Darwinian Foundations for Evolutionary Economics
Stoelhorst, J. W., Journal of Economic Issues
The Revival of Veblen's Promise
Thorstein Veblen's (1898) Why is Economics Not an Evolutionary Science has been described as a manifesto for evolutionary economics that holds a promise that is yet to be fulfilled (Rutherford 1998). In this paper, Veblen presented the methodological outline of a Darwinian research program that would turn economics into a modern science. The starting point of this program was the recognition that to become a proper science economic theory should steer clear of teleology and be firmly committed to causal explanation (Hodgson 2003; 2004; Rutherford 1998). Veblen envisioned an evolutionary economics that would study the process of economic development, or "the sequence of change in the methods of . . . dealing with the material means of life" (1898, 387). This process was to be studied in terms of the individual actions that are "the motor forces of the process of economic development," (1898, 388) and in terms of the "causal sequence" (1898, 396) that explains the "cumulative growth of habits of thought" (1898, 394).
That the promise of Veblen's research program remains unfulfilled may be attributed to the confluence of a number of historical developments (cf. Hodgson 2004), but is also the result of Veblen's failure to consolidate his vision of a Darwinian economics in an analytical framework that his contemporaries and successors could build on and extend (Hodgson 2003; 2004; Rutherford 1998). As a result, post-Veblenian theory development in institutional and evolutionary economics has typically proceeded without much explicit consideration for the Darwinian foundations that Veblen advocated (Hodgson 2003; 2004). Rutherford (1998, 467) has pointed out that despite Veblen's insistence on causal explanation, his own discussions of "exactly how evolutionary processes work were frequently lacking." The central task in the project to revive Veblenian institutional economics is therefore to develop a framework that allows detailed causal explanations of economic development (cf. Hodgson 2004; 2005; 2007b). It is with this task that the current paper is concerned.
The proper role of Darwinism in efforts to rekindle Veblen's research program is the subject of a recent conceptual-methodological debate in this journal and elsewhere. This debate takes place at two levels. First, there is a general methodological debate about the ways in which Darwinism can inform theory development in institutional and evolutionary economics (Cordes 2006; 2007a; 2007b; Hodgson 2002; 2007a; Hodgson and Knudsen 2006; Nelson 2006; Poirot 2007; Stoelhorst and Hensgens 2006; Vromen 2004; Witt 2004). Second, there is a debate about how Veblen himself saw the role of Darwinism in realizing his vision of an evolutionary economics (Cordes 2005; Hodgson 1992; Ranson 2005; Rutherford 1998). This paper is concerned with the first debate, which is discussed in more detail below. The second debate, whether Veblen himself envisioned the use of Darwinism in quite the way advocated here, is an interesting question from the point of view of the history of ideas but not very relevant for attempts to ground Veblen's original research program in a more explicit and rigorous analytical framework. In fact, this paper's premise is that the development of the explanatory framework that Veblen left wanting depends on a broader set of Darwinian concepts than Veblen was willing or, given the state of theory in his time, able to adopt.
The Methodological Debate on Darwinism
There are three positions in the debate about the proper role of Darwinism in developing evolutionary economics. First, there are those who see the Darwinian variation, selection, and retention schema as a useful heuristic (e.g., Nelson 1995; 2006; Vromen 2004). Others advocate an explicit ontological commitment to Darwinism. This latter group divides into two opposing views. On one hand, there are those who advocate generalized Darwinism as the analytical framework for evolutionary economics on the grounds that it captures the ontological communality among all evolutionary processes (Aldrich et al. …

I'd go with either Roman or Nazi ranks. LOL.
Praefectus Imperator Praepositus Tribunus Sesquiplicarius and of course Centurian are catchy.
Then you got Gruppenführer, Oberführer, Oberleutnant Hauptmann
Best rank ever...."Subcommander Zero" claimed by some Latin American guerrilla leader, going to the "zero" rather than 'one' at claim to top rank.
If "Defcon 1" is all out nuclear war, the next step from Defcon 2 which is everything but ICBM launching, my next bad spy/adventure novel will be titled "Defcon Zero"

