|The generic epithet "panaque" is a Venezuelan common name for this fish. nigro = black; lineatus = lines or stripes alluding to the fishes black stripes.
|Species Information
|340mm or 13.4" SL. Find near, nearer or same sized spp.
|The genus Panaque is identified by the teeth, which are spoon-shaped. This means that the teeth are noticeably wider at the tip than at the base. Other loricariidae have teeth that are similar width all the way from one end to the other. A second distinguishing feature is the lack of a buccal papilla, which is a "flap of skin" on the inside of the mouth. See pictures in this PDF on Pterygoplichthys.
These fish are imported in all sizes and in a number of colour forms. Interestingly the colour of the eye varies from bright orange to dull red. Although described from Venezuelan material, the colour forms that have given rise to L027 are from different locations such as the Rio Tocantins, Xingú and Tapajos, Brazil. It appears that the juveniles of Brazilian populations have solid or plain as opposed to barred caudal fin rays. So, a juvenile with barred caudal fin rays is from Colombian or Venezuelan stock.
|Undocumented, although with most ancistrine plecos the genital papilla of the female is round and blunt, that of the male by comparison is smaller and pointed. It is not known at what size this method of sexing can be used on Royal Plecos.

|22.0-30.0°C or 71.6-86°F (Show others within this range)
|Husbandry Information
|Classic ''pleco diet'' of greens. Can be acclimatized onto most vegetables; tinned peas seem a favourite. The fish also appear to eat bogwood. Some prepared foods should also be offered to supplement this diet.
|Bogwood is essential - both for dietary reasons and because it seems to be the Royal Pleco's preferred hide-out - although any suitably sized dark refuge will be utilized. When larger, Royal Plecos will re-arrange the tank to their own liking; ensure rocks are well secured and cannot be toppled against the glass.
|Territorial with conspecifics and other similarly sized catfish although otherwise peaceful with smaller fish. This fish can be a fussy feeder and only once it is feeding well should be mixed with large, boisterous fish.
|Suggested Tankmates
|Most community fish, this fish is very secretive and so you will want more active fish around to provide something to watch.
|No published information exists, but I have heard that the fish has been spawned in captivity using some form of tube in a large tank (approx. 125 US Gallons). A false dry season of two weeks (low, warm, still water) was used. Then the tank was topped off with cooler rainwater (refilling about 80%). Lots of meaty and veggie foods were offered. The pair spawned within days.
|Further Information
|Monatsb. Akad. Wiss. Berlin 1877 - pp471 - Unnumbered pl. following p. 556. Aqualog shows a number of colour variations. L027a (commonly known as the watermelon pleco or L330) is the spotted variety, L027b is the olive green variety and L027c is the golden variety. Whether or not these are distinct species or not remains unknown.

We're forced to break with a lot of traditions for the holidays this year. Coming from a tea-totaling Baptist family, there was never alcohol at the table. However, this year, I'm going to have some white wine at our Thanksgiving meal. White wine with turkey is just yum.
The problem is that I don't know squat about wine. I'm looking for something very light on the pallet. Somewhere between dry and fruity, and something reasonably priced that's easily available that I can find in a liquor/grocery store.
Okay you winos - I know you're out there. What's the good, cheap stuff?

I love White Zinfendal (it's light pink but they call it white). Most vineyards sell it...a good bottle is only around $10-$12.
It's light and fruity, slightly sweet and one that most people like, even those who don't ordinarly drink wine.
I like everything wine...from dry to sweet.
Oh, if you want a good dessert wine, get a "Niagara" wine. It's awesome! If you can find "Ice Wine", get that. It's very sweet and grape-y. It's expensive, but worth it.
Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.- Mark Twain
I suggest that between now and then you taste test 15-20 bottles to find out what you like best. That will make the time between now and then pass.
Oh, avoid the stuff in the box with the pour spout. Usually not so good. Of course, after you have polished off the aforementioned 15-20 bottles, you won't care what the stuff in the box tastes like.

I like wine but not an expert however I will give you my "suggestions" as to what to serve.
A good quality Chardonnay is fine. Somewhere between sweet and dry. The dryness tends to leave a dry feeling on the palate. It's just sweet enough to hold that down but not give you a sugar coma sweetness.
Riesling is a good white to serve. It is a German type wine and I like it myself. Blue Nun or Leibfraumilch brands are good.
Zinfandel is sort of a cross between white and red and it is a good choice for just about anything.
All wines start out white. When the grapes are pressed, the juice is generally clear. They put the grape skins back it the juice so that the tannic acid in the skins will colour it red.
Hope that helps you.

