Local Police Union President Stephanie Lopez has some insight into the officers involved in the Foothills shooting. Those clever internetz folk in Guy Fawkes masks are very interested in our police department's web presence. The Las Cruces Police Department has declined Mayor Berry's request to investigate the March 16, 2014 APD shooting.

V.20 No.29 | 7/21/2011 newsFather escorted out of Police Oversight Commission meetingResearch firm MGT of America is evaluating the effectiveness of the Police Oversight Commission and the Independent Review Office in addressing citizen complaints. The city hired the firm in May on a $40,000 contract. An MGT analyst observed the Thursday, July 14 commission meeting, during which local attorney Steve Torres was escorted away by two Albuquerque Police Department officers. Torres' 27-year-old son Christopher was killed by APD in April. As the commission discussed the August officer-involved shooting death of Enrique Carrasco, Torres attempted to ask a question. After several verbal attempts by Chairman Bambi Folk to stop Torres from talking out of turn, two uniformed APD officers moved into place and physically escorted Torres out. (To view the full meeting, go to the city's GOV TV site. Scroll down to the section titled Police Oversight Commission.) Earlier in the meeting, Torres accused the commission of not fulfilling its function and rubber-stamping most of APD's behavior. Other public comments also claimed the commission merely justifies the force's actions. "How can you sleep at night?" Mike Gomez asked. He is the father of 22-year old Alan Gomez, who was killed by police in May. In an interview with the Alibi, Internal Review Officer William Deaton said the IRO and the Police Oversight Commission have a broad reach but do not have power to impose penalties—only to make recommendations. Deaton's findings can be ignored or discarded by the Police Oversight Commission or by the city's chief administrative officer. For instance, it was Deaton's opinion that the shooting of Kenneth Ellis III, a 25-year old Iraq War veteran, was not a reasonable use of force and the shooting should not have happened. The Police Oversight Commission disagreed, rejected his opinion and called the shooting justified. Deaton said MGT analysts will be around in the coming weeks, gathering more information and data for their study. V.20 No.24 | 6/16/2011 newsFamilies to protest police killings at 4 p.m.Friends and family members of people who've been shot by the Albuquerque Police Department will demonstrate today on Civic Plaza from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. They will demand that Mayor Richard Berry and Police Chief Ray Schultz take action to stop the killings, according to a news release. At a Monday, June 6 City Council meeting, scores of folks pleaded with councilors to learn from the deaths and change APD's policies. Chief Schultz issued an order in late May that requires officers to carry Tasers. Answer N.M., an activist group, says the order is an insult. "Tasers, like police guns, are violent weapons of lethal force. Chief Schultz has not addressed the underlying issues of APD's practice of excessive force, racism and a reign of terror ... ." 2011 has seen four officer-caused deaths. Another 14 people were shot in 2010, and nine died. V.20 No.20 | 5/19/2011 newsProtest about APD shootingsIn the last 12 months, 14 people have been shot by APD officers. In the latest on May 10, suspect Alan Gomez was wielding a plastic kitchen spoon—not a gun, as officers thought. Officer Sean Wallace shot and killed Gomez, and it was Wallace's third shooting. One other was fatal. Act Now to Stop War and End Racism, an activist group, has called for an emergency protest outside APD headquarters at 400 Roma today from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. "Tell APD to stop terrorizing our communities," Answer N.M. writes in its news release. Trish Hoffman, spokesperson for APD, says the department respects demonstrators' right to protest.

There have been 11 officer-involved shootings this year. People will gather at Fourth Street and Roma at 3:30 p.m. Family members of Kenneth Ellis III , the Iraq War veteran who was killed by police in January, will speak. The friends and relatives of Enrique "Kiki" Carrasco will also attend. At 4:30, the silent march will begin making its way up Central and end at Robinson Park on 8th Street.

V.19 No.39 | 9/30/2010 newsPolice Shooting StatsLast week, in reaction to our Copwatch feature, we got a letter asking us to compare national numbers of officer-involved shootings with local numbers. I'm not sure how useful an analysis like that would be. Every city is different. I did manage to track down the Albuquerque Police Department's record since 2004. Here's what it looks like: 2004: 4 shootings, 2 fatal 2005: 3 shootings, 2 fatal 2006: 5 shootings, 1 fatal 2007: 8 shootings, 4 fatal 2008: 5 shootings, 2 fatal 2009: 6 shootings, 3 fatal 2010: 11 shootings, 7 fatal The news desk also is working on a story examining officer-involved shootings in similarly sized cities, their rates of violent crime and their police training techniques.

my creative space - more birthday presents!
I've been slightly disappointed by my lack of blogging ability lately. But then when I realise how many birthday's have been and gone and how many items I have checked off my, "to make" list, my bloggy silence becomes clearer!
Anyway here are just a few more bits of handmade gifty goodness that have been given or are set to be in the near future. Oh and a massive "thanks" to Nikki for pointing me in the direction of Buy Handmade after my recent worry. I took the pledge! There's no turning back!
So here is a cushion I have made for my niece who will turn three soon. I was very much inspired by a cushion made by Lexi for her son (except hers is INSANELY good!), and it was a perfect opportunity to use a moda jelly roll I bought in a rush of blood. Phew, no need to feel guilty for that little purchase anymore*.
and the back view ...
Still wondering if that closure part might need a few buttons but when I think of button holes I start to sweat. I tried to do a fairly large cross over so that bulging should be limited. Hate the bulge!
Ok. Got time for one more? Excellent.
So recently the two knitters in my life, (mum and the Bestie), felt the need for a knitting bag that would happily house their projects but could also do the job of carting said projects to and from each others houses (they have been doing a bit of "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" type work. Mum introduced the Bestie to the knitting world, now the Bestie shows Mum all the stuff she has gleaned from you tube).
I came up with this number following an excellent free tutorial from The Purl Bee which I found via Gret and her excellent "free stuff I love" posts.
This is Mum's version - she loves green - and wouldn't you know it, I forgot to get a shot of the Bestie's version.** The linen is from Ikea.
It's not as stiff as I would have liked but once stuffed with a few knitting projects it does seem to stand itself up.
So there we have it. A few more projects ticked off the list and hopefully a few more happy birthday girls. Now pop on over to Kirsty's for more creative spaces while I go back to the birthday list to see who's next!
* That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
** Basically the same except for a 1930's repro print in red for the straps.

