Die Wohnung lag in einem großen Wohnkomplex mit hohem Sicherheitsstandard. Das Gelände war umzäunt, mit einem Zahlenschloß gesichert und mit diversen Kameras versehen. In der Tiefgarage gab es einen PKW-Stellplatz. Der Strand und auch die Innenstadt waren schnell zu Fuß zu erreichen. Es gab mehrere kleine Geschäfte in unmittelbarer Nähe. Nachteilig waren die täglichen Bauarbeiten entlang der Gleise. Es wurde direkt neben dem Gebäudekomplex bereits in der Frühe gebaggert. Die Wohnung befand sich leider nicht im sauberen Zustand. Im Brotbehälter befand sich noch altes Brot. Daher hatte man den Behälter wohl oben auf den Küchenschrank gestellt. Das Badezimmer hatte keine Fenster, kein Wunder das sich Schimmelflecken an der Decke gebildet hatten. Die Matratzen und Kissen waren sehr schmuddelig. Im Wasserkocher hatten die Vormieter vermutlich Milch gekocht, daher unbenutzbar. Der WC-Halter hing am seidenen Faden usw. Wir waren insgesamt trotzdem zufrieden. Würden diese Wohnung allerdings nicht wieder wählen.
Apartment very good and nice and closed to the main area Monte Casino. Minus one star depending on somewhat bad parking possibilities for the cars. Minus one star then the apartment's wireless internet no good. Very slow! Internet must be upgraded. We used our from Sweden brought wifi with roaming instead. The 4g is good in Poland. Very nice people in the rental company. We found Sopot a very nice place and we recommend it!

We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was as we had expected. Big advantages was the spacious rooms and the location. Our host was extremly service minded and made sure that we got the most out of our stay.
The only remark is that the apartment wasn't cleaned Hood enough after the former guests.
We would definatly recommend this apartment!
It was a very nice apartment with a good locasion.
Nice and clean Apartment located in a quiet street, but still close to Monte Cassino. Large enough for a family of five. Our host was service minded and followed up our queries rather promptly.
The apartment "Grande" was dirty. The oven had not been cleaned, there was old food in the freezer and the floors were dirthy. The kitchen was not equipped for 7 people and there was no mop to clean the floors. The only place to dry clothes and towels was a broken drying rach. We called the owner and he fixed everthing except the drying rack and the hole week we had difficulties to dry our clothes and towels
The owner was helpful and reachable and ordered taxies for us both ways. The apartment was big enough for 7 people
We enjoyed our stay in Sopot a lot. The apartment has a nice location, it's close to the beach and in the heart of Sopot. The facilities are great, too. The only thing we missed, though, was wifi. Our contact person was service minded and helpfull. Thank you!

Released: Nov 25th, 2013
Running Time: 144 Min.
Director: Mason (director) (II)
Company: Hard X
Distribution Companies: O.L. Entertainment
DVD Extras: Behind the Scenes, Cumshot Recap, Still Gallery(ies)
Cast: Erik Everhard, A.J. Applegate, Mick Blue, Jayden Jaymes, Jada Stevens, Johnny Sins, Christy Mack
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Anal, Big Butt
Directed by the award-winning Mason, "Big Anal Asses" features an all-star collection of curvaceous girls in passionately intense gonzo scenes shot in beautiful locations. Starring Christy Mack, Jada Stevens, A.J. Applegate, and Jayden Jaymes. Featuring four relentless anal scenes with iconic teases that will leave your jaw on the floor.
Big booty beauties get their asses filled very well in this top-notch effort directed by hardcore great Mason. The tease segments here are all directed and shot exceptionally well.
Jada Stevens floats on a yellow raft in a pool and rocks her curves gorgeously before she joins Mick Blue indoors for some hard, deep anal action. Jayden Jaymes has beautiful big titties and her butt looks fabulous here. No wonder she won the Best Body AVN Fan Award this year ... her luscious, soapy car wash before Blue fucks her ass is a thing of beauty.
Inked beauty Christy Mack poses on a yellow beach towel in front of a leering Mason. Mack can arch her back gloriously and the effect of that is not lost on Erik Everhard, who dives his face into her crotch at the first given opportunity. Everhard humps her ass crack before he gets to business in her butthole. Business is superb and Mack cums a ton from the anal. Great stuff.

