeline of Hungarian politics. I'm trying to cover all the important events, but, as is clear from this example, I don't always succeed.
The omission is especially egregious because Ahmed's alleged terrorism case was one of the pretexts for the government's attempt to introduce a new category of emergencies that could be declared in the event of a "situation created by a terrorist threat." Ahmed's arrest and the subsequent charge of terrorism against him were followed by an unprecedented hate campaign against migrants. This Syrian man from Cyprus, where he has been living legally for the last ten years, became a symbol for all those vicious terrorists who want to overrun Hungary. The only problem with the Hungarian government's plan was that the terrorism case against Ahmed H. was mighty weak.
Even if I missed covering the original trial, I can now make up for it, at least in part, by reporting on the ruling of the appellate court on June 15 and by recalling some of the events that led to the news that Ahmed has a second chance to receive a fair trial. The appellate court found the work of the court of first instance so flawed that the whole case must be retried–and not, as the judge made clear, by the same panel of judges.
Representatives of such civic organizations as Amnesty International and Migszol, a group formed at the time of the refugee crisis in Hungary in the summer of 2015, have been calling Ahmed H.'s trial a "conceptual show trial." Looking through the available documents, one thing is sure. The Orbán government very much wanted to find someone guilty of terrorism. It needed such a verdict for its anti-migrant drive. Ahmed seemed to fit the bill. He had a bullhorn and was talking to the crowd in several languages, including English. He allegedly incited the crowd to violence, repeatedly threatened the security forces, and then joined the disturbances that took place on September 16, 2015. He was also charged with illegally crossing the border. On November 30 Ahmed H. was sentenced to a 10-year prison term.
The trial was a mockery of judicial fairness. The judge refused to hear the testimony of more than 20 defense witnesses and ignored the fact that the prosecution's main witness, a police officer, was not certain of the accused's identity. It was true that Ahmed threw a couple of items during the melee, but there was no proof that he hit anyone. He claimed that he tried to calm the people. But even if he was guilty of all the crimes he was accused of, did Ahmed H. deserve 10 years? Gauri van Gulik, deputy director of Amnesty International for Europe, said that "to sentence Ahmed to 10 years in prison for a terrorist act is absurd."
The spokesman for Fidesz expressed the party's delight after the initial verdict was announced. He repeated the slogan on the billboards: "every migrant must learn that, once in the country, he must honor the laws of Hungary." But those outside the circle of Fidesz and its followers were stunned. The United States asked the Hungarian government to conduct a transparent investigation of the incidents at the border that would include an independent civic organization. The government should review Ahmed's case. As far as the United States is concerned, it will follow the case's future handling, the statement promised. It didn't take long for the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade to respond, telling the United States that criticizing the work of the court may be allowed in the United States but not in Hungary. Moreover, in Hungary it is not the civic organizations that decide on the guilt or innocence of people but the courts. The ministry spokesman ended his harangue by saying that "we can promise one thing: Hungary will never demand an explanation of U.S. court decisions on terrorists attacking American policemen."
A week before Ahmed H.'s case was to be continued at the Szeged Appellate Court, the Hungarian media reported that Péter Bárándy, one of the best lawyers in Hungary who was minister of justice between 2002 and 2004 in the Medgyessy government, was going to be Ahmed's defense lawyer. (There is some indirect evidence that Bárándy had been working on the case since at least March.)
Ahmed H. has had four lawyers, including Bárándy. First, he had a court-appointed lawyer. Then a local Szeged lawyer took over who, according to a member of Migszol, "during the trial sat quietly and wasted not one word in defense of his client." Two weeks before the end of the trial he quit. The accused got another court-appointed lawyer who apparently did at least try to defend his client, unfortunately without much success.