Man, you have been busy! The cushion is stunning and much better than you could get in the shops and the bag...what a lucky mum and bestie!

That's absolutely the way I work too. Using fabric = guilt dissolved. Both gifts look fabulous. Lovely work!

There is something so wonderful about a handmade gift, especially when they are such lovely things.
ReplyDelete - Nikki CardiganOctober 8, 2009 at 11:43 PM
The cushion is beautiful - the patchwork is fab and that letter print is gorgeous. And how clever are you to make not one but two bags. The print on the linen works very well.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousOctober 9, 2009 at 12:45 PM
lovely gifts. i am so in love with that m.millar dick and jane series, i can't bear to cut it. love the craft bag too
ReplyDelete - pottymouthmamaOctober 16, 2009 at 3:45 PM
I love your cush girl! It's super duper sooooper! And the knitting bag is fab. Looks like an ace size.

It was our first experience of Airbnb and it couldn't have been better. Yvonne made it a most a welcoming stay. All the little creature comforts made us feel even more at home. In fact I've already booked my return stay...
Shuk YiNovember 2015A bright, spacious, well equipped garden studio in a perfect quiet location. Yvonne was an attentive and helpful host, and the studio was an ideal base for a wedding in Hale.
AlexAugust 2015We would highly recommend this apartment in Hale. The location was excellent and the apartment itself was spacious, well maintained and clean. We had a great time there and Yvonne was the perfect host. Would definitely stay again without hesitation.
CalAugust 2015Lovely little place in a great location for either airport or travelling into the city!
MichaelOctober 2016Yvonne is really lovely, made us feel welcome even to the extent of providing a bottle of wine and some milk and tea bags for two wearied travellers with flight delays. Flat is well-kept and in good order. We did have a problem with the electrics tripping but Yvonne was great and pulled out all the stops to get it all up and running again - not such an easy feat over the Christmas period. I guess it's when things like that go wrong that the good landlords/landladies really show their mettle and Yvonne came up trumps! Hale village with a couple of small supermarkets plus some good restaurants and a large Costa Coffee is around 10 mins by foot.
PaulJanuary 2015what a great accomodation !met Yvonne lovely lady and very helpful when left keys behind -this is a garden studio so well equipped down to a umberella for rainy weather -would highly recommend And will revisit hopefully soon .
RuthNovember 2015Great spot. We needed a hidden retreat to escape the world for a few days. This was it. Close to Hale and nice shops. Felt very welcome and very well stocked apartment. Thanks Yvonne
MattOctober 2016Yvonne was very helpful and the whole process was completely straightforward. Great apartment, very convenient and quiet location, in a super part of the world.

I could sum up my experience at Janice place in one word...Awesome! I traveled to Manchester for an exam. Janice and a her wonderful friend (Bruce) made my arrival very easy, they picked me up from the train station in the evening and took me to get something to eat. The room was as described, neat and very Cosy. Neighborhood was safe and quiet, it was home away from home, Janice is a very nice Host, she always made sure I had everything I needed even when she was at work, she even shared her dinner with me once even though she didn't have to,she is also very willing to have a conversation. Janice went out of her way to help me get to my exam location on time,picked me up after the exam and dropped me off at the Metro so I could catch my bus home. I will be visiting Manchester again and definitely will be staying at Janice's place, already recommended her to a friend.
JeffryOctober 2016A kind welcome, Janice is very nice , she gave us some good information. Th room is quiet, warm and confortable. 10 minutes drive to the airport. Thank you and see you again!
FrancescaJanuary 2017Janice was very welcoming, helpful and accomodated for all my needs. We had a very pleasant coffee and chat on arrival, as well as over breakfast. Janice is a very friendly nice person. I would highly recommend and would stay again if needed.
NealeNovember 2016Janice was fantastic and her home warm, comfortable and spotlessly clean. I was worried about arriving later on in the evening, but that was no issue. Was also very nice to have a friendly chat over a cup of tea - it very much helped to start the day on a high. I cannot recommend highly enough Janice and her spare room - I just should have woken 10 minutes earlier to take advantage of the offered breakfast!
MatthewDecember 2016Great place to stay. very close to Hale high street.
JonathanMarch 2017I enjoyed my stay a lot. The house looked nice and was easy to find. Janice is a wonderful and helpful host. I would recommend for anyone and I wish to come back in future.
KornelFebruary 2017Janice was a very welcoming host and everything as described on the website. Highly recommended!
NiallNovember 2016Comfortable and cosy and good location, 5 mins for Hale centre and 20 mins walk to Altrincham. Janice is get personable and welcoming. A great airbnb experience.

