New eqmake4. Fixes bug #244692 . Thanks to Davide Pesavento <firstname.lastname@example.com> for all the patches
Reverting qt4.eclass additions of src_configure and src_compile, which have wider implications then i realized on my previous commit. But qt4_src_prepare stays, for autopatch functionality. And QT4_BUILT_WITH_USE stuff remains deprecated. Use EAPI=2 use deps pretty please! I also hope this commit message is verbose enough to satisfy Donnie ;-)

Quote arguments passed to eqmake or it will fail when passing variables with whitespace on them.
Fix qt4 eclass
Typo fix
fix quoting eclass/qt4.eclass: line 130: syntax error near unexpected token `(' eclass/qt4.eclass: line 130: ` eerror "(1) In order to compile ${CATEGORY}/${PN} first you need to build"'
Fixes from bug #203955
In qt4_min_version, if we have EAPI >= 1, then use a slot dep to make the dependency much nicer/easier to look at. Also, in qt4_pkg_setup, if we are with Qt 4.4, do a little more scrutiny of the use flags since some use flags are not used anymore in Qt 4.4, and some are now split into other packages.

We've long since admired Toronto's east end; we love the shopping on Queen (check out Stacaro, one of our favourite retail haunts) and restos such as Gio Rana's, where we've spent many a night up to our nipples in Italian fancy and Limoncellos. Whether you favour Cabbagetown, Cork Town or the Distillery District (for those outside Toronto, these are but a few of the cooler enclaves), the city's east end appeal is undeniable.
Another popular district is Riverdale, thanks to its cultural mix, friendly residents and various architectural home styles. Sure, Cabbagetown expounds with neat manicured avenues, the Distillery District boasts commodious post and beam lofts, but Riverdale has the quirkiest homes of all. Some are painted grey with neat picket fences, while others are 100-year-old red bricks with window boxes bulging with topiary. Many are concrete-rendered and painted in warm tones, and the remainder vinyl-sided "clapboard" affairs with unfussy lines. Due to Riverdale's bohemian allure, the media fraternity is buoyant, which is where today's homeowner, Craig Goodwill, comes into play.
Craig, a TV and film director, shares his home with makeup artist wife Mona, and together they've transformed it, with the assistance of our fellow columnist Bryan Baeumler, from a tired fixer-upper to the perfectly appointed abode it has become today. Arranged across three floors, the house is decorated in predominantly neutral tones, but comes alive via carefully selected photography that peppers the space.
"Mona and I enjoy collecting photographic art, but I also love creating my own imagery. When something catches my eye — a place, a person, an animal — I have to have it, to capture it, to own it. My photography observes a moment in time and allows me to preserve it for posterity."
As well as being a personal sanctuary, Craig's home also served as a useful workhorse during the creation of Patch Town, an official "Short Cuts" selection at this year's Toronto International Film Festival. Written and directed by Craig, the 27-minute short is a musical black comedy set in the Soviet era. Based on a Russian fable that suggests babies arrive, not via stork, but via the cabbage patch, it crams in extraordinarily high production values and tells the story of Jon (played by Rob Ramsay) who, abandoned by his "mother" (played by Lisa Ray), sets out in adulthood to trace his roots.
Forget the squash-faced inanimate dolls that stole kids hearts during the 1980s; Patch Town babies are real children (each harvested and "processed" from a cabbage), who are blighted by consumerist ideals, the very phenomenon that saw many 1980s dolls discarded by their "moms" as soon as a shinier toy became available. As much a feast for the eye as it is the imagination, the tale clashes Russian folklore and Soviet-style oppression with Western appetite and greed. Mixing touches of Peter Greenaway (The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover) with Caro and Jeunet (City Of Lost Children) — and even Terry Gilliam (Brazil) — the film, nonetheless, imparts its own unique flavour that mesmerizes from the very first scene.
Patch Town, however, will undoubtedly challenge viewers; it's not a soft soap account of the birds and the bees, but rather a densely black piece of work with surrealist comedic undertones. It's utterly thought-provoking — and at times, disturbing — and a film, explains Craig, that simply had to be made. "Now it's done it's like the final Patch Town baby has been born. The one that tells the distressing story of so many lost and discarded' children."