The news of Péter Bárándy's appearance as the lawyer for the defense was not exactly welcome news in government circles, but it did give Fidesz leaders an opportunity to connect "terrorism" with its alleged supporters, the Hungarian liberals and socialists. In fact, Gyula Budai, the man who in 2010 was entrusted by Viktor Orbán to bring all socialist and liberal "criminals" to justice, gave a press conference in which he charged that the Soros organizations, Brussels, and the socialists are working hand in hand to free Ahmed H. and therefore "they support terrorism." He used strong words like "while Europe is terrified of terrorism, Brussels is openly supporting it." He wanted to know "who is paying the lawyer" and called on MSZP to give an account.
At the trial the prosecutor mostly praised the excellent decision that had been reached in the lower court. But he found the sentence of 10 years, the minimum for those accused of terrorism, insufficient and asked the court for 17.5 years instead. It was then Bárándy's turn, who pointed out that he found 205 serious mistakes in the proceedings of the lower court. Here, of course, I cannot recount all of them. But I think a couple of examples will give a good idea of the kind of justice that was meted out to Ahmed H. A key charge against him was that he was the leader of the crowd that was throwing rocks against the police. A video, however, showed that the rock throwing had been going on for at least 45 minutes before Ahmed got hold of the bullhorn. In addition, the judge ignored the existence of a video taken by a policewoman which, as opposed to other videos, also contained sound and it doesn't support Ahmed's alleged incitement of the crowd. On the contrary, he can be heard saying to the fellow refugees "please, wait, stay here," "please advise," "we speak English, we don't want an Arabic interpreter, we are asking for someone who speaks English." And finally he told the refugees in Arabic, "no, wait, go back, please go back." The verdict also claimed that Ahmed gave the police two hours to open the border. How did the police know this? He held up two fingers. But this can also mean "victory." Finally, he was found guilty of illegally crossing the border, but even that judgment was wrong because Ahmed had free access to all EU countries, including Hungary. At the most, Ahmed was guilty of a misdemeanor (szabálysértés).
After the appellate court sent the case back to the lower court for a retrial, Zsolt Bayer wrote an opinion piece in Magyar Idők titled "H. Bárándy and Ahmed Péter." Bayer may seem to have gotten a little mixed up. I assume you get the gist of what he wants to tell us. It was a relief to read close to the end of the article that "we are not going to incarcerate the judge [of the appellate court] or H. Bárándy." That's awfully charitable.
Let's end this post on a lighter note. The management of state television M1 channel most likely was certain that the Ahmed H.'s verdict would not be reversed or annulled. Perhaps he will even get 17.5 years as the prosecution demanded. They decided to send a camera crew to the trial along with their legal experts who were supposed to give live commentary. For three solid hours one could watch the trial. Once the decision was handed down, however, M1 ended the live broadcast in a great hurry. No further commentary necessary.
The reaction of the top Fidesz leadership has been as expected–a complete denial of any possibility that the original verdict could be flawed and a charge that the socialists, the civic organizations, Brussels, and everybody else under the sun are working together to open the borders and let in all those migrants who are in Bayer's words members of "the terrible mob of Mordor, the Third World."

September 29, 2002When I got up Saturday morning I had every intention of drawing a full week of Schlock, and knocking the ol' buffer up to 28. Sadly, about halfway through 'buffer=22' I got distracted. I finished that one, and then went and had a rather more ordinary, domestic sort of Saturday than I typically do.
Many of you who frequent the forums are aware of the fact that I own a few firearms. For a long time I've been guilty of 'security through obscurity' on these, placing them out of reach and mostly disassembled, rather than buying a gun safe. This is not because I'm an idiot. It's because I'm a LAZY idiot.
Today I went out and looked at lock-boxes, and I realized that for a mere $100 I could have the peace-of-mind only possible when your firearms are locked away in a steel cabinet. Had I not been so lazy, I could have learned this YEARS ago. Fortunately, the guns are now locked away, and it got done before anyone got shot (except for the three people I shot on purpose, but that's another story).