Companies That Use Military Ranks (Seems Little Goofy)
I can even think of several law enforcment agencies near me that did some different things with rank titles over the years. (There is a good chance Newby will even recognize one or more of these!)
One suburban PD a bunch of years back did away with military sounding rank and titles. They went to "softer" sounding titles. For example, instead of sergeant it was police supervisor. Instead of lieutenant it was police manger. Instead of chief it was police administrator. Last I heard, they once again haver a Police Chief and have reverted back to more traditional ranks.
Another suburban PD a little further north of the previously mentioned one had a Police Chief that I think had been former Air Force. As a result, he was a big proponent of career development. They had about a dozen or more possible sergeant ranks! Keep in mind that this is a department of about 27 sworn, thus they have about half a dozen sergeant positions as most. I actually liked the concept though. He thorougly spelled out what you needed to get promoted to sergeant (as in "buck sergeant" with no rockers). You had to have so much experience as a police officer, so much college, so many MN BCA course, etc. To move up and get a rocker you had to have more experience, college, additional BCA management/supervision courses, etc.
Keep in mind that this was during a time that it was very uncommon for Minnesota city or county cops with sergeant chevrons to have rockers underneath them. (Granted, the Minnesota State Patrol had District Sergeants back in the day with three up and one or two down, but they have effectively been converted to lieutenants many years ago.) Now, at least in the cases of Minneapolis and Saint Paul Police, I think BOTH agencies have sergeants stripes with rockers. Also, I think Saint Paul has, or at least had under the previous chief, commanders who wore rank insignia similar to a military cadet. (I think it was a pair of side by side diamonds.)
A sheriff's office I was familair with was very top heavy. After the elected sheriff, they had a Chief Deputy Sheriff, Undersheriff, AND an Assistant Sheriff! I have no idea who outranked whom. For rank insignia somebody must of had stars, bars, AND lightning bolts! I was somewhat tempted to ask that sheriff if was going to add an additional position and call the person Little Jesus, but I thought better of it.
It is sort of interesting, too, to see chiefs of small department wearing clusters of stars on their collar. I have been tempted to ask a few if they were Major General Of The National Police.
Fire service also can be interesting with rank and insignia. I can think of a fire department that I used to work with that tons of ranks. It seemed like almost everyone was a lieutenant, captain, first assitant chief, second assistant chief, district chief or batallion chief. Most fire departments I have seen sue the bugles on the collar for rank insignia. However, I have seen at least one fire chief in the past, who was a Minnesota Army National Guard Colonel, wear his Colonel eagles on his fire uniform shirt as rank insignia. As an aside, it seems like most fire departments go right from firefighter to lieutenant or captain, completely bypassing the NCO sounding ranks. That having been said, I did hear of a fire department recently with sergeants!

Jim 1348's post reminded me of the time I had to work dayshift as a dispatcher for a small PD. All of the senior officers were lieutenants, and of course three of them worked dayshift along with a sergeant. There simply wasn't enough to do - except constantly bug me. I told the woman when she got back from vacation that I would never again work days in such a brass heavy place. (To this day I refuse to work days at any place - too many suits, too many gold badges...)

On a different forum some time back they was some discussion about the sergeant rank in the New Orleans Police Department. If I can find it again I will psot a link. I think the gist of it is sergeants are not considered a supervisory rank there! If I recall correctly. you can test for sergeant after a few years, but you will be made sergeant anyway with a few more years of experience, but, again, it is not a supervisor, apparently lieutenants are the first line of supervision.
I used to work with a copper a bunch of years back that went to some training with a copper from in or near Chicago. The topic of promotional process came up and the Minnesota guy went on the realte the lengthly process of in basket assessment centers, oral interviews before a panel pf superior officers, further psychological examination, review of educational background, in depth review of experience, etc.
When it was the Chicago guys turn he related that he went to an armed robbery call, the suspect comes out armed and the copper shot him. Essentially he was promoted to sergeant after that. We sort of joked about it later that it was almost like a "field promotion" that you would see in old World War II movies!
Perhaps our Canadina members on here can refresh my memory on the RCMP. I seem to recall reading in the past that they have MANY different sergeant ranks.
Also, as sort of a trivia question here, does anybody ever recal seeing any United States Lae Enforcement agencies with sergeant chevrons pointing down, similar to say the UK and other non-US countries?