NaNoWrimo for Beginners: Writing Fast and Furious
So, you've discovered this thing called National Novel Writing Month and you're thinking of giving it a try this year, and you don't know what's in stored for you. I'm not going to talk about the insanity you're about to fall into. That would take a whole other tutorial. Nor am I going to talk about the little tricks to boost your word count, there are plenty of those around. What this tutorial will be about, is typing speed.
The count of 50 000 words a month, 1667 words a day wasn't taken as a goal of the NaNoWriMo on a whim. It was carefully selected because it's near the lower boundary for a novel (the number varies, of course, because, as usual, people can only agree to disagree, so there are several different classifications. And it also depends on the genre - young adult novels are usually around 40 000 - 50 000, while epic fantasy can get to the size of a New York phone book (or several), but general consensus is that anything under 40 000 is considered a novella), but more impo
Preparing for NaNoWriMo Part 2In my last journal, we discussed the best ways to prepare for NaNo and included a couple tips on how to make that writing go a little faster and smoother. Well, now it's time to discuss how to NOT fail at NaNoWriMo. Because just as there are some really grand ideas on how to prepare yourself and keep yourself on task during the month, there are also going to be those times of self doubt and using excuses to not write. For NaNo, any of those excuses are completely unacceptable [well, except for life threatening excuses - those are allowed].
So once again, I reached out to the Lit Community to find out exactly why other deviants failed at NaNo, or what they found to NOT work for them and compiled it all together in a pretty little list like last time.
What Not to Do
Don't get sucked in Wikipedia, TVtropes or any other sites like that. In fact turn off your WiFi so the internet isn't a distraction. All your research
NaNo Pro Tip: Be Accountable (Got Peer Pressure?)There's a reason 300,000 writers do this TOGETHER ever year. NaNoWriMo isn't just a writing exercise, it's a community art movement. It's something that we do with the support of our friends -- the ones we know, the ones we don't know yet, and the ones that will be complete strangers again on December 1st.
Go Go NaNo!
So how does this ginormous group of people manage to write novels in a month? I mean, let's face it, people do it. Lots of them. And it's not just because they're fantastic, prolific, genius writers. (Some are. But, just sayin'.)
Let's talk about peer pressure. Usually, it's a bad thing. HEY JIMMY, I DARE YOU TO JUMP OFF THAT BRIDGE WITHOUT A HELMET! IT WILL BE HILAAARIOUS. You know, that sort of thing. &
Get a Jump on NaNoWriMo 2012: PreWriting Prowess!I've talked a lot about prewriting. But prewriting is kind of vague, especially for someone who is either new to noveling/writing, or even for a seasoned writer who just has never tried prewriting. Or, you know, I bet there are plenty of folks out there who prewrite and just don't call it that. But I thought today I'd share my prewriting process, starting back on September 8, 2012, at 12:30 am, when I began planning my novel for NaNoWriMo 2012.
OK, I'll admit it, I spent way too much time at Target picking up a pile of notebooks while poor Boyfriend waited in the cafe, and then I came home and agonized over which one to pick. But then I came home and I wrote the working title on the cover. Et voila!
THE notebook for my NaNo 12 pro
Ready for NaNoWriMo yet?So it's National Novel Writing Month!
I know you're all pretty tired of seeing NaNo blogs pop up everywhere and that's why this blog is only a recollection of resources that can help all of you with your novel, instead of our own thing about it; dA is so full of useful stuff that it feels like community spirit to link to those instead of making our own that would just be a copy of those.
We'll not only be listing them, anyway, we'll briefly explain what each article is about so you don't need to go through the ones that don't interest you.
First off, already linked above, http://www.nanowrimo.org/ . If you haven't yet, you need to get an account there and start going. There are a lot of deviants that are there, and if you're registered there let us know! We'll be keeping a list here for you to find friends. (: for NaNo writers, this website is Home.

WAITIKI is a Boston-based band playing "Exotic Tiki Entertainment from Polynesia and Beyond" - like nobody else can! It's modern "Exotica", a style of music that they loosely define as a mixture of jazz, Latin, and contemporary Asian sounds under a tropical umbrella. Exotica is sometimes referred to as "tiki", jungle tiki, lounge, or space-age-bachelor-pad too. WAITIKI is one of only a handful of bands performing live Exotica in the world.
WAITIKI decided to embrace the "space-age bachelor pad" sounds of the late great Juan Garcia Esquivel. Esquivel's knack for zany antics and wild instrumentation struck a dominant-7 chord with WAITIKI, who was already sacrificing live watermelons to the founder of lounge Exotica, Martin Denny. They do traditional Exotica hits, original compositions, and anything else which permits frequent use of bird-calls, the guiro (chi-yah chih chih chi-yah chih chih) or the melodica. Yummy fun.

Being Elmo
Kevin Clash developed a "Muppet mindset" watching hours of Sesame Street and making puppets as a child. He first shared his story in his book, My Life as a Furry Red Monster: What Being Elmo Has Taught Me About Life, Love, and Laughing Out Loud. Now film fans are eagerly anticipating the new documentary Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey which won the Sundance Special Jury Prize and is in limited release. You can catch the film at the Denver Film Society starting November 16 and at the Boedecker Theater in Boulder starting November 23.
Need an Elmo fix while waiting for the DVD to be released? The Library has several favorites offering loads of facetime with Elmo:
Learning Letters with Elmo (he wants to change his name to Jelmo!)
CinderElmo (must see!)
Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
Elmo's Magic Cookbook
Elmo's Music Magic
I also like the Elmo's World series.
Topics in this series includes: Food, Water & Exercise!, Let's Play Music, Singing, Drawing & More!, Flowers, Bananas & More!, Penguins & Animal Friends, Opposites, and Springtime Fun!
Don't forget...Elmo loves YOU!

