Una encantadora casa solariega construida en la década de mediados de 1800, el Inn at Monticello se encuentra ubicado en el valle en la base de la propia montaña de Thomas Jefferson en Monticello. El Inn está situado en cinco acres de hermosos jardines, cerca del centro histórico de Charlottesville, pero conserva la sensación de la tranquilidad del campo. Los huéspedes pueden descansar en el porche con sombra y observar las aves y la fiesta de los ciervos en el césped bien cuidado, o dar un paseo a lo largo del arroyo que pasa por la propiedad. Muchos huéspedes se reúnen en la tarde para una copa de vino de Virginia antes de salir a cenar en uno de los muchos restaurantes de la zona de Charlottesville.

We had a delightful two days at The Inn At Monticello. The hosts were a pleasure to meet and talk to. They serve wine and cheese at five pm, when they light a fire in the fireplace and invite guests to relax.

My wife and I wanted to visit Jefferson's home and found the inn's location—almost at the beginning of the Jefferson Parkway leading to Monticello—too enticing to pass up. But as a bonus, the inn is everything described on its website—elegant, comfortable, "fine food and great company"—what you see is what you get—a most enjoyable experience! Don't pass up the afternoon/evening beverage and cookies and chatting with other guests. Many thanks to Bob and Carolyn for their warm hospitality.

There were 3 in our party and we each had our own bedroom. The bedrooms and baths were spic and span. My bed was wonderful. I don't know what sheets were on it, but I believe they were the best I've ever slept on. The hosts were welcoming and so helpful, offering suggestions for dinner (which we used and the food was great). We had a wonderful breakfast with a group of guests that included international representation, so the conversation was very interesting. I don't hesitate to recommend this B&B.

Overall the Inn at Monticello exceeded our expectations. Our hosts Bob and Carolyn were gracious. The breakfast each morning was beautifully prepared, and our fellow guests were friendly and outgoing. Charlottesville is a great destination. We came here to visit Monticello, but discovered so much more. Great restaurants, wonderful ambiance; Charlottesville has got it going on. The stay at the Inn at Monticello was the icing on the cake. s

If you are going to Charlottesville or Monticello, I highly recommend The Inn at Monticello. Our room was delightful with an updated bath. The hosts were friendly and very helpful guides to the area. The complimentary glass of wine in the late afternoon helped erase tension of the drive. Breakfast was superb with an outstanding "signature" coffee served. We will definitely return and recommend to our friends!

We stayed at the Inn last weekend (Friday-Sunday) and stayed in the cottage. The owners and staff were very helpful and couldn't be nicer. The breakfasts were delicious and the atmosphere with the other guests couldn't be more enjoyable. We enjoyed having coffee on the porch before breakfast was served and we were offered wine in the early afternoon along with cookies. The warmth of welcome was genuine. A beautiful relaxing setting -- the picture on the website doesn't do it justice. We would definitely stay again.

We chose The Inn At Monticello when we decided to spend our 45th wedding anniversary in Charlottesville. We could not have made a better choice. It is a very charming and comfortable B&B on a beautiful site. Bob and Carolyn, the Innkeepers, were so warm and welcoming. I had spoken to Bob when I made my reservation and he suggested a restaurant for our anniversary dinner and made our reservation for us. Carolyn even printed out directions for us to the Inn where we were having dinner. The Inn At Monticello is beautifully furnished, both the common areas and the bedrooms. We loved having a glass of wine in the afternoon and freshly baked cookies in the evening. Breakfast was different each day and quite good – a great way to start the day. We stayed in the Washington room which has a large bathroom a few feet outside the bedroom. I was a little concerned about that arrangement but it was fine. We even had comfy robes in our room if we wished to use them. We were only there two nights and we hated to leave. Our anniversary weekend could not have been better – even the weather was perfect. We hope to go back to The Inn At Monticello again.