When I was managing a large security force in Calif., I started with no ranking structure. I soon realized that I need a structure for two reasons, 1. So the client and public would be able to quickly ID who was in-charge. 2. For a little added incentive for my informal leaders to apply for promotion.
After a few rounds of changes, this was the result in order of pay and responsibility:
Security Guard – unarmed, no insignia
Security Officer – armed, no insignia
Lead Security Officer – sergeant stripes. This was a non-supervisory position
Security Officer Supervisor – Lieutenant bars. This was a supervisory position
Management – One gold star. This was a management position
I used the militay isignia becasue it was easy to purchase and the public/clients already knew what it ment.
In high school, I was in JROTC (Cadet 1st Lieutenant), but didn't get off on having the title, I just didn't want to take Gym.
I was a Corporal while in Corrections, and a Sergeant in another company.
At my current job (small regional Horse-piddle), we have no rank structure.
I don't really see an issue with military style ranking, it's easily identifiable, BUT... I have seen a "Chief" (with 5 star general pins) and his Colonel (Full bird pin) wife... That's just ridiculous.
BTW, I am 25 lol"What if this is as good as it gets?" ~ Melvin Udall
As for the Chief stars, it's nothing major, but it is a minor peeve of mine, seeing small town and/or special jurisdiction police chiefs wearing 4 or 5 stars like their names were McArthur or something lol, usually accompanied by some overwhelming sense of importance that far outweighs their actual place in life. Examples here and here. You just gotta wonder about the ego and mental health of the guy who needs all that "gedunk" on a police uniform. i can understand it for big departments with 4-5000 sworn officers maybe, but when you've got like 6 guys and 1 broken down patrol car, 4 stars on your collar looks a bit silly lol.
People I've personally worked for in law enforcement jobs have been much more tasteful and sensible.
The Chief at the Hospital PD I used to work for wore 2 stars (and only because his deputy chief wore 1 star), the Chief of the small town PD I worked for (he retired from Dallas PD) wore 1 star when he wore anything on his collar at all (and being out in the country, sometimes he didn't wear a uniform at all).
The Chief of my current department wears 1 star on the rare occasion he wears a uniform (like at graduation or funerals). We don't have deputy chiefs, the next rank after Chief is technically Captain (2 bars) although after the last captain left to take an assistant chief position at the sheriff's office, he was replaced by a Lieutenant.

"The pay- ments are so high he has to have free was the ready comment. The so-called "donable foods" come from federal-surpluses. They've already been paid for once by government taxes through supports and subsidies. Somerset pays storage and dis- tribution costs.' WHEN THE PLAN began in Somerset 13 months ago, Little- ton T. Dryden, supervisor of the program, estimated the cost at annually. By the time the levy was struck five months later, cost estimates had risen enough for the commissioners to set aside for the program. Recently, Mr. Dryden re- vealed that the first year's op- eration had cost taxpayers 391 including the first couple of months when those receiving the foods still 'numbered few. Not long after the program began, county residents learned that ten per cent of the popu- lation was getting (he food. Then the program dropped from the public eye. Since then, the number re- ceiving the food has risen to as high as people or 20 per cent in May. At present people are getting it. DURING THE FIRST leven PICK UP BY CADDY. A late model Cadillac wat pfcttofnpfcd amopfi can tmen dtuMe fret -V in late 1962, Mr. Riggin with- held his vote. The reason, he said, was "because I haven't had time to study the effects it would have on our tax rate or get any realistic approxima- tion of the costs." The question of donable foods had been kicked around by the commissioners before, but came to a vote in late 1962 at the insistence of State Sen. Harry T. Phoebus. Sen Phoebus threat- ened to introduce legislation which would require the county to take the program. When Mr. Riggin with- held his vote, IM said, "This program can snowball to such extremes that we won't be able to handle it." AND SNOWBALL IT HAS. With about a million tax base in the' county, the pro- jected costs of the program would require that five cents of the county's tax rate be di- verted to the program. Either that, Mr. Riggin points out, or add five cents to the rate. Why don't the commissioners do away with the program? Since the number receiving the nokso-free food represents more tiian 20 per cent of the population, it could also repre- sent as much as 20 per cent of me county's voters. Anyone running for the office of county commissioner would have a difficult time getting elected if he were opposed to the program. He might have one-fifth of the voters against him from the start, a deficit, which would be hard to over- come. "That program's done some good, there is no doubt of Mr. Riggin said, "but 1 never dreamed there would be u (Continued on page 4) IN PERI NEWSPAPER! ;

Lightroom 4.1 Help help
When I open Lightromm and either hit F1 or use the menu to access help. A box opens titled Adobe Community Help. I type in a help topic, oh say "HDR", and get a bunch of results on the left. I click on the first one and I get suggestions for Photoshop 6. If I try and limit search to a single product it offers only Lightroom 3. How can I limit Lightroom 4 help to only Lightroom 4? I don't even have those other products installed.