Libraries, Google, and the Transformation of Fair Use
The Hathi Trust, a partnership between 66 universities and 3 higher education consortia, is breathing a little easier now that Judge Harold Baer, Jr. of New York's Southern District has found that the Trust was within its fair use rights to allow Google to scan member library holdings, and then making the resulting files available for the reading impaired, and for use in search indexing and data mining. While this is excellent news for the educational institutions involved, it doesn't completely exonerate Google's role in the scanning project. It's notable that just last week Google abandoned it's own fair use claim in settling a different case involving the same book scanning project. Of the four factors used when considering fair use cases, Judge Baer ruled on the side of the Hathi Trust on all four.
Sound-Word Index — Emotions and their sound can invade our digital messages. Our words become flexible and vibrate according to the volume of our voices, transforming their written form into an expressive and resonating language. Without the help of body language, words can sometimes fall short in our digital conversations. However, sound, volume and rhythm can influence the spelling of our words, helping to translate our emotions hidden behind our screens.

Another blog-tracking tool... Although I am braced for mefi attack for posting this one ("non-story - there are other web log trackers" etc, etc), I'm interested to hear what me-fier's think about the ultimate viability of such a product. Is a comprehensive weblog crawler a viable product? Would google-like algorithms work? What would this mean for said "memes" and their proliferation on the net? Further, is there a potential for a "commodification of the meme?" Would the corporates, in the style of viral marketing gimmicks ("I Kiss you!"), use such a "meme tracker" to identify and exploit net culture "hot spots?"

Blogdex at media.mit.edu (The link may not work, I've gotten through twice now, both times between noon and 4pm PST, but every other time I've tried I've gotten server not available errors.)Does anyone know what this is? The times I got through it looked like an interesting cross tabulation of what is being covered in the web log world, like a handy index for people looking for entries on a certain topic. It was not complete looking when I got in last, the site mostly consisted of the front, and an "about" section, but the front page did have a list of the top ten links being talked about on currently indexed blogs. I found the link in my referer log.
Depressing as it is, I still love the Harper's Index.
The Rapture Index
The Rapture Index "by no means is meant to predict the rapture, however, the index is meant to measure the type of activity that could act as a precursor to the rapture." It tracks such data as unemployment, inflation, false Christs and, of course, plagues.

Most advanced Stamp Duty Calculator in Australia! iPhone and iPad friendly!
Do not forget to click "Calculate" button every time you update the options.
When you buy a property or a land in Australia you have to pay a stamp duty on your purchase. Stamp duty sometimes called "transfer duty" in Australia. Stamp duty tax is one of the main revenue streams for the state or territory governments. Each state or territory uses different formulas to calculate it. Exemptions and concessions are also different, so it's a real headache if you want to find out how much stamp duty you should pay. Official governmental websites also not helping much - their calculators are dated and too complicated. So we decided to collect all stamp duty rates and create user friendly Stamp Duty Calculator!
We made our stamp duty calculator as user friendly as possible. It's also responsive that means you should have the same experience if you are using it on iPad or iPhone. To start, please enter:
Then, based on the state or territory, you'll have to select other options:
Time to click CALCULATE! You get the results how much stamp duty you should pay and are you eligible to any Grants. You also get other fees for every state - Mortgage Registration Fee and Transfer Fee.
If you are going to play with other amounts - don't forget to click CALCULATE again.
Would you like to put this stamp duty calculator on your website or blog?

Movie Legends Revealed: Did Ledger's Death Alter Plans For Joker in 'Dark Knight Rises'?
We examine whether Christopher Nolan intended to feature the Joker in "The Dark Knight Rises" before the untimely death of actor Heath Ledger.
We examine whether Christopher Nolan intended to feature the Joker in "The Dark Knight Rises" before the untimely death of actor Heath Ledger.
The Dark Knight may be the hero we need and deserve, but even he makes some bonehead moves. Check out this list of his best (worst) face-palms.
Christopher Priest says it's misguided to apply psychological realism to "a bodybuilder who jumps off buildings."
The award-winning composer talks with SPINOFF about his successful collaborations with Christopher Nolan, and keying in on the human side of superheroes.
James Franco and friends create a video mashup of The Dark Knight and Beetlejuice for AOL's Making a Scene series.
The Sin City: A Dame to Kill For co-director explains why he's not able to enjoy the Caped Crusader on film, even in the hands of Christopher Nolan.
The Dark Knight actor talks with Spinoff Online about training to play Frankenstein's monster, leaving roles behind, and how he could destroy you in three swift moves.
The Dark Knight actor kept a diary to fuel his inspiration for playing Batman's greatest nemesis. Footage of the journal is now online.
Ahead of tonight's Oscar ceremony, Spinoff's Anna Pinkert imagines what the nominees for best picture might have looked like over the past five years if the Academy actually embraced science fiction and fantasy.
The costume designer for The Dark Knight Rises reveals there were scenes shot exploring the backstory of Tom Hardy's Bane that never made it into the final film. Warning: Spoilers!
With a global haul of $732 million, The Dark Knight Rises slipped past Ice Age: Continental Drift on Sunday to become the second-highest grossing film of the year, behind Marvel's The Avengers.
By now, chances are you've seen The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan's final chapter in his Batman trilogy. But… was it enough for you, or would you like to see more, somehow?

