Casa Corso |
Friday 21 Jun 2013
Situated in the exclusive suburbs of Porto, this house, with its somewhat austere appearance , is transformed each weekend into a holiday home where the children and friends of the owners come to relax.This house came about with a simple photo taken in an instant at a street corner...while on holiday in Rome with the owners, the combination of brown brick and travertine marble in a building caught Jacques Bec's eye. Only the land was there, the rest had to be invented...Jacques remembered the photo taken in Rome and this was the basis for the future home, starting with the union of chiaroscuro, light and dark, where the interior constantly meets the exterior thanks to the subtle lighting effects with the underlying theme being the ubiquitous of stone. The imagination and the cultural background of the two designers did the rest.
Almost without thinking, Jacques and Artur Miranda imagined the concept of a huge atrium, a central point from where all the rooms can be reached, as in the plan of an old house. The huge living room serves as a junction through which people can pass if they prefer not to pass through the pathways lined with columns around the house. Artur and Jacques decorated the house using many of their creations, but they have skillfully combined them with the furniture from the owner's old house, overcoming what could have been a constraint and turning it into a singular and original medley of genres. While the owners living quarters are on the ground floor, a basement has been dug out to house spare rooms and living quarters for members of staff, the entire house spreading through a total of 1900 sq m.
Separating without isolating was the watchword for this house. The fireplace is accessible on each side accentuating the feeling of transparency that pervades the house. Like Roman villas, the central atrium is both a source of light and an assembly point and one can choose staying close to the fireplace or to face the garden on the other side.The decorative pattern of the marble floor follows the directionality of movement, so the corridors along the colonnade allow a convenient path to bedrooms, basement or dining room.

My plan - how does it sound - anything i am overlooking?
You all have been great at answering lots of questions for me lately! And I am sure I will have many more :-) but right now I sort of have a plan in mind and want to see if this sounds good and reasonable to those of you who have gone done this road already or are considering it along with me...
Our family has been to Disney World many times over the past several years. We have never stayed on site because we have had access to off-site accommodations at a really good price. However those accommodations have been condo style so we know if we stayed at Disney we would really enjoy the vacation villas. We have visited many of the resorts on our trips just to walk around and take in the sights and eat at various restaurants. The wilderness Lodge has always held special appeal for us:-) We don't go to Disney every year. Maybe with dvc membership that will change but there is no way for us to know that yet. So we have talked about purchasing a smaller contract to start, like maybe 75 to 100 points, and then adding on later if we want to. One hesitation I have in purchasing an additional contract later is how important it would be to have the same UY? Am I going to run into any frustration or booking issues having different UYs? If so can you explain? Also if we decide we want to do a vacation that requires more points someone told me on an earlier thread that I could rent points as long as they could be transferred. What does that mean and how does that work? Lastly am I crazy for considering this purchase without visiting these resorts in person? Like I said we have visited many resorts on our trips to Disney... The wilderness Lodge, Grand Floridian, The poly, contemporary, Port Orleans.. So I feel I know what Disney properties in general are like... Wonderful!!! We have probably spent the most time at wilderness Lodge so even though I haven't seen the villas I feel like I'm well acquainted with the property. Personally I don't have an issue with buying into a villa sight unseen but I don't know if I'm just getting over excited and if I should be more cautious. Would you advise against what I'm considering and if do why? Thanks a bunch!!! |

with multiple contracts under the same member number (they have to be under the same UY and titled the same), it's much easier as the contracts function pretty seamlessly as if they were one big contract. Quote:
1) You rent a reservation and have the other owner ask MS to link that reservation to the reservation that you made with your pts. But the rented reservation is not under your control until you check-in. You cannot call MS about that reservation for any reason you are renting and dont own it. You might have to check out of your reservation and check back in to their reservation usually they try to keep you in the same room but there is a risk of having to move. 2) You have the other owner transfer pts into your account (as I said above, home resort windows still apply). In this case you do own the pts and can pool them together with the pts you own to make a longer reservation. Its easier and you have more control but you are limited to one transfer per UY, either in or out so if you had 2 contracts and already used up your one transfer to combine those pts, you might not have the option to transfer more pts in from another owner (MS sometimes doesnt count a transfer to yourself against you and sometimes they do.)

