I wish I could have stayed longer. Ashley's place had thoughtful amenities and was so cozy. I was in town for a quick visit with my nana and she accommodated a 11pm check in. Thank you so much and I look forward to staying again!
Natalie2017-01-03T00:00:00ZAshley was very accommodating. We arrived late at night from a long road trip to PA and Ashley even got out of bed to greet us! The bedroom and bath room were very nice and clean. Comfy bed too!
Hailey2017-01-27T00:00:00ZBrian and Ashley's home was exactly like pictured -- it was clean, cozy, and comfortable. On top of that, they had provided amenities in the bathroom, and coffee and snacks in the common area. Brian and Ashley are also a very sweet couple. I would definitely recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking to stay in the area!
Aviva2017-02-19T00:00:00ZIt was fantastic experiences staying in Ashley and Brian's beautiful house. It is a very clean, cozy and conmforable upstair bedroom. I really enjoyed the stay, chatting with the young couple, and especially the morning coffee. Would love to stay again.
Vincent2017-01-11T00:00:00ZAshley's home is so lovely! One of the best Air Bnb's we've stayed in. Everything was SUPER clean and the fluffy bed and blankets were an absolute dream. Ashley was such a gracious host and really made us feel at home in her house.
Salina2016-12-12T00:00:00ZEverything that you could hope for.
Scotty2017-01-14T00:00:00ZIdeal place to stay! I was looking to break up my trip through the great state of Pennsylvania on my way to Washington DC. Although I was there for but a short time, I can say that Ashley and Brian were consummate hosts, exuding thoughtfulness and kindness in the sharing of their beautiful home.
michael2017-01-24T00:00:00ZBeautiful home, hosts, and neighborhood. Hopefully will stay again sometime soon. Followed their suggestion and visited the Bethlehem Stacks good times.

Sergia was great. Location can be a little loud at times but Im used to that. Otherwise very pleasant stay.
John2017-02-13T00:00:00ZSerbia was a great host.
Ben2017-03-06T00:00:00ZThis apartment is in a great location in Allentown, close to good restaurants. It is clean, I love the linens and the blanket, it's really comfortable! The rooms are spacious and bathroom is clean, kitchen and dining area has good sunshine. The host was responsive and helpful, we had a nice time!
Lu2017-01-02T00:00:00ZMy son and I wanted to go skiing, this place was ideal for that: Location relative to skiing and other activities was great! Blue Mountain (where we went) is ~15 miles away (~30 min drive). The apartment is in the middle of Allentown, 2 blocks away from city center, plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, coffee shops, etc., in the neighborhood. Also, plenty of activities within ~10 min drive (mall, large department stores, laser tag, go karts, etc.) To me, this was the most important aspect. Very spacious 2 bedrooms and large kitchen / living room combination. The bedrooms were plenty large for the two of us, could easy accommodate 2 parents and 2 kids. The kitchen was eat in. The apartment was very clean, had plenty of supplies in it (e.g. towels, soap, etc.) Worth noting is that the coffee machine in the kitchen is a 4 cup drip, make sure to bring the right kind of coffee! Sergia was a great host. Any time I reached out, she responded quickly. We didn't need anything from her (everything was organized, access was easy), but it was great to know that she responded quickly when we reached out. Sergia was able to get us a parking spot in back of the apartment (for an extra $5 / day). This is well worth it. From a cursory glance at the neighborhood, there is plenty of parking available on the streets. Having a private spot with easy access to the apartment was great. Only slight issue is that the apartment is facing a major city street / thruway (and the associated noise of an occasional truck rolling by). This is very typical for city living. My son and I had no issues sleeping, but some might, especially in the front bedroom (back bedroom was very quiet). Previous renters commented on beeping noise from downstairs business -- this issue is resolved, we had no such problems. Overall, the next time we go skiing, we'll definitely want to stay here, no questions about it. It was a great experience all the way around. Thanks, Sergia!!
Ari2017-02-24T00:00:00ZThe apartment is located above a hair salon on a major through way in Allentown. The hair salon was closed during my trip but I did meet the lady who opened it on the day I checked out and she seemed really nice. As people have noted, this location is NOISY, but can get extremely unbearable in the middle of the night if you do not come prepared with earplugs. On Friday night we got to enjoy the pleasures of illegal street racing and missing mufflers from what seemed like 11 or 12 to 4 am. We bought ear plugs on Saturday and slept like babies. This place is down the block from a supermarket and close to some great locations like Blue Mountain Resort and Grand Prix Racing. The host was always receptive and extremely accommodating. I wouldn't think twice to reserve here again.
Russell2017-02-28T00:00:00ZSergia was a lovely host who responded quickly to all of my questions. I had a little trouble finding the parking spot for the apartment but was given further instructions when I reached out for help. I was in town for business in Bethlehem and the location was great for that. The check in/out was through a lockbox which was so convenient. I did encounter one issue that was no fault of Sergia's. The apartment is above a business. I came home during my second night staying at the apartment and discovered that the smoke detector in the business below was running out of juice. Resulting in a very loud beep every 30 seconds. I did not reach out to Sergia because what could she do? It was 11pm by this point and knew that if I wanted this fixed, I would have to disturb the sleep of others. I set up a 'white noise machine' on my computer to block out the sound and was able to drown it out quite effectively. Again, this has nothing really to do with the host or the great apartment, but just something to note about the risk you take when renting through Airbnb. There is no front desk to call. ANYWAY. The bed was cozy and the place was very secure.
rachael2017-01-09T00:00:00ZSergia was a very good host, very accommodating. However, there was a smoke alarm that was running low on batteries and beeped throughout our stay. The headboard on the bed in the front bedroom squeaked and made noise if you moved even the slightest, making it difficult to sleep. Overall stay was good, we were skiing at Blue Ridge Mountains and it was very close.