It's not easy to pitch in the hitter-friendly Cal League, but the Spokane native and Ferris High grad has had success. He is 6-1 with a bloated 4.52 ERA, but Kittredge is averaging 12.92 strikeouts per nine innings. In 34 relief appearances, he has struck out 100 in 762/3 innings pitched. It ranks him third among all Mariners minor-league pitchers in strikeouts. The Mariners drafted him in 2008 out of high school in the 45th round, but he chose not to sign and went to Washington. He pitched for the Huskies for two seasons and was expected to be the team's ace in 2011. But he was ruled academically ineligible before his junior season, so he signed with the Mariners.
Ex-Mariner of the week
R.A. Dickey
Pitcher, Toronto Blue Jays
People sometimes forget Dickey was a Mariner for a season. He was a Rule 5 selection during the 2008 baseball winter meetings and made 32 appearances, including 14 starts for a hapless Mariners team that lost 101 games. Dickey posted a 5-8 record that season with a 5.21 ERA. He left as a free agent. Four years later, he won the NL Cy Young for the New York Mets, going 20-6 with a 2.73 ERA. He signed a 5-year $37.5 million after that season. In his second year with the Blue Jays, he is 9-11 with a 3.99 ERA. He will pitch on Wednesday at Safeco Field.

It's the second Monday night in April, and the NCAA men's basketball title is on the line.
Whom do you want on the court for your team?
That's the question the NCAA is asking fans as it celebrates 75 years of the tournament.
Jordan or West? Isiah or Magic? Oscar or Austin?
The guard roster is stacked with tough choices. Who deserves to be on the floor?
To help with the selection, the roster already is reduced to 75: 28 guards, 28 forwards and 19 centers.
Even that could spark a debate. Among 1970s era guards, for instance, Marquette's Butch Lee makes the list, but IU's Quinn Buckner does not.
Valpo's Bryce Drew, who capped one of the tournament's best games with a most memorable shot, is not on the list, presumably because his team fell short of the regional.
Still, the Hoosier state — and IU, especially — is well-represented among the guard nominees.
In addition to the obvious choices of IU's Isiah Thomas, Indianapolis Attucks' Oscar Robertson and Notre Dame's Austin Carr, three others make the cut. Indiana's Steve Alford and Keith Smart both appear from the 1987 champs. Butler's Shelvin Mack also is on the list.
Indiana's three guard nominees are the most from any school. UCLA (Gail Goodrich and Walt Hazzard), Cincinnati (Robertson and Tom Thacker), Michigan State (Johnson and Mateen Cleaves), Connecticut (Richard Hamilton and Kemba Walker) and Duke (Bobby Hurley and Johnny Dawkins) each have two.
The players on the 75th Anniversary Team will be announced during this year's tournament, along with the Best Team and Moment.
Fans can vote at www.ncaa.com/march-madness.
Just selecting the guards is a challenge.
So, how do you decide? Is it a matter of who had the best college career? Who had the best tournament performance? Who raised their game the most? Should a player be one of only two guards selected if his team did not win a championship?
For me, it is a combination of winning a title and raising one's game that should be a guide.
With that criteria, we have narrowed the 28 guard nominees to 14 by selecting those who won a championship and raised their scoring average, as well.
This seems like a fair measure until you realize who it excludes from the list.
First, great individual players from otherwise average teams don't make the cut. That means no to West and Carr, among others.
Second, it eliminates players whose scoring average dipped even though they were key to their team's title. Robertson, Johnson and Jordan are out on this basis.
Among the remaining 14, five players raised their scoring by 20 percent or more — Dawkins, Goodrich, Miles Simon, Smart and Thomas.
Does that mean they are the best? It's your call to make and sure to be the subject of debate.
Who are the two guards deserving to start for the 75th Anniversary Team?