Chatting with Craig, talk swings like a pendulum between cinema and home, and he's clearly passionate about both. "This house is our haven, even though people are always coming and going. It's a very social place." Indeed, the dark wooden dining table where Craig posed for our portrait is the very station at which production meetings were held to work through scripts, budgets and locations. Members of his team, on an almost daily basis, gathered to work out strategies while phones would be ringing, kitchen designers would be visiting and wooden flooring contractors would be assessing work.
Completed, the kitchen diner also serves as a lovely backdrop against which to contemplate the delivery of the film to its TIFF audience. White doors reflect light, while palest grey Statuario marble countertops bounce illumination even further. The standard of workmanship, at every turn, is impeccable. Zebrano veneer and dark wood flooring add visual depth. Just like a film script, explains Craig, his home's interior is all about "interaction."
"We worked with Irpinia Kitchens to plan the design. We knew the kind of look we hoped to achieve, but with so many other things going on we employed their services to ensure we got it right."
As film production and home reno ran in tandem, Craig and Mona, as if all this weren't enough, were planning their wedding, a union which took place last September. So a stressful time, then? Eh, no. Craig doesn't like to make a fuss. Busy as he is, his focus doesn't appear to shift, even when multi-tasking. "I've reared that movie from the start. I'm so proud of it. But I've been blessed along the way with an amazing team who helped the rest of my life carry on as normal. Everyone wanted the film to be born and seeing it accredited during TIFF has been, well, it's been unbelievable."
With his directorial star ascending, does the talented filmmaker foresee a time when a move to America might be required? "Canada has a remarkably buoyant film industry so I'm very comfortable here. But of course there are interesting possibilities elsewhere. And in L.A., obviously, there are some wonderful opportunities. Guess only time will tell."
As the pendulum swings back to home territory, we talk about how important it is to feel centred in one's own environment. We've always maintained that a good home will encourage its occupants to feel productive, and it's little wonder that in this lovely house, Craig's storytelling imagination has been unbridled. Clutter is minimal. "It gets in the way," explains our host, "neither of us like to undermine our space with items that aren't either practical or beautiful." Pausing, to refresh our coffee, he adds: "Sure, this is our home, but it has to remain organized because it's also my second office. Mona has been really patient. She'd be working all day and come in exhausted but she'd still listen as I poured the woes of the film industry upon her while working through scripts and budgets. She's been a total rock."
One floor up from the living room are two well appointed guest bedrooms and a dark timber detailed porcelain bathroom. On a chunky wooden washstand sits an elongated rectilinear sink dressed with handmade soaps and a Phalanopsis orchid in a metal drum. Nothing is overplayed or overly fussy. Towels, neatly stacked, provide functionality while bolstering the room's immaculately groomed esthetic. From the landing, further stairs lead to Craig and Mona's master suite, a bright airy space with French doors that yield onto a neat terrace, added as part of the renovation. "Ours was pretty much the only home in this stretch that didn't have a sun deck but with a precedent already set it was fairly easy to get approval." We imagine warm mornings with freshly brewed coffee and croissants, and, as we conjure up the vision, Craig seems to read our minds. "With the weather we've had lately it's the perfect place to start the day. Long may it continue."
Our home tour concluded, we descend the stairs and prepare to leave. Wishing Craig all the luck in the world for TIFF, we stride into the street and jump in our car. It's not yet noon but the district is already throbbing, its eastern promise luring us into a coffee shop to start transcribing the notes we've amassed from our morning of "Goodwill Hunting." Perhaps, if the call of L.A. becomes too much for Craig and Mona to resist, we'll offer to babysit their Riverdale home when they're out of town on Patch Town business. For we could, indeed, be very comfortable there.

With the start of the new year, many people will make the commitment to improve their health by making resolutions. Quitting smoking or tobacco is one of the best ways to improve a person's overall health.