Beautiful period house with warm, clean, modern garden flat. The house is located less than a 5 minute walk from the beautiful village of Hale where there are some wonderful boutique shops, restaurants and a train station that goes directly to Manchester city. Very upmarket area where many footballers live and hang out. Annette and her husband Pete were very accommodating, making us feel welcome and couldn't do enough for us. The flat has its own separate entrance so we could come and go as we pleased. A high quality, hotel standard stay and I would highly recommend!
SarahNovember 2016房间类型
We had a great stay. Andrew communicated really well and was very accommodating.
BrendanFebruary 2017Andrew's house was clean ,comfortable and a pleasure to stay in. Walking distance to Altrincham train and bus station, central shopping and market was a bonus. The park across the road was beautiful, relaxing to walk thru in the morning and after a long day equally good to wind down. The info pack and map andrew had made up was helpful, all in all a very pleasant stay.
PhilipJune 2016The stay was excellent and the house and location worked out very well. Andrew was very communicative and responsive and met us at the property and showed us around and set us up nicely.
PAULJanuary 2017Andrews house was perfect for our stay in Hale. It's centrally located for easy access to Altrincham town centre and the fabulous High St in Hale with its cosmopolitan shops, bars and restaurant. The house itself is well equipped and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay with 4 adults and a baby. Andrew was also great at communicating with us leading up to stay and arranged a smooth hand over of keys and information about the house. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a place to stay in Hale / Altrincham.
ChrisAugust 2016Had an wonderful time at Andrew's house. Andrew is a great host (one of the best I have had). He came and collected us from the station which wqs great. The house is in a nice quite loaction with easy access to Manchester on the train. Andrew supplies every you need in the house. Could not recommended any higher. Thank you for having us.
BenjiJune 2016Andrew was a great host. The place was immaculate, the pictures don't do it justice and Andrew ensured we had everything we needed. Andrew was attentive and always responded quickly to any questions we had. The location is great too, opposite a picturesque park and a ten minute walk to the station. Would totally recommend staying with Andrew.
amyJune 2016Andrew was very welcoming and kindly waited while we were desperately stuck in traffic. The house is absolutely adorable and actually even better than on the pictures! The little garden is perfect to enjoy breakfast on a sunny morning and the rest of the house ideal for a week end in a real English village.
ChloéMay 2016Lovely place to stay, great location & a great host.
LisaMarch 2017房间类型
Nice room in a very calm area. Working to the airport it was easy for me to go to work. If you are an aviation fan, there is a small museum where you can discover and visit one of the British Airways concorde just 100m from the house. Communication was really easy with Laura-jayne. She was very flexible for my arrival and departure.
FlorentJanuary 2017The place is very handy to get to and from the airport. Communication with Laura-Jayne was great and we had no troubles getting in the house despite her not being there. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the house really let it down, therefore overall three stars only.
WirginiaMarch 2017Everything as described, wasn´t able to meet Laura in person since I arrived later than expected but communication was easy though
AlexanderJanuary 2017Great location to stop in if travelling to Manchester airport, even though Laura had the flu on arrival, she was really helpful and friendly :-). Thanks for having us xxx
ElizabethFebruary 2017Beautiful house very close to Manchester airport. Perfect if you are flying in or out! The room is basic, with a comfortable double bed. Laura-Jayne is a great host with a fun, happy, chatty personality! :) Thanks for having me! I'd love to stay again next time.
LauraMarch 2017Didn't get to meet Laura-Jayne but communication was very easy. She seems like a lovely person and her home was perfectly adequate for anyone needing some place to stay before catching an early flight, so thank you Laura-Jayne !
CharlotteMarch 2017房间类型
I had a lovely time. Lorraine and Rory were amazing hosts and treated me like family - felt like home away from home. The area is also quite pretty. The room is nice and large and as it appears in the pictures. Lots of space for luggage and all. And very clean.
AzraAugust 2016This was a really lovely experience to stay with Rory and Lorriane . They were so welcoming and hospitable. We had a really gourmet continental breakfast and would love to have booked again on our way back from Scotland but alas this wasn't possible . We can only highly recommend this lovely place where it was a true delight to be .
GeoffJune 2015This was return trip and my experience this time was every bit as good as the first visit - I hope I can fit in another stay with Jayne's family in the near future. Words such as comfortable, clean, homely, welcoming are all insufficient to describe the hospitality
DavidApril 2016The fact that this was my third one week stay in less than 3 months says how welcoming and lovely this BnB is. Great breakfasts and lovely hosts who were keen to chat but also left me to it when I had to work on into the night. I am nothing but praise for Lorraine & Rory
DavidMay 2016Lorraine and Rory are fabulous hosts! They were both very warm and welcoming me into their home for 4 nights, whilst I worked on a sports event in Tatton Estate nearby. Breakfasts in the morning were great and plentiful. It's a gorgeous house, lovely bedroom and ensuite and I felt very at home. Both hosts looked after me like a daughter when I wasn't too well either. A great place to stay. I will definitely be back!
DianneOctober 2015This was my fourth and best stay at the beautiful house with Lorraine as ever being the hostess who always wanted to do more for me. It is a shame my business will no longer give me a reason to stay her
DavidJune 2016Jayne was not at the property but her lovely parents made me feel so welcome it really felt like a home from home. It was such a great experience that I have already booked a return trip
DavidApril 2016The hosts Lorraine and Rory are very warm and helpful, and really made me feel welcome!. The breakfast is very good and comprehensive, great start to the day. The room is en suite, and very quiet. The house is located in a quieter part of Hale so very relaxing but also only about 10 mins walk to the city centre and train station. I would definitely recommend staying here!
ThomasFebruary 2016房间类型
Ruth and her family warmly welcomed us, along with the pets, even though our late arrival meant some staying up for them. A tour of the house, a course on the layout and features of the rooms and some serious discussion on the progress of the Rugby World Cup followed. The home was very warm and comfortable. It was a pity we didn't have more time at Hale.
RossOctober 2015房间类型
Bev made us feel incredibly welcome and offered loads of advice for the area. This flat was perfect for our needs, we stayed for 2 nights (Friday & Saturday) while preparing for a wedding in Altrincham. The flat is totally private and has a parking space too which is really useful, it is incredibly well kept and had literally everything you could possibly need for a stay. There was also a little welcome pack in the fridge too (OJ, Milk, Cumpets, Jams, etc) and a bottle of wine. I would fully recommend this place so anyone needing accommodation in the area close to Manchester, I will certainly use this again when needing an overnight stay in the area. Brilliant.
RobMay 2015Great stay in this perfect little flat whilst watching Manchester United for the weekend. It's perfect walking distance to the extensive Met system making it easy to commute into central Manchester. The flat is a perfect size, has a large lounge and dining area, ample kitchen, large bedroom and shower/toilet room. Tastefully decorated throughout. The hosts? Bev was amazing, she was in constant communication with myself before and throughout my stay. Bev really does think of everything. Definitely our new go to when visiting Manchester. Thanks again Bev,
NickyDecember 2015Bev and Frank were wonderful hosts. When arrived at their place, Bev was anticipating our arrival and took some time visiting with us, as she showed us around the apartment and offered several recommendations for us during our stay. To be honest, everything was very professional. There were local guides, restaurant menus, tourist brochures, and other leaflets which were available for us to peruse, as well as some things to munch in the fridge, when we arrived. The apartment has a good feel to it: very relaxed and cosy, and very neat and clean. My wife and I have used Airbnb before while traveling, and this was, by far, the best apartment we have stayed in. There were heaters in the apartment, cable television (which listed more channels than our hotel in London), the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals for the week, and the bedroom was relaxing. In short, we highly recommend a stay at this place. It was very accomodating and our hosts were very hospitable and trustworthy.
JeffSeptember 2012This stay was a great end to our European holiday. Chosen due to closeness to the airport but next time we would stay longer. Everything was perfect, it was so much better than a hotel. Frank and Bev certainly have a well stocked kitchen and leave little extras for their guests. Easy parking right outside, very close to walk to the local shops, we even found the local pool for swimming laps. It was next to the train station and local ice-rink. Would definitely recommend a stay here.
Janet July 2014I cannot fault Frank and Bev's flat in the slightest. It was spotless, cosy and very comfortable. My partner and I were delighted to find on our arrival that the cupboards were fully stocked with the essentials - fresh coffee, tea, milk, orange juice! The location was ideal for us to get the tram into Manchester City Centre and also for a drive into the countryside. I didn't meet either Frank or Bev but my partner ensures me they were extremely helpful and very pleasant. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
JaninaNovember 2012Bev made us feel so welcome, the flat was immaculate and she had thought of (URL HIDDEN) is always the little things that make a stay so memorable. I can definitely recommend a stay at their flat.
Louise July 2015Bev and Frank were the ultimate hosts... incredibly welcoming and the flat is a perfect home from home. We arrived to a well equipt kitchen, stocked with a selection of groceries for us and Bev kindly helped us in with our bags. There was even a note to remind us the clocks were changing and some fresh flowers, just perfect! We stayed for a long weekend for my brothers wedding, but this place would be great if you wanted to explore Manchester and the surrounding area as the tram is very close and only a short ride into town. Altrincham itself is also worth a look around, especially the local market. As you can guess... Bev and Franks place comes highly recommended by us!
ClaireOctober 2015Frank and Bev have done an amazing job converting their cellar into a self-contained flat and my fiance and I really enjoyed our week there while visiting family in Manchester. They were really flexible with our arrival/departure times and there was a welcome pack with croissants, milk and other goodies waiting for us when we arrived which was much appreciated. The flat itself had everything we needed and is a short walk from Altrincham and the main bus / tram stations making it really easy to get into the city centre. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again in the future :-)

