FRITZ!Box 3370 Service - Knowledge Base
AVM Content
Using a Wii U console in the FRITZ!Box home network
You can easily connect your Wii U console to your FRITZ!Box over wireless LAN (WiFi). The Wii U can then access the internet and Nintendo's online services.
Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
1 Preparations
Enabling the FRITZ!Box's DHCP server
In the factory settings, the FRITZ!Box automatically assigns the correct IP settings to all devices via DHCP. If you disabled the FRITZ!Box's DHCP server, re-enable it:
- Click "Home Network" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Home Network Overview" in the "Home Network" menu.
- Click on the "Network Settings" tab.
- Click the "IPv4 Addresses" button. If the button is not displayed, enable the Advanced View.
- Enable the DHCP server and define the range from which the FRITZ!Box assigns IP addresses.
Note:The FRITZ!Box has the IP address 192.168.178.1 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0) and assigns IP addresses from xxx.20 to xxx.200 in the factory settings.
- Click "OK" to save the settings.
Adjusting the wireless channel settings
Wii U only supports wireless connections in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. If you enabled the 5 GHz frequency band in the FRITZ!Box, select a wireless standard in the FRITZ!Box that uses the 2.4 GHz frequency band:
- Click "Wireless" ("WLAN") in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Radio Channel" in the "Wireless" ("WLAN") menu.
- Enable the option "Adjust radio channel settings".
- Select the standard "802.11n+g+b" from the "Wireless standard" drop-down list.
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
- Reestablish the wireless connection to the FRITZ!Box.
Preparing the FRITZ!Box for WPS
The FRITZ!Box is already prepared for WPS in the factory settings. If you changed the FRITZ!Box's wireless settings, configure the following settings:
- Click "Wireless" ("WLAN") in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Security" in the "Wireless" ("WLAN") menu.
- Click on the "WPS Quick Connection" tab.
- Enable WPS.
- Select "Push-Button method (WPS-PBC, Push Button Configuration)" and click "Start WPS".
2 Connecting the Wii U to the FRITZ!Box
- Tap the "System Settings" button in the main menu of the Wii U GamePad.
- Tap "Internet" in the "System Settings" menu.
- Tap "Connect to the internet".
- Tap "Connection Types" in the upper left corner.
- Tap "Wi-Fi Protected SETUP".
- Tap "Push-Button Configuration".
- Push and hold down the "WLAN" button on the FRITZ!Box for about 6 seconds until its "WLAN" LED flashes.
- Now the wireless connection is configured and then established.
- Tap "OK" to save the connection settings.
- Tap "Set" to set the wireless connection as the default connection.
Now the Wii U is connected to the internet via the FRITZ!Box. You can play online games or use other functions offered by Nintendo's online services.
Note:Further information on how to set up the Wii U can be obtained from Nintendo, for example refer to the manual.
3 Setting up port sharing for online games
By default, the FRITZ!Box's firewall protects all of the devices in the home network from incoming connections and unwanted data from the internet. To use a few online games (for example Call of Duty), other users from the internet must be able to access your Wii U.
If you are having problems with participating in online games, adjust the FRITZ!Box's settings:
Important:To be completely accessible from the internet, the FRITZ!Box requires a public IPv4 address.
Setting up automatic port sharing
Set up the FRITZ!Box for automatic port sharing so that the Wii U itself can open all of the ports in the FRITZ!Box that it requires:
- Click "Home Network" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Home Network Overview" in the "Home Network" menu.
- Click on the "Network Settings" tab.
- Enable the option "Transmit status information over UPnP". If the option is not displayed, enable the Advanced View.
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
- Click "Internet" and then "Permit Access".
- Click on the "Port Sharing" or "Port Forwarding" tab.
- Enable the option "All devices in the home network are allowed to change their own port forwarding settings".
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
Setting up static port sharing
If you still cannot connect to online games or the connection drops, configure the required port sharings manually:
- Set up static port sharing in the FRITZ!Box for the ports and IP protocols used by the online game.
Note:With just a few clicks in the internet you can find lists of ports used by online games, for example at www.portforward.com.

How to balance multiple tasks and conflicting stakeholder interestsBislev, Sven; Ravn, Jakob; Nilsson, Ole Stenvinkel (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Program management includes a multitude of decisions on numerous parameters: course content, modes of delivery, management of professional and academic standards, admission, grading, finance, and marketing. At the same time, program management is seen as an organisational response to demands from multiple stakeholders with conflicting interests. How does the process assure salient stakeholders influence on program management decisions? Five groups of stakeholders are considered: Faculty/academics, students, industry/employers, the Institution (senior management), and society at large. Different HEIs have chosen different solutions to program management. In this paper we (1) sketch a conceptual framework for an analysis of HE program management and (2) describe the framework for study program management at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) in Denmark, reflecting on the benefits and shortcomings of this particular organisational model. The discussion serves as a point of departure for developing a holistic model that both addresses multiple tasks and legitimate stakeholder interests. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8470

Kent State University Awarded Two Grants from U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Kent State University has been awarded two grants from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. One grant, for research on physical activity levels and obesity, totaled $384,192, and the second grant, for stress-induced noradrenergic modulation of neuroinflammation research, totaled $441,600. The grants were part of the Department of Health and Human Services' Academic Research Enhancement Awards.
Colleen Novak, assistant professor with the Department of Biological Sciences, says the obesity research grant is being used to investigate the brains of obesity-resistant rats to find out what makes those rats more physically active and have higher activity-related energy expenditure. Novak says the cells in the brain that make and respond to peptides, called melanocortins, are being examined as part of the study.
Novak says the grant emphasizes undergraduate research training and meritorious research projects.
"Since one of the goals of the grant is to enhance undergraduate research training, the funds will be used to financially support a laboratory coordinator and an undergraduate researcher," says Novak. "Given how difficult the science funding environment is now, I feel very fortunate to receive this grant."
John Johnson, associate professor with the Department of Biological Sciences, says the overall goal of the stress-induced noradrenergic dysregulation of neuroinflammation research grant is to know how repeated exposure to psychological stressors leads to increased inflammatory responses in the brain. These responses are associated with poor health consequences, such as cognitive decline, neurodegenerative disorders and depression.
Funds from the grant will support the research and one graduate student. The grant also will provide employment for two or three Kent State undergraduate or local area high school students to work directly with Johnson.
"The purpose of the Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) program is to stimulate research in educational institutions that provide baccalaureate or advanced degrees for a significant number of the nation's research scientists, but that have not been major recipients of National Institutes of Health (NIH) support, " says Johnson. " AREA grants create opportunities for scientists and institutions, otherwise unlikely to participate extensively in NIH research programs, to contribute to the nation's biomedical and behavioral research effort."