Wayne was fantastic. He and his son were so warm and we felt so welcomed into their home. Their beautiful home was a perfect place for us to stay and the gardens across the street gave us a great opportunity to slow down and enjoy some greenery. At the same time, it was easy for us to get into center city for our friend's wedding (Uber). We'll absolutely plan to stay here again if we ever find ourselves in Allentown. Thank you so much, Wayne!
Kevin2016-11-17T00:00:00ZWayne is a welcoming host . Although I didn't know that there is another guest also in the house . But we only saw each other at night time and we had privacy that we needed. The house is spacious and beautifully decorated. Very clean and comfortable. Overall I had a great time during the stay.
Qiqi2016-12-30T00:00:00ZI stayed at Wayne's place for my birthday weekend at it was a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood. Wayne was an awesome host, as he went above and beyond by recommending fun things to do locally, and he was great at communicating with me. He always replied in a timely fashion if I had any questions. He was also very welcoming and kind. I would definitely visit again if I'm in the area :)
Francesca2016-09-14T00:00:00ZWayne is a great host. Checkin was easy - provided with code for the front door. Location is great; 5 minutes from Wegman's and across the street from a park. Although listed as "entire home", host is typically on premises but in master bedroom with private entrance. We only saw him in the morning when he made coffee. That said, Wayne offered great ideas for things to do in the area. The conversation was enjoyable. Very nice home and great decor.
Andrew2017-03-03T00:00:00ZVery nice house, very friendly host. I stayed here for 4 weeks for work, and I looked forward to returning to the house's inviting, comfortable atmosphere. I'd stay here again and recommend this listing.
Todd2017-02-04T00:00:00ZWhat an immaculately decorated, gorgeous home. Was perfect for our stay. Quiet without being "out of the way". Five minutes to Whole Foods and other shops. Wayne was out of town but Julia was helpful and kind. Every interaction was seamless and went smoothly. Definitely be back next time I'm in the area.
Maceo2017-02-14T00:00:00ZLoved the time we had in this home using 3 rooms. Wayne was exceptional in every way. From the privacy given to the personal touch and hospitality. Hope to be back soon.
Santes2017-03-05T00:00:00ZThere is only one way I can sum up my experience at Wayne's house, AWESOME. He was able to accommodate our last minute request for a Sunday night check-in. When we arrived, he was there to greet us with a big smile. My husband, 1 year old son & myself felt so welcomed from the time we arrived until the time we left. He has a beautiful ranch style home which is a perfect set up for an Airbnb. Wayne & another Airbnb guest stayed on the left side of the home while my family stayed on the other side. Everyone had their own bathroom and plenty of privacy. I never stayed at an Airbnb when the host stayed on the property but it was a great experience. Initially when Wayne stated there was another Airbnb guests already staying there, I was a little apprehensive. But I am so glad I still decided to book. We were all on a different schedule and interacted in the evening, which I enjoyed. This is a great location for a single, couple and/or family. We had full access to the common area (kitchen, living room, dining room, washer/dryer). During the day, I would be working in the living room, while my son was watching TV in his play pen. It was like a home away from home. The internet also worked well. Wayne was so kind to drive me to run an errand and also took us to the local playground. Wayne was like a mentor. He gave us insight on the area, car buying, home ownership & how to build wealth. Wayne has a wealth of knowledge that he is eager to share. It was by design that we stayed at his place. After leaving Wayne's home, I felt that he would not only be a great point of reference but he could also be a friend. If you are looking for a safe environment, immaculate home & gracious host, there is no other place to stay but Wayne's home.

When I arrived there was fresh fruit and cold beer waiting for me!! The apartment was very big and I still can't believe the price. Great deal and so close to everything.
David2016-08-02T00:00:00ZGreat home, but the neighbors upstairs were very loud at odd hours (1/2am)
Judy2017-01-10T00:00:00ZYou will have a wonderful time here! It's clean and very comfy. Adriano was always quick to respond and even left some refreshments and other necessities to live there. Highly recommended and would definitely come again!
Joselito2016-12-04T00:00:00ZGreat place, very comfortable, lots of space.
Akshay2016-09-26T00:00:00ZWe stayed here for 9 days while working in the Allentown area. We enjoyed our stay very much. The one bedroom studio apartment had everything we needed to enjoy our time away from home.
Daniel2016-06-08T00:00:00ZIt's definitely great for a couple to just be away from it all. Unfortunately, I was very cold during my stay because the host did not tell me where the thermostat was and the heat turned on only once randomly. The host also seemed irate and confused by me calling him about the key situation. Luckily, we weren't in the house very often but that's something to consider if you'll be staying there. Also the tv is impossible to see from the bedroom. Other than that, the place was very clean (bring your own bottle opener) and was very nice and serene.
Justin2016-11-26T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation 11 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
BenjaminThis is a great location, the area is quiet and the parking was manageable. The host was available and the neighbors are nice. I stayed for one night (Saturday-Sunday) because I was in town for a half marathon which was Sunday morning at 6am... I really enjoy this place, it was clean and safe! My only complaint would have to be that whoever lives right above the apartment has heavy feet, maybe a few kids or must have had company. I went to bed at 10:30pm but had difficulty falling and staying asleep throughout the night due to noises coming from above... this lasted till about 4am.

I enjoyed staying at Ruby's place and talking with her and her mom while I was there. They went beyond what they needed to do to accommodate my plans and to ensure an enjoyable stay, and I greatly appreciate it.
Jeremy2016-10-10T00:00:00ZI had a great time with Ruby and her mom, Patricia. They made me feel at home and we had fun going out to town!
Dana2016-10-03T00:00:00ZRuby is great and so is her mom. They accommodated all of our needs and helped us when we asked. The area is safe but at night there are sometimes some cars playing loud music that go by and it can be a bit noisy. Overalls good experience.
Jonah2016-10-13T00:00:00ZRuby and her mom Patricia have been wonderful hosts. I will recommend them to everyone and I'd definitely stay here again.
Bartek2016-10-27T00:00:00ZRuby and her mother were very friendly. Made me feel at home. She was willing to accommodate my crazy work schedule and let me check out later.

James2016-11-23T00:00:00ZHad a great stay here. Ruby and her mom are gracious hosts. Solid location as well; very walkable to the city center. Definitely recommend staying here.
Andrew2016-11-06T00:00:00ZRuby and her mother were so sweet and welcoming. This was a convenient place for me to stay. It is street parking and at first I was concerned that I might have a hard time finding a spot at night time, but it turned out not to be an issue at all. Plenty of parking. I would stay again.

Mary was incredibly generous about staying up late for my check-in and went out of her way to get me to a car rental. Bed was comfy and you can't get closer to campus!
Erin2017-01-23T00:00:00ZWords can not describe how grateful I am to have found Mary's listing. Her house is in a really safe area of Allentown with nice parks and restaurants within walking distance. She made me feel welcome from the time I got there to the time I left two weeks later. She is as nice as they come and very knowledgeable when it comes to things to do while you are in town. The house was always clean and the room was more than enough for what I needed. Thank you Mary for your amazing hospitality!
Kyle2016-09-30T00:00:00ZWe loved staying with Mary. I was in town for a business trip and it couldn't have been a nicer way to spend the off hours. Very comfortable, spacious, and the yard was a lovely place to relax at the end of the day. My only regret is that I didn't get to linger over coffee with Mary in the morning! I'll definitely be back.
Adrienne2016-09-23T00:00:00ZI enjoyed my stay with Mary. The room was clean and cozy and the balcony was fantastic. Mary was very welcoming and made me feel right at home. She has an amazing patio/backyard that was lovely to sit in.The room is just blocks away from Muhlenberg and there was no problem with parking. I will definitely stay with Mary again.
Marcia2016-05-15T00:00:00ZMary was a wonderful host. My directions were perfect and I found a spot immediately. Coming from New York, that's a big deal! The home was comfy and cozy, as was my bed. Everything was clean and wonderful. I slept well. Mary is such a delight. I wish I had more time to spend talking to her. I will definitely use her home again as I'll be going back for more classes Namaste Mary