I learned something interesting about the folks who manufacture gun cabinets: they believe that people who own enough firearms to require a cabinet also own and love tools. I mean, I've assembled Sauder bookcases and the assorted computer hutch from Wal-Mart on several occasions, and those typically come packed with any tool you'll need short of a screw-driver. Some of them even come with a screwdriver.
Not so the Stack-On brand gun cabinet. This was made by folks whose target market is full of people who open the box saying to themselves "Ah'm hopin' ah hafta get out mah socket set fer this."
In order to install it correctly, you will need (and I'm not kidding here):
- 1 Phillips-head screwdriver
- a Vise-grip wrench
- a socket wrench, and the right sized socket
- a drill, and a 3/16ths bit
- a stud-finder
- a pencil
- a flashlight
- a hammer
- a carpet knife
- a tape measure
- paint, brushes, drop-cloths, thinner, and masking tape
- a miter box and saw
- finishing nails
- carpet tacks
- inhumanly long arms
- another person
Fortunately, I'm just clever enough (barely) to figure out that the cabinet does not need to be installed correctly in order to be installed securely. No, it's not bolted to the floor. Yes, I bolted it to the studs. No, did not remove the baseboard moulding behind it. No, it's not level. No, I will not be attempting to serve drinks on it. Yes, it's now full of guns. Yes, the key is in a safe place. No, I'm not telling you where.
Doing this work got me to feeling domestic, so the piece of furniture I snagged at the garage sale that originally distracted me got repaired. I mean, as long as I've got the drill out, I might as well go get a dowel and some glue.
Time Life Books probably says nothing about using your wife's long-handled gardening shears to trim hard-wood dowels to the right length. I probably shouldn't say anything about it either -- she reads this letter sometimes.

Great location. Friendly staff (some of them).
If it wasn't for Santiago, I would've given the service 2 stars!
Santiago was extremely friendly, honest and caring; he most certainly cares about the guests at the hotel!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I stayed at "The Duke" during the first week of March 2011, and it was an enjoyable experience. Staff members speak English, and they're very helpful. There are several places to eat nearby, including the hotel's own Italian restaurant. The hotel is just a couple of blocks from the ocean and within walking distance of tourist attractions, including Conde Street. Another plus is the busy bodega across the street from the hotel; it's a great place to sit, sip, and watch the world go by.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
For a budget hotel... this far exceeded our expectations. Location is perfect for nice walk to Zona Colonial or El Conde for amazing shopping! Best part is that the whole hotel is wireless! It was perfect. Great and inexpensive food right next door. We were here for the Carnaval and it was only a 4 minute walk to the Malecon for a fantastic view of the festivities. I'll definitely be back! Hector at the front desk is fabulous, fluent in English and very helpful.

Keystone is the best place for families to ski and play!! Keystone Ski School has the best instructors and my kids had a blast and beg to go for another day, this are second year and they do not dissapoint. Even for Spring Break there were no long lines and we were pleasantly suprised how not crowded the resort was. The condo has a beautiful view of the mountains, the shuttle is right next to the building as well as Keystone Lake which you can ice skate on in winter. We would take walks and let the kids play at the playground in the evenings and were able to view several moose out near the rivers edge. The condo itself was even nicer than the pictures and very roomy for our family of six. Very comfortable and accommodating, especially the living room area which is hard to find. My family especially enjoyed getting outside and spending time on the patio deck to play with snow and watch the mountain. The room service/concierge was amazing and immediately assisted with needed towels or toiletries. The location is only a few minutes from the slopes if you are driving and convenient to Silverthorne, Dillon & Frisco as well, which is where we go to eat and for groceries. And the garage door everyone comments about my family never even noticed. Our family had the best time and can't wait to go back to Keystone and this fabulous condo!