- Using This Booklet
- How Is Today Different From Earlier in the Epidemic?
- What Is Important to Think About First?
Using This Booklet
The main focus of this booklet is to let you know that you can live well with HIV. It may take some time for that message to sink in, because adjusting to this new life may be an emotional road on top of it being a medical one.
This booklet has been written to answer questions that many people have after testing positive. You don't have to figure all of this out at once. Read it at your own pace and revisit it from time to time as you feel ready for more. You're not alone, and with resources and effort you can live a long and healthful life with HIV.
|Helpful Resources
How Is Today Different From Earlier in the Epidemic?
Living with HIV today is very different from what it was like in the 80s or 90s. You may have some real fears about living with HIV or even starting medicines. These fears are normal but some of them may be influenced by outdated information or by stories of what it was like living with HIV in the early years.
At that time, many people got sick well before they even knew they had HIV. They often didn't even get diagnosed with HIV until they went to emergency rooms to be treated for illnesses like pneumonia. But this doesn't happen nearly as often as before.
HIV is now considered a chronic disease, like diabetes or heart disease. This means it's something to be aware of and attend to each day of your life, but something that can be lived with relatively well.
Today, we know a great deal about HIV. Medicines have dramatically improved and extended people's lives, and today's drugs are safer and easier to take and tolerate. Plus, there are other steps you can take to prolong your life and maintain your health.
|Main Points to Remember
What Is Important to Think About First?
You've already done a lot by learning your status and beginning to adjust to living with HIV. You will hopefully have time to get used to your diagnosis, learn about HIV and get your "ducks in a row".
This includes finding a doctor who understands HIV, deciding when to start treatment, and finding local resources to help you make the most of your well-being. Finding others who live with HIV, as well as contacting case managers or social workers, can go a long way to support you in living well.

Sled Springs OHV Trail System
Warrpath 4X4, Grumpy, Dustdriver (other PNW members living in far eastern Oregon) I was wondering what you all know about the Sled Springs OHV Trails System. Per the final Decision Notice it sounded like an ok decision (except for all the closures) it would have netted Class II users a trail system of about 80 miles on old roads. However the decision is being appealed by the greenies. Are any of you involved with the Forest Service in the Wallowa Valley Ranger District particularly the District Ranger Ken Gebhardt. This Final Decision is a great start but I need help in formatting a letter to the District Ranger. If someone knows this area at all please post up so as at least we can send a letter in support of OHV's. In many cases without public support the Ranger will just give in to the greenies. The fact a lawsuit has been filed apparently says loudly; the Ranger is not caving easily. It is our hope a letter of support to Ken Gebhard will aid in his decision not to cave to the greenies strong arm tactics. The e-mail site address is verrrrry long but the easy way to get on site to view the decision is to search for Sled Springs OHV and then click onto Planning and decision of Sled Springs OHV area. I hope one of you can help either by writing, calling or stopping by Ken Gebhardt office in order for information in order to support him. Randy

We are new customers of Supreme Energy and former customers of Tullo Oil. I have to admit, I was shocked and sad when hearing that Tullo had been sold, but I have been so impressed with Supreme Energy! Our first instance was when the heat would not go on the night before Thanksgiving. We had a house full of relatives coming over the next day and there was a lot on my mind. We called Supreme and a service tech showed up within an hour and reconnected a loose wire. The second instance was when I called on December 26 and spoke to Zoraida. Even though it was a holiday, she was happy to help me with my problems. We had a lovely conversation, she resolved my issue and she asked if there was anything else she could help me with. This was great! Customer service with a smile! What a concept. The third time was March 14, the day of our winter snow/ice/sleet storm. The company actually called to see if all was okay. This was amazing to me! I can't believe the company reached out like that. Thank you for making the transition seamless and pleasant. We look forward to being long-time loyal customers. I appreciate and respect your values. I cannot say this about most companies we deal with these days. It is how I grew up and how things should be. Keep up the good work! It truly is a pleasure doing business with you.Jersey City, NJ
I had my central AC tune-up scheduled. I received a call to let me know the technician was on the way. The tech actually arrived on time!!

I wanted to acknowledge the five star work that Leo performed on my furnace on May 16.

Thank you Mike, the salesperson, and the service technicians who put in a boiler at my house. The Plumbing inspector from the borough examined it and said the quality of work was exceptional.

When I was without heat, I would have to wait until the next morning for service. Thank you Supreme for being there for me and my family!Judith - Ridgefield, NJ
I am so delighted with Supreme's installation of my oil tank. Rob figured out a clever way of getting around the narrow access to my basement, your sales support team got my permits through quickly, and Leo C. and Jamel did a wonderful job on the installation--taking pains to locate the tank exactly where it need to be by code and still look good even though it's just a basement. They cleaned everything impeccably before they left. And I think they are the first and only workmen I've had in my house who remembered to turn off the lights. Thanks for everything, Supreme.Rose - Denville
It's the end of the season and I just wanted to tell you that I've been very pleased with your service this year--just like all the other years I've been with you.John - Jersey City
Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how happy I am with the boiler installation. Rob and the two Leos are the best team of guys who have ever worked at my house. Professional, knowledgeable and patient with my never ending stream of questions, they did a great job. I especially want to single out big Leo who came by today to troubleshoot a leaking water issue and a thermostat issue and resolved them both. He truly impressed me with his knowledge and varied skillset. I've been a customer for 25 years and one of the reasons I remain a loyal customer is the service I've been provided by your entire team and especially these three gentlemen. Great work guys!!!East Hanover, NJ
Your technician did a wonderful job. He cleaned my unit so well and was so clean, and cleaned up after himself.Maria, - West New York
I wanted to tell you that Leo that installed the hot water heated did a beautiful job--a nice, neat job--and he's also a gentleman. Some people complain about something, but I wanted you to know that I'm very, very satisfied.
Robert, Bayonne
I want the owner and the tech manager to know what a great job your tech did. He was very clean and very pleasant. He took his time and did not rush.Salvatore - Bloomfield
I want to let you know that your service people are excellent and wonderful! Abel Guzman, who has been to my property before, came this morning and adjusted the water flow on my boiler - which was installed by Supreme, of course! I've been a Mitchell Supreme/Supreme Energy customer for 35 years. I just want to say again that Abel is just wonderful and I'm glad that he's a part of the Supreme Energy team. Thank you so much!Liz - Springfield, NJ
We have worked with Supreme Energy for years. They are excellent. They know what they're doing. They are thorough, responsive, meticulous and very lovely people. I wouldn't use anyone else. I highly recommend them to all my friends and family.Chatham, NJ
Your technicians, especially Miguel are great and I've never had a problem. I also want to recognize your technician Leo for being very honest and explaining everything that needs to get done. Brad is also very good at explaining things. The customer service staff are always very friendly and helpful. You have a wonderful team of workers and the President of the company, Ms. Fineman is doing a great job running the company. I have recommended your company many times and will continue to do so.Morris Plains, NJ
I've always had a positive experience. Waits have rarely been long. The service technician Miguel has always been very prompt, polite and professional. He gets right to work and always explains what he did in the regular maintenance. He was done within two hours from first arrival to leaving the house.Montclair, NJ
On September 25 your service technician Jose arrived at my house to perform an annual boiler maintenance procedure and assess the system's efficiency. This individual was obviously familiar with the entire task at hand. He moved carefully and quickly. He was clean and orderly. His tools were at hand and he worked with full knowledge of the job at hand. In addition, I watched him and asked questions simply out of curiosity. He answered said questions and was very courteous. Jose is a diligent employee, a very nice guy and an asset to the company.Paterson, NJ