Alot of your nice tasting sweeter wines are the Rieslings & Muscato you cannot go wrong with these two choices .

Keep your booger hook off the bang switch until you want to destroy something .
I would suggest that you NOT think the more it cost the better it is! For a nice white that is fruity, not dry and not to sweet I would recommend my favorite wine," Chateau St. Michelle Riesling", around $10.00 a bottle and everyone will like it. If you want a sweet wine try "Hogue Cellars Late Harvest Riesling" at the same price point. If you want it a little on the dry side try a Chardonnay by "Gruet" still in the same price range. These are all nationally available wines and should be easy to find at a retailer near you.
Ripple or Boone's Farm. Oh, I forgot this isn't the 70's and I am not in college.
Never mind.
Whatever you decide on buy it quick. Wine will be increasing substantially in price, because of a bad growing year or two.
Shortages reminiscent of the recent ammo shortage.LOL
"Life is tough but it's really tough if you are stupid"
If you can find a piesporter reisling from the Naha region in Germany, those are excellent wines. I've actually found some here in OK which shocked me.
Thanks for the suggestions. Okay, I'm thinking about a riesling (never tried one before, but sounds like what I like), a chardonnay, and I'll get some soda pop (Zinfandel) because I remembered that my MIL likes that (thanks JL).
If there's any left over, we can polish if off the next night after taking my FIL out to our range for the day.
Thanks all.
'Clinging to my guns and religion
Chateau Ste. Michele also has a nice Prinot Gris (griigio) that is drier.
WHEC if you have a Total Wines near you, they have very knowledgable employees. I know there is one in the Harbison area of Columbia if that trip is possible.
I'm no expert but my wife drins enough to float a battleship around. She suggests a Chardonay or Reisling as Pinot said she agrees highly on the Chateua Michelle. for around 10 bucks. Also if you want to go cheap and not bad all check out Crane Lake around 5 bucks and pretty goos try it you may be surprised
Ah yes, Mad Dog, Boone's Farm and Ripple. When I was much younger I had a neighbor who had been in prison and made his own apple wine. In the sink not the bathtub. That stuff was pretty stout.

When designing application forms or interview questions for job applicants, you need to be cautious about the types of questions that should be asked. As a general rule, the questions themselves will not violate federal or state anti-discrimination law, but if you disqualify any applicants because of their answers to those questions, you may find yourself facing a lawsuit.
Protected Class Status
Employers should not make any pre-employment inquiry that will provide information from a job applicant that:
- Identifies the person as having protected class characteristics, namely age, sex, race, color, national origin, religion and disability
- Does not have any relationship to successful job performance
The only reason you should have for asking about an applicant's protected class characteristics is to fulfill EEO reporting requirements or where you can prove that a protected characteristic is a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) for the position being filled; for example, screening only women for a female part in a play.
Other Questionable Inquiries
Other pre-employment inquiries that should not appear on the application or should not be asked during the employment interview include:
- Date-of-birth questions, which may be construed as age discrimination
- Citizenship, place of birth, alienage or ancestry questions, which may be construed as national origin discrimination
- Marital status, pregnancy, number of children, child-bearing or child care questions, which may constitute gender-based discrimination
- Arrest record inquiries may be prohibited by law
- Conviction record inquiries, although allowed, should be used with extreme caution because you can use the information only if it is job-related
- Financial status questions may have a disproportionate impact on minority groups, so make sure their use is job-related
- Height and weight inquiries should never be asked during the pre-employment screening process. However, the information can be obtained after an offer of employment is made
- Physical and mental condition or handicap and disability questions should not be asked during the pre-employment process because they may constitute disability discrimination
- Questions about organizational memberships, charitable activities, hobbies or personal interests should not be asked because they may indirectly disclose a protected class characteristic
- Questions about physical descriptions or asking applicants to submit photographs are obviously not a good idea
- Questions about holiday or weekend availability are inappropriate unless you are looking to cover work shifts during those time periods
- Type of military discharge and job referral questions should be avoided
Permitted Questions
Often, there are other ways to obtain information that may appear to be discriminatory but is relevant to the position. Some examples include:
- Ask if the applicant is 18 years of age if the position must be performed by someone of minimum legal age
- Ask applicants if they are authorized to work in the United States
- On the application, list the essential functions of the job and ask applicants if they can perform the essential functions without or without reasonable accommodations
- Ask applicants questions about their education, skills and work experience only if they relate to the successful performance of the job for which you are hiring