Years ago, DVC was seamless with these types of reservations and you didn't even need to check out and check back in. But with the software change in 2011 and the new technology, they seem to have gone backwards in customer service.

With only 100 points plus small addons, it would be best to keep the same location and use year for all your points.
You may have to hunt for VWL to get exactly what you want and it may take some time, but you can always TRANSFER DVC points into your account as then you control the reservation vs renting and having little control. |

If you love VWL that much, I would buy there even if you have not experienced all the DVC resorts. VWL is very small and very difficult to get at certain times, esp. December.
I have seen somewhere in the past a breakdown of the % of points per UY at resorts. Maybe someone here can provide a link. If you would buy one of the UYs that is more common, finding another one later to add-on may be easier. I know UY is important to some degree, but to be honest your vacation habits will change over the length of your ownership. As long as you can make the UY work for your current habits, do not get too hung up on if it is the "best UY". Laura |

Smaller memberships are harder to manage with two different UY's. If you have enough in each and can use them on their own, without having to worry too much about mixing, then its easier.
We have two-Dec and June. It works for the times we travel now but I also have 180 in one membership with points at BLT and then 250 points in Dec UY with points at BWV and BLT. That is what helps making it a bit easier, but there are times where I am borrowing in one contract vs. dealing with having to transfer, etc. It would have been so much easier in one, but then again, we started with a June UY and now want to travel at the end of May so having a Dec UY works really well for that. I say, if you have visited VWL and like the resort, then starting there makes sense and adding on from there. Think about when you might likely travel and try to choose a UY that works with that. Once you know, you will have a better idea of choosing a UY that fits as well as maybe one that is a bit more frequent on the resale market. Good luck!

The other consideration is that you will have 2 different banking deadlines. With a calendar and an alarm, you should be able to easily manage this, but it can also effect your points if you need to cancel a reservation. Keep that in mind. It's not impossible, just a bit more complicated. Quote:
It seems like you have done your research. Good job...you are ahead of the game. It would be ideal to try and "test drive" each DVC property, but the reality is that it is an expensive proposition. We own at AKV but we have stayed at BWV, BLT and OKW too. I can honestly say that I would still buy AKV if I had to do it over. I love BWV and OKW, but I would never be disappointed if I had to stay at AKV. When the time comes to choose your home resort, the important thing to ask yourself is "If I had to stay here every time, would I spend my vacation wishing I were at a different resort?" If the answer is, "yes", you need to buy the other resort.

With all due respect, you probably don't know what you like. We thought we did but we were wrong.
I wouldn't buy a house without checking out the neighborhood first and visiting the house several times. Your Disney vacations and DVC purchase and dues will cost you as much as a house. We made that mistake big time. We thought that we would love BLT, bought there, not our favorite. Bought AKV, nice resort, again not our favorite. Bought BCV and BWV, like BWV hands down as our favorite. Bought VWL, love the resort, our favorite MK resort and when we feel like living the life we bought VGF as a second MK resort. Nothing worse than buying a property, staying at other resorts and having your family saying that they like other resorts better than the one you bought. Second to that is not being able to get the room you want at the other resorts at 7 months and having your family ask why. Bill

Let me preface this by saying that Bill (disneynutz) is one of the most valuable posters to this board, and I know that his advice is given wisely. Here, I will disagree, but that needs explaining:
We bought VWL sight unseen (beyond the Internet and these boards), because we liked the vibe of the Wilderness Lodge in general. We decided that since we were going to spend the money to stay at a Disney Deluxe on our next trip, and had the cash on hand to buy a resale without a loan, that purchasing VWL without staying there first was a good call. For our family, this was the right decision. Bill is absolutely correct that it would be best to stay at every resort you might want for home, before you commit. But in my opinion, that would have been awfully expensive to do, as there are at least a half dozen of them that we would be glad to have as "home." Now certainly, before spending the money to buy any place "direct," I would stay there first. You need to know exactly what you're getting to drop that kind of money. But if you're going to buy a 2042 expiration place on the resale market, and you have a strong idea which one is your preference I would say "go for it." It worked for us. Your experience may vary. But speaking of my own home resort, I feel that VWL is the "real deal" and you will get what you bargain for at this property. Good luck with your decision. |