We arrived at around 4:30 pm and were met by Bob, who showed us our room and then offered wine, cheese and crackers. We enjoyed them on the verandah. Our room itself was well appointed, the bed was very comfortable, and the private patio most enjoyable. The only comment I would have is a lack of storage space in our bathroom. Breakfast, served to all guests at the same time, was gourmet quality and encouraged conversation. All in all, a great stay.

The Inn was beautifully finished, quaint and located near many historic sites, and hiking trails.The breakfast was outstanding, and the hosts were very accommodating. Well worth another visit!

Proposed cuts to GSA's governmentwide policy shop to be felt throughout agencies
By Matt McLaughlin, Jason Miller
Feb 18, 2005
Agency requests $45 million for e-government projects
The White House's desire to eliminate what it considers redundant spending at the General Services Administration's Office of Governmentwide Policy might make things more difficult for one of its own offices.
A proposal to cut $9 million from the government- wide policy budget and eliminate or transfer 92 jobs out of the GSA office's 210 positions could make it harder for the Office of Management and Budget's Office of E-Government and IT to complete its work, according to GSA, OMB and former government officials.
'This is a tough budget year for everyone, and every so often programs like ours come under scrutiny,' said G. Martin Wagner, associate administrator for governmentwide policy. 'It's a refocusing of what we do. Only about one-fifth of the cuts will affect our e-government and IT work.'
Wagner added that his office does a lot more than support OMB and other agencies on IT issues. It also manages real property, travel and mail management.
GSA is going ahead with changes even though Congress still must approve a final budget. 'The budget is an articulation of what the president wants to do, and we anticipate that the budget will end up along these lines,' Wagner said. 'In order to meet these targets, we cannot wait and have to start now.'
'OGP's support for OMB tends not to be readily apparent,' said a GSA official who requested anonymity. 'We will have to manage our workload based on the staff we have. That is something we have not been too rigid about in the past, no matter if OMB or anyone else was asking for help.'
Under President Bush's fiscal 2006 spending proposal, the GSA budget would be $24.4 billion, but 99 percent of that would come from program fees, GSA budget director Debi Schilling said. The agency will seek only the remaining $219 million from congressional appropriations, a slight increase from the $216 million GSA is receiving this year.
The appropriated budget would include a 14.5 percent cut to the governmentwide policy budget to $53 million, down from $62 million this year. The budget cut is an effort to refocus the office on its core mission, Schilling said.
GSA will move some operations out of the office to other bureaus. GSA expects to eliminate 47 governmentwide policy jobs and move 45 positions to other agencies, Schilling said.
The policy office provides OMB with a number of services, including contract support, implementation of initiatives such as the Lines of Business Consolidation and E-Government projects, and governmentwide support of E-Authentication and other public-key infrastructure programs.
'OMB will have to do a better job of prioritizing what it wants,' the GSA official said. 'OGP still will be able to do the job, but we will have to be more creative.'
Karen Evans, OMB's administrator for e-government and IT, said, 'OMB doesn't expect any reduction in GSA's ability to support OMB e-gov projects, although some support that currently comes from OGP is operational rather than policy and will be transferred to operating entities in GSA that are better equipped and staffed to provide the support needed.'
Aside from OGP's work with OMB, its employees work on accessibility issues involving Section 508; support interagency councils, including the CIO and Chief Financial Officers councils; provide training programs and professional development for agency IT employees; and work on electronic business applications.
The GSA official said employees likely will be offered buy-outs or early retirement, and many will be transferred to other parts of GSA or other government agencies, and that most of the changes will be completed by October.
GSA's budget also includes requests for $5 million for the E-Government Fund and to use $40 million in surplus revenue from FSS for e-government projects. In each of the last two year's, GSA received $3 million for the E-Government Fund, and last year congressional appropriators denied FSS' request to use its surplus for e-government funding.