Mixed Signals Marked Sokol Meeting
Bankers Thought Pitch Was for Senior Berkshire Executive, Not High-Powered Individual Investor
When bankers from Citigroup Inc. C 0.39 % met David Sokol late last year to talk about potential transactions, they thought they were dealing with him as a senior executive of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., according to people familiar with the matter.

See details on specific lines in Mr. Buffett's letter.
Sokol: In and Out
See how Mr. Sokol's trades compare with moves in Lubrizol's stock price.
Berkshire Hathaway's Press Release
Buffett on Sokol
Read a collection of Buffett's comments about Sokol over the years
Mr. Sokol may have viewed that Dec. 13 meeting in New York differently. When asked by The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday if he met the Citigroup bankers in his capacity as a Berkshire representative or as a private investor, Mr. Sokol said he meets frequently with investment bankers and "I meet them for both" roles.
It nonetheless came as a "shock" to the Citigroup bankers when they learned Mr. Sokol bought roughly $240,000 of shares of Lubrizol Corp. a day after their meeting, sold them, and then purchased $10 million shares about two months before Berkshire's $9 billion deal unveiled March 14 to acquire Lubrizol, according to people familiar with the matter.
The shares are valued at nearly $13 million now.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating the events surrounding Mr. Sokol's stock trading and the Lubrizol deal, a person familiar with the matter said.
Mr. Sokol was chairman of Berkshire utility arm MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co. and chief executive of the Berkshire aircraft unit NetJets Inc.

Lubrizol was one of the companies reviewed by Citigroup and Mr. Sokol in that December meeting, at which Citigroup's bankers touted Lubrizol's management team and chief executive, according to people familiar with the matter.
The bankers viewed those as essential components of how Berkshire Chief Executive Warren Buffett would evaluate the chemicals concern as a possible takeover candidate, the people familiar with the matter said.
At that meeting, Mr. Sokol didn't say he was personally interested in buying Lubrizol shares, the people said. When one banker said he knew Lubrizol's chief executive, James Hambrick, Mr. Sokol asked to set up a meeting. He subsequently pitched the idea of buying Lubrizol to Mr. Buffett.
Mr. Sokol's varying roles are at the heart of the controversy over his Lubrizol stock purchases, which Mr. Sokol has said weren't a factor in his decision to resign from Berkshire this week. His state of mind may figure in a regulatory investigation of his actions.
"If Citigroup's bankers put together this list of takeover candidates because he's from Berkshire Hathaway, then in my view Sokol was so out of line it's not even funny," says Jeff Matthews, founder of hedge fund Ram Partners LP who owns Berkshire shares personally.
Many financial institutions, money managers and U.S. corporations have codes of conduct that prohibit employees from using company resources or information obtained in the course of their work to buy stocks or achieve personal gain, unless they get approval from their compliance department.
Berkshire's code of conduct states that conflicts of interest could arise when an employee "receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position at the company" and all its senior executives have to disclose any material transaction or relationship that could give rise to a conflict.
When Mr. Sokol suggested to Mr. Buffett in mid-January that Berkshire buy Lubrizol, he mentioned that he owned shares in the chemicals company.
Mr. Buffett didn't ask Mr. Sokol when he bought the shares or how much he held at the time. He learned of the details only after Berkshire agreed to buy Lubrizol in mid-March, according to his statement on Wednesday.
For the Citigroup bankers, who advised Lubrizol on the transaction, it didn't occur to them that Mr. Sokol was evaluating opportunities for himself in his talks with them, the people familiar with the matter said.
Mr. Sokol said in a separate interview with CNBC that "knowing today what I know, what I would do differently is I just would never have mentioned [Lubrizol] to Warren, and just made my own investment and left it alone."
Mr. Sokol and Berkshire didn't reply to requests for comment Friday.
A Citigroup spokesman declined comment.

The purpose of this article is to review spirituality at work literature and to explore how spirituality improves employees' performances and organizational effectiveness. The article reviews about 140 articles on workplace spirituality to review their findings on how spirituality supports organizational performance. Three different perspectives are introduced on how spirituality benefits employees and supports organizational performance based on the extant literature: (a) Spirituality enhances employee well-being and quality of life; (b) Spirituality provides employees a sense of purpose and meaning at work; (c) Spirituality provides employees a sense of interconnectedness and community. The article introduces potential benefits and caveats of bringing spirituality into the workplace; providing recommendations and suggestions for practitioners to incorporate spirituality positively in organizations.

As I passed by Michele's table one day, his head was bent into the work of weaving the dried stems of small silver onions into braids. Without looking up at me, he freed his hands to hold out a branch of tomatoes, each one so small it looked like a tight rosebud. I pulled at one and rolled it around in my mouth, chewed it slowly. Its savor and perfume were that of a two-pound sun-warmed tomato distilled, suspended inside the tiny ruby fruit. Still with his head bent, Michelle asked, "Hai capito? Have you understood?" Short for "Have you understood that these are the earth's most beautiful tomatoes?" He knew very well I'd understood.