Front Porch, thank you.
In your experience do they release the most or least desirable units first? or is it a mix?
When a developer sells a building, they don't release all the apartments at once. They are trying to balance different objectives: bringing cash in to hand it over to the bank, limiting supply so the building will seem "hot," and testing their pricing estimates to see if they can raise prices on the next round of apartments.
Sometimes, as part of this process, they will throw around a number: "the building is 40% sold," or "the building is 80% sold."
There are two ways in which this number is not as informative as it could be. The first is that we are starting to see buildings pre-selling before they open. Then the developer has a party, and announces the next day "the building is xx% sold."
Wow, the potential buyer thinks, that must have been some building to sell well in three hours! (Or, those must have been some great drinks served at the party!) But actually, brokers had been working away for weeks or even months before, lining up those deals and getting them signed. We are increasingly seeing this happen in Chelsea. Don't be fooled by an "instant" sellout.
Secondly, sometimes developers calculate "xx% sold" of what has been released. So if a building has one hundred units, releases thirty and sells fifteen, a buyer would think the building is 15% sold, but in developer-speak, it might be "50% sold."
One of these buildings might still be the right building for you, just be aware of the glamour lighting and the hairspray on the camera lens.

Front Porch, thank you.
In your experience do they release the most or least desirable units first? or is it a mix?
It can be a mix . . .
The most prime units will go to "friends and family" and the public will never see them. But whether the next good units, such as the penthouses, come out early or late depends. Some developers save the penthouses for last, so that the building has gone through all of its price increases and seems prime, and then they sell those last units and take their profit.
The thing is, though, which units are best isn't going to be a secret if you can see all the floorplans -- you can generally pick out a line that you like and then try to buy it on as high a floor as possible.
As Ilyce Glink, the personal finance writer, has said, "stretch to buy the best view you can afford."

I have always found the release process really interesting. I guess its a real art as you want thing to move early so its important to make units available but you also want to be able to amend and raise prices on some good units.
Hey - I have been told that many developers make back their entire cost on the penthouse alone? Once they sell the penthouse everything else they sell is profit. I guess that is a pretty general statement and probably only applies to smaller developments.
It has become increasingly popular for the sales offices of new condos to put out a map of the local area with their sales brochures. These maps are meant to be reassuring -- look, you're not moving to the hinterlands, here's a bank right here.
If you are indeed serious about moving into a neighborhood, you might want to actually take a second or two to look at this map -- make sure everything you would want is on it -- a hardware store? a clothing boutique?
If these types of retail are not marked, just ask. The point is to not be fooled into thinking there are more neighborhood services than there are just because you get a four-color map with a lot of dots on it.

Knowing what I know now about buying new construction I really don't know if I would do it all over again. I bought a new place close to two years ago and I still have not moved in yet.
My advice to prospective new development buyers is to be ready for anything. Everybody tells you to expect delays..but seriously...EXPECT DELAYS...you will not get in any where close to when you think you will.
And if you expect to have your own architect/designer to do some changes make sure you put it in the contract you will be able to get in to the apt early and get full cooperation regarding plans etc. My developer was less than helpful in that department.
Expect changes in the final product. When they say square footage is approximate believe them...that's really just a euphemism for "subtract at least 300 sqft, because we are totally lying to you to get you to buy."
Things change...a lot.
Getting in early allowed me to get a crazy good deal on the place...I couldn't find nearly the same amount of sqft for the $$$ or finishes I got...but the frustration and disappointment that came from the process is daunting. Hopefully, the end result will make the wait and angst worth it...I won't know that till later...
Your guess is as good as mine as to when.
i am really nervous now. we signed a contract on a new development about two months ago. 300 sq feet on an 875 sq foot apt is HUGE. i know the contract states that its approximate, but arent they liable for anything? in the end can you fight it if the sq footage is off by that much?
My place was supposed to be 1700 and now it's closer to 1400...
I doubt your place will be reduced that much...but there is a chance it will be smaller than they quoted you. Also, a lot of times they include the outside walls in their estimates of sq ft...as well as closets, terraces, and interior walls.
The reduction in sq ft in my place is not super noticeable because it's not all from one place. It's sort of like the whole apartment melted. It's frustrating nonetheless.
There is also usually a way out of your contract with a good lawyer.
I 100% agree.
I went with a first time developer who was trying to make a splash with his first building. The finishes are amazing...and the price per sqft even in with the shrunken plan is still heads and tails better than I could have gotten any where else comparable, but I paid for the risk of a 1st timer.
I just think you have to manage your expectations...
What is the process for the inspection? Is it usual / advisable for the buyer to hire a professional inspector?
This discussion has been had on the Link thread, so you might want to take a minute to check it out.
Typically, buyers do not hire a pro to do apartment walkthroughs -- while a condo purchaser has a stake in the shape of the apartments' boiler, roof, etc., it's not the same as buying a fifty-year-old house.
I have a list of things to look for in a walk-through on my website, and buyers have generally found it helpful, so click below.
This is the link:
Also, you want to look up to make sure your ceilings aren't buckled and you don't see any water damage stains.
Good luck!

As for doing your research on the developer, are there any particular tricks or hints to dig up past complaints? I'm currently looking at a unit in the Chelsea Stratus, and the developer is LCOR. It seems they've done some residential high rises in Washington DC, and they're currently doing another project called the Charleston. Anyone know anything about them?
I'm looking to buy for the first time also, and this thread really helps. Thanks.