My stay at Ricky's was great, his place is clean and quiet. Ricky was very helpful with the neighborhood and advice on getting around. As an added bonus, Ricky is an amazing cook and was kind enough to invite me to eat with him! I definitely felt welcome at Ricky's place and will stay again when I travel to the area.
Shelley2015-05-11T00:00:00ZRicky was an awesome host, his home was lovely, spacious, neat and well decorated. I arrived late in the evening and was a last minute booking and he was more than welcoming. Great conversationalist, made coffee in the morning and made sure I had everything I needed. I would definitely recommend !
ML2015-04-08T00:00:00ZRicky is a great host! Two of my friends and I stayed at his home for the Via marathon and we couldn't have been more pleased with the accommodations. The house was very clean and nicely decorated, including some great art that Ricky painted himself. Even though we awoke super early to leave for the marathon, he was up and had coffee brewing before sending us off to the race. I will certainly stay there again when I'm back in Allentown. Thanks Ricky! -Don
Don2015-09-16T00:00:00ZRicky was a warm, inviting, and friendly host. He had beautiful, clean rooms ready when we arrived and had special treats for us as well. The house is amazing (his artwork is displayed). We woke early for the marathon and he had coffee prepared for us already. I would 100% stay again if I am in the area.
Bekah2015-09-15T00:00:00ZRicky was a great host! His home is beautiful and in a very nice location in Allentown. He was very easy to get in contact with and was very flexible with check-in times. We only stayed one night and we wished we had more time to stay and enjoy the beautiful accommodations. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in town.
Martha2015-05-04T00:00:00ZRicky is incredibly warm and welcoming, and my late arrival was not a problem at all. He made me feel right at home, and his home is clean and very comfortable, in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful park across the street. Breakfast was great. Wish I could have stayed longer. Will stay again when I'm in the area.
Richard2015-04-26T00:00:00ZWonderful stay! One of the best of my many air b n b experiences.
Erik2017-03-10T00:00:00ZRicky was an excellent host! He had my room all ready for me to go, communicated quickly with me via text message on the day of to arrange my arrival, and showed me around the house when I arrived! The room/house is a bit chilly, but Ricky offered extra blankets and a space heater in the bathroom. I didn't end up needing the extra blankets because I felt warm enough, but the space heater was great! The room, bathroom, and house were all super organized and clean. The neighborhood was very nice and there was ample street parking.

This place...truely like walking into an upscale hip nyc home except in the heart of allentown pa. My girlfriend and I stayed here for a last minute overnight get-away. WE WILL BE BACK! Mike is an incredible host! We conversed via text and discussed my plans and he was even nice enough to get us tickets to that nights hockey game. He joined us! Even walking us to the arena. Enough cannot be said about how top notch his "service" was during our stay. The entire experience was great. For a small group of friends (6+ people) or just a couple looking to have a romantic getaway this is the place to be. I promise you, you will not want to leave the house it's that breathtaking. Top perks of the house: -Spacious -Quiet -Tablet controlled lighting throughout the house! -full house Speaker system -tree house room with mood lighting (great for your morning coffee) -60+ inch TV theatre room. -shower meant for the gods and goddesses -living room fireplace that Mike provides fire starter a logs. -full kitchen with sky lights that brighten up your morning.
Eric2017-01-22T00:00:00ZMike's place is truly one of a kind. It's a blast! There are tons of different rooms, each with its own unique artwork, style and theme. The bathroom (and the bidet!) ruined us; future bathroom experiences just won't compare. We had a great time playing music and darts and just hanging out. Mike is super friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Thanks a million, looking forward to staying again soon!
Brooke2017-02-14T00:00:00ZWe had an amazing time at Mike's Downtown Funk House. The colors, art and attention to detail are fantastic. Mike was really wonderful and made sure we had everything we could need or want. It was my partners birthday and he even had a card and a bottle of champagne waiting for us. The fire was going and the music of our choice was playing upon arrival. It was a wonderful weekend and I would highly recommend Downtown Funk to anyone staying in the area. Thanks again Mike for your hospitality.
April2017-02-19T00:00:00ZMike was very communicative and attentive, right down to having a SoundCloud playlist of our preferred music genre already playing upon our arrival. He gave us a quick but helpful tour and let us know he was just a phone call away. Regarding the space, Downtown ATown "Funk" is right. The space itself is really special. The many gadgets, the eclectic art, and architectural peculiarities add up to an out-of-this-world experience.
Michael Adam2016-12-13T00:00:00ZAtown funk is the perfect eclectic getaway for anyone who enjoys anything outside of the norm. From all the amazing art to the most incredible bathroom I've ever stepped foot in, heated floors in the kitchen and bathroom, the delicious home roasted coffee, and the Zen treehouse.. You're bound to not want to leave this place. Mike is a phenomenal host and will go out of his way to make sure you're comfortable and have everything you need. I'll definitely be booking house place again in the future.
Hillary2017-01-16T00:00:00ZThe pictures don't do this place justice! Mike's house is absolutely beautiful, and he is a caring host. It felt like I was staying at a friend's place. Mike stayed nearby during our rental and checked in regularly to make sure we were comfortable. The neighborhood is very safe and close to Hamilton.
Rabia2016-11-08T00:00:00ZGreat fine. I will be staying at a-town funk in the future
Seth2016-12-30T00:00:00ZMike was an amazing host, and his place is truly wonderful. He took the time to walk us through everything, and maintained great communication with us when we had questions. The house is spacious, and truly has a special vibe that even the (admittedly awesome) pictures cannot do true justice to. We stayed here for a business trip, which made waking up somewhere that felt like home that much better. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the area next year! The house is also within walking distance of downtown Allentown, which has awesome restaurants and nightlife. Catch a hockey game if you can--it was the highlight of our trip! Also, as a side note, the coffee machine was out of bounds--best part of our morning! Thank you again Mike for an amazing experience. :)

We stopped here during a long road trip and did not give much notice, but Rosalie was extremely responsive and accommodating. She even gave us the room with a larger bed because there were two of us! Also, she provided a light continental breakfast. I would absolutely stay with Rosalie again!
Daisy2016-09-25T00:00:00ZExcellent host. Very accommodating. Stayed in the basement. Very comfortable. Beautiful bathroom. Plenty of drinks in the fridge. Parked in the driveway and had easy access in and out. Provided me with a small breakfast and delicious coffee in the morning. I recommend staying here.
Ryan2016-10-27T00:00:00ZRosalie was very welcoming, but also respected our privacy. The bed was a pull out sofa which was fine, but not what we expected. The area we slept in was the lower level of the house, and had curtains for privacy instead of a door. The bathroom was not as clean as I would like. The neighborhood was perfect for us. Overall a good value.

She made my first airbnb experience wonderful. She was a great hostess. I highly recommend her spot. The room was comfortable, just what I needed. Thank you
Jen2017-02-26T00:00:00ZFirst of all Judeae is a great host. She is very amicable and welcoming. However, the listing seems to be her actual bedroom that she cleans (its very clean) and lists it on airbnb. I could clearly hear all the noise outside throughout the night from the cars passing by to the people shouting outside the window. The parking available is in the street and you have to get up before 8 am to move the car or put quarters in the meter. When I tried to log in the wifi it was temporarily disconnected which it would have been fine if Judeae had mentioned that before I arrived there.
Karina2017-03-01T00:00:00ZClean and very comfortable room. With a private entrance and bathroom, it felt like my own studio apartment (only without a kitchenette). This place is just steps from downtown, where I had an interview first thing in the morning. This was the ideal spot and very affordable. Judeae was very nice and accommodating. I was checking in very late (10pm), but she was able to accommodate without hesitation.

Chris and Sabrina were perfect hosts. The house is very nice and the room you get is awesome. The bathroom is connected directly to it and the bed is really comfortable too. In other words, you have complete privacy down there and they offered me use of all their appliances during my stay, including my own entire side of their refrigerator. Theyre perfectly located too. It's right in the middle of a very nice neighborhood. Dorney Park is literally right down the street. There's plenty of places to choose from for food in the area as well. I don't come out to this part of PA often but if I ever do find myself in the area again, Chris and Sabrina are who I'm going to to crash.
Brian2016-11-13T00:00:00ZThe space is just as described. The dogs were more of a comfort than a challenge. Nice to have order, comfort, and clear communication. This is my second Airbnb experience. I'd stay here again if I were coming back to the area!!