The first trailer has arrived online for Clint Eastwood's
Jersey Boys
, the big-screen adaptation of the hit stage musical following the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.
Following the group's meteoric rise through the '60s, thanks to the likes of
Walk Like A Man
, the film will deal with the good times before eventually moving on to the strife that came with their success…
And whether or not you're a fan of Valli's crooning, the dramatic meat on the bones of their rags to riches tale should be enough to keep things interesting.
Take a look at the new trailer, below…
Christopher Walken's involvement looks particularly enjoyable, although he's playing the group's manager rather than a shady, New Jersey hood. Booo!
Directed by Eastwood and co-starring John Lloyd Young, Erich Bergen, Vincent Piazza and Michael Lomenda,
Jersey Boys
will open in the UK on 20 June 2014.

Abortion in America
The Geography of Abortion Access - Forty years ago Tuesday, the Supreme Court ushered in legal abortion for American women when it decided in Roe v. Wade. Today, states—particularly in the South and Midwest—are eroding that right by legislating hundreds of provisions intended to impede access with burdensome obstacles. To understand more fully the complex state of access to abortion services in America, The Daily Beast identified and confirmed the location of the country's remaining 724 clinics and calculated the distance from every part of the country to its closest clinic.

The Jim Crow violence machine
In on attempted murder . . . According to evidence cited by Diane McWhorter in today's NYT:

(The News was & is owned by the Newhouse family -- Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, etc). According to McWhorter, the paper also funded and collaborated in police spying on civil rights activists.
McWhorter won a Pulitzer for Carry Me Home: Birmingham, Alabama, the Climactic Battle of the Civil Rights Revolution. Her point in today's piece is to recall how wide and deep the Jim Crow violence machine operated.

"Look, goddamn it, I'm homosexual, and most of my friends are Jewish homosexuals, and some of my best friends are black homosexuals, and I am sick and tired of reading and hearing such goddamn demeaning, degrading bullshit about me and my friends." - Merle Miller.In 1970, two years after Stonewall, Joseph Epstein wrote a cover story for Harper's Magazine, Homo/hetero: The struggle for sexual identity, that came to chilling conclusions: "I would wish homosexuality off the face of this earth." His incendiary language prompted author/journalist/writer Merle Miller to come out of the closet in the New York Times Magazine, with an angry and poignant plea for dignity, understanding and respect: "What It Means to Be a Homosexual." 40 years later, that essay helped inspire the launch of the "It Gets Better" campaign.

Electronic surveillance skyrockets in the US
The Justice Department, after a legal battle with the ACLU to avoid having to admit it, recently released documents showing that the federal government's use of warrantless "pen register" and "tap and trace" surveillance has multiplied over the past decade. But the Justice Department is small potatoes. Every day, the NSA intercepts and stores 1.7 billion emails, phone calls, texts, and other electronic communications. [more inside]

Dance before the police come
"Shut Up and Dance's 1991 hardcore LP 'Dance Before the Police Come' was released at a time when the UK authorities were struggling to contain the massive explosion of raves. Thousands of people each weekend were playing a cat and mouse game with the police to party in fields and warehouses, and if the state was often outwitted by meeting points in motorway service stations and convoys of cars, it tried to keep the lid on the phenomenon by staging high profile raids."

I have the larger auto siphon from Northern Brewer. I want to siphon into a liquid in ball lock connector so I don't have to sanitize the outside of the siphon lines. The siphon uses 1/2" ID. I see that ball lock barb'ed connectors use 1/4" ID tubing. What's the best way for me to transition... or is there such thing as a ball lock that uses a 1/2" barb? Here's the siphon here's the barb:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Corney-Corny...item1e760844d0
You will probably have to use a 1/2" barb to 1/4" barb reducing coupler and 2 hoses. I've seen the couplers at either Lowes or Home depot. I think they were polypropylene or nylon. They may have them in brass too. I found a stainless one online but it was $20.
I experimented with this and found it very frustrating. The outside diameter of my ball lock line was the same as the inside diameter of my siphon line. I attached with a pipe clamp but constantly struggled to keep air from leaking in. A good barb adapter would have avoided this issue. The main problem was that the flow was awful slow. Eventually I was so impatient that I resorted to sucking on the air post line just to get the siphon to flow. Even though my beer was quite clear I think small amounts of trub were obstructing the ball lock post. The low pressure of the siphon just wouldn't push through.
Oh, well I have an MFL ball lock also. I'll try that first! Thanks!