Great house. Very welcoming and Lucy's communication was excellent
Karen January 2017Lucy's place was fantastic. I arrived late after traveling all day but it wasn't a problem. The house was warm and comfortable as soon as you walked in the door. The house is modern and clean, well furnished and there is plenty of room! I was only there for a few hours/night but I wouldn't hesitate to stop again. Lucy always responds to communication and was a fantastic host. Thank-you!
DaveNovember 2016Wow what can we say about this stunning and well equipped town house. A quick taxi ride from Manchester City centre or a nice relaxing stroll along the canals. The house was absolutely perfect for us; a group of old friends meeting up for a pre Christmas weekend reunion. Such a comfy home from home... Lucy is the perfect host. We will most definitely book again.
ClaireDecember 2016Great house. Comfy beds quiet area. Everything we needed.
HannahNovember 2016Lovely house and a real home from home. Recently renovated and stylish with everything you could possibly want. Loved it. Altrincham centre is short walk and metrolink station very close. Perfect for our needs. Thanks to Lucy for coming out when we had a problem with the key safe. Much appreciated
PaulDecember 2016The house is very clean and have all necessary equipment as in the photo. Recommended for family especially with own transport. The check in and check out is very easy. Ms Lucy always on the line if we need any assistance.
Mohd NizamFebruary 2017We check in without any problems, The instruction was clear and simple to follow. We were on the way from London to Edinburgh so we just stop by for the night for my son to see the Manchester City Stadium the next day. We arrive late and check out early the next morning and almost an all rush rush job. The house is spacious and very well kept. everything looks very modern and new. We would love to stay longer in there in the near future as this is certainly a very comfortable house.
KCJanuary 2017A wonderful chic home. Very comfortable, great for children and very clean. I would definitely recommend and stay again. Thanks Lucy
HelenDecember 2016房间类型
Really nice well equipped apartment, enjoyed a couple of evenings out on the balcony which was very pleasant.
DarrenAugust 2016An impressive building in a convenient location. We were made to feel very welcome by Nicholas during a 3 week long stay necessitated by building work at home. We particularly enjoyed having the balcony and the green space it overlooks.
JohnSeptember 2016Everything was as expected - very nice.
OleSeptember 2016A lovely apartment in a nice and classic english neighbourhood. Close to shops and restaurants. If you walk for about 10-20 mins, you will reach the Altrincham town and Stamford Quarter. Its a great place to shop! This apartment is very modern and clean. However, bring light luggage because as you enter the apartment, there is a long staircase down to the rooms and living room. Not suitable for elderly but best suited for young couples and family. I will definitely come here again!
NurOctober 2016The apartment was great everything we needed in a great location for old trafford
GeorgeMay 2016Thanks for having us Nick! The flat was perfect! Everything we needed in a great location. Loved the little extra of some fresh flowers. If I am back up this way I book here again. Nick was very helpful and accommodating. Worth noting that the nearest station is Navigation Road, which is slightly nearer than Altrincham.