Current Craving: Wild Cherry Tomatoes
2 comments:

What an exquisite post!ReplyDelete
I, too, live in Back Bay and shop at the Copley farmers market. Would you be willing to reveal which stand you bought the (stemmed) cherry tomatoes at?
THANK YOU so much!
I'm sorry to report that the stemmed wild cherry tomatoes seem to be gone, as are the ones without stems. I got them from a stand close to the corner of Dartmouth and St. James, across from the Copley Plaza Hotel.ReplyDelete

I bought a house in Redford Township. Without John & Jan's help, I would not have been able to complete the deal.
Their level of real estate law knowledge is astounding and they often found ways to make the process easy for me.
They went over all the documents with me personally and made sure that I had a very solid understanding of what I was signing and how it would affect my life.
Their real estate experience was the biggest factor as to why I have a home in Redford Township today, if I did not have John & Jan on my side, there's no way I would own my own home right now.
Thank you John!

I hired Attorney Keenan to handle the sale of two rental properties I owned. I found him to be knowledgable of real estate law. He prepared the necessary documents needed to sale the properties, explained the paperwork to me and the buyers and informed me of what I needed to do. I was very pleased with his work and would recommend him.

Any idea ?

Earlier I used to tuck her in with a thick cotton blanket so was snug and secure. I had to recently stop the blankets and put her in a sleep sack because she started playing with the blanket when she woke up. I was scared of suffocation risks as I slept unaware. But the sleep sack only makes her roll around in the crib like a sack of potatoes.... She wakes up crying as she often rolls into her stomach (she's a side and back sleeper only) or into other uncomfortable corners in the crib.
What do u suggest ladies?

Aviles, Spain's Mayor Santiago Rodriguez Vega led an official delegation to St. Augustine's Menendez Birthday Festival Wednesday through Saturday. The festival honors Pedro Menendez de Aviles who founded St. Augustine on Sept. 8, 1565.
Rodriguez has twice served as mayor of Aviles, St. Augustine's sister city, from 1988 to 1995 and from 1999 to the present. He is a candidate for re-election in May.
He toured The St. Augustine Record on Friday with Publisher Ronnie Hughes and Editor Jim Baltzelle. He was interviewed by Associate Editor Margo C. Pope. Mary Carmen, honorary consul for Spain for Northeast Florida, was the interpreter for Rodriguez.
Question: When was your first visit as mayor to St. Augustine?
Answer: Eight years ago in February 1995. It was an easier adventure than Pedro Menendez had. The main purpose was to recuperate relations between the two cities. Greg Baker was mayor. St. Augustine city has had four mayors since I first came. This (visit) is to capture again the relationship, now that the cities are communicating, talking.

By RALPH D. PRIDDY, Staff
When we received the letters then inviting us, I said we have to go over there. We had no idea what we would find. That first impression I will never forget. That time we connected with Greg Baker and Bill Lennon on the City Commission. We clicked.
Q: How do you see the relationship going?
A: It's working. We have great expectations and if we take it one step at a time, it will work.
We have incorporated a few programs between the two cities, the most active one is the student exchange. We are trying to get deeply into the relationship (between the cities). Dr. Lyon is doing research on the history of the relationship between St. Augustine and Aviles. The purpose is to facilitate also in books and pamphlets what best came about so the people can find out the history in general. We do not want to lose the roots, the memory of the history.
(Eugene Lyon, of Vero Beach, an historian who for many years was director of the St. Augustine Center for Historical Research and has written about the Spanish colonization of Florida and about Menendez).

Betty Gardner trots down St George Street Saturday afternoon during the Menendez Festival.
By RALPH D. PRIDDY, Staff
Q: How do you keep the relationship continuing?
A: You start with the students, the next generation of leaders to come.
Q: Are you working on developing a relationship with St. Augustine for commercial trade?
A: It's more difficult. First, you exchange the knowledge between the two cities and then extend it between the students. Mainly, we also are trying to develop tourism between Aviles and St. Augustine. As for industry, that takes more time to do. The large companies do it themselves. Already we have steel, aluminum, glass, and fertilizer.
Q: How big is Aviles?
A: 85,000 people, third largest city in Asturias region of Spain. Asturias has 1 million people.
Q: How does the government of Aviles regard St. Augustine?
A: The most important thing is your own space, your own identity, your place in history.
I find it amazing that you formed a group to relive the heritage and background of 400 years ago. (Rodriguez was referring to the Los Floridanos, an organization of descendants of Florida's early Spanish families).
The city of Aviles has different political parties living equally and everyone is for the relationship with St. Augustine. The city council has 25 members including the mayor. All support the relationship with St. Augustine. The city of St. Augustine's mayors Greg Baker, Len Weeks and Mark Alexander did much for it and Mayor George Gardner is continuing it.
Q: What is important for people of St. Augustine to know about the heritage and the sister city relationship?
A: As a world, we have become so mechanical with computers. It is encouraging to find people searching with the heart for their heritage. These are the true human feelings, to connect, to understand, to make it function better.
Q: One last question. What have you found to be different in the city from your first visit?
A: The Nights of Lights. (The city's annual 10-week holiday lighting event ended Jan. 31. It was renewed for the Menendez Birthday Celebration by an act of the City Commission).