With the start of the new year, many people will make the commitment to improve their health by making resolutions. Quitting smoking or tobacco is one of the best ways to improve a person's overall health. "It's important to remember that once you commit to quit tobacco, you might have to make several attempts," said Emma Goforth, tobacco cessation expert at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. "Most people do. That's because nicotine is very addictive. But people shouldn't give up trying just because they haven't succeeded in the past. There are multiple resources to help people quit." Celebrating 10 years of service, the Colorado QuitLine offers a free telephone coaching service to quit using tobacco. Along with personalized coaching, the service provides a free supply of nicotine patches or gum. Colorado residents can call 1-800-QUIT NOW (1-800-784-8669). Additional resources are available at coquitline.org and Facebook.com/QuitLineCO Be Tobacco Free "When people quit, they'll feel their health improve immediately," said Mike Moreno, tobacco control program director for the Otero County Health Department. "Within 20 minutes after quitting, their heart rate and blood pressure will drop. And within 12 hours, their carbon monoxide levels in the blood decrease. They'll feel better and breathe easier, too." Long‐term health benefits of quitting include lowering the risk of cancer, heart disease and stroke and increasing overall health and lifespan. Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States and can lead to severe health problems – including cancer, heart disease and strokes. About 4,300 Coloradans die every year from tobacco‐related illnesses. Annual Colorado healthcare costs directly caused by tobacco use exceed $1.3 billion. Additionally, research shows that secondhand smoke causes heart disease and lung cancer in non‐smoking adults and is a known cause of sudden infant death syndrome or SIDS, respiratory problems, ear infections, and asthma attacks in infants and children. Even brief exposure to secondhand smoke can trigger heart attacks.

ZAZEN BY ALONE (Part A Million)
OK. Today I was trying to answer some of the e-mail people keep sending me. As I've said before, I read everything. But I'm usually so swamped with "real job" stuff that it's nigh on impossible to answer even a fraction of what I get.
The following e-mail expresses some things that I get asked a lot. So maybe if I answer this it'll be relevant to a number of people out there with similar questions:
"I wonder if the following could be a subject for one of your posts. I've done zen meditation for 2 years now. I started joining a soto-shanga in Amsterdam for 6 months. I don't regret it. They taught me how to sit, how to breathe and meditating in a group can be really uplifting. But there were a few things I didn't like: the sutra-chanting, the bowing for the buddha-statue and the 'responsible monk' had kinda authoritarian habits. For example, he didn't like my questions, though I found them quite innocent. When I asked him why wearing a kesa was so important for him, he gave me a long, deep glance and stated: "My kesa is the cosmos." And when I asked him what 25 years of zen exactly brought him, he gave me an even deeper, not to say furious glance, and said solemn: "The essence". I couldn't help laughing, and he didn't like it. So I left his sangha and started to sit by myself, at home.
"Now a lot of zennies try to convince me that sitting on your own is impossible. I can never do it without a good teacher, they say. Now I would like to have one, but I can't find him. My meditation is slowly getting better and deeper. I might not be a perfect zen-BUDDHIST, but my wife, who is Japanese, always says: "You western people confuse the paraphernalia of eastern wisdom with eastern wisdom itself. Forget about the kesas, the statues and the sutras." I try to avoid evil and try to practice good. Already for years I've tried to solve the lines from the Heart-sutra 'form is emptiness and emptiness is form'. My question is: is my zen worse than 'sangha-zen'? Isn't it better to avoid crap teachers and stick to the classics zen literature and face the challenge at home? And: do I have to be a convinced zen-buddhist to practice pure zen? I wonder I you one day could elaborate on this. If not: already your writings are a source of inspiration and encouragement to me. Thanks a lot."
And thank you for asking!
I've just come back from the San Francisco Zen Center (SFZC) and it's got me thinking a lot along these lines. SFZC is probably a bit like the place you attended — a large, professionally run Zen center with an established physical space and a permanent staff. The staff at SFZC rotates, as do the staff of most similar centers, but the positions are filled at all times. In order to keep a place like that going you have to establish it more or less the same way you run a business. There has to be a hierarchy within the organization, there have to be policies, there needs to be a set curriculum for students and established rules and rituals for members to follow. Otherwise the whole thing goes to Hell.
When most people think of Zen, they think of places like this, whether they know it or not. The great monasteries of China and Japan both ancient and modern were and are all run pretty much the same way.
This is one stream of Zen. I'd say it's probably the main one, the one you're most likely to run into if you Google the words Zen and the name of your home town and head off to the first place that pops up on the screen.
I happen to have studied in a different style. The two teachers I had were from lines under the overall umbrella of the Soto school. But both of these lines rebelled against the way the Soto school as an organization ran things. The Soto school, to their credit, allows and even to some extent encourages this.
Since Buddhist teachers tend to call themselves "priests" and/or "monks," most people tend to assume things are run pretty much like the Holy Roman Catholic Church runs things. But that's not really the case. I could write a book about this — and I am kinda/sorta doing that — but this is s'posta be a casual blog entry so I won't go into it much more than that.