It also depends on your plans and the type of vacationers you are. We started out as park people taking 3 WDW vacations per year and buying the DDP when it was first offered. The resort and room was just a place to sleep. Years later the parks are too crowded, the DDP isn't a good buy, and we spend most of our time at the resorts. Our room view is very important to us and we have stayed at all of the resorts many times over. I suppose that if I had it to do over, I would buy at a less expensive resort and use the points to try all of the resorts out. Either selling those points and buying at our favorite or using the original points to rent. The other option is to take you best guess and learn to live what you bought, that's what we did. Bill

Thank you all so much! I really appreciate the advice everyone has provided.
I feel like the only resort we really "know" is VWL because we almost always visit there when we go to WDW. (We have yet to ever stay onsite 😱because we have had access to off site condos at prices we couldn't resist) We've walked around other WDW resorts, but VWL is one we have visited several times. And I love it! I love that it's smaller and since we go at Christmas the theming is phenomenal (IMO). I really started this journey thinking that's where I wanted to buy but then DH began talking about being within walking distance to Epcot which might be our fave resort when we are empty nesters in 7 years :-) We are kicking around the idea of buying a small contract (100 points or less)...that will give us enough for a 4 or 5 day trip each year or a longer trip every other year, and that's pretty much what we do now. We've also heard that it's often easier to resell smaller contracts and that makes us feel a little more comfortable in the event we find DVC isn't for us...though I cannot even fathom that possibility, I am one to I overanalyze everything and try to be prepared for anything LOL! I wish I could visit all the resorts first to make a fully informed decision, but it would just cost too much and given the small number of points we are talking about, it may not be justified. So I guess all there is to do now is watch the resale sights and keep my fingers crossed! |

Many people come to these boards and ask tons of questions. You really seem to be thinking carefully about the entire process. I think your approach is the right one. Buy a small contract first. We initially bought a small contract at VWL which has always been my favorite. Then we stayed at AKL. We loved it even more! No harm done. Small contracts are fairly easy to sell. We bought another small contract at AKL. Sold the VWL contract and actually made a profit of a few thousand dollars this summer. As long as you start small you will be fine. There seem to be more contracts on the lower side then there were the past few months. Good luck!

On average, SEC states produce 79 NFL draft picks per year. The Pac-12 states produce about 47. The Big Ten states about 45.
With the population of the country shifting further toward the Sun Belt every year, there's no reason to think that the SEC states won't continue to produce more NFL talent than other regions of the nation. If SEC schools can keep that pro talent home, they will continue to rule in college football.
In the end, the SEC's dominance is as easy to explain as 1-2-3:

Mode of Formation of Volcanic Mountains
A volcanic mountain is formed through a volcanic eruption which is a forceful ejection of molten materials from the earth's crust. The ejected materials gradually build up to form a mountain. A volcanic mountain can be either violent or mild. A volcanic mountain may consist of alternating layers of ash and lava or mainly of lava. Volcanoes which consist of alternating layers of lava and ash are said to be composite, while those that are made up almost exclusively of lava are called lava cones.
There are two types of lava cones. Acid lava which is stiff and viscous has a gig silica content and flows slowly, while basic lava is more fluid and has more sodium, calcium and magnesium. It also flows more rapidly and travels much further before hardening than acid lava. This is the formation of volcanic mountains.

