I blew a tire yesterday, and I’m hoping to find a pretty good replacement with about the same amount of tread for a decent price. Is there a place (a salvage yard or used tire shop) around Daly City, Ca?

Victoria Hotels Offer The Perfect London Stay
Filed Under Hotels | Comments Off
Choosing the right London hotels, when planning for the trip of a lifetime, is easier than you may think. Each area in London has certain uniqueness, a special ambience. Examining what activities and sites appeal to you, and what type of vacation you desire will allow you to locate a quality hotel in just the right spot of London. Staying in “The City,” which is the financial district of London, has numerous advantages.
Victoria hotels offer easy access to the underground railway and coach stations. British Airways Terminal and the Gatwick Express both serve Victoria as well. Ease in accessing some of the best public transportation in the world makes the London hotels in this part of town a wise choice. Besides being an economical way to get about, London public transport is efficient, modern, well run, and gives you a taste of London that will linger in your memories for a long, long time.
Another reason for choosing a stay in the may be to mix business and pleasure. What better way to conduct business, staying at a hotel located in the “Financial Capital of the World,” and also to be able to take a leisurely stroll to a museum or historical sport after your business day is complete.
If you prefer a quiet location, Victoria hotels are an excellent choice. Allowing you to easily access the much busier nightspots of the city by public transport, the London hotels in “The City” provide a quiet and restful evening when you choose to call it a day. You will not have to miss the nightlife or the excitement of staying up until the wee hours of the morning; you can easily travel to where nighttime celebrations are the norm. However, your hotel base, your place where you ease back for a peaceful sleep, will afford you a calm spot to unwind.
Another advantage of staying in the Victoria area is the ease in which you can visit some of the major spots of London just by taking a walk. Besides being able to access all of the major transports of the city from these London hotels, walking is a viable option for visiting several noteworthy sites. Buckingham Palace, one of the most well known London attractions, is within a half mile (also known as a “short kilometer,”), an easy distance to walk and breathe in all that is the flavor and feeling of London itself.
Serving as the Queen’s official residence, the 775-room Palace is used for official events and receptions. There are also areas of the Palace, which are opened to visitors on a regular basis. The staterooms, for example, are usually open during August and September, and display some of the works of the greatest painters in the world, including Rembrandt, Rubens and Vermeer. In addition to sculpture and porcelain, these rooms also hold examples of English and French furniture of the highest quality. You may want to check in when you arrive at your London hotel to see what parts of the Palace may be toured, or even better, check the internet before leaving on your trip for the latest updates.
By walking a short distance in the same direction, to the south bank of the River Thames near Blackfriars Bridge, a visit to the Tate Modern Museum lets a person view some of the most famous as well as the most current and cutting-edge modern art in the world. Created in 2000 by converting an unused power station in the heart of London, The Tate collection of modern and contemporary art represents all the major movements since Fauvism, which dates back to1905. The Tate collection includes important masterpieces by such greats as Picasso and Matisse. It also holds an outstanding collection of surrealism, including works by Dali, Miró and Ernst, as well as Pollock and Rothko. There is even a single room, known as the Tate Rothko Room, which only holds nine Seagram murals by Rothko. Tate’s focus on pop art is solid and includes major works by Lichtenstein and Warhol. The museum’s acquisition and display of world-class contemporary art beginning in the 1980’s and running to the current day is appreciated by modern art enthusiasts of all ages.
From the Tate Modern, a short walk across the pedestrian Millennium Bridge brings a London visitor to Saint Paul’s Cathedral, a spot especially breathtaking at night with strategic lighting outlining its dome against the night sky. This spectacular building reminds us that London continues to offer some of the most memorable photographic opportunities of any city, with even amateurs able to return home with stunning pictures.
The current Saint Paul’s Cathedral is the fourth to occupy the site and was designed by Sir Christopher Wren. It was completed in 1710 after the previous cathedral was destroyed in the Great Fire of London. Besides its grand architecture and overall presentation, it holds beautiful mosaics from the mid-19th century, created in response to Queen Victoria’s negative comment that the interior of the cathedral was “most dreary, dingy and un-devotional.” The Cathedral is active to this day, and you may want to check on special presentations or events being held at the time of your visit.
Selecting the right London hotels, such as those located in the Victoria area, will result in one of the most enjoyable vacations you can imagine, making it easy to add business to your journey. The restful evenings allow a visitor superb sleep, while the location affords easy access, on foot or by public transport, to some of the most beautiful and historical sites of this city.
When Londoners speak of The City, they are referring to the original square mile that is now the British version of Wall Street. When visitors speak of staying in this same area, they are referring to London hotels that allow them to partake in an affordable world-class vacation, which may include business, in one of the greatest cities of the world.