Excellent host, excellent welcome, excellent apartment, excellent communication, and Mark's attention to detail was very much appreciated, even providing us with provisions in the fridge and bread and pastries, yum, thank you!. Extremely comfortable apartment and we would not have any hesitation in using this apartment again, thank you very much, Linda & Alan
LindaDecember 2016If you are looking for a stylish and comfortable place to stay close to Altrincham town and a short trip into Manchester City centre then look no further. This beautiful appartment has everything (and more) to make your stay memorable. No expense has been spared in creating this luxurious appartement. We would recommend this place to anyone.
JosephDecember 2016Well equipped modern apartment. We were met at the apartment by Mark who helped us sort out car parking and luggage. Danish pastries, fresh milk and a plate of meat and cheese were lovely. The beds were very comfortable. Mark messaged us a couple of times to check that we had everything we needed. Thank you very much.
JFebruary 2017We stayed with family for 5 days in the apartment and had truly felt it was our home away from home. We have been made to feel comfortable by the little touches Mark(Steve) added and have really enjoyed our stay. The flat was very clean, the beds super comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay, even things we didn't know we might need, but ended up using.
RekaJanuary 2017The host canceled this reservation 8 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
NicholasOur host was perfect! He was able to meet us on Christmas Eve and showed us around the place and answered all questions we had. Lovely little details, the milk and coffee was hugely appreciated. It's a great place to stay both in Altrincham and as a quieter base for anyone wishing to explore Manchester. Really well located for the tram. The flat itself is lovely; quiet, cosy stylish, and spotlessly clean. Would definitely recommend. Many thanks! Elaine and Nick
ElaineDecember 2016I rented this apartment for over 2 weeks. It was spotless, there were fresh rolls waiting upon our arrival, there's an awesome balcony with a great view, and Mark makes sure you have everything you need. He checked in on us and brought fresh linens. The apartment is well stocked with dishes, cooking pans, cleaning supplies, and he even had shampoo. The complex is secure and I felt safe at all times. There were also nearby restaurants, and supermarkets. I highly recommend this place as Mark is an amazing host. Even brought me a Nespresso machine to use.

We had a wonderful stay with Ruth and Neil who were excellent hosts, offering us tea and biscuits when we arrived and sending us off with a breakfast suited to our way of eating. Our room was clean and neat and we had access to a comfortable sitting room. The neighborhood is remarkable and we wandered about looking at the mansions. Restaurants were near and Ruth suggested some good ones for us. Ruth and Neil also gave us a ride to the airport when we left. I would highly recommend this Airbnb.
SandraJune 2016Great location and lovely accommodation. Ruth and Neil were great hosts. It was just like home from home. Will definitely use again.
DavidJuly 2016This charming man, and woman made me feel like I was arriving home from a day at the office. It was a brief but great experience and I would very much recommend anyone to stay hear.
PatrickJune 2016Great hosts, Ruth & Neil welcome you into their lovely home. Close to the town, but tucked away in a quite side road. I stayed for four nights and would do so again. Thank you.
NigelJuly 2016Had a loveley time with a wonderful host.
BrendanSeptember 2016A great experience! Ruth and Neil couldn't have been more accommodating, in all aspects of my stay. My room was warm, clean, airy and comfortable. Great location too within easy walking distance into town for a gym and restaurants. Thanks!
SophieJanuary 2017Very comfortable stay in an ideal setting.Very handy for tram access. good choice of places to eat nearby. Ruth and Neil were very hospitable. Accommodation was very private and well appointed. Ideal breakfasts.

Steven and Bea's place is in a lovely village, quiet location with a short walk to the pubs and shops. Good connections to airport and city. Clean, fresh room.
Ann-ChristinNovember 2016This was fine other than dealing with the lady who was uncomfortable speaking to the guests and the husband came only later.
SushilOctober 2016Nice room,nice family very close to Hale. Thanks
RobertoDecember 2016Steven and his lovely family were great hosts! The room is spacious, quiet and close to the Hale train station.
NiclasSeptember 2016Very friendly and helpful hosts. It was a joy to stay with Steven and his family, albeit for only one night Good communication throughout and a nice house, in a quiet location. Bed was OK but a bit small for two tall people.
StephenOctober 2016Steven and family were wonderful hosts. They make you feel comfortable. The house is near to the Altrincham tram station. I would love to stay with them whenever I go back to Manchester.

Barrio muy tranquilo, cerca del centro comercial. A 20 min caminado de la estación de tren. Departamento muy cálido y lindo. Recomendable
GonzaloJune 2016Great place, very secure with easy access to local amenities and the city
Aidan October 2016I loved this place! My two friends and I stayed here and it was great. We could walk to the street with all the shops/cafes and if we had to get an Uber anywhere it was no more than 10 pounds. We loved the huge open windows and the balcony. Raj communicated well with us throughout the holiday. Every thing in the flat worked perfectly like it was brand new, the beds were comfy, the bathroom was clean (as was the rest of the place) and it is just an all around great choice for accommodation in Manchester. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because I wish there had been a few more towels, and if not towels then a tablet for the washing machine. There's no light in the kitchen so you can't really see if you're trying to do something at night. Although the wifi was fast, it would disconnect randomly and when you have no service, you rely on wifi for a lot of things. Other than those 3 things, everything was perfect! Would definitely stay here again.
SarahFebruary 2017Very nice apartment, modern, bright and true to the pictures (if anything its slightly larger than we expected) Raj was very nice, friendly and easy to contact. He obviously cares about his guests as the day we checked in his cleaners had let him down so him and his wife were at the apartment cleaning it themselves when we arrived, and both made us feel very welcome. There was an issue with the hob (there's a fault and it needs resetting each time you use it by holding down the buttons) Raj was helpful in resolving this over the phone however it wasn't ideal having to call him. I think it needs looking at. Overall its a nice apartment and we had a great stay.
VickyJanuary 2017Raj is a lovely guy. Very friendly and easy to talk to. He couldn't do enough for me to ensure I was happy and that everything was in order, which it was. Unfortunately I can't comment too much on the neighbourhood (things to do) as I was there on business. The flat however, was quiet, clean and exactly as described. Thank you Raj
ChristianDecember 2016Buen anfitrión.