FTC Block Party - CS2N Mode 2013-14
Key Dates
Date availability
10/03/13 to 03/14/14
Winners announced
Competition Winner
And the winning submission is...
Thank you to all those who submitted! Good luck next time and please join our other competitions!
Competition Overview
The FTC Block Party – CS2N Autonomous Mode Challenge (Autonomous Mode) is a two-minute long programming competition that takes elements from the current FTC Block Party competition and modifies them to allow the game to be played in an autonomous only mode.
The picture at the left is the FTC Block Party Game Simulation;
The Autonomous Mode challenge takes elements from the Block Party game and adds additional features that enable students to solve the program using autonomous programming only.
Autonomous Game Mode Additional Game Elements
The Green Start Zones – robots start in the green Start Zones. If your robot returns to either Green Start Zone during the match you can pause the game's Internal Timer will stop the game without a time penalty. While the clock is stopped you can: load another program to your robot and run it, rerun the same program, or switch robot types and load a new program while the clock is stopped.
The Auto Load Zones - The yellow areas are "Auto Load Zones". If you drive into an Auto Load Zone your robot is automatically loaded with blocks and you can then take them to scoring zones the same way that you can in the actual Block Party Game.
Red Warp Zones – If you drive to the one of the Warp Zones you can press the pause button on the game interface and the game's Internal Timer will stop the game without a time penalty and your robot will be Warped to a Green Start Zone. At that point you can: load another program to your robot and run it, rerun the same program, or switch robot types and load a new program while the clock is stopped.
Pause Button – If your robot does not reach either a Green Start Zone or the Red Warp Zone you have the option of pressing the pause button allowing you to: load another program to your robot and run it, rerun the same program, or switch robot types and load a new program while the clock is stopped, but you will take a 10 second time penalty.
You will find a full set of rules in the Rules/Requirements Tab on this page.

It was OK. Not quite as moist as I would have liked. I added some minced garlic and diced chili peppers for some zip.
I loved the taste and they go great with chilli or soup.
Tasted too much like stuffing and nothing like cornbread. Did not go well with chili.

While the Federal Reserve's pledge to keep interest rates low for at least the next two years might not quickly restore consumer confidence or prompt spending, it does provide an opportunity for consumers to get more for their money.
"While low-interest rates mean lower returns on savings accounts, it also means lower rates on borrowing money," said Daru Burdge, regional president for CredAbility. "Consumers can take advantage of low rates to help them save money on planned purchases."
Brothers James and Richard Owens have started Phase 1 construction for their Kingston-based manufacturing company facility, JR Global Manufacturing Inc.
The 5,000-square-foot building to be erected at 1221 Gallaher Road by Botkin Construction, will house the precision machining and production operations for the company.
"We are finally coming home to Kingston" said James Owens, company president.
Southern Security recently marked its 30th year of business and relocated to Browder's Ace Hardware, Kingston.
The new business address is 1100 Ladd Landing Blvd.
The business, which started in August 1981 in Knoxville, is owned and operated by Randy Register of Kingston.
Register constructed a new facility in 1983 and moved his business of selling safes, specifically gun safes, to Kingston.
The facility, at Oak Hills Drive and Hwy. 70 in Kingston, was Southern Security's home until the most recent move.
Thomas "Tommy" and Leslie S. Boles, formerly of Rockwood, recently acquired Main Street Insurance Services Inc. of Middletown, Ky.

Part of the vibrant Brick Lane curry scene, Bengal Village offers an award-winning taste of India. Its extensive menu, says Charles Campion, 'touches all bases' for the curryholic, with a host of authentic dishes.
Highly recommended dishes on the Bengal Village menu include a slow-cooked fish kofta masala, while unusual ingredients like Bangladeshi fruit, almonds and sugar cane are incorporated into aromatic chicken and lamb recipes. A selection of much-loved Anglo-Indian dishes sees bhuna, biryani and passanda line up alongside spicy Ceylon curry and creamy butter chicken.
There's also a host of flame-grilled tikka and shashlik meats from the clay oven at Brick Lane curry restaurant, Bengal Village. A 'city slicker' lunch menu caters for busy midday diners, while evening guests can enjoy the thali sharing selection.
The minimalist dining space of Bengal Village in London pairs crisp white walls and polished floorboards with colourful crockery and chairs. Shoreditch High Street Station, Aldgate East Tube Station and Whitechapel Tube and Overground Stations are all roughly 10 minutes' walk away.