What are some ways I can get community service hours in San Francisco if I am under 18 years old?
Filed Under Community Service | 4 Comments
I am 13 years old and I live in San Francisco. Does anyone know how I can get community service hours? I understand that working at a nursing home is an option but it’s not exactly my type of volunteer work and my parents don’t trust me in that place. Also, any place in Daly City is fine as well.

Adoration of the Magi/Persistence of Memory
Filed Under Art And Entertainment | Comments Off
Adoration of the Magi by Sandro Botticelli is a Renaissance painting located in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence Italy. Botticelli painted many of these adoration paintings on commission but the Adoration of the Magi seems to be the most popular. This painting is on a wooden altarpiece and shows different people looking at one another with different expressions on their face. Botticelli is in the bottom right hand corner looking you the observer.
The painting is Tempera on Wood and uses distinct bright colors to represent the wealth of the people who are in it. This adoration has biblical connotations and uses historical traditions for example making the Virgin Mary where a blue cloak. All of the figures were designed to create geometric design on the panel. Botticelli does not pay much attention to linear texture. This painting was commissioned for a funerary chapel in the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence.
The bright vivid colors attracted me to this work; I found it interesting how the artist played off of mostly reds and blues and I liked how my attention was immediately drawn to the center of the painting. All of the people seemed to be involved in the miraculous birth of the Jesus. The greatest aesthetic strength of this painting is its use of vivid color, the aesthetic weakness I found was the lack of the artistic use of shadow. I believe this piece does have lasting value; it is undoubtedly a beautiful piece of art and has stood the test of time as a masterpiece. The painting has particular cultural significance to the city of Florence in Italy. It shows how this particular class of Florentines dressed and looked.
Botticelli’s Adoration of the Magi is a beautiful painting depicting a noble Florentine family. It takes a historical moment (the birth of Jesus Christ) and incorporates the patron’s images. I found this painting to be rich in color and detail and a window into the period in which the patrons lived.
The Persistence of Memory
By John Schlismann
The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali was created in Spain in 1931, it currently resides in The Museum of Modern art in New York City. Dali was painter of the surrealist school of thought which emphasized the “reality and intensity of the subconscious mind”. This work is said to symbolize Dali’s idea of the nature of time in a dream. It is probably his best known works and is recognized all over the world as an example of modern art.
Dali uses extremely realistic techniques in the landscape of this painting; the rocks in the background have almost a photographic look to them. This painting is oil on canvas and is 9 ½ by 13. The painting has the characteristics of the modern surrealist style in that it presents the idea of time in a dream like state. Space in this painting seems never-ending because of its aerial perspective.
I am attracted to this piece of art because of its uniqueness. It stands out and is attractive to me because it is so different than normal art but at the same time it is something I can relate to unlike other examples of modern art. This piece’s greatest aesthetic strength in my opinion is Dali’s use of space. The use of space creates an almost dreamlike environment which is effective in his interpretation of time in a dreamlike state. It’s greatest aesthetic weakness is that it can be hard to interpret what it means without knowing the history behind it. This painting does possess lasting value in that it expresses the ideas of the surrealist time period. It is a great example of the surrealist movement and what it set out to accomplish. The surrealist movement and Dali’s painting The Persistence of Memory reflects the cultural attitude of the time that desired something new and different from the preceding impressionist and romantic movements.