'Natomas Buzz' Tweeted:
Dog found near Homecoming Apts/Safeway @5pm. Yellow eyes, red collar, no tags. Animal Control picked up.
KANEOHE, HI - Two Hawaiian women have filed a lawsuit against a Petco store in Kaneohe for separate alleged incidents of dog mutilations on the part of the chain's groomers.
According to the HawaiiNewsNow.com, Gladys Kupuwai and Estelle Green say their dogs suffered injuries during grooming at the pet store.
Kupuwai claimed she dropped off her granddaughter's dog, Dodo, for a bit of primping, but when she picked up the pooch, she noticed the groomers had taken a little too much off the top.
"[She] was dried, bloody, was dry blood, everything," Kapuwai told HawaiiNewsnow.com. "I noticed that at home, so when I took her to the vet, the doctor had told me it looked like they tried to glue it back."
Green claims her dog also suffered at the hands of over exuberant clippers, returning home with bloody nails and piece of its tail missing.
PHOTOS: Sacramento City Animal Shelter
Despite the extraordinary increase in adoptions at the end of the year, countless dogs and cats sit waiting for new homes. All are stray or surrendered by their owners.
Regardless of requests for help from rescue organizations, the supply exceeds the demand or capacity. Rescue partners are working feverishly to assist in saving the animals, but the real solution lies with our community.

A dog needs serious surgery tonight after being attacked by two pit bulls in Northwest.
Police say Sian, a 32-pound Cocker Spaniel-Springer mix, was rushed to the animal hospital in critical condition after he was attacked by two loose pit bulls at 7th and Ingraham Streets in Petworth.
"I heard screams and a dog," says Dakota Pernell.
Pernell, 18, lives across the street and was hurt in the attack.
"I notice the lady is trying so hard to get her dog from underneath two dogs, two bigger dogs," says Pernell.
She says the dog walker couldn't break Sian free.
"The pit bull had the dog in its mouth like it was a toy," says Pernell.
She ran out and says some neighbors did nothing.
"They were watching it like a movie," she says.
But two doors down, 74-year-old Cecil Bolton sprang into action.
"I run out with a piece of stick," he says.
Pernell ran out and says some neighbors did nothing.
"We said 'oh no no no, don't go because it could change direction and attack him, but he kept running," says Anne Bolton.
"I had to save a life," says Pernell.
Neighbors say Sian was locked in the pit bull's jaws. They say the dog was violently shaking Sian like a rag doll.
"I had to beat him like hell to get him off the other one," says Pernell.
He says a driver pulled up and also tried pepper spraying the pit bull.
"The dog came after me and jumped on me and I slipped and fell," says Bolton.
She says she is OK and so is Cecil. Thanks to them, the attack on Sian ended.
Sian had surgery at Friendship Animal Hospital Wednesday afternoon for extensive wounds to the abdomen. His owner was out of town, but quickly caught a flight back to D.C.
Police say the owner of the pit bulls has been cited with having unleashed dogs. One pit bull was taken into custody by Animal Control.