We have stayed here twice now , nothing has changed, it is still perfect, lively room , lovely family and adorable dog , great nights sleep, so peaceful.
trevorNovember 2016A regular visitor I am to this property. A very good experience as always.
VIKASJanuary 2017Helen was very welcoming and helpful. She told me all the relevant information for the room then left me to settle in. Would definitely stay again
EmmaNovember 2016Rick and his wife were really helpful and made sure we are comfortable. I really liked the place.
ShanthanuJune 2016I received a very friendly welcome and introduction to the house. The room and ensuite was spacious, clean and I felt instantly comfortably relaxed. A great stay which I would happily repeat if opportunities allow
DavidMay 2016Our trip was in total 19 nights, utilizing 10 Airbnb hosts. I can honestly say that Rick's home is in the top 3. Their home was clean and homey, and Rick and Helen are lovely people. I would stay at Rick's again.
SusanJune 2016Rick and Helen were wonder hosts, it was truly home away from home, they made sure I was as comfortable as I could get, respectful to my privacy yet extremely approachable. very clean and neat ensuite , short walk to the tram stop which takes you about everywhere you need to go.
MomoMay 2016Superb stay in Timperley (Altrincham) Helen made me very welcome. Excellent accommodation. Good space. Ensuite shower room. Comfortable bed. Table chairs in the room, coffee tea making facilities and some very nice shortbread! Stayed four nights. Super clean, top floor converted attic room. Highly recommend. Couldn't fault.

A lovely warm welcome from Barry and Rosemary, even to the extent of picking me up at the station as I arrived late in the evening. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, very comfortable and very well equipped. The house and its location were really convenient for the station, to town and to my course venue. The road was pleasant and quiet and Hale is a delightful area. this was my first Airbnb experience and it was delightful. All in all, I hope I have to go back to Hale to repeat the experience, and I'll certainly use Airbnb again on the basis on this quality of accommodation and hosting. Thanks!
ElizabethSeptember 2015Very welcoming host and room had everything needed Even offered a breakfast but didn't have time unfortunately! Glad there was a reserved parking space as very limited availability otherwise!
brenSeptember 2016Wonderful example of airbnb providing an all-round better experience than a hotel! Really nice personal touches like selection of teas and fresh milk in the room, and cereal bars in case leaving early! Breakfast was an unexpected bonus too. Great location walkable into Altrincham and short drive to the airport. Will definitely come again!
PhilJanuary 2017This was a first AirBnb experience and it couldn't have been a more perfect introduction to this new world of hospitality. Our room was beautiful, clean, with every single amenity we could ever need and more. The bed was soooo incredibly comfortable.This was better than any B&B we've stayed in. The welcome from Barry and Rosie was so welcoming, we immediately felt ease. We were in Hale to celebrate a friend's 30th Birthday and Barry very kindly gave us a lift into town. The breakfast served in the morning was simple and delicious and set us on our way back home. On reflection we wish we'd spent more time getting to know Barry and Rosie than going out, we couldn't wait to get back to our room! Thank you very much again for a wonderful introduction to airbnb, the next place we stay certainly has a lot to live up to!
IvyFebruary 2016This was one of my best airbnb experiences. Barry and Rosie are kind and generous hosts. The room was clean and comfortable, with everything I could have wanted for my stay. I would definitely recommend this room.
PoppyFebruary 2017Barry greeted me by name which was a relief as it confirmed we were at the right address, coming from Alberta without GPS the location was a little hard to find, but the description was accurate
fionaOctober 2015Very nice couple with a homely home. Short stay but extremely pleasant, Barry and Rosemary were such good hosts and made my stay very comfortable. Barry took the trouble to collect me from the train station and ordering a taxi for me early in the morning
GemmaOctober 2015Barry and his wife are two of the nicest people I have ever met. I actually didn't want to go back home! They went out of their way to make me feel welcome. They were so kind. They had picked me up from the station, and were so understanding when my train got in late - and even dropped me off to my party. It is true what they say about northern hospitality. The room and bathroom were so clean and tidy and lovely. I would want to stay there again.

Flares do what they are supposed to do and this is get attention. Some are flame-like, others emit smoke. They are relatively cheap and easy to obtain in car emergency kits at your local big-box store. In case of emergency though, you may not have a flare handy to get the attention you need. In that case, some items you have available in your house may do the trick. There are a few different ways to make a flare, especially a red flare.
- Skill level:
- Moderately Challenging
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Ping pong balls
- Aluminium foil
- Aluminium cooking bag
- Screw or small nail
- Scissors
- Lighter
- Organic red dye
- Para-nitroaniline red
- Sugar
Show More
- 1
Take one ping pong ball and wrap it in one layer of aluminium foil with a tail. It should resemble an eyeball removed from its' socket or a tadpole if you will.
- 2
Tighten the foil on the tail of this 'eyeball' so that the flames do not shoot out the back of the flare.
- 3
Puncture a small hole with a screw or small nail through the foil and ball in what would be the 'pupil' of the 'eyeball'. Scratch a small area around the hole to expose the surface of the ball.
- 4
Place one tablespoon of paranitroaniline red mixed with a tablespoon of sugar into the ball. You can find the para-red, as it is called, in chemical supply stores.
- 5
Light the exposed surface of the ping pong ball until you see the flame begin. Set the flare down and watch the reaction as the petroleum based ping pong ball is ignited. The flame and smoke will last for about 40 seconds but will emit a bright red flame and some smoke as well.
Small Scale Flare
- 1
Crush about 180 ping pong balls and cut each into small pieces.
- 2
Mix a cup and a half of paranitroaniline red and a cup and a half of sugar into the pieces and let them sit for a while.
- 3
Pour mixture of pieces and chemicals into a foil cooking bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible and fold over the opening tightly about five times.
- 4
Poke one small finger sized hole in the top centre of the bag. Poke four small finger sized holes in the four corners of the cooking bag. This will allow the smoke to escape and prevent the whole contents from catching fire.
- 5
This flare can last for several minutes pouring red flames and smoke from the holes in the bag. It will be clearly visible for several miles and will burn extremely hot with toxic fumes.