The Literary Exchanges of Harriet Beecher Stowe,
Henry Bibb, and Frederick Douglass
IN AN OCTOBER 1852 number of Frederick Douglass's Paper appears a book notice entitled "Stolen Thunder." Briefly described therein is W. L. G. Smith's Life at the South; or Uncle Tom's Cabin as It Is, one of the many books that followed close upon Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel in an attempt to gain a corner of the market Uncle Tom's Cabin had singlehandedly created. In regard to Smith's book, "stolen thunder" has a double meaning, for, according to the reviewer, Smith is not just attempting to "make money out of the popularity of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin,'" but also seeking "withal a little capital for the 'patriarchal institution.'"1
"Stolen thunder" aptly describes most of these publishing ventures, particularly those that were shamelessly entrepreneurial and those pursued by white Americans, even when, like Stowe, they vilified slavery. But the phrase falls short of the complex relationship between Stowe's novel and the many Afro-American antislavery texts published in the late 1840s and early 1850s. Some of these appear to have followed the stolen thunder pattern: Solomon Northup's Twelve Years a Slave (1853), for example, was dedicated, with great flourish, to Stowe ("whose name, throughout the world, is identified with the GREAT REFORM ") and was generally promoted—and received—as "another key to Uncle Tom's Cabin," or, as one newspaper put it, "Uncle Tom's

Your little guy will look arresting and cute in his Police Costume for Toddlers! What more fun could a boy have than pretending to be a fearless policeman for Halloween? This outfit comes with a shirt, pants, belt, and hat. The whole make-believe uniform is all done in navy blue material with gold buttons on the shirt and gold trim around the hat. The imitation badge and emblems that also appear on the shirt and hat are great details that bring a real-life touch to the look. The final piece to put on is the belt with a fake holster attached to it. Also, browse through our selection of accessories to add a baton and pair of handcuffs to your son's policeman ensemble. When your son is out trick-or-treating this year, he may look so much like official law enforcement in our costume that people might think he's patrolling the streets instead of collecting candy!

This review is from: Mini Vacuum USB Air Extracting Cooling Fan Cooler for Notebook Laptop PC Computer
Pros: it works in 2 setting fast-normal.. it does pull a temps down by at least 2-5degrees.
Cons: the fan will not last because the wire is thin quality. eventually the wires will pull apart so try not to pull on it. even lightly tugging will wear the wires apart. for the price it is worth it.
Other Thoughts: temps from 5-2 degrees changes because the product itself gets too hot and sort of holds its own source of heat. using a good coolin pad will compliment in helping this product cool off too. hear me out ;)
Did you find this review helpful?
Cheaply built.
This review is from: Mini Vacuum USB Air Extracting Cooling Fan Cooler for Notebook Laptop PC Computer
Pros: It worked... Until it fell apart
Cons: This thing is cheaply built and you can tell from the start. The prongs that are attacked to a dial to tighten them down barely worked half the time, and any time you bumped it, it would fall off and you'd have to start all over again. Once you had it on it worked nice. But the pivoting exhaust scoop fell apart on week 2 of having it and even before that it was rattling apart.
Did you find this review helpful?
Cheap but effective
This review is from: Mini Vacuum USB Air Extracting Cooling Fan Cooler for Notebook Laptop PC Computer
Pros: It helps to pull the heat from my dedicated 630m away from the laptop and keeps games running smoother at higher settings and keeps my network card from failing while playing wirelessly
Cons: My friend and I both ordered this product and it arrived partially dissasembled in both packages differently. Bag glue job and I had to actually clip a piece of extra plastic off mine to get it to stop making a noise
Other Thoughts: if someone were to create these with a bit more diversity and functionality and make them higher quality these would be a contender in the laptop cooling market
Did you find this review helpful?
bad product

I used to spend time here on business at those "swanky" motels and bars mixing with the movie stars. What an experience; most were pretty nice to chat with.
Your pages and tips have changed my mind about Hollywood as a destination. Thanks.
Your tips and pages travelled me back to the trip we had when I visited Beverly Hills many years ago.
Fun page. I always enjoyed driving in Beverly Hills and from Hollywood to Santa Monica.
This reminds me that I need a return trip to pick up some more costumes! :-)
I certainly enjoyed reading your impressions of Hollywood. Your personable style was a delight. I love the details, the personal experiences, and helpful suggestions. Bravo!
a page dedicated to Hollywood! nice! ;)
nice page from that little part of california we all heard so much about.
I never knew all that about the sign...been there and just looked at it. How is Kasha. I have a daughter Kara
You have taken a great tour but I think, that Hollywood Sign is nothing else than a photo evidence (if you need!?) about your trip. Thanks for your Hemingway home visit with me. Best. L.