I bought into a new const building and it's been over 6-7 months late and who knows when it'll be done. That's the most frustrating thing about it - say you buy a year ahead of the planned completion date and than it's another 6 months late - life can change quite a bit in that timeframe. While you do get a discount (presumably) in a new construction you ARE taking many risks as well. I did not appreciate that as much as I should have at the time.
As per the size, a plan clearly should explain how the measurements are done, ie. include outside and inside walls, pipes, sometime hallways, etc and the apt end up being much smaller.
That's part of why, as a buyer, you should work with a decent realtor. It's funny to me how many buyers want to bypass neighborhood real estate agents (generally because the profession has a bad reputation) to go straight to the marketing department of the developer (a profession not known for being full of theologians).
However, if you want to do some research yourself to supplement what your agent is doing, I'd suggest doing some reading in The Real Deal. They're a real estate trade magazine that writes about the developer and brokerage communities (and, full disclosure, in my publishing life they are my buds and I'm on this week's webcast shilling my book).
They seem to have written some articles on LCOR.

LOS ANGELES — Coast Guard officials intercepted a boat carrying more than 3.3 tons of marijuana off the coast of Southern California.
Cmdr. Daniel Pickles says the smugglers" vessel was discovered during routine patrol, and suspects began tossing bales of pot overboard as the boat sped south on Sunday.
More than 245 bales of pot were recovered before the boat was stopped more than 100 miles west of Santa Catalina Island.
Pickles says the drugs are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and his crews are disrupting a persistent drug trade through vigilant patrol of American waters.

AJ Allmendinger's comeback to open-wheel racing stalled briefly on pit road.
Allmendinger left his IndyCar Series debut at Barber Motorsports Park considerably more bothered by his performance than team owner Roger Penske. He ran seventh much of the way in Sunday's Indy Grand Prix of Alabama, but finished 19th after his Team Penske Chevrolet stalled on the final pit stop.
Allmendinger spent several minutes sitting on the pit road wall discussing his race with team members, and Penske Racing teammate Will Power joined in briefly, too. Then it was time to go back to work and continue a challenging transition.
"That's all you can do," Allmendinger said. "I've got to be a lot better than that; 19th isn't going to cut it, whether this is my first time or not. Without the stall, we probably should have been about 10th or 11th, which is OK, but we still want to be better than that."
Penske encouraged with the driver he gave a second chance after firing him last summer when Allmendinger failed a random NASCAR drug test
"Finish this and just learn, learn, learn. You are doing fine," Penske radioed Allmendinger late in the race.
Allmendinger initially signed to race at Barber and the Indianapolis 500. On Saturday, Penske Racing said it would pay his way to Long Beach.
Penske said before the race that Allmendinger will drive for James Finch's Phoenix Racing at the NASCAR race in Richmond and might also get another IndyCar race in Detroit.
Allmendinger started 10th in his first open-wheel race since moving full-time to NASCAR after the 2006 Champ Car season.
The stall wasn't the only issue. Race strategy might have backfired, too.
"I knew we were in a little bit of trouble because we tested the red tires in warm-up. A lot of the guys didn't, so they had three sets of reds," Allmendinger said. "It's just trying to learn how to be better. I'd like to have stayed out longer and tried to wait it out and then went like hell on the red tires when I had open track. But we pitted early. The black tires just weren't as fast no matter what you did. After that, we're just running 10th or 11th, which was going to be OK.
"I just want to be better for them. I felt like the weekend was pretty solid overall, but 19th isn't very good. We can learn from it and be better. I want to be better than that."
The hard part is being patient and taking Penske's advice to just learn.
"It's all about trying to get better," Allmendinger said. "It's just frustrating. I want to be great right away, whether it's realistic or not."

Birth of Stars and Planets lecture on October 4University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Karen Rehbock, (808) 956-6829
Instittute for Astronomy
HONOLULU - The next Frontiers of Astronomy Community Lecture will feature UH Institute for Astronomy astronomer Jonathan Williams speaking on "The Birth of Stars and Planets" on Thursday, October 4 at 7 p.m. in the Institute for Astronomy (IfA) Manoa Auditorium.
Dr. Williams will address the question, "How did our Sun and solar system form?" To answer this question, astronomers study young stars that are in the process of forming new planetary systems, and cosmochemists study meteorites, fragments of asteroids found on Earth's surface that record conditions in the early solar system. Reconciling the two lines of evidence points to an unusual origin for our solar system, and suggests that Earth-like planets with both land and oceans may be rare.
Jonathan Williams specializes in using radio telescopes operating at millimeter wavelengths to study star and planet formation. He received his BA from the University of Cambridge in 1988 and his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1995, and joined the UH Institute for Astronomy faculty in 2002. In addition to doing research and teaching, he directs the IfA's Research Experiences for Undergraduates program funded by the National Science Foundation.
Admission and parking will be free. For directions to the IfA, see http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/open-house/map.htm.
The poster (pdf) for this event is available at http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/specialevents/frontiersOct4.07_letter.pdf.
Founded in 1967, the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii at Manoa conducts research into galaxies, cosmology, stars, planets, and the sun. Its faculty and staff are also involved in astronomy education, deep space missions, and in the development and management of the observatories on Haleakala and Mauna Kea.

Anyone can tell you if a trailer "looks good" or not. But Drew Magary, who spent over a decade working in advertising, is here to tell you whether or not a trailer WORKS. This week's trailer? "Beyond The Black Rainbow".
Panos Cosmatos is the son of late director George Cosmatos, the man who directed "Tombstone". Given that "Tombstone" is the greatest movie in the history of everything ever (if you disagree you are wrong), I think we at PopcornBiz owe it to ourselves to see if Panos inherited his father's gift for wringing maximum badassery out of any given movie. His first effort is the indie "Beyond the Black Rainbow," a sci-fi mindtrip that is described on the Apple trailers website as a "Reagan-era fever dream," which sounds like something you'd watch at a CPAC convention, but is probably much more fun in practice. Let's watch the trailer for Cosmatos' opus and answer a few questions.
Does the trailer let us know what the movie is about? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. No. No. No no no. Not at all. If anything, I'm more confused now that I've seen it. There was a glowing pyramid, and a dude in a Tron outfit, and some creepy doctor guy wearing a tweed jacket with a lousy haircut. About the only thing I took away from this trailer is that Panos Cosmatos really, really, really likes Kubrick movies. I mean, it's dead obvious.
What's with the tongue drops? I don't know.
Why did the doctor dude have three eyes for a second? I don't know.
Why do they keep that girl locked in a white room? I don't know.
Why is the doctor dude sinking into a pit of black tar? I don't know.
What is "energy sculpting"? I don't know.
Why is there a long shot of someone driving in a tunnel? I don't know.
So this is some kind of 80's dystopian thing? I don't know.
Are we sure this is an actual movie, and not a Nine Inch Nails video? I don't know.
When the MPAA Rating card shows up before this trailer, it says the film contains a "graphic sexual illustration." Do we see it in the trailer? I don't know. I think so?
Does this trailer work? No. This is not "Tombstone."
Trailer Park: Beyond The Black Rainbow!

|Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lu Kang's Regular Press Conference on May 14, 2018
At the invitation of the government of the United States, President Xi Jinping's Special Envoy, Member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Vice Premier of the State Council and Chinese Initiator of the China-US Comprehensive Economic Dialogue Liu He will pay a visit to the United States from May 15 to 19. Vice Premier Liu He will hold another round of consultations with the US economic team led by US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin on bilateral economic and trade issues.
Q: It is reported that a high-level DPRK official has arrived in Beijing today. Do you know who this high-level official is? What is the purpose of the visit? Is it to brief the Chinese side on their talks with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo?
A: China and the DPRK maintain normal exchanges. As for the reports you just mentioned about the arrival of a senior DPRK official, I am not aware of that situation.
Q: Yesterday, US President Donald Trump tweeted that he and President Xi Jinping are working together to give massive Chinese phone company, ZTE, a way to get back into business fast and that the US Commerce Department has been instructed to get it done. What is your response to this?
A: We highly appreciate these positive remarks on the ZTE issue, and we are currently in close communication with them on how exactly to implement it. As for the specific issues over which the US side has voiced its concerns, our two sides also maintain close communication. Like I said just now, at the invitation of the US government, Vice Premier Liu He will travel to the US from May 15 to 19 for more consultations with the US economic team on bilateral economic and trade issues. China is willing to work with the US to ensure positive and constructive outcomes from this upcoming round of trade talks.
Q: On May 12, clashes broke out between the Myanmar government forces and ethnic armed groups in the northern Shan State, close to the China-Myanmar border area. There were some casualties, and according to the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar, besides these casualties on the Myanmar side, the conflict also drove border residents and flew stray bullets into the Chinese side. China has lodged stern representations with the relevant parties in Myanmar. Can you give us more details and what is China's position on this?
A: China is highly concerned about the military conflict in northern Myanmar on May 12. According to our information, the conflict has killed two Chinese nationals in Myanmar, and three rocket grenades and some stray bullets have fallen into the Chinese territory. In addition, over 300 Myanmar citizens living in the border area have fled to China to escape the conflict. Out of humanitarian spirit, the Chinese side has taken necessary measures and provided sheltering to these people.
Recently, there have been continued and escalating military frictions in northern Myanmar, including this latest one which has caused severe casualties and undermined stability in the China-Myanmar border area. It runs counter to the efforts made by relevant parties in Myanmar to hold the third meeting of the Panglong Peace Conference and seek national reconciliation and peace as well as the consensus to safeguard peace and tranquility of the border area.
Just like what you said in your question, China has lodged stern representations with relevant parties in Myanmar. We ask all conflicting parties to immediately cease fire and take every possible measure to avoid an escalation of the situation, return peace and tranquility at an early date to the China-Myanmar border area, and never allow such incident which threatens peace and stability in the China-Myanmar border area to happen again.
The principle of promoting the peace process through dialogue and consultation with comprehensive and inclusive policies needs to be observed by all parties in Myanmar. It also represents the only viable way for Myanmar to realize reconciliation and peace. We urge relevant parties in Myanmar to abide by this principle, seek to work towards the same direction through dialogues, properly handle differences, build mutual trust, and endeavor to move forward the peace process.
Q: You said that you are not aware of the specifics regarding a senior DPRK official's visit. Can you confirm that one senior DPRK official has arrived in Beijing today?
A: Just like what I said in my previous answer, I am not aware of the situation.
Q: On May 12, the DPRK Foreign Ministry announced that the DPRK side would dismantle its Punggye-ri nuclear test ground between May 23 and 25 in light of weather conditions and would allow journalists from China, Russia, the US, the UK and the ROK to witness the closure of the site. Do you have any comments?
A: This announcement by the DPRK Foreign Ministry has caught the attention of the international community. We believe that this announcement, which is conducive to the political settlement of the Peninsula issue, demonstrates the DPRK's goodwill in promoting a denuclearized Peninsula and establishing mutual trust with relevant parties. It should be welcomed, encouraged and supported by the international community.
Q: According to reports, on May 13, suicide terrorist attacks hit three churches in Surabaya, which is located in the province of East Java of Indonesia, killing at least 13 people and injuring 43 others. On May 14, the police station of Surabaya was also struck by suicide bombings. What is your comment?
A: China strongly condemns these terrorist attacks in Surabaya, Indonesia. We mourn for the innocent victims and express condolences to the injured and the bereaved families.
China is opposed to all forms of terrorism. We stand ready to step up cooperation with the Indonesian side and other members of the international community to jointly counter terrorist threats and challenges and uphold peace and tranquility of the region and the world.
Q: China's Three Gorges Corporation is offering 9.1 billion euros to buy remaining stocks in the Portuguese utility firm EDP. Do you expect a pushback from European regulators on this purchase? Are you concerned about any possible pushback?
A: I also learnt about this case from the media reports. We are not aware of the details and would refer you to the relevant department.
China and Portugal enjoy friendly ties. The two countries have achieved fruitful outcomes in all-around practical cooperation. Such cooperation, which is two-way and mutually beneficial, has brought tangible benefits to the two countries and the two peoples. The Chinese government supports and encourages Chinese companies in carrying out mutually beneficial cooperation with the Portuguese companies and hopes that the two sides could work together to achieve win-win results on a larger scale.
When the cooperation undertaken by the two sides is based on mutual respect, mutual benefit and win-win outcomes and delivers concrete benefits to the two sides, I see no reason why other parties would object to that.
Q: Is there any update on the health of the Chinese national who was injured in the Paris knife attack over the weekend?
A: According to the latest information, this Chinese citizen sustained minor injuries and is not in a life-threatening condition. Since you mentioned this incident, I want to talk about China's position on it. China condemns this attack in Paris, France. We mourn for the innocent victims and express sincere condolences to the injured and the bereaved families. Since you mentioned about the Chinese citizen injured in this attack, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the French government for the assistance it offered to our people.
China is firmly opposed to all forms of terrorism. We stand ready to work with France and the rest of the international community to enhance counter-terrorism cooperation.
Q: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in an interview on May 13 that if the DPRK takes necessary steps to ensure that the US is no longer held at risk by its nuclear weapons arsenal, then the US will ensure that the DPRK people have the opportunity for greatness. When asked whether the DPRK Supreme Leader could stay on in power, Secretary of State Pompeo said that the US will have to provide security assurances to be sure. Do you have any comments?
A: We have noted these remarks made by Secretary of State Pompeo on giving the DPRK security guarantees, and we think of them positively. China maintains that all parties shall engage in dialogue to move forward the political settlement of the Korean Peninsula issue and address their legitimate concerns in a balanced way. In particular, the legitimate security concerns of the DPRK side need to be addressed for while pushing forward the Peninsula denuclearization. That is conducive to the collective efforts to forge enduring peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in the region.
I believe all of you have noticed the encouraging development that under the concerted efforts of all relevant parties, the momentum for dialogue and détente has been further consolidated, and more steps are being made towards the political settlement of the Korean Peninsula issue. China encourages all relevant parties to work towards the same direction, say more words to show goodwill and alleviate tension, and do more things to promote dialogue and enhance mutual trust.
Due to scheduling reasons, tomorrow's regular press conference (Tuesday, May 15) will start at 2 p.m. at the same venue.