Everything was wonderful - lot of places to hang out. Owners were great to work with very responsive. The only issue I would say is getting our stuff into the condo without access to the garage. The maintenance people helped us out. The adults and kids loved the stay just as much
We loved out stay at the Decator Lodge in the Keystone Resort. The unit is large and very comfortable for our family of four. It is very well appointed and the Shuttle has two stops right outside the door. The Ski lockers are very handy. It was very clean, and had everything we needed. We would absolutely stay here again.
We had a 3-day ski trip at Jeff and Shannon's place. The place is perfect for 6 people to stay. They provide everything we need and the customer service is helpful when the heater is not working. We've been to Breckenridge, Keystone and Vail during the stay. The location is great and the price is affordable even during holiday season! The only reminder is there're couple of stairs in the unit might not suitable for elderly people. We'll definitely recommend Jeff and Shannon's place for holiday getaways.
Great spacious place, entrance is just steps from shuttle stop to the slopes. Easy communication with host. Will stay again!
We stayed a week from Christmas to New Year's. We were very pleased with the location in Keystone and accessibility to the shuttles to the villages and ski slopes in the Keystone Ski area. We walked to the ice skating rink it is very close by. It took approximately 20 minutes to drive by car to Frisco for snow tubing 40 minutes to Good times for snowmobiling in Breck and a little over an hour to Vail Village. This condo has an easily accessible gas station convenience store close but is also only 10 minutes or so to City Market (grocery store) Silverthorne is 10-15 minutes away with lots of stores, you sure do not feel like you're in the middle of no where. The location is great. One downfall to this unit as previously mentioned is the garage door below to the parking garage for owners. However if you live in a home with a garage you should be used to this noise. The other is the laundry is not in the unit, there are coin operated machines in the building. It wasn't too inconvenient though because housekeeping will swap you out dirty for clean towels. This unit is one of few with a very large balcony and has lots of windows in the living room. The professional photos do it justice, it's an extremely clean, well decorated unit. The bathrooms had heated floor tiles which was really nice for us Floridians. Overall our experience here was excellent! This is a great owner who responds quickly and gives great instructions regarding checkin. We would definitely stay here in the future.

"A media criticism site with a deliberately vague name."Launched in early 2013 but significantly longer in planning, Chez Apocalypse was originally envisaged as a dedicated site for Team NChick, intended to give them an identity separate to That Guy With the Glasses. When the time came to actually create the site, however, Lindsay Ellis decided to expand its focus and make it a gathering place for the more analytical Internet reviewers.Chez Apocalypse announced in July of 2014 that all of its shows (excluding The Bunny Perspective, which had been dropped the previous year) would be joining That Guy With the Glasses (now Channel Awesome) as part of that sites talent pick up. In January of 2015 Lindsay Ellis announced that she was leaving Channel Awesome and retiring the Nostalgia Chick character, although she would still be producing new shows for Chez Apocalypse. A few days later it was announced that Oancitizen would be leaving Channel Awesome as well. Blip's shutdown on August of 2015 has more or less permanently put the site out of commission. The creator's videos are still available on their YouTube or Channel Awesome pages.

Top 5 moments for East and West from the 2010 season

No one expected either the Victoria West Warriors or Victoria East Titans to do what they did this season.
Two new schools splitting players from what was thought to be a mediocre Class 5A program were maybe supposed to finish on the cusp of the playoffs, if make them at all.
What no one saw coming was the kind of performance both teams put on. The Titans massacred most of their opponents from the word go, and the Warriors battled for almost every win they got. There were a lot of big moments from the 2010 season, and here are the top five for each team:
For Victoria West
Off to a good start: Victoria West gets a strong performance all around from a lot of players, especially wide receiver Seth Harrison and quarterback Kyle Motal, to beat San Antonio Brackenridge in its opener on Sept. 4.
Back in a big way: The Warriors, on a bad losing streak and struggling enter the playoffs, take out their frustrations on bi-district opponent San Antonio Jefferson. Victoria West held the Mustangs to just a first half field goal while notching 31 first half points on its way to its first playoff win. Chris Franklin ran for 175 yards.