Aditya2016-12-01T00:00:00ZChris was an exceptional host. He was understanding and accommodating of some changes to my arrival and departure time as well as my need to practice my instrument during my stay (I'm a professional musician). The room is very private and spacious. If I need to return to Allentown I will absolutely book here again!

Marilyn's house is fantastic! It's incredibly homey and comfortable. Both John and Marilyn make their guests feel very welcome. The rooms are immaculate and the beds are comfy too! It's quiet and within walking distance to Muhlenberg College. I would highly recommend their house to stay if you are in Allentown.
Careena2016-05-13T00:00:00ZMarilyn and John are wonderful hosts. To begin with, I arrived hours before checkin time straight from the airport, and had nothing to do until my son got out of class at Muhlenberg, so they graciously gave me the tour of the house & let me go upstairs and sleep! There was breakfast available each morning. I don't think they were bothered by the fact I kept my son's schedule; coming in at 2am, and sleeping till 11am. ( I tried to be quiet.) The house is amazing; not too far from the airport, across from the Mormon temple, easy street parking, 2 floors, and very long front to back, 2 staircases. They are a very charming and interesting couple, I enjoyed the few hours I was able to spend with them. I pray for their continued health and happiness.
Robin2016-05-12T00:00:00ZWhat an amazingly wonderful family and home. Marilyn welcomed us at a late hour and instantly made us feel welcome and at home. So accommodating and made sure we were setup for the evening and had a wonderful healthy breakfast in he morning. The house itself is a marvel, wood work that is truly art built into the home and so well kept. I would highly recommend The Bender residence to anyone looking for a great retreat setting.
Yaseen2015-05-26T00:00:00ZMarilyn and John were wonderful hosts. They made me feel welcome and comfortable in their beautiful vintage home. The home was immaculate and I had access to most rooms, including a sun-filled parlor where I enjoyed my morning coffee. They offered several delicious breakfast options, which I was not expecting - fresh fruit, homemade granola, yogurt, an egg soufflé and of course, coffee. Location is perfect for Muhlenberg parents, just a mile from campus. I'd be back in a heartbeat if it were not for the fact that my daughter soon graduates.
Jeanne2015-04-19T00:00:00ZThis was a beautiful historic house and had a warm welcoming feel to it. It is near downtown and is close to most shopping centers in the area as well.
Susan2016-06-22T00:00:00ZA simply beautiful historic home, immaculate, with a warm family welcome, on one of the nicer blocks in town. Easy parking and right off one of main avenues into Allentown.
Jonathan2015-04-01T00:00:00ZThe house is amazing. Looks small from the outside but is very roomy inside. The house was a 15 min walk to downtown. Marilyn and John are the best. We had fresh granola and fruit every morning for breakfast. We even got quiche on sunday.
Douglas2015-10-28T00:00:00ZMarilyn and I were both traveling that day but she made sure that if we arrived first we would still be able to get into her home. She was very welcoming and everything was neat, clean, and beautiful. Marilyn had the AC on before we arrived to cool off the room. We arrived even later than we planned due to some car issues but she was very welcoming despite the late hour-- even gave us a tour of everything.

Beautiful house and the most comfortable bed I have slept in in years!!! Thanks so much!!!!
JD2016-04-21T00:00:00ZEliana and her husband Alex were lovely and welcoming, and the bed was extremely comfortable (my highest priority). My only caution is that the bathroom wasn't as clean as it might have been.
Nancy2016-04-03T00:00:00ZAfter deciding to make a last minute trip to see family, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find a booking. I found Eliana's home listed, and she graciously accepted. The room and home were exactly as described. I was very comfortable and had everything I needed. I actually ended up leaving early to beat the holiday traffic home, and Eliana was completely understanding about it. I will definitely stay again.
Vivian2015-12-26T00:00:00ZEliana was very kind and welcoming. Our room was clean. It was a wonderful place to to stop on our long drive home, very quiet and comfortable.
Grace 2016-04-01T00:00:00ZNeighborhood was nice and quaint and very homey. It was a very nice family oriented neighborhood. We felt very safe in the home, you will love it here!
devon2016-04-26T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation 25 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
JenniEliana and her relatives in the house are very personable and welcoming. The description of the list matches the actual conditions. I really appreciate them inviting me to their party in a local bar, and offering me lots of guidance when I had any question. The kids can be noisy though. I used earplugs so that the noise does not bother me much.

Ashley2017-02-18T00:00:00ZWe came for a concert at PPL Center. Had a good night's sleep in this nice house. Hosts (and dog) were friendly and neighborhood is pretty with lots of nice houses and trees.
Jessica2016-11-15T00:00:00ZIt was a lovely stay at a cute, comfortable, and very clean home. I enjoyed chatting with my hosts and playing fetch with their lovable dog. I felt right at home and I highly recommend their place to anyone visiting Allentown. :)
Barbara2017-01-06T00:00:00ZFantastic stay! Room was as described and hosts were welcoming. Easy parking, great beer bar three doors away. Parking and coming and going was easy. Hosts were very accommodating and allowed for late arrival on a holiday. Beautiful historic home that was exceptionally clean, which we didn't totally expect with pets being in the home. We will absolutely stay here again when visiting the area.

Gloria was very nice and flexible. We needed early check-in and Gloria agreed with it. We did not spend the night at the Studio, but everything was clean and cozy. It is very close to everything.
Dolly2017-02-21T00:00:00ZStaying at Gloria's is like having your own little apartment! There is plenty of space to stretch out, the private entrance is nice, and having a living area & dining table is a plus! Gloria was able to provide excellent suggestions for dining in the area and was very helpful with everything. I would recommend this space to anyone staying in Allentown!
Kathy2017-02-26T00:00:00ZHonestly, this place was the best airbnb place we have ever been (and we have travelled quite staying at airbnb places, both in North America and Europe). We met Gloria and she was very kind and quick responding/helping with any issue. The house is stunning and the area is quiet and lovely. I definitely recommend this place!
Alba2017-03-07T00:00:00ZVery nice place to stay!
Sungji2017-01-01T00:00:00ZGreat and easy stay! Clean and cozy basement room with attached den. Gloria was a very nice host and left snacks out.
Aaron2017-02-08T00:00:00ZSuperb experience. I use airbnb all the time and have almost always had great experiences, but this was one of the only times I didn't hesitate AT ALL to rate everything 5 stars (although I almost gave "accuracy" 4 because the place it even nicer than it appears in the photos!). First off, it's important to note that even though this is listed as a "private room," it's more like it's own mini-apartment: there's a separate entrance from outside (which is a couple feet from the off-street parking spot), and the staircase all the way at back that connects the suite to the rest of the house is hardly noticeable. The space is well laid-out and actually more spacious than it appears in the photos. I was on my own, but if there were two guests, each person could easily occupy their own space in the apartment without distracting the other (except for sleeping in the bed, of course). The space was impeccably clean, with the added bonus of containing some basics in the fridge, plus a microwave and coffee maker. I work in Allentown sometimes, and it's the perfect place to relax, do some work, and get a very good night's sleep. The place was very quiet, despite being located on a road that a lot of cars drive on. It's close to Muhlenberg College, a nice park (good for running), stores, and the Bieber bus station. Gloria was a pleasure to communicate with both before and during my stay. She was clear, helpful and understanding of my schedule. Last but not least, she and her family are extremely welcoming and personable. I felt right at home chatting with them (they even invited me to eat some tacos with them!) and was also able to retreat to the suite and have the privacy I needed.
Leigh2017-01-18T00:00:00ZGloria was a wonderful host and the space is beautiful. Private- spacious. Couldn't ask for more