hives in location can vary a lot, I can put 400 on a location but would have to feed all the time, to get honey certain location can't handle more than 5-10 hives, I have some yards with 20 hives and some with just 7 hives, some location just can't support extra hives, not enough to forage on. since it can be like this here I put about 10 on a new location and keep checking to see how much they have coming in, if a lot then I can put a few more but if not much then I take a few from that location, I just try to keep enough hive at a location to maximize the flows. to many hives in a single location can eat up all the honey so its best to not over load a area unless you know it can handle it.

It was a bad weekend for mysterious celebrity crashes in Southern California. A day after Lindsay Lohan plowed a rented Porsche into the back of an 18-wheeler, Commerce John Bryson rear-ended two other vehicles while driving his Lexus in Los Angeles County.
The jury isn't out on what caused Lohan's crash, but Bryson claims his was caused by a seizure.
Witnesses in the first vehicle said that Bryson talked with them, but drove away. He reportedly crashed into another car, and was later found unconscious in his vehicle a short time later. The Commerce Department's Public Affairs team has been adamant that he passed a preliminary alcohol screening, although blood alcohol content test results are still pending.
Bryson, who was in California to deliver a commencement address, was kept in an area hospital overnight for observation. According to a Commerce Department spokesperson, neither he nor the occupants of the vehicles he allegedly hit suffered more than minor injuries. He has since returned to Washington.
Bryson is now under investigation in the felony hit-and-run case, but unlike Lohan, he hasn't been accused of trying to bribe the other drivers.

One thing you can always count on is change—especially online. Realism's given way to flat design (at least this week), mobile devices are taking over as many users' preferred means of visiting the Interwebs… Aside from making some of these poor decisions, about the worst thing a site owner can do is stick with a design too long.
For two and a half years, this site was running with 8Bit's Standard Theme, and it's been the preferred template of choice for many who've been striving for simplicity online. So, when 8Bit closed up shop last summer, it motivated me to do something I knew I needed to do eventually: start looking at a new design.
After several months of looking around, trying out a few ideas quietly in the background, I launched the new blog design this weekend. Here are a few of the most significant changes:
1. A greater focus on content.
Over time, one of my frustrations with the previous look is content struggled to remain at the forefront. The header was too large (again, a sign of the times). The navigation was clunky. The sidebar was increasingly overwhelming.
With the new site, the navigation and the sidebar have been streamlined fairly significantly, and the header takes up a minimal amount of space (at least when you're reading on a desktop or laptop). The new look gives the most important feature the site—the content—the space it needs. This, I trust you'll agree, is a very good thing.
2. A truly responsive layout.
This is, by far, the most mobile friendly version of the site to-date, which is important considering roughly half of you are reading this on your tablet or phone. So, if you're reading this on your mobile device right now, I hope you're enjoying it!
3. A trustworthy vendor.
As much as I would have loved to do this, there was no way I'd have been able to afford to hire a developer to design this site from the ground up.1 While a developer may be out of reach, StudioPress is not.
StudioPress' Genesis Framework offers (nearly) all the tools a site owner could want, their suite of child themes2 are beautiful and functional.
Now, that being said, here are a few things I'm continuing to look at changing or adding in the future:
1. Advertising.
Advertising, at this point, has become a legitimate need for me. Currently, I keep a couple of ads in the sidebar, as well as one in the RSS feed. In the future, I'll be revisiting how advertising works, which may include sponsored content.
2. A better book review page and other custom tweaks.
While I couldn't afford a fully customized design, as finances allow, I'm hoping to add a few custom elements that will be beneficial to readers. One thing that's top of mind: improving the book review page's presentation a little nicer (although this probably isn't something I'll need a developer for, but you never know).
So that's all there is to it, for now at least. Your feedback on the new look is greatly encouraged, whether it's a compliment, an idea to improve functionality, a feature you want to see added, or to let me know something's broken. Looking forward to your thoughts!
- I make enough money from advertising and affiliate links to keep the site running and pay for improvements like this, in case you're curious. ↵
- To borrow their analogy, think of WordPress as a car's engine, the Genesis framework (primary theme) as the body, and the child theme—in this case Sixteen Nine Pro—as the paint job. ↵

But look how beautiful your cookies turned out as a result! I'm so glad you dared to dream the impossible.

Loved this post! I think it would be very hard to wait 48 hours after making the dough to cook them. The look divine!

THAT is my daughter's impossible dream! I keep mentioning we should make them and she says she'd wind up gobbling the cookie dough first! But they do look so good. (Long ago and far away I was the Housekeeper in Man of La Mancha... such memories you bring.)

I know some sweet treats which have absolutely to spend at least 24 hours in the fridge, so I can imagine the huge difference in these cookies too. They look particularly luscious!

I love your musical posts! And I agree with you about refrigerating the dough for 48 (even 24) hours - what normal person can resist? For most of us, the whole point of preparing food isn't the preparation - it's the eating! And the sooner we get on with it the better! Anyway, fun post - thanks.

Hello Beth, I haven't been here in a while and so glad I found these today! Not sure I can wait a whole 48 hours though, that's asking a lot :) They look absolutely worth it though.

First of all I love how you go to the theatre all the time. I don't do it that often but you inspire me. How great as well that you expose your kids to it.
As for the cookies I love everything about them. Full of great ingredients and flavor. I'm making these next time I make cookies. Thanks for sharing.