This apartment was so so.
The pictures look much nicer than the apartment itself.
The curtains haven seen a washing machine for a very long time.
The window was broken, I called (appears to be just a call centre lady trained to keep clients calm but isn't really helpful) but nothing was done.
You have to organise almost everything you need yourself: no kitchen towels for example.
The DVD player in the TV didn't work. Wifi was ok.
The walls are very thin, you hear EVERYTHING that happens in the house.
There were workers in the house renovating one of the apartments above and one day we didn't even have water. I called again and again no one was there to help. I had to ask the workers myself if they yould turn on the water again for at least an hour to take a shower and use the toilet.
All in all it offered a minimum of everything ... so only rent it if you're willing to deal with the things I mentioned above.
The pictures that are on the website are NO WHERE near what the actual apartment looked like! This property is less than filthy! There is a large misrepresentation.
I suggest that someone actually look at this property. The light switches in the hallway didn't work, the shower by no means had new cauking in it, the floor boards in the shower area are rotting and oh, 1/2 roll of toilet paper for 8 days for two people!!
There is a sink yes, nothing to wash with or dry the dishes with, we had to purchase. The dishes were mismatched from somebody's basement junk and dirty, they had to be washed before even using a glass!
This is not even close to what we expected. The pillows were flat and who knows how clean. The two bath towels which were left were well used and the hangers in the closet were so dusty, they couldn't be used....we had nothing to wipe them with unless we wanted to used one of the two towels were were supplied with as a hand towel and a towel for the floor ....
Would never trust the pictures again as a hostel would have been a better option but as the traveller, you are at the mercy of who you trusted and who took your money.
Ottima posizione accanto ad hide park e a pochi metri da 3 linee di metropolitana.
Appartamento essenziale e pulito. Proprietari molto disponibili a rispondere ai vari dubbi.
L'elettricità si paga a parte, ma in 4 abbiamo consumato meno di 10£ in una settimana.
E' al terzo piano, ci sono da fare un pò di scale, ma anche di sabato notte non abbiamo sentito troppi rumori dalla strada.
Amazing apartment with really good location! And good service! I would love to stay here again!
Very good location near stores and a lot of buses.
The flat is near a busy street but it's very quiet.
We had some problem with the wifi but someone was sent to deal with it.
L'appartement est très bien situé (proche de beaucoup de magasins et de restaurants). Il y'a aussi beaucoup de bus, et deux stations de metro (waterloo et overground).
L'appartement est très calme bien que situé tout près d'une avenue.
Nous avons eu quelques problèmes avec le wifi mais le problème a été réglé.
Nos ha parecido un sitio acogedor y agradable, la zona está muy bien situada, ya que con el metro que está a 5 minutos llegas a cualquier lado, el único inconveniente que podría ser destacable sería el sofá, que es algo incómodo.
I won't recomend this place to any of you...
Troubles have started right from the beginnig. We were travelling in group of 3 adults. After entering the flat, it turned out that there had been foreseen one big bed (we had known about it) and a couch. Of course quality of this couch was far from mint or even good. It was old and even sitting on it wasn't possible because ages of exploatation turned materace into bear trap. Sleeping on it was a nightmare. Besides this, there were just 2 quilts (for 3 people), when on the outside there was 3 degrees Celsius - and the windows as draughty as we were sleeping on the street. It was cold and loudly as hell (under the window there was a bus stop, where - obviously - were stopping buses all the time + passengers talks, while they were waiting for their transport; in the middle of the night - it's rather not nice). For 12 days of our residence we have been given just one roll of a toilet paper... Of course, it's not hard to buy it on ourselves, but for the person who hire an appartament it would be relatively a small cost comparing to the cost of his hiring...
The shower - I have never seen such a mess. A drain has probably never been cleaned, so while having a shower you have been staying in a swamp made by hair (and god knows what else) till your ankles... And what's more, to run the shower, you had to press a button ON THE OUTSIDE of the bathroom! It took us a while to get it...
The whole adventure has finished as unfortunatelly as it has started... For that time (12 days) we have rented 2 flats on the same street from this person (IRENE); there was another adult with us. After 5 from 12 days we were suddenly forced to return to Poland (because of health problems). We wrote a message to owner 2 days before with a question how would it be then from the financial side in this situation. We have been counting at least on a small reduction for these 6 days, while we have been no longer there. Unfortunatelly, our message have remained without any answer - we have paid for 2 flats for whole the time of our residence there (12 days) and we haven't been paid even a cent of return.
Nikomu nie poleciłabym tego zakwaterowania.
Kłopoty zaczęły się już od samego początku. Podróżowaliśmy we 3 dorosłe osoby. Po wejściu do mieszkania okazało się, że do spania przewidziane jest jedno duże łóżko (o tym wiedzieliśmy) oraz sofa, która ABSOLUTNIE do spania się nie nadaje. Jest stara i nawet siedzieć na niej ciężko, bo deski wchodzą w … Spanie na tym to był koszmar. Oprócz tego były tylko 2 kołdry (dla 3 osób), a na dworzu 3 stopnie celsjusza, okna tak nieszczelne, że spaliśmy jak na ulicy. Było zimno i potwornie głośno (pod oknem przystanek autobusowy, gdzie - wiadomo - co moment podjeżdża autobus + rozmowy pasażerów oczekujących na transport. W nocy… - wątpliwa przyjemność. Na 12 dni pobytu 3 osób w łazience zastaliśmy jedną rolkę papieru toaletowego… oczywiście można sobie kupić, ale to dla wynajmującego byłby stosunkowo niewielki koszt przy cenie wynajmu… Prysznic… większego syfu nie widziałam jak żyję. Odpływ chyba nigdy nie czyszczony, więc podczas kąpieli stało się w bagnie z włosów (i strach pomyśleć czego jeszcze) po kostki…. Żeby w ogóle uruchomić prysznic trzeba było nacisnąć przycisk NA ZEWNĄTRZ łazienki ! Sporo czasu zajęło nam zanim do tego doszliśmy.
Cała przygoda skończyła się równie niefortunnie jak się zaczęła…
Na ten czas od tego samego wynajmującego (IRENE) wynajęliśmy 2 mieszkania na tej samej ulicy. Oprócz naszej trójki była jeszcze jedna dorosła osoba. Po 5 z 12 dni musieliśmy z powodów zdrowotnych nagle wrócić do Polski. Napisaliśmy wiadomość do właścicielki 2 dni wcześniej z zapytaniem jak będzie wyglądało w tej sytuacji finansowe rozliczenie. Liczyliśmy choć na niewielką zniżkę za 6 dni, w których już nie mieszkaliśmy. Niestety nasza wiadomość pozostała bez odpowiedzi, zapłaciliśmy za oba mieszkania za cały pobyt (to była przedpłata) i nie dostaliśmy ani centa zwrotu za ten czas.
Appartamento pulito e ordinato. Zona tranquilla e comodissima. Una vacanza serena.
All lovely.
El piso es muy acogedor. Tiene todo lo que necesitas para pasar unas lindas vacaciones. Esta adecuado al precio que tiene.
Muy satisfecho con la estancia. Lo recomiendo.
Todo perfecto. El estudio está situado muy cerca de la parada del bus y de la metro. Tiene todo lo que presenta en las fotos, limpio y bien calefacciónado.