Big win: Fourth and goal on the four-yard line, Kyle Motal finds Zach Mueller in the end zone for a touchdown and Felipe Bastida hits the extra point to help the Warriors beat Beeville 35-34. Just minutes earlier, Jayce Serrano rounded the corner and blocked the Trojans PAT attempt in overtime, giving the Warriors a big opening.
Late comeback: Down at the half to San Antonio Highlands, Carlos Eddington forces a big fumble on the kickoff to start the second half, allowing West to rally back from a 21-7 halftime deficit to pick up its second win of the season, 28-21.
Last-second heroics: Down by four in the waning seconds of the game against South San, Kyle Motal finds Jared Dolezal in the end zone for the game winning touchdown with 22 seconds remaining from 17 yards out. It was the second of three consecutive, come-from-behind wins.
For Victoria East
Opening blowout: Victoria East opens its season in stunning fashion, beating up Harlingen South with 27 first- quarter points en route to a dominant 76-35 drubbing of the Hawks. The Titans ran for a whopping 406 yards, and Ervin Yates had 106 of those yards with two TDs.
Who's the best? The Titans take on their crosstown rival for the first time in front of what was called by athletic director Ralph Escalona one of the largest crowds in Memorial Stadium history. Roderick Warren rushes for 128 yards and five touchdowns in the first half on his way to 165 yards on 18 carries and a 48-21 Victoria East win that wasn't nearly as close as the score suggested.
Rally back: Down in their area game against Mission Veterans Memorial 33-31 at the half, the Titans hold the Patriots to just seven second-half points and turn up the offense to advance behind Johnathan Garner's 212 yards and Yates' 170.
With a bang: The Titans open district play with a powerful message to the rest of their opponents, getting 19 second-quarter points and a strong performance from Josh McClure, who caught five passes and two touchdowns for 77 yards.
Flying start: It's a game that doesn't carry a lot of big memories, but Steven Martinez provided one Week 2 against Calallen, taking the opening kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown, part of a big, 21-point first quarter that wouldn't hold. Even in defeat, it proved to be a turning point.

SHARON Rowley did not vote for her husband Dr Keith Rowley yesterday as he sought to become the political leader of the People's National Movement (PNM) for a second successive term yesterday.
It is not that she did not want to.
Sharon Rowley's name was misspelt on the party's voters' list and she was unable to cast a ballot for her husband.
This was one of several "teething problems" experienced by voters as they turned up at various polling stations across the country to participate in the PNM's first "one man, one vote" internal elections.
Rowley, who spearheaded the initiative to allow the "one man, one vote" policy in the PNM, was not immune to the hiccups experienced in this inaugural activity.
Voting started at 8 a.m. yesterday.
Around 10. 53 a.m., Rowley arrived at the Diego Martin West polling station, which was located at St Anthony's College, Westmoorings to cast his vote.
By that time some 200 people were said to have already voted at the school.
Others stood in line waiting for their opportunity to do so.
"I did not expect this kind of crowd," Maria Alexis said.
The length of time spent in line waiting to vote was one of the concerns raised by voters at the Diego Martin West polling station.
Rowley addressed these concerns, saying "some hiccups" were expected and that the party will work out the kinks the next time.
"I am a little anxious with respect to the logistics, but we have worked quite hard, we have made best efforts to enable our party's members to take part in this process and so far from all the reports things are going very smoothly around the country. I got reports from across the country and the interest is very high," Rowley said.
"We expect that there will be some hiccups here and there, but you must remember where we are coming from. We are coming from a place where we had a database where people joined the party all over the country and would have moved around, unlike the EBC (Elections and Boundaries Commission) there is no continuous enumeration so some people might think that they are in the PNM in one area, forgetting where they joined the party and the records are by the constituency where you joined, unless you had in fact taken steps to change your position," he said.