Another excellent product made by pjur!
I've used this product with toys and with my partner (he likes it too). I found it to be very soft, smooth and velvety in texture. I have sensitive skin and can't use a whole lot of fragranced, flavored lubes, so I don't usually try different products, but pjur is my new favorite lube. Works well with condoms, but a little goes a long way. A word to the wise, just be very careful not to spill this product. Feels nice to rub in the skin, creates a nice slippery, long lasting playground for some sexy fun.
Not so lubed
This was really not what I was expecting. It was almost goopy. Against skin it was thick and reminded me of smearing Elmer's glue around when I was kid. As it says, it does last but that's not necessarily a good thing when it feels like it's pulling/adding friction instead of easing the friction.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jake!
Facts about Jake
- Breed: Poodle (Miniature) Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Jake's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Jake is about 2 years old. He weighs 15lbs. He looked pretty rough when he came into the rescue. I am putting his before pics as the last. His hair came off in one piece he was so badly matted. They call that a cast at the groomers. She could not save any of his hair. She thinks he had been that way for about a year with no good haircut.
Jake is a sweet guy. Calm quiet and loves attention and sitting right by you. He loves people. Funny this guy is a love. He just ended up in the wrong home who did not care for him properly. Well, now it is his time to shine. And become a real loved and cared for family member. One that will be cherished, honored and bring so much joy...both ways..yours and his. He needs this and stability. He gets along great with others. Loves to find that blanket or doggie bed or curl up with you. Is good in the car too. Call 530-777-8550
Other Pets at Happy Paws Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jake, a Yuba City Poodle (Miniature) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Poodle (Miniature) for sale in Yuba City, or seeking a Poodle (Miniature) dog from a breeder in Yuba City.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Yuba City already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Yuba City breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Poodle (Miniature) breeders who help with Poodle (Miniature) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Yuba City paves the way for another one to be saved.

_Elder Law & Elder Care Planning
This area of law combines elements of Estate Planning, Wills, Trusts and Estates, Guardianship (also called Conservatorship), Health Care Planning, Medicaid Planning, Tax Planning and Elder Rights.
Seniors are more active and live longer than ever before, but they have a new set of legal concerns that have rarely been addressed by earlier generations. Older people have always needed Wills, Trusts and/or Estate Planning to pass their assets to their beneficiaries. Now that they are living longer, there are more issues about their future care that have to be included in an Estate Plan, such as planning for housing, future medical care, and what to do if the person should become incapacitated. One of the most important questions that is being raised is how to provide long-term assisted living housing, with possibly increasing levels of care, including nursing home care, as the seniors age. This, in turn, is giving rise to a whole new industry of assisted living and nursing home facilities and raising many legal questions about contract rights and the power of facilities to discharge residents. As continuing care becomes more and more expensive, seniors are also in need on information about the availability of long-term care insurance and government benefits such as Medicare and Medicaid.
A new level of consciousness about elder abuse is giving rise to lawyers who assist in protecting seniors. For more information about Elder Care Planning in New York contact a Yonkers Elder Care Planning Lawyer at Marra Law by calling 914-964-6806.

~ Dr. Finley Anne Bryan, Executive Director, Cape Fear Botanical Garden
Because of Gail, we are on our way to creating a well-oiled machine that can confidently and effectively sustain the financial support we need to do our work.
~ Caroline A. King, Administrative Director, Operation Respect, New York, NY
Gail, I cannot thank you enough for your work preparing us to raise money. Our board members now have a clear understanding of their role in fundraising, and are actually taking the initiative to implement the plan. This is nothing short of miraculous.
~ Jon Wilner, Director, the ArtsCenter
Thanks so much for your great advice for our organization. Your support and enthusiasm are inspiring.
~ Margaret Barrett, Orange County Rape Crisis Center, Chapel Hill, NC
I don't know where or how to begin thanking you! Just know that you have changed lives and made a lasting impression on Fayetteville.You showed us how to fine tune what was already in place, how to reword our approach (both written and verbal) more effectively and how to incorporate new initiatives into what already was taking place here at FSO.In addition, your strategies are easy to remember, so they can be quickly put into practice. For example I have already quoted your "when in doubt throw a party" and "buy a ticket anyway" philosophies when communicating with the board.
Personally, I feel that I have greatly increased my knowledge, skills and confidence in the fundraising area and therefore my value to my organization and any future employer. I appreciated how you supported the staff. You aimed to help us rather than seeking out deficiencies or putting people on the defense.
~ Linda Frenette Executive Director, Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra

We would like to keep you informed about the LMA by email in the future, but we need your permission to do this. Your feedback is really valuable so please tell us how you'd like to hear from us.
In your view, which teams will start out as favourites for the 2006 World Cup in Germany? Any surprises?
Based on our experience of the Confederations Cup, we see that Brazil and Argentina are ahead in terms of quality and how to deal with certain moments in the game. Other big teams like England, France and Italy are strong and capable of making a difference. We believe that Ukraine could be a surprise because Oleg Blokhin has developed them very well over recent years. Pre-tournament, it looks like Brazil and Argentina are up to the challenge, but we will see.
What do you think about the UEFA Champions League?
The UEFA Champions League sets the tone for football because you have the best players in the world performing in the competition and they put their stamp on it. Top coaches are also there and they influence how the game is developed - they lead the trends because they are working at it every day. If you look at the big teams there, they are international teams put together from many different countries. The UEFA Champions League coaches/ players definitely lead the way.
How do you handle pressure from the media?
I have no problem with pressure -everybody talks about it, but it is not a physical thing and therefore does not create a problem for me. As a player, the higher the expectations, the more 1 liked it; the bigger the game, the more I liked it. Maybe that is why I always pushed myself in big tournaments. In every tournament, I was right there, at the right time, because I felt those special moments had to be grabbed. Even as a national coach, I accept the challenge and the responsibility. Being in control, you can set the limits and decide how much you do yourself, for example with the media. It is not easy for the media today - their focus is on selling and not just information. We have to find our way to deal with it - for sure, we will not change it. But, as I said, I have no trouble dealing with the pressure - I am used to it.
Tactically, what do you expect the trends to be during the World Cup?
As with the UEFA Champions League, the World Cup will emphasise compact play, less and less space, team efficiency. Even with teams well prepared, including physically, it will often be down to the mental aspect and who can make a difference. A set-play, a counter, an individual effort can be decisive. The transition becomes more and more important. Reaction speed is vital - players must be alert and in peak physical condition. Even in training, this awareness must be developed.
To what extent do you believe in using technology, psychologists, and fitness specialists as aids for your team's preparation?
I think we will go in this direction more and more because it is not possible for a coach to be an expert in all these areas. You need to have a big staff who filter information and pass it down to you. You learn a lot from these experts - I profit a great deal from their input. In the past, the coach did everything -now you manage a big staff and a team. You could say that you are the manager of two teams. I try to communicate with the players directly, but if feel that certain things are better relayed by a third party, then I do it that way.
How do you deal with the stress of the job?
I am a workout fanatic. I train for an hour and a half every day and I play for a local amateur team. I swim, cycle, run, etc. I even went running in Montreux on the morning of the EURO 2008 draw in January. If you come up with a veterans' World Cup, I could maybe make a comeback as a player!
You were a great striker -to what extent has that background influenced your philosophy as a coach?
It definitely has had an influence on my coaching philosophy because I am definitely more attack-minded than I might have been. To make sure I was not on the wrong track, I asked the national team coaching staff and the players if they agreed with my view. They accepted that it is our mentality to put people under pressure, to be very physical, to be very dynamic and attack-orientated. We defined our style in discussions with the team. The key players, that is the leaders in the team, have a big influence on how we play, especially with so many youngsters in the squad. In my day, we were more playful, probably because we learned to play in the streets. Today's young players are more focused - they are planners. They are more calculating in their attitude towards their performance and careers than we were.
What has been your best moment in football so far?
There are so many personal memories that you carry around with you. A special moment for me was in 1994 when we played in South Africa. As the captain of Germany, I introduced my team-mates to Nelson Mandela and this is something that I will never forget. It is all those moments that prove that football is about so much more than just a result It goes so deep into the social and educational aspects of life. It helped me to develop as a young person. 1 learned languages, created a worldwide network of contacts - I would never have met my wife and lived in another continent if it had not been for football. I would never have had any of that without the game. Jurgen the player is now in the archives - it is my role as a coach, which now takes centre stage.