Do Honey Butter Chips taste like bad butter? 7
This is the latest craze in Korea.
While I'm sure lots of people genuinely like them, we found them to not live up to the hype.
There are always many crazes in Korea, much more than in Australia, which I think relates to them being a small country and the way society is here. Many things that are not actually that good, especially foods, become very popular for a while and then disappear again.
I've also heard that the way products come to being popular in Korea can be different to many other countries. For example in another country there may be snacks made by a very small company, a start up company, but their product is so good that word of mouth spreads and they get bigger. The snack or food becomes popular because it's good and the creators of it believe in their product and are passionate about it. In Korea, there are very big companies that dominate all industries, so when they want to make a good snack they can just throw money at it and create something and sell it whether it's good or not. Smaller businesses don't stand a chance against them. So if someone out there has made an actual good version of honey butter chips, it's too difficult to promote against these huge companies that control everything.
Have you tried these chips? What chips do you think are nice in your own country?

Jen T's Note:
This is a lovely iced cake (lighter version of a carrot cake) or have as a buttered loaf. I can kid myself that it is good for me because of the ingredients :) I saw this made on TV on the AWW Fresh cooking site (I think) and had to try it. It was a bit of a hit & miss with the ingredient amounts but I think I have them right as this is what I made mine with. I find I like to get all ingredients prepared first as then it is much easier to mix it altogether. Leave until cold before slicing)

Port Huron Hospital becomes McLaren's 12th hospital
Flint-based McLaren Health Care Inc. today completed its agreement to acquire Port Huron Hospital, making the 186-bed nonprofit facility McLaren's 12th hospital.
The agreement is expected to lead to expanded health services in Port Huron, including construction of a new cancer center, building improvements and upgraded technology and equipment, McLaren officials said.
"We can expand affordable high-quality health care into the Blue Water and Thumb areas of Michigan, including world-class cancer care through our recent partnership with Karmanos Cancer Institute," said McLaren CEO Phil Incarnati in a statement.
Last October, McLaren signed an agreement to acquire Detroit-based Karmanos for an unspecified amount along with a pledge to spend $80 million over the next four years to upgrade Karmanos' downtown hospital and expand two outpatient centers in Farmington Hills and Monroe.
That agreement, however, is subject of pending litigation in which the Detroit Medical Center is disputing the agreement between McLaren and Karmanos. DMC and Karmanos have a separate affiliation and services agreement going back to 2005, when DMC sold Karmanos its cancer business.
On Wednesday, Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Wendy Potts denied DMC's request for a preliminary injunction, McLaren officials told Crain's. DMC asked the court to stop further integration of Karmanos and McLaren until ongoing legal action is completed.At Port Huron Hospital, McLaren officials said an unspecified amount of capital funding for the construction of a new cancer center and a new inpatient tower will be provided as part of the agreement.
Port Huron expects to break ground for the cancer center early in 2015 with construction of the inpatient tower beginning later that year.
"In May 2013, Port Huron Hospital began a strategic review to determine the best way to strengthen and grow the hospital's facilities and services," said Tom DeFauw, Port Huron's CEO, in a statement.
"Joining McLaren Health Care allows us to remain a nonprofit, retain local decision-making and secure the future of high-quality, accessible health care for the local community," he said.
David Thompson, chairman of the board of directors for Blue Water Health Services, Port Huron Hospital's parent organization, will join the McLaren Health Care board of trustees.

kids working and going to school
My dd13/8th grade has to write a paper. I don't know the exact assignment but it is basically do you think middle/high school age kids should hold part time jobs while attending school. I am not helping her with the paper.
Do you think kids should work part time while attending school? What hours do you think is okay for them to work? So far my dd has done an occasion babysitting job. All I have told her is she will have to see how high school goes and how much she thinks she can handle. I worked in high school but never later than 8pm on school nights.