I cannot say across the board whether the institutional type way of running things is better or worse that the very loose way things were handled by my teachers (and by my teachers' teachers too). It's up to the individual to see what works for him or her. I can say most definitely that I would not have pursued this Zen thing as long as I did if the only forms available were the institutional ones. Not a chance in Hell. Some representatives of the institutional stream might think that'd have been a good thing. Let 'em think whatever they want.
However, I am glad those Zen institutions exist and I often encourage people who write me in far away places to go to them. I do not know first-hand whether or not the particular teachers in any of these institutions are good, bad or indifferent. Some people, like Mr. "I Found The Essence" you talked to take themselves waaaaaaayyyyyyyy too seriously. Some are far too concerned with matters of protocol, ritual and who's higher than who in the pecking order and all that nonsense. Some don't give a shit about any of that stuff but allow a certain amount of it to go on in their places just so everything keeps running smoothly. You don't know until you spend some time with them. It's not something you can usually judge very quickly.
If the only places to practice in your neighborhood seem like big ol' monk factories and you hate that, I'd say go there anyway. Sit with your hate. Maybe it's justified. Just sit with it. Maybe your impressions are completely wrong. Don't matter. Just sit. If the place is really a snake pit, you'll probably figure it out soon enough and you can leave. Or maybe you'll be one of those idiots who follows the cult leader to the Kool Aid® tray, in which case I can't really help you. I tend to suspect that those types don't read my stuff anyway (or else they do read it and leave snippy comments).
I am a firm believer that the right teacher will always appear eventually. Sometimes it takes a while. Just keep at it. If you have a decent bullshit detector installed in your head you probably won't get led too far astray. Just pay attention. Ask questions. Don't accept easy answers. Don't be a sheep following the herd. Don't drink the Kool Aid®.
Also don't get any fantasies that if only you could come sit with me — or some other teacher whose stuff you've read — everything would be just peachy. My dad met someone on-line recently who was a huge fan of my books. My dad said he was nervous about meeting this person face to face because she might expect him to be just like me. I said, "Dad, even I am not just like 'me' when people meet me in person!" The same goes for absolutely anyone else. If you could get in your time machine and go meet Dogen or Nagarjuna or even Buddha himself I bet you dollars to donuts you'd be tremendously disappointed in them. And I can guarantee you'd be disappointed in me!
It's OK to keep sitting on your own and it's OK to be skeptical of the various teachers you encounter. It's true that you do need a teacher. But you don't need to be in a big, huge rush to find your teacher. If you really know how to listen everyone and everything becomes your perfect teacher.

Editor's note: This story has been updated to give the correct ages for Danielle Lee Timm and Dylan James Timm.
ADRIAN — An Adrian man was cited for careless driving following a three-car crash Friday that caused minor injuries to six people.
Austin Alexander Birg, 20, was driving north on U.S. 223 near Industrial Drive at 5:55 p.m. when he rear-ended a vehicle driven by Nancy Colleen Bishop, 47, of Clayton, according to a report released Monday by the Adrian Police Department.
The force of the crash pushed Bishop's vehicle into the southbound lane and into the path of a Jeep driven by Danielle Lee Timm, 34, of Onsted.
Bishop, Timm and Timm's passengers, Dylan James Timm, 14, Breanna Marie Timm, 12, Jeffery Michael Timm, 9, and Harley Lee Davis, 12, all of Onsted, were transported by Lenawee Community Ambulance to ProMedica Bixby Hospital in Adrian for treatment of minor injuries.
U.S. 223 between West Maumee Street and M-52 was temporarily closed while the crash was investigated and the vehicles were removed from the scene.

This is my favorite time of the year. This is the time of the year when the outcomes of other games have much more meaning to us. You actually can root for one side during games regardless if you like the teams or not.
Here I present my Week 14 Games That Matter *Note that these will only cover games that can impact the seahawks.
FALCONS (11-1) vs PANTHERS (3-9)
Lets go: Panthers
Why: Unless Atlanta loses out, we wont be jumping above them in the seeding and 1st seed will pretty much be a lock for them. However, its pretty obvious that we want them to lose out.