The hold up is at long last over as the main look secret of Karan Johar's most foreseen film 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' is out and is looking completely lovely without a doubt. Ranbir Kapoor's chemistry with both his driving women, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Anushka Sharma looks astonishing!
I'm focussing on direction now: Vinay Pathak
While Ranbir had romanced Anushka in 'Bombay Velvet' some time recently, this is the first occasion when, he is seen romancing Aishwarya and their peculiar, unordinary science will most likely take your hearts. Coordinated by Karan Johar, the film likewise stars Fawad Khan in an exceptional cameo. The secret, alongside it's title track was discharged today and the tune immediately warms the cockles of your heart and enters directly through it.
Actor Rajiniknath to play lead role in Dhanush's Home Production
Sung by Arijit Singh, and lipsynced by Ranbir, this excellent sythesis is an unmitigated chartbuster and we wager you can't resist the urge to play it on the circle. While the secret has figured out how to gather eminent reaction from the faultfinders and the crowd alike, we now can hardly wait to watch the trailer of the film. Bring it on Karan!

Simon Purchase Article Facebook Twitter Email My FA Saved Articles Print Every U.S. president since Harry Truman has sought peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors. Every president since Lyndon Johnson has opposed the building of Jewish settlements on land that Israel occupied in June 1967 and has supported a diplomatic solution by which the Jewish state would trade much of that land for a secure and lasting peace. And every president since Bill Clinton has worked for a two-state solution under which Israel would enjoy security and genuine acceptance in the Middle East and the Palestinians would run their own affairs and prosper in a viable, independent state. Achieving these goals has never been easy, and Washington's attempts to put the Israelis and the Palestinians on the path to peace have regularly been stymied by rejectionism on both sides. Palestinian leaders have proved unable or unwilling to grasp past diplomatic opportunities, and the current Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the most right-wing in Israel's history, represents segments of society that are fixated on a vision of an Israel that excludes Palestinian aspirations and rights. The Obama administration made a serious effort to break the impasse but failed, and the status quo is probably unsustainable. Although any new administration would find the landscape daunting, the United States' strategic interests and moral values call for continued opposition to Israeli settlements in occupied territory, a continued insistence that the Palestinians pursue their cause through peaceful means, a continued commitment to a two-state solution, and continued attentiveness to Israel's strategic vulnerabilities. In other words, the most basic requirement is to do no harm, thus following in the tradition of past presidents. Donald Trump, it must be said, looks like a different kind of president. In his coldness toward the vision of a Palestinian state and his indifference to the problem of settlements, he has aligned himself with Israel's right wing, and his surprise victory gave that camp hope that their dreams of absorbing the Palestinian territories into Israel Get the best of Foreign Affairs delivered to you every day.

Alan Bennett, Untold Stories: Pt. 3 Written on the Body (WW)
By: Alan Bennett (author), Alan Bennett (reader)Audio Book1 - 2 weeks availability
'Untold Stories', Alan Bennett's first major collection of prose since his bestselling 'Writing Home', brings together the finest and funniest of his writing over the last ten years. Following on from 'Untold Stories: Part 1: Stories' and 'Part 2: The Diaries', 'Part 3: Written on the Body' is both a reflection on Alan Bennett's childhood and schooldays and a meditation on writing. 'Written on the Body' is a sideways look at Bennett's schooldays at Leeds Modern School, and a recollection of the growing pains of puberty. 'Seeing Stars' is a nostalgic view of the movies of the Forties, seen by Bennett and his family in any one of the half a dozen cinemas in their district in Leeds, including the Western, the Clifton, the Picturedrome and the Lyric. Finally, 'Staring Out of the Window' lets us into Bennett's creative process, which apparently consists of a good deal of ...well...staring out of the window. 2 CDs. 2 hrs 28 mins.Create a review
About Author

c++ Casting base class to child class?
Im fairly new to c++. There must be a better way to do the following?:-
Say I have a base class, Pet. I have several child classes that extend from this, like Dog, Cat, Fish etc.
I have the following function, that returns a pointer to a new Pet:-
Code:Pet* addPetToVet() { //Do some stuff return new Pet(); }
now, if I want to interprete this pet as a dog or cat I have to do this:-
Code:Dog* dogA = static_cast<Dog*>(addPetToVet()); Cat* catA = static_cast<Cat*>(addPetToVet());
01-06-2011 #2
I don't know what your "Cat" and "Dog" classes look like - but as it stands there's nothing that makes it clear that the result of addPetToVet() even is a cat or dog. If Cat or Dog have extra data fields that Pet doesn't, the result of working with the dogA pointer could be that you wind up clobbering the next thing in memory after the Pet you created with addPetToVet().
Basically, if you're going to static_cast<> a pointer, you should be sure that the pointer points to an object of the type you're casting to. You shouldn't cast it to Dog* unless you're sure it was allocated as a new Dog or a child class of Dog.
(Of course, if you are sure that the memory footprint of class Dog is no different than the memory footprint of class Pet, it can be safe, even useful to allocate as Pet and cast to Dog - you just have to be careful that you get it right...)
If your classes have virtual methods (and they probably should - otherwise what's the point of storing them as base class pointers?) you can use dynamic_cast<>. The nice thing about dynamic_cast<> is that it does runtime type checking. So if you have a Cat* (stored as a Pet*) and you try to dynamic_cast<> it to Dog*, the cast will return zero, because the type is incompatible. You can use this to determine the type of a base class pointer.
As for creating the Pet*'s, why not just call "new Dog(...)" or "new Cat(...)" as needed? If there's some bit of extra work that needs to be done upon construction, the constructor can call that code...

You can't use static casts for this. You need to use the dynamic_cast<type>() method. It will return a null pointer if it can't do the up-cast as necessary from Pet* to Dog* or Cat*. IE:
Code:Pet* pPet = addPetToVet(); Dog* pDog = dynamic_cast<Dog*>(pPet); if (!pDog) { cout << "Not a dog!" << endl; }
Final note. Remember, if you use dynamic_cast<type*> with a pointer, it will either return nil, or a pointer to the specified. If you use it with a reference, as in dynamic_cast<type&>, it will either return a reference of the correct type, or throw a bad_cast exception.
Ultra-final note. You can use static_cast<> when casting from a derived to a base class, or from a non-virtual base class to a derived class. Because it is unchecked at runtime, it is faster than dynamic_casts<>. However, it cannot be used to cast from a virtual base class (such as Animal, which may be virtual base class for Pet, Livestock, etc) to a derived class. For that you need to use dynamic_cast<>, which IS runtime checked. So, in the final analysis, know what you really intend, and beware of the Law of Unintended Consequences...Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!
01-07-2011 #4
Well, you can use static cast to change a parent-class pointer to a child-class pointer... In the case of pointer types or references, as long as there's a path up or down the class hierarchy from the original type to the new type, static_cast can make the conversion. The trick is you just need to be sure that this conversion is safe before you attempt it.
One relatively safe example would be something like this:
Code:BaseClass* x; ... if (dynamic_cast<DerivedClass1*>(x)) { DerivedClass1& y = static_cast<DerivedClass1&>(x); .... } else if (dynamic_cast<DerivedClass2*>(x)) { DerivedClass2& y = static_cast<DerivedClass2&>(x); .... } else if (dynamic_cast<DerivedClass3*>(x)) { DerivedClass3& y = static_cast<DerivedClass3&>(x); .... }
You can also use static_cast<> to convert to a child class in cases where you can be sure the child class introduces no additional member variables. For instance, if you call a function that returns a pointer to an object of class A, you could introduce methods to that object by creating a class B which derives from class A, adding the new method there, and doing a static_cast(). Though usually there should be no need for something like that...