Rowley lauded the participation in the process and said his wife Sharon was also a victim of the logistical issues
"The process has not stopped, we will discover problems today which we will fix, for example, if you turn up like my wife turned up today her name was on the list. We checked and it was there but in transposing it in the data entry some one of the youngsters, probably tired after hours of work, put her name down as...misspelt her name. So if your name is misspelt and everything is correct but your name is misspelt, technically speaking, she is not on the list," Rowley said.
"She is disappointed she can't vote for me, but she understands that the process will be improved."
Rowley said the issue of the length of time being taken to vote was because, unlike a general election, voters are voting for 15 positions as opposed to one.

Put park plan to a vote
Here we go again. Why is this ill-conceived, special-interest fitness/skateboard park still even worthy of discussion/consideration?
As stated before, if one looks to get fit, use the parks we have that offer everything anyone could want. If the folks so interested in a true "fitness" park would put workout stations for pull-ups, push-ups, leg-lifts, etc., in Woodcrest Park along the walking trails, much like is on Lookout Park, then it might be worthy of consideration, because that would constitute a fitness park — with the emphasis in "fitness" versus "skateboard" park, which is the real intent of some elected officials.

I-35 routes a mess
It is patently evident that neither the Texas Department of Transportation's Josh Donat nor the Northeast Herald have taken the time to take the I-35 Northbound Olympia Parkway exit as Donat stated ( "Motorists can use two alternate routes to get to Forum Parkway: Exit at Olympia Parkway, cross over I-35, go on the south bound frontage road and turn left on the overpass entering Forum Parkway"), or looked at any of the various mapping programs available on the Internet.
After exiting I-35 northbound on the access road you pass Agora Parkway, which takes you right into the northern part of The Forum with only one stop sign.
Instead, Donat's directions take you past that access point, under the Olympia Parkway overpass, through a 270-degree right turn to cross I-35, to take the southbound access to Forum Parkway, and eventually across I-35 a second time.
Also, just exactly what is a "braided-style ramp." Any Internet search will take you to a number of explanations, but the V(irginia)DOT You Tube link looks very similar — without the TX Loop 1604 crossing over I-35 — to what will be there. In other words, the exit from I-35 North goes under the entrance "overpass" to I-35 North from Loop 1604.
This resembles what was done on Loop 410 between Blanco and Broadway before the flyovers were put for its interchange with U.S. 281, but were demolished and the same conflicting crossing exit-entrance conflict was put back.
How stupid does TXDOT think we are? What a travesty.

DULUTH, Minn. — A former Harbor City International School teacher and College of St. Scholastica employee has been charged with a sex crime after an alleged relationship with a 17-year-old student.
Christopher Donald Bacigalupo, 50, faces a felony count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct. He was charged by summons in St. Louis County District Court in Duluth and ordered to appear in court on Aug. 28.
The woman, now 22, told police that Bacigalupo was an adviser and counselor to her at the high school. She said they began a relationship that included "kissing, oral sex and other 'stuff'" late in 2009, when she was a 17-year-old senior, according to the criminal complaint. That relationship progressed to include sexual intercourse after she turned 18 and was attending the College of St. Scholastica, where Bacigalupo was working at the time.
Bacigalupo allegedly admitted to a relationship with the girl, but said they did not engage in sexual intercourse until after she turned 18 and denied being in a position of authority over her.
The age of consent in Minnesota is typically 16, but state statutes allow for a person in a "position of authority" and more than four years older than a 16- or 17-year-old victim to be tried on criminal sexual conduct charges.
Bacigalupo, who worked in St. Scholastica's information technology department, has not been with the college since July 17, according to spokesman Bob Ashenmacher. He has not worked at Harbor City for about four years, executive director Paul McGlynn said recently.
Attempts to reach Bacigalupo for comment Monday were unsuccessful. Court records indicate that he has not yet retained an attorney.