When I was in HS my parents policy was if I maintained good grades and was involved in activities I was not required to work. I was required to maintain the house, even mowing the lawn. In the summer when I had more free time I did pick up a part time job. The same applied when I was in college. My parents did not require me to work and provided financial support. I plan to do the same with my children. My dh had to work in HS while playing sports and put himself through college. It was very stressful for him and while he did it all it was not his happiest days. I know he is not interested in putting the same stress on our kids. I know you can do all three, but since we are able to provide financial support to them, I do not want to add the extra stress on to them.

This is truly one of those things where 'every kid is different".
In no way can my oldest son work and go to school full time and this was in college. It was an absolute disaster. He just could not handle the work load. Now he is in a trade/apprenticeship program where he has 3 full days of classes and works 3 days. Now my youngest, no problem. Not sure if they still do this but when my kids were in H.S. legally they could not work past 10 pm on school days anyway. We have never required or even encourage our kids to work an outside job. We are one of those "education, first last and in the middle". If they wanted to work we were cool with it but we also let them know the nanosecond their grades dropped, bye bye job.

I worked during HS and college and all summer.
My kids did not work during the school year, but had/have jobs in the summer during HS and college. I think it's important for students to have a record of work on their resumes by the time they start looking for their "real job". |

I think a PT job (10-15) hours a week for a 17 or 18 year old is a good idea - I worked at a shoe store while a Jr. in High school and I think it gave me a good work ethic, I learned responsibility, and the paycheck paid for my gas and spending money. I also met one of my best friends I still have to this day.
I generally worked one weeknight and one full weekend day. Any more than that may be too much with homework and school activities.

I only worked a little during the school year, but always worked full time in the Summer. I hope my kids will be able to do the same. Gas money & such will need to be earned, not received as a gift. But, we'll cover the basics.

I think a job in high school is a good idea assuming the student can maintain grades. It looks good on college applications as it shows that the student can be somewhat professional (you don't get kicked out of high school for being late all the time, saying your sick way more often then you should etc and can depending on the student and school get good grades still - a job is harder to manage this). Also shows that the student can manage time around multiple priorities.
As for hours I know around here its no later then 10 on school nights and midnight on weekends by law. I was fine with those hours. I definitely think even if they dont' have a job during the year that in high school and college ever student should have summer jobs. I knew a student that hard a REALLY hard time getting the first co-op for school (program required co-ops to graduate) because he was 20 years old and never had a job of any kind. He had to take one of the much less prestigious (and lower paying) jobs offered through the school (the school is more willing to accept professor recommendations that most companies are). If the school hadn't required co-ops he easily could have been 22 and trying to get his first full time job without ever having had any job. I can't imagine that would be an easy job search.

It depends on the kid and what else they are doing.
ODS played baseball while in school. Baseball WAS his job at the time. After school practice until 8 or 9 some nights--the earliest would be 7. 2-3 games per week. Practice on the weekends. During the summer, he played on two summer ball teams, one with his high school team and one with he was invited to play on. He learned everything he needed for the work force through this sport. The work ethic, being a team player, striving to learn as much as he can about the job he does and the one he wants to do all came from baseball and has helped him do well in his chosen profession. YDS finally got to a point his senior year where he could work and keep up with his classes and he had a part time job at McDonalds. He is doing well now in his job but it took awhile. I honestly think playing ball taught them more than having a part time job did. DD isn't to that point yet. But as long as she is in choir and a capella and doing well in school, we won't require her to have a job. |

Personally I don't think teens should work. But that's largely specific to where we live - lots of teens, not many jobs, and the places that do hire teens are not at all flexible about what my son calls "having a life". He has friends who have been fired for going on a family holiday (over Thanksgiving - Black Friday was a "work or else" day), who had to choose between a sport or their job because the employer wasn't willing to work around a practice schedule, etc. Unless you are available to work any time you're allowed by law to work, you're not going to find/hold a teen job in our area. And I feel that for most kids, the opportunity costs of that level of commitment to a McJob are just too high - band and football and baseball and 4H and other extracurriculars are more valuable uses of time as a teen than taking drive-thru orders.