EAGLES (3-9) vs BUCCANEERS (6-6)
Lets go: Eagles
Why: At this point the Eagles are out of contention and Tampa is right on our heals. We currently hold the NFC conference tie-breaker over Tampa, but we dont want that to even be a factor. Heres hoping Andy is trying to salvage his career and get a win here.
RAMS (5-6-1) vs BILLS (5-7)
Lets go: Bills
Why: Rams are currently 4-0-1 in the division. I know, doesnt make any sense. Regardless, the Rams winning out could be a knife in Seattle's back if Seattle lose 1 of its next 3. Really, Really, Really need Rams to lose.
COWBOYS (6-6) vs BENGALS (7-5)
Lets go: Bengals
Why: Another obvious NFC vs AFC matchup. We want the NFC to lose more at this point. Common sense. But lets not forget that the Cowboys are still in the running for a wild-card spot. A loss here would almost seal their fate. And also, screw the cowboys.
RAVENS (9-3) vs REDSKINS (6-6)
Lets go: Ravens
Why: Washington is 1 game behind us and also currently holds a better conference record than us. If they were 7-5 today, they would be 6th seed, not us. Swallow that one for a bit. Ravens are coming off a sore loss, so here's to hoping they come out fighting.
DOLPHINS (5-7) vs 49ers (8-3-1)
Lets go: Do I even need too...
BEARS (8-4) vs VIKINGS (6-6)
Lets go: Vikings
Why: This is actually one of the harder games to pick a side because win or lose for either effects us. If the vikings win, they stay in trailing distance of us, if the Bears win, they stay at least 1 game ahead of us. But because of the tie-breakers we hold over the vikings, we could technically let them catch us. If the bears lose and we win, we instantly go above them due to the tie breaker. Bears losing gives us a better chance at a higher seed. Lets go Vikings.
SAINTS (5-7) vs GIANTS (7-5)
Lets go: Saints?
Why: This one gets tricky. The current assumption is that NY is the division winner. NY currently has no head 2 head with us but does hold a better conference record then us. Assuming they keep the division, then them losing or winning is irrelevant at this point unless we take our division too (which is where seeding will effect us), but if Washington somehow takes the division from them, we could be battling for the wild-card spot with them. The saints however have a worse conference record then us even if they beat NY. The Saints getting to the playoffs is far more difficult even if they do win this one.
LIONS (4-8) vs PACKERS (8-4)
Lets go: LIONS
Why: At this point, Detroit poses no threat to us. Them getting in means we lost all but 1 and a bunch of other teams tanked as well. Obviously though, a loss by GB means we now jump ahead of them in the Ranking (assuming we win). If we take the division and they hold on to theirs, we gain homefield advantage over them. If CHI reclaims the north, then that win against GB will really shine.
Feel free to discuss and disagree, I see two game where people could make arguments for either side.

As I had been accustomed to, '' I called the escort service as soon as I arrived and establish a date for Tuesday night at 9pm. Rather than requesting a particular woman, I simply told them to send me their latest, youngest escort. Now, the only night Steve and Jan could meet for supper was also Tuesday night. I advised them that would be fine, but we'd have to finish by eight. But since Megan was now in college she had been too busy to join us. So the three of us enjoyed a nice dinner, reminisced, and caught up on the latest happenings in our own lives. I went to a local liquor store and bought a fantastic bottle of wine in preparation for my "date".
I arrived at the resort restaurant a couple of minutes after nine and seen an attractive young brunette, hair a bit beneath her shoulders and wearing a tight black dress that barely touched her thighs. Assuming this was my date I walked up and sat next to her. "Hello, I'm Derek", I stated. As she appeared and turned on my way she recognized her immediately. "Megan! I didn't expect to see you. Just how are you?" I expected her to be more excited to see me. Instead, her face turned suddenly pale and deflated. "What is wrong? Are not you happy to see me?" I asked. She feigned a smile. "Of course I am, Derek. It's just that ..." she turned back her head toward the bar and looked down. "I think I am your date."

Difference between revisions of "Athens/Piraeus"
Revision as of 00:03, 31 July 2012
The Piraeus is the ancient port of Athens and still functions as the chief exit point from the city by sea for destinations amongst the Aegean Islands and elsewhere in the east Mediterranean. Domestic destinantions include all of the Aegean islands except the Sporades and some smaller Cyclades and Dodecanese isles that require a connection. International destinations (apart from cruise ships) include Cyprus and the Middle East.