According to the criminal complaint:
The woman came to police in June to report what she believed to be an inappropriate sexual relationship with Bacigalupo. She stated that she had known Bacigalupo, who taught theater classes, since she started at Harbor City as a freshman.
"(Bacigalupo) served as her advisor when she started at the school as a freshman and he continued to be the primary person that she would go to with issues while at Harbor City," the complaint states. "She detailed a great amount of trust and she respected the defendant as her advisor and counselor."
The sexual relationship began during her senior year in the fall of 2009, she reported. She stated they engaged in kissing and oral sex on two or three occasions at Harbor City.
"(She) noted that the defendant treated this as he was 'teaching' her and that he would make her feel special," according to the complaint. "She also commented that the defendant would tell her not to discuss the relationship, as it would cost him his daughter. She also stated that he told her that she would lose friends."
The girl also was enrolled in a Post-Secondary Enrollment Options program at St. Scholastica. Bacigalupo left Harbor City in February 2010 to go to work at the college, and the girl reported that their relationship progressed there after she turned 18. She eventually left for college, but said Bacigalupo continued to try to contact her.
"(She) stated that she felt concerned by the messages and as such reported the incident to her mother," the complaint states. "As time has gone on, she stated she has realized that what the defendant had done was wrong and she wanted the matter reported."
Bacigalupo declined to speak to police, but did provide a statement through an independent investigation conducted by St. Scholastica. He allegedly admitted to engaging in sexual intercourse, but said it did not occur until after the girl turned 18.
He said he saw the girl on a daily basis during her time at Harbor City, but did not realize she was attending St. Scholastica when he transferred there. He denied any power differential between the two, despite his professional position.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – People without health insurance in rural areas are less likely to be up-to-date for routine health check-ups and cancer screening than those with coverage, according to a new study.
Cancer screening has been a contentious issue in recent years. Even by government-backed U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) standards, which some consider to be relatively conservative, screening rates for breast and cervical cancer were low in the study. Only about half of women in the Oregon-based research met USPSTF recommendations.
"People in rural areas tend to go to the doctor only when they are ill, so they don't get the chance to talk about cancer screenings," said Dr. Patricia Carney, a researcher at Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, who led the study.
Previous studies have shown that screening rates are lower among the uninsured, but that research has focused on people in towns and cities.
For the new study, partially funded by the American Cancer Society (ACS), researchers analyzed a decade of medical charts at two private health practices and two federally funded public health centers in rural Oregon. The study included more than 3,000 men and women, all at least 55 years old when the study began.
About 10% of participants lacked insurance coverage. Those with coverage had either private insurance, or a combination of private insurance, Medicare and Medicaid. The insurance status of about 16% of patients was unknown.
According to the report online May 30th in the journal Cancer, people with private insurance were much more likely to be up-to-date for some ACS recommended cancer screenings than people without insurance.
ACS mammography guidelines (which recommend mammograms starting at age 40) went unmet by 56% of women with insurance, compared to 78% of uninsured women, and 70% of those with Medicare or Medicaid.
When the findings were adjusted to reflect USPSTF guidelines, which recommend mammograms every other year starting at 50, the likelihood of women overall not being up to date for breast and cervical cancer screening fell from 70% to 48%.
For colon cancer screening, 58% of women with private insurance did not meet ACS guidelines — which recommend screening starting at the age of 50, just as the USPSTF does — compared to 87% of women without coverage, and about 57% of those with Medicare or Medicaid.
About half of insured men were not up-to-date for colon cancer screening, compared to almost 90% of uninsured men, but the difference was not statistically significant.
"The truth is, the people with insurance had appallingly low screening rates, too," said Dr. Alfred Neugut, an epidemiologist and oncologist from Columbia University in New York, who wasn't part of the study team.
Dr. Carney and Dr. Neugut agreed that there are likely many reasons why screening rates are low, from distances to the nearest health center to lack of interest in health care. But in the new study, cancer screening seemed to be linked to annual health visits.