As per my understanding, the dynamic_cast in shown below code snippet will hold valid when the Base pointer holds the Derived class object.
Code:Base *b; .. Derived *d = dynamic_cast<Derived*>(b); ..

Yes, that is the case. If Derived <- Base, then a dynamic cast of the Base* to a Derived* will be either null if Base is not of type Derived, otherwise it is a valid pointer to the Derived object. You can up or down cast with dynamic_cast<T*> this way. It will adjust the pointer address in cases like this:
Code:class Base1 { int member1; . . . }; class Base2 { int member2; . . . }; class Base3 : public Base1, public Base2 { int member3; . . . }; class Base4 : public Base1 { . . . }; class Derived : public Base3 { . . . }; void somecode() { Base1* p1; Base2* p2; Base3* p3; Base4* p4; Derived* d1; p1 = new Derived; // Fine - Derived is a kind of Base1, Base2, and Base3; p2 = dynamic_cast<Base2*> p1; // Fine - p1 is actually a Derived object, which is a kind of Base2 p3 = dynamic_cast<Base3*> p2 // Fine, for the same reasons, but p2 <> p3 because Base2 // is offset from the root of Base3.. p4 = dynamic_cast<Base4*> p1; // FAIL - Derived is not a kind of Base4 object so p4 == 0. d1 = dynamic_cast<Derived*> p2; // Fine, but because Base2 is offset from the root, d1 <> p2. }
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!

Autodesk Announces Revit LT
5 Sep, 2012 By: Nancy Spurling JohnsonAutodesk today celebrated the one-year anniversary of Project Spark — an Autodesk Labs technology preview that is essentially a smaller, lighter version of Autodesk Revit software for building information modeling (BIM) — by announcing the impending release of Autodesk Revit LT 2013.
Priced at $1,200 for the standalone product (vs. $5,775 for standard Revit), Revit LT is designed for small archtectural and contracting firms that are using 2D workflows and looking to transition to the BIM process. Revit LT is said to offer many of the benefits of 3D modeling and BIM — such as more accurate modeling and documentation and improved collaboration — without the typical expense and learning curve associated with Autodesk Revit adoption.
Revit LT is built on the Revit platform and offers the following benefits, according to Autodesk:
- Work more efficiently with a single, coordinated model that allows users to concurrently design and document building projects. Autodesk Revit LT automatically manages iterative changes to building models throughout the documentation process. As a result, a consistent representation of the building is maintained, helping to improve drawing coordination and reducing errors.
- Design and visualize in 3D. Revit LT allows users to see designs virtually, improving their understanding of the building and its spaces and helping them communicate design ideas to clients more clearly and effectively.
- Create photorealistic renderings in the cloud. Users who purchase Autodesk Subscription with Revit LT can render in the cloud directly from the Revit LT interface, enabling them to produce photorealistic visualizations without tying up their desktop.
- Exchange designs in the DWG or RVT file formats. Produce designs in the DWG file format and experience fluid file exchange with project team members using other Autodesk Revit software applications.
Compared with the full version of Revit, Revit LT is missing the ability for multiple users to collaborate on the same project file simultaneously, the ability to perform in-product rendering, and several other features. Revit LT does include full documentation functionality, as well as most basic 3D modeling and visualization tools. A detailed comparision of product features is available on the Autodesk web site.
Autodesk Revit LT 2013 is scheduled to be available within the month in North America. In addition to the standalone version, the new product is available as part of the Autodesk Revit LT Suite 2013 ($1,500, including AutoCAD LT). A free 30-day trial version will become available on September 18.
Autodesk wants to move its customers along the path toward adoption of its 3D modeling software and the more complex rendering and analysis products that come with the 3D territory. Joining the ranks of AutoCAD LT and Autodesk Inventor LT, Autodesk Revit LT makes that transition more affordable and less challenging to a segment of the design market that often hesitates to adopt new technologies and that, in the wake of a crushing recession, will certainly welcome a less-expensive option for moving to BIM.

Layer Manager
The Layer Manager is mainly used to add CHaMP layers to the map with the correct symbology applied. Through this the user can view different CHaMP datasets (e.g. Thalweg, DEM, Control Points, etc.) that may not normally be placed on the map from running a tool alone. In addition to this layers can be removed from the map and a user can get an idea of where they are at in the overall workflow based on what can be accessed through the Layer Manager.
- A valid Survey GDB must be opened with the CHaMP Topo Toolbar to activate the Layer Manager button.
- Open the Layer Manager by clicking the button on the far left of the CHaMP Topo Toolbar, highlighted in a red box below in the image below.
- Select the layers to add to the map by checking or unchecking their boxes.
- Click
Update Table of Contents
to add the checked layers to the map.
The Layer Manager user interface is shown in the image below and the different features are detailed.
Below is a video tutorial exploring how to use the functionality of the Layer Manager.

Feminism in "The Yellow Wallpaper"
The yellow wallpaper is a story about John and his wife who he keeps locked up due to her "nervous condition" of anxiety. John diagnoses her as sick and has his own remedy to cure her. His remedy s to keep her inside and deterring her from almost all activities. She is not allowed to write, make decisions on her own, or interact with the outside world. John claims that her condition is improving but she knows that it is not. She eats almost nothing all day and when it is suppertime she eats a normal meal. John sees this and proclaims her appetite is improving. Later in the story, the woman creates something of an imaginary friend trapped behind the horrible looking yellow wallpaper in the room, which her and john sleep. She watches this woman and in the end...