"Paradise in St Thomas"
Leslie saved the day! I should say week. My son and I decided to get away last minute and Leslie worked hard to find us space at the Ritz Carlton Villas. They were completely sold out and she truly helped us out.
The accommodations were spacious and the best on the island. Anytime we stay there I will use Leslie because she was so nice and helpful. Thanks Leslie!

Luxurious with comfort. The condo was beautifully appointed, spacious and easily accommodated our 6 person family with lots of room to spare. The resort offered lots of activities and the consierge was helpful with dinning on St Thomas and St John. The location was perfect with a beautiful view of the harbor and St John. The full maid service twice a day was over the top and the staff was always friendly and helpful. We will return -- maybe next time for a romantic getaway. Leslie was easy to deal with, answered all of our questions and made the experience effortless.

"It was the most wonderful experience!"
We have been returning to this property for the last 4 years and love it so much that we would not go to any other place on earth!
The service is excellent and we have made friends of a few of the people who work there.
The suite we had was perfect and we requested it again this year and were able to have it,
The location is so beautiful that it takes your breath away! The amenities are wonderful. Anything you might want or need is right there for you to have.
It is impossible to say what we liked best as we are so in love with this property and this I know will never change for us.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to write this review for you. I loved doing this!

"Family Vacation at Ritz Carlton St. Thomas"
My family and I have planned a trip to St. Thomas in July and we were lucky enough to connect with Leslie Jeweler to assist us in finding a condo at the Ritz Carlton!
Leslie was an absolute delight to work with through the entire process. She took the time to determine what would best meet my family's wants and needs for the trip and then coordinated everything with the hotel to secure our rental.
Leslie was always prompt to respond to any questions that I had and always kept me up to date with the status of our reservation contract.
I would highly recommend Leslie Jeweler's travel services to anyone. She's trustworthy, responsive, and overall a genuinely kind individual!
Thank you, Leslie!! Looking forward to an amazing time in St. Thomas!

"St Thomas Ritz with the Family"
Having never been to St Thomas or the BVI, we found the concierge extremely helpful and knowledgable. The condo, overlooking the beautiful water, was immaculate. Plenty of room for our family of four. Daily cleaning service was prompt and tidy.
The activities in and around the resort were great. Plenty to do every day. We all enjoyed the Spa and the fitness facility. Perhaps more opportunities for classes in the studio would be nice such as yoga, etc.
The restaurants provided excellent variety. The service, in general was as we expected in the islands: a little slow, but couldn't have been friendlier. That's the beauty of vacation and living on island time.
A day on the water with the captain and the Naughty Nymph was probably the highlight of the week. The captain (Bob) was friendly, knowledgable, and planned out the day with us as to have nearly perfect timing for lines, food, and customs.
The Ritz Club Luxury Beach Villa was the perfect home in the islands for our family of four filled with Luxury, service, and style. We had a great week.

"Beyond Wonderful! Incredible"
This was our 2nd time at the Club and our 4th time at the property. It is so beautiful, comfortable, and we love it more than I can say. We have been coming to St. Thomas since the early 70's, and love the island. Staying at the Ritz is like a dream and I cannot imagine going anywhere else.
Thw suite we had was perfect, as there were 4 in our party. Service was perfect in all areas! Those who work on the property kept telling us how happy they are in their jobs and what a wonderful company the Ritz is to work for. We have never experienced such a group of truly happy people and that was true for all of our stays there. I could go on and on and on and I feel that I am still on the property. Thank you!!!

"Vacation of a lifetime!"
As a busy CEO, true vacations are hard to come by. But, the difficulty of describing my recent stay at The Ritz Carlton Residence in St. Thomas is going to be condensing the many superlatives that come to mind in a single review. First, the 2b/ 2.5 bath condo was exquisite. The view of both the gorgeous ocean and the twinkling lights of St. John on the horizon were nothing short of magical. For my busy lifestyle, the fact that everything my heart desired was located on property was a huge plus...a multitude of lovely restaurants, every water sport the mind can conjure and 5 star amenities. I am a very adventurous person, but never left the property because I was so content. But, the true beauty of this incredible place rests securely with the staff. They are the perfect balance of warm and extremely professional. No request was too much and every day was met with a smile. After one week, my family and I left rested, rejuvenated and happy. This was a genuinely transformative trip and I will most certainly be returning every opportunity I get! There is something for everyone and each person in my tribe, with a magnitude of varying interests, left with memories that will last a lifetime.