"If you have insurance of any kind, you are more likely to go for a health visit, and if you have a health visit, you're more likely to be up to date for cancer screening," said Dr. Carney.
Even so, researchers found very low rates of health check-ups among the people they surveyed: more than half hadn't been for a check-up in the last two years.
For Dr. Carney, the message is clear: more health insurance means more health visits and more screening, and the Affordable Care Act could lead to improvements. Later this month, the Supreme Court will rule on the act, which eliminates the need to pay a deductible, co-pay or coinsurance for preventative cancer screening.
"If the healthcare act is implemented, it could really change people's ability to get cancer screenings…They would not be influenced anymore by all these out of pocket costs," said Dr. Carney.

Reviews of this property
studio very well located in an area at once calm and animated. Excellent stay. thank you to mariano Elbio.
studio très bien placé dans une zone à la fois calme et animée. excellent sejour. merci à mariano elbio.
the apartment was overall good but the most annoying wifi I have ever used, this is not a wifi apartment, you need to go out from the apartment to make it work. If the wifi had worked this would have been a four star apartment, overall good but not perfect.
pluses are:
+The host Elbino
+SIze and furnishing
minuses are:
-No fan so its hard to fry on the pan.
The flat is awesome, very well situated, nice furniture, very good bed. My only point of critique is that the wifi does not work in the flat and that you have to go into an extra room to have internet access.
We very much enjoyed our stay at the apartment. The location was perfect, at the main plaza in San Telmo, where you have live mus and tango every night. And the Sunday market is right on the doorstep. The apartment is clean and spacious and offers everything you need. Great value for money. I highly recommend the place.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Wir hatten eine gute Zeit in der kleinen Loft von Mariano. Es war sauber und hatte alles nötige vorhanden. Mit einer kleinen Küche ausgestattet hat man alles zum selber kochen. Das Viertel San Telmo ist sehr spannend und man ist nahe an allen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Nachts sollte man ein Bisschen aufpassen allerdings nicht mehr als in anderen Grossstädten auch.
Das war mein 12. Aufenthalt in Buenos Aires. Bei kurzen Aufenthalten nehme ich ein Hotelzimmer, bei Aufenthalten ab 10 Tagen ein Apartment. War zum ersten Mal bei Mariano: Nette, (ruhige!) Unterkunft in San Telmo. Einrichtung einfach, aber zweckmäßig. Mikrowelle und Geschirr waren nicht gerade sauber. Die Gegend ist, was die Sicherheit angeht, tagsüber völlig unproblematisch; nachts nicht so ganz - empfehlenswert, nach 23:00 Uhr sich mit dem (in Bs As kostengünstigen) Taxi direkt vor die Haustür fahren zu lassen.
Organisatorische Abwicklung (Schlüsselübergabe, Kommunikation vorab): erstklassig.
Very very quiet place, absolutely no noise, as Mariano says it's like an oasis! 10mn walk from the Aerbusezeiza stop to the airport (av Begrano/Passeo Colon) close to several food shop and buses. Wifi sometimes weak. An old house with a nice patio but even if we felt secure, the street may look a little bit strange. Anyway i would recommend this place though a bit expensive considering the area.
Thank you very much for a very peaceful place in a very nice neighborhood and that will certainly become one of the trendiest neighborhoods of Buenos Aires. We felt really good dice or the moment we stepped through the door .I highly recommend this place
Merci beaucoup pour cet endroit trés paisible dans un quartier fort sympathique et qui certainement va devenir un des quartiers branchés de Buenos Aires . Nous nous sommes senties réellement bien dés l'instant ou nous avons franchi la porte .Je recommande vivement ce lieu
Very nice and well located.
Très agréable et bien situé.
The apartment is well situated in San Telmo, very central, a lot of places can be reached easily by a short walk. It was equipped with everything you need for cooking and it was also quiet.