I saw this musical only once, when I was about 12, but it's always stayed with me. Do see it if you get a chance--but only if you think it will be a good production, because it could be disastrous if done badly. Enough theatre geeking--these cookies look lovely, soft in the middle and crispy around the edges.

Much as I love paella, I'm so glad you made these instead! I am adding these to my baking list...I'm hoping I can also have the willpower to refrigerate this dough for 3 hours!!!!

Yes, making these cookies would require extreme discipline! I'm guessing that something special happens to the dough (with the gluten, perhaps?)as it rests for 2 days---flavors meld too. I'll have to try this impossible dream!

Sometimes I find the way a project unfolds can be dictated by the materials used or the time available, but in this instance it was lack of materials that had me on the edge of my seat throughout. I had decided that my ever growing collection of crochet hooks really need some more permanent accommodation than their original packaging and so sorted through my wool stash for suitable colours to make my hook case. I had already decided on chevron and just happened to have a few part balls of yarn that I thought would be ideal, the only problem was that there really wasn't a huge amount left on any of the balls, and so from the outset I did wonder if there was going to be enough to finish, adding just a teensy bit of
fear anticipation to the whole endeavour.
I used 3 different colours in 8ply yarn and a size 4 crochet hook.
Chain 36
Row 1 Miss 2 chains and work 2 double crochets (DC) into the next chain.
*Work a DC into each of the next four chains
Miss 2 Chains and DC into the next chain. DC into the next 3 chains. Work 3 DC into the next chain. Repeat from * across the row ending with 2 DC into last chain. Work 2 turning chains
Row 2 Change colour, Work 2 DC into the last double crochet of the previous row.
*Work a DC into the next 4 doubles of the previous row.
Miss 2 doubles of the previous row and then work a DC into each of the next 4 doubles of the previous row.
Work 3DC into the next double of the previous row.
Repeat from * ending the row with 2DC into the last stitch of the previous row.
Subsequent rows Change colour and work as per row 2.
Repeat until there are 7 rows in total. End of Chevron.
Using main colour, *Single Crochet (SC) into first 3 stitches of previous row, then in the subsequent stitches of the previous row, work 1 x Half Double (HDC), 1 x DC, 2 x Triple Crochet (TC), 1 x DC, 1 x HD and 3 x SC. Repeat from * to the end of the row. This will produce a straight edge at the end of the chevron.
Rows 9 and 10
DC across entire row.
Row 11
This row forms the edge of the fold.
SC across the entire edge of previous row
Row 12 and 13
SC into the back loop only of each single crochet of the previous row.
Row 14-27
DC across entire row
Row 28 (at this point I was seriously worried about running out of wool, but in reality I think I would have preferred perhaps another 2-3 rows of DC, so feel free to add more rows prior to row 28)
This row forms the edge of the fold. SC across entire edge of previous row
Row 29 and 30
SC into the front loop only of each SC of the previous row
Rows 31 and 32 (at this point I was really struggling as my ball of wool was now just down to a string of wool, so adding a couple more rows here would be fine if you have ample yarn and added a couple of extra rows from row 28)
DC into each stitch of previous row.
To finish
SC around the edge of the project, not including the Chevron edge. Block for an even finish and SC on the inside of the case to form the hook holders. It was my original intention to have a button closure on the front, however my lack of remaining yarn left me with no room to place one. Instead I've used press studs which work really well to keep my beloved hooks enclosed.
Happy crocheting

It was a magical evening at the opening weekend of Disney and Cameron Macintosh's hit Broadway musical Mary Poppins.The audience was eagerly anticipating a night of supercalifragilisticexpialidocious entertainment and they enjoyed every number in the show.
The production stars Rachel Wallace as Mary Poppins and is joined by Nicholas Droand, an original Broadway company member, playing the pole of Bert. The show is set in London and tells the story of the Banks family and the magical nanny who sings and dances her way through many adventures with the Banks children.
Many theater goers are familiar with the Disney film production's story and songs. The show did however surprise the audience with a twist on the storyline and many new songs, "Practically Perfect", "Being Mrs. Banks", and "Precision and Order" did not disappoint! But it was the familiar favorites such as "Spoonful of Sugar", "Feed the Bird", and "Let's Go Fly a Kite" that had the audience smiling with delight!
The magnificent set and costume design made the production even more enchanting. Choreography by Matthew Boune and Stephan Mear only enhanced the viewing pleasure of the audience. Watching chimney sweeps and statues through iconic songs such as "Jolly Holiday" and "Chim Chim Cher-ee" added a level of expertise and skill that only added to the show's overall experience.
Blythe Wilson played the part of Winifred Banks and George Banks was played by Laird Mackintosh. Mackintosh has just rejoined the US National Tour from playing the part on Broadway. Camden Angelis and Annie Baltic both play the part of Jane Banks and Reese Sebastian Diaz and Dakota Ruiz alternate the role of Michael Banks.
Don't miss this magical Nanny's visit! She'll only stay until the Chicago wind changes!
The Chicago performance schedule for MARY POPPINS is as follows:

If the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts were running for president, the group's motto might be (a la Clinton), "It's the economy, stupid!" Its second tagline would be, "And it's not interest rates!"
As investors have run to REITs for yield, they've bolted when possible changes to interest rates made headlines earlier this year.
Economists at NAREIT, which is hosting REITWorld 2013 this week in San Francisco, say it would be good to break this cycle of behavior, since it's self-fulfilling.
REIT returns were up 9% in the first quarter, before the talk of an end to tapering spooked investors. They fell 3.4% in Q2 and 2.4% in Q3, though they beat the S&P 500 in September.
Tapering concerns helped push REITs down 13.5% from May 22 to June 26. During that time, large-cap stocks weakened only 3.3%.
"The market reacts," said Brad Case, head of research for the industry group, in an interview. "But usually with rising interest rates, that's a sign of economic strengthening. If the Fed tapers, it's because of this strengthening, which is good for REITs."
He and other economists with Washington-based NAREIT point to 12 of 16 periods since 1995 when interest rates rose, and REIT returns improved concurrently. "Four periods is really not so much [down] time," Case said. "And nine of these periods saw double-digit gains, which is the norm for the sector."
Plus, the NAREIT economist says, interest rates started rising before May this year. And from July 2012 to September 2013, one period measured by NAREIT, REITs improved 2.7%. (They improved 24.4% from July 2012 to May 2013, only to drop 17.5% from May 2013 to September.)
While economist Ken Rosen described investors' need to watch this situation at the conference, Case says, he also highlighted the strong fundamentals supporting the asset class.
The industry group says we're really in "the third inning," or year 6.5, of an 18-year cycle, the average length of a bull run in commercial real estate, going back to 1930.
Fundamental Formula
As Case and Rosen point out, there's rising occupancy and rent growth today. "REITs benefit from rising trade, increasing retail and more office jobs," the NAREIT expert said.
Housing construction has been quite limited since 2008 — meaning that pent-up demand could be as high as 4 million units. "As people get jobs, we've seen tightness, and apartment vacancy rates are among the lowest we've ever seen," said Calvin Schnure, an economist who works with Case, in an interview.
Another reason publicly traded REITs aren't interest-rate sensitive, Case says, is that they can use equity rather than debt, which private-sector real estate investors are dependent on.
NAREIT economists also note that REIT income is not like that of bonds, since REITs pay out at least 90% of their taxable income as dividends (where were $29 billion, for instance, in 2012).
In terms of correlations, equity REITs are less than 50% correlated to the annual returns of large-cap stocks and less than 10% correlated to the annual returns of U.S. bonds.
And while Rosen argues that investors might want to wait for a shift in the market to jump into REITs, the NAREIT experts are less inclined to advocate market timing.
"REITs are pretty fairly valued over all right now in our opinion," said Schnure. In fact, some of the highest-quality REITs are somewhat undervalued."