in junior high the only 'job' I had was tutoring. in high school I got my first 'real job' and I worked maybe 20 hours per week (3 hrs each day after school, 5 hours on Saturday). it served me well. gave me skills and a proven work history so that when I HAD to work during college I had a foot up on the other college students competing (they ended up working fast food while I was able to get a higher paying office job).
it wasn't practical for our dd to work during high school-cost of gas/wear and tear on the car to any place that would hire teens (few and far between when competing with unemployed adults/college students) pretty much zero'd out earnings. we did encourage her in high school to do volunteer work, and use one elective to be a t.a., office assistant or something that would garner her skills that would be marketable for part time work during college. she ended up volunteering for the public library (and after a year they allow volunteers to list them as a job reference), and did a year of being a computer tech. for the high school teacher who was the director of technology for her school. as a result she has some skills her peers do not, along with a great letter of recommendation.

We also had the policy that if I was participating in sports that I wouldn't need to get a part time job. If I stopped, they'd expect me to get one to pay for my gas and extra goodies. I thought it was fair.
When you get to high school you have practice every day after school and/or games. There really isn't time to throw in a part time job AND have time for school work AND get to be a kid. My best friend was expected to work. She chose babysitting and made a steady income. She was expected to pay for 1/2 of a vehicle when she turned 16. Her parents would match. I can't remember if she had to pay for insurance. Definitely gas. But she had the time because she wasn't into athletics at all.

My oldest (18 and college freshman) did not work in HS. He was involved in band, theatre, chorus and a capella and those took up a tremendous amount of time. Arts kids are just as busy as sports kids! He got his first job this past summer as a camp counselor. He is now looking to find a job on campus next semester.
My youngest is 14 and would love a job, but it is very rare that 14 year olds are hired around here. When he turns 15, he can apply at Wegmans, our grocery store. He is also involved in band and theatre, will do chorus next year, wants to play tennis in the spring and is in all honors classes. I don't know where a job will fit into that schedule, but he does not like to have a lot of down time. He is my little extrovert.

I worked late some nights but I was a hostess and only worked maybe three nights a week.
At my school they had a school to work program. As long a you had enough credits in 12th grade you only had to go to school half the day than you left to go to work. That left your evenings free. It was pretty cool but I didn't do it. I had credits to make up in my 12th grade year cause I homeschooled in 11th. That being said. I personally believe now that kids shouldn't work. I think you only get 18 years to be a kid and than have to work until you retire or die. Those are a short 18 years compared to the 40+ people work. That's just me personally. I hope I can make enough so DS doesn't have to worry about it until after college but I know that's not always a reality. Sent from my iPhone using DISBoards |

My parents belief was that as a teenager your job was being a student. We were discouraged from jobs during the school year, but my sisters and I were all involved in sports every season, as well as band and other things. During the summer jobs were encouraged, but not mandatory. I did not have a car until I graduated, so I really didn't have a need for money anyway. For 3 of 4 years in college I worked full time while going to school full time, and participated in dance team.

Many interesting problems in mathematical fluid dynamics involve the behavior of solutions of nonlinear systems of partial differential equations as certain parameters vanish or become infinite. Frequently the limiting solution, provided the limit exists, satisfies a qualitatively different system of differential equations. This book is designed as an introduction to the problems involving singular limits based on the concept of weak or variational solutions. The primitive system consists of a complete system of partial differential equations describing the time evolution of the three basic state variables: the density, the velocity, and the absolute temperature associated to a fluid, which is supposed to be compressible, viscous, and heat conducting. It can be represented by the Navier-Stokes-Fourier-system that combines Newton's rheological law for the viscous stress and Fourier's law of heat conduction for the internal energy flux.
As a summary, this book studies singular limits of weak solutions to the system governing the flow of thermally conducting compressible viscous fluids.