Piraeus occupies a huge territory. Check your gate number [1] in advance so you know where to go (it may take 15 minutes of driving / 30 minutes of walking to reach one end of the port from the other).
Since privatisation of the Port of Piraeus Authority [2] passenger facilities have improved greatly. Air conditioned tents have been set up at departure locations around the port and free wi-fi internet access is now available.
Sailings (arrivals and departures) are posted outside the Coast Guard Building at Karaiskaki Square, the main bus terminal for the Piraeus suburbs. Sailings are also available online [3] from the Ministry of Merchant Marine [4].
The area can become hectic, especially during the summer period, so allow plenty of time to navigate to the correct departure point.
Get in
Most travellers arriving in Piraeus from Athens make use of the very convenient Metro [5]. Line 1 terminates at the Port, from there it's a short walk to the Saronic Gulf ferries, hydrofoils and catamarans, or a free shuttle-bus ride to the ships sailing to Crete and the Dodecanses. Central Cyclades ferries conveniently sail from just across the metro station. Metro ticket costs €1.00 and allows unlimited connections on all modes of transport within 90 minutes.
Direct Airport Express buses [6] run 24 hours between the port of Piraeus and Athens International Airport [7]. Allow 90 minutes for the trip. The Airport is also accessible via the Metro, with a connection at Monastiraki. Bus tickets to the airport, available from the driver, cost €5.00; Metro tickets to the airport are €6.00.
Other public buses connect Piraeus with its outlying suburbs, the southern coastal zone and with central Athens. Bus and trolley-bus tickets cost €1.00 and are valid for unlimited connections(including metro) within 90 minutes. They must be bought in advance (generally from kiosks or inside metro stations) and validated once on board.
During the "season", a goodly number of cruise ships stop here. Modest sized ships dock within easy walk of the passenger terminal (approximately a mile south of the Metro station). Large ships dock about 2-300 meters farther away, closer to the busy entrance to this harbor. From the terminal, you could take a taxi, or you might find a city bus going toward the Metro terminal (ask in the terminal); otherwise, you face a walk with entrances to ferry and freight docks on the shore side, and various commercial and civic buildings on the other side of the very busy street. Those walkers who stay on the harbor side can use a pedestrian bridge over the street within sight of the Metro station.
Get around
The centre of Piraeus and the Port can be negoatiated easily on foot if you are not carrying luggage. Yellow trolley buses (trolley bus no 20) are useful for the run from the Port to Passalimani and then follow the very scenic route around the hill of Castella, terminating at the Line 1 Metro station of Neon Phaleron (Neo Faliro), near the Peace & Friendship and Karaiskaki Stadiums.
Free shuttle buses inside the Port run from across the Metro Line 1 Terminal Station, around the north side of the port to the ships sailing for Crete, the Eastern Aegean and the Dodecanese.
The most important thing to do is to take a ferry to the Greek Islands. You also can have a nice walk in the Pasalimani/Mikrolimano area and look at many amazing yachts and ships.
Another major option is to take the Metro to various parts of Athens (see map of routes on main Athens page). Cost is very modest, and service is very frequent.
There isn't much to buy in Piraeus. Wait until you get to your destination to begin purchasing souvenirs. However, there are many shops and cafes along the harbor front, especially toward the cruise terminal from and near the Metro station.
Delfino Restaurant [9]60, Akti Koumoundourou, Mikrolimano, Piraeus, tel. +302104120388. Located in Mikrolimano, a cosy bay with hundreds of sailing boats. Excellent seafood restaurant - try the fresh fish on the grill and fresh lobster with linguini. Warm and profesional service. Amazing the indoor and outdoor areas. For mid/high budgets.
Good cafes are very scarce in the port.
Stay Safe
Piraeus is a rather chaotic place with traffic that's horrendous even for Greece. Particular caution should be used when crossing the street, or when walking along the pavement by the ferry quays where cars, taxis, and trucks often drive randomly among the crowds of travelers walking to and from the boats.
Piraeus is a huge port filled with sailors, and parts of it are about as tough as you'd expect such a place to be. The areas right by the ferry quays are safe enough, but avoid wandering around the rest of Piraeus, especially at night, unless you know your way around.
Unlicensed taxi drivers often meet arriving ferries. Unlike in some countries, these taxis have a bad reputation and should not be considered as a cheap alternative to licensed cabs.