Hi all,
I'm a newbie here (and new to WP) and I have a fairly general question: does a responsive theme make a site harder to maintain, relative to not trying to accommodate mobile devices at all?
I'm planning a site for a small nonprofit whose staff has little or no knowledge about the web. They need to be able to add and edit content. Mobile support, on the other hand, is not an absolute requirement (though it would be nice, obviously).

A shipload of sights and sounds complement the calm, nautical atmosphere around MacMillan Pier in scenic Provincetown, at land's end on Cape Cod. Running along the roughly quarter-mile pier's wooden planks makes a sound "like a hollow drum," says runner Caitlin Connors. "You can also hear the boats hitting the dock; it's serene and beautiful."
According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, MacMillan Pier in Provincetown, Mass., was constructed in 1956. More than 40 years later, the pier—where tourists and locals can set sail on a number of chartered boat trips—was renovated and expanded. MacMillan Pier is named after Donald B. MacMillan, an arctic explorer and Provincetown native who died there in 1970.
Provincetown is reachable by U.S. Route 6. By auto, it is about 115 miles from Boston.
Ferry service to Provincetown from Boston along the Provincetown III takes about 90 minutes and runs daily from May 21 to October 18 for the 2010 season.
The closest airport is Provincetown Municipal Airport.

It was Thanksgiving weekend in 2010 when I first sat down to recreate the Louis Vuitton Monogram as a wallpaper for the iPad. Over the Thanksgiving break, and one year later, I began to explore ways to use all the knowledge and tools that I've acquired over the past year to make it even better.
Check out the original from one year ago: http://drbl.in/FfU
What a difference! I've been reworking all the wallpapers and will be posting them up on my new website, which I'm hoping to launch early next year.

Well, I'm done with the complaining for awhile. Like RWR says, what's the use? Gotta move forward.

This amazing little device will hold a few SATA drives and do some stuff. But the real fun comes with hacking it with these tools.
So this looks like it will be fun. I'll first plop in a few drives, install the fun plug script and its little tarball of programs. Then I reboot the device and whammo! I get a full fledged linux server that is imminently usable as a NAS device, web server, rsync target. Coolio.
Next up in my list of smaller than average devices that run open systems is the Pogoplug. This little Marvel(l) is able to just about do anything that a bigger computer can do with a cute little foot-print.
So cool and cute! I'll just plug it in and then decide how I want to hack on it. Then I found the openpogo website. Well, count me in. Two new devices, two active communities that will show me how to hack these things into different things. Two cool things running Linux are too cool 🙂
Now I need to wait for the things to arrive. I think I will go screw up my Windows 7 box by installing something on it.

Aortic Aneurysm - Treatment Overview
After you are diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm, your doctor will evaluate:
- Whether you need the aneurysm repaired.
- Whether you will be able to withstand a surgery or procedure.
- Whether you should wait to repair the aneurysm and get regular tests to check its size and growth.
When repair is recommended
Aortic aneurysms that are causing symptoms or enlarging rapidly are considered at risk of rupturing. Repair is usually recommended if either of these factors is present.
In men, repair is also typically recommended for abdominal aortic aneurysms that are 5.5 cm or larger in diameter, causing symptoms, or are rapidly growing. In women, repair may be recommended for smaller aneurysms.
Repair of thoracic aortic aneurysms is usually recommended when they reach 5.5 to 6.0 cm in diameter.
Monitoring and medical treatment for aortic aneurysm
If surgery is not done to repair your aneurysm, you will have regular tests to see if it is getting bigger.
Smaller aneurysms (less than 5.5 cm in diameter) that are not at high risk for rupturing are typically treated with medicine used to treat high blood pressure, such as a beta-blocker. Beta-blockers may decrease the rate at which aneurysms grow. In general, the risks of surgery to repair smaller aneurysms outweigh the possible benefits, because smaller aneurysms rarely rupture.
You may need to take medicine to treat high cholesterol and high blood pressure. These measures have not been proved to slow aneurysm growth, but they can improve your life in other ways. These measures reduce your risk of dying from heart attack and stroke.
For more information, see:
- High Cholesterol.
- High Blood Pressure.
Despite some claims, taking antioxidant vitamins has not been proved to reduce the risk of aneurysm or the risk of rupture.
Lifestyle changes for aortic aneurysm
If you smoke, try to quit. Medicines and counseling can help you quit for good.
Your doctor will probably recommend that you make other lifestyle changes, such as following a heart-healthy diet, limiting alcohol, and exercising. Try to do activities that raise your heart rate. Exercise for at least 30 minutes on most, preferably all, days of the week.