It was a wonderful way to relax, after the craziness of the holiday season. The location is ideal. Easy to get to from New Jersey, and very easy to get here, once you land in St. Thomas. The staff was incredibly nice. The villa was beautiful with an incredible view of the blue water.

"Great Family Vacation"
If you are looking for a vacation where there is no need to leave the resort, this is it. We are a family of 7 with children ages 1-13 and the Ritz Carlton Villas had it all. Our older kids were able to enjoy water sports including paddle boarding, snorkeling, kayaking and pedal boats. The younger kids loved the pools and all of the kids toys that were provided. The villa was very clean and exactly as photographed. Housekeeping exceptional and very nice. The concierge was very quick to help with anything. We never waited for anything. Resort dining was very good as well. The best outdoor dining was at Sails, which I can confidently say was the best poolside restaurant we have ever eaten at(and we travel extensively). Bleu Water was exceptional for dinner, although the waitstaff on both evenings we dined were fair. Leslie Jeweler was easy to contact and helpful. Great vacation!

The unit was pristine, perfectly located as it is in the Cava building where the concierge staff for the residences is also located, making arrangements very simple. We were with two 80 year olds who required transportation by golf cart for most activities which was readily provided. Will definitely be back

"Supreme Comfort for the whole family"
The condo at the Ritz St. Thomas was a first-class experience starting even before we arrived. Two weeks prior to our arrival, our lovely concierge contacted us to inquire if they could stock the fridge and make dinner and entertainment reservations for our stay. That service level set the bar very high, but the Ritz did not disappoint in any way during the entire stay. The rooms were beautiful and spotless. The staff was friendly and attentive. The resort was big enough for our teenager to not feel crowded by her parents and the beaches were great. We ate at all of the four restaurants, and were delighted with both the service and quality of the food. We had room service (toddler exhausted after too many sand castles) and the menu was a little limited, but portions were great and the food arrived promptly. We are looking forward to our next stay.

"Thank You Leslie Jeweler"
We stayed in a Ritz Carlton Residence at St. Thomas in January with our three sons, ages 7, 11 and 13. The residence exceeded our expectations, and was perfect for our family. We had a first floor unit that opened up on to the pool area which was steps to the beach. We have food restrictions, so we were able to bring down our food and fully utilize the kitchen. We also took advantage of the concierge service that went supermarket shopping for us. It was really a very relaxing and hassle free vacation.
The facilities were terrific, and we had full use of the resort and water sports for an additional resort fee which we found reasonable.
We rented from Leslie Jeweler who was terrific to deal with. Her rental rate was comparable to others, but we had read some good reviews of dealing with Leslie, which made us feel safer, and she was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We would definately rent again from Leslie.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Ritz Carlton Destination Club. The first thing we noticed was awe-inspiring views from the balconies.The villa was tastefully decorated and spacious. We were delighted with the fully-equipped kitchen. (We found a grocery store just down the road a couple of miles). This was our first visit to St. Thomas and thanks to Leslie's recommendation and information we had a wonderful time and look forward to coming again.

"an amazingly wonderful week"
I met Leslie Jeweler swimming at the Ritz Carlton Residence in St.Thomas July 2009. We spoke and became friends. She suggested that for 2010 we consider renting a Time Share at the Ritz Carlton, since we come to St.Thomas each year and since our daughter and a friend would be joining us. In the Spring we decided to do this and Leslie arranged the rental of the Time Share apartment. She did it beautifully and easily.
The 2 bedroom apartment was incredible; clean, beautifully disigned and decorated. The two bedrooms were seperted by the full kitchen,livingroom, dining area,and a closed off space for the washer and dryer. We all had the privacy we wanted and needed and the togetherness we, also,wanted. The apartment had three outdoor
balaconies, two facing the sea and the other one facing a hill that had homes scattered all over it. It was like a dream! The property is magnificent, the beach and water perfect and
the attention paid to us by the staff, could not have made us feel more comfortable, relaxed and cared for in a gentle way. I feel that the Ritz is heaven on this planet; it is the most wonderful hotel company(I have had other
experiences with the Ritz, all terrific) and I will not stay anywhere else. Leslie Jeweler is wonderful, professional, friendly, kind and just a neat lady. You cannot go wrong! My Husband and I and other family members have been coming to St. Thomas since the 70's. We love this island and will not go anywhere else. I hope all of the above has been helpful
to you. Thank you. Katina Pendleton

Katina, Knew you would love it. So glad that you were able to come and enjoy our bit of Paradise. I hope that it becomes your bit of Paradise also. We love to share. The entire family sends their love....maybe some summer we'll be able to swim again together and enjoy all that the Ritz has to offer. Thanks for the lovely review.