Writing is the ultimate escape from reality. You can read or watch a movie, but you're not truly immersed in another world like you are when you're creating one. When I'm not writing, I'm wishing I was and when I'm writing I'm living another life. There's some of me in every female character who lets me write her story--some more than others, but I'll never tell which ones. In my other lives I'm a sexy vampire, a powerful witch, an independent werewolf or a seductive human. I can be anyone and anything I want, and who wouldn't want to do that?

Learn more about how we're making our University more sustainable - www.cardiff.ac.uk/sustainability
A new University social media tool that connects members of the public, allowing them to interact and debate what's important to them about their environment, is being unveiled as part of the annual Wales Biodiversity Week.
The Sustainable Places Research Institute is inviting people to have their voice heard as part of the UVoice project.
Founded by Patricia Baker, sister of Professor Susan Baker from the School of Social Sciences and a Principal Investigator in the Sustainable Place Research Institute, UVoice works both as a mobile app and website.
Professor Baker, School of Social Sciences, said: "UVoice gives people the chance to record their views and tell the community around them what they value most about wildlife and the natural environment.
"As well as voicing opinions, UVoice enables questions to be asked which audiences can respond to, and allows people to share ideas and opinions in an open online forum."
Contributions from the public fed into a major seminar held at the University to coincide with Wales Biodiversity Week.
The seminar saw two of the Research Institute's leading members – Professor Mike Bruford of the University's School of Biosciences and Professor Susan Baker of the School of Social Sciences joined by Dr Isabelle Durance Research Fellow at the Institute - draw together different perspectives on biodiversity conservation.
The University's Sustainable Places Research Institute brings together leading sustainability experts in ten of the University's Schools to push the boundaries of traditional sustainability research and find solutions to the challenges of diminishing resources and climate change. The work of the Research Institute is championed by its patron Griff Rhys Jones.
As well as undertaking world-leading sustainability research the University is seeking to pursue the principles of sustainable development - both in its engagement with external stakeholders and in the management of its internal operations.
From the University's environmental management system, measures to save energy and water, recycling our waste and promoting more sustainable transport it's addressing a wide range of sustainability issues.
The University also holds its annual Sustainability Week – a week of talks, discussions and film screenings involving the whole University community as well as supporting the Welsh Government's Wales Sustainability Week, joining forces with individuals, organisations and communities across Wales to help create a more sustainable nation.
Anyone interested in the UVoice project can download the free app to their iphone from http://itunes.apple.com/ie/app/sustainable-places-research/id436421935?mt=8 or http://places.uvoicenow.com/.
Further information is also available on the Sustainable Places Research Institute website.

"That's an alternate universe." These words have been ringing in my ears since I heard them a couple weeks ago. They well describe the dangerous thinking of America's leaders in recent events. There is a shocking disconnect from reality.
Several American outposts in the Middle East lie defaced or smoldering right now, thanks to violent Muslim mobs that chanted, "We are all Osama." Islamic banners fly where American flags should be. An American ambassador and three other U.S. personnel are dead and buried.

Some members objected to the line that says "On that cross as Jesus died, the wrath of God was satisfied," spokesperson and chair of the Presbyterian Committee Mary Louise Bringle wrote in The Christian Century.
Bringle said most of the committee wanted the lyrics changed to "The love of God was magnified." They said they didn't want to suggest in the new hymnal that Jesus' death on the cross was an atoning sacrifice needed "to assuage God's anger" over sin.
The hymn writers refused. Getty said they wrote "In Christ Alone" to tell "the whole gospel."