Last page of chapter 11.
love the style of panels.
great finale to the previous page!
I really enjoyed this chapter. Thanks for sharing and I hope that you keep up the great work.
I doubt any of your future days will be boring.
Simple page, but a good one. I like how you split the image across the last two panels.
I also like how Arim smiles in her sleep. It'd be cute on most people, I imagine it's kinda creepy on her.
I also like how Arim smiles in her sleep. It'd be cute on most people, I imagine it's kinda creepy on her.
I was originally going to have two similar panels, but decided that one panel broken in two would be more fitting it kind of fading away and out of the story.
I figure Arim has the same expression she had the second she ran out of power.
And now for their rude awakening!
You know... I can't believe I hadn't noticed Annie was bra-less in the past page until the last panel of this one. lol I need to be more observant or I'll miss out on good stuff like that. Cute how Annie asks about Lucy's cereal xD A fitting end to a long day
I thought Annie would loose the bra to gain some give to fit into the shirt.
You're right, and wasn't looking for a reason to justify her being bra less. I was just surprised I didn't see it in the previous page when it's clearly visible in panel 2&3 where the closeup of her chest and buttons is seen.
heh I have to say I love how you have given that bust realistic weight actually having it slide off to either side. Great work ^^
Incoming irony in 3...2...

Fish Hoek, Cape Town, South Africa. We are fun! easy people.
Unfortunately I didn't meet Alinda and Johann, but when I returned I found a very positive letter and a little gift, and the house in perfect order - so perfect guests. I would definitely recommend them and also hope to make the return visit to Cape Town one day! .
Alinda and her husband were just lovely ! I did not see them but my mum met them. She sent me a picture of the cute little candles they left as a present. Thank you for being so friendly and kind ! we'd love to see you around again.
Alinda was a perfect guest very discret and very polite, I appreciate having her in my apartment, I highly recommend her

I'm trying to put together some documentation on the relation between the common (modern) horse and the okapi. I've found a tree that shows that connection but it has no references. I'm hoping that someone has documented this connection somehow.
Does documentation exist that shows the evolutionary connection between common horses and the okapi?

With only three practice sessions remaining before Sam Houston completes 2014 spring football with the annual Orange-White game, the Bearkats will hold their second full-contact scrimmage tomorrow (Saturday) at 9 a.m. at Elliott T. Bowers Stadium.
The scrimmage comes during the 11th practice of the spring sessions and Sam Houston head coach K. C. Keeler is excited about another opportunity to see the Kats in game
"The team continues to make progress. It's always good to see what happens when we start tackling to the ground," Keeler said.
Keeler, who has named as the 15th head football coach at Sam Houston in January, inherits a squad that includes 52 lettermen including 13 starters from the 2013 Bearkat team that earned Sam Houston its third consecutive FCS playoff berth.
"We're certainly not a finished product, but we're pleased with the players' attitude and work ethic," Keeler said.
The new Bearkat head coach is no stranger to playoff success. His 2003 Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens squad won the FCS national championship and reach the FCS championship game in 2007 and 2010. In his 11 seasons at Delaware, his teams compiled an 85-52 record. He holds an overall mark of 174 victories, 73 losses and one tied as a head coach.
The Bearkats have practices next week and Monday and Wednesday next week before the Orange-White spring game April 11. Several exciting events surround the annual spring scrimmage at Elliott T. Bowers Stadium.
First, a special football alumni barbeque will begin at 5 p.m. in the north end zone parking lot. Former SHSU football players and their families are invited to the tailtate event which will feature Texas-style barbeque. Cost of the BBQ is $10 in advance and $15 the night of the event. For information, former football players can contact Kimberly Spino at firstname.lastname@example.com .
Sam Houston students and fans can participate in "Bearkat Alley" tailgating in the Northeast Lot at Bowers. SHSU Student Services will provide free food for students with valid Bearkat OneCards while supplies last.
Kids are included in the excitement as well with the "Bearkat Football Experience" at 6 p.m. Youngsters ages 5 through 13 can do drills with the Sam Houston football team on the Bowers turf.
The Orange-White game kicks off at 7 p.m.
Four Sam Houston students will have the opportunity to win a grand prize of free textbooks for one semester in the SHSU Student Services field goal kicking contests at the breaks between quarters. These four students will be randomly selected at the Orange-White game to participate.
At halftime, Sam Houston fraternity and sorority members will compete in a uniform / obstacle relay race. The winning teams will receive prizes from Barefoot Athletics and $300 from Student Services.
"It's going to be a terrific night for Bearkat football," Keeler said. "We're inviting all football fans to come join in the fun and get their first peak at what the 2014 Bearkat team will look like."
Sam Houston State begins its 2014 season with the ESPN College Kickoff August 23 versus Eastern Washington in Cheney in a nationally televised football game.
The Bearkats will play five home games at Bowers Stadium in Huntsville and the "Battle of the Piney Woods" classic at Reliant Stadium in Houston.

Mezwed (مزود) is a genre of popular traditional music based on North African Amazigh scale rhythms, believed by Tunisians to be completely different from Egyptian Shaabi music. It incorporates traditional Tunisian drums called Darbouka and a kind of bagpipe called a mizwad with a bag made from ewe's leather. Usually it is sung in Tunisian linguistic varieties. Originally the music of the countryside and the working classes; it is often played at weddings and parties. It has its own particular dances in which people may enter a trance-like state.
The themes of Mezwed are social, typically: immigration, racism, family and love. Nowadays new fusions of Mezwed, with Hip-Hop and Rap are becoming popular. Some of the most popular singers include Fatma Boussaha, Samir Loussif, and Hedi Habbouba.