"Perfect Combination of Island Lifestyle and Luxury Living"
As beautiful as any Ritz Carlton in the world, but situated in one of the most beautiful spots. The St. Thomas Ritz is nestled in a bay surrounded by beautiful greenery, white sand beaches, and crystal Caribbean seas. With every amenity just steps away -- from fabulous restaurants and meal service to elegant pools, beach activities and sailing adventures -- you'll be hard-pressed to find a reason to venture out. But if you do, you're a short five minute drive from Red Hook, the center of St. T's yachting community, gourmet markets and stores, and the St. John Ferry dock. St. John itself is a refreshing 15 minute ferry ride, with boats leaving virtually every half hour.
The residence itself is superbly furnished, with two balconies overlooking the ocean and pools, spacious bathrooms, and a fully-equipped kitchen. [We cooked in a couple of nights and it was great fun: local fish, and a great rum punch recipe we learned from the Ritz bartender.]
All in all, a great place for adults or families to spend time together. Most days are warm and breezy, year round. We love going in summer as much as winter -- because it's always cooler than home.
During our last stay, the general manager told us that the chairman and CEO of Marriott Corporation [which owns the Ritz Carlton chain, among others] usually took his winter vacation at the St. Thomas property. We weren't surprised that it was the first choice of a guy who owns or manages maybe 3,000 hotels. It's a fabulous place -- certainly not the cheapest, but top value when you look back at the wonderful time you're sure to have.

"Wonderful Hotel for Families and Couples Alike"
The Ritz Carlton St Thomas is a beautiful resort that offers both luxury and convenience. For children and adults there are a multitude of activities. Whether you choose the pool, the beach, the spa or any of the water sports, your stay will be enjoyable. We have had a wonderful stay both years we have stayed at the Ritz. The only criticism we have is the consistently slow service at the Coconut grove restaurant. Otherwise, service was good and the staff was friendly.

"A wonderful way to enjoy St Thomas"
The Ritz Carlton St Thomas is a beautifully appointed luxury resort style hotel with outstanding views and well trained staff. A vacation here is going to provide you with everything you need: beautiful accommodations, beach, pool and great service. Wind surfing, sailing and lots of other water activities. The resort is quiet and very relaxing.
We would certainly recommend the Ritz to anyone. The suite residences resemble small apartments with fully equipped kitchens, spacious bedrooms & baths. The units even have a washing machine+ dryer so you can do laundry while there. (!)
We also have only good things to say about Leslie Jeweler. She is a trustworthy, capable and hard working agent. Plus, she has a wonderful personality and a good heart.
Everything she told us prior to the rental was true and we never had any problems with her. Leslie is efficient and very co-operative. The properties are competitively priced and she will personally make sure you get what you are looking for. She even checked in with us later to assure that everything was to our greatest satisfaction.(!)
Deal with her and you´ll receive 5-star service for sure!!
This was our first time renting through an owner and we were so lucky to find this woman. Thank you Leslie for giving us an unforgettable vacation experience in the Caribbean, we will definitely rent again!

Thank you Linda....I'll miss all of our phone conversations, and I'm so glad that the trip met all of your expectations. Don't forget, I'm still waiting for those photo's you promised to send. Next year at the Ritz!
"This is the place for me!"
Your own place at the Ritz Carlton no less, on a gorgeous beach in St. Thomas! What could be better??? NOTHING! A stunning and spacious 3 bedroom apartment with everything you could possibly want. Our week flew by far too fast. I could live my entire life at this place!!
Let me fill you in on our secret. Renting a condo is SO FAR SUPERIOR than staying at a hotel. It's spacious, with your own kitchen, washer and drier and all of the ammenities of the hotel but you enjoy your own private space. And we still had the maid service and room service like you get at the hotel.
We were more than a little apprehensive about dealing with a stranger over the internet but Leslie gave us incredible and friendly attention in organizing our trip and witrh her really expert advice I have to tell you, we'll be back often and always use Leslie.