Written between A.D. 413 and 426, The City of God is one of the great cornerstones in the history of Christian thought, a book which is vital to the understanding of modern Western society. Augustine originally intended it to be an apology for Christianity against the accusation that the Church was responsible for the decline of the Roman Empire, which had occurred just three years earlier. Indeed, Augustine produced a great amount of evidence to prove that paganism was responsible for this event. However, by the time the work was finished, the book had taken on a larger theme.
"Sharp thinker; profound topic; still relevant"
Saint Augustine's contributions to Christian theology are second to no other post-apostolic author in the whole sweep of church history. Yet along side his doctrinal treatises, Augustine tells a story of his life devoted to Christ as his only satisfaction. The Confessions is at once the autobiographical account of Augustine's life of Christian faith and at the same time a compelling theology of Christian spirituality for everyone.
"Impressions on first listening to the book."
The only true and unedited telling of the life of Christ - his life and times,in historical context, but not lacking the psychology behind his physical being and spirit. Unlike other books seeking to strip Jesus' story to reveal only the human being, Romano Guardini's The Lord gives the complete story of Jesus Christ - as man, Holy Ghost, and Creator. Pope Benedict XVI lauds Guardini's work as providing a full understanding of the Son of God away from the prejudice that rationality engenders.
"We need Guardini today more than ever"
Whether taken as a book of faith or a cultural artifact, the New Testament is among the most significant writings the world has ever known, its web of meaning relied upon by virtually every major writer in the last 2,000 years. Yet the New Testament is not only one of Western civilization's most believed books, but also one of its most widely disputed, often maligned, and least clearly understood, with a vast number of people unaware of how it was written and transmitted.
"Should have a different title"
Nothing except the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is a greater miracle or wonder in human history. God becoming flesh in human history is the greatest marvel. Jesus of Nazareth was foretold in the Torah and the Prophets centuries before his appearance, and he was proved to be real and not a pretender due to his death and Resurrection. The early church grappled with all of this intellectually.
Written by Saint Augustine of Hippo, Confessions is the saint's autobiography that features 13 books that detail his early life and his conversion to Christianity as a result of the sin that he had incurred in his youth. Throughout the series, he also delivers his philosophical ponderings and ideas on theology, and it becomes evident that each event that has occurred in his life has had something to do with religion, as Saint Augustine is able to bridge the connections between these two very important topics.
"Perfect Narration Delivers Profound Wisdom"
Dubbed the "Dumb Ox" by his classmates for his shyness, Saint Thomas Aquinas proved to be possessed of the rarest brilliance, justifying the faith of his teacher, Albertus Magnus, and sparking a revolution in Christian thought. Chesterton's unsurpassed examination of Aquinas' thinking makes his philosophy accessible to listeners of any generation.
"Best book on Thomas in English"
Institutes of the Christian Religion is John Calvin's seminal work on Protestant systematic theology. Highly influential in the Western world and still widely read by theological students today, it was published in Latin in 1536 and in his native French in 1541. The book serves as an introductory textbook on the Protestant faith for those with some previous knowledge of theology and covers a broad range of theological topics from the doctrines of church and sacraments to justification by faith alone and Christian liberty.
"A Must Read/Listen For Reformed Christians!"
Marcellino D'Ambrosio dusts off what might have been just dry theology to bring you the exciting stories of great heroes such as Ambrose, Augustine, Basil, Athanasius, John Chrysostom, and Jerome. These brilliant, embattled, and sometimes eccentric men defined the biblical canon, hammered out the Creed, and gave us our understanding of sacraments and salvation. It is they who preserved the rich legacy of the early Church for us.
"Masterful summary of the early Church Fathers"
"I remained, lost in oblivion; My face I reclined on the Beloved. All ceased and I abandoned myself, Leaving my cares forgotten among the lillies." Thus writes 16th century Spanish poet and mystic, St. John of the Cross. In this, his third work, the author reflects on the nature of a personal union with Christ, found in the abandonment of self.
Written by G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy addresses foremost one main problem: How can we contrive to be at once astonished at the world and yet at home in it? Chesterton writes, "I wish to set forth my faith as particularly answering this double spiritual need, the need for that mixture of the familiar and the unfamiliar which Christendom has rightly named romance."
"A True Gem"
In 2007, Joseph Ratzinger published his first book as Pope Benedict XVI in order "to make known the figure and message of Jesus". Now, the Pope focuses exclusively on the Gospel accounts of Jesus' life as a child. The root of these stories is the experience of hope found in the birth of Jesus and the affirmations of surrender and service embodied in his parents, Joseph and Mary.
"An Insightful Book from a Great Theologian"
As we all know, and as many of our well-established textbooks have argued for decades, the Inquisition was one of the most frightening and bloody chapters in Western history, Pope Pius XII was anti-Semitic and rightfully called "Hitler's Pope", the Dark Ages were a stunting of the progress of knowledge to be redeemed only by the secular spirit of the Enlightenment, and the religious Crusades were an early example of the rapacious Western thirst for riches and power. But what if these long-held beliefs were all wrong?
"Historical Accuracy needed in modern world"
Apologia Pro Vita Sua (A Defence Of His Life) by Cardinal Newman offers a marvellous insight into the mind of a devout Christian, a colossal figure of the nineteenth century. It is, moreover, one of the greatest spiritual autobiographies ever written in the English language, laying out the development of John Henry Newman's religious opinions up to the year 1845 when he finally converted to Roman Catholicism.
"newman's intellectual and spiritual journey"
Since his retirement as Archbishop of Canterbury and his return to academic life (Master of Magdalene College Cambridge), Rowan Williams has demonstrated a massive new surge of intellectual energy. In this new audiobook, he turns his attention to St Augustine. St Augustine not only shaped the development of Western theology, he also made a major contribution to political theory (The City of God) and, through his Confessions, to the understanding of human psychology.
These 12 illuminating lectures paint a rich and detailed portrait of the life, works, and ideas of this remarkable figure, whose own search for God has profoundly shaped all of Western Christianity. You'll learn what Augustine taught and why he taught it – and how those teachings and doctrines helped shape the Roman Catholic Church. These lectures are rewarding even if you have no background at all in classical philosophy or Christian theology.
"Core principles"
Part poetic masterpiece, part mystic treatise, The Dark Night of the Soul by 16th century Carmelite monk St. John of the Cross, addresses the feeling of being forgotten by the Presence of the Almighty that every Christian desirous of walking more closely with God must pass through in order to learn to walk by faith and not by sight.
"Guide for Mystical Live"
This treatise comprises questions 90–97 of the Summa Theologica, in which St. Thomas Aquinas presents a philosophical analysis of the nature and structure of law. Believing that law achieves its results by imposing moral obligations rather than outright force on those subject to it, he proceeds to explore vital questions about the essence of law, kinds of law, effects of law, eternal law, natural law, human law, and changes in law.
The world hates the Church that Jesus founded, just as He said it would (John 15:18). It reviles her doctrines, mocks her moral teachings and invents lies about her history. In every age, but especially in our modern day, historians and political powers have distorted the facts about her past (or just made up novel falsehoods from scratch) to make the Church, and the civilization it fostered, seem corrupt, backward, or simply evil.
"Wow, well read!"
N.T. Wright's accessible new volume, built on his Cambridge University Hulsean Lectures of 2004, takes a fresh look at Paul in light of recent understandings of his Jewish roots, his attitude toward the Roman Empire, and his unique reframing of Jewish symbols in relation to his experience of the risen Christ. Then Wright attempts a short systematic account of the main theological contours of Paul's thought and its pertinence for the church today.
"Like reading a commentary on audio"
In The Day the Revolution Began, N. T. Wright once again challenges commonly held Christian beliefs, as he did in Surprised by Hope. Demonstrating the rigorous intellect and breathtaking knowledge that have long defined his work, Wright argues that Jesus' death on the cross was not only to absolve us of our sins, it was actually the beginning of a revolution commissioning the Christian faithful to a new vocation - a royal priesthood responsible for restoring and reconciling all of God's creation.
"Standard Wright, both the strengths and weaknesses"
Here is the best of the audio from the famous Catholic television program, "Life is Worth Living!" For more than 30 years, Archbishop Fulton Sheen was the voice of the Catholic Church, with his radio and television ministries that touched hearts all over the world. His wisdom and gentle insight are once again available in digitally remastered audio recorded from his live programs.
"Amazing audiobook!!!!"
Aquinas at Prayer draws attention to important aspects of Aquinas's life and work which have been all too often overlooked or forgotten. Today Aquinas is almost exclusively regarded as an outstanding scholastic philosopher and theologian. But what is little known is that Aquinas was, first and last, a teacher of the Bible - a Master of the Sacred Page. Moreover there is a distinctly mystical character to his theology. And, as a writer, he was not only a poet but, arguably, the greatest Latin poet of the Middle Ages.
"The Veil of is Torn.... he is indeed a Saint"
Over the past hundred years, scholars have attacked the historical truth of the Gospels and argued that they were originally anonymous and filled with contradictions. In The Case for Jesus, Brant Pitre taps in to the wells of Christian scripture, history, and tradition to ask and answer a number of different questions, including: If we don't know who wrote the Gospels, how can we trust them? How are the four Gospels different from other Gospels, such as the lost Gospel of "Q" and the Gospel of Thomas?
(P)2009 christianaudio.com
"Not most entertaining"
The book can be very boring for those who are not doing theology or church history, for academic purpose, however, the book is still worth collecting and listening to.