Bees' Knees News
Though the George Zimmerman trial ended in an acquittal, many folks are still confused as to the facts. One thing we learned during the case is that journalists are not always reliable, the infamous NBC redaction of the 911 call being only the most obvious example.
But if you are looking for media's systemic failures, you don't need to bring in race and shootings and Skittles. Look no further than stories about bees.
I'm not talking about "killer bees" of my youth — supposedly coming up from South America to "take over" the continent, and sting, sting, sting and kill, kill, kill.
Didn't happen. Simple extrapolations based on movements of some bee populations did not spell eco-disaster for the good ol' USA.
But another bee story, much hyped, also turns out to be false, or at least only half, or quarter, true: "Bee-pocalypse!"
Since 2006 we've been hearing how Colony Collapse Disorder has destroyed bee hives, vast populations of the insects, and worse, continues to threaten both natural and contracted pollination, and thus agriculture . . . and Life on the Planet.
Shawn Regan, writing for the Property and Environment Research Center, says that this story, once the media's veritable bees' knees, setting people "in the know" all abuzz, was mostly just bad reporting. U.S. honey bee colony numbers are stable, he shows, explaining that commercial beekeepers, "far from being passive victims, have actively rebuilt their colonies in response to increased mortality from CCD."
Yes, capitalism has adapted.
If you had been suckered into this story, maybe you should have looked at the local supermarket: honey production has remained stable.
As has bad environmental reporting.
This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

Balinese mental acuity and alcohol
It is quite an eyeopener in Bali to encounter the incredible memory and other indications of mental sharpness demonstrated constantly by the Balinese.
Having published Kindred magazine, one of the world's most respected parenting magazine I came across lots of data linking alcohol, especially binge drinking amongst young people (while the drain is still developing), to memory gaps and long-term memory disability. Apparently the hippocampus, responsible for memory, becomes damaged via alcohol consumption. The Balinese, and Indonesians in general, do not have a drinking culture, or at least nothing like in Australia and especially not amongst their youth, and the impacts of this upon their mental ability is stark.
Repeatedly I go to restaurants where the water/waitress would come and take our order, with drinks, entrees and mains, and memorise who wanted what, then go to serve other tables on the way back to the kitchen, and then bring out the orders accurately. Possibly these staff have simply been really well trained, and such competence also happens in more up-market restaurants in Australia also, but rarely, while it happens pretty much at every restaurant in Bali.
Whenever I revisited some business I had bought something from they would remember me, where I came from and who I previously came with and what my needs were. One day I delivered some tubes of honey i was selling to a shop, and probably had 30 seconds contact with a man who noted my name and my product. I returned about 3 weeks later, and he looked at me, knew my name, the name of my product and also how many had sold. I was stunned. Other times I returned to a shop and they remembered what I had bought previously.
Yes there are occasions when staff completely forget instructions and you have to repeat the list of tasks, but mostly the ability of the Balinese to remember things is astounding. A friend with whom I travelled was amazed when we went to a village where she had stayed 7 years earlier and everyone remembered her and the name of her boyfriend and that she had gone to Australia in the meantime.
To then see my own memory lapses, in particular with names, made me feel embarrassed. To then see other Aussies instantly forgetting who they just met, and often not even bothering to pay the attention required to remember, made me reflect upon the possibility that our dependence upon alcohol may be a key reason why the West is being overtaken in so many areas by Asians.
This may be correct, maybe not, but nevertheless it is worth considering the effects of the Australian love affair with alcohol and what it is doing to our culture and society.

Now Even Lucas Black is Back For the 'Fast & Furious' Franchise's Foreseeable Future
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on September 17, 2013 | Be the First To CommentIf we can all agree that "jumping the shark" has undeniably become an actual term that really exists for describing the point where an entertainment property strays too far from its initial concept and loses its relevance, then it seems reasonable we would also have to agree that the Fast & Furious franchise seems to be the one property out there that looks to be completely immune from experiencing the phenomenon, no matter how many giant sharks it jumps its souped-up muscle cars over. Most successful movie franchises can spit out three, maybe four films before they start to feel completely tired, but here we are in the pre-production phase of Fast & Furious 7, and the series seems to still be picking up steam. Already we've heard about plans they have for a Fast & Furious 8, after all. If there was any period where it looked like the Fast & Furious franchise was actually going to fly off the rails and lose its profitability, it was with the third film in the series, Tokyo Drift though. That's the film that failed to sign up franchise stalwarts Vin Diesel and Paul Walker for featured roles, and had to instead rely on telling its story through the eyes of a new protagonist played by Lucas Black. This didn't work out so well because Black was terrible in the movie, everyone missed Diesel, and Tokyo Drift ended up making less than half of what the next-least profitable film in the series […]