Escaping into nature could be a great way to exercise without it feeling like such hard work. Here are a few tips to keep it enjoyable.
Beautiful views. Animal sightings. Fragrant flowers. Just a chance to unplug from the world and de-stress with nature. Hiking can offer all this, plus a great cardio and leg workout. To get off on the right foot, take these simple steps before you hit the hiking trail.
Ease into it. Even if you've been exercising regularly, hiking stresses different muscles, especially if the route is hilly or rough. Before your first hike, take some hilly fitness walks, or vary the incline on your treadmill. When you do hike, don't plan to go much farther than your usual walking distance. And get your doctor's permission before you go (check in with your doctor before starting any new exercise).
Dress for the occasion. People with diabetes need to take special care to avoid injuries, especially to their feet. Wear comfortable hiking boots that fit well, and wear them around the house or neighborhood first. (Walking or running shoes won't be sturdy enough.) Also wear hiking socks made of a wicking material to help protect your feet from blisters. For extra help balancing (and avoiding falls), use hiking poles or a walking staff on rough terrain.
Play it safe. Stick to trails that are well marked and well maintained. Avoid water crossings, since having wet feet may make you more likely to develop blisters or other foot problems. Check the weather so you won't get caught in a storm. And never hike alone: Always go with a buddy who knows you have diabetes and what to do if a problem arises. If you have a medical alert tag, wear that, too. And don't forget the sunscreen, sunglasses, and bug spray to protect your skin and eyes. Also check your blood glucose regularly during the hike and take appropriate action if it's too high or low. (Note: Check your feet thoroughly after your hike and report any injuries to your doctor ASAP.)
Ready a pack. Use a backpack to carry your blood glucose testing supplies, snacks, glucose tablets, bottled water or CRYSTAL LIGHT Drink Mix, your medications, a first-aid kit, some form of ID, and your cell phone (filled with emergency contacts). And don't forget your camera to capture the views and remember your hike…it'll be inspiration to make a return trip and maybe even discover more new ways to get moving.

"Q" for Tourism Quality, a mark that represents quality in Spain's tourism sector.
Biosphere Reserve, recognition from UNESCO for certain natural sites..
Ecotourism. ECST (European Charter for Sustainable Tourism) accreditation for certain natural areas.
The first National Park in Spain
The Picos de Europa National Park was the first one to be awarded that designation in Spain. Its history goes back to 1918, when don Pedro Pidal, Marquis of Villaviciosa, promoted the law to create the Montaña de Covadonga National Park, which was named Picos de Europa National Park on 30 May 1995. This natural area was awarded the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve designation in 2002.
The Picos de Europa Mountains are made up of three important massifs: eastern or Andara massif, central or Urrieles massif, and western or Cornión massif. Its climate is humid and rainy, because it is affected by the sea (which is only 20 kilometres away). It snows in winter but it is not strange to find year-round snowfields. Because of the park's special climatology, there are often fog banks, much feared by mountain climbers. Regarding its orography, it stands out because of its strong relief, where high peaks are followed by deep ravines and canyons. In more than 200 spots the mountains are over 2,000 metres above sea level and there are slopes that are more than 2,300 metres high. The central massif is the most abrupt of the three, with the highest peaks: Torrecerredo (2,646 metres), the highest peak in the range, Naranjo de Bulnes (2,519 metres) and Pico Tesorero (2,570 metres). The eastern massif is the longest one, where high summits, such as Peña Santa de Castilla (2,596 metres) alternate with meadows, hill forests, beech forests, oak groves and heathland. In this massif you'll find the famous Covadonga Lakes. The eastern massif is shorter and lower, and the sharp crags contrast with the green pastureland. There are four rivers flowing through the park, along deep ravines: Deva River in La Hermida gorge; Sella River in Los Beyos gorge; Cares River in the "Garganta Divina" ravine; and Duje River in La India gorges. There are many viewpoints from where we can contemplate its beauty. A good option is to use the Fuentedé cable car which will take you higher than 1,800 metres above sea level.

Access and surroundings
Cultural information
The Picos de Europa Mountains cover the municipalities of three provinces: Asturias, Cantabria and León. Excellent cultural tourism is available in these places. For example, in the region of Liébana (in the province of Cantabria but adjoining Asturias and León) you can visit the churches of Santa María de Lebeña and Santa María de Piasca, and the Monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana. In Asturias you'll have the chance to visit the Shrine of Covadonga, in Cangas de Onís. Make the most of your visit and taste the Picos de Europa cheeses, which are traditional in the area and have a strong flavour. They are fermented in caves, and one of them is the famous Cabrales.
Environmental information
In the Picos de Europa National Park you'll find the best Atlantic forests in Spain. There are many oaks, beech, hazel, maple, chestnut, walnut trees… Many animal species live in the valley: wild boar, roe deer, wolves and some bears, many small birds (robins, coal tits and black woodpeckers), and even the emblematic capercaillie. The terrain is especially rugged and it is crossed by four rivers that cut through deep ravines, forming spectacular canyons in the mountain. You will also be able to enjoy the two most famous alpine lakes in Spain: El Enol and La Ercina, also called the Covadonga Lakes. There are conservation plans for the capercaillie and recovery plans for the bearded vulture in the Picos de Europa National Park.
Information for visits
You can reach the park in your private vehicle all year round except at the busiest times of year (summer, Easter week and national bank holiday weekends). You can check the Visitor Centres on this page. More access information.