So, does this mean all the fuss over people using Barack's middle name can stop now?
President-elect Obama says he plans to use all three of his names when he takes the oath of office in January, giving voice to a name that was used heard during the campaign except by critics. In his first post-election newspaper interview, with reporters from the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times, Obama was asked: "Do you anticipate being sworn in as Barack Obama or Barack Hussein Obama?" |

The Fear of Freshman 15 and Eating Disorder Behaviors
The transition from high-school to college can be, and often is, a very trying time in a young adult's life. Learning how to live on your own, attempting to develop new relationships, enduring countless late nights studying- these common stressors are all immediately propelled into the everyday routine of a new college student. Unfortunately, in addition to the unavoidable pressures of college comes an insatiable inclination to maintain or meet the body standards that the media at large portrays as desirable. For incoming college freshman this often means avoiding the dreaded "Freshman 15" at any cost. The stigma of the freshman 15, which researchers have in fact proven to be a myth, in combination with the stressors of college can quickly trigger or worsen selective eating disorder or other eating disorder behaviors.

Besides selecting an appropriate package for your operating system (Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux; 32 or 64 bit), you should take into account the following considerations.
Should I download standard, full, or NGS package?
Explanation of the tip above: Some tools are embedded into UGENE as external. To be launched from the UGENE graphical interface, an external tool needs a corresponding executable file. The list of the external tools can be found on this page.
The standard package does not include the tools, whereas the full package include all the required tools.
The NGS package, besides containing the external tools, contains sample data for the Cistrome pipeline (hg19 genome, reference genes, etc.), so you can run it out of the box.
I have Windows. Should I download installer package or portable zip bundle?
If you have administrative rights on Windows, use the installer package. It will make integration with your Windows system more tight. For example, it will add associations for bioinformatics formats supported by UGENE, so that corresponding files are opened in it by default.
I have Linux. Which package should I use?
If your Linux is not Ubuntu or Fedora, then universal binary package is the only choice. Otherwise, for more tight integration with the systems, you can install UGENE from corresponding repositories, following these guides:
Please note that the repositories may be updated a little later the official UGENE release date.

We start the morning with news of Euro zone moving deeper into deflation. Prices for January fell 0.6%, (Financial Times). Eurostat says this is the largest decline since 2009. The problem is structural and answers are difficult. The idea the ECB can wave a magic wand of QE is more of a dream than reality. Reality finds industry chasing the cheapest method of production. The cheapest production lies outside of the Euro zone.
Euro zone is caught in a downward spiral of high unemployment causing consumers to hold back on consumption. All the money from QE cannot change this fact unless jobs are created. Why should manufacturers create jobs if consumers are not spending? Not all the news is negative. Germany, the economic powerhouse of Euro zone continues showing low unemployment levels and today announced positive retail sales, the best in 2 1/2 years (Reuters).
We also have news from Japan showing household consumption shrank more than expected (Financial Times), while core inflation fell for a fifth consecutive month in December. This performance is quite the opposite from Prime Minister Abe and the Bank of Japan's aggressive mission to create inflation. The Bank of Japan cut inflation expectations to 1%. Target is 2%.
In a world of deflation, money will continue chasing the safety of bonds with higher return rates. Thus the underpinnings of the sustained momentum in US Treasury bonds attracting capital from all over the world. With the USA serving as the only expanding growth engine and talk of potential interest rate rise sometime in 2015, the US dollar continues showing strength. All eyes are on the USA GDP report issued today at 8:30AM ET.
The world remains "risk" averse with the exception of European equity indexes…and by extension European equities as traders anticipate ECB's QE will cause a rise in stocks. DAX and STOXX 50 are expected to continue climbing. We are looking for evidence the DAX may become market anchor. This means we monitor ES to see of ES rises or falls with DAX instead of vice versa.
There's news about Russia cutting interest rates, but I see little in this action for trading importance. The Russian economy is imploding, Ukraine is a wild card that could get worse, and the ruble is weakening. Speaking of Ukraine, it is unfortunate the European Union could not agree on tougher economic sanctions. The lack of tougher sanctions gives the green light for further Russian aggression in Ukraine.
Crude is flat. Without any news, traders are working to keep the dream alive holding crude over the critical $44.60 level. Breaking this level lower suggests $37.10 is next target.
DAX is lower, still stuck in 5-day consolidation. Next target is 11,000 on the up side.
ES follows the DAX lower. We continue watching the "head and shoulders" price pattern on daily ES chart.
Coffee incrementally green…hope springs eternal here. Other softs are incrementally lower.
Gold hit our expected target yesterday. We see a little green this morning, which means nothing. More discussion in the Trader Weekly Review this weekend.
Our March short in Soybeans continues showing no movement. Support is strong. Here are comments from Allendale with my emphasis in bold:
Floor sources are suggesting the quiet trade with bouts of abrupt moves has been caused by spreading. Soybeans have been supported by the meal/bean oil spread. Since EPA's announcement of Argentina biodiesel coming to the US, traders have been buying meal and selling soyoil. Due to meal being a greater portion of the soybeans values it has supported prices. World edible oil values around the world continue to slide which is putting additional pressure on soyoil. Soybean meal out of the US is competitive on the world market for March delivery and is providing support to meal values.
Allendale also notes: Major index funds are beginning to roll positions forward, Roger's fund started yesterday rolling from March to May, and Goldman roll starts Friday Feb 6th.
The next USDA supply and demand report is on February 10. Mark your calendar. IF soybeans do not fall, we should assume they will grind higher into this report. Once the report is released a knee-jerk could occur. All the fundamentals favor us, but either farmers are not selling or bearish speculators are afraid of continued selling at these levels. For the moment we hold.
US GDP just released came in at the low end of consensus range suggesting the USA economy cooled down in the fourth quarter after a stunning third quarter (revised to 5.0% growth!). USA traders will likely assume the slowing growth could cause the FED more reasons for exercising patience with any benchmark interest rate increase. As I write, ES is non-responsive to the GDP report. Bonds rose. US dollar and Euro show no reaction.
We have Chicago PMI at 09:45AM ET – This could move the intra-day market for equity indexes.
Consumer Sentiment released at 10:00AM ETFED Tarullo speaks at 12:45PM ETFED Bullard speaks at 7:00PM ET
Trade well today and enjoy your weekend!

Don't Sugarcoat It Award for March 2
The blogosphere is all abuzz about how us lefties know and use the seven dirty words better than the wingnuts.
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand dirty words.
Oh, let's not go there. You know I image google "panties" just about every day and seriously I am immune to most dirty pictures. I do wish summa those girls would take a shower and use just a little of their obviously huge body-wax-budget on their upper lip (yeah, the one just below their nose) before the flash goes off, if you get my drift.
Anyhoo, the award today goes to This Old Broad, who in my opinion is neither. She's a fox in looks and brains. And she doesn't sugarcoat her short story, which she tells in pictures. Good going, gal.
PS. Full Disclosure: Using teh Google's advanced blog search, Blue Gal, the blog, hosts 582 instances of George Carlin's seven dirty words. I consider that low.