We're creating a new Guideposts.org
It's faster, it's mobile friendly—and we'd love you to have a sneak peek. Click here to preview
The cohost of Good Morning America talks about her not-so-secret passion and the inspiration behind it.
I make no secret of my love for all things vintage and antique, and it all started because of my mom. She turned me on to the thrill of hunting for secondhand treasures at flea markets and tag sales from the time I was a toddler, and I have been going strong ever since.
With five kids to feed, there was no room in the budget for interior design, but that didn't stop my mother! On the back of her station wagon was a bumper sticker that read I brake for yard sales, and she certainly did.
She loved to haggle for wonderful old paintings, silverware, furniture–anything she could breathe new life into. Mom always gave me a dollar or two on these outings and encouraged me to search for treasures as well.
Some folks might have been turned off by the piles of dusty junk stacked up in strangers' garages and driveways or lying scattered across their front lawns, but not me. I learned valuable lessons about life, lessons that I now try to instill in my own kids.
1. Don't be fooled by appearances
You should see the dining table where our family has gathered every Christmas and Thanksgiving for almost as long as I can remember. When my mom bought it, years ago, at a St. Vincent de Paul thrift shop, I thought she had lost her mind.
She said it was only 50 dollars. We all thought it was 50 dollars too much! It was covered with layers of paint and all dinged up, but underneath, as she predicted, it was beautiful solid mahogany. Refinished and reborn, it became the centerpiece of our dining room and a true family heirloom.
I think I learned some of the skills I use as a journalist from my mom on our flea-market outings. She always asked questions, trying to learn more about the history of whatever she was interested in.
She looked for maker's marks and checked the underside of pieces, searching for clues to the quality. When she found something she liked, she'd take it home and put some elbow grease into it and uncover a treasure.
Download a Free eBook filled with stories that show you how to transform life's challenges into opportunities!
Kids can be quick to judge. I learned to do otherwise from Mom, and to give things a second chance.
When I bring my own kids to a flea market, I will show them an old chair and point out all the beautiful features and quality workmanship underneath the worn fabric. I remind them never to judge anything, or anyone, on outward appearance alone.
2. Seek what you love
Bargains are great, of course, but don't buy something at a flea market or thrift shop just because it's a really good deal. Buy things that speak to you. Don't grab a painting because you think it could be a lost Monet–buy it because you think it's beautiful.
If you buy what you love, you'll enjoy it. If it turns out to be valuable, well, that's a bonus.
The very first thing I bought at a yard sale was a ceramic Snoopy. I was about eight years old and I paid a quarter for it. It got me started on a collection of Snoopy figurines that I still have today. Are they valuable? I doubt they are worth much money, but they are valuable to me.
Their value is in their memory–they remind me of a young girl's happy Saturdays with her mom.
The first really valuable thing I found? I was just out of college, working in the page program at NBC, making next to nothing.
A cohost on ABC's Good Morning America and the host of Flea Market Flip on HGTV, Lara Spencer is also a best-selling author; her latest book is Flea Market Fabulous: Designing Gorgeous Rooms with Vintage Treasures (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2014)

Tulsa Public Schools has partnered with Guthrie-based NGV Fleet Partners to convert all 177 of its buses that currently run on diesel to compressed natural gas. Ray Tuttle from the Journal Record reports that the move is expected to save the school district $750,000 to $1 million a year.
A combination of state and federal tax credits and grants will help pay for the $51,500 conversion costs. The National Association of Pupil Transportation helped secure another $5 million in stimulus funds to pay for other conversions at TPS and other schools across the country.
The Tulsa school district tried a test conversion in 2007 with just one bus, and because of successful results made a decision to move forward with the conversion of the other 176 buses.
TPS Transportation director Ottway Burkhalter told the Journal Record this:
"Our objective is to convert the buses to a clean energy source in order to reduce increasingly high annual transportation costs. We want to reduce the district's carbon footprint."