September 20, 2009Reviewer: Steven in TexasI have been drinking the Chocolate Malt Cytogainer for several years. I don't use it as a gainer, but as a protein source and meal replacement. I am 53 years old, slim, and haven't found anything that will bulk me up. But that's ok with me. I am addicted to this stuff and love the taste with four scoops, one quart of water, and mixed in a blender. I have this once a day, every day. It gives me energy and stays with me longer than a normal balanced meal.This review is specific to Cytogainer, Chocolate Malt

In 2012, some 3,973 acres were covered by orchards in Maryland, with apples and peaches the most productive crops. In 2014, nearly 1,900 acres of apple orchards and 800 acres of peach orchards were valued at $13.9 million.
Cover crops, including rye, barley, and other cereal grains, are planted in the fall after summer crops have been harvested. Cover crops control soil erosion and run-off, and improve the health of soil for later crops. The Maryland Agricultural Water Quality Cost-Share Program offers grants to help with expenses associated with cover crops. Using $24 million in grants, a record-breaking 492,244 acres of cover crops were planted in Maryland between 2015 and 2016. Queen Anne's County ranked first for number of cover crop acres planted, with 59,716.6.

Board mum on matters
The Board of Supervisors kept their thoughts close to the vest during the first board meeting in 2011, offering few remarks at their session on Jan. 4.
Department head reports from the Arena director and heads of the water management agency, housing department and planning commission were included in supervisors' packets. Sheriff K.C. Hamp, Parks and Recreation Director Billy Willis and Justice Court clerk Jennifer Williams did offer brief remarks.
Hamp reported just over $7,000 will be reimbursed to the county for the month of December. He has hired a new jailer and a deputy. He asked that he and three employees be allowed to attend a CrimeStoppers Conference in Biloxi Jan. 19-21. The board approved his travel request.

A few new things for late summer
While Tom is in Rwanda - I have added a few new merchandise items; at long last we have Ibriks to sell again; we added a Double Wall Glass Bodum French press (which works great to keep the brew hot); and what our customers have all been waiting for.... a Sweet Maria's Soccer/Football! Okay - so no one was waiting for this, no one asked for them, but Tom thought they would be cool anyhow. We decided to sell them to help subsidize the ones we are giving away.- Maria