Valentine's Day Pops
I picked up 3 packs of heart shaped lollies the other day with the intention of making some covers for them using the Tuck & Close Envelope; Taylor's were stinkin' adorable.
I used some pretty pink cardstock and covered it with some Valentine's Day papers from Echo Park and We R Memory Keepers. Each lolly is held in place with a small glue dot and the closure is also secured with one.
I cut the circle shapes and stamped each with a variety of stamps from CTMH; I love them. Now, to get crackin' on some more....I have about 33 more pops to cover before the day of love. Think I'm gonna put them in a floral foam arrangement for my desk.

MY PRECIOUS MY PRECIOUS MY PRECIOUSin NewELLIEClub, by SimanetteFanWatch
©2011-2016 SimanetteFan
So when I went to see The Muppets in theaters this past Friday night, they had a trailer for Chipwrecked, and there's two things about the trailer that I found stood out: 1) Simon and Jeanette seemed to be featured heavily and 2) Eleanor goin' all momma grizzly over that one mango like "MY PRECIOUS! MY PRECIOUS! MY PRECIOUS!" Made me laugh out loud, you don't mess with Ellie!
That's pretty hilarious
that part in the movie was soooooooooo funny!
this awesome i going to see that movie
HAHAHA. XD This is great.
As long as she didn't bite off Simon's finger to get it... I dunno... what LOTR reference is not totally obvious?
Definatly just milking the movie quotes. Otherwise they'd have done something like "What has it gots in it's pockets?" "The onion ring!"
lol Yeah Ellie gone nuts of a lack of food

for Presta valves. I don't wanna get a floor pump cause it'd take up too much room.
for Presta valves. I don't wanna get a floor pump cause it'd take up too much room.
Topeak road or mountain morph. But your place must be tiny or packed full of stuff if you can't have a floor pump.
Topeak Turbo Morph- the small analog dial gauge was the clincher for me!
Thanks, the Topeak looks good and not too expensive.
Will I have any issues inflating my tires to good road pressures with these? (100-120psi)
They say it goes to 120 psi, so it is at its limits. The good thing is that it is built like a mini floor pump. It has a hose and a small foot area, so you can use your whole body, not just your arms to pump up the bike.
Though the small size means a lot more pumps than a regular floor pump. I still recommend you get a floor pump, especially if you run your pressure at 120 psi. I think you will tire of using the road morph all the time. I like mine, but for emergency use, not as my daily pump.
Well I'll try and see if I can use it as my only pump. Just tryin' to keep my belongings as compact as possible, as a general policy
Get a proper floor pump for regular filling. +1 on that advice.
I'd get a proper floor pump. Or perhaps even a powered air compressor like this:
Regardless of the above, I agree with everyone that you should just get a real floor pump, especially if your only reason for doing otherwise is space. You must have a closet, shelf, cabinet, or something that you can put it in while you're not using it.
Go with a floor pump, Blackburn Aero 2 is good.
I recommend a separate pump and gauge. Then, if one function breaks you don't have to replace the entire thing.

Noro Retro is a little different than the Noro yarns than you may be used to. This wonderful blend of wool, silk, and angora has a wonderful hand, and saturated solid colors. Made In Japan.

Bled after blocking
By Pudding Cup
from Cleveland
About Me Novice
Comments about Noro Retro:
The yarn felt surprisingly coarse prior to blocking but grew softer after a rinse and a gentle squeeze. However, the color bled all over the white fabric that I used as a surface for blocking. I was glad to know about that property before I gave the hat to the white-blonde friend it was intended for! That would have been a friendship killer. And, yes, the "hot red" has a magenta feel to it. Good for "winters," if you subscribe to the color-me-beautiful seasons aesthetic. It's *not* red, per se.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

hot red color is actually hot magenta!
By Martina

About Me Enthusiast
See all my reviews
I wanted to use this red to combine with my Noro Silk Garden sweater in color 302. That contains a vibrant red and I was hoping this Retro red would be a match. While it is still a wonderful yarn, the color is actually a vibrant magenta. I expected that 'hot red' would be more of a very vibrant Christmas red, as the picture showed, but it has a lot of pink going!It is beautiful but unfortunately no match for my project. Will still keep it!Maybe WEBS could add color descriptions to the image? It helps for those instances where the image may be deceiving!Thanks!

Amazing yarn
By CloClo
from Guelph, Canada
About Me Enthusiast, Parent
Alternating with Aya or Chirimen to create designs. Only 2 hanks are needed for a baby sweater or for a pair of anklets. The silk is soft but extemely durable. I handwash all my knitsand hang them to dry. After investing all the time, and knitting witha soft, luxurious treat, one cannot just throw in the machine. After knitting with Noro I just can't go back to knitting with what feels like plastic yarns. Worth evry penny.