American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas
Viewed from the air, this sports area that serves as the home of the Dallas Stars hockey team and Dallas Mavericks basketball team looks like the mighty coliseum that it is. Head-on the facility suggests an elaborate airline hangar worthy of a royal fleet. Close up the ornamentation of the arches, balconies, soffits, and pilasters elicits nostalgia for a bygone era.
Entries on all 4 sides of the area feature expansive brick "signature" arches that are 5 stories high by 115 feet wide. The exterior uses 158,000 square feet of masonry.

Scientists guess in the end what is possible countermotion, in other words, during the time in the opposite direction of the conventional wisdom.If the parrot was kontramotom, then he can be alive today, and yesterday, after his death, he was placed in a cup.The day before yesterday it was burned Janus, when he found it.And the day before that was left of it in the oven burned feather found Roman.
Roman tries to explain what happened to the Tunguska meteorite concept countermotion.This was in fact the spacecraft.Finding in it the aliens were kontramotami.They lived from the future into the past by the standards of ordinary people.
two incarnations Janus Poluektovich
Scientists have unraveled the mystery and Janus Poluektovich.He studied science in the face of Janus-A as long as he discovered the idea countermotion.Then he realized how to implement it in practice.And in a year, which is still far in the future for employees NIICHAVO living now, he turned himself, and Photon, a parrot in kontramotov.After that, he went to live on the timeline back.And now, at midnight director goes into today from tomorrow.He lives in the form of A-Janus, like ordinary people, that is, from the past to the future, but in the form of a U-Janus - on the contrary, from the future into the past.Both embodiments thus remain one man.They are combined in space and time.
Meeting with U-Janus
Privalov during lunch-meet at Janus.He asks, courage, can go to him tomorrow morning.He says that Privalov in the morning cause Kitezhgrad therefore go will not work.Then he adds that the future single for all does not exist.There are many, and some of them creates every human act.

France shows the way Tax Wallstreet!
Obama, Sarkozy and Taxing Wall Street
by Jeff Cohen
With U.S. media obsessing on the fight here at home among conservatives vying to become president, most of them missed some big news about France, which already has a conservative president. This week, French President Nicolas Sarkozy announced that he would take the lead – even go it alone within Europe, if need be – in introducing and pushing a Financial Transaction Tax in his country.
That's right – the conservative president of France wants to tax the financial traders and speculators.
Referring to the tax as a "moral issue" and blaming deregulation and speculation for the global economic meltdown, Sarkozy has said that traders must "repay for the damage they have caused."
What does it tell us about U.S. politics that the conservative president of France – on this issue and others – is way to the left of President Obama? The U.S. president has not publicly promoted a Wall Street transaction tax (even though US financial institutions, not the French, were largely responsible for the global financial crisis).
Sometimes called a "Robin Hood tax," a Financial Transaction Tax is endorsed worldwide by everyone from conservative European leaders to the Pope and Archbishop of Canterbury to Bill Gates and Ralph Nader. The tax is a tiny per transaction fee and would barely be felt by middle-class investors or their pensions or 401(k)'s, but it could raise big bucks from high-volume investors and impose a brake on the kind of speculation that tanked the world's economy.
French President Sarkozy keeps explaining to the people of France and Europe that a small transaction tax raises billions for countries facing deficits.
Wouldn't it be something if President Obama went to the American people with such a deficit proposal, instead of putting Medicare on the chopping block?
President Sarkozy invokes the "moral issue" of financial institutions repairing the damage they caused. What a shock it would be to see President Obama aiming the "moral issue" at Wall Street profiteers and demanding repair of damage, instead of rewarding them with top White House jobs.
After failing to get resistant allies among European countries to join him, Sarkozy is going forward on his own – declaring yesterday: "If France waits for others to tax finance, then finance will never be taxed."
Can you imagine Obama standing up to a resistant Congress on a Wall Street transaction tax? He can't even stand up to his own advisers on the issue, according to Ron Suskind's insider book on the Obama White House, "Confidence Men." Suskind reports that Obama briefly embraced the tax and declared at one meeting: "We are going to do this!" But after Obama's top economic adviser (and Wall Streeter) Larry Summers criticized the tax, the idea was buried at the White House.
That was back in 2009. But the idea is still alive on Capitol Hill. A couple months ago, Sen. Tom Harkin and Rep. Peter DeFazio introduced a Financial Transaction Tax bill in Congress that would easily raise $350 billion over 10 years. Rep. John Conyers introduced a similar bill last year – it would tax Wall Street to fund federal jobs programs.
A Wall Street transaction tax is backed by National Nurses United and other unions. It's popular with the U.S. public, and would be even more popular if Obama were to campaign for it in 2012. RootsAction.org has gained 50,000 signatures in support of the tax.
You can add your name here to those pushing Obama to (re)embrace the Wall Street tax.
And don't get me wrong about President Sarkozy of France. He's no great humanitarian. But he is facing an uphill reelection battle this year and the conservative president understands how popular a financial tax is with voters.
Facing reelection this year, maybe it's time President Obama came to that same understanding.

This one was very hard for me. Guess I'm not just not an orange gal. In fact by the time I was done, my orange paper looks decidedly brown. Well, I tried!
Beautiful photos -- and at least your poppies are orange!
I think it's gorgeous! And the orange is just fine. Beautiful photos of the flowers, love the swirl.
There's still orange there! The photos of the cottage style garden are lovely and look wonderful on your background.
Very pretty. You did a great job of making orange work for a non-orange girl. Great background - love the squiggles.
Very very pretty - I love the squiggles, and the beautiful garden.
What great texture on your background! I have trouble with orange, too. What beautiful flowers! Thanks for joining the challenge!
What a beautiful garden! I laughed at your comments -- yep, the "orange" looks a little brown, lol, but it looks just right for your layout. I see you managed to sneak in a little black, too. The photos are beautiful and I love the squiggles you added to the page.
Yes the background looks a bit brown, but it works with your photos. I love all the squiggles on you used. Wonderful photos too.
Pretty photos. I love the lifted photos and the paper. Lovely layout.
Well, it's an orangy shade of brown and it works so well with your photo. Actually, it makes the orange flower really pop. I like the squiggles, too. It's a neat layout.