Excellent value for money. Evening meals available in Restaurant or Bar. 3 local restaurants as an alternative. Inclusive hot buffet breakfast.
Room appointments basic. Small wall-mounted TV but 20+ channels.
The hotel was great value in this area.Ideal for a longer stay boasting 10 pin bowling, pool table, darts and a swimming pool with spa facilities.If I had realised I would have added an extra night for some R&R!
The hotel staff were hard working and provided the best service I have seen as yet in any hotel.
Room price was a bit steep but then most things are expensive in Holland
free internet
old rooms - a bit noisy in the morning
good location very nice countryside
some of the older staff were not overly friendly
Very good hotel based in quiet place. Good restaurant. Free parking and free internet. Good place to saty on the wau to Amsterdam
The staff were genuinely warm, friendly & helpful - sometimes going out of their way to assist. The room & facilities were clean and fully operational. The food was value for money, tasty & down to Earth (not for the pretentious).
It was further from the city center of Enschede than I thought (which is where I needed/wanted to be each day) but if u have a car its no big deal because its a nice drive there.
the staff at reception and in the restaurant are very nice
there was a bad smell in the carpet of my second room, the door of my first room didn't close or lock well
Good beds, very large room.
breakfast could be more varied
Quiet location yet close to city. Well equiped rooms. Good restaurant.
Breakfast needs to be refurbished after 9:00 am for international travelers handling time change!
Very good price, pool, breakfast,
hard to find without navi system
The swimming pool was the best part of our stay. It is open very long hours, have nice heated water and is suitable both for adults and children. The other thing was pizza we ordered from the hotel restaurant. Very convenient to order and very tasty!
No complaints at all.
The location is superb with a very relaxing view from the dining room. Staff was very helpfull. Bed was comfortable.
I was expecting a pricey diner, but quality wasn't quite there. The desk in the room was a bit small. Breakfast quality and selection was below expectation.
Excellent surroundings for jogging; quiteness and comfortable room.
Location is perfect, the public transport hub of Hengelo is less than 5 minutes on foot. Breakfast is superb, definitely worth the price.
Its location being adjacent to Hangelo station with satisfactory avaialable services, I will always like to stay in eden star hotel hengelo for my trip to Hangelo.

Your say
All talk, no action
I liked your cover story 'Animals Under Attack' (Oct 23). It was rather depressing to know that the government is not bothered much about wild animals. I am glad that the authors pointed out how Indians are content to sit back and worship animals and not respect them in real life. The sarcastic comment that the government wants elephants to obey traffic rules when they cannot make humans do the same was brilliant. How about cracking down instead on the rampant constructions in green corridors?

Tackling teen-ache
'Just take it easy' (Oct 23) probes an avoidable outcome of cyber revolution in India. In the digital world, teens are okay with going through several "break-ups" which may sound horrifying to parents. Checking the online activities of children is a hopeless job because they are far more net-smart than their parents. A regular and smart conversation between children and the parents can help avoid such scenes.

Needed: wildlife wards
We have a large number of zoos but we don't have specialised training in wildlife medicine. This is the need of the hour. Maneka Gandhi is right when she says that the cruelties we wreak upon animals return to us as disasters (Oct 23). A special curriculum should be implemented by veterinary colleges across the country to provide excellent education in wildlife medicine, breeding and surgery to support as well as increase the zoo animal property.

"At this time in my life, I'm ready to accept or own a kind of romance and melancholy or melodrama that I wasn't ready to reveal before. It was always there in my inner life as an artist, but I was too afraid to share it."
Richard Tuttle
About the artist
Richard Tuttle was born in Rahway, New Jersey, in 1941, and lives and works in New Mexico and New York. He received a BA from Trinity College, Hartford. Although most of Tuttle's prolific artistic output since the beginning of his career in the 1960s has taken the form of three-dimensional objects, he commonly refers to his work as drawing rather than sculpture, emphasizing the diminutive scale and idea-based nature of his practice. He subverts the conventions of Modernist sculptural practice—defined by grand, heroic gestures; monumental scale; and the "macho" materials of steel, marble, and bronze—and instead creates small, eccentrically playful objects in decidedly humble, even "pathetic" materials such as paper, rope, string, cloth, wire, twigs, cardboard, bubble wrap, nails, Styrofoam, and plywood. Tuttle also manipulates the space in which his objects exist, placing them unnaturally high or oddly low on a wall—forcing viewers to reconsider and renegotiate the white-cube gallery space in relation to their own bodies. Tuttle uses directed light and shadow to further define his objects and their space. Influences on his work include calligraphy (he has a strong interest in the intrinsic power of line), poetry, and language. A lover of books and printed matter, Tuttle has created artist's books, collaborated on the design of exhibition catalogues, and is a consummate printmaker. Richard Tuttle received a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship and the Skowhegan Medal for Sculpture. He has had one-person exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia; Kunsthaus Zug, Switzerland; Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea, Santiago de Compostela; and Museu Fundação Serralves, Porto. San Francisco Museum of Modern Art organized a 2005 Tuttle retrospective.