Pickpocketing gangs have been reported working on the Piraeus-Airport bus; for a full description see the Athens Stay Safe section.
One scam you may encounter in Piraeus is a rather subtle one. A man will walk up to you while you are waiting with your luggage in line to board a ferry. This gentleman is a consummate actor: though he doesn't actually claim to be working for the boat or port, his demeanor and behavior imply strongly that he is. He'll pick up your luggage, brushing aside any objections, and usher you with it to the head of the line, at which point he'll demand a hefty tip. In one reported case the bite was €7.00 (our respondent decided the performance was worth €2.00)

WINFIELD TWP — More than 10 fire departments needed about four hours to extinguish a fire that consumed a farm equipment building on Jones Road on Friday evening.
No injuries were reported as a result of the fire, which broke out at 239 Jones Road, near the Butler-Freeport Trail head, about 6:30 p.m. Neighbors said the property is owned by Richard Olesnevich.
Chris Ballina, chief of the Saxonburg Volunteer Fire Company, said the building, which contained equipment, but no animals, was a total loss.
Fire Departments from Lyndora, South Butler, Herman, Saxonburg, Worthington, Sarver and South Buffalo, Winfield, Buffalo and Middlesex townships all responded the blaze. Fire departments from East Butler and Lick Hill were on standby.

Dirt bike noise irritates neighbors in Mystic
Mystic - Residents of a Mystic neighborhood are urging police and town officials to stop a teenager from incessantly riding his dirt bike around his grandparents' 2-acre property on Richmond Lane, saying the noise is making their lives miserable.
On Thursday, a few of the residents appeared before the Stonington Board of Police Commissioners, urging members to either charge the boy and his family with a crime such as breach of peace or enact some type of ordinance to keep him from riding. One neighbor, Aaron Green, presented the board with a petition signed by 32 residents from nine surrounding streets, asking the town to address the problem.
Green said that despite complaints to police, visits by officers and a request to the parents of the teen and others who ride there, the noise has persisted. He said part of the teen's track goes right along the border of his property at 18 Richmond Lane.
The 2-acre dirt bike property is located at 12 and 16 Richmond Lane and is owned by Donald and Eleanor Weber and their daughter, Karen Fusaro.
"It's extremely loud, rude and disrespectful. My kids can't do their homework even with the windows closed," said Green.
Charlene Fowles, who lives across the street from the property, told the board said the riding can go on for as long as seven hours on weekends.
"The noise is unbearable. It's louder than a chain saw," she said. "The police come out and talk to them, but it doesn't do anything. It has to come to a stop. We can't face another summer with this noise."
Police Capt. Jerry Desmond told the residents that he sympathizes with their problem.
But he said the activity does not appear to fall under such crimes as breach of peace, disorderly conduct or creating a public disturbance as the boy's intent may not be to cause a disturbance. State law, for example, says a person can be cited for an infraction of creating a public disturbance when a person "with intent to cause inconvenience, annoyance or alarm ... makes unreasonable noise."
"It may not apply as easily as you think," Desmond said, referring to the boy's intent.
Desmond said the police department is also looking to borrow a noise meter to measure how loud the dirt bike is.
First Selectman Ed Haberek said he has talked to Town Attorney Thomas Londregan about the problem and the town is also looking at a New London ordinance that could be useful.
He said the town may also be able to cite the owners of the property with a zoning violation.
The town does have a nuisance ordinance that makes it unlawful for any person to create unreasonably loud or disturbing noise that is objectionable when heard within the confines of a home. But it only applies to noise made before 6 a.m. and after 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and before 8 a.m. and after 10 p.m. on Sunday.
The board plans to get an update on the problem at its May 9 meeting.
On Sunday afternoon, the teen was seen racing the red dirt bike at high speed around the perimeter of the property, through stands of trees and doing wheelies across the large lawn.
"They're trying to ban motorcycles from this neighborhood," said Eleanor Weber, who was unaware of her neighbor's appearance before the board. She said her grandson, now 15, has been riding since he was 3 and is limited to a half hour a day. She said there are other motorcycles in the neighborhood.
"This guy next door has been nothing but trouble," she said about Green. "The minute (my grandson) starts it up they call the police.
She pointed out the dirt bike is street legal, which means it has been modified so it creates less noise and meets other requirements to ride on the road.