Keeping art of whistling alive
Updated 12:36 pm, Friday, July 13, 2012
A few years ago, when my husband, Leslie, and I were visiting friends in San Diego, I decided to call a former neighbor, who was then living in Oceanside. Josephine, several years older than I, grew up next door to me in Thunderbolt, Ga., right outside Savannah. In the 40s, she married a Marine and moved to Oceanside.
Though we always exchanged Christmas cards, I had not seen her for about 45 years.
During our long afternoon visit, I was pleasantly surprised to hear Josephine whistling as she went back and forth to the kitchen. I had not heard much whistling for many years — and it brought back memories. I, too, am a whistler.
In the town where we both grew up, people whistled. A friend and I even perfected a few tunes in harmony, practicing for hours on the alto and soprano parts. In school, the music teacher would tell us to whistle the next verse, and then the girls did a verse and the boys a verse. We tried to out-whistle each other! I don't remember any girls being unable to whistle, yet I read recently that only about 16 percent of females nowadays can whistle.
This surprises me since all of us children, girls as well as boys, could whistle as I grew up in the '30s and '40s. We whistled for our dog, we whistled as we played. My brother Jack and I whistled in the back seat of the car on long trips, seeing who could whistle the loudest and hold our whistle the longest.
Ann Gerhart of The Washington Post (May 16, 2001) wrote words to this effect: Remember the whistling in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and on "The Andy Griffith Show"? And who will ever forget the prisoners whistling in the movie "The Bridge on the River Kwai"? Jiminy Cricket whistled. And Santa Claus whistled for his reindeer. Gene Kelly and Albert Einstein whistled. Note that these are all men, so it seems true that women have not been whistling a happy tune for a while.
I continued to whistle into adulthood. I would find myself whistling around the house, in the car, as I shopped, and even in my classroom, sending my junior high students into giggles.
Many years ago, I went through a divorce. Some months afterward, I found myself whistling and realized that it had been a long time since I had whistled. I don't know where my whistle had been, but it was like an old friend returning. A happy friend, because whistling is a happy habit.
Is whistling a lost art? Is it obsolete? I can recall how surprised, yet happy, I was to hear Josephine whistle. I asked her about it, and she told me she had always whistled, just as I had, from childhood on.
She was about 80 then, and I know that I, too, will be whistling into my 80s and even into my 90s. And why not? It's a fun, happy, harmless activity. I hope that the art of whistling will soon return from wherever it's been hiding.

New York Jets wide receiver Eric Decker, who was hoping to play Saturday night despite limited practice time due to a quadriceps injury, was a late scratch against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Decker, who signed a five-year, $36.25 million contract in free agency, has been limited in camp with a variety of relatively minor injuries. He played only 11 snaps in the Jets' preseason opener and practiced only once last week because of the quadriceps injury.

Kohli destroys Pakistan in Asia Cup run-fest
Virat Kohli smashed a blistering 183 off 148 balls as India produced its highest ever run chase to beat Pakistan by six-wickets.
The victory keeps alive its hopes of reaching the Asia Cup final.
Chasing a daunting 330 victory target, India pulled off a thrilling win with 13 balls to spare thanks to Kohli, who notched up his third one-day century in four matches.
Rohit Sharma (68) and Sachin Tendulkar (52) also chipped in as India surpassed its previous highest successful run chase of 8 for 326 against England in 2002.
Kolhi belted 22 boundaries and one six while Tendulkar and Sharma also clobbered the Pakistani bowlers, with each hitting five fours and a six.
Pakistan qualified for Thursday's final despite losing to India as it had earlier registered wins against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, earning a bonus point in the process.
India must now hope Sri Lanka, which has already been eliminated, beats Bangladesh in the final round robin match on Tuesday if it is to go through to the final.
India's Asia Cup campaign suffered a setback following its shock five-wicket defeat by Bangladesh on Friday, meaning that the hosts will go through to the final if it beats Sri Lanka as head-to-head results are taken into account before net run rate.
India's dazzling batting display on Sunday completely overshadowed the 224-run opening partnership by Pakistan's Nasir Jamshed (112) and Mohammad Hafeez (105).
The duo looked to have put the match out of India's reach as they could not be separated until the 36th over. Jamshed was the first to fall after he tried to hoist a Ravi Ashwin delivery over the boundary but instead found Irfan Pathan, who was fortunate not to drop the catch.
Hafeez was trapped lbw by pace bowler Ashok Dinda just three balls later but not before the duo had laid the foundations for Pakistan to post 6 for 329 from its 50 overs.
Gambhir duck
When opener Gautam Gambhir perished for a duck in the second ball of the Indian innings, it seemed as if Pakistan would be soon celebrating a quick victory.
Kohli had other ideas.
The 23-year-old shared a 133-run second-wicket partnership with Tendulkar and both players produced a flurry of boundaries to ensure India was on top of the required run rate.
"We lost a wicket on the second ball and my plan was to go in there and get a big partnership for the second wicket," Kohli told reporters.
"Chasing 330, if you have wickets in hand, say you are 140 for one, there's something to think about. That was our plan to put pressure on them. I think we executed it perfectly."
Tendulkar, who completed an unprecedented 100 international centuries against Bangladesh on Friday, was foxed by a doosra off Sajeed Ajmal and was caught by Younus Khan at slip.
Kohli, dropped by wicketkeeper Umar Akmal on two, punished the Pakistan bowlers for the let off and added a further 172 runs with Sharma to put India firmly in control.
Kohli was finally dismissed in the 48th over after edging a Umar Gul delivery to Hafeez but by then India was 12 runs short of its target and easily knocked off the remaining runs.
Pakistan captain Misbah-ul Haq praised India's performance.
"Whatever the wicket or conditions, chasing 329 is difficult. The manner in which they batted, (they) outclassed us. Credit to them," he said.
